That's 503-225 0-860.

Like to thank all the staff and also Ryan Gable for us. I got a nasty cough a couple days ago

couldn't get rid of it. It's lingering a little bit, but it's better. Yeah, I feel a lot better.

So I'm glad that you're able to stick it out and you're here with us tonight we're live

which is a good thing and I really miss work I don't like being sick I don't like being sick. I don't like snowstorms. I don't like

things that keep me from getting to the office. And sometimes that happens and the

only reason why I probably stayed home was because my wife said you're about to turn 60,

you can't keep acting like you're 17.

And so I took her advice.

And but then she ended up getting the cough so I felt bad about that.

But anyway we're better things are better and we're glad that you stuck it out with us

because you know who knows what next will happen I mean it just seems to be like

2024 has always been this it's just been crazy and you know and and due to the fact that we have well radio shows like mine and others and

we have television we got news images and their impact on an audience. It becomes easily, well increasingly easier to distract people from the facts and frame the narrative in a way that spins a lie or conspiracy

theory to implicate someone or to create a scapegoat.

And from Bayer's social media takes over and while it can be used as a magnifying glass for a frame narrative provided by the mainstream.

It's countered by other conspiracy theories, other conspiracy yarns that are compelling and complex.
