Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. What what did
(00:22):
Trump allegedly write on Epstein's birthday card? According to The
Wall Street drawn have another may every day be a
secret day? Or whatever? Whatever the hell is that would
ever say that?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I actually got the full text of it, which we
should have gotten to earlier.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, well, let's do that after clips of the week
I would like to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But the key line is happy birthday and may every
day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I know, who would ever say that? You give me
a context, make the context up where that makes sense
unless you got some sort of giant secret that you
two are in on.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, yeah, I'm trying to come up with like an
innocent explanation.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Trump denies that he wrote the letter, and I don't
know the think that he probably did. But you and
your friend have a secret place that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You go with a beautiful view of the mountains, and
it's a trail nobody's on, and you write the next
day tour, may every day be another wonderful secret?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, I guess maybe I'm stretching here. I want to
hear the whole letter, so.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, yeah, it's it's intriguing. You want to hear an
Epstein joke before we get started? Sure, that was an
actual question. This is from a long time a friend
of the Armstrong and Getty show and listener Andy shout out, Andy,
I hope you're doing well and your brother as well.
Man dies, reaches heaven. God says you get one question, truth,
(02:00):
full disclosure. Guy goes cool, Who killed Epstein? God replies,
he took his own life.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No one helped.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Guy says, wow, masad cover up. Goes hired than I thought.
All right, that's you can't satisfy those who believe in
the Grand Conspiracy. That's the nature of it. That's what
it's designed to do. By the way, it's a perpetual
tune in slash revenue machine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh I got a little more on that, but we'll
do okay, we'll do this first. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
First, it's Friday tradition. Let's take fun. Look back at
the week there was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So you got these nuts on alone, take it, take
the crumbs and be happy. Didn't Pam BONDI say that
of the week begin tonight with President Trump his medical
condition and the new diagnosis. The President remains in excellent health, but.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't understand why the Jeffrey empty case would be
of interest to anybody.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
President going on to say, let these weaklings continue forward
and do the Democrats work.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Where are my fellow weaklings at how many of you
are not satisfied with the results of the investment.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's stupid people.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The President announcing plans to sue the Wall Street Journal.
I am very disappointed with President hut Will these be
Patriot missiles specifically or a Patriot batteries that you're planning?
And when you win, you this is really significant because
in you're.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Thirty six trillion dollars in debt and we just don't
have any options anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
We run out of options. We've got to start doing
the hard work. He calls me new scum. You know,
come on, how to explain that to my kid? There
is no sanctuary anywhere. We're going to affect this mission.
Scare the homelanding all right?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
People looking either they're having an affair or that was
very shun.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Elmo is part of the male loneliness epigemic. How about
the nineties.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Resource Friends stopping for San Diego.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I saw a girl in her use a sharpie like
a lipster, and I must try it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You know, I'd rather swim in a pool filled with
the boiling hot sulfus urine of Satan.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Next year will be our last season.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
The network will be ending the Late show in May and.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Ju When Caitlyn Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going
to work at a waffle house so she can continue
doing what she loves most.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Fistfighting black women.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I'm believing breeding. Look at you, good athlete, good athlete.
I'm black Ma Mom's wife. Now, I don't step on
it one. You can't keep stepping on it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I love getting out to live out my dreams.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But at the end of the day, sometimes I just
don't understand the point, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Fistfighting black women is a funny joke, and I watched
the whole Shane gillis SP's monologue yesterday, there's a couple
of jokes in there. So at one point he says,
Megan Rappano could not be here tonight. Nice, and then
the crowd kind of groans because he said, Oh no,
we're gonna pretend she's a good time. Wow. I thought
(05:40):
that was great. And then he ended with which got
no laughs, partially I think because the audience was too young.
But he said, one of my great heroes is Norm MacDonald.
And he said this joke at the end of the
SP's in the nineties, so I'm gonna do the same
joke to end. And then he congratulated whoever won the heisman.
I don't remember. It was congratulations on one in the
heisman something that can never take away from you unless
(06:03):
you kill your ex wife and a friend, and then
they might wow. Wow nice. H Two other things from
clips a week One.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know what I really love about that more than
anything is ESPN has been so suffocatingly woke for so
long as we're talking about I think it was last.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Week, it doesn't matter when earlier. This week.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
They have a one sided rule about politics. If you're conservative,
you cannot say anything, but if you're you know, liberal,
you're on the right side.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Of things, so you can make political statements. So fu ESPN.
Way to go, Shane. So in the clips of the week,
the whole cold play outing the affair thing. It's amazing
the amount of coverage it's getting and the way it's all,
oh my god, did they get caught? Is the way
everybody's like laughing at it, like it didn't just destroy
(07:07):
several human beings, like like really destroy them emotionally, including children.
I mean, I just it's weird that everybody can, oh
my god, can you a medin? No, I can't imagine,
and you shouldn't. What I don't understand why that's being
treated is so funny. I mean, it's anyway, that's enough
of that. And then the person impersonating the Tucker Carlson
(07:29):
thing I keep mentioning. I listened to one third of
the three hour podcast about Epstein that Tucker Carlson had
last night with his favorite historian. One thing that they
mentioned getting to conspiracies, because you were just talking about
this a second ago, like Tucker at one point said,
I mean that Tucker said, it continues this myth. I mean,
(07:52):
there are like two hundred countries on Earth, and people
act like that these are individual countries blah blah blah,
and that like nobody's controlling them, when you know obvious
there are a handful of human beings controlling all this,
And the historian said, yeah, I mean, it's amazing that
people still believe. And so they just took it as
fact that Darryl Cooper a historian, that's what Tucker called himself.
(08:14):
But it's amazing that they both just took it as fact.
We all agree that there's a cabal of like a
dozen people that run the world. Obviously that's true. What okay, I.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Know exactly what Tucker and Daryl Cooper and company are doing.
It's it's inescapable. Now, I'll put it to you like this.
You got your collectivist, Marxist, woke, neo Marxist rot in education,
(08:52):
and a lot of it's soaked into the media. Journalism
has gone away as a professional. Now it's just advocacy.
And the government is growing out of control.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The bloat, the welfare state, blah blah blah, it's all
going in one direction.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And you could absolutely make the argument that you know,
one or two, or three or all of them together
are existential threats to the health and safety of the
American Republic.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You might put your list in different orders than somebody else,
but you know, it's true, then there are a couple
of different reactions to that reality. My reaction would be
got to keep doing this, spreading the word, convincing people
of what works and what doesn't, convince them that a
(09:45):
lot of the folks in the progressive left are liars,
they're con artists. They're not trying to bring diversity, equity,
and inclusion, and they're trying to bring Marxism in. They're
trying to take down Western civilization. We need to clean
out the rot blah blah blah blah blah and vote
for people who agree. The alternate answer on the right
is it's gone too far for that. We need to
(10:06):
institute some form of totalitarianism to end it by force
now because democracy is too far past the tipping point.
It won't work anymore. And you know, various people would say,
you you old. You know boomers were not boomers, were
(10:27):
gen x. You reagan ie to boomer. You think you
can win it your way, You've lost. Look at the
world we've been doing it your way.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We need.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
An iron hand to stop this. And Tucker's thing, he
would characterize it differently, probably, But and if you think
I'm wrong, I would love to hear your counter argument.
I mean, I actually would like to, because I'd rather
be right and admit that I was wrong later. Tucker
(11:03):
is so smart and such a brilliant writer. He is
trying to sell us on the second way. Call it
fascism if you like, or whatever. His buddy Darryl Cooper's
actually called for totalitarianism on the record. He's trying to
(11:24):
sell you that without naming it. So by the time,
by the time you are convinced that you know what
he's right about all that stuff, by the time he
pulls up the curtain and names it, you're already with him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He's led you there.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, exactly. I honestly think that's what he is up to.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's interesting. I have been assuming for a while that
Tucker's main goal was just wealth, but he hates that
idea either.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But that was the one thing that mystified me so
much about Tucker's turn of late is that I was
completely convinced that he is a patriot and loves this
country and loves Western civilization and the rest of it.
And so I couldn't quite figure out why what he
was doing and why he was doing it. But now
I think I get it. He is among those who
(12:18):
believe we're too far gone to save it with democracy.
If I am wrong, please let me know mailbag at
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
One nugget before we take a break, and then Joe's
going to read the whole birthday card letter from Trump
to Epstein that the Wall Street Jo allegedly Wall Street
drone printed today. This Byron York serious journalist retweeted this
this information. Well, the timing and optics are horrible about
Stephen Colbert being fired. Here's the reality. The show costs
(12:48):
more than one hundred million year dollars a year to produce,
and it's losing more than forty million dollars a year.
What that's what it says here costs one hundred million
dollars a year to produce, and it has been loose
using forty million a year. CBS executive been pulling the
plug for a long time. I guess it would be
a lost leader like you get so much attention for
(13:13):
the promote your vote your other shows. Theoretic, But if
that's true viral moments, that's true. You don't need a
political reason to get rid of the gay See if
this sounds like Trump to you. According to Wall Street Journal,
he wrote a birthday card to Epstein. We'll have that
for you next. So I was hoping the Epstein story
(13:42):
was dying down. Then the Wall Street Journal has big,
giant front page, top of the fold exclusive today. Donald
Trump signed a birthday card with a note for Epstein
on his fiftieth birthday. Trump says it's not true and
is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So, actually, what happened was Julane Maxwell is Pervo, Epstein's
pervo rape assistant friend lover was preparing a special gift.
She collected letters from dozens of Epstein's associates for his
two thousand and three birthday album and bound it in
leather and presented it as a gift to him. And
(14:22):
allegedly there's a letter bearing Trump's name its body. Like
others in the album, it contains several lines of typewritt intexts,
which we'll get to, framed by the outline of a
naked woman, which appears to be hand drawn with a
heavy marker, A small a pair of small arcs denotes
the woman's breasts, and the future woman's signature is a
squigly Donald below her waist, mimicking her public area.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
The letter famously concludes with happy birthday, and may every
day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Whatever the hell that means. Yeah, that's weird. Trump said.
This is not me.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street
Journal's story. I never wrote a picture in my life.
I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language,
it's not my words. So here's the rest of it.
And for what it's worth, I think this aspect of
this big blockbuster story will be gone in days and
nobody will ever talk about it again. It proves nothing
(15:19):
at leads to nothing. It's just silly, but it is amusing.
Let's see they go through a bunch of all.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It isn't clear how the letter with Trump's signature was prepared.
Inside of the outline of the naked woman was a
type written note styled is an imaginary conversation between Trump
and Epstein, written in the third person.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I'm gonna read it literally verbatim. Voice already sounds more
artistic than Trump would likely be. I would agree, voiceover.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
There must be more to life than having everything Donald, yes, is,
but I won't tell you what it is, Jeffrey, Nor
will I, since I already know what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Donald.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey, Yes, we do,
come to think of it, Donald, Enigma's never age. Have
you noticed that, Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, it
was clear to me the last time I saw you, Donald,
A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may
every day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
What a load of crap. So some of the pushback
was Donald Trump has never used the word enigma in
his life. I heard Jonah Goldberg say that the other day.
But then somebody found Donald Trump saying the word enigma
on during one of his rambling speeches at some point
years ago. So he has used the word. That doesn't
prove anything either.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Here's the bottom line. They were part of the same
big social circle in the two thousands in Florida and
New York. Everybody who is anybody knew both of them. Yeah,
from scientists to stars to the movers and shakers of
Wall Street. It's utterly unsurprising. He would have sent the
guy a note saying happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think he would send a note. Would he craft
a imaginary conversation. It just doesn't seem very trump like
to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Sort of that Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We live in snarky times. Some of the funnier comments
people have made online about the couple that got caught
at the Coldplay concert. I'll get to that next segment. Oh,
I hate to see.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Over other people's misery. I don't approve. So this is
getting a fair amount of attention. It's kind of interesting
on a number of different levels, which we'll discuss in
a moment or two. You are going to hear John Brown,
who is a former big time body builder and also
the father of a couple of NFL players passed. I
think one might be formal. Another is a top tier
(17:58):
college football player. His name is John Brown. His sons,
the NFL players, are a Mom Raw, Saint Brown, and
Equanimious Saint Brown. I don't know adding the saint thing
in there on how that works exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Perhaps the Pope sainted them. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I wasn't looking, but he was on his son Ammon
Raw podcast and it went like this.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
What's the question that they asked you most about? How
you got three kids to go D one and two
in the NFL? If they want to know in general,
how I did it. I believe in breeding. Look at you,
good athlete, good athlete. I'm black, mom's mom's wife. Now,
I don't step on it once. You can't keep stepping
on it because you're gonna mess it up. You can't
(18:50):
keep cutting it. Can't keep cutting it.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
No, No, you you, you and Brooklyn Brooklyn's hat. If
I cut it one more, time is over. You can't
keep cutting it. He hadn't be careful. You can keep
killlling it. You gotta think about that, you know what
I mean. No, if I'm black, I got the black
gold run through my veins. I'm excited. I'm just gonna
(19:12):
find the right person to mate with, all right. And
if I'm white, I'm saying, let me get one of
these brothers around here. If you want to have athletes.
If you don't have athletes, then just go ahead and
just read your seat wherever. So why did you cut
it once with us? Because I know I can't cut
it one because he's gold gold in me and Mama
got that big knold. I said, look, ain't I'm wrong,
(19:33):
big told woman. Ye're thinking this stuff some guys don't
think of until later. Ago, Like I'm standing at Pop Warner.
You wouldn't know you're on the field of one of
you guys on the field playing. And I was talking
to a guy, told him the story because you were
thinking about that John, and go, yeah, you weren't. He goes, hell, no, man,
he's a little the wife's little kids, a little everybody little.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's over at little little chicken little.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
First of all, I really kind of loved the way
the boys are kidding their dad and winking to each
other about dad.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
But with that chin in those big toes, what ain't
nothing wrong with a big toad woman. Never before.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
The striking thing about this is, you know, for the
longest time, you didn't dare say anything about you know,
race and sports, and you're supposed to like kind of
not notice that the NFL is whatever it is, sixty
eight percent black or eighty five or whatever it is, Well, right, yes,
(20:39):
and and sprinters are almost the great champions. It just etcetera.
But he's saying, look, I'm a black guy, I got
a white woman. But you can't be cutting it anymore.
And at one point he says, you and Brooklyn, that's
Ammon Ra's fiance.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She's half and half. You have a chance. You can't
keep cutting it, diluting the blackness of the kids. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, because he's got the black gold running through his veace.
As he said, I are we supposed to condemn. Let
me take a look. I've read a couple of comments
on this. You know, it's funny. Nobody in the media.
I'm just scrolling real quick. But luckily I took a
(21:26):
speed reading course back in the seventies when that was
the thing. Nobody knows what to say about it. They
just feature it and then kind of go about their business.
So I think it's interesting that he believes they don't
(21:46):
want to step in the racial thing.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, even now, I think it's interesting to me
that he's kind of shocked that other people didn't think
this way when they were picking mates about that, trying
to breed the right kind of person. Well, you didn't
think about this all. I look him. They're all little,
he's littlely, They're a little, little.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Little right, Yeah, exactly. He's talking to a guy at
a Pop Warner football game. Of course, you got little kids,
not big strong guys who'll make it d one in NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
You didn't think about it when you got married.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You married because you loved her, Please, so you're nothing
wrong with a big toad woman.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It seems like something from an old timey blues song.
Oh it really does. You're I'm going to assume you're
aware of the cold Play story and a couple caught
on the kiss cam and they're having an affair, and
how it's blown up. The fact that this guy put
out a statement, this CEO trying to I don't know
if he's trying to save his job as CEO or
(22:43):
he puts out a statement I want to acknowledge a
moment that's been circulating online and the disappointment it's cost,
but that he ends with. Also, I also want to
express how troubling it is that what should have been
a private moment became public without my consent. I respect
to artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all
think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's
life into a spectacle. So the fact that you got caught,
(23:06):
You're out in public in a concert, the camera pans
your way, and you're with your mistress.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's their fault. What a weird angle that is. You
are having a private moment quote unquote in a stadium
full of people.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What does that even mean? You a numb skull? What
a dumb thing to say?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, wow, Actually, because he was trying to do the
I've let so many people down I care about I
am a terrible person, me a couple of mea culpa.
But then he goes with but you know where does
Coldplay get off like showing videos of people and stuff
because it was a private moment.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Guy's clearly art, dude. Yeah. Some of the comments on
moron uh not. The bee said they're holding each other
so close you probably land to buy one ticket. This
is from a guy claiming that he lost his job
because he bought the tickets for the couple and now
he's been fired. That has been debunked. That's not actually true.
But one of the comments to the guy that worked
(24:03):
there claiming he bought the tickets and got fired was
buying tickets to a Coldboy concert is significant grounds for
termination irrespective, which is pretty funny. This is my favorite
one though, my favorite meme that was put out there.
So the picture is you gotta have the picture with
the caption. Like a lot of memes, the picture is
a guy smiling sitting at the kitchen table with a
(24:26):
cup of coffee in the morning, opening his laptop, and
the caption is, ah, what a peaceful morning. My wife
went to a cold Play concert with her boss last night,
so she's sleeping in time to browse social media.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I wonder you know, and this is not funny, but
I wonder how or when her husband and his wife
found out. I'll bet it was through social media the
next day, because I doubt either one of them went
home with the They probably went home with the assumption
hopefully they won't hear about this, or or the assumption
(25:04):
that it wasn't going to leave that concert they got
caught on nobody recognized us at the concert? Yeah, I
mean so Chris Martin mentioning, oh my god, they haven't
an affair or what the way they ducked away? Whoever
screen captured that and put it out there. That's a
heck of a thing. So they probably thought they were
keeping a secret. So I'll bet I'll bet their respective
(25:24):
spouses did find out through social media, which is brutal.
I like this line. Coldplay hasn't made a single in years.
Last night they made two. Uh huh. Also, laughing about
a marriage splitting up, which is not very funny really.
But there's one more I wanted to get to, but
I don't remember to one that is, Ah, that is
(25:46):
quite the development. I'm trying to verify that she's married
to you've heard, Yeah, they're both married. That's what. She's
a cutie. Wow, what are you two doing? I don't know.
She'd just been promoted to that position jack, no pun intention. Ah,
what a peaceful morning. My wife went to the Coldplay
(26:06):
concert with her boss last night. She's sleeping in time
to browse social media with my cup of coffee. Oh
that is dry delicious. That's wrong. Oh my gosh, it
is rough. It's it's terrible. I can't believe he tried
to blame cold Play. Dude, take take. I talk to
(26:28):
my kids just about all the all the time. I
got I've got no patience for blaming something, something or
someone else for something that's your fault. And uh and dude,
take responsibility. You're the sole creator of this mess.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean, the guy who has this sort of judgment
to put out that statement. Is this sort of guy
who has this sort of judgment that he needs to.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Put out that statement he is.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He is just that guy, right, you're gonna blame We're
trying to have a private moment. They're in the concert
hall with thousands of other people and with public you know,
with the married. Yeah, exactly people's spouses.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
How dare you interrupt a private bomb up there? Guitar man? Wow,
what an asshapen? No kidding. We will finish strong next.
So this is tangential to the Coldplay married couple of
(27:30):
fair story, but it's pretty interesting and it gets to
the whole troll aspect of modern life. I get this
kind of troll. I don't get those of you who
just go online and criticize regular people to get under
their skin. I don't understand that trolling. This kind of
trolling I kind of get.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh. I came across this originally and believed it. This
guy said, I work for this whatever the company was
that the CEO got caught in the affair. He said,
I work there. I just lost my job. They're blaming
me because I bought them the Coldplay tickets. And then
there was a ton of sympathy poured in on that's
not fair or well, you are responsible somewhat. And then
(28:13):
I finally read enough of them. Somebody said, don't fall
for this as fake. This guy is constantly claiming to
have been fired from whatever company is in the news
right now. So whatever whatever news story is going on
with a company, he claims he just got fired then
and then people react.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
As he started like a GoFundMe page as he propped
me from this. Well, oh, he actually explains.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It here because I got into his Twitter feed. He said,
incredible content, incredible content today, top five day on this
app where he does this all the time. He's really
enjoying the responses to the he bought the Coldplay tickets.
He says at one point, I don't understand how this
continues to work. He's been doing this forever. I guess, wow,
(28:59):
so this.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
This is like just a meta gag he pulls, claiming
to beat to tangential to the big.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Story of the day and always I got fired, right,
And lots of people who are in on the joke
go to his site just to see him claiming to
be fired and the way people react to it, and
then other people don't know. I was trying to find
the one where it said like why do you do this, dude?
And he said, I just do it for the love
(29:27):
of the game. I get nothing out that is so hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
That is that is so see that's art, man, that's art.
Just the trolling you're talking about is pathetic. It's like
throwing a rock through a window and saying, look what
I can do.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
But that is art. Yeah, Like if Tesla, I'm going
back through it. Like if Tesla's in the news, I'd
have to go back through the news cycles to figure
out how they fit. But just whoever said the news
he claimed it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I just got fired from Tesla because Elon found out
I raised money for Donald Trump, right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That sort of thing. God, I'm saying, I can't believe
this continues to work. Oh that's some funny trolling. Yeah,
he's the Internet man of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I just I got fired. Here's the bad news. I
got fired because I bought the Coldplay tickets. Oh my god,
that's funny. Somebody sent us actual screen captures from a
recent HR training session that they had at their car.
Now that this also fits into the Coldplay store because
she was the HR director. So and I don't have
(30:38):
time for this. Maybe I'll do it next week because
it's good. No matter what we're always talking about these
HR company training sessions and everything like that. Micro messages
is what you got to look out for. Language is
constantly evolving, and some words have become outdated and inappropriate.
A recommended term is TGD transgender diverse. So this is
(31:02):
somebody's company training who is so far hipper than this.
I hadn't even never heard DGD, had you? No, that's
the term you're supposed to be using now. It has
here the list of outdated terminology, and again somebody screen
captured this from their actual company HR many outdated terminology
terminology transvestite. I knew that hermaphrodite transgendered female to male FtM,
(31:27):
male to male MTF. I thought that was okay.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Biologically no, you're not allowed to say female to male
or male to female.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's interesting, gender identity disorder. You're not supposed to say
preferred pronouns are outdated terminology. You're not supposed to say
preferred pronouns sex reassignment surgery, transsexual.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
So they're saying forbid you from saying biologically female or
biologically male.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
But the recommended term now is TGD, which is trans
gender gender diverse.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Okay, Wow, they're too hit for the room as always. No, No,
it's an exercise to get you to submit to use
that term. Hey boy, we told you to use this
term before. Now you use this term and you say yes, sir,
don't hurt me, sir, and you submit to them.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's what it's all about. The training said. The HR
training said, be mindful of language gendered terms to avoid ladies, ma'am, gentlemen, sir, girls, guys,
consider instead using thanks, friends, have a good night or
good morning folks. Hi, everyone, can I get you all something? See,
(32:38):
you don't say, hey, can I get you guys something?
Because obviously somebody would be deeply, deeply hurt and their
lives damaged if if you said, could I get you
guys something?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And we gotta be like Disney and drop ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls drop that.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's gendered language.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
See, I'm not in your cult. Why would I use
the terminology of your cult if I'm not in it?
And friends, particularly friends in the media, why would you
use the terms of the cult like gender affirming care
when you're not in that cult?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Don't even without that I just can't believe that companies
are paying some firm, probably shocking amounts of money to
come up with this slide presentation to tell you to
say say fank friends, thanks friends, or don't say thanks everybody,
or thanks guys or ladies and gentlemen or anything like that,
because again, somebody will be deeply, deeply wounded. Of course,
(33:40):
I'm not sure it's that you don't want to get sued.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Well yeah, well that and I was just going to say,
I'm not sure who I have more contempt for the
neo Marxists who are trying to foist this honest because
they're trying to take over institutions, or the fools that
are so weak minded they fall for the qua moral
arguments that this is why you must teach.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Your employees this. It's very important. Oh okay, we will,
We'll teach them that idiots. Hey kids, it's that time
again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Michaelangelo was pressing the buttets in the control room.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Lead us off.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Michael, you know, when I was younger, i'd go to
NBA games, and I got admit one of my.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Biggest fears there was two things.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
It was getting on the kiss cam or being selected
for the NBA halftime where you throw you have to
make the shot from half court to win a prize,
and I just didn't want the crowd to boom me.
So I've overcome my fear of the kiss cam and
NBA half court shooting.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Congratulations, Katie Green are a steam newswoman. Has the day off, Jack,
Do you have a final thought for us?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I just want to tip my cap to Alex Cohen,
one of my favorite Twitter people ever, who so every
week pretends to have been fired from whatever company's in
the news and then lets everybody react for his own enjoyment. God,
we live in a world. Weird world now, Yeah, I
tip my cap to him.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I tip my cap also to Uri Berliner, the former
NPR executive who was writing about the defunding of NPR,
and he wrote, it's a self inflicted wound, a product
of how NPR embraced a fringe progressivism that cost it
any legitimate claim to stand as an impartial provider of news,
much less one deserving of government support.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No doubt, look around you. Who else is using the
term LATINX but you you weirdos. Armstrong and Geddy wrapping
up another grueling four our workday, so many people.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong and Geddy dot com.
Great hot links for you, Kadi's corner. Drop us a note.
If you see something we ought to be talking about.
Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, well you're there.
Pick up a T shirt or a hoodie or a
hat or something for your favorite am gfan. Helps to
keep everybody on the payroll during these challenging times.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We will see you on Monday, and who knows what
story will be where by then, God bless America. Stop
talking about it. I'm strong and ive you with a
quote that's not inspiring, it's not fair, it seems irresponsible.
(36:25):
You know, it's not a victory. It's a it's a
surrender because it's it's it's so childish, it's so juvenile,
and is this great?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Were now by a great Friday Mother, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. What what did
(00:22):
Trump allegedly write on Epstein's birthday card? According to The
Wall Street drawn have another may every day be a
secret day? Or whatever? Whatever the hell is that would
ever say that?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I actually got the full text of it, which we
should have gotten to earlier.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, well, let's do that after clips of the week
I would like to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But the key line is happy birthday and may every
day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I know, who would ever say that? You give me
a context, make the context up where that makes sense
unless you got some sort of giant secret that you
two are in on.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, yeah, I'm trying to come up with like an
innocent explanation.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Trump denies that he wrote the letter, and I don't
know the think that he probably did. But you and
your friend have a secret place that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You go with a beautiful view of the mountains, and
it's a trail nobody's on, and you write the next
day tour, may every day be another wonderful secret?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, I guess maybe I'm stretching here. I want to
hear the whole letter, so.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, yeah, it's it's intriguing. You want to hear an
Epstein joke before we get started? Sure, that was an
actual question. This is from a long time a friend
of the Armstrong and Getty show and listener Andy shout out, Andy,
I hope you're doing well and your brother as well.
Man dies, reaches heaven. God says you get one question, truth,
(02:00):
full disclosure. Guy goes cool, Who killed Epstein? God replies,
he took his own life.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No one helped.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Guy says, wow, masad cover up. Goes hired than I thought.
All right, that's you can't satisfy those who believe in
the Grand Conspiracy. That's the nature of it. That's what
it's designed to do. By the way, it's a perpetual
tune in slash revenue machine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh I got a little more on that, but we'll
do okay, we'll do this first. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
First, it's Friday tradition. Let's take fun. Look back at
the week there was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So you got these nuts on alone, take it, take
the crumbs and be happy. Didn't Pam BONDI say that
of the week begin tonight with President Trump his medical
condition and the new diagnosis. The President remains in excellent health, but.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't understand why the Jeffrey empty case would be
of interest to anybody.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
President going on to say, let these weaklings continue forward
and do the Democrats work.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Where are my fellow weaklings at how many of you
are not satisfied with the results of the investment.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's stupid people.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The President announcing plans to sue the Wall Street Journal.
I am very disappointed with President hut Will these be
Patriot missiles specifically or a Patriot batteries that you're planning?
And when you win, you this is really significant because
in you're.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Thirty six trillion dollars in debt and we just don't
have any options anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
We run out of options. We've got to start doing
the hard work. He calls me new scum. You know,
come on, how to explain that to my kid? There
is no sanctuary anywhere. We're going to affect this mission.
Scare the homelanding all right?

I'm believing breeding. Look at you, good athlete, good athlete.
I'm black Ma Mom's wife. Now, I don't step on
it one. You can't keep stepping on it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I love getting out to live out my dreams.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But at the end of the day, sometimes I just
don't understand the point, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Fistfighting black women is a funny joke, and I watched
the whole Shane gillis SP's monologue yesterday, there's a couple
of jokes in there. So at one point he says,
Megan Rappano could not be here tonight. Nice, and then
the crowd kind of groans because he said, Oh no,
we're gonna pretend she's a good time. Wow. I thought
(05:40):
that was great. And then he ended with which got
no laughs, partially I think because the audience was too young.
But he said, one of my great heroes is Norm MacDonald.
And he said this joke at the end of the
SP's in the nineties, so I'm gonna do the same
joke to end. And then he congratulated whoever won the heisman.
I don't remember. It was congratulations on one in the
heisman something that can never take away from you unless
(06:03):
you kill your ex wife and a friend, and then
they might wow. Wow nice. H Two other things from
clips a week One.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know what I really love about that more than
anything is ESPN has been so suffocatingly woke for so
long as we're talking about I think it was last.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Week, it doesn't matter when earlier. This week.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
They have a one sided rule about politics. If you're conservative,
you cannot say anything, but if you're you know, liberal,
you're on the right side.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Of things, so you can make political statements. So fu ESPN.
Way to go, Shane. So in the clips of the week,
the whole cold play outing the affair thing. It's amazing
the amount of coverage it's getting and the way it's all,
oh my god, did they get caught? Is the way
everybody's like laughing at it, like it didn't just destroy
(07:07):
several human beings, like like really destroy them emotionally, including children.
I mean, I just it's weird that everybody can, oh
my god, can you a medin? No, I can't imagine,
and you shouldn't. What I don't understand why that's being
treated is so funny. I mean, it's anyway, that's enough
of that. And then the person impersonating the Tucker Carlson
(07:29):
thing I keep mentioning. I listened to one third of
the three hour podcast about Epstein that Tucker Carlson had
last night with his favorite historian. One thing that they
mentioned getting to conspiracies, because you were just talking about
this a second ago, like Tucker at one point said,
I mean that Tucker said, it continues this myth. I mean,
(07:52):
there are like two hundred countries on Earth, and people
act like that these are individual countries blah blah blah,
and that like nobody's controlling them, when you know obvious
there are a handful of human beings controlling all this,
And the historian said, yeah, I mean, it's amazing that
people still believe. And so they just took it as
fact that Darryl Cooper a historian, that's what Tucker called himself.
(08:14):
But it's amazing that they both just took it as fact.
We all agree that there's a cabal of like a
dozen people that run the world. Obviously that's true. What okay, I.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Know exactly what Tucker and Daryl Cooper and company are doing.
It's it's inescapable. Now, I'll put it to you like this.
You got your collectivist, Marxist, woke, neo Marxist rot in education,
(08:52):
and a lot of it's soaked into the media. Journalism
has gone away as a professional. Now it's just advocacy.
And the government is growing out of control.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The bloat, the welfare state, blah blah blah, it's all
going in one direction.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And you could absolutely make the argument that you know,
one or two, or three or all of them together
are existential threats to the health and safety of the
American Republic.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You might put your list in different orders than somebody else,
but you know, it's true, then there are a couple
of different reactions to that reality. My reaction would be
got to keep doing this, spreading the word, convincing people
of what works and what doesn't, convince them that a
(09:45):
lot of the folks in the progressive left are liars,
they're con artists. They're not trying to bring diversity, equity,
and inclusion, and they're trying to bring Marxism in. They're
trying to take down Western civilization. We need to clean
out the rot blah blah blah blah blah and vote
for people who agree. The alternate answer on the right
is it's gone too far for that. We need to
(10:06):
institute some form of totalitarianism to end it by force
now because democracy is too far past the tipping point.
It won't work anymore. And you know, various people would say,
you you old. You know boomers were not boomers, were
(10:27):
gen x. You reagan ie to boomer. You think you
can win it your way, You've lost. Look at the
world we've been doing it your way.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We need.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
An iron hand to stop this. And Tucker's thing, he
would characterize it differently, probably, But and if you think
I'm wrong, I would love to hear your counter argument.
I mean, I actually would like to, because I'd rather
be right and admit that I was wrong later. Tucker
(11:03):
is so smart and such a brilliant writer. He is
trying to sell us on the second way. Call it
fascism if you like, or whatever. His buddy Darryl Cooper's
actually called for totalitarianism on the record. He's trying to
(11:24):
sell you that without naming it. So by the time,
by the time you are convinced that you know what
he's right about all that stuff, by the time he
pulls up the curtain and names it, you're already with him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He's led you there.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, exactly. I honestly think that's what he is up to.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's interesting. I have been assuming for a while that
Tucker's main goal was just wealth, but he hates that
idea either.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But that was the one thing that mystified me so
much about Tucker's turn of late is that I was
completely convinced that he is a patriot and loves this
country and loves Western civilization and the rest of it.
And so I couldn't quite figure out why what he
was doing and why he was doing it. But now
I think I get it. He is among those who
(12:18):
believe we're too far gone to save it with democracy.
If I am wrong, please let me know mailbag at
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
One nugget before we take a break, and then Joe's
going to read the whole birthday card letter from Trump
to Epstein that the Wall Street Jo allegedly Wall Street
drone printed today. This Byron York serious journalist retweeted this
this information. Well, the timing and optics are horrible about
Stephen Colbert being fired. Here's the reality. The show costs
(12:48):
more than one hundred million year dollars a year to produce,
and it's losing more than forty million dollars a year.
What that's what it says here costs one hundred million
dollars a year to produce, and it has been loose
using forty million a year. CBS executive been pulling the
plug for a long time. I guess it would be
a lost leader like you get so much attention for
(13:13):
the promote your vote your other shows. Theoretic, But if
that's true viral moments, that's true. You don't need a
political reason to get rid of the gay See if
this sounds like Trump to you. According to Wall Street Journal,
he wrote a birthday card to Epstein. We'll have that
for you next. So I was hoping the Epstein story
(13:42):
was dying down. Then the Wall Street Journal has big,
giant front page, top of the fold exclusive today. Donald
Trump signed a birthday card with a note for Epstein
on his fiftieth birthday. Trump says it's not true and
is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So, actually, what happened was Julane Maxwell is Pervo, Epstein's
pervo rape assistant friend lover was preparing a special gift.
She collected letters from dozens of Epstein's associates for his
two thousand and three birthday album and bound it in
leather and presented it as a gift to him. And
(14:22):
allegedly there's a letter bearing Trump's name its body. Like
others in the album, it contains several lines of typewritt intexts,
which we'll get to, framed by the outline of a
naked woman, which appears to be hand drawn with a
heavy marker, A small a pair of small arcs denotes
the woman's breasts, and the future woman's signature is a
squigly Donald below her waist, mimicking her public area.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
The letter famously concludes with happy birthday, and may every
day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Whatever the hell that means. Yeah, that's weird. Trump said.
This is not me.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street
Journal's story. I never wrote a picture in my life.
I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language,
it's not my words. So here's the rest of it.
And for what it's worth, I think this aspect of
this big blockbuster story will be gone in days and
nobody will ever talk about it again. It proves nothing
(15:19):
at leads to nothing. It's just silly, but it is amusing.
Let's see they go through a bunch of all.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It isn't clear how the letter with Trump's signature was prepared.
Inside of the outline of the naked woman was a
type written note styled is an imaginary conversation between Trump
and Epstein, written in the third person.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I'm gonna read it literally verbatim. Voice already sounds more
artistic than Trump would likely be. I would agree, voiceover.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
There must be more to life than having everything Donald, yes, is,
but I won't tell you what it is, Jeffrey, Nor
will I, since I already know what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Donald.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey, Yes, we do,
come to think of it, Donald, Enigma's never age. Have
you noticed that, Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, it
was clear to me the last time I saw you, Donald,
A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may
every day be another wonderful secret.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
What a load of crap. So some of the pushback
was Donald Trump has never used the word enigma in
his life. I heard Jonah Goldberg say that the other day.
But then somebody found Donald Trump saying the word enigma
on during one of his rambling speeches at some point
years ago. So he has used the word. That doesn't
prove anything either.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Here's the bottom line. They were part of the same
big social circle in the two thousands in Florida and
New York. Everybody who is anybody knew both of them. Yeah,
from scientists to stars to the movers and shakers of
Wall Street. It's utterly unsurprising. He would have sent the
guy a note saying happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think he would send a note. Would he craft
a imaginary conversation. It just doesn't seem very trump like
to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Sort of that Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We live in snarky times. Some of the funnier comments
people have made online about the couple that got caught
at the Coldplay concert. I'll get to that next segment. Oh,
I hate to see.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Over other people's misery. I don't approve. So this is
getting a fair amount of attention. It's kind of interesting
on a number of different levels, which we'll discuss in
a moment or two. You are going to hear John Brown,
who is a former big time body builder and also
the father of a couple of NFL players passed. I
think one might be formal. Another is a top tier
(17:58):
college football player. His name is John Brown. His sons,
the NFL players, are a Mom Raw, Saint Brown, and
Equanimious Saint Brown. I don't know adding the saint thing
in there on how that works exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Perhaps the Pope sainted them. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I wasn't looking, but he was on his son Ammon
Raw podcast and it went like this.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
What's the question that they asked you most about? How
you got three kids to go D one and two
in the NFL? If they want to know in general,
how I did it. I believe in breeding. Look at you,
good athlete, good athlete. I'm black, mom's mom's wife. Now,
I don't step on it once. You can't keep stepping
on it because you're gonna mess it up. You can't
(18:50):
keep cutting it. Can't keep cutting it.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
No, No, you you, you and Brooklyn Brooklyn's hat. If
I cut it one more, time is over. You can't
keep cutting it. He hadn't be careful. You can keep
killlling it. You gotta think about that, you know what
I mean. No, if I'm black, I got the black
gold run through my veins. I'm excited. I'm just gonna
(19:12):
find the right person to mate with, all right. And
if I'm white, I'm saying, let me get one of
these brothers around here. If you want to have athletes.
If you don't have athletes, then just go ahead and
just read your seat wherever. So why did you cut
it once with us? Because I know I can't cut
it one because he's gold gold in me and Mama
got that big knold. I said, look, ain't I'm wrong,
(19:33):
big told woman. Ye're thinking this stuff some guys don't
think of until later. Ago, Like I'm standing at Pop Warner.
You wouldn't know you're on the field of one of
you guys on the field playing. And I was talking
to a guy, told him the story because you were
thinking about that John, and go, yeah, you weren't. He goes, hell, no, man,
he's a little the wife's little kids, a little everybody little.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's over at little little chicken little.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
First of all, I really kind of loved the way
the boys are kidding their dad and winking to each
other about dad.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
But with that chin in those big toes, what ain't
nothing wrong with a big toad woman. Never before.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
The striking thing about this is, you know, for the
longest time, you didn't dare say anything about you know,
race and sports, and you're supposed to like kind of
not notice that the NFL is whatever it is, sixty
eight percent black or eighty five or whatever it is, Well, right, yes,
(20:39):
and and sprinters are almost the great champions. It just etcetera.
But he's saying, look, I'm a black guy, I got
a white woman. But you can't be cutting it anymore.
And at one point he says, you and Brooklyn, that's
Ammon Ra's fiance.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She's half and half. You have a chance. You can't
keep cutting it, diluting the blackness of the kids. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, because he's got the black gold running through his veace.
As he said, I are we supposed to condemn. Let
me take a look. I've read a couple of comments
on this. You know, it's funny. Nobody in the media.
I'm just scrolling real quick. But luckily I took a
(21:26):
speed reading course back in the seventies when that was
the thing. Nobody knows what to say about it. They
just feature it and then kind of go about their business.
So I think it's interesting that he believes they don't
(21:46):
want to step in the racial thing.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, even now, I think it's interesting to me
that he's kind of shocked that other people didn't think
this way when they were picking mates about that, trying
to breed the right kind of person. Well, you didn't
think about this all. I look him. They're all little,
he's littlely, They're a little, little.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Little right, Yeah, exactly. He's talking to a guy at
a Pop Warner football game. Of course, you got little kids,
not big strong guys who'll make it d one in NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
You didn't think about it when you got married.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You married because you loved her, Please, so you're nothing
wrong with a big toad woman.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It seems like something from an old timey blues song.
Oh it really does. You're I'm going to assume you're
aware of the cold Play story and a couple caught
on the kiss cam and they're having an affair, and
how it's blown up. The fact that this guy put
out a statement, this CEO trying to I don't know
if he's trying to save his job as CEO or
(22:43):
he puts out a statement I want to acknowledge a
moment that's been circulating online and the disappointment it's cost,
but that he ends with. Also, I also want to
express how troubling it is that what should have been
a private moment became public without my consent. I respect
to artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all
think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's
life into a spectacle. So the fact that you got caught,
(23:06):
You're out in public in a concert, the camera pans
your way, and you're with your mistress.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's their fault. What a weird angle that is. You
are having a private moment quote unquote in a stadium
full of people.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What does that even mean? You a numb skull? What
a dumb thing to say?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, wow, Actually, because he was trying to do the
I've let so many people down I care about I
am a terrible person, me a couple of mea culpa.
But then he goes with but you know where does
Coldplay get off like showing videos of people and stuff
because it was a private moment.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Guy's clearly art, dude. Yeah. Some of the comments on
moron uh not. The bee said they're holding each other
so close you probably land to buy one ticket. This
is from a guy claiming that he lost his job
because he bought the tickets for the couple and now
he's been fired. That has been debunked. That's not actually true.
But one of the comments to the guy that worked
(24:03):
there claiming he bought the tickets and got fired was
buying tickets to a Coldboy concert is significant grounds for
termination irrespective, which is pretty funny. This is my favorite
one though, my favorite meme that was put out there.
So the picture is you gotta have the picture with
the caption. Like a lot of memes, the picture is
a guy smiling sitting at the kitchen table with a
(24:26):
cup of coffee in the morning, opening his laptop, and
the caption is, ah, what a peaceful morning. My wife
went to a cold Play concert with her boss last night,
so she's sleeping in time to browse social media.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I wonder you know, and this is not funny, but
I wonder how or when her husband and his wife
found out. I'll bet it was through social media the
next day, because I doubt either one of them went
home with the They probably went home with the assumption
hopefully they won't hear about this, or or the assumption
(25:04):
that it wasn't going to leave that concert they got
caught on nobody recognized us at the concert? Yeah, I
mean so Chris Martin mentioning, oh my god, they haven't
an affair or what the way they ducked away? Whoever
screen captured that and put it out there. That's a
heck of a thing. So they probably thought they were
keeping a secret. So I'll bet I'll bet their respective
(25:24):
spouses did find out through social media, which is brutal.
I like this line. Coldplay hasn't made a single in years.
Last night they made two. Uh huh. Also, laughing about
a marriage splitting up, which is not very funny really.
But there's one more I wanted to get to, but
I don't remember to one that is, Ah, that is
(25:46):
quite the development. I'm trying to verify that she's married
to you've heard, Yeah, they're both married. That's what. She's
a cutie. Wow, what are you two doing? I don't know.
She'd just been promoted to that position jack, no pun intention. Ah,
what a peaceful morning. My wife went to the Coldplay
(26:06):
concert with her boss last night. She's sleeping in time
to browse social media with my cup of coffee. Oh
that is dry delicious. That's wrong. Oh my gosh, it
is rough. It's it's terrible. I can't believe he tried
to blame cold Play. Dude, take take. I talk to
(26:28):
my kids just about all the all the time. I
got I've got no patience for blaming something, something or
someone else for something that's your fault. And uh and dude,
take responsibility. You're the sole creator of this mess.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean, the guy who has this sort of judgment
to put out that statement. Is this sort of guy
who has this sort of judgment that he needs to.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Put out that statement he is.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He is just that guy, right, you're gonna blame We're
trying to have a private moment. They're in the concert
hall with thousands of other people and with public you know,
with the married. Yeah, exactly people's spouses.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
How dare you interrupt a private bomb up there? Guitar man? Wow,
what an asshapen? No kidding. We will finish strong next.
So this is tangential to the Coldplay married couple of
(27:30):
fair story, but it's pretty interesting and it gets to
the whole troll aspect of modern life. I get this
kind of troll. I don't get those of you who
just go online and criticize regular people to get under
their skin. I don't understand that trolling. This kind of
trolling I kind of get.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh. I came across this originally and believed it. This
guy said, I work for this whatever the company was
that the CEO got caught in the affair. He said,
I work there. I just lost my job. They're blaming
me because I bought them the Coldplay tickets. And then
there was a ton of sympathy poured in on that's
not fair or well, you are responsible somewhat. And then
(28:13):
I finally read enough of them. Somebody said, don't fall
for this as fake. This guy is constantly claiming to
have been fired from whatever company is in the news
right now. So whatever whatever news story is going on
with a company, he claims he just got fired then
and then people react.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
As he started like a GoFundMe page as he propped
me from this. Well, oh, he actually explains.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It here because I got into his Twitter feed. He said,
incredible content, incredible content today, top five day on this
app where he does this all the time. He's really
enjoying the responses to the he bought the Coldplay tickets.
He says at one point, I don't understand how this
continues to work. He's been doing this forever. I guess, wow,
(28:59):
so this.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
This is like just a meta gag he pulls, claiming
to beat to tangential to the big.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Story of the day and always I got fired, right,
And lots of people who are in on the joke
go to his site just to see him claiming to
be fired and the way people react to it, and
then other people don't know. I was trying to find
the one where it said like why do you do this, dude?
And he said, I just do it for the love
(29:27):
of the game. I get nothing out that is so hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
That is that is so see that's art, man, that's art.
Just the trolling you're talking about is pathetic. It's like
throwing a rock through a window and saying, look what
I can do.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
But that is art. Yeah, Like if Tesla, I'm going
back through it. Like if Tesla's in the news, I'd
have to go back through the news cycles to figure
out how they fit. But just whoever said the news
he claimed it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I just got fired from Tesla because Elon found out
I raised money for Donald Trump, right, exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That sort of thing. God, I'm saying, I can't believe
this continues to work. Oh that's some funny trolling. Yeah,
he's the Internet man of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I just I got fired. Here's the bad news. I
got fired because I bought the Coldplay tickets. Oh my god,
that's funny. Somebody sent us actual screen captures from a
recent HR training session that they had at their car.
Now that this also fits into the Coldplay store because
she was the HR director. So and I don't have
(30:38):
time for this. Maybe I'll do it next week because
it's good. No matter what we're always talking about these
HR company training sessions and everything like that. Micro messages
is what you got to look out for. Language is
constantly evolving, and some words have become outdated and inappropriate.
A recommended term is TGD transgender diverse. So this is
(31:02):
somebody's company training who is so far hipper than this.
I hadn't even never heard DGD, had you? No, that's
the term you're supposed to be using now. It has
here the list of outdated terminology, and again somebody screen
captured this from their actual company HR many outdated terminology
terminology transvestite. I knew that hermaphrodite transgendered female to male FtM,
(31:27):
male to male MTF. I thought that was okay.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Biologically no, you're not allowed to say female to male
or male to female.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's interesting, gender identity disorder. You're not supposed to say
preferred pronouns are outdated terminology. You're not supposed to say
preferred pronouns sex reassignment surgery, transsexual.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
So they're saying forbid you from saying biologically female or
biologically male.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
But the recommended term now is TGD, which is trans
gender gender diverse.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Okay, Wow, they're too hit for the room as always. No, No,
it's an exercise to get you to submit to use
that term. Hey boy, we told you to use this
term before. Now you use this term and you say yes, sir,
don't hurt me, sir, and you submit to them.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's what it's all about. The training said. The HR
training said, be mindful of language gendered terms to avoid ladies, ma'am, gentlemen, sir, girls, guys,
consider instead using thanks, friends, have a good night or
good morning folks. Hi, everyone, can I get you all something? See,
(32:38):
you don't say, hey, can I get you guys something?
Because obviously somebody would be deeply, deeply hurt and their
lives damaged if if you said, could I get you
guys something?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And we gotta be like Disney and drop ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls drop that.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's gendered language.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
See, I'm not in your cult. Why would I use
the terminology of your cult if I'm not in it?
And friends, particularly friends in the media, why would you
use the terms of the cult like gender affirming care
when you're not in that cult?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Don't even without that I just can't believe that companies
are paying some firm, probably shocking amounts of money to
come up with this slide presentation to tell you to
say say fank friends, thanks friends, or don't say thanks everybody,
or thanks guys or ladies and gentlemen or anything like that,
because again, somebody will be deeply, deeply wounded. Of course,
(33:40):
I'm not sure it's that you don't want to get sued.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Well yeah, well that and I was just going to say,
I'm not sure who I have more contempt for the
neo Marxists who are trying to foist this honest because
they're trying to take over institutions, or the fools that
are so weak minded they fall for the qua moral
arguments that this is why you must teach.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Your employees this. It's very important. Oh okay, we will,
We'll teach them that idiots. Hey kids, it's that time
again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Michaelangelo was pressing the buttets in the control room.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Lead us off.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Michael, you know, when I was younger, i'd go to
NBA games, and I got admit one of my.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Biggest fears there was two things.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
It was getting on the kiss cam or being selected
for the NBA halftime where you throw you have to
make the shot from half court to win a prize,
and I just didn't want the crowd to boom me.
So I've overcome my fear of the kiss cam and
NBA half court shooting.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Congratulations, Katie Green are a steam newswoman. Has the day off, Jack,
Do you have a final thought for us?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I just want to tip my cap to Alex Cohen,
one of my favorite Twitter people ever, who so every
week pretends to have been fired from whatever company's in
the news and then lets everybody react for his own enjoyment. God,
we live in a world. Weird world now, Yeah, I
tip my cap to him.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I tip my cap also to Uri Berliner, the former
NPR executive who was writing about the defunding of NPR,
and he wrote, it's a self inflicted wound, a product
of how NPR embraced a fringe progressivism that cost it
any legitimate claim to stand as an impartial provider of news,
much less one deserving of government support.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No doubt, look around you. Who else is using the
term LATINX but you you weirdos. Armstrong and Geddy wrapping
up another grueling four our workday, so many people.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong and Geddy dot com.
Great hot links for you, Kadi's corner. Drop us a note.
If you see something we ought to be talking about.
Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, well you're there.
Pick up a T shirt or a hoodie or a
hat or something for your favorite am gfan. Helps to
keep everybody on the payroll during these challenging times.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We will see you on Monday, and who knows what
story will be where by then, God bless America. Stop
talking about it. I'm strong and ive you with a
quote that's not inspiring, it's not fair, it seems irresponsible.
(36:25):
You know, it's not a victory. It's a it's a
surrender because it's it's it's so childish, it's so juvenile,
and is this great?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
