Hi now, you're on Live The Dream Media, Christopher DeSimone. Big Wednesday, back in Studio B.

Oh, the brass is here. You're on Live The Dream Media, and we got a big Wednesday show. Bruce has a big show. He has Attorney General Candidate Warren Peterson followed by an author about doom scrolling. You've seen it. You've done it. You're sitting at the B&B going, droop, burp, burp, burp, doing your thing. So it's happening. So the, and I appreciate all of you texting me about our, whether we're on or not. We are on, and when you see there's no stream, we know there's no stream. So, but we're good. Everything's on. We got a very, very busy show today, 6.3 at the bottom of the hour. We have Conn Davis, he's the CEO of Byrna Technologies. He's a guy who actually is in the manufacturing business. We're going to talk tariffs, economy.

You have these tax cuts that are supposed to be helping people buy more equipment and things like this. So we're going to have a kind of economic snapshot of a guy. Yeah. See, I'm always trying to like, there we go. I'm always trying to point it towards my pie hole. So he's on at bottom of the hour. Seven o'clock, I'm going to do a voting guide run. Also, Bruce is filling out his ballot on the air. A traditional unlike any other. Then we're going to have, actually making her debut, I want to make sure I get this all correct, Dr. Elida Dakoli.

She is a concert pianist. We'll have to have her come to Tucson one day. Then author of a book called Beneath the Silence, growing up under Communism in Albania to her life now. It's pretty inspirational stuff. As some of our Democrats, Socialists, brothers and sisters want to keep having us slouch that way, I always like having guests like this on. So Dr. Elida Dakoli coming on at 7.30, leading into Inside Track with Bruce and Ebb.

Shay, I'm going to have you, we're going to move fast here. We're going to, I just sent you, there's a rumble video that says Justin Murphy. We're going to play that before we get to bottom of the hour. Okay?

So first of all, I want to start off with a positive Thursday, excuse me, Wednesday, it's a big Wednesday. A positive Wednesday for Tucson, which is Terminix, the Pest People. They name their top 50 rat-infested cities in America. And I want to give congratulations to the city of Tucson. You did not make the top 50 rat-infested cities. So let me bang on you on a bunch of other stuff. Now, I don't know about Sam Hughes, remember they had a roof rat problem? Who knew I was going to say that?

Who knew I was going to say a roof rat problem? Turn up sound, we can't hear you. Oh, that was me in the microphone. So thank you. Oh, copy. I appreciate it. So I'll give you a little taste of the rat cities real quick. It won't surprise anyone, New York City is the number one rat infested city, followed by LA, Philly, Frisco, Houston, Chicago, Washington DC, Boston, Mass, Dallas, Detroit, Rock City, Hartford, Connecticut. So, but now Phoenix again did make, they were 31st most rat infested city in America, the city of Phoenix. So Honolulu was on the list, but Tucson, you didn't make it. So, and no, it wasn't because people are eating the rats. I don't want to hear that from any of you. So anyway, congratulations that you're, hopefully, the Queen Mayor will have a Kevin Dahl Chamber of Southern Arizona press conference about this. That would be hot. This is, so we always talk about people's problems with geography. Like, you know, it's a lost skill knowing what things are, right? If we went to the University of Arizona College campus with a map that didn't have names of states, and we pointed at certain ones, how many out of 10 do you think the college kids would get? I would say.

30% would get it, five out of five?

SPEAKER_3 (5:05)

No.

Christopher DeSimone (5:06)

I guess that'd be a question. If we went to the U of A with a map of the United States with names of states not on those states and pointed at five of them, how many would they get?

Two? Maybe two.

All right. Let's see what do we got going here today? Good morning to Pat Barney, Mother Mucker. Good morning, 55 at the Ranch. Jamie, Blue Cord.
