0:31
You'd think that four hours would have been enough with Giuliani
0:34
and con and drump and a shut
0:36
down in the Starbucks and everything we've
0:38
talked about. But here's one more thing,
0:42
one more. I
0:45
still don't know what this podcast is gonna be, but I
0:47
was just having a conversation with our boss in the hallway.
0:49
It's gonna be what it is, man,
0:53
No, it is what it is. Huh
0:57
where else is Hi? Hi'm high? Sorry?
1:00
So our boss brought up the idea of
1:02
maybe the reason Nancy Pelosi doesn't
1:04
want the stated union addresses she doesn't think she can
1:06
control our crowd, and that they were to start
1:08
shouting at the president and it will become a thing.
1:11
Oh yeah, well so yeah,
1:13
you had Joe Wilson, that was his name, right you I
1:15
which was widely condemned, stays
1:18
so tame now. It seems so
1:21
tame now, but at the time it was oh my god, what have we
1:23
become? But in the
1:25
but all outrage is so selective. Now
1:27
Will the New York Times and WAMPO even cover
1:30
it? Will let CNN? Will
1:32
they say you've given all of Trump's
1:34
blah of sins. It's predictable that
1:36
No, they'll they'll they'll
1:39
justify it, they'll excuse it. From
1:41
an entertainment standpoint, I would love it from
1:44
Is this good from American standpoint? Probably not,
1:46
because Trump's not gonna stand there embarrassed
1:48
in red take it. He might
1:50
cut off the pony. We
1:53
could say some things that are definitely not on the telepropter
1:55
not very presidential. But
1:58
the question I had for Am I do you think it's ever
2:00
to go back to normal? And he agrees, and he was talking
2:02
about some other nationally known talk show hosts He's
2:05
discussed this with. I. I don't think it's
2:07
going back to normal. I don't I think Trump leaves,
2:09
it doesn't go back to normal. You won't have the
2:11
Trump factor, which is its own, you
2:13
know, awesome sauce starts this and that.
2:16
But but there were, there were I
2:18
think we're just in a new era. I think it's gonna
2:21
be crazy like this. I agree. I think people are gonna
2:23
mimic him. They're gonna follow him, Yeah,
2:26
to some extent, at whatever level. Well,
2:28
and and to cite my own example, he was
2:32
new and radical and loud
2:34
and rude and and out
2:36
of place. But that was years and years ago, and
2:38
it's just ramping up, up up, So you're
2:41
probably right. And I think it'd be fascinated to see Congress
2:43
turned into the House of Commons on steroids, with
2:45
both sides yelling at each other. And maybe
2:48
that wouldn't be terrible. Yeah, maybe
2:50
that wouldn't be terrible. Yeah, I don't
2:52
know. I don't know. I find
2:54
myself. I realized this number of years
2:56
ago. I like to watch the sports games, not
2:59
as much as i'd like to, and less
3:01
than I and more than I should. But
3:04
I finally convinced myself while
3:06
rooting for some of my favorite teams, Joe,
3:08
you have no influence on
3:10
the outcome none, not any,
3:13
and no matter the outcome, you will have roughly
3:15
the same life as you do now. So I
3:17
quit getting all wound up. Yeah,
3:19
I have gotten the whole dick Orum
3:22
in politics thing. I'd like to think
3:24
we have some small effect here at the Armstrong
3:26
and Getty Show and our award winning
3:29
One More Thing podcast, but let's
3:31
be serious, not really, so
3:34
it's gonna happen. I have gotten worked up
3:36
over many sporting events in my life
3:38
where I had to calm myself down by saying I have
3:40
no impact on this and it doesn't
3:43
matter. These are not my friends. They
3:45
wear laundry that is representing
3:47
the region I live in, and that's it. Have
3:49
you ever though, like
3:52
um
3:55
shot your TV when your team lost? Yeah, I
3:57
have your team's winning with your hat on
3:59
you for whatever reason, take your hat off they start to lose,
4:01
you put your hat back on. Yeah, you've ever done
4:04
that sort of thing? You ever done that, Sean? I
4:06
have friends You've never done it once.
4:09
I really that makes you smarter than me.
4:11
All right, here's a bro question for you, Sean. So
4:15
I got a buddy, huge Chiefs
4:17
fan. Okay, Kansas
4:19
City Chiefs embroiled in the playoffs.
4:22
If you're listening this once down the line, don't
4:24
tell me how it comes out anyway.
4:26
Um, he makes me send a
4:29
picture of my wolf cane to him
4:32
because he believes it has magical powers.
4:34
No, he doesn't really believe that, but it's become
4:36
a superstition now that I send
4:39
him the power of the wolf. Should
4:42
I refuse to do it to
4:44
make a point or would that make me a
4:46
bad friend? Is he joking around or is he serious
4:48
about it? He's not serious. The
4:52
farthest I've gone, there's two two two that
4:54
I can remember. The farthest I've gone. Um, one
4:56
time as a Kansas Jayhawks basketball
4:59
game, I've been listening in the car driving.
5:01
They were winning. I got home to watch the second
5:04
half. They started to lose. I went back out and got in the car
5:06
and drove around to see if they catch you back
5:08
up again. Did they win? I
5:10
don't remember. And then I know a Kansas
5:12
City Chiefs football game a similar situation.
5:14
I was watching at a sports bar where they're winning. I went home,
5:16
they started to lose. I got my car, went back to the sports
5:18
bar. Does
5:22
that make you a crazy person or it's
5:25
super rational? But it's more common than you think.
5:27
If if um,
5:30
it's really dumb, Let's see what effects are real. If
5:32
doing that helps you enjoy
5:34
the act of watching the games, more, go for
5:37
it. I'm oh, no, you gotta discipline
5:39
your mind. You can't be jerked around
5:41
by such a ridiculous, fanciful ideas.
5:43
Just be prepared to be mocked by friends like me.
5:46
See what effects are real? Would only that would
5:48
only that that statement would only be true if, like
5:50
me going back to the bar, the placekicker does make
5:52
the field goal, wouldn't it? Now? Are you sure you
5:54
didn't go back to the bar because of your well documented
5:56
love of alcohol? Of them an alcoholic right? I
5:59
had plenty of booze home. Okay. The
6:01
only just I'm just being thrown. Only time
6:03
I get worked up about a sporting event is
6:05
if I had made a carefully coordinated
6:09
financial investment in its outcome.
6:11
You actually bet? That's interesting? Is into sports
6:13
that I have been at various times. I've never been a betting
6:16
guy. Now, if I've got a financial investment,
6:18
Yes, I do get very superstitious,
6:21
and I do stand up at certain
6:23
points. I haven't started spinning
6:25
around yet, but I do stand up at certain
6:27
points. I have a friend who
6:30
if the team is on a run and they went
6:32
on a run, when you went outside to get another beer,
6:34
you can't come back in. You got
6:37
to stay out there until the until the change.
6:39
Understand. So I get it. So I'm I am
6:42
fully aware of this, and I think it's hilarious
6:44
and I love all my friends to do it. But it's absolutely
6:46
mockable. You know you think i'd know this at this point?
6:48
Marshall? Are you a sports fan? Guy?
6:50
I know you're bad, but I make financial
6:53
investments in certain But were you Have
6:55
you ever attended a major league sporting events?
6:57
Yea baseball games,
7:00
super Bowl one year? Yeah, as
7:02
a journalist. So have you ever worn a sports jersey
7:04
for a team? Would you like to
7:06
borrow some of mine? Because I have? Do you have a
7:08
favorite team? Yes? Yeah,
7:11
I do have. I have a couple of favorite teams.
7:14
Dodgers was gonna they played
7:16
at the Polo Ground. Please? You've
7:19
ever attended an NBA game? In National
7:21
Basketball? You have actually had courtside
7:23
seats to one? Layers Lakers?
7:26
HL? No? No,
7:29
hockey is great. I'm thinking of taking my son
7:31
to an NHL game, getting like really good
7:34
seats pretty fun. A
7:36
sports bucket list thing for me is
7:39
seats on the glass home
7:41
team for a Stanley Cup game, the
7:44
best sporting experience. You
7:47
probably want to have some ear plugs
7:50
in his ears and I'll explain the game to him
7:52
as it goes, because there are a couple of main points
7:54
to enjoy hockey. If you don't understand them, it's
7:56
confusing. But they're a child.
7:58
Can understand them. Once you get what
8:01
they're doing and why they're doing it and why the guy just
8:03
blew the whistle. It's gonna be the best place
8:05
because we're just gonna enjoy the running into each
8:07
other, probably mostly behind the goalie,
8:09
like if I get really good seats behind the goalie good, or like
8:11
in the middle where you can see both sides, like
8:14
fifty yard line, if you will, you know what, if
8:16
you want to see action close to you, I would
8:18
get um between the blue
8:20
line and the goal line on the side
8:23
I know where that is only because you
8:25
will, because you very similar,
8:28
Because you will have big
8:30
nasty Canadians slamming
8:32
into each other a foot in front of
8:34
you. Yeah. Maybe the occasional Russian,
8:37
oh yeah, there will be oh yeah, and the
8:39
stray Fin marshall um,
8:41
and you will have hockey pucks spacking
8:43
against the glass right in front of your
8:45
boy. Guaranteed, this
8:48
hockey does not translate the TV. I did not appreciate
8:51
so much of the athleticism and the size
8:53
of these guys. Speed of the game
8:55
is spectacular. They are flying on the
8:57
ice. Yeah. It reminds me of the NBA.
8:59
You go, you can watch fifty NBA games
9:02
and you think, wow, they're really they're moving
9:04
the ball around. That's good. And then you go to a game
9:06
and you realize they are whipping that ball
9:08
around so hard it would break both
9:10
of your thumbs and then your nose if
9:12
you try to catch an NBA pass your
9:14
average geek, Oh yeah, or you'd take it right
9:17
in the faith. Well that's yeah, that's what I'm saying,
9:20
blast right through your hands and into your cranium.
9:23
Anyway. Anyway, Oh
9:25
no, I want to talk about Major League Soccer next.
9:27
I thought the price, the pitch, the
9:31
the corner kicks. It's
9:33
