All right, guys. We are recording this at about 10 p.m. Pacific after enduring a speech that will go down in history is the longest state of the union ever delivered by a president.

One hour and 47 minutes, congrats to Donald Trump on beating the previous record holder, also Donald Trump.

We're going to get into all the gory details, but let's start with some general reactions.

What did you guys think? Dan?

Speech was a crime.

Speach is a crime. Yeah. It was a speech crime. It was a rhetorical crime, a crime. Speech is a crime. Yeah.

It was a speech crime.

It was a rhetorical crime, political crime. Just really stole people's time. Yeah. Time crime. A time crime. Pre-crime. Yeah. Yeah, it was mostly long and forgettable. It was kind of my takeaway.

just do the show while the speech was still going so we didn't even see the end and we're better

for it and honestly we didn't miss anything.

Honestly, if we had gone 40 minutes before it end, we probably wouldn't have missed anything. I don't really get what he was trying to do here other than set the record for the longest speech. Well, so the first 30, 40 minutes was like basically Trump hosting his own award show. There was a combo of that, so he's, you know, he's, he's given out awards to everyone.
