This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. The Iranians do not have control of the strait. We have absolute control of the strait. We have blockaded the ships going into or out of Iranian ports. Their economy is in free fall. And everyone says they have a high tolerance for pain. Well, their soldiers will not have a high tolerance for not getting paid. Yeah, I think that's a stretch. I stood up for the blockade of the blockade earlier in the show because I think that is a very clever move and I think it's going to work they blockaded the straits we blockaded them they can't get anything out either because when they blockaded the strait they were still letting their oil get out they were making more revenue after the war started than before the war started that was no good well they ain't making no revenue now at all but I think for Scott Bessent the treasury secretary to say we control the straight is a bit of a stretch. If we controlled the straight, like actually fully controlled it, there'd be 150 ships going through every day like there were previously. Right now, two in the last 48 hours that I'm aware of. Yeah, I could control Interstate 80 by dumping 50 tons of cement in the middle of it, but then it's not a highway. Yeah, a bit of a stretch. And the whole soldiers don't appreciate getting paid, that would take a while to really work its way into something of significance because they got a gun at their back. Right. Here's Trey Inkst of Fox with a little more on where we are. Tension continues to rise across the Middle East as Iran fires on vessels in the Persian Gulf. This comes as the United States is escorting ships that are currently trapped in the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz as part of Project Freedom. Overnight, CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Kruper described the extensive U.S. firepower protecting the operation that does include 15,000 U.S. service members. I spoke yesterday with President Trump, who told me if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, they'll be blown off the face of the earth. Yeah, right after we got off the air yesterday, so the UAE got attacked hard by Iran. They're number one port for getting oil out and them making money. Iran blowed it up, and the UAE seems to have reached their end of patience on that. And one of UAE's most prominent voices drew a parallel to October 7th. The leading commentator for the UAE said Iran will regret May 4th, just as Hamas did after October 7th. That's a promise. not only a great comparison but also a nod of alliance with israel that is very uh significant good point so you cross the line you're going to pay a heavy price yeah and then making the comparison to israel that's interesting um an iranian strategist threatened the the uae by saying we will send the Emiratis back to their camel riding days. That's an unfortunate stereotype there. Prove of that. So their version of bomb them back to the Stone Ages, we're going to send you back to your camel riding days. My guess would be is that we, Israel, the UAE, are all just coordinating and there's going to be a giant attack this week. That'd be my guess. I wonder if we're trying to nudge MBS over some sort of line and telling them, look, this is the new coalition. This is the new reality. You got to be in 100% because it's time to bring in the 2,000 pound bomb of war bass and finish this. I'll tell you what ain't going to happen. Iran is not going to send those gazillionaire princes in the Arab Emirates back to the camel riding days. That ain't going to happen. Seems unlikely. Yes, yes. Another thing that's unlikely to happen is Iran saying, you know what? We should sit down at the bargaining table in good faith and come to an agreement that opens the Gulf and restores peace to the region. Please. What a joke. I hate the Iranians, but that was a good one. Coming up, Is Vladimir Putin the man who broke Russia? Nobody's talking much about the situation in Russia right now, but things are dark. Yeah, what was I watching that had a good report on that war today? Ukraine has been very successful in recent weeks reaching deep into Russia, all the way to Siberia, with some of their drone attacks. and it looked like Russia was not going to have their normal early May patriotic celebration. May 5th. Why is May 5th a big day for Russia? I don't even remember why. But they're supposed to have a big get-together that they were not going to have. And Zelensky very cleverly said yesterday, I heard you canceled it. I'll tell you what, we'll hold off on the drone attack so you can go and have your parade, which was a cool thing to say, I thought. Wow. Wow, that was very tweaking the nose-ish. Yes. All right, so more on Russia after a break. Also, this hour, and this is a completely different flavor, five things mosquito experts do every summer to avoid getting bitten. You have to be a mosquito expert? What's a mosquito expert? No, you don't know. Here's the point. The people who know the most about mosquitoes, this is what they do, so they don't get chewed on. Well, it's not chewed on per se. It's punctured, penetrated by the evil beasts. So we'll have that for you this hour as well. I hate seeing a mosquito on me. Oh. That's deep in our brain because it's the most deadly animal on the planet. Had to remove a tick from my sweetheart. You didn't have to. I felt like I should. Okay, that's a different responsibility. Yes. Oh, you know, that's right. I meant to squeeze this in. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow. The report on how miserable things are in Portland as another progressive government is absolutely ruining itself. I feel like the case has been made so thoroughly who could have possibly missed it. But the answer is the places that elect these people, I guess. Let's see. What do we have? Here's a political story because I don't want to rush through the Russia thing. Russian through Russian news. We were talking about the poll numbers that were out yesterday. Trump disapprovals, yada, yada, yada, 37% approval. Everybody, 76% of people disapprove of the cost of living. And if that's the case, practically nothing else matters in politics. But I think we were perhaps guilty of missing the forest for the trees. I went back looking at the chart and it's overall approval, cost of living, inflation, situation with Iran, relation with allies, the economy, taxes. The immigration, specifically U.S.-Mexico border policy, blah, blah, blah. Upside down in every single category. Every single one, including the U.S.-Mexico border. Probably because the mass deportation thing struck a lot of moderate folks as ugly. And it might be what you just said. When gas is this high, you suck at everything. It's just the way you feel. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And when inflation is up, nothing else matters. True that. Why did they ask cost of living and inflation is a different question. I don't know. I've never understood that. Yeah, people don't get economics. Might as well ask them about, I don't know, something they know nothing about. I don't feel like the inflation thing is going to turn around. Well, some of it can't turn around and then. All right. Does the Russian bear have his mighty paw in a trap of his own making? Stay with us. I have another commentary on the cost thing, but I'll save it because we'll be talking about it again over the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, true. Yes. So back to the Russian bear in the trap. Yes, that next. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Okay, I got the details on this. So I going to have to start getting back into following the Ukraine war because I have not been keeping up on it a lot So Russia Victory Day parade is May 9th It a big deal they have every single year celebrating their victory over the Nazis in World War II. And they usually bring out all their military stuff onto the street there in Red Square. Putin has been talking about calling for a ceasefire so that they could have the parade. That's what Zelensky chimed in on the other day. He said, yeah, we could allow you to have your parade, I guess. You know, basically like you can't unless we let you. But Putin did announce that for the first time in 18 years, Moscow's Victory Day parade will feature no military kit as Putin's paranoia continues over being attacked by Ukrainian droads during the parade. So not going to have any of the military stuff out there in the parade. hoping that that'll keep Zelensky from attacking it. Wow. That's a good position to be in. Yeah, yeah. That paranoia, quote-unquote, factors into the next story. But first, found this very compelling. Walter Russell Mead writing about how Vladimir Putin may well be remembered as the man who broke Russia and how surprising that is because for a long time he made fools of the West. He outmaneuvered them in every way. Invasion of Georgia in 08, the 2014 seizure of Crimea, much of the Donbass, the revival of Russian power in the Middle East. Like when Obama walked away from his red line in Syria, Russia moved in, took charge there. They've established like the Lukashenko government in Belarus, which is now gone. They advanced Russian power, taking away French power in Africa. You remember the whole, what, it flitted out of my head, the whole, the Wagner group with the bald-headed, hard-ass Pregosian. Pregosian, right. Yeah, who is projecting Russian power in effect. I mean, he was way, way, way on the front foot. But then, as Mead points out, but then the master of the Kremlin made a critical error. Ukraine wasn't a real country, he reasoned. Its people weren't nationalists. Its government was a hollow shell, which turned out to be completely wrong. underestimated every aspect of that. And then he gets into how, you know, the Russian spring and summer offensives could still push Ukraine into a crisis. You don't know. But even if Putin's stalemated army regains some momentum, the war's gone on so long, cost so much, and weakened the sinews of Russian power so severely that any victory will indeed be peric, or do you say pyric? The more likely outcome, an agonizing stalemate that continues to chew up Russian manpower and economic resources, threatens Putin's grip on power and the future of Russia itself. And then he goes into, after that peak that we're describing, Putin's been watching the decline of Russian influence all across Europe. Viktor Orban just lost in Hungary. That was their closest European ally. Putin may now have to watch helplessly as Hungarian investigators aid their Western colleagues, tracing the flows of Russian dark money into European businesses and political circles. Meanwhile, Europeans have found the financial means to keep Ukraine in the war can likely shore up Ukraine for the foreseeable future. Putin's seen the decline of Russian influence against the rest of the post-Soviet space. Armenia and Azerbaijan are now actively cooperating with the West. Some Central Asian republics, rather, have now closer economic times with China than with Russia. And they're welcoming the expansion of various pipelines that are significant, but I won't go into the details. Bashar al-Assad fell from power in Syria. Russia has been unable to exert significant influence over military or diplomatic events in the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Their African adventure is not going well at all. Huge setbacks there. Meanwhile, the Ukraine war is exacerbating Russia's demographic decline. Hundreds of thousands of military-age men have been killed in the war. hundreds of thousands more including many of their best educated young men fled the country to avoid being fed into the meat grinder just crazy the terrible terrible trends you would think that that would come to a head at some point yeah yeah well it's all heading in one direction right now and then this is from newser.com who wrote this article I don't I'm not familiar with the author but I'll let you be the judge of how compelling it seems. Russia's president is increasingly running his war from underground according to the Financial Times and CNN based on European intelligence. Literally underground. The Federal Protective Services sharply tightened security around Vlad amid rising fears of a coup or assassination attempt particularly by drone. Putin and his family have reportedly stopped using some residences near Moscow, with the president spending weeks at a time in bunkers, while state media relies more on pre-recorded footage. Good. Security units now patrol the Moscow River, conduct extensive sweeps, while recent internet outages in the capital are seen by some as tied to anti-drone defenses. Okay. Yeah. Ukrainian drones, I was just reading about this, have penetrated a lot of Moscow's defenses that Moscow felt were impenetrable. And the drones have gotten through. So he is feeling more paranoid about an attack on him personally. Yeah, a lot of the air defense systems that have been so completely outmatched and devastated in Iran are from Russia. And so if Ukraine could ever come up with significant bulk, I've got to believe they could make quite a bit of hay with those attacks as they are now and stepping it up. So that parade is going to happen on May 9th, which is four days from now. And will there be explosions at the parade? Will there be Putin at the parade? Does Zelensky fit? Yeah, that's a good one. If he doesn't show himself at the parade, that's not a good look. And does Zelensky attack a parade full of civilians lining the parade route? Certainly, Russia doesn't have any problem doing that to him. They kind of have a decent Putin stand-in, right? Body doubles? There's supposed to be bunches of them. Yeah, have them throw on a ball cap sunglasses. Nobody will ever know. When I was in Moscow in January 2007, Gladys, thank you, there was a Putin look-alike outside of the Kremlin, and you could get your picture taken with him. Crazy in a couple of ways. One, this guy looked exactly like Vladimir Putin. But two, it was just such a different time as recently as 2007, where it was just kind of funny. Oh, Putin's just kind of a, you know, he's an elected president who will leave office at the end of his term and kind of a friend of the United States, and it's a different country. That was that brief period of time where the world broke back. They're liberalizing, yes. I think Russia's like the highest level of don't go there at this point for Americans. Oh, you certainly would not do the vacation I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would love to, but I wouldn't. Yeah, okay. Coming up, mosquito experts tell you how to avoid getting those pesky mosquito bites. But mosquitoes don't particularly like me. They don't hate me, like as in they won't sting me, bite me or whatever it is. But I'm not near as bad as like one of my kids just gets eaten alive if there are mosquitoes outside. Yeah, my wife gets bitten. I don't know if she gets bitten more than me, but they like swell up like crazy. It's a much more significant thing. I get a mosquito bite, I think, ah, it's going to age for a little while. But no, it's... I think it's because of my diet. I just taste horrible, probably. Probably so, yeah. Yeah, you're toxic, Frank. McDonald's and donuts. Jack is so toxic. Nobody wants it. Okay, all that's on the way. If you missed a segment, get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty On Demand. Armstrong and Getty. Got an update coming up on the OpenAI Elon Musk Scam Altman trial. and Elon is a very confident dude. If what he's saying is true, he is in good shape for this trial. Yeah, that one came out kind of hot a few days ago. I'd kind of let it slip away from my attention radar. So good, update on that coming up. Promised it, here it is. I remember learning this as a kid. I got it wrong. I was quizzed. What's the deadliest animal on earth? And I went with beaver. Alligator. Mosquito. Clearly. It's not even close. Mosquitoes kill people through carrying disease. Usually malaria. Dengue, Jack? Malaria, certainly. West Nile virus? Me neither sir They tell me sir Anyway I not going to go all clickbaity on you You probably not going to die from anything you get from a mosquito in the United States Probably. But they're annoying AF, as the kids say. Particularly if you swell up like crazy, like my wife does when she gets a bite. Although, long-time friend, personally, and of the show, Dave, said his son had that. And for whatever reason, Bactine prevented the swelling. He doesn't know what the science is. And Dave is a very, he's not a wackadoodle, new age Curie guy. He said it really worked for his son. So, humble back teen. Who knew? Anyway. So, mosquito experts, Jack. Entomologists. They don't like getting bit any more than you do. And here are the five things they do to minimize mosquito bites. Number one, stay inside. That's a good one. Wear really long clothes. Dress up like you're exploring the moon. The first one is obvious, but it is easy to forget. Eliminate standing water in your yard. Go around puddles, overturned plants, old tires, leaf litter. I love a stagnant pond. I love that rainbow-y color you get on top of it when it's been sitting there for a long time. Right. The way it smells. I just like them. Wheelbarrow. That was the problem I always had at the farm. Forget the wheelbarrow sitting out there filled with water and just be full of mosquito eggs. You got to turn that bastard upside down. Dang, right? Yeah. Anyway, where was I? Oh, the bases of potted plants. That's another good one. You got like the dessert plate under the plants. Anyway, blah, blah, blah. So that's important because that's where they breed. And they breed really quickly. So dump that stuff out. If you can't get rid of standing water, consider BTI, Jack. For standing water that can't be emptied like your yard has a fish pond, And a larvicide containing BTI, Bacillus thuringiaeus, a subspecies israelianius, as you know, may be helpful. Yeah, it was a little condescending to act like we didn't know that. These products contain a bacterium that kills mosquito larvae in the water and are very safe. BTI bacterium produce toxins that specifically target mosquito, black fly, no need to bring race into it, and fungus gnat larvae and is not harmful to other insects, humans, birds, fish, or other animals. Well, when I was a teenager in, once again, Gladys, one more time and you're into overtime. You get time and a half. You have to play the guitar. When I was a teenager in rural western Kansas, a big truck spewing out almost certainly cancer-causing clouds of anti-mosquito stuff would drive through town. And all the kids, we'd all run through the cloud of mosquito spray because we thought it was fun. 100%. did the same thing as a kid. I can still smell that smell. I can too, and it was not a good smell. Other than putting a 45 in your mouth and pulling the trigger, it's hard to picture a worse idea. What a different view we had of the world back then because none of the parents were saying, hey, don't do that. That's poison for mosquitoes. You don't need to run through that and breathe it, but no parents were saying that. I remember my mom saying, that's probably a bad idea. You need to stop doing that. But, I mean, probably a bad idea. Again, it's practically a suicide attempt. All right, so number three, apply DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus repellent. You know, I've got friends, and particularly the gals who we hang out with are very much into their essential oils and lemon oils and eucalyptus to keep the bugs off. I'm like, give me the most horrendous output of America's factories. I agree. I want stuff you can only get in North Korea. That's what I want on my skin. Anyway, deed is the best thing to prevent biting, says the professor of biology at the University of Washington, developed by the U.S. Army in the 40s and suppresses scents, and mosquitoes have a harder time smelling humans. You probably didn't know that. A lot of so-called repellents, including the kind of naturalistic stuff, it's that the mosquitoes can't sense you're there, and that they want to munch on you. It doesn't literally repel them as much as it blinds them, which I found really interesting. Do some people just smell worse? Like people that don't bathe, do they get more mosquito bites or fewer? Or maybe you can't tell because you got so many lice biting you. Oh, geez. What the hell? Ah, disgusting. And now everybody's going to itch for the rest of the day. Yikes. I'm picturing a particularly dirty person. Ah, well, yes, indeed. They should be more clean. Why are you looking at me? What was I going to say? You've completely nuked my mind clean. All right, we'll move on. Turn clothing into a shield when spending time outdoors in mosquito-prone settings, such as while gardening or doing yard work. Wear long pants and long sleeves. It leaves less skin that you have to put repellent on. Do you want at some point to hear the grossest thing I've ever heard? No. No? Okay. Michael, you get a vote, too. Go ahead. Oh, no, you've betrayed me. Michael. and I know if Katie was here she'd say hell yeah let's hear it oh my god I'm trying to decide whether I should say that alright I will say one more thing and then you can decide on it I am a super big fan of the like lightweight Columbia makes good clothes you know I've got some stuff from what's the other like Eddie Bauer it's like they call them guide pants or whatever super light super stretchy, but they keep the damn bugs off you and the sun off you too. Anyway, strategy number five, use fans and spatial repellents in outdoor living areas. Fans because they're not good flyers. Spatial repellents are devices that create a protective radius. These devices also call spatial emanators. Thermocell makes one. I've always been skeptical that those are fake. But they often have rechargeable batteries and emit just a small amount of a chemical that will deter the mosquitoes from coming into an area. If you're going to be eating outside and staying in one place, I think that they can create an effective bubble of protection around you. And again, these are entomologists who study mosquitoes, so I guess those things are real. What the heck? Catch me outside. How about that? There's a mosquito. Yeah. What have you decided? So this is apropos of nothing other than me bringing up dirty people. And every time the story of people who aren't clean comes up, I think about this, because I heard it firsthand. It was from the medical professional who told me the story, so it was firsthand, but you're hearing it secondhand, but it's always stuck in my head. And it's really gross, and if you don't want to hear gross, turn off the radio for a little bit, I guess. I have a bad feeling about this. He had a very overweight patient. that came in for some sort of health problem. And he always hated when she came in, and he felt bad about this, but she smelled so horrible it was difficult to deal with her. I'll bet that happens a lot. That's sad. Yeah. Anyway, the problem was around her abdomen area and her very, very large big woman boobs were covering her abdomen area. So he had to ask her to lift those up. Oh, boy. And there was a tremendous amount of mold growing underneath her boobs. Oh, boy. Boob mold. Oh, boy. No, you don't want that. And that's what was causing her to smell so bad. I don't know about you folks. I was actually braced for something worse than that. What's worse than that? I feel a feeling of relief. Can you make up something worse than that? Oh, yeah, yeah. I can't. But I won't because I have restraint. I don't think I can make up something worse than that. Boob mold. Somebody whose boobs are so big and hang down and she doesn't clean herself that the mold is growing under there? Sub-boob mold. I'll bet it was, I'll bet the scent, the aroma was terrible. That's what he said. Yeah. I could hardly stand to be in the room with her. Vomitus. What the hell? An aggressive scent. Oh, golly, that's a bad way to be. I had a twofer. What, moldy is a bad way to be? I had a twofer for you. The second half of which is quite cerebral. And it's an analysis of how the state of Utah is trying to deal with bums and junkies. And not in the Cal Unicornia way of just, or, you know, Seattle, Portland, whatever. Make them as comfortable and happy as possible. But they're running into all sorts of problems. Which does not mean it's not worth doing. And we will talk about it tomorrow. Damn it, I swear we will. But I was going to pair it with this vagrant in the East Village of New York who has been called the smelliest man in New York City He a vagrant junkie with no control of his bodily functions And he's become infamous in that part of New York. Wow. That's worse than boob mold. Yeah. It's such a different thing, but yeah. This description, I will not read to you. Good. That which is heard cannot be unheard. Do they not notice it themselves? Like a boob mold lady. Didn't she in the car sometimes think, what is that? Is there a McDonald's wrapper in here or something? The fascinating thing about smell is the longer you smell something, the less you can smell. True. Your mind compensates somehow. Yeah. Smell a rose for 30 solid seconds. and by the end it'll be like, why was I so enthralled by that 30 seconds ago? It's weird. Or having worked in lots of feedlots and stuff like that, you don't even notice it at all. Which is a blessing. Yeah. You. Latest from the scam Altman Elon Musk trial. And nothing like the preceding stuff. I'll just tell you the word dripping factors into it. But that's all I'm going to say. God, you have... That's all I'm going to say. You're like an eight-year-old in terms of your... No, I'm the one with restraint. That Stanford marshmallow thing on impulse control or whatever, you would fail that. Oh, right. I do love a marshmallow. You don't have the ability to hold back. You child. God. Hey, stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty. So the outlines of the trial are this. Elon Musk says that he and Sam Altman, Elon really started it. He came up with the financing and the name and everything like that for OpenAI. And he and Altman, Sam Altman, built it together with the idea that this is going to be a non-profit. The first big AI company in the world is going to be a non-profit. It's going to be open to everyone so we can see what's going on with AI. He says that Sam Altman started to try to make it a for-profit company to become wealthy, and that's when Elon left, and now they're in a lawsuit and all that sort of stuff, and Elon wants $130 billion and an apology or something. I don't know what that is. The name that gets left out a lot is this guy Brockman. He is the other dude. Kent Brockman? I, for one, welcome our overlords. I forget what the guy's name is. First name is. That doesn't matter. Brockman and Altman are the guys that started, Are they're still with OpenAI? Some questioning yesterday by Elon Musk's lawyer with Brockman revealed his stake in OpenAI is now worth close to $30 billion. This Brockman dude's worth $30 billion. Woof! And that he holds a stake in multiple companies that do business with OpenAI, which would tend to make you not completely uninterested in how OpenAI is doing relative to your other companies. Anyway, leaning heavily on Brockman's diary entries, which I wanted to break in here and say, if you have a diary, can they access that? How does that work? How does anybody have a diary if something goes wrong that the government or whoever can grab your diary and start reading entries? It's a written record? I need to know more about that. I thought that was interesting. I guess if they get a search warrant for any materials relevant dot dot dot then why does anybody keep a diary leaning heavily on Brockman's diary entries Elon's lawyer tried to paint Brockman as motivated by money at the expense of OpenAI's non-profit mission he presented one entry in which Brockman wrote to himself financially what's it going to take to make me a billionaire what you really wanted to be was a billionaire right Molo asked based on the diary entry Yes, so do I. Brockman replied, solving for the mission has always been my primary motivation remains so today. The mission being, you know, an open AI company that will help the world. I'm not so sure I believe that. Here's the interesting thing that came out yesterday, though. Two days before the trial started, which would just be two weeks ago, Musk messaged Brockman to gauge his interest in settling the case, according to an open AI filing released before the start of testimony, which I feel like undercuts Elon a little since I thought he was trying to let the world know how these scumbags took a not-for-profit philanthropic organization and turned it for profit. If you're just going to take the $130 billion or whatever you settle for and nobody learns this, I don't know. Anyway, after Brockman suggested that both sides drop their claims, Musk responded with this threat. By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be, Musk said according to the brief. Wow. I will make you the most hated men in America. I actually don't think enough people are paying attention or care or understand what AI is to make them the most hated men in America, but maybe the most hated men in the tech world. I don't know. If you could work in like a hot Hollywood starlet and a dog that was missing for a couple of years and made its way home, you could get America to pay attention. but I don't think this is sexy enough. Elon is asking the court to remove Altman and Brockman from their leadership roles at OpenAI, and also he wants $180 billion that he thinks belongs to him. So that's his goal. Maybe the settlement, I guess, would have included that. You guys step down. We don't have to go through this whole thing, and you end up being hated by everyone. They apparently are not as worried about being hated as Elon thinks they are. during one entry from november of 2017 that elon's lawyer showed to the jury brockman wrote by the way another realization from his this is that it'd be wrong to steal the non-profit from him to convert to a b corp that's a profitable corporation without him that'd be pretty morally bankrupt and he's really not an idiot that's a pretty damning entry yeah i'd say that gun's got a little smoke coming out of it. I mean, that might be the whole trial right there. As Brockman had said to himself that this would be wrong, morally bankrupt, and that they were taking it from a non-profit to a for-profit business. Mmm. It's Final Thoughts with Daily G. It's Final Thoughts with Daily Brockman actually went on to say in the diary entry that it would be hard for him to look at himself in the mirror. That's some damning testimony. Wish I hadn't written that. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a little final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. Michelangelo, you will lead us bravely into the future. What's your final thought? Yeah, guys, in the last 40 minutes, you mentioned mosquitoes, which made me itch. You mentioned boob mold. And then you mentioned people with no bowel control. Welcome to the A&G Fear Factor Show. No kidding. Yeah, sorry. Jack, a final thought for us? I think we're going back to full-on war. And it's going to be us, Israel, and the UAE at least pounding the crap out of Iran. I'll be shocked if that doesn't happen this week. Katie, Katie, the news lady is on maternity leave. My final thought is this. future historians, when you're writing about our age and what went terribly, terribly wrong, the key phrase is going to be, you couldn't get anyone to pay attention to what was important. Yeah, I thought of that. I was watching CBS News last night. Eight minutes in to a 22-minute newscast. Eight minutes in before they got around to the war in Iran, which is important. They had some YouTube videos of a plane hitting this or that. All stuff that has no effect on you whatsoever. before they got deep into the news and started covering anything that matters. Not good. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four-hour workday. So many people thanks. So little time. Go to armstrongandgetty.com. Check out hot links. Check out the swag store.

Armstrong and Getty. And there was a tremendous amount of mold growing underneath her boobs. Sub-boobo mold. I'll bet it was, I'll bet the scent, the aroma was terrible. That's what he said. An aggressive scent. Oh, golly, that's a bad way to be. I had a twofer. What, moldy is a bad way to be? Get the entire show on the podcast. Armstrong and Getty. On demand.
