Michael (Producer/Engineer)
Armstrong, and Getty.
Joe Getty
And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Jack (Armstrong)
Even I am tired of this now. So wake me when something real happens. But the Iranian Foreign Ministry just put out there will be no permanent deal with the US until these clauses are fulfilled. Releasing Iran's frozen assets, US issuing waivers for Indian War Oil etc. Etc. They have stated there will be no deal to open the strait until they get their Money. Trump and J.D. vance are still saying you don't get your money until you open the straight and deal on the nuclear stuff. So there is no deal. That 48 hours or whatever where the world pretended like there is. It was a deal. There is no deal. Israel and Hezbollah are fighting each other as we speak. The strait is closed as we speak and the main sticking Both sides are 180 degrees apart. There is no deal.
Joe Getty
Mr. President, Mr. President. Mr. President. Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show My question what are we doing here?
Professional Wrestling Announcer
What is this?
Joe Getty
I can't even take it seriously.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
Tuesday. On Tuesday we said something will happen between now and Friday that will break this thing down.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Well yeah. True.
Jack (Armstrong)
Truly they're honest to God this seems like there is no deal. So whatever. As you were.
Joe Getty
Yeah. So I want to talk about Juneteenth a little bit in a couple of minutes. I know even uttering that name annoyed some of you. I want to explain to you why it shouldn't as much. But first it's the beloved Friday tradition. Let's take a fun look back at the week that was it's cow clips of the
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
the Iran deal that we made is going to bring a lot of success to the world.
Joe Getty
We are prepared to release frozen funds. The Iranians in charge, the killers and thugs are still in charge. But isn't it worth trying?
Professional Wrestling Announcer
These fools who think I haven't been
Jack (Armstrong)
tough enough on Iran are either jealous,
Joe Getty
bad people or stupid.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
It's common sense. They don't want to get bombed. They don't want to get hit.
Joe Getty
Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.
Katie Green
What have you learned about not just
Joe Getty
the exercise of power but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict?
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
There are no limits.
Professional Wrestling Announcer
No limit.
Joe Getty
No not to get me he's coming after my wife Jen, a public servant. I want to be lighting you up every single day.
Katie Green
And now I don't have to worry
StartPage Advertiser
about offending CNN viewers.
Joe Getty
It's war.
Jack (Armstrong)
The paradox of California today is a
Joe Getty
success, successful economy attached to a failing model of governance. A phrase I learned early in my career in the New York field office. And that's don't choke on your own Smoke.
Jack Armstrong
Oh. There is no limit to how high we can go.
Professional Wrestling Announcer
Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?
Joe Getty
The most useful college majors now are foraging in hand to hand combat.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
So that means 30 equals 6, which equals 8. You know what also equals 8? 4.
Jack (Armstrong)
Unrelated 2 equals 6.
Orderly Meds Advertiser
Yes.
Joe Getty
It's basically a medical emergency.
Katie Green
We were notified that we have a possible Ebola case on board.
Professional Wrestling Announcer
Go ahead and cry. After 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again.
Joe Getty
There's a lot of people who have a lot of opinions, but when you prove them wrong, you really, you don't have to say to them,
HomeServe Advertiser
I know
Joe Getty
your rights and for the love of Mike, don't ever give them up.
Jack (Armstrong)
I'm Mike and I approve this message.
Professional Wrestling Announcer
Still battigan flop out again.
Joe Getty
It's clips of the week.
Jack (Armstrong)
We take on the Socceroos later today.
Joe Getty
Go. I don't think I can watch live. I really want to. I'm really into the American team. I can name one of the guys and he's probably not going to play, but by God, I love him. I think you're one ahead of my country.
Jack (Armstrong)
I can't be a guy.
Joe Getty
But we'll.
Jack (Armstrong)
We're running errands today, so we'll have the soccer match on as we drive around. I don't expect any scoring to happen, but.
Joe Getty
Well, some of the players you want to know about are the. The super great black guy with the longer curly hair and the super great black guy who's got short hair. The white fella who's like crazy fast. And then the big guy, he's so good. Really larger than most soccer players. He's my favorite.
Jack (Armstrong)
And they're actually Americans.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And actually, every interview I've heard, they're. They're great, earnest, patriotic kids who are playing hard and loving this experience and stuff. Really easy to root for. Plus they're my countrymen and I'm a patriot, so I'm rooting for them.
Jack (Armstrong)
Damn right.
Joe Getty
You damn right. And I want to talk about patriotism and Juneteenth and the bizarre state of progressive race politics at some point, at least briefly, but. And you know what? I decided to save this till next week. I'm just working a couple of days next week, then taking the longest vacation of our adult lives, my wife and mine, to celebrate our 40th anniversary. But I want to talk about how the birthday of our nation must not be on either side about Trump or any individual, certainly not a politician, no matter how great or terrible you think he is. That's bizarre. It's ridiculous. So, anyway, God bless this great country.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
What?
Jack (Armstrong)
Trying to shift my brain.
Joe Getty
Yeah. You're thinking about the Iran thing.
Jack (Armstrong)
Away from. Away from the. I'm. I just. I'm kind of flummoxed over the whole. The fact that it seems like it's completely.
Professional Wrestling Announcer
We're.
Jack (Armstrong)
We're exactly where we were Monday or Saturday, even a week ago. We've gone back a week, I think.
StartPage Advertiser
Yeah.
Jack (Armstrong)
I think we're completely at. We have no agreement whatsoever.
Katie Green
Okay.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack (Armstrong)
We'll see what happens.
Joe Getty
I was reading yesterday about. I'd forgotten about this because I just, you know. You can't remember everything, can you? That's why you make notes, why I have books. I don't memorize all of it. It's in there. The plot against George Washington in June of 1776.
Jack (Armstrong)
That's a good.
Joe Getty
New York investigators uncovered a plot against George Washington in the Continental Army. And at the center of the plot was his very own lifeguard. It's like the equivalent of Secret Service at the time. He'd requested, like, elite guys from each of the regimental commanders to protect him and his papers and his command center and the rest of it. And a couple of them turned out to be closeted loyalists and were gonna snuff him, but they. They sniffed it out.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah. Things that don't happen get lost to history more than they should because oftentimes it came really close to happening and would have altered, you know? Good God. How would that have altered things?
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. At first, no one thought much of the news that authorities had arrested two members of Washington's guard, Michael lynch and Thomas Hickey. May their names live in infamy for using counterfeited currency. Until a fellow prisoner named Isaac Ketchum testified in June of 1776 that he overheard the duo discussing plans to betray the Continental Army.
Jack (Armstrong)
If he hadn't overheard it, who knows what would happen? Book came out a few years ago. I remember talking about it at the time because it's really good. The first conspiracy, the secret plot to kill George Washington, came out in 2019. Really interesting. It's a page turner.
Joe Getty
Yeah. One of the investigators was John Jay, none other than the first Chief justice of the Supreme Court later on. But I love this. This is straight out of, like, a Netflix series or something, or Apple tv. As Jay and his committee set about investigating, various leads pointed to a tanner living in a swamp and a man without an arm. And soon to the New York mayor himself, David Matthews. One in the morning, June 22nd, soldiers raid in the mayor's house and took him into custody. Didn't take long to connect the plot to New York's loyalist governor, William Tryon, who had long since fled to a nearby British ship but managed to keep up communication with Tories in the city. So, oh man, what would happen then? Yeah, they knocked off Washington.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah. And. And it's similar to Civil War. If you're a Civil War buff. You know, the story of finding the cigar band with the battle plans in it that just happened to be found on the ground at a time when the war could have gone either way might have been the difference maker in the Civil War. What would that have done to the country? You wouldn't think the fate of a country or a world could depend on these things, but it does. Well, similar to if Donald Trump hadn't turned his head, how different would things have been over the last two years?
Joe Getty
Boy, I'd like to assemble some of the great historians and ask them because in fairness, they were going to kidnap G Dub. They weren't going to kill him. But if they kidnapped him as a hostage, what would the reaction? What was likely to have happened? What would the Continental Congress have done? What? Who would have assumed command of the military? I got a couple of guesses. But how would that have differed from Washington's command? Because Washington didn't win a lot of battles, as you know, amateur historians know. He just kept the army in the field and listened to his super smart generals and kept us alive while we waited for help. Gross oversimplification, but ultimately only Hickey, who we mentioned was hanged in orders announcing the sentence for mutiny, sedition and treachery. Washington urged his soldiers to learn from Hickey's mistakes. And this is the advice I want you all to take away from this and avoid lewd women. Apparently it was some hottie who led Hickey astray and duped him into this plot.
Jack (Armstrong)
How many times.
Joe Getty
I'm telling you, I'm telling you. Eve, apple, snake, etc please.
Jack (Armstrong)
My. My first roommate in college used to say, how many wars have been fought over that tiny little area of a woman's body?
Joe Getty
Who knows what. I'm confused. Boy, oh boy. This was a different sort of show. I would engage but I'm not going to.
Jack (Armstrong)
You're going to explain Juneteenth to us. I have friends who are working government who have the day off today. I'm anti all of these days where government workers get off and the rest of us go to work.
Joe Getty
But it's ridiculous that it's a national holiday. It's kind of a cool day and it's a good, good reason to discuss something more important.
Jack (Armstrong)
Okay, what is Juneteenth? Among other things on the way. Stay here.

I'm looking forward to this because I'll admit I'm not solid on my knowledge of what Juneteenth is, which is today.
Joe Getty
I'm going to wind our way there. Do you know who Carmelo Anthony is? Not the basketball player, the the teenager who stabbed another teen to death. Convicted of murder last week, I think it was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The reaction to that has been completely insane, particularly among some people who who push the sort of hateful, racist, militant, Marxist brand of race relations. So Carmelo is black. His victim, Austin Metcalf, was white. And apparently the racial justice movement now just believes any murder of a white kid should be legal. Here's Jasmine Crockett, sitting member of Congress. Quote, black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day. A fear and agony that I promise you. The Metcalfe's that was the victim's name, probably never spent a day living that way. So black women live in agony that the Metcalfe whose son died bleeding out in his twin brother's arms, don't have to go through that agony, okay? Later, she doubled down. Carmelo decided to go under a tent and simply didn't want to be put out in the rain by some random kid that he didn't know. There was little to no mercy scene or humanity scene when this black boy said I was scared. Outside the courtroom, supporters of Anthony gathered. One woman said, quote, what do you want us to do at this point? I got five boys. I ain't got nothing to tell them no more. Tell them don't stab anyone in the heart over a minor dispute. Tell them that. Don't use deadly violence to settle idiotic teen arguments. Start there anyway. It was in the midst of a lot of that militant, hateful woke, quote, unquote, social justice, racial stuff that Juneteenth became a national Holiday. And a lot of people, including me, hate that stuff. Just absolutely hate it. And the Biden, Biden kowtowing desperately to a certain segment of black America saying the next Supreme Court justice would be a black woman and as Veep would be a black woman and the rest of it. So it was all. It all kind of has the stink of that period. And it's too bad because it's really a cool day if you and you should take pride in the fact that we and the Brits effectively ended the global slave trade to the extent that we could. It's still going on today, but we certainly ended the transatlantic slave trade and, you know, various aspects of it. So Juneteenth is a blend of the word June and 19th. Because on June 19th in the mostly illiterate slaves of Galveston, Texas in that area didn't know they were free until two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Orderly Meds Advertiser
Wow.
Jack (Armstrong)
I didn't realize it was that long. Two and a half years.
Joe Getty
It's a horror.
Jack (Armstrong)
If you'd asked me it I said they didn't know for weeks that they had been emancipated, not two and a half years.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it's bad enough so they had no idea. And when General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865, he read general orders number three, which officially declared that all enslaved people in Texas were free. And so these people found out they were free and that effectively ended slavery for good in the United States. Which you could argue that the Emancipation Proclamation date. If we're going to have a holiday, that'd be a better date or whatever, and that's fine, we can have that discussion. But the day slavery really came to an end for effing good in the US is a day worth celebrating. And it's unfortunate that it carries with it the stank of Marxist, divisive, hateful race politics.
Jack (Armstrong)
It is kind of interesting that Juneteenth became a federal holiday, but the date of the Emancipation Proclamation did not already years ago.
Joe Getty
Sure. Well, partly, I think, because Lincoln's birthday was a holiday and he was hailed for, you know, that sort of thing. Which reminds me, and there are great books you can read about this or just ask Tim Sandifer someday. The founding fathers were absolutely 100% acutely aware of the contradiction between we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and the fact that they were slaves. Thomas Jefferson was enormously pained by that. Now was he? Could he have done better and freed the slaves above all? Yeah, sure. But people act like that would just have been effortless to end slavery in the new world when it existed all over the world. At that time they knew 100% they'd put themselves in a terrible fix and working it out would take a while and be painful. But if anybody ever claims otherwise, they are a liar.

Indeed.
Rob Gronkowski
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Speaking of parenthood, what a pleasure it is to welcome back to the show Katie Green. Katie. Katie, the mommy lady who has a new baby. Hey, Katie.
Katie Green
Hey, guys. Happy Father's Day ahead of time.
Joe Getty
Thank you very much. How's it going?
Katie Green
It's going great. And actually we have a, I think a new milestone this morning. I know they can't really see a whole lot yet. He's five weeks as of Tuesday. But when I'm looking at him and smiling, he is smiling back and I am a puddle.
Joe Getty
Oh, my God. God, yes.
Jack (Armstrong)
Five and a half weeks already. Wow. Time goes by fast for other people's babies.
Katie Green
Yeah, I was, I was telling my mom, I was like, this has been the longest and shortest five weeks of my life.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Isn't that wild?
Katie Green
That's the way he's doing.
Jack (Armstrong)
Go ahead.
Katie Green
Oh, no, I was just saying he's doing great. He's gaining weight finally. And we're a happy little family over here.
Jack (Armstrong)
It's interesting you say that because I don't remember that it started right away, but so the entire parenting experience then apparently from day one is. It's the longest and shortest, both. Because the whole thing is that.
Joe Getty
Yeah. The hours drag in, the years fly. Yeah, it's. It's amazing.
Jack (Armstrong)
Wow.
Joe Getty
All right, Glad to hear he's Gaining weight. I'll wait till he laughs. Oh, my God, a baby laughing.
Katie Green
I can't wait. Well, right now, when he. When he poops, he does this thing at the end, so I always do that.
Jack (Armstrong)
If you hear me in the stall next to you, I'm laughing. I'm a laugh, Right?
Julian Edelman
Yeah.
Joe Getty
That's beautiful.
Katie Green
More than I needed to know.
Joe Getty
So you sent the. The crew a great picture of you and Drew and the babe together. How's Drew loving being a dad?
Katie Green
Oh, he's. He's so. I mean, he's just as obviously in love as I am, but he's such a great dad, you know, it's like you. You know, you marry someone, you're in love with that person, and then they go and do something that makes you fall in love with them all over again. Watching him become a dad has done that.
Jack (Armstrong)
And his first Father's Day.
Katie Green
Yeah.
Jack (Armstrong)
On Sunday.
Katie Green
Yep. It's his. So Van. Van was born on 12 May. Drew's birthday was June 4. He turned 40, and then he's having his first Father's Day. So he's having a hell of a month.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Good Lord. I'd say. Yeah. Yeah. Nickname yet for the little lad, Van the Man, perhaps. Just suggesting, actually, that.
Katie Green
That is. That is actually one of the main ones, Van the Man. But still, I keep calling him Monkey because he's just. He's mad monkey, sad monkey, happy monkey.
Jack (Armstrong)
But the tail that you mentioned the last time we talked to you also.
Joe Getty
Yeah, his tail is the thing.
Katie Green
Yeah, Right. Yeah, right. He likes to hang from it, you know? But it's so funny now. My mom and dad. And this is totally fine with me. I no longer exist like my mom and dad, but we. We go anywhere, and they'll. You know, they get up and they leave the table if we go to dinner, and they come out and they're like, where's Van? And I'm like, hey, guys. Remember me?
Joe Getty
Oh, no. You are just a means to get to grandchildren, you fool.
Katie Green
Exactly.
Professional Wrestling Announcer

Bringing a kid up, right? Oh, you know, I was just reading Katie and. God dang it. This is so obvious. The whole peanut allergy thing and egg allergy thing and so many allergies are because the kid didn't get exposed to it. The whole, oh, don't give your kid this and don't do that, and don't let them play on the floor. And you've got to keep them perfectly clean all the time. They were 100% wrong about all of them. It.
Katie Green
Right. So, yeah, no, yeah, we're not playing that game. He's gonna. He's gonna be very exposed to every. He already has been. I'm in. I'm in a mom's group on Facebook, and It's. It's called May 2026 baby. So it's obviously all the babies that were born in the month of May, and one woman posted yesterday, hey, when are we allowed to start taking our kids out? And I'm like, oh, my God. Van's been going out since he was 10 days old. We're not. You know, it's not. We're not. I'm not going to live in fear with him. And he's going to eat all the food. He will not be a picky eater. And, you know, he's. He's going to. He's going to be. He's going to be all good.
Jack (Armstrong)
I don't know if you ever heard this story, because this happened years before you started with us, because, I mean, I certainly went about as far as you want to go on terms of exposing your kid to germs. As one of my kids, and I don't remember which one at this point. He goes into the bathroom with me at Target. He's very small. Very small, but obviously big enough to walk, but maybe like two or something. I'm using a urinal, and when I turn around, he's down on his hands and knees licking the drain in the Target bathroom.
Katie Green
For the love of God, Jack.
Jack (Armstrong)
Licking the drain where they wash down everything, the chemicals and everything else in The Target bathroom.
Orderly Meds Advertiser
Oh, my.
Joe Getty
Could have been worse. Could have been Walmart.
Katie Green
Oh, well. So what did you do?
Jack (Armstrong)
I mean, just screamed like a lunatic?
Katie Green
Yeah.
Joe Getty
That's so gross.
Jack (Armstrong)
Oh, my God. But everything's been fine. And then one time, Sam, Joe and I were speaking at the Capitol in Sacramento, the big capital. It must have been Tea Party or something. Probably was around 2010, because my. Anyway, Sam picked up some, What I call bum gum. He found some gum on the sidewalk that belonged to a bum, probably, and was chewing. Gum. Gum. There's different ways to expose your kid to germs.
Katie Green
Okay, well, I don't plan on either one of those, but he'll get his fair share, I'm sure.
Joe Getty
Yeah, societies that, like, have barnyard animals walking in and out of their houses, allergies are completely unknown, and the kids have immune systems like crazy. So get a couple indoor goats. That's the key to a law, long, healthy life. And remember, a kid who doesn't have a job by age 8 is probably going to be a boomerang kid. So get that kid.
Katie Green
Please, please tell. Please tell Drew that I need a goat. Please, I want one.
Joe Getty
Oh, God, you have a baby.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah.
Joe Getty
To paraphrase.
Katie Green
I know, but what. What's a baby goat? Come on, you know, same noises.
Joe Getty
A kid without a kid is no kid at all. Or something like that. I don't know. Jack, you're the goat expert around here. I'll let you rule on that.
Jack (Armstrong)
Well, I'm glad everything's going so well. That's fantastic. And we appreciate you checking in. Definitely.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Say hey to the family. Hey, real quick.
Katie Green
I will. And yes, Michael.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
No, I just want to know how. When you take him out in public, how are people reacting to him? Do it constantly. People coming up to you.
Katie Green
He's a chick magnet. All the ladies, I mean, so, like, you know, young girls are, oh, my
Joe Getty
God,
Katie Green
he's got the Riz. And then the older ladies come up and they love him, but the only thing is, is that they all want to, like, touch him. And I'm kind of like,
Joe Getty
yeah, I'm sure. Goats wandering in and out, but not strangers touching on my kid. Hands off there.
Katie Green
Right?
Julian Edelman
Yeah.
Katie Green
Goats over strangers every day. Without a doubt. But he. He's great in public. And everybody. Everybody just loves him. And we take him to dinner, we take him everywhere, and he's just.
Jack Armstrong
Just.
Katie Green
He's a peaceful little guy.
Joe Getty
There will come a day, Katie.
Michael (Producer/Engineer)
It.
Joe Getty
It's more for dudes, I think, than women, but there will come a day when someone Will hand you their baby and you'll be like, oh, my God, do I remember how to do this?
Katie Green
Believe it or not, I'm. I'm watching that happen with my parents.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And it takes about three seconds. Then you're like, oh, yeah. I used to be really good at this.
Jack (Armstrong)
Used to do it all the time. Used to do it with one hand while I was cooking.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Katie Green
My favorite thing is my. My mom with my dad right now because my dad holding him like football, which is how he used to hold me up, just. He's gonna get a crick in his neck. Stop holding him.
Joe Getty
Like, that's all about baby security. You gotta hold them tight. Right. Katie, great to talk to you and, and stay in touch, all right?
Katie Green
Absolutely. You guys, I miss you. And happy Father's Day again.
Wells Fargo Advertiser
All right.
Joe Getty
Thanks.
Jack (Armstrong)
Hey.
Joe Getty
To the family. Cool.
Jack (Armstrong)
Katie. Katie, the baby lady. Five and a half weeks already.
Joe Getty
I. I'm astounded by that.
Jack (Armstrong)
I know other people's babies go by really fast.
Wells Fargo Advertiser
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yeah. I hardly feel like I know the kid. Well, Vanda, man,
Jack (Armstrong)
there's just no amount of words that can explain how your life changes and your psychology changes and everything around having. Going from non parent to parent.
Katie Green
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Happy Father's Day to all the dads and all the moms.
Katie Green
Dads.
Joe Getty
Don't you know what I'm talking about day?
Jack (Armstrong)
As far as I can tell, you don't hear near as much about Father's Day as you do Mother's Day. Boy.
Joe Getty
I was just rereading some of the statistics about if a kid grows up without a dad in the home, you know, quadruple as likely to be poor, oh, go to prison, you know, all sorts of become addicted to drugs.
CarMax Advertiser
It's.
Jack (Armstrong)
It's.
Joe Getty
It's terrible.
Jack (Armstrong)
The most interesting article I read about Father's Day the other day was just how many men are choosing not to become a father at all.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack (Armstrong)
More than ever in history. And that's its own thing that we've talked about a lot. But just all that thing I just mentioned about the number of changes that happen to you and your.
Wells Fargo Advertiser
The.
Jack (Armstrong)
Your view of the world and that's. And the chemistry in your brain and everything like that that millions upon millions of people are deciding. I'm not gonna get involved in that.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack (Armstrong)
Kind of an interesting experiment for the
Joe Getty
planet, though it is utterly fundamental to the human experience.
Orderly Meds Advertiser
Anyway.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had something else to say, but it flitted out of my mind because I'm old and no longer of childbearing years. Unless I'm like a Hollywood star, then I'd go ahead and knock a few out. Or a rock star too. Mick Jagger.
Jack (Armstrong)
There is a little bit of breaking news which I will keep short. Have a little something around the soccer match as we take on the soccer Roos today. The United States versus Australia. We need to beat them. We should beat them, right? We're ranked higher than they are. Is that correct?
Joe Getty
I don't know. I don't remember.
Jack (Armstrong)
I think we are. I'll look that up.
Joe Getty
They're very defensive minded, the Aussies. Jack 6:11 behind the ball. Oh, I'm telling you, that's just the expression I heard the other day.
Rob Gronkowski
Okay.
Jack (Armstrong)
I don't know what that means. All right, we'll finish strong.
Joe Getty
Next Armstrong and Getty.

Jack (Armstrong)
I'm gonna really dumb this down for those of you who are like me, who know nothing about World cup soccer and don't watch. Every four years and it's the world's biggest sporting event, but I've never paid attention to it in my life and
Joe Getty
I lacked superior because I know a little bit about it.
Jack (Armstrong)
So 48 teams in the tournament total to start, and then you play these various games to try to get to the knockout round. And that includes the final 32. So they're eliminating 16 teams. So go from 48 to 32. We don't have to beat Australia today to make the final 32. Having won our first game, if we would win that third game against Turkey, we would most likely make it into the final 32. It'd be nice to beat Australia today. Then we're almost guaranteed pretty much to make the single single elimination round of 32. When you get to the 32, it's like March Madness for college basketball. One and done. I mean, it's just single elimination, which is, you know, makes is both fun and unfair because, you know, you can have a great team with an off day and a mediocre team with a great day. And if you played a hundred times, you wouldn't get that result again. But it's part of what makes it so exciting, right?
Joe Getty
Bad break, bad call, whatever. Yeah, it can happen. But that also brings unbelievable intensity to every game.
Jack (Armstrong)
We are the 16th ranked team in this tournament. Australia is 27, as it says here. It's, you know, so we, we are expected to win. We have like a 65 chance of winning on paper, but expect it to be a close. It shouldn't be a blowout either way. And a lot of it has to do with whether Christian Pulisak. Pulisic.
Joe Getty
Pulisic, yeah.
Jack (Armstrong)
Plays or not. He's one of our better players. He's hurt. We don't know I think as of this moment whether or not he's going to play. If he doesn't play, the gap narrows a lot between us and Australia. So that's something to pay attention to.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I was reading about the guys who are probably going to take up the slack and how one in particular is really, really super good. He's been down last couple years, blah, blah, blah. So we'll see that. That's why they play the games, as the cliche goes. Should be exciting.
Jack (Armstrong)
And how many goals you win by matters in this sport, like in, you know, speaking of March Madness, it doesn't matter whether you win by one or blow a team out by 50. It just doesn't matter. But it does in soccer. And the fact that we won that first 1 against Paraguay 4 to 1 is why even with a loss today, we'll probably make it into the knockout round.
Joe Getty
Yeah, they in the preliminary. Because the difference obviously with March Madness is you have a giant play in tournament to figure out who's in June Madness. And yeah, goals, goal differential, breaks ties and that sort of thing.
Jack (Armstrong)
And then that's fantastic.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. But then the Aussies, for what it's worth, are very defensive minded. They're counter punchers, so they're very difficult to score against, but who knows?
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah, I don't know anything about the strategy of soccer at all. I, I look try to put the
Joe Getty
ball in the back of the goal, Jack. Anything, all, anything else is just details.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah, but that almost never happens. See is the thing, if that happens, well, you gotta focus on it, you idiot. If it's gonna happen once over a 90 minute period, I don't know what to focus on the rest of the time. It's like watching soccer is like looking at a Jackson Pollock painting.
Joe Getty
For me it's just number one. You got to get the ball close enough to the goal to put it in the back of the goal. That's, that's like all the effort. Hey, kids, it's that time again.
Katie Green

Michael (Producer/Engineer)
Yeah, just a great job to every dad out there working hard to raise their kids and you are very much appreciated. So have a wonderful Father's Day weekend.
Joe Getty
Hear, hear. Jack, a final thought for us.
Jack (Armstrong)
Yeah, I wasn't gonna go this direction, but yeah, Father's Day, all it means to me is just a reminder that, yeah, I'm a father and I can't imagine my life if I weren't. I mean, I literally cannot imagine what my life would be or why I would get up in the morning if I weren't a father. That's just me personally.
Joe Getty
Boy, if you know everybody's dad was imperfect, it sure helps you forgive whatever shortcomings, whatever dad might have had too. You realize it's harder than it looks.
Jack (Armstrong)
Oh, my God.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And kids and dads rather. I know you know this already, but my God, enjoy your kids while you while they're in the house because they will go away if you're lucky. And then they turn on you. Those rotten bastards.
