(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
I AM six forty is Later withMo Kelly. We are live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app as we Go Beyondthe box Score with Jackie Ray. Good
Evening Jackie Ray. On Friday,the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced

(00:21):
it would sponsor every player on atwo year deal that nets Las Vegas Aces
players one hundred thousand dollars each.That is almost double what most players in
the WNBA are making, and theWNBA is an investigation is underway. I
presume into this deal because it seemslike they would be circumnavigating the salary cap,

(00:46):
which is one point four million dollarsper team. It would blow that
out of the water. It smellsbad, It seems kind of jank.
Where do you come out on this? So I think I have a unique
perspective because you know, I'm inLong Beach and I cover city council of
that nature. So I have seenthe Tourism Authority do things like donate money
to certain entities. Right now,they've put a like fifty million towards a

(01:10):
musical venue. All of that isin an effort to bring tourism into the
city. I had the privilege togo see an Ace's game several times,
and there is a draw to theLas Vegas Aces. So the tourism authority
has every right to invest in thingsthat they think brings people into the city.
So what this essentially is is themsaying and recognizing the Las Vegas Aces

(01:33):
have a buzz. They are theteam of the league right now, and
so why not capitalize on that?And why not since now we're doing name,
image and likeness, why not dothat for these specific women because this
team, all of them, havea face in that city. If you've
ever been to Vegas and seen theAces, you know that this team is
the face for the Aces. SoI think the league is really missing it.

(01:57):
They've missed it a couple of times, in my opinion. The also
got in trouble a couple of yearsago when their owner decided to give them
charter flights because the rest of theleague did not have that. But the
Aces ownership has relationships in that city. Obviously, the owner is part owner
of the Raiders as well. Hehas relationships and he's making this beneficial for
the team and I think instead ofinvestigating this, because this was negotiated with

(02:20):
their agents. It's basically an nildeal, And so I get why the
league is saying, oh, butyeah, but other teams don't have that
will tell them to step up,tell them to build relationship. Let me
ask you this. Then I understandwhy it would benefit Las Vegas tourism.
But also playing on the other side, I understand why the WNBA would say,
wait a minute, that violates thespirit of the salary cap, and

(02:42):
then you have undue influence as faras inviting or encouraging enticing free agents or
trades to the city of Las Vegas, because you're blowing the salary cap out
of the water. Because these deals, although they are with the agents,
they're with every player on the team. It's not merit based in any way.
It's not like your Gatorade say hey, Asia Wilson, we want you

(03:05):
to be the face of our franchise. No, they're saying, like,
just play on this team. Yougot one hundred thousand dollars stat Yeah.
I fall out on the side thatthat is absolutely okay. The league has
to recognize that it has been inthe red for its entire existence. It
just doesn't have the capital soil topay these women what they're worth. I
would encourage Indiana Tourism Authority to lookinto ways into capitalizing on Caitlin Clark.

(03:29):
I don't know a single person who'splanning a vacation right now to Indiana.
But if you incentivize people, andif you create this buzz around the team,
now it's like okay, yeah,let me go. If you start
putting these marketing advertising out there,you have hotels giving you discount, you
have to make us want to go. You have to make us want to
invest in this team or in individuals. And I think if the league is

(03:50):
really trying to forward think sometimes youhave to think outside of the box.
I think this is a great idea. What about if WNBA said, hey,
why don't you make sure that itcomes through the league, not the
team, because if you do itto the league, because of the collective
marketing agreement, there is a way, long term, we can make sure
that this hits all the players inthe league through revenue sharing, as opposed

(04:11):
to these twelve players or so inthis one market, this one team,
and then it seems like there's favoritismto this one team and the other teams
like Indiana Fever, who are notas attractive. Dare I say, won't
be able to do these same things, but they don't have to suffer because
of it. I mean, that'sa very Kombaya idea. But I'm not
team everybody. Everybody's not the LasVegas Aces. Everybody hasn't won back to

(04:35):
back championships. Every team doesn't haveAsil Wilson and Becky Hammond as the head
coach. Every team is not thesame, so I hear you. But
the ownership has gone out of theirway to build a stell not only a
stellar team, give them a stellar, state of the art workout facility they
are investing. And ownership, Ithink ownership throughout the league needs to take

(04:55):
a look at this situation and figureout ways that they can partner with cities
where they can incentivized because there's nevergoing to be and even if you put
this into the WNBA, it's gonnaget so watered down that by the time
that revenue share does hit each individualplayer, it's not gonna be worth as
much. So I don't think thisis a team everybody situation. I think

(05:15):
this is a let's step your gameup situation. All right, what about
this though? There is something tobe said and you kind of alluded to
this about the history of the LasVegas Aces where Las Vegas Asis were under
WNBA investigation before the twenty twenty threeseason. Becky Han't, who you mentioned,
was suspended for the first two gamesof the season without pay and the
team lost to twenty twenty five firstround draft pick after the league rule the

(05:36):
Aces violated the workplace policies and leaguerules regarding player benefits. This is not
connected to that, but it's notdisconnected to that. I think it exists
in the same headspace. Do youdisagree? I do, because that one
was directly tied to Deerka Hanby andapparently she was promised, yeah, you

(05:58):
know, we're gonna keep you here, but then she got pregnant shortly after
that, and then there was questionssurrounding her pregnancy, and she brought this
to light because she felt she wasbasically traded away because of her pregnancies.
And so that's a different situation.That is a Becky Hammond internal situation.
That's not an ownership situation in myopinion. Obviously, like you said,
they're still connected but I do thinksometimes, I mean, there's no woman

(06:21):
out there that's listening to this whohasn't wondered if they are going to have
a baby, if that's going tojeopardize their job in some way, and
there should be protections against that.So I think that was a misstep on
the part of being so championship focused. And I can see why that might
be an issue. Is when you'reso championship focused, maybe you will make
missteps. Maybe this is one ofthem. But for me, it is

(06:42):
just not because this is a wayto really recognize that these players are drastically
underpaid. And let's not forget this. Most players go overseas and so they're
playing year round and so they don'thave time to let their bodies rest.
And I think moving ahead and lookingforward, if you want want the athletes
to be the premier athletes, youhave to give them options on not playing

(07:04):
overseas. And the only way you'regonna do that is money. And so
I think that that's what's happening here. You see that you still want if
you want to do a three peet, you gotta pay for that. There's
got to be some sort of wayto keep your players healthy and at home,
and I think this is just oneof those steps. All Right,
we've talked now about women's professional basketball. When we come back, let's get

(07:24):
into professional football. Harrison Butker hiscommencement speech at Benetticteen College. That story
won't go away. We haven't hada chance to address it, but it's
continuously evolving. We'd love to getyour thoughts on that. I'm not as
outraged as other people are. I'mcurious to see if you are outraged,
if at all. We'll talk aboutthat when we come back. Is Later

(07:45):
with Moe Kelly k if I AMsix forty. We're going beyond the box
Score with Jackie Ray. We arealive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're
listening to Later with Moe Kelly ondemand from KFI AM six forty. We're
continuing to go beyond the box Scorewith Jackie Ray and live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Kicker Harrison Butker forthe Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs has

(08:07):
been a topic of discussion. Idon't want to say he's in hot water.
I don't want to characterize it anyway. I know that he is a
topic of discussion because of his remarksgiven at a very conservative Catholic college,
Benedictine College in Kansas, because Ithink it is you, the women who
have had the most diabolical lies toldto you. How many of you are

(08:28):
sitting here now about to cross thisstage and are thinking about all the promotions
and titles you are going to getin your career. Some of you may
go on to lead successful careers inthe world, but I would venture to
guess that the majority of you aremost excited about your marriage and the children
you will bring into this world.Did you have a chance to see the
speech. What were your feelings aboutthe speech? Oh? I definitely saw

(08:50):
the speech, and I think myfirst thought was nobody cares about a kicker
until they miss and he definitely missedthe mark on this one, which is
why we're talking about this. Ididn't think people have opinions, and I
think one of the things that weas a society have really leaned into and
we should really reconsider, is allof us don't have to have the same
opinions. Do I emphatically disagree withsome of his opinions? Yes? Do

(09:13):
I think some of his opinions arejust flat out stupid, because considering who
his mom is, and she isa very well accomplished physicist, I believe,
obviously this is an educated woman.Obviously he lived well off of her
means and his father's means. Soto dumb down and to stand in front
of women who are accepting a degreeso they can go on and achieve these
careers and say, yeah, you'vebeen told the biggest live whatch you really

(09:35):
should be looking forward to is beingbarefoot and pregnant at home, totally missed
the mark. He's an idiot forthat, But that's his opinion. I
don't have a problem with him sayingwe've lost some of our traditional values.
I do think that we've lost someof our traditional values. I don't think
we've lost enough for me to getup and do a commencement speech about it,
but I do think a lot ofour values we have lost. And

(09:58):
he knew he would be offensive tosay that, you know, we have
this sin that has a whole monthafter it. You know, he did
a lot of in the windows aboutcertain things. We know you're talking about
pride, but we know you're talkingabout the gay community. And sometimes these
are conversations that you have in yourhome with people you love. There's no
reason or maybe on a podcast,you can say it on a podcast,

(10:18):
but there's no reason for you tostand in front of a group of people
who are ready to take that nextleap in their life and spew your opinions.
Nobody cares you're there to encourage them. Let me push back on that,
and some of this is sincere,some of its insince here. You'll
hear what I mean. I don'tpersonally care about what he had to say
because I am not a graduate ofBenedictine College. I am not a Catholic.

(10:43):
In other words, I am notthe audience his message was directed to.
And a Benedictine college is comfortable withinviting him. They knew what they
were getting, and the audience andgraduates were largely okay with what they got.
Then I don't mind that. WhatI do mind is, as a
member of the media, the selectedamnesia or the selective outrage, where you'll
have someone using his celebrity and platformlike Lebron James to espouse his opinions and

(11:07):
ideals and he's told to shut upand dribble, and then this very same
person will look at Harrison bucker andthen get up and applaud as if like,
wait a minute, you don't wanthim to shut up and kick.
That's where I have a problem withit, because we have the selective outrage
as far as what we accept andexpect of athletes, professional athletes, what
they're supposed to do with their celebrity. If it's okay for Harrison, butker,

(11:31):
I don't want to hear another mumblyword about Lebron James. Ever well,
and I agree with you, butthis is the ry. We need
more black media, more diverse media, because I think that if you have
a diverse set of people talking aboutcertain things, then there will be fairness
in the way that things are addressed. But that's not what we see.
We see a very lopsided media basethat is going to say, hey,

(11:54):
this is a great guy. Butwhen you have someone like Lebron James giving
who he is, where he comefrom, in his background, and then
you're challenging a system that benefits onegroup of people, then now of course
it's going to be like, oh, you should shut up and dribble because
you are saying things that go againstwhat we believe and things that we want
to perpetuate, and it's the oppositethis in this situation, this is a
person that they can identify with,it, they can relate to, and

(12:18):
he's perpetuating things that leans into thatbase. So if I are streaking correctly,
in other words, if they agreewith it, and it's okay,
I was trying to fill around it. Absolutely, Yes, here's my thing.
People want to say, Well,it was out of college. You
know it was done publicly. Itwas for public consumption. You don't speak
at a college and think that it'sin a room where there are no microphones

(12:41):
and there's no one recording it,no one's streaming it, and there's going
to be no clips of it.No, it was done in a certain
location, but it wasn't meant tostay in that location. If we're okay
with any athlete speaking out, thenlet's be okay with athletes speaking out.
If you're going to condemn Lebron Jamesfor speaking out as if he's not in
a American as if he's not afather, as if he's not a participant

(13:03):
in the society, then hold thatsupposed ideal consistently across the sports landscape.
Don't tell this one athlete to shutup, and this other one is like,
we need more like him. Fthat right, But it's always going
to be that way again until wediversify the media base. And it's it's
very difficult to diversify. I've beenin a journalist for twelve years, and

(13:24):
nine times out of ten, it'sjust me in the room that looks like
me. It's just me that's pushingback against some of the narratives in that
newsroom. So and that that's anexhausting task to just constantly be the one
that says, oh, no,you know, you didn't do that over
there, and the eye rolls thatyou get and it's like, oh,
you're overreacting. I'm not overreacting.I'm calling phoning it out. But it's

(13:46):
never when you're that lone gunman inthe room. It's hard to really,
you know, make people see becauseat the end of the day, most
people, unless you are really intentionalabout your humanity and your dignity, most
people only want to see and hearthe things that align with who they are.
You say that one more time becausethey didn't hear it, they didn't
get it, So slow down andsay it one more again. As they

(14:09):
say if most people, unless youare really in tune and conscientious about your
humanity and your dignity, most peopleonly want to see and hear things that
align with who they are. Ididn't agree with much of Harrison Butker's commentary.
I followed him for a long time. In other words, none of
what he said surprised me. Ifyou knew who he was, and if

(14:30):
you followed professional sports, if youfollowed the Kansas City Chiefs, this is
not new, so I wasn't surprised. Maybe I'm coming at this from a
different dvantage point. What he saidthat was for the graduates, and the
graduates can take it or leave it. Benedictine College can take it or leave
it. I don't care one wayor the other. I'm not going to
lose any sleep over it. Butit is a perfect time to point out

(14:52):
the selective rage and the selective amnesia. The selective criticism is something that I'm
going to high like time and timeagain before I go, Jackie Ray,
what else are you noticing out thereon the sports landscape which needs to be
highlighted? You know, there's somuch I am so excited about what's happening
in the WNBA obviously I'm covering that. It's interesting to me how the narrative

(15:15):
right now is around Caitlin Clark.She got a couple of hard screens from
Stewie, Sabrina and Nescu fake throughout, and the narrative is like, oh,
look at these bitter old women whoare being mean to this young girl
who has elevated the league. Theyall are crazy. Aple are crazy.
I know so again, but it'svery interesting to see how people can look

(15:35):
at something that's to me very blackand white and shifted to something that's convoluted
in something that it's not. That'svery interesting to me. Also, with
the Denver Nuggets not making it pastthe Minnesota Timberwolves, have we really seen
the evolution of Anthony Edwards. That'ssomething that I really want to explore.
So the sports world is really justkind of fascinating to me right now.
I'm having a great time. Well, Jackie Ray, I'm having a great

(15:58):
time with you. I usually textyou is are you watching this? Are?
Yeah? Yeah, No, I'mworking at the moment. Look can
it's so much all over the place. But I will be at the Sparks
game tomorrow covering that game. Iwill say this. The La Sparks are
in a building year, and eventhough they lost to the aces, they
held their own. I was veryproud of them. Dere Kahamby is on

(16:18):
our way to having an All Staryear. You're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM sixforty. I have some flaws. I
have some failings. There's some thingsI'm trying to work on. There's some
things I look at myself in themirror and realize, Okay, Mo,
you're not You're not being the bestperson you can be. For example,

(16:41):
you might have heard by now thatthere is this daredevil I put that in
air quotes. His name is orhe calls himself reckless Ben ben Schneider.
He goes around filming himself, tapinghimself with a selfie stick, doing all
sorts of stupid stuff. To me, I'm the person who usually roots for

(17:03):
the pavement. I'm the one who'srooting for the pavement to win against the
daredevil. I'm the one who's rootingfor the pavement to put an end to
the career of these would be daredevilswho are going around taping things for likes.
Subscribers hearts views like the a holewho jumped out of a plane and

(17:26):
crashed and been tried to cover itup. I'm rooting for the pavement to
win. This is different from EvilknievelABC Wide World of Sports on a Saturday
afternoon, who was a legitimate daredevil. He had a team around him trying
to protect him as much as possible. He wasn't doing anything illegal. It

(17:47):
was on the up and up.This fool, reckless Ben, had a
whole ruse in which he was tryingto throw off the cops so he could
run up in this tower, thegraffiti tower, and then walk via a
line from one tower to the othertower. I continue to root for the
pavement. So I'm between the twoabandoned graffiti towers in downtown LA. You're

(18:11):
looking at YouTuber Ben Schneider, orReckless Ben, as he's known to his
thousands of subscribers. He's walking aslack line between two of the graffiti towers
at Ocean Wide Plaza in downtown La. Oh but what they didn't tell you?
He has a selfie stick and he'staping himself as he's going across the

(18:33):
line. Hey, hopefully I makeit across him. Don't die. Ben
and his crew were able to avoidthe expensive police perimeter on Sunday morning.
We had pretend like we're a religiouscult, and we got like twenty people
to all hold sign and say Jesussaves, and the signs were blocking the
police's point of view. And thenwe all just like hop defence. See
I am rooting for the pavement andthe signs for blocking the police's point of

(18:56):
view, and then we all justlike hop defence. Then they climb five
hundred feet up the abandoned buildings anddid that multiple times to string and then
tighten two to one inch nylon strapsbetween the towers. I call it moral
Graffiti's what I call it. I'ma moral graffiti artist. I vangalize buildings
without causing any building damage. Ben, who is an experienced slack liner,

(19:18):
spent just over two and a halfminutes on the line in a safety harness,
walking high above the city. Iwas pretty confident Ben can pull it
off. Lydia Wren was a lookoutfor Ben's team and probably his girlfriend.
Lydia has better things to do otherthan the hangout with Ben. Don't be
like Ben, Lydia wrenn was alookout for Ben's team and the getaway driver.

(19:41):
I just do this for fun.And this is not you know a
job. I actually I worked ona VR start Probably not. If you're
talking about doing this, you're probablynot actually working for the VR startup any
longer you put your name out thereand you don't. You're not supposed to
tape your crimes. You know that. No, this is illegal, right,
you can't just go in a nevermind and the getaway driver, I

(20:02):
just do this for fun. Thisis not you know a job. I
actually I work on a VR startups. I'm like a tech person. I
just do this for fun. Thisis not you know a job. I
actually I work on a VR startups. I'm like, which, what person?
This is like my weekend thing.Reckless. Ben is known for his
unusual stunts and has walked the linebefore in Yosemite, and that was even

(20:25):
higher. He's well aware of thedanger. Everything's dangerous, like driving a
car is dangerous, but we're stilldrive whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa. I drive my carevery day. I am not as liable
or likely to die. A horrificdebt death as I am walking a slack
line between two buildings. Not Andalso, if I get in an accident

(20:48):
in my car, there's a cararound me. There's nothing protecting your dumb
ass from the pavement except that safetyharness. Now, not all danger is
the same, Okay, something insultingus, He's well aware of the danger.
Everything's dangerous, you know, Likedriving a car is dangerous, but
we still drive. So like theSun I did is dangerous, but I
think the risk out or I thinkthe reward outweighed the risk, you know,

(21:10):
because no it did not. Thereward of likes and hearts and views
and added subscribers did not outweigh therisk. That is another lie. If
you say otherwise, you're lying tome. The Sun I did dangerous,
but I think the risk out orI think the reward outweighed the risk,
you know, because it's like Ithink we inspired a lot of people.

(21:30):
I got to push my comfort zone. We got to do something scared.
We got to inspire the world togo What did you What did you inspire
the world to do? Mark?Were you inspired? I was inspired to
shout you kids, get off myabandoned buildings. Now I'm rooting for the
pavement. They can go up there. I'm just saying, I just want
the pavement to win ultimately. Wellyeah, just like Jesus would of course.

(21:52):
Just well, I said, I'ma flawed person, and I am
up trying to work these things out, and I am a walking contradiction.
Where's the flawed? I admit that, seriously, I am rooting all the
way for the pavement to win,fire the world to go live their best
life. Figure. Once police realizedthat there were trespassers on the tower of

(22:15):
property Sunday, they began to searchand the twenty Okay, they know who
it is. They have video ofhim doing it. What are they waiting
for. I'm quite sure they canfind him. It's like he's a one
man a flash mob. Okay,he's on the net. I looked him

(22:37):
up. He's a YouTube channel.I'm quite sure they can backtrace this YouTube
channel to wherever he is and findout and arrest him, because it would
seem with everything he did is probablyat least five or six pelonies, and
the twenty eight year old Ohio nativehad to hide in a tub covered with
plywood for several hours. Eventually,though he escaped. I don't get it.

(22:59):
That is amitment to the bit.Hiding in a tub covered with plywood
for hours, I'm waiting for thereward to come in. He said.
The reward was worth more than therisk, the reward of inspiring people to
live their best life. You're notinspired to live your best life. I'm
living my best life right now,and I've never ever risked my life to
that degree. I will say Ilooked at the video and I was terrified,

(23:25):
just because my fear of heights wasbrought to life watching him go across,
and I get I'm sure there wasthere was no chance that he'd really
fall and goes splat. I'm surethere were well, there was, just
you can see there was a harnesson him. If he fell, he'd
be dangling on the slack line.Done a slack line might have broken from
the weight of you know, thepoll, but you know the pavement let

(23:45):
me down. I was waiting forthe pavement. He was ski was skilled,
and I said to myself, I'veactually I think for me, I'm
hating because I could never So Ilook at someone that does something like that
and I'm like, man, theCohrna on you. No, I'm hating
because it will inspire someone to hispoint, but will inspire someone to do

(24:07):
something stupid and die. It's it'sone degree remove from the tide pod challenges.
It's one degree removed. No,I'm being serious yea, because you're
inspiring people to do equally stupid stuff. Ah, there's that point. Okay,
you know who are you inspiring?What is it? What is it
you're doing that is actually helpful ofpeople. You're breaking any number of laws,

(24:29):
you're you're playing games with police,you're trespassing, and you're doing all
these things which throw yourself into physicaldanger. Your partner girlfriend, I don't
know, booty call, whatever sheis, who works for a startup or
something. I don't know why shewas there. She wasn't even taping.
I don't know what her purpose wasother than moral support to get away driver.
That's right, get away driver consessingon video. I'm the wheel woman.

(24:56):
They're almost this dumb call back tothe seven to eleven criminals. K
IF I am six forty. We'relive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. When
we come back, we have yourhoroscope for this week. You're listening to
Later with Mo Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Kf I AM

(25:22):
six forty is later with Mo Kellywith your horoscope. We are live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Bottoms up. Here is the a pair of thief
that aligns with your zodiac sign.In other word, pre drink selections,
cocktails before your mail, pre mealcocktails aries. The Negroni. The origin

(25:45):
of Negroni is hotly contested, justthe way and Arees likes it. Aries
is ruled by Mars, the redhot temper short planet of action and aggression
in kind or war. The battleover the Groni's origin story is nothing short
of a barroom brawl. Every bitis entertaining. If you're looking for the
perfect acrimonious accompaniment to a Magrony cocktail, saddle up to its Wikipedia talk page.

(26:08):
Okay, Stephan, what the hellis mcgronie. It's a It's the
original one one one one cocktail,so it's equal parts gin, sweet vermouth
and COMPARI. Okay, I'm gladI'm not in ares Tarus, bourbon and
blood. Taurus is represented by thehorned and horny bull, and when provoked,

(26:29):
both a sign and totem go forgore. Enter the Bourbon and Blood,
a strong drink gussied up with atarragon sprig, perfect for these fancy
leaning people to boot and for theunrepentantly bougie bowl. This particular recipe comes
courtesy of the Risk Carlton and MAUIall right, Stefan, what it's a
bourbon and blood. It looks likeit's like a glorified old fashions bourbon or

(26:55):
rye Salerno blood orange liquor and halfound sweet vermooth with three dashes bidders of
choice. All right, so okay, it's pretty strong. Jim and I,
I think this is Mark yep vodka. And by the way, when
is your birthday? Mark's in June? Can you be a little more specific?
It was a whole month's Uh,it's early in June, and I

(27:18):

that. But the answer to thequestion, I've been taking my accues from
the Sunday News shows. That ismy statement on the matter. You have
received my statement, Jim and Ivodka martini. Oh yeah, those are

I think it's the third ingredient,quinola, or but I guess it doesn't.
They don't make it anymore, sothey say bartenders have to improvise with
lilt blanc. Yeah, the wayyou improvise is you throw out the person

(31:06):

formula by mouth, well rounded andrich, which is coincidentally what every Capricorn
aspires to be. This formooth describesyourself as par excellence and ideal for making

(32:34):
refined, exclusive cocktails like the AmericanoStefan. It looks like this is kind
of like a hodgepot. You cando whatever you want with it, but
it doesn't really there's no specific recipethat I can see. It's like a
suicide. So you just say thename again, please, Carbano and Dica
Americano. You have somebody ordered oneof those for me. I just stare

(32:58):
at him, or it could beCarpano and Americano. People are saying it's
basically like a different modified version ofthe Negroni. Okay, so turn the
soda gun on them. If theyorder that one Aquarius, you're the bitter
Giuseppe, the cinnar Manhattan. I'mnot an alcoholic. I can't tell you

delusions of capri. But make nomistake, both sign and drink are a
gateway drug. Stefan. Yeah,that definitely looks like a brunch drink one

quarter ounce approl, two ounce persecco, and the splash of soda water.
So I'm pretty sure it's popular withwomen. Okay, that's refreshing everybody.
That sounds good. This is thisall sucks. There's no whiskey in here,
there's no brown liquor. It's agood point. Yeah, this is
a superban. But for bartenders likemy co parents. She's a bartender,
