| 0:00.0 | It's Michelangelo. Happy Friday, everyone. But those are fighting words. It's time for one more thing. |
| 0:07.6 | Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. |
| 0:17.6 | All right. Been searching the A&G archives, and I found something really great. |
| 0:23.5 | Our own Jack Armstrong was involved in a bar fight. |
| 0:26.0 | I don't know if you remember this. |
| 0:27.6 | The year was 2004. |
| 0:33.4 | And so Jack Armstrong, our young Jack Armstrong, not even 40 years old, just a pup. |
| 0:40.8 | And he tells the story about how he jumped in and tried to save the day. |
| 0:44.6 | When he tried to stop a bar fight, usually he doesn't get involved. |
| 0:49.2 | But on this night, he did. |

| 1:30.5 | You know, I don't want to give it a bad reputation because this is good. Fair enough. |
| 1:33.1 | I would not stop by a bar where there is any likelihood of a bar fight late at night. |
| 1:38.9 | I don't need that in my life. I'm almost 40 years old. I'm a man of means. I never wanted that sort of thing, even when I was |
| 1:45.0 | younger. Yeah. And you've got arms like linguine, so you don't even fight any in. No, exactly. |
| 1:50.4 | I kid. He's a huge man. And I have seen many bar fights in my life, because I've spent a lot of time in bars, |
| 1:58.2 | and I worked at a big country nightclub for nearly five years, and there'd be several fights in night. And I've had the longstanding |
