Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. We
got on the topic of the perfect day last hour
based on some surveys and science and that sort of stuff.
What people say is a perfect day, And we got
(00:31):
a whole bunch of texts on that. I'll try to
compile those and maybe we can get into a conversation
about that. But I've been thinking about my perfect data.
It would include family, no doubt. It would also include
some decent alone time, reading, practicing a musical instrument, exercising.
Those three things always happen, have to happen for me
(00:53):
to consider it a good day. But I don't think
it would include any TV time whatsoever. Oh no, no,
not at all. I have to think about that. Uh
what would you eat on your perfect day? Yeah, that's funny,
because I'm not a food person. I don't care. I wouldn't.
(01:13):
I would never even cross my mind on my perfect
day what to put on the list of my God,
I'd have all three meals and snacks planned out.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wine.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
See that is so interesting to me. I remember reading
I remember reading in the newspaper one time. It was
a USA Today, and it had some chart about people
who plan what they're gonna eat on vacation, and that
struck me. You know, where they're gonna eat whatever, And
it struck me as like, really people do that. It
never crossed my mind. Never think about where you're gonna
eat in vacation. Just you get hungry and you eat
it the place next to you. It's just I don't
(01:44):
care who cares.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So you don't like research where to get a good
car pie to your cot no anything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But I mean, I realized I've realized since then. I
didn't know till that actually that I'm an outlier. But
I've realized since that I'm an outlier. But that's a
good example. Planning the perfect day wouldn't if you gave
me ten criteria. It would have never crossed my mind
to put what I eat on there as part of
my perfect day.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
My mind, I would definitely play golf, there would be
something musical, one hundred percent breakfast with my wife.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah. Got to say, you know, if I mean, if
I'm gonna be honest about a perfect day, there is
going to be sex involved. I mean, it'd be lying
if I said it wasn't, so wouldn't hurt. I don't
think a lot of people are clutching their pearls at that.
I'm pretty sure lots.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Of said shocking thought, but seems so crass. But you
presented it in that gentlemanly way. It could have been
more gentlemanly. But it's a little okay.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh for instance, Yeah, there you go. You were doing
so well.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm going to seize the reins of the show here.
Briefly before clips of the week, we got this note
from David who heard the uh the stuff about dying
Easter eggs, an amusing bit of an intentional comedy which
we'll play for.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You a little later on because we like it so much.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But he said, there's a breed of chicken called easter
eggers that lay eggs with the eggs already dyed pink, light, green,
and blue. My wife and I have three, as well
as another breed called an olive egger. Her eggs are
army green, and sure enough, he attaches a picture of
one of the green eggs and the aforementioned hen.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's interesting. I as a guy who probably knows more
about having chickens and laying eggs than the average person
listening right now. Not an expert, but I've had We've
had quite a few different kinds of chickens over the years,
laying eggs. I didn't know that existed.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Nor I Yeah, yeah, I've never owned a damn chicken
in my life. I've dined on them several times, but.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I've owned them. I've fed them, I've cleaned up after them.
I've shot them when necessary when they committed a terrible crime.
Since or rooster attacked Sam and I shot it immediately.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Hey Jack, where are you going with that gun in
your hand?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That rooster dam caught him trying to claw my son.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Anyway, speaking of livestock, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take
a fu look back of the week. It was it's
cow clips of the week. Life moves pretty fast.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
What a wonderful let's got a space. You are officially
an astronaut. How do you feel? I still can't accept
that word. I will never be the same.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
This experience is right a second to being a mom.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The moon was so beautiful and that was like I
felt like that was a special gift, just for me.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But the best part was Katie saying what a wonderful
world she did.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, I kind of consider myself the number one
female pleasure in device on Earth.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It really is, my boy, how's miss master Bruce.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You might have seen the social trends classic egg decorating
and dying, marshmallows and potatoes.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Then we have the cues young men criminized by sissy porn.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Together with Governor Newsom, I'm filing our fourteenth lawsuit against
the president.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Hell in the hell are we sitting by and allowing
this to happen? And at least on the left, what
they say is that they eat their.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Own oligauky oligauki an oligachic society. I sure don't look
like it today.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You seem to have a real hatred of Vladimir Putin
the route Hared.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If no progress is being made, they we're just gonna move.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
On Kimar, bring on Garcia.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The Maryland man, the Maryland man, That Maryland man, a
Marylyn man.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Let this innocent man walk out. I don't understand what
the confusionists. He was a member of MS thirteen.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
There is no, Maryland Father, do you plan to return him?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The questions for Busters? How can I the model of
terroristy today? United States? Why did you crow fast food
on the side of my test? You through mashed potato?
Are here? You drive in, you drive out. You have
jump cars, You drive in and you drive out. That's
what people do that they're driveway you more idiot. That
(06:53):
just not only qualifies for a strong candidate for Clip
of the Year, that's in the top five for of
my life. It's that I would agree.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh I wish I could somehow assemble all of those
my favorite clips for every year of the show. I mean,
just have them if I'm ever feeling down hearing that guy.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Howling, that's what you do with a driveway. I mean, please,
we've all been that exasperated when somebody, somebody says or
does something stupid. But often we're so exasperated we can't
get the words out the way we want. And he did,
which is right quite the trick. You drive out, you
have jump cars, and that's what people do. Veway boy.
(07:47):
There are a couple of things from there. I wanted
to mention we should play that o g lesbian woman again.
You're in my mind, I was thinking of the very
same thing. We should play the whole thing. That was
really interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, and we uncovered a bit more too, oh, really
absolutely terrific. Yeah yeah, And we could combine that with
the high school girl who is saying there's a man
in my locker room who watches us undressed because he
claims he's a woman. And she's told, hey, wrap it up,
we don't need your testimony here.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
These people are sick man sick. Yeah, i'd say deluded, twisted.
So we have more from the original, the og lesbian
talking about modern society and how she thinks that the
LGB needs to break from the rest of the letters. Yes,
which would be a great benefit to society all the
(08:42):
way thing around. And I think I'm not in the lesbian, gay,
bisexual community, but I think it'd be a great benefit
to them to break for the rest of the letters.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think it's it's been a terrible uh,
you know, unholy and un wanted in the case of
a lot of people, like fusion of very different things.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So we've got that, We've got some great suggestions. If
you can't afford eggs, what to do for Easter dyeing,
and oh, a bunch of people who texted in what
their perfect day is all on the way are from.
So last hour we got into the topic of this
scientific study, this is what's the perfect day? And maybe
(09:25):
we shall recap that real quick coming up. But then
we threw it out to you it's a perfect day,
and the responses have been damn interesting. And also a
number of people pointing out that extroverts run the world
and they're not all of us are like them. So
that's its own interesting topic. So we'll get to that
next segment. True enough.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
First to set up this topic, we bring you Celeste,
who is a seventeen year old California high school student.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Thirteen.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Recently, I went into the women's locker room to change
for practice, where I saw and in my row a
biological male watching not only myself but the other young women.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Unjuss, I'm not sad he is not.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Changing in our locker room because he's in his truck clothes, dressed,
and ready to go to practice at the beginning of
the day. Therefore, there's absolutely no reason for him to
be in any locker room, let alone the women's. It
looks like yourself made me and my peers feel like
our own comfort was invalid even though archives he was,
and still it's being completely violated. The individuals identifies as
(10:25):
female has x y chromosomes.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Big, this makes him a male.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay, please wrap it up.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Yeah, I just want to ask one about us. We
can all sit around and allow our rights to be
given up to cater to an individual that is a
man who watches want an undress and a stripping away
female opportunity. I hope you put effort into the restoration
of our school safety.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Thank you so that that particular dude, because if you're
a legit trans person, you would want to make it
as comfortable for those girls as possible. I mean, with
all things just so twisted, if you fact that poor
girl has to be there begging the adults to keep
boys out of her locker room, I mean that's unbelievable.
(11:10):
And the guy, this particular guy's clearly a pervo. I
mean he's taking the opportunity to watch young women undress. Because,
like I said, if you, unless you're like some sort
of crazy activist your life, let me trust you would
go out of your way to try to make it
comfortable for everybody and not cause a scene.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You're right, You're one hundred percent right. But I won't
even go there. No males in the locker room, period,
whether they're a pervo or not. Was Leah Thomas the
college swimmer of pervo? I don't know, I don't care.
Get him out of the women's locker room anyway. Here's
a British gal who's uh, well, she kind of explains
what she is, who has an interesting point of view.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
This is a message from an og lesbian. The acronym
lgbtq PAS is not a representation of a united community
for what was once a legitimate civil rights movement. Gay
rights has been hijacked quite literally by the TQ plus
and used as a trojan horse to mainstream their degeneracy.
(12:14):
First we have the transcut who want to sterilize children
with puberty blockers. Then we have the cues young men
feminized by sissyporn furries and pups who fetishize bestiality, all
accepted and protected by the rainbow umbrella that magically transforms
(12:34):
all scrutiny into bigotree. But the thing that requires the
most scrutiny is the unspecified plus. At the end a
placeholder for what's coming next.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
All scrutiny is portrayed as big a tree. I thought
that was good, But.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And you think she's suggesting what with the what's coming next?
She is happy to explain maps or.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
My attracted people, a euphemism that is already being used
to describe pedophiles who are waiting in the wings for
their time to shine. Because the LGBTQ plus sexual psyop
is not about promoting tolerance of diversity. It's about grooming
(13:20):
society to accept depravity, and as an l I renounce
all association with it and the LGBs who are accessories
to the fact. And I urge you to do the
same and join the movement for lgb without the TQ
(13:40):
plus because we need to divorce people and we needed
stat well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I would like to think that if you try to
add what do they call them, minor attractive maps, minor
attractive people. I would like to think that if you
try to get that mainstreamed people will have drawed the
line short of that. But I would have thought that
about dudes in girls' high school locker rooms too, and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Or dudes whooping out, whooping up on girls on a
sports field, I would have said, that's never gonna happen,
that's absurd. In fact, ninety eight percent of America would
have said that's absurd. The other two percent would have
thought you were kidding. So yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
The Marxist, the neo Marxist critical radical theory people, the
way they got the playing field ready in the education
system and then just took this stuff big and just
cowed anybody who resisted into submission by ruining them, convincing
everybody else that it no, it was not legitimate scrutinys.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's bigotry, as you now put it. When the history's
finally written of this with a little distance of this era.
So we lived through this era, we all know where
we were all scared to say all kinds of things
that we now opened say about race, sexuality, a variety
of things. I mean, because they they did pretty good
(15:07):
job of everybody scared with the microaggressions and everything like that,
and even though we didn't agree with it, we thought
they kind of meant it. But between the George Floyd
riots in the middle of COVID where it's like, oh, okay,
so you don't believe in this COVID stuff or what
happened on Columbia with the Jewish kids and all the
(15:27):
other campuses, and we realized, Okay, this is all crap.
This is all crap that from the left. They did
so much damage to what you were just talking about,
that structure they had built themselves. They tore down their
own structure. When we realized, Oh, that whole microaggression thing
is complete crap. You don't mean it at all.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, they're just trying to bully you into silence. They
don't want diversity, they want one ideology. They call it
diversity to shut you up.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Right, We all thought you were actually so precious with
these microaggression and stuff like that, that were kind of building
society to make sure. But no, it's all crap. Okay, fine,
well then screw you. You can't have dudes in women's
locker rooms. Let's get rid of dudes and women's sports,
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
As you've pointed out, you've got some of them who
know exactly what they're doing, and some of them have
just been brainwashed and go along with it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Remember referring to the microaggression crowd as snowflakes. They were
not snowflakes. They were gun wielding aggressors. They were there
to take over the institutions by calling you a racist,
And of course nobody is who's a racist should be
in charge of anything, So now we're in charge. It's
(16:38):
an instrument of capture.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, pretty interesting. Also interesting the responses we got on
what is your perfect day? We'll have to recap real quickly.
What science says or a study says your perfect day is.
It wouldn't be my perfect day. Way too much time
with other people. Again, another example of extroverts being in
control of everything and making introverts feel like weirdos.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But depressing us. What about all rights exactly? More on
that in a second statued.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Are strong and getty.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
A dozen eggs are going for more than six dollars
according to the national average. You might have seen the
social trends plastic egg decorating and dying, marshmallows, and potatoes.
All it takes is a little food dye you probably
have in the back of your pantry from last.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Year, and egg shaped potatoes.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Both options are a fraction of the cost of a
dozen eggs.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I think the dye potatoes because we can't afford eggs
is the reason our grandparents left the old country. You
know what you want, you know what you can do
if you can't buy eggs. Haggs and suggestions. A good
suggestion just tell your kids you hid the eggs really
really well this year, egg shaped potatoes, while you are
really up against hard times. And one email or suggested
(18:00):
we're being insensitive because of our financial comfort life. No, no,
I don't believe it. I've been I've been pretty broke.
The difference between what eggs used to cost and what
they call I mean costs six months ago and what
the cost now is a couple of bucks. A couple
of bucks is the difference between you. I mean, you're really, really,
really really struggling. I just I just don't believe. There's
a lot of God bless you.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I hope you're your lot improves, but uh, egg shaped potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Really some people have no sense of humor. It's fine.
I pity them. Oh, I guess doctor oz is being
sworn in as whatever he is now when they said
that's historic.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
He is now the highest in US history, the highest
ranking quack in American history.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I was actually wondering when they put his hand in
the Bible and said do you swear to uphold the Constitution?
Did he say? Quack? Quack? We'll take that as a guess.
There's doctor Oz. We had a personal run in with him,
So I have a personal against himself, that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
And he's a quack and he's a quack. Yes, he
was a hell of a heart surgeon, no doubt. But
then he started pitching fake stuff anyway back to you
and got rich off of it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah. So what was it? A scientific study describing the
perfect day? Is that what you had for stat Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Essentially, it was a huge survey of people about what
they did with their time and how they rated their days,
and they came up with this formula. Six hours with family,
two hours with friends, an hour and a half of
extra socializing, two hours of exercise, one hour of eating
and drinking, less than six hours of work, one hour
of screen time, and a fifteen minute commute, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Center I'll run through some of the texts we got.
We throw it out to you, what your perfect day is?
The perfect day goes like this. It's Friday, early morning,
you make a call into work. Cough cough, you go
out to hook up your boat and you head down
to the river for some good time fishing. There's a
number of people who said the day fishing is their
perfect day. Can I come the perfect day you described
(20:03):
sounds like retired people playing pickleball. Yeah, that's pretty close.
Uh wow, nailed it. I think what you described is
the perfect day for extroverts. I need way more alone
time than that. Yeah, my perfect day, no way. It
includes six hours with family, an hour and a half
with friends, and two hours two hours with friends and
then more socializing. No, it's freaking way not even close.
(20:27):
And we got a bunch of texts like that. And
that's as an introvert, it's always bothered me that extroverts
get to write the rules and everything like that because
they're extroverts, so they like getting into conversations and having
those roles. But none of your introverts friends want that
much interaction with other humans.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And again, this is not like designed outward by science.
It's a giant study. It's a poll essentially, so and yeah,
there are more extroverts in the world than introverts, so yeah,
it reflects an extroverted population.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, an extra an introvert friend of mine texted me
that would be a hell day for them. Yeah, way
too much socializing and hanging out with other people. I mean,
if I would feel guilty if I didn't spend time
with my kids on my perfect day, But if I
had to spend the whole day by myself, going to
(21:20):
a coffee shop, reading books, playing my guitar, It's not
like at the end of the day, I'd be miserable, right,
I'd be pretty freaking happy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I was thinking about it a little bit and realized
just to have like, ah perfect day is kind of silly, because, yeah,
unless you ran yourself to complete exhaustion, I would love
to spend time with all three of my kids who
are grown, which we did a couple of weeks ago
and it was wonderful. And I want to play golf
with my buddies. Well, I want to go out for
(21:50):
dinner and drinks with Judy. I mean, just my big birthday.
A while back, I went to LA and I spent
the whole day by myself and it was awesome, absolutely awesome.
But I spend lots of time with my kids, so
I don't have to one day away from them.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I don't have to feel guilty, but I don't think
John here from Reno, My perfect day is just being
with my wife. That was very nice, beautifully. My perfect
day is doing none of those things except for work
and extending that to ten hours and listening to Armstrong
and Getty. I don't know what he does for a living,
but he really enjoys this job. Some people really like working.
They really really like working. And thank you for listening.
(22:30):
Winning Giants baseball game followed by excellent evening of live
music and dancing, no drinking. That's a pretty good day.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Wow, you had me until you were dancing. I mean
that sounded great until we were dancing. Why didn't I
just sit here and drink?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Will you dance? Person? It reminds me we left a
restaurant the other day and me and both the boys
and we're walking by this like wine bar sort of place,
and they had a little live music. They got like
I get and guy playing the guitar and his wife
singing or something like that, and there were people sitting
there drinking. So this is like six o'clock on a Friday,
eight and aneebriation's starting to set in. Anyway, there's one
(23:08):
like very typical sort of wine drinking wife like age
fifty five, dancing by herself in front of the music.
And I could see her husband right behind her. He's
just sitting there with his glass of wine. And I
explained to my kids. I told him. I said, that
woman wants nothing more in the world than for her
husband to dance with her, and he should be dancing
(23:30):
with her, even if he hates it. Even if he
hates it, he should be out there dancing with her.
You know what. She's happy right now, and so is he.
Leave mind your own business. I just told my kids,
I said, if you're ever in that situation, even if
you don't want to do it, you should be dancing
with her because that's what she wants to do. Your
answer is pretty good too. They're both happy. Nne Ya.
(23:57):
I don't understand this one. Maybe I missed something. Perfect
day punching a volcano into submission? What is that thing?
We know what that is? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
No, it's funny on its face, but what the hell
do you What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Sir or madam? That perfect day study might be why
your blue collar guys working on the deck were so
happy Joe told that story earlier in the show. In
the Trades, you spend eight hours doing physical work with
a group of people that are typically you're friends with.
We tend to have fun and joke around while it worked.
Then we go home and have a drink while doing
family time before bed. That's pretty good day.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's funny. We were talking to
I was talking about the contractor general contractors who oversee
and everything were having done, and I was asking him
questions about how this works and how that fits into
that and stuff like that, and he was just so
into it.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And he said, this is the fun stuff. This is
so cool building stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
He said, Now, the billing and the paperwork and the
permits and the taxes not so much. But when we
get to actually build stuff. Oh, I couldn't have loved
his job more. Right, we got several more on the whole.
That's way too much of an extrovert day for me.
I'm an introvert. I would prefer to be like this
person talking about riding their horse alone or whatever. Yeah, hey,
(25:14):
back to the job thing, just real briefly. He remember
how several years in a row we would do this.
The best jobs report would come out, and it was
always an actuary that was the best job, Like an
insurance actuary. You sit in a cubicle doing spreadsheets, but
(25:35):
it pays pretty well and you're safe and you don't
have to be outdoors.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And those studies always emphasize climate controlled comfort above anything,
as if nobody actually wants to work outside. I have
known so many people in my life who would die
if they had to be inside working. And you know,
days that are two hot or too cold or too
rainy are way better than to work inside. But a
(26:01):
lot of the you know, academic types who put together
these lists can imagine working outside. Uh. And one more,
I read this one last because this person ruins it
for everyone else. They might be sincere, but still my
perfect day is anyone where I make a difference in
someone's life. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, you're better than me, yes, I'm probably, I don't know,
taller than you. So we have something going for us.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Right, I mean you, good for you? You probably mean it,
But that's just off putting. You've made our lives worse.
How does that feel you? It make you feel? Huh?
Everybody listening? Actually, many thousands of people you hide their
lives worse by saying that, because now they think, oh,
(26:50):
I was thinking about going fishing and having sex and
you said different.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
From Saint Francis of Assi listening anyway, But yeah, thanks
for the note.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You've made everybody's life worse. So now you've had a
bad day. I hope we'll finish strong next throwing out
the money changers or something today on Good Friday. How
you doing? Ah good, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I was just thinking I'd almost missed this story that
I'm so glad I came across. I was thinking earlier
between that which I have to read, I should read
and I want to read, I would need roughly thirty
seven hour days for the next right fifty weeks. Oh,
(27:43):
I wish I could get to instill that in my kids.
My oldest particularly just has no interest to reading and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I said, I keep telling the man, if I
could do anything today, I would read all day long.
I go into a bookstore, there's like, there's so many
books I want to read in there. It drives me
crazy that I'll ever get to them. All.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, I know, I have stacks of I finally dove
back into the cane mutiny after a couple of day break.
I was just too busy reading work stuff and oh
I love that book so much. Anyway, so this is
the good news I almost missed. I just saw the headline.
The Texas House passed a bill that will bring school
choice to the nation's most populous red state. We were
railing at length earlier as we are wont to do
(28:21):
about how perverse and ineffective our education system has become
in the United States. K through PhD just a miserable,
miserable failure. Anyway, It's a win for Governor Greg Abbot,
who championed the bill and supported primary challenges against Republican
legislators who opposed school choice last year, and for the President. Actually,
(28:43):
you worked the phone with legislators in the hours before
the vote was called.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Donald J. Was standing up big for school choice in Texas.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
The program, which will be capped at a billion dollars
in its first year of implementation, is designed to send
money directly to families via education savings accounts. Money can
be used for private school tuition, homeschool tools, and curriculum,
and virtual learning programs. Democrats in their allies in the teachers'
unions complain that the program's cost could explode. Hilarious about
(29:12):
face from the top interest group for greater state and
local spending, especially on education. If families and students choose
to use the funds instead of attending public schools, that
means they think they'll be better off outside the public
education monopoly, and once they leave, legislators can cut public
school spending to assuage the Teachers' union's spending concerns.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
The people who are in I know one guy in particular,
I'm thinking of people who are work in public schools.
They definitely don't have the attitude they should have. Their
attitude should be we don't care where you get your education.
We just want to make sure kids get a good education,
and we're here for if you want to go to
the public school run. They definitely do not have that attitude. Wow, yeah,
(29:54):
on good point. It's a no, you got to do
it here and anything else is a threat to us,
and we'll do any thing we can to try to
keep that from being a viable option.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And the idea that we even contemplate the well being
of children is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, so clearly true.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So good for Texas Arizona's doing some pretty exciting things
in school choice too. Let's keep watching these laboratories of democracy,
and I'm certainly rooting for it to be successful. I mean, obviously,
if there were government schools that were solid and educated
the kids and didn't attempt to indoctrinate them into radical theories,
(30:35):
which is just astonishing to me, that would be great. Sure,
but that's not the situation, not even close. One thing
we probably won't get to is but I'll say this
for Monday is a great, a little kind of mini
write up in the National Review. I'll just read you
at the beginning of it. Having been soundly defeated in
(30:58):
the court of public opinion, the from opponents of gender
affirming care that's in quotes for kids have taken their
efforts underground. Healthcare providers are now concealing their mutilation to
children when applying to have the procedures covered by insurers. So,
rather than admit to performing a double mestectomy on a
teen girl for purely cosmetic reasons, the responsible physician will
(31:21):
file to have the procedure covered as a medically necessary
breast reduction.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Wow. Any doctor that would do that is insane, Actually, insane. Yeah,
Ethan Ham.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You remember that surgeon who was prosecuted by the Biden
Department of Justice for blowing the whistle on gender transition
stuff going on a Texas children's hospital in open violation
of Texas's laws. By the way, he recently testified before
the House Judiciary Committee and explained how they campaign for
Southern equality. An LGBTQ minus plus over the power of
(31:57):
three group trains doctors to seal their efforts.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
That is brutal, Yeah, it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Sorry, I didn't mean to end on a negative note
or an anger inducing note. A most respectful happy Easter
weekend to all of our friends of the Christian faith.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I'm trying to come up with something good Friday
ish or Easter ish I'm going to do with the boys.
So I got to do something to feel good about myself.
My sudden goes to Christian privates. They do plenty of stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
speaking of books, I want to read.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
When I was in that crazy bookstore I described to
you in North Carolina, as was Yeah, I was around Asheville.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I bought like a thousand.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Page history of Christianity and I really need to dig
into that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Maybe I'll just started to get the hooks in me.
Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Here's your host for final thoughts on Good Friday, It's
Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Final thought from everybody on the coupe. To wrap up
the day, there is Michaelangelower, Technical director. Michael Well, I'm
gonna spend this weekend just finding any round objects I
can and putting food coloring on it, and so I
don't have to spend any money on eggs, potatoes, radishes,
whatever's handy.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Katie Greener esteemed a muse woman. As a final thought,
Katie I opened up a poll on my Twitter saying
peeps are a a sophisticated delight in b trash majority
seventy thirty trash. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, whenever I find myself in agreement with the majority,
I immediately reassess my opinion. Fools Jack final thought for
us man, the.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Whole period sure goes by fast. When your kids are
small enough, you get to do the Easter bunny thing
and hide the eggs and all the stuff. That was fun,
But it's over. It's a lot less work, but not
quite his magical, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
My final thought I've changed at the last second. I've
scoured the New Testament stemmed a stern and found zero
mentions of magical bunnies that delivers. It's an outrage, it's irreligious,
it is shocking.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
It is one of the odder things we've got going
on in culture, but straight out of paganism. I understand.
And it's fun sure, yeah, and it's fine. It's funny.
I grew up as a church going kid and we
did Easter with the bunny and the eggs too, and
that like didn't confuse me. I didn't stay in there.
(34:26):
Ownd wait a second, I.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Just like, so we did the Sunrise service and everything
in had an Easter. ACoM Yeah, Armstrong and Getty repic.
I'm another grueling four hour worthday. So many people thinks,
so little time. Good Armstrong and Giddy dot com for
the hotlings Katie's Corner. Pick up some swag for your
favorite ang fan.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
They'll love it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Maybe it's you yourself. If there's something you see over
the weekend we ought to be talking about, send it
along mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
So many big stories out there will be following next week.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
See then, God bless America, Armstrong and Getty is an
unpredictable beast, and.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
There's nothing wrong with you for being like this. I
was wondering you know what you felt about that? Whatever
you say that in child, listen.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Let's go one final message, perhaps a delicious marshmallow peep. Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I like that total voice, like I'm not being reverenced
toward the Lord and Savior. If I don't like peeps,
that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Have a great Friday, you, Mother, Armstrong and Gaddy,
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. We
got on the topic of the perfect day last hour
based on some surveys and science and that sort of stuff.
What people say is a perfect day, And we got
(00:31):
a whole bunch of texts on that. I'll try to
compile those and maybe we can get into a conversation
about that. But I've been thinking about my perfect data.
It would include family, no doubt. It would also include
some decent alone time, reading, practicing a musical instrument, exercising.
Those three things always happen, have to happen for me
(00:53):
to consider it a good day. But I don't think
it would include any TV time whatsoever. Oh no, no,
not at all. I have to think about that. Uh
what would you eat on your perfect day? Yeah, that's funny,
because I'm not a food person. I don't care. I wouldn't.
(01:13):
I would never even cross my mind on my perfect
day what to put on the list of my God,
I'd have all three meals and snacks planned out.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wine.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
See that is so interesting to me. I remember reading
I remember reading in the newspaper one time. It was
a USA Today, and it had some chart about people
who plan what they're gonna eat on vacation, and that
struck me. You know, where they're gonna eat whatever, And
it struck me as like, really people do that. It
never crossed my mind. Never think about where you're gonna
eat in vacation. Just you get hungry and you eat
it the place next to you. It's just I don't
(01:44):
care who cares.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So you don't like research where to get a good
car pie to your cot no anything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But I mean, I realized I've realized since then. I
didn't know till that actually that I'm an outlier. But
I've realized since that I'm an outlier. But that's a
good example. Planning the perfect day wouldn't if you gave
me ten criteria. It would have never crossed my mind
to put what I eat on there as part of
my perfect day.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
My mind, I would definitely play golf, there would be
something musical, one hundred percent breakfast with my wife.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah. Got to say, you know, if I mean, if
I'm gonna be honest about a perfect day, there is
going to be sex involved. I mean, it'd be lying
if I said it wasn't, so wouldn't hurt. I don't
think a lot of people are clutching their pearls at that.
I'm pretty sure lots.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Of said shocking thought, but seems so crass. But you
presented it in that gentlemanly way. It could have been
more gentlemanly. But it's a little okay.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh for instance, Yeah, there you go. You were doing
so well.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm going to seize the reins of the show here.
Briefly before clips of the week, we got this note
from David who heard the uh the stuff about dying
Easter eggs, an amusing bit of an intentional comedy which
we'll play for.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You a little later on because we like it so much.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But he said, there's a breed of chicken called easter
eggers that lay eggs with the eggs already dyed pink, light, green,
and blue. My wife and I have three, as well
as another breed called an olive egger. Her eggs are
army green, and sure enough, he attaches a picture of
one of the green eggs and the aforementioned hen.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's interesting. I as a guy who probably knows more
about having chickens and laying eggs than the average person
listening right now. Not an expert, but I've had We've
had quite a few different kinds of chickens over the years,
laying eggs. I didn't know that existed.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Nor I Yeah, yeah, I've never owned a damn chicken
in my life. I've dined on them several times, but.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I've owned them. I've fed them, I've cleaned up after them.
I've shot them when necessary when they committed a terrible crime.
Since or rooster attacked Sam and I shot it immediately.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Hey Jack, where are you going with that gun in
your hand?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That rooster dam caught him trying to claw my son.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Anyway, speaking of livestock, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take
a fu look back of the week. It was it's
cow clips of the week. Life moves pretty fast.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
What a wonderful let's got a space. You are officially
an astronaut. How do you feel? I still can't accept
that word. I will never be the same.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
This experience is right a second to being a mom.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The moon was so beautiful and that was like I
felt like that was a special gift, just for me.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But the best part was Katie saying what a wonderful
world she did.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, I kind of consider myself the number one
female pleasure in device on Earth.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It really is, my boy, how's miss master Bruce.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You might have seen the social trends classic egg decorating
and dying, marshmallows and potatoes.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Then we have the cues young men criminized by sissy porn.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Together with Governor Newsom, I'm filing our fourteenth lawsuit against
the president.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Hell in the hell are we sitting by and allowing
this to happen? And at least on the left, what
they say is that they eat their.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Own oligauky oligauki an oligachic society. I sure don't look
like it today.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You seem to have a real hatred of Vladimir Putin
the route Hared.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If no progress is being made, they we're just gonna move.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
On Kimar, bring on Garcia.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The Maryland man, the Maryland man, That Maryland man, a
Marylyn man.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Let this innocent man walk out. I don't understand what
the confusionists. He was a member of MS thirteen.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
There is no, Maryland Father, do you plan to return him?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The questions for Busters? How can I the model of
terroristy today? United States? Why did you crow fast food
on the side of my test? You through mashed potato?
Are here? You drive in, you drive out. You have
jump cars, You drive in and you drive out. That's
what people do that they're driveway you more idiot. That
(06:53):
just not only qualifies for a strong candidate for Clip
of the Year, that's in the top five for of
my life. It's that I would agree.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh I wish I could somehow assemble all of those
my favorite clips for every year of the show. I mean,
just have them if I'm ever feeling down hearing that guy.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Howling, that's what you do with a driveway. I mean, please,
we've all been that exasperated when somebody, somebody says or
does something stupid. But often we're so exasperated we can't
get the words out the way we want. And he did,
which is right quite the trick. You drive out, you
have jump cars, and that's what people do. Veway boy.
(07:47):
There are a couple of things from there. I wanted
to mention we should play that o g lesbian woman again.
You're in my mind, I was thinking of the very
same thing. We should play the whole thing. That was
really interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, and we uncovered a bit more too, oh, really
absolutely terrific. Yeah yeah, And we could combine that with
the high school girl who is saying there's a man
in my locker room who watches us undressed because he
claims he's a woman. And she's told, hey, wrap it up,
we don't need your testimony here.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
These people are sick man sick. Yeah, i'd say deluded, twisted.
So we have more from the original, the og lesbian
talking about modern society and how she thinks that the
LGB needs to break from the rest of the letters. Yes,
which would be a great benefit to society all the
(08:42):
way thing around. And I think I'm not in the lesbian, gay,
bisexual community, but I think it'd be a great benefit
to them to break for the rest of the letters.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think it's it's been a terrible uh,
you know, unholy and un wanted in the case of
a lot of people, like fusion of very different things.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So we've got that, We've got some great suggestions. If
you can't afford eggs, what to do for Easter dyeing,
and oh, a bunch of people who texted in what
their perfect day is all on the way are from.
So last hour we got into the topic of this
scientific study, this is what's the perfect day? And maybe
(09:25):
we shall recap that real quick coming up. But then
we threw it out to you it's a perfect day,
and the responses have been damn interesting. And also a
number of people pointing out that extroverts run the world
and they're not all of us are like them. So
that's its own interesting topic. So we'll get to that
next segment. True enough.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
First to set up this topic, we bring you Celeste,
who is a seventeen year old California high school student.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Thirteen.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Recently, I went into the women's locker room to change
for practice, where I saw and in my row a
biological male watching not only myself but the other young women.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Unjuss, I'm not sad he is not.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Changing in our locker room because he's in his truck clothes, dressed,
and ready to go to practice at the beginning of
the day. Therefore, there's absolutely no reason for him to
be in any locker room, let alone the women's. It
looks like yourself made me and my peers feel like
our own comfort was invalid even though archives he was,
and still it's being completely violated. The individuals identifies as
(10:25):
female has x y chromosomes.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Big, this makes him a male.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay, please wrap it up.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Yeah, I just want to ask one about us. We
can all sit around and allow our rights to be
given up to cater to an individual that is a
man who watches want an undress and a stripping away
female opportunity. I hope you put effort into the restoration
of our school safety.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Thank you so that that particular dude, because if you're
a legit trans person, you would want to make it
as comfortable for those girls as possible. I mean, with
all things just so twisted, if you fact that poor
girl has to be there begging the adults to keep
boys out of her locker room, I mean that's unbelievable.
(11:10):
And the guy, this particular guy's clearly a pervo. I
mean he's taking the opportunity to watch young women undress. Because,
like I said, if you, unless you're like some sort
of crazy activist your life, let me trust you would
go out of your way to try to make it
comfortable for everybody and not cause a scene.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You're right, You're one hundred percent right. But I won't
even go there. No males in the locker room, period,
whether they're a pervo or not. Was Leah Thomas the
college swimmer of pervo? I don't know, I don't care.
Get him out of the women's locker room anyway. Here's
a British gal who's uh, well, she kind of explains
what she is, who has an interesting point of view.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
This is a message from an og lesbian. The acronym
lgbtq PAS is not a representation of a united community
for what was once a legitimate civil rights movement. Gay
rights has been hijacked quite literally by the TQ plus
and used as a trojan horse to mainstream their degeneracy.
(12:14):
First we have the transcut who want to sterilize children
with puberty blockers. Then we have the cues young men
feminized by sissyporn furries and pups who fetishize bestiality, all
accepted and protected by the rainbow umbrella that magically transforms
(12:34):
all scrutiny into bigotree. But the thing that requires the
most scrutiny is the unspecified plus. At the end a
placeholder for what's coming next.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
All scrutiny is portrayed as big a tree. I thought
that was good, But.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And you think she's suggesting what with the what's coming next?
She is happy to explain maps or.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
My attracted people, a euphemism that is already being used
to describe pedophiles who are waiting in the wings for
their time to shine. Because the LGBTQ plus sexual psyop
is not about promoting tolerance of diversity. It's about grooming
(13:20):
society to accept depravity, and as an l I renounce
all association with it and the LGBs who are accessories
to the fact. And I urge you to do the
same and join the movement for lgb without the TQ
(13:40):
plus because we need to divorce people and we needed
stat well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I would like to think that if you try to
add what do they call them, minor attractive maps, minor
attractive people. I would like to think that if you
try to get that mainstreamed people will have drawed the
line short of that. But I would have thought that
about dudes in girls' high school locker rooms too, and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Or dudes whooping out, whooping up on girls on a
sports field, I would have said, that's never gonna happen,
that's absurd. In fact, ninety eight percent of America would
have said that's absurd. The other two percent would have
thought you were kidding. So yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
The Marxist, the neo Marxist critical radical theory people, the
way they got the playing field ready in the education
system and then just took this stuff big and just
cowed anybody who resisted into submission by ruining them, convincing
everybody else that it no, it was not legitimate scrutinys.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's bigotry, as you now put it. When the history's
finally written of this with a little distance of this era.
So we lived through this era, we all know where
we were all scared to say all kinds of things
that we now opened say about race, sexuality, a variety
of things. I mean, because they they did pretty good
(15:07):
job of everybody scared with the microaggressions and everything like that,
and even though we didn't agree with it, we thought
they kind of meant it. But between the George Floyd
riots in the middle of COVID where it's like, oh, okay,
so you don't believe in this COVID stuff or what
happened on Columbia with the Jewish kids and all the
(15:27):
other campuses, and we realized, Okay, this is all crap.
This is all crap that from the left. They did
so much damage to what you were just talking about,
that structure they had built themselves. They tore down their
own structure. When we realized, Oh, that whole microaggression thing
is complete crap. You don't mean it at all.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh, they're just trying to bully you into silence. They
don't want diversity, they want one ideology. They call it
diversity to shut you up.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Right, We all thought you were actually so precious with
these microaggression and stuff like that, that were kind of building
society to make sure. But no, it's all crap. Okay, fine,
well then screw you. You can't have dudes in women's
locker rooms. Let's get rid of dudes and women's sports,
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
As you've pointed out, you've got some of them who
know exactly what they're doing, and some of them have
just been brainwashed and go along with it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Remember referring to the microaggression crowd as snowflakes. They were
not snowflakes. They were gun wielding aggressors. They were there
to take over the institutions by calling you a racist,
And of course nobody is who's a racist should be
in charge of anything, So now we're in charge. It's
(16:38):
an instrument of capture.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, pretty interesting. Also interesting the responses we got on
what is your perfect day? We'll have to recap real quickly.
What science says or a study says your perfect day is.
It wouldn't be my perfect day. Way too much time
with other people. Again, another example of extroverts being in
control of everything and making introverts feel like weirdos.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But depressing us. What about all rights exactly? More on
that in a second statued.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Are strong and getty.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
A dozen eggs are going for more than six dollars
according to the national average. You might have seen the
social trends plastic egg decorating and dying, marshmallows, and potatoes.
All it takes is a little food dye you probably
have in the back of your pantry from last.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Year, and egg shaped potatoes.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Both options are a fraction of the cost of a
dozen eggs.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I think the dye potatoes because we can't afford eggs
is the reason our grandparents left the old country. You
know what you want, you know what you can do
if you can't buy eggs. Haggs and suggestions. A good
suggestion just tell your kids you hid the eggs really
really well this year, egg shaped potatoes, while you are
really up against hard times. And one email or suggested
(18:00):
we're being insensitive because of our financial comfort life. No, no,
I don't believe it. I've been I've been pretty broke.
The difference between what eggs used to cost and what
they call I mean costs six months ago and what
the cost now is a couple of bucks. A couple
of bucks is the difference between you. I mean, you're really, really,
really really struggling. I just I just don't believe. There's
a lot of God bless you.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I hope you're your lot improves, but uh, egg shaped potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Really some people have no sense of humor. It's fine.
I pity them. Oh, I guess doctor oz is being
sworn in as whatever he is now when they said
that's historic.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
He is now the highest in US history, the highest
ranking quack in American history.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I was actually wondering when they put his hand in
the Bible and said do you swear to uphold the Constitution?
Did he say? Quack? Quack? We'll take that as a guess.
There's doctor Oz. We had a personal run in with him,
So I have a personal against himself, that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
And he's a quack and he's a quack. Yes, he
was a hell of a heart surgeon, no doubt. But
then he started pitching fake stuff anyway back to you
and got rich off of it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah. So what was it? A scientific study describing the
perfect day? Is that what you had for stat Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Essentially, it was a huge survey of people about what
they did with their time and how they rated their days,
and they came up with this formula. Six hours with family,
two hours with friends, an hour and a half of
extra socializing, two hours of exercise, one hour of eating
and drinking, less than six hours of work, one hour
of screen time, and a fifteen minute commute, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Center I'll run through some of the texts we got.
We throw it out to you, what your perfect day is?
The perfect day goes like this. It's Friday, early morning,
you make a call into work. Cough cough, you go
out to hook up your boat and you head down
to the river for some good time fishing. There's a
number of people who said the day fishing is their
perfect day. Can I come the perfect day you described
(20:03):
sounds like retired people playing pickleball. Yeah, that's pretty close.
Uh wow, nailed it. I think what you described is
the perfect day for extroverts. I need way more alone
time than that. Yeah, my perfect day, no way. It
includes six hours with family, an hour and a half
with friends, and two hours two hours with friends and
then more socializing. No, it's freaking way not even close.
(20:27):
And we got a bunch of texts like that. And
that's as an introvert, it's always bothered me that extroverts
get to write the rules and everything like that because
they're extroverts, so they like getting into conversations and having
those roles. But none of your introverts friends want that
much interaction with other humans.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And again, this is not like designed outward by science.
It's a giant study. It's a poll essentially, so and yeah,
there are more extroverts in the world than introverts, so yeah,
it reflects an extroverted population.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, an extra an introvert friend of mine texted me
that would be a hell day for them. Yeah, way
too much socializing and hanging out with other people. I mean,
if I would feel guilty if I didn't spend time
with my kids on my perfect day, But if I
had to spend the whole day by myself, going to
(21:20):
a coffee shop, reading books, playing my guitar, It's not
like at the end of the day, I'd be miserable, right,
I'd be pretty freaking happy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I was thinking about it a little bit and realized
just to have like, ah perfect day is kind of silly, because, yeah,
unless you ran yourself to complete exhaustion, I would love
to spend time with all three of my kids who
are grown, which we did a couple of weeks ago
and it was wonderful. And I want to play golf
with my buddies. Well, I want to go out for
(21:50):
dinner and drinks with Judy. I mean, just my big birthday.
A while back, I went to LA and I spent
the whole day by myself and it was awesome, absolutely awesome.
But I spend lots of time with my kids, so
I don't have to one day away from them.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I don't have to feel guilty, but I don't think
John here from Reno, My perfect day is just being
with my wife. That was very nice, beautifully. My perfect
day is doing none of those things except for work
and extending that to ten hours and listening to Armstrong
and Getty. I don't know what he does for a living,
but he really enjoys this job. Some people really like working.
They really really like working. And thank you for listening.
(22:30):
Winning Giants baseball game followed by excellent evening of live
music and dancing, no drinking. That's a pretty good day.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Wow, you had me until you were dancing. I mean
that sounded great until we were dancing. Why didn't I
just sit here and drink?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Will you dance? Person? It reminds me we left a
restaurant the other day and me and both the boys
and we're walking by this like wine bar sort of place,
and they had a little live music. They got like
I get and guy playing the guitar and his wife
singing or something like that, and there were people sitting
there drinking. So this is like six o'clock on a Friday,
eight and aneebriation's starting to set in. Anyway, there's one
(23:08):
like very typical sort of wine drinking wife like age
fifty five, dancing by herself in front of the music.
And I could see her husband right behind her. He's
just sitting there with his glass of wine. And I
explained to my kids. I told him. I said, that
woman wants nothing more in the world than for her
husband to dance with her, and he should be dancing
(23:30):
with her, even if he hates it. Even if he
hates it, he should be out there dancing with her.
You know what. She's happy right now, and so is he.
Leave mind your own business. I just told my kids,
I said, if you're ever in that situation, even if
you don't want to do it, you should be dancing
with her because that's what she wants to do. Your
answer is pretty good too. They're both happy. Nne Ya.
(23:57):
I don't understand this one. Maybe I missed something. Perfect
day punching a volcano into submission? What is that thing?
We know what that is? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
No, it's funny on its face, but what the hell
do you What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Sir or madam? That perfect day study might be why
your blue collar guys working on the deck were so
happy Joe told that story earlier in the show. In
the Trades, you spend eight hours doing physical work with
a group of people that are typically you're friends with.
We tend to have fun and joke around while it worked.
Then we go home and have a drink while doing
family time before bed. That's pretty good day.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's funny. We were talking to
I was talking about the contractor general contractors who oversee
and everything were having done, and I was asking him
questions about how this works and how that fits into
that and stuff like that, and he was just so
into it.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And he said, this is the fun stuff. This is
so cool building stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
He said, Now, the billing and the paperwork and the
permits and the taxes not so much. But when we
get to actually build stuff. Oh, I couldn't have loved
his job more. Right, we got several more on the whole.
That's way too much of an extrovert day for me.
I'm an introvert. I would prefer to be like this
person talking about riding their horse alone or whatever. Yeah, hey,
(25:14):
back to the job thing, just real briefly. He remember
how several years in a row we would do this.
The best jobs report would come out, and it was
always an actuary that was the best job, Like an
insurance actuary. You sit in a cubicle doing spreadsheets, but
(25:35):
it pays pretty well and you're safe and you don't
have to be outdoors.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And those studies always emphasize climate controlled comfort above anything,
as if nobody actually wants to work outside. I have
known so many people in my life who would die
if they had to be inside working. And you know,
days that are two hot or too cold or too
rainy are way better than to work inside. But a
(26:01):
lot of the you know, academic types who put together
these lists can imagine working outside. Uh. And one more,
I read this one last because this person ruins it
for everyone else. They might be sincere, but still my
perfect day is anyone where I make a difference in
someone's life. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, you're better than me, yes, I'm probably, I don't know,
taller than you. So we have something going for us.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Right, I mean you, good for you? You probably mean it,
But that's just off putting. You've made our lives worse.
How does that feel you? It make you feel? Huh?
Everybody listening? Actually, many thousands of people you hide their
lives worse by saying that, because now they think, oh,
(26:50):
I was thinking about going fishing and having sex and
you said different.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
From Saint Francis of Assi listening anyway, But yeah, thanks
for the note.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You've made everybody's life worse. So now you've had a
bad day. I hope we'll finish strong next throwing out
the money changers or something today on Good Friday. How
you doing? Ah good, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I was just thinking I'd almost missed this story that
I'm so glad I came across. I was thinking earlier
between that which I have to read, I should read
and I want to read, I would need roughly thirty
seven hour days for the next right fifty weeks. Oh,
(27:43):
I wish I could get to instill that in my kids.
My oldest particularly just has no interest to reading and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I said, I keep telling the man, if I
could do anything today, I would read all day long.
I go into a bookstore, there's like, there's so many
books I want to read in there. It drives me
crazy that I'll ever get to them. All.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, I know, I have stacks of I finally dove
back into the cane mutiny after a couple of day break.
I was just too busy reading work stuff and oh
I love that book so much. Anyway, so this is
the good news I almost missed. I just saw the headline.
The Texas House passed a bill that will bring school
choice to the nation's most populous red state. We were
railing at length earlier as we are wont to do
(28:21):
about how perverse and ineffective our education system has become
in the United States. K through PhD just a miserable,
miserable failure. Anyway, It's a win for Governor Greg Abbot,
who championed the bill and supported primary challenges against Republican
legislators who opposed school choice last year, and for the President. Actually,
(28:43):
you worked the phone with legislators in the hours before
the vote was called.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Donald J. Was standing up big for school choice in Texas.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
The program, which will be capped at a billion dollars
in its first year of implementation, is designed to send
money directly to families via education savings accounts. Money can
be used for private school tuition, homeschool tools, and curriculum,
and virtual learning programs. Democrats in their allies in the teachers'
unions complain that the program's cost could explode. Hilarious about
(29:12):
face from the top interest group for greater state and
local spending, especially on education. If families and students choose
to use the funds instead of attending public schools, that
means they think they'll be better off outside the public
education monopoly, and once they leave, legislators can cut public
school spending to assuage the Teachers' union's spending concerns.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
The people who are in I know one guy in particular,
I'm thinking of people who are work in public schools.
They definitely don't have the attitude they should have. Their
attitude should be we don't care where you get your education.
We just want to make sure kids get a good education,
and we're here for if you want to go to
the public school run. They definitely do not have that attitude. Wow, yeah,
(29:54):
on good point. It's a no, you got to do
it here and anything else is a threat to us,
and we'll do any thing we can to try to
keep that from being a viable option.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And the idea that we even contemplate the well being
of children is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, so clearly true.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So good for Texas Arizona's doing some pretty exciting things
in school choice too. Let's keep watching these laboratories of democracy,
and I'm certainly rooting for it to be successful. I mean, obviously,
if there were government schools that were solid and educated
the kids and didn't attempt to indoctrinate them into radical theories,
(30:35):
which is just astonishing to me, that would be great. Sure,
but that's not the situation, not even close. One thing
we probably won't get to is but I'll say this
for Monday is a great, a little kind of mini
write up in the National Review. I'll just read you
at the beginning of it. Having been soundly defeated in
(30:58):
the court of public opinion, the from opponents of gender
affirming care that's in quotes for kids have taken their
efforts underground. Healthcare providers are now concealing their mutilation to
children when applying to have the procedures covered by insurers. So,
rather than admit to performing a double mestectomy on a
teen girl for purely cosmetic reasons, the responsible physician will
(31:21):
file to have the procedure covered as a medically necessary
breast reduction.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Wow. Any doctor that would do that is insane, Actually, insane. Yeah,
Ethan Ham.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You remember that surgeon who was prosecuted by the Biden
Department of Justice for blowing the whistle on gender transition
stuff going on a Texas children's hospital in open violation
of Texas's laws. By the way, he recently testified before
the House Judiciary Committee and explained how they campaign for
Southern equality. An LGBTQ minus plus over the power of
(31:57):
three group trains doctors to seal their efforts.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
That is brutal, Yeah, it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Sorry, I didn't mean to end on a negative note
or an anger inducing note. A most respectful happy Easter
weekend to all of our friends of the Christian faith.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I'm trying to come up with something good Friday
ish or Easter ish I'm going to do with the boys.
So I got to do something to feel good about myself.
My sudden goes to Christian privates. They do plenty of stuff. Yeah. Yeah,
speaking of books, I want to read.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
When I was in that crazy bookstore I described to
you in North Carolina, as was Yeah, I was around Asheville.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I bought like a thousand.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Page history of Christianity and I really need to dig
into that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Maybe I'll just started to get the hooks in me.
Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Here's your host for final thoughts on Good Friday, It's
Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Final thought from everybody on the coupe. To wrap up
the day, there is Michaelangelower, Technical director. Michael Well, I'm
gonna spend this weekend just finding any round objects I
can and putting food coloring on it, and so I
don't have to spend any money on eggs, potatoes, radishes,
whatever's handy.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Katie Greener esteemed a muse woman. As a final thought,
Katie I opened up a poll on my Twitter saying
peeps are a a sophisticated delight in b trash majority
seventy thirty trash. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, whenever I find myself in agreement with the majority,
I immediately reassess my opinion. Fools Jack final thought for
us man, the.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Whole period sure goes by fast. When your kids are
small enough, you get to do the Easter bunny thing
and hide the eggs and all the stuff. That was fun,
But it's over. It's a lot less work, but not
quite his magical, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
My final thought I've changed at the last second. I've
scoured the New Testament stemmed a stern and found zero
mentions of magical bunnies that delivers. It's an outrage, it's irreligious,
it is shocking.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
It is one of the odder things we've got going
on in culture, but straight out of paganism. I understand.
And it's fun sure, yeah, and it's fine. It's funny.
I grew up as a church going kid and we
did Easter with the bunny and the eggs too, and
that like didn't confuse me. I didn't stay in there.
(34:26):
Ownd wait a second, I.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Just like, so we did the Sunrise service and everything
in had an Easter. ACoM Yeah, Armstrong and Getty repic.
I'm another grueling four hour worthday. So many people thinks,
so little time. Good Armstrong and Giddy dot com for
the hotlings Katie's Corner. Pick up some swag for your
favorite ang fan.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
They'll love it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Maybe it's you yourself. If there's something you see over
the weekend we ought to be talking about, send it
along mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
So many big stories out there will be following next week.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
See then, God bless America, Armstrong and Getty is an
unpredictable beast, and.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
There's nothing wrong with you for being like this. I
was wondering you know what you felt about that? Whatever
you say that in child, listen.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Let's go one final message, perhaps a delicious marshmallow peep. Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I like that total voice, like I'm not being reverenced
toward the Lord and Savior. If I don't like peeps,
that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Have a great Friday, you, Mother, Armstrong and Gaddy,
