Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arms Strong and Joe, Katty arm
Speaker 1: Strong and Jettie and he arms Strong and Yetty. It's
Speaker 1: essentially a buzzer that they're employing.
Speaker 2: This is especially important at American Airlines because it's the
Speaker 2: biggest airline in the US. They have nine different boarding groups,
Speaker 2: which makes it sort of especially confusing for folks. The
Speaker 2: problem is people who are jumping the line. It's known
Speaker 2: as date lice. That is the lies, and that is
Speaker 2: the term that the airline uses in some cases. It's
Speaker 2: primarily something that bloggers have come up with, people who
Speaker 2: hang around the front of the human eye. It is
Speaker 2: kind of yes, I don't want to be allows either.
Speaker 2: But the big thing here is that if you scan
Speaker 2: your boarding pass that American is trying this new technology on,
Speaker 2: it'll sound an alarm and make it so that you
Speaker 2: go to the back of the line and they can
Speaker 2: come back in when.
Speaker 1: Your group is called okay. So this is you're already
Speaker 1: through security, you're you're up there at your plane and
Speaker 1: they say it's time to board, but you're group three,
Speaker 1: and you try to get up there with group one,
Speaker 1: and they call you gate lice, and Jake Tapper ridiculously says,
Speaker 1: sort of dehumanizing whatever, Jake who worries about crap like that,
Speaker 1: Just whatever, Yeah, okay, I just call you jerks or
Speaker 1: a holes. It's the same thing. Get in when your
Speaker 1: group is. If you want a better group, buy your
Speaker 1: tickets earlier or pay more or whatever. The way it
Speaker 1: works on gate licets, I'm referred to them as airport apes.
Speaker 1: Who cares? It's it's bored annoyed employees who deal with
Speaker 1: the public all day long. Came up with a semi
Speaker 1: amusing nickname to help, you know, cut into the drudgery
Speaker 1: of their day a little bit. Jake, It'll be okay, right,
Speaker 1: you know, it's the people. There's you know, the the
Speaker 1: amount of jyvness in media has changed a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day you were utterly dignified
Speaker 1: and besuited and and and you know, obviously very clean
Speaker 1: language and stuff like that and like that. But it's besuited.
Speaker 1: It's fine. But like a Jake Tapper, what is it
Speaker 1: in him that makes him think, well, because of the
Speaker 1: nature of my job and the people looking in the
Speaker 1: dignity of the profession. I need to say, well, that's
Speaker 1: somewhat just do you humanizing? Who's worried about that? Seriously? Anyway,
Speaker 1: back to the lousy, lousy gait, who's worried about this
Speaker 1: is another question? With Thanksgiving coming up, That's why we're
Speaker 1: talking about all the travel. Hey, let me let me
Speaker 1: just make a say a word in support of the
Speaker 1: American airlines. We who are in group two don't wish
Speaker 1: to rub elbows with you Group three paupers, all right,
Speaker 1: know your place Group three, four and five? All right En,
Speaker 1: I've said, oh boy, comfort plus doesn't refer to plus.
Speaker 1: You stay back in your group analysts. So I'm flying
Speaker 1: on Tuesday now, Look Ford, But the point is we're
Speaker 1: going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and gonna have turkey.
Speaker 1: Well maybe you think that is a horror or not?
Speaker 1: Guess essay. Opinion piece in the New York Times today,
Speaker 1: What a lame duck president could do for lame turkeys?
Speaker 1: Good start. We've wondered about the presidential partning of the
Speaker 1: turkey for years. Boy, how's Biden gonna pull that off?
Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, he writes someone at the National Turkey
Speaker 1: Federation once had an idea, let's send a live turkey
Speaker 1: to Harry Truman for a presidential holiday feast. They thought,
Speaker 1: we'll promote the turkey. Yeah, but was he stunt We'll
Speaker 1: send a live turkey to President Truman. Previously, some individual
Speaker 1: turkey producers had sent their products to the president to
Speaker 1: promote them, but the greater resources at the National Turkey
Speaker 1: Federation that the story could be promoted more effectively. The
Speaker 1: turkey that was sent to President Truman was killed and eaten.
Speaker 1: I did go, Harry, give him hell, Harry, huh make
Speaker 1: America great again? Back when presidents would get a life
Speaker 1: turkey and just say cool and kill it, need it barbaric?
Speaker 1: And then turkeys were subsequently sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Speaker 1: who also killed an h them. But in nineteen sixty three,
Speaker 1: in one of his last official acts before his assassination,
Speaker 1: all right, god, it would have been days before he
Speaker 1: got his head blown apart. Right o November sixteenth, President
Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy, when face to face with his live turkey,
Speaker 1: disregarded the sign hung around the bird's neck that read
Speaker 1: good eating, mister President. How different is the country now
Speaker 1: than then? That they would send a live turkey that
Speaker 1: was gonna get killed and eating, and they put signer
Speaker 1: on his neck, you know, happy eating. There were more
Speaker 1: realistic people, Yes, we were. Now you have essays in
Speaker 1: the New York Times decrying the horror that people eat
Speaker 1: turkeys at all. Anyway, John F. Kennedy, and face to
Speaker 1: face with the live turkey, disregarded the sign hung around
Speaker 1: his neck and said let's keep him going. Kennedy didn't
Speaker 1: say anything about pardoning the turkey. If you excuse me,
Speaker 1: I am gonna go stuff and intent right. He didn't
Speaker 1: say anything about partning the turkey, but the media referred
Speaker 1: to his act as a pardon or reprieve. President George H. W.
Speaker 1: Bush was the first to pretend that a turkey was
Speaker 1: receiving an official part and we've been doing it for
Speaker 1: the last forty years where the president comes out and
Speaker 1: bestows it really is pretty gruesome if you think about it,
Speaker 1: cause it's I don't mean gruesome from a turkey standpoint,
Speaker 1: but just the idea of a pardon of something being
Speaker 1: put to death. There are people on death throw. There
Speaker 1: is a big one this week where they appeal to
Speaker 1: governors or the president to try not to be executed
Speaker 1: as a human being, and the governor president makes a
Speaker 1: decision whether or not to do that to kind of enjoy.
Speaker 1: They don't get the partner right to kind of joke
Speaker 1: about that activity. I officially pardon you, turkey, not that
Speaker 1: other guy earlier in the week, which they probably didn't
Speaker 1: deserve a pardon. But you're not wrong. But to me,
Speaker 1: the pardoning the turkey shows weakness. This is why Putin
Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine, because we're not even tough enough to execute
Speaker 1: our guilty turkeys guilty of delicious I agree. This is
Speaker 1: where the essay in the New York Times turns really stupid.
Speaker 1: We pardon people for crimes they have committed. Modern law
Speaker 1: has long abandoned the view that animals can commit crimes.
Speaker 1: That makes it impossible to take seriously the idea that
Speaker 1: turkeys need to be pardoned no matter what they have done.
Speaker 1: But the annual is it just me? Or are you
Speaker 1: waiting for a punchline too? This can't possibly be serious
Speaker 1: to me. I'm waiting for it, ah. But the annual
Speaker 1: president pardon is doubly absurd because no one has ever
Speaker 1: claimed the turkeys said to the president have done anything wrong,
Speaker 1: not even in the sense that your cat does something
Speaker 1: wrong when she punishes you for going on vacation by
Speaker 1: using your bed as her litter box. Now, this is
Speaker 1: very dry humor, very very dry. How to avoid dry
Speaker 1: turkey breasts at the table coming up next, stay with us,
Speaker 1: And then it goes into how about these turkey producers
Speaker 1: have received millions of dollars as a subsidy for something
Speaker 1: or other after sending the turkeys to It's just it's
Speaker 1: all convoluted. I guess I'm supposed to be upset about
Speaker 1: this in some way. Oh boy, let me pencil that
Speaker 1: in in my list of things to be worried about.
Speaker 1: Right after I don't even know. And then it gets
Speaker 1: into the good reasons some people choose not to eat turkeys,
Speaker 1: turkeys eaten by Americans today or nothing like wild turkeys
Speaker 1: eaten by the early European settlers, and how turkeys are
Speaker 1: not treated well, and there are other things you could eat.
Speaker 1: Remember our old newsman Marshall used to go to a
Speaker 1: tofur tofu turkey thing that some toe tofurky, that's some
Speaker 1: vegetarian friend of his put together. I don't doubt that
Speaker 1: the turkeys are not treated in the best way. It
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. Okay, I've penciled in concern about this
Speaker 1: right below. The laces in my golf shoes get dirty
Speaker 1: and I have to take them out to launder them. Well,
Speaker 1: i'll read you the last paragraph of this serious thing.
Speaker 1: If we insist on sticking with the idea of pardoning
Speaker 1: someone for Thanksgiving, it's the heads of the giant corporations
Speaker 1: profiting from the industrial production of turkeys who are in
Speaker 1: need of a pardon. But to deserve it, they would
Speaker 1: first have to show remorse for what they have done. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you're fun at a party. How hilarious is that they're
Speaker 1: bothered by the pardoning of the turkey fun at a gathering?
Speaker 1: This piece, it's actually a decent piece about how more
Speaker 1: and more people seem to be a semi sober. They're
Speaker 1: like drinking more mindfully or less frequently. As the medical
Speaker 1: establishment has said, you know, even one glass of wine.
Speaker 1: It's not good for you. Alcohol is just not good
Speaker 1: for you. And people are being more mindful. And this
Speaker 1: woman is talking about, you know, I've actually enjoyed it
Speaker 1: more and blah blah blah, And I was thinking of
Speaker 1: the person who's just a drag at a party, like,
Speaker 1: if that guy shows up, I'm leaving. Sorry, Grandma, I
Speaker 1: know you've only got a week to live, but I'm
Speaker 1: not hanging out with that idiot. Sorry. Wow, If you're
Speaker 1: an introvert, a little nip or two, that's how I
Speaker 1: get through it. So is the Is it like sweeping
Speaker 1: the nation that's being concerned about drinking or is it
Speaker 1: just a no. I think it's absolutely on the increase.
Speaker 1: Young people are drinking less than all the generations before them,
Speaker 1: partly because they're giving themselves psychoist with the not universally.
Speaker 1: But I think attitudes on alcohol are evolving, no doubt. Interesting. Well,
Speaker 1: it is after what a couple decades, certainly a decade
Speaker 1: of being told, oh wow, by if you aren't drinking
Speaker 1: red wine, you're being awful to your children because it's
Speaker 1: gonna make your heart so much healthier than they decided.
Speaker 1: What a couple of years ago, we were wrong about
Speaker 1: all that. Sorry, sorry, we's not gonna not gonna hurt
Speaker 1: you the red wine, but any alcohol is bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was yet another reason why I ignore most studies
Speaker 1: about any sort of hell thing anything. They changed their
Speaker 1: mind so many times in my life how do you
Speaker 1: not roll your eyes at any study about this food
Speaker 1: or diet or drink or whatever based on wait and see,
Speaker 1: wait a long time and see. Speaking of which fruit
Speaker 1: loops are going to be the center of the great
Speaker 1: controversy of next year, A humble fruit loop, No damn
Speaker 1: fruit anywhere near him? By the way, RFK Junior is
Speaker 1: really hammering on processed foods and artificial dies and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Got some details on that, plus the
Speaker 1: armstrung you getty Court of Justice. We'll swing into action
Speaker 1: and rejudge. Juicy smolet hey Anson. CBS has an interview
Speaker 1: with the first transgender congresswoman. Uh be kind of interested
Speaker 1: to hear what she's talking about. If they get into
Speaker 1: that whole bathroom. Her fluffel that you can't become a
Speaker 1: woman by taking hormones and getting surgeries. That's a medical impossibility. Well,
Speaker 1: she's got long hair and female clothes on. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at her up there. I've not personally looked under her skirt. Again,
Speaker 1: you can do anything you want under the skirt. It
Speaker 1: does not change the sex of the person involved. How
Speaker 1: recently did she transition? Do we know this?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, she didn't like run as a dude and is
Speaker 1: now a chick or anything like that? Right, isn't that reason? Well? No,
Speaker 1: if she was having dude, she's not a chick. Now,
Speaker 1: I think you're missing the point. I think I can
Speaker 1: get your point to. Yes, we got more in the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here.
Speaker 4: McDonald's has announced that it will offer half gallon jugs
Speaker 4: if it's McRib sauce for twenty dollars. It's a handy
Speaker 4: option for parties, barbecues and of.
Speaker 1: Course dares, no kidding, no kidding. Wait, Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 1: That is a good one. My son and his friends,
Speaker 1: my high schooler and his friends are super into the
Speaker 1: dares of eating and drinking various things. It's a right
Speaker 1: of passing. And my son especially and my son, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, is dedicated daw never turning down a deer.
Speaker 1: It's just way he's built. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: heard when we had Josh Rogan to the Washington Post
Speaker 1: on what like the day of the election or day
Speaker 1: before the presidential election. Anyway, he declared that the Chinese
Speaker 1: hat of all our cell phone companies and everything was
Speaker 1: a bigger story than the election, which is a heck
Speaker 1: of a thing to say. Mm hmm. It's the biggest
Speaker 1: hack in US history, maybe world history, and nobody talks
Speaker 1: about it. And nobody talks about it nobody. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard one person in my real life bring this up right.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it on I don't even think I've
Speaker 1: even heard about it on any other show. Wow, is
Speaker 1: that something? Well? The New York Time are so under
Speaker 1: attack currently by the Chinese Communist Party, and there's an
Speaker 1: article about it in The New York Times today, Buried
Speaker 1: beneath you know, a whole bunch of Trump stories about
Speaker 1: things and personalities whatever that everybody's obsessed with and cries
Speaker 1: for Turkey justice. As discussed in the previous segment, this
Speaker 1: is a David Sanger article. He pays attention to the
Speaker 1: important stuff on the New York Times. Thank god somebody does.
Speaker 1: But yesterday Senator Mark Warner, who is the Democratic chairman
Speaker 1: of the Intelligence Committee, said this is significantly worse than
Speaker 1: we even thought. So it's significantly worse than it was
Speaker 1: back when Josh Rogan told us it's a bigger story
Speaker 1: than the election. Wow, is what he said yesterday. The
Speaker 1: barn door is still wide open for China to do
Speaker 1: whatever they want inside of all of our telecommunications, including
Speaker 1: specifically listening to any phone call or reading any text
Speaker 1: that they want to. It's been going on for at
Speaker 1: least a year, we don't know how long. And it's
Speaker 1: still going on today. Isn't that amazing? It's mind boggling,
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, we are walking the streets of
Speaker 1: Rome saying, oh, look, barbarians. Anyway, shall we go to
Speaker 1: the vomitorium?
Speaker 5: Eh?
Speaker 1: And we're just utterly unaware that we are being invaded
Speaker 1: and they are fighting us. We're just not fighting them
Speaker 1: because we're too content. And China had access to absolutely
Speaker 1: listening to the phone calls or reading the texts of
Speaker 1: any American who's got you know, any of the big
Speaker 1: cell phone companies, which is practically every adult, including President
Speaker 1: elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President elect JD. Vance, and
Speaker 1: anybody else you can think of. So it's impossible that
Speaker 1: they didn't gain important intelligence from listening to Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: private phone calls throughout the entire election. Are you kidding me? Wow? Wow?
Speaker 1: And it turns out they exploited aging equipment and seams
Speaker 1: in the networks connecting disparate systems. I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about that since the hack was exposed. The Chinese intruders
Speaker 1: have seemingly disappeared, suspending their intrusion, so that their activity
Speaker 1: is harder to figure out. But they do not conclude
Speaker 1: that they have been ousted for the telecommunication system. They
Speaker 1: still have the ability to do it. They've just like
Speaker 1: backed off, They've scurried off, so it's harder to figure
Speaker 1: out how they're in there, how to get them out.
Speaker 1: But it looks like they China could jump back in
Speaker 1: any time they want to and listen to your phone
Speaker 1: calls or read your texts. Wow, isn't that InCrest Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah it is. I mean they mean and if you
Speaker 1: let your mind run wild for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: As to the sort of thing they're listening to, they're
Speaker 1: absolutely given their interest in taking out our infrastructure when
Speaker 1: and if the pooh hits the fan. They are absolutely
Speaker 1: listening to technical discussions between the people who run the
Speaker 1: power crop. Oh, absolutely no doubt about that. Or as
Speaker 1: basic as they've heard Trump's private phone conversations where Trump
Speaker 1: says we ain't gonna defend Taiwan, There's no way the
Speaker 1: American people would put up with that. It's quite possible
Speaker 1: they heard that on a phone call him discussing it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they have intel like nobody's ever had intel. They know
Speaker 1: exactly who Matt Gates has been boinking and what their
Speaker 1: age is for instance. Probably how do we not pay
Speaker 1: more attention to this? I guess just because we're all
Speaker 1: wealthy by modeling on world standards, fat and comfortable. Speaking
Speaker 1: for myself, the Armstrong and getting caught of justice will
Speaker 1: retry Juicy Smoley next Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: So the court's decision, it's important to remember, had nothing
Speaker 6: to do with Smolette's actual guilt or innocence, but had
Speaker 6: everything to do with Smolette's constitutional rights being violated when,
Speaker 6: in the court's opinion, he was prosecuted a second time
Speaker 6: after a valid plea agreement. It was almost six years
Speaker 6: ago when Smolette called police claiming he was a victim
Speaker 6: of a racist and homophobic attack.
Speaker 1: So is it just the double jeopardy thing we learn
Speaker 1: about in grade school? Or yeah, yeah, single plea agreement?
Speaker 1: Then they changed their mind. Essentially, there's no no judgment
Speaker 1: whatsoever on the guilt or innocence, the verdict itself, just
Speaker 1: the trial taking place at all. So he's out. This
Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette, who as an actor, hired a couple of
Speaker 1: guys to pretend to attack him. And I'd either forgotten
Speaker 1: or didn't know that was all part of his contract
Speaker 1: and go he thought he was gonna get more money.
Speaker 1: They offered him less money for that TV show he
Speaker 1: was on, and he thought he would get more money
Speaker 1: if he had been the victim of a crime. That's
Speaker 1: it makes an extra dumb. So your your your plan
Speaker 1: was dumb, and then you're gonna that's how your nati
Speaker 1: evil dumb and evil true because it does add to
Speaker 1: the idea of a race war or that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: racial tension in the United States, right, And he was
Speaker 1: more than willing to pitch racial hatred to make himself
Speaker 1: more money and and to portray white people in the
Speaker 1: way he did. And and he just continued to elevate
Speaker 1: the idea of victimhood is the greatest status in American life.
Speaker 1: It's just awful, right, So, yeah, it's bad for racial
Speaker 1: relations and also portraying once again that Trump supporters are
Speaker 1: obviously racists, violent racists, as we all know. So after
Speaker 1: he was attacked and called the police and a lot
Speaker 1: of people were super skeptical, right, off the bat, but
Speaker 1: not your mainstream media, and not Kamala Harris, not a
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities who believed his story immediately. Here's him
Speaker 1: on I think Good Morning America, explaining a little bit
Speaker 1: about the attack in the aftermath. Why did you hesitate
Speaker 1: to want to call the police?
Speaker 7: You know, there's a level of pride there. We live
Speaker 7: in a society where as a gay man, you were
Speaker 7: considered somehow to be weak and I'm not weak. I'm
Speaker 7: not weak. It feels like if I had said it
Speaker 7: was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I
Speaker 7: feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot
Speaker 7: much more, a lot more. And that says a lot
Speaker 7: about the place that we are in our country right now.
Speaker 1: Man, you are a freaking scumbag. Yes to go on
Speaker 1: television and talk about the state this country is in
Speaker 1: because of the way I was attacked and oh my god,
Speaker 1: because I'm gay. At anybody who doubts your ridiculous, laughable story,
Speaker 1: it's just because they're such racists that they would believe
Speaker 1: me if I'd set a Mexican or a Muslim attack me.
Speaker 1: You're a scum bag. I hate And when I'd forgotten it.
Speaker 1: He also cast himself as a victim because he's gay, right,
Speaker 1: He couldn't come forward because he knows how gay men
Speaker 1: are treated in the United States. God, you are the
Speaker 1: worst kind of person. The only thing that's comforting since
Speaker 1: he got out is that his careers over. I think
Speaker 1: he's been out for a while, hasn't he. I mean,
Speaker 1: he didn't get sentenced too much time. But his career's over.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Still he should be in He should be
Speaker 1: in some sort of jail. That is horrible. It's absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1: And you know, even when people found out the truth,
Speaker 1: that leaves the you know, there's the echo in people's
Speaker 1: brains of confirmation for a certain crowd of the whole
Speaker 1: Trump voter racial relations thing, even though it wasn't true. Anyway,
Speaker 1: here's another throwback. After we all found out what was happening,
Speaker 1: he hired these bodybuilders to attack him and yell, you know,
Speaker 1: this is Trump country, and they threw bleach on him
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Here's them on the very street
Speaker 1: corner where they attacked him, explaining the attack.
Speaker 5: This is where we waited for Jesse to come. So
Speaker 5: I saw him out the corner of my eye and
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, that's him, let's go.
Speaker 5: He turned around, looked at us, and that's when we
Speaker 5: started yelling the famous slurs he wanted us to yell.
Speaker 1: I threw the first punchadow.
Speaker 5: I held the blow because I didn't want to hurt him,
Speaker 5: of course, and then.
Speaker 1: I threw him to the ground. It to look like
Speaker 1: he fought back.
Speaker 5: That was very important for him.
Speaker 1: Wow, you looked though you are an idiot. You're an
Speaker 1: absolute idiot. I held back because I didn't hurt him.
Speaker 1: If you've never seen these guys, they're super jacked, bodybuilder dudes. Anyways,
Speaker 1: they'd knock you in the next week. Oh my, crush
Speaker 1: your face he wanted to look like. And then I
Speaker 1: remember the throwing the bleach on him. I think this
Speaker 1: is from now them explaining what they think of the
Speaker 1: whole deal. And the bleach is some sort of implied
Speaker 1: what we're going to make you white? Or just bleach?
Speaker 1: Is that just a caustic chemical? I guess I don't know.
Speaker 1: I remember back in my racist days, well, I would
Speaker 1: walk the streets of Chicago all the time a gallon
Speaker 1: of bleach in my left hand. And you're missing right,
Speaker 1: and my maga hat, just waiting and this was the seventies,
Speaker 1: just waiting for some port unfortunate, wealthy black gay man
Speaker 1: from the TV to come walking down the street, because
Speaker 1: by god, if one did, we were ready for them.
Speaker 1: Not on my watch, you would say, she man. So
Speaker 1: here's the Bodybuilders explaining more of the plot. I guess he.
Speaker 3: Made it seem like this is what Hollywood does. He
Speaker 3: mentioned Kim Kardashian during that time, she had a incident
Speaker 3: where she got robbed and kidnapped in France, and he
Speaker 3: said that was made up, that was fake. So that's
Speaker 3: what I was thinking, like, Oh, this is what Hollywood does.
Speaker 3: My brother and our professional actors, and we thought, oh,
Speaker 3: this is our introduction into Hollywood.
Speaker 8: And actually we go further in our book that we
Speaker 8: just released Bigger Than Jesse. The reason why Jesse might
Speaker 8: have actually performed this, hopes and who.
Speaker 3: That's a very important question that leads us to the
Speaker 3: why who is it?
Speaker 1: Oh it's funny. I'm reading one hundred Years of Solitude.
Speaker 1: I was hoping to finish it during the Thanksgiving break,
Speaker 1: but I better put that aside and read the new
Speaker 1: book from these Bodybuilders, Bigger than Jesse Yeth Michael, Honey,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, I want this book. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: want it in hardcover for future generations. You know what
Speaker 1: I love about one hundred bucks? They'd come read it
Speaker 1: to you your home. Oh god, no kidding, one hundred
Speaker 1: between them. You know what I love about those two
Speaker 1: guys is though they were involved in that ridiculous escapade,
Speaker 1: they seem really self aware. Oh yeah, yeah, because they're giggling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we thought this was our you know, our inroad. In fact,
Speaker 1: why were we dumb? They have a book? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. Ah how many? I mean? I suppose you know,
Speaker 1: we can't condemn Juicy for being a rotten human as
Speaker 1: we were and not include these guys in some way.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. For some reason, I just I
Speaker 1: feel like that they're not a premeditated perpetrator of evil dishonesty.
Speaker 1: They're more like, you'll give us five hundred bucks to
Speaker 1: do what? And they thought not a famous guy? Whatever?
Speaker 1: Money's money. I don't know. I just I can't judge
Speaker 1: these guys in the same way. You want me to
Speaker 1: punch you in the head and poor believe you on
Speaker 1: you do you want me to say what this is
Speaker 1: Magga Country in Chicago. I don't we have another funny clip? Here,
Speaker 1: another funny clip. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 8: We have not spoken to him since. Yes, he did
Speaker 8: pay us at first. He still owes us five hundred dollars.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, but I.
Speaker 1: Don't think we're ever going to see that.
Speaker 2: It wasn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it wasn't about the money. It was not
Speaker 3: about the money at all. It was more so us
Speaker 3: helping out a friend.
Speaker 1: See he didn't even pay him. God, what what a
Speaker 1: piece of work. Wow, helping out a friend Jack that
Speaker 1: can know what they say? A friend with bleach is
Speaker 1: a friend in reach. That Kim Kardashian thing, I'd forgotten
Speaker 1: about that, but that turned out to be real, didn't
Speaker 1: it horrifying? She actually got kidnapped because she had all
Speaker 1: those She had so much jewelry with her and everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Jesse believed that was phony. It was just a
Speaker 1: publicity thing. I suppose it could have been. Kim Kardashian's
Speaker 1: pretty good at that. I have to google that if
Speaker 1: I remember right. That was an actual thing. But uh,
Speaker 1: oh wow, you go ahead. I'll be looking into tariff
Speaker 1: policy and their implications. I'll be reading bigger than Jesse.
Speaker 1: Maybe I can get it an audiobook. Well, that's hell
Speaker 1: of an enjoyable read. That'd be a fun travel read. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how many pages is it? Four?
Speaker 1: I think phil pages would cover it. I was just
Speaker 1: gonna say, please, don't try to stretch into like three
Speaker 1: hundred page just know what you are, No, stay in
Speaker 1: your lane, unpronounceable brothers. And then second grade I got
Speaker 1: a new pencil sharpener. I don't know what they would
Speaker 1: fill it in with, but yeah, oh please don't do
Speaker 1: the background st right, that's what you do to fill
Speaker 1: in I've read some of those ridiculous books like that
Speaker 1: just for the show, like we're gonna have guests on,
Speaker 1: they fill in with all kinds of meaningless background crap.
Speaker 1: And then I was in Little League. I enjoyed the games,
Speaker 1: but even more so the friendships. Okay, all right, although
Speaker 1: I tell you what these guys I mean. They are
Speaker 1: an interesting story about people coming to the United States
Speaker 1: and making a life. Now, granted, this was a bit
Speaker 1: of an hot cul de sac they went down, but
Speaker 1: you know they're immigrants from Nigeria, right, and they're they're
Speaker 1: bodybuilders and fitness trainers, and obviously they speak beautiful English,
Speaker 1: although there's a lot of English book in Nigeria, come
Speaker 1: to think of it. But I don't know. I always
Speaker 1: enjoy the immigrant stories. And then you know it's not
Speaker 1: just in. Then we open the dry cleaners and business
Speaker 1: has been pretty good now and the juicy smole this
Speaker 1: ridiculous plot. Maybe maybe you could include some foreshadowing. I
Speaker 1: was in the Little League and I knocked this kid
Speaker 1: down and said, you're in Clinton country, and I kicked
Speaker 1: him in the testicles, and I knew that somehow in
Speaker 1: the future. Well, okay, let's put that in the rough
Speaker 1: draft and we can talk about it. I feel like
Speaker 1: we ought to tell you the whole Pete Hegseeth story,
Speaker 1: his version of it, and that's gonna be big. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. Now that Matt Gates is gone. If the
Speaker 1: the attention has gone to Hexath potential Secretary of Defense,
Speaker 1: not a good night for him and that woman. Uh either,
Speaker 1: either version of the story is is not not the
Speaker 1: best look if you haven't heard it. So we'll get
Speaker 1: to that on the way and a bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 4: Has it in By hosted the Boston Celtics today at
Speaker 4: the White House, Biden said it reminded him of his
Speaker 4: younger days when he met with the actual Celtics. I
Speaker 4: had a lot of riddles. I was trying to trick you.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I get that joke. I don't get
Speaker 4: the reference like Celtics. Is it Celtics, it's a it's
Speaker 4: a culture, not a costume.
Speaker 1: By the way, it was going to be more of
Speaker 1: a Where's John Halachek sort of thing? But yeah, a
Speaker 1: mystifying joke, too sophisticated for us. Obviously, speaking of Ireland,
Speaker 1: one of a couple of stories about fascinating the fascinating foreigners.
Speaker 1: Ireland is rolling in dough right now. As a country.
Speaker 1: They can't they can't spend all the money they have
Speaker 1: in their budget. We'll explain why. Plus I, Joe Getty,
Speaker 1: cold warrior, anti communist crusader, am here to tell you
Speaker 1: Shjin Ping is one hundred percent right about one to man.
Speaker 1: Is he got it right? Stay with us for next hour.
Speaker 1: If you don't get Next Hour, grab it via podcast
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand, or better get subscribed or
Speaker 1: follow depending on the terminology your favorite download uth on
Speaker 1: the source uses. In hour three, we'll also run through
Speaker 1: the scandal that might derail Pete Heggzeth becoming Secretary Defense.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will or not, but it's
Speaker 1: certainly gonna be a big topic of conversation, and you
Speaker 1: should know what the facts are around that. I would
Speaker 1: say so, yeah, absolutely, because you cannot trust the mainstream
Speaker 1: media as usual. So a couple of life hacks, if
Speaker 1: you will. This first one is self evident to Jack
Speaker 1: just mentioning how cynically is about various medical announcements on this,
Speaker 1: that or the other. But this one is just undeniable.
Speaker 1: The best return on any investment since bitcoin when it
Speaker 1: was ten dollars is just walking a half hour a day,
Speaker 1: an hour if you can manage it, they say, he
Speaker 1: could easily yield up to six hours of six years
Speaker 1: rather of life six hours. I'm gonna walk in to
Speaker 1: get an extra six hours, so I'll die at a
Speaker 1: five pm instead eleven the morning. Do you think you
Speaker 1: can hold on to dinner? Honey? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: All that walk and has done me a lot of good.
Speaker 1: If every American over the age of forty was as
Speaker 1: physically active as the most active quarter of the population, again,
Speaker 1: that's not that active, they could expect to live an
Speaker 1: extra five years to eleven years depending, but just take
Speaker 1: a walk. My mom and dad and this this instilled
Speaker 1: it in me. My mom and dad have been committed
Speaker 1: to walking since jeez, I don't know, early eighties. They
Speaker 1: did that every night after dinner, no matter the weather,
Speaker 1: they went to for a long, long walk, and it
Speaker 1: was just something they would not skip. And I think
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons they're both in significantly better
Speaker 1: shape than Joe Biden. Yeah, and again this is six
Speaker 1: six hours or six days. Rather, there's a misprint in
Speaker 1: this article and was stuck in my head. But years
Speaker 1: of life is amazing and uh and those who walk
Speaker 1: even more have even better uh you know, reards. But anyway,
Speaker 1: you know, it's I'm revided the young, the young and
Speaker 1: the strong. They like to mock the old and weak,
Speaker 1: and that's why we must be clever and cheat them
Speaker 1: out of their money or get our vengeance however we can.
Speaker 1: But the making fun of mall walkers very very right
Speaker 1: there at one point. Now it's it's people are smart
Speaker 1: and keeping their bodies active and getting more out of life.
Speaker 1: So good for y'all. You are almost every night yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. I listen to news while I'm doing it
Speaker 1: or whatever. Oh yeah, I try to get exercise, break
Speaker 1: a sweat every single day. I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: My old dog, my old cancery dog, packsy uh, he's
Speaker 1: getting slower and slower. So Judy and I have conceded
Speaker 1: walking the dog is kind of a trudge for us.
Speaker 1: It's a shuffle for us, so that no longer counts
Speaker 1: as exercise. But anyway, it's the eCos circle of life.
Speaker 1: Do you do You're exercising an indoor, on a machine
Speaker 1: or outdoor, all of the above. I just machines don't
Speaker 1: do it for me. I'd rather walk in the rain
Speaker 1: in the cold for half an hour than do on
Speaker 1: a machine. I just don't. I don't know whatever. I
Speaker 1: just won't get on a machine. I've gotten in grooves
Speaker 1: where I watch news on the elliptical or whatever. I
Speaker 1: got my earbuds. It makes sense. I kill a couple
Speaker 1: of birds with one stone because I hate birds. I
Speaker 1: get murder enough birds, and I love rocks, so I
Speaker 1: hate to waste them on multiple birds. But yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: much rather walk outside than on a treadmill anyway. So
Speaker 1: that was a physical hack This is an emotional psychological hack.
Speaker 1: This is a study from the University of Illinois where
Speaker 1: I attained my degree to the surprise of my parents
Speaker 1: and mentors. One of the most positive beneficial things you
Speaker 1: can say in any family setting is any expression of
Speaker 1: appreciation for the good things we do for each other
Speaker 1: is incredibly valuable. And where it is lacking, you've got
Speaker 1: a serious problem, interesting relationship. And you know, you could
Speaker 1: get into the statistics, but it's because it to include
Speaker 1: like a card or a fruit bouquet, or a long,
Speaker 1: flowery speech, or just a simple thank you. Just wow,
Speaker 1: this meal is delicious. Thanks for taking the time. That's
Speaker 1: a good That's it. That's a good example right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and and again take a look at yourself and
Speaker 1: your relationships. And again, if that ain't happening, you got
Speaker 1: more going on than maybe just a lack of manners.
Speaker 1: Good because it's more than manners. So anyway, think about
Speaker 1: this as we give thanks for you know, various stuff
Speaker 1: what we do for each other. Anyway, there you go.
Speaker 1: We tease a whole bunch of good stuff that we
Speaker 1: will have in hours three and four. If you missed
Speaker 1: our get the podcast Armstrong and Getting on demand. You
Speaker 1: know has Chesion Pingius committing genocide, but that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: he's wrong about everything. Stay with us. Wow, that is
Speaker 1: quite the tease. Wow, do this for a living Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty
