Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty arm.
Speaker 2: Strong and Jettie and Pee.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Catty Strong, arm Strong and Getty. We're featuring
Speaker 3: our podcast One More Thing.
Speaker 4: Find it wherever you find all your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Drama in real life.
Speaker 3: What was the last time you took over the One
Speaker 3: More Thing podcast?
Speaker 2: What was that one about? Was that your health?
Speaker 5: Say?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was type two diabetes?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: That was an interesting story, unfortunate for you, obviously interesting.
Speaker 2: How is that going by it?
Speaker 6: That's going very well.
Speaker 7: Actually, now I have a funny story about that. They
Speaker 7: want to pump me forward. They wanted to give me
Speaker 7: a bunch of drugs, and I said, I will change
Speaker 7: my diet, I will exercise, I've been doing all these things.
Speaker 7: And one doctor said no, no, no, no, you got
Speaker 7: to be on these drugs for life. And I've been
Speaker 7: able to do it without it pretty much, and so
Speaker 7: I'm not going back to that doctor.
Speaker 2: Two interesting things about that.
Speaker 3: One, I think the doctor's recognizing reality that like ninety
Speaker 3: five percent of people don't do anything about their diet.
Speaker 3: But two, the fact that they would push the drugs
Speaker 3: on you rather than like really push the diet part.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was just reading about the incredible pressure that is
Speaker 5: on doctors now to see thirty seven patients in a
Speaker 5: single day, and they are just pushed and pushed and
Speaker 5: pushed by their corporate overlords.
Speaker 2: And so this doc, I don't know, you're Doc Michael,
Speaker 2: and I'm.
Speaker 5: Just guessing, but it could be he's thinking, I don't
Speaker 5: have time for the You got to take care of yourself,
Speaker 5: and here's how lecture. And then when you hem and
Speaker 5: haw say all right, here's the other alternative, blah blah blah,
Speaker 5: or why didn't you come back and see me in
Speaker 5: a week because you can't get an appointment for three
Speaker 5: and a half months. So he just thinks, let's cut
Speaker 5: to the chase. Take these pills, get now, get I
Speaker 5: gotta go see.
Speaker 2: Thirty six more patients. Well there's that.
Speaker 3: And then not to be the conspiracy guy, but I mean,
Speaker 3: if you prescribe medicine, somebody's paying for it and somebody's
Speaker 3: receiving money, so there's got.
Speaker 2: To be some incentive.
Speaker 3: Someone might not be the doctor, but there's got to
Speaker 3: be an incentive somewhere along the line to have you
Speaker 3: taking drugs as opposed to eating better, right, I mean,
Speaker 3: people make money if you don't eat better.
Speaker 7: I was told that they have medical reps come by
Speaker 7: all the time. Oh yeah, promoting drugs ywh.
Speaker 5: Well and big pharma allegedly. And I don't know whether
Speaker 5: this motivates people a little or a lot. We'll have
Speaker 5: a four day conference on how Zunetra can help your patients.
Speaker 5: It's in Maui. It's at the fourth Seasons. There's a
Speaker 5: twenty five minute meeting each morning where you talk about Zunetra.
Speaker 5: Then you're free for the rest of the day, expenses paid.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't talked about this in years, but I
Speaker 3: used to be friends with somebody who was a pharmaceutical
Speaker 3: rep and just lived two houses down for me, And
Speaker 3: so she would book these really expensive day at the
Speaker 3: most expensive place in town. But if they didn't have
Speaker 3: all the seats filled, they were gonna get paid for anyway.
Speaker 3: She'd say, Hey, I got two extra seats. So we
Speaker 3: would go and eat the meals and hang around. And
Speaker 3: sometimes I'd have to like kind of pretend I was
Speaker 3: a doctor or something like that if somebody asked me
Speaker 3: a question, but they were getting wined and dined at
Speaker 3: the most expensive place in town with an open bar
Speaker 3: and everything like that, to tell them about some drug
Speaker 3: and there'd be a five minute slideshow about the drugs
Speaker 3: and then you get like a three hundred dollars meal
Speaker 3: for free.
Speaker 5: Oh I'd make hay with that opportunity. Man, I turn
Speaker 5: to my left and say, what do you prefer? Viruses
Speaker 5: or bacteria?
Speaker 8: Oh my god, to be at the same table with
Speaker 8: you two pretending to be doctors.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: I was always dreading if somebody actually asked me if
Speaker 3: fractures there's something, aren't they I don't know what I
Speaker 3: would say.
Speaker 2: Oh, I tell you what, Yeah, I hate to see it,
Speaker 2: but you gotta.
Speaker 1: Deal with it.
Speaker 3: Imm wrong, So I told him, don't do that anyway.
Speaker 3: Let's wait for the stake to show up. Oh the
Speaker 3: other thing there, I knew there were there were Actually
Speaker 3: there was another thing now I've forgotten.
Speaker 2: I'm Joe Biden. Like man, I do notice when I
Speaker 2: don't get enough sleep that I can't.
Speaker 3: Remember near as well my sentences now my sentences in
Speaker 3: the middle, and I can't finish, can't remember the end.
Speaker 2: The Oh.
Speaker 3: The direct relationship between eating better and your your body
Speaker 3: changing or getting better numbers.
Speaker 2: Even though that's obviously clearly.
Speaker 3: True, I'm always still somewhat surprised, like I eat really
Speaker 3: good and look I'm a couple of pounds lighter, or
Speaker 3: the opposite, I eat really bad and I'm.
Speaker 2: A couple of pounds every year.
Speaker 3: It's just, even though I know it's true, to see
Speaker 3: it like in black and white in front of me
Speaker 3: is always just a little something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like the old I feel better after a
Speaker 5: drink or two the next morning than I did after
Speaker 5: the night I had seven. I'll be damned, I've only
Speaker 5: learned that lesson five million times.
Speaker 2: Right, Anyway, what's your tale today, Michael?
Speaker 6: Okay, so here we go.
Speaker 7: Yesterday had to get my teeth cleaned, and I have
Speaker 7: a very good dental hygienis who I've had for years.
Speaker 6: He's really gentle, she does teeth well. She doesn't do
Speaker 6: no hurt, no pain.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 7: So I show up the dentist yesterday and it turns
Speaker 7: out she's not there, and I had didn't know this.
Speaker 7: She goes, we have somebody else though, that will take you.
Speaker 7: And so I get this person. And now you put
Speaker 7: it this way, I'm still tasting blood today from them scraping.
Speaker 2: Brune Hilda, the cruel.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 2: No, nobody in this scenario speaks English.
Speaker 3: And it was in a garage and Rioalnda correct, No, no, no,
Speaker 3: actual dental practice.
Speaker 6: Actual dental practice. Good place.
Speaker 7: But I don't know if this was a new employee
Speaker 7: or what the deal was, but uh, she was really rough.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: You put the tube in to suck the water out,
Speaker 7: and she was just jamming it down there.
Speaker 6: Physical reaction, this was crazy.
Speaker 2: When did she leaves?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: And then I guess she got behind on our schedule,
Speaker 7: and so the doctor had come to her and said, said,
Speaker 7: you know, is he almost done?
Speaker 6: She goes, well, it's gonna be a few minutes, just
Speaker 6: a few minutes.
Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, she starts putting the
Speaker 7: polish on my teeth and rubbing as fast as you can,
Speaker 7: starts grabs the water and just starts squirting my mouth.
Speaker 7: You know, just it's just crazy.
Speaker 2: So wow, that's terrible. So you like a car wash wash?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Literally, So just we're running out of time.
Speaker 5: So you picked up the poker and you stabbed her
Speaker 5: with it, and you wonder, what were you in the right.
Speaker 6: Somebody that doesn't like conflicts.
Speaker 7: So I just held on for dear life and I
Speaker 7: just put up with it, and I'm fine, but I'm
Speaker 7: debating do I called him and let them know, Hey,
Speaker 7: this person was really rough. This is terrible because I
Speaker 7: got to go back there in a few months and it.
Speaker 2: Was really painful. Per well. He asked two questions.
Speaker 3: The first one I've had before where it's like, the
Speaker 3: last person's better at this, but I don't want to
Speaker 3: make another appointment. I need to get this done now,
Speaker 3: and so it's not just conflict avoid and it's like
Speaker 3: the reality of trying to get the person you like better.
Speaker 3: So that's that's one thing. But then the complain, Hell, yea,
Speaker 3: is I'm complaining?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 7: It was funny during the whole procedure though. She goes, I, no,
Speaker 7: you're just laying there. She goes, I take that as
Speaker 7: a compliment. It means that I'm not hurting you. And
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, is this a common thing? Are people saying
Speaker 7: to her?
Speaker 2: You scream? She thinks everything's going fine. Yes, that's a
Speaker 2: really weird thing. She said, that's so odd.
Speaker 8: I would definitely call Michael and maybe just say something
Speaker 8: along the lines of could I not be with this
Speaker 8: individual the next time because.
Speaker 2: That was a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I would go ahead and say why it
Speaker 5: was extremely uncomfortable. It was the most painful cleaning I've
Speaker 5: ever had.
Speaker 2: Say that. Yeah, that's that's perfectly reasonable to say.
Speaker 3: It's like when I used to talk about my man Pong,
Speaker 3: the phlebotomist draw blood for me. I would always call
Speaker 3: and see if Pong was there because he could do
Speaker 3: it where you didn't feel a thing. And I love Pong,
Speaker 3: but he quit and uh, and other people aren't as good.
Speaker 3: But I've never had anybody jab me in the side
Speaker 3: of the year with the needle and say sorry about that.
Speaker 7: I just want her to look at me next time
Speaker 7: I go and say, oh, you're the one that called.
Speaker 7: You're the one that got me in trouble, or something
Speaker 7: like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my brother, don't think it would go like that.
Speaker 3: I told the story years ago when my brother went
Speaker 3: into the hospital is here here in the local area,
Speaker 3: and man, the president of the hospital, ended up meeting
Speaker 3: me in the parking lot. After I told this story
Speaker 3: on the air, they were so worried. But anyway, they
Speaker 3: were trying to put an IV in my brother, and
Speaker 3: the guy just kept having to do it over and
Speaker 3: over and over again and jab him over.
Speaker 2: And over again.
Speaker 3: And my brother's incredibly stoic as a military dude and
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. It's part of his whole
Speaker 3: personality that he would never ever act like anything hurt
Speaker 3: underneath circumstance. But they really guy was, and the guy
Speaker 3: actually says to him, I'm sorry.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 3: I was at the casinos really late last night and
Speaker 3: just kept jelly oh, And I.
Speaker 2: Was like, dude, you gotta tell him. Nah. The only
Speaker 2: time I've ever had someone miss I. Oh, we're into this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's good for you.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, she missed three times and I want three strikes.
Speaker 8: You're out, You're done. I'm not doing this again. And
Speaker 8: I walked out, made another appointment. This was before it
Speaker 8: took eight months to get your blood drawn, though.
Speaker 2: But yeah, wow, wow.
Speaker 5: It's interesting because getting back to the whole doctors more
Speaker 5: than dentists. But it's just in my lifetime, the whole
Speaker 5: doctor patient relationship has evolved from I know you for
Speaker 5: years and years. You're like my partner in health. There's
Speaker 5: a great deal of respect for you. There's concern for me. Now,
Speaker 5: it's more like getting a burger out of a fast
Speaker 5: food joint. To some extent, I've got a great doc
Speaker 5: right now, but I've had a couple that were terrible,
Speaker 5: that were just they well, it was like eating a
Speaker 5: burger from a fast food joint. So I don't you know, Michael,
Speaker 5: I would. I would remember, you're a customer who's paying
Speaker 5: a great deal for a service, and there are other
Speaker 5: service providers and dentists are are skilled people and they're
Speaker 5: caring and the rest of it.
Speaker 2: But they're not They're not gods, they're not priests.
Speaker 3: I don't think this would be a bad way to
Speaker 3: handle you. Say, this is a deal I make with everybody.
Speaker 3: Whatever you do to me, I'm gonna do to you.
Speaker 3: Just keep that in mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's an idea.
Speaker 2: I brought my tools, and so you know you might
Speaker 2: own you think that over. You show up with your
Speaker 2: own tool, right you.
Speaker 5: And you say, I'm gonna give as much pain as
Speaker 5: I get, at least get started.
Speaker 3: If it's to you exactly, because you're a move ball
Speaker 3: is in your court.
Speaker 2: If I feel nothing, you feel nothing, That's what I'll do.
Speaker 6: I'll walk up to the receptionist. Scrape your teeth a
Speaker 6: little bit. Say does that hurt?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 6: Guess what that's what she did to me.
Speaker 2: Plot your hose, spray her with it right the face.
Speaker 2: How do you like it? Eh? Okay, hold still, lady,
Speaker 2: You're gonna feel a little pressure.
Speaker 12: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Gaddy Show.
Speaker 3: Fancy Armstrong Getty Show featuring our podcast One more Thing.
Speaker 13: We do a new one every day. Find it wherever
Speaker 13: you find your podcast. So maybe you became aware of
Speaker 13: this meme, this clip that went viral. As they do,
Speaker 13: I'm gonna start saying that just to annoy people. The
Speaker 13: clip went viral. Oh, let's start with the number six.
Speaker 13: This is the lady standing next to the partition in
Speaker 13: the plane, looking back toward the back section of the plane,
Speaker 13: chewing somebody out.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, and there's a reason.
Speaker 9: Or should not believe it, but I am telling you
Speaker 9: right now.
Speaker 2: There is not real and you can die.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to It's been a while now, and
Speaker 3: I just saw a little bit of it and there
Speaker 3: was something about the pitch of her voice.
Speaker 2: I just thought I'm out. So I haven't paid any
Speaker 2: attention to it.
Speaker 5: Attractive white girl pointing to the back of the plane,
Speaker 5: saying this m effort is not real.
Speaker 8: The best part is when the entire plane they all
Speaker 8: turn around to look at what is she talking about?
Speaker 2: All right? Is what not real? What do you mean?
Speaker 2: Not real? Not real? And then she hit some with
Speaker 2: you can die on this plane, but I'm not. I'm
Speaker 2: getting off. Who's not real?
Speaker 5: So you know, it obviously lent itself beautifully to various
Speaker 5: meanings about you know, who was on the who was
Speaker 5: in the plane that was not real, or what she meant.
Speaker 2: And that sort of thing. It exploded as those things do. Well.
Speaker 5: Here she is, I guess her name's Tiffany, which was perfect.
Speaker 5: She's explaining what the hell happened.
Speaker 2: First and foremost.
Speaker 11: I want to take full accountability for my actions. They
Speaker 11: were completely unacceptable. Distress or not I should have been.
Speaker 11: I should have been in control of my emotions and
Speaker 11: that was not the case.
Speaker 3: My use of.
Speaker 11: Profanity was completely unnecessary, and I want to apologize to
Speaker 11: everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.
Speaker 11: We all have our bad moments, some far worse than others,
Speaker 11: and mine happened to be caught on camera for the
Speaker 11: whole world. To see multiple times.
Speaker 2: Sorry, all right, sound.
Speaker 3: Like mini mouths.
Speaker 11: It has been really comic goal for everyone, and I
Speaker 11: have highly enjoyed so many of the means. On the
Speaker 11: flip side, it is very invasive and unkind, and I
Speaker 11: don't know what I would do without the love and
Speaker 11: support of my friends and family.
Speaker 2: I hope you use this experience.
Speaker 11: And you do a little bit of good in the world,
Speaker 11: and that I hope that you guys can accept my apologies.
Speaker 5: Please make it. You don't owe me an apology. I
Speaker 5: don't care now. I'd read that she got in a
Speaker 5: dispute with some family only members she was traveling with
Speaker 5: about whether they stole her earbuds or EarPods or whatever,
Speaker 5: and that it escalated the where it turned to this
Speaker 5: plane's gonna crash, You're gonna die. I'm getting off. I
Speaker 5: don't know whether she was psychotic. She didn't sound drunk,
Speaker 5: but she might be one of those people who sounds pretty,
Speaker 5: you know, sharp, even when she's hammered.
Speaker 8: Yes, No, I was just gonna say that video explained nothing.
Speaker 8: She did not tell us how many acid tablets she
Speaker 8: dropped before getting.
Speaker 2: On that plane.
Speaker 3: Yes, she never got to the realness or lack thereof
Speaker 3: of the gentleman in the back of the plane, which
Speaker 3: is the is the thing and I didn't know is
Speaker 3: apologizing for hilarious memes a thing? Now you have to
Speaker 3: go and post a video where I take full responsibility
Speaker 3: for this hilarious meme.
Speaker 2: What is that? I kind of.
Speaker 8: Felt bad for her because after this video surfaced, you know,
Speaker 8: it went everywhere, and then the next headline following was
Speaker 8: the inner Internet trying to figure out who she was, right,
Speaker 8: So all these you know, Internet sleuths were digging to
Speaker 8: get her information and now she finally, you know, she
Speaker 8: had to block all of her stuff on social media,
Speaker 8: so it was a headline on top of a headline.
Speaker 2: So yeah, just trying to clear herself.
Speaker 3: God help you if you ever become one of these people,
Speaker 3: because I'm sure it gets into They get into every
Speaker 3: aspect of your life and you know, what you did
Speaker 3: in high school and your ex boyfriend from college and
Speaker 3: everything else all of a sudden appears in the world.
Speaker 2: But she did.
Speaker 3: So is there still any explanation for the.
Speaker 2: The that mf or isn't real?
Speaker 5: Well, there's there's more to the clip that I don't know,
Speaker 5: but there's more to the clip. You can sit on
Speaker 5: this plane and you can effing die with them or not.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to as we heard, she demanded that
Speaker 5: the crew quote stop the plane, and the aircraft was
Speaker 5: brought back to the gate and she was ejected.
Speaker 2: We've all had our bad moments, Joe. She takes full responsibility.
Speaker 2: It's a good point.
Speaker 5: She then allegedly refused to leave the boarding area, continued
Speaker 5: to rent while being escorted outside the terminal, where she
Speaker 5: repeatedly scored officers insisted the plane would explode after takeoff.
Speaker 5: She then snuck through security a couple of more times,
Speaker 5: or attempted to, or went through security a couple more times,
Speaker 5: and they kicked her out of the terminal again.
Speaker 3: Man, she's lucky she did this in twenty twenty three
Speaker 3: and not in like twenty twelve, or she would have
Speaker 3: been duct taped to the cargo hold of the plane
Speaker 3: back when we took all this sort of stuff. So, seriously,
Speaker 3: how do you.
Speaker 8: Get ejected from a flight and then get back through security?
Speaker 8: How does that happen? Because aren't you on some list
Speaker 8: or something.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, she's just they said, look, you
Speaker 2: gotta get out of here. Go she said, hey, then.
Speaker 5: Turn around, walked over to the security again and went
Speaker 5: through again, got screened.
Speaker 2: Can I hear the original clip again? Because that's that's
Speaker 2: that's new to me, the whole He's not real, I'm telling.
Speaker 9: You, and there's a reason why.
Speaker 2: Can you either believe it or not believe it? How
Speaker 2: that I am telling you right now? There is no
Speaker 2: real and you can die it.
Speaker 1: Not I'm not.
Speaker 2: So Yeah, everybody's like, who's not real? Everybody back there
Speaker 2: looks real to me.
Speaker 8: And the Internet, my gosh, it's totally the Internet I
Speaker 8: signed up for. All these people were taking this video
Speaker 8: and splicing it. So with that, I'm ever right there,
Speaker 8: and then they turned the camera to themselves.
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm here is a good story. Oh boy,
Speaker 2: the poor lady. I'm glad you took a responsibility though. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was good.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah more John or Joe
Speaker 1: podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 3: Fancy Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast one more Thing.
Speaker 3: We do a new one every day. Find it wherever
Speaker 3: you find your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Before we get to.
Speaker 5: The great Tony Bennett National Treasure, I'm told this is
Speaker 5: Roger Waters of the Pink Floyd, as they were known
Speaker 5: in London, with a new version of his as from
Speaker 5: Dark Side of the Moon Money Michael.
Speaker 2: Money. Wow, you're right. It is kind of Leonard cohenesque.
Speaker 2: Good job with Moldy and you. Okay, that's a great song.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a weird version of it. You know,
Speaker 2: Roger Waters is ancient.
Speaker 1: And not snap.
Speaker 2: Can we just acknowledge that he sounds like he's going
Speaker 2: to kill me in my sleep?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: What is he going for?
Speaker 1: Cash?
Speaker 5: If you knew your politics, you probably would. Okay, I
Speaker 5: suppose that's enough of that. That's weirdly appealing. Honestly, Look,
Speaker 5: he's a brilliant artist. It's always been all kind of quirky.
Speaker 5: Now he's ancient, nuts. It doesn't diminish what he's done.
Speaker 5: I don't hate him for it. He's wrong about a
Speaker 5: lot of stuff. But you know, if you're a conservative
Speaker 5: and Jack, I'm sure or you'd agree, Katie, anybody if
Speaker 5: you eliminated all of your favorite creative artists because their
Speaker 5: politics were wacky, it would leave you with a fairly
Speaker 5: narrow range of things to listen to, right, Sure we
Speaker 5: should shut.
Speaker 2: Up about it though, Yeah, he could do that.
Speaker 5: Except for I guess country music is the bastion of
Speaker 5: at least some conservatism. I don't listen to much modern country.
Speaker 5: If you were to, like take a wild guest jacket,
Speaker 5: it's a political orientation like percentage wise or however you
Speaker 5: want to put on.
Speaker 3: Such as some musicians, I still would bet it's overwhelming
Speaker 3: left overwhelmingly left leaning.
Speaker 2: I would guess, hmmm, yeah, well, or do they just
Speaker 2: act like that so that they don't get canceled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they probably know you got to keep it to yourself.
Speaker 3: As the guitar player with Miranda Lambert, who voted for
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, I'm sure I don't know that, but I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you'd have to.
Speaker 2: Keep it to yourself. I'm sure you pick up on
Speaker 2: that pretty quickly.
Speaker 5: But a lot of those like pickup truck I'm my
Speaker 5: best girl by the lake drinking beer.
Speaker 2: That strikes me as kind of maga ish.
Speaker 5: I don't have any idea, Yeah, which is fine. When
Speaker 5: I was there in my pickup truck. I never had
Speaker 5: a pickup truck with my best girl by the lake.
Speaker 5: It may have been by the lake, it was by
Speaker 5: Lake Michigan drinking beer. Check and make it out, et cetera.
Speaker 5: It's funny our politics didn't come up, so who cares anyway?
Speaker 5: Speaking of ancient singers, the great Tony Bennett has passed.
Speaker 5: Perhaps you heard that five hundred times over rated. I
Speaker 5: thought he was fine, and he had a long career,
Speaker 5: and he had a really, really long career. It's like
Speaker 5: Tina Turner, who was amazingly talented, especially in her younger days,
Speaker 5: but it became one of those things where the longer
Speaker 5: she lived, Oh, she had a great story of courage
Speaker 5: and overcoming abuse in the rest of it. I'm not
Speaker 5: demeaning her as a person or a performer at all,
Speaker 5: but if you're around long enough, you.
Speaker 2: Get like this sainthood thing put on.
Speaker 3: Here's why I don't like Tony Bennett and Katie You're
Speaker 3: you're no enough to the show.
Speaker 2: You don't know.
Speaker 3: It's kind of my thing to say negative things about
Speaker 3: people who just passed. Okay, it really makes people angry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, wow, Jack too soon.
Speaker 6: I just beg him, let it take go by.
Speaker 2: But no, he's got to stick in the night.
Speaker 3: I don't know why that is. I just I need
Speaker 3: to point it out. The day they die, I just
Speaker 3: thought I just said it was so week Tony Bennett.
Speaker 3: You we know you left your heart in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: We've known that quirk quite a few decades. Just do something,
Speaker 3: do something else. Just quit quit with that all the time. Well,
Speaker 3: a lot of my favorite arts. You have a big
Speaker 3: hit when you're younger, and then you move on to
Speaker 3: completely different things, maybe like reinvent yourself completely, not just
Speaker 3: do the same freaking thing over and over and over
Speaker 3: every show you're ever on until you're too old.
Speaker 2: But walk what now? He became a painter. He is
Speaker 2: a pretty good painter. But good for him.
Speaker 5: Again, if you want to hear him horrible the old
Speaker 5: songs or team up with Lady Gaga, go ahead.
Speaker 2: It's just a whole.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Tony Bennett, Oh my god, he's such
Speaker 5: a such a legend. It's like he's a singer. It's fine,
Speaker 5: he's a good singer. But that's all he is. Was
Speaker 5: he a nice fella?
Speaker 2: Tell me about it?
Speaker 8: What do all these people that when there's a celebrity death,
Speaker 8: their day gets ruined like they personally knew them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty hard for me. That doesn't happen
Speaker 3: very often with me. What was I gonna say, what
Speaker 3: did he die from?
Speaker 2: Time? Yeah? Okay, being ancient, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: Michael tells us that, let's see this is a he
Speaker 5: was on the first Tonight Show episode.
Speaker 2: Let's hear that clip number five.
Speaker 10: There's one of the great singers in the world. I
Speaker 10: think Frank Sinan from Once said about Tony he is
Speaker 10: the greatest singer in the world. And he was a
Speaker 10: guest of mine on the very first show we did
Speaker 10: October one, nineteen sixty two out.
Speaker 2: Of New York, Johnny Robert remember the very first show, Yeah,
Speaker 2: very well. It was a great exciting night like tonight.
Speaker 10: It was, you know, you were on the show with
Speaker 10: the late Joan Crawford, Rudy Valley and mel Brooks.
Speaker 2: Bill Brooks. It was like a long time ago. It
Speaker 2: was a long time ago. And is uh six just
Speaker 2: part of that, Michael? Or is that different?
Speaker 6: I know it's different. Is Larry King?
Speaker 2: Oh y boy, I'm sorry it.
Speaker 11: Has I've gained four notes on the bottom and thank
Speaker 11: god I'm sixty six.
Speaker 2: But the top no losses on the time, the great
Speaker 2: Tony Bennett.
Speaker 3: We're gonna pause is to Benett the singer singers, So
Speaker 3: not to call him the best.
Speaker 2: I may he lived forever. That's interesting.
Speaker 3: So he got older and he got the ability to
Speaker 3: sing lower notes, but didn't lose any of us highend
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2: Good for good for him. He's a good singer. I've
Speaker 2: conceded that. Johnny Carson in nineteen sixty two. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: The only defense I can make of being like sad
Speaker 5: when a a celebrity passes, if you're especially I mean,
Speaker 5: if you really really admired them and thought they had
Speaker 5: more to do.
Speaker 2: And or that.
Speaker 5: It's just sometimes it's a slap in the face that
Speaker 5: reminds you of mortality right or in the third Although
Speaker 5: I tend not to like wallow around in nostalgias, just
Speaker 5: not the way I'm made, Although you know I have no.
Speaker 2: Right to, I guess criticize people who do.
Speaker 5: But sometimes it reminds you of what I was discussing
Speaker 5: with my daughter over the weekend.
Speaker 2: We had a bit of a family reunion.
Speaker 5: I talked on the air about my brother's retirement ceremony
Speaker 5: from the Navy, and my daughter was talking about going
Speaker 5: back to the town she grew up in and seeing
Speaker 5: that the park they used to hang up with hang
Speaker 5: out in rather is now surrounded by apartment buildings, and
Speaker 5: it used to be in that beautiful hillside is now
Speaker 5: a parking lot, and the past isn't there anymore, And
Speaker 5: sometimes you're reminded of that, and because you have this
Speaker 5: weird feeling that all you have to do is go
Speaker 5: back and visit it. Anybody who's ever gone to a
Speaker 5: class reunion knows that the past ain't there anymore.
Speaker 2: It's gone.
Speaker 5: And sometimes when one of your beloved you know, artists
Speaker 5: or creative artists or whatever from your youth goes, you realize,
Speaker 5: that's right.
Speaker 2: My youth is gone, and Nate coming back.
Speaker 3: Ever, can you come up with a celebrity whose death
Speaker 3: would affect you like really affect.
Speaker 2: Would or has either?
Speaker 5: When when Neil Pierre, the drummer from Rush and Lyricists died,
Speaker 5: I knew that band was dead forever and one of
Speaker 5: the great musicians ever on earth was gone, and I thought,
Speaker 5: oh crap.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like I was devastated. It was
Speaker 2: just sad. Oh crap.
Speaker 3: It's not the same as like like our old newsperson.
Speaker 3: She once said that if Madonna dies, I will have
Speaker 3: to take the next day off of work.
Speaker 8: Right, that's the reaction that I was kind of going with,
Speaker 8: like the people that go straight to the internet and
Speaker 8: post oh god, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not big on making a show of my
Speaker 5: grief either, but no, I don't think so. I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about my my musical heroes because they don't
Speaker 5: particularly give a damn about actors. I mean, they're really
Speaker 5: good at their jobs, but I don't think they're saints either. No,
Speaker 5: my greatest musical heroes, if they pass, I'll just be
Speaker 5: sad and think, you know, that's too bad.
Speaker 2: Who's what's the name of the you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Vern guy?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the one that hit me.
Speaker 5: Jim Varney, Ernest Great Jim Jim Arnest Arnest What Ernest?
Speaker 2: Was that his character?
Speaker 6: That's his character?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right right, the Great. Let me try this again.
Speaker 2: We can edit this in post.
Speaker 5: The Great Jim Ernest Varney. His passing was devastating.
Speaker 2: Can you come up with one Katie celebrity that would
Speaker 2: affect you?
Speaker 8: I think well, the one that the one that I
Speaker 8: really I was sad about was Robin Williams. That one
Speaker 8: was brutal, because I mean, I grew up my mom
Speaker 8: and I still do the Hello from Missus, doubtfire and.
Speaker 2: Stuf like that.
Speaker 8: So, I mean I grew up with those movies, that one,
Speaker 8: that one hit.
Speaker 5: Well, and he was young and his death was terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so on a human level, Yeah, Okay, I'm trying to
Speaker 5: think anybody else, I mean Jack, I mean if but
Speaker 5: that would be more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if you guys died, that would be
Speaker 2: a bummer on a number of levels, more of a
Speaker 2: practical one, difficulty.
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom has prayed for that, but has so far unfulfilled. Nope,
Speaker 5: I no, I would be sad, like if speaking of Rush,
Speaker 5: if geedty Lee died it was one of my greatest
Speaker 5: musical heroes, that would be very sad.
Speaker 2: But I'll go on. I'll still show up for work.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that does coincide with UH views of
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 3: I'll bet it does. I'll bet it does too. I mean,
Speaker 3: the other the flip side of it, sure sounds right,
Speaker 3: the lefty worship of well musicians and writers and actors,
Speaker 3: And you don't tend to if you're more conservative in
Speaker 3: your politics, you don't tend to worship these people in
Speaker 3: the first place. So you kind of have to worship
Speaker 3: in the first place, to have to get super busted
Speaker 3: up when they die.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, are you a rationalist or an emotionalist? And
Speaker 5: emotions are good and healthy, and obviously you need to
Speaker 5: be rational, But I think some people are one or
Speaker 5: the other. I've always said that. One of the reasons
Speaker 5: I'm so adamant about not letting emotionalists take over government
Speaker 5: and the Constitution and the courts and the rest of
Speaker 5: it is I'm enough of one to know how crazy
Speaker 5: that would be. If the rationalist part of us loses control,
Speaker 5: We're doomed. Like I always say, compassion without order is chaos.
Speaker 5: In order without compassion is brutality. We don't want to one.
Speaker 12: Of those Jack Armstrong and Joe I'm Strong and Getty show.
Speaker 3: Hey, well I'm Strong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast
Speaker 3: one more thing.
Speaker 4: Find it wherever you find all your podcasts.
Speaker 5: Used to be that the moron Nobody's of the world
Speaker 5: didn't have a TV studio, didn't have a broadcast tower,
Speaker 5: didn't have a distribution deal. But now everybody does, which
Speaker 5: is actually kind of entertaining at times. And some fabulous
Speaker 5: talent has you know, come to people's attention. On the
Speaker 5: other hand, you got your TikTok, where jackasses and freaks
Speaker 5: and weirdos of every description are sharing their freakyzoid weird
Speaker 5: onness with you. And often it's annoying, sometimes it's amusing,
Speaker 5: sometimes it's educational.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard this one yet, Michael has described it
Speaker 2: to us. Does it need any introduction?
Speaker 7: Really, Michael, Actually I'm not familiar with this clip or
Speaker 7: you're not.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, this is one of mine. Not really. She's
Speaker 2: just walking through a neighborhood running her mouth.
Speaker 5: And she's from Australia, apparently. All right, let's listen to it.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 9: There are too many American flags, Like they're in houses,
Speaker 9: they're on cars, some them on couch cushions. Like I
Speaker 9: don't know who's making these American flags, but they'd be
Speaker 9: making a bloody fortune. I'm like, you're the only country
Speaker 9: that I know that does this. Like the other time
Speaker 9: I think I've ever seen an Australian flag is like
Speaker 9: on the Harbor Bridge. I could not tell you what
Speaker 9: it looks like. Like, I know it's like blue and
Speaker 9: it's got some stars on it, but I think I
Speaker 9: could draw the American flag from memory, like, I think
Speaker 9: I could make a bloody sculpture out of it. That's
Speaker 9: how many times I've seen it. It's enough, let's pull
Speaker 9: back on it, Okay, let's stay humble.
Speaker 5: So I'm torn by twin impulses. Number one, you're an
Speaker 5: ignoran amus. You're the young twit with a TikTok account.
Speaker 5: Why would I dignify your stupidity with any sort of response.
Speaker 6: She got kicked in the head back kangaroo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well played, Michael. So that's one of my responses.
Speaker 5: And that's about run fifty to fifty with explaining to her, sweetheart,
Speaker 5: you're a commonwealth of the Crown and Australia has some
Speaker 5: reasonably enlightened twentyieth century Western ideas in it, and that's
Speaker 5: a nice enough country. There are problems with your governance,
Speaker 5: but I don't want to get into Australian politics, partly
Speaker 5: because I don't give.
Speaker 2: A But.
Speaker 5: What you need to understand, my Aussie darling, is that
Speaker 5: the United States is the first country ever formed not
Speaker 5: on a nationality like an actual you know, a community
Speaker 5: of people of the same origin or faith or whatever.
Speaker 5: It was founded on a set of ideas and it
Speaker 5: succeeded wildly and became the most important country maybe in
Speaker 5: the history of the world, the Roman Empire, notwithstanding they
Speaker 5: lasted for quite a while, but certainly in the modern era.
Speaker 5: And we're super duper proud of not only our success
Speaker 5: but our ideas. We feel like we've carved out a big,
Speaker 5: giant area where the worst of humanity can't do its worst.
Speaker 5: We're oppressors and kings and torturers and despots.
Speaker 2: We don't let them in here.
Speaker 5: We have a set of principles and we live by them,
Speaker 5: and everybody's got the opportunity to be happy and successful.
Speaker 5: Australia is great, but it's nothing close to what we're
Speaker 5: talking about. And I would suggest if people aren't like
Speaker 5: super proud of Australia, oh yeah, they're kind of just eh, well,
Speaker 5: that's kind of that's the answer that makes the question irrelevant.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't care? We do?
Speaker 5: Why don't you spend a couple of minutes figuring out
Speaker 5: why we all care so much? Why a lot of
Speaker 5: us care so much?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: And if you think about her mentality behind making that video,
Speaker 8: she obviously thought that she had a point, right, that
Speaker 8: she wanted to get out there. Yeah, my advice to her,
Speaker 8: don't use like every third word.
Speaker 2: Why does like America have like so many like bloody.
Speaker 8: Flags like like like like like like like I don't
Speaker 8: love ear blood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't want to call for the silencing of people
Speaker 5: in their teens and early twenties, certainly speaking of the
Speaker 5: principles by which we live here, First Amendment, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Woof. I mean, that's a high horse Joe.
Speaker 5: On the other hand, as I've said before, perhaps even
Speaker 5: in my own offspring, Okay, you just walked into the giant,
Speaker 5: vast shopping mall of ideas. You're literally in the lobby,
Speaker 5: and you're explaining to me what all the best ideas are.
Speaker 2: How about you walk.
Speaker 5: Around the mall for a few years, try some of
Speaker 5: those ideas, kick them around, see how they work out.
Speaker 2: Maybe even walk.
Speaker 5: To the other end of the mall and back before
Speaker 5: you start lecturing people who've lived in the mall for
Speaker 5: a long time.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. I like that a lot.
Speaker 5: Of course, the mall of Ideas is shut down because
Speaker 5: everybody's shopping for their ideas.
Speaker 2: Of the Internet.
Speaker 5: That Amazon, Yeah, exactly, exactly, so many bloody flags like
Speaker 5: Marxists shrimp on the Barbie eaten. I'm sorry, I should
Speaker 5: I apologize.
Speaker 8: Yeah, look at Australia, what do you guys have a
Speaker 8: lot of bloody spiders and bugs that make people not
Speaker 8: even want to visit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like literally, like the most animals like that can
Speaker 5: kill you, like of any country on like Earth. Seriously,
Speaker 5: look at the crocodile hunter r ip oh.
Speaker 2: I always hated him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I always hated the crocodile Dundee movies as well,
Speaker 7: remember those.
Speaker 2: By the way, have you seen his son?
Speaker 8: His son is a miniature version of him doing the
Speaker 8: exact same thing that his dad was doing. Total nature
Speaker 8: conservation and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But a twin. It's amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: They ran the daughter up the flagpole for a while
Speaker 5: and I don't know if she didn't catch on or
Speaker 5: didn't like it much or whatever, but yeah, the sun
Speaker 5: is the spitting image of the late dad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the daughter went off.
Speaker 8: She had she got married and had a family and whatnot,
Speaker 8: so she kind of went out of the limelight. But
Speaker 8: the son, Robert is his name, Oh, bloody amazing, like
Speaker 8: right with.
Speaker 2: His face right up next to some sort of pit
Speaker 2: viper and all shoes and it bites him. Go that's fun.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I wonder why that happened. Typical bossy. I'm
Speaker 5: back to being bitter
