Oh, hello there.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:23)
You are on the The Dream Media Network.
Hey, look at that, text messages, messages. Wow, you're on The Dream, and coming off a World Cup kickoff Thursday, the United States of America play today at six o'clock. So we'll see how that goes with the US. It was a fun little kickoff day. The yesterday, the Mexico-South Africa game was a total, it was a weird train wreck. Three red cards, which means three guys were kicked out of the game. Two from South Africa, one from Mexico. And I would say, and then South Korea beat the Czechs last night in a very fun game. I caught the second half after we had a kick-ass volunteer event party.
We were getting some work done yesterday.
It was like home cooking campaigning last night with a bunch of people. So thanks to Pam and John for hosting us.
And we had some pretty good thin crust from Rosati's. Just to let you know. And I made homemade chocolate chip cookies. You got to take care of your boys and girls that will take care of you. So anyway, South Korea looks like, the Czechs are solid, but South Korea beat them last night. And the Mexico Czech game is very important. If they lose to the Czechs, we got ourselves a situation for Mexico. And they should have beat this team from South Africa by more than two zip. It was a little weird, so. If I'm Mexico, I'm happy I won, but I'm not sitting there going, yo homie, look at us. So anyway, the Canadians at noon today against Bosnia and then USA Paraguay coming up at six. We'll see if the US can find their huevos, as we like to say, and that is not an Easter egg hunt. So Mark's going to be here in just a bit, and we're going to do some movies.
He's going to, I guess there's been 98 best picture winners, and he's going to choose the top 10 or 15 of those 98
So we're doing that, and then we have Tucson Loves Music in the third hour. So should be very, very fun. Lots of stories to get to today. We have, we're going to play a little bit of the press conference with Todd Blanch yesterday about unaccompanied migrant miners, which is one of the most, I'm going to do my, sorry, I'm going to do my Al Gore. It's one of the worst inconvenient truths we ever saw is missing migrant children. It's actually pretty disgusting. Actually, it's very disgusting. And trying to find the story, it's in relation to the news of this is harder than you think sometimes. It's really sad that you have news agencies that if the story reflects bad on the Biden administration, they just seem to bury it. And that's sad, especially for the kids that suffer under this and their families. I mean, some of these kids' parents are still back in their home country. Or they're dead. Or they're also under some sort of bizarre slavery situation in America, or back in Mexico, or wherever their home country is. I just love that this is a fact, this is a thing. Big Dave is out and running in front right now. We got Billy Beard, Mother Mucka, Murph88, Prog Rock Forever from Pat. And remember, it's John Whetton's birthday today, and I would have done a John Whetton playlist if we don't keep getting threatened by Warner Brothers music. But my favorite vocalist of rock vocalist and one of the top five bassists out there, very underrated, most of you would know him as the bassist, vocalist and songwriter in Asia. Heat of the moment, only time will tell, but his work in the 70s with UK and Crimson and Roxy Music is pretty damn good. So I'm a fan. I'm a fan. Neil, it's 61 in Dogpatch USA. Keith's on his dog walk. Good morning, Pat.
Youboob finally starts to... I think it's you. I think it's John. Whatever ferrets they're using in Tennessee to run the Internet out there is having some issues, as we like to say. What else do we got here? Trump decides not to attack Iran because... I don't know if you heard this before.

**Live The Dream Media Podcast Network** (5:24)
We got a deal.

**Christopher DeSimone** (5:26)
I hope he has a deal. Let's move past this thing. Holy crap. But, you know, he's like, we were two hours from laying the wood to these guys. Why does it feel like Infinity's having a problem this morning? That's what it feels like. I don't know if Shay's having these problems. Maybe it's just me. So we're going to talk about this press conference with Blanche and Mullen about unaccompanied miners. We're going to talk about Graham Platner.
