The sign is 145 inches By 105 inches It is one of two Of the original iconic Twitter Blue Bird logos That was on top of the Twitter building in San Francisco It has been auctioned off

for $34,375. So they waited too long because the original stuff, they had initially thought that this would get at least $40,000. And the original, there were two of them, two of the big birds. That got auctioned off when Elon came in and said, everything must go.

And everything got auctioned off, including one of the big bluebirds for an undisclosed price, an undisclosed buyer. So nobody knows who has it. It may show up here. You know, Mercury 1, American... American Journey Experience.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what it's called. The American Journey Experience. Maybe they bought it. It's a seminar in April. Go to the website. A-D. Look it up.

Okay, thank you. Whatever stupid name they call it. Anyway, I'm sure that they... I'm sure they may have purchased it. We may see the big giant... iconic Twitter bird here at Mercury Studios in DFW. I don't know that though. So, I mean, it'd be kind of cool to have.

I don't know what, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to put it in the backyard? Have this giant Twitter logo in your backyard. So whoever bought it, though, is responsible for moving it. And the auction house said, yeah, you can buy it. And we'll tell, we won't tell people your name. and you can't have it, but you're going to have to move it. I mean, we all saw the video of the crane and the construction workers taking it down.

So it's going to take some work for you to get that bad boy delivered. It's only, like I said, 12 feet by 8 feet, weighs 560 pounds, 145 inches by 105 inches. You're not just tossing that in the trunk. That is not happening. So you will be responsible for the traveling expenses. getting it to where you got to get it to. But it'd be kind of cool to have, wouldn't it? I still, I still really am weirded out, that Elon weirded out.

That's a strange way to put it. I am, and it's not weirded out. It's like I don't understand why he didn't just continue to leave it Twitter. Because everyone calls it Twitter. It's X now, I know, I know it's X. I got it. I've made a big deal about it. It's X and you post on X, you don't tweet.

really the iconic app is Twitter. And it's like people still call it. It was part of our fabric. And it could still be under the X umbrella, but it would be, you know, Twitter under X or Twitter on X or something. I just don't, you made such a big deal out of just, you know,

kicking Twitter to the curb and calling it X. And I guess, you know what? You know what? It was his 44 billion. He could do what he wants with it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So speaking to Elon, it's his fault that the world thinks that we were being invaded by UFOs the other day.

The big blue spiral shining in the sky that was, they were coming to Earth. And people in Sweden, Poland and Hungary and Croatia all saw it with their own eyes. And then the rest of us saw it on social media. And it was this swirl that was swore. that was swirling up in the sky and we were being invaded by UFOs coming into our atmosphere. Yeah.

No, the illuminated swirl in the sky. Oh, yeah. No, that was caused by one of Elon's rockets. Yeah, it was crafted after the rocket's first stage booster, which blasted it off the ground, separated, and the upper stage took over. As the booster fell back to Earth, it vented leftover fuel,

which froze into reflective crystals. The crystals then caught the sunlight, creating the bright spiral pattern in the sky. The spiral shape happened because the tumbling rocket was spinning as it released the fuel. So we have to believe that, I guess. Right? That's what they said.

That's what we have to believe. It was not any kind of unidentified flying object or spaceship coming in. Well, it was a spaceship, actually. But it wasn't a... Right! Maybe that was going on. Maybe they were just doing a little business.

Blue Origin wishes it was them. I'll tell you that. So, I mean, there you go. I know. I was bummed too. I thought those damn UFOs were here, but no, no, they weren't. Okay. So, in Japan, there was a man who was on death row

since 1968. He's now 89 years old. Iowa Hakamara 89 89 I-W-A-O

H-A-M-A-M-A-T-A-M-A-T-A-A-K-A-M-A-A-K-A-M-A-G He was found guilty in 1968 of killing his boss, his boss's wife, and their two children. Now, he was just given a retrial and acquitted. They found him

innocent wow he is the longest serving death row inmate in the world and apparently according to his lawyers that took a toll on his mental health you think

so they believe that there was evidence planted to get his conviction and you know he was acquitted in the retrial and now he's going to get $217 million yen.

I know, I don't know what that is either, but they claim that it's going to be $1.45 million. So $217 million yen is only worth a million, $1,045. So, I mean, good for him, but he's really sick. He didn't even go to the retrial. He didn't go to any of the hearings where he was acquitted. He's been, his 91-year-old sister has been taken care of.

of him. So, I mean, he's just really, and he's not well at all. And he's got deteriorated mental health and obviously other issues health-wise. And people were all around in, uh, at the court in Shazuka, which is a city in Japan's south coast. You know that. Uh, where the judge handed down the acquittal to loud tears of bonsai, bonsai, bonsai. Banzai. That's what the They were cheering. Apparently that's hooray. Arriva, no, that's a different country.

They were not cheering that. They may have, you know, who knows? Who knows? When everybody's cheering, Bazet, boz-z-e! You might have someone cheering that in the background. We don't know. I did not see any of the,

they did not see any of the video of the people cheering outside the courtroom. So it's possible that that actually happened. But good for him. Wow, I mean, this is an argument for the death penalty people, like myself. that say, you know, if they'd put him to death, then the way it worked out is that we put the wrong man to death, right, for these murders.

I know, I know, don't look at me like that. Wait a second. Okay, so now here at the bottom of the story, it says that he had lived under the care of his 91-year-old sister, which I talked about, and he has lived under her care since being granted a retrial and released from prison in 2014. The sister had fought for decades to clear her brother's name.

So he wasn't even in prison. I guess maybe technically he was still on death row. But he was living with his sister. That's how bad a guy he really was. Yeah, just let him live with his sister. He's still on death row. And then it took all this time from 2014 to now to get this finally taken care of.

Wow. Holy cow. And it worked out to his advantage. Wow, just incredible. Good for him. Good for him. Now I want to know who killed the boss, the boss's wife and the two children in 1968. Will we ever know? I don't think so. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

It's just, that's gorgeous. I know I love Chicago, but then there's that whole murder thing. So in the fast four years, America's infrastructure has improved. Yes, the Americas. The Americas, that's us, the United States of Americas. The infrastructure has improved. So apparently every four years we get a report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the ASCE, love them. And they have given the United States an overall grade of C. I mean, we're up. We were a C minus in 2021. So we've got to, we upped our grade a little bit.

And this time, now up yours. So a consistent D ranged grades since the start of the testing in 1998. Okay, oh, that's not good. So the ASCE, a 72 year old group, headquartered in Reston, Virginia. I mean, I know they're beautiful. They examined conditions of 18 categories, such as aviation, bridges, drinking water, public parks, solid waste management, wastewater treatment.

The highest grade went to ports, which received a B. Hmm. We haven't ships going into bridges? While the lowest grade was a D for stormwater utilities and public transit. Yeah, we Americans like to drive places.

An A means facilities meet modern standards for functionality, while an F means in an unacceptable condition with widespread of ads on the deterioration. Yeah, yeah. the ASCE credited improvements made in the last four years to the $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment in jobs act, which allocates $550 billion over five years to systems including bridges, roads, broadband, water, and energy.

Uh-huh. See where that money goes. So then it goes on to talk about two categories of Southern grades dip, energy and rail. energy got a D plus and rail got a B minus okay I mean energy got a D minus that's probably true I mean we have all kinds of all kinds of infrastructure businesses being built that need energy AI

EVs and I don't know if you know this just my home it needs power okay I like to be able to walk into my house and click a switch, push a switch, and the light comes on. I like that. I don't want to start a fire. I don't want to have to call the power company and say, hey, is it brownout time? You receive power next hour. No, I like to be able to push the switch and have the light come on.

So according to the ASCE, an estimated $9.1 trillion would be needed to ensure all 18 categories reach a state of good repair. That's it, though. That's it. Only $5.4 trillion in public and private investments will be made through 2033. So we need to choose properly where we spend a little bit of that money. And for sure, we need to spend that on energy. Rail, I mean, do we care about Amtrak?

no we don't I want the rail infrastructure to be working I mean I like seeing the rail coming into Fort Worth with coal on it it means that I'm going to be able to turn the light on when I hit the switch when I see the coal cars rolling in on those train tracks

now that's okay I want to keep I know that they work I know that those train companies continue to upgrade those rails because I'm detoured quite often not only by the trains but by the construction and that's okay that's okay As frustrated as I am sometimes, I'm like, nope, that's okay.

They've got to make sure it's right. So I know, I know. I don't like it. You don't like it. But we have to, we have to withstand it. Okay? All right. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cool to drink desperately. So what are you watching? I know that the studio starts on Apple TV Plus today. a new series starring Seth Rogen that's supposed to lampoon Hollywood so we'll see if we'll see how that show goes um

Bosch the final season Bosch Legacy starts tomorrow I'm actually looking forward to that I that should be fun I mean I love Bosch the character on Prime

and he's you know the Bosch legacy is the final and this is the last one right there he's done doing bosh i think for prime anyway titus williver and so um will that new season starts tomorrow which i'm looking forward to and there was another show that uh oh adolescence we talked about adolescence um uh they are now the most uh most views of any limited series on netflix they've got 66.3 million views on netflix so they're pretty good the audience received that show pretty good. They opened with

$24.3 million in the first four days and then during the week of March 17th to the 23rd another 42 million views. I believe that this show had something to do with that. So thank you Netflix, you're welcome. Thank you to my listeners for going

there and viewing adolescents. We talked about that show and I enjoyed it. And then we found out that it was, as far as I know, it wasn't really based on anything but I guess it was based based on a teenager that stabbed the girl and it wasn't a white family

in suburban Wales or wherever the hell this city was outside of London so yeah Rochester or whatever the hell it was and so we have to be mad at it I thought it was really good I thought it was well done so if you have a chance and you haven't seen it definitely get a chance to see it

And then I saw where, shoot, I was going to congratulate Dolly Parton. Where was Dolly's story? Yeah, congratulations to Dolly because she laid down the law, apparently. The insiders say, Dolly laid down the law. She did a co-lab with Sabrina Carpenter on a new remix song, Please, Please, Please. and before they went to work,

Dolly said, hey, we're not going to be disrespect to Jesus, and I don't want any of language to be used. And Sabrina was like, yeah, okay, no problem. And if she said, of course, she can talk a little bad now and then. I said, now I don't cuss, and I don't make fun of Jesus, and I don't talk bad about God, and I don't say dirty words on camera.

But no, if I get mad, I do swear sometimes if I get mad enough. But Sabrina was okay with it. She apparently, there's a line in it, and of course we all know the please, please, please, song, duh. There's a line in it that says, I beg you, don't embarrass me, mother effer.

All right? You know what? I'm sick of not being able to say that. word. I really am. Because the line is, I beg you, don't embarrass me, mother-h-h-h-h-h-h-her. I just hate that. I hate that I can't say that. Like I just did.

But in the remixed track, the lyric in the chorus is I beg you, don't embarrass me like the others. So, do we have this on? Let's hear a little, please, please.

Dolly and Sabrina. Oh. I already bored. Go. I fast forward through a little bit. That you're an actor, so I'll like a stand-up guy. Whatever devil's inside you. Don't let him out tonight.

I tell them it's just your culture. And everyone rolls their eyes, yeah, I'm a baby. Please, please, please. Come prove I'm right. All right. That's gotten awful. But I'm glad Dally did the co-la. I'm sure that, I'm sure it's fine.

It's going to be a big hit and everyone will love it. But me. And I think I like this, but I don't know if I do or not. Not, I mean, the dolly and Sabrina. No, it's just boring. But this story, according to this, for the first time, a feature film dubbed entirely with AI is hitting the American theaters.

As the Swedish sci-fi adventure, Watch the Skies, lands at a hundred screen distribution deal with AMC theaters. Okay, now let's try to make a little bit of money. Unlike traditional foreign releases, audiences won't see subtitles. Instead, according to this story, flawless AI has digitally altered mouth movements and speech to create perfectly synced English dialogue using the original actors' voices.

Yeah, I kind of like that's where you get me that I like, because when there's so many shows, like I'm a fan of detectives, you know, if you're a struggling detective and you're trying to solve murders, I'm in, I'm watching it. And I get a lot of those from Europe,

a lot of European struggling detectives, you know, and then they're trying to solve a murder. And so it's in their language. And so you can either switch it to English and they have American voices, someone else. So sometimes it's not quite fitting to the character. It really kind of irks me.

So I'd rather have the subtitles and just hear their regular voices and just read it, read what they're saying in English. And so, I mean, that's just me. And I know. And I can still use the subtitles. Whether they have the AI voice or not, okay? If I'm deaf and I want to know what they're saying, I can still use it, okay?

Don't tell me what I can and can't do. But if they're going to use the original, you know, the actor's voices, and that makes it a little bit better for me because I like the idea of hearing the actual actor's voice. So

the technology is fully sag after compliant too. Really? Interesting. Representing a notable case study in ethical AI implementation that respects performers' rights rather than replacing actors. Well, now you're

respecting performing performers. performers rights, but you're taking away jobs for American voice actors. They're saying this is SAG approved because they're digitally altering it, but they're still using the actors, right? And so, I don't know. Well, that's a fine line. But we'll see how it goes. So AMC is betting on the tech and its ability to break language barriers. They've committed prime screens across 20 major markets for a May 9th release.

For foreign filmmakers, this tech promises a show. shortcut from local stage to global stage, potentially diversifying theatrical offerings beyond Hollywood productions. Okay. So that's coming. We'll see how that pans out. I'm for it, but I don't think I'm all the way for it because we were already costing jobs, right?

I mean, you're costing, if I make a foreign film, I'm one of them damn foreigners, not making a film. And I want it to come to the States. then I want to put it on Netflix and I need voiceovers, right? So you're going to hire people do the voiceovers and do the thing. My first wife used to type up all the scripts

for what was actually said in TV shows. She worked on, I forget a couple of TV shows that she would do. They would send her the script and the video. So that, because a lot of times the video audio, of what actually took place isn't what's in the script. So you have to type up exactly what said in the video

so that if they have to voice it over at any time, they have the actual verbiage that was said. Fascinating. Anyway, we'll see if that works out. So AI touching every aspect of your life. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost almost anything. thing. So no, you can't get a nice

He was appointed co-CEO of Samsung Electronics in December of 2021. He headed the electronic smartphone and consumer electronics business. He died of cardiac arrest at the age of 63. Now, are we saying that this was just something that happened? Or was it brought up?

Don from that Don, the co-CEO, Jean-Yung-Hoyne. J-U-N-Yan-H-Y-N. John-Yung. John-J-Hung. He is the co-CEO of Samsung. So, did Jean-Yung have something to do with Junkhee? Just ask you questions. That's all I'm doing.

I'm just asking questions. Rest in peace. to Zhang Hean dead at the age of 63. Then this story, I don't know what to make of this story. So former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, his 14-year-old son died as they were on vacation in Costa Rica at this Costa Rican resort. They claim that he died of asphyxiation

while on vacation with his family. Now, he was staying at this, what they call it, upscale, arenas, Del Mar Beach, Fronten, Rainforest Resort, and the Pacific Coast. Yeah, we got it, okay? You were staying at the, you were saying at the, well, that's not the four seasons. Maybe it is the four seasons of Costa Rica.

It's the tourist hotspot. Okay. So he fell seriously ill alongside with several members of his family. Interesting. And then he died. Sudden death. Oh, okay. could have been possible intoxication,

bad food, asphyxiation is what they're calling it. All right. So you got it. You got it. He died of asphyxiation in Costa Rica. And rest in peace. I mean, that's just horrible.

You're on vacation and your 14-year-old son dies. No matter how he died. I mean, just terrible. Just terrible. So the officials are currently working with the family to transfer Miller's body back to the U.S. Yeah, make it happen. He's a citizen, send him back.

What the problem is? It's not difficult. There's the plane. There's the coffin. Put the coffin on the plane, ship it back to the U.S. And we're leaving about an hour. We're leaving about an hour. So I want you to make that happen, okay?

You don't need to worry about an autopsy in Costa Rica because we'll go ahead and take care of that when we get back to the United States, okay? So rest in peace to, I think his name was Miller. I think the 14-year-old son was Miller, but it is the son of Brett Gardner, his 14-year-old son, rest in peace. And then there's this guy, unnamed death

here and who died today, but there's video of a sinkhole opening up in South Korea Okay, so there's this giant sickle You see one car Barely gets out the belt was on the other The far side of the sinkhole Smashes the bottom of the car

Gets up on the other side You know, and it's all dented and smashed Because he's driving across When the sinkhole starts to sink I mean, whoo close You see another car Dive in I think let me see

I make sure that other car goes in What's this video again? See the other car move in No no no He didn't go in. Okay, so the one car that was kind of on top of the sinkhole when it started a sinkhole, he smashes through the other side and makes it, okay? And so he survives.

There's a motorcycle coming up behind this car right into the sinkhole, right into the sinkhole. And you think, okay, well, no problem. Wrong. That would be wrong thing. It is a no problem. the sinkhole 65 feet wide 65 feet deep

and they took 18 hours to find him 18 hours to find this guy they had to pump water out of the sinkhole and dig through a bunch of dirt and of course it's unclear

at the moment what caused this terrible sinkhole. Now according to reports and I don't have the accurate numbers from Seoul, South Korea. But Seoul has seen 223 sinkholes in the past nine years, caused by poor infrastructure, aging pipes, and evascavation accidents, according to a recent city government report.

Okay, so excavating accidents, poor infrastructure, aging pipes, are causing sinkholes in Seoul. That's my new documentary. sink holes and soul and as long as we're stuck in who died today I just want to let you know that we talked yesterday about Pope Francis being home and he rolls on

and he's fine and well he's not fine but he's out of urgent intensive care at the hospital and he's back at the Vatican but according to this report the medical team considered ending treatment when he came close to death

over the breathing issue during his hospitalization. Now what does that mean? Does that mean the doctors were thinking, eh, he's going to die? Why are we, what are we wasting this oxygen for on the Pope?

Man, we just shut that thing off and let him go. Are the other, are the cardinals or the bishops all behind the scenes going, go ahead and pull the plug, go ahead and pull the plug, pull up one. He's not going to make it. It doesn't look good.

No, just stop. Stop the oxygen, see if he can breathe without the oxygen. Go ahead, go ahead. You do it. I don't want to do it, but you do it, you do it. I mean, come on now. I get that he was really, really sick, but were we really considering,

legitimately considering? I don't know, we just take him off the oxygen. He's really sick. Can barely breathe. Coughing. We got him on some, we got him on some meds. He's bloating up nice.

Just pull the plug. And by pulling the plug, I mean, just take him off the oxygen. And if he makes it, he makes it. If he's the Pope, maybe he gets God to work for him. And, you know, he survives. If not, man, sucks to be him, huh?

Are we really doing that with the Pope? I think not. Oh, and we found out that we have the world's first case of bird flu in sheep in the UK. So the exact location of the farm has not been revealed, but a government spokesman said the case was identified on a site. in Yorkshire where bird flu had been confirmed in captive birds. We got captive birds with bird flu and sheep. A spokesman said the single infected sheep had been humanely called.

We just killed it. I mentioned they didn't even cock the gun. Well, you have to cock the gun to put the shell in. But I mean, they were not trying to scare them. It was just like, this one's got bird flu. All right. Yeah, we're done. It's over.

Have a nice day. But it was done humanely, I'm sure. No further cases among the flock were found after extensive testing. Yeah, no kidding. One of the sheep saw that one drop. He went and hit it out in the back 40. Even if I might have bird flu. I don't need to kill me.

There's no evidence, of course, to suggest an increased risk to the nation's livestock population. Uh-huh. So, while the risk to lie. livestock remains low. We're urging all animal owners to ensure scrupulous cleanliness is in place

and report any signs of infection of the animal plant health agency immediately. No. If I'm a single farmer in the UK in Yorkshire, it's Yorkshire, okay. If I'm a single farmer there and I think one of my sheep doesn't look like,

that sheep doesn't look too good, I may kill it myself, I'm sorry, I may humanely call it myself or I just don't say anything because I don't want them coming in and go, oh, looks like you're old, oh, that your old flock is sick. Yeah. They don't even have to load it. There's nothing they're not even cocking happening.

They just shoot. Amazing what the UK has. Anyway, so just be on the lookout. You're traveling in the UK at any time. Bird flu is in sheep. There's so many jokes to write about. sheep that I just go ahead and write your own. This episode is brought to you by Peloton.

Anyway, she was going to go to Greenland and be part of this U.S. delegation that was going to go there.

I want that to happen so bad. I just, plant the flag. You're ours now. We're taking it. No, I don't want to do. do that. No, I don't want to do that. I mean, if we have to, we will, but I don't want to do that.

I just want to, you know, plant the flag and say, do something. You're ours now. Okay? You just, you're ours. It's okay. You're a territory of the United States now. Period. Don't worry about, don't worry about the Denmark King whining and crying over

there. Don't worry about him. Don't worry about anybody else. You're our. Okay, we got you. I want that to happen desperately. Okay, so there's a question for you. What would you do? What would you do? Not about planning the flag in Greenland.

I don't care. I just want that to happen. But what would you do? There's people out there that gamble and they like to put money on things. I know. I know. So this guy bet $5 on a five bet parlay. Okay?

So we bet five bucks on a five bet parlay. So if all five of what he bets on happens, he wins, right? So he put five bucks on it. And if he wins the five bet parlay, he wins $168,300. Okay? All right. Four of the five have happened.

All right. This was posted by Hard Rock. Hard Rock bet, by the way. He bet, one of the, the first part of the parley, five-par parley, was the Tennessee volunteers, women's, girls,

females, the baseball team would win the World Series. Check. Number two, the Los Angeles Dodgers would win the World Series in baseball. Check. Number three, the Ohio State Buckeyes would win the national championship

in the NCAA football championships. Check. The Philadelphia Eagles would win the Super Bowl in the NFL. Check. I guess one more to go. That's a, that's a... in the college basketball. He claims that Duke

will win the national championship. They're still in the finals. Now, the question, what would you do? Do you let it ride? Or he could take a payout of $50,000 right now. Hard Rock say,

we'll give you a payout of $50 grand right now. Walk away. What do you do? You let it ride? You take the $50,000, and you're up $490,000. $49,000, $49,995. Yeah, be nice if we go to 500,000.

But you get the cash pay out of $50,000 and be done with it. Or as a gambler, you bet $5,000. Maybe you let it ride. Maybe you let it ride. I don't know. I'd be tough because he'd want to let it ride. Duke's in the Sweet 16, but you still got to get, what, one, two, three or four more games.

yet, right? Plus, that's tough, man. That's tough this year. I mean, could they win the national championship? Yeah, they could. But do you want to take that chance and be just out your five bucks if you're not and just frame the tweet from Hard Rock

saying, you had a chance! You had a chance! That was me, son. I learned my lesson. I could have had $50,000 richer. Instead, I'm $5 poor. and I'll get back to work because I'm not paying for your college.

Get out of here. I don't know, boy, that's a tough one. Because you want to, man, you've come this far. Come this far. That's a heck of a bet. For 168,300, I mean, that's be tremendous to win that for a $5 bet. Yeah, on the other hand,

Duke may not win that national championship. What if they lose there in the national championship and do they end up playing Florida? I don't know the divisions. I have to look at the division. But they could lose in the last second of any game. Some guy throws a three-pointer up and Duke goes home. And you're out.

You're out to bet. So I'm glad I don't have to make that decision. I probably, I would probably take the money. Probably take the 50,000. But I'd be bad at myself. So I would not watch. watch that Duke game. I wouldn't care. I don't want to know. Don't tell me. I don't want to know. Don't tell me. I seriously, don't tell my wife. Don't tell my kids. None of them. I don't want to know.

We're taking the 50 grand. We're walking away. Okay, that's what we're doing. And we're moving on with their life. Did they win them? You've got to find out. Oh, you come into work the next Monday and your buddy's looking at you like, you're a loser. Duke won, bitches. You shouldn't have taken the cash payout. Because that's what you're hearing in your head. You took the cash payout and Duke wins and you could have had $168,000.

You cost yourself what? $112,000, $102,000, $112,000. Right, that's made up money. Right, it's made up money. So you didn't cost yourself anything, really. You're out $5. You're out $5.000 right now with an opportunity to cash it in for $50,000.

It's tough to say no to that. It's tough to say no to that, except, you know, you could be $168,000. That's gambling. That's gambling. All right, let's do the joke of the day and get out of here. That may be actually the joke of the day. So this was sent to me from Eric chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I want to be clear.

This is Eric, not me. So a man finds a genie bottle, and after excitedly rubbing it, the genie comes out. And he says to the man, hey, unfortunately, because of the economy, you're only going to be getting one wish, so choose wisely. The man thinks for a minute and says, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared of flying and I get seasick easily, so I would like to have a bridge built so I could drive there.

The genie says, do you realize how far that is? And just how much concrete that will take? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever been asked for. The man says, okay, well, then if I can't have a bridge to Hawaii, all right, I'd like to understand how a woman thinks, you know, how she processes things in her mind. And the genie replies, do you want that bridge two lanes or four lanes?
