Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Armstrong,
Jack Armstrong
not live from Studio C. Joe is celebrating his anniversary and I decided to take the day off. And yet I am here in spirit
Joe Getty
and in voice via the miracle of what we call recording.
Jack Armstrong
I'm hearing voice, but not in spirit.
Joe Getty
I'm faking it. So we've assembled a bunch of the most amusing, insightful, wacky whatever clips of last several weeks, plus some unheard audio from the One More Thing podcast. Enjoy the Armstrong and giddy replay.
Advertiser/Announcer
Eric Swalwell's political career is now all but over here, as he dropped out of the governor's race in California. Now he's resigning from Congress. In a statement, he said he's, quote, deeply sorry to my family, staff and constituents for mistakes in judgment and I've made in my past. I will fight the serious false allegation made against me, adding, must take responsibility and ownership for those mistakes.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. His number one issue right now might be his wife. Very well could be.
Joe Getty
And charges possible in Manhattan.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be a big deal. But if, if your wife was unaware of your behavior and that, that's, that's, that's. That'd be lead of mine. I don't know where he's sleeping at night, but.
Joe Getty
Right. All right. I don't have his statement in front of me because I don't care that much, but his combination of vehement denial of charges yet I've made many terrible lapses in judgment and I'm a horrible person. But I didn't do anything seriously wrong. Was. It was a funny attempt at having it both ways.
Jack Armstrong
Well, I think it could be true. Unless there's some stuff I haven't heard. I was kind of. Because I went to the Springsteen concert. I was kind of out of the news flow yesterday. But as of yesterday morning, when we were talking about this, I hadn't heard anything that sounded like a crime yet.
Joe Getty
And that I get drunk with chicks and we have sex. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And then sometimes they decide they wish they hadn't. But. Okay, that's not a crime either. So I can see where he'd have been in a. Yeah, I shouldn't have been doing that. Especially I was married. I didn't commit any crime. So now if there's new stuff in the last 24 hours I haven't heard then that I, I'll admit to that.
Joe Getty
And certainly if there were any legitimate sexual assaults, there's nothing amusing in the slightest about that. On the other hand, what we heard yesterday was a bunch of, yeah, we got drunk and had sex, which I don't know if, you know, this happens a lot in the world.
Jack Armstrong
Well, you're both super hammered and barely remember what happened. And, you know, you can't convict people on that.
Joe Getty
No, indeed. This is. And this, really, Jack, is a fond and bittersweet farewell to the Swalwell for governor. And here is an ad he just put together not long ago, walking down the beach holding hands with his wife. 67.
Jack Armstrong
Michael, do you ever think I'd run for governor? Absolutely not. You ready to do, like, a public conversion video? I don't think you need mine. You have Adam Schiff. So what do you think voters should know about me? Besides what they only seen on tv? That you're a really great dad.
Guest/Interviewee
You're a really good husband.
Jack Armstrong
I think the kids and I can count on you for anything.
Joe Getty
And if I gave you the choice,
Guest/Interviewee
I'm not sure if you would choose
Jack Armstrong
to be governor of California or have
Advertiser/Announcer
the 49ers win the Super Bowl.
Jack Armstrong
49 governor, definitely. Being governor of California and making a place where when we retire, it's a place where our kids and everyone's kids can afford to live. You're gonna be a great governor, Rex.
Joe Getty
You know, I almost made a joke, but then I thought it's kind at her expense. And I have no idea the dynamic there. She might be completely flabbergasted by all of and is in terrible pain. So I'm not going to pile on.
Jack Armstrong
It's impossible. No, it could be the Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton relationship where she was completely aware that he was doing that she would help cover it up. But they were a political couple. This could be Eric Swalwell's wife. Could be a. I thought you were a good husband and a good dad. This is all completely news to me.
Joe Getty
Right? Right.
Jack Armstrong
Katie, what's. What's this?
Joe Getty
This fellow Klubeck's first name? Do we have that? I for it flitted right out of my mind. He's the billionaire, sometimes roommate of Swalwell, who spent at least a million dollars
Jack Armstrong
on his campaign and wants it back.
Joe Getty
He's the. Yes, Katie.
Advertiser/Announcer
Stephen.
Joe Getty
Stephen Klubeck. He's a timeshare magnate, late middle age, wears tight jeans, is in the middle of this porn girl who he was going to marry while she's getting prosecuted for ripping off a bunch of other old naive R guys. And she used to be married to a porn star. They appear to have separated so she could pull the scam off. Anyway, so he's in the center of both of these things at once.
Jack Armstrong
I Feel like the tight jeans came in out of nowhere.
Joe Getty
I. I paint pictures, Jack.
Jack Armstrong
It's a needed detail. They're tired.
Joe Getty
Yeah, For a man of his days. Please.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, like he's little Stephen from last night at Springsteen.
Joe Getty
Like those kind of tight jeans. It's. It's definitely his look. Anyway, the fabulous Matt Seedorf of Fox 11 in LA stopped by to talk to Mr. Klubeck. And oh, my golly, what a character. Michael, let's start with 62 and work from there.
Jack Armstrong
We just wrapped up a one on one interview with Stephen Klubeck. At one point, he was running for governor of California, but he dropped out to endorse Eric Swalwell, a decision he clearly regrets. You suspect this at all? No. I was blown away. A political explosion blown away. Billionaire Stephen Klubeck, once a major donor and supporter of Eric Swalwell, now publicly turning on him with rage.
Joe Getty
Bad.
Jack Armstrong
Amid sexual assault allegations.
Joe Getty
I am no longer a Democrat. I'm now a libertarian Republican because that's what a blue dog Democrat used to be.
Jack Armstrong
No, that's true. That is true. You didn't mention he was a cartoon character.
Joe Getty
Well, no, no. He was able to hit that note because of how tight his pants are.
Jack Armstrong
I was blown away. His jeans are so tight. I was blown away. My testicles are bright blue.
Joe Getty
Just.
Jack Armstrong
I are blown away.
Joe Getty
We're just getting started. Okay, Go ahead, Michael. A lot has been said about me
Jack Armstrong
today through anonymous allegations. Swalwell posting this video Friday from Klubeck's Beverly Hills mansion, pushing back these allegations
Joe Getty
of sexual assault are flat false.
Jack Armstrong
But since then, the fallout has only intensified. The Democratic front runner for California governor dropping out of the race, resigning from Congress and being kicked out of Klubeck's home.
Joe Getty
And I said, pal, you busted the trust. I'm disappointed and disgusted. Get the out of here.
Caller/Guest
Wow.
Joe Getty
All right, all right. We're gonna play you one more clip.
Jack Armstrong
Busted the trust. And you must. You don't Hanson in my life.
Joe Getty
All right, hey, hang on now, Hanson. I want the T shirts in the Armstrong and Getty store by the end of the day today. You'll know what this T shirt's gonna say in exactly 24 seconds.
Jack Armstrong
Michael, how's your relationship with Eric? Are you guys still friends?
Joe Getty
Ericu.
Jack Armstrong
Is that clear? Don't bust the trust. You bust the trust. Okay? You don't exist in my life. You don't bust the trust. You don't bust the trust.
Joe Getty
Don't bust the trust. Armstrong and get it
Jack Armstrong
how old this tight jean billionaire.
Joe Getty
I'm sure There's a news account with his. I would guess 65ish, something like that.
Jack Armstrong
He sounds older. He is 64. Wow. He sounds older.
Advertiser/Announcer
That makes the pants even worse.
Jack Armstrong
No, I was blown away.
Joe Getty
And more colorful.
Jack Armstrong
I was blown away.
Joe Getty
So you don't bust the trash. Oh, that's Eric.
Caller/Guest
Who?
Joe Getty
So I make myself clear. You bust a trust, you don't exist in my world.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know if Republicans do this too, but it's a. The three I can think of are all Democrats, but maybe lots of politicians do. You find a crazy rich person. Not crazy rich, but crazy and rich.
Joe Getty
Like crazy and crazy rich and rich person.
Jack Armstrong
To, like, be your. You know, the person that's going to finance your stuff. Because you got Swalwell and this dude. Remember when he had John Edwards and that old lady that he was living off of and everything like that? And there's another. Oh, and Hunter, that crazy art guy, the Hollywood producer dude. You find somebody who's, like, nuts, but you befriend them and. And. And care about their things that they care about, and they finance them, feel
Joe Getty
like they're connected to power, too.
Jack Armstrong
They finance your whole career.
Joe Getty
If, God willing, he were still with us today. And we're gonna do 64 again. Michael, would this guy not be portrayed by Robert Duvall?
Jack Armstrong
Go ahead. What's your relationship with Eric? Are you guys still friends?
Guest/Interviewee
E
Jack Armstrong
Clear. Don't bust the trust. You bust the trust. Okay. You don't exist in my life.
Joe Getty
Is it more De Niro the trust?
Jack Armstrong
So what? Which trust is he talking about that got busted because he's got a weird. You said this thing with a porn woman or whatever, so it doesn't sound like he's. It's not like he's married 50 years with three adult kids or something like that as a life.
Joe Getty
No. That's an interesting question. He just feels like Swalwell lied to him and misled him about something fundamental.
Jack Armstrong
Well, that's what I was wondering. It might not be about the sexual stuff at all. It might just be Swalwell looked him in the face and lied to him about a variety of things.
Joe Getty
I suspect so. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And that's. That's the end of that.
Joe Getty
Well, in short, because you must have trusted one thing you don't do is you don't bust the trust.
Jack Armstrong
Don't bust the trust. I didn't know that. Blown away Rolled away. Oh, my goodness.
Joe Getty
All right, that's probably enough of that.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. And Swalwell, it's. Again, I don't know if he's going to be charged and found guilty of anything. Not. Not from the stories I've heard so far. It's just way too much he said, she said, and drunken people. But he's obviously out of Congress and not going to be governor of California. He had a decent shot of being governor of California.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Which just shows you how diseased California is. But. Yeah. And, you know, the. The Fang Fang Bang bang showed us who he was. Lot of people didn't believe it. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Jack Armstrong
It's definitely a very unusual case. The caller alleged that there was a dentist practicing and showing signs of intoxication. They found Kelly Buck, who did exhibit signs of intoxication, failed the field sobriety test. She was ultimately arrested for performing surgery while intoxicated and taken to the Grayson County Jail.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
So somebody calls the police and says, I think my dentist is drunk in the middle of the day. I assume because that's when dental procedures usually happen. The police come and do a field sobriety test on the dentist and say, yep, this dentist is drunk.
Joe Getty
What's a field sobriety test for dentists. All right. Fill this cavity. Oh, hey.
Caller/Guest
Hey.
Joe Getty
You went outside the lines. Well.
Jack Armstrong
Right. What's the legal limit for. People always use the legal limit for driving for everything with alcohol.
Joe Getty
Right. Like there's some sort of government limitation for how drunk you can get.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
There's not. Thank God. I thought this was America.
Jack Armstrong
Well, there's all kinds of things you can perform at an adequate level. Buzzed beyond what we allow for driving.
Joe Getty
Sure.
Jack Armstrong
Easily.
Joe Getty
That's an entirely different question.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
You are not so stupid.
Jack Armstrong
You are not out of control sitting on your own couch, blowing a 1.0 watching a football game. There's nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean your kids are in danger or your neighbors or anything like that. But it's portrayed that way.
Joe Getty
Twice the legal limit, Right?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Of four. What idiots.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Our media is so bad. So dope.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know how. I don't know how drunk I want my dentist to be with their sharp tools. The gouger, the poker, etc. What do you know about this, Katie the Grinder?
Advertiser/Announcer
I don't know anything about it other than I don't want my dentist drunk at all.
Joe Getty
Right. Yeah. Like my airline pilot. The low threshold.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Advertiser/Announcer
Just not even a.
Joe Getty
Don't even sniff very low.
Jack Armstrong
What if it steadies their hands? Maybe they're the sort of person that, you know, quick, drink a Bracer and calms me down. Now I can do a good job and concentrate.
Joe Getty
I famously got better at the road test after a couple of drinks. Now it degenerated quickly after that many years ago. Yeah, I hear you, Jack. I'm guessing case by case, I mean,
Jack Armstrong
I'm guessing since a number of patients had complained and call actually called the police that it was more of a hold still. More like that.
Joe Getty
It's not like they have random roadblock checkpoints for dentists. Somebody said something clearly right around.
Jack Armstrong
I'm not. I'm perfectly still. You move around. Wow.
Joe Getty
Next hour when ambulances attack. Stay with us for that. Oh, oh, oh, that's right. There was something else I really wanted to get into to and it flitted
Jack Armstrong
out of my mind.
Joe Getty
What's the matter with me? Too drunk? Watching football games or something? I'll come up with it.
Jack Armstrong
I got another dentist story for Katie because she may not have heard this one. This happened in Woodland, California. Maybe you did report it when you were doing San Francisco radio. It was very popular around here. The dentist would convince people it was a dude. He would convince women that they had tmj. Their jaws hurt. Hurt. And that his cure for it was to massage their breasts. And he did this for years. He did this for years where he would just rub on women's boobs claiming he was carrying their DMGs.
Advertiser/Announcer
There's two problems here. One, he's a creep. Two, the women that fell for that.
Jack Armstrong
No, come on. That's what we said at the time.
Joe Getty
Like you'd think is the owner of a couple of breasts. You would have heard about that, you know, at some point in your life that that was legit. Yeah. Because it's pretty notable that in a professional setting somebody gets to grab onto both of them. Right. You'd think word would get around that, hey, you know, if you get tmg, the tmj, the way they relieve it isn't. And women would think, geez, really? Yeah.
Advertiser/Announcer
That would have been on the radar.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah, yeah. And plenty of women would have thought, well, I'm only going to do that with a female dentist or whatever, not just some guy. Excuse me.
Joe Getty
Trust me, if they, if they had to kick in the balls to cure, like, I don't know, an overbite.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, word would get around. Excuse me, doc, can I chat GPT this real quick? It's just finding out, having trouble still, how these two things come together.
Advertiser/Announcer
I just couldn't even imagine if a dentist said that to me, going, oh, okay, yeah, sure.
Jack Armstrong
I remember talking about this a lot at the time. And it's, it's an interesting insight into a chunk of society that will just go along with things. Out of fear of conflict or something, I guess.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Fear of conflict, fear of challenging authority. Just being so shocked. I mean, I give some leeway for. Wait a minute, what? And people are just shocked into inaction. I tend to be shocked into action. But I think that might just be genetic or something. I don't know. I mean, a person like you, Katie, can't even imagine thinking, well, he's the dentist. I suppose I'll let him grope me. Yeah, that.
Advertiser/Announcer
Not a chance.
Joe Getty
Nephi says I have to drop my pants. I'll just submit to that as well. Right.
Jack Armstrong
That solves an overbite. And that wraps up our Friday segment, Rogue Dentists. We'll see you next Friday.

Jack Armstrong
What do we need?
Joe Getty
When do we need them?
Jack Armstrong
I got a question. Is it Pet Smart?
Joe Getty
Okay, so this is a live performance of a wacky influencer metal song. And then do we have the recorded one where you can actually hear what's going on 12? Yeah, let's hear it.
Jack Armstrong
I got a question.
Joe Getty
Is it Peter Smart or Pets Marks?
Jack Armstrong
Are you saying that pets are smart or are you saying you're a mark for pets? I like this. What does he say?
Joe Getty
Be both.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's too good. I'll play that for my kids today. What's the name of the band?
Joe Getty
It's Ben Lapidus, who's. Or Lapidus who's a. An influencer. That's hilarious. And. And it's caught on so much. It's like doing it live and the crowd is channel long. Yeah, yeah, that.
Advertiser/Announcer
That first clip, he's got like a couple hundred people surrounding him, and they all have signs that say, which one is it?
Joe Getty
They're screaming in front of a Pet Smart.
Jack Armstrong
Can't be both.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy.
Jack Armstrong
Pet Smart. I say it like it's your pet is smart, but I don't know why I'd say it that way.
Advertiser/Announcer
So my argument is, if you look at the building, Pet is in red, Smart is in blue. So I'm assuming it's Pet Smart.
Jack Armstrong
You win. You win.
Advertiser/Announcer
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Interestingly enough, a couple of stories about how rich people are spending their money. I was. I became aware of a phenomenon. I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was an article Maybe in the Journal, New York Times. Doesn't matter about how, like, people can get designer clothes or fast fashions or whatever and look really fashionable. And so you can't tell if somebody's rich by they've got a really attractive watch, they've got designer stuff on, whatever. And so actual rich people are going to greater lengths to demonstrate that they're rich. So everybody knows they're rich. Which you have to do, I guess, if you're a certain personality type. Anyway, here are a couple of things they're spending their money on these days. According to New York Times, this would
Jack Armstrong
be like the $400,000 mattress I laid on.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And then you'd of course tell people. You know how often my mattress comes up in conversation. Never and never will. But yes, you've got to tell people so they know. A thousand dollar dog grooming session. The pet wellness industry is booming. Being a responsible pet owner can mean more than keeping your pet healthy and happy. Regular grooming visits are often part of the deal. Sam Chow, who lives in Manhattan with four Norwich terriers, he calls his kids. Oh, I already hate you. You and I can't ever be friends. He spends nearly $11,000 a year to groom them and about another 3,000 on specialty work like sanitary trims. I don't have the slightest idea what that is.
Jack Armstrong
I saw a bumper sticker the other day. I'm trying to remember it was the, what the term was, but it was basically, I'm my kids pets grandma was. But there was a term for it. So you, like, you have adult kids, cats or dogs, and you're the grandparent of your adult kids pets. That's a weird way to look at it.
Joe Getty
Well, you see, Mr. Chow's dogs require a grooming technique called hand stripping. Do you know the term, Katie? No, I did.
Jack Armstrong
I. My.
Advertiser/Announcer
Someone got my mom a gift that said, from a grandma of a dog to a grandma of a human.
Joe Getty
Wow, that's a, that's a real thing.
Jack Armstrong
Grandma of a dog. Okay.
Joe Getty
So anyway, this fellow's dogs require a grooming technique called hand stripping. And there aren't many groomers in the city, New York City, who can do it. He said Mr. Chow considers their grooming a worthy expense that's essential to keep them healthy and ensuring a long life. So $1,000 a throw for pet grooming. When the New York Times Talked to nearly 50 pet owners for this article, we learned many of them had similar sentiments. The perception that pet grooming is essential to wellness has shifted the industry from one providing Hygiene services to a tailored approach on focused health and holistic care. A booming human wellness industry is also extending people's own health beliefs and practices to their pets.
Jack Armstrong
But you know how many, like, farm dogs I've known that live to a ripe old age, eaten Walmart dog food and like. And none of this stuff. Drinking water out of a hose and,
Joe Getty
you know, four little dogs wearing diapers? The hell. Anyway. And then this. I find a great deal more defensible. Maybe it's just my own prejudices, but It's a piece in the Wall Street Journal about how big budget fish tanks are taking over America's most expensive homes. Wealthy homeowners are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes millions, to install and maintain luxury aquariums.
Jack Armstrong
That's funny. That's one of the few. I had this conversation with my son. Where were we? Someplace where they had a giant fish tank. I think it was a really, really fancy restaurant. I said, that's one of the few things that if I was ultra wealthy, that I would do like.
Joe Getty
Yeah, me too.
Jack Armstrong
I would change very little about my life if I all of a sudden won the lottery. But I wouldn't mind having a whole wall fish tank in my bedroom. I think that'd be so relaxing.
Joe Getty
In your bedroom?
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
I would like the whole wall that. That to be the. The colorful fish just swimming around slowly.
Joe Getty
But not like your living room, family room, the general areas of the house. You wasn't in your bedroom?
Jack Armstrong
Well, I never have anybody at my house, so. Nobody. What does it do out there?
Joe Getty
Yeah, well, you're out there sometimes, right? I mean, I'm just. I'm curious. I'm not saying there's a right way and wrong way. Giant fish.
Jack Armstrong
I just think it'd be so relaxing. Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yeah. As you're trying to drift off.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. In the dark with fish swimming around. Can I light it? Oh, that'd be great.
Joe Getty
What?
Jack Armstrong
Kate, I must fall asleep thinking about it.
Advertiser/Announcer
No, I want several. And I also want the people to come over and take care of them because they are pain in the ass.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that's what I'm. I've barely tried the fish tank thing with my kids. My parents wouldn't because they said it was too much work. They were right. And I tried it with my kids. It is an insane amount of work.
Joe Getty
Yeah. If you like dead fish, do it yourself
Advertiser/Announcer
real quick here.
Joe Getty
This was before Katie got. How old was Erica the goldfish?
Advertiser/Announcer
Joe.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's right.
Joe Getty
Oh, it was like 11 or 12 years. The world's longest lived birthday Party goldfish. Erica, the goldfish. Was it a. Was it actually.
Advertiser/Announcer
Or did you do what my mom did and it died like 15 times
Joe Getty
and she just bought them? No, I would have been more than willing to do that, but no, this freaking fish would not die.
Jack Armstrong
Wow, that's impressive.
Joe Getty
Anyway, so here's the.
Jack Armstrong
Obviously you were attached.
Joe Getty
It's a fish. Although I did, I did have a bit of odd fondness for it. It was the world's loudest goldfish as well. When it was hungry, it would smack its lips and you could hear it across the room.
Jack Armstrong
And you'd say, oh, are we hungry, Erica? And you'd go over and sprinkle a little food in there.
Joe Getty
It's a good little goldfish. Yes. No, Michael, I'm not telling the story of the weirdo woman who insisted on feeding Erica. And then when she passed, she is
Jack Armstrong
now, and you finally flushed her down the toilet. Have one tear coming down your cheek.
Joe Getty
Oh, no. We had a large marble monument we had engraved for us out in the backyard.
Jack Armstrong
That's right. You do that. I've done that myself.
Joe Getty
So here's this bloke. He's got a lot of money, apparently, but he bonded with his dad over their shared love of tropical fish. And he has fond memories of feeding the fish and even cleaning the small Lucite tank. Anybody who's got fond memories of cleaning a fish tank is a weirdo. But anyway, this guy's got a home in Delray Beach, Florida. 2200 gallon custom aquarium that is home to nine different species of fish and cost a quarter of a million dollars.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Let's see. Here's one in Malibu. How big is that one? It's, it's kind of tough. I, I can't picture like this big one in Malibu. I'm looking at, I, I, what is that, 50 gallons? 40 to 170. I don't know. I don't know. But here's a guy who does infinity aquarium design in la. Nick Tiemans shout out Nick.
Jack Armstrong
Nick.
Joe Getty
His aquarium started about 75 grand and can cost as much as a million dollars.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
Art budgets. You would have bought like expensive, high dollar art. Now are aquarium budgets among the wealthy?
Jack Armstrong
Okay, so it's a hot thing.
Joe Getty
Hey, you got just craploads of money. Yeah, I get it, I get it. There's nothing more beautiful and amazing than tropical fish, right?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's some restaurant where they had a giant wall that was a fish tank. And I thought, that is cool. I would love that in my house
Joe Getty
of Course, if you're spending a thousand dollars a month on pet grooming and call them your kids, you're an idiot. But if you have a million dollar fish tank, you have my vote.
Jack Armstrong
Okay. Yes, Katie.
Advertiser/Announcer
He just reminded me of the curb your enthusiasm episode where Larry David is convinced that the goldfish is stuck to the filter in the Chinese food restaurant.
Jack Armstrong
I have not seen that, but it's on. It's so good. We'll seek that out today. He's concerned.
Joe Getty
I assume he's concerned for the welfare of the fish.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Advertiser/Announcer
And he's just, he is going balls to the wall arguing with the waiter
Jack Armstrong
like, no, that fish is stuck.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy.
Jack Armstrong
That reminds me, before we take a break, I just happened to be watching this the other day. Larry David was talking about the early days of Seinfeld when they were writing the show. And you remember the famous Chinese food restaurant where the whole episode is them waiting for a table at Chinese restaurant. They're just waiting. NBC said no to that and said, we're not gonna air a show where. And Larry David said, then I guess I'm just not the right guy for this. He didn't care. He said the show hadn't taken off yet and it wasn't making that much money. And he's like, I'm, I'm the wrong guy for this project because I think that's really good. And he left. And Jerry was just sitting there and he just left. And then NBC called him and said, yeah, we'll run it. That's it. Once again proving that the people in charge of entertainment have no idea what's entertaining and what's not and should not be in charge. But they think they do know what's entertaining, what's not.
Joe Getty
And in fact, when in doubt, go with the opposite of what they think. You'll be right more than you'll be wrong.
Jack Armstrong
No kidding.
Joe Getty
Armstrong and Getty.

Joe Getty
The Armstrong and Getty show. It's a gender bending madness update.
Jack Armstrong
So I kept hearing about this thing called.
Joe Getty
De loco. We're in a brave new world. First of all, just a brief mention that as I said earlier today, the forces of neo Marxism postmodernism haven't paused a bit. They're forging ahead. They're trying to grow all this stuff. They're just hiding it better. Here's the University of Southern California has new initiative they're using Men will be barred from using parts of an on campus gym to make women and non binary gym goers feel more comfortable while working out. The Student assembly for Gender Empowerment pushed for the new rules in partnership with the Lion Center, a recreational facility controlled by the university.
Jack Armstrong
So you ban one of the two sexes from being in the gym to help the third through 50th versions of genders.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. You got a combination of real women and fake women saying I'm not comfortable working out among men. So okay, all right, super. Great. And then you've got this human, a woman I believe, who is presenting as a man. Lish Kozlowski is a Minnesota state representative arguing against a bill in Minnesota that would bar boys from competing in girls sports. If you've been in a coma or were in a cave or perhaps an Apollo mission and just getting back to Earth, yes, some states let boys play in girls sports if they claim they're girls. Here is the representative talking about how
Advertiser/Announcer
gender binary was brought to these lands. Gender binary is a colonial export and not an immutable global truth. We do exist and have existed since time immemorial. Simple facts.
Jack Armstrong
It's a simple colonial thing. Okay, wow.
Joe Getty
Settler colonialism. It's a. The gender binary is part of that. That's actually how the whole neo Marxist thing works is it's. You just claim each one is the other one and it's all a web of horrors. And you've got to be against all of of it. The eternal Omnic cause. I wish you luck with your imagined view of the universe. So on a less humorous note, this is a young man by the name of Johnny Skinner and we will let you tell his story. He was actually testifying in front of the California legislature, interestingly enough, trying to bring some sanity to blue state activism. Trying to twist troubled kids minds and convince them that your problem isn't that you're autistic. Or you're sexually assaulted, or you're just a misfit, you're alienated, whatever. Maybe you have some mental illness problems. That's not your problem. The problem is you're the wrong sex. And we're going to help you here at school. We have somebody you'd like to talk, we'd like you to talk to. And let's not tell your mom and dad about it.
Guest/Interviewee
It.
Joe Getty
So Johnny Skinner is. Is testifying against that or. Yeah, against that. Go ahead, Michael.
Guest/Interviewee
Good afternoon, my name is Johnny Skinner. I'm here representing genspect. When I was young, I was a feminine child and I discovered trans influencers online. They said, change your body and your life gets better. Don't and it gets worse. Or as my doctors told my mom I would commit suicide. The medical and mental health providers didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did. They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my puberty and messing with my development. The result, I'm a 23 year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in.
Joe Getty
And he goes on.
Guest/Interviewee
I was rendered an orgasmic because once you say you could be trans, that's it, full stop. No exploration as to why is allowed. Even if you are a struggling kid. The former president of WPATH, Dr. Marcy Bowers, the California surgeon who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at 17, admitted on video that puberty blockers followed by cross sex hormones results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. SB934 guarantees that more people will end up like me. The walking but wounded.
Jack Armstrong
By the way, if you haven't seen this video with Scott Wiener standing there watching this poor guy, talk to him. Dude, explain yourself.
Joe Getty
Sick, perverse Scott Wiener. Yeah. One of the worst people in in government, certainly. Mr. Skinner goes on.
Guest/Interviewee
I could have been spared all of this if any of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric. But they never did. They only led me to hate my body more. The Supreme Court just ruled in a rare way bipartisan decision that laws like this are unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my sexual function, as is the same for many others. So today I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors like me and vote no for this bill. Thank you.
Jack Armstrong
All right, as I've said before, I know a therapist who says she is talking, talked a number of young people out of going down the trans road quite quickly and easily. And she knows therapists who immediately. You're off to the doctor. Yeah. Just, you know, you don't, you don't even question that it could possibly be anything other than trans. And let's start the medical stuff.
Joe Getty
And as we discussed in the wake of the Supreme Court oral arguments the other day in the ruling, the, the activist transgender crowd call even sayings to what, like what your therapist friend would say. Why don't we talk about the other things going on in your life and what's troubling you and maybe hold off on a minute. The transgender thing and just let's talk. They call that conversion therapy and outlaw it. California is trying to keep it outlawed. Even getting to the bottom of it's autism. You're a victim of something. It's a mental illness problem. Whatever. They're trying to outlaw that, it's beyond sick. Why are people moving away from California? Well, housing is expensive. No, it's crap like that. It's unconscionable.
Jack Armstrong
And Gavin runs for president, he's going to have to answer for some of that stuff.
Joe Getty
Well, I would love the conversation to continue before more kids are victimized. It's just, it's horrifying to me.
Guest/Interviewee
Me.
Joe Getty
It's a gender bending madness update and it's sick. Armstrong and Getty.
