Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radial Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center.

Yeah, Armstrong and Joe Getty.

I'm strong and getty and up.

He is Armstrong and Getty.

It's fantastic. He's going to continue living his life to the fullest at the end.

They didn't believe it to be honest.

I mean, who would jump out of a normal plane?

Dr. Say it's okay?

No, no.

You can't tell him anything.

He's going to do it no matter what.

To hug and to kiss.

That's all I say.

What was this?

A world war two veteran Jimmy Hernandez who jumped out of a plane for his birthday.

101 years old.

Wow.

As the one relative said, he's going to live his life to the fullest to the end.

What was his motto there though about him going to live to love to hug and to kiss?

That's something else.

That's something like that.

What is it with the oldsters who want to jump out of a plane?

I just wonder if he was a paratrooper back in the day.

That would make sense completely.

But you see that pretty regularly.

89 year old woman celebrated her birthday.

But why is that V go to I'm still with it?

I just I have no desire to do that.

I hope to live to be 89.

My dad turns 89 tomorrow.

I hope to live to be old and do all kinds of things.

I don't need to jump out of a plane.

So what?

No, I'm motorcycle be cool or something like that.

Sure.

I'm here to tell you I will live to 140 and never jump out of a plane unless it's on fire.

And then it's just 50-50.

Anyway.

So good for you, sir.

And I'll let you know.

I love you.

Thank you.

Kiss.

Yeah.

Thank you for saving democracy.

Speaking of our fighting men and women.

After 286 days, it's see the 5,000 sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln have docked in Thailand.

Hydro lady boys.

And a BS hydrodotters.

Hell hydrod your sons.

Hydro husband.

Everybody just hide and leave your liquor out.

Good lord.

The carl desires of that many young men will be difficult to satiate even for the great country of Thailand.

Anyway, fellas and ladies have a great port call.

Relax.

Thanks for what you do.

Sorry you're out there so long.

But war is hell.

Moving along.

Totally different topic.

Whipsawing the audience.

America fell in love with filler.

Then came the great deflate.

We're talking about cosmetic filler.

Duck lips, etc.

Which was all the craze.

Here's this one gal who does this filler injections.

Give me the biggest lips possible.

She said clients asked her every day.

What?

Everybody wanted the same look.

Big cheeks.

Does that mean like cheekbones?

Big because nobody wants like fat chipmunk cheeks, right?

I don't think so.

Big cheeks.

Big lips.

Super sharp features.

A tinkerbell, upturned nose.

And filler was the answer to all of their requests.

That's fun.

What's.

I have a like a physical revulsion to that look.

Whenever I run into somebody it's like that.

It's like seeing somebody who's sick or something.

I like.

I have to make myself talk to them.

I feel like I'm being told to run away by my brain.

So it looks like they're in anaphylactic shock for one thing.

So I not only don't find it attractive,

it's repelling to me.

Am I in the minority?

I don't know that.

I have the same reaction, but I don't know.

So for nearly a decade filler has been more is more.

And injectors price their treatment by the syringe.

So bigger lips meant bigger profits.

Women chasing the Kardashian-esque features on their social media feeds.

Evil.

Caterpul did the business to new heights.

This, in boom times this woman was selling on average one syringe of filler per patient.

Now 99% of the time it's half or less.

And they tell her just toss the rest.

Now women don't want duck lips anymore.

Nobody wants cheeks that make them look like an avatar.

I guess from that movie.

Women my age want to look like Gwyneth Paltrow now, the 40 something say.

And younger girls want to look like Haley Bieber.

Anyway.

So filler has now become the beauty boogie man with horror online horror stories of injectables.

My grading to undesired areas and telling stories of how they had theirs dissolved.

So we worked with somebody.

She's gone now.

So I always had to be really careful about what I said.

Do you mean she's a hast or she no longer works?

She moved away and got a different job.

I think it's an industry.

And I don't think she was a listener.

So she's a super nice person like the nicest and beautiful like really, really beautiful.

But young and she would show up at work with the giant giant lips.

And then they would go.

They would deflate little by little by little over.

I don't know how many weeks, couple weeks or a month or whatever.

And then she'd come back to work again with the giant lips.

And I don't know if you're supposed to say, hey, got your lips done.

I don't know if you're supposed to say something.

What is the etiquette?

Yeah.

Are you supposed to pretend you don't notice that you look completely different than you did on Friday?

But I just don't, I just don't get it.

Folks, teach your daughters.

Teach your daughters.

Do not chase the latest beauty trend because it will end soon.

And you will regret.

Well, just, oh my god, just the online thing.

For my Instagram feed, it looks much better when I have giant duck lips or whatever.

I swear I got the internet is Satan.

It's Satan isn't a man.

It's a technology.

You mean a body altering because fashion comes and goes and ain't going to hurt you.

And he might regret having spent that much money on those jeans now that they're out of style.

The beauty trends is supposed to fashion trends.

Yeah.

Anyway, so here's the brilliance turnaround that, Gal Derma.

Well, I may have the wrong company.

Oh, okay.

So injectable aesthetics company, Evolus, brought a new hyaluronic acid injectable product line to market.

But filler is out.

So they're not going to use the word filler anymore.

And they've advised their outlets and their salespeople are all to drop the F word.

Instead, call it hyaluronic acid gel.

Sir, that won't work.

That's not bad.

That sounds scary.

That is not better.

Yeah, it sounds like something you have to get because of your condition.

They're going to have to inject you with, but it'll save your life.

And when you're teaching your daughters not to chase these beauty trends.

In 2026, the filler thing is down 70% from 2023.

But so what's the look now?

It's more thin and normal looking.

That's interesting.

They mentioned the GLP ones.

It's interesting.

Go ahead.

That this came up just because I ran into somebody the other day who I think had what you're describing.

Very thin pointed.

Nothing was inflated.

And they had that look and I thought, wow, what have you had done?

But how do you get that look?

You lose a ton of weight in Hollywood.

Actresses appear thinner than ever.

It's the resurgence of heroin chic where you've got to be just thin.

Breast implants are trending tiny.

Brazilian butlifts are being reversed.

And an overfilled face now does not match the look.

Ladies, you're beautiful the way God made you for goodness sakes.

Well, it often seems like the woman eyes describing she was unbelievably attractive.

It's often the most attractive people who do this stuff.

Yeah, chasing that last 1% of beauty.

And here you go over.

Courtney Cox interestingly enough speaking of attractive women.

A shared her filler regrets on a recent podcasting.

The treatment has a domino effect.

You keep doing more because you look normal to yourself.

You don't realize what it looks to the outside person.

Well, that seems to be the case.

The desired look now Jack is natural and normal.

Well, I hope so.

I hope that stays that way for a while.

That's an individual choice like so many things.

And wow.

That would be a tough one for me as a single guy.

And so I think somebody is like in every other way.

You know, nice decent good parents blah blah blah blah blah.

But you do a weird change in your face on a regular basis like it's a hairstyle.

Right, I would be right.

What?

If you meet somebody with those big lips, you're going to ask, so just curious.

You got a peanut allergy.

No reason.

Shell fish.

No, okay.

Just no reason to ask it.

Should I call 911 or is this on purpose?

How you doing?

I mean, health wise.

No, I guess that would be indelicate.

Word from our friends at Incogni.

Man, oh man, oh man.

I hadn't checked the dashboard on Incogni for a while because we were using Cogni to keep our

info off the net and everything like that.

Incogni got off a whole bunch of and I won't get into the specifics of it.

But private information of my life from a bunch of websites that I didn't even know you could get off there.

And I'm so happy about that.

Well, and a lot of people don't even realize it's on there.

Never mind thinking about getting it off.

But it can be hundreds of these data broker sites.

And I mean, seriously, even if you knew how can you imagine the time it would take?

Well, Incogni does it for you.

Incogni automatically removes your personal information from hundreds of data brokers and people search sites.

Incogni sends the legal removal requests and they follow up and keep monitoring

so your info stays off those lists.

Yeah, and you can look on their dashboard and see the progress on a regular basis.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Whip saw story for it.

Yeah.

I would really, really not, well, I don't have a daughter, but I would really, really not want my daughter to feel like she needs to have giant inflated lips to do something in the world.

Or breast is.

But you know, that one's been around so long.

It almost seems.

Well, for one thing, there are people with bigger breasts.

And maybe you would like to be one of those people.

I can verify that.

Yes.

But there aren't people with those lips.

They don't exist.

Unless they've ill-advisantly eaten shellfish.

Yes.

Right.

So now you're getting something that nobody has.

Anybody who has the natural large breastesses doesn't want them.

I am.

I'm promising you that.

Yeah.

Everybody wants what they don't have.

Right.

Yeah.

And that's something nailed it.

Yeah.

I'm going to be about to a Volkswagen in Germany is really interesting.

We'll get to it a little later on.

But they are facing enormous changes in technology and competition and the global economy and all.

And they can't adjust to it.

Because they're a socialized company.

We'll explain how exactly.

But they are the perfect example of why socialism just bogs down and dies of its own weight.

Coming up later.

So we have one group of people out there politically.

I'll let you guess.

This Pew Research Study of Women who blame all their problems on men.

I'll try to let you try to guess which party is doing that as opposed to the other party which hardly does that at all.

No one are we ain't having babies.

More on that a little bit later also.

Stay here.

Those of you that are into the Clancy trial, you might already know that this woman is being charged with intimidating the jury.

This story that broke in the last 24 hours will get to that coming up in a little bit.

I have nominated her for the honor of being declared the Queen of the Numb Skulls.

So we'll tell you about that in a little bit.

So the good book says I can't remember.

Is it Ecclesiastes?

To everything there is a season?

The birds, the old timey, jangly rock band made a great song about it.

There's a time to laugh, a time to weep, a time to save, a time to kill the rest of it.

Well, with socialism, no, everything is permanent.

The seasons don't change.

The bureaucracies are permanent.

The jobs are permanent.

The technologies end up being permanent because there's no incentive to innovate.

It's really an interesting story.

Volkswagen is an incredibly important company in Germany.

You say Volkswagen?

Yeah, number one that's how my parents pronounced it.

And number two, yeah, I studied German for six years.

So I can't mispronounce that it makes my skin crawl.

Well, anyway, in fact, I should be saying Volkswagen.

But I've decided to dial it back a little.

You got to keep an eye on you.

Dush fine, huh?

Anyway, so the chief executive is taking on a cost-cutting plan that's going to include

like a hundred thousand job losses in the company worldwide and in Germany.

But when he took it to his board, he knew it would be rejected because half the

supervisory board of directors are worker representatives.

And the swing votes are held by the local governments where the plants operate.

So the board factions can't come to an agreement on how to cut costs and adopt

to the modern world.

And you've got Chinese automakers moving headlong onto the German market.

They've already dethroned the German cars in China, which had been their big overseas market.

In China, there were Mercedes everywhere.

And BMWs, that was the, I've made it cars for a couple of generations since they embraced.

Well, I didn't realize Volkswagen was the number one car company in China.

Till now.

Yeah, yeah.

And so, uh, Dattata, well, they were certainly a super giant in China, along with the brands

I mentioned.

But now they're Chinese automakers are taking the German market as well as the Chinese market,

higher US tariffs under President Trump, a bumpy transition to electric vehicles and

hybrids of course, you automaker billions of dollars.

And he's pleading with this giant quasi-socialist board of directors to say we've got

to adapt or we're going to go under and they won't let them adapt.

They're accusing them of detroitization, manufacturing more cars in the United States.

There's no more expensive place to manufacture than Germany.

They, for instance, Volkswagen makes around 150 vehicle models, including those of Audi, Porsche,

and other brands, bought over the decades.

They employ more workers per car produced than any of their competitors.

Really?

Wow.

So, he's got the layers and layers of unneeded bureaucracy disease.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Much of the office staff working in the design marketing forecasting, the white collar crews

that jam up the corporate headquarters are in Germany where employee protections make it

very, very hard to cut workers.

Well, they aren't the free market within Volkswagen, but the free market will be

make them correct or put them out of business because other companies that aren't this weighted

down by unneeded employees are going to decimate them.

So, anyway, he shows up to speak to this giant group of workers and stakeholders and they're

toting placards that say our jobs aren't your balance sheet adjustment.

And then people with that sort of mindset, whatever.

Yeah, that's a good slogan.

It doesn't mean nothing.

And then you've got, like I said, a share of the board of directors in Germany is the towns

where these plants exist.

And so, you go to the head guy in lower Saxony, for instance, and say, hey, we need to close

the plant.

He's like, no, no, close a different one.

You're not closing this one.

And the CEO just has to slink away.

Why did you quit making the bug?

That should have been the question.

Do they not?

I didn't, now they quit making it several years ago.

I like it.

I thought it was cool.

I know one.

But, yeah.

I like to see him around.

Socialism sucks and it never works.

Man, oh man, oh man.

Is the whole trying to get into a relationship thing hard with the division of the politics of

men and women.

More hard, strong and getty.

In the courthouse behind me, there was an arrangement of a retired nurse that has now

been charged under Massachusetts law with intimidating or harassing a deliberating jury,

which would be the Clancy jury.

Now, this jury arrives here every day at this courthouse.

It's an undisclosed location in the back somewhere.

We've never seen them come or go.

But this woman, according to prosecutors, made her way to where that jury was and was

trying to harass or intimidate.

And in the proceeding, it was told that on her camera, there were photos of the jury,

her attorney said, no, she just wanted to see Lindsey Clancy.

She was taking pictures of the jury allegedly, which obviously would be all kinds of scary.

Her name is Dawn Light.

Is she a sidekick on a morning zoo radio show?

Wow.

Dawn Light?

And porn or something?

What an...

Everybody up, Joe Coffee is this Dawn Light.

Now Lane Changer with the traffic.

What a numbscal she is.

This, Gail apparently is obsessed with true crime stuff.

And she was desperate to get a picture of the defendant.

She says, and so it's like taking video and pictures of everybody came out of the back

door, including the jury, which is strict for Bolton speaking of German.

And maybe this is going to be in this next clip.

Could, you know, if Clancy gets convicted, could end up in some sort of, you know, hey,

judge, we got jury intimidation going on here.

Right.

Let's hear the rest of this news story.

So this woman came out of the courthouse.

She was released with no bail at all, even though prosecutors wanted that, but the order

is to stay away from this courthouse altogether.

The media mob was right there for her.

She is running, as you can see, in some of that video, to get away from them and to get

out of here.

Yeah, it turned strange here, because you got this 56-year-old woman who...

Doesn't look like she gets to the gem of a lot, attempting to run using my finger quotes

off.

Run, waddle, ruddle, if you will, before being apprehended.

Well, the irony of she's a gas that being surrounded by media onlookers who want pictures

of her, so she runs away in horror.

Um, apparently, dear, I do have to point this out.

That's what you are doing.

You're one of them.

So in social media yesterday, Joe Rogan got a lot of attention, because apparently on his

podcast, he went pretty hardcore.

She strangled the kids to death, throwing jail forever, just as that take.

And also, with the angle, with a guest of...

Imagine if a single father killed his kids, would we be getting all this sympathy with

people wearing t-shirts?

And there, but for the grace of God goes me, I know what it's like to be a dad.

Being even close to that, ever, it's not a great comparison, but it's true enough.

Just the whole man, woman thing on that.

So you ought to mention to get at least briefly for anybody, didn't hear it.

You think the judge really screwed up on the charges?

Yeah, what was that?

That was our one of the show.

We talked about there two things about this trial that are really fundamental to it, that

you probably don't know.

One, Massachusetts has a very weird set of laws around not guilty by reason of insanity.

It's not on the defenses.

It's not...

The defense doesn't have to prove that she's nuts.

The prosecution has to prove that she's not nuts, which is like unique in law.

Most virtually all other states have it the other way.

So I say I'm crazy.

I am crazy unless you can prove to a jury I'm not.

Yeah.

That is wild.

A presumption of crazy, if you will.

Then the other thing is that one legal expert that we were quoting in our one said that

it is bizarre and inexplicable that the judge allowed involuntary manslaughter, but not

voluntary manslaughter, because the difference between those two things.

Intrary manslaughter is you killed them deliberately, but you are so crazed by something.

We're not going to hold you responsible like you laid in wait for them and stalked them

and killed them.

It's just a little different.

Whereas involuntary manslaughter is more like I'm in a bar fight and I accidentally kill

a guy.

Clearly, this case is voluntary manslaughter.

Jed Rubenfeld who's been a law professor teaching this sort of thing for decades says he is

utterly flabbergasted as to why the judge said involuntary not voluntary.

So you got that going on.

How awful it be if Clancy's found guilty and then they're able to, you know, boot the

verdict because of jury intimidation from this dawn light human having pictures of

the jurors and the jurors maybe legitimately being scared that somebody is going to get

them if they go to ask them that before that appeal goes through probably.

Did you feel intimidated to change anything about the process?

But who knows?

Who knows?

Yeah.

Well, they're into day five of jury deliberation.

I have no idea what I'm talking about here.

I haven't followed the case, but if I was just going to guess where it is right now, I

think they don't come to a conclusion here and they come back to the judge today and

say, look, we just can't agree.

And then there's some forget the name.

It's like a Spanish name for the thing that happens next.

Marquis de Sade.

No.

Yeah.

Julio and Glacias or something.

And then that's it.

Yes.

They get like 10 minutes to come up with something or other, but anyway, this could end up

in a we don't come up with a conclusion in this particular trial.

Yeah.

And then they'll have to retry or at some point because they surely will.

They 100% will.

And then you should be looser during that whole time or in jail.

No.

Wow.

No, she'd still be held pending trial as a murderer.

You know, it strikes me.

How many stories have we talked about today in all weeks that?

I mean, because this this retired nurse, Jack asked,

on the slide, literally, she would be a she asked or a Jenny, if you will.

But this, this she asked.

Pused desperate for those pictures so she could post them online.

No, no, how?

How many stories do we talk about that?

Well, it happened because you know the internet.

Whether the duck lips story we were talking about before for people's Instagram feeds

are 100 different things because cause of the damn internet.

And so I mentioned this yesterday, we're not the right people to judge it

because we have a radio show and get to, you know,

express my opinion to tons of people and get whatever feeling I get from that.

So I don't know what it's like to be relatively unknown in the world.

Yeah.

But I have certainly a pretty of friends like all my family or whatever.

They don't seem to have need to seek out that validation at all.

So it's not universal that everybody without a radio show needs to try to figure

out how to get attention online.

But a certain percentage of people do and do you think it's?

Some people want to get a site going to make money because you can come up with a clever idea.

You can become really rich, really fast.

So is it mostly driven by ego gratification?

Well, I know the polls of young people have made it clear that the desire to be famous

is enormous among younger generations.

It like even more than being wealthy or successful or respected.

It's just to be famous.

They see that as an end in itself, which is a really unhealthy and bizarre.

Trust me when I say that.

So yeah, that's driving a lot of it.

I want a million likes.

I want to go viral.

Look, I couldn't give a crap.

Again, there's a bit of a conflict of interest as you described.

But even if I tweet something and it gets like six retweets, I'm like,

hey, that was really good.

What was the matter?

So yeah, it's again, it's the, and I say this all the time, but it's the,

the, it's the apple from the tree of knowledge.

We can't handle the internet.

We cannot handle the ego gratification and or bruising of getting likes or not

getting likes and retweets and, and becoming an instant hero and all of a sudden

you're famous around the world and 10 minutes later, you're not.

And I just, it makes people insane again.

Two thirds of the stories we talk about.

Well, because of the internet is to ought to be the end.

Yeah.

Why did happen because the internet?

On the other hand, if you're looking for a real good, I don't know, auto detail

or you can find them on the internet and it's kind of handy.

But you know, uh, before we take a break,

if you're not using the chat bots for this sort of thing, you are missing out.

So I've got a, uh, a fancy pen and it would ran out of ink yesterday.

And so I unscrew the thing, take out the ink cartridge.

I don't have any idea if this is like a comedy cartridge,

rare ink cartridge, whatever it is.

Anyway, I take a picture of it, tell chat GPT.

I need to buy some of these.

It gives me the link.

I click on it.

I buy five, I get them in the mail that afternoon.

That's the best way to shop and compare products and anything like that.

Just, just take a picture of it and it figures it out for you.

I didn't have to like match the numbers and write them down or anything like that.

It's amazing.

Jack with a very, very fancy pen, they get the ink.

There are only three remaining octopuses of this species that they get the ink from.

And they have to squadrain them for Jack's pen.

Yeah, they get them, they get them, they get them chained to a wall.

Right.

Right.

They feed them a certain kind of food to get the writing.

Right.

Yeah.

Anyway, but your handwriting is beautiful.

So much more to come, but first the word from our friends at draft Kings.

Armstrong and daddy.

One thing I'm big on with my child rearing is I don't want my kids to get in the habit

blaming other people for their situation in their life.

And there's a new poll out about that that is really disturbing.

We'll get into that an hour or four.

So here are a couple of stories about education.

AI agents are taking entire online courses for cheating students.

They're doing everything as online degrees become more prevalent and available,

which is really a good thing.

I mean, why do I have to go to Ann Arbor and live there to take classes from Michigan?

It's insane.

My niece graduated from the University of Kentucky having never set foot in the state

until she walked across the stage to get a degree.

Well, in many online courses, whether at community colleges or globally

around university students may never meet with their professors or their peers,

even over video.

Those classes are self-placed with pre-recorded lectures, also known as asynchronous.

Assignments and tests are submitted digitally.

Sometimes students can earn full degrees online, other times they just take individual cases.

The AI cheating is quickly accelerating beyond copy paste in an essay.

I don't see any way to have online college and AI exist at the same time.

AI agents have made it possible for students to outsource an entire semester of work with simple

commands like login and complete my quiz.

The student can unleash what is essentially an imitation of themselves.

Agents can watch lectures, take tests, write papers, and chat with classmates about reading assignments.

Wow! Keep me up to about a B plus.

I'm going to go to the beach.

And then this, um, yeah, let's not go crazy AI.

Yeah, I'm a B student.

We both know that, okay?

Well, great inflation, a B is an A.

So you're going to get an A.

Yeah, I see your point.

Thanks AI.

Anyway, and then this from the free press that I thought was fantastic in friends.

I'm probably preaching to the choir here.

When,

Ron DeSantis vowed to reform Florida universities, public universities, especially,

and said it's not going to be ideological logic step anymore.

They're not going to be Marxist factories of ideology.

We're going to restore the diversity of, of, uh, you know, opinion and point of view and stuff like that.

That's repetitive Joe.

Stop it.

Anyway, um, and one of the colleges that they did it at was the, I think the formal name of it is,

new college of Florida.

It's a fairly small-ish, uh, college, a couple thousand kids.

But the free press sent somebody down there to check it out a couple of years after that, uh,

that vow was made and the restructuring took place.

They mentioned that, um,

John Oliver and liberals all across America had, uh, said that, uh, this takeover was a lot like the

Nazis.

The exact sort of smashing grab where he's seeing in so many places right now, ideologues capture

something they hate, claiming that they want to fix it.

Then they destroy it and said, it's going to be a one-sided ideological Nazi factory.

Blah blah blah.

So the free press went there and reported on it and everybody they talked to is like,

no, it's nothing like that.

It's great.

It's fabulous.

If you want to study that particular woke topic, the way they do classes, you can find a professor

to sponsor it and blah, blah, blah.

They said, there's not lockstep anything.

Everybody gets to trade ideas now.

It's great.

You know why?

Because that's the way conservatives are.

Your bad ideas don't threaten me.

I have better ideas.

You do yours than I'll do mine and let's do it out in front of the students.

I don't want to silence anybody and that's what they're figuring out at the new college of

Florida.

It's working fine.

But again, of course it is.

Anyway, good for you, Ron.

Is AI going to kill online college?

Which again, like you said, is a good idea and a step in the right direction,

but I just can't imagine how you make it work.

If I can rephrase your question, what the F type of AIS did?

What the f*** is that?

In my wrong, my high schooler has a writing assignment.

They have to write it in class, which is becoming very, very common because you just can't

have kids show up.

Having written, you know, there are two paragraphs about John Steinbeck's The Pearl.

Because, you know, obviously.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to say something incredibly controversial.

Ten-year-old me would despise me for this.

I kind of wish somebody had made me learn to write, write, hand it.

Since I am left-handed and it's doable.

It's just hard because...

Well, if you've been pretty hardcore against that, to...

I did.

I know.

I know.

If it's done in a cruel way or a superstitious, idiotic way or something like that.

Well, yeah, because that's what they literally would do that.

Yeah, they would punish you for using your left hand.

Because the devil had you.

Well, exactly.

Sinister means on the left.

Dexterous means on the right.

Dexterous.

Dexterous.

Anyway, um, bastards, ancient popes.

I'd like to punch them right in the face with my right hand.

Because that's my punch-in-hand.

Does it run in families or is it just random?

I don't know that.

But anyway, if somebody told me, all right, yeah, it's an in-class,

you know, a thousand-word report is your final.

As a lefty, because it's slower and kind of crampy the way you have to hook your hand.

And then you smear the ink and stuff.

I'd be at a serious disadvantage over the righty's.

And it goes against everything I am to say,

I need a special dispensation.

I just, I would find it hard to do that.

But I didn't know that.

I mean, my son complains about it a lot.

He's left-handed.

My youngest and he just hates handwriting stuff.

Oh, yeah.

You're pushing the pen across this pen.

And to get the proper slant that they told you you had to have,

you know, when you're a little kid,

you have to hook your hand.

Yeah.

And yeah, it's just, it's not as good.

But anyway, bohoop.

I seem to do okay in spite of it.

Final note.

Ghost jobs.

Ads are getting so bad.

A bunch of state lawmakers want to ban them.

Evidently, depending on what you're looking at,

a huge percentage of jobs advertised online,

including on the big sites, they don't exist.

They're not going to fill them.

They don't intend to fill them.

They're just trying to get resumes or,

in case the purple unicorn shows up out of nowhere.

Maybe they'll give them a job.

But a huge selection,

a number of jobs online don't exist.

And you're wasting your time and your energy

and your emotions going after them.

And it's just cruel.

I don't know what you're going to do about it.

I don't know what you're going to do about this.

The political divide over the way we look at the world

is growing between men and women

and different kinds of women

and making the dating world.

No wonder we aren't having babies

or even having sex.

No wonder.

Get into that now or for the latest example.
