And yesterday, I happen to see you on my Twitter, a good friend with a vast experience, orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Nicholas Danubelli. was writing about what's at stake here as she kicks off. This is the story of the Winter Olympics. Now, it's 5.30, I think she races 5.30 a.m. given the time difference on Sunday. But I plan to be watching it. What are the stakes? Both for her, but more importantly, what does it say about sport? Yes, Dr. Danubli also. aka Henry, Doctor Who? I'll get to it. Okay, all right. All right, Dr. Nick. Yeah, Dr. Nick. All right, Dr. Nick is with us here on Talk Radio 1210. Dr. Nick, welcome in. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Dom. How are you? Well, very well. Now, I see your background on Twitter quite frequently. You post a lot. You're an orthopedic surgeon. What did you write about? Best-selling author, and you advised two presidents. What did you advise them on? Well, my book, a bunch of books I wrote, a framework was your seven-step program for healthy muscles, bones, and joints. It was a bestseller back in the day, and it became a PBS special. I'm just as we speak writing. the second edition of it. And the two presidents were both Bush presidents. And it was, yeah, and I was with the president's fitness council with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the first one, health policy. Second one, health policy. And I was helping Bush, too, with a lot of the malpractice reform that we were trying to get done way back. You remember that whole war. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'll tell you what. Listen, as former... team doctor for the Sixers, 11 points in two minutes with a broken ankle, I'm impressed. Well, the 11 points were before the ankle was broken, the other team wasn't going to have any of that. Aren't you impressed by the throw-up as a reaction and wanting to stay there? Hey, clean it up. Come on, it's a game. Let's go.

They hacked you. Yeah, so that's a segue, though. Speaking to the six years, back when we had our championship run in 2001, Eric Snow, our great point guard, if you remember Eric. Sure. He had a broken ankle that was fixed with some plates and screws. And the discussion we had was, okay, this is risk versus reward. This is a pro athlete in a once-in-a-lifetime situation. Do you take the chance of, you know, worst-case scenario, that ankle turns, the screws break, the things come apart because the ankle was, the fracture was not healed. It's held together. by hardware, which we would never want you or I to go out and risk. But, you know, this is what high-level athletes do. You know, you talk to them. They make an informed decision. And then it's how big is the risk and, you know, it gets very interesting. Before we get to the athlete, Lindsay Vaughn, let's talk about the head coach of the New England Patriots who said for another Super Bowl, he would cut off half his penis. Which half? Yeah, well, you know, you saw I posted that famous study where they asked Olympic athletes years ago if they would take a pill and be dead in five years. It wasn't even cut five years off your life. They wouldn't last very long after that. And, you know, whether they would actually do it or not, but the far majority said they would absolutely do it. Different mindset. You know, it's a different mindset in you or I. Particularly, we don't care about the Olympics. That's why I really like Lindsey Vaughn. Back in the day, and you probably remember this, when we had an enemy, I think you need an enemy, the Summer Olympics every year. When I was a kid, the Russians, I'm seeing what are the press sisters going to do? I know they're cheating. They're shooting them up right before they throw the shot put. And when the Russians played us in basketball... I just, and when we lost, I just wanted to put in jail the coaches because I would have gotten guys off the street to play them. You know, the Russians didn't care about fouls or anything. So Dr. Nick, Lindsey Vaughn, has really captured our attention. And if she comes through with this, even more, what is it physically? I know you can't diagnose from afar with this tear. From what you've seen, what do you think is going on with her? Well, you know, in my year, in my many, many, many years in practice, over 40, I was primarily a knee specialist and sport. So all I did was knee arthroscopy and ACL tears. That was the far majority of my work, so I've seen thousands of these. And your ACL is an important ligament dead center in your knee that is one of the main stabilizers of the knee. It prevents your knee from shifting and twisting and going out on you. People tear their ACL and can live without their ACL. My wife is a distance runner. She works out regularly. When she was younger, she tore her ACL. She decided never to have it fixed.

And in everyday life, she's one person, not everybody can, gets away with it. She stays strong, she works on balance, and her knee doesn't go out all the time on her. However, if she were to all of a sudden want to take up tennis or pickleball, something where you start to move side to side or high speed, the wrist goes up. And your knee will, it's a trick knee. It goes out. So with Lindsey Vaughn. it's an important stabilizer and if she lands funny at all on that knee, it's going to shift on her. The brace will not keep it in place. It helps a little bit the brace, the ACL braces, the custom braces, but they've not been shown to be effective to prevent. This is why almost every top athlete you see who tears their ACL and wants to get back to sports, and they can. Tom Brady's a perfect example, but it takes a year to get back after the surgery, but they can perform at high levels, but they can't do it with the trick knee. Now, she needs a perfect ride and a smooth landing, and maybe she'll be okay. And here's the caveat. The one thing that concerns me, and it's a little confusing to me, is that when you tear your ACL for the first time, The knee swells. It hurts. It's stiff. Most people, at least for a few weeks, can't do much on it. So the fact that she's feeling good so quick, I wonder if she didn't have some... laxity in that knee before and then this was just that pop the ACL that was already damaged and that's why she's feeling in one week you saw the video she's doing a heavy squat she's jumping around she's doing the most people cannot do that with a fresh brand new ACL now remember her other knee multiple ACL tears ruined her knee and just last year she had a partial knee replacement on the on the other knee so that's her good knee right now Wow. The one that she just tore again, or tore for the first time, she had prior multiple injuries, tore other ligaments, had nerve damage, had surgery. So that knee was compromised. I almost wonder if there was... some ACL laxity that maybe she has adjusted to. And as some people we call copers, they can, they actually do okay without an ACL. Other people, you know, they turned funny walking down the street and the next thing you're on the ground. Well, here's the thing I wanted to get to with you, Dr. Nick, too. So you laid all that out and you agree this is inspirational. But then you offer a caution.

about the weekend warrior or younger females because the ads for the Winter Olympics are smart. They're tying into that young female, should she go down the mountainside like her hero and all the rest. What do you come down? I mean, I'm just rooting her on. I don't care. I think this is tremendous. I don't see any downside. Oh, I am totally rooting her run. The downside is when your knee goes out and you go into a crash mode, you know, you can hit your head. She's had multiple concussions, by the way. You could hit your head. You could break ribs, which she has done. I mean, you could really hurt yourself further. But that goes for anybody doing that, even normal, on that kind of a race. But it's not for the... This is Olympic athlete, you know, I would say once in a lifetime, but she's been there before. You almost wonder why, you know, at this point. So, but for the average kid, I caution that. You can't, you know, and we have parents who are like, oh, can't my kid finish the season. You know, scholarships are on the line. We're willing to take the risk, Doc. We'll sign a paper. We won't sue you if you sign the okay to let them go back in. I mean, the parents are crazy. So I. I worry about people seeing this as the way to go in everyday life. This is a unique instance. Dr. Nick, where did we find you on Twitter? You have great stuff. Dr. Nick USA, DRNICK USA. One other thing, Dom, real quick, women are tearing their ACLs at five to seven times the rate of men. Their bodies are different. I know people want to say there's no difference, but the female frame is completely different, high, high risk for ACL tears in general. And then when they tear one within a year or going back after the surgery, there's about a 30% chance they're either going to... re-tear it or tear the other one. Wow. So it's, you know, the young female athlete has to do things differently if they want to compete. Dr. Nick, thank you. Thanks for coming on today to be continued on Twitter. Thanks, Nick. Well, I'll be rooting for her, too. Let's talk again. Let's see how it goes. All right. Thanks, Dr. Nick. And it had to be Dr. Nick, too. Perfect. All right. So there you go. I see just all upside to it. And yes, you can say I'm twisting it. Everybody takes a great story and then they give you the epiphany here. What's the outcome? You know, if I be so bold, it's like a parable. Well, the parable to me is this. Someone willing to do this shows this is as competitive, this woman is competitive and what she's doing with these other women as any male ever at any time. what she's willing to do to do this. Okay. So why in the world would we mess up something like this? You know what the argument the other side many times is? I wish I had Josh Shapiro here. I'd like to watch that with him, the great man. Well, what about the feelings of these kids, though, Dom? Why can't they a male compete against Lindsay Vaughn? Because that male identifies as something else.

On and on it goes. And I let off the show today telling you that Minnesota, Minnesota, you know how progressive it is. Minnesota's Children's Hospital today said they're not going to do the puberty blockers anymore, the hormone treatment with minors. Not doing it. Yet Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, they're the leading voice out there that's anti-science. They're still going to go down Broadway with it and duke it out with the Trump administration. All right, we'll see what happens there. All right, so 855, 839, 12, 10, you get on board. I think this is, to me, must see TV. If she wins a gold medal here or even survives medals somehow or another, it's going against the best in the world. And I didn't realize it was 85 miles an hour potentially. Wow. You know, just walk into the car, going over top of that ice I have to to get to the car. I'm taking at these little, I'm looking, John Kerry eating that cheese steak hoagie, these mincing steps. I'm watching some of these guys doing the same thing. I'm down like this, you know, in the crouch, not going to slide, not going to go down. Imagine on a skis, a surf is polished like that downhill. I think if she came down Chestnut Street where I park, she could get up to 85 miles an hour and ice. It's that downhill. Oh, definitely. Oh, yeah. His cars are getting up to 80. Yeah. It's got to get some speed first. Yeah, something. Yes. All right. So 855, 839, 12, 10. Maybe she'll be competing against the Russian. They're always the best enemy. Are they allowed back in the Olympics yet? Maybe they're not. Do you see they took them? The Russians back in the day, the enemy now against the Chinese, it's not quite the same thing. I don't know. I don't know who against the French. Canada. Yeah, that's right. Canada might be the new enemy. Be that Canadian. All right, kid, get out there. You're playing the Canadians today. Uh, it is time right now, though, for... It's Dobbs Money Melody. It has all the money gone. We are playing for a $50 gift card to checkers and rallies, hungry checkers and rallies, has you covered with the $5 MVP meal deal. Choose from three craveworthy sandwiches, a savory mushroom Swiss burger, John Kerry, craveable spicy chicken, or more than a quarter pound cheese double. Plus, a value fry. Wow, you get that too. A small, soft drink and a classic apple pie, all for just five bucks, only at checkers and rallies. Yeah, Dom, so today we're on the side. We're asking for something you associate with country music. And to start the show, you mentioned the twang.

And I kind of pushed back and said, you know, I think they put on the twang a little bit. I don't think everyone's got that natural twang like you hope they would. I think they put it on. And I think this person, while they're a good artist, I think they definitely put it on. Because, you know, maybe it's just me, but they're not American. I mean, this person I'm going to play for you. He's a Kiwi. He's born in New Zealand. Emigrated to the United States back in the early 90s where he made it big in Nashville. He actually in 2006. had set the record for the highest debuting country single in Billboard chart history. So I'm going to play you a cover he did with his original band before he went solo. I want to know the name of this Kiwi covering Steelers' Wheels stuck in the middle with you. Let's take a listen. Yep, you do. Well, I don't know why I came here tonight. Does that's on the right? I'm so scared in case I fall out my chair. And I'm on it if I get down the stairs. Yeah, clowns to the left and there choke us to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you. Stuck in the middle with you. Does that sound like a New Zealander to you? Yeah, I can hear it through there. Oh, come on. Yeah, I think it's. Not as artful fake. You think it's pretty good fakery. I think it's great faker. I think it's like, oh, if you were said you were born and raised in Nashville, I could have believed it. He's like, no, he's born and raised in, Brazil and raised in Australia. I was hearing a trying to hear a little sense breaking through there. All right, 8558, 3, 9, 1210. Hit us with that. $50 gift card coming to you. Jump in now on Talk Radio 1210.

Hello, Scott. What's your answer to Dad? Hey, howdy, Scott? Keith Urban. Keith Urban. Wow, that is, I didn't know the key third. Well, yeah, right. The wife, yeah, they're still together. No, they divorced. That was getting my clue if I needed it. Oh, recently divorced. Recently divorced, yes. All right, Scott, you're the winner. A $50 gift card to checkers and rallies. Enjoy. I didn't think that would happen that quickly, but yeah, good stuff. 19 years. Oh, you what, do you want the divorce? Yeah, not the divorce. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I teased this a while ago, and I wanted to get to it before I take any more calls on the side today. And again, we need to do more with the Communist Chinese Party with things related to this. They killed us. They didn't care. They didn't care about the world. They're the existential threat with COVID. But I'm looking at several stories today. Investigators moving in on the owner of the residents on Sugar Springs Drive in Las Vegas. A bio lab. He was already in federal custody on charges related to the investigation of another biolab in Reedley, California in 2023. A second suspect was arrested in conjunction with this investigation. He's the property manager for two properties there in Vegas. He was booked into the detention center for disposing and discharging hazardous weights. They talk about this biolab and the assortment of refrigerators, freezers, glass speakers, reddish liquid inside, and what is believed to be a centrifuge. Yeah, a centrifuge on top of it. They talk about the smell in the area. They say that the handyman got deadly ill after going into the garage. Approximately five days after ending the garage, she was left with breathing issues, fatigue, could not get out of bed, muscle aches, et cetera. And they go on to detail this and then the element that I mentioned of the Chinese coming in, a Chinese citizen who was indicted in November in 2023 selling hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 tests.

to companies throughout the United States that never received pre-market approval. They talk about his role in this. And how in the world would we let this Xi Jinping B. Zhu into the country? Well, we didn't. He managed to enter the country under a false identity, previously identified as the vice chairman of a Chinese state-controlled enterprise based in China. He was involved with his pioneer aid biological engineering company limited. And on it goes, he serves as chairman of the board, general manager of this. Again, the bottom line is the connection, biolaps all over the place. So B&B involved, people getting sick with that. A story that's just starting, the headline at National Review, what's going on with that secret bio lab now in Las Vegas after we had the other one connected to China. Again, from the presidency on down, look, they are relentless in the stuff that they're doing. We're still depending on them for a lot of medical supplies. This is just another cautionary tale, just another tale to tell us. This infiltration on college campuses, the theft of intellectual property that they engage in. And the best example I can do because Darry, the head of the Sixers, is in the news, doesn't look like we're going to make a big trade, at least what I'm reading. We've got up like 34 minutes. What are you talking about? They traded away Eric Gordon at second round pick swap 20 minutes ago. Yeah, right. But the big trade they were working on it. So he's in the news. All he did when he was at Houston was one leaving, as I remember it. Somehow another wrote Free Hong Kong. I think it was on Twitter. Just a simple thing like that. From that, they went wild. And you may remember Charles Barkley, who's in the news today, telling conservatives to shut up about Bad Bunny and the big game on Sunday, Barclay. He's the guy that lectured us along with LeBron, along with the NBA being complicit about how much money they had tied up with the Chinese and how we better shut up about all this stuff that was engaged because of what they were doing and threatening post just that comment. Again, they are relentless and I know it's got to be excruciating to try to disentangle that somehow or another our medical supply. Remember this during COVID. are attached to them. That's the job of a presidential administration. That's a job if they went before the American people in some election, sometime to tell them, I'm going to move heaven and earth to go after these. They're the enemy of the world. Any comparison to anything else that we've seen in human history, I think doesn't do justice to what we're facing here. And they do look at it as 10 years, 20 years, 30, 50 years down the road. That's what they're about. Now, we can beat them because their system is based upon tyranny. We know how that usually ends. But they are particularly relentless and crazed. And that's the lesson of another bio lab. As you see this in the news, as this plays out, I just think of how many people we lost during COVID. I think of the cover-up. Sure, I think of Anthony Fauci.

I think of the masking and all that. But my mind always goes back to them and how they covered it up and would cover up and their ruthlessness around us. They just don't care. That's the challenge we face. All right. More calls coming up on the side. Today we are looking. at something associated with country. We haven't gotten enough people yet. You have to have a really good one to win on this, and we'll put your name into the hat for the drawing tomorrow. I think it's the $50 gift card again tomorrow. Jug handle in. A jug handle in. Okay, we'll have that. New sponsor there, new person there doing that. By the way, I forgot, don't forget about the Navy League. Navy League Philly.org, Navy League Philly.org, our sponsor every day of the Henry's Dom's Money Melody, that he concox. That was a particularly good one. I like Keep the Urban. Don't know how that marriage wouldn't work, but who knows? You don't know how? No. What would happen? Was she doing something to see? No, I just imagine it's hard to be married with Nicole Kidman. She seems pretty likable to me. I don't see. In some respects, I don't know. Yeah. Usually I'd be the first one to say, oh, I could see that. But, you know. I mean, I don't fault her for like divorcing Tom Cruise because he'd be the same way where it'd be like, all right. Yeah. I mean, how in the world you're, God, that maniac. God. He's just lost his mind beyond belief. And I don't know about doing a film with him. It's one thing you've got to take some risk, but jumping out of planes and all. I'd kill to do a film with him because he's willing to die for it. Yeah, you might be too. I mean, you're throwing it out there. But then Mike Bravo's willing to lose half his penis to win the Super Bowl. What's the guy on the other side? Well, I'd lose the whole thing. They have to ask him. I have to ask Mike McDonald that. Yeah, they have to ask him that question. All right, it's 855, 839, 1210. Hey, it's Jen Hatmaker. Here's what I've learned in midlife. Joy isn't the reward you earn after all the work is done. Joy is the work. That's what this new series on For the Love is all about. The sacred yes. It's choosing delight, rest, and pleasure on purpose. Because saying yes to yourself, that's the thing that finally lets you fill your table with everybody else. Come find your sacred yes with me. Follow and listen to For the Love wherever you get your podcasts. This is Dark Radio 1210. WPHT on demand. On demand. All right, it is Dom Time. It is something country. Dolly Parton responded to me on Twitter. Well, she has five followers, so it might not be Dolly Parton, but that's the name. It's not the real Dolly Parton. It's some kind of knockoff. I've never interviewed her. I don't, you know, Dollywood or something like that. Or when she had the kids' books program, I was trying on that. It's one of the elusive ones.

So, Henry, in 2026, who is your goal again to get in studio? We need them in studio, too, with a big interview. Krasner, Dolly Parton. Got anybody else on that list? We did have a seven-footer in here who tried to block my shot from the boatrotters. Yeah. Yeah, he saw that. Come on. I knew it's been on the ball for that. It was going to be tough. Oh, very tough. Maybe Deshawn Jackson again at some point. Oh, that's right. I'd like to try and get him back. Yeah, get him back. Seems to be a different guy to me. All right. Coach of Delaware State. That's right. The great Joe in Exton is next on Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Joe. Yes, hello, Dom. And good afternoon. Afternoon, Joe. For my side answer. Nashville's version of Philadelphia's Academy of Music is a theater known as the Grand Ole Opry. Okay. All right, Joe, thank you. That's a little bit outside Joe's brand today, the Grand Old Opry. I don't see the clip. So you try to bring in the Academy of Music. Yeah. Yeah, to it. Okay, that's fine. One bit of sound, I didn't want to miss playing today. Here is Chip Roy, this is Cut 12, the rep, the congressman from Texas, really getting into it with the ACLU. They were testifying before Congress, and the ACLU refused to answer if ICE should remove illegal child rapist and murders. Should be by ACLU as simple answer, right? Cut 12. Kenneth Moreno, Guzman, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, forcibly broken in the back door of a family's home on January 12th, 2025 a year ago and proceeded to rape an 11-year-old girl and held her 10-year-old sister at Knife Point, was sought after him to be removed by ICE. Should ICE remove that individual from the United States? I mean, first off, I want to say that's tragic. It's horrible. Yes or no. Should ICE carry out its function to remove that individual from the United States and get him to law enforcement for prosecution? Every victim deserves justice. Hector Baldaris, a killer, a criminal alien from Mexico was arrested for a felony hit and run that killed an 11-year-old boy on Thanksgiving morning. ICE worked to get this person in custody. Should ICE do that? This, what I'm talking about is not normal law enforcement. Should ICE remove? Should ICE remove these individuals who are a danger to the American people? Yes or no? I have, I'm here to speak about what is happening. Yes or no? Should ICE carry out its function in law enforcement to remove these people who are killing Americans? Yes or no? ICE has the ability to do its law enforcement activity. So ICE should carry out its law enforcement function to remove people who are harming the American people, such as the next person. Marvin Fernando Morales-Rortez, a criminal legal aide from El Salvador, brutally murdered a resident inside his home in Western Virginia. Just one day after sanctuary politicians refused to honor the ICE arrest detainer and released him from jail. That's what we've been dealing with. That was the product of the previous administration.

and says, look, this has been a great ride, hasn't it? He can't just say vague stuff like, well, they're going to impeach me. That's not going to be enough. I don't know what the words are, what the magic is. It sickens me that we have to beg people to vote. And I just wonder, you know, I'm all on board with this alternate because it's not a boycott. It's an alternate halftime show on Sunday. But I wonder how many people will jump up and down and be part of that. But then will they show up and vote in the midterms? And if you don't vote, you're not a patriot. You don't care about America. You're sickening. Stop all of it. Just getting off on the rallies and we're going to put on a halftime show because of bad. Oh, I'm bored with that. But the critical thing is to vote. Is it that hard? Many states, early voting. You can do the mail-in. You can show up on election day, but you got to vote. I'm not feeling it. I'll tell you when I am. I'm not feeling that we have that energy. And I know the other side has the energy. It's indisputable because they're haters. And I'm looking at one more story with Jack Ciattarelli. I'm looking at, we've talked about this, it gets people emotional, and I understand why in Jersey. New Jersey towns now take a last-ditch effort to upend affordable housing law to the Supreme Court. The local leaders for responsible planning, a group of about three dozen municipalities, filed a federal lawsuit now trying to undo the criteria the state uses to calculate affordable housing obligations. They're going to the U.S. Supreme Court because they've struck out all over the place. Now, I wonder how many of those, because I have to get the list and check, I wonder how many of these municipalities like Medford, Medford Lakes, are going to be ground down by the boot of these progressive tyranny of people. I wonder how many of them voted for Mikie Sherrill in the end. We know that Medford did in Medford Lakes. They won those towns. I wonder how many these municipalities did it. Were they unaware that Jack Ciattarelli would fight to the death so that you wouldn't have to do this? Mikie Sherrill would be cutting ribbons. I mean, isn't that enough to vote on that right there? What the heck did she say that would move that? But she did. All right, it is a lightning round next. I'll tell you more about this as it gets to the Supreme Court. I can't imagine being in Medford. That meeting we told you about it. It seems like a month or so ago. It jumped out at me where they were told, what is it? They have to build 800 affordable houses or 800 more to develop 800 in order to pay for the 173 affordable. Based on what? Why would you destroy your community? Well, that's what you voted for. And every time you vote for a Democrat, even the mildest, most moderate, you run the risk. They're going to enable the Mikie Sherrill's of the wrong. That's exactly what they're going to do. Or, at worse, you don't show up and vote. This is what you're going to get. So how can people do it? Unexplainable. That's what has to happen, though. All right, lightning round is next. Here's how you do that. 855. 839, 1210. Dom Jude. Dom Judano, weekdays, noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD.

The time has come for the final test. We usually call us a lightning round. All right. So one note before we go today. Swathamore, typical. The Swatamore Public Library has officially, says the Inquirer, done away with overdue fees. They say growing contingent of libraries that say you shouldn't be fining people if they don't return the library book. Tomorrow, the script has arrived already. Yeah. They claim more books will get returned on time if you take away the fees. That is completely counterintuitive to every human emotion out there. But apparently a number of libraries, the Chicago Public Library started this. Take a look at Chicago and see what's going on there. It might be a barometer. My God. You know, Why have overdue fees on anything then? Maybe the credit card companies ought to try that. All right, the Earl of Tacconi. Let's get his answer today. All right, Earl, what is your country association? Um... It would have to be depressing songs. I mean, not all the songs are depressing. I mean, the whole trope about country music is crying in your beer. I mean, you know, my dog got run over when my girlfriend left and burned down the trailer and ran over my dog. I mean, you go and you look at George Jay Jones, some of his most famous songs, like The Grand Tour, where he talks about how his wife died having a miscarriage while giving birth and the baby died. Or, uh... I stopped loving her today in 1980, where a man loved a woman so much. He didn't stop loving her until the day he died. And they wondered if he would come to the funeral. Thank you, Earl, very much. Yeah, there does seem to be a crying in the beer aspect to a lot of country. I don't know that that's what they're going to be singing on Sunday. We haven't gotten the playlist. I'm going to ask Jack Posobic. I think he has it of what they're going to play on. What is this remark? What's the number one kid rock song? Do we know that, Henry? All summer long. Is it? Okay. I played Cowboy earlier in the show, too. All right. And then there's going to be some reveal about God that's going to be there. We'll see. Drew an Upper Darby. All right, Drew, what's yours today? Hey, Dom, thank you so much. I'm not state senator, man. He was just a stone cold fraud. I was irate, listening to him. But, hey, Dom, my country thing is I like the old-time country guys. who sing about being in prison, because they were, like, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash's show at Folsom Prison. Yes. I know you like I Walk the Line. Right. But I think my favorite song is it's called A Boy Names Sue. Where he gets into a fight with his son, who he named Sue. And he said,

He kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodile through the mud, the blood, and the beer. Thanks, stop. Thank you, true. Johnny Cash is very underrated, I think. All-time entertainer. Just the projection of that guy is unbelievable. He was almost the money melody today, but I was like, I do it too much. I bet Zinos is a big guy. The Greeks probably invented country music. We know that, right? Zenos. Hi, Zenos. What's up, Tom? Before we start, I'd like to make a little comment on that guy that you had this morning, that Rono. He said he wants people to be unmasked police officers, but then how come it's all right for Amphita and Tifo occupied Wall Street for them guys to walk around with masks? I noticed he didn't say nothing about them. It's only the police that have to be outmassed. You know, Dom, that's why I called these guys hypocrites. Now, and with the library thing, I think they'll probably raise the taxes on people in Swarthmore to pay the bills. That's exactly where I'm going. We're going to talk about this tomorrow. Zinos, I need your side, though. We're flat out of time here. I know. Mine is the cowboy pants, the jeans. You got Wranglers, Levi's, and Lees, and they go great with black boots or dark brown. Nothing else. Thank you, Zinos. Joe, we just need an answer today to squeeze you in. What do you have? Well, Earl came dangerously close to mine. Mine is just the love gone bad. I don't know what goes on in the South, but that's... The bad love gone bad. Heartbreak Hill. All right. Sean, what do you have here? What's yours? What do you like out of all these? So mine is I actually like Bill. Bill was one of the ones that I actually really like. Nashville. Yeah, the one with Nashville. And then the second one that I actually also did like was Earl with the song depressings. Okay. Henry? Yeah, I liked... I like Bill's answer, but I also like Robert and Ben Salem's answer of he-haw and the whole ditty he did he did there with it. It's pretty good. And Lance South Philly with the stories that these songs tell of, you know, said heartbreaks and jeans and beer and whatnot. It was Robert and Gary did a ditty too. But Robert, yeah, the he-ha thing was well done and connected, et cetera. So let's put Robert into the hat. Get in tomorrow. We'll have the drawing, $50 gift card. Follow me on Twitter until then.
