Hello, my friends, to the show.
Big Wednesday, Marty says it's show 350, is this true, Shay? Holy moly.
They told me I wasn't gonna get past 100 around here, so here we are, Live The Dream Media. Here we are, Christy Simone, Shay, the superstar producer and director of a lot of things around here. So she gives me hope for the next generation, Shay does. So actually, I meet a lot of people in Shay's age group, and they give me a lot of hope.
The 30- to 40-year-olds scare me a little bit, but the 18-to-25s, I see some good spirit there, and they're not buying the bullcrap that the world's selling them in a good light. So I appreciate that. Dr. Neal, he may be there early, but Dr. Neal will be in studio in the third hour. We're going to do wildfires, water, all that good stuff. Then also in breaking news, I don't know if you know this, the third week of June in Tucson and Phoenix, this is, please, everyone sit down. And if you're driving your car, pull over to the side of the road so I don't freak you out here. The third week of June is hot. Did you guys know that? I didn't know that. I've only been here since 1988 and I did not know that the third week of June is hot. Unbelievable. And we've had hotter. I remember being up in White Mountains, racist, and we were in Greer on a Saturday. It was like second Saturday. I just saw some photo memories. Second Saturday and we got blessed with this amazing rain up there. Like literally, we went to go visit a buddy in Greer and it was like, it was like 60 degrees and raining. I was just like standing. There was also by the little river out there. There was a beaver dam. I remember me and one of my kids out there just checking out the beaver dam and it was raining. I was like, this is glorious. But I remember it was like 115 in Tucson at the same time. I'm kind of going, so I just watched the news cycle. June is hot, especially that third, fourth week before monsoons can kick off.
Also, hot is heat. Heat is hot. I don't know if you guys know any of this. It's with all the things going on with the world, we're covering a lot of heat is hot stories, so magnificent. Then my boy Kurt Couchman from Americans for Prosperity will be on video at seven o'clock. Of course, he's our guy that we geek out on budgets and finances. He's like Schweikert's level, maybe better geekiness on how we attempt to pay for things around this place, meaning the United States of America. So Kurt's always great, a lot of meat with Kurt. Tomorrow is a special episode of Blossom, as we used to say, that show was on 25 years before Shay was born. But I think she might have liked it.
Yeah, it was crap in the beginning. I apologize for saying that.
Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, Gate Braseno, 95-year-old Korean war vet, will be here in studio. Him and his lovely wife are coming, Margot will be here. We are going to do a amazing discussion with Gate Braseno. So, I am honored whenever I can spend any time with Gate, let alone on the air. So, you want to, it's part of our, part of our America 250 series. Look at that. So anyway, so today, Couchman, Dr. Neal, we're going to play you one of the most honest videos about being manipulat, a guy realized he was being manipulated by social media algorithms. And it starts off a little rough, and then it comes to a good clear ending. So, we're going to do that. Early ballots are getting mailed out today. Kazaris Kelly is driving the forklift over to the post office, where they'll get in the post office and head up to Phoenix, get sorted. I feel like I'm doing, Dana Carvey doing HW, getting sorted, getting sorted. And then they'll get mailed back, and you'll get them in your mailbox by Friday or Saturday morning. You will see 20,000 DeSimone postcards in your mailbox tomorrow. It's a coming. We're going to cover this town with green. Covered with green. It's coming. That's happening tomorrow. Thanks to all of you who shared my new commercial that our friends here at LT did for us. Getting a lot of wonderful reviews.
Yeah, maybe we'll... Let's see. Hi, I'm Christopher DeSimone. Hold on. I'm going to send this to Shay. Let's just play this sucker, too. While we're here, we have a show with video. Let's do it.
