Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong, and
Speaker 1: Jattie and he Armstrong and Eddy following up on a
Speaker 1: couple of things before we get to clips of the week.
Speaker 1: I mentioned last hour how I was a well. First
Speaker 1: of all, we played the clip of the woman who
Speaker 1: has set the Guinness Book of Work records for having
Speaker 1: the biggest mouth. So congratulations all the things that she
Speaker 1: can shove in her mouth, ge Wi, nice job. And
Speaker 1: how I was obsessed with getting in the Guinness Book
Speaker 1: and I tried all kinds of different things to get in.
Speaker 1: And my mom, how my mom went along with it all,
Speaker 1: which was very nice for I've never I have no
Speaker 1: memory of my dad being involved. He probably was. He
Speaker 1: had to be just thinking I was never gonna make
Speaker 1: it in the world. He was like, well, there's my
Speaker 1: son and getting into bed with his roller skates. Right.
Speaker 1: I'll bet he did think that it's like Hank Hill
Speaker 1: and King of the Hill. That boy ain't right. He
Speaker 1: couldn't have been pleased.
Speaker 2: Looking at your wife or at your mom, going you're
Speaker 2: really gonna slide him eggs.
Speaker 1: Box house because he wants to set a Guinness record. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is God bless your mom. I'll have to ask
Speaker 1: him about that at some point. Oh, circus, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be like a circus performer. I made a tight
Speaker 1: rope in the backyard between two trees, got a long pole.
Speaker 1: I worked on that. Juggling. Just yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: did juggling. It was so fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the set a record page for the
Speaker 2: Guinness Book of World Records. Two of the ones that
Speaker 2: they need filled most mandarin orange is peeled in one minute, okay,
Speaker 2: and fastest time to lace a pair of shoes. I
Speaker 2: feel like you could possibly do either one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty good at that second one. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm the fastest in the world, okay. And
Speaker 1: the the other thing. I got a question about the
Speaker 1: story that's insignificant but getting a fair amount of attention
Speaker 1: because it involves the band Weezer, but the bass player
Speaker 1: for Weezer's wife charged with attempted murder lapd shotter that
Speaker 1: whole thing. Got a question about that. But we need
Speaker 1: to do this first because it's I know it's a
Speaker 1: fan favorite. It's every week we do this on a Friday,
Speaker 1: we take a look back at the week that was,
Speaker 1: the week of shows. We call it cow. It's clips
Speaker 1: of the week. The Silent Riot has begun. Clean to
Speaker 1: shug pot.
Speaker 3: The clips of the biotech company Colossal Biosciences says it
Speaker 3: brought the extinct dire wolf back to life, a species
Speaker 3: that hasn't walked the earth since the Stone Age.
Speaker 1: That's it, black top Sure.
Speaker 3: On Saturday, protesters took to the streets in city all
Speaker 3: across the country, speaking out against the Trump administration's moves.
Speaker 1: The silent Riot has begun. We don't pick a guy
Speaker 1: we are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.
Speaker 1: May it please the Court?
Speaker 4: I come here today a humble proceeds for a panel
Speaker 4: of five distinguished justices.
Speaker 1: Is this hold on? Is that counsel for the case standard?
Speaker 1: ELAW's a car manufacturer, but he's not a car manufacturer,
Speaker 1: He's a car assembler.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk calling President Trump's top trade advisor dumber than
Speaker 4: a sack of bricks.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, these countries are calling this up, kissing
Speaker 1: my ass. There's no postponing. They are definitely against paying place.
Speaker 1: But now it's our turn to do the ripping the
Speaker 1: S and P five hundred losing more than five trillion
Speaker 1: dollars in value in just two days. Whose throat do
Speaker 1: I get to choke if this proves to be wrong.
Speaker 1: I know what the hell I'm doing. I know what
Speaker 1: I'm doing, and you know what I'm doing too. The
Speaker 1: President announces he's putting a ninety day pause on most
Speaker 1: of his tariff. It's the bond market. Those markets weren't
Speaker 1: imploding last night.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit
Speaker 3: out of line.
Speaker 1: They were getting yippie. You know, the bond market right
Speaker 1: now is beautiful. Any of you in the media clearly
Speaker 1: missed the art of the deal. This was his strategy.
Speaker 5: All spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important as a
Speaker 5: sleep Hope you are well or all the art, strong
Speaker 5: and getty.
Speaker 1: That was my embarrassing meltdown yesterday. I got to the
Speaker 1: end of a sentence and I couldn't get the words
Speaker 1: to come out of my mouth. For some reason. I'm
Speaker 1: hoping I don't repeat that anytime soon, or I probably
Speaker 1: have some sort of neurological disease that will kill me.
Speaker 1: We did this story yesterday and it got a fair
Speaker 1: amount of attention. I saw it was on the ABC
Speaker 1: Evening News last two nights that I watched the bass
Speaker 1: player from the band Weezer, which I like, his wife
Speaker 1: charged with attempted murder. So short version of the story,
Speaker 1: there's a high speed chase in LA. Got nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Weezer or twenty one Pilots or any other
Speaker 1: band from that era. It's a high speed chase, car crashes,
Speaker 1: three suspects run through a neighborhood that happens to be
Speaker 1: a neighborhood where the guy from Weezer lives. One funny
Speaker 1: thing about the guy, one of the guys who ran
Speaker 1: from the car is he hopped a fence into the
Speaker 1: backyard of some fancy house, strips down to his boxer shorts,
Speaker 1: grabs a hose, and starts walking around watering plants. Did
Speaker 1: you see the video of it? I did pretty clever. Actually,
Speaker 1: I was going to say that was not the worst idea. No,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he got caught because he just very nonchalantly
Speaker 1: walks around watering plants. So you know, if the cops
Speaker 1: would peek over say yeah, yeah, oh, what's going on, officers,
Speaker 1: I'm just watering these shrubs, but somehow they knew he
Speaker 1: was one of the guys they were looking for, and
Speaker 1: he got arrested. Not quite clear on this. I've read
Speaker 1: a number of reports, including TMZ on how the Weezer
Speaker 1: household became aware of what was going on. But apparently
Speaker 1: Missus Weezer I don't remember the bass player's name, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Missus Weezer became aware that there was some
Speaker 1: sort of criminal activity in your neighborhood. She's a gun enthusiast,
Speaker 1: which I now know, we now know owns guns. There's
Speaker 1: lots of videos of our online at the gun range
Speaker 1: practicing shooting her gun. She comes out of the house
Speaker 1: with a gun in her hand. Well, I think three.
Speaker 1: A lot of these numbers keep changing. I don't know
Speaker 1: why the details aren't better because they have body cameras on.
Speaker 1: But anyway, it looked like there were three. Lad Come
Speaker 1: around the corner. There's a woman in a driveway with
Speaker 1: a gun. They yell at her to drop the weapon.
Speaker 1: They yell at her several times to drop the weapon.
Speaker 1: She doesn't drop the weapon. Yesterday TMZ was reporting it
Speaker 1: is unclear whether she fired the weapon. Last night, on
Speaker 1: ABC News, the reporting was she turns, she points the
Speaker 1: weapon at the cops and fires her weapon.
Speaker 2: Which is amazing because usually you don't even get that far.
Speaker 1: No, no, there, you got a gun in your hand
Speaker 1: and they're yelling at you to drop it. As soon
Speaker 1: as you start to bring it up. You got like
Speaker 1: ten holes in you. Yeah, So this is a part
Speaker 1: of the story. Don't get And I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: claim anything bad happen, But why didn't the thing we
Speaker 1: all expect to happen happen? Why is she not full
Speaker 1: of holes? She got shot but barely wounded. She goes
Speaker 1: into the house, hangs out with the babysitter for a while,
Speaker 1: has a conversation. She and the babysitter come out, and
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen the video off of her being
Speaker 1: told to get down on your knees, lay down on
Speaker 1: the ground, become and arrest her, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So she was that lightly wounded. She took one bullet
Speaker 1: to the shoulder. But how was she not dead within
Speaker 1: seconds of being filled full of holes? Was that on purpose?
Speaker 1: And if so, why did she get different treatment than
Speaker 1: like the guy that gets shot because he's got a
Speaker 1: cell phone in his hand and doesn't understand English. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've seen all these horrifying accidents. Not blaming the cops here,
Speaker 1: just I don't understand why she isn't dead. And did
Speaker 1: they miss? Like, are they really bad shots? Did they panic?
Speaker 1: Did they not follow their own training? And actually not?
Speaker 1: Did they not all unload on her? Oh that's usually
Speaker 1: what happens.
Speaker 2: I'll be really interested because the stuff we've seen so
Speaker 2: far is just the before and after. We haven't actually
Speaker 2: seen this take place, and I'll be interested to hear
Speaker 2: how many shots were actually fired.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not claiming. I'm not trying to make a
Speaker 1: scandal out of this. It just doesn't fit everything we
Speaker 1: know about these scenes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that she was hit once in
Speaker 2: the shoulder after pointing a firearm at three police officers,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of thinking it's time for a trip to
Speaker 2: the range for some practice shooting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my first guess, But I actually don't know
Speaker 1: what happened. But yeah, if you've got a gun in
Speaker 1: your hand and there are multiple cops there, they've got
Speaker 1: their guns out and pointed at you, and they are
Speaker 1: trained well enough, and they're not trained to lay. It's
Speaker 1: not like an old Western they're not trained to shoot
Speaker 1: you in the hand, so you drop the gun. They
Speaker 1: need to eliminate the threat, which usually means because I
Speaker 1: took some gun training from law enforcement for some fun
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, sent her a mass and
Speaker 1: the threat. So they all had their guns out, I assume,
Speaker 1: pointed right at her chest. Expert marksman guns pointed at
Speaker 1: her chest. She raises the gun and fires at them
Speaker 1: and one bullet barely gets her. What happened there? Somebody
Speaker 1: needs to explain this story. Yeah, there's more, and I'll
Speaker 1: bet this is going to be used next time there
Speaker 1: is a person of color shot who didn't have it coming,
Speaker 1: you know, And these are very tough situations cops end
Speaker 1: up with and end up in with split second decisions
Speaker 1: and lives on the line. But the next time you
Speaker 1: have one of those, you know, it was a cell phone,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a gun, or is a toy gun or
Speaker 1: whatever it was, you know, one of those stories, this
Speaker 1: is going to be used as Okay, So if it's
Speaker 1: a white woman, he's rich, she gets shot in the
Speaker 1: shoulder and gets to walk back in the house and
Speaker 1: you let her surrender. If it's a black guy, spanic guy.
Speaker 1: Whatever you're gonna whatever the situation is going to be,
Speaker 1: you kill you know that's gonna come up. Because this
Speaker 1: is weird. I don't know what happened. The thing doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. It does not. But you say the
Speaker 1: bass player from Weezer is going to play at Coachella
Speaker 1: this weekend.
Speaker 2: No, the band is confirmed, but they have not They
Speaker 2: don't know if.
Speaker 1: The husband will be there. Well, you got to have
Speaker 1: a bass player, So maybe you get a bass player
Speaker 1: who's wife doesn't shoot at LAPD. That would be a
Speaker 1: nice option. Uh, sorry, guys, I can't. I'd like to
Speaker 1: be there. I know we're supposed to play. Gonna be
Speaker 1: a good gig. But my wife is being charged with
Speaker 1: attempted murder of a cop, which is a heck of
Speaker 1: a charge. How did that happen? She some hit and
Speaker 1: run she wasn't involved in. She went outside. I don't know, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: no kidding. What a weird roundabout situation? Yeah? Uh, if
Speaker 1: you think you know any well, first of all, if
Speaker 1: you heard anything different than we have, or if you
Speaker 1: think I've got an explanation, maybe your former cop and
Speaker 1: it makes sense to you, Sure doesn't make sense to
Speaker 1: us give us a text four one five two nine
Speaker 1: five KFTC. I just reached out to somebody who would
Speaker 1: be super knowledgeable at how LAPD did not waste that
Speaker 1: woman who fired a shot at her the wife of
Speaker 1: the bass player for Weezer. Something weird going on there,
Speaker 1: so I might have an answer this hour. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: there's another thing I wanted to get on before I
Speaker 1: do this funny deal. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has weighing on daylight saving time. Today he urged congressional
Speaker 1: action to make it permanent, so we'll see if that
Speaker 1: actually finally happens. I think we want saving time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we want saving time to be permanent, not standard time.
Speaker 1: And like Joe and I always say, people talk about
Speaker 1: the downside of this and that, or kids at the
Speaker 1: bus stop or getting dark, let's try it once and
Speaker 1: if we decide we don't like it, we'll go back. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's just try it once. What's wrong with that? There's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with trying it once. By the way, I
Speaker 1: think there are two states that do it. But my
Speaker 1: parents lived in Arizona for a couple of decades. They
Speaker 1: don't change their clocks, and everything was fine. There were
Speaker 1: no dead bodies. People weren't crashing their cars. Nothing caught
Speaker 1: on fire or all of a sudden getting cancer because
Speaker 1: they get too much sun or not enough sun or
Speaker 1: whatever the hell happened. Yeah, nothing got fire. So let's
Speaker 1: try it once. I hope Trump, with his power, wins
Speaker 1: the day on this finally. Okay, so this I haven't
Speaker 1: heard it. I don't know exactly what it is. I
Speaker 1: sent this to Hansen because I came across it. This
Speaker 1: is the way it was described by Byron York of
Speaker 1: The Washington Examiner. He said, this is absolutely astonishing, a
Speaker 1: totally bonkers interview in which BBZ BBC presenters this is
Speaker 1: British stuff, interrogate a politician because she hasn't watched a
Speaker 1: TV show. Okay, let's hear it. Have you watched a
Speaker 1: Lessons yet? No? No, I haven't.
Speaker 5: I probably won't.
Speaker 6: It's a film on Netflix, and most of my time
Speaker 6: right now is spent visiting the country.
Speaker 7: It's a part series on Netflix, and everyone is talking
Speaker 7: about it. It is prompting conversations about toxic masculinity. Smartphone news,
Speaker 7: young men feeling they're being ignored, the idea of misogyny
Speaker 7: being increased in school why would you not want to
Speaker 7: know what people are talking about.
Speaker 6: Well, I think that those are all important issues, and
Speaker 6: those are issues that I've been talking about for a
Speaker 6: long time. But in the same way that I don't
Speaker 6: need to watch Casualty to know what's going on in
Speaker 6: the NHS, I don't need to watch a specific Netflix
Speaker 6: drama to understand what's going on. It's a fictional it's
Speaker 6: a fictional series.
Speaker 4: Do you stand by the thing you just said a
Speaker 4: moment ago that you're preparing adolescens with casualty these TV programs.
Speaker 1: Did you really mean to say that.
Speaker 6: I'm saying very clearly that my job is not to
Speaker 6: watch lots of TV.
Speaker 5: My job is to.
Speaker 6: Get out there and make sure that I'm talking about
Speaker 6: the issues that are happening in the country right now.
Speaker 6: I have met children who've been victims. I think that
Speaker 6: that is enough for me to go out there, make policy,
Speaker 6: look at the resear I but I don't think the
Speaker 6: right thing is to be deciding who has watched which
Speaker 6: show and working out whether that means that you are informed.
Speaker 6: There are many ways for us.
Speaker 7: Since has made more of an impact than any politician
Speaker 7: as on parents and when it comes to the issue
Speaker 7: of smartphones and misogyny, and yet you are saying, despite that,
Speaker 7: you don't need to know about it.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I haven't said that.
Speaker 6: I don't need to do I need to watch it.
Speaker 6: I don't need to watch a specific show to know
Speaker 6: what is going on in this country.
Speaker 1: So I got it's the whole thing is four minutes long.
Speaker 1: Executive producer hands and cut it down to that. But
Speaker 1: that is pretty funny. Their accents make it so much worse.
Speaker 2: Well, you're not going to watch adolescents, it's like this
Speaker 2: extra judgy.
Speaker 1: No. I know that I know the topic and I agree,
Speaker 1: but I haven't seen the TV show. You haven't seen
Speaker 1: the TV show? Are you going to watch a TV show?
Speaker 1: I'm not. I haven't made any plans to yet. You're
Speaker 1: not going to watch it? Do you stand by that
Speaker 1: you haven't made any plans to watch it? What the
Speaker 1: hell is going on there?
Speaker 2: I've met actual victims. I don't need to watch Netflix.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Wow, that is really something could as to
Speaker 1: her for keeping her cool. I would have smacked somebody.
Speaker 1: I would have been looking around like is this real?
Speaker 1: This is a joke? What are you people at Kutcher
Speaker 1: who's punking me. That is funny. It is a totally
Speaker 1: bonkers interview in which BBC presenters interrogated politician because she
Speaker 1: hasn't watched some TV show.
Speaker 2: If you go to an Armstrong and Getty dot com
Speaker 2: and click on Katie's corner, I have the video in
Speaker 2: full up there and it doesn't get any better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I must say, I actually want to watch the
Speaker 1: whole thing now. Yeah, it's on our website. I was
Speaker 1: watching the Twitter link of it. It sounds like an old
Speaker 1: Monty Python skit. It really does. It is hilarious. Wow,
Speaker 1: these these anchors are Hollywood elite, like our Hollywood elite,
Speaker 1: utterly clueless. I would say, wow, that was funny. I
Speaker 1: got a comment and question for parents coming up. A
Speaker 1: couple of interesting things that we'll get into in the
Speaker 1: last half hour of the week. Actually, if you miss
Speaker 1: a segment or now you can get the podcast, you
Speaker 1: should subscribe. It's easiest way, so it's fed into you
Speaker 1: every single day. Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2: We're Strong and Getdy.
Speaker 1: We don't like people who e fake meat. According to
Speaker 1: a news study. Get to that in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: But from first this, Katie, what are we about to hear.
Speaker 1: So this is from Canada. A guy who runs the
Speaker 1: account uh Toronto tiede and I didn't know this, but
Speaker 1: there's an an accent in Toronto, Canada doesn't sound Canadian
Speaker 1: at all. But the kids are also using slang. And
Speaker 1: I guarantee you you're not going to understand a word
Speaker 1: of this line. So you know what that Katy's the Denons.
Speaker 1: I would never deal with the Desnons. You're fam. My
Speaker 1: favorite slang is Gerbert fam because it just bear Gerbert.
Speaker 1: My favorite Toronto slang where it has to be desk.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's like that's that's that your way? Sam?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Smith's that could dust when I
Speaker 1: get as So you're just go, are you?
Speaker 3: Sam?
Speaker 1: That's just so you caught it. The guys that are
Speaker 1: wiz you saign out knowing you know to too is
Speaker 1: my word family. It's that Toronto accent firm. Who else
Speaker 1: has the cool swag? I say on the cool things
Speaker 1: like miss Keane, wis you Gerberry Lake? Y'all like what miskeans?
Speaker 1: If y'all hating on it? It's just interesting. It's got
Speaker 1: a bit of a Louisiana creole thing, which probably where's
Speaker 1: the French comes from? Because that's what that is down
Speaker 1: in Louisiana. It's French. And I didn't know that. I've
Speaker 1: spent one day, one afternoon total in Toronto in my life.
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was an accent like that. I
Speaker 1: have no idea, but it's it's gone.
Speaker 2: It's taken off enough that it's gone viral recently because
Speaker 2: they're saying things like your deaths.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're an odd ute, I think is
Speaker 1: what wasn't there. I've talked about how my son's high
Speaker 1: school words they change, like as soon as I catch
Speaker 1: on to them and start using them, he mocks me
Speaker 1: for them being nobody says that anymore, Dad. So you
Speaker 1: can't keep up with the teenagers and their slang. It's
Speaker 1: totally social media's fault, by the way. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: there have been some studies talk about how it's way
Speaker 1: faster than it used to be. It's always been true
Speaker 1: that teenagers have slang, and it changed over time because
Speaker 1: you have to reflect the fact that we're the new
Speaker 1: young crowd. But it's never spent. It's never been at
Speaker 1: this speed before. So now words come and go within
Speaker 1: one calendar year, like we probably had the same slang
Speaker 1: all through entire high school. It doesn't even make it
Speaker 1: a whole year now. I remember when my junior class
Speaker 1: discovered the word gnarly fantastic. Yeah, so our executive producer, Hansen,
Speaker 1: he asked me if it would be our if he
Speaker 1: left early. He wanted to go catch his daughter do
Speaker 1: some singing thing at school, and I said, yeah, of course. Cool.
Speaker 1: And as a parent myself, I was telling him and
Speaker 1: his kids are just a couple of years younger than mine.
Speaker 1: But I said, man, one thing. I mean, even though
Speaker 1: I know it, even though I was told it ahead
Speaker 1: of time, even though I'm living it now, the whole
Speaker 1: they grow up fast thing. It's just astonishing and how
Speaker 1: various eras of childhood come and go and you don't.
Speaker 1: It's so taxing being a parent while you're in it
Speaker 1: that once it's gone, you realize it's never coming back again.
Speaker 1: And you know that's a bittersweet. I guess you're glad
Speaker 1: that they're growing and moving on, but you miss it
Speaker 1: like reading to my kids every night, you know, it
Speaker 1: was I loved it. It was fantastic, but it was
Speaker 1: a lot of work and doing it every night and
Speaker 1: everything like that. But then one of them says, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't really need to read with me anymore because
Speaker 1: it's getting They just feel it. It's weird. And then
Speaker 1: then depending on how many kids you have, when the
Speaker 1: last kid says you don't need to read with me anymore,
Speaker 1: you realize I'm probably never gonna read to a kid
Speaker 1: in bed ever again. In my wife and here it's
Speaker 1: dominated my life for the last several years, and I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna do this again. It's it's quite shocking. And
Speaker 1: I've got that going on tomorrow. We got a big
Speaker 1: parade in my town that happens every single year, and
Speaker 1: I've been taking my thirteen year old and my fifteen
Speaker 1: year old. We've all gone together every year since they
Speaker 1: were babies, and nice taking them carrying them. But then
Speaker 1: we'd go go in there little and get on, you
Speaker 1: know again, drink a milkshake or something. We'd sit on
Speaker 1: the curb and I'd get some coffee and way to
Speaker 1: watch the parade. And then it's gone through years and
Speaker 1: neither one of them want to go with me now,
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously true, my oldest son's fifteen. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised you went last year when I was fifteen, Was
Speaker 1: I going to parades with my dad? Freak No, I
Speaker 1: mean they couldn't imagine it. Well, first of oz, I
Speaker 1: had a job. I had a job, and I was working.
Speaker 1: I would have been at work that day. That's one
Speaker 1: of the problems is that that has changed in my lifetime,
Speaker 1: where you could go out and get a job starting
Speaker 1: at like twelve, and now they've passed all these laws.
Speaker 1: Some of you weirdos think it's good that kids can't
Speaker 1: work until they're sixteen. Anytime you argue for lowering that age,
Speaker 1: weirdos on the left talk about exploiting children or whatever.
Speaker 1: My kids have been wanting a job for years. They
Speaker 1: hate the fact that they can't have a job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the things that blows my mind
Speaker 2: because I was the same way. I could not wait
Speaker 2: to work. Why the arey I couldn't you wait to work?
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make my own money. And yes,
Speaker 2: you work a cash register and learn how to work
Speaker 2: with people, and I just wanted to make my own
Speaker 2: cash and that was the gist of it. But now,
Speaker 2: I mean, I hear more and more of kids that
Speaker 2: don't want to.
Speaker 1: Work at all. Well, I don't know about that. I
Speaker 1: know my kids do. Yes, Michael, I still remember the
Speaker 1: excitement to give me my first paycheck. Actually, yeah, I
Speaker 1: had the company name on it.
Speaker 7: In the money.
Speaker 1: The money is what drove me. Yeah, I remember when
Speaker 1: I started, when I started asking my dad. I was
Speaker 1: mowing lawns for a couple of years and I wanted
Speaker 1: to work at the feedb loots and I'd ask him,
Speaker 1: did you ask somebody today did you look at it?
Speaker 1: Because I couldn't wait to And it was a grueling
Speaker 1: job that I did for or four years, all day,
Speaker 1: every day in the summer. But I wanted my own money.
Speaker 1: And then when I was a sophomore in high school,
Speaker 1: I bought my own brand new motorcycle. It was the
Speaker 1: coolest motorcycle in town and I bought it with my
Speaker 1: money from my job. It was fantastic. Yeah, my kids really,
Speaker 1: they can't wait. My son is fifteen in a quarter.
Speaker 1: Because at fifteen and a half you can do some things,
Speaker 1: and at sixteen you can get a job. But they
Speaker 1: can't wait to work. I can't believe there are laws
Speaker 1: in place that want you hear all about this shortage
Speaker 1: of labor at various places. There are kids out there
Speaker 1: that want the jobs. Let them do it. You're not exploiting,
Speaker 1: you're not ex exploiting someone if they want to do it.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, I'm not get off on that.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: It was the point that, Yeah, they do grow up
Speaker 1: so fast and those errors change so fast. And of
Speaker 1: course they don't want to go to the parade with me.
Speaker 1: Of course they don't want to do They want to
Speaker 1: hang out with their friends. And I just got to
Speaker 1: get used to that. It's weird. I had a Friday
Speaker 1: night a while back where they were both with their friends.
Speaker 1: I was like, huh, so we're not doing family movie night.
Speaker 1: We're not hanging out. We're not gonna go shoot baskets.
Speaker 1: We're not. I'm here by myself and they're doing things
Speaker 1: with their friends. We'll all be damned. Is this the
Speaker 1: rest of my life? Will be soon enough? I guess,
Speaker 1: as Joe says, we're not needed anymore once you've raised
Speaker 1: your children. And I haven't raised my children yet. There
Speaker 1: are thirteen fifteen. I got a ways to go. But
Speaker 1: once you once your kids, when they leave the home,
Speaker 1: nature has no use for you anymore. You're you're you're
Speaker 1: taking up space on earth, and it is absolutely true.
Speaker 1: No not. You've done your part. You pro created, you
Speaker 1: raised them to the point that they can procreate. You're
Speaker 1: supposed to die. I am thirty six years old.
Speaker 2: I still very much need both of my parents, just
Speaker 2: because life wouldn't be right without the minute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I realized that some of you listening are saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: my kids are twenty six and twenty eight and they're
Speaker 1: stolen my basement. I realized that is the case with
Speaker 1: some of you. I just try to recognize how fast
Speaker 1: it does go. That's why, like, of course I'm okay
Speaker 1: with Anson going to see his daughter sin because it
Speaker 1: goes by so fast. Because my brother joined the military,
Speaker 1: so like a week after he graduated high school, he
Speaker 1: was gone and never came back. And I worked that
Speaker 1: summer afterwards, but then I went off and I never
Speaker 1: came back. And so my son is fifteen and a half.
Speaker 1: I might have what two more summers, three more s
Speaker 1: and then he's gone forever. God, it's amazing how fast
Speaker 1: it happens. And he'll need dad for the rest of
Speaker 1: your life. Yeah, but need and want me to die
Speaker 1: off so they can have my stuff. That's what they
Speaker 1: would You stop it. God, you do have a pretty
Speaker 1: good TV. Well, yeah, like whenever I do anything dangerous
Speaker 1: one of Moyce's can I have your watch? Which one?
Speaker 1: Because you wear too? I found out the other day.
Speaker 1: It's true. I do wear to watches each We will
Speaker 1: finish strong next day or strong.
Speaker 4: Police chasing a stolen U haul in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
Speaker 4: but he finally stopped. Officers could hear a couple banging
Speaker 4: and yelling for help from inside the back of that
Speaker 4: U haul. That's them pounding. The suspect was then arrested.
Speaker 4: Authority say the couple had rented the U haul they.
Speaker 1: Were in the back was stolen. That's crazy. Uh so
Speaker 1: the thieves closed the door on them, because you don't.
Speaker 1: You're not in any uta U haul in the back
Speaker 1: with the door closed. Maybe they were getting busy. That
Speaker 1: could be you. Yeah, yeah, one serious thing before I
Speaker 1: do two silly things in this final segment of the week.
Speaker 1: Regardless of what your feelings are in the whole war
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, whether or not, and how much you feel
Speaker 1: like we should support be supporting Ukraine against Russia, Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin's one of the worst people on earth. Russia was
Speaker 1: the aggressor. They caused all this and they're still horrible anyway,
Speaker 1: Zelenski tweeted out today, I'm in the Dnipro region of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: I honored the memory of those killed by a Russian
Speaker 1: ballistic missile strike. It's amazing how much how little news
Speaker 1: this war is getting because the tariffs and all the
Speaker 1: other things are going on. A ballistic missile stripe, that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. One week ago, nineteen people were killed
Speaker 1: by a Russian missile, including nine children. I'm in a
Speaker 1: shelter at the very school where those children are hiding,
Speaker 1: when they're hiding when the attack started. Nineteen people dead,
Speaker 1: nine kids. Ballistic missile attack on a school. Russia is
Speaker 1: they are the bad guy. Putin's a bad guy. So
Speaker 1: that's the end of that. So I sent to a
Speaker 1: colleague in the radio industry that story about the subway
Speaker 1: in New York. This is from the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Somebody died on the subway. Somebody else gets on the subway,
Speaker 1: sees a dead body, robs them, then has sex with them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that crazy. So I sent that story to somebody.
Speaker 1: They sent this back to me. This is a real story. Also,
Speaker 1: this is from the New Scientist, a real science magazine.
Speaker 1: This is not for the queasy or the children. And
Speaker 1: obviously the anus may have evolved from a whole originally
Speaker 1: used to release sperm. According to the New Scientist magazine,
Speaker 1: the long standing question of how animals came to have
Speaker 1: an anus. I didn't realize that was a long standing
Speaker 1: question in the scientific community among people who study the
Speaker 1: buthelet of various beasts. The long standing question of how
Speaker 1: animals came to have an anis may have been solved
Speaker 1: by studies in which genes are active during development various animals.
Speaker 1: So there you go, the anis, it says here. This
Speaker 1: is in the New Scientists. The anis is a wildly
Speaker 1: successful innovation. I would say, so, yeah, thank you Nature.
Speaker 1: It works pretty well. Yeah, team anus most of the
Speaker 1: most of the time, it works pretty well. It really does.
Speaker 1: Huh huh well. And as this researcher from the University
Speaker 1: of Jena in Germany said, once a hole is there,
Speaker 1: you can use it for other things. A lot of
Speaker 1: people have noticed. We're on in San Francisco for ins. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that story. I am laughing at that like a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy. Yeah, no kidding. I'll move on
Speaker 1: from that story. New study about people who eat plant
Speaker 1: based meat. This would be your impossible burgers. Is that right?
Speaker 1: Is it impossible burger plant based or is that grown?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's it's that's fake meat tastes
Speaker 1: good though we not good for you, but it tastes good.
Speaker 1: We tend to not like those people. It's interesting according
Speaker 1: to new study, and I would imagine that they're doing
Speaker 1: this study to try to figure out why it's not
Speaker 1: catching on the way they were hoping. It's it's kind
Speaker 1: of like people that have a negative view of because
Speaker 1: I get this, people have a negative view of people
Speaker 1: who drive electric cars. You just have you just I
Speaker 1: assume that I have an electric vehicle, and I assume
Speaker 1: that if you drive an electric car, there's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of things that goes with that package that I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna like. Yeah. Yeah, I make that assumption all
Speaker 1: the time, even though I have one. Yeah. Most people
Speaker 1: don't admit it publicly, but they're secretly judging that coworker
Speaker 1: who brought a plant based burger to the company. Picnic. Oh,
Speaker 1: you brought it to the company picnic Yeah, I am
Speaker 1: judging you. A new study reveals that consumers of meat
Speaker 1: alternatives face complex social stigma. Even the supermarket shells fill
Speaker 1: with more plant based options than ever before. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's overstating it. Yeah, there's one tiny little part
Speaker 1: of my grocery store that has a few options, and
Speaker 1: nobody seems to be buying them. Have you ever tried
Speaker 1: the fake cheese?
Speaker 2: Noo boy, it's an interesting texture, flavor, all of it. You.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Researchers found that people who choose plant based proteins
Speaker 1: over traditional meat are seen as both admirable and contemptible. Admirable, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I can see, Okay, you're into health and the environments.
Speaker 1: I like, that's kind of cool, but I don't like you.
Speaker 1: And that is exactly what it is. Respect respected for
Speaker 1: their environmental and health consciousness, but also frequently met with
Speaker 1: negative emotions, including anger, social exclusion, and fear. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm afraid of you now, but yeah, anger and
Speaker 1: social exclusion, that is. That is an interesting combo on one,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of cool. You're so dedicated to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, being healthy, and you probably work out a
Speaker 1: lot and everything like that, and stay away from me.
Speaker 1: I have all of those feelings at the same time.
Speaker 1: I think that's perfectly said. Yeah, I respect your decision,
Speaker 1: but I don't like you. But I don't I don't
Speaker 1: want to hang around you. Well, and that electric car
Speaker 1: you're driving probably is cheaper to run, probably easier to park,
Speaker 1: and I don't like you. Right, all goes together, right,
Speaker 1: That is something I'm not surprised that they studied this
Speaker 1: and they're trying to nail this down because they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to overcome that. To get electric cars to ever
Speaker 1: take off, or to get a plant based meat to
Speaker 1: ever take off, you're gonna have to overcome that natural tendency.
Speaker 1: We all have to think. Those people are a pain
Speaker 1: in the ass. Now.
Speaker 2: I would love I would love to be able to
Speaker 2: be a vegetarian because I think cows and pigs and all,
Speaker 2: I think they're adorable. I can't do it, so I
Speaker 2: respect it, but you know, don't beat the high maintenance
Speaker 2: like ooh.
Speaker 1: I have known tuned vegetarians in my life that both
Speaker 1: started eating meat again because they started feeling weak and
Speaker 1: the doctor told him you're not getting enough iron, you
Speaker 1: need to eat some meat.
Speaker 2: They're like hukay had I had dinner with a dear
Speaker 2: friend who's a vegetarian actually two days ago, and his
Speaker 2: wife graciously made chicken because she knows Drew and Iron Connorforce.
Speaker 2: So and he picked up a piece of the chicken
Speaker 2: and he brought it to his nose and he looked
Speaker 2: over at me and he goes, I can smell the death.
Speaker 1: And I went, okay, stop there, I can smell the death. Fantastic.
Speaker 1: Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts. Me let's get a
Speaker 1: final thought for I never can remember what we technical director.
Speaker 1: That's what we call you, our technical director. Michael Angelo. Well,
Speaker 1: tomorrow I turned fifty. Do you really I do? Oh wow?
Speaker 1: So aa birthday?
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, but it means aarp walk in tubs.
Speaker 1: Matt Locke reruns here. Ike, how old were you when
Speaker 1: you first started working on the show? Twenty five? You
Speaker 1: were twenty five. You're like a kid when you started
Speaker 1: working on the show. Now you're I remember you know
Speaker 1: Pat Walsh, our friend Pat Walsh. He brought this up
Speaker 1: to me when I turned fifty. He said, do you
Speaker 1: remember years ago? Jack saying, when you're fifty year old? No,
Speaker 1: matter what anybody says, you're filing your fifty year old.
Speaker 1: And I do remember saying that to him when I
Speaker 1: was like thirty five. So I don't know if you
Speaker 1: feel that way, but I think it's true. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a big one. Yeah, all right, here's a final thought
Speaker 1: from Katie Green. Well, first of all, happy birthday, Michael.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: I'll get you some Belcrow shoes and jack. Since you
Speaker 2: are m seeing the dog event, I am wearing my
Speaker 2: hat that says my dog said, you're a hoe.
Speaker 1: Oh. I I am the MC for a frisbee dog
Speaker 1: competition yesterday in which there will be many, many thousands
Speaker 1: of people looking forward. It's going to be a beautiful day.
Speaker 1: That'll be a lot of fun. I am. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to read up on the rules and all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff, so I probably should have some idea how
Speaker 1: the whole thing works. And you will be wearing a
Speaker 1: cone of shame. Yeah, I'm gonna wear a cone. I
Speaker 1: think that's funny. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling
Speaker 1: four hour workday. What a week of news with the
Speaker 1: tariffs on and off and all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: And probably got another week of that coming up next week. Anyway,
Speaker 1: if you missed any part of the show you'd like
Speaker 1: to catch, you can find our podcast, Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: on demand wherever podcasts are given away. If you need
Speaker 1: anything else, go to our website Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 1: We will see a Monday. God plus America.
Speaker 5: Armstrong and Getty is an untredictable beast.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with you for being like this. I
Speaker 1: was wondering you know what you felt about that they
Speaker 1: look like two people that like each other.
Speaker 7: You don't believe that, and listen, come, we'll just leave
Speaker 7: it there on this Friday morning.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bye, Bye, a great Friday you Mother, Armstrong and
Speaker 2: Geddy
