[Joe Getty]

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio

[Jack Armstrong]

Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center,

[Joe Getty]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty. For some reason, this pop popped into my mind. Joe and I were talking during the commercials about humidity. This is the sort of things we talk about during the commercials.

[Joe Getty]

Doesn't sound like a couple old guys, does it? It's so humid, my feet hurt.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do your feet hurt?

[Joe Getty]

Is it always this humid?

[Jack Armstrong]

I told the story many times. We left our family vacation last year early because it was so hot in Florida in August. We ended up flying up to New York and doing different stuff. But anyway, my oldest son said the other day, he said that was my favorite vacation we've ever been on because we did a lot of fun stuff. And my younger son said I liked the. We did a road trip vacation before last. We drove clear across South Dakota and, And different stuff, Wyoming. But I was just on the. And got a, you know, working on a vacation for this year and just thinking about, you know, the memories you create with your family and for your kids that they'll have the rest of their lives and all that sort of stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And your kids are grown up already. Joe.

[Michael (Producer)]

How quickly it goes by.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, I mean, I know everybody says that. I know everybody says that, but it's still truer than that. It's still truer than the fact that everybody says it. You think you got. I got 18 years before they're, you know, even adults. It goes by so freaking fast.

[Joe Getty]

So true.

[Jack Armstrong]

What is that trick of the brain where on a day by day basis, I mean, it's grueling, especially when they're younger, but it goes by so fast. That period of time where you're walking down the sidewalk holding their hand and everything is amazing to them is like that long.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. So true. I think it's a variation on the old saying, time flies when you're having fun. I would say time flies when you're completely engaged in what you're doing. It's like, you know, we've both worked jobs of drudgery and physical labor and humiliatingly low wages. And if you are busy at that miserable job, that's so much better than not being busy. If you're standing around bored and you hate your job, oh, that's the worst thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then the age thing that nobody's ever quite figured out why it works that way for as you get older. But like my son who's going to be a junior, he's got two years of high school left and he ate school the way I hated school, unfortunately. But I remember thinking two years was just. You might as well, say a thousand years. It was so long when you're that age. And I told me, I wish I could give you, you know, what two years feels like for me. For me, two years feels like six months. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

My. My daughter, who is very bright and well adjusted, Delaney, in spite of my best efforts, at one point, as she was contemplating her future, said, you know, at the end of law school, I'll be like 26 and a half. And I'm like, I can't remember. Can 26 year olds drive or walk or what? Oh, that's right. You're not that young. But you're young, so it's fine. But you're right. You're 100% right. And before we get to Eclipse of the week, I just. I've almost got this down. Buffaloed Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffaloed Buffalo. Buffaloed. Buffalo. Buffalo. I got it. I got. I got the emphasis right.

[Jack Armstrong]

You got to post that somewhere because I think it's better in print where you can look at it and try to digest it.

[Joe Getty]

I'm going to have to write it out and explain it, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a note from Scott that the term buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo is grammatically correct and means the bison from buffalo that are bullied by other bison from buffalo. Also bully. Bison from buffalo. I respectfully disagreed. You need some past tense and at least one dash in there, but buffalo to Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo is actually grammatically correct, but yes, I will post it in print. The capitalization matters too.

[Jack Armstrong]

It reeks of the lamp. I just came across that phrase last night.

[Joe Getty]

Pardon me.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I'm getting.

[Joe Getty]

I like that almost as much as it insists on itself. Insists upon itself as a review, it insists upon itself.

[Jack Armstrong]

I came across this last night. I'm starting to write and I'm wanting to do that. Like trying to get in the habit of writing on a register.

[Joe Getty]

Fabulous.

[Jack Armstrong]

In that I play musical instruments every single day. I've never been able to consistently write, so I'm gonna try to build the habit of writing on a regular basis anyway. So I've been watching a lot of. And reading a lot about writers and writing and stuff like that. And Martin Amos quoted Samuel Johnson about overwriting. I mean. Cause you gotta rewrite and rewrite and rewrite. But at some point, you know, it's perfect and now you're only doing damage. That's one of the big tricks to writing.

[Joe Getty]

And Sam, why do you stop painting? Same with music.

[Jack Armstrong]

And Samuel Johnson had a phrase of it reeks of the lamp as you stayed up too long too adjusting it. I mean, you overrode it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which is a good phrase. Reeks of the lamp.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Wow. That's funny. Oh, boy. Yeah, the whole buffaloed buffalo thing does reek of the lamp. Put it away, son.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right.

[Joe Getty]

It's the beloved Friday tradition. Let's do it. Let's take a fond look back at the week that was. It's cow. Clips of the week.

[Jack Armstrong]

Clips of the week. Silvarbit El partido Mexico. We can save this. It's possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News in my view is on fire.

[Michael (Producer)]

It's on fire.

[Jack Armstrong]

What is going on?

[Joe Getty]

Part of our thesis here is that

[Jack Armstrong]

people do not want their candidates grown in bats. Op Hustle, Pete. Hustle.

[Wrestling Announcer]

Redemption is not just some simple or easy destination.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a journey. What kind of a creeper has been on a decade on a platform like kick? I said none of this will or should stop him from becoming a US Senator.

[Joe Getty]

Sarah himself is this perfectly amiable but completely unaccomplished establishment nonentity. Consumer prices with food and energy included rose 4.2%.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know what I really love? I love the inflation.

[Joe Getty]

Little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public for the with the largest IPO that ever.

[Jack Armstrong]

To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's really. Well, you play right into their hands.

[Announcer]

Let's continue.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're either crooked or you're stupid. Thank you, darling.

[Joe Getty]

Have a good day.

[Announcer]

Mr. President. Let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.

[Jack Armstrong]

We hit him hard yesterday and we're going to hit him again hard today.

[Promotional Announcer]

And he said we'll bomb the s out of them.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was just tap, tap, tap. Instead they're going to have tap tap, tap. Bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran. But the streets have been open for a number of months already and you just didn't know about it. We have a signing soon and the documents are in pretty final shape. This magic carpet ride continues beautiful as

[Michael (Producer)]

got no good.

[Jack Armstrong]

The tip. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. Bed lair at the Garden. They can't believe it.

[Announcer]

It's Clips of the week.

[Joe Getty]

Mike Hansen, executive producer with a brilliant job on clips of the Week as always.

[Jack Armstrong]

Will they be anybody at the spurs game tomorrow? I don't know if any fan fight even go. I think the players should just forfeit after the other night. Call it good.

[Joe Getty]

So the world's worst male voice. Every time I hear It. My skin crawls.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's pretty funny.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think

[Jack Armstrong]

so. He worked in the Platner campaign. We never did play the bastard. Yeah, we never did play the Platner's acceptance speech and stuff like that earlier this week. But you heard a little bit of it there. It was good. It was really good. So if Susan Collins, the Republican sitting senator, has oppo research, I suggest you dump it when the appropriate time comes, because he ain't gonna be a pushover.

[Joe Getty]

No. He's as forceful and articulate, 100%, definitely a charismatic guy. Just don't become his girlfriend or don't burgle his pad. Okay. I don't know if you've heard this. He has a unique system of justice for burglars. Krtb. Keep raping those burglars.

[Jack Armstrong]

You'd see him there coming at you with his sharpened ax, and you'd think, well, I guess that's the worst of it.

[Joe Getty]

Nope, nope. You ever seen Pulp Fiction, son? All right. Oh, and then the other. Speaking of weird voices. Play. Get ready to play 12, Michael. This is a guy who is inside a Walmart. Bizarrely, some troubled young man. I think he's mentally ill. Judging. I just. He looked mentally ill to me. He set fire to an entire display of bras. Now, I don't know if he's like a Free the Nipple activist or just likes him loose or is completely nuts, but. So he sets this fire inside of Walmart and the alarms are going off, and here's how one fell reacted.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't make this up. Look at this. I'm in Walmart. In Ren. It's time to go. It's on fire. What is going on?

[Joe Getty]

Why the Mickey Mouse voice?

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, kids.

[Joe Getty]

It's like, oh, my God, is this an earthquake? What are we supposed to do?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know what to do. I don't want to get hurt.

[Joe Getty]

Why would you do that? Go falsetto.

[Jack Armstrong]

Saw a couple flames, went all Mr. Bill. I have no idea. Oh, no.

[Joe Getty]

All right, more to come.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're playing a lot of audio, but, you know, it's Friday, it's summer, we're barely working. I think it fulfills our contracted contractual obligations to play this. Also, Michelangelo said this Bill Burr thing really fits in with what we were talking about with kids growing up fast and that sort of stuff. So why not play it here?

[Michael (Producer)]

Life can pass you by. It happens, you know, you just keep

[Jack Armstrong]

living and living and living.

[Michael (Producer)]

You know what it is? You basically, you got. I think you got, like, 25, 30 years to absorb as much as you can, and then that's it. That's all you know. Because right around then you get married and it's over. Right? You have a couple of kids, you're sucked in the bubble. You don't have time to pay attention to what's going on in the world. You're just stuck with these kids. Don't be a serial killer. Don't touch that. You're just stuck in that. You have three, four kids. That is a 25 year sentence. Trying to get them all through college. Society just keeps going. You get the last one through college, you step back out of the bubble, just. You don't know what happened. You're not even paying attention. You go back to your old record collection.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Back into the real world. I have the opposite thing because I was talking to somebody about this yesterday because I didn't have kids, So I was 45. So I don't have. I didn't delay all the things that I wanted to do. I wish I would have, but I didn't delay all the things I wanted to do so that, you know, I had. I had more stuff to jam in there. But I get his point. Mm, yeah. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I wouldn't call it a sentence by any stretch of the imagination.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, no.

[Joe Getty]

Five year sentence.

[Jack Armstrong]

Absolutely not. Yeah. I already dread when it's over with the combination of if it doesn't end, something's gone wrong. So that's a weird contradiction.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Coming up, I want to get to this. Is Mexico safe enough to go to the World Cup? The answer is probably yeah. But the reasons why are just crazy interesting. It's amazing how little we pay attention to the half a narco state unstable critical trading partner that's right over there.

[Jack Armstrong]

My neighbors are going to Mexico City on vacation this summer. I went to Mexico City 20 years ago on vacation. It was really, really awesome. Very interesting. Got a fantastic piece by a great writer named Matthew Continenti about how it's around the 250th anniversary. Looking back on the bicentennial 50 years ago. How nostalgia warps you into believing things are so much. Were so much better than they are and they are now, and that's a distortion and blah, blah. It's really interesting. We'll get to that later too. Stick around.

[Jack Armstrong]

And there you go, ladies and gentlemen, Mexico defeats some country you've never heard of in soccer for the World cup, the opening match there at Azteca Stadium. Is that the name of our it's one of the most legendary stadiums in the world.

[Joe Getty]

Indeed. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'll bet that's a hell of an atmosphere. That'd be fun.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it would.

[Dad]

So

[Joe Getty]

the tuneless tune of the vuvuzela. So a couple of journalists approaching the question of whether Mexico is safe enough, given the cartel nuttiness lately, to go

[Jack Armstrong]

to the World cup, to fly into Mexico City and go to a soccer match. I wouldn't hesitate at all. But I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Neither would. Neither would I. Although they're also having big matches in the suburbs of Guadalajara, where manicured lawns sit near high end shopping centers and 89 bags of human remains have been found in the past year, dumped in ravines or dug up from unmarked graves. And a few miles from those discoveries, soccer plan fans will pour into the big Akron Stadium outside Guadalajara for World cup matches, blah, blah, blah. And they go into the four months of violence, spasm of violence, cartel violence that paralyzed Guadalajara and the surrounding state of Jalisco.

[Jack Armstrong]

I used to ride my motorcycle around Mexico and I don't know as I'd be I'd be comfortable doing that now as I used to. But I always just think back when I used to do it. People tell me, oh, it's way too dangerous to do it down there. I never had anything that came within 100 miles of even being sketchy while I was in Mexico. But things are worse now than they were then.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't doubt it. I would add that you were aware of. But anyway, I've got a friend who got the perfect window to go to Cairo, Egypt and then Israel, including Jerusalem and just all the holy sites and everything. He said we had to cancel it several times because I couldn't go before we went and then I couldn't go now. But so I got so lucky and I think, you know, at times Mexico is the same. It's kind of up and down in terms of the situation. But anyway, I thought this was super interesting. Tyler Cowan, who's a writer, thinker, economist, a bunch of stuff and he writes for the the Free Press has been to Mexico dozens and dozens of times and his stuff, and I wish we had time for it, but he's talking about how murder and mayhem ruled the Mexican ruled after the Mexican government took out. Remember El Mencho, the leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation cartel. The cartel's response was swift and violent, most notably in tourist hotspot Puerto Vallarta, which used to be off limits, blah, blah, blah. And then he goes into the entire history of the country. Country of Mexico is not being a coherent state. They've never been a solid, coherent united country.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

And so it kind of just moves in waves like we're talking about. But he said, yeah, I absolutely go to the, the World cup, but I wouldn't like to venture into the countryside similar to Cuba.

If they could ever get their act together, they'd be such a tourist. Valhalla.

[Michael (Producer)]

the Congressional Baseball game was won last night by the Republicans who defeated the Democrats 11 to 2.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'm not saying they cheated, but

[Michael (Producer)]

I'm pretty sure there's no Senator Ohtani from South Dakota.

[Joe Getty]

That's the music.

[Jack Armstrong]

There was a spectacular catch by one of the Republicans, I think.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, dive and grab in the left field. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we're coming up on the 250th anniversary of our country. Gotta say, I mean, I was a child for the bicentennial in 1976. I certainly feel like, well, there was definitely a lot less America hating going on, if any. I don't think there was any percent

[Joe Getty]

that was the fringe of the fringe, but anything. All races, by the way, folks. All races. And I got it. I got a clue for you. In 1976, black people weren't stupid or blinded to reality. Nor were they in 1945 when patriotism ran very high. Anyway, back to you.

[Jack Armstrong]

The word nostalgia literally means homesickness. A homesickness for the past. Matthew Continetti writes about for AEI and writes about how 50 years ago, for the bicentennial, America was In many respects, much more of a mess than it is today, despite the way we remember it, because of the way the brain works, which we're about to get into. But inflation, gas lines, crime, unemployment, political violence, race relations, geopolitical tensions just coming out of the Vietnam War, Middle east, everything was worse than it is now,

[Joe Getty]

despite what we're telling pollsters post Watergate as well. Great cynicism and disillusionment.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, most Americans tell posters we were better off 50 years ago. Here's the thing. Lots of people always think things were better 50 years ago. It's been that way since the dawn of polling. What makes people think the past was better isn't a careful study of statistics, but a lazy inventory of feelings and a lazier outsourcing to media vibes. This tendency didn't begin with polling. The poly just made it easier to quantify the pull of nostalgia.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not sure it's lazy as much as it's just in us. That's what humans do. As the great philosopher Barbara Streisand put it, Those two painful to remember, we simply choose to forget.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and then the powerful take advantage of this tendency, this human tendency to glorify the past. We get back to Matthew Continent, he's writing, ironically, the system so many people on the left, right and middle heap scorn on for failing the current generation fuels the malaise. Political demigods, activists, journalists and big corporations seek to exploit or monetize the natural human tendency to pine for the simpler, happier times. The Roman poet Horus had a term for such people 2000 years ago, and he gives the Latin for it appraiser of times past when he was a boy, that has always worked, always through human history. You could claim that, you know, back when things were great. We all remember when things were great 50 years ago. And then, you know, try to sell something to somebody or convince them you should be in charge now, or whatever it is.

[Joe Getty]

1989, that was actually the peak. It was better then.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pick any error and you can find things worthy of nostalgia. But you can also find plenty of things almost nobody wants restored. For instance, the infant mortality rate was three times higher in 1976 and 13 times higher in 1926, 50 years before that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, this last paragraph is what I wanted to get in because I thought it was really interesting. He writes, I'm a conservative, so I'm the first to concede that the past is worth remembering and studying. But if all you do is cherry pick the good, real or alleged, while blinding yourself to the bad. You're not studying the past. You're grading the present against a past that never was.

[Joe Getty]

Well said.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's pretty good. That's. That's a good thing to watch out for.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wonder, is there a. I always go to evolutionary reasons, assuming that most human nature stuff we have held on to is because those of us who do these things have survived versus people who didn't. And I wonder if there's just some advantage to remembering the good stuff and blocking out the bad for moving forward. You talked about babynesia earlier, how you forget how much work having a baby is because if you remembered it, maybe you wouldn't have another baby. But, you know, and maybe that's. Maybe that's the whole evolutionary thing. I have no idea.

[Joe Getty]

Or even if it's not evolutionary, it might just be, you know, anthropologically adaptive. Like being nice to people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, what's so interesting is, you know, when I read Orwell earlier in my life, before I had much perspective, I got that if you can seize people's history, you can. You can control them because you're controlling their perception of who they are. I kind of sort of got it, but now I really, really get it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

History. Because the Neo Marxists right now are doing the opposite. Well, they're doing something similar to what Matthew Continetti's talking about. But everybody's trying to tell you the past was because you are. We are a product of everything we have lived and done. If you can twist in people's mind what we've lived and done, you got them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. And even for people that are doing their best to let you know what happened as without an agenda, the best they can don't agree on stuff. So history, to a certain extent, is a. Is a fabrication anyway. It's the best you can do. And then if you got somebody with an agenda and that's all you've ever learned, then you have a completely skewed view of everything. It's highly troubling.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I know. I think the most terrifying sentence I've ever cooked up in discussing the complete infiltration of our schools, our educational system with these radical leftists is kids learn what they're taught, and they've learned to hate their country like that. Proud of being an American. Gallup poll. I was looking at this earlier. We were talking about this at length. To kick off. Was it hour two? I don't remember. Hour three. Are you extremely or very proud to be an American? Silent Greatest generation. The older folks 83% falls off 8% to baby boomers at 75%, barely falls off at all to Gen X, 71% then it falls off full 13%. Millennials, 58% say they are. And Gen Z born 1997 and on 41% say they're extremely or very proud to be an American. I would have been absolutely a yes at their age. So it's not just age. They learned what they were taught.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, the idea of learning we're a bad country seems crazy. I had too many lefty professors. But I didn't come out of school thinking we were a bad country.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I came out of school thinking, what's the matter with them? The. The great historian Gordon Wood died recently. He was a super hardcore Critic of the 1619 Project late in his life and was very, very eloquent. If I'm a 12 year old and I'm taught that the 1619 project is an accurate portrayal of the country's founding and why it was founded, it's plausible enough, I would believe it. It holds together as an argument. It is factually, wildly, almost hilariously inaccurate in its cherry picking and it's just utter dishonesty. But 12 year olds believe it. Kids learn what they're taught. That's why, you know, I've been saying we're in the fight for our lives, for certainly for our country, for our children's hearts and minds and we've let it go way too far in the other direction. But I don't want to go on and on.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got funny stuff and we'll again, it's Friday. We've been trying not to slur because we're half in the bag. We got the daiquiri machine going. It's Friday. We got. I got a bunch of jokes when we come back to finish strong.

[Joe Getty]

Whole bunch of jokes. I ate a gummy and I wasn't getting high, so I had another one and. And now Michael has three heads and one of them is the head of a giant rabbit.

[Jack Armstrong]

So your calibration got off. As long as you can see my cues.

[Joe Getty]

I could be scramming any minute, Michael. So get me scramming. Get me a bucket.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, no. Scromming. Not at least until the show's over. A bunch of jokes and other stuff on the way. We'll finish strong.

[Joe Getty]

Stay here, Armstrong, and get.

[Joe Getty]

This is the airplane experience.

[Michael (Producer)]

It's not a good experience.

[Joe Getty]

Bring your fishing product. Oh, yeah, I got a net. I'm gonna use my hand.

[Wrestling Announcer]

This trip is gonna be so, so great.

[Joe Getty]

What's gonna be so great? It's a great burden to have to leave our families.

[Jack Armstrong]

We don't want to go. Alfred is the last largest mill owner

[Joe Getty]

in western New York.

[Michael (Producer)]

We employ over 120 children.

[Joe Getty]

Are you four children working at the mill? I dislike children so much. It really doesn't bother me what they do.

[Jack Armstrong]

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness and almost history of America. Seven episodes. Starts June 26th on HBO. And I'll bet you that's why he was in the front row at the Knicks game. Even though he's been a lifelong Knicks fan and he's got like hundreds of millions of dollars. Oh. But HBO got him a front row ticket so that they could promote his new show. We found out from Ben Stiller that's the way it works.

[Joe Getty]

So what's the premise of the show? Can you tell? Is it, I don't know, like a funny documentary or. Huh.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kids working at Mills. Are you okay with that? You know, as much as I dislike kids, I don't really care. Him going nuts at the game the other night was funny though, just because we've never seen him happen. He just was always miserable.

[Joe Getty]

That's.

[Jack Armstrong]

His whole vibe is miserable.

[Joe Getty]

Right? Uncomfortable.

[Jack Armstrong]

By the way, SpaceX crossed 128, $128 a share at one point. It was 150 or something. Anyway, I predicted Elon Musk, officially the world's first trillionaire. So good luck to Elon Musk.

[Joe Getty]

Things are getting weird and they're getting weird fast.

[Jack Armstrong]

It could be a really, really big deal, this whole SpaceX thing. Getting everything into space. But more on that probably Monday after it settles down and we see how it all went. I got some Babylon B headlines for you. Just a bunch of jokes in a row. There you Go all pretty funny to wrap things up. How much time have I got? Michael? See if I need to hurry through this.

[Joe Getty]

I got about, let's see, five minutes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Five minutes. Yeah. Oh, geez. We need more material.

[Joe Getty]

I got a million things.

[Jack Armstrong]

EMTs to be stationed near spurs bench next game to prevent choking. Oh, we had this one earlier. Trump sets new world record by winning war with Iran 27 times in one year here. Yeah, we'll see where that goes over.

[Joe Getty]

Totally decimated. They're completely. Their navy's at the bottom of the sea. Why aren't we not imposing our terms on them?

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll see where that goes today. And over the weekend, man Bill Gates brought before Congress to answer Epstein and Windows Vista. I'm not. I. I never had.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Was Windows Vista bad?

[Joe Getty]

That's going back some. Yeah, it was a debacle.

[Jack Armstrong]

This one I relate to a lot. Particularly before I had kids, I made sloppy Joes last night. I hadn't had sloppy Joe's in a long time. God, Sloppy Joe. And I told. I showed my kids. My 14 year old loved them. My 16 year old who doesn't like meat, didn't really like him. And you put some potato chips on the top underneath the bun of sloppy Joe, please. That's some good eating right there.

[Joe Getty]

Known as sloppy daddies for many years in my house.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, really? All right. Of course.

[Joe Getty]

God.

[Jack Armstrong]

We had sloppy Joe's, though. Ah, that was a good eat. Oh, my God.

[Joe Getty]

I have not had an SJ in, oh, years.

[Jack Armstrong]

What am I thinking? So good. So cheap. And then Henry, he. He wanted one before he went to bed. Got some leftovers out of heated up in the microwave, had another one for bed. That's a good eating. Anyway, I thought this joke was kind of funny. Man eating cereal out of flower vase wonders if he should do dishes. I've been that guy before.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my, that is funny.

[Jack Armstrong]

What have I got that's concave enough I could eat cereal out of rather than do dishes? A shoe, a flower vase. Accountant at party realizes too late that person asking him about his work was just being polite. Oh, no kidding.

[Joe Getty]

That's tough. Oh, that's tough. So getting back to the dish thing now, you. You have been a single man more than I have in my adulthood. But when like my wife's out of town for a week or something, I am. One spoon, one bowl. Absolutely. One fork, one plate guy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Absolutely. And. And the same bowl, spoon, fork, plate.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

For as long as necessary. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Nothing else is disturbed in the. The cabinet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Much more efficient and you don't have to quote, unquote, do dishes. You get a little soap on the sponge there, you're done, and you eat a meal and then you do it again.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't even put that much effort into it. I don't rinse it off, but I'm not gonna soap and sponge it.

[Joe Getty]

Right, exactly. Who are you going to poison, yourself?

[Jack Armstrong]

Got some crusted Raisin Bran and stuff from yesterday. What do I care?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's too. See, you're too far, newbie disc golfer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not even high. Can you play disc golf? Not high. Is that allowed? And this one, which is a joke, but very serious. Carmelo kicking himself for not converting to Islam and stabbing someone in the UK instead of. Oh, boy, that's a good one.

[Joe Getty]

That is a good one. Yeah, we were talking about that in much more serious tones earlier. You know, pitting everybody against each other based on their race or their sexual proclivity or whatever is. It's really, It's a useful, revolutionary tactic in ways we've talked about. I was talking about, or I was reading about rather, how Lebanon is on the verge of another civil war. And I remember back in, oh, gosh, was it the late 80s, that they had a previous horrendous civil war with the Green Line, which was a street that if you even tried to cross it, you would be killed by a sniper from one side or another. And it was the Sunnis and the Shia and the Druze and the Maronites, the Palestinians, and then the rag taggy clinging to the idea that they had a state government forces all either killing everybody else or a couple of those other groups. And it's all based on identity. And the idea that that is on any level a good idea is not only profoundly un American, it's profoundly stupid.

[Michael (Producer)]

Hey, kids, it's that time again

[Jack Armstrong]

with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host for Final Thoughts, Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. Pressing the buttons in the control room. There he is, keeping the ship afloat. It's Michelangelo. Michael, final thought.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

We were talking about nostalgia, and I was just making a list of my nostalgia. We have the corded telephones from the landline. We got the VHS tapes, blockbuster video buying CDs, Atari video games, and of course, getting together with, with friends to watch the scrambled Playboy Channel, hoping to see a little boob. Good times. Jack, a final thought for us.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wish I hadn't started talking about sloppy Joes. I'm glad I've got some leftovers. I guarantee you when I get home I'm gonna whip another one of those up. Little microwave a couple. No, I don't put cheese. I've never tried that. Is it good?

[Joe Getty]

Oh it's fantastic.

[Jack Armstrong]

I put potato chips on there. Potato chips and cheese. Oh okay. Why not?

[Joe Getty]

What are you an anti Jesus YOLO? Let's see. My final thought is 1976, the year of our bicentennial. I was extremely patriotic, them as I am now. I was collecting those bicentennial quarters and we got my childhood dog Nika and I cried because we had to separate her from her litter mates and she was sad. So I was sad. That is most of my memory in 1976. Oh and I was wearing tall gym socks because everybody was.

[Jack Armstrong]

I had a red, white and blue Budweiser bucket hat that I wore that

[Joe Getty]

whole summer as a child.

[Jack Armstrong]

Back when kids would wear beer related gear. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour work day and kept the

[Joe Getty]
