Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Jetty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and arms Wrong and Getty. Hey, we're
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast. One more thing.
Speaker 2: Find out where aver you find all your podcasts? Hold
Speaker 2: my calls. I got to work in a couple of
Speaker 2: sets of squats.
Speaker 3: It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I can't I can't imagine where those going.
Speaker 3: So even the radio ranch, full of slackers and fatties
Speaker 3: and stoned in.
Speaker 2: Its has a gym. An office gym. That's right. I've
Speaker 2: never I've been in it. I've never used it. You know.
Speaker 3: Well I was seriously about to use it when COVID hit,
Speaker 3: and then of course they had to lock it up
Speaker 3: so nobody would exercise this or something. Right, Oh the
Speaker 3: freaking idiocy. Anyway, This from the Journal of Wall Street.
Speaker 3: Forget the office, Jim, Welcome to the gym. Office working
Speaker 3: out or just working more. Gyms are encouraging remote working
Speaker 3: members to stay all day and do both. It's like
Speaker 3: a Starbucks with a bunch of weight equipment and ellipticals
Speaker 3: and then.
Speaker 2: The treadmills and stuff.
Speaker 3: So you stay all day, You work a little bit,
Speaker 3: then you do a couple of sets of squats, and
Speaker 3: you come back. You make a call, then you throw
Speaker 3: the iron, you bench press three hundred and fifty pounds
Speaker 3: ten times, like I like to to relax in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: I stand on that thing with the band around you
Speaker 2: that shakes you. That's what I mean. Beautiful.
Speaker 4: You guys doing this from a gym. I wouldn't work
Speaker 4: for this profession.
Speaker 2: Have you ever worked anywhere? This was very popular around
Speaker 2: here for a while.
Speaker 5: Have you ever worked anywhere, Katie where people sat on
Speaker 5: the ball to yeah, just strengthen their core.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised you guys didn't see me doing that in
Speaker 4: the San Francisco building.
Speaker 5: Mmm.
Speaker 2: May have. I just didn't want to.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it works? Yeah? And it keeps
Speaker 2: you moving. Yeah, it seems like a good idea.
Speaker 4: And all the rage on the internet right now. Are
Speaker 4: these treadmills that go under your desk?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well wait a second, they go under your desk
Speaker 5: so you're sitting and you move your feet.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah really wait yeah?
Speaker 4: Or under your standing, you can do both if you
Speaker 4: have one of the standing desks, like you can walk
Speaker 4: on it, and then they have a feature where you
Speaker 4: put it under the desk and you just keep your
Speaker 4: legs moving at a.
Speaker 5: Sense see that it seems like really uncomfortable and weird
Speaker 5: to me. I understand the walking on a treadmill while
Speaker 5: I work, but the sitting with my legs moving and like.
Speaker 3: Passively having your legs pushed along by the treadmill.
Speaker 2: What good would that do? Keep your knees limber? I
Speaker 2: don't know the ideas.
Speaker 4: You're supposed to move with the treadmill, not just drag
Speaker 4: your lap, but just moving anything.
Speaker 2: I suppose better is better than sitting still. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 2: breaking news, breaking news. I just got a text from
Speaker 2: Don Donald Trump Junior. It was a long text.
Speaker 3: Well what it includes a picture of his bearded countenance.
Speaker 3: Look at that, Hi, Joseph Don Junior. Here as a
Speaker 3: loyal supporter of my father. I'm reaching out on the
Speaker 3: behalf of Senate Republicans because they desperately need your help.
Speaker 3: After reviewing your donor profile, I believe you're the right
Speaker 3: person for this job. Your donor profile is you have money.
Speaker 3: Oh and I'm certainly a crazed right winger. So he's
Speaker 3: trying to raise money allegedly for the Senate Republicans. That's
Speaker 3: not super on brand for the Trump family. I don't
Speaker 3: get these fundraising emails at a lot of cartons.
Speaker 2: This might be completely a scammed.
Speaker 5: Right right right, You have to watch out for that. Yeah, hey,
Speaker 5: back to the working out at work thing.
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: So Ka, do you've actually seen people with the treadmills
Speaker 4: under the desk not the treadmills. I saw a woman
Speaker 4: who had a bike like the pedals under her desk.
Speaker 4: She used to have that all disco, but I could
Speaker 4: see doing that.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 5: I feel like that's a habit that once you got
Speaker 5: into you could just you could work regularly and it'd.
Speaker 2: Be great for you. I think that's a terrific idea.
Speaker 3: I got to try the ball maybe at home because
Speaker 3: the desks are too high in the studio. But I
Speaker 3: have I haven't talked about this on the air at all,
Speaker 3: but just sitting on the exercise ball thing. But I
Speaker 3: am suffering terribly from sciatica at this point. Oh it's
Speaker 3: it's it's like crazy painful.
Speaker 2: I know what it is and I know it can
Speaker 2: be dealt with.
Speaker 3: So I observed many years ago, just to myself that
Speaker 3: fear is the worst component of pain.
Speaker 2: Now, pain itself is bad, but like as a kid.
Speaker 3: Things that that hurt also terrified you because you know
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be terrified, so you avoid them so
Speaker 3: you survive. But as an adult, like getting a shot,
Speaker 3: getting dental work done, you know, there are a hundred
Speaker 3: things that are they hurt.
Speaker 2: None of it hurts as much as stubbing your toe
Speaker 2: really hard.
Speaker 3: Oh right, that, yeah, that's true, that's that's brutal, but anyway.
Speaker 5: Seventy all the time, and you don't fall apart over it.
Speaker 5: When you stub your toe or hit your head and
Speaker 5: getting on the cabinet or what all that stuff hurts
Speaker 5: more than getting a shot.
Speaker 4: And you're time to psych yourself out with those. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it is the fear. It's the fear part that
Speaker 4: makes it so right bad.
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna be okay in thirty seconds to
Speaker 3: two minutes, right, so you don't freak out in the
Speaker 3: same way. And it's the same with me. I know
Speaker 3: what sciatic it is, I know how to treat it.
Speaker 3: I know eventually it'll be fine, but it's brutally painful,
Speaker 3: but so I'm trying to work on my core.
Speaker 5: Is that a disease or a back thing? I mean,
Speaker 5: I know it's a back thing, but is it? It's
Speaker 5: pressure on the sciatic nerve general. You know a number
Speaker 5: of things can cause it.
Speaker 3: Most commonly, it's that like you're getting older and you
Speaker 3: aren't flexible enough and your muscles are so tight they're
Speaker 3: in effect pulling your spine in a way that's bad.
Speaker 2: That puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Speaker 3: It can also be like a serious slip disc or
Speaker 3: a tumor or something like that. But with the vast
Speaker 3: majority of people, you just need to work on fitness
Speaker 3: and flexibility.
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm doing. Fine, I think sitting on
Speaker 2: the ball might help. I bought a motorcycle from a
Speaker 2: guy who got sciatica and he couldn't ride it anymore. Mmm.
Speaker 5: Wow, So I I really beent him over. I mean
Speaker 5: because he had no choice. He had to sell it
Speaker 5: because he was in so much pain. Yeah, that's just
Speaker 5: smart business, Jesus.
Speaker 2: I didn't literally bend him over because that had been
Speaker 2: too painful. Yes, yeah, because he's got siatic thing. Anyway,
Speaker 2: back to the gym. So the idea is you go
Speaker 2: and you hang out all day long and.
Speaker 3: You do work as necessary, but during your breaks you
Speaker 3: pump iron or get on the treadmill or whatever, like.
Speaker 2: The people who hang out in the Starbucks all damn
Speaker 2: day long.
Speaker 5: Remember we had the two guys in the newsroom Michael
Speaker 5: throw around the medicine.
Speaker 2: Ball, medicine ball, and they brought donuts every day. Do
Speaker 2: you remember that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that was just a mocking all the rest
Speaker 5: of us. That was that was that was a level
Speaker 5: beyond Katie. This was before your time. So these guys,
Speaker 5: they were super workout fiends and like really buff and
Speaker 5: everything like that. Nice guys, but they would have a
Speaker 5: medicine ball and while they were working in the like newspit,
Speaker 5: they'd throw the medicine ball back and forth while they
Speaker 5: were talking, kind of like what Joe was talking about.
Speaker 5: But they also would buy donuts and they wouldn't eat
Speaker 5: any of them themselves, just to like prey upon the
Speaker 5: weakness of the rest of us who weren't as fit
Speaker 5: as them.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't like that at all.
Speaker 3: That's that's satanic. Yeah, I mean literally like Satan being
Speaker 3: the Great Temp Tour, you.
Speaker 4: Know, the the gym Planet Fitness yeah, sure, so I
Speaker 4: I this was years ago. I'm hoping they don't still
Speaker 4: do this, but I I dropped my membership there because
Speaker 4: I went in and I found out that on Friday.
Speaker 2: Nights they have pizza, Yes, and.
Speaker 4: Pizza place, And then there was a bowl of TUTSI
Speaker 4: rolls on the way out by the register, and I'm going,
Speaker 4: what are we doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 3: This is exactly like politicians who want to have the problem,
Speaker 3: not solve the problem. Because if you're super fit and
Speaker 3: healthy and all, you might think, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: need to go belong to a gym. I'll just stay
Speaker 3: in reasonable shap.
Speaker 2: No, they got to keep you fat.
Speaker 5: I'm into fitness, fitness, pizza into my mouth, yem.
Speaker 3: So here's one GALLO does this by going into this
Speaker 3: space and not coming back home. I'm going through these
Speaker 3: movements of the day more intentionally. There's less distraction, and
Speaker 3: I'm able to set up work more efficient.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm not doing, going through my movements intentionally.
Speaker 2: I knew it. I didn't want to say anything, but right, Yes.
Speaker 3: Gym's were once wary of letting the remote work vases
Speaker 3: zoom from their lobbies and locker rooms. Now they see
Speaker 3: an opportunity and offering extra desks, offices, and outlets. Some
Speaker 3: are creating coworking spaces to separate the extension court wielders
Speaker 3: from the pandex crowd.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have to be that clever.
Speaker 3: Other gyms are charging extra and offering entire floors for
Speaker 3: clients to stay in work all day.
Speaker 5: A lot of what this is pointing out, though, is
Speaker 5: the fact that we all could exercise a lot more
Speaker 5: than we want. The excuse that I make, I'll just
Speaker 5: focus on myself of being too busy or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's just it's just a lie. I mean, there's all
Speaker 2: kinds of things I could. I could.
Speaker 5: I could be doing curls while I'm watching the news,
Speaker 5: or on the treadmill more often like you do, or whatever,
Speaker 5: and I just don't. I mean, there's lots of stuff
Speaker 5: we could all do.
Speaker 2: We just don't. You know why, because I don't want to.
Speaker 2: Because it's easier not to. That's why. That's fair. Now,
Speaker 2: that's remarkable honesty. Yeah. My my only tip is start
Speaker 2: with a little yeah. Yeah, that's that is the key.
Speaker 2: Doing something is so much better than doing nothing. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Like every level of doing something makes you healthier, live longer,
Speaker 3: and happier. And so if all you can muster up
Speaker 3: is kind of.
Speaker 2: Me do met.
Speaker 5: I did this to myself recently, and I've been preaching
Speaker 5: this for years, but I did this to myself recently
Speaker 5: when I came out with this workout thing, because I
Speaker 5: got a bench and dumbbells and all this sort of stuff,
Speaker 5: and there's like three exercises I was doing every day. Well,
Speaker 5: it took like a half an hour, and so I
Speaker 5: did that routinely for like nine months or something like that.
Speaker 5: But then in the half an hour every time and
Speaker 5: the kids got out of school in his business, I'm well,
Speaker 5: how about instead of doing the whole half hour, you
Speaker 5: just do one of those things for ten minutes.
Speaker 2: I could do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the if you got to change clothes, drive
Speaker 5: to the gym, work out for an hour and a half,
Speaker 5: take a shour, change clothes, drive back, and you got
Speaker 5: like this two hour commitment.
Speaker 2: No, you can't fit that into your life, right right.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan, And partly it's the nature of
Speaker 3: my job, so maybe easier for me than others. But
Speaker 3: I never exercised that I'm not taking in news or
Speaker 3: information or a podcast.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't.
Speaker 5: I just I don't have the I know plenty of
Speaker 5: meatheads worked out of gym's all the time.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're healthier than me mentally.
Speaker 5: They probably are, but could just lift weights and do
Speaker 5: all that sort of stuff, just staring at the ceiling
Speaker 5: all day long.
Speaker 2: I can't do that. No, it makes me insane. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now I do like to strip shirtless and look at
Speaker 3: my shaved, oiled body taking I.
Speaker 2: Do a lot of poison in the mirror. One of these.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh that's a good one. One of those.
Speaker 2: Oh look at that one. Yeah, don't ever do that again.
Speaker 2: This is fantastic. I took a turn. Folks.
Speaker 8: You know, I resent those two guys that we used
Speaker 8: to work with. They'd get themselves strong and they'd fatten
Speaker 8: the rest of us up.
Speaker 2: Suck.
Speaker 3: It's the Armstrong E Getdy Show, featuring our podcast One
Speaker 3: more Thing. Download it, subscribe to it wherever you like
Speaker 3: to get podcasts.
Speaker 5: Anyway, as we learned in the hearing yesterday, we have
Speaker 5: been visited by aliens, and one actually came down and
Speaker 5: met with a bunch of Earth leaders about the whole
Speaker 5: human gender situation. So this alien comes to planet Earth,
Speaker 5: particularly in the United States, and finds out that we
Speaker 5: have a thing about genders and more than one gender
Speaker 5: that they hadn't encountered on their planet. That's the setup
Speaker 5: to this Babylon Bee comedy bit. So you're gonna hear
Speaker 5: kind of a weird voice. That's the alien sitting at
Speaker 5: the hall, at the head of a boardroom table. I
Speaker 5: don't know how this occurs, but they're like in the
Speaker 5: board's kind of the take me to your leader thing.
Speaker 3: He's come into the you know, the halls of power
Speaker 3: and said, all right, I'm in charge.
Speaker 5: Now, and he's talking to a whole bunch of business
Speaker 5: people or Americans or.
Speaker 2: Something like that. Government officials, government officials. Okay, well here's
Speaker 2: how it goes.
Speaker 7: General Floyd, thank you for agreeing to meet with us today. Well,
Speaker 7: I'm giving you a chance to beg and pleat.
Speaker 9: I say, we just joy Your planet is my favorite partner.
Speaker 9: The job they've destroyers, we don't deserve it.
Speaker 2: The looks on their faces, it's a hoot.
Speaker 10: Perhaps we should start out by introducing ourselves. I'm Chief
Speaker 10: of Space Operations, General Foreman.
Speaker 11: He him Under Secretary of State Angus Miller, he him.
Speaker 12: Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Amanda Williams she her?
Speaker 9: And what exactly is a chief Diversity and Inclusion officer.
Speaker 7: It's my job to be a black woman.
Speaker 2: Well, good job.
Speaker 7: Then, And what is this?
Speaker 9: He? Him, she her?
Speaker 7: Which you are all speaking?
Speaker 12: Those are our gender pronouns, so you know which gender
Speaker 12: we identify as.
Speaker 9: I appreciate that, but I am pretty good at telling
Speaker 9: the difference between the two genders a man, man woman.
Speaker 7: Now that I was a lucky guess. But there are
Speaker 7: way more than just two genders.
Speaker 2: Fascinating.
Speaker 9: We've been probing humans for years and I have only
Speaker 9: discovered the two. How many genders.
Speaker 7: Are there too? It's hard to know. Really, it's changing
Speaker 7: all the time.
Speaker 9: So your species is evolving that rapidly remarkable. Perhaps while
Speaker 9: you are sitting here you will grow additional limbs or
Speaker 9: developed the ability to breathe underwater. Well, that's not what
Speaker 9: we meant. It's too bad. I breathe on don't water.
Speaker 9: It's a lot of fun. If you threw twenty pennies
Speaker 9: into a pool, I could dive down and pick them
Speaker 9: all up without ever.
Speaker 7: What's reservicing pool.
Speaker 2: What no applause?
Speaker 9: So what are these genders and how do they function?
Speaker 7: Function?
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 6: Oh yes, on.
Speaker 9: My planets, the female gender is the giver of life,
Speaker 9: raising and nurturing our young, preserving our civilization for eons to.
Speaker 7: Come, while the males mostly just mow.
Speaker 9: Our space loans and make multiple trips to space on depout.
Speaker 12: What you're talking about is sex. Gender is something different exactly.
Speaker 11: People can identify with genders different than their natal sex
Speaker 11: or with none at all.
Speaker 6: But why.
Speaker 2: It's just the way we feel.
Speaker 7: No, it was the way we're born.
Speaker 11: Well, of course, a lot of times they don't realiz
Speaker 11: how they were born until someone tells them, someone like
Speaker 11: a teacher, social media influencer.
Speaker 2: And what exactly are these various genders? You have me
Speaker 2: very curious.
Speaker 11: Well, there's non binary, which is someone who identifies as
Speaker 11: both genders.
Speaker 9: Doesn't saying I identify as both genders apply that there
Speaker 9: are only two genders?
Speaker 7: No, it's shut up. Actually, it's gender queer.
Speaker 12: That is the term that refers to people who identify
Speaker 12: as both genders.
Speaker 7: You know, like my nephew.
Speaker 10: I thought that was gender fluid, like my niece now no,
Speaker 10: that shifts around.
Speaker 7: No, by gender shifts around like my steps on.
Speaker 1: They can.
Speaker 10: Well, oh, unless you're Native American, which case it's too
Speaker 10: spirit like my cousin who got into Harvard because they's
Speaker 10: one sixteenth Native Americans.
Speaker 7: Oh, I understand.
Speaker 9: On this planet there are people who are men, and
Speaker 9: people who are women, and people who are mentally ill.
Speaker 12: I can understand that it's confusing. It can be difficult
Speaker 12: to keep track of all the different genders.
Speaker 7: There's so many of them. There's there's gender vague, there's.
Speaker 12: Gray gender, demigender, audi gender, omnigender, polygender, and about ten
Speaker 12: different kinds of trands. And those are just the ones
Speaker 12: that my nephew has identified as in the last month.
Speaker 12: I was also by gender, which is two genders, those
Speaker 12: genders being male and female, or a combination of all genders,
Speaker 12: including a gender which is no gender at all, soually
Speaker 12: simultaneously be no gender at all plus a gender.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 7: The planet has no sign of intelligent life.
Speaker 9: Official recommendation destroyed.
Speaker 2: Well, please don't destroy it.
Speaker 7: We don't deserve it.
Speaker 5: Look, my favorite part of that whole thing is when
Speaker 5: they're laying out of that stuff and he says, why.
Speaker 2: The question no one can answer. I can answer it.
Speaker 3: It's so young adolescents feel special and get praised by
Speaker 3: their mentors. I'm not just a regular dude anymore. I'm
Speaker 3: I don't know, gender fluid. Oh Joe, that's so wonderful.
Speaker 3: We'll support you. You're so brave.
Speaker 2: Come on, why.
Speaker 3: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone?
Speaker 8: You get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: See Armstrong and Getty Show or Jack your Joe podcasts
Speaker 1: and our hot links.
Speaker 5: It's the Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast One
Speaker 5: more Thing.
Speaker 2: We do a new one every day. Find it wherever you.
Speaker 3: Find your podcasts. Paying tribute to one of the greats.
Speaker 3: It's one more thing.
Speaker 5: Then I have an admission of all Slash complained about
Speaker 5: myself when we thought we'd bring back one of the
Speaker 5: best thing.
Speaker 2: What do you call me? You know?
Speaker 3: Before I get to that, it occurs to me that
Speaker 3: intro could have been to talk about Elton John because,
Speaker 3: as I disclosed during the show, when I'd heard he'd
Speaker 3: played his last show allegedly, you know this, it's rock stars.
Speaker 3: Sometimes they unretire, but he's seventy six. I went back
Speaker 3: and listened I saw on YouTube some shows from the
Speaker 3: first tour I saw him on, which I think was
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty, might have been eighty one, and how blown
Speaker 3: away I was at the time by Elton but his band,
Speaker 3: how great they were. I was playing music at the time,
Speaker 3: and I was coming off, you know, like seeing the Stones,
Speaker 3: who didn't even attempt the harmonies that make their records
Speaker 3: so incredible. Keith couldn't be bothered to sing his parts
Speaker 3: some of the times, those giant, soaring harmonies like you know,
Speaker 3: the tumbledice are all down the line or stuff like that.
Speaker 2: They didn't have any backup singers. They didn't They would
Speaker 2: just have mixed in, Oh damn the lune.
Speaker 3: And as a guy who's long been into harmonies, it
Speaker 3: just I hated that. So then I go to see
Speaker 3: Elton John and his band full throated like a damn choir,
Speaker 3: and it's just the guys on stage singing all those
Speaker 3: great songs with all those great choruses and just playing
Speaker 3: out of the rock and roll, and I thought, Wow,
Speaker 3: what a great band. So anyway, tip of the cap, Elton,
Speaker 3: you chubby little legend, you what a great band.
Speaker 2: He really looks like an old lesbian at this point
Speaker 2: he does. He does. It's not a complaint, it's just
Speaker 2: what he looks like.
Speaker 3: I happen to know and love a couple of old lesbians,
Speaker 3: so I have said many times they are my favorite people,
Speaker 3: old lesbians.
Speaker 5: Your favorite people are old lesbians. Yes, huh, that's been
Speaker 5: my experience.
Speaker 3: Really interesting anyway, But we're not talking about Elton John
Speaker 3: or old lesbians. Well clearly who we are talking about
Speaker 3: Elton John. But the introduction wasn't talking about Elton John.
Speaker 3: It was a reference to during the show, Ryan Long's
Speaker 3: brilliant video when wokes and racists agree on everything and
Speaker 3: we're going to try to squeeze it in the show,
Speaker 3: but we didn't get to it.
Speaker 5: And you called this one of the best pieces of
Speaker 5: satire you've ever heard, which I would agree.
Speaker 2: I think it's underappreciated. I think it is.
Speaker 3: I think it's like at the very very top level
Speaker 3: of American socio political comment ever. Now, I've seen a
Speaker 3: bunch of his videos, some of them are just good,
Speaker 3: but this one is this is his Stairway to Heaven.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan Long put me and bradforst Matt.
Speaker 13: I didn't think we'd get along, But turns out we
Speaker 13: kind of agree on everything. Your racial identity is the
Speaker 13: most important thing.
Speaker 2: Everything should be looked at through the lens of race.
Speaker 9: Thinks you owe me a coke.
Speaker 2: Dam We both have a lot of opinions about people
Speaker 2: of color, even though we barely know. I say colored people,
Speaker 2: But as.
Speaker 13: Long as we're classifying them, we both think minorities are
Speaker 13: a united group who think the same, enact the same, and.
Speaker 2: Both the same. You don't want to lose your blackguard.
Speaker 11: Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just think we should roll back.
Speaker 13: Discrimination laws so we can hire days on race again.
Speaker 2: Thinks now you owe me a coke? Hey, tell them
Speaker 2: what you told me yesterday.
Speaker 11: White actors youd only do voices for a white cartoon
Speaker 11: characters and saying that for years stick to your own.
Speaker 2: Us white people, we have so much privilege. I agree,
Speaker 2: and it's a privilege to be white.
Speaker 13: Ask him about interracial dating. All I say is that
Speaker 13: black men who date white women have internalized racism, and
Speaker 13: white men that date ethnic women are fetishizing them.
Speaker 7: Guys against interracial dating? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Like, am I being pranked?
Speaker 2: Did Boomor put you up to this?
Speaker 7: Ugh? You know what?
Speaker 2: Taco place is white owned.
Speaker 13: White people should be making white food.
Speaker 2: It's a crap Macdarni and chese. No seasoning, not even solved.
Speaker 2: It's like he's a mind reader.
Speaker 13: I mean, I've been pushing for segregation forever, and my
Speaker 13: man does what. I created an improv comedy show exclusively
Speaker 13: for ethnic Beefic guy segregates comedy on my birthday.
Speaker 5: White people need to stop wearing dreadlocks, and they stop
Speaker 5: appropriating black people's music.
Speaker 13: Shaved heads and country music the way gotten tended.
Speaker 2: You know, all white people are racist. I'm listening.
Speaker 8: Even if you have a black wife or a black
Speaker 8: friend group, you're still really racist.
Speaker 13: You know, we just kicked it out of the organization for
Speaker 13: having a black girlfriend. But if you can promise me
Speaker 13: he's still really racist, we'll consider letting him back in.
Speaker 13: Black people should only show about black businesses.
Speaker 5: I guess the only thing we really disagree about is
Speaker 5: I think white people are the.
Speaker 6: Root of all evil.
Speaker 2: But what did I tell you?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 13: If we can narrow that down to a certain group
Speaker 13: of tiny how did white people? I think we can
Speaker 13: come to an understanding. Technically, I don't consider Jewish people
Speaker 13: neither do I.
Speaker 2: When racist wokes and racists agree on everything, Ryan Long.
Speaker 5: Why is that not more discussed that? Uh, when I
Speaker 5: was a little kid, they had dorms at colleges that
Speaker 5: were blacks only and whites only. Then that was decided
Speaker 5: to be a horror. Then they were mixed together, and
Speaker 5: now we're going with dorms that are blacks only or
Speaker 5: whites only again and seen as progress or a good thing.
Speaker 3: Well, I think part of the reason is, and we
Speaker 3: talked about this a lot hour two of the Monday
Speaker 3: Show if you want to grab the Armstrong and get
Speaker 3: you on demand podcast, that a lot of it is
Speaker 3: neo Marxism, it's cultural Marxism, and it's racial. It's actually
Speaker 3: it's a method of grabbing political power that masquerades as
Speaker 3: racial concern. And so the flaming, idiotic inconsistency of it there.
Speaker 3: The left is not going to address those because that's
Speaker 3: not what they're going for anyway, and because the mainstream
Speaker 3: media sees themselves aligned with the left and are frequently
Speaker 3: duped into thinking, yes, this is about race, primarily they
Speaker 3: don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 5: So I saw Elton John. I'm trying to think what
Speaker 5: year it was, two thousand.
Speaker 2: Seven or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw him at one point during the kind
Speaker 3: of the comeback years.
Speaker 5: I saw him in San Jose the hockey rink, and
Speaker 5: it was it was real good. It wasn't mind blowing,
Speaker 5: so I'm I might have been too old for that.
Speaker 5: The thing that stands out in my mind the most
Speaker 5: is the crowd was just loving all the greatest hits
Speaker 5: so much, and then he jumped in with stuff from
Speaker 5: his new album and just killed the mood for everyone.
Speaker 5: Here's something from my new album, and everybody groans.
Speaker 2: H R.
Speaker 5: Damn creative artists to try to create new art, please,
Speaker 5: where do they get off? I know that's a weird thing,
Speaker 5: isn't that. We'll decide when you're through creating. I've thought
Speaker 5: this myself when I'm seeing musicians. This song, the song
Speaker 5: that I want him to play was new to me
Speaker 5: at one point. That was a new song at one point,
Speaker 5: So maybe this will be great, although so seldom it is.
Speaker 5: And the songs that he played that were new, nobody
Speaker 5: dug them at all and I don't even remember them,
Speaker 5: and they disappeared.
Speaker 2: Into the ether.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tiny Dancer, we're here. We spent our money to
Speaker 5: hear tiny dnswer, hold me closer, tiny dancer.
Speaker 2: You know, I've.
Speaker 3: Had bands, individual artists.
Speaker 2: I don't like the term artists. I find it pretentious.
Speaker 3: Anyway, songwriters that I love, and I will come to
Speaker 3: the conclusion, Okay, you're out of ideas.
Speaker 2: You had some really great ideas.
Speaker 3: Now you're either repeating yourself where this new thing just
Speaker 3: doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Which is fine. That's what Billy Joel did.
Speaker 5: He stopped putting out music, what thirty some years ago,
Speaker 5: putting new music. Yeah, he hasn't written a new song
Speaker 5: like thirty some years. And he said, I just think
Speaker 5: I was done. I just I don't think I had
Speaker 5: anything left to say. And people liked my old song.
Speaker 2: So yeah, fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 3: And then I read a interview with the John Mellencamp,
Speaker 3: who's every time i'd say his name, I'm tempted to
Speaker 3: call him John mellonhead because I've arrested adolescens. He didn
Speaker 3: an interview the other day where he said he stopped
Speaker 3: playing for years and years and years because he had
Speaker 3: no interest in being a human jukebox. He would, you know,
Speaker 3: play really good stuff he'd come up with, nobody had
Speaker 3: any interest in it, and he could bang out the
Speaker 3: old hits and play him crappy and it didn't matter.
Speaker 2: He didn't even have to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he thought, no, what, just go listen to
Speaker 3: the CD, go listen to the radio. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: prance about up here. If you have no interest in music,
Speaker 3: you just want to hear the hits.
Speaker 5: Wow, that is the opposite of the Rolling Stones philosophy.
Speaker 2: We're gonna barely go through the motions.
Speaker 5: We're gonna give you twenty five percent of what this
Speaker 5: song is. If you listen to the record, you're gonna
Speaker 5: pay a ton for it. And we're perfectly fine with that. Well,
Speaker 5: that was the old Stones.
Speaker 3: Now the Stones sound fantastic in spite of them being octagenarians.
Speaker 3: Their shows sound great now. But anyway, that's interesting.
Speaker 5: Some people are perfectly okay with that, and I don't
Speaker 5: blame them. You know, if the fans are enjoying themselves,
Speaker 5: you should try you should try to sound your best.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but.
Speaker 5: But if the fans are fine with seeing, you know,
Speaker 5: hearing their greatest hits live and in person, I don't know,
Speaker 5: it seems well.
Speaker 3: And at the same time, if John Mellencamp doesn't want
Speaker 3: to do that, don't do that.
Speaker 2: You don't have to.
Speaker 3: I don't find that pretentious or mean or wrong or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's a voluntary occupation. Go paint and hang out with
Speaker 3: your fifth wife.
Speaker 5: And because music was structured so much differently, he's got
Speaker 5: more money than God.
Speaker 2: Anyway. I think about that all the time.
Speaker 5: Some of these super wealthy aging musicians or whatever, how
Speaker 5: much money would they have made in the modern era?
Speaker 5: Would they be working at the grocery store. I mean,
Speaker 5: they have several big hits. You can think of lots
Speaker 5: of people that only had a couple of hits. They'd
Speaker 5: be working at the grocery store or be insurance agents
Speaker 5: or something right now, even with those giant hits, because they'd.
Speaker 2: Made no money, right Yeah.
Speaker 3: I Actually, on the other end of it, I know
Speaker 3: some people in bands that are if they had come
Speaker 3: along in the seventies, they would be very, very wealthy,
Speaker 3: and now they're continuing to tour and playing bars and
Speaker 3: stuff because they need the money, or giving piano lessons
Speaker 3: between tours.
Speaker 2: Literally, isn't that something? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Man, if you could have if you could have two
Speaker 5: three top forty hits in the eighties, you were set
Speaker 5: for life.
Speaker 2: Now forget it.
Speaker 5: No, you've got some money, you can tour around, work
Speaker 5: really hard, live off that for a while while.
Speaker 2: But oh times change.
Speaker 8: Hey, Jack, you mentioned that some people are throwing things
Speaker 8: that artists, I mean, other the crowd.
Speaker 2: They're throwing things.
Speaker 8: At musicians now right, political speeches that would cause me
Speaker 8: to throw stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that's what they're doing, though. It's
Speaker 5: just in the middle of songs. They just like it's
Speaker 5: popular to throw cell phones with people. A couple people
Speaker 5: have been hitting the face cell phones. Yeah, they're a
Speaker 5: little expensive art and I'm not throwing my fourteen hundred
Speaker 5: dollars phone at you.
Speaker 2: But somebody got hit in the face the other day.
Speaker 2: Several people have in recent weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that chick got hit in the face and it
Speaker 4: ended up in four stitches on her eyebrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah I would. I would have my security
Speaker 3: goons beat that person down. Sorry, I realized that's a
Speaker 3: terrible thing to say out loud. Oh, the internet got
Speaker 3: a hold of him. I think he lost his job
Speaker 3: and all sorts of stuff. Oh, they just take his
Speaker 3: profile and his personal info and put it out. No,
Speaker 3: he shouldn't lose his job. He should just be punched
Speaker 3: in the head three or fourteen.
Speaker 5: The Internet got a hold of him. He loses his job.
Speaker 5: He's a pariah. Probably have to move, change his name,
Speaker 5: get a fake mustache, whole thing.
Speaker 2: That's a great phrase, by the way, the Internet got
Speaker 2: ahold of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you talk about brutality.
Speaker 2: I'd rather be punching you, No kidding.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah more Jack, your Shoe
Speaker 1: podcasts and our hot lakes.
Speaker 5: It's the Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast one
Speaker 5: more thing.
Speaker 2: We do a new one every day. Find it wherever
Speaker 2: you find your podcast. So have you been following the
Speaker 2: story out of Colorado?
Speaker 3: Some woke jack teacher told a twelve year old kid,
Speaker 3: you gotta leave because you have a Don't Tread on
Speaker 3: Me flag Gadsden flag patch on your backpack.
Speaker 5: Wow, a patch on the backpack, which is not even
Speaker 5: that prevalent. My son wears they don't Tread on Me
Speaker 5: t shirt to school regularly.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 3: He's you know what, I ought to establish a foundation
Speaker 3: and buy like fifty thousand of them and distribute them
Speaker 3: free to any kid who wants to wear one.
Speaker 4: Yes, Ken, if you look at his backpack, the kid's
Speaker 4: obviously running for some position. I think it said vice
Speaker 4: president of his class. So he has a bunch of
Speaker 4: political patches on his backpack to go with his little
Speaker 4: campaign poster.
Speaker 2: Just to set the scene.
Speaker 6: Longer recesses vote for Jimmy you know whatever.
Speaker 2: Hey for offending machines.
Speaker 8: We also have a clip of the mom confronting the
Speaker 8: teacher as well.
Speaker 2: Isn't that clip six?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: It is. Well that's what I'm leading up to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, why don't you Why don't you, mic I'm
Speaker 3: so sorry.
Speaker 2: I was misled by my superior. I think here's the
Speaker 2: pressures I'm under. I explode. I think you're treading on him,
Speaker 2: is what you're doing? Guilty? Well well played, so well played?
Speaker 2: All right, Michael.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's listen to Mom talking to the aforementioned woke teacher.
Speaker 7: He I mean he is able to go.
Speaker 2: I was actually just telling him.
Speaker 7: Like I was upset that he's missing so much. So
Speaker 7: I asked Dad go back to class, like I just
Speaker 7: wanted to go back to class. That can't go back
Speaker 7: if so catch on it.
Speaker 2: We can't have that in and a round other kids.
Speaker 11: So that's what I was trying that.
Speaker 7: He said, you were close, so I was like, oh, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: it has.
Speaker 5: Nothing to do with slavery.
Speaker 7: That's like the Revolutionary War patch.
Speaker 2: That was when they were fighting the British.
Speaker 3: So that was mom, I assume, yeah, had her phone
Speaker 3: out with the ignoramus teacher.
Speaker 4: From from there, the clip continues to that that jack
Speaker 4: teacher just saying, well, I'll have to direct you to
Speaker 4: the district. And then she said the name of whoever
Speaker 4: it was, she asked a contact, and it was just yeah,
Speaker 4: it'sested you never this smug look on her face.
Speaker 5: If I'm the teacher, well, first, well I wouldn't believe that.
Speaker 5: But if I'm the teacher somebody gets out their phone
Speaker 5: and I'm on this topic, I'm referring it to someone.
Speaker 2: Above me, I would yell because it ain't gonna go
Speaker 2: well no matter what happens.
Speaker 3: Well she did, and after a couple of days the
Speaker 3: district said, yeah, a kid can wear the patch, of
Speaker 3: course he can. And then interestingly enough, the governor of
Speaker 3: Colorado tweeted Obviously, the Gadsden flag is a proud symbol
Speaker 3: of the American Revolution and an iconic warning to Britain
Speaker 3: or any government not to violate the liberties of Americans.
Speaker 3: It appears on popular American medallions and challenge coins through today,
Speaker 3: and Ben Franklin also adopted it to symbolize the Union
Speaker 3: of the Thirteen Colonies. It's a great teaching moment for
Speaker 3: a history lesson.
Speaker 5: Are you telling me that child's nut pro slavery, because
Speaker 5: that's what I assumed a teacher needs a history lesson
Speaker 5: that that little kid, the fifth grader, was running on
Speaker 5: a up with slavery platform to be class president.
Speaker 3: Show me an American school that is not an indoctrination
Speaker 3: factory for left wing ideas.
Speaker 6: There are some I want free desserts at lunch and
Speaker 6: chattel slavery. Homework is optional, labor will be uncompensated.
Speaker 3: Wow wow, but how many classrooms are flying your super
Speaker 3: rainbow flag. I mean this rainbow that also includes the
Speaker 3: transgender colors and the binary colors and the rest of it,
Speaker 3: freaking all of them.
Speaker 5: Imagine the trouble you're in if you say we don't
Speaker 5: want political flags in our classroom, if you kick that
Speaker 5: one out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I try not to let it make me like frustrated, angry,
Speaker 3: because I have the outlet of the show and podcast
Speaker 3: and everything. I so sympathize with parents who don't have
Speaker 3: this sort of outlet and are just enraged at what's happening.
Speaker 3: And they don't have the money to send their kid
Speaker 3: to a private school, and they might not have the
Speaker 3: time to homeschool them, so.
Speaker 2: What are they supposed to do? God, this pisses me off.
Speaker 5: I heard this from a child of grade school age
Speaker 5: that when they say the pledge of a legiance every morning,
Speaker 5: there are a few kids who say, I pledge allegiance
Speaker 5: to the Pride flag everywhere. But not certain whether that's
Speaker 5: a sarcastic why is this flag always in my face commentary?
Speaker 5: Or I don't know what the you know, I don't
Speaker 5: know what the gesture means.
Speaker 2: It's the double reverse, yeah exactly? It might be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because the flag's hanging up on the wall next
Speaker 5: to the US flag, so you.
Speaker 3: Know, then you know the lives of TikTok among others.
Speaker 3: I've seen a handful of a teacher's bragging that they've
Speaker 3: taken down the American flag. The only flag in this
Speaker 3: classroom is the Pride flag.
Speaker 4: Now, oh yeah, because that's the other flag that was
Speaker 4: going around viraln TikTok for being a symbol of slavery
Speaker 4: was the American flag.
Speaker 2: People were losing it about that, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, sixty nineteen project and all that sort of stuff. Right, yeah,
Speaker 5: I think I know what to do about this.
Speaker 3: But how do we feel about quote unquote re educ
Speaker 3: cation camps. It's kind of got a negative connotation, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Perhaps patriotism academies? What do you think of that name?
Speaker 2: We'd like you, ma'am.
Speaker 3: I know you're teaching this class and throwing kids out
Speaker 3: for having the Gansten flag, but we need you to
Speaker 3: attend a patriotism academy for a few weeks.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, the protests at that. That's very Chinese of you. Geez,
Speaker 2: that was insensitive.
Speaker 8: You know, when I went to school, the only problem
Speaker 8: was the school cafeteria in that questionable meat.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, right, Simpler time, simpler time.
