Speaker 1 (00:09):
Thanks broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Getty and no Key Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Tool live from the studio c See Senior. It's a
dimly lit room where deep with from the bowels of
the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, and today ladies and
germs were under the tutelage.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Of our general manager. Forget about it.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Michael Cohen again cross examination today, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I didn't see nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, you're here to testify. Oh yeah, that's right. I
saw something.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's why I'm wearing my America hat. It's an important
day for America. It could be a turning point turning points.
I hope not.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I hope America doesn't turn on Michael Cohen's testimony in
this stupid, stupid trial.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That'd be rough.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You watch cable TV, you might think it is, as
you know, such a day him doing excited, excited about
the day, big finish down come.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
On, hidnack note.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So I've got an idea. I need help. I need
somebody to help me get dressed in the morning. Since
I had since I had my motorcycle wreck. I've had
a very hard hard time getting dressed, and uh, I
don't want to have to pay anybody, So I wonder
if we could make it an internship. I just need
somebody to come to my house. This is what you
learn about radio by dressing an old man in the morning. Wow,
(01:56):
could be your entry into the business, the hot, the rising,
more and more promising everyday radio business. What am I
learning about radio by putting your socks on? Shut up,
put my socks on. I'm trying to listen to the news.
I need someone to dress me in the morning because
I'm winning a very very difficult and to change my bandages,
which is another fun part.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, Oh, just let people know that are listening. That's
how I started out. Joe had an injury.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Exactly, Michael changed his bandages and dressed him. And that's
how you ended up with this lifetime career. And that
you know, you got a wife and cats and everything.
Now there are tools that are available for a man
in a situation like you. I know this having had
to bounce back from some morthopedic surgeries. Uh, put sock
putter on hers and various hooks and uh and well
(02:44):
there's another thing. There's a what was that rope for?
I don't I need somebody? Oh that was part of
the sock putter on. Or I need somebody to shuffle
me into the shower, scrub my various parts, oh boy,
and then and then change my bandages, put on my clothes,
and then and then you know here it will sign
offing your internship paperwork.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wow wow, No thanks, I'd rather starve. I didn't say
it was paid. It's an unpaid in Just keep living
in this box. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The experience is your payment. Wow wow. Well, Michael, better
clear off the phone line. I know, I know, I know.
Maybe I should set up a special text line because
this text line is going to get so jammed with
applicants that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We won't be able to get to any news today.
Wow wow.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But yeah, it has been difficult to just function in
the basics of life after my motorcycle wreck. I will
not mention any more about that. Man is Ukraine in
bad shape? Talk about something that doesn't get any attention.
Between the Michael Cohen trial, which is stupid and getting
way too much attention, the Israel situation, which is not
stupid and getting a lot of attention for a good reason.
(03:56):
But Ukraine has just been pushed out of the news
cycle completely, and they are, according to a lot of
the experts, in the worst situation they've been since the
war started.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And that is saying something.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The inexplicable foot dragging of Congress for months and months,
even though there were vast majorities and everybody knew it
who wanted to fund the Ukraine has really taken a toll.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
They're hurting that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And you can go back to all the different times
that President Biden could have sent stuff faster but wouldn't
for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's escalatory.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Then you know, six months later, long pass when it
would have done the most good, he will send it history.
I don't know if history will pay any attention to
those decisions, but very frustrating. And then, yeah, the funding
thing that Congress didn't get to also very frustrating. But
it looks like Russia's gonna They're certainly going to keep
a big, chunky Ukraine at the least if they don't
(04:51):
end up taking over the whole damn country. Right now,
Putin's got to be thinking I might be able to
take the whole country. Actually, out about that that would happen.
I doubt that, but they might take significant chunks. What
an awful, awful development for the world to allow that
to happen, in my opinion, m God, wars of conquest
(05:11):
are now on.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Hey, China you can yeah, you wait us out, something
else comes along, we get distracted.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You can take whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So some of those African countries that got all the
minerals you need for making electric cars, or Taiwan obviously
in the computer chips, whoever you want to take, go
ahead and take it, because we know we no longer
stand up for the world order. Yeah, we could see
chaos and death on a scale we haven't seen in many,
many decades in Africa. Speaking of Africa, as various countries
aligned with China or Russia already they're already in bed
(05:44):
with them. Decide that, hey, that mineral rich valley over there,
it's right over there. Who says it's theirs? I say
it's ours. The decades of chaos are upon us. And
then to compare and contrast the two wars, which I
thought was interesting. I just saw this report from a
Richard Ingel on NBC News and he is talking about
how he's been in Gaza for all these years, and
(06:06):
how Hamas operates. Oh this this New York Times article
that's out today, it's getting so much attention that Hamas
has been running Gaza the way Stalin ran the Soviet Union,
or the way Mao ran China. I mean, it's an
incredibly oppressive They spy on everybody, if neighbors, turn in neighbors,
and if you get word that you said that, anybody
said anything bad about the government, which is Hamas, you
(06:28):
drug out of your home, that sort of thing. Hey,
you freaking moron college kids protesting at your universities. Why
don't you read the New York Times article about this,
you idiots? You exactly every principle they claimed a whole
dear Hamas despises every single one.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But they're so freaking stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's like I've said that whole victim, oppressor, oppressor, oppressed
a worldview of neo Marxism.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
If my dog has spoused it, I would hit him
with a rolled up newspaper. It's unbelievable to me that
Homo sapiens of any sort can embrace something a dopey.
They're not only not down with trans rites like you are.
You're not even let you whisper something that you're not
happy about anywhere in where they are.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You'll be drug out of your home and beaten.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Anyway, Richard Engel was talking about how Hamas right now
is nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
In the Rafa area.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They've gone into the tunnels and they are providing and
so the the Gozans are without because Hamas has been
administrating Gaza for so such a long time. They're the government,
so they administrate it in such a way within you know,
the things that governments do, mostly just dispersing the food
that the UN sends in because Hamas keeps everything that
(07:46):
that they want, and then they disperse them from the people.
But I was comparing that to Ukraine, where Ukraine in
a variety of other wars throughout world history, where people
will fight to the last man because that's your house
behind you, and you're not gonna let the evil country
that the evil group that just attacked you take your family.
(08:06):
You're gonna fight with your hands to the last man.
Hamas is not fighting to the last man to protect
the Palestinians that the college kids are in the in
the streets about Hamas is underground, letting the Palestinians starve,
die of dehydration and be bombed. Ye, they have They
(08:26):
have no DA It's fine, it's fine. We're here to
kill the Jews. They have no interest in protecting their
own people. So I just can't even imagine, except for
the whole Marxism thing, which is only the people at
the top, the idiot college kids were buying into this
idea that the poor Palestinians and in Hamas and wearing
the Hamas garb.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You're wearing Hamas garb?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
How crazy is that? How uninformed is that? Good Lord,
I'm embarrassed for you. Someday you'll realize how incredibly off
base you were. Yeah, I don't know what to do
about it. We allowed them to be not indoctrinated in
schools for a long time. Some of them just caught
(09:10):
the disease in college, but a lot of them have
been hearing versions of this stuff throughout their schooling because
of the nature of the public schools, the teachers' unions,
the teachers colleges. It's a disease within the body politic. Anyway,
we should start the show officially. We will have highlights
throughout the day. If any Cone cross examination comes out
(09:31):
as being juicy or exciting, it's not going to be
like Stormy Daniels though. I mean, we're not going to
get into condoms and sexual positions right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Like that's sexy.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
When you're talking about that context, it's disgusting. Please within
the bounds of marriage, loving couple only and again look
fornicating golfers and pornographers looking for an intern to change
my bandages and dress me. I'm Jack Armstrong East Joe
Getty on this It is Tuesday, May fourteenth. Your twenty
twenty four life will not be a bore in twenty
four we are armstrong in gas.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We approve of this program. Worst show open ever, my
bitter judgment Cisco home.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
All right, let's begin in the show officially according to
FCC rules of Regulations. Here we go leaping into action
at mark before to turn it around.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Look, you look at the Michigan survey for sixty five
percent of America. People think they're in good shape economic
and I think the nation's not in good shape, but
they're personally good shape. The pulling data has been wrong
all along.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did you just cite polling data? Then in the next
sentence say the polling data is all wrong. So that
clip was burbling back up again. So that's the one
sixteen minute interview he did with CNN last week in
which he told fifteen lies and uh with the big
New York Times poll coming out showing everybody just hating
(10:48):
the economy and blaming Joe Biden for it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Which polls all of them?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, him last week telling CNN no, no, no, no, people
are personally happy and the polls are wrong about them
thinking the economy is bad. Okay, all right, you stick
with that. You keep telling people they're wrong about what
they're feeling. Let's see how that works out. Stupid people.
I'll tell you what to think and how to feel.
I am the great Joe kef care.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
What care?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
How's that worked in your personal life?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
When you tell anybody that what they're feeling is wrong,
people don't usually react well.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
People don't react well to that. Yeah, no kidding. How
does mail bag look? It'll do it's it? Do the boxes?
Jen our standard? That's great inflation. I give it a
B minus. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He's watching this old Chris Rock routine the other day.
In one of his punchlines, was you low expectation, m efforts.
That's kind of what we are with the mail bag,
low expectations. It's okay, it's Tuesday quality.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
What do you want? It's good enough for a Tuesday.
It's on the way.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Our text line is four one five two nine five
k ftcar strong, Yo.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yo yo.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
There's a fair amount of news to cover today, as
always is there. We have to we don't. We don't
actually have to excellent. I mean, we really honestly do not. Well.
I lied, by the way. Mailbank's really good today. I've
just forgotten I got it organized a little earlier. Here's
your freedom of court the day. That was very Joe
(12:26):
bidenesk there. That was very slurreal attempt to enunciate more accurately.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
In the future. I think I may be coming down
with something stay from Oh not good or the VID.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I traveled over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
A lot of humans still like humans, so boy, it's
the VID's variation four seventy three.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Margaret Thatcher said this, we should learn the lesson that
as long as a free political system, a free society,
in a free economy, or maintained the ingenuity of mankind
is boundless.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's a great quote.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, I agree completely, But sometimes bad things happen, so
you have to put people like me in charge of
running everything, central planning everybody well, and not everybody ends
up with the same amount of stuff, And you got
to have everybody end up with the same amount of
stuff where it's by definition, by definition of bad system. Sure, sure,
I appreciate your sarcasm. Here's your mail bag? Drop us
(13:22):
a note. What's your mail bag? At Armstrong and Giddy
dot com, Bill says, I was going to introduce coworker
to your show via podcast while carpooling.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I pressed play and the first commercial.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Was like for the and then he has a lot
of words I can't say on the air, describing some
sort of personal.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Pleasurement device an add on our show.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, for some sort of personal massage device.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know those have gone mainstream.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Like I said a couple of months back, I was
in Target and I was surprised that there were vibrate
tours next to some other health things I was looking
for in the aisle. The other day, I was in
Target and I was using one Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Come on? Wow? Or something? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Moving along, anonymous rights, Dear Joe, it has said that
in the end days, the anti Christ will rise to
prominence before the battle of Armageddon. Now, for no parent reason,
Jerry Seinfeld seems to be everywhere coincidence. M Jerry Seinfeld
the anti Christ? Mmmm, Kramer, Satan Armageddon? Good luck, my friend,
(14:35):
Moving along, Chuck, Joe Geddy, do you still believe Biden
will not be the Democratic candidate?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And if not, what has changed your mind? Oh? Goodwe
good question. What is the answer to that? Chuck?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I would say, yeah, I still actually believe that.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Obviously, time is ticking.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The closer we get to the August Convention, the less
likely it becomes. But ye, I would still vote on
That's it's more and more long shot. But was Kamama
Harris's f bomb yesterday a sign that she is getting
set up for the job.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We'll discuss that coming up this lifetime. That's a good point.
Let's see what else.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh, on the topic of birth rates the declining world population,
some demographers believe we have already we humankind dipped below
the replacement birth rate globally speaking. Let's see, Hey, guys,
Matthew from Santa Paula, California. I think in the future
countries are going to start asking for their citizens back
from the United States. It's going to be talked to
(15:37):
the US is stealing their citizens to keep their our
population up and there's down. Yeah, they're probably gonna sue us,
Hey give us all our people back if indeed populations
are dropping junonymous rights. I think the people having less
kids will have another negative effect the whole population of
only children. My mom is an only child, and it
makes her a different person than my dad, who has siblings.
(15:59):
She's more self centered, doesn't have the negotiating and compromising ability.
She's great, but it is different. A whole population of
only children is scary to me. I hate to throw
any negative attributes to only children, but having a couple
of kids and being one of three kids myself, I
can't imagine how you wouldn't end up a certain way
(16:21):
if you don't have siblings treating you completely differently than
parents treat you. To say that that is a formative
part of your childhood is to call Mount Everest a hill.
I mean, that's an enormously important part of your development
as a child.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I would agree completely.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Let's see see busy moved from California to Tennessee. Very
highly faith based demographic. We've noticed young people's popping out,
young couple's popping out, kids like crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I think it is worldview.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Lifestyle expense is basically a cost benefit analysis, and the
disaster cultism, climate change, war payandemics that a lot of
people spend all of the time thinking about with that
sense of fear and dread, no greater power to set
them at ease. Of course they're not having children. Well,
let's you know, I'm sure that's part of it, but
that doesn't explain, you know, to sub Saharan Africa, there
(17:14):
are a lot of kids being born during the Great
Depression or various other really rough times in world history. Right,
Kamala Harris dropped an F bomb yesterday?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Why Armstrong and Getty. So I'm going to say something.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I want to know if it means anything to Michael, Joe,
Katie or Hansen dall right, and then I'll follow up
on it later. Skibbitty toilet, skibbety toilet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Does that mean anything to you?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Joe zero, Michael, No, Katie, Dope, Hanson No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I will explain that a little bit utterly mysticicide.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
If you were in front of most sixth grade classes,
they would be howling with laughter already. Wow, which is material, Yeah,
which is interesting about the modern world. But first this
Kamala Harris was speaking at some thing yesterday as too
much being made of this or not, I don't know
(18:27):
her dropping an F bomb. I'm trying to figure out
if people are reading too much into this now. I
remember when Joe and I are old enough to remember
when it was kind of a new thing when women
were becoming bosses, and it was pretty common. I remember
when you had your first woman boss and manager and
(18:48):
whatever building or whatever that they cussed a lot, and
I always felt like it was an attempt to show
I'm like a guy, which is not necessary. You don't
have to First of all, I'm not sure it makes sense.
And secondly, you don't have to be like a guy.
I have never to be to be ables, but you
don't have to swear to be like a guy either.
I've never walked a mile in their pumps, so I
(19:10):
hate to judge.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What would you agree that that seemed to be a thing.
Oh yeah, yeah, I have a memory that yet.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah yeah, And I still think it might be to
a certain extent. Anyway, people wondering if that maybe is
what Kamala Harris was doing yesterday as part of a
like really or was this an appeal to urban America,
the young black crowd that's no longer wanting to vote
for Biden.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't know. Let's listen to it and then we
can discuss.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
My mother would say to me, don't you ever let
anybody tell you who you are.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
You tell them who you are.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Don't ever carry as a personal burden your capacity to
do whatever you dream and aspire to do based on
other people's limited ability to see who can do what.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
This is.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Part of what's.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
In is that we have to know that sometimes people
will open the door for you and leave it open.
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
door down.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Excuse my language.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So is that a pre planned f bomb? How long
did that laughing go on? Too long?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's the worst part to me, that that's idiotic? So
pleased with herself laughing? So was that, as often can
happen with adults, you get you a little wound up,
and you you know, you use a word you don't
weren't intended to use, or was that a completely pre
planned attempt at something I would I would say, if anything,
just trying to appeal to young voters in general.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't know. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I didn't attribute much significance to it when I heard it.
I didn't need other than she's a drivel spouting moron.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And a lot of people get paid to assign too
much meaning to all these kinds of things. So what
they do for you got to churn out content right right,
right exactly. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not
sure what I think I more than a like appealing
to young voters or something. I could see it as
a possible Look, I'm like, I'm a leader, Look I
(21:23):
drop f bombs.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I could see it being that, yeah, you know, putting.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Aside her rambling nonsensical preamble to the punchline. It reminds
me I observed it was probably twenty years ago, as
my older daughter was listening to some of her favorite
pop music. This is when Pink was big and a
band called Evanescence she was into.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And I can't.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Remember long before skimmity toilet was a thing, right, but
I remember I became aware that for young women especially,
I think I called it empowerment rock or something like that.
It was just vaguely look at me, I'm strong, look
at me go lyrics all the time. I remember when
(22:08):
you used to do those lyrics. I always found it
very entertaining. Do some of those lyrics right now, off
the top of your head. Okay, I'm strong. I can't
be beat. No one's gonna stop me. There's no defeat.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I am me, I am me. I mean there's a
lot of it like that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And the commallest thing, if it were crafted by, say
a non moron, would fit real nicely into that, if
she'd let up to it with coherent sentences and then said,
some people will hold that door open for you, some
people will close it, So you got to kick that
effing door down. That's some good young woman empowerment stuff.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You need to kick that door down.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
So I think that's just what she's going for, the
cliches of you go girl. Okay, she's an idiot, so
they can craft a plan with the sophistication of d
Day and the cleverness of tongue too, and she's still
an idiot, So good luck with that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And drop an F bomb, a C bomb, an MF
and throw a B bomb in there.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
If you like, it's not going to do you any goods.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
I seize my language.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I say this all the time because I like reading
history and a lot of political history stuff like that,
and you don't find out what was happening for decades,
sometimes like fifty years before they release. You know, somebody
writes her memoir, they release stuff. I can't wait here.
What were the big time Democrats saying in phone calls
and emails over the weekend when that New York Times
(23:42):
seeing a poll hit. I mean, you know, some of
the most powerful Democrats in this country talked to each
other and said, Holy blanking blank, what are we going
to do? New York Times headline, Nevada newly Trump friendly
poses a challenge and a mystery for Biden week week
(24:04):
week into vad all of a sudden. So yeah, they've
got to be somewhere near panic.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
They're getting back to the emails saying, Joe, do you
still think Joe Biden's going to be the nominee?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I still don't think he is. That makes more.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
That makes sense, especially given the polling and his age.
But I just can't imagine the path where that doesn't happen.
I can't put.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He would have to really seriously falter, and the momentum
would build to the point that at the convention they
made the switch. But I can also see because remember,
and you're saying, he wants it, but they take it
away from him.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
He doesn't voluntarily give it up.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wow, he is a huge Oh yeah, of course, Yeah,
it'd be enormous turn of events. But he might have
to be talked into it. But we'll see, we'll see
how he ages. What we all need to remember because
the political parties are expert the best minds of our generation,
and a lot of money is spent in convincing us
(25:06):
all that R versus D is the great battle for
the you know, the universe, the hearts and minds of man,
and that we should all be wrapped up in it
all the time. And then every election is the most
important election of our lifetimes. Right. Well, if you're a
permanent fixture of the political class in Washington, D say
you're in power for a while, you're out of powerfall
you're in power for a while, you're out of power
(25:28):
for a while in a lot of ways it's easier
being out of power. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, in terms of fundraising,
and you don't have to take a responsibility for anything,
and you can just gripe all the time. Yeah, I
could easily easily. See if I'm like a big name,
big money Democratic functionary.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right now, I say, all right, look, we lose with Biden.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Trump is a loose cannon, and he's going to make
people pray for a Democrat, a moderate Democrat. Yeah, let's
go ahead, And yeah, exactly, he's a lame duck the
moment he's into the office. So let's go ahead and
take one for the team here, lose one to Trump,
and then physician ourselves for eight years afterward.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Everybody good, Yeah, we're good. Where are we going to lunch?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I mean, not only is that possible, I'd say it's
the most likely mindset At this point. I was telling
my son, who's fourteen, yesterday, you'll vote in your first
presidential election the next one after this one, and uh,
it's gonna be man, there's going to be as wide
open as any.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Have ever been. And did you teach him to pay
attention to down ticket races? No? I did not for
a bad.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Dad and a bad America. Uh, don't I have time
to talk about skimty toilet. I'll just touch on it.
Maybe I'll grab the clip from Saturday Night Live. So
my son had told me about this. He said, every
kid at school won't stop saying skimmy toilet. He told
me this, I don't know months ago, because they all
watch TikTok.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't let him watch TikTok and I don't let
him watch YouTube shorts.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So he wasn't in on it.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But all the kids say skimmy toilet all the time
and they all laugh. And he said, I just I
never know what anybody's talking about, and they're all laughing,
and it's just makes me.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Uncomfortable, which I can understand.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You mean, you know, that's kind of how we separate ourselves.
Are you part of the in crowd? Are you part
of the outcrowd? Or we're all laughing at a joke
that you don't get, so you're part of the outcrowd anyway.
So I didn't have any sense of how big skivvy
toilet was. And then Saturday Night Live had a sketch
this past episode whereas all bunch of teachers coming out,
the cast members coming out as teachers, saying, we just
(27:25):
like to announce at the end of the year, you won,
y'all won, you win, you beat us down. And they
went through all these different ways in which kids, you
can't read, you don't pay attention.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Something broke during COVID. We're never going to get it back.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
If I hear skimby toilet one more time, I'm gonna
kill myself. And oh my god, they actually mentioned Skivvy
toilet on Saturday Night Live, and so I was asking
Henry about it last night. We looked it up. The
short on YouTube. It's like five seconds long, and it's
a cartoon guy's head coming out of a toilet and
he just.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Says, skibbity, skimmity skimty. It's like five seconds song. It's nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
It's got a one hundred and seventy million views. One
hundred and seventy million.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Views, and that's a five second little cartoon. And that's
just the original.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And then there's myriad offshoots of it that have hundreds
of millions of views, also as meaningful as the first
one I just mentioned. Yeah, what was that one thing
we became aware of that fuzzy fuzzbear.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes exactly, say similar thing, are you fozzy fazz bear?
Right right? Similar sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And it's just the hot phrase on the playground and
kids mention it and you're either in the end crowd
or you're not. And Henry's never is because again, no TikTok,
no YouTube shorts, you mean, miss out on that stuff.
That's where it comes from. Yes, uh, have you watched
it there, Katie, there's not much to it.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm looking at it right now. It's terrifying. Ah, yeah,
it is a little terrib It's.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
One of those weird, uncanny valley things where it's a
it's kind of like a human face.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But it Oh, I don't yeah, I don't like this
at all.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, Henry had trouble getting to sleep last night thinking
about skivty toilet. But it's it's I don't know, I
don't I don't know what to make of it. I
don't know if it's meaningful or not. That cultural low
browness has reached a new low.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I mean, it's not anything.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It's not just like you know, rock and roll music
is a step down from classical music or jazz or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I mean, it's just it's nothing. It's just there's nothing there.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's a bread sandwich as far as cultural moments, Yet
it is three seconds worth of amusement. Yet it is
the thing you hang on to as a I don't
even know. I don't even know what to make of it.
I think it's significant, but I can't quite.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Wrap my head around it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Not just particularly skimvty toilet, but just a phenomenon of
TikTok things catching on and I don't know, Wow, Katie
sent me the picture, hang on, ologize and advance.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Oh givity, givty's givity. But again, it's nothing, there's nothing.
You're not missing anything when you watch it, and you
think this is enough for every kid to mention it
in school and it to become a thing on Saturday
Night Live. Yeah, no, I just I don't know what
to do with the modern world. And I hate to
sound like, you know, old guy doesn't get kids today,
But something has changed, something fundamental has changed.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I just don't know what it is. Yet, you know,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think your uh, your mystification is profound in that
I'm trying to come up with a take on this.
I'm trying to even comprehend it, and I'm struggling to
actually get the appeal. I don't get the humor. I mean,
so a guy says skivity. Skivity is his weird surreal head.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Comes out of the toilet. Okay, So what else you
got for me?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
So Henry brought up my It's not like I'm a
bit or sophisticated old guy. I mean, I remember laughing,
so I had tears coming out of my eyes and
various bugs, Buddy cartoons, Monty Python, whatever. I remember the
childish pleasures of humor. But there was some there there. Yes,
Henry brought up my twelve year old brought up because
I told him this story before about how the FBI
(31:15):
was looking into the lyrics of the song Louie Louie
because you can't understand what they're saying, and kids loved
the song, and the FBI was convinced there was some
sort of secret communist message or sexual message or something
going on that was subversive, and so the FBI. The
Rock and Roll Museum in Seattle has a great display
on this. It's fantastic if you ever if you ever
(31:36):
get a chance to see it, and I'm glad we're
on in Seattle again so we can say that. But
Henry said, why did the FBI look into the lyrics
of Louie Louis? But they're not interested in why this
is captivating children. I don't know if the FBI looked
it needs to look into us, but we ought to
try to figure out what's going on here. Yeah, they
actually had a great display for a while. What is
(31:57):
it that the actual name of the Museum of Popular
Culture or something that? But it on the the great
comic book panic of the fifties. I guess it was
when I mean the highest authorities were denouncing comic books
and the FBI was looking into it, and just but
why is nobody worried about skimmity toilet catching on with kids?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's bothering me. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
We got Katie's headlines on the way. I'd like to
know your thoughts. Four one k ftc.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Armstrong and I say communism is better songs all about
communism or sum So you're seeing it's to the communists.
(32:53):
What's America? I heard it? Capitalism is theft?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Uh Trump with a brilliant new angle for evading the
judges gag order.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
We'll talk about that next hour.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But first, right now, let's figure out who's reporting what
it's lead story with Katie Green, Katie.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Thank you guys from NBC News.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Michael Cohen returns to witness stand for second day of
testimony in Trump hush money trial.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah. So here's my favorite two headlines yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
New York Post headline, witless stand, Cohen bombs on stand,
offers no evidence. New York Times headline, Cohen's testimony money
lands blow after blow on Trump. All right, so I
get the feeling from watching the cable news. I could
go on there with no law degree or whatever, which
channel am I on and lay out what happened without
having anyone watched the testimony and serve the viewers the
(33:46):
way they want. I guess what would you like me
to say? Say that it was mostly helpful for Trump?
But Cohen got a couple of good points in all right,
you got it? Make it up color, we know, color
of my numbers.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's just ridiculous, Katie. Sorry, what else you got.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
From the Associated press?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Biden hiking tariffs on Chinese evs, solar cells, steel, and aluminum,
adding tensions with Beijing.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
This is a trade war.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Biden's trade war very different from Trump's trade war.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
This one's fine. According to the mainstream media.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
From USA Today, University of North Carolina a dump divisive
DEI and spend funds on public safety.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna go big into this later on, the
University of North Carolina has disbanded all their DEI programs.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Allelujah, way to go.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Unc Okay, there's backstory on this one. Do you guys
know about the portal in DC that's allowing people to
see people in Dublin, Ireland livetime?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No, I've seen that's cool. Well, this is from the
New York Post.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
OnlyFans model flashes New York City Dublin portal as organizers
try in vain to stop gross behavior.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Sam will have to explain this to me. I don't
know what to do. Okay, this is really cool. Yeah,
we'll explain it.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And finally, the Babylon b College Students annount announce indefinite
hunger strike for Palestine between ten am and noon and
also between one pm and five pm every day except
for some light snacking.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, they have been doing the not eating between breakfast
and dinner. As Jonah Goldberg calls it, skipping lunch for Palestine.
They're desperate, need to be important. They don't see that
that's fine, that's always existed. Don't choose as your hero
(35:34):
freaking Homas.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, you idiots, Yeah, your stupid children. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Al Qaeda in different headgear, as David French in The
New York Times has called them, you're rooting for al
Qaeda or isis?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You crazy people? Armstrong and getdy
Thanks broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Getty and no Key Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Tool live from the studio c See Senior. It's a
dimly lit room where deep with from the bowels of
the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, and today ladies and
germs were under the tutelage.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Of our general manager. Forget about it.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Michael Cohen again cross examination today, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I didn't see nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No, you're here to testify. Oh yeah, that's right. I
saw something.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's why I'm wearing my America hat. It's an important
day for America. It could be a turning point turning points.
I hope not.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I hope America doesn't turn on Michael Cohen's testimony in
this stupid, stupid trial.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That'd be rough.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You watch cable TV, you might think it is, as
you know, such a day him doing excited, excited about
the day, big finish down come.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
On, hidnack note.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So I've got an idea. I need help. I need
somebody to help me get dressed in the morning. Since
I had since I had my motorcycle wreck. I've had
a very hard hard time getting dressed, and uh, I
don't want to have to pay anybody, So I wonder
if we could make it an internship. I just need
somebody to come to my house. This is what you
learn about radio by dressing an old man in the morning. Wow,
(01:56):
could be your entry into the business, the hot, the rising,
more and more promising everyday radio business. What am I
learning about radio by putting your socks on? Shut up,
put my socks on. I'm trying to listen to the news.
I need someone to dress me in the morning because
I'm winning a very very difficult and to change my bandages,
which is another fun part.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, Oh, just let people know that are listening. That's
how I started out. Joe had an injury.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Exactly, Michael changed his bandages and dressed him. And that's
how you ended up with this lifetime career. And that
you know, you got a wife and cats and everything.
Now there are tools that are available for a man
in a situation like you. I know this having had
to bounce back from some morthopedic surgeries. Uh, put sock
putter on hers and various hooks and uh and well
(02:44):
there's another thing. There's a what was that rope for?
I don't I need somebody? Oh that was part of
the sock putter on. Or I need somebody to shuffle
me into the shower, scrub my various parts, oh boy,
and then and then change my bandages, put on my clothes,
and then and then you know here it will sign
offing your internship paperwork.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wow wow, No thanks, I'd rather starve. I didn't say
it was paid. It's an unpaid in Just keep living
in this box. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The experience is your payment. Wow wow. Well, Michael, better
clear off the phone line. I know, I know, I know.
Maybe I should set up a special text line because
this text line is going to get so jammed with
applicants that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We won't be able to get to any news today.
Wow wow.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
But yeah, it has been difficult to just function in
the basics of life after my motorcycle wreck. I will
not mention any more about that. Man is Ukraine in
bad shape? Talk about something that doesn't get any attention.
Between the Michael Cohen trial, which is stupid and getting
way too much attention, the Israel situation, which is not
stupid and getting a lot of attention for a good reason.
(03:56):
But Ukraine has just been pushed out of the news
cycle completely, and they are, according to a lot of
the experts, in the worst situation they've been since the
war started.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And that is saying something.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The inexplicable foot dragging of Congress for months and months,
even though there were vast majorities and everybody knew it
who wanted to fund the Ukraine has really taken a toll.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
They're hurting that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And you can go back to all the different times
that President Biden could have sent stuff faster but wouldn't
for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's escalatory.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Then you know, six months later, long pass when it
would have done the most good, he will send it history.
I don't know if history will pay any attention to
those decisions, but very frustrating. And then, yeah, the funding
thing that Congress didn't get to also very frustrating. But
it looks like Russia's gonna They're certainly going to keep
a big, chunky Ukraine at the least if they don't
(04:51):
end up taking over the whole damn country. Right now,
Putin's got to be thinking I might be able to
take the whole country. Actually, out about that that would happen.
I doubt that, but they might take significant chunks. What
an awful, awful development for the world to allow that
to happen, in my opinion, m God, wars of conquest
(05:11):
are now on.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Hey, China you can yeah, you wait us out, something
else comes along, we get distracted.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You can take whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So some of those African countries that got all the
minerals you need for making electric cars, or Taiwan obviously
in the computer chips, whoever you want to take, go
ahead and take it, because we know we no longer
stand up for the world order. Yeah, we could see
chaos and death on a scale we haven't seen in many,
many decades in Africa. Speaking of Africa, as various countries
aligned with China or Russia already they're already in bed
(05:44):
with them. Decide that, hey, that mineral rich valley over there,
it's right over there. Who says it's theirs? I say
it's ours. The decades of chaos are upon us. And
then to compare and contrast the two wars, which I
thought was interesting. I just saw this report from a
Richard Ingel on NBC News and he is talking about
how he's been in Gaza for all these years, and
(06:06):
how Hamas operates. Oh this this New York Times article
that's out today, it's getting so much attention that Hamas
has been running Gaza the way Stalin ran the Soviet Union,
or the way Mao ran China. I mean, it's an
incredibly oppressive They spy on everybody, if neighbors, turn in neighbors,
and if you get word that you said that, anybody
said anything bad about the government, which is Hamas, you
(06:28):
drug out of your home, that sort of thing. Hey,
you freaking moron college kids protesting at your universities. Why
don't you read the New York Times article about this,
you idiots? You exactly every principle they claimed a whole
dear Hamas despises every single one.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But they're so freaking stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's like I've said that whole victim, oppressor, oppressor, oppressed
a worldview of neo Marxism.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
If my dog has spoused it, I would hit him
with a rolled up newspaper. It's unbelievable to me that
Homo sapiens of any sort can embrace something a dopey.
They're not only not down with trans rites like you are.
You're not even let you whisper something that you're not
happy about anywhere in where they are.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You'll be drug out of your home and beaten.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Anyway, Richard Engel was talking about how Hamas right now
is nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
In the Rafa area.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They've gone into the tunnels and they are providing and
so the the Gozans are without because Hamas has been
administrating Gaza for so such a long time. They're the government,
so they administrate it in such a way within you know,
the things that governments do, mostly just dispersing the food
that the UN sends in because Hamas keeps everything that
(07:46):
that they want, and then they disperse them from the people.
But I was comparing that to Ukraine, where Ukraine in
a variety of other wars throughout world history, where people
will fight to the last man because that's your house
behind you, and you're not gonna let the evil country
that the evil group that just attacked you take your family.
(08:06):
You're gonna fight with your hands to the last man.
Hamas is not fighting to the last man to protect
the Palestinians that the college kids are in the in
the streets about Hamas is underground, letting the Palestinians starve,
die of dehydration and be bombed. Ye, they have They
(08:26):
have no DA It's fine, it's fine. We're here to
kill the Jews. They have no interest in protecting their
own people. So I just can't even imagine, except for
the whole Marxism thing, which is only the people at
the top, the idiot college kids were buying into this
idea that the poor Palestinians and in Hamas and wearing
the Hamas garb.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You're wearing Hamas garb?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
How crazy is that? How uninformed is that? Good Lord,
I'm embarrassed for you. Someday you'll realize how incredibly off
base you were. Yeah, I don't know what to do
about it. We allowed them to be not indoctrinated in
schools for a long time. Some of them just caught
(09:10):
the disease in college, but a lot of them have
been hearing versions of this stuff throughout their schooling because
of the nature of the public schools, the teachers' unions,
the teachers colleges. It's a disease within the body politic. Anyway,
we should start the show officially. We will have highlights
throughout the day. If any Cone cross examination comes out
(09:31):
as being juicy or exciting, it's not going to be
like Stormy Daniels though. I mean, we're not going to
get into condoms and sexual positions right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Like that's sexy.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
When you're talking about that context, it's disgusting. Please within
the bounds of marriage, loving couple only and again look
fornicating golfers and pornographers looking for an intern to change
my bandages and dress me. I'm Jack Armstrong East Joe
Getty on this It is Tuesday, May fourteenth. Your twenty
twenty four life will not be a bore in twenty
four we are armstrong in gas.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We approve of this program. Worst show open ever, my
bitter judgment Cisco home.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
All right, let's begin in the show officially according to
FCC rules of Regulations. Here we go leaping into action
at mark before to turn it around.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Look, you look at the Michigan survey for sixty five
percent of America. People think they're in good shape economic
and I think the nation's not in good shape, but
they're personally good shape. The pulling data has been wrong
all along.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did you just cite polling data? Then in the next
sentence say the polling data is all wrong. So that
clip was burbling back up again. So that's the one
sixteen minute interview he did with CNN last week in
which he told fifteen lies and uh with the big
New York Times poll coming out showing everybody just hating
(10:48):
the economy and blaming Joe Biden for it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Which polls all of them?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, him last week telling CNN no, no, no, no, people
are personally happy and the polls are wrong about them
thinking the economy is bad. Okay, all right, you stick
with that. You keep telling people they're wrong about what
they're feeling. Let's see how that works out. Stupid people.
I'll tell you what to think and how to feel.
I am the great Joe kef care.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
What care?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
How's that worked in your personal life?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
When you tell anybody that what they're feeling is wrong,
people don't usually react well.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
People don't react well to that. Yeah, no kidding. How
does mail bag look? It'll do it's it? Do the boxes?
Jen our standard? That's great inflation. I give it a
B minus. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He's watching this old Chris Rock routine the other day.
In one of his punchlines, was you low expectation, m efforts.
That's kind of what we are with the mail bag,
low expectations. It's okay, it's Tuesday quality.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
What do you want? It's good enough for a Tuesday.
It's on the way.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Our text line is four one five two nine five
k ftcar strong, Yo.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yo yo.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
There's a fair amount of news to cover today, as
always is there. We have to we don't. We don't
actually have to excellent. I mean, we really honestly do not. Well.
I lied, by the way. Mailbank's really good today. I've
just forgotten I got it organized a little earlier. Here's
your freedom of court the day. That was very Joe
(12:26):
bidenesk there. That was very slurreal attempt to enunciate more accurately.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
In the future. I think I may be coming down
with something stay from Oh not good or the VID.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I traveled over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
A lot of humans still like humans, so boy, it's
the VID's variation four seventy three.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Margaret Thatcher said this, we should learn the lesson that
as long as a free political system, a free society,
in a free economy, or maintained the ingenuity of mankind
is boundless.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's a great quote.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, I agree completely, But sometimes bad things happen, so
you have to put people like me in charge of
running everything, central planning everybody well, and not everybody ends
up with the same amount of stuff, And you got
to have everybody end up with the same amount of
stuff where it's by definition, by definition of bad system. Sure, sure,
I appreciate your sarcasm. Here's your mail bag? Drop us
(13:22):
a note. What's your mail bag? At Armstrong and Giddy
dot com, Bill says, I was going to introduce coworker
to your show via podcast while carpooling.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I pressed play and the first commercial.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Was like for the and then he has a lot
of words I can't say on the air, describing some
sort of personal.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Pleasurement device an add on our show.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, for some sort of personal massage device.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know those have gone mainstream.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Like I said a couple of months back, I was
in Target and I was surprised that there were vibrate
tours next to some other health things I was looking
for in the aisle. The other day, I was in
Target and I was using one Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Come on? Wow? Or something? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Moving along, anonymous rights, Dear Joe, it has said that
in the end days, the anti Christ will rise to
prominence before the battle of Armageddon. Now, for no parent reason,
Jerry Seinfeld seems to be everywhere coincidence. M Jerry Seinfeld
the anti Christ? Mmmm, Kramer, Satan Armageddon? Good luck, my friend,
(14:35):
Moving along, Chuck, Joe Geddy, do you still believe Biden
will not be the Democratic candidate?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And if not, what has changed your mind? Oh? Goodwe
good question. What is the answer to that? Chuck?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I would say, yeah, I still actually believe that.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Obviously, time is ticking.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The closer we get to the August Convention, the less
likely it becomes. But ye, I would still vote on
That's it's more and more long shot. But was Kamama
Harris's f bomb yesterday a sign that she is getting
set up for the job.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We'll discuss that coming up this lifetime. That's a good point.
Let's see what else.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh, on the topic of birth rates the declining world population,
some demographers believe we have already we humankind dipped below
the replacement birth rate globally speaking. Let's see, Hey, guys,
Matthew from Santa Paula, California. I think in the future
countries are going to start asking for their citizens back
from the United States. It's going to be talked to
(15:37):
the US is stealing their citizens to keep their our
population up and there's down. Yeah, they're probably gonna sue us,
Hey give us all our people back if indeed populations
are dropping junonymous rights. I think the people having less
kids will have another negative effect the whole population of
only children. My mom is an only child, and it
makes her a different person than my dad, who has siblings.
(15:59):
She's more self centered, doesn't have the negotiating and compromising ability.
She's great, but it is different. A whole population of
only children is scary to me. I hate to throw
any negative attributes to only children, but having a couple
of kids and being one of three kids myself, I
can't imagine how you wouldn't end up a certain way
(16:21):
if you don't have siblings treating you completely differently than
parents treat you. To say that that is a formative
part of your childhood is to call Mount Everest a hill.
I mean, that's an enormously important part of your development
as a child.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I would agree completely.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Let's see see busy moved from California to Tennessee. Very
highly faith based demographic. We've noticed young people's popping out,
young couple's popping out, kids like crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I think it is worldview.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Lifestyle expense is basically a cost benefit analysis, and the
disaster cultism, climate change, war payandemics that a lot of
people spend all of the time thinking about with that
sense of fear and dread, no greater power to set
them at ease. Of course they're not having children. Well,
let's you know, I'm sure that's part of it, but
that doesn't explain, you know, to sub Saharan Africa, there
(17:14):
are a lot of kids being born during the Great
Depression or various other really rough times in world history. Right,
Kamala Harris dropped an F bomb yesterday?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Why Armstrong and Getty. So I'm going to say something.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I want to know if it means anything to Michael, Joe,
Katie or Hansen dall right, and then I'll follow up
on it later. Skibbitty toilet, skibbety toilet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Does that mean anything to you?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Joe zero, Michael, No, Katie, Dope, Hanson No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I will explain that a little bit utterly mysticicide.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
If you were in front of most sixth grade classes,
they would be howling with laughter already. Wow, which is material, Yeah,
which is interesting about the modern world. But first this
Kamala Harris was speaking at some thing yesterday as too
much being made of this or not, I don't know
(18:27):
her dropping an F bomb. I'm trying to figure out
if people are reading too much into this now. I
remember when Joe and I are old enough to remember
when it was kind of a new thing when women
were becoming bosses, and it was pretty common. I remember
when you had your first woman boss and manager and
(18:48):
whatever building or whatever that they cussed a lot, and
I always felt like it was an attempt to show
I'm like a guy, which is not necessary. You don't
have to First of all, I'm not sure it makes sense.
And secondly, you don't have to be like a guy.
I have never to be to be ables, but you
don't have to swear to be like a guy either.
I've never walked a mile in their pumps, so I
(19:10):
hate to judge.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What would you agree that that seemed to be a thing.
Oh yeah, yeah, I have a memory that yet.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah yeah, And I still think it might be to
a certain extent. Anyway, people wondering if that maybe is
what Kamala Harris was doing yesterday as part of a
like really or was this an appeal to urban America,
the young black crowd that's no longer wanting to vote
for Biden.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't know. Let's listen to it and then we
can discuss.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
My mother would say to me, don't you ever let
anybody tell you who you are.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
You tell them who you are.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Don't ever carry as a personal burden your capacity to
do whatever you dream and aspire to do based on
other people's limited ability to see who can do what.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
This is.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Part of what's.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
In is that we have to know that sometimes people
will open the door for you and leave it open.
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
door down.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Excuse my language.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So is that a pre planned f bomb? How long
did that laughing go on? Too long?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's the worst part to me, that that's idiotic? So
pleased with herself laughing? So was that, as often can
happen with adults, you get you a little wound up,
and you you know, you use a word you don't
weren't intended to use, or was that a completely pre
planned attempt at something I would I would say, if anything,
just trying to appeal to young voters in general.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't know. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I didn't attribute much significance to it when I heard it.
I didn't need other than she's a drivel spouting moron.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And a lot of people get paid to assign too
much meaning to all these kinds of things. So what
they do for you got to churn out content right right,
right exactly. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not
sure what I think I more than a like appealing
to young voters or something. I could see it as
a possible Look, I'm like, I'm a leader, Look I
(21:23):
drop f bombs.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I could see it being that, yeah, you know, putting.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Aside her rambling nonsensical preamble to the punchline. It reminds
me I observed it was probably twenty years ago, as
my older daughter was listening to some of her favorite
pop music. This is when Pink was big and a
band called Evanescence she was into.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And I can't.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Remember long before skimmity toilet was a thing, right, but
I remember I became aware that for young women especially,
I think I called it empowerment rock or something like that.
It was just vaguely look at me, I'm strong, look
at me go lyrics all the time. I remember when
(22:08):
you used to do those lyrics. I always found it
very entertaining. Do some of those lyrics right now, off
the top of your head. Okay, I'm strong. I can't
be beat. No one's gonna stop me. There's no defeat.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I am me, I am me. I mean there's a
lot of it like that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And the commallest thing, if it were crafted by, say
a non moron, would fit real nicely into that, if
she'd let up to it with coherent sentences and then said,
some people will hold that door open for you, some
people will close it, So you got to kick that
effing door down. That's some good young woman empowerment stuff.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You need to kick that door down.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
So I think that's just what she's going for, the
cliches of you go girl. Okay, she's an idiot, so
they can craft a plan with the sophistication of d
Day and the cleverness of tongue too, and she's still
an idiot, So good luck with that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And drop an F bomb, a C bomb, an MF
and throw a B bomb in there.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
If you like, it's not going to do you any goods.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
I seize my language.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I say this all the time because I like reading
history and a lot of political history stuff like that,
and you don't find out what was happening for decades,
sometimes like fifty years before they release. You know, somebody
writes her memoir, they release stuff. I can't wait here.
What were the big time Democrats saying in phone calls
and emails over the weekend when that New York Times
(23:42):
seeing a poll hit. I mean, you know, some of
the most powerful Democrats in this country talked to each
other and said, Holy blanking blank, what are we going
to do? New York Times headline, Nevada newly Trump friendly
poses a challenge and a mystery for Biden week week
(24:04):
week into vad all of a sudden. So yeah, they've
got to be somewhere near panic.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
They're getting back to the emails saying, Joe, do you
still think Joe Biden's going to be the nominee?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I still don't think he is. That makes more.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
That makes sense, especially given the polling and his age.
But I just can't imagine the path where that doesn't happen.
I can't put.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He would have to really seriously falter, and the momentum
would build to the point that at the convention they
made the switch. But I can also see because remember,
and you're saying, he wants it, but they take it
away from him.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
He doesn't voluntarily give it up.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wow, he is a huge Oh yeah, of course, Yeah,
it'd be enormous turn of events. But he might have
to be talked into it. But we'll see, we'll see
how he ages. What we all need to remember because
the political parties are expert the best minds of our generation,
and a lot of money is spent in convincing us
(25:06):
all that R versus D is the great battle for
the you know, the universe, the hearts and minds of man,
and that we should all be wrapped up in it
all the time. And then every election is the most
important election of our lifetimes. Right. Well, if you're a
permanent fixture of the political class in Washington, D say
you're in power for a while, you're out of powerfall
you're in power for a while, you're out of power
(25:28):
for a while in a lot of ways it's easier
being out of power. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, in terms of fundraising,
and you don't have to take a responsibility for anything,
and you can just gripe all the time. Yeah, I
could easily easily. See if I'm like a big name,
big money Democratic functionary.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right now, I say, all right, look, we lose with Biden.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Trump is a loose cannon, and he's going to make
people pray for a Democrat, a moderate Democrat. Yeah, let's
go ahead, And yeah, exactly, he's a lame duck the
moment he's into the office. So let's go ahead and
take one for the team here, lose one to Trump,
and then physician ourselves for eight years afterward.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Everybody good, Yeah, we're good. Where are we going to lunch?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I mean, not only is that possible, I'd say it's
the most likely mindset At this point. I was telling
my son, who's fourteen, yesterday, you'll vote in your first
presidential election the next one after this one, and uh,
it's gonna be man, there's going to be as wide
open as any.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Have ever been. And did you teach him to pay
attention to down ticket races? No? I did not for
a bad.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Dad and a bad America. Uh, don't I have time
to talk about skimty toilet. I'll just touch on it.
Maybe I'll grab the clip from Saturday Night Live. So
my son had told me about this. He said, every
kid at school won't stop saying skimmy toilet. He told
me this, I don't know months ago, because they all
watch TikTok.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't let him watch TikTok and I don't let
him watch YouTube shorts.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So he wasn't in on it.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But all the kids say skimmy toilet all the time
and they all laugh. And he said, I just I
never know what anybody's talking about, and they're all laughing,
and it's just makes me.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Uncomfortable, which I can understand.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You mean, you know, that's kind of how we separate ourselves.
Are you part of the in crowd? Are you part
of the outcrowd? Or we're all laughing at a joke
that you don't get, so you're part of the outcrowd anyway.
So I didn't have any sense of how big skivvy
toilet was. And then Saturday Night Live had a sketch
this past episode whereas all bunch of teachers coming out,
the cast members coming out as teachers, saying, we just
(27:25):
like to announce at the end of the year, you won,
y'all won, you win, you beat us down. And they
went through all these different ways in which kids, you
can't read, you don't pay attention.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Something broke during COVID. We're never going to get it back.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
If I hear skimby toilet one more time, I'm gonna
kill myself. And oh my god, they actually mentioned Skivvy
toilet on Saturday Night Live, and so I was asking
Henry about it last night. We looked it up. The
short on YouTube. It's like five seconds long, and it's
a cartoon guy's head coming out of a toilet and
he just.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Says, skibbity, skimmity skimty. It's like five seconds song. It's nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
It's got a one hundred and seventy million views. One
hundred and seventy million.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Views, and that's a five second little cartoon. And that's
just the original.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And then there's myriad offshoots of it that have hundreds
of millions of views, also as meaningful as the first
one I just mentioned. Yeah, what was that one thing
we became aware of that fuzzy fuzzbear.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes exactly, say similar thing, are you fozzy fazz bear?
Right right? Similar sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And it's just the hot phrase on the playground and
kids mention it and you're either in the end crowd
or you're not. And Henry's never is because again, no TikTok,
no YouTube shorts, you mean, miss out on that stuff.
That's where it comes from. Yes, uh, have you watched
it there, Katie, there's not much to it.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm looking at it right now. It's terrifying. Ah, yeah,
it is a little terrib It's.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
One of those weird, uncanny valley things where it's a
it's kind of like a human face.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But it Oh, I don't yeah, I don't like this
at all.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, Henry had trouble getting to sleep last night thinking
about skivty toilet. But it's it's I don't know, I
don't I don't know what to make of it. I
don't know if it's meaningful or not. That cultural low
browness has reached a new low.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I mean, it's not anything.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It's not just like you know, rock and roll music
is a step down from classical music or jazz or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I mean, it's just it's nothing. It's just there's nothing there.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's a bread sandwich as far as cultural moments, Yet
it is three seconds worth of amusement. Yet it is
the thing you hang on to as a I don't
even know. I don't even know what to make of it.
I think it's significant, but I can't quite.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Wrap my head around it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Not just particularly skimvty toilet, but just a phenomenon of
TikTok things catching on and I don't know, Wow, Katie
sent me the picture, hang on, ologize and advance.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Oh givity, givty's givity. But again, it's nothing, there's nothing.
You're not missing anything when you watch it, and you
think this is enough for every kid to mention it
in school and it to become a thing on Saturday
Night Live. Yeah, no, I just I don't know what
to do with the modern world. And I hate to
sound like, you know, old guy doesn't get kids today,
But something has changed, something fundamental has changed.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I just don't know what it is. Yet, you know,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think your uh, your mystification is profound in that
I'm trying to come up with a take on this.
I'm trying to even comprehend it, and I'm struggling to
actually get the appeal. I don't get the humor. I mean,
so a guy says skivity. Skivity is his weird surreal head.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Comes out of the toilet. Okay, So what else you
got for me?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
So Henry brought up my It's not like I'm a
bit or sophisticated old guy. I mean, I remember laughing,
so I had tears coming out of my eyes and
various bugs, Buddy cartoons, Monty Python, whatever. I remember the
childish pleasures of humor. But there was some there there. Yes,
Henry brought up my twelve year old brought up because
I told him this story before about how the FBI
(31:15):
was looking into the lyrics of the song Louie Louie
because you can't understand what they're saying, and kids loved
the song, and the FBI was convinced there was some
sort of secret communist message or sexual message or something
going on that was subversive, and so the FBI. The
Rock and Roll Museum in Seattle has a great display
on this. It's fantastic if you ever if you ever
(31:36):
get a chance to see it, and I'm glad we're
on in Seattle again so we can say that. But
Henry said, why did the FBI look into the lyrics
of Louie Louis? But they're not interested in why this
is captivating children. I don't know if the FBI looked
it needs to look into us, but we ought to
try to figure out what's going on here. Yeah, they
actually had a great display for a while. What is
(31:57):
it that the actual name of the Museum of Popular
Culture or something that? But it on the the great
comic book panic of the fifties. I guess it was
when I mean the highest authorities were denouncing comic books
and the FBI was looking into it, and just but
why is nobody worried about skimmity toilet catching on with kids?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's bothering me. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
We got Katie's headlines on the way. I'd like to
know your thoughts. Four one k ftc.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Armstrong and I say communism is better songs all about
communism or sum So you're seeing it's to the communists.
(32:53):
What's America? I heard it? Capitalism is theft?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Uh Trump with a brilliant new angle for evading the
judges gag order.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
We'll talk about that next hour.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But first, right now, let's figure out who's reporting what
it's lead story with Katie Green, Katie.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Thank you guys from NBC News.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Michael Cohen returns to witness stand for second day of
testimony in Trump hush money trial.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah. So here's my favorite two headlines yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
New York Post headline, witless stand, Cohen bombs on stand,
offers no evidence. New York Times headline, Cohen's testimony money
lands blow after blow on Trump. All right, so I
get the feeling from watching the cable news. I could
go on there with no law degree or whatever, which
channel am I on and lay out what happened without
having anyone watched the testimony and serve the viewers the
(33:46):
way they want. I guess what would you like me
to say? Say that it was mostly helpful for Trump?
But Cohen got a couple of good points in all right,
you got it? Make it up color, we know, color
of my numbers.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's just ridiculous, Katie. Sorry, what else you got.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
From the Associated press?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Biden hiking tariffs on Chinese evs, solar cells, steel, and aluminum,
adding tensions with Beijing.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
This is a trade war.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Biden's trade war very different from Trump's trade war.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
This one's fine. According to the mainstream media.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
From USA Today, University of North Carolina a dump divisive
DEI and spend funds on public safety.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna go big into this later on, the
University of North Carolina has disbanded all their DEI programs.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Allelujah, way to go.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Unc Okay, there's backstory on this one. Do you guys
know about the portal in DC that's allowing people to
see people in Dublin, Ireland livetime?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
No, I've seen that's cool. Well, this is from the
New York Post.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
OnlyFans model flashes New York City Dublin portal as organizers
try in vain to stop gross behavior.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Sam will have to explain this to me. I don't
know what to do. Okay, this is really cool. Yeah,
we'll explain it.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And finally, the Babylon b College Students annount announce indefinite
hunger strike for Palestine between ten am and noon and
also between one pm and five pm every day except
for some light snacking.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, they have been doing the not eating between breakfast
and dinner. As Jonah Goldberg calls it, skipping lunch for Palestine.
They're desperate, need to be important. They don't see that
that's fine, that's always existed. Don't choose as your hero
(35:34):
freaking Homas.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, you idiots, Yeah, your stupid children. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Al Qaeda in different headgear, as David French in The
New York Times has called them, you're rooting for al
Qaeda or isis?
