Lux presents Hollywood. Lux Radio Theatre brings you Cary Grant and Claudette Colbert in The Awful Truth with Phyllis Brooks. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, that a feeling of gaiety and excitement along Hollywood Boulevard tonight, lights are ablaze and crowds are gathering in front of our theatre. All the visible signs of a Hollywood opening are here to welcome the Lux Radio Theatre back to the air after our summer vacation, but there's another scene that interests us more than the bright lights on Hollywood Boulevard. The scene repeated some millions of times throughout the country. It's the scene in your living room where you and your family once more occupy the reserved seats which are yours tonight and every Monday night. You are the ones who've made this theatre possible by your purchases of Lux Flakes and Lux Toilet soap. We owe you an obligation to make this new year in the Lux Radio Theatre the most entertaining in our history. And tonight we pay you the first installment on this obligation by presenting The Awful Truth starring Claudette Colbert and Cary Grant, which reminds me that we still owe an obligation to Miss Colbert. Whenever she's done a comedy for us in the past, Claudette has always said that next time she'd like to do a serious drama and we solemnly promised that she could. And we'd keep that promise if she'd give us the chance. But we're continually finding comedies that she insists on doing. And I'm not a man with either the courage or the inclination to refuse Claudette anything. At lunch not long ago, we talked about plans for the opening, for the coming season in the Lux Radio Theatre. The moment I mentioned The Awful Truth, I noticed a hungry gleam in Claudette's eyes. But quickly explained, of course, that wouldn't interest you, it's a comedy. I was wrong again. Before we came to desert, Claudette was asking for the script. The memorable performance of Cary Grant as Jerry in the film produced by Columbia Pictures Corporation instantly suggested him for the same role in our radio adaptation, but he was easier to cast than to find. In fact, Cary Grant is probably one of the hardest men in Hollywood to find. Our intelligence service, however, tracked him to the beach where he'd gone swimming with Phyllis Brooks. That gave us another idea, and we signed them both right there, dripping wet. And so, ladies and gentlemen, the very pleasant truth is that we're ready to give you the awful truth. As we raise the curtain on a new season in the Lux Radio Theatre, enact one of our plays, starring Cary Grant as Jerry and Claudette Colbert as Lucy, with Phyllis Brooks as Barbara. The sun lamp room of a midtown Manhattan athletic club, hank the attendant his piling towels on a shelf, as a young man in Jim Trunks makes a hurried entrance. He's Jerry Warriner, a tall young man, well built and healthy, but just now there's a sharp contrast between his decided power and the two dark, magnificent circles under his eyes. With a quick movement, he bounces up on the table and stretches out for a durious way. All right, hank, my man, turn on that sun lamp, give her all she's got. Well, about 15 minutes on each side is all I'd recommend, Mr. Warrner. No, 15 minutes, nothing. I've got to get a deep Florida tan if it takes all afternoon. Give it the juice. Well, OK. Atta boy. All aboard for Miami. Pound beats and points out. Hi, Jerry. Oh, hello, Frank. I heard you were in here. Thought maybe you'd like to play a little squash. Sorry, Frank, no time. Say, you're awfully white-skinned for a guy who just spent two weeks in Florida. No, that's just what I thought. What did you do down there? Carry a parasol? Or, uh, didn't you go? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, don't let any idea like that get around. Uh-huh. I get it.  Oh, now look, Frank, I'm surprised at you. I'm supposed to have been in Florida. Now, suppose one of Lucy's friends says, why, isn't he tanned? Well, Lucy's going to be embarrassed. Well, I'm going to be tanned. Lucy's not going to be embarrassed. And what wives don't know won't hurt them. What was it? A poker trip? Sure. A fellow's going to bust out once in a while. Assert his independence. Boy, did I assert it. Ah, you certainly look it.  Why not?  Uh, maybe. Anyhow, how about coming over to my house for breakfast? We were all out late last night and some of the gang are stopping by. I got a better idea. Everybody come to my place. Lucy will fix up breakfast for us, and maybe later we can sneak away and play some golf. What do you say? I'm convinced. I'll see you later. Ladies and gents, come on in. The joint is yours. Jerry, that's Sunburn. You're positively familiar. Yeah. Wait till Lucy sees what Florida did for you. Yeah, where is she? Hey, Lucy! Lucy! Surprise! Hey, where's Mama? Where is she? Welcome back, Mr. Warner. Hello, Celeste. Will you tell Mrs. Warner I'm here? I'm sorry, sir. Mrs. Warner's not at home. Not home? Where'd she go? I don't know, sir. Oh, well, uh, uh, when did she leave? I'm not sure, sir. I think last night. You mean she hasn't been to... Oh, well, okay. Never mind. Uh, what's the matter, Jerry? No welcoming arms to greet you this trip? Mind your own business. Well, yeah. Come to think of it, she probably ran up to a ramp at this cabin in the mountain. She always dodged it. She gets lonely. I suppose her Aunt Patsy wasn't home? Oh, I get it. I'm up to my neck and funny people, huh? No, no, seriously. I wish Lucy would go out and get some fun for herself now and then. Do it good. That's the trouble with marriage. People are always imagining things, and the next thing you know, they end up in a divorce court. Ah, the broad-minded man from Miami. Yeah, yeah. Well, if you think you're going to get a chance to prove my broad-mindedness, you're crazy. She's up at Aunt Patsy's cabin while I'll bet on it. Saying, is that a spot, Frank? Why, the fish just... Hello, everybody. Up at Aunt Patsy's cabin, eh? Well, there's Patsy now. Some fun, eh?  Hey, turn that radio off, will you? Oh, Patsy, how did you get here? By invitation. Lucy invited me yesterday on the phone. Say, what is this? Lucy invites me, no Lucy. Where is she? I don't know. I... Jesus, good to see you. Oh, it's grand. You're looking marvelous, Jerry. Yeah? Oh, oh, I nearly forgot Alma. Alma, come on in and meet everybody. Alma's the best music teacher a woman ever had. Aren't you, Alma? Thank you, my dear. You know Alma, Levi Jerry, of course. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. How are you? How do you do? Everybody else, this is Alma. How do you do? All introduced, I can relax. Oh, Alma and I have the most terrible time. Yes. I imagine you must have. Where was the recital? Oh, now, silly, what do you mean? Oh, I didn't know they had recitals in the morning and the people went to them in evening clothes. That's horrible, isn't it? Well, Alma does look silly in tales at this time of the day, doesn't she? Oh, it was such an awful time. Oh, why? Somebody sing off pitch? Oh, now, stop it, darling. You don't know what happened. Alma's car broke down a million miles from nowhere. He had to park near the front house and hike to the nearest town to get them to tow the car. And then he had to stay there, hang around garages and things to pick me up in the morning and bring me home. Oh, that's all right. It was dreadful. We were coming home from a party. You were the loveliest human being there. Oh, thank you, Alma. You say the nicest things. Well, Jerry... You understand, don't you? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Mr. Werner, you have the continental mind. Oh, sure, that's it. I've got a continental mind now. So sorry, but I have to run. That horrible dressmaker of mine. Oh, of course, darling. You know too, Lucy. I'm sorry. Oh, wait a minute. What's the idea? The party hasn't even started yet. Oh, sure, sure. We know, but you probably want to talk to Lucy. Oh, come on, people. I'll give you all a hand. Oh, OK. Mr. Luvel, why didn't you let Frank give you a hitch? I wanted to explain. You see, Mr. Werner, the next time I take your wife out, I hope... I hope you buy a new car, else alone you're mine. Are you hungry? Oh, thanks. Well, yes, I am.  Big strong fellow like you should take care of himself, sitting in drafty garages all night. Mr. Werner, what have I done? That's what I'm going to find out. Oh, now, Jerry... Well, we'll discuss this in private, please. That is, if Mr. Luvel can remember where we keep our door. Very well. Perhaps it's best this way, Lucy. Will I see you soon? Well, of course. Oh, it's all been so perfect, Lucy. Thank you for everything. And, Mr. Werner, I think you must be out of your continental mind. You know, that was pretty funny at that. I mean, would he just... Oh, very funny. Brush me off, will you? Well, he's gone. You can speak freely, darling. Well, Lucy, what have you got to say for yourself? For yourself. Oh, that's so smart. Well, I knew you'd say that, and I'm prepared to answer. Our ma was invited to the party by a young man whose sister is a pupil of our ma. Our ma invited me to go along. I went because I could think of nothing better to do. Believe it or not, I was lonely. Yes, and then the car broke down. Yes, and then I stayed at the farmhouse. I slept badly because of insufficient blankets. Twice during the night, I coughed. Now, let me see. Was there anything else? Now, look, Lucy, this situation isn't amusing, although you seem to think it is. If you had sense enough to see it, you'd know that our marriage is teetering on the edge of a cliff. Well, you'll try to be funny, but perhaps marriage doesn't mean anything to you. Perhaps you've no sentiment left for me. Look at this on the table, a letter I wrote you from Florida and you didn't even open it. It's enough to destroy one's face, isn't it? Oh, I haven't any faith left in anyone. Not even in that conscientious soul at Miami Beach who followed your direction so nicely and nailed me a letter every day? What on earth are you talking about? Oh, darling, you look so cute with your little athletic club sudburst.  Well, I don't like to be unpleasant, Jerry, but you were not in Florida. God, don't change the subject. You weren't in Florida and you weren't in Montreal that time you said you were going there. Once you even had the letters mailed from the wrong place. Huh? That dear Lucy, Charleston is such a quaint city. And the quaint thing about Charleston is Charleston's postmark is Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Nice trick your friends laid on you. No, no, wait a minute. Don't try to justify your behavior by insinuating things about me. What? But I haven't any behavior to justify. I've just been unlucky, that's all. You came home and caught me in the truth. It seems there's nothing less logical than the truth. Oh, a philosopher, huh? You don't believe me? How can I believe you? Oh, listen, Jerry, don't you see that there can't be any doubt in marriage? The whole thing is built on faith and if you've lost that, you've lost everything. Yes, I suppose when that's gone, the marriage is washed up, isn't it? Do you mean that? Sure. Oh, I guess that settles it. I guess it does. Let me tell you something. Well, let me tell you something. I wouldn't go on living with you if you were dipped in platinum. So go on. Oh, go on, divorce me. It'll be a pleasure. Divorce you?  Do you think I want people to think you prefer that music lover to me? Huh? Well, then I'll divorce you. It's customary anyway. I think it has something to do with the husband being a gentleman. Never mind the gentleman stuff. Just get going on it. Go on. I'll call the lawyer right now. By the way, what's the most convenient day for you to be divorced? This is Werner. The court grants an interlocutor decree of divorce to the plaintiff Lucy Werner. The divorce, if not further contested, will become final in 90 days from this date. That will be all. One moment, Your Honor. There's one matter still unsettled. According to my client, Mr. Werner, it's a matter of... Uh, Mr. Smith. Yes, Your Honor. Mr. Smith. And who is Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith is a... He's their dog. No, no. Mr. Smith is my dog. He's mine. Uh, silence. But Mr. Smith belongs to me and she's got him. I told you to keep quiet.  I told you he was impossible to get along with. Oh, well, let's hear it. The animal at present is in Mrs. Werner's possession. Mr. Werner wishes to have him because... Because he's mine. He is not. Yes, so. He is not. Silence. He is not. This seems to be a custody case. And in custody cases, we frequently permit the final decision to rest with the, uh, the dog. Ah, ah, well, now we're getting somewhere. Now let Mr. Smith decide whom he wants to live with. Silence, please. Well, Bailiff, have the dog brought in. The custody of the dog will depend on his own desires. And let me warn you, neither of you must use any false means of influencing the animal's decision. Unpassion the dog, please. Now, you may each call the dog. Mr. Smith came to me, Your Honor. Custody of the dog is awarded to Mrs. Werner. Wait a minute! Well, that wasn't fair, Judge. Silence. The court is adjourned. Good day, Your Honor. Wait a minute. Come back here, you. You mean me? What's Mr. Smith doing with that rubber bone in his mouth? Well, it always was his favorite bone. Where did he get it? How would I know? Oh, you. You've stooped to anything. You hit that bone under your handbag and Mr. Smith smelled it. You're not going to get him away from me like that. Get him? I've got him, darling. Goodbye. Oh, why, Aunt Patsy? Is it doing anything besides folding? I don't think so. Nothing unusual ever happens around here. If I'd known we were going to be buried side by side, I'd never have considered taking an apartment with you. Yes, but I needed you, Aunt Patsy. You know the period of readjustment that comes in the wake of a divorce. Readjustment, my foot. Just another word for moping around. Oh, don't be silly. Oh, why, you know dozens of men who turn hands and try to take you out. But no, you'd rather sit around and readjust yourself. No, you're just an old grouch, that's all. Yes? Well, this is one old grouch who wants to go somewhere with his life, and I don't mean plant life. Well, we can't go out without escort, so that's that. Well, I don't need an escort to go down to the lobby. I'm going down to the newsstand and see Joe. He may be funny-looking, but he's a man, and maybe he knocks off early. Oh, Aunt Patsy, you wouldn't. Oh, I wouldn't, eh?  Are you Mr. Wainwright? Well, I guess I've read pretty nearly everything here, Joe. Too bad, ma'am. Isn't it? I'm so bored. It's too bad they stop printing zippy stories. Yes, ma'am, that's what my wife says. Oh, she does, I see. Oh, pardon me, but did that copy come in of the Tulsa, Oklahoma bugle? Sorry, Mr. Leason. I guess maybe there's something wrong with the mail. Oh, that's too bad. Looks like I won't find out how we did it through O'Dale. Oh, ha-ha. How do, ma'am? Ooh, ha-ha, funny do. I hope you don't think I'm fresh. My name's Dan Leason, room 1214. Ma'am, I see you're coming in and going out sometimes. Oh, ha-ha, we've noticed you, too. You did? Well, say, who is that beautiful girl that's with you sometimes? And she has a dog, and, eh, well, she's beautiful. Oh, that's my niece, Lucy. She's just a little homebody. No. Mm-hmm. Say, I wonder if you do me a favor. Why, of course I would, Mr. Leason. What is it? Well, you see, I'm a stranger in town, and I thought that we might talk about a wonderful thing down there. Oh, I think it's just wonderful that we met this way. Oh, Lucy, Lucy, may I present Mr. Leason? Mr. Leason, this is my niece who was so anxious to meet. Her name is Lucy Warrner. How do you do? Oh, how do you do, ma'am? Uh, Mr. Leason, Mr. Leason's from Oklahoma, Lucy, and he'd take it as being right neighborly of us if we'd show him some of the bright spots. Well, it's raining rather hard. And Mr. Leason lives right across the hall with his mother. Isn't that what you said with your mother? Yep, with Ma. We're here on a visit. I'm in oil, you know. Oh, marinated, so to speak. Say, that's a good one. I must remember to tell that to Ma. Oh, I'm sure she'd adore that. Well, tell us all about Oklahoma, Mr. Leason. Well, we all think Oklahoma is... Well, it's pretty darn swell, isn't it? Oh, there's the door. I'll get it. Yes, Mr. Leason? Well, like I was saying, ma'am, Oklahoma is pretty darn... Oh, dear. Well, how's that for the intent, though? Well, well, hello, Lucy. Hello. What do you want? Well, now read this little legal document. I guess that'll explain better than I could. Well, what is this? That's a writ. That's what it is. A writ. The court just ruled that I'm permitted to see Mr. Smith for two hours a week. I am permitted to take Mr. Smith walking, riding, motorplay, no, motorboating, or aquaplaning. No, not aquaplaning. That's too dangerous, isn't it? Well, the order reads that I can visit with him and entertain him in any form or manner that does not endanger life or limb. And that would rule out aquaplaning. I suppose you've come to take him bicycling. Well, in this weather, are you crazy? Why, he catches death of cold. No, I've come to entertain him in any form or manner. Hey, where are you? I'll get him. Oh, Miss Warner, perhaps I... Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Leeson. This is my husband. Oh, I mean, oh. Well, he's only my husband for... How much longer is it? Oh, it's 60 days. No, no, no. 59. Well, how are you, Mr. Leeson? Howdy. I'm glad to know you. Excuse me, what do you say? I said, I'm glad to know you. Oh, well, well, well, well. How can you be glad to know me? I know how I'd feel if I was sitting with a girl and walking. Yes, I'll bet you do. What's that supposed to mean, huh? Nothing, nothing. Why don't you go and play with the dog? Sure, where is he? Hey, Mr. Smith. Where are you, fella? Oh, he's got this boy. See you, old fella, it's good to see you. Look what I brought you. You're all not a scrap. Come on, let's have a talk about it. You tell him he's about to play home on this, at least. Oh, yes. Well, I'm really a man of many interests out there, Mrs. Warner. Oil is my main business, of course. And I can't complain about that. It's treated me fine. And I have a big ranch that's more of a hobby than anything outside of Tulsa. Hi. Aunt Patsy, what are you doing here? Hi. Why don't you come out along with Mr. Leason? Patsy, Patsy, let me out of here. I'm lost here. Say, is anything wrong? Oh, no. I'm in the past with the dog. Oh. Good night, Aunt Patsy. I hope you know what you're doing. Good night, dear. Good night. That's what I am framed. Ha. You're trying to cook up something between my wife and that buffalo bill, aren't you? Your wife? She's still my wife for 60 days. 59. All right. 59, but she's still my wife.  And what are you going to do about it? You'll find out what I'm going to do. Stick around and watch. I've got some rights around here. To entertain Mr. Smith in any form or manner.  It seems a jerry to make good on those threats. We take a brief intermission from our play to hear from Mr. Rueck. Ladies and gentlemen, in our intermission before act two of the awful crew starring Claudette Colbert, a great grant with Phyllis Brooks, we bring you a musical interlude. Three charming young ladies will sing a song suggesting something about our product, lux toilet soap. Well, Sally, and what is your song going to be? Sweet Sue, Mr. Rueck. Shall we sing it? Yes, please. A sweet song. And you chose it because... Well, Mr. Rueck, because we think one of the nicest things about lux toilet soap is the way it leaves you feeling so sweet. So sweet Sue reminds you of a lux girl. Hmm, that's nice. And it's true that lux toilet soap leaves you feeling sweet and dainty. That's why it's such a delightful bath soap. Really, a fragrant lux toilet soap bath is the most refreshing experience you can have on your tired and feeling sort of, well, uncharming. It's rich, creamy, active lather. Just floats away, perspiration and dust and dirt leaves you utterly dainty. And when you consider how little lux toilet soap costs, only a few pennies, why every member of the family can share the luxury of this kind of bath. You know, it's because so many millions of cakes of lux toilet soap are sold that it can cost so little. So everybody, fathers, mothers, youngsters, babies, can have its gentle care. Remember that it's gentle. It cleanses beautifully. It leaves you dainty and sweet and charming to other people, as you always want to be. Buy three cakes at a time so that lux toilet soap will always be at hand. Our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of The Awful Truth, starring Claudette Colbert as Lucy, Carrie Grant as Jerry, with Phyllis Brooks as Barbara. It's morning, a few weeks after Jerry's hectic visit. Across the breakfast table in the lonely apartment, Aunt Patsy is looking at her niece with an expression of growing horror. What did you say, Lucy? I said, of course I liked Dan Leeson. Why shouldn't I?  You introduced him to me. Only because he was a man who could take us out. I didn't expect you to get silly about him.  I was married to one of those gay romantic types, and one's enough. Your toast is burning. Lucy, do you know what rebound is? That business of trying to get over one love affair by bouncing into love with somebody else. Yeah, it's fine. Except the rebound is rarely the real thing. There's the first bounce, the second bounce. And well, look at me. You wind up like an old tennis ball. Now look, I tell you I'm serious about Dan Leeson. He's a fine person. I liked him. I like him very much. I'm all through with Jerry. He doesn't mean a thing to me. I don't love him. What's more, I probably never did. I guess that surprises you, doesn't it?  I can hardly wait to see him tonight. And I hope he's just mad about me because I think he's the finest man I ever met. Lucy. I know, my toast. Mr. Goodness, Mr. Warner, I think it's simply wonderful of you to come here just to hear me sing. Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Mr. Warner, you're awful sweet and all that, but you always seem to have your mind on someone else. Or maybe it's someone else. Am I right, sugar pie? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm in love with love. Uh-huh. In the spring, a young man's fancy likely turns to what he's been thinking about all winter. Say, uh, how long have you been talking like Amos Nandy? Oh, for a long time. It helps me in my work.  Who's that girl just looking pretty to just coming in? Oh, well. Oh, my, my. Well, you've heard that gag this time around, town. Who was that lady I saw you with? You mean that's no lady, that's your wife? Ah, that's my wife. I guess this is our table over here, Lucy. Sit down. Come on over and meet her. Uh-uh, this is Miss Dixie Belle Lee. This is Mrs. Warrener, and this is Mr. Leeson. The gentleman, Mrs. Warrener, is going to marry. That's right. I'm not about to meet you all. Now, you're sure we're not intruding, huh? Well, what do you mean? Well, wouldn't you like to buy us a drink? Oh, oh, well, yes, of course. Well, sit down. Oh, thank you. Ah, well, my, my, my. Isn't this cozy, huh? So, uh, so you two are going to be married, huh? Oh, I was glad when I heard that. Yes, I said to myself that Leeson's just the man for Lucy, and then I said to myself... He's always talking to himself. Yes.  Dixie Belle Lee. Oh. Do you like it, honey? I'm so glad, because I kind of feel like the place is mine.  Well, I work here. Didn't you all know that? No, no. Say, you're from the South, aren't you? Now, isn't he just the cleverest, yes. How'd you all ever guess that, Mr. Man? Oh, I don't know. It was just a shot in the dark. Shot? Shot with that? Well, you see, Dixie Belle Lee isn't her real name. No? Oh, no, no. She changed it because her family objected to her going into show business. Isn't that right, Dixie? That's right. Well, I guess I'd better go now and get ready. You reckon you all can stay to see my aunt? Of course we'll stay. Well, nothing could drag us away. Well, I'll see you later, honey child. I'll be here. Mm-hmm. She seems like a lovely girl. Ah, she is, Lucy, but wait till she sings. A golden throat, that's what. I keep coming here all the time just to listen to her. How faithful of you. Does she really sing awful good? Well, no. I don't think her singing's up to Lucid now. Dixie has a sort of an elfin charm.  Dan, dear. I don't. Don't you think you ought to ask Jerry about it now? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. About what? About our mind, Jerry. What mind? Our mind. You know our cold mind. It's our last time, Jerry. And, well, I was telling Mr. Leeson how badly it was doing, and he thought maybe he could do better with it. That's right. I'd like to gamble on it, Mr. Warner. I'm pretty lucky.  I can guess. Well, how about us having a conference at my apartment tomorrow? Well, I don't know. I'll have to think about it. That presents that great little artist, Miss Dixie Belly. Oh, isn't it? I mean, unless she does a tank act. Uh-uh. Shh. Listen to this. I got an invitation for Mrs. Hudson. Say, she'd go great in Oklahoma, wouldn't she? Come on. Swing it, Miss. Well, what's the trouble, Lucy? Dan, I think you'd better take me home. But, Lucy, we can't walk out in the middle of Miss Lees singing. Oh, don't you like her, Lucy? Oh, I love her, yes. I can see now it was easy for her to change her name and for her whole family to change this. Come on, Dan. Well, all right, if you want, Lucy. Don't forget tomorrow afternoon at my apartment, Mr. Warner, about that mine. I'll be there. Big boy. All's best after all. I want to hear all about these mines. Well, I've got all the records and history with me. Oh, by the way, Lucy, I searched all over for the report McCall made before we bought it, but I couldn't find it. You must have it. Well, perhaps I have. Well, when you get a chance, take a look through your stocking drawer with you. You know, Dan, she always hides important things in the top drawer of her dresser. She does? Oh, sure. Sure, it's an old habit of hers. Every legal paper we ever had smelled a sachet. Even our marriage certificate. About the mine, Mary. Oh, yes, yes, the mine, uh-huh. I guess you don't know this fella here, Ma. He's Jerry Warner, Ma. Hello. I've seen you here, Mr. Warner. Is it? Well, it's funny seeing you. I met some people today and they spoke about you and, uh, about Lucy too. They knew you both before the divorce. Oh, I imagine you're running to dozens of people who did. They spoke very well of you, Mr. Warner. They said you were a real gentleman. No kidding. Got any gum? No. They, uh, they talked about Lucy too. Well, isn't it nice not to be forgotten by your old friends? You know, Lucy, as many times as I've heard your fine singing, I never realized that you, uh, must have had a teacher teaching you for some time in a romantic time. This woman I was talking to told me that, uh, oh, well, no matter. What's that, Ma? Look at this map, please. Now, about this new opening in the northern side of the mine. Now, Lucy, now let me show you the prospectus. Jerry, I think I ought to tell you that nobody's listening to you. Huh? Huh? What do you mean? Now, what could possibly be more interesting than the war in their mind? The war in a divorce. The gal's name meets clear in part. Oh, that's ridiculous. Is it really? Certainly, Mrs. Leeson. And so are you. Ah, no, no. Damn, relax, relax. No, Mr. Cubs. I'll explain. Mrs. Leeson, our divorce was one of those tragedies you read about in the newspapers. Yes? A trusting woman and a worthless man. Lucy's above suspicion, Mrs. Leeson always has been. She's as pure as the driven snow, as faithful as she is fair. I tell you something wonderful went out of my life when I lost her. Yep. I know just how you feel, Mr. Warner. How can you know how I feel to have used up the best years of a woman's life? Huh? Oh, well, folks, that's the way it goes. Excuse me, Mrs. Leeson, you're sitting on my prospectus. Oh, sorry. Well, I'll be going now. Take good care of her, Dan, won't you? I'm sure you'll be happy out where the West begins. All three of you. Maybe you'll succeed, Dan, where I failed. Goodbye now. Are you convinced about everything? What about the music teacher? Oh, now, look, you two.  What? And let me know how it all comes out. I'll tell you. Put a light on the window if it's yes and two if it's no. Lucy, will you? And if you can't make up your mind, just pull down the shade. Come on, Leval. I've got to do with all this. Why is he coming here? Because I sent for him. You said that. I still say why. He ruined your last happy home. He'll bust the Oklahoma deal wide open. That's just it. There isn't going to be any Oklahoma deal. I'm not going to marry Dan, Lucy. Why not?  There's nothing I can do about it. Bring it in. I'm a mad woman. Please stop this. Answer the door, will you? Come on, come in. How are you, my dear Lucy? I got your call. Yes. Look, I'm not. Sit down, will you? It's about Jerry. Ah, yes. Your husband. He's a very funny man, yes? Yes, he is. But I'm convinced he still cares about me or he wouldn't do the funny things he does. Yes, but he doesn't care much about me. No, he doesn't. No. And that's just what I'm getting at, Alma. You know that everything was all right that night.  I'd be glad to. Does he carry a gun? Now, you're not afraid of him. Oh, of course not, no. But you know husbands. Then you'll do it as soon as possible, won't you? He mustn't know that I've had anything to do with it. Oh, very well. As soon as possible? Open up. Oh. Oh. It's Jerry. Oh, but this is much too soon. Oh, of course it is. We'll do something. I know what should I do. Well, you can't stand there. Go in the other room and hurry and don't come out. I don't care for this. Well, neither do I. Let him in on that. What's the matter? I, uh, nothing. You two want to be alone. No. Let's get right down to it. I've been a sack. Have you? I want to apologize. I know that Camp Nouvel couldn't have meant anything to you. But, well, guys, I can just make me murderous. I just want to... Oh. Oh, well. I just want to say I'm sorry for everything, dear. Oh, Jerry. Oh, look, Jerry. Let's meet later and talk it over, shall we? Sure. Yes, that's wonderful. Here's your hat. Goodbye, dear. Yeah, but... I'll call you. Goodbye. Oh. Are you trying to get rid of me? Oh, no. Of course not. Why should I try to get rid of you? Here's your hat. My hat? Well, that isn't my hat. Oh, no. Look at the thing. It comes down over my ears. Look at that. Oh. Oh, isn't that funny? Did you... Did you get a haircut, maybe? Well, not since I came in. Now, look at that thing. Doesn't that look funny to you? We saw a day. Look. Yes, I know. It's just a little roomy, but maybe they're wearing them that way this year. Well, I don't think so. I'm not. If you've got company... No, no. It's nobody. It's just Dan Leeson, probably. Well, I don't want him to see me here. I've called you enough trouble. I've just stuck in the other room. No! No, Jerry! No! No! I'm going to be happy. I'll wait in there till they start. Yes, but... I've come to tell you something. Hello. We've come to tell you, Lucy. Well, what have you come to tell me? I want to apologize for those awful things I accused you of this morning, Lucy. Yes. I've beaten up that awful woman said about you to go. No, of course. I'm not angry. I'm not angry. What? The curtain goes up. There's a word or two of wisdom, I believe, for the ladies. In the very brief moment before Kerry Grant, Claudette Colbert, and Phyllis Brooks return, I would like to make this observation about our product, luxe toilet soap. Everyone knows that nine out of ten screen stars use luxe toilet soap. And we're very proud of this fact because it's certainly a significant that such an overwhelming majority of these charming women whose very livelihood depends to such an extent upon their appearance have come to look upon luxe toilet soap as such a trusted age in the task of keeping themselves ever beautiful. But another fact, which is just as important and just as significant is that lovely girls, young women, and older women in every village and town throughout this broad land also look upon luxe toilet soap as a trusted age in the very important feminine job of keeping beautiful. Screen stars must have lovely skin because they're screen stars, of course. But for another reason also. These famous beauties have close-ups to face off the screen, too. They know that for every woman who wants to win romance and hold it, lovely skin is important. And that's why they are really glad to be able to pass on to other women the happy experience they've had with luxe toilet soap. Here's what Betty Davis says. I use luxe toilet soap regularly, as other Hollywood screen stars do. Why don't you use this fragrant white soap? So I'm going to ask every woman in our audience if she won't go to the store tomorrow and buy at least three cakes of luxe toilet soap and use this fine white gentle soap with active lather faithfully. And it is my honest belief that if you do this, when the three cakes have gone, you will be just as enthusiastic over luxe toilet soap as the screen stars. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Lance Claudette Colbert and Phyllis Brooks proceed with Act 3 of The Awful Truth. Two weeks have gone by and the divorce is almost final. Determined to block Jerry's impending marriage to the society heiress, Lucy has tricked her way into his apartment. Just inside the door, she stands facing him, smiling coyly. Now that you're in, what's the nature of this visit? Well, I just saw that. You know what today is, don't you? Certainly. Our divorce becomes final tonight at 12 o'clock and tomorrow we'll both be back in circulation. That's right. I just thought I'd drop up to wish you a lot of luck. Oh, that's very nice of you, but I'm just on my way out. Where to? Well, if you must know, I'm on my way out to a pre-engagement dinner for me and Barbara at the fancy. Oh, Jerry, you can't. Who says so? You can't because you love me. The things you believe me guilty of couldn't cause aggravation and heartache unless you love me. Of course, I loved you. I said love, not love.  You're throwing away our happiness. Barbara's a fine girl. We'll get along swell together. But that isn't necessarily happiness, Jerry. Look, you and I fight and we disagree on every subject under the sun. But we were happy. It's no fun for me to come here practically crawling to you, Jerry. But our marriage is worth it. I'd do anything to make you understand that you and I belong together. Tomorrow will be too late, dear. Once you're free, the banters will officially announce your engagement and you won't be able to jail a girl whose gelting would be news for every newspaper in the world. You'll be caught by circumstances. You'll be lost, Jerry. Oh, I'm very contentedly too. Oh, no. You'll be miserable. Oh, you don't.  I'll take it. Oh, no, you won't. I've got it. Hello? Give me that phone. Jerry, I think you're dead. Hello. My telephone. I only said hello. Hello.  No, give it to me. Hello. Tell her to call you back. Funny on you, you were going to ask me that. Hi. Who are you? Well, it's really very simple. That was my sister. Oh, really? Your sister? Now, how are you ever going to get out of there? Quiet. I didn't know you had a sister. Oh, sure. Sure. She just got back from Paris, dropped in to see me. You know. Oh, that's lovely. I'd love to see you. Oh, no, no. I don't think she can come over this evening. She has a previous engagement. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, naturally, dear. She's very anxious to meet you, but... Oh, yes. Tell her I'd love to meet her. Tell her the web-boxing. Quiet. Now, look, Barbara. Look, Barbara. Break her engagement and come over later. Yes, but I doubt that very much. Yes, I doubt it too. Well... That's right, dear. But I'll do my best to fix it up so the two of you will meet very soon. Goodbye. I will. Now, I'm in a fine fix. She wants to meet my sister. Well?  Well, you know me. Anything I can do. Oh, to break it up. I see what you mean. Well, I'm in a fine mess. No, I'm sorry. Very really, I am. Yes, sure. But I wouldn't worry about it. Dear, she trusts you, doesn't she? Of course she does. Hello? Oh! Oh, I did it again. You have to take that from anybody. Hello? Quiet. No, you have to take it from anybody. Put your foot down.  But, darling, I told you she couldn't make it. There's no reason for her to call you up every five minutes, is there? No, no, no. Look, dear, there's no reason for you to call me up every five minutes. Is there? It's too bad your sister couldn't come tonight, Jerry. Oh, yes. Well, she was terribly sorry, Mrs. Vance. You see, she didn't weather the boat trip very well. As a matter of fact, when I left, she was calling the doctor. Hey, you can imagine my surprise when I heard a woman's voice on the phone. You can't blame me for being suspicious, Jerry, darling. Certainly, I mean, of course not. I was thinking, dear. Mother, don't you think it would be nice if I asked Jerry's sister to be a bride's maid? Oh, lovely. Oh, well, I think she's sailing back to Paris almost immediately. She said she'd do her best to see you before she goes, though. Oh, you'd like my sister, Barbara. She's very much your type. Where did you go to school? Excuse me, what did you say? I said, where did you go to school? In, um, Switzerland. Oh. And, uh, you say your father was a Princeton man? Yes, that's right, sir. Class of 1992. He tells some very funny stories about the place in those days. He tells one in particular about a football game. It seems Yale was playing Princeton one day. Hey, beg your pardon, Mrs. Vance. Yes, Edward? Mr. Jerry's sister has arrived. What? Miss Lula Wariner. Hello, Jerry. Surprise. Oh, you maniac. What did you say, dear? Oh, I just asked how you were feeling. Oh, I'm feeling fine. Mrs. Vance, may I present my sister, uh, Lola. How do you do? How'd you do? Oh, it's lovely to know you, Mrs. Vance. Vance, my dear. Oh, sure, I forgot. Barbara, this is Lola. How do you do? How'd you do? Well, you know, it's nice getting a chance to meet you. I see your pictures in the paper and I, I wondered what you really looked like. I've, uh, wondered about you, too. Oh, well, thanks. Oh, Lola. Yes, dear? Uh, this is Barbara's father, Mr. Vance. Mr. Vance, my sister. How'd you do? How do you do? Well. Uh, what's the matter? Oh, nothing, only I never would have known you to Jerry's description. I think you look kind of cute.  Thank you. Say, did I interrupt something? Don't write on with your story, Jerry, honey. Oh, well, I was telling a story about my, uh, about our father. Oh, you were? We'll go right ahead, dear. Thanks. You see, Mr. Vance, it was Yale's ball on Princeton's two-yard line. Oh, Mr. Vance, I don't want to peer-root, but I wonder if I could have a little drinky. Why, uh, my sister, isn't there? Well, I had three or four before I got here, but they're beginning to wear off, and that is. Oh, well, don't look at me like that, Jerry.  You know what we call him, isn't it? We call him Jerry's a nipper. He likes to sneak him when nobody's looking. Oh, he's all for cute about it, too. Yeah. I've seen him go along all evening. Apparently not having a thing to drink, and all of a sudden fall flat on his foot. Edwards, a glass of sherry for Miss Waterna, please. Well, sherry. Oh, no. I don't like sherry. Oh, Mr. Edwards, come here. Yes, Miss. You know what I want, don't you? About the three fingers? Yes, Miss. You snap it up, will you? I'm sorry to interrupt you, Jerry. What were you saying? Well, I was just telling them one of Father's stories. You've heard it. Oh, I have. You see, there was a minute to go. Dad had the ball, and I... Ball? What ball? What? The football. Well, ball. Look, look, I was just telling a story about when Father was at Princeton. You remember that. Oh, sure. Well, because I remember. Oh, yeah. You know, Pop loved Princeton. Yeah, he was there nearly 20 years. Oh. Yeah. If ever a man loved the place, he did. He just adored it, and he certainly kept it looking beautiful, too. You've seen the grounds, haven't you? The grounds? Of course. Well, Mrs. Vance, I'm afraid that my sister has a somewhat distorted sense of humor. So have I. Your drink, Miss. Oh, gee, thank you. Well, what she really meant to say was that... Oh, gosh, was that good? Whew, so thirsty. Must have been that ham I had for dinner. No, listen, you... When you get your liquor, Mr. Vance, it isn't too personal. It's imported from Paris. You don't say all the way? Oh, gee, that's pretty good stuff, though. If I ever get managed to get to Paris, I'm gonna look up the guy who sold it to you. If you ever get to Paris, didn't you just come back from there? Who, me? Oh, I only wish I had. Oh, I guess that's just one of Jerry's stories again.  We always used to pretend we had rich relatives who were going to leave us money. Oh, I guess it was harmless enough, though. Everybody knew we would just throw that kid in our cells. Are you sure everybody knew? We're sure. Who would be dope enough to look at Jerry and me and think we had money or a family? Oh, but you have to give Jerry credit, you little... We're proud of him, you know? He's worked himself up from nothing to this. What do you mean by this, Miss Warner? Well, now you look at me, I'm different. Now, it isn't money that counts with me.  No, sir. Now, it's art. All the time I was working at the Virginia Club, I thought about it. You worked at the Virginia Club? Sure. Didn't Jerry tell you? No, he didn't.  That's what I do. I sing. Well, perhaps you'd sing for us. No, no, no. I'd have made it some other time. You see, my... Oh, now that's the trouble with you, Jerry. You've tried to keep me in the background all your life. Well, of course I'll sing for you. Sure, I will. Do you own a piano? Right there. Well, thanks. Now, you see when... Oh, oh, wait a minute. Don't anybody leave this room. I've lost my purse. Good gracious. There's your purse, Miss Warner, on the chair. Well, my relief. Oh, Mr. Edward. Yes, Miss. When you kind of keep an eye on my purse, you know, right? No, no. I think we better go now. It's getting late. Oh, no, no. Not before I sing, Jerry. Who does your tuning? I'm sure I don't know. Well, maybe it's just a piano. What are you going to sing? Oh, it's a surprise. But the first time I sang this number, I think he was a critic. He said my voice had a... What was it? Oh, yeah. Elfin charm. A janna-fake quat. You know what I mean. Now, quiet, please. Robert, I'm afraid. I'm leaving for good. I don't blame you, Jerry. I really don't. You can leave now. Oh, no, no, no. I want to see you safely in the door where you can get your aunt's hair and out of mine. Mrs. Warner. Hello, Frank. I wasn't expecting anybody tonight. Will you turn off Patsy on here? Why, she ain't here, Mrs. Warner. She ain't been here for weeks. Oh, I get it. Another one of your little tricks, huh? Well, it won't work. I'm going back to town and I'm going alone. Good night and goodbye. Goodbye, Jerry. Be careful driving, dear. The key's to the car, the ignition key. Where is it? Well, I don't know. Did you have it when you came? Well, how do you think I drove here? Now listen, Lucy, you took that key and I want it back. I haven't got it. You have so got it. Do you want to touch me? Yeah. No. Poor Jerry. I'm afraid you're stuck here all night, darling. Isn't it a shame? A man of a fireplace. Just the way it was when we came here on our honeymoon, dear. Oh, now please, Lucy. The less you have to say about it, the better I'll like it. Well, it won't be long. It's a quarter after 11. 45 minutes and you'll never have to listen to me again. Just 45, 10 minutes. Honey, isn't it, Jerry? Well, it wasn't my fault. I only... I'll keep quiet. 45. Well, I'll be happy, I'd say. All this that happened tonight will be forgotten.  It's only 30 minutes now, Jerry. Lucy, listen, I... Oh, what? Nothing. Oh. She seems to be a nice girl, Jerry. I'm sure she will mean more to you than to let you spoil your happiness, Jerry. I'll get along all right. Just be happy, darling. I'll get along all right. No one will ever know that I... Oh, I shouldn't say these things to that, Jerry. I'll get along all right. Wait a minute. Listen. Yes? Listen, Lucy. What? Listen, it's all off. I'm not going to go through with it. I don't care whether you love me or not. You're married to me and you're going to stay married. You hear? Jerry! Call the caretaker. No, I'll call him myself. Frank, Frank, come in here right away. Is there anything wrong, fool?  See, the divorce is off. Oh, Jerry! It's actually 30 seconds before 12 o'clock. We called off the divorce. Remember that and swear to it. You betcha. All right, now, uh... Get out. You bet... Wedding bells, darling. Every second that passes, I love you twice as much. Say it, darling. I love you, Lucy. I love you, Jerry. I love you, Lucy. I love you. Peace restored in the Wellano family. Terry Grant and Claudette Colbert are returning now to our microphone. In fact, the whole family is here with the exception of Mr. Smith, the dog. What happened to him? Well, I suppose he lived happily ever after, too. Oh, I envy those dogs. No troubles. No worries. No worries. You don't know my dog. He worries more than I do. I don't doubt it. I bet he's home worrying about this program right now. By the way, C.P., who does he worry about next week? What play are you going to have? Next Monday night, we're going to have Barbara Stanwyck, Brianna Hearn, and Ida Lapino. And the play is Wuthering Heights. One of the strangest love stories ever told. And certainly one of the most gripping. Barbara Stanwyck, Brianna Hearn and Ida Lapino. Hey, that sounds great to me. I don't think a dog will have to worry about that show, C.P. No. You know, my dog's a critic, too. Every once in a while, he chews up one of my favorite hats.  Well, I think he'll get his slant on that at every dog of his taste. You know, I was in a picture once with a dog that weighed 23 pounds when we started shooting, and a week later, he was up to 30 pounds. What was he eating, scenery? Oh, no, sir. The director was eating that. He had to wait for the mutt to reduce. Oh, no, C.P., what made the poor dog so fast? Ice cream? Every time he did his trick right, he got an ice cream cone, and that dog never missed. That was killing him with kindness. Couldn't you find a better way of rewarding him? Well, when we were shooting The Offer Truth, Mr. Smith's trainer used a mouse, a rubber mouse named Oslo, that squeaked. If Mr. Smith performed well in a scene, he could play with Oslo. Works fine, too, until he spotted a still camera on a set with one of those rubber balls dangling alongside. Mr. Smith thought it was the mouse, I suppose. Oh, it squeaked just as well.  A very tall tale, Mr. Smith. Well, it was a tall doghouse, Claude. Really, he could have managed it. No, I'll carry it, just relax. But before I go, I want to say something about the product behind this program. I've used Lux soap now for a good many years, and from my own experience, I can recommend it wholeheartedly. Good night, C.P. Good night, C.P. Hello. Good night. The makers of Lux toilet soap join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night.

Six months ago, if you asked me who would ruin Madden Ultimate Team, I'm not sure what I would have guessed. Maybe a super fast Lamar Jackson that you just can't bring down. Or maybe a 99 overall Patrick Mahomes that makes any throw in the world. Or even a classic Derek Henry at quarterback. Great guesses, but they're all wrong. The player that ruined Madden 24 Ultimate Team is George Carlathus. Now I get it, I'm a YouTuber. I try sensationalized titles and every player's overpowered, every player's broken, but I really need you to hear me out on this one. Now on paper, Super Bowl Limited George Carlathus is really, really good, but he shouldn't ruin the game. To explain why he's so overpowered, I want to remind you about Madden 20 Ultimate Team. Madden 20 was the first Madden to ever introduce X Factor abilities. And in that game there was an Eric Dickerson. Now Eric Dickerson had a unique X Factor ability. Eric Dickerson's X Factor would start the game activated and it would never turn off.  Also a huge thank you to SeatGeek for sponsoring today's video. SeatGeek is the best place to get tickets for anything. And I know the NFL season's over, but there are a ton of NBA games I want to attend. And I'll definitely be getting my tickets on SeatGeek. And with SeatGeek's pricing indicators, you always know you're getting the best deal. Green is good and red is bad. So look for that when you're buying your next ticket. Also, of course, I can get you a discount. First, you got to download SeatGeek with the link in the top of the description. Then use my code MMG for $20 off your first purchase. Once again, that's $20 off your first order on SeatGeek. Just use the promo code MMG and click the link in the top of the description. Peace. Now, since Madden 20 EA basically said, yeah, that was messed up. We're going to tone it down. We're not going to do that again. And for Madden 21, Madden 22, Madden 23, we were safe, sort of. Until George Carlaftis and a brand new ability that didn't even exist in Madden 20 called Colossus. This ability is Colossus light it up. Dominant pass rush, even versus double teams. Now, generally speaking, if you ran unstoppable force, you would get slightly better pass rush if you activated the ability. Now to activate unstoppable force, you first needed to sack the quarterback twice. So after you've gotten to sacks and now you have the X factor and you get to the quarterback a little bit faster. That's not how Colossus works.  And guess what you got to do to activate it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You need to boot up the game. I am not kidding. It cannot be turned off. If you're wondering why that is, he is a Super Bowl player. Super Bowl players, once you unlock the Super Bowl token, you can unlock it on the field pass and I added it here to George Carlaftis. Get their Super Bowl light it up X factors. I know it's a little confusing, but light it up X factors. As you can see right on the screen, stay active all game. Now I learned the hard way about George Carlaftis. I'm sure you guys might have watched my Mahomes video and he was such an impactful player that I had to get him myself and I had to show you guys that it's over. Until they nerf this, which I don't think they will. You're going to see this on every single team. Now, if that wasn't enough, he also gets El Toro for free, which literally I don't even think matters because he's going to dominant Bull Rush anyway. He also gets demoralizer just in case you thought maybe you could activate your half back and break a tackle. No, he gets demoralizer. So his hit sticks wiped his own progress.  There is no reason to use this ability. It adds a past stress point to all linemen on third and fourth down. I also gave that same ability to chase young so that they're adding past rush points to each other on third and fourth down. So overall, this whole team is a pretty solid team. We're 93 overall. It's nothing crazy, but it's not bad either. Um, the only thing that matters here is George Carlaftis. But as you'll see here, I do have Carlaftis as my rush defensive tackle. So sometimes he'll be a true edge rusher and sometimes he'll be a rush to tackle. I think he's a little bit better to tackle. But at the end of the day, I don't think it really matters.  I've done enough talking.  Derek Barnes, Ray Lewis, Doug Williams.  But for me to do an entire game based on defense, the guy's got to be that good. I'll try and keep my offensive possessions quick.  Look at this little route combo we've got. You ever seen this one?  Okay, MVS down the middle. We got the post at the corner and I got almost sacked. But I'm going to go with the Eiffel Tower again. When you run the Eiffel Tower on your friends, make sure you say MMG showed you how to do the Eiffel Tower. It also works best if you have two guys and one girl. All right. Look at Debo. Look at B.O.S. Guys, it's a George Carlaftis video. It doesn't matter. Going to be honest, I don't think the defensive formation matters that much. So in this particular formation, Carlaftis is... So right here, he's an edge. Hey, he got his pass off. He made a nice play, but he instantly broke his tackle. All right, let's try this. So this is where Carlaftis should be double team. And let's see how he does against it. He actually got around it. Respect. Especially dude, if we can get one of these linemen to commit to. I'm going to go 4-3 over. So we get four down linemen. See how this looks. Jack's low. He gets six. Ooh, nice play. First single. Let's see what he goes for here on first single. We'll stretch her on. Not the best start, but I believe in Carlaftis. I will be going back to chucking haymakers. Nice catch, Pacheco. It might be a touchdown for Hester. Is that a good ball?  It was a touchdown. It just happened. I will not call that his greatest play of all time. Get gooder through right at your face. You got to lurk that. Sometimes it is that. Look at Dalton Schultz. You got to get down there. I need George Carlaftis on the field if I want to win. Maybe I put him in on off heads. Debo. Beauty. Beauty. Keep running it. Keep running it. Pacheco. That works. Get my homes. Got him. Beautiful throw. That was knocked out. What? Oh, that's unlucky. Some pretty unlucky drops here. All right, Carlaftis. Let's do your thing, buddy. It's going to go back to the I-form run. Could probably just switch sides on it. It's actually an RPO. Okay, he likes the low passes. Nice find. Person 10. All right, Carlaftis got home for the first time. A slow first quarter, but I believe in his ability to wreak unbelievable havoc here. Oh, my God. Nice ball. Good free form. The diving catch on the free form too. Okay, so he ran like an RPO bubble out of this last time. Just going to run it. Nothing there. Second. I actually don't know what this is. RPO of some variety. Absolutely bottled. Great defense. Her name. Oh, I wish. I wish you got that off. Damn, that was picked. Hey, that's a good stop right there. Carlaftis finally started to get home. Honestly, the meta might literally just to be rushed to players, trap everyone else into coverage, and Carlaftis still beats his double team. I got to give credit to my opponent though. He's getting the ball off really fast.  Inside the user juke the CPU. Let's just get this snap off. I like that route right there. Just don't fumble Pacheco. Great play out of Pacheco. Two minute warning. Red zone again. I just got to take care of the ball. This could definitely be a Debo touchdown. In fact, this is a Debo touchdown. I just need a little bit of time in the pocket. There it is. It's a bad free form. It's way too aggressive of a free form. Oh, he's dropped into coverage. Debo Sammy got the first down. Could definitely do some clock shenanigans here, but don't have to. Just going to take maybe two yards on that. Let's go no huddle. Actually got three out of that. This work. I thought for sure I could get that with Mahomes. Got two yards on it. Slowly, but surely getting a little bit closer. I think Dalton Schultz is here. He has money. There they go. All right, we're on the board. Let's go Carlaftis. It's your turn now, buddy. Although I'm going to go for two. Literally exact same play. Oh, he sees it this time. Oh, you're there. Beauty. Mahomes looking clutch on that. 810. I'm going to try nickel 3-3 and just let Carlaftis beat his double team. Well, this kind of looks like a run play. This sure is his bottom. Great defense. That was very generous. There's a generous five yards on that, but all right. There you go. Carlaftis. Aye. All right, dude, that might be the move. Just let him cook his double team. It's hard to say if that's actually the move here. All right, let's pinch this. Guess pass. I'm on the corner out. Oh, nice ball. Definitely needed my boy to get home there. Just going to go a short dig.  Oh, 13 seconds left three timeouts. I can take the lead here. Honestly, my opponent is perfectly countering this. He's throwing the ball so fast, but that's actually a pretty good example right there of why this is so good. He has literally no choice but to throw the ball in the first two seconds or he gets sat. And right there, he throws it in the first two seconds to a throw that he should not have thrown. Now there's scantling, beauty, five seconds. I got one more throw like that and I got to get in range. I just got to get down. Got to get down. Got to get the timeout off. Got him.  I could have maybe gone to the end zone, but it wasn't worth risking it. Hey, what a drive. Yo, we really came back right there down 10-0. Things were not looking good. Make it 11-0. Take the lead right before half. Nice work. And I think I start on defense, which is perfect. Ooh, barely got two down. Hey, he's in there on the run too. I take it. Carl Aftis second and 11. There he is. Carl Aftis. Hey, I promised you boys two sex, just got his second and there's nine minutes left. I want to get up to four, but make me happy. Oh, he got me with this last time. He got me at the deep dig. I got to go fake like I'm going. Nope. Dude, Carl Aftis right in his fucking. Carl Aftis actually sacked him.  All right, I got to look for Debo here. I know it's going to be open. Ah, he knew. Good play by him. Honestly, I think I might be able to get Pacheco here. Yep. What did you get another? Come on. Um, I'm going to go with Debo whip route. Don't think he's really seen that today. Yeah, he hasn't. Beautiful. If I get the touchdown in the two point, he's in a lot of trouble. I'm going to give adult and Schultz whip route vacates the middle staying up, but check goes out dog right now. We haven't really come back from a very rough start to this game. We have just really brought it back here had a touchdown in the back right of the end zone. And I just got an intentional grounding. That's actually so bad. I see a big pickup here. I wonder if Dalton Schultz corner out is there. He thinks I'm going Debo corner out, but Debo post might be there. Yup. Yup. Oh, what a go. I got to go for this fucking. I don't need four points. Come on. I'm going for it. This is huge fourth and five. Debo didn't know what. How could I not? I snapped it and then through it. How could it possibly have gotten to me that fast? He said four against five. That's such a boy. Hey, we still got the one point lead, bro, but I would love that playback. That's there's Carl Aftis on the ground too. Nice work. Second and eight. Come on. Oh, he's got that throw if he wants it. Nice work. Yep. Got to play the got to play the juke. Went for the strip. Needed my boy Carl Afti there. Probably want something underneath something short. Carl Aftis in his face still made the throw. Nice work. He was right there. First and 10.   That wasn't Carl Aftis. I think it was Warren Sapp. Second and 24. Nice defense. Switched it up with a blitz that time. Third and 24. He hasn't seen a lot of blitzes. That was definitely new for him. We know what's a pass, but an even better tackle and he might have. Yeah, he actually lost yards because that animation has a bummer. Fourth and 12. Badgley is going to drill it. Make this game 13 to 11. Need an awesome homes drive here and then some amazing defense. I only got to get in field goal range. What about the Dalton Schultz corner out? No. Dude, what is this Nano that he's getting? It's just like some glitch blitz I don't know about. He's sending four against five and he's always getting home. I guess, I mean, I'm using George Carl Aftis. Not sure I'm allowed to talk. I spent my mommy's harder money on that. This might be it up. Dude, twice?  Dude, he's not even reaching for it. It's right on you. Oh my goodness. I'm getting hosed right now. This is whack. What a bummer. All right, third and 10. He left the same. We're going to pick it up anyway. It's a legacy drive. Feds can't get me with some silly stuff right now. Dalton Schultz. The feds very well could have got me with some silly stuff right there. That was, that's what you call a ball that should have been intercepted. That's what you call that.  See if I get any time in the pocket. Oh my God. Look at Debo. That was, you know what's funny about that? That was such a horrible ball that was a good ball. So the Lord Giveth and the Lord take it the way. I suppose. Let's go first and 10. Now he's really mad. That should have been a bumble. All right, we're even. I don't got a thing to say now. Oh, look at Pacheco. Touchdown. Gorgeous playmaker and a really good throw from a home. Yeah, I got bailed on that drive too. 18 to 13. George Carlaftis. Take me home. So he gets a touchdown here and gets the PAT. He has 20. He gets a touchdown goes for two. He has 21 doesn't get it. He has 19. So needs the touchdown. But no matter what a field goal can either send me to overtime or win the ball game. So I like how that sounds. Keep them out of the end zone. We win the game. Try to remember what he's been doing out of this. That was just such a good throw. I didn't get any pressure from my boy there. Oh, Ronnie.  I needed that right there. Damn. That's okay. I'm going to switch to nickel three three. I'm going to let George Carlaftis just work on the double team. I might just drop five into coverage. He's my only pass.  He wants this dig. He got home against five. He got home against five. That's messed up. Nah, that's so messed up.   He just sent him against five. Oh my God. Dude, this is so fucked. Is he going to run this ball? Does he think I'm guessing pass? He can't run the ball. Nice play.  You can't do that against lurk artist. That's a nasty play call though. The deep sit down was nasty, but we almost just iced up the game. All right, first and 10. Just got to play smart and take this puppy home. No reason to throw this, but I'd like the clock to chew. See, I was worried about fumbling. That's why I got on the edge. But now the clock is not ticking. I need to get a first down. Jesus, that knockout was crazy. Third and nine all of a sudden, my offense is in a really big conversion here to keep this drive alive. Got him. Diabolical whip route from Debo. He's got the first down. He shaded inside. So this is huge too because a field goal puts me up eight and I am in field goal range. So at this point, we're kind of just handing this ball off for the W. It's not quite a W because he can call the time out here. I could throw the bubble on this RPO. Let's see if Debo is open on the bubble here. He actually is, but so is the run. I have to run here. First down game, all good. No, I want to watch it. I want to watch you block five. Oh my God. Here we go. Hey, Gigi's my pony. He played a great game.  And it's so insane. Like the best defensive play for me to run is drop 10 into coverage and put George Carlaftis in the dead center of five NFL offensive linemen and have him sack him twice. They're back to back. Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the end of Madden Ultimate Team. I hope you enjoyed. Peace.


So let's talk about matrix spaces. Suppose I have some set of vectors. We can represent the linear combination as a matrix product, where here we would apparently multiply this row of vectors by this column of coefficients. Now this makes sense regardless of how we represent our vectors, but it's convenient to write each vector as a column vector, so this looks like ordinary matrix multiplication. And this leads naturally to the following two definitions. Let A be any matrix. The column space of A, written column A, is the vector space spanned by V whose elements are the columns of A. Likewise, we can have the row space of a matrix. Let A be a matrix, and this time we'll take the wait for it. Rows of A as the vectors in our set. We can also talk about the null space. The null space of a linear transformation is a set of vectors where the transformation sends those vectors to the zero vector. We found it by row reducing the transformation matrix augmented by a column of zeros. Well, what happens if we view T as a set of column or row vectors? How could we then find the null space? Well, to answer that question, we'll set up a system of equations. So if we consider our augmented matrix, it corresponds to the system of equations. But the system of equations is exactly what we need to solve if we are looking for linear combinations of our vectors equal to the zero vector. And this leads to the following result. Let A be a matrix where we consider the columns of A as vectors v1, v2, and so on up to vn. Reducing the augmented matrix A, augmented by a column of zeros, corresponds to solving the problem of finding a linear combination equal to the zero vector. Consequently, we have the following result. The null space of a linear transformation A corresponds to the set of linear combinations equal to the zero vector in the column space of A. So let's see what this does for us. Remember that if a set of vectors is linearly independent, then the only solution to linear combination equal to the zero vector is for all of the coefficients to be zero. And so what this means is if the columns of A are linearly independent, that is, if the vectors forming the columns of A are a linearly independent set, then the null space of our transformation is going to be the zero vector only. This allows us to go even further. Remember that the rank of a matrix is the number of non-zero rows in the row echelon form of A. Now every one of those zero rows corresponds to a free variable, and since the vectors corresponding to the free variables can be written in terms of the vectors corresponding to the basic variables, then we get the following theorem. The dimension of the column space of A is equal to the rank of A. What about the free variables? Well the free variables correspond to a basis for the null space. You should take a few minutes to prove this statement. If we put together all of our results, namely that the dimension of the column space of A is equal to the rank of A, and the number of free variables corresponds to the number of vectors in a basis for the null space, then we have the following theorem. Suppose I have a matrix with m columns and let the dimensions of the column space of A be c, and the dimension of the corresponding null space of A be n, then m is equal to c plus n. What about the row space? Suppose we reduce A to row echelon form and have a row of zeros. Elementary row operations, with the exception of interchanging rows, correspond to producing linear combinations of the rows. So a row of zeros corresponds to expressing the zero vector as some linear combination of the preceding rows, and so by a similar set of arguments we have the following theorem. If we have a matrix with m rows, let the dimension of the row space of A be r, and the dimension of the corresponding null space of A be n, then m is equal to r plus n.


Co-crystals are a promising alternative for active pharmaceutical ingredient, API, formulations due to their improved physical chemical and pharmacological properties. Co-formers play a key role in the development of co-crystals, and carboxylic acids are one of the most widely used classes of co-formers. Carboxylic acids can form hydrogen bonds with the APIs, resulting in improved solubility and instability. Additionally, they possess small carbon chains which allow them to be easily incorporated into the APIs. Carboxylic acids are also relatively easy to synthesize and are often available commercially. As a result, carboxylic acids are frequently used as co-formers in co-crystal formulation. This article was authored by Man Singh, Harsh Barua, Vaskuri G.S. Inagajoti and others.

There are many times, even within the context of the Cold War, where a lot of more hawkish Cold War years were furious at Dwight Eisenhower, at Ronald Reagan for not doing more than strongly worded letters when the Soviet Union, for example, put down uprisings in Budapest, Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 and such like and or in Poland Solidarity in 1981. And in each case, the American Republican presidents said, look, we can't get drawn into a broader war here, but we can absolutely denounce it in very strong moral language and issue a strongly worded letter. I think what's happened now is that because sovereignty has been so serially violated after the international response to Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait in 1990, during which the U.S. and Soviet Union like literally stood shoulder to shoulder. Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush stood shoulder to shoulder and said that this is intolerable. They also used the phrase, we're going to enter a new world order. So maybe that wasn't the greatest press conference, but did they get into a black helicopter and fly off? A blackhawk helicopter. But that was, I think, a correct kind of impulse of saying that's the thing that we can't have more of. But then afterwards, the U.S. I think made the tragic mistake of deciding that after we routed Saddam that we felt bad that we didn't go all the way to Baghdad and thus began a series of the U.S. on the right, saying, God, we should have really like taken him out when we had the chance. We started doing no fly zones. We started violating the sovereignty of the lousy dictatorial country of Iraq and creating all these tripwires that if they cross them, we would have to invade them again, which is what eventually led to the 2003 war in Iraq and all of these things. I'm my viewer mistake. One of the questions here is, is should we look the other way when a nation pursues genocide? No, we should not, but that doesn't mean we should intervene militarily. We used genocide as the tripwire excuse to overthrow Mohamed Adafi. Again, a really bad guy in 2011. It was the, not even a genocide, but that we were worried that he might do a genocide sometime pretty soon in one specific city. And that was enough to absolutely destabilize an entire region using American and I think French power. And I think those are mistakes. If you focus more just on the question of sovereignty and then use your diplomacy to try to create collective action agreements among people who still believe in those kind of things, I think that's a better anchor to put foreign policy things in. Where does that leave us with Ukraine? Because we're in a post Cold War era and this is part of the issue is that the framework of not intervening everywhere all the time during the Cold War makes sense because there's a bigger battle. And Matt, you said the violation of an international border is something to take very seriously. So should we be defending Ukraine? Should we be defending Ukraine more? Should we be defending it less? How do we, can we work towards a negotiated settlement there? I would actually, I think that we should definitely not be involved militarily in Ukraine, certainly not with troops. We also don't have an actual defense agreement with them. But we might play a role in settling the conflict at this point on terms that are not going to be ideal for Ukraine, certainly, but might be better in the long run for stability in the region. Well, I, any like sort of Vivek Ramaswamy in idea that the US should sit down with Russia and decide what's best for Ukraine to me is replacements. And Trump has made some noises to that, but he's all over the map as usual. But there's been many cases where countries in Central Europe's fate has been decided at great power negotiations at which they were not invited. And it's a really bad history, one that every single president basically has apologized for up until Trump, he doesn't really do a lot of the apologizing thing. But you know, no more menics, no more Yalta's as they say over and over again. In my view, and this is not a libertarian or not a majority libertarian view. I don't think anyone wants to send US troops to Ukraine. I don't think it's, it's like any person really has suggested that there isn't really any tripwire to make that happen. There's something to suggest that, you know, the Budapest memorandum of 1994 at which Ukraine gives up its nuclear weapons in exchange for feeling like they might not get invaded by Russia anymore. And US and England were signatories to that. That suggests a level of interest and seriousness about how badly Russia has violated that and that we should feel, as people who are primary drivers of that negotiation, feel pretty bad about that. And also for those who don't like to see a lot of nuclear proliferation, that's the last time any country gives up its nukes, you can be damn sure. I personally think it's fine to help arm Ukraine as they are fighting a defensive war against people who are trying to steal their sovereignty. But I think that you have to submit that to the Democratic process in the United States. And you have to convince American voters that it is worthwhile and you should have a standalone vote and series of debates in Congress to do that and do it with clear eyes that you might be funding a cause that maybe was lost from the beginning, or at least in terms of keeping Crimea, let alone Dombas, or Dombas, let alone Crimea. So that's what I think, but not, that's not a dominant majority view to say the least. That was a clip from the Reason Roundtable podcast. To watch more clips, go here.
