Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Getty and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: Elon. You can't just call anything you want waste and
Speaker 3: just get rid of it. You can't do that.
Speaker 4: Like in the Department of Defense, we do like lots
Speaker 4: and lots of online training every year. That's totally not
Speaker 4: a waste of time and teaches us great skills that
Speaker 4: we use every day.
Speaker 3: And you should not use doage to eliminate that. You don't.
Speaker 3: Don't please, don't do that, please.
Speaker 5: I love that. Tight s totally not a waste of
Speaker 5: time our training. I'm sure they're similar to the ones
Speaker 5: we have on sexual harassment or whatever.
Speaker 2: The heck.
Speaker 5: Oh, totally not a waste of time. Please don't, hey, doge,
Speaker 5: don't don't cut those please.
Speaker 1: I think now, just because of the passage of time.
Speaker 1: I've been trained twenty eight times to not bribe foreign
Speaker 1: port officials during our ethics training, and.
Speaker 5: I almost even all that training the other day. I
Speaker 5: almost did. I was standing there at the port and
Speaker 5: there was this guy from a foreign country, and I
Speaker 5: was just about to bribe him for this palateful of something,
Speaker 5: and I thought, not, it's right, the training told me
Speaker 5: not to do that.
Speaker 2: That's totally not a waste of time.
Speaker 5: God it, we're in the private sector and we have
Speaker 5: to take all kinds of those waste of time training things.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine what it's like in government. Well I can, actually,
Speaker 5: because I've got a friend who works in government who's
Speaker 5: regularly talking about this two hours seminar they had to
Speaker 5: do on sexual harassment or something.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's what I would say. Here's the connective tissue.
Speaker 1: Torte abuse turns private enterprise into government like silliness and waste.
Speaker 1: Sure the reason you at Jones Enterprises take that ethics
Speaker 1: training to not bribe foreign port officials, for instance, is
Speaker 1: so if you do, the company that you work for
Speaker 1: can say, now we trained him not to, so it's
Speaker 1: not on us, don't sue us, sue him?
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, exactly. The reason so that, yeah, probably means
Speaker 5: it's even more likely in the private sector. Surely you're
Speaker 5: all aware of that. The sexual harassment training is to
Speaker 5: cover the company so that if you sexually harass someone,
Speaker 5: it's on you. The company can't be held responsible.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My only quibbal is that, No, it's super common
Speaker 1: in government because government it's not their money they're settling with,
Speaker 1: so they'll settle.
Speaker 2: You see it all the time.
Speaker 1: It comes with a ridiculous Yes, I shot at the
Speaker 1: cops and I'd raped three women and were in the
Speaker 1: process of beating a child. But when the cops tackled me,
Speaker 1: I wrenched my elbow and I'd need a million dollars
Speaker 1: in the city said all right, I'll write your check
Speaker 1: for seven hundred thousand bucks because it's not our money.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 5: Hey, before I get to what I was going to
Speaker 5: talk about, what can you tell me about Canada USA
Speaker 5: USA hockey tonight?
Speaker 1: Just that the last time they played, there were three
Speaker 1: fights in the first nine seconds.
Speaker 2: There's bad blood, jack the.
Speaker 1: Canuck fans booing the national anthem, for instance, when we
Speaker 1: were up in America's hat.
Speaker 5: So it's tonight, it's eight eastern five West coast time.
Speaker 5: This is some sort of Are these like our professional
Speaker 5: NHL players playing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, And I'm late to the party because I
Speaker 1: used to be a really big hockey fan.
Speaker 2: I'm not anymore. I just don't have the time.
Speaker 1: But instead of the idiotic waste of time that was
Speaker 1: the NHL All Star Game, which was a lot like
Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game that nobody plays defense. It's
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. They decided to go with Since there are
Speaker 1: many American players, Canadian players, uh, Finnish players, I think
Speaker 1: it is in Swedish players or whatever, they organized a
Speaker 1: four team national whatever your nationality is tournament.
Speaker 2: As kind of a.
Speaker 1: Mini Olympics during the All Star break for hockey, and
Speaker 1: it's been super popular.
Speaker 5: Do you remember some Russell Crowe movie just popped into
Speaker 5: my head from way back in the day, and he
Speaker 5: lived in some town in Alaska or Canada or something
Speaker 5: like that, small town, and they they played outside because
Speaker 5: it was so cold, and they all believed that they
Speaker 5: were as good as any NHL team, and they ended
Speaker 5: up playing an NHL team And it's a plucky small
Speaker 5: town Russell crows in it. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of pride in certain areas around their hockey,
Speaker 5: no doubt. Yes, yes, Katie, it's called Mystery Elaska. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love that movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: It's fun. Wow wow, thank you much so.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, it's for whatever reason of uh, patriotism and
Speaker 1: Trump and international relations. And then you know beefs from
Speaker 1: the n NHL season or whatever, or you know, there's
Speaker 1: a couple of the Kachuck brothers who play for the US,
Speaker 1: and the one got in a fight and then and
Speaker 1: then the other guy got in a fight, partly to
Speaker 1: defend his brother. But it's what's been funny about it,
Speaker 1: And this is a hockey thing. It seems so ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but it's fairly rare that anybody gets seriously hurt in
Speaker 1: a hockey fight. Fairly But the guys for the opening playoff,
Speaker 1: the one dude and I don't have their names memorized,
Speaker 1: but the one dude called over and said, hey, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go right, And Jimmy's like yep. So as
Speaker 1: soon as the puck drops, Jimmy skates over to the
Speaker 1: other guy.
Speaker 2: They dropped their.
Speaker 1: Gloves, they've rolled up their sleeves, and they go trying
Speaker 1: to hit each other and they head ninety eight percent
Speaker 1: of the time unsuccessfully. And then while they were cleaning
Speaker 1: up that fight, Ed says to Bill, Hey, Bill, we're next,
Speaker 1: and Bill's like mm hmm, wow.
Speaker 5: What an interesting unwritten rules of the games sort of
Speaker 5: thing that is, you know.
Speaker 2: What it's like. It strikes me.
Speaker 1: You remember when you were talking about dueling culture, right,
Speaker 1: I was inside of dueling culture.
Speaker 2: The book there's a book.
Speaker 5: Out about violence and the role that it plays and everything,
Speaker 5: and it convinced me of the why duels actually made
Speaker 5: sense in my whole life. I couldn't understand why would
Speaker 5: you participate in these duels? Not having duels is why
Speaker 5: you end up with the problems we have with gangs.
Speaker 5: It's the idea of you disrespected me. I need to
Speaker 5: defend my honor. I can't. I can't look like a
Speaker 5: punk to you, right, And in gangs, you know, in
Speaker 5: whatever city you live in, they shoot each other on
Speaker 5: the corner. Duels were just a more evolved way of handling.
Speaker 5: You know, I need to get my honor back. So
Speaker 5: we're going to have a duel where people usually didn't
Speaker 5: get hurt, kind of like your hockey fights. You didn't
Speaker 5: usually actually try to shoot the guy and the other
Speaker 5: guy didn't actually die to shoot back most of the time.
Speaker 5: Alexander Hamilton notwithstanding.
Speaker 1: But part of that was I'm not going to drag
Speaker 1: my family and friends into this and I do the
Speaker 1: same and a bunch of people get hurt or dies unnecessarily.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get together, we're gonna settle lists. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: defend my honor, and then generally speaking, we'll move on
Speaker 1: with our lives again.
Speaker 2: Sorry to Alex Hamilton.
Speaker 5: Probably with a little bit of a don't do it again,
Speaker 5: or next time I'll have to actually shoot you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely true. So there's a fair amount of
Speaker 1: that in hockey that if guys get it, because cheap
Speaker 1: shots can be dangerous in hockey, people get like their
Speaker 1: lives changed. And if you engage in that sort of
Speaker 1: thing or are picking on the little star or whatever,
Speaker 1: guys will step up and say, this ain't happening anymore.
Speaker 2: We're going and they settle it.
Speaker 1: And what was so interesting about this, and this is
Speaker 1: about society about hockey in a way, is I was
Speaker 1: watching the videotape of the telecast, and as is inevitable
Speaker 1: in sports broadcasting now, part of the broadcast team is
Speaker 1: a rules official, a rules expert, generally a retired referee
Speaker 1: in the case hockey, and the play by play guy
Speaker 1: and the color guy asked the rules guy, the former
Speaker 1: ref They said, now, how would you get control of this?
Speaker 2: What do you think of this situation?
Speaker 1: After the third fight got done and then they cleaned
Speaker 1: up the ice and they played a hockey game, the
Speaker 1: ref said, oh, I love this.
Speaker 2: This is perfect. We get all of it out of
Speaker 2: the way.
Speaker 1: This the bad blood, the scores that needed to be settled,
Speaker 1: We eliminated it in the first nine seconds. Guys got
Speaker 1: their penalty minutes, and now we're going to play hockey.
Speaker 2: This is perfect. We got rid of all of it.
Speaker 2: And I thought, wow, that's an interesting take.
Speaker 5: You said something during this segment. I believe you will
Speaker 5: remember on your deathbed. Oh lord said I used to
Speaker 5: watch a lot hockey, but now I don't have time
Speaker 5: for it, and you're gonna lay there in bed and
Speaker 5: your deathbed you'r dB thinking too busy for hockey.
Speaker 2: A dB on his dB so much hockey unwatched. They'd
Speaker 2: be my final words.
Speaker 5: If only I've watched. Okay, so I want to get
Speaker 5: to this. Two things from USA Today. One on the
Speaker 5: cover Missoo the Goat whins USA Today's Favorite Pet Contest.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize they were having a favorite Pet contest,
Speaker 5: but apparently people sent in there their pets and how
Speaker 5: they love them. And there's all kinds of different pets
Speaker 5: and a goat one, but it says here people who
Speaker 5: get it get it. Your pet isn't just an animal
Speaker 5: that lives in your home. It's your confident, your pal
Speaker 5: when you're scared, your best friend. Okay, it can be
Speaker 5: your best friend and comfort you and you're scared. If
Speaker 5: it's your confident, I think it's a little weird.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The only person I tell is my dog.
Speaker 1: I actually refer to Baxter, my dog, as my best
Speaker 1: doggy pal. But I throw in the qualifier there because
Speaker 1: if he was literally my confident, I mean, although I
Speaker 1: talked to him, especially when Judy's not around.
Speaker 5: But if it's your only confident, which doesn't. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 5: the other thing from USA Today, I want to.
Speaker 1: Member, well, hey, a goat winning the best pet is
Speaker 1: less perverse to me than a dude winning Miss Universe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go. Speaking of that sort of thing.
Speaker 5: USA Today out with a poll today what percentage of
Speaker 5: Americans identify as LGBTQ plus. It is out. According to
Speaker 5: USA Today, ten percent ten percent of all Americans identify
Speaker 5: as LBGTQ plus. And as we all know from very
Speaker 5: you know, you get on Brown University campus and it's
Speaker 5: like forty percent or something. It says you're mostly bisexual
Speaker 5: bisexual people with driving. The numbers absolutely laughable. There's no
Speaker 5: way about how social opinion polling is useless. There's no
Speaker 5: way one out of ten people are LGBTQ plus folks.
Speaker 2: Here's what you need to know if you don't know
Speaker 2: this already.
Speaker 1: De Q queer means I'm not down with the status
Speaker 1: quo man, That's all it means. It's a virtue signal
Speaker 1: among young people to say I'm fighting the power.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm queer.
Speaker 1: And I've been taught that saying there's men and women
Speaker 1: is part of the patriarchy.
Speaker 2: Since I was in kindergarten. You got to forgive the kids.
Speaker 2: They didn't raise themselves.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say I'm queer to show that
Speaker 1: I'm like, not down with the establishment.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: That's all it means. So it's just silly and the
Speaker 2: whole bisexual thing.
Speaker 1: I remember a story came out a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago when I think America was first waking up to
Speaker 1: the perversity of the indoctrination going on in schools, and
Speaker 1: one mom was talking about how listening to her daughters
Speaker 1: and daughter and her friends talking in the back of
Speaker 1: the car, several of them stated that they were bisexual
Speaker 1: when they were pre sexual. They were pre adolescent, They
Speaker 1: weren't anything sexual, They just knew it was cool to
Speaker 1: say so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do get that sense, particularly among women. Of course,
Speaker 5: you know, two drinks away from being bisexual.
Speaker 2: That's an unfortunate stereotype.
Speaker 5: No, I do know that it is is cool among
Speaker 5: young particularly women, to be bisexuals kind of in or
Speaker 5: groovy or something.
Speaker 1: Would I would only quibble by saying it is cool
Speaker 1: and groovy to claim to be bisexual, even if you.
Speaker 2: Never have and have no real intention to interest. It's
Speaker 2: street credit.
Speaker 5: Any thought on that text line is four one five
Speaker 5: two KFTC. Christine No really GLAMs herself up for being
Speaker 5: on TV whenever she's got a thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is true.
Speaker 1: I wonder if when you sign on to Trump World,
Speaker 1: even as president, you, as a woman, you sign a
Speaker 1: vow saying I will be as hot as possible for
Speaker 1: all public appearance.
Speaker 5: She is also somewhat fresh off a divorce, so that
Speaker 5: might have something to do with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Oh, speaking of women in Trump World, Caroline Leavitt,
Speaker 1: who's absolutely knocking it out of the park, is a
Speaker 1: press secretary and makes KJP look like an incompetent dope,
Speaker 1: partly because she was an incompetent dope.
Speaker 2: She's twenty seven.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1: And she's married to a fifty eight or fifty nine
Speaker 1: year old real estate developer.
Speaker 5: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Also clear violation of the half your age plus seven rule.
Speaker 5: She also just had a baby fairly recently, which is
Speaker 5: that's got to be something. You got a baby and
Speaker 5: then you get the call want to be the White
Speaker 5: House Press secretary. Okay, coolest job ever launching pad to anything.
Speaker 5: Never gonna be home and never I mean just the
Speaker 5: I've heard these various Dana Prino and various press secretaries
Speaker 5: Shawn Spicer talk about it's just your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, interesting. Anyway, I thought this was amusing and good.
Speaker 1: We mentioned fire yesterday, not the conflagration of matter turning
Speaker 1: it back into carbon, but releasing the energy therein. But
Speaker 1: the foundation for individual rights and expression, and we get
Speaker 1: their newsletters and recently they hit us with this. There's
Speaker 1: this gal in a Germantown, Tennessee that had some Halloween decorations,
Speaker 1: including a skeleton dog and a couple of other things,
Speaker 1: a handful of skeletons, a skeleton, human skeleton, and a
Speaker 1: skeleton dog. Then she reused them for election Day, dressing
Speaker 1: them up with political signs and more patriotic garb. Well,
Speaker 1: come December, a town officer told her her holiday decorations
Speaker 1: have to be taken one month down, one month after
Speaker 1: the holiday. So even though she updated her skeletons for
Speaker 1: Christmas and added an inflatable tree in a Santa Claus,
Speaker 1: the town said, no, those are Halloween decorations. We order
Speaker 1: you to take them down and and if you don't,
Speaker 1: you will be fined five hundred dollars per day according
Speaker 1: to the ordinance.
Speaker 5: Violating the the the what is the what is the
Speaker 5: goal there? Just it's an eye sword to some people.
Speaker 1: It's to eliminate guy who keeps his Christmas decorations up
Speaker 1: all year and they look.
Speaker 2: Tawdry and stupid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not bothered by that. But there's somebody a
Speaker 5: couple of blocks from me. They have and they have
Speaker 5: an elaborate Christmas setup, big giant lit up candy canes
Speaker 5: and lights strewn across and like a walkway entrance to
Speaker 5: their sidewalk, and yeah, Santa, and it's it's it's still
Speaker 5: lit up every night. It's not only there, but plugged
Speaker 5: in every night.
Speaker 2: Oh my lord. Really Yeah.
Speaker 5: I walked to the gym to lift weights and I
Speaker 5: walk by it every day.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 1: So anyway, the town sited here ordered her to appear
Speaker 1: in court. You could face five hundred dollars a day,
Speaker 1: says Alexis the gal. You don't have to like my decorations,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean Germantown has the right to force
Speaker 1: me to take them down. This America, even our local
Speaker 1: government has to respect our rights, and so fire is
Speaker 1: defending her. It's a free expression. Interesting, having skeleton dogs
Speaker 1: is a Christmas decoration.
Speaker 5: You're express America. You're expressing that you're a nut job,
Speaker 5: but you are expressing something. It's whimsical as far as
Speaker 5: I'm concerned. But I had something else I wanted to
Speaker 5: say about this, but it flitted out of my head.
Speaker 5: I think it is slightly ironic given the recent conversation about.
Speaker 2: The freedom of speech in Germany.
Speaker 1: We will give you your freedom of speech, but we
Speaker 1: will improve it with German order.
Speaker 2: German town indeed hmmm.
Speaker 5: All the Ukraine Russia stuff is kind of pushed the
Speaker 5: Hamas Israel ceasefire off the map, but it still goes on,
Speaker 5: continues to be a bunch of evil lunatics that should
Speaker 5: be killed today, as they displayed earlier. Today, we'll talk
Speaker 5: about that, among other things Armstrong and Getty. I'm interested
Speaker 5: in following the different ways different news outlets are handling
Speaker 5: the return of murdered bodies by Hamas to Israel as
Speaker 5: part of the cease fire agreement. New York Post has
Speaker 5: Day of Mourning. Hamas puts on sickening parade with bodies
Speaker 5: of youngest hostages and two other Israelis in a show
Speaker 5: of forcement to inflict maximum pain. I find that to
Speaker 5: be an incredibly accurate headline and not prejudicial in the least.
Speaker 5: I think that's I think Hamas would say, yeah, that's
Speaker 5: exactly what we were doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree the Fox version.
Speaker 5: I was just looking up at the TV Hamas releases
Speaker 5: bodies of four murdered hostages, which I like calling them murdered,
Speaker 5: as opposed to the ABC headline I mentioned yesterday where
Speaker 5: they said something antiseptic like Hamas returns four bodies or
Speaker 5: something like this cease deceased, Yeah, something like that. I
Speaker 5: haven't heardly passed away of old age. This is from
Speaker 5: ABC News. I haven't heard this yet.
Speaker 7: A somber and emotional day in Israel's the bodies of
Speaker 7: four Israelis, including the youngest and one of the oldest hostages,
Speaker 7: taken captive by Hamas during the horrific attacks on October
Speaker 7: seventh and twenty twenty three, have now been returned to
Speaker 7: Israel in coffin's Hamas identifying them as Shari b Bass
Speaker 7: and her two young sons, Kafir and Ariel, aged just
Speaker 7: nine months and four years when they were abducted from
Speaker 7: Kibbutz near Oz.
Speaker 5: They abducted a four month old and a nine month old.
Speaker 5: So what you just said? Something like that? Two little kids?
Speaker 5: Little kids either way, and they're dead now. And why
Speaker 5: this isn't a bigger deal? I don't no, I have
Speaker 5: you mentioned this earlier. I do think it's why some
Speaker 5: of the news organizations are being so careful to word
Speaker 5: it the way they do, returning in coffins. How'd that happen?
Speaker 5: Because your lefty college students are saying, well, is us
Speaker 5: bombs that killed these people? Or Israeli bombs, US bombs
Speaker 5: dropped by Israel that killed these people. But by any moral,
Speaker 5: reasonable decent or international law, Hamas is still responsible for
Speaker 5: the deads.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I take a hostage in a sense, including little children,
Speaker 1: and they end up dead in the midst of a conflict, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's on you.
Speaker 5: If I take a hostage and the police, in an
Speaker 5: attempt to kill me kill the hostage, I get charged
Speaker 5: with murder.
Speaker 1: That's the way we're especially if you deliberately use the
Speaker 1: hostage as a shield.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is no moral equivalence here, no, So.
Speaker 5: Why they just can't call them murdered?
Speaker 8: Yes, Katie, just as side about the coffins Hamas returned them.
Speaker 8: They're locked and they didn't give them keys. It's just
Speaker 8: like another way.
Speaker 2: To taunt them.
Speaker 5: Wow, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: You know what term needs to be used a lot
Speaker 1: more is Islamic supremacist. It is a concise and descriptive
Speaker 1: term of a lot of what's happening around the world.
Speaker 1: These people are quite literally Islamic supremacists. They believe the
Speaker 1: entire world should be taken over in the name of Islam,
Speaker 1: and a harsh interpretation of it should be enforced at
Speaker 1: the point of their guns. And if they take over
Speaker 1: your country, that's precisely what's going to happen.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, and a lot of these Islamist nut jobs rape
Speaker 5: little boys, so they're not even living up to their
Speaker 5: pure religious standards anyway. Oh no, No, the reason I
Speaker 5: wanted to bring this up at all is because I
Speaker 5: was so angered. This might be the most angering thing
Speaker 5: I've ever heard on NBR NPR. They did the story,
Speaker 5: so Hamas does another one giant stage lights post inflammatory statements.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is not the way you act if
Speaker 5: you actually want peace and to live side by side.
Speaker 2: With somebody, which they don't. Right while the world.
Speaker 5: Keeps talking about two state and solution and all this crap,
Speaker 5: you're gonna live side by side with somebody who treats
Speaker 5: your bodies of dead babies like this of your people
Speaker 5: when they hand the BAC over. But NPR referred to
Speaker 5: it as Hamas in a show of strength, displayed the
Speaker 5: bodies a show of strength. Oh well, that's nice way
Speaker 5: to put a positive, kind of cool spin on the
Speaker 5: way they did it. Really like that, NPR doge can't
Speaker 5: defund you fast enough?
Speaker 2: Well, and just that.
Speaker 1: Small sub section of society that happens to control so
Speaker 1: much of the media is just I mean, it's number one,
Speaker 1: it's incredibly annoying, and two, it's incredibly damn when in
Speaker 1: the fact that they in their radical ILK, and they
Speaker 1: are radicals by any standard, the fact that they in
Speaker 1: their ILK control education to a large extent as well
Speaker 1: in the country. That might be the greatest failing h
Speaker 1: in the United States in the last fifty years. Allowing
Speaker 1: that to happen, to be cowed and shamed or hoodwinked
Speaker 1: into letting perverse ideas like radical gender theory or you know,
Speaker 1: critical race theory and all of those critical theory things
Speaker 1: that you know, we've talked about a million times. But
Speaker 1: to let them take over our nation's schools, What the
Speaker 1: hell happened?
Speaker 5: What do you suppose the origin of hoodwinked? Is the
Speaker 5: term specifically, yeah, means fooled, tricked.
Speaker 1: I don't know, something to do with, you know, literally
Speaker 1: wearing a hood and your your emotions or intentions are.
Speaker 2: Hidden or something like that.
Speaker 5: It's amazing how many phrases we all use on a
Speaker 5: daily basis that we don't have any idea the origin of,
Speaker 5: but we know what they mean, so we use them anyway.
Speaker 5: I find that interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, yeah, I think it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it illustrates some of the dynamics of communication, human communication. Right,
Speaker 1: let's see, Oh, here you go, this is interesting. The
Speaker 1: first known use of hoodwink dates back to the year
Speaker 1: fifteen sixty two.
Speaker 5: What a year to have the plague.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The term hoodwink means to deceive or to trick. It's
Speaker 1: past tense as well as past participle as hoodwink. To
Speaker 1: origin fifteen sixties, the phrasal verb hoodwink was used to
Speaker 1: denote to blindfold blind by covering the eyes. By combining
Speaker 1: the two terms hood and wink, both nouns blind the mind,
Speaker 1: slead to see by disguise. To hoodwink, or put something
Speaker 1: over on someone, drives from the act of thieves, literally
Speaker 1: throwing a hood on victims before robbing them, thereby making
Speaker 1: them wink, which has an archaic annotation to close one's eyes.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, okay, So literally you're throwing a hood over
Speaker 1: somebody's head to deceive them or trick them.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 5: Hamas had a big giant behind them as they hand
Speaker 5: over that. We now know locked coffins of these dead
Speaker 5: babies that you murdered, and you lock them just to
Speaker 5: make it that much more difficult on the Israelis and
Speaker 5: the families. Anyway, they had a giant poster, isn't it
Speaker 5: like a billboard the size of a highway billboard of
Speaker 5: Net and Yahoo with blood coming out of his eyes
Speaker 5: and his ears and his teeth, with the dead people
Speaker 5: beneath them, blaming Net and Yahoo for the deaths. Okay,
Speaker 5: there you go. There's only one thing you can do
Speaker 5: with these Hamas jobs, and that's kill every single one
Speaker 5: of them. I wonder how soon.
Speaker 1: Or you could kill them, Oh that's right, that's what
Speaker 1: you said. Or you could come to a two state
Speaker 1: solution with somebody who's vowed to wipe you from the
Speaker 1: face of the earth. And the moment they hoodwinked you
Speaker 1: into thinking they wanted to live peacefully, they slaughtered your people.
Speaker 2: Yes, let's negotiate, shall we.
Speaker 5: I am not going to be here tomorrow, as I
Speaker 5: am celebrating my birthday by taking a day off, and.
Speaker 1: I'm finally I and my radical ideas will have full sway. Michael,
Speaker 1: our time has arrived. About time, yes, but on your
Speaker 1: uniform for tomorrow's show.
Speaker 5: Joe's ten days older than me. So you had your
Speaker 5: birthday last week and you had your kids come to
Speaker 5: be with you to celebrate your birthday, which I've worked
Speaker 5: out that way, Yeah, which I would want to do
Speaker 5: if I weren't parenting them every single day all day.
Speaker 5: I want to be away from my kids on my birthday.
Speaker 5: So that is what I am doing. I'm not exactly
Speaker 5: sure what I'm doing, but I'm going to do something
Speaker 5: that is not raising kids tomorrow. But it has been
Speaker 5: amazing how much work I've had to put in to
Speaker 5: try to get thirty six hours free. I mean the
Speaker 5: amount of I remember this back when I had a
Speaker 5: really hard job, and I know a lot of people
Speaker 5: probably do now. The amount of work you have to
Speaker 5: do to take a couple of days off from your
Speaker 5: job makes it at some point think I'm not sure
Speaker 5: it's worth it. I'm not sure that before, and as yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm not sure the trade off is working here. It's
Speaker 5: so much work to be gone for a couple of days,
Speaker 5: and then when I come back, there'll be a bunch
Speaker 5: of work to do. And I'm kind of in this
Speaker 5: situation with the kids a little bit, just so many,
Speaker 5: you know, things to lay out with a sitter or
Speaker 5: whoever is going to get them around all the different
Speaker 5: things volleyball and school and blah blah Blah's.
Speaker 1: A boy hanging in with the pre dawn volleyball practices.
Speaker 1: He had it at six this morning. I haven't checked
Speaker 1: in at two six am volleyball practices this week. At
Speaker 1: the first match last night, though, and it was an
Speaker 1: away game, I did not see it, but I guess
Speaker 1: it went pretty well.
Speaker 5: I asked him if he has nervous. He said not
Speaker 5: in the least. So he is one of those people that,
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, has that genetic makeup where being and
Speaker 5: he doesn't like giving speeches stuff like that. He just
Speaker 5: does not get nervous in front of a crowd. Part
Speaker 5: of it is his whole. He's not a stoner as
Speaker 5: far as I can tell yet anyway, but he just
Speaker 5: has a I don't care with everything, laconic. I think,
Speaker 5: very high schooler. I don't care about anything. You know what,
Speaker 5: you know, it makes his easy, dad, I don't care.
Speaker 5: That's he says about so many things.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. And it's taken me a long
Speaker 1: time to get there. But like playing golf, I'll occasionally
Speaker 1: have a bit of a bad run and somebody will
Speaker 1: express a little sympathy and I'll tell him, you know what,
Speaker 1: I have the advantage of not giving an ass.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not that I'm not trying. It's that
Speaker 1: I recognize that there is a certain degree of failure
Speaker 1: and it just happened.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 1: And I used to get so hung up and mad
Speaker 1: and self critical and all. Now it's like, Eh, I
Speaker 1: played Gladys Can you hit the harp? I played with
Speaker 1: this guy in high school. I've told this story before,
Speaker 1: but I think it the other day.
Speaker 5: If smartphones had existed at the time, we all would
Speaker 5: have recorded him and he would have been an internet sensation.
Speaker 5: He was a very odd bird, nicest guy in the world,
Speaker 5: but very very odd. He drove a milk truck. He
Speaker 5: not for a living. That's what he drove to school
Speaker 5: and back. He got this three wheeled old timey nineteen
Speaker 5: fifties milk truck, no doors on it, and that's what
Speaker 5: he drove for his car. Super nice guy.
Speaker 2: Now that's a trade bar.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had many. He was just an odd guy.
Speaker 2: Everybody liked him.
Speaker 8: He was like he was.
Speaker 5: It was the weird thing that happened sometimes, like he
Speaker 5: was popular yet so on the outside of norms. It
Speaker 5: was anyway, But when he played golf, he would eat
Speaker 5: a bad shot and he'd get so mad and he
Speaker 5: would throw clubs and release a string of cussing that
Speaker 5: was just and we would all be crying. I mean,
Speaker 5: like couldn't stand up. We were laughing so hard on
Speaker 5: our hands and knees, trying to catch our breath laughing.
Speaker 5: He would just lose his mind. Wasn't an act. He'd
Speaker 5: just absolutely lose his mind. Wow, it was so funny.
Speaker 5: And every time, and at some point you'd think, don't
Speaker 5: you haven't you caught on that? What's gonna happen? I mean,
Speaker 5: you hit a lot of bad shots?
Speaker 1: Is it so hard to do?
Speaker 5: Every single time?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: Mother?
Speaker 5: Kicking things and thrown every shot?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 5: What happened to him?
Speaker 2: One of the I oh, please employ the internet.
Speaker 1: I had a classmate in high school I was on
Speaker 1: one hundred percent certain would end up in prison or
Speaker 1: be dead. I tried to figure out what happened to him,
Speaker 1: and I just can't and I'm so curious. But anyway,
Speaker 1: withering withering sentence that has rained in many of the
Speaker 1: temper of many a hot headed golfer is if a
Speaker 1: truly elite player says, you're not good enough to get
Speaker 1: that mad maah yeah. In other words, you're gonna f
Speaker 1: up a certain percentage of the time, like all the time.
Speaker 1: Why are you getting mad?
Speaker 5: Right? This isn't an aberration, well right, yeah, exactly, it's
Speaker 5: a bitter perspective. We'll finish strong next farm strong.
Speaker 7: The best way to reheat your pizza if you dunk
Speaker 7: your pizza in water before airfrying or microwaving it, it.
Speaker 5: Turns out just as fresh as when you bought it.
Speaker 5: Let's dunk it into the water. Now, into the air fryer. Alright,
Speaker 5: I put it in for three minutes. It's definitely feeling
Speaker 5: crispyer on the crust. Let's do a taste test.
Speaker 1: It tastes exactly how it toasted last night, fresh from
Speaker 1: the box.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I prefer the limp, soggy pizza you get when you
Speaker 5: throw it in the micro.
Speaker 2: Or the dried out.
Speaker 1: You know, husk of a piece of pizza, uh, dried
Speaker 1: out by the fridge. Now, it does make sense that
Speaker 1: pizza loses moisture in the fridge.
Speaker 2: But dipping it in water.
Speaker 6: I've just sprinkled water on it and it works pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Katie, you're nodding your head.
Speaker 8: Yes, Yeah, can confirm this one.
Speaker 5: That's when like you dip it in water. Yeah, you're
Speaker 5: surprised at this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I should say this phrase or not.
Speaker 5: But you used to consider yourself, donut Jesus, as you
Speaker 5: could bring a donut back from the dead. Back when
Speaker 5: we were we would pie donuts and Joe would eat
Speaker 5: them and they were several days stale, and he would
Speaker 5: bring them back from the dead by sprinkling.
Speaker 1: Water on a party, by sprinkling water. You're right, You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I'm so old now I've forgotten my own
Speaker 1: magical abilities. You're right, Donut Jesus. Apologies for the sacrilegious
Speaker 1: nature of the phrase, but yes, that's what they called me.
Speaker 5: Yes, and it would by puting a little water on
Speaker 5: there because it got dried out. You micro riden. It's
Speaker 5: back to you know, doing it.
Speaker 1: But but to actually dip the slice, it seems crazy
Speaker 1: to me, like it would fall apart or be mushy
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 2: But then you throw it. You know, what the hell,
Speaker 2: I'm an open minded feller. I will try this.
Speaker 8: I'm just finding comfort that none of you said.
Speaker 5: Oh, cold pizza is the best.
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 5: It's not better than the hot pizza. It's I don't
Speaker 5: like cold pizza.
Speaker 8: No, it's gross.
Speaker 5: I' about cold fried chicken. Cold fried chicken I might
Speaker 5: actually like better than it when it was hot.
Speaker 8: I don't know that I've ever had cold fried chicken.
Speaker 5: Get out here, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, Jack, if you ever had chicken and
Speaker 1: waffles when we lived in Charlotte, best thing ever?
Speaker 2: I got to admit.
Speaker 1: I heard it and thought, wait a minute, why the
Speaker 1: why the hell would you have chicken and waf But
Speaker 1: what meal are you having?
Speaker 5: But that's why, that's why I washed myself with a
Speaker 5: rag on a stick.
Speaker 2: It's proof that God loves us and wants us to
Speaker 2: be happy.
Speaker 5: I just saw this headline. Maybe you can explain Target
Speaker 5: sued by Florida for hiding DEI faulting disastrous Pride Month campaign.
Speaker 5: So trying to get DEI out of Target, and they
Speaker 5: were hiding that they were still doing it apparently, which is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: There are companies and universities that are absolutely just renaming it,
Speaker 1: doing the same things with the same people, but disguising
Speaker 1: what they're up to so they don't run a foul
Speaker 1: of the laws, because racial discrimination is evil and you
Speaker 1: shouldn't do it.
Speaker 9: It's final, so well comments and.
Speaker 2: Wiz closure for the show.
Speaker 5: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe getting Let's get
Speaker 5: a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be delightful. Let's begin with Michaelangelow, our technical director.
Speaker 2: Michael.
Speaker 6: Okay, this might be a controversial idea, but just Trump
Speaker 6: likes UFC right, he has putin get his two toughest men. Zelenski,
Speaker 6: get his two toughest men, and they fight it out
Speaker 6: for CRIMEA.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is controversial. Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman. As
Speaker 1: a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 8: Certainly not as thoughtful as Michael's. But I actually can't
Speaker 8: think of any food that is served hot that tastes
Speaker 8: better cold.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it has to be better cold,
Speaker 5: but cold pizza is it's different.
Speaker 1: Tastes a trait. Maybe you ought to work on being
Speaker 1: a little less prejudiced against a little more open minded exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that would be good Jack.
Speaker 2: A final thought for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a text from somebody that more or
Speaker 5: less agrees with our take on the whole Ukraine Russia
Speaker 5: Trump thing and hoping that it works out. But mystified
Speaker 5: et cetera. Anyway, ended with you guys are always great.
Speaker 5: You make each weekday better and then references my motorcycle
Speaker 5: wreck where he says Jack, stay focused on the road man.
Speaker 5: My mild increase in daily he depends on it. So

Speaker 5: in daily joy.
Speaker 2: Wow, glad to do it.
Speaker 1: Uh, get in some more emails on the whole what
