If you want more of us, Armstrong and Getty, find our podcast, Armstrong and Getty on demand. Now let's get back to the best weekend talk show in America. I'm such a king, I can't get a ballroom approved. Pretty amazing, man. I'm a king. If I was a king, I would be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king. Trump in a private setting in the White House that got inadvertently released, I guess. It's pretty interesting to watch. He, I think I retweeted it. He just sound, he sounds a lot different than you're used to hearing him talking to friends and stuff. He's just hanging out. Yeah, we've had more than one beloved listener point out that he has, I think in the art of the dealer in other writings said he attend intentionally thinks about what he says and he keeps it as simple as possible. So a lot of his hesitation, his repetition and stuff is he doesn't want to get into detail and he's stopping himself from getting into detail, which I find curious because I find that one, that clip and the one where he jokes about Macron's wife, punching him in the face, much better communication than his usual public, you know, odd cadence. But one thing you got to say about Trump is he does stuff. He doesn't hem and haw about studies and the rest of it. He does stuff sometimes for good, sometimes for ill. See Iran, who knows. But also the space program has gotten a kick in the pants and is moving forward at top speed. The Artemis mission blast off yesterday was super cool. I think things are going well other than the somewhat troublesome problem Jack brought up earlier. Yeah, they had a problem with the fan in the bathroom, which I guess sucks the defecate out of you when you have to go potty. No, I think you push it out the usual way because that would be very uncomfortable. I was assuming they put a vacuum tube up against your no, I don't think that's right. No, indeed. No, good Lord. But anyway, the fan was not working. So there was a chance that it was going to be floating around, just floating around the cabin and you don't want that, I assume. Fecal matter. Exactly. So Dr. Johnny Depp, right. So yeah, I hope they repair that for a number of different reasons. But hell of a thing to go. I'm sitting on however many billions of dollars worth of technology. You blasted me into space and I got to fix the toilet. And then the S hits the fan, exactly. Exactly. Well, that's what you try to avoid. So the New York Times interestingly with quite a piece about the race for dominance of the moon between the United States and China. Good, because it's stunning to me that not a single news story I've heard about this includes that. That is the entire reason we're doing it. I mean, you can talk about how it's the first half Asian Jewish woman to ever go into space. And you can talk about the various experiments they're going to do, which are interesting and fascinating and cool. But that's not the main driving force just like it wasn't. They got us to the moon in the first place. It was we were worried the Soviet Union was getting ahead of us in the space race and they were going to, you know, send nuclear missiles up behind ends. I'm going to drop a truth bomb on you right now like you're the Ayatollah. Race yourself. Virtually all of our media would be embarrassed by, they can't bring themselves to be seen rooting for the United States of America. If we are in a race that we must win, they won't even admit that because then they would have to like be pro-US. It's how sick they are. I'm sure you're right. I also think there's a ton of people that have no idea that this is about a space race with China. It's not about the medical experiment we're going to try to do. So it's ignorance as well. I would agree. Yeah. So let's become unignorant, shall we? Both the US and China want to build outposts around the moon's south pole and hope to tap frozen water, hydrogen and helium there. Both countries plan to build nuclear reactors on the moon to power lunar bases from which they can launch missions into deep space. And it's the new frontier and whoever gets there first will have the big say in setting the rules. It's incredibly important. Both countries want to build nuclear reactors on the moon. Exactly. And mine it for resources to build exploration and or I don't know, just off the top of my head, military capabilities there. In my lifetime, and I've got one foot in the grave, in my lifetime, there is going to be a military standoff about space between us and China. Yeah. That could easily, you know, play itself out on the ground. Yeah. We're firing, you know, rockets at each other in the, you know, South China Sea over the fact that, hey, you don't get to land that rocket there where we're building our nuclear reactor. Oh, or at least they will take out some key satellite that, you know, powers the cell phone service for the eastern seaboard and we will retaliate by taking out one of their main satellites. And then there will be hasty diplomatic talks. Something like that is practically guaranteed to happen. How is it that every story about the moon doesn't include this? It's a space race with China. I know I'd like to flatter ourselves that that's why people enjoy the show. Yet the lack of curiosity in the media is just so amazing to me. Anyway, back to the main story. According to Jared Isaacman, who's the NASA administrator in terms of the space race, they may be early in recent history suggests we might be late. The U.S. wants to be back on the moon by 2028, two years ahead of China's target. But as he was pointing out, we're being optimistic and they're being conservative in their numbers. And here's where it gets interesting and look, there are advantages to having a dictatorship. It's unholy and violates all the laws of nature and God. But it's handy in some ways. China is pursuing its lunar ambitions with singular formidable focus and they have several advantages over us. Experts say China's edge lies in its centralized control, which allows it to plan and fund projects for decades at a time. And no like whipsawing back and forth from one administration to another. Its robotics-based missions have already gone where we have not. China is the only nation to land on and retrieve samples from the far side of the moon, the hemisphere that always faces away from Earth. This summer China's seventh robotic mission, Changi seven, will explore the lunar south pole and probably exploit the lunar penguins. Yes. How much energy do they put into making sure they have racially and sexual orientation diversity among their astronauts? Ha, ha. I know. So they also point out that China's immediate ambition is a bit leaner. Chinese astronauts plan to land on a relatively accessible near side of the moon where Neil Armstrong landed more or less in 1969, your uncle, Jack. American astronauts are aiming for the moon's south pole. They do mention that the US has gotten serious, mostly under Trump, and overhauled the program to have more launches to test components, gain confidence and lower risks. After returning the astronauts to the moon, NASA plans to launch missions every six months and sustain the presence there so we get really, really good at it. Here's the key statement from Mr. Isaacson, the NASA administration administrator. This time the goal is not flags and footprints. This time the goal is to stay. My uncle Neil Armstrong, father of Lance Armstrong, son of Louis Armstrong. It's quite the family tree. Oh, it really is. Yes. Don't get your kite caught in that family tree. You'll be stuck for good. So we're going to land there at some point and stay. And then China is going to try to land in a different spot. And then it's going to be... They're Chinese moon Marines to take over our base. That's going to be something to watch unfold. Here's some more fact, factage for you. China is pursuing similar goals through two programs that will likely merge. Crude missions under the military's purview and civilian robotic missions, both rely on technology built by the same big Chinese communist corporation that shares key technologies between those two sides. Well, NASA relies more heavily on private vendors. Yeah, I was going to ask about Elon and SpaceX. How all this fits in? I mean, do they consult with him? Because I mean, he wants to land on the moon and build a power plant for AI. And he's got goals to get to Mars. And dude, does he work with NASA? And I'd kind of like to use this spot. And we're going to use this spot. And I wonder... I'll bet they are coordinating in various ways, technical ways that I would know about. But they actually reference the fact that we are way ahead of China for now in rocketry, partly because of SpaceX's amazing work, the Falcon 9 rocket they highlight in particular, where China's kind of playing catch up on that technology. The American launcher is a marked improvement on the system. The first sent astronauts to the moon. It is a powerful and complicated rocket cobbled together from components made by NASA and multiple contractors. But they mentioned that the rocket's been used many times on Wednesday. It blasted off for its first crewed mission and was a huge success. Went beautifully. Another advantage that China has is that their population is going to have nothing but nationalist pride and ego attached to anything they accomplish. Whereas half of our country, unless our politics change in the next decade or two, half of our country is going to be a marching in the street, no colonizing space. Yeah, no settler colonialism on the moon. Yeah, exactly. Which is all and has been for a very, very long time a deliberate program by the Soviets, then the Russians and Chinese, to sow discord in our society. And if you take a minute to look into it, you see the fruits of what they're doing. It's worked. They quite wisely went after academia first. That's why colleges and schools are so blanking, screwed up right now. It's really frustrating that not only has it worked, but most Americans, they would hear what I just said and think, oh, he's kind of paranoid or something. No, they actually set out what they were going to do. They wrote it down and signed their names to it. But I come in every day and try. I try to lift the, what was the expression in the Bible? The scales from your eyes. The Bible. The Bible. That's right, sir. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. We are Armstrong and Getty, and this is the best weekend talk show in America. Grab our podcast. It's called Armstrong and Getty on Demand. The truck loaded with nearly 414,000 Kit Kat bars was stolen this week in Europe. The bars made in Italy were shaped like race cars as part of a tie-in with Formula One. They were being transported to Poland, but the truck disappeared somewhere along the 800 mile route. I didn't know. It was even worse than I thought. So they weren't even the regular Kit Kat bars. They were shaped like race cars. I love a Kit Kat. That's a good candy bar right there, in my opinion. Originally, the reporting was that this was going to lead to localized shortings ahead of Easter for Kit Kat bars, but they now say that they can make up the difference somehow. So I don't think of Kit Kat bars in Easter, but each their own. You certainly worship the Lord with whatever candy you see fit. Well, I did. Did your kids not get candy on Easter? But not Kit Kat bars. Not Kit Kat bars. Well, what candy do you consider? Okay. Since she's clean, clearly have a very strong opinion on this. We're Jelly Bean Notarians. Jelly Beans. Only Jelly Beans? Well, we need an arbitrator. Katie, is Kit Kat like within bounds or out of bounds for Easter? If you're talking about the candy for the Easter egg hunt, it's out of bounds because it doesn't fit in the little legs. Well, you gotta get the minis. But if you do the basket, then I could see Kit Kat being part of Easter. Absolutely. Because the egg laying rabbit loves candy for Jesus. Right. You can't make such a big deal. Especially Pagans. Especially Jelly Beans. Yeah, Jelly Beans. Put on your goat pants and worship Satan. Just go ahead. You're a bunch. Or burn incense in the woods. Okay. In the woods. Yes. You know what the interesting part of the story is to me? It's kind of an indication of the modern world. Instead of Nestle, you know, sweeping this under the rug or making a statement about crime or blah, blah, blah, blah. No, they've steered into it and made it a giant social media thing. We've always encouraged people to have a break with Kit Kat, but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 metric tons of our chocolate. Yes, it really happened. And then other companies joined in. Domino's Pizza saying, we'd like to share our thoughts and condolences with Kit Kat, blah, blah, blah, a completely unrelated note. We're pleased to announce we'll now be selling a new Kit Kat Pizza. The Charlotte F.C. Major League Soccer Club announced that, you know, the first 10,000 people are going to get free Kit Kat's at their game. Ryanair, the discount Irish carrier posted a cartoon of one of its planes that has a face and a mouth stuffed with Kit Kat bars, etc. I would say at this point, they've easily surpassed the value of that shipment in free advertising. Oh yeah. Absolutely. And then, and this is charming. So I've got to stuff this in the incident as reminiscent of the time in 2018 when KFC was running out of chicken in the UK because of a problem with suppliers. Instead of trying to keep it quiet or whatever, they steered into it. They took out a full page ad in British newspapers to apologize. Kind of the ad features an empty bucket of chicken emblazed with its initials rearranged to FCK. That's pretty funny. The CEO of Kit Kat said that the criminals have exceptional taste, but cargo theft is a growing issue. I feel like they got the wafer chocolate ratio just perfect on the Kit Kat. Man, whoever is in charge of that, they really did a good job. That's the key. Absolutely. So hopefully your kids' Easter and your salvation will not be interrupted by this theft. I believe it was the book of Mark, yes, not Luke Mark that addressed the chocolate-a-wafer ratio. How much time have we got, Michael? I don't know if I have time for this or not. Oh, we can do it. Let's hurry through it. It deserves not much. I've never heard of Jayden Ivy. He is an NBA player. Was an NBA player. He got cut loose by his team for Instagram posts that he put out like this one. The NBA was everything to me. I didn't know God. I didn't know Jesus when I came to the NBA. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. That's all I knew. And after a win, I felt good. I felt good. I felt like I had everything set out for me. Right? But as soon as that shut down for me, as soon as I didn't start, that's when God was humbling me. And he said he sat me down for a reason. So he's saying that he got cut loose because of his religious beliefs. He did make some fairly strong statements about how he doesn't believe in the whole trans thing. And they had LGBTQ night there at the, I think he plays for the Bulls. Is that what he plays for? It doesn't matter. Wherever he plays, they had LGBTQ night and he said some anti-trans stuff. That's probably why the team went and go. But others are pointing out, you can say this sort of thing. Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, won a whole bunch of championships. It's shameful really that in our country, we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and seemingly get away with it. It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying. I don't know which of the recent issues they're talking about, but Steve Kerr making noises that we allow people to be murdered in the streets by comps and nothing happens. And you get away with it is the anti-American stuff in the NBA is perfectly okay. Oh, sure. Yeah. But anti-mutilating young children is not. Hey, Steve, Steve, those government officials who made those ridiculous claims were called out by the other party, by their own party, by the media, by the people, and they were fired. I don't think anybody got away with anything. What are you wants? What are you talking about? I was a foreign leader. And we hold elections regularly. Interesting thing about that Instagram post where he's saying very little, I was a fornicator and a drinker and a pornographic. He's in an airport. He's like in a very crowded sitting there waiting for his plane airport. Everybody's looking at him like, quit screaming. I'm a fornicator. It's weird me out. My kids are asking me uncomfortable questions just as we're about to get on board. So. Jack Armstrong and Joe Grady. This is the best weekend talk show in America. Video posted by the singer Kid Rock last week. It appears to show two army Apache helicopters hovering outside his home in Tennessee. Kid Rock captioned the video saying in part that it was a level of respect. The governor of California Gavin Newsom will never know. Now the U.S. Army says is looking into why the helicopters were there. And if the flyby violated regulations or safety standards. And is there any indication it did? Just on the face. I think it's just annoying to the Trump hating crowd, which is half of America that it's a full Apache helicopters by Kid Rocks house and Trump's associated. And that's not okay. Because that seems kind of cool to have a batch of kid helicopters go by Kid Rocks house. What's what was it? What has been done wrong here? I can hardly comprehend and anybody being actually upset about this. Have they broken any rules? They're looking into whether or not they violated any rules. Does anybody even indicated any way possible that they violated any rule? If the army tipped its cap to Canada on Katy Perry, went by with problem care. Good Lord. Coming up a couple of things that may interest you. Number one, it is so beyond ridiculous that anybody would consider socialism. Javier Millay in Argentina, the progress he's made turning that country around, ought to be known by everyone on earth. It's an economic miracle. Plus, speaking of beyond ridiculous, more analysis of how silly and not what it seemed to be. The no Kings protests were. Clearly, Chinese financed old hippies getting together and saying, yeah, for us, stay tuned. That's all interesting stuff. Look forward to it. So came across this the other day. This is I don't know how many years ago it was. Doesn't really make any difference. Oh, 2023. I do know how many years ago it was three. Well, this is Gavin Newsom's old lady, Jen Newsom, who hopes to be the first partner of the United States when Gavin Newsom gets elected president. So she would be our first later lady being interviewed by Jen Plisaki on MSNBC. And it's a little long, but it's worth sticking around in case you're like, you don't know much about Gavin Newsom's wife or what kind of person she is or whatever. She's going to be very, she'll be a very active first lady. Oh, and and a very interesting topic of conversation come campaign time. Yeah. He's going to have to figure out how to keep her quiet. I think he's going to have enough trouble cleaning up previous interviews let alone. I mean, if if he became the nominee, you know, you know, the focus you get is the nominee and she's doing interviews like daily as they travel around the country. Yes, please. Anyway, I want that. So but yeah, I'm saying he's going to spend her send her on a 12 week fact finding mission to Mongolia where they have no cell service. She's sitting there with Jen Sockie wearing a very cool St. Laurent L01 biker jacket. I must say that. But here it goes. Tripp, you're here in Alabama now. Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That's a great question. Well, I don't think. Could you stop it there? Because the key to this is to understand that. She had just gone on a tour of red states. She had she had taken her kids traveling through the south to teach them what and go back to the beginning trip. You're here in Alabama now. Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That's a great question. Well, I don't think or I know for a fact that we don't get all of this history in our schools. And it's part of and you know, enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy, so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that, you know, we have work to do and that we have healing to do and so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them. And you want them to see it so that they know? I do. I'm a truth seeker. They need to know the truth. She took her kids on a tour of the red states so they could see the misogyny, sexism and racism for themselves. Yes. Yes. Oh my God. You talk about contempt for half the country. Oh my. That makes Hillary's basket of deplorable seem like nothing. I took my kids on a tour of red states so they could see with their own eyes because they don't. Obviously, we all know if our history books and schools do anything, it skews way too far in covering up the flaws of the United States. And to describe her as pretentious would be like calling Shohei Otani a good ball player. I mean, the word doesn't come close to being adequate. The only reason you would ever take your kids to a red state is so they can see with their own eyes, misogyny, racism, bigotry and sexism. Right. How disgusting is that? Well, in her, we all fall short sometimes. Did anybody's mom or dad take a parenting approach that was within within a thousand miles of that when they were a kid? She obviously is trying to craft her children into some sort of ideological warriors. And by the way, something, just a quick note, talking about how the schools and she must mean the schools in California don't teach the history of A. That's all they teach. Right. And they teach the kids to hate their country and B, you sent your kids to an expensive private school so you wouldn't have very good idea at all what happens in government schools. What the hell? You laugh. I laugh. Maybe the sarcasm in my voice wasn't thick enough. But yeah, because that's our, we all know our public school books hide the flaws of the United States and all our teachers are refusing to talk about anything negative the United States ever did. That's the only thing they talk about. Ask my kids. They're hyper conservative teachers union representatives are remembering you must teach patriotism as part of every lesson. Oh my God. And I like the effect that you can just step across the state line into Louisiana or some other red state and it's just obvious to everyone's eyeballs the racism the sexism the bigotry the massaging it's everywhere for your kid to see. It's like go to the zoo. Excuse me, excuse me. Can you point me toward the slave market? The what now? Where are the slaves being sold? The what? The zoo that is red states for her. Oh my God. Yeah. So God everything about her her tone of voice her choice of words not to mention the thing she actually says but everything just stinks of ultra wealthy Napa Valley. Yeah. Well, that's why I mentioned her St. Laurent L01 jacket, which I happen to know cost $6,000. It was like from the start of that clip where she went, hmm, that's a great question. I know. That's a great question. I know right about half the best. Because that question will allow me to show how incredibly enlightened I am. Yeah. I don't want to hear that whole thing. Wasn't that something I feel like I'm covered in slime after listening to that. When I heard that the other day, I thought, well, he's got the benefit. It'll have the media on his side like entirely, but he should have to answer that. Is that what you think of red states, which you need some of to be elected president? Is that what you think of red states? They're just a zoo of racism and misogyny. Do you take your kids to to learn how awful we are? Oh, I know. And then we'll move on to yeah, her fake charity produces fake documentaries that are entirely intended to convince little kids that they can and should change sex. And then her fake charity sells those videos to schools for big dollars and gets big phony donations that the governor twists arms. So she's a walk-in-talking graft machine on top of the rest of it. Yeah, I just know why I think I'm for the grace of God. Play the play just the beginning of it because I want to hear them because that is my favorite part of the whole trip. You're here in Alabama now. Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That's a great question. Wow. Barf. I know Barf. I know people who talk that way and it's always so hard for me to keep a straight face when they do that. You've got to be wearing a six thousand dollar jacket to pull it off. Yes. That is such a great question. That's a great question. Well, the only hope for Gavin is that she's so busy running their Clinton Foundation like charity to make them gazillionaires that she doesn't have time to get in the way. Not that the Trump crowd isn't doing it too. I ain't pretending. Oh, oh, they're making money hand over fist. The thing, he can't muzzle her. If even if he wanted to, no chance. She is more in love with her act than I don't know like a Tiger Woods. She is her own biggest fan. She is. Oh, absolutely. And is 100% convinced that the world is dying to hear her. Oh my God, there's no muzzling her. She reeks of people need to hear what I think about this. Oh, yeah. That's a great question. Wow. That is, I would like to play that for a focus group. So if you lean progressive, would you hear that and just like, oh, fill your soul with happiness? Because it just, it made my skin crawl on so many different levels. Yes, Katie. I know. I can't see anyone who would be spoken to like that and just be like, yeah, this is right on. Okay. So here's what I advocate because I think we are so stunned by her pretentiousness and acting like the red states of America are like subhuman zoos. That we're all, it was tough to take in the full fire hose of drivel about how enlightened she wanted her kids to be. Michael, I insist, play it again. Okay. Tripp, you're here in Alabama now. Why was it important to you to take them on this trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That's a great question. Well, I don't think or I know for a fact that we don't get all of this history in our schools. You got to be kidding. And it's part of, and, you know, enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy, so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that, you know, we have work to do and that we have healing to do. And so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them. And you want them to see it so that they know. I do. I'm a truth seeker. They need to know the truth. Wow. Again, that was, that was a symphony of pretension. I think, you know, many, many political pundits seek the whole basket of deplorables is what got Trump elected. I think that's way beyond basket of deplorables. That's like our red states are zoos of awfulness that you should take your kids to, to, to learn how terrible everything is. Don't touch the locals, kids. Don't touch the locals. Like you drive through in a bus and look out the window and see racism over there and bigotry over there. Like a wildlife park. Yeah, exactly. Keep your windows rolled up, kids. Keep the windows rolled up. They say they know hearts. So become dependent. Their empathy so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world. I counted at least eight different restatements of I want my kids to be enlightened. So I'm showing them all the ugliness in this terrible country. Yeah. Wow. Wow. And the contrast with the basket of deplorables thing is Hillary kind of tossed that off describing like the hardcore anti-Obama crowd. And it was a terrible misstep and it was misstep and it was pretentious and it was condescending. But that's Hillary Clinton we're talking about. Jennifer Siebel Newsom will give you five paragraphs on how deplorable the deplorables are and she will spout that proudly and intentionally. In contrast to Hillary. That's a great question. Well, that's a great point, Joe. Yeah. I'm a true seeker. It ends with that exclamation point of vomitous. I'm a true seeker. I seek the truth. I want my children to be true seekers. To each their own and they seem happily married and I'm divorced. So I shouldn't make any comment. I just can't imagine sitting through an evening with her. Listen to that sort of thing. Unless that unless she doesn't do that act at home maybe constantly or something. It has to be on the ground floor of some establishment because I am launching myself out of window. Yeah, I'm not comfortable going to their relationship for a variety of reasons. Super good looking power couple. Just leave it there. Yeah, I just I think I'm for the grace of God. Yeah, I see your point. Great point, honey. How is he this is a for real because I've read a lot of books about a lot of campaigns. This is a for real problem that even if he doesn't admit it, he's got strategists that know she is a negative for them that they got to figure out how to handle. Oh, yeah. Think about your, you know, semi-rural suburban Ohio voter who knows she's talking about them. They're not in Alabama, but they know. Oh my God, she'll be poison. It's too bad, isn't it? Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. We decided to call this the best weekend talk show in America. And if you like it, download Armstrong and Getty on demand. In baseball, checking after the first week, roughly of baseball, still about 50% of the time the robot is right versus the umpire. So it's averaging like two or three times per game that people are trying this. Hey, I don't think that was a ball. I think it was a strike or vice versa. And it's about 50-50. So anything to conclude from that? I don't know. I suppose, you know, you can look at it two ways, but those close calls where you thought the umpire was wrong, well, half the time you were right. The umpire was wrong. Hey, yeah. And it's a lot harder to call balls and strikes than you think it is. I don't know how anybody does it. Yeah. And I certainly don't know how anybody does it. Watching on TV, I've never understood that. I don't have an eye for it, but I've never stood sitting in the sands 100 yards away. Oh, come on. I just have never understood that. That's hilarious. Yeah. As an umpire, buddy of mine has put it to, there's a reason we don't position the home plate umpire 14 rows back 100 yards that way. Yeah. Interesting. And he also commented that umpires are expected to learn a new strike zone without any visible references without any training in the machine that majorly baseball uses the measure has a calibration error and a measurement error, but they hold the umpire at one tenth of an inch for the accuracy of their ball strike decisions. Yeah. I don't like where it's going, but I guess a lot of baseball purists do. Whatever. Katie, tell us about the bugs that are eating people's eyeballs. All right. The mosquito and vector control district says that the San Gabriel Valley in California is seeing a surging population of tiny eyeball biting flies. Well, this won't haunt my dreams. They said, uh, Is this a new fly or has it always been around? No, it's been around, but last year at this time, guys, fly traps for these little guys, we're catching just in the single digits this year. The number of these flies caught has been in the hundreds. Oh, they bite your eyeballs specifically. The tiny black flies, they are known to bite people's eyeballs and necks. My neck is fine, but eyeball, does it hurt? I can't feel pretty good. Not seasoned and being bitten in the eyeball. We have an idea. This is a biblical plague. I mean, clearly it's probably because of all the sodomy. Got to be the sodomy. Gavin Newsom is going to have to answer for this eyeball eating flies on your watch. Yeah, I just don't know. I think I'm for the grace of God.
