All right, what are we waiting for? Hello, who's the charge? Good. Good. You should totally just stay there till you run out of money.

Till you run out of money.

Hey everybody, I'm Kyle Rizzo. Welcome back to Make Me Smart. Making today make sense is what we do in this podcast.

Really glad you decided to listen today.

Yeah, I'm Mary El Segara and today is How It Out Show Thursday. So we are going to share some news stories and some Make Me Smiles and then we'll be on our way.

How are you, okay?

You know, I, well, so look, let's be honest. I'm not as good as you for reasons that we'll get into in a moment because I'm not sitting on a beach.

But, but look, today was, today was, oh God, I feel stupid saying this, but it was really hard because

look, there's a land we're happening in Europe for the first time in 80 something years and it's just it's a big, big deal. It's a big deal globally. It's a big deal in news, which is, you know, our chose an occupation.

And then it's, it's one of those stories and I don't expect anybody to, you know, feel bad for me. But on days like this, it's always tricky hosting marketplace because

it's the global story, right? It is the global story and people are dying and there's a war going on and yet you have to figure out what our slice of it is. And there's, there's, you know, this is a global economic story, right? Because

the global economy is going to slow down, interest rates globally are going to go up. We're going to have stagnation. Things are going to get more expensive. I mean, all of that stuff, right?

That's going to happen, but you can't really just like come right out and say that because people are dying. And so it's a little trying for me on days like this. And I don't mean to make it all about me, but

but that's kind of where my head spaces that, you know, I spent for the first time in a long time, I spent most of last night sitting there watching cable news saying, holy crap, this is actually happening. As did I'm sure a lot of people.

But then reality check. And I guess we're getting into the conversation of the news part of this podcast I suppose, but so I went to physical therapy this morning.

Because I had a certain for money and it's doing very well and I'm progressing very nicely. Thank you very much. But but as I laid down on the table and and she started, you know,

warming me up and stuff. She said, so what's going on today? And I was like, oh my God, there's a war in Europe going on today. That's all I can think about. But clearly I'm in this stupid news bubble where all I can do is consume news and everybody else.

Totally legitimately is going about their daily lives because as far as the American people are concerned, they'll they'll be really concerned in about three weeks when, you know, gas is, you know, nationally $4 gallon.

But right now it's just this thing's happening on the far side of the world. And if you know Americans, you know, the things that are happening on the other side of the world, don't often break through. And I get that. I totally get that.

There's a lot going on in this country life is busy. People are trying to get by, but holy cow. Anyway, so that was my day. I don't know. What about yours?

Well, first of all, I don't know if you can hear this. But like basically in the middle of when you were talking, someone loudly started playing music outside. I think it's mostly it was not going to come in. But it's like, you know, Spanish language music.

Pretty catchy, but hoping it doesn't end up in the recording.
