Armstrong and Getty

The best radio show in the nation.

Yay! I’ve been listening for 10+ years. love A&G! I listen as soon as I get up in the morning, and I’m really lucky to be able to listen while at work. People at work think I’m crazy because I’m always laughing. I’ve grown to really appreciate the input of Vince and Pos Sean too (it took a while to get use to them), the current show is a great mix of personalities. This is slightly embarrassing, but I once titled an online dating profile «must be an A&G fan», unfortunately 100% of responses were banking on that meaning anal & g_​_​_​_​_​ (who knows??? — they all said they’d be up for whatever G meant lol).
The only downside of the holiday season is Best of A&G :p
Please never retire/​die/​get fired. :)

I grew up with talk radio; my dad would turn on the radio in kitchen every morning. In those days, it was BBC and later it was KFBK. My wife doesn’t get talk radio (and doesn’t like it when I whistle tunes. but that’s another review). I guess it’s comforting to me and have also learned to accept it as entertainment and don’t get worked up.
Unfortunately, my commute isn’t long enough to take in more than 20 minutes each morning. Honestly, I don’t have a radio in the house or in the garage … that’s weird.
On to Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. What a couple of entertaining characters and they’re somewhat radio buffoonery. They too know it’s entertainment and take themselves only a little seriously. I’ve been a long time listener and will continue for as long as their on-​air and I can tune them in.
However, I deduct 1 star for Vince. I cannot stand that whiney voice. That is not a voice I want to hear on the radio. To boot, he is too eager to interject in conversation, thoughts working faster than his mouth, … a mess. I would not miss Vince.

You know, I’m usually a big fan of this place. Great service. But yesterday my steak was well done, the artisanal toast was soggy, and ol’ Simple Jack must have been on the Keurig ’cause my coffee took FOREVER!

Better than having a toaster in the workplace!

You can review THIS??? What? I love these guys! Consistently good. They’ve been on Talk 650 KFBK for years.
My go to travel morning radio station. One of the ONLY cons to my current Walk To Work Because Work Is A Mile Away situation is not being a Commuter Listener anymore.
I’m sure there are people that would whine that Jack and Joe are too right wing or some such nonsense, but I mainly find them HILARIOUS. Their take on sports and current events is often spot on and makes my sides hurt I’m laughing so hard. They’re cool dudes. I am a long time fan.

Joe Armstrong and Jack Getty are two knuckleheads on the radio. Listen to the radio show. There was once a producer named Dominic. He disappeared and no one is allowed to talk about him. (Cannibalism ?). Dominic was replaced by Negitive Sean. Vince is mentally ill. Michelangelo started work on the Sistine Chapel in 1508. Joe has a home in Davis, but he never says Davis, he says «a bicycle friendly college town». Jack is anti haiku.
Jack can not haiku
To dumb to count syllables
Jack is a jackass

These guys reminds me going to that lively coffee clutch corner of the college cafeteria that got my «MOJO» goin’ before going to class.
Always informative, peppered with «intelligent» humor, satirical comments, and a remarkable restraint from pointless «silliness». I don’t feel «NORMAL» unless I hear A&G everyday (thank God for podcast). Like eating toast without jam.

My dad used to listen to these guys when he drove me to school, and I’m still a fan over ten years later. Yes, I know what that makes me. This is hands-​down the best talk show I’ve heard on the radio, nothing else comes close. I used to listen to the podcast in Iraq (you already have an international show!). Hilarious and nice to get a more libertarian perspective on things for a change.

Joe Getty invited me to a bill Cosby concert, and then touched me in my private area.
Vince was much nicer when he was fat. Now he dates girls that change their own oil.
Michael is a man of mystery.
Sean has a cat. Enough said.
Marshall has enough lung butter to stock a Costco. He invited me to thunder valley, and the dump, fueled by the grape of course.
Jack owns slaves on his souplantation. They pick out presents for his wives, like pans, and then tweets about it.
They have a good job, I have a good job.
Kftc.

Well, I see Unilocal has taken down my lame attempt at humor.
My original review read like that of a bad Mexican restaurant. See, THAT was the joke! (sigh).
I’ve been listening since forever and when I can’t, I download the podcast.
While certainly right of center, don’t expect strict adherence to any party line, they’ll happily savage anyone and everyone. It’s the only radio show I know of that can segue from a serious topic like ISIS to the idiocy of pop culture in one segment.
The support crew is also worthy of mention. Vince, Michaelangelo, Marshall and Positive Sean, who made me run out and buy an Xbox One when he announced that the trailer for Fallout 4 had been released.
Best. Show. Evar.
KFTC indeed.

Been listening to them since the days of Jamie Coffee. The only times I am disappointed in the show is when it’s a ‘best of.’ show, and even then it’s often stuff I missed. I give them abt ½ hour on my commute everyday if possible. Usually I laugh out loud at least a couple of times every morning and a few times Joe has had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe, and that is rare for me. There are no ‘sacred cows’ on their show, anyone and everyone is fair game. I was in complete agreement when they stopped taking calls on-​air as most of the callers were too dumb to even put a complete thought into words. The ‘back-​up’ staff is excellent, funniest ‘news’ segments ever.
(Used to be a fan of the KHTK ‘Rise Guys’, but the moronic ‘sports-​bro’ attitudes get old. After they left KHTK, that morning show went downhill quickly, had the horrible Don Geronimo era, and now it’s unlistenable.)

They are the best at mixing comedy with the problems of the world which makes them fun to listen too.

My family and I have been listening to Armstrong and Getty since the 90’s when they were released from prison for a string of multi state homicides due to lack of credible evidence. I listen to them daly via the podcasts even though I have been threatened by Jack as he claims I am stealing food out of his children’s mouths since listening to the podcasts is stealing. Anyway great entertainment and very informative on the news of the day. Enjoy!!!

Best radio talk show ever.
Honest political talk balanced with witty humor. The more you listen the more you’ll love these guys.

You can actually hear Joe’s voice getting fatter around the holidays.

Since listening to Armband and Goofball my acne has returned, women won’t date me, and I am pretty sure Jack stole my kitten. Truly find something better to do with you morning such as French kissing the homeless or drinking wine out of a paper bag or both. KFTC.

These guys are my mental antidote to living and working in San Francisco — there are other people out there, normal people, who don’t think the government is the solution for everything. Joe said it perfectly today: the battle of our time isn’t between the Rs and Ds, but between the government class and everyone else.
I have listened to these guys every working day as part of my commute (and podcast during lunch — sorry guys) since 2003.
Did I mention they’re hilarious too?! There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t laugh out loud. And I love their use of sound crazy clips.
These guys are a breathe of ideological fresh air that, unlike Fox and MSNBC, will smack down Republican and Democrats alike. They’re brutal on the Republican leadership — and appropriately so.
They are as good as radio gets, and the larger their audience gets, the more their voice will be a beacon of reason amongst the din of depressing news and commentary.

I have been listening to these guys since Day 1, that would make me a FAG… friend of the Armstrong & Getty show .
I have been so loyal that I use their advertisers because I trust them. I met them in real life and they are real. Fun, entertaining, informative and bam, you got a great show.
Thank you for entertaining me and informing me

This morning, A&G read off some of the funny negative reviews on this page, because they previously didn’t realize they had a Unilocal page! Neither did I, so what a good reason to come on and review them!
I had been a casual listener for a couple years on and off, but usually listened to a crappy FM morning show out of habit. A couple years ago my regular show went on summer vacation, I switched my bathroom radio over to AM 650, and never looked back! The mix of hard-​hitting news, current events, and interviews with experts, mixed with a little dash of silliness (but not over-​the-​top morning zoo crap) is fun, educating, and entertaining. They truly are «fair and balanced,» while they lean right (more libertarian than republican), they have no problem calling out ANY person/​politician/​organization that is corrupt or immoral.
It’s refreshing to hear a down-​to-​earth perspective, with a little bit of humor and humility. I also put their podcasts on in the evenings when I drive home to catch up on things I missed. I remain grateful that my crappy old show went on an extended break, or I’d still be listening to that slow-​moving, arrogant, and mind-​numbing drivel instead of the A&G show!
