Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gaddy Armstrong and
Jack Katy and no Keee arms wrong yet.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Live from the studio C Signor eight within the dirty
Stinking bells of the Armstrong and Geddy Information Complex. This
is The Armstrong and Getdy Show Live plus You're listening
in the Future by a podcast. October the seventh year
of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. This morning, under the

(00:53):
tutelage of Honorary General Manager, the two Stooges JB. Prisker
and Brandon Johnson Killing I Slash Chicago. I almost went
with the only human being on the planet who's currently
getting more ink, as we used to say in the
journalism business, the only human being getting more coverage on

(01:13):
Earth than Donald Trump, and that would be Taylor Swift,
who at least temporarily is out trumping Trump. But more
on that to come. Jack has joined us. That's exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh man, there's too much vomiting going on in my house.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh gee, many Christmas. That's a hell of an entrance.
That's a hell of a how are you just is?
Normally people say, hey, how's it going? So much vomiting?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh my god, golly, hold on, Katie, I'm sorry, you
have to be part of it.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm gonna put the trash can on the chair right
behind me. Oh colors a little off there, Jack, Oh
feels off. I just started pouring sweat in my car,
like fifteen minutes ago. I was like, what's going on here?
Yesterday I had a sick kated home. Had been a
number of years since I had dealt with that. You know,
the the cleanup. I won't get into the details. Every

(02:06):
parent has. Every parent has done that, though. You got
so many times, so many bottles of cleaning agents and
paper towels and towels and stuff like that, and oh
my god. And I thought while I was doing that,
I thought, is there any chance I avoid catching this?
Which I think I already had. But anyway, that's a
you know, part of the whole parenting deal. The first

(02:27):
time you do that is so it's to yourself, all right,
first time you do that as a parent, Katie'll uh
get to experiences. First time you do that as a parent.
You think I won how many times I'm gonna do this?
The answer is about seven hundred.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
My dad still talks about the time that I peeked
on and when I was three.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
So right, that's funny. All parents have the somewhat charming
story of it happening. So they haven't at the airport
with Sam one time they're at the Denver airport. Oh
my god? Really, okay, that's great. That's enough for me.
That's you know, are you one of those people that
that that talk of or seeing someone else makes you ill.
I'm not bored or whatever. For whatever reason, I could

(03:03):
say I could have people little around me all over
and it would have no effect on me, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Weirdly enough, just as you were walking in, I was
taking a big slug of ice water, which occasionally makes
my stomach feel little, you know, just upset for two minutes.
But yeah, okay, so anyway, can we move on to
death and horror?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
What am I? It's funny.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I came in today thinking the world is just so ugly.
I don't even want to talk about it. But you've
you've changed my mind. Please let's change the subject. What
are you supposed to eat?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Cabbage or something might calm you down. I don't know
a cabbage, you know the classics saltine crackers. Yes, that's
what I kndical food. I should have grabbed the salting.
That's what I had my son. It's funny. I'm better
at giving advice for my kids and me. I had
my son's sitting on the couch eating saltines yesterday. He
was struggling with his deal. Here's here's here's my favorite

(03:54):
thing you need to know today that I just found out. Okay,
because you're gonna hear this whole lot about the shutdown
has finally reached the average American in that TSA are
air traffic controllers are not going to be showing up
to work because they're not getting paid. Right, they don't
miss their first paycheck till next week. If they're staying

(04:17):
home today, that's some sort of political move. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
All the public employee unions are tied, you know, they're
handcuffed to the Democratic Party, and they probably got the message, hey,
start making this inconvenient for Americans.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
But I didn't hear that on any news channel except
for Fox. Every other news channel is going with the
traveling is going to be difficult. Air traffic controllers not
going in since they're not getting paid they haven't missed
a dime yet, and it's going to be a full
week away, and I'm sure a lot of them aren't
paycheck to paycheck, so they're not going to work. And
how would that help not going to work anyway, unless
you're just protesting, you know, so much of the news

(04:51):
media exists to further the aims of the Democratic Party
or the far left wing of the Democratic Party. And
if they accidentally tell you couple of things that are
happening in the world, that's kind of just a side effect.
That's not why they showed up for work in the morning.
I have a number of examples of that today. Yeah,
I don't know, that's not what we do. I find
the whole story of everything interesting, with all the pieces together,

(05:14):
and then you come up with a judgment and the
fact that air traffic controllers, if this goes on for
a couple of weeks, you know, could start affecting travel. Wow,
that's some pretty good point of leverage and everything like that.
Blah blah blah. But also the fact that they haven't
missed a paycheck yet, that seems like a pretty big
piece of the story.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
And won't I mean almost certainly won't because you know
the fact that you never hear on the mainstream media
that this is a so called clean continuing resolution. It's
exactly what they all voted for not long ago. It's
just this is a ridiculous, made up political stunt.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah. Well, you were talking yesterday about how if the
Republicans came on this, it's would you say, to the
end of our country or something like that, something that
something like that. You said something very well, yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
It is the end of any pretense, whatsoever, of spending
within our means.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
MTG Marjorie Taylor Green had a big post yesterday about
how her kids healthcare is gonna double next year if
the Republicans don't go along with the Democrats on this,
and Trump responded to that comment. You know, he'd take
a look at that. He said, it's it's chance they
might the full turn full populist on this. This is

(06:28):
one of those deals where your healthcare got cut during
COVID and now it's going back to what it was before. Right.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
But you're calling that doubling, right because it was a
giant global emergency. I would I would like to know
more about MTG and her kids insurance so she's on
an Obamacare exchange as a United States congress gal.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Maybe I don't know that's what she claimed. She got
a man? Is he unemployed? She got a man?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Are?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
What are they?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Don't? I know nothing about her her personal life, which
is fine. How the hell are her kids on an
Obamacare exchange?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Weren't you? Are they on Medicaid or something? What the
hell weren't you on an elevator with her or something?
I was at an airport with her, We bonded. You
didn't ask Everyone knows it. Why didn't you ask her
about her personal life? But you got a man? That
ring just for show? Or you got a man. Yeah,
that's a decent point. I don't know what the situation

(07:24):
is with her, but but I think there's a chance
the Republicans go populist on this whole healthcare thing. And then,
and I don't know where we are.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Note to self trade in all investments on gold bars.
Comma Berry in backyard, Comma Berry in backyard. Okay, I
don't know. It gets kind of marshy in the backyard,
maybe the side yard. I haven't nailed down wich yard yet,
but by god, there will be gold bars involved. They'll
call Bob Menendez. Can he take calls in prison.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I still have a roll of paper towels next to
me from the covid era, and I'm going to take
this paper tone and I'm going to dab my sweaty
forehead with it. That's what I'm going to do. I'm
sweating because I have Barry Barry clearly or something. Let's
start to show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
on this. It is Tuesday, October seventh, the anniversary of

(08:19):
that horror which we'll be talking more about later the
year twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong in getting and
we approve of this program.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let's begin officially then, according to FCC rules and regulations.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Here we go at Mark.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
The Safari taking a frightening turn when an elephant goes
on the attack.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
We now have the video.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
The group of tourists from the US and UK look
at this, recording the encounter as the elephant charges at
their canoes in those shallow waters in Botswana, flipping over
the boats, the guides and their riders escaping the elephant
eventually eventually back and off Hey.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
As the year Evening News has become what's the hottest
YouTube video? Yes, yes, it was quite a good elephant
attack video as they Yeah, you like you're a fan
of the genre. Yeah, we're discussing what to use as
the opening clip today, and just so many of the
stories seemed to involve anger and horror and violence and
the rest of it. And thought, well, we've never never

(09:13):
opened with an elephant attack before. Pretty sure we have
never opened with an elephant attack. I think you're right.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm sure loyal listeners will tell us if we're wrong,
if there's been an oversight of Sometimes some sort.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Of somebody will say no. January third, nineteen ninety nine,
you opened with an elephant attack, I will say, Okay.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Perhaps a hippo assault tomorrow or a rhino molestation on
Friday as.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
The most horrifying commy attack ever caught on Taming Yeah,
just an unhappy hippopotamus who knows it's right?

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Fox, Big Fox had an actual show called When Animals
Attack Yeah for the summer, right. It was just a
few weeks worth or something, or just want.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Fast animals, slow children. It was a good chef at
better times, simpler times. We got some more details on
the stories of the day coming up. I'm gonna eat
some saltine crackers. We get Katie's headlines. Next, here's our
text line four one, five two nine KFTC. Here's a
sports headline for our Lakers fans in the audience. Fifteen

(10:16):
years ago to a day, Lebron James made his to
me embarrassing decision television special announcement about going to Miami.
And he's going to make another one today, the second decision,
Lebron James, nine o'clock West Coast time. He's going to
make an announcement. Okay, I'll adjust my schedule. I'm taking

(10:38):
my talents to South Beach. I think he's gonna retire.
I think that's the speculation.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, all right, well that's just the end of an era. Okay, yeah,
well it will.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Be Yeah if.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
You care about Lebron and the Lakers, sure exactly. Anyway,
who's reporting what for? Good old man, we've broke on time.
We've got lots of time. We can stretch out and
enjoy ourselves. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Katie, Well, let's start with the Washington Free Beacon quote
rally rage and resist pro hamas student groups plan nationwide
protest on October seventh anniversary.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Wow, of all the things to put your energies into.
From a purely you know, from a purely practical, cynical.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Perspective, Hamas accomplished and the various splinter groups and just
Palestinian civilians who murdered and raped and tortured and abducted
October seventh was successful on a couple of different levels.
Oh yeah, granted it's getting hamas decimated. I certainly hope

(11:50):
it will. But it's done them some good.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Is that a horror to say? Yes, of course it is.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Absolutely It is all these moron angry little children on
our nation's campuses. They wouldn't be out there chanting in
favor of the quote unquote Palestinians unless Hamasid committed its atrocities.
From the Washington I'm sorry, you know, as long as
I'm ranking coward, macrone and spineless care starmer and the Canadians,

(12:23):
shame on you. They wouldn't be recognizing a Palestinian state
if not for October seventh. In the inevitable backlash.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
From the Washington Post, TikTok posts on Israel and Gaza
are overwhelmingly pro Palestinian. They did a study pro Palestinian
to pro Israel seventeen to one.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, and that's that's not an accident.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
We've been teaching the kids the victim of presser thing,
the settler colonial garbage for years and years, and they
believe it. If it's thoroughly indoctrinated. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
From NBC, Trump floats invoking the Insurrection Act to combat crime.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
In major cities. He likes poking people.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Battle to CNN stated unequivalent of the anchor today.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I happened to be listening briefly.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Ironic that on January sixth there was an insurrection and
Trump did nothing, and now he's trying to use the
Insurrection Acts.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I was flipping by MSNBC last night. I caught the
part of Rachel Maddow's show, which I don't usually watch.
I just flipped by, and the guy was saying, and
just like Hitler did in nineteen thirty six, Trump is
and then I switched away. Wow, Wow, this is all
you talk about comparisons between Trump and Hitler. Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
From Breitbart dot com, war Zone Chicago sees over thirty
two thousand shooting victims in the last decade alone.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Oh yeah, thirty people got shot last weekend.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
While JB.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Pritzker and half wit Brandon Johnson were announcing that.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
The Chicago's fine, We're doing great. They had thirty last
weekend shooting out.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's a fairly light wow weekend, honestly.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
From Fox News. FBI says Jack Smith.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Tracked private communications and calls of nearly a dozen GOP
senators during the J six probe.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Right, yeah, we need to get into that. Okay, I
don't know that story. I want to hear it. Yeah,
it ought to be. It's Chuck.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
What's his Chuck Grassley, the one hundred and seventy five
year old senator from Nebraska's at Iowa, Iowa.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I know it was lots of amber waves of grain
that this is bigger than Watergate. Okay, but it's getting
no pickup on the lefty media.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Of course, I missed this story because I was watching
Rachel Manow Oh good from ABC.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Mark Sanchez now facing felony charge of battery involving serious
bodily injury.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah. I think if that truck driver hadn't stabbed the Sanchez,
he would have been killed. He would have been beaten.
To death. That's a heck of a story. And the guy,
as I predicted yesterday, the truck driver's suing Sanchez.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
There was a wrinkle to this where a bunch of
tourists are going to where this happened and taking photos.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Of the drops of blood on the sidewalk. Like football
fans are crime fans. Yeah, both football and crime fans. Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
From CNBC, the price of gold reached four thousand dollars
an ounce for the first time ever.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Wow, why didn't I buy gold? I've been on the
radio saying by gold and I didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
From the New York Post, Whoopy Goldberg suggests Super Bowl
attendees darken their skin and adopt a Latin accent to
dupe ice officers.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Wow, I assume that's a joke. I don't think it was.
You don't think I don't. I wouldn't put it past her.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, that's the way I heard it reported. She was like,
let's just flood them with people who look you know, Hispanic.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Well, the joke Michael Cha had because the the story
is that with Bad Bunny performing and he's big in
the Hispanic community, that there will be a lot of
illegals around and so I say it's going to be there,
and Michael Chase joke, I'm Sarah, I'm live. Yeah for
all the farm workers who can afford Super Bowl tickets,
which is a pretty decent joke.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
From study Bines Fraud Nation Americans hit with one hundred
scam attempts every month, the top in the world.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Where the money is Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
And finally from the Babylon b ESPN to no longer
cover Sports will focus exclusively on the WNBA.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh. I saw a different headline French Jews feel they
may have to leave the country, similar to story we
had about England the other day. That's an interesting story.
On October seventh.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'd say, yeah, that is one of the biggest stories
on Earth, and it's going to be getting more and
more attention.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Joe's got the bigger than Watergate story for us. I
can't wait, Dared Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
The pharmacy chain Right eight announced last week that it
has officially closed all of its locations. Oh tough break
for the thousands of customers who are still in line.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I didn't know Right Aid went out of business. So
there's like Walgreens and CBS pushed him out of business. Huh,
that happens. You know, it's part of the it's capitalism.
The Right Aid near me closed and I didn't know
it was part of the just the national thing. They're
just all going away.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, I'll post my grief on Netscape navigator.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
You know it's it's fine. You know it's interesting, is I.
I've heard so many news stories where they say Walgreens
and CBS have grown, no mention of the Costco pharmacy,
which I keep saying is the best pharmacy I've ever used.
I love the Costco pharmacy. Yeah. Yeah, Nostalgia for.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Brands is an odd thing, particularly when I mean I
was not a big Right Aid customer, but I can't
believe that the experience was that much different. No going
to any other drug store. Well, remember I've told the
story of I was. That was always true to me
up until Costco.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
So I was at CBS and I had a drug
and I was having trouble getting in. It was really expensive,
and the and the woman said can I talk to
you for a second over there? And I was like, okay, sure.
The pharmacists walks around, we go over by the water Fountain.
She said, fire you, I'd go to Costco. This is
going to be like four dollars at Costco. I said, okay,
and then that and that's That's been my pharmacy since

(18:53):
it's faster, it's cheaper. But I'm not doing an ad
for them. It's just been my experience. Interesting.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
So, I I came across a tweet from the fabulous
Cheryl Atkisson yesterday. She was reacting to a tweet by
Chuck Grassley, who says, this document shows the FBI, the
Biden FBI spied on eight of my Republican Senate colleagues
during its Arctic Frost investigation into election conspiracy. Arctic Frost

(19:24):
later became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump. And he
says Biden FBI weaponization worse than Watergate. And it's interesting
because Cheryl says the spying won't stop since nobody was
ever held accountable dating back to the spying on me
and my family and more. And I was trying to
dig up the details of that in the last couple

(19:45):
of minutes because I don't remember the specifics of who
in the FBI was surveilling. Cheryl Atkins at Kisson but anyway,
here's what they're talking about out Several Republican senators revealed
yesterday that former Special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the

(20:08):
January sixth riot had analyzed the phone records of nearly
a dozen GOP lawmakers. This came to light after a
document from the investigation, dubbed code named Doctor Frost, was
discovered by cash Pttel. The FBI obtained Cellular Analysis Survey
Team records for nine Republican members of Congress in twenty

(20:30):
twenty three, including Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, and others.
Josh Hawley, who comments later The records allowed investigators to
see metadata such as the date, time, and length of
phone calls, but not the contents of the conversations. It's interesting.
This is like an AI summary. What about the names.

(20:52):
Surely the phone numbers and who they were calling was included,
maybe not the contents of conversations. That's an interesting omission.
The phone records were obtained through a grand jury subpoena,
a lawful process for federal investigations, they point out, but
Republicans are condemning the action as a politically motivated abuse
of power. And weaponization of the FBI. Josh Holly's calling

(21:14):
for a full investigation.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
You know, one thing I took from Tucker Carlson's documentary,
Yes I'm going to quote Tucker Carlson's nine to eleven documentary.
Is he Tuckerkutarlson? He was talking about and we all
know this is true. All the different ways the government
can spy on so many people if they want to,
and there are a variety of rules of where you
can only get you know, you can get the number

(21:37):
they called, the number they called from, but you can't
get this. But there's another agency that can get that,
and you can get that information from that agency, or
you let a foreign country do it, and then they
give us the information and then we give that foreign
country our information because their outlawed. I mean, there's all
kinds of ways around that if somebody wants to spy
on you.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, that's absolutely true. So eight is it?

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Eight Senators?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
The FBI just got all the records, all right, Who
are they calling, who are they talking to, how long
are they talking to them?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
What's going on here?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Investigating the January sixth I guess that does not seem kosher. Well,
Morall come of this cash Pttels ensued in Josh Hawley's
Howland Well your top cop in America?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Pam Bondi is going in front of a committee to
be interrogated today. Now is that on television or is
it going to be a real hearing. I'm I'm of
the belief that no hearings should be televised at this point.
I think there's nothing to ever be gained from a
televised hearing because it just becomes a TV show. But
for our purposes as an entertainment product, if it's on television,

(22:46):
we can probably get quite a bit out of it
because it's going to be happening while we're on the
air today. Yeah yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
She's feisty looking hear then they're gonna be going after
well the Democrats are now yeah yeah, And then the
Republicans will say national hero, Pambondi joined this, madame Attorney General.
The American people can can't even thank you enough for
your service.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
And then the next guy gets.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Up, You are hitlerrite fascist, attacking the very fiber of
the American experiment. How do you explain yourself? Can't say yes,
no question, wasn't on the.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Other side of the eye. You're Mussolini with blonde hair.
Say yes, no question. And then the next person is,
we have never had a woman on Mount Rushmore. I
would like to hear by pass a resolution that Pambondi
should be on.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Madam Attorney General, would you recite the plaguere of allegiance.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
With me today?

Speaker 2 (23:44):
All right, I caremba, you're a hippler.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Let's say yes, no question. That's no way to run.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Y.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Hey, so that Supreme Court case I was so hot
to trot about yesterday is happening today. That incredibly important
freedom of speech case, part of the transgender Insanity of
twenty twenty through twenty twenty four, or whatever you want
to do. You know, you put on your own time

(24:18):
limits to when you think the transgender lunacy was at
its height. There are twenty states that say you cannot
say to a confused adolescent girl, hey, you know what,
you're a young woman. Let's talk about the other things
that are bothering you instead of I don't know, cutting
off your healthy breasts or pumping you full of hormones.

(24:38):
That is illegal to say as a counselor in twenty
states of scene. There are similar bands in twenty states
to the band which is before the court.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I thought California was an outlier in that. Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Now there are a lot of things that are like
thirty twenty in favor of sanity, including boys and girls, sport,
and you know, there are a couple of others of
those issues, you know, access to locker rooms and that
sort of thing. It's mostly sanity. But the problem is

(25:13):
the Blue states, which are you know, generally speaking, you know,
maybe fifty five forty five Democrats the Republicans, but their
state house and their governor is reliably Democrat.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
They went so far left. You have forty.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Percent of American states passing these bizarre radical laws, while
it's only about fifteen percent of the people. But anyway,
we're undoing them as fast as we can, thank god.
But more on that case and some similar topics to come.
So oh, including the guy who is going to assassinate

(25:52):
poor Brett Kavanaugh decides he's a girl. All the mainstream
media falls into line, and the judge reduces the sentence.
It is happy that the family has finally realized that
he's really a girl, and this is something we should
all celebrate.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
It is crazy. Well, that happened with what is the
name of the was a was a man now a woman?
Uh no, that's that. It's always goes went by a
man's name, now goes by a woman's name. Did all
the leaking to Wikipedia back in the day. And then

(26:27):
Bradley Manning, Yeah, Bradley Manning, who is Chelsea Manning? And Obama,
you know, commuted her sentence. I think mostly because okay,
because you're now you're a girl. Okay, well then you
shouldn't be in prison or something or that excuses your behavior.
I don't even know what the thinking is behind that.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
But more Obama was part of the eternal omni cause
you just have to back each other.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So this is Nobel Prize week. We didn't mention the
prize in medicine yesterday. We'll have to mention that later
because it was an interesting one. Today the Nobel Prize
in Physics was ordered. I was up for that. I
got this thing I do with a slinking on the
stairs that I thought, what's really interesting, But once again
I got overlooked for a couple of dudes with their
work in quantum mechanics, which I want to try to
talk to you about later. It's very difficult. I lose

(27:11):
the thrial.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Talk to your dog, you're wasting your time with me.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I lose the thread quite quickly on quantum mechanics, but
I find it fascinating.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Blind leading them find speaking of needing medical care. I
was so happy when pumpkin carving went safe and they
had tools that were not knives, because I can't be
trusted with knives. And I think of that mostly because
our good friends at Webroot are pointing out that while
we're busy carving pumpkins and planning customs, cyber criminals are

(27:39):
plotting their next move. Do not let them turn your
October into a nightmare, the cyber scaries month. That's when

Night football.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Didn't dig it as a Chiefs fan, but man as
one of the best plays I've ever seen by Trevor
Lawrence of the Jaguars. We'll play the highlight of that later.
Trevor Lawrence Peter Townsend lookalike. He is something six six
two twenty. That's one of those that all men should do.
This with NFL players. You see a guy, he's built
like a brick s house. He's taller than you but

(28:56):
weighs less than you. That happens a lot. I appreciate
it. It you think I didn't realize I was.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
And to quote a long time clip of the Armstrong
and Getty Show, he has beautiful horror like a caveman. Okay,
we got email along the way and a bunch of
other stuff to.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Get to stay here. Yeah, I'm starting to understand your mood.
You got. There's just too much and I mean some
of it is good, but it's just too much roiling
going on, you know, Antifa, National Guard, shut down, piece deals.
Just there's too much roiling. I need I need less

(29:34):
of that somehow.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. It just seems like every topic,
every geographic location, you know, every media outlet is all
about anger and jacking up the passion, which I get.
I mean, you gotta get cut through sometimes and somehow
rather and sometimes we jack up the passion because are important.

(30:00):
But I don't know, it's just it's a little exhausting.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Anyway. Here's your freedom. Let me quote of the day.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
It's famous one Mahatma Gandhi continuing our series un Change,
little bald Indian guy. Yeah, yeah, British trained lawyer, et cetera.
He's full of resistance. Yeah, be the change that you
wish to see in the world.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Part of the reason I like that quote, well, it's
just a great quote. And also because so much of
young passionate America thinks that means bully people online or
yell a lot in break university campuses.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I think they took down the Gandhi statue in the
park where I live, And I don't remember why. In
what way was he a found actual peccadillos. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it was something political.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I thought it was a hashtag me too thing.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
I don't remember. Huh, you'll have to look at that
up Where was I?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh? Anyway, So the youngsters and the Obama types who
hear that quot they think that means yell and scream
and compare people to Hitler and call them fascists and
wreck your campus and yell at Jews and the rest
of it. No, it means embody the principles you think

(31:15):
are important. If you think there should be more goodness,
be good. If you think there should be more I
don't know, charity, Give to charity, not yell at other
people to do it. Mailbag ums, would you mail bag?

(31:36):
And arm struggling to get a dot com?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yes, Jack, it's all about some sort of racism and
about South Africa and colonialism that he supported or something.
I remember that always something like that.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Oh boy, oh, let's see, here's another Jay in San
Jose writes, the reason San Francisco's begin to turn itself
around in Portland hasn't. It's because San Franciscans are more worldly, wealthy,
and serious, even if they are liberal elite. Wealthy folks
do not like inconveniences or loss of wealth, and they
are closely listened to by those in political power. Portlanders
include the remnants of the sixties and seventies hippie commune

(32:09):
culture and continue to elect their kookie friends. All of
Oregon has three billionaires, just the city of San Francisco
has fifty eight.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I didn't know that the reason Portland officials.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Seem to operate with impunity is there's no check in
balance by the electorate or the wealthy. In San Francisco
is the wealthy who finally put their foot down.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
I don't know if I buy that. I just think
it is in a different spot on the timeline. I
remember the first time I went to Portland thirty years ago,
I was like, Wow, this is like San Francisco without
the bums. It hadn't happened there yet, so they're just
behind the curve, and even those people will get fed
up with it, just like the people of San Francisco
finally got fed up with it.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yes, but will they have the heft, which was Jay's point,
to get things done because it takes it. Sometimes it
takes more than a majority, or more more than like
an angry forty five percent, if they're still outnumbered by
the hippie dippies and there are no true pullers of

(33:07):
strings behind the scenes insisting that hey, the forty five
percent is right and we've got to come correct. It
might not happen the hippie I guess we'll all figure
it out together. Tom in so Col writes, guys, as
the world continues to spiral towards who knows where, maybe
we can learn something from our friends in Finland. They
have a word at which I am going to slaughter
sauna cal Sara cannot, which translates translates to getting drunk

(33:32):
alone at home in your underwear with no intention of
going out.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Hasn't that word for that?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, I've heard that before, if not verified, it's uh.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Accurates my Saturday nights in much of my twenties and thirties.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
You know, I prefer to wear comfortable, say athleisure clothing.
They have to be in my underwear that depends on
how hot it is outside. Well, sure, yeah, isn't that
what the Dems are essentially fighting for by shutting down
the government to reestablish some of the Medicaid benefits. I think,
at drunk alone at home and you're under earth, no
intention of going out.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I think all languages should have a word for that,
eskimos should have like fifty different words for it, depending
on the snowflake.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay, let's see this is Oh, chuck, do we have
time for this?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Eh?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Probably not give me another time about my comments about
aging rock bands. Let's see Kathy in Spain, right, guys,
listening to your Monday show, something caught my attention. It
feels like the body positivity cause and the transgender cause.
We played some quotes from this six hundred pound troubled

(34:39):
young woman who's body positivity activist, who is lecturing everybody
about how she's disowned her entire family because they're not
pro Palestinian enough, And it's like, wait a minute, you're
an obese body, so why are you talking.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's because it's the omni cause.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Anyway, Kathy points out, it feels like the body positivity
cause and the transgender cause should be diametrically opposed, not
lumped together. One movement says you should love your body
no matter what it looks like, and not make efforts
or feel pressure to change it. The other movement says,
if you're unhappy with your body, you should change it
until you're happy with it and get carved up, be
fed powerful chemicals.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
That is an excellent and obvious point, but not obvious
enough for me to have ever thought of it. M Yeah,
that's amazing that that's the same crowd.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, that's such a good point. Just thought i'd share
with that with the class. Keep up the great work.
Kathy in Spain. Thanks Kathy.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
No no, no taking a drug to lose weight, that'd
be giving in to the haters or something. You can't
do that.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Having your healthy breasts carved off because you don't feel
like a straight woman maybe, but that's even better. These
people are insane. It's just whatever. The I am against
the norms stance is. If you're part of the omni cause,
you must embrace it. That's what and it ends up

(35:57):
with the lunacy of queers for Palestine. That's what queer means,
strong against the norms exactly. Yeah, let's see that's really funny,
but we have no time.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Candice Owens is insane. I want you to do that
email about aging rock stars. I think that's an interesting
topic because that's a bit that's a big industry in
the country. Right now, I will hang on to it.
See ads every day speaking of music stars, Taylor Swift
at a couple of interviews and things, and showing up
on the news last night before I get to that
at some point. Anyway, if you missed Secment, get the
