Oh, hi there, you're on Live The Dream Media, Christopher DeSimone, and it's a titanic big Tuesday, as we like to say, because of scheduling around his various meetings and stuff like that.

**Bruce Ash** (0:35)
Vacation.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:36)
Or vacation.

**Bruce Ash** (0:38)
Let's be honest about it.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:40)
Because of his vacation plans, Bruce Ash is in a week early today. Good morning, my friend.

**Bruce Ash** (0:43)
That's right, hi, how are you? Good to be with you.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:47)
I'm great.

**Bruce Ash** (0:48)
And I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I got my money paid. Thank you. I even used that damn QR code.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:54)
Look at you.

**Bruce Ash** (0:55)
I am right in the 19th century.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:59)
This is, this bold technological experiment of being all digital. I've been, we've lost a few, right? Cause they're just don't, like literally I ran into a guy on Walmart and he goes, I can't, this is literally a month ago, I can't listen to you anymore. And I go, well, why? He goes, I don't know how to find you. And I'm like, do you have, do you watch YouTube videos? He goes, all the time. I'm like, all right, Live The Dream Media at six o'clock. He goes, oh, right.

**Bruce Ash** (1:27)
But watching the app itself, if you have a smartphone, right?
You know, I mean, a lot of these guys also have flip phones, right? But if you have a smartphone, it took me, even me, it only took me about 17 seconds to figure it out and get hooked up like the day you started.

**Christopher DeSimone** (1:46)
Yeah, I mean, so when you're telling me you're using QR codes, and our friend Duff is now using the app over the last so many months, I was like...

**Bruce Ash** (1:55)
Now we know, we've crossed the Rubicon. If Duff is listening on the app and use a QR code, my Lord.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:03)
This is awesome. I love it. I'm proud of all of you guys.
So yeah, Bruce is talking about our, you probably have a couple more hours to get your ticket sales in. I'll put it in all the, to get your tickets to join us for a kick-ass dinner. And we're gonna watch Andy Biggs, who's on the show in an hour, with David Schweikert, Scott Neely. No, not related to our other friend.

**Bruce Ash** (2:23)
East side, Scott. East side, Matt.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:25)
This is north side, Scott.
And then this guy, Ken Macchelli, who he's got these signs on corners where literally it's like AI art of him. You can just tell it's AI crap.

**Bruce Ash** (2:39)
Kind of touched him up a little bit.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:41)
It touches. Got rid of the tattoos. I don't know what Ken Macchelli looks like in real life.

**Bruce Ash** (2:48)
Well, if they can do it to Sylvester Stallone. Maybe they can work some orders on him.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:53)
Yo, let's smooth out my parts here. We have, and then the boys from Desert Rose are going to join us.

**Bruce Ash** (3:00)
Oh good, I enjoy those guys every time they're on the show. Love the disclaimers.

**Christopher DeSimone** (3:04)
Tax, taxes, politics.

**Bruce Ash** (3:06)
God, if I had to do that every day, I'd go crazy.

**Christopher DeSimone** (3:11)
It's good stuff, good stuff. Good morning to Billy Beard, Bob Watson, Mother Mucker, Keith, says get to work. Thank you, sir. Murph88, Pat, Rex, hug your kids and tell them you love them.
All right, I'm there.

**Bruce Ash** (3:29)
That's a good thing. Father's Day coming up on Sunday, let him hug you a little bit.

**Christopher DeSimone** (3:34)
Forgot about Father's Day. Nightmare last night of running out of grill space to barbecue squadron.
I need more information, Keith. Good morning to Patrick, Dr. Neil. The mockingbirds are harvesting our grapes and proclaiming a beautiful morning at 63 degrees. That's beautiful. We're going to take the roadie out to see Dr. Neil. We're going to go check this place out. We're going to do the horseshoe in Benson for breakfast.

**Bruce Ash** (4:02)
I've been there, done that. That's good.

**Christopher DeSimone** (4:04)
We'll go do that, hang out with the folks.

**Bruce Ash** (4:06)
I bet you that's a place where I can actually get extra, extra, extra well done hash browns.

**Christopher DeSimone** (4:12)
I always ask for that.
Every time I get a... I like home fries. Potatoes are good, but I usually ask for home fries, but it's actually going to be crispy.
