Episode Overview

This episode takes a classic Armstrong & Getty approach, blending headline commentary, news analysis, satire, and parenting anxiety. Though titled "The Mystery of the Flavored Vapes," the episode covers a range of contemporary controversies: the legality and targeting of flavored vapes for youth, the fairness debate around transgender athletes in girls’ sports, the latest news on the Iran nuclear deal, the rapid rise of AI-generated political ads, and – with characteristic digressions – fried chicken rankings. The tone remains sardonic, skeptical, and often self-deprecating, with the duo pulling no punches on politicians or pop culture.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Transgender Athletes and Fairness in Sports

Timestamps: 03:40–15:26

• Introduction: The hosts revisit heated debates about biological males competing in women’s sports, citing recent examples – e.g., the University of Washington women’s soccer team losing to U14 boys, and a transgender teen athlete setting girls’ track records in California.

• Arguments Presented:

  • Biological differences matter in competitive sports.
  • The media and some activists ignore clear physical advantages.
  • Even top female athletes (e.g., Serena Williams) have admitted they wouldn’t stand a chance against top male counterparts.

• Quote (Jack, 06:46):

  “If you're still banging the drum that men and women on the whole are equal when it comes to competitive sports, then your head is so far buried in the sand it's going to take a backhoe to get you out.”

• Governor Newsom & Political Responses:

  • Hosts mock Newsom’s vague and evasive statements about fairness and “standing with all kids.”
  • They criticize politicians’ refusal to take definitive stances, lampooning equivocal statements as political BS.

• Quote (Joe, 13:33):

  “Easy. Look, I. I think we agree this is an issue of fairness and we should stand with the children.”

• Underlying Point: The debate is emblematic of current ideological divides and the political tightrope officials walk on cultural issues.

2. The Allure (and Dangers) of Flavored Vapes and Legal Highs

Timestamps: 19:04–23:39

• FDA News:

  • The FDA has authorized fruit-flavored vapes for adult use, with flavors like mango and blueberry discussed somewhat mockingly.

• Concerns Raised:

  • Flavored vapes target young consumers, making vaping and nicotine addiction more likely among teens.
  • Vapes are difficult for parents and teachers to spot, often resembling thumb drives.

• Societal Implications:

  • Hosts question why flavored vapes are allowed when candy cigarettes were once banned for encouraging smoking among kids.
  • The show links vaping to an easy transition to marijuana use and discusses the broader trend of addictive products being marketed to teenagers.

• Kratom (Gas Station Heroin):

  • Joe describes a friend’s tragic experience: a straight-laced young adult progressing from legal kratom products to full-blown opioid addiction.
  • Hosts question why such addictive substances remain legal and easily available at convenience stores.

• Quote (Joe, 22:58):

  “Why are we selling this at the Circle K? ... You might live right down the street, the convenience store is selling this thing that you do not want your kid using.”

---

3. The AI Revolution in Politics

Timestamps: 37:18–41:23

• AI-Generated Campaign Ads:

  • Discussion centered on a viral, hyper-realistic political ad for LA's mayoral race, produced by an AI filmmaker.
  • Hosts note the profound implications: campaign fundraising for ads may become obsolete when anyone can create Hollywood-level ads for free, instantly.

• Quote (Joe, 39:37):

  “Every single human in America could make a great ad if they want to. Holy crap.”

• Consequences:

  • The cost (and value) of traditional campaign advertising is set to plummet.
  • The hosts marvel and worry: what does this do to democracy, electioneering, and truth in media?

4. The Iran Nuclear Deal – New Developments and Skepticism

Timestamps: 31:05–36:36

  • 20-year ban on enrichment.
  • Hand-over of all enriched nuclear material.
  • Attestation not to seek nuclear weapons.
  • Dismantlement of several facilities and on-demand inspections.
  • “Concrete steps” are required before Iran receives concessions.

• Host Skepticism:

  • The hosts doubt Iran will agree to such strict terms.
  • They stress that any talk of this being a definitive “win” or “loss” is, at best, premature.

• Quote (Jack, 33:14):

  “This is a regime whose entire playbook is come to a preliminary agreement, then cheat the moment the ink is dry.”

• Broader Context:

  • The Iran deal and global security should top the news, but fluffy stories (e.g., a moose rescue) often displace them.

• Quote (Joe, 41:04):

  “You think that should have been the lead story?... Iran, maybe AI, but no, the lead story is an ice-stuck moose.”

---

5. AI, Social Media Algorithms, and Attention Spans

Timestamps: 26:59–29:59

• Confessions About Tech Addiction:

  • Hosts discuss how hard it is to resist YouTube and Instagram algorithms and how they eat into productive time.
  • Jack avoids TikTok because he knows its “algorithm is infinitely better.”

• Quote (Jack, 28:43):

  “You know, it's funny, this just dawned on me listening to you talk and it took me a while to get here, but if... When I hear that description of how good TikTok's algorithms are, I think, nope, not going there. My greatest strength is I know how weak I am.”

6. Parenting, Generational Gripes, and Fast Food Banter

Timestamps: 23:28–24:54, 45:20–48:47

broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio

[Jack Armstrong]

at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty. Here's Armstrong and Yeti.

[Joe Getty]

Does anybody actually know what's in the 14 point plan? The Iranian deal?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

The Wall Street Journal claims they've got the info and if it's as described by them, seems like a hell of a win for us. I'm not gonna say for the Trump administration. Let's not pretend it's all about Trump. It's the United States trying to stop Iran from beating a nuclear weapon. Anyway, we'll run down what the Wall Street Journal says is in the deal. Of course, Iran hasn't agreed to it

[Jack Armstrong]

yet, so wow, that's a minor detail. I wouldn't sweat that. So not long ago we were discussing how we sane people really need to start standing up for what always struck us as common sense. Freedom is great, you know. America is the land of opportunity. Free speech is important, even if you don't like the speech. Men are men, women are women. Everyone has rights. We're equal, but we're not the same. That sort of thing. Because kids especially have been dragged away from the very most basic understandings of reality by ideology. Human beings are a funny bunch. Since I was a child, I've been skeptical of everything, but I've finally had to accept that a lot of people are more Easily convinced. And that doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them people. But anyway, so I wanted to point this out to you about boys playing in girls sports. The argument that men belong in women's sports took another blow last week. The University of Washington women's soccer team, which made it to the elite eight of women's college soccer Division one powerhouse team of full grown college women played an under 14 boys soccer team and lost to them. In fact, it wasn't even close. I think it was five to two and they were playing hard. And I actually like this piece. Who is it written by? It's somebody who understands sports and soccer and women's soccer. The Huskies decide to schedule this game intentionally practicing against men obviously makes the games games against other women's teams seem easy. It's like setting a pitching machine to 100 miles per hour when you know the pitcher you're set to face tops out at 90. And they point out if you're shocked by this result, you're either way too far down that rabbit hole of trans indoctrination and gender equality in sports, quote unquote, or you just haven't been paying attention because even more egregious results have happened. You may recall a U15 Dallas boys team. U15 means you can only be 14 years old on it. You got to be under 15. Absolutely. Pummeled the US women's national team by a score of five to two several years ago. It was 2017. I remember when it happened though. And they were fresh off winning the World cup two years prior.

[Joe Getty]

And I guarantee you they were trying hard because they didn't want to be beaten by children.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, yeah. The women's. The Swiss women's national team lost to U15 boys by a score of 7 to 1. There are all sorts of cases like that. And they write if you're still banging the drum that men and women on the whole are equal when it comes to competitive sports, then your head is so far buried in the sand it's going to take a backhoe to get you out. Which is a pretty good line.

[Joe Getty]

Well, we've talked about this many times, but I feel like Serena Williams when she came out and said, no, I, I'd lose 6060 to the, the men's players.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh no, she said, I think the number. She mentioned a specific person who was number 80 in the world or something like that. She said I'd lose 6060 to him. Yeah, I've coached the same age of boys and girls soccer is this. You know what, it's funny. I just said you've got to make these points. It seems ridiculous, but we've got to start making them. I coached young men and young women in soccer at the same age, and the men's game was so much faster and more violent than the women's. And not like violent cheating, like just energy and energy meeting and colliding. There's just no comparison.

[Joe Getty]

Well, how about the fact that there's never been a WNBA player or a woman? Because there's the wnba, which won't allow men to play. But I'm pretty sure the NBA is not sex specific. They'd be perfectly happy to have a woman if there was a, you know, Michael Jordan of the WNBA that was good enough to play on an NBA team.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you imagine the positive publicity they'd get?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah. But there's never been one player, which is not a knock on women at all. It's just we're.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, of course not. Yeah. I love girls sports and women's sports. I think it's a wonderful thing. I'm just not an ideological lunatic. So we mentioned the story the other day. A transgender teen in California beat his own sister in girls sports in the 400 meter race. Race plus was part of the winning. I'm not sure if they made a set of record, but a winning relay team for the 400 and earlier this year at the state meets that one Southern California fella who puts on makeup and long hair and then competes against girls and beats the hell out of them. Won like three gold medals and set several records. And so here's your headline. Newsom office source responds to planned protest against trans athlete at the state playoff girls track meet. There are girls sports activists, including, interestingly, a former NCAA women's soccer player, Sophia Laurie, who are going to hold a protest at the site of the California Interscholastic Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries on Saturday. They're part of the saved girls sports activists. And before we get to what Gavin's office said, here, he was talking to Charl Kirk, who you may recall had his throat shut shot out for advocating what he believed in by progressives. Here's what Gavin said about this topic.

[Jacob Goldstein]

So, like, you right now should come out and be like, you know what? The young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that's. That. That shouldn't happen. You as the governor should step out, say, no, no.

[Joe Getty]

And I appreciate.

[Jacob Goldstein]

But like, would you do something like that? Would you say no men in female sports.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I think it's an issue of fairness.

[Jack Armstrong]

I completely agree with you on that. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that.

[Joe Getty]

There's also a humility and a grace that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way that people talk down

[Jack Armstrong]

to vulnerable communities is an issue that

[Joe Getty]

I have a hard time with as well.

[Jack Armstrong]

So both things I can hold in my hand.

[Joe Getty]

How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think

[Jack Armstrong]

is inherent in you but not always expressed?

[Joe Getty]

I still don't know the answer to this question. Did Gavin Newsom say that that way because he's a horrible communicator or because he's an excellent communicator? Oh, yeah, exactly what you just said. I mean, it's an issue of fairness. What does that mean? Agree with me or don't agree with me? I still don't know. I still don't know what he meant by that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then he backtracked on that. But. So I guess Trump truthed out about this and called out Gavin Newsom for his state's continued policies that allow biolog males to compete in girls sports. California also just passed a law that made sure that confused and gay youth could continue to be mutilated by sex change procedures. We'll talk about that another time, but. So Fox News Digital asked Newsom's press office for a response to the upcoming protest and competition involving the trans athlete. And his press office, to their credit, does a good job of channeling the voice of the governor because it was the same mushed mouth leaning on that silly trope about. Well, I'll read it to you. The governor has said discussions on this issue should be guided by fairness, dignity and respect. He rejects the right wing cynical attempt to weaponize this debate as an excuse to vilify individual kids. The governor's position is simple. Stand with all kids and stand up to bullies.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, so now I guess I have the answer. He is an excellent communicator. I mean, because that was. That was good. You would have had to give me 15, 20 minutes of how to write out and then rehearse my answer to where I could sound like to some people that I was agreeing with Charlie Kirk.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

While I wasn't. Because, I mean, that was very deft.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. And I agree with you. It was. They know what they're doing. They know what they're defending is indefensible, but they can't be seen as not

[Joe Getty]

defending you haven't answered the question yet. Do. Do get to run against girls? Look, it's. It's a matter of fairness.

[Jack Armstrong]

For who?

[Joe Getty]

So the girls in Drac or for trans people? Which side are we on here? You haven't said yet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Governor's office, I'm talking to you right now. We are broadcasting from the very city in which you serve the public. Anyway, I am the right wing here. I am Respond to this argument. Because boys and men are physically superior in multiple ways to girls and women, males should not be allowed to compete in women's sports. I have nothing but sympathy and love for confused adolescents who aren't sure about their sex or their identity or their puberty. Nothing but compassion for them. Nonetheless, men and boys may not compete in women's and girls sports. Now respond to that actual argument.

[Joe Getty]

Easy. Look, I. I think we agree this is an issue of fairness and we should stand with the children.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the grace of God.

[Joe Getty]

Stand with which children? What. What are you saying?

[Jack Armstrong]

For the grace of God? How about the girls who are getting their asses kicked? Gabby, do you stand with them?

[Joe Getty]

Are you standing with the person with a penis who says they're a girl? Or are you standing with the girls with vaginas who don't want to run against him?

[Jack Armstrong]

Which.

[Joe Getty]

Which kids are you standing with? You can't stand with all of them at the same time. On this particular issue.

[Jack Armstrong]

No vilifying, no talking down, no targeting individual kids. None of that. Respond to that argument.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, so I.

[Jack Armstrong]

So they won't.

[Joe Getty]

I think then, based on that response from his office, then that was very, very clever communication to be. To be on the fly, to be able to answer it that way, to leave it up in the air like that, I mean.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, it's absolutely a question of fairness, and I think we all care about fairness and we want to make sure every kid has the right to, you know, express themselves and live the life that they dream of. He got a bs. A BS Er.

[Joe Getty]

He got hammered by the. The woke left, though, because it wasn't clear cut enough of just flat out stating trans women are women.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I happen to be wearing the old school Armstrong and Getty hot dogs, our dogs T shirt. Right now. I. I kind of prefer the newer one, but the black is slimming and I've got this one in black, so that's what I'm wearing.

[Joe Getty]

You're wearing the black T shirt because it's slimming, correct?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, the hot dogs are funny in the new design at Armstrong&Yeti.com the Angie Superstore. But yeah, the black is slimming.

[Joe Getty]

So we'll get to what the actual points of contention are in the peace plan given to Iran according to the Wall Street Journal. Sounds like a win for us if they agree to it. Of course, they might not agree to it. In fact, they probably won't agree to it. And we got other stuff to talk about too. Stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

first time, the FDA authorized fruit flavored vapes for adults. This is fantastic news for your sister's boyfriend. The duly approved flavors include menthol, mango and blueberry.

[Joe Getty]

That's gonna lead to some awkward checkups eventually.

[Jack Armstrong]

Mr. Johnson.

[Joe Getty]

We had the tumor biopsied, I'm afraid. I'm afraid it's oops.

[Jack Armstrong]

All berries. Wow, that's a dark joke.

[Joe Getty]

I. I haven't talked about Kratom on the air, have I? The gas station heroin?

[Jack Armstrong]

Not for a while.

[Joe Getty]

I'll do it here. So I know some people that like have some real conspiracy stuff about the government being behind this or whatever. I don't think that's probably true. But who is behind the flavored vapes? Obviously designed to get young people, including kids, vaping something. And then once you're vaping anything, it can be highly addictive nicotine products that you make a lot of money off of. Or weed. The whole weed industry. If you're. If you're vaping nicotine, the the switch to vaping weed is nothing. I mean, because it's floating around. I have learned every high school in America because they're so tiny, they have no smell, they're cheap. It's just, it's everywhere. It's legal in so many states. It's just everywhere.

[Jack Armstrong]

And you can use the same device to do nicotine. Vapes.

[Joe Getty]

I didn't even know what they looked like until recently. Look like? I mean, I don't know how old you are as a parent, but I, I don't know anything about vapes because I never have been around them. They look like a thumb drive or something. You could see it on your kid's desk and you wouldn't even know what it is, let alone smell it. I mean, so it's just. So who's behind the flavored stuff to get people going as young as possible? I don't quite know that. I don't know if there's a conspiracy there, if it's just, you know, the people selling it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? I mean, is there more to the question than the people selling it are,

[Joe Getty]

well, why do we allow it? They don't. They outlawed candy cigarettes because they didn't want to. You know, kids getting hooked on the idea of cigarettes. So why is flavored vapes okay, which is clearly sending people down the road of vaping nicotine and, or, and, or weed?

[Jack Armstrong]

Probably because the state of California is completely corrupt in the federal government. The Senate ages 140 years old to something even worse.

[Joe Getty]

This Kratom or Kratom K R a T O M. There are two different things called gas station heroin that people throw around a lot. I think we took, talked about the Tiana patine one. Anyway, the reason this Kratom one is on my radar is because I've got a friend who's just fresh out of college, straight laced, got a great job, got great grades, got a big degree. Kid is now in rehab for like the fourth time in a row as a full on opioid addict. Starting with the kratom products you can buy at the convenience store to help you stay up to, to study or whatever. And it's at the convenience store, it's seven. Oh. If you hear young people talking about seven. Oh, but there's opms, Black pirates, booty hydroxy, different things. They're at the convenience store, they're like right next to the cigarette lighters and the vapes and the energy drinks, the little things of a B12 shot or whatever the young people buy for energy. So it's A low dose of this opioid like plant, but it. You get you and it works on you. It gives you a little feel, high or boost or depending on your physiology, what it does to you, but you become accustomed to it real quick and you want more of it. Highly addictive, and you want more of it. And then your friend who's getting you weed, vapes, or whatever else, you know, your intro to that world can get you the next level up on this.

[Ad Host]

And.

[Joe Getty]

And this particular friend of mine, his son ended up fully hooked on a hardcore opioid. Step by step by step, from this gas station stuff, he's like, really looking into why is this legal? Why are we selling this at the Circle K? A lot of states, counties and cities have banned it across America. But why are we so slow to catch on? If just letting you know, I don't know where you live, but you might live right down the street, the convenience store is selling this thing that you do not want your kid using.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow, parenting is hard nowadays.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, it's destroyed his family. Not completely yet, but I mean, it's close to, you know, crossing over into the line where there's no coming back.

[Jack Armstrong]

Stressed it for sure.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. Horrifying. Anyway, we'll talk a little war with Iran, among other things on the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Radhi Deblokia]

This is Radhi Jablukia from a really good cry. I absolutely love getting outside, whether it's a quick walk or a mindful few steps between meetings or even a longer run to just clear my head. But the one thing that can really ruin that for me is shoes that just don't feel right. That's why I started wearing Ultra running with the Ultra fit. Every step feels comfortable, balanced, and strong. Like my feet can finally move freely. What really stood out to me was the roomy toe box. My toes actually now have room to spread out, which makes movement feel more natural and comfortable. And when your feet aren't cramped, you feel more balanced. Like every step has a strong, stable foundation. I've noticed that with extra space, my foot muscles get to work building strength so I can actually move with more confidence. Altra fits and moves with you, no matter your pace or your goals. Beginner or marathon runner, they've really become my go to for any kind of running or training. And I always feel like my feet can do exactly what they're meant to do. Feel the difference by visiting. Visiting altrarunning.com and use my code CRY. 10 for 10 off. That's Altra A L T R-A running.com experience ultra and stay out there.

I'll tell you

[Joe Getty]

a thread or a rabbit hole I can get sucked into really easy. Jesus. Endless rabbit holes I can get sucked into easily online like my YouTube feed. I just. I just can't look at it because the algorithm's too good. I can't imagine what Tick Tock's like because everybody says the Tick Tock algorithm is. Is infinitely better than all the other algorithms at knowing what you like and feeding you stuff. I'm glad I've never had Tick Tock because I can barely resist the Instagram and YouTube algorithms. For instance, I'm on YouTube. I open up the other night. Here's a just found rare practice session of the who from 1974. Practicing a song. And it was freaking awesome. And I logged a fair amount of time. Did I need more of that in my life? Did I need to spend 15 minutes doing that rather than reading or sleeping or whatever? No, but. And it was. But it was awesome. The problem is, is I guess I mentioned this the other day. It's no longer a. There's nothing good on, like, used to be the problem. There are lots of really, really good things on, like, top notch. I love it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Quality, custom designed for you.

[Joe Getty]

It's just the. Whatever that term is in economics, you know, there's a limited amount of time for your life. Cost benefit analysis, I guess. But it's just that it's not like the old days of switching through the channels and killing time. It's just, God, I got 80 channels and there's nothing on. Every channel has great stuff on, like my favorite stuff in the world. I just have to do other things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's funny, this just dawned on me listening to you talk and it took me a while to get here, but if. When I hear that description of how good Tick Tock's algorithms are, I think, nope, not going there. My greatest strength is I know how weak I am.

[Joe Getty]

I'm better at with, like, potato chips. I know if I eat a potato chip, I'm gonna eat the half the bag. So I don't eat the first potato chip. I. Yeah, I'm not good at that. With the YouTube, I think that. Oh, just discovered practice session of the who. I'll just watch that, then I'll turn it off.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, as a musician, you could easily just. Wow. What process does one of the great bands of all time use to refine a song? Blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh. I tweeted this yesterday and I think I could get a near unanimous vote on this. You know me, Joe Getty, I cherish the First Amendment, except the government needs to outlaw. If you feed me a car chase video and it's five minutes long and there's no resolution, you should go to jail and be banned from the Internet. I gotta see a bust, I gotta see a wreck. I gotta see a guy run across a field and get bit by a dog. You gotta give me a resolution.

[Joe Getty]

Bastards. Oh. The reason I started on this rabbit hole thing and maybe I'll do this for the One More Thing podcast is every once in a while I check in on the thread on Reddit, the anti work thread on Reddit, to see what the loser Gen Z Millennial socialist. What? Whoever you are, that is against work and the various comments you have. And maybe I'll get into some of those in the One More Thing podcast.

[Jack Armstrong]

Perfect.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. But God, this one picture, it was a picture of somebody being sad. It doesn't matter. But over it was when you realize that on your way home from work that all you have time for is to eat, go to bed and get up and do it again.

[Jack Armstrong]

Huh?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Welcome to life.

[Jack Armstrong]

Since a million years ago and less

[Joe Getty]

now than ever before.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

God dang it. What is wrong with you people? Anywho.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Unrealistic expectations. That's what's wrong with them. Correct.

[Joe Getty]

So I wanted to hit you with this. If you're following the war in Iran at all, you've probably heard that there is a 14 point deal floating around that that we have presented to the Iranians. And then some Iranians say, yeah, we're really interested in it. We're sending our response to Pakistan. Some other Iranians are saying this is a wish list and you're never going to get it.

[Jack Armstrong]

But what's the party of the first part? Shall be known as the party of the first part. I don't like that part. You don't know it. Google it.

[Joe Getty]

So yesterday, last night, senior US officials told the Wall Street Journal editorial board what the actual plan is. The demands that we're asking for. 20 year total enrichment ban. You don't get to enrich at all for 20 years. Hand over all already enriched material. You need to attest that you won't seek a nuclear weapon. At least make them say out loud and sign it on a piece of paper. Even though you're not going to know they're going to lie. You need to dismantle for now, Natanz and Isfahan. Those are the three known nuclear reactor sites. Ban on underground nuclear work on demand. Inspections and penalties for violations.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now we're talking.

[Joe Getty]

So we get to show up and inspect stuff whenever the heck we want? Yes. The US is demanding a handover of all of Iran's enriched nuclear material. Not just the 60% stuff, not the 20% stuff, all of it. And that is a red line according to the administration. If they would agree to that. I don't see how anybody could call this a loss for the world, um, or the United States or Trump. Seems like a win to me. It doesn't. Get everything he said in the beginning. I, I, I'd forgotten. As reminded yesterday by somebody. You remember day one when Trump said, good people of Iran, we are your friends. Your moment is at hand. Take your country back. No talk of that anymore.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, that's over.

[Joe Getty]

They give up the nuclear power, they get to continue to be Sharia law loving evil mullahs who'll kill you for looking at them the wrong way. Sorry your country sucks, but at least you don't have a nuclear weapon.

[Jack Armstrong]

I saw your hair. I'm going to beat and rape you now with the sanction of the government. Yeah, exactly. Obviously the notes of caution are this is a regime that's entire playbook is come to a preliminary agreement,

[Joe Getty]

hash out

[Jack Armstrong]

and obfuscate over all the specifics for as long as you conceivably can while you're rebuilding your capability to do the very things that you're agreeing not to do. And then the minute the ink is dry, start cheating. Why didn't they agree to, why didn't

[Joe Getty]

they do that in the first place before their country got all blowed up?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a really interesting question. I, you know, I could hazard a guess, but it'd be a guess. So who has the time? So I to say I am pessimistic about a fruitful resolution of this 14 point plan is, is an understatement. But we'll have to see. The, the squeeze of the, the blockade is significant. It hurts bad and it could bear fruit. Oh, one more point I want to make. One aspect of this deal, it sounds really good if they hang with it, is that all of the good stuff for Iran is conditional on them achieving steps, concrete steps towards showing that they're cooperating. Unlike the ridiculous Obama agreement, the jcpoa that gave them, in a sense, a giant signing bonus. As horse face Kerry trotted around the country. He galloped at times, but declaring what a historical and wonderful deal this was. The Iranians were already cheating.

[Joe Getty]

The horse face carry galloped around the country and they're anywhere, anytime. Inspections weren't anywhere and the anytime was you get 21 days notice.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Which is, is, you know, nothing. Are you happy with yourself with that?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, relatively. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I had a point I was going to make. Oh. I, why wouldn't they take this deal? I mean, I realize it's very one sided, but you're up against the wall. You're gonna get blowed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Bejesus.

[Joe Getty]

Com. Sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

Are they, Are they.

[Joe Getty]

So you think they're counting on the fact that they won't. That we won't re. Start bombing them again?

[Jack Armstrong]

I have seen Reddit said in all sorts of different quarters, from pretty damn Trumpy to kind of traditional conservative to the left, that Trump has really decided he doesn't want any more war. War. He really wants to do this without that.

[Joe Getty]

Well, if I'm the Iranians and I believe that, then I probably hold out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Right. It's gonna be a rocky road, there's no doubt, but we won't know. You know, to the point we've made many times. Anybody pronouncing that this is a win or loss at this point is a jackass. And you shouldn't give them your eyes, ears, and money, certainly, because it's, it's so in flux and it's incredibly important. That's the other thing that's so annoying about this. Nobody bothers to reset. Remember, this is a murderous regime that's embraced Islamic extremism, terrorism, chance, death to America constantly, and wants to get a nuclear weapon so they can use it. That's what we're talking about here.

[Joe Getty]

So I started the show talking about the lead story in the world because I was watching Mark Halpern's news program yesterday afternoon, and he is talking about the lead every day. Should be the war with Iran. That should actually be the lead of every newscast because it's the biggest story affecting the most people in America. See, price of gas, see, you know, price of everything, et cetera. He said the only thing yesterday that he could imagine bumping that off the lead story would be AI he said it's possible that AI actually is the lead story in the world and should be every day.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Depending on how it turns out. And he based it off of this ad that is so visual. We're not gonna. It's very, very visual. He could play you some of the audio, but it wouldn't make the impact. Have you seen this ad? It's about the LA mayoral race. It's, it's on behalf of that Pratt dude, Spencer Pratt.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

It's a takeoff on that Hitler meme from that movie Downfall from years ago where Hitler's sitting there at the desk and all of his generals start telling him, you know, basically speaking truth to Hitler, that we're losing. And he gets all flummoxed, takes off his glasses and gets mad. So it's Karen Bass as the mayor and being told about Spencer Pratt's new ads or whatever. But Mark Halperin's point around AI was how incredibly good that ad was. Well, here. Here's a little bit of the audio, for what that's worth. It has come to our attention that

[Jacob Goldstein]

a Spencer Pratt political ad is going viral.

[Joe Getty]

I already saw it. The one where he's crying about his house.

[Jack Armstrong]

Give me a break with the sob stories.

[Joe Getty]

It's time to move on. No, ma', am, this is a new ad and it seems to be more powerful. What do you mean, another ad? It already has millions of views on

[Jacob Goldstein]

X and ma', am, the production value,

[Joe Getty]

it looks like a hundred million dollar film. Where are they getting that kind of money?

[Jack Armstrong]

I personally shut down every damn studio in this city.

[Joe Getty]

Ma', am, it was an AI filmmaker.

[Radhi Deblokia]

What do you mean? It was an AI filmmaker.

[Joe Getty]

So that makes.

[Jack Armstrong]

The visuals are amazing.

[Joe Getty]

Well, yeah, the visuals are absolutely incredible. And the point that Halperin was making is this isn't an official Spencer Pratt ad. This is just somebody did it who wants him to win. Yeah, and we're into a completely different universe now. He said that is one of the most visually great political ads that he's ever seen. Go. If you go backwards with people who have spent millions of dollars and who had Steven Spielberg on their side to make an ad for their candidacy or whatever. And here's somebody who just likes the guy who probably. Probably threw it together in 15 minutes at zero cost because he just wants Brett to win. And how. We're. We're just. Is. Is fundraising going to mean anything? At least in terms of advertising? Is it going to mean anything going forward if just everybody on your side who has the least bit of creativity can make fantastic radio ads and TV

[Jack Armstrong]

ads and then zap it around and zap it around. Millions and millions of views without you spending a dollar on ad ad, you know, fees.

[Joe Getty]

What does that mean? Right, that it's almost hard to wrap your head around that this next presidential contest, because that'll be the next time people really pay attention. Who's. Who's got the most money in their war chest to run ads? What the hell difference does that make at all? I think the smart candidate will abandon that being a thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, first of all, Gavin Newsom told us there won't be another election if Trump won and Trump won. So there won't be an election. You don't have to worry about it. But to your point, the incredibly important war with Iran, their quest for nuclear weapons ought to be the lead story. If not that, the incredible disruptions of AI should be the lead story. Instead we get this two months in, he called there.

[Joe Getty]

That poor guy was in the ice, frozen the ice there. I drove up beside him and looked, oh, I can't leave him. And I'm thinking, yeah, I'm pretty sure I can just slide the deck down to him. And I know I got a soft sling I could throw around around him. I'm sure we could pop about. And it worked out great. Pretty leery to walk up to him at first, but he was so tired and exhausted. He's been in there for a long time. I just backed with him.

[Jack Armstrong]

ABC News. You can turn it down. A tow truck driver rescuing a moose stuck on the ice. That's what the evening news is.

[Joe Getty]

You think that should have been the lead story?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what was the lead story. Iran should have been moose is stuck in ice. Airplanes taking out light poles.

[Joe Getty]

Iran, maybe AI but no, the lead story is an ice stuck moose.

[Jack Armstrong]

Clearly an ice bound moose.

[Joe Getty]

Anyway, try to wrap your head around the next big election where every single human in America could make a great ad if they want to. Holy crap. We'll finish strong.

[Jack Armstrong]

Next Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Joe Getty]

Just reading that Burger King's quarterly numbers were really, really up by a lot. Like for the industry. Ridiculously a lot. And they're putting, they're putting some of the blame on the CEO of McDonald's and his Chris Kemp Zinski, or however you say his name his struggling to take a bite of their new Big Arch burger. I. That was embarrassing and mockable and got a lot of memory out there.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Joe Getty]

But I don't know that if a lot of people switched from McDonald's to Burger King because of that.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no. In fact, I think that's. That's wrong because McDonald's had a great quarter. I just read. But I do think the response from Burger King to that video was, was skillful and funny and reminded people, you know, that is a pretty good looking burger, man.

[Joe Getty]

I can eat McDonald's and be okay. The Burger King doesn't treat me right. I don't know what's going on there, but same with the Kentucky Fried Chicken. Like, the taste doesn't treat me well, but it's funny.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kentucky, try fried chicken. Is this 4chan.

[Joe Getty]

What did I say?

[Jack Armstrong]

You said Kenkucky Fried Chicken. That's terrible.

[Joe Getty]

I don't even understand what you're saying. What I said.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know the term cuck, right?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

It sounded like you were going all 4chan on us. All neo Nazi.

[Joe Getty]

I saw again, rabbit hole on YouTube. It was Chris Rock having a conversation with Jerry Seinfeld. But anyway, Chris Rock saying, there's really no better meal than the two piece with biscuit, which is the Kentucky Fried Chicken thing. Seinfeld said, what about Popeyes? Chris Rock said, popeyes is too good. Too good. Because you eat that, you can't stop eating. So I thought that was interesting. He doesn't need a Popeyes because he thinks it's so good you can't stop eating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow,

[Joe Getty]

Popeyes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Word to the wise, if you haven't

[Joe Getty]

had a Popeye biscuit, that's some good eating right there. Why is that so good?

[Jack Armstrong]

Hypnotic, yet terrible.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. Oh, I'm supposed to say this. Here we are with final thoughts. Here's your host, Joe Getty, Michelangelo, kick it off.

[Jack Armstrong]

What'd you have?

[Joe Getty]

Final thought.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I gotta ketchup on chicken. I gotta find a Cane's chicken and A Popeyes Chicken. All I've got is kfc and I haven't eaten that for years.

[Jacob Goldstein]

What?

[Joe Getty]

Kate, in my opinion, Cane's chicken is just several notches above kfc. They're not even the same.

[Jack Armstrong]

Leak chicken authority Jack Armstrong there. Take that to the bank. Jack, a final thought for us.

[Joe Getty]

My kids prefer the ones that taste less healthy. I think they're down on Cane's chicken because it's got that. I'm getting lots of chicken here and not grease and kind of has a more healthy flavor to it, which I like. But the kids. The kids like the super greasy fatty thingy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I'll jump on the chicken wagon. I don't eat fried chicken much because in my mind that's one of those, like, you've gone way overboard foods. Oh, wow.

[Joe Getty]

I'd eat fried chicken every day if I had in front of me.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's like having an ice cream cone, you know, on the average afternoon. Or a milkshake.

[Joe Getty]

You consider fried chicken in the category of milkshakes? Like things you shouldn't eat?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Just too much, too unhealthy.

[Joe Getty]

And I'm not sure I should because it's flipping delicious.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, God.

[Joe Getty]

I'd say, what's the point of being alive? Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four, four hour workday now.
