Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow.
Speaker 2: Hey, everyone, welcome to The Daily Show Ears edition. This
Speaker 2: is Kat Radley, writer for The Daily Show. I'm here
Speaker 2: with actor, activist and Daily Show contributor John Liguizamo, contributor.
Speaker 1: That's oh, that's a high praise. I don't deserve that.
Speaker 3: You've gotten a promotion. You're a contributor.
Speaker 1: Now, where's my salary? Bump? Though I didn't get that.
Speaker 3: Oh I stole it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. That's good. I'm glad you got it
Speaker 1: better than somebody else.
Speaker 2: John, it's so exciting to have you back. You're back
Speaker 2: at The Daily Show for a segment about how pivotal
Speaker 2: Latino voters are in this election.
Speaker 1: It looks like the Democrats are in trouble and you
Speaker 1: might be thinking, how is this possible? Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: winning Latino's Bill the Wall, Donald Trump, mass deportations, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player? Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: It's exciting to be a writer on this piece.
Speaker 2: And can you break it down for our listeners, Like,
Speaker 2: what was this segment about?
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, it's about a call to action for Biden,
Speaker 1: a call to action to Julie Javis Rodriguez, his campaign manager.
Speaker 1: It's a call to action for Latinos and everybody listening
Speaker 1: that we are the largest voting block after white people.
Speaker 1: Thirty six million Latinos are going to vote and we're
Speaker 1: going to decide who's going to be president. And it's
Speaker 1: tricky now because we only care about that. We don't
Speaker 1: care about immigration. Unfortunately I thought we did, but we
Speaker 1: don't give it. We don't give a flying f about immigration.
Speaker 1: We care about our businesses. We care about moving our business,
Speaker 1: about getting bank loans, about getting taxes cut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, paying for groceries and gas. And that's what this
Speaker 2: piece is focusing on. And as writers we hear you're coming,
Speaker 2: we get very excited and we kind of want to
Speaker 2: pitch some ideas, like how important Latinos are.
Speaker 3: They're the biggest voting block.
Speaker 1: We are the fastest growing population in America. That's right,
Speaker 1: fastest growing. You know what that means? We be And
Speaker 1: the thing is that white people are shrinking too, And
Speaker 1: then you see white white fragility is such a thing.
Speaker 3: I'm totally fine with it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking at you, like blaming you or looking
Speaker 1: at you try to know.
Speaker 3: I think there should be much fewer white people.
Speaker 1: No, no, you don't. I mean we can all live together.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the one thing, the beautiful thing about
Speaker 1: Latin people. We love everybody. We'll have sex with everyone.
Speaker 1: We don't. We love everybody. We love having sex with everyone.
Speaker 1: We love Black, Asian, Jewish, white, you name it.
Speaker 3: And that's what this podcast says really about. Who are
Speaker 3: the Latino voters also going to have sex?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what are our tender possibilities?
Speaker 3: Would they rather fuck Trump or Biden in this election?
Speaker 3: Is the question?
Speaker 2: So, getting back to the piece, though, they're the real things. Like, so,
Speaker 2: since the Latino voters, they do have the power to
Speaker 2: really switch this election whichever.
Speaker 3: Way they want.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that this piece covers is
Speaker 2: that they are losing ground with Biden and gaining ground
Speaker 2: with Trump, even though Biden's the one who's trying harder.
Speaker 2: What is it that you think the Democrats are doing
Speaker 2: wrong in their messaging? Why are they losing Latino voters
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: Because they take us for granted? Man, I mean, Trump
Speaker 1: already knew in twenty twenty, and that's why he was
Speaker 1: able to get Florida. Republicans are working hard. They were
Speaker 1: coming at us in What's app with ads. They were
Speaker 1: coming at us in our Spanish language radio stations with
Speaker 1: all kinds of trigger words like socialism that triggers Cubans,
Speaker 1: Venezuelans and Colombians now because the influx of immigrants from
Speaker 1: Venezuela escaping Maduro maybe getting thick into the Latin politics.
Speaker 1: But that's what we're here for. And they came at
Speaker 1: us with ads, they talked our talk. Biden assumed in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the Democrats assumed that we were Democrats just
Speaker 1: because we were Latino. But no, you have to come
Speaker 1: for us, you have to work for us, you have
Speaker 1: to knock on our doors, you have to call us,
Speaker 1: you have to talk about the words that trigger us
Speaker 1: into voting for you. And there were so many Latin organizations,
Speaker 1: grassroots that got zero help in Arizona and Texas. Zero helped.
Speaker 1: These Latinas were doing it by themselves, and they gave
Speaker 1: us Arizona and they almost purpleized Texas, but they didn't
Speaker 1: have any funds. And that's where the mistake is. Put
Speaker 1: that money in these grassroots organizations that are working their
Speaker 1: ass off to flip these red states which are ridiculous
Speaker 1: that they're read. I mean, Arizona is thirty percent Latino
Speaker 1: texts this is the majority is Latino forty Latino twelve percent.
Speaker 1: Black white people are minority in Texas.
Speaker 2: The fact that Texas hasn't gone blue yet is such
Speaker 2: a failure I think on the Democratic Party's part, because
Speaker 2: we could have totally made that blue.
Speaker 1: It's a hard one though, because they have Jerry Mander
Speaker 1: did too. Yeah a motherfucking inch. I mean now that
Speaker 1: they got Ai that she's gonna be even crazier. They
Speaker 1: have so many blocks over there, so many tricks up
Speaker 1: their sleeve.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just making it so much harder to vote.
Speaker 2: And it's been proven, like you said, with the grassroots
Speaker 2: organizations that that is where the real difference matters.
Speaker 3: When you get the people registered.
Speaker 2: To vote in those communities, yep, and increase the voter
Speaker 2: block even by a few numbers, we realize it does
Speaker 2: make a big difference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one thing I never knew about politics
Speaker 1: in voting was it's just a few numbers. I mean
Speaker 1: sometimes it's one person voting that makes a difference. It's incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it makes you realize how important your vote is
Speaker 1: so the apathy you know, like Latinos have apathy too,
Speaker 1: They have apathy, you know, they feel like I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been traveling around with my show MSNBC show like
Speaker 1: It Does America, and I can't name the cities, but
Speaker 1: people are living in hard places that get no funding,
Speaker 1: that get no uh, the schools are defunded, hospitals going
Speaker 1: away because they're trying to gentrify an urban renewal basically,
Speaker 1: you know, kill these cities where Latin people are living.
Speaker 1: So they understandably they're upset and angry and have apathy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Biden's a president now, so it's natural to think, well,
Speaker 2: one to blame.
Speaker 1: And people have short term memories too. They don't realize
Speaker 1: that Trump handled COVID so badly that that's why we
Speaker 1: had such huge inflationary problems and have all these economic problems.
Speaker 1: But Biden is fixing it and helping it.
Speaker 3: But you know, but they're not good at getting that
Speaker 3: message across.
Speaker 1: No, definitely, never. Never. We weren't good at it with
Speaker 1: Obama either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in terms we're talking about like reaching them
Speaker 2: in their language, in Spanish, and now they're even putting
Speaker 2: money into like Spanglish.
Speaker 1: Loves fish, I mean Staglish it only gets to makes
Speaker 1: you laugh. Yeah, I mean it's not really, it's it's
Speaker 1: Latinos who like to goofy. Yeah, it's not a thing.
Speaker 3: That's fine. That's one thing that we didn't put into
Speaker 3: the piece.
Speaker 2: But there was a lot of material on Biden getting
Speaker 2: what they called like a Spanish and Spanglish war room.
Speaker 2: We're like, it would be so funny if we could
Speaker 2: do a sketch to put John like in the Spanish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we did Spanglish in our piece basically. I mean,
Speaker 1: all Latinos now are trying to do Spanglish, which is
Speaker 1: just a mixture. It's not like, uh, we're not using
Speaker 1: made up Spanglish words where that's really Spanglish to me,
Speaker 1: it's made up words like when I grew up, I
Speaker 1: was saying, which is locked the door? But it's an
Speaker 1: English word that doesn't exist. Caro parked the car wacha
Speaker 1: look out. We just words that we make up and
Speaker 1: make Spanish eye that's the real Spangish. But now Spanglish
Speaker 1: just means you flip between both languages really easy.
Speaker 3: It's like the brunch of languages, isn't.
Speaker 1: There it's lunch and breakfast smashed together and it's yummy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's putting that in brunch terms, so the white
Speaker 2: people would understand better.
Speaker 1: And the hungry folk out there foodies.
Speaker 2: The last time you were here, you had a piece
Speaker 2: about Univision. I was very fortunate I got to write
Speaker 2: on that pieces.
Speaker 1: But oh, that great job.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. I'm just put a little humble brag
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 2: But writing when you do come, all the writers, we
Speaker 2: are all anxious to write for you because you are
Speaker 2: so fun to write for because you as an actor,
Speaker 2: you know, you're really good at the characters and the
Speaker 2: voice acting, so we can have a lot of fun
Speaker 2: playing with the different characters in the pieces. And with Univision,
Speaker 2: we were looking at like the Trump interview and how
Speaker 2: they gave him the softball questions Udi visa, you own.
Speaker 4: Face, and growing backlash after giving Donald Trump the royal treatment.
Speaker 4: Last week, the network hosted a very friendly, our long
Speaker 4: exclusive interview with Trump that his son in law Jared Kushner,
Speaker 4: helped arrange.
Speaker 1: I'd mother meal. I don't know what's more shocking that
Speaker 1: Univision gave Trump a softball interview or that Trump led
Speaker 1: a Latin guy into his house. How did that happen?
Speaker 1: That piece that we did was vital because I got
Speaker 1: a call from Univision and they're they're marketing expert who
Speaker 1: tried to talk me down and I was like, nah, Obra,
Speaker 1: you softballed him on purpose, and you need to fix
Speaker 1: this because I've heard from a lot of newscasters that
Speaker 1: you're swinging right and on purpose and it's not okay.
Speaker 1: You need to be neutral. And you go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. You need to come down
Speaker 1: and meet with us. We love to because we really
Speaker 1: want to do the right thing, but it was bs
Speaker 1: because they have been swinging right and it's not okay
Speaker 1: to pick a side like that. You just got to
Speaker 1: be new to your news station. Yeah, they're swinging for them,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just as a journalist, whether it's a Spanish speaking
Speaker 2: organization or not. Like, as a journalist, you're supposed to
Speaker 2: be impartial, right, which.
Speaker 1: Fox News obviously is not impartial.
Speaker 2: I mean you know that, Yeah, I mean yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean there's American media, like on the left and right
Speaker 2: that is swinging both ways.
Speaker 1: At least we're at least MSNBC swinging with the facts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: They're still swinging left. But I hate calling it left
Speaker 1: because we don't have a real left in America. I'm
Speaker 1: from Latin America. We have a real left. The real
Speaker 1: left wants to destroy the government. You don't have We
Speaker 1: don't have that in America. We have a left of
Speaker 1: center left, but we have a real right in this country.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's what's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They dig in.
Speaker 2: They dig in so hard on the right, and they're
Speaker 2: really good at actually pulling like the social issues and
Speaker 2: making them like kind of take place in real life,
Speaker 2: in tangible legislation and things like that that are actually
Speaker 2: affecting people.
Speaker 1: How do they do that?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I wish we could figure out how to do it
Speaker 3: the other way, I.
Speaker 1: Know, because we don't. We can't pull them a little left,
Speaker 1: a little you know. Uh. They the vouchers are hitting
Speaker 1: everybody was believing that vouchers are great, which will destroy
Speaker 1: public school education for everyone, so only the best students
Speaker 1: will get an education. Everybody else will have to fall
Speaker 1: through the cracks.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up education because that's another thing
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to you about really well, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I think.
Speaker 1: Because that's my that's my passion, you know, is education.
Speaker 1: It's everything.
Speaker 2: Actually I used to be a high school English teacher
Speaker 2: before I was a writer at The Daily Show while
Speaker 2: I was doing comedy.
Speaker 3: But that's we can get into that later.
Speaker 2: But one thing that like one piece of legislation I
Speaker 2: think on the right they are so good at, is
Speaker 2: getting like the anti CRT and the anti DEI legislation through.
Speaker 2: And it's interesting the past few years that looking at
Speaker 2: how whitewashed American education and curriculum is, people are finally
Speaker 2: kind of talking about it. But it's something that you've
Speaker 2: noticed a long time ago. And your show Latin History
Speaker 2: for Morons, you even tried to like essentially fill that
Speaker 2: whole yourself, fill that gap.
Speaker 1: And it's for myself, for my children, for other people's children,
Speaker 1: for other people. Yeah, it's crazy. You grew up in
Speaker 1: America and you only learn about I mean, I hate
Speaker 1: to say white history, but it is like kind of
Speaker 1: like white people's history of America but denies everything that
Speaker 1: was there before. Like you barely touch upon the genocide
Speaker 1: of all the Native American people that stolen land. The
Speaker 1: treaties broken forever they invaded them and took it from them.
Speaker 1: I mean they don't even mention that. They don't mention
Speaker 1: you know, of course, all No, we discovered it, right, right?
Speaker 1: How do you discover something and settled something that was
Speaker 1: already discovered and settled by another people. That's what's incredible.
Speaker 1: How you can whitewash that and change it and make
Speaker 1: the other people who were living there the villains. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what Westerns flip me out. It's like, wait, you
Speaker 1: made the people who are living here, the people who
Speaker 1: were genocided and attacked and murdered and slaughtered, you made
Speaker 1: them the villains. That's incredible writing and genius marketing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those people grew up.
Speaker 2: Their descendants became the right wing media people who were
Speaker 2: so effective in getting that messaging right.
Speaker 1: That messaging is so easy to get. I don't know
Speaker 1: how that's it's so much easier than I guess showing
Speaker 1: sympathy and empathy for others.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is sad.
Speaker 1: You'd think that should be easier, right, But don't you
Speaker 1: think Americans do want decency? Though? I really feel like
Speaker 1: traveling around America and I travel a lot, people do
Speaker 1: want decency, They want decent people, they want respect, they
Speaker 1: want everybody to re respect it. I think that's that's
Speaker 1: why I love America because I know that's deep in
Speaker 1: our DNA in America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, And it's it's sad for the
Speaker 2: people who maybe do get the misinformation or they're only
Speaker 2: hearing messaging that isn't actually reflective of reality or electing
Speaker 2: the people who really would do the things that would
Speaker 2: make their life better. You are a voice for the
Speaker 2: Latino community and one of the voices. Yeah, yeah, one
Speaker 2: of the many voices. But you've been vocal about, you know,
Speaker 2: increasing representation and equity for Latinos in Hollywood especially.
Speaker 3: But across the board.
Speaker 2: And it was something you got to cover during your
Speaker 2: guest week host here, which was always which is also
Speaker 2: very fun with like the various sketches and jokes we
Speaker 2: did for that. In terms of how you started out
Speaker 2: as like an actor and a comedian, was there a
Speaker 2: certain time where that shift kinda happened where you started
Speaker 2: to take on the role of activist and advocate as
Speaker 2: well for the Latino community. Was there like a certain
Speaker 2: moment were you or was it kind.
Speaker 1: Of a yeah, I mean I was always always socially conscious. Cat.
Speaker 1: I was always socially conscious because I was aware of
Speaker 1: the disparity and the inequality. I mean, it was it
Speaker 1: was front and center in my life. Like here I
Speaker 1: am and NYU and the only Latino in my class.
Speaker 1: And you know, I had Andrew McCarthy in my class.
Speaker 1: I had dB Sweeney. I don't know if people do
Speaker 1: remember these. It's an age gap here. But they were
Speaker 1: going to five editions a day.
Speaker 3: DB Sweeney. He was spreading edge.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and Andrew McCarthy was it like every eighties movie,
Speaker 1: you know, every breakfast club. And they were going to
Speaker 1: five editions a day. And I was going to one
Speaker 1: every five months. Wow for a drug dealer. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. I was an idealistic young man,
Speaker 1: and I realized, oh my god, my opportunities are not
Speaker 1: the same. No matter if I got a's, they didn't
Speaker 1: get a's. I was paying the same tuition I did not.
Speaker 1: No matter how what I did, I was never going
Speaker 1: to have the same opportunities as them. That's when I
Speaker 1: realized that this deck was stacked against me. And I
Speaker 1: didn't lose sight of that. And then you get older,
Speaker 1: and then you get invited to one DNC and then
Speaker 1: I flipped John Kerry. I was at the DNC and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I was like, oh, wow, this
Speaker 1: is politics. It's accessible. I can talk to these people.
Speaker 1: They're reachable. That made me realize that there was something
Speaker 1: I could do, that I could talk to people, and
Speaker 1: it made me change my whole mind about it that
Speaker 1: it was not you know, certain people's politics that I
Speaker 1: had a little bit of that apathy too, you know,
Speaker 1: m hm, just because growing up in the hood and whatnot.
Speaker 3: But actually you felt like there was something you actually
Speaker 3: could control or effect change in a certain way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Things that I did, things that I participated, had
Speaker 1: an influence of some you know whatever, small little influence.
Speaker 1: We all have some influence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: That's powerful to hear because I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of people don't even bother to vote to the point
Speaker 2: where they think that vote wouldn't matter.
Speaker 3: But there's even so much more they I.
Speaker 1: Mean these when I go travel around America and I
Speaker 1: see these, it's mostly Latina's organizing with no money, nothing
Speaker 1: on their own and organizing and going door to door
Speaker 1: and and getting people to flip their votes and giving
Speaker 1: us Arizona. It means incredible and it's in Arizona, Texas, California.
Speaker 1: You know, AOC did it in New York. She went stomping.
Speaker 1: My mom went with her and all over queens and
Speaker 1: knock on doors. Hello, you want to vote for Rest?
Speaker 1: Come on, you can do it. I know you can't.
Speaker 1: Come on vote, Come on, go got go go.
Speaker 3: It's always the women who have to end up doing right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The labor, yeah.
Speaker 1: It maybe it's shit done.
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, yeah, no, it's always had yeah.
Speaker 2: In terms of this piece, and like the writing process,
Speaker 2: I know, like the writers came with some pitches and
Speaker 2: I ideas, did you have like did you know what
Speaker 2: it was you wanted to talk about or were you
Speaker 2: kind of open to see like okay, well were their pitches?
Speaker 2: Is the way we kind of marry the two ideas.
Speaker 1: Well. I talked to Jen and we text and I
Speaker 1: said I wanted to deal with the voting situation, and
Speaker 1: then boom she she ran for it, you know, and
Speaker 1: and I and I send her like, you know, thirty
Speaker 1: six million Latino little a little Wikipedia information or Google information.
Speaker 1: I gogglia, I go glad. That's the spang is right,
Speaker 1: there and uh, I sent it to and then boom
Speaker 1: she had a piece. And then I said, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to do accents and voices and do my
Speaker 1: cousins and do my uncles and whatnot. You know, you
Speaker 1: guys wrote it. Yeah, and then boom, here we are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: One thing I thought was when I originally a pitch
Speaker 2: I had which we didn't get to. You were saying
Speaker 2: you wanted to focus on two is how it wasn't
Speaker 2: just immigration that Latinos are that they care about. In fact,
Speaker 2: they don't even really care about it that much at all,
Speaker 2: compared to other issues, like it's all about the economy
Speaker 2: and inflation. Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's what I found talking to my
Speaker 1: because I thought we did care. I was out. That
Speaker 1: was in my own bubble. Yeah. I thought immigration was
Speaker 1: a big deal because I see the horrors happening. But no,
Speaker 1: Latinos are, especially immigrant Latinos who are naturalized, feel competitive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that these other people are getting asylum and getting their
Speaker 1: naturalization really quick, and they didn't. They had to work
Speaker 1: their asses off, and they feel bitter. And I had
Speaker 1: no idea. I thought they were full of empathy and
Speaker 1: love and the ad they see them as a threat
Speaker 1: because they actually can take their jobs, right, So that
Speaker 1: was a hard lesson for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I think probably what the two campaigns
Speaker 2: are having to learn as well. Not just inflation and
Speaker 2: the economy. Polls are also showing Latino voters are interested
Speaker 2: about crime and healthcare, and there's also all these other
Speaker 2: issues that disproportionately affect them. Like I was doing some
Speaker 2: research for the piece. Apparently, of all women of color,
Speaker 2: Latinos are most hurt by abortion bands. Latinos are also
Speaker 2: more disapportionally affected by clime change because they tend to
Speaker 2: be working jobs that are like outdoors, they're vulnerable to
Speaker 2: extreme weather. And so I was like, oh, yeah, Like
Speaker 2: there's so much stuff other than immigration that the media
Speaker 2: and these campaigns shouldn't focus on because like another thing
Speaker 2: you were talking about that you want to say that
Speaker 2: Latinos are not a monolith. You know, there are so
Speaker 2: many different issues that are affecting them, and that's something
Speaker 2: I think our piece kind of touches on, right ryb.
Speaker 1: We trying to touch my I mean I got well
Speaker 1: like three minutes on on cameras, so it's hard. It's
Speaker 1: hard to touch on all the topics. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess everybody thinks immigration is a thing because even
Speaker 1: though we keep saying immigration, immigrants, what we're really saying
Speaker 1: is we're saying Latinos coming across the border. Yeah, nobody,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what. It's so weird. We're seeing
Speaker 1: pictures of Latinos. We see pictures of them being rounded
Speaker 1: up by horses, we see them crossing river, we see
Speaker 1: them dying. But nobody's saying Latinos. They're saying immigrants. So
Speaker 1: but that's the unspoken word that bothers me a lot.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, Latinos are deep in their lives. They
Speaker 1: got a lot of trauma. They can't be as concerned
Speaker 1: about their immigrant brothers and sisters. So we need to
Speaker 1: win this election to fix all these things. So let's
Speaker 1: focus on the things that are going to get Latinos
Speaker 1: to vote. You know, Bernie had it. Bernie had the Latinos.
Speaker 1: He had Latino consultants, he had AOC, he had a
Speaker 1: ton of them. They spoke to Latino's. Latinos were fired
Speaker 1: up about Bernie because he spoke about these things. He
Speaker 1: spoke about jobs, lowering taxes, helping small businesses, get a
Speaker 1: little propped up. He spoke. He knew that the lingo
Speaker 1: he had it down. They should just hire all the
Speaker 1: people he had, which I mean, they're hard to get
Speaker 1: because they're all like moved.
Speaker 3: Up, including Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, Bernie Sanders talks to them. He talks to talk.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he did it, but he got
Speaker 1: it all.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a great place to stop. And there's
Speaker 2: so much more that we didn't get to cover in
Speaker 2: this podcast or in the piece.
Speaker 1: So look, yeah, actually, Cat, what a pleasure.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Oh, thank you so much for taking the
Speaker 3: time to do this podcast and for.
Speaker 1: The thank you for writing a kick ass piece.
