      Today's media just wants to be Democrat political propaganda. It also doesn't respect the intellect of the audience. Old shows like Johnny Carson were made by smart people for an audience of decent, smart people. Yes it was frivolous and fun, but these were smart people and they produced content that respected us. Today's shows just want to be woke. So boring.

      @HardRockMiner: It's about 2 AM Saturday morning. Couldn't sleep so I got up and tuned in for some much needed humor. Years ago my then 11 year old son loved to stay up and watch a little late night TV when possible during the week (no school next day). One night I told him he had to go to bed for school the next day. He glared at me and in a very angry and gravelly voice he said "I know what you two do in there at night, pointing to the master bedroom, you watch Johnny Carson"! Then he stormed off to bed. He and his family live 50 miles from us today but as I watched this clip I was expecting the door to burst open and see him shout "Aha! I new I was right."
      Sure miss Johnny and all of the tremendous talent he had on his shows over the years.

    When Newhart did the skit about the witch doctor talking about his advanced age saying " I don't dance around a hut much anymore." is one example of the little nuances Newhart added to his comedic skits that always increase the levity.

    Bob Newhart, I believe, had the first comedy record that hit it big. It was 1960 and #1 on the Billboard "Mono Action Albums" chart for fourteen weeks. AND it won the 1961 Grammy for "Album of the Year." Many people today don't know just how big and well known he was "back in the day." The album is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." It is still a classic.

    This reminds me of a sort of a joke I would pull on people sometimes. You wait for a time when you are with some people who start talking about country music. They will likely be country music lovers. You say, "Have you heard about the big symposium they're having in Nashville next month?" (They will say no, because there is no such thing.) You say, "Yeah. Each year all the top country music producers and writers get together to discuss a topic to advance country music. This year the topic is 'Is there a need for a fourth chord.'"

      @TheologyEd Před měsícem +1

      People around 50 today definitely look younger than they did in the 70s and 80s. In fact, people in general had a more aged look when they were younger. Take a look at pictures of high school students, or professional athletes, in the 70s and 80s. 23-year-old elite athletes -- who you'd expect to look great and be really healthy -- look like a 35-40 year old man today. And what I find weird about it is that these people didn't necessarily die younger. I mean, Bob Newhart in the above video is in his mid-forties, and Carson is under 50. Newhart is still alive, at 94 years old. You'd think that if he looks 60 when he is in his 40s that he was aging terribly and probably going to live a short life. But: _nope_ . He's still around.
      I'm curious about the real explanation of what the cause is. For example, there's loads of evidence that testosterone levels in men have dropped considerably over the past few decades. Maybe these people don't look older than their ages. They just look the way a man looks when their hormones are properly regulated? That explanation is probably wrong. But, I think there has to be some sort of good scientific explanation. (Another option: Maybe they look older because their environment was more toxic, and we've done more to clean up the air, water, etc.? No clue, honestly. But I agree: it is weird.)

    No but if it's your family living in a homeless shelter together or sending the party guests back home, I'm pretty sure you'll get the guests out of your family's unfortunate futures and safely on their way.
    Ppl don't want to put guests through hard times so we want them out of the way of our futures as much as possible before we hold our family fights (hopefully in private)
