From the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, the

Armstrong and Joe Getty. The Armstrong and Getty show. Before we get to Star Trek, which is what I called it until I was like 20 years old.

Star Trek. You remember I developed a standard as a young man that I would just reject the

companionship, the friendship or any notion of respect of anybody who said Star Trek or pronounced chess. Now the second one was as a kid.

But yes, Star Trek is it's one striking your out scenario.

I wanted to get this on. Came across this the other day from some history page on Facebook.

Missfit history. Listen to this married couples in medieval Germany married couples could legally settle their disputes by fighting a martial

duel. To even the field, the man had to fight from inside a hole with one arm tied behind his back. The woman was free to move and was armed with a sack filled with rocks.

How big of a hole am I in here? Yeah, how deep. In the handicapped. In the high waist. In the picture, he's up to his butt is waste.

Okay. With one arm tied behind his back and she's got a sack of rocks. Well, it was he armed with just his fist. I guess. Yeah.

You got it. You got a hooker ankle right Sean. Yeah, that leg out from under what do you call that? The MMA. It's a heel hooker. No, he'll look as like a submission thing. That's just more of just kind of a trip.

Your traditional. Yeah, or being in a lot of pillow fights recently with my son with with the guy's some of those temper pete pillows will make it dizzy. Yeah.

You got a doc. They swing. It goes by. Then you grab it when they don't have any momentum. So you have to do that with her with the sack of rocks. It misses you. You grab it.

Take advantage of win the momentum or with the the balances off. Yeah. Yeah. And then then what you punch your wife in the head. And then she says, you're right, honey. You win.

And then happily ever after what's the reverse she beats you down with the sack of rocks. And you say you're right, honey. And happily ever after we'll put drapes up.

What?

Twenty what ancient to Germany was no place for a week. Okay, we'll go to your sisters.

He's got to be in the head with the sack of rocks. Quit hitting me in the head with the sack of rocks. We can go to your parents. We'll keep the throw pillows. I don't care that they're only decorative. It's fine. It's fine. Yes.

Anywho back to this honored day. It is William Shatner's birthday. He is 90 years old. He was the star of Star Trek for three seasons in the 60s. But that's right. Just three.

That's wow. Show lives on like no other show. Is there anything else that had such a little initial fanfare, but has lived so long. I don't know. Maybe Batman. Maybe original Batman. I think, yeah, I think Batman was way more successful at the time. Anyway, William Shatner went on to become, you know, kind of a cult.

He was a kitschy pop figure and then he was on Boston law. Boston legal. And he won amies on that, right? So I enjoyed that shot. That was a good writing on it. It was him and James Spader, I think, or the two main, main people.

He was on TJ Hooker too. That's right. TJ. And then a whole bunch of Star Trek remakes movies, whatnot. Which were quite good. Yeah, most of them.
