- [03:51]
Jack Armstrong
A couple of quick things before I get to a couple of stories.
- [03:59]
Joe Getty
Wow. See, that's one of the things about the one More Thing podcast. Sometimes there are swears, although now Hansen has to label it so he doesn't run it on the air uncensored.
- [04:08]
Jack Armstrong
First one of 2025. There you go, Michael.
- [04:11]
Michael
The best outburst ever.
- [04:15]
Jack Armstrong
Oh boy.
- [04:16]
Joe Getty
Sorry. That was childish and I regret it.
- [04:18]
Jack Armstrong
It was very childish.
- [04:20]
Joe Getty
I loved it. Tell you what, your inner child leaves town, you're screwed. I keep mine healthy.
- [04:29]
Jack Armstrong
It reminds me we. So one of the fun things we did at Cousin Christmas we call it, where everybody gets together, my brothers, their families, kids, cousins, grandma, grandpa, everybody. We're there. We did a hot sauce competition.
- [04:43]
Joe Getty
Oh.
- [04:44]
Jack Armstrong
Based on the. What's that TV show?
- [04:46]
Joe Getty
Hot Ones.
- [04:46]
Jack Armstrong
Hot Ones, yeah. So you can buy the home version of Hot Ones and we watch hot. Have you ever watched Hot Ones, Joe?
- [04:51]
Joe Getty
I have not.
- [04:52]
Jack Armstrong
It's pretty entertaining. Watch the Shaq episode if you don't watch anything else because it's pretty funny. Yeah. They have celebrities on there and then they interview them while they try increasingly hot hot sauce with chips.
- [05:02]
Michael
Yeah, Shaq and Conan were stupid.
- [05:04]
Joe Getty
That sounds really entertaining.
- [05:05]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, I haven't seen Conan.
- [05:07]
Joe Getty
Conan's great. Funny.
- [05:09]
Jack Armstrong
Shaq is hilarious. Guzzle and milk. They have milk there to drink and I mean like crazy. I don't like spicy stuff, so I don't get any joy out of it. I didn't even participate. But everybody else did. Most everybody else did and it was pretty funny. Including my, the, my, my 13 year old Henry. He did the hottest one, the 2 million, whatever that number is. They got a scale, right, and it was the hottest one that they had. Yeah. Candle power. Anyway, he was just, he ran into the bathroom. We just heard him in there and he yelled, God. Oh, that got big laughs out of everyone.
- [05:51]
Joe Getty
It must be a guy thing.
- [05:52]
Michael
My husband, we bought hot ones thing and he did it with one of his friends and he completed it. He walked around like he just hulk smashed a building.
- [06:00]
Joe Getty
Like he was like, yeah.
- [06:02]
Michael
It was like the biggest testosterone boost I've ever seen in my life.
- [06:05]
Jack Armstrong
I guess it is a certain can you take it Thing because my, my brother, the, you know, served in Iraq several times, guy really likes taking on the hot sauce.
- [06:14]
Joe Getty
Wow, how interesting.
- [06:17]
Jack Armstrong
What was I leading up to? All these couple of things I came across. I don't know. They don't fit in. I'll do that.
- [06:23]
Joe Getty
I was gonna say, you know, I walk around with crippling joint pain all the time, so I'm good, frankly. You burn your mouth with hot sauce. I'm good over here. I got my thing, you got yours.
- [06:33]
Jack Armstrong
It's always.
- [06:33]
Joe Getty
Don't see the appeal.
- [06:34]
Jack Armstrong
It's always seemed a little bit to me like, I'll take these pliers and pinch you really hard. Does it hurt her if I picture here? How about if I pinch you here really hard?
- [06:44]
Joe Getty
You can hold their hand over a burner. Although you're not going to give yourself third degree burns, obviously with hot sauce.
- [06:49]
Jack Armstrong
So the, the, the, the thing came with a stack of cards and questions on them. And the way you're supposed to play the game is you can either answer the question or eat the hot sauce. And the questions are like embarrassing or revealing. So it's kind of a, you know, 13 year old. Now we've reached worked up to the really hot hot sauce. And here's the question. The questions were way too filthy and dirty. My, my son chose poorly. I should have looked at the box before we bought it at Target. I was looking through, I mean, just like this is for early 20 something drunk people sitting around. I mean, you know, what was your worst one night stand and just, you know, just stuff like that. A lot of them. But I dug out parenting. I dug out a bunch of the questions that were okay for the family and parenting. And then we did those and we didn't end up doing them for the hot sauce thing. We just tried the hot sauce on chips. But this was just conversation starters. I just needed something. We got, we're all sitting around and after like the initial. I don't know if anybody else has ever had this happen before, but you get all the family together and everything like that. And there's A big burst of energy. Then that kind of a bit of a lull happens, and now we got to come up with something. We gotta. Well, first of all, you go out to eat, like nine times, but when you're. You can't constantly go out to eat.
- [08:08]
Joe Getty
So you got so many cookies. I am now a cookie addict. Oh, Lord.
- [08:15]
Jack Armstrong
But so I dug out some of the questions, and what was the one I was going to do before I get to the final one? Oh, this is a pretty decent one. It was kind of interesting because I'm there as a parent with my kids, and then my parents were there with their kids and grandkids. And the question was, what trait would you least like to pass down to your kids?
- [08:36]
Joe Getty
Oh, that's heavy.
- [08:38]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. But I thought it was damned interesting. Again with the family relations there. It was interesting because my dad said, patience. I wish. I wish I had more patience. I don't have much patience. I never have, and I don't like that. And I wouldn't want to pass that along. And I thought, huh, I've kind of got that patience. I've got different things that bother me more than that. But, like, my son really has no patience, so. And I have no idea if that's a genetic thing or not.
- [09:06]
Joe Getty
Yeah, a lot of it is.
- [09:07]
Jack Armstrong
What would your answer be?
- [09:08]
Joe Getty
Oh, my God, Mine. It. That might be it. Yeah. Yeah, it would be something like that. Yeah, just patience, ability to. Look, you can make your point later. I'm thinking back to, you know, I was a young parent and ran a little hot, and there were times it took me a while to learn. Look, you can't make the point tonight with your angry, misbehaving kid. Just plant the seeds, throw a little fertilizer on it, and just leave it alone. And don't, you know, don't try to close the deal with a kid who's freaking out or whatever. Just let it rest. Something like that.
- [09:53]
Jack Armstrong
Just. I don't.
- [09:54]
Joe Getty
I don't know how I'd phrase it exactly. Give me a minute. I could probably come up with it.
- [09:57]
Jack Armstrong
But it was interesting to have, you know, hear my dad say it with me there. And then I've got one for my mind was procrastination. I just, I. I don't. I wouldn't want to pass that on to my kids. And I have to one of them, but not the other one, so that's cool. Katie, since you're planning to have a family, what trait of yours would you not like to pass along?
- [10:16]
Joe Getty
I would say my anxiety or My.
- [10:19]
Michael
Lack of ability to identify what's in my control. Like, I tend to worry about things that I can't do anything about.
- [10:27]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I was going to bring that up on the air. It was interesting with a very big group of people and, like, the weather conditions getting worse there, the different levels of being worried about it, given that the result is going to be the same either way. The person that worries zero about it or the person that is, and I'm not going to mention any names, infinitely worried about it, like, to a really high point. The result will be the same way. The same either way. Which is really interesting about worry.
- [10:59]
Joe Getty
And the challenge in front of you will be the same. Yeah.
- [11:02]
Jack Armstrong
And not to be a too much of a downer is like my son, who's got a variety of issues. He said, I don't want to pass along my ocd, which was hard. Michael, anything you don't want to pass along to your cats?
- [11:18]
Joe Getty
Maybe jealousy.
- [11:19]
Jack Armstrong
Sometimes you get jealous of others a little bit. A little bit envious. Interesting. That's a good one, man.
- [11:25]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, speaking of cats, Michael, for what it's worth, our daughter brought her cats with her and they've been. Were in my home, for gosh. When did she get here?
- [11:37]
Jack Armstrong
I noticed there's an S on there. Is it two or 15?
- [11:39]
Joe Getty
Two.
- [11:40]
Jack Armstrong
Okay.
- [11:40]
Joe Getty
Two cats. Brothers. Very, very cute little fellows. Oh, my gosh. I'm at least provisionally. I'm not on Team Cat, like versus Dog, but I had a lot of fun with the cats, really enjoyed their company. Kill little fellas. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
- [11:56]
Jack Armstrong
And then. So one more card and this will be the. The end of the the One More Thing podcast for today. The question was, have you ever shoplifted? And there are only two people that had in our big group. I never have. Maybe we answer some questions here. Michael, have you ever shoplifted?
- [12:14]
Joe Getty
No.
- [12:15]
Jack Armstrong
Katie?
- [12:16]
Joe Getty
No.
- [12:16]
Michael
On accident, but no.
- [12:17]
Jack Armstrong
On accident.
- [12:19]
Michael
Yeah, I walked out of it. I walked out of a Target with a pair of sunglasses on my head.
- [12:23]
Joe Getty
And when I got home, realized it.
- [12:26]
Michael
Drove back, returned them, got a crazy look.
- [12:28]
Joe Getty
That's not triple opinion, absent mindedness. Yes, absolutely. As a kid, I fell under the sway of some older boys who were not a good influence at all. I was probably eight years old. I might have been nine, something like that. And there's some of the neighborhood boys and they kind of adopted me, and that's what they're doing. And I'm like, all right. It was a good learning experience, though. It honestly was because the. Because we got busted because we were stupid kids. And the. Whatever you call the security guy at the store.
- [12:58]
Michael
Prevention.
- [12:59]
Joe Getty
Yeah, exactly. That's the term I was looking for. Chewed us out. I mean, like really till there are tears. And then mom and dad came and it was like, oh. And at that young age, I hadn't fully appreciated that I am a. Extension of my parents and my siblings and my family. And we have a joke. I probably should. Shouldn't do the accent. We do it in. But as, as our kids embark on something, they will say to each other, we will say to them, bring pride to family. And. And it helped me really appreciate that.
- [13:34]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's a good one. It's a good thing it didn't happen in, you know, modern California up until a month ago that nobody would have busted you, you know, just.
- [13:41]
Joe Getty
Oh, all right. Could it. Yeah. Built a career as a criminal. Probably a very successful career. So one more thought on the hot sauce thing. While I do not find any joy in seeing who can endure the most pain to their nerve endings in their mouth, the idea of trying to maintain your cool and like, speak coherently while you are dealing with the hot sauce, that is very funny.
- [14:05]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why, that's why that show is funny. Just Google the Shaq episode and watch it. So on the. Did you shoplift? Two people in the group of everybody said yes. My one niece said yes. And we were all shocked. And. And she said, yeah, she kind of does it for fun. And I, I have a friend, like, super successful, very smart person who went through a big shoplifting phase in their 20s. And it was just the thrill of it. That wasn't stuff they needed or anything they got like a thrill out of. It's like people who lie for the thrill of it or whatever. So I've never had that. But then my dad shockingly said I did once. I did once. And it was like, for some reason my dad, now that he's 87, tells stories that he's never told ever in his life. And I don't know if he didn't think we could handle it or what, but he tells stories now that we're like, my brothers are. And I are always like, where. Why were you holding on to this your whole life?
- [15:02]
Joe Getty
Right. I had that experience with my 84 year old dad this past summer. He was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and he got out in the early 70s. And he explained, because he'd quote, unquote, explained why to me earlier in my life, but he'd left out, like, a lot of it, which was. He was fully cognizant of how dishonest the Department of Defense and the White House were being about the war. And he hated it.
- [15:30]
Jack Armstrong
Wow, that's interesting.
- [15:32]
Joe Getty
And he'd never uttered a word of that to me.
- [15:35]
Jack Armstrong
That is interesting. Yeah. So my dad says, I did once. And we're. We're all like, what? Because my dad is super honest law and order guy, which I really appreciate. And he said, yeah, I was in the army, and I was working KP in the kitchen, and I stole something out of the kitchen and took it back to my room. And I felt so guilty about it the next day. I never stole anything again. We said, what did you take? A gallon jar of olives.
- [16:08]
Joe Getty
Well, one of the great pleasures in life.
- [16:09]
Jack Armstrong
What the freak are you gonna do with a gallon of olives? You're one thing you steal in your whole life.
- [16:15]
Michael
I'm gonna sit back and enjoy those.
- [16:17]
Joe Getty
Olives is what you're gonna do. All the dirty mushrooms. After a long day in the kitchen, you're gonna pop a little olive.
- [16:27]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God. I guess that's part of the whole you grew up without electricity or indoor plumbing thing. You know, the joy of an olive may have been pretty exciting for that.
- [16:37]
Joe Getty
Yeah.
- [16:37]
Jack Armstrong
It's like when I read Tom Sawyer to the kids. They're like, why are they getting so excited about an apple? Well, they didn't have apples. I guess that's what it was with my dad. A jar of olives.
- [16:47]
Joe Getty
Stolen army olives.
- [16:49]
Jack Armstrong
The guy that was with him stole a half gallon of ice cream and stuck it under his shirt. On the way back to the barracks, they got stopped and had to stand in the hot sun for a while. And that guy's ice cream started to melt, and he became one big wet stain of ice cream. I don't know. I didn't ask where My dad must have stashed the gallon jar of olives, because that's not easy to hide either, but. Oh, of all.
- [17:11]
Joe Getty
You don't think. No, surely not.
- [17:14]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, jeez. He can't suitcase a gallon jar of olives.
- [17:18]
Joe Getty
Not with that attitude, you can't. Okay.

Jack Armstrong
I just ran into my son in the hallway. He said, what are you doing home?
- [17:52]
Joe Getty
I'm at home.
- [17:53]
Jack Armstrong
And the reason I'm home, as I told him, is because I'm on the tail end of the flu and my stomach is not good. This whole flu thing. I'm flying today and I'm gonna get an aisle seat, if you know what I'm saying. I need to be able to move quickly. Move quickly.
- [18:12]
Joe Getty
There are remedies, of course. Are you. I know you're hip to them.
- [18:16]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
- [18:16]
Joe Getty
I don't know.
- [18:17]
Jack Armstrong
I hate to take some sort of. Stop me all up.
- [18:20]
Joe Getty
What do you hate more? That's a good question. Yeah. Oh, my God. Speaking of medical matters, I just got a call during the commercial break from my dermatologist. They got a slice on me again, and I'm going to walk in there. I've threatened before to bring my own knife and say, yeah, come at me. Let's go. You like it? Come and get some. But I've changed my strategy. I'm going to walk in there and say, hey, let's. Let's save all of us a little time and trouble. Just skin me. Just take all of it.
- [18:47]
Jack Armstrong
All right.
- [18:50]
Joe Getty
Or at least my back, we'll call it.
- [18:51]
Jack Armstrong
Good covering. Some sort of cellophane or something.
- [18:54]
Joe Getty
Oh, man, those. Those summer days on the Indiana dunes all covered with oil.
- [19:01]
Jack Armstrong
That's like the only thing going the right direction. You know how I always. I always say, name one thing that's getting better, right? Because everything seems like it's getting worse. One thing that's getting better is as we stay out of the sun. And our kids, like my kids, I think one of them has had one sunburn and the other one's none in their lives. And I used to get burnt practically every day.
- [19:23]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. With the. The cost being paid now with slicings. Anyway. What was I gonna say? Sunburn. Sunscreen. Doing better.
- [19:33]
Jack Armstrong
Skin. You skinning, Joe?
- [19:35]
Joe Getty
Yeah, let's. Yeah. Anyway, we're not coming off at all like old Al Green shaking his cane on the.
- [19:44]
Jack Armstrong
You can get the flu at any age.
- [19:46]
Joe Getty
Well, right. Oh, no, I'm just. Yeah, just. Yeah, yeah, man.

Jack Armstrong
Here's something exciting. McDonald's is going to use AI computer vision and facial recognition in store mounted cameras at the drive through to determine whether the orders are accurate before they're handed to customers. Oh, so the same technology that is facial recognition, they're going to look at your bag, I guess, and say, it looks like two cheeseburgers and McFlurry. Go ahead, give it to him. It's necessary. You know what drives all this, by the way? Raising the minimum wage to where they can't afford employees. So, like, they're willing to spend whatever they got to spend to get to eliminate employees. Ding.

So so this story is not in and of itself terribly significant I don't think, except that it's symbolic and illustrates a point. You have this county in New York, Chemung County. They have a system of libraries. It happens to be a fairly conservative part of New York, interestingly. But they have expelled all of the Tuttle twins books from the child and youth sections.
- [25:18]
Jack Armstrong
I don't know those books.
- [25:20]

They are enormously popular now among especially conservative America. Conservative to moderate America. They are absolutely entertaining, funny, well written books that represent traditional values. I will read from their website and.

Jack Armstrong
Help you understand gender fluidity.
- [25:42]
Joe Getty
Oh no, they don't really get into that. An innovative series of colorful, engaging books that use storytelling to share important economic, civic and real history principles with your child. Plus workbooks, audiobooks and parent guides to empower parents and enhance learning. And they have many, many titles. And great.
- [26:01]
Jack Armstrong
To help you understand gender fluidity.
- [26:04]
Joe Getty
No, no, again, I think you're misunderstanding this. No, you know what it is? It's books that educate. And I almost hate to use that word, but haven't we all learned a ton from various stories and books we've read about life and love and humanity and science in some cases and that sort of thing? Written from a point of view that is not about gender fluidity. It's good stories that would have been written a generation ago. And the response has been absolutely enormous to these books. Well, this county library banned these books. Why? They were asked. Listen to this, would you? Some of the content promotes a specific political and economic perspective that clashes with the library's policy to include all points of view. The implication being these books have a point of view but do not reflect all points of view, which is a bizarre requirement.
- [27:06]
Jack Armstrong
So what's.
- [27:06]
Joe Getty
Of course.
- [27:07]
Jack Armstrong
What's the points of view that they do reflect? Does that have like. So it has like. Okay, okay.
- [27:16]
Joe Getty
In America. Yeah.
- [27:19]
Jack Armstrong
So if you do well, it kind of. My joke turns out it's too real. So if you don't include gender fluidity, you're not including all points of view. So it's got. The book's got to be banned.
- [27:30]
Joe Getty
Or if you proudly advocate for traditional civic virtues and morality and family values, you cannot be in that library because I quote, some of the content promotes a specific political and economic perspective. Free markets. That clashes with the library's policy to include all points of view. Then this author shows the email that was leaked to them, yet they're banning our books, writes Conor Boyak, who's the author. Which teach parent kids and their parents about free markets, property rights, personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, and more. This shows that you can't assume anything about anything in your area simply because we're mostly conservative or whatever. The left has captured most of society's institutions. They dominate the schools and the libraries, even in otherwise conservative communities. And Connor, I would say to you, sir, we have been saying for a very long time around here, you can live in the reddest area in the world. You have a blue blotch right in the middle of your town or county. It's your local school and or library. But then Conor Boyak writes, I think my favorite thing here is that they're removing the Tuttle twins books because they alleged our books contain, quote, a political and economic perspective that clashes with their policy to include all points of view. So because our books aren't inclusive of all points of view. They're excluding them. The irony is thick. This sounds like something the Babylon Bee would write. Meanwhile, what kids books are included in this library?
- [29:06]
Jack Armstrong
There you go.
- [29:07]
Joe Getty
Let's take a look at screenshots, which, Jack, I happen to have in front of me. A is for Activist.
- [29:13]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God.
- [29:13]
Joe Getty
It's an ABC board book written and illustrated for the next generation of progressives. Families want their kids to grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism. Environmental justice, civil rights, LBGTQ rights.
- [29:24]
Jack Armstrong
Oh my God.
- [29:25]
Joe Getty
Et cetera, et cetera.
- [29:26]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God. That is unbelievable and believable at the same time.
- [29:31]
Joe Getty
Here's another book that's included. Phenomenal AOC The Roots and Rise of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
- [29:38]
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Wow, wow.
- [29:41]
Joe Getty
Continuing on Radical My Year with a Socialist Senator by Sophia Warren. Moving along, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, A resource resource by and for transgender communities in this library. Connor goes on, wait, there's more. Why not? We're having fun. Kamala raised her hand. A tribute to Vice President Kamala Harris, recounting every time she raised her hand to stand up for what she believes.
- [30:14]
Jack Armstrong
So the other day. I'll be vague about this.
- [30:17]
Joe Getty
Let me finish the list real quick. Greta Thunberg, climate activist, beacon of hope, the Life of Barack Obama. And I'm an activist. An Introduction to Activism. Teaches people who are changing the world, blah, blah, blah. And it's for kids. Go on.
- [30:33]
Jack Armstrong
The other day, my son was in a situation with another kid his age, 13 year old, who made some sort of comment that he didn't understand. And he said, you know, what are you talking about? Or what does that mean? Or something like that. And the kid said, what are you against bisexuals? Are you homophobic? And I just thought, why does this come up all the time?
- [31:00]
Joe Getty
All the time.
- [31:01]
Jack Armstrong
And it's because of these books that they have at the schools and the stuff they teach at school. Plus, you know, who knows what parents are talking about all the time. But why is this topic so prevalent? Why is it impossible to get away from sexuality as a topic all the time? God, it never came up when I was young, certainly at that age and younger.
- [31:23]
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, Read James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose's cynical theories about critical theory, queer theory, radical gender theory, and why they push that stuff. It has to do with neo Marxism and eroding the values of Western society so you can overthrow it. But I'm reminded, I mean, this library, obviously saying some of the content promotes a specific political and economic perspective that clashes with the library's policy to include all points of view, which is great prices. Ridiculous, laughable, cynical lie. And I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes about these people. Marxists just lie. They lie so overtly and blatantly that people begin to question their own perceptions. It works because no one expects another person to lie so overtly. So these woke libraries, these woke schools, these woke universities, they will out and out deny that they're doing what they're doing. Be. Just be ready for it. Be aware that the nice local librarian will lie to your face about what they're doing and why they're doing it.
- [32:30]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I find that very, very frustrating. And I have comments I'd like to make, but I don't want to hurt feelings or cause problems. But yeah, the whole library thing, it's.
- [32:43]
Joe Getty
Something that's the other thing Marxists count on. And you're talking about your personal life, so I'm not telling you you should mess up your personal life by but they 100% count on you being afraid to make the encounter hostile and unfriendly. They count on your niceness to win the day.
- [33:03]
Jack Armstrong
Some of those book titles you gave us oh my God.
- [33:06]
Joe Getty
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, there's no one Way to Be Transgender Trans Bodies Trans Selves is a revolutionary resource, a comprehensive, reader friendly gu for transgender people with each chapter written by transgender and gender expansive authors.
- [33:23]
Jack Armstrong
I like the Rise of aoc, a minor congressperson who's a socialist but happens to be attractive, so she gets lots of attention. Yeah, good.
- [33:30]
Joe Getty
And that book is in the library. That's right. Armstrong and getty.

And not only does it look like one eight weeks post operatively, it's acting like one. The level of kidney function is as good as we would expect from a human kidney transplant.
- [37:57]
Joe Getty
Holy cow. Nice job, pig kidney.
- [38:00]
Jack Armstrong
So kidneys is one of the big ones because why do your kidneys go south on you? It just happens sometimes.
- [38:06]
Joe Getty
High blood pressure is one major cause.
- [38:09]
Jack Armstrong
Because liver is often a drinking and drugs thing.
- [38:11]
Joe Getty
Right.
- [38:11]
Jack Armstrong
But kidneys can just fail on you.
- [38:13]
Joe Getty
Yeah, I don't know. Some drugs you process through your kidneys, but I don't know much about it.
- [38:17]
Jack Armstrong
Anyway, so you got two of those, you got one liver, you got two kidneys. Am I right so far? And then if you need a new kidney, somebody who has a. Is a match for you, you can have taken one of their kidneys. Because a person can get by on one kidney, right? But that's always been.
- [38:32]
Joe Getty
If you have no kidneys, that's a drag, right?
- [38:35]
Jack Armstrong
And then you gotta find somebody with a kidney. And sometimes you're on the list and thinking, man, if I don't get a kidney soon, I'm gonna be kidney less, which you can't be. And then you'll die. Nobody wants that. Yes. Katie, do you know something about kidneys?
- [38:45]
Joe Getty
Well, yeah, I have a kidney disease. And the transplant list for kidneys is the longest out of all of the organs.
- [38:52]
Jack Armstrong
Do you still have both yours?
- [38:54]
Michael
I do.
- [38:54]
Jack Armstrong
They both work?
- [38:56]
Michael
For the most part, yes.
- [38:58]
Jack Armstrong
But if one failed, there's.
- [38:59]
Joe Getty
Can. There are cancers that affect the kidneys. There are all sorts of things that can hurt them. Yeah. Yeah.
- [39:03]
Jack Armstrong
How'd you ruin your kidneys? It's just a, like, genetic thing or.
- [39:06]
Joe Getty
It's a genetic thing.
- [39:08]
Jack Armstrong
Gotcha. And then. But so we've been hearing about this our whole lives, and now if they could use pig kidneys, that would eliminate the whole problem, I assume.
- [39:16]
Joe Getty
Yeah, unless you're a pig. Then it causes a whole new set of problems. But the point remains. It's in advance more of Dr. Sanjay Gupta's report.
- [39:25]
Jack Armstrong
Now, there is one complication they're watching for very carefully. Something that is unique to xeno transplants and could affect not only Tim, maybe all of sudden a. If there is some sort of weird or strange virus in the pig and it gets into the human population through one of these transplants, might not only affect the patient, but people around the patient as well.
- [39:45]
Joe Getty
In all the studies that we're doing, we're not only monitoring the patient, but their close contacts.
- [39:52]
Jack Armstrong
You're right. These stories are always presented from the human being point of view and not from the pig's point of view in which he would say, hey, I was using this.
- [40:00]
Joe Getty
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You show me where I said this was cool. It is not cool, by the way. The idea of some horrendous pig virus spreading to humans. Dr. Fauci says, what, he's probably doing experiments in North Korea right now at some leaky lab financing that. Good thing Biden pardoned him. Never forget one more nugget from this story.
- [40:25]
Jack Armstrong
This is really the progress of several Nobel prize winning discoveries. Everything from crispr, which is gene editing technology, actually taking genes out of the pig genome, adding other genes in from humans into the pig genome. They also use cloning, they use ivf, they use transplant immunology. These are just huge, huge developments in the world of medicine that have all sort of come together to make this work. But they basically make the pig genome compatible with humans. That's what they do. Two legs good, four legs bad. That's where you end up.
- [40:57]
Joe Getty
Fall in love with her cute little snout. Her hooves. Let me stroke your hooves, my love.
- [41:01]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that'd be cool. If this becomes a thing of the past, having to worry about kidneys, do.
- [41:06]
Joe Getty
They get to vote? He's half human, half pig.
- [41:09]
Jack Armstrong
Well, not exactly half, but.
- [41:12]
Joe Getty
Katie. Yes.
- [41:13]
Michael
Yeah, I, I do have to tell.
- [41:14]
Joe Getty
You, during that report, when they were giving the guy the ultrasound to show him the kidney, he. He rubbed his stomach and went. You can feel the little piggy right there. A little cringy.
- [41:25]
Jack Armstrong
That's very cringey. And do you, every time you eat like bacon, do you kind of just like nod up to heaven a little bit? Kind of a salute, Like a little.
- [41:33]
Joe Getty
Toast for the homies.
- [41:35]
Jack Armstrong
For the homies.
- [41:36]
Joe Getty
Or, or, or do you like, vomit it because you're, you know, you're rejected. Yeah, cannibalism, right? Yeah, it's right. Take a pickabalism.
- [41:44]
Jack Armstrong
Anyway, so will the doctor that puts your pig kidney in you have been the most qualified person they could get at ucla, or did they just fit the racial quotas that they wanted? This is going on at ucl. UCLA Medical School, one of the most, you know, prestigious medical schools in the entire world. They're clearly, clearly continuing to use race and admissions. I mean, there's just no getting around it whatsoever. And there's a lawsuit going on right now, and it's against the Asians because they just. There's too many Asian kids that are super smart and can qualify for the school and not enough black kids. And they don't like that result. So what do you do? You discriminate by race. I mean, you, the lefties, you discriminate by race to try to fix the problem, which is just nuts, Right?
- [42:32]
Joe Getty
Right. UCLA Medical is unforgivably woke. A new story emerges every week.
- [42:38]
Jack Armstrong
Lawsuit brought on behalf of students denied admission since 2020. According to the complaint, UCLA will routinely admit Black applicants with below average GPA and MCAT scores. In 2023, Asians were 41% of the total applicants and only 28% of the people that graduated. Black applicants made up 8% of the applicants, but 14% of the graduates.
- [43:06]
Joe Getty
Yeah. So at much lower scores.
- [43:08]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's amazing.
- [43:09]
Joe Getty
Some of them.
- [43:11]
Jack Armstrong
Racial preferences have been outlawed in California since 1996. Even in California, we voted that now making decisions based on race is racist. We ain't going to do that even in California. But of course, the enlightened universities find their way around it, Right?
- [43:28]
Joe Getty
And here's an idea. Black America, we just keep, you know, growing school choice and all the other things that will actually improve education and educational outcomes for black kids so that every damn black man or woman who graduates from a medical school, everybody will know they're 100% qualified. And there will never be any whispers about, you know, diversity hires or DEI doctors or wouldn't that be great? And yet the progressives are the ones who prevent that.
- [44:00]
Jack Armstrong
Justice Roberts wrote in the Students for Fair Admissions case that racial preferences cannot be reconciled with the Constitution's equal protection clause and that a student must be traded based on his or her experience as an individual, not on the basis of race. Obs would be my response as a non writer.
- [44:20]
Joe Getty
Obs.
- [44:22]
Jack Armstrong
It's amazing how hard it is to kill off this kind of racism.
- [44:27]
Joe Getty
Well, they, they do it with the approval of their own consciences. They are utterly convinced that they are doing the right thing. By pushing some people down to elevate others. It's the hubris of. It has always amazed me. You think so highly of yourself, your judgments, your morals, that you can wield the awful, awful tool of racial discrimination to get the outcome that you say is appropriate. Sickening. You people sicken me. And. And, God dang it. This is. And I almost said a very nasty thing. I'm glad I didn't. Part of me wishes I had. Anyway.
- [45:07]
Jack Armstrong
You're conflicted on this. I am.
- [45:09]
Joe Getty
Thank you for summarizing. What really blanking pisses me off is that these same people are putting the band aid of. Look, they're not really qualified and we really didn't educate them at government schools, but let's go ahead and shove them into these upper tier colleges and medical schools or whatever and then pretend like they're qualified. You are making it impossible to actually reform schools for the little kids when they're young and idealistic and want to learn. I'm talking about your black kids and whatever kids of whatever race you're talking about you with your. Let's just go ahead and kowtow to the teachers unions, then elevate them artificially when they hit college. You are making it impossible to do the real work to improve these people's lives. You hypocritical self. Regarding Bad you bastards. I hate you. You want hate speech? There it is. I hate you.
- [46:04]
Jack Armstrong
So these are. These are kidneys are actually taken just out of a regular pig. It's not one of those. They're growing a pig valve in a petri dish or something?
- [46:14]
Joe Getty
I don't actually know that. I mean, the guy mentioned the many, many incredible technologies that grow in. Go into getting a very different. I mean, it's not a typical. You can't like go down to your local hog farm, steal a kidney and have it stuffed in you. These are incredibly advanced.
- [46:31]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, so it's not just a regular run of the mill. Orville the pig kidney.
- [46:36]
Joe Getty
No. Were you listening?
- [46:38]
Jack Armstrong
Didn't understand. So they had to use the crispr and everything else to bring this kidney around.
- [46:44]
Joe Getty
There you go. Yep. Among other things. Yeah.
- [46:48]
Jack Armstrong
And what is it with the pig? Why the pig? Why not the monkey, for instance?
- [46:54]
Joe Getty
Yeah, the. The monkey. Which is genetically very similar. Certainly. Apes are certainly.
