0:33
Speaker 2: you are probably gonna miss.
0:35
Speaker 1: Okay, Winter Olympics story. The Olympics open up.
0:38
Speaker 2: Opening ceremony is about an hour from now, and it's
0:42
Speaker 2: gonna draw billions of viewers, just a whole pack of dignitaries.
0:46
Speaker 2: It'll be going into They're gonna go into Milan Sun
0:49
Speaker 2: Siero Stadium and so there's gonna be a grand unveiling
0:54
Speaker 2: of the Winter Games. Also, it's a grand target for terrorists.
1:00
Speaker 2: Franz Regal, who led the cyber security efforts in the
1:03
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four Olympics in Paris, said, if attackers want
1:07
Speaker 2: to alter the games, to sabotage the Games, it's the
1:10
Speaker 2: opening ceremony where they go to So we got more
1:13
Speaker 2: than one thousand performers and they're going to act as
1:18
Speaker 2: Italy's calling card to.
1:19
Speaker 1: The world, because that's what happens during these Olympics.
1:22
Speaker 2: And nowadays we cannot talk about the Olympics without talking
1:26
Speaker 2: about security. You know, over the years, we've done a
1:29
Speaker 2: lot of Olympics story. Every four years we do it,
1:32
Speaker 2: and security has become more and more of a story
1:35
Speaker 2: to where the security issues are probably the primary story
1:39
Speaker 2: of the Olympics. So what you have is at this
1:44
Speaker 2: point literally one of the largest most complex security operations
1:48
Speaker 2: in Italian history, only to be beat by the next Olympics,
1:52
Speaker 2: only to be beat by the Olympics after that, six
1:56
Speaker 2: thousand security personnel, a fleet of drones and rows, and
2:02
Speaker 2: the cyber attacks, that's the one that even though people
2:06
Speaker 2: don't die like a terrorist attack, it affects so many people,
2:12
Speaker 2: can affect the entire games. Italian officials said they had
2:16
Speaker 2: thwarted an attempted cyber attack on some government and Olympics
2:20
Speaker 2: related websites. It's just happened yesterday, including hotels in Cortina,
2:28
Speaker 2: and the Foreign minister said these were Russian in origin.
2:34
Speaker 1: Now little history.
2:36
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen major cyber attack attributed to Russia, by the way,
2:42
Speaker 2: led to a disruption of the opening ceremonies of the
2:45
Speaker 2: Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Took out internet
2:50
Speaker 2: access and telecasts, grounded drones supposed to be part of
2:54
Speaker 2: the ceremonies. They do drones now instead of fireworks, really
2:57
Speaker 2: and interesting stuff, shut down the game's website, prevented spectators
3:01
Speaker 2: from printing out tickets, which is why the opening ceremonies,
3:05
Speaker 2: you saw so many empty seats in the stands. Do
3:09
Speaker 2: you know what a ticket costs to go to opening ceremony?
3:13
Speaker 2: How you could have empty seats impossible except under these circumstances.
3:19
Speaker 2: And Russia was trying to disguise that attack as being
3:24
Speaker 2: perpetrated by North Korea, which was not the case. And
3:28
Speaker 2: Russians have been a menace to the Olympics for more
3:31
Speaker 2: than a decade. Why it goes back to the exposure
3:34
Speaker 2: of the state sponsored doping program where Russian athletes have been.
3:40
Speaker 1: Banned from the Olympics.
3:42
Speaker 2: That ban continued on because of Ukraine, the Russia's twenty
3:48
Speaker 2: two twenty two invasion of Ukraine. Now, Russian athletes we
3:51
Speaker 2: talked about this yesterday. Russian athletes are allowed to compete
3:56
Speaker 2: because these you know, just the sheer understanding of what
4:01
Speaker 2: these athletes do. They spend a lifetime practicing and just
4:08
Speaker 2: every minute of their lives. They don't have social lives.
4:11
Speaker 2: They just I don't know if you've ever known an
4:14
Speaker 2: Olympic athlete.
4:16
Speaker 1: I dated one.
4:16
Speaker 2: I dated an Olympic diver when I was in high
4:20
Speaker 2: school and we didn't have time to do anything. I mean,
4:24
Speaker 2: all she did was literally dive dive, dive after school,
4:29
Speaker 2: before school weekends in.
4:31
Speaker 1: The old time or special Olympics. Very funny. The Olympics.
4:36
Speaker 1: She won the nationals the year before, and unfortunately during
4:39
Speaker 1: the Olympic.
4:39
Speaker 2: Trials she got sick and had the flu that day
4:43
Speaker 2: and can you imagine that, and her coach stopped And
4:48
Speaker 2: this is a true story, and you're not going to
4:50
Speaker 2: be surprised. Her coach forced her to give me up.
4:57
Speaker 2: It's either you or diving, or yeah, you get rid of
5:01
Speaker 2: handle or diving. You have to make a decision, which,
5:03
Speaker 2: of course, she gave up me. And that's because all
5:06
Speaker 2: we did was eat fast food and she put on
5:09
Speaker 2: weight while we were dating. If you saw my car
5:13
Speaker 2: at that time, the floor of the car was nothing
5:17
Speaker 2: but rappers from McDonald's, from fast food establishments, and so
5:25
Speaker 2: you know, I know firsthand what it takes well first
5:27
Speaker 2: of all to eat fast food that much, but also
5:29
Speaker 2: what it takes to be an Olympic athlete. So anyway,
5:32
Speaker 2: Russian athletes can participate, but only as neutrals, not representing Russia.
5:41
Speaker 1: And here's what Russia has done recently.
5:44
Speaker 2: They've hacked vents, They've had a disinformation campaign, and this
5:50
Speaker 2: was before the Paris Olympics, including a fake documentary featuring
5:55
Speaker 2: the voice of Tom Cruise.
5:56
Speaker 1: Which was completely faked.
5:59
Speaker 2: And then the big issue here, why the ones that
6:02
Speaker 2: Italians are most upset about is ICE is coming and
6:07
Speaker 2: they are livid. The Italians are livid to the point
6:10
Speaker 2: where the US government says, yeah, ICE is coming, but
6:12
Speaker 2: only as an intelligence, intelligence and liaison gathering attributable to
6:18
Speaker 2: Olympic Games, which ICE does constantly at all international events
6:23
Speaker 2: or most international big events.
6:25
Speaker 1: So there's nothing unusual here.
6:26
Speaker 2: But the Italians want nothing to do with ICE, I
6:30
Speaker 2: mean zero, because not only does ICE have a questionable
6:34
Speaker 2: reputation now because of the protests and the deportations and
6:41
Speaker 2: sweeping up people, but only the worst of the worst keep.
6:44
Speaker 1: That in mind.
6:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Rene Good and Alex pretty the worst of
6:49
Speaker 2: the worst. But also is that this goes around the world.
6:53
Speaker 2: I mean it has become huge news protests around the world.
6:58
Speaker 1: All right.
7:00
Speaker 2: The Grammys just happened last Sunday. Billie Eilish was up
7:07
Speaker 2: there at the podium and said, no one is illegal
7:11
Speaker 2: on stolen land. Now that got kind of interesting because
7:16
Speaker 2: you got a big cheer. The first half of the
7:19
Speaker 2: statement was basically a favorite because it was aimed at
7:24
Speaker 2: President Trump and Ice no one is illegal. But then
7:27
Speaker 2: the other issue, the second half was a throwback, very
7:33
Speaker 2: popular land declaration. We've heard this over and over again,
7:36
Speaker 2: and this is a kind of appropriate time to do this.
7:40
Speaker 2: So Washington Post, it was not bad peace on the
7:43
Speaker 2: Washington Post talking about and a lot of people think
7:46
Speaker 2: this that we are on stolen land, right, Native Americans,
7:51
Speaker 2: this is their country, this is their land. It was,
7:56
Speaker 2: that's for sure. So in the past decade we've heard
8:01
Speaker 2: this over and over again, where all the land in
8:04
Speaker 2: this country was originally indigenous titled.
8:09
Speaker 1: That's not true.
8:09
Speaker 2: By the way, the Indians Native Americans never considered land theirs.
8:15
Speaker 1: The land was the land.
8:16
Speaker 2: Now there were territories that were protected, but they didn't
8:20
Speaker 2: have the same concept of ownership and title as we do.
8:25
Speaker 2: The fun one here is in twenty twenty two, La
8:27
Speaker 2: County unanimously adopted a Land Acknowledgment Proclamation, and it said
8:33
Speaker 2: that we occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared
8:38
Speaker 2: for by the Tongva, Tatavium, Serrano Keats or keys, and
8:44
Speaker 2: the Shumash people, and that we acknowledged that settler colonization
8:50
Speaker 2: resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide,
8:57
Speaker 2: multi generational trauma. I will tell you right now the
9:02
Speaker 2: Trump administration did not write that and did not force
9:06
Speaker 2: La County to make that proclamation. So it's let's take
9:10
Speaker 2: on as much guilt as possible. Had no idea that
9:13
Speaker 2: the entire La County government was filled with Jews, nothing
9:17
Speaker 2: but guilt. Guilt, all right, So let's talk about that
9:21
Speaker 2: for a moment, because this gets kind of interesting. We
9:24
Speaker 2: who are we, presumably white people. What's missing is that
9:28
Speaker 2: we did far worse to each other. For example, we
9:32
Speaker 2: didn't steal land from Native Americans.
9:34
Speaker 1: We stole land.
9:35
Speaker 2: From the Spanish, who stole the land from Native Americans
9:40
Speaker 2: because they're the ones that colonized and then we grabbed
9:43
Speaker 2: it from them. So oh, here's the question. Okay, you
9:46
Speaker 2: have land taken from X many years ago, and in
9:51
Speaker 2: the centuries between that, that land goes from y to z,
9:56
Speaker 2: whether it's bought or whether it's taken over in battle,
9:59
Speaker 2: whether there's.
9:59
Speaker 1: A treaty or not.
10:01
Speaker 2: And then you have other people hundreds of years later,
10:04
Speaker 2: have built, torn down, built again.
10:05
Speaker 1: The Holmes Hospitals, schools.
10:08
Speaker 2: So how do you undo that where land goes to
10:13
Speaker 2: the original owners And it's like reparations, except reparations it's
10:18
Speaker 2: a little easier to deal with because all you're doing
10:20
Speaker 2: is writing a check.
10:21
Speaker 1: This one. You're talking about ownership of land. You know.
10:25
Speaker 2: The bottom line is that land is pretty unique, and
10:31
Speaker 2: it does change hands and it is taken.
10:35
Speaker 1: So here's an example.
10:37
Speaker 2: Do the Brits give the land back to the Normans
10:42
Speaker 2: who conquered the Anglos in ten sixty six at the
10:46
Speaker 2: Battle of Hastings. Do we go back that far? It's
10:51
Speaker 2: only been twelve hundred years, so the answer clearly is no.
10:57
Speaker 2: But there is this is political speak at it's worse,
11:01
Speaker 2: this is political correctness that we are evil in that
11:04
Speaker 2: what we have done, we are horrible people because we
11:09
Speaker 2: have been slave owners, which is true, not us them.
11:14
Speaker 2: And why we are apologizing for something to happen one
11:16
Speaker 2: hundred years ago. We can easily say that was wrong.
11:19
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that at all. We can
11:21
Speaker 2: easily say that is a stain upon this country. But
11:26
Speaker 2: apologizing for something that happened one hundred two hundred, three
11:31
Speaker 2: hundred years ago and taking it to a legal conclusion
11:35
Speaker 2: that one is, I mean, that's just crazy.
11:39
Speaker 1: Reparations clearly is one of the issues.
11:42
Speaker 2: How much do we pay African Americans who can directly
11:47
Speaker 2: point to their ancestry to slaves And if your.
11:52
Speaker 1: Great great great great grandfather was a slave.
11:55
Speaker 2: You then get money because you came from a slaveholding family. Well, okay,
12:02
Speaker 2: now what and when does that stop? And does it ever?
12:07
Speaker 2: And so this is simply sort of a lesson about
12:12
Speaker 2: land ownership and why even living on land, except for
12:17
Speaker 2: a few exceptions, doesn't necessarily mean you own the land.
12:22
Speaker 2: There's a legal concept here, and it has to be recognized.
12:27
Speaker 2: All disputes of any kind have to come to a
12:29
Speaker 2: legal end because life.
12:32
Speaker 1: Goes on, commerce goes on, The Grammys go on.
12:35
Speaker 2: You have statute to limitations and they have to have
12:37
Speaker 2: statute of limitations saying, even if the land was taken
12:39
Speaker 2: from you wrongly, you have X number of years to
12:42
Speaker 2: file acclaim and if you don't, it's over because then
12:45
Speaker 2: it goes on forever. So Billie Eilish, Okay, thank you
12:50
Speaker 2: for saying we live on stolen land.
12:54
Speaker 3: Was there a tribe that came out and said that
12:56
Speaker 3: her house in Malibu is on their former land or something?
12:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, a million dollar house, that's true. I think they did.
13:02
Speaker 1: Fourteen million dollar house.
13:03
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a fourteen million dollar house on stolen on
13:07
Speaker 2: stolen land.
13:08
Speaker 1: And a law firm are you talking about, Billie Eilish
13:11
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. The law firm came forward
13:13
Speaker 1: and they said that they would represent the tongue of
13:15
Speaker 1: the tribe at no charge and help evictor from her
13:19
Speaker 1: stolen land. And how about this?
13:23
Speaker 2: And there's another concept, I mean, as stupid as that sound,
13:25
Speaker 2: there's something called the bona fide buyer. She buys the
13:29
Speaker 2: land or buys the house from someone who bought the house,
13:33
Speaker 2: and bought the land from someone who bought the house. Neil,
13:37
Speaker 2: how many how many people have owned your property over
13:40
Speaker 2: the year since it was built nineteen.
13:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who the hell knows now, right? So who
13:44
Speaker 1: stole on? And by the way, what are those peaces?
13:47
Speaker 1: So you take it back?
13:47
Speaker 2: So say the original owners decide it was stolen from
13:50
Speaker 2: me or for whatever reason, who do they get it
13:53
Speaker 2: back from the people the last people that bought it
13:55
Speaker 2: and spent their life savings.
13:57
Speaker 1: Well that's what's crazy.
13:58
Speaker 3: You know, there was a house down the street, couple
14:00
Speaker 3: doors down, family owned since the beginning. It had been
14:03
Speaker 3: handed down generation since it was built, and it was
14:08
Speaker 3: foreclosed on, and so maybe you know, decades and generations
14:14
Speaker 3: from now, is someone going to come back and say,
14:15
Speaker 3: I don't think it was a rightful foreclosure.
14:17
Speaker 1: It was a family you know. It's it's all stolen land.
14:20
Speaker 1: We live all still.
14:21
Speaker 3: Traced back to the origins of who was the first
14:24
Speaker 3: one on the land as well?
14:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I had stolen my house.
14:27
Speaker 2: It cost me way too much money, All right, sure,
14:38
Speaker 2: why not say f I handle it here?
14:41
Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody?
14:42
Speaker 2: Yay, great music, you bet youem okay. Olympics opens up.
14:46
Speaker 2: About twenty minutes, opening ceremonies happened, and there is something
14:51
Speaker 2: at the Olympics that's going on, and it's penis gate
14:56
Speaker 2: now as fun as that much as much fun as
14:59
Speaker 2: that's it's a thing.
15:01
Speaker 1: Well, your penis is a thing. But I'm talking.
15:03
Speaker 2: About this whole issue is a thing, and it has
15:07
Speaker 2: to do with ski jumpers, and it has to do
15:10
Speaker 2: with ski jumping and what can make them jump further.
15:15
Speaker 2: And so the if you notice that the ski jump
15:19
Speaker 2: outfits are skin tight, they're like a second skin, and
15:25
Speaker 2: aerodynamically they you have to have the air, or the
15:28
Speaker 2: ski jumpers want air move as quickly past them as possible,
15:32
Speaker 2: except if you can somehow get a sale effect. In
15:38
Speaker 2: other words, as the air moves up. It's like those
15:42
Speaker 2: what do you call those flying squirrel suits that that
15:48
Speaker 2: the jump the jumpers where you know where they're jumping
15:50
Speaker 2: out of airplanes. Yeah, it's like a glider outfit.
15:53
Speaker 1: We have these.
15:54
Speaker 2: They look like wings almost base jumping, thank you, or
15:59
Speaker 2: just fling out of airplanes and going for miles and miles.
16:02
Speaker 1: Okay.
16:03
Speaker 2: So the point is is that that kind of that fabric,
16:07
Speaker 2: that clothing gives lyft. So it is very important for
16:11
Speaker 2: ski jumpers who can get extra lyft, to get extra lyft. Now,
16:15
Speaker 2: they're not allowed to do it because everybody has to
16:18
Speaker 2: be even Stephen in terms of clothing. So the Olympics
16:22
Speaker 2: organization International Olympic Committee has very specific rules as to
16:29
Speaker 2: form fitting clothing. Well, Penis Gate is about taking this
16:36
Speaker 2: chemical and injecting it into the penis, and the World
16:43
Speaker 2: Anti Doping Agency is going to investigate this because allegations
16:49
Speaker 2: that come forward from the German newspaper Build Bild, which
16:53
Speaker 2: is actually pretty well respected, and what Build is claiming
16:58
Speaker 2: is that athletes have been in an acid into their
17:01
Speaker 2: penises to gain the system when they're measured for their
17:05
Speaker 2: suits and.
17:07
Speaker 3: A penis and injection is a is a very very
17:11
Speaker 3: solid nobe for me.
17:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, and because the suits are very tightly regulated,
17:16
Speaker 2: so no athlete has an aerodynamic advantage. So it's a
17:20
Speaker 2: hyluronic acid used in cosmetic surgery and to enlarge penile girth,
17:29
Speaker 2: a bigger swans. So this makes the suit like, well,
17:33
Speaker 2: what happens is you yes, no, you inject the penis,
17:37
Speaker 2: you get more growth. The penis expands in size, which
17:41
Speaker 2: means that the form fitting suit is going to expand
17:45
Speaker 2: and then once the acid wears off, then the shrinkage occurs,
17:51
Speaker 2: and there.
17:51
Speaker 1: Is extra material, okay, and what is extra material? Extra
17:55
Speaker 1: material is like yeah, yeah, it's.
17:59
Speaker 2: An extra So that can actually translate into a farther jump.
18:03
Speaker 1: I've heard, and I don't know.
18:05
Speaker 3: I heard that the average is it makes them go
18:08
Speaker 3: five point five inches further.
18:11
Speaker 1: But that seems that seems small to me. No it's not.
18:15
Speaker 2: It's not well five point five inches to anybody. That's
18:18
Speaker 2: the averages, and I mean five point five inches is
18:23
Speaker 2: just the end.
18:23
Speaker 1: Of the world. Of course, that seems small to me.
18:26
Speaker 1: Of course it does. I guess in the Olympics every
18:29
Speaker 1: little bit count well when you think about it.
18:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll look at downhill skiing hundreds of a second,
18:37
Speaker 2: and if you're looking at any of the other contest
18:40
Speaker 2: I mean, it literally goes by the inch, especially in
18:43
Speaker 2: Penis Gate. It couldn't be more appropriate. I told you
18:46
Speaker 2: it's a great story. And as I said earlier in
18:48
Speaker 2: the news, this originally started with experimentation with pole vaulters
18:53
Speaker 2: and it worked out beautifully for them. The additional the
18:58
Speaker 2: acid that was put at the base of.
18:59
Speaker 1: The penis So.
19:02
Speaker 2: This is great and they're investigating it, and if it
19:06
Speaker 2: turns out that it is true, and certainly the build
19:10
Speaker 2: the magazine on the newspaper saying that it is this
19:15
Speaker 2: is going to be a scandal.
19:18
Speaker 1: Beyond a scandal.
19:20
Speaker 2: Sandro Pertilli, the men's race director for the International Ski
19:23
Speaker 2: and Snowboard Federation, says, f every extra centimeter on a
19:28
Speaker 2: suit counts. So if your suit has a five percent
19:32
Speaker 2: bigger surface area, you fly further. So let me tell
19:35
Speaker 2: you how large does your swans have to be to
19:39
Speaker 2: have the suit five percent bigger? Yeah, you're doing rope tricks, Yeah,
19:46
Speaker 2: for sure. Okay, I told you it was fun. I
19:51
Speaker 2: told you this. This is the topic.
19:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
19:55
Speaker 2: And by the way, here's another one I thought i'd
19:58
Speaker 2: share with you. And I think I've mentioned this before.
20:00
Speaker 2: Side effects of various rubs, the side effects of this.
20:03
Speaker 2: For example, they're just starting to study and there are
20:06
Speaker 2: they're discovering a side effect on viagra and they started
20:12
Speaker 2: using it for burn victims.
20:13
Speaker 1: Very few people know that, And Will is looking at me.
20:18
Speaker 2: Why is viagra vern i used for burns because it
20:22
Speaker 2: keeps the sheets off of your body, so you don't
20:27
Speaker 2: want the sheets to actually touch your body. We're done
20:31
Speaker 2: with that, Okay. Just a story about Miss Piggy and
20:36
Speaker 2: I guess the word.
20:37
Speaker 1: You know.
20:37
Speaker 2: Piggy became big news again after President Trump called a
20:41
Speaker 2: reporter Piggy.
20:42
Speaker 1: But this happened nearly fifty years ago.
20:44
Speaker 2: Miss Piggy made her first appearance on the Muppet Show
20:48
Speaker 2: and became its breakout star, and within a few years
20:52
Speaker 2: she was a Hollywood celebrity. She was a pin up model,
20:56
Speaker 2: the author of a best selling book. I don't know
20:58
Speaker 2: if you've ever seen Miss Piggy on on the Muppet Show.
21:02
Speaker 1: Just terrific.
21:03
Speaker 2: There is a movie now being developed by Jennifer Lawrence,
21:07
Speaker 2: Emma Stone. There's a new Muppet Show special on Disney
21:12
Speaker 2: coming out and who's at the center of it Piggy
21:15
Speaker 2: front and center. Eric Jacobson, who's been playing Miss Piggy
21:20
Speaker 2: for years. He said it's the role of a lifetime
21:24
Speaker 2: and he does a lot of voices. He does Bird, Grover, Oscar,
21:29
Speaker 2: the Grouch on Sesame Street, Fozzy Bear.
21:31
Speaker 1: But he said, with Miss Piggy, it's a whole.
21:35
Speaker 2: It's another magnitude, as she would tell you herself. And
21:40
Speaker 2: the A list actors and actresses line up to be
21:43
Speaker 2: karate chopped by Miss Piggy. So here is the story
21:49
Speaker 2: A pig and opera gloves would have been a decent
21:52
Speaker 2: gag in and of itself, but during rehearsal it became
21:57
Speaker 2: pretty clear this was an extraordinary character. So in rehearsal
22:01
Speaker 2: the script specified that she delivered a slap. Now the
22:05
Speaker 2: puppeteer Frank Oz instead had Piggy execute a karate chop
22:12
Speaker 2: by a and preceded by a full torso wind up
22:16
Speaker 2: and accompanied by Hay.
22:19
Speaker 1: And that sent.
22:20
Speaker 2: Kermit flying across the room. Miss Piggy was born. Oh
22:25
Speaker 2: here's a little factoid. She was named originally Miss Piggy
22:28
Speaker 2: Lee in honor of Peggy Lee, until an attorney said,
22:33
Speaker 2: maybe you don't want to do that. That's not such
22:35
Speaker 2: a good idea, so the Lee part was left out.
22:38
Speaker 2: Miss Piggy, if you've ever seen her, she's a puppet,
22:42
Speaker 2: but just hilarious, deeply insecure, yet convinced of her own
22:47
Speaker 2: star quality. And according to Jerry Jewel, the head writer
22:51
Speaker 2: for the Muppet Show, writing for Miss Piggy has not
22:54
Speaker 2: been easy.
22:56
Speaker 1: You have to walk a fine line with the character.
22:58
Speaker 2: If she isn't a bit, she isn't funny, but you
23:00
Speaker 2: got to feel the other side too, And in reality,
23:04
Speaker 2: if you look at everything that happened, Miss Piggy's dreams
23:07
Speaker 2: of becoming a superstar actually became a reality. To give
23:11
Speaker 2: you an idea, nineteen eighty, the Year of the Piggy
23:15
Speaker 2: was announced by TV Guide, cover Stories all Over, Life Magazine,
23:21
Speaker 2: A Sweet Sow or So for All Seasons, People Magazine,
23:25
Speaker 2: The Acme of Porkitude, Piggy Calendars, Motorcycle Babe, Film Noir,
23:33
Speaker 2: fem Fatale, and then nineteen eighty one best seller Miss
23:37
Speaker 2: Piggy's Guide to Life. And considering that Piggy is going
23:44
Speaker 2: to go away, certainly the Piggy statement from President Trump,
23:47
Speaker 2: it's going to be It's among many many statements. Miss
23:50
Speaker 2: Piggy doesn't disappear, not at all. She earns for all
23:55
Speaker 2: things like we do. And Piggy also has kind of
23:59
Speaker 2: a a drag allure. RuPaul of course, is a huge
24:03
Speaker 2: fan because well, it's Piggy. She's this fantastic mashup of
24:08
Speaker 2: masculine and feminine, and I think that's what counts for
24:13
Speaker 2: so many people of all stripes who love her.
24:16
Speaker 1: That's rue.
24:17
Speaker 2: Paul as actually, Oz the Puppeteer once described her as
24:23
Speaker 2: a truck driver wanting to be a woman. That's great.
24:28
Speaker 2: I love Miss Piggy. Everybody loves Miss Piggy. And it's cultish.
24:33
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about a cult following. As I said,
24:36
Speaker 2: they don't have to worry on The Muppet Show.
24:38
Speaker 1: They don't have to worry.
24:39
Speaker 2: About a list actors and personalities. They're being called by
24:44
Speaker 2: actors and personalities to appear on Sesame Street and certainly
24:48
Speaker 2: all of the Kermit, the Frog.
24:51
Speaker 1: All of them up. It's movies.
24:53
Speaker 2: So just a great story about Miss Piggy and what's
24:57
