Speel the Wine, Take That Pearl, coming in at number six, here at the Hot 100 Billboard. Casey Kasem says so. I kid. Kind of.
Anyways, let's get back down to business, shall we?
As Late Night Thoughts is finally back with Vengeance, God, I wish it was raining.
I miss the cold, the fall weather, like the desert's missed the rain.
Okay, am I kidding? It is still summer time.
All right, we'll come back to that. That's good enough. All right. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. Dean Ryan here coming at you like a heatwave from Lucifer's Kitchen right here in Orange County, California. Yes, it's true. I have been gone for quite a while now. And it's a lot of stressful things here, just getting tonight started as the sweltering heat in the Southern California regions has reached well over triple digits.
Anyone who says this is not weather warfare, I don't want to associate with because they simply can't understand basic math, if I may. Anyways, this is a members only kind of ordeal here tonight, as it's kind of a warm up show too. And Anything Could Go Wrong, which is the motto of Late Night Thoughts here at Real Deal Media, show about everything, anything and all. But Anything Could Possibly Go Wrong because of the overheating that has been occurring here just in the past 30 minutes for starters. Anything could go wrong, and that's how dangerous this show is. Really, you don't want to bring this home to your parents. Anyways, tonight is an incredible episode as this will air for the public very soon. Probably sometime later in the week, but it is five minutes past midnight in Tehran. That's the name of this incredible episode right here tonight as a special guest. Special guest will be joining us here shortly, and we thank her for her patience. Usually, we're more professional around here, but I'm just showing you what not to do. That's the whole purpose of this drill. Cassandra Arthur, she'll be joining us here tonight shortly. She's a wonderful freelance journalist and has a real golden Americana kind of opinion, former Marine. You're gonna hear all about what's happening overseas from her perspective, as well as we get into the, as we're gonna get into the inner depths of the morale of the military, as we've seen just a spike in credible discharges from the military, as military men and women are now leaving in droves. And they're like, war with Iran or do I go to the Burning Man Festival in Indio, California this year? So, you know, I can't blame them. I do the same thing. And you know my history with the Navy. Must I repeat? But there is a lot going on. We'll bring Cassandra up here shortly. But you must know, yeah, before we get started, if you don't know, you want to talk about brazen displays of bravado.
And I'm using new earbuds, by the way, which are turning into hearing aids. I don't know what I'm doing, but in a brazen display of bravado in a great time of war and challenge and discrepancies of all like. Well, the incredible air show, the 10th Air Show has been happening. If you hear jets over me currently right now, or drag racing in particular. But if you hear jets, military jets, it's just amazing that in the midst of everything happening, that a air show is now underway with the blazing heat and sun and everything between really giving you a stalwart of discrepancy, of whether you even want to go watch these things. But the Pacific Air Show and the 10th anniversary of their flights here in Huntington Beach have been happening. And it is a sight to be seen. In fact, if you haven't seen it, just to wet your whistle here as I learn how to ride a bike again.
Yeah, wild stuff, wild stuff. And a lot of people are not very patriotic this year. As you know, the 250th anniversary has come and gone. Unlike the Bicentennial of the 76 era, it was quite the stark contrast. However, I thought this year was a little different. You may not be aware, but I have a secret pilot license I partake in the festivities this weekend. And in fact, here's some footage of me going old-fashioned style with my airplane.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. Death-defying, death-defying, they told me. So there's a little example of what's been going on here in the blistering sun. You know, if you're gonna spill the wine, make sure it's a chilled wine cooler, maybe, at this point. Anyways, some other things, and you're gonna hear a lot more tomorrow night as World At WAR does return, but just to give you an idea of some of the extreme heat is also now bringing the wildfire. We have wildfires all over the world.
