Episode Overview

This episode of “Armstrong & Getty On Demand” dives into a fast-paced, satirical, and sometimes irreverent exploration of key political, economic, and cultural headlines from late March 2026. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty take on inflation, war in the Middle East, media coverage, presidential libraries, and the ongoing oddities of American life—all with their signature blend of humor, skepticism, and plain talk. The show also touches on generational quirks, technology etiquette, and the psychology of American consumers.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Should America Declare War?

Timestamps: [04:20] – [05:39]

• The hosts open with mock debate about declaring war, questioning why it's in the Constitution if rarely used in practice.
• Joe Getty laments the lack of seriousness in public debate about war:

  “If we don't [declare war], we must strike that from the Constitution. Never speak of it again.” [05:03]

• Armstrong observes increased special forces presence in the Middle East, speculating about U.S. intentions.
• Referencing the Trump administration, they note how political posturing (“you got until next Wednesday…then we blasted the hell out of ‘em on Friday”) can be misleading signals, both then and now.

---

The Inflation Rant & Captain Pedantic

Timestamps: [06:12] – [09:41]

• Armstrong launches a classic “Captain Pedantic” rant around misleading gas price headlines, emphasizing real vs. nominal prices:

  “Gas hits $4 for the first time since 2022. No, it did not…$4 gas is really $3.58 gas by 2022 numbers.” [06:40]

• Inflation’s real impact gets underscored:

  “If you have $400,000 in your 401k, it’s worth what $358,000 was just 4 years ago.” [08:03]

• Getty sharply critiques inflationary government spending:

  “The government took $32,000 from you…so that they could print more money to buy votes and pay off their cronies. That’s what inflationary monetary policy is. It’s buying votes and patronage. It’s craft.” [08:19]

• Both argue that a general lack of inflation knowledge is “perhaps the greatest blind spot in America’s vision.” [09:03]

---

Observations on Homelessness

Timestamps: [11:03] – [12:55]

• Short feature on an interview with a woman living homeless in Los Angeles County.
• Armstrong points out:

  “All the do-gooders of the world ignore how often people say they prefer to stay out there.” [11:49]

• Getty comments on conditions:

  “They often live in lovely places where you could not afford to buy a house, river banks, park-like settings…” [12:45]

• Noted: L.A. County is shrinking for the first time, likely due to cost and policy issues.

---

U.S. Holidays & Worker Recognition

Timestamps: [09:56] – [10:28]

• The hosts humorously parse the difference between Labor Day, National Workers Day, and Cesar Chavez Day, poking fun at America’s proliferation of themed holidays and who is supposed to feel honored.

---

The Media & Punditry’s Need for Certainty

Timestamps: [19:36] – [19:52]

• Wall Street Journal op-ed discussed, critiquing media’s “binary” war coverage (either “going bad” or “going great”), ignoring inherent ambiguity.
• Getty:

  “You’ve got to pretend to be 100% certain about everything all the time. There’s no ambiguity.” [19:52]

---

National & Offbeat Headlines with Katie Green

Timestamps: [20:28] – [25:12]

• Middle East: Trump (and oil prices), Iran’s regime change, shipping costs soaring.
• Tiger Woods: His ex-wife’s concern post-DUI crash.
• Kid Rock: Army investigates Apache helicopter flyby.
• Trump Presidential Library: Plans for a Miami skyscraper with golden statues.
• NASA’s Moon Launch: First planned manned mission in 53 years.
• Gen Z at Work: Viral reports Gen Z naps at lunch; Armstrong says this isn’t new.
• AI Etiquette: Should you say “please” to AI? All three hosts find themselves doing so. Armstrong:

  “It bothers me when my kids are rude to the grok lady. I don’t know why.” [24:37]

• Babylon Bee Spoof: “Every inning of baseball aired on a different streaming service.”

---

Robot Umpires and Baseball

Timestamps: [25:30] – [25:54]

• Brief discussion about early results from robot umpire system in pro baseball, noting little controversy or impact—so far.

---

Science Quick Takes

Timestamps: [30:31] – [31:44]

• Armstrong & Getty ponder the slingshot effect of Earth’s rotation for moon missions.
• Getty relates an easy-to-understand explanation:

  “Tell Jack to imagine a marble in a funnel…that’s the slingshot effect.” [31:09]

---

The Great Diet Debate: Delicious vs. Healthy Meals

Timestamps: [32:11] – [34:51]

• Getty summarizes new dietary guidelines advocating plant proteins and low-fat dairy.
• Armstrong asserts:

  “If you have more than one delicious meal a week, your diet isn’t correct.” [33:21]

• Katie Green pushes back—salmon and bell peppers can be delicious and healthy.
• They humorously discuss whether most people would trade years of life for more indulgent meals.

---

Trump and Presidential Libraries

Timestamps: [38:42] – [41:33]

• Armstrong and Getty ridicule the flamboyant, fundraising-heavy designs of presidential libraries.
• Armstrong’s memorable quip on Biden’s potential “library”:

  “Biden’s gonna have like a shelf at his local library because nobody wants to donate to that. Look, you’re a miserable, senile failure as a president. Here’s five bucks. All right, now leave me alone.” [40:38]

• Getty:

  “The Joe Biden memorial shelf. That’s gonna be his presidential library.” [41:13]

---

Listener Mailbag & Miscellaneous

Timestamps: [47:13] – [52:28]

• Armstrong & Getty share a William Bradford quote:

  “What our forefathers, with so much difficulty secured, do not basely relinquish.” [48:00]

• Audience comments on AI content “fakery,” Tiger Woods’ woes, and wealth measures (income vs net worth).
• Armstrong, self-aware:

  “We gotta work on that. We really are [the most depressing podcast ever].” [49:39]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Captain Pedantic and his sidekick, Picky Boy.” – Armstrong & Getty, riffing on nitpicking inflation headlines [06:28]
• “It’s practically incomprehensible…that the surface of the earth is moving at something like 10,000 miles per hour.” – Getty, on physics of space travel [31:35]
• “You made it rhyme louder and it’s rhyme in a long time. There you go.” – Armstrong, joking about mock ‘Joe Biden Memorial Shelf’ [41:21]

---

Episode Highlights & Tone

• Straight talk, skepticism, and humor define Armstrong & Getty’s style—no sacred cows, but also no grandstanding certainty.
• The show emphasizes understanding real vs. headline economic indicators, calling out political and media nonsense.
• Pop culture and meme moments (robot umpires, AI politeness, Gen Z lunch naps) get the same mix of gentle ridicule and curiosity.
• The “memorial shelf” for Biden is a recurring punchline for presidential library excesses (and failures).
• Frequent inside jokes (Captain Pedantic, “I’m more familiar with the bums of Northern California”) keep the mood lively.

In Summary

This Armstrong & Getty episode is a quick-moving tour of current events, economics, and culture, always with wry detachment, pop references, and a healthy dose of “can you believe this?” banter. Inflation, Middle East drama, presidential egos, and America’s oddball rituals are all fair game, as the guys urge listeners to be skeptical, curious, and (maybe) a little less earnest.

Not just for fans—this episode serves as a quick litmus test for anyone trying to keep their sense of humor (and sanity) amid the headlines of 2026.

How do you think learning an instrument

helps kids with confidence?

[Jack Armstrong]

Learning an instrument allows them to discover

[Joe Getty]

a little bit further of who they

[Jack Armstrong]

are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up. The full episode is out now, presented

[Jack Armstrong]

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center,

[Weatherbug/Klarna/Martha Stewart Advertiser]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and get it.

[Joe Getty]

Live from Studio C C. It's a

[Jack Armstrong]

dimly lit room these up in the fouls of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y', all, today we're toiling

[Joe Getty]

under the title of the show Ado Declare War. The question should we declare war?

[Jack Armstrong]

Why not?

[Joe Getty]

It's clearly a war. Second possible title Tiger Woods Streak of days not rolling a vehicle reaches three.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good for him.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, good for. Hey, nice job, Tiger. Journey of a thousand miles, right? Yeah. One day at a time or something, huh?

[Jack Armstrong]

Why do you. Why do you think we need to declare war?

[Joe Getty]

I just. I was reading the case for it. If we don't, we must strike that from the Constitution. Never speak of it again. Well, yeah, sure, we've been there before, but I mean, let's revisit the question. Why is it in the stinking Constitution we're gonna ignore it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Hundreds more Special forces headed to the Middle East. I see on a headline up there we have 50,000 troops there.

[Joe Getty]

That is making the world hold its breath. Is this leverage for a settlement? Well, or the other obvious possibility. Are they there to. Well, as I said yesterday, the Marines ain't there to play some pundit On

[Jack Armstrong]

Ms. Now reminded me of when this whole thing started. Trump in the middle of the week said, okay, you got, you got till next Wednesday. Then we blasted the hell out of him on Friday. It was completely a, you know, let your guard down. So that might be exactly what's going on now. When he, when he extended that whole thing to 10 days, that takes us up April 4th or 6th or whatever it is. That might just be completely nothing.

[Joe Getty]

Wasn't there something similar with Maduro too? He'd announced, you know, productive talks are being held and we look forward to lunch tomorrow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, I gotta get my annoying thing of the day out of the way.

[Joe Getty]

Do it. Get it off your chest.

[Jack Armstrong]

I am Captain Pedantic on this particular issue.

[Joe Getty]

The world's most annoying superhero.

[Jack Armstrong]

No kidding. Hey, it's Captain Pedantic. Is he going to save us? No, no, no. He's just gonna nitpick about various things that we got wrong.

[Joe Getty]

Captain Pedantic and his side, his sidekick, Picky Boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

But this one bothers me because it's the lead story all over the place. Gas hits $4 for the first time since 2022. No, it did not. And it took me, I know I did a lot of journalistic work on here. It took me 30 seconds of digging through the inflation calculator. It hit 358. That's how much inflation we've had in four years.

[Joe Getty]

Great Scott.

[Jack Armstrong]

Four dollar gas is really 358 gas by 2022 numbers. And you know, it's a pedantic thing. It's also not. I mean, no, it's not. You can't make a. You can't make a giant deal out of hitting $4 for the first time since 2022. If you're gonna use different numbers and

[Joe Getty]

you know, I don't know, maybe I'll be Picky Boy. I like the uniform. It's slimming. It's especially objectionable and pisses me off because I think people understanding what inflation is, where it comes from and what it does to you is so incredibly important to our country.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's how I convinced myself that it was worth bringing this up, even if it doesn't matter about the gas. So gas would have to hit 447 to be the same as $4 in 2022. It'll get there probably in the next week or two based on how the war is going. Probably. So it doesn't really matter that much. And the fact that we make such a big deal out of round numbers is a weird kink. Of our brains.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But everybody should be aware that if you have. The math's pretty easy on this. If you have $400,000 in your 401k, uh, it's worth what $358,000 is worth just four years ago.

[Joe Getty]

Yes. The government took $32,000 from you or, you know, whatever multiple or fraction of that is, you know, in your bank account so that they could print more money to buy votes and pay off their cronies. That's what inflationary monetary policy is. It's buying votes and patronage. It's craft.

[Jack Armstrong]

We should be very serious about keeping inflation low because of the way it just steals your money. And we should all be aware of how much money we actually have or don't have. You can't be thinking about one thing when the reality is another thing. And inflation is ticking up almost certainly with the war going on because of shipping and all various different things are going on.

[Joe Getty]

So is that perhaps the greatest blind spot in America's vision? Lack of understanding of inflation ranks right up there. I mean, I can't think of much bigger than that. The idea that socialism can work if you just do it right is certainly, you know, in your hall of fame. But, yeah, that's enough to make me crazy and. Or get up hostage.

[Jack Armstrong]

But look, it's Captain Pedantic. I don't think he's going to save us, but technically you're not a hostage.

[Joe Getty]

You're more a victim of bad bargaining posture. Look, the point is we're being oppressed over here.

[Jack Armstrong]

My work is. My work is done here and I fly off.

[Joe Getty]

All you're gonna do is correct me and leave. Help. I'm still being held. Well, captive or something.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm Captain Pedantic.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

Oh, that's funny.

[Jack Armstrong]

Happy National Workers Day.

[Joe Getty]

It's.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's normally Cesar Chavez day today, but it's National Workers Day.

[Joe Getty]

As opposed to Labor Day.

[Jack Armstrong]

Farmer Farm Workers Day. Yeah, as opposed to Labor Day, which is all Workers Day, I guess. Nobody pays me. Labor Day is hot dogs and boating. I don't know what today is.

[Joe Getty]

Today's food workers. F you. You get no day. And you know, industrial workers, you know, people working in chemical plants, teachers, truck drivers. You get zero days. Farm workers get an extra super bonus day.

[Jack Armstrong]

We should start the show officially because we got a good clip. They'll lead us into what we're going to talk about a little bit later. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. How did it already get to be the end of March the year's going by fast. The Wall Street Journal pointing out in a headline that this is the worst quarter for the stock market since 2022. That's just flat out true. No adjusting for nothing there. This is Tuesday, March 31, the year 2026, where Armstrong and Yeti and we approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at.

[Jack Armstrong]

Mark, how long have you been out here?

[Klarna Advertiser]

Over 10 years.

[Joe Getty]

10 years?

[Klarna Advertiser]

Yeah, over 10, 20 years that I.

[Jack Armstrong]

They try to offer you help?

[Joe Getty]

Yes, I've been offered housing. Why not take those resources?

[Klarna Advertiser]

I did.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's just right.

[Klarna Advertiser]

It's just not for me.

[Joe Getty]

I just always come back out to this and I just like it. Plucky little gal there living in the the bushes in Los Angeles County. If you were to count her teeth having seen the video. Don't bother putting down your coffee. If you're gonna count on your fingers, you'll just need the one hand. Oh my.

[Jack Armstrong]

Several things there. So there's the. And where was that again?

[Joe Getty]

Louisiana.

[Jack Armstrong]

Several things there. You've got the fact that all the do gooders of the world ignore how often people say they prefer to stay out there. It seems to happen a lot. Yeah, well, the reality of looking at it is that people decide that I'd rather live this lifestyle where I get to do drugs all day long and nobody tells me what to do because the going into the, you know, million dollars for a 600 square foot apartment thing usually requires you being sober. And. And then you got her saying, I've been out here 10, 20 years, 10

[Joe Getty]

I know of.

[Jack Armstrong]

She says that's a rounding error for you. A decade, 10 or 20 that I know of.

[Joe Getty]

If you don't know, who does?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know how long I've been living out here on the street either a decade or two decades. I'm not sure. I'd have to think about it for a second.

[Joe Getty]

I'm more familiar with the bums and bummettes of Northern California, but they often live in lovely places where you could not afford to buy a house, river banks, park like settings, that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Louisiana. County lost more people than any other county in the United States. Shrinking biggest county, the biggest county in the country. Did you know that? LA and shrinking though, for the first time for a variety of reasons. Maybe we'll talk about later also. There's a lot going on in there. Huh?

[Joe Getty]

Oh my gosh.

[Jack Armstrong]

Reams.

[Joe Getty]

Reams of information to sort through today.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll break down the ladies Final four that is set now and give you your odds and etc. Full team coverage of that now or three.

[Joe Getty]

My eyes have already glazed over. That was quick. No, I kid. Those plucky gals, they're gonna fight hard. They're gonna win, they're gonna go, go. They're gonna play offense, defense, they're gonna rebound, etc. I'm guessing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's fantastic. But the media's gotta quit pretending that everybody's as interested in that as they are in the men's. Oh, you try and kid, do you

[Joe Getty]

see where a secret Service Agent Garden Dr. Jill Biden shot himself in the ass?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, I had that story when a suicide attempt.

[Joe Getty]

He just couldn't take her anymore.

[Jack Armstrong]

She's not a real doctor. I'm gonna shoot myself, boy. Yeah, I had that story when it happened last week and never got around to it. That's a good story.

[Joe Getty]

Well, the report has come out now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's another black eye for the Secret Service. You should be so good with a gun that you don't very rarely like unless there's an attack going on or something like that. Shoot yourself.

[Joe Getty]

Well, shooting yourself in the hind end as you walk through the airport. He tried to holster his gun and he shot himself in the right butt cheek apparently.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lucky he's not dead.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Catch that femoral artery or something and oh boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Didn't feel good.

[Joe Getty]

No. No indeed. Yow. I wonder if he can even sit now. He might have to like, I don't know, lay on his belly.

[Jack Armstrong]

He better learn to put on his socks standing up, I'll tell you that. Because he ain't gonna sit down on that cheek. Okay, we got Katie's headlines on the way, lots to get to.

[Joe Getty]

I hope you can stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.

Ever wonder how to make hosting look effortless? Here's a secret Getting ahead of the mess with new Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep Paper Just lightly wet the counter beforehand so the paper grips and stays in place. Then lay down the Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper so drips and spills stay on the paper, not all over your kitchen counter. You can roll out dough, prep a party spread, or cook alongside family. When you're done, cleanup is as simple as lifting the paper and revealing that clean counter underneath. Effortless. You can use it for cooking and baking prep and even crafting, especially when you need extra working space. Because when the mess is already handled, you can focus on what matters the food, the people, and the moment. It may look effortless, but now you know it's Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper. Take a tip from me. Wet it it, set it, prep it, done. Make it easy. Make it with Reynolds Kitchens Countertop prep paper available now in the Reynolds Wrap aisle and Walmart.

[Jack Armstrong]

Great opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal today. I want to get to where one of the smart dudes there is arguing everybody's got to quit with the war is going great or the war is going poorly. We don't have any idea at this point.

[Joe Getty]

All right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, either one of those opinions is just based on what you want to happen.

[Joe Getty]

I saw that piece. I thought it was brilliantly written and it addressed something that's annoyed me for a long time about talk radio and the world of punditry. And we should probably be smart and join it, but we don't is that you've got to pretend to be 100% certain about everything all the time. There's no ambiguity. There's no well, it's about 70% sure this will happen. No, you've got a boldly like Dan Bongino like Bellow about precisely what's going to happen and why. And anybody who doesn't get that is stupid. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, go ahead. Have fun. A lot to get to today. Tons and tons, as we mentioned earlier. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's lead story with Katie Green.

[Katie Green]

Katie Alrighty. The major networks abc, Israel and Gulf states report new Iranian strikes, Tanker hit NBC Trump tells allies facing high fuel prices to, quote, get your own oil from the Strait of Hormuz and Ms. Now Hegseth says, quote, regime change has occurred in Iran as Trump pushes for new deal.

[Joe Getty]

Well, it's certainly changed because, you know, half of the heavyweights are dead. Yeah, certainly. Do we have time for this? Yeah. I was in a business yesterday, a fellow who imports some stuff and also gets a lot of stuff shipped domestically. And the place was really empty compared to how it usually is crowded and in a good way. And I said, hey, are you guys moving or something? What's going on? He said, no, I just the shipping costs have doubled and tripled in the last month. And so I just can't get stuff in. So, you know, some of those ripples are definitely starting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I've noticed that a few places, too. It's got a bit of a Covid look to it

[Katie Green]

from Fox News. Tiger woods ex wife concerned after DUI arrest following rollover crash reminds him that their two kids love to spend time with their dad.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Right. He is their her kid's dad.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Katie Green]

I don't get this story. Anyway, CBS Apache helicopter flyby at Kid Rock's Tennessee house prompts army investigation.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a pretty cool video if you have not seen it and it made every newscast. Kid Rock, who has apparently an unbelievable place compound standing up on that hill with this pool looking out over there. Helicopter comes up right by his pool. He waves to him, gives him a thumbs up. They fly.

[Katie Green]

I guess I don't get why.

[Joe Getty]

What the.

[Katie Green]

I mean, you would have thought this was the top story if you went through the the major news networks last

[Joe Getty]

night also favoritism or something, waste of resources, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Katie Green]

From the Washington Post, Trump plans presidential library skyscraper with two large gold statues of himself.

[Jack Armstrong]

I never even thought about his library, but he's in a different position than most presidents and he can fund it himself.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Joe Getty]

Well, he's soliciting huge donations. Sure is. I have some fairly amusing coverage of the proposed Trump library coming up later on. Stay with us.

[Katie Green]

From the Associated Press, NASA begins the countdown for humanity's first launch to the moon in 53 years.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's right. Unless you're 53 years old, there hasn't been a manned mission to the moon in your lifetime. That's something.

[Joe Getty]

It's tomorrow. Allegedly. If the weather holds out tomorrow evening.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's got something to do with the they got to launch it at just the right time because the rotation of the earth flings it up. It gives it some momentum. I didn't know that. I'm not sure how that works.

[Joe Getty]

Physics, Jack. Physics. Or something

[Katie Green]

from the New York Post. Gen Z employees can't bear the 9 to 5 grind, so they're using lunch breaks to nap or crash out in bizarre places.

[Jack Armstrong]

I napped every lunch break I ever had my whole life. I'm not gonna criticize Gen Z for this.

[Joe Getty]

Clickbait, clickbait.

[Jack Armstrong]

I ate my lunch real fast and I went and took a nap. I did that with every job I ever had where I had to be there for that period of time.

[Katie Green]

I think it's just the big deal they're making out of it. It's all over. Tick tock about places you can nap.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I've napped some pretty crazy places, including the bathroom, as I've told many, many times.

[Katie Green]

Okay, moving along. Study finds Does AI deserve to be spoken to politely?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, interesting.

[Katie Green]

That's about the percentage of people that actually use their their manners while speaking to their I do and I do.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it bothers me when my kids are rude to the grok lady. I don't know why.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

It's weird.

[Joe Getty]

I caught myself telling your girlfriend grina, right?

[Katie Green]

Don't talk to her like that. Now I caught myself telling my chat GPT that I appreciated it the other day.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I do. My pleas and the pleases and thank yous and feel like an idiot.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, my teenage boys say some rude things. I say hey, hey. She's very busy and she was kind enough to look up Selena Dion's age for us. She's a nice lady. She had other things to do.

[Joe Getty]

Oh boy.

[Katie Green]

And finally, the Babylon beat every single inning of baseball game aired on different streaming service.

[Jack Armstrong]

I like that. You'll have to go to Amazon Prime.

[Katie Green]

It's just nuts.

[Joe Getty]

It's nuts.

[Jack Armstrong]

Heard quite the argument yesterday on one of my favorite podcasts about the whole robot umpire thing. Maybe we'll have to bring that back up again. How's that going so far after almost a week of it?

[Joe Getty]

Haven't heard anybody bring it up in any context.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll look up the stats and just see how many how many times they've been overturned

[Joe Getty]

so far. And how about if it made a damn bit of difference in the game?

[Jack Armstrong]

Good point right there.

[Joe Getty]

[Jack Armstrong]

Airports around the country are returning to normal after Trump signed an emergency order to start paying TSA agents again.

[Joe Getty]

And this is fun.

[Jack Armstrong]

TSA agents celebrated by drinking 3.4 ounces of champagne. Oh, I get it. I'm flying next weekend. I hope it's all cleared out by then. I don't want to deal with the message.

[Joe Getty]

Apparently it's vastly better in some of the big airports that were featured on your newscasts as they were experiencing a high rate of people saying, if you're not paying me, I'm not showing up. This is perfectly reasonable.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll get into a little of the latest on the war in our two including Jon Stewart on the Daily show last night wondering why the media doesn't take this war more seriously. And I agree he and I have very different views on the war, but I don't get why it's not taken more seriously either.

[Joe Getty]

And there's part of me that does want to dig into the whole Homeland Security funding fracas, the partial government shutdown, what both parties are doing. But you can bottom line it. Just terrible dysfunction, just utterly dysfunctional government on both sides, which is a little discouraging. Quick word from the world of science here, good friend of the Armstrong and Getty show talking about the what you were discussing launching toward the moon. How we've got to wait till a particular, you know, moment in the orbit.

[Jack Armstrong]

The rotation of the Earth flings the rocket and helps it speed out of the atmosphere. Which is wild to me.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly. Yeah. As my old friend Mike says, tell Jack to imagine a marble in a funnel and how it seems as it gets closer to the drain whip around faster and faster. That's the slingshot effect and that's how it works. It's a gravity thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

I get that. It's just since we don't feel it, you know, walking around the Earth.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's surprising to me that it makes that much difference. But obviously it does.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it's. It's practically incomprehensible. I remember hearing this as a kid, but that essentially the surface of the earth is moving at something like 10,000 miles per hour. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really fast.

[Joe Getty]

Everything's moving at the same speed so you don't perceive the movements. Like being on an airplane.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank God I have motion sickness constantly.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah. Oh please. So more from the world of science and or medicine. I love how the media is presenting this as well. I'll read the headline from the Usually much more reasonable Wall Street Journal than a lot of the lame stream media. Heart association clashes with RFK Jr over red meat, Dairy and Beef Tallow okay. It is a contrast with the recently issued quite different than we're used to government guidelines on what to eat. But for what it's worth, the AMA recommends getting protein plants. Do you enjoy a good lentil Jack? You should be eating more lentils rather than meat and avoiding full fat dairy. Which is interesting because I eat full fat Greek yogurt. Blah blah blah. New guidance from the American Heart association advises getting protein from plants rather than meat, using low fat or fat free dairy and using olive soybean, canola oils instead of beef tallow and butter. Contrasting with Trump administration guidelines, the AHA counts 30,000 scientific, medical and healthcare professionals and bong blah blah blah. Mostly unchanged from the guidelines that released in 2021. And to their credit everybody's saying, well look, don't focus on the conflict. Look at the commonalities. Avoid saturated fat, cut down on your sugar. Don't eat processed foods. Eat limited refined grains and added sugar. That's the key. Pay attention to that. So I think they're right but some of the most delicious stuff on earth sliced ham, bacon, sausage, the worst thing

[Jack Armstrong]

you could eat and I'm going to keep even it. That's just where heard this the other day and it's true. Probably true if you have and I forget what they said but it was something like this. If you have more than one delicious meal a week, your diet isn't correct. The idea that you should not a delicious meal is by definition not healthy. Unless you're one of those weirdos that you've trained your brain to get really excited about eating. Lettuce but for most of us, you

[Joe Getty]

know, I'd like to punch them right in their gaunt face.

[Jack Armstrong]

Salty, fatty, whatever. Sugary is what we find delicious. And if you're, if you eat, if you have that very, very often, you

[Joe Getty]

think, oh, that was delicious.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's ain't good.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Most your meals should be just. And I do this a lot. I have a lot of meals that are just. They're so mad. I mean, they're beyond me. They're just fuel to get me through the next several hours. There was no enjoyment in it whatsoever. Yes. Katie,

[Katie Green]

I don't like this at all.

[Joe Getty]

I don't either. I buy it.

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't buy. You don't agree?

[Katie Green]

No, no, because I mean I, I make like salmon and bell peppers and stuff for dinner regularly and I think

[Joe Getty]

it's, it tastes great.

[Katie Green]

I don't understand how. I mean, you're supposed to just be like, eh.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, wow. Yeah, that's. You can actually eat some really yummy healthy stuff. Yeah, I see their point.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think most of the time it's probably true. True.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I think when the vast majority of us think a delicious meal. Katie. Wow, that was fantastic. We're not thinking of salmon and bell peppers.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, kudos to you. Fatty, greasy, salty, and then a sugary dessert.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, so Judy and I were out kicking around yesterday, hitting various like consignment stores and resale shops and stuff I

[Jack Armstrong]

was looking for while you're down to selling your clothes.

[Joe Getty]

Well, Alma, plasma's gone. I just got the one kidney, so. No, you're actually, I got, I got my new bookshelf. Bookshelves in my man cave and they're all like open ended. They're mounted on the wall and so I'm looking for antique bookends and I'm finding some really fun, cool stuff. But so we were kicking around and then we drive by this microbrew place and she's like, I didn't know that was there.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'm like, yeah, beer sounds kind of good, huh?

[Joe Getty]

So we stop and we have a couple of beers late in the afternoon. Here's what we had for dinner. We decided this was a good idea, recreating one of our favorite meals slash appetizers from our favorite barbecue place way up in the mountains in California. A bed of tater tots covered with cheese, covered with smoked pulled pork and then barbecue sauce and sour cream.

[Jack Armstrong]

What do they call that?

[Bobby Bones]

I think they.

[Joe Getty]

This, this is the. I think they called it dirty fries.

[Jack Armstrong]

Heaven is what they called. Yes. Heaven. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, heaven.

[Jack Armstrong]

And.

[Joe Getty]

Or you'll be in heaven soon if

[Jack Armstrong]

you keep eating like this.

[Joe Getty]

But that is, that's. I was picturing that as we were discussing the delicious meal that you probably shouldn't eat. Holy cow.

[Jack Armstrong]

How many, Here's a good question. How many years, if you could, like, if you could calibrate it this closely, how many years would you be able to be willing to shave off the back end to eat more delicious meals and worry about it less?

[Joe Getty]

Well, I wonder what that number would

[Jack Armstrong]

be for most people.

[Joe Getty]

Well, the problem with that question is if you ask a 20 year old, they'll have a very different answer than a 50 year old and sure as hell a different answer than an 84 year old.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wonder. I might have to ask my parents. I don't know that that's true. Definitely the 2050. Because I got some teenagers who think there's no point in being alive when you're 30, which is hilarious.

[Joe Getty]

You're all used up.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's hilarious. How could you possibly have any fun after 30?

[Katie Green]

You're basically dead at that, so.

[Jack Armstrong]

And yeah, the 50 versus 75, sure. But I don't know, I don't know. I'll have to ask some more older people I know. Would you, would you go back through your life and have eaten all the salads if you could add, I don't know, three more light years to your

[Joe Getty]

life and to each their own. But never touched alcohol, you know, never had any of the epicurean pleasures, I mean. Well, I've made my decision.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wonder what most people would say. I think most people would trade in several years, wouldn't they?

[Joe Getty]

A couple. Couple, two, three, maybe. I don't think anybody'd say 10.

[Jack Armstrong]

No. I think five might be the sweet spot though.

[Joe Getty]

But then we get to the incredibly important and incredibly depressing question of how's my health going to be in those final years? I mean, if it's gonna be like barely hanging on. Yeah. Wow, I'm checking out. That's fine.

[Jack Armstrong]

That facial, that's the, that's the take me now facial expression, I guess.

[Joe Getty]

Well, with the thumb

[Jack Armstrong]

give you the hook.

[Joe Getty]

Right. But you know, if I'd be an inspiration to my children and grandchildren and breaking new ground and setting Sprint records as an 85 year old or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe I don't want to solo rock climbing.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly. You know how I love that, then probably I don't want to trade that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

All right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Moving along,

[Joe Getty]

President Trump has released a mockup of images of quite an impressive video of his Intended presidential library.

[Jack Armstrong]

God, he's the world's greatest troll. He knows how that drives all the media just nuts, right?

[Joe Getty]

It is an enormous gleaming glass tower emblazoned with his last name. A red, white and blue spire sits atop the multi story tower. The library is set to feature golden escalators, at least one golden statue of the President raising his fist in the air, and several aircraft, including what appears to be one of the Air Force's one kid.

[Jack Armstrong]

Rock music blasts through speakers on every floor and an animated Chuck Norris greets you at the door.

[Joe Getty]

Now, Trump and his advisors aim to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the library fund. You can donate, certainly go to his website.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna donate money. Library. Good Lord. And I mean for anybody, not for Trump.

[Joe Getty]

Whatever. The location in Miami is 2.6 acres valued at $67 million. It was transferred from Miami Dade College to the state of Florida last year and then to Trump's Library Foundation. Florida Governor DeSantis, other state Republicans advocated for the project, arguing it would draw tourism and be a cultural asset. There's some controversy because it would be right next to this big 289 foot Freedom Tower commemorating all of the Cubans who've come to the United States for freedom. A small number of Miami voters are against that location. Tower. Tower, Jack, it's 74% are against, and about a quarter of Republicans, 59%, are against it too.

[Jack Armstrong]

When do you get your presidential library built like Obama's isn't built yet? I don't think it's well underway.

[Joe Getty]

It's ugly as hell. Hell, it's terrible and way, way over budget, as you might expect. It's this big, ugly, nasty, concrete block looking thing. It's like the brutalist architecture almost right in the middle of a park in Chicago. Biden's gonna have like a shelf at his local library because nobody wants to donate to that. Look, you're a miserable, senile failure as a president. Here's five bucks. All right, now leave me alone.

[Jack Armstrong]

Next to the section for people who still check out CDs at the library, right?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, the Joe Biden memorial shelf. That's gonna be his presidential library. You made it rhyme louder and it's

[Jack Armstrong]

rhyme in a long time. There you go.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I got a leadership.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got a little more later. On the whole, the whole kingliness of presidents and the way we look at it and why it's so terrible.

[Joe Getty]

Amen to that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if we're ever gonna break out of it anyway. We got email on the way. We'll talk a little Iran and what the latest is Iran hit a fully loaded oil tanker in Kuwait yesterday, keeping all those oil tankers too scared to try to go through the straight of Hormuz, which is one of their points of leverage. Anyway, we got a lot on the way.

[Joe Getty]

Stay here. Armstrong and Getty

[Jack Armstrong]

I was a fornicator. Wow, says Jaden Ivy of the NBA. Then he found God. Did those Instagram comments get him booted off the team? He's saying, being religious and Believing in God and Jesus is not cool in the NBA, but he had be an anti American is cool in the NBA. So maybe we'll get into that topic in our two of the Armstrong and Getty Show.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, I thought that was your personal confession right there. I almost shouted I'm a serial shoplifter. But thank God I here's your freedom

[Jack Armstrong]

loving quote of the day sent along

[Joe Getty]

by Cammy in beautiful Pleasanton, California. It's right there in the name Pleasant. Guys, big fan of your wit, level headedness and love the possibility of devoting a segment a week to celebrating America, especially as our quarter of a millennium anniversary is coming up. In that spirit, here's a freedom loving quote from the inscription on the monument of William Bradford of the Mayflower, also the first governor of Plymouth Colony. And she helpfully includes the original Latin in which he said it in. And I'm tempted to just say it in Latin and then pause because I love when people do that and they make you say, I don't know what that means so that they can fully establish that they're better than you.

[Jack Armstrong]

God, when they put it in books and then don't give the translations like, all right, is that a flex or what?

[Joe Getty]

Or another magazine article. Yeah, yeah, now, all right, what does that mean? I don't speak French. Anyway, here's the translation. What our forefathers, with so much difficulty secured, do not basely relinquish.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what we're doing. Basically relinquishing.

[Joe Getty]

We are. We are indeed. Cut it out, mailbag. The Jess hillbilly Jess writes on the topic of the hyena laughing at the guy's dad. Jokes, right? She says, as much as I want this to be real, sorry, it is full on AI.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Took me a couple of minutes, but it felt off. Then I noticed the telltale glitches.

[Jack Armstrong]

What are we supposed to do going forward as a human species? Just, I think I just got to enjoy everything I see and assume it's real or. I don't know, I don't know what you're supposed to do. Can't do a homework assignment on everything you see.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, you're right, Jess. That was the. That was the first time I think I was ever caught completely unaware. And I feel like an idiot.

[Jack Armstrong]

But I never saw the video.

[Joe Getty]

But yeah, I saw it on a small screen. So the. I guess the teeth were glitching or something, but I don't know. Let's see. And on that topic, Patrick from Washington State. Hello. Jack, Joe, Katie, Michelangelo. I will Just cut to the chase. What happened to the dad jokes before Katie's headlines? They were so great. And the most excellent relief from the most depressing podcast ever.

[Jack Armstrong]

God, we. We really are. We got to work on that.

[Joe Getty]

If you need one, I've got one for you. Hey, do you hear about the guy whose whole left side got cut off? Well, he's all right now. Hey, the word right is you got a double. Anyway, let's see. Moving along. Tj, A partial solution to Tiger woods drunk speeding. Well, he's pilled up. Probably not drunk, but.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, because he willingly took the breathalyzer. No, no, no, no. You're not taking a blood sample, though he said.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, okay. Oh, you almost fooled us, Tiger. New legislation and court rulings, particularly in Virginia, are introducing the use of speed limiting devices, often referred to as intelligent speed assistance or or speed butlers, to illegally restrict the vehicle of reckless drivers and how fast they can go.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I think that's coming maybe 30

[Joe Getty]

miles per hour tops.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think that's coming to every vehicle before you know it. Yeah, I wonder based on the speed limit where you are.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well. And Tiger would just find a way to get around it. You've got to put him in the stripey hole to get his attention. There's no monetary fine that will get a billionaire's attention. So really, speaking of money, Paolo writes, you guys are talking about reading a story about the wealthiest 5%. How wealthy you have to be to be wealthy in each individual state. They were wealthy. All right. But the story, and many like it, focus on the wrong thing. Income. What really is important is a person's assets, their net worth. One can be incredibly wealthy, yet have relatively little in the way of salary driven income.

[Jack Armstrong]

Absolutely.

[Joe Getty]

Their wealth grows much faster than via traditional salary based income. That's absolutely true.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I was going to bring that up, but I didn't want to be Captain Pedantic again. But yeah, right. The net worth's way more important to whether or not you're wealthy than your annual salary because also. Because it also factors in spending your net worth.

[Joe Getty]

You could have pretty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Damn. You have a really good salary. But if you spend like crazy, you won't have much money.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Their assets grow in value, generating unrealized capital gains, not ordinary income, etc. That's absolutely true. Didn't want to over complicate it. Let's see. Don't have time for that. The Tigers. I'm sorry, not the Tigers. I was thinking of Tiger Woods. The Dodgers are not a World Series lock writes Paolo. Baseball is a game with a lot of random factors. Round, ball round, bad unpredictability. Of the major league teams with the 10 highest regular season winning percentages, only 5 won the world Series. A lot of uncertainty, et cetera. That's the point. You're missing the point, Paolo. With all of that being true, if the Dodgers win three in a row, then it's going to be so utterly, clearly untenable going forward because of all those factors. Something's got to be done.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's going to be fun to watch. Or horrible to watch, depending on which side you are of it. We got a lot more on the we're going to talk around an hour or two.
