The Bird Show.

I want to talk for a few minutes about, and I asked for phone calls, and this will be a situation where only one phone call is all we need.

Okay.

About M.A.

And her recent performance at, what was it, the Grammy Awards a week ago.

Yeah, at the Grammys. She performed on her due date at the Grammys. And then just had the baby, had a little boy. And she is scheduled, what, next Saturday, you said? She's scheduled for Sunday night to perform at the Oscars. Okay. Because there's this song called Osaya that's on the Slim Dog Millionaire soundtrack that she performs.

So she's going to be there to perform that.

So. Isn't that amazing?

Here's the thought that somehow this came up in conversation, I think, during one of our after show meetings. And we know there's these people out here. It's just a matter of

getting them to admit it. Is there anyone listening

who, and I think this is a combination of the MIA story and then that phone call we took a week

or two ago about the woman who had to fire somebody? Is there anyone listening who intentionally

will not hire a woman who is of childbearing years? Oh, yeah. Because now we see what MIA can do. We can, you know, we can give you a fair amount of grief because it is possible to be just as productive and, you know, take care of business. If you're having a healthy pregnancy. Right. And you're not on doctorered bed rest or whatever else could happen.

Right.

And we're just looking for someone.

I think it would be most shocking if it was a female,

but who is prepared to admit that they would not hire a woman of childbearing years.

Just that age.

Like maybe it's somebody who's just gotten married and planning to start a family. Yep. Or maybe

you've gotten burned by that in the past. You know where you bring somebody in to be part of.

Yeah. Yeah. Explain childbearing years. You're talking about her situation in her life. Are you talking

about you're just not going to hire anybody in their 20s and 30s? No, I think if it's a pretty big window.
