Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty,
Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Getty. I got a text yesterday
Speaker 1: from a friend who works in the federal government locally,
Speaker 1: and they were at a little meeting and one dude said,
Speaker 1: we're going from a very touchy feely, caring administration who
Speaker 1: cares about people to a very millanitted administration with teary eyes.
Speaker 1: This guy said this in the government, I.
Speaker 2: Guess you developed the discipline it takes not to guffaw
Speaker 2: in that line.
Speaker 1: Are you serious, dude? I would, I would literally guffaw.
Speaker 1: I would are those tears in your eyes? Seriously?
Speaker 2: I'm not practiced in the art of going along to
Speaker 2: get along?
Speaker 1: Thank God. How about the people that have moved. Ellen
Speaker 1: Degenerous and port Darassi actually moved to Great Britain. Richard
Speaker 1: gear has actually moved. There's a couple other examples. I
Speaker 1: have the notes on them, but the actually have moved,
Speaker 1: at least briefly. Maybe they end up coming back in
Speaker 1: a week.
Speaker 2: Well A, they have the finances to have a house
Speaker 2: on every continent on Earth, right and B think of
Speaker 2: think of the praise and approval that rains down on
Speaker 2: them from their peers for doing that.
Speaker 1: But what is your specific reason for moving?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I see you've kind of leaped ahead and
Speaker 2: made your point. It's a rhetorical question, because the literal
Speaker 2: answer to the question was, well, under a Nazi regime
Speaker 2: where women's rights are taken away and gay people are
Speaker 2: under attack and black people blah blah something something slavery,
Speaker 2: which is alldiculous. That's all imagined.
Speaker 1: I know. We got to get well, let's let's do
Speaker 1: our Let's do cow first, and then I got some
Speaker 1: follow up on some of that stuff that I find
Speaker 1: hilarious and confusing.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, do I. But first let's take von look back.
Speaker 1: At the week that was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 1: It's increasingly clear it is Donald Trump's world and we're
Speaker 1: just living in it. It's always how many comes here?
Speaker 1: But yeah, how many wrongs? Now that he's depressident?
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my god, I am very fastly picking the
Speaker 3: most epic cabinet of all time. Who are you thinking about? Well,
Speaker 3: we've got Elon and Matt Gates. That's an alien versus predator.
Speaker 2: The Gates listen to what the senators had to say.
Speaker 1: Great day momentum for the Trump Van's administration. I prefer
Speaker 1: to call it fun fueled camaraderie. You have this stunning reversal.
Speaker 1: It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distruction.
Speaker 4: A woman told authorities he cornered her in a hotel room.
Speaker 4: Except denied the allegations and told police what happened in
Speaker 4: the hotel that night was consensual.
Speaker 2: Joe and I went to mar A Lago to meet
Speaker 2: personally with President elect Trump.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we He's killing us? Can we cook the crap? Ear?
Speaker 1: I mean, frankly, it's been a week of escalation. Ukraine
Speaker 1: firing the first American made long range missiles into Russia
Speaker 1: that that could now trigger a nuclear response.
Speaker 2: You great initially saying was an ICBM striker.
Speaker 1: This trial is seen as the most significant sign of
Speaker 1: Beijing tightening its control of Hong Kong. My brother and
Speaker 1: I are professional actors, and we thought, oh, this is
Speaker 1: our introduction into Hollywood. He still owes us five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars that actually we go further in our book that
Speaker 1: we just release bigger than Jesse. Everything's cutting up in
Speaker 1: the house. Is there anything do they like shellacks? Praise?
Speaker 1: Shellac in the banana is not something we need?
Speaker 3: We need Justiceter, Peter, And then he hit him with
Speaker 3: her right along Tyson coming forward, but Paul's landing the
Speaker 3: cleaner effective watch it?
Speaker 1: How are you kidding me? She ended up watching the
Speaker 1: Tyson fight right long after you knew the result. How
Speaker 1: about that argument that went on because I know a
Speaker 1: lot of you watched it, sixty two million people watch.
Speaker 1: How about that never ending argument about him biting his
Speaker 1: glove and Roy Jones Junior saying something wrong with this mouthpiece,
Speaker 1: something wrong his mouth I've never seen this before. And
Speaker 1: the announcer was saying he's always done this his whole career,
Speaker 1: and and then they interviewed Tyson after fighting. Tyson says, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always done that my whole career. Yeah, that's just
Speaker 1: an odd, nonsensical Why are you biting your glove? And
Speaker 1: Tyson said, I've always done that. I have an oral
Speaker 1: fixation about biting things as a joke, he said that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, whatever, very clever.
Speaker 5: So, miss Katie, there's a video going around right now
Speaker 5: right of Mike Tyson having a clear open right cross
Speaker 5: and then he pulls his glove back, and so everybody's
Speaker 5: saying this was staged.
Speaker 1: This was totally staged for some reason. Ding Now, he's
Speaker 1: an old man who was super tired. But it's possible
Speaker 1: they decided although he took some pretty serious shots to
Speaker 1: the face. I mean, if they had an agreement of
Speaker 1: nobody knocks anybody out, he took some pretty big blows
Speaker 1: to his face where his face was all squished up.
Speaker 2: Well, Jack, you're going back to my years in the
Speaker 2: sweet science, both as a fighter and a trainer. I
Speaker 2: would tell you this, if if you had an agreement
Speaker 2: with a guy, look, we're gonna get paid, We're not
Speaker 2: going to hurt each other, you'd absolutely have a You
Speaker 2: would box, but it's hard to hurt somebody in boxing.
Speaker 2: If you do, you generally win, and it takes a
Speaker 2: long time to like get land enough blows, So you'd
Speaker 2: have a signal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 2: Really you got me with that one, Give me a second.
Speaker 2: That'd be easy to pull off.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I keep thinking about that fight right before, of those
Speaker 1: two women beaten the crap out of each other.
Speaker 2: There were more punches exchanged per minute in that than
Speaker 2: virtually any fight I've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, and fixed ah,
Speaker 2: you know, just a thought, one more follow up thought
Speaker 2: that fabulous rich lowry piece that you were just talking about,
Speaker 2: and hell, read the whole thing if you want to
Speaker 2: scratching me where I h about how all of us,
Speaker 2: a lot of us are are whispering these conversations about
Speaker 2: things we all agree on, like the vast majority of
Speaker 2: people agree on what the heck happened at the girls
Speaker 2: track meet a boy one four events?
Speaker 1: But you got a whisper to make sure nobody says
Speaker 1: here's you're talking about it.
Speaker 2: That is exactly That's a more eloquent, subtle other side
Speaker 2: of the coinway of what I'm talking about When I say,
Speaker 2: cut the crap.
Speaker 1: We all agree this is crazy.
Speaker 2: We're being bullied and silenced by activist lunatics with no
Speaker 2: grasp of reality. Do I want to hurt somebody or
Speaker 2: humiliate someone because they're quote unquote transgender or transsexual might
Speaker 2: preferred term because the word gender exists only to confuse
Speaker 2: the issue.
Speaker 1: No, of course not. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
Speaker 2: But we got to cut the crap and don't be
Speaker 2: forced into either saying things. You know, not to be
Speaker 2: true or forced into silence when you are actually outraged
Speaker 2: at what you are seeing. Anyway, Thank you Rich, beautifully written.
Speaker 1: Get to Cut the Crap t shirt at Armstrong and
Speaker 1: getty dot Com a couple of news items that fit
Speaker 1: in with that very framework Joe was talking about. Trump
Speaker 1: gained ninety five thousand votes in New York City while
Speaker 1: the Democrats lost half a million. To your point, there
Speaker 1: are way more regular normal people, even Democrats, who are
Speaker 1: saying cut the crap, with Trump gaining that many votes
Speaker 1: votes and Harris losing that many votes even in blue,
Speaker 1: blue Blue New York. Also, John Stewart on a podcast
Speaker 1: the other day talking about the Meeker Brazinski Joe Scarborough
Speaker 1: going down tomorrow lago thing they beent the knee jack
Speaker 1: there bunch, you show business phonies. It doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: they do well. He talked about how they described it
Speaker 1: as a combination of Hitler and Mussolini for four hours
Speaker 1: every day for eight years, and then as soon as
Speaker 1: he wins they go down and visit him, and John
Speaker 1: Stewart said, I thought that was one of the more
Speaker 1: remarkable switches gears, but it shows the performative nature of
Speaker 1: so much of all this s, which is again when
Speaker 1: you talk about credibility, he cringes at the thought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's performative, which I'm happy to have another generation of
Speaker 1: young people realize they're just putting on a show. They
Speaker 1: don't mean any of the stuff they say. So right,
Speaker 1: don't get too worked ue. Here's another here's an example
Speaker 1: of something where somebody's putting on a show. The Democratic
Speaker 1: mayor of Denver, Colorado's Mike Johnston, has challenged Trump to
Speaker 1: try to deport any illegal immigrants from this city. I
Speaker 1: will deploy the Denver City Police. No you won't. Now
Speaker 1: you won't, and even if you tried, you couldn't because
Speaker 1: that's not the way it works. The Denver City Police
Speaker 1: don't get to decide who's in this country. That's not
Speaker 1: the way it's structured. It's a federal issue to deploy
Speaker 1: them to do what exactly, mikey, right, But so that
Speaker 1: cut the crap. I mean, you're you're it's performative one.
Speaker 1: Performative s is what that is what Johnstra was just
Speaker 1: talking about, here's crap, it's crap, it's crap. And because
Speaker 1: so many people realized after watching MSNBC through the Trump
Speaker 1: years that, Oh you don't really mean that. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: well I'm not watching you anymore. As their ratings have
Speaker 1: absolutely tanked Rachel and they might go away, actually completely.
Speaker 1: But MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who's really their star player. They
Speaker 1: called her the viagra of ratings for the network. She's taken, ironically,
Speaker 1: she's taken a five million dollar pay cup per year.
Speaker 1: They're decreasing her salary by five million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize she's currently making thirty million a year, Rachel,
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year. She's gonna go down to
Speaker 1: twenty five million. I hope she can get by.
Speaker 2: I had not fully realized the incredible a gravy train
Speaker 2: that a lot of their people were on and be
Speaker 2: how miserable their ratings are and how I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's not like swirling the drain, it's it's plunging off
Speaker 2: a cliff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, their ratings were better before the election, but they
Speaker 1: still were not that good. I don't know how I mean.
Speaker 1: The other day Morning Joe had seventy five thousand viewers
Speaker 1: nationwide in demo seventy five thousand. Joe and I are
Speaker 1: in the advertising business. We know how many viewers listeners
Speaker 1: equal how much money. We have an idea of that.
Speaker 1: There's no way you have salaries at a station that are,
Speaker 1: you know, in the eight figures when you get seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand people doing it in I don't know how
Speaker 1: the math works in demo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of that may be a little overstated, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I've actually got a rundown of who's making what over
Speaker 2: there and how incredibly unsustainable it is. It may not
Speaker 2: exist in two years, or it'll exist in the same
Speaker 2: way that I don't know. You know, what are your
Speaker 2: super obscure, your fourth tier shopping networks exist?
Speaker 1: Well, good, that'd be one of the best things that
Speaker 1: could happen in the country. I don't care if you
Speaker 1: put on another liberal news network, but I mean they're
Speaker 1: flat out racist liars on most of those shows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're doing whole sell damage every single damn day, and
Speaker 1: we go, we got a lot to get to this
Speaker 1: hour or last hour of the week before we take
Speaker 1: a week's vacation. Stay with us, rednecks, Dude, They'll have
Speaker 1: the worst life. Be happy as hell.
Speaker 6: I've had conversations almost exactly like this. I just beg
Speaker 6: miss Hayes, I haven't seen you in forever, and their
Speaker 6: rednecks give you the past six months with a smile.
Speaker 1: Just be like. Oh, I was on.
Speaker 6: Top of the trailer right taking the Christmas lights down.
Speaker 1: I trip, I fall, I break my damn neck. Okay,
Speaker 1: they take me to the hospital.
Speaker 6: While I'm at the hospital, found out my husband was
Speaker 6: at Hussy down the street, Brenda, you know that bitch
Speaker 6: at the bank.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And my daughter, Abigail, she got a divorce right, lost
Speaker 6: custy of the kids in the divorce.
Speaker 1: So when they were coming.
Speaker 6: To pick up the kids, they hit the damn dog
Speaker 6: in the driveway, killed it. But I am blessed, man,
Speaker 6: I'm blessed, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: The Lord gave me another day, you know, don'ts oh man?
Speaker 2: That's really funny. Rocky Dale Davis is I don't know
Speaker 2: his work. I got to seek it out. So yeah,
Speaker 2: MSNBC is dying.
Speaker 1: Boo hoo.
Speaker 2: And Andrew Styles at the Free Beacon, hilarious guy. But
Speaker 2: he's running down the various personalities and what they make.
Speaker 2: As mentioned previously, Rachel modeou thirty million dollars and his
Speaker 2: bullet points on her quote intellectual Russia fixation, one day
Speaker 2: work week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that thirty million dollars is working Monday only? Whoa
Speaker 1: hosting every big event? So she'd host every uh and
Speaker 1: I think that's where that she's really making her money,
Speaker 1: you know, the after a debate, the all day election,
Speaker 1: just anything like that. Yeah, she's a host.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's see, that's some good sarcasm. But we'll
Speaker 2: move on. Joe and Mika co host lovers ratings. Chasers
Speaker 2: met with Hitler in their salaries are said to be
Speaker 2: madow esque, but nobody's quite.
Speaker 1: Sure really, so even in the conversation of thirty million,
Speaker 1: if it's half bad for the both of them.
Speaker 3: Whoo.
Speaker 2: A former GOP congressman who sponsored a resolution in the
Speaker 2: year two thousand condemning Al Sharpton for his vicious verbal
Speaker 2: anti Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 2: Scarborough routinely invites Sharpton on a show to discuss a
Speaker 2: range of issues, including anti Semitism. Speaking of al shit,
Speaker 2: you know, the Reverend Al Sharpton. Yes.
Speaker 1: So. Matt Gates has been elected multiple times in his
Speaker 1: district because his crowd likes the kind of guy he
Speaker 1: is that's Scarborough's old district, So that's that isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1: And he has gone that far to please the msnbccret
Speaker 1: everybody should answer this question for themselves, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I even like my own answer if I think
Speaker 1: about it for very long. You you have super conservative
Speaker 1: values like Joe Scarborough used to have, and I think
Speaker 1: they were real. We used to have them on the air,
Speaker 1: he wrote books. Would you change your stripes completely publicly?
Speaker 1: For twenty million dollars a year? It'd be a tough
Speaker 1: one to pass up.
Speaker 2: My attorneys have advised me, since my whole brand is
Speaker 2: like sincerity, to dodge that question.
Speaker 1: And dodge it I will, my gosh, how many you
Speaker 1: would stick to guns and passively twenty million dollars a
Speaker 1: year alter the course of your life and your kid's
Speaker 1: life and their kids' lives forever.
Speaker 2: The contract negotiations are going to be long and excruciating.
Speaker 1: All right, Joe, we need you to advocate for this,
Speaker 1: this and this. Okay.
Speaker 2: Also you need to say this is a good idea.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, how about this?
Speaker 1: You need to have Al Sharpton on every day and
Speaker 1: praise him as a hero. Right. I don't think I
Speaker 1: can have to advocate for boys and girls sports a
Speaker 1: right worth through here. Even if I see it, I
Speaker 1: don't think I could keep it up the way he has.
Speaker 2: Al Sharpton, speaking of the Reverend, anti semi racial agitator,
Speaker 2: shameless grifter, said to me making the high six figures,
Speaker 2: really it's kind of a utility player.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: How about Joy read hate monger Pride of Harvard million
Speaker 2: dollars float out racist making three million dollars a year?
Speaker 1: Wow? Evil evil, evil woman? Terrible? Oh that's say say.
Speaker 2: She interviews experts who accused Republicans of making it literally
Speaker 2: illegal for black people to vote.
Speaker 1: God, he's suggested Republicans.
Speaker 2: Taught the word people the word inflation. It doesn't really imaginee.
Speaker 1: I take back what I said. I thought originally I
Speaker 1: could do the Scarborough thing for twenty million dollars, you know,
Speaker 1: the way it would affect my kids in their lives,
Speaker 1: everything like that. I couldn't be on the same network
Speaker 1: as Joy Reid and have her on the show and
Speaker 1: keep my mouth shut. F you, I would come out
Speaker 1: of my mouth at some point. I'd rather drive a truck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: Some big political news today following multiple reports of sexual misconduct,
Speaker 7: Matt Gates withdrew his name from a consideration to be
Speaker 7: Trump's attorney general. So far, Trump hasn't named the replacement.
Speaker 1: But right now Rudy Giuliani.
Speaker 7: Is outside of throwing pebbles at his bedroom window.
Speaker 1: In your life?
Speaker 5: Are so?
Speaker 1: Gates could have gone back and stayed in Congress. I
Speaker 1: guess I didn't realize that he resigned. But he was elected,
Speaker 1: so he could change his mind if he wanted to.
Speaker 1: But he's decided not to for next next term. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: he couldn't stay.
Speaker 2: He can't unresign, but he got elected, so he could
Speaker 2: go show up and say, hey, I'm here.
Speaker 1: For work, gotcha A couple of different things, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. Sorry, Just so one more note.
Speaker 2: Gates said, I'm not going to go back to Congress,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to stay in the game, meaning he's
Speaker 2: going to be part of some super pack that raises
Speaker 2: zillions of dollars and he will mysteriously get rich.
Speaker 1: Just saw this in the New York Post. The fallout
Speaker 1: at MSNBC's Morning Joe continues to worsen after the host's
Speaker 1: announced they went to visit Trump Man did that backfire
Speaker 1: did that turned out to be a bad idea. Viewership
Speaker 1: fell to a new low. Wednesday they were setting record.
Speaker 1: They set a record on Tuesday. It was just two
Speaker 1: days afterwards. They're in the Advertiser twenty five to fifty
Speaker 1: four demo. It dropped forty one percent from Monday when
Speaker 1: they made the announcement. That's really something, Geeminy, that is
Speaker 1: really amazing. Boy. That's it is.
Speaker 2: They had not realized the full extent to which they
Speaker 2: had built a.
Speaker 1: A bubbled little cult. Well it's I don't well, that's
Speaker 1: part of it is that, yeah, but part of it
Speaker 1: is a you know, I don't like that you did
Speaker 1: that to me. I was right there with you watching
Speaker 1: the show every day about how he's Hitler and everything
Speaker 1: like that. And then it's over and you say we'll
Speaker 1: go meet with him, sit down with lunch with him,
Speaker 1: or treat him with the regular guy.
Speaker 2: What make me feel like a chump. That's what it
Speaker 2: would be exactly. Yeah, I want to rephrase what I said.
Speaker 1: They had.
Speaker 2: Convinced an audience to be part of that bubble with them,
Speaker 2: and then they violated one of the main tenets of
Speaker 2: the bubble, or one of the main, you know, fuels
Speaker 2: for forming the bubble and didn't understand that they had
Speaker 2: betrayed their poor soft headed insulated the viewers.
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll ever come back from this. Certainly
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. They're absurdly wealthy, I'm sure. But on
Speaker 1: the theme of performative politics, I mentioned that Denver mayor
Speaker 1: who challenges Trump to try to deport people from Denver,
Speaker 1: I'll send out the Denver police. He actually just said
Speaker 1: Trump will confront a Teneman Square moment if he carries
Speaker 1: out mass deportation plans in Denver. You see, you know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here, This Mayor Johnston of Denver. He
Speaker 1: will make a ton of money today with a tweet
Speaker 1: that's got that video on it and in some place
Speaker 1: to donate, and he will become a congressman or a
Speaker 1: senator or something out of this will only boost him.
Speaker 2: That's the way the world works. Now, So what aspect
Speaker 2: of Sian Men's Square are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 2: Machine gunning dissidents or tents with statues.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's fine if you would like what an
Speaker 1: idiot now, I want to mention this. You briefly said
Speaker 1: it earlier. Wall Street Journal with a love letter to
Speaker 1: fruit Loops. Something I knew because when my kids were
Speaker 1: younger and eating that kind of cereal, I would read
Speaker 1: the sugar content and regularly talk about on the air
Speaker 1: about how don't look at the box, don't look at
Speaker 1: the colors or the cartoon characters, you will be misled.
Speaker 1: I was misled over and over thinking at least I'm
Speaker 1: making letting them eat the kind of healthier version of
Speaker 1: this cereal, and was like completely one eighty wrong. Regularly,
Speaker 1: fruit Loops only has twelve grams of sugar. It's like
Speaker 1: a third what is in honey nut cheerios, for instance,
Speaker 1: that has like the healthy colors on there and stalks
Speaker 1: of grain, and you might think you're whereas fruit Loops is,
Speaker 1: you know, the wild colors and cartoon characters trying to
Speaker 1: advertise to you that you're giving your kids sugar. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll like it and they'll like you and shut up
Speaker 1: for a while. It doesn't even have that much sugar
Speaker 1: in it. It's funny. You gotta readalize, Yeah, that is interesting.
Speaker 2: I do think it's also interesting that the American fruit
Speaker 2: Loops they have like wildly bright colors, which is red
Speaker 2: number forty, yellow number five, yellow six, and blue one.
Speaker 1: My god, it was fruit. I thought the red fruit
Speaker 1: loop was red because of all the strawberry in it.
Speaker 1: In Canada, Kellogg's original fruit loops are colored with juice
Speaker 1: from carrots, watermelon, and blueberries. Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the things Rfkson about. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: his appeal. If we have more conversations about what we eat,
Speaker 2: that's fine with me.
Speaker 1: Now. I have seen the pushback that, and there's definitely
Speaker 1: some truth to this that when Michelle Obama tried to
Speaker 1: do this, there was a knee jerk reaction for people
Speaker 1: on the right because they don't like Michelle Obama that,
Speaker 1: you know, leave our food alone. Shut up, rfk Junior
Speaker 1: saying it, and people are like, oh, tell me more
Speaker 1: about what's healthy and what's not healthy. Any truth to that?
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I read something he said about school lunches and.
Speaker 1: They actually mentioned the Michelle Obama thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you like pile up broccoli and kale
Speaker 2: on kids' school lunches, it's just going to go into
Speaker 2: the trash can.
Speaker 1: Regardless of the hypocritical politics or people's views or whatever.
Speaker 1: If we have more conversations about eating stuff that comes
Speaker 1: in a plastic sack, that's a good Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was never anti what Michelle was saying. It was
Speaker 2: just unrealistic.
Speaker 1: Well, and I've got to think about the whole school
Speaker 1: lunch thing anyway, because it's just a it's an attempt
Speaker 1: to convince people that the job of the government is
Speaker 1: to feed your kids and not you. So that's what
Speaker 1: I hate about the school lunch program mostly.
Speaker 2: But if there is increased awareness about ultra processed foods,
Speaker 2: for instance, oh yeah, the way we eat as opposed
Speaker 2: to the way we used to eat thirty forty fifty
Speaker 2: years ago, that's nothing but a good thing.
Speaker 1: It would be great if and by we I mean me,
Speaker 1: if we started to look at stuff that comes in
Speaker 1: a plastic sack that is okay to eat for the
Speaker 1: next three years because it's all chemicals and preservatives. If
Speaker 1: that we treat that like smoking or drunk driving or
Speaker 1: any of the other cultural changes that have happened in
Speaker 1: my lifetime, that'd be awesome. I'd be happy if it
Speaker 1: happened to me. If we just if it gets to
Speaker 1: be to where you'd be embarrassed if people found out
Speaker 1: you were feeding your kids this stuff because it's so bad,
Speaker 1: or if you were seen eating it yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: similar to smoking, that'd be great. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I look at that stuff, and I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: pass myself off as superior to anybody. Got an empty nest.
Speaker 2: I have time to eat right in a way I
Speaker 2: didn't twenty years ago. But I look at like ultra
Speaker 2: processed foods similar to alcohol. Okay, I will permit this much,
Speaker 2: but not more than that. And I've got to remind
Speaker 2: myself tomorrow. No, I'm in a super hurry today. I'm
Speaker 2: having a frozen pizza. The ingredients list is a little
Speaker 2: hanky whatever. Just know that as opposed to eating that
Speaker 2: stuff all the time, seven days a week, with no
Speaker 2: awareness at all of what you're doing to your body.
Speaker 1: Just again, start with awareness. Go from there to each
Speaker 1: their own. Sure yummy though, oh hell yeah? Fruit bowl
Speaker 1: of fruit loops is good? Please.
Speaker 2: The ultra processed stuff is instantly delicious, right, and it's
Speaker 2: created to be so in a lab to manipulate you
Speaker 2: and your taste buds and your brain.
Speaker 1: So they can make more money. So you're telling me
Speaker 1: the yellow fruit loop is not flavored with a banana, No, sir.
Speaker 2: No, it's a straight out of a chemical plant that
Speaker 2: if you fell into one of the vats you'd be
Speaker 2: killed instantly.
Speaker 1: What was was a joke somebody had, John Stewart or
Speaker 1: John Oliver somebody about the pumpkin spice stuff, and this
Speaker 1: coffee is now full of chemicals that trick your brain
Speaker 1: into thinking there's pumpkin in there. There's no pumpkin. There's
Speaker 1: nothing pumpkin related whatsoever with on a thousand miles of
Speaker 1: your cup of coffee.
Speaker 2: Indeed, yeah, we've had people quibble via email that no,
Speaker 2: it's not pumpkin. It's the pumpkin spice. It's right there
Speaker 2: in the name. It's the spices you use for pumpkin.
Speaker 2: But no, it tastes of pumpkin too, I think, doesn't
Speaker 2: it matter? Or is that it's impossible to discern?
Speaker 1: I don't drink that stuff, And it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a McDonald's hamburger doesn't taste like a hamburger. So h.
Speaker 2: Right, right, But we're down a culinary cul de sac
Speaker 2: that I'm afraid there's no escaping from. So anyway, something
Speaker 2: something red dye number six, it will kill you, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So what are you eating? For Thanksgiving. Since you having
Speaker 1: people over, are you? Are you cooking everything? Oh? The standard?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Am I Oh, I got a wife. I'm in
Speaker 2: charge of the boyd as I am. Every year, you
Speaker 2: cook the turkey, I do? Oh, absolutely cool. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think I will grill it this year.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I got a buddy who has a giant party every year.
Speaker 2: Relatives come in, they stay in hotels. In his house,
Speaker 2: it's like thirty people and then he insists you come
Speaker 2: by and at least have a drink. It's a hell
Speaker 2: of a winging. But he does like three giant turkeys
Speaker 2: in fryers, one after the other. And I know, I
Speaker 2: know it. You're yelling at your radio. Once you go fryer,
Speaker 2: everything else is dire. I don't know there ought to
Speaker 2: be wrong, but I've been tempted to go fryer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: crisp delicious seals in the juices. But now I grill it.
Speaker 2: I cover it with foil and all, and I inject
Speaker 2: Cajun seasoning special juice into all the parts of the turkey.
Speaker 2: So my breasts by that, I mean the breasts I
Speaker 2: prepare are flavorful, moist and delicious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't talk about your breast being moist. So when
Speaker 1: you get a live turkey and slay it in front
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 2: I make the children do it toughens them up. I'm
Speaker 2: going to get one from the damn grocery.
Speaker 1: So we read the essay from the New York Times
Speaker 1: earlier about this year. The President shouldn't pardon the turkey
Speaker 1: because the turkey has committed no crime. And I can't
Speaker 1: tell who's just the driest piece of humor I've ever read,
Speaker 1: or I think it was a serious New York Times
Speaker 1: essay about something to do with capital punishment and eating
Speaker 1: meat or something and big turkey right in the way
Speaker 1: they treat turkeys, and how you can't pardon the turkey
Speaker 1: because the turkey has done nothing wrong, which is factually true.
Speaker 1: It hasn't committed a crime anyway. This is why I.
Speaker 2: Have a couple of glasses of wine. It's Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2: If I'm sober, I cannot sit there and take that.
Speaker 1: It almost certainly has not. The turkey is almost certainly
Speaker 1: not committed a capital offense crime that it has been
Speaker 1: found guilty to and sentenced to death. So yes, you
Speaker 1: cannot pardon the turkey.
Speaker 2: Well again, I dissent my Joe Getty and his descent
Speaker 2: said the Turkey is guilty of delicious in the penalty
Speaker 2: as deaths.
Speaker 1: Off with your head. Good enough for Marie Antoinette, good
Speaker 1: enough for this Turkey. We will finish strong next.
Speaker 8: Multiple projectiles at five am, apparently from one missile hitting
Speaker 8: an industrial site in Dnipros City, suggesting as Ukraine reported,
Speaker 8: Russia had launched a new type of ballistic missile, perhaps intercontinental,
Speaker 8: a stark escalation Vladimir Putin's big reveal. He said the
Speaker 8: missile was a new hypersonic, non nuclear device called the
Speaker 8: hazel Nut. The modern air defense system available worldwide and
Speaker 8: the US developed missile defense systems in Europe cannot intercept
Speaker 8: such missiles. He framed the strike as a response to
Speaker 8: American and British supplied missiles, attackers and storm shadows slamming
Speaker 8: into Russia proper over the last seventy two hours.
Speaker 1: Well, that's quite a report from CNN about that missile.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna pay any attention to any freaking politics over the
Speaker 1: next week, but I will pay attention to what's going
Speaker 1: on in that war. If that's true, that Putin does
Speaker 1: have a missile that we can't detect. That that is
Speaker 1: something to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, I will be paying attention to the freaking politics,
Speaker 2: as you put it so charmingly, because it matters. For instance,
Speaker 2: all of our Republican senator friends, a lot of them
Speaker 2: aren't even showing up to vote against Biden's radical judicial nominees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen they make a big show of it.
Speaker 1: But there is he doing other things.
Speaker 2: So various lunatics are getting voted into lifelong judge ships.
Speaker 1: Speaking of performative so much, the majority of politics is performative.
Speaker 1: And you go on a cable news show, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fight this and that, radical this and that, and you
Speaker 1: have a chance to vote against some of these people
Speaker 1: and you don't even show up. That's not cool.
Speaker 2: And some of them are demonstrably going to get the
Speaker 2: lifetime gig because three fewer than necessary Republicans even showed
Speaker 2: up to vote at all, including this one guy who
Speaker 2: seems like a real jackass. And this is in Florida,
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, the Journal points out, as busy as hell
Speaker 2: getting ready to be Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: But some of these other guys are just.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be terrible judges and you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: appeal their all their decisions.
Speaker 1: And blah blah blah. But anyway, and.
Speaker 2: Trump is out there saying, Hey, you got to show
Speaker 2: up and vote against these guys.
Speaker 1: But they're not anyway. Oh hum, world keeps spinning. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing this report they're talking about where State Department employees
Speaker 1: held cry sessions after the election. Wow, Dan, what do
Speaker 1: you send an email We're having a cry session this afternoon,
Speaker 1: and then you like try to hold back your tears
Speaker 1: until you all meet and then you let it out together.
Speaker 1: Is that the way it works? What's a cry session?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find it. I think I have it.
Speaker 2: One of your sane senators is demanding an account from
Speaker 2: the State Department.
Speaker 1: Why is this necessary? Why are you indulging crazy people? Oh? There,
Speaker 1: it is unacceptable that the department accommodates this behavior.
Speaker 2: Oh it's a House Foreign Affairs member called for the
Speaker 2: State Department to brief them over post election therapy sessions.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a good question.
Speaker 2: Why are we indulging people's craziness and weakness so much? Wow?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure it's obviously paid for by the taxpayers.
Speaker 1: So you're telling people it's perfectly legitimate to need therapy
Speaker 1: after the election, and taxpayers should pick up the tab.
Speaker 1: That's so nuts. Well, that won't happen with a Trump administration.
Speaker 1: It will happen, would have happened more with the Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris administration. One of the many reasons people voted the
Speaker 1: direction I voted, that's so crazy.
Speaker 2: So I was thinking about this during the commercial break.
Speaker 2: It's straight up there with cut the crap our new theme.
Speaker 2: Just quit pretending that this garbage is normal, because it's not.
Speaker 2: How about this, keep your kink to yourself. I was
Speaker 2: just reading about a workplace that was torn apart by
Speaker 2: some nutjob who declared he was transgender, and it just
Speaker 2: everything went nuts and everybody's miserable and walking on eggshells,
Speaker 2: and there are lawsuits about to happen.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I don't care what kink you have.
Speaker 2: I really don't as long as nobody gets hurt.
Speaker 1: What happened to keeping this stuff to ourselves? Looked for the.
Speaker 3: Bare necessities, the simple, fair necessities like.
Speaker 1: Final thoughts to and an other show. I mean, the
Speaker 1: fair necessities our mother Agure's recipes, like final thoughts from
Speaker 1: our host Jack and Joe. Here's your host for final thoughts,
Speaker 1: Joe Getty homespun but delightful. Well done.
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1: To wrap up the week.
Speaker 2: There is our technical director keeping us on the air,
Speaker 2: Michael Aangelo.
Speaker 1: What's your final thought next year? At Thanksgiving?
Speaker 4: It took forever to cook the turkey. We ate at
Speaker 4: like eight o'clock at night. So I'm going to cook
Speaker 4: the turkey. I'm starting it today. I'm going to put
Speaker 4: it on at about seventy five degrees and then I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna hopefully it'll be done by.
Speaker 1: Thursday, seems doing the math yep that out of work.
Speaker 1: I've been to a Thanksgiving like that before, where everybody's
Speaker 1: just starving to death and it's getting later and later
Speaker 1: and people are starting starting to get angry. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: so stressful.
Speaker 2: Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite things around this time is when
Speaker 5: the videos start rolling out of the deep fried turkey catastrophes.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, that's when things go wrong. They go
Speaker 2: very very wrong. That's the problem with the friar. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 2: lord U Jack, Do you have a final thought you'd
Speaker 2: like to share?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know a lot of you don't do the
Speaker 1: social media. You don't do Twitter, but download the Twitter app.

Speaker 1: the Chiefs game. I'll be at it, gonna be cold,

Speaker 2: My final thought is much more heavy than Jack's and significant,
Speaker 2: although that was a good one.
Speaker 1: I am thankful for two things.
Speaker 2: That I have a job I love to do mostly,
Speaker 2: and also that we have some time off from it.
Speaker 2: The batteries need a little recharging.
Speaker 1: Couldn't help. But notice that parenthetical mostly in there. It's
