1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Hey, Marc Simone here it is the special bonus segment 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners out there. Lots going on this week, 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: so you know the Epstein case is. There's gonna be 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: Congressional hearings on the whole Epstein matter, and they want 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: the Clintons to testify. The Clintons refused to testify, which 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: put them in contempt of Congress possible criminal charges. The 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: committee was about to vote whether to turn it over 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: to the Justice Department and have them prosecuted, and it 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: looked like that was going to easily get voted in, 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: not just by the Republicans, but a lot of Democrats 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: were going to vote against the Clintons because a lot 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: of today's Democrats, many of them don't know who the 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: all the Clintons are, and a lot of them have 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: no regard for the Clintons anymore. They're like old dinosaurs 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: from another era. So they're going to have to testify. 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: The Clintons caved in. They could see they were going 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: to get prosecuted, so they caved and agreed they'll testify. 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: Now the arrangement was going to be behind closed doors. 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: Maybe later some video might be released, but they'll testify 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: behind closed doors. Well, now the latest development, Hillary Clinton 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: is demanding demanding a public congressional hearing about her and 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: her husband Bill's relationship with the deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Epstein and Glaine Maxwell. Now comer Hillary said some about 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: they're always moving the goal post, and Comber, the committee chairman, 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: now said, well, you guys are moving the goal post. 26 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: But I don't know why demanding public Well, I do 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: know why, Hunter Biden did the same thing. I guess 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: the reason is that way everybody sees every second. If 29 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: it's behind closed doors, they could just leak out what 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: they want to leak out, so she wants it in public. 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Also another reason, remember, Hillary Clinton has nothing to do 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: all day. She's unemployed, like the old lady in Sunset Boulevard, 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: sitting in that house up in Chappaquaile getting drunk all day. 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: He's got nothing to do. So this will give her 35 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: a chance to actually put on some makeup, get out 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: of the house, and terrorize the nation again with her nonsense. 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: But you'll see those hearings pretty soon. Don't expect much 38 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: to come out of it. Republicans aren't good at the 39 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: at these hearings. You watched Scott Bessett testify this week. 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: Democrats tearing into him like pitbulls, just fighting the death 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: with screaming at him. Republicans don't know how to do that. 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: They're too quiet, too gentlemanly. It's never never as exciting. Hey, yeah, 43 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: that Milania movie upset every left wing Democrat. They're fuming 44 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: because they had been writing articles about how there's no 45 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: ticket sales. It's gonna bomb, it's not gonna do well. 46 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: So the milanim Millennia movie opens, has a big opening weekend, 47 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: does eight million the first weekend, which is unbelievable as 48 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: a record breaking for a documentary. It goes on to 49 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: do like a twelve million for the rest. It's huge. 50 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: It's a big hit. In fact, when you look at 51 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: the box office numbers, it's like number three in the country. 52 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: It's the number three top grossing movie in America. It's 53 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: ahead of Marty Supreme, It's ahead of all these big movies. 54 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: It's doing very well. So what do democrats do well now? 55 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: They start making up conspiracy theories. Jimmy Kimmel launched it 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Thursday night, Kimmel yelling and screaming that this is a 57 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: conspiracy that it's been rigged. He said, there's no way 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: it could sell eight million dollars worth of tickets last weekend. 59 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: Every theater seemed to be empty. How could it sell 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: that much. Well, apparently it wasn't because these these are 61 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: actual heart. This is just simple math. These are hard numbers. 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: So Kimmel making up all this nonsense so as to 63 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: say there were blocks of tickets being purchased and distributed 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: to Republican activists and senior citizen homes, which are really 65 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: the same thing. Well, none of this is true. And again, 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, whenever President Trump says anything, they always say 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: he said without evidence, without evidence. Well, talk about without evidence. 68 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Here's Kimmel with no evidence at all. Kimmel then said, hey, 69 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, don't forget. In twenty nineteen, 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: the RNC bought one hundred thousand dollars worth of Don 71 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: Junior's books to put in swag bags just to make 72 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: it a New York Times bestseller. Well, there is some 73 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: truth to that, but that's done all the time for 74 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: lots of books. Every time there's a swag bag, it 75 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: has a lot of stuff in it. When you go 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: to a big gallo, when you go to the RNC convention, 77 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: you go to a lot of things. There's a swag 78 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: bag and it has ten twelve things in the bag. 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: One of them's always a book. And to do that, 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: they got to go out and purchase two thousand books 81 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: for the crowd in the ballroom. And of it's the 82 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: RNC Republican convention, Well that might be ten thousand peoples. 83 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: You got to purchase ten thousand books at ten dollars apiece, 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: and that's one hundred thousand dollars. But it's done all 85 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: the time. That's not unusual. And then Kimmel went on 86 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: to that this is the main thing the Democrats always do. 87 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: It's a bribe. Amazon is bribing. They're bribing the first 88 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: family with the forty million. It's a bribe. Well, it 89 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: happens to every first lady. In fact, remember when Michelle 90 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: Obama got eighty million from Netflix. Eighty million. Remember she 91 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: got like sixty million as an advance on a book. 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: The normal advance is ten million. She got sixty. So 93 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama has if those are bribes, she's taken about 94 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: maybe maybe fifty million in bribe. No more than that, 95 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: it'd be more like five hundred million in bribes already 96 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: if you total it all up. They remember the Obamas, 97 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: who didn't have a dime when they left office, are 98 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: suddenly billionaires. All kinds of deals came in. They've got 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: multiple mansions, you know, they own like twelve massive mansions 100 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: all over the country. Never heard a word about that. 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Nobody called that a bribe. Hey, if you're a liberal, 102 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: a Democrat, I don't want to upset you. You might want 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: to tune away for a little while. But Fox News, 104 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel, the Fox Business Network, two great 105 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: channels combined. They have beat Fox News, beats Wall Street 106 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: expectations and sets an all time record for revenue. Now, 107 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: you've got to remember all these cable networks MS, now, CNN, 108 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: they don't do very well in their ratings, not much 109 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: at all. But revenue is the big deal. And revenue 110 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: is not just advertising. In fact, when it comes to 111 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: cable news advertising sales, that's very little of the revenue. 112 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: It's a tiny part of the revenue. The big revenue 113 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: is from the cable companies paying for the channel what 114 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: they call cable subscriptions. So that's where all the money is. 115 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: You know, like if it's let's say a network makes 116 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: a cable news network makes four billion, well probably four 117 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: hundred million is AD sales and the three and a 118 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: half billion is cable subscription revenue. That's where all the 119 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: money is. But Fox set an all time record. Now 120 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: in the last year it made five point two billion 121 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: in revenue. Five point two billion. That's the biggest ever 122 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: for a cable network. Two percent year over year increase 123 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: AD revenue it was up one percent. Cable advertising up 124 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: seven percent. Lachlan Murdoch, the CEO, said, advertising market for 125 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: Fox News has been amazingly robust. They've added two hundred 126 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: new advertisers and you got to remember that's on top 127 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: of three hundred and fifty new advertisers from the year before. 128 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Demand for the product audience incredibly strong. Now CNN miserable ratings, 129 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: a lot less revenue. MS now very little revenue and 130 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: very very low ratings. It's been no longer part of NBC. 131 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Remember NBC threw it out of the company and then 132 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: tossed them out of the building, made them leave the building. 133 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: They're now in a dumpy studio, a near Times Square 134 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: MS now they no longer have the resources of NBC News. 135 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Remember the old days of the MSNBC now to our 136 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: London correspondent, and they go to the big NBC news 137 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: reported there. They don't have NBC News anymore to go to, 138 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: so when they go to somebody, it's some stringer, some 139 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: blogger in London that they use as to correspondent. Now 140 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, you know these protesters, the pink haired women 141 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: with the nose rings, those fat women with the blue hair, 142 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, fighting with the ice officers the past week 143 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: they were setting up roadblocks, roadblocks and stopping Ice vehicles 144 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: and asking for their papers or this is the protesters. 145 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: The protesters set up actual roadblocks and checkpoints in Minneapolis, 146 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: saying they were protecting their community. The Homan just pointed out, 147 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: this is totally illegal a roadblock. You can be arrested 148 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: and taken right to jail for roadblock. He called the 149 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: chief of police. The police got right out there and 150 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: disbanded them and got rid of these people before home 151 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: and in company arrested them. So hey, you know the 152 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: race in California for governor, they had their first debate 153 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: this week and they really went after Gambon and Gavin Newsom. 154 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: It was six Democrats and a lone Republican Fox News 155 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: host former Fox News host Steve Hilton. It was in 156 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: San Francisco, but they all went after Democrats and Republicans. 157 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: They all went after Gavin Newsom. That's the problem he's 158 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: going to happen if he ever tries to run for 159 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: president for real, they will tear him apart on his 160 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: record there. He'll never, ever, ever, ever overcome that horrible record. Hey, 161 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: we all love the Brady Bunch. You know, that's an 162 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: actual house that you see on The Brady Bunch. You 163 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: see the shot of their house. It's an actual house 164 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles in the LA area. Well, it's been 165 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: sold a few through the years. It's had different owners. 166 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: So the current owner and it cost him a lot 167 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: of money. The current owner decided since they own the house. 168 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, the outside of the house is what you 169 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: saw on the TV show. The inside those were all sets, 170 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: but the current owners spent a fortune and rebuilt the 171 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: entire inside of the house to look exactly like the 172 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: Brady Bunch sets. So now when you walk in the house, 173 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: it really is that same Brady Bunch living room with 174 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: the stairs that pink red orange, or Brady Bunch kitchen. 175 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: It cost him about three and a half million to 176 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: do this, and they did it with the HGTV. So 177 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: now the house is actually the full house. People used 178 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: to go buy just to photograph the outside pose in 179 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: front of it, but now you can go in and 180 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: actually be in the real Brady Bunch house. It's the 181 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: same kitchen, the same bedrooms, the same living room, the 182 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: whole thing. You can stand on that staircase like you 183 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: did in the opening. And apparently they're doing very well. 184 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: People are lining up forever to come in and see 185 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: this and take a picture.

Hey, the Metropolitan Opera. 203 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: It sounds great, right, the Metropolitan Opera over there in 204 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: Lincoln Center. It's very prestigious. However, they're going broke. They 205 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: can't seem to make a living over there. They're always struggling, 206 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, the opera. It sounds very prestigious, the Metropolitan Opera. 207 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: But you'll notice they're always having a benefit to save 208 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: the opera. There's always a you know, you have to 209 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: have a subscription. Then there's another benefit, another benefit, just 210 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: to keep it alive. The whole opera season is like 211 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: twelve weeks and they're still going broke. You know, there's 212 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: no benefit to save Lady Gaga's tour, but the opera 213 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: you need it. Well. Now, apparently they're broker than ever 214 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: because even in the old days, they have twenty benefits 215 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: just to keep it going. But now younger generations are 216 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: just not interested in the opera, so the attendance is way, way, 217 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: way down. They're going to lay off about two hundred 218 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: people at the Metropolitan Opera. And if you look at 219 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: these numbers, a lot of them make a lot of money. 220 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Look at this guy, these executives one point four million, 221 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: music director two million, cutting salaries, laying off a lot 222 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: of people. They got, you know, in the lobby of 223 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: the mid from an opera. So they've got these Mark 224 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: Schagal murals that are worth about sixty million dollars. Well, 225 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: apparently they want to sell those. Apparently the deal is 226 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: you have to leave them there, but you can own them. 227 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: They're also trying to make a deal with the Saudis 228 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar deal with the Saudis to save 229 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: the opera, trying to keep it alive. Look at the now, 230 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: wonder they're going broke. Look at this three thousand employees, 231 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: three thousand employees. Who eats that many employees? You know, 232 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: a Broadway theater it gets by with a couple of hundred. 233 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: But desperate to save the opera, they cannot figure out 234 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: a way to get younger people to go and I 235 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: don't think that's ever gonna happen.
