Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 4: As you remember, I donated the flagpoles, one on each side.
Speaker 5: Christ Is the White House didn't really.
Speaker 4: Have an appropriate American flag and had a small one
Speaker 4: on top. We left that, but it didn't have an
Speaker 4: appropriate American flag.
Speaker 5: And this is a great pole. This is the top
Speaker 5: of the line. It's tapered.
Speaker 4: This isn't a straight up and down job, which looks terrible. Frankly,
Speaker 4: that's a tapered pole.
Speaker 6: Great.
Speaker 3: I'm very good at flagpoles.
Speaker 5: That's one of the best linkss Evercent I'm starting to
Speaker 5: think that's a running joke. And I just got it
Speaker 5: that he's been doing that his whole life. I hope
Speaker 5: that's what it is. That he's just.
Speaker 3: Got my what the hell look on my he he's
Speaker 3: been doing that his whole life.
Speaker 5: Audio Now does this staple? I fixed the stapler. I'm
Speaker 5: very good with staplers. I'm the best at staplers. I
Speaker 5: wonder if that's a running joke he's been doing people,
Speaker 5: because that's just hilarious. It's a tapered flagpole, not the
Speaker 5: straight ones that look terrible. I'm very good at flagpoles,
Speaker 5: all of them. There you go.
Speaker 3: Okay, well played.
Speaker 5: More more importantly, Trump Big Truth social announcement, we haven't
Speaker 5: even touched on today his Economic d Day post that
Speaker 5: we should talk about a little bit later, that he
Speaker 5: announced Economic d Day in all caps.
Speaker 3: For a run right, all right? Ah, So if you're
Speaker 3: just tuning in, you need to grab the podcast from
Speaker 3: last hour Armstrong and Giddyon demand. We've been talking about
Speaker 3: the fact that Mississippians several other southern states have utterly
Speaker 3: turned around their educational systems. The kids are achieving at
Speaker 3: unbelievable levels, both the all of the smartest kids, the
Speaker 3: middle kids, and the kids who are struggling the most
Speaker 3: every race. They have reinvented their educational systems and are
Speaker 3: now whooping the asses of California in particular and blue
Speaker 3: states because they've returned to basics. And again, it's self evident,
Speaker 3: it's obvious. A lot of us have been suggesting this
Speaker 3: for a long time, but it's now actually being proved.
Speaker 3: So why isn't that happening? Why aren't all the states
Speaker 3: embracing this because it clearly works. In a related story,
Speaker 3: Target is out this back to school season. Randy Winingarten
Speaker 3: declared on Facebook this week urging teachers to spend their
Speaker 3: school supply dollars elsewhere. In February, the American Federation and
Speaker 3: Teachers that it wanted Minneapolis based Target to take a
Speaker 3: public stand against immigration and Customs enforcement.
Speaker 5: Operations in Minnesota. I just bought all my kids school
Speaker 5: supplies like three days ago at Target, and they have
Speaker 5: a giant Baptist section. A lot of it's sold out
Speaker 5: because so many be chopped there. And the person in
Speaker 5: charge of the teacher's whole thing in the whole country says,
Speaker 5: don't buy a Target because of ice.
Speaker 3: Wow, what does that have to do with educating kids? Well,
Speaker 3: the union adopted a formal resolution or resolution, directing it's
Speaker 3: one point eight million members to shop elsewhere and starts
Speaker 3: it's and its stating it's plan to expand the boycott
Speaker 3: to parents, communities, and AFLCIO is roughly fifteen million members.
Speaker 3: One problem with the strategy the teacher's retirement fund owns
Speaker 3: millions of shares of Target and billions of dollars more
Speaker 3: in index funds. So good move. But the teachers' unions
Speaker 3: are about politics and money, folks, politics and money. They'd
Speaker 3: prefer that there weren't any kids at schools at all.
Speaker 3: They are evil, evil, evil.
Speaker 5: She is at the top of my list of how
Speaker 5: do you look at yourself in the mirror? She has
Speaker 5: no soul or something?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well she's agreed ahead in a.
Speaker 5: Mobsit it's I understand screwing taxpayers for your own benefit
Speaker 5: and all kinds of different things that people do. I
Speaker 5: understand how you get there, how you screw little kids
Speaker 5: who want to learn to read and sleep at night.
Speaker 5: I don't get.
Speaker 3: We're quoting an absolutely fabulous article with a bunch of
Speaker 3: statistical information, studies and experts by Kelsey Piper entitled illiteracy
Speaker 3: is a policy choice, and.
Speaker 5: She is obviously it is. What do you think this
Speaker 5: new breed of children were born with some inability to
Speaker 5: learn to read, unlike all other human beings in history?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she makes the point that where is it?
Speaker 3: It's it's she puts it. So, well, oh then I
Speaker 3: lost it, I had it, then I lost it again. Well,
Speaker 3: she she points out what is obvious to a lot
Speaker 3: of us. Oh, here it is to fail. Here is
Speaker 3: to lastingly abandon a significant fraction of our children to
Speaker 3: a lifelong struggle. And blue states have been failing. We've
Speaker 3: been spending lots of money on schools, but we've not
Speaker 3: been willing to muster the political will and effort necessary
Speaker 3: to hold those schools accountable and do and to teach.
Speaker 3: You adopt teaching practices that actually work, even though they
Speaker 3: are now known. So we went through the three pillars
Speaker 3: of turning it around, and how wonderfully it works universally.
Speaker 3: So why aren't we doing this? She says, good deal
Speaker 3: has been written on the so called Mississippi Miracle and
Speaker 3: some of the rising scores in other Southern states, but
Speaker 3: there hasn't been the sort of saturation cover that was
Speaker 3: lavished on past pushes for education reform, which helped turn
Speaker 3: them into national cause celebs. There's no profile, and there's
Speaker 3: no high profile philanthropic movement to spread these reforms or
Speaker 3: politicians with national ambitions who've made this their pet project.
Speaker 3: He's kind of amazed by that, and she asks a
Speaker 3: lot of quest She lives in the Oakland area, Oakland, California.
Speaker 3: She says, anecdotally, anecdotally, most parents I speak to have
Speaker 3: not heard of the Mississippi miracle at all, or if
Speaker 3: they've heard of Mississippi's success, it's as a one off
Speaker 3: rather than the spearhead of a trend. Why not, this
Speaker 3: is just a politically awkward story. Education policy expert Andy
Speaker 3: Rotherham told me it's all those Red states. This is
Speaker 3: a very ideological field. People struggle with calling balls and strikes.
Speaker 3: This other expert agreed, I think the story is going
Speaker 3: untold for the same reason journalists ignored the successful school
Speaker 3: reopening stories in Florida and the rest of the Sun
Speaker 3: Belt in August of twenty twenty. The appetite to tell
Speaker 3: positive stories in red states is low.
Speaker 5: Man, you wouldn't think if you were going to start
Speaker 5: from scratch that public schools would be so politicized.
Speaker 3: Right. Another expert who she's been quoting all along, and
Speaker 3: there's a part of me that we will post this.
Speaker 3: I think we can post this at Armstrong and Giddy
Speaker 3: dot com. I'd love to just read the whole thing
Speaker 3: to you because it's so incredibly well written, researched, and
Speaker 3: just it's so powerful. But a third expert said, we've
Speaker 3: been slow to learn the lessons of successful states when
Speaker 3: the politics don't line up. There's also just a pervasive
Speaker 3: sense of complacency about schools in blue states and cities, where,
Speaker 3: at least until recently, local school boards have been more
Speaker 3: interested in issues around equity than measurably improving learning outcomes.
Speaker 3: Some of that is burnout from the last round of
Speaker 3: education reforms, which were viewed in progressive circles as assaults
Speaker 3: on teachers' unions that focus too much on teaching to
Speaker 3: the test. But I routinely see people on the American
Speaker 3: left say that our schools are doing well, And I'm
Speaker 3: not sure whether they are unaware that one third of
Speaker 3: our graduating seniors can barely read and interpret passages of text,
Speaker 3: or they just think that's okay.
Speaker 5: Well, nobody thinks that's okay. I guess by definitely, And
Speaker 5: I think it's okay because it's happening and they're not
Speaker 5: doing anything about it. But uh, yeah, I don't know how.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 5: I assume teachers all across the country, even in blue
Speaker 5: states here, these national report cards are their local report cards.
Speaker 5: They've got to be aware, right that they're graduating lots
Speaker 5: of people that can't read or do math. They have
Speaker 5: to be aware of that.
Speaker 3: They've convinced themselves of the arguments that the teachers' unions
Speaker 3: make though.
Speaker 5: We don't have enough money, we have more money, we
Speaker 5: could do it, we.
Speaker 3: Need more money, or you know, people, The one thing
Speaker 3: that amazes me more every single day I do this
Speaker 3: job is the extent to which ideology can blind people
Speaker 3: to that which is plainly clearly true. And you have
Speaker 3: the solution. We all have the solution. But because you know,
Speaker 3: as the one guy said, this is a very politicized
Speaker 3: field of work. Education is the more the last field
Speaker 3: of work should be that should be politicized.
Speaker 5: Have is the wrong word. We have the solution because
Speaker 5: this is one of the unique situations where we had
Speaker 5: the solution. This isn't how you don't even have to
Speaker 5: invent anything new. This is not a problem where there's
Speaker 5: a solution that somebody came up with. We just need
Speaker 5: to implement it. No, we had it for a thousand years.
Speaker 5: How long we have figured it out. It's not rocket science.
Speaker 5: Oddly enough, we got rid of the solution. No need
Speaker 5: to bring them back.
Speaker 3: Twenty thousand dollars to have a million stickers made of
Speaker 3: various sizes and shapes, and I'm going to distribute them.
Speaker 3: I'm going to drive around the country and distribute them
Speaker 3: everywhere that say teach phonics. Now I want them. I
Speaker 3: don't care if it's littering. I want them everywhere. I
Speaker 3: want them on light poles, on gas pumps, on vehicles,
Speaker 3: park next to you at the parking lot. Needs to
Speaker 3: be everywhere. We've got to save our children. And the teachers'
Speaker 3: unions embracing aggressive politics it's not a very good counter
Speaker 3: argument to saving the children. God, this makes me insane,
Speaker 3: It really does.
Speaker 5: Right, you can get way more excited about coming up
Speaker 5: with electric school buses than can the kids do math.
Speaker 5: By the way, on the electric school was no huh, Well,
Speaker 5: look at.
Speaker 3: Churning out illiterate children. We've been slow to learn lessons
Speaker 3: of successful states when the politics don't line up. Same
Speaker 3: reason they ignored successful school reopening stories in Florida and
Speaker 3: the rest of the Sun Belt in August of twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: The appetite to tell positive stories about red states is low.
Speaker 5: Well, and the example I've used a million times where
Speaker 5: I was I moved to my kid seven miles from
Speaker 5: a closed school to an open private school. How do
Speaker 5: you explain that. How do you explain there's a school
Speaker 5: right over there, it's open and people aren't dying when
Speaker 5: they aren't stacking bodies.
Speaker 3: La la la la la la la la la la
Speaker 3: la la la la la la la gets through a
Speaker 3: force field. La la la la la la. I won't
Speaker 3: answer that question. I'll even pretend I didn't hear it.
Speaker 3: La la la la la la.
Speaker 5: Do you have those California statistics handy that you opened with.
Speaker 3: Four out of five? Oh? Oh, the educational stuff I do. Ah,
Speaker 3: those are amazing.
Speaker 5: Everybody should know that.
Speaker 3: There you go in the home state of California. Her
Speaker 3: home state of California, thoroughly unioned up, throwing more money
Speaker 3: per student at kids than any state in the Union.
Speaker 3: Only thirty percent of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's shocking enough, because proficiently is not like proficient sounds
Speaker 3: like you know, I'm a proficient surfer. I'm there on
Speaker 3: the big Island, I'm on the big waves. I'm proficient. No,
Speaker 3: that means you're adequate, You're not failing. Really, here's the nightmare.
Speaker 3: Here's why, and I'm serious. I have horror violence, but
Speaker 3: parents should be in the streets with bandanas and axe handles,
Speaker 3: just to make a point, don't hit anybody with it. Fully,
Speaker 3: forty one percent cannot even read at a basic level,
Speaker 3: which is to say they cannot really understand and interpret
Speaker 3: written text at all. That's fourth graders and eighth graders,
Speaker 3: as you might expect, look almost as bad. And these
Speaker 3: numbers have been tumbling downhill in California and the other
Speaker 3: blue states across the US for years, years, and a
Speaker 3: few red states too, until they did what Mississippi and
Speaker 3: Alabama and Louisiana are doing, go back to phonics basis
Speaker 3: education and teaching the teachers how to teach this stuff.
Speaker 3: Getting back to basics.
Speaker 5: Man, you cannot as a parent with a public school.
Speaker 5: I've had private school experience, and private schools stay on
Speaker 5: top of it. They let you know if your kid
Speaker 5: is not doing well. But public school you got to
Speaker 5: You've got to like almost have your own set of
Speaker 5: tests your kids to have any idea how they're actually doing.
Speaker 3: It's a nightmare.
Speaker 5: You can't just assume that if you send them off
Speaker 5: to the school, they're going to learn to read and write.
Speaker 5: As you just heard from the statistics god that it
Speaker 5: is a sin. It's horrifying. Hey, if you want a
Speaker 5: comment on that, you know, order to find his text
Speaker 5: line four one two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1: Maderna and Merk say that a personalized mRNA vaccine combined
Speaker 1: with the immunotherapy Kutruda succeeded in.
Speaker 3: A late stage trial for melanoma.
Speaker 1: The vaccine is based on the same technology behind COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen vaccines. The study is still ongoing, but so far
Speaker 1: results have shown the treatment prevented cancer from returning or
Speaker 1: spreading among high risk melanoma patients.
Speaker 5: The sert A vaccine for people who talk too slow.
Speaker 5: That is a really good news.
Speaker 3: That is, it's amazing.
Speaker 5: One of the deadliest cancers out there, the really bad
Speaker 5: kind of melanoma. They might be something really good there.
Speaker 5: So I hope that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, promising technology for sure.
Speaker 5: Uh. Speaking of drugs, interesting article in the Wall Street
Speaker 5: Journal about the billions of dollars food makers are going
Speaker 5: to lose out on because of gop ones.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're desperate. What are we supposed to sell?
Speaker 5: I hadn't even really thought of that angle of it.
Speaker 5: As the Wall Street Journal says, for decades, food companies
Speaker 5: have relied on a proven playbook cater to consumer's taste,
Speaker 5: boods with sugar, salt, and steadily expanding galaxy of flavors.
Speaker 3: You know, in the calexy of flavor.
Speaker 5: You know how there's like nineteen different kinds of Dorito's.
Speaker 5: That sort of thing. Fine tuning products to cravings and
Speaker 5: indulgence has led critics to accuse food makers of hooking
Speaker 5: consumers on food and addicting them and snacks the same
Speaker 5: way nicotine hooks smokers. But now with gop ones, people
Speaker 5: are eating a lot less, taking in fewer calories, and
Speaker 5: the food makers are trying to sid what are we
Speaker 5: going to do? Now, that's an interesting one, say, Yeah,
Speaker 5: how do we package it?
Speaker 3: What color do we make it? Isn't we don't know.
Speaker 5: I think you're just out of lock. People are gonna
Speaker 5: eat less of your stuff. Find a new line of work.
Speaker 3: I think maybe adapting what you do and trying to
Speaker 3: find innovative solutions would be worth trying. But to a
Speaker 3: large extent, you're right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you might have to go healthy protein, variety of
Speaker 5: things that gop one users want because they ain't gonna
Speaker 5: want the stuff that you have. There as many as
Speaker 5: fifty five million Americans, or fifteen percent of the population
Speaker 5: they think will be on this by twenty thirty five,
Speaker 5: which is only you know, nine years away. Yeah, yeah, wow,
Speaker 5: I hadn't even thought about that angle of it. I
Speaker 5: went to a restaurant the other day where I normally
Speaker 5: eat you know, X meal, and I eat b y
Speaker 5: meal because of the being on the zep bound tiny salad,
Speaker 5: and that was it. I didn't even want that. I
Speaker 5: only ate that because I thought I should.
Speaker 3: Are you going to the bathroom more? Trying to be delicate? No,
Speaker 3: I'm quite serious.
Speaker 5: You're trying to be delicate by asking a grown coworker
Speaker 5: are you going out?
Speaker 3: Stool calls your.
Speaker 5: Stool because of the drug, right, you do have to
Speaker 5: watch eat the amount of fiber they tell you to
Speaker 5: take in. How am I supposed to get that much fiber?
Speaker 5: How am I supposed to pack the much into my
Speaker 5: life when I'm not first and I'm not hungry anyway.
Speaker 5: So you've got to make sure you have plenty of protein,
Speaker 5: plenty of proto muscles from going away, and lots of
Speaker 5: fibers so you're not stove up as traffic on I five. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I haven't figured that out. Maybe those of you are
Speaker 5: on and have figured it out. But to get the
Speaker 5: amount of fiber and protein that you need when you
Speaker 5: don't want to eat.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 5: Gotta have the uh metamucile of protein shake. I guess,
Speaker 5: I guess lots of them, whether you're hungry or not.
Speaker 5: Suck them down.
Speaker 3: Suck them down.
Speaker 5: So Trump with a heck of a truth social post
Speaker 5: economic d Day, he announced on Iran and anybody who
Speaker 5: supports them, among other things we've got to talk about.
Speaker 5: You know, he knows a lot about flag bol.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: As you remember, I donated the flag poles, one on
Speaker 4: each side, Chris, the White House didn't really have an
Speaker 4: appropriate American flag. It had a small one on top.
Speaker 4: We left that, but it didn't have an appropriate American flag.
Speaker 5: And this is a great pole. This is the top
Speaker 5: of the line. It's tapered.
Speaker 4: This isn't a straight up and down job, which looks terrible. Frankly,
Speaker 4: that's a tapered bowl.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 5: I'm very good at flag poles.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: That might be my favorite Trump clip ever. That was
Speaker 3: Sean Farrash, the Trump him.
Speaker 5: I watched it yesterday.
Speaker 3: It had to be.
Speaker 5: That was him on the White House lawn with the
Speaker 5: new helipad and discussion. Before I get to a couple
Speaker 5: of serious Trump things. That Eric Swalwell thing, I completely
Speaker 5: misguessed what it was about. So Swallow former congressman, wanted
Speaker 5: to be senator, wanted to be a president. Uh, grabbed
Speaker 5: at the airport, took all of his electronic devices. FBI
Speaker 5: showed up at his house, went in, took a bunch
Speaker 5: of stuff. It's all about those sexual assault allegations, not
Speaker 5: about the fang fang spy thing.
Speaker 3: Sexual assault.
Speaker 5: I remember, that's why. That's why he resigned, because of
Speaker 5: all those videos rolling around on the bed with the
Speaker 5: chick who said she was too drunk and all that
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. Oh, that's why he resigned. Wasn't the
Speaker 5: fang fang stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, in short, he busted the.
Speaker 5: Trust and then hey, bus, don't bust the trust he busted.
Speaker 3: Don't bust the trust.
Speaker 5: That was the billionaire he was living with. Who thought?
Speaker 3: Who thought he was marrying the penthouse pet, serial fraudster,
Speaker 3: thief girl. Oh boy, what a circle of friends. Wow.
Speaker 5: Anyway, So there you go. There's that. To the Trump things.
Speaker 5: I'll do the serious one than the non serious one.
Speaker 5: I guess I'm going to do it in that order.
Speaker 5: Trump with the truth social post early today, no one
Speaker 5: has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity
Speaker 5: to make a deal than me. I'd say that's true.
Speaker 5: Tragically for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore,
Speaker 5: today I'm announcing the this is an all caps most
Speaker 5: crushing economic operation ever taking against any country.
Speaker 3: All the ager to pum the most quite the acronym.
Speaker 5: The most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country.
Speaker 5: This will be economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale.
Speaker 5: Their navy has gone, their air force has destroyed, their
Speaker 5: military factories are now rubble. They're currency is worthless, and
Speaker 5: their country is hanging by a thread. All of its true,
Speaker 5: except for that last part. We don't know about the
Speaker 5: last part. Are they hanging by a thread or could
Speaker 5: they easily hang on for like several more years. Right today,
Speaker 5: I'm announcing that any all caps country that allows its
Speaker 5: financial institute, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any
Speaker 5: time of lifeline to Iran will itself will itself face
Speaker 5: tremendous economic consequences. Oil smuggling swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses,
Speaker 5: ship registries, front companies. It all needs to stop. Now
Speaker 5: you know who you are. This will be an in
Speaker 5: all caps economic d day. These are historic measures to
Speaker 5: cripple them.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: There is a story of the Wall Street Journal over
Speaker 5: the weekend that there's some gazillionaire Chinese company that has
Speaker 5: been doing oil business with Iran through this whole thing,
Speaker 5: illegally sanctioned oil, doing it illegally. I'm sure. Obviously our
Speaker 5: government's aware of it. If the Wall Street journalizes a
Speaker 5: story about it, Do we have the ability to punish
Speaker 5: that company in Iran? I don't know. There is an
Speaker 5: announcement today by the UAE Universe Arab Emirates, which what
Speaker 5: is that AE I OU e I E I O
Speaker 5: U A that they're going to stop something that they
Speaker 5: weren't supposed to be doing because of this announcement, So
Speaker 5: uh uh what effect they'll have? Hopefully it will and
Speaker 5: hopefully have the we have the ability to punish people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, war and profiteering go hand in hand. They always
Speaker 3: have and always will. You limited as much as you can,
Speaker 3: but yeah, there are even some of our so called
Speaker 3: allies who are like you know, yeah, we're with you,
Speaker 3: but if we made a few million dollars around the
Speaker 3: edges here, what's the harm? So hey, he's going to
Speaker 3: crack down on that stuff.
Speaker 5: Here's a dumb Trump story, not dumb Trump, but a
Speaker 5: story that is not important.
Speaker 3: But it's kind of I.
Speaker 5: Remember old Michael Cohen. Remember Michael Cohen, the lawyer which
Speaker 5: polls all of them.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, his all Crump's fixer and momster, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: shady lawyer.
Speaker 5: And then turned against Trump, became a celebrity of the left,
Speaker 5: even though he was clearly a scumbag who is willing
Speaker 5: to do anything for Trump up until it you know,
Speaker 5: it didn't help.
Speaker 3: Him, right, an avnaughty esque character.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Michael cohenan President Donald Trump have apparently patched up
Speaker 5: their differences in private. The President's scheduled to do a
Speaker 5: interview on Cohen's radio show that the Trump fixer began
Speaker 5: hosting last month. So Michael Cohen has a radio show
Speaker 5: in New York and he's gonna have Trump on as
Speaker 5: a guest. Cohen, in an interview ahead of the broadcast,
Speaker 5: said that he and his former boss have met privately
Speaker 5: three times and reconciled since a bitter and very public
Speaker 5: falling out during the president's first term, including being involved
Speaker 5: in him impeaching him. I suggest you listened to the show.
Speaker 5: You might find it extremely interesting, he told Politico and
Speaker 5: what's known as the Business as a teas to get
Speaker 5: more listeners.
Speaker 3: Right right.
Speaker 5: I doubt anything's interesting at all that happens in it,
Speaker 5: but the fact that they've patched things up, okay.
Speaker 3: I've got to admit I'm slightly curious as to what
Speaker 3: sort of radio show slash podcast Michael Goe might put on.
Speaker 3: I mean, because he's obviously a character.
Speaker 5: Is he a one note song, one trick pony? The
Speaker 5: only thing he can talk about is that whole world?
Speaker 5: Or is he, you know, got other takes about other things?
Speaker 5: Is he talking about Angela Reese versus Caitlin Clark, or
Speaker 5: you know anything else? I don't know. By the way,
Speaker 5: the Angela Reese missing layup feed, I wish I could
Speaker 5: get that out of my algorithm. I find it entertaining
Speaker 5: right for a day or so, all right, but I
Speaker 5: don't need it every single day fed into my algorithm.
Speaker 5: I feel like there are other real stories that I'm
Speaker 5: missing out on because I get fed the these are
Speaker 5: the Angel Reese missed last night feed that I got
Speaker 5: because I clicked on it once?
Speaker 3: Yes, funny. There are a couple of things like that
Speaker 3: in life, including golfers know what I'm talking about the
Speaker 3: golf handicap system. You can have five terrible rounds in
Speaker 3: a row and your your handicapped number doesn't drop or
Speaker 3: doesn't rise. Rather, but if you have like one good round,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you're Jack Nicholas and you've got
Speaker 3: a handicap you can't live up to. Well. The algorithms
Speaker 3: are kind of the same. If you watch like three
Speaker 3: angelaries missing layups videos, they're convinced that for the rest
Speaker 3: of your life, that is your top priority. And how
Speaker 3: long would you have to go without watching one before
Speaker 3: they realize, Uh, the bloom's off? That rose?
Speaker 5: Based on my experience, like with YouTube, it's a very
Speaker 5: very long time that some topics that I haven't gone
Speaker 5: to in a year and you still give me those.
Speaker 5: Hey remember last year when you checked out the video
Speaker 5: and whatever the hell was? Yeah, remember that topic. You
Speaker 5: were early into that for a while. God have they
Speaker 5: noticed as annoying?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you noticed how good Twitter's gotten at the
Speaker 3: video algorithms. Now, I will watch a political algorithm or
Speaker 3: a video and think, wow, we got to use this
Speaker 3: for the show whatever, and then it'll roll into what's yours?
Speaker 3: What does it always roll into for you?
Speaker 5: I get a fair amount of the DSA stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's often what I'm watching in the
Speaker 3: first place. But it almost always rolls into.
Speaker 5: In between angela ree missing layups?
Speaker 3: Well? Is Twitter tied to YouTube? Are those videos coming
Speaker 3: from seeing them on Twitter?
Speaker 5: A couple of Twitter feeds that are nothing but missed
Speaker 5: layups in the WN It's hilarious.
Speaker 3: So but so I will watch like a DSA related
Speaker 3: video and it always rolls into a Sopranos video. Wow.
Speaker 3: See I don't get ideas a lot. That would be
Speaker 3: a four other great movie scenes.
Speaker 5: Hey, young people, you should just sit down at a
Speaker 5: bar or a party something time and compare algorithms just
Speaker 5: to see your different lifestyles and personalities, just because all
Speaker 5: you have to do is open up Twitter or YouTube
Speaker 5: and see what the front pages like mine currently is
Speaker 5: almost all Shane Gillis professors talking about ulysses and Larry
Speaker 5: Bird highlights and women missing women missing layups.
Speaker 3: Well, see, that's what we ought to do. We ought
Speaker 3: to just to open up Twitter and go to whatever
Speaker 3: you know it libs a TikTok and watch the video
Speaker 3: then see what it rolls into.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so I gotta pause this because this is
Speaker 5: gonna have bad language. And I hate that it goes
Speaker 5: to shorts right away because they're trying to hick you
Speaker 5: the hook you they know you like the shorts.
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, I'm sorry. I just came across this trial
Speaker 3: in New New England. I'm sorry New Zealand, where rape
Speaker 3: victims are being compelled to say I was penetrated by
Speaker 3: her penis because this rapist now is claiming to be transgender,
Speaker 3: being required to that. Folks fight against this stuff, all right.
Speaker 3: We'd have to come across the same tweet though a
Speaker 3: couple of quick on following. We can do this later.
Speaker 3: We'll report back.
Speaker 5: But that, like I, like I said a couple of
Speaker 5: weeks ago, I think that might be the way I
Speaker 5: should put people together for dating. You know, if it
Speaker 5: could somehow access your YouTube reels or Instagram or Twitter
Speaker 5: algorithm that would have a better or TikTok would be
Speaker 5: the best. Probably figuring out that's your personality, try to
Speaker 5: match that up with somebody else's god the same thing,
Speaker 5: because I diden't up dating a dude.
Speaker 3: Which would be uncomfortable at first. Yeah, I see I
Speaker 3: but again I agree with you when you're not saying
Speaker 3: what you just said that no, no, no, no, having interest
Speaker 3: in common isn't a great predictor no, no, it's not,
Speaker 3: it's not.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about that yesterday. For some reason, the
Speaker 5: online dating thing popped into my head just as opposed
Speaker 5: to natural dating. I don't remember what it was with
Speaker 5: something in there, but it's the somebody mentioned I was
Speaker 5: listening to something where they're talking about red flags, and
Speaker 5: that's a big thing in the online world of dating
Speaker 5: and everything, like your various red flags that you know
Speaker 5: get presented right off the bat in the online dating
Speaker 5: world for a variety of reasons. That in real life
Speaker 5: you might get to know a person, then get to
Speaker 5: know them a little better than kind of start to
Speaker 5: fall for him and really fall for him, and then
Speaker 5: one of these red flag shows up that you think
Speaker 5: I can put up with that. Yeah, all the other
Speaker 5: stuff outweighs that I'm not perfect either, and I love
Speaker 5: her exactly. Yeah, but currently we put all the red
Speaker 5: flags up front and then cut off any chance for
Speaker 5: anything beyond that, which is obviously dumb.
Speaker 3: Change research which tends to lean a little left. They
Speaker 3: just did a big poll of red flags and a
Speaker 3: partner speaking of this sort of thing, do you consider
Speaker 3: each of the following behaviors a red flag, a beige
Speaker 3: or a green flag in a partner? Number one cited
Speaker 3: by women red flag is they identify as a maga Republican.
Speaker 3: Number one among men is they identify as a communist.
Speaker 3: But it's seventy six percent of women.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of that. Oh, you want to
Speaker 5: hear something, which is another thing. Sane, which is another
Speaker 5: thing that like what I was just talking about, You wouldn't.
Speaker 5: You've got a coworker or friend of a friend, or
Speaker 5: woman you met at a barbecue or whatever. Maybe that's
Speaker 5: not a good example, but you get to know them,
Speaker 5: you like them whatever. You don't know what their politics are,
Speaker 5: you don't start there anyway.
Speaker 3: Probably fifty percent of women said this was a red
Speaker 3: flag serial killer. They don't care about politics.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've seen going to date.
Speaker 3: You unless you're political and you agree with me.
Speaker 5: I've seen that. I'm off the online dating thing. I
Speaker 5: tried that for a little while, and I think it's
Speaker 5: an ugly world. But there are a number of people
Speaker 5: put that if you say uh, because I forget, I forget.
Speaker 5: I've been off long enough. I don't remember the way
Speaker 5: people state their politics or whatever. But a lot of
Speaker 5: the if you don't have a position on politics, then
Speaker 5: I'm not interested. You're a coward or something like that.
Speaker 5: It's like, wow, what is wrong with you people? Of course,
Speaker 5: I got flipped off again yesterday driving down the street
Speaker 5: because I was in my cyber truck. Somebody stuck their
Speaker 5: hand out the window driving by me, flipping me off.
Speaker 5: And someday I hope to have a conversation with one
Speaker 5: of those people and say, so, I assume you think
Speaker 5: you're the normal one and I'm the abnormal one. I
Speaker 5: don't drive down the street flipping people off. You do,
Speaker 5: which one of us seems more out of line with
Speaker 5: normal society.
Speaker 3: You're going to reason with an unreasonable person. Enjoy that.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that was you.
Speaker 5: Very funny, Michael, very funny. I deserved a but up, bummer,
Speaker 5: applause or something that was good. We will finish strong
Speaker 5: next strong.
Speaker 3: We are finishing strong first a parody of going to
Speaker 3: lunch with a gen zer.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy we're finally getting lunch. No, because same,
Speaker 2: the salad is giving, it's giving, Lee's giving green area,
Speaker 2: it's giving tea. That part, what'd you get to today? No,
Speaker 2: because I lowkey just bet rotten and doom scrolled. I
Speaker 2: spent the morning writing.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's not that's not what just like that's not Wow.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen our waiter in like thirty minutes.
Speaker 7: Cock it No, because yeah, I'm feeling like low key
Speaker 7: over stinny right now, overstimulated just from us talking.
Speaker 5: So boy, my son and a couple of his friends
Speaker 5: were in my vehicle. I took him downtown week or
Speaker 5: so ago. Low key, I'll bet got said one hundred
Speaker 5: and fifty times. That is the like or kinda, kinda
Speaker 5: or whatever of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: I remember when my daughter first starts saying it several
Speaker 3: years ago. It's had staying power and is kind of annoying.
Speaker 3: So let's say the look at gen X in this one.
Speaker 6: First physical tickets and the purchase of your ticket.
Speaker 3: John, Sorry, Michael, stop you get all right, I didn't
Speaker 3: know somebody. You gotta tell me that the premise is
Speaker 3: what it would take to have gens X go back
Speaker 3: to concerts.
Speaker 6: First, physical tickets and the purchase of your tickets should
Speaker 6: include complimentary readers and ibuprofen chairs would be awesome. Panta
Speaker 6: chairs with the back. None of those stools are high chairs.
Speaker 6: Arsayata can't deal with that. Clean restrooms. Find the band
Speaker 6: one thousand dollars for every minute they are late taking
Speaker 6: the stage from the start time. If it's spring or summer,
Speaker 6: it should start no later than three pm, so we
Speaker 6: could be home by six pm.
Speaker 3: That's my club I've want to open.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it needs to be that early,
Speaker 5: but why a concert doesn't start it? Okay, you gotta
Speaker 5: get off work, so started at five?
Speaker 3: It's six, yeah, but bands and clubs always go on
Speaker 3: nine is like the earliest.
Speaker 5: That's the early show.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, how about seven. Let's all go from seven
Speaker 3: to ten, then go home to bed at a reasonable hour. Okay.
Speaker 5: Physical tickets need to make a comeback unless you get
Speaker 5: the system for reading people's tickets off their phone faster.
Speaker 5: Go to the baseball game the other day. The line
Speaker 5: way longer than back in the day when you had
Speaker 5: a physical.
Speaker 3: Ticket and seriously, I've gotten laid at eight o'clock at night,
Speaker 3: I've gotten drunk, I've done drugs, I've met interesting people.
Speaker 3: I've played my guitar. I've done virtually everything a human
Speaker 3: being can do at eight o'clock in the evening, there's
Speaker 3: no need to be out till Louis hours.
Speaker 2: Almost finish.
Speaker 3: Rocket. Let's get ready.
Speaker 2: Final thoughts with Armstrong and Gety.
Speaker 3: I wonder how would that be?
Speaker 5: It would be a great show to start at six
Speaker 5: thirty or so. I wonder how that popped in to
Speaker 5: his head one day. Here's your kids whom I know him,
Speaker 5: he's a good friend. Okay, here's your host for final thoughts,
Speaker 5: Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 3: to wrap up to day. Wouldn't that be delightful? Mike
Speaker 3: Langelow lead us off. What's your final thought?
Speaker 4: We have got to teach kids how a business works
Speaker 4: and how capitalism works in schools so that we don't
Speaker 4: have as many socialists.
Speaker 3: Well, we got to teach him to read first, and
Speaker 3: they're not doing that. Katie Green are esteemed and us woman.
Speaker 3: As a final thought, Katie, I have a.
Speaker 5: Friend in her mid twenties who asked me if I
Speaker 5: wanted to go out with her last weekend and after
Speaker 5: what time? She said nine pm, and I just laughed
Speaker 5: at her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hilarious. That's a good one, uh jack A final
Speaker 3: thoughts for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we did a lot of talking about youth today
Speaker 5: and had a conversation with somebody yesterday and got back
Speaker 5: onto the topic of we need to always remember adults.
Speaker 5: They didn't raise themselves. They didn't raise themselves. We're the
Speaker 5: way we are because of the way we were raised
Speaker 5: and educated. They're the way they are because the way
Speaker 5: they were raised and educated.
Speaker 3: Speaking of edgemacation, I would suggest that the second half
Speaker 3: of our three and the first half of our four
Speaker 3: today of the show are well worth listening to via
Speaker 3: podcast if you miss them. Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 3: Our government schools are a miserable failure and they could
Speaker 3: turn around this year, but they won't because of politics.
Speaker 3: It's horrifying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I left out the important sentence switches and we're
Speaker 5: the ones that raised and educated them. Yeah, Armstrong in
Speaker 5: Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 3: Somebody ought to kick our asses. So many people think
Speaker 3: so little time go to Armstrong and Getdy dot com.
