When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.

You lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
Dogs is nothing but a cover-up.
Like it's a scam.
Let me save myself some money while also enriching myself at the same time.
It was a complete sham.
Today you're gonna follow Jesus.
And by 10 o'clock, I still want to follow Jesus, but I also want to slap the hell out of somebody.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.

So uh don't go anywhere.
In the meantime, I'm here.

Uh you know there's a Linda podcast now, right?
Yes.
Where do we hear that?
Um also iHeart.
Oh my god, it's on iHeart.
I know.
It's crazy.
All right.
Well, uh, both our podcasts you can hear.
Uh, and of course we'll take uh your calls.
We got a lot to talk about.
We'll get to P. Diddy.
Uh we'll get to uh uh little Mayor Pete.
We'll get to uh lots to talk about.
Uh we got millions of things to get with now uh Sean is uh I'm trying to follow this trip.
He was in uh Riyadh the first day, and then uh I kind of lose track.
He was in uh Abu Babu or Dabu Habu or where I can't keep track.
Doha, I can't keep track of all these cities.
I did see uh Wow What was the Sex in the City movie where they go to uh uh Sex in the City, the movie number two.
Number two, where they go to uh Abu Dhabi, wherever they were able to go in the room.
They're in the middle of the desert, and then they climb into like this little like cave, and there's all of these women who were, you know, five minutes prior wearing burkas, and then they're all wearing Chanel in this reading, you know, Vanity Fair, you know, behind closed doors.
So uh when you go over to the, you know, like Qatar and all these are brand new countries.
They were formed like in the 80s, so everything is brand new.
It's like Las Vegas times a hundred million.
You get uh you're gonna stay at the Marriott.
So you figure, well.
Oh actually, the it's owned by Marriott.
It's the Ritz Carlton.
You figure, well, it's gonna look like that Riz Carlton over there on 59th Street.
Three blocks from here.
It's got wood, beautiful wood paneled uh you think look like that.
You walk into the Ritz Carlton over there.
It looks like the Palace of Versailles times a million.
It's like marble staircase, like you've never seen miles long.
It's unbelievable.
Did you see what the president said when he walked into the palace in Qatar?
No.
He goes, it's a nice house.
It's like, oh my God.
But I've actually talked to some billionaires who live in the greatest houses in America, 300 million dollar houses, and they say they hate to go over there because when they walk into those things, they feel like a pauper.
They feel poor.
They feel like their house is like a shack compared to that.
So uh and I thought that was wonderful.
The uh fighter jet escort.
Uh the Campbells I could live without the uh camel parade.
I don't know, that wasn't so exciting.
But uh it's against camels.
It's not uh, you know, they were like beautiful horses, that's one thing.
But a camel, they say they say it's like a horse designed by a committee.
It doesn't look right.
Listen, have you ever seen Hump Day, the commercial, the best commercial ever made?
Mike, my mic.
Best commercial ever, bro.
What does it feature?
And why is it the great commercial?
Because Campbell's looks silly.
That's funny.
Nothing sillier than a candle.
Uh anyway, uh so but it was a very, very, very productive trip.
A lot happened.
Looks like a trillion or dollars is coming back to the U.S. as a result of this.
A lot of agreements made.
The president did a couple of what were described as historic speeches.
Now, I'm mentioning this because if you watch CNN or MSNBC, you never heard about it.
You didn't know anything about it.
They wouldn't show it to you.
If you read the New York Times, uh they didn't even mention it, but really powerful speeches, great substance on policy, and uh just brilliant stuff.
Now, if this were Joe Biden, uh uh the trip would have been over in an hour and be coming home on a stretcher, and this would never have happened.
It's uh the contrast is unbelievable.
You know, I talked to these White House correspondents.
They don't like this administration because they said for four years, you got to your desk, you watch TV, you have some coffee, you talk to everybody, you hang out, and about one o'clock you had to go in the briefing room for 20 minutes and listen to a briefing.
Then you go back to your cubicle, your desk, you hang out, you go back to the cafeteria.
It was a great life.
Now with the president, this administration, every five minutes, news is breaking, things are happening, things are getting signed, meetings, you're working all day.
They're running around.
That cup of coffee is still sitting on their desk from nine o'clock.
They can't get back to it till five o'clock.
It's uh nobody's ever seen a White House like this.
This is gonna be uh literally 30 years of stuff done in four years, maybe more, maybe fifty years of stuff, transforming America.
Unbelievable.
Now, when he's done, so much will have happened.
And a guy like Pete Budajet shows up and tries to run, a guy who did nothing, nothing for for four years, just sat around trying to figure out what TV show could I get on today.
What photo could I pose for?
Whole air traffic control system will be transformed, and then they'll just look at this guy and say, You were there four years.
You didn't even notice there was a problem with it.
You didn't even mention it, you never saw it.
Most famous Pete Butter Judge moment.
Are you ready?
Pete Buddha judge claims that he loves the environment, that he rides a bike to work every day.
So then they follow Pete Buttig one day, coming from his home to the office.
Except that he takes a black SUV.
Actually it was a couple black SUVs.
Yeah, you're right.
Excuse me.
And uh makes sure he gets that nice carbon imprint, right?
Then gets out of his car, hops on his bike so that he can get the photo wop from all his friends on the left.
He actually faked showing up on his bike from and this is how bad.
With the helmet, bro.
I mean, he went all in.
Well, you have to look like a total nerd.
You have to wear that helmet on the club.
100%.
He actually stopped the SUVs like a block and a half, two blocks from the White House, and then rode.
He couldn't do it 20 blocks from the White House.
He couldn't do it five blocks of the white.
It's pretty funny.
He's the most used in his defense.
Yeah.
It's not really the safest city.
Probably best to just do it right next to the White House.
Yeah, that's why he had the helmet, not for the bike, but for the muggers.
That's what that was all about.
So uh I don't know how you're gonna who else is there?
There's a Pete Buddha judge.
He's really, really dying to run.
Fritzker.
Fritzker.
This is If you don't know who we're talking about, we're talking about that big fat Ralph Cramden looking guy.
That big guy.
We we call him Toilet Bowl Pritzker.
Yeah.
That fat slob is gonna run.
Oh my God.
Oh, he's just the most awful guy.
You remember when he spoke at the convention and he attacked he first he came up because now you can hear from a real billionaire.
Well, this is a guy with one billion dollars.
Trump, according to Forbes, and Forbes can't stand him.
Even they put him at seven billion.
So to me, the seven billion is a real billionaire.
One billion, you just barely made it.
And uh obviously uh his food budget must be tremendous.
So I don't know how long that billion is gonna last.
And also, if you're gonna run based on the incredible job you did on Illinois, good luck with that.
So forget him.
Who else?
You got this Westmore, who's kind of a charming guy, but Oh, yeah.
What about Newsom?
Well, people that know Newsom really well say he's not really gonna run.
He's obviously campaigning for something, but apparently his family doesn't want him to run.
His kids are very upset.
His wife does not want him to run.
She's all wrapped up in some daughters shady stuff.
It's made it really clear she wants out of the spotlight.
But I so he's auditioning for something with these podcasts, and he's a moderate.
Maybe it's L'Oreal Hair gel for men.
I think he could already do it.
He'd be really good in those commercials.
He could already do that.
I think he's a I think he wants a major, major television job.
And uh the problem with Newsom, he's like Andrew Cuomo.
They look great on the campaign trail.
Wow, what a speech.
But Newsom and Cuomo, same thing.
They're salesmen.
They are not managers.
They're great salesmen.
They can't manage.
You see that in the business world all the time, where a guy rises up and all of a sudden he's the CEO, but he's really just a salesman.
He can't run the place.
So that's Cuomo.
That's Newsom.
Uh Cuomo, when he became governor in New York, what a salesman.
The briefings, wow, it's powerful.
Meantime, any time he had to make a decision, stupidest decisions.
He's the guy that pushed this no bail, no jail, caused the crime wave.
He's the guy that closed the prisons, let everybody out.
He's the guy that took away the qualified immunity for the cops.
They had no legal protection.
That's why we can't hire any cops right now.
He's the guy that closed Indian Point.
That's 25% of our electricity.
He's the guy that picked Kathy Hogan and said she'll be good.
I could go on, but it's only a three-hour show.
I could list every bad decision he made.
And same thing with Newsom.
You saw San Francisco when he got there, and then when he left.
Some bad, bad decisions.
We'll get to uh hey, uh this Jake Tapper book.
I want to urge everybody not to buy the book.
I'll tell you why.
There's about six great things in there.
You've read these big revelations in the book.
I could tell them to you right now, but I'm telling you, I've seen the book.
That's it.
It's just these six things.
There's nothing else in the book.
And when you hear the things, you go, wow, I'd like to read more about that.
Well, there isn't more about it.
So if you know the six things, you don't need the book.
One, uh he didn't recognize cabinet members.
Uh Anthony Blinken said a couple of times.
He came in the room and Biden didn't know who he was.
Uh and then two, sometimes uh longtime staff members would come in, he wouldn't know who they were.
Uh three got to the George Clooney event, and he didn't know who George Clooney was.
And if you heard George Clooney talk about you can tell what an ego this guy is.
He can't believe somebody Wait, did you see the George Clooney thing with the fan in New York?
Which did you talk about this where he won't shake hands?
Oh.
Clearly, he's one of these germophobes.
I don't know if it's that.
You know, he puts on these disguises.
He looks like he's 110.
Yeah, by the way, if you see Clooney in person, he's about uh 55% as good looking as he looks on TV.
It's not quite but he's playing an older man, Edward R. Murrow, so he's dyed his hair dark and he's uh he looks older now.
But um he thinks he's the master of disguise because he's walking around New York while he's here on Broadway, and he puts on a hat and glasses, and he thinks nobody could possibly know it's him.
I know this because I see it.
There's a guy on Instagram who follows him around.
Everybody spots him.
Those celebrities spotting Instagrams, uh, put him up there all the time.
You know, he he thinks it's like Clark Kent.
You put on glasses, they won't know you're Superman.
So it's clearly, but um, that's in the book.
Oh, the other thing is uh, and we if you listen to my show, you would have known this a couple years ago.
So we had a lot of top doctors who'd looked at the video of Biden, and they said he's got a problem with his gait.
He can't, he needs a walker.
He's a guy that must be on a walker.
So it comes out in the book that the White House doctor was not only saying that, he said a wheelchair.
He said a walker wouldn't be enough.
He'll need a wheelchair.
Uh, but obviously for optics, they wouldn't let him do it.
And there was a meeting where they said if he's re-elected, then we'll go to the wheelchair.
Uh so that's basically it.
That's you don't need to buy the Jake Tapper book.
I just gave you everything in the book.
Now, the fascinating thing is it's all about this cover-up.
And nowhere in 600 pages does Jake Depper ever mention that he was a part of the cover.
If he had any decency, there'd be at least three sentences somewhere.
I have to admit, by the way, that I didn't uh spot it.
Uh just lies.
I didn't see it.
I didn't.
But I listen, we all saw it.
Jake Tapper covered it up.
Uh Chuck Todd covered it up.
Hey, you have that uh on CNN, Casey Hunt and Chuck Todd.
All of a sudden, I don't know, they're acting like somebody injected them with truth serum.
All of a sudden they know about it.
Chuck Todd's trying to come clean.
Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?
Casey, we're looking forward.
We have the largest Medicaid caught in front of us Chuck Schumer.
You're facing all of this because you lost a presidential election.
And is that not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again?
We're looking forward.
That's it.
That's it.
Schumer, ducking the question.
He is among the people that are responsible for this.
The leaders of the Democratic Party, the staff of the White House, and I have to say, I find everybody now talking to these authors.
Get out of here.
Go home.
You're part of the problem.
Now you tell us.
So I I just, and I find, you know, the reason why the Democratic Party has less credibility today.
Here's an unpopular president, and the Democratic Party has a worse rating than the Republican Party with this catastrophic governance that we've seen over the last 120 days.
And yet, why is the Democratic Party in worse shape?
Because of this distrust.
What a phony baloney.
You gotta give the guy credit for just a hood spot.
I tell you, man, they just you know what they do?
They're counting on people, just not remembering.
Just moving right along.
We're with you.
Okay.
Well, he is smart.
He went on CNN.
That way nobody sees this.
This is true.
But I love I love that Schumer at the beginning when he's asked about it.
Look, we're moving forward.
I'm looking forward.
So you try that tomorrow.
If you get called into the boss's office, I hear you are three hours late.
Look, I'm looking forward.
I'm not talking about this.
Let's get past this.
Well, the cop pulls you over.
You know, you just went through a red light.
I'm looking forward.
I'm not talking about that.
So try that excuse.
It never works.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy Theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Mayfock from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, as Mark Simone here for uh Sean Hannity.
I'm a little uh stuffy today, aren't I?
That's actually uh I just came from uh I went to a doctor.
I'd never been to this doctor before.
You know, it's so annoying to go to a doctor now.
Used to be a call up, uh, how about two o'clock?
Okay, I'll come at two o'clock.
Now, you make the appointment.
I get 14 texts that day.
Your appointment is at 2 o'clock.
Plus uh press yes, type this.
Then I start hearing from them all day and night for three days.
Fill out this form, uh, photocopy your insurance card, all this.
Then you I'm supposed to go there.
Uh your appointment is at 2 o'clock.
Click yes.
Uh then I'm on my way there.
Your appointment is in 15 minutes.
Now I go there and uh I'm leaving.
I leave his office.
Guy was great.
I didn't even get to the elevator.
I got a text, complete this survey.
How was your visit?
What?
You gotta stop with all that stuff.
Your doctor was on time.
Yeah.
That that you should count yourself lucky.
Normally you get those 18,000 texts for you to be on time, then you wait an hour.
Oh, well, okay, that's true.
Well, but sometimes this was okay, this doctor, but you know, sometimes it's something you don't want to do.
He was like, Oh, Mark Simone's coming, we're gonna stick tubes up his nose.
Let's get to it.
Oh my god, so I told Well, I told him I had to go because I gotta fill in for Sean Hannity.
Now you can say that to a doctor because there's some people who go, Sean Hannity, you know, some crazy MSNBC.
If it's a doctor, they love Sean Hannity.
They're conservatives.
Why?
They have dealt with government regulation and nonsense like nobody else on this earth.
So they're all uh conservatives.
They're all Hannity listeners, and we're glad to have you with us.

Hey, uh, we'll get to uh P. Diddy coming up.
You can't watch the trial because unfortunately, here in New York, they don't allow cameras in the courtroom.
If it's California, they televise trials.
That's why we all saw the OJ trial, the Robert Blake trial, uh, what else?
All the others.
Uh it's I was talking to Ethan about this because I didn't know that you weren't allowed to have cameras in the courtroom in New York.
And I was like, we had to suffer through this stupid, you know, Johnny Depp, Amber Hurley.
Oh, yeah, that's another one.
California.
And nobody gave a rip about, but these two idiot liberals sitting around talking about nonsense.
And I was like, you know what?
I actually want to see what happened with P. Diddy and who all the people are that went to these parties and did all the the diddying.
I would like to know.
Well, it's pretty ugly.
If we had cameras allowed in the New York courtrooms, you'd have you could see the Weinstein trial.
You could have seen the Trump trial.
Uh you could have said there wasn't much of a trial, but uh Diddy Um apparently the judge uh uh reprimanded his lawyers today.
They were going at this woman way too hard today.
The uh story is pretty uh, you know, cut and dry, but they're trying to, you know, smear her, destroy her character, catch her in a lie, so they were really badgering her today.
Now, uh should I explain how all this works with these guys?
Sure.
Uh if you become a huge superstar, zillionaire, big star, especially in the music business, there are thousands and thousands of women that just line up.
And what happens is when they're 22 or 20, it's like they just go nuts.
They sleep with uh one after the other all day and night.
It just never stops.
But I don't think that's what's happening here.
Well, wait, let me explain.
Oh, good.
Uh like if you're the Beatles when they came to America, you might have been watching as a little kid say, Oh, that's terrible.
They can't leave the hotel.
They're stuck up in the hotel room because all the mobs outside.
Don't worry about it.
There were like a hundred and fifty women in the hotel suite at all times.
There was a guy that worked for Brian Epstein who told me I said, Well, what did you do?
All he said, I spent every day bringing a doctor back to this 'cause one of them or two of them had some disease and uh the doctor would cure and I had to bring the doctor back every day.
Wow.
That story took a turn.
This is what this is.
Well, if I may, I think the audience would uh you would it would serve them well to know that you are a bit of a musical historian.
Yes, and I've uh been around all that stuff.
So what happens is after clarify that a little bit that not that's a slippery slope for you, huh?
No, but every if I thought it was only P. Diddy who liked baby oil.
It doesn't get weird.
Well, no, no, it doesn't it takes two directions eventually.
So after you've had a million women, uh take the Beatles, for instance.
If you're Paul McCartney or John Lennon, it's enough.
You had enough, you're not even interested anymore.
So you get married, you settle down, you won't that's forever.
Now there's another group that they don't give it up, they keep going.
But after about 20 million times, you gotta have something else.
So now this is what happened with Diddy.
I could name a lot of other people, but uh uh I better not.
Uh it becomes now I need two women at once, three women at once.
Now I need uh twenty people, now I need guys and girls.
Now I need to videotape it.
Now I need uh uh devices, things, uh costumes.
Yeah, so it just come to you for you know you're like my Dean Martin official, but here you are, you're good for a freak off info as well.
Well, okay, let's go back to the rat pack because we that we can talk about because they're all dead.
But uh right.
Wow.
Again, strange turn.
Okay, keep it.
Okay, Dean Martin, it was always women, one after the other after the other after the other, but quick.
Uh Sinatra lost interest after a while when he got to a certain yeah, it didn't make it had enough, that's it.
Uh there was a guy in the rat pack named Peter Lawford.
This was one of those guys.
So he got he had to crank it up every couple of years.
Then it was three women, then it was eight women, then it was uh men and women, then it was uh chickens anything.
Wow, okay.
I think the difference between P. Diddy and what you're talking about are willing participants.
What Cassie Ventura is talking about.
Please that's the argument.
So now you get nuts, and I want to videotape all of this.
I want uh he's directing it like he's Spielberg.
More baby oil, more of this.
This is coming out in the goats.
More goats.
So um now average guy listening is saying, What?
You know, he wants to have fool around with the wife one night and she goes, I'm tired, forget it, I'm tired.
That's it.
You're done.
Now, if you're P. Diddy said, uh get over there, there's gonna be 42 people, and we're gonna videotape it, uh, more baby oil.
This guy's gonna run the lights.
And you women do this stuff.
It's I mean, and it works the other way too, I guess, if you're a big female star.
But the here's the problem here.
This is as sick as it sounds, as awful as it sounds, this is not illegal.
There's no crime there.
So that's the problem they're having in the court going after this guy.
You've got to prove that he held somebody against their will, uh, kidnapped them, uh threaten them.
That's now they've had a problem so far because that has not come out clearly yet.
So what has come out so far?
So the New York Post and USA Today are both doing a running track of what is being said in the courtroom.
To your point, no camera, so we don't know actually, you know, we're reading it.
And I think, this is my opinion, that they did, you know, they're doing these these transcripts.
I don't know how many people are following along.
Who knows, right?
But they're stating all of the people that they brought in, and then they would say that he was a new employee.
He was an intern.
She was doing filing.
This person was the, you know, administrative whatever.
Turns out none of them are doing anything in the office except taking off their clothes and they're being forced to participate in things that they never signed up for.
And they're being trafficked, which is a huge offense and would give him a life sentence.
But yeah, now hopefully this will all come out and they'll get the uh you know, transparency on everything, but so far they haven't been able to really get the crime.
Now you've seen that video where he beats that woman in uh It's Cassie Ventura.
Yeah, in the hallway of the hotel.
She's trying to get away.
He punches her, he knocks her down, and then I mean, all of a sudden he's like Christopher Maltasante.
He's like kicking her on the ground and uh uh now I don't know why they haven't charged him with that yet.
Maybe I guess because it's in that was in California.
It's also part of this.
So that video is shown in court quite a few times.
Yeah, so it's just to show that he is violent, that he does hold people against their will.
The problem is they gotta really clearly prove this.
Not the so far, and he's got uh jury of eight men and four women.
The thinking is that the men will be more sympathetic, but I don't think so.
And uh not if they have daughters.
No, and uh so far, uh they've got the basically for the first few days it's all text.
They're showing all the different text.
And in some of the texts, she seems like she's disgusted by it, but many of the texts she seems like uh she's a participant, willing participant.
So they're together eleven years and he dated her when she was a teenager.
She turned twenty-one under his helm.
So, you know, it's definitely some weird stuff going on.
I mean, he's fifty-five years old.
Weird.
Yeah, man.
Weird.
If you got uh cameramen and lighting guys in your bedroom, you're definitely weird.
So uh it's gonna be a I I I mean, if I had a guess, I'd say this guy never, ever, ever gets out of jail again for the rest of his life.
But so far, maybe they're just starting slowly.
They haven't really gotten uh nailed down the illegal stuff, but uh he is one sick guy.
Now uh again, all this disgusting stuff he's doing, it's that's not the crime.
So they're gonna have to get to the other part.
But uh it's not a crime to be gross.
No.
No.
Otherwise, I'm just I'm editing myself here.
I'm uh there's certain names we could mention, but uh a lot of celebrities that'd be in jail right now if this this stuff was a crime.
But uh hey, even uh I mean I'm trying to think what stories I could like even at the Grammys, there's certain guys that are big music stars that come in the Grammys, and they're gonna bring with them like twenty women to uh just take care of them all day long, and the Grammys is forced to employ them.
They're told you gotta put them on the payroll.
Same idea, be on the payroll.
So uh one producer said, So uh what how do I put on the you call them dancers, put them down as dancers.
So if you look at the books, there's like 40 dancers on the payroll.
If you watch the show, you didn't see anybody dancing.
There were there were no dancers on the show.
Just for union.
Like a solo piano.
It's so weird.
Yeah.
Um But we'll get we'll get to that.
We'll get back to uh P. Diddy.
It's absolutely awful.
And uh hey, you know what name you haven't heard in a week and a half.
You know who just vanished off the uh news?
You haven't heard this guy's name.
Garcia.
You remember for weeks, this is all they cared about is g Garcia, that's the MS 13 wife beater gang member who was sent to El Salvador, every one of these CNN, MSNBC, all these politicians, they were gonna fight.
Well, they've moved on to the next criminal.
They they're at the Laney Hall.
They've they got like five or six of them there.
They're like, Oh, we're going for a bigger one.
But they said this to this Garcia case is the most important thing, and on principle, they're gonna fight to the death to bring this guy back.
Well, apparently they looked at the polling and the focus groups.
It wasn't registering, so they forgot about the you'll never hear the music.
Like moving on, enjoy Sakat.
Never mind.
Yeah.
Uh if you're a Garcia of the family, hire a PR person.
Get yourself back in the news.
Maybe, maybe they'll pay attention to you again.
So uh let's take some calls.
Let's go to uh Janet in California.
Janet, how you doing?
Thank you.
So going back to your opening uh block where you were talking about the state of Joe Biden being non-compassmentus and Chuck Todd and um Jake Kapper, and I was saying that nobody has asked the Easter Bunny when he knew, what he knew and when he knew it.
Oh, yeah.
Remember that with the Easter Bunny where I totally confused Biden and the bunny almost slapped.
Wake up.
What's wrong with you?
It was Trump in a costume, bro.
Yeah.
So good point, Janet.
Where are you in California?
Orange County.
Oh, okay.
It's pretty good there, right?
It's not as bad as those other parts of it.
It's purple.
So yeah, I just think I've watched so many newscasts and listen to podcasts, and they always bring up these other people.
And I'm thinking the obvious one was when the Easter bunny had to pull them away from the press.
Yeah.
No, that's a good point.
Do you listen to my podcast?
I'm sorry, I haven't.
You'll listen to Linda's podcast.
I know.
Actually, I just said I'm listening to the show today, and I heard your opening remarks, and I just thought, why doesn't somebody bring up the Easter Bunny?
Oh, okay.
But of course, why don't you listen to our podcast?
I heard the Easter Bunny has a podcast.
Yeah, okay.
Everybody has a podcast.
Thanks for calling, Janet.
It's really annoying.
Everybody has a podcast.
Everybody does a podcast.

They're in the real estate world, whatever.
Did you hear my podcast?
No, I didn't.
You gotta listen.
Everybody loves it.
I said, you mean your 12 friends you sent it to them?
They love it.
So they never notice uh, you know, uh I could actually tell you how many downloads I had last year.
It was 10 million.
Linda just Oh my god, really?
Yeah, well, how many you probably are got a million already?
You just started, but uh they don't notice they got 13 downloads.
Next week they got 12, next week eleven.
And it was just their friends.
But uh listen, if you help just one person with what you have to say, it counts.
Not these women.
They're not they're not helping anybody.
Did you hear my podcast?
No, I didn't.
