Hello everyone, welcome to this week's episode of Thirsty Topics. I'm Lauren Selrod.
Speaker 2:And I'm Meryl Clemo. Hey, meryl, how are you doing today? I'm so good. Despite the world being topsy-turvy, I'm trying to stay afloat and stay happy. I found this notebook for only $1 at a garage sale. That says you're the best.
Speaker 1:Thing.
Speaker 2:I've seen on the internet today. So to me that's you, lawrence. You're the best thing I've seen on the internet today.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank you. That's so sweet of you, thank you.
Speaker 2:And you're worth way more than a dollar at a garage sale.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm going to start off with something on a lighthearted note, because we got some real heavy subjects we're getting into today Exactly Please.
Speaker 1:Well, people were waiting for up to 60 days for the release of the new Nintendo Switch 2. My thoughts is I would never, ever, ever ever wait in line two days, let alone 60 days, for anything. Right, more power to them. I'm kind of one of those weird guys. I don't play video games and stuff. Yeah, they play every blue moon, but you know I'm not the kind that's gonna. Hey, I come home from work, I'm gonna go and sit down and play my you know that bottle or whatever yeah, yeah, yeah I don't know.
Speaker 1:What do you think? Well, see yourself doing that, or?
Speaker 2:I see my boyfriend doing it, who's probably about to play a video game in the next five minutes right now. But um, no, I feel like back in the day when there was like mario one and two and three, I'd probably go and stand in line for like two hours if I had to get in a game. But two days or waiting on anything in line or like you know where they trample each other at, like GameStop or anything. I am not into that.
Speaker 1:So you wouldn't do 60 days for any game then no, no, definitely not.
Speaker 2:Maybe I would like, I don't know, maybe I would sign up for some trial period or something if I knew I was going to get it for free or some type of like VIP status. But no, I don't think so at all. I wonder, was this also the one? Remember, like we just reported a few weeks ago about how um Nintendo was even going to be delayed because of, like, the tariffs and everything? So I feel like they're almost causing this weird like in the news. It's like, okay, there's this demand for this video game. It's going definitely playing emotional tactics, I think.
Speaker 1:Oh, I agree. I agree because people are worried about the tariffs and what's going to turn to the price. Are we going to even get them? Because of what's going on. Some of it, I guess, is a little theater play, but I can't see myself waiting in line for 60 days for anything no, not even 60 minutes, you know.
Speaker 2:They do have, though. They have services where you can hire someone to stand in line for you. Really, have you ever heard that? Yeah, yep, they have. I have friends that it's so funny. I have friends that have done that like they've been. As for a job, they've gone, like um, at the rose bowl parade in pasadena. You have to wait like a million hours. So I had a friend that like did that and made money, and so he went at 4 am and basically he was like a line holder. And then I've had friends on the opposite end of things that have hired people to stand in line for them.
Speaker 1:You know what that's not you know being that people will sit in line for 60 days. That's not a bad deal. That's a nice little side hustle there.
Speaker 2:Exactly, especially if you're waiting for a concert or something and you have three hours, why not? If you can go make 50 bucks and just stand in line for someone and bring a book or do something, I'm not against it.
Speaker 1:That's true. That's true. I mean, this must be one hell of a game for people to be this crazy.
Speaker 2:I know, I know. I mean, do you think? I mean? I know you said you don't really play video games, but I guess I don't know. To me, video games do seem like they're getting increasingly better, whereas something like the iphone seems like from year to year there's not much difference. To me, at least, like the video games do seem like they are. Like. When I see my boy, when I see jack play um, like red dead redemption or whatever I'm, I'm in awe of, like the worlds that it creates, and now it looks like so close to real life that's true.
Speaker 1:I mean they have the games have really really developed big time over over the years. Is that do agree with? I don't know, do you think your boyfriend will wait?
Speaker 2:in line 60 days, he'll forget, he, he, he partakes in some things that he does while he plays video games, so he he'll forget. But but no, like I actually told him too I I said I tell him he's a very good video game player. In the way that kind of a lot of like women have issues with their men playing video games too much or it takes some time, I honestly feel like props to him where he does it the right amount of time, where it's just like watching a tv show, it's not like all encompassing or anything you know. So, um, so it's not bad, but no, not 60 minutes, not 60 minutes, not 60 hours, so not 60 days well, let's tip our hat off to those people standing in line, huh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Well, that was a good one to at least get it started, because we have some serious stuff now. So I mean, I don't even know where we want to go for this one. But basically, you know, there's been at this time at least the time that we're recording ICE, which is, you know, immigration and Customs Enforcement, which I think a lot of people just think it's the name ICE, but it stands for something. They've been doing a lot of raids here in Los Angeles and at the time it's now like I'm refreshing the news and they're saying that there's possibly talk of the Marines coming in.
Speaker 2:There has been peaceful and somewhat unpeaceful protests in Los Angeles, and a lot of it like rightly so, because they're not just taking people.
Speaker 2:You know, it seems to be the system in which this is being enacted is terrifying for a lot of people and swooping up a lot of innocent people that aren't found guilty yet guilty yet. So you know, I think people are very upset, of course, over the process of what, just what's happening. I'm in Los Angeles, I'm very close to downtown LA, and I've heard of law enforcement facing off with protesters and I've also heard of situations where protesters are like throwing rocks over the medians and cops, and it's just, it's getting scary and weird and to me, like I feel like there's so much talk about the protests and this and that, and like we can't forget of what is being happened, which is like families are getting separated and people are being taken without due process, and that's like you know, I've just seen so many videos of people having their family members like ripped from them and it's just, it's horrific from them and it's just, it's horrific.
Speaker 1:No, I agree with you. I mean, um, the images that are coming out of la right now is really heartbreaking. I mean, you know for one, for the president to jump over the governor and and bring out the national guard without a tool, you know that's pretty much unheard of. I mean, I think it was what maybe 60 years or so was the last time that's ever happened yes yeah, and then you know the threat of bringing the marines out.
Speaker 1:I mean, to me, I think we're getting to some dangerous territory. I mean, I, I get it. You know you want to try and keep the peace or whatever, but you know there are going to be some people out there burning cars and acting stupid. But really when, when you think about it, merle, there's always instigators at every peaceful rally. They really are.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But you can't just say everyone is like that.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and it's unfair, like I've heard stories, too, that people are trying to do the right thing and trying to get their immigration status and they're like at their hearing and then they're getting taken away once the hearing is done. So it's just like. It seems like right now, the rules that people are trying to play with are like, not fair and not set up for anyone to win. And you know, like I do understand, there's a level of security that we have to have for our own country, but that's like I don't know, this doesn't seem like it's really pointing towards that, like what's happening, you know, especially in LA, they're just going up to like families and people that are nicely outside, like looking for work and business owners and everything.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean, it's like they're kind of going rogue. You know, besides waiting outside courtrooms when people you know are hearing a case, like you were saying, you have situations where they raided a restaurant or they went into some other facility or whatever. I mean it's like you look at this like wait a minute, this is kind of on that borderline of a third world country. Yeah it really is.
Speaker 2:No, and I think what makes it even more terrifying is when I see these people that get taken away, like it'll be one thing if we're like okay, we know the center that they're going to go to has meets everyone's basic needs and they'll be taken care of, but like we're hearing these stories of people getting shipped to countries they're not even from and it's like a really terrible thing, and so it's like I could just imagine the fear that these people are feeling, where it's like you don't know if you're going to see your family member again, if it's like an older dad or mom, like how are they supposed to be in this weird situation? Like all of a sudden, with people being left behind, it's just like it's very inhumane. And it's scary too that it doesn't seem like there's a lot of like. I know our governor is trying, but it's like it's so weird how quickly things can escalate and how work can just get shifted.
Speaker 1:No, I agree, and you know, the real scary thing about this is when they first started, they talked about taking away all the vicious criminals, or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:If they're really bad people, no one's going to argue about that. But they've gone way past that.
Speaker 2:They're just grabbing up just grobs of people yeah, in some cases not even vetting to see if they really are legal or not legal, just literally grabbing them up and just shipping them out I know, yeah, and you don't even get a say or like you get the punishment of someone that's guilty before you even get like a trial or anything oh yeah, and you?
Speaker 1:you hear these stories about how some people are literally scooped up and luckily, you know they were let loose later, but they shouldn't have been grabbed in the first place, right? So it's like, okay, what is the criteria that you're using to grab people, if you're grabbing innocent people?
Speaker 2:yes, exactly, yep, and I've had real talks with with my boyfriend, with people here, where I'm like, okay, should we go downtown right now and, you know, be part of this? And of course, people have to look out for like their own safety and, like to me, when people are throwing rocks, it's just like it's safety. But I've I've really been trying to also just repost things that I see on TikTok and from like lawyers that are providing real solutions, saying, okay, like here's the things everyone should know. You know all these people. Make sure you have the name and number of someone that you can call. You know like actual, tangible things rather than just like us all yelling at each other, because I think there is a lot of people need to know more about like what to say if this does happen, or what free like lawyers, they're entitled to. Or you know like more of the legal stuff so that people are like a little bit more well-versed of like what to do if this does happen to them or their family.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean like here in the Chicagoland area you know, they have the Cinco de Maya parades and stuff like that. This year that was canceled just because really we're scared of even going there just because it may be hit by by ice. And you see a lot of that now, where people I mean you even have students where they're afraid to come to school because they're afraid that either them or maybe their parents may get scooped up yeah, yeah that's really sad when you think I know, I know, and it's like it's, it's so against like america and just be, you know, welcoming people and giving people the chance to make a life for themselves.
Speaker 2:It's like, it's very weird. So, yeah, it's crazy, you know, of course, like, but the one thing is that I we saw in the fires too that sometimes la gets a bad rap for everyone being like self-centered here, but anytime something happens major, I have to say. It is like new york, I'm sure chicago in the way too, where the city does come together and help each other, and that is one thing. That, like la is so diverse and people do love each other so much, so it like, I think you know people, it's nice to see people come together, but it's also under scary pretenses.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, One thing that's not scary is your governor is not scared of Trump.
Speaker 2:I know I love when he's like arrest me. Yeah, it's so funny because, like I have to admit, I did not like him at all during COVID. Like I thought he was really slimy and yeah, and it just you know, he like did one thing and kind of said another. Like he, it was just like he just seemed like he was playing like an evil superhero to me and stuff. And he notoriously went to uh, he was telling everyone like stay home, you can't go out.
Speaker 2:And then he got caught at a really great restaurant called the french laundry in napa valley, part of like a dinner party, which I'm like just tell us that we could go to dinner parties Like you know why is it okay for you guys and not.
Speaker 2:So there was definitely a little bit of like major classism going on during that time and also he just kind of was. I think he was more trying to like be a little bit performative during that time, but but now it is. I think since the fire's on I have been impressed with him and like and especially with the abortion rights and everything like lately I've been very happy to have him as governor, so I can't imagine what it would be like here right now. If we had someone that was like very militant and not for the people you know it would be, I can't imagine that now let me ask you this as being a a citizen of california yeah do you think that he's doing the right thing or taking the right approach by challenging someone like a Trump saying let's get it over with?
Speaker 2:I honestly think, in some weird sick way, I think Trump respects it, I really do. I feel like in some weird way, trump sees it and he's like arrest him. Like I really think he thinks it's like probably funny a little bit, but um, no, I think he probably knows what he's doing and he's probably so fed up of just the nonsense that at this point, like lately the press conferences I've seen with Newsom, he's seen he seems like very fed up and just kind of over it and I think since the fires I think they've been like beefing even harder than they usually are, just because of like funding and California is always kind of a target for Trump and so, yeah, I don't know, I don't think he's playing around, but that would be ridiculous if our governor's arrested.
Speaker 1:Yeah, talk about a constitutional crisis there.
Speaker 2:I know, I know. So we'll see. But in the meantime, as much as I want to help society and the world, we all have to also just be careful with our own health and our own safety and stuff. So for me, I try to look for ways to help people but also not be right in the middle. I love the people that are on the front lines. I just feel like I'm not, like I'm just too much of a little scared, weakling and stuff.
Speaker 1:so, um yeah, no, I totally understand. I mean honestly, I really hope I don't see the marines out there, because if you think about it now. Okay, yeah, there's some people doing some stupid stuff, but overall, mero, the having the, the national Guard, is really an overkill yeah, it is, and it makes people more.
Speaker 2:I think it agitates everyone so much more, and and the way that ICE is doing this is like agitating people too. I mean one thing if they, like you know, went to a house and calmly asked people, but I feel like like, like physically ripping away someone from their family is just like that's only going to cause more and more anger.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, I mean, I remember watching this story about how these people were called. I don't remember what state it was, I don't know if it was Chicago or a different state, but basically ICE agents. I don't know how they got ahold of it. They were texting the immigrants and telling them hey, you know you need to come down to the office, we want to go over your paperwork, or whatever. Well, actually they didn't realize it was ICE doing that, so when they literally got to the office, they were arrested as soon as they walked in, See, and that's not fair, Like that's.
Speaker 2:So how could that be legal in any way? That's so terrible.
Speaker 1:And when people are trying to do the right thing, people trying to hide or anything, these are people that are legally going through the process.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1:That's what's scary about it. I know they're going through it legally.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like how could? And I just don't understand why we wouldn't want those people in our country to like make everything better, and I feel like, if anything, those would be the people we do want, that are trying hard and they actually want to be here and yeah.
Speaker 1:And also, too, what you're setting up to me is now, when you get a notification, you know you may second guess. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Is this real or is this a trap?
Speaker 2:You know yep, yep, yeah, and it's like, and it's also like what systems are set in place for people that are deported and then you can't just have someone. I mean, we saw this, honestly. We saw this with like previous administrations too. People are, like you know, basically treated like animals and they're stuck, like you know, with like blankets that are aluminum foil and just it's terrible, it's very scary and weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true. Well, talk about weird. This is a weird one right here, this gentleman. His name is Lawrence Campbell. He won $5 million. Wow. Now here's the backstory to this. He purchased a ticket. Whenever you buy a lottery ticket, there's cameras all around. So they literally saw him purchasing a ticket and he said that he lost his ID. Okay, he talked to his girlfriend and his girlfriend was going to cash the ticket and they were going to split it. Uh-oh, uh-oh. You can probably guess what happened, but I'm going to go ahead and tell you. So she went on ahead and cashed the ticket and everything. And then, yeah, her name was Crystal McKay. She ghosted him.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So he ended up hiring an attorney Good, and now he's suing her and she's saying that no, I won the ticket, we didn't have any kind of agreement and now, of course, it's a legal matter. So let me ask you this Do you think, as boyfriend and girlfriend? Because one thing comes to mind for me if you lose your ID you know when you just played a lottery you have up to a year claim.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 1:So why wouldn't you just go ahead and get you some more ID claim with yourself?
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:But I don't know, what do you think? Do you think this guy was in love or just stupid?
Speaker 2:I mean I think that this girl sucks for doing that. Like I think that's a terrible, weird thing to do, like to take someone's lottery ticket, anything. Just say I'll cash this for you. Like I want to. You know, if your boyfriend and girlfriend you're not husband and wife yet, but like at least I would assume hopefully he would share some of the riches with her, or like she would get some type of 10 cut or something. I mean that's ridiculous to like say, take someone's lottery ticket and not like she should. I think she should be like sued and I think she should be penalized too. And I forgot how it is Okay. So when you buy a ticket, you don't need an ID to purchase a ticket.
Speaker 1:No, you don't need an ID. Okay, you don't need to know to purchase it.
Speaker 2:But when you claim it you have to show your.
Speaker 1:ID.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, I get that. So, yeah, I think he should have waited. But I mean, how can you trust like a girlfriend to to, like you know, I mean to cash like a five million dollar ticket, like I mean, I've been together, we've been together for 12 years and I still would like be like I have to go to the grocery store.
Speaker 1:I can't tell you why right now I would trust no one I'll be the first to tell you if we're not married. And please, women, don't get mad when I say this. There's no way in hell, I'm going to let a girlfriend catch my wedding?
Speaker 2:No, never, ever. And even just from a standpoint Of like now that is her Winnings. And even if you, even if all the trust is there, then it's like okay, now is she paying the taxes. You know, it becomes like a legal nightmare when something like that happens. It sounds like both these people aren't playing with a full deck of lottery cards to me, but I think her that is next level terrible. To go someone and take their money. I think she should have all the money taken away, plus some.
Speaker 1:But you know the interesting thing, meryl, and I know we've talked about this before. How you know, some people say money changes you.
Speaker 2:And I'm like no, money don't change you, it literally lets you be who you really are exactly, exactly because it's like a good person would have done this and then said like, okay, it'd be nice if you could, you know, help me with my car payment for a few months or something, or you know, or, or or not. Just be like this is your money and we're until we're married, or you know whatever. This is like.
Speaker 1:He won fair and square, so yeah I mean, I guess, on a positive note, he found out early how she really is yeah, I assume this would be.
Speaker 2:It'll be interesting to see how this like plays out legally but, it is his legally so like see how this like plays out legally. But it is his legally so like right. I mean, I would think this this will either be a very like involved case or will be crystal clear, easy, see the.
Speaker 1:The thing that's weird about it is, yes, he purchased a ticket, but she claimed the ticket. You know what I mean. So, yeah, kind of like you know, and then you know she goes.
Speaker 2:Well, no, it's my ticket, like you, know.
Speaker 1:And then you know she goes well. No, it's my ticket and he goes. Well, we were supposed to share the ticket, so it's oh, what a nightmare. That's why you hear people talk about yeah, when I win the lottery, I'm going to do this. I don't say any of that stuff because you know, yeah, oh, never. And people are like hey, lawrence, you said you were going to give us, we're going to sue you. You said you were going to give us so-and-so stuff. Yeah never.
Speaker 2:And I also wonder too. I mean like the fact that they, I wonder what their relationship was like before that, like if they were on the track to getting married, or if they were happy, or if she just was like okay, this is my golden ticket out.
Speaker 1:I would say for him, because I can't speak for her, I think for him to trust her like that, probably. Hey, this is the girl of my dreams, maybe one day we'll get married. But yeah, she proved him wrong, oh my god, I can't take.
Speaker 2:I feel like both of both. Stupidity makes me annoyed. I feel like they should like honestly, I don't think either of these people should have they should like donate it to like a children's engineering school or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true, but man, that's a hell of a lesson to learn though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a have your ID and then, b make sure you're the one that cashes in your lottery ticket ticket. And yeah, how you said you could just have it be on the down low for a while.
Speaker 1:go to the dmv, get your real id and then go cash it in but you know, the weird thing to me, merrill, is it's interesting when I see people play house instead of want to be house. What I mean by that is when you talk about sharing a lot of ticket or something like that, you need to both sign the ticket yeah yeah, because then it makes it binding.
Speaker 1:Or you, when you have people enter into buying real estate, doing all this stuff, I mean way beyond the, you know, sharing an apartment, I mean really, you know Now, if everything's going fine, hey, there's no problem, everything's lovely.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But if there's some issues, that's when it gets messy and it gets really, really nasty at that point.
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, yeah, it can get very weird. I also wonder, like, how that is legally so, say, if even take the girlfriend equation out, but if, like, if someone buys a lottery ticket and then they throw it in the trash accidentally and then someone finds it and it's a winner, like who, Now that I think and I'm not a lawyer, but I think that will be clear cut you do it and you take it, you screw.
Speaker 2:But what if it accidentally blows in the wind? You know what I mean. I feel like there's a million scenarios where I'm like what if it's stuck to your shoe? It's still on you. I wonder at what point it becomes someone else's.
Speaker 1:You just grab me, keep your mouth shut. No, I'm just.
Speaker 2:Exactly well, and also the fact that she wouldn't split it with him is like next level insane to me, because I could see her being Kind of like, hey, we're splitting it, what's mine is mine. That would still be questionable and not great, but like someone that hordes at all is like very and like karma is gonna come back to her times like a million.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:I feel like karma is going to come back to her times like a million.
Speaker 1:I agree, I agree, but, like I said, when you talk about buying a lottery ticket, you either cash it yourself or you both sign the ticket.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and zip your lippy and don't tell anyone. Now I know why. All these anonymous people too. Yeah, now I. Now I get it.
Speaker 1:Oh yes.
Speaker 2:There's that saying that like I forget, like it was like really wealthy people like try to almost hide their money or like you know they or they don't even they want to almost make it seem like they don't have any money, and I get that. It's like the people that don't try to be like look at me, I have gucci sneakers and you know like they try to be like I have money and then really, really, really wealthy people are like nothing to see yes, that's the best way to be.
Speaker 2:Exactly, I'm somewhere. I'm digging through the trash for the lottery ticket, that's right.
Speaker 1:Hey, meryl, do me a favor, lower your camera a little bit, because your chin is below the camera.
Speaker 2:Oh, it is Okay, whoops, yay A little bit more Perfect, perfect, right there.
Speaker 2:Okay, I thought this next one was hilarious and I wonder if this was. This is kind of close to Chicago, so I feel like this might be. You might have even heard about this, but I love this. A lost DoorDash driver ends up on the tarmac at O'Hare airport. So at first, when I first saw this story, I thought that someone had called DoorDash and I'm like, oh, that's a power move, being on like on a flight delayed and you're calling typhoon to your plane or something. But no, what it was was that, um, a door dash delivery driver accidentally entered an unauthorized secured area at Chicago airport.
Speaker 2:According to police, the driver pulled up near parked planes before being stopped by airport staff. And this is just one of those videos that you have to like see it to believe it. It's just this car that rolls up and keeps going and it's like you know right where they put the luggage and they take the luggage on the tarmac and where the people are always guiding the planes. His car pulls up and you can see him look very confused and I just think this is so funny and so ridiculous and I'm also happy that he didn't get hurt or or you know like things could have gone really wrong if a plane was landing or like the plane was taking off. But I could see me doing that, being a door gesture and then just like following the map and being like, well, google tells me to keep going. How do you even drive onto a tarmac?
Speaker 1:that's what I wanted to. I remember when that happened because that happened here in Chicago and over here, in fact, I fly in and out of that airport, so I know exactly where it's at oh my God. How is it even possible? Because if you've ever been to a large airport, there's security everywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:To go to secured areas. There's either going to be a person there and or a special badge or whatever you need to get in. You can't just walk in or drive in to certain areas. And as the driver, I'm just saying you know, maybe it's me, I would think that, ok, if I'm driving this big open field and I see these big airplanes, maybe I shouldn't be here.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying and I wonder whose door dash it was Like if it was a FAA, you know a traffic controller or something like who even ordered it, the only, like some at LAX. I could see that happening because there's an area where people are, there's almost like the smaller jets and it's. I can see you entering that way and then you could get on like a big tarmac from there. You know like you're almost going to like a private area and then I can see if you just keep going, then you're somewhere on that. So I have to wonder if maybe that's what they did, where they just like found some way to get on and kept going.
Speaker 1:But what was so crazy about it? When I saw the video, it's like not only did he like notice that, okay, this isn't right he. Not only did he like notice that, okay, this isn't right.
Speaker 2:He literally drove up to the plane. The plane, I love it. Yeah, I hope he got a tip.
Speaker 1:And everybody's just like standing around. I was like, wow, you guys are I know.
Speaker 2:There, you know, I think I think that would be so funny if it was someone that was. You know, cause they hold people for like an hour sometimes, or up to many hours on a plane, and I think that's so funny. If you're like, oh sorry, my sushi's here, like I'm just really shocked that he got that far I know me too.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why, but I found that so funny. Like I was sending it to all my friends and they're like, yeah, it's like this is kind of funny, like this is not kind of funny, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1:Once she's done laughing, then you think this is pretty scary.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the fact that he's under a plane and he's driving right. And imagine if you're the pilot. You're just seeing some random person with a box of pizza coming out.
Speaker 1:You know you're checking all your instruments. What?
Speaker 2:the.
Speaker 1:It's like a Chicago dog for someone or something yeah, I guess he really, he really was lost because he wasn't arrested or anything like that. They you know the authorities say that it was a true misunderstanding you know, oh my gosh, I love that person.
Speaker 2:and then like, then not only having that embarrassment, but then making national news. That's so sad, that's so true. I hope DoorDash didn't fire him. Yeah, I keep saying him. I know it's a him, but who knows it could be her or a man.
Speaker 1:It could be him or her, that's true. Or somewhere in between. All right. Out of all the subjects, this is probably my favorite one we're going to go over here. Well, when we started off, you know, when President Trump started off his presidency, him and Elon Musk was like best buds. They was all happy and giddy and jumping around all this fun stuff. Well, it looks like the party is over. Elon Musk and Trump are at wit's ends with each other.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you've seen everything going back and forth.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yep, let's see. Elon Musk has said that Trump is going to blow up the budget. Then he goes on to say that the reason why the Epstein files wasn't released because Trump is in the Epstein files. He says that Trump should be impeached and then Trump goes well, maybe I'll cancel the contracts, you know for SpaceX. I mean it was getting really just like whoa.
Speaker 2:I mean, it does remind me, when it's like the two bullies are fighting, like I was watching all these edits of them and I'm like set to break up music and I'm like, oh, I always feel bad. And, of course, everyone's like the fact that this is happening during pride months too.
Speaker 1:What do you think, meryl, what do you think what happened?
Speaker 2:I mean, wow, I can't believe. I mean, I think we all knew to a certain extent that this was going to happen at some point. Because of just their two weird ass personalities. I think rumors about Elon, like you know, doing drugs and being this and that, like I think he's probably on some weird tip now and I could just, and obviously from what we've seen, like it's almost par for the course that you know, once you're like part of the, the trump administration, then you kind of get turned against, or you turn against them or you know, like I I haven't heard of any stories where, like people just stay loyal.
Speaker 2:Um, so yeah, I think we knew this was going to happen, but to me that like burned so much faster and brighter than I thought I thought it would at least be another year, like that was way quicker than I even thought. And also to me, didn't we already know that Trump was part of the Epstein files? Like I think every single time that was released, like for years that his name has been one of the people on the list, so like that's no surprise to me at all. I don't know, I don't know if people are shocked by that, but like I just yeah, but Elon going crazy and tweeting, it is just like like they're both so volatile. But I think, I really think this probably hurts Trump's feelings. I really do.
Speaker 1:And then you know, trump bought a vehicle, bought one of the Tesla. So now he's talking about either selling or giving away the Tesla.
Speaker 2:I honestly think, like the shots were fired, I don't think Trump would randomly just like come after Musk, like that. He'd probably say some snide comments, but I don't think he would like go for, you know, personal insults for publicly, I think, behind the scenes, absolutely. But yeah, it's so crazy, it's so weird. So, but I feel like that happened way faster than we all thought.
Speaker 1:Oh way faster. And you know, if you think about it, you never would think this would happen. You got. You know, the president of the United States, regardless of who's sitting in that position, is one of the most powerful men in the world.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Feuding with the richest man in the world.
Speaker 2:I know, and like one of the most technological and also, according to Elon, someone that, like that, helped him win. And so the fact that Elon saying, I pretty much paid for you to win and I can take your power away and make someone else the next person, the next presidential candidate. And he was even saying, hey, republicans just know that Trump's going to only be here for a couple of years, but I'm going to be here for much longer.
Speaker 1:It's crazy. Yeah. He's like, yeah, trump's going to be here for much longer. It's crazy. Yeah. He's like, yeah, chump's going to be here about three and a half years. I'm going to be around 40 years. I'm like whoa. I mean it was getting kind of nasty there.
Speaker 2:I know, yeah, elon seems like I mean both of them for sure, but I think Elon is definitely off his rocker as well.
Speaker 1:Well, what do you think? You think they'll ever make up?
Speaker 2:No well, what do you think you think they'll ever make up? No, not after, like the kind of epstein stuff, and I mean a lot of it is true, and I feel like elon probably does know some like major secrets. Now you know, um, and I know a lot of it happened over that bill, like which I still don't really feel like I quite understand, like the big beautiful bill or whatever. But I think it's tough because it's like I think trump is so polarizing that it's just like a lot of people seem to fall from grace once they're like in his.
Speaker 1:You know he goes through like press people a lot and just employees a lot oh yeah and and we've seen it happen over time where one minute he loves you, you're you, you're better than sliced bread, next thing you go is I don't think I really know that person. Who is that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know. And then Trump saying like I offered Elon makeup for his black eye but he said no, just like, oh my God, like this is. I feel like all of our brains are not supposed to have this much information Like this, just ridiculous information.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know that behind the scenes, I guess Republicans and other people close to them kind of want them to kind of tap it down a little bit. But I don't know, I don't see this getting any better. If anything, I think it's going to escalate.
Speaker 2:I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's going to escalate, yeah, and hopefully just like goes away or just focuses back on his thing, because I think him being in this kind of circus like the doge circus for the past couple months or year, whatever has I think we talked about last week like the stockholders or the shareholders of tesla, are kind of like, okay, let's get back to work a little bit, so hopefully in a good way, elon will just ignore most of it and not create even more like nonsense and same thing with Trump, but like I don't know, I just I feel like Trump actually did like Elon and I don't see him like going after him out of nowhere. Like you know, like I think Elon kind of had to start it a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah's gonna be interesting because, um, honestly, I did think that at some point, you know, they were gonna fall out. I never thought it was gonna be this quick.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, I never thought it was gonna be this vicious either I know and I was watching these like people were sending it to sad breakup music and they were showing the tesla like the white house. And they were showing the tesla like the white house and they were showing all the times they were together and like cheering for each other and then now showing just the tweens and it was like I'm like why am I feeling emotion for this relationship? But I I think, honestly, I think it's two wounded men that are just like run by their egos and are hurt by each other and by themselves and are just like running on so much of their own like weirdness that it's just just whatever and that is so true.
Speaker 1:That is so true. So we will wait and see what happens next oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:My prediction is that they're each gonna find like a replacement for each other, like elon will find a new political bestie, and then I feel like trump will find the next, like not mark zuckerberg, but not a Bezos, but someone that's in the technology, you know route.
Speaker 1:You know, the scary part is you may be right about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I think they're going to have. It's like any relationship where you have to have a rebound and replace the other person right away.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought this was a good one. Okay, well'll leave it to good old miley cyrus to bring some drama into it, even though I like miley uh, this time she wasn't the drama, though. It was her fans, where she was just heckled into singing by fans who paid 800 for a film premiere, who thought that it was a concert. Um, she eventually c came performing an acapella version of the Climb to appease the pissed off Tribeca Film Festival attendees. So what happened was she showed up to celebrate the Tribeca Festival premiere of Something Beautiful, which is a visual album that accompanies her new record, and it was like marketed weirdly and basically I think people thought that she was performing, when really she was there to showcase a visual album. What was shocking to me is that during the Q&A a fan was screaming out we paid $800. Because this wasn't a concert, this was a film festival.
Speaker 2:I think people are used to people acting with some level of manners. Manners, or you know, it's not security where people are throwing bottles or anything. They're used to people nicely sitting there. So they weren't used to it and it got like really awkward. Another audience member shouted are you actually going to sing? And so Miley appears like totally shocked if you see the videos, and I feel like she's someone that does like her fans and she's not someone that, like wants to leave her fans high and dry. Um, so she ended up singing a little bit into the crowd. She kind of like acquiesced to what they wanted, but it it brought up a bigger discussion, which is just like. I just thought they acted like very rude and entitled and I think that is not okay. Um, however, I also understand that if you paid $800 and you're just getting a Q&A with Miley, that is not great either, but that's kind of you should have learned more about the event you're going to. What do you think?
Speaker 1:I agree with you. I mean, there's a couple things. One, film festival, okay yeah, because film festival is not a concert. Why would you think people would be?
Speaker 2:singing Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1:Second thing is you're paying $800 and you don't know what you're buying. Yeah, that's not very bright either.
Speaker 2:Right and you're at a film festival, exactly, and I would agree that, like someone like I love Alanis Morissette, to me seeing a Q&A with her is like even just as good, not better than seeing a concert I've seen a million times because, like you get to see them talk, you get to hear stuff, you know, you get to see them more as a person. So like I also feel like there's advantages to seeing a Q&A with your favorite artist yeah, I tip my hat off to Miley for going ahead and doing Acapulco yeah, I have to do that, but I tip my hat off that she did do it.
Speaker 1:But again, she was not obligated to do it.
Speaker 2:No, no and I think, like I mean that's security it could have made it worse. I think Miley knew that, like if that went on, if they got drug out of the festival, that could have been turned into something else. So just her singing for a little bit like fixed it, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true, that's true. So, like I said, I tip my hat off to her. You know better to just go ahead and give them a little bit of, a little bit of something, calm everybody down, and yeah so now, if you were at a star Trek convention and you paid $800 and it wasn't like what you thought, would you scream?
Speaker 2:Yeah?
Speaker 1:well, I don't think I'd scream, but I gotta be honest with you. As much as I love star trek, I would not be paying on 800 bucks right, or if you did, you probably wouldn't know what you're getting.
Speaker 2:It's like you're going on vacation with a cast member, like you would know exactly exactly.
Speaker 1:I mean for me to pay 800. There's be something like cool, like hey, I get to see this. You know the crew, you know the members, you know one-on-one spend some time with them, ask questions or whatever. Yeah, I can see it's been a hundred dollars for that because I can learn a lot from that not exactly you know as a fan and also as a person who's creative too. You know you can't even pay for that kind of access, so hands off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I pay for that in a heartbeat yeah yeah, like you said, I wouldn't know what I'm paying for too, though totally honestly, if I right now it's not in my budget, but like there's, uh, for the new alanis morissette concert you could upgrade to vip and for 1500 you could, like, meet her.
Speaker 2:She runs a meditation, you know all this kind of stuff. But I'm like can you imagine being someone's friend and you just hang out with them for free all the time and knowing that people are like trying to pay fifteen hundred dollars just to basically spend like 30 seconds with them? And you know, which is something I would be doing, because that's something that I see value in. I don't, I'm not going to spend that money yet, but like, honestly, like that would be something that I would probably invest in. I felt like, honestly, like that would be something that I would probably invest in. But I also realized, like what you're going to get is probably a quick, somewhat rushed thing and like a picture. You know, like I'm not going to get my own private concert, I'm going to get like a quick photo and get to meet this person. But yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:That's true. Talk about meeting someone. This is a fun one here, yay, all right, let's talk about Ed the Zebra.
Speaker 2:Oh, I saw this, the sweet little baby.
Speaker 1:Yes, so this couple bought a four-year-old zebra, which I guess in certain areas is legal, which I never knew.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:Well, they brought the zebra home and the zebra got out.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:And I think they took a day or so to try and find the zebra to. You know he was running through the neighborhoods. They finally caught him in a big open field because he was grazing and stuff like that. But I don't know, Would you buy a zebra? Even if you had the funds and the property, Would you buy a zebra?
Speaker 2:Yes, definitely. Even if you had the funds and the property, would you buy a zebra? Yes, definitely If I knew it could be safe and if it was friends with like donkeys or zonkeys or something like that, I would throw it into the mix. But it would have to be like If I knew it was safe, if it was a fit for the zebra, I totally would. I have a friend in Austin and he shows me pictures Of like farms and they have zebras there too. It seems random, but I mean, if it was like if I knew it could be safe and it was. You know, to me it's almost the same as a donkey. I don't know what care they need or like I know I think they do get sunburned pretty easily but like, yeah, if I had the land for it, I would definitely be a zebra owner.
Speaker 1:Oh nice. I mean it was kind of cool that when they finally got the zebra they put it in this harness and the helicopter was carrying it over.
Speaker 2:I know I saw that.
Speaker 1:And what was interesting is the zebra had a muzzle on him. I mean, was the zebra getting kind of a little aggressive or something I know.
Speaker 2:Maybe it did bite someone, but imagine being that high up in the air with a muzzle on it. That has to be really scary for it.
Speaker 1:That's true, that's true. But one thing I was very surprised about is they're talking about possibly donating it to the zoo or something like that. Why aren't they giving it back to the couple?
Speaker 2:I know If it was in a good house and a good, If, like a good house and a good, I mean I would be so if that's your pet, and like you're watching your pet just be taken away in a helicopter, that's like very traumatic. I would be like I'd be beside myself. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean like I said. I mean if cause animals are smart? Okay, I remember years ago we had a dog and we was cage training him because you know, our dogs were in the house, but first you got to train first and this dog, when I came home from work, I kid you, not figured out how to get out of the cage and was on top of a pile of clothes just sitting there like what's up. Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2:So animals are very smart that we give them credit for I know and it's so frustrating when someone like a zebra runs away or something Because it's like, no, we want you to be safe. You know, when cats or dogs do run away from their house Because it's like you don't know what you're running from, You're better off inside here. But yeah, I couldn't watch a video of the little sweet zebra up in the air.
Speaker 2:No, it had to be a very interesting sight, though I know you relax what the and if that was your pet or your animal, like watching it get taken away and just being at a zoo? I don't know. I'm too fragile with all the other news to think about it.
Speaker 1:Well, let's just hope that Ed is having a wonderful life.
Speaker 2:I know, sweet Ed. Well, maybe something in the future. This could actually be used to transport zebras that are flying in the air, because the Bay Area Company takes thousands of pre-orders for the first true flying car in history. So this is a real Jetson experience, like how we're going to be flying. So a leaf or a left. A L E F said it has produced a first car that has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Production of the vehicles could come by the end of the year.
Speaker 2:It's an aeronautics company and pretty much like I mean, if you see it, it really looks like what we talked about they, they hover in the air. Um, it doesn't need an airport or runway to take off. The cars are a hundred percent electric, with a driving range of 200 miles and a flight range of 110 miles, and it says that, on average, their car uses less energy per trip than a Tesla car uses less energy per trip than a tesla. Um, of course, we'd have to figure out like air, you know, airspace, because how would that work? If we could barely drive on land? I don't know how we would all be like up in the air, um, so, yeah, very interesting. It's like very weird and interesting, but I just don't know how this would work. Like you know, I don't know how this would work. Like you know, I don't know how it would work.
Speaker 1:I mean, the concept is actually pretty cool when you think about it. But here's what I picture. I picture some little spoiled kid that has a parent that buys one for them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And he's like zipping all around, you know, just going past people, houses and stuff. How do you regulate where they fly and what lanes? Because the thing is a regular vehicle. You're on streets, so you're forced. Right, we have a whole roadway and there's, you know, there's rules and regulations you have to pass and stuff you have to do when you're driving a vehicle. Well, if you're flying, it'll be basically like the wild, wild west. So now you're going to be sitting up.
Speaker 2:Next thing, you know, instead of car crash, you're going to see crashes up in the sky I know, and like I for one I'm sure there's lots of people with me I don't want to be like on a walk just having cars in front of me. Like half of why I like to be outside is just to kind of not have things like over my head. You know like it's that's very weird just to be like outside walking and have cars over you. I don't know. Just I feel like then you'll never be able to fully like get away from things oh yeah, think about it like this you're in the park, you enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1:All of a sudden, you see these cars zip right over your head.
Speaker 2:You know yeah it's, it's so weird, but I mean it is an interesting concept, but I just just like I don't know. I mean I guess this is the whole next. This is probably how they felt when it's like going away from railroads. What do you mean? You know what I mean. Like I feel like any great like shift probably has had this where they're just like they can't conceive it and then some people are able to conceptualize it and make it work, but I don't know that's true, I mean I.
Speaker 1:I would like to see how they're going to regulate that. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2:This seems like california is going to have it first, though oh, great I think california is probably going to have it first my nissan versa won't even, can't even, get up a hill. It's not going to get up a uh anything. So I mean, yeah, we'll see. I'm looking at it now. It's really interesting and people are taking orders for it. But like, I wonder if you have to have, and oh. So it said basically um, I think it was 300 000. Yeah, so at 300 000 the vehicle's price tag is steep, um, but then they think it's going to go down like way down, and then it will be the cost of a toyota corolla or a ford focus. At one point.
Speaker 1:And they said they got 3 400 pre-orders worth about 1 billion dollars yeah, but those pre-orders, isn't it like some ridiculously low amount like 150 bucks to like 1500?
Speaker 2:yeah, to get into the pre-order. Yeah, it costs $150. And, yeah, the priority queue is $1,500. I mean, I think too, if you're just a collector in any means, like even if you're not taking this seriously just to have one of those cars is probably like a smart investment idea, you know, like something cool. If you're a historian or if you're like any type of car person, you're going to want to have that original model.
Speaker 1:I see that as being, in my mind, a flex. Oh sure, hey, look what I can do. See, this is what I can afford. I see that that's what it's going to be. First, a novelty item.
Speaker 2:Definitely it is going to be upper class. Literally it's going to be like oh, she drives on the sky. You know, even when we see like banners or logos and stuff, I'm like I really hope it takes a long, long time, way past our time, before they start like making advertisements and billboards happen 24-7 in the air.
Speaker 1:That's true. That is so, so true. Well, there is a fun, fun challenge that's out there. It's called the Andy's Coming Challenge. Now, for some people who don't know what this is, have you ever watched Toy Story? Yes, Okay. Now, in the first Toy Story, I think it's, maybe a couple of times it's happened where the toys are sitting there talking, doing their thing and then all of a sudden someone goes hey, Andy's coming. And then you all fall down and just be still. So that's the challenge on TikTok, where everyone's doing this. They start talking and like Andy's coming.
Speaker 2:And then they all drop. That's so cute I think that's so cute.
Speaker 1:That's actually a pretty cool challenge. I like that yeah.
Speaker 2:Remember the mannequin challenge, where people were like a few years ago. Yeah, that reminds me of that too, where it's like I think these things are very sweet and they're just very like harmless. I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, we're going to try it. I'm going to do that.
Speaker 2:I'm going to say it Dipped out for a few seconds. Okay, I'll be talking. Your talking was pretty good on that. It was good. I wasn't as wooden as I usually should be, but yeah, that's so cute.
Speaker 1:That was actually a pretty cool challenge. I like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like it too. I like when these things are. This is what we should be using social media for. There you go, um. Okay, let's see my last one.
Speaker 2:Interesting another music industry one is that um eminem files 109 million dollar lawsuit against meta for unauthorized use of his music. He accuses Meta of rampant infringement, knowing infringement and alleging that the company encouraged billions of users to do the same, all without a license. Now, I totally believe this. I'm definitely on Eminem's side and I feel like a lot of his songs are like sampled, you know, legally and not legally.
Speaker 2:Um, according to the rap, the lawsuit filed 30 uh may 30th by m&m's music publishing company, uh, accuses the social media giant meta of distributing the rapper songs without a valid license. Uh, they're seeking 150 000 per track, a figure that could total as much as 109 million dollars. So, basically, like the uh for like layman's terms is it was saying that his music were you were using meta libraries and so people were able to like use his music when meta didn't actually get the licenses through, um eight mile style because they did not grant them. Feel free if you I feel like I'm explaining it awkwardly, if you if you know an easier way for me to say it feel free to do it, but pretty much that's.
Speaker 1:That's what I great job. I mean, just like when you make a post and they have music that you can choose. Uh, at the bottom, you know those are licensed music. So if his music is there and they did not properly acquire them, then uh, yeah, I. I think that's probably going to be a pretty easy lawsuit from the group.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and it said they removed some of the songs, including 2002, lose Yourself, following complaints, but then Meta still continues to host unauthorized cover and instrumental versions. Still continues to host unauthorized cover and instrumental versions. Now I mean that's tough because, like I don't, know I would argue that some cover versions.
Speaker 2:I don't know that gets tricky then because it's like, okay, well then that's just people covering it and instrumental, but, um, I don't know, very interesting. I wonder for eminem, like how much of this is versed, and that he's like really upset versus like, yeah, trying to get a payday maybe a little bit of both, I don't know.
Speaker 1:See, the problem with covers is there's a really thin line when it comes to covers, because, let's say, you're a band and you're a cover band, you're basically playing other people's music and you're getting paid to do that. Will the artists come after you? No, they're not going to come after you for that. Now you can't go out and just like take this stuff and put it in streaming because, yeah, you were able to suit that way. So it's kind of like a thin line there. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, and I like I mean, I don't know what the problem is. I also wonder too, maybe he's getting no money for this or I feel like maybe eminem, as we talked about a lot of times. I wonder the types of contracts and like licensing deals that he signed, and maybe we think he makes so much money from all these songs, but maybe it's like he is actively losing money with having his songs on meta I would say that in the music industry it's changed over the years.
Speaker 1:Um, I'm old enough to remember the cd and records yeah me too. I love the cd and you know pretty much that's how musicians really made their money off of physical sales. Yeah, in the day of streaming, you know most people don't make any real money off streaming. You know they make money off concerts, they make money off their merch, they make money off of you know a lot of different things that supports the music. So the music that supports other things. So it's a whole different way of how it's done now.
Speaker 2:You know yeah, yeah, but this should be interesting and I feel like if anyone has good lawyers, it's probably eminem, so hopefully this also won't cost him too much, because I can see this I mean that's going to be very, very costly, like going up against Meta, who probably has the best lawyers in the business, and you know the thing about it is.
Speaker 1:You know Meta is a multi, multi-billion dollar company. So, I mean, for us, $109 million is like holy shit, that's a lot of money. But to a multi-billion dollar company it's like, eh, okay, let's throw in $50 million, $60 million, let's try to settle with him. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Yep, it's a big number, but again, to a company like Meta, I don't think it's really that big to them.
Speaker 2:I know, but I could be wrong. This I know, but I couldn't be wrong. This is where I'm like a bad consumer because I'm like, instead of this Eminem, I want you to make more and more music. Like I just you know I understand that he has to go through his own personal plight and like legally do his stuff, but I want I know he did come out with a new album or a new song not too long ago, but I'm like I just I need, I want more Eminem, basically, but not just in the news for suing someone.
Speaker 1:I hear you, but something tells me they're going to settle this pretty quickly. What do you think?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do too. I do too, which would be nice for him. Imagine just randomly getting $60 million. Then maybe he'll give some to the guy that lost the $5 million in the lottery. That's what I would do.
Speaker 1:Don't do it again. I'm scared.
Speaker 2:Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1:And then I would like bankrupt the girlfriend that stole it. Well, Meryl, what do you have coming up?
Speaker 2:Ooh, the next thing, let's see. The next thing I'm going to plug is I'm going on family vacation, which is fun, but show wise. June 25th I will be at a place called the Gold Rail in Glendale. It sounds like a weird bar, but it's just. It's a fun bar. I'm really excited about the comedians that are on the show with me. There's some of like the you know so such great local LA comedians that are very, very funny, so I'm grateful for that. So yeah, june 25th at the Gold Rail bar in Glendale.
Speaker 1:Nice, nice Everyone. Please make sure you support Meryl if you're in the area. Thank, you.
Speaker 2:This has been a lot of fun, Meryl, I know I feel like the news. It's so nice to have like a nice outlet to talk about crazy news.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, that's true. Well, for everyone. I do appreciate you watching us or listening to us. If you're listening on podcast, please continue to support us and let everybody know to tune in and watch us or listen to us sometime.
Speaker 2:Yep, and I'll be off next week, so I hope everyone has a great week on me on summer vacation, and so I can't wait to catch up with everyone in two weeks.
Speaker 1:Nice, and then what I'll do on the podcast. I'll put some bonus episodes on there from one of my other shows, so we still have fresh material.
Speaker 2:Okay, good, imagine if we had old material where it's like we're so happy that Elon and Trump are friends, like exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1:Well, everyone have a great time. I'm Lawrence Elrott.
Speaker 2:I'm Meryl Clemo.
