Hour 4 of the Monday April 8 edition of A&G features...

  • A volume of responses to the Ai chatbot & the value of psychology...
  • Richard Dawkins' concerns with the decline of Christianity in the Western world...
  • The kids won't use punctuation...
  • Final Thoughts. 

From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty show the sky and everything else around you.

The wind sometimes starts to pick up, animals get confused, the streetlights come on.

It's not like nighttime.

The sky takes on this sort of fish scally shimmery quality, and you will freak out.

No.

I went to the last total eclipse and I did not freak out, as it was pretty well described exactly what was going to happen. Now, if this had happened out of nowhere and I didn't know there was going to be an eclipse, I would I might have gotten a little freaky. But the fact that it's been the lead news story for the entire weekend and everybody knows it's coming, I don't think you will freak out as that expert just said there, and the idea that the pets are gonna get somebody said, you mentioned uh, cats getting squirrely. I haven't seen that, but I've seen squirrels getting caddy. I don't think any animals are going to act any differently whatsoever, because I don't think they animals wear watches, so they don't know what's getting dark earlier than it's supposed to. And I just it just doesn't make any sense to me. But I'll be glad when it's over and we can move on to other important things like the royal family or something else freaking stupid. Here's something that's not stupid. This is something that's very, very important. We do have a mental health crisis going on in America. I think now we do.

We do.

Not all aspects of it may be accurate, but we definitely have people opioiding themselves to death. We got higher suicide rates for young people than we've ever had, like exponentially higher than we've ever had, And so something's going on the just general malaise.

I don't know.

That just might be life and we need to stop whining. But sixty minutes to a feature last night, and I'm going to get to some text we received on this topic. Sixty Minutes did a feature last night on this new chat bot thingy that you can download and you got an app.

That deals with this. Play clip sixty one where they kind of described this for me and Michael.

Alison Darcy, a research psychologist and entrepreneur decided to use her background in coding and therapy to build something she believes can help people in need, a mental health chatbot she named Wobot.

Like woe is Me, Woe is me? Uh huh.

Wobot is an app on your phone kind of a pocket therapist that uses the text function to help manage problems like depression, anxiety, addiction, and loneliness and do it on the run.

Yeah, I don't think that's going to work.

And my reaction to that has been my negative attitude toward therapy that I've had for a number of years now, having engaged it a lot, and I'm always frightened to say this. For some reason, I feel like the whole country went overboard the other directions. So for years and years and years, I guess I was too young, but I guess for years and years and years and years, there was too much social stigma for anybody to ever come out and say they were depressed or wanted therapy or needed therapy or anything like that, so nobody did. Then, somehow, through the seventies and eighties, it became very more popular and it was all rammed down our throat that it was the right thing to do and there's nothing to be ashamed of, and that's what strong people do, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well, I think we overcorrected and to where there's just way too many people getting too much therapy and expecting too many results out of it, to where I am, with my own anecdotal evidence and that of many people, I know that it is mostly a waste of money and time, which is especially unfortunate because if you go to it with your kids really struggling, you're really struggling, your marriage really struggling, your grandparents really struggling, you know, your mom's lonely after dad died, whatever, and you're expecting some sort of help, it's pretty disappointing to find out you spend a lot.

Of money and nothing really occurs.

So with the caveat that I have had some successes, like some really huge successes.

Now maybe you would make the argument that.

Well, a few huge successes is worth rolling the dice and all the other people that it doesn't work out for. I don't know, a man, there's a lot of money tied up in this. We got a couple of texts, including from a friend of mine, who is a therapist who said, Lol, thanks a lot, Jack, But you're not wrong though there's a lot of terrible therapists.

There are a lot of therapists that are just terrible.

They got whatever degree they had to get to do that, and they're just not good at it. Then there's the whether it works or not even in the most capable hands. Then there's the how good a job did you do on your end? Did you go to a therapist actually wanting to fix anything or correct your behavior or save your marriage? I mean, do you go to a marriage counselor hoping your marriage would fall apart anyway, which I think happens a lot. But we got a ton of texts on so I just wanted to read through some of them. Of course, with the confirmation bias situation of you're probably more likely to text me and say you agree with me than do.

Argue with me.

From the text line, great success with EMDR therapy for trauma. That's a specific sort of thing. Or they shine these lights in your eyes and everything like that. That's more of a science. But they also said talk therapy is a waste of money. Got this one thousands of dollars on marriage therapy still got that divorce total waste of time and money and emotional energy. That's what I've had that experience, not around marriage divorce stuff, but various things with various family members. Is the emotional energy. I mean, you've got a serious crisis on your hands and you're hoping this is the way out, and it unfolds so slowly. Usually you're doing one hour once a week once you find somebody and you just so want to fix whatever this problem is with your kid, with your graham or whatever, and you emotionally invested in this and it unfolds so slowly, and you got to take months to even determine is this doing any good or not? Man, it's tough and I've been there a bunch of times. I feel for if you're going through it right now. Got this text after approximately three years in therapy. I completely agree with your assessment. It didn't change anything, but my budget been involved in therapy for twenty five years. Basically, they just sit there and listen to you vent a close friend to complain to with and provide same. I think a lot of therapy is that people are lonely need someone to hear and validate their thoughts. That's this person's experience, so you know, and you could make the argument that that's worth paying for if you don't have a close confidence to talk about or it's the sort of thing you don't want to talk about with any of your friends. You want to talk about it with a you know some of you're not emotionally invested in, and tell them what's going on in your life. But that doesn't mean necessarily that they got any therapeutic, you know, time tested, they learned it in psychology school or whatever. Fang, they're just listening to you talk, and maybe they're a wise person say maybe you should stop doing that, or I can understand why you're so upset.

Psychiatry is a joke.

I wouldn't agree with that, although I've had some bad experiences with psychiatrists, actually i've had I've had more failures with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are the one that doll out the medicine in case you don't have that. Therapists Psychologists there about dealing with about talking to you and methods and that sort of stuff. Psychiatrists are the one that fix you with pills. And I have many experiences with psychologists bad mouthing psychiatrists saying they only want to give you a pill for whatever's wrong with you. I've had experience with psychiatrists bad mouthing psychologists and their world saying all they do is talk to you and nothing ever change is you need this drug to help with your anxiety, depression, whatever it is. So that's frustrating on its own. I've had two different people paying lots of money telling you that the other profession is a waste of time. This is just my personal experience. Anyway, this person says psychiatry is a joke. Psychologists can be very helpful if you've got a decent one. Psychologists, by the way, people often use interchangeably with just therapists, but technically it's not. A psychologist has a PhD. So anybody who calls themselves a psychologist should or probably does, have a PhD. The other thing you're going to as a therapist. I asked a psychologist once, I said it was recommended that my son have PhD level help, like with a psychologist only, and he said that's complete bullless. This is this guy with the PhD said that that's bullless, thinking that only someone with the PhD can help you. So I don't know this is all anecdotal. I don't know you're supposed to do with this information. I don't even know what I'm supposed to freaking do with this information.

Uh.

Fifteen years ago, I was house bound by panic attacks. Psychiatrists gave me drugs that did no good one month, once a week with a good therapist, and then I was out and about in driving everywhere. So there you go, there's somebody with a good experience therapy. I think it helps in countless unknown ways. For instance, I discovered, after years and thousands of dollars, that I would rather spend money to talk to someone about my problems and actually do anything. And it's up to me to implement strategies and request accountability for therapists or counselor. There's a lot that goes on in that. In the therapy world. You want to go and bitch, and it feels good to bitch and complain and have somebody validate your bitching, say you're right, your wife is a b or your husband is a D or your mom was cruel to you.

And then you give them a write.

Them a check for one hundred and eighty dollars and you walk out the door, and you come out next week, come back next week, and you bitch about your parents again.

Is that what therapy is supposed to be? I don't know, but that is what a lot it is.

At one other point, I wanted to throw in here just because I've had quite a bit of experience with this, and I think the thing they focused on in sixty minutes is and you'd be awesome it works. I hope it works. I think it's a load of crap. If the personal person you sit with an hour every week can't help you, I doubt this app by typing in a couple of symptoms is going to give you any help. Wasn't one more calvy? The one more thing I wanted to throw in about their therapy? Oh, I always remember this. Who was a rated namely a popular radio therapist Michael Oh.

It was doctor Laura, Right, No, it wasn't doctor Laura.

It was somebody else. There have been a number of them over the years that had big shows. But I think I know what it was, but I won't guess in case he didn't say it. But there was this one male syndicated therapist dude that I remember him saying one time he got out of the actual practice, but because he got the degree, because he thought he was going to really help people, and what he realized it was mostly people coming in and bitching about the fact that their lives didn't turn out the way they thought they would. So people come in, people in middle age coming in bitching about the fact that their lives didn't.

Turn out the way they thought they would.

So you had certain expectations for happiness, or how far you'd be along with your career, the way your kids would behave, or your wife or your marriage or whatever, and you go on any complain about it. And this particular guy got out of the industry because he couldn't handle it. I'm not helping anybody. I'm just listening to people bitch about unrealistic expectations.

That might be.

In fact, I would bet that's the majority of therapy. People bitching about the fact that things didn't turn out the way they wanted, and nobody gets any help, and you write them a check and you go home. Not all of it, Like I said, I've had good experiences, but I think that's what most of it is.

There.

You go buyer beware be warned. I feel for you. I really do, because I've been there. If you got a really tough situation, you desperately need help for you or someone else, and you're thinking that this is going to fix it right away. Well it might, but boy, go in with little expectations. There you go watch the sixty minute piece if you want to know what they're doing with the latest. Speaking of sixty minutes, they focused in on the landmine problem in Ukraine, among other things. Aid for Ukraine is that ever going to come through? We can talk about some of the politics of that and other stuff on the way.

Armstrong, Heyetty.

It was also reported Friday that the US economy added over three hundred thousand jobs. Unfortunately most of them are bridge fixer.

Funny, although if bridge fixer is a government job, that would be fairly accurate. So giant number for jobs net new jobs that came out on Friday, we didn't do that story for some reason. Don't know why, probably because it's good news for Biden and we try to hide it. Three hundred and three thousand net new jobs, which was more than expected, which means economy's kind of hot, which means it's unlikely that the FED is going to lower interest rates for people like me looking to buy a house or whatever, which sucks. But here's something that wasn't reported very much. One caveat to the three hundred and thirty thousand new jobs. Seventy one thousand of them were new jobs from government, so new government jobs, fantastic. And another eighty one thousand, which gets us to half, were from healthcare and social assistance, which depend heavily on government transfer payments. So in other words, half of that giant number is either straight government or pretty heavily government created. So it's just yeah, taking your taxpayer money and then creating new things that you give taxpayer money to that are needed or not. That's in the eye of the beholder. So that's that story. Time to start typing like a grown up. Get to that story coming up a little bit later.

Do I want to get this on now? How much time I got, Michael?

I have?

We got three twenty?

Okay, let me get this on real quick. This is Donald Trump a truth social post today. He has finally made his a statement, his opinion known about where he is on abortion.

It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth, and that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth, is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that. My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it. From a legal standpoint, the States will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land.

Trump doesn't get enough credit from the left for being a pretty damn good politician in terms of trying to figure out where a lot of the country is on things. He's where most of the country is on immigration, He's where most of the country is on abortion. Now, I think in having a more moderate it can still exist view. Vast majorities, pull after poll after poll for years and years and years and years, whether you like it or not, are okay with abortion existing in the first trimester. The same vast majorities are not okay after the first trimester. So he gives the harsh speech there about late term abortion and then says send it back to the States. I think it takes that issue off the table. I don't think Democrats can hammer him. They probably will, but it won't be honest and and accurate as to what is a so called extreme position is on abortion. It's not extreme at all. Lindsey Graham, one of his biggest supporters, broke with Trump on this on the News, said abortion is wrong, it is evil, it is murder, and we can't allow blue states to continue it. You might agree with that politically where Trump is the best place to get elected president, where he can appoint more federal judges that are probably going to get.

You the result you want.

Anyway, Trump's campaign says it raised fifty point five million dollars at one high dollar Florida fundraiser on Saturday night. So after the Democrats set a record a week ago or two weeks ago with Stephen Colemayer and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and twenty five million dollars, Oh my god, look at the Democrats, how popular they are. Trump raised twice that much with a bunch of big dollar billionaire people at this event Saturday night down in Florida. So Trump's still behind on the money, but he's going to have enough money to run for president.

That's not going to be an issue.

I will get to the time to start typing like an adult thing that I came across from the Wall Street Journal. If you don't know what that means, kind of interesting. Maybe you've noticed it with younger people.

Over the years.

Do I want to get into the Ukraine Israel stuff? I don't know, Man, it's pretty heavy. Maybe I'll save that for tomorrow when Joe gets back. One of the world's leading atheists said some pretty positive things about Christianity and negative things about Islam over the weekend. They got a fair amount of attention worth taking a look at, So stay tuned for all that.

Please armstrong and getdy. I don't stay real good today.

My son's staying home from the schools sick, and I don't feel so hot. I don't know if I can bird flu or eclipse fever or March madness. Could be any of those three, or a combination, or just seasonal allergies or a cold, obviously, So I'm trying to stay focused here, drinking lots of coffee, trying to stay focused. So here's some moronic college kids.

You're protecting a terrible man.

I hope you know that you're protecting a terrible.

Man and a coward, absolute coward, who is aiding and a betting a actual genocide. Thirty thousand people are being killed.

Sir, show your compassion, show your morality. Is a job worth that, sir, is a job worth that.

We're already dealing with this.

You could stand with us right now and be on the right side.

Of history, but you won't.

Shame on you, Shame on you, shame you, and you're not standing with the marginalized people of the world.

What did that make you? What that make you a coward? Cow? All right?

So what was going on there is you had these Vanderbilt students who had locked arms in the chancellor's office or something like that that you know, where the business needs to get done at a university, and we're getting out of the way, and this police officer came to remove them. Happened to be black. As you heard one of the numb nut college kids say, you're black and you're not standing with us? What does that make you a coward? You're not standing with marginalized people?

All right? Whatever?

And to Vanderbilt's credit, this is I think the only place in America where this has actually happened. They actually got those kids out of there. They didn't like them hanging out. It's like, yeah, I go, they picked them up and got him under there. But oh my god, just the tone of voice of these people. And you're like, you're at the easiest, most privileged part of your life. Most of you probably don't have jobs. You hardly go to class because there's nobody requires much of you in college anymore. And you just complain about the world in really ridiculous ways and listen to odd views from your professors and believe every thing they feed you. And I'm just so annoyed by the whole thing. I'm glad I don't work in a world where I have to deal with that, because I wouldn't be able to even mount to argument against them.

Just shut up, that's all I would just say. Just shut up.

You're twenty one, Just shut up and get go back to your room. You're twenty years old.

Shut up. That's not much of an argument. Just shut up.

But so about a second, A little more seriously on that note, a couple of things that I came across. There was a New York Times opinion piece over the weekend by a guy who stripped away the rhetorical facade on occupation, settlements, IDF and all that different sort of stuff. We're talking about Israel Hamas, that's what the college kids were talking about. If he didn't pick up on that anyway, this op ed or opinion piece essay in the New York Times, the guy pointed out that the sole goal of Palestinian society, not only Hamas, but of Palestinian society in general who elected Amas, is to erase Israel and return to nineteen forty seven.

That's their goal.

Now, it's interesting that this essay in the New York Times was making the argument that that is okay and fair and they should do that and Israel stole their land or something. But he didn't make it clear in his essay that, Look, the Palestinians want Israel to go away. That's what they want. So any sort of hostage negotiation or ceasefire isn't enough. They still have the goal of killing Jews and eliminating Jews from the planet. Okay, you either believe that or not. I believe that. And then this from the Telegraph over the weekend, only one in four British Muslims believe Jummas actually committed murder and rape in Israel. Only twenty five percent of the Muslim community in Great Britain believes Hammas committed murder and rape, and they got a lot of Muslims in Great Britain, particularly London, now that much of the population thinks this is all a lie perpetrated by.

The West somehow or whatever.

So Douglas Murray, who we really like around here, replied to that with is if I, as I have said from day one, this isn't Israel's problem Britain, it's ours. He's a Briton, So yeah, you have a problem in Great Britain. This is not a problem for Israel. This is a problem for Great Britain when a third of a growing section of your city he believes that that's all alive.

From the West.

Which leads me to this which I thought was fascinated over the weekend. Do you know who Richard Dawkins is. He's one of the he might be the well it says here in this publication that he's the world's most famous atheist. I don't know if he's the world's most famous atheist, but he's certainly in the top handful he wrote The God Delusion back in two thousand and six. Him and Christopher Hitchins would go around the world debating various religious people and talking to them about how stupid they are for believing in religion in any way, and.

How evil.

All religions are, and how they're the source of all the world's problems, all that sort of stuff. He said a couple of interesting things over the weekend, Richard Dawkins, world's most famous atheist, saying I'm a cultural Christian and this gets to the Muslim population in Great Britain, where he is from. Richard Dawkins, one of the world's most famous atheists, has declared himself to be a cultural Christian. The author of The God Delusion, a best suddenly attack on the existence of God, made his remarks in an interview which ran over the weekend, in which they discussed how the Muslim season of Ramadan was being celebrated in Oxford Street, London instead of the Christian feast of Easter. Remember how we got all upset that Joe Biden made it equally as important to mention trans Awareness Day as it was Easter. Richard Dawkins is upset that on one particular street in London, Ramadan is being celebrated, Easter is not. So what does this atheist say? Dawkins eighty three said, I do think we are culturally a Christian country. I call myself a cultural Christian.

He said.

I'm not a believer, but there is a distinction between being a believing Christian and a cultural Christian. I love hymns and Christmas carols and sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos. I feel that we are a Christian country in that sense. The author went on to say that he would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals in our beautiful parish churches. He went on to say, so, I call myself a cultural Christian and I think it would be truly dreadful if we substituted any alternative religion to Christianity. Talked about the decline in church attendants coupled with the plans to build about listen to this. They're planning to build six thousand new mosques in Britain currently six thousand and Dowkins, the leading atheist in the world, said, if I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I'd choose Christianity every single time. It seems to me to be a fundamentally decent religion in a way that I think Islam is not. The way women are treated in Christianity is not always great. It has had its problem with female vicars and female bishops. But there is an act of hostility to women which is promoted by the holy books of Islam. The Hadith I don't know what that is, and Kuran, I do know what that is, are fundamentally hostile to women and hostile to gaze, he said. He recognizes the beliefs and benefits of living in a Christian culture and living in a culturally Christian country, he said, even though he does not believe a word of the Christian faith. I find that to be fascinating. So here's a guy who doesn't believe in any of it, but thinks that the country he lives in is better for it, certainly better for it than what would replace it. A lot of the atheist crowd thinks that when Christianity or whatever other religion you're decrying goes away, it's going to be replaced by only what they would call rational thought and science, and not some other belief like climate change. Or DEI or whatever the hell else people glob onto. And here's Richard Dawkins at the end of his life, end of his career recognizing cultural Christianity is better for us than cultural Islam. That should be a bigger topic of conversation because that's a thorny one. You can't really do away with cultural Christianity without You can't do away with Christianity the way he wants to and keep the cultural Christianity. It ain't gonna work that way. You can't have it both ways. Mister Dawkins. That is a topic for some serious conversation because I think the exact same thing is true in America. I'might have to talk about this more tomorrow when Joe is here. That's that's a hell of a wrinkle and a pretty ballsy thing for that guy to say about the evils of Islam the way it is practiced by some, not all. We will finish strong next.

This is a good song.

It's not an eclipped song though, and what we need to day is an eclipse song. We got a bunch of texts throughout the show, are you guys gonna play the Eclipse song? And it was like, I was asking Hanson and Michael, is like the eclipse song? And I guess back in two thousand and seven when I went took Sam to see the full eclipse in Oregon, Uh.

Somehow this song became popular. Do we know what? We didn't know anything about it. It's just it's strange.

I don't even remember it.

Here's the eclipse song, all.

Of it.

They want to see? It's a total of all right, I do remember it. All of it.

We want to see is a totally eclipse of the song. There you go? Are there any other lyrics? There's the whole thing? Is that the whole thing?

But it gets weirder here, just hold on here it gets weirder.

Okay, cats are speaking riding tricycles.

Said just the silence with surprise. Really really want to see? Is a total said the son. Okay, that's enough from the eclipse song.

There's concerned that animals are gonna go Berzerk, our executive producer thinks the animals and the zoos will get out and join up with the domestic animals and to take over your local city. So we'll see if that happens when the full eclipse occurs. I wanted to get to this before I run out of time. I saw it in the Wall Street Journal. Time to start typing like a grown up. I need to ask Katie, who's significantly younger than me. Hold on, Oh boy, damn it got it from a cow. I won't tell you. How do you know what that means? First of all, the headline, time to start typing like a grown up? Yeah, okay, uh, And I didn't even I guess now that I think about it, my one niece does this.

She's pretty hip.

I guess people under the age of third or whatever don't use capital letters ever when they're texting. Oh.

It drives me nuts, the lack of capital letters, the lack of any punctuation in text messaging.

But so you've noticed that that the younger crowd no capital letters, No, no punctuation, right, yes.

And a lot of things that I have to google, like the acronyms that I no longer understand.

Yeah, that one is kind of hard.

What is IC?

What ICMYU?

But I didn't realize this, But many acknowledged capitalizing letters as a write of passage. But there are holdouts. It's the idea that you're kind of giving up. You're kind of like answering to the man, you're kind of like joining the rest of the world if you start putting capital letters. And maybe you're ready to embrace grown up, real jobs by putting capital letters in your text. But it's it's like giving up on your coolness.

Okay, oh, you're also edgy and different.

Shunning the shift key helps others cling to their youths, as the Wall Street Journal to them, a lowercase letter isn't just a lower case letter, it's a wait forever remain cool and casual in texts. Lowercase typing isn't laziness lexa lexicographers, somebody who studies the lexicon, I'd like to party with you, guys. It actually takes effort, since autocopitalization is generally on by default.

That's what I was wondering.

Yeah, so you have to like go to the work of going in and turning off the capital thing for the beginning of each new sentence to make sure you're always lowercase. This is one of the many ways in which people try to get their humanness to shine through cold technical interfaces by having all lower case letters and showing I'm kind of like indifferent to the whole thing, like, what time are we going to dinner?

I don't know.

Two o'clock sounds okay to me, But no capital letters because I don't care.

Boy, I've heard a lot of dumb stuff and this is up there.

Isn't it funny though, that it happened.

And I don't think anybody had a you know, just a concrete conversation about it. It just you know, when in Rome you just notice your other cool friends no letters. Your parents, your teacher, your boss, they all have capital letters.

You don't. You don't want to be your parents, your teacher, your boss. You want to be your cool friends. So no capital letters. Oh there you go.

I don't like the fact that the in the world we live in now, the cool kids don't use punctuation.

I don't like that one bed.

It is interesting, though, and according to the Wall Street Journal, if you are looking to get a job in the real world, it's time to abandon the lowercase no punctuation thing and signal to your boss that you're ready.

To grow up.

I guess yah, you end your cover letter with T T Y L.

Yeah, I'm the goat. I hadn't even picked up on this, Michael, but you capital leilers. Guy, you're you're not You're not a kid.

No, not at all. I'm not a kid at all.

I have to ask some of the young people I know, though, I remember when you kind of like start joining the adult world and have to start throwing aside your the trappings of yours. It's a little painful.

And then there are there are a few selected the workforce that send everything in all caps you guys ever.

Worked with one of those?

No, that makes you a psychotic? Doesn't it like somebody will kill you in your sleep?

I had a coworker all emails were in the subject line and they were caps lock.

You worked with Donald Trump? He's an all capital letters sort of all message, all cab the letters hilarious. How much time I guy?

Michael got about a minute?

I got a minute? What can I fit in in a minute? What's your favorite Saturday Night Live joke? We haven't played yet? I thought SNL was funny.

By the way, this was my favorite, so repeat, I'm gonna do it again.

High United Airlines flight from Germany was forced to return to the airport after the toilet broke and leaked into the cabin. So it's the perfect punishment for people who take their shoes off on planes.

I agree. And then we got that.

Then we got that video out today of another Bowling plane where the cover of the engine starts to fall apart and fly off, and people had their phones up to the.

Wind, know, videotaping in.

We got an email from somebody in aviation and said, that's not a Bowling's fault. That's a maintenance issue. Somebody didn't like put the bolts back in when they put the cover on or something. So poor Bowling, you know they're gonna get beaten up for it all day long.

It's fine thoughts, two boys, so well comments and.

Yes closer the show.

That kind of reminds me of the sea shanties that were popular for a cup of coffee a year or two ago. My son was really into the sea shandies. That's what that sounds like. Here's your host for final thoughts. Me, oh me, let's get a final thought from our What do we call you?

Michael? Technical director? Technical director Michael Angelo. How are you this morning?

Mike?
