All right, cut him at 5.08, we'll drink and toast with a show of the day.

And we do have your headlines on the way of 550.

But first quick check on with Mike Hawke and some of the stories and headlines, he is not working on. Hang on, there we are. Okay. Well, thank you, Miles. Sure. I didn't unmute myself. I'm sorry. I'm not used to that part. Pay attention to kids. A new study found that when a mother disapproves of a best friend,

the friendship is actually more likely to end. Hmm. Did you guys ever have a friend that your parents didn't like? I always bring up, I had one buddy, and he was not a bad dude at all. Like, I had some friends that were up to no good. My mom just had it in her head.

She didn't like this guy.

I mean, we stayed friends.

But that's the only one that was, I mean, my mom, I don't, my mom, that was a bad call at her. I never had that. I had one friend that I brought over that while we were goofing off, created a little bit of, I won't say drama,

but his humor was not exactly what my family was used to and kind of created a little bit of a rift.

I haven't talked to the dude in a long, long time, honestly since we like changed.

He was like a friend in middle school and we went to high school and i haven't heard from him since uh but that i mean that one ended

yeah because i mean like there was definitely a couple buddies or guys i played sports with

like my parents weren't big on but they were right they were kind of idiots but yeah my one

friend from high school i don't know why my mom was just convinced he was up to no good. I'm like, he's like the best dude. Right, right. Did you believe your mom when she told you that he was up to no good? No. I think it was, you know what it was, Mike? It was more that he had friends. We all went on a trip once. his friends were up to no good. And therefore,

guilt by association. Correct. But John himself was a great dude. I mean, he played hoops

at Boston University. Now he's a, I think he's a principal or something with four kids. He said,

he was always an upstanding guy, but she was just like, I don't know about him. And I'm like,

mom, it wasn't him. It was the two idiot friends who we rarely hung out with. And honestly, that dude, my dad was the one that had an issue. But my mom, if she had an issue with any of my friends, I don't remember her ever saying it. Yeah, me too. That's exactly what I was thinking. They might have thought it, but they just did not say anything. Sure. Steve? I was always the worst one in my group, so it didn't matter. I mean, honestly, like my parents were like everyone I hung out with, even Leon, you know, the brutality of this man, they're still like, yeah, but he's not you. So... Damn. Yeah. And they were right.

Right.

If we're going to get into trouble, it's probably me.

I mean, look, Tony was a close second, but somehow he bedazzled my mother into believing that he was simply... He's more of an... He was, man. Yeah. Hey, Mrs. Hill. I'm like, look, man, this dude might have blood on his hands, but she wouldn't believe it if it were on video.

Hey, as long as you know. this is who? I'm like, look, man, this dude might have blood on his hands, but she wouldn't

believe it if it were on video. Hey, as long as you know where to mind your P's and Q's, you're good to go. Well, you know, that's exactly it. That's exactly it. Yeah, I know, unfortunately, as you say, Mike, unfortunately in your adult life, sometimes it takes a couple years to be like, wait
