Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty
and now he Armstrong and Getty. You're listening to the

(00:23):
final live Armstrong and Getty Show of twenty twenty five.
Later this hour, we'll be playing the top ten clips
of the year and naming the clip of the year
we got this text. My vote for clip of the
year would be Jack's frustration with fitted sheets. Now, I
don't think either one of us talking has ever been
a clip of the year, which is kind of interesting. Really.

(00:43):
I just listened to our one and it made me
realize how stressed out this year has been. Not getting
weird and getting weird fast, but getting hostile and getting
hostile fast. That's interesting. Yeah, thanks Liberals. Then I have
to go home and make my bed, and there's no
less than two turns of the fitted sheet before I
get it right, which obviously, statistically is seems undoable. But

(01:04):
it happens to me every time, just icing on the
crap cake of the day. So Jack Spray stays in
my head every time I make my bed the crap
cake of the day, putting on a finish seat is
the most annoying thing in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
And to add briefly to that, it was pointed out
online that this year and this is perfect to get
back into the year the eclipse of the year. This
year is the ten year anniversary of Taban's Law, which
is one of the smartest things ever posted in any
social media. Taban's Law is things have not gotten as
stupid as they are going to get.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
In that spirit, it's October, the clips of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
This can be done the easy way, it can be
done the hard way.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I have a feeling that we're going to have a
positive answer.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Both the Israel and Hamas have signed on to the
first phase of his twenty point peace plan.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
You guys have to say to President Trump.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Twenty newly freed hostages and their families, hug, cry, kiss,
screen and pray.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
I really command President Trump.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
I'd commend the Qataris, the Egyptians, and the President.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
That we need at least fifty percent of the Palestinian
government to be trans women.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Despite all we've achieved. I cannot continue my re election campaign.
This is not a job for a first timer.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Any day, you gotta have a hurricane and you are
a health pandemic. And if we have a health pandemic,
then why would New Yorkers turn back to the governor
who sent seniors to their death and nursing homes.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
Hurrigans coming together and queens and Brooklyn.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
But also you know, it was also about paying the bills, man,
and it was just like hustling.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

Speaker 7 (03:07):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans bolts.

Speaker 1 (03:11):

Speaker 8 (03:15):
It, and is it helpful?

Speaker 1 (03:18):

I'm not ready to die yet.

Speaker 9 (03:48):
Probably happy to Mary woman, what are you talking about it?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Don't say here next week? Don't no one have mystery
to me? You golf teaches you very good life lessons.

Jones sent texts that imagine shooting the Republican Speaker of
the House.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Can you tell me why my phone records when I'm
the chairman of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the
Jack Smith agents.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
What do you say to the forty percent of California
voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted
for Trump? How would I need them in order to win?

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Man?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well to those voters?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay, so you I don't want to keep doing this,
I'm gonna call it.

Speaker 1 (04:38):

Speaker 5 (04:40):
State could lose.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
You're out of my phone shot. So what that's October?
That was the Katie Porter Miltbown.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, or just halfway through October? Yeah, yeah, I think
there may be a major Mumdani oversight in clips of
the not faulting anybody. It's a tremendous amount of work.
Mistakes happen. Flies are told.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm I'm sensing finger pointing.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Maybe one or two fingers, but no more than that.
Let's plunge John further into October. It's I found look
back at the year that was It's coy clips of
the year, and tif is I uh toilt this flag
from that man that was burning it in the streets.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
Giv it to the Attorney General and let's start prosecutions.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
One of the things I've been dealing with all day
here in Portland is a bunch of.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Pansies Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taking
into custody.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
These operatives included capos and multiple soldiers from the Banano Gambino,
lou Casey and Genevieve's crime families.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom gets underway.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
The rice Donald Trump is literally destroying the People's house.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Tailly Norwood is an AI generated actress game attention and
drawing swift backlash.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm transcendigenous?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Are you sis? American?

Speaker 6 (06:09):
No more identity months dei offices dudes in dresses.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
We are done with that.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
I will up every day as a as a black
woman who is queer.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
But if you are a one or two X, you
are small fat.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Read a four X you are mid fat.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Five to six X you are super fat. Climate is
a super important problem. We have to frame it in
terms of overall human welfare.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
In urgent search to find three lab monkeys still on
the loose.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
We.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Put your paints on servest.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
Tell you.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Savage, that fabulous world series. It was so much fun
to watch, even though it didn't turn out the way
I wanted to. God, that was a fun time. And
then I'd forgotten about the escaped diseased monkeys and the
guy who had clearly had his tongue chewed off by
a monkey given us the report on it at the beginning.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right. That was the Mississippi monkeys, not to be confused
with the South Carolina monkeys, which were in twenty twenty four.
I don't know so many Southern monkeys running around biting people.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And we forgot to comment on that guy from the
earlier October clip who said the new government hum in
Gaza needed to be half trans women.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, yes, a goal hair to four are so far unrealized, Jack, Okay,
So here's the only oversight I want to point out.
I was I'm looking through a different year end list.
And October was the month that Zorn Mumdami fought back
tears while recalling how his aunt was the real victim

(08:11):
of the nine to eleven terrorist attacks and she stopped
taking the subway because she did not feel safe in
her hit job, even though she wasn't in New York
and she may not have existed at all.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
We got to get to November so that we can
you know, get to December and then we can get
to the name and the clip of the year. But
we are overlooking I think a major development that happened
in twenty five that hasn't gotten enough attention. We'll have
to hit on that too, So all on the way
stay here. So the last round of clips of the

(08:47):
year from October is that what we just did featured
something that I think will be remembered for a long time.
So a lot of the clips we've played from the year,
you know, nobody's ever going to think about him again.
This Epstein crap in the romance and the breakup between
Elon and Trump and Sydney Sweeney's jeans and stuff like that,
just crap. Bill Gates coming out and saying the whole

(09:09):
climate change, let's move on, and you know, in a
related story Monday this week, FOURD announced we're done with
electric vehicles, done after the biggest investment they'd ever made. So,
you know, the whole climate change electric car stuff, this
was a major year for that change in directions, no doubt.

(09:30):
Yeah it will aspects of this will endure it, but
they'll be much more realistic. They won't be governed by rhetoric,
They'll be governed by logic. I would certainly hope anyway,
let's plunge ahead. It's time for November, the clips of
the year, the greatest and most dramatic INK seven in
World series history.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
That one is bye byes. I'm ready to get another.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
RAS. Japan is grappling with a grizzly problem, deadly bear attacks,
and Paris prosecutors now say amateurs, not professionals, carried out
the heist at the Loop God woking.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Up at six forty five Saturday morning, he goes wrong.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Get your boots on you, let's go walking.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
My little one is one of the word ice cream,
and she made me make sure I promised her to
get her ice stream when I get back home from
the drip.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
That being said nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing. I say,
it comes in to fake me, that little girl in
her ice cream. He says, excuse me, sir, so mis
gendering me right away. If you're not a woman, that's obvious.
This is a police matter.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
I'm a woman and every right to not want a
man in the restroom.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know I'm naked we need to protect one safety.
I was assault No, they are not.

Speaker 9 (10:50):
They are men.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I was assaulted. My man. Americans will lose one hundred
and thirty five billion pounds by the midterms. I don't
measure it pounds. I measure and save lives. It's actually funny.
It was December eighteenth. I remember because that's an important
date to me, as Joseph Stalin's birthday. I'm a fan

(11:11):
character AI, a bot generating app that connects users with
fictional bought friends, ended up.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
With the bots initiating romantic kissing.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
We also have to work those sort of the dark side,
if you will. When the day starts with Dick Chady
being dead, it ends with mom Donnie winning.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yes, so hear me, President Trump when I say this,
to get to any of us.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
You will have to get through all of us. Every
twenty years or so.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
We need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we
can crack it up again. Nothing I dislike more than
the politician that sits there in last year tread tread.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
When some branded people inhaling, they're exhaling what they're done inhaling.

Speaker 9 (12:09):
It's dread doctor, that's I know.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
If it were a little longer, i'd have to nominate
myself for the It's not a trend rant. Everything that
happens to people do in America is the new trend.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
We have to worry about.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I think the George will every twenty years we need
an experiment in socialism ought to be one of the
Clips of the Year nominees.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's a.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Very true it's a very true statement in terms of
enormous significance that trend.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, that's right up there. That'll be fun to watch
in twenty six how the whole Mondani thing goes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, So let's plunge on in November. It's kind of
fun because I think we all can remember these little
more clearly than some of the stuff early in the year,
and November was a blockbuster month.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Here it is Clips of the Year.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
You don't want to talk about EPs, We say no no.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
The House passed a bill compelling the Justice Department to
release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
But in twenty.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Thirty he's not going to be the president, and you
will have voted to protect pedophiles.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
I was called a trader by a man that I
fought for five No, actually six years.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
For I don't think her life is in danger.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I don't think frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
The longest government shut down in American history could be
coming to an end.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Democrats nationwide feeling about Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think the word of the day is terrible. No
way to defend this. You are right to be angry.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
I.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Kenna, I didn't believe it.

Speaker 7 (14:07):
Turmoil at Britain's premiere broadcaster with President Trump right in
the middle.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be
there with you and we fight. We fight like.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Hell here they died here.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
They play a bunch of fashions in the ben Hey, Optimist,
Do you know where I can get a coke? I
can take you to the kitchen if you want to
check for a coke there. Oh yeah, that'd be great. Go, yes,
let's do that.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's gonna be a great grandmother.

Speaker 9 (14:37):
Oh, Charley, congratulations.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
A fictional employee named Kyle was having an affair with
a coworker named Jessica. Right away, the AI decided to
blackmail Kyle.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
And your voice sounds a little rough for your filling
our I feel great.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I was shouting at people because uh, they were stupid.

Speaker 8 (14:59):
Boy.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
The US Intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder
of a.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Journalist, you could asking him a horrible, insubordinate and just
a terrible question. I grab that hand.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't give a hell where that hand's been.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I grabbed that hand.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
It is a flying ID and so this id ied
ID imprimised explosive device.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
They're cheap. You can three D print them at home.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
President Trump facing some backlash after accusing some Democrats of what.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
He calls seditious behavior punishable by death. You can refuse
illegal orders.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
You can refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You must refuse illegal orders. Lanquis say, the letter T
is being dropped from words like kitten, mountain and interview.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
But right now the fighters strip off their gloves and
sit down.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
This is chest boxing. You guys are effing hacks. I
hope you go off the air soon because radio is dead,
and you suck wow clips of the year. Two things
stood out to me. I already had forgotten that the

(16:12):
shutdown even happened, longest shutdown in US history. Didn't even
remember that it even happened.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh really, I was just rubbing salve on my scars
from the shutdown. Please also that whole you don't have
to follow orders crap a similar sort of vein. I
guess Whoopy Goldberg just sat on the view that that
seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars Trump promised to send
to everybody in the military is a bribe, so they'll

(16:40):
follow his orders when he shuts down the twenty twenty
eight presidential election. Oh, that'll totally work too. Whoopee, it
got to the bottom. You have figured it out. You
found him out way to go.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Whoopee.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Jeez, Louise, that is so stupid.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
That is really stupid.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
So I have actually scrolled through and looked, but I'll
bet if I did, I would find out this is true.
I think Epstein came up every damn month, multiple times.
What wegan news coverage.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
In a waste of ink and airtime.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
One more month December than the selection of the clip
of the year.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Very exciting stuff. It's on the way and if you
miss any of it at the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand Armstrong and Getty, We are twenty twenty five
coming to a close, at least for the Armstrong in
Getty Show. We are a quarter of a century of
the way into this century, which, if you're of a
certain age, seems crazy. Seems crazy.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I would agree, yeah completely. Speaking of crazy, we're going
to go nuts this segment. We're going to play the
two segments of December back to back, so we can
then play the finalists for the Clip of the Year
for you. We'll take a brief and fascinating commercial break
and then come back with the winner and our final
notes on the year.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
So back to back at Michael, let's do it December.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's the clips of the year.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hey, it's scary.

Speaker 3 (18:04):

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Sharon Moore overnight basically being fired and then detained by police.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Lucia has boss. We're back into Europe and if you

great grandparents and George something about it exciting me. And
it's kind of one of those deals.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
The door opens and you can either walk through it
and find out if you can do it or run
from it.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Forty seven yard trying now by young way Coty struggled
pray three, it's I don't like I've ever seen that
old women are annoying if you ever had sex? No,
absolutely not. Wow, since the guy who's never got light,
so I wrote, it's not a terrible theory, and it
text to me back he killed my dad. My god,

(19:19):
if I.

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Had just said, like, there's only one thing you can
ever have for the rest of time, which admittedly would
be a but monotonous, but it would probably be a cheeseburger.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
And everybody talks about this place me in a dad
gum swamp. It's not a swamp. This is a sewer.
This is created by my end. We're the United States
of America. That's where we are. Eleven months ago. I
inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it. I wonder what
grade you would give A plus A plus.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
A plus plus plus plus plus.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Wages Just look at it.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Wages are going up much faster than inflation.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
How big is that?

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Had you got a bunch of geese together, they're hawking.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
In the air clips of their so did Gary Busey
make the list because man, that's a pretty good clip.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
We'll have to talk about it. You've got a little
more December to play, Jack, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Clips of the year well by partisan alarm over President
Trump's escalating military campaign in the Caribbean Sea. This is
called the fog of war.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
What I saw in that room was one of the
most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
No, I didn't say anything disturbing about it. Do you
think that the video should be released in full to
the American public? Yeah, but whatever they have we certainly released,
no problem. Senator.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Have you seen the video?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
I have seen the video. You have seen the classified video. No,
I've not seen the actual video. The Binar Justice Department
called it the largest COVID fraud scheme in the country.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
This also has an impact on Somali's omar.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Is Garbage Jesus Garbage.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
The worst mass shooting in Australia since nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
They were pursed on top of a pedestrian bridge when
they started shooting.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Sources say they pledged allegiance to ISIS and sheuted Aluapa
while opening fire. New video shows the moment police stored
in nearby library. On Saturday, students terrified hands in the air.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
The Rhina family statement confirming that those killed were indeed
the director himself and his wife, Miss Michelle. They were
last seat together Saturday night at O'Brien's holiday party, where.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Argued Nick Reiner has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner. That
was haunting. And now we're going to take a break
in the heavy work starts where weil nail down the
final well.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I think we're going to play the nominees first and
then we will take a break and the heavy work begins. Yes,
there's more light work to be done. So we have
distilled down the list of great clips for the year.
We will play those and then consider our options.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
How many nominees do we have. That's a lot more
than I thought.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
We better get to it. Here the nominees for the
twenty twenty five clip. But it's like the Oscars, there's
too damn many of them.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Clip of the Year, Rising Threads. The country is on
edge after a deadly New Year's Day terror attack that
investigators say was inspired by Haisten.

Speaker 7 (23:07):

we're gonna freak out over every last tweet or every
least conversation or press conference.

changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the
Gulf of America.

Are you supportive all these this clothing.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Which is militantly anti vaccine?

Speaker 7 (24:16):
We have to be responsible how we do this. We
have to build it carefully. But I think people are
really good and people will do on balance, incredible things
with this technology.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, do you want to try this first exercise for me?

Speaker 5 (24:28):

World War three.

And four legged robot wolves designed to locate mines and
hunt down soldiers.

Speaker 1 (25:10):

my testy? Two mashed potatoes on my car? What is
wrong with you? You sit here, you drive in, you
drive out. You have jump cars, You drive in and
you drive out.

Speaker 8 (25:50):
That's what people do. Then they're driveways.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Clipsal ah. Two people hating each other. That's what Christmas
is all about.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
So I have a revolutionary thought, this is this is
I'm a disruptor. Here like Elon Musk, I feel like
we're choosing between Like it's the Westminster Dog Show and
there's dogs and also fast food restaurants, and we're trying
to give an award to pick one of two very

(26:21):
different things. I guess what I'm driving at is should we,
whether this year or next, have a clip of the
year for historical significance and one for hilarity. I don't
know that's a good question best actor, best actress. Maybe

(26:43):
in the January eighteenth, when we have our meeting about
this to plan for the next year, you can present
this and make a motion and then someone will second it,
and then we will vote on it.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I just how do you choose between?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I mean, for instance, the you don't have any cards
gambling with worldwide.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Historically, that is a clip that will be remembered maybe forever,
depending on how things turn out.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
When Europe is torn apart by war starting in twenty
twenty six, for instance.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah. I mean, at the same.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Time, there are a clip or two really, just one
that every time everybody hears it they laugh out loud
the one hundred and fiftieth time. I'm just saying I'm
lobbying a little bit the one hundred and fiftieth time
I hear the clip about the driveway, I will laugh
out loud.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right, Okay, well, we will pick a winner, and we'll
come back and say, oh goodbyes, and we'll wrap up
another year of the Armstrong and Getty Show. So stay
here Strong, hey, So before we get to the what
we think is the clip of the year with Joe's

(27:53):
caveat that maybe in the future we'll have to have
an impactful news clip of the year versus an entertainment
clip of the year, right, or at least.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
An asterisk, like when a trans dude wins Miss Argentina,
the asterisk will say is a dude.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
It's like the Golden Globes have they have. You can
win a Golden Globe for Best Comedy and then win
Best Picture for something else drama, but oscars you don't.
Everything's added together. So you want to go more Golden
Globes in the future. You think I died, I'm suggesting it. Yes,
So I had one more prediction I wanted to get
and I think I picked a good number for an
over under this time next year, will Trump be above

(28:32):
or below forty two percent? Approval? Below? You think he'll
be below forty two next year. Yeah. The trend is
not good.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
He is not getting more disciplined and more in tune
with a wise strategy. He's gotten more id and less
super ego.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Wow, Okay, well that'll be something because I don't want that.
I hope I'm wrong. I pray him I'll be getting
close to the thirties if that happens. So, just going
through our predictions on Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, we
all agree they're going to have a baby announcement this year.
That's my answer. On the wars, both wars. I'm talking

(29:14):
to Russia, Ukraine and Israel and the whole Gaza thing.
I think both of them are going to be more
peaceful a year from now. Where were you on that?
I was a Ukraine back to full on war and
Gosam more peaceful a year from now, will be more
scared of AI or less scared? More you think more,
I'm not sure. I really don't know. I hope less. Well,

(29:39):
if it's more who takes the house, everybody agrees Democrats
are taking the house, and then yeah, I don't want
to do that one. No one's boring.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Fair enough, Yeah, well, the discussion has been had at
the highest level, and though there is great historical significance,
probably to the Trump Zelensky meeting, and how that symbolizes
the whole discussion of the whole effort to bring peace

(30:16):
to Europe, which may or may not be successful.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
And if it's not, God help us all.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
In spite of that, we're gonna opt for smiles and
laughter and amusement once again this year. This is the
full version of the clip. We're gonna play, ladies and gentlemen.
You're twenty twenty five clip of the Year.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
What mashed potatoes on the side of my car?

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Here?

Speaker 8 (30:39):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Or didn't you? Because I've got cameras up there facing you.
Get up, yes, in the Broadway now this is the
middle you are get up the live parking area.

Speaker 8 (30:53):
Listen, did you throw grass food on the side of
my test?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Why does you throw fast food on the side of
my test? You threw mashed potatoes on my car? What
is wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Here?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
You drive in, you drive out. You have jump cars,
you drive.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
It and you drive out. That's why people do.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Then they're driveways you more. It's no, it's priceless. It's
not less good than the first time I ever heard of.
I think it's better every time. How he's clearly the
calm one. She it's with you drive in, you drive out,
and just blanks how well you're driving and you drive out.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
That's why people do then their driveways.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
He was able to stay the grown up through. Look,
there's a camera, I have it on film. You threw
mashed potatoes on my car. Get off my side of
the driveway. Not on the side of the driveway. Why
did you throw mess potatoes in my car?

Speaker 8 (31:54):
Get up?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
But you're right what she hits with me.

Speaker 8 (32:00):
You drive in, you drive outway, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
As close to perfection. I think one of the reasons
it's so appealing is because we all can. We've all
been in that situation where you're trying to keep your
cool in the face of a lunatic who makes no sense,
right right, You kind of want to go where he
ended up, but you usually try not to will in

(32:35):
a little bit in real life.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Well, yeah, definitely in real life and online, aren't we
all running into more lunatics?

Speaker 8 (32:42):
Are not?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Just boy? Somebody hit me with the bureaucracy thing the
other day that was making him so mad in customer service,
and they they they kept their cool. It's a bit's
like my thing where I just wanted the people at
the car rental thing to say, please just admit to
me that it's nuts that I reserved a car but
you don't have the car right when I get here,
I want somebody to just say that's crazy. But nobody will.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
And I'm thinking about, you know, you could. You will
run into somebody who is militantly, angrily advocating a radical
point of view that nobody had even heard of a
decade ago. But they's so one convinced that's right. You're
the Antichrist if you disagree with them. Madness, madness, what

(33:24):
you do?

Speaker 1 (33:25):
That was a good clip of the years Final thought.
It's the final final thoughts of the year twenty twenty five,
and here is your host.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
For final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get right to it,
Michael Angelo, lead the way. What's your final thought?

Speaker 6 (33:50):
My final thought is Merry Christmas to the entire Angie staff.
And you know, there's so much that we do to
put this show together. I'm amazed at how well everybody
plays the role and how much we do with such
just a few.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
People amen to that.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thank you, Michael. Katie Green is not with us today.
I'm sure her final thought would be, my god, I
work with some wise kind.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
And handsome men. Yeah, she didn't care enough to show up,
But yeah, Katie, what are you gonna do? Backstabber?

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Mike Hanson, our executive producer for a special guest. Final thought, Hanson, gentlemen,
I spend a lot of time with the ang research team.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
We pour over all the data, the quarterly reports and
so on and so forth.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Everything points to this. We expect twenty twenty six to
be seven hundred percent better of twenty five. That's an
excellent joke of you been following the criticism of Trump's
speech to the uptick Jack which finals now, first someone
to throw in that Katie Green. Now, one of her
predictions for twenty twenty six is Katie Green is going

(34:50):
to become a mom. So that's that's gonna be an
exciting story. Obviously. My final thoughts the same one as
every year. I can't believe that this is what I
get to do for work, the way I get to
make a lit How lucky am I there? And as
my kids get older and you get ready to head
out into the world, got to figure out how to
make a living. I'm just even more reminded. Wow, did
I look into a good situation?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah? It feels more like a curse than a blessing
most days to me. But whatever, to each their own.
I want to thank everybody so much for listening, for
your kind emails and texts throughout the year. Anger, monsters
and trolls, you can all go to hell, but for
everybody else, just the interaction is appreciated more than I
can tell you. I wish we had more time for it,

(35:30):
but thanks for your kind words and hope you have
a great holiday season.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah for the trolls, may you forget to look left
when you step off a curve in this next year.
We'll see you next year. God bless America.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Hey, any of you are looking for any blast minuted
gift ideas for me?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
I have one.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Like Frank Shirley, my boss right here tonight. I want
them fought from his happy holiday slumber over there a
melody lane with all the other rich people.

Speaker 9 (36:03):
And I want to put right here with a big
ribbon on his head, and I.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Want to look him straight in the eye.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
And I don't want to tell him what a cheap lyne,
no good rotten for flushing, low life snake licking, dirt eating.

Speaker 9 (36:15):
And bread over stuffed, ignorant, blood.

Speaker 8 (36:18):
Fucking dog kissing, brainless, hopeless, heartless, fat ass, bug.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Eyed, stiff leg it's finny lip wherever headed.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
Sack of my he is he?

Speaker 9 (36:29):
Loljah, Holly, where's the title alone,
