Episode Flow and Tone

True to Armstrong and Getty’s style, the tone is irreverent, sarcastic, and direct—shifting seamlessly from deep outrage about global human rights to satirical riffs on modern Western culture and media tropes. The show’s structure is driven by news-of-the-day, sharp opinion, and mocking asides, with a throughline of confronting ideological blindspots and absurdities. The interplay between Armstrong and Getty is quick-witted, with room for side commentary from their producer/newswoman, contributing to a lively, sometimes darkly comic atmosphere.

[Jack Armstrong]

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio

[Joe Getty]

Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Yeti. Iran, still under the control of the irgc, now Ayatollah Khamenei son is effectively blocking the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world's oil and gas typically transits. The president posted if Iran does anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than than they have been hit thus far. It's unclear if that's enough to persuade

[Co-host/Guest]

shipping companies to resume travel through the

[Jack Armstrong]

Strait of Hormuz or deter attacks from Iran.

[Co-host/Guest]

So that's obviously a big economic story. There's talk of French ships or US Ships guiding, protecting oil tankers through the Straits of Hormuz, basically daring Iran to attack.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why they send a missile, though I understand we're offering them insurance as well. Look, we'll insure you if you can find a captain and crew. We're like, no.

[Co-host/Guest]

So keeping an eye on that story. So the Iranian soccer team, female soccer team, is getting a lot of attention. And I did a bit of a deeper dive on this. It's pretty compelling. And then I'll get to a very compelling description of what's going to happen to these soccer players. Likely according to a BBC report from someone who's been following Iran and the way they handle these sorts of traitors, using my finger quotes throughout the year. So I'm looking at the picture of the five who've received asylum so far in Australia and they all look to be in their like 20s, early 30s, standing there with the Prime Minister of Australia. And they got their scarves off because they're now get to stay in Australia. They'll probably never go back to Iran, ever, which is a heck of a thing because I assume they have parents and brothers and sisters and maybe boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever, and they're never going to be able to go back.

[Jack Armstrong]

And they'll have to watch their backs, too. I mean, what if the Ayatollah puts a fatwa on them?

[Co-host/Guest]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I read a great piece about what a beginning of an unholy era of Islamism. The fatwa on Salman Rushdie was right. The idea that a religious leader can put out a death sentence on an office, there are people all over the world who are willing to help him carry that out in the name of God.

[Co-host/Guest]

Well, and decades later, as Salman Rushdie got his eye stabbed out, almost died.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, for good. Yeah, it's permanent.

[Co-host/Guest]

So let's lay out this story a little bit and then I'll get to what it's going to be like for the soccer women that are headed back. So you got five that got asylum. There are 26 members of the team. That means 21 are headed back. Just the other day, Iran's women's national football team traveled to Australia for the Women's Asian Cup. During the tournament, several players staged what appears to have been a silent protest against Iran's government. So before their opening match, many players refused to sing Iran's national anthem. That is widely interpreted as a protest against Iranian regime, similar to protests seen in other sports and demonstrations over the years. And there were horrible consequences for those people. Again, I'll get to that at the end. Iranian state media reportedly labeled them as traitors. Some reports say officials warned that family members in Iran could face repercussions if the players continued protesting treason. Accusations in Iran carry severe penalties, including prison, having limbs cut off, torture, all kinds of things. So what's gotten a lot of attention just the other day is they all got on the bus after their final match because they lost to the Philippines, which eliminated him for the tournament. Players were caught on camera in the bus making distress hand signals from the bus through the window of the bus as they were leaving the match. The hotel activists and journalists began warning that returning home was going to be dangerous for them. Australian authorities secretly extracted some of the players. They got five players that were moved by police to a secure location and granted humanitarian visas. That's when Trump got on the phone with Australia to see if he could do anything about that and encouraged him. So you got five players, but that's. Of 26 others are reportedly or considering asylum, they say, but it hasn't happened yet. Iran immediately sent authorities there to keep an eye on the girls there, make sure they got to the hotel, watching them in their rooms, make sure they get to the official team bus so they're not, you know, running off down the street and getting into an embassy or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Oh, it's smacks of East Germany back in the day. Soviet Union, North Korea.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, yeah. Iranian officials accusing Australia and the United States and other countries of political interference.

[Jack Armstrong]

So your people want to flee your country?

[Co-host/Guest]

Come on.

[Jack Armstrong]

All anybody ever has to know, what countries are people desperate to get into and which ones are they desperate to get out of?

[Co-host/Guest]

People risk their lives and leave behind family members to get into the United States. People risk their lives and leave family members to get out of Iran, North Korea, Russia, lots of places. Right, here's this BBC journalist and her post today. We are watching these women being sent to their deaths. This is the women that are being sent. Nobody's exactly sure on the reporting right now if they're already on a plane back to Iran or what's happening, but we are watching these women being sent to their deaths. The Iranian women's national team are flashing SOS signals and banging on the walls of their bus outside the Sydney airport. They're being boarded onto a direct flight to Iran, where they'll be slaughtered by the Islamic regime. They will be raped, they will be tortured, they will be beaten, they will be murdered. They will be paraded in front of other Iranian women and girls as a cautionary tale, a warning of the consequences of rebellion. Physical proof that the west will not save them. These women risk their lives in front of the entire world to take a stand against their oppressors. And the world is watching idly as their bravery is rewarded to certain death. The way we're Australia.

[Jack Armstrong]

Don't, Don't. Don't turn them loose. Don't let them get on the plane.

[Co-host/Guest]

The way we are failing the Iranian women's football team is a stain on Western society and one which will never be forgiven or justified. What a dark day for humanity. God save these women. She posted this yesterday with the Idea that they are already being put on the plane and sent back to Iran. I can't find any updates as to whether or not that actually happened or already happened.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Co-host/Guest]

Why did Australia let him get back on the. It's not like back in the Soviet Union days where you got an armed standoff of nuclear powers. Right. You don't have to put the who cares if Iran hates you or bombing the bejesus out of them. They ain't got time to worry about you in Australia.

[Jack Armstrong]

We have a reasonable belief these women are going to be tortured and abused if they are taken off of our soil. So we're going to interview them one at a time, alone, and ask them whether they want to go back or not. And then, of course, I mean, even if you do that slightly brave humanitarian thing, the poor women, I feel like the Five, I'm thinking, my mom, my dad, my husband, my sisters, my brothers. What'll it do to them if I keep myself safe?

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah. I feel like the Five that got asylum is getting way too much attention and not enough. On the what about the other 21?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Our media is so terrible. They're so incurious.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, that's unbelievable. That's happening in the year 2026.

[Jack Armstrong]

And even more horrifying is the leftist Americans who've been convinced that because the US And Israel are attacking Iran, the ayatollahs must be good guys. Or as I illustrated something I read yesterday on the show, if you don't get it, grab the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, if you missed it. But they make the specific argument, oh, no, the colonial oppressors are trying to divide us by claiming that the mullahs, you know, hang gays publicly in the square and beat and rape women for showing their hair and the rest of it. This is just a tactic to divide us. The real evil is the colonial powers, and people fall for that.

[Co-host/Guest]

Why are college kids not worked up about this? Or where's Megan Rapineau? Or however you pronounce her name, being out loud like the voice of women's soccer around the world.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Lesbians get murdered in Iran. Megan, did you know that in Iran, if you are found guilty of, and this is significant, if you are found guilty of having gay sex, the only way you can save your life is to get a sex change operation. What? Because the Quran and the imams have ruled that. And compare this with the transgender movement in the U.S. they say, you're gonna act like a girl, we're gonna make you a girl. Otherwise, you get killed. You're gonna act like a man, will make you man. Otherwise you get killed. That's transgender activism in Iran. And there are similarities. You're an effeminate boy. We need to castrate you chemically or put you under the knife. No, it's an effeminate boy.

[Co-host/Guest]

Let him be effeminate or gay or

[Jack Armstrong]

whatever the hell he is. Likewise with the butch girls. It's every bit as cruel and disgusting in my opinion.

[Co-host/Guest]

Wow, that's something. How. How there's not agreement that Iran is an awful, awful country by everyone on the left is beyond me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, boy. Ideology so twists people's minds, it's. It's terrifying in a way. Oh, we've got a little gender bending madness. Kind of an honorary dip of the ladle into that poison. Well, coming up in a couple of minutes, a couple of angry transgender people spouting off because they're misgendered in public.

[Co-host/Guest]

A dip of the ladle.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. I'm very metaphorical today.

[Co-host/Guest]

That's pretty good.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank you.

[Co-host/Guest]

I'm working on it. I just got a phone call from the college I attended 45 years ago. I wanted to mention that. It's kind of the old John Mulaney bit about. We had an agreement.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Right.

[Co-host/Guest]

But that and other things on the way. Stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Gas prices in the US have jumped nearly 20%. Yeah, we're now entering a time where filling up your Nissan Altima is seen as bougie. Right now everyone with the Tesla is like, well, well, well. The CEO of United Airlines said that rising fuel prices will lead to higher fares. It's never good when your pilot's like yeah, the light's on, but I think

[Co-host/Guest]

we're going to make it.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's funny.

[Co-host/Guest]

Gas prices people. The media loves talking about the gas prices.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we got actually a really good email from one of our beloved listeners. I Mean, I hate when gas thing I hate.

[Co-host/Guest]

You know, I would like gas to be cheaper too, but compared to my auto insurance or my energy bills or all kinds of other things that don't get 1 1000th of the news coverage.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Ryan from Houston. Do we have a minute for this?

[Co-host/Guest]

Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, literally a minute maybe. Why the price of gas matters more than just about everything else. Dear cold warrior and old Fancy Jack. One, you need it. And often most people fill up the car once a week so you know the extra cost you notice. Two, it's advertised on every corner. Every gas station you pass has the price of gas plastered. You don't see a running price of bacon as you drive by the grocery store.

[Co-host/Guest]

I've always thought that's the main thing that drives why people freak out more about gas than other things that cost way more.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, and then this is worded weirdly, but I think what he means is at the grocery store you get a total of all sorts of different stuff and it's more difficult to separate out how much unless you really study the receipt. Gas, it's the only thing you're buying. So it's more obvious.

[Co-host/Guest]

I mean, if there was a sign on the corner with your car insurance price, you'd be talking about that because

[Jack Armstrong]

that's a lot more. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Can you imagine? And then he points out. I'm paraphrasing again, but probably easier to get a moron man on the street interview at a gas station than in a grocery store.

[Co-host/Guest]

This woman's not sure if she can afford it. I'd filled up my car.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'd never seen it cost as much

[Co-host/Guest]

before, as you can see. Oh, God.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pain at the pump.

[Co-host/Guest]

Oh, my God. We got to.

[Jack Armstrong]

We got to amend the first amendment, don't we? Can you imagine? Amendment? I think you can.

[Co-host/Guest]

No more interviewing people at gas stations

[Jack Armstrong]

or saying pain at the pump about

[Co-host/Guest]

how they'd prefer if gas were cheaper, because we all would.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can say discomfort at the gas station. You can say a hundred different things, but not pain at the pump. The Anti cliche Act of 2026.

[Co-host/Guest]

Speaking of money, I just got a call from the college that I went to. Fort Hays State University. In the middle of Kansas.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's the Harvard of the plains.

[Co-host/Guest]

Good morning, this is Dane with Fort Hays State University. Just calling to thank you for your past support. You mean like when I went there. I haven't given you any money since and see if you'd like to support anything that holds special meaning to you and I just. I'm amazed that. Did you ever do that for your. For a college, while you were in college? Call people and ask for money? I did that a couple of times. I don't know how I got roped into that.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I was more into being the subject of experiments in the psychology department, the whole. Famously.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, I went there 45 years ago. I gave you money. You gave me an education. We called it square. I walked away. Why would I give you any money? Plus, you're charging a lot. I'm going to know that because I know people whose kids are going there. What? What is that? What is that? Is there anything else like that? This is the Hilton Hotel. You stayed here on Hawaii 15 years ago. We'd like you to send us some more money.

[Jack Armstrong]

Would you like to support something? I noticed you really enjoyed our Wednesday taco bar. Would you like to make a donation to support that?

[Co-host/Guest]

I'm not kidding. A restaurant you ate at many, many years ago. You seem to enjoy your experience here at the restaurant when you ate here 15 years ago. Would you like to send us some money? Why? Is there anything else in life that's like that? No, I don't think so.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, no kidding. Huh?

[Co-host/Guest]

Do you think Stephen A. Smith. Do you know who Stephen A. Smith is? Does everybody know who he is? Big sports guy. He ESPN huge. Like, the biggest. He is the face of ESPN commentary.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fast talking, mustachioed black man who's angry about everything all the time.

[Co-host/Guest]

He's glib. Oh, yeah, he's on Hannity. He's on Hannity all the time. He's a Democrat. But he's. He specifically said he's looking at running for president. And in the era we currently live in, if he announced, I don't know how he wouldn't jump to the top over Gavin Newsom or anybody else.

[Jack Armstrong]

But then J.D. vance is caught with a human head in his trunk. And all of a sudden, you know,

[Co-host/Guest]

why would he have.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just for instance, why would he have

[Co-host/Guest]

a human head in his trunk?

[Jack Armstrong]

Authorities are trying to determine that the Marco vs. JD thing is heated up lately. More on that later.

[Co-host/Guest]

Stephen A. Smith erupts after New York City Mayor Mamdani requires five forms of ID for snow shovelers. How the hell do you not need an ID to vote? It's absolutely dumb. Watch the full interview on the first episode of Hang out with Hannity on YouTube. So Sean Hannity has a YouTube thing where he sits around and no jacket and talks to people in a casual way, which is very popular right now.

[Jack Armstrong]

He doesn't have enough money. He just wants to do the Bill Maher thing for fun. I don't know.

[Co-host/Guest]

I think Stephen A. Smith could be huge if he runs for president. And you know, what does he think about tariffs or whatever? Nobody cares. We're into the celebrity area era. Everybody catch on?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest]

I think he, I think if, if Gavin or Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania or whatever, don't have their eyes. Stephen A. Smith. I think they're making a mistake. I would love that. I just think it'd be exciting for the whole thing. I don't know if it's good for the country that we don't. We go all celebrity obsessed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Absolutely not. No.

[Co-host/Guest]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

George Washington would slap you with the broad side of his sword for merely suggesting that.

[Co-host/Guest]

Of course the Democrats have such an advantage with celebrities. They've got Oprah could run. Tom Hanks could run so many big celebrities. Whereas the Republicans, it's always. It's either Ted Nugent or Chuck Norris or Tim Allen. Those are your choices.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. It's not enough. Vince Vaughn maybe. Were there celebrities in Washington's era? Were there like minuet stars that everybody knew their names? There are no movies, no TVs. There's no records.

[Co-host/Guest]

Joe's out on a limb. There were no movies when George Washington was president. Let's.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've studied history. Yeah. Make sure that's true.

[Co-host/Guest]

Okay. We got more on the way. Stay here.

[Co-host/Guest]

oh, wow. The journalist at CNN has been outed. Who wrote that ridiculous headline we talked about earlier in the show. I won't reset up the whole thing. They had their degree in gender and women's store studies from the University of California at Berkeley and wrote the story about the ISIS people. Two teenagers on a beautiful Saturday morning had other plans.

[Jack Armstrong]

So somebody with a gender and women's studies degree from. Sorry, UC Berkeley is defending Islamists. Starting to believe the Red Green alliance stuff I've been trying to tell you about.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, good one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. So speaking of the. The permanent omnicus and transgender ism is part of that. A couple of clips for you here. The first one is an influencer. I'm not going to torture you with the name. Which tells me. And it's all videotape, Right. This person, Katie, you brought us this clip. This is the sort of person who has encounters with people all day long hoping that they call him sir. Right? You guessing that's probably the case. Yeah. They thrive off of being misgendered. Yeah. Okay, here you go. Listen to this.

[Co-host/Guest]

Sir, what do we think of Nick Fuentes? What pronouns are she, hers, she or

[Jack Armstrong]

hers means I'm a woman.

[Co-host/Guest]

The time you say sir is a felony in the United States of America.

[Jack Armstrong]

California, where we live in.

[Co-host/Guest]

It is. It is. You need to look it up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Felony is. You need to have it read to you. Find someone who. Find someone who can read what that means.

[Co-host/Guest]

Not a felony.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sir, you're wrong and dangerous.

[Iflag Flag Football Promoter]

Dangerous, dangerous, wrong

[Co-host/Guest]

in your career.

[Iflag Flag Football Promoter]

Whatever you think you are.

[Co-host/Guest]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. That's not a crazy person at all. And it is also a dude. That's a crazy dude. Yeah. And this is wearing a bra that's stuffed with socks. And here is a man masquerading nationwide felony.

[Co-host/Guest]

Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

In the United States. California, where we are. Okay. A legal scholar as well. Congratulations, madam. And then this is a man masquerading as a woman who is going to a dress shop, name of Cinderella. Cinderella, which is. Well, you can describe it, Katie. Yeah. This is a store that's very popular for prom dresses and other formal attire.

[Co-host/Guest]

Did you get Your prom dress there before you ran over the homeless person?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I got it from a different shop, but I did go there. Yes. Y. Okay, so this is a shop that hires only women because they work with only women and high school girls and that sort of thing. Well, here's a fake woman who's upset at that. Hi, everyone, it's Emily. I'm here at the Wheaton Mall in Wheaton, Maryland, and despite this store being hiring, they have beautiful dresses. I just went in and asked if I could be hired, and they told me that I couldn't because I'm not a woman, and only a woman can work at that job. So Cinderella in the Wheaton Mall, you're on notice.

[Joe Getty]

Sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. You're a guy in the very brief period in which people were bullied and cowed into saying, okay, you're a woman. It's over, sir. It's just over. So good luck to you in your future endeavors, which include apparently working in a girl's dress shop.

[Weatherbug Announcer]

It's.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's amazing. And I mean, the fact that they have that policy is wonderful because getting fitted for those dresses doesn't happen with your street clothes on. You know what I mean?

[Co-host/Guest]

Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That would make you incredibly uncomfortable.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that guy, Women's spaces, bathrooms, prisons. But he thought he was doing something with that video because at the end. You're on notice. Sorry. He thought the whole Internet was going to jump all over the store. Four years ago, that would have worked. Yeah, during the woke apocalypse. God save us from ever having that happen again.

[Co-host/Guest]

By the way, not to get distracted, but go back and find the podcast where Katie explains why she ran over the homeless person on the way to the prom. There was a good reason. I had a very good reason.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pure malice.

[Co-host/Guest]

Oh, God.

[Jack Armstrong]

So speaking of beauty and standards of beauty, Jack, I'm now finally going to pay this off, and you can't stop me. Another camel beauty contest is hit by a botox cheating scandal. Scandal.

[Co-host/Guest]

Botox on the camels.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm just gonna.

[Co-host/Guest]

Part of the camel.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, dude, we're just getting started. I'm gonna read this because it's really well written in the gilded arenas of Omani cabel pageantry. Okay, we gotta stop there. We haven't even gotten to the first

[Co-host/Guest]

period in this camel beauty contest. And this.

[Jack Armstrong]

The gilded arenas of Omani camel pageantry.

[Co-host/Guest]

Okay, so this isn't like a kind of a funny there being a campy and ironic lark. This is a serious thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host/Guest]

It's like dog shows all Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm going to continue on because, again, it's well written. Blah, blah, blah. Omani camel pageantry, where the desert wind carries whispers of ancient Bedouin pride and the scent of freshly groomed dromedary. Beauty has always been a serious business. But this February, the 2026 Camel Beauty show festival in Al Musana, the pageant's quest for the perfect camel hit an all too familiar hump. Boy. 20 contenders were unceremoniously disqualified from the camel beauty contest after veterinary inspectors discovered that they had been enhanced. For instance, hyaluronic acid injections were used to plump those signature pouty lips.

[Co-host/Guest]

Pouty? Oh, God, use the word adjective. Pouty for animals.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lips. I'm really disgusted. What? Bunch of camel umbers. Anyway. What? Let's see. Oh, used to plump the signature pouty lips, dermal fillers and silicone for a more statuesque nasal profile. Botox to soften the face into an expression of perpetual serene superiority. Silicone wax to inflate the hump. Just so.

[Co-host/Guest]

Do they do anything to accentuate the camel toe?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, the toes are fine. Hormones. Excuse me? My allergies are really acting up. Hormones to sculpt the kind of muscular definition that would make a crossfit camel blush. Blah, blah, blah. So, yeah, they go crazy grooming and altering these camels to make them more beautiful, to win the damn pageant.

[Co-host/Guest]

And if you use Botox, it's cheating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Apparently, camel beauty contests consists of four main categories. Coat, neck, head and hump. Judges look for shiny hair with definable color. That's what I looked for when I was dating. A long and elegantly wide neck, a large head with pouty and pendulous lips.

[Co-host/Guest]

That's what I did.

[Jack Armstrong]

But that's enough about the Kardashians. That match long, dark eyelashes and a shapely hump with excellent posture. Well, multiple humps in the case of the hard Kardashians. But again, similar.

[Co-host/Guest]

That's. I'll be darned.

[Jack Armstrong]

And you know what? They got the big picture on this article. That is a damned attractive camera.

[Iflag Flag Football Promoter]

I mean, we go pretty.

[Co-host/Guest]

We go pretty far with our dog shows, Westminster and everything like that. But I don't remember anybody ever injecting Botox or anything into a dog or getting caught or anything. I don't remember anything like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right. In another story that's apropos of nothing but at least somewhat amusing, Billy Idol did Bill Maher's club random show. Is that where they sit around in the basement get high? Yeah, essentially. I'M not sure if he did, but he talked about how smoking crack helped wean him off of heroin. He's previously revealed he nearly died of a heroin overdose in London in 1984.

[Co-host/Guest]

Wow. And he was a young man and

[Jack Armstrong]

he said, once you're trying to get off heroin, what do you go to? You gotta go to something else, said the 70 year old, incredibly botoxed and plastic surgery former punk. He says, I started smoking crack to get off heroin. And Mars said, do you really do that? He said, yeah, it worked. It worked.

[Co-host/Guest]

Wow. That's a heck of a.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. He said there was super strong heroin around and he was hooked and he knew he had to get away from it and he thought, maybe I stand a better chance of kicking something else because it almost killed him. And he thought, look, if this gets me off heroin, I'll see if I can kick crack.

[Co-host/Guest]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Guest]

And apparently he did.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. He says he can now imbibe once in a while without it affecting him. He has a glass of wine now and again. Huh. Interesting. All right, that's enough of that. And then finally this one. We don't really have time to get into this, but I thought it was interesting and worth mentioning. Ted Gioia. Who? What was the article he wrote that was so. Oh, oh, oh. He was one of the first guys to really write eloquently about. He wrote that brilliant article. We talked about a lot about how we've gone from entertainment that's hour or hours long, to tiny little short things, to not even being entertained. It's just the attention economy. They just want your attention. You get that weird burst of adrenaline that's like a heroin addict. You need it just to feel normal. Then they sell you ads and nobody's, you know, super happy or anything but. And so he was the guy who brought us that idea. He's really interesting thinker. But anyway, this piece is Being Human is Cool again. As AI saturates everyday life. People are seeking refuge in flesh and blood alternatives, from bookstore signings to vinyl record sales. And he thinks a lot of this stuff isn't just nostalgia or being hip. It's the physical reality of things. Appeals to people on a level they don't even understand.

[Co-host/Guest]

Well, can it be nostalgia? If you're too young to have ever done it? That's not nostalgia. That's something different.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

Right.

[Co-host/Guest]

So it's almost got to be something like, I want a physical something.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. And there could be some sort of throwback hipster cool to it. I remember back when I Was skinny enough, skinny enough to pull it off. I'd go to shops and look for like really cool, what would you call it? Vintage, like suits, like the Rat Pack would wear. I've never thought. That's when I discovered that they all had 28 inch waist.

[Co-host/Guest]

Can you be nostalgic for something you didn't live through? Like I was looking at some antique motorcycle, like from the 50s. I thought it'd be cool. That's long before I was born. Is that nostalgia or. I don't know what it is. Doesn't make any difference.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't think so. I have like antique bookshelves and stuff like that. And just because I like them, because they're old and cool anyway, maybe we can get into this more tomorrow or something like that.

[Co-host/Guest]

But if kids are going to more physical kids, people in their 30s or 40s. I'm a very old man. My son, my high schooler said there's a bit of a mini trend for not being online at all. Not like looking at your phone, not having any social media. He said, that's kind of becoming popular. And I thought, I hope it becomes really popular. I hope it becomes the next craze. Although he mentioned a meme the other day, some meme. He said, that's a hot meme right now. And I said, how long do memes last now? And he said, about two days. Two days is how long, you know, a hot like meme that you could say around your friends and get a laugh and be cool lasts two days.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you've got to be constantly aware of it and on social media to be hip. And I've heard so many stories, it's practically becoming a cliche if you're into this sort of thing. But content providers have to churn out so much content so constantly. And there's so much pressure because there's so much competition. They work themselves to death and a lot of them finally give it up.

[Co-host/Guest]

God, when I was young, a cool meme or phrase might last months for a year. Dino mad two days. And on day three, if you say it, you're kind of a lame O. Hey, that was Wednesday. All right, Wednesday. That was funny. It's not funny now. It's Friday.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, Wednesday called. They want their meme back. Wow. Yeah. Here today, gone today.

[Co-host/Guest]

And you feel pressure to, like you said, be up on that. I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Could it be that this stuff is so noxious? I don't know if everybody will catch on, but a lot of people will catch on. Hey, this is making me unhappy. I'm not doing it anymore.

[Co-host/Guest]

That would be awesome. Like I say, I hope someday looking at your phone is like smoking. You can't believe that people used to do it.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's rude. Yeah, I, I, I am voting in favor of that.

[Co-host/Guest]

Or unhealthy. Even if it's not rude. It's just so incredibly unhealthy. Walk somebody. You see somebody smoking cigarettes. Oh, you know, a guy or girl or whatever. Oh, they look at their phone, not interested in them. Okay, we'll finish strong.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's so many unanswered questions of course right now about it. One thing we do know for sure, Mullers, morons. Some people on the fence about that. Okay, here's my evidence. They've known for months.

[Co-host/Guest]

We have all the entire military surrounding their country.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everything is aimed at. We knew we were ready to take them out. They have their big meeting. They have everybody who's important in the country meet in one place. His office. I mean. You've heard of a zoom meeting. This was a boom meeting.

[Co-host/Guest]

That's something that, that's the third or fourth time we've heard a late night host have to say to his audience. Jon Stewart did it. Seth Meyers did it. Fallon did it. Bill Maher did it. They'd have to say to their audience after a crack about the mullahs or the supreme leader of Iranic. What are you fans of the Ayatollah? Because the crowd is a little uncomfortable laughing at that.

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Co-host/Guest]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

I've been brought up to believe America is always wrong, though. I don't know what to do.

[Co-host/Guest]

That's interesting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, well, I've certainly been indoctrinated that if Trump does it, it's evil. So how can I applaud?

[Co-host/Guest]

See, that reminds me of right after we went into Venezuela. I told this story on the air at the time because it was around Christmas time. I'd ordered some doordash and the driver was from Venezuela. The doordash driver. And I was gonna write on the receipt, you can keep the regime change. Because I thought that was a funny line.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's very funny.

[Co-host/Guest]

Anyway, the crowd I was with, young college age women said, oh, you make. He's probably gonna spit in the food. No, he's happy. He's happy we went for Venezuela and got rid of his dictator. Us attacking another country doesn't always make people unhappy.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's probably a little pissed that the Vice President's in charge now, but this

[Co-host/Guest]

was like the first day or something. Sure, but this knee jerk reaction that us attacking another country and taking out evil dictators is bad, that's weird.

[Jack Armstrong]

Indoctrination works. That's why they do it. They got much to give you, they're going to give you what they got. This rule of four hour workday is about over.

[Co-host/Guest]

Time for Funnel Thoughts. Here's your host for Final Thoughts, Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, I'd love to queue up some Final Thoughts to wrap up the show. Michael, would you lead us off from the control room, please? Yeah. This is about nothing, but I ran into an episode of Arrested Development the other day on tv. I forgot how good that TV show was.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, it is unbelievable.

[Jack Armstrong]

Unique too. Yeah. Katie Greener, esteemed newswoman, has a final thought. Katie, just to clear some things up. I didn't, I didn't hit the homeless man with my car. I more accelerated and allowed him to roll.

[Co-host/Guest]

Yeah, he was accosting you a. A teenage girl and you were frightened and you had to go and then he, you know, and they gunned it.

[Jack Armstrong]

You backed over him a couple of times. Gears are so confusing, especially for girls.

[Co-host/Guest]

Jack,

[Jack Armstrong]

a final thought for us.

[Co-host/Guest]

I think I'll go to the gas station today and just hang out there all day long waiting for a news crew to show up so I can be the.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can't believe I don't know how I'm going to eat now.

[Co-host/Guest]

You know that guy.

[Jack Armstrong]

My final thought is I'm going to try to convince my wife to let me spend a ton of money on a new sound system featuring a a turntable and vinyl and big speakers and all. Honey, I've got to get back to physical reality. The Internet has left me alienated.

[Co-host/Guest]

There you go. Your sperm count is low.

[Jack Armstrong]

The digital world. Yeah, look at look at me.

[Co-host/Guest]

Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. We will see you tomorrow. God Bless America.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty it just don't matter what anyone says. There are no benefits to shoplifting.

[Co-host/Guest]

Who benefits from shoplifting?

[Jack Armstrong]

Who benefits from shoplifting? I'll tell you who benefits.

[Co-host/Guest]

The criminal. Oh my God. That's funny.
