Our Hippopotamuses Are Shrinking?!

This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm strong and getty. And now, here's I'm strong and getty. I'm strong and getty. I broke up with my iPhone for two weeks and fooled around with an old school flip phone, but this forces friction into your life. It takes away all that ease. It was really excruciating at first, but then we went back and the brain test were really staggering. Even the experts are surprised by the difference. Your hippocampus, the part of your brain that creates memories, shrinking because we use Google Maps. We don't navigate the world the way our ancestors did. Our focus has gone from about two and a half minutes. People could focus on something your 2000 or so. Now it's around 47 seconds. Well, our hippopotamuses are shrinking. That's correct. Yeah. Lack of water to the Nile. That's a bill. We're really interesting story. So what was the last stat they have? I'm sorry, Katie. What was the last stat they had there about our attention span? I obviously I couldn't pay attention. Oh, my God, the irony police have been alerted. Jack couldn't pay attention long enough to a story about attention span. Well, I was thinking about my hippopotamus joke. He put up on hippopotamus. Oh, boy. The the average attention span is shrunk from two and a half minutes to 47 seconds. I'm surprised it's as long as that. Yeah, I know that the shrinking hippocampus stuff, I've become convinced of that. In fact, I remember that study made a hell of an impression on me that cabbies who tended who knew the city and didn't use navigation systems showed markedly less Alzheimer's disease, dementia in general, than then cabbies who didn't in a big study. I know some of that doesn't surprise me, but I know somebody. Remember our old producer, Dominic, evil, evil Dominic, who's now dead. Good. I used to like Trump with the. Who's that? He said, even glad he's dead. Yeah, he said that about Robert Mueller. Oh, that's right. Yeah. But I am glad Dominic's dead. But our Google it, you'll agree if you look into it. But he used GPS to get to work and he lived not exaggerating like three blocks from the radio station. Correct. And he used GPS every single day to get to work and to get back home for a few years. And I thought that was extraordinary. And I just found out to you that somebody I know really, really well. I won't say who. It was shocking to me. Uses it for everything in their own town where they've lived for years, going places they've gone hundreds of times. They use it. And I just wonder about our shrinking brains or, you know, where the hippos go to class, hippocampus. Yes. Yes. Very wide sidewalks or whatever is going on there. Yes, Katie. So there have been a few times where I will be going somewhere where I absolutely know how to get there, but I'll turn on ways just to check traffic. Was that why he was using it? Or was it? That's not that's not what's happening in this particular. Because he was showing up to work at four o'clock in the morning. Yeah, three blocks. Or this or this person I know who I will not name. That's not that's not the reason they're doing it to check traffic. Wow. OK. Oh, yeah. So I wonder about that. Wow. Bad for your brain. You got to use your brain. Use it or lose it. Well, I don't know very many people or I haven't heard from very many people who use self driving all the time like I do. I use it every single day. I thought I I thought it was pointless. Now I use it every single day. And I drove my regular truck, my Ford F-250 diesel yesterday to go pick something up. And it seemed so ponderous to have to pay attention and drive. Oh, wow. I know how crazy is that? How crazy is that? Just seemed like, wow, I got to pay it. I got to watch the road the entire way. Can't check my emails or whatever. It's it's changing our brains. You're going to hear more about that as more people get self driving. It's it's changing our brains. Oh, not good. And these are among the first studies I've heard looking into this phenomenon. I think it will be more and more. And the science will be more and more settled. I hope I haven't ruined my brain by the time. You know, we all hear this stuff. But yeah, that that will be conventional wisdom soon. That you don't rely on the damn thing for something you could use your brain for instead. I mean, it'd be like me having a robot. And every time I had to lift something more than 10 pounds, I'd say, Joe, but Joe, but please lift this for me. I can't be troubled. What do you think they would do to my arms? Sit there with your little skinny little Timothy shallow my arms hanging at your side. Right. While a robot puts food in your mouth. Yes, that's the ultimate, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. I'll speak in a smart phones. I was reading another piece about how the Democrats, I thought they'd stop doing this, but apparently they've doubled down on their let's use the F word a lot to show how earthy and regular guy we all are. And how angry we are. Exactly. So there's been more of that. But here's my favorite one. Nevada Democratic Congresswoman Susie Lee, who calls herself America's number one most bipartisan member of Congress. That's how she characterizes herself. I like bipartisanship. That's fine. She wrote this in a 1 a.m. social media post about Trump's trip to the Supreme Court on the birthright citizenship, quote, so effing effed up. I'll pray they eff him to his face. Sorry, I say eff a lot these days, but she just spelled it out, obviously. Was that four so far? Yes, at 1 a.m. Lee deleted the post, but defended it in a 10 a.m. follow up saying my nerve was touched by the attacks on our Constitution and its separation of powers. I think you're a little drunky drunk. I was going to say, it sounds like your nerves were touched by vodka. You're the Katie's the winner. Katie wins. Katie wins the staff joke of the day. Well done, Katie. Congratulations. We'll be ordering a plaque on Amazon. It will come with a misprint. We'll vow to return it and then never get around to it. So let's be realistic. God, I do that way too much. She had a stack of things to return and I ended up taking them to good. Well, I was like, I'm never going to do this. Right. Let's be realistic. Or the 30 days or 60 days or 90 days or whatever passes. And I think, geez, what a waste of money. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of brainpower, maybe this is the time to get to this. If I were a better person, I would not feel so delighted and smug about this. But I'm not. I'm not that person. I'm a bad person. The headline is Harvard's push to cap A grades has students howling in protest. We'll tell you about that in a moment. After a word from our friends, it's simply safe. It's supposed to be so blank and smart. Go out and get an A. Anyway, title bastard. Simply safe home security is the best. It is the best. It is also very affordable. And it is also intent on earning your business every single day. No long term contracts. That's how good simply safe is. Haven't mentioned this for a while because I've had my simply safe system for a long time. It's super easy to customize a system that's right for your home online. The number of doors, windows, the yacht and everything like that. It's simply safe.com ships your door in a few days. And then with app guided setup and no drilling required, you can install an army system in under an hour. There's no need to wait around for a technician appointment next week. You have this going right after it shows up at your door. Over five million people trust simply safe every day. A number of publications have said it's the best home security system of this year. Right now, you good people can get 50% off your new simply safe system. It's simply safe.com slash Armstrong. That's simply safe.com slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe. So I remember when they were contemplating this and there are a howls of pain and anguish from the poor little rich kids and alleged geniuses of Harvard. The fact that for years, Harvard has been handing out A's like their participation trophies. Well, this is article include those numbers we mentioned a couple of weeks ago. How much I changed from the early 2000s. I mean, it's just amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. They want to cap the number of A's per course at 20% plus an additional four A's to account for smaller courses with more variability. Those are like your A's to be named later. I don't know if you need them. It comes after a report released in the fall that found that 60% of grades were A's in all classes. Last school here, 60%. That's up from 25% in 2005, 2006. In the last, mind the 1980s. Right. In the last two decades, they went from a quarter of the people to get A's to the majority easily get A's. Solid majority. Yes. I mean, that is ridiculous. It is mockable. Well, I imagine how humiliating. I mean, you can't blame the kids, but imagine how if you're a straight A student at Harvard, you think you've got the world by the tail. Man, I'm going to walk out of here and just run the world. I'm a straight A student in friggin Harvard. Well, and again, as much as I would like to smugly judge the kids and don't worry, folks, I will, they did not raise themselves. They did not decide that everybody should get a trophy. This is the flowering of the everybody gets a trophy generations. Well, what drives this? I know. So they're saying, I'm sorry to complete the thought. They're saying, whoa, I've got nothing but A's my entire school career. It's kind of the default. If you don't get an A, that's like getting a D. Now you're changing the rules on me now that I'm an undergrad. And they're there. They got to suck it up. But it's not like they have no point. No. Well, they they grow up in schools where they hand out A's like crazy. You know, great school and high school. They give out A's similar numbers, I would guess. Sure. Yeah. Oh, you put in some effort. You do a pretty good job like you fulfill the minimum requirements and you'll get an A. Well, if that has been what you've been taught your whole life. Right. Right. The teacher swinging their Chardonnay out of their disguised cup after a day of school. I don't think I don't want to. I don't know. I guarantee it. I don't want to argue with some parent over why their genius got a base. Good. I'm giving them a. But so what drives it? Is it the whole you get a better rating as a teacher thing or that's a lot of it? Yeah, parents complain. I remember back in my day, which was not the 1930s. We were lucky to be at a quote unquote elite university. Make no mistake. I wasn't in the program that made my university elite at all. But it was in a university. We were glad to be there and hung on for dear life to stay there. Now they're customers. They're like customers at an expensive resort. And so they're treated as such. Now, I'm going to make a joke that most Harvard kids wouldn't get because they're so dopey, thanks to the great inflation. About half of Harvard undergrad students are against this change. Ninety four percent. Ninety four percent oppose the policy to cap A's. You got to be kidding. No. So almost all the students think now they should they should hand out 60 percent A's. What? Martin Pookner, an English professor, who probably teaches all day about decolonizing the deconstruction of white supremacist literature. He supports the cap because the corrosive effects of great inflation. You're right. People laugh when they hear you have a college diploma. Anyway, he said, this is the mildest measure imaginable. I don't doubt it. And they're 94 percent against it. Wow. Interestingly, final point. This other Harvard psych professor, a member of the committee behind the proposal, likens it, starting college with a new car and trying to go four years without a scratch. You're not going to take it off-road. You're not going to do anything interesting with it, he said. Well, this guy's worthy of teaching at Harvard. The proposal wouldn't limit A minus's only A's. The grading proposal committee said this will make A minus is more common and therefore less taboo. We want to liberate students from the tyranny of the 4.0 and make them free to explore. Yeah, that's true. Then he says something that ought to earn him a punch in the stomach. We want to put the us back in A minus. First, he makes this great point that he says that. Come on, let's see. Let's see. Did that knowing how jivey that is. He might have. But I love that point. Let the kids try something they might not be great at. That's what a university education is supposed to be. Well said, sir. Well said. I'm sure there is pressure to take classes. You know, you're going to get a gain. And of course, four point oh, yeah. NBA playoffs may have changed with an injury last night. Briefly touch on that. Lots of stuff on the way, sir. I mean, your funniest joke, Michael, this is going to be on you if I don't laugh. Oh, wow. That's just successfully launched a historic ten day mission around the moon. But this is true. Get this shortly after launch, the toilet aboard the Artemis two rocket broke. Now, it's something went from a billion dollar rocket to a carnival cruise in space. Maybe I chuckled. You just have to jiggle the handle. It's amazing how much that can fix. You just got to jiggle the handle of the you're a hard chuckle. Oh, yeah. Wow. Oh. NBA playoffs may have changed. They start here pretty soon. There's only a couple of games left. Luca Donchik MVP candidate for the Lakers went down with an injury last night and looked bad hamstring, which those not heal fast. And that would, yeah, that might end the Lakers run. Might be the end of LeBron's career. Hamstring is the classic. I think I'm ready to go coach, then re-injure it again. Injury. Yeah. Always happens. Doesn't seem to be any way to hurry those up either. Oh, no, it's a big old grisly, massive muscle. Trust me, mine are like a horses. I mean, really, really impressed. Anyway, I know somebody the other day and she's probably she's probably like 40. She just like stepping off a stair, ruptured her Achilles. Oh, my God. And that's supposed to be a bad one. That's what's really painful. It takes a long time to heal. I've done it. Although now they got those cool things you put you with the wheels on them and you just bend your leg and put your knee on it and you can just wheel yourself around. I see those a lot of places. That looks kind of hell of a lot better than crutches, which are awful. Coming up, another kicking for Gavin Newsom. The great champion of LGBTQI, MIA, LBG, plus minus over the power of three, right. He is surprisingly, quote unquote, homophobic online. What? And I never use the term homophobic. If it were anybody not a progressive, saying the things his account says online, the gay rights people would be up in arms. So quickly, we can look at the latest polling on the war. People ain't digging it and it's going the wrong direction. Of course, with endless negative news coverage. I don't know why you'd be surprised about that. Roughly two thirds of Americans now disapprove of the U.S. decision to take military action in Iran. I hate even asking this question. What's the take been on TicToc? Where so many people get their news? Yeah, well, I know what they're going to be relentlessly negative because it's sponsored by the Communist Chinese on mainstream media. So the polling at the end of February, 31% strongly disapprove of us. Doing what we're doing in Iran. It is now 43%. In one month, it went up 12 points for strongly disapprove. Does Trump have a clear plan for ending the war? Hasn't moved a lot, but it has gone up to now a full two thirds. 67% says does not have a clear plan for handling the situation in Iran. So of course, if you again, if you take in media, any of the mainstream media, they repeat that all day long every day. Why would you think anything different? Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah, troubling. I would, you know, suggest to people that the the administration, the military have a set of plans that they will implement depending on how the plans progress. That's the nature of war. But I would, I would admit this as a citizen. I don't feel like we've been presented with a clear plan. Right. But I'm still at the, if things would have to go really, really, really bad before I would get to the, we shouldn't have done this point. Yeah. Since it was so awful and it was never going to be easier to try to do something about it. So in addition to the Gavin Newsom thing, what does queer mean in LGBTQ? A great explanation from a gay fella. You'll enjoy this. CBS News is first to report the arrest today of a married couple in Southern California accused of ripping off Medicare for nearly seven and a half million dollars through a series of fraudulent hospice claims. Over 700 hospices in Los Angeles County alone have read flags for fraud, according to our investigative team. In this particular case, the flags included a five year survival rate of 97% high for what is supposed to be end of life care. The FBI says additional arrests are expected. Oh my God. Either that or like take your loved one there because obviously they've been touched by God. On this good Friday, we have a new savior and they're at all the different hospices in LA County because they can keep you alive for five years or more when you're supposedly in your final days of life, which is usually what hospice carries for 90, what do you say 97% whatever it was. Yeah. People who stayed there for more than five years. Oh my God. 700 hospice facilities have a red flag by CBS's standards, which are probably more generous than mine. And here's where I make you want to punch yourself in the face or somebody and your neighbor is with next time your neighbor hears we need to raise taxes to provide more care for the elderly. They'll say, Oh yeah, that's the way we should raise taxes. Yeah. The rich should pay their fair share. Anyway, I know, I know, and it's laughable. And, and, you know, it's worth pointing out that it was, you know, right wingy, independent online types who really broke this story. And then Fox News jumped on it. I remember we featured William Lange, Ness's terrific report. And now CBS news is on it saying, Oh, this is outrageous. The most interesting thing. And then I'll shut up on this good Friday. Cause we talk about this all the time. The most interesting thing is that you can do endless stories about taxpayer money being stolen from them. And, and nobody gets worked up enough. It just, it just doesn't land. We all just, and for whatever reason, I don't know if we just feel like it's too big a mountain to climb or how would I, or even organize to do anything about it or what, but it just, we just put up with it. We just put up with it. Yeah. Yeah. That's part of it. I think there's a discouragement that sets in two because I'll skip the like description of it, but the reality of it is if you were to go to Washington, DC having like, I don't know, dropped aerosolized truth serum on the entire thing from helicopters. And you got the president and like the leader of the Senate and the speaker of the house together. You said, dudes, you're wasting all of this money. I mean, there's scams and just it's insane. And you're bilking the taxpayers and we're pissed off, but having had that truth serum, they'd all look at you and say, everybody's here. Everybody you see all these buildings. Look at those buildings. Okay. All of us are in on it. Every single one of us. So hold your little demonstration and wave your little placard and have fun. That's what they would say. You're right about government is a for profit enterprise. It's like a, it's like the Clinton foundation. It's a not for profit. The profit is the pay. The profit is siphoning money to your cronies and getting favors and board positions and everything in return. That's the scam. Right. And you just, and it's so easy to play upon people's emotions or at least, you know, you only have to have a half of people's emotions who aren't paying attention. I'll bet at some point during the whole doge cuts, I'll bet at some point there was a headline and he's even looking at cutting funding for hospice care. Can you imagine anything more? I'll bet you're right. I'll bet there's a headline like that out there somewhere in 97% of hospices. People stay there more than five years. That's some good hospice care, man. I'm telling you, yeah. This is that the mother Teresa must be the nurse there or something touching their foreheads with divine intervention. Anyway, uh, let's see. Well, skip what we're going to do. I want to get right to this cause I want to make sure we have time. Uh, I love bashing Gavin Newsom. Um, because I think he would be a miserable, horrible president and he would ruin the entire country as he and his party have ruined, uh, California to some extent anyway is still a wonderful place, but, um, that this one just can't run the weather that's right or the scenery uh... although you could cover the scenery with junkies uh... defecating and shooting up and and and uh... costing passers by so you can really like so many seek keep track of how many times we've used a word or variant of defecate today and yesterday feel like it's like in the dozens well and perhaps grade it on how appropriate it was in that particular moment and which one of us may have abused it if we're going to start keeping score about eighteen and a c-minus also so that's a little bit of a man that's going to be a gratuitous judging on this also yes the uh... level of gratuity exactly hundred percent there you go now you become part of the solution so uh... this is uh... you know this is an example of lefty media hypocrisy obviously but it's just odd so uh... gav gav of uh... ready or not here it comes about gay marriage i don't care what the law is because i'm on the right side of history the governor california has a staff paid to hurl gay insults online at political opponents said in another way the actual strategy of the democratic leader one of the most uh... liberal states in america's to have young employees poll publicly post extremely offensive anti-gay jokes i like this line well all it's doing is making new some look like an lgb tq i a whole uh... uh... so i'm i'm not following here what will i like i haven't gotten to the example is yet okay governor homophobe homophobe doesn't seem to mind trampling on the rainbow flag uh... blambla crudely suggesting his critics are gay or mocking gay conservatives out gay conservatives has become one of his teams go to tactics last month responding to a clip of conservative benny johnson on fox news speaking about the alleged fraud in california the did the x account the smartly debate the issue no it may crack about a gay hookup app of course quote we got a call from grinder after this and said your team was their biggest users yeah i remember that and we were flummoxed by it at the time uh... let's see when johnson said he was coming to investigate the golden state will make sure grinder servers are ready they replied it they're i remember we were so we're confused at the time about that because is benny johnson don't be gay or the hiding being gay and even if he was why is that the problem is a very pretty man i don't know that same month when treasury secretary scott percent openly gay highest gay uh... you know cabinet member ever in the trump administration that uh... as so many gay people were convinced that the trump's gonna try to take away your rights i mean my god anyway uh... when he traveled to the world economic forum in davos the governor's press office account posted scott percent flew across the ocean a star in the real housewives of davos and can't stop talking about how hot he thinks uh... uh... gavin newsom's uh... gavos daddy newsom is pathetic there are a couple of other examples too do you have any idea why this is i i i wrote maybe is young staff is part of that that's gay or i don't generation i don't know i really don't know like i said i just think it's odd uh... but much more important than this uh... i appreciate this uh... editorial by ben apple who's uh... the author of a really intriguing sounding books sys white gay the making of a gender heretic and i appreciate it partly because just well-written and and really honest but because it makes a point i've been trying desperately to make and it it it will it disturbs me how few people get this and how little it's talked about he writes that when he was twenty nine in twenty twelve he was uh... a big activist for gay marriage in maryland where he lived um... and that november his home state became one of the first illegalized same-sex marriage by popular vote he was euphoric and he wanted to keep that feeling going he wanted to continue to crusade for good causes uh... and he he got married and he admitted to his husband that i you haven't been listening anyway um... that he felt stalled he says if i wanted to do serious work on behalf of gay people and needed more than slogans and passion i need an edit an education so he went back to school he got accepted to columbia university school of general studies i arrived at columbia in my thirties with the earnestness of a convert enrolled in courses like u.s lesbian and gay history and musketeam muslim masculinities absorbing everything my strut instructors had to say about queerness until i learned what they actually meant by the term before columbia i would have dismissed right wing complaints about queer post-colonial critical race or other critical theories as culture war hysteria i soon came to understand that in ivy league humanities classrooms critical theories aren't fringe ideas they are foundational ideologies with real world political ambitions this is what i'm always talking about with the postmodernist neo-marx is trying to take over institutions he writes critical theory treats moral norms scientific categories that even common sense as product of power it tells us that the only reason we believe certain things are true is because it serves the interest of dominant groups for us to believe them it follows that liberation requires dismantling inherited forms of knowledge queer theory applies this approach to sexuality by framing sexual identity as a site of resistance one of the earliest readings i encountered was by the theorist david helper in who defined queer as quote whatever is it odds with the normal the legitimate the dominant that's what queer means i'm fighting against the man and that's why i'm going to depart from the text a little bit that's why so many middle school kids and high school kids are so strongly encouraged to embrace one of the 57 uh so-called genders i'm demi this or peter pan that or whatever get them to identify with queer in whatever form these often presexual kids want to get them on the side of i'm queer and then to get back to the screen by the writer then you you teach them that to be queer means to be whatever is it odds with the normal the legitimate the dominant and embrace all the critical theory stuff and then he goes on unless you have a comment at this point jack um just wondering where we would be if james lindsay hadn't like started digging into this no he's so good yeah that's a great question well then he he he points out that queer was a slur against gay people and it was reclaimed quote unquote in the 80s by gay activists as a synonym for gay saying you can't hurt people me by calling me queer i'm gonna call me queer most gay and lesbian americans think what minorities of longsought safety dignity stable relationships etc um in queer politics by contrast it encourages deviation from social norms its definition of queer isn't that different from argy bunkers seen through this lens contemporary phenomena that appear baffling begin to make sense the members of queers for palestine know that hamas would imprison or execute them for their sexuality but they share a common enemy in israel and america liberal democracy capitalism national borders enlightenment notations of truth are the primary enemy sexual politics is merely one front in a much broader civilizational study and then he talks about how he grew uneasy with this when he realized what was actually happening he said i was gay i had faced discrimination i had fought for my rights but now that gay rights had become lgbtq rights i found myself forced teamed with a lot of people whose values were nothing like mine i didn't experience my life as a rebellion against reality i didn't want to be an identity insurgent i wanted to participate in the world as a normal person the most important thing i learned at columbia was this i am gay but i am not queer my sexuality doesn't obligate me to embrace a particular ideology or or reject the moral inheritance of the society that made my life possible progress happens by acknowledging shared human values and working within our reality rather than declaring war on it that is as they say these days ben apple for the win well written ben yeah that's pretty good that's great that my friends is what's happening it's not some sort of right wingy joe getty uh fear or fantasy for the millionth time these people wrote books they said exactly what they wanted to do their names are on the spine they're in your library what you are watching is what he just described it's the capture of institutions by a radical political ideology if you ever want to learn more about this find some of james lindsay's james lindsay's youtube videos it will blow your mind it'll change the way you look at the world if you like books like i do his uh book with helen pluck rose cynical theories is absolutely perfect so we heard from the astronauts yesterday and we can check in on the moon mission coming up among other things stay here armstrong and getty integrity good engine good control and it's go for the moon for nearly six minutes iran's main engine fired with six thousand pounds of thrust to give the capsule a 900 mile an hour boost sending it and its four astronauts on a path around the moon humanity has once again shown what we are capable of the trans lunar injection burn also sets up iran's return to earth mission control can make small adjustments to the course to set it up for reentry i need a little more show biz out of that guy humanity is once again demonstrated what we are capable of here's a little more on the moon report we all wanted to give a shout out to our families first because we are pretty far from earth and we have not gotten to say hi to them yet overnight the Artemis crew spoke to the media from space about the journey so far having just experienced incredible views of planet earth and seeing the entire planet out the window in one pain knowing that we're about to have some similar views of the moon in that same way is definitely getting me more excited for it we're just getting started you know we've worked really hard and uh we have a lot of mission left ahead of us one of the reasons i wanted to play that is so you can hear how incredibly clear the conversation is that's funny i was about to say other than a little background hiss it sounds like they're in the same room right with a spaceship hurtling toward the moon so i have a feeling it's what's going to be way different from this than a half a century ago is they're going to be like hovering around the moon and having a conversation with toni de coppola whoever the heck and with just unbelievable hd pictures and it's going to be really cool i hope they can spare an hour or so to like record stuff to be used in classrooms no yeah let's let's fire kids up about science and space exploration of course i know you're really wondering off our moon yeah china i know you're wondering what kind of salad they're eating we have that info the four astronauts on the orion spacecraft which they have named integrity woke up thursday to the song sleepyhead the crew started their second day after sleeping in four hour shifts and exercising on a flywheel device to do squats deadlifts and rowing and they're settling into an extensive food menu that includes coffee smoothies quiche beef brisket even mango salad and couscous with nuts couscous with nuts you say um coffee kind of surprised by that hmm i don't know why i wouldn't think you know if you if you if you're a coffee person you need the stimulant and you get a little cranky if you don't get the right amount or too much or i just wouldn't think you'd want to be messing with the body like that even if i'm in space a little cup of java to start the day come on now oh that's part of waking up right look out the window first thing in the morning after your four hours of sleep same
