Home studio scene Sior dimly let deeper on the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, and today we are under the tutelage of our general manager.

The founding fathers and founding mothers, founding sisters and brothers as well.

Thanks for founding us second cousins. We're not actually here today, but remember the podcast Never rests.

Armstrong and Getty on demand now some of the finer moments from the show.

So I mentioned this, I didn't get to my last thing here on this Grennelle approval rating polly thing about the approval rating of Biden and Trump and all these different people, including the approval rating for Taylor Swift, in which she has a fifty two percent approval rating, but you break it down by parties.

I find this really troubling.

It's seventy six percent of Biden supporters have a favorable view of Taylor Swift, only thirty five percent of Trump voters. The fact that we are that tribal about a blonde haired singer who has nothing to do with our lives at all.

It is not good. That's not good any level. It's just weird because there was.

A rumor for a while, the conspiracy theory that she was going to announce after the Super Bowl or I.

Mean whatever, But.

The fact that that's leaked into Ah, the whole thing is so tawdry.

Hate it all. AnyWho?

Benjamin Nett and Yah who only has a thirty one percent favorability.

Rating right now in the United States. Hmmm, pretty low. Not shocked by that. I'm not either, m Man.

I read a good piece about the the planned peer, the relief peer that Biden wants the Navy to build or I can't remember scording to.

Mike Lenes, the Army's gonna build it.

Yeah, I was gonna say I remembered it being the army, but thought, why is the army taking boats on the water to build a pier? Anyway, It's just scathing, scathing, look at the idea, how it's it just it's idiotic, ineffective, dangerous. It will merely further fund Tomas. It is just a nakedly political.

Gesture that's like best case scenario at funds AMAS worst case scenario, of course, as we end up with a one hundred dead service members and we're at war.

I would agree. Yeah. Yeah.

Moving on to other fair from the world of commerce, I thought this was so interesting, speaking of Wall Street Journal, They're talking about Amend's apparel brand that I'm not really familiar with, but they were I know all the hot brands hang on a single let me click the brand, what apparel?

Oh No, I do know this brand?

Untucket. Oh yeah, Untucket. I got some of those shirts. I just went on an underwear buying spree. Some I've got a bunch of the hot brands of underwear right now. Tell us more thought no one, because I finally decided I've come too far in life. I've had a little success. I've I've worked very hard. I shouldn't be wearing underwear where the elastic is shot and it's sinking down my pants throughout the day.

No, we shouldn't, Wow, Michael, is how sad is this? I've had no success and I don't wear those That's a funny line, Michael.

Yeah, I'd had a couple pairs underwear that I just every time I think you've got to replace these. They're no elastic and they would just slide down in my jeans or my suit pants, so uncomfortable.

Yeah, for goodness sakes, we'll all pitch in and get you some to go fund me. Yeah exactly.

You know, I find Untucket to be quite attractive, but off the expensive their good shirts.

So yeah, that's not that expensive, huh.

Anyway, So, the good folks at Untucket were considering locations for a new store on Long Island, New York, and they initially dismissed the location because they felt it was too close to an existing store at them all none of us have ever heard of. But then they looked at the cell phone data and it showed that the two locations were drawing customers from opposite of Long Island. Now, granted, Long Island is on Island's right there in the name, and so the geographic patterns in the way things work might be a little easier to analyze, but it's clear that you could have them practically back to back or a mile apart, because people from the south end of the island come to this store, and it's people from the North end that would come to this store, and the cell phone data just absolutely proved it, nailed it, and they're going to open a shop next month, and they're opening fourteen new stores, all using this digital technology. And they go into the history of that this has always been a thing for retail. They want to put stores where their customers are likely to be. Whether it was Starbucks looking at their mail orders to decide where Starbucks stores ought to open. Then they helpfully went with the policy of We'll just put them everywhere, literally everywhere. Sometimes there's a Starbucks inside another Starbucks. But and then you had the old old school where Ace Hardware hire a plucky young Joe Getty as a college student or something to stand there with a clicker and count the number of cars that went by on the stone.

Wow, I didn't know that.

But like Krispy Kreme's model is they just open up next to an already popular local donut shop and hope to.

Drive them out of business.

Yeah, that's lovely. So anyway, that's the stity that are to this sort of thing. And all of your data, your location data, is not you specifically, but all of that stuff is being sold and used and it's making for greater efficiencies in retail.

They say, But.

I just thought that was interesting. And then another note from the world of commerce. I found this both intriguing and amusing. Want to feel special stores and restaurants with paid memberships are betting on it.

How much does it cost to feel special?

Well, I would hope your parents had let you know you're special and they love you very much and you grew up that way. But if not, perhaps Chuck E Cheese can make you feel special. The Family Entertainment and pizza chain and or Hell on Earth, depending what age you are and your kids are. The price is seven ninety nine a month, or eleven ninety nine or twenty ninety nine a month, depending on what level of membership you want.

Now I am like, I'm a member of Starbucks or whatever, but I don't pay anything for the membership. So this is paid membership.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, as you mentioned, loyalty programs are everywhere everywhere, but this has like it gives you privileges and the ability to reserve a table first or chafe you want to. Again, I'm not walking in there unless you're pointing a gun at me and you're willing to use it.

And I have to be pretty certain you would actually pull the trigger.

But they have examples where if you as a you know, diamond tier member of whatever restaurant Applebee's.

I'm a diamond tier member at Applebee's, there's this there's an irony there.

They give me the full ort automatically when I sit down. The ort, by the way, is the onion ring tower. I believe I coined that word, and the waitresses there actually bring that up and laugh when we come in because I believe I coined ort onion ring tower.

Get another glimpse into the celebrity lifestyle of one Jack Armstrong radio personality. But anyway, if you're in the top tier of the membership of whatever restaurant and you call and say, hey, my wife and I really hope and I have dinner at seven on Friday night, they'll say, well, we're booked, but here's a non member with the table.

We'll bump them for you, sir. Wow. Yeah, yeah.

So they mentioned consumers are bombarded with membership offers, such perks as free deliveries, first dib on new launches. Here's this thing that's one thousand dollars a month for the ultra rich to get access to hard to get goods such as Rare Keith Herring artwork.

Okay, I don't really like his art, which is a thing, but anyway.

I wouldn't know his art if he was standing in my living room painting the wall. I love it as much as I like art, I'm not really hipped to it.

I've learned a lot more artists since I got the frame, the Samsung frame hanging on the wall, because I change it all the time, but in different artwork, and I go through the art that they provide you on the membership. Speaking of memberships, I have an art membership with Samsung. So what's driving this mostly is it? Is it the idea that people will sign up like all the other memberships night Netflix and you know, Spotify, We'll maybe not use them as much as we think, but we'll never cancel them.

Is that the idea?

Well, that's that's a great question and really insightful For a man wearing saggy underwear, I think it is a combination of that.

The subscription model. Man, that is a damn cold mine.

It really is, just because we all have you remember that study we were talking about a few months ago where people were asked how many subscriptions they thought they had, and they all estimated it, and then the researchers actually came back and said, are you sure, think about it some more, and they encourage people to up their number.

That number was like forty percent of what the actual total was. Yeah, when they dug into it, it's like double what you think it is. Like the other day, I canceled my care dot com membership that I'd forgotten I signed up for to get babysitters. I was paying like twenty dollars a month for the last however many months I forgot I even signed up for it.

Oh wow, twin ski a month.

You wouldn't have that that You wouldn't have to have that many people that you could be living like a king and never doing anything right.

So anyway, that's one aspect of it.

The second aspect of it is an economic decision, like Target is taking on the Amazon Prime juggernaut with a paid loyalty program is going to be forty nine dollars a year as a promotional price and then ninety nine annually after it.

But members at tont members of Target to settled down. I'm getting to it.

Members of Target Circle three sixty can expect free two day shipping and free delivery of work over thirty five Bucks in as little as an hour.

Last week, I do the target delivery. It's pretty good. Okay, I might sign up for that.

But then the third aspect of this, which I get it feels a little sad, especially because I might fall for it, is getting back to the headline. This analyst, Valerie Folks, she's a consumer psychologist and marketing professor at USC's Marshall School of Business, says if they're seated earlier than other people, or there's a special line for them at the register, they feel like they're special. It makes them feel that there's a stronger link or bond between themselves in the company.

Right.

I know it's this is stupid, and I'm embarrassed to say it out loud, but I feel like I'm special at Starbucks because I'm.

A gold member or whatever it is. Wow, it's just dumb.

I'm proud of that kind of importanty, like I'm sitting in first class or something.

Over caffeinated, pretentious and saggy underwear.

There's no way to go through life, sub boy, sweetheart, this way, this way, We're in the chuck e cheese preferred line right.

Oh really so, there are a bunch of different examples.

We'll post this article at armstrong eddy dot com if you want to dig into it a little more. But surge pricing, which we were talking about earlier, that is absolutely coming down the line. Whether it's an uber or an airplane flight, or a restaurant table or even a Hamburger. Wendy's is doing this. You're going to pay more when more people want it. We'll see how that goes. And then more memberships, more subscriptions. That's definitely a big trend.

And all fitting in with some of this stuff, with the delivery thing that a lot of us had never done in our lives before the pandemic, and who knows how many decades it would have taken before that ever took off. If ever, if not for the pandemic, then you got used to the idea of drive all the way over to Target Park. What's my time worth gas? You know, I'll pay to have it delivered.

I hate to undermine our thing, which is yelling angrily about the confiscation of our liberty, ring the pandemic and the damage to the kids, et cetera. I won't get started. But I just thought of this when you mentioned the delivery thing. You remember when.

Grocery stores had arrows in the aisle and you.

Can only walk that way on that out in that way because of course airborne viruses they follow the arrows as well, and they would follow you long infect anybody who came after you. For instance, I got the witchcraft, the idiocy, and the denial of liberty. Again, don't get me started.

I got lots of places that still have the dots on the floor where you're supposed to stand in line, and they just haven't gotten around to pulling them up. And that was all made up, completely made up. That's six foot They pulled that out of thin air. It's hilarious and maddening at the same time.

Armstrong and Getty show, Yeah or Jack or Joe podcasts and our hot links.

The Supreme Court has never been as out of kilder as it is today.

I mean never.

The fact of the matter is that this has never been a court that's been this far out of step.

On Saturday Night and a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles, President Biden had a lot to say. He was very, very critical of us Supreme Court. I think there are probably Trump supporters out there who think that if Donald Trump said this about a liberal US Supreme Court, people would be like setting their hair on fire, saying, look at this, he's going after judiciary.

He has no respect for institutions.

Yes, yes, that is exactly right. Yeah, precisely, Thank you Jake Tapper of CNN for bringing that up. The whole game of Okay, So look at Joe Biden accepting a hunter's result of the trial as opposed to Donald Trump, who says it's an illegitimate case against his felonies.

Then Joe Biden's on stage.

Bad mounting the Supreme Court calling them off killed her and out of kild her, and he needs something to need be I mean, what what is this?

Even though in terms of cross intellectual divide decisions, the Court's been very very reasonable, a lot of unanimous decisions, there's a lot of you know, seven to two's that people are crossing the aisle. It's a terrible thing to say, Yeah.

Man, no president, should we go around bad mouthing the Supreme Court or acting like there's something you cannot like a decision and explain why you'd think it was wrong, that's perfectly within bounds. But acting like the Court as a whole at any given moment is something to not respect. Oh, terrible, terrible, terrible, And speaking of which that Supreme Court might be looking at the executive order Joe Biden's gonna sign today. So it's the anniversary of DACA, which the young black man who led him off stage the other night put through DACA years ago, the Dreamers, that whole thing to try to keep a whole bunch of young people from being deported. Now, Joe Biden's signed in something this afternoon to get a half a million spouses of legals or illegals to not be deported, whatever it is any who. The analysis of it by Mark Hauprin in his new letter today was this, and this is what I was thinking. Actually, by liberalizing immigration rules now, because that's a liberalizing rule, right, he's going to the left on this issue rather than going further to the center. Biden risks baking a whole new cake and making things worse politically. That is the idea that it's baked into the cake. People's views on Joe Biden and immigration. Well, so his attempt to mount a comeback since he's getting trounced by thirty to fifty points.

By Donald Trump on all issues immigration is to move further to the left.

The only thing I can think is that this sort of move polls really well with the young voters. They're losing, But that just seems like just such terrible political calculus to me. I honestly, I do not get anything they're doing on immigration in terms of the politics of it.

It's like a suicide, right.

That's why to me, it's a bunch of people have said Barack Obama let him off the stage. Barack Obama's been pulling the strings in this administration the whole time. If Barack Obama and his people were pulling the strings, they wouldn't be doing a lot of the stuff they're doing. They wouldn't be losing by thirty points on immigration. They wouldn't make this stupid move with the polling on it is. Is he under the sway of his far left aids he's the chief of staff.

I don't know.

It's gotta be that they're still in love with the Twitter crowd. They think that's America man. That is some that is missing the boat.

So before we get into the gender bending madness. Here's a little non gender bending nod and madness. The Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho announced the celebration of heterosexual Awesome this month. This month, come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here at the bar.

Wrote making a point worth making, and they made.

And it's clear that they have no problem against anybody of any lifestyle, but they will celebrate heterosexuality all month long, including hetero male.

Monday, we're in.

Any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will be rewarded with a free beer on tap.

That's funny. That's funny dressed as a heterosexual male.

There is much more to this shocking story in a constant first, an awful confession from a certain someone we know.

Who has visited this den of hatred. I went, and it's awesome, it was so much fun. Was your husband dressed as a heterosexual male? He was dressed as a heterosexual male.

He was.

And so my parents live in Idaho, and we were visiting and we went in and it was a Wednesday, so we got to have fifteen percent taken off of our bill because we were a heterosexual couple there you go, which is fantastic. And I met Mark, the owner, sweet guy. And what was really cool is this wasn't like an anti gay thing.

It wasn't that. It's just a bunch of straight people hanging out. I've never seen so many maga hats in my life. Well that's the area of the country.

Well, Katie, it might surprise you to hear that there was clap back on the internet. I could barely get through that set and say, no, this is horribly disappointing. I cannot handle bigotry and hate toward marginalized communities.

The Old State Saloon.

Addressed the criticism, quote, we love our LGBTQ plus patrons.

Don't use that stupid acronym.

We will not be changing our mind and given to the groups we are responding with vitriol, all are welcome to come celebrate heterosexuality with us in June.

I would say that the reason it's happening in getting national attention is that heterosexuals are feeling like a marginalized community because it seems like every other day and month is some sort of pride something all.

The time, right, and radical queer theories being shoved down our throats. And there are a lot of gay people too, and we hear from that. We actually got an email yesterday from a gay fellow who said, Hey, there are so many of us who are not down with sexualizing children. We are not down with feeding hormones to confused adolescents. We can't stand this stuff and don't like being grouped in with LGB t q I A plus minus bbq's it's sick anyway, moving along, I want to move swiftly. I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you for a drink at that bar. Idiot sounds fantastic. Congratulations Philadelphia, who set the Guinness World Record for the largest drag Queen's Story hour.

What is it with sexualizing kids?

Well, they're trying to sexualize kids, trying to get kids to buy into radical queer theory. The NFL urged their teams to come up with LGB t q I A plus minus divided by three BBQ Pride month messaging for June, and of the NFL's thirty two teams, ten of them said thank you. No, we're a football team. We're not going to do that anymore, which I thought was interesting.

Yeah, it is.

I'm just having a conversation with Hanson, with a number of businesses that are flying the Pride flag this month that I don't think most of their customer base digs it. Not from a you know, I'm anti gay marriage or anti gay anything. It's just I just don't want the political activism anything by this brand.

Well, and they've.

Become it's become clear to them again that gay rights has blossomed, if you will, into this extremely long list of very controversial things, and it's not about gay rights anymore. To the extent that it's about gay rights. I don't have any problem with it at all. Are there any gay other stuff? Are there any gay rights that aren't already one?

Are there?

No?

No, no, But anyway, fans of the Steelers, Browns, Bengals, Titans, Chiefs, Broncos, Cowboys, Packers, Saints, and Falcons, they're hold out so far.

It took us a while to get here. It was a long and comfortable period.

But it seems like corporations have decided, ah, we're going to stay out of all this stuff.

Right.

Yeah, Well they got swept along and cowed by the activists into thinking, oh, everybody agrees with this stuff, so I don't really understand what it means.

It seems a little odd to me, but I'm going to go along with it. Moving along.

Swing State Democratic Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania believes that concerns over males competing in female sports are based on over generalized and unfounded assumptions. Senator Casey is fine with boys beating the hell out of girls in sports and going into their locker rooms.

Keep it in mind.

His statements, which I could go into detail on, are just then unbelievable.

Then why does the US Olympics not agree with you? And so we've got a the Olympics are coming up here soon in Paris, and we've got some American woman who has a decent shot at winning the Golden hundred meter dash, and that's one of the best sporting events in all the world, just because it's so simple. Who can run the fastest, be the world's fastest woman. And she's hot, So she's going to become a giant house old name. You will know her name in two months. But I was just watching that, I was thinking, I wonder how many of the women that compete in the hundred yard dash and fastest women could compete against the men even close none, and that's no as always shouldn't even have to say. This is no knock on women whatsoever. It's just the way you're built versus the way we're built. And the Olympics recognizes that. How can our high schools not recognize that because.

They're they're captured by ideological radicals or scared. The Oregon School Activities Association will reportedly ban girls from speaking out against transgenders in their sport. High school girls in Oregon will soon be banned from saying it's unfair I'm having to compete against.

Boys or a free species. Uh yeah.

This all arose was when Aidan Gallagher, a high school sophomore, sophomore and a dude, eked out a win over a female runner in the two hundred meter dash Oregon School Act the state championships. The crowd can be heard cheering the female runners in the lead at the beginning of the video. Those cheers turned into booze as Gallagher edged out his female opponent and stole a win from the girl. Congratulations, you should be proud. Way to go, sir, Way to beat those girls. But I identify as a woman. I identify as a non moron, so I'm not fooled. So the reaction to that has been interesting. People criticized this man, this young man all season for participating in the girls sports and beating the hell out of him in most occasions. The years at that meet we discussed were a bit more severe. She said, why did you say she it's a dude? How odd?

Please? Anyways, so use gendered language to address everyone.

When the announcer called him to the podium, I'm the Seattle Times uses her to be a typo.

Anyway.

The crowd fell silent, and the others high school runners at the podium did not acknowledge him as they stood with their hands clasped behind their backs. As he accepted his gold medal, a voice in the crowd could be heard yelling, she's not a girl, She's not a girl, all right. Garcia expected the chiller reaction from the crowd, though she was quote he somewhat hurt. I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called, so I guess I expected to get that reciprocate.

But I didn't get that dude.

I know.

Headline from the good folks at bright bart West Virginia, trans athlete defeated girl in track events. Girls in track events over seven hundred times, according to one of the court documents that Riley Gaines and their people are filing and many attorneys general against the title nine perversions.

I didn't know what happened that often. Oh yeah, this this is a transathlete. AKAA.

Dude defeated girls seven hundred times in track and field competitions.

Beat every girl who came on.

Each one of those is a defeat those girls losing out on records, scholarships, medals, wins, that sort of thing.

Even if you're into the rest of it, I don't understand how you twist your logic into doing that. And you don't say to yourself, I'm a woman, I feel like a woman. I believe there's some sort of mistake in my brain. I'm a woman, but I have all the biological advantages of a man, so I'm not going to compete against women.

How do you not end up in that place?

I know, I know it's sick, it's a mental problem, and I hope he gets help a couple more real quick. Transgender convict moved out of California women's prison after being indicted for rape.

That's right.

There are several states in the Union put dudes in women's prisons if they say I'm a woman, and then they rape the women and then they get moved out again.

Cal Sorry, you got raped.

California's got a huge problem with it, with the guards and all kinds of different situations. Yeah.

Yeah. And then finally this again, a blue state slash city.

Student health clinics in Seattle public schools are offering cross sex hormone therapy to children. Communications reveal that neighborhood clinics offer the irreversible sex change treatment, effectively creating a school to clinic pipeline.

You go to your well, you have your.

Rainbow club transgender club teacher who is a neo Marxist activist convince you that, as a confused adolescent, you're really the other sex or your trans or whatever. They will send you directly from school to one of these clinics to get your hormone treatments, and they are forbidden from telling your parents. You gotta fight this stuff, friends, it's gender bending.

Mad. So I got a question for you before we take a break. The song from Arrowsmith, dude looks like a lady. What is that all about? That was like ahead of its time.

Like a cross dressing transgender person that they ran into. Then there's that there's a Killer's song had a body.

Like a venus, but she's picking a surprise.

Yes, so that wasn't a uh transgender thing, or I was, That's precisely what it was. But I'm losing the term.

What is the term? We say the term? I don't even know. I stopped paying attention to all this stuff a while back, and I've lost my Oh you can't, man, you can't. And then there's a song from the Killers where her girlfriend who looked like a boyfriend or boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend or yeah, exactly, another one of those situations. I don't know. I don't know.

I won't listen to the Killers because their name implies support for violence.

Uh. My niece was at a three day music festival in Boston a week or so ago. I guess it's one of the biggest metac festivals in America, which i'd never heard of. Anyway, the Killers were playing and her dad, my brother, was saying, I can't imagine anything worse than me a three days. That's what happens when you get older. It sounds like a punishment to that you're young. It sounds like the greatest weekend of your life you're older. And so he's like, what did I do wrong? Why are you making me do this?

Hundreds of US government employees complaining of sudden neurological symptoms known as Havana syndrome may have been attacked by Russia with a weapon using directed energy.

It's pretty nailed down. It's Russia and they're doing this to people. Are we pretending we don't know who it is or pretending it might not even exist? Because if you announce it, you got to do something about it. If you say, hey, yeah, Russian is Russia is attacking American citizens and damage them, hurt them very badly for years all around the world, you have to do something, don't you.

Yeah, Yeah, I absolutely think that could be the case. They're soft pedaling it to decrease domestic pressure to retaliate, and yeah, and what that.

What would that retaliation be? So that's the because we were asking the other day, why did the government, when it was a year or two ago they put out the statement. We think these are all crack butts. They're just trying to get a check. They're they're claiming the government did something so they can get a check. And uh, and we've seen no reason to believe this is actually a thing. Yeah, it's absolutely a thing. That's pretty brutal. Though, if you're gonna, if you're gonna call these people liars so that you can get out of the whole of having to respond all responding to Russia, biggest nuclear power on Earth, this is not a minor deal.

Yeah.

So I've been shocked at some of the reaction to the report. If you read it and or watch it on sixty minutes, it is extremely well researched by a trio of well respected news organizations from multiple countries. Jd Vance, the prominent senator and perhaps trunk pick for VP, tweeted the following, feels like a lot of journalists have lost their minds. Have you guys heard that Putler, working with drump and the Saucer people, has started attacking with invisible lasers? Just like that, snarky, derisive. These people are stupid in defense of or in denial of Russia doing what Russia has done for a century, which is try to attack and weak in the United States, whether in the guys of the Soviet Union or modern Russia.

Well insinuating it's like a hoax, just like the whole Russia got Trump elected thing, which was a hoax.

And uh and Adam shiff was a liar. But why why is he? Why Adam Shift.

Being a liar? Doesn't like Negate the existence of the KGB and its current incarnation, and the troll farms and the snatching up of American citizens holding them prisoner.

You know, witness Paul Whyland, Paul.

What's the Chriskovich from the Washington from the Wall Street Journal rather Evan some of these people on there's a chunk of the right that makes me extremely uncomfortable because they are really pro putin In a strange cultural, neo fascist. Putin stands up for right thinking Christian values. Thing that is just incredibly ill advised.

Right.

Putin's got this weapon apparently where he can scramble the brain of anyone he wants to scramble the brain of from a car parked outside your office. It's essentially a microwave type weapon. Yeah, that's a problem.

I read or seen a couple of headlines about gas station heroin, and I finally bothered to read one, and it's just astounding. I mean, the story opens with this gal who had a heroin addiction and got.

Sober, but then started.

Taking this stuff and became extremely addicted to it. It's called tineptine. It's prescribed as well. It goes by a number of brand names, but it's prescribed as an antidepressant in some European, Asian, and Latin American countries. It's not approoved for any medical use in the US, but companies are marketing and selling tneptein products as dietary supplements, typically in pillar powder form, claiming it can improve brain function and treat depression, anxiety, pain, and even opioid use disorder.

Those kind of things they sell at convenience stories.

I've always just I've never given them a second glance.

I thought it would be a sugar pill, right, well, whatever.

It is, it's it seemed like it would be horrible for me and either does something nothing or something bad. I've always just assumed the little bottles of energy or pills of this or that is what people are buying. Huh, And you get a da oh yeah, yeah, badly. In fact, it took her a long long time to get clean. She said it was just like opioid withdrawal or heroin withdraw longer, God, but longer God.

I need to tell my kids this.

Yeah.

So she was taking five pills every four hours, which she said gave her enough of a warm, fuzzy buzz without making her feel like she did on heroin, which is she was taking way more than is advised on the label and that sort of thing.

That that's what addics do.

She started to lose her hair and lots of weight, had auditory hallucinities, hallucinization, hallucinations. Good lord, h developed paranoia surrounding electronics at times, use ten cell phones at once.

Wow, Yeah, that's that's odd.

Yeah yeah, paranoid electronics like Saul's brother and better call Saul.
