Hello, everybody. 00:00:13:10 - 00:00:15:00 Hi. Hi, Dennis. 00:00:15:00 - 00:00:16:15 We were just talking off air. 00:00:16:15 - 00:00:17:24 I love when people do that. 00:00:17:24 - 00:00:19:08 Like, we were just talking about 00:00:19:08 - 00:00:22:25 something really cool off air that you were privy to and was about. 00:00:23:03 - 00:00:25:10 We got new recycling bins here in Baltimore. 00:00:25:13 - 00:00:27:21 I don't want to get into it. That's off air talk. 00:00:27:24 - 00:00:31:18 You know, we don't have to do show biz here. 00:00:31:22 - 00:00:32:08 Hey, you know what? 00:00:32:08 - 00:00:35:12 What's more show biz than talking about our own trash? 00:00:35:20 - 00:00:36:04 Right. 00:00:36:04 - 00:00:38:14 I mean, honestly, it's just recycling, right? 00:00:38:15 - 00:00:39:08 We take 00:00:39:08 - 00:00:43:08 the trash that happens to us in the world and we present it to everybody else. 00:00:43:16 - 00:00:43:27 All right. 00:00:43:27 - 00:00:47:13 So the word of the day for us today is myopic. 00:00:48:05 - 00:00:52:04 And myopic means not able to clearly see objects that are far away. 00:00:52:18 - 00:00:57:24 Basically, my entire vision process, I have glasses, I guess, because I'm myopic. 00:00:57:24 - 00:00:58:20 But, yeah. 00:00:58:20 - 00:01:03:00 Figuratively it can mean being short sighted, lacking in foresight 00:01:03:00 - 00:01:07:24 or discernment or narrow in perspective without concern for broader implication. 00:01:07:25 - 00:01:10:02 Yeah. I think that word. 00:01:10:13 - 00:01:11:03 Yeah, 00:01:11:03 - 00:01:13:24 I guess that basically means you're near-sighted, 00:01:13:24 - 00:01:16:00 but I was thinking about it in the second sense. 00:01:16:00 - 00:01:17:02 It's like one of those words. 00:01:17:02 - 00:01:20:07 You drop that in an email that's like a real that's like, say 00:01:20:17 - 00:01:23:24 you in the work context without saying Jew. 00:01:23:26 - 00:01:24:17 Like, if you're like 00:01:25:23 - 00:01:27:01 actually 00:01:27:01 - 00:01:30:02 branded, I think we're kind of taking a myopic view here. 00:01:30:03 - 00:01:33:13 If we would take into consideration our long term 00:01:33:13 - 00:01:36:18 goals, as I stated before, I think, yeah. 00:01:36:18 - 00:01:37:15 Myopic. Yeah. 00:01:37:15 - 00:01:41:03 You drop out an email and somebody like, God damn, I really pissed this guy off 00:01:43:26 - 00:01:44:05 All right. 00:01:44:05 - 00:01:46:24 So this also brings up an interesting question about it 00:01:47:01 - 00:01:50:03 because I've always said myopic, just like you did. 00:01:50:13 - 00:01:50:20 Yeah. 00:01:50:20 - 00:01:55:12 I was looking at the pronunciation of of the work, and it says my OPIC, 00:01:55:24 - 00:01:58:00 unless I'm also reading these things wrong. 00:01:58:00 - 00:02:01:27 So here's the best part about working for things on the Internet 00:02:01:28 - 00:02:05:00 is we have a actual way to pronounce this. 00:02:05:09 - 00:02:09:11 Let me make sure you can hear this pronunciation and we'll see. 00:02:09:11 - 00:02:13:00 Well, we'll decide on if myopic is just our Baltimore accents 00:02:13:00 - 00:02:15:24 going in there or if it's everyone's been saying anyway. 00:02:16:14 - 00:02:20:29 Myopic, myopic, myopic, myopic. 00:02:21:26 - 00:02:22:10 Yeah. 00:02:22:10 - 00:02:26:08 I think I don't think we're taking the Baltimore 00:02:26:08 - 00:02:29:25 I mean, the Baltimore accent is funny with that, like a okay. 00:02:29:25 - 00:02:33:07 John Harbaugh is taking quite the value pic view here. 00:02:33:08 - 00:02:35:11 He should have Lamar Jackson carrying the ball more. 00:02:37:06 - 00:02:37:27 I'm tired 00:02:37:27 - 00:02:41:07 of the goddamn Ravens and their myopic views 00:02:42:15 - 00:02:44:06 be running the ball all the time. 00:02:44:06 - 00:02:46:00 He's start to get hurt, 00:02:46:13 - 00:02:48:06 I think. 00:02:48:06 - 00:02:49:24 Let me ask you this, though, Dennis. 00:02:49:24 - 00:02:53:15 I think this might answer the question if there's a movie 00:02:53:23 - 00:02:57:04 that's about somebody's life, what would you call it? 00:02:58:05 - 00:03:00:09 A biopic? 00:03:00:23 - 00:03:02:12 Biopic see? 00:03:02:12 - 00:03:04:06 Myopic biopic. 00:03:04:06 - 00:03:06:03 Some people say biopic. 00:03:06:03 - 00:03:08:27 Biopic, but I like biopic. 00:03:09:27 - 00:03:13:06 It was not too long ago that I realized people who say 00:03:13:13 - 00:03:16:29 biopic and biopic weren't saying two different words. 00:03:17:07 - 00:03:18:03 Yes. Yes. 00:03:18:03 - 00:03:21:15 Because biopic also sounds like a biography picture. 00:03:21:23 - 00:03:23:11 Like if you're talking about like. 00:03:23:11 - 00:03:25:10 The biopic sounds like two words. 00:03:25:10 - 00:03:27:27 Yeah. Big is two words to me. Bio space. 00:03:28:04 - 00:03:29:07 I see. Yeah. 00:03:29:07 - 00:03:29:21 And it also 00:03:29:21 - 00:03:32:28 sounds like you're talking about like it's like how somebody talks about movies 00:03:32:28 - 00:03:35:27 when they first came out, like, did you see the bio picture? 00:03:35:27 - 00:03:36:12 It was about 00:03:37:26 - 00:03:40:21 a Silent Banzai biopic. 00:03:40:26 - 00:03:42:29 Did you see that biopic of The Sunrise? 00:03:42:29 - 00:03:46:03 It was almost as if I was on the beach myself. 00:03:46:05 - 00:03:48:15 Yeah, that, that, that, that, that, that. 00:03:48:15 - 00:03:51:01 Yeah, it you see the bio picture of the train? 00:03:51:01 - 00:03:52:15 I thought it was coming out of the screen. 00:03:52:15 - 00:03:53:12 The killer. 00:03:53:12 - 00:03:55:18 You see, I don't understand. 00:03:55:18 - 00:03:58:12 Moving picture there, which. 00:03:58:19 - 00:04:01:03 Everything is just ragtime piano. 00:04:01:03 - 00:04:02:18 Playing behind that. 00:04:02:18 - 00:04:04:26 Do Yes, exactly. 00:04:05:01 - 00:04:06:27 Exactly. 00:04:06:29 - 00:04:09:25 One of the things that I love about the Internet is you can find 00:04:09:25 - 00:04:14:11 interesting, fun facts about words and ah, fun fact. 00:04:14:11 - 00:04:17:20 Did you know from Merriam-Webster about myopic is 00:04:18:05 - 00:04:21:18 myopia is a condition in which visual images 00:04:21:18 - 00:04:26:19 come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye as opposed to of your 00:04:26:21 - 00:04:30:23 the retina of your elbow, resulting in defective vision of distance 00:04:30:23 - 00:04:35:25 objects, those with myopia can be referred to as myopic 00:04:36:28 - 00:04:38:29 or less formerly nearsightedness. 00:04:39:21 - 00:04:43:05 Myopic can also be described, can also describe someone who has trouble 00:04:43:05 - 00:04:46:16 seeing things from a different perspective and considering future controversies 00:04:46:16 - 00:04:47:17 before acting. 00:04:47:17 - 00:04:50:03 Yeah, myopia is my favorite Tool album. 00:04:50:10 - 00:04:53:15 I know that's controversial, but. 00:04:53:24 - 00:04:57:25 Myopia sounds like how Baltimore Baltimoreans refer to their heroines. 00:04:57:25 - 00:05:01:03 Like, Hey, if you want if you don't like myopia, you can try 00:05:01:04 - 00:05:04:18 somebody else's opia and you will pay twice as much for it. 00:05:05:06 - 00:05:07:19 Last time I checked, it wasn't your opia. 00:05:07:19 - 00:05:09:07 It's myopia. 00:05:09:07 - 00:05:11:01 Get out of here. 00:05:12:29 - 00:05:13:06 All right. 00:05:13:06 - 00:05:14:10 So I think what we need 00:05:14:10 - 00:05:17:19 to come to a conclusion on before we create our sentence of the day. 00:05:18:05 - 00:05:19:10 We've gotten through two things. 00:05:19:10 - 00:05:24:23 One, the correct pronunciation of myopic, which screw you, Merriam-Webster. 00:05:24:23 - 00:05:29:28 We're going with my myopic, myopic, not my epic, which also I think Bo 00:05:29:28 - 00:05:33:09 sounds very Baltimore because it's myopic We're going to go up to myopic. 00:05:33:09 - 00:05:35:11 Then we're going to see the third.
