**Drew Lane** (0:02)
You're listening to The Drew Lane Show.

**Drew Lane** (0:08)
Of course, here's a quarter call, someone who cares.

**Jim Bentley** (0:11)
It's Thursday, he's off, he's off his game.

**Marc Fellhauer** (0:14)
I'm never playing that again.

**Drew Lane** (0:16)
Oh no, we love that.

**Jim Bentley** (0:17)
I don't want to be that predictable.

**Marc Fellhauer** (0:19)
I thought the membership program was more important.

**SPEAKER_8** (0:21)
It's our membership program we got going here.

**Trudi Daniels** (0:26)
Become a member, please.

**Drew Lane** (0:28)
It does feel special.

**SPEAKER_10** (0:30)
Here's a corner, cost someone a new table.

**SPEAKER_11** (0:32)
There it is.

**Drew Lane** (0:33)
Alright, Marc's here, Trudi's here, Jim has got his Top 10 today, which is... Top 10?

**SPEAKER_11** (0:39)
Lame?

**Tom Mazawey** (0:40)
Well, no, it's not lame at all.

**Jim Bentley** (0:41)
I mean, everyone here is, well, most of us are parents. It's back to school time.

**Drew Lane** (0:46)
Oh, yeah.

**SPEAKER_11** (0:47)
Right?

**Jim Bentley** (0:47)
I got to take a kid school shopping, so best songs about school.

**Drew Lane** (0:51)
Back to school. That's such a hideous topic. I still can't stand the signs. I hate them. It makes me feel terrible. Me too.

**Trudi Daniels** (0:59)
Stupid commercials.

**Drew Lane** (1:00)
Roberto's on video for about an hour, and we'll see what happens after that. But we're brought to you by Hall Financial, our long-time partner. Interest rates are, well, they're lower than they've been in three years, and you get great five-star service and all. They have 7,000 five-star views. Their loans close quickly, nine business days or less. In a competitive market, a fast and reliable mortgage process can help make an offer stand out.
The goal is to not just close a loan, it's to create a client for life. A lot of people come back. Mortgages can be complicated. Hall works to make the experience feel simple. If you have an address and you have a mortgage, just call them and let them do their magic. Fast closings, clear communication, thousands of five-star experiences. That's what separates Hall Financial. callhallfirst.com/drew. That's callhallfirst.com/drew. I think it's a slogan. If you have an address, just give us a call.
If you have an address and a mortgage, call us. We can help you.
All right. Jim, where are you in the rankings for this month?

**Jim Bentley** (1:54)
I tied up Josh Schell today. Unless he did something else in the past couple of hours, which I'm sure he did.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:00)
Which he probably did, so he's working hard.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:03)
He's not leaving early.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:04)
He busts his ass.

**Drew Lane** (2:05)
He tries to look up to his name.

**Jim Bentley** (2:06)
He's under a lot of pressure.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:07)
He doesn't stay late and go to a podcast.

**Jim Bentley** (2:09)
He doesn't work on the weekends and call people when I'm on vacation.

**Drew Lane** (2:14)
Are you saying Hall Financial is not of service on the weekends?

**Jim Bentley** (2:17)
No, I'm just saying Josh is too good.

**Drew Lane** (2:20)
I see.

**Jim Bentley** (2:20)
No, Josh does it.

**Drew Lane** (2:21)
It's interesting.

**Jim Bentley** (2:22)
We all do that.

**Drew Lane** (2:24)
We have some interesting stuff going on today. Of course, we have to do some Markle review.

**Trudi Daniels** (2:30)
How delighted are you that you finally helped to drive them out of the country? Wow, dude.

**SPEAKER_16** (2:35)
It feels so good.

**Drew Lane** (2:37)
I feel bad for the UK though. They have them back.

**Marc Fellhauer** (2:40)
Hey, there is their problem to begin with.

**Trudi Daniels** (2:42)
I love how it was a surprise to Charles too.

**Drew Lane** (2:45)
Yeah.

**Trudi Daniels** (2:45)
Everyone in the world.

**Drew Lane** (2:46)
But she is our creation. I mean, we made her, I suppose.

**Trudi Daniels** (2:52)
What? Thomas Markle.

**Drew Lane** (2:53)
And actually, she's the booby prize.
She is. Well, okay, I won't get started. I'll never get stopped. But there was some really interesting stuff going on yesterday at the Tupac trial.

**Marc Fellhauer** (3:06)
Yeah.

**Drew Lane** (3:06)
As Mob James took the stand. And I had no idea what he was talking about. Marc, I know you tried to decipher it. What the hell was going on?

**Marc Fellhauer** (3:14)
Oh, boy. So my problem with this trial, and Roberto has been following it too, is that all these guys are gangsters. They're not great people. They're all liars, but they also all have grievances.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:26)
And the hero's black.

**Marc Fellhauer** (3:27)
They all have grievances against everybody that is slightly involved in this. So it's really hard to nail down who shot Tupac or who the person was.
