So that's nice. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:22.920 That's very nice. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.679 But we always did nuclear family for Thanksgiving always, I think, 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.560 every year of my life, and then I know other 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.480 people who do, mostly because we didn't live around people. 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.360 But I've been to many people like girlfriends. I guess 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.720 you got the big twenty five people gathered together and 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.840 everything like that. That's just freaking awesome. If you do 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:39.520 that sort of thing. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.760 Oh yeah, it's festive. Yeah, I love it. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.280 I've done those, you know, each and all points in between, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.520 and yeah they're all nice in their own ways. Yeah, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.320 they all are. And h Hanson and I were talking 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:53.440 about this yesterday, just the if you go somewhere else 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.400 and you kind of arrive for the meal and everything 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.120 like that. We're just discussing the idea of kids not 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:05.200 seeing the everything that goes into the Thanksgiving meal and 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.120 sort of making the emphasis on this is a big deal. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.799 I mean, look how much work we put into this. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.520 Mom got up at five in the freaking morning to 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.160 get the turkey out of the freezer like my mom 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.080 always did, and you know, works all damn day long 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.560 a number of people usually, and getting that whole meal 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.800 together and everything like that. Although we were discussing as 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.640 a kid, it's just such a you know, because food 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.919 doesn't matter that much to you as a kid generally. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.680 Maybe the pieta is kind of but mostly not. I 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:36.240 remember Thanksgiving and I'm gladys do you work anymore? Jake? Sad? 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.880 That was sad. That was a quick, quick la. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.600 She's just cilar to me that this was a story 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.320 from your yesteryear at all. And she's trying to get 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.400 off the caffeine too. She told me, yesday she drinks 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.880 she drinks red Bulls all day long, and she's trying 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.000 to quit the caffeine. 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:52.600 And I said to her, you're too old. You're a 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:53.560 World War One veteran. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.280 You're too old to be pounding red bull. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.360 Plus all that prune juice to keep a regular. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.120 So, oh, yeah, my god, I remembered Henry was probably 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.320 five maybe. Anyway, We're sitting at the Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.320 had been building up and building up and building up, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.360 and then we sit there at the table and he said, 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.880 this is all that it is because he didn't really 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.200 know what it was. He just knew there was a 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.080 thing coming, Thanksgiving is coming. And then we sat down 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.440 to me and he's just like, he's like, this is 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.040 the whole thing? 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.040 Is this? I don't even care about this. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.680 A slightly different array of food here on the table. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.640 I uh that there's no presence. We're not going anywhere. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.760 There's nothing you'll misled, no. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.720 Kidding, well, you know, getting back to seeing the you know, 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.120 the preparations and stuff too. Things Number one, it sends 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.640 the lesson that, Hey, it takes work to get special things. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.320 And secondly, I think it sends a message about the 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.440 importance of coming together and giving thanks and that sort 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.000 of thing. If that is indeed part of your Thanksgiving. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.559 And if it's not, read the name of the freaking. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.280 Holiday again, Huh, you're sticking a thumb in a Lincoln's eye. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.280 He declared the holiday and this is a Lincoln creation. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.920 Uh yeah, yeah, he decreed a day of Thanksgiving that 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.800 evolved into something then got fixed on a date. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.080 The story's a. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.480 Little vague in my mind. Macy's and then Macy's had 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.760 an inflatable snoopy. It's a long story, right. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:16.240 Yeah. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.240 We always do the going around the things you give 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.680 thanks for. That's a huge part. It's really interesting to 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.680 watch that with your kids too, as a grown up. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.440 They tend to be the same every year. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:31.040 A little bit. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.400 Yeah, a lot of health and thank god I haven't 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.760 been afflicted with many of the terrible things that you 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.160 know people around me have been. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.920 Thank God Trump one will be a popular one. And Thanksgiving, wow, yeah, 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.280 you know what lead with that. That's great, especially if 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.920 it's a big family gather. I was just reading, so 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.200 I am not in the mood to talk about really 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.279 any of the news, though it's sort of contractually required. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.920 But I was listening to music my car and trying 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.960 to sing in the high harmony parts and just you know, 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.400 I have no pam BONDI whatever. I'll talk about it 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.680 next year. But I was just reading this piece of 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:15.080 the New York Times about, well, the headline is this 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:21.920 is Thanksgiving related the turkeys did nothing wrong? What the 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.440 turkeys have done nothing wrong? And it's centered around the 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.120 idea of how so many turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.760 and maybe we should eat something else, so you'd rather 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.359 slaughter a cow. I don't understand why unless we're not 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.560 gonna eat meat, you're just gonna slaughter a different animal. 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:37.520 So that's kind of weird. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.120 Yes, many more turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving than other days, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.200 but if we don't eat the turkey, we're preak gonna 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.360 eat you know, a cow or a lamb or something else. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.760 But anyway, they also centered around the presidential pardon of 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.000 the turkey, which we have mocked every single year of 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.839 our radio careers, and how what are you pardoning the 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.040 turkey for? The turkey has done nothing wrong? The turkey 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.360 can do nothing wrong. Number one, just when. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.600 You have thought they were is loopy and ridiculous as 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:06.760 they could possibly get. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.200 You come across that. I have two thoughts number one, 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.880 and they're both obvious. Number One, those turkeys would not 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.880 exist were it not for the fact that they would 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.720 be harvested to put be put on a plate. If 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.520 people ate ham exclusively, those turkeys would not be slaughtered 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.560 because they never would have been hatched. Secondly, deliciousness is 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:30.720 a crime, and the penalty is death. Sorry, the penalty 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.080 is gravy. That's just the way the world works. But 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.680 the turkey has done nothing wrong and can do nothing wrong. 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.640 The turkey is innocent. And I think they're writing that 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.039 with a straight face. I think they are. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.679 Wow. Okay, you all. I was thinking about this morning 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.600 for some reason. In the show. You all just keep 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.080 going with that stuff. Good luck with your future elections. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.680 Just keep going with that crazy crap of all different 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.640 sorts of stripes. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.600 Just keep pushing. That's so many good exams apples of that. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.799 Knock yourself out. I'm not even gonna try to argue 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.960 out of your positions. Just go ahead. No au contraire. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.000 Specifically, I was corresponding with a friend of Armstrong and 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.160 Getty and reading an article, and it would appear that 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.680 large swallows of the left are utterly unaware of what 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.120 just happened and why it happened. I mean, like completely 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.800 in denial, to which I say, deny away, friend. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.640 Yeah, no kidding, go ahead, keep thinking it was racism 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.480 because she was a woman. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:29.080 There's a reason. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.880 And then we on the other side will win a 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.760 lot for their age. Misspent the ad dollars slightly. Yes, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:35.200 that was it. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:40.040 You're right, you're right, nailed it. Let's start the show officially. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.080 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Friday, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.880 November twenty second, the year twenty twenty four.

Let's begin then, officially according to 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.080 FCC rules and regulations, leaping into action at mark. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:08:00.800 I am not suicidal. I am not suicidal, And I 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:01.120 could have. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.400 Said that I was guilty a long time ago. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.760 Not one of his better performances. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.880 In my mind, the great Jesse Smolette, or as Kid 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.520 Rock said, you're Jesse now. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.200 You know you gotta earn Jesse you're Jesse's you see Smolley, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.120 as Steve Chappelle would call him. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.000 We're gonna revisit, in fact, retry that case as as 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.400 a lot has happened in the last twenty four hours. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.760 And we've got some audio for you that maybe you 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.640 haven't heard or have heard, but it's good to hear 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.679 again of him describing is made up freaking crime of 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.720 the bodyblders who attacked him, explaining how they did it. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.839 The whole thing is just crazy. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.680 Yeah, well see Armstrong in getting court of justice will 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.400 be gabbled into session and justice will be swift and harsh. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.560 Some of these is just thinking we have to do 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.280 our Thanksgiving talk now kind of because we're off next week. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.880 One girlfriend I went to her house. She was a 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.120 German family and her like parents still spoke German. Her 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.880 grandparents almost exclusively German, as a lot of Germans South 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:07.400 Many Many. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:12.120 Germans, regular Old Germany Many Germans settled in uh in Kansas. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.560 Read the book The Worst Hard Times about the depression 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:16.960 into the dust dust Bowl for that. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:17.959 It's pretty interesting. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.800 But anyway, they had at Thanksgiving, and man was she 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.640 a good cook. They were all just amazing cooks. And 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.880 they called things by names I couldn't pronounce. But they 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.800 put a pig's head on the table, like an entire 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.760 pig's head, Like it looked like a pig's head. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:31.400 It wasn't there. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.000 They didn't have to tell you it was a pig's head. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.600 It was clearly a pig's head when they set it 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.800 on the table, is looking right at you, unmistakable, And 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.120 then it was. And then it was had been cooked 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.080 and boiled in or whatever in such way that then 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.160 the you just with a fork, you just kind of 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:50.640 meat just fell right off the face. It was a 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.200 little too farmed a fork for me, you know, I 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.400 like a layer between the farm to fork, just like 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.360 one layer of grocery store plastic around it or something. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.439 It's like you're in the pen with a gun and 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:03.960 a cleaver. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.720 I mean, like you practically still hair oinking. It was 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:09.960 a little too close for me. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:11.600 You know, I can handle. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.400 I can handle a fish looking back at me. Oh, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.800 it's a fish. It's got the mind of a fish. Sure, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.400 I got porky staring me in the eyes. I'm thinking 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.040 you're you're accusing me of and I'm guilty. I've murdered 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.680 that was rough. It was good, but I found it 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.600 hard to get down. I didn't say anything, of course, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.600 because I'm blanked. How does mailbag look? 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.880 What's good? Plus we have clips of the week. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.400 Right, and we will get into some of the news 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.440 of the day. And the Gates story went away fast 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:41.840 soon as they named somebody k new huh. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:42.800 That's a good way to do it. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.600 If you got somebody who steps down in controversy or whatever, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.760 name with new person and everybody's onto the Hey, who's 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:48.440 this new person? 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.200 So fast? A lot of reasons. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.000 Nobody wants to talk about Gates and his nomination and 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:53.560 the rest of it. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.560 Let's just move on. Yeah, uh. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.880 Oh, scary announcement out of South Korea about North Korea 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.640 and what's going on there. So a whole bunch of 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.880 different stuff for you. Our text line is four one, five, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.560 two nine five KFTC. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.000 I'm reading that. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.800 Entire essay in the New York Times about pardoning turkeys. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:16.959 How it got started, and. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.760 Then this person is horrified about the idea of suggesting 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.200 the turkey is committed a crime. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.360 I'll have to get into that later. It's hilarious, is 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.880 it tongue in cheek? No? No, no, no, no, no, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:30.200 no no. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.280 These are people that have stopped eating turkey at their 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.640 at their tables because of the way turkeys are treated. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.319 Okay, that I get. But the whole Pardons thing, it's 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.600 it's an idiotic little thing for kids. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.120 I didn't realize how it started. It's pretty interesting. So 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.880 stick around. Okay, if I must, then I must. I've 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.079 read the contract, all right. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.520 We have mailback coming uh mailback coming up. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.240 Freedom loving quote of the day. But first, let's take 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.240 a fun look back at the week. It was. It's 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:06.480 cow clips of the week. Which of the week. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.480 It's increasingly clear it is Donald Trump's world and we're 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.400 just living in it. Joe and I went to mar 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.880 A Lago to meet personally with President like Trump, Why 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.760 wouldn't we He's killing us. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.640 We cooked a crap here. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.720 I am very fastly picking the most epic cabinet of 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:30.240 all time. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.520 What are you thinking about? Well, we've got Elon and 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:40.240 Matt Gates. That's an alien versus predator. Gates listened to 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.840 what the senators had to say. Great day momentum for 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.400 the Trump vance administration. I prefer to call it fun 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.840 fueled camaraderie. You have this stunning reversally, it. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.960 Is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a destruction. 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.600 I mean, frankly, it's been a wink of escalations. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.480 Firing the first American made long range missiles into Russia, but. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.320 That could now trigger a nuclear response. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.840 Ukraine and listening saying is an ICBM striker. 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.360 This trial is seen as the most significant sign of 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.600 Beijing tightening its control of Hong Kong Yea. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.840 The great thing about this age you don't learn by 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:20.480 your mistakes. 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:26.280 You just keep doing the same stupid things. Everything's cutting up, milhouse. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.880 Is there anything do they like? Shelax the banana? Praise? 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.200 Shellac in the banana is not something we need at all, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.720 not during the holiday season. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.439 It's always nobody counts here, but nobody wod the president. 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.520 Yes, oh my god, we need chester. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.920 And then he hit them with a right along tyson 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:51.800 coming forward. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:57.000 But all it's landing the cleaner effective punchet there. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:05.320 Guys, how are you kidding me? 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.040 That reminds me that piece of art the banana taped 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.480 to the wall that sold for one point six million dollars. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.760 My son said, this would have been a good bit too. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.120 Mister beast should have purchased it then just eaten it, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.760 just torted off the wall and eating it. That'd a 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.280 been a very mister beast thing to do. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.760 Well again, my question is, given the legendarily short shelf 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.240 life of the humble banana, do you like constantly get 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.240 new bananas like it's a subscription or do you just 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.520 have the same rotten banana that rots away to a 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:39.960 little black piece of shoe leather. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.440 Decent point that piece of art only looks like the 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.800 picture for like two days, right, and you'd you'd be 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:48.880 very disappointed. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.320 Here's your freedom well up in Quota today, sent along 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.720 by Alert listener Corey from Yuval Noah Harari in his 0:14:54.760 --> 0:15:00.120 book Homodeis quote in the twenty first century, we will 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.920 create more powerful fictions and more totalitarian religions than in 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.760 any previous era. Being able to distinguish fiction from reality 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.080 and religion from science will therefore become more difficult, more 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.440 vital than ever before. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:13.240 Yeah. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.640 That's his follow up book to Homo Sapiens, which I'm 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:20.440 reading currently.

You totally called it. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.160 Like yesterday, you said Gates would be fired and replaced 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.600 by a hot chick. It wasn't months, it was mere hours. 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:59.000 That's right, Pambondie, former Age of Florida, holy cow, not 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.880 only a great lawyer, but an agg. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.720 Gilf an age. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.760 I would love to friend tell you what I would 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.200 give her, a corpus, a rid of habeas all night long. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.480 I hadn't sentence you to ecstasy.

He probably Gates 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.720 was probably his only real chance, considering their shared interest. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:45.520 Sean nice job, Sean and uh oh. The other big topic, dude, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.600 az tech death whistle is the name of my Latin 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:55.960 beat metal death Jethrow Cullover Jethrow tull cover band.

Really they're working overtime and mandatory six 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.560 day weeks, and the FAA says it's been scrambling to 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.679 hire more controllers. The FAA says the number of flights 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.639 will peak on Tuesday, that is when fifty thousand flights 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.600 will be handled by controllers nationwide. FAA Chief Mike Whittaker says, 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.200 do not be surprised if the FAA slows the pace 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.720 of flights. Simply put, that means delays. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.760 Oh they're going to purpose flee slow the pace of 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:56.760 flights on Tuesday. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:58.879 I'm flying on Tuesday. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.480 So did we all decide a couple of years ago 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.200 or something that I know I'll beat the system.

Now, maybe I should 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:12.600 change my flight to Wednesday. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.040 Maybe it's because of all the delays and cancelations in 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:17.920 recent You just give your fake I want to get 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.080 to Granny's house by Thursday. 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.600 So I gotta leave Tuesday.
