The Scott Adams School - 10/08/26 The Home Team and AKIRA the Don Stops By.

Ta-da!

And we are live. Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Look who's back. Oh, I wanted to sing again. I always want to sing, but I know we'll get in trouble. Well, and you won't enjoy it. I was gonna sing, uh, Slim Shady, you know, Eminem, Guess Who's Back. But you guys are all— you were all spared. Spared.

Just imagine it.

Just imagine it. All right, I have a question before Marcela's coming. But I have a question. ¿Dónde está Marcela? She's coming. Okay, you guys, you know that peanut butter powder? It's like PB2, and it's like a powdered peanut butter, and it's like for added flavor and protein. Could I put that in my coffee and froth it in?

I'm gonna guess the answer is yes, you of course could, but I don't think it would work out very well.

Why?

I just— the peanut butter powder doesn't seem to dissolve very well in my experience.

Even with a frother? Oh, look, I'm getting yeses. Don't do it.

It might be worth a try just to see how it works out for you, but I— and maybe it's a different powder than the one I got, but even in the normal, like, protein shakes, I would put the protein powder in and it would still be kind of lumpy and not really Blend in.

What was that dance I'm doing? I'm like, I'm gonna try it maybe after the show. I have a little coffee left. I'll, um, just do it black with the peanut butter powder, right? Morgan Ray. I'll try it once, froth it up, and maybe it'll be frothy like the Top Hot Third frothy situation. See, there's— oh look, okay. All right, so let's go. Marcella will be here soon. She's just, uh, running around. And Akira will be here in a little while, so have no fear. Everyone's here. Okay, you guys, listen. Owen didn't see this yet, but we're gonna— I hate sipping without her. We're gonna sip. We're gonna sip. We all gotta do it. Oh, here she is. Here she is. Okay, hold on. I'm excited. I like us to sip together, so we can do it now. Here's Mars. Marcella!

Hello! How are you doing today?

Oh no, Marcella, you know what you need?

A sip.

You do!

Let's do it!

But first, the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like Coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better except for mail-in voting. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go.

Oh yeah.

Yep. I don't think there's a dangling Chad anywhere in the country after that sip. It's all good now.

Shout out to the dimpled and dangling chads of the '90s. That was the worst. Uh, was that—

how did he know that we would be right in the middle of mail-in voting today?

I mean, Owen, he knows everything. He's like Santa. He really is. Sometimes it's amazing how these sips line up. Sippity-doo-dah. Uh, you guys, so the funniest thing— oh wait, first Marcella. It's gonna be okay. Everything's okay. We got you, sister. We got you. And you know what, Marcella?

Why don't you—

why don't you leave at half the halfway mark today and take the rest of the day? Okay? I think it's good. Oh my gosh. So if Marcella leaves it at her 7:30 mark, I think it's because she needs it. Ah, okay. So Trump— what was the rally last night? Where were we in, um— I can't keep up with him. He did a rally last night. Anyway, this moment, I didn't really see anything about it except for this clip, and it was amazing. So, you know, they have that big Jumbotron behind him, Owen, and he's turning around looking at the crowd, which forced him to look at the back of his head. Let's look at this.

Oh my God.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm not happy right now. Getting a little bit thin up there.

I'm not happy.

This is not good news. Now I'm depressed. I said I look really sharp tonight. Then I just looked at myself from the back. This is not good. Why didn't you tell me? I love that because he is pretty vain, and you know, which is good. Like you should care about the way you look, right? And you know his hair he's been doing. So you guys, his hair goes like. His hair, he brings it forward. Like, you know when you do the George Washington in the swimming pool when you bring all your hair forward and then you go like this? That's what he does. So his hair is really long, it goes forward, and then he does this like whoop, and then he covers the back. So I thought that was hysterical. I love it.

Well, I mean, and I, you know, you say he's being vain, but I would say like that was also self-deprecating humor. I mean, he's making fun of himself. And I think that's probably what his critics would say he would never do.

Oh, for sure. Right. That was so cute. He's like, wait a minute. So I love that. Marcella, has it cooled off in LA yet?

No.

No. And we have a hurricane coming.

Welcome to the East Coast. That's odd, right?

Well, I don't know. And then, and then Trump, not that I don't Not that I, that I tell him not to say this, but I think in, in that speech that he did it, he did it twice, that he's like, oh, Iran can bomb Los Angeles and San Diego, Los Angeles and San Diego. And I'm like, oh no, don't tell them, don't give them ideas.

Oh my God. Exactly. I know.

And now news— And now the hurricane. So it's like, hmm, what's—

So if the, if the, if the big earthquake comes, are you going to be falling off into the ocean?

No, but if there's a hurricane and an earthquake altogether, then Sharknado might come, you know. So I just— I don't know. I'll survive everything, so don't worry, guys.

Okay, I'm not worried about Marcella. She's a survivor. Listen, come hell or high water, Marcella's surviving. We know it.

Literally.

Literally. Um, Okay, so this is exciting. Could, um, Marcella or Owen listen? We've got Elon today heading to the White House. He's getting the— or is he getting the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation? Is it both or one? I wasn't sure. And who else? Who, who has the info on this? I know I asked you guys, but who else is getting a medal today?

Everyone.

Everyone gets a medal today.

Oh, like they even said Erica said like Erica's getting one, I'm getting one. Oh, and it feels that way, to be honest. I think Trump wanted just to give, um, Elon the medal, but he's like, uh, the other people are gonna complain. So Elon is getting the National Medal of Science. Uh, Google co-founder Sergey Brin— it's probably best for Owen to pronounce these names, but—

Maybe not.

I don't know.

I can try. I think I have the same list. Elon Musk, Google's Sergey Brin, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, and AMD CEO Lisa Su. And then those are for the National Medal of Science. And then Michael Dell and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will get the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

Okay. By the way, let's really quick— I, I have no information on this except for what's in my little tiny shiny human brain. Um, the Dells, like, honestly amazing job with these Trump accounts. And so, uh, it was if you had a, a new baby, you could sign up for the Trump accounts. They were going to put $1,000 in a, what, like a bond or something? And then, you know, when your, when your baby grows up, they'd have like a little nest egg started for them. And I guess some people, because they're stupid, wouldn't do it because Trump's name was on it. I mean, can you imagine? Like, I'm gonna hurt my child having some extra money because, wah, Trump.

I mean, even a lot of people on the left are praising this. Like, even the Dem— like Newsom and others, I think, who come out and said, this is good, this is a great thing. And So I'm sure there are these stubborn people that are willing to cut off their own foot to just hurt Trump, but it's just silly.

Well, now they're auto-enrolling the kids. So I forget what the number was. It was a lot. It was like—

70 million.

I was gonna say 60. Okay, 70 million babies have now been enrolled, and they're also getting some stock shares of certain companies. And oh, and do you know the other part of it? There was another billionaire that was going to do something for low-income families.

I don't know all the details, but I know several billionaires have contributed to this. So it's not all coming out of taxpayer dollars. A lot of it is donations. And I don't even know if any of it's coming from taxpayer dollars, frankly. I just know a lot of billionaires have contributed to it. And it was kind of one of these things where probably Trump, the Trump administration was asking them to do this. But I think it's You know, it's a win-win situation for a lot of these billionaires. They obviously, they get the charitable, you know, accolades for doing nice things for poorer people. But, um, you know, it also means that a lot of this is going to be invested in their stocks. So it's kind of like it'll come back to them in some way in terms of their companies.

Win-win.

And, um, it— I'm guessing part of the design of it was also just that by having this happen, you kind of have another automatic bid on the market.

Right.

Like, there's going to be regular investments happening that wouldn't have otherwise happened going into the US stock market. So it's going to boost stock prices. And that again then goes back to helping the kids because it raises the stock prices. And so I think it's a great system all the way around. Um, you know, the, the $1,000 or whatever they start with, you know, may not be enough by itself, but it's another— it's kind of like an IRA for kids. And I think it's great because What I explained to my kids was like, the earlier you can start contributing to your 401 at work or your IRA if you don't have a 401, the better it is. And you can do the math and see how just little amounts can add up to many millions of dollars by the time you retire. And this is something I learned in college when I took my first finance class. They did this experiment where they— I mean, not experiment, but they said, okay, now calculate what it would be if you contribute, let's say, $5,000 a year for 10 years and then you stop and then you wait until retirement. How much would you have based on how much it would grow? And then they would say, now do the same thing except don't contribute anything for the first 10 years, but then contribute the same $5,000 a year for the rest of your career. So like another 30 years. So you're putting in 3 times as much money. Now calculate what you have.

And it's less.

It's less money than if you did the early one. And so if you back that up to when someone's born, it's like multiply that by 4 or something. And so it's— even a small amount can add up to a lot over the course of someone's life.

Yeah, I like how Kobe said reward citizenship, sell shares in America. I love that. Um, Marcella, we should go, go have some babies and, uh, get them loaded up. Oh my God.

If anyone has a baby because of that, then that's another win.

I mean, you know it's gonna happen. So, um, all right, so let's move on. Um, I just want to play— I'm gonna skip this one thing just for time. I want to get more news in. But, um, so we know that Rubio was in Greece and he, you know, gave a speech with the Acropolis behind him. I just wanted to pull one clip. I didn't do any of that like you know, monumental, like, you know, cue the music. I just wanted to get like a little bit of the meat. And so I like this clip, and then we'll chat about it, and then Owen and Marcella are going to teach me the news. Okay, here we go.

Under President Trump, the United States has made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power, to take back control of our critical supply chains, to re-industrialize our economy, to rebuild our defense, to fight for dominance of the technologies and industries of the future. We choose to reach for new frontiers in advanced manufacturing and superintelligence, in drones, weapons, and warfare, in chips, minerals, cyber, and every other domain of human possibility, to unleash our energy, to rebuild our factories, to return our astronauts to the moon and launch a new age of exploration in space. Now, for all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive. They understood that nations have interests. They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy. But they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force when prudence and diplomacy fail.

I like that. Um, oh, Marcella's cooling off. She's at the Acropolis. Look at her. I was like, what just happened? Um, I love that, Marcella. Good for you. So since you're there and you, um, got to witness this, uh, I love talking about America taking, taking back, like, you know, just leading. What do you think?

Um, give me one second. I don't think you can hear me.

Can you hear me?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

We can hear you.

I don't know if Marcella can hear us, but we can hear you.

All right, Owen, go ahead. You take it.

Well, I, I think it's great. I mean, Rubio has certainly come a long way with his speechmaking, if nothing else. And, um, I think it's exactly the right message, and I think it's, uh, a continuation of what we've you know, the Trump administration has been talking about. I think ever since probably Obama, it seems like the message was more like, hey, we're, you know, we're going to be much less important as a country kind of thing was the message. It was like we're gonna become this globalist hegemony, and, and it seemed like we were just giving up all sorts of things for no reason, um, to countries that were much less powerful and, and making these bad trade deals and stuff. And it almost seemed like we were trying to make it happen and The message for a while was about this, like, you know, well, the US is on decline. It's not going to be there anymore. We had a nice run, but that's it. And I'm glad that we're reversing that. I don't think there's any reason to do that. And I think we made a lot of big mistakes in terms of giving up our supply chain and giving up like critical pharmaceuticals and other supply chain things where we became dependent on China and dependent on people. And especially when China really isn't our ally, that's a big problem.

I agree. The, the, the fact that China has— is making the bulk of all of our medication is so scary to me because I, you know, like I asked Dr. Drew when we spoke to him with BJ, and I just said, why wouldn't they taint it? You know, like, that's just— I just think, you know, why wouldn't they? Um, they send fentanyl here. So I would love our country to just be completely self-reliant. I think that's the Like one of the best borders we could put on our country is to just rely on ourselves for everything we need. And, um, it would make us so much safer. Um, Marcella's back. Here she is. Um, so we can, you know, we can move on from that. But the whole speech, it's, it's not that long. I think it was 20-something minutes. If you guys want to see it, it's posted everywhere. And I, I personally think Rubio's running because He is doing one presidential type of thing after the other. I know what he said about Vance, but I, I think he's running. And I, you know, listen, I wouldn't be mad about it. I personally would like to see a Gen X president. We've never had one. And if he doesn't, we might never have one. So I'm like, let's go. Um, all right, so let's move on. So Owen, why don't you give us, um, your first news story and we'll get some news under our belts?

Well, on the science front, there's a study that found that natural dairy trans fats are very different from industrial fats. So apparently they're much healthier for you. Surprise, surprise. Probably could have just asked Scott. But yeah, there were— it was, I guess, a meta-analysis. So maybe Scott wouldn't have liked that part, but they looked at 22 studies involving thousands of people across the US, Europe, Canada, and basically found that the natural fats and the industrial fats are not the same. And that the problems you have with these trans fats and things like that are probably mostly from those industrial synthetic ultra-processed fats. So go ahead and drink your milk and eat your cheese and don't worry as much about the trans fats, but try and stay away from the seed oils and the bad fats.

Okay. Shout out to cheese. I love cheese. Okay, Marcella, why don't you give us a A news item.

So Trump spoke, uh, you showed some of it. You should— well, you showed the funny part. Uh, he talked to— in San Antonio, he was doing a midterm rally, um, and he talked about Iran and the deal with Iran. And he is not, uh— he said something like that I don't want to do it and that I'm willing to offer us— they're willing to offer us Anything to stop, but he's thinking of doing massive bombing. And I know that, uh, the few— like a few days ago, maybe a week ago, there was more, um, more military was moved, uh, to the Middle East. Um, and we'll see. But, uh, crude remnants elevated, um, as non-Iranian Gulf exports are, you know, dealing with issues with Iran and the Hormuz Strait. But to be honest, the UAE and other states there, um, have figured out a way around the Hormuz Strait. So it's, it's getting better. And we'll see, we'll see if there's massive bombing. He said that before.

Yeah. Well, what do you two think? Um, you know, what do you think, Marcella? Because I just saw that like our first Our first tanker from Texas has now arrived in Japan of crude or of oil. And I'm like, wait, can't we use that? Like, wouldn't— why are we— I know we're selling it to Japan and trading with Japan now, but I mean, wouldn't it make sense to keep that here? I don't know. I know nothing.

I think generally it's better. I mean, as far as overall oil prices go, it's better not to have restrictions like that. often would think, well, you know, why don't we just keep it here and make it cheaper here? But I think because it's a global market, anytime you do that, you're basically restricting it. And I think it's more complex when you get to oil because it's not all oil is the same. Like you have different, many different types of oil and you need refineries to turn that into gasoline and diesel and all the other things. And I think that's actually our problem is that we don't have enough refinery capacity. And so in many cases when you see oil going to some other country, it's because they have the refineries to process it and we might not, at least not enough. And it's become very difficult, if not impossible, to build a new refinery in the United States. I think we've had some that are kind of offshore on certain islands or nearby places that we've built them before. But even that, I think, has become difficult, at least when it's a United States-based refinery because of all our environmental regulations and other things, because it is a pretty dirty process.

Right.

So I think the refinery capacity is the issue, but you have to take that into account whenever you're thinking about oil trade because you have to line up the capacity of who can process what kinds of oil and how would it impact oil prices if suddenly you said, okay, we can only send it certain places. It may not actually benefit prices. So I think generally speaking, it's better to have that free market where everybody can just bid on it and that'll keep it A lower price because—

so why are we closing our refineries? That's like, if we don't have enough and we're closing them, what, what's— I mean, Marcella, California, I know is closing refineries. Shouldn't we be keeping them open? I— again, this is just—

blame Gavin.

Just—

I will, I will.

Um, I mean, he might be, he might be at fault for all of this. Um, it's, it's the environmental actions that They, they don't want— it's kind of like we're the Germany of America. Germany closed all its nuclear, um, plants, you know, and, and they felt so good about it because, you know, climate change. So the same thing with all the refineries.

So if we could get all the wokeness out of California and just be like, let's fire up, we'd solve so many of our problems, right? Oh my God. Which, you know what, I'm gonna play my clip because This is David Spade and Dana Carvey have a podcast and they, I don't know if Dana lives in California. I think maybe he does. I know David does, but it's just Gavin Newsom. He is, he's the Trump of the left. Like blame him for everything. Let's just take a listen.

The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California when they're building a $100 billion train to Sacramento, San Francisco area that I don't know if everyone's clamoring for it when you could take $10 billion and probably fix a lot of problems in California. But they keep pushing this 10-year thing about the train. That's just one of the crazy things. The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. Well, that's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, well, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for An audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, "Not a chance. You're not going to see that." That's well. I don't think anyone could disagree with this. There are states. I don't have them offhand, who basically you go to their website and they tell you where all the money is going. Yeah, line by line. Maybe it's thousands of pages a year, but you can see where it's going. So when there's he's behind the curtain, don't pay attention to Gavin Newsom. You know. It's a little bit frustrating because you go, you can't ask for more. I mean, if someone's— if you're in a household and someone's blowing all the money, you go, what are you spending it on? Don't worry about it, just give us more money. You go, well, I'd like to see some something. And if it's fixing homeless, great, but don't just take it and then be like, homeless has gotten worse. You go, it's like, but you just— excuse me, Kevin Newsom, excuse me, um, could we ask Where the twenty billion went, or that's a great question. But no, Garth, I'm sorry. That was Garth asking. It was Garth. A little bit of Garth.

It's just it's so stupid because it's so true. It's like he actually vetoed an investigation that people asked for. Well, where is all this money going? He's like, "Not we're not going to look into it." What? Oh, Marcella, we can only—

Was that the Nick Shirley Act or was that another one? Like, it was basically saying you're not allowed to look into this stuff, right?

I mean, isn't it the taxpayer's money, Marcella? And aren't you guys pissed?

You know, on the—

what's that?

The Nick—

the—

it's the Nick Shirley Act.

It is?

Yeah, there's some laws we have in California. So yeah, I mean, I, I don't know. I mean, you have to sue the pants out of the state of California and you run out of, you know, there has to be a federal, like a federal oversight over what California is doing because they can't police themselves and they control the courts. The state controls all courts. The state controls everything.

Mm-hmm.

So it would be for the federal government, if anybody's listening, They should do that. You should look into all of like— yeah, it's all full-on fraud.

So California kind of sucks because they take up so much coastline on the West Coast where like a lot of things need to happen as far as like refineries or whatever that you need the coast to do things. And they're like, no, no, we're like granola, Birkenstocks, and you know, those The endangered little mosquito might not like the smell of that. And it's like, we gotta get up and running here, people. Uh, California is holding back America, and that's just, you know, that's my opinion. But I, I think it would be amazing if California could just have like this earth-shattering— not quaking— moment where it's like, you know what, we're turning this around and we're gonna put Republicans in. We're gonna have prosperity. We're gonna get things straight. Fix the problems. It's such a sad state of affairs what happened to the most gorgeous state.

And I think it's largely because they've been under Democrat one-party control for so long. And I would even say the same thing might be true if you had a totally red, always red no matter what type of state, that would probably mean there might be a lot of abuses going on because you don't really have a check on the system. You don't have any possibility that you're going to lose the election. So you feel free to do whatever you want, take extreme positions, do a bunch of fraud because, you know, you have control over all the parts of the government where it's never going to get checked. And that's how that happens. And I, I do wish that California voters would overwhelmingly come out and make the change and, and tell them we're not going to put up with this anymore. But I, I guess I don't have a lot of faith that it's going to happen.

I mean, I disagree. I, I don't think a red state is the same as a blue state, and I'll tell you why. And I see where you're coming from, Owen, but I think it's different because we talked about this before, that the Republican Party and the right is not always aligned with each other. There's always different factions. When it comes to the Democratic Party, they always, even though they have different factions, they always go together.

Right.

It's easier to bring together communism comrades than it is to bring in independent, uh, liberal minds— liberal in the old way— um, together. So, I mean, obviously fraud can happen in any government, but I see it as more prevalent, more prevalent in leftist governments. And it's all of the whole entire coast. Um, it's not just California, it's Oregon, it's Washington, it goes all up the entire coast. Coming from Baja California, Mexico, cartels, everything. It's all fraud, crime. It's just— I live in El Salvador, um, but just in America, I guess, right?

Yeah, I mean, I understand what you're saying. I mean, I think it's— it is about— I, I guess what my point that I think I'm agreeing with you on is that it's, it's about when one party has complete control, when there's no checks on the system, and, and maybe it is less likely on the right that you would have that because someone might be a whistleblower or say, I'm gonna fight this, kind of like you see with Massie and Rand Paul and people like that. But I think that— I, I would guess if you really looked, you might be able to find some places where there's bad things happening because a Democrat never gets elected and, and there's a lock on the government and it's all one party and they just protect each other. Um, and to me, that's just sort of the deep state idea that does go across parties. But, um, Yeah, we can agree to disagree, or I'm not even really sure if we're disagreeing.

Um, yeah, no, I, I get it both. Marcella, do you have to take off?

Yeah, not because Owen said.

That's it, Owen.

Yeah, that's it. I'm a Latina, what can I say? Just kidding. So have a great show. I see Akira's here, so I'll, uh, talk to you.

Aww, bye, Marcella. Bye-bye. Um, I swear if If California ever got itself together, which I'm not hopeful for, I mean, how many people would love to move there if it was run the right way? It would be— it's such a gorgeous state that is just so trashed. It's so sad. I mean, I— anytime I've been to California, I don't know, just, I guess because I'm on the East Coast, it's such a weird vibe when you go to the West Coast and you feel like whether the sun's rising or setting or it's here and it's like, oh my God, I'm still on the coast, but with like the opposite vibe. It's so fun. I love it. Um, Owen, why don't you give us another news item so we can be so informed out in the world?

All right, well, on the science front again, apparently scientists have figured out how to create CAR T cells inside patients. And this CAR T therapy is something that's been a big thing in the cancer treatment world, uh, where it kind of supercharges your immune system and helps your body both discover and attack cancer. Um, but apparently they've come up with some way that they can inject something into you that actually makes your body create CAR T cells. Um, and so that may make it easier to make that happen because you don't have to necessarily just inject them. You can, you know, make the body do it itself.

Is this that thing where it doesn't kill any of your healthy cells because it's making new ones?

Is—

I was reading something you posted. Did you post that today?

Yeah, I mean, I think I've posted a bunch of articles about CAR T-cells of various kinds, 'cause again, it is a big thing in the cancer treatment world. It's using these T-cells that are immunity— immune cells that just help identify which cells are abnormal. So yeah, they wouldn't attack normal cells, but they're kind of on the lookout for anything that doesn't look right, and then they'll attack the bad ones. including cancer cells. But I think a lot of times if you're older or if you have some other problem going on, your CAR T cells don't work well, or it might even be the cancer itself that somehow has defenses against them and turns them off or something like that. And so then it doesn't work the way you're hoping it would. And so this was a new method they came to say, you know, we can make the body create CAR T cells, these CAR T cells that would help rejuvenate or improve your immune system.

Interesting. Oh my gosh. I mean, I know people hang so much hope on, you know, these things happening and, and working. So I feel for everybody that's in these positions. And, you know, shout out to you. Like, I just can't imagine. So I hope, I hope we get some major breakthroughs like this, that they work and people's lives are saved. Okay, so actually, We have time for another news item if you have one ready for us, Al.

Okay, so let me scroll a little bit just so it's not all science. I think there's apparently a threat from the Mexican cartel that they're threatening to kidnap federal agents at the border. There obviously would still be cartels trying to do this human trafficking smuggling of people across the border. And apparently now they're trying to threaten that they're going to kidnap some of the Border Patrol agents.

Lovely.

What are we doing?

So things are heating up there. I've seen other stories where there— I think it was one of the Trump officials, I think, was saying that there's some kind of technology they have on the border that he's not allowed to talk about. I don't know if he was referring to what I'm about to say, but there's also these lasers that they've been testing near the border to shoot down Mexican cartel drones.

Awesome.

And so it really is kind of heating up, I think, a little bit. But, you know, we're also going after the cartels in a big way with all these boats we're blowing up and different things we're doing to try and get a handle on that. So it does seem like there's a lot going on there, probably more than the news typically talks about.

What do you think these cartel that have to get in the boat are thinking? They're like, oh, I don't want to, don't make me go on the boat.

I would think so, but honestly, I don't even know. I mean, it might even be I don't know if I want to call it a punishment, but they may be kind of like slave labor where they don't really have a choice. I could easily see cartels putting people at gunpoint and saying, it's either die now or take your chances. And I don't know. I mean, I don't know that that's happening, but I could easily see that happening.

It's like the Monty Python skit where he's like, I don't want to go on the cart. I feel happy.

I'm not dead yet.

Get in the boat. You're getting in, buddy. Um, okay, that's, that's, um, that's scary. I mean, it, it is crazy to think that right now how many cartel members we have running through the country that are actually just doing full-on business in our country. The cartel, the Mexican cartel. Um, we have gang members and gang violence from all over the world. Oh, Owen, did you post a story today that the Somalians are blaming Americans for some kind of gang violence? Uh, that was so off the, the beaten path to ask you that, but it was just amazing. It was something about Somalians blaming Americans for gang violence, and I was like, oh, you have a lot of freaking nerve. Um, was that—

I don't recall posting that. I don't know if that was me.

Oh, I just can't. The audacity of people that just invade our country and then the things that they say to us are just shocking and appalling. Okay, we still have time, Owen. Look at us. So yeah, I know. I like to just get in all the news we can while we can. That's great.

Well, Rod Blagojevich is apparently saying that he thinks a lot of the polling is fake. I'm guessing most people here will agree with that, but he's predicting no blue wave. He's saying that You know, there, there's a bunch of polling that is fake and favoring the Democrats ahead of the midterms, that we shouldn't believe it. And it's designed to persuade people and suppress turnout and mislead voters. And I'm seeing a lot of that on the right saying kind of like, we may be in for a surprise here, but I, we've heard that before and it hasn't happened. So I'm not trying to get your hopes up necessarily. And then certainly go out and vote as soon as you can. I just found out that in Illinois it starts on October 19th, so that's not very far away.

Mm-hmm.

It's like 11 days from now, and I'm gonna be showing up on the 19th to vote cuz as Steve Cortez told us, you know, you're, you're actually helping a lot more than just casting your vote by doing it on the first day, because otherwise they might be chasing you and spending a lot of money that they could be spending on someone else that didn't vote the first day. And so it's really helpful to get out as early as you can, get your vote in so they can check you off the list and say, okay, we got you, we're gonna go on to the next person. And it is kind of like a way of multiplying your vote. So I, I'm gonna make sure I do that on the 19th.

Same.

And maximize what they can do in Illinois. Now, I understand we may not have much of a chance in Illinois, but I still want to fight the battle as much as I can because even if they have to just defend it a little more or spend a little more in Illinois to keep it that way, then at least that takes money away from somewhere else.

Um, also, uh, let me see. Hang on. Um, you guys, I watched a— um, wait a minute, let me tell Akira one thing. Akira, if you can hear me, if you scroll down a little bit and you'll see your picture at the bottom—I mean, you'll see your name at the bottom. There's two icons: one's a microphone and one's a camera. Just click on each one, Akira, and that will enable your microphone and your camera, and then I can bring you up on stage when you're ready. You guys, I watched a. Uh, interview with Rod Blagojevich, who I was never interested in. And I— okay, so I think it was Tucker Carlson last year, and if it wasn't Tucker, it was Joe Rogan or Lex Fridman. It was like a longer interview. I think it was Tucker. Wow. I— okay, so it started off and I was like, oh, let's see how long I can last. I'll be bored, I know it. It was one of the best interviews I ever heard, and What he revealed and the things he was talking about were so interesting, and I have so much sympathy for him now because he was, he was just shafted so bad. So I highly recommend you guys looking up the Rod Blagojevich interview. I think it was with Tucker. So if you can, if you hate Tucker, you can just hold your nose and listen to Rod. It was an amazing interview. It might have been Rogan too. Let me just see if Akira is writing back to me. I cannot wait. So Akira the Don is here, and you know, we play his, his amazing creations at the end of every show, and he has a new collab. I love calling it a collab with Scott Adams today that he's gonna debut here on the show. And Akira, if you heard me, in the little box where your profile picture is, just click that little burgundy button, that little reddish button. One is for your microphone, one's for your camera, and that will enable them. Otherwise, text me or call me and I'll walk you through it. And, um, in the meantime, Owen's going to give us some more news because, uh, we have— we totally have time. I love it.

Well, I— on the same sort of topic, uh, the Harry Enten, which Scott often liked to talk about, uh, is saying that the Republican voter registration is way up in a lot of the key swing states. So again, this is another sign that maybe things are not as bad as people make it seem for midterms, that the voter registration is really in our favor in a lot of the places that matter. So kudos to Scott Pressler and all the other people that have been working really hard on that. But it looks like the numbers are really pointing to having a big lead on getting new voters registered. And that includes Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Um, and so, you know, I think there, again, that's maybe a sign. It may or may not happen, so don't get relaxed about it, but I think it could mean that we're going to see some more Republicans voting than people were expecting in the polls.

I call it, yeah, I call it the Scott Pressler effect. I, I mean, I think he's inspired a lot of people to do that. Um, you guys, what with my Ts, I'm sorry, getting Erica to pronounce Ts is something scientists just haven't figured out yet. Um, SJV, coming from you, that is rich with your accent, but I will work on my T's for all y'all. Okay, that is hysterical. Um, that was hysterical. Um, okay, so Owen, keep going.

Well, apparently, uh, there, there was a sexual assault in a Planet Fitness with a trans sort of thing. Um, You know, I think, uh, J.K. Rowling posted about it and said it's kind of like the thing that never happens that happened again. This is in Massachusetts. Um, police responded in Cambridge to a sexual assault in progress at the Planet Fitness in Porter Square, and it looks like a man went into the women's locker room and sexually assaulted people. Um, and so, you know, another instance of where someone just is a man in a woman's locker room and it's not safe. And I don't know if it says for sure if this person was trans or not, but it certainly was a man that went into the women's locker room. And there was another incident like this in 2023 where somebody exposed themselves to a 15-year-old girl and a 19-year-old female employee at another Planet Fitness. So seems like Planet Fitness has some work to do to make it safe for women.

Can we just, just say it? I mean, this whole transgender thing, uh, switching your gender, which is— you obviously, it's impossible to do. Um, this is just a mental illness that everybody has affirmed. I know this is like, duh, Erica, like, we know, we've talked about this, but why do we keep pretending that this is okay and acceptable for a decent society. It's not. And I'm— I'll say it as the token woman here right now. If I ever walked into a locker room, a changing room, a woman's restroom, and there's a man in there, that's a fucking problem. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But if you're a woman, you're totally on board with what I'm saying. You know, I don't care if it's a slight man, a smaller man, You're still at a disadvantage as a woman, okay? And it's sick and gross, it's perverted, it's uncivilized, and I'm so freaking sick of us, you know, with this another suicidal empathy of, no, no, we have to, we have to say it's okay. Like, they're confused. Yeah, they're confused and they need mental health care. And good luck getting that too, because now the mental health industry has become a bunch of woke people that are like, yeah, you should transition. I mean, it's it's just it's just crazy and it's dangerous. You know yesterday I was at a store and I needed to use the restroom, and I'm like, you know what? I'm just not going in because I just don't know what I'm gonna face, and I'm not gonna put myself in that position. So I literally was just like, just suck it up, buttercup, until you get home. But that was my thought that like what if I go in there and now there's a man in there? Literally, that was my thought. And you guys know I'm I ain't no chicken. But I was like, I'm not doing it. So I don't know, I would unjoin Planet Fitness and move on to somewhere else.

Yeah, I don't know why any women would continue going there at this point because it seems like they're taking a risk every time they go into the changing room.

Yeah, I mean, it's a sick— and these people are, you know, when you think about how small The population of people who are pretending that they're transitioned is, and all of the accommodations and disgusting things we've done to accommodate these mentally ill people. Um, how many of them are the ones that are— that like, uh, some gender-confused person just killed a woman hiking because he said he was mad at her because he wants to look like her. These people are the ones shooting up schools. Not all of them, you guys, like we know, but let's just—

I just, I think this is a perfect example of Gad Saad's suicidal empathy where it's like, oh, we got to protect people's feelings. We got to make these trans people feel like they really are a woman and we need to all basically pretend that we think they're a real woman and then we're going to treat them exactly like we would treat a biological woman. And so we can't tell them they can't go in the locker room with the other women and we can't, you know, have separate bathrooms that are multi-gender, that are individual or whatever. And, um, you know, it just seems so absurd to me. But the— of course, the problem is maybe there are some trans people that would never do anything like that, and, you know, whatever. But it doesn't matter if there's others that are going to take advantage of this. You have to have a system that works, and this system does not work because you're, you're basically enabling people who are sexual predators to have access to women and when they're taking off their clothes. And it's a private room where you're not necessarily going to have a lot of other people around to see what's happening.

It's a shame, you guys. You know, like, think about it. You know, one day we're all going to be older, or we have parents that are older, or grandparents, you know, your favorite aunt, your neighbor. They're going into these bathrooms or these changing rooms. You could be at a department store. And who knows what you're going to face, right? And I hate to think about— I mean, I know this sounds crazy, and if anyone has ever had this thought, let me know that I'm not the only crazy one. But, you know, when my father was like, let's say the last like 5 years of his life, he was in a lot of agony. He had a lot of pain and issues. And I was always so afraid that he was going to be hurt by someone, like some deranged lunatic would like take out some issue on my dad and he wouldn't be able to defend himself. And I didn't feel like that before in my life because I felt like people were generally decent and our society was civil. And, you know, after he passed away and like the dust settled, I was like, you know what? I had like this sense of relief that nothing would happen to him now. Like this thing, like I worried every single day about the things that could potentially happen to any, any older person, any senior. So. I hate feeling that way in our own country, but I do. I do. Chunks. All right. So Akira, text me back. I don't know if you heard me. I see you sitting there, but you don't have your camera or microphone on. And I want to help you. I want— and Owen's just going to run out of news stories. No, we never run out of news. We never run out of news. It's America. But Owen, you just keep going.

All right. Well, keeping with that theme, the Trump administration is launching a federal probe into staff-on-student sexual misconduct at New York City public schools. So apparently we're going to have some oversight over this that apparently the Trump administration feels like there's too much students being preda— or I guess teachers being predators against students. And they're going to look at it under the Title IX rules. And apparently they're saying the reports indicate there have been almost 2,000 instances where school staff have done some sexual misconduct with students. So they're going to be cracking down on that.

Wait, did— now I love throwing curveballs. Did you guys see? And then Owen's like, oh God, where is she going? Did you guys see that a 6-year-old shot his teacher?

Yeah.

Anyone see this? A 6-year-old. And then there's like footage. He— I think he shot the shot. He shot— a 6-year-old shot his teacher. And then you hear him just— you hear exactly where it came from. You can hear it's like how he's treated at home. The stuff he was saying to her, zero regret, remorse. He was just like doubling down, like cursing her out. The police were there. It was so sad and insane that this kid's family obviously destroyed this kid's life. And, um, I don't know, I, I, I just— the schools are insanity. It's like, I feel bad for these people that don't have like the safety of their school, of an education, of a safe family. Ugh, I don't know, where was that, you guys? Um, somebody wrote it. I don't know, but it, it's just really scary. I'll let, uh— oh, what do I see? Erica sees squirrels all the time. SJV, why do your comments stick out so hard for me? It's so funny. Um, I looked at it.

For some reason today I can't even see the Locals comments.

I see YouTube and Rumble, but I don't see Locals Okay, well, you should be chastising, chastising SJV later for me. Okay, so Owen, let's just, let's just— oh, Akira said he can hear us and see us, but he's having an audio issue. And audio is going to be pretty important. So we're going to hope he, he gets that resolved. All right, Owen, keep going. All right.

Well, ma'am, Domi apparently has a plan to fight antisemitism. And when they looked into it, part of that plan is to double the funding for one of the anti-Jewish or anti-Israel organizations that was previously led by Linda Sarsour, who you might recognize the name as one of the people that were— was against Jewish people pretty strongly. Um, and so it looks like this PATH organization, which is Partners Against the Hate supposedly, They're allocating $6.4 million to go to that, which is double the program's funding from the last year. And they're partnered with the Arab American Association of New York, which Sarsour led for more than a decade. They supported the Columbia University Gaza encampment and a whole bunch of other anti-Israel protests. So apparently, Ma'mdani's definition of fighting antisemitism is to promote antisemitism.

It's amazing. That's amazing how that works. Where has Linda Sarsour been? Not that I'm— I don't want to like summon her like Beetlejuice, but she's a problem for sure. Um, oh, that's, that's, that's so great that he wants to do that. And you know, he made a comment, uh, yesterday about October 7th, and I'm like, please just don't, just don't. Um, but you know, New York, you're stuck with him now. So, um, Akira, Akira, if you can hear me, I'm gonna kick you out. I just kicked you out, and then I'm gonna resend you a link and see if you can get back in. You guys, we need our Akira. And oh, Owen, you're just like, uh, Dan Rather today.

Yeah, it's all right. Um, we like it. I think, uh, there was apparently some, uh, report that came out about how much fraud we've had, and it apparently adds up to $3 trillion over the last 20 years or so. I think it's through 2003, so maybe 25 years. But yeah, apparently the— this founding— Foundation for Government Accountability report says it's about $3 trillion that have been lost to fraud, and that adds up to about $521 billion every year. So it's about 7% of the federal budget.

Wow.

And, uh, I don't even know if that's all of it. I mean, we're still finding more all the time. So, um, it looks like only 64 out of 2,200 federal payment programs are reviewed for improper payments every year. Uh, so there's just like no oversight. It's just like sign the checks, let it go, don't even look at it, don't even review it, just, you know, spend the money.

It's like what David Spade was just saying. It's like, don't ask, Don't tell.

Yeah, it's probably just as bad at the federal level, or at least it was, um, as it was in California. And I think, um, you know, I do think the Trump administration is doing a lot more than anyone ever has in the past to try and clean it up. I think it started with Doge, so I would give Elon Musk some credit to say this is ridiculous that you have these payments that aren't even categorized. It doesn't even say what it's for. It's just a bunch of checks going out that are completely like just, you know, we paid this much to this person and that's all it says. And, um, you know, I'm sure that was probably a wake-up call that then got rolling into the Vance Anti-Fraud Task Force. And so I think we're doing a lot to help with this, but I'm sure we have a long way to go still. And I'm guessing if we continue on this path, it'll be a lot higher than $3 trillion. But this is a massive part of our budget. I mean, 7% is pretty big when you're talking about the federal budget.

Yeah. Wow. I'd love to bring Doge back. Why can't we just bring it back? I know we have Vance's thing now, but, and also we have like little mini Doges around like Nick Shirley. Um, but I, I, I think we should bring it back. I don't know. That's just me, you guys. But a lot of stuff was found out when Elon started that and, and bless big balls and he got attacked and that was awful. Like, uh, shocking that Americans haven't demanded answers and oversight. So far, but now we're getting it, and it's like if we you know if we didn't see this happening now, would it ever have happened? I don't think so. I think you're right, Owen. It started with Elon with Doge, and now it's like wait a minute, what else is happening? And people are digging in, and I know chunks. It feels like nobody's doing anything about it now, but I think they are. Beverly says we could bring Doge back. Enough time has passed. Whoops, I lost it. It can be started up again for 90 days or so. I would— I'm all for it. Let's see what else we can dig up.

Bring back Big Balls.

Yes, come on, Big Balls, come back. Oh, you guys, that was— that was his username. He worked for Elon and his user handle was Big Balls. And he's like this young guy who is just brilliant. They all work so hard, the whole Doge team. I would love to see it. Um, all right. Oh, and we got— so Akira, you guys, Um, he's trying and trying, and I think what we're gonna do is just let him off the hook and ask him to come back tomorrow. So if we're all okay with that, that way we'll have like the full chunk of time with Akira. So Owen's gonna close us out with a little bit more news, and then we'll ask Akira to come back tomorrow.

So, all right, well, Katie Wilson, everybody's favorite socialist mayor of Seattle, um, she's apparently endorsing claims that Christian Zionists and Silicon Valley billionaires are trying to create a nuclear Armageddon so that Jews can profit off the Gaza condos.

What?

Not really sure where this is coming from, but apparently there was this presentation that included Trump, Netanyahu, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Palantir, and they think they're trying to create this end-times fascism. And, uh, she's calling the war on Gaza— in Gaza genocide, and Celebrating the WTO riots, and doesn't happen to even mention October seventh as if that wasn't relevant to this.

That's insane. She is insane. She lives with her parents, right?

I don't know that, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me.

I think she's the one that lives with her parents still. Oh my gosh! Again, another gorgeous state that's just. Like destroyed. It's so sad. Wow. All right. Oh, and let's see how much more you can do in 3 minutes. This is fun. I'm like, I'm loving this info. It's so good.

All right. Well, uh, Gallup is telling us that the K-12 satisfaction rate is at a record low. It's lower than Cuba in communism. Um, apparently only 32% of American adults are satisfied with the K-12 education system. It's the lowest in Gallup's 27 years of asking about it. Uh, dropped almost 20 points just since 2024, so it's tanking. And universities are saying that students are going to college without basic math skills and the system is just trying to protect itself. So education is just a disaster.

Oh, it's so sad. It's so sad, you guys. I know the kids can't read, they can't do math, nobody can write anymore. So sad. Um, yeah, I'm dissatisfied on behalf of parents and children everywhere. Um, all right, Owen. Uh, who just said that? Goldie. Goldie's like, I love this format. Me too. I feel like I'm reading— I'm like reading the newspaper with Owen. Like, Owen's just like, and here, take this.

Well, I know we're almost out of time. One more maybe. Um, the ICE has had some more successes getting rid of the worst of the worst.

Um, Wait, ICE? You said ICE?

ICE, yes.

Okay.

Which I, which I, which I would still suggest they change to NICE.

I know.

But, you know, if you have the National Immigration Customs Enforcement or whatever that's called, you know, that, that would be good. But, um, they apparently have rounded up a bunch of people again, including pedophiles and animal abusers. Um, there's a bunch that were guilty of sexual assault, animal abuse, drug charges. One example was at his Canales Montoya of Honduras. He was convicted of sexual conduct against a child. There was another person, Carlos Arturo Zelaya Argueta of El Salvador, and he was apparently convicted of sexual abuse of an animal. So not sure what happened there, but not good. And apparently there's a 1,600% increase in assaults against ICE officers at the same time. So A lot of back and forth and conflict going on there, but looks like we're getting rid of the worst of the worst.

All right. So I am— 2 of my least favorite types of people are pedophiles and animal abusers. So let's go. Oh, and Stella's in here right on cue. How does she know?

Stella doesn't like it either. Stella doesn't like animal abuse.

No, no. She doesn't mind human abuse. Like when she meowed for an hour straight this morning. Like straight, like just just into the ether. I'm like, what are we doing? I know that you want to eat, and I'll be there in a minute. Stella, come say hi. Come here. Come here. Okay, there she is. She's purring. She's meowing. She doesn't know what's going on. So you guys, I'm so I know. Isn't that crazy? She knows she's hardwired that she's like your show's over, lady. So I'm really sorry that Akira couldn't get in today, and he is too. But guess what? We get him tomorrow. We got a ton of news stories in today. It was a lot of fun. And Marcella did have a meeting, and she told me prior that she would be leaving at, uh, 7:30 her time. So she's boiling hot. She had a meeting to get to. And, you know, listen, this is, this is how it goes on a live stream. So, um, she's annoyed. The cat's annoyed for sure. Um, so Akira will be back tomorrow. We'll do the same thing. We'll do, you know, maybe, um, a little Scott something something to start, and then we'll have Akira come in to take us out for the weekend, which will be really nice. So that's actually— that's even better. It's a better way to end the week. Owen, thank you. You're such a pro. This is why Owen's got all those news stories ready. He has an army helping him in the background. So that was so helpful.

Amen.

And yeah, it was really good. Thank you. I learned a lot today. Um, I sometimes I'll, I'll message Owen and Marcella and say like, here's what we're doing. And today you guys teach me the news. And so they were ready. Owen was prepared as always. Um, and I get nervous because, you know, I like a lot of clips, you guys. And I'm like, ooh, I didn't pull a lot of clips. So I get a little nervous and, uh, I'll work my piece.

We got your back here.

We got you back. We got you back. I know, I know. I love it. And SJV, I'll work on my T's when I start yelling at you with lots of words with T's in it.

Is that the letter T's or the word tease? The letter.

You need to work on your teasing? No, the letter T. Sometimes I get some guff from the chatters about my pronunciation and I'm like, listen, what are you going to do?

I've never noticed an issue with that.

Thank you, Owen. Thank you. And thank you to all of you that are like, I don't change, Erica, we love the way you talk. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I love all of you guys. Even you, SJB. I told you you're growing on me. Okay, you guys, so listen, tomorrow we'll be back. Like we said, we'll close out the week with the home team and with Akira and with a new Collab with our beloved Scott Adams. I can't wait to add a new song to our roster. It'll be great. And as always, we want to say thank you to Scott and Shelley for allowing this show to even exist and be here and be continuing. And thank you to every single one of you that come in here during the live show, during the replay, whether you're chatting or listening or driving to work on Spotify, everybody. Please do hit the like and subscribe and then ring the little notification bell. That will help you to find us when we do go live, and it also helps us get noticed on the platforms. Like, it'll, it'll give us a little bit more bulk in the algorithm, if you will. So we appreciate that. Okay, so listen, you guys, let's go out there. Have a great rest of your day. Be useful. Be aware. Be a honey badger. And Owen and I will see you tomorrow with Marcella also. Okay, so a closing sip to our beloved Scott Adams. To Scott, be useful, be useful. Stella said be useful too. Okay, you guys, don't worry, we're doing an Akira song. Don't even think I would skip that. Owen, I don't know if you can stay. Oh, Stella said let's go. Let's do For Freedom. For Freedom, here we go.

Here are the other buttons, which are mostly self-explanatory, but freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom. You can say, would you like a bad life with freedom or a good life with no freedom? And people will take the bad life with freedom. So if you ever have a chance to create a situation where you can offer someone more freedom, that's very powerful. That's a button. And you should get as much for yourself as you can, and you can use it as a tool to help other people get what they want. Because they will trade a lot for freedom. Because they will trade a lot for freedom. People will trade a lot for freedom. Because they will trade a lot for freedom. And freedom can come in the form of getting money, that gives you freedom, having Having a flexible schedule gives you freedom. Being in the right kind of social situation gives you freedom. So there's lots of ways to get it. Fear is a motivator. I don't recommend using it unless you're trying to save somebody. Yeah, you could use fear to keep them from smoking cigarettes, for example. Yeah, I wouldn't use this in the evil way. Curiosity is one of the most important and overlooked buttons on the human interface. You can see that authors that are good at it will make you curious at the end of a chapter so that you'll want to keep reading. So that you'll want to keep reading. Building curiosity into things is a really, really important button. When you can stoke somebody's curiosity, you can really They shape what they do, and you can shape your environment through curiosity. Very, very powerful. But freedom is a big thing. People will trade a lot for freedom. They will trade a lot for freedom. People will trade a lot For freedom. They will trade a lot.

For freedom.

I love it. I love it. That is such an awesome song, and Akira is a genius at putting the right tempo and music to Scott's words. So good, Owen.

Yeah, that's great.

He does, you know, he does have like a Prince-like capability where he's got like really cool change-ups and different like twists to his songs. Sometimes it's like a little jazz change-up or like that skipping repeat right there. He's very, very talented.

Great ear. Yeah, the cure is great.

Yeah. All right, are you running? I am.

I'm heading off to work.

All right, enjoyed spending time with all of you. Yay! All right, I'll see you tomorrow in the morning. All right. Okay guys, bye-o. So we'll say our goodbyes. Goodbye, goodbye. Oh, I like when the chat's over my face like this. Oh, like as it comes out of my mouth so many times, I'm like, why, why, why? Um, yeah, he's great. Okay, you guys, so, um, I'll see you tomorrow. We'll say our goodbyes. Stella's like, hang up, hang it up, lady. Aww, love the pictures.

Crank one.

Do you hear her? No, you guys, for an hour this morning, this for an hour. I promise she's not starved. She's just— she knows she's my little princess because she's old now and like a little sick and all that stuff, but she doesn't know she's sick. But she just knows she can manipulate me, and it works. What are you gonna do? All right, love you guys. We'll see you tomorrow with Akira. And I fear the same thing, Ramblin' Doug. I think the danger is people will trade freedom for security. But we can't. We can't let them. We can't let them. Stella, Patty, literally all day long. Where is Sandy? She just messaged me. That's a good question. She she did DM me, I think during the show. I'll find out. I know I miss seeing her in here. Where where the heck did you go, Sandy? Oh, look at the bear! Oh my gosh, so cute! Bye, Flynn Lizzy. Oh, I'm gonna go try that powdered peanut butter experiment right now too. All right, bye guys. I'll sit here all day like just chatting and reading, but you know. I have to actually go work. All right, love you. See you tomorrow.

Bye.
