Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Viral Starbucks Cup Meltdown

Timestamps: 02:45 – 06:16

• Armstrong introduces a viral video of a man arguing with Starbucks employees over a coveted “bear cup,” which Armstrong and Getty lampoon for its pettiness.
• Getty and Armstrong mock the man’s entitlement and social behavior, using the incident to lament the decline in civil, real-world human interactions.
• Both hosts express exasperation at how online content like this—arguments and outrage—dominates social discourse.

Notable Quotes:

• Armstrong: “And it's no country for Old Men because I have reached a point in my life where I just can't deal with humanity anymore.” (04:37)
• Getty (jokingly): “Someone needs to kin, bone him, dox him, figure out who he is, and then for a period of one week, everyone in America who passes them should throw coffee in his face.” (04:45)
• Armstrong (on internet outrage): “Every time, you know, that sort of thrice removed… you saw something posted online or you're reading an Internet argument or something like that. Ugh, no, no. Wander down the street, say hey to your neighbor…” (06:03)

---

2. The Loneliness Epidemic & The “Real World”

Timestamps: 06:16 – 07:26

• Armstrong suggests society is shifting toward more people living alone, leading to a craving for superficial online drama to fill the void.
• Getty agrees, speculating such isolation leads to a greater preoccupation with online trivialities.

Memorable Moment:

• Getty (facetiously philosophical): “Well, they will be miserable and unhappy and all right.” (06:31)

---

3. Planet of the Ants (And Other Species)

Timestamps: 06:42 – 07:26

• In a lighter aside, Getty muses about what species might inherit the Earth, ultimately declaring: “It's going to be a planet of the ants...The ants don't get pissed off at social media. They just build their little hills.” (07:13–07:22)
• Armstrong counters that maybe AI will take over. “Maybe mankind had their run and we didn't do a good job. We should be taken over.” (07:36)

---

4. The Prize is Never Free: The True Cost of Winning a Game Show

Timestamps: 07:38 – 11:12

• The hosts dig into the logistics of winning a car (or other prizes) on The Price is Right:
  • Winners are immediately presented with a tax bill—often in the thousands—due upfront before claiming their prize.
  • Many contestants cannot afford the taxes and are often forced to sell or forfeit their prizes, sometimes settling for far less cash than the item’s supposed value.
• Armstrong and Getty explore the absurdity of winning prizes that are logistically (or financially) out of reach, especially for people who aren’t wealthy and may have to transport items across the country.

Notable Quotes:

• Armstrong: “According to past participants, when you win the car immediately they give you a form to sign and you have to cut a check for the taxes on the car before you can get the car.” (07:54)
• Armstrong: “You just won a new RV. Now you need to cut us a check for $20,000…” (09:24)
• Getty: “It's a $2,400 set. The shipping will be $15,000. Or we can pay you 500 bucks to get the hell out of here and shut up, Drew Carey. Your smile hides your lies.” (11:12)
• Armstrong: “It'd be hard to come out ahead. I can see how you would end up in a situation where you're sitting there with your husband and your wife thinking, let them cut us a check for $8,000 and we'll go home.” (10:27)

---

5. Game Show Realities: NDAs, Scandals, and Value of Prizes

Timestamps: 15:18 – 17:54

• An online search reveals that Price is Right contestants must sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), which is why stories about these hidden costs aren’t more widely known.
• Getty brings up the “models” on game shows and discusses—from a libertarian, tongue-in-cheek angle—whether workplace flirtation or harassment was ever “part of the deal.”
• Armstrong and Getty crack wise about impractical prizes, like dune buggies and ATVs, and joke about the stunning disconnection between TV excitement and real post-show logistics.
• Both hosts argue contestants should openly ask, “So, what are the taxes on that?”, praising figures like Mr. Beast, who covers taxes and delivery for his prize winners.

Notable Quotes:

• Getty: “According to the Internet, they have an NDA for the Price is Right, so they can't talk about it. Because I was just thinking, why don't we hear more about that? Like, ah, screw this.” (15:19)
• Armstrong: “Nobody, by the way, nobody gets these prizes. Nobody's claimed a prize in the last 15 years.” (15:44)
• Armstrong: “It's funny that those shows have lasted all these years with that reality where everybody gets all excited. Oh, wouldn't that be amazing? A washer dryer set, a washer, dryer, 2,210 miles from where I live. What am I going to do with that?” (11:29)
• Getty: “…your smile hides your lies.” (11:16, aimed at Drew Carey)

---

6. Satirical Observations & Pop Culture Commentary

Timestamps Interwoven

• Throughout, Armstrong & Getty use the topic to poke fun at aspects of American pop culture, the disconnect of TV fantasy vs. reality, and even draw satirical comparisons to YouTube philanthropist Mr. Beast—praising him for being forthright about the true costs of giveaways.

Notable Quote:

• Armstrong: “…that’s why one of the reasons Mr. Beast got so popular. Whenever he gives you a prize, he pays the taxes and…makes sure it shows up in your driveway. It’s not a scam like Drew Carey…” (11:48)
• Getty: “Your smile hides your lies.” (11:16)

[Armstrong]

U n d you just want a new car? It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty.

[Getty]

One more thing.

[Armstrong]

Before we get to that. And od as we record this in the studio, I'm looking up the TV and the price and right. Price is Right with Drew Carey has just begun. That's what we're about to talk about. You want a new car? What's. What's it like when you win a new car and the price is right? Get to that in just a second. First this, though. This is at a Starbucks. Some dude gets into an argument with the employees or something over that new, very popular Starbucks bear cup.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Let's bear rista.

[Armstrong]

Is that what it's called, the bear?

[Getty]

It's kind of a play on words.

[Armstrong]

So it looks like the bear from the. When you used to get honey in a little bear and you squeeze it out his head, but it's some sort of Starbucks cup or mug or what comes in it. Coffee.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

It's a cup.

[Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

I would think like an iced coffee.

[Armstrong]

Yeah. I wouldn't drink hot coffee. You'd burn your hands on that. Anyway, so somebody cut in line, and here's how it went. But what I'm saying is that you were not in line with the rest of the guest.

[Washington Post Promo Announcer]

It's not.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

I was in line. I was in line from 5:30.

[Armstrong]

Show me the cameras, please. I can't show you the camera.

[Getty]

But you can.

[Armstrong]

You're claiming something. No, I can't show you the camera. Show you the camera. You can, though. No, I can't.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Why not?

[Armstrong]

I cannot show you the camera. So go look at the cameras.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Tell me if I was in line or not.

[NordicTrack Promo Announcer]

I'm going to ask you to leave, sir.

[Armstrong]

We can serve you, though. Anymore for you. There was one more. She took it to the back.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

They're refusing to give me the bear. Right over there, sir, if you want to wait even more.

[Armstrong]

So you're not gonna. You're not gonna serve me?

[Advertiser/Promoter]

You're not gonna sell me the beer?

[Armstrong]

All right. Wow.

[Getty]

So he cut in front of everybody to get the stupid bear cup.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Yeah. And I will say that clip was about six minutes long. He just went back and forth with this woman.

[Armstrong]

What do you look like? How old was he?

[Advertiser/Promoter]

It was. He's the one shooting the video. And he posted it, which tells you even more about this person.

[Armstrong]

Okay.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

So I didn't see what he looked like, but, I mean, he was just. It was all this. He was repeating himself.

[Washington Post Promo Announcer]

Show me the camera.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Oh, you're not going to sell me the bear.

[Armstrong]

And it's no country for Old Men because I have reached a point in my life where I just can't deal with humanity anymore.

[Getty]

Somebody needs to kin, bone him, dox him, figure out who he is, and then for a period of one week, everyone in America who passes them should throw coffee in his face.

[Armstrong]

Exactly. Let's figure out who this guy is, what kind of weird porn he likes, and mock him going forward.

[Getty]

And again, Earl, hot beverages upon him. That is humor, that's parody. I do not suggest that in any circumstances.

[Armstrong]

Oh my God. Humanity is hard to take sometimes.

[Getty]

Yeah. You know, it's funny, I was thinking about no country for Old Men as I was getting ready to, to come back to work and get it on. Just some of the, you know, some of the aspects of what we talk about are just so annoying. Like you know, the Internet, stuff like that. And just somebody posts something, somebody claps back, some non journalist creates some idiot story out of it that nobody should read. And it's like, tell you what, I enjoyed the hell out of living what we both have suggested over and over again. Make your life about the actual human beings you contact to whatever extent possible. You know, that sort of thrice removed. You saw something posted online or you're reading an Internet argument or something like that. Ugh, no, no. Wander down the street, say hey to your neighbor, even a person at the store who you interact with when you're trying to cut in line and grab a stupid bear cup. At least that's the real world. But then he goes and posts it online. I'm back to throwing coffee in his face.

[Armstrong]

Are we or are we not moving toward more people who are alone in an apartment without friends or kids?

[Getty]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

So the world interaction is this way. Yes, Michael, I just agreeing with you. Yeah.

[Getty]

Well, they will be miserable and unhappy and all right.

[Armstrong]

But it's gonna lead to more people paying attention to more of this sort of crap just so they have something to talk about because they don't have anything going on in their real lives.

[Getty]

Yeah. By the way, semi related topic. While Planet of the Apes would be infinitely entertaining according to the movies I've seen. And I like the idea of a planet of the Beavers. I think honestly, I was taking a walk with the dog. It's going to be a planet of the ants. They're everywhere. There are zillions of them. You can't kill them. What's, what's. What do they say about the honey badger? Honey badger, don't give A F or whatever it is. Boy. You want to talk about something that doesn't give an F? Ants. Ants are fine. They just do their job. The ants don't get pissed off at social media. They just build their little hills. Planet of the ants.

[Armstrong]

We should start saying, fine, let the AI take over because that's, that's what's going to take over. And maybe mankind had their run and we didn't do a good job. We should be taking over.

[Getty]

Maybe it was great while it lasted.

[Armstrong]

Okay. And then finally this. Before we get out of here. We've talked about this before. This interviews some people who, who actually have dealt with it. When you win a prize on a game show, you immediately get hit with a bill. Because most game, almost all game shows are recorded in California. So you got to deal with California taxes. It's a brand new car on the Price is Right, which is on television right in front of me. According to past participants, when you win the car immediately they give you a form to sign and you have to cut a check for the taxes on the car before you can get the car.

[Getty]

Wow.

[Armstrong]

And it could be a good chunk of money. And a lot of people that are participants on those shows because you're the sort of person that can stand in line for hours to try to get on a stupid game show. You might not be the most well to do person to start with. You don't have two to $20,000 to cut as a check to pick up your new rv and so you just can't and.

[Getty]

Right.

[Armstrong]

A lot of people, I'm. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the majority. Just work out some sort of deal. The overall package is this. You give me this much and you get to keep the rest and then they leave.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

That's what my friend did.

[Armstrong]

You have a friend who did that?

[Getty]

Yeah.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

They won a contest and won like three or four items and they ended up keeping like two and then selling the rest or.

[Lowe's Black Friday Announcer]

Yeah.

[Getty]

Because they couldn't afford the taxes on them. You know, I don't think it is your top 2% of taxpayers. It's on the prices. Right. I mean, I'm picturing, you know, Jim Jones, come on down. He's jumping up and down, doing the cheerleader thing. Tell us about yourself, Jim. Well, I'm the CEO of America Care Hospitals. We've got 75 facilities in four different states. Yeah, it seems unlikely.

[Armstrong]

Well, but even if you're. Even if like I could afford it, I'm on the prices. Right. And they announce you just want a new RV. Now you need to cut us a check for $20,000. Think, well, I wasn't planning on buying an RV. I don't really want an RV. I got to cut your check for $20,000. Then I've got an RV and I've got to try to sell it, I guess, and come out ahead, but then.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Doesn'T seem like a prize.

[Armstrong]

I don't know if I want to do that.

[Getty]

Well, right. I was thinking of a car. And theoretically, you know, if you didn't have the cash on hand, you might be able to borrow the money to pay the taxes, then sell your car and pay the people back. But that's a pain in the ass. Your insurance costs are probably going to be two and a half times what they were on your old crap heap. Got.

[Armstrong]

The more I think about it, the more pain in the ass there is involved. So I went, a car. I got to cut you a check for the car. And then it says here you pick it up at the local dealer. Okay, so now I'm in California on vacation. Went to the prices, right? I got to get back to Ohio. I got this car here. Am I going to have it transported? Am I going to drive it? I had a flight already.

[Getty]

What the hell?

[Armstrong]

It's all a pain in the ass, every bit of it. It'd be hard to come out ahead. I can see how you would end up in a situation where you're sitting there with your husband and your wife thinking, let him cut us a check for $8,000 and we'll go home.

[Getty]

Oh, yeah, 100%.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

I wonder if those shows, like, bank on that. People aren't gonna pay for this.

[Armstrong]

I'm sure they do want a lot of the stuff. And you just got a pair of jet skis. You think I don't jet ski? What am I gonna cut you a check for $3,000 for a couple of jet skis that I gotta somehow get from Beverly Hills to Burbank to Ohio? What the hell?

[Getty]

A new living room set. Wow, cool. Great.

[Armstrong]

All right.

[Getty]

Like, get it in my house.

[Armstrong]

How do I get the couch from Burbank to Ohio?

[Getty]

Right. It's a $2,400 set. The shipping will be $15,000. Or we can pay you 500 bucks to get the hell out of here and shut up, Drew Carey. Your smile hides your lies.

[Armstrong]

It's funny that those shows have lasted all these years with that reality where everybody gets all excited. Oh, wouldn't that be amazing? A washer dryer set, a washer, dryer, 2,210 miles from where I live. What am I going to do with that?

[Getty]

We need the contestants to speak live.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

On the air and say, look, I.

[Getty]

Can'T use this, you know.

[Armstrong]

Exactly. Yeah, somebody should say more often, so what are the taxes going to be on that? That's why one of the reasons Mr. Beast got so popular. Whenever he gives you a prize, he pays the taxes and and or if it's a physical item, he gets it to your home, you in a car, he pays the taxes and he makes sure it shows up in your driveway. It's not the scam that Drew Carey, who's clearly on Ozempic, does according to.

[Getty]

That by name, but gentleman by nature. Mr. Beast this episode is brought to you by Prize Picks.

[Armstrong]

[Getty]

Yes, Kitty.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

According to the Internet, they have an NDA for the Price is Right, so they can't talk about it. Because I was just thinking, why don't we hear more about that? Like, ah, screw this.

[Armstrong]

You're right. That's what it is. So they, they make you sign an NDA to play it all and you think, what do I care? I don't care. I'm not going to disclose anything. I get to run up there and jump up and down because I just want a new hot tub that I'm gonna ship to my home. Yeah, otherwise you'd hear all the time, nobody, by the way, nobody gets these prizes. Nobody's claimed a prize in the last 15 years.

[Getty]

We just catch a kind of a check that wouldn't impress everybody and you leave. All right, so here's a really controversial question about the game shows. So I was thinking, I don't know why, but My mind went to the hotties that, you know, show you the prize package and smile and wear the little costumes down again. And there have been a couple of harassment scandals through the years that the host, the big powerful host, the face of the program, has gotten a little forward with. With the girls, if you. I mean, because they have no skills other than being physically attractive and hot. Girls are a dime a dozen. If you were to advertise, must be willing to put up with sexual harassment. Not assault, certainly. Sure. Or anything like that. But the host will regularly ask you if you'd like to go out sometime in a libertarian. From a libertarian point of view, shouldn't that be okay?

[Armstrong]

Absolutely.

[Getty]

Made expressly clear to them.

[Armstrong]

Absolutely. And it was more or less expressly clear up until 20 years ago. Probably. This is what you're gonna have to put up with. And you'd get more people signing up for that than you could take.

[Getty]

By the way, the host is a generous man. He absolutely. He's a nice enough fellow. He's just a horn dog. And, you know, if you do get together with him, he'll probably lavish expensive gifts on you and you can say no. But if he gets tired of it, it's probably going to be over. Just so you know, going in.

[Armstrong]

Okay, I'm.

[Getty]

So I'm looking up.

[Armstrong]

This girl's jumping up and down. She just won like a dune buggy and some ATV sort of thing. So, like, okay, I live in suburban Cincinnati. What am I going to do with this ATV in a dune buggy? And I gotta transport it back after I cut you a check for several thousand dollars.

[Getty]

Surely they connect you with a local dealer. A local dune buggy dealer.

[Armstrong]

Oh, cool. A dune buggy.

[Getty]

Just what I needed. Hey, for when I'm on the dunes.

[Armstrong]

But only after I write you a check for $3,000. Okay.

[Lowe's Black Friday Announcer]

Yay.

[Armstrong]

You're not jumping up and down like you were before. What's the problem? All these years we thought the price.

[Advertiser/Promoter]

Is right, the price is wrong.

[Armstrong]

It's exactly right. Well, I guess that's it.
