| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome to Weekends with Anika Sparion and Nando Vila. Kyle is our super producer. He's on the |
| 0:24.7 | news. I said Kyle. Oh my God. Kale. Kale. My bad. I'm not in my A game today. How long have you been doing this show? |
| 0:32.4 | No, no, no. That was my one here. Come on. Come on. Come on. What do you do address this? What happened? What happened there? Kyle? |
| 0:39.5 | I don't know. I really don't get it. How long have we been doing this? I'm sorry. I misspoke. I misspoke. I was |
| 0:51.2 | actually looked to be honest with you. As we were coming in, I was reading a text message from Ben |
| 0:57.1 | Burgess who is apparently staying with you, Kale. Yeah. He's like 20 feet away from me right now. So I don't |
| 1:03.3 | know. I don't know. People are saying that they love the Burgess. People are saying, so maybe later for |
| 1:08.5 | the super chat section, you can join us. I don't know. I'm not saying anything. I'm just, how do you |
| 1:12.9 | get from that to Kyle? I was reading his text message to me and Nando stating that he's staying with |
| 1:21.2 | you. As we went live, and then I got flustered and said, Kyle, like it just came out as Kyle. So |
| 1:25.8 | that's, you know, that's what happens. One would call this a slip. We'll do a full set. We'll |
| 1:32.8 | do an analysis in the Q&A later. We should do a 20 minute decode on it for sure. Yeah. But anyway, |
| 1:39.7 | everyone, thank you for joining us. We will be answering your super chat questions later in the |
| 1:44.7 | show. We're also going to have a fantastic episode today where Nando, I don't know what your |
| 1:52.4 | decode segment is going to be on. What are you talking about today? I'm talking about the Havana |
| 1:56.1 | syndrome. Nice. Nice. Havana syndrome making another appearance on the show today because we've |
| 2:03.7 | talked about it before. But in the context of like a salt segment where we pretty much made fun of |
| 2:09.4 | it. So I think a deeper dive is definitely necessary. I'll be talking about the corporate |
| 2:15.6 | Democrats in the banter segment of the show. We'll talk about how three corporate Democrats in |
| 2:21.4 | the House voted in their committees to defeat the provision in the reconciliation bill that would |
| 2:28.0 | allow for Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies. It's |
| 2:33.6 | infuriating. And I'll give you the details in just a moment. And then later in the program, I'll also |
