Key Points:

• Artistic Elements: The letter features a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman and a signature mimicking female anatomy, which seems uncharacteristic of Trump.

• Social Circles: The hosts note that both Trump and Epstein moved in elite social circles, making it unsurprising they might exchange birthday greetings.

Quotes:

6. HR Training and the Evolution of Gendered Language (37:24 – 36:05)

The episode transitions to a segment discussing recent trends in corporate HR training, particularly the shift away from gendered language. The hosts critique the push towards using terms like "Transgender, Gender Diverse (TGD)" and the avoidance of traditional gendered terms in professional settings.

Discussion Points:

Transcript

[Jack Armstrong]

This is an iHeart podcast broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Unnamed Contributor]

What did Trump allegedly write on Epstein's birthday card? According to the Wall street another have a may every day be a secret day or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Unnamed Contributor]

What the hell is that? Who would ever say that?

[Jack Armstrong]

I actually got the full text of it, which we should have gotten to earlier.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Okay, well, let's do that after clips of the week. I would like to hear that.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the key line is happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Who would ever say that? Give me a context. Make the context up where that makes sense. Unless you got some sort of giant secret that you two are in on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah, I'm trying to come up with, like, an innocent explanation.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Trump denies that he wrote the letter, and I. I don't know, think that he probably did.

[Jack Armstrong]

But you and your friend have a secret place that you go with a beautiful view of the mountains, and it's a trail nobody's on, and. And you write the next day to her. May every day be another wonderful secret. Okay, I guess maybe I'm stretching here.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I want to hear the whole letter, so.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. Yeah, it's. It's intriguing. You want to hear an Epstein joke before we get started?

[Unnamed Contributor]

Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was an actual question. This is from a longtime friend of the Armstrong and Getty show and listener, Andy. Shout out. Andy, I hope you're doing well. And your brother as well. Man dies, reaches heaven. God says, you get one question, full truth, full disclosure. Guy goes, cool. Who killed Epstein? God replies, he took his own life. No one helped. Guy says, wow, Mossad cover up goes higher than I thought.

[Unnamed Contributor]

All right, that's.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't satisfy those who believe in the grand conspiracy. That's the nature of it. That's what it's designed to do. By the way, it's a perpetual tune in slash revenue machine.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Well, I got a little more on that, but we'll do. Okay, we'll do this first.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. First, it's Friday. Tradition. Let's take a fond look back at the week that was. It's Cow Clips of the Week. So you got these nuts on the left.

[Joe Getty]

Take it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Take the crumbs and be happy.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Didn't Pam Bondi say that this is Cow Whips of the week? We begin tonight with President Trump, his medical condition, and the new diagnosis. The President remains in excellent health, but I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein.

[Jack Armstrong]

Case would be of interest to anybody. The president going on to say, let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work.

[Unnamed Advertiser]

Where are my fellow weaklings at?

[Unnamed Contributor]

How many of you are not satisfied.

[Jack Armstrong]

With the results of the investigation?

[Unnamed Contributor]

They're stupid people, honestly.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Announcing plans to sue the Wall Street Journal. I am very disappointed with President Putin. Will these be Patriot missiles specifically or Patriot batteries that you're planning? And when do you think this is really significant? With $36 trillion in debt and we just don't have any options anymore.

[Joe Getty]

We run out of options.

[Unnamed Contributor]

We've got to start doing the hard work.

[Jack Armstrong]

He calls me new scum, you know, Come on. How do I explain that to my kid? There is no sanctuary anywhere.

[Unnamed Contributor]

We're going to effect this mission.

[Jack Armstrong]

Secure the homeland. All right. Come on. You're okay. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Elmo is part of the male loneliness epidemic.

[Jack Armstrong]

What about in the 90s when there was a Tyrannosaurus rex stomping through San Diego?

[Unnamed Advertiser]

I saw a girl in her use.

[Unnamed Contributor]

A sharpie like a lip stain.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I must try it. You know, I'd rather smell swim in a pool filled with the boiling hot sulfurous urine of Satan. Next year will be our last season.

[Unnamed Contributor]

The network will be ending the late show in May and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Deep to center.

[Unnamed Contributor]

When Caitlin Clark retires from the wnba, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most, fist fighting black women.

[Joe Getty]

I believe even breeding. Look at you. Good athlete. Good athlete. I'm black, mommy. Mom's white. Now you. I don't stepped on it once. You can't keep stepping on it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I love being able to live out.

[Unnamed Contributor]

My dreams, but at the end of.

[Jack Armstrong]

The day, sometimes I just don't understand the point, you know, because.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Fist fighting black women is a funny joke. And I watched the whole Shane Gillis espy's monologue yesterday. There's a couple of jokes in there. So at one point he says, megan Rapinoe could not be here tonight. Nice. And then the crowd kind of groans because he said that. He said, oh, no, we're gonna pretend she's a good time. Wow, that was great. And then he ended with. Which got no laughs, partially, I think, because the audience was too young. But he said, one of my great heroes is Norm MacDonald. And he said this joke at the end of the espys in the 90s. So I'm going to do the same joke to End. And then he congratulated whoever won the Heisman. I don't remember. It was congratulations on winning the Heisman Trophy. It's something you can never take away from you unless you kill your ex wife and a friend. And then they might.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Wow.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I'm just Lady Megan rap is there tonight. Nice. Oh, two other things from clips a week. One.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know what I really love about that more than anything is ESPN has been so suffocatingly woke for so long as we're talking about. I think it was last week. It doesn't matter when. Earlier this week. They have a one sided rule about politics. If you're conservative, you cannot say anything. But if you're, you know, liberal, you're on the right side of things so you can make political statements. So fu. Espn. Way to go, Shane.

[Unnamed Contributor]

So in the clips of the week, the, the whole Coldplay outing, the Affair thing, it's amazing the amount of coverage it's getting and the way it's all being. Oh my God, did they get caught? Is the way everybody's like laughing at it. Like it didn't just destroy several human beings, like like really destroy them emotionally, including children. I mean I just. It's weird that everybody can. Oh my God, can you imagine? No, I can't imagine. And you shouldn't. What I don't understand why that's being treated is so funny. I mean it's. Anyway, that's enough of that. And then the, the person impersonating the Tucker Carlson thing I keep mentioning. I listened to one third of the three hour podcast about Epstein that Tucker Carlson had last night with his favorite historian. One thing that they mentioned, getting to conspiracies. Because you were just talking about this a second ago. Like Tucker at one point said, I mean that. Continue. Tucker said, it continues this myth. I mean There are like 200 countries on earth and people act like that these are individual countries, blah blah, blah. And that like nobody's controlling them when you know, obviously there are a handful of human beings controlling all this. And the historian said, yeah, I mean it's amazing that people still believe. And so they just took it as.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fact that obviously stop calling Daryl Cooper a historian.

[Unnamed Contributor]

That's what Tucker calls himself. But it's amazing that they both just took it as fact. We all agree that there, there's a cabal of like a dozen people that run the world. Obviously that's true. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, I know exactly what Tucker and Daryl Cooper and company are doing. It's, it's inescapable now. I'LL put it to you like this. You got your collectivist Marxist, woke neo Marxist, rot in education. A lot of it's soaked into the media. Journalism has gone away as a professional. Now it's just advocacy. And the government is growing out of control. The bloat, the welfare state, blah, blah, blah. It's all going in one direction. And you could absolutely make the argument that, you know, one or two or three or all of them together are existential threats to the health and safety of the American republic. And that's, that's true. You might point put your list in different orders than somebody else. But, but, you know, it's, it's true. Then there are a couple of different reactions to that reality. My reaction would be, gotta keep doing this, spreading the word, convincing people of what works and what doesn't. Convince them that a lot of the folks in the progressive left are liars, they're con artists. They're not trying to bring diversity, equity and inclusion, and they're trying to bring Marxism in. They're trying to take down Western civilization. We need to clean out the rot, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and vote for people who agree. The alternate answer on the right is it's gone too far for that. We need to institute some form of totalitarianism to end it by force now, because democracy is too far past the tipping point. It won't work anymore. And you know, various people would say, you, you old, you know, boomers. We're not boomers. We're Gen X, you Reaganite boomer. You think you, you can win it your way. You've lost. Look at the world. We've been doing it your way. We need a, an iron hand to stop this. And Tucker's thing, he would characterize it differently, probably, but. And if you think I'm wrong, I would love to hear your counter argument. I mean, I actually would like to because I'd rather be right and admit that I was wrong later. Tucker is so smart and such a brilliant writer. He is trying to sell us on the second way. Call it fascism, if you like, or whatever. His buddy Darrell Cooper's actually called for totalitarianism on the record. He's trying to sell you that without naming it. So by the time, by the time you are convinced that you know what, he's right about all that stuff, by the time he pulls up the curtain and names it, you're already with him.

[Unnamed Contributor]

He's led you there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. I honestly think that's what he is up to.

[Unnamed Contributor]

That's interesting. I, I have been assuming for a while that Tucker's main goal was just.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wealth, but maybe he hates that idea either. But I that was the one thing that mystified me so much about Tucker's turn of late is that I was completely convinced that he is a patriot and loves this country and loves Western civilization and the rest of it. And so I couldn't quite figure out why he what he was doing and why he was doing it. But now I think I get it. He is among those who believe we're too far gone to save it with democracy. If I am wrong, please let me know. Mailbagarmstrongandgetty.com One nugget before we take a.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Break and then Joe's gonna read the whole birthday card letter from Trump to Epstein that the Wall Street Journal allegedly Wall Street Journal printed today. This Byron York serious journalist retweeted this this information well, the timing and optics are horrible about Stephen Colbert being fired. Here's the reality. The show costs more than 100 million year dollars a year to produce and it's losing more than $40 million a year.

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Unnamed Contributor]

That's what it says here. Costs $100 million a year to produce and has been losing 40 million a year. CBS execs have been mulling pulling the plug for a long time. I guess it would be a loss leader like you get so much attention for the promote your other shows. Your other shows theoretically.

[Jack Armstrong]

But if that's true viral moments, that's true.

[Unnamed Contributor]

You don't need a political reason to get rid of the guy. See if this sounds like Trump to you. According to the Wall Street Journal, he wrote a birthday card to Epstein. We'll have that for you next.

[Unnamed Contributor]

So I was hoping the Epstein story was dying down. Then the Wall Street Journal has big giant front page, top of the fold exclusive. Today, Donald Trump signed a birthday card with a note for Epstein on his 50th birthday. Trump says it's not true and is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal.

[Jack Armstrong]

So actually, what happened was Ghislaine Maxwell is Pervo Epstein's purvo, rapey, assistant, friend, lover was preparing a special gift. She collected letters from dozens of Epstein's associates for his 2003 birthday album and bound it in leather and presented it as a gift to him. And allegedly, there's a letter bearing Trump's name, its body. Like others in the album, it contains several lines of typewritten text, which we'll get to framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand drawn with a heavy marker. A small A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts. And the future woman's signature is a squiggly Donald below her waist, mimicking her public area. The letter famously concludes with happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Whatever the hell that means.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's weird. Trump said, this is not me. This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words. So here's the rest of it, and for what it's worth, I think this aspect of this big blockbuster story will be gone in days and nobody will ever talk about it again. It's. It proves nothing. It leads to nothing. It's just silly. But it is amusing. Uh, let's see. Da, da, da, da, da. They go through a bunch of. All right, here we go. It isn't clear how the letter with Trump's signature was prepared. Inside of the outline of the naked woman was a typewit typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person. I'm going to read it literal, verbatim.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Already sounds more artistic than Trump would likely be.

[Jack Armstrong]

I would agree. Voiceover. There must be more to life than having everything. DONALD yes, there is. But I won't tell you what it is. JEFFREY Nor will I, since I already know what it is. DONALD we have certain things in common, Jeffrey. JEFFREY yes, we do. Come to think of it, Donald, enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? JEFFREY As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you, Donald, a pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. What a load of crap.

[Unnamed Contributor]

So some of the pushback was Donald Trump has never used the word enigma in his life. I heard Jonah Goldberg say that the other day. But then somebody found Donald Trump saying the word enigma on during one of his rambling speeches at some point years ago. So he has used the word. That doesn't prove anything either.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's the bottom line. They were part of the same big social circle in the 2000s in Florida and New York. Everybody who is anybody knew both of them.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

From scientists to stars to movers and shakers of Wall Street. It's utterly unsurprising. He would have sent the guy a note saying Happy Birthday.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I think he would send a note. Would he craft a imaginary conversation? It just doesn't seem very Trump like to do that sort of thing.

Ah, we live in snarky times. Some of the funnier comments people have made online about the couple that got caught at the Coldplay concert. I'll get to that next segment.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, you hate to see other people's misery. I. I don't approve. So this is getting a fair amount of attention. It's. It's kind of interesting on a number of different levels which we'll discuss in a moment or two. You are going to hear John Brown, who is a former big time bodybuilder and also the father of a couple of NFL players passed. I think one might be formal. Another is a top tier college Football player. His name is John Brown. His sons, the NFL players, are Aman Ra Saint Brown and Equanimous Saint Brown. I don't know, adding the saint thing in there on how that works exactly. Perhaps the Pope sainted them while I wasn't looking, but he was on his Son Amon Ra as podcast and it went like this.

[Joe Getty]

What's the question that they ask you most about how you got three kids to go D1 and 2 in the NFL? They want to know in general how I did it. I believe in breeding. Look at you. Good athlete, good athlete. I'm black, mom's white. Now you. I don't stepped on it once. You can't keep stepping on it because you're gonna mess it up. You're gonna weaken it. You can't keep cutting it, can't keep cutting it. No, no, you, you, you in Brooklyn. Cause Brooklyn's half. If I cut a chance, if I cut it one more time, it's over. You can't keep cutting it. You gotta be careful. You can't keep cutting it. You gotta think about that. You know what I mean? No, he's deadass. If I'm black, I got the black gold running through my veins. Oh, I'm excited. I'm just gonna find the right person to mate with, right? And if I'm white, I'm saying, let me get one of these brothers around here. If you want to have athletes, if you don't have athletes, then just go ahead and just spread your seed wherever. So why'd you cut it once with us? Because you could. I knew I didn't cut it once because he's gold. I got that black gold in me. And mama got that big chin. I said, look, ain't nothing wrong. Big toe woman, big chin. Who says big chin? You gotta think of this stuff. Some guys don't think of it until later. Go like I'm standing at Papuana. You wouldn't know it. You're on the field. One of you guys on the field playing, and I was talking to a guy, told him this story. He goes, you were thinking about that, John? I go, yeah, you weren't. He goes, hell no. Okay, man, he's little, the wife is little, kids are little, everybody little. It's over. Little, little, little chicken. Little, little, little, little.

[Jack Armstrong]

First of all, I really kind of love the way the boys are kidding their dad and, and winking to each other about dad.

[Unnamed Contributor]

But with that chin and those big toes. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Ain't nothing wrong with a big toed woman. Never heard that term before the striking. Thing about this is, you know, for the longest time, you didn't dare say anything about, you know, race and sports. And you're supposed to, like, kind of not notice that the NFL is, whatever it is, 68 black or 85 or whatever it is.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I think it's higher than 68.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, right, yeah. And sprinters are almost the great champions, et cetera. But he's saying, look, I'm a black guy. I got a white woman, but you can't be cutting it anymore. And at one point he says, you and Brooklyn, that's Amon Ra's fiance, she's half and half. You have a chance. You can't keep cutting it.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Diluting the blackness of their kids.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. Yeah. Because he's got the black gold running through his veins. As he said, I. Are we supposed to condemn. Let me. Let me take a look. I've read a couple of comments on this. You know, it's funny, nobody in the media. I'm just scrolling real quick, but luckily I took a speed reading course back in the 70s when that was a thing. Nobody knows what to say about it. They just feature it and then kind of go about their business.

[Unnamed Contributor]

So I think it's interesting that he.

[Jack Armstrong]

Believes they don't want to step in the racial thing. You know, even. Even now.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I think it. It's. It's interesting to me that he's kind of shocked that other people didn't think this way when they were picking mates about, like, trying to breed the right kind of person. Well, you didn't think about this at all. I look at him. They're all little. He's a little either. A little, little, little, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. He's talking to a guy at a Pop Warner football game. Of course, you got little kids, not big strong guys who make it D1 in NFL. You didn't think about it when you got married. You married because you loved her. Please.

[Unnamed Contributor]

So you're.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nothing wrong with a big toad woman.

[Unnamed Contributor]

That seems like something from an old timey blues song.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, it really does.

[Unnamed Contributor]

You're. I'm gonna assume you're aware of the Coldplay story and the couple caught on the kiss cam and they're having an affair and how it's blown up, the fact that this guy put out a statement, this CEO trying to. I don't know if he's trying to save his job as CEO or.

[Unnamed Advertiser]

He.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Puts out a statement. I. I want to acknowledge a moment that's been circulating online and the disappointment it's caused. But Then he ends with, I also. I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's life into a spectacle. So the fact that you got caught, you're out in public at a concert, the camera pans your way and you're with your mistress. That's their fault. What a weird angle that is.

[Jack Armstrong]

You are having a private moment, quote, unquote, in a stadium full of people. What does that even mean, you numbskull?

[Unnamed Contributor]

What a dumb thing to say.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, wow. Especially because he was trying to do the I've let so many people down I care about. I am a terrible person. Me, a couple of me. A culpa. But then he goes with, but, you know, where does Coldplay get off, like showing videos of people and stuff? Because it was a private moment, guys. Clearly, dude. Yeah.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Some of the comments, not the Beast said, they're holding each other so close you probably only had to buy one ticket. This is from a guy claiming that he lost his job job because he bought the tickets for the couple and now he's been fired. That has been debunked. That's not actually true, but one of the comments to the. The guy that worked there claiming he bought the tickets and got fired was buying tickets to a Cold Blake concert is significant grounds for termination, irrespective, which is pretty funny. This is my favorite one, though. My favorite meme that was put out there. So the picture is. You gotta have the picture with the caption. Like a lot of memes. The picture is a guy smiling, sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in the morning, opening his laptop, and the caption is, ah, what a peaceful morning. And my wife went to a Coldplay concert with her boss last night, so she's sleeping in time to browse social media. Oh, my God. I wonder, you know, and this is. This is not funny, but I wonder how or when her husband and his wife found out. I'll bet it was through social media the next day. Because I doubt either one of them went home with the. They probably went home with the assumption hopefully they won't hear about this or. Or the assumption that it wasn't going to leave that concert. They got caught on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody recognized us at the concert.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Yeah, I mean, so Chris Martin mentioning, oh my God, are they having an affair or what? The way they ducked away. Whoever screen captured that and put it out there. That's a heck of a thing. So they probably thought they were keeping a secret. So I'll bet. I'll bet their respective spouses did find out through social media, which is brutal. I like this line. Coldplay hasn't made a single in years. Last night they made two. Haha. Also laughing about a marriage splitting up, which is not very funny really. But there's one more I wanted to get to, but I don't remember what it was. That is a. That is quite the development.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm trying to verify that she. She's married too. You've heard?

[Unnamed Contributor]

Yeah, they're both married. That's what.

[Jack Armstrong]

She's a cutie. Wow. What are you two doing?

[Unnamed Contributor]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

She'd just been promoted to that position. Jack. No pun intended.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Ah, what a peaceful morning. My wife went to the Coldplay concert with her boss last night. She's sleeping in. Time to browse social media with my cup of coffee.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that is drylicious.

[Unnamed Contributor]

That's rough.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my gosh, it is rough. It's. It's terrible.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I can't believe he tried to blame Coldplay. Dude, take, take. I talk to my kids this about all the. All the time I got. I've got no patience for blaming something, some something or someone else for something that's your fault. And. And dude, take responsibility. You're the sole creator of this mess.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, the guy who has the sort of judgment to put out that statement is the sort of guy who has the sort of judgment that he needs to put out that statement. He is. He is just that guy.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

You're playing. We're trying to have a private moment there in the concert hall with thousands of other people in.

So this is tangential to the Coldplay married couple affair story, but it's pretty interesting and it gets to the whole troll aspect of modern life. I get this kind of troll. I don't get those of you who just go online and criticize regular people to get under their skin. I don't understand that trolling. This kind of trolling I kind of get. So I came across this originally and believed it. This guy said, I work for this whatever the company was that the CEO got caught in the affair. Said, I work there. I just lost my job. They're blaming me because I bought them the Coldplay tickets. And then there was a ton of sympathy poured in on that's not fair or well, you are responsible somewhat. And then I finally read enough of them. Somebody said, don't fall for this is fake. This guy is constantly claiming to have been fired from whatever company is in the news right now. So whatever news story is going on with a company, he claims he just got fired then. And then people react.

[Jack Armstrong]

Has he started like a GoFundMe page? Has he profited from this?

[Unnamed Contributor]

Well, no, he actually explains it here because I got into his Twitter feed. He said, incredible content. Incredible content today. Top five day on this app where he does this all the time. He's really enjoying the responses to the he bought the Coldplay tickets. He says at one point. I don't understand how this continues to work. He's been doing this forever, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. So this is like just a meta gag he pulls, claiming to be tangential to the big story of the day. And always I got fired, right?

[Unnamed Contributor]

And lots of people who are in on the joke go to his site just to see him claiming to be fired. And the way people react to it and then other people don't know. I was trying to find the one where it said, like, why do you do this, dude? And he said, I just do it for the love of the game. I get nothing out of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is so hilarious. That is. That is. See, that's art, man. That's art. Just the trolling you're talking about is pathetic. It's like throwing a rock through a window and saying, look what I can do. But that is art.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Yeah. Like if Tesla, I'm going back through it. Like if Tesla's in the news, I'd have to go back through the news cycles to figure out how they fit. But just whoever's in the news, he.

[Jack Armstrong]

Claims, I just got fired from Tesla because Elon found out I raised money for Donald Trump.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Right. Exactly. That sort of thing. Him saying, I can't believe this continues to work. Oh, that's some funny trolling.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, he. That he's the Internet man of the day. Whatever. I got fired.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Here's the bad news. I got fired because I bought the Coldplay tickets. Oh, my God. That's funny. Somebody sent us actual screen captures from a recent HR training session that they had at their company. Now, that this also fits into the Coldplay story because she was the HR director, so. And I don't have time. I have time for this. Maybe I'll do it next week because it's good no matter what. We're always talking about these HR company training sessions and everything like that. Micro messages is what you got to look out for. Language is constantly evolving, and some words have become outdated and inappropriate. A recommended term is tgd. Transgender, gender diverse. So this is somebody's company training who is so far hipper than this. I hadn't even ever heard tgd, had you?

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[Unnamed Contributor]

That's the term you're supposed to be using now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Unnamed Contributor]

It has here the list of outdated terminology. And again, somebody screen captured this from their actual company HR meeting. Outdated terminology terminology. Transvestite. I knew that. Hermaphrodite. Transgendered female to male. Ftm. Male to male. Mtf. I thought that was okay. Biologically, no.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're not allowed to say female to male or male to female. That's interesting.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Gender identity Disorder. You're not supposed to say preferred pronouns are outdated terminology. You're not supposed to say preferred pronouns. Sex reassignment surgery. Transsexual.

[Jack Armstrong]

So they're saying, forbid you from saying biologically female or biologically male.

[Unnamed Contributor]

But the recommended term now is tgd, which is transgender, gender diverse.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're too hit for the room, as always. No, no. It's an exercise to get you to submit, to use that term. Hey, boy, we told you to use this term before. Now you use this term and you say, yes, sir. Don't hurt me, sir, and you submit to them. That's what it's all about.

[Unnamed Contributor]

The training said. The HR training said, be mindful of language. Gendered terms to avoid. Ladies, ma', am, gentlemen, sir, girls, guys. Consider instead using thanks, friends, have a good night or good morning folks. Hi everyone, can I get you all something? So you don't say, hey, can I get you guys something? Because obviously somebody would be deeply, deeply hurt and their lives damaged if I. If you said, could I get you guys something?

[Jack Armstrong]

And you gotta be like Disney and drop. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, drop that. That's gendered language.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Please do not use gendered language to, to address everyone.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, see, I'm not in your cult. Why would I use the terminology of your cult if I'm not in it? And friends, particularly friends in the media, why would you use the terms of the cult like gender affirming care when you're not in that cult?

[Unnamed Contributor]

Don't even. Without that, I just can't believe that companies are paying some firm, probably shocking amounts of money to come up with this slide presentation to tell you to say, say thank friends, thanks friends, or don't say thanks everybody, or thanks guys, or ladies and gentlemen, or anything like that, because again, somebody will be deeply, deeply wounded. Of course that's not it. It's that you don't want to get sued.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah, well, that. And I was just gonna say I'm not sure who I have more contempt for. The neo Marxists who are trying to foist this on us because they're trying to take over institutions, or the fools that are so weak minded they fall for the quasi moral arguments that. This is why you must teach your employees this. It's very important. Oh, okay, we will. We'll teach them that. Idiots.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Hey kids, it's that time again.

[Jack Armstrong]

With Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew. Michelangelo is pressing the buttons in the control room. Lead us off, Michael. You know, when I was younger, I'd go to NBA games and I gotta admit, one of my biggest fears was two things. It was getting on the kiss cam or being selected for the NBA halftime where you throw. You have to make the shot from half court to win a prize. And I just didn't want the crowd to boo me. So. Oh, I've overcome my fear of the kiss cam and NBA half court shooting. Congratulations, Katie Green. Our esteemed newswoman has the day off. Jack, do you have a final thought for us?

[Unnamed Contributor]

I just want to tip my cap to Alex Cohen, one of my favorite Twitter people ever, who, who, who every week pretends to have been fired from whatever company's in the news and then lets everybody react for his own enjoyment. God, we live in a weird world now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I tip my cap to him. I tip my cap also to Yuri Berliner, the former NPR executive who was writing about the defunding of npr. And he wrote it's a self inflicted wound. A product of how NPR embraced a fringe progressivism that costed any legitimate claim to stand as an impartial provider of news, much less one deserving of government support, no doubt.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Look around you. Who, who else is using the term latinx but you, you weirdos? Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

[Unnamed Contributor]

I'll leave you with a quote. That's not inspiring.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's not fair.

[Unnamed Contributor]

It seems irresponsible.

[Unnamed Advertiser]

It's cone.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, it's not a victory.

[Unnamed Contributor]

It's a surrender.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's, it's, it's so childish. It's so juvenile.

[Unnamed Contributor]

Yeah, operating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. This is great. And now, bye. Have a great Friday, you mother.
