| 0:00.0 | Are we doing quiet riot? |
| 0:01.8 | We sure are, Jerry. |
| 0:03.0 | Nice. |
| 0:03.7 | Middle health will drive. |
| 0:05.2 | Judas Priest may be coming up next. You never know. You never know. That is very true. 80s middle. I guess the Long Island Railroad strike is over. Okay. Dun, da-dan, ta-da-da-da-da-on. I live in New Jersey, so he wasn't even paying attention to it. Yeah. Well, I just saw, I see it's over, but it's not like they're not back to work today. |
| 0:27.1 | Oh, okay. |
| 0:28.2 | And I enjoyed this tweet from one Sean Morash from the midday program. |
| 0:32.8 | Okay. |
| 0:33.7 | He wrote, the Long Island Railroad employees could spend all day eating deli sandwiches and walking in circles holding signs but can't be at work by the morning rush question mark. |
| 0:43.8 | They just want an extra day. |

| 1:11.6 | Perhaps. |
| 1:12.1 | I don't think it's about eating deli sandwiches and just walking around. Well, it's just funny. Well, this point is, like, they were prepared to go out this morning and hold signs. Sure. But they're not prepared to go out and go to work. Right. And I think part of that would be if it's not finalized, what if something happens, then you just worked for free today. |
| 1:29.9 | Well, you would get paid. |
| 1:31.0 | Eventually. Right. And I think part of that would be if it's not finalized, what if something happens, then you just worked for free today. |
| 1:29.7 | Well, you would get paid. Eventually. But what if it breaks down and the strike goes on? |
| 1:36.0 | It's exactly what happened with the TSA stuff. People were, they didn't know. Now, some people did go to work, not knowing when they were going to get paid. I give them a lot of credit. |
