Available exclusively at Walmart nationwide. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. We've had discussions. You and I have had discussions. We thought we had that settled numerous times. And then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kiev and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over the street. And I say that's not the way to do it. So we'll see what happens with that. I'm very disappointed. I'm disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed in him. So we're going to have to look and I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave them to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer. What's going to happen? Okay, thank you very much, everybody. We'll see you. This is one of the building most interesting stories on planet Earth. I think the slow build to the United States being pretty damned involved in this. And I don't know, a lot of you who voted for Trump are not going to dig it. But, and whether this is whether he's playing a game or this is actually the way his mind works, I don't have the slightest idea. I just, I find it very hard to believe that a guy, if nothing else, Trump's deal is, you know, reading people, making deals, winning battles. You don't end up a billionaire real estate developer by being that unaware of people's obvious personalities. It just doesn't make sense to me. And like you misread Putin this badly. Yeah. The best I can come up with is he doesn't understand fanaticism, he just can't comprehend it. Whether it's ideological fanaticism, like Islam of fascists, because he's made noises like, you know, he'll just appeal to the mullahs in Iran that they can have a great economy and some profit and it'll be great. He can't understand anybody, anybody not just doing what's in their best financial interest, having anything that, in short, having anything elevated above Your financial interest doesn't make sense to him. I can't believe that that's the only thing I can come up with. Because, you know, your, your introduction, I think is quite correct. We are heading toward seriously enhanced involvement in a new turning of the, you know, new pivot point in Ukraine. And who. Where it goes, nobody knows. And Putin gets to say so who knows how he reacts and then where it goes from there. But we'll get plenty of chance to talk about that. A couple of things I wanted to hit I'm just going to go through like my notes from the weekend. Israel put out a. Or yeah, Israel put out a story about Iran's Supreme Leader. Don't know if this is true or not, but the Mossad put out a report that the Ayatollah Khamenei sleeps all day and when he's not asleep, he's high on a variety of substances. Now, the Mossad may have just put that out to poke him and make the religious zealots hate him or something. Or it may be true. Very well could be true. He's really old. He's rarely seen. It could be he's on medications that make him loopy or something like that. Or like burning the ganj. Is that what they're suggesting? Oh, they didn't mention a specific drug. Several people have told me. Have you seen it, Michael? You've talked about it before. That that new Billy Joel documentary is really good. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet, but I want to watch it. A couple people told me it's really, really good. Now, did it just coincidentally come out at the same time that he announced he's got a debilitating disease that will keep him from being able to play again? Is that just a coincidence? Probably. Wow. It's a hell of a promotion. It took a while to put together a couple hour long documentary. Hell of a promotion. But anyway. Wait a second. Promotion of what? The documentary. I feel like that's how I became aware of the. I see, I was looking at it backwards. Yeah, the way I became aware of the documentary was his disease. Anyway, the second label, this section of the podcast, Jack claims Billy Joel is faking a debilitating brain disease to promote a documentary. I am claiming that Disgusting. The second part of Billy Joel and so it Goes came out over the weekend and like I said, I've heard from people who really, really liked it. I hadn't heard this story before. Billy Joel reveals how Elton John and their feud led him to getting sober. So do you remember when it was Rocket Man Meets the Piano man, that tour. Back in the day, Elton and Billy Joel toured together, which I wish I'd have seen, but I didn't. Yeah, they did that a handful of times. Yeah. So successful. Well, apparently it ended because. Or at least one of the tours ended early because Elton got fed up with Billy either having to cancel shows or not showing up ready to play or whatever because he was drinking too much. And Elton called him out on that in a Rolling Stone interview. That really pissed off Billy Joel. How dare you, you know, air dirty laundry to Rolling Stone about this or whatever. But it led to Billy Joel deciding that, yeah, I'm out of control, I need to get my act together. And he went to rehab and has been sober ever since, according to Billy Joel. So that's kind of interesting. Tough love. Truth, Jack. Truth matters. Elton who looks like an old lesbian. Correct. Truth. True fact. Fact check. Elton John does look like an old lesbian. There's no getting around. That was the other thing I wanted to get on. Oh, and then. This is just dumb. So my son was having. I've been testing GROK and Chat GPT with various questions. So far. Chat GPT is getting the better of grok. Maybe I'm not using it for the right things, but my son was complaining of a pain that he's got underneath his lower right rib cage that's been persistent for several days. And my son is quite stoic about this sort of stuff. So, anyway, we're at breakfast yesterday and so I Chat GPT it, which is always a good idea. If you have any ailment whatsoever, just ask the Internet. You're sure to get good advice and not make you freak out at all. But anyway, the leading suggestion from ChatGPT was something called intercostal muscle strain or slipping rib syndrome, which we got. We got a big laugh out of that. Hold still saying, oh, my God. Slipping rib syndrome, srs. Yeah, of course you don't want to have that. The most likely thing is a kidney stone, which my son would rather. He said, I'd rather step in front of a train than pass a kidney stone, from what I've heard about it. But slipping rib syndrome, Are you familiar with this? How long would it take around on you? I want that. Well, back in the day, it'd probably take a visit to seven different doctors to get that diagnosis. But these days, they hit the artificial intelligence, too. The docs do. Yeah. Yeah. I was listening to a podcast about AI as I do a lot. I don't know if it's just zeitgeist kind of comes in waves. But I feel like the current zeitgeist wave is away from AI immediately taking over the world and upending all of society and more toward it's been oversold. It's got all kinds of flaws. If it happens someday, it ain't going to be soon. So I just feel like there's more of a flow that direction doesn't mean it's true at all. It might just be a, you know, the thing we talk about. Like a trend gets hot, then there has to be a backlash to the trend and then there's a backlash to the backlash. That's just the way things go. It might just be that with AI, but there's a lot of AI crap out there. Yeah. And we've gotten some really, really interesting emails from folks in the know, including I'm holding in my greasy mess right now a three pager, including a bunch of stuff from AI interestingly enough from Bob, who had a 30 year career in IT and like sophisticated stuff. He did not work at, you know, Radio Shack, then Best Buy. And how did your career change from getting a screwdriver to get a floppy disc out of something to whatever was going on more recently? Do you want to hear what he has to say? Absolutely. We could hit that. A couple of really interesting perspectives. Plus I want to hear about the woman with the world's largest lips. Or was it the world's largest woman with lips? I can't remember. You've mentioned it several times. It was the former, not the latter. Yes, and I saw one, a person similar to that over the weekend. And what my said son said will shock you. Actually won't. If you've ever listened to the show, we got a lot on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Life's messy.

So far, a record eight films unleashed on the box office have been filmed for IMAX and released in IMAX theaters, bringing in a $700 million global haul with 1.2 billion projected for the whole year. And for you film fanatics that love the experience, there are seven more movies filmed with IMAX coming out this year. That's almost double what came out in 2024. Way more movies filmed to be aired at IMAX. I've never seen a regular movie at IMAX. I've only seen, you know, like space or underwater or various things like that. I've never seen a regular movie. I don't know what it'd be like. Yeah, it seems to me I saw one of the. Was it the last series of Star wars movies or. I can't remember something like that, but it was years ago. You have Katie. I think, I think it was this. I think it was the Star wars movie thing too. And I just remember my neck was killing me. I was actually wondering that is it too much to like looking around everywhere? Is it work? I remember it being a little overwhelming, but I haven't really been back. It's probably improved, I would imagine. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Almost certainly. Yeah. Anyway, speaking of looking at screens, we were talking about AI as we often are. And I mentioned we've received several just terrific emails from folks in the know, including JT and Livermore says we have to stop. And this is one of the great difficult to pronounce words in the English language. Anthropomorphicizing. LL M A I. I love language model. I love that word in the concept. I. I would use it more often if I could say it. Anthropomorphizing. Anthropomorphizing. Anthropomorphizing. It's like sometimes when I have to introduce somebody with like incredibly difficult name to pronounce. I'll try. I'll practice it several times before we go on the air. Anthropomorphizing. Anyway, that's turning something that's not human into a human. It's like every Disney cartoon ever made with talking beasts, for instance, that is the aforementioned anthropomorphicizing. Anyway, he says part of the problem in dealing with all the things AI related is that the language we use is not really a precise or accurate portrayal of what an LLM AI is really doing to perform its functions. Even the name is a mixed characterization. To be an artificial intelligence implies that it has some kind of intelligence. It does not. It has zero intelligence. It an incredibly complicated statistical handling algorithm. For example, the LLM AI hereafter referred to as AI, thank you. Does not understand that two plus two is four equals four. But given that it has access to billions of bits of information related to two plus two equals four, it is a virtual statistical lock that the AI will correctly present you with the correct answer. But if you ask it to prove that two plus two equals five, you're looking at a statistically low probability request. It might offer a hallucinate. Hallucination. That hallucination will be the most likely statistically based answer that the algorithm can come up with. It isn't trying to lie, it isn't trying to cheat. In fact, even that term hallucination is prejudicial. It's not capable really of making something up because as I said, it is just one giant super complicated statistical analysis algorithm. It is difficult to break out of the idea of treating it like it's alive. Mentally, it's hard to do. And it's designed to try to pretend it's alive. I mean, at Grok especially, I noticed when I. If you ask Grok a question, I'll say that's a good question. Here's what I found out. You know, why did the. Why did. Why did an algorithm just say to me that's a good question, like it's a person? Yeah, wish I knew anyway. And then JT is charming. P.S. sorry, sometimes I think I have a really great point and I'll be able to explain it really well and it just doesn't happen. Blah blah blah. Still, I'll be people if happy if people realize that AIs are not intelligent in any way, much like a trans woman. LLMs are trans intelligent AI. Fake intelligent. Oof. Didn't need to take a shot at the trans community in this explanation, did we? Do they actually have a community? Where do they hang out anyway? What AI is and is not from Bob. That was the aforementioned Bob, who had a 30 year career in IT. He says I spent the last three weeks deep into leveraging my professional and technical background to learning AI. What it is, where it lives, what it takes to run it. In summary, because he just retired LLMs, more specifically, its neural network is modeled after the human brain, it does not hold all facts. It's not an all knowing oracle. It's more akin to a very well read person with knowledge in all fields. Think of a man that's read and observed a hundred thousand books. He knows ideas conveyed in those books and in many cases specific facts. He does not know what specific page number contained each fact though if prompted, he can get to the book and locate the fact information. I'll skip that part. Unlike humans, the LLMs knowledge stops when it's finished training. That's not to say it won't give current answers. One has to qualify the question asked. Then he gets into a whole bunch of things that can and cannot do and how do we use it effectively and we've had other emails on this Ask clear specific questions, follow up for deeper reasoning or math. Request sources or ask for web search when facts matter used to explore, explain or clarify, not to make final decisions. Always verify legal, medical, financial or policy critical advice. I actually got some really good medical advice over the weekend from Chat GPT. Yeah. And I'll tell you, I've had this experience a half dozen times at least of something that like you would ask a therapist about dealing with a emotional family relationship sort of thing and the answers have been amazing, like better than maybe any therapist I've ever talked to in like wow, that makes great sense. Yeah. Just stunning. Yeah. And, and then it'll ask you, you want me to go into more detail on any one of those points, let me know. And, and yeah, I had a similar experience and came up with examples and quotes that may have, may not be legit. I don't know from, from very famous in this case it was athletes talking about stuff and it was enormously helpful. I agree. Meanwhile, here's a longtime fan, Ian been long time writing to you here. I'm worried that the race to AGI artificial general intelligence presents the greatest threat to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Well, we have no time really even to summarize this, but if we don't slow down this race, I believe there will be dire consequences for humanity. Certainly we're not going to slow it down. There's no slowing it down though that first part is undoable. Even if we did, the Chinese aren't. So yeah, here's, here's a reenactment of what we're about to talk about. Emmanuel Donald Politico has an interesting story today about how world leaders call him up on his cell phone on a regular basis and they just have regular bro conversations which is kind of interesting really in a way that has never happened before.

I'll announce it probably tonight or tomorrow, but there's no reason to wait. If you know what the answer is going to be, why wait? So that's a follow up to something Trump said earlier today when asked about the 50 day pause with Russia. And he said there's no, I'm not giving him the whole 50 days. There's no indication from Putin that he's interested in a deal. And then he just said they're 10 to 12 days. That's quite a speeded up timetable. And then the brutal sanctions hit, they'll, they'll hit Russia, but I mean, they hit some of our allies like India. India will get punished hard for trying to woo them to become a bigger ally to help counter China. Indian Brazil will get hit hard for buying, for instance, oil from Russia. So it'll be interesting to see geopolitically how that all plays out and what Putin's reaction to it is. So the story in Politico today, in Politico, they aren't big fans of Trump, obviously, but an article today with some favorable Trump stuff about how Trump is incredibly unique could just stop the sentence there among presidents in the way he just gives everybody a cell phone number. So all world leaders, he said, you know, don't go through the State Department or all that. Just here, here's my number. Call me whenever you want or text. And they do. And it has a list here of leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister of Britain, Ker Starmer, and others who just text him or call him on his cell phone wherever they want and he talks to him. And the interesting thing that Politico does, since they are mostly a Trump hating outfit, is how they say this has really helped his relationship with a variety of leaders around the world and how they have much better communication and it has led to some good outcomes. Yeah, I can absolutely see the advantage of. I see the advantage of the other way, too, but, yeah, I mean, given Trump's tendency to speak off the cuff and maybe make stronger pronouncements than we're used to from presidents, I could see, you know, the ability to jump on the phone. And instead of, you know, weeks later, after diplomatic efforts and lower level contacts, now you call them up and say, hey, that stuff you said about Ukraine, did you mean that or what? What's you. What are you thinking? It just straightens it out, right? One person familiar with one of president's conversations with Emmanuel Macron, the leader of France, recalled the two leaders broing it out as they greeted one another. It was oddly amusing. Trump would say emmanuel and draw out the L when he answered the phone. And then, and then Macron would say Donald and draw out the D. And it sort of went back and forth like that. What was that? Wasn't there a famous super bowl commercial with. Well, they were all shouting the same greeting. That was years ago. What's up? What's up? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Foreign officials credit their ability to adapt to Trump's freewheeling style to improved personal relationships. What they say is leading to more favorable outcomes. And for Politico to say that is something. Yeah, well, he's such a different guy and such a different president. I mean, it makes perfect sense that, that the communications would flow differently. One European official said there's less friction and more alignment in some cases. Some of that is a result of a lot of leaders being more hands on with Trump and yes, more solid, solicitous, soliciting him in private and leading to outcomes that have been good, like the whole NATO thing and them being more on board with trying to help out. They Politico, anyway, credits it to this ability to people text and call and keep the conversation going thing that Trump does. Yeah, there are, there Are probably examples in life where less communication is better. I can actually think of a few people. But generally speaking, if you want to get something done, more communication's better. Oh, I gotta believe in this case almost all the time, more communication is better. And the old style of it has to go through the state department and perhaps a think tank to determine how to respond. Takes six weeks. Not the best way to do it. Okay, that's enough of that. I've been promising this for hours. I got a picture to show Katie and Joe and Michael so everybody could see the woman with the world's largest lips. First of all, are your reaction. Plastic surgeons used to not be willing to do things for mentally ill people. She is known as a woman with the world's largest lips. Here's what she looked like before all her surgeries. And that was a picture of a normal woman. And she now has lips that look like she's got a catcher's mitt attached to her face. To call them clownish would be a disservice to clowns and their time honored profession. That is a legitimate pool in her tube on her face. Yes. Yeah. So she. Yeah, if she, if she fell off a boat, she could float by her lips. Kept aloft, afloat by her lips. So we saw somebody, not to that extent, but close enough at the state fair, California State fair on Friday. They were just walking in when we were walking out. A woman who looked to be about 50, who had all kinds of stuff going on with her face. She had the really squinty eyes and high cheekbones from getting her face sucked back and all these different things. But she had the ginormous catcher's mitt lips going. My son said to me after we passed them, dad, I got three questions. Why? Why? And finally why? But. And she had a husband with her. And to Joe's point, when did we decide to not call out mental illness? Whether it's her husband or her friends or co workers or whatever. And I don't know, I. I feel like if you had done that 30 years ago, certainly 50 years ago, a whole bunch of people would have intervened and said, what the f are you doing? Yes. Yeah. Well, yeah. And I use. These have to do with my oft mentioned principle that if it was just people you interacted with in real life, you would be quickly informed that this is a bad idea. Whereas you can find somebody to support any idiocy on the Internet. I don't know. I don't know. I know somebody. I'm gonna be very vague because this is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Beautiful, beautiful young human being who would get their lips done on a regular basis. And they would show up after getting their lips done. It's like, what are you doing? Oh, boy. Why? Who's that for? And you know, nobody's ever gonna say anything. Should somebody say something? I mean, I'd be pretty. Well, yeah. Is it or isn't it? I actually have another fascinating study about how incredibly important honesty is in relationship. Even if it's a little hurtful. Don't really have time for that. To be honest. More significantly, if you. Because I was looking for pictures of her pre surgery. If you type into your search bar. Woman with the world's lar. Here are the autofills counting down to number one from number. What is this about eight? Woman with the world's largest feet. I wasn't expecting that one. Did you click on that? How large are they? There are eight. Was she just born with large feet or is she getting like silicone pumped into her feet? Feet. I think she just has very large feet. Number seven, Woman with the world's largest mouth. Okay. And you put like six. Six cue balls in there or something. Woman with the world's largest nothing. What? Woman with the world's largest tongue is number five. Ew. Size of a cow tongue. Tell you what. I kissed her once. It changed my life. There we are. A woman with the world's largest mouth again. How is that in a different place? All right. Google. No wonder Chat GPT is ruining you. Number two. Woman with the world's largest breast implants. Knew that was coming. Didn't we have. Yep, I. We did. What was her name? So she claimed it was Chelsea Charms. I still remember she believed she had the world's largest breast. Katie. She was in studio. They were freakishly large. Once again though. Beautiful woman. Yeah. Yeah. Like it would have been naturally, but with these cartoonish ridiculous. I mean, what the hell was going on there? I'm seeing them. Yeah. She was standing right there. She was a sweet girl with serious daddy issues and some fairly significant mental health issues who was making a fair amount of money off people with a bizarre fetish for inhumanely large breasts. It was just. Just ultimately just kind of sad. So a mentally ill person making money off of other people are mentally ill. Because if you want. If that turns you on, since no human being has those, you're mentally ill. The. The way they look. I'm putting. I. I'm going past that and I'm just. Are we with the lip lady or the breast lady? Okay, all right, we've moved on. The pain, I mean, that's physical pain she's putting herself in. There's no way her back's okay or any of that. You know what I mean? It's. There's more than just the boobs. Sure, sure. Yeah. So then she's carrying around a sack of cement all day and it was to advertise her appearance at a club. So then she's gonna go to a club and a bunch of mentally ill dudes were gonna show up an oogler from and she was gonna make money off of that and then travel on to the next town and do it again. Nice. Oh, Michael, do you still have that? Hi, this is Chelsea Charms. My two favorite boobs are Armstrong and Getty. Yeah, it's clever. We were clever back then. Wow. Practically Shakespeare. Actually, Shakespeare's full of dirty jokes. So did you get to number one? Number two was breasts or number one was breast? Number one was lips. Because of the news story. Number one because of this lady. Yeah, yeah. So I. I see. I won't mention. Well, he doesn't it online. Tim Sandifer regularly has tweets about fat acceptance. Not just like your overweight acceptance, which we all should have since we're, you know, most of us overweight, but the acceptance of like morbidly dangerous to your health, weight and acting like that's cool and thumbs up to everything. Why? Empowering. Why? How did we get this way? Just tolerance gonna arise. Yeah, Yeah, I. I think that's it. And, and a misplaced desire to not hurt the feelings of people who, who don't deserve to be hurt. Not understanding that, that the hurt feelings is the other side of the coin of awareness of the dangerousness of the condition. Right. You know what I mean? It's impossible to do the one without the other. And so the soft hearted and soft headed among us say, well then don't deliver the message at all. Although being overweight, that's misguided. Overweight can be complicated. There's all kinds of things that can be involved in that. Having 100%, having your giant lips pumped full of non organic material, that's just flat out. You're insane and it should be called out. Yeah, yeah. How do you find a doctor that would do that? How are those doctors not immediately disbarred or have their license taken away or whatever you do? I mean, how does that not happen immediately? Yeah, I don't know. We're at an odd place in society I have a friend who has a physician wife. In her spare time she does the cosmetic little injections and stuff like that the treatments were all familiar with from Botox, lip fillers, whatever. She makes more money few hours a week doing that stuff than she does in her legitimate. Really? Yeah, I just got. It reminds me, just got a place opened up near my. Where I live. It does all kinds of that sort of stuff and I was wondering since it's so close and handy to me, if there's anything I could do that would make me look better. Botox. I don't know. What would I Botox? What do most people Botox? Wherever you want. Forehead like crow's feet around your eyes. I don't worry about that much. Maybe I get some of their other stuff done. Laser hair removal. Go ahead if you want about a calf implant. I don't think they do collagen. Get collagen injections in your lips. Do they actually stick a needle in your lips? Yeah, they do. Yeah. There's no way I'm doing that. Then I don't see how bigger lips would help my life much. Oh, you know, I'm. I am fascinated by the. The phenomenon. It's similar to like if you're anorexic, some woman usually who's been reduced to looking like she's starving but still sees a fact person in the mirror. Yeah. I wonder if there's some connected syndrome with the. You just can't stop getting your lips puffier and puffier. Oh, it's got to be. You look in the mirror and you think man, my lips look too small today. I was wondering, I was actually wondering that with the person I was talking about earlier, the very attractive person that was doing this. Like I think you've like lost the thread here somewhere. It's like the tan people that are just way too tan and must think I'm starting to look pale because you're like. You look like a. A freaking. Well, once again, catcher's mitt. Why do I compare everything to a catcher's mitt? I don't know. Do you have a bad experience behind the plate one day gonna talk about it. We will finish strong. Next, Armstrong and Getty.

Death to Trump. Allah Akbar. Somebody yells out on the plane, I think it's over. And. Or how about I beat your head in while we're waiting for the plane to go down? Oof. That's not a good one.

I didn't know what it was. There was a plane that dropped 500ft suddenly the other day to avoid crashing into another plane.

Armstrong recounts using ChatGPT to diagnose his son's medical issue, highlighting both the tool's potential and its occasional inaccuracies.
The conversation shifts to expert opinions received via emails, notably from Bob, a retired IT professional with over 30 years in the field, who emphasizes the non-intelligent nature of AI.
Getty echoes Bob's sentiments, discussing the anthropomorphizing of AI and its implications.

Jack Armstrong (00:45:30): "If she fell off a boat, she could float by her lips."

These segments showcase the hosts' chemistry and ability to navigate diverse topics seamlessly.
In the final segments, Armstrong touches on climate change, presenting a dichotomy of extreme weather conditions across the country.
