What's up?

Butter Cups?

Welcome to Mean Age Daydream with me, Brian McWilliams.

I thought it's I'm coming in so late and so hot because I've just had a day of hell.

It's so stressful to the point where I forgot that Streamyard did this crazy crap where they don't. it's like I hit something and now it's in a square instead of the full screen. It's really aggravating. I didn't have time before the show to mess with it and correct it. So I apologize, guys. It is what it is. But we are here. We're together. We can be thankful. I don't know how many people are even going to watch this show,

this late breaking show, because I don't know how many of you have kids out there that are like

me where your kids have just been off school for the whole week, which seems abusive if you're

paying for public schooling and you have to work and you're paying for daycare

and all these other things. And look, I don't want universal anything. To be very clear,

my daycare was open Monday, Tuesday because we chose a daycare with our money, our hard

spent money that is open. The public schools, and I don't remember this ever growing up, ever.

Closed all week, all week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

Now, when I was in school, back in PA, I remember getting a half day on Wednesday.

And then you got Thursday and Friday off.

To expect people, especially in today's environment where we have been bent over a barrel by these

special interests, by the inflationary processes, by regulations, by massive spending overseas,

by COVID bailouts, where everything cost 75% more than it did 10 years ago,

the public school teachers are like, you know, we don't care. Sorry, yeah, we know you have to work.

We know you have to work. We don't care. And now we're going to strike a year and a half from now

for higher wages and add, you know, more administrative staff that do nothing. And meanwhile, get out there, try to get your job done, try to, try to do work, try to make money while your kids are home. And there's no camps open either. I try to put like, I'm a kid to camp. No, no kids. So I'm frustrated. I'm angry, but I am here for you people, even if it's late.

My earbuds in because I, my kids are outside and I just, I've tried not to be distracted.

They may interrupt me.
