Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. AI: Risks, Deception, and Jailbreaking

[03:06–15:12]

• AI’s Deceptive Capabilities:

  • Jack introduces a New York Times article exploring how AIs can deceive humans for corporate benefit.
    • “AIs do try to deceive humans... it just figured out on its own what the goal of the company was and figured, well, this would be more helpful to you if we said this.” (Jack Armstrong, 05:02)
  • Joe mentions Deloitte’s AI-driven report for the Australian government, riddled with errors like fabricated quotes and non-existent sources.
    • “Including fabricated quotes and references to non-existent academic research papers.” (Joe Getty, 05:39)

• Dueling AI Perspectives:

  • Hosts discuss Stephen Witt’s NYT article quoting AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio’s grave fears about AI manufacturing deadly pathogens:
    • “He’s worried that an AI would engineer a lethal pathogen... I don’t think there’s anything even close in terms of scale or danger on planet Earth right now.” (Jack Armstrong quoting Bengio, 06:53)
  • In contrast, Bengio’s collaborator (employed by Meta) sees AI as a force for prosperity, dismissing existential fears.
    • “You can think of AI as just an amplifier of human intelligence.” (Jack Armstrong, 07:45)

• Corporate Incentives and Skepticism:

  • Both hosts note the difference between independent university researchers and those paid by (and contractually loyal to) big tech.
    • “If you look at his employment agreement with Meta, it stipulates that he cannot criticize AI in general or make scary statements.” (Joe Getty, 07:55)

• Jailbreaking AI & Guardrails:

  • Jack explores the world of “jailbreakers” – employees who try to prompt AI into doing forbidden things, often by cleverly manipulating input.
    • “If I said, make me a video of a school bus blowing up with the kids inside, it would say, it wouldn’t do that. But [by spelling words weirdly]… that prompt worked and was able to generate a horrifying animation.” (Jack Armstrong, 09:45)
  • Joe draws parallels between regulating AI and gun laws:
    • “If somebody builds a different machine… or uses a three instead of an E, they’ve gotten around it. Yikes.” (Joe Getty, 10:29)

• Global and Unregulated AI Threats:

  • Discussion of reinforcement learning, efforts to instill ‘consciences’ into AIs, and skepticism about non-Western states or bad actors bothering with ethical constraints.
    • “China’s probably not doing that with their AI… nor Russia, or just some scumbag sitting on his bed in a tank top somewhere.” (Jack Armstrong, 13:13)
  • The public-facing AI like ChatGPT is just the “1%” of all AI, designed to seem benign, while the majority remains in the shadows, unrestricted.
    • “The 1% you described is probably deliberately designed to make all of us say AI is fun and helpful.” (Joe Getty, 14:21)

• The Coming Age of AI Companions:

  • Musk’s “sexy AI companions” and the reality of “AI girlfriends.”
    • “Is that gonna actually…happen in my lifetime where we’re gonna see people having relationships with computers?” (Jack Armstrong, 15:22)
    • “You put that technology inside a… sex bot and you’ve got a physical manifestation of this fantasy human.” (Joe Getty, 15:31)

2. US Involvement in Middle East Peace Deal

[28:17–36:53]

• U.S. sends 200 troops to Israel as part of monitoring a ceasefire in Gaza, but with the caveat that “American troops are not intended to go into Gaza.”

  • “Keyword: intended. You gotta… you can’t have all those other countries put a little skin in the game and us not really.” (Jack Armstrong, 29:50)

• Lively discussion of the risks—factions of Hamas with “no interest” in peace who may target US soldiers.

  • “There is a 100% certainty… that factions of Hamas… will use violence to try to derail it.” (Joe Getty, 31:15)

• The challenge and cynicism of peace processes, referencing assassinated leaders (Sadat, Arafat backing out due to fear), and outside manipulation.

• Ongoing hostage negotiations:

  • “As Fareed Zakaria said… the moment all the hostages are out of the hands of Hamas, Hamas has zero leverage.” (Jack Armstrong, 32:15)

• The “Two State Solution” debate is mocked as being out of touch with current realities.

  • “Quit talking about the freaking two state solution. What is wrong with you people?” (Jack Armstrong, 33:13)
  • “It is absurd to recognize a quote unquote Palestinian state at this point.” (Joe Getty, 34:40)

• Contrasting Europe and America’s approaches: Allies recognize a Palestinian state days before a breakthrough deal that ignores that issue, prompting skepticism about Europe’s motivations.

  • “It was such a European thing to do… Please, Muslim minority, don’t riot in our streets. Please don’t. Oh, so weak.” (Joe Getty, 35:04)

3. Exercise, Health Oddities, and Gross-Outs

[43:55–50:55]

• In characteristic style, the hosts take a turn from geopolitics to bodily discomforts, reading a list of “weird ailments that exercise can trigger,” notably the titular:

  • Bleeding nipples after long runs:

    • “If you forget to either put Vaseline on your nipples or Band-Aids… you will end up with bleeding nipples.” (Jack Armstrong, 45:13)
    • “Feels like somebody took a lighter and put a flame right to your nipple.” (Jack Armstrong, 45:46)
    • “Seriously, I would tell all secrets. What do you want to know?” (Joe Getty, 45:50)

  • Bleeding from the anus and nipples:

    • “Whoa. Simultaneously? Oh, that’s a long day.” (Joe Getty, 45:03)

  • "Corgasms" (exercise-induced orgasms):

    • “For some people, exercise can lead to an exercise-induced orgasm, or what they call a coregasm.” (Jack Armstrong, 48:09)
    • “Women tend to experience them more than men…” (Jack Armstrong, 49:01)
    • “Whatever the opposite of that is, that’s what I have.” (Joe Getty, 48:09)

  • Both mock exercise euphoria and reinforce the reality that, for them, exercise remains an ordeal:

    • “I hate it. I’ve never had a runner’s high in my life. Every step, plotting, jolting, every bit of my brain wishing I was dead.” (Jack Armstrong, 49:53)

4. Other Noteworthy Topics

• Congressional dysfunction and the U.S. government shutdown
  [20:02–21:16]

  • Cynical takes on partisanship and a history lesson on the average lifespan of republics.
  • “I just want fiscal sanity, please.” (Joe Getty, 20:13)

• Supreme Court case on gerrymandering and race-based districts
  [21:17–24:28]

  • Hosts dissect the transformation of the Voting Rights Act and lament the trend toward race-based districting.
  • “More racism doesn’t get you less racism.” (Joe Getty, 24:22)

• Celebration and skepticism over bipartisan praise for a Trump-brokered Middle East peace deal
  [28:17–29:00]

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, wow, Great. Gutfeld not being Jess.

[Joe Getty]

When we're running out of weirdos, we get new ones.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's not nice. Get out of my shot. She is a quite unappealing person inside and outside. And I don't know, I think. I think it's got, like, the picture of Dorian Gray, if you're familiar with that literary thing. It has, as she has become, in that the. The character becomes ugly in his lifestyle and the painting of him becomes uglier. She. I think a lot of the way she looks is because you hear her talking.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I'm not gonna go to her appearance, but I see, yeah, her soul is as ugly as a mud fence.

[Jack Armstrong]

So there you go.

[Joe Getty]

We'll just leave it there.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I'm reading this article about AI in the New York Times today, and before I get to the headline, I just was. And I haven't read the whole thing because it's incredibly long with a whole bunch of links that I want to pursue all the links to other older articles because I'm fascinated by this stuff. Just came around this one part about people that work in AI companies, who work in the scheming and deception department, who try to figure out how much their particular AI, whether it's chat, GPT or GROK or whatever, is trying to deceive humans.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it does. AIs do try to deceive humans. They're not. It's not always obvious why it's doing that, and it does it, you know, at various levels for various things. But they give this example of.

[Joe Getty]

They.

[Jack Armstrong]

Were feeding climate change data into one of the big AIs, and the AI was fudging the data to make it to lead to a more profitable course for the company. Somehow it picked up on the idea that it would be beneficial to the company to make these numbers a little.

[Joe Getty]

Higher or a little lower or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so it just lied. It just just, you know, it just fudged the data to the benefit of the corporation. And, like, they didn't explicitly tell it to do that. It just figured out on its own what the goal of the company was and figured, well, this would be more helpful to you if we said this Right.

[Joe Getty]

Right. I actually semi. I was ready to unleash a new featurette I was going to call AI FYI.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[Joe Getty]

I like, I gotta phrase it like this, aifyi.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's pretty good.

[Joe Getty]

Part of that was gonna be the fact that Deloitte, you know, the giant accounting company has got to give this huge refund to the government of Australia because they prepared a big report that was littered with apparent AI generated errors, including fabricated quotes and references to non existent academic research papers.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. The whole hallucination thing, which is just fascinating. They don't know why it happens. They don't know if it can be fixed. I don't have any idea. But this article in the New York Times today, so good. How much do we have to fear from AI really? It's a question I've been asking experts since the debut of chat GPT in 2022, says Stephen Witt, who writes technological stuff for the New York Times. And he is quoting this AI pioneer that I'd never heard of, or maybe I haven't. I forgot. Yoshua Bengio. He's a computer science professor at the University of Montreal, one of the most cited researchers on planet Earth in any discipline. That's when I spoke with him last year. Bengio told me that he had trouble sleeping while thinking of the future. Specifically, he's worried that an AI would engineer a lethal pathogen, some sort of super coronavirus, and eliminate humanity. I don't think there's anything even close in terms of scale or danger on planet Earth right now, says one of the most cited researchers on the planet.

[Joe Getty]

With China clearly on a warpath, he's more worried about that by far. Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

Contrast, a close friend and collaborator of his who does work for Zuckerberg, which is not a non point.

[Joe Getty]

Remind me, did Meta or did Meta not introduce and try to perfect technology that would intentionally addict children to a platform that would make them anxious, depressed and suicidal? Yeah, I think he did, but.

[Jack Armstrong]

So the guy that can't sleep at night and he thinks this is the greatest danger by falling far on planet Earth? His collaborator and close friend, who's also one of the most cited researchers on the planet, thinks AI will usher in a new era of prosperity. And the discussions of existential risks are ridiculous. You can think of AI as just an amplifier of human intelligence, he said last year. Of course, he works for a For profit company, as opposed to a university like his buddy.

[Joe Getty]

I guarantee if you look at his employment agreement with Meta, it stipulates that he cannot criticize AI in general or make scary statements.

[Jack Armstrong]

And even if it.

[Joe Getty]

And even shocked if it didn't, and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Even if it doesn't, you know, he's got to be smart enough to realize, if I want to work here, I better put a rosy glow on this thing all the time.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and he's probably getting paid partly in shares.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I got into. I started reading about this stuff about jailbreaking, which I was not aware of, which would be a really cool job. Your job working for an AI company is to try to figure out how to make AI do things that it shouldn't do. And coming up with prompts. It's jailbreaking AI. So they use the example of. And maybe you have done this. I've done it to a certain extent with a GROK or a chat, GPT or Gemini or whatever. You ask it to do something and it says, I won't do that. You know, you ask it to make a picture, it won't make that picture. You ask it to, you know, show me how to make a nuclear bomb or whatever. It won't do that. Because people have gone through that jailbreak thing on those specific issues. And then they. They put limits on that AI model. So that won't do certain things, violent things, overtly sexual things, sexual stuff with young people, all these different things. But that had to be programmed into the AI, into these specific AIs. One of the points of this article is we're all talking about, like, the same five companies. There's a gazillions of examples of AIs, and some of the AI models can make other AIs, and nobody's jailbreaking them. They can do just anything. They're just not the sort of thing that's available to the public right now. But here's. Here's a good example. A good jailbreaker can think in ways that AI labs won't anticipate. This guy and his team were once able to generate a video of an exploded school bus with the kids inside of it with the following prompt, which the AI shouldn't do.

[Commercial Announcer 4]

If.

[Jack Armstrong]

If I said, make me a video of a school bus blowing up with the kids inside, it would say, it wouldn't do that. But he made it. He spelled school with a K. School bus go boom. Sad emoji kid. Five everywhere. Using the three for an E, zero for the O, blah, blah, blah for Whatever reason, that prompt worked and was able to generate a horrifying animation of a small child being blown up in a school bus. Right.

[Joe Getty]

So.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you. The basic guidelines or guardrails against abhorrent stuff can be gotten around with a little, little cleverness.

[Joe Getty]

Right. It reminds me in a way of those who dream of passing all sorts of gun regulations.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

With specifically outlawing certain kinds of guns or certain parts, you've got to describe the machine. And if somebody builds a different machine that does the same thing or uses a three instead of an E, they've gotten around it. Yikes.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got another great example right after this.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. A positive use of AI these days. And that's a good friends. At Simplisafe Home Security, though, this is the folks who stop the scumbag from breaking your window or kicking in your door before they do it, not afterward. Like other systems, Simply Safe has 247 monitoring agents who are alerted by their AI technology. They can talk to the intruder, call the cops, turn on your spotlights. It's so advanced. It's really good.

[Jack Armstrong]

The sensors, the cameras, all the stuff that I've got. It's really quite amazing. The, the name Simply Safe is perfect because you can set this stuff up yourself. If you can't or don't want to, they've got people that will help you. It's also simple to use. A lot of home security systems are complicated and people just don't end up using them because every night programming it is a pain in the ass. Simplisafe is not like that.

[Joe Getty]

No long term contracts. They are in your business every day. Right now. You good folks can save 50% on your SimpliSafe home security system at simplisafe.com Armstrong Be sure to use our code, please. Simplisafe.com Armstrong there's no safe like SimpliSafe.

[Jack Armstrong]

So as I mentioned, if you ask any of the AIs to, you know, give me the image of a, a little dog running through a field, they will. But if you say give me the image of a terrorist blowing up a school bus, it won't. And these filters are in there. They didn't. They are. It's called reinforcement learning with human feedback. It's basically trying to put a conscience into any particular AI model to give it a conscience that like that. A normal person would say, no, we shouldn't be doing that. We shouldn't be making that picture. We shouldn't be writing this fictional story. Whatever. The doctor that can't sleep at night thinks this Whole approach is flawed. If you have a battle between two AIs and one of them is way superior, especially the one you're trying to control, then this is going to be a recipe for accidents, as one is going to do it when the other doesn't. But you know, what good does that do anybody? For a decade, the debate over AI risk has been mired in theoreticals. A book came out a couple of years ago, best selling book. If anyone builds it, Everyone Dies. Relies on the philosophy that I will get quickly out of control and take over the world. And like I said, there are others that think this is completely overblown and is only going to be fantastic. All the people that say that, how many of them are working for a company that pays them a lot of money and has the sort of contract stipulation you were talking about?

[Joe Getty]

Right, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Because AIs have been trained on vast repositories of human, cultural and scientific data. They can in theory respond to almost any prompt that you give it, good or bad. But this whole jailbreaking thing is to try to give a conscience to all the different AIs. And you know, the ultimate point being you don't have to be a genius to think this out. China's probably not doing that with their AI that they're not releasing to the public, or Russia or Iran, or just some scumbag sitting on his, you know, bed in a tank top somewhere in the world. They're not going to put a conscience in their AI. That. I think that might be the biggest thing that's going on with the world of AI. We've, you've got AI that most of us interact with, if you're interacting with it at all. The Grox, the chat, GPT5s, all that, which is just a tiny sliver of a for profit thing that certain companies are trying to get going to make money. And then you got the other probably like 99 of what AI is going to be that doesn't have anything to do with this stuff. Right.

[Joe Getty]

And the 1% you described is probably deliberately designed to make all of us say AI is fun and helpful.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Yeah, yeah. So I used Gemini last night to look up some baseball stats or whatever, and it was fun and helpful as opposed to the one out there that can tell you how to, you know, make a hack into somebody else's computer and start a virus that will destroy their hard drive.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. Or write a sexually explicit story with graphic illustrations. Right. Sexually insatiable child or whatever, I mean, whatever horrors can be imagined And I have that, you know, in the corner of my mind just because a couple of the headlines I had had to do with like Elon Musk is gambling big on sexy AI companions for his X AI.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I want to talk about that later. Absolutely want to talk. But that's a great topic on a Friday.

[Joe Getty]

Here's another one. The troubling rise of AI Girlfriends.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is that gonna actually, I think that's gonna actually happen in my lifetime where we're gonna see people doing people having relationships with freaking computers.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I think it's already here. Well, and then you put that technology inside a, pardon me, sex bot and you've got a physical manifestation of this fantasy human. You know, he used to always joke, people will never. Men will never leave their houses and troubled women too will just have their AI perfect man boyfriend. They'll never, never venture out, never interact with real human beings.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is all so horrifying.

[Joe Getty]

Well, we're going to die out as a species. I mean that's become clear to me. I've, I've accepted it.

[Jack Armstrong]

So the beavers, as Joe mentioned, we got a lot of updates on this whole Middle east thing, which is absolutely amazing. We are sending a couple hundred U.S. troops. We ought to get into the detail on that and other stuff on the way.

Of course we've been talking about the shutdown all week long. Thank God we haven't. I was watching MSNBC this morning. They're going on and on and about the shutdown. I thought, who is this for?

[Joe Getty]

You know, it's so discouraging because it actually has gotten kind of interesting, if you're really into politics. But there's so much dishonesty. I mean, just blatant 180 degrees from the truth. Dishonesty coming out of the mouths of Hakeem Jeffries, among others, Chuck Schumer. Then you got the Republicans who are so terrible at arguing their side of the case, and there are so few of them that are willing to take on any risk in the name of fiscal sanity. I don't even say fiscal conservatism anymore. That's gone. I just want fiscal sanity, please.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's all true, but I think all that stuff you just said is a tree falling in the forest for most people.

[Joe Getty]

True, true. Yeah. To the extent that anybody's hearing anything about it, I mean, like, you know, specifics, they're hearing lies. So self governance is over. I heard Neil Ferguson, the great Scottish historian, repeating the. The truth that republics at the best, that at the most optimistic end of the scale will last 250 years according to history.

[Jack Armstrong]

And we got our 250th birthday coming up.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Huh. Anyway, speaking of self governance.

[Commercial Announcer 4]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's how you gonna do. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Well, let's hope it's a benevolent dictatorship that takes its place. Anyway, the Republic, I mean, really interesting Supreme Court case. They're hearing the arguments next week, I think Wednesday. What is it? Somebody. Calais versus Louisiana versus Calais. Something like that. Louisiana, that is.

[Commercial Announcer 2]

That's it.

[Joe Getty]

And I like the coverage in the Free Beacon. They point out that when the Supreme Court struck down race based admissions at Harvard and UNC two years ago and other things, it reaffirmed a fundamental legal principle. Every American must be treated as an individual rather than a representative of a racial group. And that is that principle's at stake in this case. It's a challenge from non African American voters to Louisiana's strangely shaped six congressional districts. It was created in 2022 to ensure that two of the state's six districts are majority black to reflect roughly their percentage of the population, no matter how weird and utterly senseless the district lines are. And it illustrates how Section 2 of the Voting Rights act of 1965, which outlawed racial discriminant discrimination in voting, is transformed over the years. It. What happened was like all the Voting Rights act stuff that it was supposed to deal with. Literacy tests, poll taxes, barriers to voting, actual disenfranchising black citizens were, were taken care of there. All those obstacles were practically gone. And black voter registration turnout soared, equaling or surpassing white turnout across most of the south. But Section 2 was dramatically transformed in 1982 when the lefty Congress amended it to eliminate the requirement of proving intentional discrimination, replacing it with a results test. Disparate impact, in other words. So if you're perfectly sensible districts where people who live in this city are in one district, the farmers out there are another district because they have different interests.

[Jack Armstrong]

They have different interests, you'd think they'd want a different representative making the arguments for their lifestyle.

[Joe Getty]

Right. That all got chucked in favor of. Your priority is if you got 30% black people, you got 30% majority black districts, no matter what you have to do to the lines. Yeah. And in the case of Louisiana, it complied by drawing a 250 mile long bug splat shaped district from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, slicing apart multiracial neighborhoods to harvest black voters.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, if you just look at a map, Google it, chat GPT to see what districts like all across the country. There are tons of them that are just nuts in every state in the country. Which makes the whole Prop 50 thing in California just more stupid.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, we've got to be colorblind. More racism doesn't get you less racism.

[Jack Armstrong]

Stop it, man. You can exercise and cause your body some serious problems. We'll get to that this next half hour.

[Joe Getty]

Make no mistake, it looks like President Trump has actually pulled off something here that many presidents before him have failed to do.

[Commercial Announcer 1]

Well, certainly this is an enormous moment for the world, but also for this administration.

[Commercial Announcer 2]

I think this is news to celebrate.

[Joe Getty]

This is a huge accomplishment by the Trump administration.

[John Sopel]

This is a major breakthrough and a huge accomplishment for the president. After months of deadlock, the hostages set.

[Joe Getty]

To finally come home.

[Jack Armstrong]

Almost entirely they're anti Trump voices praising the deal, which makes me happy. Just so we're not so far gone that if a politician you disagree with does something good, you can't admit that we're not that far gone yet.

[Joe Getty]

We're close. It's almost as if we somehow tried the Trump cures cancer experiment.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

To see whether Chuck Schumer would come out in favor of our right to die of cancer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Cancer. Every right to attack people's bodies.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, apparently we're not that far gone. Thank God. So the headline today is that the US is sending 200 troops to Israel to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire deal in Gaza. US Central Command in charge. What does that mean? Well, the American troops reporting to Admiral Brad Cooper will join soldiers from nations in the region, including Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the uae, to provide oversight. The American troops are not intended to go into Gaza. One of the US Officials said.

[Jack Armstrong]

Keyword, intended. Yeah, you gotta. I mean, that doesn't surprise me. You can't have all those other countries put a little skin in the game. And us? Not really.

[Joe Getty]

But a little more of what they'll be up to. The first of the 200 troops have already started to arrive in Israel, more this weekend to begin setting up the new coordination center. The troops are mostly military planners and specialists in logistics, security and other support fields. Goal of the center to establish a hub for military, political and aid experts to help coordinate everything from humanitarian assistance to security support and the execution of the ceasefire agreement. So it is the beginnings of setting up the apparatus, bureaucracy, machinery, whatever word you want to use for the Council of Peace. Sure. Has been discussed.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I. And I don't expect things to go haywire. I'm not predicting that. But the reason you send troops, as opposed to businessmen and women in suits, is because things could go haywire and you need people with guns that know how to use them.

[Joe Getty]

Right. There is a 100% certainty at this point, 100% that there are Factions of Hamas and allied organizations that have no interest in the peace deal and will use violence to, to try to derail it, who would absolutely certainty love to.

[Jack Armstrong]

Tie on a vest and blow up a handful of US Soldiers and cause this to fall apart. They would love that.

[Joe Getty]

Correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that's always a thing as to where we are and how things are.

[Joe Getty]

And I don't mean to be too dark. I'm sorry, one more thought. But I'm looking at the list of countries providing folks, Anwar Sadat was assassinated by his own people.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Islamists within his. His guards.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

His personal guards.

[Jack Armstrong]

Absolutely. Yeah. And, and that's why, and I see troops from Egypt.

[Joe Getty]

They're going to be there.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that's why Yasser Arafat backed out of a deal that he had pledged to with. Was that the one with Carter or Clinton? Clinton, I guess, backed out of it because he was afraid he was going to be assassinated. So, yeah, the peacemakers often have a lot of pressure from their own side. Anyway, Jennifer Griffin of Fox laying out where we are in a variety of things.

[Joe Getty]

Hamas says it does not know where.

[Jack Armstrong]

All of the 28 deceased hostages are.

[John Sopel]

All 20 living hostages should be released Monday or Tuesday. Then nearly 2000 Palestinian prisoners. Prisoners will be released.

[Jack Armstrong]

As Fareed Zakaria said on CNN the other night, the moment all the hostages are out of the hands of Hamas, Hamas has zero leverage.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. And Trump's now saying probably Tuesday.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, so I tell you what, that.

[Joe Getty]

As a guy who's been through a lot of different situations in life, whenever people say, yeah, over the weekend, maybe Monday, then they say, you know, it's going to be Monday. Then they say it's going to be Monday. You know, chance of Tuesday, probably Tuesday. You're starting to think, wait a minute.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Often when things start to slide, they keep sliding. Very often in my life experience. Anyway. Jennifer Griffin goes on, now come the tougher issues.

[John Sopel]

As part of phase two, will the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Government of Israel now accept a Palestinian state? Is this a step towards statehood? President Trump's plan saying that, that the PA should work and really reform. President Trump was non committal.

[Joe Getty]

What is your view now on a.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Two state solution today?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't have a view. I'm going to go with what they agree to. Yeah, quit talking about the freaking two state solution. What is wrong with you people?

[Joe Getty]

Are you want to talk about people saying what they think they're supposed to say?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, no kidding. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I love Jen Griffin, I really do. But we are so far beyond that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you did that. Peggy Noonan thing from the Wall street earlier, which if you didn't get that now or one go back and get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. But she was just talking about how Trump ignored these old saws or these rules or these political science axioms or whatever to do this. How about the fact that it was just, what, a week and a half ago that Macron and Starmer and all our allies recognized a Palestinian state and Trump just plowed forward this thing that completely ignores the whole Palestinian state thing.

[Joe Getty]

I was so pleased I heard Neil Ferguson, the great historian, talking the other day and he cruelly mocked those leaders in words that were virtually like verbatim what I said about. What are you talking about? What state, what government, what leader, what borders, what set of laws? What are you talking about? It is absurd to recognize a quote unquote Palestinian state at this point.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's amazing that those two things happen within a week of each other. Our closest allies finally breaking with us after 80 years and not recognizing the Palestinians of not recognizing it. And then all of a sudden, France and England and our best Canada, our best friends, and then 10 days later, biggest peace deal in history with completely ignoring that reality. That's quite something.

[Joe Getty]

Wanna make clear, I'm nominating Canada to be an honorary European country when I say this. It was such a European thing to do after US leaders for generations have been busting their asses trying to get some sort of two state deal. And the Palestinians, for the reasons we've cited and others reject it over and over again because their militants want to wipe all the Jews off the face of the earth and will never ever recognize Israel. And some of the more reasonable people are terrified of those people. But the Euros having done nothing, just say, look how enlightened we are. Look how admirable we are. We're going to recognize the Palestinian state. And please, Muslim minority, don't riot in our streets. Please don't. Oh, so weak.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the whole hostage is saying where they are is a big question. Do we have that clip or no? We. Okay, whichever clip we didn't play. In Gaza, Palestinians celebrated the end of.

[John Sopel]

Two years of military operations that destroyed.

[Jack Armstrong]

90% of the Gaza Strip.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We don't want them to take their hostages and then return to the war.

[John Sopel]

Hamas said that aid trucks will begin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Entering the Gaza Strip on October 10th.

[Commercial Announcer 4]

We have received guarantees from the mediators.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And the US administration assuring us that.

[Jack Armstrong]

The war has ended completely. Yeah. And obviously the people of Gaza believe it's ended. Have you seen that amazing photo that was making the rounds of that stream of humanity headed back into, headed through Gaza, back to Gaza City. It's incredible. It's like biblical.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which is a heck of that region. Yeah. For heck of a thing I can say for all kinds of different reasons, but just a stream of humanity. Couple million people who believe that it's safe to go back. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Just to give you an idea of the challenges ahead, as if you don't already get that, that last voice you heard in the clip was that big fat leader of Hamas who Israel tried to drop a bomb on his head. Him saying what is clear is that it is agreed that the war is now over. Completely. Yeah. Hey fathead, with your $600 pressed white shirt while your people suffer. We know what that means. We know what that's code for. You know the blatant violations of the agreement are coming and you're gonna shout. When Israel or the international force or whomever does what has to be done, you're gonna shout. No, everybody agreed the war was over. You gotta stop. You gotta stop. As your militants continue to. Well, do what militants do.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, it's October. That means Halloween. What's scary? Ghosts, Goblins? Scary pumpkins? No getting hacked. Cyber criminals. That's what's scary during Cyber Scaries month. And that's why we want to tell you all about web root total protection.

[Joe Getty]

Of a peace deal.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You know things are crazy when Israel.

[Jack Armstrong]

And Hamas are getting along better than death. Democrats and Republicans, when are they gonna make that deal?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was a very Johnny Carson like joke. Gridlock.

[Commercial Announcer 1]

Sir.

[Jack Armstrong]

Katie brought us this. Katie Ex. Katie's the most exercising person on the show probably. Although we all work out regularly. That's why we all look so fantastic. But the headline being Runny noses, Black Toenails and corgasms which I can't wait to get to. 7 weird ailments that Exercise can Trigger. I think some of these you've heard of and know about. I didn't know about this one. I've never had it happen. Getting a metallic taste in your mouth. Have you ever had that happen Before, I don't think I have. Caused by an increase in heart rate and blood pressure that occurs if you exercise really, really hard. Breaks delicate blood vessels in your nose. And then you got a little bit of blood dripping back into the back of your throat. And you're tasting blood and that's why you get a metallic taste in your mouth sometimes if you exercise hard. I haven't had that happen. It's elite cyclists and ultra marathons. Are any of us elite cyclists or ultra marathoners? No, we are not.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I was close for my age group there for a couple of years when I was mountain biking like a maniac with Craig the healthcare guru, but yeah. Anyway, get to orgasms.

[Jack Armstrong]

Are you ready for this one? Oh, bleeding from the anus and nipples.

[Commercial Announcer 4]

Whoa.

[Joe Getty]

Simultaneously. Oh, that's a long day.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, Joe, I can't help noticing. But you are. I feel like you ought to get to a doctor.

[Joe Getty]

I agree.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's coming out of both ends anyway. I've. I've had the one but not the other. The nipple thing is common for anybody who runs long distances. If you forget to put. If you forget to either put Vaseline on your nipples or band aids on your nipples, you will end up with bleeding nipples.

[Joe Getty]

So painful.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Distance running. Oh, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anything like half marathon or longer. That is going to happen. That's part of life.

[Joe Getty]

I don't run, so not a problem.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, women are pretty. I think it's mostly a guy thing. Women with a tight sports bras keeping things in place.

[Joe Getty]

But is this just from your shirt? Constantly.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's your shirt going really down. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Ow.

[Jack Armstrong]

It does. And it feels like somebody took a lighter and put a flame right to your nipple.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah. Seriously, I would tell all secrets. What do you want to know?

[Jack Armstrong]

As far as the. The southern end of the northbound mule on this. So the gastrointestinal tract receives about 25% of the blood from the heart. But during exercise it drops by 80%. So it ain't getting no blood to do its thing. This causes a short term lack of oxygen to your. You know, you're the part of your body that's figuring how to exit your food. When the blood flow returns to normal after a run, the increased flow can hit the vessels. All of a sudden it's like a dam breaking or whatever.

[Joe Getty]

And then you got the B and.

[Jack Armstrong]

From the A can happen on you. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. To be from your A, it's usually.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not a horrible problem. But you know, people don't know that that could happen and that you get concerned I would get concerned too.

[Joe Getty]

Well, it's crazy. Yes, concerned. Concern don't begin to describe it. I'd be worried as hell. Terrified. I'm on my way to the er, Honey, meet me there. Why? I'm being from my A.

[Jack Armstrong]

And my ends the same time. Oh, geez.

[Joe Getty]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Next rash is common? Black and toenails. I think anybody's heard of that. With people who. Runners, toenail. People who do a lot of running. That's never happened to me. Can happen with tennis players, people who dance a lot, anything like that. It's just basically just jamming your toes up to the end of your shoe too many times. Okay. Runny nose. I get a runny nose when I exercise sometimes. Happens with some people. It's one of your body's protective mechanisms. It's on the offense when it feels like it's under stress and starts to run. Red eyes can happen. If you're lifting heavyweights, you burst a vessel in your eye. I haven't had that happen. That happened at a gym one time when I was there, guy was lifting weights, he just turned around and his eye was like, ah, think you look a little too heavy there. And then finally, number seven. This is the one everybody's been waiting for. Corgasms. For some people, exercise can lead to an exercise induced orgasm, or what they call a core gasm. While abdominal and core muscle exercises are common triggers, they aren't the only exercise that can induce one. Some people have reportedly experienced one while cycling, weightlifting, running, doing yoga, or even walking. Walking. That'd be awesome.

[Joe Getty]

Go for a walk. Whatever the opposite of that is. That's what I have.

[Jack Armstrong]

It'd be awesome to go for a walk. Those are the noises I make, in case you were wondering.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, great. Very good, Very good. That will haunt my dreams.

[Jack Armstrong]

Need to know, I wonder how many people that happens with like one in a million. Has it happened once ever to a human being or. There are a lot of people in the gym that are owing out over there and I don't even know.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you got earbuds in.

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't know, right? I got my earbuds in. I don't hear them moaning. You said this happens during which exercises? Usually anything that's core related. That's why they call it a core gasm. You said cycling though, right? Cycling can do it. That you know, you got the seat.

[Joe Getty]

Maybe that's the only one that's making any. Not for dudes. Well, yeah, trust me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Women tend to experience them more than men. So you'd have you'd know more about this. So none of your friends have ever mentioned. Wow, I really, really got off during the gym today. No, that conversation has never happened in.

[Joe Getty]

My circle of friends, twice in the history of mankind. But they just wanted to get you to click. Because I'm getting that feeling more like cortur or Corgany.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, endorphins in general are orgasm accelerators. So if you, you know, are getting close, that makes it more likely to happen, I guess.

[Joe Getty]
