Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty. So I
Speaker 2: got hit hard with.
Speaker 1: The rotavirus Tuesday night. Google it or chat gpt it.
Speaker 1: It's going around the country, particularly northern California. But there's
Speaker 1: hot spots all around the country. It's a stomach thing
Speaker 1: hits you all of a sudden. Man, it did me.
Speaker 1: It's like I went from perfectly fine to good God,
Speaker 1: what's wrong with me? Like immediately, Wow, I thought I
Speaker 1: was gonna vomit or whatever. Anyway, So I slept all
Speaker 1: day Wednesday and much of the day yesterday, and consequently
Speaker 1: didn't sleep at all last night, not a single minute.
Speaker 1: Oh my, I've only done a few times in my life.
Speaker 1: But I didn't sleep a single minute, and like wasn't
Speaker 1: even close. I just wasn't tired. Anyway. At some point
Speaker 1: during the night, I decided, for who knows what reason,
Speaker 1: to watch Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Wow, and uh, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: I thought of that movie the other day. Did something happen?
Speaker 1: Could be maybe maybe we both were struck by something
Speaker 1: that caused us to think about it. But something I
Speaker 1: wanted to say about that, but we'll have to do
Speaker 1: that after Clipso.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's take a fond look back of the week
Speaker 3: that was. It's the beloved Friday tradition, cow clips of
Speaker 3: the week. He's in mixed signals only deal to end
Speaker 3: the war with a RAM.
Speaker 4: Look what President Trump has done here is create an
Speaker 4: unbearable situation for the Iranian regime.
Speaker 5: Oman will behave just like everybody else that will have
Speaker 5: to blow them up.
Speaker 1: I understand that they'll be fine.
Speaker 6: And here today we are starting to see the situation
Speaker 6: simmering down, with neither side indicating the ceasefire is faltering.
Speaker 3: Tax one hundred percent anyone from California that receives any
Speaker 3: of those funds we want to tax one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: California is actually the worst managed state in the Union.
Speaker 3: I would never invest there.
Speaker 4: The consequences for zombie people, they don't have them.
Speaker 3: It's like anarchy. It's like it's psycho these people.
Speaker 4: When I unplug them and they're all going to Seattle
Speaker 4: where the mayor will welcome them.
Speaker 1: We will focus on the worst landlords in New York City.
Speaker 7: We will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards.
Speaker 1: Five police officers were injured after official say an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old driver plowed into a crowd. We believe that
Speaker 1: we can arrest our way towards safety.
Speaker 8: We're rome Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
Speaker 6: I mean he's a vegan who thinks God is non
Speaker 6: binary and that there's actually six biological sexes.
Speaker 1: Here we see the US Secretary of Health and Human
Speaker 1: Services wrangling and removing a pair of black racer snakes
Speaker 1: from doctor Oza's patio. The FBI is seizing three hundred
Speaker 1: gold bars, along with two million dollars in cash and
Speaker 1: thirty five luxury watches from the Virginia home of David Rush. Stunningly,
Speaker 1: driver Katie Thomas houlds up her right arm, revealing she
Speaker 1: doesn't have her right hands.
Speaker 3: So you want to just call this a day, I
Speaker 3: don't want to call it a handhole. You have a
Speaker 3: dirty mouth, but it's constant with this. This is what
Speaker 3: these people do.
Speaker 1: The bitch, Nazi bitch, that's what you are.
Speaker 2: My health.
Speaker 3: I'll make your crudalis ongr whatever you want. Oh, you
Speaker 3: have a book, well as what happened, I don't know
Speaker 3: what happened. I mean when I as I watched it,
Speaker 3: I thought, oh my god, he's having a stroke.
Speaker 1: It's clips of the week.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Britney Spears offers to make me a
Speaker 3: lasagna and go swimming. I'm in hard to say no to.
Speaker 1: We got a text. I'll bet she puts peas in
Speaker 1: her lasagna. I don't know if that's a thing, but
Speaker 1: I didn't know somebody who made great lasagna but insisted
Speaker 1: on having olives in it. And it's the only time
Speaker 1: I'd ever had olives in it. Oh, I didn't dig
Speaker 1: it at all, but I could see olives. You didn't
Speaker 1: dig it, pick them out?
Speaker 3: No, it just seems olives are an Italian thing, and
Speaker 3: peas just seems out of left field to me.
Speaker 1: And then that one story, if you didn't hear it,
Speaker 1: is a woman got pulled over by the cops for
Speaker 1: the stupid ticket of having a cell phone in your hand.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the cops said, I saw it in your
Speaker 1: right hand. Oh yeah, I don't have a hand. Juled,
Speaker 1: that's a good one.
Speaker 3: He gave her the ticket anyway, until the police department
Speaker 3: was so ridiculed that they said never mind. Oh boy, So.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Annie Hall. I don't know if
Speaker 1: y'all have a Woody Allen movie. One best picture I
Speaker 1: think the year it came out Oscar. It's a fantastic movie. God,
Speaker 1: I watched I probably watched half of it last night.
Speaker 1: It is brilliant. It's brilliant now. I can't imagine how
Speaker 1: brilliant it was for its time because it was so
Speaker 1: different than anything that I'd ever been Anyway, what he
Speaker 1: comes on there at the very beginning and the opening
Speaker 1: and says, there's an old joke where this old woman
Speaker 1: is at a restaurant and she said, God, this food
Speaker 1: is terrible and the portions are so small. And he said,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like life. I mean, you spend all
Speaker 1: your time in misery and struggle and work and worry
Speaker 1: and it goes by too fast, which is a very
Speaker 1: similar sort of thing. And for whatever reason, watching the
Speaker 1: movie got me thinking about reading his memoir. Apropos of
Speaker 1: Nothing I believe is his memoir by Woody Allen. It's
Speaker 1: really great if you have any interest in Woody Allen,
Speaker 1: or really just movies and show business, because he started
Speaker 1: out as a stand up comedian way way way back.
Speaker 1: In the day of early television and then became a
Speaker 1: famous director, and he knows everybody famous that's ever existed.
Speaker 1: One of the interesting things about him is he's a
Speaker 1: hardcore atheist. He's a real big none of this matters,
Speaker 1: and when you're dead, you're dead, and it's all just
Speaker 1: an accident of you know, science that are smart being existed,
Speaker 1: and his movies mean nothing ultimately, and nobody will remember
Speaker 1: him and that sort of thing, and he's fine with that,
Speaker 1: and I just I think it's it's interesting to go
Speaker 1: about trying to enjoy life when you've got the mindset
Speaker 1: of he's got. He never goes to award shows. He
Speaker 1: doesn't receive it, he doesn't go pick up awards. If
Speaker 1: he's nominated, he doesn't watch them. He doesn't care if
Speaker 1: he wins or loses. He's never seen any of his movies.
Speaker 1: He works, he directs them, and everything like that, he
Speaker 1: doesn't watch them. He just he has no interest in
Speaker 1: any of that sort of stuff. He said, like, there's
Speaker 1: usually a ballgame on opposite the oscars. I'd much rather
Speaker 1: watch that, And and I just I think that's an
Speaker 1: interesting I admire that in some ways, but I can't
Speaker 1: figure out where you get your happiness. His happiness is
Speaker 1: just in his work. He likes creating art, but he
Speaker 1: only likes creating it. He has no interest in what
Speaker 1: other people think of it. He doesn't read reviews, you know,
Speaker 1: all the things they said, he doesn't watch them.
Speaker 3: But he doesn't even watch them. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 3: where it crosses the line. In the crazy ones.
Speaker 1: Well, to me, you'd have to see it enough. You'd
Speaker 1: see a lot by in the editing process. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the director and so you'd see a lot of it.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't ever, you know, sit down and watch
Speaker 1: the whole movie end to end, or ever want to
Speaker 1: see it again or read a review, or cares what
Speaker 1: anybody thinks of it. It just does it and moves on.
Speaker 1: And I just on one end, I wish I could
Speaker 1: live my life that way, with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: On the other end, I don't know where you get
Speaker 1: your joy.
Speaker 3: I guess it's a joy going out going out for
Speaker 3: dinner in Manhattan with friends and having a lively conversation.
Speaker 1: He goes to the same restaurant and orders the same
Speaker 1: thing every night and has for like sixty years, which
Speaker 1: is interesting. I could do that that I could keep
Speaker 1: that I related and now you know, I figure a
Speaker 1: Woody Allen Hayter. You say, and then you, you know,
Speaker 1: marry your child, start sexing up your child, which is inaccurate.
Speaker 3: I believe that to be true. Yes, what you just said,
Speaker 3: speaking of New York City, I thought this was so good.
Speaker 3: I don't know Josh Barrow, the writer is vaguely familiar,
Speaker 3: but he pointed out the other day that if you
Speaker 3: wonder why hotels in New York are so expensive, this
Speaker 3: is why, as he said, do you know what rents are?
Speaker 3: Not you you like rent an apartment, but rent seeking.
Speaker 3: It's a term economist's use, meaning you manipulate the government
Speaker 3: into doing you a favor or passing a regulation that
Speaker 3: benefits you, and the financial gain you get from that
Speaker 3: is called rent by economists. Why I don't know, but
Speaker 3: mister Barrow points out the hotel union and the hotel
Speaker 3: owners worked together to get the city to ban new hotels.
Speaker 3: Hotel rates soared, and now labor and capital dividing up
Speaker 3: the rents collected. And it's connected to the headline from
Speaker 3: the New York Times the average pay of housekeepers in
Speaker 3: New York City hotels will increase to more than one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars a year as part of a contract
Speaker 3: settlement between an industry trade group and a powerful union.
Speaker 3: And that's the way rent seeking works. You cook up
Speaker 3: some flimsy excuse to limit any competition so you can
Speaker 3: jack up your rates, and then the union says, hey,
Speaker 3: we want our cut, and you say that's cool. That's
Speaker 3: fine because we're making much higher profits now. And who
Speaker 3: suffers the customers in the citizens. What's so brilliant about
Speaker 3: these unions is that they then put you in the
Speaker 3: unfortunate position of arguing that housekeepers should be paid less
Speaker 3: than like software engineers. Then someone yells at you that
Speaker 3: there's no such thing as unskilled labor. Then you just
Speaker 3: throw up your hands and say, fine, let's abandon capitalism. Fine,
Speaker 3: twenty five hundred dollars for two full beds on the
Speaker 3: smoking floor of a Times Square Marriot. Okay, super yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're actually dovetailing off the huge new deal. The Long
Speaker 3: Island Railroad got public employee union monopoly on service, no competition,
Speaker 3: union lawyers on both sides of the bargaining table. It's
Speaker 3: oh well, So getting.
Speaker 1: Back to the idea of trying to be happy with
Speaker 1: what you do or whatever, or just trying to be
Speaker 1: happy in general. Do you ever listen You made several
Speaker 1: albums with your band, do you ever listen to them?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sure you do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get in that oh yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 3: mean I can't do it too much or they just
Speaker 3: kind of worn out. But yeah, I don't think had pleasure
Speaker 3: from it.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3: Just no.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me that like only enjoying the process
Speaker 1: of things.
Speaker 3: I know Tom Petty has said that he never listens
Speaker 3: to the stuff when it's done.
Speaker 1: I wonder if people who are really great at stuff
Speaker 1: because I've said this before, but the great one, maybe
Speaker 1: the greatest college basketball coach of all time, Bobby Knight,
Speaker 1: maybe the greatest basketball coach of all time. Bobby Knight.
Speaker 1: He was asked after retired and everything like that, you know,
Speaker 1: if he could relive something or whatever, and he said,
Speaker 1: if I it's not the winning the championship or whatever,
Speaker 1: it's the process. That's what I like. If I could
Speaker 1: do anything again, it would be in a dark gym,
Speaker 1: me alone with some guys getting better. That's what I liked.
Speaker 3: The winning.
Speaker 1: It is just you know what comes at the end
Speaker 1: of that. But it's the process. And I wonder if
Speaker 1: that's how you get really really good at stuff, is
Speaker 1: that you enjoy the process so much like Larry Bird
Speaker 1: and Kobe Bryant or whoever else or already great, but
Speaker 1: get to the gym six hours before everybody else can shoot.
Speaker 3: Right. That's absolutely true, one hundred percent true. I've seen
Speaker 3: that in the number of different realms a human activities.
Speaker 3: Number one. If I could be like a Tom Petty
Speaker 3: and be constantly working on new stuff, I wouldn't listen
Speaker 3: to the old stuff much either. I'd be too busy,
Speaker 3: but I just don't have time. I've seen it in
Speaker 3: in golf, especially because they're like my son was super
Speaker 3: talented golfer, but he had no interest in grinding, in practicing,
Speaker 3: in working on his game, which is fine, you don't
Speaker 3: have to. And there are other kids that were contemporaries
Speaker 3: to his that just loved being on the range, loved
Speaker 3: working on their swings, and they're the ones who really
Speaker 3: excelled at it.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's an interesting philosophy.
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
Speaker 1: Uh the not. It's like I've I've I don't I
Speaker 1: haven't listened to our radio show really much, and I
Speaker 1: don't know that I ever will. Ever when it's over,
Speaker 1: someday we'll go back and listen to it.
Speaker 3: You either, No, including when we're doing it. No, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's that's yeah. Yeah. I do sometimes just to remind
Speaker 3: myself to avoid certain, you know, pitfalls, but not very
Speaker 3: often because all I can hear of the flaws makes
Speaker 3: me saying.
Speaker 1: You think you will like years from now, I want
Speaker 1: to listen to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably a little bit, I wonder, although for God's sake,
Speaker 3: I don't will we still be doing it? Lady, Ah
Speaker 3: tell you what, seventy year olds these days, they just
Speaker 3: don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: President Baron Trump.
Speaker 3: He's just like his old man. You don't remember him.
Speaker 3: It was funny days.
Speaker 5: You made it right, utters running.
Speaker 1: Along, tid that's what I'll sound like. We got more
Speaker 1: of the way, stay here, Armstrong, Heyetty.
Speaker 5: Apparently there's a TikTok trend going around that's popular in Utah.
Speaker 5: First time he makes that choice, he sits on the couch,
Speaker 5: The couch lag breaks and he goes flying and it's
Speaker 5: a horrible, horrible accident. Doctor and nurses told us that
Speaker 5: this is the third case they've seen of CouchSurfing here
Speaker 5: at Primary Children's. This terrible accident happened, and it's one
Speaker 5: more thing to talk to your kids about.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a TikTok trend, like these things become, and
Speaker 1: this one what they're strapping couches behind cars and pulling
Speaker 1: them down the street and riding them for fun.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the term CouchSurfing, as it's double meaning is clear.
Speaker 3: I would suggest to that person drowning into their phone,
Speaker 3: you don't caution your child against doing every single incredibly
Speaker 3: stupid thing separately. You kind of make a blanket lesson
Speaker 3: out of don't do things that are incredibly stupid and dangerous.
Speaker 3: Speaking of, so, you told me not to jump on
Speaker 3: a couch being pulled down the street at a high speed,
Speaker 3: but you never said about anything about an easy chair.
Speaker 3: So I did it, and your stupid ottoman strapped to
Speaker 3: the wing of a plane. So exactly.
Speaker 1: We talked about this story at the time the sentencing
Speaker 1: came down yesterday the Los Gaidos party. Mom, what a
Speaker 1: story do you remember?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, vaguely.
Speaker 1: Got teens drunk, pressured them to have sex. Got the
Speaker 1: maximum prison sentence yesterday. She is as kooky as anybody's
Speaker 1: ever been, particularly unique kind of crazy. You know, you
Speaker 1: got the the weird teachers who want to sex up
Speaker 1: young guys and relive there. I don't know what this
Speaker 1: woman was doing. She's fifty two years old. She was
Speaker 1: sentenced to thirty five years and ten months, so she's
Speaker 1: going to spend the rest of her life in jail
Speaker 1: for hosting alcohol fueled teen parties and orchestrating sexual encounters
Speaker 1: among miners during the pandemic. And these were kid kids
Speaker 1: ages thirteen to fifteen, so it wasn't even like sixteen
Speaker 1: to eighteen. Thirteen year old and she would say, if.
Speaker 3: I'm seventeen, you wouldn't have had to pressure me very much.
Speaker 3: But thirteen to fifteen year old sets just perverse.
Speaker 1: Guilty of forty eight charges, including sexual penetration of an
Speaker 1: intoxicated victim, influencing a child to engage in sexual activity
Speaker 1: with another child, providing alcohol to a minor, annoying or
Speaker 1: molesting a child, annoying, and attempting to swaye a witness
Speaker 1: from reporting a crime. I'll drop the annoying and just
Speaker 1: keep you in there for all the other horrible stuff.
Speaker 3: If annoying people who were a crime, I'd be wearing
Speaker 3: an orange jumpsuit right now. Let's be serious.
Speaker 1: She provided vodka, fireball, whiskey beer, and hard seltzers to
Speaker 1: party attendees, mostly thirteen to fifteen, gave them condoms, and
Speaker 1: encouraged them to gauge in sexual activity while intoxicated. It
Speaker 1: is kind of like people who don't bump fights, but
Speaker 1: she was doing sex. She'd get them so hammered they're
Speaker 1: vomiting and passed out, and like convince them to have
Speaker 1: sex when they're too drunk to even know.
Speaker 3: What the hell was going on. What a sicko. I know.
Speaker 1: Craziness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Seattle's crumbling coming up in a moment or two.
Speaker 3: And the worst chant ever Armstrong and Geeddy, that is
Speaker 3: the antifa types and far leftists and would be Marxist
Speaker 3: revolutionaries who have moved their camp to New Jersey now
Speaker 3: and are demonstrating and blocking and committing acts of violence
Speaker 3: outside and Immigration center. Were they in New Jersey? Every cop,
Speaker 3: every fed, shoot yourself in the head, all right, Marcus
Speaker 3: Espinosa reporting this has been escalating all week.
Speaker 6: Thursday night, in fact, got tense, extremely quickly. Protesters using
Speaker 6: trash cans, umbrellas, and makeshift shields trying to block view
Speaker 6: from entering and leaving the.
Speaker 3: Facility, and then they played the chanting We'll skip that,
Speaker 3: Michael and go to the next clip.
Speaker 6: Advocates, family members, and Democratic lawmakers say detainees have reported
Speaker 6: spoiled food, limited medical care, and an ongoing hunger strike,
Speaker 6: but DHS strongly dispus those claims, the agency posting on
Speaker 6: social media that detainees are having all their needs met,
Speaker 6: with Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin stating health officials
Speaker 6: were allowed to inspect that food service and its operations Thursday,
Speaker 6: but those assurances aren't satisfying enough for everyone out here.
Speaker 1: I don't want to give people spoiled food, but how
Speaker 1: good is the food supposed to be? And when I
Speaker 1: sneak into your country and you catch me, how good
Speaker 1: is it supposed to be?
Speaker 3: We had the talk, a tough talk in Mark Wayne
Speaker 3: audio yesterday. I thought we had it today, but he
Speaker 3: is saying, look, we're not running the holiday in here.
Speaker 3: These people are getting three meals a day in medical
Speaker 3: care and fresh water, fresh clean water. It's fine to
Speaker 3: agree let's end with this final clip.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hoda dead, put you my boy. I have your face. Mother,
Speaker 1: You're dead, boy.
Speaker 3: That's one of the Marxist protesters. Kill your whole family.
Speaker 3: I have your face. You're dead. I'm going to kill
Speaker 3: them all. You're dead. Right there you go. That's your
Speaker 3: leftist politics. And Antifa doesn't exist, by the way, remember that, hey, cut.
Speaker 1: There isn't is there? Anybody? Wouldn't be very many people
Speaker 1: that are. Look, I believe in having borders. You have
Speaker 1: to have borders. Legal immigration is wrong. It drives down wages.
Speaker 1: But I'm out here protesting because we're not treating them
Speaker 1: well enough. Most of the hardcore protesters out there want
Speaker 1: open borders, right, and this is a good reason too.
Speaker 1: It gives them, It gives them.
Speaker 3: Cover for that right exactly. Yeah, it's the hook. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: on the other coast in Seattle, great report here.
Speaker 9: Now it was obvious from the get go, the moment
Speaker 9: that the former public transit activists announced her candidacy for mayor,
Speaker 9: that Katie Wilson would be a living nightmare for Seattle.
Speaker 9: And now the crime is so bad that the police
Speaker 9: union is even taking honor in confidence that city is
Speaker 9: now giving us scenes like this. Residents are fed up
Speaker 9: and they know that as long as Katie Wilson is
Speaker 9: in charge, the city is not going.
Speaker 1: To help them.
Speaker 9: They've been abandoned. So they're taking their safety into their
Speaker 9: own hands, and they're building makeshift barricades, large metal planter
Speaker 9: boxes filled with dirt and gravel, trying to block off
Speaker 9: residential streets near one of Seattle's busiest and most dangerous areas,
Speaker 9: Aurora Ave North.
Speaker 1: It's terrifying to live here, and it's even more terrifying
Speaker 1: that the city is absolutely doing nothing to protect the
Speaker 1: citizens in this neighborhood. We're just afraid that somebody that
Speaker 1: a neighbor's going to have to die before the city
Speaker 1: will do something.
Speaker 3: Why love the detail that they're actually and those are obviously,
Speaker 3: you know, sane, reasonable people. They're building themselves military style
Speaker 3: barricades so that vehicles can't keep on can can't come
Speaker 3: on their streets, I've seen because thugs and shooters on
Speaker 3: foot are bad enough, but we gotta they're blocking off
Speaker 3: their streets. That's not a thing in America.
Speaker 1: If we're happening on the Battle, if it were happening
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, it would give tons of attention,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't because it's the West Coast, you know.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and run our old buddy, Jason Rantz there, Michael.
Speaker 4: You've got a bunch of neighbors who are sick and
Speaker 4: tired of almost one hundred separate shootings over the course
Speaker 4: of the last couple years, open air, drug use, prostitution everywhere,
Speaker 4: homelessness everywhere, and now they're saying, Okay, we're going to
Speaker 4: put up these barriers. The problem is city has already
Speaker 4: say they're going to take the barriers down, and they're
Speaker 4: not going to do anything different. They'll throw out some
Speaker 4: press release that says, hey, we're going to have some
Speaker 4: more police actions, some more proactive policing the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: The problem is you don't have enough cops to do that.
Speaker 4: We have just a little under nine hundred officers for
Speaker 4: the entire city of Seattle in a city that needs
Speaker 4: about sixteen hundred, so they can do any kind of
Speaker 4: enforcement for maybe a day or two. But you're just
Speaker 4: leaving another neighborhood vulnerable. So we'll just have one of
Speaker 4: these stories somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I went to Seattle, going
Speaker 1: on thirty years ago. H thank you gladys. That was
Speaker 1: a cloudy day, so cool, so clean, so safe feeling,
Speaker 1: and just so cool. It's like I remember saying similar
Speaker 1: with Portland. Was the same way. They're like clean San
Speaker 1: Francisco's they're all the cool of San Francisco but clean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when San Francisco is much cleaner than what it became.
Speaker 1: But but that's you know what policy matters. As we
Speaker 1: say over and over again.
Speaker 3: It really does. Are fans of leftist train wrecks. This
Speaker 3: Katie Wilson has the potential to be, speaking of Seattle
Speaker 3: like the Jimmy Hendrix of bad leftist mayors. She could
Speaker 3: make Brandon Johnson of Chicago look like mayor Daily. I mean,
Speaker 3: real potential. There bears watching, and I for one, I'm
Speaker 3: looking forward to it. Sorry, friends in Seattle, truly for
Speaker 3: what you must endure?
Speaker 1: Yeahvable I wonder how long you man, they'll put up
Speaker 1: with it. They were ready for another go around of
Speaker 1: a socialist mayor communist mayor Marxist mayor.
Speaker 3: So they don't they won't connect the terrible outcomes with
Speaker 3: the policies. They'll blame capitalism or something. Once somebody's delusional
Speaker 3: it becomes really hard to reel them back with facts
Speaker 3: because they are by definition unable to process them.
Speaker 1: Here's the challenge. There's the rub is Shakespeare might say, Oh,
Speaker 1: I've been on a Shakespeare kick lately, really enjoying really.
Speaker 3: Oh my son's going to be in Did I tell
Speaker 3: you this? He's finally getting back to acting cool. I'm
Speaker 3: shaking my head and rolling my ass. He's doing some
Speaker 3: summer Shakespeare.
Speaker 1: Ah awesome.
Speaker 3: And he's he's got two parts in this play because
Speaker 3: the first character, spoiler alert, doesn't live through the intermission.
Speaker 3: He dies at the end of the first act, and
Speaker 3: he plays a totally different character in the second half.
Speaker 3: And he loves doing Shakespeare. But one of the reasons
Speaker 3: he's so excited about this they're both very colorful characters
Speaker 3: with some comedic stuff. But he gets to act out
Speaker 3: his favorite stage direction. In all of Shakespeare, you have
Speaker 3: your lines right, and then you have your stage directions.
Speaker 3: His favorite stage direction is exit pursued by bear, and
Speaker 3: that's what his part does.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that there are still places that put on
Speaker 1: Shakespeare place. There are not universities where they still teach
Speaker 1: Shakespeare in literature. I've been reading a lot about that lately,
Speaker 1: and it's just amazing. If Shakespeare comes up, it's to
Speaker 1: deconstruct it.
Speaker 3: On de colonize Shakespeare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all white males and all that sort
Speaker 1: of crap, but none about you know, it being by
Speaker 1: most people's minds of the greatest writing of all time,
Speaker 1: drama and comedy, that sort of stuff. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a problem. What I'm glad they're still putting on the place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's have a joke before we take a break. Can
Speaker 1: I hear a joke? Number two?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 1: Michael? This is an old timey. All the late night
Speaker 1: shows are on vacation right now. Uh so this is
Speaker 1: seth Myers from I don't know when.
Speaker 8: Expert supported this week. There's so much trash has accumulated
Speaker 8: in Los Angeles they believe it could lead to a
Speaker 8: spread of the bubonic plague. Said people in Los Angeles,
Speaker 8: we are going to get so skinny.
Speaker 3: That's a great joke.
Speaker 1: Having just talked about the bubonic plague the other day,
Speaker 1: how about the Jimmy fallon joke before we take a break.
Speaker 10: Well, As the ongoing pilot shortage leads to more flight cancelations,
Speaker 10: senators have introduced a new bill to raise the mandatory
Speaker 10: retirement age for pilots. Yeah, that's who passengers want flying
Speaker 10: their plane. A pilot who thought his best days were
Speaker 10: behind him.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm back, I'm maverick.
Speaker 10: Can you go to our own Yeah, you'll know the
Speaker 10: pilot's older when he gets to sign gate B seven
Speaker 10: and yeo's bingo, you.
Speaker 3: Know, speaking of flying. Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, had a buddy who's a private pilot,
Speaker 1: and he he keeps getting his salary doubled for them
Speaker 1: to keep him because they're just art enough pilots out there.
Speaker 3: Wow, damn it, I missed my calling of flying. Flight
Speaker 3: attendants are united in asking us to stop doing this.
Speaker 3: We'll tell you what this is, he says chivally. Click
Speaker 3: right after the right after the break, stay with.
Speaker 7: Us poorly head out for the weekend updates on both
Speaker 7: wars with some new information of Vladimir Zelensky, President of Ukraine,
Speaker 7: just told CBS News that he sees Russia preparing a big,
Speaker 7: massive attack using drones, cruise and ballistic missiles to take
Speaker 7: place today or tomorrow night, with reports that large waves of.
Speaker 1: One way attack drones have already been launched at Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So wow, this might be practically a last ditch effort
Speaker 1: by uh Putin as he's been losing in the last
Speaker 1: couple of months. AnyWho, On the other war, the war
Speaker 1: with war fighting against Iran, Donald Trump is having a
Speaker 1: meeting right now in the White House sitch waiting room
Speaker 1: to make a final determination on the whole US Iran
Speaker 1: deal that we don't exactly know what the details are,
Speaker 1: but so that might happen today. And then finally this
Speaker 1: from the Financial Times. The director General of the IAEA,
Speaker 1: that's your International Atomic Energy Agency, is talking about Kazakhstan
Speaker 1: taking Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpiles. So that's what that
Speaker 1: deal would be.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Now, I got to get up to speed on
Speaker 3: Kazakhstani politics. Its job, tell you what what I've had enough.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a good I'd hear the
Speaker 3: worst idea I've ever heard my life. Right, So, flight
Speaker 3: attendant sets, your aerowaitresses are united in one request, nay demand,
Speaker 3: please stop poking them. Evidently they say every single day
Speaker 3: that happens. Somebody pokes them in the arm to get
Speaker 3: the attention, or in the ribs or in the rear end,
Speaker 3: and passengers evidently think that that's okay, and they interview
Speaker 3: a bunch of this is Washington Post flight attendants. Who
Speaker 3: you talk to any flight attendant for any airline, they
Speaker 3: will all agree it's something that we cannot stand and
Speaker 3: that we deal with soft and it's insane, says this
Speaker 3: one gallow's has been pinched on. Oh, this is a
Speaker 3: fellow who's been pinched on his butt multiple times.
Speaker 1: What so I just take my glass once it's empty
Speaker 1: with the ice cubes in it and shake it. Chick
Speaker 1: chick check, Hello, honey.
Speaker 3: Right, hey, help over he hey, sweetheie, or just you know,
Speaker 3: you know, just I whistle? Well, what so.
Speaker 1: Difference between a poke and a tap? I mean.
Speaker 3: No, don't touch them. Yes, many a parent has said
Speaker 3: to many a toddler, use your words. So let me
Speaker 3: read this to you. Flight attendants know you need them
Speaker 3: for a drinker, snack, to toss your trash, to answer
Speaker 3: a question, but they really really want you to communicate
Speaker 3: your needs without using physical contact. It's a situation that
Speaker 3: unfolds so unfrequently on planes that some cabin crews wear
Speaker 3: patches lanyards are decorated aprons with no touching as a
Speaker 3: plea on them, like they're.
Speaker 1: A comfort dog in training.
Speaker 3: Yeah. See, it's funny you well, you got to get
Speaker 3: there touch. I would never touch a flight I don't
Speaker 3: know that I have, but I might have.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I've never really thought about it, yank on their sleeve
Speaker 3: like a little kid.
Speaker 1: I don't drink, so I don't ever. No, I don't.
Speaker 1: I rarely like need anything beyond what they when they
Speaker 1: come by and offer you something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, says one head of rough flight.
Speaker 1: If you can run your hand up, like up and down.
Speaker 3: Their leg, that's okay. Yep. One head of a flight
Speaker 3: attendancy union says, you probably wouldn't go into a restaurant
Speaker 3: and poke your waitress. You wouldn't go into a coffee
Speaker 3: shop and grab the shirt if you're restuff and they
Speaker 3: go into the psychology. Why people think that's probably okay
Speaker 3: they're in close cors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because no, you wouldn't ever probably touch the waitress.
Speaker 3: Here's a caption of like an Instagram or a TikTok Oh,
Speaker 3: why did you do that? I hate you? All right,
Speaker 3: dang it. The flight attendant passed my seat with a
Speaker 3: drinks card and I thought she skipped our row. So
Speaker 3: I touched her arm gently and said, sorry, when you
Speaker 3: get a chance, can I trouble you? But she cut
Speaker 3: me off and said back to me loudly, do not
Speaker 3: touch the flight attendants. Everybody turned to look. I know
Speaker 3: she's right, and I shouldn't have tapped her, But now
Speaker 3: my entire week is ruined and I'm spiraling and I
Speaker 3: may never recover because interasctions like these haunt me for years.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I'm in a shame spiral.
Speaker 3: I woke up in a shame spiral. It'll be fine,
Speaker 3: that's funny. So don't poke the flight attendants.
Speaker 1: Well as they eliminate for the born more of that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff on a plane, that will be less.
Speaker 1: Need to ever poke them, because they're not going to
Speaker 1: give you anything.
Speaker 3: Right, right, Just just sit perfectly still, staring forward. You
Speaker 3: didn't pay extra for looking around, all right?
Speaker 1: That's right. They'll have a little thing that holds your headsports.
Speaker 1: You can't turn it if you want to look out
Speaker 1: the window. That's an extra eighteen dollars.
Speaker 3: Use me, I can't get the shade up. Yeah, there's
Speaker 3: a charge for that. It's an eighteen dollars charge to
Speaker 3: look out the window.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got the shade up, but I can't turn
Speaker 1: my head. Well that's a head turning fee and that's
Speaker 1: twenty four dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh you want to look around? Do you right?
Speaker 1: Your head's locked into this viic thing.
Speaker 3: Man, Judy and I are. We're doing our big anniversary
Speaker 3: cruise and it's a quote unquote international flight and it's
Speaker 3: like a crack it dawn flight. We got to get
Speaker 3: there in the middle of the night in theory to
Speaker 3: check our luggage and our passports and stuff, and then
Speaker 3: sit there in the airport.
Speaker 1: For three hours fun.
Speaker 3: It's ridunculous. I need to fly private. What does that cost? No?
Speaker 3: Never mind? You know Jack Cornshungan.
Speaker 5: Do get final.
Speaker 3: Oh it's haunting.
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 3: to wrap up the day and the show. And the
Speaker 3: weak theory is Michael Angelo and the controller impressing the buttons. Michael,
Speaker 3: which final thought? Yeah, to get the flight attendant attention.
Speaker 6: I have a small flashlight that's a strobe and I
Speaker 6: hold it up and you know during red eyes that
Speaker 6: you can really get their attention.
Speaker 3: You know. That's the other thing that the Antifa goons
Speaker 3: were doing to the cops. They're flashing strobes in their eyes.
Speaker 3: I'd beat them down for that. That's why I'm not
Speaker 3: a cop jack. Final thought.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to prepare myself mentally. Maybe I should talk
Speaker 1: to your son the actor, how you get in character,
Speaker 1: because we're going to record a One More Thing podcast
Speaker 1: that is going to be the most curse filled podcast
Speaker 1: we've ever done. If I can get in care, it's
Speaker 1: gonna have more bad language than any podcast we've ever done.
Speaker 3: By far, folks, I have no idea what he's talking
Speaker 3: about it. I too am shocked. My final thoughts beaking
Speaker 3: of my son. His sister is my daughter, and we're
Speaker 3: seeing her this weekend, partly because she needs I shouldn't
Speaker 3: say I shouldn't say this. She needs to learn how
Speaker 3: to play Majong very quickly for professional reasons.

Speaker 3: game of Chinese origin, extremely popular. It's like the hottest
Speaker 3: thing in America, right really, Yeah.
