I am here with Anna Navarro. I am here with Chacha and their first behind the table representation in season 30 here on the podcast. Hello, Anna. If we're going to fake enthusiasm, I'll get into the game. All right. And I am here with Brian, who just turned 50. I did. I turned 50 years old. And I was surprised on the show today. That was absolutely lovely. I was not expecting that at all. So we were able to get David Letterman to show up on your video. I should have you a video, but they couldn't get your wife. No, apparently Heather was invited to the show,
but I had to wait for a repairman of something at the house. That's what I heard. So how's 53 in you? I'm having trouble with it, to be honest with you. I really am. I mean, listen, it wasn't that long ago for you. Did you not feel like you were crossing over into something at 50? I actually cried at 40, 50. You know what? OK, this is going to get low. This is going to get sad quickly. But remember, 50 was the year my mom died. Of course. And my mom died two weeks before I turned 50. And so I remember that I was turning 50. And I was thinking of having a party. And my mom got sick. And I kept saying, no, I don't think I can have this party. I don't think I can have this party. And I remember saying to my mom, promise me you're going to make it to my 50th. And she did it. So, you know, so and your dad died. Yeah, my dad died two weeks. It's a heavy thing because you're getting to this milestone without one of your parents.
But also, Brian, can you please stop bitching about turning 50? OK, until you're dealing with vaginal dryness and hairs coming out of like your chin, I have no pity for you. Like actually, it would be nice if you had hair coming out of your chin. Yeah, I have to go a couple of weeks to get some hair coming out of my chin. Yeah, no, I can grow up. And as I like to hear it, you know, I saw this guy who plays for the Cavaliers yesterday with, I mean, that is a big garden. James Harden, who does who does? Yeah. Yes. I mean, I'm sure that what you're capable of producing out of your face is like an armpit hair. No, I mean, I can get a little stubble after a couple of weeks, but that's about it. I haven't gone for a year. I don't know. I don't know. I haven't gone for it. So here, to put about not yet, 50, it's just, you can't pretend anymore. You're definitely, you know, you're old. You're a grown-up. Your time of youthful indiscretion is over. I'm on the back nine in golf parlor. So it's unlikely I've got more time ahead of me than behind. So I don't know. People are living to be 100 plus years old.
Yeah, yeah. But today was lovely and everyone was so nice and whoopie was very nice. And the idea that David Letterman took time out of his life in general. And John Legend, the serenaded you. And apparently there's a longer version where John Legend talks about how I'm really good at fantasy football, which I am. And we did our draft last night. So that was very meaningful. Are you still in the general legend league? It just started again, yes. So that's it. Yeah. So and Darius Rutgers in it and other luminaries. It's very close. And then you say, I'm the name dropper. Hello. I know. I know. But nobody cares when I do it. But it ain't so I'm so grateful. And Robin Hummel, who runs our Hot Topics team and is the executive broadcast producer, the view put that together all for me. And that was very, very sweet. OK, fine. Enough about you. Enough about me. Let's get to some hot topics. All right. So Trump hit the stage in Dallas last night for the GOP midterm convention. This is a new thing that he's created. First off, what did you think about the idea of a convention? Because at one point, the Democrats were going to do one, too. You know, I had to watch some of it.
I didn't listen to it, but I watched it. I was watching it on mute because I had to comment on CNN about it later at night. And I kept thinking to myself, oh my god, I shaved my legs for this. It just sounded so and looked so insane. Tim Scott looked like he had five of those five hour energy drinks. Then Donald Trump gets on. And this thing is endless. It's like a mini fiddle Castro speech. You know how a fiddle Castro would give speeches. They would last seven hours. Donald Trump spoke through like three different CNN hour programs. You know, he began on one and ended. I thought, I'm not even sure he's ended. Has it ended? Has he stopped? I was watching football. I don't know. Well, look, number one, it told me that Donald Trump is going to have a really hard time getting off the stage and getting the spotlight off squarely him and himself
and I. It's all about Donald Trump. I saw several instances of, on the things he said, the clips that I saw where I thought this would make a great ad for Democrats. When he says, I'm on the ballot, OK, I'm on the ballot. OK, you think Mike Rogers and Michigan running for the Senate wants that in an ad? You think Susan Collins running in a tight race and main wants that in an ad? And so I think we're going to see more of that. What did you think about the promise for the $5,000 in dividends if they're Republicans? He went back to the same playbook over and over again, the culture war. The stuff about transgender and this and that. OK, it worked for him in 2016. It worked for him in 2024. And he's going back to it. But I don't think people are as worried about it as they were. It was effective in 2024. This check thing, I can't tell you how many interviews, men on the street interviews I saw in 2024 of young men
in particular talking about the Trump checks. Remember those checks? That word had his name on them. Where he signed. So I think he's trying to bring back that idea. But didn't he promise $2,000? He promised $2,000 in dividends from the tariffs and they never happened. As far as I know, the only person who's gotten a check from Trump is Stormy Daniels and now Natalie Harf. Well, I think that might have been cash. But yeah, look, I think it's... I don't... first, I don't think people buy it. I think people see it as... I mean, it's a lot of money for people. And the idea of getting $5,000 is meaningful if they believe it. But he already promised a $2,000 check that hasn't materialized. So why would they believe this? I mean, you know, this is... When Oprah offered you a car, the car would show up. When Trump offers you a check, the check never comes. It's, you know, the check is in the mail. And he's... You know, what's ironic? You know who does this type of thing?
Communists. Communists when Chavez was running for... for re-election in Venezuela or Maduro running for re-election in Venezuela, they would, you know, hand out money, hand out gifts and things before an election, particularly to the poor people to try to, you know, in a way by those votes. A lot of times they ended up losing regardless, not accepting the election results. It's the kind of thing that Ortega does in Icaragua that Maduro did in Venezuela. And I, you know, also this idea of Democrats as communists and socialists. I think we're going to hear this over and over and over again. And for me, it was so ironic because I'm thinking to myself, okay, there's Trump standing up, promising $5,000 checks like the communists do. And attacking Democrats as communists and socialists. At the same time that he just made a deal with Delsey Rodriguez,
who is Nicolas Maduro's vice president, who he has left in power in Venezuela. He, the entire remnants of the Maduro regime are still in power and being legitimized through Donald Trump and through this 100 year deal. And I, you know, and I'm thinking, this guy's in bed with actual communists, whether it's in North Korea or Venezuela, and he's up there on a stage making this an entire thing. You know, communists, you know, the Democrats are communists, Democrats are communists. And then, you know, there was the Federman thing. I don't even know what to make of the Federman thing. I do tell Democrats that they should stop calling him a traitor and all of those things because they need him, right? It'd be a hell of a thing if Democrats wind up losing the Senate and then lose, and then lose power, lose the majority because Federman decides to become a Republican
next year. So they need him to stay what he is. I think he's going to have a reckoning if he runs again. I'm sure he's going to have a primary. And I think he would lose a Democratic primary. I, you know, he put out a statement saying he would stay a Democrat. I think he owes it to the people who voted for him as a Democrat. That's right. Yeah. To stay. And if he wants to change when he runs for reelection, he should. But he should be, you know, transparent because there's a lot of people who vote not for the candidate. They vote for the party. The party they want in power. Right. I know there are a few stories that happen over the break. Oh my God. But you know, though, so I was not in the country for the entire time. I was away for 47 days. This is the longest I have been out of the country since I did a semester abroad in college. But I would watch, I would, I would, and I didn't watch any news because,
frankly, I wasn't getting CNN or Fox or any of that on the boat or anywhere that I was. But I did read the headlines. I would wake up in the morning, do a word, or do the New York Times crossword puzzle, connections and read the stories of the day. So that's how I consumed news during the break. And most of those stories were so horrible. I, you know, by then I put down the iPad and go swim. How do you keep up with news when you're on vacation? You know, I don't really get to unplug in the same way. I try to a little bit, but being part of ABC news, I'm on their distribution list. So I actually get a lot of emails there and really social media. I spend a lot of time looking at social media. I still, even when we're on vacation, I do. I very rarely, I have trouble unplugging even when I want to, but I do think I need to know what's going on. I, what I don't do is I don't watch a lot of cable news. I, it's mostly on my phone.
I'm seeing headlines. I'm clicking headlines. I'm getting breaking news alerts and kind of staying abreast of everything. I also really love podcasts. I have to say ABC news has an incredible podcast called Start Here. And if you like the view, listen to start here in the morning because a lot of times that will have an impact on what we're talking about because sometimes there's a story. Well, I don't really see an angle on that. I don't think that's that interesting. And then I'll listen to that and I'll come to the hot topics meeting and I'll say, we got to talk about this. This is great stuff. They do a really good job with that. Today I want to tell you about an exciting new deal from our friends at cozy earth.

Everyone's getting their own signature segments is what we're going to do. And so for you, we've come up with something a new series. We call Anna Navarro couldn't care less because this is something you say to me often when I'm pitching you stories in the morning, you say I could not
care less about this. So I'm going to read a list of big stories that happened in the last month to get your reaction and see if Anna Navarro can care less. All right. Harry and Megan moving back to the United Kingdom. Oh, for the love of God. I'm so bored with those two. I don't know who boards me more. Harry and Megan or what's the what's the Beckham kid Brooklyn and what's her name? I can't remember Brooklyn. Nicholas something. Is it Brooklyn? Yeah. I can't. Done with those. OK. Done with them. How about the meeting between Jared Kushner and he came Jeffries. That was outrageous and stupid, a stupid mistake by he came Jeffries who I like, who I respect, who I think is a decent and good person and will be the next leader when Democrats win, but it was ridiculous. First of all, practically in every democratic primary voters and Democrats are showing that they want people who fight back. Right. You've got all of these establishment Democrats losing against more left wing
Democrats because people want somebody that's going to fight back. And so if you've got that happening all around you, then what in the hell are you doing meeting with Jared Kushner, who is an unelected, trust fund, NEPO baby that has profited here to the tools of billions of dollars off of his father-in-law's presidency. And then Hakeem Jeffries puts out a video wearing the most unfortunate shade of green I have ever seen. And in that video, he says that the meeting that Jared Kushner called him for a meeting and that he took the meeting because the meeting was about affordability. Okay. Having a meeting about affordability with a trust fund baby who got two billion dollars from the Saudis and lives in billionaire bunker in Miami and is running around the world with Steve Whit cough making money as they try to play diplomats me having a meeting with Jared Kushner about affordability is like
having a meeting with me about I don't know running a marathon. All right. So what we determined here is Harry and Megan, you couldn't care less. This he cares about. I thought it was stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid, unnecessary, unforced error, as they say in sports parlance listen to me. Let's keep going Dakota Johnson and singer role model broke up. Got no idea who these people are. Could not care less. Is this Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths? Yes, it is. Okay. All right. See you're on the verge of caring. Is this 50 shades of gray? Okay. That's her. I don't know who the person she was dating was and I don't care that they should they broke up. All right. Natalie Harp. I think you care about. Honestly, what I look is it a real story or not a real story? Yeah, it's a real story that somebody that's such a that's so that's somebody that's such a sick of famed to the you know, I mean, I did read the letter she wrote that was leaked. That was like, you know, boiling the bunny type stuff. It was kind of scary. It was strange and weird. So having somebody like that next to the president of the United States. Yeah, it's not a good combination.
Could Anna Navarra care less about Harry Styles, starting his residency at MSG? I don't even know this was happening until I want to see an end last night and two of the bookers asked me if I could get them tickets. No, there you go. Oh, speaking of which, uh, Gracie Abrams is going to be on, uh, SNL. So maybe you can, uh, when in October, I think we'll talk about. I think I wonder on the show is really what I want. But okay, it was a birthday this week. Oh, see, I didn't know. Um, all right, keep it going. Uh, could Anna Navarra care less about Trump's adventure in the catering cart? I thought that was kind of funny. Yeah, it was pretty good. I mean, I honestly, I mean, I thought the entire story was kind of funny. Mm-hmm. Him, you know, getting into a catering cart. Uh, first, what size was this catering cart? I need to know the dimensions here because I want to know just how tightly fitted inside this catering cart he was. But also the fact that he left his trusted staff in the decoy plane that was under like, uh, what's been deemed as a legitimate security threat.
Yeah. By the Iranians. Yeah, you know, he left Carolyn in love, but he took not only harp with him in the, was she in the, in the car? Uh, I don't know. I think she might have been. I think there was talk of that. And it also pressed was left on the, on the plane. Yeah, you know, go ahead, you know, kill them. Do cares, you know, I'll escape in the catering cart. And the fact that it was a complete ruse on the press. Yeah, it was, yeah, I, I mean, I, I thought it was funny, but I also thought it was, um, you know, the aspects of it that are very troublesome. All right. Um, two more here we got. Uh, does Anna Navarro, could she care less about the current state of the reflecting pool in Washington DC? You know, I actually think this reflecting pool story is a big one. Yeah. Uh, and I, you know, in the beginning of the summer, we read that Jeanine Piro, who was, we know, is another psycho fan who, you know, I mean, this is a woman who really has a master's degree on sucking up to Trump. Friend of the show, Jeanine Piro. Okay. Whatever. Um, she ain't no friend of mine.
Uh, but we read that she had dropped charges against this Olympian, who they dragged into court, uh, and maligned all over the place saying that he had vandalized the reflecting pool. And then we read that Donald Trump was so pissed at Jeanine Piro for dropping the charges and admitting in court filings that this was not vandalism, that it was shoddy work by the contractor, the pool contractor, that Trump was so upset at that, that he was thinking of firing her. And we heard that, you know, he had a meeting with the secretary of the interior, who was going along with all of the insane musings of Trump about the vandalism, and Jeanine Piro went in there and, you know, pled her case, but the idea that these folks, um, the secretary, Bergen, the secretary of the interior that, you know, would go along with this assa nine, uh, you know, narrative of Trump's that somebody cut like a 300 foot
slash into the center of the reflecting pool. The, you know, it's like, I do think it's a big story because it tells you just the level of yes, men and women that he is surrounded by now in this second term that are too afraid to tell the emperor he has no clothes on and that what he is saying is deranged and alive. And that go along with it to the point of starting legal action against regular Americans just completely fabricated and made up. Yeah. So I do find the reflecting pool story to be very, very big, um, because it, it tells you a lot about this administration and the people he's surrounded himself with. All right. Now for the big one, could Anna Navarro care less about this, the new Spider-Man movie, brand new day, opened on July 31st, and it's now the third biggest theatrical release of all time. Spider-Man.
Nothing. I got nothing on that one. I've never seen a spider man. I've never seen a spider man. Not any of the spider man. I've never seen it. Not Andrew Garfield, not Tom Holland. What, there's more than one spider man. There's been three spider men over years. It's like a, it's like 007. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, this is like, this is Sondaya's a husband. Husband, husband, you're right. This is the ninth spider man movie. And he's not been spider man all along. No, he's only been spider man for the last four. You know what I did see though? The guy who plays whatever it was, Loki. Yes, Tom Hiddleston. I saw him on TV this week. He was promoting, I don't know what I think he's on Broadway. He is. And I ran into a Disney PR person on the elevator yesterday or the day before here in the building. And I said, oh, she was, you know, she was talking about charging. And we started talking about this. And I said, you know, you really need, I said, I just saw Tom Hiddleston on whatever,
wherever he was. I think he was on Morning Joe. Then you really have to get him on the show for Brian, who's like, you know, a superfan. And she said she thought it was going to happen. Oh, good. I'm glad it's going to happen. So, I mean, in addition to me being a superfan, he's in one of the, you know, the biggest movies of all time. I actually have here a list of the top 10 highest grossing movies of all time. And I'm curious how many of them you've seen. You got a second for this? Go ahead. Number one is Avatar. Have you seen Avatar? I saw Avatar one. I don't see Avatar. Sorry. That's good. That's number one. Number two Avengers Endgame. No. It's phenomenal. Very good. Number three Spider-Man brand new day. We just covered you've not seen. Number four Avatar two. We've covered you've not seen. Number five seems to be a typo to me, guys. I do not think that's actually accurate. What is it? It says Nezah, too. There's no way that's. Nezah? Oh, it's worldwide. This is not just America. This is worldwide. I don't know Nezah, too. I've not seen this one either. Number six Titanic. Yeah, I saw that one. You did see Titanic. In a movie theater.
Look at you. Because Avatar I saw in a plane. Yeah, I figured most of these are your plane movies. Number seven Star Wars Episode Seven, The Force Awakens. I haven't seen a single Star Wars. No, actually I did. One Christmas. I'll drag me to see one where Diego Luna is. I don't know what it's called. Oh, Rogue One. It's excellent. All right. Avengers Infinity Wars. I haven't seen a single Avengers thing. That's ridiculous. I don't know for Disney. Number nine, Another Spider-Man movie, No Way Home. Are these really the top 10 movies? Worldwide of all time. And number 10, Zootopia 2. I haven't seen that either. Okay, so you've not seen any of these movies. Not a single one. And in a far, I can not care less. I saw Avatar in Titanic. I saw Avatar in Titanic. We got to up your pop culture IQ a little bit. I know, but a lot of these are, what is it called? Superhero stuff. I don't like sci-fi. How do you know you don't like superhero stuff? Well, I did like Superman when I was a kid. Did you watch Iron Man? No. Robert Danny Jr., I think you'd like it. I like Robert Danny Jr., but I don't like it. I mean, I just, I mean, I...
Is Robert Danny Jr. being Robert Danny Jr. You know what I was surprised I liked? What? I care nothing, nothing, nothing about space. And whenever you pitch those stories, I'm like, oh God, please. I know. What be loves those stories? She does. I've never watched Star Trek. I've never watched Star Wars. I've never watched any of that stuff. I could care less about the planets. I'm not even sure. I could name all the planets. Are they... How many planets are there? Eight or nine? Pluto went away and it came back. It's all wrong. So how many? I think it's nine. Okay. I love the solar eclipse. Oh, that's right. That's part of your vacation. It was extraordinary. What experience that was. I don't know. What came over me last year and I must have been drunk when I decided to schedule... What are the odds? When I decided to schedule a vacation around this solar eclipse so that I would be off the coast of Spain where it was going to be 100% totality solar eclipse that it was...
I would be able to see 100% of it. You didn't stare at it. It was... Well, no, I had the little glasses. The little glasses. It was incredible. I want to do it again. How long did it last? The actual eclipse lasted probably a couple of minutes. Yeah. The glasses of it. Yes. Where the sun starts to get covered. That whole thing was like a couple of hours and... I watched it off the coast of Valencia, Spain and it was also at the same time as sunset. I mean, it was just extraordinary. That's great. So there's one next year in Spain and... So you're going back? He's like, oh God. Because I need another excuse to go back to Spain. Exactly. Why I have to go with the eclipse. If I had a nickel. All right. Before we go, I heard you have some interesting paternity news. Yes. This was incredible. Okay. Tell me what happened. So, it's like she knows we're talking about her. Chacha knows we're talking about her.
I posted a picture of Chacha on my Instagram. I think it was Chacha on a boat. And then I see somebody reply and it says, my daughter living her best life. And I go and look and it's an Instagram account for Punch the Poodle. Punch the Poodle is Chacha's biological father. Whoa. Hold on. Looks just like her. Okay. By the way, it's now living in New Jersey. We might have to get Punch the Poodle in. Well, see, this happens a lot with big stars because you see this happening with sports stars and with singers. And people like, you know, they're maybe the family's not around, dad's not around. Then they get a lot of success and suddenly they come knocking. And I think that's what's happening. Once the Chacha cam started and they could see Chacha full, Punch comes out of hiding. I think we should get Punch and Chacha to both sit there and see how I want to see what their traits are. Apparently, Punch like Chacha hates the water.
Okay. Uh, which is one of my biggest frustrations in life. I would love for Chacha to be in the water. You know, I'm in the water. I mean, I was gone 47 days. I was physically in the water, probably about 30 of those days. Um, and 17 of those days I was driving around Spain being a complete manist to humanity. Sure. I am still getting, I'm still getting tickets from my time in Spain. The, the Renacar company is emailing me, uh, tickets that I'm, you know, that they're charging me for. You're going to be barred from returning as well. I didn't realize I was really impressed with the roads in Spain. Uh, they're in really good quality. And I didn't see a single, a single, what's it called? Highway patrola. There was nobody I kept thinking, oh my God. This is so great. This must be like Germany, the Audubon where there's, you know, no, it's just, and also it's like, it's like, kilometers versus miles. Yeah, I don't know. Well, you know, I'm just going. I have no idea what you're always blaming the language. It's a language thing. It's a, it was a translation thing.
And, um, and I guess they have radars or something. Yeah, they're watching. They're watching. How many, give me a round number? How many, how much money in fines did you, uh, the fines are not that much. Okay. So like the fines are like 25 euro. Mm hmm. I'm, I'm, I'm about 250. That's what I was wondering. All right. Some of our, but yeah, but, but I mean, you're scofflaw now. But I, there's all, I also think I went, um, I went against the, uh, the, you know, a lot of these were one way streets. Because what was really scary? Have you ever driven in Europe? I, I always never do actually. I've been to Europe a bunch of times and I always just take taxis or call an Uber. You've never driven in Europe. No. Okay. Well, I rented, uh, now I know why these Europeans are usually in these tiny little cars. Sure. Um, and it's because the streets are tiny little streets and some of these old, I mean, these are streets meant for horses, not meant for our sighties. Right. Four doors had done. Uh, so this was not, uh, this was, yeah, it's, it's a miracle I returned that car with four wheels and, um,
and just a couple of little things. All right. Well, keep my eyes open for the, uh, Gestapo to come and take you away. Um, all right. Thank you for joining me today, Anna Navarro. Thank you for joining me today. I kept telling you that I wanted to move that I want. Yeah. I stopped responding to you. Every, every five, 10 minutes, I don't think I'm coming back. I love Spain too much. I can't leave. But don't you? Okay. Let me ask you this. Like when you're in Italy, do you find yourself looking at real estate? I mean, I can't afford to live there because I have to make my money here. But yes, I, I don't know that that's true. No. I mean, I see, I see so many people. Yes, a lot of them are rich, but also a lot of them are not. The purchases are better there. I will say that and leave and start life and decide that the quality of life is, is better than you and I did. I, I mean, I just think, you know, the food is better. Yeah. And what I said better, I mean, that it tastes better, but there's just less preservatives. Sure. I saw just, I think it's a better place to get older. Yeah, you know, there's such an epidemic of loneliness, particularly for the elderly here.
And over there, I just see so much socialization. People being sociable into the older years, moving, more swimming, going up and down. And I, and I see people who picked up and left and just moved and I wonder, what does it take to do that? Like Rosie O'Donnell did it, right? Ivalongoria has, you know, bought a place in Spain and spending a lot of time there. But also, like when I go to Costa Rica, my, my pickleball coach, right? He doesn't have Rosie money or Eva money. And he picked up his family during COVID and moved in as now an expat in Costa Rica. What, what would it take to actually do that? You never, you never fantasize about that? When I'm there, I do. When I'm on vacation, I always fantasize about staying in that place and living there. But I, you know, I got to be close to my family. I got to be close to, honey, you would go with your family. Yeah, but I mean, when you fantasizing about moving somewhere, ideally it would be with your wife and children.
No, them, yes. It's not, I'm talking about fantasizing about moving with your entire family. I have time running away from home. I can't even go to LA. I feel like I need to be in New York. I don't know. It's just tough for me. All right. We'll discuss this some more, but I understand the urge. You cannot believe the farmhouses I can get in the countryside of Spain for 300 euro, 300,000. I was going to say 300 euro, man. All right. Thank you for joining me today, Anna Navarro. We have an all new view tomorrow. We'll be reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9 11. Oh, God. And yeah, it's just unbelievable. It's been 25 years. What were you? I was working in Midtown, Manhattan. I was working for a TV show. David Letterman? No, it was the Montele Williams show. This was a long time ago. You worked for Montele Williams? I did. How the hell do I just know this now? I don't know. I did. You worked for Montele Williams? I did. Yeah. How long? It was my first internship in college when I was 17 or 18. And I did it for four years after I graduated. Was he, is this before or after he dated Kamala? I was going.
Oh, yeah. I was that bad. You worked for Montele Williams while he was dating Kamala? Yes. I did. I feel like we need to talk about this. We'll discuss. Okay. And then also tomorrow we have Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones. And then came a throw in something you watched? Are you a Stark? This is very exciting. I never understood what was happening. That show was very dark and by dark, I mean, like, physically dark. And I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. Also, Brian, I have to end with this. I'm very disappointed and upset. What can I do for you? Because I listened to your podcast with Joy Bayhara. Yes. And apparently you have a running list of that you've actually written down of insults. Mm-hmm. And I thought for sure I'd make the con it. Yeah. And I'm shocked to learn that only Joy and your wife and- And one ex-girlfriend. And an ex-girlfriend or on it. Well, you didn't get it. I mean, how many times have I told you that your suits are ill-fitting? Yeah, many times. Yeah. You've gotten some new ones. I'm very proud of you. Thank you. I think it gives you something to strive for, which is good.
You can try to, by the end of the season, say something that makes the list. And, yeah. What is it? What is it that makes the list? I, again, I told Joy this morning what it was. And she's reeling. But, yeah. You know, it's got to hit a certain nerve and she got in there. So I got to think about it late at night. And you haven't gotten me there yet. So you mean that instead of calling HR, you just leave it in a list? I leave it in my list and I plan my revenge. All right. That's all the time we have. We've got another show to do. Bye. Bye. I will be back here on the podcast Monday with Sunny Hauston. We got a lot to talk about with her. Because they didn't, haven't you told them? Didn't we'll be promised to come in? We'll be, is coming on the podcast. We're just working on the day. It'll be very soon. OK. All right. Let's go. Bye. Bye. This episode is brought to you by Chat GPT.
