Okay. Welcome to the show everybody. Feeling feeling pretty good today personally. My my Baltimore Ravens demolished the Rams last night. I'm on a football.

I don't know if you watched that and you know, I was thinking last night as I was watching as I was watching it all unfold on top of everything else.

I love how the the Ravens are named after an Edgar Allen Poe poem because Poe lived in Baltimore, died in Baltimore.

He also married his 13 year old cousin in Baltimore, which we don't really talk about that part of it. That that that part we leave to the side.

But the point is that bottom the bottom of Raven refers obviously to the poem the Raven, which is why their mascots the Raven mascots are named Edgar Allen and Poe so it's very subtle.

And I remember when when the Ravens came to Baltimore in 1995 when we stole the team from Cleveland, which which was fine because our team had been stolen from by Indianapolis in the 80s.

And so we turned around and stole our team from Cleveland and you know, Ferris Fair. If you if you get your something stolen, you can steal from the next person. That's the way it goes in America.

And and anyway, so there was a poll of vote to see, you know, what we would name the new team and everybody in this city was voting.

And I think as a kid at the time, I wanted something like the dragons, you know, something fierce like the dragons or the butchers, the Baltimore butchers. That would have been good.

But the nerds wanted a 19th century literary reference and they won. And and I was mad at the time, but I appreciate it now because now that I'm older and I'm a nerd myself.

I really appreciate the literary reference every time I watch football. Great stuff. Okay, speaking of nerds, Pete Buttigieg, he's a nerd, which which I mean is a compliment smart guy, obviously road scholar.

I don't know if you heard about the fact that he's a road scholar. So we're only reminded of that every time he does a debate. But probably the most talented politician, the Democrats have right now.

And that I don't that's not that's half a compliment and half an insult.

I think he's wrong about everything. I also think that he's cynical and manipulative, especially in how he slanders Christians while pretending to be one.

So I'm not a fan of his by any stretch of the imagination, but he is smart and he's good at what he does. It's a political candidate.

But he was trending on Twitter this morning in a not so positive way. In fact, the phrase Pete Buttigieg is a lying MF was trending.

And that's about as bad of a trend as you can get, I think as a as a political candidate. That's the title of an article in the root.

And it's an article that just blasts away at Buttigieg calling him a lying mother blank, basically painting him as nothing more than a lucky privilege spoiled lying brat essentially.

And taking issue and this of course is from the left. This is an attack on him from the left. Taking issue mainly with something that he said about about something he said about eight years ago while he was running for mayor of South Bend.

And he was talking about disadvantaged kids and the education system. And anyway, they taking issue with with what he said and take a listen to it right here.

You know, the kids need to see evidence that education is going to work for them. Right. So you see a lot of parts that's part of the motivation. Yeah, because you're motivated because you believe that at the end of your educational process there's a reward, there's a stable life, there's a job.

And there are a lot of kids, especially the lower income minority neighborhoods who literally just haven't seen it work. There isn't somebody they know personally.
