And then in the new year, me and Robbie the Fire Bernstein are coming to a city near you.

Go to ComicDabesmith.com. We'll be traveling the country, bringing stand-up comedy shows all

and then we'll be out in Portland, Oregon, taken over, making it kicking all the lefties out,

and we're making it a libertarian paradise this year in Portland.

Give us some time, but we'll get back to you.

All right. So I wanted to spend today's show, or at least a lot of it, on this very, very interesting story coming out of Minnesota, which is evidently the capital of Somalia. And it is, there's, look, I guess I should say

there's been, this is not a brand new topic. There's been a lot of talk about the level of fraud

in Minnesota for a while now. But this guy, Nick Shirley, really kind of shook up

this whole conversation. And so I almost like, just four people who are not aware of the story,

maybe just like giving a little bit of background here. But there's what's really interesting about this is that it's not just the fraud itself.
