Episode Overview

In this episode, Armstrong & Getty clear out the "sound fridge" to make room for a freezer full of deer meat—a playful metaphor for running through a collection of leftover clips, stories, and commentaries. The hosts and crew riff on cookie temptation, odd news items, and some classic celebrity stories. Key segments include light banter about food, commentary on current and odd news (including a unique story about identical quadruplets), a notable Jay Leno anecdote, a critique of a female locksmith's business challenge, and a hilariously bizarre look at the German deer-calling championship.

[Armstrong]

Gotta clean out sound fridge to make room for the deer meat. It's one more thing.

[Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Armstrong]

One more thing. All will become clear. Stay with us.

[Co-host or Guest]

That reminds me, my actual refrigerator is. Got so many cookies in it. My son made as part of a dinner last night, he made what he call white chips.

[Armstrong]

There's still white chocolate chips.

[Co-host or Guest]

White chocolate chips. Do you call that. Do you still just call it a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie? Anyway, it's a white chocolate chocolate chip, but he made a ton of cookies and they got a bunch of batter to make the rest of them. And I can't have cookies around the house.

[Armstrong]

Oh, I'm not.

[Co-host or Guest]

I'm not strong enough for that.

[Armstrong]

No, no. Boy, I love oatmeal cookies.

[Podcast Host]

Oh.

[Co-host or Guest]

Fresh out of the oven from scratch. Oatmeal cookies with white chocolate chips. How many could you eat in a day? Easily? I mean, I could easily eat five in a day. I mean, without effort.

[Armstrong]

What are you, a child? I know.

[Co-host or Guest]

I mean, I could not even with

[Michael]

a cup of coffee have.

[Armstrong]

Have three for breakfast. It's oatmeal. Seriously.

[Co-host or Guest]

I know.

[Armstrong]

Probably better than a lot of, like, bars you can eat that are candy.

[Podcast Host]

Almost.

[Co-host or Guest]

Almost certainly.

[Han]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

It's a fair amount of sugar there.

[Co-host or Guest]

I might eat 10 today.

[Armstrong]

The oatmeal cookie is a fine cookie. No doubt. All right, so we're cleaning out the sound fridge. Metal guy, you ready? There we go. Why don't we start With a couple of jokes we didn't. Were there a couple of them we didn't use, Michael?

[Michael]

Yeah, there's. Here's one right here. All right.

[Armstrong]

Minnesota governor Tim Wall signed a bill into law last week that allows assisted living facilities and nursing homes to serve alcohol to residents.

[Han]

That way, they can just tell you your kids visited.

[Armstrong]

Go. That's nice. I don't remember, but that's nice. That just made me sad. That's a rough joke. Jeez Louise. You got any jokes that are funny and not sad, Michael?

[Michael]

Well, here's one that's just. Well, it's got felt.

[Co-host or Guest]

So here's a joke about lonely old people.

[Armstrong]

On Monday, an armed suspect set off an incendiary device outside a federal building in Manhattan. Once caught, the suspect yelled, get your hands off me. I'm the mayor.

[Co-host or Guest]

We didn't. We didn't talk about that story. That was one of the dumbest plans anybody's ever come up with. The guy's clearly got problems. He also appeared to be about 4ft tall.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, a hobbit. I didn't know we were allowing hobbits in the military, but what a dumb plan.

[Co-host or Guest]

He had like a hatchet and a BB gun and just. What are you gonna do there?

[Armstrong]

What he was hoping to do. What was. He was wearing a helmet accomplish?

[Co-host or Guest]

I don't know.

[Armstrong]

Sounds like he's a bit of a soft head. So the helmet was a good one. Is that it on the jokes, Michael, or we got any more?

[Michael]

Yeah, that's it.

[Armstrong]

I don't remember number six. Am I not paying attention?

[Michael]

Yeah, well, do six guys listen to this?

[Co-host or Guest]

I read that nine new emojis are

[Armstrong]

coming out next year, including a pickle emoji.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, the eggplant emoji had a good run, you know, after all, I could

[Han]

say

[Co-host or Guest]

you had that good, lonely, old. Do you have anything about euthanizing the family cat or anything like that?

[Armstrong]

Oh, geez. What? All right, moving on to the oddballs and randos classification. This is rock legend Tommy Lee. He the drummer of what? Motley Cruel, Married to Pam Anderson for a time.

[Co-host or Guest]

I've seen his. I've seen him in action.

[Armstrong]

I believe I have seen his drumstick myself. His. His eggplant, if you will. I don't remember the circumstance.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah, why did.

[Armstrong]

Why have I seen that sex tape with Pam Anderson?

[Co-host or Guest]

I think I had backstage tickets for a crew concert. I was really drunk. He and I got hit it off. Maybe that's why.

[Tony Ayo]

I don't know.

[Armstrong]

He asked, are you. I curious. That was that Was probably the moment. Yes. Anyway, here's the great Tommy Lee.

[Jay Leno]

I was with my bass player, and we were doing heroin, and we ran out, and it's like, what are you gonna do? We unscrewed the cap on a fifth of Jack and filled up the cap with Jack and then pulled a couple syringes, and we're shooting Jack Daniels. I was like. It was at that moment where I went, okay, we can just drink this, but we're shooting it, right? This is wrong. And somebody's gonna.

[Armstrong]

Do you even remember the sensation of shooting booze?

[Co-host or Guest]

Did it do anything differently?

[Jay Leno]

Yeah, you could taste it.

[Armstrong]

Oh, wow.

[Jay Leno]

You know, like you taste heroin.

[Co-host or Guest]

I have a friend, one of the healthiest people I ever knew in my life. Ate right, exercised all the time. That kind of guy got done with a hike and slumped over the steering wheel of his car with a major heart attack, Dead when he was, like, 50. Then you got people like this. The drummer from Motley Crue who's injecting whiskey into his veins, who's still alive. Hey, God, explain all that.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next clip is quite long of Jay Leno and Adam Corolla. Jack, you're familiar with that.

[Co-host or Guest]

How long is it?

[Armstrong]

A minute and a half. I mean, like, we're going anywhere. Go ahead.

[Co-host or Guest]

Is that entertaining, Hanson? I mean, I know the story, but is it total? It's two comedians. Maybe it's funny because it's two comedians talking. We could always edit it out if it's not.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, let's just roll it.

[Han]

When I was doing the Tonight Show, I was making 30 million a year. It was ridiculous, okay? And NBC said, well, we're gonna have to cut half the crew. You know, so we had a big meeting. I said, all right, Bo, show of hands. How many fail? I should take a 50% pay cut so we can keep everybody. Well, I got outvoted, and I said, well, I got screwed on that one. But really, I already have $15 million. I'm doing pretty good. You know, I never thought I'd get this far. And you know something? They were the best crew for the rest of the days. You know, everything was always terrific. It was a union crew. Everybody made a good living. You know, guys would come up and show me the car they bought or the house they got around the corner or whatever it might be. And it didn't cost me anything, really, because I had plenty of money. I was making plenty of money.

[Armstrong]

What year did you take the haircut? From 30 to 15.

[Han]

It was in the 2000s maybe 2005 from that point on.

[Armstrong]

I think the legend is, is that you always kept all those Tonight show checks.

[Co-host or Guest]

Oh, yeah.

[Armstrong]

And made your money doing live performances.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah. Corporate things and stuff like that.

[Han]

Yeah, you got to be hungry.

[Co-host or Guest]

I, I, I live on.

[Han]

I, I used to live week to week.

[Armstrong]

Did you literally just put those checks,

[Jay Leno]

you know, in the bank?

[Co-host or Guest]

And I loved all the money I

[Han]

made as a stand up. Yeah. I wanted to be a comedian. I never thought TV was a job that would Last year.

[Armstrong]

How many years did you do that?

[Han]

Till the very end? I never touched any of it.

[Co-host or Guest]

Isn't that interesting? He was making $30 million a year, then $15 million a year. He didn't spend any of that money. All that lifestyle he had, he earned as a comedian, which is what he wanted to do. He wanted to be. I live this way because I am a on the road comedian who's very successful. That's what he wanted to be.

[Armstrong]

And if I start spending any of this TV money, I'll lose my hunger. Yeah, that's, you know, that ended up being way more interesting than I expected.

[Co-host or Guest]

I've heard him tell that story before and I, I've told my Jay Leno story before. I spent some time with him because he came to the town I was working in at the time, and I went and picked him up at the airport, which was an hour and a half away. I picked him up at the airport and drove him an hour and a half in the car to this crappy motel that he stayed in during the day to take a nap before he did his show at night, which was fantastic. And then drove him all the way back to the airport and he flew back to California to be there the next day for his Tonight show gig. I mean, that's schlepping around. Yeah, you got that kind of money, you don't need to live this lifestyle. But he wanted to be a comedian, so.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, that's so interesting, huh?

[Co-host or Guest]

How about the very few people are ever in this sort of position. You're making $30 million a year and they tell you you got to cut half of your crew. Well, or I could struggle to get by on $15 million a year. And we keep everybody right.

[Armstrong]

Yeah. I'd imagine that made him popular.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

You know, it's funny, as we were discussing that clip and whether to play it right here, I was reminded of before the show, we do a quick meeting where we go over what audio we have and what do we need and that sort of thing. And I'll Say hello. And once in a while it happens. And I've never, have never commented on this before during the meeting, but I'm going to comment on it now. Sometimes when Michael or Han or Katie, sometimes. And she will be back eventually. Are describing a clip and why it's a good clip. The description will be significantly longer than the clip itself. And I think, why didn't we just play the clip anyway? We were getting dangerously close to that in our Jay Leno discussion. Let's see. Michael, does 12 need any setup?

[Michael]

No, I don't think so.

[Armstrong]

It's a.

[Michael]

Well, it's a. Australian woman had a surprise, gave birth to four identical girls.

[Armstrong]

And this is a doctor.

[Co-host or Guest]

I thought you were going to say kangaroos.

[Michael]

No, this is a doctor talking.

[Podcast Host]

It's amazing, to be honest. Particularly the fact that this was spontaneously conceived. We do see multiple pregnancies more often with fertility treatments, particularly ivf. But for this to be spontaneously conceived, for the conception to happen. So one fertilized egg that then splits not once, not twice, but three times into four different babies who then share a placenta. That is just amazing. And to end up with four beautiful babies and a beautiful family now of 10.

[Getty]

Wow.

[Armstrong]

So they had four kids, now they got eight

[Co-host or Guest]

identical. Which I guess is very, very rare.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

How in the world are you going to tell those kids apart depending on how identical you are? I had a good friend of mine in high school, his sisters were identical. Tw and he had to like walk around and like look at them for a while to tell which one was which.

[Armstrong]

Wow.

[Co-host or Guest]

They were like really identical.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

Nobody in high school had any idea which one they were all the time.

[Armstrong]

Right, right. They play hilarious pranks or.

[Co-host or Guest]

I don't remember that.

[Armstrong]

Switch identities or try out each other's boyfriends.

[Co-host or Guest]

You'd have to end up in situations where that wasn't me, that was. You're mad at the wrong person.

[Armstrong]

Wow. I've actually heard about that being used as a defense in a criminal case. I wasn't there. Was my twin and the twins like, no, it wasn't. Which one was it? Copper. Yeah, tough stuff. Any setup needed for 13 Michael, 27

[Michael]

year old woman unhappy with men. I'll just leave it at that.

[Armstrong]

Okay, do we need to know her profession?

[Michael]

She's a locksmith.

[Armstrong]

Okay.

[Podcast Host]

What?

[Locksmith Woman]

I'm a locksmith in the city. And I'm tired of all these locksmith men taking my jobs just because they have more money to market themselves. So I also want to feel safer and I want women to feel Safer. So how about you call me instead when you're locked out, instead of giving business to all these creepy men?

[Armstrong]

All right, that was just odd. So she resents people who have money to market their business.

[Michael]

Correct.

[Han]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

Okay.

[Co-host or Guest]

That's a good angle, though. If she could come up with the money to market. You're a woman. You locked yourself out of your car. It's late at night or whatever. Don't call some random dude. Call me.

[Armstrong]

Right. Yeah. Yeah. For that sort of call and even for, like, installing locks and stuff like that, she could say, I understand what it's like to be in a. A woman in a city that has this much crime. I want to help you feel. That'd be a great pitch. Maybe she should quit bitching and do something about her situation.

[Podcast Host]

Wow.

[Armstrong]

Well, she just had the whiny voice of the victim.

[Co-host or Guest]

Wait a minute. Yeah, like somebody had done this to her.

[Han]

Right.

[Armstrong]

That's why I pulled the clip, dumbass. Anyway, so that, you know, that was over the line. She'll mature. Yeah, I didn't like her attitude.

[Getty]

The headlines, they move on. But the heartache and the terror, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target Israel. Hezbollah continues its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. Even when the news crews leave the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they remain. Every day they are on the ground providing life saving aid. Now, near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yelena. Widowed earlier this year and living alone, she was trapped inside by the blast. Thankfully, she was not injured, but she remained displaced. It's hard these days, she says, but I don't want to leave. Well, as Christians, we are called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. I want you to join the international fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the soldiers, families and civilians carrying the burden of this fight right now.

[Armstrong]

Finally, we played this at the beginning of the radio show. It's definitely worth encore presentation. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the sounds of a German deer calling competition.

[Co-host or Guest]

That's pretty funny that you labeled it that way, Michael, when we all know there was a construction worker in the stall next to you and you had

[Armstrong]

your phone out and he had this cyclosporasis thingy. Wow. Oh, now I'm looking at the pictures. Wow, that's. Oh Lord. Oh my God. They're all. They have their mouths wide open and they are manipulating this tubular looking thing and stroking their hand up and down. It's. Well, leaves very little to the imagination, huh?

[Co-host or Guest]

And then the idea is to call the moose so it'll come closer so you can kill it.

[Armstrong]

Deer. Yes, dear. Yeah, yeah.

[Michael]

They've been doing this in Germany for 800 years apparently.

[Armstrong]

Well, I wonder if there are primitive, primitive examples of that device. I wonder what they're. They're called those things. It's probably some 43 letter long German word, right?

[Tony Ayo]

Yes.

[Armstrong]

That's easy. Dear Wisdom Kollermanachen. This is. This is the deer calling apparatus of the.

[Co-host or Guest]

With an o with two dots above it.

[Armstrong]

Oh, several of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If he calls the deer. The deer come close, then he kills them.

[Han]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

I am the best. I've killed many deer. Yeah, some weird nuts. You gotta. Can we post that video at mail at hot under hotlinks armstrongandgetty.com not for children. I mean, it's a bunch of old German guys calling deer. But it really looks like they're. They're pleasuring, you know?

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, anyway, stroking their Reich stuff.

[Han]

What?

[Co-host or Guest]

Hey, metal guy.

[Michael]

That.

[Co-host or Guest]

That was an episode of

[Armstrong]

There you go.

[Co-host or Guest]

Had a punctuation there.

[Michael]

Well, I guess that's it.
