Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Even I am tired of this now, so wake me
Speaker 2: when something real happens.
Speaker 1: But the Uranian Foreign.
Speaker 2: Ministry just put out there will be no permanent deal
Speaker 2: with the US until these clauses are fulfilled releasing Iran's
Speaker 2: frozen assets, US, issuing waivers for Indian war oil, et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera. They have stated there will be no deal
Speaker 2: to open the strait until they get their money.
Speaker 1: Trump and JD.
Speaker 2: Vans are still saying, you don't get your money until
Speaker 2: you open the straight and deal on the new clear stuff.
Speaker 1: So there is no.
Speaker 2: Deal that forty eight hours or whatever where the world
Speaker 2: pretended like there is, it was a deal.
Speaker 1: There is no deal.
Speaker 2: Israel and Hasbel are fighting each other as we speak.
Speaker 2: The strait is closed as we speak, and the main
Speaker 2: sticking both both sides.
Speaker 1: Are one hundred and eighty degrees apart. There is no deal.
Speaker 1: Mister President, mister President, mister President. Joe, Getty, Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty show my question, what are we doing here? What
Speaker 1: is this? I got it them. I can't even take
Speaker 1: it seriously. I know that's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Would you say we said something will happen between now
Speaker 2: and Friday that will break this thing down. Yeah, well yeah, true,
Speaker 2: truly they're honest to god, this seems like there is
Speaker 2: no deal. So whatever, as you were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I want to talk about Juneteenth a little
Speaker 1: bit in a couple of minutes. I know, even a
Speaker 1: during that name annoyed some of you. I want to
Speaker 1: explain to you why it shouldn't as much. But first,
Speaker 1: it's the beloved Friday tradition. Let's take a fun to
Speaker 1: look back at the week that was its cow clips
Speaker 1: of the week. You Randia that we made is going
Speaker 1: to bring me a lot of success to the world.
Speaker 1: We are prepared to release frozen funds. Your runs in
Speaker 1: charge to killers and thugs are still in charge. But
Speaker 1: isn't it worth trying?
Speaker 2: These fools who think I haven't been tough enough on
Speaker 2: Iran are either jealous, bad people, or stupid.
Speaker 1: It is common sense. They don't want to get bombed,
Speaker 1: They don't want to get hit. Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump is the only head of state in the entire
Speaker 3: world who is sympathetic.
Speaker 1: To the nation of Israel. At this moment in time,
Speaker 1: what have you learned about not just the exercise of power,
Speaker 1: but the limits on your power as a result of
Speaker 1: the conflict. There are no limits, no lim no not
Speaker 1: to get me. He's coming after my wife, Jen, a
Speaker 1: public servant. How are you lighting you up? Every single day?
Speaker 3: And now I don't have to worry about NBCNN viewers.
Speaker 1: It's more. The paradox of California today is a successful
Speaker 1: economy attached to a failing model of governance.
Speaker 2: The phrase I learned early in my career in the
Speaker 2: New York Field Office, and that's don't choke on your
Speaker 2: own smoke. Oh, there is no limit to how high
Speaker 2: we can go.
Speaker 1: Well, so balla, he's a man. I'm on right America.
Speaker 1: The most useful college majors now are foraging and hand
Speaker 1: to hand combat. So that means.
Speaker 2: Thirty equals six, which equals eight. You know it also
Speaker 2: equals eight four unrelated to equals six. Yes, it's basically
Speaker 2: a medical emergency.
Speaker 3: We were notified that we have a possible Equola case
Speaker 3: on board.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and cry. After fifty three years, the next.
Speaker 2: Are finally NBA champions looks again.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who have a lot of opinions,
Speaker 3: but when you prove them wrong, you really have to do.
Speaker 3: You have to say to them, I know your rights,
Speaker 3: and for the love of Mike, don't ever give them up.
Speaker 1: I'm Mike and I approved this message. Still, it's clips
Speaker 1: of the we take on the soccer ruse later today. Go,
Speaker 1: I don't think I can watch live. I really want to.
Speaker 1: I'm really into the American team. I get him, one
Speaker 1: of the guys, and he's probably not gonna play, but
Speaker 1: by god, I love him. I went ahead of in
Speaker 1: my country, I can't. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But well, we're running errands today, so we'll have the
Speaker 2: soccer match on as we drive around.
Speaker 1: I don't expect any score to happen. But well, some
Speaker 1: of the players you want to know about are the
Speaker 1: super great black guy with the longer curly hair, and
Speaker 1: the super great black guy who's got short hair, the
Speaker 1: white fella who's like crazy fast, and then the big guy.
Speaker 1: He's so good, really larger than most soccer players. And
Speaker 1: they're actually Americans. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, well yeah, and
Speaker 1: actually every interview I've heard they're they're great, earnest, patriotic
Speaker 1: kids who are playing hard and loving this experience and
Speaker 1: stuff really easy to root for. Plus they're my countrymen,
Speaker 1: and I'm a patriot, so I'm rooting for him. Damn right,
Speaker 1: You're damn right. And I want to talk about patriotism
Speaker 1: and June teenth and the bizarre stated progressive race politics
Speaker 1: at some point, at least briefly. But and you know what,
Speaker 1: I decided to save this till next week. I'm just
Speaker 1: working a couple of days next week than taking the
Speaker 1: longest vacation of our adult lives, my wife and mine,
Speaker 1: to celebrate our fortieth anniversary. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: about how the birthday of our nation must not be
Speaker 1: on either side about Trump or any individual, certainly not
Speaker 1: a politician, no matter how great or terrible you think
Speaker 1: he is. That that's bizarre, it's ridiculous. So anyway, God
Speaker 1: bless this great country.
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to shift my brain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from thinking about the around thing.
Speaker 2: Way from away from the I just I'm kind of
Speaker 2: flum mixed over the whole, the fact that it seems
Speaker 2: like it's completely We're exactly where we were Monday or Saturday,
Speaker 2: even a week ago. We've gone back a week Ivan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we're completely at We have no agreement whatsoever.
Speaker 1: M okay, yeah, we'll see what happens. I was reading
Speaker 1: yesterday about I'd forgotten about this because I just you know,
Speaker 1: you can't remember everything, can you. That's why you make notes,
Speaker 1: why I have books. I don't memorize all of it.
Speaker 1: It's in there. The plot against George Washington in June
Speaker 1: of seventeen seventy six, that's a good New York investigators
Speaker 1: uncovered a plot against George Washington and the Continental Army,
Speaker 1: and at the center of the plot was his very
Speaker 1: own life guard. It's like the equivalent of Secret Service
Speaker 1: at the time. He'd requested like elite guys from each
Speaker 1: of the regimental commanders to protect him and his papers
Speaker 1: and his command center and the rest of it. And
Speaker 1: a couple of them turned out to be uh, closeted
Speaker 1: loyalists and we're gonna snuff him. But they sniffed it out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Things that don't happen get lost to history more than
Speaker 2: they should, because oftentimes it came really close to happening
Speaker 2: and of altered you know, good god, how would that
Speaker 2: have altered things?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, at first, no one thought much of the news.
Speaker 1: The authorities had arrested two members of Washington's guard, Michael
Speaker 1: Lynch and Thomas Ikey May. Their names live in infamy
Speaker 1: for using counterfeited currency until a fellow prisoner named Isaac
Speaker 1: Ketcham testified in June of seventeen seventy six that he
Speaker 1: overheard the duo discussing plans to betray the Continental Army.
Speaker 2: If he hadn't overheard it, who knows what would happen.
Speaker 2: Book came out a few years ago. I remember talking
Speaker 2: about it at the time because it's really good. The
Speaker 2: first conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington, came
Speaker 2: out in twenty nineteen. Really interesting. It's a page turner.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the investigators was John Jay, none other
Speaker 1: than the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Later on,
Speaker 1: but I love this. This is straight out of like
Speaker 1: a Netflix series or something or Apple TV. As Jay
Speaker 1: and his committee said about investigating various leads, pointed to
Speaker 1: a tanner living in a swamp and a man without
Speaker 1: an arm soon to the New York Mayor himself, David Matthews.
Speaker 1: One in the morning, June twenty second, soldiers raided in
Speaker 1: the Mayor's house and took him into custody. Didn't take
Speaker 1: long to connect the plot to New York's loyalist Governor
Speaker 1: William Tryon, who had long since fled to a nearby
Speaker 1: British ship, but managed to keep up communication with tories
Speaker 1: in the city. So, oh, man, what would happen then
Speaker 1: they knocked off Washington? Yeah, and it's similar to Civil war.
Speaker 2: If you're a civil war buffy, you know the story
Speaker 2: of finding the cigar band with the battle plans in
Speaker 2: it that just happened to be found on the ground
Speaker 2: at a time when the war could have gone either way,
Speaker 2: might have been the difference maker in the Civil War?
Speaker 2: What would that have done to the country? You wouldn't
Speaker 2: think the fate of a country or a world could
Speaker 2: depend on these things, but it does not. Similar to
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump hadn't turned his head, how different would
Speaker 2: things have been over the last two years?
Speaker 1: Boy, I'd like to assemble some of the great historians
Speaker 1: and ask him. Because fairness, they were going to kidnap
Speaker 1: g dub They weren't gonna kill him. But if they
Speaker 1: kidnapped him as a hostage, what would the reaction? What
Speaker 1: was likely to have happened. What would the Continental Congress
Speaker 1: have done? Who would have assumed command of the military.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of guesses, But how would that
Speaker 1: have differed from Washington's command? Because Washington didn't win a
Speaker 1: lot of battles, as you know, amateur historians. No, he
Speaker 1: just kept the army in the field and listened to
Speaker 1: his super smart generals and kept us alive. What we
Speaker 1: waited for help grossover simplification, But ultimately only Hickey, who
Speaker 1: we mentioned, was hanged in orders announcing the sentence from
Speaker 1: Mutiny's edition and treachery. Washington urged his soldiers to learn
Speaker 1: from Hickey's mistakes, and this is the advice I want
Speaker 1: you to all to take away from this and avoid
Speaker 1: lewd women. Apparently it was some ha he who led
Speaker 1: Hickey astray and duped him into this plot. How many
Speaker 1: times I'm telling you, I'm telling you Eve Apple, Snake,
Speaker 1: et cetera place.
Speaker 2: My first roommate in college used to say, how many
Speaker 2: wars have been fought over that tiny little area of
Speaker 2: a woman's body?
Speaker 1: MM, who knows what? I'm confused, boy, this was a
Speaker 1: different sort of show. I would engage, but I'm not going.
Speaker 2: To you're going to explain Juneteenth to us. I have
Speaker 2: friends who are working government who have the day off today.
Speaker 2: I'm anti all of these days where government workers get
Speaker 2: off and the rest of us go to work.
Speaker 1: But it's ridiculous that it's a national holiday. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a cool day and it's a good reason to
Speaker 1: discuss something more important. Okay, what is Juneteenth? Among other things?
Speaker 1: On the waystay here.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this because I'll admit I'm not
Speaker 2: solid on my knowledge of what Juneteenth is, which is today,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wind our way there. Do you know who
Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony is not? The basketball player, the teenager who
Speaker 2: stabbed another team to death.
Speaker 1: Convicted a murder last week. I think it was sentenced
Speaker 1: to thirty five years in prison. The reaction to that
Speaker 1: has been completely insane, particularly among some people who push
Speaker 1: the sort of hateful, racist, militant Marxist brand of race relations.
Speaker 1: So Carmelo's black is victim, Austin Metcalf was white, and
Speaker 1: apparently the racial justice movement now just believes that any
Speaker 1: murder of a white kid should be legal. Here's Jasmine Crockett,
Speaker 1: sitting member of Congress, quote black women especially Black women
Speaker 1: who have black male children, live in fear and agony
Speaker 1: every single day, a fear and agony that I promise you,
Speaker 1: the Metcalfs that was the victim's name, probably never never
Speaker 1: spent a day living that way. So black women live
Speaker 1: in agony. That the Metcalfs whose son died bleeding out
Speaker 1: in his twin brother's arms, don't have to go through
Speaker 1: that agony. Okay, Later she doubled down. Carmelo decided to
Speaker 1: go under a tent and simply didn't want to be
Speaker 1: put out in the rain by some random kid that
Speaker 1: he didn't know. There was little to no mercy scene
Speaker 1: or humanity scene when this black boy said I was scared.
Speaker 1: Outside the courtroom, supporters of anthony gathered. One woman said, quote,
Speaker 1: what do you want us to do? At this point?
Speaker 1: I got five boys. I ain't got nothing to tell
Speaker 1: him no more. Tell him, don't stab anyone in the
Speaker 1: heart over a minor dispute, Tell him that don't use
Speaker 1: deadly violence to settle idiotic teen arguments. Start there anyway,
Speaker 1: It was in the midst of a lot of that militant, hateful,
Speaker 1: woke quote unquote social justice racial stuff that juneteenths became
Speaker 1: a national holiday, and a lot of people, including me,
Speaker 1: hate that stuff, just absolutely hate it. And the Biden
Speaker 1: cow towing desperately to a certain segment of Black America
Speaker 1: saying the next Supreme Court justice and be a black woman,
Speaker 1: and as veep would be a black woman, and the
Speaker 1: rest of it. So it all kind of has the
Speaker 1: stink of that period. And it's too bad, because it's
Speaker 1: really a cool day if you and you should take
Speaker 1: pride in the fact that we and the Brits effectively
Speaker 1: ended the global slave trade to the extent that we could.
Speaker 1: It's still going on today, but we certainly ended the
Speaker 1: transatlantic slave trade, and you know, various aspects of it.
Speaker 1: So June teenth is a blend of the word June
Speaker 1: and nineteenth because on June nineteenth and the mostly illiterate
Speaker 1: slaves of Galveston, Texas in that area didn't know they
Speaker 1: were free until two and a half years after the
Speaker 1: emancipation prop Wow, I didn't realize it was that long.
Speaker 1: Two and a half years. It's a horror.
Speaker 2: If you had to ask me, and I said, they
Speaker 2: didn't know for weeks that they had been emancipated, not.
Speaker 1: Two and a half years. Yeah, it's bad enough. So
Speaker 1: they had no idea. And when General Gordon Granger arrived
Speaker 1: in Galveston on June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, he read
Speaker 1: General Orders Number three, which officially declared that all enslaved
Speaker 1: people in Texas were free. And so these people found
Speaker 1: out they were free, and that effectively ended slavery for
Speaker 1: good in the United States. Which you could argue that
Speaker 1: the Emancipation Proclamation date, if we're going to have a holiday,
Speaker 1: that'd be a better date or whatever, and that's fine,
Speaker 1: we can have that discussion. But today slavery really came
Speaker 1: to an end for effing good in the US. Is
Speaker 1: a day worth celebrating, and it's unfortunate that it carries
Speaker 1: with it the stink of Marxist, divisive, hateful race politics.
Speaker 2: It is kind of interesting that Juneteenth became a federal holiday,
Speaker 2: but the date of the Emancipation Proclamation did not already
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 1: Sure well, partly I think because Lincoln's birthday was a
Speaker 1: holiday and he was hailed for you know that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, which reminds me. And there are great books
Speaker 1: you can read about this, or just ask Tim sand
Speaker 1: For some day. The founding fathers were absolutely, one hundred
Speaker 1: percent acutely aware of the contradiction between we hold these
Speaker 1: truths to be self evident that all men are created
Speaker 1: equal and the fact that they were slaves. Thomas Jefferson
Speaker 1: was enormously pained by that. Now was he could he
Speaker 1: have done better and freed the slaves? Blah? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: but people act like that would just have been effortless
Speaker 1: to end slavery in the New World when it existed
Speaker 1: all over the world at that time. They knew one
Speaker 1: hundred percent they'd put themselves in a terrible fix and
Speaker 1: working it out would take a while and be paid.
Speaker 1: But if anybody ever claims otherwise, they are a liar.
Speaker 1: There's more breaking news around the war with Iran. Washington
Speaker 1: Post has an exclusive that just landed a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2: The war is not over even close. We've accomplished nothing
Speaker 2: this week? Is that about the MoU forget.
Speaker 1: It, Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 2: Winding moments of the week in the summertime officially becomes
Speaker 2: summer this weekend with Father's Day on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Indeed, Yeah, Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
Speaker 1: Speaking of parenthood, what a pleasure it is to welcome
Speaker 1: back to the show Katie Green, Katie, Katie the mommy
Speaker 1: lady who has a new daty. Hey Katie, Hey.
Speaker 3: Guys, happy Father's day ahead of time.

Speaker 3: a new milestone this morning. I know they can't really
Speaker 3: see a whole lot yet. He's five weeks as of
Speaker 3: two day. But when I'm looking at him and smiling,
Speaker 3: he is smiling back. Oh, and I am a puddle.
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, yes, five and a half weeks already. Wow.
Speaker 1: Time goes by fast for other people's babies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was, I was telling my mom. I was like,
Speaker 3: this has been the longest and shortest five weeks of
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, isn't that wild? That's the way.
Speaker 1: And he's doing go ahead.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I was just saying, he's doing great. He's
Speaker 3: gaining weight finally, and we're a happy little family over here.
Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that, because I don't remember that
Speaker 2: it started right away, but so the entire parenting experience then,
Speaker 2: apparently from day one is it's the longest and shortest,
Speaker 2: both because the whole thing is that hey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hours drag in the years fly. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Wow, all right, glad to hear his gain
Speaker 1: and wait, I'll wait till he left as oh my god,
Speaker 1: a baby.
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Well right now when he when he poops,
Speaker 3: he does this thing at the end like me, So.
Speaker 2: I always do that. Do you hear me in the
Speaker 2: still next day? I'm laughing, I'm a laugh right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. So you sent the crew a great picture
Speaker 1: of you and Drew and the babe together. How's how's
Speaker 1: Drew loving being a dad? Oh?
Speaker 3: He's he's so. I mean, he's just as obviously in
Speaker 3: love as I am.
Speaker 1: But he's such a great dad.
Speaker 3: You know. It's like you, you know, you marry someone,
Speaker 3: you're in love with that person, and then they go
Speaker 3: and do something that makes you fall in love with
Speaker 3: them all over again. Watching him become a dad has
Speaker 3: done that.
Speaker 1: AND's day.

Speaker 1: to that. Obviously.
Speaker 2: What does what does a baby start eating anything? As
Speaker 2: I don't remember you forget all this stuff. When does
Speaker 2: a baby start eating anything other than mom's milk? When
Speaker 2: does that happen?
Speaker 3: I think like six months the roost. I'll have to
Speaker 3: yeah toally roastb sandwiches, you know what, first one pastrawmi sandwich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm bringing a kid up right. Oh you know,
Speaker 1: I was just reading Katie and god, dang it, this
Speaker 1: is so obvious. The the whole peanut allergy thing and
Speaker 1: egg allergy thing and so many allergies and are because
Speaker 1: the kid didn't get exposed to it. The whole oh
Speaker 1: don't give your kid this, and don't do that, and
Speaker 1: don't let him play on the floor, and you've got
Speaker 1: to keep them perfectly clean all the time. They were
Speaker 1: one hundred percent wrong about all of it.
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, no one kid get a game. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're we're not playing that game. He's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 3: be very exposed to ever he already has been. I'm
Speaker 3: I'm in I'm in a mom's group on Facebook and
Speaker 3: it's it's called May six Babies, so it's obviously all
Speaker 3: the babies that were born in the month of May.
Speaker 3: And one woman posted yesterday, Hey, when are we allowed
Speaker 3: to start taking.
Speaker 1: Our kids out?
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, Van's been going out since
Speaker 3: he was ten days old. We're not, you know, it's
Speaker 3: not We're not. I'm not going to live in fear
Speaker 3: with him, and he's going to eat all the food.
Speaker 3: He will not be a picky eater. And you know
Speaker 3: he's he's gonna he's gonna be he's gonna be all good.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever heard this story, because
Speaker 2: this happened years before you started with us, because I mean,
Speaker 2: I certainly went about as far as you want to
Speaker 2: go in terms of exposing your kid to germs. As
Speaker 2: one of my kids and I don't remember which one.
Speaker 2: At this point, he goes into the bathroom with me
Speaker 2: at Target. He's very small, very small, but obviously big
Speaker 2: enough to walk, but maybe like two or something. I'm
Speaker 2: using a urinal and when I turn around, he's down
Speaker 2: on his hands and he's licking the drain in the
Speaker 2: target bath room. For the love of God, yea, licking
Speaker 2: the drain where they washed down everything, the chemicals and
Speaker 2: everything else in the target bathroom.
Speaker 1: Worse Walmart, Walmart.
Speaker 3: Woh, well, so what did you do?
Speaker 2: I mean, street like a lunatic.
Speaker 1: Girlimed, Oh my god, but everything's been fun.
Speaker 2: And then one time Sam, Joe and I were speaking
Speaker 2: at the Capitol in Sacramento. The Big Capital must have
Speaker 2: been tea party or something, probably was around twenty ten,
Speaker 2: because anyway, Sam picked up some what I call bum gum.
Speaker 2: He found some gum on the sidewalk and a lung
Speaker 2: well bum probably, and was chewing bum gum. There's different
Speaker 2: ways to expose your kid to germs.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I don't plan on either one of those,
Speaker 3: but he'll he'll get his fast share, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yes, societies that like have barnyard animals walking in and
Speaker 1: out of their houses, allergies are completely unknown and the
Speaker 1: kids have immune systems like crazy. So get a couple
Speaker 1: indoor goats. That's the key to a long healthy life.
Speaker 1: And remember a kid who doesn't have a job by
Speaker 1: age eight is probably going to be a boomerang kid.
Speaker 1: So get that kid.
Speaker 3: Please tell, please, tell Drew that I need to go.
Speaker 1: Please. Oh God, you have a baby, but what's a
Speaker 1: baby goat? Come on, you know, a kid without a
Speaker 1: kid is no kid at all or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, you're the god expert around here.
Speaker 1: I'll let you rule on that. Well. I'm glad everything's
Speaker 1: going so well.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic and we appreciate you checking in.
Speaker 1: Definitely. Yeah, say hey to the family.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, hey, real quick, kay, I will and oh yes, Michael. No.
Speaker 1: I just want to know how when you take him
Speaker 1: on public, how are people reacting to him? It constantly
Speaker 1: people coming up to you.
Speaker 3: He's a chick magnet. All the ladies, I mean, so like,
Speaker 3: you know, young girls, oh my god, riz, and then
Speaker 3: he's got the RIZ and then the older ladies come
Speaker 3: up and they love him. But the only thing is
Speaker 3: is that they all want to touch him. And I'm
Speaker 3: kind of like.
Speaker 1: One, Yeah, I'm sure goats wandering in and out, but
Speaker 1: not strangers touching on my kid. Hands off there right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, goats over strangers every day without a doubt, but
Speaker 3: he he's great in public and everybody. Everybody just loves him,
Speaker 3: and we take him to dinner, we take him everywhere,
Speaker 3: and he's just he's a peaceful little guy.
Speaker 1: There will come a day, Katie. It's more for dudes,
Speaker 1: I think than women, But there will come a day
Speaker 1: when someone will hand you their baby and you'll be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, do I remember how to do this?
Speaker 1: Believe it or.
Speaker 3: Not, I'm watching that happen with my parents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it takes about three seconds. Then you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to be really good at this, used to
Speaker 1: hand while I was cooking. Yeah.
Speaker 3: My favorite thing is my mom with my dad right
Speaker 3: now because my dad hold him like, which is how
Speaker 3: he used to hold me and my mom just he's
Speaker 3: gonna get a crick in his neck. Stop holding him like.
Speaker 1: It's all about baby security. You gotta hold him tight, right,
Speaker 1: Katie Gates to talk to you and stay in touch.
Speaker 3: All right, Absolutely, you guys. I miss you, And happy
Speaker 3: Father's Day again.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks hay to the family. Cool Katie, Katie
Speaker 1: the baby lady five and a half weeks already. I'm
Speaker 1: astounded by that.
Speaker 2: I know other people's babies go by really fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hardly feel like I know the kid well.
Speaker 1: Vandam man. There's just no.
Speaker 2: Amount of words that can explain how your life changes
Speaker 2: and your psychology changes and everything around having going from
Speaker 2: non parents parents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Happy Father's Day to all the dad's and all
Speaker 1: the mom don't you know what I'm talking about day?
Speaker 2: As far as I can tell, you don't hear near
Speaker 2: as much about Father's Day as you do Mother's Day. Boy,
Speaker 2: I was just rereading some of the statistics about if
Speaker 2: a kid grows up without a dad in the home,
Speaker 2: you know, quadruple.
Speaker 1: Is likely to be poor. Oh, go to prison, you know,
Speaker 1: all sorts of become addicted to drugs. It's it's it's terrible.
Speaker 2: The most interesting article I read about Father's Day the
Speaker 2: other day was just how many men are choosing not
Speaker 2: to become a father at all, right, more than ever
Speaker 2: in history. And that's its own thing that we've talked
Speaker 2: about a lot, But just all that thing I just
Speaker 2: mentioned about the number of changes that happened to you
Speaker 2: and your your view of the world and the chemistry
Speaker 2: and your brain and everything like that, Millions upon millions
Speaker 2: of people are deciding I'm not gonna get.
Speaker 1: Involved in that, right.
Speaker 2: Kind of an interesting experiment for the planet, though it
Speaker 2: is utterly fundamental to the human experience anyway.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. I had something else to say,
Speaker 1: but it flitted out of my mind because I'm old
Speaker 1: and no longer of child bearing years. Unless I'm like
Speaker 1: a Hollywood star, then I'd go ahead and knock a
Speaker 1: few out, or a rock star too, Mick Jagger.
Speaker 2: There is a little bit of breaking news which I
Speaker 2: will keep short. Have a little something around the soccer matches.
Speaker 2: We take on the soccer ruse today, the United States
Speaker 2: versus Australia. We need to beat them.
Speaker 1: We should beat them, right, we're ranked higher than they are.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't remember. I think we are.
Speaker 1: I'll look that up. They're very defensive minded. The Aussies
Speaker 1: jack six to eleven behind the ball. Oh I'm telling
Speaker 1: you the expression I heard the other day. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll finish strong next.
Speaker 1: How don't I really dumb this down?
Speaker 2: For those of you who are like me who know
Speaker 2: nothing about World Cup soccer and don't watch every four years,
Speaker 2: and it's the world's biggest sporting event, but I've never
Speaker 2: paid at ten to it in my life.
Speaker 1: And I lacked superior because I know a little bit
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: So forty eight teams in the tournament totally start and
Speaker 2: then you play these various games to try to get
Speaker 2: to the knockout round, and that includes the final thirty two.
Speaker 2: So they're eliminating sixteen teams, so it'll go from forty
Speaker 2: eight to thirty two. We don't have to beat Australia
Speaker 2: today to make the final thirty two, having won our
Speaker 2: first game. If we would win that third game against Turkey,
Speaker 2: we would most likely make it into the final thirty two.
Speaker 1: It'd be nice to beat Australia today.
Speaker 2: Then we're almost guaranteed pretty much to make the single.
Speaker 1: Elimination round of thirty two.
Speaker 2: When you get to the thirty two, it's like March
Speaker 2: Madness for college basketball one and done.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just single elimination.
Speaker 2: Which just you know, makes is both fun and unfair
Speaker 2: because you know, you can have a great team with
Speaker 2: an off day and a mediocre team with a great day,
Speaker 2: and if you played one hundred times, you wouldn't get
Speaker 2: that result again.
Speaker 1: But it's part of what makes it so exciting, right,
Speaker 1: bad break, bad call, whatever, Yeah, it can happen, but
Speaker 1: that also brings unbelievable intensity to every game.
Speaker 2: We are the sixteenth ranked team in this tournament. Australia
Speaker 2: is twenty seven. As it says here, it's you know,
Speaker 2: so we are expected to win. We have like a
Speaker 2: sixty five percent chans of winning on paper.
Speaker 1: But expect it to be a close.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't be a blowout either way, And a lot of
Speaker 2: it has to do with whether Christian Pulasak Pulisik Pulasak
Speaker 2: yeah plays or not.
Speaker 1: He's one of our better players.
Speaker 2: He's hurt. We don't know, I think as of this moment,
Speaker 2: whether or not he's going to play. If he doesn't play,
Speaker 2: the gap narrows a lot between US and Australia, So
Speaker 2: that's something to pay attention to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was reading about the guys who are probably
Speaker 1: gonna take up the slack and how one in particular
Speaker 1: is really really super good. He's been down last couple
Speaker 1: of years, blah blah blah. So we'll say that that's
Speaker 1: why they play the games, as the cliche goes, should
Speaker 1: be exciting.
Speaker 2: And how many goals you win by matters in this
Speaker 2: bored like. Yeah, speaking of March Madness, it doesn't matter
Speaker 2: whether you win by one or blow a team out
Speaker 2: by fifty. It just doesn't matter. But it does in soccer.
Speaker 2: And the fact that we won that first one against
Speaker 2: Paraguay four to one is why even with a loss today,
Speaker 2: we'll probably.
Speaker 1: Make it into the knockout round. Yeah, they in the
Speaker 1: preliminary because the difference, obviously with March Madness is you
Speaker 1: have a giant play in tournament to figure out who's
Speaker 1: in June Madness, and yeah, goals, goal differential breaks, ties
Speaker 1: and that.
Speaker 2: Sort of thing, and then that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah. But then Sassis, for what it's worth, are
Speaker 1: very defensive minded. They're counter punchers, so they're very difficult
Speaker 1: to score against. But who knows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know anything about the strategy of soccer
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 1: I try to put the ball in the back of
Speaker 1: the goal, jack anything anything else is just details.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that almost never happens, sees the thing.
Speaker 1: If that happens, to focus on it, you idiot.
Speaker 2: If it's going to happen once over a ninety minute period,
Speaker 2: I don't know what to focus on the rest of
Speaker 2: the time. It's like watching soccer is like looking at
Speaker 2: a Jackson Pollock painting. For me, it's just.
Speaker 1: Number one. You got to get the ball close enough
Speaker 1: to the goal to put it in the back of
Speaker 1: the hole. That's like all the effort.
Speaker 2: Hey, kids, it's that time again.
Speaker 1: With Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Here's your hose for final fus Joe Getty, how's your spacing?
Speaker 1: Work on your spacing? All right, let's get a final
Speaker 1: thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up
Speaker 1: for the day. Michael Lane's low in the control room,
Speaker 1: pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thought? Yeah, just
Speaker 1: a great job to every dad out there working hard
Speaker 1: to raise their kids, and uh, you are very much appreciated.
Speaker 1: So have a wonderful Father's Day weekend. Here here, uh
Speaker 1: jack a final thought for us. Yeah, I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: go this direction, but yeah, Father's Day.
Speaker 2: All it means to me is just a reminder that, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm a father, and I can't imagine my life if
Speaker 2: I weren't. I mean, I literally cannot imagine what my
Speaker 2: life would be or why would.
Speaker 1: Get up in the morning if I want my father?
Speaker 1: That's just me personal boy. If you know everybody's dad
Speaker 1: was imperfect. It sure helps you forgive whatever shortcomings, whatever
Speaker 1: dad might have had to you realize it's harder than
Speaker 1: it looks. Oh, my god. Yeah, and kids and dads rather.
Speaker 1: I know you know this already, but my god, enjoy
Speaker 1: your kids while while they're in the house, because they
Speaker 1: will go away if you're lucky, don't know, and then
Speaker 1: they turn on you as rotten vests. Armstrong in Getty
