WEBVTT - I Can't With You

0:00:07.490 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.340
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.020
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 3>And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:29.620 --> 0:00:32.790
<v Speaker 2>From Studio C. C, senor.

0:00:32.810 --> 0:00:33.810
<v Speaker 4>It's Fri-A.

0:00:33.990 --> 0:00:34.989
<v Speaker 2>Deeper than the bowels.

0:00:35.729 --> 0:00:37.530
<v Speaker 1>The bowels, I tell you, of the Armstrong and Getty

0:00:37.570 --> 0:00:38.890
<v Speaker 1>Communications compound.

0:00:38.950 --> 0:00:41.090
<v Speaker 2>And today we are toiling under the title of the show.

0:00:41.729 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 5>New York Times discovers Democratic Party. It's a very dryly

0:00:48.300 --> 0:00:50.659
<v Speaker 5>sarcastic observation about the fact that all of a sudden

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.660
<v Speaker 5>they seem to be paying attention to some of the

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:53.700
<v Speaker 5>horrific things being.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.220
<v Speaker 2>Done on the left of the aisle. Don't kick your

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 2>dog when it comes to you.

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.790
<v Speaker 5>I'm not kicking it. Or if you prefer, don't look

0:01:00.850 --> 0:01:03.470
<v Speaker 5>at the NASDAQ. It's too scary.

0:01:04.030 --> 0:01:07.010
<v Speaker 2>That's right. That's right.

0:01:07.090 --> 0:01:08.850
<v Speaker 1>Good job with the sound effects there, Michael. It's a

0:01:08.870 --> 0:01:11.470
<v Speaker 1>special Halloween edition of the Armstrong and Giddy program.

0:01:11.690 --> 0:01:13.300
<v Speaker 5>I've been getting ready all year.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the same old show, but... Occasional scary sound effects.

0:01:18.740 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 2>Like this one. Is that the only one we have?

0:01:23.500 --> 0:01:25.910
<v Speaker 2>We only have one? We'll just repeat it all day? No,

0:01:25.970 --> 0:01:29.230
<v Speaker 2>I'll find more. That's good stuff. And we'll play the

0:01:29.250 --> 0:01:33.990
<v Speaker 2>Monster Mash as a sound bed or something. No, please no. Yeah,

0:01:34.030 --> 0:01:38.750
<v Speaker 2>I saw... I'm so glad the election is Tuesday. Because, like,

0:01:39.150 --> 0:01:41.410
<v Speaker 2>I get up in the morning. First I pray. But

0:01:41.430 --> 0:01:42.330
<v Speaker 2>then I check the headlines.

0:01:42.990 --> 0:01:43.330
<v Speaker 5>And then.

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I see several headlines that are like super interesting stories.

0:01:47.900 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh, I can't wait to, you know, learn

0:01:49.500 --> 0:01:52.340
<v Speaker 1>more about these. So flip on all the newscasts, and

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.700
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about here in Iowa, voters think gas is

0:01:54.740 --> 0:01:55.020
<v Speaker 1>too high.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:02:00.450
<v Speaker 2>You've got to be kidding me. That's so good. You've

0:02:00.510 --> 0:02:05.130
<v Speaker 2>got to be kidding me. We've moved Pennsylvania to a toss-up.

0:02:05.370 --> 0:02:08.109
<v Speaker 1>Because voters think gas is too high. Because the war

0:02:08.130 --> 0:02:09.290
<v Speaker 1>in Iran, have you heard about the war in Iran

0:02:09.330 --> 0:02:10.190
<v Speaker 1>and how it affected gas?

0:02:10.500 --> 0:02:17.630
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we've discussed this. Good God. Holy crap!

0:02:18.590 --> 0:02:20.730
<v Speaker 7>How can you sit there? How do you put on

0:02:20.790 --> 0:02:24.450
<v Speaker 7>a suit or a dress to come into work and

0:02:24.530 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 7>say gas is high because of the war in Iran

0:02:27.690 --> 0:02:30.140
<v Speaker 7>and it's affecting the voting public?

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.660
<v Speaker 2>How do you do that every day for two months? Oh,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>they're so proud of themselves.

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 5>They go off to their fancy cocktail gatherings and that

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.910
<v Speaker 5>was an unfortunate expression I almost used and gratify each other.

0:02:45.150 --> 0:02:49.570
<v Speaker 1>For their wonderfulness. The NASDAQ going down because of AI?

0:02:49.610 --> 0:02:52.429
<v Speaker 1>Did the AI bubble burst? Interesting story. Be worth, you know,

0:02:52.450 --> 0:02:54.510
<v Speaker 1>talking to some experts on that as opposed to the

0:02:54.550 --> 0:02:59.090
<v Speaker 1>fact that, you know, whatever, same old, same old about

0:02:59.110 --> 0:03:01.050
<v Speaker 1>the elections. Also, this story, and I don't want to

0:03:01.070 --> 0:03:04.830
<v Speaker 1>steal Katie's best headlines, but this one, this is what

0:03:04.870 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you've been worried about for a long time with the

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.380
<v Speaker 1>world of AI and everything. The world's largest crypto exchange, Binance,

0:03:11.419 --> 0:03:14.989
<v Speaker 1>which sounds like A typo or a speech impediment?

0:03:15.530 --> 0:03:17.850
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it does. I bought my money on Binance.

0:03:18.310 --> 0:03:21.730
<v Speaker 5>Sounds like buckwheat from the Little Rascals cartoons of old.

0:03:21.790 --> 0:03:23.169
<v Speaker 2>I guess they weren't cartoons. They were shorts.

0:03:23.290 --> 0:03:27.250
<v Speaker 1>Hackers stole more than $ 6 billion before they shut it down.

0:03:27.270 --> 0:03:28.710
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't worry about it.

0:03:28.950 --> 0:03:33.269
<v Speaker 1>Biggest hack ever from the biggest crypto company in the world.

0:03:33.270 --> 0:03:34.130
<v Speaker 2>$ 6 billion.

0:03:33.910 --> 0:03:35.810
<v Speaker 1>Before they pulled all the levers and unplugged it or

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.090
<v Speaker 1>whatever so they couldn't steal anymore.

0:03:37.630 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 5>And one might assume that the folks at Binance are

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.300
<v Speaker 5>pretty good technically. Maybe they're really interested in preventing hacks.

0:03:44.500 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 5>I didn't even think about that. They probably have the

0:03:46.820 --> 0:03:49.740
<v Speaker 5>best people in the world on that job. Of course,

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 5>I didn't find that coverage of that story anywhere because

0:03:51.940 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 5>they're talking.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>About voters think the price of gas is too high.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump is a undertow. Being a hypocrite, let me say this.

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think Trump canceled his rallies? I'm very

0:04:08.820 --> 0:04:10.470
<v Speaker 1>aware of it just because he was doing one in

0:04:11.530 --> 0:04:13.410
<v Speaker 1>Small town in Kansas where I have family and friends

0:04:13.430 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and they were all a flutter, either excited or not

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.060
<v Speaker 1>excited because.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.700
<v Speaker 2>One of them was going to a wedding. I think

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>they got planned.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just like all the roads are going to be

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.940
<v Speaker 1>closed and all the just everything was going to be

0:04:23.980 --> 0:04:24.820
<v Speaker 1>out of control with Trump.

0:04:25.380 --> 0:04:28.659
<v Speaker 2>Being in town to give a speech. But he canceled them.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:29.940
<v Speaker 2>And do you know why?

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.730
<v Speaker 5>Well, didn't Halpern say it was because the race was

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.630
<v Speaker 5>looking very, very bad and there was no point in

0:04:35.670 --> 0:04:36.170
<v Speaker 5>him being there?

0:04:36.450 --> 0:04:38.849
<v Speaker 1>That's what Halpern said. I haven't heard anybody else say that,

0:04:38.910 --> 0:04:43.250
<v Speaker 1>although he has good inside sources. In both campaigns. So

0:04:43.430 --> 0:04:46.190
<v Speaker 1>he would be saying that because Republican sources told him

0:04:46.230 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that not because the Democrats told him that that their

0:04:48.380 --> 0:04:49.740
<v Speaker 1>internal polling says it's not worth it.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.660
<v Speaker 2>Now, MSM said the opposite. But, you know, it's the

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.180
<v Speaker 2>political season. People say, well, you can't blame him for

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>that one. What is he supposed to say? It's a

0:04:57.860 --> 0:04:58.340
<v Speaker 2>lost cause.

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 5>No, he said he's doing great out there, so we

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 5>decided we were better off coming over here.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:04.979
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's not going to say, as a lost cause.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm so far behind, why even do a rally? I've

0:05:06.670 --> 0:05:11.070
<v Speaker 1>got other things to do. But now, MSNBC, and granted

0:05:11.130 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it's MSNBC, but they said... They've talked to people who

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.620
<v Speaker 1>have data showing that Trump is doing more harm than

0:05:20.700 --> 0:05:25.700
<v Speaker 1>good in certain areas by bringing the candidate up on stage, which.

0:05:25.740 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I could believe is true.

0:05:27.020 --> 0:05:30.700
<v Speaker 1>He's got the lowest approval rating any modern president has

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.190
<v Speaker 1>had going into a midterm. It's possible that you get

0:05:34.250 --> 0:05:37.310
<v Speaker 1>a negative effect when Trump brings the candidate up some places,

0:05:37.350 --> 0:05:39.330
<v Speaker 1>not everywhere, certainly, but some places.

0:05:39.730 --> 0:05:44.630
<v Speaker 5>Especially in farm country, diesel prices, which you've alluded to. Evidently,

0:05:44.690 --> 0:05:46.310
<v Speaker 5>that's some sort of factor in the election.

0:05:46.330 --> 0:05:46.590
<v Speaker 1>Wait a second.

0:05:46.610 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>We have breaking news. Breaking news, Donkey Michael. Diesel prices

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 2>are high, and it's affecting voters.

0:05:52.779 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 7>Oh, no.

0:05:53.100 --> 0:05:55.740
<v Speaker 5>See, that's donkey abuse. You're bringing him out. That was

0:05:55.820 --> 0:05:58.190
<v Speaker 5>sarcastic donkey use. We don't permit that.

0:05:58.790 --> 0:06:02.550
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Brandon. Ironic donkey use. That's my new band. We're

0:06:02.570 --> 0:06:04.990
<v Speaker 2>playing tonight. Friday night. We're going to wear Halloween costumes.

0:06:05.330 --> 0:06:06.669
<v Speaker 2>We don't have any songs.

0:06:06.690 --> 0:06:08.510
<v Speaker 5>We've never rehearsed, but we're going to get up there,

0:06:08.540 --> 0:06:11.380
<v Speaker 5>and by God, we're going to play fast. Yeah, and

0:06:11.580 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 5>the tariffs have been really tough on farm country, too.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.460
<v Speaker 5>Complicated trade relationships with Canada, et cetera.

0:06:16.500 --> 0:06:18.460
<v Speaker 2>Et cetera. So, yeah, that theory's not crazy.

0:06:18.820 --> 0:06:21.339
<v Speaker 5>Of course, that's the same network that brought us Kash

0:06:21.380 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 5>Patel has just landed in Moscow when he was like,

0:06:26.260 --> 0:06:29.950
<v Speaker 5>you know, 20 minutes away down the highway.

0:06:31.310 --> 0:06:33.470
<v Speaker 1>Is Trump the kind of guy that you could keep

0:06:33.510 --> 0:06:35.530
<v Speaker 1>him out of your state if you showed him polling

0:06:35.570 --> 0:06:38.210
<v Speaker 1>data that said, yeah, I think like the last rally

0:06:38.230 --> 0:06:40.150
<v Speaker 1>you did actually hurt the.

0:06:40.110 --> 0:06:42.470
<v Speaker 2>Candidate, bringing him out, having him stand next to you?

0:06:43.010 --> 0:06:44.630
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that. I don't know that he would.

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.220
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's anybody that would tell him that.

0:06:48.380 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 5>I was going to say, if I'm Trump's aide who

0:06:49.900 --> 0:06:53.020
<v Speaker 5>has to keep him off the stage, I would make

0:06:53.060 --> 0:06:53.550
<v Speaker 5>something up.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:06:54.860 --> 0:06:56.820
<v Speaker 5>I would say, no, he's so solid, we'd be wasting

0:06:56.860 --> 0:07:00.980
<v Speaker 5>our time, sir. Let's go a little closer to home instead.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But these teletown halls that he's going to do from

0:07:03.870 --> 0:07:07.950
<v Speaker 1>his golf club, they're not going to do anything.

0:07:08.029 --> 0:07:08.250
<v Speaker 5>Are they?

0:07:09.130 --> 0:07:09.710
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.580
<v Speaker 5>Is that, I mean, seriously, because you're so hungry to

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.750
<v Speaker 5>see Trump on a screen because it's such a rare pleasure.

0:07:20.170 --> 0:07:22.830
<v Speaker 5>You're going to show up for a teletown hall where

0:07:22.890 --> 0:07:25.870
<v Speaker 5>he will mention your state specifically and some politician from

0:07:25.890 --> 0:07:29.030
<v Speaker 5>your state. I can't imagine being that excited about that.

0:07:29.250 --> 0:07:31.210
<v Speaker 1>Like the town in Kansas he was going to, this

0:07:31.250 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>is a funny story because I know somebody there. See,

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.260
<v Speaker 1>I'm from a world, well, some of you are too

0:07:37.310 --> 0:07:39.790
<v Speaker 1>are listening because we're on stations all across the country.

0:07:39.830 --> 0:07:41.770
<v Speaker 1>You're from the same world I grew up in where

0:07:41.810 --> 0:07:44.930
<v Speaker 1>the idea of seeing a celebrity of any level in

0:07:44.990 --> 0:07:47.770
<v Speaker 1>person is just not, it's never going to happen in

0:07:47.790 --> 0:07:50.300
<v Speaker 1>your lifetime. And you don't know anybody who's ever seen

0:07:50.330 --> 0:07:53.020
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity in person. Whereas you can live in big

0:07:53.060 --> 0:07:55.140
<v Speaker 1>cities or urban areas or near LA or whatever, you

0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:00.110
<v Speaker 1>see celebrities around now and then, whatever. But, like, nobody

0:08:00.150 --> 0:08:02.070
<v Speaker 1>knows who Tom Poston is, but he was like a

0:08:02.190 --> 0:08:05.250
<v Speaker 1>minor sitcom character who was on a bunch of different

0:08:05.270 --> 0:08:06.180
<v Speaker 1>shows in the 80s.

0:08:06.180 --> 0:08:09.100
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah. He was on the Newhart show. Yes, yes.

0:08:09.140 --> 0:08:09.619
<v Speaker 2>Tom Poston.

0:08:09.900 --> 0:08:11.739
<v Speaker 1>But a friend of mine who lives in Salina, Kansas,

0:08:11.780 --> 0:08:13.540
<v Speaker 1>where Trump was supposed to speak tomorrow, she used to

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.100
<v Speaker 1>brag all the time about how when she was a kid,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Tom Poston came to town for some reason and she

0:08:17.020 --> 0:08:17.540
<v Speaker 1>had seen.

0:08:18.940 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It. You know, that's funny.

0:08:19.740 --> 0:08:21.980
<v Speaker 5>I was just going to name check. Who was the

0:08:22.100 --> 0:08:28.020
<v Speaker 5>assistant guy from Tool Time? The Tim Allen show. Yeah,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.270
<v Speaker 5>the bearded guy, the fence guy. He would do a

0:08:32.290 --> 0:08:35.210
<v Speaker 5>commercial for anything for about a decade after that show.

0:08:35.410 --> 0:08:38.550
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Richard Karn. Thank you, Michael. Nice job.

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.339
<v Speaker 1>But so if you live in the kind of town

0:08:40.380 --> 0:08:43.340
<v Speaker 1>where you're still talking about Tom Poston 30 years later.

0:08:43.580 --> 0:08:45.620
<v Speaker 2>Or you can cross town to see Richard Karn at

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:46.620
<v Speaker 2>your local Lowe's.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:47.300
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:08:47.980 --> 0:08:50.059
<v Speaker 2>Trump coming to town is a really, really big deal.

0:08:50.300 --> 0:08:51.300
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about a.

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.900
<v Speaker 1>Tele-rally where you flip him on TV and it's just

0:08:55.140 --> 0:08:56.449
<v Speaker 1>another Trump on TV.

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So I guess we'll see.

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.429
<v Speaker 1>We start the show officially on Friday. We're going to

0:09:00.450 --> 0:09:02.309
<v Speaker 1>fire up the daiquiri machine here pretty soon and start

0:09:02.350 --> 0:09:03.100
<v Speaker 1>getting a little lit up.

0:09:03.530 --> 0:09:05.110
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.

0:09:05.250 --> 0:09:08.390
<v Speaker 1>On this, it is Friday, October 30, the year 2026.

0:09:08.390 --> 0:09:10.949
<v Speaker 1>We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.380
<v Speaker 5>Okay, let's begin then, officially according to FCC rules and regulations,

0:09:15.420 --> 0:09:18.540
<v Speaker 5>and what a beginning it is. Here we go, at Mark.

0:09:18.740 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 4>Whatever he's questioned about this, Al-Sayed gets very upset. He

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:30.510
<v Speaker 4>gets very unhappy. He stamps his little feet. I'm sorry,

0:09:30.550 --> 0:09:32.730
<v Speaker 4>my nickname for the guy is the Johnist Leprechaun.

0:09:36.990 --> 0:09:40.530
<v Speaker 2>Don't question, he'll say it about his loyalty.

0:09:40.870 --> 0:09:44.350
<v Speaker 6>He'll stamp his little feet, he stamps his little feet.

0:09:44.670 --> 0:09:49.370
<v Speaker 6>He gets so mad about loyalty, he starts to feel

0:09:49.450 --> 0:09:54.290
<v Speaker 6>the heat and stomps his little feet. He's the jihadist leprechaun,

0:09:54.350 --> 0:09:58.770
<v Speaker 6>jihadist leprechaun, the jihadist leprechaun.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 8>Leprechaun.

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:07.300
<v Speaker 2>There you go. Hanson, that needs to be twice as long.

0:10:07.500 --> 0:10:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Get to work. Ignore all of your other duties. I

0:10:10.380 --> 0:10:11.860
<v Speaker 2>don't know. This is the beginning of the show. I

0:10:11.860 --> 0:10:13.100
<v Speaker 2>don't know how many of you ever hear the end

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:13.459
<v Speaker 2>of the show.

0:10:13.500 --> 0:10:15.459
<v Speaker 1>You probably intend to every day, but you get a

0:10:15.460 --> 0:10:17.359
<v Speaker 1>little ways into it and you think, ah, God, again,

0:10:17.420 --> 0:10:17.780
<v Speaker 1>I can't.

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.670
<v Speaker 2>I can't with you. And then so you don't hear

0:10:20.710 --> 0:10:20.910
<v Speaker 2>the end.

0:10:20.929 --> 0:10:23.190
<v Speaker 1>But at the end, Hanson always crafts some sort of very,

0:10:23.230 --> 0:10:24.569
<v Speaker 1>very good close off in a song.

0:10:24.590 --> 0:10:25.490
<v Speaker 2>And that was the song yesterday.

0:10:25.510 --> 0:10:26.630
<v Speaker 1>We just thought it was so good we ought to

0:10:26.670 --> 0:10:27.229
<v Speaker 1>play it again.

0:10:27.630 --> 0:10:32.230
<v Speaker 2>Stamped his little feet. He stamps his little feet. He

0:10:32.270 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>gets so mad about loyalty.

0:10:34.740 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>The Hottest Leprechaun is a pretty good nickname.

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I love it. Ted Cruz is going to run for president.

0:10:40.900 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>He's getting his game going, getting ready for it.

0:10:44.220 --> 0:10:47.710
<v Speaker 5>His snark game. His snark is big in the 21st century.

0:10:48.110 --> 0:10:51.069
<v Speaker 2>I've noticed. We've got headlines on the way, clips of

0:10:51.090 --> 0:10:54.970
<v Speaker 2>the week, lots of good stuff. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into some of the interesting stories you're about

0:10:59.940 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to hear, some of the headlines today, and not just

0:11:02.740 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>rehash the same old stupid information about the midterm that

0:11:05.380 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>thankfully is Tuesday, and then we'll move on with our lives.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I got some interesting data about midterms that I learned yesterday.

0:11:11.980 --> 0:11:12.740
<v Speaker 2>It's worth talking about.

0:11:14.380 --> 0:11:17.260
<v Speaker 5>I just researched my local school board election and learned

0:11:17.340 --> 0:11:21.260
<v Speaker 5>something that was very important. So remember, folks, remember, we've

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.010
<v Speaker 5>been talking about this for a while. District attorney, county attorney,

0:11:25.070 --> 0:11:28.050
<v Speaker 5>that sort of thing. The communists have tried to take

0:11:28.090 --> 0:11:32.130
<v Speaker 5>those offices over, and that's why there's rampant crime and

0:11:32.170 --> 0:11:33.530
<v Speaker 5>bums and junkies in a lot of places.

0:11:33.850 --> 0:11:36.650
<v Speaker 2>And school boards. Remember to look at the school boards.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead, Google the names or Bingham or whatever you want,

0:11:39.580 --> 0:11:43.580
<v Speaker 5>and see which one names equity and equitable justice and

0:11:43.620 --> 0:11:46.700
<v Speaker 5>that sort of thing. You know they're a DEI critical

0:11:46.780 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 5>theory freak trying to get on your school board, so

0:11:48.820 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 5>pay attention to that.

0:11:49.380 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Critical theory freaks.

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:51.500
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:52.059 --> 0:11:54.260
<v Speaker 5>Carry your bags to your room. Sorry, that's a really

0:11:54.340 --> 0:11:56.460
<v Speaker 5>obscure reference. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>lead story with Katie Green.

0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:57.939
<v Speaker 6>Katie.

0:11:58.360 --> 0:11:58.620
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:11:58.660 --> 0:12:03.110
<v Speaker 9>Well, all the major alphabet networks, CBS, NBC, CNN, all

0:12:03.170 --> 0:12:06.810
<v Speaker 9>going with the midterms. CBS particularly saying their news poll

0:12:06.850 --> 0:12:10.290
<v Speaker 9>finds Democrats still boosted by voters' economic concerns, but many

0:12:10.330 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 9>don't think either party has a plan.

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:13.319
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:15.260
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:12:16.100 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Let's just move on. Yes.

0:12:18.330 --> 0:12:22.730
<v Speaker 9>ABC, who pays for a $ 1 billion riot? Europe looks

0:12:22.830 --> 0:12:24.810
<v Speaker 9>past rioters to their parents.

0:12:26.210 --> 0:12:26.850
<v Speaker 2>Oh, interesting.

0:12:29.370 --> 0:12:34.650
<v Speaker 9>Wall Street Journal, Alphabet's market value drops $ 500 billion.

0:12:34.710 --> 0:12:37.630
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot. Because?

0:12:37.650 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 5>It's the AI something, something.

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.730
<v Speaker 2>The market. Chips. Computing. Computing.

0:12:49.270 --> 0:12:49.429
<v Speaker 1>Chips.

0:12:49.450 --> 0:12:50.309
<v Speaker 5>Chips. More chips.

0:12:50.730 --> 0:12:53.670
<v Speaker 9>It's the second largest crash in history, though.

0:12:54.350 --> 0:12:59.150
<v Speaker 8>In terms of dollars? Yeah, it dropped 12%. Well, percentage

0:12:59.210 --> 0:13:04.989
<v Speaker 8>is steady. Dollars is changes with inflation. Hang gone now

0:13:05.050 --> 0:13:07.150
<v Speaker 8>because it could bounce back just as easily.

0:13:07.170 --> 0:13:09.650
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, of course. It's a snapshot in time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:13:10.290 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>NASDAQ futures fell over 2%, blah, blah, blah. AI. You

0:13:15.140 --> 0:13:15.940
<v Speaker 2>guys touched on this.

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:21.540
<v Speaker 9>The Guardian, North Korean group blamed for $ 6. 3 billion Binance

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.980
<v Speaker 9>hack in biggest ever crypto heist.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I had my money in Binance and it got me back.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.050
<v Speaker 1>Binance got hacked for $ 6 billion. That is a lot.

0:13:31.650 --> 0:13:34.750
<v Speaker 2>Whoops. New York Post.

0:13:35.850 --> 0:13:41.910
<v Speaker 9>Kanye West arrived unannounced at a $ 295 million Malibu listing,

0:13:42.650 --> 0:13:44.150
<v Speaker 9>set up an office, and.

0:13:44.110 --> 0:13:47.929
<v Speaker 2>Crashed there for four days. I need to know more

0:13:47.950 --> 0:13:50.630
<v Speaker 2>about that. That sounds entertaining.

0:13:53.740 --> 0:13:59.340
<v Speaker 9>From Study Finds, music makes the brain respond more strongly

0:13:59.660 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 9>to taste.

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:08.930
<v Speaker 2>Taste food taste? As opposed to... I love that dress.

0:14:09.090 --> 0:14:13.420
<v Speaker 2>I don't. Oh, yes. Food taste. Ah, hence dinner music,

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.620
<v Speaker 2>I guess. Down through the ages.

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.260
<v Speaker 5>You know, if I'm selling a house, I want to

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 5>get back to the Malibu thing. If I'm selling a

0:14:21.860 --> 0:14:23.330
<v Speaker 5>house for what? How much?

0:14:23.990 --> 0:14:26.550
<v Speaker 2>A crazy amount of money? $ 295 million.

0:14:27.030 --> 0:14:29.090
<v Speaker 5>And Kanye shows up. He says, I like this house.

0:14:29.130 --> 0:14:30.530
<v Speaker 5>I want to buy this house. I want to try

0:14:30.570 --> 0:14:34.540
<v Speaker 5>it out first. I'm like, Okay, I guess. Yeah, I

0:14:34.580 --> 0:14:35.110
<v Speaker 5>think you'd love him.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm sleeping here tonight. Because he could afford it.

0:14:37.180 --> 0:14:37.260
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>He could afford it, so you might as well. Yeah,

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it's very odd, but let's see how it goes. And finally,

0:14:46.020 --> 0:14:47.300
<v Speaker 2>the Babylon Bee.

0:14:48.350 --> 0:14:52.690
<v Speaker 9>DHS agents seize Ilana Omar's phone, but decide to let

0:14:52.730 --> 0:14:53.650
<v Speaker 9>her keep her pager.

0:14:55.110 --> 0:14:58.590
<v Speaker 2>Oh, no. Wait a minute. It took me a minute.

0:14:58.630 --> 0:15:01.450
<v Speaker 2>I'm trolling. Your man tied that joke. That joke was

0:15:01.510 --> 0:15:01.870
<v Speaker 2>out of bounds.

0:15:03.010 --> 0:15:06.190
<v Speaker 1>We got Ilhan Omar news for you a little bit later.

0:15:06.820 --> 0:15:11.140
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was an interesting headline. Pope Leo is

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the first pope in history to vote in a U.S. election,

0:15:13.580 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, because, yeah, he'd be a U.S. citizen, and

0:15:15.580 --> 0:15:17.460
<v Speaker 1>he is because he's from the United States. I assume

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.980
<v Speaker 1>he writes in Jesus on every ballot.

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't he? He should.

0:15:21.260 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>If he's any good at poping, he would. Everything from,

0:15:23.340 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>as you were mentioning, school board all the way up to,

0:15:25.260 --> 0:15:25.780
<v Speaker 1>you know, U.S.

0:15:25.820 --> 0:15:26.780
<v Speaker 2>Senator. Jesus.

0:15:26.900 --> 0:15:27.100
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:15:27.220 --> 0:15:32.030
<v Speaker 2>Jesus. H. Christ. Write that in. Wow, that's not a thing.

0:15:32.830 --> 0:15:37.410
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, the reference to New York Times discovers Democratic

0:15:37.470 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Party was, A, the Dan Sullivan fakery story, which they

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.540
<v Speaker 5>broke to their credit, and now they're admitting that, you know,

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 5>way back in the Obama administration, they're looking at Ilhan

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.470
<v Speaker 5>Omar saying, her quote-unquote husband seems to be her brother.

0:15:51.510 --> 0:15:54.230
<v Speaker 5>What the hell is going on here? But they didn't

0:15:54.270 --> 0:15:58.660
<v Speaker 5>really pursue it much. And those charges have been around

0:15:58.700 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 5>for a while. Just everybody's like, I don't want to

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:01.180
<v Speaker 5>deal with this.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:01.500
<v Speaker 2>Do you?

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:01.860
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:16:01.980 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:16:02.860 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, she's an America hater, and she would proudly say that.

0:16:06.660 --> 0:16:09.210
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not like it's a secret.

0:16:10.890 --> 0:16:13.810
<v Speaker 2>In her heart, she's a Somali. Right.

0:16:14.770 --> 0:16:17.490
<v Speaker 1>So that's annoying and everything, and I wish she wasn't

0:16:17.510 --> 0:16:23.380
<v Speaker 1>in the government. But all this stuff about... Or whether

0:16:23.410 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>she's a legal citizen. What is that? Is that just

0:16:28.380 --> 0:16:32.900
<v Speaker 1>to enforce the law? How many million people do we

0:16:32.940 --> 0:16:36.310
<v Speaker 1>have that would fit that description? Oh, therefore suspend the law?

0:16:36.330 --> 0:16:40.310
<v Speaker 1>Literally like 15 to 20 million people that would fit

0:16:40.350 --> 0:16:43.470
<v Speaker 1>the description of being here illegally. Isn't it kind of

0:16:43.650 --> 0:16:46.390
<v Speaker 1>odd to have a drip, drip, drip everyday story about

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:54.790
<v Speaker 1>one of them? Well, okay, I admire your principled stand there, St.

0:16:54.850 --> 0:16:55.770
<v Speaker 1>Jack of Assisi.

0:16:56.130 --> 0:16:58.610
<v Speaker 5>On the other hand, you have an America-hating jihadi who

0:16:58.630 --> 0:17:00.710
<v Speaker 5>committed immigration fraud to get into the country.

0:17:00.970 --> 0:17:04.630
<v Speaker 2>I say heave her ass out. Simple as that. We'll

0:17:04.650 --> 0:17:06.869
<v Speaker 2>deal with the other 15 million of you in a second.

0:17:06.890 --> 0:17:08.190
<v Speaker 2>Hold still. Stand in line.

0:17:08.210 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, so we've got updates on all those stories

0:17:11.100 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and clips of the week on this special Halloween edition

0:17:14.140 --> 0:17:15.100
<v Speaker 1>of the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:16.980 --> 0:17:21.170
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. Oh, another big headline.

0:17:21.190 --> 0:17:23.550
<v Speaker 1>By the way, it's Halloween, the Halloween episode of the

0:17:23.590 --> 0:17:24.810
<v Speaker 1>show Swirl in Costume.

0:17:26.330 --> 0:17:28.149
<v Speaker 2>I'm George Washington every year. Every year I wear the

0:17:28.170 --> 0:17:30.619
<v Speaker 2>George Washington outfit. I just, I like it. I like it.

0:17:31.770 --> 0:17:36.609
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm dressed as the gulf between the consumer price

0:17:36.670 --> 0:17:39.590
<v Speaker 5>index and the rise in wages, and nobody's getting it.

0:17:40.390 --> 0:17:43.210
<v Speaker 2>Can't you see it's a graph? Well, I don't know.

0:17:43.230 --> 0:17:44.450
<v Speaker 2>If you don't get it, you don't get it.

0:17:44.670 --> 0:17:48.420
<v Speaker 1>The gulf between rising wages and Yeah, that's a complicated cost.

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.530
<v Speaker 1>Consumer price index. One of the stories we haven't mentioned

0:17:51.550 --> 0:17:55.390
<v Speaker 1>yet with tomorrow, you know, lots of college guys will

0:17:55.410 --> 0:17:57.469
<v Speaker 1>be bashing their heads into each other. And then on Sunday,

0:17:57.550 --> 0:18:00.189
<v Speaker 1>professionals will be bashing their heads into each other. The

0:18:00.250 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 1>latest study on CTE in the NFL. Whoa, that's some

0:18:03.930 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>rough data. I can't believe we even continue with this, actually,

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.220
<v Speaker 1>if that. Well, anyway, more on that coming up in

0:18:10.260 --> 0:18:10.500
<v Speaker 1>a second.

0:18:11.750 --> 0:18:12.369
<v Speaker 2>Yes, indeed.

0:18:12.850 --> 0:18:15.850
<v Speaker 5>Much more coming up, so stay with us. We failed

0:18:16.310 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 5>to consider what we wanted to do next, didn't we?

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:19.020
<v Speaker 2>Michael?

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh, no!

0:18:22.020 --> 0:18:22.899
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no!

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.659
<v Speaker 2>No, mental block. You know, I knew it was going

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:25.460
<v Speaker 2>to be a good day.

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.470
<v Speaker 5>I was up all night getting my costume ready, and

0:18:28.550 --> 0:18:29.580
<v Speaker 5>still nobody gets it.

0:18:30.810 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Damn it. Stop snapping at me.

0:18:33.290 --> 0:18:35.669
<v Speaker 1>He's up at 2 in the morning getting his Halloween

0:18:35.710 --> 0:18:36.550
<v Speaker 1>costume together.

0:18:36.590 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Happy Halloween, Katie. Suddenly refreshed. This is great.

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.419
<v Speaker 1>Michael's dressed as Lake America, which is also a concept costume.

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a little hard to tell what it is.

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:45.199
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it really is.

0:18:45.220 --> 0:18:51.980
<v Speaker 2>I'm a tariff. Katie's a tariff. A hot tariff. Because

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 2>if you're a woman, you've got to dress as a

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.450
<v Speaker 2>very typical lover. Right, slutty tariff. All right, I forgot.

0:18:56.510 --> 0:18:57.250
<v Speaker 2>All right, leave me alone.

0:18:57.690 --> 0:18:59.969
<v Speaker 5>It's the Friday tradition. Let's take a fun look back

0:19:00.010 --> 0:19:01.890
<v Speaker 5>at the week that was. It's Cal Clips of the Week.

0:19:03.450 --> 0:19:12.620
<v Speaker 3>Things get weird. Things get strange. This whole world is

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.820
<v Speaker 3>so deranged. This is Cal Clips.

0:19:17.460 --> 0:19:25.050
<v Speaker 2>Of the Week. I'm sorry, who are you? I'm Liberty Bibberty.

0:19:26.030 --> 0:19:30.230
<v Speaker 2>We are wicked glad you're here. I'm a little like baffled.

0:19:30.470 --> 0:19:33.220
<v Speaker 7>So they literally kicking him out of this place because

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:33.900
<v Speaker 7>he's good at soccer.

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You white lady. I'm as angry as you are. Get

0:19:39.140 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>out of my face.

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.770
<v Speaker 7>Because I'm done with this conversation.

0:19:43.770 --> 0:19:47.510
<v Speaker 2>Back up, Ambassador. Back away. This isn't Havana.

0:19:47.510 --> 0:19:49.670
<v Speaker 8>I'm suspending the meeting.

0:19:49.670 --> 0:19:51.820
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to intimidate me. I'm suspending this meeting.

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.100
<v Speaker 2>Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is America.

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:59.139
<v Speaker 3>Do you consider that Cuba is a dictatorship?

0:19:59.500 --> 0:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, that is what people have told me. We

0:20:02.940 --> 0:20:11.100
<v Speaker 2>have to set that $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians. He said, yeah, absolutely.

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist? You're

0:20:14.710 --> 0:20:16.889
<v Speaker 2>going to pull that out of context. You're going to

0:20:16.930 --> 0:20:18.770
<v Speaker 2>ask questions about my allegiance. Let me just be clear.

0:20:18.890 --> 0:20:21.030
<v Speaker 2>This is Roger's campaign. I'm just asking you about that.

0:20:21.090 --> 0:20:24.410
<v Speaker 2>Don't be Roger's campaign. He stamps his little feet.

0:20:25.010 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, my nickname for the guy is the Johnis Leprechaun.

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.500
<v Speaker 2>I looked at his ass, and I've never done that

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.300
<v Speaker 2>with a man before. It's true. There's gold everywhere. What's

0:20:39.380 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>up with the gold?

0:20:40.540 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 5>He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened

0:20:43.260 --> 0:20:44.750
<v Speaker 5>a cheesecake factory.

0:20:46.070 --> 0:20:48.270
<v Speaker 1>The staffer for Peltola was asked in the summer of

0:20:48.270 --> 0:20:51.710
<v Speaker 1>2025 to find as many people named Dan Sullivan as

0:20:51.750 --> 0:20:52.170
<v Speaker 1>you can.

0:20:53.820 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 9>Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.

0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah!

0:21:03.170 --> 0:21:08.330
<v Speaker 2>Unshakable, unstoppable, and champions at last.

0:21:08.350 --> 0:21:11.550
<v Speaker 3>You're the first ever Milwaukee Brewer team to be world champ.

0:21:13.910 --> 0:21:16.930
<v Speaker 2>I'm so blessed. I owe it all to my Heavenly Father.

0:21:18.350 --> 0:21:19.030
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 9>That was Cal.

0:21:21.630 --> 0:21:23.300
<v Speaker 2>Clips of the Week.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>So on the plethora of Dan Sullivan's, or is it

0:21:33.180 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>there's the plural Sullivan?

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:35.340
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.090
<v Speaker 1>Do we feel like the market should decide on this?

0:21:41.109 --> 0:21:43.450
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't think it should be against the law.

0:21:43.970 --> 0:21:46.590
<v Speaker 1>If one party decides, let's go find a bunch of

0:21:46.630 --> 0:21:48.629
<v Speaker 1>people at the same name as our opponent and see

0:21:48.650 --> 0:21:49.770
<v Speaker 1>if we can encourage him to run.

0:21:49.790 --> 0:21:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Why would that be against the law? It's in adjudicable.

0:21:54.300 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>There's no role in the legal system.

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 5>To adjudicate whether this guy was sincere or not about

0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:03.060
<v Speaker 5>wanting to run for the Senate.

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.020
<v Speaker 2>It's a silly question. Let the marketplace decide. I agree completely.

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think he will.

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.340
<v Speaker 5>Oh, my God, you're going to insult our intelligence like that?

0:22:11.380 --> 0:22:13.570
<v Speaker 5>You're going to pull a trick that childish and dirty

0:22:13.590 --> 0:22:15.970
<v Speaker 5>to win the election? You've got no business in the Senate,

0:22:16.330 --> 0:22:17.389
<v Speaker 5>saith the people of.

0:22:17.470 --> 0:22:18.830
<v Speaker 2>Alaska, perhaps.

0:22:19.230 --> 0:22:21.449
<v Speaker 1>I have thoughts on that, but I didn't want to

0:22:21.490 --> 0:22:23.910
<v Speaker 1>talk midterms again just right here. I wanted to mention

0:22:23.950 --> 0:22:26.850
<v Speaker 1>this just because at some point I think this is

0:22:26.869 --> 0:22:30.130
<v Speaker 1>going to be a big deal. Brain disease more pervasive

0:22:30.170 --> 0:22:33.190
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL than they even thought before, new study suggests.

0:22:33.210 --> 0:22:35.510
<v Speaker 1>So you remember a couple of years back, they did

0:22:35.550 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a study of a bunch of NFL players that had died.

0:22:39.410 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And of those that had died between 2008 and 2023, 25%

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 1>of them had CTE. And that was seen as a

0:22:48.260 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>huge deal. A quarter of them have CTE. This, you know,

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.670
<v Speaker 1>should we even be playing football? Kids, blah, blah, blah.

0:22:52.690 --> 0:22:54.369
<v Speaker 1>The whole conversation. We had it right here as a

0:22:54.690 --> 0:22:59.490
<v Speaker 1>talk radio classic. Well, the other 75% of deceased players

0:22:59.830 --> 0:23:03.700
<v Speaker 1>hadn't been tested. That's where they came up with the 25% number.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 1>They tested some of them, and they had it. So

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.260
<v Speaker 1>now they've deployed all kinds of techniques to get a

0:23:11.260 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>more precise number. And published yesterday, the estimate is that 75%,

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>three out of four former NFL players who died had

0:23:23.540 --> 0:23:26.260
<v Speaker 1>CTE in their brains at death.

0:23:27.100 --> 0:23:30.900
<v Speaker 2>Bashing their heads together over and over again. Some a little,

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:35.920
<v Speaker 2>some a lot. Yeah. I remember predicting.

0:23:37.490 --> 0:23:39.710
<v Speaker 1>I think I got booted off a sports talk radio

0:23:39.730 --> 0:23:40.630
<v Speaker 1>station for saying this.

0:23:41.109 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Forever. Wow, banned for life.

0:23:43.740 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I got banned for life. A host

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.620
<v Speaker 1>of a very popular talk radio show in a major

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.940
<v Speaker 1>radio market used to have me on regularly because he

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>was a fan of this show. And the CTE story

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:59.390
<v Speaker 1>was hot at the time, so it must have been 2023.

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.710
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I can't believe that high school football

0:24:03.750 --> 0:24:05.750
<v Speaker 1>is going to exist in 10 years. I just don't

0:24:05.790 --> 0:24:08.570
<v Speaker 1>see how it would be possible, given the way lawsuits

0:24:08.609 --> 0:24:10.570
<v Speaker 1>work in this country. The fact that kids can't run

0:24:10.630 --> 0:24:13.590
<v Speaker 1>on the playground if it rained that day because of lawsuits.

0:24:13.890 --> 0:24:16.730
<v Speaker 1>How in the hell is football going to continue when

0:24:17.170 --> 0:24:18.620
<v Speaker 1>you get all the data about CTE?

0:24:18.670 --> 0:24:20.780
<v Speaker 2>And I believe that. But, man, that has not occurred.

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:26.859
<v Speaker 2>That has not happened yet. Not yet. This is a

0:24:26.980 --> 0:24:27.820
<v Speaker 2>big story.

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.460
<v Speaker 5>It's getting a fair amount of attention, but more than

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:37.190
<v Speaker 5>the immediate effect, it's just, it makes the case beyond

0:24:37.290 --> 0:24:41.449
<v Speaker 5>really any argument that soon we will be confronting the

0:24:41.490 --> 0:24:44.830
<v Speaker 5>fact that football is just incredibly injurious to brains.

0:24:45.710 --> 0:24:48.129
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the tide is rising. I guess that's what

0:24:48.150 --> 0:24:50.060
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I was at a high school football game

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.120
<v Speaker 1>last night until way too late. It was an away game.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 1>We did not get home until 1130. That's pretty late

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 1>on a school night, but. I was real close to

0:24:59.960 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the field for a goal line stand. I happened to

0:25:03.500 --> 0:25:04.780
<v Speaker 1>be going to get a hot dog, and it's a

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>high school football stadium. So I was like, right there.

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.290
<v Speaker 1>And man, even with high school kids and small schools,

0:25:13.330 --> 0:25:17.110
<v Speaker 1>so it's not like these are behemoths, really, although some

0:25:17.130 --> 0:25:19.290
<v Speaker 1>of them are incredibly large. There's nobody on my high

0:25:19.310 --> 0:25:22.390
<v Speaker 1>school football team even close to that size. But kids

0:25:22.430 --> 0:25:24.590
<v Speaker 1>are just bigger, I think. We're all bigger, aren't we?

0:25:25.010 --> 0:25:28.670
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, some of the impacts, I thought, good God,

0:25:28.690 --> 0:25:30.990
<v Speaker 1>that's a hard hit, those two people smashing into each other,

0:25:31.070 --> 0:25:33.370
<v Speaker 1>or those four people smashing into each other. I mean,

0:25:33.490 --> 0:25:38.780
<v Speaker 1>just two people running full speed coming together and said, ka-pow!

0:25:39.810 --> 0:25:42.490
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that can't be good for you. I love football.

0:25:42.730 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing quite like the whole high school football atmosphere.

0:25:45.540 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It's so cool with the band and the cheerleaders and

0:25:48.060 --> 0:25:51.859
<v Speaker 1>the kids and all the parents. It's just, it's so awesome, man.

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a, uh, that's, that's a violent sport.

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.220
<v Speaker 5>Well, and as I always point out, every time we

0:25:56.260 --> 0:25:58.730
<v Speaker 5>talk about this, the big collisions are a factor of it,

0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:00.700
<v Speaker 5>but it's the small ones over and over and over

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 5>the ones you never notice that do the real damage,

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:05.810
<v Speaker 5>including helmet meets ground.

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:07.260
<v Speaker 2>That's a big one.

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:12.270
<v Speaker 1>And luckily, the serious injuries don't happen that often. But

0:26:12.330 --> 0:26:16.250
<v Speaker 1>last night's game, I think there were five times play

0:26:16.310 --> 0:26:18.830
<v Speaker 1>stopped with a player on the field and everybody's kneeling

0:26:18.869 --> 0:26:21.390
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's quiet on both sides. Five times during game.

0:26:21.670 --> 0:26:24.930
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't happen in other sports hardly ever. Like once

0:26:24.970 --> 0:26:27.070
<v Speaker 1>every five years, it happens at a basketball game and

0:26:27.090 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>football games. It happens all the time. Your point taken

0:26:30.380 --> 0:26:34.030
<v Speaker 1>that that's not what this is about. It's the repetitive.

0:26:33.470 --> 0:26:36.770
<v Speaker 2>Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I just don't know

0:26:36.790 --> 0:26:37.470
<v Speaker 2>where this is going.

0:26:37.950 --> 0:26:41.890
<v Speaker 5>The counter to our limp wrist leftist rhetoric coming right

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 5>after this quick word from our I'm saving people the

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.100
<v Speaker 5>trouble of email. That's why I got booted off the

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.400
<v Speaker 5>sports station, I'm sure. It's because of some sort of pansy.

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:52.199
<v Speaker 5>Put a skirt on him.

0:26:53.780 --> 0:26:59.660
<v Speaker 2>Right, exactly. And transgenderism, too. Anyway, we're from our friends.

0:26:59.740 --> 0:27:01.060
<v Speaker 2>It's Friday. You know what?

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 5>It's all you want. Hey, SimpliSafe Home Security, what a

0:27:04.980 --> 0:27:08.330
<v Speaker 5>great idea this is. It is different, SimpliSafe. That's why

0:27:08.369 --> 0:27:11.730
<v Speaker 5>we both love it in our homes. And in principle,

0:27:11.770 --> 0:27:14.690
<v Speaker 5>you got your smart AI-powered cameras watching for potential threats.

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:18.020
<v Speaker 5>They alert a live U.S.-based security specialist ready to intervene

0:27:18.340 --> 0:27:22.100
<v Speaker 5>if there's some scumbag hanging outside your house. The agents

0:27:22.220 --> 0:27:25.939
<v Speaker 5>intervene in under 30 seconds, speaking through the camera on

0:27:25.980 --> 0:27:28.460
<v Speaker 5>your behalf to stop an intruder in their tracks, and

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.909
<v Speaker 5>they call for urgent 911 dispatch when it's needed most.

0:27:32.150 --> 0:27:34.070
<v Speaker 1>One of the amazing things about SimpliSafe when it comes

0:27:34.109 --> 0:27:35.649
<v Speaker 1>to home security is the no contracts.

0:27:35.710 --> 0:27:37.570

0:27:42.710 --> 0:27:45.109
<v Speaker 1>they like the service, not because they're locked in a

<v Speaker 1>contract and, you know, waiting for it to end. All

0:27:48.030 --> 0:27:49.990
<v Speaker 1>these millions of people like me are using it because

0:27:50.010 --> 0:27:50.450
<v Speaker 1>they like it.

0:27:50.590 --> 0:27:51.710
<v Speaker 2>It's good. Yep.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.470
<v Speaker 5>ahead of crime in real time.

0:28:05.609 --> 0:28:08.290
<v Speaker 1>You calling me a pansy reminded me that you're going

0:28:08.310 --> 0:28:10.970
<v Speaker 1>all Teddy Roosevelt. Back in the day, they had a

0:28:11.070 --> 0:28:15.500
<v Speaker 1>number of deaths in college football happen all of a sudden.

0:28:15.580 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's when you didn't really have any padding or

0:28:18.020 --> 0:28:21.270
<v Speaker 1>helmets or whatever. And a number of deaths, and Teddy

0:28:21.310 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Roosevelt thought that was just awesome. We need more of

0:28:23.410 --> 0:28:24.740
<v Speaker 1>that in America. We're too weak.

0:28:24.780 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>We need men to be stronger.

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.700
<v Speaker 1>We need violent confrontations and toughen up and all that.

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Sort of stuff.

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'd like to point out for the record, Your Honor,

0:28:32.340 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 5>that I called myself a limp-wristed lefty as well because

0:28:35.859 --> 0:28:41.430
<v Speaker 5>I was making similar arguments. But the counter is obviously football,

0:28:41.450 --> 0:28:44.830
<v Speaker 5>a lot of sports, is a proxy for warfare, right?

0:28:45.790 --> 0:28:49.190
<v Speaker 5>It is physically fit and tough young men testing their

0:28:49.250 --> 0:28:54.140
<v Speaker 5>mettle against other young men. It is risk and reward.

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 5>It is courage and pain. And if we're such a

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.140
<v Speaker 5>soft society, we can't even play a game like that

0:29:00.180 --> 0:29:05.610
<v Speaker 5>because some percentage of the tiny percentage of people who

0:29:06.050 --> 0:29:08.810
<v Speaker 5>play it that long to have a pro career is

0:29:10.060 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 5>Their brains are not in good shape.

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.140
<v Speaker 2>It's tragic, and I don't mean.

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm just making an argument for the sake of having

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 5>both the arguments out there. But we can't abandon that,

0:29:19.580 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 5>or we will be such soft little cream puffs.

0:29:23.420 --> 0:29:25.420
<v Speaker 2>That it'll just be a matter of time before our

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:26.030
<v Speaker 2>empire falls.

0:29:26.070 --> 0:29:28.220
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would never be for getting rid of it

0:29:28.290 --> 0:29:31.650
<v Speaker 1>for adults deciding on their own whether or not to play.

0:29:31.890 --> 0:29:34.350
<v Speaker 1>But it's going to be harder for the kids. I mean,

0:29:34.370 --> 0:29:37.270
<v Speaker 1>if they ever trace back a CTE that there was

0:29:37.690 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a significant amount of it Four. to adulthood, I just,

0:29:43.820 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, the lawyers, I think the lawyers will take

0:29:45.820 --> 0:29:46.210
<v Speaker 1>care of it.

0:29:46.770 --> 0:29:49.650
<v Speaker 5>That's a really interesting question. I don't know the science

0:29:49.710 --> 0:29:51.580
<v Speaker 5>on that. The young kids... I would point out, though,

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 5>to get back to my hard-assed argument, as I'm trying

0:29:54.340 --> 0:29:57.380
<v Speaker 5>to see both sides, I'm just thinking back to my

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.940
<v Speaker 5>own youth. I mean, I was an avid athlete and

0:30:00.020 --> 0:30:03.130
<v Speaker 5>hockey player in particular, and, oh, my God, the number

0:30:03.170 --> 0:30:04.590
<v Speaker 5>of times I got my mouth.

0:30:04.410 --> 0:30:08.330
<v Speaker 2>Split open or my eyebrow. Bell wrong. Got his bell wrong.

0:30:09.010 --> 0:30:11.910
<v Speaker 2>Bruises and the rest of it. It was all the time.

0:30:12.270 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 5>And if you had said, well, we can't introduce you

0:30:14.630 --> 0:30:16.860
<v Speaker 5>to any of that sort of thing until you're 18

0:30:16.860 --> 0:30:18.780
<v Speaker 5>years of age, at age 18.

0:30:18.780 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I would have been like, uh.

0:30:20.700 --> 0:30:23.980
<v Speaker 5>I'd have been a different person, having not grown up

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:28.690
<v Speaker 5>with getting banged around and thinking mostly that it was funny. Or,

0:30:28.750 --> 0:30:30.950
<v Speaker 5>you know, it hurts for a while, but you realize

0:30:30.990 --> 0:30:32.050
<v Speaker 5>pretty quickly, I'm not going to die.

0:30:32.070 --> 0:30:35.110
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be fine. Well, you don't know.

0:30:35.150 --> 0:30:37.390
<v Speaker 1>Maybe if you hadn't had all the concussions, you'd be

0:30:38.130 --> 0:30:40.980
<v Speaker 1>a math professor or something now, instead of a disc jockey.

0:30:41.860 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let me squint my eyes. I see two of

0:30:43.460 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you right now. Yeah, a math professor. That'd be funny.

0:30:46.020 --> 0:30:48.940
<v Speaker 2>Would you call him a disc jockey? By the way,

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 2>may you burn in hell, sir.

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:57.830
<v Speaker 5>But no, you can't introduce risk-taking and pain and toughness

0:30:57.890 --> 0:31:01.190
<v Speaker 5>and all at age 18. But from a strictly legal

0:31:01.250 --> 0:31:03.890
<v Speaker 5>point of view, it's a strong argument.

0:31:03.910 --> 0:31:06.250
<v Speaker 1>They do have stricter protocols, as those of you who

0:31:06.310 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>are in football programs across the country know. One of

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.100
<v Speaker 1>our better players on the team my son's involved with.

0:31:12.770 --> 0:31:15.070
<v Speaker 1>He's done for the season because he got three concussions

0:31:15.130 --> 0:31:18.670
<v Speaker 1>in Hanwood last year, and they have whatever division rules

0:31:18.730 --> 0:31:20.710
<v Speaker 1>or state rules or whatever they are. He doesn't get

0:31:20.730 --> 0:31:22.530
<v Speaker 1>to play anymore because he's had too many concussions.

0:31:23.030 --> 0:31:25.770
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of concussions. When I was playing football,

0:31:25.970 --> 0:31:28.540
<v Speaker 2>the concussion was a thing.

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:32.340
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cared at all. Nobody was counting. Nobody called them that.

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:34.620
<v Speaker 1>It was just you got your bell rung or shake

0:31:34.660 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it off. Are you seeing stars? You know, that sort

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:36.780
<v Speaker 1>of thing.

0:31:36.820 --> 0:31:37.380
<v Speaker 2>Get back out there.

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:38.230
<v Speaker 9>All right. Right.

0:31:38.290 --> 0:31:40.430
<v Speaker 5>God, I still remember a couple of them. Oh, they

0:31:40.470 --> 0:31:41.550
<v Speaker 5>give me headaches thinking about them.

0:31:41.710 --> 0:31:41.970
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:31:42.230 --> 0:31:44.390
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah. Wow.

0:31:45.430 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And he's so disappointed that poor kid and his dad

0:31:47.500 --> 0:31:49.500
<v Speaker 1>because he just really loves football and you practice and

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>get all ready and summer practices and two a days

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and everything to get ready for the season. Get a

0:31:53.220 --> 0:31:56.410
<v Speaker 1>couple of concussions and you're done. Although dad was fully

0:31:56.490 --> 0:31:58.130
<v Speaker 1>on board with I don't want his brain. He ain't

0:31:58.150 --> 0:32:00.250
<v Speaker 1>playing next year. He said the senior year.

0:32:00.830 --> 0:32:01.790
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough. I'm a tough one.

0:32:01.910 --> 0:32:03.350
<v Speaker 1>I've known a lot of parents, and then we'll take

0:32:03.390 --> 0:32:06.570
<v Speaker 1>a break, who were hardcore, my kid's not going to

0:32:06.610 --> 0:32:09.030
<v Speaker 1>play football because of the CTE stuff that came out

0:32:09.070 --> 0:32:11.130
<v Speaker 1>over the years. And then their kid turns out to

0:32:11.170 --> 0:32:13.290
<v Speaker 1>be big and fast and really likes it and says, okay.

0:32:15.230 --> 0:32:18.300
<v Speaker 1>So probably six examples I can think of that off

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the top of my head.

0:32:19.460 --> 0:32:19.860
<v Speaker 9>Wow.

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:22.460
<v Speaker 1>And if my son was big and fast and really

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:23.860
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play, I'd let him play.

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 2>What if your kid's a half-wit anyway? Maybe it does

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:32.060
<v Speaker 2>you some good. Take the argument. It's possible you knock

0:32:32.100 --> 0:32:35.070
<v Speaker 2>some sense into them, as the old saying goes. Mailbag

0:32:35.090 --> 0:32:35.430
<v Speaker 2>on the way.

0:32:41.030 --> 0:32:43.830
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Stewart's dead as a hammer. We'll have our retrospective

0:32:43.850 --> 0:32:44.890
<v Speaker 1>coming up later in the show.

0:32:45.510 --> 0:32:48.170
<v Speaker 5>Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day, this time from

0:32:48.230 --> 0:32:52.740
<v Speaker 5>Matt Taibbi, continuing our theme of elections. In a society

0:32:52.820 --> 0:32:56.860
<v Speaker 5>governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed

0:32:57.040 --> 0:33:01.670
<v Speaker 5>always defeats disorganized democracy. I've said a version of that

0:33:01.710 --> 0:33:04.870
<v Speaker 5>for many, many years. I'd never observed it as clearly

0:33:04.950 --> 0:33:09.100
<v Speaker 5>as when we moved to California back in the 90s. That, yeah,

0:33:09.190 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 5>concentrated interest shows up at the polls and defeats, diffused

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.660
<v Speaker 5>just the common good a lot, unless the common good

0:33:19.740 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 5>shows up.

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.340
<v Speaker 2>That's the story of California over and over again.

0:33:23.500 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Moved to California 30 years ago and two weeks, like

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>30 years ago this month.

0:33:27.900 --> 0:33:29.740
<v Speaker 2>That's a long time to pay taxes.

0:33:30.830 --> 0:33:31.230
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy.

0:33:31.810 --> 0:33:32.190
<v Speaker 2>Mailbag.

0:33:33.370 --> 0:33:36.230
<v Speaker 5>Drop us a note. Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. Got some good stuff,

0:33:36.260 --> 0:33:38.700
<v Speaker 5>so let's dive right in. Jashon writes on the topic

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 5>of AI making us stupid. Guys, I lost my ability

0:33:41.580 --> 0:33:43.719
<v Speaker 5>to do math years ago, long before AI.

0:33:43.740 --> 0:33:46.850
<v Speaker 2>I don't need AI to get stupider. That's a good point.

0:33:47.470 --> 0:33:49.730
<v Speaker 5>If we're already halfwits, you know, what do we care?

0:33:50.230 --> 0:33:52.630
<v Speaker 5>This from Chris. Funny story, if you want to lighten

0:33:52.650 --> 0:33:56.290
<v Speaker 5>the mood, you're talking about the... Drunk guy joking with

0:33:56.330 --> 0:33:57.970
<v Speaker 5>his buddy on the plane that he was going to

0:33:58.030 --> 0:34:01.630
<v Speaker 5>hijack it and crash only his buddy's row, which is

0:34:01.690 --> 0:34:04.730
<v Speaker 5>the stupid drunk young man thing to say, but funny.

0:34:06.230 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 5>Reminds me of something that happened to my son in

0:34:07.820 --> 0:34:09.020
<v Speaker 5>high school 15 years ago.

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 2>He and his friends decided to dress as terrorists for Halloween.

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:17.140
<v Speaker 5>Wow. They took a picture of themselves posing with airsoft guns, etc., etc.

0:34:17.180 --> 0:34:19.100
<v Speaker 2>He used it as wallpaper for his phone.

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:19.780
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 5>And so then I'm going to edit this. He gets

0:34:22.940 --> 0:34:25.410
<v Speaker 5>into a fight with his girlfriend texting back and forth

0:34:25.450 --> 0:34:28.290
<v Speaker 5>in class and says, that's it. I'm breaking up with you.

0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 5>And his girlfriend texts back.

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Don't do it. No, don't do it. Don't do it.

0:34:34.940 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 5>As the teacher walks by and sees the wallpaper of

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:42.420
<v Speaker 5>the phone as his son dressed up as a terrorist.

0:34:43.020 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Whole school lockdown. Cops, everything. Oh, my God. The full

0:34:47.900 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 2>poop storm. Wow. Yes. He's probably still on some watch list.

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.330
<v Speaker 2>Kids will be kids. My girlfriend and I were arguing

0:34:55.350 --> 0:34:57.050
<v Speaker 2>about something.

0:34:57.890 --> 0:34:58.450
<v Speaker 5>Oh, boy.

0:34:58.630 --> 0:34:59.740
<v Speaker 2>Probably ought to just cuff me.

0:35:01.670 --> 0:35:05.410
<v Speaker 5>And then this, I had not set my phaser for touching.

0:35:06.370 --> 0:35:08.890
<v Speaker 5>In hour four of yesterday's show, you mentioned the Call

0:35:08.910 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 5>of Duty tagline, Be a Hero, which I found very,

0:35:11.860 --> 0:35:16.060
<v Speaker 5>very troubling. It reminded me of a conversation with my

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 5>14-year-old grandson as I dropped him off for his first

0:35:18.739 --> 0:35:20.060
<v Speaker 5>school dance last week.

0:35:21.270 --> 0:35:22.029
<v Speaker 2>Connie writes, Wow.

0:35:22.050 --> 0:35:22.130
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:51.469
<v Speaker 5>I hope that my teen who plays video games recognizes

0:35:51.530 --> 0:35:52.390
<v Speaker 5>that he can.

0:35:52.170 --> 0:35:53.529
<v Speaker 2>Be a hero to a lonely kid.

0:35:54.150 --> 0:35:56.630
<v Speaker 1>I was the other side of that exact same story,

0:35:56.650 --> 0:35:58.250
<v Speaker 1>and I told my son that as I dropped him

0:35:58.310 --> 0:36:01.029
<v Speaker 1>off at his first dance ever two weeks ago. I

0:36:01.070 --> 0:36:04.109
<v Speaker 1>stood there alone the whole night, no friends, boys or girl,

0:36:04.270 --> 0:36:07.230
<v Speaker 1>by myself, new kid in school. And some girl came

0:36:07.270 --> 0:36:08.950
<v Speaker 1>up and asked me to dance for the last song,

0:36:09.010 --> 0:36:11.780
<v Speaker 1>and we danced the last song. Changed the entire evening

0:36:11.820 --> 0:36:12.500
<v Speaker 1>and experience.

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:14.180
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:36:15.590 --> 0:36:18.489
<v Speaker 5>There's a comment on the Jihadi Leprechaun song, but I'm

0:36:18.530 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 5>not going to rush through it because I want an

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:21.259
<v Speaker 5>excuse to play it again.

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:27.740
<v Speaker 2>Stay with us. Armstrong and Getty.
