Stick With The Egg · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now a brief musical interlude. It's one more thing.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: One more thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is, but before we get
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to it, I am a motorcycle rider. Really, you didn't
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: know that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that's my life. Man.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Oh cool?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Sometimes eight years old? Awesome. Every year I think this
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: might be the last year I ride, mostly because of
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: freaking people drive like crazy. I'm not worried about me.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just worried about somebody hitting me. That's not you know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: texting or whatever. When you're riding a motorcycle, you start
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: looking in windows and everybody's texting. You think, yesh. AnyWho.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Then every year, that's.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: That's the main reason I stopped. There's just no where
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I could ride that I didn't have to, you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: go through death defying traffic.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Every year the weather turns and I say, get on
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: my motorcycle, and I think, yeah, it's too much fun.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Next year A quick but I just saw the first
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: ad I've ever seen for air bags for motorcyclists. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: think I'd heard about this, but I'd never seen an
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ad for it before. Wow, you wear this thing. It
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: looks like a plastic vest. It's got an air bag
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: on the front of the back, and like air bags
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in the car, it can go off in milliseconds. Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and I guess that would protect you. I mean, so
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna help my head. I didn't hurt. Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that's funny. One guy I know, I got hit. He
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: got his his Uh. I tell my son this because
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: he's in the riding motorcycles.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The number one wreck for motorcyclists is somebody turning left
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: in front of you. They don't see it coming. It's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that weird thing the way the brain works. You're looking
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: for cars, so you don't see the motorcycle. It's it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: funny that the brain can work that way. Yeah, but anyway,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that's the number one fatality wreck for motorcycles. First of all,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of all motorcycle fatalities are alcohol related, So if you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: don't get drunk on your motorcycle, you cut down your
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: chances of dying by quite a bit. And secondly, the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: number one reason is people turn left in front of you.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So I tell my son I look out for I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: just assume they're going to turn Just assume I had
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a friend who started riding motorcycles in his fifties. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: never like to hear that it's not the time to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: pick up a new skill that requires a lot of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: muscle memory that you should have built for many, many years.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so they turned the left in front of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: him and hit him in the side, and it punctured
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: his lungs and stuff like that. I wonder if the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: airbag thing probably gonna help with that, maybe could have. Yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it's intriguing, it is intriguing. But then are you laying
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: on top of this big pillow thing and rolling around
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the street.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I'm alive, I don't care, Yeah exactly, but it's please.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: My entire life is an embarrassment. So that wouldn't you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that wouldn't even register. It's alit.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I have to look into that. Maybe that becomes a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: thing I get for my son.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And they are looking too, I mean it looks like
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a regular vest.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: No, they look cool. Yeah, it helps a lot.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you don't look like the Michelin man riding
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: down the road. Yeah, So why do we do this first? Michael?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We're kind of cleaning out the sound Forridge, I suppose.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But clip number twenty thanks Metal Guy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Twenty one Department moving to reclassify marijuana as a less
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: dangerous drug. The DEA is proposing to allow the medical
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: use of cannabis, acknowledging it does less harm than other
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: drugs like heroin and ecstasy, but the proposal would still
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: not legalize it for recreational use. Although many states have
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: already done so, the federal regulatory review will likely take months.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I've long thought it needs to be taken off of
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Schedule one, just so that we can do more experiments
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to understand the effect of THHC, particularly in high doses
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to young brains. You can't. It's incredibly difficult and complicated
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to do medical experiments with Schedule one stuff. You just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have to go through layers and layers of bureaucracy and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: permits and that sort of thing. I think we ought
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to be damned knowledgeable about what pot does to young brains.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Like to quote the former Governor Reagan of California, like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the day before yesterday.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Well, another thing I worry about with raising kids is,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you know, pot's legal and available everywhere. But from what
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I understand, and I never got into pots, so I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: don't know much about it. But like I was talking
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to some of the other day pot fiend, former pot fiend,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: who's just talking about pot today or the stuff you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: can buy at the at the dispensaries compared to what
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: they smoked when they were like in high school. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: it's just a completely different world words, world of how
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: strong it is according to them. And so can we
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: come up with like different names. I mean, like as
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we talk about beer and whiskey, we don't usually refer
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to alcohol just in general, you know, or you had.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: An alcohol last night? Right? Yeah?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Right? Can we do that with pot where we like
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: change what are you talking about here?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's that's an interesting idea. You could you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: could discuss the THHC concentration or the you know, whatever
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ended up in your bloodstream. I didn't even know what
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: terminology to use, but yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: because the the you know, when I when I was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in college, we would have what we called Iowa ditchweed,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: which was not very potent at all, and then occasionally
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you'd get the sticky bud, the Vulcan mind eraser, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they were completely different. It was like a glass of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: beer and a glass of whiskey, as you point out,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and it's yeah, we're just we're way, way too cavalier.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not anti legalization exactly, but I read a lot
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: about the problems of overuse, especially among young people, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's serious. It can cause serious, terrible neurological problems, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be cavalier about it. I'm a libertarian.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I believe in knowing exactly what I'm putting in my body.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And if I decide to do something stupid because I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like to alter my senses, that's my But I don't.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not pro stupidity or ignorance. Know what you're doing,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Know what that substance is, what it does to your brain.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I was just reading about this syndrome where you have
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: permanent changes to your brain from psychedelics. It's fairly rare.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Some people will get it, like after the first time.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Some because they're acid heads. I've known acid casualties and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: their lives are not good. But it became clear to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: me as I got out of my younger years and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was kind of in not middle aged, but just before
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it whatever, that is the idea that I'm I'm gonna
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: mess with my brain chemistry and then it'll go back
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to normal is quite an It's a dangerous game to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: play because sometimes it doesn't go back to normal and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you should know that. So there's way a sermon.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: This pot fiend I was talking about was talking about
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: how they grew up on the East Coast and were
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: used to regularly using pot and then came to California
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and this was years ago, but they smoke pot in California.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: It's like, whoa, what the hell is that? And so
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, so you know, to have one term that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: applies on Cheech and Chong were not, you know, sitting
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: around in their van. Cheach and Chong movies were popular
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in the seventies and eighties there, Katie, I know, Cheaching
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Chong are pot smokers, but we played guitars with Chong
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in the studio once years ago. Remember that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tommy Chong, good charming guy. Yeah, couldn't have been sweeter.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But Cheach and Chong, we're not sitting around smoking the pot.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But it is gonna make your brain melt and you're
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: useless for the day. That's a different thing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: My mom thinks Cheach and Chong are the two funniest
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: people on the planet, And for her birthday, I got
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: her a cameo from Tommy Chong.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Oh cool.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of him singing Happy Birthday to my mom. It
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: was awesome.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: What did that cost?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I think it was just like one hundred and fifty bucks?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I don't really remember.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't guess that about your mom. Okay, Oh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: speaking of which, why not, let's play clip eleven. This
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is the original artist. This is Afro man.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but he wasn't
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: gonna show off and picks. Come on, Hilary Bleacht job.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: He was gonna go visit is dead. But god, he
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: thought he had a secret stash, but the White House
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: got shut down.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: We all know what. Come on, man, So Colin jo
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: just made a joke the other night at the White
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: House Correspondents Dinner about that being his cocaine that was
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: found at the White House? That ever get nailed down?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Whose cocaine that was?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: No? And, as commentators pointed out, including me at the time,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the only way that answer doesn't surface is that they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: didn't want the answer to surface. The Secret Service didn't
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the most surveilled building on Earth, right, come on, I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: have no idea who Fernando Euphrit is in clip number ten.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: He's a musician and he does impressions and he's all
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: over Instagram and TikTok.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm old and I'm on hip to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing. On the other hand, I do
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: know the song, and I am familiar with the singer,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Michael Unleisha. Would you please you gay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Ca name?
• 10:00

  Speaker 3: A bag.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: I had.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Damn back.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So why is Cartman singing a Rolling Stones classic?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Because he can jack?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Because it's hilarious.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: This why although in this I mean if somebody told me, hey,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: you want to hear Eric Cartman sing Painted Black and
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: did this, I would be rolling around laughing and admiring
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: their skills.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: A I'll do it in a second.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Part of this guy looks he's a he looks like
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a big bad zezy top beard motorcycle guy, looks like
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a metal rocker.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That he did he does a good Cartman.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but again I'll ai the guy's face and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: his beard and the guitar and somebody singing like Cartman,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and it'll take a tenth of a second. That's copyrighting, goddamnit.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: See that's that's that's that's it's right, Katie. There's no
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: fun in that. It's it's like sucking the soul out
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of human life.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Well, we gotta we'll have to figure that out. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: don't know how people are going to react to.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That by dying off, that's how they're going to react
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to it. Well, my kind is going to die off.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The example I.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Keep using it on the whole AI thing is so, uh,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: computers finally got better than humans at chess. But like
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: competitive chess is more popular than it's ever been. It
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: didn't ruin it like a lot of people thought it would.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: The computers are better than Magnus Carlson is the world's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: best chess player, but he's the most popular chess player
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: since I don't know, going the way way back, So.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Is that the guy who put a viral egg up him? No?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, he does. He does not was the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: other guy? He does not chang But anyway, so people
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: still appreciate the human bees.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Wait, Katie's making.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Her Wait a minute, what did you miss?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: What?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: There was a competitive chess guy who was winning a
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: lot of matches, and they finally figured out that he
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: was cheating by he had he had suitcased a vibrating
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: piece of equipment that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: His confederate who was watching the match would signal him
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the proper move to make, so.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: He had allegedly. I don't think it's allegedly. I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's nailed down.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Let's see at night too, King three. So how did
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: they how did they bust him?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They strip search at the end of every match?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Did this happen? We went, We went pretty uh yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: what you don't when you play chess, you don't have
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: a body cavity search. That's just part of the routine.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, the game is chest Michael. Uh, we
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: went big on this story because it was so damned
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: entertaining at the time. So he was he was not
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that good a chess player, because they actually have rankings,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and he was not the good and all of a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: sudden he started beating all these people, so they knew
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: something was up, and uh, how about you up?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: How they figured he had a vibrating egg up his heinie?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I don't remember how they nailed that down. Oh boy,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that's a commitment to the sport.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Though the sport of chess, you're gonna feel a little
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pressure and it's soft to the chess board, and.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I'd be thinking to the chess player who's watching the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: match and giving me hints. Oh was that two dots
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and one dash or two? I hate to do it,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: ask for it again, but I missed that signal?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Rat or maybe you start thinking, hey, yeah, give me
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that signal and again, just so I can be sure.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I missed that one. How about four more times
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: on that signal?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I wonder how many options of cheating they went through
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: before they landed on this one.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Seems like there would have to be a better one. Yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: maybe yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: His confederate kept coming up with other ideas. He say, no,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: let's go with you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm committed to having the egg up me. Well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I could just get a laser pointer and maybe shine
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: on the wall. No, no, no, no care, I think
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: let me stick with the egg.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: There's a guy that was a backgammon champion, but I'm
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: not going to tell the story. It's too horrible.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: String and away, yess
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
