SPEAKER_01 0:13

Well, when you're my age, they're just chores. They don't necessarily are they don't necessarily fall under the uh fall under the um see here's that here's No see here's the thing. I want to talk to you about that. Yes, because mild cognitive disorder, you call it I think a mild cognitive mild cognitive um impairment, but we've decided, um my brother-in-law and I and and sister-in-law have decided that you can just say mild cognitive anything after that. So mild cognitive disruption, mild cognitive disarray, mild cognitive, like add any word to the third word, and you can call it that.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

Oh, I like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

Yeah, right? Mild cognitive. I can think of a lot of new stuff that I have. Mild cognitive um confusion, you know. Just add the just mild cognitive fill in the blank.

SPEAKER_00 1:25

But it but it but it's kind of normal with age, right? I mean, that kind of happens with age. Uh it's just a it's age-related to some degree.

SPEAKER_01 1:35

Well, maybe, but but my particular situation, which is not finding words, which is something that Bruce Willis, you know, is suffering from right now, which is frontal temporal um dyslexia. No, frontal temporal uh um dementia. Yeah. See, I couldn't even come up with their when you can't even come up with the word dementia, it means you have it. What I think.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Well, you do you think it's a precursor to dementia?

SPEAKER_01 2:11

I don't know. My dad, my my grandfather died of Parkinson's. Um I it I don't know. I don't know if Parkinson's is is um genetic or hereditary or I'm I'm going to get checked for that.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

I'm going to talk to a neurologist about to see if I have Parkinson's, I think, next month. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Well, tell me what these says. Like, tell me what I'm I'm very curious.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

Well, I'm I have a tremor.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:39

And so they're gonna test to make I guess they would test to see that it's not Parkinson's.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

Did that tremor pop up from something else? Like, or just one day you woke up and you had you had tremors.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

No, no, it it it it's uh I it's in the family, so my dad's side of the family, they all have tremors. Oh, okay. And uh they all they all take medicine and you can get it under control, right? But but theirs is like really bad, and uh like hospital studies, you know, go put stuff in your brain kind of bad. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know if it's that or uh medication that I take, which could also cause tremors, right?

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Right, right. Yeah, yeah. Well, I don't know, you know. Um it's gonna be interesting, I guess. For the scientists who are using this as part of their studying, I don't know what year this is right now. I'm talking to you. Um, do are are cars, do cars fly? I wonder if cars are flying at this point, because this is a study that'll be like 50 years from now.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

But they won't be called cars, they'll be more like drones, you know.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Right? I mean, I don't know. Well, I'm just wondering.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Well, you know, I think that the the f flying cars, quote unquote, of of today are just the drones of tomorrow. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

I wonder if people have jobs. Or if it's gonna be that un universal job.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

There's always people with jobs. No, but there's always jobs.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

There's there's they're talking about you know getting ri rid of jobs and just having a universal, like everyone just gets paid a uh you've heard of this thing, right? Universal you haven't heard of income?

SPEAKER_00 4:20

Yeah, you yeah, I've heard universal basic income.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

And so But that doesn't mean you can't have a job, that just means that you get money and then you can have the job or not have not have a job.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Yes, right, right. You don't have to have a job, right?

unknown 4:35

Right.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

How many, how many, what percentage of the population do you think would continue to have a job?

SPEAKER_01 4:41

Because they don't want to live on that little bit of money, or because I wonder if you would call it I well, I guess there's two there's subsets of all of this. How many people would just do that and nothing else? How many people would have 10%?

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Okay, how many I mean according to the amount, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:03

And what I see, nothing, I'm not saying they do, you know, they they just have their lives, or how many people would do that and have a hobby, like a like a that takes a lot of their time, or and or how many people would have that and have, like you said, just a totally second job or third job or whatever. I wonder. But this is all, you know, the scientists that are listening to this, they'll they'll they'll know that. Maybe well, here's funny. Here's the funny thing. Maybe those scientists aren't doing this for a job. Maybe the scientists are doing this for a hobby that are studying these talks that you and I have.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

Oh, do you know scientists now?

unknown 5:47

Huh?

SPEAKER_01 5:47

No, I uh any. I know a scientist. Actually, I guess I do know some scientists, yes. My my brother-in-law's gonna cure cancer.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

So he's so he's probably not gonna be trying to like figure out the what you have. He's not gonna be tracking my mild cognitive mild cognitive impairment impairment dysfunction. Whatever you want, whatever it is.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

What'd you do today?

SPEAKER_00 6:22

Well, that's a good question. I have been working in the yard mostly, like me. And uh yeah, I've been watering. We we we need rain really bad here, yeah. So I had to water a lot of things, yeah. Yeah, and then I uh worked on irrigation lines, yeah, yeah. Well, because uh that just makes sure all the irrigation's running as it should have gets clogged up with iron.

SPEAKER_01 6:48
