0:34

everyone , and welcome back to

0:36

A Better Life with George and Steve

0:38

. Tonight you just have me . George

0:41

is still in Japan . He's been there for a few

0:44

weeks , so we've put

0:46

our podcast to the side . I know it's been

0:48

a long time . I've heard from a lot of you . When's

0:51

the next podcast ? That's why you have me alone

0:53

. I hope everyone is well . I

0:55

hope everyone's had a good few weeks

0:58

. It's finally made the

1:00

transition to spring . I'm

1:02

glad it's here . I'm looking

1:04

forward to doing a little traveling

1:06

. Over Memorial Day weekend

1:08

. I'm going to go visit my sister

1:10

up in Bar Harbor , maine , and

1:12

I love it up there . I'd like to move there

1:15

, but unfortunately I live here . So

1:18

there's a few things I'd like to talk

1:20

to you about tonight . The first

1:22

thing I'd like to mention to you is

1:24

about the newly found

1:26

heart , if you will , of

1:29

our New York teams . All

1:31

of a sudden and maybe

1:34

it isn't really all of a sudden . I'm just beginning

1:37

to notice that the New York Knicks

1:39

and the New York Rangers have

1:41

developed . New York Rangers have developed this ability

1:44

to fight and to win

1:46

, and it's not as much winning

1:48

as they have heart . They

1:50

leave everything on the ice of the court . They

1:54

fight to the end . Of course , tonight being Mother's Day , happy

1:56

Mother's Day , belated Mother's Day to

1:58

most people by the time you hear this to

2:00

everyone out there . But the Knicks got their

2:02

butts kicked tonight and pretty much

2:04

the first time . It was a close game

2:06

. They lost two . They're now two and two , but

2:09

they're not very deep . That's the problem with the

2:11

Knicks they're not very deep . They don't have a

2:13

lot of players coming in off the bench

2:15

. I think the other night , when they were looking

2:18

, even when they won , the Knicks had

2:20

three or four points off the bench and

2:23

the Pacers had 42 . So

2:25

the Knicks have been really fighting . They beat the 76ers

2:28

, they gave them a real run for their

2:30

money and they beat them handedly

2:33

. Every game was close

2:35

. Every game was amazing . New

2:37

stars have come out of the woodwork

2:40

. Surprising new stars , at

2:42

least surprising to me Jalen

2:45

Brunson . He has played

2:47

better than almost anyone

2:49

you can imagine in history for

2:52

these last few games in the playoffs

2:54

. We've seen Dante

2:56

DiVincenzo , we've

2:58

seen OG Josh

3:00

Hart , all these players

3:02

. Now they have three players from the National Championship

3:05

, villanova Wildcats

3:07

. So these players

3:10

are familiar with winning , they

3:12

have it in their DNA , so to speak

3:14

. So it's been amazing to watch

3:16

and it's great to see this

3:18

resurgence come to the Garden

3:21

. This Knick team , all

3:23

the old players have all been

3:25

rolled out , from Patrick Ewing to

3:28

John Starks to

3:30

Carmelo Anthony . You see them all

3:32

there , frazier , sitting on the sideline , the

3:35

great players from the past . They're all there and

3:37

they're rooting their team on . It's a great

3:39

thing to see . Obviously

3:42

, in my opinion , we're probably one great

3:44

player away , even though this team

3:46

could win if their bench was

3:48

a little deeper , but I don't think they're going to make

3:50

the cut with their bench the

3:52

way it is . We have injured players

3:54

. It's difficult , I

3:56

think it's difficult to continue

3:59

to play at that high level

4:01

and wear yourself out . The other team

4:03

we need to talk about is the New York

4:05

Rangers . I've always been a great

4:07

Ranger fan . I used to have season tickets when

4:09

I was young and it really

4:12

is something to watch , watching

4:14

the Rangers fight every play

4:16

, every puck , fighting

4:18

through killing off penalties . It's

4:21

been amazing Overtime

4:23

games they won . Recently

4:26

they won two overtime games

4:28

in a row . In the past three games they've

4:31

won two out of three . They were a little

4:33

soft the other night when the Hurricanes beat them

4:35

, but they did a great job

4:37

. The other two overtime games , one

4:39

double overtime game the

4:42

players have been amazing . Whether

4:45

it's everybody

4:47

, rempe , panarin

4:51

, they've all just played amazing

4:54

and they really have something

4:57

other than talent and that's heart

4:59

. And I have to say that's

5:01

something I like to see in all teams , in

5:04

all New York teams . You can't

5:06

always have the best players , but

5:08

you can always give the best effort and

5:11

it's nice to see these professional

5:13

players in today's time where

5:16

players don't always

5:18

give it their all . We

5:21

hear these stories , we read these

5:23

stories in the newspaper

5:25

, we hear them on the radio , how players

5:28

say they're injured and

5:30

no one really believes it , or

5:32

they walk off the court or they

5:34

don't want to play every night . This

5:36

new thing about resting a player throughout

5:40

the season that's

5:44

fairly new . I don't think

5:46

it would have happened in Dave Stern's

5:48

era of being the commissioner of basketball

5:51

, but certainly this new commissioner

5:53

seems to be a little softer

5:55

with the players , on the other

5:57

hand . They're different players today

5:59

. They look at things differently

6:01

. They really just don't want to

6:04

compete all the time . They

6:07

look at the regular season in a different light

6:09

than they used to . So that's an issue . But

6:13

when we see these playoffs , we're seeing

6:15

teams fighting like we

6:17

haven't in years , in my opinion , across

6:21

the board . And then

6:23

there's LeBron James in

6:25

Los Angeles . Lebron has been a

6:27

great player for

6:29

20 years . Is

6:31

that possible ? It is possible because

6:34

we've all seen it . People ask

6:36

him if he's going to retire , if

6:39

he's ready to give it up . I don't believe

6:43

so . I think he's going to keep fighting

6:45

. I think he wants to take a shot at playing with his son

6:47

, who's in the draft this year . Whether

6:49

that happens or doesn't happen , I'm not

6:51

sure , but

6:57

it is an opportunity for LeBron to play with his son and to keep

6:59

coming to the game . He's been criticized this

7:02

year , but I have to

7:04

say he's certainly better

7:06

than almost all

7:09

the other players out there . There are other

7:11

good players , don't get me wrong , but

7:13

he is at his age , still

7:16

playing at a a high

7:18

level , and

7:20

I give him credit for that . You

7:23

know the argument right ? The

7:25

argument is he the best ever to live

7:27

. Is he better than jordan ? That

7:30

this argument's raised in every bar

7:32

cigar lounge , on

7:34

every water cooler excuse

7:37

, the metaphor at

7:39

every work on

7:42

every talk radio station . Is he

7:44

the best that ever was ? He played the longest

7:46

. He's playing long . I have

7:48

a hard time with saying he's the best . I

7:53

know Jordan is the best I ever saw

7:55

, but

7:57

I can't forget players like Bill Russell

7:59

, who has a ring for every

8:01

finger , who played in

8:03

great teams and played a long

8:05

time . You can't forget

8:07

players like Larry

8:11

Bird , like Magic Johnson

8:13

, like

8:15

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar . There

8:18

are so many great players , but

8:20

the eras are different , so you look at things

8:22

differently . It's hard

8:24

to compare players from different eras . It's

8:28

truly hard to compare . But

8:31

LeBron is certainly in that conversation

8:33

. It's

8:37

hard to deny that People

8:41

do because they're LeBron haters and I don't have

8:43

to say he's not one of my favorite players , but

8:46

when you watch him he's certainly

8:48

something to watch . Over the years , the

8:50

players of the past we remember the highlights

8:53

. You remember the best . I

8:55

remember the Larry Bird game where

8:57

he could do no wrong

8:59

. I remember Larry Bird in the three-point

9:01

competitions that used to

9:03

, when everyone used to be involved in

9:07

the three-point competitions that took

9:09

place during the All-Star game and

9:11

he would go out there and hit every basket

9:13

long before the

9:16

popularity of three-point

9:18

shots took place

9:20

. If you look back at

9:22

some of the scoring , the game was different

9:24

, even when some of the great

9:27

games by Larry Bird

9:29

, by Magic Johnson , by

9:31

Michael Jordan you look at how many

9:33

three-point shots they actually took , you look at how

9:35

many three-point shots they actually took and it's a totally different

9:38

game . It

9:46

is very hard to compare the points , the assists and the scoring because the game has changed in such

9:48

a way . But anyway , that's enough about sports . I just

9:50

wanted to bring it up because it seems to dominate

9:52

everything going on at the moment in New

9:54

York . Everybody's talking about it , everything

9:58

going on at the moment in New York . Everybody's talking about it and it's easy to see why if you

10:00

just watch one of the games . So Mother's Day today is

10:02

Mother's Day . I of course remember my

10:04

mother , who was

10:07

certainly , as everyone looks

10:09

it was a pillar in my life . She

10:12

said and did amazing

10:14

things . She fought for

10:17

life , for our life , for

10:20

our educations . She

10:22

fought for trying

10:25

to stretch a penny longer than any

10:27

other person I've ever seen stretch a penny

10:29

. She did it with a

10:31

small budget and

10:34

probably at least one and

10:36

maybe two children that didn't really understand

10:39

how tight the budget really is , and

10:41

my sister and I talk about it sometimes

10:44

and wonder how

10:46

she did it . My father was

10:48

there , obviously , but he was out there

10:50

working . She was the day-to-day

10:52

person . She

10:56

was the one that dealt with all the difficulties

10:58

and was always there to answer the questions

11:00

. And

11:03

I wasn't easy , to be honest

11:05

, I was certainly not easy , but

11:07

this is a day . I remember my

11:10

mother and we remember all

11:12

mothers . We all don't have

11:14

wives , we all don't have girlfriends

11:16

, but we all have mothers . So

11:19

happy mother's day to everyone out there . It may

11:21

be belated when you finally hear this . I'd like

11:23

to talk briefly about the met gala

11:25

, which takes place , as some

11:27

of you may know , the first monday in

11:29

may . I don't know how

11:32

anyone gets invited to the met gala

11:34

. I don't know why anyone goes to the

11:36

Met Gala Other . It's the

11:38

center of the fashion

11:40

universe , pretty much ran

11:42

by Vogue . It helps

11:44

raise money for the

11:47

exhibition that goes on there

11:49

regarding fashion . I

11:52

remember many years ago , when

11:54

I was a shoe

11:56

salesman or a buyer or a manager

11:59

of different , various shoe

12:02

stores and companies , there

12:04

was a gentleman who always used to call me and

12:06

he was one of the

12:09

directors of the Museum

12:11

of Fashion , which I think now has

12:13

been incorporated into the Met and

12:15

he would come in and

12:17

look at our entire line of shoes and

12:20

ask questions and then pick

12:22

certain shoes that he would buy

12:25

to put into the collection . It

12:27

was interesting because

12:30

I was always amazed

12:33

on what he collected and what he wanted

12:35

. Originally I thought he was buying them for himself

12:37

, but then I realized they couldn't fit him . The Met

12:39

Gala it's funny . There's a theme

12:42

and people wear dresses

12:44

that you cannot wear anywhere else . They're

12:46

made into the theme and it's almost

12:48

like a costume ball . It's

12:51

pretty amazing . Some

12:53

of the things are so strange

12:55

that you really can't even walk

12:57

up the steps . People have to be carried . Now , I

12:59

don't know how that makes any sense

13:01

, but it's certainly interesting to watch . I

13:04

saw so many

13:06

dresses that were absolutely

13:09

amazing and

13:11

beautiful and

13:13

so many that just made me scratch my

13:15

head , and I have an appreciation for fashion

13:17

, being in the fashion business

13:20

for a long time before I'm

13:22

in my present career , whatever that may be at

13:24

this time . But I always find it interesting

13:27

who goes to these things

13:29

. You always see the hot person

13:31

of the moment , the person that's I

13:33

don't want to say getting their 15 minutes

13:36

, but are new to

13:38

the pinnacle of notoriety

13:41

. They are now famous

13:44

. I remember the first Cardassian

13:46

experience there , and now

13:48

they're staples . Everybody waits to see

13:50

the Cardassian sisters' dresses

13:53

and they range all different kinds of things . And now the gentlemen

13:55

have got into the act sisters' dresses , and they range all different kinds of things . And now the gentlemen have got into the act

13:57

with it too . They are all wearing all

13:59

kinds of different things . It's

14:01

funny , it's amazing , it's

14:04

nice to look at . If you've ever seen

14:06

the documentary the first Monday in

14:08

May , it's entirely

14:10

about the Met Gala , and if you're interested , it's definitely

14:12

something to look into . And I think Vogue

14:15

is doing a good job with realizing

14:17

the changing

14:19

movement in America , and

14:22

that is it's no

14:24

longer networks , it's

14:26

no longer television networks that

14:29

control the information

14:31

or setting the pace for

14:33

the Americana of

14:35

our existence at the present time . It's

14:39

now these trendsetters , these

14:41

people that have podcasts not

14:44

mine , of course these people

14:46

like Joe Rogan , people

14:49

that are super popular that

14:51

have podcasts , that have

14:54

different trendsetters . Matter of fact

14:56

, vogue used what's

14:59

her name ? Chamberlain . I can't think of

15:01

her name off the top of my head , emma Chamberlain

15:03

, to be like

15:06

the host and

15:09

interview people . Now

15:11

, I love Emma Chamberlain . She

15:13

is a huge sensation

15:15

on YouTube and other places . She

15:18

has a podcast and

15:20

she is the most regular person

15:22

you could possibly imagine . She

15:24

travels all over the world , she goes around

15:26

, she talks about them . She

15:29

does pretty much only

15:31

better , obviously , than

15:33

what George and I do . We

15:35

experience things and we talk about it , but

15:37

she's at a level like you can't

15:39

even imagine In a couple of hours

15:42

. She has over a million downloads

15:44

on her YouTube

15:46

. They're really just amazing

15:48

and she's known everywhere and

15:50

she seems like such a regular

15:53

person and now those people

15:55

generate millions of

15:57

dollars when they do these things . She's

15:59

become a fashion icon . She's

16:01

a beautiful young girl , no question

16:03

about it , but she

16:06

has this following

16:08

. That's amazing . I think she

16:10

does the Gucci ads I don't know if it's Gucci or

16:13

Louis Vuitton and now she's the

16:15

host for Vogue on

16:17

the first Monday in May for the Met

16:19

Gala . It's really

16:21

amazing to see how these

16:23

things are all changing

16:26

, how the power of

16:28

controlling the dialogue

16:31

of our lives has shifted

16:33

from television

16:36

stations or radio stations

16:38

who controlled who

16:40

they put on and what they said

16:42

to individuals like Chamberlain

16:45

, individuals like Joe Rogan

16:47

, all different sides

16:49

of the gambit . People

16:51

have their own interview shows

16:54

and stars . Go

16:56

look at the Hot Wings show . That

16:58

could be some of the best interviews you

17:00

ever watched . And for those of you that

17:02

aren't familiar , I think the

17:05

group is called the First we Feast

17:07

and they do Hot

17:10

Ones and this guy's done it

17:12

for 15 , 20 years already

17:14

, where he

17:16

has 10 wings

17:18

that progress from

17:21

hot to ridiculously

17:23

super hot and during

17:25

that time period he asks

17:28

questions and

17:30

he's very well informed . And

17:33

there is an episode that goes

17:35

by where the guest doesn't

17:37

say boy , you really did your research

17:39

and he really has . And

17:42

he asks great questions and

17:44

, due to the heat of

17:46

the wings , everybody's off

17:48

guard . They're not guarded

17:51

. Sometimes they're cursing him

17:53

because their mouth is on fire

17:55

and they're drinking water and milk

17:57

and sometimes ice cream . Once

18:00

in a blue moon they walk off and say

18:03

listen , I'm not doing this anymore , I'm out of here . But

18:06

rarely , very rarely , we've

18:08

seen everyone from Dua Lipa

18:10

to Lupa to

18:12

Chef Ramsay to

18:16

Mike Tyson

18:18

all different people and

18:21

you're amazed on . Some

18:23

people can eat hot food and some

18:25

people you cannot , and

18:28

everyone promoting something goes

18:30

on it . Why ? Because he has millions

18:32

of watchers and millions

18:34

of people get to see you

18:37

and what you're promoting . It's

18:40

really a changing environment

18:42

. What's come important to us . Even

18:44

me , the first thing I turn on isn't

18:46

the news . I don't watch the news anymore . It's too

18:48

orchestrated . It

18:50

doesn't matter if you're from the left or you're right . There's

18:53

no independent journalism really

18:55

anymore . There may be some on some

18:57

of the public broadcast , but

18:59

I can't watch somebody go on

19:01

and on there's stations out

19:03

there that just spend their entire day

19:06

bashing the other

19:08

representative of

19:10

the party they don't agree with . They

19:15

spend their whole day doing that . When the United

19:17

States Supreme Court allowed the

19:20

Pentagon Papers to be released

19:22

to the newspapers after a challenge by

19:24

the Nixon White House and by

19:26

the Solicitor General , who

19:28

at that time was William Rundquist

19:31

, who later became the

19:33

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court A

19:36

little side note is he went to law school with Centreda

19:38

O'Connor and they both ended up on the court

19:40

and it's pretty interesting . But anyway

19:42

, the quote and forgive me if I beat

19:45

it up , but the quote is

19:47

we must let

19:49

true information

19:51

, we must let information

19:53

flow to the people of America . Why

19:56

? Because it's only an

19:58

informed electorate who

20:00

can vote and make decisions

20:02

on how the country is

20:04

supposed to be run . How are

20:06

we supposed to do that when we're not informed

20:09

? How are we supposed

20:11

to do that when we're not being told the facts

20:13

to make our own decision , rather

20:16

a jaded view

20:19

of whatever your affiliation

20:22

is . It's

20:25

bizarre to me what has happened . It's impossible

20:28

to watch the news . And

20:30

I'm not saying I have an affiliation for one party

20:32

over the other . My

20:36

affiliation is with the truth . And granted , there is spin

20:38

. People spin what happened . At

20:41

the end of the day , there needs to be some truth

20:44

. As many a day I

20:46

go out into the world and I see something

20:48

and

20:52

I wonder is what this person's telling me about different people who

20:54

are in power in this country True

20:56

, or are they making it up ? Are

21:01

they slantening it ? How are you supposed to know ? I don't know . I

21:04

just sure hope they're not doing it on purpose . And

21:06

that feeds back to the problem with social media

21:08

. Social media isn't

21:10

always truthful . So there's that truth People

21:13

. That's because they don't watch the news anymore , they

21:20

watch social media . I do it too . I watch YouTube . I watch YouTube . I watch people on YouTube and

21:22

I hear about my hobbies or my interests , whether it's cooking , whether

21:24

it's movies , whether it's antiques

21:26

. I'm interested and

21:28

I'd like to learn the truth about so many things

21:31

and for some reason

21:33

we're

21:35

at a point in America certainly

21:38

a turning point where truth

21:40

has become difficult to find

21:42

. I'm always reminded

21:45

by George Orwell's 1984

21:47

about the ministry of truth and how they go back

21:49

in the book and they

21:51

change the past and they eliminate what they don't want to be true and they delete

21:53

it . And and they eliminate what they don't want to be true and

21:55

they delete it . And that's okay that they delete

21:58

it for us , because we remember

22:00

it , we're firsthand viewers

22:02

of what happened . When they delete

22:05

things that are current , but future generations

22:07

won't know the truth because it's been

22:09

parceled and propped up

22:11

and bastardized

22:14

in a way that no longer

22:16

reflects what actually happened . It is at

22:19

best unfortunate

22:22

, but anyway

22:24

it is important . And the

22:26

reason I bring it up is because it's the changing

22:29

way that we are getting our information . We

22:32

now look to these people on the internet

22:34

that we actually have some belief

22:36

in . Years ago , when they

22:38

would take polls on who's the most admired

22:40

man in America , you would get

22:42

names from newsmen Walter

22:45

Cronkite . It was a long period of time

22:47

. Walter Cronkite was the most popular

22:49

man in America , the person that

22:51

people believed in . When

22:54

something happened in the world , you

22:58

looked to Walter Cronkite

23:00

to tell you whether it was moon missions

23:02

, whether it was explosions , whether it was

23:04

war and , back then , whether

23:06

it was assassinations . You

23:10

looked to him because we believed

23:12

in him . Who do we

23:14

believe in today ? Who

23:17

is that person that we rely on out

23:20

there giving us truth

23:23

? I'd love to know what you think . Please

23:26

let us know who

23:28

you think is telling you the truth , if

23:32

anyone . But

23:34

anyway , let me get off that . On

23:37

a lighter note , I did a review

23:39

of a restaurant that I've been to

23:41

a few times in Mimarinik and

23:43

I've mentioned it to you before . Nona Corolla

23:45

is an Italian restaurant

23:48

and bar in Mimarinik

23:50

. It's 211 Mimarinik Avenue

23:52

, mimarinik , and it's been open for a little while

23:54

and over time it's just gotten progressively

23:57

better . It has two

23:59

outsides to the seat , one in

24:01

the front , one in the back . They

24:03

have beautiful tables , they're professional

24:05

waiters . I have a few favorites . They have

24:08

a great menu and

24:10

I would say my

24:13

first favorite is they have a seafood

24:15

appetizer which is a

24:18

half a lobster , some crab meat

24:20

and beautiful giant

24:22

shrimp , and it is

24:24

so good , it's so large

24:26

that sometimes I have it as a main course

24:28

and then maybe just have a

24:30

pasta for an appetizer . Or

24:32

the other day I had their burrata , which was amazing

24:35

, too Nice burrata appetizer

24:38

, which had a whole

24:40

burrata on it with

24:43

red peppers , tomatoes

24:45

, and the plate was lined with

24:48

prosciutto and together they were just

24:50

a nice combination of a nice burrata

24:52

. What I've been , and not the last

24:54

time , but the time before I was there they had

24:56

been kind enough to give us a sampler of some

24:58

of their pastas . They have it and this

25:00

is what we had this time . The person I was

25:02

with ordered it and I

25:04

was lucky . It was so large of an order

25:07

that I had a couple and

25:09

I had the burrata ravioli Homemade

25:11

ravioli made with stuff

25:14

with burrata in a light cream sauce

25:16

Just fantastic

25:18

. They have ravioli

25:21

with wild mushrooms , cherry tomatoes

25:23

in a brandy cognac sauce

25:26

as a pasta and it just is

25:28

so fresh

25:30

, so well made and the sauce

25:33

complements so well

25:35

. As far as other things , if you

25:37

like chicken parm , their chicken parm is amazing

25:39

, but let's not talk about that . I don't

25:41

eat veal but I know people swear by

25:43

their veals . I've had

25:45

chicken scarparello , which is very

25:47

good . It's all

25:50

white chicken breast , no bone , but

25:53

we won't hold that against them . It's still

25:55

very good . I really

25:57

like the New York strip . It comes

25:59

with roasted tomatoes and sauteed

26:01

mushrooms and they just load

26:03

the mushrooms over the steak and

26:06

it's cooked perfectly and just

26:08

has a great taste . If I have

26:10

a business dinner , if I'm going out with someone

26:12

special and I want to have

26:14

classic Italian food that

26:16

I know is consistently great

26:19

food , consistently good

26:22

, that the waiter's serviced , that

26:24

you don't forget about you , that they always

26:26

make sure your drink is full , that

26:28

they have great hot cappuccino

26:30

with some dessert like

26:33

biscotti . Have a cappuccino

26:35

with a biscotti after a nice meal is

26:38

a wonderful thing . So I suggest

26:40

that you all go out there and try

26:42

Nona Corolla . It is so

26:44

good You're going to be happy you did . They're

26:47

open all the time . It's

26:49

a big place , it's always have

26:51

room , they're caring , they

26:54

remember you , they try hard . I

26:56

tell you Nona Corolla . I'll

26:59

give you the address one more time . It's

27:01

211 Mimarinick Ave in

27:03

Mimarinick , right on the main street in town

27:06

, on the corner of East Prospect

27:08

, and if it's a guy's night out , please

27:11

go down the street and go into Josh's

27:14

Doc James Cigar Lounge

27:17

and go have a cigar after your meal . You'll

27:19

be happy you did . I think that's it . I

27:22

think I've done enough . I hope

27:24

you all had a great Mother's Day . I

27:26

hope you're going to have a good week . I hope you're thinking

27:28

about where you want to go on vacation . Vacations

27:31

have gotten so ridiculous

27:34

. It costs just as much to

27:36

go to Florida as to go to Europe . It's

27:38

ridiculous . Thank God I have

27:40

family that live in Maine that I get to visit them that

27:42

way . But I look forward to a nice

27:44

summer . It seems like the weather's going to be great

27:46

. I know that

27:49

after some of the major storms in Maine

27:51

, some of the coastlines got beat up

27:53

. First time in history they

27:55

got hit by such strong storms . I

27:57

hope George is back for our next episode . I

28:00

appreciate everybody listening . I

28:02

hope you all had a good Mother's Day . Enjoy

28:05

the rest of your week . I will be back

28:07

to you all so soon .
