I've only given Friday after July 4th, I'm Jay Fidel, I'm a co-host and Tim Apachele is a co-host, okay, and Cynthia joins us, Cynthia Sinclair, she's a co-host and this is TROP WEEK! What kind of a week, Tim? Happy belated 4th of July, do ya? An opportunity for us to feel good about where we live and an opportunity to feel and cherish our rule of law and our constitution. Yeah, I mean you're talking about the event in Washington or are you talking about your own personal reaction to July 4th? It's my own personal at this point, my reaction changes when I think about Washington DC this weekend or this yesterday, but that's okay, we can talk about that later. Yeah, Cynthia, how about you, how do you feel on July 4th? Well, I was watching the fireworks with all my children and my granddaughters, so it was pretty special for me, but it's been pretty strange being here in Alabama and the way people feel about things here. How do they feel about it in Alabama? Well, it's kind of ridiculous because if they live in some kind of bubble of some sort of box news bubble and they don't, at least the people I've talked to, I spoke to 25 different people and ask them three questions, each one of them the same question about immigration, how they feel about Trump, and how they feel about the Mueller report. And overwhelmingly they like Trump, overwhelmingly they don't care about the things he's done wrong, and overwhelmingly they think that the Mueller report has done a really good job. Wow. Which you, yeah. You find that in at least half a dozen states and maybe more, and that's why I was feeling down on July 4th. I was feeling down because I saw all those, really there were thousands of people there, and they were listening to the music and feeling nostalgic about the music, and they were not focused on what he has done or not done.  There are tens of millions of Americans who are misguided by the disinformation and misinformation. They believe he was exonerated. They don't care about children drinking from toilets. Let's talk about what happened this week, aside from July 4th, because it actually depresses me. Well, you know, we should talk a little bit because the title is of this show. Oh, the title, yeah, you're right. The title is, Tanks But No Tanks, and that is July 4th in Trump Country. So what about Tanks But No Tanks? May I take just one other thing, though, that I have a cousin who lives in D.C., and she had people visiting that really wanted to go to parade. She does not like Trump, and she decided to go anyway. And there's all the chaos and street merchants selling Trump's memorabilia, all everywhere. She was taking pictures of the label, or most of the things, and it, you know, says Donald Trump, collective wear, or something like that, and then it says made in China on every single one of them, made in China, and I thought that was really something. That is ironic, isn't it? Yes, I thought so, too. Okay, well, moving on about tanks. What about tanks but no tanks? Well, tanks for the memories. No, it's, you know, the tanks were a prop.  They were just going to put there on the side as props. Well, I think the mayor of Washington said something about it. Well, she was very concerned they were going to tear up the roadways. Yeah, well, you know, and sort of cross the little bridges over the Potomac, and one tank driver says to another, what happened to Smitty? Oh, he went in. He's in the Potomac. Poor Smitty. Yeah. It would have wrecked the city. It would have ruined the city. I think they thought wise of it. I'm sure it's not what Donald Trump want, but, you know, at some point someone said, look, you know, have the tanks on the side of the street. People will see them. You're not necessarily going to roll down and destroy these poor roads. And boy, you know, so some kind of reason came to play finally. Yeah. Well, he gave a speech, which was, I mean, I wouldn't call it highly political. I was ignorant. It was highly ignorant, but not highly political. He claimed that the rain was washing over his teleprompter. So he didn't know that in 1814, they had no airports in Hawaii. He claimed that the army, the army what occupied the airports in 1814. I mean, he really didn't know what he was reading. He kind of mismatched the War of 1812 with the Revolutionary War. 1812, I'm sorry. 14, you know, Fort McHenry. Fort McHenry. Yeah. He was all over the board on his history on that, but that's okay because I'm sure he meant well. Yeah. Okay. But at least he didn't go wild and he didn't, you know, do a political divisive speech. He, you know, for him was pretty good considering his ignorance about American history. But what about, you know, what about the rest of it? It seemed to me like he made himself the moderator. He made himself the, what do they call him, the master of ceremonies. The emcee. The emcee. He planted himself right in the middle of everything. That's not what we wanted and that was breaking tradition, wasn't it?  When he read off the teleprompter, I felt like I was in the fifth grade history class and little Johnny's at the front of the room reading this report.  It's not the first time and it won't be the last time. But you know, for him the most important thing is being on the headlines and being in the public eye and occupying our consciousness. And he did. However, as you mentioned before the show, Tim, you know, there were earthquakes in California. There were other things happening and the press didn't mind not covering so much, not covering him so much. I think people watched the music, but they didn't see it as all about him. It wasn't really all about him. He could not make it all about him. So let's talk about some of the other things that happened this week. One I just want to mention is that there was a secret website that was found that the border patrol were exchanging smart ass remarks about the children and the people they were detaining in these inhuman conditions. Do you remember what happened? Tim, do you want that one? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear my name first, and I was trying to be good and not talk when I'm not close to you. Yes, it is hard to be believable how when they closed it down and had a DHS that, oh no, it's not a good thing, but apparently somebody else found out that it was still open and being used and they're just finding ways to go around it. They're not actually, you know, assuming that yes, we should do it and then, you know, using the fists. No, they're just going and heading around so they will know, but they're still doing it. They were making sexually charged remarks about AOC and other people that have been down there to look at stuff. We finally have, now, since they did finally let a couple of congressmen in, that's the biggest thing. A lot of congressmen and senators are trying to go down and look at things on an incoctubation and they're not allowed in. Well, it was an issue about how they couldn't bring their phones in, they had to surrender their phones. Meanwhile, the Border Patrol was taking snapshots of them, you know, selfies. It was really extraordinary. It was make-believe security, make-believe enforcement. Now that's what you got here, this agency is out of control, it needs to be reformed. Imagine making jokes about those kids. Making jokes about the toilets and the food and the concrete floors they're sleeping on. Imagine making jokes, exactly. Well, I think what it's showing is there's a, you know, I'm sure the work environment is not easy. You know, so I'm not a border agent. I'm sure the work environment is very, very difficult. And there is something called, you know, gallows humor in every profession. You ask nurses, ask doctors, they have horrible jokes that, I don't know, psychologically help them through their day. But the problem is when you share that with one another and it becomes discovered, it shows that you're very obtuse. You're numb to the plight of these children and you're numb to, you know, the horrific conditions they've been set for. And that's the problem that's been portrayed in this website is that, you know, it's just a job to them and what they see and how they react to it is really not part of the equation. The other website they came up this week is a website called JoeBiden.info. It's a false website. It was established by a member of the Trump campaign, a guy named Molden, as I recall. And it mocks and gives disinformation and misinformation about Joe Biden. And it comes from Trump.  Here we are into, you know, disinformation and misinformation, right here at home, directly from the campaign. I'm saying to myself, well, that's only the top of the iceberg. The fact is there must be a lot of sites like that. How many of them are being organized and written and maintained by the Trump campaign? How many are from Russia? How many are from Russia? Or, you know, the back door of Russia through China, through North Korea. God knows for where they're going to be, you know, through the side door and present it. Right. And how many false and divisive social media messages are happening right now? Just like Russia was doing, Trump does it too. He learned from them or they learned from each other. But it's going to happen. It is happening the same way it happened last time. And it's a year to go or more, you know, before the election. We can expect to see this kind of thing on an ongoing basis. That's very, very disturbing. That's happening. So while he's up there stumbling through the teleprompter, the fact is he's doing other things that are really draconian. And we always have to watch. We always have to be vigilant about this. Now, do either of you have any confidence that Facebook and Twitter were going to eliminate fake accounts and posting this kind of material? Sorry, no. No. And I wonder what... I have no confidence for that at all. Yeah. And, you know, even though he got a bad ruling, he didn't know by Justice Robert even, but he didn't have to stand up and say, oh, you can't put this innocent question on the census because it's obviously looking gerrymandering. But he just said you don't have a good enough leave and come back. What do we do? So it's not yet as far as the census goes, too, but now Trump is trying to stop the print of the census and so he gets a better ruling. That's my... That was actually my favorite thing this week. I mean, favorite was small F, the census. First, his administration said, okay, we'll abide by that and we'll let the census, you know, documents get printed. You know, figure there are hundreds of millions of them and we'll have a census, which is required, required. I say required. You did say required. By a certain date, too, by the way. So then he said, oh, wait a minute, I don't agree with the Supreme Court on this. Wait a minute, agree with the Supreme Court? And he criticized the Supreme Court. You know, I don't know what he said, but it was bad what he said. It was a criticism of the Supreme Court. And then he reversed the decisions of the Attorney General and I don't know who else was involved in making that decision. Maybe it was the Department of Commerce that's printing them. And he said, I want to find some kind of justification. Go find a justification, he said. And this gets to be public. So let me get this straight. It was a bad justification. The Supreme Court struck that justification and he said, I don't know what the justification should be. I have no idea what the justification should be. Find a justification. Well, we're seeing... Go ahead, Cynthia. Well, I didn't...  Okay. Go find the justification. Okay, what I think is humiliating. Here you have Wilbur Ross, I'm not a big fan of, but you have Wilbur Ross basically making an announcement for the agency, we are going to go ahead and print without the question on it. Can you imagine the Justice Department attorneys that now have to put their tail between their legs and scamper into the court to say, yes, well, yes, yes, well, our client has changed his mind and now we have to come up with a new reason. And can you imagine the look that's going to come down from the bench, down upon their eyes and say, really? And see how that goes. I hope so. I hope they say that. Because if they accept the second crazy justification, which is really a crock-type justification, people are going to lose confidence in the Supreme Court completely. They're going to see him as doing anything that... What Trump wants. When you present your argument, isn't usually your best argument before the Supreme Court? Yeah. But I think it's clear that Trump initiated this question in the first place. People in the White House initiated it. Wilbur Ross went along with it. And now they'll find something. He's asked them to find something. It'll be completely ridiculous. And he will adopt that. And then it'll wind up in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the deadline you mentioned, the Constitution for the census, will come and go. He's mucked up the census is what he's done. We won't have a census on time. Well, let's look at how this thing reversed itself in the first place. I read about Hugh Hewitt, who's a radio personality, and other conservative groups said, hey, President Trump, you caved in on this way too fast. Why did you do that? So now Donald's going, oh, I caved too quick. Oh, and that's what happened. So who's running this government? Is it Hugh Hewitt? Is it Rush Limbaugh? I mean, is it Laura Ingraham? Who's really running this country? It's a plain embarrassment. Well, I mean, I can't... I think money is running in the country. And you know what the other thing that I was reading was Washington Post about this whole census thing that I think is important? And that is that now, regardless of if that question ends up up with the census or not, there are going to be posts, legal and illegal, you know, immigrants that are not going to want to answer because they're afraid that it might get to the, you know, government and they might end up having some kind of backup. So even without that question, actually, as well as making it to the census, he had far and started to reach a stand, which is to discourage people that are not, you know, full citizens from answering. Well, it depends on how this thing is played. Now, they could do a supplemental page, and so let's say they answer the first page and then the supplemental page is handed to them and they don't answer it. Will that survey be invalid because it's not 100% filled out or will the first page be submitted? Of course, Supreme Court too. This census is mocked up as no census has ever been mocked up thanks to the partisanship involved. Okay, let's shift to international affairs. Tim, you mentioned, and I certainly saw this too, there's an oil tanker that was detained by what, the British? The British. The tanker was taking oil from Iran to Syria. And that's clearly going to be an aid of the Syria war and in violation of Trump's, you know, sanctions on Iran. What's going on here? Why the British doing this? I guess they're trying to be faithful to Trump. They're trying to adhere to the international sanctions they agreed to. Iran is horribly upset about this for a variety of reasons. One, they need revenue and two, you know, that's their sovereign property and it should not be boarded and confiscated. Yeah, so we're in this heightened argument, fight if you will. We're getting more attention every day, every stroke on this kind of thing. And it doesn't bode well. They at the same time have said that they're building bombs now. They're increasing their... The enrichment program has begun. The enrichment program right now. So this is very troubling that, you know, he's created a situation where we're getting close to fisticuffs with Iran. Well, you have to hope that during the background of all this, these news stories, that there is a back channel, there is some, you know, negotiations quietly occurring to your best hope. We don't know. All we have to do is look at the headlines. But, you know, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, there was a back channel, there were negotiations, and it actually did prevent a big, a huge world holocaust of nuclear energy. Yeah, I doubt it though. I mean, it hasn't been that way. It's just been standing on a soapbox yelling. That's what he's been doing. Threatening, doing his threat thing.    This does not lead to good relations, I would suggest. So, but let's talk about Asia for a minute. Going on, you know, he actually went to the 38th parallel, walked across the border, about two feet, five feet, ten feet maybe. And now we're in a new time of detente with North Korea. What does that mean? Ottawa, who knows, maybe he's trying to put one more check mark for his Nobel Peace Prize. Who knows his motivation? He desperately wants a Peace Prize, you know that. And maybe this is just, you know, part of the application process. Well, the question is whether he gets the Peace Prize or Ivanka gets the Peace Prize. What do you think, what do you say, Cynthia? Is Ivanka going to get a Peace Prize for being a new found diplomat? Oh my gosh, that's just absurd. And I think the only reason that Trump has done all these things is because he wants to make history. He wants to say, what am I to see? I was the first Trump to ever go to business in the center of South Japan. I was the first Trump to ever go across to North Korea. He's doing things that don't actually create any kind of confidence policy or do anything that actually changes history. He just is able to say, what was the first one? I am a history. He just wants to be able to have that title. It's the ultimate nepotism. It is. And she knows as much, she and her husband know as much about diplomacy and foreign affairs as my puppy, who I love very much. I love my puppy more than I love them. Oh my gosh, that's one thing, the thing that I've heard from people is that I have some of the public report and all that sort of stuff. And that's one of the things that when Jared had come out and said that, he said about how, oh, it was just a couple of Facebook posts, right? That's what they believe. To be honest, they believe that when I've asked them specifically about Russia, well, how do you know about the stuff that Russia is imputing on election? You won't think they're effecting the election. I mean, all of it was just a couple of Facebook posts. And I think, my gosh, Chuck, you know, I don't know the truth. How about China, Jim? What do you think about China these days? Is there, you think there's any chance there's really going to be detente there? You know, the, what do you call it, the ceasefire, Trump said he would not raise tariffs on China. And China said they would. Even on the last 300? 300? Yeah. He's just going to oppose the 300, whatever it is. Yeah. A billion. Hi. Who donated? What is it? I can't remember the exact number. 750. Millions. Millions, yeah. He's done it from the fireworks. And then he's also the one in Illinois or somewhere in the Midwest, but he's a business man. It was hers, him, those tariffs. So he's gone, donated that money, and it's just, so there's fireworks. And it just so happens that that's the same day that Trump decides to not go ahead with tax taxes. But what I don't understand is how all of this leads to a confidence in the American public, you know, to have new jobs, you know, what, a quarter million new jobs in the month of June, I think it was. And the economy seems okay, although there are flaws in it and the economists tell us watch out because this could be a break, you know, a breakthrough type economy where it falls apart any day. But, you know, a good economy depends on confidence and people apparently, people in general, I think they're confident. They're confident. You know, again, I think they believe the story that these tariffs are damaging China where, I don't know why they believe that, but they do, I guess that's because Donald Trump told them so. But in fact, we know this as a tax against the consumer. And that's just how it is and that's how it's being paid. They don't understand that. And Trump says, oh, it would be even better if we got Powell to reduce, you know, what do you call it? The Fed rate. The Fed rate. And we would really, he said, quote, go to the moon, I think he said, or Mars as a case may be. He's not going to Mars. So, you know, I don't understand this is a big disconnect which will ultimately catch up to us because we don't have the money to do what he wants to do. The Tax Reform Act was a horrible mistake. It's not going to get reversed anytime soon. And we have a deficit of something like $2 trillion on his watch. So, you know, I think we are facing a huge economic problem going forward. It may visit itself between now and the election. I think Susan hit it right on the early part of the show is where people get their information is the bubble. And if that's the only bubble contained therein, everything that is stated in that bubble, Fox News, that's what they believe. And when it comes to the tariffs, they absolutely do not believe this is a tax against them, although their pocket book is starting to show it. Okay, we're almost out of time. I want to take a moment to look to next week and see what we think is going to happen next week. The 4th of July is over. The Democrats seem fragmented. Sorry. The committees that are supposed to be doing all the investigation in the House, you haven't heard much from them. And, you know, we seem to be in a quiet time even. Shouldn't be. Shouldn't be. What's going to happen next week? Well, I think you're going to hear more collateral damage from these horrific conditions at the border. I think more information is going to come out of that. I am a little upset that they're spending so many days talking about the Democratic debates. I mean, how many days did they talk about that when we had this horrible news coming out of, you know, at the border down in Texas? It was outrageous, as far as I'm concerned. So I think you can hear more about the border issue. I think you're going to hear a little bit more about how Iran is going to settle out. And I think Venezuela is going to pop its head up. There's incarcerations and the murder of that Navy captain in Venezuela. And that is really sparking a lot of protest. People are very upset about that. Yeah.  Nothing good. None of these initiatives are working. Infrastructure, nothing, nada. You know, no tuning up of legislation. No forward motion of legislation. And the only executive order you hear about is how he's going to make an executive order on the census. Yeah. Collecting his muscle on that. But I don't see anybody in Washington doing any real work. That's my thing. It's not managing the chaos at all. There is no management. Yeah. Cynthia, you know about chaos. What do you think is going to happen next week? Well, I'm always looking for the respect in the chaos. And I ask that there will be enough people. There will be absolute housing about what's happening with the children down here. But I know down here in the South, when I asked the calibration question, about the 25 people I spoke with, and, well, they shouldn't have come here in the first place, is what I have heard. And I think, oh, no. This just gives me a lot. And anyway, people will start really getting a once-up about establishing elected security. Like, you know what you were saying, Kim, about how they spent so much time on the debate. And that's when it will come on. I think there is about which candidate is better. If we don't have election security, because the rest of us is running. So that's why, you know, go for it. Okay. All right. My prediction, if you would, my prediction is that on Monday, that's one business day away, I'm even over the weekend, he is going to try to retake the headlines. Because that's what Donald Trump does. He tries to retake the headlines every week. You'll win the bet. I know I'll win the bet. The only question is, what does he do to retake the headlines? It can either be some war thing around Iran, something in Asia. It's got to involve the kids and the border patrol. It's got to be some outrageous thing. And as you said early on, you know, he'll go to the limit and then pull back just to get our attention. Okay. One of your clothes. You're my co-host here, Tim. Well, the clothes is, you know, I'm glad we got to the fourth. I'm glad people had a good time. I hope they had great picnics. But yeah, hang on to your hat for Monday and it's a long week next week. All right. Let's see. We'll see you here one week's time. Trump week. Trump week. Trump week. Aloha. Aloha.


Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Rudy Valley, Virginia Bruce, Una Merkel, and Roscoe Carnes in swing high, swing low. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. This evening, to borrow the tactics of a Toastmaster, we introduce a man who needs no introduction. Rudy Valley staked out one of the first claims to radio popularity and continues to be worth his weight in gold at the box office. The first time I went on the air was Rudy who introduced me. Tonight I give fair exchange by introducing him in a new identity. Dropping his triple character of orchestra leader, singer, and master of ceremonies, Rudy steps into the single personality of Skid Johnson. The singer in our play, swing high, swing low, and starring with him, much to our delight in his, we have the lovely Virginia Bruce, an inspiration to any singer. Swing high, swing low, adapted from the Paramount screen success, is the story of a small-time entertainer who makes good on the big time and of the woman who loves him before he swings high and after he swings low again. Although you will hear Rudy Valley playing and singing only one role in this production, I'll have to confess that he played a second important part backstage. He was our technical advisor, our expert on the background of the story. And playing an all-important part, offstage, of course, is the real producer of these plays, Lux Toilet Soap. For besides making hits possible on our stage, Lux Toilet Soap makes a hit offstage, too, with the ladies, and delivers a star performance of its own. During a drama in which one of the leading characters is a nightclub singer, you'd naturally expect to hear some songs. Well, we haven't failed you. In fact, that's one of the important reasons we selected Rudy Valley for the part. Our curtain swings high now for the first act of swing high, swing low, starring Rudy Valley as Skid Johnson, Virginia Bruce as Maggie King, Roscoe Carnes as Harry, and Euna Merkel as Ella. The Panama Canal zone. In the great waterway which links the eastern and the western seas, a passenger boat is waiting to be lowered through the locks on our way to California. Along the shore of the canal, a United States Army private walks sentry duty. Back and forth he paces in the red glow of the tropic sunset. Suddenly, his eye is attracted toward the boot, and his steps grow shorter until he's practically marking time. For just above his head, framed in an open porthole, is the face of a girl, a very pretty girl. The soldier drops his gun from his shoulder and stares at her delightedly. Hello. You. Up there in the porthole. I said hello. You weren't speaking to me by any chance. Uh-uh. On purpose. Soldiers aren't supposed to talk while they're on sentry duty. What can they do to me? They can fire me. All right. I've already quit. I'm all washed up with the Army. This is my last day. Hey, there's an idea. We ought to celebrate. The Army will probably do the celebrating.  No. I weigh 200 and I don't wear shoes. Fine. What do we do tonight? How about meeting in the dock under the moon? What if there isn't any moon? I'll meet you under the dock. No kidding. How about you and me going places when your boat gets in tonight? OK? No kidding. How about you scrambling so I can see some of the scenery down here? I'm the scenery down here. I'm Skid Johnson, the one-man Army. Ask anybody. It's been delightful, Mr. Johnson. Now go away.  I didn't think you'd admit it. Meet you in the dock at Balboa tonight. So long, Private. Nice to have met you. Hey, I'll be wearing my savings. I'll have a carnation in my buttonhole so you'll know me. I wouldn't know you if you wore a rose behind your ear. OK. That's an idea. Anyway. See the sights, Ella? I've got one night in Panama, and I'm going to see everything there is to be seen. Come on. I don't see that soldier you're told me about. But if you're looking for him, you can stop riding him. Say a date's a date. That's what I always say. Three dollars an hour of soil, thanks. Speak with English, taxi fare. What about grabbing a cab, Ella? Well, it's easier on the feet, but you've got to bargain with these guys. I'll be right back, Maggie. Three dollars an hour of taxi fare. Speak with English, taxi fare. One dollar, taxi cab. One dollar. It takes my car. One dollar round trip to Panama City. OK. One dollar. Wait here. I'll get my friend. Sure, sure, lady. Situated on the plaza, the cathedral is all its temples in Spanish America. And as best we stood, the effects of times go rosing hand. The cathedral builds 1675 and he's been for a long greater part of century. Pretty good, eh? Yeah. The only trouble is this isn't the cathedral. The sign over the gate said palace of the president. Oh, must be a wrong street. All right, soldier. You can come out from behind that mustache now. Hello.  You do wear shoes and you've got the British... Say, Maggie, do you know this guy? Then you can stop the car, Mr. Johnson. We're tired playing. Oh, come on. Be a sport. I told you I was mustered out of the army today. I thought it'd be fun for the four of us to go out and celebrate. Who's the four? Harry, the hottest piano player in Panama. We're not interested. Hey, speak for yourself, Maggie. I don't know what you've got to be sore about. When you hired this car, you thought you had a native guide. So it turns out that you've got a fine, upstanding American lad and his friend. He lives here, Harry, I mean. Now, just a minute, I... Oh, you like him. And instead of showing you a lot of buildings and statues, we'll show you the real town. Look. You're getting two guides without pay and you're kicking. Oh, come on. We'll drive around. I'll make my usual cracks. If you laugh, I think I'm good. If you don't, I'll think you're dumb. What can we waste? Two hours? What's two hours? Look at those stars. They've been up there millions of years, and you're worried about what you're going to do with the next two hours. I never heard anyone talk so much in my life. Did you ever try to sell anything? Sure. Right now. Me. You know, if you had something good to say, you could really be marvelous. I didn't know there were so many words in the English language. Say, I haven't started. Harry, Harry, come on out here. You're about to meet Harry Rankin, the hottest piano player in Panama. Is that you, skit? Say, no wonder he's with that overcoat on. Hello. Excuse me. I'm just recovering from an attack to chills and fever. Will you have a quinine tablet? This is a tropic chateau. Yeah, I know it. Do you know it? Really, a better hap-wad. Well, if you're for me, I've already got my pill. Harry, this is... My name's Ella. This is... I'm Maggie King. How do you do? I'm very glad to know both of you. You should be glad to know anybody. Come on, Harry, pile in. We're gonna show in the town the cathedrals bonitas, the boulevards, the cafés. I see the cafés. What is known as Morgan's Ruins? Don't ask me why, but it's quiet anyway. Nice moon, too, huh? Yes, beautiful moon. Having a good time? Yeah, so far. Wonder where the other two mugs are. That Ella's a nice kid. What does she do? She's a hairdresser on the Southern Queen. Oh, you, too? Well, not exactly. We're just friends. I was going to the coast and she worked me in as an assistant. Then you're not coming back this way, huh? I doubt it. Oh, do you feel different down here? I feel different. I feel all...  There is. Yeah, but I don't mean that. I mean inside, I feel like that. Kind of creepy.  Yeah, I know. Trouble is, the longer you stay here, the often you get that fireplace feeling. Oh, of course, that's bad. You could never mount anything hanging around fireplaces, could you? That's pretty, isn't it? Yes. I won't be hearing that kind of music after tonight. You leaving Panama? Yeah. Going to New York. Well, I hope you have better luck there than I had. What happened to you? Nothing. And when nothing happens to a dancer, it's bad news. Bad news.  You married? No. Do I look like the marrying con? Yes. Well, I am. Well, I'm not, so don't get any ideas. You're modest, aren't you? What are you going to coast for? Got a job? No. Pleasure trip? No. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I know it. It's a man. Oh, I get it. I'll bet you don't. I've known him for years. Once he asked me to go back with him, Marion. Rich guy? Oh, I think he's what they call a cattle king. Yeah, I know the type. You know everything, don't you? You want to marry him? I don't know. He always said I could come out and see if I'd like it out there. Sort of making up your mind, huh? I guess so. Well, as long as you haven't decided yet, be pretty silly if I didn't kiss you, wouldn't it? Be pretty silly if you did, wouldn't it? Would have a con to see each other again. Wouldn't make much difference one way or the other. Okay. Makes no difference at all. There. Thanks. That was just lovely. Feel better now? Sure, sure. Come on. Let's get back to town. Madder, don't you like singers? Oh, I love singers. I can't stand crooners. Uh-uh. I see. Oh, maybe somebody might like crooners. If somebody had been dropped on their heads when they were babies, but you couldn't be very bright and like crooners, could you? Well, now, maybe you're right. Maybe it's all. Hey, Skeed, there are plenty of snitches. Hello, Miguel. How's the band? Fine. Hey, Skeed, there. How about a number, huh? Just one. Quiet, quiet. Oh, but Skeed, my friend. Go away, Miguel. Go on. Say, what is it? What is this, Senorita? What is he, my friend, Skeed? The greatest. Absolutely the most magnificent crooners singer in all Panama.  Well, well, a crooner. So what? I was dropping my head. So what? Skeed, please. Just one of them. Sure. Go ahead. But just one. Don't go away now. I'll try not to. Come on, Skeed. Good evening, Senorita. Who are you? May I sit down, though? No, no, no. Go away. I've got enough trouble. Oh, thank you. I'll be so lonely for you only.  I'll be free of what used to be there for you. But you are not there still, Senorita. Wonderful. He's really marvelous. I long to hold you in my arms, Senorita. We will dance till dawn when you... Hey, what are you talking about? Get away from me. Go on. Get away. But why? Did you hear what I said? What's the trouble, Maggie? Well, I'm not sure, but I think this guy's being fresh. Senorita, please keep his distance. I saw the lady first. He is very fresh. Well, why don't you talk him? I can't.  What's that got to do with it? It's an old South American custom. It means you'll dance with anybody in the place. And she will dance with me. Put your hat on quick. Now listen, guy, you got this girl all wrong. Beat it. You will please keep out of this. Now listen, I said get scrammed. She's got her hat on. Get away. And $150 fine. What can I do? Take them away. Let's get Johnson. See Panama. See the site. See the inside of a jail for two days. What are you blaming me for? Well, if Harry hadn't come through with the balance of the fine, we'd be in there yet. Thick-duffy government. My boat's gone. My clothes are gone. Everything's gone. I'm stranded. Do you know that? Without even enough money to get me in a hotel. I'm sorry, Maggie. Honest. Oh, forget it. What are you going to do? I don't know. If I might make a suggestion, you're perfectly welcome to live with us. Us? You're skidding me. Skid just moved in. Thanks, but I... I'm sure you're going to find it very comfortable, Miss King. Skid and I can sleep in the parlor and you can have the bedroom, huh? Thanks, Harry. It's very sweet of you. But I don't think I could stand being so close to Mr. Johnson. He gets me. I'd like to get you out of this gym. If you want, Harry and I can move out of the place. And you can have it. Oh, sure. Oh, I'm sorry, Skid. I didn't mean to be nasty. I'll come up to the place. Don glad to get it. 85, 86, 87 cents. That's the bankroll, folks. 87 cents. Did you get that, Harry? You stop very much, is it? No, it isn't. That little freak has certainly put you behind the eight-ball, Mr. Johnson. With me, it's only temporary. Just a little boat comes through again, but with you... No, don't worry about me. I can always go back in the army. What do you want me to do? Go, native? Always talking about the army. No ambition at all. Why don't you get a job? A job? Sure. Do-in-what? Anything. You can sing, can't ya? He certainly can. I hate to bring this up, but Skid could go to work anytime he wants at Burfee's. Now, wait a minute. Who's Murfee? It's a girl. Everybody calls her Burfee because that's what she likes everybody to call her. She runs a cafe down the street. And she's offered Skid a job? Yep. Why don't you take it, Skid? She doesn't know. The last time I was down at Murfee, she threw me out. Why? I don't know. Somebody started a fight or something. Yeah. I wonder who. Well, just the same. You go down and see her. Maggie, listen. You don't know Murfee. Go down and ask her. Go on. Maggie, I'm too young to die. All right. You wait here. I'll get the job done. Hey, no girl runs interference for me. I'll do it. Listen, Skid, sometimes it's easier to sell somebody else than it is yourself, isn't it? For instance, it would be easier for you to tell someone I was good than to tell them that you're good, wouldn't it? Or would it? Anyway, you wait here. I'll be right back. I'll say you will. Okay.  So long, soldier. I made him promise that he'd behave, and he's really out to make something of himself. And he needs the job. He needs it bad. Besides that, he's good. You know that. Oh, please give him the chance, will you? Since when does Skid Johnson need somebody to blow the horn for him? What? Last I saw of him was a pretty quick guy with the words. Why didn't he come down and ask for the job? Well, that was my idea. Yeah. What do you do? I'm a dancer, but I don't... Where's your dance? New York last. You're good looking, too. Thanks, but I... I'll give you 30 bucks a week in your meals. What do you say? Huh? Well, it's a job, ain't it? And you look as though you could stand one. Oh, but I didn't ask for a job for myself. I only... Let it go then. But you couldn't work in a better place. And you're the type I like around here. You wouldn't have to do much. Dance a little. Talk to the customers. I think you're making a mistake. Well, let it go. Oh, I don't mean to be ungrateful, but it's Skid who has the talent. He's... Skid's got a talent for making more trouble than any ten guys in Panama. I know, but he means well. Yeah. And he really needs a job. A young fellow just out of the army with responsibilities and everything. Skid Johnson never had a responsibility in his life. He's got me. Well, you can't be such a serious problem. Say, you're kind of new in Skid's life, ain't you? New? Well, I should say not. Skid and I have known each other since childhood. He sent for me to come down as soon as he got out of the army. I wouldn't marry him as long as he was in the army, would you? So you can see how a man would feel on his very honeymoon with his wife working and him broken without a job. Don't just see, Murphy. That's why I can't take the job unless you take Skid, too. But he's a... We do a swell number together, Skid and I. I can't do it without Skid and Skid can't do it without me. Skid and I have always worked together. Well, not in the army, of course, don't you see? Yeah. I can see one thing. Skid's got more sense than I ever give him credit for. Oh, thanks. Thanks, Murphy. Don't see how you did it. Doesn't sound like Murphy. Oh, what's the difference? We've got the job, haven't we? Now, look, Skid. No, you look. How'd you do it? Skid, they're waiting for you. How'd you do it? Come on. Well, she... She's really a wonderful woman, Skid. She's what? She is really. Underneath all that bluster, she's a woman. And all women are romantic. Murphy, romantic? Uh-huh. I've been married. She went positively, do we, honey?   I told her we were married. You what? You care very much about your job. Oh, don't get sore, Skid. I'm not sore, Maggie. I'm not sore at all. You know what? Well, I'll be darned. I kind of like it. Oh, Skid, go on. There's your song. Once I was young yesterday, perhaps I lost all my girls to some other chaps Once I was young, but never was naive I thought I had a drink or two of my imaginary sleep But now I know what time it was Then I met you know what day it was You held my hand say I'm off Yuna Merkel and Roscoe Carnes will return in act two of Now while we're waiting I'm not going in for horticulture but I want to ask Sally here what she'd do if I sent her some flowers Why, Mr. Royk? How sweet of you Oh, now wait a minute, wait a minute I mean, what would you do about the flowers, Sally? Oh, just an academic question. Well, I'd put the flowers in water Yes, and then Well, I'd try to keep them in a cool place at night I'd see they always had plenty of fresh water And later I'd clip their stem In other words, you'd take the best care of them, wouldn't you? And why would you do that, Sally? Well, flowers are so pretty And it's nice to have them around You like to keep them Most women would agree with everything you've said about flowers, Sally But you know it's a funny thing Some women don't seem to apply the same kind of thinking to their complexions And yet there isn't anything lovelier Anything more important to keep than a soft, smooth skin I wonder whether the women who were listening tonight have ever thought that their happiness or perhaps the success they've worked for might be jeopardized if their skin should become unattractive Unpleased Oh, that really would be dreadful, Mr. Rueick But many women do run the risk of losing their nice complexions Without realizing it, they leave traces of dust and dirt, stale cosmetics to choke their pores They fail to do a thorough job of cleansing And that's how cosmetic skin develops those horrid little blemishes and coarsen pores that women hate Yes, Sally, neglect often causes cosmetic skin And it's mighty foolish for any woman to run that risk Goodness, yes And it's not a bit necessary Well, that's the point I was going to make You can use cosmetics all you like but use lux toilet soap regularly Its active lather helps protect the skin Does a job you can depend on and does it so gently too You'll really enjoy using lux toilet soap Now our producer, Mr. DeMille Act two of Swing High, Swing Low Starring Rudy Valli as Skid Johnson Virginia Bruce as Maggie King Rusko Kahn as Harry and Yuna Merkel as Ella Who's it been married to the gay but irresponsible Skid? Maggie has gone on dancing at Murphy's Cabaret in Panama The vote which was to pick her up on its return has passed through twice She's been thinking of leaving She's been thinking of Skid and how she might make something of it One night as they leave the dance floor after their number a girl is waiting at the door of Skid's dressing room Darling! Oh, hello Well, aren't you going to kiss me? Oh, I was so excited when Murphy told me you were working here Yeah, well, Maggie, Cynthia, this is Miss King Cynthia used to work here She's a singer How do you do?

Yeah, once I was in an earthquake once, too Meaning what? Meaning you're leading with your chin if you go falling for a guy like Skid Why, what's the matter with him?  Did you ever see him have an emergency? I don't have to Those guys all run through the form Oh, he's not any good for your kid You'd end up behind the eight ball, sure Well, I'd have a lot of swell company I should have known better than to try to talk sense to anybody in love They quit thinking for some reason I don't know I'm not kidding myself as Skid Perfect, I know he isn't He's just a human guy who likes a lot of fun and has it But that's Skid And that's good enough for me Yeah I, uh...

Well, Harvey's lawyers arranged it that way Anyway, I think the trip will do me good Have you told Skid? I wrote him, as soon as I got to New York How's he taking it? I don't know Well, Skid never was much for writing letters No, but he called me He ought to be here pretty soon Yeah, what for? Well, there's no sense in being unfriendly, is there? He sounded...

Mrs. Draper? Yeah Look at the crowd around her She's not exactly Helen and Troy either But she sure has got a feel What a swell complexion Almost as pretty as yours, baby It's true Smooth, fresh-looking skin always has a feel I know for sure that that's something a man Always notices about a woman And it's my guess that charming Mrs. Draper Is as wise as she is pretty I'll bet that lovely complexion of hers Gets thorough, regular care You know, you'd be surprised at the number Of older women who are smart enough Not to neglect their looks Smart enough to adopt the same Simple beauty routine That so many famous screen stars are using You mean the Hollywood active ladder Facials, Mr. Rueck I certainly do, Sally These facials with luxe toilet soap Take just a few moments And stars like Claudette Colbert And Barbara Stanmick and Loretta Young Use them regular day every day In fact, actually nine out of ten Screen stars use luxe toilet soap Well, that's because they know Luxe toilet soap's active ladder Removes dust and dirt And stale cosmetics thoroughly It helps to keep your skin smooth and soft The way you want it to be Now I'll tell you how Hollywood stars Take a luxe soap facial First, you work up a good rich Luxe toilet soap ladder with your hands And pat it into your skin very lightly Then rinse with warm water Then a dash of cold Use a very soft towel And pat your face dry Then when you touch your skin with your fingertip See if it doesn't feel smooth And soft and velvety Now, Mr. Rueck, I wouldn't think of going to bed No matter how late it is Without taking my active ladder facial It's such a swell beauty care You're right, Sally And I hope the women who listen in tonight Will make this simple test Buy three cakes And try these luxe soap facials for 30 days You know, many women, young and not so young Have told me that they wouldn't think Of missing out on the wonderful protection Luxe toilet soap gives their skin The protection of its active ladder care It's so thorough cleansing And you know, skin needs that kind of care regularly Every day To stay soft and smooth and lovely So let luxe toilet soap Help you have the kind of skin that's attractive Nice to look at We pause now for station identification This is the Columbia Broadcasting System Several months have passed And Skid is on the long downward path to oblivion His job came to an end His friends faded away And he found that it was even too late to Go back in the army On a cold winter night He walked slowly down Broadway His threadbare coat buttoned against the biting wind His hat pulled down over his face Suddenly his name is called And a figure blocks his way Hey, Skid! Oh, hello, Harry Gee, I've been looking all over town for you How are you, Skid? I'm okay Yeah? Well, how you doing? I'm doing okay Yeah?

As the New Year approaches, I want to take a moment to thank you for your service in the Navy Reserve. You've made significant contributions to the total force over the past year, particularly in Afghanistan, Djibouti, the Arabian Gulf, and Guantanamo Bay, where thousands of you have provided critical operational support to our combatant commanders. At the same time, those of you who have served outside the combat zone provided value capabilities to our Navy and the nation, from mission support to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, both at home and abroad. I'm extremely proud of what you've accomplished, and I look forward to another successful year for the Navy Reserve in 2014. The holidays are a special time for family and friends, and I want to wish you and your family the very best for a happy and safe holiday season. As you go about your holiday preparations, I ask that you take some time to reach out to your deployed shipmates and their families. We all know that being away from home during this time of the year can be difficult. So please let those deployed sailors and their families know how much their service means and remind them that they're not alone. The Navy family takes pride in caring for its own. For some, the holiday season can be a challenging time. If you need help or if you know of someone who does, there are resources available. Your Navy Operational Support Center's Ombudsman is always a ready resource. Another valuable service is Military OneSource. To access their programs, please go to their website and register. I wish you and your family many blessings during this holiday season and a very happy new year.


Big questions about small worlds presented by science at NASA Scientists who study the solar system tend to ask big questions How is our solar system formed? Where did the building blocks of life come from? What hazards from above threaten life on our planet? To find answers, they're looking more and more at small worlds. What are small worlds? Asteroids for sure Comets too Also the many small satellites or moons that orbit large planets as well as the icy worlds at the distance of Pluto and beyond Some have combined only to be broken apart later by collisions and tidal forces Others have gone largely untouched since the dawn of the solar system Some carry water and organic compounds others are almost entirely composed of metal and All hold keys to questions about our solar system and the origin of life on earth Dr. Adriana Ocampo program executive for NASA's new horizons mission says water is key to life as we know it Learning where water is found in our solar system provides pieces to the puzzle of understanding the origins of life New horizons recently surprised us by discovering a large abundance of water ice at Pluto More surprises are in store as new horizons Transmits the data from its January 1st 2019 flyby of the Kuiper belt object 2014 MU69 back to earth Small worlds can be found in a wide range of locations across the solar system from the inner solar system All the way out to the Kuiper belt when they are studied together These remnants of the early solar system can help tell the story of solar system formation Dawn recently completed a mission to the main asteroid belt visiting the dwarf planet series and the belt's largest asteroid Vesta Osiris Rex has arrived at Bennu a near-earth asteroid about 1650 feet or 500 meters across and will return to earth in 2023 with a sample So scientists can begin to understand Bennu's origin and history The Lucy mission will be traveling to six Trojan asteroids trapped in the orbit of Jupiter These objects are the only remaining unexplored population of small worlds in the solar system The psyche mission will be visiting a metal object in the main asteroid belt That could be the remnant core of a protoplanet similar in size to Vesta While those missions travel to their individual targets Neowise a repurposed space telescope in low-earth orbit has made infrared measurements of hundreds of near-earth objects And tens of thousands of other small worlds in the solar system These diverse worlds offer insights into how our solar system formed and evolved Dr. Tom Statler planetary science program scientist at NASA headquarters notes This is not your grandparents solar system and things are not as orderly as we once believed The data we've gleaned from these objects so far have changed the way we think about the origin of the planets For example, the small worlds in the Kuiper belt are leading us to think that Uranus and Neptune Formed much closer to the Sun than where they reside now then gradually moved to their current orbits The biggest misperception about small worlds their distance to each other Statler explains in the movies They always show an asteroid belt with millions of rocks almost touching each other Whereas in reality, there is much more empty space You have to travel hundreds of thousands of miles to get from one asteroid to another Yet scientists are also looking closer to home Determining the orbits and physical characteristics of objects that might impact earth is critical to understanding the consequences of any such impact and Responding to an actual impact threat if one is ever discovered NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with earth But to prepare for that scenario NASA is developing the double asteroid redirection test or dart mission as the first Demonstration of the kinetic impact technique that could be used to change the motion of a hazardous asteroid away from earth For more big stories about our solar system and how small worlds are yielding big answers visit science dot NASA dot gov


What's going on guys, welcome back to another video. Babe, say what's up. Hey. So right now, obviously she's in the bathroom. You can't see her because she doesn't have clothes on. Today, unfortunately, Janice and I are going to be splitting up. She's leaving me. She says I'm toxic. I'm fat. And what else did you call me, babe? Bro, give me OD and stuff. She didn't call me any of that. No, but seriously, we are gonna be splitting up. Later today, she has to go to her cousins. How old is she turning? 17. 17? Yeah, I know. For real? Yeah. Bro, I thought she was turning like 15. Right.  Oh, well, yeah. She has to go to her cousins' 17th birthday dinner later. And unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to go because someone has to stay with Blooper. But until then, we're going to vlog throughout the day. We just ordered some food. Had to, had to, had to order from this Mexican restaurant that we always used to get here in Jersey because they don't have it over there in Florida. So your boy had to get the barilla tacos. I had to, had to, had to. They just, they slap. Babe, what is this again? That you got? Flautas. She got some flautas. You ordered something on this, oh, this is rice, right?  I'm about to dog this food real quick. And then after, we're gonna be going to this chocolate store shop that Janice has been down to go to to get their chocolate-covered strawberries. So as soon as we're done eating and she's ready, we'll see you guys then. Well, well, well. Would you look at who's finally ready? Yeah, I'm ready. So it's even worse than it was yesterday. It is currently 35 degrees. So bloopers like freezing. We have to carry them out in a blanket all the time. This weather is ridiculous, guys. And it's like super windy. So it feels like it's like 20 or something like that. Yeah, and it was snowing this morning. Yeah, it was. Yeah, we're very happy and grateful that we're past this point. We're ready to go back to Florida. Yes, very ready. So right now we're about to go to this chocolate store before they close Janice's Beasts and for them chocolate-covered strawberries.  They are. Literally the best chocolate-covered strawberries I've ever had in my life. Yeah, I'm not, they are fire. So, and then after that, we're probably gonna go to my mom's real quick, and then that's where we're gonna split up and, you know, break up. I should title this video We Broke Up. See how many views we get. See how many views we get. That is doing too much. Mad clickbait, right? Yes. Mad clickbait. All right guys, we'll see you guys at the chocolate store. All right, so we made it. This is the spot right here. It's called, I don't even know how to pronounce it, but this place has been here. All right, then I hack it up. This place has been here since I feel like before we were born. Most likely, definitely.  Little Gremlin. Look at him, look at him. He's even barking at people left and right.  So I'm gonna take you guys, hopefully I can film like a little bit in there. But yeah, I'm gonna get some clips and I'm gonna get some chocolate. What do you want? Give me some chocolate cover elements. That's it? That's it. Not too many though. Maybe like a quarter of a pound or something. Something small. All right, so I'll be right back. Well, I got my chocolate. And what did you get me? Bro, these are like turds. I see. Look at this. Look at those little milk duds. Yup. So the same. Well, I'm holding the camera and I'm holding N.A. and I'm holding these, so. Give me.  I'm about to say, I just, I can't try them. All right, so this is how they look. Look at the rocks. They're, the reason why I love them is because they, they're not cheap with the chocolate. Like it's just really thick. Woohoo! My mouth is watering. That's a big strawberry. Damn! Mm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Good? Oh, so juicy. 10 out of 10. Yeah, this chocolate's 10 out of 10. So we just made it to my mom's house. I might show you my brother. I've been showing you guys my brother a lot lately on social media, specifically Snapchat. So if you guys don't follow us on Snapchat, make sure you guys do. We'll put the names right here. I might just show you out my brother for the first time on YouTube if he's camera-ready. Because if he looks like a mess and all that and he's not dressed, then I'm not gonna do that. Because then when he's like 25, he's gonna be like, bro, why'd you do that to me? We're gonna dog-less chocolate real quick and then we're gonna go inside and see what's going on. What is that? What is that? Look at the camera. Look. Look. Messiah. He's focused on blooper right now, guys. This is my one-year-old brother now. He just turned one a couple of days ago, Messiah. For all of you guys who are asking did my mom have the baby? Clearly, she did. So this is him. Yeah, if you guys follow us on Snapchat, you guys will know we posted a bunch of stuff about his birthday yesterday. It was honestly a really good time. So how does it feel being one? Messiah. You're one? I'm done. You don't want to stand up. He's like, I'm chilling. All right, guys. So this is probably like the last clip you guys are gonna see with me in it. Janice is gonna take it from here. This is where we split up. Say bye. Say bye. Bye. So I just went through the most. So right now I just got to the restaurant. So I pulled up to my aunt's house and she said that they're running late and the kids are still getting ready. So she told me to just meet them at the restaurant. It's called Maggiano's. It's like an Italian restaurant. I don't know if you guys can see. It's all the way over there. Very far. Okay. It is so far. I was just circling around for a mad long trying to find parking. Yo, people would be decent out here. Like I had my signal to go into a parking spot and this girl just like completely coming off and went into a parking spot. And usually, you know, I would do the most and like go crazy. But I'm a changed person. So I was just like, you know what? God's gonna handle you girl. So I just kept trying to find other parking spots and ended up finding one closer. So there we go. That's how we handle that. So anyway, I'm gonna go and tell them that I'm here because I'm just gonna say like party of whatever. And then hopefully they get here soon because they might get that reservation away if they late. But we'll see. I got a long way to walk. Pray for your girl because for a reason and it's packed in here. I don't do well with packed situations, but it's all right, I got this. So I'll see you guys inside when we're all seated and ready to go. I hope you can hear me, but I just got sat down and I'm still waiting on my family to get here. I'm the only one sitting at a table for 11 people. It's like jam packed in here. So I hope they get here soon. Like I said, parking was crazy. So I'm like, I hope you guys find parking fast because it's kind of awkward. I'm just sitting here by myself. This is not the ideal for an anxious person, especially a person sitting with the camera. You know, people tend to stare or whatever. But I got me some water and I'm just gonna sit here and wait and pray that they're here soon. So I'll keep y'all updated. So they just brought out some bread. Smells so good. I don't know if I'm gonna eat some. And then they brought out some aloe vera. This is really hot. So I might have a little poof. So let's see, let's try it. I usually have bread with butter, but this is very much Italian restaurant. Ooh, I just ordered so much. Right. Bon appetit. It's pretty good. I really like the sweet bread, but it's not too bad. So update, everybody's here. This is my family. They're trying to figure out what's in here. The reason I'm here is for my cousin, Sarri's birthday. Look at it, they're so grown now. Cause y'all are like 10. Yeah. We are. Yeah, we're. My other little cousins are staring over here cause they want to be on camera so bad. This is Elias. He wants to be on camera so bad. Right, I got some for free. This dog just needs to snuggle it and everybody else has some. All right y'all, I'm back in the car. It's so freaking cold. Right now it's 30 degrees. I'm like to my teeth. They're literally chattering. Like, is that what it is? Guys, it's so freaking cold. Okay. So I'm about to go to my aunt's house. Depending on if they're street parking or not, I'm going to stay. But I have a little gift for the kids. I got them some chocolates earlier. So I'm going to give it to them. If I can't stay, then you guys will see me back at the hotel.  And hopefully I get to meet their little dog because they just got a puppy. But yeah, I'll catch you guys when I'm there. This is Odin. He's so cute. How old is he? Four months. Dude, are you so happy that you have a dog now? We're back together. Yeah. I told her I'd take her back as long as she treated me right. And we came to an agreement. So how was it when I was gone? Well, you were gone. It was good. Tiring, tired. Did you miss me? Yeah, I did. I was just here by myself and I was mad because you weren't with me.  Yeah, he was literally, I zapped him down before coming inside. I don't know why you would do that. So he was running up and down. Bro, I have to get the key, the hotel key in my pocket. I can't do everything. She must have done it. You had, your hands were full too. What are you talking about? I don't know. Anyway, so that is it for today's video, guys. We are, like I said, we're back together. I took her back. If you guys enjoyed today's video, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up button. If you guys aren't already subscribed, make sure you guys hit that subscribe button. Anything else you want to say? No, I'm ready for bed, honestly. Today was about full when I was tired. That all that being said, guys. See you guys in the next video.


What stages did you strategize? I didn't have a carrier plan. But if there is one lesson that I can learn from the various stages of my life, is that sometimes you should not calculate too much the pros and cons and the benefits of this and the risks of that. Before you finish calculating that and weighing the pluses and minus, the fortune is gone and the chance or the opportunity that you could have seized has disappeared.
