Kruser & Crew 7-6-26

National Fried Chicken Day. Now some thoughts from Conan O'Brien and David Spade. Oh, there's some Seth Myers in there, too. I forgot about him. I think you had three guys in that little comedy collage. You know, the New York situation here, this is a result of policy choices. You know, there's this business. They've got to turn off the subway escalators to save power and turn your thermostat to 78. New York shut down the Indian Point nuclear power plant back in 2021. That supplied a quarter of New York City's power. I mean, that's clean energy. What's the matter with that? No new natural gas hookups are allowed in new buildings. You can't delete that much supply without having a guaranteed... supply to back it up. And if you don't have enough renewable power to back it up, you, it just, New York has cut themselves off from power pipelines and this in this nuclear plant to where, and then no plan to replace the power they shut off. So then you get things like, well, we can't have the escalators. But then again, Taylor Swift's wedding down the street. I mean, a huge carbon footprint on that.

No, not going to keep it at 78 there, Mr. Mayor. You can, you want to. Nice to have you with us here. I hope your holiday was good. Cruiser and crew 97.3 FM and 590am. WVLK 859-253-959. That's also the number for the Stu Garminor's text line. The email address, Cruiser at WVLKAM.com. I did something over the fourth. I didn't mean to do it, but I was just there at the time. I watched the hot dog eating contest. I'd never actually watched it. Yeah, I've seen clips. I get the idea of how it's done, but I never actually sat through the whole thing. Joey Chestnut, still the goat in competitive eating. I see, I think it's disgusting. You know, now I'm not sitting here, I'm not sitting here saying get rid of it. I mean, obviously there were 5,000 of the place was packed. They said on TV about 5,000 people. I just happened to be walking by the TV. ABC did 25 hours. Did you know that? And so the TV happened to be on, this was around midday on the 4th of July, and there's David Muir who's, man, I guess if you like your anchors bulked up, if you like your anchors ripped, this Muir guy over at ABC and he is number one, I guess we want a news anchor that not just stands for America, but can kick some ass who he has to. This guy's ripped. So anyway, he's wearing, he's all bulked up and he's got his white golf shirt on and he's anchoring this covers. They did, like I said, they did 25 hours, which broke a record for ABC. I think they were out to break a record. I think 23 hours of continuous broadcasting was the record previously. And then when the job... Jim Rome takes on sports. I will always have a complicated relationship with this game. But people evolve. So do sports. Do not make me regret this. Do not make me devolve. Back to that guy that so many clones wish that I still was. And do not embarrass the entire country. Now, I can go back. I can get there fast. Lose tonight. And you got a real problem. Do not blow it. The Jim Rome Show podcast. You've been warned. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Joey Chestnut thing happened. Of course, that was going to be carried live on ESPN. And so they went over to that on ESPN. So that's how I got to watch in the thing. But I mean, some of the commentary on this thing. And then it's who was the play-by-playman? Jeremy Schnapp. That's not the son of Dixap, is it? Jeremy Shapp? I remember a Jeremy Shapp. He took over and there was a show that ESPN used to have on Sunday morning called The Sports Reporters. It was anchored for years by Dick Shapp, right? And then Dick Shapp passed away. And then John Saunders took it. John Saunders passed away. And Jeremy Snap was Dick. This isn't the same. I mean, his dad was one of the great writers and sports journalists there ever was. Jeremy, dude. And he's spewing out quotes like talking about chestnut. He makes me think of Secretariat. What? Thinking he could eat Secretariat? Or what do you think? A champion like Secretariat, the racehorse? I mean, they treat this competitive eating. I don't know that competitive eating is a sport. It's a glutton, glutton exercise, I think.

But the old competitive eating, it's like a sport. I guess they have to train. Well, yeah, I guess they have to practice jamming hot dogs and soaked up buns in their pie hole. Chestnut was pursuing a civil engineering degree. gave that up for a career in competitive eating. Now, I guess in his case, but in his case, it's paid off. But did you see, did you watch any of this? If you watched any of this, at the end of the thing, he just looked like he was in pain. He did not look comfortable at all. I mean, of course, he's still a mouth full of soggy bun and hot dog. It's just, it's disgusting. Chestnut follows a low-carb, high-protein diet. and engages in simulated eating contest to prepare for events like the Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest. Chestnut enjoys a variety of foods, including hot dogs, prime rib, Mexican food, and pasta, but once had a negative experience with cow brain tacos at a competitive eating event. Cow brain tacos. So I guess all manners of food are involved in these competitive eating challenges. I just, it's just, I think. And then you got these guys, Jeremy Shapp, I mean, God, how far has he fallen? Oh, he's, this is like secretary. I mean, they're just proclaiming how these guys are just, just great athleticism. Well, and then there's the fourth annual donut hole eating championship. See, I'd rather cram donut holes in my mouth, really, than hot dogs and buns. They do this in Louisville at, where is this? This is it, Jeff's Donuts. Oh, you got another champion here, a three Peter Jack Lagath from Cleveland, Ohio, won for the third year in a row. Three out of the four years they've had this donut hole eating championship. Jack down 91 donut holes in four minutes. I'd rather do donut holes. I'm a big sweets lover, he says, so that really sparked my interest. I think that's what sets this apart. Nobody really does donut holes. In 2024, Donut holes in four minutes. Followed that up in 2025 of 103. I was slipping a little bit, Jack 91 this year. So in case you missed that, that was it. Have we gotten so political now that flying the flag was a reflection? Well, you're MAGA.

Has that happened? I've seen some, and I just wonder if that's the case these days. If you're not excited about America's 250th anniversary because you're kind of bummed out the Trump's in office, are you flying the flag? If you're not, for that reason, does that make the flag symbolism, has that shifted some now that it's political? The flag was always to me a unifier, not a divider. And then, as I've said, there's been a lot of comparison, compare and contrast to the bicentennial, the nationwide celebration in 1976, and everything was drenched in red, white, and blue. But articles like this one from USA Today suggest that they just assume not fly the flag right now. Well, to me, it's a symbol of patriotism that goes beyond partisanship in my view. Back in April of 1976, the outfielder for the Chicago Cubs, one of them Rick Monday, rescued a flag from two protesters who wanted to burn at a Dodger Stadium. He said he had been to too many veterans hospitals to stand idly by. And then, of course, you had the – and you had – it was a great summer back in 1976 because you had the bicentennial celebration that didn't stop on July 4th that kept going through the summer. You had the Summer Olympics in August that were hosted in Montreal, and there you had Caitlin Jenner and Sugar Ray Leonard and the Spinks brothers and Edwin Moses. That seemed to be what the nation needed after Watergate and all of that. Yeah, we'd even gone through Watergate and people were still proudly, I mean, had a president resign under scandal. But now there's some concern that in our hyper-partisan political atmosphere that the flag has become political. I would hate to see that. Now, this doesn't surprise me. And of course, America 250 had all kinds of lists. And there was one poll out there. Daily News and J.L. Partners did a survey of which person best embodies the core values and principles of America. Who would be the face of the U.S.? According to this poll, it's not a politician. That doesn't surprise me because as divided as we are, how could we all agree on a politician? How could a majority of people agree that this politician is that person that's the face of the U.S.? That we want to see as the face of the U.S.? Well, no, so President Trump is not the person we want to see as the face of the U.S., but neither is Barack Obama. That distinction belongs to Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks has played a lot of military guys. You know, maybe that's part of it. I don't know, kind of every man, he's been in every kind of role. He's played a cowboy doll to a prison guard. According to the poll, Hanks' influence extends past the film world. Of course, now, Hanks is a lib. He's aligned with the Democratic Party. He's made comments negative to Trump. has referred to Trump as simplistic self-involved in a gas bag of a candidate. But he has stood for one thing that many of us agree on, and that is the United States, he says, is the promised land, the closest the world has ever gotten to a true promised land. I think he's right about that.

And, of course, he's played a lot of troops, a lot of military people in the movies. And then he's, he has made some gestures through America's second most popular beverage coffee, such as his Hanks for Our Troops coffee brand, which donates all profits to organizations serving the military, as well as a tradition of sending the White House Press Corps expensive espresso machines. Trying to impose upon the journalists to continue to keep up the fight for truth. And then the West Point Association of Graduates Board member Robert McDonald in June of 2025. Tom Hanks has done more for the positive portrayal of the American service member, more for the carrying of the American veteran, their caregivers, and their family, and more for the American Space Program and all branches of government than many other Americans. Other notable mentions in the poll. Scrolling with Haley, join Haley Caronea as she scrolls through the biggest headlines. If you haven't watched this show before, we do blind reactions. I have not seen these videos, so I am seeing them for the first time with all of you. We're going to implement the tinfoil hat time segments and all the stuff you know and love. And I'm going to finish the show and answer some of your questions. Someone asked me, what made you get into podcasting, and I was producing podcasts for other people. And I was like, I could do this for myself. And here I am. Scrolling with Haley, follow and listen on your favorite platform. Who voters want to be the face of America, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Clint Eastwood, and Bruce Springsteen. Obama and Trump were also mentioned frequently. But the number one person we wanted to see as the face was Hanks. A couple of things didn't go so well over the holiday. Well, let me mention one thing that did. Despite the fact that there was a shooting last night out of Douglas Park, we got through a long 4th of July holiday weekend with no homicides. As of yesterday, yesterday marked 150 days since Lexington's last homicide. We haven't had a homicide since February. So today's, what, 151 days? And I said there was a shooting at Douglas Park last night, but that did not result in a fatality. So how about that, huh? How about Lex? How about... I mean, and look, the city won Lexington. They deserve credit. I mean, it's a combination of, I think, advocacy and getting kids to maybe look at other alternatives rather than violence. And yeah, maybe bad aims got something to do with it. But we haven't had a homicide in 151 days and got through a hot summer holiday weekend without one. Now, not so good news. There was a Taylor County high school basketball player, shot and killed at a party early Sunday morning, about 2.30 in the morning. That's not good. 18 years old. What's going on at 2.30 in the morning? Well, trouble. Jaron Johnson, 18 years old of Campbellsville, was shot dead. P preliminary investigation showed a large party was being held at a house when a fight broke out over probably nothing. And when you realize when you think about a fact that it costs a life, it's even more troubling. that something so consequential comes out of a fight that was probably over something so little and so stupid and so foolish. A senseless tragedy and loss. In fact, even a state senator registered in on this one. Max Wise, he called it just that a senseless tragedy and a loss in a Facebook post. I got to know Jaron over the past few years as my boy's basketball teammate, an infectious smile that lit up a room and a young man with a tremendous future ahead of him, always polite, respectful, and a hard worker, true friend and teammate.

Dead after a shooting following a fight. And we talk and talk and talk about fireworks safety. There was a four-year-old kid in Manchester. I don't know a lot of details on this, but a four-year-old boy died after a tube holding fireworks fell over on him and hit him, according to the Pulaski County coroner Clyde Strunk. So a tragic loss there. Here's our question of the day at WVLKAM.com. Should Republicans in Congress pursue legislation to amend the Constitution to end birthright citizenship? That is our question of the day at WVLKAM.com. The president and some Republicans in Congress saying, well, we got to take steps to end this birthright citizenship, which would take a constitutional amendment, which probably wouldn't be passed until we're all dead, if ever. I mean, come on. We're going to get two-thirds of the Congress to agree on anything? Anything like that? Anything that has to do with immigration? You know, we may be able to agree that, well, North Korea is bad and they don't like us. But we're not going to agree on a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship. Now, these baby tourists that come in, where a foreign woman may come into this country solely for the purpose of giving birth and then leaving, that's something that the Congress may step up in terms of increasing the penalties and making that tougher. Or you could just do as Tom Cotton suggests, you know, just let this Supreme Court ruling go and continue to get out the immigrants that are here that have been criminals that have committed more crimes since they've been here and continue to enforce the southern border. That's what you do. The Supreme Court ruled, that's it. So do you want Congress to pursue legislation to either amend the Constitution or do something about birthright citizenship or just leave the Supreme Court decision alone? That's our question of the day at WVLKAM.com. From the Stuttgart Motors text line, fried chicken day, have you seen the guy who sings chicken fried? Zach Brown, he ain't much fried chicken these days. He's really shaped himself up physically. And, of course, you have all that GLP1 business out there too. How pathetic is it that so many senators and representatives have to lose a primary or decide to retire to grow a set? I guess talking about Mitch McConnell's independence. Dolly Parton is America. Cruz are talking about weird, strange sports. I was eating dinner in a sports bar last night on ESPN. There was a competition for best, wait for it, air guitar player. And get this, there was a defending champion. I missed that. And that was on the big network, right? ESPN. They didn't throw that on the deuce or, I don't know, ESPN news or something. Wow. You know, for the July got all kind of the hot dog eating content. You got a donut hole eating contest. Man. Crazy. We also had a 250 time capsule.

that every state and territory was supposed to contribute something. The state of Kentucky contributed a, and again, this is something, they're not going to dig this thing up until we're all gone. They put it in a 900-pound steel cylinder containing over 200 artifacts, records, and objects to tell America's story. And it'll be open 250 years from now in 2276. So we put in a commemorative coin from the Sons of the Revolution intended to serve as a reminder of how the American Revolution influenced Kentucky. Probably want to teach that to a few Kentucky kids, seeing as though primarily young people, but about half of them didn't even know why we celebrated America 250. Mentioned that at the beginning of the show. Colorado put in a set of postcards selected to represent, quote, what life was like in Colorado in 2026. They were the first state to pass recreational marijuana. Did you throw a joint in there? What else we got? Arizona threw in a laser nano etching of the text and signatures of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution on a coin. A challenge coin with Washington, D.C. 250 on one side and a building with flags and the mayor's name etched on the other. That came from the District of Columbia. Illinois and Alabama threw in some poems. Hawaii, we got a letter from Governor Josh Green. Okay, thank you, Governor. Iowa donated astronaut Peggy Whitson's International Space Station Medallion, which commemorates Whitsons' leadership as the first woman to command the International Space Shays Station. She gave that up, I guess, to put that in the Times capsule. Louisiana put in a bunch of beads, you know, from the Mardi Gras. Maine, a whale bone from the North Atlantic right whale. Oh, oh, by the way, speaking of Maine, big news in the Senate race up there. Now, I had seen some speculation on social media today, and I got to take that with a grain of salt or at least get that confirmed from someplace that I might trust or someone that I might trust. But there had been some movement to kind of cut off TV advertising for the Graham Platner campaign and fund reasons. I thought, ah, these may just be people that are out to get him. Well, and remember when he told you Democrats, there's nothing else that's going to come out. Well, a resident of Maine by the name of Jenny Raccott has come forward to make accusations that Graham Platner tried to rape her. This is what she told Politico. And she had correspondence with her therapist and a former date whom she told about the incident as collaboration. said that the scandal scarred Maine Senate candidate broke into her home and raped her almost five years ago. She recalled how Graham Platner entered her unlocked home after she told him she didn't want to see him. She said Graham Platner was very drunk and wouldn't take no for an answer after telling him, no, don't. And the look on his face and realizing what was happening, I just realized like I am in a situation where there's no consent here. That's what she explained to Politico of the alleged assault. She was briefly featured in a story about Graham Platner in the New York Times last month, but her sexual assault accusation against him was not mentioned in that piece. Graham Platner has denied the accusations, but he has indefinitely postponed key campaign events ahead of the bombshell story as rumors swirled that it was coming. So we'll see where that campaign goes.

Stainless steel, a stainless steel plate with greetings to the people of 2276 from the folks in New Jersey with hope that the values that guide us in 2026, liberty, opportunity, cooperation, love, and respect for one another continue to shape society. Nevada threw in gambling chips. Well, you know, okay, that kind of figures. A written reflection from New York State. That's what they threw in there. Fabric from the Wright Brothers Flight honoring the state's connection to the birth of aviation. That's what Ohio put in theirs. Pennsylvania, another letter, greetings letter from the governor. I don't know if that's very good or not. They're about a half dozen states. Just a letter from the governor. That's all that went in there. Utah put in a set of 100 paper cards with different people that shaped Utah's history. So, anyway, that's Minnesota put in their state flag. Nebraska, an archival photo of the vice grip pliers, which symbolized the state's commerce and history. Well, yeah, and an attitude. Look at these vice grieves. You don't mess with us. We put the squeeze on you. All right, so there's some of the stuff that's gone into the time capsule.

Well, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were able to get Paul McCartney to do something he had not done since 1964, and that's play this song in front of an audience. He hadn't touched it in decades. I don't know why. This was the song that helped launch Beatlemania in America. McCartney last played the song for an audience with the Beatles at the Paramount Theater in New York on September the 20th, 1964, according to setlist.fm. And so I guess he's there at the wedding with all the other big stars, and he was a performer. There were a number of performers there as well, too. And so, yeah, she got him to perform that song and play that song in a long time. She called Paul McCartney the eternally exceptional beetle. Eternally exceptional. So when's the video of the ceremony going to come out? You know they'll cash in on this deal, don't you? Now, typically a celebrity wedding, what used to sell your photos to People magazine, and they might have a big eight or ten page spread with the photos. And that'd be the end of it, but I guess now we'll probably see some sort of IMAX production. And then, I mean, there's already been wedding pictures that are gone viral, and they're not real. One image shows Taylor enjoying herself at the wedding with singer Sabrina Carpenter standing behind her the low quality and angle make it appear like a leaked photo, but it's not real. Picture. And, of course, the Swifties, they're all up in arms, and oh, where can I see the ceremony? I need more details. Oh, I bet it'll be on Netflix or in the theaters and the IMAX or something. They'll do that. And then fans are recreating the wedding look at Etsy like the embroidered wedding napkins. Embroidered handkerchief trimmed with delicate lace intertwining hearts in the couple's T&T monogram. If they have a son or daughter and name that son or daughter. With a name that starts with a letter A, they can be AT&T. Get out. Come on, Cruz. I'm here all week. So anyway, there's people going. Swifties going nuts. I guess fans went up there that weren't going to get in. I don't know what you're going to do, but they went up there for all the festivities and everything with all this. I guess she got him to sign a, well, yeah, he's going to sign a pre-up, right? Got him to sign a pre-nup, and he was bawling. Jonathan Turley, the law professor and legal analysts. I don't know what's funny. Or Taylor Swift making Travis Kelsey sign a 40-page prenuptial agreement before the wedding or Travis Kelsey crying like a schoolgirl at his wedding to the woman who made him sign a 40-page prenuptial agreement. By the way, the sister of Kansas City Chief's lineman Trey Smith caught Taylor Swiss bouquet. I got one word for you, money.

Go sell that thing. Money. Go get a Swifty money. Oh, I know. You're supposed to hang on to it. What? If you catch the bouquet, that means you're the next one to get married. And I don't even know if this woman's married or not, but that's who caught the bouquet. I think pretty much the entire Kansas City Chief's lineup was there. Somebody on the internet, I don't know if this was true or not. Oh, there was only one guy on the Kansas City Chiefs who was not invited. And it was the kicker who's a, you know, he's a real conservative Christian guy. And he probably a Trump guy. I don't know if that's true or not. But here's a question for you. What was more elaborate in terms of the aesthetics and the ceremony, the Taylor Swift wedding or the Ayatollah Kamani State funeral that's going on for days? By the way, his son, the new Supreme Leader, not at the funeral. Now, it's said that he was gravely injured during the strike that killed his father. But that funeral started up over the weekend. And, of course, the country and the, you know, in the media here, look at these massive crowds. And that's what the regime wants. The regime wants to show, hey, this is still a theocracy here and the people are still behind the Iatollahs. This is a United country. All those pictures and this, however long this is going to go on a week or I don't know how long this funeral. I think it's supposed to go on something like a week. It's just to show the world and probably the United States. Look at us. We're still stable. Still got the same regime. Still have the same leadership. I think that's what the leadership wants to show from all this. And you probably in reality have a country where, yeah, you got your diehards, your theocratic diehards, but then there's probably a whole lot of people, primarily younger people, that are very dismayed and discouraged. And we've seen that acted out to fatal excess with protesters being shot in the head. We've seen how some of the Iranians feel about their government. I just wonder which was more elaborate. in their presentation. All right, back here locally, Andy Beshear on Thursday said he's monitoring the situation with Fayette County Schools. I love this now. The state is monitoring at the Kentucky Department of Education. They're monitoring as well, too. Jennifer Ginn, Kentucky Department of Education spokesperson, as KDE monitors their financial situation. Yeah, how much monitoring were you doing in Fayette County's financial situation? Oh, I don't know, over the last 10 or 15 years? Oh, but now we're monitoring the situation. The governor's monitoring the situation. Everybody's monitoring the situation. You're a little late. Sorry. I didn't mean to get angry. You're a little late. You know, we're monitoring the final. You know, it's just like the school board trying to tell me how transparency, man, they've always been about that. Oh, God, don't. Don't sell my intelligence. Please stop it. Ellis didn't now, but the governor said this is also, this is political mumbo jumbo too. The governor said, quote, he believes it's time leadership move forward and address the current issues in a transparent way so the focus can return to the education of Lexington students. Now, does move forward mean get rid of the leadership? The spokesperson for the governor would not clarify what the governor meant by having Fayette County Public Schools leadership move forward. That's so innocuous. What does it mean? It's chin dribble. It's something I would wipe off my chin with a handkerchief.

It's a nuisance. What do you tell nothing? Would you think that, Governor, do you think that the superintendent of Fayette County Public Schools ought to move on? Yes or no? And then, oh, the KDE staff is providing regular technical assistance to Fayette County Public Schools. How is it? Somebody explained this to me. How can they not? We got this big audit from the Jefferson County Schools, and you know the mess of the Fayette County Schools. Where's the KDE? Why don't we hear from them over the course of years and, you know, we're worried about our schools. And, you know, these schools, you better get your budgeting set up. Are they doing something behind the scenes that's effective? Seems to me they're just kind of a, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're monitoring the situation. Yeah, yeah, we're on it. We're on it. Yeah, have you always been on it? And then the Fayette County School Board, I guess, tonight is going to consider whether or not they need to approve a new annual auditor. You got, let's see, you've got several audits going or a couple going on right now. Let's see, what is this about? Now, the Kentucky State Committee for School District Audits requires that all local school districts provide an annual independent audit of financial records and accounts under the board's control. The accountant must be selected or the one that is selected has to be a certified public accountant registered with the State Board of Accountancy and the State Committee for School District Audits. A request for proposals was distributed seeking audit services for the reinstatement of fiscal year 2425, an annual audit of fiscal year 2526, as well as supplementary and ancillary services. through fiscal year 29 to 2030. Well, the district put that out for bids and they got one response. And that's the company they're going with. It's a company out of Atlanta. Now, they've got to approve the contract tonight at the school board meeting, but it's an Atlanta-based company called Maldwin or Maldwin and Jenkins, certified public accountants.

And so we'll be served. They got an office in Atlanta, but we'll be served by their office in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and they do school district audits in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida. They got clients all throughout the South. References have been checked, and the comments are very positive according to the agenda of the school board meeting tonight. The proposed contract says the audit is expected to be completed on or before November 15th of this year. The interim financial officer, chief financial officer, kind of Koch, hired to fix the district's financial problems, has suggested the district change auditors every four years. So they'll approve that or not later on the night. But what the governor means by moving, again, it's just political speak. So that way he's not pinned into a corner or penned down on this at all. So the state really is just saying very general thing. Now behind the scenes, I don't know what they're doing besides the audit. And that's pretty much being handled independently out of Allison Balls office. Evidently getting a monsoon in Estelle County here a little bit ago. Yeah, rain pops up in some places, puts a lot of rain down, a lot of moisture down, and then there might be some areas that get nothing. All we've had downtown here today has just been a very brief shower, and that wasn't very long ago. So that has... And the threat of rain is still there, so it's still going to be. Still going to be around. Let's get to a couple of texts here. As far as Iran, we need somebody like Tokyo Rose to broadcast to the young people in Iran and encourage them to overthrow theocracy and kill all the people in charge over in Iran. Her first name would be Baghdad. I'm not sure what we ought to have for a last name. Right now, I can't think of a good last name for her right now. But, yeah, somebody to sort of set things straight. But, you know, I think the young people know. It's just that, hey, look, it's like somebody else on the text line said, go mourn the Ayatollah or get shot. Pretty much. And, you know, that would get you to the funeral. I mean, again, and then how many people in a government in these, not just the theocracies, but these totalitarian governments, their livelihood depends on the government. So you better show up and you better be a team player. Your livelihood depends on your closeness or proximity to the government. That's when he met his wife, Linda. He sung that song to her, so maybe that's why he wouldn't sing it anymore. Talking about, I want to hold your hand.

That might be. I don't know why he never... John Lennon sounds like a Lennon sung song, so maybe that's why Paul McCartney never did it. I'm surprised that Paul McCartney would not have done that in some of his solo shows. If you've ever seen Paul McCartney live, yeah, I mean, he's got a lot to play. And he plays some new stuff, but of course he plays a lot of Beatles catalog, and he plays a lot of wings. And that might have been... I would think that that would have been a song that would have come up as one of the old Beatles tunes, but it never, supposedly he is not, according to people who follow this stuff and keep tracks, all these set lists and everything. He's never played that song since 1964 until this weekend. And most of us didn't see it. Oh, until the Tay-Tay Wedding pay-per-view comes out. Then we'll be able to see. Well, yeah, but then people got to get paid, don't they? Jason says, I bet that wedding will be pay-per-view. Yeah, that may very well be the case, but I mean, then if that's paper, then you're going to have to pay Stevie next or you're going to have to pay whoever performed there because now you are commercially marketing that perform. Not that that will be a problem for this couple, but they will come out with something. It won't just be the photo spread in People magazine.

It hasn't happened.
