| 0:00.0 | Good. Good. What is it Wednesday morning? I see Stephen, but again, Stephen, you're slacking. You were third. No. No, he was first. |
| 0:12.7 | It shows up his third for me. We have the pre show going. There's Joel. How you doing? Joel, you're alive right now. Were you swimming? No. He was praying. I was praying. Everything's running late this morning. I'll tell you why in a minute. Well, everyone's here looking at you now. So say hi. This is my morning ritual. I told you I do the five things every day, right? Prayer is one of them. |
| 0:43.7 | And I got to get the morning prayer in before 10 a.m. Eastern or 10 a.m. Pacific, wherever I am. |
| 0:45.8 | I was in California yesterday. |
| 0:46.8 | I'm in D.C. today. |
| 0:52.4 | And D.C. makes L.A. look good. |
| 0:53.6 | And that's not saying much. |
| 0:54.6 | What? |
| 0:57.2 | The infrastructure here is so terrible. |
| 1:05.8 | So I get in, my flight's delayed, I come in a BWI, take an Uber to the house where we're living and miss the school bus. |

I said, I'll just drive you to the train station. You know what? We'll all go together because I've got to take my son to his daycare, which is a few metro stops away. So we get to the train.

| 1:37.3 | make us wait 10 minutes. Then they tell us actually the train's out of service. But we've already |

| 1:45.8 | So I tell my wife and her intern, I say, why don't you guys just go take an Uber downtown? |
| 1:52.2 | Now, going on the roads in D.C. and rush hour traffic into town is a total nightmare, |

| 1:59.9 | So now they're in an Uber going downtown. And then meanwhile, I say, oh, there's no alternative because there's no train. So now they're in an Uber going |
| 2:01.9 | downtown. And then meanwhile, I say, oh, there's a bus. There's a bus going back to the metro |
