• Lead-in to later segments about monkeys doing math as a sign of the times.

2. Viral Video Culture & Decline of Authority

[04:02–07:59]

• The new “evening news” is just YouTube clips: “Whether someone gets flipped in the air by a bison or a giant truck is hanging off an overpass …” — Jack Armstrong [04:02]
• In-depth on a viral incident: A man at a Madison police press conference grabs the mic, rants anti-Semitic and anti-police slogans.
• Critique of the police chief’s passive reaction:

  “The police chief stepped aside, put his hands in front of him as if he was a child in church. … It disgusted me.” — Joe Getty [05:12]

• Discussion of media and societal tendency to treat anger as inherently valid, regardless of message or method, especially on the left.

• “There is an actual presumption on the left that if you are angry, you are right.” — Joe Getty [07:39]

3. Public Health — Cyclospora Outbreak & Media Frenzy

[08:01–10:01]

• Ongoing coverage of a stomach illness outbreak, with joking about the media latching onto the topic (and product sponsorships with Imodium).

5. Cultural Reflections — Movies & Emotional Impact

[15:20–16:57]

• Conversation about seeing “The Odyssey” on full IMAX, drawing a parallel to “Schindler’s List” for its emotional weight.

6. Major News Stories with Heather Myers

[17:10–21:38]

• Iran War Escalation: CNN, CNBC, Fox all focused on oil prices and economic hit. The hosts lament media’s narrow focus:

  “I don’t remember any other war in my lifetime the main focus being what it costs.” — Jack Armstrong [18:06]

• Trump’s Economic Policies: New tariffs and their legal standing, Trump’s interest in tariffs, and a press dinner appearance.
• Domestic Policy: LA’s homeless crisis continues despite billions spent, with Mayor Bass blaming federal actors:

  “The more lavish the benefits for being a junkie, the more junkies you get.” — Joe Getty [19:34]

• Odd News: Michelin-starred chef faces jail for serving ants; ASU launching a “content creation” (influencer) degree; Gen Zers going into debt over group activities.

7. Trades vs. College – The Great Debate

[25:31–35:39]

• Dissection of a New York Times story about Gen Z entering trades, and their parents’ outdated snobbery:

  “How could you possibly think it’s better for your kid to go to college ... and then come home and be a barista?” — Jack Armstrong [29:56]

8. Colleges as Customer Service Centers

[36:30–38:52]

• Joe draws a parallel between cruise ships tolerating dress code violations (for customer satisfaction) and universities tolerating academic slackness to keep “high dollar customers” happy.

  “They’re not going to offend the little snowflakes or Mom and Dad who are cutting at least part of the checks ... because they want their high dollar customers to give them good reviews and keep coming back.” — Joe Getty [38:24]

9. Listener Mail (“Mailbag”)

[43:35–48:07]

• Communism quote:

  “Communism is a kind of warfare we don’t understand or know how to cope with. … sabotaging our educational system … All this cleverly disguised as a harmless political party.” — Herbert Armstrong (read by Joe Getty), [44:02]

• Anti-Semitic troll mail: Hosts read and mock hateful listener messages, highlighting ongoing presence of conspiratorial hate.
• On the Odyssey: Listener recommends "O Brother, Where Art Thou" as a modern retelling for “starter Odyssey.”

Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Live from Studio C. Si Senior.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's Friday and we're deep in the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communication compound. And today we're toiling under the title

[Joe Getty]

of the show Ticks and Bears and Monkeys doing Math. Is this the apocalypse? Or if you prefer, who sees your daddy? Ah, struggle with that one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Who sees your dad?

[Tony Ayo]

Who's.

[Joe Getty]

Who sees your. That doesn't really work, does it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Out loud.

[Joe Getty]

It looks better in print.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hooties you're looking at. No.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Who. Who see do you think you are? That's. That one's better. That is. Can I change that one for the record? There you.

[Jack Armstrong]

When we edit the show together for the final take. Who the. You Think you are or something?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, close enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

What's the ticks and bears?

[Joe Getty]

Ticks and bears and monkeys Doing math. Is this the apocalypse? I believe it is, yeah. There are. There's an enormous explosion in ticks and tick borne illnesses in the midwestern United States and the east, thanks to warmer winters and an explosion in the deer population. White tailed deer in particular, I believe. And there's a story out of the Lake Tahoe area that the number of bear encounters is skyrocketing. For reasons I don't recall. I think they've joined together in a war against us.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're angry, but they've had enough.

[Joe Getty]

I'll recheck the article. I don't know. They can't bear it anymore.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're tired of this square.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was too hot, it was too cold. It wasn't just right at any point. Now they're angry.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly, exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, well, I'll watch out for all those things. And then we got the story we'll get to at some point about monkeys are doing math or whatever that is.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, indeed. Yes. And a higher math too. The sort of math that progressives don't want in schools anymore. Because if everybody can't do advanced math, nobody should. Which makes me want to punch heads.

[Jack Armstrong]

So, as we've mentioned many times, the evening news of whatever kind of news you take in is a series of YouTube videos now. And everybody has roughly the same ones every day. Whether someone gets flipped in the air by a bison or a giant truck is hanging off an overpass, airplane has to land on a highway, airplane has. Anything with an airplane gets moved to

[Joe Getty]

the front or significantly. Oh, go ahead.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of the viral videos yesterday was some guy taking over a press conference with the cops up in Madison, Wisconsin. There was a shooting. It's another one of those shootings where they're trying to turn it into a George Floyd thing. And I have no idea if it's of that level or anything like that. Sure doesn't look like it. But I wasn't there. And we'll always get more angles, more details. But anyway, so the police are explaining the press conference and some guy starts screaming anti Jew stuff, anti capitalism stuff, and then walks over and just grabs the mic from the police chief and takes over the. The hair, the press conference. And. Well, and I thought, what. What is happening to the world?

[Joe Getty]

What was more horrifying than that? Because. Okay, great. So he did that was the police chief stepped aside, put his hands in front of him as if he was a child in church. And kind of hung his head and waited for the guy to speak submissively. It disgusted me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's what I mean by, I mean you, you shouldn't be able to even get to the guy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop right where you are. What are you doing? You don't just get to march up to.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

He marches up, pushes the guy aside and starts bellowing on about cops are shooting down white black people in hunting black people and all the stuff that, yeah, people say about these things. And I know a little bit about

[Joe Getty]

the politics of Milwaukee and that was a just disgusting, beautiful moment of, oh, he's angry and is black. He's black. So we need to just hang our heads and listen to him and not resist in any way. We can't, we can't. Because of systemic racism, I, the police chief, I'm going to meekly submit to an anti Semitic communist lunatic

[Jack Armstrong]

or anyone with any idea. You don't get to do this. I don't care what you're, what you're about to spout. You don't get to walk up and take over. But you know, piece of everything where there's just no consequences for anything anymore.

[Joe Getty]

Right, exactly. Consequences are seen as somehow oppressive. If the guy were to yell, give me the mic. And he ran up and he said, listen, the police try hard, they've got very difficult jobs, but at the same time, sometimes there is police brutality. So we need to, in a sober and even handed way, investigate what happened. Let's rely on the facts. Let's all keep even.

[Jack Armstrong]

If that was his message, you can't

[Joe Getty]

just grab the mic. And the police chief says, well, I guess we gotta let him talk because he's mad and oh my God, sir, surrender your gun, your badge. Don't bother surrendering your balls. You don't have any. Just please leave the country or just

[Jack Armstrong]

get away from my vision ever again. Well, and all the other cops in the room who let the guy just keep bellowing and walk by them is, nobody's hungry and he's black. Nobody can do anything. And so the portrayal in the news was so annoying because the news showed this as if, you know, well, it makes sense that the guy took over the press conference and grabbed the mic from the police chief and took charge because he was angry. Nobody's saying, what the hell is this? What is going on here?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, there is an actual presumption on the left that if you are angry, you are right.

[Jack Armstrong]

And a presumption by the media, which

[Joe Getty]

is the left, I guess, right Absolutely. You've noticed. Wow, that's really.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll play a little of the audio, but it's the visual that's amazing. It's just that was it stuck in my mind the most yesterday? What the hell is happening?

[Joe Getty]

I was horrified by it.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we got another outbreak of the ED and it's not a rectal dysfunction. I don't want to be the first

[Joe Getty]

to say it today.

[Jack Armstrong]

We've had it on the air every single day out for I think two weeks.

[Joe Getty]

Just say cyclospora and its well known effect.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it's well known effect.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's. That's the one I was thinking of.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't want to get it, I'll tell you that.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, no, it sounds horrifying. On the other hand, I just came across an interesting perspective that this story is extremely overblown by virtually anybody's standards, but it's a chance to bash the Trump fda, so. Oh, is that what's driving Lefty? Media is super enthusiastic about it.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what's driving.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not sure I buy that entirely.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know either because the media seems. Seems to be really excited about talking about explosive diarrhea.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God. It's. We're not even 10 minutes into the show.

[Heather Myers]

Just.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can check that box. I've said.

[Joe Getty]

What are you getting paid by the Imodium people for your mentions or what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. I used to use Imodium a lot. That stuff will work. By the way, if you're ever in a situation where you think, you know, I got a long flight today and then I got a business. You take that stuff. You are stopped up for the next 24 hours. Not. Ain't nothing happened. And I don't care what your situation is.

[Joe Getty]

You got a headache, you take some Tylenol, might help. You got an upset stomach, you take some Pepto Bismol, might help. You got the runs. You take a modi mad. You couldn't. You couldn't poop for $1 million.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's back when I drank a lot and had convinced myself I had something other than drinking too much.

[Joe Getty]

You have an irritated lower intestine. Trust me, I'm familiar.

[Jack Armstrong]

Haven't needed it since. Yeah, that stuff will do the trick if you're ever needing it. So that. Yeah, I'm on. I'm on the take from them. That's why I talk about this story every single day now. It's expanded from the lettuce as you mentioned yesterday, to other things. It's just whatever. So it's over. It's overblown, you're saying.

[Joe Getty]

Well, that's the perspective I read.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought it was the biggest outbreak of this sort of thing we've ever had.

[Joe Getty]

It is. Well, nobody. Nobody has died. Was one of the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I don't need to die. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I definitely reject this premise and the fact that people aren't dying. It's not. It's not an interesting story then.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, you changed what I said. Did you see that, Michael? You see where he moved the goalpost there? He attacked me for something that never left my mouth. Here's what we're dealing with, folks. Here's what we're dealing with. Side deals with the Imodium people. And then this. This filth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, we gotta start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, July 24, the year 2026. Almost said 7. We are Armstrong and getting. We approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Let's begin then. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. Leaping into action at mark.

[Jack Armstrong]

Researchers in Pennsylvania released a study this week that found that monkey brains can do geometry. They figured it out after being completely hustled at pool. I'm gonna use that on kids. What is this grade Monkeys can do geometry. Get in there and study.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, they had. They. They were showing monkeys shapes, and then they changed the size and flipped it upside down and that sort of thing and then asked the monkey to identify the shape again in exchange for a delicious grape or peanut or something. The monkeys were quite good at it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yep. I'm using on this. On my. I'll have a freshman and a junior in high school. Monkeys can do this. What is your excuse?

[Joe Getty]

That's good parenting.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've seen monkeys do better work.

[HeroBread Announcer]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah, that's good. It's a good, solid belittling. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, well, let the world move forward now that we've know that monkeys are good at geometry. Fantastic. Give me a grape. That's a rhombus. Give me a grape. We got headlines on the way. We got clips of the week today, and we got lots of good stuff. Hope you can stick around.

[Jack Armstrong]

This afternoon, in one of the few IMAXes in America that allow the full IMAX showing of The Odyssey. My 14 year old and I are going. But what a friend told me about his viewing of the Odyssey yesterday. Got my attention.

[Joe Getty]

Talk about that later for you. Reactions? Yeah. Did you say one of the few outlets that's allowed to show it that can.

[Jack Armstrong]

There are only there aren't very many of your full IMAXes that can show a widescreen movie.

[Joe Getty]

I didn't know that.

[Jack Armstrong]

In the whole country. I didn't know that either. And one of them happens to be in this town that we live in.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Excellent. How exciting for everyone involved. Yeah. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I'm thinking about going this weekend if I can grab a ticket.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Tony Ayo]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what now. And he's a Kelly Brothers friend, a friend of the Armstrong smart guy. He and his wife and I think kid went, he said he was rattled for a long time. Said his wife took his wife like a day to get over it, he said. I said it's like I felt the same way as when I walked out of Schindler's List. I'm glad I saw it. But I wouldn't want to have to do it again. Like in terms of the heavy drama, killing, dealing with all wrestling with life's issues sort of thing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You got to be in a certain mood to want to do that.

[Joe Getty]

And some of the worst of humanity too. I mean, I guess we'll see. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Well, yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I've got to decide whether I have it in me. I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we not have Heather today?

[Joe Getty]

I don't.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or do we have Heather today?

[Joe Getty]

What's.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, okay. Okay. Okay, Gotcha. Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's lead story with Heather Myers.

[Heather Myers]

Hey, Heather can't get ready yet. Good morning, guys. Jack and Joe, let's talk about some of the headlines this morning. CNN says the Iran war is entering dangero new phase. Oil could surge to record high. From CNBC, oil prices ease but are set for 10% weekly gain as Trump mulls bigger than ever attack on Iran. And from Fox News, the overlooked way the Iran war is making groceries, Amazon packages and new homes more expensive.

[Jack Armstrong]

The, the mainstream media's obsession with the price of gas and oil for this war as opposed to life and death and who wins and whether or not they get a nuclear weapon. I just, I don't get that. It's like the only issue about the

[Joe Getty]

war is the price of gas right now. I'm not on that team, obviously, but I think we are about to see a pretty good economic headwind because of oil prices in a way we haven't yet.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't remember any other war in my lifetime. The main focus being what it costs. Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Who's dying to? Who's going to win? Global geopolitics, the price of gas, groceries all the time.

[HeroBread Announcer]

All right,

[Heather Myers]

from CNBC, Trump to slap sweeping new tariffs on 60 trade partners as global duties expire.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought the Supreme Court said he couldn't do that.

[Joe Getty]

Heather said duties. Yes. It's using a different authority that is more legally defensible. It's some temporary stuff. It's also a stretch in my mind and Trump's fascination with tariffs is misplaced, but I've made that clear in the past.

[Heather Myers]

The Guardian is reporting this morning that Trump to speak at the White House press dinner rescheduled after the shooting. He is going to speak scheduled to take place tonight.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought I had just heard. Yeah, the new correspondence dinner because that guy ran through with a gun last time I heard on npr. The president, his wife, the vice president, his wife and Marco Rubio won't be there. But you're saying Trump will be there.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, yeah.

[Heather Myers]

That's the Guardian saying that. In fact, from the New York Post, shocking new figures show LA homeless count spikes despite billions poured into crisis.

[Jack Armstrong]

No way. You should have told me to sit down before you tell me that information.

[Heather Myers]

I write.

[Ashley Iconetti]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

The more lavish the benefits for being a junkie, the more junkies you get. Good Lord.

[Heather Myers]

Mayor Karen Basavelle meanwhile blaming Trump and federal cops for the sudden spike in the homeless count.

[Jack Armstrong]

Got to be kidding.

[Joe Getty]

You know voters who fall for that bull effort deserve the government they get.

[Heather Myers]

Amen. From the Associated Press. Average 30 year US mortgage rate climbs to the highest level in nearly a year. From News Nation this morning, FDA panel votes to add peptides to permitted list despite some scientists opposition.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm strongly against that or for it depends on what a peptide is. I'd have to look into it.

[Heather Myers]

It's so funny you say that because I keep researching it. Cannot get anybody to give me a solid answer as to what exactly was proof.

[Joe Getty]

Seed oils or you're supposed to gobble lots of this or less turmeric or whatever. I just please balanced diet, get some exercise

[Heather Myers]

the good old fashioned way is what you're saying. From ktla, Arizona State University has officially launched a new content creation major aimed at teaching students how to become a professional influencer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, it makes more sense than a lot of majors they have, I guarantee you that.

[Heather Myers]

From Kate. Also from Kate, La this morning, staggering 47% of Gen Zers have gone into debt after picking up the bill for group dinners, outings and travel.

[Heather Myers]

And finally from the Babylon beat this morning, Chicago mayor credits huge drop in crime to turning crime stat chart upside down.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's one way to do it. We got clips of the week on the way. One of my favorite headlines I saw yesterday and where we are with the war in Iran right now. Trump had a heck of a threat yesterday, whether or not he followed through on it, follows through on it or not. Who knows if you missed a segment of the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm pretty worked up about this article in the New York Times, the article itself and the way it's being reported and received. Turns out in this case, the young people are much smarter than their elders, their guidance counselors at school, and their parents and aunts and uncles in many cases, about what their future should be. I'll tell you what the headline is, roughly before we do clips of the week. It's Gen Z is turning to the trades but having a hard time convincing their parents. It's all about how disappointing it is that their kid is a welder instead of going to get a four year degree. Meanwhile explaining al in the article how they like a year training of a welder and they're making way more money than their friends are gonna make coming out of school and actually have a job which their friends won't have anyway.

[Joe Getty]

I will withhold my comments until after we take a fond look back at the week that was. It's cow Clips of the week.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's cow. They call it cowbow Clips of the week. It's CO. 48 nations began a journey. They crossed oceans. Spain for the second time in their history have won the World Cup. Iran, Great game. This AC unit is for you. Gracias, Mr. President. He's so cool.

[Klarna Announcer]

Another heavy night of US strikes against

[Jack Armstrong]

Iran and they want to make a deal. But I say they're not ready to make a deal.

[Klarna Announcer]

President Trump saying, from this point forward, anytime the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant.

[Jack Armstrong]

Their policy is an eye for an eye.

[Klarna Announcer]

The President's policy is a head for an eye.

[Joe Getty]

The beloved bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow. What's just happened to Jackie?

[Jack Armstrong]

We wish her well. We're hearing from the 65 year old man who got flipped 8ft in the air by a bike. They move faster than you could ever imagine. I go buff up fast.

[Coldwater Creek Announcer]

Cases of that parasitic stomach illness skyrocketing to record levels.

[Klarna Announcer]

And if you're gonna buy a street

[Joe Getty]

taco, buy a real street taco, not a. Not something from one of these, you know,

[Klarna Announcer]

I'll leave it at that. Democrats.

[Jack Armstrong]

Democrats are cowardly.

[Klarna Announcer]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

You know, when we're cheering for the Intifada, I gotta cut them out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Are you tired of sitting alone and

[Joe Getty]

being by yourself and having no one to talk to?

[Jack Armstrong]

Be a socialist.

[Heather Myers]

No one should have a right to a double digit return on their investment.

[Jack Armstrong]

No one has a right.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

That's not.

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[Heather Myers]

What are you talking.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

No one's in.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's not in the Constitution. It ain't a scary word.

[Joe Getty]

It ain't me taking your houses. Is democratic socialism compatible with capitalism in the long term?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, we're anti capitalist. To fight back against this Fascist regime.

[Joe Getty]

Socialism.

[Jack Armstrong]

This time it's really gonna work. Socialism. So that what socialism is it? Clips of the week. Socialism. This time it's really gonna work.

[Joe Getty]

I know, I know.

[Jack Armstrong]

So when you click on the story for the New York Times, it's mom, Dad, I want to be a welder. Gen Z is increasingly turning to trade schools in hopes of future proofing their careers against AI. But getting their parents and peers on board can be a challenge.

[Tony Ayo]

Challenge.

[Joe Getty]

Not sure I understand why this has fired you up.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm happy that it's happening. The. All the commentary about how disappointed they were and they're starting to come around to the idea that maybe, you know, it's okay that you're gonna do this as opposed to go to college.

[Joe Getty]

But has. Isn't that what we've been saying for years?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. What's what I want to happen? I'm doing the call your dog and

[Joe Getty]

they finally come to hit them thing we've been saying. The other thing we've been saying that so many people have an attitude that it's terrible if you get into trade.

[Jack Armstrong]

And they still do. That's what this New York Times article is all about. They still have this horrible art. And I just. I don't know where that comes from. How could you possibly think it's better for your kid to go to college and get a look around you over the last however many years? Look at your friends. Aren't. Haven't you seen your friends have their kids go spend all this money, go to school, get a degree, and you don't even know what that means, and then come home and stay there and go be a barista? So how could you possibly still have this attitude of, well, frankly, it's disappointing. I expected more of her. Is one of the quotes in the New York Times. Because they want to be an electrician. Are you kidding? How are you not just flat out thrilled that they're going to get a skill that they immediately get hired for? In fact, some of these skills are these schools that guarantee you a job you. If you just stick around here for a year. We guarantee you a position you can choose any of these five states to go to, and here's how much you'll make and that. And you still say to the New York Times, boy, I expected more out of her, but I'm starting to think maybe this is the best way in the current. Like it's just such a resignation for them to have to accept that this might be the only path forward. As opposed. As opposed to what? What have you seen in recent years? I just, I'm just, I'm amazed at how slow it is for some people to come around to this view. And then, you know, I signed my son up for school the other day, high school, and there's nothing on the website anywhere that even hints at the idea that you might not go to college. Every single paragraph about everything is about when you're in college.

[Joe Getty]

This.

[Jack Armstrong]

And this will help you get into that school. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Not even tip its cap toward the. It's for most people, I think today, for most people, it's a complete waste of time and money. And I think you can back that up with statistics.

[Joe Getty]

I would agree. I would agree for. Yeah, you just said most. Yeah, yeah. I think for a sizable minority, it's a good thing that they do. But. Yeah, okay, I'll go with you. Yeah. You know, it's often been said the most terrifying thing in the world would be to spend five minutes in somebody else's brain. I find myself wondering. And it probably. This probably doesn't describe the good folks gathered here. And thank you for listening. People who move through their day, their life, their decision, and they don't think about anything. They just do what they think they're supposed to do. And they never question college because they've heard that's the key to success. And so that just goes completely unexamined. And they go to the grocery store and the prices are higher and that's completely unexamined. And then they see a headline in the New York Times and they believe it and they don't think about it. I just. That that's the only explanation I can come up with. Or if they're not aware that a college education today is not what it was 25 years ago, they just haven't come across it.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it's certainly not what it was 40 years ago.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

This.

[Joe Getty]

This may be an interesting revelation to you may not be my darling wife who is a lovely person and has a good life and is happy and has friends and hobbies and the rest of it worked for a long time, doesn't work anymore. She's quote, unquote, retired, raised our children, blah, blah, blah. She has not seen the guy being flipped in the air by the buffalo even once.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good for.

[Joe Getty]

She remarked to me, good for her.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good for her to be living a lifestyle where that doesn't come across your transom or I don't know what the right word would be.

[Joe Getty]

That's a good word. Yeah. She said, just hasn't popped up in my Facebook feed, I guess because she looks at Facebook now and again to see what friends are up to, but. So is it possible you have an entire class of pretty decent people, good people, who just haven't come across the whole grade inflation thing, the grievance study majors are completely useless thing, the skyrocketing costs deal? I don't know. It's astounding to me that anybody could be there, but something's got to explain it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I live in a university town, and it might just be because of the kind of people I hang out with, but I know a number of people who teach at a major university who talk about how it's just the. The.

[Tony Ayo]

The.

[Jack Armstrong]

The grades are worthless. Everybody gets an A. If you give anybody less than an A, the pushback you get from the parents and the administration, like, why aren't you giving this person an A? What are you doing?

[Joe Getty]

And I created the problem for us.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I think they don't even, like,

[Joe Getty]

do the minimal work to do an A to get an eight.

[Jack Armstrong]

They cheat. No. Oh, my God. This. This friend of mine been teaching for. He's a PhD guy. He. He is telling me about how. How. How little to practically nothing some of the students have done from papers. Like, it's just clear they'd done nothing. And the pressure they were under to give the student an A on that paper, like, your big paper for the semester. And he was fighting it like, they clearly haven't done anything. They haven't read any of the work. They didn't put any. Any effort. But the parents were complaining, and the parents are paying, you know, $80,000 or whatever it is to go for four years.

[Joe Getty]

I. Yes, Michael. I would be so embarrassed if my parents got involved with me.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the other thing I did stop him during this conversation saying, how are you talking to parents? I'm positive my parents never talked to any of my teachers in college. That would have been hilarious. How would they have gotten a hold of them? Why would they have gotten.

[Joe Getty]

I picture me in my short pants licking a lollipop with a beanie on my head as my mommy talked to my professor.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good.

[HeroBread Announcer]

Lor.

[Joe Getty]

Humiliated.

[Jack Armstrong]

Regular part of college life now is the parents. That's. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

What are. What have we done?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

What have we done? I have a perfect metaphor for you after a word from Simplisafe. Home security. We all want to feel safe at home, of course, but for a long time, home security meant expensive monthly fees and ironclad contracts that Locked you in for years. I remember that. We choose and recommend Simplisafe because they offer a better way. Comprehensive protection sensors, cameras, 247 monitoring on your terms.

[Jack Armstrong]

What I always think about is when I was younger and I was starting to like, I go over to people's houses, everybody's the first house and that sort of stuff way back in the day. And they'd have a security system. And I just have in my mind so many couples like messing with the book and the thing and trying to get it to work and saying ah, screw it. On their security system. Simplisafe is simple to use. It's simple to set up. You can do it yourself. You will actually use it. And they're so sure you'll use it, they don't lock you into a contract like Joe says.

[Joe Getty]

And a lot of folks get a nice discount on their homeowners insurance. Ask your carrier. Right now, you good people get 50% off your new Simply Safe system at SimpliSafe.com Armstrong go to SimpliSafe.com Armstrong this weekend. There's no safe like Simplisafe. Here's your metaphor. Speaking of my sweet wife, we took a cruise for our anniversary on a very nice cruise line with excellent service and a nice boat.

[HomeServe Announcer]

Boat.

[Joe Getty]

And I had a butler. It was a dream come true.

[Jack Armstrong]

They have a dream come true having a butler.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah. It was one step away from a sleeve boy. I mean, so close, but not a human footstool. You know, still, in the future, I didn't have the nerve to ask. I'll bet if I had asked the gentleman, oh my God, I'm having trouble buttoning this little sleeve at the mid forearm. Would you assist me? He would have done it.

[Heather Myers]

Of course.

[Joe Getty]

He would have been my sleeve boy. Anyway, so the service was excellent. It was very nice. Very. A lot of nice people on board. But they have a suggested dress code for the evening. It's just, it's, let's all feel special, let's get a little dressed up. Let's not show up to dinner and flip flops in a T shirt. At least for a couple of nights. There were people who definitely violated that. They were not sanctioned, they were not shamed, they were not yelled at. I don't even know if they dropped him a tiny little note. Hey, just wanted to remind you, and I've seen it at golf clubs too. A little less there because they actually maintain rules, the luxury. And I was thinking about this a lot. The crews has decided any offense or disappointment to the rest of the people is not worth even taking a chance on alienating that high dollar customer. And so they don't, they don't say anything, they don't enforce the rules because they just want you to keep coming back and spending your money. That's what colleges have become. They're not going to offend the little snowflakes or mom and dad who are cutting at least part of the checks. You don't even have to do the work. They quote, unquote, demand kind of to get a good grade in the class because they want their high dollar customers to give them good reviews and keep coming back. But that is a perverse, the situation for a college or university to find itself in. That's the opposite of what it's supposed to be.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you're saying I should be happy that even at this incredibly late date in figuring this out, the New York Times is saying, you know, it might be a better idea to become an electrician than get a useless degree, even though they couch it in all kinds of quotes about disappointment, thought you could do better and all that sort of stuff. But they're bringing along that crowd that hasn't caught on yet, I guess.

[Joe Getty]

Well, right, exactly. If I've misinterpreted what you're saying, tell me, because I haven't read the article. It sounds to me from everything you've said, the article is, hey, New York Times readers, this knee jerk assumption that college is the only choice for everybody, not so much.

[Jack Armstrong]

Take a look at this. The fact that they're slapping their forehead. I can't believe this is true. Wait till you get a load of this. That's driving me crazy. How are you not aware of this? Yeah, look around you. Did any of your friends, kids come back home with a degree that when you hear the name of the degree, you can't even imagine what you'd do with that.

[Joe Getty]

Spend some time in the areas where people assume their children will go to the Ivy League and you'll get it yet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Okay, we got mailbag on the way and lots of other stuff.

that New York Times story we were talking about, we're getting some texts from people whose kids have or are getting degrees in. I don't know what's the right term for stuff, they call it the trades in the New York Times. But anyway, and what you're making, how much debt you have, how easy it was to get a job. So if you got any story like that, we'll talk more about that later. Text line 415295 KFTC here's your freedom

[Joe Getty]

loving quote of the day from 20th century evangelist Herbert Armstrong Communism is a kind of warfare we don't understand or know how to cope with. It uses every diabolical means to weaken us from within, sapping our strength, perverting our morals, sabotaging our educational system, wrecking our social structure, destroying our spiritual and religious life, weakening our industrial and economic power, demoralizing our armed forces, and finally, after such infiltration, overthrowing our government by force and violence. All this cleverly disguised as a harmless political party. Communism is a worldwide psychological warfare. He's absolutely right. Soviet Union knew they couldn't take us by force, so they tried to subvert us from within. Took a while, but it's working. Fight it, fight it. Mailbag Drop us a Note [e-mail] this is from Shiko Shit Sheba Trans is Jew. A Jew invented trans. The Jew is the only culture that believes in multiple genders. Everything you hate comes from the Jew, yet you love them. You are worse demons than Jews. At least the Jews are aware of what the do. Then he followed up not long after with you moronic cowards do not know that this recent Trend began in 30s Germany and one man fought it. Hitler. Hitler. OMG you disgusting liars. Magnus Hirschfeld. The Jews started trans. The Talmud speaks of multiple genders. I'm certain you just lost thousands of listeners by trying to pretend that they are so stupid to not know this.

[Jack Armstrong]

If this is a person trying to portray that sort of person, they did a really good job. It sounds sincere.

[Joe Getty]

It is. It is sincere. On a lighter notes. On a nighter note telling a nuts person they're nuts really doesn't do anybody any good. Eric writes. Hello guys. Since the Odyssey has been a daily mention, I wanted to chuck my fave film version into the mix. Come on. Oh brother, where art thou? George Clooney's portrayal of Ulysses Everett McGill is a torrent of character wrestling. Ethics, regret, passion, persuasion, love and pursuit. Here's the best lines Pete says, and I'd love to do my image imitation of Pete in the movie, but I won't. Well, hell, it ain't square one. Ain't nobody going to pick up three filthy, unshaved hitchhikers and one of them a know it all that can't keep his trap shot up. And Clooney's Ulysses responds. Pete. The personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment, but I would like to address your general attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lies of the GD field. Or hell, look at Delmar here as your paradigm of hope. Delmar says, yeah, look at me. Also, John Goodman is the Cyclops. Good times. Oh, I do. I love that movie. I've seen it so many times. Let's see. Matt Lancerveyor.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a. I think that's a good intro starter Odyssey. If you're trying to do the Odysseys

[Joe Getty]

well and it's just entertaining.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. That's what I mean.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Matt the land surveyor writes Listening to yesterday's fabulous podcast. Thank you. And was loving your discussion on living until the age 150. I'm personally on team I hope I die before 100 for the reasons you described. The human animal cannot handle handle much more than that mentally. But anytime this topic comes up, I ponder the same question. If science can make humans immortal, would the act of murder be that much more horrendous a crime? Let's see. In 10 years, say in 10 years, science creates a magic pill. Cheap enough, everyone can now live forever. Fast forward 500 more years, you're walking down the street. Since human nature doesn't change, you get stabbed to death by a junkie who's high on the new new new new new new super meth. Is it more of a tragedy that an immortal life is cut short short? Or morally, is it the same as if you get murdered today with an 85 year lifespan? More or less.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, if you cut me down and I'm 30 and I had 120 years to go based on the numbers we had yesterday, it's awfully no matter what.

[Joe Getty]

Does that mean there should be higher penalties for murdering a 25 year old as opposed to an 85 year old in the current day. It's an interesting moral question.
