There's No Such Thing As a Recession in My Business! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a recession in my business.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Before we get to that. Joe was out for a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: little bit during the radio show today, and when he
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: came back, he was talking about having walk up music
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: like the baseball players have.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be really cool. I mean, just just to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: psych up like that and get pumped up and the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: whole crowds with you and everything. Walk up music for
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: real life. I like that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: So Hansen came up with He asked AI to come
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: up with walk up music for Joe, and he's got
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: three different examples, I guess, which are all terrible, I'm told. Anyway,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: let's hear them.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Before before you hit that. I think that the good
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: folks might find this at least mildly interesting. We can't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: play like recognizable songs anymore, at least not much of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: like a song, you know, a song that's been on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the radio, song that's been published, because the radio industry
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: has had decades long agreements with the licensing services about
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: playing music on the radio. But the world of podcasting
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is new, and they just they don't have an agreement
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that works. And so, you know, the various companies that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: we do business with could be on the receiving end
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of some unpleasant legal action. And so if we're going
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to come up with music like this, I mean I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: could mention some existing songs that'd be great walk up
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: music for me.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why people hold to that in the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: modern world. If I'm a band, I want people playing
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: my music is often as much. I don't care if
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I don't get a cent I want it out there
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: people thinking about it, thinking, oh, yeah, that song, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: want to hear that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know exactly what the dynamics are there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It could be the licensing companies themselves that are they're
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: struggling for relevance in the twenty first century. I don't know.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: But anyway, AI, which is the new frontier Jack, Katie Michael,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this is going to lead us into the brave new world.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: AI has come up with some for me specifically, Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Joe Getty walk up. He's oh, this is exciting.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, I can picture this. I can picture you walking
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: into a room with this music frame.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a shirtless Viking.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're clearly.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Shirtless, blowing my long hair.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's funny. I was picturing shirtless also oily shiny. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you walk into a room and I see you looking around,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: gazing around the room.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: See, I'm not in a room in this city. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm up on the top of a cliff
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: across the scene.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm picturing the Gollum picture.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: We aid, not too hard, not too long, agoffl Wow,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: my big local prophets.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so there's one. But to get away from
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the theme of what we're talking about here, how about
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the fact that, hey, I created that. That sounds like
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: something some Oscar winning music composer for a motion picture
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: got paid a million dollars.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: For right, and we all know his name because he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: wins Oscars.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It is amazing and scary and discouraging and fun all
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: at once.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Anyway, HiT's her another one.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Apparently, I'm hosting a morning TV show with Kelly rip
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: On in this scenario, I feel like you're pointing to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in the crowd in this one.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Huh, there you are.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And here's a shot of me with my head thrown
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: back offing. Here's a shot of me rubbing my chin
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: looking thoughtful.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, this is exactly I went to Snooze E
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: seven with Joe Getty. It's got you, you know, when
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: your sleeves rolled up at a fire.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It sounds like more like a morning TV for house
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: frous boy.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, that was two. Let's hear number three. Now, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: feel like you're hosting a Paget.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Wow or an a words show.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I certainly picture you with your jacket off,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: slung over your shoulder with this music.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Hanson said he was trying to get at
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: like the theme from Rocky ish Field Going, but this
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: feels more Awards show to me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: This could be the music for a sitcom in the eighties.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Their dad comes home, while there's the kids, there's mom
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen. Why's dad mad?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Starring Joe Geddy? Right?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Why is dad mad?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Patricia Heaton?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: What a good thing for a show? Why is dad mad?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I like that first one though, Give me the first
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: one again, just briefly, because I want I want that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: play when I want to.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Take my shirt off again when I'm at home, walk.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Through the door at home. I want my kids to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: play this. Go ahead and play yes when I get
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that is hope? Father, father?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: How have you a Telly's tree? Did you baba, I'll
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: take you about half an hour to get home, thanks
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: for asking me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is some swelling music.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Your shirt. Your woman appears at the other end of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the field with her hair, her hair also blowing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: In the wind, and she needs me so badly now,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: certainly within the next hour. So okay, that's enough of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: those hijinks.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Viking or Scotsman. Maybe even weren't a kilt
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in that one. I don't know it all right. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: my only complaint about when I have to take a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: little time off is Jack always has our favorite guests on.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I cheat selfishly hoarding them to himself, even though I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: would be delighted to talk to them. And I miss
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: not only a chat with the great Tim Sanderfer today,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: although he we got an email. I saw that he
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is against originalism in scott constitutional analysis.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you're getting in, you're slicing it thin now, he's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a textualist, not an originalist. I mean, it's yeah, you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: got to you gotta look into that stuff and understand.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It, right, right, Okay, fair enough, But always love talking
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to him and listening to him. But also, judge, Larry,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you got to talk to Katie's dad judge Larry Hey today. Well, right,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: but not only was he a judge, he was an
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: embalmer about that trade. How'd that chat go?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The reason I ask is, I just came
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: across this article in the Free Press. I'm a mortician.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I love my job, and he explains why, and it's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: really quite eloquent and beautiful. Hmm.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: What about the creepy factor? They're dead, dead bodies?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I think you get past that pretty quickly.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure everybody does. I think you're either built
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: forward or you're not.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: That was one of the things that my dad mentioned
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: is that my grandfather was a surgeon and my grandmother
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: was a nurse, so he was, you know, kind of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: used to the medical world and ended up becoming an
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: EMT and not.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: The first time he's been around a dead body, because
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: he talked about he got the job at the funeral
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: home or whatever, and then he kind of jumped to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: so I was down there with the dead bodies.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Well, whoa, whoa, whoa?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: How do you how do you end up? I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: because I'd never been around a dead body when I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: was eighteen years old, and I certainly wasn't like feeling one,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: manipulating one, dressing it, that sort of stuff. Right, So, yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you have to ease into that whole thing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I'd imagine it only takes a little while, though. I mean,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you seem to suggest that you just some people couldn't ever,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and that's probably true. But I think for a lot
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of us, you just you get come to terms with
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the reality. I toured a morgue, a county morgue, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I went from I was never freaked out. I was
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: concerned that I might be freaked out, but then I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: don't surrounded by all those poor deceased people. Pretty pretty
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you pretty quickly get used to the idea and except
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the reality of it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't mind being around dead people. I don't
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: believe in ghosts or anything like that, so that doesn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: bother me. I don't want to be touching them, though,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be like undressing them and putting
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: pants on them and stuff like that. I wouldn't really
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: enjoy that. I'm sure you could get Anybody can get
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: used to anything, but it's more of a do you
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: want to get used to?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Is the question when when you know, when your boss says,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: how'd you like to start dressing the corpses, and you think,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I think there's other things I'd rather do.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess the gig. If he tells you, hey,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I need you to do that, you do it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what he said. That's exactly what Katie's dad said.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: The boss told me I had to do it, so
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I just did it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And he talked about, uh, dressing one guy whose legs
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: kept recrossing. He would uncross them to put the socks on,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and then go around and crossed again, and then they'd
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: cross and he said, after relax that way, Yeah, yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Did he did he get to the body noises?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: We didn't. We didn't say about that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's probably the more recently passed that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: There are various expulsions, and often they will result in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like groans. Oh no, that would freak me the fuck out. Sorry,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: sorry for the bleeping.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: If I'm at the Morgan, they're in the and then
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: that shelf thing there, or like the sock drawer, you
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: push them in there. Yeah, and now I hear a
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: moan out of there. I think I gotta at least
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: do my due diligence and check.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And see if this person's alive.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, jeez, that a dead groan?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Or is that an I'm still here grown?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Is that let me out here? What the hell am
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I doing in a drawer drown Is this merely the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: contraction of the human body passing wind past your vocal
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: cords making noise? Or is this person fine and wants out?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You see those stories of people that you know, they
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: go get to the funeral home and then all of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: a sudden they wake.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Up or whatever. Yeah, it does happen now, and then
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: there they're haling you to the morgan that turns out, hey,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm okay.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Goodness. That's in the modern world. But uh yeah, that's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the expression saved by the bell. I just
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: thought that was a boxing thing, but no, it's a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. What was the plague? Uh in like
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds. Gosh, what was that disease that uh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you would be so sick that it seemed like you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: were dead. It was hard to detect any pulse or breathing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But sometimes people would not be dead, and so they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: installed a system where there was a string from like
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: on top of your grave down into the grave into
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: your coffin. What I never hear. You could pull on
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the string and ring the bell. That's the hey do
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do me a solid and dig me up bell.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's saved by the bell means. That's what
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I'm told nobody.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You're totally right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely right, because I I remember looking this up.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows that when they say saved by the bell.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But uh, you're pretty far along in the process. If
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: you're in the cats get in the ground. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you're really down to the end here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You know. Honestly, I think most of that was to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: reassure people they would see those bells and think, if
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: they get me wrong, I'll have a bell, and you'd
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: be slightly less freaked out about being ill.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Again, the reasons, as we discussed him during the show,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: reasons to be glad you live in the twenty first century.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So the bell's ringing and say, hey, Jaez, oh my god, Jim,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: grab a shovel. We gotta he started digging you down.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And then you say, I am really sorry about that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Our bad, my bad. I take full responsibility.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Look, you died, well you didn't die, but we thought
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you died. It was already five o'clock. I was I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: was about to punch out, So was I a little hasty?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you could have said something. I mean, I'm
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: not making it on.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You, but right, well in the seventeen hundreds, a brain
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: scan was hey, right, And if you didn't respond to that,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he's dead. Put the string in his hand just in case,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: ight around his finger. That's interesting. Yeah, grim's fair. Huh. Anyway,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this guy, uh, he says, I'm a mortician. I love
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: my job. I live in the middle ground, handling the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: bodies of the dead with enough grace to touch the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: souls of the living.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: That's nice.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: That's some nice, nice writing. I think I'll keep doing this.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But it's honorable work, and God bless you if you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: do it with sensitivity.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I guess one of the reasons I think it's a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: calling or a vocation as opposed to just you know
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: he ended up in this job is there was a
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: kid I knew in high school that wanted to do that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: His whole plan was to go to Uh. Of course
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: he might be imprisoned now with fifty deaths.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should have looked into that. Maybe that's the reason.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But he just that was his he wanted to do that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It was his family business, and he wanted to stay
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: in the family business. And so maybe you have a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: calling for that, like you know, like I've got a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: friend who does hospice work, and that's not for everybody.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: That's what he always says. This is not for everybody,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: all right, that's.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: What my mom DIDs chaplain, right, it's.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Sort of a calling. So maybe that's it. Yeah, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: then if you're okay, go ahead and ring the bell.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'll be right in.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take more than an hour or so, you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: as long as you know, as long as somebody hears it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But don't worry about so I'll bet somebody to hear it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: probably unless it's at night, but just if it is,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: just keep ringing it. If you ring the bell, I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: don't know, once every fifteen minutes.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: If you ring the bell five thirty pm, it's going
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to be nine am earliest before we can get to everybo.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, relaxed for a while. You've been sick. You need
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the rest. Anyway, Well, that was something, well, I guess
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: The lighter side of being buried alive
