Overview

This episode of Armstrong & Getty dives into the aftermath of the Super Bowl: from Olympic figure skating highlights to a detailed dissection of the game, halftime show controversies (especially Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish performance), a biting critique of LA’s homelessness spending, discussion of Super Bowl ads—including the “Fat Mike Tyson” spot—and a wrap-up of major global news. The hosts’ signature blend of sarcasm, cultural commentary, and political skepticism is on full display as they analyze mainstream narratives and poke at the absurdities of media, government spending, and pop culture.

Key Discussion Points

1. U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Triumph and Cultural Stereotypes

• Ilia Malinin (“Quad God”) delivers a boundary-pushing performance, landing multiple quads and an unprecedented backflip on one foot to secure team gold.
• Joe Getty marvels at the athleticism and notes the event was overshadowed by the Super Bowl’s timing.
• Jack Armstrong muses on the cultural make-up of male figure skaters, associating the sport with effeminate gay men but emphasizes respect for their extreme skills.
  • Quote: “Spectacular athlete...you get to wear a lot of sequins.” (Jack Armstrong, 04:15)

2. The Super Bowl: Gameplay, Halftime, and Ads

The Game

• Described as lackluster and reminiscent of old-school, low-scoring NFL games—contrasting with the high-scoring, pass-heavy modern era.
  • Quote: “That was one boring game...Yay. Another field goal.” (Joe Getty, 06:13)

Super Bowl Halftime Show: Bad Bunny Controversy

• Whole halftime show performed in Spanish, with plotlines and messages most viewers had no access to due to the language barrier.
• Hosts question the lack of subtitles or effort to include the majority English-speaking audience.
• Armstrong frames this as “giving the finger” to traditional viewers in favor of global marketing and multicultural signaling.
  • Quote: “You made no effort...not even the tiniest effort to appeal to me and my family.” (Joe Getty, 36:38)
• The political undertones (immigration, open borders, anti-ICE) are discussed, along with accusations of media bias conflating “right wing” with any criticism.
• Hosts acknowledge Bad Bunny’s global star power but find the communication choice divisive:
  • Quote: “The message is learn Spanish, bitches.” (Jack Armstrong, 38:00)

Super Bowl Ads

• Discussion of the most popular ads: Michelob Ultra, Duncan (Dunkin’), Pepsi, Lay’s Potato Chips, and Budweiser’s patriotic Clydesdale spot.
• Noted trend of viewers disliking AI/tech ads for lack of entertainment value.
• Playful confusion—and mild exasperation—about the star-packed Dunkin’ “Deez Nuts” ad featuring Jennifer Aniston, Tom Brady, and others.
  • Quote: “I did not have Jennifer Aniston doing a Deez Nuts joke on my list…” (Joe Getty, 19:19)
• Armstrong is skeptical about pulling emotional heartstrings for junk food marketing.
  • Quote: “You tug on my heartstrings and sell me a bag of chips.” (Jack Armstrong, 20:58)

---

3. LA’s Homeless Spending: “Epic Failure”

• A deep dive into the recent California Post editorial, exposing LA’s $418 million 2025 homelessness expenditure as largely ineffective—only 10% reportedly moves people off the street “for good.”
• Armstrong outlines a cynical view: government inflates crises to funnel money to cronies, fueling a corrupt system that perpetuates, not solves, homelessness.
  • Quote: “It’s all a behemoth money pit that offers no light and no end of the tunnel.” (Joe Getty, 09:05)
  • Quote: “There are the cynics or activists...and the fools...government exists...as a way to take money from the treasury after identifying a problem.” (Jack Armstrong, 11:33)

---

4. “Fat Mike Tyson” Super Bowl Ad

• Mike Tyson appears in an ad about obesity, describing himself as formerly 345 pounds, “eating a quart of ice cream every hour.”
• Hosts are shocked, skeptical, and somewhat bemused by the notion of the ex-boxer at that weight.
  • Quote: “A quart of ice cream every hour…that’s Mike Tyson during his Super Bowl commercial.” (Joe Getty, 42:15)

---

5. World News Wrap-Up

• Quick fire discussions:
  • Japan’s young generation throws overwhelming parliamentary support to new Prime Minister on a modernizing, anti-China agenda.
  • Deadly terrorist attack at a Shiite mosque in Islamabad.
  • Iran/US and Ukraine/Russia negotiations show apparent optimism but little movement.

Summary

In this post-Super Bowl episode, Armstrong & Getty offer a sharp, humorous, and at times caustic look at everything from Olympic feats and government waste to the multicultural flashpoints of American pop culture. Their breakdown of the Bad Bunny halftime show exemplifies their approach: asking who these cultural moves are really for, and who gets left out. The show is as much about examining media and political messaging as it is about dissecting current events. If you missed the episode, this summary delivers the essence of the discussion and the flavor of the hosts’ approach.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Announcer]

In figure skating. The USA gliding to gold in the team event tied with the Japanese team going into the final skate. It was all up to the US's superstar Ilia Malinin, known as the Quad God. And the only skater to have ever landed a quadruple axel in international competition. And if you're wondering how does Ilia do it? Well, he told us that before every skate he eats chocolate.

[Joe Getty]

All right, so it's basically tied with Japan. Quad God's first Olympic performance is going to make the difference in whether or not we win the team gold medal or not. In he goes out there. Nobody's ever landed a quad. He does six or seven. There seems to be some difference. But six or seven of them. So many quads and a backflip which he lands on one foot, which nobody'd ever done before. It used to be illegal, for one thing, but aren't very many people that can do it legal or not. Just like, it's too bad that it happened after the super bowl when I think a lot of people were sported out because it's one of the most amazing performances in Winter Olympics history and just really, really something. I can't even imagine how you skate and do a backflip and land on, skate and skate off. It's just amazing. But you know, this is.

[Jack Armstrong]

I honestly am not trying to be controversial or certainly bash anybody because I love everybody. The consistency, which with the male figure skaters appeared to be fellows who said, I'm an effeminate gay man, but a spectacular athlete, right? I mean like mind bogglingly skillful athlete. What shall I do, right? Go to figure skating because it's like incredibly athletic dancing and you get to wear a lot of sequins.

[Joe Getty]

In fact, you're. Sequins are like part of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

So seriously, just, just culturally, psychologically, I think it's interesting. The guy's a fabulous athlete, God bless him.

[Joe Getty]

Thank you for representing the country. I don't want to come off as.

[Jack Armstrong]

Being negative about it.

[Joe Getty]

No, you'd have to. But you'd have to assume that he has the sort of skills that could make him a world class gymnast. Or a lot of different things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, but he goes to tennis like a fiend.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, because you get to wear sequins.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't want to put that fine a point on it, but yeah, more or less.

[Joe Getty]

We're going to talk a little more super bowl later this hour. We'll get into some more halftime show and your thoughts on it and people's comments on it and tear jerking ads for potato chips and all kinds of different stuff that was among after, after maybe the most exciting playoffs in NFL history. That was one boring game. This is what I was talking about a week or so ago when I said Joe and I are old. Those of you who are younger don't know. This is what the NFL used to be like. Well, that game yesterday is what like every NFL game used to be like. Lot of run, running into the pile yard, you know, field goals, low scoring, not a lot happening. That's what all NFL games pretty much used to be like. Then we all got used to the constant scoring, lots of passing. I mean, a running back won the mvp. When's the last time that happened? Anyhow, that was not exciting to watch and neither one of my kids had any interest. So I'm sitting on the couch, bloated from all that cheese dip for Michelangelo's Recipe, feeling sick to my stomach watching a boring game. Yay. Another field goal. Oh, another sack.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Well, that's exciting.

[Joe Getty]

Wanted to get this story on for you though. This is important. LA's homeless spending a Case Study and Epic Failure. This should matter to you no matter where you live in the country. Because an example of when do gooders take taxpayer money and start throwing it around, pretending they're trying to accomplish something, when I'm not even sure they have any interest in that at all. Sprawling homelessness is one of the most chronic frustrations in Los Angeles. This is from the new California Post editorial board. New York Post now has a California Post based in la. Now we find out that the LA City Council spent an eye popping $418 million on homeless services in 2025 alone. Almost half a billion dollars year. Almost half a billion dollars in one city in one year on homelessness. And it only got worse. Mayor Karen Bass and council members need to account for this, says the editorial board, and take responsibility for charting an effective course that centers on mental health and addiction treatment for those on the streets. Note that we can't say a more effective course because the current course isn't effective at all. A report this week from the City Administration officer found that LA has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the homeless program black hole with nothing to show for it. Of the more than. Of the more than $400 million spent last year in homelessness, just 10% went toward actually getting people off the streets for good. According to the California Post. There's a variety of reasons for that that we can get into in just a second.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah, and I would point out we're a year and three months from the end of 2024, barely. So what does for good mean?

[Joe Getty]

Sure, that's a good point. Wow. The vast. So the number should be inflated on the high end since for good could mean you've been off the streets for a month and a half.

[Jack Armstrong]

Year and a half, whatever. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

The vast bulk of money LA shoveled into homeless programs simply made it easier for people to be and stay homeless. That LA is an epic failure. According to the editorial board, it's a failure to meaningfully help 9 out of 10 of those that were on the street cycling people through temporary programs, rolling out laundry trucks for those on the street. Did you know that that's one of the programs they'll take in your laundry, your dirty clothes, wash them and give them back to you in la, that's part of the homeless program to help people out. So they. Well, you couldn't. How are you going to go to a job interview in dirty clothes? You know, would be the sort of tear jerking appeal. You would make sure that's where they're going. Junkies, you know, supervising areas where people sleep in the car so they have law enforcement or people acting as law enforcement walking the streets where people sleep in the cars so that they can stay safe to obviously make it easier to stay a drug addict and live in your car. It's all a behemoth money pit that offers no light and no end of the tunnel. And that's before we even get to the mayor's pet homeless initiative Inside Safe, which provides temporary motel rooms that cost taxpayers $226 per night apiece while solving little in the long room because long run because all it does is again make it easier to stay a drug addict. Half a billion dollars in one year with the homeless problem getting worse is really quite extraordinary. And people who think that doing the laundry of the, you know, let's just go back to the. The root of it that we always do, it's a bunch of drug addicts almost entirely, until we start calling it a drug problem as opposed to a housing problem, will never get anywhere because.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those who are not junkies can be helped by specific, carefully regulated programs. But, but then. So here's, here's the world's simplest to understand formula doing people's laundry for them. I know simple to understand formula about government. If they can sell the people on the idea that there is a crisis and that government can help solve that crisis, that gives them an unlimited platform to hand out money to their cronies. Now, like most things, it reminds me of the whole. I've got some great evidence that it is hardcore Marxist groups who are really pushing the demonstrations in Minneapolis. But in the same way you've got the cynics or the activists who are doing precisely what I suggested, they're exploiting this because it's a way to hand out taxpayer cash because nobody knows how it's spent, nobody tracks it. And then you've got the fools who are soft headed, soft hearted people who think we really do need to help these people. They're unfortunate. And that government official just said that they're going to help it, help the problem with these tax dollars. So I'm in favor of it for. I'm in favor of it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so you've got the two layers, the cynics or activists and the fools. And people assume everybody's sincere here and the fools are. But at the core of it, it's people who understand that government exists from their point of view as a way to take money from the treasury. After identifying a problem, it's the fact that people don't recognize it for what it is makes me insane. But it is something I must accept.

[Joe Getty]

So get him and out. Drugs in some cases, booze, needles, all kinds of your drug paraphernalia. Policing the streets so you can sleep in your car and know you're not going to get robbed. Taking up your dirty laundry and bringing it back clean to you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Send the laundry truck by my place. I spilled some barbecue sauce on my jeans at the super bowl party.

[Joe Getty]

What's the motivation for the drug addict to stop when you get no repercussions?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm staying in a free hotel room with free laundry, food, needles, other services. This hidden bottom thing I keep hearing about, I can't see it from here, right?

[Joe Getty]

That is amazing. And that's a tremendous amount of money. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Half a billion dollars in a year in LA.

[Joe Getty]

I'm looking up at the TV. They're showing the Mr. Beast Super bowl ad. I missed that one. I heard it teased. I don't know what he was advertising Mr. Beast, but he's one of your biggest stars. In the world that I'm sure a lot of people didn't recognize at all because they don't watch him on YouTube.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wouldn't know him if he walked in the room.

[Joe Getty]

Quite a few AI ads of various levels of troubling. That really bothered me. Did you see the ad? The ad for it was set in a Dunkin Donuts and it had been a young Ben Affleck and a young Joey from Friends and a young Ted Danson. Was that AI or was that the actors with AI or what was that?

[Jack Armstrong]

They were obviously altered through some technology to look very young again.

[Joe Getty]

You think they participated in that? I mean, I'm sure I could Google that. We have the ad. Well, yeah, I don't know if that's going to help me any. Yeah, answer my question. Did they. I mean, because that's a serious star power in that ad. What did they pay to get all those people to be in that ad if they were actually in the ad?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you gotta. Oh, you'd have to pay them. What do you mean? If they're actually in the ad? You can't generate George Jason Alexander's face and body and use it to sell Dunkin Donuts.

[Joe Getty]

So somebody had enough money to get everybody, including Rachel from Friends and Tom Brady, and everybody has a lot of money. And. And this would be the ultimate point. As somebody who's in the advertising business, I don't remember what the ad was for. I always wonder that about super bowl commercials.

[Jack Armstrong]

A lot of the premise was it's Matt Damon works at a Duncan, but.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but was it for Dunkin Donuts? Yeah, well, the ad was for Dunkin Donuts because there was something that ran at the end that I thought, what was this ad for?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know how I can help you.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not positive.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hit me over the head over it with it.

[Joe Getty]

Well, it had a different tagline than Dunkin Donuts though. At the very end of the commercial.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was the punchline to the joke, I think.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Man, they spent a ton of money on that one. Woof. The halftime show, it's getting so much attention. I suppose the NFL feels like that's a win, just that people are talking about it. I'm not sure that's true, but we get into that coming up and some of your texts, some of you love. I got to admit, I haven't come across anybody who liked it. I've come across people complaining about us complaining about it, but nobody that actually liked it, which is a different thing.

Well, this is my new boyfriend. How do you like these nuts?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm Tom Goodwill.

[Joe Getty]

Duncan. I did not have Jennifer Aniston doing a Deez Nuts joke on my list of things I expected.

[Jack Armstrong]

Subtle.

[Joe Getty]

And that's a lot of star power in that commercial. So USA Today puts out the ad meter every year. That's where they actually have focus groups turning the knob left or right watching the ads.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wait a minute. Is this another Jennifer Aniston joke about to happen?

[Joe Getty]

No. Here's your turn. These knobs, top five that people liked. Well, I'll tell you, the bottom are almost all tech AI stuff. So the the expert for USA Today said people did not like the tech ads. Which is kind of interesting. Wonder why people automatically rejected poor reacted poorly to any AI ad. Your top five. Michelob Ultra, the Ultra instructor. Humorous take on fitness training themes. I missed that one. Sorry. Duncan was number four. The one we just played Pepsi. The choice that was with a polar bear. With the polar bear. Exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Clever.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, poor polar bear got caught up on the kiss cam at the concert with another polar bear. Number two though. Most popular ad was the one that I hated so much. The lay's potato chip ad. An emotional father daughter Potato farm story that tugged at heartstrings. I only reject it because, I mean, if it were a movie that ended with the farmer given the farm, that's fine. You know, it's a little schmaltzy for me, but that's fine. But then when you try to sell me freaking potato chips, right, you tug.

[Jack Armstrong]

On my heartstrings and sell me a bag of chips.

[Joe Getty]

Ultra processed stuff I should never eat. And I love lay's potato chips. I don't know why that just seems odd to me. There's no emotion involved in a potato chip at all.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, I had an explanation for the AI ad unpopularity and that just absolutely made my point. A lot of, not all of them, but a lot of them were fairly straightforward, saying, here's what we do and here's how we do it. Interested? Here's the company, which is not a lot of entertainment value for the sort of people who went gaga for the freaking potato chip ad, right? Wasn't meant for them.

[Joe Getty]

And number one, Budweiser, American icons. A stirring patriotic ad tying the brand to American icons like Clydesdale's and bald eagles.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, that settles it.

[Joe Getty]

So did people watch that ironically, like it on an ironic level or just completely seriously in that I love the Budweiser ads, America. And then a bald eagle riding on the horse. Why don't I munch it? That's when the horse started flying.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why don't I munch on a bag of potato chips and think about it? About my answer to your question. Yes, people, I think that the ad meter people took it completely sincerely.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

The little horse is helping the little bird learn to fly. That is so sweet. It's not at all a giant international beer corporation trying to manipulate my emotions. But I'm not a cynical man. I have hate brimming in my heart.

[Joe Getty]

About the ads where we're all supposed to get along and like each other and all that sort of stuff.

[Jack Armstrong]

F you. That's what I say to those ads.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, we'll talk a little bit about Bad Bunny. Some of your responses coming up in a little bit.

[Jack Armstrong]

I found it perfecto.

[Joe Getty]

I. I don't know what it was about because I don't speak Spanish.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're still here. Spike the football. We're still here.

[Joe Getty]

I. That was the ending of the Bad Bunny halftime show. I'd be offended or, or in agreement or mystified if I understood a single word of the whole thing. But I don't speak Spanish, so I don't. I don't know what. I wouldn't know what was happening. And I don't feel like it's something I ought to do to go try to figure it out. So it's just. It was. Wasn't for me. I guess I'm not annoyed by music I don't like. Like, I guess most people are. I guess that makes me rare.

[Jack Armstrong]

People unite more quickly among. Around things they don't like than what they do like. So it's a big conversational topic. I get it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I don't. I don't understand hating someone else's music tastes, but I just assume, oh, that's not for me. It's not. Or you know, it's not my thing. So I'm sure other people enjoyed. But if it's all in a different language, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to be upset about, I think.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. The big German World cup game was the halftime was entirely in Mandarin. And all the Germans sat around saying, I have no idea what's happening.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. If you think it's just right wingers in America, go ahead and do what Joe just explained at the big Giant biggest soccer match they have that year in Germany. Have it in some other language and see if they just accept it because multiculturalism on its face is just wonderful. Or obviously try it in China or anywhere else like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

So I was reading the New York Times review of the halftime show, which is about what you'd expect it to be. Just absolutely loves it and it's explaining all the intricacies of it. And it was pretty intricate, I guess. Although I don't know what you accomplish if 90 plus percent of your audience has no idea what you're saying and what's going on. And those numbers are literal. I did some research on it last night because I was wondering how many people are Spanish. Only in the United States. A lot of people speak Spanish. That number's not even that great. But a lot of people speak Spanish, but also English. The number of people that only speak Spanish is single digits. Best I could come up with.

[Jack Armstrong]

And as I pointed out, Telemundo had the broadcast entirely in Spanish. And you know, during only English things, they would have Subtitles and the part.

[Joe Getty]

That bothered me the most was I knew the music was going to be in Spanish, but I didn't know it was going to be basically a. A musical, like a play set to music. And they opened with a still shot with words on it to explain what the setting is, I guess, or what was about to happen. And it was an all Spanish, no subtitles. I mean, that is just letting me know you do not care whether or not I get anything out of this or not.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for the NFL and whoever was producing the halftime show to have it in English and Spanish. So did they feel like at least understood the premise?

[Joe Getty]

Did they feel like that would be insulting or caving to a certain community or something to put it in the subtitles?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. I truly don't. I mean, I've got a pretty strong opinion on all of this, including. It's a cynical but practical move by Roger Goodell to try to sell the game in the rest of the Americas and around the world. I get that. And he's given a finger to his traditional audience. But no, I don't understand why you wouldn't make that incredibly small, simple gesture of here's what's happening here to your English speaking audience, which is virtually everybody.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, I don't know what it said on that. Does anybody know what it said? But if it said a sugar cane field, Puerto Rico, 1975. Okay, I'm kind of interested in what you're going to show me then, even if I don't understand the words. But I didn't have any idea then. You didn't care whether I had any idea. New York Times critic, after a very, very, very long explanation of all the things that were going on, and there are tons of stars and people of note that he interfaced with that. I didn't know who they were or what was it about because again, I only speak English. For some, the mere fact of Bad Bunny's selection for the halftime show could only be read as a political statement. For some, it even inspired a counter programming event, the All American Halftime show, presented by the right wing organization Turning Point USA and headlined by Kid Rock. So the Kid Rock event is right wing, but the event that is in all Spanish and features dudes kissing and hinting toward open borders are good. And all this, that's not left wing. That's just mainstream entertainment that if I don't like it, there's something wrong with me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly right. Yes. You have explained The New York Times.

[Joe Getty]

Bad Bunny's tent was and always has been far bigger for far more musically generous and far more imaginative. Near the end of his performance, he shouted, God bless America, then ran through a list of countries that make up South, Central, and North America, from Chile all the way up to Canada. He held out a football that read together we are America, and then spiked it before his final song. So what is that message there? So he's saying, I love America, but by America, I mean the Americas.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Open the border. Yeah, yeah. Like the football said, together we are America. And then spiking the football, ending with, we're still here. We're still here. Meaning, you know, Fu. Ice. Fu. Trump administration.

[Joe Getty]

There was a narrative through the event which went from a proposal to a wedding to the appearance of a child watching Bad Bunny's Grammy acceptance speech, which, of course, he said ice out. So he didn't say ice out during the performance yesterday, but he had a little kid watching him say ice out. So that was. And.

[Jack Armstrong]

And a kid who looked precisely like.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, that's what the critic is about to get into. The appearance of a child watching Bad Bunny's Grammy acceptance speech. Though that thread online people speculated the young boy was Liam Coneo Ramos, the child at the center of a recent contentious federal immigration action in Minnesota. He was, in fact, an actor. But the confusion underscored the urge to apply an unwieldy political literalism to Bad Bunny's performance.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, so weirdly picked a kid that looked precisely like that other little kid.

[Joe Getty]

We're applying an unwieldy political literalism. That little kid who looked just like the kid from the big news story. I'm forcing that on this. That's not what you meant.

[Jack Armstrong]

And gave that little kid the Grammy Award, at which he referenced ice Out. That's right. Yeah, that's. Well, it's not wielding me.

[Joe Getty]

I'm reading.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're trying too hard.

[Joe Getty]

I'm reading way too much into this. Bad Bunny did not go to great lengths to do that. It's me and my weird racist. Oh, wow. It's your imagination.

[Jack Armstrong]

Your. Your paranoid imagination.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Isn't that something?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it is.

[Joe Getty]

And the New York Times guy reading it some online speculated that. Okay, yeah, well, all right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everybody at the party said, was that.

[Joe Getty]

That little kid with the floppy hat? Wow. So everybody foisted their racist political opinions on that event.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the word I would choose is unwieldy. Yes. I said, hey, stop that. It's unwieldy.

[Joe Getty]

Bad Bunny did something quite novel with his Super Bowl 60 performance turning into an extended presentation on how to make a global opportunity intimate, personal, and historically specific. Well, I'd have to take your. I'd have to take your word for it, because I don't speak Spanish, and again, so I don't have any idea what's going on, the stuff about that. So I wondered at one point, I did wonder, what's the deal? I think one of my kids said, what's the deal with the telephone poles? So I guess during the hurricane back in 2017, lots of the people up on the telephone poles trying to restore telephones and power and everything like that got knocked down by the hurricane and drowned or something like that. And somehow that's the fault of us not sending enough money to help with the blackout and colonialism or something?

[Jack Armstrong]

According to the New York Times, yes, colonialism, always. I'm not. I'm not somebody. If I was somebody and not nobody and I was in a meeting with Roger Goodell, I would work for weeks to learn Spanish. Everything that needed to be said, and I would just say it all to him in Spanish. Then he's like, what are we doing here? I don't speak Spanish. I'd say I give him the middle finger and walk out.

[Joe Getty]

It's interesting how people go into camps on this stuff, and maybe that's exactly what I'm doing. Although I feel like my camp is pretty easily defended, I don't.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. I would like to hear somebody in the other camp address some of the arguments we've made. I will listen patiently while you do.

[Joe Getty]

Just the very simple effect of, this is the biggest TV show of the year. It's entertainment. I don't speak Spanish, and you made no effort to bring me along for the ride. Even if you want to inject another culture into the show and think it'd be good for me, fine. But, God, make some effort to bring me along for the ride and tell me what's going on. But, nope, not a word. And then the other crowd is going with. If you aren't automatically wowed by this and saying historic and amazing, then you're some sort of caveman scared of brown people, you know?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, racist, nativist, whatever. Yeah. All right. Probably a Christian nationalist, whatever that is. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

And then people have always complained about the super bowl halftime shows. I mean, it's. It's. It's a practically a tired act. But I've seen some clips of various halftime shows from the past, and they had one from the. Must have been the early 2000s, probably. It was Brittany with Aerosmith Together at last some big time rapper. I remember it wasn't that singing Walk this way and I thought that is an attempt to appeal to the widest. Not whitesthe widest audience you possibly can with the whitest, you know, the young Sex Potter for the younger people, the ancient even then ancient Aerosmith and rapper and different people like that. Yesterday you made no effort, not even the tiniest effort to appeal to. To me and my family. Yeah. To do.

[Jack Armstrong]

But yeah, musically speaking, yes, but I get it. I mean Substandard Rabbit has been the number one streamed pop star. I'm not going to use artist always. I don't know. Number one streaming artist for four of the last six years.

[Joe Getty]

A buddy of mine texted me, he said if you have the chance to get the number two artist in the world for your halftime show, you do it, period.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Right. Oh yeah, I think that's absolutely correct. But the utter lack of any effort to bring the English speaking world along, that is inexplicable.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is not justified by any of the arguments I've heard made. It was creatively wonderful. You know, it brought forward the Hispanic point of view and the history of blah, blah, blah. Okay, fine. But why would you abandon the English speaking audience?

[Joe Getty]

I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, like you just said, I get so you one of the. So Taylor Swift, the number one artist in the world wasn't available. You got the number two artist, you know, why wouldn't you have that person? Come on. But if you're going to tell this tale about your homeland and why we should find it as magical as you do and here's the ways that you think it was wronged by whoever and you want us to know that. Well, I didn't learn in a single thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can only come to one conclusion. The message is learn Spanish, bitches.

[Joe Getty]

That's the way I took it. You don't like it? Learn Spanish.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like Jill Biden has.

[Joe Getty]

Perfect, Michael, it's perfect.

[Jack Armstrong]

No bueno.

[Joe Getty]

Those you are going with. And there's some people here in the radio station I'm hearing about there are going with it. Oh, it was magical. Why? What, what did, what did you get out of it? You don't speak Spanish. I know you don't. What did you get out of that?

[Jack Armstrong]

You went in wanting to love it. You loved it. It's as simple as that. Human beings are ridiculous creatures. I'm not a fan.

[Joe Getty]

I actually would kind of like to know about the history of Puerto Rico over the last several decades. I'd probably be interested. I'd read an article about it.

[Jack Armstrong]

In Spanish.

[Joe Getty]

No, right, right. Wouldn't that be funny? Somebody hand me here's the history of Puerto Rico since 1970 that he was telling about in Spanish. Okay, once again this is of no use to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Low quality hair did not impress me in mine.

My sister's name was Denise. She died of obesity at 25. She had a heart attack. I was so fat and nasty, I would eat anything. I was like £345, a quart of ice cream every hour. Okay, you can end it there. That's Mike Tyson during his super bowl commercial yesterday. I didn't know Mike tyson was ever 345lbs of ice cream every hour.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a hell of a wow.

[Joe Getty]

And it was. We need to eat healthier ad from, from the government. When was he that fat? I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Post retirement from boxing.

[Joe Getty]

Wouldn't we have known that? Wouldn't that have made the news or.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got no opinions on Mike Tyson.

[Joe Getty]

He had his Broadway played and all these different things that he had. I don't remember remember being that fat.

[Jack Armstrong]

Apparently it was started in the original Hamilton. Right.

[Joe Getty]

He was in hangover. He was thin. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Apparently it was from 2009 to 2010.

[Joe Getty]

That he was eating a quart of ice cream an hour. Whatever he said there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that he ballooned over £350.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Chocolate chip cookie dough. It's a fine ice cream. All right, blame him. All right. Fat Mike Tyson at the end of that. Okay. It's interesting that the government paid for a Super bowl ad. Eat better. I mean that's, that's surprising.

[Joe Getty]

Starring fat Mike Tyson.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. Quick roundup of stories that are probably much more significant than the Super Bowl. Although the idea of a country so steeped its young people anyway in self loathing that it would do what we just did is. That's a big story. But the new exciting prime minister Japan called for a snap election, which is the thing you can do in a parliamentary system and got the biggest majority of seats since that government existed post World War II. Huge mandate to bring Japan into the modern world and to stand up to China. Huge mandate. And interestingly, her support among the young is between low 80s to 90% among young voters.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, that's interesting. So this is where it gets complicated. If Japan is all in on you ain't taking Taiwan and we're kind of if China really wants it, they're going to get it. What are we going to watch Japan and China fight it out and not come to Japan's aid when we do have a treaty?

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Which treaties are worth, you know, anything on paper?

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Right. Yeah, it depends when it happens to and who's in office, obviously, as the President has near carte blanche for foreign policy. Moving along, A terrorist killed at least 31 people in Islamabad, Pakistan after entering a Shiite Muslim mosque, opening a fire, then detonating a suicide bomb. Deadliest attack in the capital since 2008. The Sunni Muslims believe that that mosque and in general Pakistani Shiites are a human reservoir for potential recruits into Shiite militia groups fighting the Islamic State in Syria. But don't worry, Islam is just another religion like Christianity. The Iran negotiations have continued, everybody saying they've been very positive, although the US still demands a complete dismantlement of its nuclear enrichment. And Iran says that zero enrichment will never be accepted by us. And in the Ukraine negotiations, Volodymyr Zelensky says there is zero chance we will give up the entire Donbas. And Putin says unless you give up the entire Donbas, we have nothing to talk about. But everybody described those negotiations in positive ways as well.

[Joe Getty]

Putin bombed some more apartment complexes yesterday.

[Jack Armstrong]
