0:30.0	Okay, here we go. The rare Friday afternoon podcast. That's right. It is Friday, March 26th,
0:54.6	2021 BK here. Of course, thanks everybody for checking out the podcast coming at you guys from
1:00.6	San Diego, California. As we get started here about 204 in the afternoon. Yeah, like I told you
1:07.4	guys last week, there was a possibility could be a Friday podcast and indeed it is so go ahead and
1:14.2	follow me on social media and check out my Twitter for breaking news throughout the week at Bravo
1:19.8	Kilo actual and check out that Instagram at BK actual and why don't we get started by talking
1:26.3	about this giant cargo ship that's been blocking the Suez Canal now like pretty much all friggin
1:33.2	week and I can't get enough of this story. This is insane and this has been up up in the Suez Canal
1:43.2	since Tuesday and now they're saying this could take weeks to get out and I can't get enough
1:49.5	of the memes that you guys are probably seeing all the memes going around like like one of the

2:27.4	on Tuesday. So the bow is lodged in the canal's eastern bank and the stern is in the western bank
2:34.5	and they're trying they're throwing everything at this thing. Eight large tugboats were attempting
2:39.0	to push and drag the ship from where it's stuck in there. Again, but with the ship stretching
2:45.9	about 1,300 feet long and weighing about 200,000 metric tons dislodging it is a huge challenge.
2:57.6	So they've been working on it pretty hard. They thought they might have had it on Thursday,
3:02.0	but it did not work and they're bringing in all kinds of specialized dredgers and everything else.
