• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Time, blindness and other musings. It's one more thing. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: strong and Getty one more thing. So we got onto
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the topic of stretching on the Armstrong and Getty Show today.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Joe's a big advocate of it, and it just obviously
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is a good idea and everybody should be doing it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how it hasn't become part of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: our national hygiene in terms of things we talk about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: with kids all the time. Don't smoke, stay out of
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the sun, and stretch. It's ad stretch to that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's because kids hardly need to, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you just the need grows as you get older. And
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: our our median culture, so you know, have been so
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: oriented towards stuff for young people.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, if you play any sports even when
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you're young, these they have you stretch all the time.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: But I remember them telling me to stretch, and me
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: stretching and feeling nothing and wondering why I was doing right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: That's funny watching my niece, who was an athlete stretched
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all the time. She got like put both head leg
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: feet behind her head and stuff like, it's like, what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: are you stretching exactly? You seemed to be rubber, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we got this text about it. I thought it was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: interesting stretching. What's your cat or dog the first thing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they do when they wake up his stretch, Well, you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: ends up big brains. Apparently overcame that. Yeah, most animals
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that they do that regularly, they stretch. I'm flexible and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not a cat. So since we got on the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: topic of stretching, I brought up the story of being
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at a farmer's market with my kids and this dude
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: walked in front of me in sunglasses, did the splits
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: down to the ground, pulled a can out of his backpack,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: opened it up, and started eating eggs out of a can.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Canned eggs.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: A delicacy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if he like put the eggs
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in a can, or if you can buy canned eggs
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: or what. He was prepared for this little thing. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it was very odd, and my kids were like, Dad,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what's going on here? And I didn't know, and eventually
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we walked away. Then I googled it and it turned
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out it was like TikTok craze or something in my
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: town or something. Anyway, a guy goes around doing the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: splits in front of people and eating canned eggs to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: get in a reaction. Somebody else films it. I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Katie's done a little research on this. He is the
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: lone trend master. Okay, he's splits and the eggs. He's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the only guy doing it. He is the only guy
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: doing it, and he is known as split Man, according
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to this reddit thrill. I've gone through way too much
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to get to these answers, but here we go. He's
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: known as the split Man. Apparently he is a theater
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: major who's taking classes at Davis.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's an engineer major. You said he's going to be
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: an engineer. He's this theater major.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Theater major. And this is not being videoed. He is
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: doing this at random. Apparently he has been going up
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in front of the professor and the econ classes that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: he's taking and interrupts the lectures by dropping into the splits.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: That dude has weird vibes.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I was grocery shopping the other day, dropped down in
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: front of me and.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Did the splits.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but we are talking about the same guy because
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: someone posted a photo of the flat earth booth that
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you were referring to and said that they saw him
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Right in front of that boot.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was probably the day I was there.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but so this is not being videoed.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: He is doing this.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: For fund say, you know, I appreciate that as a purist.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He's not trying to, you know, just get clicks on TikTok.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He minds it. He's so many little.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: They just you know, they start out as an idealistic
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: split egg eating person, but then they're seduced by the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: money in the fame, right, and it's not art anymore.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They sell out, right, Yeah, exactly before you know, if
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they're doing splits and eating cand eggs for the man.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Jack, someone suggested here that the polite thing to do
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: in that situation is to also drop and do the
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: splits with him, so he's not alone.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Roy. There'd be some cracking and screaming if I did that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't imagine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: So anyway, there there's an answer there. I can't find
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: a video of you, but he's known.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. It is it is. It is a DoD
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: do like art, warhole like art. Huh.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Grant you that a lot of people are surprised by
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: his stature. They're saying they were surprised to be able
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to see a man of his size wearing jeans able
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to drop down into the splits.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So so they noticed the same thing I did. He's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: not the body type you generally expect out of somebody
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: who can immediately drop to the ground and do the splits.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And he's wear geens.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: People are saying, this guy's the reason I carry a taser.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: No, he seems completely harmless. It's just odd.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Oh that's powder. I'm looking on Amazon to figure out
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: if I could buy canned eggs.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He put him out of his backpacket. May have been
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a he has a can and he puts eggs in it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I'm looking. There's canned quail eggs.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was weird. Good for well, split man. Here's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to you. I hope I made you a little more famous.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know eggs are expensive, but I don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: know that I would ever go to the canned egg
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: option afing those hard boiled eggs that are in plastic.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: For some reason, if.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly, it was a hot day and he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was wearing a sweater also, so he didn't jeans a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: sweater eating canned eggs, doing the splits in the middle
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of the crowd, and everybody else was just ignoring him.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Me and my kids were staring straight at him, like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what z hell.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: He's so headed for homelessness or something something great.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'm predicting something great. I see greatness in this man's eyes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I couldn't see his eyes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: He was wearing sunglasses, eating canned eggs well in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: splits in the middle of.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: A farmer's market. You know, I'm gonna keep stretching and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: if I can join him, there'll be the two of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: us drop down on both sides.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You dream big.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And I'll have a nutcracker and some walnuts. It'll be
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: my act.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, if you were to be
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: inspired by him and inflict your own data ist arc
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: on the on the populace, what would you go with?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I mean what I mean, because as what the f
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: is he doing? Acts? Go, that's that's pretty good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't really believe in data style art. The original,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: most famous one was the Urinal. Was a picture of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a urinal, or was an actual urinal. It took a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: France and New York by storm. I just that sort
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of crap. I just I have no appreciation for whatsoever whatever. Okay,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: so it's way different than nobody ever expected a urinal
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: could be art. Yeah, you're right for a reason, because
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's not. Because it's not. Yeah, well do you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Guys remember where that it was some museum or art
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: set up where they taped a banana to.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: The wall, right, yeah, all that sort of stuff. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: just yeah, I just I don't.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Friend, I could get behind were the people that were
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: when you stand there and you fill your mouth with
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: water and then you slap the person across from me
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: with a tortilla and see you spits the water out
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of their mouth first.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: That was a good one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Well, slapping his time honor, that was art.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, speaking of that sort of thing, I was
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: looking at Apple's Best Albums list that they came out
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: with it. It was still controversial because they're saying, hey, perhaps
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you'd like to listen to some of these they were
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: on the best Albums list. And I came across the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Velvet Underground with Nico with the Warhole banana on the cover,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: which reminded me of that, you know, when I first
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: listened to that album, because I was told if you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a music hipster, you got to I thought it sucked,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and then I went back to it twenty years later
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: probably and it still sucked. And I gave it a
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: spin the other day and it sucks worse. It sucks.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I hate that album. It sucks. There you have it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And The Velvet Underground was hanging out with Andy Warhol
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in the factory in New York and making weird music,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and yeah, if everything is art, nothing is art. That's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the way I feel about that thing.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't hate everything the Velvet Underground does,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: but that is definitely one of those pieces of quote
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: unquote art that's been fetishized to the point that maybe
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: it's possible I don't get it. I doubt that I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: don't get it because my tastes in music are from
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: coast to coast.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so easy to go Emperor's New Clothes on
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: art and just like, well, if you don't understand it,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I can't help you, you know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But a guy who, on a hot summer's day in
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a sweater and jeans will do the splits and ingest
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: canned eggs is a man who is creating art.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: If I hadn't been at least a little bit frightened.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Not that he was frightening, but there are frightening street
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: people in the town I live, and I didn't know
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: if he's one of them or not. If I had
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: known what he was, I would have me and my
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: kids would I not? About buck. I'm glad I got
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to see it in person. I've read about it on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: redded threads. So you're the great split man. I hope
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you're not a split man imitator. I hope you're the real,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the original.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: What if I were to pour syrup over my head
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: while reciting the works of Yeats or you know, one
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of your great poets. I mean, Nah, that's kind of messy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It lacks the I mean because people would say immediately, oh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: he's looking for attention. Lacks the WTF factor.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But I was gonna ride a unicycle while baiting a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: fish hook? Does that seem like perhaps I could know
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in a top hat or something while.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Shouting where is my wife? Has anyone seen my wife? Now?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You got something?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I remember on The Simpsons of Grandpa Simpsons saying how
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: he tried.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: To get a woman by wearing a beard of bees. Well,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
