Tone & Language

The episode stays true to Armstrong & Getty’s signature blend of sarcasm, incredulity, and frankness, often laced with humor and self-deprecation. The hosts skewer trends in parenting, climate alarmism, bureaucracy, and ideological drift, all the while engaging guests, poking fun at each other, and drawing out memorable listener moments.

---

Episode Summary

This hour of Armstrong & Getty offers a whirlwind of topics that capture the hosts’ cranky affection for common sense: a culture that’s “stolen our childhood,” a bureaucracy-gone-mad water fountain saga, climate cataclysms that weren’t, potato chip secrets sparking listener fury, and the unsettling ease with which young Americans (at least in the sample) endorse political violence. Infused with vivid color and sharp commentary, the hour wraps with a nod to human nature—the thrill of risk, the comfort of naps—and always, the importance of questioning the Machine.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong And Jesse.

[Joe Getty]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty Strong.

[Katie]

Not live from Studio C. Joe is celebrating his anniversary and I decided to take the day off.

[Joe Getty]

And yet I am here in spirit and in voice via the miracle of what we call recovery. Recording.

[Katie]

Mirroring voice, but not in spirit.

[Joe Getty]

I'm faking it.

[Katie]

I'm probably listening.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, maybe. Possibly. So we've assembled a bunch of the most amusing, insightful, wacky, whatever clips of the last several weeks, plus some unheard audio from the One More Thing podcast. Enjoy the Armstrong and giddy replay. So I just heard something that makes me hate the modern world even more than I realized I did. And? And we have several stories on that. Well, kind of sort of topic, but found out it's a friend of a friend. Got a six year old son, six years old, plays baseball. That's way too young to play baseball. It's too hard a game. Play catch with your kid until they're at least eight or probably nine. Have them hit in the driveway over and over again. Reps not standing on a field in a cute little uniform bored to tears so he can pose for pictures that the women like.

[Katie]

And you're saying this as a baseball player and coach, not just yes, and

[Joe Getty]

the son of a professional in college baseball and blah blah, blah. Yes. Yeah, the game is too hard. You're wasting the kids time. Anyway, I'm in the minority, which does not bother me in the least. So this kid's 6 years old. He's a good little ballplayer. They have an all star team right there. What does. What the f. Does that even mean at age six?

[Katie]

Oh my God.

[Joe Getty]

And they agreed?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. If you want to be on this, whatever the F thing this is. Yeah, okay. Two hour practices, four days a week.

[Katie]

Oh my God. Is a six year old.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I give up.

[Katie]

That's crazy.

[Joe Getty]

I give up. What do you want him to have Tommy John surgery as an 11 year

[Katie]

old or just you people thinking or just time? And you only get so many summers as a kid.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God.

[Katie]

Oh, that's horrible.

[Joe Getty]

I know. It's horror. It's child abuse. Moving along. How did climate science get so screwed up?

[Katie]

I maybe read the same article as you last night and I was laying there in bed and I thought, how

[Joe Getty]

has it not become just a common

[Katie]

thing to refer to it as the climate hoax? Climate hoax or the great climate fraud that we all live through? Isn't there enough out now to call it that?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, completely. Al Gore says.

[Katie]

What did Al Gore say?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, It's Pete Crow Armstrong, like. Anyway, yeah, it's this analysis written by a fellow with a musical name of Cuico Toro. But super, super is the gentleman Quinko Toronto World Music and all with two drummers and whatever. Yeah. Anyway, so what he's writing about, well, he mentions that UN scientists finally announced last month what climate researchers have known for years, that the, the most extreme climate change pathway that they've been threatening us with, the whole Greta Thunberg horror occult thing is ut implausible and it really shouldn't be part of the debate at all. How dare you? It was based on something known as RCP 8.5 to folks who are really into this, the representative concentration pathway 8.5, which was a particular study by like serious climate scientists. For this reason. He explains that if you are designing a highway bridge and you need to figure out where your structure's weak points are, what it would take to cause it to break. You don't have like, you know, you don't do computer studies on what would happen if, I don't know, there were a few more trucks than usual because there's too much statistical noise. You wouldn't find the weak points that you're looking for. What you do is whip up a computer simulation, ask what would happen if 200 fully fully loaded, 250, rather fully loaded M1 Abrams battle tanks drove out of the bridge at the same time. I mean, unbelievable stresses that your bridge would never face. But that'll show you where the weaker points are and what you might bolster up to deal with normal stuff. So you like super catastrophize a computer model to get it to show you what might happen if, well, climate, like legit climate scientists were doing this same thing in, I think it was 15 years ago or so.

[Katie]

You've stolen our childhood, Joe.

[Joe Getty]

You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. That's, that's what I do. If you knew me, you'd know that's kind of my act. Dream stealing and childhood crushing. That's what I'm known for, baby. Anyway, so what these climate scientists did was. All right, all right, all right. What would happen if like the most extreme crazy scenario were to unfold and the, the 8.5 has to do with 8 point watts per square meter of added solar energy. So it was like an extreme scenario. What would that cause? What would the stress points be? Blah, blah, blah, in the same way that the bridge engineer does this. Well, the problem is all of the activists and greed heads took hold of this study and used it as a premise for. Not the 250 fully loaded Abrams tank scenario. Extreme crazy scenario. They took it as a prediction and ran with it like crazy. And it dominated. That what's its 8.5 thing. Dominated all the discussion for years and years and years. And the original scientists are like, wait,

[Katie]

no, this isn't going to happen.

[Joe Getty]

It couldn't happen. We're just trying to do math over here, but nobody wanted to hear it.

[Katie]

How many. Does anybody have a total on how many trillions? It's got to be trillions.

[Joe Getty]

Could be sure.

[Katie]

Of dollars that were spent by the world to try to combat this fanciful prediction. So.

[Joe Getty]

Right. And I told you, including countries like

[Katie]

Britain completely destroying their economy, which they may never recover from.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, just a suicide based on bad data. And, you know, I was talking about name checking a few people and activists who embrace this stuff. That 8.5 thingy has been the default setting for 30,000 climate science papers since 2018 alone. It was from this kind of research, Mr. Toro writes, that we get lurid papers like Future of the Human Climate Niche, where respectable Dutch climate scientists claim that one in three human beings live in regions that will be unlivable in the next 50 years. It was this kind of research that gave rise to countless breathless headlines about how outdoor labor was about to become impossible across much of the tropical world. Alarmist documentaries claiming the ocean was about to end up without any fish or we'll all drown in it or whatever. Many he name checks, a bunch more best sellers and documentaries and stuff like that. That's crazy.

[Katie]

2018. Because Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, the movie came out in 2006.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Katie]

20 years ago.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. And so these people said, wow, climate change. Let's look at the most extreme scenario possible. Well, I think we've explained it to you. So this is another great observation of the bo modern world. I'm gonna skip over. So many South Korean soldiers get plastic surgery on leave.

[Caller or Guest]

What?

[Joe Getty]

That they have to permit them not to, like, do their jobs for an extended period after they come back.

[Katie]

What are they mostly getting done?

[Joe Getty]

Nose jobs and just facelifts and ear tucks and just. I want to be sexier. Plastic surgery.

[Caller or Guest]

These are.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, South Korea is so weird.

[Katie]

Even though they aren't dating, marrying, or having kids.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. It's all Instagram, you know, motivated. You got to look sharp on. You got to look gorgeous online. I saw an ad for Instagram the other day. I was trying to get people. I don't Know, sign up or be on more and stuff like that. And it was clear, every single bit of it was, I am an attractive to okay, attractive woman or girl. And I want everybody to see how attractive I am. That like, is the entire engine behind it. And dip ass guys who ought to get a job, find a woman, get off Instagram, idiots. All right, so here's the story I want to bring you. This is a person by the name of John Shoshe. Shoshet was something like that. Yeah. So he was on a neighborhood board in New York City and he came across this project to replace a bunch of water fountains in Riverside Park. If you know New York, you know it. If you don't, you don't. But it was going to cost $375,000 to replace one broken and one outdated water fountain. And he's like, well, wait a minute, how is it costing the price of a four bedroom house in suburban Kansas City to replace a couple of water fountains? And he says, I've spent enough time in and around the public sector to understand how he got there. He worked, blah, blah, blah. So he dug into it. And each rule governing the Riverside park drinking fountain project had its own logic. The backflow prevention systems protect the public water supply and are mandated by the Department of Environmental Protection. The dual bowl fountains, one bowl up high, one lower, satisfy ADA requirements. Under current park directives, water lines as old as the existing 90 year old ones have to be replaced when any new work is done. Because parks chose to rebuild the fountain at its existing location and there are no records showing where the old water line ran, A new trench has to be cut. A tree root survey is required because digging that trench risks damaging root systems that took decades to grow. The competitive bidding and procurement procedures were put in place to prevent corruption. The park's project manager presenting the slides was professional and thorough. Each box was checked and the outcome was a third of a million dollars for two drinking fountains.

[Caller or Guest]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

But it's actually worse than that. The community, through the city's participatory budgeting process, had allocated the 375 grand for five modern hydration stations with bottle filling capability spread throughout the park. Now that's still a lot of money, but you got five complete water fountain bottle filler handicap. What's it all right. 375 here in New York. All right. But the plan that emerged from the parks department had been whittled down to replacing two existing fountains with code compliant versions of what had been there for decades. No new locations, no bottle fillers, five hydration stations became two ordinary fountains, and the replacement fountains won't even be installed until 2027.

[Jack Armstrong]

Blah, blah blah.

[Joe Getty]

And he makes the point that what went wrong with this is what went wrong with virtually everything else. This is why we can't build anything.

[Katie]

Yeah. And an advantage China actually has over us.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. So true.

[Katie]

Not getting bogged down in crap like that to accomplish anything that everybody wants.

[Joe Getty]

And and he says the villain isn't a person, a party, or conspiracy. It's a system built over decades by people making a series of individually rational decisions that add up to something no one designed and no one would build on purpose. I'm going to call that system the Machine. And he goes on for paragraphs about it.

[Katie]

Understudied and underappreciated bureaucracy.

Take a listen, Hetty. She starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him?

[Karen Kilgariff]

I mean, I watch the Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me to know about him. But incredible innovator, right?

She says he's a, quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.

[Joe Getty]

Give us examples.

[My Favorite Murder Guest]

I know they do get along intellectually and in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings and she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of, like, what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today.

The Armstrong and Getty show.

[Joe Getty]

The fast food chain Burger King has begun offering the Bacon Cheddar Hash Whopper, which features a beef patty, bacon, an egg patty, cheddar cheese sauce, hash browns and hollandaise aioli. But be warned, it's so greasy that if you dab it with a paper towel, it disappears.

[Katie]

I bet that's tasty. I'll try it.

[Caller or Guest]

They lost me at cheese sauce.

[Joe Getty]

Sounds like a one way ticket to the grave tonight.

[Katie]

So we don't get as much actual mail mail as we used to back in the day for obvious reasons, nobody does. And everybody who runs a business knows you get, you get way more complaints than you get. Hey, you're doing a good job. Keep it up. I mean, it's just not in human nature for that. So we got some complaint in in regular mail yesterday. Going through some of the mail and opened it up and There was a $10 bill in there and I thought, oh dang it, this is somebody who wanted to donate to the Boy Scouts when we were raising money and you've just given me a task of I've got to figure out how to get this to the account or whatever. But anyway, that's not what it was. So I looked at the envelope. It's got typewritten like on a typewriter, address to the radio station and then no return address. And then inside a piece of typing paper folded in thirds like they taught you in fifth grade if you're going

[Joe Getty]

to send a letter.

[Katie]

And it says now we did this for the podcast yesterday and noodled through what it was when I first read it but had no idea it says Joe and I gotta I can't use the words here because it's got bad language in it.

[Joe Getty]

Joe.

[Katie]

The most effed up selfish words I have heard and there's weird commas in there. So Here is your $10 out of my Social Security check. And by the way, keep your effing secret it what the money is to satisfy your tight ass self centered ego. I will still listen to the show, but my regards for you will never be the same

[Joe Getty]

again. We noodled this through in the One More Thing Armstrong and Getty One More Thing podcast yesterday and use the actual swears. And it took us a minute to figure out what it was, but I think it was that I didn't say the brand name of the potato chips I'd fallen in love with.

[Katie]

Who figured that out, Katie or you? It wasn't me.

[Joe Getty]

I would have never figured.

[Caller or Guest]

I think it. I think it was me because I. His. His anger was totally justified.

Right?

[Joe Getty]

I would have never figured out lady speaks. They are not contradictor.

[Katie]

Joe, the other day goes on the air and says, I came across the best potato chip ever.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, this is the best potato chip

[Katie]

you've ever tasted in your life. And so I ask, oh, what brand is it? So we can all get some. I'm not going to tell you.

[Joe Getty]

I got to have time to respond to this because oddly enough, I agree with the writer. Here's what happened. Here's what was happening in my head. And it led to a remarkably un Joe moment because I don't really give a crap what anybody thinks if I couldn't do the job the way I do it. Number one, it's. It's Keo's potato chips number. It's K E O G H S. And it's specifically the Irish cheese and onion kind that I. Their crack man. I'm no longer in control. They are. And they've got so blue cheese and something or and sour cream and shamrock. Don't try the truffle butter. They're just weird. They've got. What did you say, Katie? You pointed out they've got like a Guinness and beef or Guinness.

[Caller or Guest]

Guinness and steak.

[Joe Getty]

Steak potato chips. I call it salt and vinegar.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Here's what was going on in my head. Number one, I thought they were a regional brand, so I didn't think people could get them. Number two, I wasn't sure how to spell it, and I couldn't remember how to pronounce it. And three, in the back of my mind, I was thinking, I love these potato chips so much. We ought to see if we can endorse them because they're so good. And so I didn't say what they were. It was weird. It was not the sort of thing I do. But to send me $10 from your fixed income, you really need to get control of your rage. I mean, both things can be true.

[Katie]

I believe that that is your thought process, but it came out of your

[Joe Getty]

mouth as just, I don't want you

[Katie]

all to enjoy life.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's how I took it.

[Caller or Guest]

Well.

[TNA Wrestling Commentator]

Yeah, well, right.

[Joe Getty]

But our angry, angry correspondent. Well, yeah, and like I said, I agree with him. Is a weird thing to do. But how about, hey, Joe, why not stop being a dick and tell us what potato chips you like? Like Joe Gatekeeper.

[Caller or Guest]

Getty over here.

[Joe Getty]

Hey, E O g H apostrophe s kios. You can. Turns out you can get them nationally and they're great. But hey, why don't you smoke a rock a crack instead and end up on a street corner in California? Because they're addictive. $10 out of his Social Security check.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Armstrong and Getty Show. Get more Jack, more Joe podcasts and our hot [e-mail]. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

[Katie]

We like the Free Press around here. They do good work. How would you describe the Free Press?

[Joe Getty]

Very independent, broadly centrist publishing outfit. They do podcasts and written stuff and all sorts of stuff.

[Katie]

And that's the thing that Barry Weiss started and then sold for a couple hundred million dollars. Went over to cbs, so they did some man on the street interviews. Young people.

[Joe Getty]

Look to me, just to clarify, she. She took on investors, but still runs the Free Press, Right?

[Katie]

That looks to me that they were interviewing people at. Looked like Washington Square park, but one of your, you know, one of your park areas there in New York City, talking to young people about whether or not violence has ever justified political violence.

[Interviewer]

Do you think political violence is an effective form of resistance or protest?

[Caller or Guest]

I think, honestly, yes.

[Interviewer]

Political violence is on the rise in America. So two days after another attempted assassination on President Donald Trump, we took to the streets of New York to see if people really support murder for political aims. Do you think that political violence is ever justified?

[Caller or Guest]

Yes, especially when the systems we have in place are not serving the people.

I do think that a lot of times their thought process to get to this type of violence is really justified and that they. They just need to maybe express it better than killing people.

[Katie]

That last one kind of probably, maybe. I don't know, we should probably do something different, though.

[Joe Getty]

SHE LAUGHS yeah, if she or her boyfriend or girlfriend kill you, you're just as dead. But, yeah, it's just a vague kind of dopey. I've been told that violence is okay because the system oppresses people, but I don't really understand.

[Katie]

Well, let's go on. In their words, that's what the Black Panthers are doing.

[Caller or Guest]

Like, it's not like they get to define the terms of violence. Like, when we loot from stores or we riot, that's considered violence. But them, like pillaging Africa or pillaging like India or pillaging like, other countries. So I think political violence is definitely a necessary step to, like, liberation.

I definitely understand people's motivations for it. I don't know if it's necessarily justified, but I think there's a lot of political violence that's being enacted by our government. So I can understand the response to that. I personally would not do it. But I do think again, there's of lot, a lot of medical violence, there's a lot of political violence, there's a lot of institutional violence that's occurring amongst people that live in America today. So I think there's just a lot of anger.

[Katie]

I thought that one was really important because I've talked about this before. I read some book somewhere on revolutions about how you really only need like 15% of the population to be committed to a revolution because you get to half or more with a whole bunch of people who, they're not going to participate, but they agree with you, you. And they'd be like, that woman right there. I'm personally not going to do it, but I understand it well.

[Joe Getty]

And if you're familiar at all with Marxism, it's being taught in our schools, you hear all of the rationalizations that they've always used and, and notice how many forms of quote, unquote, violence they identify because everybody knows it's an ancient principle. You can meet violence with violence. That's the only really justification for violence. Violence is violence is being done to you. So they come up with these pretend forms of violence to justify what they're doing. More on that to come the ideology behind it.

[Katie]

Let's hear from some more of these brilliant people.

[Caller or Guest]

I mean, for Luigi Benjion's case, I believe that. I mean, he kind of like, had, I guess, like a fault with the health care system because I guess he wasn't like, getting the care he needs since he was disabled for a while. So I wouldn't say it's justified, but, like, I see a reason why he was hurt today.

You know, I actually am a big fan, fan of Che. Like, I think he kind of killed it. And that's obviously political violence. I don't personally, like, like individual, like, I'm gonna go kill the uhc. Like, like, I don't think that really works. Like, honestly, my issue with it is from the perspective of that it doesn't really get anything done.

[Joe Getty]

If you're a big fan of Che Guevara, you're a right.

[Katie]

And one more.

[Caller or Guest]

We try the holding hands. We, we've done the protests, we done the Instagram reels. Like, until we have like an awakening of our, like, political power as a people, like, we're not gonna, like, that's. Until that happens, there's not gonna be real change.

Well, I can, I can identify with being Very upset with the President. I'm, I'm, I'm definitely not happy with him. Probably 99% of the time I don't know about killing him. I, I, I guess it doesn't feel very thought through to me.

And also I think what he's doing right now is not bad enough to warrant his death, is it?

[Interviewer]

Who would be bad enough to warrant their death?

[Caller or Guest]

Like, I think if, if someone killed Netanyahu, I, I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world. I think that would be pretty beneficial.

[Joe Getty]

Okay,

[Katie]

Now we don't, there's a lot there. We don't have any people she talked to who said, oh, absolutely not political violence, I mean it's, it's a dead end road, obviously it becomes a tit for tat and then the whole thing falls apart. We don't know if most people said

[Joe Getty]

that the free press is not into nut picking. I'd like to read the write up of this, but they would not just highlight one side.

[Katie]

But the fact that you could find this many people in one day, even if everybody else said what I just said is trouble.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and other than a very fringy fringe in American history, the answer should be an immediate unequivocal no. No, of course not. No matter how justified you feel. Because once that starts, it degenerates into chaos. That's the only acceptable answer.

[Katie]

They're young. Do they get any pass for being young? No. Katie shakes her head no. Thank you Michael, for that answer.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

No.

[Joe Getty]

The only sympathy I might give them is that the education system we insisted that they engage in taught them what they are saying right now. Again, this is not like sleeper cells or the illegals like on the Americans, Russian agents who are seeking out the children, whispering to them on the playground. It's our education institutions that are teaching them this. So I don't hate the kids. I'm concerned about out how far we've let this come. A point I've made many times.

[Katie]

Yeah, because that's the, that's the crowd that's going to be running things here over the next several decades. And there they are living in New York City. So you are by definition among the most privileged people on planet Earth. You live in Manhattan, New York and somehow have a place in food and stuff like that. They all, they all looked clean and had nice clothes on. So you are by definition the elite of the elite living in a town whose current mayor is a communist. I mean what is your willingness to get violent? What are you so unhappy about we're

[Joe Getty]

in the upper class twits promoting revolution space. Matt Taibbi well, Jack, here's something 100% of dog owners agree to. They want their dog to be healthier and happier and live longer.

[Katie]

Good.

[Joe Getty]

It's a couple minutes worth of audio, but. This is Claire Layman. Michael, we're looking at 90, 91, 92. She was the founder of Quillet speaking of independent publishing organizations that were tired of the always one side ism of the mainstream media. Start with Ms. Layman.

[Claire Lehmann]

So what I tried to do in this column was explain how the moral framework that guides people like Grace Tame actually has its own internal logic, even though we might disagree with it. That internal logic is that those who are oppressed can never be guilty.

[Joe Getty]

Roll on.

[Claire Lehmann]

So that moral framework is quite different to our moral framework which is informed by the Judeo Christian heritage, where rape and murder are bad no matter who commits them, who commits those acts and the political identity of the victim. Whereas in the oppressor versus the oppressed framework, oppressors are always guilty and the oppressed are never guilty, they're always innocent. And that is fixed. It doesn't change according to a crime and it's also inherited. So I'm guilty by virtue of my ancestors coming to Australia and being colonisers and there's nothing I can do about it. So guilt and innocence are fixed and they're inherited and they're based on things like skin colour, your identity, even your position in the economic order.

[Joe Getty]

And then she makes a final point.

[Claire Lehmann]

Now this might seem twisted and perverted to you, but this is the status quo. In many academic disciplines, disciplines such as post colonial studies, I cited in my column, I cited an academic who is the number one cited academic in the education discipline who argued that the oppressed can never be guilty of violence. So this moral framework hasn't come out of nowhere. It has come out of the academy, but it has escaped the academy through social media and through infiltrating non government organizations and the like. And for many people, people, it's just, it's, it's just the status quo.

[Joe Getty]

The number one academic authority on education, I guess, in Australia said the oppressed can never be guilty of acts of violence because it's always justified. And I'm sure that professor would tell us he gets to decide who's, who's oppressed. It's being taught in our schools. Whoops.

[Katie]

That's damned interesting.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I remember being just, you know, when we were in School, the mid-1800s, the Marcus were just creeping into the universities and I remember running into a couple of them as I've described. But now it's like the entire academy, I mean, almost literally. I got a chart right here that shows the percentages of professors who self identify as X, Y or Z. And it's, it's, it's almost hilarious.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Want the full story?

[My Favorite Murder Guest]

Take a listen, Hedy. She starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him?

[Karen Kilgariff]

I mean, I watch the Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me. But incredible innovator, right?

[My Favorite Murder Guest]

She says, he's a quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.

[Joe Getty]

Give us examples.

[My Favorite Murder Guest]

I know they do get along intellectually and in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings and she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of like what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her genius.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Armstrong and Getty show

[Joe Getty]

did anybody watch the, the, the climbing guy. Alex Honnold the free solo guy. Climb that damn building. And was it Taipei Got so much attention.

[Katie]

I posted the video of the part that made it makes my hands sweat when I think about it. The, the stuff where he's going up the side of the building. All right. But when he gets to the top and then he has to.

[Joe Getty]

I'm getting lightheaded.

[Katie]

Pull himself up over that last bart where he's just hanging there.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah.

[Katie]

And he somehow has the hand and arm strength to pull himself up and climb over the top. But man, that makes my hands literally makes my palm sweat. They're doing it right now.

[Joe Getty]

And then he and I sort of got I'm getting nauseated and lightheaded. And then he stands up at the very, very top of the tower on top of the building thing and and raises his arms up in triumph. They're 1,000ft in the air. Oh. 1667ft in the air. Totally unmoored, unrestrained. No fencing, no nothing. Looking at the people down below. Oh my God. That is literally. I have found the last thing on earth I will ever do.

[Katie]

I didn't catch. Was that legal or did he get arrested then like people do when they

[Joe Getty]

do that or I think that was approved by the Taipei authorities because there was no police presence even discussed or mentioned that I heard but because often

[Katie]

you see that sort of thing and then they do triumph and then they're immediately arrested and then they pay a fine for some small trespassing thing. Go about their life. I don't think you need to do that. You're not going to. The thing that's keeping me from climbing the outside of a 1500 foot building is not the law. And I think that's true for 99.9% of people.

[Joe Getty]

It's gravity. If there was a law that said I had to climb that building, I'd be in Leavenworth. Sorry.

[Katie]

Yes. Katie?

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, I, I, I'm just listening in. I Hanson saying it made him mad watching it. I couldn't watch it. I would have been freaking out the whole time. That guy.

[Interviewer]

If you would have slipped.

[Katie]

Well, it wouldn't hurt probably. You have a couple of seconds of

[Joe Getty]

real terror splatty McPlummett.

[Katie]

Yes. That last part, though, is just amazing. I don't know how anybody has this

[Joe Getty]

where he has to go, in effect, backward and get a grip of a precipice that's like behind him and above him.

[Katie]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Then swing out into space 1600ft in the air there. And then clamber up. Oh, I wouldn't want to do that with my feet 6 inches off the ground.

[Caller or Guest]

No.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God.

[Katie]

I heard they had to delay in case he fell. Oh, really?

[Caller or Guest]

That would make sense.

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Well. Oh, yeah, of course. Well, because they'd have to cut. Now, here's where we have to end the videotape because, well, he's. You ever seen anybody drop an egg on a kitchen floor? Oh, it's not pleasant.

[Katie]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

Because, folks, we couldn't show Splatty McPlump it.

[Katie]

Why would you show that?

[Joe Getty]

Because people would freak out and. Well, obviously everybody knows why. You don't show that. I don't think I do. Seen as horrifying.

[Katie]

He's voluntarily doing it.

[Joe Getty]

Well, go watch it online. Faces of Death. Normal people don't want to see that.

[Caller or Guest]

That's why I like, if there's ever somebody killed in a high speed chase, all the cameras go, pan away.

Right.

[Katie]

That's a little different, though. I mean, that's. That's all kinds of. They didn't have it coming or. Or whatever, you know, tragedy. This isn't a tragedy. Tragedy. Him falling would not. Okay, you tell me. Is that defined as a tragedy? It wouldn't be to me.

[Joe Getty]

You want to see doping like an overripe tomato on the pavement?

[Katie]

I wouldn't watch, but I don't know why you would go away. Like, out of respect for his family.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

So we don't see him.

[Katie]

If.

[TNA Wrestling Commentator]

If I.

[Katie]

If my son decides that, you know what I'm gonna do for a living? I'm gonna climb the world's tallest buildings. Freeform, I'll think. Okay, we'll get your affairs in a. And I hope it works out for you.

[Caller or Guest]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

But you'd want NBC to. To show him. I mean, I can't even complete the sentence. Proves Katie and my sane, humane point. And here's your monstrousness.

[Caller or Guest]

Here's.

[Joe Getty]

Here's the splat. Brought to you by Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless.

[Katie]

When you.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, that's just. You lack a soul. You're born without one.

[Katie]

I'd spoil.

[Joe Getty]

Sponsor the squashing. Brought to you by Furman's Funeral Home. Sensitive in your moment of need since 1965.

[Katie]

You know, I know somebody similar to this and they just. They're completely 100% aware. He's a friend of mine who's a base jumper. I don't know if he's doing it as much anymore. We're a lot younger. When I used to hang out with him and he was BASE jumping but I mean he's a professional and he was in a famous M and M's commercial that he would always show people where one, you know, Eminem's jumping out of a plane. Like a Super bowl commercial or something. He was one of the back before cgi. He was one of the guys jumping out of the plane and they turned him into an Eminem. But anyway he was a BASE jumper and he went to lots of funerals that people died and they were just perfectly okay with the trade off of. I guess I've got a need for adrenaline.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Katie]

I need it so bad that

[Joe Getty]

being a NASCAR driver. It makes you very sad if one of your guys, one of your friends dies or gets terribly injured. But you understand that's what you do.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Katie]

And I was thinking about this yesterday in regard to the guy climbing the building and then my BASE jumper friend and everything like that. I guess we all have different levels of risk and liking thrill because I'm a motorcycle rider. I like riding motorcycles. A lot of people don't ride motorcycles just because it's more dangerous. And I make that trade off and have my entire life and continue to and I'm not exactly sure why. I mean it's much less likely than BASE jumping or climbing free form those buildings. But there's. It's similar.

[Joe Getty]

Well, not to tell tales out of school, but you don't drive them like a 65 year old retiree with a Honda Gold Wing.

[Katie]

No.

[Joe Getty]

Usually you have indeed tested the bounds of machine and man at times.

[Katie]

True. We're stupid. Are people that this stupid or is it just have different risk tolerance? I don't know what it is.

[Joe Getty]

Just Michael, I can barely get on a step stool before I get dizzy. So you do you. That's what I say. You live the life you want to live. That's the way you want to live.

[Katie]

You're right though. When he leaned back and grabbed that

[Joe Getty]

ledge and then his feet. Stop talking about it.

[Katie]

Holy crap.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God. All right, so here's the fifth best piece of news I've ever gotten.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Cotton.

[Joe Getty]

Number one, Judy said she'd marry me. Number two, three and four, your. Your baby is healthy. Although one was touch and go. Number five Afternoon naps are actually really good for your brain. I'm so happy. Not only is it the most delicious feeling ever just to drift off on the old coucharooni or the old recliner.

[Caller or Guest]

Aruni.

[Katie]

Whatever your information you have, I need to print out, get it laminated and carry it in my pocket.

[Joe Getty]

The synaptic connections in the brain were able to recover and we're better prepared to take in new content after a little nap.

[Katie]

Look at me. I'm proof.

[Joe Getty]

Any amount of rest can help our minds recover and reset without losing any previously picked up information.

[Katie]

So what's the maximum length they recommend?

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're kind of vague about that. They, they love the 20 minute, the 40 minute job.

[Katie]

20 to 40.

[Joe Getty]

40, something like that.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Katie]

And then does anybody recommend a slice of pie after you get up?

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah, it goes.

[Katie]

It's really great for the brain. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Don't worry about obesity and no problem
