President Trump signs a bill to end a partial government shutdown. It almost came at the cost of national security. Good evening and thank you for joining us. I'm Marcella Lee. The Coast Guard was just hours away from a funding crisis, but tonight that bullet has been dodged. News Alex Cheney joins us live with those details. Alex

Yeah, it was really close to a really terrible situation for the U.S. Coast Guard. But President Trump did sign that Senate bill just after three o'clock today, which restores funding to most fourteen. So a big day out there on Capitol Hill. It comes after the Trump administration had warned that temporary funds to pay TSA workers and other DHS personnel would soon run out. Which includes the US Coast Guard, which is actually the only military branch not to be in the Department of Defense.

Coast Guard Commandant Kevin Lundy told CBS News in an exclusive interview that the Coast Guard owes over three hundred million dollars in unpaid obligations with thousands of utility bills over the years. Fordue. Totaling$5.2 million. Duty stations and military housing situations were in flux. But now they should receive the funding that they need. It's going to start to put the Coast Guard back on track. I was typing a message.

Tim a man Robert Paulson in the Media Monarchy dot com slash live chat. So I missed the part I wanted to make fun of, so I'm gonna start this clip over again. I'm pretty sure it's Trump signs a bill to end a partial government shutdown, but it also came off national security. I'm not the Coast Guard was just hours away. News aids Alex Cheney joins us live with those details.

Yeah, it was really close to a really terrible situation for the U.S. Coast Guard. But President Trump did sign that Senate bill just after three o'clock today, which restores funding to most of the Department of Homeland Security that's been without funding for seventy six days, dating back to about February fourteen.

So a big day out there on Capitol Hill. It comes after the Trump administration had warned that temporary funds to pay TSA workers and other DHS personnel would soon run out, which includes the U.S. Coast Guard, which is actually the only Branch not to be in the Department of Defense. Coast Guard commandant Kevin Lundy told CBS News in an exclusive interview. That's that's the part I wanted to make fun of.

Which is actually the only military branch not to be in the Department of Defense. Coast Guard Commandant Kevin Lundy told It's Commandant.

Your pedo Zionist Congress critters end record shattering homeland stupidity shutdown. The House acted after weeks of delay to fund most of Homeland Stupidity agencies to Which haven't been able to rig up fake terror for seventy six days, or at least to be paid for it. On the seventy sixth day since the Department of Homeland again, we never said Homeland until the Bush Nazi takeover was fully complete around nine eleven.

On the seventy sixth day, since Homeland Stupidity Funding lapsed, Congress passed a bill restoring the flow of federal dollars stolen from you and your life of hard work. to fund most of its bullshit agencies without solving any of the policy disagreements that led to the record breaking shutdown. Again, the greatest thing you can hope for from a criminal government is to be completely deadlocked and not do anything. We need to come together across the aisle, fuck you.

The House approved by voice vote the partial DHS funding measure the Senate passed more than a month ago. DJ is expected to swiftly sign the bipartisan legislation. Fully funding the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Circus, FEMA, and of course Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, SISA. Thanks, Obama. Along with other offices within Homeland Stupidity that don't deal with Fuji enforcement. Again, you go sneak into any other fucking country and let me know how that goes.

Now congressional Kochs turn their attention to enacting tens of billions of dollars for border patrol, lit immigration and customs enforcement in a party line package. Jump to the beat of the party line. They jump started the process this week with the adoption Of weird babies you stole from Guatemala for Sam Altman? Oh no, with the adoption of a framework unlocking special budget power to skirt the Senate filibuster.

And what does a Magamike say? Democrats got absolutely nothing for their political charades and shenanigates. Kintaji forever was heard to ask who's this gerrymander guy anyway? ten eleven AM here in northern New Mexico. DC shooter Cole Tomas Allen drops bid for release from prison. Yeah, he was already trying to get out.

And Jimmy Kimmel hadn't even paid his bail yet. Cole Tomas Allen, the shirtless suspected attacker at the White House Correspondents Dinner Scam in Washington last Saturday, has withdrawn a request to be released from a cage while his case is litigated. Allen had challenged his detention in a court filing, arguing he's not a flight risk, and citing his educational background and work as a tutor. I brainwash high school kids. I'm ever so nice. You should let me out of a cage.

Mr. Allen has no criminal history. Yes, he does. Oh, you mean not prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention, his lawyer Steenson wrote. They also noted that the tranfesto Alan wrote ahead of the incident stressed that he intended to minimize casualties when attacking the press dinner. Yeah, Mark Essex could not be reached for comment. Damn, you remember the New Orleans sniper? Holy shit.

And it is one big club. Members of the criminal United States government can't stop clapping for Foreign King Chuck, who is, of course, very good friends with notorious BBC pedophile Jimmy Savile. And there's just and it's just video of them, just all just clapping like baby seals for inbred Nazis, on and on and on for minutes. But it wasn't all that. There were some there were actually some touching moments.

President Trump presented King Charles with a beautiful new toothbrush as part of the monarch's visit to the US. Trump presented King Charles with the soft bristled Oral B toothbrush in a ceremony in the White House as part of a customary exchanging of gifts gifts with visiting dignitaries for his part.

Charles seemed delighted and fascinated with the gift and asked Trump to give him a demonstration of its use. Like this, Trump said, as he showed the king how to put toothpaste on the brush and then scrub his teeth. Make sure to get those molars, Charles. I got you a soft bristle brush'cause you're new to this and also because you're weak and soft. I only use a hard bristle toothbrush because I have fabulous teeth and the healthiest gums you've ever seen. You're not ready for it, Chuck.

King Charles nodded along, clearly intrigued by the demonstration, then asked if he could try it out. After a few false starts of using the wrong end of the brush, Charles began to get the hang of it. It is a beautiful device, Trump remarked while demonstrating how to rinse and spit. You'll get there. Tiny circles, Chuck. At publishing time, Trump had also gifted King Charles a beautiful solid gold tin of breath mints.

And Caspot and I were talking about this at home recently. I don't know how Trump is so healthy. All he does is eat garbage McDonald's. No, he eats garbage McDonalds when he's out on the road because he can trust that it's gonna be the same. In DC and Florida and California and Texas, and that's why people like that shit. It will be exactly the same no matter where you go, and you can kind of trust it.

Also it's really the more mom and pop's places that get away with like spitting on your food before they send it out. But much like King Chuck, what do you think they actually eat? Oh, you know, tons of organic, homegrown local food. That's what they eat, while they tell you to eat trash at a ballpark. And I don't like this ballpark. Yay seen leaving Jewish center. Kanye scheduled performance in Europe.

The most racist land you could ever find, maybe in limbo due to his anti-Semitic past, but he appears to be taking actions to make amends, according to a report from the greatest investigative news outlet on this God's Forsaken Rock. The artist, formerly known as Kanye West, was spotted leaving the Simon Weaselthal Center in Beverly Hills. He spent over an hour and a half inside the building, which is home, of course, to the Jewish Human Rights Organization.

Ye didn't comment on why he was at the center, but it's clear that he spent some time learning about the Holocaust Incorporated at the Museum of Tolerance from the people acting exactly like their alleged enemies the Nazis. What are they doing? Uh, a bunch of weird eugenics experiments and kicking people off their land. Fuck, that seems like exactly what people hated the Nazis for. Israel screwed. I was seeing some chatter in the chat the other day, and I don't believe this has been proven.

But there has been rumors that dudes doing training, you know, for World War Three for Israel. That when they're training they're yelling shit like for Epstein and you know, jumping out of the parachute, all that stuff. Ha ha ha. I cannot verify that though. Thank you.

But let's maybe let's maybe have a little talk of You know, your sky flag. Your holy, holy flag, maybe some freedom in the face of Beltain Mayday, Rick Monday Still gets letters fifty years later after saving American flag from being burned fifty years ago last Saturday, you know, when everybody was distracted by that fake and gay shooting, an innocuous

Fourth inning at Dodgers Stadium gave way to an indelible moment in baseball and American history. On April twenty fifth, nineteen seventy six, the Dodgers hosted the Cubs in the rubber match of a three game series. That means the one that In the middle?

If you're gonna play three games, the rubber matches the one in the middle. In the bottom of the fourth inning, two fans jumped the left center field fence and hurried onto the outfield grass. Ha, grass. You mean it wasn't uh Monsanto AstroTurf that gave half the Phillies cancer?

Chicago center fielder Rick Monday noted a sound that didn't match the rhythm of the game. He glanced to his right and saw the trespassers huddled over, unfurling an American flag. I can see the guy pull out something real shiny. Monday told the LA Times in a story published last Sunday. Turned out to be one of those gigantic cans of lighter fluid they were dousing it.

Rick Monday is recognized for his heroic intervention on april twenty fifth, nineteen seventy six when he rescued a symbol, a symbol that says I can burn this shit if I want to from being burned by protesters at Dodger Stadium. Playing as a center fielder for the Chicago Cubs during a game against the LA Dodgers, Rick Monday sprinted into left center field to snatch the flag after two trespassers doused it with wider fluid, but of course failed to fucking ignite it, you know, due to strong wins.

LA Cubs, the windy city of angels. Also again, you know, most of these fucking protest kids, they're not actually any good at anything. If they were, we'd have a lot more dead presidents and politicians. Need to work on your practical accuracy, kids. On April twenty fifth, nineteen seventy six, Rick Monday, then the center fielder for the Chicago Cubs, famously rescued an American flag from being burned by two protesters at Dodger Stadium.

During the fourth inning of a game against the Dodgers, two men ran into the field, left center, doused the flag with lighter fluid, and failed to light it. Monday sprinted from the outfield, grabbed the flag, ran towards the Dodgers dugout and handed it to pitcher Doug Rao before it could be destroyed.

The incident occurred shortly after the Vietnam War and Monday a Marine Corps Reserve veteran later stated he acted out of respect for a piece of cloth and those who served. The crowd erupted in a standing ovation and began chanting, of course, USA, which didn't really happen at the uh White House shooting event the other night. When Monday came to bat in the fifth, the stadium scoreboard displayed the message, Rick Monday, you made a great play.

The two trespassers were escorted off the field and received two years probation and an eighty dollar fine each, and if this were today, of course, they would be blocked by biometrics from ever going back to that venue again. The moment is widely considered one of the greatest plays in baseball history to mark the fiftieth anniversary. The Dodgers honored Rick Monday with a pregame ceremony where he and his wife displayed the preserved flag.

Monday, loan the flag to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, of course, in Cooperstown, New York, where it was exhibited from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, twenty twenty six. I'm I'm pretty sure Memorial Day is a month away. Okay. Semiquincentennial B words. Following the incident, Monday and his wife carried the flag across the country, raising over half a million dollars for that's right military charities because The flag is a piece of cloth. That's what I said.

What does it represent? Got that voice? It represents the rights and freedoms that we have, and many, many people have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to sit down and have a conversation about anything we want to have a conversation about. Live. are back in town after a five and one road trip and the interesting Rick Monday has been part of the conversation in baseball for seven decades. Now, as a broadcast. Then as a player What? झाल झाल झाल झाल झाल झाल Nineteen seasons.

An all-star who hit 241 home runs.

But the greatest play Monday ever made didn't involve a bat. Horrible. There's so many people that take time fifty years later that write what it meant to them at that particular moment, many of whom were not even born at the time. Monday was the first overall pick in the first ever MLB draft in nineteen sixty five. gone. That same year he joined the Marine Corps Reserve. where he would serve for six years.

It was important for me to be able to do that at the time. I'm a citizen of a of a country that I really think a lot of. And it was Vietnam. Fifty years ago, America was celebrating its bicentennial in an anxious time. After Vietnam, after Watergate. It was April 25th, 1976, as Monday's Cubs visited the Dodgers.

I'm in center field. There had already been a pitch or two made in the bottom of the fourth inning. And I could hear the crowd react and I turn and I see these guys coming onto the field. Two protesters knelt down on the outfield grass. I saw that one of'em had something under his arm, but I could not figure out what it was. And then he spread it out and it was an American flag. I'm not sure what he's doing. They saw a big reflection of a huge candle lighter fluid and they doused it.

I've asked myself hundreds of times, what was I thinking at that moment? And I was mad. So I started to run at them. It looks like he's going to burn a flag and Rick Munday runs and takes it away from him. Well, they better lose him at all. Monday when he realized what he was gonna do. Yeah. Race over. It didn't take a decision. It was a feeling of what was right and what's wrong. And it doesn't take you long to decide on what to do if you think it's right.

I think a guy was going to step by the American flag. Can you imagine that? Monday played eight more seasons. Home run for Rick Mundy. Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok winning a title with the Dodgers in 1981. Decades. thing started when all of these guys in the Dodger Blues were kids dreaming about this moment. Salary cap. At one moment. Fifty years ago. Still resonates most. Fifty years after the event took place, I look at the flag and it represents a lot for us.

But I think if we don't accept what it offers, it's going to diminish. It's a remembrance of what it can be. Well

Of course that's new order. Red, white and blue Monday, ten twenty six AM here in northern New Mexico. That's a little shorty radio edit from Gen four five two. I'm Holmy's second subscriber on YouTube. Ha ha ha. Also, those protesters would actually go on to form the Boomtown Rats and write, I don't like Monday.

And yes, of course, Rick Monday traded to the Dodgers the next year. You know, they buy their way to the championships every year based on tax scams and California, you know, tax all that stuff. Yeah. Hey, baseball, Brady Bunch, Broke Check Mountain, we got Marky, I don't understand how the audio from nineteen seventy-six is shittier than suspense episodes from nineteen forty-four.

Oh, of course. Of course I got into the Boards of Canada listening party email. Access code seven eight five one three six five three. Ticket link will go live at eleven AM local time, so that's gonna be noon to me here in Mountain Time. Please do not share the code or ticket link. Tickets are limited by venue capacity, strictly two tickets max per person. Tickets of course are non transferable, not resellable, and ID will be required.

If you're unable to secure a ticket, there may be opportunities to attend listening events at local record stores. Sent from music has the right to shill, then yeah, you don't even own your own fucking concert ticket. So Boards of Canada, you know, the secret group that doesn't do interviews and doesn't play fucking bullshit concerts, they have a new album coming out for the first time in about fifteen years, and it's coming out on Morsey's birthday next month.

So I've already pre-ordered it. They are doing listening parties all around the world. So I got an email from Boards of Canada earlier in the week. It was like, choose your city that you would like to be entered into the lottery for. Like, okay, well, Tokyo and Sydney aren't real close, so I'm gonna probably have to go for Los Angeles.

But fucking course. They emailed me yesterday to say I've made it into the lottery, which means I now have the pleasure of paying for tickets to go sit in an art gallery and listen to an album played over speakers. And Sugar and I were about the only ones that are pretty geeked about Boards of Canada. They are putting up fake downloads.

Sugar thought he had one. Big H thought he downloaded one for us. They are fake. Phonies are being uploaded. Exactly like how Madonna did to people on Napster. What the fuck do you think you're doing? Did you ever hear that? I didn't have it queued up. It's only a couple seconds long though. She loaded up fake leaks of whatever the fuck album was coming out in nineteen ninety-nine with Napster in two thousand. And if you downloaded one, you would hear this.

What the fuck do you think you're doing? So yeah, you would get threatened by Madonna, which is pretty baller. It was pretty amazing. I certainly had never seen anything like that happen in my lifetime. Hey, you know when we jacked up our prices again, we made more money again. Sirius XM posts double digit profit growth after jacking up their subscription prices. Oh yeah, also they own fucking Pandora. The platform for people that don't know how to music.

Serious and XM would have never survived separately. They had to become conjoined twins, you know, so that they can fight against uh iHeart Radio. Sirius XM posts double-digit profit growth on subscription price hikes, Pandora's ad revenue. The audio entertainment company discussed improved customer retention. You ain't got my parents anymore, thank God.

with companion plans and advertising momentum, but declined to address market speculation that it may acquire iHeart Radio. So the artists formerly known as Clear Channel, what? They're gonna they're gonna But feel the yank.

Korn's basis Fieldie has finally broken his silence on his controversial departure from the legendary, citation needed, new metal bands. Fieldie revealed his refusal to get a bullshit magajab as the primary reason for his exit. In a candid interview, Fieldie explained the circumstances that led to his indefinite hiatus from the group he had been with for nearly three decades. COVID happened. That's it. I'm like, I'm not going out there.

That's what happened, because it was new. Now I'm like the whole time, I mean, I didn't get vaccinated or anything. But when you reflect on it, that's that's what happened. They're like, we're going to Florida and all this. And I'm like, I'm not gonna get vaccinated. I'm not going. I go, people, this is weird right now. The basis reflected on his nearly thirty year tenure with Corn, describing the experience as transformative despite difficult circumstances surrounding his departure. Man

I look back at my life and like, you know, almost thirty years with corn, that was a blast, man. I mean, it was I can't explain it. It's like you're gonna get the ultimate thrill. It's not easy, but it is a blast. I don't look back going that sucks. When asked about a possible return, Fieldie offered an ambiguous answer that left the door open. I'm retired from corn today, but we'll see what the day brings tomorrow.

This suggests his current status is not necessarily permanent. Fieldie's candid remarks have shattered the longstanding narrative that surrounded his absence from the band. They provide clarity on a situation that remains somewhat mysterious to fans and the industry alike. Fieldies hiatus from corn began around twenty twenty one, stemmed primarily from the greatest bullshit scam we've ever seen in our lifetimes so far.

Rather than being framed solely as a vaccination issue, the basis' reluctance to tour during the height of the scammick became the catalyst for his indefinite break. His departure marked a significant moment in Korn's history as the group had to navigate touring and recording without one of its founding members. I'm retired today, but we'll we'll see what the day brings tomorrow. New video game core next week Diablo EV Oh wait four Man, hopefully Holmy wrote some of the songs.

Yeah, that make the whole world go round.

And that Madonna, I guess she didn't know that country was the scam that you're supposed to jump on top now. She's going back to mid nineties techno. Madonna, Madonna, Madonna returns. You know she's Italian, right? Madonna returns to Billboard's dance charts with I feel so free the first taste of her forthcoming confessions to hits four charts.

Madonna's I Feel So Free, the first song released from her forthcoming Confessions II album, due july third via Warner Records, debuts on four billboard charts. Including a number one arrival on the dance digital song sales tally. Hey, that's racist. Don't say tally. That's the like a tally, like a tally. Thank you. It also takes a bow on digital song sales, hot dance pop songs, and dance mix show airplay. The track aired exclusively via iFart Radios.

Pride Radio on Friday, april seventeenth, before becoming widely available through steaming services and digital download stores alongside an official visualizer, which is what they call music videos now. When they're not in there. But really, I Mick G and I were kinda talking about this. Ripping off gay subculture couldn't More on brand for Madge. Again, it could only be more so if she had Fauci drop a verse from one of the bathhouses in D.C. Fucking dirty water.

Hey, but she's back on Horner and Moz is back on Sire. Back where they belong. People thought nineteen eighty four was bad. Yeah,'cause all they listened to was Born in the USA when maybe they should have played sports. We're again in an era of new history being made every day. But don't forget

Previous presidents that, you know, killed people too, the owners of the house that Marilyn Monroe died in claim in a lawsuit that the city took their property when it landmarked it. Grabbin' this from reason, everything we say and play always linked up in your show notes. The LA home where Marilyn died, you know, after Bobby Kennedy and, you know, Peter Peter Lawford cruised by for some reason.

Is now the subject of a legal fight between the city which has declared the home historic landmark, and the owners who say the shitty's landmarking has effectively taken the property out from under them. We do not hate the government enough. But it's Friday. So, you know, I have to try and have some good times.

And I know I'm always having a good time when I get to talk about Christopher Knight opening up about his long standing connection with former Brady Bunch co star Eve Plum, not to be confused of course with alt rock nineties band Eve's Plum, and why their relationship never quite turned romantic despite the timing almost lining up, the actors who played siblings, Peter and Jan Brady, the struggled middle kid. They are the most complex, absolutely the most complex on the show.

You know, the beloved show from nineteen sixty nine. Brady Bunch premiered just little bit after, you know, that first time we went to the moon. And up to nineteen seventy four Peter and Jane have remained close for decades, but as both have shared over the years, there was a brief moment when their off screen bond nearly shifted into something more, Eve Plum, sixty eight years young. Recently reflected on that same period in an interview with Paige Six.

Revealing the two went on a date shortly after the bunch ended, it was sweet. It was fun. But we were really already by that time just too good of friends to make that transition into being romantic partners. And of course people always love to bring that up because I kinda think people are weirdos. I wanna see that the brother and sister dated each other or that the kid dated the mom. You know what I wanna see?

The fucking house in North Hollywood. More than fifty years after the bunch ended, Southern California fans Yeah, they better hope that house doesn't get put on the uh landmark. Contor the iconic home that defined the series citation needed. It is the exterior shot. You know, when you're watching the Brady's and it's about to go into the scene, and the last thing you see is created by Sherwood Schwartz, and it shows that exterior shot of that house. That's the house someone bought.

All the interiors were done on a set, but they've turned the exterior they've made it they turned it into a real boy. The Los Angeles Pad, now owned by the very Jagar looking Tina Trahan, who purchased it for three point two milli in twenty twenty three, will open up to the public for For Brady Inspired Tours. Tickets start at$290 a pop, and fans can start booking limited spots through bucket listers.

The experience is scheduled to run from may eleventh to june twelfth. The California Post got a private tour of the iconic home this last Tuesday. From Trey Han and from Christopher Knight, Peter Brady, the interior has been turned into a loving tribute to the show with over four hundred Easter eggs for fans to discover, the first of which sits outside a custom seventy-one Plymouth satellite wagon.

The same one driven in the series. There's also a letter on display, allegedly written, of course, by the monkey singer Davy Jones that appeared in of course getting Davy Jones. Other artifacts include a typewriter from the season five episode Lost Locket Found Locket and the iconic horse statue seen in the Brady's living room throughout the show. She always said don't play ball in the house.

There's a bunch of tiny details. With every phone in the home, including the written numbers used during the show's run on TV, one of the most painstaking elements of getting the home ready. Curating the extensive nightgown collection worn by the late great Florence Henderson's character Carol. And remember, they were the first couple to share a bed on TV. Trahan revealed it took quite a long time to get the collection together.

Tickets for the experience include a semi-private self-guided visit that can be purchased in one hour blocks. A portion of the ticket pro seal fuck will be donated aye to Wags and Walks Dog Rescue in LA. I can get down with that. The house was not Only used for the exterior shots on the sitcom, thrust back into the spotlight in 2018, which we of course reported for you back then when HGTV renovated it.

for the T V series A Very Brady Renovation, which featured, of course, Greg, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Marsha And Knight who played Peter. The interior was remodeled to replicate the inside of the house, scenes that had previously been shot on a soundstage. So do they have Alice's room too? Earlier this year, after a two-year campaign, the home gains historical cultural monument status through the city of Los Angeles. So of course they own your app.

The sitcom, as I just told you, created by the great Sherwood Schwartz, ran from sixty nine to seventy four, became a beloved classic through syndication in the years that followed. The experience is scheduled to run from May eleventh to june twelfth, okay. Fuck then. I'm gonna go to the fucking Boards of Canada listening party and then the Brady experience on Maz's birthday. There's the link to bucketlisters.com. Everything I need to know, I think I learned from the Brady Bun.

Maybe in the tranny world order of woktivist race LARPs and constant fucking complaining about every fucking thing, Brady. And Saved by the Bell and G.I. Joe maybe feel transgressive in the face of that when everybody's tatted up and pierced and posting proudly about their mental illnesses being fucking normal is maybe the most rebellious thing.

oddly enough felt like a schoolyard taunt. It took me back to being that age and it felt as if someone was making fun of my performance. Yeah. But this was an adult actor on a comedy show and I was an adult. Um so it was a very odd reaction to have, but that's that's sort sort of how I felt.

Yeah, I also think it's interesting you said contrary to rumors, I do not uh resent the Brady Bunch, I don't regret it. I actually enjoyed it. Did people think that you were over the Brady Bunch? Where did that come from? It seems that somehow somehow that has become a thing. I don't know if people want to believe

bad things more than they want to believe good things but uh the only Brady reunion that I didn't do um was the Variety show. Um but every other Brady T V movie I've done I have always spoken highly of it, it's put me where I am today.

And one of the lessons of the show is that it was different. It uh dealt with a melded family, which was unusual for Hollywood to do. Didn't get off to a great start, but they stuck with it. A couple of lessons there for Hollywood it seems to me. To be experimental and to stick Or something.

Absolutely. A lot of times I think uh nowadays things are expected to be a hit right out of the box and sometimes you take a while to find an audience, sometimes it needs to gel and you find out what the show's really about by stink sticking with it for a few episodes. It was interesting, Major, to hear that it wasn't a hit right away because for all of us now it's such a cultural icon. I did not know it wasn't a hit. Yeah.

Well you you also know and we were talking about this backstage, um, you note that uh Jan became a and I want to quote you here, a bemoaning middle child who struggles for visibility. But how conscious were you, even as a child, that you were shaping what millions of actual middle children would come to feel about themselves. It's such an amazing thing and it's such I don't know, it's like an honor to have people feel this way about Jan. It's so great and I really appreciate it. Um at the time

We were sort of insular. We were making our shows, we didn't have social media. So um we were just trying to make the best show we could, and I feel it was great that they really included these storylines that children have emotions, children have hard times, and and to have people like that is is really wonderful.

This summer, from the producers of Brokeback Mountain, comes the sequel nobody asked for. We should sleep in separate tents tonight. But we only bought one. I know. I burned the other one. But every man will watch twice, pretending he didn't. You smell like two people. What do you mean two people? Which Two people. I love it. Come here. That was with the horses, Chris. Yeah. 哇 Horses wear perfume. You're exhausted, baby. Whoever's keeping you up. I'll sleep small, no questions.

Never said no. Because easy love doesn't feel like a love story. Everything is against us, even the deer. The whole world doesn't want us together. That's why nothing works. They had warm beds, husbands who But they chose the mountain. and happiness. Dramatic enough. As her husband, I feel like I should say something. As her husband, I feel like you should shut up. Ha ha. I'm watching. Pastor. I've sinned, I have feelings for. For another woman. My job. Child. The Lord asks us to be specific.

Every man in this town is staring at us. Oh my god, there's another one looking at us. Yeah. It's not even like we're dressed for attention. It's summer. It's hot. This is normal. It's the affair. They can see it on our faces. They called it a sin, the town called it a gift. Broke back mountain two. Ask yourself. 한글자막 by 한효정

Michael Bring your love, Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, and Sabrina Carpenter. Ah, initiating yet another generation into the Chiconi youth. I would have played the hit, but when I searched it, it had just been posted a couple hours ago. And one of them doesn't have fancy AI fixing their vocal.

Madonna has returned to Warner Records, reuniting with the label where she spent the first twenty-five years of her career after nearly two decades away, yeah, twenty years with Disney and her vanity label Maverick. A multimedia entertainment company founded in ninety two by pop superstar Madonna and her manager, Freddie DeMann, as a joint venture with Warner Brothers Records part of Time Warner.

Partnership secured as part of a sixty million dollar contract which included five million advance per album and twenty percent royalty rate for Mag. The label's success, often cited as the benchmark for a vanity label model, where the artist retains significant creative control while the major label handles distro and financing. Freddy Demand, rather than Madonna, credited with the day to day business ops and A and R efforts.

The label successfully signed and developed major acts, most notably former child actor and you can't do that on television star Alanis Fucking evil Dave Coulier. Must be exposed. Whose ninety five album Jagged Little Pill, became a global blockbuster, and they also had bands like Candlebox and Prodigy. Unlike many vanity labels that struggled, Maverick reportedly turned a profit in its second year silencing critics.

Despite its early success, of course, their relationship eventually soured. In the early 2000s, Warner Music Group sued Maverick for over$60 million in deficit. The legal dispute led to Warner buying out Madge's stake, effectively dissolving the independent label, and absorbing it back into Warner Brothers in the mid 2000s. Sabrina Sweeney and Olivia Langley. Makeup is a lie.

D'ye ever see Eve Plum in I'm Gonna Get You Sucker? She's the white lady married into the black activist family with a bunch of kids. Thank you. During a May 2025 episode of their podcast, the real Brady Bros, the actors attributed the depth to the middle child syndrome. That while Greg and Marcia had defined leadership roles and the youngest were written as cute or cliche tattletales, the middle children had no strict definition.

The narrative freedom allowed writers to explore emotional angst, identity searches, inner conflicts, resulting in richer and more compelling storylines for Jan and Peter compared to their siblings.

And in this new issue of Tapeop, oh shit, it's got Dan the Automator, you know, of Deltron thirty thirty, Doctor Octagon Gorillas.

Niall Rogers could could stop doing things and I'd be unfortunate.

The flu contains elements flu, two forms of human flu, and uh and

various forms of swine flu. To them it doesn't look like this is naturally occurring. The other thing is the target uh for this flu, as as opposed to other flus, it's not the very young and the very old, it's people
