Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield in Bone Valley season one.
Jeremy Scott's Son
Every time I hear about my dad is, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil.

Jack Armstrong
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Carvana Advertiser
Armstrong and Getty.
Jack Armstrong
And now here's Armstrong and get. Yeah, we're already seeing the effects of Trump's tariffs announcements speech. The stock market was affected. Prices on good goods have hiked. And also we have a viral remix out of it. Yeah, check this out.
Donald Trump
Many of these biggest. The biggest companies in the world, they've committed to build, build, build.
Carvana Advertiser
We're going to build, build, build, sir. Build, sir. Build, build, build. We're going to build, build, build, sir. Build, sir.
Podcast Host
They were wrong about naft.
Carvana Advertiser
They were wrong about nafta. They were wrong about China. China.
Donald Trump
Thank you, everybody.
Podcast Host
Thank you very much.
Jack Armstrong
There you go. Kind of a jam. That's kind of fun.
Carvana Advertiser
They're eating the cats.
Jack Armstrong
AI is going to take all of our jobs and ruin humanity. But that was amusing.
Carvana Advertiser
Sure. So you haven't heard the Democrats. Usually when Trump does something, Democrats are blasting him, but they haven't been. You haven't heard anything out of Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and a lot of people over the whole tariff thing.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that's true.
Carvana Advertiser
Because a lot of Democrats have been saying this same sort of thing for years is part of the reason. So we got a little Nancy Pelosi on the House floor, a much younger Nancy Pelosi. I think she was only 70 in this one. This is 1996.
Nancy Pelosi
In terms of tariffs, I think it's interesting to note that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming into the United States is 2%, whereas the average Chinese MFM tariff on US goods going into China is 35%. Is that reciprocal? In terms of jobs? This is the biggest and cruelest hoax of all.
Carvana Advertiser
Go on, Nancy.
Nancy Pelosi
Not only do we not have market access, not only do they have prohibitive tariffs, not only are our exports not let in very specifically, but China benefits with at least. At least 10 million jobs from US China Trade. China Trade supports 170,000 jobs in the United States. 170,000 jobs, whereas our imports from China support 10 million jobs at least.
Carvana Advertiser
So Trump today would love to have that Nancy Pelosi on the cable news channels arguing, since it's a lot about China today, since they hit us back with the 34% and announced that now she's not getting into why we need to hit Canada so hard or Samoa or, you know.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, fence off China for the moment that, you know, for the purposes of the discussion, I agree with her completely. And at that time, the Republican Party and actually Bill Clinton for quite a while were selling everybody on the idea that, no, no, no, we're going to engage with China and as they get more free trade, they'll become more free, as in more liberalized and become our buddy and part of the world community and blah, blah, blah, and don't worry about it. Some of those jobs may go away, but they'll come back. And Nancy Pelosi was 100% right about that stuff. 100%. How does that make you feel? It's kind of odd, isn't it?
Carvana Advertiser
Well, how about this one? In the whole politics makes strange bedfellows here's Elizabeth Warren.
Elizabeth Warren
Tariffs can be a really valuable tool in the economic toolbox. So think of it this way. You have a prescription filled right now in America. You realize it has a 9 out of 10 chance that that medication was manufactured somewhere overseas, most likely Asia. The materials came probably from China. Putting a tariff in place to get more manufacturing of our antibiotics and other prescription drugs here onshore makes perfect sense. It's targeted, you know, what you're trying to accomplish.
Carvana Advertiser
So I just, I find it. And Bernie's been talking about this his whole life. You know, it's just, it's, it's interesting. If Trump proposes it, a lot of people will are, you know, I'm with you.
Jack Armstrong
And vice versa, of course.
Carvana Advertiser
Absolutely, absolutely. 100%. But if Trump wasn't into this and Biden had proposed this.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, I know, yeah. Some of the gripes about Trump's move right now is it's so blanket and doesn't take into account, you know, the various factors that are so important for trade. It's just, it's way too big and like blunt an instrument and sloppy and fast. And I just, I don't think it's going to stick around, honestly. I think you were quoting someone earlier, last hour, I think it was that the shakeup will last for a little while and then most of it will be retracted and there will be some wins. Trump will identify those wins and they will be wins. And then we'll go back to much closer to trade a week ago, especially with our allies, for goodness sake. But we'll see. We'll see. I'm reading one of my favorite down to earth. Trump is right when he's right, guys, and he's saying this is looney Tunes, it can't work. Those of you who believe Trump is right every single time on every single thing, I don't mean to offend you or anything and we can still be friends. Absolutely. But we'll just have to see. It could be he has a goal in mind that I don't get. That's frequently the defense. It's however many dimensions of chess you'd like to describe. And I'm just too simple minded to grasp the sophisticated strategies at work. Maybe.
Carvana Advertiser
Well, here's Howard Lutnick, Trump's guy on all the channels yesterday.
Jack Armstrong
Mr. Cheerful. Yep. This is the reordering of fair trade. And what happens is people think it's all about tariffs. It's about those non tariff trade barriers. The United States buys everybody's products. They buy, we buy everybody's goods. You just have to treat us fairly.
Carvana Advertiser
So here's something cool for you. Here's a little montage of Trump in the 80s. The 80s, that's 40s years ago. I mean, that's a long time ago. And, but so he's believed this his whole adult business life. He's just going with what he believes.
Jack Armstrong
Our guest, the famed developer Donald Trump of New York.
Donald Trump
The fact is that you don't have free trade. We think of it as free trade, but you right now don't have free trade. And I think a lot of people are tired of watching other countries ripping off the United States. This is a great country. They laugh at us behind our backs. They laugh at us because of our own stupidity. We let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right now and try to sell something, forget about it, Oprah. Just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They are ripping us like we've never ripped before. If you look at Japan, if you look at China, where we lose $100.
Carvana Advertiser
Billion a year with China, he was saying the same thing to Larry King and Oprah Winfrey in the 90s. Is he saying that?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. I think it'll shake out and everybody will be fine. I don't like the current implementation of it, but there's, there's, it's not like it's completely untrue what he's saying. There's plenty of truth there. What was I going to say? Well, yeah, predatory trade we put up with for a very long time as a country because the Republican Party and Wall street and the big money donors said, yeah, a lot of American workers and consumers are getting screwed a little bit, but we're making money hand over fist. And yeah, we would prefer that Japan loosens up their trade, but they've told us they're not going to, and we don't want to ruffle their feathers. And we're still doing really, really well. So we're standing up for us and what works for us. And good luck, y'all. And that was Certainly in the 90s, a pretty good description of the Republican Party, at least at times. So the predatory trade has to end 100%. Yeah. It ought to be more fair whether this is the way to get there or not. We'll all find out together. But yeah, there's, this is so complicated. There are aspects of what the White House is doing that I think are absolutely great. And there are aspects of it that I think, why are you bothering doing that? You're just messing everything up. But again, not only am I not expert enough to predict how this ends up, neither is anybody else.
Carvana Advertiser
Right? A lot of moving pieces.
Jack Armstrong
It's like when you go back in time and step on an ant. You have no concept of how you've changed history.
Carvana Advertiser
Before we take a break, Kanye west is crazy.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Carvana Advertiser
And he says his wife has left him.
Jack Armstrong
He says the Klan robe didn't help Kanye. No.
Carvana Advertiser
And that tweet burst he had a week or so ago. Just endless. You're damn right I'm Hitler and it's the Jews fault and all that. I mean, just endless. All caps. He's screaming out for attention as a guy who's actually mentally ill, which he admits out loud. Anyway, he said yesterday that Bianca Censori, the his always naked wife in high heels, left him after trying to get him committed. She tries to get him committed, right? I'll bet it's not easy to get a billionaire who's not currently hurting himself or others committed.
Jack Armstrong
Well, career wise he is. Certainly financially he is, but not physically. You're allowed to be stupid, evidently, Jack. Her wisdom is as impressive as her bosoms as she realized her man was going to crack up or die if she didn't get him help.
Carvana Advertiser
Which is kind of where Kim Kardashian, I think was also.
Jack Armstrong
Bingo. Yeah.
Carvana Advertiser
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
It's too bad, because he really is a brilliant young man.
Carvana Advertiser
I wonder if when he's not in his crazy mode, he's just like, pretty decent to be around.
Jack Armstrong
I wonder how often those periods of lucidity are these days. I have no idea.
Carvana Advertiser
What he needs is more sleep. And we've been talking a lot about sleep lately because I went through a period of time where I was really struggling to sleep and kept waking up. I think I figured it out around Melatonin. Thanks to one of you texters who'd done a bunch of research and some other ideas we could hit you with. If you got anything, text line 415295KFTC.

Bruce Springsteen, revealing a treasure of never before heard songs, also released seven so called lost albums in June. The collection includes 83 songs he wrote between 1983 and 2018. Springsteen's gonna release seven lost albums.
Jack Armstrong
Where'd you see them last?
Carvana Advertiser
Bruce they were lost because you didn't think they were worth putting out at the time. That's how they got lost. You put them in a drawer metaphorically. Because there wouldn't seem to be any reason to not because you didn't want.
Jack Armstrong
To saturate the market with your work and you know, and dilute how much.
Carvana Advertiser
You sold combined with that didn't stand out enough is like this is the greatest thing I've ever done that you thought you had to have it out right.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. 80% of unreleased stuff is unreleased because it's. It didn't quite work.
Carvana Advertiser
I've gone through tons of Bob Dylan albums that were unreleased stuff and like, one out of ten songs like, wow, this is freaking fantastic. But nine out of ten are like, well, I can see why this was a work in progress.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I'm old and I'm rich, so I'm just putting out everything I got. I don't give a crap anymore.
Carvana Advertiser
Yes. Katie, Didn't.
Jack Armstrong
Didn't he just sell his entire music catalog?
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah. For half a billion dollars. That's why he's on the billionaire list now.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Carvana Advertiser
So I don't know what the putting out so is. So is whoever bought his catalog putting it out. I'll bet that's what it is. They think, okay, we just bought this. We got to make some money off of it.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know. I almost have to see the contract because you could retain rights to unreleased stuff depending on how it was structured.
Carvana Advertiser
83 through 2018. Okay. There was a lot of stuff in the 80s and 90s I liked. Not so much in the last however many years.
Jack Armstrong
I just hope the newer stuff is really, really political.
Carvana Advertiser
Right. Exactly.
Jack Armstrong
That's what I'm looking for. So how you sleep? And you want to take the sleep quiz along with us? Well, it'll be tough because you won't be able to answer it, but we'll. We'll go through that. We've got some good information on sleep coming up.
Carvana Advertiser
Hmm. Okay. Sleep quiz. Do I need a quiz to let me know if I'm not sleeping well? I feel like I know that.
Jack Armstrong
I'm sorry. That's an excellent point. No, the sleep quiz is designed to help you figure out what style of sleeper you are.
Carvana Advertiser
Okay.
Jack Armstrong
And try to craft your life around it. Because we can all just completely restructure our lives to suit our sleeping style.
Carvana Advertiser
Did you.
Jack Armstrong
At least you'd understand it.
Carvana Advertiser
So every country got a tariff? Pretty much, yeah. Including British Indian Ocean territory, they got a 10% tariff yesterday.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Carvana Advertiser
This is seven little islands less than 24 square miles in area. The largest one consists almost entirely of a joint U.S. united Kingdom military base.
Jack Armstrong
Yes. We're going to soak them.
Carvana Advertiser
The seven atolls collectively sent the US an entire $330,000 worth of exports in the last year. We have numbers for that 10% tariff. Maybe they'll come around.
Jack Armstrong
Trump administration announced a 29% tariff on all goods from Norfolk Island, a 13 square mile remote island territory of Australia with about 2,000 people according to the island's administrator, they don't have any trade with the United.
Carvana Advertiser
So what were all the penguin memes yesterday? Did you find that? Endless penguin memes?
Jack Armstrong
No, I missed it completely.
Carvana Advertiser
So, yeah, you go on to Ian Bremmer or lots of different people and it's people who don't like what Trump's doing. But. So there must have been a tariff on some place that's mostly penguins.
Jack Armstrong
Because it was.
Carvana Advertiser
And they were very funny. Yeah, it was endless. It was endless memes about penguins reacting to the tariffs. My favorite one was it was the Oval Office from the famous meeting from a couple of weeks ago. And you got Vance with his hand in the air and Trump with his finger and this penguin sitting on the chair and Trump is saying, you don't have the cards. And the penguin just sitting there playing wide eyes.
Jack Armstrong
Sorry. That's funny. I don't care who you are, how you vote, that's funny. I gotta get into the penguin meme. I was foolishly hanging out with friends and talking about life.
Carvana Advertiser
Oh, God.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Wow. Wow. Okay. All right. We'll see how this all shakes out. I'm hoping it is one of those little whoops's that, you know, just don't even matter. In a few weeks, we won't even think of it again. I certainly hope that's the.
Carvana Advertiser
Which could be similar to like the Columbia thing a couple of weeks ago when he threatened Columbia with something if you don't take back the criminal immigrants or whatever. And then there's like a university.
Jack Armstrong
Not the country you mean, right?
Carvana Advertiser
No country, Columbia.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Carvana Advertiser
Flying the immigrants over there.
Jack Armstrong
It's funny. Kind of same thing with the university.
Carvana Advertiser
Right.
Jack Armstrong
You don't reign in the scumbags, we're going to punish you.
Carvana Advertiser
But it was a really big deal of the threat and then they caved and then it was over. So I don't know if all these countries are going to cave, but yeah, hopefully. Well, whatever. I have no idea.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. After years of woke shows, MAGA comes for the Smithsonian is the very positive article in the National Review.
Carvana Advertiser
I was just there a couple weeks ago with my kids and it was so annoying. Henry. It was driving Henry crazy. He's really highly tuned into woke stuff. It drives him nuts. But God, can we see one animal on display without being lectured about climate change? 1. Or how evil man is and just constant?
Jack Armstrong
Can we see one display of the 1910s without how white people were this, that, the other and that. That has its place in history, but not everything all the time.
Carvana Advertiser
Well, and that's presentism. Because you know, you're judging those people by today's standards.
Jack Armstrong
Right? Yeah. I read a great Think piece several months ago. I never brought it to the air. We just didn't have time. But it was explaining how Trump can reign in woke. And a lot of it was exactly what you're seeing. The funding of universities and research grants. And I can't. There was one other big aspect to it. It'll pop into my head, but one that I thought was interesting was get hold of our museums. We are indoctrinating our people to hate our country through our museums, including the Smithsonian.
Carvana Advertiser
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Maybe next hour we can get into exactly how they're twisting arms, but twisting arms they are. And it's about damn time. Everything woke turns to Amen to that.
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah, I don't need one of the great museums in the world lecturing me on a political issue. Every display I see. So annoying. More on the way. Stay here.
Jack Armstrong
Sleep. Armstrong and Getty.

People should be able to drive whatever car they want without fear of going into a store and someone scratching their car or people yelling at them because of the car that they choose to drive. It's time for all of us, you know, just start getting along and knock this stuff off, man. People should be able to be left alone. The source on that is worth mentioning. The police chief there in Minneapolis, which is one of the most woke cities in America, saying, let people drive whatever they want to drive, for crying out loud. No kidding.
Jack Armstrong
The religious fervor around politics. Calm down.
Carvana Advertiser
So I've been talking about sleep a lot. I was going through a really bad stretch of being able to get to sleep, mostly to stay asleep, and it's horrible. I'd never really had that in my life. And a lot of you have had it your whole life. And it turns out, after doing a little research, half of Americans have sleep problems. And so we just. I won't repeat all the stuff we've discussed because maybe you've heard it already. This person texted today about how they started on amitriptyline, which I'd never even heard of. It's something you take as an antidepressant. Small amounts is great, change their life. So ask your doctor about Amitriptylene. But we got a long. I'm gonna try the ice bath tomorrow, as recommended by one of our best clients, super smart guy. He started jumping into an ice bath in the morning, and he says it changed his sleeping situation. There. There's. We recorded it so we'd know what it sounded like.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Carvana Advertiser
I don't know if I can do it. It sounds horrible. He says it's horrible. Oh, my God. When is it ever gonna seem like a good idea to get up in the morning? It'd be so easy. I'll start tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll jump in the ice bath first thing on the bed.
Jack Armstrong
See, that's the thing. I might believe it. Like I know my own name. Just complete confidence. It's a brilliant idea. The best idea. In day two, I'd be like, no.
Carvana Advertiser
Well. And the theory, he says, behind it, is that it kicks in your fight or flight, and it's good for you. Fight or flight's not everybody's favorite feeling, you know?
Jack Armstrong
Right, right. Especially if you got a bad ticker or what have you. Here's a headline for you. Freezing Fountain of Youth. Just one week of cold plunges could Slow at. Oh yeah, cellular level.
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah, I'm mostly worried about sleep, but. But there's a bunch of studies out right now and saying it helps all kinds of different things. Although I was told by someone who keeps their finger on the pulse of what's cool and hot in LA that the whole ice bath thing is super popular in LA right now and everybody's getting the, you know, six to ten thousand dollar ice bath thing in their house and oh, anything that becomes a popular trend in la, I tend to think maybe, maybe not.
Jack Armstrong
And the other thing I'm looking at this study, it's not like I've examined the methodology or whatever, but I can cite a hundred different cures and revitalizings and youthification whatevers that cite some study. And the study's either entirely fictional or the fix was in and I don't know which one this is. This might be a great idea. It makes sense on kind of an intuitive level. It does walk out into and, and those of us who haven't lived in a cold, cold climate for a long time. Maybe you don't remember or you don't know this or you don't remember it, but you walk out into a really cold day and you suddenly feel more alive than you've felt in years.
Carvana Advertiser
Absolutely. And I say that to my kids all the time when, like if we're back in, in Kansas for Christmas or something when it's cold like it was this last time. Oh my God. You just, whoa, I'm ready to go. Yeah, just whatever happens to your body when you get cold like that, you.
Jack Armstrong
Know, it's funny, this bothered me for years. I won't bother slagging particular book, I've slagged many times. But people have all these complicated sociological, colonialist, oppressor style theories of why the northern why away from the equator developed so much industry and science and technology and the really hot parts of the.
Carvana Advertiser
World didn't still true.
Jack Armstrong
And everybody has these, like I say, you know, well, because of the exploitation of colonialism, blah blah, blah. Well, how those colonial powers get advanced enough to be colonial powers. I've lived in cold places, I've lived in hot places and when it's cold you feel like doing stuff and when it's hot you feel like laying around.
Carvana Advertiser
It's as simple as that might be. It might be.
Jack Armstrong
And you want to do this. It's too hot. That is the answer.
Carvana Advertiser
So I want quickly on the melatonin thing just because I wanted to throw that in. Lots of you tried melatonin every store in America now has melatonin. Lots of us give it to our kids for better or worse. I worry about changing the brain chemistry so your brain doesn't produce melatonin anymore and all those sorts of things. But anyway, how much do you take? Well, I was, as a good Alcoholic, if 5 is good, 10's got to be better. So I was taking 10 to get to sleep and then a 10 laying there. If I woke up to take again and it wouldn't really do anything. Well, we got a text from somebody who'd done a bunch of research, talked to a bunch of doctors and said weirdly enough, if you take more than like five or ten, it goes the other direction. It keeps you awake. You want to take like one or two. And I thought, I don't know why that would work. But I started, I got some of the low dose ones like the two and a half and I've been breaking them in half and taking one and sleeping soundly on 10% of the melatonin I was taking before. So give it a whirl, see if it works.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. Clearly biochemistry, more is not always better. So I'm trying to decide if there's any value.
Carvana Advertiser
When is more not better? More pie, more booze, more money, more sex, everything you need more of.
Jack Armstrong
It's a good point. So I'm not sure if this has any value to do on the air for folks. Maybe it does. It's the Sleep Doctor Sleep Quiz, which beloved listener so Dr. Oz thing. Maybe Lisa suggested and they go into the different styles of sleep, your chrono type. And you can be a bear or a lion or a wolf or a dolphin. And she thinks, which one's the one? That's probably a dolphin. Jack is a wolf or a dolphin.
Carvana Advertiser
Which one's the one that lays there regretting their past?
Jack Armstrong
Oh boy. So the bear is the most common human chronotype found in roughly 55% of the population. People with a bear chronotype, like bears in the wild, essentially follow the sun, waking up when the sun rises in the early morning and retiring as darkness falls in the early evening.
Carvana Advertiser
That's my dad.
Jack Armstrong
Their peak Productivity hours are 10:00am to 2:00pm that's something.
Carvana Advertiser
Your peak hours are 10 to 2. That's my I'll be lucky if I don't crash my car or fall out of my chair hours.
Jack Armstrong
Right, right.
Carvana Advertiser
Oh my God.
Jack Armstrong
Slack jawed, watery eyes hours, one o'clock in the afternoon.
Carvana Advertiser
I've always wondered, how does anybody do anything this time of day? It's the worst time of day.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I find myself wondering whether that's because believe it or not, this show is kind of tiring to do and at the end of it I'm at least mentally exhausted. I wonder if that's why that I've.
Carvana Advertiser
Always been that way. I remember in high school, after lunch on 1:00 math class, it's just like I'm gonna die. I don't know if I can stay upright.
Jack Armstrong
Gonna fall asleep and break my teeth on my desk as my head falls. Anyway, people with the lion chronotype tend to wake up early, often around 5am and feel most energetic and productive before noon. There was a time I crafted my life intentionally like that. I woke up on the weekends at like 4:30 in the morning, same time I got up for work and I would write early in the morning I was incredibly productive. But then around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I mean you, I had to like now I won't say do a giant line of cocaine because I don't but I was so damn tired I was tempted anyway.
Carvana Advertiser
I would do a giant line of cocaine and me and the kids would.
Jack Armstrong
Go to the park with my fellow lions. That's right. Lions tend to feel the most accomplished when they tackle their daily to do list as soon as possible. As energy levels begin to fall in the early afternoon, lions typically wind down in the early evening and fall asleep no later than 10pm Roughly 15% of people have the lion chronotype. I might be that, but I like smacktails.
Carvana Advertiser
So sometimes you're a lion who drinks?
Jack Armstrong
I'm a drinking lion, so. So yeah, sleeping in a little bit sometimes feels good. Uh, if you know someone who is not a morning person, chances are they are a wolf. About 15% of the population. As this chronotype, wolves wake up later in the day, feel most protect productive between 10am and 4pm they'll also get bursts of energy in the evening. Midnight or later is common bedtime for wolves.
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah, that's funny. I'm, I don't know, I, I'm pretty good at that. But I, when I wake up in the morning I'm as alert as I get all day long immediately, thank God. And I have one kid that's like that and another kid who's like his mom where wakes up and just like yeah, don't talk to me. I need like a half hour to ease into the day. I just barely know my name.
Jack Armstrong
Maybe you're a lion, you just need to admit it. I Don't know. And about 10% of people have the dolphin chronotype, which is the hardest to form a schedule around. Pardon me?
Carvana Advertiser
They got a blowhole.
Jack Armstrong
Without sacrificing sleep quality. This chronotype gets its name because dolphins in the wild remain alert while sleeping to evade predators. People with this chronotype tend to be sensitive to light and noise while they sleep. That's me for sure. And prone to fragmented sleep patterns. Many are considered insomniacs. However, dolphins have a strong productivity window between 10:00am and 2:00pm I'm a dolphin. You're sensitive to light for sleeping and sound. Yeah, I need to, you know, like, pillow over my head or eye shades or white noise. I used to do earplugs, but now I just use my phone for the noise I have. Yeah, I use a fan.
Carvana Advertiser
I could lay down on the floor right here and go to sleep right now and you guys could keep doing the show with the lights on and the noise and I'd be fine and.
Jack Armstrong
Clearly mocking you while we did it.
Carvana Advertiser
And then you get a magic marker and draw things on my face.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, of course we do. Yeah. Do you want to hear some behavioral protocols to help you optimize sleep and quality and duration? Yes, please. Morning sunlight exposure is good. It's. Oh, it's great. Get outside within 30 to 60 minutes of waking up to view natural sunlight for 5 to 20 minutes longer on cloudy days.
Carvana Advertiser
Blah, blah, blah.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Sets your circadian rhythm by triggering cortisol release and suppressing melatonin.
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah, my dad, naturally, has always lived that way.
Jack Armstrong
Limit bright light at night. Similar note, consistent sleep schedule. We all know that, right? It's all about your circadian rhythms.
Carvana Advertiser
Yeah, man, I don't know. Between, I don't know, having kids, the consistent life, the sleep schedule has always been hard.
Jack Armstrong
But yeah, let's see. There are a few more. They're great. After word from our friends at Prize Picks, baseball season has begun. The basketball players are starting to play like they mean it.

Carvana Advertiser
The one thing I still have never heard anybody address around sleep. And some people nap and some people don't. I'm a napper. Or just like I'm built to nap. I don't get to nap that often, but I'm built for it. And I can just fall right asleep and it doesn't matter how much screen time I got or eating or whatever. All the things that they claim ruin your sleep. I'll sleep like the dead if it's 1:00 in the afternoon.
Jack Armstrong
So why?
Carvana Advertiser
What is that? I don't know. I've never heard anybody address that.
Jack Armstrong
Maybe you're a dolphin. Temperature control. Keep bedroom cool to facilitate the natural drop in core body temperature needed for sleep.
Carvana Advertiser
I hate sleeping if it's hot.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, colder the better. You want to hear the warm bed on a cold atmosphere is the best thing.
Carvana Advertiser
You want to hear the most disturbing thing I know about Joe Katie.
Jack Armstrong
Oh Lord.
Carvana Advertiser
He sleeps with socks on.
Jack Armstrong
What?
Carvana Advertiser
I know. Like a psychopath.
Jack Armstrong
Well, that's fair. Oh, I would go. I would lose.
Carvana Advertiser
I would give you the nuclear codes or whatever.
Jack Armstrong
You need better socks.
Carvana Advertiser
I would give you any information. You want to get these socks off me so I can go to sleep.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, no. It keeps your feet nice and warm.
Carvana Advertiser
Oh my God. That's what the blankets are for.
Jack Armstrong
Let's see. A warm bath or shower one to two hours before bed can also help by causing a rapid cooldown afterward, signaling sleepiness. That's interesting.
Carvana Advertiser
Jump on an ice bath so your fight or flight kicks in. You're afraid you're gonna die and then sleep.
Jack Armstrong
Better engage in physical activity during the day, ideally in the morning or afternoon. Exercise raises body temperature and boosts alertness. Don't do it. Bed. Who exercises before bed? Really? Stop it. You're a weirdo.
Carvana Advertiser
She haven't hit a caffeine one yet. Like don't drink caffeine after whatever time.
Jack Armstrong
Food timing and type. Finish eating two to three hours before bed. Caffeine management. Limit caffeine in the morning. Blah, blah, blah. Avoid it. Eight to ten hours before bed. Caffeine blocks adenosine. Jazz.
Carvana Advertiser
I knew it.
Jack Armstrong
A sleep promoting chemical. So timing matters.
Carvana Advertiser
I was talking to somebody about this the other day who had this experience for the first time drinking coffee late in the day. The feeling you get if you're caffeinated when you're trying to sleep. Your legs, it's like you can't. I can't get my legs to stay still if I've drank caffeine too late in the day.
Jack Armstrong
Oh boy. It's just such an uncomfortable restless leg syndrome. Yeah.
Carvana Advertiser
Such a horrible feeling.
Jack Armstrong
Alcohol avoidance.
Carvana Advertiser
Shut up. Why don't you shut up?
Jack Armstrong
Minimize or avoid alcohol especially close to bedtime. It does affect your REM sleep, leading to poor rest, blah, blah. On the other hand, my problems. What problems? I don't remember them. Have a wind down routine and how to handle wake up. If you wake up at night and can't fall asleep within 20 to 25 minutes, get out of bed and do a relaxing activity like reading with dim light to avoid associating your bed with wakefulness.
Carvana Advertiser
I just don't believe that would have been funny. That was close. Good catch.
Jack Armstrong
You don't believe that. This is science. I'm awake now. I know the socks of science.
Carvana Advertiser
You need to associate your bed with sleeping. So don't do other things in your bed because your brain will think we're. No, I don't believe that at all.
Jack Armstrong
It's like last night I woke up three times in exactly an hour between each. I'm not gonna get up and go do something. Yeah, well, deny science then.
Carvana Advertiser
Go ahead, get more on the way.
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty.

If the cops and everything would have done the job properly, my dad would have been in jail. I would have never existed.

So did the NCAA women's go all four number one seeds? Also don't know that four teams all ranked number one ranked during the season. Who wins the NCAA Women's basketball national title? I don't know if those are separate questions or not, but topics, but I've seen so many news outlets trying to jam in lots of women's Final Four stuff NWNBA stuff to try to, you know, be fair and equity and I just don't think there's an audience for it.
Jack Armstrong
Not the WNBA so much, but the women's NCAA tournament was higher ratings last year because of Caitlin Clark than the men's.
Carvana Advertiser
Right? That is right. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I watched South Carolina Duke the other day, the Gals game and it was. I was on an airplane so it was kind of captive, but it was really good game. Entertaining. Anyway, so I wanted to just touch on this again real briefly. The President reforming the Smithsonian Institution are trying to because it's so damned woke. And it's worth reviewing the Museum of the American Latinos first exhibition. It hasn't actually opened yet.
Carvana Advertiser
Wow. So there's the other part of it is when I was searching which museums were open, there's a whole bunch of identity politics museums now that I didn't even know existed.
Jack Armstrong
Right. Well, it's on view in the American History Museum right now until the American Latino Museum's new home is finished. All of this is ridiculous. Every ethnicity gets their own museum. That's not the idea of this country.
Carvana Advertiser
It's already happened.
Jack Armstrong
I know. But anyway, their first exhibition, Present Day was so conceited, dumb, pious, dopey and deceitful. I'm quoting, who is this Brian Allen? And I remember reading about this at the time that even Latino people were like this is awful. It portrays us as just poor Pathetic victims. And so the funding was threatened to be yanked and and everybody hated it. It was so woke which in retrospect should have been a message that hey the woke crowd is losing Latinos cuz they were House appropriations committee voted to defund the museum museum Understanding it present day is a taste of things to come.
Carvana Advertiser
I was looking through a bunch of therapists the other day for a family member and reading all the little bios of these different therapists. One thing that Covid brought us that is good is so many people it normalized zoom therapy so it like opens up the whole mostly state because you have to be state licensed but anyway you're not just relegated to your own town anymore. Any who I was looking through all these little blurbs and the number of them that would mention Latinx and I'm like okay, you're out immediately 100%. How are you at this point not aware that that's a joke?
Jack Armstrong
So one more thing I want to squeeze in Trump administration. The executive order cited the horrifying 2020 talking about race portal in talking about how they're going to reign in the Smithsonian that anchors the youth education program at the Museum of African American History and Culture. This is what they teach youth. In a section called aspects and assumptions of white culture. The museum said that whiteness bad includes objectivity, rational linear thinking along with self reliance, independence. Hard work is the key to success, planning for the future, respect for the law and property, good grammar, marriage and most of all, bland food.
Carvana Advertiser
What that was in the museum?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that was the center of their youth education at the Museum of African.
Carvana Advertiser
American History National Museum.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Carvana Advertiser
That is incredible hard work.
Jack Armstrong
Independence, planning for the future are white supremacy and they're bad.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand – Episode: More Pie. More Booze. More Money.
Release Date: April 4, 2025
In this episode, hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty dive deep into the complexities of recent trade policies under the Trump administration. The discussion centers around Trump's aggressive stance on tariffs and its ripple effects on the global market.
Trump’s Tariff Strategy: Jack opens the conversation by addressing President Trump's latest tariff announcements, highlighting their immediate impact on the stock market and consumer prices. A notable moment includes a remixed clip of Trump declaring, “We’re going to build, build, build, sir,” which serves as a humorous yet pointed critique of the administration's relentless push for industrial expansion (02:10).
Nancy Pelosi’s Critique: The hosts analyze former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 1996 remarks on tariffs, emphasizing her argument about the unfair trade imbalance with China. Pelosi stated, “Our imports from China support 10 million jobs at least,” underscoring the detrimental effect of high tariffs on American jobs (04:04). Armstrong and Getty agree, noting, “Nancy Pelosi was 100% right about that stuff. 100%” (05:27).
Elizabeth Warren on Targeted Tariffs: Elizabeth Warren's perspective introduces a nuanced approach to tariffs. She argues, “Putting a tariff in place to get more manufacturing of our antibiotics and other prescription drugs here onshore makes perfect sense” (05:33). This highlights the potential benefits of strategic tariffs in safeguarding critical industries.
Market Reactions and Future Outlook: The conversation shifts to the broader implications of Trump’s tariff policies. Armstrong predicts, “I think the shakeup will last for a little while and then most of it will be retracted” (06:16), suggesting that the administration may identify specific areas where tariffs could yield positive outcomes while retracting blanket measures that harm the economy.
The hosts address recent tumultuous behavior from Kanye West, delving into his public declarations of mental instability and personal struggles.
Kanye’s Public Struggles: Getty remarks on Kanye's erratic behavior, mentioning his recent tweet: “You’re damn right I’m Hitler and it’s the Jews’ fault” (10:59). This sparks a discussion on the fine line between seeking attention and revealing genuine mental health issues. Jack comments, “Clearly mocking you while we did it” (33:25), emphasizing the challenges of addressing mental health openly.
Impact on Personal Life: The conversation touches on Kanye’s personal life, particularly his relationship with Bianca Censori. Getty humorously notes, “He says the Klan robe didn’t help Kanye. No,” reflecting on the absurdity of certain public statements and their repercussions (11:07).
Armstrong and Getty shift gears to discuss rock legend Bruce Springsteen’s announcement of releasing seven previously unheard albums, containing 83 songs written between 1983 and 2018.
Unreleased Gems: Getty highlights the significance of these releases, stating, “Bruce Springsteen is gonna release seven lost albums” (15:01). The hosts speculate on the quality and content of these tracks, with Armstrong expressing skepticism: “80% of unreleased stuff is unreleased because it didn’t quite work” (15:43).
Market Saturation Concerns: They debate the potential oversaturation of the market, noting that releasing a vast number of albums at once might dilute the impact of Springsteen’s music. Getty adds, “I just hope the newer stuff is really, really political” (16:38), hoping for meaningful content amidst the flurry of releases.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the topic of sleep, exploring different sleep chronotypes and methods to improve sleep quality.
Chronotypes Explained: Armstrong introduces the concept of chronotypes, categorizing people into bears, lions, wolves, and dolphins based on their sleep patterns and productivity peaks.
Bears (55% of population): Follow the sun, productive between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Jack humorously relates to their slump in the afternoon: “I've been talking a lot about sleep lately because... I wonder if that's why that I've...” (29:36).
Lions (15%): Early risers, most productive before noon. Getty shares his past routine: “I woke up on the weekends at like 4:30 in the morning” (31:19).
Wolves (15%): Late risers, productive in the late afternoon and evening. Beckham relates to wolves’ late-night productivity bursts (32:09).
Dolphins (10%): Highly sensitive to light and noise, often insomniacs. Jack identifies with this group, noting his sensitivity to environmental disturbances (32:41).
Sleep Optimization Techniques: The hosts discuss various strategies to enhance sleep quality, including:
Morning Sunlight Exposure: Triggering cortisol release to set circadian rhythms (33:19).
Limiting Bright Light at Night: To maintain melatonin levels and promote better sleep (33:50).
Temperature Control: Keeping the bedroom cool to facilitate sleep, contrasted with Getty’s humorous take on wearing socks to bed (35:57).
Avoiding Stimulants: Managing caffeine intake and alcohol consumption to prevent disruptions in REM sleep (37:08).
Innovative Remedies: A notable segment explores unconventional methods like ice baths. Getty shares a client’s testimonial: “He started jumping into an ice bath in the morning, and it changed his sleeping situation” (25:17). While Jack remains skeptical, he acknowledges the possible physiological benefits of such practices (26:43).
Armstrong and Getty delve into the contentious topic of cultural representation within major institutions like the Smithsonian.
Woke Culture in Museums: The hosts critique recent exhibitions, particularly the Museum of the American Latinos' first exhibition, which they describe as “so woke” and counterproductive (41:29). Jack criticizes the portrayal of white culture in the Museum of African American History and Culture, stating, “Independence, planning for the future are white supremacy and they're bad” (44:12).
Government Intervention: They discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to reform such institutions, aiming to curb what they perceive as excessive political indoctrination. Armstrong highlights an executive order targeting the Smithsonian’s educational programs: “We are indoctrinating our people to hate our country through our museums” (43:23).
Public and Institutional Reactions: The response from various communities, including Latino groups, is mentioned, pointing out the backlash against perceived negative stereotypes and oversimplified narratives in museum exhibits (41:39).
Throughout the episode, Armstrong and Getty navigate a range of topics from international trade and celebrity antics to deep dives into cultural institutions and personal health. Their blend of humor, critical analysis, and personal anecdotes provides listeners with a comprehensive overview of current events and enduring issues.
