WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Thursday Hour Three 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.360 It's The Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast One 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:04.640 More Thing Downloaded. 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.280 Subscribe to it wherever you like to get podcasts, which 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:08.680 has been in the last few years. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.640 I feel like that they've started breaking down intelligence into 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.000 different groups. Yeah, it used to be smarter dumb, but 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.440 now there's different kinds of intelligence, including emotional intelligence. 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.440 And I ran into a guy who had very low. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.760 Emotional intelligence or whatever ability it is that some people 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.920 have or don't have to read a room to read 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.879 other people's body language or faces or whatever, right, and 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.479 it's amazing. I mean I have run into several people. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.640 I know some people that are very high on that, 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.600 Like I think Trump is extraordinarily high on that. He 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.760 probably actually is genius level when it comes to emotional intelligence. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.000 I think a lot of successful people probably are. But 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.320 I've known some really smart, successful people that seem to 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.159 have like zero I mean, they're like imbeciles when it 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.920 comes to emotional intelligence. And I met one on vacation, 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.880 as I said, the world's least humble marine, And yes, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:03.680 go ahead. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.160 I was just gonna say, do you think a decent 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:11.360 description of emotional intelligence is understanding how the other person 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.000 is receiving an exchange. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:20.400 Perceiving that absolutely, And it seems to me the people 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.760 that are really bad at it have never even considered 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.759 the idea of wondering. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.640 How the people are reacting to them. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.520 It's kind of like, truly, the uh, you have no 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.880 idea how bad you or the more dumb you are, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.679 the smarter you think you are, one of those things. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:35.880 Yeah, everyone asked their question. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.120 Yeah, it's the whole incompetent people don't know they're incompetent. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.320 And I guess that's true on all topics. And my 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.319 experience with military people as we've Joe and I have 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.680 done so many things with so many military people over 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.840 the years, and we both have family members in the military. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.560 Military people tend to be pretty humble just the way 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.200 they are, and the higher up the food chain you 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.760 go in that the more likely they are to be humble, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:04.280 Like Special Force dudes, super humble guys you would never 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.120 know there. And most Marines I've ever met in my 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.200 life were like that also, except for this guy. So 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:16.240 I'm on vacation and my son and I is actually 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.720 going to be both my boys and I were going 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.640 to take this boat trip. It's like this inflatable boat 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.200 probably fit fifteen twenty people on it, maybe a couple 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.600 of motors, and you're going to go out on the 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.040 ocean and it was described as a pretty rough ride 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.000 and then you ride around in the ocean and then 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.799 there's going to be some snarkling and then a ride 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.240 back and has a pretty long trip. It was like 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.679 three hours total. But anyway they made it clear is 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.920 really rough. And then my youngest son decided he didn't 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.960 want to do it, and thank god he made that 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:43.760 decision because. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.000 He would have never been able to handle it. It 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.440 was grueling. I mean it really grueling. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.680 Yeah, you had to have your feet underneath these straps 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.640 and then you had to hang on with both hands 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.680 to these other ropes. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:54.480 Have you done this before? 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.360 I have? 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.440 And these boats are not a smooth ride. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.840 No, no, super rough and you like had to hang 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.040 on and really hard with your legs and your arms 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:02.960 to stay in the boat. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.320 And it was. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:05.480 Hours of this. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.560 And it is a pretty physically grueling thing to do. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.160 And it was fun, but I mean you'd go over 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.079 waves and land and boom. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.920 And it was just like such a jolt to your spine. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.000 I mean it was it was wrong AnyWho, So before 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.320 we got on the boat, there's a young dude in 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.000 a bucket hat, sunglasses, and a this is on the 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.760 fourth of July, a red, white and blue speedo. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.960 And he's a super. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:39.680 Fit guy, like big guy, guessing like six two two ten, 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.200 very fit, very muscular dude. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.800 Just to clarify, the bucket hat, the sunglasses, the speedo 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.160 and nothing else. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.760 Correct, Okay, all right, he had flip flops on, well, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.720 grandam of a pair of flip flops, red white and. 0:03:54.640 --> 0:04:00.000 Blue speedo and and uh, you know, there's a variety 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.200 of groups so like husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.000 or like me and my son. And then he's by 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:10.080 himself and they talk about before we're gonna get on 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.440 the boat. The captain who is a super cool dude, 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.000 really really cool dude. He was six years in the 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.160 Coastguard and then he's run other big ships around the 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.520 world and he piloted this thing and he went in 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.080 and out of rocks. I mean, he's like one of 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.200 the most confident people I've ever been around in my life. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.200 I wish I was like him. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.240 He was military, so that factors into the story because 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.280 he was like your regular military guy kind of humble 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.880 and you know, not trying to show off or anything 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.080 like that. So he tells we're all to sit on 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.320 the boat, and you know, if you really want to 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.640 smoother ride, sit in the back. It gets rougher as 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.560 you go toward the front. And then if like you're 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.279 really worried about this, sit in the middle pillar. And 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.400 so there are some older people that sat in the 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.960 middle pillar. Some girls did and then kind of spread out, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.719 and my son and I were up toward the front. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.520 Marine guy takes fronts he I'll take front, And guy said, okay, cool, 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.760 you're sure, said, I'm semper fie man, I don't worry 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.919 about it. Oh so right off the bat, Marines never 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.840 freaking tell you you're the marine unless it comes up 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.920 in conversation. The fact that he just said that right 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.880 there is the first time I've ever heard that in 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.279 my life. At the guy in the speedo. So he 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.800 gets up there and he's sitting toward the front, and uh, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.479 we take off on the boat and he's just non 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.760 stop talking the whole time, never stops talking, talking to 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.120 the captain, talking to all the girls around him. Of course, 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.640 non stop chatterbox caught it. I don't know how many 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.200 times you mentioned he was a marine or he was 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.560 simper fie. Wait, too many times not hanging on to 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.240 any of the ropes. He would just fly up in 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.240 the air and land and kind of balance some stuff. See, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.080 I don't need to hang on. I'm semper fine. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.000 And I hate him already, I know, I know. And 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:46.839 it gets worse. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.000 So they're going around, and so they start handing out 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.480 The captain starts handing out gloves. He said, you're your 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.160 your your knuckles are gonna get rubbed bloody holding onto 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.559 the ropes against the canvas of the boats. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:05:59.240 Let me guess. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.560 So if you want to wear gloves, you can get him, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.680 he said, I don't need him. And the captain CD, 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.559 I didn't know you'd take any captain city. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.039 The captain is already tired of this. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:08.320 Dude. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:08.760 You can tell. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.520 Captain says, uh, yeah, I didn't figure you'd want to. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.520 Of course, not sip for five. We don't use gloves. Okay, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.599 we get it. Dude, you've made it clear to everyone 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.360 on this tiny boat who's hurt you already. You are 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.360 in the Marines. He's actually stole the Marines. But you're 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.320 a tough guy. We all fully understand. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.720 The whole dynamic of what's going on. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.400 We just stipulate that move on, get it, and it's neat. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:32.799 Okay. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.359 So we're on this boat ride and the captain points 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.640 out a couple of hikes and swims that people do 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.000 in this touristy area on the ocean, and he talks 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.160 about this one. It's a seventeen mile hike and swim. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:46.640 Not very many people do it. Do it? 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:47.080 Do it? 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.240 It's really really hard to do. It's really grueling. You 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.440 have to be like an expert swimmer. Marine voices, I 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.440 just did it, did it yesterday. I didn't think it 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.440 was that big a deal. I'm not kitty, I'm not kidding. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.279 Oh you go ahead, he says, when you go, whoops 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.679 and accidentally just donkey kick him off the side of above. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.760 You know, if only his dad had told him like once, 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.960 I'm proud of you, son, or a good job. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.520 Oh wow, you think that's it? Uh, that could be 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.600 it and not a shock that he was by himself. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.640 But so he had done this grueling like seventeen mile 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.800 coastal swim or whatever. And the captain, the coastguard veteran guy, 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.280 was pretty person. He said, wow, you did that, and 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.840 he said, yeah, I didn't think it was that much. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.280 And he said, I don't know how many people have 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.119 done that? Were you with some people? Says by myself. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.520 He said, man, that's not a very good idea. I 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.440 usually suggest that people are going to do that swim 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.440 they have a boat with him or nah, says a 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:40.920 marine guy. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.960 Okay, fine, we get that going. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.320 But here's the ending of my story. This is my 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.480 favorite part of the whole thing. The captain, super cool guy, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.800 has a big speaker on his boat and he's blasting 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.720 music the whole time, which made it kind of fun. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.200 And he's got like a bunch of different cool songs, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.560 so Jimmy Buffett tunes and different stuff like that, and 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.320 just you know, kind of songs that people would like. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.880 And then this song comes on Michael, So that song 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.880 starts and the marine says, hey, you know what I 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:16.120 call this song? Captain's like, what Freeballin'? Oh no, He's like, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.880 what freeballing? You haven't ever heard that term freeballing. It's 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.280 like when guys don't wear underwear, we call it freeballin. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.400 And I wanted to say to him, everybody got it, dude. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.400 We all understood from the first moment you said that 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:31.400 you're pun. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.200 You You're fantastic pun. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.880 We just thought it was like coursing uncool, and there's 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.640 there are a couple of they're not children on here, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.800 but there's a couple of like high school girls or whatever, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.920 not appropriate content for them or whatever. So then when 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.080 it gets to the chorus, the chorus comes on and 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.480 he stands up.

I was at a bar over 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.920 our vacation and my husband was elsewhere. So this guy 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.400 came up and stood next to me and went, Hey, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.480 I just want to let you know. You look just 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.440 like the hawk two ey girl. Oh, And I said, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.480 first of all, no, I don't. Second of all, is 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.719 that your opening line? That's what you're going up to 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.280 chicks now and saying. So anyway, I'm apparently the other 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.080 hawk two ey girl. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.840 I got a marine, buddy, I think you should beat 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.080 it to you and get along. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:35.240 Great Jack Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.000 Here's we're talking about the neo Marxist trying to subvert 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.480 society and what Americans love and are proud of and 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.320 the rest of it. And a lot of people go 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.960 along with them because they think they're doing the right thing. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:54.240 Here's a Democrat led town in Connecticut. This state trooper 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.840 was killed by a hit and run driver last week, 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.200 young Man family. The whole tragedy story that you've heard, 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.000 you know too many times. But several of the council 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.000 people wanted to fly the thin Blue Line flag in 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.360 his honor and explained why they wanted to and what 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.280 a fine fellow he was and what a tragedy it was. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.640 But several of the council members said, no, we can't 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:22.520 do that. It represents racism and antagonism to many, many people. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.600 And if you don't personally believe that, and you fly 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.200 it at your house and think it means something to you, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.560 that's fine, but we can't do it because again, it 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.360 represents racism antagonism to many many people. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.000 Here's how this works. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.760 The flag, which has always indicated support for concern for 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:42.800 love for police officers. During the heyday of the defund 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.040 the police movement, the Black Lives Matter movements, which are 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.320 both neo Marxist movements, they're trying to tear down the West. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.400 They've admitted as much. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.600 While they were in the midst of that fervor, they 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:01.960 convinced people that any support of police police is racist 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:06.520 and antagonistic, even though it's not and it was never 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.640 intended to be. But they convinced a bunch of people 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.840 that a legitimate expression of support for police is racist. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.040 And so now you have people saying, I've heard that's racist. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.480 Right, or at least controversial. Right. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.280 That's how that works, as James Lindsay has put it, Really, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.840 James Lindsay, if you want to control something, call it 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.600 racist until you control it. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.040 Here's another brief example. Here's a North. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.840 Carolina teen, North Carolina, you ought to be better than this, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.000 suspended from school for using the term illegal alien in 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:42.600 a classroom discussion. An administrator likened that to saying the 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:48.960 N word. Sixteen year old Christian McGee, Right, wow, right, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.600 and so now is this here's the difference between the 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:53.880 N word and illegal alien. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.040 I can say illegal alien over and over, just like 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:57.960 you did, teacher, illegal alien, illegal aid. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.560 Try saying the innword. You'll notice the difference quick. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.720 Well, and check federal statutes, so you will find the 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.640 term illegal alien all over the damned place. So is 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:12.560 this school administrator an activist, a neo Marxist activist? 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.400 Could be? There are a lot of them. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.160 Are they just a soft head that has been swept 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.720 up in thinking, Oh, that's I'm told that it's it's 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:22.960 racist to use that term. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.560 So I'm gonna punish anybody who does. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.080 Probably that one the useful idiot, right, it is in 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.480 no way which is why it makes me so crazy 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.000 that now you hear even Fox News using the term migrant. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.600 How did we decide. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.720 To go from illegal immigrant to immigrant to migrant. It's 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.400 because activists on the far left insisted on it and said, 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.560 if you don't, you're a racist. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.160 And people said, dud, I don't want to be a racist, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:49.880 so I'll do what you tell me to do. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:58.280 How about a little independent thought, folks, Goodness, before we 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.480 get to that too quick? 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.200 Things on. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.360 I just looked up at the Twitter machine and there 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.560 is something on there about young people in New York 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.639 talking about how they all got punched in the face 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.520 because of a recent TikTok challenge in which the thing 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.280 was to just walk up and punch people in the face, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.159 and some of the morons do it.
