Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong and Jettie 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:35.479 and he arms range the drum studio. Ce see signors 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.040 a dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.760 the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey y'all, Today Friday, 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.640 heading into a summer weekend. We're under the tutelage of 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:52.360 our general manager. The World's Funniest Baby. Okay, figure, it's Friday, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.240 We'll keep it light, the World's Funniest Baby. Kiss. News 0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:00.680 has reached me that Eddie Murphy's son has Mary Martin 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:06.160 Lawrence's daughter Martin. They should decide to start a family. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.840 I believe the child resulting from the union will be 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:16.080 the world's funniest baby. It's pronounced Martin, but yes, it 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.160 will be a very funny child. Now, whether the infant 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.240 hues toward Eddie Murphy's more intellectual, cynical brand of humor 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.480 or Martin Lawrence is more mad cap faux idiot style 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.520 science has yet to determine. Now, Martin Lawrence Sitcom was funny. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.560 I loved that show. That was really good. Yes, yes, indeed, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.120 funny people see those two kids. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:43.319 Luck Uh jeez, look at the list of news items 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:44.039 to talk about. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.960 That's another reason I went with that GM. I just can't. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.400 The cure Closer to You. That's what I listened to 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.080 on the way to work today. On Fridays, I listen 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.240 to music instead of news. For some reason, I like 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.640 your style and I went with Heartbreak today. So anyway, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.760 it sounded good in my car, but I don't know 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.960 if it be in the proper mood all for the show. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.280 Yeah, it's like a hot shower before you jump in 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.280 a cold pool. It's so good, but it's probably not 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.800 the right way to go. Uh yeah. There are a 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.280 couple of cure songs, a lot of classic rock, and 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.560 I think you have to include new wave stuff in 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.200 that description. These pictures, did I stay closer to you? 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.720 Pictures of you? You did? Pictures of You like their 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.200 biggest hit seven minutes long Drinking, Yes, plenty long enough. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.679 There are a number of cure songs I cannot get 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.920 tired of. Oh that's a good tune. I mean, there 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.880 are plenty of classic rock songs. If I never hear 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.480 them again till the day I die. If you told 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.880 me that, Joe, you will never hear you know, song acts. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.000 I would say, Oh, that's fine. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:44.520 Now. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.560 So are they a group that has gotten like back 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.600 together to make the like we go around and play 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.400 our greatest hits and make a bunch of money things. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.519 Oh yeah, they have done that. I'd like to see 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.480 them and great shows too. Oh I would like to 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.919 see that. Yeah, AnyWho, and I love Robert Smith.

Is this the n 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.240 spell beat? So uh? 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.279 The yearly script spelling Bee, and every news show in 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.800 America or show of any kind is opening with that clip. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.960 And everyone that I've seen so far, the hosts similar 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.080 to that woman at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.839 It's just so happy and giddy about it. Oh that's 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.640 so sweet and special and blah blah blah, and I 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:50.960 every year I say this. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.000 Watch the documentary spell Bound. It won an Oscar. It 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.320 was all about this sort of thing. The kids were miserable, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.919 the parents were miserable. Many of them go on to 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:01.719 have arable lives. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.480 They wait. They spend their entire summers not playing or 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.000 having boyfriends or girlfriends, or doing anything or learning something 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.239 useful or learning anything else that could make you a living. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.479 They study spelling like fifteen hours a day. It's like 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.560 a weird OCD obsession that they either have or forced into. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:26.159 I didn't go with slavery. It's so great. I just 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.640 don't understand why. That isn't better known. I mean, it's 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.599 not like just my own cranky opinion. Watch that documentary 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:35.919 about it. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.320 I didn't walk away from that documentary thinking, oh, that's cute. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.760 I want my kid to study spelling words eighteen hours 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:46.400 a day. Oh the babbling simpleton heard running morons of media. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.400 You can't have enough contempt for them. And I always think, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.479 you know, neither one of my kids is like this. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.559 But if my kid wanted to do that, I really 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:57.280 think I would. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.200 I wouldn't. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.440 I wouldn't like force them to stop, but I would 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.880 have a conversation of is sure you want to put 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.880 all your eggs in the basket of spelling? 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.760 Right? It's just it's a bizarre mutation of what was 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.720 a lovely idea. Hey, we'll have these little contests because 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.160 spelling is important, and sure the kids can be proud 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.320 of how well they do. And here's an incentive for 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.520 them to learn to spell. Because it's a bit. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.000 Of a dry pursuit and in school it's words you 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.840 come across regularly in life that you need to be 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:26.440 able to spell. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:26.920 To write. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.000 Makes perfect sense. They turned it into this weird you 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 memorize a bunch of words nobody's ever heard. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.280 Of from from from the world of Arcania. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.320 I mean, just nobody's ever going to use or have 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:43.720 heard of you memorize these, It's it's a trivia contest, really, yeah, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.120 or or just a deep, deep, deep dive into etymology 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.680 and destruction of rods and rice ands that sort of thing, 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.520 which is fine as far as it goes. But it 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.120 reminds me of you know, the guy who sets the 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.960 world record for bouncing on a pogo stick. He bounced 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.280 a million times on a pogo stick. No, that's supposed 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.480 to be a fun to that you get a little exercise. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.000 There is absolutely no use. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.640 There's no purpose in jumping up and down on a 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.640 pogo stick for twenty seven straight hours. None. It's a mania. 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:11.920 It's a mental condition. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.440 Oh you know, and the kids are cute and everything 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.640 like that, and good for them and everything. But you know, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.640 while again watch the documentary, it's not just my old 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.600 man cranky opinion. What's the furthest you ever gotten a 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.200 spelling bee? 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.480 Oh gosh, I don't know, fairly far, like the school 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:38.760 championship or something. I can't remember. I remember doing pretty well. Yeah, 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.880 i'd easily like I busted my ass to study. No, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.240 I just a pretty good spell. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.600 I definitely did not I would I was usually in 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.760 the top quarter that would go out or something like that. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:52.360 But yeah, you know, Michael about like that top quarter. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.640 Uh huh, yeah, respectable. There are uh do they still 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.400 do spelling bees. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:58.760 I don't even know if they do. I think of 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.440 my kids' school, and this sounds very modern. It's uh 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.640 because everybody had to participate. It wasn't like an option. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.480 Everybody stood up and did the spelling be But now 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.160 it's a few people who are into it do it 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.640 because probably they don't want to make kids who can't 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.400 spell feel bad, because that's what we do everything. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.360 We we we you know, we don't want anybody to 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.719 It's very important exactly and this is going to shock you. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.319 Kid's got an Indian name. They won the spot. Yeah, 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.480 every damn kid I saw on the highlights was a 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.600 South Asian extraction, every single one. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.319 And I think every kid featured in the documentary. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.280 There is Indian American kids compelled to study spelling words 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.480 all day long. That's what the name of the show autim. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.240 Yeah, I'm amazed by the various countries India being one 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.959 of them that their culture is such they come here 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.160 and they absolutely bust ass and are incredibly successful. I 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:03.760 know several adults that way. But the spelling Bee particular 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.080 of it is odd. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.160 It is an extension of a cultural norm in which 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.480 you will work as hard as it takes to be 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.720 successful and you will not complain, which is unquestionably what 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:21.319 is uh you know, propelled so many Indian Americans to 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.640 great success in this country. I mean, to a certain extent, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.600 it's to be admired. I mean clearly Asian American folks 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.280 do of all of all sorts. Just it's a cultural norm. Well, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.040 I think if it, if it gets taken to a 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.320 ridiculous extreme like this, it's it's not to be admired 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.840 at all. But you know, at its base it's it's 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.760 it's good. We remember when COVID hit and businesses were 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.719 being closed down in this stat made the rounds. I 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.280 think it came out of the Wall Street Journal. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.880 Various businesses that had money on hand to be able 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.800 to survive two or three months being shut down, and 0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:00.600 like Asian and Indian owners had the most money saved 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.120 up for a rainy day to be able to weather it. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.280 Way more than anybody else, which is just smart. Yeah, 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.760 whether you can smell spell smart in some sort of 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.880 weird way or not. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.360 Yeah, no kidding, so uh interesting. One more final note, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.600 and it's I don't think it's old man yells at clouds. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.280 I think it has more to do with my great 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:28.120 philosophy of society. Culture is like a stream or a 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:33.440 river with a current, and that current is not determined 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.360 by what's best for you. It's frequently determined by what 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.280 will make Mark Zuckerberg the most money. For instance, having 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:46.040 you doom scroll endlessly, everybody's doing it around you. You're 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.240 constantly staring at your phone. You've forgotten what it's like 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.120 to be alone with your own thoughts. There's no question 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.640 that that's not good for you, but everybody does it 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.360 because that is the cultural current. One of the cultural 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.960 currents that's unmistakable, you know, having lived as long as 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.559 I have at this point in human history, is the 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.000 professionalization of childhood pursuits. Yeah, and the spelling bee is 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.600 a good I mean like baseball. You know, when I 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.720 was playing baseball in the seventies and eighties, we played 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.480 because we loved to play baseball, or maybe your dad 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.720 was a ballplayer and he really wanted you to play, 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.720 but you weren't very good and you dropped out eventually. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.920 But if you really really cared about baseball, you got 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.400 really good at it because it's fun to win and achieve. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.360 And then at the end you're there. You are eighteen 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.199 years old, somebody says, you know, you're a really really 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.480 good baseball player, you want to play in college, and 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.840 be like, yes, yes I would as a matter of fact, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.680 as opposed to now, from the time you're six blanking 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:49.520 years old, you're on this industrial pipeline, this professionalized you know, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.880 production system for producing college baseball players. The cart is 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.880 in front of the horse, in my opinion, in a 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.920 lot of ways has to do with fame and force. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.640 And I'm a big fan of fortune, don't get me wrong. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.280 But again, understand, when you're swimming because you want to 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.360 swim that way, and when you're being swept up in 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.120 the current, it can get a little philosophized, it can 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.160 get a little spelling bsque. I have seen that although 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.079 there is professional league for baseball, there is not for spelling. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.520 There's no Triple A, Single A or professional The big 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.480 league's the show you made it to the show for 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.000 the best center fielder in the world. I get it. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.600 I get why you killed yourself to get there. A 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.439 speller in the world. We got head I expect to 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.400 see you at the end of a bar, drunk and 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.200 miserable on about twenty years, reminding us constantly that you 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.000 want the spelling bee. We got headlines, we got clips 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.400 of the week, we got all kinds of stuff. To 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:44.800 stay here. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.240 A little bit later in the show, the ongoing conversation 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.960 about AI and how it's either going to be not 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.280 near as big a deal as some people claim, it's 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:01.960 gonna be every bit as big a deal as some 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.280 people claim, and you should pay attention. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.880 Well, at least those people with diametrically opposed opinions aren't 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.559 the guys developing the thing. Oh that's right, they are. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.199 We didn't mention the biggest headline of all, but I 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.800 assume you've heard it already. The tariffs are back on. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.840 Yesterday we led with the hair. The tariffs are off. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.560 Now it's back. The tariffs are back on. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.320 Peel's court jumps in temporarily pausing the ruling from the 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.280 Trade court that found them illegal. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.080 So here we are. If I was a business person, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.720 I don't know what I would do. Oh no, No, 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.080 it's absolute chaos. Appeals Court just said, now we're not 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.280 gonna We're not gonna stop them until we fully consider 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:41.840 the question. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:47.160 Yeah, I'm not a reversal, it's just a delay, not 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.800 to disrupt the headlines completely. But I thought it was interesting. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.440 Jonathan Turley, you know, who is a Lean's foxy and 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:54.880 trumpy and all that sort of stuff. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.480 Law professor. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.880 He thought the ruling by the Trade Court was absolutely 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.800 and that the president doesn't have the emergency authority to 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.720 do those sort of things, and thought that the appeals 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.600 Court stepping in and staying this is a good idea 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.760 because it needs to get the full looking at. And 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.280 he also thinks Congress should jump in and take care of. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.960 This right now. Sure, I'll make a bet on that 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.480 if you want to. I have not found a single 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.120 commentator who I respect, whether trumpy or less so, who 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.920 has said, no, they got it wrong. The president should 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.320 be able to do this. Nobody, virtually, nobody thinks that 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.920 except jd. Vance was making a silly argument. More on 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.280 that later. And yes, we ought to have better trade 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.640 relationships around the world. And I hope Trump can accomplish that. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.480 This just isn't the way to get there. We're down 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.320 to two minutes already. Yes, we broke very very late. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.320 I blame you, oh Cramp. It was me rambling. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.080 I was looking at a bunch of different headlines from 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.960 different sources. I find it very interesting that this ceasefire 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.520 thing is exactly the same as all the other ceasefires, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.000 this one talking about not Ukraine and Russia, but this 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.960 one being the Hamas and Israel. The US has broken 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.800 it with the help of Egypt and Katar. Everybody's signed 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.880 on it to US, US, Egypt, Qatar, Israel. Guess who's 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.000 not Hamas. They're not happy with it. So there you go. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.440 Yeah, I got a big update on Hamas and is Israel. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.000 But Hamas is saying no, this doesn't end the conflict. Yeah, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.840 We're not gonna end it until we have crushed you, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.840 Saith Israel. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.920 Another court wing in story Trump's administration's ban on international 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.600 students at Harvard blocked by a federal judge. Have some 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.640 interesting statistics on judges stepping in and stopping what presidents 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.400 want to do that might surprise you. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.440 We can get to later. Speaking of judges, how about 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.840 the soups the Supreme Court ruling eight to zero that 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.920 and I'm gonna summarize this very briefly. The whole environmental 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.280 impact review thing has gotten completely out of control, and 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:58.120 that these obscure organizations and boards and stuff are wielding 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.640 way too much power. Had to do with a effort 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.800 to build an eighty eight mile railway construction proposal in Utah. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.439 They put out a thousands of pages long environmental review. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.600 Then some boards said no, you haven't really reviewed it enough. 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.639 Supreme Court eight zero said, all right, we got to 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.400 rein this in So a whole bunch of money got 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.760 paid in tariffs, like tens of billions of dollars. If 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.399 it turns out it was illegal, what happens to that money? 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.400 That is an interesting question. Do you get some back? 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.959 Stay good for that? Armstrong and Getty. I'm looking at 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:34.399 the news. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.760 You know what Russell Brand's got working against him is 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.359 he looks like a rapist? Oh boy, I don't know 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.560 that he is. But you know how usually when you 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.880 go to trial for something, they like clean you up 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.359 in certain ways to make you look less like the 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:50.520 sort of person that would do that. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.000 Sure, he seems to be going the other direction for 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:58.560 some reason. Really. Yeah, he's a strange individual, no doubt. Yeah. 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.119 Remember, if you're a long time listener at the Armstrong 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.840 and Getty show, you remember years ago, I think it 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.880 was because of the Olympics run or something like that, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.679 I ran the one hundred meter dash out in the 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.280 parking lot. I ran a twelve nine hundred meter dash 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:11.159 in work boots. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:12.760 Completely illegitimate. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.720 Again anyway, against a college mascot and a cheerleader or something. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.920 That's correct. That's correct. Yeah, the video still exists somewhere 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.440 on YouTube. Ridiculous. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.320 But I just thought of another athletic event I would 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.080 like to try, which I'll explain after all. Feature you're 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.160 leaving out the fact that I kicked a thirty five 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:28.960 year field. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.960 Goal, which was really cool. After the forty nine ers 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.600 missed a really important field goal, JO said I could 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.440 do that, and he did. We went to a football field. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.200 He did. Couldn't anymore, but it was back in the day. Jack. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.960 Hey all, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take a fond 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.120 look back of the week. That was it's cow clips 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.600 of the week. But in this moment, this morning, mock 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:56.280 Strato Frappucino Whips of the Week. Video of President McCool 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.960 and his wife Regitte pushing his face is going viral. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.800 It's a gaugeous peace did lose their stay away loser? 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:11.040 It is lit sheep say LIPA power can change the 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:17.240 definition of the words we use to describe reality. So 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.800 you just said I will give a good afternoon. Really 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.240 it's the afternoon. I identify as it always being the morning. 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.280 What you're talking about, Yeah, get dressed. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.280 We're going to kill kid Cuddy Clarkord called combstailing her, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.160 but the rapper wasn't home at the time. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:36.560 And prosecutor say that John Wells proceeded to essentially torture him, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:41.119 demanding that he give up his bigcoin password. I'm not 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.520 gonna lay down. I'm not get in the baid. I 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:43.919 just want to call it, tell you good night. Mostly 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:49.560 during why are you a good squirrel? Squirrel? Where squirrel 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.639 elon musk rule as a special government employee coming to 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.160 an end. I think it both can be can be 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.199 can be big, or it can be beautiful, But I 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.720 don't know if it could be both. Republicans on the 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.480 House Oversight Committee are ready in subpoenas. We want to 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.480 ask them, who gave you the authority to use Joe 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:16.359 Biden's signature. We never got somebody that said we should 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:20.240 never have done this. I can't believe we did it. Yeah, 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:21.760 there's gradations of honesty. 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:23.000 Now. 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.440 It looks as though the war in Gaza is raging 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.520 on a level that we haven't seen. Present posting on 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.480 truth Social that he may take quote three billion dollars 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.119 of grant money away from fairy anti Semitic Harvard. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:40.480 The staggering setback for President Trump's aggressive trade agenda. The 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.280 White House rebuking the court, saying it is not for 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:47.520 unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency. 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.439 And I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.840 I've known him a long time, and something happened to 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.520 this guy, and I don't like it. I don't think 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.960 Putin has changed. I don't know what the President's talking about. 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.640 Negitive rites. I only know of one really bad thing, 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.399 World War three. I think this four is about to 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.840 get a lot dirtier. Is it better to shower in 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.240 the morning or at night? According to science? Tell you what, 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.120 there's a fire burglary. I throw my shoes on, which 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.000 are right next to the bed, next to my gun, 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.359 my eyeglasses, and I'm ready to go. Some nights I 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.440 sleep in a tracksuit and I think, you know, there 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:27.560 could be action tonight. 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.879 A couple of things I'm reminded of from the clips 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.920 of the week. One, Scott Pelley is the most pompous 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:36.760 human being on planet Earth. 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:43.359 Yes, and pompousness to actual wisdom ratio is off the 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.600 chart because he is a jackass. 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.520 Also, that story about the crypto guy being tortured for 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:57.280 two weeks by another already insanely rich crypto guy. Two 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.520 NYPD police officers being questioned in that that were. 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.520
