All right, are you going to Florida?
Thinking about going to Florida?
Take it easy.
Don't go.
12-year-old vacation from Indiana.
Hanging out in northern Florida up in the panhandle.
We want to go in the water.
No, it's too.
The undertow is too bad.
It's cloudy.
It's murky.
You go ahead and you can, well, you can wade in the water.
That's fine.
No problem.
Just wait in the water for a little while.
Don't go.
Don't go too deep, though.
It's too dangerous.
Hey, that was a mistake too.
Now they're back in Indiana.
We've got flesh eating virus.
Thank you.
The sad thing is that this flesh eating virus is in her leg.
So she really won't be the...
I mean, she could be dead, but she won't be the walking.
Nah, never mind.
You just don't want to get the virus.
Okay, so I was all ready to talk about a couple things.
Then I got throwing a curveball as I'm sitting down.
Voodoo is closing down.
Voodoo is closing down.
Voodoo is closing down.
That's all I hear from Chris Cruz.
Voodoo is closing down.
No.
If I lose my freaking movies from Voodoo, man,
there was going to be some kind of hell to pay.
I'm not saying that that could happen, but that could happen.
So apparently, ultraviolet.
the company that you get your movies from that sends it to voodoo is going out of business so like when you got the movie at walmart or sam's lover whatever and they scanned it boop and then it went to your it was there on your digital platform it was ultraviolet that did that that company is going out of business so voodoo and that company is shutting down the end of july so voodoo is telling you hey hey don't
unlock your content because if you unlock your content it's going to go bye-bye at the end of
July and now they want you to they're going to send everything to this movies anywhere
if I lose my freak of movies from voodoo man oh yeah I don't want to say that bad things are
going to happen but bad things are going to happen okay now there's a whole big list of
this story of what should you do now?
And between January 31st and July 31st, 2019,
why am I looking at January 31st?
This broke at the end of January that this was shutting down?
How do I not know this?
I got an email.
Didn't you get your email?
Maybe I, maybe, it's probably in my spam file.
Yeah.
But they, maybe I saw the thing ultraviolet and I thought,
yeah, I don't care about ultraviolet.
but I do care about ultraviolet.
You do, yes, that's where the movies are.
And after the shutdown date, your ultraviolet library will automatically close.
And in the majority of cases, your movies and TV shows will remain accessible at previously linked retailers.
Right.
In the majority of cases, they're freaking better.
I'll tell you that.
You can continue to make online purchases and redeem codes, but these may only be available through that.
retailer and will not be added to your ultraviolet library.
Why are you shutting down, you criminals?
What are you doing?
You took all our money?
You had the deal.
Now you're shutting down.
They're crying because movies anywhere between iTunes and Google and movies anywhere
overtook the ultraviolet deal, right?
So they were Disney and all these got, came up with their own platforms and sent their
stuff.
So Voodoo was just sitting there going, well, we're with ultraviolet.
App fatigue, once again.
App fatigue.
It sure seems like it, man.
You're trying to save money like right now I'm paying for stars, showtime.
Might also just get cable.
Right.
And that's going to be, you got to look at the prices for that.
Because we are in serious app fatigue.
And every other network in the world is now saying,
we should probably just, you know, we're not going to let Netflix and Amazon have our content.
Yeah, NBC just pulled the office contract.
We're going to let expire from Netflix.
because we're going to launch our own platform in 2020.
Well, good luck.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
Why can't things stay the same?
Right.
Thank you.
Grandpa.
Thank you.
A wise old man told me that a couple hours ago.
Why can't things be the same?
I just want things to be the same as all.
I mean,
things have to change all the time.
They just can't remain the same.
And now,
speaking of streaming,
the director's guild of a member,
America.
God knows we can't live without the Directors Guild of America.
Everybody gets, you know, the magazine from them.
And they wins the awards.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They are the DGA Awards, which, you know, the DGA Awards, which, you know, the DGA Awards,
the Directors Guild of America Awards.
The DGA Awards.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
It's making sure you were saying it right.
Okay.
They are saying that, hey, if you release a streaming movie.
Here we go.
Here we go.
And it doesn't have a theatrical release.
You're not going to, you're not going to be able to win a DGA.
You know what I say?
DGA, take a hike.
We don't need you.
I can't things just say that.
You make a movie, you should be up for an award.
It's either good or bad.
Yeah, it's like the whole Steven Spielberg.
It's like the whole Steven Spielberg.
It doesn't matter.
It's Spielberg got his ass kicked on that too.
Good.
Good.
And the DGA, see, this is then he's trying to back door him with the DGA stuff.
you sure like to take their money making their movies,
don't you, Mr. Directors and producers.
Yeah.
Everybody wants to do that.
Everybody loves to have the Amazon and the Netflix thing,
including you, Mr. Spielberg.
He says Apple TV Plus coming on the fall.
So I don't, I...
Which, by the way.
It's ridiculous.
I have to make a correction.
Do you remember when we were talking about
the Apple TV announcement a couple months ago?
Remember that?
And then we said that Steve Corral,
the cute chick and the other cute chick
were doing a morning show
and then you're going to
and you said oh you know
you're going to wake up pretty soon
and be like doing a morning show
every single day is going to suck
you ain't lying
it's not a morning show like that
it's a sitcom about a morning show
it's a sitcom
about a morning show
yes so it's just going to be
recorded content
yes it's agonizing
so it's going to be like
what's his face that used to do
the tonight the
Night Show, right?
That's neat.
He died now.
No.
No, no, no.
Who died?
He died a while ago, but he was the funny man that did the talk show.
It was more like a sitcom of a talk show.
Well, now you're going to make me look it up.
Yes, I am.
The Larry Sanders show.
So it's going to be something like that similar to that.
It's just going to be a recorded thing.
I know that we had TV shows like news radio and and tall.
Late Night and I got all that.
I knew it.
Thank you.
There's no one.
way those dangleberries.
You were right.
You were right.
There's no way those dangleberries could do a morning show.
I am sorry.
I know they work hard.
I know they work hard.
And I know at what they do.
I got it.
I understand.
And they're talented people.
But it's a,
it to do a morning show,
radio or television.
And really to do any show,
really afternoons or middays or whatever is.
You have to do a lot of work.
But it's,
it isn't just learn lines and show up.
I promise you that.
You're doing Pat Gray.
tomorrow how's that going to come in coming from you just I just don't learn my lines you got a couple
pages yeah a couple pages you got all your bits and all that stuff submitted it's all good and you'll be here
while showtime starts like what five so you'd be here what four showtime is that six now oh six oof so you
could be here about five 30 and then just five 355 55 yeah sit down huh and then just go and turn
and everything's in the teleprompter and you're good to go it's the way it works not
No, you just get here like at 2.30 in the morning.
It just doesn't happen.
But no, I just, I do not get here at 2.30.
3 o'clock.
I like to get up and get going.
And at least have some idea of what's going on, which is a, it never happens, by the way.
But it sounds good to say.
There's no way those.
Anyway, I knew it.
There's no way those people are doing a morning, a morning show.
I mean, good for them.
I'm sure the show will be funny and it'll be fine.
I want to see it.
Because that's a good trio.
Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Corral.
Yeah.
That's a good trio.
Yeah, Reese's.
I like Reese a lot.
She's on that Little Liars.
I know.
It's a little liars?
Big Little Lies.
Big Little Lies, yeah.
A little lies or whatever the heck it is.
It has big, little, and lies.
Yes, it does.
Just combine those.
And we're on season two and it's fine.
Season two, yes.
And we're good to go.
They brought it, what's her face for season two?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
They didn't need her, though.
No, they didn't.
I don't know why they did that.
But this is a Reese for the film production, correct?
Yeah, this is her.
Yeah, she's Miss Hollywood now anyway.
She is.
Yes.
So, you know, you're not messing with Reese.
Reese.
Reese says, you know what, I think would be funny as a, you know, a play on a morning show.
We'll just say anything.
I'm sorry.
And that's probably what should happen.
Jennifer Anderson is
She's getting up there
And she's not that funny
She's funny
With the right
Actor she's funny
Because her and Adam Sandler
Funny
Funny
Are they
Yes I just said
Her and Adam Sandler
Funny
Again I ask
Are they
All right, just a reminder that the Mercury One's Museum is getting ready to fire up.
The starts the 29th, a couple days from now, if you're listening to this podcast live on the 27th of June, 2019.
The 12 score and three years ago is located here at Mercury Studios in Irving, Texas.
It's going to go through the 29th of June to July 7th.
And they are busy, busy little, busy little beavers.
12 score and three years ago.
The unfinished promise of unity is at Mercury Studios.
You need to be here to see this.
June 29th through July 7th, it's going to be incredible.
And unlike any museum you've ever set foot in,
we have augmented reality experiences.
You'll see the artifacts actually come to life on your smartphones.
And we've got special tours from David Barton and Glenn Beck.
But there's only a few spots on each of these tours left.
For general admission and guided tours, go to Mercury 1.com.
or call 972-499-47-47 for more information.
And we're going to find a way to,
when you're taking the tour with Stu and Jeffie,
to have that augmented reality
with some different stuff in it.
I don't think that's possible, but it'd be fun.
Actually, that's why, and I knew that was coming.
That was so cool.
They were showing it to me a couple weeks ago
about the, you're going to be able to download,
you get the app, and you look at the item,
and then it comes to light.
It's really cool.
Yeah, you can download the app.
If you're coming, just go,
in the App Store
12 scores and three years ago
and then you'll see the app
download the app. Just be app ready. Don't come here
without the app. Thank you. Are we
responsible for your Wi-Fi? No, we're not.
And I'm sorry, I'm not going to give you the password to the Wi-Fi.
No.
So,
be-app-a-app ready.
Home right now. Go to the App-Rulithal.
The App Store,
12 scores, and three years ago,
download this stupid app. It has a stupid logo,
the museum of stuff. You know, you know what it is.
is.
Yes.
Mercury1.org for tickets.
We're not going to give you internet.
Okay?
We're not.
Jeez.
Mercury 1.
There'll be internet here.
There's going to be Wi-Fi.
Yeah, but not for you.
It's going to be full.
It's not for you, though.
It's going to be busy.
So you're going to be, take forever to download the app if you're not app ready.
Especially, yes.
Especially if you have all these people here on cellular.
Right.
And if you don't go with Station 19, you don't get a silver session.
I mean, it's tough getting the reception in the room.
I'm sitting in most of the time.
Yeah.
So app ready.
And I don't know if you know.
this or not, but the IT department has already bogged down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, the IT department is backed up so much.
It's almost like we don't even have one.
Yeah, because they're backed up.
That's what I said.
Yeah.
That's what I said.
12 score three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity.
And it's setting up, it looks great.
You know what it's really cool, what I do love.
And Mr.
Mr.
Oh, there is a slave ship in the bogs.
Did you see the slave ship?
I did.
That's really cool.
Pretty cool.
I know.
I got admit it.
I had to swallow my words on that one.
I know.
Because Glenn actually rocked it.
Now, still looks like a box.
Oh, that's what ships are.
Boxes that float in the water.
Yeah, but inside, but I do this.
I told the museum people that to close the doors.
To get the full effect, you close the door,
just have a freaking worker up there.
Yes.
Wait.
Great idea.
So you're bringing the people in?
This is a little off.
If we talk about this,
why are we talking about this on the podcast?
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
We'll do a Facebook live.
And we'll see,
we'll show them how to actually do a proper ship thing.
I love it.
I love it.
Look,
well,
that's going to happen.
Because yesterday,
because we had a kickoff party yesterday for the,
uh,
locals,
leaders and the door's open.
No,
you're not a local leader.
I wasn't.
You're not a local leader?
I mean,
I wasn't here for that.
But I was just so upset.
They kept leaving the door open.
So I closed it.
I closed the door.
they were freaking the hell out.
That's what it's supposed to be.
That's what I said.
That's the experience.
Help.
I'm like, man, this is, this augmented reality is legit.
Come find that you can open the door.
So I had to help them out from the other side.
But it's cool, though.
It's pretty cool.
Yes.
It's pretty cool.
Yes.
And you'll get that augmented reality that almost seems like reality when you come to the museum.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night
stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
That's the unofficial motto of the U.S. Postal Service,
which doesn't mean that they're still not in a financial crisis.
But according to recent congressional testimony by Postmaster General Megan Brennan,
and she's, look, we all, we gave you.
the Postmaster General.
She's like under the board,
so you want to be on the board of governors.
But she said the agency
will run out of money within five years.
Why are you
cheering for the
Postal Service to run out of money?
They're not going to run out of it.
They're not going to run out of money, especially if they
put me in charge.
So
150 billion pieces of
mail a year.
47% of the
entire world's
mail.
I mean, you want to talk about
the effects on commerce.
650,000
workers
is huge, huge,
but they'll be fixed.
Do you want to know why?
74%
74% say
the Postal Service does
an excellent or good job.
they're the number one
number one government program that Americans love
number two secret service
69%
Centers of Disease Control
64%
CIA
and NASA both at 60%
funny the FBI is not on here
the FBI is not in here
wonder why the FBI oh I know why
because they don't deserve to be on the list
but the Postal Service is the favorite
according to the latest gallop folks.
So the Postal Service will not be running out of money.
And if they put me in charge,
I'll tell you some ways where they can make some money, no problem.
Speaking of polls, though,
84% of people surveyed said Americans are angrier today
than compared with a generation ago.
What are you talking about with that?
That has nothing to do with politics.
People are angrier that has something to do with politics?
42% of those polls said they were angrier in the past year than they had been further back in time.
That doesn't have anything to do with politics.
What happened last year?
A lot of things happened last year.
29% of the people said they were often angry when checking the news.
Okay?
That's not politics.
And said it sometimes made them angry.
Older people aged 65 and up were a little less likely to say that they were often angry when checking the news.
21% of seniors were in this category compared to 38% of people younger than 35.
There's nothing political about that.
There's similar difference in reactions to social media.
7% of people, 65 and above.
How many people, seriously?
How many people, 65 and above?
Well, I guess on Facebook, right?
There's not a whole lot of...
I heard it on the news.
And I said it was ridiculous, man.
That's it.
That's it.
You ain't lying.
Now, it talks about the roots of that anger.
Could that...
It doesn't say anything about politics, though.
I doesn't say anything about politics in the story.
You take that music back.
This has nothing to do with politics, my friend,
except that we all know.
It absolutely does.
But I didn't say it.
Just because you played the stupid music.
I didn't say it.
We could talk, you know,
as long as we're talking about,
as long as we're getting hollered at
for pushing the boundaries into political talk.
We could talk about, you know,
the coming threes,
Rees, right? So we had Max Wright die on Wednesday. Remember Max Wright? He was the actor who played
the father on the television show Elf. And if you see his face, you've seen him in other television
shows and movies. You had Billy Drago die on Monday, who was one of the great villains of all
time throughout Hollywood days.
He was in the untouchables and he was in the other movies.
When you see another guy that you see his face and you go, oh yeah.
Like if you saw him walking down the street, you go, hey, you look like that bad guy.
And he would say, I get that all the time.
Keep walking because I don't want to talk to you.
That's what would happen.
And then we found out that we lost dog's wife, right?
So it comes in threes.
One, two, three.
Sorry to.
Sorry to bring it to you, but the three has happened this week.
So if anybody else dies now, it's a new three.
It's the way it goes.
I don't know why people get so upset about that.
It's science is, like, we're proving a point that celebrities dies in three.
Like, why would you get so upset about that?
I don't know.
I don't understand either, but they do.
Science deniers.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, if you're listening to this podcast live, which is the 27th of June, 2019,
in that, which I stated earlier in the podcast as well.
Today is also a day where Helen Keller was born.
Probably didn't see that one coming.
Ah!
Oh, where's my room?
Probably today was a day in history when Helen Keller was born.
No, that's not where the room shot would be.
Today in history, today is the day that Helen Keller was born.
Probably didn't see that one coming.
And also a Mormon church founder, Joseph.
I thought that was another punchdown.
Mormon church founder, Joseph Smith,
killed by a mob in a jail in 1844.
You want to give me a rim shot for that?
I thought that was today.
I was about to go, you know.
Yeah, no, he was killed by a mob at 1844.
He was the founder of the Mormon church.
Josephism.
Let's go to the break room.
I need to Coke Cola Zero.
Seriously, need to Coke Cola Zero.
Oh my gosh.
So good.
So good.
Well, as long as we're in the break room,
Kim Kardashian taking a little heat.
She's got a new shapewear line.
She looks hot.
Called Kimono.
Camono.
Camono.
Camono.
Camono.
Yeah. Camono.
Kimono.
Camino.
Come on.
What is it called?
Kimono.
Yeah.
That's what I said.
So apparently it's culturally insensitive.
How?
Fat shaming?
No.
No, but it's a Japan's shaming, right?
How is that Japan?
That's a Japanese thing.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't it a culture appropriate not shaming?
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But she's taking the heat for that, but
I mean, it looks like it works for her.
But she's got the big hashtag Kim, oh, no.
So why do we just name with that?
Kim, oh no.
The FAA finds a new,
potential risk for the 737 max they might as well just burn these planes yes they might as well just shut
these things down right if you guys used to make the 737 maxes no i don't know what you're talking about
every country in the world has a giant fire burning it today it's the death of the 737 max or they should
just go by what i would say a third world country shouldn't have planes the fAA said that it found a potential risk
that Boeing must mitigate during the simulator testing of the software changes that Boeing has
made and wants to be certified.
The issue involves an uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer, the little wink
near the tail that moves the plane up or down.
How many times have you said that, Jeffrey?
I swear to God, the last time I got so angry.
I'm flying, we were flying over, I forget where we were flying over.
And all of a sudden, I got an uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer.
I was so pissed.
I called the closest tower
I called the closest
That's not funny if it causes a crash
This is not funny
But they might as well just shut that plane down
Thank you for falling
Fisher Air
Right now I'm getting some
Uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer
That's why you're getting a little
Movement inside the plane
You might as well just say sit down
And keep your seat belts on
and no smoking.
No smoking is advised.
Thank you so much.
I let you know what the
uncommanded movement
of the horizontal stabilizer
decides to stop.
Because I've commanded it to stop,
but this is an uncommanded movement.
So,
anyway, that's the turbulence you're feeling
is the uncommanded movement
of the horizontal stabilizer.
When that ceases,
well,
You don't feel it because you want everything more turbulence.
Thank you for flying, Fisher.
Appreciate it.
Just burn them.
Just burn them all.
The max is done.
Call it 738, do whatever you want to do.
Just burn the 737.
Oh, just skip that number.
Just go to another number.
Yeah, okay.
I'm good with that, too.
Same plain different number.
8-01.
Call it the 801.
18.
I'm a fan.
Are those the 737?
Nope.
They're the 18 math.
They're the 18 max.
A couple more headlines,
as long as we're still, you know, in the break room.
I might as well get another drink of Coke 0, 2.
So good.
As I told you on Pat Unleashed yesterday during my chewing the fat segment,
the NSA collected records of U.S. calls and texts.
It wasn't authorized to collect last year.
And don't worry about it.
It was an accident.
Now, listen, we don't know.
We didn't collect everyone's.
and we're not quite sure exactly what all we collected, but don't worry about it's fine.
Bank of America, going to stop lending to companies running private prisons and detention centers.
I know this is on the boundary of political.
And if I hear that freaking music, I'm going to throw something right through the glass at Chris Cruz.
But that's got, something has got to be done.
Are you kidding me, Bank of America?
You're going to stop lending to companies running private prisons and detention centers.
I mean, this is just ridiculous.
And Major League Soccer turning into NASCAR, which I love,
is now going to allow its teams to sign Jersey Front sponsorship deals
with sports betting and liquor companies.
Nice.
I mean, I love the idea of sponsorships for anything.
If you can sponsor it, do it.
That's why I've been a, that's, now I'm going to give you this hint
and this tip just out of the goodness of my heart here.
But when I say that the Postal Service, if I was running it, wouldn't be out of money.
One of the things that would happen is you'd have, we got 80 billion postal jeeps running around.
Those need to be sponsored.
Those need to be sponsored by somebody.
Those companies need to be.
I don't care what it is.
You have your little Coca-Cola, Dallas Fort Worth is Coca-Cola Hub for the Postal Service, whatever it is.
or Jack Day
Kentucky can be Jack Daniels.
I don't care.
Just make us some money.
Just make us some money.
Damn it.
And
this story keeps coming back around.
And ever so often, I think,
oh, not again.
You know, the UN tries to shove
eating insects down our throats,
so to speak.
Now we get eating insects
will soon go mainstream.
as bug protein is set to explode into an $8 billion business.
I'm not really sure why Elton John showed up because I'm sick of him.
You know, Elton is not eating any damn bugs.
I guarantee you that.
No, $8 billion business?
No, not in the U.S.
edible insects are set to become $8 billion by 2030.
Eating bugs is becoming increasingly common as the global population swells.
No.
Eating bugs are being forced upon us by the UN as an alternative to traditional meat.
No.
Not here in America.
Stop looking at the camera, dude.
Restaurant.
Tomorrow.
Stop.
I just want people to know exactly what I'm talking about.
Tomorrow, you can do it all you want.
But today, right now.
Look, I want people to know.
Nobody can see you.
No, the cameras are right there.
I keep looking at you.
You just look at the camera.
I try to make a stupid point.
Like, people are watching you.
What the hell?
It's only me here.
The cameras are right there.
So, me and my wife and my son.
Like, look at those through the glass.
And by the way, speaking of that.
What is this?
Like family world now?
Yeah, my in-laws are somewhere right here too.
Did you just buy a house?
Yeah, that's what they're here.
Shouldn't have not buy that house.
Maybe.
Maybe that's one of the house.
to be.
No, they're working.
They're working.
Are they?
Are they?
Yes.
The wife is the house 100% clean?
Eh.
Yeah.
That's where she needs to be then.
Anyway, I want to get back to tell people about bugs.
Restaurants and supermarkets around the world are already serving up edible insects.
Are they?
Are they?
Not here.
This is America.
Oh, I can't take it.
Increasingly attractive for industry giants such as Nestle
Pepsi Co and Tyson.
Well, yeah, those are worldwide companies, man.
They'll be serving up bugs, and I guarantee you,
you'll be able to walk down the frozen sections.
Oh, frozen crickets from Taiwan.
Those are my favorite.
Will never be heard.
And I'm talking to.
You got to stop.
I'm serious about that.
You got to stop.
I feel like a waste of energy just looking at the camera.
It's just like, why are you doing?
Why, when we turn off your mic, I want people to hear you laugh of how stupid you are right now.
You look at it.
I can't help it.
The camera's right there.
Even if I, here's the stupid thing.
Even if there's no camera there, you're still looking at there.
No, because the camera's supposed to be there.
Is there a camera right now?
Yeah, there is.

No, that's me going out there.

You people on the camera could just turn the camera over and we'll look at him.
As long as we're talking about insects, I might as well end today with a couple of animal stories.
Insects animals.
See how that all works together?
Karma in Florida.
A man accused of killing the Bush Gardens famous flamingo.
Remember him?
He was just hit and killed by a truck.
Shouldn't have killed that flamingo, dude.
Sorry.
I know.
Coming to a...
Coming to an American fire station soon, four months after saving an overweight rat trapped in a sewer grate.
German firefighters have again answered the call of rodent duty, this time sedating, then liberating a very tense squirrel whose head got stuck in the manhole.
Okay.
if America is wasting firefighters time, energy, and money, rescuing rodents from a manhole,
uh, no.
Now, you know they will.
I say no and you know we're going to see stories of they,
where they rescue cats up in trees and they rescue people's animals.
Yes, but we shouldn't be rescuing rodents.
And you heard me, PETA.
And let me look right at the camera for PETA.
We shouldn't be rescuing rodents.
Okay.
There you go.
Looking directly at you, Peter.
And, of course, talking directly at you, Peter, but I'm going right at the camera for you.
And, of course, my favorite story.
Remember a couple weeks ago when the duck got in the polar bear pond
and we had the video of the polar bear chomp on eating the duck?
So good.
Oh, no, the duck.
dog, so good.
It's a circle of life, people.
So good.
So in a New York Zoo,
they had a beloved peacock.
They used to fly around,
and they just,
it would just go around the rounds of the zoo,
and everyone loved it,
and they used to be seen window shopping
and looking at the gift shop
and then show up at the bamboo gardens,
and it just had the run of the place.
And they just loved the beautiful little peacock.
and they were in love with it so much they named it merlin
Merlin the peacock
this is in new york
this is it new york
yeah so just a beautiful thing and when you go talking about this
you go to the zoo it's so nice and you think oh there's merlin again
see today's in the bamboo garden

where he's he too? He might have been yesterday
but uh merlin got a little
cocky
Hello.
The Merlin, the peacock got a little cocky, got a little cocky.

Sight of the page change.

I'm so glad to work my back off for you.
Anyway, Merlin.
Free flight.
Zero out.
So, Muriel.
And Becoming a little cocky, decided, hey, I have the peacock of the zoo, and I could go anywhere I want.
I'm just going to fly over here to the lion's den and see what's going on.
What's going on as the lions ate the peacock.
The zookeepers quickly intervened to stop the lions from getting aggressive toward each other.
Why?
But it was too late for Merlin.
Yeah, they don't want the lions fighting over it.
They didn't want the lions fighting over Merlin.
The lion that first got him, it's over.
All right?
Berlin.
Dead.
At the age of, well, he's been at the zoo since 2006.
We don't know how old the damn bird is.
He's been there since 2006.
Merlin, the Beacott.
Dead.
This has been retrospective.
Un-C-TF.
