Like a Trash Bin · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What you have to understand is in Great Britain, they
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: call a garbage can a bin. It's one more thing. What?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. Like a trash bin.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Now that's a tease. I came across this tweet from J.K.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Rowling before we get to that. She's. She's pretty snarky.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: She's the one who wrote the Harry Potter books and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: seems to spend her entire life battling people on Twitter
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: about the trans issue. If I became a billionaire, I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: don't know that that's what I'd do with my time. But,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever she enjoys. Somebody had some trans activist
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: person who appears to be trans had tweeted out. Trans
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: acceptance will not be complete until cis people are okay
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: with the idea of not knowing what genitals their date
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: has until they have sex.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good idea.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It's literally so very not a big deal. So you
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: want to live in a world where I meet somebody,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: don't know whether they got a penis or not, don't care,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and find out The first time we get intimate, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I'm perfectly okay with whichever it is. Whatever it turns
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: out to be, yeah. That's the world you're hoping for.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, two innies, two outies, one of each, whatever.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: It's fine. I'm sure we're on, I'm sure we're marching
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that direction, and someday that's the world we will live in.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That is so crazy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Anyway, J.K. Rowling's pretty funny response was, tricky. Because I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: already know what genitals my husband has. Would you accept
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: both of us acting surprised once we're naked? Or could
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we just shake hands first and agree that we'll soldier
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: on if something's changed since last time?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: That is dryly fabulous.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But that, I mean, the whole thing, obviously, has been
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a complicated conversation. But the idea that you think the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: perfect world would be I don't care. I'm not interested.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm willing to wait until the first time we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: show each other. And then I will react with no
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: emotion whatsoever to either a penis or a vagina. It
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter to me. I have no interest whatsoever.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of our discussion that until fairly recently,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have the slightest idea what somebody's politics were.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: If you're just meeting with perhaps a romantic prospect in mind,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not only would you not care, you wouldn't even think
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of it, not like for a really long time. They want...
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Your actual physical sex to be that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So I'll bet there they do want to know that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So like your dating profiles and everything like that, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: would have to nail down your politics. You would discuss
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: what kind of music you like and all kinds of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: different issues. But the one that we're not going to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: even touch is whether you got a penis or a vagina.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: We'll just discover that together someday. And by the way,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter to me what you have, which is
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: so crazy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I might not even remark on it. Having found out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Because you see, when I get to that moment, I'm really, really,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: really fingers crossed, toes crossed.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It's a vagina. I have specific intent. Yes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: My brain is going, this could be a reality show.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You know, they do like married at first sight.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's like I saw, I think Netflix or somebody had
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: one a while back where everybody kept their age to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: themselves because it was a bunch of people that don't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: look their age. So you didn't tell anybody your age
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and then they got together. And then I guess I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: never watched long enough because it was so stupid to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: get to the big reveal.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm actually 63. Oh my God. You are?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: In this case, it'll be, I was really hoping for
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a giant egg because that would fit. That would fit
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: with my penis thing really perfectly. I mean, they go
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: together like peanut butter and jelly. I mean, like Abbott
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and Costello. It's really a good team. But here we
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: are with two penises, so I don't know what now.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Well, you shouldn't even care. You bigot.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to react exactly the same no matter which
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it turns out to be.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Anybody got an idea for what the show would be called?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: What's my junk?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got more of a game show aspect to it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Where you would just, you'd have contestants and a buzzer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Behind the fly.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's a man who has man. And then
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they walk around, they drop their pants and you take
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a look.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, more bigotry. A man can have a vagina, Jack. Right,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have used that. Remember.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Stop using gendered language.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You're such a transphobe.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what's your little story, Katie, before.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: We get to Joe?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, it is so little compared to that topic we
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: just had. I had to go into mama bear mode
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: at the store over the weekend. So I had Van,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: my little three-month-old in the stroller. Cute.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Cute. And I have to tell you, old ladies, they
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: love babies, man. No doubt. They love the babies.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And I'm standing there waiting for someone to get the
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: hell out of the way because everybody seems to always
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: be in the way when you're at the store. But anyway,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: this woman comes up and she goes, oh, I.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Just love babies.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And she pulls the visor back on the stroller.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Hands off the stroller, lady.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And kind of like reach, like, it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Was like slow motion. She looked like she was going
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to reach for him.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So I kind of put my arm out and I
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: was like, Yeah, isn't he adorable? And she kind of like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, snapped her hands back.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: To go with what we were just talking about.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: The balls on that woman. The balls on that woman.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I could never. Out of bounds.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Just comes up, cranks the thing back, and I'm like, oh.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I remember that, too. They're so willing to get up
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: so close and start touching your baby.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Like, dude.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Ma'am. Almost punched an elderly woman. That was my story
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: from the beginning.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I would never think of touching somebody else's baby. Right?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And just cranking the thing back on the stroller?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Here, let me take a look.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me see what's in there, huh? Let me
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: stick my finger in his mouth. I don't feel any
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: teeth in there yet, huh? Anyway.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Wow. Can I stick my finger in your son's belly button?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: No, you cannot, Michael.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Give him a little tickle. Good Lord, people. Don't do this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, if you don't know to not do this,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you're probably not listening to this podcast. True.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: All right, so the whole, in the UK, they call
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a garbage can a bin, a dust bin. Again, fascinating stuff.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Or what have you. I mention that because the anti-establishment,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how would you describe the whole phenomenon that brought on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Brexit and Trump and all the crazy political movements going
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on in the developed world? It's just discontent in some sort.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We're just unhappy with the way things are. Throw the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: bums out, whoever the bums are.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: When that numbskull who will last probably six weeks became
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: prime minister, his seat in parliament opened up, I guess.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: It's an odd system. But Nigel Farage, the weirdly, is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he right-wing reform UK leader, is running for the seat.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And they had a runoff. top two vote getters advanced
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to the final much like, you know, our elections in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: some cases, but, uh, and Farage was the number one finisher.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The number two finisher was count bin face, the self-described
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: intergalactic space warrior, who is a guy who goes around
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in a homemade, but extremely well-made like spaceman outfit. But his,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he has like a garbage can face. Are you looking
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at his costume right now, Katie? No, I'm on my
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: way there. Oh, I should have been face. Oh, there's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: been face.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a good, good costume, isn't it? Yeah, it's great. Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Text that to the crew. I should have earlier, but.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: He reminds me of like a dubstep DJ. You know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: they always have the big things on their heads and
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: they're up there spinning.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: No, I have no idea what that is. Why?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Why did you decide to have a garbage can for
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a head?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's a comment on the politics of great Britain.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Count garbage can face is going to, I mean,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it's the Bodie McBoat face of candidates and he's in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the runoff. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Zap that around Katie.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's on its way. Okay, great.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling he's going to win.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: He's a, he might beat Nigel Farage. It's certainly possible.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It depends how alienated Brits are really. There it is.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good costume.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't it? A little slip for his eyes lights up. Oh,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that's nice. So he's got a garbage can head that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he can look through like a portal, like he's a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Disney character, not a Disney World or something, Disneyland. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it appears he's got some hockey shoulder pads painted black
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and like a weird groin covering thing. Anyway, he has
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: unveiled his manifesto. His full manifesto is actually some pretty
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: brilliant political satire. It is a 20-point plan. One, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: will boost the region's economy, prestige, and fame. Two, I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: will cut your taxes and raise everyone else's. Let's see.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's pounds, but I'm going to say
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a dollar just to simplify. Bus fares will be capped
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: at $ 1. 99 and 99 flake ice creams to cost more
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: than 99 cents. That must be a thing in Britain.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I promise to spend more time in my district than
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C., and to champion the area. Wow. Let's see. MPs,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: members of parliament who resign mid-parliament, will be barred from
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the resulting by-election. Okay, that's a comment. I pledge to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: build at least one affordable house. I like this guy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Arcade grabber games will be made fairer so players actually
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have a chance to win. Finally.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Now that's funny. My kids would be all for that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I'm voting for that guy.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Skipping ahead. Arcade grabber games. There will be
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a windfall tax on cozy crime novels written by written
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: by celebrities. I have a feeling that's a comment on
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: something that's happened in Britain, but that's funny. Uh, let's see.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Potholes will be filled using copies of the labor party manifesto. Uh,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: let's see. Um, people who drive past Clacton station, that's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the town with annoyingly loud exhausts will lose their driver's licenses. Um,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Let's see. We will hold a referendum on whether Pluto
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: should regain its planet status. The hand dryer in the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: gent's toilet at the Great Himalayas restaurant, Southport, will be
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: moved to a more sensible position. I like that one.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: It's very specific.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's his favorite restaurant, I guess. Count Binface will represent
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the UK at Eurovision 2027. That's the big pop music
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: contest that Britain has. So he's declaring himself the representative.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And he says, I stand by my past manifestos. I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Speaker phones. Nationalizing Adele. Like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: he's nationalizing the oil industry. I read his argument. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: was like, all of her songs are practically public domain anyway,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: so we should be getting her... Her royalties. Let's see.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: There it is.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I will lower your taxes and raise everyone else's. Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: That is good.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: We're in a snarky mood, Western civilization.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He could win.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Count Binface.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: When's the election?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They just held the... Yeah, I don't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: know when the big election is coming up. I will
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: have to check.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But he made the top two.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well done, Count. And, you know, it represents the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: tradition of royalty as well as a nobleman.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I wonder where the hand dryer is. Sometimes they're, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: like right behind the door. So you're going to get
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: whacked in the head while you're trying to stand there.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Well, not anymore. Not if Count Binface gets elected.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Katie, the old lady who waters the produce in the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: grocery store, she wants to blow raspberries on your son's stomach.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
