Listen to After Dark from history. Hit wherever you get your podcasts. Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty Enough. He Armstrong and Getty hey, we're Armstrong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast one More thing. Find it wherever you find all your podcasts. Hold my calls. I gotta work in a couple of sets of squats. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. I can't. I can't imagine where this is going. So even the radio ranch full of slackers and fatties and stoned idiots has a gym. An office gym. That's right. I've never. I've been in it. I've never used it. You know, I was seriously about to use it when Covid hit. And then, of course, they had to lock it up so nobody would exercise or something. Oh, the freaking idiocy. Anyway, this from the Journal of Wall Street. Forget the office, Jim. Welcome to the gym office. Working out or just working? More gyms are encouraging remote working members to stay all day and do both. It's like a Starbucks with a bunch of weight equipment and ellipticals and then treadmills and stuff. So you stay all day, you work a little bit, then you do a couple of sets of squats and you come back, you make a call, then you throw the iron, or you bench press 350 pounds 10 times. Like, I like to relax in the afternoon. I stand on that thing with the band around you that shakes you. That's what I do. Beautiful. I'm sure you guys doing the show from a gym, I wouldn't work for this profession. Have you ever worked anywhere? This was very popular around here for a while. Have you ever worked anywhere, Katie, where people sat on the ball to just strengthen their core? I'm surprised you guys didn't see me doing that in the San Francisco building. May have. I just didn't want to ogle. Do you feel like it works? Yeah. And it keeps you moving? Yeah. It seems like a good idea. And all the rage on the Internet right now are these treadmills that go under your desk. No. Yeah. Well, wait a second. They go under your desk so you're sitting and you move your feet? Yeah. Yeah. Really? Wait. Yeah, you're standing. You can do both if you have one of the standing desks. Like, you can walk on it, and then they have a feature where you put it under the desk and you just keep your legs moving at a center. See, that seems like real, really uncomfortable and weird to me. I understand the walking on a treadmill while I work, but the sitting with my legs moving and, like, passively having your legs pushed along by the treadmill. What good would that do? Keep your knees limber? I don't know. The idea is you're supposed to move with the treadmill. Not just drag your legs, but just moving anything. I suppose better is better than sitting still. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Breaking news. Breaking news. I just got a text from Donald Trump Jr. Oh, it's a long text. Oh, it includes a picture of his bearded countenance. Look at that. Hi, Joseph. Don Jr here. As a loyal supporter of my father, I'm reaching out on the behalf of Senate Republicans because they desperately need your help. After reviewing your donor profile, I believe you are the right person for this job. Your donor profile is. You have money. Oh, and I'm certainly a crazed right winger. So he's trying to raise money, allegedly for the Senate Republic Republicans. That's not super on brand for the Trump family. I don't get these fundraising emails at a lot of this might be completely a scam. Oh, right, right, right, right. You have to watch out for that. Yeah. Hey, back to the working out at work thing. Oh, yes, yes. So, Katie, you've actually seen people with the treadmills under the desk? Not the treadmills. I saw a woman who had a bike like the pedals under her desk. She used to have that also in San Francisco. I could see doing that. That. See that? Oh, I feel like that's a habit got into. You could just. You could work regularly and it'd be great for you. I think that's a terrific idea. I gotta try the ball maybe at home because the desks are too high in the studio, but I haven't talked about this on the air at all. But just sitting on the exercise ball thing. But I am suffering terribly from sciatica at this point. It's, like crazy painful. I know what it is and I know it can be dealt with. So I observed many years ago just to myself that fear is the worst component of pain. Now, pain itself is bad, but like, as a kid, things that hurt also terrified you because you know you're supposed to be terrified, so you avoid them. So you survive. But as an adult, like getting a shot, getting dental work done, you know, there are a hundred things that are. They hurt. None of it hurts as much as stubbing your toe really hard. Right, that. Yeah, that's true. That's. That's brutal. But anyway, and it happens all the time, and you don't fall apart over it when you stub your toe or hit your head getting on the cabinet or what. All that stuff hurts more than getting a shot. It's hard. Time to psych yourself out with those. Yeah, but it is the fear. It's the fear part that makes it so bad. You know you're going to be okay in 30 seconds to two minutes. Right. So you don't freak out in the same way. And it's the same with me. I know what sciatica is. I know how to treat it. I know eventually it'll be fine. But it's brutally painful. But. So I'm trying to work on my core. Is that a disease or a back thing? I mean, I know it's a back thing, but is it. It's pressure on the sciatic nerve. General, you know, a number of things can cause it. Most commonly it's that, like, you're getting older and you aren't flexible enough and your muscles are so tight they're in effect, pulling your spine in a way that's bad. That puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. It can also be like a serious slipped disc or a tumor or something like that. But with the vast majority of people, you just need to work on fitness and flexibility. So that's what I'm doing. I think sitting on the ball might help. I bought a motorcycle from a guy who got sciatica and he couldn't ride it anymore. So I really. I really bent him over. I mean, because he had no choice. He had to sell it because he was in so much pain. Yeah, that's just smart business. Geez. I didn't literally bend him over because that have been too crazy. Yes. Yeah, because he's got. Anyway, back to the gym. So the idea is you go and you hang out all day long and you do work as necessary, but during your breaks, you pump iron or get on the treadmill or whatever. Like the people who hang out in a Starbucks all damn day long. Remember we had the two guys in the newsroom, Michael, throw around the medicine ball, medicine ball, and they brought donuts every day. Do you remember that? Yeah. Oh, that's just a mocking. All the rest of us, that was, that was. That was a level beyond. Katie. This was before your time. So these guys, they were super workout fiends and like, really buff and everything like that. Nice guys. But they, they would have a medicine ball and while they were working in the, like, news pit, they'd throw the nest medicine ball back and forth while they're talking, kind of like what Joe was talking about. But they also would buy donuts and they wouldn't eat any of them themselves just to, like, prey upon the weakness of the rest of us who weren't as fit as them. Oh, I don't like that at all. That's. That's satanic. Yeah. I mean, l like Satan being the great tempter. You know the gym Planet Fitness. Yeah, sure. So this was years ago. I'm hoping they don't still do this, but I dropped my membership there because I went in and I found out that on Friday nights they have pizza. Yes. And then there was a bowl of Tootsie Rolls on the way out by the, by the register. And I'm going, what are we doing? I don't. You know what this is? This is exactly like politicians who want to have the problem, not solve the problem. Because if you're super fit and healthy and all, you might think, you know, I don't need to go belong to a gym. I'll just stay in reasonable shape. No, they got to keep you fat. I'm into fitness. Fitness pizza into my mouth. Yum. So here's one gal who does this. By going into this space and not coming back home, I'm going through these movements of the day more intentionally. There's less distraction and I'm able to set up work more efficiently. That's what I'm not doing, going through my movements intentionally. I knew it. I didn't want to say anything, but. Right. Yes. Gyms were once wary of letting the remote work masses zoom from their lobbies and locker rooms. Now they see an opportunity in offering extra desks, offices, and outlets. Some are creating co working spaces to separate the extension court wielders from the spandex crowd. All right, you don't have to be that clever in writing this article. Other gyms are charging extra and offering entire floors for clients to stay and work all day. Well, a lot of what this is pointing out, though, is the fact that we all could exercise a lot more than we want. The excuse that I make, I'll just focus on myself of being too busy or whatever. It's just. It's just a lie. I mean, there's all kinds of things I could, I could. I could be doing curls while I'm watching the news or on the treadmill more often like you do or whatever. And I just don't. I mean, there's lots of stuff we could all do. We just don't. You know why? Because I don't want to. Because it's easier not to. That's why. That's fair. Well, that's. That's remarkable honesty. Yeah, My. My only tip is start with a little. Yeah, yeah, that's. That is the key. Doing something is so much better than doing nothing. Oh, yeah, 100%. Like, every level of doing something makes you healthier, live longer and happier. And so if all you can muster up is kind of meh. Yeah, do math. I did this to myself recently, and I'm. I've been preaching this for years, but I did this to myself recently where I came out with this workout thing because I got a bench and dumbbells and all the sort of stuff, and there's like three exercises I was doing every day. Well, it took like a half an hour, and so I did that routinely for like nine months or something like that. But then the half an hour every time and the kids got out of school and as busy as I went. Well, how about instead of doing the whole half hour, you just do one of those things for 10 minutes? I could do that. Yeah. It's the. If you got to change clothes, drive to the gym, work out for an hour and a half, take a shower, change clothes, drive back, and you got like this two hour commitment. No, you can't fit that into your life. Right, right. Well, I'm a big fan and partly it's the nature of my job, so maybe easier for me than others, but I never exercise that. I'm not taking in news or information or podcasts or something like that. I can't. I just, I don't have the. I know plenty of meatheads worked out at gyms all the time. Maybe they're healthier than me mentally. They probably are, but could just. Just lift weights and do all that sort of stuff. Just staring at the ceiling all day long. I can't do that. No. It makes me insane. Yeah. Now I do like to strip shirtless and look at my shaved, oiled body. Take a lot of posing in the mirror. A lot of these. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a good one. A lot of those. Oh, look at that one. Yeah. Don't ever do that again. This is fantast. It took a turn, folks. You know, I resent those two guys that we used to work with. They'd get themselves strong and they'd fatten the rest of us up. Suck. Armstrong and Getty. It's the Armstrong and Getty show, featuring our podcast, One More Thing.

And one actually came down and met with a bunch of Earth leaders about the whole human gender situation. So this alien comes to planet Earth, particularly the United States, and finds out that we have a thing about genders and more than one gender that they hadn't encountered on their planet. That's the setup to this Babylon B comedy bit. So you're going to hear kind of a weird voice. That's the alien sitting at the head of a boardroom table. I don't know how this occurs, but they're like kind of the take me to your leader thing. He's come into the, you know, the halls of power and said, all right, I'm in charge now. And he's talking to a whole bunch of business people or Americans or something like that. Government officials. Government officials. Okay, well, here's how it goes. General Florid, thank you for agreeing to meet with us today. Ah, yes, you are most welcome. Giving you a chance to beg and plead for mercy before we destroy your planet is my favorite part of the job. No, please don't destroy us. We don't deserve this. The looks on their faces. So, who? Perhaps we should start out by introducing ourselves. I'm Chief of Space Operations, General Foreman. He him, Under Secretary of State Angus Miller. He him, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Amanda Williams. She her. And what exactly is a Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer? It's my job to be a black woman. Well, good job, then. And what is this he, him, she, her, of which you are all speaking? Those are our gender pronouns. So you know which gender we identify as. I appreciate that, but I am pretty good at telling the difference between the two genders. Man, man, woman. Hmm, nailed ahead. That was a lucky guess. But there are way more than just two genders. Fascinating. We've been probing humans for years, and we have only discovered the two. How many genders are there? 2, 72. It's hard to know, really. It's changing all the time. So your species is evolving that rapidly? Remarkable. Perhaps while you are sitting here, you will grow additional limbs or develop the ability to breathe underwater. Um, no, that's not what we meant. It's too bad. I breathe underwater. It's a lot of fun. If you threw 20 pennies into a pool, I could dive down and pick them all up without ever once resurfacing. Po. What, no applause? So what are these genders and how do they function? Function? I don't understand why. Yes, on my planet, the female gender is the giver of life, raising and nurturing our young, preserving our civilization for eons to come, While the males mostly just mow our space lawns and make multiple trips to Space Home Depot. What you are talking about is sex. Gender is something different. Exactly. People can Identify with genders different than their natal sex or with none at all. But why? It's just the way we feel. No, it was the way we're born. Well, of course, a lot of times they don't realize how they were born until someone tells them. Someone like a teacher, social media influencer. And what exactly are these various genders? You have me very curious. Well, there's non binary, which is someone who identifies as both gender. Doesn't saying identifies both genders imply that there are only two genders? No, no, it's. Shut up. Actually, it's genderqueer. That is the term that refers to people who identify as both genders. You know, like my nephew. I thought that was gender fluid, like my niece. No, no, that shifts around. No, Bigender shifts around. Like my stepson. Well, it can. Well, oh, unless you're Native American, in which case it's two spiritual. Like my cousin who got into Harvard because they's 1 16th Native American. Oh, I understand on this planet there are people who are men and people who are women and people who are mentally ill. I can understand that. It's confusing. It can be difficult to keep track of all the different genders. There's so many of them. There's gender vague. There's gray gender, demigender, oddie, gender omni, gender polygender, and about ten different kinds of. Of trans. And those are just the ones that my nephew has identified as in the last month when I was also bigender. Which is two genders, those genders being male and female, or a combination of all genders, including agender, which is no gender at all. So actually simultaneously be no gender at all plus a gender. It's pretty cool, huh? The planet has no sign of intelligent life. Official recommendation. Destroy. No, please don't destroy us. We don't deserve this. We have that look. My favorite part of that whole thing is when they're laying out all this stuff and he says, why? The question no one can answer. Oh, I can answer it. It's so young adolescents feel special and get praised by their mentors. I'm not just a regular dude anymore. I'm. I don't know, gender fluid. Oh, Joe, that's so wonderful. We'll support you. You're so brave. Come on. Why? Please do not use gendered language to. To address everyone. Just get the hell out of here. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

I guess this is a problem in a number of different states, but this particular lawsuit is in California. If you're a nurse or you work at a hospital, for instance, in any capacity really, but you have your PhD, do you get to call yourself Dr. So and so? If I have a PhD in history, but I work at a hospital, yes. Do I get to call myself Dr. Jack Armstrong? Yes. Well apparently you can't in a lot of states. That's against the law. It's not as clear in California. And this woman who was told not to call herself doctor anymore, she's a nurse, but she introduces herself as doctor so and so and has that on her little tag and signs things that way. It confuses the patients obviously. And she is told not to do that. She is suing, saying, you know, hey, I worked really hard to spend a lot of money. I got this degree. This is the title. I get to call myself this. So they're trying to work with that. I would suggest that the further it is from medical science or science at all, the more enthusiastic I am about this idea. You have a PhD in women's studies, you ought to call yourself doctor in the hospital and walk into patients rooms and they say doctor, I don't know if this drug is working. You say, well I wouldn't know. I don't know anything about medicine. Then walk out again and leave them wondering what the hell is going on here. But I can tell you about Napoleon's loss at Waterloo because that's what I have my PhD in. Wow. The whole I got a PhD so you gotta call me doctor. You know, I've known a few. Well, I've known quite a few people with PhDs, but I've only known a few that really trotted out a lot. Usually it's only when it's contextually makes sense. Like if, you know, if you're, if you're Having a meeting about business and you got somebody there who's got a PhD in business to introduce them as Dr. So and so went to Stanford. That's. That's perfectly fine. It's a stretch and that, but that's not even necessary. But they're just like regularly casual. You're out for dinner and you introduce yourself as Dr. So and so. Eh, Come on. Well, how about freaking Dr. Jill Biden? Exactly what I was thinking. She got what, a PhD in library or something? Library science or whatever it is. English. I've had more acquaintances or friends that actually kind of hide the fact that they have a Ph.D. unless it, like, really comes up in conversation and you would kind of get into a weird territory to not mention it. They don't mention it because of the way it comes off. So this particular woman who's suing California to be able to call herself doctor says she always tells patients as a nurse when she goes in there and they say, oh, hi, Dr. Janine. I have her name here, but doesn't matter. And she says, I'm not a medical doctor. I have my PhD in something else. My first thought would be, then why do you call yourself doctor in a freaking hospital? Wouldn't that be your first thought? Yeah. Amen to that. I don't know. It's. I don't know. Seem free. You know what you're doing. Quit pretending you don't know what you're doing walking around a hospital with a badge that says doctor so and so on. It's. I can't remember. Did you tell us what her PhD is in? I'm only mildly interested. I just. I had that in front of me and I don't remember. I'm just curious how ridiculous it is. What about DJs who refer to themselves as doctors? Yeah. Should they be allowed to identify themselves thusly in a hospital? Dr. Johnny Fever. I have spinned spun many platters to get this nickname. I deserve credit for it. She has a doctorate of nursing practice, whatever that is. Well, that's funny. I'm a doctor of nursing. That's weird. I'm a nursing of doctor. You want to go out sometime? Anyway, Wow. I would just say this. If you have a PhD and you probably know this, most people. I think the vast majority of people kind of roll their eyes if you introduce yourself as doctor so and so or your wife does or husband does or whatever. All right. I think most people. Do they make fun of you after you leave? Certainly. I like what Joe said. She basically has this. She has a Doctorate. And it's the highest level of nurse training is what I'm saying. So she's doctor Nurse. Yeah. Are you someone who can fix my knee or take out my gallbladder? No. Well then shut up. I agree with you, Katie. Woman sounds annoying. I'm a doctor of nursing. That's so funny. I'm trying to think, is there anything like anything similar to that? I don't know. These are pretty unique. Doctor of nursing. It'd be like I'm an engineer of. No, there's nothing analogous. I don't think so. Because a nurse is kind of sort of an assistant to doctors. I'm the president of vice presidents. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I'm the president of the Vice President's Association. I don't know that. That's something I would walk around pointing out every day. That's why I think she's obnoxious. What is, you know, what good is she doing herself or anyone else she encounters? So you're super well educated in your profession. Good for you. Go out and prove it. That's fine. I'm the captain of the second mates division. So moving on to Disney. I haven't heard what this is, but it's labeled as the secrets of Disney World. I've never been to Disney World. Maybe I'll learn something here. 1. At Magic Kingdom, all cast members are empowered to create magical moments. These are designed for. If you see a kid lose their turkey leg to a seagull, you can go get them a brand new one for free. Have you ever seen a janitor move trash through the park? The answer is no. That would destroy the magic. Every trash can that you see is not actually a trash can, but a chute that goes directly into Disney's trash compactor system called the Utilidor. Nobody throws up at Disney World. That's gross. They have protein spills and every cast member has protein spill powder. You throw it on top of the throw up, it dries it up and the janitor will come and clean it up. A few minutes later. I would have to call Child Protective Services, the police, and Disney management at least once a month while working at Space Mountain. Why? Their parents thought it would be a great idea to wait in a two and a half hour line to get onto Space Mountain and leave their kid out front. Well, by the time they get off that ride, the police greet them and no one leaves happy. And it's not very magical. Wow. So a couple of things. One, I think we need to start editing TikTok clips to put space between thoughts. I understand why they do it on Tick Tock, but for me, my mind, I get interested in something and then you hit with me with something else and okay, I can do that just about. Yeah. Like a beat. So I can. Boomer brain. Maybe I have boomer brain. Yeah. I mean, because Tick Tock's the most successful thing and ever. I guess young people can handle that. But I get. I hear it and like. Well, that's. Then they're on to the next thing. Anywho, I didn't know that. So you don't see janitors going to empty the garbage bins, which is kind of gross because it goes down into a chute. All right, interesting. They call vomiting protein spills. And every cast member has the powder. Got a utility belt like Batman. Right. Ready to throw a little powder on the protein spill. Immediately. A little puke powder. And then there were a couple other things in there I wanted to comment on, but my boomer brain couldn't comprehend them because it was coming at me so fast. Well, you have the people leaving their kid to fend for themselves, their little kid as they wait two and a half hours for a ride. Just sit there on the bench, Johnny, I'll be back. I did wait with my kids for I think two and a half hours for the Mario ride at Nintendo Land or whatever that thing is called. Is that what it's called? Nintendo Land? I don't even know what. No clue. Universal Studios? Nintendo World? Yeah, it's what's called. Yeah, yeah. And the Mario ride, which it had just opened and it was like the hottest thing going and if there goes half your day. Right. I mean, yeah, it's a lot of your day, but that's why we went. The reason we went was to ride that ride. So. And it was all 30 year olds. Right? A lot of 30 year olds in costume. A lot of 30 year olds by themselves in costume. Oh, boy. That I don't get. No. That makes me sad. But I would say that it was the quickest moving two and a half hours I've ever done in my life. I mean, they. You. I don't think I stood for more than a few seconds. You're kind of constantly shuffling or walking and usually in the Disney style. And this was their genius. You come across something interesting and entertaining as you're waiting. Yeah. You walk through the castle. So you'd go up these stairs, around a corner and then you're in a room. There's a couple of things to look at. And Then you go down this stair and Internet corner, hey, there's something interesting. So it went by fairly quickly. I don't know, whoever invented that, that was very clever. They understood psychology in an amazing way. But I don't know that I'd ever do it again. My one kid said it was absolutely worth it and my other kid said it was a teenager. Of course, nothing's worth it to him, right? By definition, as a teenager, nothing's cool. Nothing's worth it.

I feel like I've taken her fairly seriously from the beginning, but I can vouch for that he has. Yes, but I guess if you don't do it every single time and somebody only hears one comment like me commenting on her dress today, I feel like that's the only thing I've ever thought about her. She was wearing a red dress. And I said, man, that's some nice dress. In defense of Jack, red is a bold color for a politician to wear. It is if you wear a bright red dress. I assume you're trying to divert some attention to yourself, but isn't there some forbidding of doing that in the book of Leviticus or something like that? Wearing a red dress? But this person went on to say, if a man made a speech wearing a red suit, I'll bet you would have mentioned that first as well. And then women get that you have all the options for all these different clothes you can wear. If Mitt Romney came out in a bright red suit, I mean, the first thing anybody said, holy crap. What, he's sin bad or something? Yes, for instance, a professional pool player or something. I don't know. It's always struck me, you see the Senate chamber or the House chamber and you have every single guy in a dark suit, a white or light blue shirt, and a red or blue tie. Every single damn one of them. And then you've got the many colors of the rainbow of the gals, they're wearing white and yellow and red, blue and whatever they want. Colorful dresses, pants, suits, brooches. No brooches. You got all the options to you if you're a woman, Katie. But only of course the downside is, I know I've heard women say this before, is I gotta come up with something to wear where you get to just throw on a suit and always call yourself dressed up. Correct. Which is handy. Yeah, absolutely. Well, especially because it's also simpler. You have your pants, your shirt, your jacket, which is what you guys wear usually anyway. I wear a suit to work most every day. And it is, it is, it is easier than dressing casual to wear a suit. Oh yeah, absolutely true. If you have two suits, you've covered it. If you have three, you're trying too hard. And the other thing is about suits is you can gain five pounds, lose five pounds, they fit fine. Yeah, I got four suits. I rotate a bunch of dress shirts. It's super easy to dress. But if I was trying to dress up without a suit, that'd take a lot of money and time. Yeah, dress it. Dresses are not forgiving, guys, I'll tell you that. Those things do not give. Either it fits the way it did when you bought it. Or not. Yes, or. And it'll never fit that way again. Interesting. I've not had that situation. Haven't tried on many dresses. Huh. So the CIA has done a lot of wacky things throughout the years and a whole bunch of it has been declassified because after 25 years or 30 years or 50 years, there are different rules for different levels of stuff. Some of this stuff comes out. Some of this I've heard before, some of this I'd never like. All this stuff about the way we ways we tried to kill Fidel Castro, I've heard many, many times. Oh, a classic. We actually did try to poison his cigars or have exploding cigars and kill him. Or at least considered it. And a bunch of other stuff. But some of this new stuff I had not heard. The Osama bin Laden demon toy. The plan after 911 was to make figurines that looked like Osama bin Laden and give them to kids in South Asia. After being left in the sun for a certain amount of time, its face would peel off to reveal a demon like vision with red skin, green eyes and black markings. The objective was to scare kids and their parents so Bin Laden and Al Qaeda would lose support points for creativity. Geez, how about a stick with me now? How about a melting faced demon Figurine Sounds like they were on some bad acid. Wow. There are no bad ideas, Joe. Let's go with the Osama bin Laden demon face. This one's from the Cold War, but I don't think I'd heard this one before. The Cold War Condom drop plan. CIA operatives drew up a plan to have packets of extra large condoms labeled small dropped on the ussr. The idea was to lower their morale. That would work. Wow. I can't. This small condom still way too big for me. Wow. My. Must be tiny compared to the West. You know, with this tiny, I see no reason to fight for the motherland. If I had a giant, I would lay down my life gladly for this corrupt regime. Until the end. Yes. But with this minuscule, I am just going home, right? This is a devilish plan. That's hilarious. Wow. The acoustic kitty. They. They basically put a microphone and a radio and a cat and released it in the Soviet embassy to wander around eavesdropping, since nobody suspects a wandering cat. Wow. Wow. Poor cat. All of these ideas just sound like somebody was really high to me. They really do. Dude, what if you're to, like, put a microphone up a cat and then turn it loose because nobody's going to think a cat's a spy? Oh, dude. Most. What if the cat spy pooped out the mic? Dude, then it'd totally be busted. What are they gonna do? Question the cat, man. Most cat perverted. Most places of work I've been in, you just don't ignore wandering stray cats in the hallways. Different time. Another stray cat. Anyway, Jim, as I was saying, the place to attack the United States is. Oh, boy. But this is the one I wanted to get on because it backs up, I believe Hitler and I agree on one thing, and that is modern art is bogus. Wow. But modern art as a CIA weapon? Back during the 60s, the CIA noticed that artists tend to lean towards socialism, communism. They realized the best way to prevent this or discredit these political positions was to make them wealthy so that they would be more invested in capitalism. To do this, the ca anonymously bought modern art pieces, no matter how nonsensical, for very high prices, making a whole bunch of modern artists rich so they would embrace capitalism. So a lot of that modern art that got successful and sold was a CIA plot, not some discerning art collector. Hmm. That makes the cat Mike sound like a really good idea. I mean, good Lord, really? What the. Wow. Sounds like a massive waste of money. I know what we'll do. I mean, what if they just like donated to the Communist party. I mean, I don't like that one. That is weak. She like the cat microphone store better than the big fan of that one buying modern art. Huge fan. I'm not a fan. Did they give any specific examples? I mean, like, was Andy Warhol entirely a product of the CIA's? Right. You know, writing checks. Nobody had any interest in those soup cans except for the CIA. Could be. I don't know. Doesn't say. Wow. Wow, how interesting. Cat microphone. That's your favorite idea. Yeah, for a number of reasons. Exactly. The way they walk around with their tails up in the air. You could a camera. You know, they're shots. Yes. When he turns that toward you, that's a camera. It's a wide angle. Well, it has to be. Yeah. I'm here live. I'm not a cat. Gotcha, says the cat wandering around the embassy. Armstrong and Getty, head over to NFLShop.com today for the largest collection of officially licensed gear from all your favorite brands.
