Speaker 3: This is one of your rare Michaelangel has taken it
Speaker 3: in One More Thing podcasts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as he referring to Senile Biden with his mouth
Speaker 4: hanging open or somebody chewing or what.
Speaker 3: A friend of mine said that about their elderly dad
Speaker 3: who he loves the other day, Like what age does
Speaker 3: your mouth start hanging open?
Speaker 2: He said, I'm not looking forward to that, the ravages
Speaker 2: of age. Oh, it's so hard. I'm not looking forward
Speaker 2: to it. I'm going to get a strap around my
Speaker 2: head that holds it up or something like you just
Speaker 2: had surgery and tie at the top. Anyway, what are
Speaker 2: you talking about, Michael, I'm.
Speaker 5: Talking about Jim etiquette. And I don't know quite how
Speaker 5: to handle this. Uh so I have to go to
Speaker 5: the gym because I have type two diabetes.
Speaker 3: Gym Jim, Yeah, g ym Jim etiquette as you call
Speaker 3: him Jim or James, depending on what they want.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, working out, and I know you and you
Speaker 5: go to the gym with your kids, and.
Speaker 6: I know Katie goes to the gym, and.
Speaker 2: So I go to the gym.
Speaker 6: Or I wasn't leaving you out?
Speaker 2: Well you left me out. You literally left me out.
Speaker 2: What do you mean you're not? Apparently, apparently it doesn't show.
Speaker 2: I was saving the best boys. I'm strong like bull.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Joe? You look great? That was rude, Jack.
Speaker 4: Thanks Katie. I'm freaking ripped. Look at those guns.
Speaker 3: Like if I say to somebody, I was at the
Speaker 3: gym the other day, you go to the gym, what
Speaker 3: sort of check like, James, whatever?
Speaker 7: It was?
Speaker 2: Anyway, there there you were at the gym, Mike Lafe,
Speaker 2: I think, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I'm on a gym machine and then there's
Speaker 5: a guy to the right of me and he's working out.
Speaker 5: But he's a bit of a mouth breather, so he
Speaker 5: really excels. And the problem is he has the worst
Speaker 5: breath I have ever saw, and it's the room breath. Yes,
Speaker 5: I am like two machines away from him, and it
Speaker 5: is so bad.
Speaker 2: That's there's something wrong there. They need to get to
Speaker 2: a doctor.
Speaker 3: You might have been intervening in a medical situation if
Speaker 3: there are two machines away and you can smell their breath.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, And as sure hal etosis right over there?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 4: The guy's got the rotten gums. That's what's happening there.
Speaker 4: That's what halotosis is. Mostly, it's it's bacterial infections and
Speaker 4: decay of your gums.
Speaker 2: Give us an overall look other than his breath. What
Speaker 2: do you look like?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 2: Age? Fifs or not?
Speaker 6: Older man?
Speaker 5: I'd say probably in this fifties. Normal guy, I mean
Speaker 5: decent shape, but just terrible and a normal guy who
Speaker 5: smells like a dung heap. Yeah, And I could not
Speaker 5: continue my workout because it smelled so bad it was
Speaker 5: making me sick. And so my question is, I don't
Speaker 5: this guy if I see me?
Speaker 6: What do I do?
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 6: Do I just should I say something politely?
Speaker 2: You make it leg day and you go over there exactly.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 8: Just pick a different part of your workout to do
Speaker 8: while he's on the machine.
Speaker 2: What possibly would you say to the gentleman.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but I have to use certain machines
Speaker 5: because I have to use certain exercises.
Speaker 6: It's a long story, but you get blood sugar down.
Speaker 3: You sure you've got health reasons to be at the gym,
Speaker 3: and nobody wants to, like have to alter their workout
Speaker 3: because somebody stinks so bad. Sir, your mouth is offensive, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're s Your breath smells like that train wreck in
Speaker 3: western Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Where was that? It had a funny name that was
Speaker 2: ounce straw.
Speaker 3: Something was a biblical name, right right, right, Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like Palestine, Ohio.
Speaker 4: Palestine, that's right, East Palestine, Ohio. Right, yeah, that's it. Anyway,
Speaker 4: where were we? I was? I was going to accuse
Speaker 4: Michael of humble bragging because every to me, every complaint
Speaker 4: about the gym is really just a humble brag that
Speaker 4: you were at the gym.
Speaker 2: But but but with.
Speaker 4: Your diabetes, I can't play that card, so I will not. No,
Speaker 4: there's nothing you can say to the stinky gent You
Speaker 4: could recommend a good dentist, because I'm telling you it's
Speaker 4: a dental problem.
Speaker 3: I used to spot for a guy at the gym
Speaker 3: and and like doing the bench press, so I'd be
Speaker 3: kind of leaned over him, you know, getting ready to
Speaker 3: help the bench up, and and haiti x sale. It
Speaker 3: was just like whoa every single time I turned my
Speaker 3: head and hold my breath for his ex sales.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I had a buddy that had really really bad breath.
Speaker 8: And what I would do is I always had mins
Speaker 8: in my purse and but i'd pull him out. I'd
Speaker 8: be super blatant, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm and I'd go, anybody want one min
Speaker 3: in my life? But this is the best mint I've
Speaker 3: ever had.
Speaker 4: Tell you what, anybody who doesn't have one of these
Speaker 4: mints is really missing out.
Speaker 8: Just shake some altoids and offer him one, Michael.
Speaker 3: It's like a combination of an orgasm in the last
Speaker 3: day of school.
Speaker 2: This mint is just oh one, It's a mint gasm.
Speaker 2: So listen.
Speaker 4: I want to be delicate about this because this is
Speaker 4: not meant from in any way a bad place. But
Speaker 4: there are certain cultures that they're traditional diets render their
Speaker 4: output post meal to be somewhat pungent.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean the case here. Actually, now I think.
Speaker 3: About it, Okay, so racism raises its uglyhead, just go
Speaker 3: up and.
Speaker 2: Stick a sock in his mouth. Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm telling you there is a difference. If you
Speaker 4: have a ham sami for lunch and if you have
Speaker 4: some sort of spicy curried goat or something for lunch,
Speaker 4: you can have a different breath profile.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, I think.
Speaker 3: I always want somebody to tell me if my breath
Speaker 3: is bad. I'm trying to come up with a scenario
Speaker 3: where I would I would prefer you didn't like it
Speaker 3: would be more hurtful than helpful. But I think I'd
Speaker 3: like to always know until I will I get it
Speaker 3: under control.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And it's like the you know you got some I
Speaker 4: eat blueberries for a number of reasons with my yogurt,
Speaker 4: but the blueberries are one of the worst. You have
Speaker 4: something on your teeth foods known to man because the skins,
Speaker 4: so you have to rinse the look and all. But
Speaker 4: if somebody said, hey, you got a little uh, that
Speaker 4: would be Some people are so embarrassed to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you if you're if you and I are
Speaker 3: friendly and you let me walk.
Speaker 4: Away with a big blotch of deep blue crap on
Speaker 4: my teeth.
Speaker 2: You have done me no favorite like you got the
Speaker 2: dead bluetooth that.
Speaker 4: I'm stinking up the gym people try to work out
Speaker 4: or ready to puke.
Speaker 3: Guy with diabetes next to me can't work out. That's right,
Speaker 3: kill him, but he doesn't want to be rude. No,
Speaker 3: go ahead and say it.
Speaker 2: My kid, you know, because kids are what you want honesty.
Speaker 3: You ever want to know what you look or smell like,
Speaker 3: have kids because they are gonna tell you, at least
Speaker 3: up to a certain.
Speaker 2: Age, all the time.
Speaker 3: But whenever my kids would say, Dad, your bread smells bad,
Speaker 3: it's not a Fenman's good.
Speaker 2: I want to know that.
Speaker 4: So Michael curious, partly because I've recently become aware that
Speaker 4: a person I know on the autism spectrum is hyper
Speaker 4: sensitive to smells. I have a daughter who's misophonic. Definitely,
Speaker 4: there's certain sounds maker insane Jackie can relate to that.
Speaker 4: Have you ever had a history of being super sensitive
Speaker 4: to smells?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, not at all, or hasn't changed since COVID. I
Speaker 3: have the problem now I've learned to ignore it. When
Speaker 3: I get a really bad smell, I have figured out
Speaker 3: it's not as bad for anybody else since the COVID thing,
Speaker 3: same thing that caused me to not taste sweet, I guess,
Speaker 3: But like for a while, I was like to my
Speaker 3: poor son.
Speaker 2: Dude, take a shower. Good God.
Speaker 3: And I finally figured out, with some time and different situations,
Speaker 3: that my smell.
Speaker 2: Is out of whack. Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, it just smells horrible to me all the time,
Speaker 3: no matter how many times.
Speaker 2: Really gets a bath.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I consider myself so blessed that I've had Chairman
Speaker 4: she'ese bat fever the fauci flew several times, but haven't
Speaker 4: had any sensory changes as an epicurean that would be
Speaker 4: tragic for me. Now, you who have been hard of
Speaker 4: tasting since I've known you, I'm not happy it happened
Speaker 4: to you, but it would be a tragic loss if I,
Speaker 4: with my refined batot, were to suffer such a fate.
Speaker 5: So hold on, Jack, So your smells, certain things smell worse,
Speaker 5: and then things you can't smell at all.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, because it's hard not to
Speaker 3: notice not smelling something, But yeah, bad smells are a
Speaker 3: hundred times.
Speaker 2: Worse than they used to be. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I remember getting a number of emails from listeners during
Speaker 4: the height of the COVID thing talking about how a
Speaker 4: cup of coffee now smells just rancid to I.
Speaker 3: Haven't had that, I don't think, but just bad smells
Speaker 3: are like the sponge on the sink, which I never
Speaker 3: used to ever notice sponge on the sink if it
Speaker 3: started to get a little funky.
Speaker 2: Oh, just walking in the kitchens at all, like a
Speaker 2: ton of bricks.
Speaker 3: So maybe you have that going or maybe the guy's
Speaker 3: just disgusting Michael, Yeah, would scope fix that if your
Speaker 3: teeth a rotten out?
Speaker 2: Or would that not help that? Listine?
Speaker 4: It would be better, I think one of your antibiotic
Speaker 4: type thing.
Speaker 2: You distract him. You slip some listerine into his water bottle.
Speaker 2: Oh geez, you distract him.
Speaker 6: He's kind of a big guy.
Speaker 2: Just so you know. Okay, boy, move quickly and stealthily.
Speaker 5: Hey, one more thing for you guys to go to
Speaker 5: the gym, do you let people work in with you?
Speaker 5: They now put up a sign that said you need
Speaker 5: to share your equipment let others work in between your sets.
Speaker 5: Do you know I don't do that either, No, because
Speaker 5: you wipe down your equipment afterwards.
Speaker 8: I don't want somebody else sitting down on it and
Speaker 8: getting it all set.
Speaker 3: No, I haven't been to a gym or you had
Speaker 3: to do that in many many years. When I was younger,
Speaker 3: I did all the time you had. It is just
Speaker 3: so crowded. It was pretty much no other way to
Speaker 3: work out. But it was always just so discouraging if
Speaker 3: people were like at a much different level than you are,
Speaker 3: and they're like, you put on so much more weight
Speaker 3: than you got to take it back down to the
Speaker 3: little girl level before you do your weight, or you're
Speaker 3: just you're there to.
Speaker 4: Do A B and C, and you do A and
Speaker 4: B and then C is used up or you know
Speaker 4: it's being used, so all right, I'll go do my
Speaker 4: set of B, I guess, and then okay, now A.
Speaker 2: Now somebody's on a N C and I just my.
Speaker 3: One discouraged my one quick story on this as we
Speaker 3: do the longest podcast we've ever done. I was working
Speaker 3: out the University of Kansas at the gym there, and
Speaker 3: I was doing the squats on the squat machine, and
Speaker 3: a guy wanted to work in with me, and I
Speaker 3: was too embarrassed to say that I couldn't do the
Speaker 3: amount of weight he was doing, so I did a
Speaker 3: way above my limit as best as I could, and
Speaker 3: then when I was done, my legs were so jelly
Speaker 3: from doing way more weight than I was capable of doing.
Speaker 3: I could barely walk and I had to like really
Speaker 3: stiffen up my leg to shuffle out of there. And
Speaker 3: I got in my car, which had a manual transmission,
Speaker 3: and I couldn't push the clutch in my legs was
Speaker 3: so I had to sit there for like twenty minutes
Speaker 3: before my legs calmed down enough I could push it.
Speaker 2: They were just shaking.
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, maybe you should swallow your pride and
Speaker 3: just say that's more weight than I can do. A
Speaker 3: lesson in life is.
Speaker 2: What it was.
Speaker 6: Well, I've decided what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 6: As he does the chest press and has.
Speaker 5: Both arms occupied, I will grab a toothbrush with full
Speaker 5: tooth based and start.
Speaker 2: Brushing his tee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, while he's in mid he can't do anything about it.
Speaker 3: You got the flawstick in there.
Speaker 2: Perfect quick question for you. What if you happen to
Speaker 2: miss this unbelievable radio program.
Speaker 4: The answer is easy, friends, Just download our podcast Armstrong
Speaker 4: and Getty on demand. It's the podcast version of the

Speaker 1: The arm Strong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2: Vegetables and Don't eat meat. Why eggs are bad for you?
Speaker 2: Eggs are the best shampoo. Do you know why this
Speaker 2: feels like cute? Because co clutes of dairy is terrible
Speaker 2: for you. Table salt is a dangerous salt. Red flag
Speaker 2: number two. There's organic, natural flavor and natural flavor.
Speaker 3: In fact, artificial flavors are derived from.
Speaker 2: Eliminate the seed oils out of your life.
Speaker 3: Drinking water won't hide drinking Stop drinking coffee, Stop drinking
Speaker 3: table The reason you can't lose wigs because you think
Speaker 3: calories are real.
Speaker 5: Mind thing your body, me andres You can get definitely sun.
Speaker 3: That was a lot of contradictory information, but you get
Speaker 3: that every single day from the internet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Wow, trying to go online and get any food advice
Speaker 8: is impossible, or any.
Speaker 3: Advice about anything. I was thinking, that's exactly like the politics.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just exactly like the world of politics.
Speaker 3: Good luck. You got to get involved in a homework
Speaker 3: assignment to figure it out. So you come across the
Speaker 3: headline drinking water is the worst way to hydrate. Well,
Speaker 3: maybe that's one percent true, one hundred percent true, not
Speaker 3: true at all, I don't know, but I guess it's
Speaker 3: one of.
Speaker 4: The most idiotic assertions I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 4: There's probably a fancy term for this. It's like, you
Speaker 4: know how in news it's I think it's called notability
Speaker 4: of bias or something like that. If something really rare
Speaker 4: and crazy happens, it makes the news. I mean this
Speaker 4: to the old joke is man bites dog, Now that's news.
Speaker 4: But because weird stuff is on the news now constantly,
Speaker 4: you start to think that it's really common. A child
Speaker 4: abduction is the one of the most insidious examples, because
Speaker 4: it's so rare and terrible it always makes the news
Speaker 4: when it happens, So people now are afraid to let
Speaker 4: their kids run and play and become strong, resilient kids. Anyway,
Speaker 4: the Internet, it just occurred to me listening to some
Speaker 4: of that. If I had a website that claimed you
Speaker 4: should eat lean meats and vegetables and go light on
Speaker 4: the carbs, nobody's going to click on that. You got
Speaker 4: to claim something utterly, you know, new or wild or
Speaker 4: ridiculous to get clicks.
Speaker 2: Table salt is killing.
Speaker 4: You, right exactly, So people are incentized to, you know,
Speaker 4: offer up crap I need crappy advice.
Speaker 2: I found the worst of both worlds.
Speaker 8: There's this woman that popped up on Instagram yesterday where
Speaker 8: she goes shopping dressed like a whoa and then tells
Speaker 8: you all the foods you shouldn't eat and the reasons why.
Speaker 8: But she's a vegan health nut, so none of it
Speaker 8: makes any sense. When you said a woman, I thought,
Speaker 8: of course a woman. Was she hot? Of course, that's
Speaker 8: that's the whole thing. She got a hot woman in
Speaker 8: a tank top saying you've been peeling potatoes wrong your
Speaker 8: whole life. And then you are supposed to click. Yeah,
Speaker 8: well give it a click. Maybe your shirt slips or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's got some buy she's kind of a butterface.
Speaker 4: So oh my god, oh hey, come on, now, you
Speaker 4: don't need from unkindness.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's a description. I know it is,
Speaker 3: I'm familiar with it. Butter butter is Butter is bad
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 4: By the way, according to the one person right before
Speaker 4: the guy who insisted we cooked with butter.
Speaker 3: All artificial. What are artificial flavors made out of patrol alium.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, time to unplug the internet. It was
Speaker 3: a brave experiment, really interesting there for a while, but
Speaker 3: it's clearly a bad thing.
Speaker 8: The only one I agreed with was the guy that
Speaker 8: said don't drink tap water.
Speaker 3: That I can get you're an anti tapwater.
Speaker 2: I'm a pro right princess. Whatever.
Speaker 4: There's a a really well funded startup that is building
Speaker 4: much less expensive, super efficient, smaller nuclear power plants, and
Speaker 4: they're getting I think their first one going in Montana
Speaker 4: or Idaho or or one of your one of your.
Speaker 2: States with more elk than people.
Speaker 4: But it looks to be really promising technology, and even
Speaker 4: some of the green numb skulls are having to admit.
Speaker 4: You know, the greenest power out there is nuclear power.
Speaker 4: As has been said and written, it's the only power
Speaker 4: source that contains its waste. It packages up and then
Speaker 4: you put it deep in a mountain somewhere or something.
Speaker 2: It'll be fine. But I think we're about to see
Speaker 2: a resurgence in nuclear power. WHI should be good, really good.
Speaker 3: You mentioned that phenomenon this headline and I didn't read
Speaker 3: the story, But Montana has more cows than people, which
Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me. I know the county I lived in, Kansas,
Speaker 3: we definitely had more cowsan people. I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 3: even close. But I also saw the headline the other
Speaker 3: day that Montana has the highest suicide rate in the country.
Speaker 2: Why would that be? I didn't look into it any guesses.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: A lot of rural areas have really struggled with the
Speaker 4: opioids and drugs of various sorts.
Speaker 2: Just a guess. Long Bleak Winter Kevin Costner's show ended.
Speaker 2: Long Bleak winters have been around for a long time
Speaker 2: a lot of places. Yeah, I'm spitballing here.
Speaker 4: He asked me these giant sociological question and then you
Speaker 4: mock me when you don't look my answers.
Speaker 3: No, I'm the opposite when it comes to brainstorming. I
Speaker 3: stand up and say, everybody throw out an idea that
Speaker 3: I tell them they're all stupid.
Speaker 8: I went to the Googs and it says that altitude
Speaker 8: has something to do. Yeah, because metabol extress can disrupt
Speaker 8: your mental health.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'm buying that. It's always been the
Speaker 3: same height. He didn't get higher recently.
Speaker 2: It's growing.
Speaker 4: Are they saying suicides are up or just that it's
Speaker 4: the highest rate.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's always been the highest rate. That's a good question, there,
Speaker 3: you bully stupid idea.
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joey the arm Strong and Getty Show,
Speaker 1: Strong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3: The world's oldest living person died over the weekend. What's
Speaker 3: interesting about Maria Morera is she is the eighth oldest
Speaker 3: person who's ever lived, at least that can be verified.
Speaker 2: Maybe Moses did live to be six hundred. I don't know.
Speaker 3: We don't have a Bert's certificate or a variety of
Speaker 3: people throughout history. But she lived to be one hundred
Speaker 3: and seventeen, dang near one hundred and eighteen and died
Speaker 3: over the weekend one seventeen. So I was just so
Speaker 3: I was going to put this out as a thought
Speaker 3: experiment for everyone listening. Do the quick bath in your
Speaker 3: head from your age from current age, how many more
Speaker 3: years that would be if you died at one seventeen.
Speaker 3: You get a form right now, You get to sign up,
Speaker 3: yes or no? Do you want to because like for me,
Speaker 3: it'd be basically doubling my lifespan or doubling my current
Speaker 3: life I'd have to live my entire life, which I've
Speaker 3: found very tiring, over again, and I'm not sure I
Speaker 3: would sign up for that. I would have to think
Speaker 3: about it all day long. Do I want when I
Speaker 3: want that or not?
Speaker 4: Well of the inevitable comment slash question is well, am
Speaker 4: I healthy and in good shape?
Speaker 2: Does my brain work or not? But that's that's part
Speaker 2: of the bargain. You don't write right.
Speaker 3: Well, even if oh, okay, let's this makes it even
Speaker 3: more interesting. You're going to be an extraordinarily mentally fit
Speaker 3: at least and pretty physically fit oldster. You're gonna be
Speaker 3: really good up until the very very end. So take
Speaker 3: that off the table. Even then, do you want to
Speaker 3: live your entire life over again? I don't know that
Speaker 3: I could do it. I don't know if I even
Speaker 3: if I could take it. Wow, well, you're looking at
Speaker 3: it wrong.
Speaker 4: You know, you're familiar with the whole concept one day
Speaker 4: at a time, right, sure, but you can't look at
Speaker 4: the entire span.
Speaker 2: What's the point of it?
Speaker 3: But you know how as you get older, the world
Speaker 3: just too much change. Kids today, I can't handle the
Speaker 3: in the modern attitudes or whatever. It just Oh no,
Speaker 3: I'd be. I can't go right there in the Come on,
Speaker 3: could I go through my one hundredth presidential election of
Speaker 3: this is the most important election of our lifetime.
Speaker 2: I could I do that? I don't think I could.
Speaker 4: I'd be there in the rec room saying, I tell
Speaker 4: you what, anybody born after the year twenty sixty, they're
Speaker 4: full of crap.
Speaker 2: They got the wrong attitude.
Speaker 3: Never trust anyone under one hundred and five exactly. Any
Speaker 3: would you sign up for that?
Speaker 2: No? No, absolutely, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Plus, financially, you gotta think about so I've got to
Speaker 3: be able to support myself somehow for.
Speaker 2: Another sixty years. What it's a long time. And then
Speaker 2: how many of your friends are gonna live that long? No? No,
Speaker 2: none of them, You'll be Yeah, But so you gotta work.
Speaker 3: Is if you're gonna live to one hundred and seventeen,
Speaker 3: you probably gotta work to you one hundred and five
Speaker 3: A money?
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, that's unpalatable.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: I would guess at the you get me all day
Speaker 3: long to sign the forums. At the end of the day,
Speaker 3: I'd say, Okay, I'm gonna roll the dice. See what happens.
Speaker 3: But I it seems like a long time. Well, see,
Speaker 3: you're lacking foresight. This is a static analysis.
Speaker 4: I'm picturing the world as it will be when draining
Speaker 4: the blood of the ns rush the old is much
Speaker 4: more common.
Speaker 2: You're unburdened by what has been I'd forgotten.
Speaker 4: Exactly therapies and development science jack science will have advanced.
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about that at all, diseases or anything
Speaker 3: like that. I'm thinking about just the world, the crap
Speaker 3: of the world. I can't I couldn't do it all
Speaker 3: for another sixty years. Again, kids today, they just changing
Speaker 3: cultures and annoyances.
Speaker 2: No freaking way would get to drugs, get drunk or something,
Speaker 2: ignore the crap.
Speaker 4: There are lots of people right now who are ignoring
Speaker 4: all of that, get drunk or something.
Speaker 2: It jells down. If he could just be hammer the
Speaker 2: whole time.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, So yesterday, I'm trying to get my WiFi set
Speaker 3: up at the new place with a with a country.
Speaker 3: I won't mention the company to Expinity and beyond. Oh boy,
Speaker 3: who in the customer service was absolutely fabulous. Once I
Speaker 3: got to someone, But like I started talking to my
Speaker 3: kid while I was waiting on hold, I said you know,
Speaker 3: when I was young, you'd call a human being who
Speaker 3: spoke English from America would answer the phone. And now
Speaker 3: it's a foreign land. Blah blah blah. See the more
Speaker 3: changes like that, I can't do that for sixty years.
Speaker 3: As things get crappier, I assume things are going to
Speaker 3: get crappier, at least that's been my recent experience.
Speaker 4: Now I'm going to have Lackey's to deal with that
Speaker 4: sort of stuff for me. Okay, I'm busy draining the
Speaker 4: blood of the young. My assistance assistant is dealing with
Speaker 4: you know, get drunk or something.
Speaker 2: Is your answer to the whole problem? Right right? Creative? Okay?
Speaker 3: So R FK Junior, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, his dad
Speaker 3: was part of the whole Camelot thing. Do that was
Speaker 3: the attorney general under his brother was i'd brothers hear.
Speaker 4: The other s word on the ear than camelot, and
Speaker 4: that's that's inappropriate.
Speaker 2: I'm kidding. And so he you know who he is? There?
Speaker 2: You don't what am I trying to do here? Set
Speaker 2: this up? And uh and uh So he was running.
Speaker 3: For president but couldn't get any even though he was
Speaker 3: pulling very very well, at one point he was pulling
Speaker 3: like eighteen percent in national polls. He couldn't get any
Speaker 3: traction with any media. Then, I think part of it
Speaker 3: is people learn more about him and he's quite the
Speaker 3: whack job. It's all over the place on a lot
Speaker 3: of different things. But Democrats spent tons of money and
Speaker 3: lots of lawsuits to make sure he couldn't get on
Speaker 3: the ballot anywhere because they were afraid that he would
Speaker 3: damage Joe Biden at the time, Now, Kamala.
Speaker 2: Harris, I thought they were in favor of democracy and
Speaker 2: people voting for who they wanted.
Speaker 3: Exactly the money. Democracy dies in darkness, but God help
Speaker 3: us up. There could be a third party that could
Speaker 3: ever get a sniff of anything. He stops his campaign
Speaker 3: and has endorsed Donald Trump and with Donald Trump on
Speaker 3: the stump over the weekend and is going to campaign
Speaker 3: with him in a variety of battleground states where he
Speaker 3: pulls well and all that sort of stuff. He did
Speaker 3: a couple of interviews over the weekend. Here's him talking
Speaker 3: a little bit about how he was denied any media coverage.
Speaker 9: It became clear to me that I did not have
Speaker 9: a path to victory sixteen months of censorship, of not
Speaker 9: being able to get on any network really except for Fox,
Speaker 9: and I had in fact, when when Rosbero ran, in
Speaker 9: the ten months that he ran, he had thirty four
Speaker 9: appearances on the networks. I had two appearances in sixteen months.
Speaker 9: I was blocked up networks. I was blocked up from
Speaker 9: the bay. I had no phath to victory.
Speaker 3: I think that's damned interesting that he was as polling
Speaker 3: as high as he was and he couldn't get a
Speaker 3: sniff on any of the big time Sunday talk shows
Speaker 3: or anything like that, where if he was a Republican
Speaker 3: talking about how bad Trump was, he would have been
Speaker 3: on every single talk show first day he announced and
Speaker 3: regularly from there forward.
Speaker 2: Absolutely true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a you know, to site the obvious
Speaker 4: that we've cited more than once. It is clearly a
Speaker 4: different era for the media when Rosbero was running. Should
Speaker 4: we cover this guy? Of course, we should cover the guy.
Speaker 4: Guys getting five percent, now ten percent, Now he's getting
Speaker 4: fifteen percent. What do you mean should we cover him?
Speaker 4: What a stupid question. Now it's like, oh, you might
Speaker 4: help Trump, so just to preticce not there right, so weak, But.
Speaker 2: We're in favor of democracy.
Speaker 3: More on that angle in just a second, but just
Speaker 3: for the whole stupidest thing. I've hated the whole Kennedy thing,
Speaker 3: that's the camelot thing, that's the lionizing, the revering them
Speaker 3: acting like they're are royal family thing for a very
Speaker 3: very long time. But here is RFK junior sister talking
Speaker 3: about how disgusted she is that her brother is backing Trump.
Speaker 7: I'm outraged and disgusted by my brother's guardian of scene
Speaker 7: embrace of Donald Trump. I completely have and separate and
Speaker 7: dissociate myself from from Robert Kennedy Junior and his flagorant
Speaker 7: and inexpectable effort to death creating tramp said fire to.
Speaker 3: My father's now setting father setting fire to their father's memory.
Speaker 4: Whatever I want, George Washington, arise from the grave and
Speaker 4: give you the broadside of his sword.
Speaker 2: But we're gonnave you a good slapping.
Speaker 3: But on the subject of who you vote for or
Speaker 3: who endorses who were that sort of thing, and we're
Speaker 3: gonna play a little JD vance later in the show.
Speaker 3: He was on Meet the Press yesterday and quitted himself
Speaker 3: quite well. He was asked a lot about RFK Junior
Speaker 3: endorsing the party, and then he was asked to answer
Speaker 3: for a variety of RFK Junior's positions, and he answered,
Speaker 3: what I think should be in the way everybody answers
Speaker 3: for this stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't agree with.
Speaker 3: Everything, and I somehow in the last several cycles we've
Speaker 3: gotten into this weird thing. I feel like, where you
Speaker 3: can't support somebody because of X. What about the fact
Speaker 3: that they did this or they did that. Well, I
Speaker 3: don't agree with that part, but I like the other part.
Speaker 3: There are only two choices to one of two people
Speaker 3: are going to be president of the United States. That
Speaker 3: is just a fact. One of two people. And would
Speaker 3: you rather have Harris me president or Trump? It's that
Speaker 3: simple to me. And so the idea you voted for Trump's,
Speaker 3: You're okay with January sixth of the year.
Speaker 2: Okay with his his you know, his crazy tweets or
Speaker 2: things he says about don't know what, don't know, But
Speaker 2: there are only two choices. I'm choosing this one over
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 4: For all of his sins, Barack Obama was remarkably uncalculated
Speaker 4: and much more natural.
Speaker 2: Because your political insiders, they think way too much about oh,
Speaker 2: that's how said the orthodoxy. I'm nasure I can say that.
Speaker 4: Maybe I could say that I remember now because Obama said,
Speaker 4: you know, you said you weren't going to run for
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, and he said, yeah, I changed my mind.
Speaker 2: And that ends the conversation.
Speaker 4: Do you agree with JFK that, Oh, no, no, we
Speaker 4: overlap by I don't know, like seventy five percent, and
Speaker 4: that's the other twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: But you know, we agree more than we disagree.
Speaker 3: And RFK Junior said the same thing over the weekend,
Speaker 3: and when he's asked about Trump's this or that, because
Speaker 3: he had criticized a lot of the things that Trump
Speaker 3: did very harshly over the years and.
Speaker 2: Still does, he said, no, I don't agree with that.
Speaker 3: But of the two choices, the Democrats are doing this
Speaker 3: and this, and I don't like that. I'd prefer Trump.
Speaker 3: I wish everybody would get to that position. I think
Speaker 3: we'd be better off. I think we would be less
Speaker 3: dug in and less apocalyptic about the elections if we
Speaker 3: looked at it more as a of the two choices,
Speaker 3: I'm going this way as opposed to I'm in bed
Speaker 3: with all of the decisions that this side made, and
Speaker 3: I suppose I should be gentle because a lot of
Speaker 3: you are people I know go with the I can't
Speaker 3: vote for. I can't cast a vote for somebody who
Speaker 3: did X. Okay, I guess I don't quite get that. Again,
Speaker 3: there are two choices, which would you rather have lead
Speaker 3: the country for the next four years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, voting for the lesser of two evils is not
Speaker 4: very inspiring, but get used to it.
Speaker 2: It happens a lot.
Speaker 4: I'd also like to point out that folks on the
Speaker 4: left are never ever asked the sei you and this
Speaker 4: other you know. You could name a number of unions
Speaker 4: they are regularly playing footsee with communist organizations, hardcore socialist
Speaker 4: slash communist organizations. Do you agree that the government should
Speaker 4: run all private business and industry?
Speaker 2: You never even asked that question.
Speaker 4: So, you know, save your raised eyebrow and your feigned outrage,
Speaker 4: you DC Beltway hypocrites.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess in general, I personally think we'd be
Speaker 3: better off if you didn't cherish your vote so much
Speaker 3: that you feel like if I voted for this person,
Speaker 3: I've done something evil or wrong. No, again, there's two choices.
Speaker 3: You can go this way, or you can go It's
Speaker 3: there a fork in the road, you go and left
Speaker 3: or right. You gotta choose one of them, or you've
Speaker 3: decided to let other people choose for you.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah or Jack or show
Speaker 1: podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 2: Thee Armstrong.
Speaker 4: I'm just listening to the drive by Trucker's tune that
Speaker 4: I enjoy so much in Patterson Hoods singing in his
Speaker 4: unique whiskey soaked cigarette Wu's voice, and how inimitable it is.
Speaker 4: But it is imitable with AI or will be soon
Speaker 4: artificial intelligence. Yes, that's what I meant by AI.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: More than two hundred musical artists, including such heavy hitters
Speaker 4: as Billie Eilish, Katie Perry, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello, and
Speaker 4: many more, The Family sign Frank Sinatra, have signed this
Speaker 4: open letter to AI developers, tech firms, and digital platforms
Speaker 4: to quote cease the use of artificial intelligence to infringe
Speaker 4: upon and devalue the rights of human artists.
Speaker 2: Good luck. Well, yeah, they're specifically.
Speaker 4: Talking about you can't have an AI that sounds exactly
Speaker 4: like whatever Nora Jones producing a new song. I get that,
Speaker 4: But they and Tennessee passed the law recently. I didn't
Speaker 4: actually read the wording of the law, but having to
Speaker 4: do with protecting the rights of musicians and their jobs
Speaker 4: not to be taken away by AI, I'm putting you
Speaker 4: all in the same category. And this is with all
Speaker 4: due love and respect for musicians being one, I put
Speaker 4: you in the same category as somebody standing on the
Speaker 4: beach ordering the tide not to come in.
Speaker 2: It's not going to work. You are doomed, doomed, doomed
Speaker 2: in a.
Speaker 3: Go ahead or more maybe more accurately. You know you're
Speaker 3: a blacksmith in nineteen hundred and you're just going to
Speaker 3: fight the car.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, well, said in a funny quin incidence, John
Speaker 4: with No Age, beloved listener the Armstrong and Getty Show
Speaker 4: said essentially, dude, you got to check this out. This
Speaker 4: website and it is well, we'll have a link at
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty dot com if you want to check
Speaker 4: it out. But it's a website that allows you to
Speaker 4: access AI and you feed it a prompt that's like
Speaker 4: an uplifting pop song about how you're always there for me,
Speaker 4: and AI will write it for you lyrics and music, and.
Speaker 2: You're always yourmentation, You're always there for me. Well, i'd
Speaker 2: like that song.
Speaker 4: A dreamy rap song about being trapped in an AI
Speaker 4: song factory, A bouncy Cumbia song I don't know what
Speaker 4: that is about how you're always there for me, A
Speaker 4: bouncy electronic pop song about a faded photo on the mantle.
Speaker 2: You just those are the sort of prompts you do.
Speaker 4: And here's one that was described as what was it
Speaker 4: called punk rock scot punk rock rap about being tired
Speaker 4: of the nine to five workday.
Speaker 2: And this is what it turned out, seventy three. Please Michael, I'm.
Speaker 10: Saying here at my desk, staring at the clock, wondering
Speaker 10: when the day will finally stop. Gussie my escape.
Speaker 3: It's not great that AI has listened to Weezer and
Speaker 3: Fountains of Lane over and over and a little.
Speaker 2: Green Day in there as well, if you like it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And this is a website that's for free to
Speaker 4: amuse yourself.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 4: Picture you've got the tools of Google or what have you,
Speaker 4: professional recording mastering equipment, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Well, they're almost two different categories.
Speaker 3: The NBC News did this story last night, and it's
Speaker 3: almost two different things. There's the creating music sounds just
Speaker 3: like someone else thing, and that's going to end up
Speaker 3: in court over and over again. I mean, because like
Speaker 3: I listen to country radio, if I listen to music
Speaker 3: radio at all, and there's like five dudes and five women,
Speaker 3: or fifty dudes and fifty women that sound exactly the same,
Speaker 3: and those are real human beings. So how are you
Speaker 3: ever going to nail down No AI ripped off this guy.
Speaker 2: Well, there's twenty other guys in the radio sound just
Speaker 2: like that guy, So how do you claim what?
Speaker 3: But then they were getting the argument of we need
Speaker 3: to discourage AI from just doing music because it takes
Speaker 3: away the blah blah blah of humankind and.
Speaker 2: Never gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about screaming at the ocean trying
Speaker 3: to stop the waves.
Speaker 2: That's just sorry. That ain't gonna up.
Speaker 4: Michael hit us with number seventy. Here's another example. Latin flow,
Speaker 4: slow smooth about to beautiful woman or something. You want
Speaker 4: to know the name of this guitar player. There wasn't one.
Speaker 2: You beauty suntan, the bustle lap. The fact that there's
Speaker 2: no human being that did this is amazing.
Speaker 3: What at any point, not the music, not the singing,
Speaker 3: not the writing, the producing.
Speaker 2: Sun I know it's.
Speaker 3: Surreal, it's disturbing, and like you said, this is the
Speaker 3: free amateur version, not the professional I've.
Speaker 2: Got some talent version, and I tweak it as I
Speaker 2: go along. Oh my god, who knows where this is going?
Speaker 3: Movies, music, books, it's depressing.
Speaker 4: Actually, the lyrics are pretty stupid, so I don't think
Speaker 4: really good books will be anytime soon.
Speaker 2: So are all the lyrics on on pop radio? Touche?
Speaker 2: Why would I bother.
Speaker 4: Assembling studio musicians performers, right, I mean, granted, pops formulaic anyway,
Speaker 4: But I find it I can just type into a computer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I find it discouraging from wanting to do that,
Speaker 3: which is weird. But and it's only going to get better.
Speaker 4: Things are getting weird, and they're getting weird fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Billie Eilish in the family of Frank Samantra and
Speaker 3: whoever else signed this letter.
Speaker 2: I think you're up against it, Armstrong and they're gonna
Speaker 2: work fast. Don't you think that's a little odd? Absolutely,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt.
Speaker 10: In my mind.
Speaker 2: This is the Armstrong and Getty Show.
