Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
- [03:29]
C
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and get. Did you tell me or not that women like to see asking you questions? Exactly. Exactly. Get out of the way. No. Now he knows how to be a man, right? Now he knows how to be a man. Stay out of the women's locker room. We don't want it. He needs to have his gym membership evoked with that. And the woman told you he assaulted me. The girl told already. We already follow points. No, no.
- [04:08]
A
That's fun.
- [04:08]
C
I love the video. You can't get rid of me for this. I'm a woman and I have every right to not want a man in the restroom when I'm naked. There are girls naked in there. Look at them walking in there like it's okay. It's not okay.
- [04:19]
D
That's Tish Hyman at the Gold's Gym in LA objecting to a full grown man pretending to be a woman in the locker room. As she made clear there more on the gen. We don't moments.
- [04:31]
C
We don't want it by it. She met a penis. We don't want that.
- [04:36]
D
Certainly not. It's sneaking up behind you.
- [04:39]
C
So coming up, they're going to be a private woman's space unless they end the shutdown. They're going to be 4,500 or more flights canceled tomorrow. The list of airports now out. We can hit you with that a little bit. Kim Kardashian is starring in a new evening drama that has gotten zero percent from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. And I don't think that's ever happened before. 0%. It's not easy to do. We've got a mayor of a small town in Kansas who got elected and then they figured out he's a foreign national, illegal, and has been voting for years and got elected mayor.
- [05:14]
D
That's no bueno.
- [05:15]
C
That's a good story. So we got lots of stuff on the way.
- [05:17]
D
So back to the gender bending madness. Before we get to back into the Gold's Gym controversy, in which a woman objected to a grown man in her locker room looking at her naked.
- [05:29]
C
We don't want it.
- [05:29]
D
She was kicked out of Gold's Gym for objecting because, look, the gender bending madness thing, it is 100% peaked because, as we've reported several times, the number of adolescent girls claiming to be transgender is plunged. It's been cut in half in like a year and a half. It was clearly A is social contagion and B, a fashionable way to say I'm against the status quo because I'm young and cool in a way that everybody does. But unfortunately, you know, back in the day, you grew your hair long or whatever and you didn't get your healthy breasts cut off and be fed hormones to sterilize you and postpone puberty or whatever, much of which which is irreversible. So it's absolutely evil. Evil social contagion pushed along by monstrous medical professionals and counselors. But we won't get into that. I just wanted to say before we get into the LA thing really quickly, there's a kind of funny pie that I came across. One of the guys who runs Wikipedia, one of the co founders has said it's become unforgivably woke and needs to go away. And the other co founder founder who's still there, Jimmy Wales, said, no, no.
- [06:45]
C
No, that's not true.
- [06:46]
D
For instance, you know, the whole what is a woman? Thing is a gotcha question, but on Wikipedia it shows a woman is defined as an adult human female. And that rebuts the claim that Wikipedia is crazy woke left. But if you go to the article specifically on the term adult human female, it's described as a slogan adopted by Anti gender and Gender Critical, also known as TERF movements, followed by the claim. Scholars describe it as a dog whistle for transphobic beliefs and a form of coded hate speech.
- [07:21]
C
While the term woman is a dog.
- [07:24]
D
Whistle to say adult human female.
- [07:27]
C
Okay, yeah, wow.
- [07:30]
D
The article also characterizes it as trans exclusionary and gender essentialist statement, limiting women to those strictly assigned female at birth and cisgender.
- [07:38]
C
Now, Elon started up Grokopedia after working on it for several weeks. I haven't heard a word about it. I haven't looked into it. I haven't used it. I haven't heard about anybody using it to try to counterbalance Wikipedia.
- [07:51]
D
Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to check it out. Anyway, I'm curious. So the. The good folks at TMZ got hold of the fella who is masqueraded as a woman and invaded women's private locker rooms. And. And how the employees of Gold's Gym, and indeed corporations like Gold's Gym, are so dim witted about social stuff like this, all they do is respond to whoever yells the loudest. They have no moral stance. Maybe they shouldn't. They're a gym. They have no moral clarity. They have no courage. They're just going, which way the wind blows. And they haven't gotten the word that the wind has switched. Anyway, the good folks at TMZ got hold of this Alexis Black, the faux woman, and asked him about how he explains himself.
- [08:40]
C
You know, I don't want to get terribly graphic here, but can you kind of explain, you know, how you appeared? You know, do you believe that she was reading something in that you didn't appear to be male. She perceived you to be such. Well, first I told the people that raised me that this is the way that I was when I was 8 years old. And really I stuffed it down pretty deep and I began using hormones this year in February, and I actually relinquished that information to her about, you know, name change. And it says female on my ID and hormones. And I mean, I'm registered as a female with the gym. So.
- [09:27]
D
Yes, ma', am. They go on.
- [09:31]
C
So let's. So look from her perspective. I'm just wondering if you see her perspective. She's saying that she's looking at you, say, in a towel, and you still have male genitalia. And, you know, you may be transitioning, but could you understand her being uncomfortable?
- [09:52]
B
Well, I certainly do not understand it, but I do get the notion of the fear mongering that she's perpetuating.
- [10:02]
C
The truth in the moment is far.
- [10:06]
B
From what she is purporting it to be.
- [10:09]
C
Literally, every time that she's done that, I've had women in the locker room.
- [10:13]
B
Comforting me because of how aggressive she was towards me.
- [10:17]
D
Okay, so we've established that the only reason a woman would not want a man in a locker room is fear mongering. Katie, any thoughts on that? My head. I feel like my head's gonna explode.
- [10:28]
A
If.
- [10:28]
D
If you are in a place where women are changing and they turn around.
- [10:33]
C
And they see crank a penis, that's not okay.
- [10:37]
D
Just a full grown man. This is fully clothed.
- [10:40]
C
Yeah, he. And for anybody who hasn't seen him, he looks like a dude.
- [10:45]
D
He look, everything about him is a dude except for the earrings and like.
- [10:49]
C
She had said, the lip gloss. This is ridiculous. They have no respect for women anymore at all, whatsoever.
- [10:56]
D
This is what you get with radical ideologies like that. He couldn't even admit, yeah, I understand her discomfort because I'm still transitioning, but I, in my soul, I'm a woman. No, he could not even. No, I don't get it. It's only fear mongering.
- [11:10]
C
Well, then Gold's Gym is in a difficult position. I'm sure. You know, their lawyers are saying, look, here's where we are in reality in.
- [11:19]
D
California, keep in mind, where Gavin Newsom pretended to understand people's discomfort but did nothing about it because he's a liar.
- [11:26]
C
Yeah. Depending on what city or state you're in, you could be, you know, could cost you a lot of money. They got an ID that says they're a woman and we didn't allow them in, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I just. And I think about, like, what about the woman who's in that locker room who may have gone through sexual assault.
- [11:43]
D
In her past or something like that? Right, right. And there she is, naked, and a man looms up beside her.
- [11:49]
C
Yeah. And if you bring it up and complain, you get kicked out of the.
- [11:52]
D
Gym because you're fear. Right. Like those poor girl volleyball players in California and young woman volleyball players. And. And how did I let her name flip out of my head? The heroic swimmer Riley Gaines protested. Yeah, Riley Gaines against that fellow Leah Thomas, dominating the swimming and being in the locker room with her. They were the bad people in these scenarios. Harvey Levin continues his interview with the little lady.
- [12:22]
C
So she was saying, why don't they have a third bathroom, especially the gym you're talking about at the Beverly center that's been recently built and they had a layout that they could have adjusted and they could have put a third locker room in. Do you think that would have been appropriate? Or do you feel like you are as entitled to use the women's locker room just as Tish is? You know, that's a great question.
- [12:52]
B
I'm glad that she said it.
- [12:54]
C
That you have put it on the air. And the answer is that would necessitate two different ones, because some people trans mtf, some people go ftm. And so that's, that's two rooms right there. You're not gonna put a trans woman with a trans man, just because we're trans, that seems like a whole new envelope of discrimination. But you'd have to have a minimum of four changing rooms.
- [13:25]
D
Or we could just have dudes and chicks, right?
- [13:28]
C
Yeah. Harvey Levin's good. If you've ever never watched tmz, he knows exactly how absurd the world is, whether it's celebrities or this sort of stuff. And he just milks it for attention and money.
- [13:40]
D
Right. We have another clip of the gentleman explaining that he's glad this happened because it'll help people understand he's a woman. I'm not sure I have the time and patience for that. I think we're already far enough down the road to Crazyville. We have not gotten a chance to get back to the LA soccer team trans op ed and the response to that that we talked about yesterday. And I want to, maybe we can do that, I don't know, tomorrow or, you know, we could do it next segment. But it's the dynamic of it is it take too long to explain the very, very short version.
- [14:25]
C
Women.
- [14:27]
D
One woman finds the courage to say, hey, this is really uncool in women's sports. Loud minority of far left progressives in the league screech that that person is a bigot and a transphobe and the rest of it and doesn't speak for the rest of us. And it's coming out that the silent bullied majority are like, yeah, we don't want dudes in the league, but we're afraid to say anything. That's the dynamic, particularly among women in particularly. And in California, in particularly.
- [15:04]
C
Is Gold's Gym an adults only gym or do they allow minors? A lot of gyms you can't have anybody younger than a certain age. But I mean if you could have, if there could be 13 year old girls changing in there, that's another level of ick.
- [15:18]
D
Well, that happens all over America in blue jurisdictions that have gone over to the radical gender theory thing. You have grown men in locker room with semi undressed adolescent girls.
- [15:35]
C
I would lose my mind if my daughter was in the locker room changing. Yes, Katie. Yeah, it goes club by club. So some are as young as 12.
- [15:43]
D
But some require you to be 18.
- [15:44]
C
My 12 year old daughter is changing clothes in the gym we just worked out and some dude is naked in there. I would freaking lose my ass.
- [15:52]
D
He would be bodily removed and I would suffer the consequences gladly. Yeah, yeah. A more cheery note that we can all agree on the incredible work Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has done for the last 25 years. 21 years. If you're not familiar with Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, they've stood beside our ill and injured warriors providing transitional housing, support services, outdoor therapy and the chance to rebuild their lives.
- [16:16]
C
Current mission, at least right now for Europe purposes, is to fly the warriors home for the holidays. And for those who can't fly, the families will be flown to them so that they get to hang out with their family during the holidays. And it's a donation you make. It's a way to say thank you to our warriors so they can wake up in their own beds on Christmas morning.
- [16:35]
D
No one deserves to be alone during the holidays, especially those who've sacrificed so much for our freedom. Please consider a gift to those who have so bravely sacrificed for this great country. For more than a decade, the generous donations from Armstrong and Getty listeners have helped Warrior Foundation Freedom Station create a place where warriors begin their journey to healing and independence. They do fabulous work. Platinum rating at Charity Navigator. Wonderful folks. Donate now. Call 619 Warrior, that's 619 Warrior or visit warriorfoundation.org that's warriorfoundation.org Today is the annual Warrior Foundation Freedom Station giveathon. Get the name right.

C
Is making people nuts like they always do. Interesting.
- [17:22]
D
Full Beaver Supermoon. Whatever was Come on, that's like the.
- [17:27]
C
Best name ever that's going on right now. But anyway, it's making people crazy as it always has. It's where the word lunatic comes from. Some interesting information on that coming up. Stay tuned.

This is CJ from Point Game with Isaiah Thomas and CJ Toledano. This week it had a great take on why Wemby should win more than the mvp. Take a listen. So look, this how I break it down. I said for he can get MVP defensive player of the year and most improve in one year. How he's came out the gate. So an average fan or somebody might be like, okay, well he was the number one pick. He's an all star. How is he gonna be most improved? Leave that for somebody that maybe changed roles or got more minutes.
- [20:09]
B
Cause it's like if you break it.
- [20:10]
C
Down like this, say If I average 20 points a game, 20 and 5 in one year, then the next year I come back and average 30 and 10. Why am I not in consideration for most improved?

Some business news ahead of the upcoming movie Wicked for Good, Dunkin Donuts just unveiled the new Wicked themed menu. People were like, is that why the donuts are green? And Duncan said, sure.
- [22:50]
D
Wow. Why the animosity? It is a perfectly delightful eatery slash coffee emporium.
- [22:58]
C
Sure it is. Although last couple times, we don't have Duncan's in around here in California. Last couple times I've been somewhere, they have Duncan's. When I was in Florida, they were stale. Last couple times I've been very disappointing. Yeah, I might have been getting the excuse. I don't understand why any business does the kind of skews me version that they put in a Target or a convenience store or whatever. And it's a lesser version of, you know, your Kentucky Fried Chicken or your Aw or your Dunkin Donuts or whatever. I don't know why you do that.
- [23:34]
D
Taints the name.
- [23:35]
C
Absolutely does. Don't use that word, but it absolutely does. I haven't heard this story yet. This report let's see if it lives up to the hype of an illegal elected mayor. The mayor of Coldwater accused of election fraud. The charges come hours after he secured a second term in office. Attorney General Kris Kobach charged Mayor Jose Joe Ceballos with six felonies, three counts each of voting without being qualified and election perjury. Kobach claims Ceballos is lawfully living in the US but is a citizen of Mexico, making him ineligible to vote. The AG alleges the mayor illegally cast ballots in the August 2024 primary and November 2022 and 2023 general elections. So here legally. No.
- [24:27]
D
Here legally.
- [24:28]
C
Legally, but not allowed to vote. Not. Not legally allowed to vote. That's a lawful resident, but you don't get to vote. And got elected mayor and has been voting for a long time. How often does that happen? Who knows? That's a tiny little town in Kansas near where I'm from. But here's a question for you.
- [24:43]
D
He shouldn't vote. I mean, it's against the law and he must suffer the consequences. But can he run for mayor?
- [24:49]
C
I don't know. And should he just vote for himself? Is that town a full of people like him where he would be a better representative of their needs wants Quite possibly.
- [24:57]
D
Well, it appears that they're about to reelect him.
- [24:59]
C
Yeah, maybe.
- [25:00]
D
You did a hell of a good job.
- [25:01]
C
I wanted to get this on. So we got a blue super harvest. Crazy moon. One of those moons going full moon anyway. And two medical professionals have told me in the last couple of days, completely unprompt, where I was just like, you know, how's it going? Oh, crazy night last night with the full moon. We were jam packed. Somebody who works at NER and then somebody similar sort of job. I. I didn't know that was real. They said, oh, it's just anytime there's a full moon, we're just packed. We. We gear up for it.
- [25:34]
D
I've heard that many times in my life from people and it surprised me each time.
- [25:39]
C
Do you feel like you are affected anyway, when there's a full moon, I. I get a little of a. Wow, that looks beautiful. That's really cool. Like seeing a nice sunset. But I don't think it makes me want to commit a crime or be crazy.
- [25:52]
D
Katie, I don't know is the answer for me. I don't know. Wow, that's pretty.
- [25:56]
C
It doesn't affect me, but I have.
- [25:58]
D
A friend that will blame mood swings on the moon.
- [26:01]
C
There you go. The tide there.
- [26:03]
D
Well, it's certainly possible that there's what, 10% of the population or 20 or whatever. Pick a number that is affected by the gravitational pull in a way that we don't understand yet.

The world of Elon Musk is bigger.
- [31:04]
C
From his multi billion dollar social media company X to the building where his SpaceX rockets are assembled.
- [31:10]
D
Now he's in line for a Tesla.
- [31:11]
C
Pay package that would make El Elon Musk history's first trillionaire. Some shareholders have suggested that if he.
- [31:17]
D
Doesn'T get it, Musk will leave the electric carmaker.
- [31:21]
C
Yeah, he would. He could become a trillionaire if he hits all the goals. And if he hits all the goals, he would be worth it, is the thing. But I doubt he would hit all the goals. Who, who hits all their goals?
- [31:37]
D
Well, you keep them low enough, you might. That's the key. Be realistic.
- [31:42]
C
Aim low.
- [31:44]
D
Coming up. Speaking of aiming high, why there are so many incredibly long field goals being kicked in the NFL right now. The dark arts behind kicking. Plus, believe it or not, some really interesting Covid headlines have emerged. We must learn from that debacle lest we repeat it.
- [32:02]
C
So Kim Kardashian went to law school, flunked the bar, and she's blaming chat GPT for giving her some bad information. Is that the story?
- [32:11]
D
Well, yeah, for flunking tests in general.
- [32:14]
C
Okay.
- [32:15]
D
Yeah. Because she would like ask it questions and it would give her the wrong answer and she would put those on the test and was wrong and blamed it.
- [32:24]
C
I don't have any sense of how smart she is.
- [32:26]
D
I've always, oh my God, you're a computer. You're supposed to be. Right.
- [32:29]
C
I've always assumed she has to be smarter than her Persona because you don't accidentally end up a billionaire just because you're hot.
- [32:36]
D
Yeah, she probably has like 7.4% DITs in her Persona and she tracks it carefully. Yeah, I have, I have a feeling she's a lot smarter than she pretends to be.
- [32:48]
C
She is. In a new drama. It's on one of your streaming services that got a 0% on the critics rating. Rotten tomatoes. That's low. I'd say that's low. Some economic news for you. We mentioned earlier that the median age for a first time buyer has hit 40 years old for buying a house. It was 29 in 1981. It is now 40.
- [33:19]
D
Keeping in mind that was the median age. There were as many younger as there were older.
- [33:26]
C
Now it's a little misleading in that it is harder to afford a house now. But people that can afford a house also aren't necessarily buying houses depending on where you live. I'm in that category because we've decided it's not the smart thing to do financially. So, you know, so it's not all can't afford it. It's some shouldn't buy one now who could afford it. So it's a little different. But it's still a pretty major change in the structure of society, I would say.
- [33:55]
D
Oh yeah, definitely. And like you say, there are several factors at work.
- [34:01]
C
That came out yesterday, this came out today from whatever agency tracks this sort of thing. It's out from the. It doesn't matter who it came from. Now I'm curious myself, the federal something or other, who keeps track of this? Americans. Americans that have accumulated a record amount of household debt reaching approximately $18.6 trillion, driven largely by rising mortgage, auto loan and credit card balances. Factors contributing to this increase include stubborn inflation, higher interest rates. People were carrying credit card debt, and now, you know, at the interest rates where they are, it accumulates and maybe you can't pay it off or catch up. Oh, the Federal Reserve bank of New York did their study for the whole country record $1.14 trillion in credit card debt, and it's continued to rise a record auto loan debt, student loans. Part of why this has hit a new record is student loans kicked in and they weren't counted there for several years for all kinds of dumb reasons. But now they have kicked back in again and that got added there and HELOCs, your home equity line of credit has seen a record. So people who are struggling to pay the debt apparently are taking out some of the money from their home, the equity of their home, to get caught up, which is. Man, that's, that's a downward spiral when you start doing that.
- [35:36]
D
Right. Yeah, that's. It's. Yeah, it has its downside, definitely.
- [35:41]
C
Not surprisingly, younger borrowers 18 to 29 are struggling the most with late payments. Currently. Currently.
- [35:48]
D
Well, and I was just. And look, if you have this problem, it's because you've done reasonably well financially and nobody wants to hear about it, but I know from personal experience and actually talking to somebody else the other day that if you have investments because the stock market is up so much and you have such capital gains, instead of cashing out out x amount of investments to do a remodel, for instance, asking for a friend and you look at the tax liability you have, you're better off borrowing the money. Let's see, I could pay 20%, you know, or 15, depending on your tax bracket or whatever it is, or the current rate for the mortgage. Six, seven, eight percent.
- [36:33]
C
Right. Well, the.
- [36:37]
D
Although you know, somebody who's late on their car payment, that's not their problem. It's a different problem.
- [36:41]
C
No way. We're not giving financial advice here. And some of this is obvious. Just, just.
- [36:45]
D
And if we do, I would ignore.
- [36:47]
C
It just based on my life experience of observing myself and others. If you have heavy, big credit card debt this is the sort of thing that, what's a financial radio. Dave Ramsey, Dave Ramsey would tell you. Yeah. I mean, because your credit card, you're paying. What are you paying on a credit card now? 25. I don't even know what it is. It's a lot. And you could take money out of your house and pay 7%. Well, then that would be a smart move. The problem is if you take that money out of your house to pay down your credit card debt, but then rack up more credit card debt.
- [37:23]
D
Right?
- [37:24]
C
Like, you know, and just, you know, it. You didn't fix a problem, you just temporarily fixed a problem or God forbid.
- [37:32]
D
You know, housing values should decline steeply. If you're shopping for a house, you're thinking, what do you mean, God forbid?
- [37:39]
C
Anyway, as we have been saying for years now, whenever you have unprecedented this or that, you get unprecedented results. And we've got unprecedented debt right now. Like an unprecedented number of late payments on cars, for instance. And that sort of stuff. It, you know, it usually leads somewhere.
- [37:57]
D
Yeah. But the time honored conservative financial advice is as true as it's ever been. It's just out of fashion.
- [38:07]
C
Hit somebody on the head with a rock and take their watch. What is the conservative time honored advice? No, no.
- [38:13]
D
Save to buy things.
- [38:15]
C
Oh, yeah.
- [38:16]
D
Extend your credit over and over again.
- [38:18]
C
I know I'm never going to be able to get this through to my kids, but I tell them this all the time, hoping it will sink in at some point. You will make a different decision over what cell phone you get if you pay cash for it. That's why they won't let you pay cash for it. And they make you to go through the whole. You have to wait a month to pay cash for it. But you will make a different decision. If you're making a payment and it's only $8 more, you'll buy the most expensive phone. If you're paying cash, you'll think, I don't need the most expensive one. Same with a car. Same with all kinds. Same with the TV at Best Buy. Same with all kinds of stuff. I do it myself if I'm paying.
- [38:52]
D
Tax tickets these days and a pair of pants. You want to, they want you to, you know, buy now, pay later. Oh, it's an insidious trap, folks. An ip, the monthly payment.
- [39:03]
C
Whoever invented that was, it was a brilliant idea.
- [39:07]
D
Yeah, yeah. Live less than your means. End of lecture.
- [39:12]
C
Yeah, yeah. So.
- [39:16]
D
And also, don't get hacked or have your identity stolen. That's more good advice.
- [39:20]
C
Yeah. We did this Story earlier that the Louvre had for the password for their security system. Louvre.
- [39:28]
D
Oh boy.
- [39:30]
C
Pretty easy to hack. Maybe you've got a more complicated one though. On some fishing expedition or something. Like somebody hacks into your stuff and now your information's out on the dark web.
- [39:38]
D
What do you do? Yeah, even if you're not a French jackass, there are new scams every day. Text, emails, data breaches. The stuff Jack was talking about. That's why we recommend Webroot Total protection. It's lightning fast. Antivirus, identity theft protection, dark web monitoring, secure VPN and unlimited cloud backup all in one.

- [40:32]
C
Oh, I meant to get into that discussion about total debt with the whole word of the last 48 hours. Affordability that all political pundits are saying. That's why Democrats did so well. They talked about affordability while Republicans were talking about something else. That's their claim anyway. But affordability certainly is a major, major issue. That's what got mom Donnie elected. That and he's a tremendous political talent that gets left out of these things all the time. The best politician often wins.
- [41:06]
D
It's a nationwide referendum on Trump's blah, blah, blah. Now, now the one person was waiting for.
- [41:11]
C
It's just not a, you know, a couple of widgets and you pick whichever widget based on the economy or this or that or hating Trump. They run a race and have a personality and you like them or don't.
- [41:23]
D
I mean it's frequently focused on a lot of local issues.
- [41:28]
C
Really good politician Andy won. Andrew Cuomo is a million years old.
- [41:32]
D
Corrupt and horrible, and he lost.
- [41:35]
C
So I don't know how much you need to read into that. But anyway, back to affordability. Trump knows that Trump has his finger on the pulse as well as anybody. And so he announces today they're gonna come up with a way to really cut the price of the weight loss, drugs. He looks out on America and says, I see a bunch of Poor fat people who are gonna vote.
- [41:54]
D
That's just, that's just insensitive.
- [41:55]
C
That's the way Trump looks at the world. I guarantee you I see a bunch.
- [41:59]
D
Of poor fat people and I'm tell him he's insensitive for me.
- [42:04]
C
I'm gonna get him to vote for me by lowering the price of all this different stuff. Then we all. And once it gets cheap enough that we can all afford it, then we've all gotta do more research or decide for ourselves. What if you're not like profoundly obese, but you're just. Practically everybody's a little heavier than they'd like to be. Do you go on the drug to lose 10 pounds, 20 pounds?
- [42:26]
D
Depends if it makes you act like your business goose. Oh boy. And a little side effecty. I was gonna say being the gentleman here, but you with your childish idiotic character.
- [42:37]
C
Katie, are you heavier than you want to be right now? Yes, I am.
- [42:42]
D
She's pregnant.
- [42:43]
C
Well, yeah, that's right, I forgot you're pregnant. Completely unfair question.
- [42:48]
D
Yeah. Fair chance to beat up on Jack, Michael. Take advantage. What were you thinking, Jack? Yes. Monster.
- [42:55]
C
He just asked a pregnant woman why she's so fat. No. So were you. Did you want to lose weight before you got pregnant? Yeah, I probably had like I, about five pounds. I, I want to lose probably eight pounds. So how many people are gonna do you think? Joe, you've probably read up on this more than the rest of us. How will people who want to lose eight pounds go on these strikes drug?
- [43:17]
D
Is that unlikely unlike 16, 20 pounds? Definite possibility. Yeah, but it's still pretty expensive.
- [43:24]
C
Well, I'm just saying in if it got down cheap enough that you didn't weren't concerned about the price really.
- [43:29]
D
Yeah, A lot of people would. 100. Yeah. To see if these side effects hit you. Those that it did though. They did. They would probably give it up. But people who tolerated it pretty well would probably. Yeah, go ahead and lose the weight.
- [43:42]
C
If I have. What is the that term? Spontaneous. And if I have spontaneous. If I have spontaneous and uncontrollable bowel movements. Not worth the trade off.
- [43:52]
D
But I've always been told it's good to be spontaneous in most of life, but not all of it.
- [44:01]
C
I wouldn't be surprised if not too soon. Half of us are on one of those drugs.
- [44:10]
D
It would not be surprising, especially after the data comes in. The insurance companies realize, oh, we pay for this, we save ourselves money long term.
- [44:17]
C
Yeah, yeah, you'll see it. Yeah. Knee operations or, or, or high blood pressure or whatever the heck it is.
- [44:23]
D
100 examples yeah, yeah, interesting. Coming up, the football is juiced plus important Covid news seriously, Armstrong and Getty let's be real.

A number of texts from people who work in professions where they say yeah, during full moons, especially the equinoxes, there's all kind of mental health issues, people going crazy. People stop taking their medication sometimes that time of year because the full moon and equinoxes. Wow.
- [49:17]
D
I know.
- [49:18]
C
Isn't that nuts?
- [49:19]
D
That's crazy.
- [49:20]

I did not know that.
- [49:21]
D
And you, you reminded me. I've heard that from cops as well. It's gonna be a busy night tonight because of the. I just thought it was because, you know there's more light out so people Decide to adventure more? I don't know.
- [49:33]
C
Well, it was cloudy here during our full moon and two medical professionals who work in me. It was nuts.
- [49:40]
D
I'll be dang. Katie, you look poised to comment. Well, I just, I. I definitely notice when I'm driving. I always. I notice people drive.
- [49:48]
C
Yeah. Okay.
- [49:50]
D
Yeah, I'm saying confirmation bias, but I could be wrong. I could absolutely be wrong. So two stories about COVID One from the wow, that's cool department. The other from the you evil bastards department.
- [50:04]
C
Two very different department.
- [50:06]
D
The first researchers at the University of Texas MD answer Maryland. Anderson Cancer center and the University of Florida have found that patients with this kind of lung cancer who received an MRNA COVID vaccine with when within 100 days of beginning this kind of drug they were talking had a median overall survival rate of 37 and a half months.
- [50:32]
C
Months.
- [50:32]
D
Which doesn't sound like a lot, but that's nearly double that of patients who did not receive the COVID vaccine.
- [50:40]
C
You get the COVID vaccine, you live longer with lung cancer.
- [50:43]
D
Yes, this particular kind in this particular treatment. And it's not because the other ones died of COVID And by the way and I'll get to why they think it's happening. But the three year survival rates were also stronger. About 56% for vaccinated patients compared with 30.5% for their unvaccinated peers. The vaccines were not designed to treat cancer, but to teach the body to recognize the coronavirus spike protein. We all remember that. This new research however, shows the MRNA vaccine also activated powerful immune pathways that enhanced the body's natural defense network and strengthened its readiness to fight the cancer. Cancer researchers don't fully understand why this occurred or why the effect was so potent. Unlocking those mechanisms could open the door to even more effective therapies. But long story short, the cancer researchers socks were knocked off by that revelation. Really interesting. Now onto you evil bastards. Oh, in moment the ball is juiced. That's why they're kicking such incredibly long field goals so accurately these days in the NFL. But a prominent virologist American guy who collaborated with the I've never heard of it. Wuhan Institute of virology before the COVID 19 pandemic privately informed the US intelligence community in January 2020. That's at the very beginning that the Chinese lab may be responsible for the outbreak break we're all talking about and studying. But one month later, after a long meeting with Anthony Fauci, the White House health advisor, the researcher stayed mum about the Wuhan lab and lent credence to the discredited wet market theory which he had just rejected.
- [52:38]
C
I heard as recently as three weeks ago, a month ago, somebody state definitively on NPR that has been debunked the idea that it came out of the Wuhan Lab lab.
- [52:48]
D
Wow, you ignoramus. So this guy, Dr. Ralph Barak, he's with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he's a virologist warned the office of the DNI during a closed door presentation on or around January 29, 2020 that the Wuhan Lab was conducting risky gain of function experiments on bat viruses similar to the One that causes COVID 19 may have accidentally released the virus into the human population. It went beyond mere speculation. Considered one of the world's foremost experts on coronavirus, he experimented with coronavirus viruses in 2015 at the very Wuhan Institute of Virology with their top researcher. Later, in early 24, he testified to House investigators he had privately warned her that her lab lacked sufficient biosafety protections and he always believed a lab leak origin was possible. But a month later, after getting, I don't know, tortured or pictures of his grandkids being sent to him by Anthony Fauci, he, he, he clamped up and would not talk about it.
- [53:48]
C
I wonder if we'll ever get the full story for real on that.
- [53:52]
D
Probably not clear whether people will believe it because like our NPR friend, they've been so diluted real quick. In the off season, the NFL made a small tweak to the rules governing so called K balls kicking balls. The teams get them way in advance and can mess with the balls so they're easier to kick. They're much more alive and easy to kick for kickers. That's why everybody's kicking such long field goals these days.
- [54:22]
C
Well, they.
- [54:23]
D
I wish I had time to explain how they do it. Maybe next hour. If you don't get next hour, you really ought to subscribe to our podcast Armstrong and Getty on Demand.
