WEBVTT - I Can't With You

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.420
<v Speaker 1>Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at

0:00:08.460 --> 0:00:12.860
<v Speaker 1>the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:25.950
<v Speaker 2>And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:25.970 --> 0:00:31.830
<v Speaker 1>Live from Studio C. C, senor. It's cry A, deeper.

0:00:31.570 --> 0:00:32.170
<v Speaker 3>Than the bowels.

0:00:33.010 --> 0:00:34.810
<v Speaker 4>The mouths, I tell you, of the Armstrong and Getty

0:00:34.830 --> 0:00:37.849
<v Speaker 4>Communications compound, and today we are toiling under the title

0:00:37.870 --> 0:00:39.270
<v Speaker 4>of the show, New.

0:00:39.170 --> 0:00:46.250
<v Speaker 1>York Times discovers Democratic Party. It's a very dryly sarcastic

0:00:46.330 --> 0:00:48.070
<v Speaker 1>observation about the fact that all of a sudden they

0:00:48.090 --> 0:00:50.370
<v Speaker 1>seem to be paying attention to some of the horrific

0:00:50.409 --> 0:00:51.850
<v Speaker 1>things being done on the left of the aisle.

0:00:51.970 --> 0:00:53.390
<v Speaker 4>Don't kick your dog when it comes to you.

0:00:54.110 --> 0:00:54.810
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kicking it.

0:00:56.010 --> 0:00:56.630
<v Speaker 4>Or if you prefer.

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:03.860
<v Speaker 1>Don't look at the NASDAQ. It's too scary. That's right.

0:01:04.060 --> 0:01:06.130
<v Speaker 4>Good job with the sound effects there, Michael. It's a

0:01:06.150 --> 0:01:08.750
<v Speaker 4>special Halloween edition of the Armstrong and Giddy program.

0:01:09.090 --> 0:01:10.590
<v Speaker 1>I've been getting ready all year.

0:01:11.250 --> 0:01:14.830
<v Speaker 4>Same old show, but occasional scary sound effects.

0:01:16.030 --> 0:01:17.069
<v Speaker 1>Like this one.

0:01:17.090 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Is that the only one we have? We only have one?

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:22.780
<v Speaker 4>We'll just repeat it all day?

0:01:22.940 --> 0:01:25.140
<v Speaker 1>No, I'll find more. That's good stuff.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.020
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. Play the Monster Mash as a sound

0:01:28.340 --> 0:01:28.900
<v Speaker 4>bed or something.

0:01:28.980 --> 0:01:29.940
<v Speaker 1>No, please no.

0:01:31.030 --> 0:01:36.750
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I saw. I'm so glad the election is Tuesday. Because, like,

0:01:36.790 --> 0:01:38.690
<v Speaker 4>I get up in the morning, first I pray. But

0:01:38.709 --> 0:01:43.009
<v Speaker 4>then I check the headlines. And then I see several

0:01:43.050 --> 0:01:45.570
<v Speaker 4>headlines that are, like, super interesting stories. I say, oh,

0:01:45.569 --> 0:01:47.430
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait to, you know, learn more about these.

0:01:47.810 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 4>So flip on all the newscasts. And they're talking about

0:01:50.460 --> 0:01:52.300
<v Speaker 4>here in Iowa voters think gas is too high.

0:01:52.500 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>You've got to be kidding me. That's so good.

0:01:57.540 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 4>You've got to be kidding me.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.410
<v Speaker 1>We've moved Pennsylvania to a toss-up.

0:02:02.650 --> 0:02:04.670
<v Speaker 4>Because voters think gas is too high.

0:02:04.950 --> 0:02:05.550
<v Speaker 1>Because of the war in Iran.

0:02:05.570 --> 0:02:06.870
<v Speaker 4>Have you heard about the war in Iran and how

0:02:06.890 --> 0:02:08.139
<v Speaker 4>it affected gas? Yes!

0:02:08.500 --> 0:02:11.580
<v Speaker 1>We've discussed this! Good God!

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:13.179
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know.

0:02:13.620 --> 0:02:17.109
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap! How can you sit there at that?

0:02:17.190 --> 0:02:19.810
<v Speaker 4>How do you put on a suit or a dress

0:02:20.260 --> 0:02:23.700
<v Speaker 4>to come into work and say gas is high because

0:02:23.740 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 4>of the war in Iran and it's affecting the voting public?

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.950
<v Speaker 1>How do you do that every day for two months? Oh,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.820
<v Speaker 1>they're so proud of themselves. Go off to their fancy

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:39.230
<v Speaker 1>cocktail gatherings. And that was an unfortunate expression I almost

0:02:39.330 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>used and gratify each other for their wonderfulness. The NASDAQ

0:02:45.780 --> 0:02:47.940
<v Speaker 1>going down because of AI? Did the AI bubble burst?

0:02:48.020 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Interesting story. Be worth, you know, talking to some experts

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>on that as opposed to the fact that, you know, whatever,

0:02:55.370 --> 0:02:56.810
<v Speaker 1>same old, same old about the elections.

0:02:56.870 --> 0:02:58.770
<v Speaker 4>Also, this story, and I don't want to steal Katie's

0:02:58.810 --> 0:03:02.470
<v Speaker 4>best headlines, but this one, this is what you've been

0:03:02.490 --> 0:03:04.630
<v Speaker 4>worried about for a long time with the world of

0:03:04.710 --> 0:03:08.850
<v Speaker 4>AI and everything. The world's largest crypto exchange, Binance, which

0:03:08.910 --> 0:03:12.250
<v Speaker 4>sounds like a typo or a speech impediment.

0:03:12.820 --> 0:03:13.660
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it does.

0:03:13.820 --> 0:03:15.119
<v Speaker 4>I bought my money on Binance.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.030
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like buckwheat from the Little Rascals cartoons of old.

0:03:19.090 --> 0:03:20.470
<v Speaker 1>I guess they weren't cartoons. They were shorts.

0:03:20.590 --> 0:03:23.590
<v Speaker 4>Hackers stole more than $ 6.

0:03:22.270 --> 0:03:26.030
<v Speaker 1>Billion before they shut it down. I wouldn't worry about it.

0:03:26.250 --> 0:03:30.570
<v Speaker 4>Biggest hack ever from the biggest crypto company in the world.

0:03:30.570 --> 0:03:32.930
<v Speaker 4>$ 6 billion before they pulled all the levers and unplugged

0:03:32.970 --> 0:03:34.380
<v Speaker 4>it or whatever so they couldn't steal anymore.

0:03:34.940 --> 0:03:37.620
<v Speaker 1>And one might assume that the folks at Binance are

0:03:37.660 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty good technically. Maybe they're really interested in preventing hacks.

0:03:41.780 --> 0:03:44.060
<v Speaker 4>I didn't even think about that. They probably have the

0:03:44.100 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 4>best people in the world on that job. Of course,

0:03:47.100 --> 0:03:49.220
<v Speaker 4>I didn't find that coverage of that story anywhere because

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 4>they're talking about voters think the price of gas is

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.870
<v Speaker 4>too high.

0:03:55.030 --> 0:03:57.770
<v Speaker 1>Trump is blah, blah, blah, undertow.

0:03:59.730 --> 0:04:01.870
<v Speaker 4>Being a hypocrite, let me say this. Why do you

0:04:01.910 --> 0:04:06.530
<v Speaker 4>think Trump canceled his rallies? I am very aware of

0:04:06.590 --> 0:04:09.230
<v Speaker 4>it just because he was doing one in Small town

0:04:09.270 --> 0:04:10.910
<v Speaker 4>in Kansas where I have family and friends and they

0:04:10.930 --> 0:04:14.090
<v Speaker 4>were all a flutter, either excited or not excited because

0:04:14.250 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 4>one of them was going to a wedding. I think

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.940
<v Speaker 4>they got planned. It's just like all the roads are

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>going to be closed and all the just everything was

0:04:21.020 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 4>going to be out of control with Trump being in

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.970
<v Speaker 4>town to give a speech. And but he canceled them.

0:04:26.210 --> 0:04:27.190
<v Speaker 4>And do you know why?

0:04:27.980 --> 0:04:31.020
<v Speaker 1>Well, didn't Halpern say it was because the race was

0:04:31.060 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>looking very, very bad and there was no point in

0:04:32.940 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>him being there?

0:04:33.740 --> 0:04:36.140
<v Speaker 4>That's what Halpern said. I haven't heard anybody else say that,

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.540
<v Speaker 4>although he has good inside sources in both campaigns. So

0:04:40.740 --> 0:04:43.690
<v Speaker 4>he would be saying that because Republican sources told him that,

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.330
<v Speaker 4>not because Democrats told him that, that their internal polling

0:04:46.350 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 4>says it's not worth it.

0:04:48.210 --> 0:04:51.370
<v Speaker 1>Trump said the opposite, but it's the political season. People

0:04:51.430 --> 0:04:51.770
<v Speaker 1>say all.

0:04:51.690 --> 0:04:53.909
<v Speaker 4>Sorts of stuff. Well, you can't blame him for that one.

0:04:53.950 --> 0:04:55.630
<v Speaker 4>What is he supposed to say? It's a lost cause.

0:04:57.140 --> 0:04:58.900
<v Speaker 1>No, he said he's doing great out there, so he

0:04:58.940 --> 0:05:00.770
<v Speaker 1>decided we were better off coming over here.

0:05:00.830 --> 0:05:02.270
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's not going to say, as a lost cause.

0:05:02.310 --> 0:05:03.950
<v Speaker 4>I'm so far behind, why even do a rally? I've

0:05:03.970 --> 0:05:08.380
<v Speaker 4>got other things to do. But now, MSNBC, and granted

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:13.380
<v Speaker 4>it's MSNBC, but they said... They've talked to people who

0:05:13.779 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 4>have data showing that Trump is doing more harm than

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.660
<v Speaker 4>good in certain areas by bringing the candidate up on stage,

0:05:22.700 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 4>which I.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:24.299
<v Speaker 1>Could believe is true.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.990
<v Speaker 4>He's got the lowest approval rating any modern president has

0:05:28.020 --> 0:05:31.490
<v Speaker 4>had going into a midterm. It's possible that you get

0:05:31.550 --> 0:05:34.589
<v Speaker 4>a negative effect when Trump brings the candidate up some places,

0:05:34.650 --> 0:05:36.430
<v Speaker 4>not everywhere, certainly, but some.

0:05:36.290 --> 0:05:41.930
<v Speaker 1>Places, especially in farm country. diesel prices, which you've alluded to. Evidently,

0:05:41.970 --> 0:05:43.890
<v Speaker 1>that's some sort of factor in the election. Wait a second.

0:05:43.910 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 4>We have breaking news. Breaking news, Donkey Michael. Diesel prices

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:48.700
<v Speaker 4>are high.

0:05:49.260 --> 0:05:50.180
<v Speaker 1>And it's affecting voters.

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:50.540
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no.

0:05:50.620 --> 0:05:53.020
<v Speaker 1>See, that's donkey abuse. You're bringing him out. That was

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.900
<v Speaker 1>sarcastic donkey use. We don't permit that. Sorry, Brandon.

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Ironic donkey use. That's my new band. We're playing tonight.

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.260
<v Speaker 4>Friday night. We're going to wear Halloween costumes.

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.070
<v Speaker 1>We don't have any songs. We've never rehearsed, but we're

0:06:05.089 --> 0:06:06.510
<v Speaker 1>going to get up there, and by God, we're going

0:06:06.529 --> 0:06:10.030
<v Speaker 1>to play fast. Yeah, and the tariffs have been really

0:06:10.070 --> 0:06:13.429
<v Speaker 1>tough on farm country, too. Complicated trade relationships with Canada,

0:06:13.450 --> 0:06:15.730
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. So, yeah, that theory's not crazy.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that's the same network that brought us. Kash

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Patel has just landed in Moscow when he was like,

0:06:23.540 --> 0:06:28.150
<v Speaker 1>you know, 20 minutes away down the highway.

0:06:28.610 --> 0:06:30.750
<v Speaker 4>Is Trump the kind of guy that you could keep

0:06:30.810 --> 0:06:32.830
<v Speaker 4>him out of your state if you showed him polling

0:06:32.870 --> 0:06:35.510
<v Speaker 4>data that said, yeah, I think like the last rally

0:06:35.529 --> 0:06:38.570
<v Speaker 4>you did actually hurt the candidate, bringing him on stage,

0:06:38.630 --> 0:06:39.780
<v Speaker 4>having him stand next to you?

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:40.820
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that.

0:06:40.860 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that he would. I don't know if

0:06:43.420 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 4>there's anybody that would tell him that.

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say if I'm Trump's aide who

0:06:47.180 --> 0:06:50.330
<v Speaker 1>has to keep him off the stage, I would make

0:06:50.370 --> 0:06:50.849
<v Speaker 1>something up.

0:06:51.910 --> 0:06:52.090
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:06:52.170 --> 0:06:54.109
<v Speaker 1>I would say, no, he's so solid. We'd be wasting

0:06:54.170 --> 0:06:57.669
<v Speaker 1>our time, sir. Let's let's let's go a little closer.

0:06:57.370 --> 0:07:00.390
<v Speaker 4>To home instead. But these teletown halls that he's going

0:07:00.430 --> 0:07:04.710
<v Speaker 4>to do from his golf club, they're not going to

0:07:04.810 --> 0:07:05.530
<v Speaker 4>do anything, are they?

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.060
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that I mean, seriously. Because you're so hungry to

0:07:13.940 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>see Trump on a screen because it's such a rare pleasure.

0:07:17.460 --> 0:07:20.110
<v Speaker 1>You're going to show up for a teletown hall where

0:07:20.190 --> 0:07:23.170
<v Speaker 1>he will mention your state specifically and some politician from

0:07:23.190 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>your state. I can't imagine being that excited about that.

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.500
<v Speaker 4>Like the town in Kansas he was going to. This

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.700
<v Speaker 4>is a funny story because I know somebody there. See,

0:07:32.060 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm from a world, well, some of you are too

0:07:34.610 --> 0:07:37.050
<v Speaker 4>are listening because we're on stations all across the country.

0:07:37.110 --> 0:07:39.050
<v Speaker 4>You're from the same world I grew up in, where

0:07:39.070 --> 0:07:42.210
<v Speaker 4>the idea of seeing a celebrity of any level in

0:07:42.270 --> 0:07:45.050
<v Speaker 4>person is just not, it's never going to happen in

0:07:45.070 --> 0:07:47.570
<v Speaker 4>your lifetime. And you don't know anybody who's ever seen

0:07:47.610 --> 0:07:50.300
<v Speaker 4>a celebrity in person. Whereas you can live in big

0:07:50.340 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 4>cities or urban areas or near LA or whatever, you

0:07:52.420 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 4>see celebrities around now and then, whatever. But like nobody, and...

0:07:56.610 --> 0:07:58.950
<v Speaker 4>I don't nobody knows who Tom Poston is, but he

0:07:58.980 --> 0:08:02.020
<v Speaker 4>was like a minor sitcom character who was on a

0:08:02.060 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 4>bunch of different shows.

0:08:03.100 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>In the 80s. Yeah, he was on the Newhart show.

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Yeah.

0:08:06.420 --> 0:08:06.940
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:07.180 --> 0:08:09.020
<v Speaker 4>But a friend of mine who lives in Salina, Kansas,

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.820
<v Speaker 4>where Trump was supposed to speak tomorrow, she used to

0:08:10.850 --> 0:08:12.370
<v Speaker 4>brag all the time about how when she was a kid,

0:08:12.410 --> 0:08:14.270
<v Speaker 4>Tom Poston came to town for some reason and she

0:08:14.310 --> 0:08:14.830
<v Speaker 4>had seen.

0:08:16.230 --> 0:08:16.300
<v Speaker 2>It.

0:08:16.310 --> 0:08:17.850
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's funny. I was just going to name

0:08:17.890 --> 0:08:21.970
<v Speaker 1>check the who is the assistant guy from Tool Time.

0:08:22.950 --> 0:08:27.250
<v Speaker 1>The Tim Allen show. Yeah, the bearded guy, the fence guy.

0:08:28.790 --> 0:08:31.310
<v Speaker 1>He would do a commercial for anything for about a

0:08:31.390 --> 0:08:32.470
<v Speaker 1>decade after that show.

0:08:32.690 --> 0:08:36.650
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Richard Karn. Thank you, Michael. Nice job. But so

0:08:36.690 --> 0:08:38.590
<v Speaker 4>if you live in the kind of town where you're

0:08:38.610 --> 0:08:40.630
<v Speaker 4>still talking about Tom Poston 30 years later.

0:08:40.870 --> 0:08:43.050
<v Speaker 1>Or you cross town to see Richard Karn at your

0:08:43.090 --> 0:08:43.890
<v Speaker 1>local Lowe's.

0:08:44.270 --> 0:08:44.569
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:08:45.270 --> 0:08:47.329
<v Speaker 4>Trump coming to town is a really, really big deal.

0:08:47.570 --> 0:08:51.090
<v Speaker 4>I don't know about a television. rally where you flip

0:08:51.110 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 4>them on TV and it's just another Trump on TV.

0:08:54.150 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 4>So I guess we'll see. We should start the show

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.460
<v Speaker 4>officially on Friday. We're going to fire up the daiquiri

0:08:58.500 --> 0:09:00.370
<v Speaker 4>machine here pretty soon and start getting a little lit up.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.580
<v Speaker 4>I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. On this, it is Friday,

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 4>October 30, the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty and

0:09:07.340 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 4>we approve of this program.

0:09:08.900 --> 0:09:11.860
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's begin then officially according to FCC rules and

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.780
<v Speaker 1>regulations and what a beginning it is. Here we go

0:09:15.140 --> 0:09:20.390
<v Speaker 1>at Mark. Whatever he's questioned. About this, Al-Sayed gets very upset.

0:09:21.170 --> 0:09:27.780
<v Speaker 1>He gets very unhappy. He stamps his little feet. I'm sorry,

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>my nickname for the guy is the Jihadist Leprechaun.

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Don't question, they'll.

0:09:35.500 --> 0:09:40.060
<v Speaker 6>Say it about his loyalty. He'll stamp his little feet,

0:09:40.100 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 6>he stamps his little feet. He gets so mad about loyalty.

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 6>He starts to feel the heat and stomps his little feet.

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.110
<v Speaker 6>He's the jihadist leprechaun, jihadist leprechaun.

0:09:53.330 --> 0:10:02.630
<v Speaker 3>The jihadist leprechaun. There you go.

0:10:02.929 --> 0:10:05.270
<v Speaker 1>Hanson, that needs to be twice as long. Get to work.

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 4>Ignore all of your other duties. I don't know how

0:10:08.179 --> 0:10:09.300
<v Speaker 4>this is the beginning of the show. I don't know

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 4>how many of you ever hear the end of the show.

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 4>You probably intend to every day, but you get a

0:10:12.780 --> 0:10:14.620
<v Speaker 4>little ways into it and you think, oh, God, again,

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.689
<v Speaker 4>I can't. I can't with you. And then so you

0:10:17.710 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 4>don't hear the end. But at the end, Hanson always

0:10:19.410 --> 0:10:21.459
<v Speaker 4>crafts some sort of very, very good clothes off in

0:10:21.500 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 4>a song. And that was a song yesterday. We just

0:10:23.020 --> 0:10:24.500
<v Speaker 4>thought it was so good we ought to play it again.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.020
<v Speaker 4>Stamped his little feet.

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>He stamps his little feet. He gets so mad about loyalty.

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.540
<v Speaker 4>The Hottest Leprechaun is a pretty good nickname.

0:10:36.070 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:10:36.970 --> 0:10:38.530
<v Speaker 4>Ted Cruz is going to run for president. He's getting

0:10:38.910 --> 0:10:42.340
<v Speaker 4>his game going, getting ready for it. His snark game.

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 4>His snark game.

0:10:43.179 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>His snark is big in the 21st century, you know.

0:10:45.380 --> 0:10:48.339
<v Speaker 4>I've noticed. We've got headlines on the way, clips of

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.740
<v Speaker 4>the week, lots of good stuff. Stay here.

0:10:51.179 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and.

0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.490
<v Speaker 3>Getty.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:11:11.830 --> 0:11:13.710
<v Speaker 4>We'll get into some of the interesting stories. You're about

0:11:13.730 --> 0:11:15.750
<v Speaker 4>to hear some of the headlines today and not just

0:11:16.550 --> 0:11:19.689
<v Speaker 4>rehash the same old stupid information about the midterm. Thankfully,

0:11:19.730 --> 0:11:22.350
<v Speaker 4>it's Tuesday and then we'll move on with our lives.

0:11:22.630 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 4>I got some interesting data about midterms that I learned yesterday.

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:26.540
<v Speaker 4>It's worth talking about.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I just researched my local school board election and learned

0:11:31.140 --> 0:11:35.060
<v Speaker 1>something that was very important. So remember, folks, remember, we've

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.810
<v Speaker 1>been talking about this for a while. District attorney, county attorney,

0:11:38.870 --> 0:11:41.860
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. The communists have tried to take

0:11:41.900 --> 0:11:45.940
<v Speaker 1>those offices over, and that's why there's rampant crime and

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.420
<v Speaker 1>bums and junkies in a lot of places. And school boards.

0:11:48.860 --> 0:11:51.180
<v Speaker 1>Remember to look at the school boards. Go ahead, Google

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.699
<v Speaker 1>the names or Bingham or whatever you want, and see

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.780
<v Speaker 1>which one names equity and equitable justice and that sort

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.209
<v Speaker 1>of thing. You know they're a DEI critical theory freak

0:12:01.230 --> 0:12:02.990
<v Speaker 1>trying to get on your school board, so pay attention

0:12:03.010 --> 0:12:03.150
<v Speaker 1>to that.

0:12:03.190 --> 0:12:04.350
<v Speaker 4>Critical theory freaks.

0:12:05.030 --> 0:12:07.459
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Carry your bags to your room. Sorry, that's a

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.140
<v Speaker 1>really obscure reference. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:11.300
<v Speaker 1>the lead story with Katie Green.

0:12:11.350 --> 0:12:11.730
<v Speaker 3>Katie.

0:12:12.150 --> 0:12:12.410
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:12:12.450 --> 0:12:16.890
<v Speaker 7>Well, all the major alphabet network, CBS, NBC, CNN, all

0:12:16.950 --> 0:12:20.590
<v Speaker 7>going with the midterms. CBS particularly saying their news poll

0:12:20.630 --> 0:12:24.070
<v Speaker 7>finds Democrats still boosted by voters' economic concerns, but many

0:12:24.110 --> 0:12:25.900
<v Speaker 7>don't think either party has a plan.

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.100
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:12:29.900 --> 0:12:30.140
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:12:30.460 --> 0:12:31.140
<v Speaker 8>Let's just move on.

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:12:31.420 --> 0:12:31.490
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:12:32.110 --> 0:12:36.510
<v Speaker 8>ABC, who pays for a $ 1 billion riot? Europe looks

0:12:36.620 --> 0:12:38.580
<v Speaker 8>past rioters to their parents.

0:12:40.020 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, interesting.

0:12:43.179 --> 0:12:48.460
<v Speaker 7>Wall Street Journal, Alphabet's market value drops $ 500 billion.

0:12:48.500 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 4>That's a lot.

0:12:51.059 --> 0:13:00.780
<v Speaker 1>Because? It's the AI something, something. The market. Chips. Computing.

0:13:01.420 --> 0:13:02.099
<v Speaker 7>Computing.

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.540
<v Speaker 1>Chips!

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:03.620
<v Speaker 8>Chips!

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>More chips!

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.460
<v Speaker 8>It's the second largest crash in history, though.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.479
<v Speaker 1>In terms of dollars?

0:13:10.260 --> 0:13:15.590
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it dropped 12%. Well, percentage is steady. Dollars is

0:13:16.150 --> 0:13:17.190
<v Speaker 4>changes with inflation.

0:13:17.970 --> 0:13:20.930
<v Speaker 1>Hang on now, because it could bounce back just as easily.

0:13:20.950 --> 0:13:23.030
<v Speaker 1>It's a snapshot in time. NASDAQ futures fell over 2%, blah, blah, blah.

0:13:23.110 --> 0:13:23.170
<v Speaker 2>AI!

0:13:28.820 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 8>You guys touched on this.

0:13:29.780 --> 0:13:35.350
<v Speaker 7>The Guardian, North Korean group blamed for $ 6. 3 billion Binance

0:13:35.390 --> 0:13:37.770
<v Speaker 7>hack in biggest ever crypto heist.

0:13:37.990 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 4>I had my buddy in Binance and I got back.

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 4>Binance got hacked for $ 6 billion. That is a lot.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Whoops.

0:13:47.870 --> 0:13:48.570
<v Speaker 8>New York Post.

0:13:49.630 --> 0:13:55.670
<v Speaker 7>Kanye West arrived unannounced at a $ 295 million Malibu listing,

0:13:56.460 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 7>set up an office, and crashed there for four days.

0:13:59.380 --> 0:14:04.420
<v Speaker 4>I need to know more about that. That sounds entertaining.

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:13.119
<v Speaker 7>From Study Finds, music makes the brain respond more strongly

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:13.990
<v Speaker 7>to taste.

0:14:15.950 --> 0:14:16.390
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:14:17.050 --> 0:14:18.130
<v Speaker 4>Taste food taste?

0:14:20.250 --> 0:14:21.170
<v Speaker 8>As opposed to.

0:14:21.870 --> 0:14:23.170
<v Speaker 4>I love that dress. I don't.

0:14:24.130 --> 0:14:25.510
<v Speaker 8>Oh, yes. Food taste.

0:14:26.050 --> 0:14:29.430
<v Speaker 1>Ah, hence dinner music, I guess. Down through the ages.

0:14:31.450 --> 0:14:33.030
<v Speaker 1>You know, if I'm selling a house... I want to

0:14:33.070 --> 0:14:35.630
<v Speaker 1>get back to the Malibu thing. If I'm selling a

0:14:35.650 --> 0:14:38.710
<v Speaker 1>house for what? How much? That's a crazy.

0:14:38.470 --> 0:14:40.290
<v Speaker 8>Amount of money. $ 295 million.

0:14:40.810 --> 0:14:42.850
<v Speaker 1>And Kanye shows up. He says, I like this house.

0:14:42.890 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to buy this house. I want to try

0:14:44.340 --> 0:14:46.290
<v Speaker 1>it out first. I'm like, okay.

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:46.620
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

0:14:48.100 --> 0:14:48.870
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think he'd let him.

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sleeping here tonight. Because he could afford it.

0:14:51.900 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 4>He could afford it, so he might as well.

0:14:54.070 --> 0:14:57.170
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's very odd, but let's see how it goes.

0:14:59.230 --> 0:15:01.090
<v Speaker 8>And finally, the Babylon Bee.

0:15:02.150 --> 0:15:06.470
<v Speaker 7>DHS agents seize Ilana Omar's phone, but decide to let

0:15:06.510 --> 0:15:07.450
<v Speaker 7>her keep her pager.

0:15:08.890 --> 0:15:10.790
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no.

0:15:10.870 --> 0:15:11.330
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute.

0:15:11.390 --> 0:15:12.370
<v Speaker 1>It took me a minute.

0:15:12.410 --> 0:15:16.940
<v Speaker 4>I'm a man. That joke was out of bounds. We

0:15:16.980 --> 0:15:19.989
<v Speaker 4>got Ilan Omar news for you a little bit later.

0:15:20.610 --> 0:15:24.930
<v Speaker 4>I thought this was an interesting headline. Pope Leo is

0:15:24.990 --> 0:15:27.350
<v Speaker 4>the first pope in history to vote in a U.S. election,

0:15:27.370 --> 0:15:29.150
<v Speaker 4>of course, because he had to be a U.S. citizen,

0:15:29.210 --> 0:15:31.030
<v Speaker 4>and he is because he's from the United States. I

0:15:31.050 --> 0:15:33.700
<v Speaker 4>assume he writes in Jesus on every ballot, doesn't he?

0:15:34.300 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>He should. If he's any good at poping, he would.

0:15:36.580 --> 0:15:38.420
<v Speaker 4>Everything from, as you were mentioning, school board all the

0:15:38.460 --> 0:15:41.950
<v Speaker 4>way up to, you know, U.S. senator. Jesus. Jesus. H.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.340
<v Speaker 1>Christ.

0:15:42.460 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 4>Write that in.

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow. That's not a thing. So, yeah, the reference to

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>New York Times discovers Democratic Party was a the Dan

0:15:53.620 --> 0:15:56.770
<v Speaker 1>Sullivan fakery story, which they broke to their credit. And

0:15:56.830 --> 0:15:58.850
<v Speaker 1>now they're admitting that, you know, way back in the

0:15:58.930 --> 0:16:03.530
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration, they're looking at Ilhan Omar saying her quote

0:16:03.550 --> 0:16:05.650
<v Speaker 1>unquote husband seems to be her brother. What the hell

0:16:05.690 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>is going on here? But they didn't really pursue it

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>much further. And those charges have been around for a while.

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.970
<v Speaker 1>Just everybody's like, I don't want to deal with this.

0:16:14.990 --> 0:16:15.290
<v Speaker 1>Do you?

0:16:15.450 --> 0:16:15.670
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:16:15.770 --> 0:16:16.070
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:16:16.670 --> 0:16:20.410
<v Speaker 4>Well, she's an America hater, and she would proudly say that.

0:16:20.450 --> 0:16:22.990
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's not like it's a secret.

0:16:24.670 --> 0:16:26.050
<v Speaker 1>In her heart, she's a Somali.

0:16:27.290 --> 0:16:27.590
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:16:28.550 --> 0:16:31.270
<v Speaker 4>So that's annoying and everything, and I wish she wasn't

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:37.550
<v Speaker 4>in the government. But all this stuff about... Whether she's

0:16:37.590 --> 0:16:44.220
<v Speaker 4>a legal citizen, what is that? Is that just.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>To enforce the law?

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 4>How many million people do we have that would fit

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 4>that description?

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.110
<v Speaker 1>Oh, therefore suspend the law?

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.090
<v Speaker 4>Literally like 15 to 20 million people that would fit

0:16:54.150 --> 0:16:57.270
<v Speaker 4>the description of being here illegally. Isn't it kind of

0:16:57.430 --> 0:17:00.150
<v Speaker 4>odd to have a drip, drip, drip everyday story about

0:17:00.750 --> 0:17:01.070
<v Speaker 4>one of them?

0:17:04.670 --> 0:17:08.869
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, I admire your principled stand there, St. Jack

0:17:08.910 --> 0:17:11.629
<v Speaker 1>of Assisi. On the other hand, you have an America-hating

0:17:11.690 --> 0:17:14.470
<v Speaker 1>jihadi who committed immigration fraud to get into the country.

0:17:14.730 --> 0:17:18.390
<v Speaker 1>I say heave her ass out. Simple as that. We'll

0:17:18.410 --> 0:17:20.629
<v Speaker 1>deal with the other 15 million of you in a second.

0:17:20.650 --> 0:17:21.270
<v Speaker 5>Hold still.

0:17:21.310 --> 0:17:21.950
<v Speaker 1>Stand in line.

0:17:21.970 --> 0:17:24.790
<v Speaker 4>All right, so we've got updates on all those stories

0:17:24.869 --> 0:17:27.870
<v Speaker 4>and clips of the week on this special Halloween edition

0:17:27.890 --> 0:17:28.850

<v Speaker 1>index and the rise in wages, and nobody's getting it.

<v Speaker 1>Can't you see? It's a graph. Well, I don't know.

0:18:08.940 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 1>If you don't get it, you don't get it.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 8>The gulf.

0:18:11.210 --> 0:18:14.530
<v Speaker 4>Between rising wages and yeah that's a complicated cost consumer

0:18:14.609 --> 0:18:17.260
<v Speaker 4>price index uh one of the stories we haven't mentioned

<v Speaker 1>Uh yes indeed much more coming up, so stay with us.

0:18:41.150 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 1>We failed to consider what we wanted to do next,

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:43.889
<v Speaker 1>didn't we?

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Michael?

0:18:44.740 --> 0:18:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no! Oh, no!

0:18:47.740 --> 0:18:48.980
<v Speaker 1>No, mental block.

0:18:49.060 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 8>You know, I knew it was going to be a

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 8>good day.

0:18:51.180 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I was up all night getting my costume ready, and

0:18:54.260 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>still nobody gets it. That's right.

0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.960

<v Speaker 8>Happy Halloween, Katie.

0:19:03.380 --> 0:19:04.900
<v Speaker 4>Suddenly refreshed.

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 8>This is great.

0:19:06.090 --> 0:19:09.129
<v Speaker 4>Michael's dressed as Lake America, which is also a concept costume.

0:19:09.150 --> 0:19:10.270
<v Speaker 4>It's a little hard to tell what it is.

0:19:10.270 --> 0:19:13.330
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it really is. I'm a tariff.

0:19:15.070 --> 0:19:18.330
<v Speaker 4>Katie's a tariff. A hot tariff. Because if you're a woman,

0:19:18.350 --> 0:19:19.179
<v Speaker 4>you've got to dress as a.

0:19:19.380 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Very typical. Slutty tariff. All right, I forgot. All right,

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.220
<v Speaker 1>leave me alone. It's the Friday tradition. Let's take a

<v Speaker 1>fun look back at the week that was. It's Cow

0:19:26.940 --> 0:19:27.620
<v Speaker 1>Clips of the Week.

0:19:29.460 --> 0:19:38.310
<v Speaker 5>Things get weird. Things get strange. This whole world is

0:19:38.510 --> 0:19:47.629
<v Speaker 5>so deranged. This is Cow Clips of the Week.

0:19:47.650 --> 0:19:50.780
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, who are you? I'm... Liberty Bibberty.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 3>We are wicked glad you're here.

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.980
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little, like, baffled, so they literally kicking him

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>out of this place because he's good at soccer.

0:20:01.670 --> 0:20:02.750
<v Speaker 5>You white lady!

0:20:02.890 --> 0:20:05.729
<v Speaker 8>I'm as angry as you are.

0:20:05.830 --> 0:20:07.430
<v Speaker 1>Get out of my face!

0:20:07.490 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm done with this conversation!

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 4>Back up, Ambassador. Back away.

0:20:12.820 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 8>This isn't Havana.

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm suspending the meeting. You're not going to intimidate me.

0:20:16.540 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 8>I'm suspending this meeting.

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.830
<v Speaker 4>Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is America.

0:20:21.910 --> 0:20:24.869
<v Speaker 4>Do you consider that Cuba is a dictatorship?

0:20:25.230 --> 0:20:28.409
<v Speaker 1>You know, that is what people have told me. We

0:20:28.450 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 1>have to set that $ 7 aside. for killing Palestinians?

0:20:33.340 --> 0:20:33.580
<v Speaker 3>What?

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.460
<v Speaker 1>Will you disavow? He said, yeah, absolutely. Do you agree

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 1>with calling him a violent terrorist? You're going to pull

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that out of context.

0:20:41.810 --> 0:20:43.889
<v Speaker 8>You're going to ask questions about my allegiance.

0:20:43.910 --> 0:20:44.470
<v Speaker 3>Let me just be clear.

0:20:44.609 --> 0:20:46.770
<v Speaker 4>This is Roger's campaign. I'm just asking you about that.

0:20:46.830 --> 0:20:47.790
<v Speaker 8>Don't be Roger's campaign.

0:20:48.650 --> 0:20:50.129
<v Speaker 1>He stamps his little feet.

0:20:50.730 --> 0:20:53.470
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, my nickname for the guy is the Jihadist Leprechaun.

0:20:54.530 --> 0:20:57.090
<v Speaker 3>Jihadist Leprechaun.

0:20:59.050 --> 0:21:01.189
<v Speaker 4>I looked at his ass, and I've never done that

0:21:01.230 --> 0:21:02.050
<v Speaker 4>with a man before.

0:21:02.090 --> 0:21:05.850
<v Speaker 1>It's true. And there's gold everywhere. What's up with the gold?

0:21:06.250 --> 0:21:08.950
<v Speaker 1>He's got the white ass looking like Saddam Hussein opening

0:21:08.990 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a cheesecake factory. The staffer for Peltola was asked in

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the summer of 2025 to find as many people named

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:17.899
<v Speaker 1>Dan Sullivan as you can.

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.050
<v Speaker 7>Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.

0:21:28.869 --> 0:21:34.060
<v Speaker 1>Unshakable, unstoppable, and champions at last.

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 7>You're the first ever Milwaukee Brewer team to be world champion.

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.660
<v Speaker 1>I'm so blessed. I owe it all to my Heavenly Father.

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:44.780
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing.

0:21:48.540 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 3>That was cow. Clips of the week.

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 4>So on the plethora of Dan Sullivan's Or is it

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:04.930
<v Speaker 4>the plural syllabi? I don't know. Do we feel like

0:22:05.010 --> 0:22:07.650
<v Speaker 4>the market should decide on this? Because I don't think

0:22:07.710 --> 0:22:11.030
<v Speaker 4>it should be against the law. If one party decides,

0:22:11.310 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 4>let's go find a bunch of people with the same

0:22:13.130 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 4>name as our opponent and see if we can encourage

0:22:15.020 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 4>them to run. Why would that be against the law?

0:22:17.820 --> 0:22:24.419
<v Speaker 1>It's in adjudicable. There's no role in the legal world.

0:22:24.790 --> 0:22:27.470
<v Speaker 1>to adjudicate whether this guy was sincere or not about

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.580
<v Speaker 1>wanting to run for the Senate. It's, it's a silly question.

0:22:30.619 --> 0:22:33.699
<v Speaker 1>Let the marketplace decide. I agree completely. And I think

0:22:33.740 --> 0:22:36.179
<v Speaker 1>he will. Oh my God, you're going to insult our

0:22:36.220 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>intelligence like that. You're going to pull a trick that

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.679
<v Speaker 1>childish and dirty to win the election. You got no

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>business in the Senate. Say it's the people of Alaska.

0:22:44.060 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps I have thoughts on that, but I didn't want

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.340
<v Speaker 4>to talk midterms again, just right here. I wanted to

0:22:49.380 --> 0:22:52.510
<v Speaker 4>mention this just because at some point, I think this

0:22:52.530 --> 0:22:55.310
<v Speaker 4>is going to be a big deal. Brain disease more

0:22:55.350 --> 0:22:58.110
<v Speaker 4>pervasive in the NFL than they even thought before, new

0:22:58.150 --> 0:23:00.450
<v Speaker 4>study suggests. So you remember a couple of years back,

0:23:00.930 --> 0:23:03.310
<v Speaker 4>they did a study of a bunch of NFL players

0:23:03.369 --> 0:23:07.070
<v Speaker 4>that had died. And of those that had died between

0:23:07.070 --> 0:23:12.690
<v Speaker 4>2008 and 2023, 25% of them had CTE. And that

0:23:12.730 --> 0:23:14.969
<v Speaker 4>was seen as a huge deal. A quarter of them

0:23:15.010 --> 0:23:18.370
<v Speaker 4>have CTE. This, you know, should we even be playing football? Kids, blah, blah, blah.

0:23:18.390 --> 0:23:20.070
<v Speaker 4>The whole conversation. We had it right here as a

0:23:20.390 --> 0:23:24.730
<v Speaker 4>talk radio classic. Well, the other 75 percent of deceased

0:23:24.790 --> 0:23:28.110
<v Speaker 4>players hadn't been tested. That's where they came up with

0:23:28.150 --> 0:23:30.929
<v Speaker 4>the 25 percent number. They tested some of them and

0:23:30.990 --> 0:23:35.659
<v Speaker 4>they had it. So now they've deployed all kinds of

0:23:35.700 --> 0:23:40.540
<v Speaker 4>techniques to get a more precise number. And published yesterday,

0:23:41.300 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 4>the estimate is that 75%, three out of four former

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 4>NFL players who died had CTE in their brains at death.

0:23:52.820 --> 0:23:55.500
<v Speaker 4>Bashing their heads together over and over again.

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.740
<v Speaker 1>Some a little, some a lot. Yeah.

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I remember predicting. I think I got booted off a

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.109
<v Speaker 4>sports talk radio station for saying this. Forever.

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, banned for life.

0:24:09.460 --> 0:24:12.060
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I got banned for life. A host

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.350
<v Speaker 4>of a very popular talk radio show in a major

0:24:15.570 --> 0:24:18.669
<v Speaker 4>radio market used to have me on regularly because he

0:24:18.690 --> 0:24:21.650
<v Speaker 4>was a fan of this show. And the CTE story

0:24:21.690 --> 0:24:24.189
<v Speaker 4>was hot at the time, so it must have been 2023.

0:24:24.190 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:26.460 --> 0:24:29.419
<v Speaker 4>And I said, I can't believe that high school football

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:31.460
<v Speaker 4>is going to exist in 10 years. I just don't

0:24:31.500 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 4>see how it would be possible given the way lawsuits

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:36.300
<v Speaker 4>work in this country. The fact that kids can't run

0:24:36.340 --> 0:24:39.300
<v Speaker 4>on the playground if it rained that day because of lawsuits.

0:24:39.619 --> 0:24:42.859
<v Speaker 4>How in the hell is football going to continue when

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.540
<v Speaker 4>you get all the data about CTE? And I believe that. But, man,

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 4>that has not occurred. That has not happened yet.

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:54.070
<v Speaker 1>Not yet. this this is a big story it's getting

0:24:54.109 --> 0:24:57.730
<v Speaker 1>a fair amount of attention but more than the immediate

0:24:57.750 --> 0:25:03.290
<v Speaker 1>effect it's just it it makes the case beyond really

0:25:03.350 --> 0:25:07.410
<v Speaker 1>any argument that soon we will be confronting the fact

0:25:07.450 --> 0:25:11.609
<v Speaker 1>that football is just incredibly injurious to brains i mean

0:25:11.670 --> 0:25:13.830
<v Speaker 1>it's the the tide is rising i guess that's what

0:25:13.850 --> 0:25:14.510
<v Speaker 1>i'm saying i.

0:25:14.470 --> 0:25:16.490
<v Speaker 4>Was at a high school football game last night until

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.060
<v Speaker 4>way too late it was an away game we did

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:19.939
<v Speaker 4>not get home till 11 30 that's pretty late on

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 4>a school night but I was real close to the

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:29.300
<v Speaker 4>field for a goal line stand. I happened to be

0:25:29.340 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 4>going to get a hot dog, and it's a high

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:36.570
<v Speaker 4>school football stadium, so I was like, right there. And man,

0:25:36.730 --> 0:25:39.270
<v Speaker 4>even with high school kids and small schools, so it's

0:25:39.290 --> 0:25:43.149
<v Speaker 4>not like these are behemoths, really, although some of them are.

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Incredibly large. There was nobody on my high school football

0:25:45.500 --> 0:25:48.780
<v Speaker 4>team even close to that size. But kids are just bigger,

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:52.350
<v Speaker 4>I think. We're all bigger, aren't we? But anyway, some

0:25:52.369 --> 0:25:55.150
<v Speaker 4>of the impacts, I thought, good God, that's a hard hit,

0:25:55.210 --> 0:25:57.430
<v Speaker 4>those two people smashing into each other, or those four

0:25:57.470 --> 0:26:01.220
<v Speaker 4>people smashing into each other. I mean, just two people

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:06.109
<v Speaker 4>running full speed coming together and said, ka-pow! And yeah,

0:26:06.130 --> 0:26:08.650
<v Speaker 4>that can't be good for you. I love football. There's

0:26:08.730 --> 0:26:11.369
<v Speaker 4>nothing quite like the whole high school football atmosphere. It's

0:26:11.490 --> 0:26:13.830
<v Speaker 4>so cool with the band and the cheerleaders and the

0:26:13.850 --> 0:26:17.580
<v Speaker 4>kids and all the parents. And it's just, it's so awesome, man.

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 4>That's a, uh, that's, that's a violent sport.

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, and as I always point out, every time we

0:26:21.980 --> 0:26:24.460
<v Speaker 1>talk about this, the big collisions are a factor of it,

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.420
<v Speaker 1>but it's the small ones over and over and over

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.500
<v Speaker 1>the ones you never notice that do the real damage,

0:26:29.810 --> 0:26:33.899
<v Speaker 1>including helmet meets ground. That's a big one. And yeah.

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.460
<v Speaker 4>And luckily the, the, you know, the, the, the serious

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.820
<v Speaker 4>injuries don't happen that often, but last night's game, I

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:43.020
<v Speaker 4>think there were five times play stopped with a player

0:26:43.060 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 4>on the field and everybody's kneeling and everybody's quiet on

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 4>both sides. Five times during game. That doesn't happen in

0:26:48.100 --> 0:26:48.659
<v Speaker 4>other sports.

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:49.940
<v Speaker 1>Hardly ever.

0:26:50.330 --> 0:26:52.550
<v Speaker 4>Like once every five years, it happens at a basketball

0:26:52.570 --> 0:26:55.250
<v Speaker 4>game and football games. It happens all the time. You know,

0:26:55.310 --> 0:26:57.790
<v Speaker 4>your point taken that that's not what this is about.

0:26:57.850 --> 0:27:00.629
<v Speaker 4>It's the repetitive bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

0:27:00.710 --> 0:27:00.830
<v Speaker 7>But.

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:03.180
<v Speaker 4>I just don't know where this is going.

0:27:03.660 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>The counter to our limp-wrist leftist rhetoric coming right after

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:12.700
<v Speaker 1>this quick word from our I'm-saving-people-the-trouble-of-female.

0:27:12.740 --> 0:27:15.160
<v Speaker 4>That's why I got booted off the sports station, I'm sure.

0:27:15.270 --> 0:27:18.510
<v Speaker 4>It's because of some sort of pansy. Put a skirt

0:27:18.570 --> 0:27:18.810
<v Speaker 4>on him.

0:27:19.510 --> 0:27:26.130
<v Speaker 1>Right, exactly. Transgenderism, too. Anyway, we're from our friends. It's Friday.

0:27:26.150 --> 0:27:30.369
<v Speaker 1>You know what? It's all you want. Hey, SimpliSafe Home Security,

0:27:30.390 --> 0:27:33.690
<v Speaker 1>what a great idea this is. It is different, SimpliSafe.

0:27:33.730 --> 0:27:36.889
<v Speaker 1>That's why we both love it in our homes. And

0:27:36.950 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 1>in principle, you got your smart AI-powered cameras watching for

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.260
<v Speaker 1>potential threats. They alert a live U.S.-based security specialist ready

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to intervene if there's some scumbag hanging outside your house.

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 1>The agents intervene in under 30 seconds, speaking through the

0:27:50.980 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>camera on your behalf to stop an intruder in their tracks,

0:27:54.100 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and they call for urgent 911 dispatch when it's needed most.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.780
<v Speaker 4>One of the amazing things about SimpliSafe when it comes

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 4>to home security is the no contracts. I mean, there

0:28:01.780 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 4>are millions of people using SimpliSafe and paying the monthly

0:28:06.700 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 4>bill right now because they like the service, not because

0:28:10.100 --> 0:28:12.260
<v Speaker 4>they're locked in a contract and, you know, waiting for

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 4>it to end. All these millions of people like me

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 4>are using it because they like it. It's good.

0:28:17.270 --> 0:28:19.930

<v Speaker 1>That's SimpliSafe.com slash Armstrong. SimpliSafe ahead of crime in real time.

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 4>You calling me a pansy reminded me that you're going

0:28:34.020 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 4>all Teddy Roosevelt. Back in the day, they had a

0:28:36.780 --> 0:28:41.200
<v Speaker 4>number of deaths in college football happen all of a sudden.

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:43.700
<v Speaker 4>And that's when you didn't really have any padding or

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.990
<v Speaker 4>helmets or whatever. And a number of deaths. And Teddy

0:28:47.030 --> 0:28:49.110
<v Speaker 4>Roosevelt thought that was just awesome. We need more of

0:28:49.130 --> 0:28:51.010
<v Speaker 4>that in America. We're too weak. We need men to

0:28:51.050 --> 0:28:55.010
<v Speaker 4>be stronger. We need violent confrontations and toughen up and

0:28:55.030 --> 0:28:55.750
<v Speaker 4>all that sort of stuff.

0:28:56.350 --> 0:28:58.030
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd like to point out for the record, Your Honor,

0:28:58.070 --> 0:29:01.550
<v Speaker 1>that I called myself a limp-wristed lefty as well because

0:29:01.570 --> 0:29:07.150
<v Speaker 1>I was making similar arguments. But the counter is obviously football.

0:29:07.170 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>A lot of sports is a proxy for warfare. It

0:29:11.660 --> 0:29:15.300
<v Speaker 1>is physically fit and tough young men testing their mettle

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>against other young men. It is risk and reward. It

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:24.230
<v Speaker 1>is courage and pain. And if we're such a soft society,

0:29:24.270 --> 0:29:26.970
<v Speaker 1>we can't even play a game like that because some

0:29:27.050 --> 0:29:32.070
<v Speaker 1>percentage of the tiny percentage of people who play it

0:29:32.230 --> 0:29:36.469
<v Speaker 1>that long to have a pro career, their brains are

0:29:36.510 --> 0:29:38.830
<v Speaker 1>not in good shape. It's tragic. And I don't mean

0:29:38.870 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just making an argument. for the sake of having

0:29:41.500 --> 0:29:45.140
<v Speaker 1>both the arguments out there, but we can't abandon that,

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:49.430
<v Speaker 1>or we will be such soft little cream puffs, it'll

0:29:49.570 --> 0:29:51.750
<v Speaker 1>just be a matter of time before our empire falls.

0:29:51.790 --> 0:29:53.930
<v Speaker 4>Well, I would never be for getting rid of it

0:29:54.010 --> 0:29:57.350
<v Speaker 4>for adults deciding on their own whether or not to play,

0:29:57.590 --> 0:30:00.020
<v Speaker 4>but It's going to be harder for the kids. I mean,

0:30:00.060 --> 0:30:02.940
<v Speaker 4>if they ever trace back a CTE that there was

0:30:03.380 --> 0:30:09.010
<v Speaker 4>a significant amount of it prior to adulthood. I just

0:30:09.530 --> 0:30:11.490
<v Speaker 4>you know, the lawyers, I think the lawyers will take

0:30:11.530 --> 0:30:11.900
<v Speaker 4>care of it.

0:30:12.450 --> 0:30:15.330
<v Speaker 1>That's a really interesting question. I don't know the science

0:30:15.390 --> 0:30:17.290
<v Speaker 1>on that. The young kids, I would point out, though,

0:30:17.310 --> 0:30:19.810
<v Speaker 1>to get back to my hard asked argument as I'm

0:30:19.830 --> 0:30:22.950
<v Speaker 1>trying to see both sides. I'm just thinking back to

0:30:22.990 --> 0:30:25.490
<v Speaker 1>my own youth. I mean, I was an avid athlete

0:30:25.550 --> 0:30:28.610
<v Speaker 1>and hockey player in particular. And, oh, my God, the

0:30:28.630 --> 0:30:30.850
<v Speaker 1>number of times I got my mouth split open or

0:30:30.870 --> 0:30:32.620
<v Speaker 1>my eyebrow.

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 5>Bell wrong.

0:30:33.300 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Got his bell wrong. Bruises and the rest of it.

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:39.260
<v Speaker 1>It was all the time. And if you had said, well,

0:30:39.300 --> 0:30:41.290
<v Speaker 1>we can't introduce you to any of that sort of

0:30:41.330 --> 0:30:44.510
<v Speaker 1>thing until you're 18 years of age. At age 18,

0:30:44.490 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I would have been like... I'd have been a different

0:30:47.460 --> 0:30:51.610
<v Speaker 1>person having not grown up with getting banged around and

0:30:51.670 --> 0:30:55.110
<v Speaker 1>thinking mostly that it was funny. Or, you know, it

0:30:55.150 --> 0:30:57.270
<v Speaker 1>hurts for a while, but you realize pretty quickly I'm

0:30:57.290 --> 0:30:59.410
<v Speaker 1>not going to die. It's going to be fine. Well,

0:31:00.350 --> 0:31:00.810
<v Speaker 1>you don't know.

0:31:00.850 --> 0:31:03.090
<v Speaker 4>Maybe if you hadn't had all the concussions, you'd be

0:31:03.450 --> 0:31:05.410
<v Speaker 4>a math professor or something now.

0:31:05.730 --> 0:31:08.590
<v Speaker 1>Sort of a disc jockey. Yeah, let me squint my eye.

0:31:08.610 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I see two of you right now. Yeah, a math professor.

0:31:11.300 --> 0:31:11.730
<v Speaker 3>That'd be funny.

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.630
<v Speaker 1>Would you call him a disc jockey? By the way,

0:31:15.730 --> 0:31:18.930
<v Speaker 1>may you burn in hell, sir. But no, you can't

0:31:19.050 --> 0:31:25.630
<v Speaker 1>introduce risk-taking and pain and toughness and all at age 18.

0:31:25.630 --> 0:31:28.750
<v Speaker 1>But from a strictly legal point of view, it's a

0:31:28.910 --> 0:31:29.570
<v Speaker 1>strong argument.

0:31:29.590 --> 0:31:31.930
<v Speaker 4>They do have stricter protocols, as those of you who

0:31:31.990 --> 0:31:34.730
<v Speaker 4>are in football programs across the country know. One of

0:31:34.820 --> 0:31:37.780
<v Speaker 4>our better players on the team my son's involved with,

0:31:38.460 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 4>He's done for the season because he got three concussions

0:31:40.820 --> 0:31:44.370
<v Speaker 4>in Hanwood last year and they have whatever division rules

0:31:44.420 --> 0:31:46.410
<v Speaker 4>or state rules or whatever they are. He doesn't get

0:31:46.430 --> 0:31:48.230
<v Speaker 4>to play anymore because he's had too many concussions.

0:31:48.730 --> 0:31:49.810
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of concussions.

0:31:50.130 --> 0:31:54.250
<v Speaker 4>When I was playing football, the concussion was a thing.

0:31:54.310 --> 0:31:58.050
<v Speaker 4>Nobody cared at all. Nobody was counting. Nobody called them that.

0:31:58.770 --> 0:32:00.310
<v Speaker 4>It was just you got your bell rung or shake

0:32:00.350 --> 0:32:02.150
<v Speaker 4>it off. Are you seeing stars? You know, that sort

0:32:02.190 --> 0:32:02.450
<v Speaker 4>of thing.

0:32:02.510 --> 0:32:03.270
<v Speaker 1>Get back out there. All right.

0:32:03.700 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:32:03.980 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>God, I still remember a couple of them. Oh, they

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>give me headaches thinking about them.

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:12.450
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow. And he's so disappointed that poor

0:32:12.490 --> 0:32:14.450
<v Speaker 4>kid and his dad because he just really loved football

0:32:14.490 --> 0:32:16.690
<v Speaker 4>and you practice and get all ready and summer practices

0:32:16.730 --> 0:32:18.460
<v Speaker 4>and two days and everything to get ready for the season.

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 4>Get a couple of concussions and you're done. Although dad

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:23.580
<v Speaker 4>was fully on board with I don't want his brain.

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 4>He ain't playing next year, he said the senior year.

0:32:26.540 --> 0:32:26.900
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough.

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 4>That'd be a tough one. I've known a lot of parents,

0:32:28.620 --> 0:32:31.719
<v Speaker 4>and then we'll take a break, who were hardcore, my

0:32:31.740 --> 0:32:34.020
<v Speaker 4>kid's not going to play football because of the CTE

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.239
<v Speaker 4>stuff that came out over the years. And then their

0:32:36.260 --> 0:32:37.870
<v Speaker 4>kid turns out to be big and fast and really

0:32:37.900 --> 0:32:43.350
<v Speaker 4>likes it and says, okay. So probably six examples I

0:32:43.370 --> 0:32:44.630
<v Speaker 4>can think of that off the top of my head.

0:32:45.150 --> 0:32:45.550
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:32:46.010 --> 0:32:48.150
<v Speaker 4>And if my son was big and fast and really

0:32:48.170 --> 0:32:49.550
<v Speaker 4>wanted to play, I'd let him play.

0:32:50.430 --> 0:32:52.010
<v Speaker 1>What if your kid's a half-wit anyway?

0:32:53.790 --> 0:32:54.830
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it does you some good.

0:32:54.850 --> 0:32:56.060
<v Speaker 1>I'm just asking the argument.

0:32:56.910 --> 0:32:58.730
<v Speaker 4>It's possible you knock some sense into them, as the

0:32:58.770 --> 0:33:01.130
<v Speaker 4>old saying goes. Mailbag on the way.

0:33:02.810 --> 0:33:06.710
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.

0:33:08.750 --> 0:33:15.130
<v Speaker 4>The Armstrong and Getty Show. Patrick Stewart's dead as a hammer.

0:33:15.150 --> 0:33:17.550
<v Speaker 4>We'll have our retrospective coming up later in the show.

0:33:18.170 --> 0:33:20.830
<v Speaker 1>Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day. This time from

0:33:20.870 --> 0:33:25.370
<v Speaker 1>Matt Taibbi, continuing our theme of elections. In a society

0:33:25.450 --> 0:33:29.510
<v Speaker 1>governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed

0:33:29.690 --> 0:33:34.340
<v Speaker 1>always defeats disorganized democracy. I've said a version of that

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:37.540
<v Speaker 1>for many, many years. I'd never observed it as clearly

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:41.780
<v Speaker 1>as when we moved to California back in the 90s. That, yeah,

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>concentrated interest shows up at the polls and defeats, diffused

0:33:49.220 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>just the common good a lot, unless the common good

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.980
<v Speaker 1>shows up. That's the story of California over and over again.

0:33:56.140 --> 0:33:59.830
<v Speaker 4>Moved to California 30 years ago and two weeks, like

0:33:59.830 --> 0:34:01.590
<v Speaker 4>30 years ago this month. That's a long time to

0:34:01.870 --> 0:34:02.450
<v Speaker 4>pay taxes.

0:34:03.490 --> 0:34:03.890
<v Speaker 5>Oh, boy.

0:34:04.470 --> 0:34:08.210
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag. Drop us a note. Mailbag at Armstrong and Getty.com.

0:34:08.230 --> 0:34:10.390
<v Speaker 1>Got some good stuff, so let's dive right in. Jashon

0:34:10.430 --> 0:34:13.340
<v Speaker 1>writes on the topic of AI making us stupid. Guys,

0:34:13.380 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I lost my ability to do math years ago, long

0:34:15.660 --> 0:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>before AI. I don't need AI to get stupider. That's

0:34:18.940 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a good point. If we're already halfwits, you know, what

0:34:21.900 --> 0:34:24.839
<v Speaker 1>do we care? This from Chris. Funny story. If you

0:34:24.860 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 1>want to lighten the mood, you're talking about the drunk

0:34:28.020 --> 0:34:30.140
<v Speaker 1>guy joking with his buddy on the plane that he

0:34:30.180 --> 0:34:33.260
<v Speaker 1>was going to hijack it and crash only his buddy's row,

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:36.489
<v Speaker 1>which is the stupid drunk young man thing to say,

0:34:36.570 --> 0:34:40.170
<v Speaker 1>but funny. Reminds me of something that happened to my

0:34:40.210 --> 0:34:42.509
<v Speaker 1>son in high school 15 years ago. He and his

0:34:42.530 --> 0:34:45.029
<v Speaker 1>friends decided to dress as terrorists for Halloween.

0:34:45.570 --> 0:34:45.890
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:34:46.630 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 1>They took a picture of themselves posing with airsoft guns,

0:34:49.260 --> 0:34:51.760
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. He used his wallpaper for his phone.

0:34:52.140 --> 0:34:52.460
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.550
<v Speaker 1>And so then I'm going to edit this. He gets

0:34:55.590 --> 0:34:58.050
<v Speaker 1>into a fight with his girlfriend, texting back and forth

0:34:58.110 --> 0:35:00.950
<v Speaker 1>in class and says, that's it. I'm breaking up with you.

0:35:01.489 --> 0:35:05.209
<v Speaker 1>And his girlfriend texts back. Don't do it. No, don't

0:35:05.290 --> 0:35:09.450
<v Speaker 1>do it. Don't do it. As the teacher walks by

0:35:09.630 --> 0:35:13.670
<v Speaker 1>and sees the wallpaper of the phone as his son

0:35:13.710 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>dressed up as a terrorist. Whole school lockdown. Cops, everything.

0:35:18.660 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh, my God.

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:21.380
<v Speaker 1>The full poop storm.

0:35:21.580 --> 0:35:22.460
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.379
<v Speaker 1>Yes. He's probably still on some watch list.

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.980
<v Speaker 4>Kids will be kids. My girlfriend and I were arguing

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:29.660
<v Speaker 4>about something.

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:31.100
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy.

0:35:31.300 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Probably ought to just cuff me. And then this, I

0:35:36.420 --> 0:35:39.550
<v Speaker 1>had not set my phaser for touching. In hour four

0:35:39.570 --> 0:35:42.589
<v Speaker 1>of yesterday's show, you mentioned the Call of Duty tagline,

0:35:42.650 --> 0:35:47.210
<v Speaker 1>Be a Hero, which I found very, very troubling. It

0:35:47.250 --> 0:35:49.850
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of a conversation with my 14-year-old grandson as

0:35:49.890 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I dropped him off for his first school dance last week.

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Connie writes, I told him I was a very shy

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:57.719
<v Speaker 1>kid who stood alone the entire time at my first

0:35:57.739 --> 0:35:59.940
<v Speaker 1>school dance till partway through the last song when a

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:04.069
<v Speaker 1>boy asked me to dance. That simple act salvaged my night,

0:36:04.450 --> 0:36:09.610
<v Speaker 1>and 50-some years later, I still call Frank Donahue a hero. Wow.

0:36:10.090 --> 0:36:12.649
<v Speaker 1>I suggested because my grandson has a circle of friends,

0:36:13.330 --> 0:36:15.089
<v Speaker 1>he might keep an eye out for someone alone. The

0:36:15.130 --> 0:36:17.549
<v Speaker 1>next day, my grandson said he invited, God dang it,

0:36:17.570 --> 0:36:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm tearing up, he invited a solitary boy to join

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:22.719
<v Speaker 1>his circle of friends. I hope that my teen who

0:36:22.739 --> 0:36:25.340
<v Speaker 1>plays video games recognizes that he can be a hero

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:26.180
<v Speaker 1>to a lonely kid.

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 4>I was the other side of that exact same story,

0:36:29.300 --> 0:36:30.900
<v Speaker 4>and I told my son that as I dropped him

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 4>off at his first dance ever two weeks ago. I

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:36.790
<v Speaker 4>stood there alone the whole night, no friends, boys or girl,

0:36:36.930 --> 0:36:39.890
<v Speaker 4>by myself, new kid in school. And some girl came

0:36:39.930 --> 0:36:41.609
<v Speaker 4>up and asked me to dance for the last song,

0:36:41.670 --> 0:36:44.430
<v Speaker 4>and we danced the last song. Changed the entire evening

0:36:44.469 --> 0:36:45.150
<v Speaker 4>and experience.

0:36:45.610 --> 0:36:50.670
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's a comment on the Jihadi Leprechaun song,

0:36:50.770 --> 0:36:52.590
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not going to rush through it because I

0:36:52.610 --> 0:36:54.830
<v Speaker 1>want an excuse to play it again. Stay with us.

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:00.380
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.
