Bobby Bones
You're about to jump in your tour bus and we had like three hours. It was really cool. He literally just like randomly showed up to my house and I'm like, oh hey Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. You can listen to the full episode out now, wherever you get your podcast. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade Hybrid.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio at the George Washington.

Lenovo Advertiser
Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
- [03:27]
Bobby Bones
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. So P. Diddy, Sean Combs is speaking in court for the first time since this unpleasantness befell his life, and he is taking full responsibility. He said it's been the most difficult two years of his life. What, am I supposed to feel sorry for you or.
- [03:58]
Joe Getty
Yeah, we're not here because you got wronged, you dope.
- [04:03]
Bobby Bones
It's been the most difficult two years of your life. I would hope that once you got caught raping women, beating them, that, yeah, it got a little unpleasant and will continue to be quite unpleasant maybe for the next several decades.
- [04:21]
Joe Getty
Unless the next part of that sentence is, and I brought it all on myself by doing evil, evil deeds, then shut up.
- [04:29]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [04:29]
Joe Getty
Anyway, it's been hard for me, your honor, I'm telling you.
- [04:31]
Bobby Bones
Oh, been a rough couple of years.
- [04:33]
Joe Getty
I'm crazy rich. I'm used to people doing everything I ask. I mean, up to and including raping, beating, drugging people, that sort of thing. So as you can imagine, me being in jail has been trey inconvenience.
- [04:45]
Bobby Bones
If I'm the judge and he says I take full responsibility, I'd say, as. As opposed to what? As opposed to what? What, what? What was your other option in saying that, Mr. Combs, if you were to.
- [04:54]
Joe Getty
Take partial responsibility, how would that be different from what's happening here right now? Explain to me what that phrase even means. It'd be fun to be a judge.
- [05:02]
Bobby Bones
I'm very judgmental, a snarky judge.
- [05:07]
Joe Getty
Yeah, I. I really would like a TV judge show. The field is a little crowded. It's just I feel like I'd be good at it.
- [05:14]
Bobby Bones
So I'd lost track of this, like you probably have. The prosecution is seeking a 135 month sentence. 12 months in a year, so that'd be 10 years. That's another 15 months. Okay, so 11 years. Think about it. But that's a long time in jail. We'll see how much time he actually gets. If that comes down while we're on the air, we'll let you know.
- [05:33]
Joe Getty
But first, it's the Friday tradition. It's time to take a found look back at the week. There was its cow clips of the week. Cows are good, cows are neat. But this cow isn't made of meat. Eclipse of the week.

Bobby Bones
The whole world is waiting for Hamas's.
- [05:51]
Joe Getty
Formal yes or no to this deal here.
- [05:54]
Morton Buildings Advertiser
This can be done the easy way or it can be done the hard way.
- [05:59]
Bobby Bones
I have a feeling that we're going to have a positive answer.

Lenovo Advertiser
So let's go to Oregon where antifa radical left anarchists are causing chaos in that city.
- [06:09]
Bobby Bones
We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy.
- [06:16]
Joe Getty
How about we all come together and say let's stop murders. How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles.
- [06:23]
Bobby Bones
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re election campaign. What's two spirit? Today's show is brought to you by.

Bobby Bones
We became the woke department, but not anymore. No more identity months. DEI offices. Dudes in dresses. We are done with that. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. Got poop on your shirt.
- [06:58]
Joe Getty
Are you watching Donald Trump?
- [07:01]
Bobby Bones
It's the final countdown.
- [07:06]
Joe Getty
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
- [07:08]
Bobby Bones
We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans. It's a disgusting video, man. Just ignore it. And is it helpful to post pictures of leader Jeffries and sombreros? Oh, I think it's funny. You should eat with the Italians and.
- [07:26]
Joe Getty
You should drink with the Irish. Tilly Norwood is an AI generated actress gaining attention and drawing swift backlash.
- [07:34]
Bobby Bones
Just be you.
- [07:36]
Joe Getty
Just be me.
- [07:37]
Bobby Bones
Yep. So I googled what the latest variant is.
- [07:41]
Joe Getty
It's called Life of a Showgirl.
- [07:43]
Bobby Bones
It's called Life of a Show Girl.
- [07:45]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Taylor Swift has formed a promotional tie.
- [07:47]
Bobby Bones
In Imagine they just. They couldn't test it. God bless you, Bobby. I hope I didn't catch COVID just there me a pax. Love it immediately. Yeah. So Taylor Swift's new album dropped, as they say, at midnight last night. I listened to a good chunk of it on the way to work today. It's good for that sort of thing. But in getting really great reviews from people Review that kind of music. But what's interesting is that in the modern world, she won't make like a 4 cents off of all the people, all the listening today over the next 24 hours or over the weekend. She won't make like a dollar literally. And she'll make a billion dollars literally when she tours on the album. But nothing off of like a hugely, hugely successful album because people don't buy albums well.
- [08:40]
Joe Getty
And she and their people, her people, rather I just changed her pronoun for her, are so good at merch tie ins and commercial tie ins. I remember, you know, and I'll bet a lot of you guys do too. You. You good people. Back in the day, when we were young rock and roll fans, if the Rolling Stones or the who toured, brought to you by Budweiser, everybody would be.
- [09:06]
Bobby Bones
Like, oh, man, you're selling out. What are you doing?
- [09:09]
Joe Getty
You gone corporate. And now it's like, what, are you kidding me? No, it's all I gotta do is put that damn logo up there. And my tour is. My costs are covered so we can make some money. But we were all so precious then.
- [09:24]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [09:25]
Joe Getty
Or you know what? Maybe, maybe it was better in that. Look, this is creative arts to us. We understand we have to buy the album, but you gotta at least pretend that this is art as opposed to just pure commerce.
- [09:40]
Bobby Bones
Time change. It's only 12 songs, which I like. When albums are a length that you can like digest them and you get 24 songs or whatever. I'm never gonna get to all of them. But there were listening parties all across the country, like bars that at midnight started playing it and dances and stuff like that. There's like nobody on earth that can pull that off anymore.
- [10:02]
Joe Getty
No.
- [10:03]
Bobby Bones
Has that kind of. Has that kind of juice.
- [10:07]
Joe Getty
And Michael, who else has that kind of juice? Cone.
- [10:14]
Bobby Bones
Cone.
- [10:15]
Joe Getty
It's got the juice. Jack's favorite clip. I'm sorry, it's Friday. I'm out. I give a damn. Fresh out of give a damn.
- [10:24]
Bobby Bones
I, I hate that I've done that. I think you came up with this idea because I got a lot of, like, most, most music I listen to, these people are barely making it. Most of the music I'm listening to, they ain't making no money because nobody makes any money off of streaming. And then you two are small places getting 80 people to show up. And so I've done what you suggested to, you know, buy a T shirt off their website or something to, to pay for all the enjoyment I'm getting.
- [10:51]
Joe Getty
From tickets and merch.
- [10:53]
Bobby Bones
From listening to their music.
- [10:55]
Joe Getty
Yep, yep. That's good. So Colin mcgregor's little clip there reminded me. It's been driving me crazy. One of my favorite old jokes about Europe where he says, we don't have that isolated, do we, Michael? The one two things you gotta do. You gotta eat with the Italians and drink with the Irish.
- [11:12]
Bobby Bones
It was on the ship yesterday.
- [11:14]
Joe Getty
Right. And this has been driving me crazy because there's a great old joke about Europe. If you've. If you're into Europe or you've been to Europe, but I can't remember how it works. And I finally had chatgpt tell me, and of course it did. Immediately after oddly saying, ah, yes, I said. I said, what's the joke about in heaven? The Brits or the police, etc. And ChatGPT response, ah, yes. That's a classic old joke that plays on national stereotypes about different countries, supposed strengths and weaknesses. It goes something like this. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. First of all, thanks for telling me the joke, because you got it exactly right. But did I really need a two, like, notes of caution?
- [11:56]
Bobby Bones
Right.
- [11:57]
Joe Getty
Plays on national stereotypes about different countries, supposed or supposed strengths and weaknesses. Are you sure you want to enjoy this joke? I don't want to call you a bigot, but you seem like a bigot. Chatgpt is telling me.
- [12:14]
Bobby Bones
Do you have the joke? I have two things on this earth you should do.
- [12:18]
Joe Getty
You should eat with the Italians and you should drink with the Irish. Okay, here's the difference between heaven and hell. In heaven, the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian, and everything is organized by the Swiss. In hell, the police are German, the cooks are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.
- [12:47]
Bobby Bones
That's funny that. That holds up.
- [12:50]
Joe Getty
Oh, it does. It so does. Yeah, that's a great joke.
- [12:54]
Bobby Bones
Culture is a thing.
- [12:56]
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah, of course it is. Culture's incredibly powerful. And, you know, not to get overly serious. I know because I always do. But the American educational establishment has tried to convince you that your culture is nothing but ugly and bad. But every other culture on earth is wonderful and admirable. Come on. I sounded like Joe Biden right there. Come on.
- [13:23]
Bobby Bones
You did. Actually, I did.
- [13:24]
Joe Getty
That was weird. And this is malarkey.
- [13:27]
Bobby Bones
That should trouble you.
- [13:28]
Joe Getty
It does trouble me. Since it's Friday, do you want to.
- [13:33]
Bobby Bones
Hear the whole corn kid clip?
- [13:35]
Joe Getty
No.
- [13:36]
Bobby Bones
Okay. How long is it?
- [13:37]
Joe Getty
It's 30 seconds.
- [13:38]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we can do 30 seconds.
- [13:39]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Right.
- [13:40]
Bobby Bones
For Me, I really like cone.
- [13:43]
Joe Getty
What do you like about corn?
- [13:45]
Bobby Bones
Ever since I and I was told that corn is real, it tasted good. Did you think corn wasn't real? But when I tried it with better, everything changed. I love corn. I mean then look at this then I can't imagine a more beautiful thing. It's corn. Can you describe corn to someone who's never tasted it before? A big lump with knobs. It has the juice. It's the part that mostly makes me like the cone.
- [14:13]
Joe Getty
How much do you think corn should cost?
- [14:15]
Bobby Bones
Mandala? I was around some kids the other day. It's just like, oh, made me long from when my kids were that age. It was just so little. Kids are so flipping cute and entertaining.
- [14:26]
Joe Getty
And they're not evil and they're not.
- [14:27]
Bobby Bones
Evil and they're just, they're just so in the moment of just enjoying what you're doing then. And it doesn't have to be anything. The fountain out front of the building here. Every time there's kids out there, I think about when my kids were out there and they just enjoyed it so much. Just walking around in the cement, see if they're gonna fall in and that sort of stuff. Just so entertaining for them. I love that now they're teenagers and surly. Everything sucks.
- [14:54]
Joe Getty
Oof.
- [14:54]
Bobby Bones
No matter what I bring up, that sucks. That's stupid. All right. Okay. We we got more on the way. Stay here.

Bobby Bones
The words in a confidential memo sent.
- [18:44]
Joe Getty
To congressional committees, the president labeling smugglers unlawful combatants.
- [18:49]
Bobby Bones
The memo following three deadly strikes last month against vessels the White House claims were hauling drugs. So I don't know if that was to get some legal cover for what he has been doing because there's been some pushback out there or if he's planning to go further and thought maybe I better get some something in writing to Congress since we're about to like, really unleash this thing. I don't know. But that's interesting.
- [19:09]
Joe Getty
Yeah. That's what, that's what it was, that memo. Because both sides of the aisle are saying, hey, we're not entirely comfortable with this.
- [19:16]
Bobby Bones
I mean, you think he's planning to go more and further?
- [19:20]
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah, I think so. Or certainly continue as he's been. Huh. But, you know, if a guy is sitting at a desk doing like the accounting for a cartel's hotel that it owns, can you take him out? Now, he's not directly bringing drugs in, so I guess that is different. But.
- [19:40]
Bobby Bones
Well, I like the example. I forget who brought this up, but it's a pretty good. The people in the boat, are you positive they were headed to the United States or the drugs were or were they headed to lots of other places that they send drugs? And are we allowed to kill those people?
- [19:56]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. It's all a little questionable. And just beware of granting too much executive power to your guy because the next guy will use it, too. Yeah, probably in a way that you hate. Anyway, a couple of media notes very quickly. This is, this is just dopey and almost funny. But George Snuffleup, I guess he's interviewing Mike Johnson about the government shutdown. And he said, and I quote, the Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage or paying higher health care premiums. Why are you against that? Yeah, Snuffleupagus asked, and Johnson replied, that's an absurd statement. And then he explained himself in a way that any adult can understand. But again, that's just annoying and stupid. Nellie Bowles writing in the Free Press.
- [20:41]
Bobby Bones
That's why I'm excited. The news that broke today that Barry Weiss is going to be the person in charge of news at CBS now. And I don't think she's going to allow that sort of crap to be on cbs, I think.
- [20:51]
Joe Getty
Right. Indeed. Speaking of free press, Nelly Bowles writing in the Free Press, and she was writing about the response to Charlie Kirk's assassination. And this may be the last time this comes up for a while anyway. But she gives a bunch of examples of like the Guardian who found a professor saying it was an unnerving spectacle watching Charlie debate students and that young debaters claim that Kirk was there only to verbally beat his opponents. And she writes, that's also known as a debate. But let's continue. One student tells the Guardian that Kirk, quote, knew the argument for nearly every conservative principle and even theological concepts, and he spent years developing that ability. So he is very great at pivoting and changing the conversation when it was not going his way. And Nellie writes, in other words, he was a man who was very good at debating and prepared for his public appearances. Unnerving, indeed, but again, kind of just amusing. But then she points out that New York Times star writer M. Gessen, who is a transgender person of some sort, arguing that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, is just like a man who killed a Nazi one time. And I went to the original column in the New York Times by this M. Gessen person, and the tone of the column, it goes on for quite some time about how it's so dangerous now for transgender people and they're being hunted to extinction and. And everybody's terrified and blah, blah, blah. And Trump's America is just radical, insisting on radical change. It's actually kind of funny because it's the classic, we institute radical change, then when you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, we don't believe that you're accused of being the agent of radical change. But anyway, he quotes somebody who had to leave Turkey because they were being hunted down for being. I'm not sure, maybe transgender or something. And then he talks about how frightened he and everyone is. Then he gets to the part that Nelly was referencing. I've been thinking of historical rather than fictional antecedents, in particular, the assassination in 1938 of a Nazi diplomat in Paris by a Polish German teenager. It goes on and on. I've been thinking about it because it's an assassination, because like most public violence, it was committed by a young man and because it was an act of despair. Then he goes into the family's terrible treatment at the hands of the Nazis and the rest of it. Staying with an uncle in Paris, the young man was unable to help the family. He decided to kill someone he saw as a representation of the force that was killing his loved ones. If the information released by Utah investigators so far proves accurate, Tyler Robinson might have felt a. Felt a similar desperate fury. So he says, because conservatives are rounding up transgender people and treating them like Jews in the Holocaust, then this killing, like that killing, is really justified. Argued in the pages. Featured editorial in the New York Times.

Bobby Bones
Wow. And so you got that crazy side, and then you've got the whatever you call the other side that believes this kid is a patsy. And it was the FBI working with Israel that took out Charlie Kirk.

- [27:58]
Joe Getty
Yeah, kids, back in the day there were things called magazines that were like websites that were printed on paper and then they would be mailed to your home. People would read them. Time magazine mattered at one point. Time.com is a news website struggling to survive. It is like most news websites, progressive. Here is your headline. ICE arrested a beloved school superintendent. The community rallied behind him. To those who knew him, Superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts is an integral part of the school community and a former principal of the year. But to the Department of Homeland Security, he is a criminal alien and a threat to public safety.
- [28:39]
Bobby Bones
You know, I saw that. Retweeted by I won't even say who. One of our good friends of the Armstrong and Getty show said, I guess this is making America great again. Arresting principles.
- [28:49]
Joe Getty
54 year old Roberts emerged following his dramatic arrest by ICE on Friday morning. The case that stunned Des Moines, Iowa community where he has worked for years. My God, this man, this doctor, this principal of the year. Good Lord. That story was published five days ago. Here's a little update for you.
- [29:11]
Bobby Bones
The former Des Moines public school superintendent made his initial appearance before a judge today on a criminal complaint charging him with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms. Ian Roberts will remain detained in federal custody pending further proceedings. The complaint alleges that Roberts attempted to hide from ICE officers who surveilled his residence and then followed his vehicle. Roberts was found with the help of local law enforcement and a K9 near his abandoned vehicle. A Glock firearm found in the Jeep below the driver's seat. The DOJ says a search of Roberts home has turned up three additional firearms.
- [29:48]
Joe Getty
He had a work visa that expired years ago and had a final order of removal last year in May from an immigration judge. That's last year while Biden was in office. But wait, there's more.
- [30:02]
Bobby Bones
Roberts, a native of Guyana, resigned from his position as a Des Moines superintendent Tuesday after he was detained nearly a week ago on allegations he was in the country illegally. School district officials say two years ago, Roberts claimed he had a doctorate from Morgan State University, but they say records showed he never obtained it. Despite the discrepancy, the district still hired him. Now, MIT saying Roberts claim he was an MBA student there is also false. And George Washington University saying the principal of the year award Roberts boasted he received does not exist. In a statement, the Des Moines school board saying they are a victim of deception. Well, as a former gold medal long jumper, I find that appalling. So you.
- [30:44]
Joe Getty
Thank you for your comment, doctor.
- [30:47]
Bobby Bones
So you get caught lying about your Ph.D. and they say, ah, you know, we all exaggerate. You can be principal.
- [30:54]
Joe Getty
It's a little. Little resume fluffing. We all do it.
- [30:57]
Bobby Bones
That doesn't indicate that you're a nut job or all kinds of a liar. We'll just go ahead and overlook it.
- [31:04]
Joe Getty
So the trusted beloved member of the school community, which may be true.
- [31:09]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [31:10]
Joe Getty
Was a fake degreed non principal of the year, ordered to be deported, illegal alien under Biden who carried around guns illegally.
- [31:22]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And even before you got to the line on the resume stuff, I thought, okay, well, some of you are upset with this. Well, what Change the law then? The law is what the law is. What other laws do we get to ignore? Is always the question I have. Do I get to choose what laws to ignore? Since you're choosing some.
- [31:38]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Final note from his attorney.
- [31:41]
Bobby Bones
But Robert's attorney asking the public to withhold judgment. This is a very complex case. Take it a step at a time.
- [31:52]
Joe Getty
Okay, will do.
- [31:57]
Bobby Bones
I wonder how many people lie like that about accomplishments and don't get caught. We hear about the ones that get caught, obviously.
- [32:08]
Joe Getty
Right.
- [32:09]
Bobby Bones
But is there a. Are there a great number of people that get away with it their whole lives gotta be True with degrees. I mean, whoever checks to see if you actually have a degree. Unless you're a doctor or something.
- [32:22]
Joe Getty
Right, Right. Yeah. I think the. Wait, what moment though, for all of us was the Des Moines Board of Education said they were aware of the discrepanc agencies but hired him anyway. That was going on there. Now he is a black fella. Was it a whole. He's down with the dei. They're down with the dei. He was one of theirs. So they went ahead and hired him. I mean, because what other. And I'm not jumping to that, just because he's a black man, because there are plenty of people of various shades who are Neo Marxist lunatics.
- [32:59]
Bobby Bones
But.
- [32:59]
Joe Getty
But how do you explain going ahead and hiring him?
- [33:03]
Bobby Bones
I don't know. That's nuts.
- [33:04]
Joe Getty
Discrepancy.
- [33:06]
Bobby Bones
I almost wish I had, at various points in my life, just started slightly altering my college career. Just for the fun of it, not to gain anything, just.
- [33:14]
Joe Getty
Right.
- [33:15]
Bobby Bones
I minored in French. Oh, you did? Yeah. We or something.
- [33:22]
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. Just you could do all sorts of stuff just to amuse yourself.
- [33:27]
Bobby Bones
I was a dual major, art history, bachelor's in that.
- [33:30]
Joe Getty
Also, I kept.
- [33:32]
Bobby Bones
Heard of a big Monet fan.
- [33:34]
Joe Getty
I kept getting hurt. So I didn't play college baseball. How about. Yeah, I kept getting hurt. And I never made it past Double A in the Cub system. But they were good times. I really enjoyed it at the time. But anyway, I moved on in life. I mean, why not?
- [33:49]
Bobby Bones
Unless you rise to real prominence. Nobody ever checks that stuff.
- [33:54]
Joe Getty
Right. You know, the year I lived in Bavaria was. It changed who I am in the way I see the world. I was in my fraternity and a sorority.
- [34:04]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, there you go.
- [34:06]
Joe Getty
Well, I thought I was trans. Then I decided I wasn't, so it was confusing for everyone. But anyway, here we are going full PhD though.
- [34:15]
Bobby Bones
That's ballsy.
- [34:17]
Joe Getty
Right? Right. But then when the Moyne discovered the discrepancy in his record. Oh, you have no degree. You don't have either of those degrees, actually. And the principle of the year thing doesn't exist. When can you start?
- [34:33]
Bobby Bones
What's going on? Well, again, that's not an indication that there are other things we should be concerned about. Your personality. I'm sure that's the only thing you've ever done that's slightly weird and things will be fine.
- [34:45]
Joe Getty
Well, and that's funny, I thought you were going to say that to no indication. We have to worry about what else is going on in the Des Moines public school system.
- [34:51]
Bobby Bones
Oh, good point. Point. What the Hell yeah, no kidding. That is something. That's the obvious follow up. Is any media outlet following up on that? Hey, by the way, something, once you figured it out, how come you still hired him?
- [35:06]
Joe Getty
You know, I was searching desperately googling because of the, you know, I'm using my, my MacBook here and all for any conservative outlets writing about this journalism about this case and I had to fight and fight and fight to find anything. I had to ask for it specifically. But even the Wall Street Journal, which is frequently, you know, they got young woke reporters on kind of the second level stuff. It doesn't mention any of that stuff, any of it in this article.
- [35:40]
Bobby Bones
That's another reason why I'm really going to keep my eye on CBS going forward. Now that Barry Weiss is going to be in charge of the the new stuff, is she going to work really hard to be what will be quite an outlier among your bigfoot media and trying to get stuff right and treating, you know, stories from all sides is equally a big deal, right?
- [36:02]
Joe Getty
Yeah, it'll be interesting to watch.
- [36:05]
Bobby Bones
Probably doesn't help her any that she's going to get what, $150 million as they obtain substack or free press.
- [36:13]
Joe Getty
I'm sorry, I'll give you the Armstrong and Getty show for half that. I'll even show up for, I don't know, a year max.
- [36:21]
Bobby Bones
Wow.
- [36:21]
Joe Getty
We can talk about it.
- [36:23]
Bobby Bones
We'll hear from the journalist who was beat down by Antifa and then got arrested by the cops in Portland for being beaten down. What is this, the Taliban public bleeding?
- [36:31]
Joe Getty
That's right.
- [36:33]
Bobby Bones
We'll finish strong.

Bobby Bones
We did talk to Nick pretty much minutes after he was released from jail this morning. So we asked him what went down last night. What he told told us is he was out here filming Protesters as they were getting maced by federal agents. And he said it was a little embarrassing for the protesters because they were shrieking and crying about having the mace in their eyes. So they didn't like being recorded. So they kind of chased him down the street a little bit, then surrounded him and pushed him down into a flower bed. He says they then punched and assaulted him and he tried to defend himself. Okay, so that's in Portland last night. You got a conservative journalist being chased by antifa. Here's the actual dude himself. So they threw multiple punches at me. They broke my camera by hitting that. So I was on the ground at that point. I tried to swing. I missed. I saw the opportunity to get up and get away. That's when I went over to the police officers, which I thought, you know, maybe they'd help me. But no, instead they threw me in handcuffs. This is going to backfire on them tremendously. It already is. Okay. People knew that something out here stunk and that it was corrupt and that the police are. They take the side of the violent criminals that are here every single day. Assaulting ICE officers, assaulting journalists. And then a reporter comes and, you know, tries to embed deep within the chaos that's going in out here and he's the one that gets arrested. So you don't know what happened in that particular situation. But if it went down the way it's described there, that would fit in with a lot of other people's versions of the story of the last hundred days where the police are not doing anything or have been told not to do anything.
- [41:48]
Joe Getty
Portlandia. Yeah, Andy. No, just posted on Substack. I'm trying to find it because another, a young woman journalist got smashed in the face with some sort of poll colleague of his as well. No arrests there as far as I can tell.
- [42:05]
Bobby Bones
We'll keep our eye on that story. It's probably not going to calm down over the weekend. So I mentioned this new app that just came out called Sora. It's from the open AI Crowd Chat GPT. It's a social media app made by one of your AI companies. Actually that company is now worth $500 billion. It's the most valuable private company in the world. Open AI.
- [42:29]
Joe Getty
But they've got because their profits, right?
- [42:32]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's a good question. The new thing, Sora, it's an AI only social media platform. Every post, every video, every bit of audio is all AI created. There's no humans and. But I wanted to check it out. It's still in Its beta phase or whatever. You have to. You have to have an invite code which you can only get from somebody who's already on the platform. It's like, you know, you need to have somebody in the cool club that can tell the bouncer, no, he's okay, let me in. Does somebody with the code. Could you text me five, one, four, eight. No, no, that's. I was about to give. I almost gave my Social Security number. How crazy. Good Lord. Wow. How funny is that? What's wrong with my brain? I almost gave off my Social Security number. No, our text line. Text me the code.
- [43:24]

- [43:33]
Joe Getty
I don't remember what it was. Everyone 5 2, 9, 5, kftc.
- [43:39]
Bobby Bones
But. So I'd asked for the code earlier and I thought some people were helping me out. Here's the invitation code. I've been on it for a while. I love it. It's case sensitive, though. Small G, capital E, capital T, small A, capital L, I, F, E, get a life. It spelled. See people.
- [43:56]
Joe Getty
I got to admit, I'm a little mystified by the premise it's a social media platform with only AI generated everything.
- [44:05]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And it's by the most valuable private company AI thing in the world. So it's probably pretty good. The reviews of it are. It's just spectacular. It's just all AI posts.
- [44:14]
Joe Getty
Spectacular at what?
- [44:16]
Bobby Bones
Just memes, funny videos, songs, stuff like that. It's just all. It's just show. It's basically showing off what AI can do. And everybody's posting their best stuff. Here's somebody else who said, yeah, I got the code. It's E, I, E, I, O. You people aren't helping me. I don't think you're taking me seriously.
- [44:34]
Joe Getty
I believe you're being trolled.
- [44:36]
Bobby Bones
I believe I'm being mocked. Then somebody else said, a code that's not funny, but it doesn't work. So, I mean, it was. It was way too many numbers to fit into the thing. So you were also trolling me. Why do you gotta be like this? I was trying to do a little research on something and I could report back to you what I thought of it. But no.
- [44:55]
Joe Getty
See, I'm seeing if anybody emailed it.
- [44:56]
Bobby Bones
Get. We did get a number of texts when I was talking about AI. Like somebody said, is Jack getting paid by some company to talk about AI? Why is he so obsessed with it? I don't understand how people aren't obsessed with it. First of all, it's financially, the money that's being made. The point. That was in the article I was reading earlier. Oh, yeah. AI is going to change the world. It might not just be the way you think and that we might have one of the biggest financial crashes we've ever had because this is all made up. That's how AI might change the world.
- [45:28]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Walmart, CEO issues, Wake up call. AI is going to change literally every job, he said a few days ago. And remember old Vivek Ramaswamy? He's out with a. A plan for all people sharing in the profits of AI. And it'll be like a really healthy minimum basic income for every man, woman and child in America, because there will be very little to do.
- [45:56]
Bobby Bones
So that's a good thing. People won't need to work and that's a good thing. You people are nuts if you think that. You're just. You're crazy.
- [46:03]
Joe Getty
We can lay around all day and do drugs and play video games. That's right. It'll be wonderful. Heaven. Heaven on earth. I hope you said when I was gone doing important, important things that couldn't wait and you were talking to Sandifer and got walls that they're both of the opinion that no, like all technological advances before, AI will enhance productivity and open up more jobs. Just maybe a little different. But I hope they're right.
- [46:31]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's just one aspect of what doomers talk about, though. Even if it doesn't crush employment. Even if that's, you know, fine. It's just the. It's. It's going to get wildly out of control and do whatever it wants and human beings will not. Won't be able to stop it at that point.
- [46:48]

Will only crush employment, connectedness and creativity.

Such your final thought, Katie. All right, moving along to Jack. Jack, final thought.
- [47:45]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I didn't like being trolled there anyway. You gotta mock me like that. That's not a good way for me to head off into the weekend being mocked. I feel like I'm in high school.
- [47:54]
Joe Getty
My final thought? Jane Goodall quote from her obituary in the New York Times on the scientific merits alone, her discoveries about how wild chimpanzees raise their young, established leadership, socialized and communicated, broken new ground and attracted immense attention and respect among researchers. Stephen J. Gould, the evolutionary biologist, said her work with champion chimpanzees represents one of the western world's greatest scientific achievements. Period.
- [48:20]
Bobby Bones
Wow, that's something. And it was kind of accidental.
- [48:22]
Joe Getty
Louis Leakey, the paleontologist, etc. Famously remarked, now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans. Based on her discovery covers wow.
