Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. New Elvis Documentary – Rediscovering the King

(02:46–04:37)

• Armstrong introduces the main segment: “We got a hunka hunka showbiz news for you. Stay tuned. It’s one more thing.” (02:46)
• The hosts riff on the often poor reputation of Elvis films, clarifying this new work is a documentary—not another campy sequel:
  • Getty jokes: “It’s not like there’s a new Blue Hawaii sequel that’s come out.” (03:06)
• Armstrong describes Epic Elvis Presley in Concert, a newly uncovered collection of 60 hours of Elvis footage from nightly Hilton shows and rehearsals in 1970 (03:11), highlighting that even at this stage Elvis was “still drugged up, I think but thin, good looking, could still sing and had his wits about him.”
• Getty calls this “kind of the last gasp of his greatness.” (04:10)
• They reflect on the “comeback special” of 1968/69—Getty wistfully adds, “man who I wish I was a 10th that cool on the coolest day of my life.” (04:15)

2. Armstrong’s Personal Elvis Encounter

(04:24–05:20)

• Armstrong recalls seeing Elvis at Graceland as a child:

  “And that’s when I saw him in person as a little kid living in Memphis at Graceland. But I’ve told that story a million times, so I won’t do it again.” (04:24)

• He does, however, launch into an Elvis tale, referencing Pulitzer-winning biographies (Last Train to Memphis), and retelling a favorite anecdote—

  “when he got fat and everything and he would ride his horse around Graceland, he was a fat guy and a horse, and he had a bag of hot dog buns that he would tie around the horn of his saddle. And then he’d just have his hot dog buns with him all the time, and he’d just eat hot dog buns. What the—what, you’re telling me that guy died straining its stool? I don’t get it. That’s a funny story.” (05:18)

• Laughter ensues as they poke fun at Elvis’ later years.

3. Quick Celebrity News – Brady Bunch Landmark & 'The Bride' Movie Review

(05:20–06:23)

• Armstrong breezes through two pop-culture notes:
  • The Brady Bunch house is now a protected historic landmark in Los Angeles.
  • He shares a scathing review of the new horror film The Bride:

    “Only seconds into the movie, I regretted leaving my porch and pitchfork at home. My torch and pitchfork at home. But I thought it was just awful. Like, beyond awful. Like, can’t even believe it was made awful.” (06:23)

• Getty responds sarcastically, “Oh, great.”

4. Christina Applegate Memoir Bombshell

(06:23–08:38)

• Discussion shifts to Christina Applegate, who is navigating life with MS and promoting a new memoir:
  • Armstrong reads a standout passage: Applegate reveals she once left Brad Pitt mid-date at the 1989 Video Music Awards for Sebastian Bach (lead singer of Skid Row).
• Getty confirms: “Singer. Is that Skid Row?” (07:12)
• Armstrong describes the fallout, including:

  “Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom home. Oh. Then apparently at a gas station on the way, Brad almost got into a fight with a bunch of gang members and not surprisingly, was subsequently very mad at me for many years.” (07:14–08:19)

  • Applegate’s regret is recounted: discovering after the fact that Bach had a partner and a child.
• Getty takes a dig at Bach: “I’ve seen that Sebastian Bach interviewed for something else and struck me as a real half wit. So well done, Christina.” (08:27)
• Armstrong wraps the segment: “There you go. There’s our celebrity update of the day.” (08:35)

5. Closing Jokes & Elvis Tie-in

(08:38–09:03)

• Getty announces the episode will be short: “I need to get—this is going to be a short podcast today because I got to jet off to the doctor. So Joe has left the building. Tying it all together.” (08:38)
• Armstrong throws out one more playful Elvis reference: “How many of you people saw the movie Blue Hawaii?” (08:48)
• Armstrong closes with a classic line:

  “I will pull your goddamn tongue out by the roots. That’s when he was classic. That’s when he was struggling. Yeah.” (08:57)

[Armstrong]

of hunk of showbiz news for you. Stay tuned. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. First, this we mentioned on the show. There's a Elvis movie out. Elvis movie is like man, that was a, a slur back in the day because Elvis movies were so sucky. All of them.

[Getty]

Yeah. It's not like there's a new Blue Hawaii sequel that's come out.

[Armstrong]

There's a new movie, a documentary about Elvis. It's called Epic Elvis Presley in concert footage that's never it just got discovered, has never been seen before. Here's a little clip of it. There's been a lot written and a lot said, but never for my side of the story. Glory hallelujah is truth is mar. Oh, so it's from 1970. It's back when he used to play at the Hilton every single night. And it's just a bunch of 60 hours of concert footage that they found. Also stuff from the practices and the rehearsals and everything like that. Getting ready for it. It looks pretty cool. So it's free fat, super drugged up Elvis, he's still drugged up, I think but thin, good looking, could still sing and had his wits about him.

[Getty]

Kind of the last gasp of his greatness.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Getty]

So comeback special from 1969, was it 6869 man who I wish I was a 10th that cool on the coolest day of my life.

[Armstrong]

And that's when I saw him in person as a little kid living in Memphis at Graceland. But I've told that story a million times so I won't do it again.

[Getty]

Of course I know better than to strain its stool too. You can't do that as an older fellow. You just got to eat your prunes and let it happen.

[Armstrong]

My favorite Elvis story. And I wasn't going to get off an Elvis stories but I was telling Sam about this just or I told Henry about this the other day. Read the GK books about Elvis. Last Train to Memphis won the Pulitzer Prize. Great book, great book. And then the next one about the the down years which is more funny than inspiring. But anyway, story about when he was at his drugged up fattest. So I saw him at Graceland as a little kid. He was out riding his horse. And we pulled up the Graceland because we just lived a couple of blocks away. And they opened up the gates and he rode up on his horse and talked to some of us, and there was like five or six of us standing around. Me and my dad and brother and some other people talking Elvis. And he was in this fringy jacket and everything like that.

[Getty]

Right around the very arrow we're talking.

[Armstrong]

Yeah, 69. So anyway, that was very, very cool. But when he got fat and everything and he would ride his horse around Graceland, he was a fat guy and a horse, and he had a bag of hot dog buns that he would tie around the horn of his saddle. And then he'd just have his hot dog buns with him all the time, and he'd just eat hot dog buns. What the. What you're telling me that guy died straining its stool? I don't get it. That's a funny story. Two other slover. Dino, it's not important. Or three other Brady Bunch house has become a protected historic landmark in Los Angeles. I remember it's been bought and sold a bunch of different times, but now it's a historic landmark. So there you go. I just saw this review of the Bride. Have you seen any of the ads for the movie the Bride? It's a modern, latest version of Frankenstein. Oh, cool. The review wanted by one of your serious movie reviewers is. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen doing this job.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

Oh, great.

[Armstrong]

Okay. Only seconds into the movie, I regretted leaving my porch and pitchfork at home. My torch and pitchfork at home. But I thought it was just awful. Like, beyond awful. Like, can't even believe it was made awful. And then this final celebrity note. So Christina Applegate's getting lots of interviews right now. She's dying of Ms. It's quite a story. It's quite a story. She's got a memoir out, too. Let me just read a little bit from her memoir.

[Elf Cosmetics Announcer]

She's been through so much.

[Armstrong]

I know. She also lived quite. She was a child star, super hottie, everything like that. This is from her memoir. In her new memoir, Christina Applegate divulged that she once left Brad Pitt for Sebastian Bach mid date at the 1989 Video Music Awards. Sebastian Bach was. What was he, the woman of your hair band drummer or something like that?

[Getty]

Singer. Is that Skid row?

[Armstrong]

Skid row singer? Yeah. I had spent all night staring at Bach. This is at the Video Music Awards in 1989. I hate to put it like this, but Brad back then was still making his way in an actor and he wasn't yet the Brad Pitt. The man of so many dreams. She's at the Video Music Awards with Brad Pitt as her date in 1989. But she's staring at hair band. Sebastian Bachelor and it gets worse. Brad was left. I so I just left. I went over to be with him after the show was over to during the party, Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom home. Oh. Then apparently at a gas station on the way, Brad almost got into a fight with a bunch of gang members and not surprisingly, was subsequently very mad at me for many years. Applegate said she regretted the decision as soon as she found out that Bachelor had a longtime partner and a one year old child. She also said Pitt didn't talk to her for many, many years. She leaves Brad Pitt at the awards show for a hair band singer who's married, who's got a girlfriend and a little kid. Brad Pitt has to drive her mom, which just makes him a pretty decent guy actually that even though his girlfriend left him for somebody else. Yeah, I'll drive your mom home. I'm not going to leave her here.

[Getty]

And I've seen that Sebastian Bach interviewed for something else and struck me as a real half wit. So well done, Christina.

[Armstrong]

Nice move. There you go. There's our celebrity update of the day.

[Getty]

Yeah, and unfortunately I need to get this is going to be a short podcast today because I got to jet off to the doctor. So Joe has left the building. Tying it all together.

[Armstrong]

There you go. How many of you people saw the movie Blue Hawaii?

[Jacob Goldstein]

And then we all said this other

[Elf Cosmetics Announcer]

clip that we could get to.

[Armstrong]

I will pull your goddamn tongue out by the roots. That's when he was classic. That's when he was struggling. Yeah.

[Getty]

Yeah.

[Armstrong]

Well, I guess that's it.
