Hit The Road Jack

of you, which I really appreciate. I really like celebrating birthdays. I just don't. After a certain age, you don't want to be reminded you you're still here. I mean, it's nice to still be here. You don't want to know or remember or shed light on the fact that you're just fucking old man. Like I remember my first wedding seeing my aunts and uncles from Brooklyn there. They weren't sixty three, like they were younger than me. I can't believe I'm there. I look different I acted from than

they did. It was a different generation, but still it's so weird. So this morning, I'm getting my steps in. There's a park. Like I said across the street, I'm getting very friendly with ravens. Had about no Joe, thirty of them around me today as I tossed out pistachio nuts and peanuts, and They're getting closer and closer to me, and I'll feed them by hand one day soon, you know, it's am I becoming the old lady who throws out seeds for the pigeons in New York City. Like is

that I'm becoming. I don't know. I just feel like the older I get, the more I want to be in touch with animals, the more I want to see them happy that I shut up or hear their whistles and calls. I don't know. I know like there's a thing about men as they get older, they want to head toward the water. They want to head toward the ocean or the bay. There's something inherent in men, I guess, particularly with people who grew up on Long Island like myself.

We want to be near water. Water's life. I don't know. There's no water at the park. I go to outside of a puddle here and there, But today it was seventy four and Sunny Perfect just like my book Perfect seventy four, and Sonny and I purposely through these ravens possassion. I still have the shell on them. And I watched them go to work. Oh man, that presented no problem for them. But then I had a problem. I said, let me walk to the weed store about a mile

and a half away. They get me some gummies because I just lately, I've been not I've been up till two thirty three o'clock. It's I can't stand this. And I take the tunnel, all the Advil pms, the Odyprofen pms, I do all that. I take Mellowtone, and I drink a late night tea, you know, sleepy time tea. So I'm doing everything I can. But the last few nights, I'm just not getting to bed, and I'm not even staring at my phone. I can't blame my phone. Last night,

I midstakes for the kids. They were very happy. We hung out last night and watched some TV. We're gonna go to the movies tonight on my birthday to see I think it's called Sinister. We took a vote. We don't really care about seeing Mission Impossible. I understand. I love Tom Cruise. He is the movie star of our generation. But I don't know. I don't want to spend three hours plus previews. You know, there's only one showing out here in Burdbank. So no, we'll go see Sinister. It'll

be kind of scary, that's funny. We'll grab some sushi or tempora right across the way from the movie theater over in burd Bank. It sounds like a perfect thing. So I'm walking to the weed shop and my license expires today June second, right, twenty twenty five. So I walk into the weed shop. You got to give me your license. They're like, oh, oh, I know, hun, my license expired today, but today's not over. It's still June second until eleven fifty nine pm. Then it's June third.

So I'm still good the whole day. No, but our computer says, you know you're not good? Yeah, but do you understand like time, like, do you understand it expires on June second, but June's second is not done? No, I'm sorry, I said, Look, ain't your fault? Can I talk to somebody? And then some black security guard who probably dropped out of school sixteen comes over. Yeah, no, man,

we can't help you. Man, all right, goodbye. And this being Los Angeles, I walked about, I don't know, two hundred yards to the next weed shop and the guy's like, yeah, cool, go get what you want. I just wanted twenty five dollar gummans to go to sleep. That's it. They had no problem doing it. It's all in who you meet, right, It's weird. It's weird. But I say, these kids nowadays are abusing marijuana. I know, we act like it's no big deal. And then there are people who say it's

a gateway drug. I don't really believe it's a gateway drug, but I definitely believe that it gets you started into doing things that you know are taboo, without a doubt. I mean, in my day, it wasn't I didn't really like marijuana. I didn't smoke it much. Maybe in a

party I took a hit. In my day was girls like you know, I've told you many times, let's go to the city and chat up the It was a very bold thing to do when you're sixteen, seventeen years old to drive into Manhattan late at night and see them coming at you and negotiate with them while they pull gold chains off your neck or God forbid you figure out a price with one of them. And happened to my buddy. His pants are down around his ankles and she's doing her thing. He doesn't know this because

he's seventeen years old. He's out of his mind, and her hands are in the back pocket, pulls out his wallet and begins to rifle through it without him knowing, and takes cash out of his wallet, and not until he got back in the car and headed home, he's like, wait a minute, but everything's all askew. What happened. What happened is you were out of your mind, your eyeballs were rolling back of your head, and she went behind your back and took your cash. Yeah, it was a

different world, very different world. Speaking of sex, I'm hearing that Lori Harvey, Steve Harvey's very beautiful daughter who's dated so many people, including Michael B. Jordan. Uh. My source says there's a sex tape you know, of her making the rounds. I don't know. I have a looked trip, but my source tells me it's out there and they're trying to fucking block it, and Steve Harvey's trying to spend a lot of money trying to block it. We'll

see what happens. Last night, Sunday night, I was in the middle of scrolling to find different TV stations, right, and I have Spectrum TV. I don't even know what the main network. We have this thing called Zuomo x u. M oh, don't ask me what the hell it means. I have no idea. All I know is when I go to shows that I could get for free, I see, I love Lucy Beverly Hillbilly. I'm not why that shit. I don't know what I don't know what I mean. I have Max, I have all the channels and streamers,

but this TV. Who needs to see old Lucille ball shows? What are they doing? So Zuomo twelve oh one am. My screen turns pink and across the screen and said, Pride Universal. I can't take that. We're a minute and a half into June and they're already talking about pride having pride. I swear to God, I want to grow my hair out, light it on fire, and jump out fucking window. There's no reason for this, but there it is. And I said, explore our permanent collection of lgbt Q.

I a storytelling and enterdem Fuck you. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see I just think it's wrong that gay people can have that kind of effect on corporations. Black people could have the same effect on I've been told by my TV to watch these other black movies. Ridiculous. Do you ever see something that appears on your TV screen about watching movies with white people in them? Which I think would be ridiculous. I'm just saying, well, why isn't that available but the

other ones are available? It doesn't make sense. But here's what I'm happy about. This being Pride month. A lot of American corporations are, like, you know, they're backpedaling. They don't want to be involved in gay Pride events this year. And it helps that Trump is in office because he's rolled back the whole diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense that

swept the country and made so many people dopes. But there have been a lot of reports lately that or organizes of a major gay Pride parade and all these festivals across America they don't they can't find the money. There's scrambling to find the funds from all these longtime corporate sponsors who used to back their LGBTQ events, but

it's not happening like it used to happen. Somebody who's involved in this bullshit said, we're seeing major companies in meaningful numbers either eliminating or modifying their DEI programs, which certainly does include sponsoring LGBTQ plus Pride events and so on. I think really the bottom line here is that there's just a risend and awareness on the part of executives that this promotion of these pride events runs such a meaningful risk of being perceived as pushing transgender ideology on

parents exactly. And I'm happy that many corporations have finally woken the fuck up to the reality that it's a very big risk for them to do this. So thank god there's some you know, there's some corporate sponsors who backed out of big time Pride events, which makes me sick that gays get a whole month. It's just no reason for it. There's no reason for it. I just

you know, Biden, Joe Biden was the main guy. Biden led this massive push to embed DEI programs across the federal government and these agencies when he was around in twenty twenty three, he had a video that talked about it, and Trump did the right thing and you know, criticized them, talked about his stupid, woke ideology and how much it pervades the federal government. And then Pam Bondi's boke up. Pam Bondi, who I want to like. I want to

like her, but she's not doing enough just yet. She is now spearheading an effort to overturn the Biden era DEI programs at the Department of Justice and make sure Donald Trump's ideas and plans get executed. I just you know, you talk about gay pride events and LGBTQ related activities, and they're all part of this bullshit DEI landscape, a landscape that ruined many many organizations, people places. I mean

what they did. You talk about the pendulum swinging too far to one side, Well, it did, and now it's swinging back our way and it might go too far right. You know, I'm just saying that's the way pendulums go. But right now I don't want to hear about it. But you think about it. In the United States of America, we celebrate Mother's Day. We just celebrate mothers one day a year, fathers get one day a year, veterans get

one day a year. The birth of the country and the birth of Jesus Christ are celebrated on one day. There's no heterosexual celebration. There's no heterosection day of celebration for being straight. No, no, don't you dare say that. But if you're lesbian, if you're gay, if you're bisexual, pan sexual, transgender, if you fuck your car or the cushions on your couch, you get a month because it's just special. And many NFL teams we're following that ludicrous idea.

But the good news is, just as gay Pride was, you know, kicking off on June first, the majority of NFL teams decided, you know what, we're not really gonna celebrate gay pride and gay love and all that comes to it on social media. And the NFL has what thirty seven million followers and change, and that's gonna make a big debt. I don't mind breast cancer awareness that wear pink socks, pink gloves, what have you. Good celebrate people who are going through breast cancer. I'm all for it.

I don't need to celebrate clears for a month. I don't. Here's the good news. Maybe one of your teams said no. The teams that said no to celebrating gay pride are the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Way to Go, Ohio, Indianapolis Colts, the Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the defending NFL Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles all said no, we're not doing it now. It's only the first few

days of June. They might turn over another leaf in a few days, but right now, as of now, they decided we're not doing the shit, and I thank them and you should too. There's no there's just no reason for this to be this lengthy thirty fucking days and it always ends up being a parade in New Europe or San Francisco or West Hollywood where men are going down on each other publicly. There are children that these idiots bring two parades and watch men walk down the

street naked with their genitals out. It's just it's it's soda bing Gomora shit. Kids don't need to see that. There was a very famous death in the family the last few days. I didn't get a chance to talk better. But Eddie Gale Ed Gale, who played Chucky in the Child's Play film series, died sixty one years old. He was living in a hospice for all and now he's dead. And his knee said it's with a very heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin. Okay, she's making a joke. Whatever.

Then we announced the sudden passage of our uncle. Ed Gail has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife. And she looked back on his career in Hollywood. This guy made one hundred and thirty movies and TV shows and commercials. With this wide ranging body of work, he leaves behind legacy full of questionable lightning and amazing one liners. Ed's favorite role was that of the fun uncle. Oh h oh, you shouldn't say that the fun uncle is be careful. I'll get to more

of that in a bit. She said. His love language was sharing his love of the entertainment industry, of the magic of Hollywood with his nieces. He had one hell of a laugh. She said, He's gonna be as rest in love, you cranky bastard. Okay, I like the fact that this family is having fun with the fact that they had a cranky uncle who you know, made a name for himself in those movies. But Eddie Yale was born with dwarfism r up in Michigan. Is believed to

be a first cousin of Selena Gomez. I'm kidding. He is the first cousin of Benny Blanco. Kidding again, but all three of them have dwarfism in their face. You can see it. I'm all the way. And let's not forget the picture of Selena hugging her girlfriend and to her left was a black table with two big lines of cocaine on it, because everybody in Hollywood is taking cocaine. Oh Zepi's not good enough. Let's do some blow too. I really want to lose twenty pounds. She's not a

girl scout. She's got a dwarf in her family. And it just might be Eddie Gale for all we know. But if you remember Eddie Gale, his debut was in the movie Howard the Duck. Why is that important? Well, years later he played Child's Play. He played Chucky and Chiles Play, the first movie in that popular horror franchise, Chris Sarand and Catherine Hicks, a lot of people you don't even know their names because it was such a

low budget horror flick. But then he played the serial doll killer again, and Child's played too, and finally in nineteen ninety eight's Pride of Chucky, and that's where Jennifer Tilly comes in. She plays on high stakes poker and the last well this season, which she'll see season fifteen, she takes a beating and she loses hundreds of thousands of dollars and when she's leaving the table, it was kind of tough to watch this because she's so funny

at poker. She always analyzes the hand and tries to figure out why she's wrong, and oh, it's tough to watch. But she just said last time we taped, I'm just gonna go back to make Chucky movies. I have a life, I have a career, I don't need to gamble. I'm just gonna make more Chucky movies. It's kind of sad to see. I mean, she was being she was speaking in jest, but maybe not so much in jest, you know, But wait, this guy's death gets better the more we

delve into it, which newspapers don't tend to do. Back in twenty twenty three, he was under investigation by the LAPD because he admitted to a group called the Creep Catchers Unit C SeeU Creep Catchers Unit that he attempted to solicit sex multiple miners. Have you gone on Instagram? Do you follow these guys on Instagram who who find pedophiles and shout their name, put their pictures online and

smack them, kick them in the face. I mean, there's a few of these channels on Instagram where people just have no time for men, older men, younger men to meet these underage kids being boy or girl at a park, at a restaurant, under an overpass. It's disgusting. And these guys show up, whether it's Creep Captures UN or some other unit, they show up and they have fun with the guys. They don't bloody them, but they punch them, They stick them around, they knock them around. I don't

know if that's gonna be enough to stop them. They swear they'll stop, but they won't stop. It's such a compulsion. Unless you kill them, they're gonna keep going. And by the way, as I said, the other day. You guys have the wrong idea. Pedophiles aren't hunt in prisons like we always thought they were. They used to be. There was a time when if you were a pedophile and you went to prison, every inmate knew it in gen pop and they were ready for you. And God help you.

The day you finally say I gotta take a showers for sixteen days, well they're gonna watch you and they're gonna take care of you. But that's over now. Now pedophiles are actually protected in prison. Yeah. Yeah, they made a whole new slew rules, what they can do, what you can't do. It's disgusting. They're protecting these people, these creeps, these fucking weirdos. You know, they're calling them minor attracted persons. They're giving them a nice name. It sounds innocent. It's

anything but innocent. When a fifty five year old man shows up with popcorn and a box of condoms and a bottle of some fucking boonze farm wine, some ugly, disgusting sugary wine. Oh no, I just wanted to be No, no, I just he wanted a company. Smack. Hey, oh what are you doing to me? I have I have the text I know what you were doing. No, I wasn't gonna do that. I was gonna help it. Oh good, keep it going. I want to be involved in that.

Hire me anyhow. Ednie Gale the Dwarf at one point had his smartphone seized by authorities because they went to his house and took it. He wasn't officially charged, but he was still under investigation at the time of his death. But here's the scariest part. You ready, I never thought there was a human being inside Chucky. I thought Chucky was a doll, didn't you. I'm embarrassed to say this. I thought Chucky was a doll that was controlled by computers and what have you. I did not know there

was a person in that doll. Now, I want to go back and watch the movies again. It's scary now, But let's investigate and talk about who also was in the movie Howard the Duck, because back then he was caught on camera admitting to sexually explicit conversations with miners, and one included a conversation he had with somebody with the Creepcatcher unit who was posing as a fourteen year old boy, and they showed him the footage that was

right there. Gail fifty nine years old, confessing to exchanging lude messages with multiple miners, more than ten of them were underage. He detailed the sex acts he intended to perform with this decoy, who he thought was a fourteen year old boy, and they asked him, did you talk sexually to a minor online? Yes or no? Yes? He said, that's a felony. Yes, I know, And there were screenshots taken that show him writing, I want to hold yours while you go peepe you little. It's disgusting. I don't

even want to say the rest. Do you like the taste of come? This is how he's speaking to a fourteen year old boy. He thought it was a fourteen year old boy. When the person asked him about using a condom, he said, no, I like to go raw with lube. Nice guy. You'll never see Chucky again in the same light. His neighbors thought he was creepy. His neighbors said, I'm not surprised. I always see random men coming in and out of his apartment. So why don't you make a call? Why do you notify it official?

Why do you let it happen? But here's why The Howard the Duck movie is important to understand because Jeffrey Jones was also in that he was in Beetlejuice Ferris Bueller's Day Off Remember, and that both of them coast Arred and Howard de Duck. And also because they're so close in what they like and dislike in the world. Eddie Gale once hosted Jeffrey Jones for Thanksgiving dinner before he got busted for his twenty two child pornography case. That would be Jeffrey Jones, not Eddie Gale. But why

didn't the LAPD put handcuffs on Gail? Oh? I heard he had health issues. Yeah, he's not healthy. He can't put the cuffs on of it. He's just not a healthy human being. So they go to his apartment after the SEC unit alerted them, police grab evidence that printouts of the chats and electronic devices. No arrests were made. They actually said they couldn't make an arrest on the spot because of his health condition. Is that really a thing? I don't care if your fucking eyeballs will fall in

out of the head. If you're trying to bang a little boy or girl, you gotta make an arrest. You've got to bring him into the station and put them in the back of your patrol called what the fuck are we? What are we doing here? Oh he's sick, we can't arrest him. Yeah, he's sick in the head let me uh oh, I didn't get to say this. Well, I'll circle back for that later, but I want to say one thing before I sign off. I had an issue yesterday with a couple of women on the page.

I'm not going to say their names because they act like they don't give a fuck, and they're just act so tough that I don't want anything to do with them. I want them all They're going to be off the page and out of my life because the Facebook podcast that sess page is mine and hours and I don't want creepy, fucking people on there who don't know what they're talking about, who end up making fun of me, which is stupid.

quit or fired by New York City tabloids. She went to work for the Daily Mail. She got a lot of contact, she says a lot of things, written a lot of articles. But I also know something about her that I didn't want to say. But all I said was, yeah, she's a good journalist. You can look it up. It's there. And these two idiots are going off together, and then I get involved, saying, I guess AJ's but hurt because how popular Marine Callahan is. U assholes. I never begrudge

anybody more money, more work, more good fortune. I never do that to anybody. I got good karma on my side. However, I do know some things Marine Callahan did that weren't good and don't make her the greatest journalist in the world. She wrote a book about the Kennedys, all right, and there's been about, I don't know, eleven hundred books about the Kennedys. Most of the women who write these books wish they could have fucked a Kennedy man. I'm just

telling you the truth. They get succumbed by camelot. They get drawn in by Camelot, and they want to be a part of it, but doesn't want to party you, so instead you go in and side out, and you write a book about the men in the Kennedy klan. And I don't care what you said about Jack and Bobby or Robert Kennedy Junior. But I don't like what she said about John Kennedy Junior because he's a friend of mine, was a friend of mine who I knew very well, and the thing she said about him really

pissed me off. Now I didn't put that down in the Facebook page. I just said she's a decent journalists. Good for her. I just AJ's butt her because say, hey, shut the fuck, I'm not butt hurting about anything. Oh, this one woman is such a bit. She's gone for good. I know. They say they've been with the podcast of such pages in twenty eighteen. I don't give a shit. Go somewhere else. I don't want you here. I've said this many times. I don't need hecklers, especially when you're heckling.

Was something that makes no fucking sense. It's my birthday. I shouldn't make it, and it's fucking angry, but I do. She said wrong shit about John I mean, she goes into detail about how Jackie Kennedy and how she was gas lit and Robert Kennedy would expose himself and want to have more women in the bedroom. Okay, it's not sourced out. I don't know who these sources are. She does quote a psychiatrist at one point. Otherwise she's just quoting people she says she spoke to. That's a pretty

risky thing to do. And she talked about Robert Kennedy's wife Mary finding his diaries where he lifted all of his flings from one to one hundred and one to ten. I understand all that. I get it. The guy loved poon tang and he put it down on paper, which is stupid. But you cannot knock every Kennedy man, but Marie Callyan thinks she can because I don't know why she. I guess she spent enough time. I'm talking to people who are off the record. Their names are on printing

in the book. I don't think you guys understand how that feels. I've been written about many times, but there's always been a person attached to the quote. When they write about you and there's no person attached, its just called a source. Your fucking blood boils, your hair stands on end because you know what is going on. Why don't I know this? Hold on? I'm getting a text? Well, what are you text for right now? Jesus Christ? Uh? Okay? Anyway,

So I don't want to. I'm not gonna make a huge deal out of it, but for fuck's sake, when somebody gets something wrong about a friend of mine, that I feel a certain way about that person, and you know, she got John Kennedy Junior wrong. She also falls in John John in the book. He never ever went by that term. He hated that term. But she would know that because she never got close enough to anybody who

knew him. He was the world's most eligible bachelor. He found Carolyn Besset and of course Marie Callahan writes about jarring ups and downs. She was underweight and anxious all the time, using antidepressants and cocaine that's not attached to any source. She felt John was arrogant and thoughtless, and he was reckless up close. There was a time Carolyn and John got pulled over on the Massachusetts Turnpike. The car reeking with the smell of pots a star struck cup,

letting them go without even a warning. See, these two women will never know the fact that if you're a good person and the cops recognize you, they will let you go with a warning. These two idiots will never get a warning. They'll just drink and drive and a copall pull them over and they'll be in jail, posted a ten thousand dollars bail. That's who they are there, still on the page. Can't stand people like this. I

don't need this fucking shit. I am not in any way, shape or form but hurt behind Marten Callahan getting mentioned or going on Megan Kelly or starting her own podcast. Everybody's got a podcast now for Fox ex except for these two assholes. Everybody's got one. Is she the best columnist writer in the world? No, not by a long shot, but she got a lot of things wrong about John,

and that pisses me off. John did not file a flight plan and cut off all communications with air traffic control tonight that the plane went down into the ocean. She knows what happened inside that plane. Nobody can know what happened inside that plane. Unless you were friends with John and Carolyn, as I was, then you could maybe surmise, but at best it's like maybe you know ten, fifteen, twenty percent who I know. Before he left, he begged her,

You've got to come to this wedding. If the press seas you're not there, it's gonna be a big hullabluo. Please come to the wedding. And she relented and went. And we know what happened after that. And I'm the person who got on the fucking airplane. When Fox News even began to report Shepherd spit was reporting that John Kennedy JUGI was playing, never arrived at the wedding, and search and rescue is ongoing. I told my girl right at the time, we got to go. We're flying to Newark.

We've got to rent the club for Newark. I'm driving right to John's department and that's what we did. To be next to his his home, on his block, with all these teddy bears and candles and pictures on the fence. It was very moving. I'm so glad I did it. These two assholes weren't there. I know many of you going aj who cares? Fuck them? They don't need to, I know, but I have to get things off my chest. She told Caroline, a drug addled Harrodin who made the

last days of America's prints so miserable. Do you know what I know who was supplying carolinb is set with cocaine while their marriage was shaky. I know who. She bought her coke from. The dealer's name, Well, he went by Mikey Uptown, you know, I know we had the same dealer, had a place on Columbus in sixty eighth Street, had his whole apartment fixed like it looked like a studio, meaning every wall had about six inches of foam padding on it with sheet rock on top of that. And

he kept the freezer in the living room. It wasn't set to freeze shit, but it was certainly there to keep things fresh, be it pills, marijuana, cocaine, what have you? Even kwayluds from the late seventies. I know because I tested everything he had in that fridge. You two idiots did not, Maureen Callahan did not. Whenever carolynbs Set felt upset and decided there was no hope in their marriage, she'd go uptown, stopping her coke dealers place first and

get a room with the Stan Hope Hotel. And whenever John couldn't take Carolyn his bullshit, she'd stay at the loft and he'd go up to the stand Hope. Sometimes he'd fuck an ex girlfriend named Julie Baker and knockout, but that's only because he found out Carolyn was banging the former Calvin Klein model Michael Bergen. Not only do I know what Carolyn was buying, but I also know that she was using it while she had sex. That's adultrey for those keeping score at home. Okay, it's not

what Mariene Callahan reported. And again, I have no bone to pick with Marine Callahan. But don't you ever say that I'm jealous of somebody's popularity. I don't care what you want to. You want to compare my Patreon numbers to some other it gives a fuck. What do you two do, and what will you do now that you will listen to my show anymore? Because you're fucking gone. I can't stand people like this. I don't want them on my page where they talk to each other as

if I'm not even there. Aja, it's your birthday, Calm down. I know it's my birthday, but you know what, nothing makes me feel better that they show people the fucking door who treat me and my page and my show and my listeners as assholes. So they're gone. Trash comes later on today. Otherwise I'm in a perfectly good mood. I'm sixty three years old. Christ Sorry, gang, I have

to call it the way I call it. I don't like people like that, and I don't want them talking about this show or making you think I'm different than who you know I am. I can't believe people who are involved in this show or this page for so many years still don't get who I am. Goodbye, shitheads, I'm aj Benz. That was your Daily Unfiltered Podcast June third,

twenty twenty five. And I'll tell you my former co writer, Michael lowit is so I wrote my gossip Colin with We'll do what He's done every year since nineteen ninety two, and that is to call me on his birthday, which is June third, and wish me a happy birthday. And before he hangs up, he makes sure to yell at me, Jesus was a Jew, You fucking Italians. He goes bananas and it's funny. And we've been doing it since nineteen ninety one. That's a real friend. That's a guy who

gets it. I know most of you get it. Some of you don't, the ones who don't take a walk. It's fine, it's fun. I'll survive. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
