Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come for the sound fridge, stay for the lazy dumbasses.
It's one more thing.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Before we get to cleaning out the sound fridgege.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
That's right, metal guy, way to be ready.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Before we get to that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Here's a tease for tomorrow's radio show Fridays, because you
don't know what tomorrow is on a podcast, Friday's Armstrong
and Giddy Radio Show, we'll talk about the California Highway
Patrol's new piece of equipment to try to deal with
it says high speed chases, but then.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It talks about pursuits. I assume every pursuit is in
a high speed chase. Probably most of them are.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Anyway, it's when they flip on the lights behind you
and you don't pull over and have to chase you,
which I've always thoughts insane. I can't imagine ever doing that.
That's gonna make my life. Whatever I've just done, that
they flipped the whole the lights for is gonna get
exponentially worse by me running and I'm not gonna get away.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, that's the key, because if you're a felon on
probation in possession of drugs, I get you shouldn't, but
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
But you're probably you're not gonna get away most likely, right,
and things are gonna get so bad for you anyway.
How many.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Highway patrol pursuits were there last.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Year thirteen thousand, six hundred and twenty seven, almost teen
thousand times in one year in the state of California.
Did the cops flip on the lights behind somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
And they run?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I would I would have not guessed even close to that.
I thought it was very very rare.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Big state, many highways. But yeah, damn, that's a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Anyway, we'll talk about that more on Friday, May eighth.
Armstrong and Giddy show fantastic. All right, so let's clean
out sound fridge for a couple of minutes. Let's see
what do we say we're gonna do?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Ah? Yes, this does this need set up? This is
a Delta passenger at lax Hi.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Delta associates that aren't paying attention, please come to thirty
You have a customer waiting.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Please come and help the customer at thirty feet.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Anybody on on shift literally nobody wants to spot.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
That's fine, I'll just keeping the broadcast.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, sure, the captain just walked away from me and
saying I could go somewhere else.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
So does anybody want to help with customer service?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I've certainly felt that way before.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I would be concerned that if I jump on the
mic and say, does anybody work for Delta? You've got
a customer here who paid eighteen hundred dollars to get
to Saint Louis, and can anybody help me?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Anyone?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
But I'd be afraid if I jumped on the mic,
that I've violated some post nine to eleven terrorism law
that's gonna put me in Gitmo for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I would like to know that, guess I would. I mean,
get Mo looks lovely, very cribbing, but yeah, otherwise, that
guy's a hero. I love that.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I could certainly see doing that at a home depot
or a Walmart or something.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Part of the problem is in California anything, every everything's
locked up, so you can't blame the home the Walmart.
I had this situation where couldn't get anybody to come
unlock you know, the hammers or whatever it was, because
every piece of tools. But after like twenty minutes, I
was yelling out loud does anybody want to sell me
a hammer?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Anyone?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I've got money, you've got a hammer. Let's make a deal.
Anybody here want to sell a guy a hammer?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
White kids were so embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, but well done. Oh that's so frustrating.
All right? Moving along, This is a Catholic priest telling
a story about the new Chicago pope.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Two months in he calls his bank to change his
phone number, and so he gets the lady says, yes, ma'am,
I'm Robert Prevos, I'd like to change. She asks all
the security questions and then it is oh, I'm sorry, sir.
It says here you have to come in person, and
he said, well, that's not going to I'm not going

(04:34):
to be able to do that. Would it matter to
you if I told you I'm Pope Leo? She hung
up on him. Could you imagine being known as the
woman who hung up on the pope?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
So I get to be an humble thing, but you
don't have people to handle that for you as the pope.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I would think you have people they can handle that.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean, no, no, what bank in America would say, well,
you claim to be representing Jack Armstrong? Okay, we'll change
the data on the account.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
There's a chance, Yeah, there is. I do it on
a regular basis because I'm so busy. I've actually had
to hire people.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
To do this sort of stuff. When they let them
do it, you.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Got to give them all your passwords and access and
all this sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
But that's funny because I mean, like Judy and I
have various things even I connected to the work benefits
and whatever or trips we've booked together, that they won't
let her do anything really, even though she's my freaking wife.
Yeah wow, Wow, And.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
You get on the phone and say, she's my freaking wife.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, what's the matter with you? Jackasses? Yeah? Yeah, interesting,
I would not have guessed that. Yeah, the Pope's gotta
have minions. How about those guys in a fancy guard uniform.
Put down your gigantic acts. What are you gonna use
that for anyway? And call my bank for me? I'm
the Pope. Forget about it all right, Michael fourteen. The

(06:04):
baseball thing, does it need any setup?

Speaker 6 (06:07):
There is a term called dry humping, and.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm familiar with it, okay in baseball.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
In baseball, there's a high school couple dry humping out
on the outfield.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Different, different thing.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
This is a Florida Marlins pitcher explaining what happens.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
The dry hump is win. As a reliever, they call down.
You start warm enough. Obviously there's degrees of it. The
worst dry humps are the ones to which you then
have to fire it off and be as warm as
you would be to go in a game with no
guarantee that you go in a game, and if you
then say your team does not score a run, you
sit back down and you have been dry humped. Well,
one dry hump usually is okay. Two dry humps does

(06:45):
not feel very good. I think in my career I've
been dry humped three times once and I felt like
I couldn't move my arm for about eight hours.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
You know, it's a pretty good metaphor.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Ballpark. Got a couple up there, looks like they're.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Us, appeared to be in love and dry jumping.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Good night for the gentleman. Not going to be terribly
satisfying for the gentleman ultimately, Jim anyway, Oh and two, but.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Better than nothing, wouldn't you say, Steve? Would you better
than nothing?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Geddy get loose? All right?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
All right?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, yes, and five minutes later, sit down. They don't
need you. Yeah, very very frustrating. You know, that was actually,
like I said, a very good metaphor. Baseball has a
number of U slang terms within it which could be
seen by some sensitive listeners as sexist, because you get

(07:47):
a bunch of dudes who travel around with each other
and and and you know, wise crack and you know,
a whole locker room thing on steroids. You do it
for a living. So that was not as bad as
I thought it might be. I'm like a slumpbuster, as
the great Mark Brace once explained, No google it. I'm
not gonna tell you. It's course and hurtful toward women

(08:11):
who are willing to get with a ball player for
a brief encounter I do not approve of. But again,
if you want to google it, google it all right. So,
were you gonna head over to the I don't like
to work for him? Oh?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
No, tomorrow, am you?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh that's tomorrow? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh, something to looking forward since we're cleaning out the
zund fridge.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is it clipper done? Okay, that's it. There's just those
three things.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Back to the high speed chase thing.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Briefly, the fact that fourteen thousand people run from the
cops every year just in California.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I find that extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
So that means I know nothing about this. But in
the back of my mind I'm wondering, is if you
flip on your lights and you floor it from the
median or whatever, and you go after somebody and as
soon as they are where you want them, they pull over,
even though it took a couple of miles or whatever.

(09:10):
Is that a quote unquote pursuit? Good question. I don't know.
Are they all chases exactly or I don't know because
that number strikes me as very very high.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You're right, that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
All I know is that they've got a new piece
of equipment that they would only matter in a pursuit
where somebody's running. They've come up with this like contraption
that is mounted on the front of highway patrol vehicles
and then you can shoot it out like you're James
Bond or something like that, and its go around the

(09:47):
back wheels of the car like you're Batman, and then
you like drag it to a stop.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh sounds very dangerous to me.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
But according to this article in the Only Times you
got to be within five feet, and that seems really
unrealistic to me. Hmmm, that you could, without risking lots
of people's lives, be within five feet of the car
in front of you to enact this piece of machinery.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, a lot of high speed chases are pretty nascary.
You know what I saw? It was funny. It's connected
to when I was ranting about feeding me a chase
video that has no resolution. I sat there watching it
for five minutes and at the end they're just still chasing.
The guy was so pissed off. What was interesting was
when they were talking to the vagabond who ran from

(10:33):
the cops, and they the cops know, all right, this
guy could be a runner, uncooperative, weird excuses, you know,
blah blah blah, he's gonna take take a run for
One of the cops gently, unbeknownst to the scumbag, nudged
a device called the wrecker, the killer, the tire effor upper,

(10:54):
I can't remember, but he nudged this device under the
car as they were talking to him, and sure enough,
the I took off and immediately had a flat tire.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Oh that's an interesting like the spike.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Strips that they lay out during a chase. But like
a preemptive spike strip.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're a particularly dumb person if you run at that point.
So I think running is moronic to start with. But
at least he got the chance of getting away, combined
with the chance of wasn't me in that car combined whatever.
But if you're sitting there and they get a good
look at you and everything like that and then you're
gonna run, well, here a certain kind of moron anyway.

(11:30):
Of the fourteen thousand pursuits, and we don't have a
definition on that yet, twenty six hundred resulted in a crash.
Two six hundred crashes because of a highway patrol pursuit
in California. That's way too many because anytime there's a
crash that could have been you know, me and my
kids in the car or something like that. We got
to treat those running from the cops like you went

(11:51):
into a mall started firing off shots with a gun,
because you got a deadly weapon you're slinging around.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'm with you absolutely where that's.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Got to be very high.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And for what it's worth, that figure makes me think
the original figures actual chases.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it makes me think that too.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
So here's some slump buster think I got a little
meth in the car. I know I'm gonna do him
run from the cops. That's not a good idea.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm not sure you understand the term, but it could fit.
Bing it, bring it, ai It Rockets.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Just saw a YouTube video jack of a police chase
that ended poorly. The guy got out of the car,
started running from the cops, and the police dog was released,
and you can imagine how that went.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
With a neck.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Well, I guess that's it.
