Sat Apr 24 2010They are rude to callers (especially veterans) and vulgar at times. I emailed them with comments for years with no reply from them. They need to stick to their mediocre comedic talent and stay out of politics. They act more like giggly little girls than real men, laughing at their own lame jokes. If you are reading this A&G, why don't ypu get a real job. Take a hike A&G---just GO AWAY!!!

Sun Sep 13 2009I love this show. I wake up to it every morning and it's like having wonderful,entertaining friends over. I love hearing the personal elements: marriage, children, friends and families, holidays, vacations, playing thrir music, coaching kids' teams. I just don't know how they find the time and energy for so many activities, in addition to reading and watching and understanding the news of the world every single day! My one complaint: I never received the "Best of..." CD that I ordered last year.

Thu Aug 27 2009We've been listening to A&G; for over 7 year's now. They make our morning with their banter and sound effects. We also love KSTE, Rancho Cordova, Sacramento and some of the other progams such as Mike McConnell on The Weekend. I was on the radio for 30 years in Redding and recognize Bob Williams, who does news and traffic on KFBK and KSTE as a guy I used to work with. A radio fan forever, BuddHodges

Thu Apr 16 2009Armstrong & Getty's main strength is that unique element in their show and chemistry that appeals to people of all generations. This includes people younger than them, people older than them, and people about their same age group. If you're ever in a slump thinking you can't get ahead, A&G is a very realistic prescription to overcoming depression and actually making something of your life -- without depending on the government! (And I love their bumpers which they post daily.)

Thu Oct 30 2008You people with the one star ratings have no sense of humor (especially those who claim to have a great sense of humor) - they are funny and entertaining!

Fri Jul 25 2008I have given these guys countless opportunities to make me laugh..and not once. I'm a conservative and certainly agree with and appreciate most of their points of view..But informative? Not that I can recall. Entertaining? Not for me.. Low brow "comedy" for the most part...Gratuitous sex talk (often)..They laugh at their own completely unfunny juvenile "jokes" and I think it's Getty that has this high pitched, irritating voice that goes up an octave w/out any warning..I have a great sense of humor, but I'm always wondering who's laughing at this stuff...I always give them SOME time during my commute, but I can't take it...For me, it's terrible radio. That's me.

Sat Mar 22 2008Accidentally stumbled upon this show one morning a few fateful years ago and have been hooked ever since! I'm a UPS driver, so I download their podcasts everyday before work in my ongoing effort to stay entormed...I'm sure I look like a lunatic driving along laughing to myself! I LOVE THESE GUYS!!! Their brand of intelligent, smart-ass humor is right up my alley!
by neeka82
Mon Feb 04 2008Keeps me laughing all the way from Walnut Creek to Palo Alto every morning...and on the podcast all the way home. Plus, my mom likes them too!
by mrkitty
Thu Jan 17 2008Very funny, nice balance between NPR, the far right AM talk show guys and the crazy morning DJ's. Like a male version of the View but without the bickering.

Sun Nov 18 2007They are hatemongers and seem totally oblivious of their own racism and nativism. They're a blight on the Radio Landscape. Do the country a favor and don't listen to them.

Sat Nov 10 2007Jack and Joe express my views on just about every topic. Love them and listen to them every day!

Wed Aug 15 2007I've listened to the guys since they were on the music station Mix96. I love them - moved to Texas for 7 months in 2005 and listened online every morning! They are the best!!!!

Sun May 06 2007What happened to the Armstrong and Getty show that was on Channel 58?? Does anyone know?? I loved this show, unfortunately I could not watch it every day and one day I turn it on and they are gone.

Thu Apr 26 2007The day I stumbled upon your show, was the day I became a "Morning Person", for the first time in life. Before your show, I can't think of a news or entertainment program that my 70+ year old parents, my 20 & 26 year old children and myself, enjoyed EQUALLY. Your views on politics, and the many, many topics discussed on your show, have generated for our family so many discussions regarding subjects, that I doubt we would have ever shared, if not for the two of you, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Thank you! It's UNBELIEVABLE, that Channel 58, Sacramento, CA, took your program off the air and replaced it with the same tired format, of repetitive, uninteresting local news, that is cloned on every single channel in the same time slots, Monday - Friday, for hours on end. I truly miss seeing Jack throwing his head back in laughter and seeing the expressions on Joe's face when he's on a roll. The two of you, make one, fantastic team!

Fri Apr 13 2007I also love the show . I used to watch every morning before channel 4 took you off and replaced it with more garbage. I guess i'll have to turn on the radio.I just dont get it, they take you guys off and leave Rosie and Sanjia. I'm so confused !!Lol . You guys are great and im going to really miss watching you two.

Thu Apr 12 2007Love the show. I listen/watch the show every morning. I appreciate the moderate and practical approach the have to issues today. It is refreshing to have a team that is not extremest and probably is speaking the way most of America feels (not necessarily California, but believe it or not there is a vast country out there that lands pretty much in the middle of the road!). Thanks guys for being there to start our day, with thoughful insite and a smile!
by wordupurple
Tue Apr 10 2007the WB channel 4 cut the Armstrong and getty show and replaced it with lame local news with tool bag anchors. They make me sick with their cutesy pie stories and near whimsical anticdotes.WHY WHY WHY. A&G; enhanced my knowledge of gov. issues and important subjects. Now it's replaced with overpriced flea powder for large dogs and how to clean my junk drawer. WHY WHY WHY lINDA

Tue Apr 03 2007Why can't the radio station have a "fill-in" when you guys are gone? Is it money? No one wants to listen to OLD broadcasts! My rating would be a 5 if you didn't have this Best of.... yuck

Tue Feb 20 2007I love these Guys, if they lean its to the Common Sense Side.

Thu Feb 01 2007Excellent morning program! News, opinion and debate. Wonderful, smart and witty.
by ratepate
Thu Feb 01 2007Keep them on TV and the radio. The only Clear Channel program still worth heaqring (and seeing).
by maxmednick
Fri Jan 26 2007World Class Entormation! I download their PodCasts and listen to the entire 4 hours every day. Better than John & Ken on KFI 640 (Los Angeles)!!

Mon Jan 22 2007These guys are the best ... quick wit, smart, interesting and interested ! At the risk of sounding like a dork, I must admit that I am completely smitten with Jack Armstrong ....

Tue Nov 14 2006They rpeat lies from arab palestinian with no hesitant. For the muslims it is a deed to kill the cristian & a Jew, let alone lie to you.
by hdez13
Tue Nov 14 2006Great!!! They make my day. I just wish they were on until the Savage show. About time talk radio gives the audience what they deserve, a dose of Jack and Joe. Viva Jack and Joe.

Tue Nov 14 2006Jack, Thanks so much for encouraging hatred of Jews! Anti-semitism is already an issue in this country, not to mention worldwide. Your comments about moving the Jews to North Dakota was so ignorant. Obviously you don't know the history of the Middle East. The Jews lived on that land & were the first palestinians: living on a land rich with biblical Judea/Christian history. The nation of Palestinians" was created after 1948 and Yasser Arafat (an Egyptian) was selected by Arab nations as their militant leader in an effort to declare it as Arab land and eradicate the Jews, as they were from the 22 other Arab countries surrounding them. By the way, regarding your "Palestinian" neighbor. The Jews never kicked the muslims out of Israel, or Palestine. Trans-Jordan was created by the Arab nations and THEY told the muslims living in Israel to go there temporarily to wait until the Jews were all massacred, whereupon they could return. If you look at history, you will see that the Jews alwa... Read more

Mon Nov 06 2006These two men rock the radio. They are a little to the right but they tend to express both sides of our political arena. They are Entertainment, not Media. I love them and I'm a complete liberal. I want them to continue thier show.... I love them.

Sat Nov 04 2006I live in Berkeley, and got very very sick of progressive pablum after a few years. Shortly before 9/11 I discovered Armstrong & Getty on AM 650 out of Sacramento, and it was like having a lifeline to life in America. For a week after 9/11 I carried my radio around the house trying to get the show to come in clear enough to understand, I am delighted to have them on KNEW 910 now, and it restores my faith that there are at least a few other expatriate Americans living in the People's Republic of Berkeley.

Thu Aug 24 2006It is a great show, they are insightful, intelligent, and try to be objective on their views...
by lowfreakwency
Fri Jul 28 2006Fantastic balance of news and humor. Two guys that you can respect and laugh along with. I look forward to each and every broadcast.
by mom2mnm
Sat Jun 10 2006LOVE LOVE LOVE A&G;!!! They have me laughing all morning. And nothing beats when Joe loses it and starts screaming. All you libs need to lighten up or stop listening. Their ratings speak for themselves.
by firewerx
Wed Jun 07 2006Fantastically entertaining and informative. As a young adult, I've found no better way to immerse myself in the world outside my everyday life, and begin looking at the world I live in. Jack and Joe are two guys that are incredible easy to identify with. Jack is frequently late to work, and almost always clames it's his fault. Joe wants everyone to have digital tracking chips implanted in them. How can you not appreciate these guys.
by keebeach
Tue May 23 2006Hmmm, the best thing about moving to Sacramento from the Bay Area is: a) fresh strawberries in the summer; b) the wonderful, intelligent, family-oriented people; or c) the Armstrong & Getty show. It's a tough call. I love the show! (I suppose if "ur" someone who lives in the pocket and "u" are so sublimely intellectual that you find smart, well-reasoned political discourse to be confusing and scary, "u" might want to listen to another station. But I would recommend tuning in to the show -- "u" might learn something "u"seful.)

Thu May 11 2006I am constantly amazed at the wit and sophistication of these two guys. While Joe is the more cosmopolitan, Jack is the down-to-earth. Their sense of humor is catching. Joe, the devout family man and Jack the party guy ( it seems his marriage is past history, even though the subject never comes up. Its just as well since its nobodys business). I get up every morning at 5:00 am just to listen to their previous days 9:00-10:00 am show. Their ability to cut the Gordian knot and make that days subject matter transparent from dunces to college professors is amazing. They deserve the number 1 rating in their market. Driftyjf

Wed Apr 12 2006Before they began their show on KSTE -way back when - KSTE had promos talking about 2 new guys in the morning. I thought "Oh, great, another stupid, sophomoric show with two phony guys pretending they are so wild and crazy - and actually not being funny at all." When I first heard the show I couldn't believe it. These guys are so funny and natural and nothing like anyone else on the radio. They are very entertaining and fair minded and - did I mention funny. Just my sense of humor. I am so glad others have discovered them and they are now #1 in the area. I would miss them so much if they were to leave. I try not to miss a show. Love them - you will too! Give them a week to grow on you.
by aslan77
Wed Jan 25 2006This is a great mix of humor and challenging discussion. For the most part, they show respect and I applaud them for their restraint when they get the nutcase caller that defines a conversation as a verbal discourse in which the one who is catching his/her breath is called the listener. I try to listen to them every morning.

Tue Dec 27 2005u guys make me laugh. Armstrong and Getty 5 stars??!! I guess if ur an ignorant high school or community college dropout who can't identify Canada on a map u'd like this show. Or if you think supporting our troops is a yellow bumper sticker next to a fish, enjoy thoughtful discussions with rednecks in trailer parks, and believe God talks to Bush, this show's for you! Otherwise, you might consider listening to talk city 1240, if you listen to armstrong and getty though you probably won't be able to catch up.

Thu Dec 15 2005Infotainment! Jack and Joe are informative, entertaining, funny, and respectable. I love their sense of humor, and if you don't get it, then don't listen, because you will never understand what they are about. I believe that they are both middle of the road with Joe leaning somewhat right and Jack leaning somewhat left. Of course, there are times when Joe leans left and Jack leans right. They remind me of me! I imagine that many of their listeners feel the same way. (I'm a middle child...maybe that has something to do with it...maybe Jack and Joe should take a poll of how many of their listeners are "the middle child.") Love the show, love Jack and Joe.

Tue Dec 13 2005This show is by far the best! I just moved here from Cleveland and I was looking for a radio station that would tell it like it is! And I found it while dial surfing...they talk about current events and have the best sense of humor out of any radio show out there! I look forward to listening to them every morning! Keep it up guys!!! :)

Sun Nov 20 2005I have listened to them since day one in 1998. I love them. I rarely miss a show. They brighten up my mornings and make me laugh.

Mon Nov 14 2005Great! Balanced, smart, fair, and of course funny as hell!
by dlwrightsman
Mon Nov 14 2005A & G attempt to convince they are a credible and impartial source of news and opinion. However, if you differ with them, especially Joe Getty, he becomes insensed. This indicates a couple of things..., First, Joe Getty is unable to take constructive critizism, and secondly, after everything is said and done, they come across not as champions of the cause....but just plain ole entertainers.
by cindyand
Sat Oct 29 2005This is the best radio show out there by far! They take a common sense approach to news items and make politics fun to listen to. I have never before had a "can't miss" radio show, but for the past seven years they've been it.
