It'S Jay Shetty with On Purpose. My newest episode is out now with Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson
To be open to learning does mean, at least to some degree, always asking what am I doing wrong? What do I have to give up? What do I have to transform? That could be very painful. There isn't anything better that you can do with failure, no matter how unjust. Then to learn from.

Armstrong and Getty and now he's Armstrong and get.
Michael
They are going and then go falls down. But Montgomery is able to pick up the first down. So go falls down as he making the handoff and this should seal it. They'll run the clock down ball Game. The Lions went for it on fourth down and made the fourth down and decided that we're not going to just play for the tie and go into overtime. We're either going to win it or lose it. Here we go. I love it when teams do that. The players were so fired up that the coach made that decision. The two teams that. If you're an NFL fan, how do you not root for? The Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills, that would be a great Super Bowl. They're just fun teams with cool coaches and cool players and their fan base has been awesome. Even though they've sucked my entire life. Well, certainly the fact that one of.
Broadcasting Host
Them has to lose is the only downside. Yeah.
Michael
And I was at the Chiefs game last Friday. My Chiefs fan. But. Because I'm from Kansas. But it's become clear to me that unless you are a Chiefs fan, they are like the Patriots used to be. Everybody hates them. If I mention the Chiefs to anybody, it's like, boo, you suck. So I realize that, but. So last night after the game, Lions win and stay 12 and 1. Two teams that have one loss, and that's Chiefs in the Lions. But anyway, you don't care about that. The coach gives a super fired up speech afterwards in the locker room. Listen to this guy.
I
I told you you'd never forget this game. You will never forget this game. We don't have to talk about how tough we are. We don't have to talk about how resilient we are. We live it, man. We've been living it. Where's our defense at? Offense? That's a way to step up, man. That's a way to step up. There you go, Skip. Keep throwing up. Whatever you're doing up there, you gotta freaking land on the line.
Michael
So the lineman is over in the corner vomiting. Here you go, Skip. Keep throwing up.
Broadcasting Host
Way to puke, buddy. Dan Campbel. Love him.
Michael
We effing live it.
Broadcasting Host
That's great.
Michael
God, the way the team reacted on that fourth down was cool. It's like they were, you know, because fans and announcers.
Broadcasting Host
Oh, yeah.
Michael
I don't know if that was a good idea. Done. Most coaches, when the players were like, let's do it. We're gonna do it. We're gonna win or not.
Broadcasting Host
Yes. I didn't see it. I gotta watch it.
Michael
On the very dang it. Very cool. Keep throwing up, Skip. That's it. Keep vomiting.
Jack Armstrong
Hello.
Chumba Casino
Boy.
Broadcasting Host
I tell you what, when somebody needs.
Michael
To upchuck, Skip steps up. He doesn't look around, he pukes. Let's all puke. Stick your finger in your mouth.
Broadcasting Host
Oh, that's beautiful.
Michael
We have some breaking news court cases.
Broadcasting Host
We have to get a couple of biggies. Yeah, yeah. Number one. Well, in terms of significance, this might be number one. Let's see that. A federal appeals court ruled that TikTok can be banned in the US over national security concerns, upholding a federal law requiring the popular social media app to shed its Chinese ownership to keep operating. That's a three judge panel. U.S. court of Appeals, District of Columbia said Congress has that power to protect US national security interests. The ruling rejected a First Amendment challenge brought by the app and several of its star users. Blah, blah, blah.
Michael
The app, which is run by the Chinese Communist Party for the specific purpose.
Broadcasting Host
Of undermining the United States of America. Well, yeah, guys, but I get restaurant, yo.
Michael
What part did you not hear right?
Broadcasting Host
How about we figure promote my art on. Oh, my God.
Michael
But did you see the blonde college girl sitting in her car yelling about Palestine? Did you see that? That's good stuff. That's. Oh, my God, I can't. It's one of the craziest things we've done in America is let the Chinese Communist Party educate all of our young people on why American country.
Broadcasting Host
Partly. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't remember the particulars, but there's a big pro TikTok guy who's in Trump's inner circle now. So it will be really, really interesting to see how that plays out because Trump famously was the guy, to his eternal credit, who woke the US out of our naive slumber about the Communist Chinese Party and China and what it's trying to do. So the idea that he would hear the case that, well, the commies are using this to undermine your country, sir, and that he'd say, well, that's all right. I don't think that'll happen. So it'll be super interesting to watch a second big time court case. And this is beautiful. A federal judge has rejected Boeing's guilty plea deal on those multiple Boeing 737 Max crashes that happened in the third world. You remember that? At least one, or maybe both in Africa. I don't remember the specifics, but. But the judge rejected the plea deal over the. In part because the deal's diversity, equity and inclusion provision would have subjected an independent monitor of Boeing's operations to DEI requirements. So part of the deal was you've got to have an independent monitor making sure you're really following your own safety rules and rags and that of the federal government, blah, blah, Blah. But by the way, that monitor has to have full DEI programs and has to have quota, quota hiring and has to have sensitivity workshops and has to tell all the white people they're bad and the rest of it. The DOJ said in the deal it would honor its commitment to diversity and inclusion when selecting a monitor. A provision about which US District Judge Reed O'Connor asked to be briefed by the agency in October. In his ruling, Judge O'Connor cited concerns with the 212021 Biden administration order that would seemingly encourage consideration of race in hiring at federal agencies. Quote, in a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency. No, the judge wrote, and since it's not, the agreement is not in the public interest. Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me, excuse me. Why could we not extrapolate from that ruling in that common sense, a similar modus operandi for everything human beings do where there's anything at stake. Competence, skill, excellence. If you don't think there are enough black people who are like, great engineers, go start a program for little black kids to get involved in engineering. Don't solve it at the back end. Hiring people who are not competent just so you reach a number. That's horrible. And it's un American.
Michael
Couple of things. First, we gotta get the audio from the fiery hearing yesterday with the Secret Service and all that sort of stuff. Kind of interesting. We caught a little bit of it yesterday, so we got to get to that also.
Broadcasting Host
Well, there's been an accusation of big footing, Jack, and we need to get to the bottom of that. It's a term I've just become familiar with.
Michael
And the tick tock ruling you mentioned, I didn't realize this. So the defeat inches the app closer to a US band, which will take effect January 19th unless there's another court ruling at a higher level. That's pretty soon.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I love this. If for no other reason than it really draws people's attention to our relationship with the dirty commies.
Michael
But I got a big question I got to ask. I keep forgetting to ask it. I've been meaning to ask all week. I'll ask it right after this.
Broadcasting Host
Michael, make it so that Mr. Armstrong remembers the big question. Okay. A quick word from her friends at Simplisafe Home security. They are always advancing. I thought SimpleLife was great two years ago. Well, everybody did. But they've made it even better with their active guard outdoor protection. It changes the game by preventing crime before it even happens, somebody's lurking around your house acting suspiciously. The agents and AI see them in real time, talk to them directly, figure out what they're doing. They can set off your spotlights. Call the cops before the break in. Holy cow. And that crazy great monitoring about a bucket day.
Michael
Yeah, it's super simple to understand old school systems. Even Simplisafe, they catch somebody inside your home and then jump on it. Now you catch people before they get in your home with the help of Simplisafe and their active guard outdoor protection. And like Joe said, it's about a dollar a day and they've extended the Black Friday offer.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah, and worth mentioning also that you get that dollar a day if you sign up for five years. Wait, no. There are no long term contracts and no cancellation fees. Simplisafe.com Armstrong get that 50% off any new system with a select professional monitoring plan. Again, that's simplisafe.com Armstrong there's no safe like SimpliSafe.
Michael
So we've talked about the political story now being reported multiple outlets, that the Biden White House is really wrestling with the idea of blanket pardons for people that have never been charged with anything or whatever because of the evil Trump administration's going to go after Adam Schiff and Mark Milley and Liz Cheney and what's the other one? Doesn't matter.
Broadcasting Host
And then Fauci.
Michael
Fauci, right. Oh, geez.
Broadcasting Host
Who is guilty of millions of deaths anyway. Not to get away from the main point.
Michael
Anyway, I've heard a couple of people respond differently than me. And I just, I don't think you, I don't know if you've answered this question specifically. If you were president of the United States, would you let your. Who and your son committed crimes like Hunter Biden did? Hunter Biden committed crimes. He pled guilty to, crimes he signed. He made a deal. He wrote about it in his book. He's as guilty as guilty can be over a couple of things. Would you let your kid go to jail for not that long probably to serve out the sentence he agreed to, or would you pardon him? What, what would you do? Joe GETTY.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah, it so depends on the circumstances and his life trajectory. I think I would be at the very least extremely tempted to pardon him for the specific offenses for which he was convicted or commute the sentences or something like that and say, look, I'm a dad. He straightened himself out. I love him. I can't leave office. I've got a magic Wand I'm gonna use it. I don't. The answer is I don't know, but I'm not eliminating that. I would never, ever, ever, ever issue a blanket pardon for anything he might conceivably have done during an 11 year period. I find that obscene.
Michael
Yeah, I guess the argument would be you, you think the Trump administration is evil and into law fair and they're going to ruin him financially and be nitpicking at him for years to come and.
Broadcasting Host
But yeah, I get that. I, you know, at the risk of repeating my screed of earlier, but to put. To give a license for lawlessness over a long period of time to any human being is utterly un American. It's unthinkable.
Michael
I was surprised. I was listening to a couple of podcasts where several moms and dads said, vice president, I would not pardon my son. He committed those crimes. I'm the President of the United States. I have to set a standard of, you know, you do the crime, you do the time. No one's above the law. It's part. It comes with the territory. Sure, it sucks for my kid and I could get him out, but that's the more important thing as a country. You took the oath of office, you're President of the damn United States. You, you know, the buck stops here.
Broadcasting Host
Show it.
Michael
Yeah, I get that argument. It gets me kind of fired up. Except for if I was actually sitting there on January 19th and my son was about to go to prison.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. As a conservative talk show host, saying that boldly and confidently is a better move on the air or on a podcast, maybe. You believe it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not claiming that that's the only reason somebody would say that. I get it in principle. But if I think about my own kid having screwed up and I'm leaving office, I've got to admit, I would at least think about it. But I would. And listen, I, If I perceived that there was some sort of injustice at work, I would, not only for political cover, but because it's morally right, I would say. And therefore I am advocating the passage of the justice for the Unjustly Convicted act or a program to help people in a similar spot or something like that. Just to single out my son and say, no, he gets a get out of jail free pass. The rest of you scumbags don't. That's just, that's terrible.
Michael
Quite the heated argument in Congress yesterday with a Republican congressman yelling at a Secret Service dude got hot. You play that for you, among other things on the way.
Jack Armstrong
Stay here, Armstrong and Getty. All right, we're all set for the party. I've trimmed the tree, hung the mistletoe, and paired all those weird shaped knives and forks with the appropriate cheeses. And I plugged in the Bartesian.
Joe Getty
Bartesian.

Michael
Psychologist turned culture warrior, Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson
The men who prefer short term mating opportunities are psychopathic, narcissistic, acuvalian and sadistic. So one of the unintended consequences of the sexual revolution is that the freed up women have been delivered to the psychopathic men. Most people who have post traumatic stress disorder don't have it because they were hurt. They have it because they encountered someone who wanted to hurt them.

We caught the tail end of this yesterday while we were on the air. It had just happened. They're having a grilling in Congress about the assassination. Near successes with Donald Trump and grilling Secret Service people and trying to figure out how to make it better. Although most hearings aren't about making things better. They're about getting on TV and your district.
Broadcasting Host
They were not grill. Grilling, Jack. They were not chilling during the grilling. They were not. There was more yelling than when Janet walked it. It was a lot of people bellowing at each other.
Michael
So this is a Texas, Texas, Texas Republican congressperson ripping into a Secret Service.
Broadcasting Host
The acting head of the Secret Service.
Michael
Yeah. Representative there at the hearing. And here's how it sounded.
J
Special agent in charge of the detail. Were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day? Actually, let me address this. Could you please Staff leave that. Oh, no, leave that one up with the circle around me. Thank you. So actually, Congressman, what you're not seeing is the sack of the detail off out of the pictures view. And that is the day where we remember the more than 3,000 people that have died. On 911 I actually responded to ground zero. I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center. I was there at Fresh Kills.
Michael
I'm not asking you that. I'm asking you.
J
Congresswoman the state. We're not special agent charge to show respect. We're not for a Secret Service member that died on 9 11. You're trying to be. Do not invoke 911 for political purposes. Oh, I'm not.
Michael
I'm invoking this.
J
You are, sir. You are like to ask him a question.
Broadcasting Host
Please.
J
You are.
Michael
Order me. Don't bully me.
Broadcasting Host
Order.
J
I'm elected member of Congress and I'm asking you a serious question. And you were. I am a public servant who has served this nation and you won't answer questions on our day, on our country's darkest day. Committee will come to order. Criticize it. Committee will come to order. Asking you serious questions for the American people. And they're very simple. They're not true questions. Were you the special agent in charge of that? No, I wasn't. I was there representing the United States Secret Service, sir. Mr. Palin, your Times not affect protective operations because you wanted to be visible. Because you are listening for this agency. You endangered president Vice president out of his life because you are put. You put those Agents out of position, Mr. Weapon, sir. And you are out of line.
Michael
That's pretty jazzy.
Broadcasting Host
Good Lord.
Michael
That'S pretty jazzy. How did they end up arguing about 911 over whether or not Trump got his head blown off?
Broadcasting Host
And this is why I'm just not that into this. Although it was a fine example of two men bellowing at each other.
Michael
It was a very good example of.
Broadcasting Host
That, if you're a fan of the genre. The congressman was accusing Ronald Rowe, who was the acting head of the Social Security, of Bigfoot Service. Secret Service, Yeah. I'm sorry. Secret Service. The other ss. Well, the other. Other ss, anyway, of big footing, which is a term only people in Washington, D.C. use of getting his way into the picture with the really powerful people for political purposes. He's auditioning for the permanent job as head of the Secret Service. And that somehow him forcing his way into that small group by the president decreased the security around the President because maybe he took the place of an actual working Secret Service agent because he really wanted to be in the picture. And the other guy and the Secret Service guy. And if I'm wrong on this, I'm wrong and I'll admit it. My sympathies lie with him. He's saying, no, I was there representing the Secret service at the 911 memorial because a bunch of guys died on 9 11. That's why I was there. You were bigfooting. You were auditioning for the job.
Michael
So the congressman's trying to make the argument that you should never rise up or be in charge of the Secret Service because you've already demonstrated that you're more concerned with the politics of things than the protecting, the protect.
Broadcasting Host
Indeed. That was his. Yeah. The greater point.
Michael
She got to scream it. You can't say it.
Broadcasting Host
Well. And this is the new guy who came on after the debacle of the assassination attempt.
Michael
Right.
Broadcasting Host
So I don't know. I just. Again, really good. Grown men bellowing at each other. But in terms of significance, I just don't.
Michael
I don't know if it got us any closer to figuring out how the hell somebody ends up on a roof with a rifle pointed at the president. That closed.
Broadcasting Host
And ironically, everybody was at the hearing says until that moment, it was actually very productive and bipartisan.
Michael
God dang it.
Broadcasting Host
That kind of derailed it. Right.
Michael
And then that's the only thing anybody hears about the hearing.
Broadcasting Host
Correct.
Michael
Oh, we gotta play maybe one of our clips of the year. We haven't played it for a while. We gotta play that. That's coming up Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.

Broadcasting Host
Spotify is releasing its annual wrapped playlists where they recap your streaming habits for the year. And once again, the number one most streamed artist globally was Taylor Swift. That's no surprise. That's no surprise. She's topping every list at this point. She was just named number one kitchen tile installer in the tri state area. Taylor's version.
Michael
Yeah, those. What I would like to know is her being the number one streamer on Spotify, how much money that actually put in her pocket? Because it'd be a shockingly small amount of money.
Broadcasting Host
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You've got to achieve super duper stardom to really make anything.
Michael
Well, I don't know if you can. According to various stars that I like talking about how I had a million plays last month and made a dollar and a half. You know, that sort of thing. It's, it's, it's quite amazing. We do have some breaking news. I. The jury in the trial of Daniel Penny told the judge they could not come to unanimous decision on the top charge of manslaughter. You are you, you're up to date on this? More or less on. Okay, so maybe we'll talk about that in a little bit. I want to get this clip on. Wanted to get it on every hour. I think this should be in the finalists for clip of the year, even though it's not the funny or the kind of stuff we usually do. Just because I think it's important. This is the speaker of the House, third in line to the president yesterday.
Broadcasting Host
Government is too big. It does too many things and it does almost nothing well. And the taxpayers deserve better.
Michael
It's short, it's pithy. But what's the last time you heard somebody at that level say that?
Broadcasting Host
Play it again, Michael. Government is too big. It does too many things and it does almost nothing well. And the taxpayers deserve better. Right? Let's just start from there. You have different priorities than me. Okay, let's talk about it. But let's all never forget what we have just heard because it is undeniable.
Michael
And I know we talked about this yesterday, but the way to sell it to the left is you want your programs for trans bathrooms or the homeless or whatever. This is where you get your money.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah.
Michael
By not wasting it on other crap or duplicate programs or whatever or stuff.
Broadcasting Host
That was started 40 years ago, didn't work as it intended, never has worked, but just keeps growing its budget for some reason. Get rid of that stuff. You got plenty of money.
Michael
A couple other little things before we get to the trial. Josh Crush hour Writing in Axios yesterday, I thought this was interesting. Behind the curtain Biden's haunting twin sins. Joe Biden, age 81, will limp away from the limelight. Widely disliked by the public and now loathed by many Democrats who blame him for the twin sins of selfishness. Running again and then pardoning Hunter after saying he wouldn't.
Broadcasting Host
Right.
Michael
Biden is going to limp away from the White House. Disliked by everyone, including top Democrats. Yipes.
Broadcasting Host
I. I would like to go back to 2019. I guess it would be when it was looking like Joe Biden might be the nominee and we were talking about who he is, his political weakness, his character, his history of lies and exaggerations and the rest of it and how he's always been kind of a mediocrity and a hack and a back slapper. I don't think anything that's happened in the last four to five years has changed. A syllable of that in my head. I might be more adamant about it, but he was what he's always been. He was his the adult in the room, the man of character, the wise elder statesman, the steady hand, the blah blah. That was all invented. He ought to be on that Mount Rushmore. That was just a crazy ass invention.
Michael
My word is a Biden, right?
Broadcasting Host
Your words worth nothing. You lie constantly. You're half a nutcase. Bingo.
Michael
Meanwhile mobster. Meanwhile in the Middle east. Did you see the statue of old man Assad come down in Hama, Syria? That was something. So the current dictator, evil devil human being, Assad, his dad, this is the way it works in dictatorships or kingdom sometimes was also the dictator and a horribly violent man and once went into this village of Hama and slaughtered Most people believe 40,000 people, mostly fighting age males because the city had rose up, risen up against him, slaughtered 40,000 people in like the most brutal Middle Ages sort of way you possibly can. Well enough of the rebels have taken over enough of Syria. Now they went into that very town and took down that guy's statue. Boy, that had to be a feeling for them. Doesn't mean they're going to win the day.
Broadcasting Host
You got to start. Or that they should. It's all about Shiites and Sunnis and Alawites. It's all sectarian divisions and who's going to be in charge and which of the powers. Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, US who backs home.
Michael
So Taylor Lorenz is no longer a columnist for The New York Times or the Washington Post. But she once was for two of the most important newspapers in the world. And the kind of person she is has been laid out in the last several days. She's the one who said raw dogging the air and got all upset about COVID protocols in a weird way. But she's big on the whole CEO of United Healthcare getting gunned down. And she put out a. Wrote a column yesterday, yes, we want insurance executives dead.
Broadcasting Host
Wow.
Michael
She said no, that doesn't mean people should murder them. But if you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal the wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate. Happy to see the CEO of United Healthcare gunned down in the street.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah, yeah. You know, this is. And I wanted to talk about this and I can't believe we've gotten this far without it coming up. The more you dig into, and I haven't read the book, that is the basis or really the reflection of a saying, a slogan that people who look into this study this, fight this, are fully aware of. That's delay, deny, defend. That's the way the health care companies, the insurance companies save money, including in my opinion and those of many others, perfectly legitimate claims. If you have a thousand legitimate claims and you deny, say 500 of them, and then you delay until people get tired or they get other treatment or they pay for it themselves or they forget about, or they die, and then when it goes sideways, you defend those few cases that you will save money even though you have put people through hell trying to get what they have been paying for, that if it results in the death of a loved one, would fill you with murderous rage.
Michael
Most people don't know this. I didn't know this until our friend Craig, the healthcare genius let me know if you let me say this just.
Broadcasting Host
Very briefly, but that doesn't mean you get to murder anybody. You have to find another way.
Michael
That should go without saying, but I'm glad you said it.
Broadcasting Host
Well, it doesn't go without saying. In Taylor Lorenz world, apparently if you.
Michael
Get turned down, if you work for a big company and you get turned down, it wasn't the insurance company that turned you down. It was the company that you work for. The company that you work for, if you work for a big company, is the one that calls the shots. They hide it behind the healthcare company because healthcare companies are giant and impossible to take on and they're used to being hated. Your company doesn't want you to hate them. If you Work for a really big company, but they're the ones that make the decisions. And I didn't know that. And Craig says most people have no idea that that's who they're talking to, their own company that they work for a lot of the times. So I don't know if that's your situation where you are, but it's very possible.
Broadcasting Host
Is a lot of it is self insurance. They use the healthcare provider because they have the mechanism. Process stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Michael
But yeah, the decisions on that stuff is being made by your own company. And so that's a pretty interesting aspect of the whole thing that very few people are aware of.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. And again, you can't murder people. The laws of God and man forbid it. Decency forbids it. But I have a very strong feeling when the facts of this perpetrator situation come out, there is going to be a lot of sympathy. I saw it interestingly on Twitter, which is so interesting. It does all these things at once. It is great source of breaking news. Really interesting perspectives. You get information you never would have found on your own. And it's a cesspool of hate and division and lies. People being sympathetic toward the shooter, saying, good, the guy got what he wanted, was being portrayed as a right versus left thing, which I thought was interesting and I don't think really fits. But our healthcare system, insurance system, everything in the US is so screwed up. It is so monumentally unjust and, and expensive and abusive and stupid. It's, it's. I don't even want to talk about it.
Michael
So I ask you about the Daniel Penny trial right after this and the, the breaking news around that. I know one thing that I'm eating this weekend. I'm grilling up some of those filet mignons with the little bacon around them from Omaha Steaks. Those are some really, really good steaks.
Broadcasting Host

Michael
Maybe we ought to take a break and talk about it when we come back. Joe got fired up during the commercials on some breaking news around the Daniel Penny trial the other day. I haven't been following, but. But it's the guy who, you know, there was a scary, scary guy in the subway and he wrestled the guy to the ground and the guy died. And now he's being charged with, you know, all kinds of horrible crimes and could go to prison. And what's that going to do to decent citizens ever coming to someone's aid all across America if he ends up going to prison?
Broadcasting Host
Right, Right.
Michael
And the breaking news around the jury saying they can't come to a conclusion. So we've got some more on that. Stay here.

My latest episode is with Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson
To be open to learning does mean, at least to some degree, always asking what am I doing wrong? What do I have to give up? What do I have to let go of? What do I have to transform? That could be very painful. There isn't anything better that you can do with failure, no matter how unjust, than to learn from one of the.
Broadcasting Host
Most articulate men of our time, Clinical.
Michael
Psychologist turned culture warrior, Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson
The men who prefer short term mating opportunities are psychopathic, narcissistic, Machiavellian and sadistic. So one of the unintended consequences of the sexual revolution is that that the freed up women have been delivered to the psychopathic men. Most people who have post traumatic stress disorder don't have it because they were hurt. They have it because they encountered someone who wanted to hurt them.

Michael
So I'm out in the sales area the other day here at the radio station and we got on the topic of buying stuff for Christmas and somebody mentioned the Armstrong and Getty store and how are they were going to get a fan of the show. They know an Armstrong and Getty sweatshirt. I think the Adidas sweatshirt is really hot right now, but T shirt or whatever that is a pretty, I mean, you know, you got certain, you got people that you really care about and you, it's very important you get him a good gift. And there's people that you, you know, you just got to get them something. You got to scratch it off the list, you know, you like them enough, whatever.
Broadcasting Host
Maybe Armstrong and Getty Superstore is great for both.
Michael
Perfect for that.
Jordan Peterson
Yes.
Broadcasting Host
Either way, people are digging the classic stupid should hurt. Hot dogs are dogs. Cut the crap flying off the shelves. We got to say that more folks as people confront us in real life or the workplace with this crap that the postmodern lunatics are trying to shove down our throats. Cut that crap.
Michael
So the jury and the Daniel Penny trial came out and said they can't come to an agreement, a unanimous agreement on the biggest charge of manslaughter. You were fired up. I've heard a bunch of people fired up over the prosecution of this thing. What is, what is going on here?
Broadcasting Host
Well, the, it's. First of all, it's Alvin Bragg's super progressive prosecutor's office, and the gal who's heading up the prosecution of this case is a way left wing activist kook. And the fact that this is a white guy who was involved in the death of a black man is like the whole impetus for the case because in. It's just there's not much there at all. The, the decedent, that's the dead guy has dozens of arrests, many of them for assaulting people on subway.
Michael
Oh, my God.
Broadcasting Host
And Daniel Penny says, yeah, I stopped this guy from hurting people. And when I let go, when the cops got there, he was dead. I didn't mean to. I don't know what he died of.
Michael
If you're following this at all. I mean, Penny was laying on his back, holding him like in a headlock, trying to restrain the guy because he was obviously dangerous. And, you know, the difference between straining a guy and them dying would be difficult to tell in the midst of a fight.
Broadcasting Host
Right. So anyway, the, the jury says, no, we can't come to a verdict. So the judge is probably going to give them what's known as the. What's the Allen charge? The Allen order. Allen charge, yes. Urging them to reach a unanimous verdict. It's important. Did you read your verdict? Then they'll go back in the room and say, I still think what I thought before he yelled at us. How about you? Yeah, me too.
Michael
But so were there efforts to make it seem like it was a white guy killing a black guy because he's a racist?
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. There's all sorts of stuff and the family is out there claiming that. And all sorts of black people were on the subway car thanking Daniel Brady for apprehending this guy and helping him, restrain him and the rest of it.
Michael
That it's.
Broadcasting Host
It is a DEI Blacks Lives Matter fake whipping up racial hatred over. Well, in a place where it does not belong.
Michael
That was evident within the first couple of days of this happening. And that's what bothered me so much. I mean, the people in the subway car, including lots of black people, were like, thank God he was there.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. Yeah.
Michael
That's really troubling.
Broadcasting Host
Yeah. The only good news is that it appears that he will not be convicted anytime soon of manslaughter. This. The next charge down is reckless homicide or something like that. Negligent homicide. Yeah. But criminally anyway. I suspect that he. That the jury will remain Hung as opposed to hanged. You can't hang a jury. The jury will remain hung. And the prosecutor's office be being lefty. Radicals may try to try him again. I hope not.
Michael
The New York Times editorial board wrote a piece yesterday, the Daniel Penny Penny trial. Alvin Bragg is a menace to our society and must go. Yeah, well, the people of New York apparently don't feel the same way. Do you remember Susan Smith, the woman who killed her kids? Remember that? I don't want to get into.
Broadcasting Host
Drove him into a lake.
Michael
Yeah, remember that? Ages ago she was denied parole the other day it got a lot of attention. This just came out. Killer mom. Susan Smith was hoping to go on Dancing with the Stars if she was paroled this week and is devastated that it didn't work out.
Broadcasting Host
Wow.
Michael
Well, that would have been something.
Broadcasting Host
Oh, speaking of famous women or infamous, there are developments in the story of the. Excuse me, Hawk. TWA girl.
Michael
See, I still don't know the story. I haven't looked into it. I feel like I don't want to know.
Broadcasting Host
Well, we've. We've talked about.
Michael
But I've never watched the video or I just. I've never.
Broadcasting Host
It won't gratify you in any way.
Michael
That's what I thought.
Broadcasting Host
Don't bother.
Michael
Okay. And I haven't.
Broadcasting Host
But. So this girl is some webcast dude asks her a question about a sex act, and she simulates spitting on a man's anatomy. And it simulates these. The sound of it. And it catches on my son.
Michael
Anyway, my son wanted to dress as her for Halloween because his friends would have thought it was so funny. And I said, yes, they would have.
Broadcasting Host
That's correct.
Michael
And I said, no, you ain't.
Broadcasting Host
All right, let me go through this real quickly because I've got to get to the punchline. So the Internet loves a good meme. And when Haley Welch, better known as the Hock Tua girl, became an overnight sensation, no one could break predict how far her meme would go. But as with many Internet phenomena, the journey from meme to meme coin was both swift and surprising. So her fame began with a simple candid moment on a video which I have described celebrities. Everybody was talking about it, parodying it, laughing about it within moments, as the Internet does. So Haley Welch wasted no time turning her viral fame into a thriving business. She earned an impressive $65,000 through a partnership with a clothing line.
Michael
Did not.
Broadcasting Host
Yes, she did. She also started accepting exclusive party invitations, raking in up to 30,000 per night just to make an appearance at parties.
Michael
Oh, boy. You better go to eight parties that week because this is not going to last long.
Broadcasting Host
She also signed with a music management company.
Michael
See, I can. I. I'm horrified. And understand it at the same time. If I'm a rich guy and this is two days after she's gone viral and I'm having a party on a Friday night, what is more hilarious than, ladies and gentlemen, the hock to a girl.
Broadcasting Host
I have not gotten to the good part. Her rise to Internet fame has brought high profile collaborations, including with Jake Paul, who is promoting her brand to a large audience. He was somewhat involved in crypto. Even Mark Cuban, a big name in the cryptocurrency world, got involved with her Meme Coin project. So she now has a. Like a cryptocurrency now. The hock to a coin, or what's it called? I can't find it here.
Michael
So it's like Trump's shoes. It's a hawk to a coin. That sort of.
Broadcasting Host
Well, she's trying to get a cryptocurrency going.
Michael
Okay, yeah. Oh, my God.
Broadcasting Host
But what happened next was pure chaos. Taking the hype and drama to a new level. The HUAC Meme coin launched and rapidly hit a 500 million million dollar market cap within minutes, only to crash and lose 95% of its value in the next five minutes.
Michael
So the whole thing lasted like seven minutes?
Broadcasting Host
Yes. I hope you didn't lose your family fortune in the Hawk to a Coin. A wise investor. Armstrong and Getty.
Jack Armstrong
All right, we're all set for the party. I've trimmed the tree, hung the mistletoe, and paired all the those weird shaped knives and forks with the appropriate cheeses. And I plugged in the Partisan.
Joe Getty
Partisan.
Jack Armstrong
It's a home cocktail maker that makes over 60 premium cocktails, plus a whole lot of seasonal favorites, too. I just got it for 50 off. So how about a Cosmopolitan or a mistletoe margarita?
Joe Getty
I'm thirsty.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand: "Atta Boy Skip! Keep Vomiting!" Summary
Release Date: December 6, 2024
Host: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty
Podcast: Armstrong & Getty On Demand by iHeartPodcasts
In the episode titled "Atta Boy Skip! Keep Vomiting!", hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty delve into a variety of pressing topics, blending current events with their signature humor and candid discussions. Skipping over advertisements and non-content segments, this summary focuses on the core discussions and insights shared throughout the episode.
Jack and Joe discuss a federal appeals court ruling that upholds a ban on TikTok in the United States due to national security concerns. The court mandated that TikTok must divest from its Chinese ownership to continue operating.
Jack Armstrong (05:00): “A federal appeals court ruled that TikTok can be banned in the US over national security concerns...”
Joe Getty (05:50): “But did you see the blonde college girl sitting in her car yelling about Palestine? That's good stuff.”
The hosts express skepticism about the ruling's implications, referencing former President Trump's stance on the Chinese Communist Party:
The podcast touches on a significant court decision where a federal judge rejected Boeing's guilty plea deal concerning multiple 737 Max crashes in Africa. The rejection was partly due to the deal's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) provisions, which the judge deemed as conflicting with the need for competence-based monitoring.
Jack Armstrong (05:39): “The judge rejected the plea deal over those DEI requirements...”
Joe Getty (05:53): “Why could we not extrapolate from that ruling in that common sense, a similar modus operandi for everything human beings do where there's anything at stake...”
The hosts critique the use of DEI in such legal agreements, emphasizing the importance of competency over quotas.
A heated debate unfolds regarding the morality and implications of presidential pardons, especially in the context of personal relations. The conversation centers around whether a president should pardon their own child, referencing Hunter Biden's legal issues.
Michael (11:18): “If you were president and your son committed crimes like Hunter Biden, would you pardon him?”
Joe Getty (12:30): “I would, at the very least, be tempted to pardon him for the specific offenses...”
Jack Armstrong (14:06): “I'm not eliminating that. I would never issue a blanket pardon...”
The hosts diverge on the ethical boundaries of pardoning family members, highlighting the balance between personal loyalty and public duty.
The speaker of the House is quoted expressing disdain for the size and inefficiency of the government:
Jack and Joe discuss this viewpoint, debating budget priorities and government overreach.
A significant portion of the episode delves into the trial of Daniel Penny, who is charged with manslaughter after intervening in a violent subway altercation that resulted in another man's death.
Michael (40:03): “Daniel Penny was laying on his back, holding him in a headlock, trying to restrain him...”
Host (40:15): “Represents a progressive prosecutor's office...”
The jury's inability to reach a unanimous decision on the manslaughter charge leads to discussions about the implications for community intervention and legal standards.
Michael (41:00): “The jury says, no, we can't come to a verdict...”
Host (41:45): “The family is out there claiming that...”
The hosts critique the prosecution's motives and the potential racial undertones of the case, questioning the broader impact on societal willingness to assist others in distress.
The conversation shifts to media personalities like Taylor Lorenz, formerly of The New York Times and Washington Post, now critiqued for her controversial viewpoints on healthcare.
Michael (30:55): “Taylor Lorenz wrote a column saying...”
Host (31:10): “The more you dig into...fight this study...”
Discussion centers on the flaws within the US healthcare system, insurance practices, and the societal impacts of corporate decisions on individual lives.
The hosts explore the rapid rise and fall of Haley Welch, dubbed the "Hock Toa" girl, who became an overnight meme sensation leading to fleeting success in apparel and cryptocurrency.
Host (45:09): “Her rise to Internet fame brought high profile collaborations...”
Michael (46:41): “You better go to eight parties that week because this is not going to last long.”
The discussion highlights the volatile nature of internet fame and the pitfalls of meme-driven business ventures.
Throughout the episode, clips from Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" featuring Jordan Peterson are played. These segments emphasize personal growth through adversity and critique short-term mating behaviors.
Jordan Peterson (01:36): “To be open to learning does mean... always asking what am I doing wrong?”
Jordan Peterson (17:17): “The men who prefer short term mating opportunities are psychopathic, narcissistic, Machiavellian, and sadistic...”
The hosts briefly reference these clips, integrating Peterson's philosophies into their broader discussions on societal behavior.
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty maintain a lively rapport throughout the episode, often injecting humor into serious discussions. Their playful exchanges, such as mock advertisements for the Bartesian cocktail maker and humorous takes on current events, provide a balanced tone.
Jack Armstrong (15:30): “Armstrong and Getty and now he's Armstrong and get.”
Joe Getty (37:00): “I'm thirsty.”
These light-hearted moments contrast the intensity of political and legal debates, showcasing the hosts' dynamic chemistry.
"Atta Boy Skip! Keep Vomiting!" offers a comprehensive look at contemporary issues, from legal battles and political ethics to social media phenomena and personal development philosophies. Through insightful discussions and engaging banter, Armstrong and Getty provide listeners with a thought-provoking and entertaining episode that navigates the complexities of modern society.
