Wicked Radio 7-18: Colbert Cancelled!, The Coldplay Affair Couple, & Trump Playing Chess On Epstein? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: These are the days. These are the days why I
0:07
Speaker 1: will never stop doing this talking about current events, because
0:11
Speaker 1: days like this make everything worth it, all of it.
0:13
Speaker 1: I can't I can't even handle all the winning. Are
0:16
Speaker 1: you telling me that NPR and Colbert are canceled in
0:22
Speaker 1: one week's time? Actually with him like three official days?
0:25
Speaker 1: This is so good? And I know you know. The
0:30
Speaker 1: common saying is you shouldn't celebrate anybody else's demise. No no, no,
0:34
Speaker 1: with them, with them, you should. You should not only
0:37
Speaker 1: celebrate it, you should feel great about it because of
0:40
Speaker 1: Colbert and NPR's crimes against broadcasting, who outlined everything about
0:45
Speaker 1: NPR yesterday and they're officially gonna be gone, cut funding
0:47
Speaker 1: and all that crap soon. And now Stephen Colbert, single
0:51
Speaker 1: handedly the representative of the end of late night comedy
0:55
Speaker 1: now is being canceled himself. This is this is so good.
0:58
Speaker 1: This is so good, feel bad, this is greatness. Of course,
1:02
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the cold Play affair couple.
1:05
Speaker 1: I'm no expert on affairs, thank god, but I will
1:08
Speaker 1: tell you this, this is exactly how you don't handle this.
1:12
Speaker 1: With the quote unquote apology letter that this dude wrote,
1:16
Speaker 1: nobody in our country had a worse week than this guy.
1:20
Speaker 1: And here's the question that's out there. I don't think
1:22
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, but it's a legit question. All
1:25
Speaker 1: of it is. Has Trump been playing for d chess?
1:28
Speaker 1: You see that expression all the time now for D
1:31
Speaker 1: chess on the Epstein thing. No, I don't think so.
1:34
Speaker 1: But there's still a massive potential win for not only
1:39
Speaker 1: him maybe, but the Trump base if you want to
1:42
Speaker 1: call it that. Because and this all goes back to
1:45
Speaker 1: that whole narrative that got busted last week, where have
1:49
Speaker 1: you support Trump? You're in a cult? No, I don't
1:52
Speaker 1: think so, because at the end of this, and if
1:54
Speaker 1: you want to believe the polls, they're burying this out.
1:59
Speaker 1: It's coming together and making it stronger and a better
2:01
Speaker 1: win for them. All Right, we'll talk about all that stuff.
2:04
Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. First of all, Welcome to Friday.
2:06
Speaker 1: What a week we deserve, a week like this, a
2:08
Speaker 1: day like this after a week like this with all
2:10
Speaker 1: this crazy news, and so much of it has been
2:13
Speaker 1: surrounded by that the swamp stuff and political stuff and
2:16
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. All right, here's what I do. I
2:18
Speaker 1: break it down and what does it mean to you
2:19
Speaker 1: and me and everybody else. Right, that's what we do here.
2:22
Speaker 1: And if you're watching or listening to the live stream
2:23
Speaker 1: later on, thanks for the followers, appreciate it. Put your
2:26
Speaker 1: notifications on audio podcasts coming up soon as well. Let's
2:29
Speaker 1: get to before we get to the other stuff, just
2:32
Speaker 1: let me celebrate a win here. Let's all celebrate a win,
2:34
Speaker 1: and it might mean the return of comedy. Here's what
2:38
Speaker 1: I mean. I didn't watch this live because I refuse
2:41
Speaker 1: to watch it, but the news broke as soon as
2:44
Speaker 1: you see.
2:44
Speaker 2: Before we start the show, I want to let you
2:46
Speaker 2: know something that I found out just last night. Yes,
2:49
Speaker 2: next year will be our last season. The network will
2:53
Speaker 2: be ending the Late Show in May.
2:55
Speaker 1: And yes Stephen Colbert announcing that now. First of all,
3:03
Speaker 1: something to pick up before I forget to mention it.
3:05
Speaker 1: Do notice how the I'm using finger quotes audio listeners.
3:09
Speaker 1: The audience was already not There wasn't a shock like,
3:13
Speaker 1: there was already a prepared The timing was a little
3:16
Speaker 1: off a prepared nob like that. That means you know
3:19
Speaker 1: who was in the audience, staffers, people who already knew
3:23
Speaker 1: CBS people, whatever. It was fake from beginning to end
3:27
Speaker 1: with this show. They knew it was coming and it's over.
3:32
Speaker 1: Here's why I'm celebrating, because do you remember if your
3:36
Speaker 1: gen X like me and you grew up mostly in
3:39
Speaker 1: the eighties, and you remember Late night comedy on what
3:41
Speaker 1: it was Leno, Letterman, Carson before that, and how great
3:44
Speaker 1: it was, And they were great. They weren't beholden to anybody,
3:47
Speaker 1: as far as we know. They weren't, you know, towing
3:54
Speaker 1: the line for any political party, right, that's the opposite
3:57
Speaker 1: of comedy. They used to take shots at everybody. This
4:00
Speaker 1: guy was from start to finish, just a stooge, bought
4:07
Speaker 1: and paid for by the Democrats. And I'm telling you,
4:11
Speaker 1: like I always tell you, I would hate it just
4:13
Speaker 1: as much if we had a late night comedian who
4:15
Speaker 1: was bought and paid for by the Republicans. Hate it.
4:19
Speaker 1: That's not what it's about. Comedians are supposed to keep
4:22
Speaker 1: us honest. And I think that's the trend where this
4:26
Speaker 1: is all going. If that guy is going away. Another hint,
4:29
Speaker 1: how about the other night Murs playing some of that
4:31
Speaker 1: sound from Shane Gillis hosting the SP's the ESPN Sports Awards,
4:36
Speaker 1: which was on ABC, and they let him have carte
4:40
Speaker 1: blanche do whatever he wanted. He offended a bunch of people.
4:42
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. That's another good sign. If comedy is back, everybody,
4:47
Speaker 1: if real comedy is back where they're not afraid to
4:49
Speaker 1: take shots at people and hold public figures accountable. All
4:53
Speaker 1: this is such good news. This is such good news.
4:56
Speaker 1: And yeah, okay, whatever. I wouldn't worry about Stephen Colbert
4:59
Speaker 1: anytime soon. But it's a sign that things are getting better.
5:03
Speaker 1: It's a great, great sign that we're all healing. It's fantastic.
5:07
Speaker 1: And here's another little piece of irony. You didn't hear
5:09
Speaker 1: it there, but in the taping where he did that
5:13
Speaker 1: show where he made the announcement, you know who his
5:15
Speaker 1: guest was. Here's proof an example of everything I'm talking about.
5:19
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff. That's right, that's right, Adam Schiff, the California politician.
5:27
Speaker 1: Because Colbert only had on Democratic politicians. And you remember
5:30
Speaker 1: this famous Colbert skit during COVID when he was bought
5:35
Speaker 1: and paid for by the Democrats and also Big Pharma
5:38
Speaker 1: where he had the dancing needles. Probably the honest to god,
5:42
Speaker 1: it's been called the low point in late night comedy.
5:45
Speaker 1: That might have been the end of that era right
5:47
Speaker 1: then where he actually had it promoting people. He was
5:50
Speaker 1: one of the people telling you that you're anti American
5:53
Speaker 1: if you don't get the vacs, if you make your
5:55
Speaker 1: own personal health decision. That's why you gotta celebrate. This
5:59
Speaker 1: is a This is a huge cultural thing that that
6:01
Speaker 1: guy's going away, because it's only just the beginning. All
6:04
Speaker 1: the signs are there. It's all there. Read the tea leaves.
6:07
Speaker 1: We're getting back to being what we were. Honest, it's starting.
6:11
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a long time to want to do
6:13
Speaker 1: all that crap like him having a late night show,
6:16
Speaker 1: but it's getting there. Don't feel bad, my god, Shane
6:21
Speaker 1: Gillis on ABC, Primetime, NPR getting canceled and Stephen Colbert
6:28
Speaker 1: going away. This is this is so good. All right,
6:33
Speaker 1: let's get to the big story that everybody's talking about.
6:36
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm gonna tell you right at the outset.
6:38
Speaker 1: I don't care about the politics of it. I don't care.
6:41
Speaker 1: I don't care if this is a win for Trump.
6:43
Speaker 1: I don't care if this is a win for the
6:44
Speaker 1: Democrats who hate him. I don't care if this is
6:46
Speaker 1: a win for the Rhino. I don't care. All I
6:49
Speaker 1: care about are wins for us, the American people, the
6:52
Speaker 1: common man and woman. What does it mean for all
6:55
Speaker 1: of us with the whole Epstein thing? Okay, well, tuh boy.
7:01
Speaker 1: I think it was Monday we were playing this. I
7:04
Speaker 1: think it was Bennie Johnson, the podcaster. Now Benny is
7:06
Speaker 1: one of the you know Trump everything Trump does is
7:08
Speaker 1: great kind of guy. But he also called for transparency,
7:12
Speaker 1: and that was a good thing to see. This is
7:13
Speaker 1: what I'm getting it. So the Trump base, if you
7:15
Speaker 1: want to call it that, the honest ones, we're calling
7:19
Speaker 1: for transparency, saying, well, you're handling this really badly, but
7:22
Speaker 1: it's not going to knock me off the Trump train.
7:24
Speaker 1: There have been too many wins to do that, right.
7:26
Speaker 1: The honest people were telling you that had that exact
7:28
Speaker 1: same mindset. Do you remember On Monday he played a
7:31
Speaker 1: little audio from Laura Trump who was talking to Benny Johnson,
7:34
Speaker 1: who said she thinks all of this stuff is coming.
7:37
Speaker 1: They're working on this right now, and in fact, this
7:41
Speaker 1: is what she's said. Amazing how that's all gone.
7:43
Speaker 3: So I don't know that this was top a line
7:46
Speaker 3: for him, but he hears all the noise, and he
7:47
Speaker 3: hears all of the consternation out there, and I think
7:50
Speaker 3: he's gonna want to set things right as well. So
7:52
Speaker 3: I believe that there will probably.
7:54
Speaker 1: Be more coming on this, and I.
7:56
Speaker 3: Believe anything that they are able to release that doesn't
7:59
Speaker 3: you know, Emma, Jinny witnesses or anyone under age or
8:02
Speaker 3: anything like that, I'm relie no, probably trying to get
8:05
Speaker 3: out sooner rather than like everything.
8:07
Speaker 1: Now, before we get to the post from Trump last
8:09
Speaker 1: night on truth Social which made all the news, which
8:11
Speaker 1: really is the top story in the country today because
8:13
Speaker 1: of what's supposed to be released, what's not going to
8:16
Speaker 1: be released, whatever, What does it mean to you and
8:17
Speaker 1: me and everybody else. This is what it means anybody
8:20
Speaker 1: throughout this whole messy, disgusting saga, right which has plagued
8:24
Speaker 1: us for well technically years, but really top of mind
8:28
Speaker 1: for everybody for like two three weeks. What does it
8:31
Speaker 1: mean for all of us? Here's what it means. People
8:34
Speaker 1: who were honest with you, who had the right view
8:37
Speaker 1: on this, common sense view on it was man. He
8:40
Speaker 1: handled this badly, the whole damn thing. But you know,
8:43
Speaker 1: it's not the most important issue in the world. Anybody
8:45
Speaker 1: who said that was being completely honest with you, and
8:47
Speaker 1: those are the people you should listen to. Well, here
8:50
Speaker 1: we go now, this calling for transparency. This is why
8:53
Speaker 1: it was okay the entire time to say listen, big guy,
8:57
Speaker 1: team men, show your work. Okay, just show what you
9:00
Speaker 1: have so you can put this thing to bed. I
9:03
Speaker 1: said yesterday. He listens if there was any president who
9:07
Speaker 1: was able to take this, read the tea leaves, read
9:08
Speaker 1: the base and say, Okay, I can't believe people are
9:12
Speaker 1: so worked up on this, but okay, we'll do it.
9:14
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he said in this post, which read,
9:17
Speaker 1: based on the ridiculous amount of publicity, give it to
9:19
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein that asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce
9:22
Speaker 1: any pertinent grand jury testimony subject to court approval. And
9:27
Speaker 1: he goes on to say, in you know, his opinion,
9:29
Speaker 1: to get his shots in there. This scam perpetuated by
9:32
Speaker 1: the Democrat should end and end right now. Pam Bondi
9:36
Speaker 1: takes that and says, President Trump, we're ready to move
9:38
Speaker 1: the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts. This
9:41
Speaker 1: is all anybody asked for. Anybody, this is all anybody
9:45
Speaker 1: wanted was show your work and what you have. Now,
9:49
Speaker 1: is anything gonna come from this that will answer everybody's
9:51
Speaker 1: questions about what the whole thing was the whole gross Epstein?
9:54
Speaker 1: Was he an Israeli asset? Was he a CIA asset?
9:57
Speaker 1: Was it? I don't know. No. Probably, Here's what it
10:01
Speaker 1: means for normal people like you and me. Here's what
10:04
Speaker 1: it means. Transparency wins. This is all we wanted. They
10:08
Speaker 1: are in it because of these questions. Everybody wasn't afraid
10:11
Speaker 1: to ask. You know, somehow we forgot this concept that
10:14
Speaker 1: two things can be true. You can support your favorite
10:16
Speaker 1: president and also demand transparency because they bungled it. You know,
10:20
Speaker 1: that's actually a concept. You can do that kind of thing.
10:22
Speaker 1: You're not an enemy of MAGA. If you dare question
10:27
Speaker 1: Trump on something, duh. The win for all of us
10:33
Speaker 1: is exactly what he said last night or whatever, even
10:36
Speaker 1: before whatever the hell they have gets revealed today. Now
10:39
Speaker 1: you maybe watching or listening to this later on and
10:41
Speaker 1: it's like we have some kind of earth shattering thing.
10:43
Speaker 1: It changes the country and it blows up to see
10:45
Speaker 1: I am I don't know. I have no idea that's
10:48
Speaker 1: in the future. And sometime today. We're going to find
10:50
Speaker 1: that later on. And like I said, if you're listening
10:52
Speaker 1: to this later on, maybe you already know what's in it.
10:55
Speaker 1: My guess is probably nothing. They probably have nothing. Wouldn't
11:00
Speaker 1: it make sense that anything that was in there got
11:02
Speaker 1: destroyed years ago? Doesn't that make sense? But what set
11:06
Speaker 1: everybody off, just normal people, and why this became a
11:09
Speaker 1: massive issue that will never go away ever because it
11:12
Speaker 1: became mainstream, was that it looked like, after all the
11:16
Speaker 1: talk they were telling us to forget about it. Well,
11:20
Speaker 1: this isn't an apology, but this is again that phrase,
11:25
Speaker 1: just show your work, just show what you have. That's
11:28
Speaker 1: all anybody's asking for. That's all it is, that's all
11:32
Speaker 1: anybody wants on this. Do you remember when they were
11:35
Speaker 1: released and nothing was really in it, like it'll be
11:37
Speaker 1: just like that. Do you remember the whole JFK thing
11:39
Speaker 1: that they released a couple was that a couple of
11:40
Speaker 1: months ago and there was nothing groundbreaking in there? But
11:43
Speaker 1: nobody talks about that anymore. You know why? Because they
11:45
Speaker 1: showed what they have and it looked pretty honest. They're like,
11:50
Speaker 1: you know the effectively Pambondi going, well, these are the
11:54
Speaker 1: files we had when we got into office. Here's what
11:56
Speaker 1: we have. You look at it and decide, all right,
11:59
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. That's all anybody's asking for
12:02
Speaker 1: with this freakin' Epstein thing. And I know there's a
12:04
Speaker 1: lot of calls, and it's like, see there's the other
12:07
Speaker 1: people out there today. Somebody at work is going to
12:09
Speaker 1: say this today. See he's been playing three four DJs
12:14
Speaker 1: while everybody criticized him. See he's gonna come up with
12:16
Speaker 1: this earth shattering thing. No, the win is, believe it
12:21
Speaker 1: or not, not going to be in these files, whatever
12:24
Speaker 1: the hell's there. I don't think anyway, unless it's something
12:26
Speaker 1: earth shattering, the win is. This just made. And I'm
12:32
Speaker 1: trying to be objective about this. This just made. If
12:34
Speaker 1: you consider yourself in the Trump base, maga, whatever you
12:38
Speaker 1: want to call it, this just made that entire movement
12:41
Speaker 1: about a thousand times stronger. Why why is that bill?
12:45
Speaker 1: Everybody's been fighting for three and a half weeks. Here's why.
12:48
Speaker 1: And it goes back to something we discovered I think
12:51
Speaker 1: last weekend. The whole narrative that oh, you're a Trump supporter,
12:56
Speaker 1: you're in a cult, you don't question anything he does,
13:00
Speaker 1: goes that because it's been constant questioning and bickering and
13:03
Speaker 1: back forth, but back and forth. When this thing is
13:06
Speaker 1: finally settled down and all the dust settles and the
13:08
Speaker 1: silt goes to the bottom of the lake on this swamp,
13:12
Speaker 1: everybody got stronger on this because now it's way more legitimate.
13:16
Speaker 1: You don't have any kind of a legit fan base
13:19
Speaker 1: or support group or people in your corner unless they're
13:24
Speaker 1: willing to ask legitimate questions. And if he comes out
13:28
Speaker 1: and says, this is what we got, here's what you
13:29
Speaker 1: wanted here, whatever, it's not much in it. I told you, Yeah,
13:33
Speaker 1: he wins. Sure, And the polls are already saying that
13:36
Speaker 1: he hasn't lost much support. But regular people win. The
13:41
Speaker 1: country wins because the questions were at and they at
13:45
Speaker 1: least showed their work and what they have. That's huge,
13:49
Speaker 1: absolutely huge. I don't think whatever win is in there
13:51
Speaker 1: is going to be whatever the positive is is going
13:53
Speaker 1: to be in these files that they release for Dchess. No,
13:56
Speaker 1: it's gonna be that you have a president in there
13:58
Speaker 1: that actually heard the base. He would surprised by it
14:00
Speaker 1: and a little pissed off because he's like, what about
14:02
Speaker 1: all the other good stuff I'm doing. But okay, you
14:05
Speaker 1: want this here? That is massive. Don't forget about this.
14:09
Speaker 1: We've never had it. We've never had it before. I mean,
14:12
Speaker 1: maybe there was a president in maybe Reagan would have
14:15
Speaker 1: if we had social media and enough people in the
14:18
Speaker 1: general consciousness all ask him the same questions at once. Hey,
14:22
Speaker 1: we were told you had some stuff, show it. Maybe
14:24
Speaker 1: he would have responded to that. I don't know, but
14:27
Speaker 1: Trump did. And now the president's been said, where if
14:31
Speaker 1: enough people ask questions and the demand answers on something
14:33
Speaker 1: or at least your best explanation on something, the people win.
14:39
Speaker 1: I love it. No, Well, they learn their lesson. All
14:41
Speaker 1: the underlings. I'll tell you what led to this. You
14:42
Speaker 1: know what led to this. All his underlings, all of
14:45
Speaker 1: these staff members, all this, everybody and his team wouldn't
14:47
Speaker 1: shut the hell up, right, And that concludes a lot
14:50
Speaker 1: of people. Pam Bondi, of course, Cash, Betel Bongino, all
14:54
Speaker 1: more people than all of them, all in there as
14:56
Speaker 1: soon as they got in. Oh, what you're gonna see
14:57
Speaker 1: is amazing. It's good. I'm looking at it on my
14:59
Speaker 1: desk right, Yeah, it's incredible. Oh, we're gonna reveal everything.
15:02
Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna do. Shut the hell up, because the America.
15:06
Speaker 1: All we want as Americans is show don't tell, show
15:11
Speaker 1: us what you have. Stop talking so frickin' much. That's
15:14
Speaker 1: what will they learn their lesson? I don't think so.
15:16
Speaker 1: It's too many egos involved. There's no way to let now.
15:19
Speaker 1: They probably won't. They'll still talk and still send people
15:22
Speaker 1: down a rabbit sole. But this at least is a
15:26
Speaker 1: really big start. Huge. Here's a speaking of huge. So
15:31
Speaker 1: this is another fail where they tried to get Trump
15:33
Speaker 1: on this thing. I think this is what led people
15:35
Speaker 1: to the to the conspiracy theory was like he's been
15:37
Speaker 1: playing four D chess the whole time. This old Wall
15:40
Speaker 1: Street Journal article saying that Trump sent a letter with
15:43
Speaker 1: a with a cartoon to Epstein. This was probably the
15:47
Speaker 1: biggest fake news media fail I've ever seen. It's so
15:51
Speaker 1: fast and it's already been blown up. Here's how you
15:54
Speaker 1: know it was fake right away. Immediately as soon as
15:56
Speaker 1: this story broke, they already had the Trump enemies. Bill Crystal,
16:00
Speaker 1: who might hate Trump of more than anybody on earth,
16:04
Speaker 1: immediately already booked on CNN to talk about this thing.
16:07
Speaker 1: And he's he's reading from the letter. This was before
16:10
Speaker 1: Trump's own response. But here's Bill click, here's how you
16:13
Speaker 1: know this was faked? Yes, we do, come to think
16:15
Speaker 1: of it, Donald Enigma's never age. Should you notice that, Jeffrey.
16:19
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me
16:21
Speaker 1: the last time I saw you for me, I mean,
16:24
Speaker 1: that's a kind of weird. What is enigmas? I mean
16:27
Speaker 1: is that a word that Trump and Epstein used to
16:29
Speaker 1: convey something that they shared. Wow? That only now they
16:35
Speaker 1: don't produce the letter, They can't substantiate it. It's just
16:38
Speaker 1: fake news. It's fake garbage. And everybody that pays attention
16:42
Speaker 1: to the news and carent events was waiting for the
16:43
Speaker 1: same thing. You know, you're reading your headline on your phone.
16:47
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal says they have incriminating letter of Trump. Okay,
16:50
Speaker 1: well let me start the clock. And when Trump responds
16:52
Speaker 1: to this and launches a lawsuit three two one, Trump
16:56
Speaker 1: comes out on truth Social saying he's going to sue
16:58
Speaker 1: the pants off of the Wall Street Journal. Absolutely absolutely
17:03
Speaker 1: nothing to it. So it was complete es from the
17:06
Speaker 1: beginning out it as bs, it's going nowhere, and in
17:10
Speaker 1: the end, because it is fake news, it's gonna wind
17:13
Speaker 1: up being a massive win for Trump. It just is.
17:15
Speaker 1: And let me tell you there's another takeaway on this
17:17
Speaker 1: that we can all apply to our lives. Like the
17:18
Speaker 1: normal people who don't get sued by Trump or have
17:22
Speaker 1: your name in the Wall Street Journal, find yourself a friend,
17:28
Speaker 1: an employee, a business partner, a buddy, a sidekick who
17:34
Speaker 1: loves you as much as JD. Vance loves Trump. Because
17:37
Speaker 1: this was a pretty awesome statement too. Now, this post
17:41
Speaker 1: from JD. Dvance came out even before the lawsuit was announced,
17:45
Speaker 1: and this is great. J D Man says, forgive my language,
17:49
Speaker 1: but this story is complete another bullshit. The Wall Street
17:52
Speaker 1: Journal should be ashamed of publishing it. Where's the letter?
17:54
Speaker 1: Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it
17:56
Speaker 1: to us before publishing it? Does anybody honestly believe this
17:58
Speaker 1: sounds like Donald Trump? That's loyalty. And I think just
18:02
Speaker 1: by saying that he was probably in good graces for
18:05
Speaker 1: Trump in the future, but just by saying that, I
18:07
Speaker 1: think he just I think he just cemented it for himself.
18:09
Speaker 1: The whole thing is just ridiculous. Again, gonna wind up
18:12
Speaker 1: being a massive win for Trump because he fought back.
18:15
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's for d chess and he
18:17
Speaker 1: outsmarted everybody. But sometimes it doesn't even have to be
18:21
Speaker 1: that complicated. Just just play the simple game, all right,
18:25
Speaker 1: Speaking about smarting yourself, everybody knows about the cold Play
18:30
Speaker 1: a fair couple, and we'll wrap it up with this,
18:32
Speaker 1: not to laugh at their pain anymore, because I don't
18:35
Speaker 1: think anybody had a worse week than these two. Oh,
18:37
Speaker 1: I totally deserved. I totally get it. I understand that,
18:40
Speaker 1: but amazingly they actually he this CEO of this Astronomer
18:47
Speaker 1: web site, actually made it worse for himself. So here's
18:51
Speaker 1: the background of the story, which I'm sure you've heard already.
18:53
Speaker 1: It was a cold Play show and this couple was
18:56
Speaker 1: there in a skybox and apparently as part of the
18:58
Speaker 1: cold Play show they do like a kiss can. Well
19:00
Speaker 1: he's playing a solo acoustic guitar, and you know they
19:03
Speaker 1: focus in on couples. Well, obviously they focus in on
19:06
Speaker 1: Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, and the chief HR
19:10
Speaker 1: official is they're they're together, sharing an intimate moment, and
19:14
Speaker 1: then they were put on the stadium cam which went
19:16
Speaker 1: viral and now everybody's seen it. Well they're not they're
19:20
Speaker 1: they're they're not officially together, they're just together together. You
19:23
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. This was the moment it happened
19:26
Speaker 1: live all right, Come on, youth, Oh what Either they're
19:34
Speaker 1: having an affair.
19:34
Speaker 3: Or they're just gun shun.
19:37
Speaker 1: Now the first questions were, Oh, maybe they're just you know,
19:40
Speaker 1: maybe that's just not what we thought it was. No,
19:42
Speaker 1: is exactly what you thought it was. But amazingly, amazingly,
19:46
Speaker 1: this guy, and I'm talking about Andy Byron, the CEO
19:49
Speaker 1: of Astronomer, made it worse for himself. How do you
19:52
Speaker 1: make it worse, you know, besides being outed for the
19:55
Speaker 1: whole world, being the viral video of the week so far,
20:00
Speaker 1: having your wife already your actual wife, change her last
20:04
Speaker 1: name on her Facebook page the next day. I don't
20:08
Speaker 1: mean to laugh at the guy's pain, but you know,
20:09
Speaker 1: he did get into it himself. Here's how you make
20:11
Speaker 1: that worse. You come out with a quote unquote apology
20:15
Speaker 1: letter and you actually blame the band. That's what he did.
20:21
Speaker 1: Now it's long, I'll go through the I'll go through
20:23
Speaker 1: the main points for you. This is from Andy Byron.
20:25
Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge the moment has been circulating online
20:27
Speaker 1: disappointment it's caused was supposed to be a night of
20:31
Speaker 1: music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake playing
20:36
Speaker 1: out in a very public stage. Yes, absolutely, blah blah
20:39
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I'm strutting my employees, my family, but
20:42
Speaker 1: this is not who I am, where I want to
20:43
Speaker 1: be and want to represent the company I helped build.
20:46
Speaker 1: I'm taking time to reflect. Yeah you should. Here's the
20:50
Speaker 1: amazing part of the quote unquote apology letter from Andy Byron.
20:55
Speaker 1: I also want to express how troubling it is that
20:58
Speaker 1: what should have been a private moment became public without
21:01
Speaker 1: my consent. Huh. I respect artists and entertainers, but I
21:06
Speaker 1: hope we can all think more deeply about the impact
21:09
Speaker 1: turning someone else's life into a spectacle. I think you
21:13
Speaker 1: did that yourself, Andy. And then he wraps up the
21:16
Speaker 1: letter by by quoting a Cold Play lyric. My God,
21:22
Speaker 1: So there's all right, here's the thing. So that was
21:25
Speaker 1: worded very badly. So here's the big takeaway for everybody
21:28
Speaker 1: else if you're ever in trouble in a setting like that,
21:31
Speaker 1: in the public setting. Note of us her experts. But
21:34
Speaker 1: I think this is common sense. Don't try to write
21:38
Speaker 1: the letter yourself, because it is heartfelt, obviously, and it
21:42
Speaker 1: is from him. You know, have a professional do it.
21:46
Speaker 1: You go to your HR manager and have her write
21:51
Speaker 1: the letter. So the oh wait a minute, no, oh sorry,
21:56
Speaker 1: that wasn't an option, because apparently the lady who's having
21:58
Speaker 1: a convert with was the HR manager your own. All right,
22:02
Speaker 1: never mind, Just don't have an affair in public. That's
22:06
Speaker 1: the takeaway. All right, I'm out of here. It's Friday.
22:08
Speaker 1: We gotta have our weekend. Let's see. Let's see what's
22:10
Speaker 1: going on. Maybe by the time you're listening and watching
22:12
Speaker 1: this later there's some kind of big reveal of the
22:14
Speaker 1: Epstein files and all this. I don't know. I don't care.
22:17
Speaker 1: The answer for all of us has already happened. You
22:20
Speaker 1: ask questions fairly and they're gonna show their work. Fine,
22:24
Speaker 1: it's all anybody was asking for, And I do agree
22:26
Speaker 1: with the guy. Let's put it to bed. Other than that,
22:30
