Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yay, it's that time again. It's time for drinks with
d D and.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
John and John for a jolly old show you I
Love You.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
From the United Kingdom, from the UK, from London. Actually
we are in the heart of London, deep in the
heart of London.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
We're staying at Travalgar Square, which is beautiful. It's right
over there and our windows like a flat because it's
like multi layer. I guess multi level a multi layer
and be a cake, but we but it's great. It's
like it's just really.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Called a flat. If it's not flat, there's two there's
two layers, like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just think the way it's design looks like a
really cool apartment. And they gave us a lovely room.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Because we were going to try uh. I wasn't crazy
about because this is actually what's here. We wanted to
do it out the window, but we don't have we'd
have to move furniture around and that wasn't gonna happen.
And so we tried weird backgrounds excuse me, and everything worked,
except you could see through stuff stuff like the hat.

(01:29):
You can see through the hat. Anyway, since we last spoke,
we had UH, the government shuts out here. What are
you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Just let me do it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I love you. Since since we last spoke, the government
shut down has had. They've shut down the shutdown, They've
shut down Schumer shut down, and uh, they've shut up
Schumer with the shutdown and shut down Schumer shut down.
I kind of like that. A little literation goes a
long way. But the shutdown is no more. And of

(02:03):
course now people all the government agencies are trying to
kind of get back up to speed, which apparently is
a bigger problem than any of us would imagine, because
this time the government was shut down by Schumer for
far longer than it had ever been shut down before,
and all the while kicking and screaming and complaining and

(02:25):
lying quite frankly about what was going on in the
world of the Republicans. And it just amazed me that
they kept doing that, and they're still kind of trying
to you know what, there's a time when you can
try to save face, and then there's a time when
you need to just say, you know what, I lost
my face. I need to shut up. Well, I'm sorry,

(02:47):
Schumer and the like you need to and what's his name?
Who's the FBI? Guy shifty Shift had them shifts just
trying to trying to pretend now they're mad at their
own party, which I think is pretty funny. They're they're anger.
Oh I'll tell you why I'm wearing this. Later they
were they're angry at their own party for ending the shutdown,

(03:13):
when all the way up until when the shutdown ended,
they were saying that the Republicans could end the shutdown
at any time, and it was all the Republicans fault. Obviously.
Now the majority of Democrats, I think only how many
seven can we have a conversation? Yeah, I think seven
seven Democrats hopefully. I think that's the right number. We

(03:35):
needed seven to come over and and vote, and they did.
Now they're all angry internally about those Democrats. Uh So
it sounds to me like one party really wanted the
shutdown to end, and one party really wanted it to continue.
And it sure seems to me like it was the

(03:55):
Democrats that really wanted it to continue. Why because they
wanted to give free health care. Uh and uh, you know,
a cell phone and dental dental work and a Frisbee
to illegal aliens instead of documented Americans instead of documented

(04:15):
immigrants to our country, because remember, those are the people
that were being screwed out of benefits as well, not
just John and Sally Smith. This was in this, This
was Enrique, and this was as Morelda, and this was
a bunch of bunch of folks from all around the
world who came to our country legally, which is a

(04:38):
melting pot. I mean, my god, President Trump offered people
a one thousand dollars of person to deport themselves and
then come back the right way. Where's the wrong in that? Ooh,
there's a song? Where's the wrong in that? You're gonna
just gonna pipe in? You're gotta say something? Why are

(04:58):
you shy? Chi Let me say something.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I'm just listening to you.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, I'd like you to contribute. Have you seen the
name of the show? You have top billing.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm drinking in Tom Collins, by the way, jin and
John is drinking gin and vodka.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Drink I'm drinking Vespers. You drive, you ride a Vespa
and you drink a Vesper. This is the James Bond
do you popped up?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
And people thought John would be a good James Bond
and we just hearn the Clint Eastwood that they had
offered him the job, or they were considering him from
the job.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
They offered him the job.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So he's like, no, I think it should be a
British actor, and I agree. I love John. I think
would be an amazing James Bond. It should be British.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
They also offered him Superman, which I thought was fascinating.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah he's skiddy.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well no, not when he was doing every which way
but loose and all.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
That every which way.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
So I'm wearing that hat because I feel like I
just I just feel more cosmopolitan when I wear that
hat people, And I was expecting him to be cold.
Look what do I look like? What what I don't
I don't yet speak d Yes he does. So anyway,

(06:21):
we are here in London. I wear that hat because
I think it's uh. I think it's just a little
more cosmopolitan and a little more bad ass. It's just
a little more badass, you know, around here. I don't
want people to think, oh, there's a guy, oh somebody.
We got off the train. We got off the train
and immediately some guy came up to me and said,
you look like you have a kind face. I said,

(06:42):
don't let it fool you. You knew what was coming now,
you look nice.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I'm not give me some money, bud.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
No, he was going to try to sell us a
tour somewhere or some sort of thing. But we had
a wonderful ride. We spent a couple of days in Manchester.
Here's some pictures of us in Manchester. Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
But London, you know, many times is moth of the
best city in the world, and you can see why
because there was so much history here and there.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
We keep talk.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
We have not felt unsafe because I wasn't a little
worried about that because people are like, oh my gosh,
you're going to London, You're going over the UK, it's unsafe.
But there was only one time that I was annoyed.
We went off a bridge and remember I was selling
stuff and they wanted to give you a ride in
a furry vehicle a pedal bike or at three or whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
What are those called rickshaw?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, horrible And they're shiny and they're furry, and they're growths,
and their smell.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
It looked like the shots. They looked like they needed
their shots. The vehicles not for people.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
London has been beautiful, except for that little john across
that one bridge. And it was really horrible.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
It was weird.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
John, let's turn around, Yeah, and everything was level again.
So yes.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Soon we got off the bridge and it's a bridge
right in front of a big vent which and you
can also see the the London Eye from there and
it's quite wonderful. But this bridge is so crowded and
it's and they're so scary because there's a bike lane
and then there's the cars come by and they really

(08:21):
drive very fast. Here good So if you will, it's
just if.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
You do from the London place, just watch whenever you
start to going on a vet.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
But it's a beautiful it's a beautiful view across the Thames.
It's a beautiful river. It's it's an amazing sight. But
it's the most crowded place we've seen so far. I mean,
it's kind of like Marty Grass. It's like that crowded
and you know, you slip once off off the curb
and you're in the street, you'll get run over.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's it's gritty and that is a nice worn for it.
But that was like one half of a percent of
the time we've been here. The flight was great, the
train was great.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Just when we got on the wrong train.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well they changed the track last minute, but they were
sweet and I said, okay, we'll just take this train.
It was a train that was twenty minutes later, and
we're like, what's going on here? But it was it
was no harm, no fout, it was great, it was fine.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, we got on the train and had a what
about a two and a half hour ride. Maybe it
wasn't even that. I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Very smooth. Yeah, they think that trains in Europe are better,
unfortunately than the United States, which I hate to say
anything is better than in the United States, but I
think they have us beaten in the train department.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well, the subway is the oldest subway. The tube is
the oldest. I don't want to go there, no, but
that is is the oldest one in the in the world.
So they started that notion here. Yeah, are there many
the public transportation around here is wonderful. There are They're
the trains, there's the tube, there's a taxi, there's Uber
of course, there's the double decker buses. There's other buses to.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
A double decker buses for those ones. This one right now,
let mean they are non stopping. Eland Berry clean and
a lot of fun. But we prefer to train it
or uber it or walk it. We just don't want
to do the taxis. But the taxis, I mean, there
are so many and so many buses. I don't know.
But I tell you what we aren't going to do tonight, hopefully.
We think we have a scheduled is a dinner tour

(10:16):
overt Yeah, a dinner tour on the towns, which will
give us a tour in the city from the towns,
and I think it will be lovely. We'll see. Well,
let's come know it next week.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's gonna be green, it's gonna be greed.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
So let me go ahead and do the hat giveaway
if I may, Okay, so people have time to think
about it and or look it up or whatever. So
I'm giving away another brewery. I love this Bereray. It's beautiful.
It's like stone colored, sad, and it's sad. I used
to give away my hats, but I also love to

(10:48):
board tan because it's kind of grayish. It's like a

I hate to give away the hats, but I love

great and obviously one size fits all. If that fits
you and fits me, this is I Yeah, those are good.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
These are Parkhurst. I love these berets. You know, they're
really not that expensive, but they're not cheap either. They're
just good solid berets and they're a good size. They
pit pretty much everybody.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like I like your hat. You're wearing that too.

Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman was in the UK because of
course Jane Seymour's from the UK. But when when we
were filming that show, people would show up, the whole
busload of Brits would show up and knowing every possible
thing about Mikaela and everybody and Doctor Quinn. So it

where they performed, so we're the cavern. Yeah, so we're
going to try to go there too.

Speaker 1 (14:37):

So we're kind of touching on the three suities, Manchester, London.
I'm sure Liverpool will be wonderful as well, So we're
you have a pool, would be lovely locally, leave though,
because we'd love to stay longer. But things to do
back in the States, things.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
To do and you know, this time the first time
in my life that the jet lag thing has really
really messed me up. So we wound up. We tried
to We had a wonderful dinner last night at the
Oh let's check that picture out. This is like four
different pies of chicken, chicken pot pie, beef pot pie, mushroom.

(15:19):
They have a fish one. I don't think it was
part of the four, but they were little. Well, there's
the beautiful, beautiful beautiful one, so tasty, good, wonderful pot pies.
And that was at the It looks like Abercrombie no admorality, admirality, admirality, Yeah,
because they had HMS Liberty or Victory or something like that.
Is I believe this's a pub that's been opened since

(15:41):
eighteen o four, eighteen o.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Five, But that's new, that's new for London.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, they're still checking them out. There's still newcomers here,
there's still there's still imports London call it. So. So
it was great. But we did that and it gets dark.
It's dark now and it's it's only five of the clock.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Where we are, ye, but against dark and New York
that way too at four thirty. Just can start.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, it's dark.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
A few things that we have observed difference between the
USA and the UK.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'll get back to my story in a minute.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh I'm sorry, honey, Sorry, go ahead, go ahead. I
thought you were done. No, okay, go ahead please.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
So I yeah, fixes everything. And so it was. So
we had our dinner and then we we got done,
and we stayed I thought we stayed rather late. And
we got back to the hotel and it was seven
seven I was like seven fifteen, seven fifteen.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Oh yeah. When we got to the hotel, we had
to drink are.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
We had to drink at our bar and then Eric,
Eric was there at Eric and I too, and our drinks.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
From the bar and we went with gin because Jin's London,
ask Tom Collins and I have it without the sugar,
so it's quite tart, but it's basically a gin fizzy lemonade.
And of course the vesper is quite the James Bond
elegance how London drink, of course, and what's in it?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Honey j vodka and li li lette lit l e t.
My battery is low. Oh we'll make it though, So
we did that. We had had to drink, and we
we stalled as long as we could and we got
back to the room. I think it was eight o'clock.

(17:25):
So uh, we watched a little Telly Look for Downton Abbey,
but for some reason they don't have Amazon Prime on here.
But then we both actually you went to sleep because
we were watching it. She was like she's out, and
I watched the rest or whatever it was we were watching,
and then I went to sleep, and like that, I

(17:45):
went to sleep and I thought Okay, this is great.
I went right to sleep, and then two hours later
I'm like, hmm, and she's like, I can't sleep. I said,
I can't either. So we watched The Twilight Zone, we
watched The One Step Beyond, we watched a movie that
Rod Serling did, and I thought, we're just not going
to be a to not going to be able to
go to sleep. And this has never really affected me
this way before. But usually when when I travel, we

(18:10):
bring some sort of a sleep aid. I usually call
my doctor and say, hey, I'm traveling, can you give
me something to make it so that I can sleep,
Because if you get here and you're off schedule, it's
very hard to get back on schedule. So we stayed
up until I think three thirty this morning, and then
she went to sleep, and then I watched a little
bit more of something, and I went to sleep about

(18:33):
four o'clock and we didn't wake up till eleven thirty. So,
you know, because the blockout drapes worked really really well here,
not that there's a lot of sun to block out
to begin with, but I woke up at eleven thirty.
We said, oh my gosh, we got to go because
it's going to get dark at four. So that's when
we took our little, our little walk about along the Thames.

(18:57):
And it was a lot of fun that we went.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
To a little pub called Charlotte Holmes.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
It was cute, yes, and there.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Was something we had like sort of a fish and
chips sing But then we also had.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Like a fish and chips sandwich.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, but it was good.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh yeah, and they don't call them fries here with
the chips were good. Oh, fish and chips, yep, that's it.
They were good. And the slaw was really good, quite good.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
But then they had this cheese sandwich and I swear
the cheese was rotten. I'm so gross, sorry, but it was.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
It was just pungent, very it's a it was a
pungent cheese. I thought it was great. It was like
kind of like Pimento and blue cheese had a child.
Now you know how we used to call it smelly
sock cheese. Yeah, it was smelly, smelly sock cheese sandwich.
But I liked it. It wasn't rotten. I liked it.

(19:51):
I thought I thought it was great. It's a little rich,
very rich for me.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, that's the only thing i've had here or even
on a planet again, plain rhyme was great. Virgin is great.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You wouldn't get a chili chili cheese sandwich.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, not that.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh we had a wonderful Uh last night we did.
Did we go to the We went to the bar
here earlier in the day, I think because we went
to the rooftop the rooftop bar and lounge. Uh, it's
not really a restaurant. You got hamper at the Saint
James Trufalgar Square. It's beautiful. Here's we'll show you a

(20:27):
couple of pictures from that or a video from that.
Because you can see the London aslean London eye. You
can see Big Ben, which is great.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
We always thought, I shared with John, he goes, why
do you keep saying that? Is it?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Because in your pum vacation Chevy Chase, get off, get
off the circle because you know they drive on the
wrong side.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Of the road and you have to get off, drive
on the other side of the other side.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, fine, but and you know as soon as we
you know, we called an uber and from the airport
and I always get in on the driver's side because
has big guys, who needs more room, and I got
in on the driver's side, but not because I'm thinking
America and I get in on the wrong side. So
I was like, okay, right away, we're in London or

(21:14):
we're in the UK. We're in Manchester.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
So we had a lovely, lovely time up on the
roof and we ordered giant corn chili, see giant corn
chili and olives. You know it was corn nuts. It
was spicy chili corn nuts. You know that you get
at a gas station. They were good, but it's funny
what they call it. And then olives. I had more

(21:38):
olives last night than I think I've ever had in
one sitting. Olives are super good and they were not pitted.
So if you come to London, if you come to
the UK, then make sure you remember that the olives
are not pitted. If they're in your drink, I believe
they're pitted, but if they're if they're in a little bowl,
they're not pitted. So don't chomp down on one because
you'll break a tooth.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
So something that I have observed the difference between the
UK and US is that I think the Brits are
much quieter, and you know, I when it talked about
like things you should do in London, but also right
after this says things you should not do in London.

(22:19):
For one, don't walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk,
and don't be like six people cross across, you know,
because they know you're an American. If you're so loud,
because we're allowed, we're louder than the are.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, we are loud, we are. Well, you're also don't.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Don't boys, but they're lovely.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
They're like, don't walk like your house is on fire
and then suddenly stopped to do something on your phone.
Don't do that because you'll get run over.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Well, I am an American living in America.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I know you you're good. Ah, but I will.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Tell you what John and I observe that you know we.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Are we supposed to walk up the left side of
the steps.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I think it is different.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
On the left side of the street.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
But it is funny how on the street they say
go to the right.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, look they say look right, look left, look right,
look come here letters you mind that, You mind that,
and remember that if it's written the proper way, then
look where they're saying. But problem is when you get
halfway across the intersection. You see the next one and
it says look right, but it's pointing left. But those

(23:35):
letters are upside down because that's for the people coming
to It's just a little tricky. We don't have that
anywhere in the in the US and the US. If
you're from Britain and you come to the US and
you you go to Manhattan and you step out, you're
just gonna you're gonna get run over. We don't have
anything on the on the pavement that tells you where
to look. Thank god they do here because they've got

(23:59):
the double decker bus is, they've got the taxis, they've got.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Many double decker bus a.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Bunch of cars. But they've got also these the dreadful
scooters and bicycles that they rent everywhere in the US.
They have the vesper. Yeah, they have all of those
as well. And the uh, just just the regular drivers
and they're going, you know, it seems like they're going fast.

(24:23):
It's very condensed here. It's very uh. They're probably going. Yeah,
there's no there's no shoulder really none. So if you're
on the sidewalk, if you're on the curb into the
street with your foot against the curb. You're gonna get
run over. So you have to be very very careful
when you come here. Uh you can't be. I mean

(24:44):
I've seen seen people wandering around with their headsets on
and they're on their phone and think, my god, if
I tried to do that for two blocks, there's no
way I would make it home. So if you come here,
mind the mind the gap, mind the gap, Mind the
the density. You are my density.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
It's a lot going on like this in New York.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Back to the future. You are, but you, But you
really have to pay a great attention to that because
there's any number of vehicles that will that will run
you over and it's not their fault. You know, they
have the right of way. Just do not exercise your
your United States prowess and I have the right of way,

(25:30):
and don't do that here because that's what thing. That's
what they will put on your tombstone. At least he
had the right of way. Don't do that. I want
to eat like a local. Sorry, somebody just popped up
on there. We're leaning ahead. You gave the hat away.
Should I try one of those backgrounds?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
No, Okay, got messed up last time, only with the hat. Well,
I tell you that if I may, honey, please, So
I love it here because people wear hats, people wear scarfs,
so do that a lot. And I get you know,
some people are you know, back home, they're like, why
do you always wear a hat? Are you bald? No,
I'm not bald. I'm good. I like it. I mean again,

(26:12):
a lot of people do know this, but skin cancer
and it got me started wearing hats and then it's stuck.
I'm like, it was my thing and so I wear
the scarves in the hats. But here, So you.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Didn't have a thousand hats before that happened.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Now I did not.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
So this is a you've accumulated a these hats?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, John, is that because we went back to the
lumberyard and you got more to make the hat wall.
So we have a hat wall. We have a gigantic place.
On one side there's a big hat wall, so now
the other side is going to be a hat wall.
So yeah, but in Great Britain people wear hats, you know,
because it's usually chillier and I mean the scarf.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Have to build another floor for in here.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
In that way, that's great.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, like you blend well, I don't saying I blend.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
I'm just saying, I mean, I don't blend, but we're
better or for worse but it. But but it has
so appreciated here they are. And by the way, we
were here during the Armistice.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
No oh, the two minutes of silence, that was wonderful.
We were actually in Manchester of.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
The Armistice and she literally.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Had eleven eleven.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
When of the workers say, oh, we're going to observe
and we already knew it. We had seen it on
the telly.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I hadn't seen it. I didn't I didn't know it,
and John did know. I said, you know, Armistice.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I have a history degree, so you know that's
like agree. Well, I mean a lot of people don't
know that that.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
World War One ended on November eleventh, nineteen eleven, eleven eleven,
so and hey, folks, let's face it. Great Britain just really,
really really suffered, I mean really sacrificed way more in
the United States. Not to take away from our World

(27:55):
War One bets. We would never my grandpa, but there
were so many great.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
We didn't fight that war on US soil.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, of course, you know, uh, London. Oh, these cities
that you know, they just had the sirens and they
were just decimated. You know, they dropped the bombs and
dropped the bombs. You know, we didn't have that, so
our soldiers went back home to a country that was
in text.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
You keep talking, and while she's talking about it, I'm
going to show you some statuary that we saw today.
So check this out.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
And even Winston Churchill, you know, we just saw it
that gosh, I know, I'm not going to get it right,
but so few people did so much for so many No.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Never before was so much owed to so well, you yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Which is exactly right, because the British boy they just
really really sad to sacrifice World War One. So yeah,
so they're but they're very good at commemorating that. And
I have to tell you could hear nothing whenever that
went on, whenever the two minutes of silence done, and
someone else had talked about because you know, we had
mentioned this on Facebook and someone else had talked about

(29:00):
they were in London and they weren't like in the
middleum the street and everybody stopped the vehicles, everybody stopped everything.
So they really do observe that here because of all
the sacrifice, because they take it seriously here as we do.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
But the red reefs are still we still see the
red reeves or is that they poppies poppies, Okay, so
they are. They are lying by the statuary in commemoration
of the sacrifice of these amazing people, the many, many,
many many people who sacrifice. So we're proud to be

(29:34):
here during that time. And I'm glad that I called
her Daisy because she was wearing jeans and a red
and white Gingham shirt. But her name actually was Madison.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, she was at our hotel in Manchester because I
think she thought maybe we wouldn't know because Americans, I
mean love they do a lot of Americans like you,
and it's many, so don't feel bad about that. But
in Great Britain they know it. It they know it
because they had many family family member.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
No, I mean I knew it, but I didn't realize
we were here on eleven eleven.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yes, but she wanted to make sure we knew, so
there'd be two minutes of silence. To you.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think it's great. I've only always only heard it
be a moment, a minute of silence. I think two
minutes is great. It was solid.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
There were no noise at off nothing, no Hall City
just stopped.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, uh should be, absolutely, it should be and it was,
and I it would have been nice to have been
here in London for that. We got to London shortly
after two hours after. But it was great, it was
grand liked you said. Tonight we're going to go for
a cruise ride.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
On the Thames.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
On the Thames and that should be fun. We're not
quite sure we're to get on the boat yet. Well,
I don't know exactly what happened there. We lost we
lost power, but to have a handy dandy charging device here.
So what were we talking about.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Well, you were kind of finishing up or walk. Oh yeah,
it's like bustling when we woke up John. You know,
we were talking about we were having trouble with the
change of time. And also we can't believe that some
of the folks that are going to go to the
show are coming in the day before and leaving the
day after. I don't even know how they do that.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Oh something Smallville cats. Yeah, they're coming in the day before.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
That's the day before, and then they're going to work
two days.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Somebody, I think you said, is getting off the plane,
getting picked up and coming right to the event. That's
good luck with that, although you know that might that
might be better if you can sleep on the plane.
I didn't sleep on the plane all that well because
I was hot. It was hot on the plane. Wonderful.
Service was great, but.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Virgin was wonderful. We really enjoyed it. But it was warm.
But then when we started to land, I'm pointing out
to John, I'm like, you know, and they're cooling it off,
so I it's they warming up for people sleep.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
But John gets high.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, so it's different than most. But yeah, no, compliance
we have had the best trip because you know, we
avoided all the shutdown drama and we got right on
the plane, thank goodness. And then we came over and
then when we when we took the train, that was
lovely too. Uh, the Uber was love All of our
travel has been great and I'm sure it'll be wonderful

(32:27):
to Liverpool. And I'm back home as well, because now
the shutdown's.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Over, right, But like I said, are they are having
to gear back up because they didn't know when it
was going to end. And of course there are some
people griping and complaining that it ended at all because
they have such a heart for their paid votes. Now,
something else I read I hope this is true, is
that they are why in the world people who are

(32:56):
in our country illegally would be counted in the set
the census.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, that's crazy, is beyond me.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
So apparently in California they are not going to do that.
They're not going to do it in is it California, No,
it's tex A couple of states have said that, which
to me seems like duh. Of course they shouldn't be
included in the census. But that is going to effectively,
it's not going to actually read district those states, but

(33:28):
it is effectively going to change the numbers in the
districts that exist, and they are going to then wind
up being, imagine that more conservative. I'm all for it.
I'm absolutely all for it. And by the way, I'm
doing what I'm doing NEWSMAX on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Talking about Donald Trump's President Trump.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Saturday marks the three hundredth day of Donald Trump's second term,
and I think that's pretty fantastic. And what I think
is really funny is that on X especially I don't
know why anybody, any liberal person could possibly complain about
Elon Musk, because he's given them such a platform. I mean,
everything you read on X, there's very few things in

(34:13):
the middle on X. They're either insanely right or insanely left.
And I still enjoy sparring with the insane left folks,
just as James Woods does. I think it's it's pretty funny.
I think it's pretty funny, and I hope they do too,
But I don't really care. I hope they I hope
they do too. I hope meat Heead has a sense
of humor. I hope Gavin Newsom has a sense of humor,

(34:35):
because I've written some things apparently directly to him many
times when he's like comparing himself to God and saying
that people are saying, you think, do you think Gavin
Newsom should run for president? What a great ticket it
would be, Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris twenty twenty eight.
I say go for it, because you know that'd be

(34:56):
the easiest team to beat. As far as I'm concerned,
have people forgot what Gavin Newsom has not done for
the state of California? I mean, what what possible accomplishment.
Can he tout for the state of California during it?
What what somebody tell me? I'm somebody out there has
got to disagree with me. What has Gavin Newsom done

(35:19):
for the state of California that is actually a good thing?
And I'm guessing you're not from Pacific Palisades if you
have a good thing.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Well, here is a thing, the Hall News. You're coming up.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
What were you whispering? You're British All of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I guess I am, because I think I'm kind of allowed.
But here I feel like we.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Have to be like, oh, like when the plane landed,
here is a twilight when the plane landed. You know,
in the in the States, the plane lands as soon
as you hear that. You you know this. It was
like we were in a library.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
That's my experienced hearing loss really loud.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
I may have experienced hearing loss.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
But kids, you not. When we landed in the UK,
it was so quiet. Everybody's just waiting for the door
to open. It was so quiet. I can't even believe that.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Well, the first thing in front of me, which door
do we exit from? I said, I'm not sure, but
I think it's that one.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
There's I think when it is, they were very much
in a protocol. They don't want to be in anyone
else's business, just like we don't want them in our business,
and they don't want to be where in America. Hey,
how you doing, what's up? What's going on? I think
it's a little more like that. And you can't like overgeneralize,
but I'm telling you. When this flight landed, and this

(36:43):
was a gigantic plane, ginormous, it was so quiet. I
looked at John I was like, I cannot believe this.
It's such a difference.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
She was across the aisle. She was like, but yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Mean it's just everything quieter and more.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I don't worship dude, truly.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
More elegant, far more elegant.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
It is. It is. So we're coming up. We're already
in the holidays, actually, and I'm gonna know I always
always like to highlight the Turkey because people go right
to Christmas. I guarantee you when we go back to Madison,
it's all Chris like a dummy. It's all Christmas, for sure,
And it's Christmas here, and it's Christmas and Manchester people

(37:31):
love Christmas and I get that, but I'm all certain
for the turkey.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Well, I said that yesterday last night when we were
up on the rooftop. I said, well, they've already skipped.
They skipped right over Thanksgiving. She said, Honey, they don't
celebrate Thanksgiving here.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, right, that was the wrong place.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Okay, yeah, you're right, and I guess the fourth of
July is out to.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah big time.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Oh but it's been a lot of fun. It's been
a lot of fun, and we're going to have a
whole lot more fun the next couple of days. Of course,
watching news Max on Saturday. I think that's what we're
talking about before the thing. I don't know anyway, it's
gonna be who am.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I talking with Rob Estorino, rob Esto?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
No, talking to Rob not Schmidt and not there through
the many robs on Newsmax. Interesting, but it's going to
be fun.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Good he's good.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Oh yeah, Well, I love the folks on news Max
and that's going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
More in the news here, by the way, is very
interesting because the top news item other than after the
Armistice commemoration, Uh, it's getting fired resigning. I'm sorry they resigned.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
The CEO of the BBC and somebody else the same thing.
They resigned, Yeah before you know, you can't fire me.
I quit.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, are you going to resign? You're gonna quit, You're
gonna get fired, you know. So clearly someone the top
dogs are leaving BBC, which is a huge stillier because
everything's BBC, BBC one, BBC two, BBC sounds, BBC I Player.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
What did they do to earn this dubious honor? They
did exactly what. This is why it's so ridiculous, And
I'm sorry BBC to be saying this, but so have
I and I love BOAC. They had great commercials and
great flights. In fact, I liked this, I'm getting on

(39:29):
a rabbit trail here. That's water rabbit trail here. But
way back in the Duke's days, I actually flew my
dad and my stepmom over to Paris on Air France
on the concord and that was great. But what they
did was the exact opposite of what CBS did when

(39:50):
CBS edited an interview with Kamala Harris to make her
sound intelligent, to make her sound like she was actually
making a point, and make no misas this wasn't editing
for time they took and this has been proven, which
is why they lost fifteen million dollars. I think that's
the number. They took an answer of hers from something

(40:13):
else and actually compiled a couple of They edited it
so she made sense. Because we all know I just
wrote a song called word Salad that's going to be
on the new album. We know that she doesn't make
any sense. Maybe she makes sense to her, but she
doesn't make sense to us. Okay, Afghanistan is a country
that is not as big as other countries, because there

(40:34):
are other countries that are bigger than Afghanistan, and we
know this to be true. Okay, what did you just say?
So what the BBC did is they took an interview
with Donald Trump and edited it so that he didn't
make sense. And you know that he makes sense one thing,
whether you like him, love him, hate him, whatever it is,

(40:58):
you never finished watching something that Donald Trump was a
part of, wondering what he meant.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
He's pretty clear.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
He's pretty clear, and if you disagree with him, that's fine,
but you don't wonder, ye I wonder what he meant
by that? No, you don't have any of that.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
So bottom line, is he doing for one billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
That's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot of money.
We've got to and thank god he is doing it.
He did it with coining the phrase fake news. The
news has been a a propagator of propaganda since well
it really since forever, since it, since it started. They

(41:38):
just have gotten very sloppy about it. You know, they've
gotten to the point where they where they think they
are beyond reproach, above the law, beyond reproach of men.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
All these people going down after it, Tolci Gabbard, everybody's
being caught for these terrible things, for against their own country.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah, these are crimes. These are not simple mistakes that
these folks in the press have made. These are not
simple mistakes that Chuck Schumer has made. That Adam Schiff has.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Made own country.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
These people and you know, they they are sworn to
uphold the Constitution, and part of the Constitution is the
Constitution doesn't care if you like the president. You are
not supposed to undermine an incoming president. Hello, Barack Obama,
You're not supposed to undermine an incoming administration because you

(42:34):
don't like their politics. You're not supposed to do that.
You're supposed to say, well, shit, we lost, We got
four years to make this right. That's what you're That's democracy,
you moron, that's we live in a constitutional republic. You
are they're they're here saying, oh, this is against No,
you are the ones that are against democracy. Everybody knows it.

(42:56):
But you were not that stupid. So finally, these people,
what is what is the Shakespeare? They're being hoisted on
their own petard? Is that what it is? They are
being tried and hopefully convicted by their own words, because
we don't have to get them. They can't plead the
fifth because it's already it was so great about all this,

(43:19):
it's it's already documented by the fake news. So the
fake news has already filmed all of their lies and deception,
and now we have uncovered it. So we saw a
couple of a couple of days ago. Gosh, I can't
remember who it was. It was a senator.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
I'm looking to see how much time with.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
A Democrat senator Democrats to the man, Alice bang zoom Oh,
a Democrat senator was saying, well, no, I don't of course,
I don't believe in that. Who would believe in that.
And then the guy said, these are these are the
words that the Democrats hate the most. Right now roll

(43:58):
the tape. I'm bad because then here comes something where
they are saying exactly what they just said. They never said.
Now am I saying I've never I've never contradicted myself.
Absolutely not. But I hope that I have the predisposition

(44:21):
to be able to say, you know, I don't remember
what I said before, but I have changed my mind
about a lot of things. I may have changed my
mind about this. But what's happening is these folks are
being caught in out and out lies where they are
denying something they said yesterday. Okay, so fifteen minutes yesterday.

(44:48):
So all all y'all in the Democrat Party, especially y'all
who have made what do they say? Nancy Pelosi has
out out to perform the the New York stock of
Shane's S and P five hundred by seventeen thousand percent.

(45:08):
So you're going some kind of the what are You're
just lucky?

Speaker 2 (45:12):
You're going to be a gazillionaire and some public servant.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yehilly, and then you're going to defend it. Come on, yeah, really?
And you're gonna you're gonna go with. Here's the funniest
thing about it for me is this is the Democrats
of the party that have gotten filthy, stinking rich. Barack Obama,
Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, all your bill, pardon
me Bill. I know all these folks who've gotten read Adam,

(45:38):
they've gotten ridiculously wealthy. But they are saying that we
are the party that wants to wants to kiss the
kiss the ring of the of the wealthy. We're the
Republicans are the ones who are more worried about the

(45:58):
kissing the ass of the wealthy than we are of
the of the common folks, of the normal people. That
is such a out and out lie. And people know
it now. People know it, especially after this, you know
now they're they're whining and crying and pissing and moaning
in their corn flakes about that the shutdown is over.

(46:18):
How can how can you complain? How can you can
you say the shutdown is hurting, is hurting you know,
good tax paying Americans, and then when it's over, say
this is an atrocity. How can you do that? How
can you think that's okay? Please say something?

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I try to no, just say it.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
I don't wait for in a moment, I just interrupt.
I find it difficult to believe that you weren't interrupt.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Well, because nobody cares to be interrupted. I interrupt even
one any bidy io. These women who are in love
with you are like, I can't believe you're interrupting on
what I'm talk and I'm like, okay, so I just
kind of went, can you say something a value? Well?
So thank you everyone for your birthday wishes, because I
had an over birthday to you, Happy birthday.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
To you, Happy birthday you stay on the melody ded
Happy birthday too.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
I had the best time I have So anyway, I
just wanted to.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Thank you your birthday week.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
I want to thank you for all the love in
all the wonderful birthday wishes. You're so sweet and so kind,
and I looked and read all of them because I
love that. So that is just it means a lot.
So I just want to let you all know that
we appreciate the birthday wishes, the thoughts, the prayers, making
sure because a lot of you were like, do you

(47:42):
feel safe there?

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:44):
It really has felt very safe when we went in
that kind of tourist area with the fuzzy bikes and
the it was a little too crowded, a little bit
too much chaos. I didn't like it, and John could
tell that, so he got me out of there very quickly.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
I didn't think.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
I didn't think that.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Well, I'll tell you it was.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Like four minutes maybe, But the rest of the trip
has been just perfect.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Well because I don't know, if you know, there's this
insane thing that people do in New York on the
subway where they'll push people in the inner path of
the subway. So as we're watching these cars go by,
you know, not at one hundred miles an hour, but
probably twenty five thirty miles an hour, and you will
lose that argument. And I thought, you know, I don't
want to walk too close to the That's why I
worry about what side of the sidewalk should we be on.

(48:28):
But then on the other side of that sidewalk, the
little rail that keeps you from falling in the Thames
is only about maybe three feet high, so it's beautiful.
It's brass, I think it's brass, or it's copper. Copper
turns green when it gets older, right, So it's beautiful,
but it's like, eh, I don't know where to go here.

(48:50):
I don't know where to be and it's just too
crowded for me.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
To be comfortable.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
So we got off here it's huge, and but I'm
getting so much better.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
And you know, like when people someone on the subway,
is that someone that's saying no? And here it was
so chaotic and the rivers right there were on this
very crowd of bridge. It just didn't seem safe to me.
And John could tell. So he's like, let's go back.
So we did so what lasted just a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
And then yeah, maybe five minutes over five minutes back.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
And then we're back in Lovelyville in London where there
are no more furry bikes.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
It's a strange thing.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
It was really weird. It was like we were in
the twilight Zone and chaos and it was and I
did not feel safe there everywhere else. And again that's
like one half of one percent of the trip. Everything's
been great, but you know, you kind of know when
you walk into an area. I think with travel you
just really have to be aware of your surroundings. Uh,
you just do wherever you are, you know, new York

(49:47):
has that, but we know New York very well, so
we know what to do there.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
But in London, in my twillery coat, by the way,
I have a there's a little pocket with a zipper
for your wallet, right so or with my fancy band,
so I put that in there.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
And I have my flat bags me like little flat
like flaps or whatever.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
So you can cut that strap though on take the
take the bank. But but we got out of there.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
But every price else it has been really great and
we've had a wonderful time. And again, thank you for
the birthday wishes. Thank you, honey for the birthday trip.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
It's just been fantastic. And mornicicume yep.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
And you know what else, London is clean and Manchester
was clean. And it amazes me because there are no
trash cans.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Oh that's so weird.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
I don't know. I remember when you can't throw it away. Yeah,
but I don't see people carrying trash now.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I don't get with it.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
I don't see. We saw one spot on a staircase
that had some trash, but I don't know how they
deal with the trash here. So hats off, hats off
to the system because it's it's incredibly clean. Somebody will
say because it rains all the time, Vancouver is clean
because it basically lives in a car wash. But it's remarkable.

(51:06):
We saw bags of trash in front of a museum
like that had been collected. So I don't know. If
I don't know, it's a mystery.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And something else. I didn't realize that they say, oh,
it rarely snow's here. It just doesn't snow here and
there we're at home and snows all the time in
most places, unless you're in palm springs or you know,
certain areas in.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
The mountains and pumps. I think there's too much ambient
heat from all of the it is densely populated, that it.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Rains all the time and it doesn't snow and you
know it for some reason. I really didn't know that.
So that was another thing learned. And also that the
people here about protocol and they're very polite and quiet
and crowds. So it's the softest crowd I've ever been around.
It's the quietest crowds I've ever been around. And when
the Armistice thing happened and was so quiet, literally they

(51:55):
opened the door at the hotel and it was even
quiet in the streets. Everybody just stopped stop.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
It was great. That was so we are We're headed Liverpool, obviously,
we talked about that. Then when we come home, we
missed the Northern Lights in Madison.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Boy, that was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
I saw picture.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
I guess it's very rare and it was amazing.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
So we missed that. But we have when we get
back home, we uh, we have to take the motor
home out for a drive because, uh, guys been sitting there.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Do do do do?

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Do? Do do do?

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Because if she loves me, I'm into When you said
Liverpool like the Beatles thing, it.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Was so many words ago, I know it was. I
was answering, what does what does that have to do
with taking him home?

Speaker 2 (52:41):
You know?

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Yes, suh.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Yeah yeah, I can't hit it, yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Yeah. It's a weird. It's weird cord, weird cord. And
hopefully I don't know if we're going to go to
Abbey Road or not. Now you just stick on a
melody and I'll try to find the harmony.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
But anyway, but when we get back to the States,
we have Thanksgiving and then John performs in New York City,
we'll probably we won't probably go back the following year,
but he performs in New York.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
I keeps seeing these things online that that Mondom's mom, Domni,
is already in trouble. But I don't know, that might
just be that might just be right propaganda.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
You know.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
I'm not saying there's no right BS propaganda as well,
because I see a lot of that. But I see
these pictures on YouTube, especially Mondomie's like, is that because
oh now it's over. It's over before it starts, and
I'm kind of hoping it is over before it starts.
People have said, you know, you've got to give him
a break. No, history has already given socialism as many

(53:47):
breaks as it's ever going to get.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
It be blatantly bad. I mean, don't anymore about that.
That guy is going to be blatantly bad.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
He does not care if the governor of New York,
who were not big fans of either, If the govern
of New York is saying, well, you really can't do
this free bus thing. Who's going to pay for the
free bus? Yeah? He's like what So now what seems
to be coming out is he made a bunch of
promises campaign promises in areas where he has no effectiveness.

(54:19):
He has no uh, he has no authority, he has
no jurisdiction. Now when he was running, apparently he didn't
know that. Maybe, but his party should have said, well,
you know, you really can't make that because this is
what they're saying about President Trump. Well that's overstepping you know,

(54:39):
this is President Trump or Trump. They don't even call
him president. Shame on you. President Trump is over overstepping
his authority. Well, that's exactly what Mondomni has has promised.
He hasn't overstepped it yet because he has no authority yet.
But it's going to be very, very interesting. But I
think he's going to pardon the expression, I think. I

(55:01):
think mom Domni is going to be castrated before he
gets to the barn. I really do watch from afar
we have.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
And I feel bad because we're gonna have to post
as we have an event the weekend after we get
back in Caledonia, Color Missouri. So we'll do that and
we'll post more details. It's like a toy store type
of thing and it's.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Going to be a lot of fun and it's supposed.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
To be John Catherine Anton. We'll see, because Catherine was
in a hospital. He's out, she's out and doing well.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Now. The reason why she yelled cala donia is because
I had a wonderful piano player in my band years
ago that would stand up for some reason and yeo,
cala donia, and he'd throw his arm up in the
air like that. And one night we were playing Billy
Bob's and Billy Bob's, the ceiling above the stage is
the same height as the ceiling above the crowd, and

(55:55):
when you stand up, it's only about this high. And
he did that and broke his halfway through a full
set and had to had to play the rest of
the set like this.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
So we get back up.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Sorry, that was funny, but it was funny.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
We get back on Monday, and then we go to Caledonia, Missouri,
I believe, Saturday, and I think Tom and Catherine's going
to be there, which will be lovely. It's been a while.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Since the absolutely we are dukes.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
So we'll see what happens in the December fidth of course,
we are in New York to play.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
What is the name of the place I always hotel?

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Well, it's at the hotel, Yes, which.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Is great because I did a tribute the thirtieth anniversary
I think might have been fortieth anniversary of Grand Hotel
and at the same time, no in the same hotel,
well in the same hotel, in the same room. So
hopefully they're going to be able to put up.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
The screens and all that stuff, I believe. Anyway, it's
a great hotel and it's going to be amazing.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
And then my brother Bob's going to be there. I'm
going to invite my brother Mark too, but I think
they're in I think they're in Florida at that point.
I'm not sure if Sheila. By the way, my stepmom,
Sheila has a new cat named Ziggy and two minutes
named Ziggy, and we sent gosh. I need to text
her because we sent her a kitty cat coffee cup,

(57:23):
a kitty cat coffee cup so that she could have
coffee with Ziggy the kitty cat. Sheila has had a
has had a kitty cat for as long as I
can remember, and her her beautiful kitty cat passed away
about about a month and a half ago, and she
wound up with a ten year old beautiful kitty cat
named Ziggy. In fact, here's a picture of Ziggy. Hope

(57:45):
you hope you enjoy Ziggy, but hope she enjoys her
coffee cup. Maybe she can come to don't know. The
city's a little crazy at that time of the year.
But we're gonna have a lot of fun.
