• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Come for the sound fridge, stay for the lazy dumbasses.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Before we get to cleaning out the sound fridgege.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: That's right, metal guy, way to be ready.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Before we get to that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Here's a tease for tomorrow's radio show Fridays, because you
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: don't know what tomorrow is on a podcast, Friday's Armstrong
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and Giddy Radio Show, we'll talk about the California Highway
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Patrol's new piece of equipment to try to deal with
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it says high speed chases, but then.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: It talks about pursuits. I assume every pursuit is in
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a high speed chase. Probably most of them are.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it's when they flip on the lights behind you
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and you don't pull over and have to chase you,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: which I've always thoughts insane. I can't imagine ever doing that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: That's gonna make my life. Whatever I've just done, that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: they flipped the whole the lights for is gonna get
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: exponentially worse by me running and I'm not gonna get away.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the key, because if you're a felon on
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: probation in possession of drugs, I get you shouldn't, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But you're probably you're not gonna get away most likely, right,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and things are gonna get so bad for you anyway.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: How many.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Highway patrol pursuits were there last.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Year thirteen thousand, six hundred and twenty seven, almost teen
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: thousand times in one year in the state of California.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Did the cops flip on the lights behind somebody.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And they run?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I would I would have not guessed even close to that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I thought it was very very rare.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Big state, many highways. But yeah, damn, that's a lot.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll talk about that more on Friday, May eighth.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Armstrong and Giddy show fantastic. All right, so let's clean
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: out sound fridge for a couple of minutes. Let's see
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: what do we say we're gonna do?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Ah? Yes, this does this need set up? This is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a Delta passenger at lax Hi.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Delta associates that aren't paying attention, please come to thirty
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: You have a customer waiting.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Please come and help the customer at thirty feet.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Anybody on on shift literally nobody wants to spot.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: That's fine, I'll just keeping the broadcast.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: No, sure, the captain just walked away from me and
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: saying I could go somewhere else.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: So does anybody want to help with customer service?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I've certainly felt that way before.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I would be concerned that if I jump on the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: mic and say, does anybody work for Delta? You've got
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a customer here who paid eighteen hundred dollars to get
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to Saint Louis, and can anybody help me?
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Anyone?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But I'd be afraid if I jumped on the mic,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that I've violated some post nine to eleven terrorism law
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that's gonna put me in Gitmo for twenty years.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I would like to know that, guess I would. I mean,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: get Mo looks lovely, very cribbing, but yeah, otherwise, that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: guy's a hero. I love that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I could certainly see doing that at a home depot
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: or a Walmart or something.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Part of the problem is in California anything, every everything's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: locked up, so you can't blame the home the Walmart.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I had this situation where couldn't get anybody to come
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: unlock you know, the hammers or whatever it was, because
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: every piece of tools. But after like twenty minutes, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: was yelling out loud does anybody want to sell me
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a hammer?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Anyone?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I've got money, you've got a hammer. Let's make a deal.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Anybody here want to sell a guy a hammer?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: White kids were so embarrassed.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, but well done. Oh that's so frustrating.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: All right? Moving along, This is a Catholic priest telling
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a story about the new Chicago pope.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Two months in he calls his bank to change his
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: phone number, and so he gets the lady says, yes, ma'am,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I'm Robert Prevos, I'd like to change. She asks all
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the security questions and then it is oh, I'm sorry, sir.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: It says here you have to come in person, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: he said, well, that's not going to I'm not going
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: to be able to do that. Would it matter to
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: you if I told you I'm Pope Leo? She hung
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: up on him. Could you imagine being known as the
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: woman who hung up on the pope?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So I get to be an humble thing, but you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: don't have people to handle that for you as the pope.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I would think you have people they can handle that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, no, no, what bank in America would say, well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you claim to be representing Jack Armstrong? Okay, we'll change
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the data on the account.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: There's a chance, Yeah, there is. I do it on
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a regular basis because I'm so busy. I've actually had
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to hire people.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: To do this sort of stuff. When they let them
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: do it, you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Got to give them all your passwords and access and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all this sort of stuff.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But that's funny because I mean, like Judy and I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have various things even I connected to the work benefits
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and whatever or trips we've booked together, that they won't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: let her do anything really, even though she's my freaking wife.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah wow, Wow, And.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You get on the phone and say, she's my freaking wife.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, what's the matter with you? Jackasses? Yeah? Yeah, interesting,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I would not have guessed that. Yeah, the Pope's gotta
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: have minions. How about those guys in a fancy guard uniform.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Put down your gigantic acts. What are you gonna use
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that for anyway? And call my bank for me? I'm
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Pope. Forget about it all right, Michael fourteen. The
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: baseball thing, does it need any setup?
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: There is a term called dry humping, and.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm familiar with it, okay in baseball.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: In baseball, there's a high school couple dry humping out
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on the outfield.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Different, different thing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: This is a Florida Marlins pitcher explaining what happens.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: The dry hump is win. As a reliever, they call down.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: You start warm enough. Obviously there's degrees of it. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: worst dry humps are the ones to which you then
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: have to fire it off and be as warm as
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: you would be to go in a game with no
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: guarantee that you go in a game, and if you
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: then say your team does not score a run, you
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: sit back down and you have been dry humped. Well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: one dry hump usually is okay. Two dry humps does
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: not feel very good. I think in my career I've
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: been dry humped three times once and I felt like
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: I couldn't move my arm for about eight hours.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a pretty good metaphor.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Ballpark. Got a couple up there, looks like they're.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Us, appeared to be in love and dry jumping.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Good night for the gentleman. Not going to be terribly
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: satisfying for the gentleman ultimately, Jim anyway, Oh and two, but.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Better than nothing, wouldn't you say, Steve? Would you better
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: than nothing?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Geddy get loose? All right?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and five minutes later, sit down. They don't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: need you. Yeah, very very frustrating. You know, that was actually,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like I said, a very good metaphor. Baseball has a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: number of U slang terms within it which could be
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: seen by some sensitive listeners as sexist, because you get
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes who travel around with each other
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and and and you know, wise crack and you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a whole locker room thing on steroids. You do it
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for a living. So that was not as bad as
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it might be. I'm like a slumpbuster, as
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the great Mark Brace once explained, No google it. I'm
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: not gonna tell you. It's course and hurtful toward women
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: who are willing to get with a ball player for
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a brief encounter I do not approve of. But again,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: if you want to google it, google it all right. So,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: were you gonna head over to the I don't like
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to work for him? Oh?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: No, tomorrow, am you?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Oh that's tomorrow? Yeah?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, something to looking forward since we're cleaning out the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: zund fridge.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Is it clipper done? Okay, that's it. There's just those
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: three things.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Back to the high speed chase thing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Briefly, the fact that fourteen thousand people run from the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: cops every year just in California.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I find that extraordinary.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So that means I know nothing about this. But in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the back of my mind I'm wondering, is if you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: flip on your lights and you floor it from the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: median or whatever, and you go after somebody and as
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: soon as they are where you want them, they pull over,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: even though it took a couple of miles or whatever.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Is that a quote unquote pursuit? Good question. I don't know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Are they all chases exactly or I don't know because
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that number strikes me as very very high.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: You're right, that's a good question.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: All I know is that they've got a new piece
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: of equipment that they would only matter in a pursuit
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: where somebody's running. They've come up with this like contraption
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that is mounted on the front of highway patrol vehicles
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and then you can shoot it out like you're James
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Bond or something like that, and its go around the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: back wheels of the car like you're Batman, and then
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you like drag it to a stop.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Oh sounds very dangerous to me.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But according to this article in the Only Times you
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: got to be within five feet, and that seems really
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: unrealistic to me. Hmmm, that you could, without risking lots
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: of people's lives, be within five feet of the car
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: in front of you to enact this piece of machinery.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of high speed chases are pretty nascary.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I saw? It was funny. It's connected
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to when I was ranting about feeding me a chase
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: video that has no resolution. I sat there watching it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: for five minutes and at the end they're just still chasing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: The guy was so pissed off. What was interesting was
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: when they were talking to the vagabond who ran from
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the cops, and they the cops know, all right, this
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: guy could be a runner, uncooperative, weird excuses, you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, he's gonna take take a run for
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: One of the cops gently, unbeknownst to the scumbag, nudged
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a device called the wrecker, the killer, the tire effor upper,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, but he nudged this device under the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: car as they were talking to him, and sure enough,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the I took off and immediately had a flat tire.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Oh that's an interesting like the spike.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Strips that they lay out during a chase. But like
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a preemptive spike strip.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You're a particularly dumb person if you run at that point.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So I think running is moronic to start with. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: at least he got the chance of getting away, combined
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: with the chance of wasn't me in that car combined whatever.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: But if you're sitting there and they get a good
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: look at you and everything like that and then you're
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: gonna run, well, here a certain kind of moron anyway.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Of the fourteen thousand pursuits, and we don't have a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: definition on that yet, twenty six hundred resulted in a crash.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Two six hundred crashes because of a highway patrol pursuit
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: in California. That's way too many because anytime there's a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: crash that could have been you know, me and my
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: kids in the car or something like that. We got
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to treat those running from the cops like you went
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: into a mall started firing off shots with a gun,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: because you got a deadly weapon you're slinging around.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I'm with you absolutely where that's.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Got to be very high.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And for what it's worth, that figure makes me think
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the original figures actual chases.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes me think that too.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: So here's some slump buster think I got a little
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: meth in the car. I know I'm gonna do him
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: run from the cops. That's not a good idea.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure you understand the term, but it could fit.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Bing it, bring it, ai It Rockets.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Just saw a YouTube video jack of a police chase
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that ended poorly. The guy got out of the car,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: started running from the cops, and the police dog was released,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and you can imagine how that went.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: With a neck.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess that's it.
