Fox is too far right. Alphabet networks are too far left. What i love about Armstrong and Getty is that they take in news from many sources and try to find the truth. They lean right no doubt; however, they are not afraid to call out the right when they believe the rights stance is out of bounds. All positions are intelligently backed up and done so with humor. Very informative, humorous, and entertaining. read more

"Everything like that and the rest of it." ~ Jack and then Joe Micheal is a treasure. Marshall "back and forth" Philips' gambling addiction is a weekly cliffhanger. Sean's strength lies in the ever elusive brevity. Vince should've never left. ...and lastly, don't we all miss Scott? Hey what? read more

Armstrong and Getty - Radio Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Entertaining show with some humor rather you agree with their point of views or not. I cant help but notice that the anti Trump reviewers have given this show a bad review calling them uneducated or fake news because they simply dont agree with their views. Got news for all you anti-Trumpers out their who disagree with them, all of your views can be labeled as uneducated or fake news as well depending on what side of the political spectrum you fall on. Bottom line if you are a progressive left anti trump person, stay away from the show. If however you are a right wing pro Trumper, you still might be somewhat disappointed at times as they are not always in favor of Trump despite what some of the reviewers have claimed on this site. read more

Relevant, insightful perspectives on current events, conveyed with even handed irreverence, interspersed with laugh out loud humor. Jack Armstrong and Joe Ghetty are never dull, repetitive or obsessive, they reinvent themselves to remain intriguing. They also humbly share personal stories from their own lives which are relatable and charming, even revealing bits of their private lives that most entertainers would be afraid to divulge. Ironically, Jack Armstrong's very painful and recent divorce, pertinent parts of which have been tastefully shared, has elevated Jack's cutting wit to a new level. I highly recommend the podcast for anyone that cannot listen to the live show. I do both so I don't miss any part of their grueling 4-hour workday. read more

As a child I poked fun at my father for watching an Am radio show on the television. Now I listen daily, Go figure.

These guys have the best funniest show on the radio. I have been listening since the week they started. Way before the article about the best show you are not listening to. Love everybody on the show, you all contribute to my favorite show I do listen on podcasts but am ready to subscribe once you smarten up about that I love you guys cause you make me feel smart and informed. Keep up the great work Rocket and OS Jack read more

"Ear Worm Central" Most, best, non-stop, repeat, repeated ear worms ever broadcast. Tune in at work and be hated, or fired. No need to search out the most annoying audio anywhere, Jack & Joe will already have it, and will play it repeatedly. read more

The coffee was cold, the waiter too chatty, and I was pretty sure that someone had eaten some of my food. What's not to like? :) read more

I have been a fan since they first entered the Sacramento market. Besides bringing you current affairs, you soon become part of their family. I like the fact that they do not drive their politics on a party but the person making our lives miserable... also love that they share parts of their personal stories as this helps to get to know them as people not just radio personalities. read more

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. read more

MY FAVORITE TALK SHOW (next to Dave Ramsey, hehe). I love Armstrong & Getty. Used to listen to them on my 10-15 minute drive to work in Sac. Then I moved and the 45-minute Bay Area commute was AWFUL but what made it all better was listening to A&G on the way. There's something about starting my day with them that makes me feel happy. Maybe it's the peppy "Studio C....SI SENOR!!!" or the sound bites from late night TV, the funny interviews, or just how everything flows so perfectly together. We just recently moved again and now I'm listening to the 4-hour podcasts while cleaning the house! :) There's something about listening to someone for so many years that makes them seem like family. I feel like I actually know these guys (even though they've never even met me). I've learned so much from them, laughed with them, and even cried with them. When Jack was going through his C treatments and sounded so different on the air, I was really worried! Glad he's all better now, to the point where he can put together trampolines and ride on skateboards! I love so much about A&G, not limited to: * How Marshall Phillips clues me in on the latest happenings in the world that I wouldn't know about, since "I don't watch the news...." I actually learned about Brexit from A&G first. Thought it was a term they made up hehe. If I hadn't listened, I'd be clueless about what Brexit was! * Hearing clips from late night TV (Fallon, Meyers, Conan, SNL) and LOLing in the car. * Discovering new video clips etc thru A&G. Remember "Baby Monkey" or "Word Crimes"? Never would have known about them without listening to A&G. I've actually looked up Butter Beef and Pake recipes too. They talk about EVERYTHING---Taylor Swift, Giants, Warriors, movies, TV shows, religion/faith, strange things that happen to them while traveling, recipes, parenting, weird hoarder neighbors, their families, their dates, politics, current events, strange trends in society, and so much more. I can't believe how much a talk show fits my personality so well. :) Love love love them! I listen to them online (podcasts) or on AM 650 or AM 910 (depending on where I am). 6am-10am daily. I need to find more friends who listen to them too, so I can whip out my lines and they won't look at me like I'm crazy. My husband looks at me weird when I say "Alex Baldwick" or "CHINA!" or "Apparentlyyyyyy...." and crack up laughing. The only thing I don't like is occasionally I'll be driving and a sound clip or buzzer will be VERY LOUD through my speakers and cause a slight heart attack while I quickly turn the speaker volume down. And occasionally Vince's comments will rub me the wrong way too. Like when he went off on Chewbacca Mom. What's up with that?! Did you know that the Mr. Pickles nearby has an Armstrong & Getty sandwich? Not sure if that's a regular at all Mr. Pickles or just this location. Guess they have a lot of fans in this area as well. :) Keep up the great work, A&G team! read more

This morning, A&G read off some of the funny negative reviews on this page, because they previously didn't realize they had a Yelp 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! read more

It's a great show, I have met these guys and they seem like real people. I find the show very entertaining even though I don't always agree with them. It makes my morning! read more

I used to listen every day but when KGO gave them the well deserved boot I realized how tired I was of reaching for the mute button when they started shoving their politics down our throats. I dont even care so much what their leaning is, I just dont need to hear about it and I dont miss them at all. The sad part is, they really could do a great show if they didnt think everyone was just fascinated by their opinion on everything. read more

These fellas chat in a naturally conveyable manor, and they chat about relevant, current, and meaningful topics in a light-hearted spirit without ignoring sincerity when necessary. read more

This is fun, witty, entertaining information on current events without bias. This is a great way to get insight on today's news stories. I really dislike the wing nut talking heads spewing hate on the far wings of the spectrum. No more CNN or FOX news for me. read more

I sometimes used to listen to this show because they sounded like somewhat reasonable and intelligent Republicans and I got tired of listening to my own echo chamber...but seeing them respond in shock after the trump ukraine call but then quickly rallying behind the rest of the trump cult in lock step was too much to bear and I realized they were no different than the rest of them. read more

Great informative and informative entertainment. In left-wing Bay Area, a refreshing program to listen to! read more

I don't like hearing that Vince was laid off. Did Jack and Joe go to bat for him? They are very successful and could have their way I imagine. Maybe I am being foolish. They are in it for themselves. I'm in it for myself. Screw them! read more

I'm so done with other news sources. I hate the bias from both ends of the spectrum. I appreciate Jack and Joe's independent thoughts about current events; it challenges my own opinions. Michael is incredibly talented and sharp with his musical segue choices...at least one a day makes me laugh. Sean is very private about his cat, he should share more. What happened to Trump Free Tuesdays? read more

Great stuff keep it up guys long time listener first time yelp reviewer. Don't agree with them 100% of the time, but they are usually well thought out and have great insights on everything read more

I enjoy listening to the Armstrong and Getti radio show every weekday morning! Their take on current news events gives me a different perspective. They have a great repor with each other and can be funny. Instead of feeling depressed over negative news they make me laugh. After listening I feel happy! Thank you! read more

This show is much better rounded than most conservative talk shows that focus only on national news. There is some national and world news but it isn't the primary focus. This is more localized with a western regional view. Most stories include Northern California, Oregon, Washington. Some national news. Really appreciate the variety. read more

I have been listening to A&G for at least 21 years. They give a common sense response to the world around us, and are not at all pretentious! I actually don't mind my commute thanks to them! read more

Been listening for years. They are informative and funny. Libertarians. Their sidekicks have real talent as well. Their board operator's (Michael) timing is really impressive. read more

These guys are borderline mentally handicapped. On the one hand, I hate to criticise them too much, because they're local guys and they seem to mean well, plus they're conservative but they don't just make crap up the way most conservative talk show hosts do. That said, they're still basically idiots. Their show consists of: reading news stories, misunderstanding them, then bitching about how they indicate that the country is going to hell. Listening to them is like spending the day with your out of touch but extremely politically opinionated old uncle. They're sort of funny and harmless, but also dumb, and it does get a bit old. read more

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. read more

Listening to these guys since the days of Jamie Coffee doing the news and when they took phone calls. Being retired, I can listen every day now. What I don't get while driving, I pick up with the Podcast. Why? Two bright and articulate guys with slightly different views on the world. They do great interviews with other bright and articulate subject matter experts. This is all mixed with comedy. Sometimes the discussions are so lame I turn it off - but I usually find the discussions authentic and engaging. There is a sense of family. I can connect with the various background people. Vince: I don't quite get Vince. He's at his best when he doesn't speak. Since he gets up at Midnight to pull everything together in the form of clips and whatever else it is he does, I think he's more cerebral in a calculated way that Joe or Jack. When he is relaxed and does not force a comment, he is at his best. Positive Sean is always on target for his wry comments with perfect deadpan. I would be at a loss without his input. Marshall is a professional who has fallen into a nest of wags. The juxtaposition Marshall with the rest of the crew only makes the production more interesting. I'm also a big fan of his personal life, bringing home a bottle of wine for dinner and going through his rolodex of old flames in search of a valentine's date. Jack as a small hobby farmer (I have goats and chickens) with a big city job is also amusing as he talks of banding his bucks and shooting his roosters... activities I can relate to from experience. Jack's voice is about what you'd expect from someone who bands his bucks - intense and high pitched. Joe has that baseball announcer's voice that is easy to listen to and makes everything sound like "four outside balls". I recommend you listen via internet to either the Sacramento (KFBK) or San Diego (KFMB) stations. The San Francisco station plays advertisements for the other radio shows which I find so trite and with lack of substance as to embarrass me to listen - even when I am alone. (An insult to my intelligence and sense of humor). They also have a podcast on iHeart Radio to listen to old broadcasts or catch what you missed the previous day. read more

Listening to the A&G show is like watching baseball. It takes intelligence to enjoy and appreciate the art. Now since we all cannot be at the top of the intellect chart, some people would rather learn to prefect their ability to color within the lines in a coloring book. If you think that they are one sided... you clearly only listened for a cup of coffee. It takes a minute to get the humor and understand when a joke is put out and that comes back to the intellect aspect of understanding fine art. BTW, I added the baseball analogy for one Joe Getty due to his addiction of the fine sport. read more

Simply the most entertaining, and informative shows on in the morning. Not too serious and they always mix it up just right. Faithfully listen each day. To the paste eating, mouth breathing, window licking, short bus riding, soft head talking about AIR AMERICA.....looks like you and the other 3 listeners of that station could support them. Armstrong and Getty Make My Morning Worth Getting Up! read more

I can't bear to go a morning without listening to these guys! This the THE ONLY morning radio talk show. KFTC read more

I've been listening since 1998 when you guys were brand new, complained you had no advertising and could barely get a guest on. Look at you guys now! I podcast all four hours everyday. Yes, I'm stealing Cheerios right out of Jack's kids mouths!I enjoyed your TV show and was sorry it ended. You make me laugh out loud. I like when references from a long time ago are mentioned. These people who left negative reviews don't understand your humor and sense of satire. One huge complaint.....when you go on vacation. You are missed...so, no more vacations for you. read more

FUNNY!! Informative & entertaining with a pace that keeps you listening. Jack & Joe have a way of looking at everything from politics to celebs that's so refreshingly intelligent and down-to-earth. Never condescending to the listener(although often to the callers:) Local knowledge mostly of Sac., but sometimes of the Bay & Davis. Commercial-free podcasts make for great downtime. AM 650 6-10 am. M-F read more

Armstrong and Getty are long time disc jockeys. Here a a run down of the staff and show. Joe Getty: Joe is one of the main hosts of the show. He is a self professed neanderthal and looks like Fred Flintstone on a 4 day bender. He grabs the wheel and leads most of the topics and interviews for the most part. He loves garlic bread but it goes straight to his hips. He pretends hes in a band and plays bad golf. Jack Armstrong: Jack is the other host and is a clumsy bald man who regularly trips over every day objects. He is referred to as "Simple Jack" for good reason. He has raced cheerleaders in combat boots and completes poorly executed somersaults on his trampoline and immediately declares victory. He once received a death treat and is still trying to "Get over it. Marshall Philips: Marshall is a world war 2 era news reporter who comes into the studio every hour to discuss current headlines. Topics frequently contain coffee and fecal matter studies. Interesting facts about Marshall include the fact that he has worn the same tan jacket for the last 6-10 years. He has an affinity for bacon and marinated lottery scratchers. In the past, Marshall has mentioned hob knobing with 70s rock stars but refuses to give many details, even on A&Gs uncensored after show podcast. This is a clear dereliction of his duties. Positive Shawn: Shawn is a pipe cleaner armed self professed comedian. He produces the show and sometimes struggles with labeling podcasts correctly. Dates and times are hard for him to grasp. Shawn has a superficial knowledge of video games and sometimes misleads A&G on the topic. Ever heard of the Oculus Quest Shawn? No? didn't think so..... Michael Angelo: Michael is the technical guru and the Fred Norris of the show, He regularly drops in funny clips into the show. His timing is really good and does not add unnecessary chatter to the fray, although he struggles with changing the bumper music coming back from commercial unless a musician has died or has a birthday. So for the most part the bumper music is fing ponderous. Handson Pantson Hanson: He is a mute The Show: 4 hours of mostly right/left leaning commentary on the days events. Both Jack and Joe take turns throwing out edgy lines and pretend to be offended by each other. Its quite entertaining even after 20 years. The bottom line if they are useful idiots and given time will be a part of your day. read more

Love it. I listen everyday and DL all the podcasts. I don't always agree, and sometimes they are boring, but they have some really funny moments and I consider a good news source. To all those idiots who give them one star, you all suck and have never even listened. My only gripe is they sold out to Sleep Train and Comcast, both companies that are overpriced. But, hey, they have to make money, so I can't really blame them. Stupid Should Hurt. Truer words were never spoken. read more

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. read more

I love to listen to them on my way to work. They are funny and down to earth, and seem like they would be nice guys to hang out with. I don't like shock jocks and I don't like uber-conservatives like Michael Savage (although I listen to his show sometimes just to argue with him). Armstrong and Getty are pretty middle of the road politically, and I often find myself nodding my head, or adding an "amen" to their comments. read more

These guys take about the same things everyday. I tune in every now and then, and before I do, I can pretty much guess what they're going to be talking about. I'm usually right. It's all complaining about California, liberals, democrats, politicians, Hollywood, etc etc. Throw a joke or 2 and back to negativity. Only thing I do like is when Jack tells stories about his son's. read more

Armstrong and Getty have a common sense practical point of view, as opposed to all too many here in the Land Of Fruits And Nuts. If you actually work for a living, and you are tired of being shat upon by sneering trust fund trotskyites and coffee house communists who don't, this is the radio show for you. A & G are right of center, but they are nowhere near as right-wing or as strident as, say, Michael Savage. They are also not monolithic. Politically, Jack Armstrong tends more toward Libertarian views, while Joe Getty is more traditional, and sometimes they disagree with each other on the air on these matters. They are on two stations now, KSTE 650 AM in Sacramento and KNEW 910 AM in the San Francisco Bay, and I wish them successful expansion in the region. As their coverage territory has grown, they have predictably become less local and more regional, which makes sense. I do hope that they keep some of their regular callers. "Basel", a refugee from Saddam Hussein's Iraq now living in the Sacramento area, was always interesting for his perspectives on the Middle East. read more

Pretty liberal guys. I really think that just depends on what they think will suit their audience. Joe is extremely pretentious, nothing he loves talking more about then himself. Sean is funny, Michaelangelo is hilarious, marshall not there anymore which sucks. Call themselves libertarians but I'm not really sure they stand for anything. I wouldn't recommend listening, these guys I think are burned out and need to retire. They can be funny at times but most humor is from Sean or Michaelangelo. I started listening to them 6 years ago, just can't stand how these two idiots change their view as the wind blows. read more
