Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radial Studio,

the George Washington Broadcast Center,

Jack Armstrong, and Joe Getty.

I'm Strong and Getty.

And now he is Armstrong and Getty.

I feel like it's more egregious this year,

even than years past.

News outlets trying to pretend

that the female version of March Madness

is every bit as big a deal as the men's version of March Madness.

Yeah.

And I've seen a couple of times where they tease coming up,

how's your bracket looking,

and then when they come back,

Yukon continues to dominate the bracket

in the women's NCAA tournament.

They do that first and then do the men's.

I mean, who are you kidding here?

Wow.

Who are you kidding?

Wow.

I mean, it's just,

if women's basketball are more popular than men's,

I'd be happy to say it.

It doesn't bother me.

But it's not.

It's just, and it's not even close.

I mean, the attendance, the ratings,

they're not even in the same ballpark

or league as a thing.

So why pretend that it is?

I saw Bill Bertha comedian the other night

who was talking about this.

He was talking about the WNBA.

And players were angry about the crowds

and he was saying,

we men, do we have to do everything?

So we have to go to your games for you.

Because the women aren't filling the stadiums

to go watch their fellow women play.

They're going to men's games.

I know lots of women that are super big

college basketball fans,

men's college basketball fans.

Yeah.

There's nothing wrong with the fact

that for whatever reason,

the men's version is more popular by a lot.

There are several reasons, yeah.

And yes, we're aware that when Caitlin Clark

was in the final,

the ratings were fantastic.

But yeah, it's an odd thing.

But why pretend?

Why lead with the women's?

And act like that's what everybody

is waiting through the commercials for.

It's the sort of people of the left

who equate the word equal with the same.

If women have an equal right to sports,

if not as many people go to watch them

or watch them on TV,

that's proof that it's some sort of discrimination

or injustice.

No, men and women should be equal,

but not the same.

Equal opportunities equal rights,

but not the same.

That's a bizarre notion.

Anyway, I just had a very funny AI moment,

Apple now in their struggle to get AI going

and working with Google and all will give you,

I think it was on the lock screen,

a summary of a text.

If you're just looking at,

oh, I need a text coming.

And the summary of the text was twice as long

as the actual text.

That's pretty funny.

That was funny.

The actual text of the text was go ahead

and the summary was encouragement to continue.

I find that sometimes the summary of an email or a text

looks really harsh and I think,

oh, oh, and then it's a very light hearted reply.

Like, what?

Why do you make it seem like?

All right.

Rejection of your proposal.

Okay, coming up some really good stuff

from the best heckler in baseball.

Just hilariously funny.

And all sorts of good stuff to squeeze into the final hour

of the week, but first,

let's take a fun look back at the week that was

its cow clips of the week.

What's the week?

This lesbian has had plenty of girlfriends with penises.

I can't explain that.

You know, a person living like a rat?

It pisses me off.

That's what I was like.

What should I do if I didn't tell him to clean it up?

We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence

We've already tried that.

It is racist.

It is immoral.

It is unholy.

You must be happy.

I'm very happy.

You're all your tolas, dude.

I'm what?

Who?

What?

Who the f*** is Iotola?

He street band is coming your way

and we are bringing hope over fear.

Peace over.

This thing is going to be settled very soon.

We did E.O. Jima.

We can do this.

The marines.

My money is always on the marines.

In the grand scheme of things, fast wars just don't happen.

And they're not easily resolved.

I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you.

I never in all the work I've ever done with the energy

and they do nothing but life or their teeth.

Look, I'm going to end up with settling this.

Otherwise, we'll just keep bombing our little hearts out.

Sometimes you have to escalate to D.E.E.

But I really hope the American people will be with him

because he is doing this to make the whole world safer.

We are an idea that threatens Iran.

That threatens this regime.

Because we are open.

We are progressive.

They want to make a deal.

The reason they want to make a deal is they have been just...

...beatish f***.

Oh my god.

How do you do that to our national anthem?

It flips up the wiener.

That reminds me.

I was going to say many regimes around the world

that I would be executed for slaughtering the national anthem.

reminded me, it's becoming pretty clear who the next leader of North Korea is going

to be. And it's fat heads 13 year old daughter.

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I mean, you're all familiar with the concept of mean girls, but

who? She's just going to be a mean girl. Well, why do you suppose he did that as she

just shows a certain promise or? Yes, it's got to be she has the qualities or gets it

at that tender age of what the family business is because for a while, it was supposed to

be his sister, but they're roughly the same age. I wonder if it's just somebody young

enough. They're not a threat yet. You don't have to worry about them consolidating power

and offing you. Yeah, yeah. But it's surprising to a lot of career watchers that it's a female,

but whatever. So the clip we played in there of the mayor of Chicago saying we can't incarcerate

ourselves out of this problem. That whole, you know, jailing people hasn't worked. It

actually did work very, very well. We started jailing the hell out of people like in the 70s

and then crime dropped like crazy over the 80s and 92 thousands. Then we decided to go back

the other direction. Let's try not punishing people for crime anymore. So which brings me

to our new code thing. We've got on our the bathroom here on the fifth floor here at the building.

So now they've got a keypad on there. Like, and I don't know where where you're listening

where you live. This might be completely foreign to you. You might be living like all of America

has lived four hundreds of years where if you go into a restaurant, they have a bathroom that's

open to the public. And if you want to go, you just go and you walk in the door. You might live

somewhere like that and like be completely lost by this conversation. But around here in California,

they're very, very, very few open public restrooms. They all have a lock on them with a code,

and you have to get a code from somebody at the front. And it's all to keep junkies from using

your bathroom, like sleeping in there, befiling it, washing themselves, whatever.

Well, and just to make it make the point even clearer, it's not like there are public bathrooms,

quote unquote, in the radio ranch. There's just unlocked bathrooms for the businesses and the

customers of those businesses to you, which you could have forever in every office building in

America. And what drives me crazy, and this is where I'm always complaining to my kids about,

and you know, when we're at CVS and you got to get somebody to with a key to unlock

the entrepreneur for you, we keep adjusting to the junkies. We keep backpedaling away from the

junkies and letting them encroach on our enjoyable lives. They get to take our enjoyment so that they

can have more enjoyment. When are we going to stop this retreating? So rather than, you know,

and you got the lawsuit thing like Starbucks ended up in a lawsuit because they wouldn't let

somebody in a bathroom or whatever and blah, blah, blah. So then a lot of businesses just decide,

okay, we don't have public bathrooms and they always have a sign to close for repair or whatever.

There's lots of places like that in California, where you just don't have the bathroom

because you're going to get into some sort of legal problem. What are we going to stop retreating

and say, no, no, no, how about this? How about you get all the freaking drug addicts within five blocks

out of here and then we can continue to have open bathrooms like we always have and it was fine.

Now is a perfect moment for clip number 11, Michael. It's a fellow by the name of Kevin

Dolgren. He's a portlander. I am not standing in a trash dump. I am standing in a public park

in the city of Portland. This is absolutely disgusting and it is everywhere. This is not

isolated issue. I find this in our green spaces every single day. This is hundreds of thousands

of pounds of trash everywhere. One of the most beautiful cities in the world and any of the

videos amazing. It's just so much garbage. It looks like, well, it looks like the outskirts of

a garbage dump. So that guy, I'm sure as a guy with a job and paying taxes paid for the park,

then drug addicts, and as enjoyed it for most of his life, then drug addicts to get to

defile it with no penalty, with no penalty to them. You don't get used to the park and probably

are going to end up paying for the cleanup and maintenance. Yeah. What kind of society is that?

Pray your kid doesn't step on a syringe. Yeah. Just nuts. We got a quick retreating in the face

of the drug zombies. Do we actually have the Willie Brown audio or is that just something you saw

where he was talking about how ridiculous it is to. Yeah, okay. I read it. But former mayor

of San Francisco in a long time speaker of the house, speaker of the assembly in California said

that California's San Francisco's policies ruined the city. All these social workers who got in

charge who think they can talk these people out of being bad is basically just saying that some

people are bad and you got to throw them in jail. Yeah. The end or kick them out of the park.

Where am I supposed to go? Not here. That's your problem. You can't be here.

Nuts. All right. I'll stop complaining. It's a Friday. I don't want to be angry.

Just reminded me when I went to the bathroom and to punch in the code.

I'm adjusting to them as opposed to making them adjust to us.

Nuts.

Anyway, we'll talk about something nicer like baseball. Come on up. Stay here.

This week on point game with me, CJ Tolodona and Isaiah Thomas. We get ITs take on how good

Darius A-Cuff on Arkansas is. Take a listen. Amazing. One of the best cars I've seen in them

in years. Like it is. We got to give him his flowers every big game this year. He's taking control

of it. He's been the best player on the floor almost every game that he's been a part of.

The numbers he's putting up in the NCAA tournament are crazy. And he's doing it within the

offense. He's doing it super efficient. Like he's definitely I think if a team that needs a point

guard is the number one pick. He's going to be the number one pick.

Challenge in a call to the ball. And it came from Peralta.

So is that the first successful challenge of a ball strike call in Major League Baseball?

So the computer told the umpire they are wrong on their call.

Right. Exactly. We had a discussion yesterday based on a column by Jason Gay in the Wall Street

Journal about the problems with the robot umpire thing. And it was so insightful, so good.

Kudos to Jason. If you want to hear it grab yesterday, I'm strong and getting on demand podcast.

I won't repeat all of it. But I got permission from my buddy Brian the Major League umpire recently

retired who's been feeding me information about all sorts of baseball related things for a long time.

Um, who said something interesting? Um, I'm less worried about the job security because our biggest

most important job is when nobody really realizes but Major League Baseball knows handling the

emotions of the players and keeping order. There's no computer system that will help with that.

Now that the balls and strikes can't be argued or vented over. Are they going to start fighting

each other in the dugout? The anger and emotion has to go somewhere. It I can't wait to see where it

goes. That's interesting. Give me a shot. Give me a shot. Remember we were playing that clip years

ago. The manager losing his mind in the umpire, you know, letting him vent and talking him down. That's

exactly right. Yeah. And the players are really, really intense sometimes too. And they need somebody

to vent at. And so they yell at the umpire couple of times the umpire rolls their eyes and on

the on we go with the game. Yeah. I thought that was interesting. Um, speaking of baseball, I was

aware of this guy kind of just a little bit. Um, but it's funny. He's kind of got a higher

profile now. Thanks to oh, and both these stories are kind of about baseball, but they're really

about life and human beings. Trevor Gilmore or Trev's chirps as he's known on social media is

the world's greatest baseball heckler right now. And because of social media, you can hear his

stuff. He and a buddy went to a triple a baseball game, sat in the bleachers and thought,

these people's heckling is terrible. He said, he said they're not creative and it's personal.

It's mostly just a lot of use sucks. So I'm like, there's a better way to do this. And so he

launched his social media pages and his buddy who is at the game of films, everything he does.

He's actually a big giants fan hangs out at the San Francisco Giants games a lot and they have

a special ticket deal with him. And a lot of fans will like buy him tickets or post for pictures

and he's become a thing. But we'll start with 12 Michael and go from there. Here is some of Trevor

Gilmore's work. Hey, Randall, I bet you drink red wine with fish. You bump. Hey, pro far,

I bet you put your feet on people's dashboard. You bump.

Hey, seven. I bet you like to chew with your mouth open. You bump. Hey, Kevin, I heard you like

to drive your golf cart on the green. You bump. Jackson, mom is a good old timey term.

I remember hearing that it comes games when I was a little kid. The Padre's Jackson Merrill

says he jerked me and was like, I bet you always three putt and golf. So for the first month of the

offseason, I three putt it every green something I never do. He got inside my head. You bump. You

bump. I'm a little more Michael. Hey, Merrill, you look like you dropped pom and loot. You bump.

Hey, Vilar, I hear you like your snake. Well done, you bump. Hey, Kevin, I bet you really

want to be traded to the Savannah bananas. You bump. Hey, Nolan, I bet you don't know the

difference between there, there and there. You bump. Hey, Jeffrey, I hear you like to buy your

leg of three built. You bump. He'll also drop the occasional movie quote or song lyric,

which always gets to the knowing fan. Do we have time for one more, Michael? Why not?

Hey, Kevin, I hear you don't refill the brittle when you're done, you bump. Hey, Jonathan,

I hear your favorite character on the office was Angela, you bump. Hey, Randall, I bet you leave

trash in your friend's cars, you bump. What a start bag, is that right? Hey, Kevin, you look

like you eat bananas with the peel on, you bump. Hey, Eddie, I bet you think Africa is a country,

you bump. Yeah, you bump, you bump. Oh boy, that is fantastic. That is so American. I love that.

I sat behind a couple of young guys in Phoenix at a Phoenix Suns game. I took my dad, I told

this story many times. His 80th birthday, I bought tickets to sit right behind the bench to watch

LeBron play when Cleveland was in Phoenix. And so we got to sit up close and everything. But

there were these two must have been rich kids. They were young sitting in the very front row. Also,

their heckles were really good. They were kind of like that. They heckled endlessly, but they

were all like not personal. They were just like weirdly entertaining. And the players would look over

and shake their heads like, what the hell are you talking about? I hear you eat your kid cat sideways.

You bump. Oh, that's great. Oh, it is. The old ballpark.

Ah, listen, we're the funniest country on earth. Let's not lose that America. Exactly. We got

more of the way. If you miss us, I can make it podcast Armstrong and Getty on the band.

disclosures. Shocking scene in Florida at Daytona Beach International Airport,

watches the span runs towards a plane. Authorities say he ran his Ford Mustang

through the airport gate, entered the active tarmac, and tried to board an aircraft.

Brian Parker was arrested. Officials say he was intoxicated. He faces a number of charges,

including felony trespass. Florida, man. So he crashes his truck, crashes his car through the

gate at the airport. That's all the way to a plane and tries to get on the plane.

That is some behavior. I don't know what was going on in his head. It was like a small

like a single engine plane and he tried to get into the cockpit. Wow.

Wonder what he was thinking in his head, what he thought was going on. Anyway, we've got some of

the body cam audio, I guess, from one of the law enforcement people. What's the deal, man?

I don't remember. I was at my house. I had a bunch of drugs on my 28 meeting.

I had to get up, don't cook, eat, drink, and smoke a pot.

Look, yeah, I didn't get on my motorcycle. So you were doing all kinds of drugs and ran through

a gate. Yeah, I crushed my car. Well, it's going to aid in the investigation.

Thank you, sir, for your candor. Well, so the cocaine pot and the booze all combined together

to somehow it seemed like a good idea to crash through the gate at an airport and try to board a

plane. He seemed remarkably coherent, given all that had occurred. No kidding. Wow. He looked

high as a kite. And he said he didn't really remember. He looked way too old for that sort of

lifestyle too. Oh, really? How old do you appear to be? It's 58. 58. Yeah, that's a 20 something sort

of behavior, not 58. Some miracles live this long. Okay, I got something kind of thick here.

Can you handle thick on a Friday? This is kind of thick. This is pretty interesting though.

Six CK or CC. I was going to go with CK. Okay.

This come from from an author of a book called Islam Israel in the West. I don't know this person.

It doesn't really matter. Assume this is true. If it's not true, I don't know.

Assume me. Complain on the internet. Go on the internet and complain.

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another ant colony, kills a single worker

and then takes on the dead ant scent. Have you ever heard this before? It sounds vaguely familiar,

yeah. For ant scent is everything. And once you kill that ant, get it sent,

wearing that scent, the intruder can walk in with no resistance. The workers pass by without any

concern whatsoever. The intruder then moves inward toward the queen. Then it sprays the queen

with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her than they surround her in killer.

Oh my lord. The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.

Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is

the future. And of course, you probably saw this coming. This was going to be a allegory metaphor,

whatever you want to call it for, something bigger. This is how ideological takeover works.

A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs.

It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these

words and quietly changes what they point to. Then it moves inward. It alters how foundations

are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred,

tradition like danger, history like guilt. At that point, the civilization turns on itself

like the ant colony. It's courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating

their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system. They're enforcing what

now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them.

And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased,

the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left. The queen is gone,

the colony is no longer itself. Wow, that's perfect. Pretty good. The most effective conquest is

a one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy and that killing them is

an act of virtue. How good is that? That is exactly what has happened. Perfect writing. Yeah.

Very clever by the evil doers, whether it's, you know, that Foucault crowd and their whole

thing postmodernists. Yeah, but man, I often call it neomarxes. Very clever. And I'm not sure

history will even document it well. Assuming we don't survive it, and I'm not sure we will.

Right. Of how incredible, how incredibly clever it was to go in and convince people,

a culture to hate itself and its own institutions. Yeah, it's, you know, they've barred from

more well too. It's astonishing and horrifying to me how few people understand that's what's

happening. And as I always say, these people wrote books, their names are on the spine. They

described exactly what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. And that is what

you are seeing. That's the woke thing, the woke apocalypse. That's these postmodernists, Foucault

and his band of Mary Frenchman. And this is all on purpose. And then insidiously,

it's interesting that that came from a book about Islam, Israel and the West. That's where the

red-green alliance becomes significant because the Islamists see what the postmodernists are doing

and think, hey, let's, let's do exactly what they're doing. And in fact, let's band with them

until we can chuck the current system. Because once, when the revolution comes, we'll kill all the Marxists.

I thought that was really, really good. That was brilliant. Pretty good to send that to me.

What a memorizer. Pretty thick with a CK, not with a C.C.

Right. That didn't never seen the guy. That denotes kind of like big thighs and a hefty

dairy-esque figure. Yeah. Curvy. That was really, really good. Is that true about the answer?

It doesn't need to be true for the, I mean, for the important part to be true.

Yeah. Yeah. It sounds very, very familiar to me vaguely. But I was just reading about this

invasive wasp. There are a couple. I think both from Asia that are vexing the country at either end,

one in the northwest and one in the southeast. But the one, the one in the southeast obliterates

B colonies, like honeybees, the good bees, the bees we need, and it decapitates the bees.

Which seems unnecessarily like ISIS-like to me. Why do you have to do that with bees?

I wouldn't think that that's, because for humans, it's like to really terrorize you. Look how

what they're willing to do. And does that work on bees? I don't think so, but my point was

going to be the insect, well, the animal world, but the insect world in particular is utterly brutal.

It's horrific. The murder happens every time you turn around. They're constantly killing each other.

It's a hummingbird, eat hummingbird world out there. Sure, that's a great metaphor.

If you ever watched those videos when they slow down the whole hummingbird's eating thing,

oh my god. That's what you think they're like taking turns at the flower.

Yeah. They're beating the bejesus out of there. They look so cute and beautiful and they come

into your hummingbird feeder and then one goes in and eats and then another one goes in and

it happens so fast. If you ever get to, I'm sure you can, have you ever seen it on YouTube or

anything there, Katie? No, but what are they? They're stepping the crap out of each other

with their beaks. When two hummingbirds come into your hummingbird feeder, they get into a

violent battle that's unbelievable. If you see it slowed down frame by frame and you watch it,

then it's just horrific. You hate to even be a part of it. I refuse to believe this.

It's like watching the dog fight. Y'all let you guys do a lot of things. I won't let you ruin

my hummingbirds for me. They're trying to stab each other's eyes out. Wake up girl.

No, it is like watching a dog fight, which I've never done would be awful. I wouldn't be

able to stomach it. But yeah, the hummingbird violence is incredible for what it's worth. I've

never actually seen one injured in this jousting. It's more like they're pushing each other out

of the way, but their beaks are long and sharp. So yeah, and the strong one will just terrorize

the weaker one so it can't eat. When it flies off, looking all happy. It's because it got

it's asked kicked by bigger tough hummingbird. Wow. This is the worst segment you guys have done

today. I don't like saying something. You know, we're bringing a little reality to your fairy tale world.

North Carolina woman was recently bitten by an otter while watching a marathon.

Setter friend, just say you don't want to come to my party, okay?

Dang it. I didn't have my headphones on. What was the setup for that joke?

That was the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. It would be fun to say. Since they both

missed it, will you play the first thing again? Okay.

North Carolina woman was recently bitten by an otter while watching a marathon.

Setter friend, just say you don't want to come to my party, okay?

For the record. I did hear the whole thing and that is very funny.

And this aired before it. Abiding the drama.

The Armstrong Gettyshow. You're abiding the drama.

We're doing our best. Do you have that text handy again?

Oh yeah. You're so oddly worded.

So many who's willing to get onto the next thing.

Put up with our relentless negativity, I guess.

You're show depressing? No, hyperbolic. Yes.

Good ratings demand the drama and you abide.

That's actually my self-eformation. I say into the mirror every every morning.

Good shows demand drama. You must abide. All right, let's do this.

So here is a story that that amused me on a couple of different levels.

It's from CNN of all places.

Why quote about once a year? Because there's terrible.

This is a poop poster.

What? One of your online provocateur,

actual poster, troll super mega guy, like that Joe Kent guy,

who Trump went ahead to keep the coalition together and appointed to a powerful job in FEMA.

He's like a top FEMA official, leading their office of response and recovery.

Okay. When people are really suffering in the, the stuff is hit the fan blah, blah, blah.

This guy's got a history of unbelievably like violent, combative statements,

but we're going to beat the hell out of him and I'm going to track him down and punch him right

in his face and blah, blah, blah. On and on and on. He said of Joe Biden. I'd like to punch that

bitch in the mouth right now. He's a nasty SC crappy human being and he deserves to die.

And I hope he does. Okay. This is the dude. So he gets appointed to this really important FEMA job.

Wow. And the people in the department are really freaked out and worried. Here's the punchline.

After a few weeks, several of them told CNN to their surprise, Phillips hands on involvement

during the spade of storms and soften their doubts. Greg Phillips is FEMA's best hope at this

moment. I can't believe I'm saying that. I would have lead this guy gets into the job. Oh,

I forgot. He claimed quite seriously to have been teleported to a waffle house.

Well, okay. He was at home. All of a sudden he was at a waffle house and his sons will verify

there's no way he could have made it to the waffle house 40 miles away in that time. He was

teleported there. I've had similar experiences. I'm at home drinking a football game next thing

and I'm at a waffle house or they flipped on the lights at the bar and the next thing. I remember

I'm at a waffle house. I've had those things happen to her. I'm not sure it was spacecraft. You were

teleported. But the, the, the S posting thing kind of fits in with what we've experienced. People

that will just go overboard online, but in real life, they're kind of just not like that. Yeah.

Yeah, but credit, honestly, to CNN went back and followed up and the people he works with say,

oh, no, he's been doing a terrific job. Go figure. Yeah. That's part of the whole really weird

when in Rome, atmosphere of online commentary. That and this, which is something we've talked about,

a fair amount through the years, the idea of posts or phrases for one audience are interpreted

as if they're the official pronouncements of, of, of you as the spokesperson for yourself.

Right. FEMA spokesperson said, this is so silly. It's barely worth acknowledging.

DHS, FEMA and Mr. Phillips are focused on the critical mission level. Many of the comments

cited are taken out of context are represent personal, informal, jovial, and somewhat spiritual

discussions made in the context of barely surviving cancer in a private capacity prior to his current

role. Yeah. And that whole, because I've run into this, Joe and I've run into this.

Sometimes we've had law enforcement get involved. Oh, that was a joke. You guys didn't think

there was funny. Yeah. That didn't sound like a joke at all, really lacking any nod toward

humor whatsoever. But in your mind, I guess it was humorous. I know where you live and somebody

ought to take you out. No, didn't get the joke. No, no, no, no. And the ricketeer face

things so brilliant that people make jokes and they laugh not because they think I agree with

that. It's because everybody disagrees with it and everybody's shocked and it's a human reaction.

But that's useful for those, you know, the vicious activist types who it reminds me of the,

the, the, the anti metaphor and the great thing you read last segment. Um, and, and the, the way

you ideologically capture an institution and the whole point of critical theory is no matter

what somebody says, you find a word, declare it problematic and say it proves their racist

or homophobes or transphobes or, or, or, or the patriarchy or whatever. And you get people

so on their heels because they don't know what to say next because everything they say,

you find a word and you say that proves their racist till people sit down, shut up and let you

run the institution. James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose is a brilliant cynical theories is a great

book to read if you'd like to know more. Have you been, I gotta look up this guy's name because he's

not a household name for me like he is for my son. Do you know bruski? Druski, you know, Druski,

Katie? Now, oh, he's like the biggest thing in the world for anybody under 30. I might throw that

into my final thoughts. Okay. Hey kids, it's that time again. With Armstrong and Getty.

Here's your host for Final Thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a final thought from everybody on

the crew to wrap up the show for the day. Michael Angilar, technical director, will lead us off,

Michael? As a true story, it's funny. I was at an NBA game years ago and there was a role player

named Tony Bennett. And so he shouldn't too free throws and he misses both of them. And the guy

in our section yells, Hey, Tony, it looks like you left your game and say it for Cisco.

The whole section lasts. That's a good one. Yeah. Classy, heckle.

Keep it classy. Katie Greener steamed newswoman as a final thought. Katie, it's funny you just put

those two words together, Jack, because that's what I say when I'm joking with Drew and I'm going

to bring him a beer. I go, does bruski? Well, does Druski want a bruski? That's pretty funny.

Well, now you know that my final thought, Druski is a giant star. Like my son said, you don't

know who Druski is. Really, really big deal online presence. Anyway, he did a mocking Erica Kirk

video. I got tons of attention in the last 24 hours of it. I find quite hateful. But in his mind

and the crowd's mind might just be a joke. I don't even know. Back to your frequently stated,

no country for old men thing. I just, I'm voting no. I'll be in the woods watching squirrels

corvort, trying to identify ant colonies and watch them murder each other. That sounds relaxing.

I find it relaxing, yes, to watch animals murder each other brutally. Wow. Slow down the

hummingbirds and really watch them take each other's eyes out. Bed on the outcome.
