  Speaker 1: Well, this is too good not to talk about you
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: live stream followers, and this is a little bit different
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for you audio listeners. But I had a little trouble
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: getting online today. The story I've been talking about for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like three days has been live in New York because
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: my daughter has had some surgery and that's all good.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Everything's going great, supposed to be discharged today. And you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: know what it's like dealing with doctors in the hospitals
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and their schedules, because it's all about their schedules. Wink wink, nod, nod.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: You know how it goes. So anyway, things delayed. Back
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in I found a conference room. I snuck in too
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: many good things not to talk about or to talk about,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I should say not to do a live stream. So
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm jumping on. And this will be a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: little bit different for you guys that usually listen to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: me at eight a m. Live you're probably long gone,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: but we may find some new folks too, who the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: heck knows. Anyway, thanks for thanks for finding the Wicked
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Radio live stream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That would be me any platform you'll like to find
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it on. Dealing with life as it comes and fighting
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: back against life no matter what that is. And boy
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do we have some stories to exemplify that today. Facebook
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: YouTube right there on the X platform as well, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is where the live stream replay always lives. All good stuff.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And by the way, it's Sinko Demayo. There's a story
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: here to talk about about how clueless we are about
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Senco Demiyo. But it shouldn't stop us from celebrating. It
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: really shouldn't. We'll talk about that as well. Because we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just got out of May the Fourth be with you,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we go right into Senco Demyo. So this is a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: party time of the year, so enjoy it. But the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: story I want to get to more than anything is
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this Barstool Sports story is this was, in my opinion,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the greatest handling of what potentially was an awful situation
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and how a business can handle the rising tide of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism because this was and let's just jump right
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to it. This was unbelievable. What happened really, I would say,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: late Sunday afternoon into this morning and the result of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the entire thing, and I'll give you the background to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: win what happened. Now, if you're not familiar with Barstool Sport.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I canna imagine a lot of you are familiar with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: barstool dot com, barstool Sports, but they handle everything. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: become a big gambling side. Dave Portnoy is the grand
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Pooba of Barstool. He's come under a lot of criticism.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You know, people will call him, you know, he's oh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it's abusive to women, that entire set, they're gambling degenerates whatever.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I have been a Stooley since they started because, in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: my opinion and the twenty years, what Barstool, what that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: guy's been able to turn that into is an amazing,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: an amazing American success story. It's an incredible media story.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I mean literally just the background of Barstool Sports handed out.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Started getting out of college, you went to Michigan, went
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: back to the Boston area, started printing out news, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: just making them and putting him into newsstands on the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: corner of streets. Now it's a multi billion dollar organization.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: This is what this guy turned it into. True exemply
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the and dream of what you can do. So that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: why I've been a fan the whole time. Not everything
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that they do, not all the content, but they are
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: an absolute monster. So jump to pretty much present day
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and they've expanded out to all different kinds of things.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: This barstool different offices around the country, and they also
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: started barstool bars. You know, there's one big one in Philly.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I think they got Chicago as well, I think, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Philly one is the focus of our story today.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So over the weekend, and this happened on Saturday night,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I believe. It was a bottle party at the at
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Barstool Philly location, and a bunch of kids are
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: having a good time, the college aged kids. They're young,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they're drunk, they're dumb, they're having a good time whatever.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It is. Apparently part of the services, you can buy
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a sign and you kind of like the they print
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it out for you and they do well. And you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: probably saw the story already and this is mostly a visual,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but just to describe it for you, one of the kids,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of the kids that were there, the patrons
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: at the bar at Barstool Philly, printed out a sign
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that said f the use like like really, and we're
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like parading this thing around at this location. Videos of it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: The main video from one of the people that were
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in the party went very very very very very viral,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Like this thing was everywhere, so everybody that saw that,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we're saying the same thing. Okay, Barstool's not gonna put
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: up with this, right, I mean, they're not gonna tolerate this.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That can't be. They's got, especially Dave Portnoy, who happens
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to be a Jewish guy. Then I gotta tolerate this
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like no one like Barstool, the Stoolies, the legions of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Barstool sports fans online or not. Then I gotta tolerate this. Right, Well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: here's your answer, Nope, because it took very little time
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: before they shut this right down directly from Dave port
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Anoya himself. And I could gratulate him on this. Now.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: If he had stopped it just this, I would have
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been okay with it. I would have been just as livid.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I was livid just watching this. And I'm not associated
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: at all with that side of that company. Everybody should
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: be offended by this because and he gets to it
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in his in his emergency response video, the rise of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this stuff, the rise of this kind of ignorance, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this hate is everywhere. You don't even have to be
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Jewish to see this, the anti Semitism, hate for all
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: groups unacceptable. But man, has this been thick, and it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: has been everywhere, and lo and behold, and this is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: why I was railing against us when it first happened
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and popped up again this past semester for college age kids,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: these Ivy League schools where this stuff has been allowed.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You know, they gave it lip service with they'll shut
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it down at Harvard and you know Yale, and blocking
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: happened again two weeks ago, blocking Jewish kids out of campuses. Really,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and they didn't shut that down immediately. That's why I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in favor of taking some of their tax status exempt
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: status away. But anyway, it's on the rise. There's no
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. Hate against any particular group or people
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is completely unacceptable. None of us should ever put up
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with it, whether it affects us directly or not. So
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Dave's response was classic and awesome. Again, like I said,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: if you had stopped right here, I would be totally
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: fine with it. But he didn't. And that's really the story.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Could a step further to actually turn this horrific thing
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: into knowledge. So here's his response when his phone was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: blown up like everybody else's was when they saw this
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: story of the f the Jews sign and one of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: his location his business at the Barstool location in in Philly.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So here's his first reaction, as you can well imagine,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm totally understandable. I'm coming to you, Froat.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I'm never ending, and I just sat in the last
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: two hours.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I have been on the trail.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Trust me, I've been on the trail. You think I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: gonna put up with this shit at my bar?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Nope, I didn't think he would. So I was glad
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to said that part of it didn't surprise me good,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and I would have been completely satisfied with that. It
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: went on. You know, it's longer, longer clip than that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: obviously the video, and he went on to say that he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: found the waitresses involved. They were just idiots, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't take any accountability for anything. They're fired. Found the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: exact kids and the party who was involved who created
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that sign, that horrific anti Semitic sign, found them directly
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the internet. The sleuths found them as well, and I wrote,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not in favor of outing or
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: doxing anybody, but when you put this stuff online, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: their original video of this hateful sign went very viral.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Like I said, so you put yourself out there, so
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't really mind that you got exposed. I really don't.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So they were found as well. But then it was,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: like I think it was like twenty minutes later after
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy's original video where he was just seething and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: assuring the world that he wasn't going to tolerate this,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: then it comes out with something that quite honestly blew
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: me away. And I think this was the absolute, total, complete,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: best way to possibly handle this. I thought this was
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely awesome. I love stories where something horrific turns into
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: something positive, or at least the potential for something positive. Right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: because he was totally right to be angry that this
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sign of hate that was floating around his bar and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a video of it went viral. Right then he turns
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: this around and he says, hold on, you know what, Okay,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I knew they are fired. The two idiot waitresses who
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: let this happen and actually created this out whatever it was, found,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the idiot kids who did this. Everybody responsible. But then
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he decided to turn it into a life lesson and he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: giving not even an opportunity. He's demanding that these two
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: idiots that did this go to Auschwitz concentration camp in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Poland to learn a lesson. He talked to anti hate organizations,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: including the CRAFTS because they have that Stop Stop Hate organization.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: He talked to some other people and I think I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: think it was about twenty minutes after his original just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: seebing video. At this day, he's not gonna put up
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: with it, made this announcement and I think this is awesome.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Group We're gonna send these kids to Auschwitz and they're
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: going to do a tour of the concentration camps in
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Germany and hopefully learned something and maybe like their lives
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: aren't ruined.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And they now we had preceded that by saying, of
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: course I could ruin these kids' lives. Of course I could.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And he was on the phone with both of them.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: They were begging him not to do anything like that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: It didn't take I don't know whether it was twenty minutes,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but it was within the hour. Dave came back and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he turned this into a positive. I don't whether, no
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: matter how you feel about Dave Portnoy or Barstool or
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: what they ever did. I already told I already told
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you how much you are respecting to my or their
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: American success story. I just I love what they've done,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: like all their content. Sure they're like a lot of it,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but for him to do that to me is amazing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's amazing because we all know on a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: personal level level, you and I, I and I have
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: talked about this before, saying, no one's gonna put up
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: with personal hate life. You would never tolerate that somebody's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: saying that to your face, something that hateful. Obviously, But
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: isn't this really going to stop when businesses get involved?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't that really what you know? We already everybody is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: calling on these colleges to stop this anti Semitic stuff
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that they've allowed to fester. Everybody is obviously, but a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: business from a business level, if it happened that lair location,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and it did, for Barstool to first of all say
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it's not unacceptable and boy he said that, but secondly
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to do something about it and turn it into hopefully
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a lesson in knowledge and take these kids and make
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: them go to Auschwitz and by the way it's in Poland, Dave,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: not Germany. But that's okay. He was heating the moment
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. And to learn the lesson to turn
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this into a positive I cannot begin to tell you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: how much I admire that that is. That's really something
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's a great example for everybody in what
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you can do, what businesses can do at the business level,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: because we haven't talked about that personal level. Sure, the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Ivy League colleges, but businesses, if they see feel are
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a part of that kind of hate against any group,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: can't be against anybody. To turn the round into something
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: positive and educate, I think is amazing because open your
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: eyes if you haven't noticed the anti Semitic crap that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: going on here or the other hate, you know, sentiment
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that's happening against a bunch of different air of the becaus.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: It's out there, it's thick, it's growing. I never thought,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in my wildest dreams ever ever did I imagine And
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you feel the same way that in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five we'll be talking about the kind
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of anti Semitic bullshit that is happening now in these
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: places like that with young people and lo and behold,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: where's it all coming from. Where's all that propaganda and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that hate? Where's that generating from? Well, these little little
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Ivy League hate incubators aren't helping it at all, but
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is online, and it takes a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: wake up call to be able to turn this around.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So I think what Dave Portnoy did with barstool, I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: just could be congratulated. I think that's amazing. Like I said,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I think he could have stopped at the first thing
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: where he was just outraged and he says I'm going
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to find him, and he did, and I'm not going
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to tolerate that. I want to find with that, but
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to take it a next step further and turn it
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: into something positive. God, that takes balls, and it takes guts,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and it's the right thing to do. If business is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: private commercial entity, stepping up to stop this crap is
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: how that stops. I can't congratulate him enough. By the way,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention the names, but like I said,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the Internet salutes who found these little punks. They found him.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention their names, but this was interesting.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Now turns out one of the students won't give his
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: name goes to Temple University. Oh, I'm sorry, went to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Temple University because they have suspended him. I don't know
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if they're going to take his admissions away over his
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: involvement in the blank. The Jews signed Fiesco at Barstool
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Sports in Philly. That's a school stepping up. Good for you, Temple.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Don't tolerate that crap. You can't. I've already seen the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: comments actually on some of the posts on this. Oh
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: will Harvard or Princeton take them in or Yale? I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. I don't know the heck note. But
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what a great example that is. Is something horrific turned
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: into something positive. Those are my favorite kinds of stories,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the personal story for me, I told you
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: if you guys, that are new to me because they
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: started so late today. I was like getting the bars,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the live stream going here, the Wicked Radio live stream.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Because my daughter's in the hospital. Everything is cool, she's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: about to be checked out today. But doctor schedules, you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: know how that goes back and forth, waiting, and so
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I thought I couldn't do a show today. But I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: found a conference room and I jumped in and too
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: much good stuff to talk about, so I wanted to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: do it. But I learned the most obvious lesson of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: all over the weekend in just dealing with doctors and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: nurses and hospitals and this and that. And it's nothing
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: though we all know, everybody knows this. It's a basic
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: life skill. But sometimes life gives you a reminder. You know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: when you deal if you've ever spent any extended period
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of time in any kind of a hospital situation, you
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: deal with all kinds of personalities. And like I said
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on Friday, I think it was the people who work
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in the healthcare field. They're just amazing. They're just amazing people.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's just it takes a different skill set, a different
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: level of tolerance and patience. Boy, I couldn't do it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: There's no possible way. But they're just they're amazing. Even
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: with that. What I've always called this approach, and this
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is just you know, you could call it just personal knowledge, whatever,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it's people skills. I always call it the best foot
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: forward approach. I learned this a couple of years ago,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: where it's you don't know what the person is, you're
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: going to be dealing with in any situation. It could
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be your mail man, it could be the tax guy,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it could be a doctor, it could be your boss,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: somebody you don't really know. If you take the best
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: foot forward approach where you're gonna be the one reaching out, personable,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: put a smile on your face, try to reach out.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I swear to you, in ninety nine percent of the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: time it works to get what you want out of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the situation, and by reaching out to the person, showing
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: an interest in them, being polite, such men. And this
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: is such over simplistic stuff, but it's so important. I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: swear to god Dale Carnegie, that book How to Win
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Friends and Influence People that he wrote what in the thirties,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, it's never been more important. It
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: really isn't, because it stands up like a sore thumb
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: when you're the one that uses people's skills more so
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: than ever these days. And he figured it out years ago.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's it always works, and it was such a stark
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: reminder with you know, and sometimes you deal with in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: my situation, nurse is coming in and out and they're
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: busy whatever, Just taking the approach to hey, what's your name?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Nice to meet you, thanks for what you do, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: this and that unbelievable reminder on how much better that
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: makes a situation when you put the best foot forward
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: approach you know first, and you're thinking, well, yeah, everybody
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: knows that. Well, yeah, you're right. I think intrinsically we
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do know that. How many of us do it? We're
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: all so busy and you don't realize that you just
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: focused on your own thing you do if you take
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the time to just get to know somebody, acknowledge them,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: respect them, you know, reach out to them a little bit,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: use humor in that situation, put a smile on your face.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable the difference it makes. I think I worked
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: hard on that this weekend with all these nurses was
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: my family was dealing with, and it tried to practice
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it a little bit more. Boy that the attitudes you
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: can turn around just by doing that, it's just unbelievable.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So that's your little wicked wisdom tip of the day,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and which is just a reminder because we all know
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: how to do it right. All right, enough of that stuff.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about what's going on today. Let's not forget
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it's sinkle to my own yea, all right, that's it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: That's enough. Okay, guys, thank you. All right. Well, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it is a fun day. It's fun day to party.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But here's the question. How many of us know exactly?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you? How many of us know exactly what this
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: is all about? The fifth of May. We all know
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that much. So one of these you know, I love
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: my social surveys. I did a poll of all of
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: us to try to figure out, like, if we really
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: know what Sinco to Mayo's all about. Count me in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the failed department. I didn't know all these years, no
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: freaking clue, no idea. So they asked a lot of America.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I guess this is a big phone poll. Thirty nine
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: percent of us said, all, that's Mexican Independence Day, which
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I true my entire life, I have thought that's true.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Twenty six percent said it's a celebration of Mexican American culture. Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Thirteen percent said just a fun excuse to drink. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: was in that category too. Another thirteen percent admit they
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: have no clue what it's all about. Is it turns
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: out none of those things are right. So if you
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: didn't know, we're all we're all in that boat together.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Ten percent of people know the right answer. Apparently, sick
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of to Mio actually commemorates the Mexican victory over the French.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The Battle of Puebla happened on May fifth, eighteen sixty two.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It was one hundred and sixty three years ago. So
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: how do we how would we acknowledge that two dollars
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Margerita's baby, and I'm all for it. So it's still
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: it's a great thing. Really what it's become though, and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: this is actually a great thing. It has become a
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: celebration I think of Mexican American culture. Of course, you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: always going to find the people. It's cultural appropriation. You
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to celebrate with all blooney. These are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the kinds of things. It's like Saint Patrick's Day. These
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: are the kinds of events and holidays that break down barriers.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And it is I bet you a ton of us
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: got to know more about Mexican American culture throughout this
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: holiday and through a lot of Margarita's what is. I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: think it's a great thing. So enjoy it. But if
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you are going out drinking, just be careful, all right,
• 17:46

• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I just I just had the audio for you, But
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: look into the video of how it began and how
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it started, and Dave, Dave Portnoy and deserves a lot
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of credit for turning a very very negative, awful, hateful
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: story into something positive. He did a great job. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be businesses, it's gonna be individual businesses, not to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: all rating this kind of stuff, the anti Semitic and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: other kind of hateful stuff. It's going to get the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: answers for us. It's an amazing story. You did a
