Hey everybody, I'm here in the Hudson River Valley with Beckett and Beckett's dad,

and we were just passing by a bird that was really loud and Beckett's dad had something interesting to say about it. Did you just fly away? Yeah, I think we scared it. Oh my God. Well, why don't you explain what it was? I'm pretty sure it was a Carolina Wren, which is a little tiny bird that has a really loud call. Uh-huh.

And it's called Carolina Wren because it's from down near John Kimball.

It didn't used to be up this far until maybe 20 years ago, 30 years ago.

Because of... The big C.C.

Climate change.

Yeah.

And now Beckett, the original tiny centrist, is going to imitate the call of the Carolina Wren. Do you know how to do it? No. Oh. I was like, but... Okay, well, that's not what it sounded like, but... All the... I have so many windows popping up. God, yeah. Come, what the fuck. Look at this telling me I would... No. Let me close all these windows first. Riverside is... It's in shittification. Yeah. And also, we have to stop sending the episodes via We Transfer because apparently we transfers, new terms of use says that anything... No, no, no. Anything that's sent to them they can use in any way they want and monitor. Is that not true? No, that is true.

And that's just how everything is written these days.

So we don't have to switch our file transfer protocol?

No, they're not going to do anything with our stuff.

But they can do that.

You know, America's going through a process of insidification, too.

It's an app that soon will not work. Hmm. Hmm. Do you think? Spicy perspective from the Masters of Insight. It's election profit makers. My name's David. I'm joined on the line by John. Hey, buddy. I'm back after my East Coast travels, thanks to all the friends old and new that I saw along the way. John, two weeks ago during our last episode, we made a bet for $20. Do you remember what that bet was about?

That Jeffrey Epstein would no longer be in the news. Correct. You bet he would not be in the news because according to your jaded, I've seen it all, blue sky 24-7 attitude,

soon everyone to be sick of this story. And there would be high, we wouldn't hear a peep

about Jeffrey Epstein two weeks hence. Is that what I said that we wouldn't hear a peep?

I think I just said that this story doesn't have legs. It's not going to grow in importance.

It's story doesn't have legs and it's not going to grow. Well, John, I'm here to tell you.

It's the biggest story on Earth.

That you owe me $20 because the story has legs and those legs keep getting longer and longer,

just like Captain Fantastic and Marvel's new movie Fantastic Four.
