Hello there. It is Eric Erikson here. I am delighted to have you with me. The phone number is 8779373425. I told you all yesterday it's the hope that kills.

That's the phrase made popular in Ted Lassow, the TV show on Apple TV Plus.

You know, I got to say, I want to talk about the streaming services today.

There are some stories out about it.

My gosh, there are so many and it's so confusing.

But Ted Lassow was good.

I thought the second season got weird and I kind of gave up.

The first is great though, but there are some intriguing shows on, on Apple TV

plus that are catching on in the movies like Coda.

I haven't seen it.

I don't know a person who, uh, dislikes Coda.

It's apparently a fantastic movie.

Uh, nonetheless, the hope that kills you, you start hoping for things and those things don't turn out.

They don't go the way you want.

There is a new breed of opinion piece coming out in media outlets, it is things aren't that bad for the

Democrats actually the polling suggests they might be able to advance the polling

suggests really it's not terrible and I told you all yesterday this was going to happen.

That in addition to the Democrats have found the right strategy and the polling, actually,

you're looking at it wrong.

Beyond that, what they were going to do.

And I gave a shout out to my friend Mike Krimpasky, who's the one who pointed it out to me,

the next thing they were going to do is they were going to start saying, oh, we've got a good ground game.
