Kim Kardashian's chilling testimony about being bound.
Gagged and held at gunpoint when masked.
Men burst into her hotel room in Paris.
Jack Armstrong
Kardashian in Paris facing the suspects in court. They're accused of stealing more than $6 million in jewelry during the heist in 2016.
Unknown
She told the court she absolutely thought she was going to die. Yeah, that, that didn't get as much attention as it probably should have at the time, I guess because a lot of people have kind of a knee jerk dislike of Kim Kardashian in that whole thing. But.
Jack Armstrong
Or assume everything they do is a publicity stunt.
Unknown
Right.
Jack Armstrong
But she, remember that was one of the questions at the time.
Unknown
She legit had a gun to her head and thought she was going to die and had every reason to. That's rough.
Jack Armstrong
Anywho, I travel with very few jewels. Practically not. No, exactly none.
Unknown
And that's something. You're in Paris, but you got to bring $6 million worth of jewels with you so you can go out to eat at night. That's a. Some lifestyle. The other big trial going on, that one's going on in Paris. The other big one that's getting so much attention is going on in New York today. And P. Diddy's girlfriend is back on the stand. No longer. They're estranged. I believe at this point she's married.
Jack Armstrong
And has soon to be two kids with her husband.
Unknown
Yeah, she's on the stand again. And some of the testimony from that we'll get from Katie Green a little bit later as that all comes out.
Jack Armstrong
Also a couple of presidential retrospectives I'm excited about. A list of foreign gifts to the president, from elephants to inline skates, which we briefly referenced yesterday. And also a history of presidents getting played by Vladimir Putin. Yeah, embarrassing. And there's one more. Oh, the whole the plane thing is not gonna happen as we'll discuss going forward. But a handful of stories affectionately known as Bingo Bango Bongo behind the scenes. Just stuff that's worth touching on if not talking about at length. But the headline, women are drinking more. And doctors are worried. Women are experiencing rising alcohol related deaths at a much faster clip than men. Men drinking has more or less stayed the same. But women who turn 35 between 2018 and 2019 were nearly 60% more likely to report recent binge drinking or alcohol use disorder symptoms than women who turned similar age in the 90s, according to a 2023 report published in the journal Addiction. So more liver disease suspected. This could be contributing to rising rates of breast cancer and in other cancer.
Unknown
Why would that be?
Jack Armstrong
Not having kids?
Unknown
You think that's it?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I don't, I don't know that to be true. If I don't.
Unknown
Major change in that from. I mean, like we're comparing it to the 50s, sure. But compared to the 90s, has there been a major change in that?
Jack Armstrong
You. Well, yeah. Birth rates are declining and when you have children is getting older and older. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but that's indisputable, I think. And just, you know, as a dad who my kids are grown, but having to deal with children is a disincentive to get hammered in a lot of cases at a lot of times a day, you know, and just you can't if you're, you know, doing what you're supposed to do.
Unknown
I think it's culturally changed a lot too. It would have been insane, I think, like not that many years ago for moms at a little league game to have some drinky poos in their cups while they're watching. And now I think it's kind of expected.
Joe Getty
Faith of Hennessy.
Jack Armstrong
I got to admit, as a cocktail enthusiast, I'm astounded by that. I'm shocked by it. And my kids, you know, were playing sports, you know, seven to 20 years ago, so it's not like I had kids in the 1930s. Yeah. The idea of boozing at a game I would be shocked by, but maybe I'm naive. Beer spirit and wine companies have worked to bring in more women customers for the obvious reasons. Some research said the alcohol industry is marketing directly toward women.
Unknown
Country music, maybe. You blame country music.
Jack Armstrong
I certainly do. But are they marketing toward women because they are a market or did the industry create a market? Probably a bit of both. Anyway, gals, be careful. It's bad for your health, but it makes marginal looking guys better looking, trust me.
Unknown
And more interesting, makes annoying people less annoying.
Jack Armstrong
Now, I want to get to the ongoing budget negotiation stuff briefly, but a quick note. Yeah. The judge has reduced the sentence for the Menendez brothers. Their life sentence is now 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole. And indeed, there's some belief that the judge is going to turn them loose. They've served 35 years of a 50 year to life sentence now with the new sentence, have been doing lots of volunteer work, have kept their noses clean, have helped other people find themselves in prison, blah, blah.
Unknown
Haven't murdered any parents.
Jack Armstrong
Zero. Zero. Well, there's technicality there, but yeah. And so. And they've had family members come and testify. Yeah, they're good fellas. You ought to turn them loose.
Unknown
I saw that yesterday on the news. So, yeah, family members who had lived there in the house and knew mom and dad really well who are now testifying. You got to let them out. Let them out. Our family has been wrecked by this, so it'd be good for the family to let him out. What an interesting story. I haven't watched any of the Netflix stuff or been following this, so I haven't gotten pulled into the Menendez brother thing. I just kind of had been assuming all along they weren't going to get out. But Gavin Newsom's got a decision to make. From what I understand from the news last night.
Jack Armstrong
Well, here's bad news, Eric and Lyle, first of all, thanks for listening to the Armstrong and Getty show and thanks for not shotgunning anybody lately. But fellas, his decision will be based on one thing and one thing only. Will it help him get into the White House or hurt his chances to get elected president? It will have nothing to do with you, your crimes, your reform, the Lord Jesus Christ, California's laws and traditions, nothing but his lust for the Oval Office.
Unknown
Interesting. You're probably right. So do you think this helps him nationally or hurts him? Probably not a huge deal either way.
Jack Armstrong
But, yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't. I haven't thought about this case much. I haven't watched the documentaries, partly because it's become increasingly clear to me, having followed the saga of a handful of documentaries and like super popular podcasts, you can, by selectively editing and shading and leaving. Was this in leaving that out? You can wildly mislead people.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And I don't particularly feel like getting misled.
Unknown
So anyway, so you brought up a little bit ago that Republicans are becoming Democrats around this whole Medicaid thing in.
Jack Armstrong
The budget and everything that's going on, among other programs. Yeah.
Unknown
So it's kind of interesting. Today, the New York Times is a big battle going on in the opinion pages. This is in just today's New York Times. There's a guest essay by Josh Howley, the very Trumpy senator from Missouri. Don't cut Medicaid. Republicans should embrace their working class voters.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Unknown
Yeah. And then there's a guest essay from Robert F. Kennedy, Dr. Oz, and a couple other people in the Trump White House. If you want welfare and can work, you must. As leaders of the agencies that oversee the largest welfare programs in the nation. We fear that welfare has become a trap of dependency. So you got that side coming out of the Trump crowd on that. And then this guest essay. What Medicaid cuts would do to my rural hospital. Small town America depends on health care systems like mine. I'm not sure we'll be able to keep our doors open if the Republican Congress cuts Medicaid.
Jack Armstrong
I need to come up with a name for that argument because I bring it up semi regularly that the last argument is the argument that we have become so dependent.
Unknown
Right.
Jack Armstrong
On a bad perverse program, you can't end it. We must continue a bad perverse policy.
Unknown
Right. Yeah, that's what I was thinking yesterday when I was watching the governor of New Mexico on one of the Sunday shows because they have the most people on Medicaid in New Mexico of any state for some reason.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Because it's wildly liberal. So embrace the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid wholeheartedly, which then brings in lots and lots of federal dollars.
Unknown
My angle is just this happens a lot with government programs. You come up with the worst case scenario and then feel like that needs to apply to everyone forever. Because of the worst case scenario. Yeah, that's not the way to make a policy.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. What do we call it? The heroin addiction argument. Now it's easier to give up heroin than it is to give up a giant program that is funding, you know, a lot of your critical medical institutions.
Unknown
Right.
Jack Armstrong
Just because you, you let it and it's handy, it's great. It frees up money to hand out to other cronies.
Unknown
But your, your overall point is definitely right. If Josh Howley and his crowd gets the way of. Look, the Republican Party is now the party, the working class. And a lot of the working class, they want the free, the Medicare. Then there's nobody fighting for go out there and get a job that supplies you with health insurance. Nobody, nobody's pushing that idea.
Jack Armstrong
Or even just because a lot of the Republican proposals right now are a little half assed from my point of view. So to even touch it, risk somebody being able to demagogue it and say you're trying to take food out of the mouths of starving children so let's not even touch it. In fact, let's grow it. It would help with the working class. What do you think? And you've Touched on this before. There are no political parties now. The so called parties are just an expression of whoever is at their head at that point. So you can have a complete switcheroo. Are we like, I don't know, four years away from the Democrats being hardcore fiscal conservatives? Could be. If they think that's a way to take power. Nobody has any principles, right?
Unknown
Hmm.
Jack Armstrong
I think now I. You know what? I would like to announce my retirement today. I'm retiring from the world of talk radio because ideas don't matter anymore. My retirement will commence on a date nonspecific in the future. But I announced that I am quitting at some point because there's no point. I am despairing. I have just. Michael, make a note. Make a note of the time and the date. Okay. Joe despaired on May 14, 2025. It's a Wednesday. That's a good day to despair on, isn't it?
Unknown
Yeah. You know, or you could just not talk about Medicare. Leave that out of your conversation, which probably seems like a good idea to.
Jack Armstrong
Me, and pretend we're not spending our children and grandchildren into debtors prison. All right, fine, fine.
Unknown
Oh, whatever.
Jack Armstrong
Michael, make the note. Jack also despairs, apparently, about a minute later.
Unknown
One minute later.
Jack Armstrong
Well, that's. Despairing does tend to drag people with you, you know, it's. It's a vortex of gloom. True, true.
Unknown
You hang around people like that, they will suck you down.

Book, Joe Biden couldn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser last June, leaving the star, quote, shaken to his core. But don't worry, George. When Joe ran into Obama, he told him he loved him in Driving Miss Daisy.
Unknown
By the way, George Clooney then wrote an op ed about that. We all remember that. So yet I'm yet to hear one even slightly surprising nugget from that book. Even anything that even brushes up against new information. Coming up from the New York Times, the three secrets to falling in love with exercise. This could change your life.
Jack Armstrong
Please. First of all, breaking news. Breaking news. When news breaks, the donkey brays in one of the most violent political attacks toward the center in American history. Gavi Newsom, the oily one, says he wants the state of California to stop enrolling low income illegal immigrants in a state funded health care program. Newsom reverses course on tax Taxpayer funded health care for illegal immigrants.
Unknown
How bold. How bold to come out against free health care for illegals. Good lord.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Although in calunicornia, that's shocking.
Unknown
Well, you remember when he kind of hinted that maybe he thought dudes shouldn't be in girls sports and the left wing went nuts? I'll be interested to see what the if he gets attacked for this.
Jack Armstrong
Under Newsom's oily new plan, the state would not end coverage for illegal immigrants who are already enrolled in Medi Cal. However, the state would begin charging adults with, quote, unsatisfactory immigrant status.
Unknown
It's so cute.
Jack Armstrong
A monthly premium of $100 beginning in 2027.
Unknown
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
So two years from now, if you have quote, unquote unsatisfactory immigrant status, two years from now, you'll be charged a monthly $100 premium.
Unknown
Good luck running for president on illegals should get free health care.
Jack Armstrong
Just perform that program. We're taking on the challenges. We're leading the nation.
Unknown
Okay, so do I have time for this? Michael?
Jack Armstrong
It's kind of got about three minutes.
Unknown
It's kind of funny. Their headline is the opposite of kind of what they say right in the article, three secrets to Falling in Love with Exercise. And one of the secrets is don't expect to Be in love with exercise. So not.
Jack Armstrong
Sure, wait a minute.
Unknown
That makes sense. Don't try to love every moment. Many people think you should reach a point where you just love each and every second of every exercise. And you love every exercise. The idea that everybody who's exercising loves it all the time. I exercise very regularly, especially when I don't have whooping cough. But I hate it. I've ate it every second of running I've ever done in my life. I've never enjoyed one step, ever. You're doing it for other reasons, so don't expect to love it. Or I guess their point is don't think that everybody else that's doing it loves it. And there's something wrong with you. Strive for momentum, not motivation. Don't wait for the motivation to come along. Just do it on a daily basis until it becomes a habit, and then you've got momentum and it'll just carry you along as opposed to is. I just don't feel like it today. Well, that's just, you know.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that's a bad emotion. We all hate that. Oh, my God. I need to, but I don't want to. And you get past that.
Unknown
Has anybody ever regretted when they overcame that feeling? Whether it's for exercising or finally cleaning the kitchen or mowing the lawn or whatever it is?
Jack Armstrong
No, absolutely not. Right?
Unknown
And, man, it takes. Once you get over the hump and get started, it's so easy. Yeah, but that hump, man, it's quite the hump.
Jack Armstrong
And then this one, Sorry, Mel Brooks reference there.
Unknown
This one doesn't apply to me. Maybe it applies to you. Find a community. One reason that exercise makes us happy is it fosters connections, others. So join a running club or a Zumba class or whatever it is. You do it and do it with other people. That'll bring you happiness.
Jack Armstrong
Don't look at me. Don't talk to me, all right? Pretend I'm not here, please.
Unknown
When I show up to the gym and it's completely empty, I think, awesome. I don't think, oh, darn. I wish I had more people to hang out with.
Jack Armstrong
Where's my community? Yeah, well, the title of that article shouldn't be how to Fall in Love With Exercising. It ought to be how to Deal with the Arranged Marriage of Exercise. Look, he's a decent enough guy. No, I don't love him. I'm not really attracted to him. But my parents and his parents have decided it'd be a good match. So here we are. Where are the. Where are the free weights?

She lost points during the Q and A when she mentioned her charity work taking care of the elderly. Oh, the shots just keep on coming. So plenty of really serious fare important to consider coming up, including, well, this isn't that serious, but this is my favorite lead of an article I've come across in a long time lead sentence. Michael Royer has been secretly tossing his wife's socks into the trash for years.
Unknown
Secretly tossing his wife's socks in the trash for years.
Jack Armstrong
He throws away your socks clandestine sock chucker.
Unknown
Because she's wearing socks that are all.
Jack Armstrong
Worn out and he's got clutter in general. Yeah, I thought it was pretty interesting. But anyway, back to Bill Belichick and his is incredibly young pageant queen, gold digging or whatever. She's up to girlfriend, real estate something.
Unknown
Or other because she has a $8 million in real estate now at age 24. Right?
Jack Armstrong
How'd that happen?
Unknown
I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
Anyway, so she is rapidly becoming a national figure, a universally known figure who is mostly on the receiving end of jokes, which is interesting. Andrew Stiles, who writes with a pen dipped in sarcasm, I'm afraid for the Free Beacon. His headline is Jordan Hudson outshined and outclassed by a historic Transgender contestant at so called beauty pageant. Jordan Hudson, the widely despised girlfriend of cheating NFL coach Bill Belichick.
Unknown
Why is she widely despised?
Jack Armstrong
That's what I'm saying.
Unknown
I don't despise her.
Jack Armstrong
Well, you're not widely, you're just you. She's the punchline of jokes that I get. Yeah I think despised might be a little strong.
Unknown
I think so.
Jack Armstrong
I, I see what's going on. I told you he wrote with a pen dipped in sarcasm.
Unknown
Doesn't everybody see what's going on here? Seems like a trade off on both ends.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah. This is pretty funny though. The widely despised Baba placed a humiliating third over the weekend at the so called beauty pageant in Maine, one of America's least attractive states.
Unknown
Well, like I went to yesterday and then I promise I will shut up so you can get to the writing.
Jack Armstrong
But like shut up, don't. I don't care.
Unknown
Like I mentioned yesterday, I found it interesting as I read a little about the whole pageant world and how you can. All you have to do is like get a post office box for a certain amount of time and you can compete in that state as if you're from that state. And there's a bunch of women that are constantly like, you finish second in Maine next year, you know, you establish a post office box in Indiana and compete there and hope that you win so that you can go to the. And it's just, you know that that's just that world.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. It reminds me of like your amateur championships in golf. The guy who wins the California State am might be from Missouri, for instance.
Unknown
Yeah. And it's not always that way. I remember when I, when I was in college, the local girl from Colby, Kansas, she won Miss Colby. Sit down with 7,000 people. She won the county fair thing and then the state and then became Miss American. It was a really big deal. So every once in a while that does happen.
Jack Armstrong
Back when there was purity to American beauty pageants.
Unknown
Doesn't seem incredibly tawdry. I mean, beauty pageants are d. Anyway, anyway, back to your story.
Jack Armstrong
Howell and second place contestant, the winner, Eva Benjamin, are significantly classier and more attractive than Hudson. According to a Washington Free Beacon analysis, the top two finishers were not the only contestants who outshone Hudson in terms of class and attractiveness. Isabel Saint Cyr, who absolutely slayed as the first trans queen in pageant history, finished in the top 10 on paper. But some beauty experts were stunned that she placed behind Hudson, who does not openly identify as trans. A minute, wait a minute. Let's see. Hudson, a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, earned second place at the Ms. Main competition in 2024. So she slid now to third because.
Unknown
The trans person jumped in there.
Jack Armstrong
Let's see. The University of North Carolina, where Belichick serves as the head football coach, reportedly banned Hudson from attending practices. Quote, she is the worst person I've dealt with on this earth. And I've dealt with actual sociopaths. A person close to the situation. Sports journalist Pablo Torre.
Unknown
Oh, my God. Maybe there's more to this than I thought.
Jack Armstrong
Members of Belichick's family are deeply worried about how detrimental this is a quote. How detrimental Jordan can be, not just for North Carolina, but Bill's legacy, reputation, everything he has built and worked for over decades. That's a quote. According to Tory, the sports journalist, who has also reported that Hudson has attempted, with varying degrees of success, to force her way into commercials starring Belichick by showing up on set and demanding to be on camera.
Unknown
I imagine his response, whether he said it out loud or not, is, I know what I'm doing. I'm an old man. I'm in love with a young, hot woman. I'm having the time of my life.
Jack Armstrong
I got money, what she wants, I'm getting what I want.
Unknown
I got money. I got everything. I got however many years of, you know, life left. I'm as happy right now as I've been ever.
Jack Armstrong
So shut up, Nunya. Yeah, I wonder. I wonder. So speaking of relationships, Michael Royer has been secretly, secretly tossing his wife's socks into the trash for years. Not her everyday pairs, but the size 14 ones her mom orders as gifts from fast fashion sites like Tamu.
Unknown
Your wife. Your wife wears size 14 socks.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's funny.
Unknown
You're married to Sasquatch.
Jack Armstrong
I read this and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, journalist dude. That sentence raises more questions than provides answers, right? Number one, does the woman has size 14ft or not? No. Okay. Why the hell is her mom ordering her gigantic socks from Chinese fast fashion outfits? This is, this is the article. You've missed the article, you know, long, long, long ago, Dan Hughes, who was a teacher at Parkland Community College in Champagne, Illinois, who taught the one radio class I ever took, he was doing a unit about interviewing. And again, a wonderful guy and a wonderful teacher. But he said, you hear this all the time. Interviewers who don't listen, they just are so busy contemplating their next question. And his, his example was something the effect of. When did you discover the joints of coin collecting? Well, I think it was when I was abducted by aliens and I was probed for a number of hours, and they handed me a coin on my way out of the spaceship. And I've loved coin collecting ever since. Really? How many coins do you have? That's pretty funny. And I. I feel like that sentence is. Is of a similar order yeah. But anyway, this guy buries her her oddly gigantic socks under garbage to avoid detection because she'll never wear them. Uh, and it's a big article about how clutter can be an emotional like weapon or turf. Well weapon, turf gathering technique used in relationships. And I read this whole article. Here's one guy's got a bunch of GI Joe action figures and comic books hauled from his parents house now competing for space with clothing his wife bought on sale. Bob, much of it has never been worn. I got through this article thinking man, these are a bunch of crazy people.
Unknown
Well on just the clothes thing though, I think that in every relationship there is likely to be stuff where there are things she wears you'd rather she didn't. Not your favorite and vice versa.
Jack Armstrong
Or ridiculously worn T shirts. I'm raising my hand over here but I don't want to get rid of it because one of my kids gave it to me or that was you know, the first radio station we ever worked at together or whatever. And I think I'm not gonna toss that T shirt. But yeah, kind of warned but in.
Unknown
Terms of actually wearing something, I mean there's all, you know, there's probably things Judy likes to see you in more than others. Yes, but not might not say it's not my favorite pair of pants you ever wear or something.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. So here's another aspect of this, another. A weird avenue.
Unknown
Here's a couple size 14 socks.
Jack Armstrong
Why is her mother over her gigantic socks? What is she trying to say? I mean socks so patently useless and gigantic you throw them away and she doesn't notice. That is your story.
Unknown
No kidding.
Jack Armstrong
Not that these folks in, in this twist have a probationary zone started as a single empty drawer and is now grown to. So you can put stuff in there that I think we ought to get rid of. You ought to get rid of. And it stays in there for a couple of months and when the area is full then you go through it strikes me as a little formalistic and.
Unknown
Odd but you know, my plan is I hope that I die before I ever have to get to any of that stuff. And then somebody else will, I don't know, halt, charge somebody to halt to the dump. I'm never gonna make those decisions. And while I'm alive, Joe Getty's wife.
Jack Armstrong
Occasionally goes into his, his closet and throws away the doll sized pants that his sister orders him. Oh boy, here's, here's another one. Here's this 80 year old gal, she enlists her daughter in law to Smuggle out stuff her husband wouldn't want to part with. I mean, that's going to be a problem. Although, you know, you're like smuggling my stuff out of the house under the COVID of our loved ones.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Put this in your person, get rid of it. On the other hand, they mentioned that this guy's accumulated over a thousand golf balls on his walks near a local course.
Unknown
Yeah. I'm not good at throwing stuff away, so I've had it happen before where things got thrown away without my consent. And I kind of think, yeah, kind of glad that happened.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Unknown
Because I just know I'm gonna pull the trigger for some reason.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I just thought it was interesting that at some point some marriage counselor or somebody weighs in and says, yes, this can. This can be a proxy for emotional space in the relationship.
Unknown
Some probably three time divorced marriage counselor.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, probably. So, yes, he likes to dominate the closet with his GI Joes as a way of symbolizing that he needs more. All right, hey, you know what? And. And it's funny with like the GI Joes. Well, they did. They're gaining in value. They could really be worth something someday. You know what else could be an index fund. Put your money in an index fund and empty your damn closet.
Unknown
I'm looking right out here at New York Post headline right here. Chat GPT is my therapist and it's more qualified than the human could be. You should give it a whirl.
Jack Armstrong
I'm using it to plan a vacation right now. It's like I'm in love. I'm so enthused about it.
Unknown
I do want to maybe kick off our three with this. A couple of things Trump said yesterday. I'll be interested to see if you agree or not. He gave a major presidential foreign policy speech in the Middle east about the way America has been interacting with the world over the last, well, our adult lives.

Hey everybody. So when you get asked what is Odoo? What comes to mind? Well, I'll tell you, Odoo is a bit of everything. Odoo is a suite of business management software that some people say is like fertilizer because of the way it promotes growth. But, you know, some people also say that Odoo is like a magic beanstalk because it grows with your company and is also magically affordable.
Unknown
Ooh. But then again, you could look at Odoo in terms of how its individual.
Jack Armstrong
Software programs are a lot like building blocks.

Which means that Odoo is exactly what every business needs. Learn more and sign up now@odoo.com that's O-O-O.com. major League Baseball removed its lifetime ban on 17 deceased people, including Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, two of the most famous players previously banned for gambling on Major League Baseball. In response to an application filed by Pete Rose's family, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred wrote, quote, obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game, unquote. This means Rose and anyone who gets a lifetime ban can now become eligible for hall of Fame consideration after they die. They still, of course, have to get voted into the hall of Fame.
Unknown
Key thing is, you have to die, though.
Jack Armstrong
So, yeah, step one.
Unknown
Kind of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it?
Jack Armstrong
15 other guys. That's interesting. I wonder who they were. I'm sure that information's available. Yeah. Secondly, I wonder if Jake Tapper is about to write a book about how he's just discovered that Pete Rose was a great hitter, but he gambled.
Unknown
Yeah. More on that later. Quickly, off the top of your head. Don't think about it for more than two seconds. How old is Honey Boo Boo?
Jack Armstrong
28.
Unknown
She's 19.
Jack Armstrong
Okay.
Unknown
She's only 19 because she's pretty young kid. When she became famous in Toddlers and Tiaras was the original show. She was one of those pageant girls. And then she had such a personality that they turned it into a reality show. Here comes Honey Boo Boo that focused.
Jack Armstrong
Specifically on her and her obese mom.
Unknown
She just did an interview with People magazine. I'm reading this, actually, from Fox News in which she says she never saw a single dime of money from that TLC reality show. Her mom took it all.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Mama June, right?
Unknown
Mama June, who is kind of a train wreck, drug addict, spent all the money, bad person. And it seems like Honey Boo Boo is actually doing pretty well, and is the. This is a very common thing. A lot of you probably know this. In super dysfunctional families, there's often one kid that for whatever reason, just doesn't follow the pattern and understands they're in mayhem from a very young age and gets out of it. And Honey Boo Boo seems to be.
Jack Armstrong
One of those people and decides my life's not going to be like, yes.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, she seems to be. Yeah, it is sucks that she, you know, was clearly the driving force of that whole thing and all the money was taken.
Jack Armstrong
Including her mom by that moniker anymore.
Unknown
No, but when she. She was in Dancing with the Stars a few years back and got $35,000 for that. But Mama June stole that also.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my.
Unknown
Nice job, Mama June. Yes, Katie, you have a Honey Boo Boo comment.
Jack Armstrong
Yes. It looks like Mama June has a new show called Mama June Family Crisis. Yeah. All right. Oh, boy, you are scraping the true mong at the bottom of the barrel with that.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Who. Who's watching that?
Unknown
Oh, I'm amazed by who watches. There's so much content of every kind and a lot of people who have, you know, a million followers or make this much money or whatever. And I think, how are there enough people taking in enough content for all of these different things?
Jack Armstrong
And how do you find it? That's, you know, the good stuff. But I guess it's because everybody has access to it all the time, so the math works somehow.
Unknown
Like, for instance, I was, I was on a guitar lesson thing yesterday that came across my YouTube feed. This is actually kind of interesting. But he's a big deal in the, in the, in the guitar lesson world. He's basically at a TV show as a charming, good looking guy where he gives guitar lessons and he's got several million followers and clearly makes looking at his house and his lifestyle pretty good. Pretty good living off of this. Anyway, he called out a number of fake famous YouTube guitar players, and I'm sure this is true with other instruments too.
Jack Armstrong
Who.
Unknown
It's all fake. They, they. They record everything at a slow speed, then speed it up and then act like they can play this stuff and then try to sell people guitarless. And it's become a thing within that world of like, people really hating each other, everything like that, making serious enemies. But that's a thing you can do, apparently. You could, like, I could play the piano incredibly slowly, then speed it up, stay on pitch, because you can do that. And then, and then make it look like I can play. Like.
Jack Armstrong
You know, if you talk to some, you Know chimp scientists, whatever you call them, biologists, I guess. And ask them, why would chimps fight? They could give you like five, six reasons that haven't changed in a thousand years. Human beings invent new reasons to hate each other every day.
Unknown
Right.
Jack Armstrong
Might be our greatest gift. Our big old brains. That's what we spend each our time doing. Coming up with reasons to hate people.
Unknown
But there's got to be a limit to content creators. Even with good content that there's an audience for it isn't there? Doesn't there have to be? Or we just spend so much time looking at our phones or our screens that there's just.
Jack Armstrong
Well. Right. There are many, many, many, many podcasts out there. Yeah. Are probably pretty good. Never get anywhere.
Unknown
But there are an awful lot of them that have a lot of listeners and make a lot of money.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Unknown
And we do well ourselves and thank.
Jack Armstrong
God we have no other skills.
Unknown
Thank God that there's enough people out there who want to listen to it or then read all the long pieces that are out there and all the different sub stacks and stuff and just. I just don't understand how it all gets taken in.
Jack Armstrong
I'm gonna spend my afternoon making fake I'm a brilliant violinist videos. Just gonna like like air violin with an actual violin along with like exquisite playing and. And see how much hate I get online.
Unknown
Wear a tuxedo, make very serious faces.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah. Yeah. Kind of put my hair in my face to look like some sort of. I don't care. Musical genius. I love it.
Unknown
Exactly.
Jack Armstrong
More to come.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand: "You're Married To Sasquatch!!"
Release Date: May 14, 2025
The episode kicks off with Jack Armstrong delving into the high-profile trial of Kim Kardashian, who faced serious accusations related to a 2016 jewelry heist in Paris. Armstrong highlights the gravity of Kardashian's testimony, emphasizing that she believed her life was in danger during the incident.
[03:17] Jack Armstrong: "Kardashian in Paris facing the suspects in court. They're accused of stealing more than $6 million in jewelry during the heist in 2016."
Armstrong critiques the public's tendency to dismiss Kardashian's ordeal as a mere publicity stunt, questioning the empathy often afforded to celebrities.
[04:03] Unknown Speaker: "She legit had a gun to her head and thought she was going to die and had every reason to. That's rough."
Shifting focus, the hosts discuss alarming trends in alcohol consumption among women, referencing a 2023 report from the journal Addiction. The study indicates a significant increase in binge drinking and alcohol use disorder symptoms among women aged 35 between 2018 and 2019 compared to those in their 30s during the 1990s.
[04:38] Jack Armstrong: "Women are experiencing rising alcohol-related deaths at a much faster clip than men."
The conversation explores potential factors contributing to this surge, including declining birth rates and cultural shifts that make alcohol consumption more socially acceptable in various settings.
[06:07] Unknown Speaker: "Birth rates are declining and when you have children getting older, it's getting harder to manage drinking habits."
Armstrong and Getty delve into the recent legal developments surrounding the Menendez brothers, who have seen their life sentences reduced, making them eligible for parole after serving 35 years of a 50-year-to-life sentence.
[07:50] Jack Armstrong: "The judge has reduced the sentence for the Menendez brothers... They've been doing lots of volunteer work and helping others in prison."
The hosts express skepticism about the likelihood of their release, particularly in light of political figures' potential influences on judicial decisions.
[09:02] Jack Armstrong: "His decision will be based on one thing and one thing only. Will it help him get into the White House or hurt his chances to get elected president?"
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the evolving landscape of Medicaid policies and the shifting stances of political parties. The hosts analyze recent opinion pieces from the New York Times, noting a surprising trend where traditionally conservative figures advocate for expanding Medicaid.
[10:10] Unknown Speaker: "Republicans should embrace their working-class voters... Don't cut Medicaid."
Armstrong criticizes the use of worst-case scenarios as a justification to maintain or expand government programs, labeling it a flawed policy-making approach.
[12:06] Jack Armstrong: "Just because you let it and it's handy, it's great. It frees up money to hand out to other cronies."
The discussion underscores the fluidity of political ideologies, suggesting that party principles may be increasingly influenced by leadership aspirations rather than steadfast beliefs.
Jack Armstrong candidly shares his frustrations with the current state of talk radio, expressing a desire to retire due to a perceived decline in meaningful discourse.
[13:31] Unknown Speaker: "I would like to announce my retirement today. I'm retiring from the world of talk radio because ideas don't matter anymore."
This confession sets the tone for a deeper contemplation on the role of media and the importance of substantive conversations in shaping public opinion.
The hosts transition to discussing recent events in the beauty pageant world, focusing on Jordan Hudson, the girlfriend of NFL coach Bill Belichick. Hudson's third-place finish at the Miss Maine pageant has sparked controversy, especially concerning the inclusion of transgender contestants.
[28:25] Unknown Speaker: "Jordan Hudson is rapidly becoming a national figure, a universally known figure who is mostly on the receiving end of jokes."
Armstrong and Getty critique the pageant system, questioning the authenticity and fairness of contestants' placements, while also highlighting societal attitudes towards transgender participants.
[29:02] Jack Armstrong: "The trans person jumped in there and finished behind Hudson, who does not openly identify as trans."
In a lighter yet insightful segment, the discussion shifts to Honey Boo Boo and her tumultuous relationship with her mother, Mama June. The hosts explore how dysfunctional family dynamics can impact personal growth and public perception.
[44:10] Unknown Speaker: "Honey Boo Boo seems to be one of those people who decides, 'My life's not going to be like this.'"
They delve into Mama June's financial mismanagement and its effects on Honey Boo Boo's career and personal life, emphasizing the challenges of breaking free from a controlling environment.
[45:43] Jack Armstrong: "He throws away your socks clandestinely because she'll never wear them. That's your story."
Towards the end of the episode, Armstrong and Getty reflect on the overwhelming abundance of digital content, particularly in the realm of YouTube and online tutorials. They express skepticism about the authenticity of many content creators and the divisive nature of online communities.
[47:01] Unknown Speaker: "It's all fake. They record everything at a slow speed, then speed it up and act like they can play this stuff."
The hosts ponder the sustainability of content creation and the psychological toll it takes on both creators and consumers, questioning how audiences discern quality amidst the noise.
As the episode wraps up, Armstrong humorously contemplates creating fake violinist videos to gauge online reactions, highlighting the blurred lines between authenticity and performance in digital spaces.
[48:37] Jack Armstrong: "I'm gonna spend my afternoon making fake brilliant violinist videos... and see how much hate I get online."
This playful idea serves as a metaphor for the broader themes discussed throughout the episode, emphasizing the importance of genuine engagement and the challenges of maintaining integrity in a saturated media landscape.
