Armstrong live from Studio C. Senor, deep within the dirty, stinking bowels of the Armstrong and Yeti information complex, this is the Armstrong and Yeti show live. Unless you're listening in the Future via podcast. October 7th, year of our Lord 2025. This morning, under the tutelage of honorary general manager the Two Stooges, J.B. pritzker and Brandon Johnson of Illinois Chicago, I almost went with the only human being on the planet who's currently getting more ink, as we used to say in the journalism business, the only human being getting more coverage on Earth than Donald Trump. And that would be Taylor Swift, who at least temporarily is out trumping Trump. But more on that to come. Jack has joined us. That's exciting.
A
Too much vomiting going on in my house.
F
Oh, gee, many Christmas. That's a hell of an entrance. That's a hell of a. How are you?
A
It just is.
F
Normally people say, hey, how's it going? So much vomiting. How are you?
A
Oh, my God. Hold on, Katie.
F
I'm sorry you have to be part of this.
A
I'm gonna put the trash can on the chair right behind me.
F
Oh, color's a little off there, Jack.
A
Oh, it feels off. I just started pouring sweat in my car like 15 minutes ago. I was like, what's going on here? Yesterday, I had a sick kid at home. It had been a number of years since I had dealt with that. You know, the. The cleanup. I won't get into the details. Every parent. Every parent has done that, though.
F
You got so many times, so many.
A
Bottles of cleaning agents and paper towels and towels and stuff like that. And. Oh, my God. And I thought while I was doing that, I thought, is there any chance I avoid catching this? Which I think I already had. But anyway, that's a, you know, part of the whole parenting deal.
F
The first time you do that, fluids to yourself. All right.
A
First time you do that as a parent, Katie, you'll get to experience. First time you do that as a parent, you think, I wonder how many times. I'm going to answer is about 700.
I
My dad still talks about a time that I puked on him when I was three, so.
A
Right. That's funny. All parents have the somewhat charming story of it happening somewhere. That happened at the airport with Sam one time. They're at the Denver airport. Oh, my God.
F
Really? Okay, that's great. That's enough for me. You know, are you one of those.
A
People that talk of or seeing someone else makes you ill? I'm not. For whatever reason, I could. I could have people around me all over and it would have no effect on me.
F
You know, weirdly enough, just as you were walking in, I was taking a big slug of ice water, which occasionally makes my stomach feel a little, you know, just upset for two minutes, but yeah. Okay, so anyway, can we move on to death and horror? What am I supposed to. Funny, I. I came in today thinking the world is just so ugly, I don't even want to talk about it. But you've. You've changed my mind. Please, let's change the subject.
A
What are you supposed to do? Eat cabbage or something? Something might calm you down. I don't know. Bananas.
F
You know the classics. Saltine crackers.
A
Yes, that's what I needed.
F
Food.
A
I should have grabbed the salting. That's what I had my son. It's funny, I'm better at giving advice for my kids than me. I had my son sitting on the couch eating saltines yesterday. He was struggling with his deal. Here's. Here's the. Here's my favorite thing you need to know today that I just found out. Okay, because you're going to hear this a lot today about the shutdown has finally reached the average American in that TSA or air traffic controllers are not going to be showing up to work because they're not getting paid. Right. They don't miss their first paycheck till next week if they're staying home today. That's some sort of political move.
F
Yeah, exactly. All the public employee unions are tied. You know, they're handcuffed to the Democratic Party. And they probably got the message, hey, start making this inconvenient for Americans.
A
But I didn't hear that on any news channel except for Fox. Every other news channel was going with the. Traveling is going to be difficult. Air traffic controllers not going in since they're not getting paid. They haven't missed a dime yet. And it's going to be a full week away. And I'm sure a lot of them aren't paycheck to paycheck, so they not going to work. And how would that help not going to work anyway, unless you're just protesting.
F
You know, so much of the news media exists to further the aims of the Democratic Party or the far left wing of the Democratic Party. And if they accidentally tell You a couple of things that are happening in the world that's kind of just a side effect. That's not why they showed up for work in the morning. I have a number of examples of that today. Yeah, I don't know.
A
That's not what we do. I find the whole story of everything interesting with all the pieces together and then you come up with a judgment and the fact that air traffic controllers, if this goes on for a couple of weeks, you know, could start affecting travel. Wow, that's some pretty good point of leverage and everything like that, blah blah, blah. But also the fact that they haven't.
F
Missed a paycheck yet.
A
That seems like a pretty big piece of the story.
F
And won't, I mean almost certainly won't because you don't. You never hear on the mainstream media that this is a so called clean continuing resolution. It's exactly what they all voted for not long ago. It's just this is a ridiculous made up political stunt.
A
Yeah, well you were talking yesterday about how if the Republicans cave on this, it's what you say, the end of our country or something like that.
F
Something, something like that. Fill in the blank.
A
You said something very dramatic.
F
Well, yeah, it, it is, it is the end of any pretense whatsoever of spending within our means.
A
Mtg. Marjorie Taylor Greene had a big post yesterday about how her kids health care is going to double next year if the Republicans don't go along with the Democrats on this. And Trump responded to that comment. You know he'd take a look at that. He said it's chance they might turn full populist on this. This is one of those deals where your healthcare got cut during COVID and now it's going back to what it was before.
F
Right, but you're calling that doubling, right? Because it was a giant global emergency. I would like to know more about MTG and her kids insurance. So she's on an Obamacare exchange as a United States Congress gal?
A
Maybe, I don't know. That's what she claimed.
F
She got a man. Is he unemployed?
A
She got a man.
F
What are they? I know nothing about her personal life. Which is fine. How the hell are her kids on an Obamacare exchange? Are they on Medicaid or something?
A
What the hell? Weren't you on an elevator with her or something?
F
I was at an airport with her. We bonded.
A
You didn't ask.
F
Everyone knows it.
A
Why didn't you ask her about her personal life? But he got a man.
F
That ring just for show or you got a man?
A
Yeah, that's a decent point. I don't know what their situation is with her, but. But I think there's a chance the Republicans go populist on this whole health care thing. And then, and I don't know where we are.
F
Note to self, trade in all investments on gold bars, comma, Barry in backyard, comma, Barry in backyard.
A
Okay.
F
I don't know. It gets kind of marshy in the backyard. Maybe the side yard. I haven't nailed down which yard yet, but by God, there will be gold bars involved. Hold on. Maybe I'll call Bob Menendez. Can he take calls in prison?
A
I still have a roll of paper towels next to me from the COVID era. And I'm going to take this paper towel and I'm going to dab my sweaty forehead with it. That's what I'm going to do. I'm sweating because I have Barry.
F
Barry clearly.
A
Or something. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, October 7, the anniversary of that horror, which we'll be talking more about later the year 2025. We are Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program.
F
Let's begin officially then, according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go at mark the safari.
A
Taking a frightening turn when an elephant goes on the attack. We now have the video. The group of tourists from the U.S. and U.K. look at this, recording the encounter as the eleph in charges at their canoes in those shallow waters in Botswana, flipping over the boats, the guides and their riders escaping the elephant eventually, eventually backing off.
F
Hey.
A
As the evening news has become. What's the hottest YouTube video?
F
Yes. Yes, it was, it was quite a good elephant attack video as they, you know, you like you're a fan of the genre. Yeah. We're discussing what to use as the opening clip today. And just so many of the stories seemed to involve anger and horror and violence and the rest of it. And thought, well, we've never, never opened with an elephant attack before.
A
Pretty sure we have never opened with an elephant attack. I think you're right.
F
I'm sure our loyal listeners will tell us if we're wrong, if there's been an oversight of some time, some sort.
A
But somebody will say, no, January 3, 1999, you opened with an elephant attack. And we'll say, okay, perhaps a hippo.
F
Assault tomorrow or a rhino molestation on Friday and the most horrifying donkey attack ever caught on tape.
A
Yeah, just an unhappy hippopotamus. Who knows.
F
That's right Fox. Big Fox had an actual show called When Animals Attack.
A
Yep.
F
For, for, for the summer. Right. It was just a few weeks worth or something. Or just one.
A
Yeah. Fast animals, Slow children. It was a good show.
F
Better times, Simpler times.

Sports headline for our Lakers fans in the audience. Fifteen years ago today, LeBron James made his to me embarrassing decision television special announcement about going to Miami and he's going to make another one today. The second decision, LeBron James, nine o' clock west coast time. He is going to make an announcement.
F
Okay.
I
I'll adjust my schedule.
A
I'm taking my talents to South Beach. I think he's gonna retire. I think, I mean that's the speculation. Okay.
F
All right. Well, my life changing. That's the end of an era. Okay, well, it would be. Yeah, well, it would be. Yeah. If, if you care about LeBron and the Lakers.
A
Sure. Exactly.
F
Anyway, who's reporting what for good? Oh man, we broke on time. We got lots of time. We can stretch out and enjoy ourselves. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie.
I
Well, let's start with the Washington Free beacon quote rally rage and resist pro Hamas student groups plan nationwide protest test on October 7th anniversary.
A
Wow. Of all the things to put your energies into.
F
From a purely.
A
You know.
F
From a purely practical, cynical perspective, Hamas accomplished and the various splinter groups and just Palestinian civilians who murdered and raped and tortured and abducted October 7th was successful on a couple of different levels. Oh yeah, granted, it's getting Hamas decimated. I certainly hope it will, but it's.
A
Done them some good.
F
Is that a horror to say? Yes, of course it is. Absolutely it is. All these moron angry little children on our nation's campuses. They wouldn't be out there chanting in favor of the quote unquote Palisade unless Hamas had committed its atrocities.
I
From the Washington.
F
Oh, I'm sorry. You know, as long as I'm ranting coward Macron and spineless Keir Starmer and the Canadians. Shame on you. They wouldn't be recognizing a Palestinian state if not for October 7th. And the inevitable backlash.
I
From the Washington Post. TikTok posts on Israel and Gaza are overwhelmingly pro Palestinian. They did a study pro Palestinian to pro Israel 17 to 1.
A
Yeah, and that's, that's not an accident.
F
We've been teaching the kids the victim oppressor thing, the settler colonial garbage for years and years and they believe it. They've been thoroughly indoctrinated. It's amazing.
I
From NBC, Trump floats invoking the Insurrection act to combat crime in major cities.
A
He likes poking people.
F
That'll do it. CNN stated unequivocal. The anchor today, I happen to be listening briefly. Ironic that on January 6th there was an insurrection and Trump did nothing and now he's trying to use the Insurrection Act.
A
I was flipping by MSNBC last night. I caught the part of Rachel Maddow show which I don't usually watch. I just flipped by and the guy was saying, and just like Hitler did in 1936.
F
Trump is.
A
And then I switched away.
F
Wow.
A
Is this all you talk about? Comparisons between Trump and Hitler? Okay.
I
From Breitbart.com Warzone Chicago sees over 32,000 shooting victims in the last decade alone.
F
Oh yeah, 30 people got shot last weekend while JB Pritzker and half wit Brandon Johnson were announcing that Chicago's fine, we're doing great.
A
They had 30 last weekend shooting.
F
Yeah, that's a fairly light weekend, honestly. Sleep.
I
From Fox News. FBI says Jack Smith tracked private communications and calls of nearly a dozen GOP senators during the J6 probe.
F
Right. Yeah, we need to get into that.
A
Okay. I don't know that story. I want to hear it.
F
Yeah, it ought to be. It's Chuck. What's his. Chuck Grassley, the 175-year-old senator from Nebraska.
A
Is it Iowa?
F
Iowa. Thank you. I knew it was lots of amber waves of grain that this is bigger than Watergate.
A
Okay.
F
But it's getting no pickup on the lefty media.
A
Of course, I missed this story because I was watching Rachel Maddow. Oh, good.
I
From abc, Mark Sanchez now facing felony charge of battery involving serious bodily injury.
A
Yeah, I think if that truck driver hadn't stabbed the Sanchez, he would have been killed. He would have been beaten to death. That's a heck of a story. And the guy, as I predicted yesterday, the truck driver is suing Sanchez.
I
There was a wrinkle to this. Where a bunch of tourists are going to where this happened and taking photos of the drops of blood on the sidewalk.
A
Like football fans or crime fans?
I
Yeah, both football and crime fans. From CNBC, the price of gold reached $4,000 an ounce for the first time ever.
F
Wow.
A
Why didn't I buy gold? I've been on the radio saying buy gold, and I didn't do it.
I
From the New York Post, Whoopi Goldberg suggests Super bowl attendees darken their skin and adopt a Latin accent to dupe ICE officers.
A
Well, I assume that's a joke.
F
I don't think it was.
A
You don't think? I don't. I wouldn't put it past her.
F
Yeah, the way I heard it reported, she was like, let's just flood them with people who look, you know, Hispanic.
A
Well, the joke Michael Che had. Because the, the, the, the, the, the, the story is that with Bad Bunny performing and he's big in the Hispanic community, that there will be a lot of illegals around. And so ICE is going to be there. And Michael, Michael Chase. Joe comes there live.
F
Yeah.
A
For all the farm workers who can afford super bowl tickets, which is a.
F
Pretty decent joke.
I
From study finds. Fraud nation. Americans hit with 100 scam attempts every month. The top in the world.
F
The money is.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I
And finally, from the Babylon be ESPN to no longer cover sports. Will focus exclusively on the wnba.
A
Oh, I saw a different headline. French Jews feel they may have to leave the country. Similar to story we had about England the other day. That's an interesting story.
F
On October 7th, I'd say. Yeah, that is one of the biggest stories on Earth and it's going to be getting more and more attention.
A
Joe's got the bigger than Watergate story for us. I can't wait to hear it.

F
Aid announced last week that it has officially closed all of its locations. Oh, tough break for the thousands of customers who are still in line.
A
I didn't know Rite Aid went out of business. So there's like Walgreens and CVS pushed him out of business, huh? And it happens. You know, it's part of the, it's capitalism. The Rite Aid near me closed and I didn't know it was part of the. Just the national thing. They're just going away, right?
F
Yeah, yeah. I'll post my grief on Netscape Navigator. You know, it's, it's fine.
A
You know, it's interesting is I. I've heard so many news stories where they say Walgreens and CBS have grown. No mention of the Costco Pharmacy, which I keep saying is the best pharmacy I've ever used. I love the Costco Pharmacy.
F
Yeah, yeah. Nostalgia for brands is, is an odd thing, particularly when, I mean, I was not a big Rite Aid customer. But I can't believe that the experience was that much different. No going to any other drugstore.
A
Well, remember I've told the story of I was at. That was always true to me up until Costco. So I was at CVS and I had a drug and I was having trouble Getting it. It was really expensive. And the, and the woman said, can I talk to you for a second over there? And I was like, okay, sure. The pharmacist walks around. We go over by the water fountain. She said, fire you. I'd go to Costco. This is going to be like $4 at Costco. I said, okay. And then I went. And that's, that's been my pharmacy, since it's faster, it's cheaper, but I'm not doing an ad for them. It's just been my experience.
F
Interesting. So I came across a tweet from the fabulous Cheryl Atkinson yesterday. She, she was reacting to a tweet by Chuck Grassley, who says, this document shows the FBI. The Biden FBI spied on eight of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into election conspiracy. Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump. And he says Biden FBI weaponization worse than Watergate. And it's interesting because Cheryl says the spying won't stop since nobody was ever held accountable, dating back to the spying on me and my family and more. And I was trying to dig up the details of that in the last couple of minutes because I don't remember the specifics of who in the FBI was surveilling Cheryl Atkinson. Atkinson. But anyway, here's what they're talking about. Several Republican senators revealed yesterday that former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the January 6 riot had analyzed the phone records of nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers. This came to light after a document from the investigation, dubbed codenamed Arctic Frost, was discovered by Cash Patel. The FBI obtained cellular analysis Survey team records for nine Republican members of Congress in 2023, including Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, and others. Josh Hawley, who comments later. The records allowed investigators to see metadata such as the date, time, and length of phone calls, but not the contents of the conversations. It's interesting. This is like an AI summary. What about the names? Surely the phone numbers and who they were calling was included. Maybe not the contents of conversations. That's an interesting omission. The phone records were obtained through a grand jury subpoena, a lawful process for federal investigations, they point out. But Republicans are condemning the action as a politically motivated abuse of power and weaponization of the FBI. Josh Hawley's calling for a full investigation.
A
You know, one, one thing I took from Tucker Carlson's documentary. Yes, I'm going to quote Tucker Carlson's 911 documentary.
F
Is he Tucker Carlson?
A
He was talking about, and we all know this is True. All the different ways the government can spy on so many people if they want to. And there are a variety of rules of where you can only get, you know, you can get the. The number they called, the number they called from, but you can't get this. But there's another agency that can get that and you get, you can get that information from that agency or you foreign country do it and then they give us the information and then we give that foreign country our information because they're outlaw. I mean, there's all kinds of ways around that. If somebody wants to spy on you.
F
Yeah, that's absolutely true. So eight, is it? Eight senators. The FBI just got all the records. All right, who are they calling? Who are they talking to? How long are they talking to them? What's going on here? Investigating January 6th. I guess that does not seem kosher. Well, more will come of this. Cash Patel is enthused. And Josh Hawley's howling.
A
Well, your top cop in America, Pam Bondi, is going in front of a committee to be interrogated today. Now, is that on television or is it going to be a real hearing? I'm, I'm of the belief that no hearings should be televised at this point. I think there's nothing to ever be gained from a televised hearing because it just becomes a TV show. But for our purposes as an entertainment product, if it's on television, we can probably get quite a bit out of it because it's going to be happening while we're on the air today.
F
Yeah, yeah.
A
Because she's feisty. I'm looking forward to hearing. And they're going to be going after.
F
Well, the Democrats are.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
F
And then the Republicans will say, national hero. Pam Bondi joins us. Madam Attorney General, the American people can only. Can't even thank you enough for your service. And then the next guy gets up. You are a Hitlerite fascist attacking the very fiber of the American experiment. How do you explain yourself? It's a yes, no question. No, no. It wasn't on the other side of the aisle.
A
You're Mussolini with blonde hair.
F
It's a yes, no question.
A
And then the next person is. We have never had a woman on Mount Rushmore. I would like to hereby pass a resolution that Pam Bondi should be on.
F
Madam Attorney General, would you recite the Pledge of Allegiance with me today? Right, I can remember. You're a Hitler.
A
That's a yes, no question.
F
That's no way to run a country. And very close to true. Yeah, that's funny.
A
Yeah.
F
Hey, so that Supreme Court case I was so hot to trot about yesterday is happening today, that incredibly important freedom of speech case, a part of the transgender insanity of 2020 through 2024 or whatever you want to, you know, you put on your own time limits to when you think the transgender lunacy was at its height. There are 20 states that say you cannot see. To a confused adolescent girl, hey, you know what? You're a young woman. Let's talk about the other things that are bothering you instead of, I don't know, cutting off your healthy breasts or pumping you full of hor. That is illegal to say as a.
A
Counselor in 20 states.
F
Obscene. There's similar bans in 20 states to the Colorado ban, which is before the court.
A
I thought California was an outlier in that. Oh, wow.
F
Now there. There are a lot of things that are like 3020 in favor of sanity, including boys and girls, sports. And, you know, there. There are a couple of other of those issues, you know, access to locker rooms and that sort of thing. It's mostly sanity. But the problem is the. The blue states, which are, you know, generally Speaking, you know, maybe 55, 45 Democrats, the Republicans, but their state house and their governor is. Is reliably Democrat. They went so far left. You have 40% of American states passing these bizarre, radical laws while it's only about 15% of the people. But anyway, we're undoing them as fast as we can, thank God. But more on that case and some similar topics to come, so. Oh, including the guy who is going to assassinate poor Brett Kavanaugh decides he's a girl. All the mainstream media falls into line and the judge reduces the sentence and is happy that the family has finally realized that he's really a girl. And this is something we should all celebrate. It is crazy.
A
Well, that happened with. What is the name of the. Was a. Was a man now a woman?
F
No, that's. That it's always a man. Goes.
A
Went by a man's name, now goes by a woman's name. Did all the leaking to Wikipedia back in the day.
F
And then Bradley Manning.
A
Yeah, Bradley Manning, who is Chelsea Manning. And Obama, you know, commuted her sentence, I think mostly because. Oh, okay. Because you're. Now you're a girl. Okay, well, then you shouldn't be in prison or something. Or that excuses your behavior. I don't even know what the thinking is behind that, but.
F
Or Obama was part of the eternal omnic cause. You just have to back each other.
A
So this is Nobel Prize week. We didn't mention the prize in medicine yesterday. We'll have to mention that later because it was an interesting one. Today the Nobel Prize in Physics was ordered. I was up for that. I got this thing I do with a slinky on the stairs that I thought was really interesting, but once again I got overlooked for a couple of dudes with their work in quantum mechanics, which I want to try to talk to you about later. This is very difficult. I lose the thread.
F
Talk to your dog. You're wasting your time with me.
A
I lose the thread quite quickly on quantum mechanics, but I find it fascinating.
F
Blind leaning them behind Speaking of needing medical care, I was so happy when pumpkin carving went safe and they had tools that were not knives because I can't be trusted with with knives.

Didn't dig it as a Chiefs fan, but man, that was one of the best plays I've ever seen by Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars. We'll play the highlight of that later.
F
Trevor Lawrence Peter Townsend look alike.
A
He is something. 662 20. That's one of those all men should do this with NFL players. You see a guy, he's built like a brick s house. He's taller than you but weighs less than you. That happens a lot.

A
Yeah, I'm starting to understand your mood. You got. There's just too much and I mean some of it is good but it's just too much roiling going on. You know, antifa national guard shutdown, peace deals, just. There's too much roiling. I need, I need less of that somehow.
F
Yeah, yeah, I agree. It just seems like every topic, every geographic location, you know, every media outlet is all about anger and jacking up the, the passion which I get. I mean you got to get cut through sometimes and somehow rather. And sometimes we jack up the passion because things are important but I don't know, it's just, it's a little exhausting. Anyway, here's your freedom loving quote of the day. It's famous one, Mahatma Gandhi. Continuing our series on change.
A
Little bald Indian guy.
F
Yeah, yeah. British trained lawyer, etc. Peaceful resistance.
A
Yeah.
F
Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
A
That's pretty good.
F
Part of the reason I like that quote. Well, it's just a great quote and also because so much of young passionate America thinks that means bully people online or yell a lot in break university campuses.
A
I think they took down the Gandhi statue in the park where I live and I don't remember why. In what way was he a foul sexual peccadillos? No, no, no, no. I know it was something political.
F
I thought it was a hashtag MeToo thing.
A
I don't remember.
F
I have to look that up. Where was I? Oh, anyway, so the youngsters and the Obama types who hear that quote, they think that means yell and scream and compare people to Hitler and call them fascists and wreck your campus and yell at Jews and the rest of it. No, it means embody the principles you think are important. If you think there should be more goodness, be good. If you think there should be more, I don't know, charity. Give to charity, not yell at other people to do it. Mailbag, drop us a note, would you? Mailbag@armstrong.com. yes, chat.
A
It's all about some sort of racism and about South Africa and colonialism that he supported or something. I remember that was something like that.
F
Oh, boy. Oh, let's see. Here's another. J in San Jose writes the reason San Francisco has begun to turn itself around and Portland hasn't. It's because San Franciscans are more worldly, wealthy and serious, even if they are liberal elite. Wealthy folks do not like inconveniences or loss of wealth, and they are closely listened to by those in political power. Portlanders include the remnants of the 60s and 70s Hippie commune culture and continue to elect their kooky friends. All of Oregon has three billionaires. Just the city of San Francisco has 58.
A
Didn't know that.
F
The reason Portland officials seem to operate with impunity is there's no check and balance by the electorate or the wealthy. In San Francisco is the wealthy who finally put their foot down.
A
I don't know if I buy that. I just think it's in a different spot on the timeline. I remember the first time I went to Portland 30 years ago. I was like, wow, this is like San Francisco without the bums. It hadn't happened there yet. So, like, they're just behind the curve. And, and, and even those people will.
F
Get fed up with it.
A
Just like the people of San Francisco finally got fed up with it.
F
Yes, but will they have the heft, which was Jay's point, to get things done? Because it takes it. Sometimes it takes more than a majority or more than like an angry 45% if they're still outnumbered by the hippie dippies. And there are no true pullers of strings behind the scenes insisting that, hey, the 45% is right. And we've got to come correct. It might not happen.
A
The hippie dippies.
F
I guess we'll all figure it out together. Tom in SoCal writes, Guys, as the world continues to spiral towards who knows where, maybe we can learn something from our friends in Finland. They have a word at which I am going to slaughter sauna cal sarichanet. Which translates. Translates to getting drunk alone at home in your underwear with no intention of going out.
A
They have a word for that.
F
Yeah, I've heard that before. I have not verified it's, you know.
A
My Saturday nights and much of my 20s and 30s, you know, I prefer.
F
To wear comfortable, say, athleisure clothing to have to be in my underwear.
A
That depends on how hot it is outside.
F
Well, sure, yeah. Isn't that what the Dems are essentially fighting for by shutting down the government to reestablish some of the Medicaid benefits? I think getting drunk alone at home in your underwear, no intention of going out.
A
I think all languages should have a word for that. Eskimos should have like 50 different words for it, depending on the snowflakes.
F
Okay, let's see. This is. Oh, Chuck, do we have time for this? Probably not. Maybe another time. About my comments about aging rock bands, see. Ah, Kathy in Spain writes, guys, listen to your Monday show. Something caught my attention. It feels like the body positivity cause and the transgender cause. We're. We played some quotes from this 600 pound, troubled young woman who's a body positivity activist who is lecturing everybody about how she's disowned her entire family because they're not pro Palestinian enough. And it's like, wait a minute, you're an obese body, so why are you talking? It's because it's the omnicause. Anyway, Kathy points out, feels like the body positivity cause and the transgender cause should be diametrically opposed, not lumped together. One movement says you should love your body no matter what it looks like and not make efforts or feel pressured to change it. The other movement says if you're unhappy with your body, you should change it until you're happy with it and get carved up. Be fed powerful chemicals.
A
That is an excellent and obvious point, but not obvious enough for me to have ever thought of it. Yeah, that's amazing that that's the same crowd.
F
Yeah, that's such a good point. Just thought I'd share with that with the class. Keep up the great work, Kathy and Spain. Thanks, Kathy.
A
No, no, no. Taking a drug to lose weight that'd be giving in to the haters or something. You can't do that.
F
Having your healthy breasts carved off because you don't feel like a straight woman. Maybe, but that's even better. These people are insane. It's just whatever the I am against the norms stance is. If you're part of the Omni cause, you must embrace it, that's what. And it ends up with the lunacy of queers for Palestine.
A
That's what queer means. I'm against the norms.
F
Exactly. Yeah. Let's see. That's really funny, but we have no time. Candace Owens is insane.
A
I want you to do that email about aging rock stars. I think that's an interesting topic because that's a. That's a big industry in the country right now.
F
I will hang on to it.

This is an iHeart podcast.
Episode: So Much Vomiting
Date: October 7, 2025
Hosts: Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty
Network: iHeartPodcasts
In this engaging and fast-paced episode, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty wade through a mix of domestic drama (family illness), major political stories, cultural oddities, and media criticism—delivering signature sarcastic banter and irreverence along the way. Overarching themes include media bias, governmental dysfunction, and the overwhelming sense of “too much roiling” in the news cycle, offset by personal anecdotes and humorous audience mail.
Parenthood Horror:
“So much vomiting going on in my house.” – Jack, cold open (04:14)
Media Criticism:
“So much of the news media exists to further the aims of the Democratic Party or the far left wing... if they accidentally tell you a couple of things that are happening in the world that’s just a side effect.” – Joe (07:36)
On Lawmakers and Populism:
“Note to self: trade in all investments on gold bars… bury in backyard.” – Joe (10:19)
Wilderness Humor:
“Pretty sure we have never opened with an elephant attack.” – Jack (12:00)
On Surveillance:
“The spying won’t stop since nobody was ever held accountable, dating back to the spying on me and my family and more.” – Cheryl Atkinson via Joe (29:30)
Social Contradictions:
“It feels like the body positivity cause and the transgender cause should be diametrically opposed, not lumped together.” – Listener email from Kathy in Spain (49:40)
The hosts deliver their commentary with trademark sardonic humor, skepticism, and a lively back-and-forth style. Their tone alternates between weary cynicism (“too much roiling,” “media just an arm of the party”) and playful absurdity (animal attack bit, pharmacy anecdotes). They strike a balance between serious concern (government overreach, free speech) and comic relief (parenting woes, getting drunk in your underwear).
This episode offers a rich blend of current events, cultural quirks, and keen listener observations, all filtered through Armstrong & Getty’s irreverent and insightful style. Listeners get a dose of pointed media criticism, political analysis, and social commentary, interspersed with relatable personal moments and laugh-out-loud banter. Whether you’re interested in the latest in politics, feeling overwhelmed by the news cycle, or just in need of a laugh about parenting disasters, “So Much Vomiting” covers it all.
