Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jetty and know He Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, we're already seeing the effects of Trump's tariffs announcements speech.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
The stock market was affected, prices on good goods of
heights and also we had.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A viral remix out of it. Yeah, check this out.
Many of these biggest, the biggest companies in the world.
They've committed to build, build, build. We're gonna build bil Milcher, Bilcher, build, build, build,
We're gonna build Bill Bilcher Milcher. They were wrong about Navda.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
They were wrong about China China.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They were wrong about Navada. They were wrong about China China.
Thank you everybody, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Very.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's kind of fun. They're eating the cats. Ai is
going to take all of her jobs and ruin humanity.
But that was amusing.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Sure, So you haven't heard the Democrats. Usually when Trump
does something, Democrats are blasting them, but they haven't been.
You haven't heard anything out of Bernie and Elizabeth Warren
and a lot of people over the whole tariff thing. Yeah,
that's true because a lot of Democrats have been saying
the same sort of thing for years as part of
the reason. So we got a little Nancy Pelosi on
(01:30):
the House floor, a much younger Nancy Pelosi. I think
she was only seventy in this one. This is nineteen
ninety six.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
In terms of tariffs, it's think it's interesting to note
that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming
into the United States is two percent, whereas the average
Chinese MFM tariff on US goods going into China is
thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal in terms of jobs?
This is the biggest and cruelest folks of all.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Go on, Nancy.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Not only do we not have market access, not only
do they have prohibitive tariffs. Not only are our exports
not let in very specifically, but China benefits with at
least at least ten million jobs from US China trade.
China trade supports one hundred and seventy thousand jobs in
(02:24):
the United States one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, whereas
our imports from China support ten million jobs at least.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
So Trump today would love to have that Nancy Pelosi
on the cable news channels arguing since it's a lot
about China today, since they hit us back with the
thirty four percent and announce that now, she's not getting into.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Why we need to hit Canada so hard, Samoa or.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
You know, yeah, yeah, fence off China.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
For the moment. That's you know, for the purposes of
the discussion.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I agree with her completely, and at that time the
report publican party and actually Bill Clinton for quite a while,
we're selling everybody on the idea that no, no, no,
we're going to engage with China and as they get
more free trade, they'll become more free is then more
politically liberalized and become our buddy and part of the
world community, and blah blah blah, and don't worry about it.
(03:17):
Some of those jobs may go away, but they'll come back.
And Nancy Pelosi was one hundred percent right about that stuff.
One hundred percent. How does that make you feel? Kind
of odd, isn't it? Well?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
How about this one in the whole politics makes strange bedfellows.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Here's Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Tariffs can be a really valuable tool in the economic toolbox.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So think of it this way.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
You have a prescription filled right now, in America. You
realize it has a nine out of ten chance that
that medication was manufactured somewhere overseas, most likely Asia. The
materials came probably from China. Putting a tariff in place
to get more manufacturing of our antibiotics and other prescription
(03:57):
drugs here on shore makes perfect sense. It's targeted, you
know what you're trying to ascoulish.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So I just I find it.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
And Bernie's been talking about this his whole life, you know,
it's just it's it's interesting. If Trump proposes it, a
lot of people will are you know.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'm with you and vice versa.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Of course, absolutely absolutely, one hundred percent. But if if
Trump wasn't into this and Biden had proposed.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
This, yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Some of the gripes about Trump's move right now is
it's so blanket and doesn't take into account, you know,
the various factors that are so important for trade.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's just it's way too big.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And like blunt and instrument and sloppy and fast, and
I just I don't think it's going to stick around. Honestly.
I think you were quoting someone earlier last hour.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think it was that.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The shakeup will last for a little while, and then
most of it will be retracted and there will be
some wins. Trump will identify those wins and they will
be wins, and then we'll go back to much closer
to trade a week ago, especially with our allies for
goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So but we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm reading one of my favorite down to earth. Trump
is right when he's right, guys, and he's saying, this
is loney tunes.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It can't work.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So and you know, those of you who believe Trump
is right every single time on every single thing, you know,
I don't mean to offend you or anything. And we
can still be friends, absolutely, but we'll just have to see.
It could be he has a goal in mind that
I don't get. That's frequently the defense. It's, however, many
dimensions of chess you'd like to describe, and I'm just
(05:50):
too simple minded to grasp these sophistic sophisticated strategies at work.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Maybe well, here's Howard Lutnik, Trump's guy on all the channels,
Yesterday's cheerful Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
This is the reordering of fair trade. And what happens
is people think it's all about tariffs, it's about those
non tariff trade barriers. The United States buys everybody's products.
They buy, We buy everybody's goods. You just have to
treat us fairly.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
So here's something cool for you. Here's a little montage
of Trump in the eighties, the eighties. That's forties years ago.
I mean, that's a long time ago. And but so
he's believed this is whole adult business life.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
He's he's going with what he believes. I guess the
fame developer Donald Trump of New York.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
The fact is that you don't have free trade. We
think of it as free trade, but you right now
don't have free trade. And I think a lot of
people are tired of watching other countries ripping off the
United States. This is a great country. They laugh at
us behind our backs, they laugh at us because of
our own stupidity, and we let Japan come in and
dump everything right into our markets and everything.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
It's not free trade.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
If you ever go to Japan right now and try
to sell something, forget about it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Open, just forget about it. It's almost impossible.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
They are ripping us like we've never been ripped before.
If you look at Japan, if you look at China,
where we lose one hundred billion dollars a year with China.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
He was saying the same thing to Larry King and
Oprah Winfrey in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Is he saying, yeah, Yeah, I think it'll shake out
and everybody will be fine. I don't like the current
implementation of it, but there's there's It's not like it's
completely untrue what he's saying. There's plenty of truth there.
What was I going to say, Well, yeah, predatory trade
we put up with for a very long time as
a country because the Republican Party in Wall Street and
(07:41):
the big money donors said, yeah, a lot of American workers.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And consumers are getting screwed a.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Little bit, but we're making money hand over fist, and yeah,
we would prefer that Japan loosens up their trade, but
they've told us they're not going to, and we don't
want to ruffle their feathers. And we're still doing really,
really well. So we're standing up for us and what
works for us, and good luck y'all.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And that was.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Certainly, in the nineties a pretty good description of the
Republican Party, at least at times. So the predatory trade
has to end. One hundred percent. Yeah, it ought to
be more fair. Whether this is the way to get
there or not, we'll all find out together. But yeah,
this is so complicated. There are aspects of what the
White House is doing that I think are absolutely great,
(08:28):
and there are aspects of it that I think, why
are you bothering doing that? You're just messing everything up.
But again, not only am I not expert enough to
predict how this ends up, neither is anybody else.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Right, a lot of moving pieces.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
It's like when you go back in time and step
on an ant, you have no concept of how you've
changed history.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Before we take a break, Kanye West is crazy, yes,
and he says his wife has left him.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He's clan robe didn't help Kanye.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Know, and that tweet burst he had a week or
so ago just endless. Damn right, I'm hitler and it's
the Jew's fault and all that I mean, just endless,
all caps. He's screaming out for attention as a guy
who's actually meant leal, which he admits out loud. Anyway,
he said yesterday that Bianca Sensorry, his always naked wife
(09:29):
and high heels left him after trying to get him committed.
She tried to get him committed, right. I'll bet it's
not easy to get a billionaire was not currently hurting
himself for others committed.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Well, he is, certainly financially he is, but not physically.
You're allowed to be stupid, evidently, Jack. Her wisdom is
as impressive as her bosoms. As she realized her man
was going to crack up or die if she didn't
get him help, which.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Is kind of where Kim Kardashian, I think.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Was also can go, Yeah, Wow, it's too bad, because
he really is a brilliant young man.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I wonder if when he's not in his crazy mode,
he's just like pretty decent to be around.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I wonder how often those periods of lucidity are these days.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I have no idea. What he needs is more sleep.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
And we've been talking a lot about sleep lately because
I went through a period of time where I really
struggling to sleep and kept waking up. I think I
figured it out around melatonin thanks to one of you
Texters who'd done a bunch of research and some other
ideas we could at you with if you got anything
text line four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
Prce Springsteen revealing a treasure I never before heard songs.
I'm also released seven so called lost albums in June.
The collection includes eighty three songs he woke between nineteen
eighty three and twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Springsteen's going to release seven lost albums. Where'd you see
him last, Bruce?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
They were lost because you didn't think they were worth
putting out at the time. That's how they got lost.
You put them in a drawer metaphorically because there wouldn't
seem to be any reason to not because.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He didn't want to saturate the market with your work,
you know, and dilute how much she sold.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Combined with that didn't stand out enough, is like, this
is the greatest thing I've ever done that you thought
you had to have it out right.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, eighty percent of unreleased stuff is unreleased because it
didn't quite work well.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
I've gone through tons of Bob Dylan albums that were
unreleased stuff and like one out of ten songs like, wow,
this is freaking fantastic, but nine out of ten are like, well,
I can see why this was a work in progress.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, I'm old and I'm rich. I'm just putting out
everything I got. I don't give a crap anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yes, Katie didn't he just sell his entire music catalog? Yeah,
for half a billion dollars. That's why he's on the
billionaire list now.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
So I don't know what the putting out so is.
So is whoever bought his catalog putting it out? I'll
bet that's what it is. They think, Okay, we just
bought this. We got to make some money off of it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I'd almost have to see the contract because you could
retain rights to unreleased stuff depending on how it was
structured out.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Eighty through eighty three through twenty eighteen. Okay, there was
a lot of stuff in the eighties and nineties I liked,
not so much in the last however many years.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I just hope the newer stuff is really really political,
right exactly, That's what I'm looking for. So, how you
sleep and you want to take the sleep quiz along
with us, Well, it'll be tough because you won't be
able to answer it, but we'll go through that. We've
got some good information on sleep coming up.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Hmm. Okay, sleep quiz? Do I need a quiz to
let me know if I'm not sleeping. Well, I feel
like I know that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I'm sorry. That's an excellent point. No, the sleep quiz
is designed to help you figure out what style of
sleeper you are, OK, and try to craft your life
around it, because we can all just completely restructure our
lives to suit our sleeping style.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Did you at least you'd understand it. So every country
got a tariff pretty much, Yeah, including British Indian Ocean Territory.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
They got a ten percent tariff yesterday.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Yes, this is a seven little islands less than twenty
four square miles in area. The largest one consists almost
entirely of a joint US United Kingdom military base. Yes,
we're gonna soak them. The seven atolls collectively sent the
US an entire three hundred and thirty thousand dollars worth
of expert exports in the last year. We have numbers
for a that ten percent tariff, and maybe they'll come around.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Trump administration announced a twenty nine percent tariff on all
goods from Norfolk Island, a thirteen square mile remote island
territory of Australia with about two thousand people. According to
the island's administrator, they don't have any.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Trade with the United States.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
So what were all the penguin memes yesterday? Did you
find that endless penguin memes?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No, I missed completely.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
So, yeah, you go on to Ian Bremmer or lots
of different people, and it's people who don't like what
Trump's doing. But so there must have been a tariff
on someplace that's mostly penguins, because it was and they
were very funny. Yeah, it was endless. It was endless
memes about penguins reacting to the tariff. My favorite one
was it was the Oval Office from the famous meeting
(14:23):
from a couple of weeks ago, and he got vance
with his hand in the air and Trump with his finger.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
This penguins sitting on the chair and Trump is saying
cards and the penguin's just sitting there, white eyes. Sorry,
that's funny.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I don't care who you are, how you vote, that's funny.
I gotta get to the end of the penguin man.
I was foolishly hanging out with friends and talking about life.
Oh yeah, wow, wow, okay, all right, we'll see how
this all shakes out. I'm hoping it is one of
those little whoop says that you know, just don't even matter.
(15:03):
In a few weeks, we won't even think of it again.
I certainly hope that's the.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Which could be similar to like the Columbia thing a
couple of weeks ago, when he threatened Columbia with something
if you don't take back the criminal immigrants, and then
there's like a university not the country you mean, right, uh,
no country, he told the country Columbia.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Right, flying the immigrants over there.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
It's funny, kind of the same thing with the university, Right,
you don't rain in the scumbags, We're gonna punish you.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
But it was a really big deal of the threat,
and then they caved and then it was over. So
I don't know if all these countries are gonna cave,
but yeah, hopefully, well whatever, Yeah, after years of woke shows,
Maga comes for the Smithsonian is the very positive article
in the National Review.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I was just there a.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Couple of weeks ago with my kids, and it was
so annoying Henry. It was driving Henry crazy. He's really
highly tuned into woke stuff. It drives him nuts. God,
can we see one animal on display without being lectured
about climate change one?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Or how evil man?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Is?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Just constant.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Can we see one display of the nineteen tens with
how white people were this, that and the other, and
that has its place in history, but not everything all
the time.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Well, and that's presentism because you know you're judging those
people by today's standards.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I read a great think piece several months ago I
never brought to the air, we just didn't have time.
But it was explaining how Trump can rain and woke,
and a lot of it was exactly what you're seeing,
the funding of universities and research grants. And there was
one other big aspect to it. It'll pop it into
my head. But one that I thought was interesting was
(16:44):
get hold of our museums. We are indoctrinating our people
to hate our country through our museums, including the smithsonially.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah, maybe next hour we can get into exactly how
they're twisting arms. But twisting arms they are, and is
about damn time everything woke turns to amen to that.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
I don't need one of the great museums in the
world lecturing me on a political issue. Every display I
see so annoying. More on the way I stare sleep
arm strong and.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
People should be able to drive whatever car they want
without fear of going into the store and someone scratching
their car or uh, people yelling at them because of
the car that they choose to drive. A time for
all of us, you know, just to start getting along
and knock this stuff off.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
People should be able to be left alone.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
The source on that is worth mentioning the police chief
there in Minneapolis, which is one of the most woke
cities in America, saying let people drive whatever they want to.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Drive for crying out loud, kidding.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
The religious fervor around politics, calm down.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
So I've been talking about sleep a lot, as is
going through a really bad stretch of being able to
get to sleep mostly to stay asleep, and it's horrible.
I'd never really had that in my life. I know
a lot of you have had it your whole life.
And it turns out, after doing a little research, half
of Americans have sleep problems. And so we just I
won't repeat all the stuff we've discussed because maybe you've
heard it already. This person texted today about how they
(18:19):
started on ammit trip to Leen, which I'd never even
heard of. It's something you take as nanodepressant. Small amounts
as great change their life. So ask your doctor about
amit tripleen? But we got a long I'm going to
try the ice bath tomorrow, as recommended by one of
our best clients, super smart guy. He started jumping into
an ice bath in the morning, and he says it
(18:40):
changed his sleeping situation. We recorded it so we'd know
what it sounded like. I don't know if I can
do it. It sounds horrible, he says.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
It's horrible.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Ah, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
When is it ever going to seem like a good
idea to get up in the morning? And it'd be
so easy. I'll start tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll jump in the
ice bath first thing out of bed.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You see.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
That's the thing. I might believe it like I know
my own name. Just complete confidence. It's a brilliant idea,
the best idea. In day two I'd be like, no.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Well, And the theory says behind it is that it
kicks in your fight or flight and it's good for you.
Fight or Flight's not everybody's favorite feeling, you know, right right,
especially if you get a bad ticker or what have you.
Here's the headline for you.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
A freezing fountain of youth, just one week of cold
plunges could slow aging at oh cellular level.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, I'm mostly worried about sleep.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
But there's a bunch of studies out right now and
saying it helps all kinds of different things. Although I
was told by someone who keeps their finger on the
pulse of what's cool and hot in LA that the
whole ice bath thing is super popular in LA right now,
and everybody's getting the you know, six to ten thousand
dollars ice bath thing in their house, and oh, anything
that becomes a popular trend in LA, I tend to think, damn,
(19:54):
maybe maybe not well.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And the other thing I'm looking at this study, It's
not like I've examined the methodogy or whatever, But I
can cite a hundred different cures and revitalizings and the
youthification to whatevers that cite some study, and the study
is either entirely fictional or the fix was.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
In or and I don't know which one this is.
This might be a great idea. It makes sense.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I'm kind of an intuitive level, because we walk out
into and those of us who haven't lived in a cold,
cold climate for a long time, maybe you don't remember
you don't know this or you don't remember it, but
you walk out into a really cold day and you
suddenly feel more alive than you've felt in years.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Absolutely, And I say that to my kids all the
time when, like if we're back in Kansas for Christmas
or something, when it's cold like it was this last time,
Oh my god, you just well, I'm ready to go. Yeah,
just whatever happens to your body when you get cold
like that.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
You know, it's funny. It's bothered me for years. I
won't bother slagging a particular book. I've slagged many times.
But people have all these complicated sociological colonialist depressor style
theories of why the northern why away from the equator
(21:09):
developed so much industry and science and technology and the
really hot parts of the world didn't still true, and
everybody has these like I say, you know, well, because
of the exploitation of colonialism, blah blah blah, Well how
those colonial powers get advanced enough to be colonial powers.
I've lived in cold places, I've lived in hot places,
(21:30):
and when it's cold you feel like doing stuff, and
when it's hot, you feel like laying around.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
It might be it might be, and you want to
do this, it's too hot, that is the answer.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
So I want quickly on the melatonin thing, just because
I wanted to throw that in. Lots of you tried melatonin.
Every store in America now has melatonin. Lots of us.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Give it to our kids, for better or worse.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
I worry about changing the brain chemistry so your brain
doesn't pre melatonin anymore, and all those sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But anyway, how much do you take? Well?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
I was as a good alcoholic. If five is good,
ten's got to be better. So I was taking ten
to get to sleep, and then then a ten laying
there if I woke up to take again.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And it wouldn't really do anything.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Well, we got a text from somebody who had done
a bunch of research, talked to a bunch of doctors
and said, weirdly enough, if you take more than like
five or ten, it goes the other direction.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It keeps you awake. You want to take like one
or two, And I thought, I don't know why that
would work, but I started.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
I got some of the low dose ones, like the
two and a half, so and I've been breaking them
in half and taking one and sleeping soundly on ten
percent of the melatonin I was taken before. So give
it a whirl. See if at work.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, clearly biochemistry, more is not always better. Uh
So I'm trying to decide if there's any value when
is more not better?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
More pie, more booze, more money, more sex, everything you
need more of.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It's a good point.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
So I'm not sure if this has any value to
do on the air for folks.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Maybe it does.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's the sleep Doctor Sleep quiz, which a beloved listener
or doctor oz thing maybe Alisa suggested, and they go
into the different styles of sleep, your chronotype, and you
can be a bear or a lion, or a wolf
or a dolphin. And she thinks, which one is the
(23:25):
one that's probably a dolphin? Jack is a wolf? For
a dolphin, which one's the one that lays there regretting
their past?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Boy, So the bear is the most common human chronotype,
found in roughly fifty five percent of the population. People
with a bear chronotype, like bears in the wild, essentially
follow the sun, waking up when the sun rises in
the early morning and retiring as darkness falls in the
early evening. It's my dad, Their peak productivity hours are
ten am to two pm.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
That's something.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Your peak hours are ten to two that's my I'll
be lucky if I don't crash my car or fall
out of my chair hours.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Right right, Oh my god, he's got slack jawed, watery eyes.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Hours one o'clock in the afternoon. I've always wondered, how
does anybody do anything this time of day.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's the worst time of day. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
I find myself wondering whether that's because, believe it or not,
this show is kind of tiring to do, and at
the end of it, I'm at least mentally exhausted.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I wonder if that's why that I always been that way.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I remember in high school alright after one o'clock math
class and just like I'm gonna die. I don't know
if I can stay upright.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
And fall asleep and break my teeth on my desk
as my head falls anyway. People with the lion chronotype
tend to wake up early, often around five am, and
feel most energetic and productive before noon. There was a
time I crafted my life intentionally like that. I woke
up on the weekends at like four point thirty in
(24:51):
the morning, same time. I got up for work and
I would write early in the morning. I was incredibly productive.
But then around three o'clock in the afternoon, I mean
I had to like, well, I won't say do a
giant line of cocaine because I don't, but I was
so damn tired.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I was tempted anyway, line that I.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Would do a giant line of cocaine and me and
the kids would go into the park.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
With my fellow lions. That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Lions tend to feel the most accomplished when they tackle
their daily to do list as soon as possible, as
energy levels begin to fall in the early afternoon. Lions
typically wind down in the early evening and fall asleep
no later than ten pm. Roughly fifteen percent of people
have the lion chronotype. I might be that, but I
likesm a cocktails, so sometimes.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You're a lion who drinks.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm a drinking lion, so so yeah, sleeping in a
little bit sometimes feels good. If you know someone who
is not a morning person, chances are they are a wolf.
About fifteen percent of the population as this chronotype. Wolves
wake up later in the day feel most productive between
ten am and four PM. They'll also get bursts of
(25:57):
energy in the evening. Midnight or later is common bedtime
for wolves.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, that's funny. I don't know. I'm pretty good at that.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
But when I wake up in the morning, I'm as
alert as I get all day long, immediately, thank God.
And I have one kid that's like that, and another
kid who's like his mom wakes up and it's just like, yeah,
don't talk to me.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I need like a half hour to ease into the day.
I just barely know my name. Maybe you're a lion.
You just need to admit it. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And about ten percent of people have the dolphin chronotype,
which is the hardest to form a schedule around. Pardon me,
they got a bull hole without sacrificing sleep quality. This
chronotype gets its name because dolphins in the wild remain
alert while sleeping to evade predators. People with this chronotype
tend to be sensitive to light and noise while they
sleep that's me for sure, and prone to fragmented sleep patterns.
(26:48):
Many are considered insomniacs. However, dolphins have a strong productivity
window between ten am and two pm.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I'm a dolphin. You're sensitive to light, for sleeping.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, I need, you know, like a pillow over my head,
or eye shades or white noise. I used to do earplugs,
but now I just use my phone for the noise.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, I use a fan.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
I could lay down on the floor right here and
go to sleep right now, and you guys could keep
doing the show with the lights on and the noise,
and I'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And clearly mocking you while we did it.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
And then you get a magic marker and draw things
on my face. Oh, of course we do. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Do you want to hear some behavioral protocols to help
you optimize sleep and quality and duration? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Please? Morning sunlight exposure is good. It's oh, it's great.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Get outside within thirty to sixty minutes of waking up
to view natural sunlight for five to twenty minutes longer
on cloudy days.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Blah blah blah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Sets your circadian rhythm by triggering cortisole release and suppressing melatonin.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, my dad naturally has always lived that way. Limit
bright light at night. Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Similar note consistent sleep schedule. We all know that, right,
It's all about your circadian rhythms.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, man, I don't know between I don't know having
kids that consistent life.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
The sleep schedule has always been hard.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
But yeah, let's see there are a few more. They're
great afterward from our friends at Prize Picks mez ball
season has begun. The basketball players are starting to play
like they mean it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Great time to get into Prize Picks.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
You see, all you do is pick more or less
on at least two player stat projections for a shot
to win. Up with two a thousand times your cash,
and yes, your lineup can combine different sports.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
This is going to be my new hack.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Now I figure out if Lebron is like a lion
or a dolphin sleeper? Right, they got an afternoon game.
Although that's what I'll do. Turn your sports opinions into
money when you download the Prize Picks app. And again
with the basketball season really getting in the playoff push
and all that sort of stuff, and then you got
a whole new sport, baseball. There's plenty plenty out there
to think about.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Its super easy to use to and fund. Download the
Prize Picks app today used the code Armstrong. You get
fifty bucks instantly after you play just a five dollars lineup.
You don't need to win. They just give it to
you to have fun with after you play five dollars again,
it's prize picks. The coat is armstrong. Prize picks. Run
your game.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
The one thing I still have never heard anybody address
around sleep and some people nap and some people don't.
I'm a napper, or just like I'm built to nap.
I don't get to nap that often, but I'm built
for it. And I can just fall right asleep and
it doesn't matter how much screen time I got, or
eating or whatever, all the things that they claim ruin
your sleep. I'll sleep like the dead if it's one
(29:29):
o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
So why what is that? I don't know. I've never
heard anybody address that. Maybe you're a dolphin.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Temperature control keep the bedroom cool to facilitate the natural
drop and core body temperature needed for sleep. I hate
sleeping if it's hot, Oh, colder the better, Yeah, worm
bad on a cold atmosphere is the best thing I.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Want to hear. The most disturbing thing I know about
Joe Katie.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Oh lord, he sleeps with socks on what I know,
like a psychopath.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well that's fair.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Oh, I would go I would lose. I would. I
would give you the nuclear codes or whatever you need.
Better socks would I would? I would give you any
information you want to get these socks off.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Me so I can go to sleep. Oh no, keeps
your feet nice and warm. Oh, the blankets are four
let's see.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
A warm bath or shower one to two hours before
bed can also help by causing a rapid cool down afterward,
signaling sleepiness.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's interesting.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Jumping on ice baths your fight or flight kicks in.
You're afraid you're gonna die, and then slip better.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Uh. Engage in physical activity during the day, ideally in
the morning or afternoon. Exercise raises body temperature and boosts alertness.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Don't do it before bed. Who exercises before bed? Really?
Stop it? You're a weirdo.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
You haven't hit a caffeine one yet. Don't drink caffeine
after whatever time?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Food timing and type. Finish eating two to three hours
before bed. Caffeine management. Limit caffeine in the morning, blah
blah blah, avoid it eight to ten hours before bed.
Caffeine blocks a deno zine jag a sleep promoting chemicals.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
So timing matters.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
I was talking to somebody about this the other day
who had this experience for the first time drinking coffee
late in the day. The feeling you get if you're
caffeinated when you're trying to sleep, your legs it's like
you can't. I can't get my legs to stay still
if I've drank caffeine doo late in the day. Oh boy,
it's just such an uncomfortable, restless leg syndrome, such a
horrible feeling.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Alcohol avoidance, get me shut up, paunch and shut up.
Minimize or avoid alcohol, especially close to bedtime. It does
affect your ram sleep, leading to poor arrests. Blah blah.
On the other hand, my problems, what problems, I don't
remember them. Have a wine down routine, and how to
handle wake up. If you wake up at night and
can't fall asleep within twenty to twenty five minutes, get
(31:41):
out of bed and do a relaxing activity like reading
with dim light to avoid associating your bed with wakefulness.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Just don't believe that almost that would have been funny.
It was close. Good catch.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
You don't believe that this is science, you really, I'm
awake now, socks of science.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
You associate your bed with sleeping, so don't do other
things in your bed because your brain will think where.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I don't believe that at all.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
It's like last night, I woke up three times in
exactly an hour between each.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm not gonna get up and go do something. Yeah, well,
deny science, then go ahead. Gave more of the way.
So did the NCAA Women's go all four number one seeds?
Also don't know that four teams all right?
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Number one ranke during the season. Who wins the NCAA
Women's basketball national title. I don't know if those are
separate questions or not. Huh topics, But I've seen so
many news outlets trying to jam in lots of women's
Final four stuff, NWNBA stuff to try to, you know,
to be fair and equity, and I just don't think
(32:50):
there's an audience for it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Not the w NBA so much, but the women's NCAA
tournament was higher ratings last year because of Caitlin Clark
than the men's.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I watched South Carolina Duke the other day, the gals game,
and it was I was on an airplane, so it
was kind of captive, but it was a really good
game entertaining anyway, So I wanted to just touch on
this again real briefly. The president reforming the Smithsonian Institution
are trying to because it's so damned woke, and it's
(33:24):
worth reviewing the Museum of the American Latinos first exhibition
it hasn't actually opened yet.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
So there's the other part of it is, when I
was searching which museums were open, a whole bunch of
identity politics museums now that I didn't even know exist.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Right well, it's on view in the American History Museum
right now until the American Latino Museums, no new home
is finished. All of this is ridiculous. Every ethnicity gets
their own museum. That's not the idea of this country.
It's already happened, I know. But anyway, the their first
exhibition present day was so conceited, dumb, pious, dopey and deceitful.
(34:08):
I'm quoting who is this, Brian Allen? And I remember
reading about this at the time that even Latino people
were like, this is awful. It portrays us as just poor,
pathetic victims. And so the funding was threatened to be yanked,
and everybody hated it. It was so woke, which in
(34:31):
retrospect should have been a message that hey, the woke
crowd is losing latinos because they were House Appropriations Committee
voted to defund the museum. Understanding it present day is
a taste of things to come.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
I was looking through a bunch of therapists the other
day for a family member and reading all the little
bios of these different therapists. One thing that COVID brought
us that good is so many people normalized zoom therapy,
so it like opens up the whole mostly state because
(35:08):
you have to be state licensed, but anyway, you're not
just relegated to your own town anymore.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Any who.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
I was looking through all these little blurbs and the
number of them that would mention latinx oh, and I'm like, okay,
you're out.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Immedia, yes, one hundred percent. Now are you at this
point not aware that that's a joke?
Speaker 4 (35:26):
So one more thing I want to squeeze In Trump administration,
the Executive Orders cited the horrifying twenty twenty talking about
race portal in talking about how they're going to reign
in the Smithsonian that anchors the youth education program at
the Museum of African American History and Culture.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
This is what they teach youth.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
In a section called Aspects and Assumptions of White Culture,
the museum said that whiteness bad includes objectivity, rational, linear thinking,
along with self reliance, independence, hard work is the key
to success, planning for the future, respect for the law
and property, good grammar, marriage, and most of all, bland food.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
What that was in the museum.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yes, that was the center of their youth education at
the Museum of African American History and Professional Museum. Yes,
that is incredible, hard work, independence, planning for the future.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Are white supremacy and they're bad?
Speaker 6 (36:19):
That is crazy. Do you miss a segment or hour?
