Sorry coach, I can't play in the Super Bowl. It'd be too expensive. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. Sports Conomics coming up. It's actually way too expensive to play in the super bowl for the players if you know what I'm not. I've already said too much. Okay, stop me before I give it away. Well, we have no idea what you're talking about, but we'll try to join in some days. I'm the same. We're cleaning out sound fridge. Okay. With a special sports economics emphasis. Okay, let's begin with Courtney F Beauty seems like a convenient name for a beauty influencer. Who got this clip? Who's responsible for this? I did. And anything we should know about is sunscreen made by Pepsi that you can eat. Oh, if you're hungry for sunscreen. How handy. Or if the you got the sun in your belly. What the hell does that even mean? The age old problem. Exactly. This sunscreen's keeping me from getting skin cancer, but I just can't eat it. I wish there was a solution. All right, play this stupid crap. I want to talk about this brand new. This is from vacation. They did a collab with Pepsi and they released a wild cherry flavor tinted lip gel sunscreen with SPF of 30. This is going to be one of those things that's either really good or really bad. Oh my God, it tastes just like Cherry Pepsi. If you like Cherry Pepsi at all, grab this. Thought it was just going to be cherry, but it has that cola after note to it. This is going in my purse. Oh, first of all, shut up. Second of all afternoon. It's not. It's not sunscreen that you put on your skin. It's a lip balm. Right. Clearly when she said lip gel. Oh, okay. I'm getting burnt to a crisp and I'm starving. But I only have room in my pocket for one tube. My idea. Better. I am. It's just so annoying to me. A cola aftertaste, that is. I'm not a fan of anything cherry flavored, first of all. But that just seems. I love Cherry Coke. You don't like a cherry Coke? Nope. I don't like any artificial cherry flavor. It Robitussin ruined me. One of my kids is like that too. Does not like cherry flavored stuff. Yeah, I gotta admit, I used to enjoy a Cherry Coke or Pepsi. Now. Now and again. But yeah, I get it. You're too sophisticated for that now. Well, yeah, exactly. I'm better. He's not a peasant, Jack. Oh, right, right. I've moved up to I might have a cherry Coke today. Now that you mentioned. I haven't had a pop in like 10 years, but I might have one today. I'll have a Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavored Cabernet Sauvignon. Place here is another effing influencer. This fellow. Does this need any setup? He had an anti abortion shirt on and he goes into a coffee shop in Des Moines and some chick goes wild on him. Yeah, he. So he was actually going outside to make a video about the coffee shop and this chick and she is Wearing big. She is your token liberal. Big rainbow sunglasses, the whole nine. Oh, boy. We don't care. Get the. Out of my. So you just said a bunch of stuff, and then you don't want to hear anything about go kill yourself, you son of a. Yeah, that's very kind. Get out of here. You turn to Christ, you can still turn to Christ. Jesus Christ. So, yeah, anyways, the coffee here was decent, but I don't know about the clientele. Wow. That is ripped straight from something we did toward the end of the radio show. Political disagreement is increasingly treated as a serious moral offense rather than a simple difference of opinion. And when you see the world that way, punishing someone for holding different views becomes a moral good. How could you get that mad about that? Her face turned red in that video, by the way. She was screeching, right? Yeah, but surely she's aware that a significant share of the population differs. But it's not a difference of opinion. It's a moral offense. It's like watching somebody beating a child, watching somebody have a different opinion than you. How twisted is that? You know, I remember my first coming across this, Gladys. It must have been about, when did the Iraq war start? 2003. Yeah, somewhere in there. March of 03, wasn't it? Anyway, I was going to a public radio show, me and a couple other guys, to play some music on their show. And this was back when Clear Channel was a radio company and they somehow got associated with George Bush. I don't even remember why or how. Yeah, yeah. Anywho, I show up at this public radio station in this tiny town to play some music with some guys, and somebody says to one of the other guys, he works for a Clear Channel station. And the guy's eyes got big, and he took a couple of steps back and it. And I was like, what? What's that got to do with me? You're gonna spout fangs or grow horns? And it was so weird. Now, that's common. Very, very common. You. You know, whether you support Trump or you live in this state or whatever the hell it is, was the first time I'd ever come across. It was like, why are you, like, recoiling in fear? Yeah, yeah. Because of the company I work for. It's strange. Why do you care? Yeah, exactly. Well, for the reasons we've been talking about. They view a difference of opinion as a moral offense. That was the first time I'd ever come across that. It was. And at the time, it struck me as weird, and it still does. Yeah. Yeah. It's a quaint town. I know the town you're talking about. Yeah, as it should. Hippie dippy. We're gonna run nine again just because I want to. It's the planet of the beavers, as I predicted. Look, this beaver is stealing a two by. Get out of there. This beaver. So the guy had the 2x4 kind of leaning on the bed of his truck, and this beaver just kind of came up and got on its hind legs and put its little hands on the 2x4 and put it in his mouth and took off. Switch. Is better to yell at a beaver. Get out of there or bring that back. Bring that back. It was cute as hell. And he couldn't catch it either. I didn't know those little guys were fast. You know, we all do that, though, with pets and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yell at the dog. Oh, yeah. To my wife, sweetheart. He doesn't actually speak English. Bring that scarf back here. Honey. That's not the amount of. The amount of times that I've looked at Frank and gone, what are you doing? Yes, because he's going to answer me and say, well, in fact, I am, but a dog does learn, what, 25 words or something like that? I don't think a beaver learns any. Not that I'm aware of. Although some however beavers communicate, slapping their tail. Word got around down at the dam that, hey, you don't be chewing on trees in the forest like a moron. They got a big store over there. It's got lots and lots of wood, and people carry it out for you. Anyway, so this is what I teased. This is Boomer Siason. Are we sure that's Boomer? I thought it was Dan Patrick. Maybe it is Boomer, courtesy of wfan, which is a New York legendary sports radio station. But he's talking about the super bowl and taxes and in California. Roll the first one, Michael. For winning the super bowl, the winning team, each player gets $178,000. In other words, the super bowl isn't a part of their salary. And because the game was played in California and California has a jock tax and they look at duty days. So each team spends seven days in the state of California. So those are seven duty days. And they pierce your regular salary at 3.5%. So he has to pay. When you. When you take into account he got the 178,000 plus his overall salary, he has to pay the state of California for spending seven days there, $249,000. That's just so stupid. I didn't understand all that, but I'm sure it's true. The end number. Yeah, yeah, I. Because Brian the umpire is a good friend and he's explained exactly how this works. Yeah, they count how many days you work in California and then look at your, your total salary and everything and, and, and tax you at California rates for the days you're in the state. How does any of the big, like the big time contracts, God, they must spend a ton of money. When you come to California to play a game like you play for, well, the Kansas City Chiefs and you got to play the Rams, you must think, oh crap, Coach, we're going in on Thursday for a Sunday game. I'm going to be there three days. I can't afford that. There's actually just a little more. Let's listen to ends up costing him $71,000 to go play in California. Now if I'm the NFL PA now you got to remember it's probably even more than that because since he's in Seattle, he's playing, he's playing against San Francisco 49ers, that's another day he's there. And he's playing against the LA Rams. That's another day he's there. So he's probably had like nine or 10 duty days or maybe even more than that in the state of California. So if I'm the NFL pa, I'm like, hey, we're not playing any more Super Bowls in, you know, in California. We're just not doing it. By PA meant Players Association. Well, yeah, because they're one of their in town for a week and a half or two weeks or whatever it is for the Super Bowl. But even those other games you go, they go on like Friday for a Sunday game or sometimes Thursday depending on how early it is. But yeah, that's crazy. I didn't know that. It also points out that for the stars of the game, getting $178,000 to play in or win the super bowl after taxes, even without the California thing is just paltry. Sure. They want to win because they, they want to win their competitors. I mean for like a guy who's going to have a one year career and the special teams, he's very happy about it. But yeah. How about Patrick Mahomes? Not so much. No, no. Hold them Super Bowls in Florida. That's really interesting. No idea of that. That's a good, that's a good story. Yeah. Well, I guess that's it. Wonder if the Beaver knows that he goes to steal a 2x4 in California. Hey Beaver, don't you know the tax rates in California? When life feels loud, your home can feel lighter.

Date: February 11, 2026
Platform: iHeartPodcasts
This episode of Armstrong & Getty's "One More Thing" dives into the quirky realities of sports economics—specifically, the surprising expense of playing in the Super Bowl due to state taxes. The hosts also riff hilariously on influencer culture and social media trends, discuss the corrosive nature of contemporary political polarization, and close with a lighthearted diversion about beavers stealing lumber.

On Political Outrage:
On Super Bowl Taxes:
On Animal Antics:
Listeners will come away entertained while pondering just how expensive it can be for even the luckiest of athletes—maybe even expensive enough to sit out the biggest game of all.
