has been in the last few years.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I feel like that they've started breaking down intelligence into
different groups. Yeah, it used to be smarter dumb, but
now there's different kinds of intelligence, including emotional intelligence. And
I ran into a guy who had very low emotional
intelligence or whatever ability it is that some people have
or don't have to read a room to read other

(00:58):
people's language or faces or whatever, right, and it's amazing.
I mean I have run into several people. I know
some people that are very high on that, Like I
think Trump is extraordinarily high on that. He probably actually
is genius level when it comes to emotional intelligence. I
think a lot of successful people probably are. But I've
known some really smart, successful people that seem to have

(01:20):
like zero I mean, they're like imbeciles.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
When it comes to emotional intelligence.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
And I met one on vacation as I said, the
world's least humble marine, and yes, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I was just going to say, do you think a
decent description of emotional intelligence is understanding how the other
person is receiving an exchange?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Perceiving that? Absolutely, And.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
It seems to me the people that are really bad
at it have never even considered the idea of wondering.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
How other people are reacting to them.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
It's kind of like, truly, the uh, you have no
idea how bad or the more dumb you are, the
smarter you think you are, one of those things.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, everything, asked their question. Yeah, it's the whole.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Incompetent people don't know they're incompetent. And I guess that's
true on all topics and my experience with military people
as we've Joe and I have done so many things
with so many military people over the years, and we
both have family members in the military. Military people tend
to be pretty humble just the way they are, and
the higher up the food chain you go in that

(02:26):
the more likely they are to be humble, like Special
Forces dudes, super humble guys you would never know there.
And most Marines I've ever met in my life were
like that also except for this guy. So I'm on
vacation and my son and I is actually going to
be both my boys and I were going to take

(02:47):
this boat trip. It's like this inflatable boat probably fit
fifteen to twenty people on it, maybe a couple of motors,
and you're going to go out on the ocean and
it was described as a pretty rough ride and then
you ride around in the ocean and then there's going
to be some snarkling and then a ride back and it
has a pretty long trip. It was like three hours total.
But anyway, they made it clear it is really rough.

(03:08):
And then my youngest son decided he didn't want to
do it, and thank god he made that decision because
he would have never been able to handle it.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It was grueling. I mean it guling.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, you had to have your feet underneath these straps
and then you had to hang on with both hands
to these other ropes.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Have you done this before?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I have?

Speaker 5 (03:25):
And these boats are not a smooth ride.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, no, super rough and you like had to hang
on really hard with your legs and your arms to
stay in the boat.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
And it was hours of this.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
And it is a pretty physically grueling thing to do,
and it was fun, but I mean you'd go over
waves and land and boom and it's just like such
a jolt.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
To your spine. I mean, it was it was wrong.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
AnyWho, So before we got on the boat, there's a
young dude in a bucket, hat, sunglasses, and a this
is on the fourth of July, a red, white.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And blue speedo.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And he's a super fit guy, like big guy, guessing
like six two two ten, very fit, very muscular dude.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Just to clarify, the bucket, had the sunglasses, the speedo
and nothing else.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Correct, Okay, all right, he had flip flops on.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well, grandmom have a pair of flip flops, red white
and blues speedo and uh, you know, there's a variety
of groups so like husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends,
or like me and my son. And then he's by
himself and they talk about before we're gonna get on
the boat. The captain who is a super cool dude,

(04:42):
really really cool dude. He was uh six years in
the Coastguard and then he's run other big ships around
the world and he piloted this thing and he went
in and out of rocks. I mean He's like one
of the most confident people I've ever been around in
my life.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I wish I was like him.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
He was military, so that factors into the story because
he was like your regular military guy.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Kind of humble and you know, not trying to show
off or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
So he tells we're all to sit on the boat,
and you know, if you really want a smoother ride,
sit in the back. It gets rougher as you go
toward the front. And then if like you're really worried
about this, sitting the miller middle pillar.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
And so there are some older people that.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Sat in the middle pillar, some girls dead, and it
kind of spread out, and my son and I were
up toward the front. Marine guy takes fronts. He said,
I'll take front, and guy said, okay, cool, you're sure,
and he said, I'm semper.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Five man, I don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh, so, right off the bat, Marines never freaking tell
you you're there marine unless it comes up in conversation. The
fact that he just said that right there is the
first time I've ever heard that in my life.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
At the guy in the speedo.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
So he gets up there and he's sitting toward the front,
and uh, we take off on the boat and he's
just non stop talking the whole time, never stops talking,
talking to the captain, talking to all the girls around him,
of course, non stop chatterbox. Kind of know how many
times you mentioned he was a marine or he was simperfie.
Wait too many times not hanging on to any of
the ropes. He would just fly up in the air

(06:07):
and land and kind of balance some stuff. See, I
don't need to hang on I'm simper fine.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
And I hate them already, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
And it gets worse.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
So they're going around and so they start handing out
The captain starts handing out gloves.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
He said, you're your your your.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Knuckles are gonna get rubbed bloody holding onto the ropes
against the canvas of the boats.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Let me guess, So if you want to wear gloves,
you can get him.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
He said, I don't need them, and the captain CD,
I didn't know you'd take any captain city.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
The captain is already tired of this, dude. You can tell.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Captain says, uh, yeah, I didn't figure you want to.
Of course, not simper five. We don't use gloves, okay,
we get it, dude, You've made it clear to everyone
on this tiny boat who's hurt you already you were
in the Marines. He's actually still with the Marines. But
you're a tough guy. We all fully understand.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
The whole dynamic of what's going on.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
We just stipulate that move on, get it, and it's
neat okay.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
So we're on this boat ride and the captain points
out a couple of hikes and swims that people do
in this touristy area on the ocean, and he talks
about this one. It's a seventeen mile hike and swim.
Not very many people do it.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Do it? Do it? It's really really hard to do.
It's really grueling.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
You have to be like an expert swimmer. Marine voices.
I just did it, did it yesterday. I didn't think
it was that big a deal.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Yea, Oh, this is
why you go ahead.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
It says when you go whoops.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
And accidentally just donkey kick him off the side of
the above.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
You know, if only his dad had told him like once,
I'm proud of you son, or a good job.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh wow, you think that's it? Uh? That could be
it and not a shock that he was by himself.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
But so he had done this grueling like seventeen mile
coastal swim or whatever, and the captain, the coast guard
veteran guy was pretty person.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
He said, wow, you did that, and he said, yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I didn't think it was that much. And I don't
know how many people have done that? Were you with
some people? Says by myself. He said, man, that's not
a very good idea. I usually suggest if people are
going to do that swim they have a boat with
him or nah, that says the marine guy. Okay, fine,
we get that going. But here's the ending of my story.
This is my favorite part of the whole thing. The captain,
super cool guy, has a big speaker on his boat

(08:20):
and he's blasting music the whole time, which made it
kind of fun. And he's got like a bunch of
different cool songs, so Jimmy Buffett tunes and different stuff
like that and just you know, kind of songs that
people would like. And then this song comes on Michael,
So that song starts and the marine says, hey, you.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Know what I call this song?

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Captain's like what Freeballin'? Oh no, He's like, what Freeballin'.
You know, you haven't ever heard that term Freeballin'. It's
like when guys don't wear underwear.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
We call it freeballin And I wanted to say to him,
everybody got it, dude, We all understood from the first
moment you said you're pun, You're You're you're fantastic pun.
We just thought it was like coursing uncool, and there's
you know, there are a couple of they're not children
on here, but there's a couple of like high school
girls or whatever, not appropriate content for them or whatever.

(09:15):
So then when it gets to the chorus, the course
comes on and he stands up.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
So now free balling, like, really emphasize it.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Get it frea, Come on, everybody's free balling?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Are you Jessicles Michael, You're right, Yes, they're good.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I actually thought, at one point, are you a Saturday
Night Live bit?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
I was gonna ask, are you in the background of
some jackass ish video you're reacting to?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
That's wow? It was amazing.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
This guy sounds cringe from start to finish. Every part
of this. I hate jack Oh.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, it was just it was tough and I didn't
know if my son was picking up on it or not.
But when we got off the buddy he was like, God,
that guy was an ad you knowle Oh yeah, everybody
and the captain just trying to ignore it.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know what do you call it? Free balling? Okay?
Do you get it? Yeah? I get it.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
We all get everybody gets it. See the problems. And
that's where I come in with the emotional intelligence thing.
I mean, it was clear all of us looking around
that we I mean, we're all looking at each other.
We all felt exactly the same way. And I would
like to It's like an experiment as a sociologist to
talk to the guy and say, are you really not
picking up on any of the cues that everybody on

(10:32):
this boat is giving that one? They're tired of hearing
you talk too. They don't think your course jokes are funny,
like you really that hasn't sunk into you at all?

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Was he drinking?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
No? Okay?

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Do you think he was a real marine or was
he just being Marie?

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I definitely think he's a real marine, and he had
all the They talked a lot about what base you've
been on and when you get out and blah, blah blah.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
He had too much knowledge about it.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think his marine I just think he I think
he's a super stud athlete, really good looking guy. So
the the there's a captain, and then there's another person
who's like the tour guide and talks and takes lots
of pictures.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
And she was like twenty five and super attractive.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
She went up to the front to sit by him
at one point, like when we first started, because I
think she was saying, here's a single guy, good looking guy.
I'm good looking girl, gonna talking. She was up there
like five minutes, went back to the back.

Speaker 9 (11:19):
Of the boat.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
Okay, from the department of this is why you're single, dude?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
You know, uh number number one?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Well, I'll skip to this second point reminds me of
a dude I ran into in Lama's classes when Judy
was pregnant with her first and it was so obviously
a case where a big stud dumb ass found himself
some hot dumb chick and the two of them got

(11:51):
together and pretty quickly started to make each other insane.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
And he is so clearly headed for that sort of
future he is.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
He's got to be in the outermost like three percent
of utterly clueless.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Right, And man, imagine how difficult that is to make
it through life if you can't read other people's reactions
to you at all.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, and you're standing on a boat, screaming, freeballing.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Right and in a family setting.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, I mean it would have been it wouldn't have
been funny if we'd all been nineteen year old dudes.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's still yeah, we get it, We got it right
at the beginning. You don't need to sing it.

Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, there was no way for the captain to make
him accidentally fall overboard.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well, I was just gonna say, karma really demanded that
when the boat flew up in the air, he smacked
down hard, maybe on them, you know, Karma punishing him
for his well, the aforementioned sins.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
And I thought kind of what you were thinking there,
is like, how many women have fallen for this good
looking studley dude and how long did it take him
to figure out?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
And or is the reverse?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Is this it's the really dumb hot chick that guys
put up with for a while.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't know, but.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
I see him connecting with either the and forgive me
for referencing it an anyway, but the Hawk Twak girl
who was viral for a cup of coffee, or the
two stupid good looking chicks who stole the girl scouts money.
Who We've played the clips of whoa whoa right many times. Well,
they had the money and I wanted it. He'll end

(13:28):
up with one of them or both of them.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Probably Speaking of the hawk two egg girl, I just
want to let you know. I was at a bar
over our vacation and my husband was elsewhere. So this
guy came up and stood next to me and went, Hey,
I just want to let you know. You look just
like the hawk two ey girl. Oh, And I said,
first of all, no, I don't. Second of all, is
that your opening line? That's what you're going up to

(13:51):
chicks now and saying, So anyway, I'm apparently the other
hawk two ey girl.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
I got a marine, buddy, I think you should beat
it to you and get along.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Great Jack, Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show,
arm Strong and Getty Show.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Here's we're talking about the neo Marxist trying to subvert
society and what Americans love and are proud of and
the rest of it. And a lot of people go
along with them because they think they're doing the right thing.
Here's a Democrat led town in Connecticut. This state trooper
was killed by a hit and run driver last week.
Young man family, the whole tragic story that you've heard,

(14:35):
you know too many times. But several of the council
people wanted to fly the thin blue Line flag in
his honor and explained why they wanted to and what
a fine fellow he was and what a tragedy it was.
But several of the council members said, no, we can't
do that. It represents racism and antagonism to many many people.

(14:56):
And if you don't personally believe that, and you fly
it at your house and think it means something you,
that's fine, but we can't do it because again, it
represents racism antagonism to many many people.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Here's how this works.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
The flag, which has always indicated support for concern for
love for police officers. During the heyday of the defund
the police movement, the Black Lives Matter movements, which are
both neo Marxist movements, they're trying to tear down the West.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
They've admitted as much.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
While they were in the midst of that fervor they
convinced people that any support of police police is racist
and antagonistic, even though it's not and it was never
intended to be.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
But they convinced a bunch of people.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
That a legitimate expression of support for police is racist.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
And so now you have people saying, I've heard that's racist, right,
or at least controversial.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
That's how that works, as James Lindsey has put at Really,
James lindsay, if you want to control something, call it
racist until you control it.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Here's another brief example.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Here's a North Carolina teen, North Carolina, you ought to
be better than this, suspended from school for using the
term illegal alien in a classroom discussion. An administrator likened
that to saying the N word, sixteen year old Christian McGee. Right, wow, right,
and so now is this here's the difference between the

(16:26):
N word and illegal alien.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I can say illegal alien over and over, just like
you did, teacher, illegal alien, illegal aid. Try saying the
N word. You'll notice the difference real quick well, and
check federal statutes. You will find the term illegal alien
all over the damned place. So is this school administrator
an activist, a neo Marxist activist could be there are

(16:48):
a lot of them. Are they just a soft head
that has been swept up in thinking, Oh, that's I'm
told that it's it's racist to use that term, So
I'm gonna punish anybody who does.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Probably that one useful idiot, right, It is in.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
No way, which is why it makes me so crazy
that now you hear even Fox News using the term migrant.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
How did we.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Decide to go from illegal immigrant to immigrant to migrant.
It's because activists on the far left insisted on it
and said, if you don't, you're a racist.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
And people said, I don't want to be a racist,
so I'll do what you tell me to do.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
How about a little independent thought, folks, goodness, This is
the Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast One more Thing,
Get it wherever you like to get podcasts.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
We got.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
This is about the way I grill and the pictures
I've tweeted out and Katie's complain about my grilling re
IQ differences, which we were talking about differences different kinds
of Intelli earlier in the show. Somebody texted Jack seems
to be brilliant at history, but then he puts his
grilling utensils on the ground.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
So, yes, there are different kinds of intelligence.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
That's a great point.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yes, the contrast shocking. I don't know why I put
the spatula on the ground.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
And well, not just that, but them we brought. When
we pointed it out to you said.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well where else where? Should I put them?

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Anywhere else?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Jack?

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yes, even on a paper towel on the ground, although
that's just partial credit. Did get this note from Dan
in North Carolina. I'm with you, Jack, I have zero
interest in grilling, and am convinced that half the men
that claim to be interested are latent junior high schooler's
desperate to fit in. So, like the brave, massed intellectual
walking your parade route, I say f you to those

(18:46):
who bows.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, I don't mean. I don't think there's got to
be a flaw in other people that liked grill. I
just I just don't enjoy it, and I have no
interest in learning to be better at it.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
And then Dan spends a tale worth telling as an aside,
I have a relative by marriage. Of course, it fancies
himself a master griller. So the propane grill was too bourgeois,
so he purchased the same charcoal grill you have, except
apparently he couldn't figure out how to install the legs,
so he just put it on top of a deck railing.

(19:21):
Then he lit the fire in there, burned a hole
almost completely through a plywood table, and emblazoned the leaves
around the car port, which led to a fire department visit.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Emblazoned.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
He is in quotes like that reporter, bet.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
His steaks are great, though, Yeah, the grilliest and the
anti grillist.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yeah, is that the newest fault line, the dividing line
in American society.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, so I'm giving up on that manly skill, but
hoping I make for it and other manly areas, like
if you couldn't put the legs on that grill, you
really have no ability to fix or work on anything.
Holy crap. They're like, yeah, two screws and a wing nut. Yes,
Katie y is at risk.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
Oh, I just think that if you if you had
a different grill, it might change your experience a little bit. Yeah,
it can't be comfortable being down in that position grilling
at all.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, it's not comfortable in that position doing anything.

Speaker 8 (20:14):
Right, How much did you spend for that grill?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Jack, I honestly think it was on sale. I think
it was eight dollars because it was on sale. It
was like they had two left. Should you spend dollar?
Grill a guy now he's lying.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
He stole it from the guy that lives in front
of the radio station.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Right, lives in his beaten down RV.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
It's the mini Weber, right that sits like a foot
off the ground. The top of it's a foot foot
of maybe a foot and a half.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I think it's designed to take with your camping or something.
It's not designed toilgate the grill you have in your backyard, right.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's kind of funny when I've been looking for a
house and some of these houses, you know, they got
the built in grill with the refrigerator and just all
he didn't a fan above it and all these differents.
I think, I think this is slightly different than what
I hearent have.

Speaker 8 (21:04):
Hanson says he knows a place you could buy, but
she used grills.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Here you go, I should do one with legs. Would
be handy if I didn't have to bend over.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
That's probably enough of that. This was from the Daily
Show last night. Once a week the old host of
The Daily Show, John Stewart is on there pretty funny.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Well, he's actually funny, which is in contrast with the
other hosts. It's certainly Trevor Noah.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
This features a word I knew, I never said and
never will say. And other people think this sort of
humor is funny, and so we didn't air it on
the air. But I realize other people find this humorous.
As I was explaining, though, the media has systematically failed
to contest Sean.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
Please, you're killing me, my poor sweet naive older than
I remember, John, We need this messy spectacle. Every other
news story is a massive bummer. This Trump trial is
like an open window and a greyhound bus full of farts.
Why are you trying to close the window, John, Why

(22:03):
are you trying to make a smell farts.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I'm not trying to make all your and hands.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Our executive producer thought that was funny. I don't like
that word. I don't say that word to me. That
is the F word, and so I will never understand that.
I don't understand it myself. But I'm appalled by that word.
And I do not find there any humor in the topic.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Okay, all right, Captain Cuckoo, whatever, I'm interested in the
angle of we need this story. It's a breath of
fresh air. I mean, it's a is that just lefty insanity.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Or focusing on what time he arrived, what his hair
looked like, did he fall asleep? Just something that's just
that as opposed to super heavy duty, wore abortion, et cetera.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
I guess the weaponizing of the justice system against political
candidates is is light fair.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's hilarious. I think I could stay awake.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I thought it was pretty funny that that young correspondent
said older than I remember John Stewart. She probably was
watching him in like junior high and really into it.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Now she's on the Daily Show. He's a sixties.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
So how it is if you see somebody then see
him five years later, It's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
God, I had one of those the other day. I
ran into somebody, thought, did did I have I aged
the same amount since the last time I saw you
as you have? That can't possibly be true?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, well, okay, I think I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
I didn't take a lot of physics, but I'm pretty
sure time moves the same rate for all of us, right.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Unless one finds one's self in a black hole. Yes,
that is my understanding of.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
So if I run into somebody and they've aged a
certain amount, what lead me to believe that I've aged
the same amount too?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I just haven't recognized him?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
I correct, there, see yourself every day.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
This probably doesn't happen to you, does it, Katie? You're
too young for that.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
No, but it has. I've seen some people from high school.
I'm like, ooh, you're aging, dreamer.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
Can you tell them that?

Speaker 5 (24:13):
No, my face probably does.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
I am the master of saying it with my facial expressions.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Unfortunately, all right, people do age at different rates, though,
I mean, there's the biggest swing is fifteen years. They
say in what age you look once you get older,
depending on genetics and lifestyle. So it's not completely true
that we aged the same amount.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
And I'm realizing the ultimate do you want to look
good now or later?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Is sun exposure? Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
I have a female friend who, uh, All her friends
say why do you look so young? And it's all
because she did not ten when she was younger like
they all did, and she does look She's fifteen years
younger than her contemporaries, at least Wow, So it is tough.
Do you want to be pale person at the pool
when you're twenty two, or do you want to be

(25:01):
looks forty at age fifty person when you're older.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
That's a time call leather fancy.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, I definitely find myself as I am rapidly aging.
Among you got your tans too much, young woman, Then
you got your tens too much forty year old woman,
and you're starting to see the signs of what might
be described as a catcher's mit like.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Dermis.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
And then you have your sixty plus tanned too much woman,
and mannim birds have come home to rooms right about
Hey about.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
A Yeah, that's a heck of a price to pay
to be good in tan when you were twenty five,
really is.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, And again I don't I don't mean to be cruel.
I don't measure people by their looks. But there's no
better term than leathery.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
I remember we had.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
A salesperson referred to as tan guy.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well he was he was, Yeah, he was super Tanya
was actual. It was I know it was real tan
because we went to a company remember there was a
company barbecue once and he did the really odd thing
at this company barbecue, everybody stand out where he took
off his shirt and sat in a lawn chair with
everybody around at the company barbecue so he could get

(26:18):
more sons.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
So I guess, I guess he was tan guy.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
All right, work function, Yeah, but hey, soun's out, guns
out and teats. Apparently exactly guy was in really good shape.
But yeah, he was not gonna waste a single opportunity
to get more UFI raising.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Armstrong and I can work fast. Don't you think it's
a little hot. Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind.
This is the Armstrong and Getty Show.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
It's the Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast One
More Thing. Download it, subscribe to it wherever you like

Speaker 3 (27:04):
So Katie brought us his headline earlier in the show.
Now I have the details. It's really something. The headline
being a woman in Brazil was arrested after she attempted
to get a dead body in a wheelchair to sign
for a bank loan.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
I was on Twitter or x or whatever the hell
it's called now when this video went viral. So I
saw the unedited version, because now it's been blurred all
over the place. This guy was dead dead like oh
not just not just like just dead, but like megadev.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh really been dead a while? Maybe? Can you be
more precise?

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Not Riga mortis dead because she was able to kind
of move him around, but he was super dead.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Shook it out, So here we go.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Woman in Brazil arrested Tuesday suspicion of theft by fraud
and violating a corpse. You know, as I've said many times,
when I'm dead, you can do whatever you want to me.
Don't charge with the crime. I don't care. It doesn't
make any difference. I mean, you're a little weird, but
you violated me in any way.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
I may get a couple of liks, you know, work
out some frustrations.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Jack Pinata, after she brought her dead uncle to a
bank to sign a loan agreement.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
She had raised suspicion after she entered the.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Small bank the bank there in Rio, with a man
in a wheelchair who she called her uncle.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well that's not that would why would that raise suspicion?
That's not weird.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
The woman and they give her name here, which I
can't pronounce, reply reportedly told the clerk that they were
to sign off on this seventeen thousand reass loan.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's all.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's a reass hufty dollars and security cambridge footage which
Katie has seen, the woman can be seen picking up
the man's hand and repositioning his head to try to
get him to sign the document in front of him.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
This guy's head was flopping all over the place.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Ah, my forward, backward, mouth open.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
And then she finally gets irritated enough to just get
a grip on the back of his neck and she's
holding him steady. With the other hand, she's trying to
pick up his arm and get.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It to hold the pen.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
Good good, plot And you say that didn't work.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
His head's going all over the place.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Oh yeah, uh can be picking up the hand reposition
He said, uncle, are you listening?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
You need to sign.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
If you don't sign, there's no way because I can't
sign for you. She can be heard saying on the audio.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
I will just steady your hand. Uncle. Are you listening,
you need to sign. He doesn't say anything. That's just
how he is.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
She tells the clerk when he doesn't reply, if you're
not okay, I'm going to take you to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
But the man's bother.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
The man's unresponsive nature and lolling head, has described by
Katie Green, caused concern among bank employees, who called local
ambulance services.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Dude iss megadd on.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Arriving the doctors confirmed the sixty year old man had
been dead for quite some time. His body was taken
directly to a morgue, and she's been arrested. Creative idea.
Her lawyers are arguing, no, no, no, no, he was fine.
He must have died in the wheelchair as I was
rolling into the bank just before he signed, because we
talked about this, or dright out on the sidewalk before

(30:21):
I rolled him in, And he must have died right beforehand.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
And I just didn't notice, not an effing chance.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
And he is, you know, he was never that energetic
in life, so I didn't notice the difference.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
And his eyes just naturally sunk into his head like that.
He always looked that oh mega dead.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Preliminary preliminary friendsic analysis says he had died at least
several hours before the trying to sign for the loan,
if not longer.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, but if your uncle.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Enrique kicks it, I mean, just between you is to
decide all right, we're going in on this loan together.
He croaks just before you go to the bank. It's frustrating,
it's inconvenience. I say, we stick with plan A and
see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Will you come up with a workaround? That's what that is.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's a work around. Yeah, you try not to let
his head flop all over and you lift his hand up.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
There. As big a hit as Weekend at Bernie's was,
it's amazing to me that dragging a corpse around comedy
didn't become a more important genre. Right, there's only one
movie to refer to, that one. They're in like a
whole bunch of them. I mean American pie spawneds of
imitators for instance.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Right exactly.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
There was a few years ago where the Weekend at
Bernie's Funeral went viral?

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Do you guys remember that?

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I don't know that I do.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
In the headline there were like a series of funerals.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
I think BuzzFeed did like an article about it and
compiled a list of people that, instead of just having
like a regular visitation or whatever, had themselves like dressed
and propped up with like cigarettes put in their hands,
and they were love that and the families were coming
up and like taking pictures with them, And there was
another one that was a weightlifter and they actually attached

(32:00):
her hands to like a deadlift.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You see.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
It depends on the situation though, clearly, because like my
friends would think it was fine, yeah, but my kids
might not.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
I hope.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It depends on the relationship with who it is. So
I'm picturing all right.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
I mean, if you had me sitting in a chair
with my telecaster in my lap, right, you know that's
not bad. Or maybe like some resting down the couch
with a half empty Scotch next to me, like I
was watching a golf tournament and fell asleep.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
My wife would appreciate that one.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Okay, well, yeah, I guess it depends, but yeah, I
could see that. Yeah, well yeah, there's a lot of
caveats to the whole idea, I suppose.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
The weightlifting one got my attention though, because the way
that they have her her propped up and then they
have a bench press over her face like she's about
to just do a big old lift.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
I can't decide if this idea is more charming or horrifying.
I keep going back and forth.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Right, I agree. Is it like like you want to
see him more like like he lived.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Or I guess that could be charming, yesh, or it's horrifying.

Speaker 8 (33:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
You know.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
One thing that I'm in favor of is like for
an obituary or a memorial service or something like that.
I don't like it when they have like the most
recent picture, when when the person is ancient, because as
anybody past the age of fifty especially can tell you
in your heart your soul, who you are is your

(33:42):
young self and you just have aches and pains and
more memories and a little more wisdom and that sort
of thing. But the old dude is kind of a stranger,
Like how the hell did that happen? So I just
when they were youngest, vital, most vital, energetic, when they
were forming who they are.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Give me that picture. Yeah. New York Times is good
at that.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
They use you and your prime picture for all their
obituaries of famous people like I see him every Sunday
in the New York Times book Review whatever author died,
and they have their when they were you know, a
hot sexy woman or a cool young guy or whatever
or whatever they were that had so much to do with.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
The things you wrote, not like just an old person.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yeah, the time of their life they look back on fondly.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, and what they probably became famous for. And now
we're not talking just about famous people, but like in yeah,
and just for everybody.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Now, I've kind of been a doe dip from age
twelve through the grave, so it'd.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Be easier for me. But yes, yeah, I was gonna say,
what what point do I get to choose ahead of time?
What point?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Because like you know, we'll pick him a when was
he young and vital? High school? Here's a good high
school picture. No want young but not vital. Let's keep
it looking.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
I'm writing down my new favorite slam, a doe dip.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, you're right, a doey dip, aren't you all right?

Speaker 8 (35:03):
For my funeral, I'm gonna do radio stuff.

Speaker 9 (35:05):
I'm gonna have open casket with me sitting up with
headphones on my head holding up three fingers exactly counting
us down, and a lot of Jack and Joe there
screaming at you. And then oh, oh hey, hey, then
you can donate money to pay any FCC fines.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
So we did. We would say, I don't know why
we're assuming we are going to outlive you, because I
don't think we are. We would be there then saying
just where's the clip, Michael, just for old time sake,
that would be great.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
No clip forty two forty two, ohit, that's Ridy's past.
