Speaker 2: fertility and talking to women about their uteri and endometriosis
Speaker 2: and you know all kinds of stuff, you know, follicles
Speaker 2: and all of that vast deference because there's a vast
Speaker 2: difference between male and female.
Speaker 3: That's a joke.
Speaker 2: And so it was always the new girl until we
Speaker 2: had a new girl. Then it became the new girl,
Speaker 2: and I had to know. I had to find out

Speaker 3: Okay, by the way, do they never mind?
Speaker 2: I was going to go into the whole headset fiasco
Speaker 2: where everybody has their own headsets. The station will provide headsets.
Speaker 2: They buy them in bulk at eight dollars apiece, and
Speaker 2: here you go.
Speaker 3: You can have.

Speaker 2: all right, you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: We have We have some news on.
Speaker 2: This Thursday morning, May twenty ninth. Let's start with Amy
Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story. Well, the ongoing battle between
Speaker 2: President Trump and everybody else in government in the non
Speaker 2: executive branch part of government.
Speaker 3: The tariffs have been just ruled illegal or.
Speaker 2: Most of the tariffs by the federal by a federal
Speaker 2: judicial panel.
Speaker 3: And this is the Court of.
Speaker 2: International Trade, the US Court of International Trade.
Speaker 3: Which controls tariffs.
Speaker 2: And the problem has been from the beginning, how far
Speaker 2: can a president, in this case President Trump go in
Speaker 2: determining arbitrarily what he wants, who he's going to tariff,
Speaker 2: how much he's going to tariff, to what extent, how long?
Speaker 2: And the court said, you know what, there are some
Speaker 2: rules here. The president's position is that there are no rules.
Speaker 2: The president has unbridled, unfettered power to tear if anybody
Speaker 2: he wants, change it, increase it, decrease it, change it
Speaker 2: three times a week, which seems to be happening, and
Speaker 2: it's okay, we'll see if there are some guide rails here.
Speaker 2: They also allowed some of it too, because it's very
Speaker 2: specific as to how far the law allows a president
Speaker 2: to go, and it's in there in the law. He says,
Speaker 2: none of that matters. I am president, and I can
Speaker 2: do whatever the hell I want. The pardon power, for example,
Speaker 2: the pardon power is unfettered. He literally can pardon anybody.
Speaker 2: He can pardon anybody who would turn around and take
Speaker 2: top secrets and hand them to China. Not that he
Speaker 2: ever would, of course, but it's just unbridled, not so
Speaker 2: much the terriffs. So we'll talk a lot more about that. Well,
Speaker 2: seven o'clock, I'm going to talk about that.
Speaker 5: Mister Musk is ejecting from the Trump administration. CEO Elon
Speaker 5: Musk is leaving. His off boarding has begun, according to
Speaker 5: the White House. He posted on x yesterday thanking President
Speaker 5: Trump for his time as a special government employee with
Speaker 5: the Department of Government Efficiency draws to an end. He added, No,
Speaker 5: he didn't add, but somebody said that his departure would
Speaker 5: was decided at a senior staff level. But he was
Speaker 5: always scheduled to leave after one hundred and thirty days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, about to hit that.
Speaker 2: And you knew that he were going to leave as
Speaker 2: soon as he started getting more press than the president.
Speaker 2: No one gets more press than the president, So you
Speaker 2: knew he was on his way out. And what his
Speaker 2: contention is, He was there to bring the deficit down,
Speaker 2: to bring down the national debt, and this new budget
Speaker 2: that President Trump is proposing or Congress is proposing in
Speaker 2: President Trump they were having some fights about it too.
Speaker 2: Is that it's going to increase the national debt by
Speaker 2: trillions of dollars. And if you remember President Trump came
Speaker 2: into office saying I Am going to decrease the debt.
Speaker 3: Well, it's going to increase the debt.
Speaker 2: And that's and Elon Musk is not very happy about that,
Speaker 2: and it's making it known.
Speaker 4: Stew one More Health and Humans Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 4: announced just on Tuesday that his agency will no longer
Speaker 4: be recommending the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and
Speaker 4: healthy children. Issue here is now you've got doctors coming
Speaker 4: out and going, well, you know, pregnancy is one of
Speaker 4: the concerns. It's one of the mitigating circumstances that they
Speaker 4: recommend you should have the vaccine for because it can
Speaker 4: cause problems. COVID can cause problems with pregnancy if the
Speaker 4: pregnant woman should get it. So doctors are a little
Speaker 4: pissed off about this, going against the very studies that
Speaker 4: they've done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is mainstream medicine says, this is not a
Speaker 2: good decision. Pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine because
Speaker 2: if they get COVID, it can be catastrophic. And of
Speaker 2: course Robert Kennedy is not a big fan of COVID's
Speaker 2: from a vaccines from day one. Matter of fact, he
Speaker 2: has asked for testing to go on with all the
Speaker 2: vaccines because they didn't do the double blind placebo tests
Speaker 2: and he wants to go back and test everything, like
Speaker 2: the polio vaccine. Let's go back and retest the polio
Speaker 2: vaccine that came out in the fifties that has saved
Speaker 2: tens of millions of people. He said, we didn't test
Speaker 2: it enough. We have to go back and test it.
Speaker 4: You are not going to do any test in a
Speaker 4: lab that is going to do more than millions of
Speaker 4: people taking the vaccine that we took during COVID. How
Speaker 4: are you going to do a study is more than.
Speaker 2: Because the argument, the argument is the danger of that
Speaker 2: vaccine was not tested only the efficacy that it worked,
Speaker 2: not the dangers. Because we know what vaccine does, just
Speaker 2: ask Kennedy. It causes autism, It causes all kinds of problems.
Speaker 4: What causes two bdiyes too close together?
Speaker 3: Like, well, that's another one. So yeah, it's it's tough, all.
Speaker 6: Right, visas revoked. Secretary of St.
Speaker 5: Marco Rubio says the US is going to begin revoking
Speaker 5: visas for Chinese students. He said that it includes for those,
Speaker 5: in his words, with connections to the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 5: or studying in critical fields. Chinese students make up are
Speaker 5: about two hundred and seventy thousand of them in the US.
Speaker 5: That's about a quarter of all the foreign students in
Speaker 5: the US.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: On the one hand, I buy into the fact that
Speaker 2: there is tremendous amount of espionage that's being stolen from
Speaker 2: US industry, from people that work their spies that the
Speaker 2: Chinese government puts into place just to steal technology. Whether
Speaker 2: students do it or not, I don't know. And this
Speaker 2: is pretty far reaching, making it very almost impossible. And
Speaker 2: there's those are the number one group of foreign students,
Speaker 2: particularly at California. And by the way, one of the
Speaker 2: problems is, you know, they get tens of thousands of
Speaker 2: these and they can't tell the applications apart.
Speaker 3: You know, they all look exactly the same.
Speaker 5: Okay, Taco trade Trump doesn't like it. President Trump has
Speaker 5: bristled when he was asked about a New Wall Street
Speaker 5: term based on his his tendency to put trades on
Speaker 5: or tariffs on, take them off, threaten them, then say oh,
Speaker 5: hold off. He says it was a nasty question that
Speaker 5: he was asked about. A reporter asked Trump in the
Speaker 5: Oval office about what was dubbed by a Financial Times
Speaker 5: columnist as the Taco trade. It stands for Trump always
Speaker 5: chickens out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was not happy with that.
Speaker 6: Now I saw it.
Speaker 5: He was like, yeah, I haven't heard of that, and
Speaker 5: that kind of went back and fired off a few
Speaker 5: things of why he says he's not chickening.
Speaker 2: Out right, And he says, listen, yeah, I go ahead
Speaker 2: and I announce, and then I take back, and then
Speaker 2: I announce and then I change it. And its negotiation
Speaker 2: is what it is to get these people to the table,
Speaker 2: because the reason the tariffs are going into place is, frankly,
Speaker 2: our balance of trade is miserable. That we're importing many,
Speaker 2: many more products than we're selling to various countries. It's
Speaker 2: a lot more complicated than that, a lot more complicated
Speaker 2: than that. But of course life is fairly simple in
Speaker 2: the world of this administration. So he's saying, no, remember
Speaker 2: that the economy was going to explode as soon as
Speaker 2: he came into office literally day one, not quite and
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of other things, So I think inherently,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Are we hearing you now?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You gotta love that term taco.
Speaker 3: Though, I love it. I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's a lot more complicated life happens to be,
Speaker 2: especially under this stuff, under what happens with the trade
Speaker 2: and the depth sit I mean, his heart if he
Speaker 2: wills in the right place, because he wants to bring businesses,
Speaker 2: he wants to bring employment, he wants to bring factories
Speaker 2: back to the United States. I don't think anybody can
Speaker 2: argue that. But is it realistic? Yesterday I did a
Speaker 2: story on he wants Apple all iPhones made in the
Speaker 2: United States.
Speaker 3: Impossible, impossible, and he.
Speaker 2: Told Tim Cook, you either bring all of production here
Speaker 2: and or I'm hitting you with a twenty five percent
Speaker 2: tariff right now.
Speaker 3: So anyway, is it taco? Is it burrito? I don't know.
Speaker 5: Feeling hot, hot hot, get ready for several years of
Speaker 5: even more record breaking heat that will push the Earth
Speaker 5: to more deadly, fiery, uncomfortable extremes. That is from the
Speaker 5: World Meteorological Organization and the UK Meteorological Office they say
Speaker 5: there's an eighty percent chance the world will break another
Speaker 5: annual temperature record temperature record in the next five years.
Speaker 2: You know you're not hearing anymore that if we reduce
Speaker 2: the emissions, carbon emissions, fossil fuel production and burning down dramatically,
Speaker 2: it will help.
Speaker 3: It may turn around, it'll stop climate change. It won't.
Speaker 3: We've hit critical mass. We're done.
Speaker 2: It's here, and if we do nothing, if we bring
Speaker 2: it down to zero, it's still here and it's going
Speaker 2: to go on.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The only issue is how fast is it going to
Speaker 2: go at one hundred miles an hour or is it
Speaker 2: going to go at.
Speaker 3: Fifty miles an hour. So far, all of.
Speaker 2: The predictions from the climatologists, the science to study this stuff,
Speaker 2: it's moving far faster in terms of the world heating
Speaker 2: up than anticipated.
Speaker 3: That has been reported. Not good news. I've said this.
Speaker 2: I'm happy that I'm not twenty years old and about
Speaker 2: to live for the rest of my life watching what's
Speaker 2: going to happen.
Speaker 3: I do not envy my daughters. I do not envy
Speaker 3: their kids. I don't the.
Speaker 4: Earth will be fine. Just to people on it won't be.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the Earth is going to be very hot.
Speaker 4: You know, I've been through a bunch of things. It'll
Speaker 4: be fine.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be very,
Speaker 2: very tough. But you're right, will it Will it come back? Well,
Speaker 2: it came back after the dinosaurs died and the big
Speaker 2: meteor hit and after the ice age.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: But we have to live in there, or you have
Speaker 2: to live in there, because I'm not going to the
Speaker 2: Only thing is, you know, those of us are going
Speaker 2: to get buried. If you're cremated, you're gonna heat up.
Speaker 2: But if you're buried, if you're gonna get buried, you're
Speaker 2: gonna cook in the ground anyway, So enjoy. It's like
Speaker 2: one of those you know pigs that they the pork
Speaker 2: they cook in Hawaii, you know, with the stones and
Speaker 2: they put the pig in it and then they put
Speaker 2: the banana leaves on it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Really, that's what's going to happen to us if you
Speaker 2: get buried. I just thought of that.
Speaker 3: That's so, that's a world.
Speaker 4: There's a Now Now all I want is koloa pig
Speaker 4: and eggs right now. All right, Bill, you've been complaining
Speaker 4: and concerned about this as well. One of the concerns
Speaker 4: is that some of these cuts are going to hit
Speaker 4: scientific research. Sixteen states are suing Trump and his administration
Speaker 4: rather over National Science Foundation directive. They're looking at these
Speaker 4: and they're saying, this is going to gut the National
Speaker 4: Science Foundation. You know, on one side, you've got people
Speaker 4: in the Trump cap the MAGA type folks that are
Speaker 4: saying that there's not enough research on vaccines. And then
Speaker 4: on the other side they're cutting scientific research.
Speaker 2: Well, they are going to cut and they are cutting
Speaker 2: scientific research. This is not an administration that likes science,
Speaker 2: that likes research, that like scientific breakthrough.
Speaker 3: It's all about politics. It's that simple.
Speaker 2: If whoever is a proponent a supporter, gets the kudos,
Speaker 2: and if not done and it's tough. I mean, we're
Speaker 2: talking about gutting programs that actually going to save people's lives.
Speaker 2: The United States is going to come from the forefront
Speaker 2: of this kind of research, which it has been. Again
Speaker 2: I'm not an exceptionalist, but in many cases, the US
Speaker 2: is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3: As I've said many times, this is one of them.
Speaker 3: This is one of the reasons. Well that's being cut
Speaker 3: off at the knees.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, what country do you think is the best country
Speaker 4: in terms of what to live in. I don't know.
Speaker 4: It depends.
Speaker 2: It depends on what your parameters are. It depends if
Speaker 2: you're poor, any of the Scandinavian countries.
Speaker 3: If you're rich, the US is a great place to live.
Speaker 2: If you want scientific endeavors, if you like research, the
Speaker 2: United States. If you want a safety net, you go
Speaker 2: to Finland. If you want a great education, a great
Speaker 2: general education, you go to Norway. If you have kids,
Speaker 2: So it depends on where and what and what are
Speaker 2: the parameters. If you like great weather, you go to
Speaker 2: San Diego. It's the best weather in the world. And
Speaker 2: that's part of the United States. If you like guns, huh,
Speaker 2: no issue on that one. If you want a country
Speaker 2: that is neutral, where everybody is happy that they don't
Speaker 2: get into politics, they don't go into wars, you know,
Speaker 2: they're not part of all this, you go to Sweden.
Speaker 2: You don't live in Iran, which is all about terrorism.
Speaker 2: So you know why and what. You can't just say
Speaker 2: the greatest country in the world. I mean you can,
Speaker 2: but it's as it is. Life is more complicated than
Speaker 2: just black and white. Race relations not so good here.
Speaker 3: Tax if you liking if you like eating sand for dinner,
Speaker 3: you go to Yemen.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I could keep on going and going coladas
Speaker 2: and getting caught in the rain. You go to the
Speaker 2: Bahamas if you want to wear shorts and drink yourself silly.
Speaker 3: Okay, Amy, Sorry, that's okay. Uh.
Speaker 5: Taxing the rich is not flying in the House. House
Speaker 5: Republicans have rejected a push by some allys allies of
Speaker 5: Trump to include hikes on the rich in the legislation
Speaker 5: they passed last week. The measure excluded a millionaire's tax,
Speaker 5: which Trump has said he was open to, and other
Speaker 5: proposals to raise taxes on top earners. Of course, it
Speaker 5: was pitched by Stephen Bannon, the president's first term chief strategist.
Speaker 5: The Senate could make some changes to the Republicans in
Speaker 5: the House are expected to say, no, Yeah.
Speaker 2: This is interesting because this is kind intuitive. This is
Speaker 2: the president wanting to tax the rich. Everybody above four
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars is going to get taxed more, and
Speaker 2: his GOP, the GOP stalwarts. You don't tax the rich
Speaker 2: because the rich produced jobs, produced businesses, and you don't
Speaker 2: want to stop that.
Speaker 3: So President's playing a middle ground on this one. Interestingly enough, Okay.
Speaker 4: Maybe to him, he doesn't think they're rich. He's like millionaires,
Speaker 4: aren't they.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's middle class, not even middle class, lower middle class.
Speaker 6: Was his threshold. Four hundred thousand.
Speaker 5: That was a that was a Biden thresholder there was.
Speaker 5: I think it's like two and a half million, is
Speaker 5: what Trump was saying.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think the income has four
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars. I think so. You can look that up.
Speaker 3: It's a different tax.
Speaker 2: But Biden was going to cut taxes and the four
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars was going to be the threshold.
Speaker 3: I do believe that's true.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know how they have, you know, taxes for
Speaker 4: everything nowadays they're adding everything. Now going to Hawaii going
Speaker 4: to get bumped up a bit. There's going to be
Speaker 4: a fee for travelers staying in hotels, short term vacation
Speaker 4: rentals of course, and for the first time ever bill
Speaker 4: cruise ships and it will be a nightly hotel rate
Speaker 4: of three hundred bucks will be in So if you
Speaker 4: go and you're paying three hundred bucks for a room,
Speaker 4: it's going to be an extra two dollars and twenty
Speaker 4: five cents each night, which means nothing.
Speaker 2: It's just pennies, but except it adds. It's all cumulative.
Speaker 2: You go to New York, it's twelve or thirteen percent
Speaker 2: on top of everything else that you pay.
Speaker 4: This will be about eleven percent on a nightly lodging
Speaker 4: rate at this point. But this is all supposed to
Speaker 4: go to climate change. I don't know. I'm a little
Speaker 4: cynical that this is that this money ever sees those
Speaker 4: causes anymore than our streets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm a little confused if you can tell
Speaker 2: me climate change. Is that to stop climate change? Or
Speaker 2: is it to create more climate change?
Speaker 4: No, it's four projects and environmental stage type stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it? Got it?
Speaker 4: Which out of all places?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, okay, it's it's not to create
Speaker 2: more climate change.
Speaker 4: And yeah, they're actually raising a hot house. Yeah, they're
Speaker 4: giving them beans and doing what they can.
Speaker 5: Well said, we got suits and counter suits. Smokey Robinson
Speaker 5: has filed a five hundred million dollars counter lawsuit against
Speaker 5: four former employees who sued Smoky earlier this month for
Speaker 5: fifty million dollars. They say that they were sexually battered, assaulted,
Speaker 5: there was false imprivsonment involved.
Speaker 6: They say they were raped.
Speaker 5: Smokey has denied all all the accusations, and in the countersuit,
Speaker 5: he and his wife say his accusers defamed him at
Speaker 5: a press conference, they say they treated their employees as
Speaker 5: extended family, and then also provided photos and text messages
Speaker 5: of the women spending holidays and vacations with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it's not five hundred billion, gazillion
Speaker 2: trillion dollars. These lawsuits are crazy. Trump going against CBS
Speaker 2: twenty billion dollars. I mean, it's it's become kind of insane.
Speaker 2: Although if he wins, you've got four former employees, so
Speaker 2: they'll be responsible for what one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 2: million dollars each.
Speaker 3: May take them a while to pay it back.
Speaker 4: There's now at the court a smoky and non smoky
Speaker 4: Robinson's section.
Speaker 3: Oh, very good, very good, all right.
Speaker 4: Series of joint law enforcement operations launched by California Governor
Speaker 4: gav He led to more than led them to more
Speaker 4: and sixty seven hundred arrests, so nearly five thousand stolen
Speaker 4: vehicles recovered hundreds of firearms seized across San Bernardino. Get
Speaker 4: you all right, ConA, well what Bakersfield and Oakland officials
Speaker 4: announced this there with great pride. Through these partnerships, they
Speaker 4: aimed to reduce roadway violence, criminal activity in high crime areas.
Speaker 4: A lot going on in Bakersfield. Three thousand three, one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen arrests were made just there.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how they got those numbers from Bakersfield,
Speaker 2: because I don't know how they got anybody that admitted
Speaker 2: they lived in Bakersfield, much less stole cars or the
Speaker 2: victim of car theft.
Speaker 4: Bakersfield is fine.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bakersfield is a delight four one of the
Speaker 2: better cities.
Speaker 3: Okay, here it is.
Speaker 2: Remember you asked why, you know why I think America,
Speaker 2: why people think America is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3: Here's the answer. Bakersfield.
Speaker 4: Oh boy. Okay.
Speaker 2: By the way, for those of you who are listening
Speaker 2: in Bakersfield, you know, if you know, I want to
Speaker 2: tell you that I humbly apologize for do writing Bakersfield,
Speaker 2: even though every word I say is true.
Speaker 6: Okay, dude, how's your heart?
Speaker 5: Otherwise, healthy people who are smoking pot or eating gummies
Speaker 5: showed signs of early cardiovascular disease similar to tobacco smokers.
Speaker 5: It's a small study, but it and it's also the
Speaker 5: first looking at thhd's impact on vascular function in human
Speaker 5: Of course, THHC is the part of marijuana that makes
Speaker 5: you high. Prior research on mice found damage to blood
Speaker 5: vessels that supply oxygen to vital organs after exposure to
Speaker 5: marijuana smoke smoke. The guy who is leading the study
Speaker 5: said a vascular function was reduced forty two percent in
Speaker 5: marijuana smokers and fifty six percent for people eating the gun.
Speaker 4: Mike's not here, man, No, I.
Speaker 3: Have to tell you was the other way. Amy.
Speaker 2: It's if you do, you increase your chances of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3: And I don't.

Speaker 2: I see, smoking marijuana can have problems because you know
Speaker 2: all that crap going in your lungs, although you know
Speaker 2: how many people smoke twenty joints a day.
Speaker 3: But edibles that causes problems.

Speaker 2: and you're gonna die on Saturday if you eat a gummy.
Speaker 4: Well there's food that causes cardiovasca.

Speaker 2: incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3: Let's say, well it.
Speaker 2: Just some time as they do a study and they're
Speaker 2: off and they happen to pass the McDonald and somehow
Speaker 2: you connect the two. Well, not necessarily, and that's the case.
Speaker 2: So it could be you just set a lot more
Speaker 2: and that's what causes the increased fat and all.
Speaker 4: That correlation is not causation.
Speaker 3: That's correct.
Speaker 4: That okay, Forward recalls nearly one point one million vehicles.
Speaker 4: The rearview camera has some software issues causing the camera's
Speaker 4: image to like delay or skip a little bit or

Speaker 4: twenty twenty one through twenty twenty four models a year
Speaker 4: Bronco F one P fifty Beautiful Truck, the Edge and
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three through twenty twenty four Escaped. You know
Speaker 4: a lot of these, so check you want to check
Speaker 4: if you've got aford to see if you're in this category.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who doesn't rely on the rear view cameras, and
Speaker 2: it says, don't rely on the cameras. Come you know,
Speaker 2: of course you rely on the cameras because if you
Speaker 2: look back, it's all the blind spots.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, but you now with a camera, he'll check
Speaker 4: all your mirrors.
Speaker 3: I don't Why don't I just look at the camera.
Speaker 4: I know I've driven with you.

Speaker 5: The government is cracking down on the so called kira
Speaker 5: kira names that means sparkly or shiny. They don't like
Speaker 5: the sparkly shiny names for babies. New rules went into
Speaker 5: effect Monday that will limit parents from giving their babies
Speaker 5: names that are pronounced in unconventional ways.

Speaker 4: That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 2: Who someone wake up in the morning and say no,
Speaker 2: I don't like that name even though the parents want
Speaker 2: to name the kid that.
Speaker 4: Well, you did, you changed your sparkly name wolf? Well,
Speaker 4: Wolf is not a sparkly names.
Speaker 2: And that's the whole point that Japanese government is saying,
Speaker 2: is that certain names will lead to bullying. Okay, which names, Well,
Speaker 2: sparkly names, how about sparkly.
Speaker 3: Just that name?
Speaker 4: Don't you need to be cool? If if we called
Speaker 4: Kno Wolfcono, it would be like a special agent named
