Good morning. Good morning everybody. Happy Wednesday, August the 10th. How are you doing?

How was that coffee tasting this morning? Did you stay off the internet yesterday like

I said? I hope you did. I hope you listened. Gert did you stay up last night and watch the twins?

They're on a road trip on the on kill. I cannot speak this morning. Road tripping in California,

so the game is at like nine o'clock and I'm already in bed going to sleep so woke up. They're tied

for first place now. They lost. That's a good season. That's a good season.

All right, folks. We got a I'm actually recording earlier than usual today.

So you may wake up in the podcastes out and you're like, what the heck's going on?

Got a little business meeting coming up. So I got to do the show early today.

Okay. Big day today, though, we have the CPI numbers coming out and inflation numbers.

We'll talk about that here in a little bit. But first, we got to get to our national holidays,

all right? So jumping right into it. August 10th is Agent Orange Awareness Day.

You guys know how I feel about awareness days, but Agent Orange, a lot of those people,

I think they still deal with it. If they haven't been, uh,

haven't been taken out by it in the early 1960s. Americans use the herbicide in Vietnam to

clear thick foliage and battlegrounds. And it's not very good for you. Turns out.

World Lion Day, National Connecticut Day, National Shapewear Day,

National Smores Day, National Lazy Day.

Hmm, it's more sound pretty good.

National Connecticut Day, and the lazy day gets your ass off the couch.

Get your ass off the couch. It could mean a millennial.

Shit. You got stuff to do. Get to work, man. Start setting your family up.
