WEBVTT - The A&G Wednesday Replay Hour Two 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.440 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:25.840 Arms Strong and Gette and He Armstrong and Gutty Strong. 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.480 This is The Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:35.240 One More Thing, Get it wherever you like to get podcasts. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.919 I saw an article in New York Times about the 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.920 Final Dead shows happening in San Francisco over the weekend. 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.320 They played Friday, Saturday, Sunday night final shows of their tour. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.760 They said there's chances they'll get back together again for 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.760 a benefit or something, but they're never going to tour again, 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.640 they claim. I don't think they probably actually are. They've 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.000 made that claim many times over the years. They're very old. Yeah, 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.120 Bubbweer's like Joe Biden old and I noticed him well 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.800 he was as an adult during the Summer of Love 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.280 in nineteen sixty seven. Yeah, that's one of the things 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.959 I want to bring up with this phenomenon. So, speaking 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.720 of it being a phenomenon, one of the reasons I 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.760 went was, it's a phenomenon. I haven't been to a 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.120 concert in I think fifteen years, so it had been 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.360 a long time. So I'd been to a concert and 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.200 Dead and Company was coming to the area. It's sixty 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.800 miles from my house, and I kind of thought about 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.360 it a couple of times. Then I looked at prices. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.120 They're too high. Anyway, I finally decided, you know what, 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.000 I'm going to do it. So I bought a ticket 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.520 two hours before, three hours before the show started, hopped 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:40.040 on my motorcycle, rode into San Francisco to the baseball line, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.520 and and didn't even pay a ton for it. Luckily, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.119 I think people started to panic. Some of the people 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.160 that had put I'll say you one for eight thousand 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.120 dollars for starting to panic if they had some left, 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.600 so it didn't get a bad price. Anyway, I was 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.680 trying to figure out while I was sitting there in 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.040 the concert, I was trying to figure out, what is 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.680 the phenomenon of the whole grateful Dead thing. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.760 You mentioned. They've been doing this for. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.200 Fifty five years, fifty seven years something like that, with 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.720 only a couple of exceptions. Every song they play is 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.200 fifty plus years old. They haven't created, they haven't created 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:19.919 anything new and forever, and the crowd and the place, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.480 I don't know if it was sold out, but I 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.880 didn't see any empty seats up in the stands. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.400 The crowd varied. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.000 There were lots of twenty somethings, there were lots of 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.040 thirty somethings, forty something, fifty something, sixty something, seventy somethings, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.520 every age group there, and. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.919 I don't know what they created or why. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.520 I just I was just looking around, trying to take 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.079 it all in, trying to figure out what what happened here? 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.560 Why has nobody else ever been able to do this. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.760 I remember when we were in Charlotte. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:53.400 North Carolina, the Grateful Dead came through in the mid nineties, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.200 and I didn't know anything about the Grateful Dead. I've 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.480 never really been into the Grateful Dead. They came through town, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:58.880 and I didn't go to the concert. I was at 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.520 a party that night at a house, and a number 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.079 of people had been to the Dead concert and they 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.120 This is pre internet, So in the Internet era, obviously 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.080 you can go online and check what the set list 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.760 is for every concert and they would be posted as 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:14.160 soon as the. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:14.720 Concert is over. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.440 But this is before the internet, so these guys would 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.560 run home and some of them took scraps of paper 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.119 and pens with them. Some of them are just using 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.440 their knowledge and they're sitting there at the kitchen table 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.520 at this party saying, okay, so what did they play 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:26.840 first set? 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.160 Well, they opened with this, open with that. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.800 They writing it all down, They kept the log of 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.920 all the concerts they'd seen in the set list in 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:33.359 a way. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.960 That just I don't think happens that often with bands. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.800 Part of it is they don't play that many songs 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.720 because each song is thirteen to fifteen minutes long. So 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.440 you play like four songs, take a break, play four 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.120 more songs, and your three hours are up. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.720 That's one weird aspect of the whole thing. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.720 The other thing is they don't come out and say 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.640 a word, and never have, according to the New York Times, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.120 they don't say, hey, Atlanta, good to be here. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.360 There is one from the new while, you know, thanks 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.360 for coming, or nothing. They don't see it. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:04.520 Now. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.280 They wander out and start playing. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.160 The wonder if start playing, and when they're done, they 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.840 walk off and that's it. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.600 And and from the beginning. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.920 Another interesting thing is they've always encouraged people recording it 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.760 and posting live recordings, and they got gazillions alive albums 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.200 and just well, do you tell me what is different 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.720 about that band that allowed them to tour for fifty 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.479 some years. I was just looking up still one of 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.360 the top grossing concert tours out there. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.800 They didn't play that many shows, but they're making. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:40.480 Gazillions of dollars, Yeah, in ticket sales and T shirt sales. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:41.000 And everything like that. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.760 Oh and one more thing before I let you you 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.360 answer the question, because you know more about it than 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.680 I do. So they walk out, they start playing, and 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.479 it's got a drum beat to it that I don't 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.320 quite recognize off the top of my head, because all 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.520 the songs kind of have a similar drum beat and 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.440 a similar thing, and everybody's twirling. All the girls are 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.040 twirling and thing, and then everybody's danced everything like that. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.080 Not a single person in that stadium that I saw 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.640 sat for one second three and a half hours. I've 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.400 never been to a concert like that. I've been to 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.600 plenty of concerts with people stand for the big hits, 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.400 then sit back down for a slow song or whatever. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.440 Not a person I was expecting to get to sit 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.240 for a while. None of that happened. So they do 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.680 the drum beat, drumbeat, and they opened with the Buddy 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:23.720 Holly song that they do. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:28.120 Regularly, probably not fade away. Yeah yeah, And so. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.640 Then the drum, the drum stop, and then the whole 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.080 crowd in Unison. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.120 Says I'm gonna tell you what I'm. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.400 Gonna do it, and then everybody saying every word to 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.560 every song for three and a half hours, never said down. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.800 I've never seen anything like that. Why is that? You 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:43.800 tell me why that is? 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.360 I'm sure there are multiple books written to address that 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.280 very question, and they are book length, as books often are. 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.919 I would say, I mean number one. At the beginning, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.280 they were just a whale of a band. I mean, 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.640 just a terrific band that was incredible. Well, you know, 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.320 there's a couple of sayings among musicians ragged but right 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.279 or loose but tight. They had a combination of being 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:15.920 extremely good and extremely loose and improvisational and and really 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.920 fun music to listen to if you're stoned. Plus, they 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:25.360 have a weird like hippie community thing going like, we're 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.040 all here, we're all friends, nobody's gonna get ugly, it's 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.120 gonna be great. Everybody's gonna enjoy themselves, nobody's gonna judge 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.359 anybody else. We're gonna listen to the jams and have 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.799 a great time, you know there, And there are actually 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.520 other bands that have it, you just don't hear about 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.640 it as much. Fish has an enormous following that's very grateful, deadlike, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.320 and there are a couple others Dave Matthew's band. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.760 Surely, but not on that scale for that long without 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:50.719 ever putting any nose. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.760 Well, no, no, that's what's just like you. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.800 And how do you grow new fans in their twenties 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.400 with fifty five year old songs? 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.239 I mean it's I don't know, well, part. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.840 Of it's that the songs hold up pretty well and 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.320 it's a jam. Part of it's just there's an attraction 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.720 to being part of that that draws young people. The 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.640 whole i'm a hippie thing is hot amongst your your 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.840 twenty somethings, at least in some quarters. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.440 Oregon for instance, right, oh yeah. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.360 The people sitting next to me were from Oregon and 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.720 they were going to all three shows. Everybody around me 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.480 was going to all three shows. I was the only 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.160 one that was just going to the one show. And 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.320 it was a mom and dad roughly my age, with 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.480 their high school kids. They brought all their kids, and 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.240 their kids knew all the words every song. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.440 I don't know. It's unlike anything I've ever been around. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:46.000 I've been to. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.720 I got plenty of acts that I like that do 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.760 that on a smaller scale, like there's several hundred people 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:57.080 that are that into it, but not hundreds of thousands 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.000 for six decades. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.920 It's just yeah, I don't And then I wonder how. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.200 Much of it was it like grew on itself, like 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.600 you know, becomes a thing, and a thing is that 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.880 it's nothing draws a cround like a crowd, that whole. 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.640 Thing, right, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:19.120 It's it's such an attractive like vibe, an attractive corner 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.960 of human kind that people who weren't there at the beginning, 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.800 or if you know, they didn't grow up with the 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.880 songs or whatever. Just the idea that that many people 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.760 could get together and have their energy be so positive 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.640 and a lack of conflict and a lack of people 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.000 being a holes like people tend to be, and listening 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.960 to the music and dancing and stuff. It's just it's 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:44.440 an attractive proposition and you know why, you know why, 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.840 it's it's on a scale that nobody else has ever matched. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:48.600 I don't know. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.880 It's it's it's hard, it's magic, it's culture, it's a vibe. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.240 I thought, at some point, surely we're going to sit 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.240 down during one of these slow songs, aren't we. I mean, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.720 it's a Friday night, We've all worked all week long, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.080 we're all a little tired on a lot of you 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.800 are way older than I am. Surely Nope, nobody was 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.560 sitting down at any point, even for a moment. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.320 Well, I am a fan, I am not a dead head. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.840 I have some good friends who are here. Is my 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:19.560 horrifying Well, I'm sorry, it's my impressive, but horrifying, grateful, 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:24.120 dead claim to fame. I was at Jerry Garcia's last 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.960 show before he died in Chicago. Did you play a role? 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.520 Or many years ago? And I fell sound asleep halfway 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.120 through it? Fell asleep because I may have been over served. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.560 Fell It was well, yeah, okay, you call it what 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.240 you want. It was a very hot summer day in Chicago. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.200 Oh my god, if. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.360 Drinking beer and all getting rid of it and then 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.680 sitting there baking in the sun and Soldier Field just baking, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.360 I'm surprised that I has this all been Maybe I'm dead, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.440 Maybe I died that day and this has all been 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.679 a prolonged illucination. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:00.839 It was like. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.920 Fifty five degrees in the middle of the concert for 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.280 this one, So yeah, I didn't have that problem. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.160 Yeah you were better off, trust me. I don't know. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.680 John Mayer plays guitar with a giant winter coat on 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.520 zipped up around his ears. The way he's flip flipping phenomenal. 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.959 By the way, John Mayer is just freaking unreal. Yeah 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.720 he's a monster, but he's not happy to have it 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:22.240 come to an end. 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:22.680 I don't know. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.960 There's not much said about why they decided to wrap 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.800 it up. New York Times went deep on that over 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.920 the weekend. But I didn't notice that Bob Weir, he 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.600 would play for a while and then he would take 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.640 his hand off and shake his hand a lot. And 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.400 I hadn't seen that in videos before, because I've watched 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.719 a lot of Dead and Company videos over the last 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.160 several years. Because I just like got into it when 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.640 John Mayer joined, which I know makes me something something 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.560 uncool among. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.559 Real Dead advances. But Jerry come lately. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.719 Yeah something. But anyway, he wasn't doing that before. I 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.199 wonder if he doesn't have something that physical it's happening 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.520 and he just can't play every night like that. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.760 Handful of my favorite musicians I've had to give it 0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.840 up because arthritis. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.240 About how are. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.600 You standing up there for three and a half hours 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.080 and paying attention to what you're doing. I'm dying out 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.160 here standing for three and a half I don't know. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.240 Maybe they think about how much money they're making. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:16.600 Maybe they enjoy playing music. Listen to you, y sink, 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.959 you couldn't be a deadhead. I'm surprised you weren't drummed 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.720 out of the stadium.

And man, 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:33.920 that's a heck of a thing to pull off.

But anyway, that we then played a little 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.880 clip of Lyndon Baines Johnson, president of the United States 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:32.800 from sixty three to sixty eight, talking to his tailor 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.400 on the phone about his pants.

That nice relationship. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.960 Anyway, from small town Texas, and he's talking to his 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.839 tailor about getting a new pair of pants ordered, and 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:04.880 it sounded something like. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:10.000 This, Miss Tager, Joe Hagger, Joe is your father, the 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.080 one that makes clothes. Get there we're all together. Uh, 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:20.840 you all made me some real light weight slacks. Uh. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.200 He just made up on his own sentimental four months ago. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.800 It's a kind of a light brown and a light green, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.840 rather soft green and soft brown, and the real light weight. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.199 I need about six pairs were around in the evening 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.959 when I come in from work and I need about 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.600 a half inch too tight in the waist. 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.920 He would call it back there. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.040 That didn't wanted to want me. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.959 To get it right. Fault. You know, I don't know. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.360 You all just guessed out of my things sounded. But 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.520 once you have the measurements there for you, I can 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.840 send you a pair. I want him a half inch 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.720 larger in the waist than they were before, except I 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.000 want two or three inches of stuff left back in 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.320 there so I can take them up. I ury ten 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.400 or fifteen pounds a month. So leave me at least 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.480 two and a half thirt inches in the back where 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.320 I can let them out or take them up and 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.400 make these a half inch better in the waist, Make 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.520 the pockets at least an inch longer. Money, my money, 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:27.040 and my knife, everything fall out now, the pockets when 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.600 you sit down in the chair, the knife and your 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.440 money comes out, so I need at least another inch 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.320 in the pockets. Yeah. Now another thing with crouch down 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.080 where you hang is always a little too tight. So 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.320 when you make them up, give me an inch that 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.920 I can let out there, because they cut me. It's 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.480 just like riding a wire fence. These are almost the 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.440 best that I've had anywhere in the United States. But 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.400 when I gained a little weight, they cut me under there. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.920 So leave me. You never do have much margin that 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.160 which see if you can't leave me about it an 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:09.200 age from the word of zippering and round under my 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.880 back of up hole so I can write it out 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.280 there if I need to. Now, be sure he got 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.800 the best zippers in them. These are good that I have. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.640 And if you get those coming, I was sure be grateful. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.920 There you go, at a historical moment, actual phone call 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.040 with president of the United States, and cut me like. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.960 I'm shitting on a wire fencer. Oh. The fact don't 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:39.080 leave me my margin. You gotta have margin. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.240 The fact that he burps right before he uses the 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.920 word is my favorite part. 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.320 That is what that's one of my favorite pieces of amazing. 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:50.680 It's amazing. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.480 Oh it shows you who he was. He was from 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.600 poor Texas hill country to his bones. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.880 That's what he was uh huh right, And. 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.520 It's probably worth the tip of the cap that he 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.040 was calling the Hagar family who became, you know, one 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.720 of the great clothiers of that time of history. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:17.760 About five inches right back to my. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.120 That's the best part of not crotch, you know where money. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.960 Yeah, we know what a crotch is. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.440 The reason people use the word crotch is so they 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.720 don't have to say where you're may. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.120 Has some plain talk there can I tell you? 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.440 And if you're actually into you know, history and this 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.440 sort of stuff. The Carol book about the relationship between 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.800 LBJ and the Kennedy family is amazing because he just 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.800 heard who the guy was. That's way different than the 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:53.160 Kennedy clan, the Kennedys of Harvard. Yeah, yeah, Highenness Port 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.120 Kennedy's and their you know, golf clubs and tennis clubs 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.280 and that sort of stuff. No wonder they didn't get 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920 along with when vice versa with LBJ. 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:09.080 Oh my god, where their patrician accents and their crisp 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.280 suits and the rest of it with practically no margin 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:17.240 whether they're or banged at the time from there. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.880 Yeah, it's the same in the minimum. It's like riding 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.280 a rail fence. I mean, it's just, oh my god, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.280 something my grandfather would say. Well, that's how I gained 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.919 some weight back. And it cuts me, cuts me. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.800 Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:41.960 Show Fancy Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast One 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:42.440 more Thing. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.399 We do a new one every day.
