Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Enjoy the super bowl while you can because it's probably one of the last ones to be shown on broadcast tv, which is a shame because streaming is ruining football and that's Taylor Swift's job.
Joe Getty
So I hadn't heard that. Is this. Are we at the end of broadcast TVs contracts for the Super Bowl? In which case a Jeff Bezos with Amazon, for instance, somebody who could throw a tremendous amount of money at the contract. I mean, I, I could see him making the calculation that that's a win. The number of people he would get signed up for Prime.
Jack Armstrong
I have heard nothing about this, but it wouldn't shock me. No, it'd be an enormous cost. But like you say, Bezos could handle it.
Joe Getty
When you'd bring up. You'd get a lot of. You'd probably get a lot of people signed up.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Getty
You also make a lot of people really angry.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. A lot of the games are going to streaming services. Netflix, Peacock, Amazon, all have games now.
Joe Getty
Well, and my introduction to streaming sports was the Tyson fight. That didn't work. You couldn't freaking watch it.
Jack Armstrong
Crack down your favorite team every week. Oh, it's on the NFL Network. No, as Michael said. No, it's on Netflix. It's Amazon. Amazon prime today or whatever. Yeah. I don't be careful, NFL, but you got juggernaut of a product.
Joe Getty
I would be too. You. You, as we've all seen with lots of things, see the Oscars telecast, there is a limit with a variety of things to where people just say, nah. Nothing's quite as big as the NFL, though. It seems to have amazing resiliency in terms of being the thing that people want for whatever reason.
Jack Armstrong
Right. And the core product is so what people want. They can really make bad moves around the edges and, and people talk about it and then grumble about it and the rest. But the core product is so good that people just keep coming back. It's like, you know, I was, I was as pissed off and disappointed and off put by the NFL as I think is possible during the whole Black Lives Matter. Everything's political, kneeling on the sideline stuff. I stopped watching for about a season, but then I came back.
Joe Getty
Yes, Katie.
Katie Green
I just had a conversation with a football fan that said the streaming thing has made it really difficult to be able to flip back and forth, but between games.
Joe Getty
Right.
Katie Green
Because you have to go to the home screen and then you got to go. And so that. That's been a big like about it.
Joe Getty
Yep, that's true. Because, yeah, you do that. Like yesterday would have been a game where I'm going over to the. The other game on the other channel because this one's a blowout and I'll check back in on it. But yeah, if it's on some streaming service, it's just too cumbersome. I would have not predicted the NFL was going to come back like this. I thought it was over the combination of, like, my kids don't care about the NFL and like, their friends don't. And I thought so the combination between the younger generation, all the entertainment choices in the world, and then what pushed it over the edge was the kneeling for the, you know, the, the anthem and all that different sort of stuff. I thought it would never come back, but it has. Definitely has. Remember when it dropped like 10%? 10%, 10%. I mean, there was a couple of years there where it was, it looked like it was going the way of. Because when I grew up, we've said this a million times. When we grew up, heavyweight boxing title was the biggest thing in the world. Nobody cares about that anymore. Things can go away very easily.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So on a completely different topic, the. Have you run in any fishing tests at your company these emails that give you a plausible reason to click on a link, and when you click on it, it says, you should not have clicked on this link. This is a security breach. We remind you of your HR and security computer protocols. Now you have to do this training again.
Joe Getty
So this is a thing. Remember, that's how Hillary Clinton got her computer system hacked into and the Russians had her emails. Was somebody that worked in our office clicked on a phishing link, but you're saying they're sending out your own company sending them to you to test you?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, exactly. Huh? Yeah. It's a big thing. And they're getting more and more insidious. This is a very targeted joke for certain music freak friends of mine. Phishing is spelled with a ph because Trey Anastasio invented it. Now back to the show. Yes.
Joe Getty
Here's good news for the company I work for. I, I don't open any of the company emails. So there you go. Any of them.
Jack Armstrong
So, yeah, don't get me started.
Joe Getty
I'm in the clear.
Jack Armstrong
So they, they start with this gal who is a. What is she, like a lab tech or something At University of California, Santa Cruz. She studies infectious diseases. And about a month before the start of classes, she got an email saying there was an Ebola outbreak. And she thought, oh, my God. So she texted a friend to see if they'd heard anything. Then she clicked on the link. That's when she learned that Ebola wasn't the problem. She was. The email was a phishing test. It was a ruse crafted by the university's Information technology department to teach gullible workers about the dangers lurking in scam emails.
Joe Getty
And I've clicked on some emails before, and not work stuff, because, like I said, I really honestly don't click on work emails, but, like, stuff in my own personal life. You catch. You catch you at the right time. Like, you're busy, you're doing a bunch of other stuff, and it's something that, like, tickles your fear or. Oh, oh, no thing. And I. I've. I have before. Not for a long time. I got caught by ebay one time with some sort of. I was buying something or something like that. I got a fake ebay. It looked. Look exactly like a real ebay, and it was. Your bid didn't go through or something like that? Oh, no, what's that? I click on it.
Jack Armstrong
Ah, no, no.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it was disaster, actually. It wasn't. Everything was fine. But it's. It's hard to be vigilant on that. And it's a pain in the ass if you get an email that says your credit card just got rejected. Okay, so now I gotta go to the credit card app and log into that and try to.
Jack Armstrong
Or did you just make three charges in Terre Haute, Indiana?
Joe Getty
Right, exactly. Yeah. Did somebody steal your card? Okay, so I got to go to my credit card app, go in there, try to find it. If I can't find it, maybe call their 1-800-number. That's a pain in the ass.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So I would have gotten this question wrong. Phishing was the first step in how many cyber attacks in 2024. What percentage?
Joe Getty
No idea.
Jack Armstrong
I would have guessed 50, 60. It's only 14%.
Joe Getty
So that's not the most common way.
Jack Armstrong
No, according to analysis, data breaches done by Verizon. But in spite of that, the drills are making workplaces extra testy. IT departments love this. Employees say they. So chaos, confusion, and shame. Maybe you don't deserve a little shame. Uh, let's see. On Reddit, stories abound of employees panicking or becoming enraged after phishing tests. Uh, let's see a one Reddit poster.
Joe Getty
Reddit rage is constant about everything.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. One guy said he sent all employees a notice that said your, your passwords had been changed and to click here to fix it or reset your password.
Joe Getty
I might fall for that. In fact, I probably would.
Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah, that sounds like it's so mundane, but I was a fishing test Jack. Matt Linton once made a NASA staffer cry with a phishing test that promised employees a chance to win a trip to Kennedy Space center to view the final launch of the space shuttle. Now everyone hates me.
Joe Getty
He said after the test, I mean, if you click on some chick with us, well, that's not a chick. It's. But what seems like a chick with a stripper name who all of a sudden wants to have sex with you. You don't remember meeting you click on that. You deserve everything you get. But something from your work saying you need to update your password, I, I could see falling for that.
Jack Armstrong
So they talked to this other computer safety expert who said his most successful phishing test, and this is probably because the people involved are functionally illiterate. It was a fake email offering free Philadelphia Eagles tickets. Michael, do we have that clip handy? That was a 4% click through rate, so that's not many. But Eagles fans, I mean, they can't spell their names.
Joe Getty
So 1 out of 25 click through on that. That seems pretty, pretty successful.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. I mean, when you're sending out millions of them, you get. Well, listen, we've got to do this. Let me hear you all say E L G S E S. Eagles.
Joe Getty
Did anybody eat any horse poop last night? Remember the first time the Eagles won the Super Bowl? Somebody out on the street ate some horse dung and it became a show.
Jack Armstrong
Of love and dedication to show how.
Joe Getty
Much of an Eagles fan they were. I'm dedicated to my team. I care about my team. That's why I'm going to ingest the X Men of this horse.
Jack Armstrong
I think I've made my point.
Joe Getty
I think you understand.
Jack Armstrong
So coming up a little bit later on this hour, Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave a speech the other day. If you're a soup, they invite you to make speeches all over the place. She talked about how the court would be more highly regarded if it wasn't so quick to overturn precedent. She's completely wrong, dishonest, I don't know anything. Actual statistics. Coming up. Stay tuned.
Joe Getty
And a bunch of other stuff. Oh, I need to get to the text line. Anything about yesterday, Your own Super bowl party, the broadcast, the game, the politics, anything you loved or didn't love. Text line is 415295KFTC.
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty.
Joe Getty
We didn't get some good texts about the Super Bowl. We'll get to those next segment. Variety of things, people. The broadcast, the game, the commercials.
Jack Armstrong
Excellent. Snap decision. Was going to do something else, but I'd rather do this. First of all, I was just flipping through Twitter, or do you call it X? And you know what seems to be trending big time is defund the UN Fine. Wait a minute. You talk about a gigantic bloated program where the money goes to nobody's sure, and most of it's spent on administration. And the whole point of the thing has kind of gotten perverted.
Joe Getty
And we are by far the biggest financial supporter of that organization. Like most international organizations.
Jack Armstrong
Speaking of perverted, this is a Democrat from Washington state, name of Jamie Pederson. Ped. As in pedophile. Listen to what he has to say. Kids over 13 have the complete right to make their own decisions about their mental health care. Parents don't have a right to have notice. They don't have a right to have consent about that. Kids over 13 have the right to, with the help of activist teachers he leaves unsaid, make their own mental health care decisions. And parents have no right to notification and no right to approval.
Joe Getty
And what's his position?
Jack Armstrong
He is in the state legislature.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
And is trying to get that passed as a law.
Joe Getty
God, that's a crazy idea.
Jack Armstrong
That is so troubling. So troubling.
Joe Getty
Does he have kids? I bet not.
Jack Armstrong
I bet not. Yeah. I. You know what? Yeah. Groomers, these people, whether they're grooming the kids for sexual exploitation or political exploitation, they're unquestionably grooming kids. You. You tell me another topic in which an adult says to your kid and don't tell your parents about it. Well, that's wholesome. Or. Or even just not horrifying.
Joe Getty
Our friend Tim Sandifer always has that quote which I had wish I had memorized going back to the Wilson administration about the goal of making children as least like their parents as possible was the whole philosophy to remaking America. So that. That's a lot of it. They just. They should. They want to be kids and parents to be separate because they don't want you to learn the things you learn from your parents, like being independent of the state or, you know, personal freedom is what. No, Listening to the government is what's important.
Jack Armstrong
Right, Right. Exactly.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God. The idea of forcibly getting between parents and their children so you can twist their minds makes me so and 30 angry.
Joe Getty
It's pretty young.
Jack Armstrong
Here's a little gal in Bakersfield, California. You cut down an American flag and put up a Mexican flag instead, and she's arrested for it. You're not gonna tell me what to do. This is Mexican. Look at that flag. Because that flag isn't on the floor. Is it? Is it? Hey, you can't say I'm disinfecting. No.
Joe Getty
Come here.
Jack Armstrong
Okay. My people kill you. I'm going to pee. Then you're hurting me, and you're gonna regret it when you.
Joe Getty
Okay.
Jack Armstrong
Touch me. When your kids die. When your kids die. You're squeezing my hand and they already know. All right. Did anybody hear that and think, you know, we should slow down these deportations? I didn't think so. Thanks for doing our job for us, sweetheart. And then finally, this. Unless you have another comment on that.
Joe Getty
Jack, as we mentioned earlier, the CBS poll, they put out yesterday. Yesterday, 60% of Americans are in favor of Trump's current deportation plan.
Jack Armstrong
Yep. Huge majorities. And, Whoops, just added 3 more percent who heard that tape. And then. This is Maxine Waters. Old Maxine, as I tweeted with this video on Friday, I think it was. I guess the profoundly stupid deserve representation in Congress, too. And they're sure getting it from old Maxine. Let's hear. Come on. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Michael, can you stop it? This is outside the Department of Education, where she and other grandstanding Congress morons were trying to force their way inside to make some sort of point, and the security guard was having none of it. Come on. Hold your face up. Look at him. Let him see you. This is him. Look at him.
Joe Getty
What's your name?
Jack Armstrong
Tell us your name. Give me that ID again. Showed you the id. I showed it to you. Say what?
Joe Getty
I showed you the id.
Jack Armstrong
You do what? I showed you the id. Could you let me see the ID again? Huh?
Joe Getty
No.
Jack Armstrong
No. Will someone else ask him for the id? Will you ask him for it? He won't let me see it again. You didn't see it. They didn't see it.
Joe Getty
You know what I want? I gotta tell my kids this. When I reach the age. At a certain age, this happens to everybody. And I want my kids to say, you're at the age now that if you're really worked up about something, it's almost certainly a misunderstanding on your end. I want my kids to tell me, when you're really mad about something, it's almost certainly something you've misunderstood.
Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah, that would.
Joe Getty
That would be mad at the other person.
Jack Armstrong
That shoe would fit better if you had made, you know, your life, your. Your reputation. That of being a grandstanding idiot. Yeah, like Maxine Waters. Oh, goodness sake.
Joe Getty
You.
Jack Armstrong
What?
Joe Getty
What. What's that?
Jack Armstrong
You need the what? The what id. All right. And I could go into detail on this, and I would enjoy it, but Sonia Sotomayor did a speech the other day in which she said. What's the quote? I think my court would probably gather more public support if it went a little more slowly in undoing precedent. The public doesn't like it when justices move too quickly in upheavals. Well, the Roberts court has overturned precedent at a far lower rate than virtually every court in the last hundred years. They're very respectful of precedent.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I think she's right. And the court is currently doing what she likes, so. That's interesting.
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty, and we'll call this a pigskin. Make people crave bacon. And everybody loves bacon. I love bacon.
Joe Getty
Bacon, bacon.
Jack Armstrong
Ever ask yourself how Buffalo got a team? These wings deserve a team. Yeah, I figured out a good team name for Buffalo Bill. Buffalo. Buffalo. They do anything to sell food.
Joe Getty
Do I have to be called refrigerator?
Jack Armstrong
Yes. Even Peyton was in on it. Omaha Steak. Omaha Steak. And they're still at it.
Joe Getty
This year.
Jack Armstrong
We got a halftime show presented by.
Katie Green
An apple in a stadium named after a stallion.
Joe Getty
A stallion. There you go. So there's an ad for what? Doordash, I guess. Is that what they had was Uber Eats. Uber Eats.
Jack Armstrong
Uber Eats.
Joe Getty
Sorry, I got a mixed up.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, they're competitor. Oh, no.
Joe Getty
Oh, I've done so much damage with Matthew McConaughey. So we got a whole bunch of super bowl texts here, including this one. It's kind of interesting. The most text we got about is this whole to be thing, which I'm not sure I'd ever heard the word before yesterday, but it's a free stream, free streaming service. We all have. I already have it. They. Everybody's telling me, you've already got it, Jack. And you can watch the super bowl for free if you've got it, whether you've got anything else, so. Okay, I'll take your word for it. We got this text, which I thought was interesting. Couple of things I didn't notice about the halftime show with Kendrick Lamar. I did mention earlier that this one cute black chick was dancing really cool during her. During the song. I just noticed because she was a really good dancer. Then found out later that was Serena Williams doing that. She was there dancing, which will be explained in this text, NFL's mixed message brought bothered me. The most critical point missed about the Super Bowl. Throughout the entire super bowl, you're being preached to against hate. Signs on the field, helmets, commercials about love for others that are different, unity with people of all races, empathy for people going through hardships, and the Snoop Dogg Tom Brady commercial against hate. Yet the entire halftime show was about Kendrick Lamar's hate for fellow rapper Drake, which included, and I didn't know this. Drake's ex girlfriend, Serena Williams. He had Serena Williams out on the field dancing because that's Drake's ex girlfriend. I didn't know that.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my gosh. Wow. I was reading an account of how Samuel L. Jackson was lecturing him and he would respond with his dancers, and I just.
Joe Getty
I just thought, what a troll, though. That's a cool troll. I think that's hilarious. Yeah. Your girlfriend's at the super bowl halftime dancing for me now, so whatever.
Jack Armstrong
Put a 50 tariff on Drake. That's what I say. The threat from Canada.
Joe Getty
Yes, Katie.
Katie Green
Well, and that. That beef is going thick because he. He called him a pedophile on stage during the. During the show.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, he did.
Joe Getty
I didn't catch that. I couldn't understand any of the words, but some of the words were. And Drake's a pedophile based.
Katie Green
Yeah. I can't say it the way that he says it because, you know, we'll lose our jobs.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
I have read some about this. That this is not like, kind of like Elon and Zuckerberg's kind of for fun. No. This is two people that really, really hate each other.
Katie Green
Yeah. It's a big beef.
Joe Getty
So Serena must not like him anymore either.
Jack Armstrong
To.
Joe Getty
To play along, I guess. More text.
Jack Armstrong
There were. There were more than one person at the party I was at, and I didn't approve of this at all. It said, as long as we're having rappers, let's have a P. Diddy do a freak off for the halftime show next year.
Joe Getty
I wouldn't watch the whole thing, but I'd probably watch enough to get the.
Jack Armstrong
Gist bottle of baby oil under every seat. Huh? I'd tell the kids to leave the room.
Joe Getty
Yeah, exactly. Which fits into some of the texts we got about the Super Bowl. Here we go. First one. Don't get me wrong, I love women. But the women that. The broadcast yesterday, and I know this was the first thing I noticed when I flipped on the tv. They looked like hookers with those very, very short skirts and super high heels. I flipped on the game and, you know now you have to have a full body shot of everybody for everything. I don't know why, but that woman.
Jack Armstrong
On there is like, what? Well, wait, are we talking sideline commentator? Yeah, the.
Joe Getty
The hot blonde who's interviewing, you know, Terry Bradshaw about, you know, who do you think's gonna have a better running game?
Jack Armstrong
It's like, what?
Joe Getty
I mean, I understand stand a short.
Jack Armstrong
Skirt, but that is like, it's obligatory now. There's got to be a hottie.
Joe Getty
If she turned around, I would see her ass. Though there's no way that was covering her ass. It was barely covering her from the front. Her, you know. Yoo hoo.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, well. Shocking. Horrifying.
Joe Getty
Add me to the number of people who made themselves miserable eating too much of Michelangelo's cheese dip yesterday. I did. I ate way too much. It was very good, but I ate too much. More and more texts about how to be is free and you already get it. Oh, I was talking about how my town, I feel like this university town, they really get a kick out of, like, really being out and about on super bowl afternoon to show that we're not the kind of people that do that because somebody texted. I was once on a completely vacant i80 a few Super Bowls ago, I thought the Rapture had happened and I was left behind. Years ago, the Chiefs lost. It was the season they went 13 and three with Steve Bono as their quarterback. And then they lost their first game in the playoffs. And I was so mad. I didn't watch any more football and I didn't watch the Super Bowl. It's the only year I haven't watched the super bowl in my life. And I went on a long drive and I was out on the interstate. This was in North Carolina. It was like the Rapture. There wasn't a car anywhere.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Getty
We'Re talking about the booby ad. Non stop boobs until they tell you at the end it's for breast cancer. I was at a Chinese Christian super bowl party when the breast cancer commercial came on and there was a lot of breasts being shown. There was a mad scramble for the remote until the end when it was identified as a breast cancer commercial. And all the doctors at the party who moments before were trying to turn it off, were now extolling the importance of mammograms, which I kind of funny.
Jack Armstrong
What a funny scene.
Joe Getty
Followed by this text. I'd love to see them make the same ad for testicular cancer. That's kind of.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Yeah.
Joe Getty
Okay. So Joe, in a very cruel fashion, mocked. I believe he Used the word simpletons to describe the people who liked the Budweiser commercial with the little horse. I didn't agree with him, of course, but he used some prejudicial language about the sort of people who liked the Budweiser commercial, which ranked as the number one commercial in America according to ad meter. Anyway, we got the little horse, saw.
Jack Armstrong
The keg fall off the wagon, and he pushed the keg all the way across the landscape, all the way to the bar. Because little horses are cute.
Joe Getty
We got a text standing up for the people who love that ad. I assume you're a sophomore in high school, girl. Anyway, the point of the little horse in the Budweiser commercial was that he was too young and too little to be part of the team. But so pushing the keg all the way, he was trying to prove that he was big enough and useful and it was adorable. So there you go, Trey Adorbs.
Jack Armstrong
You got a little horse. That's all I need.
Joe Getty
What. What commercial is the most disturbing? I was voting for the fleshy cowboy hat, which I just.
Jack Armstrong
I didn't want to think about it. Please. Seal as a seal. Thought that other one was off putting.
Joe Getty
I'd forgotten about this one. The disconnected disco tongue commercial made our entire party gag and yell.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah, that one was ranked like number 56. It was terrible. Oh my God, that was the coffee mate, like spray cream one.
Joe Getty
Henry and I both went. I mean, a couple of the shapes that tongue made were highly disturbing. Dancing tongue was the most disturbing visual to me. I agree. Somebody else who really liked the Doritos UFO ad. I. I did like the UFO beating the hell out of that.
Jack Armstrong
That was funny.
Joe Getty
Smashing him against the wall.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So listen, I. Granted, I'm old and bitter. It's fine. Freely confessed. But Budweiser and their ad agency trots out, no pun intended, a new cute little Clydesdale overcomes something and proves its worth ad year after year after year. And it's just, it's. It's just darling emotional manipulation for. I almost said it again. Look, it's a fine American style pilsner beer. I've drunk them to excess. It's a fine beer. I like it. But what's it got to do with little Clydesdale? Stop with that. What happened to me, it could be anything, right? Go with golden retrievers for a couple of years or, I don't know, ducklings. So you had these horses pull your wagons back in the day maybe once and now it's all for show. I just. It's just it's again, it's just manipulative. It has nothing to do with your product.
Joe Getty
You also didn't like the little girl on the potato, which another person liked the Adolet.
Jack Armstrong
It was cute, all right? It was really cute.
Katie Green
I feel like a Clyde.
Jack Armstrong
She was raising a damn potato for laced potato chips. Katie.
Katie Green
I feel like a Clydesdale is a symbol of, like, patriotism, and you just hate it.
Jack Armstrong
What?
Katie Green
It's like a good American horse.
Jack Armstrong
I'm not anti Clydesdale. You're missing the point. If there was an ad for, I don't know, what do I like? I'm wearing On Cloud running shoes. Okay? Right. Now, if On Cloud had a big super bowl ad with a mother painfully giving birth and then holding her baby in her arms and feeling the love that is can only be between a mother and a baby On Cloud running shoes, that would have as much to do with the freaking little horse as the beard does, if. You know that. Right?
Joe Getty
Yeah, I agree. At some point. It is just that. It is just that, Right? Just somebody nuzzling a puppy. Nuzzling. Look at this puppy. Hold the puppy up. Cute little nuzzle puppy. Kmart.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Okay. What's the connection again?
Jack Armstrong
My capacity for joy has died. Pity me. It's. It's fine. Don't hate me. Pity me.
Joe Getty
What happened to the ads of the 90s? I'm Bob Dole and I can't get an erection. Those were good ads.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
Old politicians with erectile dysfunction, huh?
Jack Armstrong
I don't think he was in every ad. Just the one.
Joe Getty
Jeez. I'll tell you who was in every ad. Gronk. There's got to be. It's like you learn In E. Economics 101, the diminishing returns thing.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Joe Getty
Like, you know, the enjoyment you get out of one ice cream cone, but the second ice cream cone, not so much. And by the time you get to the fifth, you hate them. It doesn't Gronk have that problem? And if I'm signing him up to. Do you know, if we bought him for an Armstrong and Getty commercial and I found out, oh, you're gonna be on 50 other ads. I don't think we're gonna get any mileage out of having Gronk and our Armstrong and Getty ad, I just think.
Jack Armstrong
He has a good agent who said, look, we're not doing exclusives right now. But there's. There's nothing else in the wind that we're aware of.
Joe Getty
Right. You're in every single ad.
Jack Armstrong
Because he realizes this big lunkhead's appeal is only gonna last a couple of more years.
Joe Getty
Let's just cash in the big lunkhead. We will finish strong. Next Armstrong and Getty and officials in Fort Lauderdale are keeping a close eye on the city's coastline this weekend. Beaches were closed for a time after balls of tar were spotted on the shoreline. Swimmers were told to stay away.
Jack Armstrong
Other beaches in the air also reported.
Joe Getty
Seeing the oily substances. The Coast Guard is now investigating. You don't like balls of tar on your beach, all right? You're picky. So Kanye the musician went nutso on Twitter over the weekend, posted a slew. I'm reading now from a publication. They're all publications. Anything. A slew of anti Semitic and misogynist content also targeted ill children as part of several posts claiming that he only interacts with people are useful to him, and that he has no respect or empathy for others. For instance, this tweet, I turned down three photos this week with Make a Wish kids in wheelchairs. Just out of nowhere, he tweets, wow.
Jack Armstrong
I've got the what the hell look on my face. I just. I don't know what to make of that.
Joe Getty
A lot. Nobody's sure what was going on there. Alongside his post about the Make a Wish children, Kanye also shared his support for P. Diddy.
Jack Armstrong
Boy.
Katie Green
He'S manic.
Joe Getty
He is. That's what he's doing.
Jack Armstrong
And psycho. Yeah.
Joe Getty
Then he went to Instagram where he shared a video of himself FaceTiming P. Diddy's son and how he's down with P. Diddy and something or other. Then lots of stuff about the Jews that he's always into. And what's the latest there, Katie?
Katie Green
So he had an advertisement during the super bowl, but it was only in the Los Angeles market. And he's in a dentist chair, clearly somewhat high, and he's talking about, I spent all my money on a commercial in these new teeth, so I had to shoot it on an iPhone. Go to yeezy.com. well, you go to yeezy.com. the only thing on that website is a T shirt with a swastika on it.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, boy.
Katie Green
That's it.
Jack Armstrong
Now the being down with Diddy thing I get. He just trotted his poor prisoner wife out naked for the Grammys. So he's obviously down with the porn and sexual exploitation. But Der Fuhrer as well. What's going on?
Joe Getty
If you've ever dealt with children, I guess it doesn't have to be children. I've known some immature adults go on this sort of Thing where you go on some sort of rant where you're, like, trying to be hated. It's some sort of you're feeling bad about yourself. Like you feel like you're a piece of crap, and you're, like, going out of your way to make them tell you your piece of crap or something. You know what I'm talking about?
Katie Green
Like, it's like rage bait.
Joe Getty
I've never done it. I've seen people do it, and it's kind of sad. Like, it's. It's confusing at first, and then you realize, okay, they're really in a bad place right now, and they're, like, going out of their way to be awful to get attention. Wow, I've seen this trouble, and I think that's what Kanye's doing. And he's open about the fact that he's mentally ill.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
He's bipolar and everything like that. For instance, this tweet. Any Jewish person that does business with me needs to know that I do not like or trust any Jewish person. And this is completely sober with no Hennessy. I'm never apologizing for my Jewish comments. Just lots of. I don't like Jewish people. I'm going to normalize. Talking about Hitler, he wrote a minute later, Hitler was so fresh.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Just that. That's. That's a guy who has fallen apart.
Joe Getty
Yeah. If I lost everything again tonight, it was worth it. I can die after this. I tour for the money. I'd rather be playing than. Which was made by Jewish people. Something or other.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. The particulars, to me, I. I don't have outrage for that. He's obviously lost his mind.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah, he's. He's a seriously mentally ill dude.
Jack Armstrong
It's not like he was ranting about cute little horses and saying it was stupid. That would not be forgivable. It's final thoughts. I'm strong again. It's final thoughts. It's final thoughts. I'm strong to get it. Get ready with Katie Green and Michael Angelo. It's final thought.
Joe Getty
Ask Kendrick Lamar there. Here's your host for final Thoughts, Joe Getty.
Jack Armstrong
Hey. Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. There he is, Michelangelo, in the control room, pressing the buttons. Michael, final thought. You know why? I'm glad everybody enjoyed my cheese dip. I'm disturbed by how many people made them sick. Made themselves sick with this.
Joe Getty
Well, you can't control the amount people eat. You've got to. You know, you got to trust adults. Maybe you should say you should have on your there. You know, only using a closed track course or something like that. I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
Maximum dosage warning. Maybe add prune juice to the recipe. Katie Greener, esteemed newswoman has a final thought.
Katie Green
Katie, this is actually really good conversation because I have people on Twitter, I tweeted out the the recipe saying I'm already making it for opening day. So this is going to start happening to people more than once a year. So now they have their warning.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Jack, final thought for us.
Joe Getty
Here's. Here's a typical dumb Jack thing to do. I ordered a pizza six minutes before kickoff. You are not gonna get your pizza very soon if you order it six minutes before kickoff. That is my tip to you. Even though I'm sure you already knew that.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. A bit of a popular idea. My final thought is. Okay, I admit it. I was bitter because the game was terrible. I was rooting for the Chiefs and they were getting more and I know obnoxious Phillies there Eagles fans and I just said I had a stressful day to look forward to today. So I'd like to apologize to the little horse. The little Budweiser horse.
Katie Green
That's big of you.
Jack Armstrong
Your plucky little fellow. Well done, son. Well.
Joe Getty
Oh boy. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Jack Armstrong

Joe Getty

Jack Armstrong

Joe Getty

Jack Armstrong
So everybody chill. Let's go with a bang. I know it's a cute little horse, all right, but that doesn't make it the best dad.
Joe Getty
No, come on.
Jack Armstrong
The hell. They could have that little horse commit a murder and it would be the number one super bowl lad on that high note.
Joe Getty
Bye bye.
Jack Armstrong
