Caller: President Trump Was Right to Call It the 'China Virus'
"As far as I'm concerned, now we can officially call it the China virus, just like president Trump said. And as far as Paul Ryan and Jeff Sessions, those were two of president Trump's biggest backstabbers. As far as I'm concerned, you've got his administration to get off at a bad start. If Jeff Sessions would have stayed there and he would add so many better than the puppet for Mick Romney. You're right. We would have had a whole different car. He would have been a whole different outcome, John, you're right on the money. Trump was justified. And of course, Paul Ryan did nothing to help him for the miserable tenure he had is House speaker when Trump was in office.

We are kicking off the holidays a little early this year with a 3D immersive remix of this very fun mystery about mall santas. I hope you like it. Hi, I'm LeVar Burton, and this is LeVar Burton reads. In every episode, I handpick a different piece of short fiction and I'll read it to you. The only thing these stories have in common is that I love them and I hope you will too. For some of us it's the holiday season right now and I thought I would take this opportunity to bring you not only a holiday themed story, but a holiday themed mystery featuring the ultimate man of mystery Santa Claus and yes, if you are listening with children be aware that this is a story that involves Santa. You have been warned. The story is called the usual santas and is by Mick herron from his collection dolphin junction published by Soho press in the U.S. and John Murray in the UK. Mick herron is a British novelist, who you may know from his award winning series of slough house thrillers, which has been adapted for an Apple TV series called slow horses that stars Gary Oldman. Yeah. The usual santas follows a group of professional mall santas, who are posted up in a sprawling shopping complex outside London. It's Christmas Eve, and after a busy holiday season, santas are finally getting to hang up their hats, though not literally since they have kind of an unspoken rule about staying costumed on the premises. I had an amazingly fun time reading this story. So let's just go ahead and get started. Shall we? I'm gonna go ahead and take that deep breath.

Eric and Salem Host Jenna Ellis Discuss RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel
"Now we have, you know, we've had these horrible midterms and as we sit here now, the greater horror of Herschel Walker having lost in Georgia. And so here you have Rana mcdaniel that I pronounce her name, who's Mick moron is actually how I press. Okay, now that's take it easy. But I mean, seriously, this is someone who typifies. She's been the head of the Republican National Committee, and she has typified these kinds of problems. She's the niece of Mitt Romney, who unfortunately is someone that I once voted for him. And I am grieved deeply grieved to see how folks like Mitt Romney and the late John McCain and so many others really, really, really were not on board with what I thought they were. And it's heartbreaking. And so now here we have ronna mcdaniel who's been the head of the Republican National Committee. She seems to be guilty of this kind of thing. But the good news, this is the end of the sentence is that she is now being challenged for the head of headship of the Republican national committee. This to me is very hopeful. It's hopeful, but it's also, I think, a little bit premature hope because just yesterday, Lee zeldin posted a great statement on social media. And you can all go and find that on his Twitter page that said that he's not going to challenge her for the Republican national chair because it's almost baked in that she's going to get reelection because of how corrupt the process is and how much I think will be forthcoming about how corrupt she is and using her position to essentially for lack of a better word bribe the rest of the RNC members with other favors and benefits and things that will ultimately support her.

AJ's Special Moment With Bono
"I was also obsessed with Bono back then, to be honest with you. And when I used to go to spy bar down on green street and Greenwich in Soho, me and Johnny boy calvani would run right to the baby grand piano which sat on an elevated piece of stage. So to us, it was a great spot. It was my spot. It was our spot. No one sat on the piano, but me and Johnny boy. And that's we didn't show up one night, which was very rare. Because that put me on a perk that I could see everybody and everything going on. And I never had a notepad in my hand. I just observed things, remember them, tucked them in my mind, kind of knew what I was going to write that as people questions. Some people to the piano like I was a judge and it come to be come to the bench approach to piano, please. I'd ask a question, but one that I'm sitting on the daily grand piano, and actually, it was that night that the thing about the awards was Sinatra ended several hours later, and I'm on the piano and I see Bono coming in to the right of me in the front door. Dressed really cool, two or three scarves on his body. You know how he dresses around his neck? And he came right, he had to pass us. And he kind of maybe maybe recognized him and being backstage at the introduction. I don't know. But he did come right to me and Johnny. And he's like, I see what you're doing. I get it. I get it. Got your eyes on everybody, don't you? And I just, I was like, yep. And he put his scarf one squaw around my neck. And Johnny boy was going to appear soon at spy bar singing as his alter ego, Johnny lightning. Somebody he put together in the 70s and 80s that used to tour around New York and New Jersey, this crazy Johnny was like, Iggy Pop first was a little bit of Mick Jagger in him and he'd seen coverage to really great rock and roll songs and some original songs he wrote back in the day. So Johnny's like, Johnny grabbing goes, you don't let me wear a bottle scarf for my show. I said, of course you can, buddy, of course. I gave this off, you ever got it back? Of course not. Because Johnny was really more rock and roll than I was so. But I never get it back. It's okay.

Christa Helm Was Playing With Fire Before Her Murder
"There was a thing back then, make yourself relevant, go to the right parties, you'll make it. And when she went to these parties, she made people like Warren Beatty. She met Mick Jagger. She met the Shah of Iran. And she made a man named Bernie cornfield. His name you'd never think stands out within Jagger Beatty and the Shah. Iran, but Bernie kleinfeld had at a time in LA. Now Chris the helm slept but he was a guy who was in money to finance here. But Krista slept with some of the men and women she met along the way. Word like that gets around. Her sex life probably would have been irrelevant except for the fact that she kept a not so secret love diary filled with the names of people she screwed, even a rating system. This is never a good idea. Writing shit down on paper may make the wrong guy nervous. So instead of keeping that information private, she would talk about her diary and the secret tape recording she made with many of her friends. And some of her friends warned her, you got to be careful. You know, people don't want to be in these recordings. They don't want to know about this, man. This is very dangerous. One of her friends was really adamant about it and she knew it was dangerous and she thought Christa was playing with fire, especially because people believed the famed seeking actress was getting ready to blackmail some of her lovers. That's desperation. At some point, Christie tells her friend that she'd gotten into something deep and she needed to stay off the radar for a while. This is February 12th, 1977, 5 days before she was killed before her dead body is found outside of her agent's home in West Hollywood. And given the fact that she had multiple stab wounds, authorities believed it was a crime of passion. That the murderer probably knew helm. Didn't make the case any easier though, as several people might have wanted to kill a due to her complicated life.
Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast
Dana Goldberg and Stephanie Are Giddy Over This Week's Trump Raid
"Know what to say about how good this week has been and it's only Thursday still. I mean, it has been blissful. A G and I were talking about it on the podcast yesterday. She's just, you know, Trump's walking around going, I'm innocent, but which one of you has the wire? And then I said, but which one of you is bugged? Yes. Yes, Travis. Oh, we could say something on the safe. Mick Mulvaney was on scene, and this morning. He said that only 6 to 8 people know about that safe and Mar-a-Lago. Oh. Who could it be? Oh my God. It's like a game of clue. It's just getting. It's like mystery date, but better. Now he's going to be sad he wasn't there, Dana, 'cause the Trump lawyer said she saw ten to 15 FBI vehicles, including a rider truck. You know how he loves to pretend to drive the trucks. And drugs are a big trick. Do we have him doing it? I love big drops, Hong Kong. Doesn't he doesn't he always pretend? For photo ops to ride the stop reaching for the wheels, sir, you need to stop reaching for the wheel. Okay, she spoke to Trump while the raid was underway, and he expressed shock about the FBI search. This is massive job done right. Has required more than 1500 pieces of heavy equipment, one of the largest cranes anywhere in the world and look forward to seeing it. I love cranes. I love trucks of all. Not the rider trucks at the FBI. I took your illegal away and yes, this is but you know, the fact that he expressed shocking that this is what Mary Trump said yesterday, I think, is that this is the first time his life he's been without protection of the office of the presidency of the banks of his father. I mean, he's shocked because why wouldn't he be? He's gotten away with everything his entire life. But she's also said and we need to follow it. He's that list of inventory that he said he has. They're going to say they planted something. They were already starting to say that. That's what he's alluding to, and all of these will no one was there. The lawyers weren't there. The FBI agents had full reign. It's coming. So we all need to be prepared that it's coming. Yeah, I would say I was quoting Rachel Bennett offer earlier said, I think what we find at the end of the day is going to make our jaws drop as much as nothing you think nothing would surprise you about Donald Trump. What would be worth hiding and going to prison for for ten months? Jim Jordan seems to think it's golf balls. That's what they took boxes of golf balls and a raincoat. I'm like, he doesn't have a raincoat. He doesn't know how to use a rain umbrellas. So I'm sure that's not what's in the boxes, Jim.

Over the top. Yeah, yeah. We appreciate it, miss pat. We really do. Favorite Mick Hubert remember? My favorite one is definitely, I think the blocked kick blocked in O 6 against South Carolina. Jarvis moths blocking that kick. Absolutely huge as tough a game as I've ever seen in the swamp and as tense a game as I have ever seen there and Mick called it perfectly. Under the radar, 2018 or 2019, Florida at LSU. When Jerry's guys, unfortunately, runs the wrong way there in Florida wins the game and make loses it on the air. That really thought my man was gonna fall out there. Yeah, why can't you just act like that in the produce department at public? Get that excited when I ask you to say, oh, my. What are you, where are you retiring to? Because mix going to the beach. Where did you retire? Mountains, mountains, beaches overrated. I'll stand on that. You can go ahead and call in, yell at me. He's from Florida, by the way. Spencer is originally from Florida. The beach is overrated. This is your hot take. That is my hot take, beach is overrated. It goes in this order. It goes Lake. Pool beach. You're taking cool over beach. I'm taking a little over beach. Right over the salt water. Correct, correct. Where do we rank river in that Pantheon there? River, I don't know what's in it. It's too risky. I'm going to put that just above beach. So okay, so we're lumping a river and we're lumping in beach as things that flowing animals, et cetera, et cetera. There's not going to be a shark in a river, most likely. It's pretty rare. I do like the Lake for just the chill factor contained body of water, you don't have to worry about anything coming in. Yeah, I don't know. What about you? Where would you retire? I do like a Lake house. I do. Just stick me on a golf course, man. I'm a simple man with simple needs. Stick me on a girl, of course, stick me close to a golf course. I'm not retiring back down south, I don't think. I was going to say what state you got. San Diego. San Diego. San Diego. I went to San Diego last year and I am as shameful. San Diego is not a state. I am a shamelessly in the tank for San Diego, California. As I think anybody could possibly be, especially somebody from the east coast like I am and I currently live in New York City. I would go to San Diego. I would go to saint eagle tonight after we finished the show. If someone will fly me out there. Yeah, Montana baby, Montana, all day. You're going off the grid.

"Time to move on. I haven't lost my talent, but the grace to do this is being lifted away from me. And so we're excited about the next phase of our lives. Nick, when you run around town, you know, my favorite call of yours is 2006, Florida, South Carolina, Jarvis moss blocks that field goal at the end and you say it's been blocked again and you go crazy. But when you're running around town and going to publics or what have you, what are some of the calls that people may sort of yell out to you or whatever in the parking lot or something like that? Well, I get some of those calls. I get some of that during the touchdown and it's been blocked again. I think it was the third block kick we had in that game. So we've already had two. And when you go back, listen to the call. I do the very set up to it. You can hear not a somber tone of my voice, but a realistic tone that if he kicks this field goal and at 48 yards, it's not out of his range. If he kicks it, it's probably going to be good and we're going to get beat. But the kick never got away. I mean, it was blocked. And so that's why he locked it again, you know? And so I've had that one and I had the one that quasi green against FSU where you got behind the defense and hauled in a long pass and then they'll throw the one at me when I said that that was the game where I called the place at insane asylum in the swamp and then the one in the Georgia dome where I said they're blowing the roof off this place to shoot out we had when we beat Alabama. I think it was a 96 national championship game. So there's a few of those, but it's interesting you mentioned publics because I was in public the day before the story was coming public. This was just last week and a guy said to me, Mick, I hope you never hope you're not going anywhere. And I at the very next Scott Carter had already written the story. It just hadn't been released on the website yet. When I looked at it, I got my car and I said, you know what? It got in the car and drove away. He probably thought it's imminent. Yeah, it was within 24 hours. It was announced. So it was funny, and that happened to be right in public. What he mentioned that to me, but I felt like I was living a lie a little bit for the last several months when everybody was retiring and I knew that mine was mine was forthcoming too. Mick, I know that this is a Florida call because we did have a public shout out. Richard. Richard, you got one more? Yeah, Mick, you're forever. You kind of kept a low profile. There was no talk radio show in town that you hosted or anything like that. It was just sort of the games and you lived a sort of normal life as one can do being something of a local celebrity. Was that by design? Did you like the low profile? Yes, I did. I really did. You know, for example, when. Some of these coaches retire, you know, Roy Williams retired retired. He was abrupt. Lon Kruger a year ago retired. It was abrupt. Coaches announced he was going to go through a tour. I'm thinking, there is no way. I'm ever going to do that 9 months, 8 months, count down settlement 6 months, 6 weeks, 5 weeks. I mean, this last week felt like it's been a year. I don't know how he could know how you could do it. And you know, the great sportswriter that worked for the saint Pete times for many years, Hubert mizell, when he came to Gainesville, he called me and he said, Nick, he said, let's get together and do a talk show. You and I had to be Hubert in Hubert. It's kind of like Mike and Mike. You were the numerous there is absolutely no way I'm going to talk sports for two hours every day. I talk enough. I'm doing almost a hundred games a year. I don't have no desire to be a talk show host. None whatsoever. And then of course, I'm not on social media. I don't tweet, I don't do any of that. I don't do any of that stuff. So I just wanted to keep it a low profile. One day last week, somebody said to me, Mick, right now your number four on Twitter. I said, omelet? What? Is that the United States? He goes, no, it's in the world. Mike and guarantee there are about 600 million Chinese people over there that could care less about an announcer in Florida, retiring. But I was number four in the world on trending on Twitter. So the next day I go back to what am I today? He goes, you're nothing. You're not printing at all. Mick, before I let you get out and get onto the road to retirement, what is the weirdest place you've ever had someone ask you for an oh my. I know you got one. Well, you know, to me, anytime I'm not in the press box and someone asked me, it's a little weird because I know that I'll probably disappoint them because I can't do it on cue. I mean, this is what happened to you guys. When I knew that I was destined to do this and given this, given this grace to do this and anointed to do this, when I put the headset on, my personality changes. My wife would never put up with me being Nick you were at home like he is on the air because there's a different guy. So I never got into this for the recognition. I just love the craft. I love the study, the preparation, I love to go on the air. The only thing I know how to do is from a time I was 7 or 8 years old. They don't have a lot of other skills. So I was able to do this and make a 46 year broadcasting career out of it and I feel like I've never worked really a day in my life, although the travel gets to you. It's the travel. If I could say beam me up, Scotty, I do a lot more games, but getting from point a to point B, I just got tired of doing all that. Make Hubert calling it a career. Thank you so much for your time. Enjoy the beach, enjoy Sarasota, and we wish you many happy returns in retirement. We will definitely definitely do that. Thank you for having me on. Thank you. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. We will be back with more of the Paul finebaum show after the break. You are listening to the Paul finebaum show podcast. I'm not gonna lie Spencer.

I'll be prepared and I'll be excited and I'll root for the Gators and here we are fast forward 33 years later. You know, it's been he's been a wonderful career. Four one Carolina. I've enjoyed 33 years broadcasting gator sports to you. I thank you so very much. I love you one and all. Made my career. Thank you so much. We welcome in to the Paul Feynman show. Make Hubert. 33 years as the voice of the Florida Gators, I grew up listening to him driving around an a.m. 8 50 Mick. It is an honor to have you on the show and congratulations on retirement. Well, thank you so much. And thank you for having me on and it's just been crazy. I went into Scott Strickland's office last Monday, a week ago and really was the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders because I was pretty certain this was going to happen 9 or ten months ago. And I enjoyed the football season last year, although it didn't go well for the Gators per se. And same with basketball and I enjoyed doing those games that I kind of had a hunch. It was the last go around. So I had a lot of fun doing it, but you know, when everybody else was retiring, whether it be basketball coaches or other announcers, everybody always said, I hope you're not going anywhere. I hope you're not going anywhere. And all the while in the last 9 or ten months, I knew I was. But I couldn't say that. So that's why it was a real weight lifted off me on Monday and I feel great about it. I know this is the time. Like I told Scott, I still feel like I still have my fastball. I don't think I've lost that much or anything really. But it's time to go. And that's why 6 national championships and 2500 plus broadcasts I've given the best I've had to the Gators and it's time to move on to something else now. Nick, when you woke up this morning, what did you do today? First day of retirement. I had a doctor's appointment. You know, that was scheduled. I did that. Then I went into the office and met with the HR people and I'll tell you this too. I just spent an hour and a half on hold. Trying to get ahold of the trying to get a hold of Medicare people. There's some questions I had. Yes, it was all of an hour and a half. So make sure you got a little extra time. You got to call those people. And you guys were calling, I just got off the phone about 5 minutes ago. I'm thinking, you know what? This call that I managed to at two 50 is going to run into four 30, but we got it done in time. So that's been the day, you know, and the tomorrow I've got to take the car in for some work. That was scheduled too. So everybody tells me, you know, when you're retired, you're staying plenty busy as you well, you get that right. You got a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff as you guys know, get put in the back burner. You know, you got to catch up to you got to catch up and do things when you get a chance because the job requires that and the so now I'll be able to catch up and do all these other things and there's two camps of people I've run into the camp of people who are close to retiring and close one, two, three years away and asking all the questions and they're so happy for you because they're anticipating their own. And then there's the other camp of people who are retired and say, you know what, my only regret is, I didn't do it sooner. So nobody has ever told me that Nick, you're going to regret this in three or four years. Everybody said, man, I wish I was you. Mick, my question is, when did you know, when did you know that you were in the fold? When did you know that you were a thing? Because, you know, you are only the third voice ever of the Florida Gators. Both primary announcers had really long careers at Florida. What was the moment where you said, oh yeah, this is my spot. This is my place. Well, it was the really a job that the kind of job that I always wanted. I worked, I got out of school, I don't want to stay, you got a job in Peoria, Illinois, which is a really a place that's turned out a lot of great sports casters over the years, a smaller market. I did Bradley basketball for years and got a job in W HIO TV and radio and Dayton and did the flyers for ten years and had a very good job. It was a good job. But I always wanted to do more play by play wanted to work for a team. And so I was talked into it by a guy I'd worked with in Peoria. I was not working with him again at another station in Dayton. And he told me you make you got to apply. You got to apply some. There's no way they're going to hire me. They have no ties to them at all. I didn't go to school there. All the excuse in the world. He says send a tape. So I turn a tape or a 150 of them, and they hired me. And so it was a job I always wanted when I got here. The first year I was here in the fall of 89, you know, we fired Gayle hall, and we fired norm Sloan. We were coming off a 150 NCAA rules violations. It was a dark period of Florida history. But in a few months after I got here, Steve spurrier was hired on Kruger was hired and boom. The decade of the 90s, the Gators started winning basketball, the football final fours national championships. I think that first decade would ever be duplicated in the second decade in the year we turned the calendar of the year 2000. The next ten years were even better because we went back to basketball titles. We went two more football titles. I see a Heisman Trophy winner again and so it's just been it's just been great. I just knew right away. And the story is, I worked here four years, I like to tell the joke that nobody knew who I was. You know, you know, it was Mark Hubert Mitch Hubert and every name in the book and then all of a sudden in 1993, the Gators throw 7 picks and a game they're going to get beat at Kentucky and we rallied to beat them and during got a touchdown and keep Jackson picked up on the call. It was a call or really went viral before the word or the term viral Everett came along. And all of a sudden I got on the map and then year 5, yeah, Mick Hubert, he's the voice of the Gators. Well, it was my 5th year there. And I'd hope to be here a long, long time. So just according to plan, I didn't know how long it would be. But I tell people this too, the 5 years ago, I thought I'd worked all probably 80 or more. I thought I'd be in the Larry Munson fold or the Jack crystal fold all those guys. But, you know, I had a change of heart and as I said before, only God can change your heart. And so I'm just being obedient to the spirit, which is I know that I know that I know that I know that it's time to move on. I haven't lost my talent, but the grace to do this is being lifted away from me. And so we're excited about the next phase of our lives..

"Line four row from Boston. Guys, what's going on? First of all, I want to give a shout out to the split zone duo Discord. Everyone's very excited over there following along. And I'm calling from the spiritual home of college football, Logan airport. So this is my question, guys. I'm a Florida fan. Florida in September has three teams with high aspirations that are also ranked higher than them and SP plus. Utah, Kentucky, and Tennessee. What kind of a September should a Florida fan be psychologically preparing for in year one of Napier? I think Raoul, thank you for the call. I think if you listen to what Billy Napier has signaled kind of implicitly, a little bit explicitly, cool thy jets. Chill. We got a rebuild coming in. I know you want the hot tub, but we gotta get the drywall up, all right? So I think that September, September could be rough, but if we set the bar low enough, I mean, I don't think anybody expects Utah to be anything, but utter hell for 60 minutes. That is a physical team. They are mean. And they have an established quarterback. That's something that Florida still has to break game with. Anthony Richardson. Yeah, I think Billy Napier is trying to set expectations. I'm not saying set expectations low. I'm just trying to say set sort of a timeline on when Florida's expectations may be able to be met. It is not going to happen next year. It's just not. As far as where Florida fans want to go. And I know that may be frustrating for Florida fans to hear because it's been so long. But it's not, we just sat here and talked about how a and M can sign one number one recruiting class and still have quite a ways to go. You just fired a guy in part because he struggled to recruit. There is infrastructure that needs to be built. I'm not talking about NIL. I'm talking about behind the scenes, really Napier, hiring, hiring a bunch of people. You've got to make sure all the people that you're hiring, the systems that you're putting in place in your organization. You got to make sure those work. Before we even talk about what it looks like on the field. Yep, because if you've got to replace somebody, you want to do it sooner rather than later. It's one of the things that eventually caught up with Dan Mullen at Florida. Hey, that's a lot of Florida talk. We're going to do a little bit more because voice of the Gators, just the third in the history of the program. Mick Hubert will be joining us after the break as he is signing off from his illustrious tenure as the voice of the Gators. Also more calls after.

You got to get through. You got to get those big man on the West Coast. You need some big men out there. Time for Birmingham. Welcome to the show. Yeah, I'm on airs. I'm Tom, a rehab of Stein bumps, old stomping ground. I've lived here 32 years that I grew up here. It's been great. Primarily because college sports is king. And I love college sports. So it's great to live in a Birmingham, not too far from Tesco. Lucy, or I went to law school. I talked to your doing a great job. You guys, we're welcome you. Paul needs a break and that's great. But I've been a long time listener, Paul and he's great too. And enjoy it. But what I told you and you cut me off, it's like we've had several callers who have voiced that opinion. I have my opinions about this controversy between Sabin and Fisher. And I'll just tell you my thoughts and if they've already been said, you say, look, somebody has already said that. And then I'll move on to .2. .2 has to do with Miami. And the future under crystal, I think after many meteor for years, they get the best arguably recruiter in the countries of course, I'm going to Alabama follower, but I'm taking up for Jimbo here. And what the exchange in some ways and how this can be brought to an end. If you've already heard that, I'll just move on to crystal ball. There's been a lot of there's been a lot of Miami sniping on this. I know. A lot of my guy who hates Alabama, JK. It's like, look, you features bright, man. You got the best recruiter in the country. He's a good coach, but he recruits and four or 5 years. It will be right up there and there are number one. Just be patient. You'll see improvement this season. It's just like Saban when he first came. He didn't win always games. It took till 2010 now. It took him three years, full years, he won the national championship, January of 2011. And then their persistent number one, they lost two games, which I sort of lost in South Carolina. Give me a break. And the last auburn that year, Cam Newton auburn, they had a 24 point lead. It was painful to watch. I disagree. I thought that was I thought that was quite a technique, but Tom were up against it, all right? I appreciate you calling in. Tom, by the way, had like a real sort of dramatic voice. Yeah, I like that. Like a history. Like a history podcast, like a slow build. We've talked a lot about Miami, but Miami faces the challenges that I think a lot of people outside of the SEC and the Big Ten face, which is getting big men and skilled players in the same place at the same time. Sometimes get one, some teams get the other. If you can get guys along the line and a solid quarterback, which is the thing that Miami hasn't had. Like, we'll see. Tyler Van Dyke. I know. He's coming on. I like him, but we got to prove it. Well, Ross Ross dellinger of sports illustrator who we had on earlier in the show made this point. This, all these teams sort of making the most chatter about NIL right now, are these programs that have been also rans in the recent past, yet have a pass that goes a little bit farther back that has quite a little bit of success in the 80s and the 90s, Tennessee, Miami, a and M a and M a little bit further back in the 80s in the 90s. But they have at least some sort of success and they are trying like all hell to get back to that. And in so doing, they are making the most noise on their way there. Which is what I think is interesting about this whole subplot here. Yeah, let's go ahead and take another call. Line four. Line four row from Boston. Guys, what's going on? First of all, I want to give a shout out to the split.

Russia Wants to Cut off Humanitarian Aid in Western Ukraine
"There is a Australian major general retired named Mick Ryan. And he has been writing about the war since begun, and I've enjoyed his work, and I think it's pretty thorough. And he said, last week, the Russians fired long-range missiles from aircraft to attack targets in and around the cities of lviv in the Russian strikes on east western demonstrate western cities according to this major general demonstrate that the Russians are trying to avoid casualties on the ground. And as a result, are inflicting all sorts of damage, to buildings, and targeting civilians. The western part of Ukraine is the strategic bastion for the Ukraine's military. And is a place also where the humanitarian supply are coming in. And so more of the Russian missiles are aiming towards western Ukraine. To prevent the humanitarian missions and prevent rearmament.

"Now, no change in force posture for about 5000 U.S. troops in Poland following the air strikes on that military trainings that are just inside Ukraine and Russia has still not achieved air superiority over Ukraine. Now, as I mentioned, there is one country of NATO Estonia who is urging a no fly zone to my knowledge. It is the only one I could be wrong about that. Now, an Australian major general named Mick Ryan is also been writing about the war and I've also been impressed with his reporting. And he says Russia has committed now 55% of their total regular ground forces to the invasion of Ukraine, which he says was a tactical risks. While there are forces still in Russia for reinforcements, they're either on missions in training or of lower quality. It is a strategic risk. Russia has employed a large portion of its ground combat in a single mission that it clearly hoped would be over quickly. It was a calculated risk. It was a gamble and apparently it is not paying off. The idea, now plan

That Ukraine military would be quickly defeated. At the west would remain fragmented and would not interfere with his invasion. He was wrong on all three assumptions.

"As for the interior, it was a contemporary cathedral. Sacred to the pursuit of retail opportunity. There was a food mall, a clothing avenue, an entertainment hall. There were wings, dedicated to white goods. All your domestic requirements satisfied. Pampering, full body tan in minutes. And financial services. Consolidate your debts. Ask us how. There was a boulevard of sporting goods a bridle way of gardening supplies, a veritable Hatton garden of jewelers. No franchise ever heard of went unrepresented, and several never before encountered had multiple outlets. White oaks delicatessens carried sweet meats from as near as abbotsbury, and as far as zevo chizza. Its bookshops shelved volumes by every author its reader could imagine from Bill Bryson to Jeremy Clarkson. The shopper who is tired of white oaks, it might easily be asserted. Is a shopper? Who is tired of credit? During the summer, light washed down from the recessed contours of its cantilevered ceilings and during the winter, it did exactly the same. Temperature two was regulated and constant and in this it matched everything else. At white oaks, you could buy raspberries in winter and tinsel in July. Seasonal variation was discouraged as an unnecessary break on impulse purchasing. Which is not to say that white hoax ignore the passage of the year. Rather, it measured the months in a manner appropriate to its customers needs. That's surely as Father's Day follows mothers as unalterably as Harry Potter gives way to the great pumpkin, time marches on. It's inevitable progress, registering as peaks and troughs in a never ending flow chart. But there are only 17 major feasts in the calendar of the complete retail experience. And the greatest of these is Christmas. And white oaks, Christmas, slipped in slowly, subliminally, with the faint rustle of a paper chain in early September and the echo of a jingle bell as October turn. Showing almost saintly restraint, however, it did not unleash its reindeer until Halloween had been wholly remaindered. After that, it was open season. Taking full advantage of its layout, a complex boasted 8 Santa's grottoes one per tentacle. Each employing a full complement of slay, sacks, elves, snowflakes, friendly squirrels, startled rabbits, and counterintuitively, but fully validated by merchandise profiling, talking zebras. And, of course, each had its own Santa. Or more accurately, each had an equal share in a rotating pool of santas. For the 8 santas hired annually by the white oaks festive governance committee, had swiftly worked out that no single one of them wanted to spend an entire two month hitch marooned in haberdashers backwater. Or were still abandoned under fire in the high pressure noise intensive combat zone of toys and games. While another took his ease in the food hall, pampered with cake and cappuccino by the surrounding franchisees. So, a complicated, but workable shift system had been established by the santas themselves, whereby they chopped and changed each two hour session, swapping grottoes, three times a day, and generally sharing the burden along with the spoils. This worked so well. So much to everyone's satisfaction that the first 8 santas hired by the governance committee remained the only Santa's white oaks needed, returning year after year to dawn their uniforms attached their beards and maintain an impressive 83% record of hardly ever swearing at children whose parents were in ear shot. Santa Ying was not an easy undertaking. It was not a task for sissies. And while the usual santas didn't always do things by the book, by God, they got the job done. And each year, once they'd managed, just that, after the shops and lowered shutters on Christmas Eve and white oaks, slumbered preparatory to the boxing day rush, the Santa's met in a hospitality room adjoining the security suite and relaxed over a buffet provided by the grateful merchants of the quarter and exchanged war stories until the hour grew late and generally luxuriated in the absence of children. But however relaxed, they grew, they kept their beards on, and remained zipped inside their red suits, and never addressed each other as anything other than Santa. And, in fact, would have been unable to do so and they wanted. Because while they might, for all they knew, be friends and neighbors and city street might drink in the same pub or regularly catch the same bus to the same football ground. On duty, they remained in uniformed.

"And begin. The usual santas. By Mick, Heron. Why oaks? The brochures explained. Was more than a shopping center. It was a day out for the whole family. A complete retail experience under just one roof. It was an ideally situated outlet village and ultra convenient complex with an ultra modern consumer. It was where quality met design to form an affordable union. It might have been a stately pleasure dome. It was possibly a garden of earthly delight. It was almost certainly where capital letters went to die. More precisely, it was on the outskirts of one of London's northwest satellite towns and viewed from above, resembled a glass and steel rendering of a giant octopus dropped head first onto the landscape. In the gaps between its outstretched tentacles are parks and play areas and public conveniences and at each of its two main entrances were garages, offering in addition to the usual services, full valley coverage, four wheel alignment and diagnostic analysis, as well as free air, and at last minute one stop shop. Cart stations, colored pennants hoisted above them for swift location, were positioned at those intervals market research had determined user friendly and were assiduously attended by livery cart jockeys. From ten minutes before dusk until ten after daybreak, the area was bathed in a gentle orange light. The quiet humming of CCTV cameras are constant reminder that your security was white oaks concern. And in a hedged off corner between the center's electricity substation. And one of four home delivery loading bays, perhaps the only point in the complex to which the word accessible did not apply lurked a furtive row of.
