• 0:10
  Speaker 2: valley guy voice. I know, an old surfer dude. Yeah,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: he's got to be pushing eighty, still has blonde hair,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: still wears at shaggy la. I've seen pictures of when
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: he was young. He was like your classic beach boys
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on the beach surfer guy, you know, when California was
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: actually cool and everybody wanted to live here. And he
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: says he talks like that, and he says for sure
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: all the time, actually does well.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And we have a mutual friend who answers that description too.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite guys on Earth.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I'd never known anybody who actually said for sure other
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: than you know, oh yeah, for sure, for sure. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he's like eighty.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot to you, bro. Yeah, it's beautiful.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So let's play the audio first and then we can
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: comment on it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: This is Jim Acosta, who normally is a vomit worthy
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: presence on the American scene. A boil really on the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: fani American media.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Boil this is not a good podcast. Put an explicit
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: warning on this or it's for medical I'm a wardsmith.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: That was the only description. Yeah, you had the option.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You act like your Yeah, you act like you're You
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: got one narrow choice, and that is boils on heinees.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You know what, folks, Folks, people just don't appreciate greatness
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: until after it's gone. So anyway, six play as sixty four, Michael.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, one interesting development that has emerged here in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Nevada is they're running into a problem with some of
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the mail in ballots that have come in so far.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Some of the signatures have been an issue, and election
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: workers are now reaching out to some of those folks
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: out there who have signature issues. Your signatures need to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: match those that are on file with the state. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: an interesting anecdote here, one of the problems that they're
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: running into is that a lot of young voters don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: know how to sign their names, and so when they've
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: signed their names onto some of these ballots, they are
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: not jiving with what state officials have on file. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: so what they're doing at this point is sort of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: frantically reaching out to a lot of young voters across
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the state of Devaded and saying, hey, wait a minute,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: there's a problem with your ballot. You need to check
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: in with the state and make sure that your signature
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: is verified.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So, as a guy who's been a curmudgeon since the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: age of sixteen, you know, I hate to miss a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: chance to kick the young. But a couple of things.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The idea that your signature is your password is so outdated.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Number one, as a young person, you haven't developed a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: signature that's consistent if you're eighteen nineteen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I was speaking of being a curmudgeon. I came up
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: with one. Practiced it all for high school. I went
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: back and forth a couple of times, finally settled on
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: one when I was about seventeen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Right, I did too. Actually, I practice signing autographs, which
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is a weird thing to do. But I would say,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: particularly although mine evolved.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: In your mind, in your mind at the time, what
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: were you signing autographs for? Oh, gosh, music, art?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: You're just famous, just kind of generally famous.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's really really multifaceted fame, you know, just a red
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: carpet walk kind of a thing. Ladies and gentlemen. The
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Senator from the Great State of California, you know him
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: from such silver screen classics as this and that, four
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: time Grammy winner and Major League pitcher Joe Getty.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And uh and a great purveyor of descriptive euphemisms for
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: things like boils on a.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah yeah see Katie, Yeah he kicks me, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we see your game anyway. I just I argue that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of young people haven't developed what is quote
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: unquote a permanent signature. And I will tell you this
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: because it happened to me the other day. We had
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to sign some forms my beloved bride and I and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I sign my name so frequently these days, it's all online.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's all doc you sign or type in your name,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: this will be your online signature, and imply and you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have agreed, blah blah blah. I just mine's gotten kind
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of sloppy and inconsistent on it, honestly. So I just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: think the use of the signature as you're like ID
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is an antiquated notion. It's of a bygone era.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I got rejected at a bank a couple of years
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: ago because I was trying to close an account and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to do it, I had to sign my name and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I had apparently signed it differently. My signatures didn't match
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and they wouldn't show me the old one, so I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: didn't remember, and like I apparently had changed over the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: last fifteen years or something, became a real hassle. That's dumb,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Like you just said, really, yeah, I'm not doing anything.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to commit a crime. I just don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: remember how I signed my name fifteen years ago.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But in the days of I unlocked my computer with
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: my fingerprint, and there's face recognition and then iris scans
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and and the rest of it. You're going to test
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: my ability to write my name the same way I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: always write it. I just seems silly. I don't know etiquated.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Do you put an eye over any it's you gotta
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you don't have an eye in your name? Or no,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: how do you spell Katie? I don't even know how
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you spell Katie k A T I E. Okay. Do
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you put a heart over the eye.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not twelve.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: No, some people do. Some women do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: When I when I was younger, and I thought it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: was cute. Yeah, but no, I'm I'm an adult. Thank you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's what's sweet about little girls. I love it. I please,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the e at the end, the little swirl
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all of it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I thought that this story was going to be about
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: how they don't teach cursive in school anymore.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: No, which we've learned. Neuroscientists say there's something amazing about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: writing and cursive, that it connects the artistic part of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: your brain and like the more practical, mathematic, physical part
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of your brain in a way that virtually nothing else does.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I find that fascinating. I don't think there's any need
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: for cursive writing in the modern world anymore. I just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: found that, in a neurological way really intriguing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Neither one of my kids learned cursive in school, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I haven't worried about it at all.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I could see the connect between not learning cursive and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not knowing how to sign your name though.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah that kind of hand. Yeah, well yeah, you'd have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to come up with a signature kind of out of nowhere. Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: If you never learned cursive, right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You know what, that's my signature. I can still do
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it pretty well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second, I got to write best wishes.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Thanks for coming to my movie Slash Ball Game Slash Inauguration.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Weather's here. Wish you were beautiful, Yes, Katie, No.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I was, I mean for some reason. I guess when
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I heard this, it kind of blew my mind because
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, by the time you're voting age you don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: have a signature.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: In the modern world, you might not all be. Anything
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you would ever sign is probably docu sign like Joe.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. That's just so strange to me. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. I can't wrap my head around it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And you ain't right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: What's hilarious is I got my Social Security card when
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I was a child. I can't even remember how old
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I was, but and they have you signed the front
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: as a little child, right, I'm still going to be
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: signing my name like that at age fifty.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. Yeah, my soci Security card has my
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: ridiculous signature that I had at that age.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't that young. The d's look like the No,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what wasn't the point of that? So anyway, Nevada and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: other other states are having problems with trying to figure
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: out this Joe Getty doesn't look anything like the Joe
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Getty when he registered to vote twenty eight years ago
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And it's silly. Let's move on.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Trumps signature? I ate to be
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: all about Trump on this day after election. Have you
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: seen trump signature?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: We have him squiggle.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: He signed a letter for my son when he was
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: getting medical care, and that we keep in a safe
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: place because I think he'll appreciate it someday that he's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: got a signed letter from the President. I know you're
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: going through a thing today, Henry, good luck with that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah. And he signed it. But his
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: signature is really wacky. It's like a how many times
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: has Donald Trump signed his name through the years of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: all the legal stuff and being a celebrity. Holy goal.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: You would have to come up with a weird signature, right, And.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Your signature can be anything you want it to be. Too,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: need not resemble the letters in your name at all.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: If you just replicate it. Maybe I'll come up with
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: some prints like symbols, become my signature, some umlats and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: squiggles and hard a beaver whatever you want, a pair
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of pants pants right of panted beaver decency to cover
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: up his genitals? Ah, what was I going to say?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I had one more thought on this. It's just a signature,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a squiggle. Nope, what's gone? Have anything to do? With
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: boils now and now you now.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: We gotta get out at two kt with a heart
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: over it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I just signed my name in an X and in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: kran Well, I guess that's it.
