1 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: To our question of the day two pmize point to 2 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: a pause for central banks. It looks like the market 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: is telling us, yes, you're seeing a rally into the 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: bond market, yield drop like a stone, and the dollar 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: coming off its highs, and you have a move into 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: the equity market. So let's get the broader take Ralph 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: shlast nine Evercore chairman Emeritith joins me now here on set. 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: Ralph, So good to see you. Thanks for coming in. 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: It's great to see you as well. 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: So what do you think does the data point to 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: a pause right now? 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 4: Well, I think there's been encouraging data both on the 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 4: inflation front and on the growth side. I don't think 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 4: it will really affect what Pal says on Friday. I 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 4: think what's probably going to distinguish him is what he 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 4: doesn't say. I think he's not going to say mission accomplished. 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 4: And I don't think he's going to be pawkish either. 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 4: So I think he's just gonna middle right down the middle. 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 4: If there were a fairway in Jackson Hole, that's where 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: he'd be. 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 5: Okay, I like big right down the middle of the fairway. 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 5: It never happens, but sounds like a really nice idea. 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 5: What does that mean for the markets, Ralph, the markets 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 5: are anticipating to get cuts next year. Do you think 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 5: he get those cuts? Is he gonna disabuse this of 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 5: the idea that we do get those cuts. 27 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 4: I think the one thing that he could say that 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 4: would affect the markets is not necessarily it is longer. 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: I do think we're gonna have a period of higher 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 4: rates for longer. I don't think that's priced in the 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: market yet. If he chooses to say that, that will 32 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: have a negative effect on the markets, But the market 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 4: clearly is not anticipating that. 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: What is higher for longer? I mean Bill Dudley had 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: a piece out earlier this week. He was looking at 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: the ten But when you wrap in that fiscal deficits 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: term premium, you're looking at substantially four point five percent 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: higher yields. 39 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: What do you think we're going. 40 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: To start with. 41 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: I think we're going to see I don't believe the 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: Fed is going to cut in the first half of 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: next year, and I think the economy still has a 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: fair amount of strength. And because they use the word 45 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: transitory and got themselves into a deep hole, I think 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: they're going to be very careful not to declare mission 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: accomplished too quickly, and I think they're prepared to take 48 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: the risk of a mild recession to do that to 49 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: do that. 50 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 5: Well, are we going back though to what we had 51 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 5: before the pandemic? Are super low rates or a rate's 52 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 5: going to be more normal for the last twenty thirty 53 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 5: years over the next ten years. 54 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: Yeah. 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 4: I think the thing that if you step back a little, 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 4: but we went through a forty year period of time 57 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: where rates were generally declining longer rates and they got 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: extraordinarily low. I think that period of time has passed. 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: The bond ball dead, the. 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: Bond bull is. 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 4: I don't know, if you know, there'll be mini bulls, 62 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: but there's not going to be that incredible systemic, long 63 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 4: term grinding lower of interest rates. And I think that, 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: you know, the all of risk assets and all of 65 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 4: investments have benefited from that. So we've been in the 66 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: last forty years have kind of been the golden age 67 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: of investing, and I don't think we're going to have 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: that for the next ten or twenty years. 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: So even Guy wasn't around before forty years ago. 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: He was around, but like he. 71 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: Was, he was gleam in his mother's eye. 72 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: He was gleaming all right, for sure. 73 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: But so I guess for those of us who weren't around, then, 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: how do you make returns? Like what's a good investment strategy? 75 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Because it feels like in some ways we're going to 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: be very over risked. 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, the. 78 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: Biggest it's hard. It's going to be harder to earn returns. 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: You know. It's interesting. 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 4: I had this discussion with Larry Summers several years ago, 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 4: and he was actually talking about the White House staff 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 4: that I served on under President Carter. And there were 83 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 4: a lot of very successful people on that staff. President 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 4: Company not included, but people like David Rubinstein and Frank Rains, 85 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. And you know, he said, how 86 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: did that happen? And I said, well, you know, I 87 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: think if you look at it, we were all incredibly 88 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: lucky to be in the prime of our work lives 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: in the greatest period of broad wealth creation fueled by. 90 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: Rally and risk. 91 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: Assets in the history of the country. And so I 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 4: think the way to make money in the next couple 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: of decades is probably is going to be inequities. 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: But I personally am way. 95 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: Overweighted in private equity, because I think they're private equity 96 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 4: owners are more aggressive about addressing strategic or human shortcomings 97 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 4: in businesses than public companies are. 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 5: What do you think about private credit? What do you 99 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 5: do You think private equity needs to make an adjustment 100 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 5: to the higher rates era that we're potentially going to 101 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 5: be going into. How far through that process do you 102 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 5: think we are? They seem to be struggling a little 103 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: bit in certain areas. There's a lot of portfolio companies 104 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 5: out there as well that are going to struggle to 105 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 5: make that adjustment as well. Do you think private equity 106 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 5: is going to have a tough few years and then 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 5: go back on track or do you think it's still 108 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 5: on track right now. 109 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: I think that there's definitely an adjustment going on right now, 110 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: and I think if you were a fly on the 111 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: wall at any large private equity firm, the discussion would 112 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 4: center around we've got to get more liquidity for our investors, 113 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 4: We've got to sell things, and the challenges that there's 114 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: still a gap fueled by somewhat weaker multiples and by 115 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 4: higher cost financing between what sellers would like to get 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: for their companies and what buyers are prepared to pay 117 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: for them. 118 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: So I appreciate that your few decade view is different 119 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: than what we're. 120 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: Going to see over the next eighteen months. 121 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: But do you think we're going to get into some 122 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: kind of distressed debt cycle or with inflation getting stickier? 123 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: Is it all different? 124 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 4: It's hard to imagine that are not going to see 125 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 4: something some stress. Certainly we're going to see stress in 126 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: the office commercial real estate debt market, yeah, which is 127 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: a highly levered asset. Uh And I think you know 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: there are many companies that have pretty levered balance sheets. 129 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: Now offsetting that is the fact that you've got very 130 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: forgiving capital structures. You know, the whole covenant light structure 131 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: means that the the day of reckoning is manyana, manyana, manyana. 132 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: But ultimately it happens. 133 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 5: Graph you go to any Ai tucked in that pool 134 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 5: filio as well. 135 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: I'm not smart enough artificially or otherwise. 136 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: So you feel like the Namdia hype is hype or 137 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: real or you just don't know. 138 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: It's a real thing, no question about it. But I think, 139 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: unlike you know in the video, it may very. 140 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: Well be the exception. 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 4: But first of all, I can't own any individual stocks 142 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 4: because of my wife's job. 143 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: So understood. 144 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: So I own indexes that thing in the UK. That's it. Yes, 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: she beats me up in the garden. 146 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 4: But I think, you know, the interesting thing about AI 147 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 4: is that, unlike the Internet, where you have these incredibly 148 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: powerful companies that were created, you know, the so called 149 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: Magnificent seven, I think the impact of AI is going 150 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 4: to be much broadly, more broadly distributed in already existing companies. 151 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 4: So it's going to affect every business just like the 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: Internet did. But it's not clear to me that there, 153 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 4: you know, other than the chip, that they're going to 154 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 4: be massive, you know, earth changing companies created as a 155 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: result of AI. 156 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: In terms of what do you do there? The equity story, 157 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 5: I think is fascinating. 158 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: Equities. 159 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: To what extent do you think equities are fair value? Now? 160 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 5: Do they have some? If you why would I if 161 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 5: I'm in a five percent money market fund, Ralph, should 162 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 5: I be coming out of that money market fund now 163 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 5: and investing elsewhere? Or do you think the period of 164 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 5: uncertainty you've kind of described a little bit, you should 165 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 5: wait for that to work its way through, for the 166 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 5: clouds to clear, for the uncertainty to maybe sort of 167 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 5: dissipate a bit. This year has been this year, it's 168 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: been narrative after narrative after narrative, and that strikes me 169 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 5: as being a signal of a market that is that 170 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 5: is at a pivot point and the direction of travel 171 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 5: isn't as clear as maybe we would like it to be. 172 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: I certainly am of that view. 173 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: What I don't have in index funds, I have in cash, 174 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: and a lot of cash. So and I think there 175 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 4: may be a bit of a head fake going on 176 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: right now in the economy because you had, as a 177 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 4: result of the pandemic, massive, massive stimulus in this country, 178 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 4: and you know, well beyond what people could actually spend, 179 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 4: So you had this incredible build up of excess savings 180 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 4: which is now being spent down, and I think is 181 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: kind of masking a little bit the bite of the 182 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: tightened monetary policy. When that runs out, and I think 183 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 4: we're within months of running out, I think you're going 184 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: to see the bite of monetary policy, which has delays 185 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 4: in any case, and I think we still have this 186 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: sugar high from the pandemic stimulus that is masking what 187 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 4: will likely be some weakness in the economy. 188 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: Kind of pushes me out to mid twenty twenty four, 189 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: which incidentally is when we're going to see the presidential 190 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: race really get underway. 191 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: Do you think it's going to be Trump and Biden again? 192 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: It certainly looks that way today, although one could certainly 193 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: make arguments for each of them not being there. But 194 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 4: Biden is clearly running. I think he's in good health 195 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: mentally and physically and has every intention of running, and 196 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: I think he genuinely believes that if Trump is the opponent, 197 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 4: he's the best qualified to take on former President Trump. 198 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 4: The Republican primaries are stacked very much in Trump's favor, 199 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: of seventeen primaries that are winner take all, and with 200 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: twelve opponents, you know, you can get an awful lot 201 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: of delegates with a plurality of votes in the primaries. 202 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 5: Do you think the President's doing a good job right now? 203 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 5: Do you think is economic policies are the right one? 204 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 5: The US economy seems to be supported on federal spending 205 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 5: right now, and I'm wondering whether you think Biden no 206 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 5: mix is the way forward. 207 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: I think the president has actually had an incredibly productive 208 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 4: two and a half years. You know, the recovery plan 209 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: from the pandemic the Infrastructure Plan, the Chips Act. You know, 210 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: these are all pretty remarkable bipartisan accomplishments. I think the 211 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: rallying the world in support of the Ukraine has been 212 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 4: a also a pretty remarkable accomplishments. 213 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: Know that all of that contributed to inflation, maybe more 214 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: structural inflation. 215 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 4: Definitely, the last it wasn't a dollop, it was a 216 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 4: wave of stimulus, definitely made a contribution to that. 217 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 5: Ralph, you mentioned earlier that you served in the Cultural Administration, 218 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 5: and you were there with some of the prices in 219 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 5: the best. When the time comes, how should how should 220 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 5: we remember President Causa? 221 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: I think President Carter will be remembered as by far 222 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: our best ex president, and that's not He's a remarkably 223 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: high integrity, high quality, intelligent man. Honestly, having observed him 224 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 4: for four years, he didn't really like politics. It's hard 225 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 4: to be a great resident when you don't like politics. 226 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: You can trast him with the president who followed him, 227 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan, who happens to have politics different from mine, 228 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 4: but I think was an incredibly effective president. I wouldn't 229 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 4: say that about President Carter, but he's been a remarkable 230 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 4: ex president. His charitable activities, his involvement globally in free 231 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: and fair elections, you know, going out and building houses 232 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 4: for happit at that for humanity, you know, two years 233 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: ago when he was ninety six, I mean pretty remarkable. 234 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be doing that when I'm 235 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: ninety six, I'm going. 236 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: To be I'm not sure I could do that at. 237 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: My age now or my age totally fair. 238 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 4: I'm afraid I would hammer my finger rather than the nail. 239 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: And then you really get yelled at in the garden 240 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: fire life. There would definitely that. 241 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all waiting for the next series of the Diplomats, Ralph. 242 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: I hear you're a Knicks fans, so you probably don't 243 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 5: have a beyond this. The Yankees losing nine in a row. 244 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 5: Is that something that warms your hearts? Or are you 245 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 5: you can still concerned? 246 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: In New York City. 247 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: I'm a born and bred Philadelphia and so I root 248 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 4: for every Philadelphia team, except in basketball, where I root 249 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 4: for the Knicks. Because I'm an incredible I have every 250 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: man's dream. I have every member of my family as 251 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 4: a rabid fan of my favorite sports, so we all 252 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 4: coalesced around the next. 253 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: Okay, but I get no. 254 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 4: If I had the beef in Philadelphia for a New 255 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: York team, it would be the Yankees. 256 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: So I'm disappointed. 257 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 5: Okay, Ralph, I hear you gonna be in London, so 258 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 5: we'll see you then.
