Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Geddy Show.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Independent presidential candid Robert F. Kennedy Junior posted on X
yesterday and said quote, I offer to eat five more
brainworms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in
a debate.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
And this can't be good.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
His supporters have already made it a TikTok challenge.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I go hike, and I hiked up hill a mile
and a half up and a mile and a half
down with my dogs, and I do my meditations, and
then I go to the gym, and I go to
the gym for thirty five.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Minutes explaining how fit and fine he is in spite
of the whole brainworm thing. That's pretty good line.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
The I could eat five more worms and still beat
both of those guys in debate.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's a decent line. Yeah, it is really. I heard
an unnecessarily long report on a certain out media outlet
that is well communist and supported by your tax dollars,
with an unnecessarily long feature on parasitic worms. Oh boy,
but he's cured. He's fine, He's great and.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well did it actually happen because he was in a
case where he was trying to argue that he couldn't work.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So yeah, that part may be phonny, but yeah, I
understand it did happen. He was treated for that. He
caught him traveling overseas, And they can go from your
gut up into your brain in some circumstances, and sometimes
it's one hundred percent harmless. Sometimes it can cause seizures
and all sorts of problems. Just depends where in your
brain they decide to start gnawing, which is a horrifying thought.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Trump is going to use a line about a worm
eat in your brain if they ever debate.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, think Floyd fans. Yeah, I know I'm way ahead
of So this is interesting. It's not really impactful or important,
but it's interesting. JFK Jrs. I'm sorry. RFK Junior's cousin,
Jack Closhberg is doing a bunch of Instagram videos mocking
(02:17):
RFK Jr. And making a variety of allegations and using
a variety of allegedly entertaining accents. Let's try it twenty two. Michael,
I want to tell you and vote for this cycle.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
It's Biden and I'll tell you why, because I think
the behavior matters, and I think the example we said
for our children matters. I've got three daughters, and I
don't want them growing up with a president president Trump.
People on oh's grabbing stuff and paint an orange and
ripping everybody down with no shame. Do I want to
vote for Bobby Kennedy Junior. It doesn't seem like he
(02:50):
shows much respect for anybody neither. He's lying to us,
that's for sure. Plus I raise horses, and you can
always tell when a horse is being pumped full of
testosa from steroids. Doesn't make the horse think any better.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Or run any faster.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Now, I'm voting forbidden because I believe in honor, integrity,
decency to shut up and just plain old patriotism.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, you shuck and shut up. But the fact that
he's calling RFK Junior a stupid Royd boy, that's a
Kennedy with a Southern accent. I'm having faking the accents,
oh okay, faking a variety of entertaining accents and keeping
the traditional live in America of you can only comment
on political issues in your car. Yeah, and he does
(03:35):
other accents with other accusations. But yeah, but I was
gonna bring that up. Not only does he do the
inevitable car video, but he's driving as he's doing these videos.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I see that a lot videos that catch on, and
you were clearly like distracted doing your daily errands.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
How about you pick a time when you got.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
A free five minutes to unleash your screed that you
think is going to make you go viral?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
Yes, Katie, Well you know, you know what's so funny
is that these videos that go viral, TikTok now has
a little thing that pops up along it with like
a warning that says, some of the actions in this
video are not deemed to be safe.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The person's driving while videoing.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I want to see, don't unleash screens about the war
in Israel while driving.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I don't actually care, but I wonder if it's like
a cultural thing. It gives it a different feel, like
you're talking to a friend as opposed to unleashing a screen.
It's like I like a lot of low fi rock
and you listen to it and say, why don't they
improve the fidelity? Well, because that's the idea, right.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
It's funny how things catch on It's like the late
night talk show. You don't have to have a desk
here and then on an area here and then the
band there.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But everybody does.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So I guess just everybody decided if I'm going to
have a political screed, I gotta be sitting in my
car with my phone facing me.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, so we shall see. There's absolutely no doubt though
that rfk's presence in the race is going to have
an a fact how strong, I do not know coming up?
How to tell if you're a woman, is a psychopath?
Stay with us? Is RFK getting more support or less?
At this point? I feel like he's going the other direction.
(05:13):
I don't know if i'd say that. I don't know.
I haven't seen polls recently and thought he even thought
about it. Well, nobody's certain whether he takes more for
Trump or Biden right right, well, and at veries state
to state, and since we elect presidents state by state,
you almost have to ask that question. In the Big
Five Swing stage, speaking of the Biden administration, I heard
(05:35):
a long interview with what's his face? Alejandro Mayyorki is
the Secretary of Homeland Security who's in charge of the border,
which is completely not secure in spite of his claims otherwise.
He is he day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on. Right,
But as to the border and its security, any opinion
there nos the border secure? I'm assuming it is. I work,
(06:01):
I got a tip my the lip border is secure.
It is what a second? Nothing? Oh yeah, he's he's
such a weasel. And the cost to your soul of
saying to the nation that which is clearly untrue. Everybody
(06:24):
knows it's untrue, and it's really important that people speak
the truth on these topics. What does that cost you
as a human being? Maybe nothing, Maybe these people are
just reptiles. But Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, who is
a half wit, declined to answer questions in front of Congress.
I should ask for this audio, guys, but I didn't.
(06:46):
He was asked whether he would force his daughter to
undress in the bathroom, in the locker room with boys
who are also undressing. You saw Congressman Burgess Owens was
asking this, I'm not going to be commenting on athletics
rules that we haven't proposed. Cardon answered, that's the way
you answer that question. I hate bureaucrats, even though everybody
(07:08):
knows the new perversion of Title nine proposed by the
Biden administration, in which it adds gender identity to sex.
So if I is a fully intact six foot four,
say college swimmer, say yeah, I'm a girl. Now you
gotta let that man into the locker rooms and bathrooms
(07:28):
and the sports with the girls, which is obscene, Well
in several different ways, both literally and morally. I'm not
sure if that's the best use of the word obscene. Well,
I just explain. But so everybody knows, it's clear, it's
out in the open. Everybody's talking about and this is
an important question. I'm not going to be commenting on
athletic rules that we haven't proposed. Owen's pressed Cardona, saying
(07:51):
yes or no, but the secretary declined to provide one,
saying I'd be happy to discuss Title nine. So Owen's
not done. See if your daughter was reported she felt
uncomfortable in a boy's presence in a bathroom or a
locker room, would that be considered by your administration to
be discriminatory or bigotry? Kardona again declined to provide a
yes or no answer, always pressed him. Girls have now
(08:14):
entered in contact sports of boxing and wrestling. Would you
allow your daughter to physically fight and get beat up
by a boy who called himself a girl? Yes or no?
Be happy too once we finalize our regulations on Title
nine athletics. I hate to come back and have a
conversation with you.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Unless he was just cleverly realizing I can avoid a
SoundBite that plays everywhere by giving these answers.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Exactly, that's your government working for you. Finally said the
new Title nine regulations increased protections to all students and
increased protections for women. Oh and said, this is why
American parents are really concerned about this administration. You cannot
answer a basic question that makes common sense. I'll say this,
I know how to protect my girls. There's more Republicans
(09:01):
rep Eddie Harris asked him, would you agree that women
are physically different from men? I see where you're going
with this. You responded, I would love to talk about
how we can work together to support the students. Wow,
you know Trump's an a hole, but you're not gonna
(09:21):
hear stuff like that out of his cabinet. No, No,
he will not. Before we got would you allow your
daughter to get beat up by a boy in a
contact sport. I'll be happy to comment on that once
the title nine has been signedst to comment on rules
that have not been finalized.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my friggin life.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Thanks, Lindsay, Amen to that, my brother. Yes, we got
to play that again. That gold Lindsey Graham clip before
we go to break. The New York Post has got
the Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's relationship is broken and
reconciliation more and more unlikely.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Where'd you get that New York Post? Really, I don't
know what. I didn't read it because i'd have to care.
I don't care, right, I mean, but I was kind
of surprised to see that. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
She's struggling with cancer. Really, I don't know. First it
would make you insane being in the royal family.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We got to do this this hour. I'm stealing this
from another host. I heard you this yesterday, but it
was so good.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Read to you. A chunk of Joe Biden's speech.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
He gave it that Holocaust memorial the other day and
then put that in the context of him with holding
the bombs from Israel.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's I don't I don't know what's going on in
his head. I don't know if I don't know what's
going neither does he. Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Same kind of guy that can just you know, I
used to be a truck driver when everybody knows that's
a lie at this point, I mean, you know that
sort of stuff. It's just I don't know what happening.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, no, no, No, he's fit, he's ready to serve
another four years.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Manis involve our institutions.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
More on the way Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Clame.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
My new Chevy Malibu nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Chevy Malibu has the right room, right headroom, legroom and truck.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Room, the right size, new family midsizes like Bill fought
herself a new Malibu, the right ingredients like an impressive
mileage rating and a beautiful body by Fisher. It's got
the right name, Chevrolet. No wonder, It's a family, faith,
good time, simpler times. Jack. I remember we had a
(11:52):
red Malibu station wagon when I was a kid. We're
so we're playing that because they're ending the Chevy Malibu
that's going. Yes, it is no longer a card until
it comes back that's correct, that's right. They can bring
these things back and they will soon. There're no laws.
Let's not that from happening. Loss.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So Joe Biden announced the other day, I'm not going
to give him those bombs Israel, those bombs that he
used to go in there and kill all those people.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What are you talking about, old man? God, get him
out of there.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
And this is how his close friend, or at least
used to be. Senator Lindsay Graham responded to that decision.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
What you're doing is you're saying Hamas has put Palestinians
into the crosshairs of Israel, so stand Israel down. That's
the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my friggin life,
is that you tell the person who's about to be
wiped off the map, you've got to slow down because
your enemy is making it hard on the Palestinian people
(12:52):
to survive because they choose to put them in arms away.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That is ass backwards.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know why Joe Biden doesn't do many sitting down interviews,
because he did one with CNN the other day. It
was sixteen minutes long, and according to The New York Post,
he told fifteen lies in sixteen minutes, good day sort
of thing that they used to act like Trump was
just an outlier. It's crazy how much he lies. Biden
told lie after lie after lie in that interview. But
(13:18):
still the worst part was that he had nothing negative
to say about Hamas in that interview. He had lots
of negative things to say about Israel, but nothing negative
to say about Hamas.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Why do I bring that up.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Let's revisit the speech he gave earlier this week, and I.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Don't know what's going on.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Then the head of a guy who can give this
speech and then do what he did later in the
day and talk about Israel the way he talked about them.
So it's Holocaust's remembrance day and he goes to some
memorial and he's given this speech in front of a
bunch of people, and he goes through the Holocaust and
(13:54):
what it was and all that sort of stuff, and
then he gets to this part that hatred was brought
to life. In October seventh and twenty twenty three, on
a sacred Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Pamas unleashed the
deadliest day of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Driven
by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people off
the face of the earth. Over twelve hundred innocent people, babies, parents, grandparents,
(14:18):
slaughtered in their cobits, massacred at a music festival, brutally raped, mutilated,
sexually assaulted. Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets and shrapnel from
the memory of that terrible day they endured. Hundreds taken
the hostage, including survivors of the Shoa which anyway, and
he's very emphatic in this speech if you haven't heard it,
(14:39):
and especially this part now here, we are not seventy
five years later, but just seven and a half months later,
and people are already forgetting. They're already forgetting that Hamas
unleashed this terror, that it was Hamas that brutalized Israelis,
that it was Hamas who took and continues to hold
the hostages. Well, I have not forgotten out of you,
and we will not forget. Applause, applause, applause. And then
(15:02):
later that day he does the interview saying I'm not
going to give them the bombs to go in there
and kill those civilians, and we need to negotiate, and
what's going on there incoherent policies others have forgotten.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I will not forget what or they're counting on. And
I'm trying to. I mean, he's such an awful president,
but I do this for a living, so I will try.
I think they're counting on the media bubble phenomenon. They're
counting on the restive, angered, young far left voter only
(15:43):
hearing the second part, and they're counting on moderate Jews
and those who support and love them only hearing Well,
they're not gonna hear just the first part, but here
the first part, and think that's where his heart really is. Well,
that does fit in.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I've had this theory all along that he just he's
stuck in what you could do as senator in nineteen
eighty five, and you can't do that anymore, right, You
can't go around and say different things to each group
or makeup lies because they catch you now, right, And
maybe he just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He just hasn't caught on to that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Everything you say goes everywhere all the time, and then
shows like ours or label news shows they will juxtapose
the different things in a way that never happened pre internet.
But he went on to say too many people denying downplaying, rationalizing,
ignoring the horrors of October seventh, including Hamas's appalling use
of sexual violence.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's absolutely despicable and it must stop.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And then you talk about how awful Israel has been
and you're not going to give him the weapons.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And you can't do the one thing you must do
to make it stop. No, don't do that. What the hell? Well,
that is ass backwards. Yeah, it's it's what you described.
And it's also a man who, for his entire career
has no convictions. He has no courage, and what convictions
he might allegedly have, there's no courage behind them. He
refuses to lead if there's the slightest chance that it'll
(17:00):
be politically inconvenient. He is perhaps the wind socckiest politician
of the modern era. Well, that's everyone knows that.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
That's what Mitch McConnell said yesterday, said, I've had to
stand up to people in my party before and pay
the price for it. You need to find the courage
to do it with the people in your party.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Bad I had a keff care they ain't gonna happen,
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I buy things for other people that I don't have
myself for some reason. But I bought somebody one of
those coffee mugs that has a heating element in the bottom.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Oh yeah, you can program it with your phone. I
need up my game. I'm a travel mug guy because
he keeps it hot. But I got to admit the
traditional mug is not.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I yeah, And so it's got the like the c
charger plug in like an iPhone or something, and you
charge it up and then you can set it with
your app what temperature you want it to be, and
it just stays at all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's awesome. What a great time to be alive. By
the way, a disclaimer we should have made more often today. Tennis, right, yep,
the Big two I call him Jack had a motorcycle
wreck and took a blow to the head. So if
he says anything career threatening today is please bear that
in mind.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
God, I got a text from somebody who said I
can still remember the sound of my helmet scraping along
the pavement.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, I don't remember that too well. And we were
discussing this during a commercial break. I vividly remember the
thoughts that flashed through my head on a couple of
different occasions when I was flying over the handlebars of
a bike. So what is that?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I need to ask some of my neuroscience friends. Why
can I have like a hundred coherent thoughts in the
split second of a motorcycle crash like that? My guess,
my educated guess, is that when you're in mortal danger,
you're able to hyper focus in a way that you
just can't for the rest of your life. I was thinking,
(18:50):
I hope there's not a pole that's going to stop me,
or I will die. I was thinking I got to
pick up Henry from school. This is going to make
me late. I mean, I was thinking all these different things.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Right, I mean, it's not like as a tiger is
attacking you. As a cave man, you're thinking did I
leave my other loin cloth in the cave? Or was
it drawing outside? No, you're just boomed hyper focused. Yeah, anyway,
So thank you for tuning in. Appreciate it very much.
How can you tell if your woman is a psychopath? Oh? Man,
(19:22):
that's a good thing to know. There's one here. Is
my woman a psychopath? You'd like to know if she
is or she is not? Hold on, I'm taking notes.
Can you just ask her? No? Oh no, that's the
worst thing you can do. By the way, don't show
your hand. Dinner was nice. You look gorgeous tonight. Are
you a psychopath? So, Katie, I'm gonna guess, Katie, how
(19:43):
to tell if your woman's psychopath. She stabs you to
death in your sleep. You can see you can see
it in her eyes. Uh huh, yeah, okay, let's see.
Let me make sure i'm doing this correction. It's your dog. Yeah, okay,
you know what this conversation I have been carefully analyzing, Katie.
She had no idea. Oh, she is under the microscope.
(20:06):
She is the lab rat in this scenario.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
You know how to tell, and you're going to go
through the criteria with her.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
New research reveals that ladies have one obvious tell to
separate the sometimes sour sweeties from the seriously psycho. I
love this and I know what it is. It's people
who put the milk in the bowl first. It is
not sir. You have guessed incorrectly, Katie. Congratulations, you're a
non psychopath. Oh, thank you very much. Your your husband
(20:37):
really be thrilled or disappointed. I don't know his kinks.
I want to argue with you, but we'll go and
I could go into lots and lots of detail from
the study authors from the University of New Mexico nonverbal behaviors,
and we'll get to the key one represent an important,
yet understudied form of communication that may enhance our ability
to detect certain forms of psychopathology, including psychopaths.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
This actually makes sense because evolutionary speaking, it would make
sense that people that can identify super crazy others, uh,
survive better than people who can't.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yes. Yeah, So, using an automated detection algorithm like frame
by frame by frame analysis, the research team determined that
women who hold their heads perfectly still or with minimal
movement while in conversation possess high levels of psychopathic propensities. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I read this yesterday and I got to admit I
went through my mind of a couple of women I've known,
and I thought, I don't remember, but if I ever
talked to them again, I'm going to look for that.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well. And yes, I am completely aware that Katie and
every woman listening right now is now going to be
hyper paranoid about whether they're moving their head in conversation.
So if you.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Also just gave me a new complex I'm going to
be looking for that in every female.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I talk to you.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
So you're gonna have your head bobbing around like you're
on the dashboard of a car.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh sure, metal neck, just just swinging it the whole time. Right,
you're one of the big Southern ladies making a poet,
you know, whacking your finger and shaking your head and
the rest of it.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
But so the psychopath person holds their head perfectly still.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Or with very little movement compared to non psychopaths. Is
this only true for women or is that women and men?
It's much much more prevalent and predictive in women. Interesting, yeah, who,
they don't know why, although you know as long as
we're talking about this that there's a probe. There's a probe.
(22:34):
How do I explain this briefly? The hair psychopathy checklist
exam that was developed in the seventies and it's been refined.
But the twenty item checklist measuredticipant participants antisocial tendencies from
one to forty. The lower the score the better, blah
blah blah. And they don't know why exactly, but they
(22:54):
do the test on women and then they just look
at the video of when they were talking to them
about it. And man, if they've got the old statue head,
well call me Katie Bobblehead Green. From here on out,
I'm just gonna be all over the place. There is
there a book out or did I just read the interview?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
There was something in the New York Times a couple
of weeks ago from a woman who is a psychopath
and uh oh yeah, talking about what it's like to
be a psychopath.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, really interesting. Did you read that, Katie? Yeah? I did, okay.
But there was also this video that just.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Went around like last week of this guy he killed
his neighbor and he was sitting there in the interrogation
room and they had the film on him and for
two hours he barely moved and his hands did not
move from the certain position on the desk, and they
said that was a big sign.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You know.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I don't know if I've known psychopaths, but I have
known some weird oh's, and they were uncommonly.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Still, yeah, interesting, huh. Speaking of mental health questions, and
I don't know if you've noticed this, it's it's just
funny how language evolved that that sort of thing. But
people are using mental health to mean mental health problem. Yeah,
she experienced about of mental health in her twenties. And
(24:06):
it's just funny. People don't think when they talk anyway.
But I thought this was so interesting. Ellen Barry wrote
this column about some researchers in Great Britain and she opens,
and I think it's worth reading a bit of the opening.
For years now, policymakers have sought an explanation for the
mental health crisis among young people. Suicide attempts, psychiatric hospitalizations
(24:27):
were rising before the pandemic, then the rates of anxiety
and depression double worldwide. She quotes the great Jonathan Height,
who points to smartphones and the algorithms that draw kids
away from healthy play and interaction and into dangerous, addictive
thought loops. Not to mention porn and social media. Well,
he kind of refers to that. No, his critics say,
(24:49):
brace yourselves. The real problem is a grim social landscape
of school shootings, poverty, and global warming, warming or academic
pressure or insufficient healthcare.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Lumping in global warming. That's what I think of when
I send my kid off to school. Got I hope
he survived global warming today?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah? Well, and it's absolutely undeniable that to the extent
the kids are hyper anxious about global warming, it's because
you people have drummed it into their heads all day, right, kids,
sell your park up, buy some shorts, you'll be fine.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Neither one of my kids are worried about it, even
though they have been hit with that all the time.
And I remember them asking me when they were younger,
because they got sent home from school with a head
full of that, and he said, do you worry about
global warming? And I said, I think about it exactly never.
I never ever think about it. I'm not worried about
it even the tiniest bit wrong. That kind of just
overrode everything they're being taught in school.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
All Right, we've stolen our dreams with our empty talk.
Uh yeah, I'll just adjust my sales. That's my thought
as an individual, or the world will figure it out
or it won't. But any nothing I'm gonna do right anyway,
to the main point of this, a group of researchers
in Britain, specifically Oxford at least this gale is from Oxford. Yeah,
(26:02):
one of the psychologists have proposed another at least partial explanation.
And as we've said, many times in the history of
the show. There are very few things that are one thing.
There are contributory causes. I think the phone, social media algorithm,
the algorithm thing is enormous. This could be contributory. The
(26:23):
theory is we talk about mental disorders so much that
kids are constantly examining themselves and diagnosing themselves, no doubt
about that.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
That that in modern society, there's so much discussion about this.
Everybody feels like because everybody the human condition is happy, sad, anxious, whatever,
a lot, and so we all start thinking we got
to fit into one of these diagnoses.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
If you're just behaving like a human being should behave
you start to pathologize it, right, you have a good anthology,
that is what's happening. I read a dictionary every day.
You've discussed in the past when you had a terrible
chapter in your life being sad and a psychiatrist, psychologist said.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
He's get on these drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
have been. I have done like depressants or something like that,
which I didn't need at all, but I had. After
I got divorced, I was like really down, and I
had a guy, a smart guy, say don't pathologize, don't
pathologize grief, Right, you're supposed to feel this way.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You're not depressed, you're sad.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Yeah, and you're completely supposed to feel this way for
a long time. That would be the if you didn't
feel this way, that'd be the abnormal thing.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So again this I guess I didn't get to this yet.
This hypothesis is called prevalence inflation. It holds that our
society has become so saturated with discussions of mental health
that young people may interpret mild transient suffering as symptoms
of a mental disorder.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yeah, that is a tough one. Everybody's struggling with that.
If you got kind of a hyped up kid, is
it just a regular ten year old boy or do
they need some sort of medicine.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
And it turns into hypochondria. The problem, they say, is
because identifying with a psychiatric diagnosis may not be helpful.
Students who self label is anxious or depressed are more
likely than similar students who don't self label to view
themselves as powerless over their disorder. Recent studies have shown
they may respond by avoiding stressful situations like parties, public speaking,
(28:24):
which could make their problems worth. Of course.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I don't think I've ever told this story on the air.
It's kind of embarrassing. Should I tell it or not? Michael,
of course you should tell it. By the way, I
know you're listening intently, Katie, but your head hasn't moved
in like three minutes. Oh, I'm watching them. That's why
I used to go to Borders Books in my college town.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Loved that place.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
I know it's too bad they went away to close down,
and it was open till eleven. It was awesome. I
would sit in This is back when I drink. I
haven't had a drink in seventeen and a half years,
but this is back when I drink. I used to
sit in the self help section drunk, pulling down books,
trying to figure out what was wrong with me, not
(29:06):
occurring to me that maybe it's the thirty beers you drink.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Wow, isn't that interesting? It's dark?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Why is that dark? Alcoholism is blight? But yeah, I
was just like, there's something wrong with me? Why am
I so this?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Or that? It's because you drink how much? You idiot?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Of course, that's what alcoholism is, to a certain extent,
is trying to convince you that's not the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh, how interesting. Yeah, huh, it's the old double reverse
with a double shot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Do you think maybe you're depressed because you take in
you know, ten to thirty depressants a day.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Maybe that's the reason. Nah, idiot, be it, I can't
be it. Put me on well bututrin eh wow. Anyway,
we can post this at armstrong snety dot com under
hot links if you'd like to know more. There's a
fair amount more actist.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
So a younger version of that would be my kid
is so, you know, amped up all the time.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
They need a ADHD, drugs or whatever.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Well, one their ten year old boy, and two you
give them Starbucks milkshakes twice a day.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, just learn to channel add energy. One thing I
learned coaching boys, and I'd write a book, but I'm
very busy and a little lazy is that I'm very
busy and a little lazy. You're very lazy and a
little busy. Let's not focus on that. But I learned
(30:25):
this coaching boys through the years. I learned to recognize
the great qualities that some of them would possess as
men that would make them very good or potentially even
great men. And how obnoxious those qualities are when you're
eleven years old. Yeah, because they've got to be refined.
(30:47):
It's a diamond that needs to be carved, just a
little bit, not overly carved. That would be great books.
Too bad, you're too busy slash lazy. But that's that's
what being a little boy is. You have all this
boundless energy and confident assertiveness and and sometimes aggressiveness that
needs to be channeled and and and refined and then
(31:09):
not not crushed.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
And then take that kid, he's got that already and
give them, you know, a couple of primes a day
or the Starbucks milkshaker right energy drinks or whatever that
everybody drinks.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, that didn't help. Eh, Well, somebody transcribed that and
put it under a cover, which and I'll I'll call
you my co writer, Have Ai give Ai?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
The prompt was more or less that information might have
it on Amazon by this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Right, may make up a couple of fanciful incidents like
I met with Kim Jong woon or something like that.
Who cares, right exactly?
Speaker 8 (31:43):
You could come back the dumbest thing I've ever heard
in my friggin life, I.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Declare, uh, and he comment on me that because I
was interesting. Text line four one five KFTC.
Speaker 10 (31:54):
Armstrong and the one that is going on now currently
in New York is really about election interference. It is
about trying to prevent the people of our country from
having relevant information that may have influenced how they could
(32:15):
have voted. In twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Whoa wha, wha, wha wha, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa was that?
Hillary Clinton, the woman whose campaign hired Christopher Steel and
commissioned the Steele dossier, then labeled those expenditures as legal fees,
saying Donald Trump was guilty of crimes for doing the
precise same thing. Well, that takes the hubris of a well.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Hillary Clinton, right, and all this federal election stuff, lots
of people get hit with that and pay fine. Obama
paid like a huge fine for some federal election violation.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Rampant systemic campaign fraud.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Partially because there's a gazillion laws in their complicated and
all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
But it's not uncommon.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
It's the sex has so much to do with it,
and the ridiculous insinuation that that is what the case
is about.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, if this were a dry campaign finance case,
leaving aside that the ridiculous notion that trying to cover
up an affair or keep it quiet is election fraud.
I mean that's I could explain to a fairly small
child why that's a stupid charge, and they'll never get
(33:34):
a conviction. Putting that aside, Yeah, nobody would be paying
much attention at all. Well, there wouldn't be a criminal
trial over a campaign finance violation. Are you kidding me?
You get a hire a fine for going eighty miles
per hour in the seventy mile per hour zone.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Funny, it just popped back into my head. I heard
somebody referring yesterday to the lawyers. Questioned your aunt questioned
Stormy on a passage from her memoir, And I thought.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
She wrote a memoir. Did anybody buy that and read it?
Who are you? I think the memoir included the whole
paranormal investigator subplot, right, Yeah, but she wrote a memoir.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Well, she was she had come her way in middle age,
passed her hottest period of her life, a way to
make a little money as a broke person, and she
was trying everything she could, including the conversation that came
out in the trial yesterday that she really had to
get that one hundred thirty thousand dollars before the election
because Trump was going to lose, like everybody thought, including me,
(34:35):
then she'd have no leverage. Well, that's extortion, right, there,
isn't it. If you're stating out loud, you've got leverage
right now, right for an act that's already occurred. That's
not a non disclosure agreement, which has to be in advance.
That's extortion, a fact conveniently overlooked by all of the
frothing mouthed media coverage of all of this. The particular said,
(35:00):
I don't think matter that much historically speaking, but the
idea of prosecuting a candidate an incredibly thin and convoluted
charges to keep them off the campaign trail. Man, if
we as a nation, as Americans, if we let this
go forward, that's going to be awful.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Michael Cohen on the stand on Monday.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I assume that's going to go several days to the
cross examination, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Man, that is going
to be must read about courtroom drama

Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Geddy Show.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Independent presidential candid Robert F. Kennedy Junior posted on X
yesterday and said quote, I offer to eat five more
brainworms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in
a debate.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
And this can't be good.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
His supporters have already made it a TikTok challenge.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I go hike, and I hiked up hill a mile
and a half up and a mile and a half
down with my dogs, and I do my meditations, and
then I go to the gym, and I go to
the gym for thirty five.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Minutes explaining how fit and fine he is in spite
of the whole brainworm thing. That's pretty good line.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
The I could eat five more worms and still beat
both of those guys in debate.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's a decent line. Yeah, it is really. I heard
an unnecessarily long report on a certain out media outlet
that is well communist and supported by your tax dollars,
with an unnecessarily long feature on parasitic worms. Oh boy,
but he's cured. He's fine, He's great and.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well did it actually happen because he was in a
case where he was trying to argue that he couldn't work.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So yeah, that part may be phonny, but yeah, I
understand it did happen. He was treated for that. He
caught him traveling overseas, And they can go from your
gut up into your brain in some circumstances, and sometimes
it's one hundred percent harmless. Sometimes it can cause seizures
and all sorts of problems. Just depends where in your
brain they decide to start gnawing, which is a horrifying thought.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Trump is going to use a line about a worm
eat in your brain if they ever debate.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, think Floyd fans. Yeah, I know I'm way ahead
of So this is interesting. It's not really impactful or important,
but it's interesting. JFK Jrs. I'm sorry. RFK Junior's cousin,
Jack Closhberg is doing a bunch of Instagram videos mocking
(02:17):
RFK Jr. And making a variety of allegations and using
a variety of allegedly entertaining accents. Let's try it twenty two. Michael,
I want to tell you and vote for this cycle.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
It's Biden and I'll tell you why, because I think
the behavior matters, and I think the example we said
for our children matters. I've got three daughters, and I
don't want them growing up with a president president Trump.
People on oh's grabbing stuff and paint an orange and
ripping everybody down with no shame. Do I want to
vote for Bobby Kennedy Junior. It doesn't seem like he
(02:50):
shows much respect for anybody neither. He's lying to us,
that's for sure. Plus I raise horses, and you can
always tell when a horse is being pumped full of
testosa from steroids. Doesn't make the horse think any better.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Or run any faster.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Now, I'm voting forbidden because I believe in honor, integrity,
decency to shut up and just plain old patriotism.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, you shuck and shut up. But the fact that
he's calling RFK Junior a stupid Royd boy, that's a
Kennedy with a Southern accent. I'm having faking the accents,
oh okay, faking a variety of entertaining accents and keeping
the traditional live in America of you can only comment
on political issues in your car. Yeah, and he does
(03:35):
other accents with other accusations. But yeah, but I was
gonna bring that up. Not only does he do the
inevitable car video, but he's driving as he's doing these videos.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I see that a lot videos that catch on, and
you were clearly like distracted doing your daily errands.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
How about you pick a time when you got.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
A free five minutes to unleash your screed that you
think is going to make you go viral?
Speaker 7 (03:59):
Yes, Katie, Well you know, you know what's so funny
is that these videos that go viral, TikTok now has
a little thing that pops up along it with like
a warning that says, some of the actions in this
video are not deemed to be safe.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The person's driving while videoing.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I want to see, don't unleash screens about the war
in Israel while driving.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I don't actually care, but I wonder if it's like
a cultural thing. It gives it a different feel, like
you're talking to a friend as opposed to unleashing a screen.
It's like I like a lot of low fi rock
and you listen to it and say, why don't they
improve the fidelity? Well, because that's the idea, right.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
It's funny how things catch on It's like the late
night talk show. You don't have to have a desk
here and then on an area here and then the
band there.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But everybody does.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So I guess just everybody decided if I'm going to
have a political screed, I gotta be sitting in my
car with my phone facing me.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, so we shall see. There's absolutely no doubt though
that rfk's presence in the race is going to have
an a fact how strong, I do not know coming up?
How to tell if you're a woman, is a psychopath?
Stay with us? Is RFK getting more support or less?
At this point? I feel like he's going the other direction.
(05:13):
I don't know if i'd say that. I don't know.
I haven't seen polls recently and thought he even thought
about it. Well, nobody's certain whether he takes more for
Trump or Biden right right, well, and at veries state
to state, and since we elect presidents state by state,
you almost have to ask that question. In the Big
Five Swing stage, speaking of the Biden administration, I heard
(05:35):
a long interview with what's his face? Alejandro Mayyorki is
the Secretary of Homeland Security who's in charge of the border,
which is completely not secure in spite of his claims otherwise.
He is he day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on. Right,
But as to the border and its security, any opinion
there nos the border secure? I'm assuming it is. I work,
(06:01):
I got a tip my the lip border is secure.
It is what a second? Nothing? Oh yeah, he's he's
such a weasel. And the cost to your soul of
saying to the nation that which is clearly untrue. Everybody
(06:24):
knows it's untrue, and it's really important that people speak
the truth on these topics. What does that cost you
as a human being? Maybe nothing, Maybe these people are
just reptiles. But Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, who is
a half wit, declined to answer questions in front of Congress.
I should ask for this audio, guys, but I didn't.
(06:46):
He was asked whether he would force his daughter to
undress in the bathroom, in the locker room with boys
who are also undressing. You saw Congressman Burgess Owens was
asking this, I'm not going to be commenting on athletics
rules that we haven't proposed. Cardon answered, that's the way
you answer that question. I hate bureaucrats, even though everybody
(07:08):
knows the new perversion of Title nine proposed by the
Biden administration, in which it adds gender identity to sex.
So if I is a fully intact six foot four,
say college swimmer, say yeah, I'm a girl. Now you
gotta let that man into the locker rooms and bathrooms
(07:28):
and the sports with the girls, which is obscene, Well
in several different ways, both literally and morally. I'm not
sure if that's the best use of the word obscene. Well,
I just explain. But so everybody knows, it's clear, it's
out in the open. Everybody's talking about and this is
an important question. I'm not going to be commenting on
athletic rules that we haven't proposed. Owen's pressed Cardona, saying
(07:51):
yes or no, but the secretary declined to provide one,
saying I'd be happy to discuss Title nine. So Owen's
not done. See if your daughter was reported she felt
uncomfortable in a boy's presence in a bathroom or a
locker room, would that be considered by your administration to
be discriminatory or bigotry? Kardona again declined to provide a
yes or no answer, always pressed him. Girls have now
(08:14):
entered in contact sports of boxing and wrestling. Would you
allow your daughter to physically fight and get beat up
by a boy who called himself a girl? Yes or no?
Be happy too once we finalize our regulations on Title
nine athletics. I hate to come back and have a
conversation with you.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Unless he was just cleverly realizing I can avoid a
SoundBite that plays everywhere by giving these answers.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Exactly, that's your government working for you. Finally said the
new Title nine regulations increased protections to all students and
increased protections for women. Oh and said, this is why
American parents are really concerned about this administration. You cannot
answer a basic question that makes common sense. I'll say this,
I know how to protect my girls. There's more Republicans
(09:01):
rep Eddie Harris asked him, would you agree that women
are physically different from men? I see where you're going
with this. You responded, I would love to talk about
how we can work together to support the students. Wow,
you know Trump's an a hole, but you're not gonna
(09:21):
hear stuff like that out of his cabinet. No, No,
he will not. Before we got would you allow your
daughter to get beat up by a boy in a
contact sport. I'll be happy to comment on that once
the title nine has been signedst to comment on rules
that have not been finalized.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my friggin life.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Thanks, Lindsay, Amen to that, my brother. Yes, we got
to play that again. That gold Lindsey Graham clip before
we go to break. The New York Post has got
the Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's relationship is broken and
reconciliation more and more unlikely.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Where'd you get that New York Post? Really, I don't
know what. I didn't read it because i'd have to care.
I don't care, right, I mean, but I was kind
of surprised to see that. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
She's struggling with cancer. Really, I don't know. First it
would make you insane being in the royal family.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We got to do this this hour. I'm stealing this
from another host. I heard you this yesterday, but it
was so good.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Read to you. A chunk of Joe Biden's speech.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
He gave it that Holocaust memorial the other day and
then put that in the context of him with holding
the bombs from Israel.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's I don't I don't know what's going on in
his head. I don't know if I don't know what's
going neither does he. Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Same kind of guy that can just you know, I
used to be a truck driver when everybody knows that's
a lie at this point, I mean, you know that
sort of stuff. It's just I don't know what happening.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, no, no, No, he's fit, he's ready to serve
another four years.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Manis involve our institutions.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
More on the way Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Clame.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
My new Chevy Malibu nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Chevy Malibu has the right room, right headroom, legroom and truck.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Room, the right size, new family midsizes like Bill fought
herself a new Malibu, the right ingredients like an impressive
mileage rating and a beautiful body by Fisher. It's got
the right name, Chevrolet. No wonder, It's a family, faith,
good time, simpler times. Jack. I remember we had a
(11:52):
red Malibu station wagon when I was a kid. We're
so we're playing that because they're ending the Chevy Malibu
that's going. Yes, it is no longer a card until
it comes back that's correct, that's right. They can bring
these things back and they will soon. There're no laws.
Let's not that from happening. Loss.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So Joe Biden announced the other day, I'm not going
to give him those bombs Israel, those bombs that he
used to go in there and kill all those people.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What are you talking about, old man? God, get him
out of there.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
And this is how his close friend, or at least
used to be. Senator Lindsay Graham responded to that decision.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
What you're doing is you're saying Hamas has put Palestinians
into the crosshairs of Israel, so stand Israel down. That's
the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my friggin life,
is that you tell the person who's about to be
wiped off the map, you've got to slow down because
your enemy is making it hard on the Palestinian people
(12:52):
to survive because they choose to put them in arms away.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That is ass backwards.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know why Joe Biden doesn't do many sitting down interviews,
because he did one with CNN the other day. It
was sixteen minutes long, and according to The New York Post,
he told fifteen lies in sixteen minutes, good day sort
of thing that they used to act like Trump was
just an outlier. It's crazy how much he lies. Biden
told lie after lie after lie in that interview. But
(13:18):
still the worst part was that he had nothing negative
to say about Hamas in that interview. He had lots
of negative things to say about Israel, but nothing negative
to say about Hamas.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Why do I bring that up.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Let's revisit the speech he gave earlier this week, and I.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Don't know what's going on.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Then the head of a guy who can give this
speech and then do what he did later in the
day and talk about Israel the way he talked about them.
So it's Holocaust's remembrance day and he goes to some
memorial and he's given this speech in front of a
bunch of people, and he goes through the Holocaust and
(13:54):
what it was and all that sort of stuff, and
then he gets to this part that hatred was brought
to life. In October seventh and twenty twenty three, on
a sacred Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Pamas unleashed the
deadliest day of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Driven
by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people off
the face of the earth. Over twelve hundred innocent people, babies, parents, grandparents,
(14:18):
slaughtered in their cobits, massacred at a music festival, brutally raped, mutilated,
sexually assaulted. Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets and shrapnel from
the memory of that terrible day they endured. Hundreds taken
the hostage, including survivors of the Shoa which anyway, and
he's very emphatic in this speech if you haven't heard it,
(14:39):
and especially this part now here, we are not seventy
five years later, but just seven and a half months later,
and people are already forgetting. They're already forgetting that Hamas
unleashed this terror, that it was Hamas that brutalized Israelis,
that it was Hamas who took and continues to hold
the hostages. Well, I have not forgotten out of you,
and we will not forget. Applause, applause, applause. And then
(15:02):
later that day he does the interview saying I'm not
going to give them the bombs to go in there
and kill those civilians, and we need to negotiate, and
what's going on there incoherent policies others have forgotten.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I will not forget what or they're counting on. And
I'm trying to. I mean, he's such an awful president,
but I do this for a living, so I will try.
I think they're counting on the media bubble phenomenon. They're
counting on the restive, angered, young far left voter only
(15:43):
hearing the second part, and they're counting on moderate Jews
and those who support and love them only hearing Well,
they're not gonna hear just the first part, but here
the first part, and think that's where his heart really is. Well,
that does fit in.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I've had this theory all along that he just he's
stuck in what you could do as senator in nineteen
eighty five, and you can't do that anymore, right, You
can't go around and say different things to each group
or makeup lies because they catch you now, right, And
maybe he just doesn't.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He just hasn't caught on to that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Everything you say goes everywhere all the time, and then
shows like ours or label news shows they will juxtapose
the different things in a way that never happened pre internet.
But he went on to say too many people denying downplaying, rationalizing,
ignoring the horrors of October seventh, including Hamas's appalling use
of sexual violence.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's absolutely despicable and it must stop.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And then you talk about how awful Israel has been
and you're not going to give him the weapons.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And you can't do the one thing you must do
to make it stop. No, don't do that. What the hell? Well,
that is ass backwards. Yeah, it's it's what you described.
And it's also a man who, for his entire career
has no convictions. He has no courage, and what convictions
he might allegedly have, there's no courage behind them. He
refuses to lead if there's the slightest chance that it'll
(17:00):
be politically inconvenient. He is perhaps the wind socckiest politician
of the modern era. Well, that's everyone knows that.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
That's what Mitch McConnell said yesterday, said, I've had to
stand up to people in my party before and pay
the price for it. You need to find the courage
to do it with the people in your party.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Bad I had a keff care they ain't gonna happen,
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I buy things for other people that I don't have
myself for some reason. But I bought somebody one of
those coffee mugs that has a heating element in the bottom.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Oh yeah, you can program it with your phone. I
need up my game. I'm a travel mug guy because
he keeps it hot. But I got to admit the
traditional mug is not.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I yeah, And so it's got the like the c
charger plug in like an iPhone or something, and you
charge it up and then you can set it with
your app what temperature you want it to be, and
it just stays at all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's awesome. What a great time to be alive. By
the way, a disclaimer we should have made more often today. Tennis, right, yep,
the Big two I call him Jack had a motorcycle
wreck and took a blow to the head. So if
he says anything career threatening today is please bear that
in mind.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
God, I got a text from somebody who said I
can still remember the sound of my helmet scraping along
the pavement.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, I don't remember that too well. And we were
discussing this during a commercial break. I vividly remember the
thoughts that flashed through my head on a couple of
different occasions when I was flying over the handlebars of
a bike. So what is that?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I need to ask some of my neuroscience friends. Why
can I have like a hundred coherent thoughts in the
split second of a motorcycle crash like that? My guess,
my educated guess, is that when you're in mortal danger,
you're able to hyper focus in a way that you
just can't for the rest of your life. I was thinking,
(18:50):
I hope there's not a pole that's going to stop me,
or I will die. I was thinking I got to
pick up Henry from school. This is going to make
me late. I mean, I was thinking all these different things.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Right, I mean, it's not like as a tiger is
attacking you. As a cave man, you're thinking did I
leave my other loin cloth in the cave? Or was
it drawing outside? No, you're just boomed hyper focused. Yeah, anyway,
So thank you for tuning in. Appreciate it very much.
How can you tell if your woman is a psychopath? Oh? Man,
(19:22):
that's a good thing to know. There's one here. Is
my woman a psychopath? You'd like to know if she
is or she is not? Hold on, I'm taking notes.
Can you just ask her? No? Oh no, that's the
worst thing you can do. By the way, don't show
your hand. Dinner was nice. You look gorgeous tonight. Are
you a psychopath? So, Katie, I'm gonna guess, Katie, how
(19:43):
to tell if your woman's psychopath. She stabs you to
death in your sleep. You can see you can see
it in her eyes. Uh huh, yeah, okay, let's see.
Let me make sure i'm doing this correction. It's your dog. Yeah, okay,
you know what this conversation I have been carefully analyzing, Katie.
She had no idea. Oh, she is under the microscope.
(20:06):
She is the lab rat in this scenario.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
You know how to tell, and you're going to go
through the criteria with her.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
New research reveals that ladies have one obvious tell to
separate the sometimes sour sweeties from the seriously psycho. I
love this and I know what it is. It's people
who put the milk in the bowl first. It is
not sir. You have guessed incorrectly, Katie. Congratulations, you're a
non psychopath. Oh, thank you very much. Your your husband
(20:37):
really be thrilled or disappointed. I don't know his kinks.
I want to argue with you, but we'll go and
I could go into lots and lots of detail from
the study authors from the University of New Mexico nonverbal behaviors,
and we'll get to the key one represent an important,
yet understudied form of communication that may enhance our ability
to detect certain forms of psychopathology, including psychopaths.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
This actually makes sense because evolutionary speaking, it would make
sense that people that can identify super crazy others, uh,
survive better than people who can't.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yes. Yeah, So, using an automated detection algorithm like frame
by frame by frame analysis, the research team determined that
women who hold their heads perfectly still or with minimal
movement while in conversation possess high levels of psychopathic propensities. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I read this yesterday and I got to admit I
went through my mind of a couple of women I've known,
and I thought, I don't remember, but if I ever
talked to them again, I'm going to look for that.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Well. And yes, I am completely aware that Katie and
every woman listening right now is now going to be
hyper paranoid about whether they're moving their head in conversation.
So if you.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Also just gave me a new complex I'm going to
be looking for that in every female.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I talk to you.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
So you're gonna have your head bobbing around like you're
on the dashboard of a car.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh sure, metal neck, just just swinging it the whole time. Right,
you're one of the big Southern ladies making a poet,
you know, whacking your finger and shaking your head and
the rest of it.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
But so the psychopath person holds their head perfectly still.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Or with very little movement compared to non psychopaths. Is
this only true for women or is that women and men?
It's much much more prevalent and predictive in women. Interesting, yeah, who,
they don't know why, although you know as long as
we're talking about this that there's a probe. There's a probe.
(22:34):
How do I explain this briefly? The hair psychopathy checklist
exam that was developed in the seventies and it's been refined.
But the twenty item checklist measuredticipant participants antisocial tendencies from
one to forty. The lower the score the better, blah
blah blah. And they don't know why exactly, but they
(22:54):
do the test on women and then they just look
at the video of when they were talking to them
about it. And man, if they've got the old statue head,
well call me Katie Bobblehead Green. From here on out,
I'm just gonna be all over the place. There is
there a book out or did I just read the interview?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
There was something in the New York Times a couple
of weeks ago from a woman who is a psychopath
and uh oh yeah, talking about what it's like to
be a psychopath.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, really interesting. Did you read that, Katie? Yeah? I did, okay.
But there was also this video that just.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Went around like last week of this guy he killed
his neighbor and he was sitting there in the interrogation
room and they had the film on him and for
two hours he barely moved and his hands did not
move from the certain position on the desk, and they
said that was a big sign.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You know.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I don't know if I've known psychopaths, but I have
known some weird oh's, and they were uncommonly.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Still, yeah, interesting, huh. Speaking of mental health questions, and
I don't know if you've noticed this, it's it's just
funny how language evolved that that sort of thing. But
people are using mental health to mean mental health problem. Yeah,
she experienced about of mental health in her twenties. And
(24:06):
it's just funny. People don't think when they talk anyway.
But I thought this was so interesting. Ellen Barry wrote
this column about some researchers in Great Britain and she opens,
and I think it's worth reading a bit of the opening.
For years now, policymakers have sought an explanation for the
mental health crisis among young people. Suicide attempts, psychiatric hospitalizations
(24:27):
were rising before the pandemic, then the rates of anxiety
and depression double worldwide. She quotes the great Jonathan Height,
who points to smartphones and the algorithms that draw kids
away from healthy play and interaction and into dangerous, addictive
thought loops. Not to mention porn and social media. Well,
he kind of refers to that. No, his critics say,
(24:49):
brace yourselves. The real problem is a grim social landscape
of school shootings, poverty, and global warming, warming or academic
pressure or insufficient healthcare.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Lumping in global warming. That's what I think of when
I send my kid off to school. Got I hope
he survived global warming today?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah? Well, and it's absolutely undeniable that to the extent
the kids are hyper anxious about global warming, it's because
you people have drummed it into their heads all day, right, kids,
sell your park up, buy some shorts, you'll be fine.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Neither one of my kids are worried about it, even
though they have been hit with that all the time.
And I remember them asking me when they were younger,
because they got sent home from school with a head
full of that, and he said, do you worry about
global warming? And I said, I think about it exactly never.
I never ever think about it. I'm not worried about
it even the tiniest bit wrong. That kind of just
overrode everything they're being taught in school.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
All Right, we've stolen our dreams with our empty talk.
Uh yeah, I'll just adjust my sales. That's my thought
as an individual, or the world will figure it out
or it won't. But any nothing I'm gonna do right anyway,
to the main point of this, a group of researchers
in Britain, specifically Oxford at least this gale is from Oxford. Yeah,
(26:02):
one of the psychologists have proposed another at least partial explanation.
And as we've said, many times in the history of
the show. There are very few things that are one thing.
There are contributory causes. I think the phone, social media algorithm,
the algorithm thing is enormous. This could be contributory. The
(26:23):
theory is we talk about mental disorders so much that
kids are constantly examining themselves and diagnosing themselves, no doubt
about that.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
That that in modern society, there's so much discussion about this.
Everybody feels like because everybody the human condition is happy, sad, anxious, whatever,
a lot, and so we all start thinking we got
to fit into one of these diagnoses.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
If you're just behaving like a human being should behave
you start to pathologize it, right, you have a good anthology,
that is what's happening. I read a dictionary every day.
You've discussed in the past when you had a terrible
chapter in your life being sad and a psychiatrist, psychologist said.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
He's get on these drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
have been. I have done like depressants or something like that,
which I didn't need at all, but I had. After
I got divorced, I was like really down, and I
had a guy, a smart guy, say don't pathologize, don't
pathologize grief, Right, you're supposed to feel this way.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You're not depressed, you're sad.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Yeah, and you're completely supposed to feel this way for
a long time. That would be the if you didn't
feel this way, that'd be the abnormal thing.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So again this I guess I didn't get to this yet.
This hypothesis is called prevalence inflation. It holds that our
society has become so saturated with discussions of mental health
that young people may interpret mild transient suffering as symptoms
of a mental disorder.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yeah, that is a tough one. Everybody's struggling with that.
If you got kind of a hyped up kid, is
it just a regular ten year old boy or do
they need some sort of medicine.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
And it turns into hypochondria. The problem, they say, is
because identifying with a psychiatric diagnosis may not be helpful.
Students who self label is anxious or depressed are more
likely than similar students who don't self label to view
themselves as powerless over their disorder. Recent studies have shown
they may respond by avoiding stressful situations like parties, public speaking,
(28:24):
which could make their problems worth. Of course.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I don't think I've ever told this story on the air.
It's kind of embarrassing. Should I tell it or not? Michael,
of course you should tell it. By the way, I
know you're listening intently, Katie, but your head hasn't moved
in like three minutes. Oh, I'm watching them. That's why
I used to go to Borders Books in my college town.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Loved that place.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
I know it's too bad they went away to close down,
and it was open till eleven. It was awesome. I
would sit in This is back when I drink. I
haven't had a drink in seventeen and a half years,
but this is back when I drink. I used to
sit in the self help section drunk, pulling down books,
trying to figure out what was wrong with me, not
(29:06):
occurring to me that maybe it's the thirty beers you drink.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Wow, isn't that interesting? It's dark?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Why is that dark? Alcoholism is blight? But yeah, I
was just like, there's something wrong with me? Why am
I so this?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Or that? It's because you drink how much? You idiot?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Of course, that's what alcoholism is, to a certain extent,
is trying to convince you that's not the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Oh, how interesting. Yeah, huh, it's the old double reverse
with a double shot. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Do you think maybe you're depressed because you take in
you know, ten to thirty depressants a day.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Maybe that's the reason. Nah, idiot, be it, I can't
be it. Put me on well bututrin eh wow. Anyway,
we can post this at armstrong snety dot com under
hot links if you'd like to know more. There's a
fair amount more actist.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
So a younger version of that would be my kid
is so, you know, amped up all the time.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
They need a ADHD, drugs or whatever.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Well, one their ten year old boy, and two you
give them Starbucks milkshakes twice a day.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, just learn to channel add energy. One thing I
learned coaching boys, and I'd write a book, but I'm
very busy and a little lazy is that I'm very
busy and a little lazy. You're very lazy and a
little busy. Let's not focus on that. But I learned
(30:25):
this coaching boys through the years. I learned to recognize
the great qualities that some of them would possess as
men that would make them very good or potentially even
great men. And how obnoxious those qualities are when you're
eleven years old. Yeah, because they've got to be refined.
(30:47):
It's a diamond that needs to be carved, just a
little bit, not overly carved. That would be great books.
Too bad, you're too busy slash lazy. But that's that's
what being a little boy is. You have all this
boundless energy and confident assertiveness and and sometimes aggressiveness that
needs to be channeled and and and refined and then
(31:09):
not not crushed.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
And then take that kid, he's got that already and
give them, you know, a couple of primes a day
or the Starbucks milkshaker right energy drinks or whatever that
everybody drinks.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, that didn't help. Eh, Well, somebody transcribed that and
put it under a cover, which and I'll I'll call
you my co writer, Have Ai give Ai?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
The prompt was more or less that information might have
it on Amazon by this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Right, may make up a couple of fanciful incidents like
I met with Kim Jong woon or something like that.
Who cares, right exactly?
Speaker 8 (31:43):
You could come back the dumbest thing I've ever heard
in my friggin life, I.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Declare, uh, and he comment on me that because I
was interesting. Text line four one five KFTC.
Speaker 10 (31:54):
Armstrong and the one that is going on now currently
in New York is really about election interference. It is
about trying to prevent the people of our country from
having relevant information that may have influenced how they could
(32:15):
have voted. In twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Whoa wha, wha, wha wha, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa was that?
Hillary Clinton, the woman whose campaign hired Christopher Steel and
commissioned the Steele dossier, then labeled those expenditures as legal fees,
saying Donald Trump was guilty of crimes for doing the
precise same thing. Well, that takes the hubris of a well.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Hillary Clinton, right, and all this federal election stuff, lots
of people get hit with that and pay fine. Obama
paid like a huge fine for some federal election violation.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Rampant systemic campaign fraud.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Partially because there's a gazillion laws in their complicated and
all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
But it's not uncommon.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
It's the sex has so much to do with it,
and the ridiculous insinuation that that is what the case
is about.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, if this were a dry campaign finance case,
leaving aside that the ridiculous notion that trying to cover
up an affair or keep it quiet is election fraud.
I mean that's I could explain to a fairly small
child why that's a stupid charge, and they'll never get
(33:34):
a conviction. Putting that aside, Yeah, nobody would be paying
much attention at all. Well, there wouldn't be a criminal
trial over a campaign finance violation. Are you kidding me?
You get a hire a fine for going eighty miles
per hour in the seventy mile per hour zone.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Funny, it just popped back into my head. I heard
somebody referring yesterday to the lawyers. Questioned your aunt questioned
Stormy on a passage from her memoir, And I thought.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
She wrote a memoir. Did anybody buy that and read it?
Who are you? I think the memoir included the whole
paranormal investigator subplot, right, Yeah, but she wrote a memoir.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Well, she was she had come her way in middle age,
passed her hottest period of her life, a way to
make a little money as a broke person, and she
was trying everything she could, including the conversation that came
out in the trial yesterday that she really had to
get that one hundred thirty thousand dollars before the election
because Trump was going to lose, like everybody thought, including me,
(34:35):
then she'd have no leverage. Well, that's extortion, right, there,
isn't it. If you're stating out loud, you've got leverage
right now, right for an act that's already occurred. That's
not a non disclosure agreement, which has to be in advance.
That's extortion, a fact conveniently overlooked by all of the
frothing mouthed media coverage of all of this. The particular said,
(35:00):
I don't think matter that much historically speaking, but the
idea of prosecuting a candidate an incredibly thin and convoluted
charges to keep them off the campaign trail. Man, if
we as a nation, as Americans, if we let this
go forward, that's going to be awful.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Michael Cohen on the stand on Monday.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
I assume that's going to go several days to the
cross examination, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Man, that is going
to be must read about courtroom drama
