Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Muskin Stone, KFI AM six forty March ninth, The Handle
in the Morning crew.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Before we jump about getting stoned, quick reminder that Friday
mornings at a thirty we engage in ask Handle anything
created to embarrass me. And what you do is during
the show, you go to the iHeartRadio app it'll be
streaming us and just click on the microphone in the
upper right hand corner and you can record a question.
(00:41):
You'll have ten or fifteen seconds, and then Neil chooses
the questions. Hi, yeah, and then I answer them, and
Neil is desperate to find the questions that most embarrassed me.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Last week was particularly brutal.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh yeah, last so hard. Yeah, last week was brutal. Yeah,
Neil out did himself last week.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I don't want to give you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Tell you a story about the first time I ever
smoked pot. And I was in high school at the time,
and I was at my friend's house and out came
the joints. His parents were missing, were gone, they went someplace,
and so I spent the weekend there as I usually did,
and now comes the joint and I started smoking the pot,
(01:22):
and all of a sudden I got hungry, really, boy,
that never happens. So there were some English muffins on
the counter, and I put in an English muffin in
the toaster and I burnt it really badly, and so
I was so hungry I went ahead and put butter
(01:43):
on it and ate ate burnt English muffin.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It tasted so good.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That I burnt the next four English muffins that I
put in the toaster a lot of food. And so
the next week when I went back again, do you
know what, I discovered?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
English muffins that.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Aren't burnt are even better tasting than ones that are burnt. Boy,
what a revelation that is. So all through high school
I was pretty stoned. I don't know if I've shared
this story. I was in marching band in high school
and I played the baritone horn, and this is a
(02:29):
true story. I was so bad, particularly stoned, because the
entire band was stoned. We all smoked pot on Friday
nights before the game. As we were changing getting into
our uniforms that the bandmaster the teacher asked me not
to play, just march around and be a body there
(02:53):
because they needed people, and so we were marching around.
Now keep in mind, what do you think a group
of what seventy people in a marching band look like?
All of them stoned? Just moving around. Nothing made sense,
and it was good times had by all. And then
(03:14):
my dad caught me smoking the pot in the garage
one day, and for him in those days, it was
a gateway drug. Right, You smoke pot and the next
thing you know in his life is you pick up
a syringe full of heroin and you inject it directly
into your eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
He was that upset about it.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And so that was pot in my early life, right
when I was a teenager and into my twenties, early twenties,
and then nothing until I was twenty eight. Then it
was cocaine. I got zipped on cocaine where I took
the bar on cocaine.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I needed it, So it wasn't gateway.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well yeah, six years later or eight years later, yeah, okay, congratulations,
there's your gateway. And so going back to those days,
and now I'm dating myself and people close to my age,
maybe you're fifty sixty years old or older. If you remember,
pot was pretty weak. It took a lot of pot
(04:17):
to get you stoned, and the stone was not really stoned.
And I remember we used to buy lids of pot,
that's what they called them, lids, and it was the
bottom of a baggie and it was an ounce of pot.
And I'll never forget it costs ten dollars ten dollars
for an ounce of pot, and you didn't get very
(04:38):
high relative to today today you get so stoned on
like two puffs. Moving over to a high school, Riverside
County is called Liberty High not our Riverside County.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
This is in Wisconsin, and.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
They're at the front lines of a battle to keep
weed out of American high school. So I just talked
about how my history of smoking dope as we used
to call it in high school. We smoked a lot
of it, particularly in marching band, where I didn't play
the baritone horn because I was so bad they wouldn't
let me play it. But still marching around, And what's
(05:18):
going on with high school students, Well, too many are
getting stoned now. The legal age to buy recreational marijuana
is twenty one in California, eighteen for medical marijuana, and
we were the first state to allow medical marijuana and
so high school students shouldn't get it. But you know
how easy it is get pot older siblings, friends, even acquaintances,
(05:41):
And so legalization has completely shifted how cannabis is perceived.
It was a bunch of us getting stoned and we
had to do it secretly, couldn't do it in front
of the authorities. We were breaking the law. Well, obviously
that's change. Now it's mainstream health and wellness. Lindsay uses
(06:04):
pot every night for pain and sleep aid, and so
many people do. It's simply a given that pot is
an aid. So it's easy that that translates to high
school students. And the edibles, right, you get them from dispensaries,
and they're in cute flavors and cute packaging.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Strawberry cough is Kittles as z.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Kittles, and so marijuana looks like it's safe, it's stylish,
it's fun, it's organic, it's all natural. And some University
of Michigan survey studies, twenty six percent of twelfth graders
eight percent of eighth graders said they have used pot
in the last year. Wow, that's pretty impressive, isn't it,
(06:53):
Except for what pot does to young people. Because in reality,
having on from something that's illicid and kind of fun.
And boy, I remember how much weight I put on
when I started smoking pot. There ain't nothing like a good,
(07:14):
hearty meal stoned on your butt tastes so damn good.
And anybody who opens up a restaurant or a food
establishment next to a dispensary is a genius, a business
genius because you can't lose money. So what's going on
now is shifting back again to something that is not
(07:36):
particularly good for you, especially young people. There is a
growing body of scientific research and it reveals how dangerous
THC is, which is the component, main component, the psychoactive
component of marijuana, and it has to do with teenagers
(07:56):
and growing brains. Now you've heard that teenagers people in
their early twenties. The brain is not fully developed until
they're probably mid twenties, which is why we do crazy
ass stuff when we are younger than that.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I mean, we think we're invincible.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
The stuff I used to do, man life threatening stuff.
I going, this is nuts, And that's what teenagers do.
And that's because the brain isn't particularly functioning the way
it should.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, if you're.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
In high school or student is in high school and
is smoking a fair amount of cannabis. Now we're talking
a pretty serious deficit. And so these studies, and a
lot of them have found that regular use of pot
by teens is linked to poor performance, deficits, and attention
and memory. The cannabis that I explained in the previous segment,
(08:54):
now sold in states where it's legal, much stronger than
the marijuana that was used decades past, like when I
did it, and I just explained that. If you missed
the last segment, by the way, it's kind of fun
if you podcasted, because it's a I think, a fun
personal story about when I started smoking pot. And what's
(09:15):
the most common way teens use marijuana.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
They vape.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They vape, So schools like Liberty are ramping up detection
and deterrence.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
However, that ain't easy.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There are actually vape sensors in the bathrooms.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It's not smoke because there's no smoke.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So somehow the technology is vape sensors. And the big
technology is our cameras. I mean that is the end all,
be all cameras, face recognition software, and even in bathrooms
obviously not the stalls or next to the urinals, although
(09:57):
can you imagine a camera next to a urinal and
then on a screen measures one to ten?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
How impressive you are.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
This is why I'm not in education, by the way,
I have ideas that are spectacular. The reality is that
students will do almost anything to hide the pot because
it's illegal to do it. In high school you can't
do it. It's illegal to do it if you're under eighteen.
(10:29):
So the students at Liberty, well, where do they hide
the contraband in their underwear, their bras, places where they
know school staff can't look. Not quite prison places. Kids
obviously flesh the evidence down the toilet when the police
or certainly the administrators show up. And recently at Liberty
(10:53):
they fished out about a dozen vape and cartridges and
pens from a toilet. So how dangerous is it? Well,
it's pretty dangerous. How about just if you use a
moderate amount of pot, Well, even a moderate amount of
pot for teenagers does not do well. So you know,
(11:17):
what do you do? Did my kids smoke pot? You know,
I didn't know if they did. I'm assuming they did.
They certainly lied to me about it, and I was
pretty stupid about it because it never even occurred to me. Well,
parents actually should pay attention, and certainly in schools they
(11:38):
pay attention because it does a lot of harm to kids.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It does.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
All right, we're done with that, so let me tell
you what also is a mess. Climate change is real.
I've been talking about it for a very long time.
No matter how much grief Al Gore got when he
did his film and he talked about climate change and
he was ridiculed.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I'll tell you where he was wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He was wrong in terms of how quick this was
going to come, as were scientists. The glaciers are melting
faster than ever before, and you have temperatures on the
seas rising faster than you've ever had before, and the
(12:26):
sea change or the rising seas. Sea level is well,
it's higher than it was before. Now there are hundreds
of scientific studies out there and hazard assessments by researchers
calculating that about ninety percent of the underestimated baseline coastal
(12:47):
water heights are by an average of one foot. In reality,
sea level is one foot higher.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Than it was changed then it was thought.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now it's a little complicated because wait a second sea
level sea level right, well, it's actually not sea level
is determined by a whole bunch of measures, and depending
on which country, which area you're looking at, where the
sea meets the land, that is sea level right, Well, no,
(13:23):
not really. A lot of factors don't get accounted for.
When satellites and land based models are used and the
studies are out there that calculate that sea level, the
rise impact usually doesn't look like the actual measures sea level.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I mean, how is that possible sea level is sea level?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, there's a zero meter figure and for example, in
some places in Indo Pacific that area, the difference is
close to three feet because of the way it is measured.
And I'm not going to go through the way the
factors because it's wonkier than hell.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But the bottom line is, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Or say that we were gonna we're going to reach
the point of no return in twelve Oh, I think.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
We've reached them.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think critical my understanding, critical mass has already happened.
Now it's a question of slowing down how quickly we
reach levels that are well that are going to be
almost impossible to live in. If you have a fourteen
million dollar house in Malibu, for example, along the water
in ten years from now, it'll be worth fourteen thousand
(14:36):
dollars because it's going to be on stilts. You've seen
those homes in Louisiana, for example, in the Bayou. They're
all on stilts, and that's what is going to happen. Well,
look at the encroachment of the water. If you look
at homes on the beach and you go back twenty
five years, look how much more sand there was. Then
(14:57):
go to Alaska and and outside of either Anchorage or
Gnome or Fairbanks or whatever the hell city, it is
one of the big ones. And you have the men
in Hall Glacier that used to go out there and
there it was in front of you.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean literally, you'd walk out on the street and there.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Was you know, a quarter mile in front of you,
and I'm going there on hundreds of feet. Today the
men in Hall Glacier is miles away because of climate change.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
But you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Confused me this whole time? Didn't everything No, How did
the First Ice Age happen? And how did it melt?
And why why?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Because there no, there were legitimate changes, there's no question
about it. However, you think this is different because they
can because we know what carbon dioxide does to the atmosphere.
We know what methane does to the atmosphere. We have
measured the climate change over a matter of fifty years.
(16:00):
We're talking about to drop in the bucket. No, but
the point is that happens so quickly. It is happening
so quickly. The ice age when it came in and
then came out, even the little ice age ten years ago,
it wasn't overnight overnight meaning fifty seventy five years. It
happened over thousands of years. Well, this is happening in
(16:21):
fifty years. So this is not nature. This is the
punching out of the methane, and particularly methane.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Those cow farts just really do it. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's a huge problem that we have. And obviously the emission,
the emissions omissions whatever from cars, right from those tailpipes
and the power plants.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I mean, it is a mess. It's a mess.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just another story of life getting going in the crapper,
you know.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I just like doing those. They just make me feel
so good. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Eight, before we get into science fiction, which is no
longer science fiction, Neil, you have a Disneyland mentioned.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yes, as a matter of fact, I was at the
resort yesterday with the family and had a blast. Even
at like eighty nine degrees outside, it was gorgeous at
the parks and KFI Am six forty one's to give
you that same chance to win a visit to the
Disneyland Resort. Make memories like we did last a lifetime.
Of course, during Disneyland's resort seventieth celebration, throughout the entirety
(17:34):
of both parks from Dazzling Entertainment, They've got all kinds
of new experiences, a festive touch throughout the entirety of
the resort makes every moment just extra special. Happiness is
everywhere at the Disneyland Resort. Don't miss your chance to
be a part of something truly unforgettable. Keep listening to
KFI for your chance to win a four pack of
(17:56):
one day one park tickets to Disneyland Park or Disney
California Adventure Park. Offering subject to restrictions and change without notice.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And you'll have a choice.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Your choice to either go to Disneyland or buy a
new or get a new Mercedes. And the Disneyland tickets
are a touch more expensive, Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I will tell you this that they're having their food
and wine through the twenty seventh of April.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
That actually sounds that actually sounds great. Excellent, that actually
sounds great. Job there, Yep, all right, very quickly, I
want to talk to you about.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
No, I don't tell you why.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Because I want to spend more time on this and
I don't have it because we're running a little late
on the breaks. So what I will do is tomorrow
I will talk about this topic. And it has to
do with NASA, the European State Agent's Space agency, and
an asteroid hitting the Earth and there are some out there,
(19:02):
and I'll explain what's going on, and that actually is
pretty good news. The big story that we are and
we'll do this one tomorrow too, Okay, all right. The
big story that we're covering is what's happening in Iran,
and that the Americans are Americans, and the Israelis are
(19:22):
pounding Iran as the war expands, and the new Supreme Leader,
the son of the old completely dead Supreme Leader, who
is a hardliner, and that says an awful lot about
which way Iran is going. And they are being quelcentrant
and they are saying, we don't care, we are going
to survive.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They are fighting. The regime is fighting for its life.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The Iranian targets now become They took out the low
fruit when the the bombing the bombardment started, and those
are military targets. A lot of those missile launchers killed,
of course the Supreme Leader as well as I don't know,
dozens of the hierarchy in both government and the clergy
(20:11):
and the military. And now it's a little bit more
civilian oriented where the bombing, the attacks are taking out
oil facilities, taking out command and control centers.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It's getting really dicey for Iran.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
And what Iran is doing denying it at the same
time is attacking civilian targets around the Middle East, its
neighbors who have declared neutrality and still am not gone
to war, as Oman and Kuwait and the emirates in
Saudi Arabia are being attacked by Iran as Iran denies,
(20:51):
first denies that it had done it, and then now
is denying that these are military denies, these are civilian
targets as our neighborhoods are being attacked. Okay, guys, we
are done. Gary and Shannon up next tomorrow we come
back and there's still a whole lot to cover. It
starts with well tomorrow starts with wake up Call, and
(21:13):
that's Amy and Ann and Will Coleschreiber and Cono and
they all work their asses off, and then Neil and
I sort of saunter in at six o'clock and we
abuse you and make fun of you and just have
a rippering good time, don't we. Kneel absolutely, sah good,
(21:34):
all right, We're done. That's it Catch in the Morning.
As I said, Gary and Shannon are up next. This
is Handle in the Morning Crew KFI AM six p forty.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Last week was particularly brutal.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh yeah, last so hard. Yeah, last week was brutal. Yeah,
Neil out did himself last week.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I don't want to give you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Tell you a story about the first time I ever
smoked pot. And I was in high school at the time,

They vape.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They vape, So schools like Liberty are ramping up detection
and deterrence.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
However, that ain't easy.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There are actually vape sensors in the bathrooms.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It's not smoke because there's no smoke.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So somehow the technology is vape sensors. And the big
technology is our cameras. I mean that is the end all,
be all cameras, face recognition software, and even in bathrooms
obviously not the stalls or next to the urinals, although
(09:57):
can you imagine a camera next to a urinal and
then on a screen measures one to ten?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
How impressive you are.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
This is why I'm not in education, by the way,
I have ideas that are spectacular. The reality is that
students will do almost anything to hide the pot because
it's illegal to do it. In high school you can't
do it. It's illegal to do it if you're under eighteen.
(10:29):
So the students at Liberty, well, where do they hide
the contraband in their underwear, their bras, places where they
know school staff can't look. Not quite prison places. Kids
obviously flesh the evidence down the toilet when the police
or certainly the administrators show up. And recently at Liberty
(10:53):
they fished out about a dozen vape and cartridges and
pens from a toilet. So how dangerous is it? Well,
it's pretty dangerous. How about just if you use a
moderate amount of pot, Well, even a moderate amount of
pot for teenagers does not do well. So you know,
(11:17):
what do you do? Did my kids smoke pot? You know,
I didn't know if they did. I'm assuming they did.
They certainly lied to me about it, and I was
pretty stupid about it because it never even occurred to me. Well,
parents actually should pay attention, and certainly in schools they
(11:38):
pay attention because it does a lot of harm to kids.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It does.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
All right, we're done with that, so let me tell
you what also is a mess. Climate change is real.
I've been talking about it for a very long time.
No matter how much grief Al Gore got when he
did his film and he talked about climate change and
he was ridiculed.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I'll tell you where he was wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He was wrong in terms of how quick this was
going to come, as were scientists. The glaciers are melting
faster than ever before, and you have temperatures on the
seas rising faster than you've ever had before, and the
(12:26):
sea change or the rising seas. Sea level is well,
it's higher than it was before. Now there are hundreds
of scientific studies out there and hazard assessments by researchers
calculating that about ninety percent of the underestimated baseline coastal
(12:47):
water heights are by an average of one foot. In reality,
sea level is one foot higher.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Than it was changed then it was thought.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now it's a little complicated because wait a second sea
level sea level right, well, it's actually not sea level
is determined by a whole bunch of measures, and depending
on which country, which area you're looking at, where the
sea meets the land, that is sea level right, Well, no,
(13:23):
not really. A lot of factors don't get accounted for.
When satellites and land based models are used and the
studies are out there that calculate that sea level, the
rise impact usually doesn't look like the actual measures sea level.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I mean, how is that possible sea level is sea level?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, there's a zero meter figure and for example, in
some places in Indo Pacific that area, the difference is
close to three feet because of the way it is measured.
And I'm not going to go through the way the
factors because it's wonkier than hell.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But the bottom line is, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Or say that we were gonna we're going to reach
the point of no return in twelve Oh, I think.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
We've reached them.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think critical my understanding, critical mass has already happened.
Now it's a question of slowing down how quickly we
reach levels that are well that are going to be
almost impossible to live in. If you have a fourteen
million dollar house in Malibu, for example, along the water
in ten years from now, it'll be worth fourteen thousand
(14:36):
dollars because it's going to be on stilts. You've seen
those homes in Louisiana, for example, in the Bayou. They're
all on stilts, and that's what is going to happen. Well,
look at the encroachment of the water. If you look
at homes on the beach and you go back twenty
five years, look how much more sand there was. Then
(14:57):
go to Alaska and and outside of either Anchorage or
Gnome or Fairbanks or whatever the hell city, it is
one of the big ones. And you have the men
in Hall Glacier that used to go out there and
there it was in front of you.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I mean literally, you'd walk out on the street and there.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Was you know, a quarter mile in front of you,
and I'm going there on hundreds of feet. Today the
men in Hall Glacier is miles away because of climate change.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
But you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Confused me this whole time? Didn't everything No, How did
the First Ice Age happen? And how did it melt?
And why why?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Because there no, there were legitimate changes, there's no question
about it. However, you think this is different because they
can because we know what carbon dioxide does to the atmosphere.
We know what methane does to the atmosphere. We have
measured the climate change over a matter of fifty years.
(16:00):
We're talking about to drop in the bucket. No, but
the point is that happens so quickly. It is happening
so quickly. The ice age when it came in and
then came out, even the little ice age ten years ago,
it wasn't overnight overnight meaning fifty seventy five years. It
happened over thousands of years. Well, this is happening in
(16:21):
fifty years. So this is not nature. This is the
punching out of the methane, and particularly methane.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Those cow farts just really do it. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's a huge problem that we have. And obviously the emission,
the emissions omissions whatever from cars, right from those tailpipes
and the power plants.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I mean, it is a mess. It's a mess.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just another story of life getting going in the crapper,
you know.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I just like doing those. They just make me feel
so good. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Eight, before we get into science fiction, which is no
longer science fiction, Neil, you have a Disneyland mentioned.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yes, as a matter of fact, I was at the
resort yesterday with the family and had a blast. Even
at like eighty nine degrees outside, it was gorgeous at

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I will tell you this that they're having their food
and wine through the twenty seventh of April.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
That actually sounds that actually sounds great. Excellent, that actually
sounds great. Job there, Yep, all right, very quickly, I
want to talk to you about.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
No, I don't tell you why.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Because I want to spend more time on this and
I don't have it because we're running a little late
on the breaks. So what I will do is tomorrow
I will talk about this topic. And it has to
do with NASA, the European State Agent's Space agency, and
an asteroid hitting the Earth and there are some out there,
(19:02):
and I'll explain what's going on, and that actually is
pretty good news. The big story that we are and
we'll do this one tomorrow too, Okay, all right. The
big story that we're covering is what's happening in Iran,
and that the Americans are Americans, and the Israelis are
(19:22):
pounding Iran as the war expands, and the new Supreme Leader,
the son of the old completely dead Supreme Leader, who
is a hardliner, and that says an awful lot about
which way Iran is going. And they are being quelcentrant
and they are saying, we don't care, we are going
to survive.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They are fighting. The regime is fighting for its life.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The Iranian targets now become They took out the low
fruit when the the bombing the bombardment started, and those
are military targets. A lot of those missile launchers killed,
of course the Supreme Leader as well as I don't know,
dozens of the hierarchy in both government and the clergy
(20:11):
and the military. And now it's a little bit more
civilian oriented where the bombing, the attacks are taking out
oil facilities, taking out command and control centers.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It's getting really dicey for Iran.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
And what Iran is doing denying it at the same
time is attacking civilian targets around the Middle East, its
neighbors who have declared neutrality and still am not gone
to war, as Oman and Kuwait and the emirates in
Saudi Arabia are being attacked by Iran as Iran denies,
(20:51):
first denies that it had done it, and then now
is denying that these are military denies, these are civilian
targets as our neighborhoods are being attacked. Okay, guys, we
are done. Gary and Shannon up next tomorrow we come
back and there's still a whole lot to cover. It
starts with well tomorrow starts with wake up Call, and
(21:13):
that's Amy and Ann and Will Coleschreiber and Cono and
they all work their asses off, and then Neil and
I sort of saunter in at six o'clock and we
abuse you and make fun of you and just have
a rippering good time, don't we. Kneel absolutely, sah good,
(21:34):
all right, We're done. That's it Catch in the Morning.
