Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And no He.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A group is asking New Jersey Transit to make commutes
more joyful by putting googly eyes on the front of trains,
so at least you'll see a friendly face coming to
help when you're pushed.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
On the track. Oof, yanks. What strep throat?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's say, streptocockle infection of your throatle region Streptococcus sorius.
I can't remember I took a micro bio it was
a long time ago, and I may have been stone.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And were they bigger than the China or Oh? I
so need a Tyrannosaurus for lunch. So I have a
doctor's appointment, but I have the worst store throat I've
ever had. But my windpipe feels like it's like the
size of a little tiny straw, just like it's just
so tight.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Sounds like you have a raging infection of some sort.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I don't know how did that guy? Or allergies anyway?
So if I do have strepp, what they do put
me on an imbodic yep. How contagious is strep throat?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Uh? Pretty? I don't remember more.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Or less than chlamydia. Oh my lord, well it's certainly
spread differently. I don't remember, you know, having raised three kids,
that's like an important part of your you know, knowledge
and techniques and the rest.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We've never had a strap in our house. I've never
had it. My kids haven't had it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Really anyway, everybody got their tonsils still.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
In all we all got our tonsils. Yeah you're talking.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I do, but I'm reading on the Google machine that
strap is worse in people that have tonsils still, and
it's contagious through respiratory droplets.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay, yes, there you go, so very contagious. My eldest Kate,
she had her tonsils removed because she got strep throats
so off.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh really yeah, yeah, you'll get my tonsils when you
prime out of my cold, dead hand hanging on to these.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What are your tonsoles doing in your hands? How does
that even work?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Got a number of things you want to get to
this hour, including this story, which I found really dang interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Why do people watch a TV show.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Or movie they've already seen and there's actually science behind
it that I found. First of all, makes perfect sense.
It also makes perfect sense why some people like my dad,
for instance, would never.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Watch a show.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean way back in the day when you know
there are three channels and all that sort of stuff,
and TV shows went into reruns in the summer. He
would never I've seen this, and you get up and leave.
He would never watch something twice. It fits in perfectly
with the science.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Wow, I can't wait because I rarely do. But there
are a couple of movies I'll watch again.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They're so good. Okay, I'll stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
We haven't mentioned this news story that happened in Pennsylvania
over the weekend, I think Saturday night.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
An arrest after what police called an act of arson
at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, where he and his
family had gathered to celebrate the first night of Passover.
The governor says he woke up to police banging on
the door around two am. He and his family quickly evacuating.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They're curly working on getting everybody evacuated as about twenty
five people inside.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
The authorities are investigating whether the arson could have been
motivated by the Governor's Jewish faith. The suspect was able
to breach the fence here at the Governor's mansion and
make it inside the residence where he started the fire.
He's facing several charges, including attempted murder.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, the guy not only got onto the grounds of
the governor's mansion, got into the freaking mansion and was
in there.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Long enough to set a for real fire.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I mean, when I first heard the story, I thought, Okay,
how much of a fire. I mean, I don't know
if you've seen the damage to the mansion, but that
was a dang fire. It was, you know, a real,
you're in threat fire, which is kind of hard to
imagine with a you know, modern systems that we've got
and everything like that, that I assumed that they would
have it a governor's mansion.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, the whole thing's pretty troubling. I guess the family
was in a different part and it's like a multi
building thing, I think, like a complex more than a house.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But I don't know specifically.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Well, yeah, but I don't know how comforted you would
be if you got out of your house and found
out he was in another part of the house where
he started to fighting. The guy not come the guy
that broke into your home while you were asleep without
anybody catching him. Are you hearing him and was there
long enough with the intent to kill you? Yeah, that
would be unnerving. And of course he's got a family
and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But you shut this the children.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yeah, he gave it a little speech about political violence
that I thought was pretty good of nonpartisan. We got
to stop this, We gotta we gotta quit accepting violence,
which I agree with one hundred percent. But we've been
accepting it the way too many people accept it on
the other side. Whatever side here is, you accept it
on your side, not the other side.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, the list is growing long. Two assassination attempts on Trump,
an assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh, the shooting at the
baseball game a number of years ago, just example after example.
It can't you know, you'd be I'd be tempted to say,
you know, you don't want to make too much of
a deal over one nut job who's hearing voices in
(05:33):
his head. But there's undeniably a pattern that this is
an exceptional I'm not exceptional. Accept a bull option for
various you know, semi deranged vehicle.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, the blase attitude of mainstream media toward burning down
all the teslas. Does that make this sort of thing
more likely or less likely?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Obviously more likely, Speaking of which I'd like to, after
a break, get a little bit into the cult of
Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Wow, that's troubling.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The demented young man who assassinated a healthcare executive on
the streets of New York and the admiration for him,
and and something like a religious cult has formed around
him that you know, I wasn't aware of, because you know,
it's not the sort of people I hang with who
would get drawn into that. But it's a strange and
(06:25):
troubling tale. Man.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Then, how much of it has to do with the
fact that he's good looking, which is also disturbing?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, like holmost sapiens as a species.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So dumb, so dumbed. So that's a good one. All
the stuff we teased, good stuff. I want you to
stay here.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
What are you gonna do yourself? My campus actually actually
a public I don't care. Nazif you understand me, take
it off, take a white gold Trump had off. He's
a you can lose there, and you're a Nazi punk
you boo this.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Whooo this guy that jumps apporterble.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Real? Is that real? Yeah? I don't be danged unhinged.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, i'd say which I wanted. Something is showing the
unhinjuredness of modern life to get into this story. And
it also reminds me of something an old boss of
ours said to us one time that people don't know
what they like, but they like what they know, which
is pretty good. Yeah, and kind of fits in with this.
(07:41):
Some study done by the University of Chicago, and this
is about watching a TV show, an episode of a
show you've already seen, or a movie you've already seen.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Why you do that?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And why some people don't rewatching the same show again? Man,
my voice really kind of craps cracks sometimes when.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I yeah, it's rough. You need to get to the
doctor because I'm dying. Yeah, everyone want to try it all.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dying jack slowly from time.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That is right, Rewatching the same show again and again
isn't a sign of laziness, says the University of Chicago study.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I never thought of it as laziness.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Did anybody think it was? Why did laz Because it's.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Not much work to switch to a different show.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yes, that's a stupid thing to say.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's actually a form of emotional regulation. When life feels
overwhelming or unpredictable, your brain craves familiarity. Watching a show
you've already know gives you a sense of control, comfort,
and stability. There are no surprises, there's no tension. You
know exactly what happens next, and that predictability helps calm
your nervous system.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Wow, yeah, makes perfect sense. It does make sense.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Rewatching provides a way to restore energy and regain a
sense of peace. It's moments when the world feels uncertainly
your brain reaches for what it knows. It's a self
regulation mechanism. I know exactly how the this is going
to play out. There's a bunch of things going on
in my life in the world. I don't know how
they're going to play out. I'm feeling crazy. I mean,
these aren't conscious thoughts. But I'm going to watch this
(09:08):
TV show and I know exactly. I know that Chandler's
about to run through the door. I know exactly what
he's gonna say to Monica, and it's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So I was just going to say instead of shouting
sorenity now you watch Frank Costanza shouting Sorenity now on
an episode of Seinfeld, you've seen fifteen times.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And I man now, Ever, since I had kids, I
don't think I've watched a single thing multiple times because
I don't have time.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
But back in the day, I would.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I would, you know, get home Friday night, get home late,
worn out from the week, watch a movie I've seen before,
at least part of it, and that's probably what was happening.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
At the end of a long week.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's a self regulation and it also fits in I
thought with I don't know how many people are like this,
but like my dad, who never would watch anything again.
It's just like I've seen that, why would I watch
it again. He's the most even keeled person I've ever
known him my life, so he doesn't need that for
whatever reason. So he doesn't his brain doesn't desire to
(10:06):
self regulation because he's already regulated.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So both ends of that fit together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
To me, or as secretly boiling inside and is about
to explode. He's held it in for eighty seven eighty
seven years, but he's only a human now. That's amazing.
I have no doubt there are people like that that
are no drama. We can deal with this, and yeah,
they don't need that. How interesting. Huh that makes perfect
(10:32):
sense and it's not laziness.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You say idiotic things, Yeah that is idiotic. Huh. Well,
I kind of like that.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
There's a a helpful, scientific reason why some people would
do it, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Hadn't thought about the other end of it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But I feel like people I've known who really watched
a lot of shows that they've seen before kind of
world a little all over the place emotionally, probably needed
more self regulating than maybe I do.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Or yeah, hot tempered, Yeah, how interesting. Yeah, I'm thinking
of various folks I know may need predictability, who really
enjoy the familiar in their lives. And many of them are,
you know, quite successful and interesting people. But I would
not describe them as placid. They're more fiery placid. Nobody's
(11:24):
ever described me as placid. No, not likely to so.
I like the angry Bostonian, the Massachusetts guy calling people
laughing Nazis for wearing a maga hat, sir, Like half
the voting population voted for the guy right again, acting
like it's some bizarre like you're some sort of out
(11:45):
there nut job, Nazi. I just speaking of perspectives, I
don't get who should.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Go home and watch some reruns of Friends of episodes
he's already seen.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He really should he play that clip again, Michael, and
then I'll set up twenty six? You remember which one
that was.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Blanking?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nazi? I don't see it either. Where'd it go?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Sixty seven? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
What are you gonna do yourself? You got my campus
that actually doubt actually a publish I don't care, nazif
do you understand me?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Take it off?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Taking white gold?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Trump had off. He's a mother and you're a Nazi punk.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You boo this boo oooo.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
This guy's a Trump supporter. Boom.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That's quite a boo. That is something that is something else?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All right? So now if I understand it correctly, Katie,
I don't want to give too much away, But a
man is confronting his neighbor for committing an act of
political protest. Should I say what it is? Or does
it become obvious in the clip? It becomes obvious? Okay,
all right, let's all enjoy it together.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Whateber is this twenty six.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Did you or didn't you?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Because I've got cameras up there facing you, get off
your side in the driveway now, I'm not on your
d This is the middle.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You are get off the hide parking area.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
my test?
Speaker 10 (13:32):
Now?
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Why did you throw fast food on the side of
my test? You two mashed potatoes on my car? What
is wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You sit here, you drive in, you drive out.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
You have jump cars. You drive in and you drive out.
That's why people down the driveways. You more.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Please be on TV Tonight's solid two hours.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That was a great finish. Drop it and you drive out.
That's what people do in their driveways.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You're more on.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That may be the Cliverly. I love that play that again,
that's great.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
What mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Here?
Speaker 10 (14:11):
Did you?
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Or didn't you? Because I've got cameras up there facing you,
get off yes, in the driveway now, I'm not only
this is the middle.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
You are get off my parking area.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
my test?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Now?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Why did you throw.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Fast food on the side of my test? You threw
mashed potatoes on my car? What is wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You sit here, you drive, you and you drive out.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You have jump cars, you driving and you drive out.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
That's why people know that they're driveways.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
More.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Oh my god, I seen out of signs.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I need more. That's that is?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
That is a classic like that might be a tease
for a reality show that's going to start.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
To because that made me want I need more. I
need more background.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I need to hear more of their conversations, Katie, whatever
else you do find this, is there more of that
argument anywhere?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
What do they look like?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Paypall doveway, they drive, they drive out driver.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You can't see the guy who's filming, but the woman,
she's late fifties, early sixties.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Short gray hair. I mean, just you know, typical. I'm
not aware.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I would identify mashed potatoes right off the bat. If
I saw them on my vehicle, I'd probably think something
worse than that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
So you can see her in the ring camera doing it,
and it's a good old KFC mashed potatoes there.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Huh, you drive, you drive out? You got cows on blocks?
You want to hear it one more time? The ending part?
I wish I could hear one more time. Yeah, we
just need to get to the end that is. That's
pretty good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I hate these people always exist and we just way
of being aware of them, because you know, it's not
like half the population is that crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I hate it when I'm so flummixed by someone that
I go into that voice like he's got at the end, tell.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
You and you drive that. That's why people go in
their driveways you more.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I can feel that emotion because I know what that
emotion is. When you're dealing with someone.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's like, how do you not understand this?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, oh god, dang it, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
For whatever reason, when stuff like that happens, I tend
to get really calm and.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Mean calm and mean yeah, like okay.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now now I'm going to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Oh I appreciate the pill away you're.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Bored calmon meaning is more frightening than the high pitched.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. I'm not saying it's a good quality. So why
is there a cult forming around Luigi Mangioni who killed
that poor elscare exec Strange times, folks.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We'll describe it next to Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching
their pearls about someone standing a murderer, when this is
the United States of America. As if we don't lionize criminals,
as if we don't have you know, we don't stan
murderers of all sorts, and we give them Netflix shows.
There's a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles, the
(17:41):
sort of mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels.
And you see that in moments like this.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That is the utterly unhinged. Taylor Lorenz, who was a
hot columnist for the New York Times than the Washington Posts.
She specialized in idea identifying normal, innocent people who said
anything politically incorrect, particularly in the wake of the George
Floyd thing or whatever, and she would find out who
(18:09):
they were, dox them, distribute their names online, and attempt
to ruin their lives for daring to step outside the orthodoxy.
She is a sick, sick woman. She's talking about the
Luigi Mangioni murder of the healthcare executive. She used the
term stan a couple of times. If you're too older
(18:30):
or on hip like me, I don't know what that means.
It's like a super fan becoming a great fan of somebody.
Here's one more clip, at least from the deranged moron
Taylor Lawrence.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
And I can tell you I saw the biggest audience
growth that I've ever seen because people were like, oh, somebody,
some journalists is actually speaking to the anger that we feel.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So you know, maybe we finish up.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
This is the interview she's doing on CNN with somebody
named Donnie O'Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Next clip, Michael.
Speaker 12 (19:04):
The women who got her outside coorsh in New York.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
So you're gonna see women especially that feel like, oh
my god. Right, like, here's this man who who's revolutionary,
who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart, He's a
person that seems this like this morally good man, which
is hard to find.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He gunned down a young father on the streets of
New York in cold blood because he didn't like something
about healthcare insurance, even though the young man who'd had
health problems was well served by his insurance company as
far as anybody can.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Tell, right, did you?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And he's morally good.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
This was that dark columnist for.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
The big papers.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That was an awful thing to say right there. Oh
my god. One more clip I'm.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
Sure you wouldn't like to be compared to a Trump supporter.
But some of some of how people cannot understand why
people have sympathies for MANGIONI yeah, it strikes me as
the same what as a media not understanding why people
support Trump. I totally agree it's because a lot of
people are just really really desperate.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
They want somebody to take on the system. They want
somebody to tear down these barbaric establishment institutions.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Taking on the system. There's lots of ways to take
on the system. Run for office, you know, form a group,
have a march, whatever. Shooting somebody in the back on
his way to work is not a way to take
on the system that.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
We allowately succeeded by somebody who just gets better security.
That is such an adolescent, idiotic and amoral approach.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It shocks the conscience that is.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I mean, I don't I don't know how you feel
like civilization can succeed if we start that's taking on,
you know, the big issues of our day.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I know I'll just go murder them in cold blood.
The people I disagree.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
With, Yeah, with no effect, right, you know, I'm crazy
angry about I don't know taxes. Taxes are too high,
So I'm just gonna murder an IRS agent or secretary
or just somebody anyway. As if that sh his nizzle
isn't bad enough, how about this? Luisi Manngiuni is a
(21:32):
saint according to his fans, Saint Luigi Patron Saint of
healthcare access. For all their posts read. The twenty six
year old accused killer is depicted online with a green mantle,
a red sacred heart, a gold halo in his hand
raised in benediction.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, you are some twisted human beings. You're hurting your cause,
as is often the case with these people. Normal people
who hear you this are way less likely to support
your universal health care belief than even before when they
heard you.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Right, you're crazy and stupid, and the things you think
are helping you are crazy and stupid. You know, somebody
like Taylor Lorenz is objectively not stupid. She is a
perfect example, though, of what I would call at least
like verbal intelligence, because she was a fairly successful columnist
for a while, but utterly lacking in wisdom or perspective,
(22:26):
I mean to the point of being like developmentally disabled.
The term used to be retarded. I mean that was
the official term. She has meant the moral retardation of
some sort. That's hard to picture. But anyway, there's more
moral retardation.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Here's a supporter who writes, I hope Luigi doesn't have
to die for us to receive free health care, like
Jesus had to die for us to receive forgiveness.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So they think it's going to lead to that.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Oh, but there's so much you get.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Like they're talking about the women who gather outside the
court young. He's young. He Smarty's more Lincoln you can buy.
You can buy devotional candles bearing mister Mangioni's image and
a prayer of Saint Luigi on the back, A Saint
Luigi Sherpa fleece Blanke. It'll set you back sixty nine
ninety nine. A coffee mug for twelve dollars, a necklace
for forty five dollars. A Patron Saint of Capitalism's Victims
(23:24):
T shirt or Luigi Mangioni are Patron Saint of Healthcare
T shirt. Both are twenty two ninety nine. You can
buy Brace yourselves, folks, A Saint Luigi Christmas Ornament for
sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, I'm starting to think it gets worse though.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Go ahead, You're starting to think that your anti capitalist crowd,
your Marxist crown, they're all morons. Remember that was my
main takeaway when we did we did. We had a
book club for one book. I think you me, Greg
and Tim, and we read that book Heaven on Earth
about Karl Marx. Yeah, and my takeaway was, he is
just a dumb, crappy guy.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I mean, he was just a market herself.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He lived off his lived off all his friends and
parents and like never did anything and it was a
cheat and a liar and just lazy. So he like
developed a worldview that would excuse his utter uselessness.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, and it's marks a lot of that crowd. Is
that way?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right, friends, here we go, here's where you despair
for humanity. But you know what, Frankly, once you get
where I am having despaired for humanity, it's kind of freeing.
It's relaxing. An account on givesend Go, a Christian crowdfunding site,
has raised more than eight hundred and thirty six thousand
dollars for mister Mangioni's legal defense nearly a million dollars
(24:49):
from a Christian crowdfunding site. He committed a cold blooded murder.
A donor there rights I cried on my knees to
God as a mother to keep you safe and mentally
calm Luigi. Another describes mister Mangioni as a father to millions.
The website offers three options to help mister Mangioni, give, share, pray, So.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Darn it, it's always tough with these.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
This is just the same as like, you know, the
assassins that want to kill Trump or school shooters are
lots of different examples. Okay, is this a sometimes terrorists
want to be terrorists? Is this a one off?
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Not?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
This person's mentally ill, This person's obviously mentally ill. Does
it have any greater significance when a whole bunch of
mentally ill people believe the same thing?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean, what is going on there?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Anybody who says that those last couple of comments those
people are mentally ill?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yes, yeah they are?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So is this just yet.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Another example of the Internet making it possible for someone
with aberrant ideas that not one in one hundred people
would agree with her buy or or not react with revulsion.
They find thousands of like minds. It reinforces them. They
get together, they raise their near a million dollars for
(26:10):
a cold blooded murderer in the name of some sort
of vague notion that the healthcare system sucks.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And it does, by the way, it really needs help
well right, and it could be improved. And I don't
believe the government taken over healthcare would be better for it.
But you get to believe that that's a perfectly valid
political position. But you don't get to murder people about it.
I mean, that's insane, obviously insane. See, there are a thing, yeah,
(26:36):
I care about a lot too, that you might disagree with.
Should I murder the people I don't agree with that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You might like?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I mean, where would this end? I mean, have you
thought this through, you dumbasses?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So a woman by the name of faith Bottom I
would change my last name is spelled differently, but nonetheless,
because I'm childish, wrote a piece about this whole thing,
and I'm going to hit you with the end of it.
It's hard to know what mister MANGIONI thinks of his
new fans in their iconography. In an old post on Twitter,
he recommended users look at an article lamenting that quote.
(27:11):
Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods. The elevation of
sainthood of an accused assassin seems a clear example of
how terrible those new gods are. Mister Mangioni's fans, the
ones wearing the T shirts and buying Pious Luigi keychains,
will only get louder proclaiming him a martyr. More than
forty percent of Americans age eighteen to twenty nine think
(27:32):
the shooting of a healthcare the healthcare executive was acceptable
or somewhat acceptable. More than forty percent, according to a poll,
the sanctimonious fervor won't stop anytime soon. It's blasphemy, of course,
the idea of saints is glorified killers, and probably few
proclaiming his sanctity are actually religious. What all this kitch
shows is an unserious nation that wants a folk hero.
(27:54):
Mister Mangioni should not be it.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And then there's the weird aspect. I'd like to be able.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
To run the experiment where you have the exact same
set of circumstances but he's not good looking.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
On how much that will have an effect on the
whole thing. Wow. Wow, And or somebody commits a cold
blooded murder of a planned parenthood.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Executive, right instance, if this guy didn't have dreamy eyes,
how different would the whole story be. I don't know,
and played a role there definitely in the beginning. We
all know that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, and continues to I think absolutely. I
think you know.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Everybody. We've talked about this for ages.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Psychological studies have shown that people react more positively to
the attractive they assume they're more competent, more intelligent, nicer people, whatever,
than they actually are. And if you're a stupid person,
I'd imagine that sort of pull is even stronger. I mean,
like I told the story of the person in a
(28:57):
line of work. I won't describe because she never did
anything to hurt anybody as far as I'm concerned, as
far as I'm aware. But she's very very attractive girl.
I mean, like you, you had to discipline yourself as
a heterosexual male to look away that I had to
interact with over the course of several quite a few weeks,
(29:17):
and I finally got a chance to talk to her
at length, and she was a vacuus pinhead. I wanted
to talk about nothing but celebrity gossip and and so.
But I recognize that, you know, uh so, yeah, if
you are a half whit, Yeah, that that gravity must
(29:40):
be irresistible, that he's good looking. I don't I don't
know what to make of all this except to despair
for humanity. That's right earlier, yes, right, yeah, you gotta
put that in hand.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Got to put that in the mix, the old despair
for humanity. Uh.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
We will finish strong mixt.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Tomorrow's tax today. We'll have some good tax stuff for you.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Some of the stats that we all should be reminded
of every year, how many people don't pay taxes, and
what a small amount of people pay most of the taxes,
and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I've been reading up on standardized deductions. Oh, I love
talking about that.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I've been reading up on strep throat because I think
I have that, and I've never had it before, and
I've got them in like in an hour, I've got
an appointment. But the infection is generally transmitted by direct
contact with the mucus or swerves of someone else with strap.
I'm almost positive that I've come in contact with nobody's
source in the last several days.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Gulley means sentence, it is, but I'm like, I'm pretty
dang sure.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
That I haven't. So I would like to launch into
a comedic riff on that scene, but it's too disgusting
even for me.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I also, I didn't have to have to tell this tomorrow.
I got rear ended in my two week old cyberbeast
over the weekend. Oh no, I've never had a car
that short amount on time before it got wrecked. Anyway,
I'll talk about that tomorrow. I wanted to get this
clip on again. We've already played it twice. It's that good.
It's in the contender for Clip of the Year. Gail King,
(31:23):
Katy Perry, and some other women got shot into space
today and when they got down they talked to Gail King,
Oprah's friend and this is how it went.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
How would you describe it?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's very difficult because you're you're floating. But the best
part was when we got back in.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Our seats after zero G's Katie sang, what.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
A wonderful world.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
She did that nice, She said, what a wonderful I
see dreams?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Oh yes, yes, yes, oh. Because We've been asking her
to sing all the time, and she wouldn't and she wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
And then because everybody said sing, roar, sing fire and
she said, it's not about me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I wanted to talk about the world.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Wow, you know, is that nice? You got to ask
her about that?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
That is so so hard to take the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
So you were asking Katy Perry during the coolest thing
you've ever done in your life, getting to go up
in a racket and everything like that, to sing some
of her hits on.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
The way back down. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's such a lame thing.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It is. It is so lame. And then that woman's
reaction to she sang Order for War. She reacted like
she just saw her child. Oh see for the first
time after or something?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh she did?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Did everybody cry?
Speaker 8 (32:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Why because they're so weird it out that you begged
her to sing.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Dude, we're dudes, Katie.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Are we overreacting here in our mocking of women and
their emotions?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Not even a little bit?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I mean, come on, it is so unspeakably lame to
badger performer. I mean, you're in a fundraiser with your
favorite music, sing your hit for me?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Sing it.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, that makes you an ignorantus and an a hole.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
Wow, he holes in space.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
It's final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I'm strong again.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
And.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
It's strong. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap things up for the day. There he is Michaelangelo,
our technical director. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
If that was clip of the year, this is gonna
be co clip of the years.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You drive in, you drive out, you have jump cars,
you drive.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
That's what people the driveways more.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I could not love that clip.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Morn Michael is so right, Katie Steam Newswoman.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
That reporter needed to ask a follow up, and yet
Gail King to name names who asked Katie Perry to
sing roarer up there?
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I want to know was.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
It Bezos and his fiance wasn't I'm.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Surprised Katy Perry didn't roll her eyes so hard that
it set the ship off its path.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, no kidding, Jack.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Final thought for us, Ah, this is a health tip
for you. I have swollen lymph nodes and chills and
a sore throat. Try not to come in contact with
the direct contact with the mucus or sores of someone
with strap indirect contact.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
That's fine, that's fine. My final thought.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Having intended the Masters over the weekend, the Master's golf
tournament is absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
One of the best parts. Nobody screaming good no or.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Mashed potatoes after somebody hits it, because if you do,
they'll throw your ass out. It's called standards. If you
have high standards, you get better behavior. It works every time, and.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
We need more of that everywhere, schools, movie theaters, naming
the place.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I'm Strong and Getty. We'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
God bless America.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I think it takes two to tango. That's in heaven.
Speaker 10 (35:12):
I think your star spangled all so good, so good,
let's go with a You know, I kind of consider
myself the number one female pleasure in device on Earth.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It really is that things that things number two at best.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Wow, arm Strong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And no He.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A group is asking New Jersey Transit to make commutes
more joyful by putting googly eyes on the front of trains,
so at least you'll see a friendly face coming to
help when you're pushed.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
On the track. Oof, yanks. What strep throat?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's say, streptocockle infection of your throatle region Streptococcus sorius.
I can't remember I took a micro bio it was
a long time ago, and I may have been stone.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And were they bigger than the China or Oh? I
so need a Tyrannosaurus for lunch. So I have a
doctor's appointment, but I have the worst store throat I've
ever had. But my windpipe feels like it's like the
size of a little tiny straw, just like it's just
so tight.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Sounds like you have a raging infection of some sort.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I don't know how did that guy? Or allergies anyway?
So if I do have strepp, what they do put
me on an imbodic yep. How contagious is strep throat?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Uh? Pretty? I don't remember more.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Or less than chlamydia. Oh my lord, well it's certainly
spread differently. I don't remember, you know, having raised three kids,
that's like an important part of your you know, knowledge
and techniques and the rest.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We've never had a strap in our house. I've never
had it. My kids haven't had it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Really anyway, everybody got their tonsils still.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
In all we all got our tonsils. Yeah you're talking.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I do, but I'm reading on the Google machine that
strap is worse in people that have tonsils still, and
it's contagious through respiratory droplets.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay, yes, there you go, so very contagious. My eldest Kate,
she had her tonsils removed because she got strep throats
so off.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh really yeah, yeah, you'll get my tonsils when you
prime out of my cold, dead hand hanging on to these.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What are your tonsoles doing in your hands? How does
that even work?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Got a number of things you want to get to
this hour, including this story, which I found really dang interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Why do people watch a TV show.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Or movie they've already seen and there's actually science behind
it that I found. First of all, makes perfect sense.
It also makes perfect sense why some people like my dad,
for instance, would never.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Watch a show.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I mean way back in the day when you know
there are three channels and all that sort of stuff,
and TV shows went into reruns in the summer. He
would never I've seen this, and you get up and leave.
He would never watch something twice. It fits in perfectly
with the science.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Wow, I can't wait because I rarely do. But there
are a couple of movies I'll watch again.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They're so good. Okay, I'll stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
We haven't mentioned this news story that happened in Pennsylvania
over the weekend, I think Saturday night.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
An arrest after what police called an act of arson
at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, where he and his
family had gathered to celebrate the first night of Passover.
The governor says he woke up to police banging on
the door around two am. He and his family quickly evacuating.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They're curly working on getting everybody evacuated as about twenty
five people inside.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
The authorities are investigating whether the arson could have been
motivated by the Governor's Jewish faith. The suspect was able
to breach the fence here at the Governor's mansion and
make it inside the residence where he started the fire.
He's facing several charges, including attempted murder.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, the guy not only got onto the grounds of
the governor's mansion, got into the freaking mansion and was
in there.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Long enough to set a for real fire.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I mean, when I first heard the story, I thought, Okay,
how much of a fire. I mean, I don't know
if you've seen the damage to the mansion, but that
was a dang fire. It was, you know, a real,
you're in threat fire, which is kind of hard to
imagine with a you know, modern systems that we've got
and everything like that, that I assumed that they would
have it a governor's mansion.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, the whole thing's pretty troubling. I guess the family
was in a different part and it's like a multi
building thing, I think, like a complex more than a house.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But I don't know specifically.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Well, yeah, but I don't know how comforted you would
be if you got out of your house and found
out he was in another part of the house where
he started to fighting. The guy not come the guy
that broke into your home while you were asleep without
anybody catching him. Are you hearing him and was there
long enough with the intent to kill you? Yeah, that
would be unnerving. And of course he's got a family
and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But you shut this the children.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yeah, he gave it a little speech about political violence
that I thought was pretty good of nonpartisan. We got
to stop this, We gotta we gotta quit accepting violence,
which I agree with one hundred percent. But we've been
accepting it the way too many people accept it on
the other side. Whatever side here is, you accept it
on your side, not the other side.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, the list is growing long. Two assassination attempts on Trump,
an assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh, the shooting at the
baseball game a number of years ago, just example after example.
It can't you know, you'd be I'd be tempted to say,
you know, you don't want to make too much of
a deal over one nut job who's hearing voices in
(05:33):
his head. But there's undeniably a pattern that this is
an exceptional I'm not exceptional. Accept a bull option for
various you know, semi deranged vehicle.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, the blase attitude of mainstream media toward burning down
all the teslas. Does that make this sort of thing
more likely or less likely?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Obviously more likely, Speaking of which I'd like to, after
a break, get a little bit into the cult of
Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Wow, that's troubling.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The demented young man who assassinated a healthcare executive on
the streets of New York and the admiration for him,
and and something like a religious cult has formed around
him that you know, I wasn't aware of, because you know,
it's not the sort of people I hang with who
would get drawn into that. But it's a strange and
(06:25):
troubling tale. Man.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Then, how much of it has to do with the
fact that he's good looking, which is also disturbing?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, like holmost sapiens as a species.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So dumb, so dumbed. So that's a good one. All
the stuff we teased, good stuff. I want you to
stay here.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
What are you gonna do yourself? My campus actually actually
a public I don't care. Nazif you understand me, take
it off, take a white gold Trump had off. He's
a you can lose there, and you're a Nazi punk
you boo this.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Whooo this guy that jumps apporterble.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Real? Is that real? Yeah? I don't be danged unhinged.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, i'd say which I wanted. Something is showing the
unhinjuredness of modern life to get into this story. And
it also reminds me of something an old boss of
ours said to us one time that people don't know
what they like, but they like what they know, which
is pretty good. Yeah, and kind of fits in with this.
(07:41):
Some study done by the University of Chicago, and this
is about watching a TV show, an episode of a
show you've already seen, or a movie you've already seen.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Why you do that?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And why some people don't rewatching the same show again? Man,
my voice really kind of craps cracks sometimes when.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I yeah, it's rough. You need to get to the
doctor because I'm dying. Yeah, everyone want to try it all.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dying jack slowly from time.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That is right, Rewatching the same show again and again
isn't a sign of laziness, says the University of Chicago study.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I never thought of it as laziness.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Did anybody think it was? Why did laz Because it's.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Not much work to switch to a different show.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yes, that's a stupid thing to say.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's actually a form of emotional regulation. When life feels
overwhelming or unpredictable, your brain craves familiarity. Watching a show
you've already know gives you a sense of control, comfort,
and stability. There are no surprises, there's no tension. You
know exactly what happens next, and that predictability helps calm
your nervous system.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Wow, yeah, makes perfect sense. It does make sense.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Rewatching provides a way to restore energy and regain a
sense of peace. It's moments when the world feels uncertainly
your brain reaches for what it knows. It's a self
regulation mechanism. I know exactly how the this is going
to play out. There's a bunch of things going on
in my life in the world. I don't know how
they're going to play out. I'm feeling crazy. I mean,
these aren't conscious thoughts. But I'm going to watch this
(09:08):
TV show and I know exactly. I know that Chandler's
about to run through the door. I know exactly what
he's gonna say to Monica, and it's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So I was just going to say instead of shouting
sorenity now you watch Frank Costanza shouting Sorenity now on
an episode of Seinfeld, you've seen fifteen times.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And I man now, Ever, since I had kids, I
don't think I've watched a single thing multiple times because
I don't have time.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
But back in the day, I would.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I would, you know, get home Friday night, get home late,
worn out from the week, watch a movie I've seen before,
at least part of it, and that's probably what was happening.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
At the end of a long week.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's a self regulation and it also fits in I
thought with I don't know how many people are like this,
but like my dad, who never would watch anything again.
It's just like I've seen that, why would I watch
it again. He's the most even keeled person I've ever
known him my life, so he doesn't need that for
whatever reason. So he doesn't his brain doesn't desire to
(10:06):
self regulation because he's already regulated.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So both ends of that fit together.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
To me, or as secretly boiling inside and is about
to explode. He's held it in for eighty seven eighty
seven years, but he's only a human now. That's amazing.
I have no doubt there are people like that that
are no drama. We can deal with this, and yeah,
they don't need that. How interesting. Huh that makes perfect
(10:32):
sense and it's not laziness.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You say idiotic things, Yeah that is idiotic. Huh. Well,
I kind of like that.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
There's a a helpful, scientific reason why some people would
do it, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Hadn't thought about the other end of it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But I feel like people I've known who really watched
a lot of shows that they've seen before kind of
world a little all over the place emotionally, probably needed
more self regulating than maybe I do.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Or yeah, hot tempered, Yeah, how interesting. Yeah, I'm thinking
of various folks I know may need predictability, who really
enjoy the familiar in their lives. And many of them are,
you know, quite successful and interesting people. But I would
not describe them as placid. They're more fiery placid. Nobody's
(11:24):
ever described me as placid. No, not likely to so.
I like the angry Bostonian, the Massachusetts guy calling people
laughing Nazis for wearing a maga hat, sir, Like half
the voting population voted for the guy right again, acting
like it's some bizarre like you're some sort of out
(11:45):
there nut job, Nazi. I just speaking of perspectives, I
don't get who should.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Go home and watch some reruns of Friends of episodes
he's already seen.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He really should he play that clip again, Michael, and
then I'll set up twenty six? You remember which one
that was.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Blanking?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nazi? I don't see it either. Where'd it go?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Sixty seven? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
What are you gonna do yourself? You got my campus
that actually doubt actually a publish I don't care, nazif
do you understand me?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Take it off?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Taking white gold?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Trump had off. He's a mother and you're a Nazi punk.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You boo this boo oooo.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
This guy's a Trump supporter. Boom.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That's quite a boo. That is something that is something else?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All right? So now if I understand it correctly, Katie,
I don't want to give too much away, But a
man is confronting his neighbor for committing an act of
political protest. Should I say what it is? Or does
it become obvious in the clip? It becomes obvious? Okay,
all right, let's all enjoy it together.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Whateber is this twenty six.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Did you or didn't you?
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Because I've got cameras up there facing you, get off
your side in the driveway now, I'm not on your
d This is the middle.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You are get off the hide parking area.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
my test?
Speaker 10 (13:32):
Now?
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Why did you throw fast food on the side of
my test? You two mashed potatoes on my car? What
is wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You sit here, you drive in, you drive out.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
You have jump cars. You drive in and you drive out.
That's why people down the driveways. You more.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Please be on TV Tonight's solid two hours.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That was a great finish. Drop it and you drive out.
That's what people do in their driveways.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You're more on.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That may be the Cliverly. I love that play that again,
that's great.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
What mashed potatoes on the side of my car?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Here?
Speaker 10 (14:11):
Did you?
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Or didn't you? Because I've got cameras up there facing you,
get off yes, in the driveway now, I'm not only
this is the middle.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
You are get off my parking area.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Listen. Did you throw fast food on the side of
my test?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Now?
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Why did you throw.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Fast food on the side of my test? You threw
mashed potatoes on my car? What is wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You sit here, you drive, you and you drive out.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You have jump cars, you driving and you drive out.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
That's why people know that they're driveways.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
More.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Oh my god, I seen out of signs.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I need more. That's that is?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
That is a classic like that might be a tease
for a reality show that's going to start.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
To because that made me want I need more. I
need more background.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I need to hear more of their conversations, Katie, whatever
else you do find this, is there more of that
argument anywhere?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
What do they look like?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Paypall doveway, they drive, they drive out driver.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You can't see the guy who's filming, but the woman,
she's late fifties, early sixties.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Short gray hair. I mean, just you know, typical. I'm
not aware.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I would identify mashed potatoes right off the bat. If
I saw them on my vehicle, I'd probably think something
worse than that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
So you can see her in the ring camera doing it,
and it's a good old KFC mashed potatoes there.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Huh, you drive, you drive out? You got cows on blocks?
You want to hear it one more time? The ending part?
I wish I could hear one more time. Yeah, we
just need to get to the end that is. That's
pretty good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I hate these people always exist and we just way
of being aware of them, because you know, it's not
like half the population is that crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I hate it when I'm so flummixed by someone that
I go into that voice like he's got at the end, tell.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
You and you drive that. That's why people go in
their driveways you more.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I can feel that emotion because I know what that
emotion is. When you're dealing with someone.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It's like, how do you not understand this?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, oh god, dang it, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
For whatever reason, when stuff like that happens, I tend
to get really calm and.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Mean calm and mean yeah, like okay.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now now I'm going to hurt you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Oh I appreciate the pill away you're.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Bored calmon meaning is more frightening than the high pitched.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. I'm not saying it's a good quality. So why
is there a cult forming around Luigi Mangioni who killed
that poor elscare exec Strange times, folks.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We'll describe it next to Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
Hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching
their pearls about someone standing a murderer, when this is
the United States of America. As if we don't lionize criminals,
as if we don't have you know, we don't stan
murderers of all sorts, and we give them Netflix shows.
There's a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles, the
(17:41):
sort of mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels.
And you see that in moments like this.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That is the utterly unhinged. Taylor Lorenz, who was a
hot columnist for the New York Times than the Washington Posts.
She specialized in idea identifying normal, innocent people who said
anything politically incorrect, particularly in the wake of the George
Floyd thing or whatever, and she would find out who
(18:09):
they were, dox them, distribute their names online, and attempt
to ruin their lives for daring to step outside the orthodoxy.
She is a sick, sick woman. She's talking about the
Luigi Mangioni murder of the healthcare executive. She used the
term stan a couple of times. If you're too older
(18:30):
or on hip like me, I don't know what that means.
It's like a super fan becoming a great fan of somebody.
Here's one more clip, at least from the deranged moron
Taylor Lawrence.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
And I can tell you I saw the biggest audience
growth that I've ever seen because people were like, oh, somebody,
some journalists is actually speaking to the anger that we feel.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So you know, maybe we finish up.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
This is the interview she's doing on CNN with somebody
named Donnie O'Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Next clip, Michael.
Speaker 12 (19:04):
The women who got her outside coorsh in New York.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
So you're gonna see women especially that feel like, oh
my god. Right, like, here's this man who who's revolutionary,
who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart, He's a
person that seems this like this morally good man, which
is hard to find.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He gunned down a young father on the streets of
New York in cold blood because he didn't like something
about healthcare insurance, even though the young man who'd had
health problems was well served by his insurance company as
far as anybody can.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Tell, right, did you?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And he's morally good.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
This was that dark columnist for.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
The big papers.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That was an awful thing to say right there. Oh
my god. One more clip I'm.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
Sure you wouldn't like to be compared to a Trump supporter.
But some of some of how people cannot understand why
people have sympathies for MANGIONI yeah, it strikes me as
the same what as a media not understanding why people
support Trump. I totally agree it's because a lot of
people are just really really desperate.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
They want somebody to take on the system. They want
somebody to tear down these barbaric establishment institutions.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Taking on the system. There's lots of ways to take
on the system. Run for office, you know, form a group,
have a march, whatever. Shooting somebody in the back on
his way to work is not a way to take
on the system that.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
We allowately succeeded by somebody who just gets better security.
That is such an adolescent, idiotic and amoral approach.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It shocks the conscience that is.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I mean, I don't I don't know how you feel
like civilization can succeed if we start that's taking on,
you know, the big issues of our day.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I know I'll just go murder them in cold blood.
The people I disagree.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
With, Yeah, with no effect, right, you know, I'm crazy
angry about I don't know taxes. Taxes are too high,
So I'm just gonna murder an IRS agent or secretary
or just somebody anyway. As if that sh his nizzle
isn't bad enough, how about this? Luisi Manngiuni is a
(21:32):
saint according to his fans, Saint Luigi Patron Saint of
healthcare access. For all their posts read. The twenty six
year old accused killer is depicted online with a green mantle,
a red sacred heart, a gold halo in his hand
raised in benediction.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, you are some twisted human beings. You're hurting your cause,
as is often the case with these people. Normal people
who hear you this are way less likely to support
your universal health care belief than even before when they
heard you.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Right, you're crazy and stupid, and the things you think
are helping you are crazy and stupid. You know, somebody
like Taylor Lorenz is objectively not stupid. She is a
perfect example, though, of what I would call at least
like verbal intelligence, because she was a fairly successful columnist
for a while, but utterly lacking in wisdom or perspective,
(22:26):
I mean to the point of being like developmentally disabled.
The term used to be retarded. I mean that was
the official term. She has meant the moral retardation of
some sort. That's hard to picture. But anyway, there's more
moral retardation.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Here's a supporter who writes, I hope Luigi doesn't have
to die for us to receive free health care, like
Jesus had to die for us to receive forgiveness.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So they think it's going to lead to that.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Oh, but there's so much you get.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Like they're talking about the women who gather outside the
court young. He's young. He Smarty's more Lincoln you can buy.
You can buy devotional candles bearing mister Mangioni's image and
a prayer of Saint Luigi on the back, A Saint
Luigi Sherpa fleece Blanke. It'll set you back sixty nine
ninety nine. A coffee mug for twelve dollars, a necklace
for forty five dollars. A Patron Saint of Capitalism's Victims
(23:24):
T shirt or Luigi Mangioni are Patron Saint of Healthcare
T shirt. Both are twenty two ninety nine. You can
buy Brace yourselves, folks, A Saint Luigi Christmas Ornament for
sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, I'm starting to think it gets worse though.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Go ahead, You're starting to think that your anti capitalist crowd,
your Marxist crown, they're all morons. Remember that was my
main takeaway when we did we did. We had a
book club for one book. I think you me, Greg
and Tim, and we read that book Heaven on Earth
about Karl Marx. Yeah, and my takeaway was, he is
just a dumb, crappy guy.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I mean, he was just a market herself.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He lived off his lived off all his friends and
parents and like never did anything and it was a
cheat and a liar and just lazy. So he like
developed a worldview that would excuse his utter uselessness.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, and it's marks a lot of that crowd. Is
that way?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right, friends, here we go, here's where you despair
for humanity. But you know what, Frankly, once you get
where I am having despaired for humanity, it's kind of freeing.
It's relaxing. An account on givesend Go, a Christian crowdfunding site,
has raised more than eight hundred and thirty six thousand
dollars for mister Mangioni's legal defense nearly a million dollars
(24:49):
from a Christian crowdfunding site. He committed a cold blooded murder.
A donor there rights I cried on my knees to
God as a mother to keep you safe and mentally
calm Luigi. Another describes mister Mangioni as a father to millions.
The website offers three options to help mister Mangioni, give, share, pray, So.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Darn it, it's always tough with these.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
This is just the same as like, you know, the
assassins that want to kill Trump or school shooters are
lots of different examples. Okay, is this a sometimes terrorists
want to be terrorists? Is this a one off?
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Not?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
This person's mentally ill, This person's obviously mentally ill. Does
it have any greater significance when a whole bunch of
mentally ill people believe the same thing?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean, what is going on there?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Anybody who says that those last couple of comments those
people are mentally ill?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yes, yeah they are?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So is this just yet.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Another example of the Internet making it possible for someone
with aberrant ideas that not one in one hundred people
would agree with her buy or or not react with revulsion.
They find thousands of like minds. It reinforces them. They
get together, they raise their near a million dollars for
(26:10):
a cold blooded murderer in the name of some sort
of vague notion that the healthcare system sucks.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And it does, by the way, it really needs help
well right, and it could be improved. And I don't
believe the government taken over healthcare would be better for it.
But you get to believe that that's a perfectly valid
political position. But you don't get to murder people about it.
I mean, that's insane, obviously insane. See, there are a thing, yeah,
(26:36):
I care about a lot too, that you might disagree with.
Should I murder the people I don't agree with that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You might like?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I mean, where would this end? I mean, have you
thought this through, you dumbasses?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So a woman by the name of faith Bottom I
would change my last name is spelled differently, but nonetheless,
because I'm childish, wrote a piece about this whole thing,
and I'm going to hit you with the end of it.
It's hard to know what mister MANGIONI thinks of his
new fans in their iconography. In an old post on Twitter,
he recommended users look at an article lamenting that quote.
(27:11):
Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods. The elevation of
sainthood of an accused assassin seems a clear example of
how terrible those new gods are. Mister Mangioni's fans, the
ones wearing the T shirts and buying Pious Luigi keychains,
will only get louder proclaiming him a martyr. More than
forty percent of Americans age eighteen to twenty nine think
(27:32):
the shooting of a healthcare the healthcare executive was acceptable
or somewhat acceptable. More than forty percent, according to a poll,
the sanctimonious fervor won't stop anytime soon. It's blasphemy, of course,
the idea of saints is glorified killers, and probably few
proclaiming his sanctity are actually religious. What all this kitch
shows is an unserious nation that wants a folk hero.
(27:54):
Mister Mangioni should not be it.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And then there's the weird aspect. I'd like to be able.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
To run the experiment where you have the exact same
set of circumstances but he's not good looking.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
On how much that will have an effect on the
whole thing. Wow. Wow, And or somebody commits a cold
blooded murder of a planned parenthood.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Executive, right instance, if this guy didn't have dreamy eyes,
how different would the whole story be. I don't know,
and played a role there definitely in the beginning. We
all know that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, and continues to I think absolutely. I
think you know.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Everybody. We've talked about this for ages.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Psychological studies have shown that people react more positively to
the attractive they assume they're more competent, more intelligent, nicer people, whatever,
than they actually are. And if you're a stupid person,
I'd imagine that sort of pull is even stronger. I mean,
like I told the story of the person in a
(28:57):
line of work. I won't describe because she never did
anything to hurt anybody as far as I'm concerned, as
far as I'm aware. But she's very very attractive girl.
I mean, like you, you had to discipline yourself as
a heterosexual male to look away that I had to
interact with over the course of several quite a few weeks,
(29:17):
and I finally got a chance to talk to her
at length, and she was a vacuus pinhead. I wanted
to talk about nothing but celebrity gossip and and so.
But I recognize that, you know, uh so, yeah, if
you are a half whit, Yeah, that that gravity must
(29:40):
be irresistible, that he's good looking. I don't I don't
know what to make of all this except to despair
for humanity. That's right earlier, yes, right, yeah, you gotta
put that in hand.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Got to put that in the mix, the old despair
for humanity. Uh.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
We will finish strong mixt.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Tomorrow's tax today. We'll have some good tax stuff for you.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Some of the stats that we all should be reminded
of every year, how many people don't pay taxes, and
what a small amount of people pay most of the taxes,
and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I've been reading up on standardized deductions. Oh, I love
talking about that.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I've been reading up on strep throat because I think
I have that, and I've never had it before, and
I've got them in like in an hour, I've got
an appointment. But the infection is generally transmitted by direct
contact with the mucus or swerves of someone else with strap.
I'm almost positive that I've come in contact with nobody's
source in the last several days.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Gulley means sentence, it is, but I'm like, I'm pretty
dang sure.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
That I haven't. So I would like to launch into
a comedic riff on that scene, but it's too disgusting
even for me.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I also, I didn't have to have to tell this tomorrow.
I got rear ended in my two week old cyberbeast
over the weekend. Oh no, I've never had a car
that short amount on time before it got wrecked. Anyway,
I'll talk about that tomorrow. I wanted to get this
clip on again. We've already played it twice. It's that good.
It's in the contender for Clip of the Year. Gail King,
(31:23):
Katy Perry, and some other women got shot into space
today and when they got down they talked to Gail King,
Oprah's friend and this is how it went.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
How would you describe it?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's very difficult because you're you're floating. But the best
part was when we got back in.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Our seats after zero G's Katie sang, what.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
A wonderful world.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
She did that nice, She said, what a wonderful I
see dreams?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Oh yes, yes, yes, oh. Because We've been asking her
to sing all the time, and she wouldn't and she wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
And then because everybody said sing, roar, sing fire and
she said, it's not about me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I wanted to talk about the world.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Wow, you know, is that nice? You got to ask
her about that?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
That is so so hard to take the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
So you were asking Katy Perry during the coolest thing
you've ever done in your life, getting to go up
in a racket and everything like that, to sing some
of her hits on.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
The way back down. What the hell?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's such a lame thing.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It is. It is so lame. And then that woman's
reaction to she sang Order for War. She reacted like
she just saw her child. Oh see for the first
time after or something?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh she did?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Did everybody cry?
Speaker 8 (32:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Why because they're so weird it out that you begged
her to sing.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Dude, we're dudes, Katie.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Are we overreacting here in our mocking of women and
their emotions?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Not even a little bit?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I mean, come on, it is so unspeakably lame to
badger performer. I mean, you're in a fundraiser with your
favorite music, sing your hit for me?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Sing it.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, that makes you an ignorantus and an a hole.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
Wow, he holes in space.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
It's final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I'm strong again.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
And.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
It's strong. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap things up for the day. There he is Michaelangelo,
our technical director. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 9 (33:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
If that was clip of the year, this is gonna
be co clip of the years.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You drive in, you drive out, you have jump cars,
you drive.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
That's what people the driveways more.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I could not love that clip.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Morn Michael is so right, Katie Steam Newswoman.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
That reporter needed to ask a follow up, and yet
Gail King to name names who asked Katie Perry to
sing roarer up there?
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I want to know was.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
It Bezos and his fiance wasn't I'm.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Surprised Katy Perry didn't roll her eyes so hard that
it set the ship off its path.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, no kidding, Jack.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Final thought for us, Ah, this is a health tip
for you. I have swollen lymph nodes and chills and
a sore throat. Try not to come in contact with
the direct contact with the mucus or sores of someone
