Angioplasty and stent placement continue to be frequently performed for patients with non-emergency coronary artery disease, despite clear evidence that it provides minimal benefits. For example, it does not prevent heart attacks or death, yet as many as 9 out of 10 patients mistakenly believe that procedure would reduce their chances of having a heart attack.  Those who referred them for the stent and those who performed the procedure didn't believe that. Okay, then why were they doing it? Focus groups of cardiologists have documented a chasm between knowledge and behavior. While aware of the evidence to the contrary, they recommend and perform PCI, angioplasty and stents, because they somehow believe it helps in some ill-defined way. Physicians tended to justify a non-evidence-based approach. I know the data shows there's no benefit, but by focusing on how easy it is to do the procedure and the belief that an open artery was better, even if it didn't actually affect outcomes, all the while minimizing the risks. I mean, the procedure only kills 1 in 150, so here some are blaming the patients for not listening, but maybe as the physicians who are the ones ignoring the evidence. Or maybe physicians have too poor a grasp of the relevant statistics to adequately inform the patient. Regardless, what we've got here is a failure to communicate. So, tools have been developed. For example, a sample-informed consent document that lays out the potential benefits and risks, even laying out how many procedures your doctors have done and your out-of-pocket costs. Note there's a lot of blanks to be filled in though. What are some concrete numbers? The Mayo Clinic came up with some prototype decision-making tools in terms of benefits. Will having a stent placed in my heart prevent heart attacks or death? No, stents will not lower the risk of heart attack or death, but a week later, those getting stents report they feel better at least, though a year later even the symptomatic relief benefit appears to disappear. Okay, so there appeared to be this, you know, temporary relief and chest pain benefit. What about the risks? During the stent procedure, out of 100 people, two will have bleeding or damage to a blood vessel, and one will have a tad more serious complications, such as heart attack, stroke, or death. And then after that, during the first year after the stent, three will have a bleeding event because of the blood thinners you have to take, because you have this foreign material in your heart. But that doesn't always work, and so two will have their stent clogged off, leading to a heart attack. What does the world's number one stent manufacturer have to say for itself? They acknowledge the evidence shows stents don't make people live longer, but hey, living longer is overrated. Look, I mean, if that's all we cared about, living longer, entire disciplines of medicine would disappear. Why go to the dentist? Of course, the difference is that 80% don't believe that getting a cavity filled is going to save their lives, like they mistakenly do for stents. There's not 100 chance that you won't make it out of the dentist chair. The stent companies actively misinform with ads like this. Open your heart and your life. Life wide open. Freedom begins here. Their TV ad mentioned a few side effects. Turns out they missed a few, but more importantly, they're giving the false impression that stents are more than just expensive, risky band-aids for temporary symptom relief. Hey, but what's wrong with symptom relief? Look at those smiling faces, right? Even if the benefits are only symptomatic and don't last long, look, if people think that outweighs the risk, what's the problem?  So there really weren't any benefits at all. We'll see what the science says next.


I think the biggest takeaway in this session was that digital is what is going to contribute to that whole success. And within that, I think the government is playing a huge role. You know, we talk about the Aadha, the UPI, and many other digital public infrastructure that the government is doing. I think that is totally new. I don't think anywhere in the world ever has the government contributed so beautifully to creating a digital infrastructure, and it's now us, the private sector, to take advantage of that opportunity and make this dream a reality. The future is that we have to think beyond our narrow identities of an industry or a business function. I think this digital world allows us to think very, very broadly.  If Apple thought like that, they wouldn't be what they are today. If Amazon thought they are a book company, they wouldn't be there today. So I think we can think much beyond the narrow identity of our industry.  I think we can be much more than that. So I think to me, the opportunity for all of us is to think much more broadly beyond the narrow confines of business and functional identity that we have been used to. So it's very, very empowering, I think.


I don't even know we just we said I had a story About when it happened he called you first So I go now, I go out later, right? And I'm like I want you to tell this story tell it All right, so I got I'm like I gotta see do all I hit up do all my yo Let's grab some dinner or something like that. Like can you even leave the house?  He was not a Robin over there We can't go to Buckhead.   He's like, yeah, let's do it So we're Magic City and you know, we're going through what happened to him It's like tragic event where he almost died. He goes. He goes.   Yeah, and then he had a phone. He goes. I call a Charlotte Call Charlotte. I said I'm sitting there. I go Charlotte picks up the phone. He goes up. I Do all says I go man.   He goes. I need you to call ludicrous Oh, he didn't get to that browser. That was the end part.    I said, what's wrong? You need me to call Trey You know Trey is the go-to guy when somebody needs relief. I said, what's up?   Yeah, I'm playing Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's all we do is joke on each other showed you notice He said he said you like hold on my wife's calling. Let me call you back In a time of need that's not true. That's not he said you Because you know after after about three minutes, that's how Charlie gets off every phone call by the way You go hold on my wife calling.  I gotta call you Your wife bro, I was on the phone with Duvall for like ten minutes and it took me about five to realize I can't see I hear all these people around him, but it looks like a set. Yeah, and then at some point He started crying.  Hey, man, call Ludacris for me, man Yeah, he's like all the Chris in the plane Ludacris in the plane He's like and if somebody said you got to hang up you got to hang up you got to hang up and I'm still not sure So I call clay right? I'm like, so if this is a joke. He ain't call clay yet. I'm like clay. What's up?  Yeah, but the moral of the story is Y'all are comedians, bro. Yeah, so to never take us No, something's wrong until I know something's wrong even in time of need when your friend's head is blue Come on. It's nothing personal. They got on me this week because the you know the Joe Coy and if you know about they I mean the internet Joe was Joe was really going through I'm thinking they coming up there to put their back there. All y'all are always performing shows. Yeah. Yeah, am I lying? But Joe is crying. No, he cried with you and you sat there with this smirk of all smirks Smiling from ear to ear.   Did you have some did you have the Filipino Filipino community in your comment? They were very supportive.    It is what I laugh. He's like, that's not a joke So why'd you make it a joke?  And so he was yeah imitating the kids joke. Exactly Yeah, yeah, yeah, was that not funny shows. No, that was I did he tell you who that kid ended up becoming No, who me? That's why he was crying on flagrant. I was like And I don't even know if that kid was making a joke He was what do you think is he was doing a bad imitation of An asian person. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he meant to this. I don't know man. I just The moral of the story is it's hard to take comedians serious. Yeah, okay. That's really the moral of the story But are you also seeing how this might be like a you thing? Like when somebody's going through something traumatic your reaction is What do you mean man?  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Give me a second So so you to see if you cannot laugh or smile and I'm gonna tell you about the most Brutally traumatic thing that's ever happened to me. Okay. And also somebody is me projecting a little bit too Sure because when it's chicken uncomfortable.  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Okay, I'm listening.  Okay, my life. Can you look at me?

Oh, I could I could be sir incapable You mean if Taylor wasn't tell me a traumatic story.  Yeah, but was it one of the worst things that's ever happened?  We have to tell it seriously. You have to tell it. This is it could have died. You're here Yeah, yeah, you've all could have died. Yeah. Yeah, but he's here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Go So I think I told this already though.  You do what I do. I'm listening.  What I'm trying to do is be No, what I'm trying to do is What I'm trying to do is be objective because I know her This story is not going to live up to expectation. Okay.  Yes. What do you mean? You had a seizure? I was on a date and I had a seizure. You had a seizure this weekend. Yeah, hold on Why would you dare laugh at that Why is this guy a madman, yo?   Why would he, this guy is crazy. Why is this guy crazy, this guy's crazy, yo. This guy's crazy, yo. This guy is crazy. What happened? What happened to him? Oh, I was like, Is it not, and this happened this weekend? Yeah, this happened this weekend.  We're at brunch, we're in Brooklyn. This is like my second, third date with him. Yeah. And... Was it while you were ordering? No, I was like... Can I get some p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p. That though, that was a joke. Yeah. That though counts. That though counts. I'm laughing at an actual joke. That though counts. I bet you the date was telling a joke, and she just started laughing. No, I'm killing it right now. No, this is what y'all gonna laugh at. This is what y'all gonna laugh at. We're not laughing because this is traumatic. He took you to brunch. Yes. We're going to different spots. So we were drinking. I didn't actually drink enough water. So I was dehydrated. We were up. I was up about to dance with him. And he said that I remember just kind of... Hold on. You were about to dance? Well, he was awkward. No. What if Let's Get It came on?  Take this, buddy. Thanks, y'all. But we were already up. And it wasn't like... Yo.  Why didn't I see this? So what happened? Come on, continue. This ain't funny. We were... I was giving him... You know what a wally is? A wally. Like when a guy just stands on the wall and the girl is dancing on the wall. A wally. A wally. I've never heard that in my life. So he's on the wall. You've never heard of that? You call it wall dancing. Oh, no. Say wally. Give me a wally. Okay. It's a whole dance. All right. I mean, a whole song, my bad.  But I was up on him. And then I started... He's now. And he said that I had a seat. Like I kind of like... I mean, I don't know. I've never known you to have a history of seizures. I don't. That was the first time you had a seizure. He said I did. He said I was like shaking. Then I passed out. You didn't go to the hospital? So the ambulance came. I didn't want to go to the hospital because as soon as I woke up, there's all these people in my face and they're feeding me water. Once I got water, I was like, I am fine. No, you got to go to the hospital. You got to see what the cause of that is. I mean, they checked me. I was fine. Who checked you? Aren't seizures neurological? They're people from the ambulance. Aren't they neurological? Yeah, it has to be.  Make sure it's no short circuits. Really? That's what it means? Yeah. I mean... Yeah. He said I was only out for a few minutes. He what? He said I was only out for a few minutes. What song was on? Seriously, I'm not joking. Do you remember what this was? It was a Spanish song. What? I'm serious. It was a Spanish song. Which one? Like no hip hop. I don't know. I don't know the song. I'm sorry to have you tell. Yeah. What song did... When you passed out, like... What... Yeah, what was his next move? That he was very catering to, like... Oh, he, like, tried to... Yeah. He didn't think that you were, like, dropping it low or nothing like that? Well, he said he was talking to me. He said I wasn't responding. And then he, like, looked me in my eyes or, like... You should go to the doctor, Taylor. Yeah.  Like, that's something you should... I feel like it was because I was drinking, though. No.  Thank God. And yes, we all drink in this room. That's something else. Like, that's something going on that you probably need to get checked out. Yeah. Nobody put a wallet in your mouth or nothing to make sure you don't bite your tongue or anything? Not that I know of.  But that's what he... Again, I don't know. I don't... I thought I just kind of passed out. I didn't know I was shaking or something. So... Do we say this? No, I don't. You passed out? No. Well, damn. I will say I'm 100% positive now that these... I'm 100% positive that I only laugh at comedians' traumatic stories. Okay, why, why, why, why? They're actually funny, but it's only because y'all are naturally funny. Yeah. So y'all are always in funny mode. You know what I mean? Even when we're talking about, like, something incredibly traumatic. Yes. Taylor has taken me through a range of emotions in five minutes. And I don't want to feel any of these emotions that she's taken me through. Like, none of them. That was crazy that you did that little flip-flop on that one. Yeah, that's wild. I mean, do you really think I need to go see a doctor? Yes, you need to go see a doctor, y'all. Absolutely do. Any time you shake for no reason, you should see a doctor. Word is born.   I was drinking, though. No, drinking. I mean, I don't know. I'm not no doctor. And I had an edible and, like, smoke, so, no. You do that all the time. It's not like... I know. Did you sleep the night before? I mean, I was exhausted, so I think it's like a... Could be a combination. Could be exhaustion. I passed out because of exhaustion. It wasn't a seizure, though.  I passed out without dehydrating. I literally passed out in the studio. I had to go to the emergency room. Really? Yeah. No way. Yeah. During the recording, is there video of that? I don't know. It might be. I don't know if it was after the show or not. Yeah, we used to do video. We did video just to begin it, but that wasn't our interview. So I don't know. I passed out. And guess what Envy and Angela did? What? Laugh.   And that's when my wife was living in Sock & Liner. We weren't married yet. And she flew up here that weekend. And that's when I said to myself, I am bullshitting if I don't marry this woman. Yeah. You know what I mean? What do you think about...? Can we pay some bills?  Yeah, but I can bring...  You sure? Yeah, 100%. You positive? Okay. Tell me something traumatic. What do you think about naming your baby after your side chick? Depends on what the name is. Go. If the name's fire? See. You know what I'm saying? Like if the name is actually fire? Yeah. Why not? You don't think that it might cause a riff with your wife or nothing? Depends if the wife finds out. You're not giving me the whole details of the story. But having that little secret with the side chick and also naming your son after a girl who's back used to destroy. That's what makes it okay. Wait, why?  You name your son after your side chick. It's like, hmm. Ann is a fly name. Something is a fly name, bruh. Something with an N, bruh. I don't ever want something with an N. What? That's why you put... That's what that means. That's why you put the N in the middle, bruh. What you mean? What do you mean, bruh? What do you mean? What do you think?  He didn't sleep with it, though, according to him. He said it was just inappropriate messages through the DM. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She was definitely a crash test dummy. Oh, you hit? Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. I thought he said he wasn't... Allegedly, we don't know that. Well, we got... We got on good authority. Who was the authority? All right. You know. Her roommate. Oh, you know the roommate? I don't know her. Oh. Where it got around? Okay. Yeah, you man. No, I'll joke aside, he wild. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy.  You know what I mean? Like, and Sumner's a cool name, but it ain't worth that. Like, I don't have to name my child that. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's a weird, weird tribute. Let me see.  I must be doing something right. Absolutely. Got me. Funny. I'm so weird, too. And only listen to metal. LOL said no hot chicks ever other than you. Okay. Like metal music. I just can't believe this guy, man. All jokes aside, I don't know why any married man would cheat in 2022. Like, either tell your wife the truth and tell it. Well, we don't know that he doesn't have an agreement with his wife. That was my issue with it. Initially it's like he could have an agreement with his wife that he's allowed to get some strange, but I thought he apologized. He apologized for embarrassing her.  Yeah. You basically do it on the low. Because there's a line that I read. I did read this line earlier. I didn't like more women have come forward accusing Maroon 5 from an athlete of sending flirty messages, including screenshots. They claim proved the singer was behind the conversations.  Come on.  And I don't like how they word it.  Like more women came forward. Like God forbid the lead singer of a major band said something cute to you and a DM. Yeah. And the crazy part is I don't even know what flirting is in 2022. I think if you're a married man, you probably shouldn't send any DM. He was wild. He was wild. There's no question. But I don't know that he's not allowed to do whatever he wants with his wife. That's true. So if he's like, I didn't have an affair. It's like, well, yeah, an affair is something behind your wife's back. If she's cool with it. That's true. It is what it is. That's true. But it is potentially naming the newborn. That's why. That's shorty. That's crazy. That's why. I don't know one dude is not like, God damn, bro. I'm bullshitting.  But that's why. That's crazy. That's nuts. Like that's doing way too much. Like it's like you're trying to get caught. Because man, imagine if that name would have stuck.  That's why I don't think he was sleeping with her. That was my initial thing. Yeah. I don't think he was sleeping with her, bro. You're not going to take that name and name your child that if he was actually. Now, what if. What if we have on decent authority that it was going down? Did she say it was going down? Didn't she? Let me hear what she said, Taylor. She didn't want to say that. Let me ask you this. Why is there no consequences for women that go after married men or that have sex with married men? It's like, do you want to tell us that over here? No, the dudes get shamed.   But there's nothing for women who do it. And it is a foul thing for women to engage in. Like, two got to play this game. But you know why though. Why? Because it's a double standard. And it's the power dynamic. And the power dynamic will always be man is the power. The woman is, is not. Well. And so whatever the woman did, it's because the man force, not forced her to, but engaged in it and so pushed up on her. So here's my thing. In the sex, in sex, women have the power.  True indeed. We literally cannot. So there is one person who has all the power here, which is the woman. So if the person with all the power chooses to engage in a sexual relationship with somebody, she's the one that's making the final choice. Yeah. That's what it is. It's really the power of choice. My home girl, Ashley, AJ, AJ holiday from the We Talk Back podcast.  Cause if the side chicks wouldn't make the choice to cheat, then it wouldn't go down. She was like, you know, I'm probably paraphrasing here and she can word it better than me. But she says that as women, they should stick together. And soon as a man says I'm married, you should know that guy is off limits. But women don't like to, women don't like to hang out together.  Yeah. Or if I see more than six or seven. Too much responsibility, bro. No, but I mean this sincerely. You're looking at these group of women, like who can have a seizure tonight? It's like, I don't feel like this. I'm like, I don't know who knows CPR. You know what I mean?  No, really, think about it. In any successful show where it's like a group of women, they're just fighting each other. Yeah. That's just how you guys hang out. You don't want to be with one enough.  Six dudes will go hang out for no reason. Six women will never hang out for no reason yet. No, y'all got to have a plan. Name a time where six women just go hang out. You and six of your friends hung out for no reason. And it's always one woman in that crowd judging everybody. Erica Banks told us that.  If y'all ain't thick enough. Okay. If y'all ain't got the right attire on out of six of those women is absolutely one woman judging every other woman in the crew, telling her closest girl in that crew. Why is she here? Exactly. I guarantee it props for the club. That's not real friends. The men we like to being made points made. I was talking to me. I was talking to somebody, right? You know how they have the Oceans 11 movie, right? Yeah, they only made Oceans 12 because all the dudes on Oceans were like the director was like, you know, y'all want to just like live in Europe for a few months and then we can fill in this movie. And they were like, all right, fine.  I'd love to just be with my boys and live because they're all friends. A lot of guys do the movie. They tried to make Oceans 8. These chicks hated each other, bro. Everybody with an ego. I'm not leaving my trailer until they leave their trailer that there was no chemistry, no camaraderie, nothing. And it's just I don't think it's how women engage, bro. Every Real Housewives show is just like what happens when you get more than five women together? Fist fight. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you when it doesn't happen. I'm going to tell you with WNBA. Only in the WNBA. That's right. They fight each other all the time. Only in the WNBA. WNBA is where a large group of women can come together for one goal, one common cause, go out there, play, they genuinely like they love each other, like look at the Las Vegas Aces when they won the championship this week.  Yeah. But they're playing a sport that's not hanging out. And I think furthermore that they also enjoy the company of women from other reasons, like where it's like. So are you saying that you have to be friends with somebody you play with on a team, Alex? Kobe Bryant, God bless the dead would disagree with you. Michael Jordan would disagree with you. No. I'm saying that they have the game of basketball to distract them from the fighting that would happen if they were hanging out together. Ooh. That was a ball. That was fire. That was fire. That was fire. You got to give them something to do. You're right. Drinks will be thrown. It's facts, bro. It's facts. I don't think it's in their nature. That makes sense. I don't think it's in your nature. I'm sorry.  I think women are a lot more tribal than men. I think men don't necessarily have to be tribal. We just need a couple of things that connect us. You know what I mean?  Oh yeah. You know what I mean? No, we can connect and we can blow for hours. That's right. It can be about sports. Whoa. God damn. Just came back from a letter to you. I like that. I like that. I like that. You made it progressive. You know what I'm saying? Made it progressive because it was getting real cavemanish. You know what I mean? But I don't think it's a bad thing. I just think it's like, because I think if like, for example, I think like I can hang out with my wife for weeks. That's my best friend. Literally. My best friend. I can hang out. We can do it. It's easy. We can have fun.  There's no question. And she can do that. Could she hang out with her friends for as long as I is, could she hang out with her friends for as long as she can hang out with me?  Could I hang out with my boys for weeks? Yes, I could. I think, I think that's the difference, right? I think that when a woman has a real friend group, she can be with her friend group the way that we are with our boys. I think that we can connect with random people. I bet you saw so many dudes in Magic City last night. No, I was four of us. Oh, really? Yeah, we were there early. No random people came through. It was early. No, it was early. It was you, Clay Duvall. Me, Clay Duvall. And there was two other guys, maybe. But you never met them before. No. But y'all was kicking it. Yeah. Y'all had a great time. Yeah. That's what you're saying can't happen with women and random women. Yeah, I don't think. Well, Housewives show are all random women. They put these cast together and they can't work. Exactly. Why are you comparing a TV show like in real life? I think the difference is he's saying you can kick it with random guys, can kick it with random guys and have more shared experiences and be around each other longer than he's saying. You watch the view. You've seen the view? Yeah.  Have you watched Inside the NBA? No. Well, it doesn't matter. The people at home know. I get exactly what you're saying, bro. No, you're right. Who's having more fun? No, you're right.  Yeah, it's based on conflict. Teasing each other, making fun. They're sitting down, though. Like, what is talking? They're sitting down having conversations. If you're in a party scene lately, the parties I've been going to, girls twerking like, hey, we hype each other up, we friends. Until she started walling your man. Taylor, you just kind of like shitting on your own point. Yeah. And what Alex was saying about you give them something to do, to distract them.   Okay. We don't need activity. No, no, no. Not too long ago again. Yeah. My friend, Brittany, you know how me and her met? I was like looking, I was at a last lap and I was looking down over the balcony and she just came up to me and she says like something funny of a meme. And me and her became a real good friend. She didn't. She didn't. She didn't. Oh, you thought I was feeling you? No, she didn't. That's what she said. But and then I'm friends with her friend. Like it's no big, no problem. And we didn't have to be dancing or smoking or something like that. Like good, have conversations. That's a friend. Yeah, but it's not, it's not. No. I'm just telling you. And you gave a number. You said a group activity. I'm talking, I'm not talking about one on one. No, I met her for like all of us. Hang out. It's fine. It was like five of us. Huh? Never mind. You thought I was feeling you? Yeah. You thought I was feeling you? You were munch. Okay. How'd that song go? You thought I was feeling you? I can't even say it. Yo, if that, if that song shaming people who eat vagina. Yes, bro. That's why that's another thing. Women, you don't know what you want. So, okay. So Taylor just said that that song is just saying you just let it do it. Eat you out. Right. So the guy who does that you have a derogatory derogatory name.  You a munch? Why I gotta be a munch? I'm munching. Why am I the munch? Yeah. Why can't you just be Charlemagne? Why can't you be Leonardo? Why am I the munch? Why you reduced me to an action that you claim to enjoy?   Real talk. You are.  Yeah, that's facts.  You call me a munch? God damn. No. No. Why? Why? I think we need a boy cop munching, bro. I really think we need a boy cop munch. If it's not being appreciated. Clearly it's not. No, it's not. That song. That's right. That song does not sound like she appreciates the munch. No. Oh, you thought I was feeling you? You just a munch. I don't like you.  That's crazy. Wow.   Word up. Because the treatment that we get. Word up. Word up. Word up. Word up. Word up. You're going to objectify me like that and then wonder. Wow. Yeah. I'm feeling you. That chick is a throat. We're going to be crazy. God damn. How do you feel right saying that? I didn't feel like saying that. Wow. Wow. We might have to think about it. We might have to go to a throat. No, that's crazy. Wow. Wow. You thought I was feeling you? You're just a jaw.  Damn, yo. You thought I was feeling you? Wow. You're just a tongue. Yo, isn't that crazy? Okay. No, that's crazy. That's wild, bro. Yo. What about mouth? Yo, you thought I was feeling you? That chick is a mouth. Yo, that chick is a mouth.

Thank you to everybody that's been watching DVR and screaming on Paramount Plus Make sure to scream all the episodes on Paramount Plus and watch us live on Thursday nights at 11 30 p.m. Last week. We had a Great episode Angela ride my good sister Angela ride was on the panel with Malcolm Gladwell and Roy Woods, Jr And fat Joe was off, you know one-on-one and you know a lot of different things from that episode You know went viral. I can't believe that Malcolm Gladwell was riding for the Queen So if you want me to diss the Queen you've come to the wrong place. I'm a Commonwealth I'm born and bred in a calm my mom my 91 year old Jamaican mom was very very sad when the Queen died Queen represented something to us, you know She's a she was a woman of an extraordinary grace and dignity and in a world that needs a lot of lot more role models of grace and dignity and You know, there's there are some things that her country did that Are unspeakable but that doesn't set England aside from different many other country in the world I think it was more so I'm not I'm not gonna disrespect somebody.  You know I mean, that's what I think it was.  His take was like, ah, she's dignified No, his take was if you want if you think I'm gonna diss the Queen I'm not dissing the Queen. My mother was very distraught about the Queen's death. That's how it started Everything else was after that. You know what I mean?  You know what I mean back So that's true, you know, but I Malcolm man Malcolm I'm I love reading a lot of Malcolm's books but he said something on the panel that made a lot of sense to me because we tend to do that because All we know in our lifetime is what we know Everything else is history that we've read but the things that we experience we think what we experience is the greatest And we think what some some of the bad things we experience are the worst like to some people COVID is the worst thing that ever happened in the history of life So when I ask a question like is the upcoming midterms, you know, the most important election in American history and Malcolm's like No It's like I can name like 10 others And when he names him He's absolutely right. You know, I mean, he's like to see if kids I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think so.  Yeah, so We'll get through this. Everything's gonna be fine Nothing changes I don't know about that. You know why you care because you have kids I'm trying to find the difference why I don't care and you do care And it's not just a white thing. I that's where I was going.   That's true.  That's what's wrong. You know what I'm saying 100% So I don't think I think I think 100% I think it's race race Absolutely plays a part in every I was having conversation that this dude the uh about this race Absolutely plays a part in every single conversation That we have and gender and gender 100% and the more wealthy you get The less it plays a part. So there's a level of wealth where Race isn't affecting your day to day as much as it's affecting the poor black person Yeah, I agree with that but it can still affect you though. I agree with that. Of course they do Again, it plays a part in every single decision.  Hopefully I will be able to you know, you know shooting, baby No, uh But what I imagine is all these issues are very important because you're like, oh wow These are all directly going to affect my kid how my kid is learning how my kid is treated How the world sees my kid and all of a sudden you're locked back in again I'm in this weird stage where I got some money and I don't have kids and I have a life and it's just like None of these issues really affect us that much Yeah, and it was so interesting about what you're saying It's like when you're black, right?  You like yeah, man. Tell me more man.     They're not thinking about, you know equity Why would they be thinking about equity? You know what I mean? Like they're not thinking about stuff like that Those are issues that are like Significant to a a group of people. You know what I mean? It's in and most of it is is race based So I was I was with oval. We're in Atlanta and he didn't want to eat at this restaurant Because he was worried about getting shot. He didn't want to go or robbed He didn't want to eat too close to where he lived because he didn't want to know Want people to know that he lived there and like or the people that do know that he lives in the area Maybe they'll go rob the place because they know he's out to eat Type of that like he's constantly being concerned about right being robbed or whatever and I'm like, oh I get why you go to the Bahamas.  It's a different set of paranoia It's a different set of paranoia and you know the average person deals with and then think about it Y'all went to magic city He walks in with you He could say you a cop He could say you a lawyer.  It's just that's the game. Why it's like that. I don't know. I do understand why He loves going to the Bahamas because he actually gets to check out and not have to worry and Behind his back constantly and he actually is probably why you love and will it's like you get to release Instead of you're going to the grocery store and you're like, is this going to be the guy That sees me that's right or someone at the grocery store going to call their friend and say Yo, charlamagne's here if you want to hit him up on the way when he leaves like it's this constant That's right here, man. That's right. I mean, yeah, everything you're saying is 100% correct Oh, man, you got to find ways to check out Yeah Like where the places that you just get to go I can breathe easy here Everything's fine. I'm gonna be okay, man.   Yeah, you know what I mean? So it's just like I really don't know like for me Checking out is it's crazy as it sounds. I like when I'm doing the podcast, you know what I mean you're locked in That's right.  You know what I mean? I'm tired Do you know how you know how we getting you know why we're getting so much trouble? Why having conversations with friends in front of strangers?  Y'all don't know how we get down. Yeah, you know what I mean? Shit, sometimes I don't know how me and my friends get down. Yeah, I think Donnell's a friend until I don't Because I'm realizing he's really upset. Is he still upset?    Love you Donnell. No, I don't I do still I still love you also make sure I do love Donnell also make sure um to check out summer 85 Chris Moreau is in here right now. That's uh, his audible original Yeah, that's out through sp8 productions man It tells the story of uh the bombing of the move movement in Philadelphia in the summer of 85 and the correlation it has with Uh, the live aid concert I want to talk to you about something too crisp off air because I have another idea because I love The juxtaposition that you did with that and I have a because I have another theory that I can't prove And I have nothing to prove it But there is a correlation that I think people um aren't seeing and I would love to bring that uh to the masses Did you see woman king? Of course Really the funniest person in America, bro.  I don't believe you. I did see it.  You see what I mean? I don't believe him I saw it.  He was nowhere near that movie He was nowhere near The woman king he produced that movie bro. He was nowhere near the woman king Daniel Kalila. No, man No, it's john boyega. Whatever his name is.  He's in it. He's I love his role in the movie I don't want to give too much away, but that's the only thing I didn't like if I had the nitpick at it Because by the way, there is absolutely nothing to dislike about the woman king. All right, bro.  That's how I felt I enjoyed it a lot neat. Yeah, man. And I um You know, I see people saying that it's not historically accurate wait. Why isn't historically accurate because it's a movie But that didn't happen I mean Yes, it's in certain parts of it did happen certain parts were sensationalized certain parts were fictionalized, but it's what movie isn't What what movie is it? well, I mean Black panther was real Well, black panther is based off the door. I'm allowed you in black panther is based off the da homey, um amazon's from the woman king Yeah, I know like chris come here but chris can speak to this Like stuff like um because people like to use these examples like schindler's list What right Those movies weren't historically accurate No, they I looked it up. No, they weren't there was a real oscar schindler Yes But a lot of the things that first of all they would have to be fictionalized because how we weren't there every moment of these people's lives Then know what was going on But what was the movie where hit look I shot in the movie theater That assassinated the movie theater and glorious bastards and glorious bastards that didn't happen What you didn't get assassinated in the movie theater Just let the mass go chris. I swear to do it for your sake. I'm coughing today.  Yo, Joe Biden said it's over. Yeah, Joe Biden said it's over, bro 100% now, but can we go back to the door in melange or whatever the uh The door melange. Yeah, the woman king Was was phenomenal Um What assassins creed. Yep Assassin's creed that's the movie right video game. I thought it was a movie. Well, they've turned it into a movie as well Okay, so you think a lot of these movies are historically accurate chris I mean for the woman's king I mean, I would if people are questioning what's historically accurate with it There's a article that came out in the new yorker magazine like two months ago from a descendant of one of the kings of How do you say a dominey which is yes present day benign.    Hey, look at me the suicide. They think he did Oh in the bunker with his mistress Eva Braun So that's my point you didn't get killed in the movie theater I mean, I didn't see that. Isn't that a Terence Tina, yeah, it's a turn to listen. I thought I think what's what's interesting about this movie is that It touches on something that you don't really hear about a lot in the history books Yeah, and that is the african role in the slave trade, right? Yes, and I'm surprised that it's not getting more criticism for that Oh, it is. Oh, that is. Oh, yeah, and but I've always thought this as a as a just a white dude, which is like I don't see it as realistic that these white people just went to the shores and then just started rounding up black people and put them in There had to be some coordination for the people who lived there It was both it was both like because I think some of the first slaves that came into virginia Chris you correct me if I'm wrong some of the first slaves that came into virginia came into virginia because they were captured because of a War between the portuguese and I forgot what tribe but during that war They captured some of the slaves and bought them back to virginia. I I could totally see that I'm just saying the combination of both some were sold and some were these people Are completely cut out of the history book like when I learned about the transatlantic slave trade like I In no way did I hear about any of the kingdoms in Africa that were profiting from it at all and I'm just curious about like that's the white man's fault for taking all the credit Well, you it's it's actually kind of interesting. It's like you talk about like the whitewashing of history.  Y'all gotta go see it. No, no not the movie What I'm saying is the fact that they're even acknowledging. Did you see that? I think it's difficult for people right like you don't know how to admit that I mean, that's why I would say like honestly if that's something people want to check out The author I wrote it down David Wright full all day is the author Did you see the the english woman talking to don lemon? Do you see that? Oh, I did saw that.  It was like it was a combination. There was some that was sold It was some that was captured during war. It was some that was taken like like well all of them were captured during war It's whether they were captured by other black people or white people or Arabs, which really doesn't get talked about at all 100 100 the role that the Arabs played but I think I think so here. Yeah, here's the conversation A living crisis a austerity budget cuts and so on and then you have those who are asking for reparations for Colonialism and they're wondering, you know 100 billion dollars 24 billion dollars Here and there 500 million there some people want to be paid back and And members of the public are wondering. Why are we suffering then you are You know, you have all of this vast wealth the conversation is The the crown is passing like a billion dollars worth of wealth from the queen to the new king And there are countries that were colonized by the english empire that are like, you know, we won our reparations Like you took so much wealth from us And so he's posing this question to her Do you think that the english royal family should pay Reparations these places and this is what she says you have all of this vast wealth. Those are legitimate concerns Well, I think you're right about reparations in terms of if people wanted though What they need to do is you always need to go back to the beginning of a supply chain Where was the beginning of the supply chain? That was in africa and when that crossed the entire world when slavery was taking place Which was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery the first nation in the world to abolish it It was started by william will before was the british in in great britain. They abolished slavery 2000 Navalmen died on the high seas trying to stop slavery Why because the african kings were rounding up their own people They had them on cages waiting in the beaches no one was running into africa to get them And I think you're totally right if reparations need to be paid We need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffed in cages Absolutely, that's where they should start and maybe I don't know the descendants of those families where they died That in the high seas trying to stop the slavery that those families should receive something too. I think at the same time Yeah, but what's crazy about that? What did he respond? What did he say? Nothing he I don't know if he was out of time but he just he fold he fold But what's interesting is that this is this is fucking i've never heard this take I've heard the We're not paying reparations. Right. Okay. This is the first time i've ever heard a african people should pay reparations and two white people Did you see what she said then she was african the african kings should pay reparations to the families of the white naval soldiers That went there to stop the slave trade That is a hot take Yeah, but it's crazy though because every african nation she's talking about was colonized by europe And and the slave trade is one thing but what about the removal of the wealth from those african countries? 100 that there needs to be atonement for that so it doesn't even make no sense I just think it's crazy. We don't even know the name of one kingdom in africa that was involved in the slave trade It's not common knowledge. None of us could say right. We know every white country that was involved, but you don't know the we can't name one That was rounding up their own people and selling them because all the europeans took credit when you look at the Portuguese were the first people to start feasting off I'm telling you you think it was Because they were already there. I did a deep dive into slavery the other day because Wow Okay, this is I don't want to give away a great movie idea, but like the biggest slave slave rebellion of all time Uh, including african slaves took place in iraq In the 15th century really which I had no idea. I'm on chris break it down now. Ottoman empire. It's why it's the brand idiot was so if Southern iraq basura I think is the name of the city and it's all kind of reed and marshy areas and they were cultivating those areas to try To grow some sort of crop, but I remember which one and they brought in Hundreds of thousands ultimately of african slaves, but not from west africa, which is the portuguese and the british slave trade But from east africa again, yeah Sudan areas like that and these people lived in these You know essentially plantations for generations until they kept Building up and building up and then you know, they were second-class citizens.  I mean much bigger than anything that turner did i mean we're talking The slaves had tens of thousands of soldiers on their side. They managed to take over a large part of iraq They eventually lost and it you know, they the leader was killed and all that But it was like one of the biggest uprisings i've ever read think about that the point is everybody colonized africa Everybody raved afra or maybe or maybe it's up. They sucked the resources out. I learned that I know You know where there was another major slave trade around the 17th century Primera, right? Like kind of like in between europe and asia like kind of not too far from you know, russia took it off Why do they call them slaves they were they were going into russia and present-day ukraine the turks who control that area Bring them back tens of thousands of russians and ukrainians present-day ukrainian. I never had read about that I wonder if I wonder if I just want to say one thing real quick to the idea like The idea that like the world is plundering africa Human history is humans plundering humans. Oh colonization, but africa got it the worst I don't know. I got it the worst maybe You think so, I mean that's what africa have more natural resources than everybody Listen, I don't know. I guess what i'm trying to say is that like it's not like they're These people are conspiring going all right. It's time to get africa. It's who's ready to get got So it's like to a certain extent, but africa did have the most natural resource There's okay. There's no question that people want to take natural resources I guess what i'm trying to say like people were not discriminating On colonizing motherfuckers like white people were colonizing white people like right now russia is invading ukraine Like they're not looking at them and going the real guys look just like us.  They got money. That's mine. By the way, that it's really colonization What putin is trying to do is Yeah, 100 percent textbook definition what we did in the middle east, right? It's like what what we've done to one another like what china wants to do to taiwan Literally what china wants to do to taiwan. It's like human beings Are fucked up and if you think that That wasn't happening within africa africa is the size of I think all the other continents put together something like that Like average massive if you think that that wasn't happening Internally the woman king shows you that exactly and africa colonized parts of europe I mean they colonize spain Hannibal al al andalus is the moorish Kingdom of spain that reign for oh, yeah the andals. Yeah, it's like they you know, it's it goes both ways But I guess what i'm saying is like this is a human thing This is what humans do one another and it doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it okay But it is our history And I think it'd be beneficial for us to study this and see what we are capable of so that we can not repeat it Yes, but also the reason that they really my personal take is the reason they don't want to study it Is because they know it has to be atonement and atonement would come through some type of Finances so it doesn't benefit this the system that we're currently in to actually have to atone for Right, you want to you want to cover it up? You want to ignore it, right? Absolutely, of course. I think it's up to the people To not let that happen.  I mean scottish people love to talk about five minutes Oh, yeah, yeah, we were slaves for generations. Would you give it up though? I mean number one that is your history. So you should be able to tell your story But also there's always atonement There's always atonement. Let me ask you a question. Would you give Reparations to afghanistan like as an american would you pay tax dollars to give them money for like what we put them through? I don't have nothing to do with it. We do we do you've benefited. I don't have anything No, but you do you benefit it from it directly just like you could say the white people have benefited directly from white supremacy Even though that I haven't enslaved anybody personally.  Are you willing to put your tax dollars up to pay them back? So if we do that now our tax dollars go to stuff all the time that we don't know what they're going to No, what I'm saying is supposed to go to people that need it. Are you ready to go?  We need to pay those people some money Um, I think the better I'm not I ain't giving them shit the better question is Would you as a white person be willing to give up some of your tax paying dollars to atone for the original sin of america If you know in the future, this is what's going to actually probably make america better Well, those are two different questions Would I pay money?  No, no, no, I'm saying I would do it But that that is somebody going a hundred percent.  Like They should have corrected all of this way back. Well, that was when it was cheaper. Exactly. That was the you know, I mean Like same with tommy. They offered the indigenous people is they should have off they should afford to get in the music I went to Funny that they recognized even back then, right? Yeah, like something needs to be done Yes, it's interesting and no one of the people that know history better than we do Yeah, like they know exactly what happened that they even admit that like yeah, we do got to give them something Yeah, like the same way they did native americans To a certain extent Do you think back then the idea was We got to give them something because it makes it right or if we don't do it There's going to be problems and this is the way I think combination of both I think that's why like in like england paid for their slave owners Right like anybody who lost slaves when they made slavery illegal They got a check from the bank in the bank of americans did too. No, no, yeah slave owners after uh Was it the emancipation proclamation slave owners got reparations google it Slave owners got reparations google it slave owners got reparations I think I forgot how much it was but slave slave owners got slave owners that lost They're in uh slaves during after the emancipation proclamation. They got reparations Look it up chris looking right now. Did slave owners get reparations in america? I thought about that though like how different would things be in america today if Freed slaves got 40 acres in a mule. Um, it would be a lot more black wall streets Right, you know what I mean? It would be a lot more Self-sufficient there'd be less like economic inequality For sure. Yeah without a doubt without a government paid owners an average of about 300 dollars equivalent to $8,000 and 2000 per slave The american government paid that yeah to whom to slave owners No, but it's the district of columbia compensated emancipation act But this is only a district of columbia. Yeah, it's just that's what I mean I mean, that was the majority was that I was like this southeast region. No, district of columbia is just washington dc Just dc I what what I I thought I thought I was bigger than it might have been what I do know is that england did it now I don't think england had many slaves in england. I think that most of their slaves were in the caribbean, right? So but still the fact that they gave the slave owners a payment for their slaves probably stopped a revolution From happening in england, right? Whereas your your lights on your phone, uh, whereas In america, I wonder if that would have happened if that would have held not have a revolution and then ease That economic insecurity. Give me your phone chris. I got it Maybe I have it. Um It's that's what I'm still on give me your goddamn phone right now. Jesus christ christ Yeah, I mean after 45 you got a you got an exception on these sort of things Now, I think that's just the name of the bill chris. Okay, might be yeah the district of columbia compensated emancipation act That's the name of the bill The federal government compensated the owners of enslaved people for their loss of property The people who were freed were not compensated nor any assistance for the transition today You're not doing this because it's the just thing to do you're doing this to avoid war Yeah, like and sometimes and sometimes you have to make incredibly difficult decisions to avoid loss of life Yeah, or or if you really and I don't know if you believe in energy and you believe in Karma you should want to atone for that You know what I mean? If you think it was wrong and you can look back and say man, you know Yeah, we treated people like property. It was inhumane. Especially that's why it's so interesting to hear all of these democrats talk about Immigrants being treated inhumane. I don't want to hear no white politician talking about people being used as capital, bro Right, like come on in a country that celebrates the founding fathers like knock it off Right. So it's like if you can see that atone for it and let's see if we can, you know, make things right and Have a better future.  Yeah Now that doesn't mean that black people weren't going through things But the original sin of slavery Had ended by the time my family came here. Well, to your point about benefiting right without a doubt You know what I mean? So it's like the same thing. Would you say afghanistan? Would you say afghanistan? Yes, if so if we're benefiting off work that they did or whatever it was It'd be the same logic People came to America we were here when we invaded and we put Politicians in place that decided to invade and we didn't do anything to stop it I guess what I'm saying is like there's probably somebody more responsible Than me who's benefited more than me. They're probably legacy families New Orleans who has I think the legacy like that's when I was doing my little research.   It's horrible. Yeah, that's what happened with denmark vessie and y'all just I can learn it Like yeah, that's that's what was so it's horrible I I I don't like that argument because it seems like you're calling all other slavery like slavery light You're like, oh, they ain't really they weren't really slaves. Like I've heard people do this What is that though? No, no, like american slavery was so great.  Why do you feel that way and I'm about to bring it back around Because it's entertainment because the movies and the tv shows If they that's what they show us they show us slavery in america and how brutal it was I haven't seen the stories other places. Yeah, I've seen stories about the holocaust That's how I can say how brutal the holocaust was, you know what I mean? I haven't seen the stories about indigenous people in native americans like they don't show us that So going back with the woman king, I appreciate The positive propaganda if it's if it's not even if it's not based on a true story, I appreciate seeing a group of people Talk about the complicated nature of slavery Actually have a conscience and say this is not something we want to do anymore Going to free Other slaves and burning down the slave port Why did I love jango because jango wasn't a victim? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Why do I love the woman king because don'ts women were not victims like there is some white people that get killed in that movie Really? Oh my god I was like the last 20 minutes third best fight scene I ever seen in a movie ever really infinity war in game Woman king dammit. Wow Okay, that final fight scene was amazing. I mean they show some brutal shit and I'm like wow That was great That's fire and guess what every now and then that's what you need you need to leave a movie feeling empowered Because you see your people in a Victorious position that usually doesn't happen in those kind of movies. So So it's nice. I enjoyed it thoroughly So y'all believe in reparations? That's all the one that's the final question Of course, of course, okay All right, uh, let's do some asking idiots Taylor TJ bottle pockets wants to know how would y'all lives be different if you swapped heights Swapped heights I wouldn't want to be that tough I feel the same about your height.

Yeah, but how many people would join that should would be like magic city on a friday but The people who would join are is it people that could actually shift things I think yeah I mean because if you've been worshiping a Blue-eyed white man all of these years and you find out this person is brown You got to rethink some of these policies you've implemented the whole oppressed, uh Brown people. Oh, yeah, because yeah, they had like justifications for slavery All over the bible now.

Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien at TFNN. We have five days a week, we go seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever. You focus on growth, hope everyone's having a great day, safe day, it's making a great night folks. To begin, a great relationship, know what you want. Know what the needs of your mind are and what fits well with you. There are millions of men and women that some of them will make a good match for you and others just won't. The two of you, only to be like a key in a lock, a match that works. I'm not gonna lie, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industrial's up 231, Nasdaq's down 156, S&P's are our five gold contract. Trading down four to all is 30 cents at 1954 and ounce. We get silver down 16 cents, 25 to all is 23 cents an ounce, light sweet crude, flat, 102 to all is 75 cents a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year note. Up 11 ticks trading 119, 15, 30 year off, up a point and a half rather at 140, 30 and King dollar. King dollar's down 579 ticks, trading 100.382, Euro is at 108, yen is at 127.79, the British pound is at 130 to one US dollar. iPhone number's 877, 9276648, give us a call folks. One note's going on in your world and the world of the S&P's, let's take a look at it. What do you have?  What is that set up? Guess what, we know what it sets up. It sets up lower lows coming at us. We're sticking out like a sore thumb out here. Look at this, that high volume low on the S&P. 410, we're at 444 right now. That thing is just sticking out like a sore thumb. Bottom line, we'll see how much more cars that's to build, see when this came down, if you can take a look at this, the first place that stopped is where we had volume. You know, you had volume in the market when we came off that last low, March 16th. That number was 435, so when you come straight down, remember something folks, the market's all about energy, energy on the way up, momentum in the way up, energy on the way down, momentum on the way down. So, came down, laid around there four days, and you're gonna see, when we did that, even when it had a little volume, it gave it up on price, but yet it didn't have enough volume to bust this.  Once again, NDX 100. We take a look at the NDX. NDX is set up the same way. NDX is much cheaper, much cheaper, much weaker than the S&Ps. Bottom line, that got to a high, a high. It didn't, the thing that's amazing about the Qs is that they couldn't even fill the gap. The gap out here was, we got to 347.56, and the gap is 348.50. So, bottom line, this is building cause for lower price. Gold, gold contract out here, but we had gold, gold got slammed yesterday, but when it did get slammed, the bottom line, it had lighter volume than it was going into.  So, what we did is this, so picture, we were going into volume of 215 million, 215,000 rather, we did 180. That was yesterday. Today, we're only at 128, and you get a rejection of price. That simultaneously, which is important, we get over and we take a look at the US dollar. And then what you're gonna see with the dollar, the dollar got to 101, what is it? Yeah, 101.03, and that pulled back. Now, certainly when you take a look at this dollar, it's just pulling back. That's not a big deal, man. It's only 579.6. What is a bigger deal, but my take is that, we'll probably get some follow through. The reason being is this. If we go over and we take a look at the yen, when we were closing out the show last night, bottom line is that, hey man, keep an eye on this yen because the central bank of Japan said flat out, man, they are not gonna let that handle 130. Well, we got to 129.40 last night and we're at 127.79. You know, if you haven't seen how the bank of Japan can come in a market, folks, okay, you're gonna have some fun watching this because when the bank of Japan comes in a market, it is brutal, I mean brutal. Some of the higher volume equities that we have out here today, Netflix, of course, is the king. We'll go through Netflix. Netflix is down $127.00. You get advanced micro down three and a half bucks. Facebook, Meta is down 17. It's a big number there, there's no doubt about it. Disney's down seven bucks. You get Snap Off two and a half.  And this is gonna be really funny as to how many folks were buying calls on 420. 420 folks, I think, I don't really know what it means, but I know everyone wants to smoke pot on 420. And in fact, do you know what's amazing? That, you know, we know that Elon musted that 420 deal of the buyout. But what he also did, which I didn't realize until I stopped really looking at it, is that the latest buyout he does, the last number is a 420 in it, you know. He's just always yanking someone's chain. Now, let's go to Netflix, because this is pretty intense. Netflix, folks, looks to me like an ABC down 100 bucks. Okay, so we take a look at this, but you're gonna say, well, first I wanna show you this. Okay, we talked about this. This is when the 287 was game. I just wanna show you these high volume lows, you're gonna pay attention to them. So that was the 290 was the high volume low. Now, bottom line, it said, see you later, man, I'm not stopping at 290. So Netflix blew away everything.  What you're gonna see is that you're gonna break a B point with volume. It's gonna be a 300 A to B, is it a 350? One second, I think it's 350, it's 350. I get, yeah, it's 350, so you get 100 bucks. Hey, I know that sounds brutal, man. Bottom line is that that's how it's set up. So we'll see how this shakes out, man.  We need a 241 million on a monthly basis, and right now you're already at 190, and it's only halfway through the month, so. We'll see how it shakes out. What's scary to me, and I don't own Netflix, and this is something that, you know, listen, if you own it, you could buy puts, you could, not today, because the volume, well, they're probably, it's hard to tell. I'll have to look at the premium. But, you know, in order to protect yourself, because see this down here? This is like sick. We have volume at 18 bucks.  What happens, folks, is this. When you have an equity, that actually goes down this fast, and I'm not talking about from the high, I'm just talking about, let's say, four months. You just went from 600 to 220 in four months. There's, this supply line is brutal, man. I mean, there's a lot of people that just, they're in there, man, and that's a brutal execution. Stay right there, folks, come right back.
