---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. “Sound Fridge” & Food Habits

• Opening Banter: The co-hosts joke about cleaning out the "sound fridge"—a metaphor for clearing out saved funny audio clips ([02:16]).
• Relatable Comedy: Getty references a comedian:

  "I don't have any food, but I got all the things you put on food like ketchup, mustard, pickles. So if anybody brings any, bye. I'm ready to go." ([02:22])
  They both riff on the familiar state of a nearly empty fridge populated only with condiments.

2. Babylon Bee & Lesser-Known Biblical Miracles

• Getty reads comical headlines from Babylon Bee, poking fun at “lesser-known healing miracles” ([02:33]):
  • Peter’s hamstring healed
  • Noah’s hangover cured by a Denny’s breakfast
  • John the Baptist’s swimmer’s ear rebuked
  • “At least 724 out of 5,000 people fed were healed of their gluten sensitivity.”
• Armstrong and Getty laugh at the playful irreverence, with Armstrong affirming, “Yes, I see the Bible. That's right.” ([03:27])

3. Retro Pizza Hut Commercial & Trump Banter

• Armstrong introduces an audio clip from a 1995 Pizza Hut ad featuring Donald and Ivana Trump ([03:33–04:05]).
• The ad parodies eating pizza crust-first, “We eat our pizza the wrong way. Crust first, crust first.” ([04:01]).
• Getty notes, “It's a divorce joke with Donald Trump and his wife. That's right.” ([04:10])
• The co-hosts reminisce about Trump’s long celebrity and the controversy over his use of knife and fork with pizza:

  “Trump has been very famous for a very long time.” ([04:34])
  “That is kind of a Trump. Unless it's like fairly thick and burning hot, then it's defensible.” ([04:28])

4. Jerry Seinfeld on “Drink Culture” and Tech Convenience

• Armstrong introduces a Seinfeld bit lampooning modern drinks and technology ([04:42–05:25]):
  • Seinfeld jokes about Gatorade’s over-the-top marketing:

    "Three different Gatorades is the new commercial Gatorade series. You need three to survive, one to prepare, one to perform, one to recover. I just went from the fridge to the couch. How many electrolytes did I lose there?" ([04:47])

  • He jests about “hands-free everything” and our laziness with Amazon’s one-click:

    “You need me to click twice. I don’t even want it anymore. I'm not clicking.” ([05:18])

• Getty and Armstrong riff on their own first-world frustrations with payment technology:

  “If I have to take out my credit card like a caveman, I'm really gonna hate this.” – Co-host Getty ([05:31])
  “I had to take a knee. It was so tiring.” – Co-host Armstrong ([05:43])

5. Michael Knowles on Feminism and Happiness

• Armstrong plays a thoughtful audio segment: Michael Knowles on the “Sage Steel” podcast, discussing the decline in women’s happiness as feminism has risen ([06:09–06:55]):

  • Key point: “As feminism has increased, women have become less happy... It’s a paradox. We have more feminism and women are unhappier. ...because in the workplace [it says] female virtues are fake... only male virtues are valued.”
  • Notable quote:

    “Imagine if you told men for 50 years, the only virtues that matter are the womanly virtues. And your natural virtues are pointless... I think men would probably be a little irritated too, wouldn't they?” – Michael Knowles ([06:49])

• Getty and Armstrong agree, noting this devaluation of natural male traits has occurred in parallel:

  “That is kind of the message to boys for a long time.” ([06:58])

6. Annoyances in Podcast Production

• Armstrong and Getty complain about “overly loud music” playing under spoken-word clips:

  "We can't just pay attention to speech. We need to be entertained while we're listening to speech for 51 seconds. It's so annoying." – Co-host Armstrong ([07:08])

• They joke about mimicking this in real life, inserting music under conversations for dramatic effect ([07:20]).

7. AOC’s Speech & Political Riffing

• Clip of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s energetic speech about redistricting and national mobilization ([07:41]):

  "It is time for New York to pull up to Alabama. It is time for all of us to come to Georgia... and let them know exactly what they have on court with this injustice... They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened." ([07:45])

• Getty asks, “What is she talking about?” Armstrong clarifies: “Redistricting. There. All right, so AOC is gonna go lecture the South. Well, you'll be well received there, dear.” ([08:13])
• They reference similar “state name-checking” in political speeches (Howard Dean’s infamous scream vs. John Dean), teasing the performative aspects of such moments ([08:35–09:18]):
  • Armstrong: "That sounds like you leap out from a doorway to scare your buddy." ([09:18])
  • Getty: "God, you dick. You're gonna give me a heart attack." ([09:28])

[Co-host Armstrong]

From Gatorade to Pizza Hut. It's one more thing.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Co-host Armstrong]

One more thing.

[Co-host Getty]

This is a comedian I was watching the other day was talking about

[Guest or Caller]

we're

[Co-host Getty]

gonna clean out the sound fridge. And so reminding me the refrigerator. Some comedian talking about, I don't, I don't have any food, but I got all the things you put on food like ketchup, mustard, pickles. So if anybody brings any, bye. I'm ready to go. But other than that, I might be.

[Michael Knowles]

That's funny.

[Co-host Getty]

How about a little blasphemy before we get into one more thing? This is from the Babylon Bee with a list of lesser known healing miracles. The divine healing of Peter's hamstring. Never heard about that. Noah's hangover cured by a Denny's Grand Slam breakfast.

[Co-host Armstrong]

It doesn't hurt.

[Co-host Getty]

Severe case of swimmer's ear. Rebuked and departed from John the Baptist. He was in the water a lot, right? Judas's tennis elbow miraculously healed just in time to play in the Jerusalem Open. Hadn't heard that one. Jesus healed a Roman centurion's low T. Reversal of Matthew's male pattern baldness. I'll end with this one. At least 724 out of the 5,000 people fed were healed of their gluten sensitivity. Lesser known miracles, you see?

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yes, I see the Bible. That's right.

[Co-host Getty]

Thank you, Mr. President.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Speaking of Mr. President, why don't we skip to 11, Michael, we're going to clean out the sound fridge. Thanks. Metal guy, go ahead with 11. This is from 1995. Do you recognize these voices?

[Guest or Caller]

Do you really think this is the right thing for us to be doing?

[Co-host Getty]

Ivana, what will people think?

[Guest or Caller]

Let them talk. It's wrong, isn't it?

[Co-host Getty]

But it feels so right.

[Guest or Caller]

Then it's a deal. Yes.

[CarMax Advertiser]

We eat our pizza the wrong way.

[Guest or Caller]

Crust first, crust first.

[CarMax Advertiser]

I have the last slice, actually.

[Guest or Caller]

You're only entitled to half.

[Co-host Getty]

It's a divorce joke with Donald Trump and his wife. That's right.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Ivana Trump. God rest her soul. Is she dead? She may be.

[Co-host Getty]

I think she's dead, yeah.

[Co-host Armstrong]

1995, Pizza Hut Commercial at crust first. I remember Trump was assaulted verbally once for eating it with a knife and fork.

[Co-host Getty]

I think so, yeah.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yeah. That is kind of a Trump. Unless it's like fairly thick and burning hot, then it's defensible.

[Co-host Getty]

Trump has been very famous for a very long time.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yes, he has indeed. This is speaking of consumer goods, Jerry Seinfeld here.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Why the drink culture? Gatorade. Now, three different Gatorades is the new commercial Gatorade series. You need three to survive, one to prepare, one to perform, one to recover. I just went from the fridge to the couch. How many electrolytes did I lose there? We don't want to grip things. Hands free is. Everyone's looking for hands free everything. Whenever I go on Amazon, I always set that one click ordering right. One click, that's it. You need me to click twice. I don't even want it anymore. I'm not clicking.

[Co-host Getty]

I know. It's like the joke I always make when I'm paying for stuff with my watch, because I do with the Apple pay on my watches. Beep. And if it doesn't work, I always say to the cashier, if I have to take out my credit card like a caveman, I'm really gonna hate this. And they always laugh, but it just seems so oppressive to have to reach into my pocket.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Oh, I know. I realized I'd left my phone in the car. I had to bust out my wallet and then dig out a credit card the other day. Oh, my God. I had to take a knee. It was so tiring.

[Co-host Getty]

How many electrolytes did you burn off?

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yeah. So let's see. This is a more thoughtful piece of audio. This is Michael Knowles, who is appearing on the Sage Steel podcast, talking about feminism.

[Michael Knowles]

As feminism has increased, women have become less happy. There's a famous study came out of Yale, the paradox of declining female happiness, both in absolute terms and relative to men. Everyone's getting less happy, but especially women. They said this is a paradox. We have more feminism and women are unhappier. You say? Well, of course, because in the workplace, what feminism says is female virtues are fake. Nurturing, sensitivity, a kind of emotional intelligence. Not valuable at all. All that's valuable is the male kind of virtue. Aggression, physical strength. So women are expected to do both. Imagine if you told men for 50 years, the only virtues that matter are the womanly virtues. And your natural virtues are pointless. You're going to be expected to fulfill them anyway, but they're not to be valued. And you have to behave like a woman for 50 years. I think men would probably be a little irritated too, wouldn't they?

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Absolute.

[Michael Knowles]

Not surprising.

[Co-host Getty]

Yeah.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Well, that is kind of the message to boys for a long time.

[Co-host Getty]

That's exactly what has happened.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Co-host Getty]

That's the only thing that confused me about that is. Yeah, that's exactly what has happened.

[Co-host Armstrong]

As always, overly loud music running because we can't just pay attention to speech. We need to be entertained while we're listening to speech for 51 seconds. It's so annoying.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Do you do that in real life

[Co-host Armstrong]

and you're having conversation with somebody, you

[Co-host Getty]

just start playing music underneath? Absolutely.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host Getty]

Yeah.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Excuse me. I can tell you're drifting off. Let me play this song under what I'm trying to say. And again, overly loud. That was annoying. Speaking of annoying, ladies and gentlemen, we give you AOC it is time for

[AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)]

the north to pull up to the South. It is time for New York to pull up to Alabama. It is time for all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Mississippi. Mississippi. And let them know exactly what they have on court with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.

[Co-host Getty]

What is she talking about?

[Co-host Armstrong]

Redistricting. There. All right, so AOC Is gonna go lecture the South. Well, you'll be well received there, dear. Oh, the shouting name checking various states. Every generation gets their own X, Y

[Co-host Getty]

and Z. I have no stomach for a political comment after our radio show.

[Co-host Armstrong]

No, no, I just. It's the John Dean name checking states, yelling thing. But again, She should have thrown one

[Co-host Getty]

of those in Howard Dean. John Dean was the turncoat who did in Nixon, but that's a different story.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Yeah, he was three kinds of scumbag. But yeah, Howard Dean was who I met.

[Co-host Getty]

Hear that one more time. That's a good scream. That didn't sound. Make you sound crazy. That's what it was just unfortunate where the microphone was, like, placed just made him sound crazy.

[Co-host Armstrong]

That sounds like you leap out from a doorway to scare your buddy. That's the sort of sound you would make, right?

[Co-host Getty]

God, you dick. You're gonna give me a heart attack.

[Co-host Armstrong]

That's that scream right there. Yes, it is.

[Co-host Getty]

Drop down from the ceil.

[Co-host Armstrong]

Oh, boy. Jan and Dean there.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Well, I guess that's it.
