Warner Brothers hate one, and then we'll get out of hate. All right, let's go. It's six o'clock Arizona time, nine o'clock Eastern. Let's get going on Wake Up Live with Christopher DeSimone.

The crew is, this place is like Santa's workshop in December. Shay and Tony, both in their early 20s, were here before I was. Well, that needs to happen anyway. But we got to go. This we got to remote tomorrow at the Marana Pumpkin Patch. I got to start crocheting little pumpkin microphone cozies.

It's a thing. I want to thank Shelley and Ted for filling in for me yesterday. It worked out great. Went up to Phoenix and had some meetings, and then had dinner with my son and Dave Slaven. And then we went to the Beat The Music of King Crimson concert at Celebrity Theatre, which was amazing. Amazing.

And then David worked out some backstage passes. So I got to geek out with a couple of my guys, which was fun. As my son said, as he was following me around talking to these guys, he goes, it was like watching a walking, talking wake up show, but you were geeking out with your progressive rock guys. So I said, I'll take that. So Tony Levin was great. Adrian Ballou was amazing. And also Terry Bozio, the drummer. I didn't get to talk to Steve Vai. We kind of did the yo, but he was busy with a bunch of other people on the other side of the little room we were in. So and it was 11 o'clock and my son had to go to work the next day. So we're like, but it was nice staying at his place instead of doing the, I've done the drive down the Tucson after a show in Phoenix. And I know a bunch of you have, so DeSimone falls asleep by the time he gets to Eloy. No grazie. No, no grazie. So anyway, Shelley and Ted were great. I watched the interview with Hassam, I watched part of David's, and then I watched a little bit of John that had to get going. But I did have coffee, long coffee with David on Wednesday.

At the old, what the old Chompy's on Shea. And we had a good discussion about upcoming elections, debrief on stuff. It was very, very good. So thank you again for everyone who helped out. And it was a good show. Mark will be here in a little bit. Aerial Combat Movies. And we got a lot of stuff to cover today. I don't know if we're going to get to it all. Good morning to Big Dave, Mona Mothermucker, Billy Beard, Murph and Holden. No Wind at Raccoon Ranch, Cloudy67, good morning to Jamie.

I forgot to take down my stupid wind chime this morning, so that's what woke me up at 3.55 this morning. So, it happens, it happens. Remember, Dave's show is coming on after me, followed by Bob Elliott. Pat, good morning, Pat Hirsch, good morning. I gotta get into, before Mark gets here and we lighten our load with stuff here a little bit. 425, 425, 425

That is the Pima County Expenditure Limit thing.

And it has been fascinating to watch the Yes side on this. And I'm gonna tell you why it's fascinating. Because they have no real spokesperson other than Taxasaurus Rex. Oh, damn it, I forgot that. So we went to Rex's last town series of town halls he ever did in his life. And we were very respectful, but he crumbled under questioning on property taxes. And I'm sure he went, I am never doing that again. Let's see, Taxasaurus Rex. I gotta find the picture.

That was one of my best homemade signs. Oh, there it is. Thank God, I gotta get this to Shay. Shay, I gotta send this to you, and then I just want you to kind of split screen me in this picture if you can. Okay, please. For this segment.

SPEAKER_5 (5:23)

Shay, Shay, Shay, Shay.

Christopher DeSimone (5:28)

Ah, this is one of my best, this is one of my best homemade artwork. I've done some good ones. This one's, this one's pretty hot. So, so for some reason, Taxasaurus Rex is that, is the only person out there talking about yes vote. They can't even find a stooge to do it. But you know what we're going to do, of course, look, then we got to get to the campaign finance report, which is.
