Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy. That is a Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony reference, courtesy of Vanadium Silver. you of course could hear by the way that I delivered it that each trendy was spelled differently trendy with a Y with an I with an E and each one had an exclamation point at the end which was the name of an R&B group in the early 90s Tony Tony Tony Tony I remember for us because we were always reading it we always call it a Tony Tony Tony tone yeah because the last one was

tone yeah that's right and I don't know there was an accent on there but yeah I was I was a stickler for Accentes. Ah, yes, indeed. What did you win the Kentucky Spanish spelling? See, single. Don't a style bibliotheca. Holy shit. Check that kid's blood.

Yeah, they just put me on a list. That's all that winning that award was. It was like, might not. People start consoling your dad. They're like, oh, man, Jim. I can't believe she stepped out on you like that. hearing what you thought your son speaking perfect flawless

Espinol. They just press a tape on the tape player. Better do, me. Donde is style. What the fuck? Anyways, my name is Jack O'Brien. Joaquin,

O'Brien, from Spanish class. And I'm thrilled to be joined by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. You're just saying the Spanish. tape thing reminding me this memory of high school where we had a janky CD where it was teaching Spanish. Oh, you had a CD player. Yeah, you know, it was 2001. We were fucking surfing on the

edge of technology. But the thing would skip and all my friends, because I took Japanese, but all my friends, there was just like earworm in our school because the fucking CD would skip and it would be like, Unidad, Uno. Estabat, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta. That sounds like the beginning of a good EDM track. Yeah, yeah, it does. That's funny. That's funny that that you didn't even hear it directly. It just passed to you.

It was like, well, no, and then I would like during, we had a thing called X period where you could go like, it was like open office hours to talk to your teachers to get homework help and stuff like that. So then I would go to the room.

They're like, hey, play the CD so Miles can hear it. Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, three. All right. let's let's get it. This is the episode where we tell you what's trending. On this Wednesday, May 6th, um, Elon Musk, this is just a quick one, but, uh, he tweeted, uh, I'm sorry, his mom, May Musk tweeted at Elon Musk. Uh, your mom told me she was cleaning toilets in a Liverpool boarding

house as a child. When I met her in 1966, she was sewing things for a furrier in a small windowless room behind the store. Um, so May, Musk, his mom was tweeting a story about his mom to Elon Musk and Brace from Truanon or just the Truean account responded and said, aren't you his mom?

But wait. Wait, aren't you? I don't get it. What are you doing here? What are you doing here? And then knives with a seven instead of a V. Hell, yeah.

Um, fucking topsy-turvy at, uh, display name. Um, Knives dash chaos agent, uh, responded. So this is actually sad. Elon is trying to post from his dad's account, but it's so much worse. His parents divorced in 1979. He's trying to create an alternate reality on Twitter, where not only are his parents talking about him and to him,

but they're talking to each other. Oh, man. Buddy. He's like on. Twitter just like playing house. Oh, I'd almost feel bad if you didn't have a trillion fucking dollars to rest your oversized head on. Yeah. And a million lives.

That is so fucking, I mean, it's so funny like that he just thinks he's like, yeah, and then, okay, now I'm going to pretend to be my mom. And got all this like, should create this weird dynamic. Okay, man. Like his dad, he's tweeting. So he was intending to tweet as his dad's. speaking lovingly of his mom who he divorced in 1979. His dad's like a real, real problem. Real past, real brother.

This is not new. This is not isolated to just this billionaire. Elon Musk confirmed in a recent deposition that he used a burner account on X, formerly Twitter, to seemingly roleplay as his toddler son. I love my daddy. How are you typing this? are 14 months old. But yeah, it's like he's using Twitter to like playhouse and have a world where everybody loves him and, you know, he just gets to be the hero of his own narrative.

Oh, man. Just create that. That's him in the fifth dimension, man. That's his version of the fifth dimension. I'm all about the fifth dimension now that I've seen interstellar, dude. Oh, yeah, the fifth dimension. Just knocking on that bookcase. L-O-V-E.

That's what the fifth dimension is. That's all it is. Let's talk about Iran. Yeah. Because this is dominating the headlines. Yeah. It's a real will they won't pay money. Really?

Will they won't they just end it? Like, and by that I mean life on earth. What's going to happen? Yeah. That seems to be an option that's always on the tail. But I'm just, I just want to show a sequence of stories I saw over the last 18 to 20 hours. The first one, U.S. and Iran have potential framework of a deal. This is from Axios.

The White House believes it's getting close. to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations. Among the provisions, the deal would involve Iran committing to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment. Wow, you had that years ago. Anyway, the U.S. agreeing to lift sanctions and release billions in frozen Iranian funds and both sides lifting restrictions around transit through the Strait of Hormuz. And you're like, oh, okay, cool, progress. So just the net, the net net, net of that, just not to tease America into not doing this, but just in terms of

like where we were heading into the first Trump administration versus this, this, uh, he's, he's managed to negotiate his way into releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds. That's the one change from where, uh, things were before.

It seems like, yeah, is like I, I get, I want to pay Iran billions of dollars, which great. I mean, I did, I had no idea it was such a humanitarian. Yeah, yeah. And then you got another one. Uh, US no longer escorting ships through the strait. President Trump announced on Tuesday evening

that he was pausing the day old U.S. operation to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz for a short period of time, citing that he was quote, there was great progress toward an agreement with Iran. Oh, cool, progress.

I love that word. Then, new headline. Trump threatens to bomb Iran at higher intensity. Oh, good. Oh, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Iran would be bombed at a much higher level if it doesn't agree to a peace deal. The president said the war will be at an end if Iran agrees to the proposals, meaning the trade of Hormuz will, quote, be open to all.

And this truth social post came after, quote, markets reacted to an axios report, the one I just referenced, that said the U.S. and Iran were close to an agreement, which caused oil prices to fall sharply while U.S. stock futures, equities listed in Europe, and global sovereign bonds rallied. He truly just treats the world like a fucking snow globe. He just like shakes it up. I want to see the snow come down. I'll settle.

I hate when the snow is not moving in it. Then next one, quote, Trump says too soon to talk about peace talks. Uh? President Trump told the post Wednesday morning, it's quote, too soon to start thinking about face-to-face peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, despite optimistic reports the two nations were close on a potential framework

to end the 67-day war. So, art of the deal, man. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't, much like Matthew McConaughey and Interstellar, he does not exist in linear time. No. He's true. He's on some next shit. I can imagine his body in that tesseract going down to another timeline.

Yeah. This is good. This is good. So, yeah, the line go up. Then we'll probably go back down after this. But hey, he timed it out for the markets to open. Margo Rubio has officially stated there, there's a clip of his. where he says the goal is to get the straight back to the way it was before, you know,

we started this war for no apparent reason. The way it was. President Trump has said, and the facts clearly bear out, the United States of America holds all the cards. There is no scenario here in which if they decide to join a ladder of escalation, they wind up getting the last say. But our preference is for these straits to be opened to the way they're supposed to be open, back to the way it was.

anyone can use it, no mines in the water. Back to the way it was. Back to before we broke it. What a fucking idiot. But out of that, we're getting the unfreezing of billions of dollars, which, again, like, just whether they're humanitarian by intent or by incompetence, I say let them miles. I'm on my, what's that? the let them woman who this is something that I discovered

Mel Robbins the let them theory I'm in my let them phase with the Trump administration where I hear that they're going to revive the apprentice with Donald Trump Jr and I say let them let them walk all over you

that's right they want to ask American taxpayers for a billion dollars to fund the ballroom Yeah, yeah. Let them. Let them. Does that mean, like, that's just something that is being reported that the Republicans are trying to push through.

Like, sneak this billion dollars of funding for the ballroom into a tax bill. Do we think that that is, because they think that's actually popular? Do they think that we just won't have free and fair elections so they can do whatever they want? do they have a death wish as a part? Like they're just like we want to do the most unpopular. We're in the lab trying to come up with the most unpopular thing. And we think we've found it. Ask Americans for a round billion dollars to make a gilded page that the most wealthy

and powerful people in the world can have their own Metgala inside of. This is all just, I think, a good indication that Trump still controls the party. They're all just like, okay. yeah you want us to make bill for one billion dollar okay okay um do we think there's like any dynamic when you like kind of game theory it out and sorry by the way my neighbor's house is being deconstructed oh and then reconstructed with jack hammers using they're trying to do it all with jackhammer you know what to use nails nah nah just all jack hammers drywall that sounds like i'm in a cartoon construction site.

I'm sure Brian the editor will find a way to make it not overbearing, but as I'm recording this, it does feel like I'm taking a call from the floor of a fucking slaughterhouse or something. Yeah, yeah.

But anyways, like I noticed this with Marco Rubio's like, we're going to do it back to the way it was, like, and then the ballroom thing. I'm just wondering, are they just like, are they in their let him phase? Are they just like, let's do what he wants?

And, you know, he's going to be out of our hair eventually. And we just like need to get through this phase. Like they're in the hospice phase of the Trump administration where they're just like, yeah. Okay. Yes, sir. Oh, you want a, you want to make the ballroom your thing? Sure. Let's do that.

That's great. Sure, you're fine. It's not a war. You just want to put a bunch of, you want a little hidey hole that you can go into. Right. And who knows what other weird shit's going on there. I mean, the thing that they're,

they're trying to get it under budget reconciliation. So the Democrats could force a vote to strike funding for that, too. It's not like very straightforward. It just feels very like, like, I don't know, just fucking say we're doing it too. Yeah, just, I don't know. Because even the Republicans, they're not all unified that this is a good idea.

Many, many are still pretty, some, some still have their like fiscal conservative hat on or they're like, what the fuck is this? No. But won't stop him from trying. Can't stop, won't stop. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide,

not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman, Help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and headwriters, Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. There's that worst singer in the group?

I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, Fupa's, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be getting naked? at 50 with the new guy. That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with

Experience it all with us. Listen to Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. Hey, baby. And we're back. And billionaire, Ted Turner has passed away.

ruined TV news by creating CNN and tried to ruin a number of classic movies by colorizing movies like Casablanca and It's a Wonderful Life. Way better. Why wouldn't it be in color? I think I watched the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life when we did that rewatch.

Yeah. And I didn't realize how, like, I was like, what the fuck am I looking at? Thanks, Ted. Yeah. he is one of the CEOs that's profiled in that one, the one Malcolm Gladwell article I will stand by is his evaluation of CEOs and how they talk about making their money

versus how they actually made their money. So he reads Ted Turner's biography, and it's all about how he's like a maverick. It makes these like crazy daring decisions that everybody says are bad. But like what actually happens is he inherits a lot of money, and then he just he's one of the examples he's where he finds a good deal and just exploits it over and over and over again in a predatory way until he's a billionaire um boom that's how it's done it's not the imaginative thing that they sell you they're not uh starting anything out of their dad's uh garage it's just they find an imbalance and then just bully their way into getting the better end of the deal over and over and over and over again until they have money.

But he is a, all the money, sorry, I should have specified until they have all the money. He's definitely a colorful character. He was a conservationist. And in the 90s, he helped create Captain Planet,

which the goal was to make. I didn't know he created Captain was one of the creators. Okay. Wow. he was the one whose idea was to add the heart as the no he was not no I don't know I was going to say it's missing heart yeah the goal was to make environmental issues understandable to kids and that theme song we were all singing it I mean it was a hit it I remember but we used to fucking we used to be trolly with it because it was captain planning he's a hero gonna take pollution down to zero we would say captain Captain Planet, he ain't a hero. Gonna take pollution up to 100. Damn.

That's what we would fucking do, bro. What's up now, Ted? And now you can't do shit about it, bro. Smoking on that Ted Turner Pack. Oh, you're going to split now, Ted. There were also, like, very, there was a very special episode in which a mutant rat man who sounds like Jeff Goldblum for some reason. Oh, it was played by Jeff Goldblum. like one of the children on a high school basketball team

finds out he has HIV AIDS and Jeff Goldblum's rat man starts spreading rumors like telling people untrue facts about it all with the goal of like teaching kids the truth about these diseases and destigmatizing them in a very weird way the rat man was trying to spread misinformation Wait, okay, so the lesson was that, like, let's fight, let's push back against HIV AIDS misinformation.

Yes. Like, because it's, okay, I wasn't sure if, like, Ted Turner was like, this is how I'm going to get my misinformation out to the kids. No, no, no. He, I don't think he was like hands-on writing these episodes, but that is the legacy of the rat. A rat man. Beats a kid with AIDS. You're like, what? That's how you get it.

That's how you get HIV-AIDS. You know what? Yeah, we have to stop having him in these writers' room. Have you noticed? every time he pitches something about HIV ads. Every fucking time. He's got shoe boxes on his, or tissue boxes on his feet.

In 1980, he commissioned a doomsday video for CNN to play in the event of a world-ending nuclear apocalypse featuring a U.S. Army band playing a mournful rendition of Near My God to the, this was discovered by one of Wolf Blitzer's interns in 2009 and leaked to the internet in 2015. But that is, you know, that's the power that we give these billionaires is they decide.

what our soundtrack is going to be as the world is ending. There's another anecdote that I'm pretty sure I heard on the podcast, The Action Boys from Ben Rogers, but it's about, so there are a couple anecdotes about

when Ted Turner first met Shaq. And Shaq, like, says that Ted Turner didn't know who he was. Because, of course, Shaq is part of inside the NBA, you know, and is, an amazing NBA legend and Ted Turner met him and was like,

holy cow, would you look at that? Sir, you must join the army. You would be an amazing soldier to Shaquille O'Neal. Like his conception of the world was like he was meeting the Incredible Hulk or something. Anyways, shout out to Ted Turner. Wow. God bless him. Get you in the military, man.

I don't get you in the military. Wow. Great worldview. I'm actually making like $100 million over here playing NBA basketball. Yeah. I don't think they could afford me. Let's see. Rudy, it's not looking good.

No. He's being read his last rights. Yeah, that's, I feel always a bad. It's usually bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like there are some reports that maybe that like, you know, they said he was, He was vented, but then he was maybe extubated in order to potentially say his goodbyes. But yeah, the reports that a priest visited him to pray for him, give him his last rights.

I'm not sure what Donald Trump is making of this. I'd imagine he's trying to ignore any news about his partner in crime's potential demise. Because he doesn't want that near him. No, no, no, no, I mean. He doesn't want to go out like Stan Sherr, as we remember from the pandemic. Yeah, right, exactly. Oh my God. He caught COVID and was rushed to Walter Reed, I think, but then, like, had to put on a strong face.

And so, like, did his big dramatic walk out of the military helicopter and nobody has ever looked more winded. Yeah. Oh, my God. So. He's, like, trying not to be wounded. So he's like, like, like, straight-faced, but, like, breathing so heavily. It looked like me trying to, like, recover my breathing after, like, a run or something. Yeah, yeah.

Breathe through your nose, man. Get it under control. try like, like you're trying to, like, it's happened to me when I'm like late for something, but I don't want to admit that I was late. So I like sprint up to it,

but then just have to act casual as I walk into the room. Oh, yeah, as long as you're pumping. Yeah. I've done that one like at the studio because you got to go up to, I always take the stairs. Like,

and sometimes I all march up there, but I don't want to walk in the studio like, uh, so I'd be like, I take those steps on my way to the door. Yeah. Uh, Yeah.

Yeah, but one of the things that he said at that time, his friend had passed away from COVID. And as he was facing COVID, he said, I don't want to go out like Stan Scherra. So it does feel like as one of Trump's friends dies, they just joined the army of chain rattling ghosts that visit him at night. There's so many at this point.

Yeah. Come home. Ironically, though, yesterday Trump brought back the president. Presidential Fitness Award. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Fitness Award.

The Donald Trump, Presidential Fitness Award. But then at the event, we kind of found out how intense his workouts were. He said, I work out so much, like about one minute a day, Max, if I'm lucky. That's funny. One minute a day is what he said at most. I'm like, what do we, what does this mean? He knows that heart beats are a zero-sum game and you only get so many of them in your lifetime. And so you just got to stay as calm and sedentary as possible.

Trump, he also talked about like, also joking that he doesn't exercise with RFK Jr. And RFK Jr. told a story about how his dad, RFK, like, took a 50 mile height. And RFK Jr. was like, it would be a breeze for Trump to do the same thing. This guy walks, quote, nine miles a day on a golf course every weekend. Wow. There's so much wrong with that. He's golfing every weekend. And also we've seen,

I've only seen him in a fucking go cart. Yeah. He gets out of the cart, like rolls over to where his ball is. And then, yeah. Maybe he takes a picture with like a young lady. Oh,

you like me. Okay. Watch this. Uh, uh, um, so again, look to your point,

Jack, uh, you're referencing Trump's, he's a believer in battery theory. The battery theory of life. The battery theory of life force. Yeah. Which is basically,

I love it, man. This is like in a profile. from the New Yorker a few years ago. He says, quote, other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy. And, yeah, doctors are yet to figure out who's on the right side of this one. So I think we just let them run with that one.

Jury's still out. Yeah. Battery theory. That's amazing. Does he know about food? Does he know why he eats food? to, nah, no, let's just not talk about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He has revived his Pope beef ahead of. This is another story that made me wonder, like, is Marco Rubio just like, yeah, I don't know, man, fucking yes. Donald Trump said what he said, and I'm just doing all of this with a straight face. And later on, when you're holding it above my head, I can still be like, well, at least I wasn't happy about it. So Marco Rubio is scheduled to meet with the Pope at the Vatican on Thursday tomorrow, presumably because sending J.D. Vance might result in another fatality. Which is he didn't get J.D. passed the door.

J.D. there. I want J.D. to go. No, no, no. He's banned. I bet J.D. had to turn down the assignment, you know? Like Trump probably would send him, but maybe not. At this point, it feels like JD Bance is just on the outs. Trump's not a fan.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe he does consider this important enough. Yeah. Or, I mean, I don't know. I feel like in spite he'd be like,

I bet J.D. would probably scare the shit out of him because look what we did to the last guy. Right. But he knows. Rubio claims that this meeting

was set up before Trump picked a fight with the Pope on social media last month, only noting that we had some stuff that happened in the interim since we set it up.

Okay. So that, yeah, that just feels like him, it's almost just like doing a wink and a nod to like, this guy's fucking crazy guys. I don't know. Like, I was just going to meet with the Pope and since then the president has picked the fucking fight

with him. Yeah. Look, I guess some stuff happened. I don't know. I'm just going to meet with the Pope. Right. I think you'd imagine Marco Rubio's Catholic guilt would be intact. Is he Catholic? Oh, I don't know. I mean...

For some reason, I can really picture him with that. Oh, yeah. I didn't want to do a blanket thing, but I'm like, most Cuban people I knew were Catholic. Catholic. So there he is. Yeah. Does he... Ashes on the forehead.

I feel like I can see that. I feel like I've seen that before. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder if he's so worried. He's like, oh, my God, dude, the Pope's going to make me go to hell. You be so mad at me? Maybe that's why Trump's doing. And he's like, yeah, because you had some spicy.

stuff to say too, Marco. You got blood on your hands, according to the Pope. Why don't you go meeting? He's like, no. Remember what you said about the Pope, Marco? I didn't. I said that to please you, my lord. When you get with them, put me on FaceTime. I want to talk to both you. Literally the day before

the Rubio Pope meeting today, Trump is at it again telling conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt that the Pope would rather talk about the fact that it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. And I don't think that's very good. and adding that he's endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people.

And then Pope Leo clapped back saying, should anyone want to criticize me for proclaiming the gospel, they should do so with the truth. Oh. Wow. Wow. Look at you. For years, the church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons.

So there's no doubt about it there. So I simply hope to be listened to for the valid. value of God's word. Wow, bro. That was fuck Jay-Z. What happened, Marco? Your shirt is all wet. You just won the wet t-shirt contest,

Marco. The what? One reason that they might be going to meet with the Pope. Recent polls have found that the Pope is more popular than Donald Trump. And also that Americans are deeply

uncomfortable with with religion-related statements made by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegsafe. Yeah. I don't know why. Pete Hegsafe seems like he's got a solid head on. He seems like he's spiritually in a good place. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's the, those are the Christ sweats he's always having when you see him up there. That's right. Yeah. But NBC poll gave Pope Leo a net favorability rating of plus 34, whereas Donald Trump's net favorability. is minus 12, seems favorable.

That seems like a pretty, pretty nice poll for him to minus 12. It is wild, like, having lived in the South, the South does not trust a Catholic. Right. Yeah,

they're like, not, not fans. They're like, so you believe the Pope is better than Jesus? Is that right? It's hard to, it's hard to throw that needle

when you're trying to keep a coal, of evangelicals and, you know, all the inroads he made with, like, brown voters, too. He's like, uh, do I? I mean, it's not that he even, he's even thinking that far ahead, but holy shit. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck to you, sir. All right.

Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, May 6th. We are back tomorrow. I just had a thought. What if the Pope was just like, the president is going to hell? I mean, like, what would happen? I can confirm. Yeah, it's like, hold up. Hold up.

I'm sorry. Just so you know, you will be going to hell based on your actions. Is that not clear to you? Have you repented? Okay. I think that would freak the shit out of Donald Trump. If the hope was like. I just received official word.

He's like pressing the ear piece to the ear. What's that? Oh, yeah. The dude going to hell. Straight up. Yeah. Wow, we've never got a 100%. We've had like very, you know, pretty certain, but I've received 100% certainty this dude,

your pretty heady face is going to hell. Just feel like you would fuck him up so bad. And that's why the Pope is probably, you know, that's where he's, he's pious. You know, he wouldn't do such a thing. But I wonder if he jokes. He's like, should I just, he's like, you know I got it in my drafts, right? I could just fire this shit off right now, bro. And that would be the end.

Should anyone want to criticize me? me for proclaiming the gospel, they should do so with the knowledge that they are going to hell. They are merely in the waiting room of hell. They are 100% going to hell. Guaranteed

fool. I do feel like Donald Trump, when you hear him actually talk about, you know, being worried that he's going to hell, it does sound a little bit like when he's talking about whether children believe in Santa Claus or not. Like he, I can't tell if he,

actually takes any of it seriously. I do think he's wrestling with his own mortality and is like, doesn't want to die. But I don't think he, he's like, yeah, some people say, I'm going to hell, probably pretty likely I'm going to hell. So I don't know. And part of

facing your mortality, you're now beginning to reexamine these beliefs that maybe before you didn't have. And you're like, there's no such thing to hell, right? Right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Pascal's Wager. Yeah. Yeah. You just ask everyone. You just ask

every fucking foreign leader he meets down the Oval Office. He's like, what do you think about hell? Do you think that's real? Do you ever think about death, Vladimir? What happens? Do you know? Jesus Christ. This again? Yes, dude, you're going to hell, man.

What do you want me to fucking say? I'm going to hell. You're going to work. At least we'll be there together, dude. Yeah. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday morning. We're back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.

Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get your vaccines while you still can. get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye-bye.
