Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and.
Joe Getty
Getty and now here's Armstrong and Get. Clips of the Year Show.
Jack Armstrong
We look forward to it. Every year Executive producer Hanson puts in a tremendous amount of work to assemble this all. And then we, we just, you know, loaf in here and sit here and listen to him is basically our role.
Joe Getty
Sip and eggnog. Yeah. Yeah. So I hate to look backward as we plunge forward into April next, but we ran out of time last segment. So there was a lot of State of the Union stuff in last segment and it went by quickly. But crackpot Democrat Al Green of Texas was heaved out for making a scene. He was ejected from the State of the Union.
Jack Armstrong
I'd forgotten that.
Commercial Voice
Right.
Joe Getty
That was the JD Vance clip we heard. Remove this gentleman from the proceedings or whatever he said. And the other infamous moment from the State of the Union was when The President recognized DJ Daniel, the 13 year old brain cancer survivor who dreamed of becoming a police officer. He declared him an honorary member of the U.S. secret Service. And the Democrats sat on their hands and refused to applaud.
Jack Armstrong
That's where we are.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Wow. Wow. Well, here's the other place we are the beginning of April of this year. It's fond look back at the year that was. It's Koi Clips of the year.
Caller or Guest
My fellow Americans, this is Liberation day.
Joe Getty
They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful. What if they're wrong?
Steffi (Famous Footwear Spokesperson)
They're not going to be. It is going to work.
Jack Armstrong
I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment.
Joe Getty
I confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes. But we need to own our mistakes and we need to own what's wrong with our partners. I don't believe you. President Trump reportedly says he's considering ways to serve a third term. The Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you.
Caller or Guest
I'd love that.
Trainer Games Host
The man that braided my hair while.
Joe Getty
I was sleep on the plane. I need you to come forth immediately.
Caller or Guest
You can be my wingman anytime.
Joe Getty
There will be God.
Jack Armstrong
That's an embarrassment. I'm embarrassed.
Joe Getty
But just for the listener.
Jack Armstrong
I have nothing to do with choosing shirtless teenage girl movies.
Joe Getty
As opposed to the greatest guy now he's gone too far. As opposed to the now he has gone too far.
Jack Armstrong
Coolest guy movie of all time.
Joe Getty
I'm your huckleberry. Did you write a swastika on there? Sorry you're upset. Did you write a swastika? It didn't even work. We will find you, arrest you and put you behind bars. I identified all the GD fire hydrants. Finally. Oh, I gotta have a six digit code sent to my phone so nobody hacks into aol. Cause if they did, then what? G Money.

Biotech company Colossal Biosciences Says it brought the extinct dire wolf back to life. May it please the court, I come here today. A humble proceed before a panel of five distinguished justices.
Jack Armstrong
Is this.
Odoo Advertiser
Hold on.
Joe Getty
Is that counsel for the case and that. Elon's a car manufacturer, but he's not a car manufacturer. He's a car assembler. Elon Musk calling President Trump's top trade advisor dumber than a sack of bricks.
Trainer Games Host
We done picking cotton? We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation. On Saturday, protesters took to the streets in city all across the country.
Joe Getty

Caller or Guest
I know what the hell I'm doing.
Joe Getty
It's the bond market. Those markets were imploding last night.
Caller or Guest
They were getting. Yippee.
Joe Getty
You know, spacing off and daydreaming is incredibly important, as is sleep.
Jack Armstrong
Hope you are well or all.
Joe Getty
No.
Jack Armstrong
That last clip, if you don't know what that was, if you were to hear for that. For some reason, we were running out of time. I was trying to say something. My brain locked up and I just couldn't get words out. That was the worst, Arnold, in my 41 years of broadcasting that has. That's the worst it's ever been.
Joe Getty
Wow, that's. You know what's. What's funny is I heard toward the end there a bunch of impassioned voices about we're done picking cotton and protests across the country and the silent riot and blah, blah, blah. The hell were they talking about?
Jack Armstrong
My takeaway was, as is always the case every week, is that the story.
Joe Getty
Of the day that all of talk.
Jack Armstrong
Radio and cable news talks about goes away and you don't even remember what.
Joe Getty
The hell it was?
Jack Armstrong
Not much longer after and, you know. So why don't we all just calm down? I mean, we have dire wolfs running around the country now.
Joe Getty
And chicken jockeys, among others.
Jack Armstrong
I completely forgotten about chicken jockey.
Joe Getty
God, Michael, remember Jack's unhinged rant about the Val Kilmer? Completely.
Jack Armstrong
I was. I was right then.
Joe Getty
I'm right now, like a lunatic. Our friends and colleagues, lowest moment in show history.
Jack Armstrong
Val Kilmer dies and we honor him with a clip from. With the. From friggin Top Gun. You got to be kidding me.
Joe Getty
Look, that clip may have been extremely gay. I'll be your wingman anytime. Oh, my.
Caller or Guest
Wow.
Joe Getty
Avert your eyes.
Jack Armstrong
Not Doc Holliday. I still am hurt by that.
Joe Getty
Wow. Okay. Oh. The second Half of April's a blockbuster. But we gotta wait for quickly a word from our friends at prize picks.
Jack Armstrong
What was your more or less on laterals that end up being after the whistle two point conversions last night? I know that wasn't a category in.
Joe Getty
Price picks, but sports is weird and.
Jack Armstrong
Crazy and that's why people like getting involved in it. And you can make money with prize picks. And one of the cool things about price picks is even if your team or a player does well or a player gets hurt, you can still participate in a way that you can't in a lot of other leagues.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I mean for. Yeah. For instance, you don't have to do a draft and then deal with your team and make trades all year long. You can play fantasy football every week, pick your favorite players, win when they hit their projections every week, no draft required. Plus, if your player gets hurt in the first half and doesn't return, it's not counted as a loss. That's very, very kind.
Jack Armstrong
And they're excited about their new feature with early payouts. If your lineup gets off to a hot start, you can have the option to cash out those winnings before the game is even over.
Joe Getty
So download the prize picks app today. Use the Code Armstrong to get $50 in lineups after you play your first five dollar lineup. That's the code ARMSTRONG to get $50 in lineups AFTER you play your first five dollar lineup. Prize picks. It's good to be right.
Jack Armstrong
What Val Kilmer die of because he's like the same.
Commercial Voice
Wasn't in cancer.
Jack Armstrong
We'll have to look that up.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it's terrible. All right, let's make sure we don't run out of time. Plunging ahead the second half of April. It's koi eclipse of the year. Hi, I'm Katy Perry.
Trainer Games Host
Let's go to space.
Joe Getty
You are officially an astronaut.
Announcer
How do you feel?
Joe Getty
I still can't accept that word. This experience is right. It's second to being a mom. But the best part was Katie saying what a wonderful world she did. You know, I kind of consider myself the number one female pleasuring device on earth.
Jack Armstrong
Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said. It really is.
Joe Getty
This great country of ours is moving very rapidly in the direction of oligarchy. Oligarchy. Oligarchy. An oligarchic society.

Of Vladimir Putin.
Joe Getty
100% hatred. Maryland man. That Maryland man. The Maryland man let this innocent man walk out. There is no Maryland father.
Trainer Games Host
Do you plan to return him?
Joe Getty
The question's preposterous.
Caller or Guest
How can I disembodel the terrorist into the United States?
Joe Getty
We're in a. Waymo wouldn't let us out of the car and it would not move. He would not let us out.
Commercial Voice
And he was coming back down towards us.
Joe Getty
And he goes, run.
Trainer Games Host
He's got a gun. Just look at CNN's fear and greed Index. We are in fear territory right now.
Caller or Guest
Yeah, I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far, it's been harder, but that's okay.
Joe Getty
Tesla announcing its profits have plunged a staggering 71%. My time allocation to DOSH will drop significantly. McElroy has his masterpiece. Then we have the queues. Young men feminized by sissy porn furries and pups who fetishize bestiality. Today we're going to have a reading of Pride Puppy. It doesn't get more innocent than a children's Alphabet book. For all the beautiful queerdos dancing over the Rainbow Bridge. Why did you throw fast food on the side of my tussle? You threw mashed potatoes. You sit here, you drive in, you drive out. You have junk cars all over. What do you do? You drive in and you drive. Drive out. That's what people do to their driveways, you idiot. That's gonna be hard to beat.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's gonna be hard to beat. For Clip of the year just based on, like, the number of people who donated money to scouting. As you drive in, you drive out, you and my brother saying it. One of the funniest things we've ever played. Yeah, that's. That's pretty good.
Joe Getty
And then you got the OG lesbian talking about how the gay rights movement's been hijacked by a bunch of boys and furries and what the heck else? Oh, there's a lot good there. Wow. Wow. Oh, the. The montage of Maryland man, a Maryland man who was taken by ice, the Maryland father, blah, blah, blah.
Jack Armstrong
The news flow is exhausting.
Joe Getty
It is, it is. But take a deep breath and screw your courage to the sticking place, because we've got May coming up in just a couple of minutes.
Jack Armstrong
Right now, I want to get to some of our predictions at some point, too. I got a number of categories. See where we think we're going to be in the year 2026, which is rapidly approaching.
Joe Getty
Stay here for all that Armstrong and Getty.

Prediction question earlier asking everyone if they think Travis and Taylor will Announce they're with child in 2026. Everybody voted yes, silly.
Joe Getty
America's royal family is not silly.
Jack Armstrong
I have some more serious predictions after we get through another clip of the year.
Joe Getty
Yeah, let's forge our way into May. It's a fun look back at the year that was its coy eclipse of the year.
Caller or Guest
I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a long time and something happen to this guy and I don't like it.
Joe Getty
I read President Trump's book the Art.
Caller or Guest
To Make a Deal, and he advised.
Joe Getty
To disclose information before. Before it's time. Putin thinks that America has taken the bullet train to Chumptown.
Trainer Games Host
Medvedev writes, I only know of one really bad thing.
Joe Getty
World War three. President Trump's call to the founder and executive chair of Amazon peeved.
Caller or Guest
Maybe the children will have two dol instead of $30.
Joe Getty
You know, oh, Canada, we are over the shock of the American betrayal.
Caller or Guest
You know, Canada loves us and we love Canada, but we'll see. I mean, over time, we'll see what happens.
Joe Getty
Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign. It's not for sale. Won't be for sale ever. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan faces.
Caller or Guest
Multiple charges for allegedly obstructing ICE agents.
Joe Getty
While a state prosecutor and. And victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.
Caller or Guest
Let's move on. Wait a minute. Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry. You did not have the letter MS.13. It says MS.13. That was photoshopped. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay.
Joe Getty
How do you lead the world without. How do you leave the world without.
Caller or Guest
Having the best healthcare in the world?
Joe Getty
What?
Trainer Games Host
He wasn't hiding somewhere. I didn't have him, you know, sequestered in some place.
Joe Getty
Where's she at? Bottom line is the White House was lying. I think some of the criticism is fair, to be honest of me. We never got somebody that said we should never have done this. I can't believe we did it. Yeah, there's gradations of honesty again. It makes me mental. It was clear.
Caller or Guest
The America I love that has been a beacon of hope and Liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.
Joe Getty
After six decades leading Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett said he will step down as CEO.
Trainer Games Host
At least 100 flights have been canceled today.
Joe Getty
I just got told that the approach Lost all the radar. Three of the four radar screens went black. You've got 32 million followers, so you're one of the most followed people. See. Wait.
Jack Armstrong
Now look right now you're not going to take inches off my.
Joe Getty
My dick, bro. Stomping the Joy out of Life, Armstrong and Getty, right?
Jack Armstrong
I rarely say that. You're not going to take inches off mine, bro.
Joe Getty
That was Kanye talking to Piers Morgan, of course.
Jack Armstrong
And man, I had forgotten that whole period where freaking Jake Tapper making the rounds with his expose book about, hey, we found out Joe Biden's brain didn't work. And I agree with Mark Halpern and said it makes me mental that they're getting away with walking around acting like they they're breaking some news story.
Joe Getty
It was clear. Also worth mentioning the arrest of that Milwaukee judge. She was just convicted yesterday of obstructing justice or interfering with the federal investigation. I can't remember the specific charge, but it's pretty damn serious charge. She got the book thrown at her and good.
Jack Armstrong
So there was.
Joe Getty
She was the one who helped an illegal immigrant escape ice. He was a wife beater and. But she's a woke idiot. Anyway, enjoy jail.
Jack Armstrong
So here's. There was some more stuff in that clip and that was going to be one of my questions for a prediction, which I think we will definitely differ on this one, I'm guessing. Do you think Russia, Ukraine will be in a better, more peaceful place than it is today at this point? Next year or a less peaceful place? Same with Israel, Gaza, Palestine, whatever you want.
Joe Getty
Okay, excellent. A more peaceful. It's an interesting way to put it. Here's what I have cooked up as a prediction. I believe there will be a significant ceasefire declared in Ukraine. It will not hold and there will be a return to the violence.
Jack Armstrong
So at this time next year, you think it'll be same old, same old.
Joe Getty
More or less the same after a glimmer of hope is stomped out?
Jack Armstrong
How about Israel, Gaza, Hamas?
Joe Getty
Israel will continue to slowly neutralize Hamas. The idea that there is peace in Gaza right now is just funny because people are not paying attention to it. Israel continues to root out Hamas fighters where they're hiding, so I think it will continue to be pacified and I hope. Well, you asked for a prediction. I think there will be an international effort to start clearing the rubble and giving people lives worth living. And so I expect we'll move in the direction of peace there.
Jack Armstrong
I think both of them are going to be more peaceful a year from this date. I hope I'M right.
Joe Getty
I hope you're right, too.
Jack Armstrong
Certainly could go the other direction pretty easily. There could be some developments, particularly Russia, Ukraine while we're on vacation over the next two weeks.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Jack Armstrong
I want to ask you a question about the economy, though, that.
Joe Getty
Hmm.
Jack Armstrong
Got a specific question about that. We'll get to that a little bit later.
Joe Getty
Sell, sell, sell everything.
Jack Armstrong
We have more clips of the year on the way. And then at the end of the show, we're gonna go through the specific clips of the year, like what were the 10 best? And name the clip of the year. Which is usually fun. I think I know what it's gonna be.
Joe Getty
But so auspicious. I mean, the honor. Can you imagine if you can't follow.

Jack Armstrong
So do you think it was a performative suicide, one of those things we've been talking about that scumbag who killed the people at Brown and then that.
Joe Getty
MIT professor, I suspect so, given the very old relationship with the MIT professor. He'd been in a program with him in Portugal, like in the late 90s. I think it was the early 2000s and he hadn't been to Brown in two decades.
Jack Armstrong
I would put that on my list of maybe the best thing I learned this year. Joe and I both listened to the same podcast with this author who, who wrote this book about violence and shootings and all this different sort of stuff, who pointed out, and I think it's clearly true, a lot of this stuff, it's performative suicide. It's people who in a prior age would just killed themselves, but now if you take somebody else out with you, so you get on social media or more attention or whatever, and I think that's what this was.
Joe Getty
Yeah, your gripes are heard. And often, if it's attached to a political cause, the impulse to violence had been there for a long time. They just latched onto that political cause often, very, very recently and thought, okay, that'll be my reason to go hurt people or kill people, because I really want to do that. Anyway. On a lighter note, we're halfway through May in the clips of the year. A Couple of things that didn't really lend themselves to audio. In addition to the hilariously humiliating Jake Tapper. Hey, we just noticed Joe Biden is senile. Book tour. In other journalism news, you had pro Kremlin, anti Israel influencer Glenn Greenwald, who is caught worshiping feet in a little schoolgirl's uniform. What? Those pictures, you don't remember that?
Jack Armstrong
I don't.
Joe Getty
Oh, was I sick that day.
Jack Armstrong
I don't remember that story at all.
Joe Getty
I don't know. How could you forget? And also, the Free Beacon reminded me that that was the month that the Democrats, finding out that their longstanding efforts to alienate every male in America had succeeded, decided to try to get males back to the Democratic Party and hired Tim Walls and this woman, what is her name? Ilsa Hogue, abortion activist. And Defund, the police advocate who is Gonna run their $20 million campaign to understand men. One of the highlights of May. Having said that, let's plunge back into the clips of the year. Back to May. Sean Diddy combs these so called freak offs. Many of the sessions photographed and filmed.
Trainer Games Host
She even testified about him, you know.
Joe Getty
Threatening to blow up rapper Kid Cudi's part. If he get convicted, Trump's gonna pardon him.

Joe Getty
But you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man. Elon Musk's role as a special government employee coming to an end. I think a bullet can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both. Now it looks as though the war in Gaza is raging on a level that we haven't seen.
Caller or Guest
I want to make a deal with Iran. I want to do something. If it's possible. There's two steps. There's a very, very nice step, and there' violent step. I don't want to do the second step.
Joe Getty
Any of the representatives that were there.
Trainer Games Host
You lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
Caller or Guest
You can't intimidate me. Come on, give me a break.
Joe Getty
You know, I was wearing a green uniform. Bor patrol agent for five years before.
Jack Armstrong
She was even born. Is it better to shower in the morning or at night according to science?
Joe Getty
Tell you what, there's a fire burglary. I throw my shoes on, which are right next to the bed, next to my gun, my eyeglasses, and I'm ready to go. Some nights I sleep in a tracksuit. I think, you know, there could be action tonight.
Jack Armstrong
One of the things that sticks out to me is that entire Elon Trump relationship thing lasted a couple of months.
Joe Getty
Then their animosity lasted a week.
Jack Armstrong
So the whole story will be lost to history. I think it's, it's. There's a barely a blip.
Joe Getty
So you got your crypto bro abducted and tortured.
Jack Armstrong
I'd forgotten that one.
Joe Getty
The Macron shove in the face on the airplane.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, wow. Was that what was going on there?
Joe Getty
That was a good okay. Yeah. What was the other one I wanted.
Jack Armstrong
He saw that the cameras caught it, and it was just kind of. No, this is just the way we act. We're just kind of funny that way. I let her put her hand on my face and shove me over backwards, right.
Joe Getty

So a year from today, having lived through 2026, will we be more scared about AI or less scared about AI?
Caller or Guest
Go.
Joe Getty
That's a good one. Wow. Just like you. I go back and forth on this one. What do you think?
Jack Armstrong
I don't know. I don't actually don't know. If I had, if I had to guess, I think I'd go with more, but I'm not certain of that. It might, might kind of peter out and we just all use the various chat bots to answer questions and kind of get used to it and that's where we are a year from now.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I wish we'd had more time to go into that hilarious story from the Wall Street Journal about they put an AI system in charge of their vending machine and how sideways it went. That made me think, yeah, we're, we're a few years away. But I don't know. It's. You get whipsawed watching the AI develop in terms of, you know, the. Well, the answer to your question.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Getty
I'm saying more with a low level of confidence. We're going to be more concerned about lots and lots of people losing their jobs.
Jack Armstrong
We doing another clip of the year here? Are taking a break.
Joe Getty
I think we need to do a second segment. Right.
Jack Armstrong
Cool.
Joe Getty
Unless I've lost track. Yeah, let's plunge on. Let's push into June. It's the clips of the year. Israel launched Operation Rising Life.
Trainer Games Host
The mission included Muslim Assad smuggling vehicles.
Joe Getty
And drones into Iran.
Jack Armstrong
US Central Command executed Operation Midnight Hammer.
Joe Getty
Iran's response came in the form of a missile strike.
Caller or Guest
They don't know what the they're doing. You understand that at least two of.
Joe Getty
The Iranian nuclear facilities target targeted were not completely destroyed. If you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordo, you better get a Big shovel and go really deep. Divine the president. We will attack Iran. We would be able to totally obliterate them.
Caller or Guest
Totally obliterated.
Joe Getty
Obliterated. Obliterated. Why are we so afraid of them? Why are they the biggest threat if they're a weak country that's on its knees? Because they're trying. I'm trying to keep track. They're trying to divide, develop, be a little less snarky as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Russia reeling from Ukraine's astonishing and unprecedented drone attack. We also have stronger tactical solutions. Our Operation Spider Web yesterday proved that.
Jack Armstrong
Solomon brought 18 Molotov cocktails to the park.
Joe Getty
He was about to use a makeshift flamethrower.
Jack Armstrong
The travel ban is indeed feedback, and.
Caller or Guest
Nothing will stop us from keeping America safe.
Jack Armstrong
Operation Midnight Hammer is a good name for an operation.
Joe Getty
I'd say a number of different operations.
Jack Armstrong
The Tucker thing reminded me. So I got a text from somebody I know who follows the news to the day, the day president was going to give his address, so as Tuesday day maybe, saying, wow, are we really going to war with Venezuela? And I just got. That was the only thing in the text. And I was like, why? I don't think so.
Joe Getty
I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
What are you talking about? And I just ignored it.
Joe Getty
Then I saw the clip.
Jack Armstrong
Tucker Carlson that day. Had you seen this? And he has a lot of followers. He said, I have talked to a congressperson that alerted me. The president will announce we're at war with Venezuela tonight. And I've confirmed that he just flat out stated the president was going to announce we are going to war with Venezuela. Venezuela. He never even mentioned Venezuela.
Joe Getty
Doesn't that blow all your credibility? I mean, it should. You think it would. Well, and when Dan Bongino, who we didn't even talk about this, but he's quitting the FBI and going back to being a podcaster. And who can blame him? It's fine work if you can get it. You know, his answer about the Epstein files was already. Because he said it was. Or I'm sorry, what was it? He said, what was the. The inside job? He said was the. The FBI was an inside job. Oh, that was the pilot pipe bombing. The RNC and DNC pipe bombing. And they asked him about that. He said, no. That was back when I was paid to offer my opinions, and now I'm paid to follow the facts. What he was saying was that's when he was getting paid to make us up to spin elaborate conspiracy yarns to keep fools hooked in, just like Tucker, who used to be one of the brilliant writers in conservatism. I get it.
Jack Armstrong
On things that you can't. You can't prove a negative that you can't prove they didn't happen. But I don't understand on the president will announce tonight we're going north, Venezuela. And then it doesn't come up at all.
Joe Getty
I think you have a little left.
Jack Armstrong
Half the next time around.
Joe Getty
But again, and we've talked about this before, the good conspiracy spinner will say, yeah, word has come to me. Five minutes before the speech, the Jews got to the president and threatened that they would pull financing. So you elaborate. You invent an elaborate reason why you're completely wrong. And the suckers follow along. By the way, on a different topic that that bomb exploding while the angry Iranian newscaster was shouting the defiance of the regime. I'd offer that as one of the clips of the year candidates.
Jack Armstrong
It's pretty good. That is pretty darn good. We got more clips of the year coming up.

Chaotic scenes played out on the streets of Los Angeles.
Joe Getty
LAPD already declared a citywide tactical alert. Just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.
Caller or Guest
There was no violence. I was on the street. I know this violence that I've seen is disgusting.
Joe Getty
LAP can handle things. In Los Angeles. We are overwhelmed. ICE was serving a series of criminal warrants. So we made LA safer.

That's what LA is about. Dance like nobody's watching. Love like you've never been hurt and Skateboard like your dad isn't in prison.
Caller or Guest
It is with overwhelming enthusiasm that I am declaring that anyone who protests or interferes with ICE and their operations is officially gay. Big time.
Joe Getty
So I want to say thank you to every single person that has been able to do this.
Caller or Guest
Hands up.
Joe Getty
I'm Senator Alex Padilla. We are all Alex Padilla tonight. I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Clips of the year.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, I had forgotten about the bad flute playing of My Heart Will Go on behind Stupid Things.
Joe Getty
Alex Padilla clip with the. My Heart will Go On. Gotta be in the finals for clips of the year. No. Remember the, the, the giant protests in LA and his attempt to grand stand his way into national fame by interrupting the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Jack Armstrong
But that one. Gavin clip and Trump clip. Those were AI, right?
Joe Getty
They were.
Jack Armstrong

Democratic socialist Zoran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary. And it's where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism. Here in Washington, it was a celebration officially to mark the army's 250th anniversary.
Trainer Games Host
Authorities say a suspected gunman impersonating a police officer targeted two Democratic lawmakers.
Joe Getty
The Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some gender affirming medical care. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are going through a divorce. You know, I was like disappointed to see the massive spending vote, frankly. Elon Musk and I agree, I agree with Elon Musk.
Caller or Guest
Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we're well anymore. I was surprised.
Joe Getty
Musk. Then writing Time to drop the really big bomb. Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they've not been made public. What I have decided to do is to follow my own compass. I don't make my kids go to school.

I will need about an hour and a bottle of vaste spumonti. Wow. You had Ozzy Osbourne's DNA soda or whatever the heck it was. Yeah, yeah. The whole Elon Trump breakup, talking at each other in the the press.
Jack Armstrong
Although I had forgotten that Elon did tweet that out about the Epstein files.
Joe Getty
Why?
Jack Armstrong
Why'd he do that?
Joe Getty
Right. You know the Supreme Court banding sex change experiments on children. I will never use the term gender affirming care. That was a major moment, I think, in the breaking of the wave of woke across America. I certainly hope that's the case.
Jack Armstrong
We have a breaking news story because we're not getting much news on today. Did you see this? That the federal investigators announced yesterday? Yesterday. The fraud in Minnesota is not a billion dollars. It looks like it's $9 billion. Oh. Half of the $18 billion they spend, they think could all be fraudulent. A state with 5.8 million people stole 9 billion freaking dollars.
Joe Getty
I've been saying all along, California can beat Minnesota when it comes to fraud anytime. But per capita, that's astounding.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh boy. Boy. And lefties should be the ones that are angry about this.

Episode: COY: Clips of the Year #2
Date: December 19, 2025
Host: iHeartPodcasts
This annual “Clips of the Year” episode from Armstrong & Getty spotlights the most outlandish, moving, and memorable soundbites from the chaos of 2025. Hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, with help from executive producer Hanson, reflect on national and world events, mocking the serious and absurd alike, and offer commentary on political, cultural, and personal moments. From political blunders to viral moments and personal gaffes, it’s a rapid-fire audio time capsule, interspersed with the duo’s trademark wit and skepticism.
Russia/Ukraine & Israel/Gaza:
Joe predicts a “significant ceasefire declared in Ukraine” that won’t hold. For Israel/Gaza: “Israel will continue to slowly neutralize Hamas...” (21:09–21:34)
Jack: “I think both of them are going to be more peaceful a year from this date. I hope I’m right.” (22:04)
Economy & AI Worries:
Jack: “Will we be more scared about AI or less scared about AI?” (32:44)
Joe: “We’re going to be more concerned about lots and lots of people losing their jobs.” (33:41)
Armstrong & Getty maintain a sardonic, quick-paced, and irreverent tone, shifting seamlessly from news to nonsense and back. They lampoon the absurdities of the year—whether serious or trivial—with a blend of humor and incredulity, often breaking up heavy commentary with personal stories, pop culture quips, or surreal soundbites.
For listeners who missed it, this “Clips of the Year” special delivers a whirlwind, laugh-and-groan-filled look at the chaos and changes of 2025. Armstrong & Getty skewer politicians, the media, and societal trends alike, balancing sharp social critique with deep skepticism toward media narratives and a fondness for the truly bizarre. The show, both critical and playfully unserious, invites listeners to remember, reflect, and ultimately laugh at the passing parade of headline-making moments.
