Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: What sort of fabulous information can people expect this hour?
Speaker 3: Oh so much? Jack.
Speaker 5: First of all, super interesting free speech debate going on
Speaker 5: right now. As people are posting online nasty stuff about
Speaker 5: law enforcement, including federal law enforcement. When does that cross
Speaker 5: the line. When is doxing doxing? When is a threat
Speaker 5: a threat? And the social media companies, when do they say, yeah,
Speaker 5: super Joe one, two three is actually Joe Getty and
Speaker 5: give that information to the authorities. Tough one, tough one.
Speaker 5: So we'll talk about that among other things. Plus, I
Speaker 5: don't know if you heard, there's an islamunist who is
Speaker 5: going to be the senatorial candidate in Michigan. More on
Speaker 5: that as well.
Speaker 4: So as we all know, dudes declaring their women and
Speaker 4: then participating in women's sports has been a story for
Speaker 4: a while, particularly bothersome at the child level. Among adults,
Speaker 4: it's a different thing. We can have our conversations bit
Speaker 4: man in high school.
Speaker 5: But any any school sports, including universities, I think it's abhorrent.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, true, the high school girls that miss out
Speaker 4: on their dream of being the fastest girl in the
Speaker 4: state of Massachusetts because some boy outran or just so ridiculous,
Speaker 4: and it keeps getting it's going in the right direction.
Speaker 4: You got the whole thing with the w NBA player,
Speaker 4: the tall, blonde, attractive woman, Sophie cunning Cunningham, who made
Speaker 4: a very mild statement of I don't think guys should
Speaker 4: be allowed to play in girls' sports, And now every
Speaker 4: game she goes to. I was watching some of this yesterday. God,
Speaker 4: that would suck the people with the hateful signs and
Speaker 4: booing her every time she touches the ball because she
Speaker 4: said something that.
Speaker 6: Ninety percent of the country agrees with.
Speaker 4: She gets booed every time she touches the ball, and
Speaker 4: people just angry.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're just, oh, I hate that person.
Speaker 5: That's because the trans thing bears so many earmarks of
Speaker 5: religion that there are articles of faith and things you
Speaker 5: must not say. There are mortal sins and that sort
Speaker 5: of thing. You can't reason with them because they're not
Speaker 5: coming from a place of reason. They're coming from a
Speaker 5: place of religious cultism.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know who the number one
Speaker 4: women's tennis player in the world is at this point,
Speaker 4: I did not know Arnya Sabolenka. Anyway, she's the number
Speaker 4: one women's tennis player in the world, and she got
Speaker 4: some attention yes day when she said, I think it's
Speaker 4: really important to keep the fairness in our tour.
Speaker 6: It's obviously biological.
Speaker 4: The men are way stronger than the women's so I
Speaker 4: feel like it would not really be fair for women
Speaker 4: to compete against biological men. That was her super strong
Speaker 4: statement that. I mean, she went with the biological man
Speaker 4: thing that I know you hate, but she's saying, if
Speaker 4: you're born a guy, you can't compete against us in
Speaker 4: the girls tennis or you shouldn't.
Speaker 3: It's not fair.
Speaker 4: Once again, I mean, just it's not even a close
Speaker 4: issue in terms of you put it to the public.
Speaker 4: And we've played this clip before, Venus and Serena Williams
Speaker 4: both saying they wouldn't they couldn't win a single set
Speaker 4: against the.
Speaker 3: Best tumber one hundred player in the world.
Speaker 4: They well mentioned yesterday the fastest woman in the world,
Speaker 4: Flow Joe, set the record in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 6: It stood that long. A thousand high.
Speaker 4: School boys beat that record this year. That's the difference
Speaker 4: between boys and girls. I don't even know why.
Speaker 6: We need the disclaimer if that takes nothing away from
Speaker 6: the girls, it's just it's just a fact.
Speaker 2: Lie.
Speaker 4: I actually think women's tennis this is more entertaining than
Speaker 4: men's tennis. I don't feel that way about basketball, but
Speaker 4: I do feel that way about the tennis and the
Speaker 4: racist for racists, they're they're they're equal, So it doesn't
Speaker 4: really make any difference in terms of watching the race
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 6: But you can't have them compete against each other.
Speaker 5: It's nuts, I know, and it's been seen as so nuts.
Speaker 5: You don't even need to make the argument until about
Speaker 5: a decade ago or even less than that.
Speaker 4: So which one of these w NBA coaches do we
Speaker 4: want to hear from?
Speaker 3: First? Let's go in order. Why not?
Speaker 4: Okay, this is coach Natalie Nicassi or Nicaise here she goes.
Speaker 2: For me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's
Speaker 2: about allowing everyone to be their authentic self. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm big on that. Just because I have been criticized
Speaker 2: for my height, for my ethnicity, I've been in those
Speaker 2: you shouldn't belong here many times, and for me, I
Speaker 2: don't want that space, especially Gold and State, to ever.
Speaker 3: I feel like that.
Speaker 2: So I'm all about women, little girls deserving to play,
Speaker 2: and that includes trans women. So I'm all about inclusivity.
Speaker 5: Started with absurdity, went to irrelevant, and ended within defensible.
Speaker 5: Well done, coach. The left always comes at you with
Speaker 5: those code words, those agreed upon words like inclusivity. What
Speaker 5: does that mean? Does that include a man? Does that
Speaker 5: include a heal a monster? Does that include I don't know,
Speaker 5: a committee of four people who identify as one so
Speaker 5: you can put you know, in effect, eight people on
Speaker 5: the court. What do you mean by inclusivity? It's just
Speaker 5: it's just a role. But it's just, uh, it's a
Speaker 5: it's greeting card rhetoric.
Speaker 4: As I often say, Well that that last sentence, particularly
Speaker 4: including a trainswoman might come back to haunter her.
Speaker 6: Here's here's yet another WNBA coach.
Speaker 1: The narrative that I think that is problematic is to
Speaker 1: suggest that number one, that transgender athletes are the biggest
Speaker 1: problem in women's scores.
Speaker 3: And now I think this is what's bothers.
Speaker 6: Some made that there is a faction of people in.
Speaker 1: Our country that are making this a massive issue.
Speaker 6: We have some issues.
Speaker 1: Number one, we need to protect trans kids, every kid.
Speaker 3: To me, it's a human's rights.
Speaker 4: Issue, okay, humans pride issue. That you let trans women
Speaker 4: play in the WNBA. You got at least two coaches
Speaker 4: on the record saying that, and now you have this
Speaker 4: which is very exciting for all of us here at
Speaker 4: the show that there is now a trans woman dominating
Speaker 4: European women's basketball professional basketball who says he she is
Speaker 4: open to the idea of paying in the WNBA if
Speaker 4: somebody would ask her to play. She averaged twenty one
Speaker 4: point twenty rebounds this season, one.
Speaker 5: Saying she, I just I don't get it. Why would
Speaker 5: you use their language?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I get a kick out of it for some reason.
Speaker 4: I understand your point. I understand you.
Speaker 6: I've done it in my mind.
Speaker 5: It's in quotes and and highlighted. You gotta make it
Speaker 5: more obvious.
Speaker 4: She but she one player of the year, defensive player
Speaker 4: in the year, and domestic player of the year in France,
Speaker 4: record breaking campaign and if you haven't seen the highlights,
Speaker 4: I mean, the dude is so much bigger.
Speaker 6: Than all the other girls on the court.
Speaker 4: And man, they go up for a lamp and he
Speaker 4: just swats it into the stag.
Speaker 3: Oh and dude has guns too, I mean big guides.
Speaker 4: It's not just the advantages of being a dude.
Speaker 6: It's a big, big four a dude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got the sort of muscle mass only a
Speaker 5: male can accumulate without, you know, incredible outside interventions, you know,
Speaker 5: drugs and stuff. Uh, yeah, it's this is absolutely the
Speaker 5: hilarious test case that many of us have been waiting for.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm making the challenge right now. W NBA owners
Speaker 4: and coaches. Yeah, if you are not recruit and signing
Speaker 4: this person, you are by definition transphobic.
Speaker 5: You're betraying your your team ownership and fans. Do they
Speaker 5: have stockholders? Because you have a fiduciary duty to do
Speaker 5: everything you can to win and you're in Dick's inclusivity.
Speaker 3: So you got to hire the dude. You've just got to.
Speaker 6: Or are you going to admit you're transphobic.
Speaker 4: You cannot argue why the best player in that league
Speaker 4: can at least be a backup on one of your
Speaker 4: WNBA teams unless you're transphobic.
Speaker 3: Oh see what every record in the league history.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5: I'll make this pledge to coach Nick Casey or Ni
Speaker 5: case and coach Reeve of the Valkyries and Links.
Speaker 3: I don't even know where.
Speaker 5: Those teams play. I will buy a season ticket if
Speaker 5: you draft and play this gentleman.
Speaker 6: Uh season ticket? You have to skip a night out eating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so, let's go to make sure because it can.
Speaker 4: It can sound like gloating that men are better it
Speaker 4: it sports them, which not. The point is you you
Speaker 4: said something indefensible and stupid.
Speaker 6: You said that guys aren't don't.
Speaker 4: Have an advantage, or that it is fair to let
Speaker 4: them play against girls. That's what you're saying, And that's nuts.
Speaker 5: Are you just blah blah blah inclusive blah blah blah
Speaker 5: welkin ming blah blah blah. So I guess she can play?
Speaker 5: All right, Let's see how that goes. Let's do this.
Speaker 5: Calling your bluff, sweetheart, calling your bluff, Katie.
Speaker 4: You were an actual high school basketball player, did you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Would the w NBA exist.
Speaker 6: If they let dudes play in it? No, That's what
Speaker 6: I'm saying is the WNBA would.
Speaker 7: Not exist because there's two separate categories of sports going on?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 3: Are you saying there are only two sexes? Yes? I am?
Speaker 6: I am, and I were that hell down that hill?
Speaker 3: Oh lord?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, Donald Trump weighs in. He's a billionaire who knows
Speaker 4: maybe he'll buy a team and own it. He's got
Speaker 4: an idea on how please, he's got an idea on
Speaker 4: how he would handle it.
Speaker 6: And this is what he said.
Speaker 8: And I'll tell you what, if I were ever, I'd
Speaker 8: be the greatest woman's basketball coach at history. Because I
Speaker 8: don't like Lebron James. I like Michael Jordan much better,
Speaker 8: but i'd.
Speaker 6: But I'd go up to Lebron James.
Speaker 8: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: I say, Lebron, did you ever have any desire to
Speaker 9: be a woman? Because what I'd love you to do
Speaker 9: is star on my team that I'm building up.
Speaker 8: I will have the greatest team in history. They'll never lose.
Speaker 9: Nobody who will come within seventy points of this team. Now,
Speaker 9: we have to change that, and we have to make
Speaker 9: it okay to talk about it.
Speaker 5: Always one of those college volleyball teams had gone with
Speaker 5: five dudes.
Speaker 3: That would have been the other way.
Speaker 5: To just crack this wide open and have people force
Speaker 5: people to recognize the absurdity of their bizarro critical theory,
Speaker 5: you know theories.
Speaker 4: Well would it? Though, as I think about it, we
Speaker 4: do have examples. We've had it in California. We've seen
Speaker 4: it a couple of different states where some dude is
Speaker 4: just absolutely dominated girls track in high school and they
Speaker 4: just let it happen.
Speaker 3: So maybe let's get evolved.
Speaker 5: It has evolved a lot, because remember California has now
Speaker 5: gone to the well, why don't you both get on
Speaker 5: the podium and we'll give you both a first place,
Speaker 5: recognizing that their position is indefensible.
Speaker 7: When I was in high school, they had us scrimmage
Speaker 7: the boys team to make us better. Sure, so if
Speaker 7: the boys were playing with us, we all would have
Speaker 7: gotten our asses.
Speaker 3: Kicked well right right if they're gone full.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that was like one of the big things
Speaker 7: where right before a big game, we played the boys
Speaker 7: team to make sure that, you know, we were up
Speaker 7: to the standard against the other girls.
Speaker 6: But like we had to like jump that.
Speaker 7: Barrier, sure women with us or against us in the
Speaker 7: actual tournament, No, because that would be absurd.
Speaker 5: Until roughly six seven years ago, our women's US national
Speaker 5: soccer team is lost.
Speaker 3: To high school teams.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's and again and again, most of you've
Speaker 5: heard this before, and we don't need to say this, but.
Speaker 3: We are both.
Speaker 5: I am a huge supporter of girls sports, women's sports
Speaker 5: athletics in general for girls who are interested in and
Speaker 5: I think it's a wonderful thing right up through the
Speaker 5: collegiate level whatever. It's at the point that it becomes
Speaker 5: professional entertainment. You're asking people to pretend that because men
Speaker 5: and women in our quote unquote equal, it's equally entertaining,
Speaker 5: and it's just not. It isn't that in no way
Speaker 5: that does not won one half of a percent diminish
Speaker 5: the value of girls sports.
Speaker 3: It's two different questions. So that's one thing.
Speaker 4: Well, and like I said, well it's all in the
Speaker 4: Entertainment's in the eye of the beholder. I actually think
Speaker 4: women's tennis is more fun to watch in men's tennis.
Speaker 5: For a variety of reasons. But it's irrelevant to the
Speaker 5: point anyway.
Speaker 6: Yes, but will.
Speaker 4: They if this guy comes over and does do really,
Speaker 4: really well in the league, well they just we're roll
Speaker 4: with it.
Speaker 6: Let him be the MVP.
Speaker 5: It will be a beautiful moment for truth defeating radical ideology.
Speaker 6: You know, to be the best.
Speaker 4: They put him on the same team as Caitlin Clark
Speaker 4: and Sophie Cunningham. All Right, we're gonna take you to
Speaker 4: your word and we're going to win the championship until
Speaker 4: you come honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow wow, Yeah.
Speaker 5: We're gonna win every game by seventy five points until
Speaker 5: you say this is crazy.
Speaker 3: Let's do this.
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on that text line four one five kftc.
Speaker 5: Armstrong.
Speaker 10: The Sifaka lemur is only found on the island of Madagascar,
Speaker 10: and with deforestation shrinking their habitat, the species is on
Speaker 10: the verge of extinction, just like East Africa's pancake tortoise,
Speaker 10: whose flat soft shell helps it hide from predators but
Speaker 10: not poachers. They're among the one hundred critically endangered animals
Speaker 10: that the celebrity funded Phoenix Species Project wants to say.
Speaker 10: Christian Sanpierre is managing director of the Bezos Earth Fund,
Speaker 10: which is contributing one hundred million dollars. Leonardo DiCaprio's Rewild
Speaker 10: organization is matching the donation. The money for the program
Speaker 10: is part of a broader commitment from Bezos to spend
Speaker 10: ten billion dollars on climate change by twenty thirty.
Speaker 4: The last part, Uh, I was a sinking during that.
Speaker 4: It's like that that see'd be that cool thing about
Speaker 4: being ultra wealthy where you could do stuff like that, Oh,
Speaker 4: you cut through all kinds of red tape and get
Speaker 4: things done that no government organization will or can. Then
Speaker 4: you had to throw in that ten billion dollar climate
Speaker 4: change thing that'll probably mostly be wasted on crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, almost entirely.
Speaker 4: Sure, at the behest of his big lipped wife.
Speaker 6: Probably I put all the blame on her for me.
Speaker 3: Wow and her lips. What is it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So Bezos and Leonardo DiCaprio teaming up to try to
Speaker 4: save all kinds of including lemurs, my peopils, King Julia.
Speaker 5: One of the foremost lemurs in American society.
Speaker 4: Yes, my peoples love me, but glad they can save
Speaker 4: those animals.
Speaker 5: That reminds me, not me, but a guy I know
Speaker 5: has a name who trapped an opossum the other day.
Speaker 5: He's got a trap out there and he's caught a
Speaker 5: couple of things. But no, no, because well that's my question.
Speaker 5: Well I didn't ask him. Do possums do any harm?
Speaker 5: I just they climbed trees and play dead.
Speaker 3: Right. I suppose I could have looked it up, but
Speaker 3: I don't care enough.
Speaker 6: So get into your trash can and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: I suppose that that's.
Speaker 3: Kind of thing raccoons do that trash pandas.
Speaker 6: Famously I've had opossums in.
Speaker 3: My haven't haven't had that experience.
Speaker 4: Raccoon's trying to talk. Welcome to possum Talk like we
Speaker 4: do every Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have no idea. Isn't a possum ever? Done
Speaker 5: you wrong? Drop us a note mail bag and Armstrong
Speaker 5: e geeddy dot com.
Speaker 4: Trying to think what was the animal my dog killed
Speaker 4: that I had to dispense of with Soji? That was
Speaker 4: a raccoon. Giant freaking raccoon. It was so heavy I
Speaker 4: could hardly lift it. It's quite the nasty fight with
Speaker 4: my dog too.
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, that's a that's a a chilling tale. You
Speaker 3: should tell that in full.
Speaker 5: Also, we'll check in with the Thank God, the Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk conspiracies.
Speaker 3: Holy cow, people will believe anything. You'll believe anything.
Speaker 6: Well, that's troubling. Okay, that's on the way. If you
Speaker 6: miss it, get the.
Speaker 3: Podcast Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Have we talked much about our budding video project.
Speaker 3: Not very much at all, though.
Speaker 6: Is there a reason we should or shouldn't talk about that?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: We're hoping to be on YouTube soon the show live.
Speaker 4: Is it gonna be live or not live? Relatedly, I
Speaker 4: don't think live at first.
Speaker 6: To us, YouTube is a new thing.
Speaker 3: Well, it'll be.
Speaker 5: It'll be a podcast on YouTube, which you know, for
Speaker 5: a minute they called a vodcast.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, when it airs, it's live and then you
Speaker 4: can watch it at any time. What do you think
Speaker 4: that'll do to us or for us?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I know what it'll do to me. Well, this mockery
Speaker 6: of my appearance.
Speaker 5: But please and you're the handsome one. I uh, we
Speaker 5: can you know, we can talk about it on the error.
Speaker 5: But there are certain aspects of what I hope it
Speaker 5: does that I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I should say.
Speaker 6: Well, it make me substantially wealth here, that's my biggest question.
Speaker 3: Uh, it's possible.
Speaker 4: What it comes, But that money comes with all the mockery.
Speaker 4: So it's a trade off. Well, yeah, it's mockery money. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's fine. It's a fair, fair deal. As far as
Speaker 4: I'm conning, I'm.
Speaker 6: Gonna have to decide what I want my look to be.
Speaker 4: Do I want to look like a I don't know, biker,
Speaker 4: a cowboy, or do I know?
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 5: I was just talking to one of my chat pots
Speaker 5: and one of my friends and my one wife about
Speaker 5: that very topic. I had not intended to talk about this.
Speaker 5: I had intended to do something completely different. But as
Speaker 5: long as we're talking about it. So I've been trying
Speaker 5: to decide because I usually I mostly.
Speaker 3: Do the show in T shirts.
Speaker 5: You know, like right now, I'm wearing one of my
Speaker 5: favorite liberty T shirts, got a great quote from the
Speaker 5: Revolutionary War on the back. But you know, if we're
Speaker 5: doing video and we're going to be on every day,
Speaker 5: what do I want to do?
Speaker 3: What look do I want to go?
Speaker 5: My buddy Joe the Silicon Valley Guy says, he said, immediately,
Speaker 5: black T shirt. Invest in some really nice black designer
Speaker 5: T shirts. Because I said, I want to wear roughly
Speaker 5: the same thing every day. I don't want to think
Speaker 5: for a single second about it.
Speaker 3: That's I said. Yeah, I'm more of a golf shirt guy.
Speaker 3: How about black golf shirts? He said, No, T shirts.
Speaker 4: Okay, T shirts do look good on camera, and black
Speaker 4: T shirts do. That's one of the main things I
Speaker 4: started wearing a suit most days is it's just so
Speaker 4: much easier.
Speaker 6: You just don't think about it. I'm wearing my suit with.
Speaker 3: A white shirt. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, and that's I asked one of my chadpots I
Speaker 5: can't remember which one. They said, well, given your age
Speaker 5: and that you talk about on your line, I've mentioned it.
Speaker 3: They didn't come into it, and they said.
Speaker 5: A nice Oxford button down or something like that would
Speaker 5: be good. And it's just the most milk toasty idea ever.
Speaker 5: And Clanet granted, I don't you know, I don't want
Speaker 5: to look like a clown. It doesn't need to attract
Speaker 5: any intention what I'm wearing. But at the same time,
Speaker 5: I don't know, I asked, I'm probably overthinking this.
Speaker 3: I bought everything.
Speaker 4: I bought some new glasses when I was in Vegas
Speaker 4: with my son and I put a picture of myself
Speaker 4: on the chat box and said, what do you think
Speaker 4: of these?
Speaker 6: And I don't know why I did that. My son said,
Speaker 6: why are you doing that? I said, I don't know
Speaker 6: why I'm doing this, but anyway, one of them said, well,
Speaker 6: with your jawline, I think I thought this is weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well with the size of your ass, maybe you should. Oh,
Speaker 5: I shouldn't have said I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I
Speaker 5: flew off the handle. So yeah, my glasses are fairly
Speaker 5: similar to yours. But and I think I look more
Speaker 5: learned wearing the But I can't wear them doing the
Speaker 5: show because during the show, because they're distance classes, I
Speaker 5: don't wear reading classes.
Speaker 4: Well, zoom or the pandemic changed everything in terms of
Speaker 4: this sort of stuff, because you watch cable news every
Speaker 4: single day. Back in the day, you almost had to
Speaker 4: be in studio in those cable news shows, and people
Speaker 4: would live in cities they didn't want to live in,
Speaker 4: or travel at great expense to make sure they're in studio.
Speaker 6: Then everybody realize it doesn't make it any.
Speaker 4: Everyone wills soever if you're in a little box on
Speaker 4: TV on a zoom somewhere else. Right, And the same
Speaker 4: to a certain extent with how you dress. I was
Speaker 4: watching Mark Alpern's video cast last night, and he's usually
Speaker 4: in his bedroom, I mean, and it's clearly his bedroom.
Speaker 4: There's the bed, there's a chair, it's neat it's like
Speaker 4: the bed's made, but he's like in his bedroom first
Speaker 4: in the morning every morning.
Speaker 6: And then one of the guests. I think Megan McCain
Speaker 6: is one of his guests.
Speaker 4: She's laying down in bed half dark, with like the
Speaker 4: phone up against her ear.
Speaker 5: It just didn't care at all. That's weirdly sexy.
Speaker 4: Well I don't think that's what she was going for,
Speaker 4: but it's like that, I don't care if she's going
Speaker 4: for not even bothering to sit up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, wow, can't be bothered to sit up?
Speaker 11: Yes, Michael, we all got to get a designer that
Speaker 11: we endorse and then we can wear the clothes oh
Speaker 11: yeah every morning.
Speaker 5: When we were on TV for five years, I used
Speaker 5: to uh, I used to push for that and it
Speaker 5: never happened.
Speaker 6: What do you think we should be like the Beatles
Speaker 6: and just all dressed the same?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, precisely like the Beatles. Yes, No, I don't,
Speaker 5: I don't know. I just I feel so give even
Speaker 5: thinking about it. And I almost said I got to get,
Speaker 5: you know, my glasses because they make me look more learned,
Speaker 5: but with clear glass in them. But that is so
Speaker 5: not my ethos that had so Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just and maybe I should get over myself, but no,
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 4: I just can't on all those interesting examples because he's
Speaker 4: such a powerful political thing is Joe Rogan, who clearly
Speaker 4: doesn't give a crap about the lighting is horrible in
Speaker 4: his studio he does. I mean, it's not that he
Speaker 4: doesn't dress up. He doesn't even like dress down like
Speaker 4: he cares. He just comes as he is. Yeah, he's
Speaker 4: worrying like he's dressed like he's gonna.
Speaker 6: Mow the lawn.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but maybe that's part of the appeal.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So do we have time for this? I
Speaker 5: know you're a little pressed for time, all right, I
Speaker 5: tease this. So the making money trying to convince the
Speaker 5: gullible that Charlie Kirk wasn't murdered by a confused young
Speaker 5: man who was rooming with a transgender dude and now
Speaker 5: regrets it and was identified by his family and turned
Speaker 5: in by his family, and it is a tragedy where
Speaker 5: there's nothing but losers. No, indeed, they can't make money
Speaker 5: on that, so they're going with ridiculous conspiracy theories. The
Speaker 5: trial of Tyler Robinson, the murder has been going on.
Speaker 5: So how are figures on the right handling that? Nelly
Speaker 5: Bowles asks, Well, obviously, Candice Owens is arguing that Robinson
Speaker 5: was framed, and then Nelly points out the new angle
Speaker 5: just dropped. I guess this is the hot thing now
Speaker 5: on candas and other places. Where is Charlie Kirk's body buried?
Speaker 5: Oh wow?
Speaker 4: That's yeah, Okay, that one always works for uh, whether
Speaker 4: it's Hitler or whoever the heck?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yep, it's a good one. Uh So, well,
Speaker 5: one guy has a theory. Who is this guy?
Speaker 3: Owen?
Speaker 5: Benjamin Tucker Carlson called his pal Owen Benjamin quote probably
Speaker 5: the smartest, wisest person in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: So he's elite.
Speaker 5: Here's what he's on about now and I quote this
Speaker 5: may sound crazy, but the whole why won't they say
Speaker 5: where Charlie is buried? Thing could be a lot darker
Speaker 5: than people imagine. Did they cremate him?
Speaker 3: Hmmm? I think he could be much darker.
Speaker 5: They ritually, ritualistically eat people, especially their enemies. They say
Speaker 5: it gives them power. That's why the bread and wine
Speaker 5: thing infuriated them, and blood was always the move. Obviously,
Speaker 5: I don't know but I think the most likely outcome
Speaker 5: is his body was eaten by America's trusted.
Speaker 3: Allies, which of course is the Jews.
Speaker 5: Right, So the new line is that Israel or the
Speaker 5: Zionists or Jews.
Speaker 3: Same diff eight Charlie Cook's box.
Speaker 4: Ok okay, that makes sense. Where's Charlie Kirk buried? He's
Speaker 4: not the Jews ate him?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 5: And she makes a point about how this is why
Speaker 5: we need to care about somewhat mainstream media because the
Speaker 5: alternative is horrifying. But then she points out that read
Speaker 5: the Jewish thing. Let's check in with the progressive New
Speaker 5: York publishing world. Here's Simon and Schuster's star author, Susan
Speaker 5: Abbu Wallah, who's sign on on Twitter Blue Sky whatever
Speaker 5: it is is half in English and half Arabic. Her
Speaker 5: first two books are getting reissued this fall. By the way,
Speaker 5: she says, the way Zios keep boasting about the extraordinary
Speaker 5: power they wield reminds me of how they also boasted
Speaker 5: and took credit for Germany's defeat in the First World
Speaker 5: War that culminated in the Treaty of Versailles and led
Speaker 5: to the rise of extreme anti Jewish sentiment history will
Speaker 5: rise In case you don't know the context. She was
Speaker 5: commenting on Pallanteer CEO Alex Karp, who went on a
Speaker 5: podcast and said that if his family hadn't left Germany,
Speaker 5: he'd be a lampshade. So Susan the star of Simon
Speaker 5: and Schuster sided to weigh in in a totally normal way.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 5: First of all, he'd be more useful to humanity as
Speaker 5: a lampshade. Second, how long we have to keep listening
Speaker 5: to this nonsense? He might as well be a bar
Speaker 5: of soap. I forgot to add that perfect utility for
Speaker 5: Alex Krp, mass murdering demon. It's probably not relevant, but
Speaker 5: New York's First Lady Mom Donnie's wife illustrated one of
Speaker 5: her essays, they're artistic collaborators.
Speaker 3: How special is that? That's right?
Speaker 5: So here is a Muslim woman who despises Jews saying
Speaker 5: that any mouthyed Jew would be better off as a
Speaker 5: lampshade or bar of soap, and is defending the Nazis
Speaker 5: publicly celebrated author Never again is now?
Speaker 6: So I have trouble keeping the straight in my head.
Speaker 6: That's all horrifying.
Speaker 4: Y the Jews would eat Charlie Kirk because he was
Speaker 4: working for the Jews. His wife's working for the Jews. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and got it killed because she wanted to take over.
Speaker 4: But then why was she involved in the.
Speaker 6: Eating of him?
Speaker 5: Because she's in that kabbald, evil cabal of the jew Yeah, exactly, that's.
Speaker 3: What they say.
Speaker 5: You know, I was going to announce it the outset
Speaker 5: of the segment that I was going to ruin your
Speaker 5: faith in humanity and then cleverly restore it before we
Speaker 5: start talking about clothing clip thirteen.
Speaker 3: Here you go, restoring it.
Speaker 12: We actually made it today, three hundred and sixty five.
Speaker 12: There's only one way to celebrate this day.
Speaker 6: I want to go click it. Yeah, all right, let's go.
Speaker 12: We've been using the same baseball every single day for
Speaker 12: the entire year, so we'll probably retire this one.
Speaker 3: Fun to spend time with on every single goal.
Speaker 12: Life gets busy, schedules get crazy, but when we set
Speaker 12: aside those five to ten to fifteen minutes every single
Speaker 12: day to spend time with each other, it just gives
Speaker 12: us a chance to connect, and it gives me a
Speaker 12: chance to really build some memories with them.
Speaker 5: Father and son who played catch three hundred and sixty
Speaker 5: five days in a row.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 6: It's awesome. That's my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 4: I have to usually drag my kids to get him
Speaker 4: to do that, football or baseball, to play catch.
Speaker 6: But I love playing catch. I love playing catch with
Speaker 6: my dad. I did it all the time.
Speaker 5: It's one of the wisest and most troubling things I've
Speaker 5: ever heard. Your priorities are what you actually do, what
Speaker 5: you spend your time on.
Speaker 4: Don't say your priorities or something else. All right, what'd
Speaker 4: you do today? Those were your priorities, whether you like
Speaker 4: it or not, whether you admit it or not.
Speaker 6: Finish strong, next strong, New York City.
Speaker 13: A man jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge no clothes, and
Speaker 13: police say it makeshift parachute. Officers pulling him from the
Speaker 13: water in the hospital, in stable condition and now facing
Speaker 13: charges of trespassing, lewdness, and sortly conduct.
Speaker 5: So you're not allowed to parachute naked from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 5: I thought this was America. Jack is off to take
Speaker 5: care of an important family obligation all as well, But
Speaker 5: he just texted the group video of the man cause
Speaker 5: playing as a woman in the French basketball league that
Speaker 5: we're talking about earlier, it is absolutely laughable. It reminds
Speaker 5: me of Monty Python sketch from years and years ago
Speaker 5: where John Clees is boxing like a nine year old
Speaker 5: girl as a grown man, and he if you haven't
Speaker 5: seen it, he dominates the fight as a grown man
Speaker 5: boxing a girl, a little girl.
Speaker 3: The video reminds me of that. Well, we'll post it
Speaker 3: a link Armstrong and Getty dot com or something like that,
Speaker 3: but it is.
Speaker 5: Absolutely If somebody could look at that and say, well, well,
Speaker 5: we're we believe in inclusive inclusivity, and we're in inclusive space,
Speaker 5: and we believe in acceptance and that includes trans women.
Speaker 5: You you've lost your minds, You've let your ideology blind
Speaker 5: you to that which is clearly true, and when you
Speaker 5: wake up, you will be ashamed of yourself and chagrined.
Speaker 3: So the better we get started, or the sooner we
Speaker 3: get started, the better.
Speaker 5: I found this interesting and it's actually affected me, as
Speaker 5: Jack and I have discussed many times. We're both introverts
Speaker 5: and not lovers of small talk. I dread it a
Speaker 5: little bit, and I am jealous of people who are
Speaker 5: good at it and enjoy it.
Speaker 3: I wish I was one of those people.
Speaker 5: But it's like wishing I was six inches taller mostly
Speaker 5: And I was just reading a piece about small talk
Speaker 5: in what are called weak ties among psychologists, as opposed
Speaker 5: to like you and your spouse or your children or
Speaker 5: your closest friends. Those are strong ties and they're very important.
Speaker 5: But psychologists have found that these weak ties are really
Speaker 5: good for us in a lot of ways that are intuitive.
Speaker 5: If you're into it, if it's easy for you, you
Speaker 5: feel that. If it's hard for you, I think you
Speaker 5: have to sell yourself on it.
Speaker 3: But I'm trying very hard to do that.
Speaker 5: A pleasant chat with some we don't know, consue their
Speaker 5: support us when no one else is around, boost our mood,
Speaker 5: It can help broaden our perspective.
Speaker 3: And they quote this.
Speaker 5: Gillian Sanstroum is an Associate professor in the psych oh
Speaker 5: in the Psychology of Kindness the University of Sussex and Britain,
Speaker 5: the author of Once Upon a Stranger, The Science of
Speaker 5: How small Talk can add up to a big life.
Speaker 5: And we're absolutely social beasts, human beings, that's obvious. And
Speaker 5: at one point she says, small talk is fun. You
Speaker 5: get a window into another person's life, and it is
Speaker 5: fun once you, as an introvert, overcome your hesitation.
Speaker 3: I don't think fears the right word exactly, but it's close.
Speaker 3: But anyway.
Speaker 5: One of my takeaways from this, she says, look, first
Speaker 5: of all, why is small talk? Small talk hard for
Speaker 5: so many people? And she says, the fear connects to
Speaker 5: that need to belong. It's so important to us that
Speaker 5: we are really scared that we will get it wrong.
Speaker 5: We were already that if we talk too much or
Speaker 5: too little, the other person won't like us, and evolutionarily
Speaker 5: that was really bad news because we'd be cast out
Speaker 5: of the tribe. That's part of it. That's just part
Speaker 5: of it. Also, there's a personality type that you love
Speaker 5: talking about like your vacation. Then the other person talks
Speaker 5: about their vacation, and none of it's tear interesting. But
Speaker 5: just the sharing of the information and saying we're friendly
Speaker 5: with each other is really satisfying to some people, people
Speaker 5: like me. And Jacket's not it's it's I don't want
Speaker 5: to say anything judgmental about it. It just it's not fun.
Speaker 5: It's not nourishing, really, But I like this part. But
Speaker 5: it's okay if it's boring, and she says, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 5: it's not going to be interesting. But research shows that
Speaker 5: even when people talk about a subject that's boring, they
Speaker 5: enjoy the conversation more than they expected because they're connecting
Speaker 5: with another human being and it feels good. My final
Speaker 5: thought would be her conversation strategy, especially if you don't
Speaker 5: like small talk.
Speaker 3: Jack, that was weird? Was that different? Did somebody mess
Speaker 3: with it?
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I hadn't take my head on
Speaker 6: top for it.
Speaker 3: It was extra satanic. It's like the world's most horrifying disco.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was awful.
Speaker 3: All right, I am your host, Joe Geddy.
Speaker 5: Let's get a final thought from everybody who is on
Speaker 5: the crew still.
Speaker 3: Michael Angelow in the control room lead us on. Michael
Speaker 3: final thought.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the WNBA plays during the summer. The regular NBA
Speaker 11: plays during the fall. I want NBA players to come
Speaker 11: out as women during the summer and play in the WNBA.
Speaker 5: What's a good way to stay in shape? Yeah, you dominate? Yeah,
Speaker 5: just call yourself trans woman. It's fine, Katie.
Speaker 3: A final thought for.
Speaker 7: Us, I'm tired of being a costume. I am not
Speaker 7: a sis woman.
Speaker 6: I am a woman.
Speaker 7: And just because you put a wig and address on
Speaker 7: does not make you a woman.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're a woman. I'm not a biologist.
Speaker 5: Oh the things that are said with a straight face
Speaker 5: this decade will be hooted at till the end of history.
Speaker 5: My final thought, here's your conversation strategy.
Speaker 6: Quick.
Speaker 5: The qu is for question. Ask you a question, how's
Speaker 5: your day going? Where can your recommend ee? Virtually anything
Speaker 5: hick stands for in common. That's why people talk about
Speaker 5: the weather, talk about the line they're in, and K
Speaker 5: is for kindness. The easiest thing is to offer someone
Speaker 5: to compliment. A compliment from someone who doesn't know you
Speaker 5: feels more sincere. It gives you a reason to talk.
Speaker 5: Then it should be Swiss sailing.
Speaker 3: Quick.
Speaker 5: We'll see you tomorrow. I have a great day. God
Speaker 5: bless America.
Speaker 4: I'm Strong and Getchy.
