1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: The tech CEO in America, has been outed as having

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: an affair at a Coldplay concert. He and his HR

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: director were at Coldplay's show in Boston together, and you

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: know the kiss cams in America, one of those came up.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: They immediately break apart when they're on camera, tried to

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: get out of the camera's view as quickly as possible.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: But Chris Martin, who fronts Coldplay, commented on their suspicious

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: behavior live, So internet slews get to the bottom of it,

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: work out who he is, workout who she is. And yes,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: apparently they were having an affair. Rule number one of affairs,

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: of course, don't do it in public. That's what motel

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: rooms are. Four twenty two to five, Dan, Good afternoon.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: Now my favorite. That is my favorite story of the day.

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: If they had just looked normal and had not ducked

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: the camera, nobody would be paying attention to them. Because

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: they did that, they've gone viral. Yeah.

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: It's just just embarrassing, isn't it. And then you feel

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: terrible for the families too. Anyway, Trump has asked for

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: some Epstein documents to be released. This is after the

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal ran quite an explosive report about a

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: birthday card that he sent to Epstein.

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: He did a collection of letters I guess for Epstein's

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday that was back in two thousand and three

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: or so, and it had a note from Trump with

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: an outline of a naked woman and it was inscribed

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: on there. And then Trump said in an interview with

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: a journal that act he never wrote the letter or

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: drew the picture, and he threatened as soon the newspaper

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: if it published his story, Well guess what they did.

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: So in response to that story, Trump just a short

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: time ago posted on truth Social that he's ordered the

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: Attorney General to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony,

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: penning court approval for this. I think he just wants

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: to try and get out in front of this, even

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: though he has been trying to divert attention from it. Now.

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump also well Caroline live at his presecretary was

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: fronting the priest today and talked about his health, some

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: of his age related health issues. Nothing Maja, but swollen ankles.

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's there's been a lot of I guess,

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: you know, concern or interest in marks on his hand

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: and then his ankles that have just swollen up to

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: and these pictures have been making the rounds on social

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: media about his legs and maybe look very swollen. The

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: White House says this is a common condition in people

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: over the age of seventy. He had this checked out.

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: There was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: And the problem is that the doctors are saying that

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: this is kind of normal for people who are overweight

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: or in the obese category, which is where the President

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: has been for some time. He says he's not when

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: his you know, health checks come out, he says he's

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: in great shape. But there's bigger concerns that these these

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: you know conditions, this condition could lead to things like

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: sleep apnea or may trigger a heart condition. So I

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: think that's why there's been so much interest in the

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: press about this.

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just finding Stephen Colbert's late night show getting

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: in the X, I was surprised to learn that there

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: are two hundred staff working on that show. That's that's

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: got to be expensive.

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: Well, it is, and linear TV is and I know

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: we've been seeing this for a long time, but linear

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: TV is dying a very slow death. So there have

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: been cutbacks to late night TV. Here, the Tonight Show

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: just takes four nights a week. Other late night shows

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: have gotten rid of their bands, their live bands, and

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: CBS says, you know what, we're not going to replace anybody.

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: After the Late Late Show ended with James Cordon and

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: now they're cutting the Late Show. It'll be over in May.

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: They're saying that has nothing to do with their ratings.

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: It is just down to the bottom line. And the

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: problem is the shows themselves aren't being watched in their

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: entirety anymore. It's more like clips, you know, TikTok videos

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: that generate the hits in the views, like James Cordon

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: did with carpool Karaoke. And so I think this is

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: kind of what we're seeing, you know, late night and

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: even some early morning shows are just having to go

78
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: away as these networks are just burdened with these these

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: mass of staffs and budgets.

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the old it's the old beasts that you've

81
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: got to feed and the cost of transmitting to Dan

82
