Summary

Hosts discuss Helen Keller's legacy and accomplishments, questioning whether her extensive achievements were solely her own work or heavily influenced by her teacher Ann Sullivan. The episode also covers news topics including Ted Turner's death, Hantavirus on a cruise ship, and a scientific study proposal on optimal blood alcohol concentration for performance.

Insights
  • Helen Keller's accomplishments may have been significantly amplified through media manipulation and handler involvement rather than independent achievement, raising questions about historical narrative accuracy
  • The plagiarism incident and writing style changes suggest potential ghostwriting by Ann Sullivan, though this remains speculative without definitive evidence
  • Sensory deprivation (complete blindness and deafness) makes it neurologically implausible for someone to independently describe colors, write flowing prose, and master multiple languages without substantial external assistance
  • Historical figures' legacies are often embellished posthumously, making it difficult to separate verified accomplishments from propaganda and marketing narratives
  • The BAC performance study concept reveals interest in quantifying the relationship between alcohol consumption and cognitive/motor skill performance, with potential applications beyond recreation

I'm very happy to be back in the studio. Just got off an airplane, did the red eye, finally got some sleep on a red eye. First time that's ever happened. There's only like three hours of sleep, but I've never been able to sleep on a plane before. So maybe I'm just getting anything. What's that? Did you take anything? Nope, didn't take anything. Really? Just a good old fashioned American sleep. Just two beers. I mean, you took some. Couple beers, just a couple of small beers. Wait, you drunk beer on a plane and red eye? No, no, I had a couple beers before I got on the plane. Oh, I was like that. That might be a problem. I might have to conversation. That's that's that's a problem. What, drink beer on a plane? And you on a red eye. Yeah, probably. Yeah, unless it's like at the very start of it, you have one beer. Well, you left at what midnight? I left at one. So yeah, that probably would be a problem if you start drinking beer at 1 a.m. The guy next to me had, I want to say, two or three scotches on this flight. Good for him. He was an older guy. But he had had one beer before I went on stage at the Netflix's joke live show that we did in LA. And then I had one drink while I was on stage. And then that was enough to like knock the edge off and send me a lot of your fans and, you know, and us coworkers that know exactly why why you were there, what you were doing. Expend it to those that don't because, you know, yeah, some of some of them might not. It was it was we all we all do though. We all know exactly. It was a great time. So we went to Las Vegas for Max's bachelor party. And then from Vegas, we went to Los Angeles for a live show at the Netflix's joke comedy festival at the YouTube theater. And it was it was a good time. It was like a two and a half hour live show. The second time that part of my take has ever done a live show. And so it was it was fun. It was filled with like some guests that we know that were out in LA. So we had Jerry O'Connell, his lovely supermodel wife, Rebecca Romain. She was there. She came out on stage and she gave us a hug. She kissed my cheek. No big deal. She's very funny. Very nice lady. And then we had Blake Griffin came out as well. Nice. And Ryan Rassillo. So it was a it was a good show. Kind of like a 10 year anniversary show that we decided to do. So it was fun. I don't know that we're going to do too many more live shows because we don't really like to travel that much when we don't have to. But it was it was really cool, very fun experience. And then hopped on the red eye, flew back here because I wanted to I wanted to sit with you guys and I wanted to I wanted to talk about Helen Keller. So it's good to be back and and Big T. Hope you had a good bachelor party. I hope you enjoyed it. I listened to some of the show, meaning I listened to some of the clips. But I didn't have time to actually listen to the show. Do you see what the Rockies are doing? So what are the Rockies doing? No. Well, I mean, we don't want to we don't want to go through the whole thing again. But there there's some interesting numbers coming up with the 50 50. Yeah. So I did. I saw that clip. Yeah, I didn't know if the Rockies had responded to you or made a public statement. But it sounds like you're like a bloodhound. You're on you're sniffing something. But they did you see they did it again on Monday? Did they same same prefix? It's it's not adding up. Yeah, I don't know. Something stinks to high heaven. We'll have to see. Dedication isn't born in the light of day. It's carved in the quiet hours before the world blinks awake. At Boris, said we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table. A slice of something special folded into every moment worth savoring because dedication means delivering only the very best. Boris had committed to craft since 1905. Right off the bat today, RIP Ted Turner. Rest in peace. It just just came across right before we started taping Ted Turner media mogul, I think probably the very definition of a mogul, right? 1000 percent trying to find a five of braves out over here. He's a billionaire. He he owned the Atlanta Braves. He founded Turner Broadcasting. So we're talking, you know, TNT, TBS. He founded CNN as well. He famously had a video ready to go in case the world was destroyed in case of nuclear war. It's the naval band playing nearer, my God, to the I believe. Yeah, it was ready to be broadcast just in case everything went to shit. They still have it. Do they? I think I think, yeah, if stuff ever goes down, I think that's what they use. That's what we'll be seeing. He lived a hell of a life. Incredible. Just just married, divorced three times, made more money than just about anybody, got into a bunch of feuds. I think he owns the world's largest herd of bison. Yeah, Ted's Montana Grill. We got to go tonight. Bowling Brook. What do you think Ted would eat? I think you got to get the bison burger. He owned, I don't know what the exact percentage is, some unreal percentage of the state of Montana. Yeah, it's like 15 percent or something. Crazy. So, yeah, RIP to Ted Turner. Turn the Atlanta Braves into a national brand. It does feel like the Braves are now a team of destiny. I mean, I'll agree with you. I don't want to. I don't in 2021, Hank Aaron passed away. Braves won the World Series. 2026, they come out with the TBS City Connects a couple weeks ago. Currently, what are they? Twenty six and 11 best record in baseball. Ted Turner, unfortunately passes away. Yeah, it does seem. The things could be aligning again. And what a wonderful story that would be for Mr. Turner, it would be a crazy story. Yeah, I I mean, what a that would be a great send off. Rest in peace, legend. You said Mary three times. I believe so. I know of Jane Fonda. Yep, right. Yep. I know Jane Fonda. I don't know the other ones. Jane Fonda. I don't know the other ones. People of note. I'm not sure. Or just just Ted's wives. I mean, I'm sure there were people of note, but I didn't know if they were otherwise famous. Ted Turner owns between 115 and 150,000 acres of land in Montana. Wow. That's I'm going to say that's too much land. You think? At the end, unless he's owning it for the purposes of like just not having anything else built on it. Well, that's where the the bison come from. OK. And that's that's why he started Ted's Montana Grill. He's like, I have all these bison. Yeah, I still don't think it's it's. No one person should own that much land. But if you're going to own that much land, I like the idea of buying it just to keep everybody else off it. Just have like completely untouched land. Like you're not going to build stuff on it. Not going to try to develop like a planned community, especially a place like Montana. I don't know how reliable this is. But land report dot com says he owns two million acres total wholly across the United States. Holy fuck, does he does he have any? He's got to have kids. I would imagine I haven't heard anything about his kids. Yes. So Turner ranches with approximately two million acres of personal and ranch land. Ted Turner is one of the largest individual landowners in North America. OK. Turner Enterprises also manages over 45,000 bison across the various Turner ranches. And it looks like they are in Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and South Dakota. Wow. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. So he's I guess only in America for Ted Turner. That's one guy you can say that about, right? So I mean, what's his net worth then? It's got nothing dead as of yesterday. He wrote, brother, it all goes back to the earth. Yes, kids own it. I'm sure kids. And I mean, we're going to have similar situation going on with the Murdoch family too soon. I just watched that documentary. Yeah. Juicy. It's literally just a succession. So these guys, Ted Turner and and Rupert Murdoch were like bitter rivals for a long time because they were both doing the same shit and they were just, you know, anytime you become that powerful and that rich, you have to have like a sworn enemy and they were just they were too similar to the point where they would like compete against each other. They hated each other. I think Ted Turner challenged Rupert Murdoch to a couple fist fights like some boxing matches and shit. And then they kind of realized, hey, let's just put all this all the squabble in the side. We can both do really well if we work together, if we just kind of stop being enemies. So I think they ended up getting along for the last like 15 years of Ted's life. But yeah, it was like him and him and Rupert were the two guys that controlled the media in the United States. And now it's just Rupert. I did want to touch on one thing. Mad Dog, you said it's like succession. Well, I guess succession is like the Murdochs. Yes, succession is based on. Well, I understand that. But watching the documentary, it is crazy how so many of the plot points in succession led to things happening in the family. Like succession happened and then things happened in the Murdoch family. Does that make sense? Yeah. And also, I think in that documentary, they said that people in the Murdoch family, they didn't realize that it was going to be based on them so much. Like they were surprised to see. Like, oh, that's us. Yeah. Or it was like they when they saw the episode of the father dying. Yeah, it was the father dying episode. They had they had not had a trust set up. Planned out what to do when Rupert died. Yeah, not a trust, a succession plan. Yeah. So even though that show was like about them and about the succession of the family, they still didn't know until they saw that episode. They're like, oh, shit, we should probably figure this out. Right. Because obviously Rupert Murdoch is still alive. So yeah, they got to kind of flash forward a little bit in a weird way by seeing that episode and seeing then, you know, what happens in the rest of that succession season. Yeah. And then it basically. That succession episode airing led to basically their family being. Torn apart is a is a dramatic way to put it. Yeah. Because it happened in real life to them. And it is crazy, but it didn't end the same way the show did. I will say that. Yeah. But no, the Murdochs are. Fascinating. Anyways. So yeah, what do you think? I was a Braves fan. What are your thoughts about old Ted? I mean, he's a legend. Change the game. He took over a struggling franchise and a. I mean, he bought the team in the 70s, right? Yeah, I want to say late 70s. Yeah. So like they were still pretty new in Atlanta. Atlanta wasn't known for, you know, sports at that time and turned it into one of the biggest franchises and professional sports that has fans all over the country because he put them on national TV every night. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, we're going to put we're going to put them on the most powerful thing that we have. And that's cable television. Like when I was in Denver, Friday night, it was probably 70 percent Braves fans. Yeah. And a lot of them that we talked to just lived there. They're like, yeah, we live out here. We've been watching them since the 80s. Yeah. It's like at the time cable TV was a joke. People are like, no one's going to watch your team if you hide them on cable. It's a new fangled thing that no one is going to pay attention to. Well, Ted was right. Plus, you got to do the Sanford and Sun reruns during Randall Ace, which is incredible. You know, my favorite thing he ever did. And I don't know how many people know this story. I think it was it was probably late seventies, like when he first bought the team, because I know he was really young. He the team started terribly. They lost like 20 games in a row or something. And he fired the manager. I believe he told him like, you're fired for a month. He was like, I'm going to figure out what's going on. And if I determine you can come back, then we'll figure it out. And he went, he literally walked downstairs to the clubhouse. It was like, I'm the manager now. And he managed the Atlanta Braves for one game. And then the next day, Major League Baseball called him was like, yeah, you can't do that. And so then he had to, I don't remember if he brought the original manager back or if he hired somebody else, but he he managed the Braves for one game. I didn't know that. Yeah. That's awesome. I think you should if you pay, I mean, now I don't know what he paid for the Atlanta Braves. I would do that. I would absolutely do that. Yeah. Now if you pay $3 billion for a baseball team, you should get to do whatever the hell you want. Mm hmm. I would absolutely. I would 100% do that just for like one day, one game, a meaningless game. Like maybe the second leg of a double header against the last place team. Fuck yeah, I'm managing that team. I paid a lot of money for that team. Ted Turner purchased the Atlanta Braves for $12 million in 1976. And it's probably worth, I'm going to guess I was four billion. I was going to say four and four and a half. Four billion. Pretty good. This says 3.3. And I think obviously if the Atlanta Braves go up for sale there, it's going to be a bidding war. I think it would go well above that. I think it might. Hey, it's Hannah Montoya. Abercrombie's new summer drop is our latest obsession. There's tons of colorful swim, flowy dresses, and they just released new linen blend matching sets. Everything feels so light and breathable. It's perfect for brunch or rooftop happy hours, just like you're on vacation. Shop Abercrombie in the app online and in stores. I think it might. Arian, do you have any comment regarding your Los Angeles Lakers? They lose game one to OK. They played yesterday? Yeah. Oh, OK. Wow. All right. All right. Yeah, I shot at 83 yesterday. That's your comment regarding the Lakers. I like that. Can we make a quote card about that? I shot an 83 yesterday. Arian Foster on the Los Angeles on his Los Angeles Lakers losing game one. Yeah. And it was the the course writing was 76. So it was a tough course. OK. All right. Yeah. We're good for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. From the tips. OK. Yeah. I mean, this this state keeps getting better and better. Tell me how they did, my brother. They laid on me. I do not know. They lost. I was unable to watch the I was unable to watch the fourth quarter because we were on stage for it. But the thunder just looked. I need I need three things. I need three things. I need one. What was the score? OK. What's two and three? I'll give me this. I'll give them to you when you give them to me. This is the third. 108 to 90. Oklahoma. 108 to 90. OK. That's that's pretty. That's pretty handy. OK. So how much points did Braun have? Oh, please. 27 points, 12 of 17 from the field. Negative six plus minus. That's efficient. I'm not mad at that. Third thing. How many flops did SJ have? I did see a clip of that. It seemed to be a lot. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I figured. How many free throws did SJ have? Got to throw me a fourth. He was. Oh, two of them. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Oh, two of three from the line. I suppose they're not calling them. They're letting them play. I did. In the clip, I saw there were several that went uncalled. Yeah. Yeah. No, I like that. I mean, you can tell he gone flop. Like that's. Listen, I respect all talent in the NBA. I I I preface all my basketball takes with this. They're the best basketball players in the world. Right. It's just some asterisks at a game. I'm not a fan of it. And I became less and less interested in the NBA as this era has. Commenced. It's it's it's what it is. But so when I watch SJ, I don't think I've ever seen him not flop multiple times in a game. So it's it's just something I'm not a fan of. I know the people I did. I whatever. Whatever, man, that's from a different era. It is what it is. Oh, man, yelling that class. That's me. He is good at foul baiting. I'll give him that. Like he's the best at it. I think he might be better than Harden. He's like Harden. Oh, yeah. Harden, I think was more. I think it was more creative. Like, I don't know that SGA would be able to do the shit that he does now without the vision of James Harden doing it before and kind of like unlocking that strategy. But I think that SGA has taken it and made it like an art form. You could have changed the course of NBA basketball, P.L.T. and you dropped the ball. You had a interview with the commissioner and you could have told him how to fix flopping or he's brought it up. I know how to fix flopping. Aaron, I did. Oh, shit, you did? You told him that? When we interviewed him a year ago. Yeah. You told him how to fix flopping. I said I said your idea. You know, oh, shit, I need to start watching you more, man. I said your idea. I said I said make it make the flops reviewable after the game, after the fact, and issue technical fouls and and fines if somebody flops. That's your idea, right? Well, that's part of it. The other part is you make it if you initiate the contact. So if you pump fake it, if you pump and somebody's in the air, they're now a defensive player. And if you if you initiate contact into that defensive player, it's an offensive foul that would eliminate this shit. I would be such a big basketball fan if this was not a part. But I just can't. It's fucking. But you're saying you could still legitimately like pump fake. And if a guy comes flying at you, that would still be a foul, right? Give me this scenario. Like, I mean, you pump fake on a three guy comes flying out at you and he felt like that could still be a foul. It's just if you're like jumping into him crazy. This is where OK, this is where there's a little gray area, right? There is nuance. And I think this part should be reviewable. Intent, if your intent as a as a shooter is to launch yourself into the defender, then yeah, the fouls on you. Because if you if you if you if you jump into a guy, I mean, if you if you pump and you jump in and in a guy is jumping into you, he has no he has no way to correct himself. Like that's it is what it is. If the intent is if I'm open air and we crash. Yeah, you can't you can't foul the shooter. But if your intent is to get him in the air to jump into him. No, because I mean, they review everything else. They review blocks, they review the text, they review everything. So if there's a genuine concern about not he jumped into me, let's review it. And move on. It will. I don't think it'll stop at wholesale. It's going to take a generation of kids thinking that shit is soft, which not trending in that direction. But it's going to take a generation of kids saying, I don't want to play that style of basketball that shit weak. Like I teach my kid my son, right? Do not do not fucking do I know you ground it. No trouble if you flop. You don't flop, dog. I don't play that shit. I don't care. I like that. Be the change. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't watch you more as a friend. I should I should be a part of my take. It's all right. You're busy. You're busy golfing. Tissue in 83 years. And it was a very tough course. And so back to back days, I went 79 and I went 83. Oh, it shouldn't have been 83. It really should have been like 86. Yeah. People have been though. I respect you for saying that most people, myself included, have said things like, yeah, it was a 91, but it should have been an 85. I mean, I'm just I'm realistic. People happen though, right? We're on. So it's me, a buddy of mine used to play for the Chargers. Clyde Drexler and another one of our good friends. So it's Clyde and my homeboy Reggie versus me and my other dude who used to play for Chargers, right? We have a 2v2 match, right? And the first first one to 10 has to take the other duo out on a steak dinner, wherever in the city they want. And it's this place that if we win, I'm going to take these motherfuckers to where it's like thousand dollar stakes on the bus they asked. But we down right now. We down by two. So we on a whole 18, we down one and we got to win this whole to tie. So I hooked my tee shot left. I got it back in play. I have a hundred. It's par five. I got 170 out, right? But it's over water. And I'm like, I got to go for it. A little bit of wind into me. So it was one, it was 165 declare 170 to the pin. I'm like, I can muscle a seven. I should have took a six. But in the back of the green is bunker, right? And I got a birdie, right? So I go for it, right? I come up short, hit the water. They celebrating, they like game over is what it is. So, you know, if you go into the hazard, you can drop on the line of where the pin is as far back as you want. So I took a little bit of a space, a drop in the fair where you could drop, it was all legal drop. So I'm shooting five. So I'm shooting five, shooting for par from like 132 out. Take a picture wedge. Again, I probably should have took a nine because I was into the wind, but I was, adrenaline pumping at that point. I was like, I can get it there. Hit the green. That bitch rolls in for a par. Wow. I hold out from like 130 something over the water. It was beautiful, though. It was gorgeous. So yeah, I mean, I was, I accepted a bogey and a double in my head already, but I hold it out for a par to shoot 83. Now they got partied the whole, so, you know, we lost by one, but it was an amazing moment. It was great. That's pretty incredible. It's dope, man. I'm happy to talk to the town. I'm happy. I've never been happier for a loss. That was a dope, dope moment. Are you like best friends with Clyde Drexler now? We play a lot of golf. That's what it sounds like to me. Yeah, we play a lot of golf together. It's, it's become a nice little friendship. Yeah. I can sit on my brother, you know? Love that. Yeah, cool. And it was really fun about an OG like that. All the basketball talks, like, you know how we sit around kicking shit about basketball? Like he has a different perspective that he likes to, like yesterday for we on the T-Box, and I told him my favorite center of all time is Hakim. Like, nobody can convince me differently. I like a skill. And he was like, no, listen, that's my brother, but, and I was like, it doesn't sound like it. Yeah. And so he's, so he's, he's explaining me why he's not the best center of all time. His, his, his favorite is Will. Well, I don't disagree with them. Like, I don't think Hakim is the best, like stat wise or anything like that. I just think from my perspective, like that's how I like my center to play back to the basket with unbelievable skill set down low. Like I haven't seen any center with his footwork and his agility and his skill set. He was like, but boss, it took like eight years to develop. He didn't just, I was like, I get it, bro, but that's the era I grew up in. That's, that's why he's my guy. But it's good to have those conversations because he has like a perspective. I mean, he's a hall of fame. Yeah. You know that Hakim, he was a goalie in Nigeria. For soccer? Yeah, he was a soccer goalie, which is, I mean, people think of like, okay, you're, you're, you're huge, you're tall. You got big wingspan, probably a good goalie. Most goalies aren't that tall. I would say like the majority of, of successful goalies are between like six feet, six foot four somewhere in there. But if you're too tall, it's super hard to get down low. But because he was so athletic, he could cover those low shots too. Oh, yeah. But yeah, he was, he was different. I like Hakim too. I think Hakim's offensive skill set is something that we, I don't think we've seen, trying to think of another skilled big man like that, that's been around since, I mean, like, you look at Yannis, Yannis has way more strength than Hakim. But I would not say like a refined offensive game like he had. Yeah. And that's what I'm saying. Like that's, that's what I like from my center. Like, you know, people, people in my area usually say, Shaq's the most dominant. And they always use the word dominant, right? And I don't think I necessarily disagree with that. But if you was to look at who gave Shaq the most issues, absolutely it was Hakim. Hakim kind of shadowed you down. And Hakim did most of that shit in the important games during Ramadan. When he wasn't eating or drinking during the day. Yeah. And specs. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I just, I just love Hakim. I got a special place in my heart. Yeah.

Look for Mountain Dew in stores near you at Mountain Dew.com. That's Mountain Dew.com. All right, look at a big T sheet that he sent over for today. Some stuff in the news. I don't know that much about Hantavirus besides the fact that I hear about it once every like three years. And it's usually, I feel like it's usually New Mexico, Colorado. This is my first time hearing about Hantavirus. Like watch out if you run into a mouse or a rat in Colorado, you're gonna die. Cause you've got the Hantavirus now. Did see some rabbits in Colorado. No rats though. No, well, yeah, they're probably all sick and dead from the Hantavirus. But now we've got Hantavirus on a cruise ship. So first of all, I thought we learned our lesson regarding cruise ships. When? This is why you will not find me on a cruise ship. I gotta tell you, as a cruise guy, this is upsetting. Well, no, I mean, if you're- I might be a former cruise guy. See if you're really about that life as a cruise guy, you should be excited by this. Because- Prices are about to drop. Prices are about to drop. Yeah. But I can tell that you're not fully committed to the, you're not as fully committed as you thought you were. If this can get me on one of the new Royal Caribbean ships for cheaper, I'm all in. Okay. Yeah, all right. All right. Maybe you're a cruise guy, but yeah, this is, don't be going on cruises people. Did we not learn anything from the floating prison ship of Diarrhea? Yeah, but that wasn't, that was just, that was a mechanical malfunction. Still. Stay clear. It's a, there's a pretty clear warning. And then when COVID hit, we had that one, that one ship that was just filled with people that were sick. And we didn't want to let that back into the United States because the numbers go up. So they were just floating out in the middle of the ocean being sick. Now we've got Hantavirus on a cruise ship and it appears to be spreading from person to person is the fear, right? Well, yeah, it definitely has. So historically, Hantavirus has just been like, you touch, you touch mouse poop that has Hantavirus and you can get sick. This time it's like, we think that it's spreading, which is not, it's not good. It's not a good development. I guess maybe they could, they could be getting it from like contaminated water supply, or if there's like some food that they all ate. But it sounds like it's spreading person to person. It's what they're worried about. So three people have died. And then others, did they only take them off to like go get them medical care? Did some people, I heard some people were on a plane. Like I guess they got off at one of the stops, I assume. Okay. And cause one of them was on a plane and now it sounds like they're gonna dock in the Canary Islands. But yeah, it seems like it's a bad deal going on on this ship. Yeah, I did see somebody saying that scientists, they say like, hey, this is really bad. Do not take every precaution necessary to avoid getting Hantavirus. Because if you do get it to mortality rate, it's very, very high. It's all 30 to 50% But that same person was saying the silver lining in a disease like Hantavirus is similar to Ebola in that it kills you too fast. So it kills you so fast that you don't have the opportunity to spread it like you would COVID, which wouldn't kill you if it did kill you. It wouldn't kill you for like, well past when you could spread, you could be walking around for like four days. I did see that. Didn't the black plague kill you really quickly? And that's still... But I think that was like mice and, or maybe we just blame the mice for that. I forget, the rats. The fleas. I think it was the fleas that got them. So what are we gonna do? I don't know. I don't know. So there's a new case that's in Switzerland right now that was a passenger that was on a cruise. 150 people are being sequestered on this cruise ship right now. Or quarantined, I guess I should say. That is tough. Would you rather be trapped on a cruise ship, not knowing whether or not 150 people had a Hantavirus or we're gonna die, or be sitting on a golf cart with Meek Phil? What's, you pick your poison. So one carries a greater risk of death, but I still feel the other is worse. I would personally, I can't be on a cruise ship. I just can't do it. I can't do it. I think I'm gonna die never having gone on a cruise. And I am very okay with it. You wouldn't let me take you on a cruise? I mean, it depends. I could be talked into anything. You gotta see these new ships they got me in there. Now I'm looking, if this is the ship. You know I love a good deal. Right. Above all else. If the picture I'm seeing, okay so yeah here's the evacuation. This is the ship. This is not a cruise. This is a boat. They're on a, they're on a boat. Oh so it's not that nice. You gotta be on a ship. Okay. I mean they got these things. It's like Disney World on the sea. Okay. We gotta get you. I don't know what cruise. The thing is I haven't been to Disney World in probably 23 years. I don't know what cruise line this is, but we'll get you on it. Look at this thing dude. That's a cargo ship. That's not a cruise. Yeah you're right. That looks like a. What is this? I don't know. Some sort of like, it looks like one of those boats that they take out on a great lake. Like the office party. Yes. When Michael Scott took Thunder Mifflin. Yes. Out on like the Lady of the Sea or whatever. That's kind of what that looks like to me. What cruise line is this? I'm not even seeing the name. But that's not a cruise. If you got on a Royal Caribbean, one of these new ships they got, I think you could have a good time on a cruise. They're saying that it's the Andes strain of the Hantavirus. It's a comment. Yeah, which means, unlike most Hantavirus's, Andes can transmit person to person in rare cases with close prolonged contact, such as being in a closed environment like a cruise ship, I guess. The real fear is that maybe it's a strain that we don't know about that is more likely to transmit person to person. Because if that happens, then that ship might be fucked. What happens to you when you get Hantavirus? Do you just, is this a poop thing? I have no idea. Or is this like an upper respiratory? Like we deal with your COVID's. Hantavirus symptoms begin one to eight weeks after exposure, starting with early flu like signs, fever, fatigue, and intense muscle aches. Within four to 10 days, this rapidly progresses to severe respiratory distress, including coughing and shortness of breath due to the fluid in the lungs, which requires immediate medical attention. So you just slowly suffocate till your lungs fill with enough fluid to kill you. Oh, awesome. Yeah, it sounds like what COVID does just at a much, much deadlier rate. Like, would you say 30 to 50% more? That's what I saw somewhere. For like the average Hantavirus? Or is that Andy's Hantavirus? I'm not sure. I'm looking it up. That's not good. And how long was the gestation period? Is that what you call it? No. I know that's when you're pregnant. How long? It might be gestation. It says the symptoms begin one to eight weeks after exposure, and then from there, four to 10 days later, your lungs are gonna go. Oh, okay. So that's not good either. I don't think it's good because you can be exposed. Similar to COVID, I feel like, in the beginning too, where it was like you can be exposed and not show symptoms immediately. I meant to say incubation period. There it is. Incubation, very different from gestation. I saw your point. Thank you. But yeah, 35 to 50 in extreme cases. Okay. Can you imagine being someone on that cruise who is in second? Nope. Nope, sure can't. That seems like hell, which is why I will no longer say never because I could be enticed to go on a super tacky cruise ship vacation at some point in my life. It's fine. It's cool. I don't know that I'm gonna do it again, but it was cool. It was dope. I'd say 99% chance that I will not get on a cruise ship in my lifetime, and I'm okay with that. You're not gonna believe, I'm on the website of this cruise ship in quotation marks. So named after Jodakus Hondius, a Flemish and Dutch engraver and map maker, the 353 foot MV Hondius is a purpose built environmentally friendly expedition cruise ship designed to sail the rough and rugged waters of the world's polar regions. A 350 foot ship in rough and rugged waters already sounds terrible. Yeah. And do you wanna know what the price starts at per person? They have 10 through 19 day cruises on this ship. That is, those are very, very long options. Starting price. For which one? Starting at per person, I guess this is the cheapest. I don't know. $7,800. Oh, wow. And this isn't even, this isn't a cruise. Now, terrible that these people are having to deal with this. But, it's a bad cruise. Very bad. I don't know, I want no part of it. I want no part. Look at this, dude. Good for you. This looks like a hostel. Have they slashed the prices yet? It doesn't seem. They're probably gonna need to take some time to disinfect that ship, I would imagine. This isn't even a twin bed, what is that? Yeah, that's not even a day bed. That's not even a cot. It's prison, that's a prison. See, look at that. Those rooms right there on this, what's the name of the ship? MV Hondius. The MV Hondius that is now adrift with 130 people that are quarantined because they might have Hantavirus. The rooms in this place, it is a prison. That does look like a, have you ever seen the Swedish jails on like those shows? That's what it looks like. It is indistinguishable from a Scandinavian prison on the inside. I got a show, but look at that. That's a cruise, brother. Yeah, now that's nice. That's a ship. A good solid American cruise. Yeah. We're gonna go on the Utopia of the Seas. Can we expense that? Yes. It's for research. Speaking of research, I have an idea for, it might be suited for either a science fair or a barstool after dark stream, but I would like to do something about this. But thinking more about it, I've always been very, very interested in the science behind hitting the perfect BAC ratio. Now, what do I mean by that? Well, we've all played beer pong. We've played darts. We've played golf and we might start out and we stink when we're sober. And then after like two beers, three beers, you're really good at darts. You're really good at beer pong all of a sudden. You're really good at golf. And then you're like, this is awesome. I'll just have some more beer. Then you drink more beer and then you get bad at all those things. There's a curve. It's my mission to find out what that exact golden ratio is of BAC. And I think we can do it in a scientific manner. I think it's possible. I'm not a scientist, so I might need some help from somebody who actually has experienced setting up a scientific study. But it would go something along the lines of, shoot a thousand beer pong shots on one cup. And then you might have, you know what? You probably shouldn't do that the same night that you're gonna drink beers because you're probably gonna, you're gonna naturally get better at shooting the beer pong shots over the course of like the entire night. So this is why I need somebody to like explain how to set up a study. Maybe you set that up ahead of time. You shoot a thousand beer pong shots or a hundred. Maybe you do a hundred. You find out what your percentage is and then you get somebody else to shoot a hundred. Find out what their percentage is. And then you then drink two beers in quick succession and then you go out, you shoot a hundred more shots. But you'd have to measure your BAC after each. Yeah, okay. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Yes, I love this. You measure the BAC, you measure, I don't know, you measure like your body weight and then how much alcohol you would need to like achieve a certain BAC level. And so you would want to get like a measurement at 0.0, a measurement at 0.04, and then a measurement at like 0.08, which is the legal limit, I don't know. Or maybe you want to like break it down even further than that and go like 0.02, 0.03, 0.04. I don't know. I need to figure out the exact science behind it. We could do the beer pong, we could do darts, we could do something to do with golf. I don't know how to do that. And then any other things that I can think of. How much, this is where I've noticed it in my life is where like I got a bunch of gaming buddies I came with in the Valorant game. And so we all get on and I'm okay, I'm cool at the game. But there's a now and then like, you know, so I'll have some drinks and they'll be like, hey, only a few because when I have like a few, I'm like in flow state and they are like, yo, you popping off right now. You know, I get cold like, because they smirk with me. So they're like higher level than I am. But I get in this flow state when I drink a little bit where we're right, we're neck and neck. I'm with them. But then there comes a point in the night where I just, it goes downhill and I just become horrible. Yeah, you're right. This is, I love this study. You know how it goes. And I'm not saying like, obviously you shouldn't drink and drive. That's not what I'm saying. But there is, I think there is some science to the idea that if you're doing something like throwing darts or like throwing a beer pong shot, that if you have like a small amount of alcohol in your system, you might be better at that one thing because it releases your inhibitions just enough while not screwing up your motor skills. But then obviously, like you said, Erin, you drink too much and then everything goes to shit. It might also just be a false confidence that goes along with having a couple beers and you think that you're really good, but you're not that much better. That's what I think. That's what I want to study. I think what happens, this is just my hypothesis. I think what happens is, is like you, a lot of times when we do anything, we second guess ourselves and there's just a lot of thinking that goes involved. And that I think is like a deterrent to your success at whatever you're trying to do. And I think that little bit of turn that shit off unless you just do this shit and little fuck it, that little bit of fuck it, I think goes a long way in your success. And so I go, because like in the game scenario, there's like things I would never do. I think I might drink because I'm like, oh, you know what I'm saying? I might, if I pick this, I might get shot, whatever. When I'm like, fuck these dudes, right? I don't care. And then you just play more free. I think when you play more free, you come a little better. You're right, I like this. I would like to discuss this with a scientist, an actual scientist that can help me set up a proper study and help us achieve what we want. Big T, can you ask one of your little AI friends online? See how they would set up a study? They use the AI, idea for- Who works as AI friends online. Yeah, I wanna talk to an actual scientist. I wanna talk to like a real person that's gone to school and has experienced setting up studies. But I'm just curious what they would say what the setup would look like from a robot. Also, Denny Woodhead scoring update. He is tied for fifth place at Omaha after one hole. He made a par. There was a four on the first hole of the day. Now he's on a par five. You can't- Is there a certain place he has to get? Does he have to win it? Like what's the- I need to look that up. There is a certain place that he would have to get. And I don't know what that place is right now. Okay, 78 players will be competing for four qualifying and two alternate places. Okay, so he has to, he's gotta get in the top four. Okay, tied for fifth. Let's do it, Denny. And he's done it before. Denny's done it before, he'll do it again. I think he finished second place a couple years ago in this, in the local qualifying. And then he was just like a couple of strokes away from making the US open where Bill Belichick would have cat-ed for him. And I believe he would have worn a part of my take hat where we were in discussions to sponsor Denny. That offer's still on the table day. Would you like to chat GPT's answer? Yeah, yeah, tell me what your little robot said. You can't ethically or legally design a study that tries to find a quote ideal blood alcohol concentration for performance and activities like golfer beer pong. Alcohol impairs coordination, reaction time, and judgment in a dose dependent way. So the premise is already on shaky ground and pushing people to higher levels to test that would raise serious safety and ethics issues. Sounds like propaganda. Well, didn't the police do that with UPFT? They did, the police did do that with me. Are you saying that the police are? We all know that police will never do anything ethical, so unethical. You know what, this sounds like one of these woke AI's that you're using. It is, most of them are. You can use Grock as what you need to use. Yeah, Grock it real quick. Yeah, let me ask Grock. Oh, by the way, Mechahitler Grock. Yeah, ask him what he thinks. Yeah, I will consult Dr. Joseph Mingalai who did many famous studies. Also, did you guys see the Elon thing yesterday? Nope, laid on me. Oh, nobody here saw it. I don't see anything from him, remember? That's right. I have his name muted. There's some strong evidence. I'm not gonna say it's official. There's some strong circumstantial evidence that Elon Musk might be controlling his mother and his father's Twitter accounts. Oh, I did see this. So Elon tweeted out the other day, my grandmother was a housekeeper in England. He was talking about like the working class roots that his family came from. And then his mother, May Musk, who has tweeted lots of very, very nice things about Elon over the years. His mother tweeted out, your mom told me she was cleaning toilets in Liverpool boarding house as a child. When I met her in 1966, she was sewing linings for a furrier in a small windowless room behind the store. So that's May Musk, quote tweeting Elon, who was talking about his grandmother. And May Musk saying, your mom told me she was cleaning toilets, seemingly referring to herself in the third person, but then saying when I met her in 1966 afterwards, which doesn't make any sense when she would like meet herself. So people are theorizing that this was meant to be a tweet, or excuse me, a post on X, from Elon's dad about Elon's mom, but he accidentally sent it from his mom's account. I think that's really the only explanation that makes sense. This was gonna fly under my radar because I don't follow Elon's mom, but Brace replied to it. That's how I saw it too. And said, aren't you his mom? Which put it rather succinctly, I think. So we'll see. That is interesting. Grock gave us a whole thing. Okay, he's got your perfect. This is why we Grock. He's super Grock now, did you know that? Great, let them be Grock. To identify an ideal BAC level for activities like golf or beer pong, I designed a rigorous controlled experiment studying the balances science, ethics, and real world fun. The goal would be to test whether there's a sweet spot, probably a low to moderate BAC around 0.02 to 0.06, where relaxation boosts performance and enjoyment without crossing into impairment. And then he goes into this whole thing. Define ideal, clearly, primary outcomes, secondary outcomes, participants, study design, alcohol dosing, and BAC measurement. He's got the whole thing, I'll send it to you. Okay, all right. I mean, it sounds like Grock's hypothesis is similar to mine, which is like somewhere between 0.02 and 0.06. Okay. Would be the best. I feel strongly about that. Six sounds high. Well, it depends on person to person. Eight, by the way, I watched a video recently of these guys being like, we're gonna drink till we get to 0.08, which is obviously the driving limit. And they were drinking. Yeah. Like, maybe I'm a narc, feels a little high. It depends from person to person. So some people at a 0.08 are what you'd call a functioning drunk. Meaning like you would not know that they were legally drunk unless you breathalyzed them. Like when I did that test with the police department, I was fine. I passed every single exam, even up to like a 0.11 or 0.10. Now granted, back then I was drinking a lot more than I am now. I rarely drink. I go out like maybe once a week, maybe, but really it's like once or twice a month where I'll really get after it. But so my tolerance is much higher back then. But in these tests, I would just be able to do like the walk, the stand, the alphabet, all that thing. But except I could not do the pen tracking with my eyes. It's how they get you. Because at the side it starts to flutter and you can't fake that. But yeah, so it also would depend person to person. I think there'd be some people that if they were like a 0.05, it would affect them more than somebody else at a 0.05. But it's about finding out like the averages. Listen, this is just the start of the science. We have to take baby steps, right? Yeah. Fan of the steady brother. Yeah, do it. All right. What else we got in the news today? Other than haunt a virus now, well, I mean define in the news, you're gonna say it never happened. Okay, tell me. The, you're familiar with all these scientists in recent years that have died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds or mysteriously disappeared or whatever. Smart people have died. Yes. So one of them, I believe her name is Amy Eskridge. Forgive me, there's, look at this. How am I supposed, well, one just went away. But anyway, yeah, Amy Eskridge was 34 when she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2022. She was a scientist dealing with a lot of UFO research and like anti-gravity type stuff. She described before she died and claimed to be hit with some sort of direct energy weapon. I'm trying to find her exact claim. Eskridge claimed that one of the firm's operatives had used quote, an RF K-band emitter run by five car batteries strung together from inside an SUV. The K-band is a specific set of radio waves that can be converted into rays and directed at enemy targets. And then yesterday, the Pentagon confirmed their use of direct energy weapons. Okay, the direct energy weapons thing, I'm not surprised that the government is using it. Like we've heard a lot about them before. I guess kind of surprising with the timing of them confirming it after this. This lady died in 2022. Yeah, several years ago. Okay, now I'm doing the thing where I click the link from that story, which was the New York Post and it took me to the Daily Mail as a source. The Daily Mail is hit or miss, I think that's putting it. I think this was in several publications. That's what I'm reading through that. I'm trying to find out where the Daily Mail gets it from, which by the way, they were also the ones that reported that lawsuit, the JPMorgan lawsuit last week. They had it first? They had it first, yeah. And it seemed fishy from the get go. There were a few things that didn't add up. You and I discussed it that morning? We did, we did talk about it that morning. You made the great point that women don't use the word cannons. Which I think is- Seems that may be the case. It's a very valid point. Big Cat disagrees by the way, he says Nancy Pelosi uses the word cannons. But I think he meant that he uses the word cannons to talk about Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, I find that very difficult to believe. Yeah. So let's see, do they have any other sources about this? I don't see anything wrong. I'll have to look further through. I mean, you know the lame stream isn't putting this out. So I did talk to Dante a little bit about this over the bachelor party. And I asked him what he thought was going on and he looked at me and he goes, dude, you know. And I felt very self-conscious following up about that because I'm like, I feel like I should not, like Dante made me feel like I should already know. So I don't want to feel stupid in front of Dante. But I was like, are we talking about like some secret project? Like some sort of fuel that we don't know about? And Dante's like, they're talking about clean energy. Clean energy meaning like energy from water, energy from just, you know, you don't have to use fossil fuels from it. You don't have to spend money on energy. It levels the playing field internationally globally. It's like that makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense, Dante. In 2020, Eskridge said she intended to present new foundational research on anti-gravity but required authorization from NASA before doing so. In a 2020 interview, Eskridge said she co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science as a public-facing persona to disclose anti-gravity technology. Adding quote, if you stick your neck out in public, at least someone notices if your head gets chopped off. That's true. That's true. That's true. This is a Newsweek, by the way. That good enough for you? Yeah, Newsweek could be, it could be okay. But it's always like, it's become just a giant nesting doll of like links that you have to click now of aggregators. Yeah. It's like Newsweek says something and then Daily Mail reports it and then New York Post reports it and then somebody puts just like a screenshot of it. Barstool Sports. Barstool Sports writes it up. Yeah, that's how it goes. Yeah, such as life. All right. But I mean, that's kind of regardless of if you think it had anything to do with this, the fact that the Pentagon was just like, hey, we have direct energy weapons. I'm, yeah, that is interesting. And you know what, I'm gonna upgrade this from, it seems like just the new meta to like draw your own conclusions and get internet points whenever somebody smart dies to be like, oh, part of the conspiracy. I'm gonna upgrade from that to I'm watching this space. Okay, thank you. I'm watching this space. Thank you. Previously you denied the existence of the space. So this is a step up. Yeah, I'm still not convinced of the space, but I'm keeping an eye on it in case something shows up there. That's fair enough. In case something shows up there. Well, 11 dead people have shown up there. But when we get the 12th, we'll see. We need a study to go back in time and see what the frequency of scientists deaths was before a month ago. That's fair. You can start to notice it. That's fair. That's what I'd like to see. We'll get to Helen Keller in a second. She's brought to you when we're not gonna interview her, but we're gonna talk about her.

Yeah, I agree. Watch this shit. Term limits, fucking, absolutely. Power hungry egomaniacs. I think we're gonna have to go through this. We're gonna have to go through this. We're gonna have to go through this. We're gonna have to go through this. Power hungry egomaniacs. That's what you're gonna get. What's that? Ruth Bader Ginsburg Wakanda Forever? Ruth Kanda Forever. Yeah, Ruth Kanda Forever. There needs to be, in addition to a cap on the age, there needs to be a higher minimum as well. You should have to have had a job for 20 years before you can do anything. For 20 years? It's a long time to have a job. So that's what, you're what, 40? It's a long time to have a job. I think that's more than fair. So nobody under 40? We'd have to work it out, but you have to have some real world experience. I think you do need to have people that are under 40 because the way that technology is advancing, we have people that are now in charge of making laws about AI that- Right, but they're 85. They're not 40. 40 is not old. Yeah, but I'm saying you would like to have people, I think that would be in their 30s at least. I think people in their 40s are more than capable. The people you're describing are in their 80s. I am not ready to talk about every latest technology. No, I'm certainly not. I get confused by a lot of stuff. I don't think most people in their 30s are either. I get confused by a lot of stuff. I don't know what the kids are up to. And by the way, all these people have people working for them that are the ages you're describing. They do, and they're all fucking each other too. That's the thing about those people. I'm sure they are. Yeah. Living in DC long enough, you know that doesn't red, blue, Democrat, Republican, you're fucking. If you're an aide on Capitol Hill, you're fucking another aide on Capitol Hill. It's a small town. Small town. Somebody asked me about DC, if I like growing up there. I did. I really did enjoy growing up in the DC area. I think it's a great place to grow up. I would never move back. I don't wanna move back. They're like, why? Well, it is the most cutthroat social climbing scene, professional climbing scene that you could ever imagine. Like everybody's thinking about their next job. What can you do for me? I only wanna hang out with this person because they know somebody that's there. They work at this department, and I think they can give you good recommendation. It is, and they're blatant about it. And I actually didn't know this until probably, I had to be at least like maybe 28, 29, that it's not normal when you are introduced to somebody. You say, you introduce yourself, you say your name, that one of the first questions that you ask the person shouldn't be, what do you do? But everybody in DC, that's like the very first, after like, what's your name, what do you do? Where do you work? And apparently that's like very, very rude to ask in other places, like right off the bat. People don't wanna talk about it. I've talked to a lot of people that are like, we don't like to talk about what we do. Like that's a question you ask me after like an hour of hanging out. I feel like that's very normal. I thought that it was growing up, but apparently it's not. I've never had, you've had that experience? Yeah, I have. Where were these people from? And some of them are still gonna manage you? Not mad, but like, I've had the conversation with people that's like, oh yeah, we don't ask people what they do. That's more of a like, familiar question. It's like, I just, somebody, they body count on the first date. Where was this? Tell me where this was. It's more so people that I think move to DC that then experience DC and they're like, that's the, it's the first question everybody asks. I don't think that's a Washington DC thing. I think that's very normal. Okay. What you think is normal to not ask somebody what they do? No, to do it. Oh yeah, absolutely. Oh hey, nice to meet you. Like what do you do? Like right off the bat. What do you do for a living? It's like one of the first, I had a wild dating experience. December is probably like four or five months ago where I had digitally met this joint. And I was like, hey, what's going on? Small talk, small talk, small talk. What do you do? And then she goes, you're asking questions for like a date. And I was like, okay. And she goes, well, you need to take me on a date if you're gonna ask those questions. And I was like, okay. So I kept it blank because she lives in another city. So I kept it blank until then. And then she goes like, you're not really even in trying to get to know me. I was like, lady, you just told me not to ask you any like personal questions to save it for the date. And then it got really weird. Like she was an actual like psycho. And then she was like, yeah, I don't want you to like dig too much. And I was like, okay, so I won't. Later on she was like, you're not a real man. You don't know how to, you know how to court a lady. And she said, call me when you drop the skirt. I said, bitch. I didn't say, I didn't say, I stopped myself from calling. I didn't stop myself from calling a bitch in my head. I called her bitch. I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? I was like, are you crazy? I said, I said, I said, have a good day, man. You seem like a great person. I was actually with her on the first part, save it for the show. But then she went off. If we mean digitally, I'm so, how am I going like, how are you going to know you even want to get to a date with me? If I don't ask deeper questions, to see if I'm somebody you even want to hang out with. I think if y'all live far away, that's different, but like. The date has to be planned like right away. If that's the case. But. And to me, I'm trying to save her. Cause like in my mind, I always date women with the, with the, with the notion that they think that I might kill them. That's how I date. And so I try to eliminate that off rip. Say, I am not going to murder you. And so I want to do this, how you want to do this. But if you tell me to back the fuck off and don't ask no deep questions, I'm going to back the fuck up and don't act, don't act no deep questions. But then if you didn't say, I'm not trying hard enough, I just think you're crazy. Now you're just fucking crazy. Yeah, she seems a little bit. Very forward. Yeah, yeah. There's a lid for every pot. She just wasn't your lid. Was she odd? Yeah, that's the only reason why I put it for the first part. Damn. This was a really great, really great tweet I saw the other day. I think this is from May 1st, from Skyler Rominas, or Romines. I don't know how to pronounce her name. She said, there was a guy from Twitter who used to send me flowers weekly for a while. We met IRL for the first time and went to dinner about a month ago. After that, he asked me out again. I thanked him and was honest that I didn't think we'd be compatible long-term and shouldn't continue. He hasn't sent me flowers once since then. It's always good to have an opportunity to see someone's true character when they don't think they're going to get what they want from you anymore. Like someone who was genuinely invested in your happiness would have kept sending flowers. I don't know if this is rage bait. I don't know if I'm being trolled. I'm unfamiliar with Skyler's game. I saw it. It seemed real-ish. I think it might. Because I saw the text that were with him. I'm gonna put it 6040. 6040 real. And if so, I just wanna say congrats to this guy for dodging a major bullet. Good job, buddy. Yeah, that shit is wild. Also, good job respecting boundaries. Even though she's like, you should now break those boundaries. Good job. You did the right thing. I was saying to somebody, I used to date random flowers. And then we're like, what's this for? I'm just like, I just care about your wellbeing and your personal happiness. Don't expect anything. Don't expect anything. Yep. Yeah, that's crazy. All right, you guys wanna talk Helen Keller? Yes. Let's talk that. I do have one more kinda, I saw that Cash Patel is using, the FBI is using AI to catch school shootings before they happen. Which is gonna go well. Which if true. How so? I don't know, he says that they've already stopped some school shootings. He said, what's the point in collecting terabytes of data if you can't sort it out? So I don't know exactly how they're doing it. I don't think that they wanna say exactly how they're doing it. But it sounds kinda like pre-crime. Like if you watch Minority Report, right? Where they had the people, the cogs or whatever, the pre-cogs that were just laying down in the goo. And then just telling the detectives go arrest this guy because he's about to commit a crime. But that's been happening for years though. Well, you can't really get arrested for- No, but you're being spied upon. Yeah, being spied upon, yeah. But my theory or my thought is that maybe they're using it to just read everybody's texts, everybody's social media posts, and there's a certain algorithm that catches words. Like words that anybody could agree upon would be like, okay, this person's actually, he has committed a crime in committing a threat. Like a direct threat. And we caught it and it was flagged and we got him. I hope that's what they're doing. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what, everyone just says they're using AI now to whatever extent, what that means, who knows. Yeah, some people just have software. Yeah, it's just stuff that, oh, it's AI now. Hey, this is PFT from Part of My Take, a terrible call by the refs, a back breaking interception in the red zone, brutal clock management at the end of the half. When the season has you ready to snap, don't break. Snap into a slim gym instead. Slim gym is not just a meat stick, it's the OG. Slim gym is the bold, spicy snack that snaps back. No fumbles, no bad calls, just bold flavor that can never be sidelined. So if your team has you feeling like you're ready to snap, call time out and snap into a slim gym. All right, let's talk HK, Helen Keller. The goat, is she the goat? The goat. Yeah. Okay, embrace debate, big T, you said the goat, the worst of all time. Well, to be clear, most of my qualms are not with Helen. Okay. I think she had an attention seeker by her side. So her cause was co-opted. Yes. By the miracle worker, and Sullivan. Correct. Okay. So. I think A.N. was after the tabloids. Let's talk about it a little bit. Helen Keller was born in 1880. Not a lot of pictures, not a lot of cameras back then. There were some childhood pictures that were taken over, but it's not like we had, you know, vast troves of video evidence like we would have if she were born today. She was born in 1880. It was in Tuscumbia, Alabama. And also I noticed this when I was looking up information about Helen Keller, almost every picture from her childhood is, it's of her with a different dog. And I don't know if I got got by the internet, but I saw a picture of her as a baby with, it would appear to be like a 65 pound jacked up pit bull. I saw a picture of her when she was a child with like a border collar. Every picture I see, she's with a different dog. I don't know if her family like just got her dogs to hang out with or to protect her, but I don't know, big dog person, I guess. So she was born 1880 when she was a child. She had, they think scarlet fever, it might have been rubella, and she lost her sight and her hearing. So she's been very, very famous because there was a movie, The Miracle Worker that was made about her. She actually went on to do pretty incredible things regardless of whether or not she was completely blind and completely deaf. She had led a very fulfilled life. She was an author. She graduated from Harvard's Women's College. She traveled to 39 countries, which is a pretty big deal back then. She helped to found the ACLU. She was a partier. She was friends with the guy that invented the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. She was friends with Mark Twain, published author, and she became like super, super famous as a disability activist because she was trying, she was trying to bring Braille to the forefront in the United States and stressed the importance of educating disabled people to live better lives. So she did a lot. Socialist. Yeah, she was a socialist as well. She was like anti-Hitler in 1933 before anyone else was. She was very outspoken, interesting figure. I think where a lot of the argument comes into play is I don't think that her being described as being deaf and blind necessarily implies that she is 100% deaf and 100% blind. Like if you're blinded as a child. I think it's marketed pretty much that way. I don't know what the, man, I sound terrible. I don't know what she claims, but that was my understanding. So I've got family members who are legally blind, but they walk around. They can't really see unless they look like out of the corner of their eye. But they have the handicap privileges and legally they've been declared blind, they can't drive or anything like that. So it's a spectrum of how blind you are. I think in Helen Keller's case, she is marketed as you put it, like kind of towards the all or nothing end where it's like she can't see anything, she can't hear anything. This is she lost her sight and hearing after about a vileness when she was 19 months old. That sounds definitive to me, but. And so she was put in touch with Ann Sullivan. She had no usable sight or hearing for communication. It's from the Perkins School for the Blind. So the claim is completely blind, completely deaf. Okay, so she went to the Perkins Institute for the Blind and they had a teacher by the name of Ann Sullivan and Ann moved in and taught her braille, taught her how to read lips, which she's blind, I don't really understand, maybe just like feeling people's mouths. Taught her finger spelling and eventually taught her how to talk. I think a lot of people think that Helen Keller was not blind, was not deaf, because it's hard to even imagine how somebody that is blind and deaf could learn how to do all these things. It kind of breaks our brain to try to comprehend that somebody writes the word water on your arm with water and you're able to learn what that word is and what it means. That's hard for us to believe. She would also do things like in her writings, describe colors in detail. Which is, from a sightseer's perspective, it's like, it's a little sus. It is a little sus, I do understand that. But she did a lot of shit. I mean, the accusations I think are warranted because she did so much and was so limited. It does beg the question. I'm like, you guys are so excited to do it. There's a lot of shit you did. Yeah, tell us how. Yeah. Because it's crazy that you were able to accomplish all this. Yeah, I understand the skepticism. 100%, I do. She did the stuff where she's talking about her, you're talking about her writing and she's using like very flowery language and talking about colors. I think her argument was that she studied literature and so she read authors that would talk about that stuff. So then she kind of learned to copy that and understand it. But she's still sus to me because I'm like, okay, that's their experience of the world. Why would that be your experience? She was also accused of plagiarism at one point where she wrote a book, like a fictional story. The Frost King. The Frost King, she wrote it as a birthday present for a guy by the name of Michael Nagnos and he was the director of the Perkins School for the Blind and it was a story that was very similar to a book called Frost Fairies. And she got caught because the guy that ran the Perkins School for the Blind put that short story that she wrote in the alumni newsletter and people read it and they're like, hey, that's actually just based on this other one. And then they kind of had a falling out after that because they're like, hey, Miss Sullivan, are you just plagiarizing things and claiming that Helen Keller is writing them? But then Helen Keller got very embarrassed and she was like, I must have just remembered the story and I tried to write fiction so I'm not gonna write fiction anymore. So there was like a plagiarism accusation on her desk and there's also accusations that her writing changed after she switched teachers and like guardians from Ann Sullivan to somebody else. There was like a different style, could have been explained because she got older, she was like 50 at the time. But some people say like, hey, this is actually evidence that Ann Sullivan was writing all her shit and now she's not anymore. Yeah, me? Yeah. Yeah. And also in the plagiarism incident, what struck me as a 19th century court, or this might have been 20th century at that point, coordinated media response in that Alexander Graham Bell, Mark Twain, Edward Everett Hale and some other people all came out were like, no, she didn't plagiarize, that's terrible. Like when you see the clips of who's the company that owns all the local news stations? Sinclair. Sinclair. When you see them all say the same thing? Yep. That struck me is that. These are the big names, these are the heavy hitters of that era. I mean, if those three come out, you're listening. And they have your back, yeah. So I could also see an explanation of like, hey, when Helen Keller writes stories, like keep bearing in mind, she can't see and she can't hear anything. So when she writes them, her handwriting is, she'll skip words sometimes, she'll just give you the nouns and try to tie those together. And then Ann Sullivan goes in, she cleans it up and she turns it into what she would call the finished prose, like an editor. That could be, I think a reasonable person would expect, maybe sometimes there's an editor for this person that literally can't see her here when she's writing. We're just gonna clean up some of the typos and like sometimes the editor gets way too involved and adds words in and writes in their own voice. That could have been an explanation, but that's not the explanation that she used. And it would have been easy for this Ann Sullivan to remain unnamed in the shadows if it was all Helen Keller doing it. It did seem like she wanted some press, yeah. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, it seems like- I think she sure did. I think she wanted us to still be talking about her. She graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College. Which one? Learn to- Oh, fucking no. Radcliffe College. No, Helen Keller you're talking about. Yeah, yes, I'm sorry, yes. Learn to read and write in Braille in English, French, German, Greek and Latin. Learn to speak verbally despite being deaf. Mastered the Tadoma method, hearing by placing fingers on a speaker's lips and throat. She learned to use a typewriter. She wrote 14 books. She co-founded the ACLU. She was part of the Socialist Party of America. She helped pass legislation establishing commissions for the blind for over 30 US states. She lobbied Congress for federal funding for blind services. She visited 35 countries on five continents as an ambassador for the blind. She toured Japan. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom of Honor from LBJ. She received honorary doctorates from Harvard, Temple, Glasgow, Berlin, Whitwasterstrin. She co-starred in a movie, Deliverance. She performed on Vaudeville Circuit for four years. She became an accomplished swimmer, horseback rider, tandem bicyclist. She learned to sail and dance. Dog. No. You know, and no dog. A thousand percent, you're absolutely right. But something has just hit me. That's a lot for anybody. That is crazy dog. Do you know who she is? And this, she is jelly roll. She's someone with a great story. Who is probably a wonderful person. But she was shoved down everyone's throat at every turn. Oh, look, she flew a plane. No, she didn't. Do you know about that? Do you know what they did? They sat her in the co-pilot seat for 15 minutes. I want to tell y'all something real quick. I was up in that plane. No, no, no, no. I looked down from that plane. That's, I used to be in that prison down there. And I don't want to disparage jelly roll because he seems like an amazing guy with a great story. And I like some of his music. I see, but my wife told me, you get your, you get out of that prison, you act right jelly roll. And I say, I'm up here in this plane right now, mama. I ain't ever coming down. They sat her in the co-pilot seat for 15 minutes, let the other guy fly the plane. Well, she didn't take off her land or anything. And then they said, oh, she flew the plane. I don't know. Maybe this was for the ACLU, which a whole nother conversation. She was an industry plant. Okay. For whom? I'm not entirely sure. I think that, I think it's probably fair to say that it would be a safety hazard to let Helen Keller fly a plane. If she was even blinded deaf to begin with, which I believe she was, I do think there's a chance she might not have been. That is, I don't think that's ableist of me to say, like I don't think that. Wait, so, wait, to be clear, you don't believe someone with those disabilities could fly a plane as well as someone without them. I don't believe that deaf and blind people are the safest choice to fly airplanes. I think there are people who would say that's ableist. Well, I think that's where we disagree, me and that person. You believe that disability precludes them from doing something. I believe that everybody's built in different ways for different purposes. Okay. I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying there's some people who might. I'm not gonna be in the NBA and that's okay. I don't think Helen Keller should have flown a plane. But clearly what that was was a, you're right, publicity stunts, like who knows, what were they up to that day, flying across the Mediterranean? What were they promoting? I don't know. I think it was Paris to Rome, was it? When it got written up in the press, what was featured as like the key point of that article? Is it the type of plane they were on? Let's find out. A new airline that let her fly. I wanna know more about that because that does seem like it's like, you know, a publicity stunt that would work back in the day. And most people could just sit behind the stick and not touch anything. And the plane would be okay for a little bit. I am not a believer. I'm with Big T right here. An industry plant or just some kind of, this is propaganda. This is propaganda. A thousand percent. And the handler wanted to be famous. I think that could be the case. There's just a lot, there's just so much going. She lived 30 lives, dog. Post-World War II tours. Fuck outta here, dog. No. No. I disagree. I think that she might've been used for publicity. She might've even been paid for some of that. But she also did like good work in terms of like educating a lot of blind people and making sure they had opportunities. The lines are getting blurred because it's like, I don't know what she directly was responsible for or what her direct accomplishments were because I think so much, you know, when people die or if an athlete retires, all of a sudden nobody in that era could ever even touch them. No, dog. They got their ass whipped too. Her death has embellished her resume so much. And I think that it was even the case while she was alive that I don't know what's real. And so like, I don't even know what to admonish about her. Other than, which I do, I will concede this fact, the fact that you can do anything of like significance, being deaf and blind is fucking fantastic. So I don't want to disparage her from that aspect. I want to disparage the people around her that started this. Like this is, some, no, bro, you can't do all those things with her condition. I'm sorry, bro. I'm a non-believer. I think somebody was writing for her. I think somebody had an agenda for her. No, I don't believe she. 100%. I'm gonna remain un- What do you think? I am, I'm of the belief that she is. Watch him sit on this fence real quick. I think that she was probably deaf and blind, but not totally deaf and blind. That's interesting. Yeah. But say she was totally deaf and blind, which is what they claim. Right, which I'm saying, I probably, I doubt. So you think she did all the stuff, but she wasn't actually totally deaf and blind? I think they could put her. I think she was deaf and blind, it didn't do all the stuff. I think they could put her behind the seat of an airplane for 20 minutes. That's on autopilot. Well, that's what they did regardless. Yeah. I think that. And to be clear, Ari, and you're with me, right? You think she probably was deaf and blind, it didn't do the stuff. Yeah, I think she was deaf and blind. That's what I think also. Yeah, I think she was a puppet for other people's agenda. And it was used as propaganda for whatever said case. I agree. She happens all the time, like Mother Teresa, like propaganda. One of the best people of all time. No, be shit, big be shit. So I point to her time on the vaudeville circuit when she was like, I don't wanna say traveling freak show, but that's kind of what they sold back in the day. So they called her the eighth wonder of the world, and she did a 20 minute show. So she would tell her life story in her own words. Sullivan would translate what those words were that she was saying. Then they did Q and A sessions with the audience. And she was anti-prohibition, actually. She was big time anti-prohibition. It was written up that she got asked by an audience member, what do you think is the most important question before the country today? Helen Keller's response, how to get a drink? I mean, respect. She's funny. Now, do you think that like the stories in the newspaper all made up? I don't think they're made up. I think she was there while some of this stuff happened at the help of others. And they were like, look what Helen did. And it was used to advance. Just you're in complete and total isolation. There is just no way. It can't be that you are just savvy and brilliant with that much limitation. I don't think it's possible. And we're underselling that, by the way. We just keep saying deaf and blind, deaf and blind. And we all understand what those things are. Imagine you are in total darkness and you can't hear a thing. Your existence is only inside your own mind. Yeah. You have no perception of the rest of the world. I mean, yeah, we're underselling just how nuts that is. It is crazy. And I am to believe that she wrote these flowing essays and flew a plane. Talking about the color velvet. Come on, y'all. Get the fuck out of here. I'm not hell nah velvet and gold trim. But no. No, wait, but velvet's not a color. Is that a texture? So doesn't that mean that lends more credence? Velvet is a color. What do you mean? Velvet's a color? Both. That's it. Velvet's like a, is it violet? Violet? Violet? Yeah. Violet, my fault, my fault. I think you can describe a color as velvet. Yeah, it could be like if it's a fabric. It's like an adjective. Yeah. I remember she wrote something about the color. I remember velvet. I could be, It could be violet. She wrote like gold trim, violet, whatever it is. That started with V. I could have been, could have been my mistake, hand up, but in the federated of me trying to be convinced that this person in complete and total isolation wrote beautiful language about colors. Come on, y'all. Come on, man. No, man. No. No. No. And it just so happened the colors she was written and wrote writing about were and Sullivan's favorite color. Now, is that true? Yeah. Well, on this little, little junk that I read, there's a color that she had written about that she got backlash from. And that's happened to be, and Sullivan's favorite color. And I mean, that's what I read there, bro. I'm not fact checking that shit. If you're a teacher and you've got like a very favorite color, you probably teach your blind student about this cool color that you like, right? How do you teach a blind person about color? How? I don't know. How? I was, I was listening to a blind guy. This was years back. Well, this is to a blind guy, describe his experience. And somebody asked him like, what do you see? And he's like, it's a nonsense question to ask me that. He's like, that's like me asking you, what do you see out of your elbow? That's what he said. Makes sense. From his perspective, he's like, dog, I don't see anything. I have no perception or no nothing to relate. I just, so he didn't even understand darkness. You can't describe color. Maybe you can. Maybe I'm being able to see here. But I don't want to be disrespectful to blind people, but it's like, how do you explain to them color? And then, and then explain to them in a way where they feel inspired to write about it. I heard a blind guy one time talk about people trying to describe colors to him. And he was like, they'll say red is hot. And he's like, okay, I know what hot is, but I have no perception of what that even means. Like that red is hot. What does that mean? Yeah, it don't make sense. And so for you to describe color in your writing, it's bullshit. Assuming it was her writing, which it was not. That's what I'm saying. I don't think, I don't think she did. Honestly, I don't think she did any of this shit. I think she maybe was, she was able to read and braille. I think that was possible. Rest of this shit, I'm calling Kat. You don't think that she was able to talk? Taking a knee. Shout out, shout out seven. Yeah, you don't think she's ever able to talk? I've seen video of her like, expressing herself, yeah. But that's, that listen to that's an accomplishment. I'm talking about starting the ACLU, flying a fucking airplane, swimming horseback riding. Like dogs, give me, miss me Will, all of that shit. Miss me. Yeah. I almost hate this shit. I mean, it's pretty incredible that she was able to talk. Yeah, and yeah, okay. That is amazing, but you talking about somebody who if somebody was burdened with the unfortunate success to be deaf and blind, which is horrible. You know what I'm saying? If you were able to communicate at all, I'm thinking that's an amazing accomplishment. You talking about somebody who learned different languages, wrote 14 books, met with presidents. Come on, man. Now, I also wonder if the fact that she went blind and deaf allegedly when she was 19 months old. It's not like she had, your memory doesn't develop before the age of like, I think usually three and a half, four for most people. But I wonder if like the fact that she did have 19 months where her eyes were working, if that made it, if that made her more able to like understand some of the concepts that were being talked about like color. Like if deep down she could understand. Because your synapses for memory don't fire like that, right? I don't know. That's the correct way to say that. I don't know, but like, we had that hypothetical, like would you rather, if you were blind, would you rather be born blind or would you rather have sight and then go blind? It's easy, you'd rather have sight and then go blind. So you gotta understand the concept. So like when people are telling you about stuff, you can picture it in your mind's eye. But then it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I don't know that to be the case. No, I don't. Because then you're burdened for the rest of your life with knowing what you're missing out on. If you don't know what you're missing out on, then I think that lessens the suffering. No, I think being able to like day to day stuff, like get around, handle things better because you have a concept of what somebody's talking about when they're like, hey, go four steps here, you're gonna go up the stairs and go through the door. Like you can picture all these things that you're doing. You probably get around a lot better. You could- You're still taking it from your perspective though. So if you have seen, you now know what you're not able to do anymore. And that would cause a certain amount of suffering. If you've never seen before, you have no idea what you're missing out on, you're like, that just is what it is. Hmm. Yeah, I think I'm gonna stand by that one. I'm gonna be like, I would much rather be able to picture things that people describe to me. I don't know me, make me blind at birth. We do have an update to the JPMorgan lawsuit thing. Oh, I have an update on Hantavirus. Oh, okay. You wanna go first or you want me to? You go first. Okay, JPMorgan offered a million dollar settlement for the sexual assault claims before it went viral. And he didn't take that? He didn't take it. This guy might be one of the all time morons. Yeah. In a statement, JPMorgan spokesman said, we did try to reach an agreement to avoid the time and expensive litigation and to support an employee who is being threatened with a very reputational harm and unfolding. We continue to believe these allegations have no merit and new information. Okay, I kind of get that. That's a reasonable explanation, I think, but like a million dollars is a million dollars. That's a lot of money to offer if they truly believe that it was false. I guess they did the math and they're like, we'd have to pay for lawyers for X amount of hours. They don't even care if it's true or not. It's gonna cost them more money than that just to deal with it. Now everyone, every employee at JPMorgan is gonna be suing them. By the way, there's confirmation from the World Health Organization that the cruise ship carrying the Hantavirus can spread from human to human. That's not good. What do we, do we just gonna leave the ship out there? I mean, I don't know. How long do they stay out there? I mean, get them back to dry land and put them in some sort of, like the place that they do love is blind. Just put them in the room. Yeah, put them in the rooms. They can talk to one person. They fall in love. We record it. Nick Lachey interviews him at the end. What do you think? Could be interesting. Can be very interesting. Yeah, the quarantine featuring Nick Lachey. Love is quarantine. Mm-hmm. I like it. All right, we got anything else today? I don't know, Mad Dog McKinsey, what do you guys think about Helen Keller? I think I'm on big T side where I do believe she is deaf and blind or was deaf and blind RIP. But I don't know if all of what she did was a fully, just her working alone. Okay. Yeah, I think it was maybe embellished a little bit to be like, oh, she is so amazing. She can do all these things. Also, when was she alive? Like the late 1800s? Yeah, born in like the 1880s, I think, or the 70s. Yeah, like you kind of don't have to verify that much back then. She died in, I want to say 1960. Born in 1880, died in 1968. I will say it's crazy that she only died in 1968. Yeah. So it's kind of like, what is it, Van Gogh, where he sneaky was alive until like the 90s or the 80s or something? Yeah, how much footage do we have of her? Probably a decent amount, right? I mean, we have a lot of pictures. If she was famous, she was like, you know, world famous. I always thought about with her, like how you entertain yourself if you have no ability to see or hear. How do you not go crazy just through boredom? But I guess if that's all you are kind of conscious with, then you just figure it out. You know what I mean, though? Yeah, it's like if you're not touching anything, you have nothing, like nothing is going on. You're in like almost like a deprivation tank. Yeah, you have to have like- It's your body. Yeah, like a stress ball. I want to do that, by the way. A deprivation tank? Yeah, there's one here. Were you float? Yeah. That was big like seven years ago. What would you do, what would you do in there for an hour? Because I think it's like an hour session, you just go. I don't know if I could laugh at all. I think that's the whole point is you do nothing. I think people, like I think you like just float and like stare at the ceiling. Meditate. I think it's like totally dark. You don't see anything. That's like strange for things. Yeah. I don't know if I could laugh. And I think it's- I think I get the water is supposed to be the temperature of your body so that you don't even- Like you feel like you're floating? But no, you don't feel that you're floating. You kind of like just morph into the, like, because you can't tell the difference between the temperature of your body and the temperature of the water. I don't like that one, but- Yeah, I don't know about that either. There's that room where they say, like you, it's complete voicing. Like this has sound panels and it's like complete void of any sound. And it's like really, I think there's like dangers to go in there because you can literally hear blood coursing through your veins or your heart beat. Not sure how true it is. That's just the shit I heard about it. But like that, that shit would be, I don't know how long I could last and some shit like that. That's scary. Yeah. Just give you an anxiety attack. There's always those things that go viral about like, could you sit in a padded room for a year with nothing for like a billion dollars or whatever and people are like, yeah, I can do that. No the hell you couldn't. Not a year. You couldn't do it for a month. A month would be hard. A week would be, dude, you have no idea what time it is. You have no idea if it's day or night. You have nothing. You don't have a magazine. You don't have a phone. You have nothing. I don't like the not knowing what time of day it is. No. You'd go insane. I don't like that. You couldn't last a week for any amount of money. I guarantee it. Yeah. I don't know if I could. Yeah, that's what. But somehow Helen Keller was flying planes. Sure thing. Industry plant for the blind. Her and Bobby Altoff. Yeah. What's happened to old B&S? She's on the news. She realized Mormon wives. Really? You're kidding. She's on the spinoff. Secret lies of Mormon wives. Orange County. There's no chance she's a Mormon. No, half of them on the new one aren't or never have been. So what's she doing? It's just reality show. It's like a real housewives of Orange County, but make it millennial people. And they're in Utah? No, they're in Orange County. Because the original is in Salt Lake City. Okay. And then this is a spinoff that they're filming in Orange County. And it's also Mormon? Yeah. It's technically secret lies of Mormon wives. So like most of them aren't even Mormon. Okay. I can't keep up. They're most of the, the, the spinoff that is that Bobby Altoff is in is with a ton of like tick tock moms. All right. But similar to the secret lies of Mormon wives, but these tick tock moms. Most of them do not have a connection to the Mormon church, which I think is going to be bust, but who am I? One of the, one of the moms on the show is in a polyamorous relationship. That will be interesting, but not Bobby Altoff. Well, who's to say, but one of the moms on the show is currently in a polyamorous relationship. All right. Well, uh, thank you for joining us on this week's MacRodosing.
