Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Getty Armstrong and Getti Cakeee Armstrong and Getty Strong, and
we took the day off. We are not live from
Studio C. We're home.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Actually it's my son's birthday, so I'm not celebrating that problem. Excellent, Well,
happy birthday to your son, and enjoy this carefully selected I.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Mean fine two colvid.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The weeks were spent in coming up with the perfect
combination of past segments from the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So let's all enjoy the Armstrong in Geddy replay.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The Postal Service, FedEx and UPS just announced their holiday
shipping deadlines. The FedEx and UPS deadline is December twenty third,
and the Postal Service deadline is last Easter. Yeah, the
last day to ship the gift is December twenty third.
Then scratch shops are like after that all use that
(01:04):
is a set sorry up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Scratch offs as Christmas Presents holiday classic. My mom always
gets those forced every single year for whatever reason. It's
been a tradition in our household, only one time a year.
I have a lottery ticket is in the stocking hung
with care. Interesting that people laugh there. It's just a given,
a given that we think the taxpayer funded, government run
(01:33):
package delivery is worse than the private company. We're just
all in agreement with that enough that we can make
a joke like that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Truism ru Yeah. Ah, I've been asked to read this
to you, and so I will. I am nothing if
not obedient. Our Christmas shipping deadline has passed. Oh no,
we get at some of your procrastinators will do you
a favor free shipping for anyone who wants to roll
the dice, because it's not like you won't get your
fabulous A and G swag in time for Christmas. It's
(02:02):
just a little bit uncertain at this point. So you
got Armstrong and Geddy dot com. Get your ruin the
entire Country tea that's here, Gavin twenty twenty eight t shirt,
one of our fine hoodies, the kftc apron, maybe the
Air Force blue Wing pint glasses. Order your ang logo
gifts today Armstrong and Geddy dot Com. We were talking
(02:23):
about genetic tendencies earlier. I wish procrastination would be looked
at at the highest level. They need to do a
moonshot on procrastination and figure that out, and figure out
how to use crisper technology to gene edit that out
of people, because it's horrible. I've got it, and one
of my kids has it. One of them has it,
and one of them doesn't, and it's just now never
(02:43):
mind eye color. How about procrastination? No kidding, no kidding.
I don't care how tall they are. I want to
give them the gift of not being a procrastinator. Speaking
of passing on your genes to your children. Your headline
of the day. And maybe we'll take a look inside
the China cabinet later, because I've got a lot of
good China stuff. But China adds tax to condoms as
(03:05):
it works to boost birth rates. Well, if you want
less of something, you tax it. If you want more
of something, you subsidize it. That's why we tax employment
and subsidize drug addicts in America.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Uugh, moving law.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They're taxing condoms, Yeah, to try to get people to
use them with Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, I mean the
tax would have to be just confiscatory, right, I mean,
I'd rather have and raise a child than spend that
extra thirty cents. So right, exactly, It's not like they're
(03:43):
it's the question of do you want a straw or
will you simp your iced tea out of your glass?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't need a straw. No, it's a condome for
goodness sakes. Anyway, moving along, I thought this was interesting.
Who is using what social media in the United States
right now? The numbers are in for this last year,
and they are interesting and as you might guess, they
vary significantly by age group demographics. YouTube and Facebook remain
(04:15):
the most widely used online platforms. Eighty four percent of
US adults say they use YouTube at least occasionally. I
use YouTube every day, probably I I'm not a big
social media guy. Really YouTube called YouTube? I don't know.
I don't use YouTube as social media. It has comments
(04:36):
and people post short videos and stuff like that. It's
a quasi social media anyway. That that that seventy one
percent report using Facebook.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Hundred percent social media. Half of adults say.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
They use Instagram, making it the only other platform in
the survey used by at least fifty percent of Americans.
Significantly smaller shares use the other sites and apps they
asked about, such as TikTok, which is not only a
communist Chinese spy device and a perverter of the principles
of our young, it is used by thirty seven percent
(05:15):
of American adults.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Can you ask what is the app? Thirty two? Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Can you answer this question, Katie, because I think it's important. Like,
for instance, I like the fact that my kids aren't
on social media as I define it. They're not on
Facebook or TikTok or Instagram, but YouTube's listed there they are.
They both use YouTube a lot. In what way is you?
Do you use YouTube as social media? Well, you're a millennial.
(05:40):
We're what's beyond boomers. We're the silent generation. Joe and
I were born in the twenties. I would think it's
social media silent to the last what I'm talking now, Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I would think it's social media because you can record
content and put it out there for people to comment on.
And they've kind of gone the way of Instagram and
TikTok with those shorts.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah. I don't think either of my kids or me
use it that way.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, Now, when you say your kids are not on TikTok,
how do you know that, well, they don't have the app.
You don't need the app. How do you use TikTok
without the app? Just the website? It works better with
the app, I'm told. Whatever that means the Chinese burrow
their way deeper into your soul. But every time I've
tried to use a TikTok without the app on my phone,
(06:26):
it wouldn't let me. So that's interesting. Anyway they tell
me to know have you have you rebooted? Let's see
moving along, where were we? Okay, so what's app? It rebooted?
What's app is thirty two percent. I wouldn't know what's
app if somebody I just I don't know it. I
with somebody I don't even remember what it was like
(06:47):
a month ago, or somebody only wanted to communicate through
What's app instead of texting.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh, it's so much better. It's it's a phone number
without an actual phone number.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And it's it's very easy. But I didn't understand the
advantage of it over tech. I guess it's encrypted or something.
Then that helps.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I don't need my message that terrorist communicate. I don't
need my messages and encrypted, but if you do, I
guess it's good.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
For you.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
About a third of Americans use what's app.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I was surprised somewhat fewers say the same as Reddit
twenty six percent, Snapchat twenty five percent, x is twenty
one percent, threads eight percent, Blue Sky is four percent.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Man, do you hear about that?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know, it's proof of what the media is that
you hear references to blue Sky as often as you
do if you're into the news. It's four percent of Americans.
Truth Social is three percent. By the way, a couple
of my oldest son's friends, children of college educated, well
to do, active parents, good families, they have the TikTok
(07:52):
app and watch TikTok videos.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
They go to sleep watching TikTok. That's how they fall.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Asleep in Oh boy, what are we doing to our children?
What is Mark Zuckerberg doing that in the Chinese doing
to our children? As you might have guessed already, there
are huge age gaps in the use of a lot
of platforms adults under thirty. Let's see well, for instance,
Instagram eighteen to twenty nine year olds.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Because this is just adults we're talking about here, eighty.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Percent of those young people are on Instagram, ninety five
percent YouTube again, is that really? Sixty three percent of
the young folks are on TikTok almost two thirds. And
if you look at any poll of where do you
get your news, TikTok is number one for young people
Chinese communist controlled propaganda site. Seriously, we're so fat and
(08:44):
stupid as the Republic, we deserved to go away. I
kind of got to broaden your idea of news, though,
don't you. Also, I don't know how much news young
people are seeking out at all. What's this Pete Eggzatt
story about the second tap on the boat.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't know how many people are interested in that
at all.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, some of it's it's kind of newsy, but I
don't I don't spend a lot money. It's got a
lot of news when I was twenty, like any really, Yeah,
let's see that and they break it down in all
sorts of interesting ways. Men, women erase age, household income, urban, rural, lean,
Republican or Democrat. Only one percent of Democrats are on
(09:28):
truth social for instance, have you mentioned Twitter? Yeah, just
that twenty one percent of people are on Twitter. Ever,
so it's it's like in uh, what is that? So
of course it's like eighth place. Yeah, and then I
know the numbers within Twitter of that twenty one percent
on there only like one percent post and dominate the
(09:51):
whole conversation. This this is not a breaking revelation. But like, well,
like Katie your lineal did did? Did the evening newscast
have any relevance for you growing up?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No? None for you? Wow?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And like in my household, my dad usually somebody flipped
on the evening news and to things was on.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, oh okay, I just met. For me, I mean
I might, I would always see my dad watching it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, and then I did during this I'm old. But
like for my kids, it means zero.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I mean they don't even know that there's such thing
as an evening newscast or a morning newscast or newscast
at all. Could you name your parents' favorite weather man
or a woman watching the evening news, because I remember
that was part of my childhood.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I knew their names.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Liars, Well, it was the only way to get weather
for one night. That's a good point. So getting back
to the who's using what social media, women stand out
in their use of several platforms, including Phasebook, Instagram, and
TikTok for instance. More than half of women report using
Instagram fifty five percent, compared to forty four percent of men. Alternately,
(11:03):
men are more likely to report using platforms such as
x or Reddit. Let's see White adults are less likely
than black and Hispanic adults and sometimes Asian adults to
use online platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and what's app. For instance,
forty five percent of white adults report using Instagram, compared
with larger shares among Hispanics. It's sixty two percent. That's
(11:26):
a seventeen point spread. Maybe it's just because Panics, blacks
and adults is a little less. Yeah, maybe it's just because
I'm old. But I don't understand how a conversation is
including what's happen YouTube. They're like as many people are
using cars or buying pumpkins this year, is the.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Way it sounds to me.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And I don't even know how they fall into the same category. Yeah,
if it was an analysis of where to put ad dollars,
maybe I'd get it. But yeah, they're very different to vehicles.
You're absolutely right. Let's see Democrats, demrad a, cleaning independence
more likely to report using WhatsApp, Reddit, TikTok, b louse
(12:06):
Guy and threads. Republicans more likely to say they use
X and truth social obviously.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Are we going to be on YouTube soon? Is that
ever gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We've been talking everybody uses social media way way too much,
way too much, But we don't have time to talk
about that. Yes, we will be on YouTube soon, like
in the new year something like that. Yeah, or shortly thereafter,
and you'll be able to watch the show on YouTube
or watch it later on YouTube. I don't even know
what's happening. Somebody should tell me. Carefully selected highlights, the plans,
(12:37):
Jack are in flux. Well, I've been perfected, customized for
your moder and viewing experience. Well, I have to comb
my hair. I probably should you have no hair? Well?
Will everybody be able to see everybody like Michael and
Katie and yeah, I think so. The other dozen people
working on the show that don't get mentioned. Glad As
(12:58):
If people will finally see Gladys, we got to have
like a cartoon Gladys or something. She's very shy, she
is ever since the Kaiser dumpter. Yeah, hope to be
on YouTube in the new year.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know what I don't have a freedom loving quote
of the day. You know, hang out, watch this, watch
what I do here. Our freedom loving quote of the
day is going to be an email.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Wow, they're a mail bag devastating.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Combining the two, It's like when the stars of happy
Days would be on vern and Shirlier says.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Just like this promotion, It is just like that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
All right, here's your freedom loving email of the day.
Sleeplessen Danville call him al Anonymous rights Jack Joe. I
am an Eagle scout, went back as a volunteer for
years where repay the many gifts scouting gave me. I
wanted to share a bit of inspiration with you that
still drives me today. On a trip to a northern
tier a scout camp canoeing in the Boundary Water wilderness
(13:57):
between Minnesota and Canada, we had a scout with us
who was, let's say, used to living comfortably. Day two,
some of the other boys wanted to go ten miles
that day. No way, we can go that far, the
boy said, and we didn't. Day eight, we were out
there pretty deep into Canada. We had two days to
get back to camp. Well, what if we pushed it
(14:18):
to this lake?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Out here.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
The boy said it was the same boy. It was
twenty six miles. We'll be able to see more before
we get back. When I asked him what changed, he said,
mister anonymous, I'm never gonna say I can't do something
ever again. Who I have heard a dozen stories exactly
like that since my kid has been around scouting.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Wow. Wow, wow, I know. Armstrongegetty dot com.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Donate now help more kids experience that and become Americans.
The number one lesson though, and it's something we know
we just we don't valued enough. Is people, not just kids.
But since we're talking about kids, kids rise to you know,
the challenge do you give them? If you make everything
soft and easy and you don't have to do that,
(15:04):
if you don't want to, or if it's triggering or
it's too hard or whatever, then nobody accomplishes anything. But
if you really challenge them for whatever reason, the human
spirit is, I'm gonna see if I can do it right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Right. That reminds me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Let's talk about gentle parenting later. But Armstrong in getty
dot com. Give whatever you can, even if it's a
little Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Note.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Al mailbag drops a note mail bag at Armstrong e
geedtdy dot com. Excellent reminder from m who just wrote,
following up on our discussion just a couple of minutes ago. Venezuela, guys,
is about China and preventing China from establishing a stronghold
in the Western hemisphere other than that inside US campuses. Yeah,
excellent point, my lad or dear or the neither. Perhaps
(15:51):
you're a sexual anyway, it's a great point.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, the Maduro regimis playing footsoo with China. Following up
on our discussion of Amazon drivers, John Wrights guys had
a far from nice car full of packages in the
backseat with an Amazon vested driver pull up in San
Diego's North Country supporting Mexican plates.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Blow so like.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Suspect Mexican nationals are now delivering Amazon packages in San
Diego County. Hmm, okay, all right, let's see how about this. Oh,
that's a really politically incorrect joke. I may have to
run this one by Jack and decide if we can
even I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Probably that's a good tease for hour two.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Boy and Mary Ann from Eagle, Idaho longtime listener blasting
Trump's Rob Reiner, truth, out of line, disrespectful, unkind for
aggrieving family. He only needed to give his condolences period.
He brags about being a Christian, but hate speech proves otherwise.
There is no support for what he said about Rob
Reiner none. Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It's a gender bending madness updation. I kept hearing about
this thing called the Loco. We're a brave world.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There's a lot of gender bending madness to get to.
We've got to dive right into the cesspool of weirdness.
First of all, the great Nelly Bowls of the free
press riding. Wait, we're still doing the sports thing. Both
the Oliver Ames girls volleyball team and the Somerset Berkeley
girls field hockey team won state titles in Massachusetts while
(17:49):
fielding biologically male athletes against all female opponents two different
state champ teams.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I wouldn't have bet that that was still happening. I know,
I know well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Koreans Bah New Jersey has been ordered to implement gender
identity friendly policies and educate staff on non discrimination after
being sued for refusing to allow a male into the
women's nude section, and Nelly writes, I feel like these
twenty twenty one plot lines need to be retired. We've
moved on no penises in the women's locker room unless
(18:22):
it's specifically a porn set, which is not a funny
thing to say. I'm not surprised that that happens still,
because the individual battles are still going to happen. But
the sports thing that took compliance from a whole bunch
of different parents and teams and schools, and I thought
that people weren't too scared to stand up against that
(18:43):
at this point. I would have thought there'd de been
is so many teams that forfeited, so many parents that
pulled their kids off the field or the court, that
it wouldn't have happened, you know. I'd meant to mention
that the theme of this update is we are far
from winning this fight. We have just begun to turn
back the tide a little bit, because in hardcore woke
places like Massachusetts, for instance, they're still completely down with
(19:05):
the idea of well, he's now a woman because he
says he's a woman. Trans women are women, and they're
letting them run rough shot over the girls and Finally,
Nelly mentions an Irish school teacher who once again got arrested,
not the first time, because he refuses to use they
them pronouns for children in his class. You almost said
a woman got erected, which in these cases can happen. No,
(19:27):
I said a teacher, which you assumed was a woman,
because you're sexist.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Wow, The winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition was
stripped of her title Tuesday, I said the organizers and
saw that the hulking American never mentioned she was born
a man. I saw that Jamie with two ms, and
they got caught because of some porn they had posted.
(19:53):
Jammy Booker disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition
at the Official strong Man Games for Women in Arlington,
Texas over the weekend. Congredior girls. Men are better at everything,
including being women. But he he, he, I get these
mixed up all the time, don't so, dude.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
They had.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Posted some porn on some site of them, like self
porn like, making it clear that they had junk in
the porn. So somebody saw that and said, hey, look
this woman that's a penis. So I just saw it,
So that kind of outed him. The organizers essentially said, whoops, no, yeah,
(20:39):
you're supposed to compete whatever you're born as. So again,
well done, sir. Way to show those girls what a
real woman is.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
How could you take any joy in that.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Because you're mentally ill. Bad news from the UK. With
the Labor Party now engaged, they have decided to more
or less ignore the incredibly important cast review recommendation that
any use of puberty blockers be confined to research. Well,
they've taken that to mean, let's do a major clinical
(21:12):
trial puberty blockers involving two hundred and twenty children under
the age of sixteen, including kids as young as ten.
They're going to feed these children. Two hundred and twenty
These young children will be fed dangerous puberty blockers in
the name of research, changing their bodies forever. Britain has
(21:32):
so lost its way it's absolutely terrible. Moving along, speaking
of those who haven't gotten the memo that this sort
of thing is ought to be over. Very sexual is
a word that's causing intrigue online.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Jack that BOI or V is in vagina, b E
B is in boy b E r R are sexual.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Very sexual is and this is quoting from a super
woke website. Sexual is a word that's causing intrigue online,
But what exactly is the new identity across squeer communities online?
New language continues to emerge to describe the full spectrum
of attraction. For money, discovering what for many discovery shut up?
(22:16):
For many, discovering a word that captures their experience can
feel like a relief, almost like miss finding a missing puzzle.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Bats and it goes on for sentence after seven.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Shut up and tell me what very sexual means, even
though stupid. Although very sexual remains far less well known
than labeled such as bisexual or panseexuals, it's slowly saping
into conversations on Reddit, Tumblr, lgb blah blah blah blah blah.
Very sexual as someone who can be attracted to all genders,
but with a distinct pattern. Attraction toward women and female
(22:47):
aligned or non binary androgenist people is the default, while
attraction to men or masculine aligned people is lighter, rarer,
or more secondary.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Okay, I didn't follow that. Did you know that? Don't bother?
You still know what very sexual is?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't now now you're mostly attracted to girlish people.
Sometimes once in a while, maybe on the weekends, you're
attracted to dudish people.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's all it means.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Hey, all you very sexuals and pan sexuals and whatever
the hell else you call yourselves. Google the following phrase
or chet gpt it the narcissism of small distinctions. I
think you might learn something moving along. Great piece by
Christopher Khalib in The National Review about how the Washington
(23:38):
State University removed a bunch of videos from a conference
about the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine. Activists got
hold of these videos of debates and discussions about what's
really good for his what's really healthy for kids, and
(23:58):
what's not. They they labeled this society a hate group,
attacked Washington State University for hosting the nation the courses
for nationwide use, and bullied Washington State into taking them.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Down all in about a day.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
What zero to one hundred the activists can still bully
a university into removing a discussion in which this organization
was simply saying, we need to do medicine based on evidence.
We need to be scientific about it, not emotional about it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
What is the data?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And for that they were labeled a hate group and
taken down major state university. This fight is just beginning,
just barely beginning. I'm still blown away by that sports one.
I didn't think we are still there anywhere in the
country where there wouldn't be enough parents or coaches or
(24:59):
schools would say no, we're not we're not going along
with this. Well, that's my point exactly. Is that in
your walk areas? Because keep in mind, in California, Jack,
the rebels who fought against it and boycotted games and
blah blah blah, they're still.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Running a foul of state law.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The state law in California is dudes get to kick
the crap out of girls on the field of play
in violation of Title nine. Gavin, even though you admitted
to Charlie Kirk, it's blightantly unfair, kind of sort of
with your rambling, I never say anything nonsense. It's a
gender bending madness update.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's the ending. That's the ending. Okay oooh, all that's
that's what's her name? What's she up to these days?
That's a fella, He seemed confused.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
What's he up to these days? I don't know nothing.
Not pitching bud light, that's for sure. I'll never forget
or go ahead and forget it. It's just beer. It's fine.
So I was listening to a discussion on a podcast
yesterday of his college football ruined or broken, and it
clearly is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know if there's any fixing it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
So it's bowl season. So your team, from what I understand,
that plays in the Bowl might have a different quarterback
than it had the entire season, right right or thirty
or players might sit out thinking I'm not playing that
stupid game. What's the point of that? And then you've
got the whole UC. Berkeley is in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
If you know anything about the way the conference has worked, Berkeley,
(26:37):
the cala is in the ACC.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I mean, there's a.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Bunch of examples of that that just make no sense whatsoever.
What if they'll ever be able to fix that? Again,
I've read various ideas and plans that have been pitched
for fixing college football. Again, A it's complicated, and B
I don't care enough to really dig into it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But yeah, it's it's it's crazy what's going on right
now now?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Players being paid millions and millions of dollars right out
of high school to play for a college. I don't
have any problem with that, but they got to you
gotta stay with the same team.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
You can't that that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Whole transfer thing or whatever portal that's gotta go away.
I mean, whose idea was that? Yeah, I happen to
be tuning into the fight in a line on basketball
program as they got just absolutely dismantled by Yukon a
gam uh and thought, wow, I recognize one of those
dudes from last year one. Everybody else is just a
(27:31):
transfer portal guy or a euro who's pretending to study
or whatever. I don't know, it's ridiculous. It's still hot though.
You look at attendance figures and tving money and uh,
you know, like the Big Ten championship game, number one Ohio,
number two Indiana. I believe they're certainly in the top ten.
That's right, they're number two in the conference. Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's gonna be a great game. I'm excited about watching it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
If attendance is still as hot and alumni are still
as hot for it and everything like that, then I
guess it continues on.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And I don't know, they lost me coming it'll last.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, But like my brothers are super into college sports,
particularly Kansas basketball, and they're as hot for it as
they ever have been, and all the conferences are completely
different than they ever were. Yeah, the question is long term,
will it attract new fans?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Right? These ear marks?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, players are making millions though. Oh yeah, yeah, well
the kid's never played it down. Yeah they should be.
Got coaches getting ten million dollars. You got all kinds
of advertisers and sponsors and all kinds of people making
lots of money. The players are the ones that are
playing the game. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And we get to
(28:43):
drop the charade that this bms with an IQ of
sixty eight but runs like a deer, is you know
a student quote unquote at the IQ of sixty eight?
Well has that changed? Can you not go to class
and stuff? Can you just be your major?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As I'm on the football team. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
They probably still fake it up for some reason, but
I've lost track.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's always been the reality.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean, if you ever went to college and had
like some big dumb athlete in your class, not then
they're not all dumb.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
But some of them are, and I asks to be dumb.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They just happened to be born with more athletic ability
than brain power. Yeah, but I had a few in
classes at various college situations, Isaac.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's just like, what are you doing here? Right? And
they're saying to themselves, what am I doing here? I
can talk the basketball and pretending to go to class.
That's what I'm doing the Armstrong and Getty show, Jack
your show podcasts, and are hot Lakes? Can I begin with?
This story has no real point to me.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm not trying to make a point of any kind,
because you might be listening trying to figure out what's
the point.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm not trying to make a point. I just find
this interesting. This whole story.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
About this transwoman who secretly recorded her cancer surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
She's filing a lawsuit against what the people said while
she was under which is again interesting. Every story has
a point, whether you want it to or not. I'm
not trying to make the nature of stories. I'm not
trying to make a major point about trans or anything
like that. So if you're waiting for that, it's it's
It is unusual for patients to record their own surgeries,
(30:18):
but not completely unheard of. I don't remember if we
talked about this lawsuit Back in twenty thirteen, Maybe we did.
A man recorded audio secretly while he was sedated and
sued during a colonoscopy because of antes geologist's remarks. The
doctor told other medical staff members that she thought.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It breaks yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I have no idea what the next sentence when this
gets to what Joe was talking about earlier. We all
say things among friends or or you know, text friends
or family members or whatever, things that you know, we
wouldn't say, I'll loud anyone else. And in this case
you got anesthesiologists or doctors or whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They don't think the patient's listening.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So the doctor told their medical staff members she found
the patient so annoying she felt like punching him.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
She said.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
A rash on the patient's genitals was probably penis of bola.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Wow, you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
The patient, who was awarded a half million dollars by
a jury, said he had hit record on his phone
because he wanted documentation of what the doctor said.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Why.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He worried that the sedation would leave him too groggy
to remember. What are you worried about? What do you yeah,
Wait a minute, that sounds like a cart before a
horse or you weren't concerned, you were trying, you were
hoping for something like that.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Well, what they were claiming, and it's the same thing
that this woman I'm you saying. Woman, this is what
the New York Times is calling this person, even though
they have a penis that they were recording it. And
I had this experience when I was doing cancer treatment.
You're so drugged up, and they're telling me all these
things you gotta do. If I hadn't had somebody there
with me some of the time to like write it down,
you're giving me all these instructions of what I can
(31:59):
eat and how many pills have taken them, asked on
my mind on pills. So true, And so that's why
this person said they were recording the conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It might be true, but you did it secretly.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You could like say, hey, I'm going to record you
just so I don't forget this, as opposed to secretly
hit your phone and then stash it when they put
you under. That makes it sound to me like you're
trying to catch them at something. Yeah, getting someone's consent
is and letting them know they're being recorded is just
common decency. It Jennifer Caspasso, a forty two year old
transgender woman, figured she was going to be dead in
eighteen months. She had been diagnosed with cancer and was
(32:33):
going to undergo some surgery. Uh, she decided to secretly
record her surgeons. I'll skip all the other stuff. I
wanted to know what's going on, she said, Knowledge is power. Okay, fine.
The surgery moved part of her lung. Did not getting
around to playing the recording until a few weeks later. Well,
that makes me feel like you weren't that interested in
what they said about your instructions. Though the audio was muffled,
(32:55):
she could follow some of what the surgical team was
saying before the procedure began. Again, this is a transit,
and that she has a penis in this story.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's a man.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
God, why do you allow the New York Times to
order you to pervert the language? Chicken makes it easier
to follow the story. But anyway, someone was going out
for coffee. Did anyone want something from Starbucks? That's one
of the things they got recorded during this arth. The
conversation just shifted, then shifted, still has man parts. It
seemed to miss Capasso that they were talking about her genitalia.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Wow, you are Sherlock Holmes. There.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
On the recording, the healthcare workers expressed a variety of
opinions about transgender identity, more generally not that it's not right.
But one person can be heard saying and another said,
I don't get any of it. And in the middle
of the conversation, one person suggested updating the medical file. Yeah,
it needs to say mail on here, the person said.
When miss Capasso woke up, she found out that her
(33:50):
electronic medical records had been changed to M for male,
and now she's fighting to get it changed back and
suing the hospital for mis gendering her while she was
sleep or whatever the hell. Obviously I would think you
gotta have male on there, since male bodies require different
care and maybe doses of drugs or whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And react to drugs differently.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
There are a hundred or more differences in medical care
between men and women. It's incredibly important. By the way,
this particular woman had had a half dozen procedures to
feminize her face, all the while undergoing cancer surgery. Her browbridge,
her brow ridge was sanded down. That sounds pleasant. Her
(34:38):
orbital bone was shaved to give her eyes an upward tilt.
Her square chin was softened. There were cheek implants and
a change to her nose too. I needed radical surgical intervention,
she said. The clock was ticking. I didn't know how
much longer I was going to be alive. I wasn't
going to die looking the way I looked. I wanted
to die leaving a pretty female corpse. This is a
(35:01):
story about a mentally ill man. It's a shame. That's
what I told you. I said, I don't really have
a point of than. I thought this was all interesting.
Browridge sanded down, orbital bone shaved to give your eyes
an upward tilt. I can't believe doctors even do that.
It's kind of the looking like a girl package.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah wow. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and
Getty Show
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Getty Armstrong and Getti Cakeee Armstrong and Getty Strong, and
we took the day off. We are not live from
Studio C. We're home.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Actually it's my son's birthday, so I'm not celebrating that problem. Excellent, Well,
happy birthday to your son, and enjoy this carefully selected I.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Mean fine two colvid.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The weeks were spent in coming up with the perfect
combination of past segments from the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So let's all enjoy the Armstrong in Geddy replay.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The Postal Service, FedEx and UPS just announced their holiday
shipping deadlines. The FedEx and UPS deadline is December twenty third,
and the Postal Service deadline is last Easter. Yeah, the
last day to ship the gift is December twenty third.
Then scratch shops are like after that all use that
(01:04):
is a set sorry up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Scratch offs as Christmas Presents holiday classic. My mom always
gets those forced every single year for whatever reason. It's
been a tradition in our household, only one time a year.
I have a lottery ticket is in the stocking hung
with care. Interesting that people laugh there. It's just a given,
a given that we think the taxpayer funded, government run
(01:33):
package delivery is worse than the private company. We're just
all in agreement with that enough that we can make
a joke like that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Truism ru Yeah. Ah, I've been asked to read this
to you, and so I will. I am nothing if
not obedient. Our Christmas shipping deadline has passed. Oh no,
we get at some of your procrastinators will do you
a favor free shipping for anyone who wants to roll
the dice, because it's not like you won't get your
fabulous A and G swag in time for Christmas. It's
(02:02):
just a little bit uncertain at this point. So you
got Armstrong and Geddy dot com. Get your ruin the
entire Country tea that's here, Gavin twenty twenty eight t shirt,
one of our fine hoodies, the kftc apron, maybe the
Air Force blue Wing pint glasses. Order your ang logo
gifts today Armstrong and Geddy dot Com. We were talking
(02:23):
about genetic tendencies earlier. I wish procrastination would be looked
at at the highest level. They need to do a
moonshot on procrastination and figure that out, and figure out
how to use crisper technology to gene edit that out
of people, because it's horrible. I've got it, and one
of my kids has it. One of them has it,
and one of them doesn't, and it's just now never
(02:43):
mind eye color. How about procrastination? No kidding, no kidding.
I don't care how tall they are. I want to
give them the gift of not being a procrastinator. Speaking
of passing on your genes to your children. Your headline
of the day. And maybe we'll take a look inside
the China cabinet later, because I've got a lot of
good China stuff. But China adds tax to condoms as
(03:05):
it works to boost birth rates. Well, if you want
less of something, you tax it. If you want more
of something, you subsidize it. That's why we tax employment
and subsidize drug addicts in America.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Uugh, moving law.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
They're taxing condoms, Yeah, to try to get people to
use them with Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, I mean the
tax would have to be just confiscatory, right, I mean,
I'd rather have and raise a child than spend that
extra thirty cents. So right, exactly, It's not like they're
(03:43):
it's the question of do you want a straw or
will you simp your iced tea out of your glass?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't need a straw. No, it's a condome for
goodness sakes. Anyway, moving along, I thought this was interesting.
Who is using what social media in the United States
right now? The numbers are in for this last year,
and they are interesting and as you might guess, they
vary significantly by age group demographics. YouTube and Facebook remain
(04:15):
the most widely used online platforms. Eighty four percent of
US adults say they use YouTube at least occasionally. I
use YouTube every day, probably I I'm not a big
social media guy. Really YouTube called YouTube? I don't know.
I don't use YouTube as social media. It has comments
(04:36):
and people post short videos and stuff like that. It's
a quasi social media anyway. That that that seventy one
percent report using Facebook.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Hundred percent social media. Half of adults say.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
They use Instagram, making it the only other platform in
the survey used by at least fifty percent of Americans.
Significantly smaller shares use the other sites and apps they
asked about, such as TikTok, which is not only a
communist Chinese spy device and a perverter of the principles
of our young, it is used by thirty seven percent
(05:15):
of American adults.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Can you ask what is the app? Thirty two? Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Can you answer this question, Katie, because I think it's important. Like,
for instance, I like the fact that my kids aren't
on social media as I define it. They're not on
Facebook or TikTok or Instagram, but YouTube's listed there they are.
They both use YouTube a lot. In what way is you?
Do you use YouTube as social media? Well, you're a millennial.
(05:40):
We're what's beyond boomers. We're the silent generation. Joe and
I were born in the twenties. I would think it's
social media silent to the last what I'm talking now, Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I would think it's social media because you can record
content and put it out there for people to comment on.
And they've kind of gone the way of Instagram and
TikTok with those shorts.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah. I don't think either of my kids or me
use it that way.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now, Now, when you say your kids are not on TikTok,
how do you know that, well, they don't have the app.
You don't need the app. How do you use TikTok
without the app? Just the website? It works better with
the app, I'm told. Whatever that means the Chinese burrow
their way deeper into your soul. But every time I've
tried to use a TikTok without the app on my phone,
(06:26):
it wouldn't let me. So that's interesting. Anyway they tell
me to know have you have you rebooted? Let's see
moving along, where were we? Okay, so what's app? It rebooted?
What's app is thirty two percent. I wouldn't know what's
app if somebody I just I don't know it. I
with somebody I don't even remember what it was like
(06:47):
a month ago, or somebody only wanted to communicate through
What's app instead of texting.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh, it's so much better. It's it's a phone number
without an actual phone number.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And it's it's very easy. But I didn't understand the
advantage of it over tech. I guess it's encrypted or something.
Then that helps.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I don't need my message that terrorist communicate. I don't
need my messages and encrypted, but if you do, I
guess it's good.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
For you.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
About a third of Americans use what's app.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I was surprised somewhat fewers say the same as Reddit
twenty six percent, Snapchat twenty five percent, x is twenty
one percent, threads eight percent, Blue Sky is four percent.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Man, do you hear about that?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know, it's proof of what the media is that
you hear references to blue Sky as often as you
do if you're into the news. It's four percent of Americans.
Truth Social is three percent. By the way, a couple
of my oldest son's friends, children of college educated, well
to do, active parents, good families, they have the TikTok
(07:52):
app and watch TikTok videos.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
They go to sleep watching TikTok. That's how they fall.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Asleep in Oh boy, what are we doing to our children?
What is Mark Zuckerberg doing that in the Chinese doing
to our children? As you might have guessed already, there
are huge age gaps in the use of a lot
of platforms adults under thirty. Let's see well, for instance,
Instagram eighteen to twenty nine year olds.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Because this is just adults we're talking about here, eighty.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Percent of those young people are on Instagram, ninety five
percent YouTube again, is that really? Sixty three percent of
the young folks are on TikTok almost two thirds. And
if you look at any poll of where do you
get your news, TikTok is number one for young people
Chinese communist controlled propaganda site. Seriously, we're so fat and
(08:44):
stupid as the Republic, we deserved to go away. I
kind of got to broaden your idea of news, though,
don't you. Also, I don't know how much news young
people are seeking out at all. What's this Pete Eggzatt
story about the second tap on the boat.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't know how many people are interested in that
at all.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, some of it's it's kind of newsy, but I
don't I don't spend a lot money. It's got a
lot of news when I was twenty, like any really, Yeah,
let's see that and they break it down in all
sorts of interesting ways. Men, women erase age, household income, urban, rural, lean,
Republican or Democrat. Only one percent of Democrats are on
(09:28):
truth social for instance, have you mentioned Twitter? Yeah, just
that twenty one percent of people are on Twitter. Ever,
so it's it's like in uh, what is that? So
of course it's like eighth place. Yeah, and then I
know the numbers within Twitter of that twenty one percent
on there only like one percent post and dominate the
(09:51):
whole conversation. This this is not a breaking revelation. But like, well,
like Katie your lineal did did? Did the evening newscast
have any relevance for you growing up?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No? None for you? Wow?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And like in my household, my dad usually somebody flipped
on the evening news and to things was on.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, oh okay, I just met. For me, I mean
I might, I would always see my dad watching it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, and then I did during this I'm old. But
like for my kids, it means zero.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I mean they don't even know that there's such thing
as an evening newscast or a morning newscast or newscast
at all. Could you name your parents' favorite weather man
or a woman watching the evening news, because I remember
that was part of my childhood.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I knew their names.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Liars, Well, it was the only way to get weather
for one night. That's a good point. So getting back
to the who's using what social media, women stand out
in their use of several platforms, including Phasebook, Instagram, and
TikTok for instance. More than half of women report using
Instagram fifty five percent, compared to forty four percent of men. Alternately,
(11:03):
men are more likely to report using platforms such as
x or Reddit. Let's see White adults are less likely
than black and Hispanic adults and sometimes Asian adults to
use online platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and what's app. For instance,
forty five percent of white adults report using Instagram, compared
with larger shares among Hispanics. It's sixty two percent. That's
(11:26):
a seventeen point spread. Maybe it's just because Panics, blacks
and adults is a little less. Yeah, maybe it's just because
I'm old. But I don't understand how a conversation is
including what's happen YouTube. They're like as many people are
using cars or buying pumpkins this year, is the.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Way it sounds to me.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And I don't even know how they fall into the same category. Yeah,
if it was an analysis of where to put ad dollars,
maybe I'd get it. But yeah, they're very different to vehicles.
You're absolutely right. Let's see Democrats, demrad a, cleaning independence
more likely to report using WhatsApp, Reddit, TikTok, b louse
(12:06):
Guy and threads. Republicans more likely to say they use
X and truth social obviously.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Are we going to be on YouTube soon? Is that
ever gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
We've been talking everybody uses social media way way too much,
way too much, But we don't have time to talk
about that. Yes, we will be on YouTube soon, like
in the new year something like that. Yeah, or shortly thereafter,
and you'll be able to watch the show on YouTube
or watch it later on YouTube. I don't even know
what's happening. Somebody should tell me. Carefully selected highlights, the plans,
(12:37):
Jack are in flux. Well, I've been perfected, customized for
your moder and viewing experience. Well, I have to comb
my hair. I probably should you have no hair? Well?
Will everybody be able to see everybody like Michael and
Katie and yeah, I think so. The other dozen people
working on the show that don't get mentioned. Glad As
(12:58):
If people will finally see Gladys, we got to have
like a cartoon Gladys or something. She's very shy, she
is ever since the Kaiser dumpter. Yeah, hope to be
on YouTube in the new year.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know what I don't have a freedom loving quote
of the day. You know, hang out, watch this, watch
what I do here. Our freedom loving quote of the
day is going to be an email.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Wow, they're a mail bag devastating.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Combining the two, It's like when the stars of happy
Days would be on vern and Shirlier says.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Just like this promotion, It is just like that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
All right, here's your freedom loving email of the day.
Sleeplessen Danville call him al Anonymous rights Jack Joe. I
am an Eagle scout, went back as a volunteer for
years where repay the many gifts scouting gave me. I
wanted to share a bit of inspiration with you that
still drives me today. On a trip to a northern
tier a scout camp canoeing in the Boundary Water wilderness
(13:57):
between Minnesota and Canada, we had a scout with us
who was, let's say, used to living comfortably. Day two,
some of the other boys wanted to go ten miles
that day. No way, we can go that far, the
boy said, and we didn't. Day eight, we were out
there pretty deep into Canada. We had two days to
get back to camp. Well, what if we pushed it
(14:18):
to this lake?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Out here.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
The boy said it was the same boy. It was
twenty six miles. We'll be able to see more before
we get back. When I asked him what changed, he said,
mister anonymous, I'm never gonna say I can't do something
ever again. Who I have heard a dozen stories exactly
like that since my kid has been around scouting.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Wow. Wow, wow, I know. Armstrongegetty dot com.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Donate now help more kids experience that and become Americans.
The number one lesson though, and it's something we know
we just we don't valued enough. Is people, not just kids.
But since we're talking about kids, kids rise to you know,
the challenge do you give them? If you make everything
soft and easy and you don't have to do that,
(15:04):
if you don't want to, or if it's triggering or
it's too hard or whatever, then nobody accomplishes anything. But
if you really challenge them for whatever reason, the human
spirit is, I'm gonna see if I can do it right.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Right. That reminds me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Let's talk about gentle parenting later. But Armstrong in getty
dot com. Give whatever you can, even if it's a
little Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Note.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Al mailbag drops a note mail bag at Armstrong e
geedtdy dot com. Excellent reminder from m who just wrote,
following up on our discussion just a couple of minutes ago. Venezuela, guys,
is about China and preventing China from establishing a stronghold
in the Western hemisphere other than that inside US campuses. Yeah,
excellent point, my lad or dear or the neither. Perhaps
(15:51):
you're a sexual anyway, it's a great point.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, the Maduro regimis playing footsoo with China. Following up
on our discussion of Amazon drivers, John Wrights guys had
a far from nice car full of packages in the
backseat with an Amazon vested driver pull up in San
Diego's North Country supporting Mexican plates.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Blow so like.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Suspect Mexican nationals are now delivering Amazon packages in San
Diego County. Hmm, okay, all right, let's see how about this. Oh,
that's a really politically incorrect joke. I may have to
run this one by Jack and decide if we can
even I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Probably that's a good tease for hour two.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Boy and Mary Ann from Eagle, Idaho longtime listener blasting
Trump's Rob Reiner, truth, out of line, disrespectful, unkind for
aggrieving family. He only needed to give his condolences period.
He brags about being a Christian, but hate speech proves otherwise.
There is no support for what he said about Rob
Reiner none. Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It's a gender bending madness updation. I kept hearing about
this thing called the Loco. We're a brave world.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There's a lot of gender bending madness to get to.
We've got to dive right into the cesspool of weirdness.
First of all, the great Nelly Bowls of the free
press riding. Wait, we're still doing the sports thing. Both
the Oliver Ames girls volleyball team and the Somerset Berkeley
girls field hockey team won state titles in Massachusetts while
(17:49):
fielding biologically male athletes against all female opponents two different
state champ teams.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I wouldn't have bet that that was still happening. I know,
I know well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Koreans Bah New Jersey has been ordered to implement gender
identity friendly policies and educate staff on non discrimination after
being sued for refusing to allow a male into the
women's nude section, and Nelly writes, I feel like these
twenty twenty one plot lines need to be retired. We've
moved on no penises in the women's locker room unless
(18:22):
it's specifically a porn set, which is not a funny
thing to say. I'm not surprised that that happens still,
because the individual battles are still going to happen. But
the sports thing that took compliance from a whole bunch
of different parents and teams and schools, and I thought
that people weren't too scared to stand up against that
(18:43):
at this point. I would have thought there'd de been
is so many teams that forfeited, so many parents that
pulled their kids off the field or the court, that
it wouldn't have happened, you know. I'd meant to mention
that the theme of this update is we are far
from winning this fight. We have just begun to turn
back the tide a little bit, because in hardcore woke
places like Massachusetts, for instance, they're still completely down with
(19:05):
the idea of well, he's now a woman because he
says he's a woman. Trans women are women, and they're
letting them run rough shot over the girls and Finally,
Nelly mentions an Irish school teacher who once again got arrested,
not the first time, because he refuses to use they
them pronouns for children in his class. You almost said
a woman got erected, which in these cases can happen. No,
(19:27):
I said a teacher, which you assumed was a woman,
because you're sexist.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Wow, The winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition was
stripped of her title Tuesday, I said the organizers and
saw that the hulking American never mentioned she was born
a man. I saw that Jamie with two ms, and
they got caught because of some porn they had posted.
(19:53):
Jammy Booker disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition
at the Official strong Man Games for Women in Arlington,
Texas over the weekend. Congredior girls. Men are better at everything,
including being women. But he he, he, I get these
mixed up all the time, don't so, dude.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
They had.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Posted some porn on some site of them, like self
porn like, making it clear that they had junk in
the porn. So somebody saw that and said, hey, look
this woman that's a penis. So I just saw it,
So that kind of outed him. The organizers essentially said, whoops, no, yeah,
(20:39):
you're supposed to compete whatever you're born as. So again,
well done, sir. Way to show those girls what a
real woman is.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
How could you take any joy in that.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Because you're mentally ill. Bad news from the UK. With
the Labor Party now engaged, they have decided to more
or less ignore the incredibly important cast review recommendation that
any use of puberty blockers be confined to research. Well,
they've taken that to mean, let's do a major clinical
(21:12):
trial puberty blockers involving two hundred and twenty children under
the age of sixteen, including kids as young as ten.
They're going to feed these children. Two hundred and twenty
These young children will be fed dangerous puberty blockers in
the name of research, changing their bodies forever. Britain has
(21:32):
so lost its way it's absolutely terrible. Moving along, speaking
of those who haven't gotten the memo that this sort
of thing is ought to be over. Very sexual is
a word that's causing intrigue online.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Jack that BOI or V is in vagina, b E
B is in boy b E r R are sexual.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Very sexual is and this is quoting from a super
woke website. Sexual is a word that's causing intrigue online,
But what exactly is the new identity across squeer communities online?
New language continues to emerge to describe the full spectrum
of attraction. For money, discovering what for many discovery shut up?
(22:16):
For many, discovering a word that captures their experience can
feel like a relief, almost like miss finding a missing puzzle.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Bats and it goes on for sentence after seven.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Shut up and tell me what very sexual means, even
though stupid. Although very sexual remains far less well known
than labeled such as bisexual or panseexuals, it's slowly saping
into conversations on Reddit, Tumblr, lgb blah blah blah blah blah.
Very sexual as someone who can be attracted to all genders,
but with a distinct pattern. Attraction toward women and female
(22:47):
aligned or non binary androgenist people is the default, while
attraction to men or masculine aligned people is lighter, rarer,
or more secondary.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Okay, I didn't follow that. Did you know that? Don't bother?
You still know what very sexual is?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't now now you're mostly attracted to girlish people.
Sometimes once in a while, maybe on the weekends, you're
attracted to dudish people.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's all it means.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Hey, all you very sexuals and pan sexuals and whatever
the hell else you call yourselves. Google the following phrase
or chet gpt it the narcissism of small distinctions. I
think you might learn something moving along. Great piece by
Christopher Khalib in The National Review about how the Washington
(23:38):
State University removed a bunch of videos from a conference
about the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine. Activists got
hold of these videos of debates and discussions about what's
really good for his what's really healthy for kids, and
(23:58):
what's not. They they labeled this society a hate group,
attacked Washington State University for hosting the nation the courses
for nationwide use, and bullied Washington State into taking them.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Down all in about a day.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
What zero to one hundred the activists can still bully
a university into removing a discussion in which this organization
was simply saying, we need to do medicine based on evidence.
We need to be scientific about it, not emotional about it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
What is the data?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And for that they were labeled a hate group and
taken down major state university. This fight is just beginning,
just barely beginning. I'm still blown away by that sports one.
I didn't think we are still there anywhere in the
country where there wouldn't be enough parents or coaches or
(24:59):
schools would say no, we're not we're not going along
with this. Well, that's my point exactly. Is that in
your walk areas? Because keep in mind, in California, Jack,
the rebels who fought against it and boycotted games and
blah blah blah, they're still.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Running a foul of state law.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
The state law in California is dudes get to kick
the crap out of girls on the field of play
in violation of Title nine. Gavin, even though you admitted
to Charlie Kirk, it's blightantly unfair, kind of sort of
with your rambling, I never say anything nonsense. It's a
gender bending madness update.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's the ending. That's the ending. Okay oooh, all that's
that's what's her name? What's she up to these days?
That's a fella, He seemed confused.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
What's he up to these days? I don't know nothing.
Not pitching bud light, that's for sure. I'll never forget
or go ahead and forget it. It's just beer. It's fine.
So I was listening to a discussion on a podcast
yesterday of his college football ruined or broken, and it
clearly is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know if there's any fixing it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
So it's bowl season. So your team, from what I understand,
that plays in the Bowl might have a different quarterback
than it had the entire season, right right or thirty
or players might sit out thinking I'm not playing that
stupid game. What's the point of that? And then you've
got the whole UC. Berkeley is in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
If you know anything about the way the conference has worked, Berkeley,
(26:37):
the cala is in the ACC.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I mean, there's a.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Bunch of examples of that that just make no sense whatsoever.
What if they'll ever be able to fix that? Again,
I've read various ideas and plans that have been pitched
for fixing college football. Again, A it's complicated, and B
I don't care enough to really dig into it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But yeah, it's it's it's crazy what's going on right
now now?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Players being paid millions and millions of dollars right out
of high school to play for a college. I don't
have any problem with that, but they got to you
gotta stay with the same team.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
You can't that that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Whole transfer thing or whatever portal that's gotta go away.
I mean, whose idea was that? Yeah, I happen to
be tuning into the fight in a line on basketball
program as they got just absolutely dismantled by Yukon a
gam uh and thought, wow, I recognize one of those
dudes from last year one. Everybody else is just a
(27:31):
transfer portal guy or a euro who's pretending to study
or whatever. I don't know, it's ridiculous. It's still hot though.
You look at attendance figures and tving money and uh,
you know, like the Big Ten championship game, number one Ohio,
number two Indiana. I believe they're certainly in the top ten.
That's right, they're number two in the conference. Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's gonna be a great game. I'm excited about watching it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
If attendance is still as hot and alumni are still
as hot for it and everything like that, then I
guess it continues on.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And I don't know, they lost me coming it'll last.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, But like my brothers are super into college sports,
particularly Kansas basketball, and they're as hot for it as
they ever have been, and all the conferences are completely
different than they ever were. Yeah, the question is long term,
will it attract new fans?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Right? These ear marks?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, players are making millions though. Oh yeah, yeah, well
the kid's never played it down. Yeah they should be.
Got coaches getting ten million dollars. You got all kinds
of advertisers and sponsors and all kinds of people making
lots of money. The players are the ones that are
playing the game. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And we get to
(28:43):
drop the charade that this bms with an IQ of
sixty eight but runs like a deer, is you know
a student quote unquote at the IQ of sixty eight?
Well has that changed? Can you not go to class
and stuff? Can you just be your major?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As I'm on the football team. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
They probably still fake it up for some reason, but
I've lost track.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's always been the reality.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean, if you ever went to college and had
like some big dumb athlete in your class, not then
they're not all dumb.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
But some of them are, and I asks to be dumb.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They just happened to be born with more athletic ability
than brain power. Yeah, but I had a few in
classes at various college situations, Isaac.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's just like, what are you doing here? Right? And
they're saying to themselves, what am I doing here? I
can talk the basketball and pretending to go to class.
That's what I'm doing the Armstrong and Getty show, Jack
your show podcasts, and are hot Lakes? Can I begin with?
This story has no real point to me.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I'm not trying to make a point of any kind,
because you might be listening trying to figure out what's
the point.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm not trying to make a point. I just find
this interesting. This whole story.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
About this transwoman who secretly recorded her cancer surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
She's filing a lawsuit against what the people said while
she was under which is again interesting. Every story has
a point, whether you want it to or not. I'm
not trying to make the nature of stories. I'm not
trying to make a major point about trans or anything
like that. So if you're waiting for that, it's it's
It is unusual for patients to record their own surgeries,
(30:18):
but not completely unheard of. I don't remember if we
talked about this lawsuit Back in twenty thirteen, Maybe we did.
A man recorded audio secretly while he was sedated and
sued during a colonoscopy because of antes geologist's remarks. The
doctor told other medical staff members that she thought.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
It breaks yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I have no idea what the next sentence when this
gets to what Joe was talking about earlier. We all
say things among friends or or you know, text friends
or family members or whatever, things that you know, we
wouldn't say, I'll loud anyone else. And in this case
you got anesthesiologists or doctors or whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They don't think the patient's listening.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So the doctor told their medical staff members she found
the patient so annoying she felt like punching him.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
She said.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
A rash on the patient's genitals was probably penis of bola.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Wow, you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
The patient, who was awarded a half million dollars by
a jury, said he had hit record on his phone
because he wanted documentation of what the doctor said.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Why.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He worried that the sedation would leave him too groggy
to remember. What are you worried about? What do you yeah,
Wait a minute, that sounds like a cart before a
horse or you weren't concerned, you were trying, you were
hoping for something like that.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Well, what they were claiming, and it's the same thing
that this woman I'm you saying. Woman, this is what
the New York Times is calling this person, even though
they have a penis that they were recording it. And
I had this experience when I was doing cancer treatment.
You're so drugged up, and they're telling me all these
things you gotta do. If I hadn't had somebody there
with me some of the time to like write it down,
you're giving me all these instructions of what I can
(31:59):
eat and how many pills have taken them, asked on
my mind on pills. So true, And so that's why
this person said they were recording the conversation.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It might be true, but you did it secretly.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You could like say, hey, I'm going to record you
just so I don't forget this, as opposed to secretly
hit your phone and then stash it when they put
you under. That makes it sound to me like you're
trying to catch them at something. Yeah, getting someone's consent
is and letting them know they're being recorded is just
common decency. It Jennifer Caspasso, a forty two year old
transgender woman, figured she was going to be dead in
eighteen months. She had been diagnosed with cancer and was
(32:33):
going to undergo some surgery. Uh, she decided to secretly
record her surgeons. I'll skip all the other stuff. I
wanted to know what's going on, she said, Knowledge is power. Okay, fine.
The surgery moved part of her lung. Did not getting
around to playing the recording until a few weeks later. Well,
that makes me feel like you weren't that interested in
what they said about your instructions. Though the audio was muffled,
(32:55):
she could follow some of what the surgical team was
saying before the procedure began. Again, this is a transit,
and that she has a penis in this story.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's a man.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
God, why do you allow the New York Times to
order you to pervert the language? Chicken makes it easier
to follow the story. But anyway, someone was going out
for coffee. Did anyone want something from Starbucks? That's one
of the things they got recorded during this arth. The
conversation just shifted, then shifted, still has man parts. It
seemed to miss Capasso that they were talking about her genitalia.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Wow, you are Sherlock Holmes. There.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
On the recording, the healthcare workers expressed a variety of
opinions about transgender identity, more generally not that it's not right.
But one person can be heard saying and another said,
I don't get any of it. And in the middle
of the conversation, one person suggested updating the medical file. Yeah,
it needs to say mail on here, the person said.
When miss Capasso woke up, she found out that her
(33:50):
electronic medical records had been changed to M for male,
and now she's fighting to get it changed back and
suing the hospital for mis gendering her while she was
sleep or whatever the hell. Obviously I would think you
gotta have male on there, since male bodies require different
care and maybe doses of drugs or whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And react to drugs differently.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
There are a hundred or more differences in medical care
between men and women. It's incredibly important. By the way,
this particular woman had had a half dozen procedures to
feminize her face, all the while undergoing cancer surgery. Her browbridge,
her brow ridge was sanded down. That sounds pleasant. Her
(34:38):
orbital bone was shaved to give her eyes an upward tilt.
Her square chin was softened. There were cheek implants and
a change to her nose too. I needed radical surgical intervention,
she said. The clock was ticking. I didn't know how
much longer I was going to be alive. I wasn't
going to die looking the way I looked. I wanted
to die leaving a pretty female corpse. This is a
(35:01):
story about a mentally ill man. It's a shame. That's
what I told you. I said, I don't really have
a point of than. I thought this was all interesting.
Browridge sanded down, orbital bone shaved to give your eyes
an upward tilt. I can't believe doctors even do that.
It's kind of the looking like a girl package.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah wow. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and
