GARAGE LOGIC – EPISODE SUMMARY
Episode: "6/1 Don't call mom mom, call her a lactating individual"

Overview

In this lively Garage Logic episode, Joe Soucheray and the cast dive into a range of topics illustrating the show’s signature blend of irreverence, common sense, and deep-rooted skepticism of institutional change. From commemorating earnest young men honoring veterans, reading a heartfelt critique from a parent about autism discussions, to lampooning political conventions and exploring the culture wars at the University of Minnesota, the conversation is both wide-ranging and full of memorable asides. The titular theme emerges in the latter part, where the hosts dissect the growing trend in academia of neutralizing gendered language—commenting on reports of replacing “mother” with “lactating individual.” The episode also features tangents on garage finds, wildlife encounters, and plenty of Minnesota-local color.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Community Notes & Local Heroes

• Recognition of Young Veterans:
  • Joe reads an email about four North St. Paul High School students who marched to honor veterans on Memorial Day.
  • “No sponsor or organization supporting them, just four friends honoring our servicemen and women… hats off to those four young guys.” (Joe Soucheray, 04:16)
  • Minor confusion about the exact location (“Duluth Junction”) leads to a bit of classic Minnesota geography banter.

---

2. Addressing Listener Feedback: Autism Discussion

• Heartfelt Critique:
  • An emotional letter from Steve (Tonka Bay) is read, criticizing the show’s prior offhand treatment of autism.
  • Steve highlights the complexity of autism and the importance of informed discussion, especially as a parent.
  • “Your willingness to flippantly discuss the topic... is lazy at best and irresponsible and dangerous at worst. This is a legitimate topic and one worth discussing... spend time learning about this very complex disorder.” (Steve, email at 05:00)
  • The hosts recognize the validity of his criticism and clarify their ire is directed at fraudsters abusing autism funding, not those needing services.
    • “We’re not diminishing the fact that there are kids that need this. What we’re diminishing is the fact that we’re getting robbed blind by the very people robbing those funds.” (Chris Reavers, 07:15)
  • Mutual agreement to research and treat future discussions with more care.

---

3. Minnesota Political Endorsements & Conventions

• Republican Conventions:

  • Discussion about the Republican State Convention's endorsement process, vote snafus, and the complexities (12:00–15:00).
    • Comparison of candidates Kendall Qualls and Lisa Damuth:
      • “I think Kendall is a very applied, serious guy. I think he knows the odds he faces, just like Lisa would know the odds she faces.” (Joe Soucheray, 13:24)
  • Disappointment in the excessive focus on national issues (“Trumpism”) rather than local failures—urging GOP to focus on DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party) misgovernance for independent voters:
    • “Trump has nothing to do with Minnesota. If I’m a Republican candidate who wants to be governor, I leave Trump completely out of it.” (Joe, 15:52)

• Democratic Convention Results (45:30):

  • Amy Klobuchar endorsed for governor; Peggy Flanagan for US Senate; Keith Ellison for Attorney General.

• Notable Voting Incident:

  • Electronic vote counting mishaps, leading to jokes about “pillow guy” (Mike Lindell) lawsuits.
  • Michelle Tafoya’s run and her moderate stance on abortion highlighted as a reason she wasn’t endorsed (44:25).

---

4. University of Minnesota "Lactating Individual" Debate

• Bias Reports & Language Policing (26:24):
  • Examination of reports from UMN on issues such as changing “mother” to “lactating individual” in academic grant language.
    • “A graduate student reported someone for complaining about having to change grant proposal language from mother to lactating individual. You can’t call that a mother.” (Joe Soucheray, 26:33)
  • Hosts ridicule the excess of bias reporting; joke about the fate of those raised in such environments in the “real world.”
    • “If you’re filing a complaint about ‘lactating individual’ as opposed to ‘mother’, yes, your life’s going to be really weird.” (Joe, 30:35)
    • Kenny: “Are we now non-lactating individuals?” (28:10)
    • Matthew: “I could give it a go at any time.” (28:40)
  • Criticism of anonymous complaints and the culture of reporting rather than open discussion:
    • “This is a mentality that runs counter to the purpose of a university. You’re supposed to be encouraging free speech instead of reporting it.” (Joe, 33:04)

---

5. News & Notable Minnesota Stories

• Violent Incidents & Community Safety:
  • Shooting at Canterbury Park Expo prayer service (47:00), turf wars, increase in carjackings and car thefts (48:09), tree falling accident at Mears Park (49:10).
  • Discussion about the dangers (or not) of trees falling, a running joke about what dangers co-hosts do or don’t worry about.

---

6. Classic GL Tangents

• Barn Find Story (68:39):

  • Listener John’s story about discovering a pristine, classic 1966 Ford Thunderbird after 42 years in a packed garage recalls the joy of old school garages and automotive nostalgia.
  • Valuation estimates and humorous anxiety over who might claim the treasures:
    • “I’d tell you where it is but I just can’t yet.” (Joe, 75:01)

• Lost Touch with Nature (76:24):

  • Viral story of a woman approaching a bison in Yellowstone ignites stories of Midwesterners underestimating wildlife.
    • “She has the survival skills of a French fry.” (Joe, 76:45)

---

Memorable Quotes

• “Trump has nothing to do with Minnesota. He didn’t cause the fraud... Let them [the Democrats] run against Trump, hide their own complicity in the destruction of this state by running against Trump. Let them. That will not impress independents.” (Joe Soucheray, 16:55)
• “I think the real world... continues to be more heavily populated by these failed academy people. And they’re bringing that to the workplace.” (Joe, 31:06)
• “It’s just so obscene that I can’t read it. Much of it involves free speech, which is of course being taken away by these bias reports.” (Joe, 29:55)
• “If you don’t like it you can beat [it].” (Kenny Olson, 31:35)
• “It’s just a shame… turning these kids in the failed academy into stooges.” (Joe, 32:34)

Tone & Style

The hosts employ a mixture of wry humor, straight talk, and Minnesota-flavored sarcasm. They pivot fluidly from local news to personal stories and political analysis, all the while retaining a “garage logic” (common sense, middle-American) perspective. The audience—Garage Logic’s “GLers”—are often addressed directly, reinforcing a sense of community and shared frustration with modern absurdities.

---

Conclusion

This episode exemplifies Garage Logic’s longstanding appeal: a bastion for common sense amid cultural shifts, with equal parts skepticism, nostalgia, and humor. The debate over gendered academic language (“lactating individual”) is used as a snapshot for broader anxieties about tradition versus progressivism. The episode’s strength lies in its mix of listener feedback, real community stories, political analysis, and classic GL tangents, all wrapped in the show’s trademark bantering style.

[Chris Reavers]

Hail the Flashlight King.

[Joe Soucheray]

And now from the Mayor's office above the boathouse on the east shore of Spoon Lake, it's Garage Logic with Chris Reavers manning Technology corner, Kenny Olson from the crabby coffee shop, John Hight in the newsroom, and of course the ro. Here is your Flashlight King fireworks commissioner and the keeper of common sense, your mayor, Joe Sushore. I got many emails from G Lers who enjoyed the book Theo of Golden that we talked about the other day and among them was Christy Stranik who wrote Theo of Golden was the best book I have ever read. Total thumbs up. Well, I can't say that, but there's no accounting for people's favorite books. I thought it was wonderful and a Memorial Day ray of hope that just came in. Well, it came in Friday from Tony who said when biking on the Gateway Trail on Memorial day, I met four young men marching from North St. Paul Veterans Memorial to Duluth Junction and returning. Does that mean the city of Duluth or is there some junction on that Gateway Trail that turns around at Duluth street in Minneapolis? Out Golden Valley where there's Duluth Street.

[Matthew Mikulski]

I've never been on it.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know. Marching from North St. Paul Veterans Memorial to Duluth Junction and returning. I bet it was local.

[John Hight]

Duluth Junction. Joe, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

[Joe Soucheray]

Go on, you. You tell me.

[John Hight]

It's located in Washington county in the Stillwater area.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, really?

[John Hight]

It's a neighborhood.

[Joe Soucheray]

I never heard of it. I'll be damned. They were marching from North St. Paul Veterans Memorial to Duluth Junction and returning. No sponsor or organization supporting them, just four friends honoring our servicemen and women on Memorial Day. I didn't think young people did this kind of thing anymore. I believe they are North St. Paul High School students. Their names are Zong Tao, Ryan Cordes, James Lensing and Miguel Revering. And he gave me a photo of them. And hats off to those four young guys.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Huh?

[Joe Soucheray]

Huh?

[Matthew Mikulski]

That's awesome.

[Chris Reavers]

What's wrong with your microphone?

[Kenny Olson]

Is his mic not working?

[Joe Soucheray]

Mine?

[Kenny Olson]

No.

[Chris Reavers]

Matthew?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, it's not here. It sounds like it's not. It's not. Okay, hang on. You know what? Just leave it like that.

[John Hight]

I'd go home if I were you. Matt.

[Kenny Olson]

Matt, just go home. You logged in, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I logged in.

[Joe Soucheray]

So I'm good. Let's get this out of the way because I take it seriously and I want you guys to. Joe. As a longtime student at the University of Garage Logic and someone who's attended classes religiously for the past 30 plus years, I write to you today for the first time with mixed emotions. A little anger, some disappointment and a touch of sadness. As someone I've come to respect for your logical common sense approach to topics grounded in deep thought and supported by detailed research. Your show yesterday, which would have been Thursday 5:28, just this past Thursday, demonstrated a lack of both. As the father of two adult sons, both with an autism diagnosis, it was hard to listen to you, Ken and Chris, opine about topics you clearly know little about and demonstrate a lack of understanding regarding autism and what people with it deal with on a daily basis basis. Make no mistake, nothing angers be more than the fraud perpetrated in this state on the backs of my boys and people like him. I greatly appreciate your advocacy in rooting out the bad actors and ensuring hard earned tax dollars are used in legitimate and meaningful ways, but your willingness to flippantly discuss the topic using comments like turning him loose, go outside and letting them run around the bases, equating it to the over diagnosis of baseball injuries and insinuating that much of is made up is lazy at best and irresponsible and dangerous at worst. This is a legitimate topic and one worth discussing. But before taking it up again, you need to understand it as a spectrum disorder. It impacts each individual uniquely and can look very different from one person to the next. That makes it hard to understand for people who are not directly impacted by it. Heck, it's hard even for me after supporting people with it for more than 20 years. Please do your research, talk to people who live with it and spend time learning about this very complex disorder. And while it's not possible for you to walk a mile in their shoes, perhaps you can find ways to walk alongside them and their families and offer a helping hand instead of minimizing the prevalence in our society today. Steve Tonka, Bay well, I'm sorry, but

[Chris Reavers]

can I add something?

[Joe Soucheray]

You may, but his letter is very sincere, heartfelt and it struck home because he's a parent.

[Chris Reavers]

The very reason we're angry at the absolute thievery of the autism program dollars is for the very reason he's emailing. We're not diminishing the fact that there are kids that need this. What we're diminishing is the fact that we're getting robbed blind by the very people robbing those funds. I have someone very close to me that relies on the housing subsidy that it basically has been shut down, and I mad at that.

[Joe Soucheray]

It hasn't basically been shut down, it's been shut down.

[Chris Reavers]

The people that came to this country, Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, that have been robbing this state for billions of dollars, that's who we're angry at.

[Joe Soucheray]

He knows that I know, but we're

[Chris Reavers]

not diminishing the fact that I think

[Kenny Olson]

he acknowledged that we're not doing that. I think what I took away from that is we need to educate ourselves on exactly what autism is before we talk in depth.

[Joe Soucheray]

On I would ask him to cut us some he owes us nothing. Sure, he owes us nothing, but I would ask him to take into consideration that I think if I'd have to replay it, but I think most of the comments occurred after we discovered an 11,000% increase in autism demands for money.

[Chris Reavers]

No, 11,000 was in North Carolina. Here it was 56,000% increase.

[Joe Soucheray]

And Steve perfectly, he knows perfectly well that that's absurd and that that was what we were talking about. But it hit home because he's sure. Yeah. I can't disagree with any of this.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I can't disagree with him. He's right.

[Joe Soucheray]

Say, and congratulations to us. Oh, the people of Minnesota got the JFK Courage Award Profile and Courage Award presented at Twin Cities residents for the ice surge response. And I think it was a surge that required a response.

[Kenny Olson]

Wasn't he assassinated?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. What's that got to do with anything?

[Chris Reavers]

By the CIA?

[Joe Soucheray]

I want to see who the four Twin Cities residents were who accepted the award on our behalf. Maybe it doesn't even say. I won't even bother to look. But Caroline Kennedy was in town and Jack Schlossberg. Schlossberg.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

But I think the Twin Cities. If you're going to give that award away, I think you could get a

[Kenny Olson]

check for that or I don't know.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know if money. Money.

[Kenny Olson]

Just get a hug.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know if money.

[Kenny Olson]

A pat on the head. I don't have a cookie.

[John Hight]

Do you want the four people, Joe?

[Joe Soucheray]

I have them.

[John Hight]

Natalie Ayrat, who's the founder of Haven Watch. I don't know what Haven.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't either.

[John Hight]

Carolina Ortiz, associate executive director of Copal.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know what that is either.

[John Hight]

I don't either. Zenna Stenvic, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools. And Imam Yousef Abdul, co founder of the Somali American leadership table. Those four.

[Joe Soucheray]

The only one I understand would be the representative from the Columbia Heights Public Schools because that's where the little kid with the rabbit hat was taken out of school and shipped out to Texas.

[John Hight]

She was involved in the whole situation, if you remember quoted many times in that story.

[Joe Soucheray]

Boys, we have to face our reputation. Did we curse Lisa Damuth. The first thing I thought about, the woman didn't even win the endorsement. We had her on Thursday. No, we had her on last Tuesday. Tuesday. And I'm. I love Kendall Quals. I'm going to be rooting for Kendall.

[Chris Reavers]

We'll never hear from him again.

[Joe Soucheray]

But Kendall will probably say to his people, if the Garage Logic people call,

[Chris Reavers]

tell them we're busy, block their number,

[Joe Soucheray]

not let them get me on their show.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you remember what she said? If she did not get the endorsement,

[Joe Soucheray]

she would ab by it now. But she's already having second thoughts about that.

[Kenny Olson]

And don't you think she has good

[Joe Soucheray]

reason to because of some controversy regarding electronic voting.

[Kenny Olson]

Correct?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. About which I know zero.

[Kenny Olson]

I guess it was a real cluster.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know what to say. I.

[Chris Reavers]

May I ask a really dumb question? What is the process Then, I mean, we all head up to Duluth.

[Joe Soucheray]

Serious activists go to the endorsing conventions. It's true of both parties. Serious activists, you'll recall, endorsed Scott Jensen when they could have just as easily endorsed Kendall. Quals and Scott Jensen lost. Serious activists have now endorsed Kendall calls. I don't know what that portends, but I do know that apparently elections are now so impossibly complex, they're usually bollocks up and they're no longer cut and dried, they're no longer black and white. They're no longer simple. Somebody hiccups in the back row and there's an objection because that noise disturbed me and I think my electronic volt was changed. And I. I don't know how the electronic voting works. I don't know what little devices they held in their hands. I. And you know what? Life's too short for me to wonder about it. I don't give a bleep.

[Chris Reavers]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes, you do.

[Josh Arnold]

We're.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, let's get down to the real nitty gritty here. Okay, I talk to you face to face. Manto man here. Number one, who has a better chance of beating Amy? Number two, who can sit down on day one and do that job better, Kendall or Lisa?

[Joe Soucheray]

Let's answer the first question first. I don't have any idea who's better to beat Amy, Lisa or Kendall on that question. I give you a toss up. I think Kendall is a very applied, serious guy. I think he knows the task he faces. I think he knows the odds he faces, just like Lisa would know the odds she faces. And I think he would have as good a chance as Lisa to beat Amy Klobuchar, in my opinion, and I

[Kenny Olson]

know you and I have talked about this at length in the past. It's going to once again be about those independent voters who could go either way.

[Joe Soucheray]

Right.

[Kenny Olson]

And that'll make the difference.

[Joe Soucheray]

All right, the second part of your question. Just by virtue of having been in the mix and working in the state House, it might be thought that she would have a better idea of what to do on day one just because she didn't get anything. I was too light on her on this aspect of our interview with her. But at some point, the Republicans have. Well, I guess they don't. You know, I want to say that the Republicans have to have some responsibility for the fraud, too. They're in the building. They're helping run things.

[Chris Reavers]

You did ask her about that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Are they not loud enough, soon enough? I don't know. But no one who works for the Walz administration who fomented this fraud is a Republican.

[Chris Reavers]

But you did ask her that.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't remember if I did.

[Chris Reavers]

The conversation came up and she basically said. I remember her answer. She said we didn't have enough support to get different types of legislation passed.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

And that's the problem. It's not the fault of those who had been raising their voice. The problem is they're either shouted down or they're outvoted or a combination of both.

[Kenny Olson]

One more question, Joe.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Thanks, Adam.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, my.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Working. It's working.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, you're. You're back on the air.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, hey, you guys are back on.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you think those Republican activists you made mention of hurt the party and hurt the chances of Republican governor?

[Joe Soucheray]

I have a little speech prepared about that. Seems to me that the only chance, and I've said this from day one, the only chance Republicans have is to drive home how significantly this state has been turned upside down under DFL rule. And they've got to stick to Minnesota because the convention was attended by the activists. There was far too much Trumpism for my taste, and not enough. Minnesota is destroyed. I'm here to fix it. Trump has nothing to do with Minnesota. He didn't cause the fraud. He didn't. I leave Trump completely out of it. If I'm a Republican candidate who wants to be governor of Minnesota. I don't see you winning the independents. If you're throwing around some Trump praise, I just don't see you winning the independents.

[Chris Reavers]

But won't it inevitably come up from the mouths of the Democrats? Because that's exactly what will happen.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let them, the Democrats, they're all running against Trump hide their own complicity in the destruction of this state by running against Trump. Let them. Let them. That will not impress independents. It will not impress the people who want to get this state back onto a financial footing. So if I'm Kendall or I'm Lisa, Trump's never going to cross my lips. I'm never saying his name. I want nothing to do with him. And in that convention, there was quite a bit of Trump stuff.

[Chris Reavers]

But the Klobuchar campaign will focus heavily.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's her problem. I'm telling you what the Republicans should do.

[Chris Reavers]

I get that, but I guess what I'm trying to say is the reason they're doing it is because they know it will resonate with the moderate voter.

[Kenny Olson]

If you're inside the Kendall war room, how are you going? What kind of campaign are you going to run now?

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm going to come out on the public and say, do you realize how much of your tax money has been wasted by this DFL governance for the last 8 years?

[Kenny Olson]

You attack Amy on a personal level, you're just going to go with her record? What are you going to do?

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm going to say this woman has coasted along in the Senate for 20 years and has never really made any waves about anything and has never really led any charge at all to undo her own party's responsibility for fraud. Where does she stand on this? Amy, you owe this. You. You owe us all an explanation. And with the. In your. Your failure to provide it is an indictment of your belief that the DFL leadership is still the way this state should go, and it's not. If you want to restore this state to any sanity, we've got to have a new look at the way we operate. I would.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, I would go full throttle against Amy on everything she's not done.

[Joe Soucheray]

But there's no. There's no need to be personal. I mean, there's. You know, he's everybody's favorite aunt, and she's bringing the apple pie to the picnic. That's great, but we're gonna run out of money to even have a picnic here if we keep this up. So I don't do. I don't do anything. I just point out Amy's invisibility.

[Kenny Olson]

What about the stuff from years ago where we found out she's not exactly nice to the help?

[Joe Soucheray]

I. I'm. I.

[Chris Reavers]

The Caesar salad deal that she ate

[Joe Soucheray]

salad with a comb.

[Kenny Olson]

I.

[Joe Soucheray]

Who hasn't, you know?

[Chris Reavers]

You know a guy that ate Thousand island dressing?

[Joe Soucheray]

The whole bowl. He thought it was soup. So I. I don't.

[Kenny Olson]

I. I also eat potpourri.

[Joe Soucheray]

I did. No, that was me.

[Matthew Mikulski]

At his aunt's house.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, in my house.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Oh, is it at your house?

[Joe Soucheray]

Were they good? Was crunchy?

[Kenny Olson]

You'd be beatable if somebody ran against you.

[John Hight]

You'd be very beatable when you run

[Chris Reavers]

for reelection in Gumption County. Are you also running against Trump?

[Joe Soucheray]

No, I'm not.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh, you're not?

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm running for the sake of the state of Minnesota. Oh, hey, you guys are back on the air.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Thanks, Bron.

[Kenny Olson]

Thank you.

[Joe Soucheray]

Thank you. Man, I was looking at my garage floor again. I really would like to have a nice chat with Installed Building Solutions. I just don't know what it would take to redo my floor. I have the original epoxy garage floor, and it's neat. They're wonderful. But mine is worn out and installed building solutions. They're using the new technology, the latest stuff, polyurea. I don't know what that is, but I trust them that it's the best because it's not like the old school. It doesn't peel up, it doesn't harbor tire marks, it doesn't fade. And best of all, if you live in Minnesota, which we do, these floors have a grit in them. They have a non skid device and that's crucial. I've gone down too many times to count on that stuff, but it's just gorgeous. And it's the only way to keep your cylinders is you can hose these babies out, you can clean up spilled oil. You know the drill. These are the floors to have. And with that slip resistant texture that's that would be a real blessing during wet Minnesota winters. It's ibscoating.com these guys install only the latest technology in the best garage floors around. IBS coating. That's one word. C O A T I N G I b s coating.com hail the flashlight king Whoopsie.

Joe Su to quote the legendary broadcaster Matthew Mikulski, tis the season.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Oh, you know it is the season. I'm not even sure what the season is yet, but tell me, because I know it is.

[Kenny Olson]

Rain, heat, humidity and bugs turn that frown upside down. Get some Bugs Be Gone to ease the pain of cleaning the windshield, the grill, the bumper of whatever you're driving, or maybe you're on a motorbike you absolutely need Bugs Be Gone there. It's safe to use. Well, let's start with you. It's safe to use on your helmet, your visor, leathers, moving on, the windscreen, the headlight, fender, chrome paint. It won't stain plastic parts and it's safe for the environment. It's not safe for dead bugs, though. Bugs Be Gone works on actually any organic material like bird icky, tree SAP, grass stains. Gl ers have actually used it on their water scooters, boats, golf carts, side by side. One fella, and I didn't, I didn't press him on what the deal was, but he actually said he used it on a stain on his clothes. I thought I'd just leave that one

[Joe Soucheray]

lying Can I tell you something? Yeah, you go ahead, Mr. Mayor. Drove back from Chicago, cars covered in bugs. Sprayed the front end with the stuff.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, Bugs be gone.

[Joe Soucheray]

And then went to the touchless car wash. Bing, bang, boom.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, that's a great. Yeah, that's a great tip right there is. You're waiting in line, blast the windshield. And it's. Oh, it's amazing. The acquisition of Bugs Be Gone, though, that's something to consider if you can find it at Fleet Farm, big box stores, knack hardware stores. But here's the deal. When you see it, buy multiple spray bottles. Or if they carry that refill concentrate jug, buy that too. You're going to need it. There's two things in life you're always going to need till the very end. Toilet paper and bugs be gone. Make sure you're well stocked on both of them. And you know what? Share it with friends and family. That's the GL way. A wonderful product in a world of dead insect. Bugs be gone.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let's turn to our own University of Minnesota, where, according to the College Fix, they kind of follow the failed academy.

[Kenny Olson]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

Someone complained that either a graduate student or a professor used biologically correct language when referring to women. According to a bias report obtained by the College Fix, they called someone a mother. Among the more than 100 Bias Response and Referral Network reports filed between July 2024 and March of 2026 were three that addressed the same controversy. A graduate student reported someone for complaining about having to change grant proposal language from mother to lactating individual. You can't call that a mother. Point of privilege.

[Kenny Olson]

Point of priv.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Please.

[Joe Soucheray]

The Fix obtained a spreadsheet of bias reports via public health records request. This one is one of 15% that involve gender identity, sexual orientation, or gender expression. Of 117 bias reports, roughly 50% came from students at either undergraduate or graduate level, while 29% of complaints came from staff, faculty or professionals. Nearly 20% of the bias reports came from sources with an unknown relationship to the school. About one in four complaints involve online communications or graffiti. And someone also stole their rainbow Safe Space doormat.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Hmm.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Which is highly sought after, by the way.

[Kenny Olson]

I wonder if that made its way to somebody's fish house or something.

[Joe Soucheray]

In fact, it wasn't even stolen. I should have completed this sentence. Oh, the rainbow Safe Space doormat had been flipped over or kicked aside.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, that's worse.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Even worse. That's more insulting.

[Joe Soucheray]

Was probably done by a lactating individual.

[Matthew Mikulski]

That's worse than taking your shoe off and hitting the statue with it to show you.

[Kenny Olson]

So are. Would we be considered non lactating individuals?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes.

[Matthew Mikulski]

I could give it a go at any time.

[Joe Soucheray]

You let me know.

[Chris Reavers]

I've got nipples.

[Matthew Mikulski]

I've got nipples.

[Joe Soucheray]

Another report based on gender identity and religion was an August 2025 incident where a student reported a street evangelist for saying, remember only male and female and trying to convert the reporter to Christianity outside the university's Kauffman Memorial Union. Another report. That's the rainbow safe space format. That was a big one. Meanwhile, 20 reports were classified as bias against national origin and 40 reports were classified as bias against race. I'm just trying to find that. Well, they're all outrageous, but one incident involved a student reporting observing a Panda Express employee mistreating an international student because of limited English proficiency. There's one here where a non university community member expressed concern about a faculty member's research. I don't know. This is just. It's just so obscene that I can't read it. Much of it involves free speech, which of course is being taken away by these bias reports. So there you have it. You can't.

[Kenny Olson]

The people that complain here, Joe, both the students and the faculty. Do you have a prediction for how the rest of their life is going to turn out in the real world once they leave the failed academy?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, but I got a theory about that too. Is that me?

[Matthew Mikulski]

I just called you. I'm sorry. I was trying to get your attention.

[Joe Soucheray]

My phone was on loud. Your peripheral vision is horrible. The expectation is if you're filing a complaint about lactating individual as opposed to mother, yes, your life's going to be really weird. But I think the real world that we used to call the real world is suffering because the real world continues to be more heavily populated by these failed academy people. And they're bringing that to the workplace.

[Kenny Olson]

That's what I was hoping you were going to say. Because I was wondering how. How would that go over in the private sector? You're working for a privately held company and you pull that bullshit in the office. What's the. What's going to. Are we going to go down to hr? Is this going to be a whole deal? Or is the boss going to laugh at you and tell you if you don't like it, you can beat.

[Joe Soucheray]

Depends on the size of the corporation. Major corporations probably already have people in place to address this, I would imagine. But you're, you know, you're Burt. You're running a welding shop with 15 people. You're still Going to get away with anything, but not.

[Chris Reavers]

What do you mean by get away with anything?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, I mean, you can say mother and no one's going to confront you.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, think of all.

[Joe Soucheray]

You can say father and no one's going to confront you.

[Kenny Olson]

Think of all the emails we've seen through the years at our well congratulating moms and dads on the birth of their.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Oh, you're right.

[Kenny Olson]

With a son and or daughter. And they always say, here's the proud

[Joe Soucheray]

mother and a lot of these. You know, the files were classified as race based bias, but they did not offer any information about what happened or who they believed their concern was about. Well, that's just attempting to limit free speech.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah. Okay, you heard this, but you can't tell me who and when and what it was about. Okay. Okay. Maybe you need to go sit down a few minutes.

[Joe Soucheray]

It's just a shame. It's, it's, it's turning these kids in the failed academy into stooges. They. They're, they're reporting this. Well, I was grateful to learn that there aren't that many reports, but they're, they're ridiculous. They're absolutely ridiculous. They run counter to the purpose of the university.

[Kenny Olson]

My attitude is the world is going to eat them up. You go out in the world with that kind of nonsense, the world is just going to devour you.

[Joe Soucheray]

Who am I quoting here? It's a piece that was in Alpha News, but it's from the College Fix. But there's a fellow saying that universities shouldn't allow anonymous reporting. They shouldn't be collecting data and reports that can't be investigated. This is a mentality that runs counter to the purpose of a university. You're supposed to be encouraging free speech instead of reporting it.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Right.

[Joe Soucheray]

This is outrageous. Completely outrageous. But it's why we have who's elected. It's why we have the failed academy. We've had it too good for too long. That might be the overarching problem in this country. We've had it so good for so long that we're going the other way.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, you were referring to Steve McGuire and he said while students must have ways to report harassment and discrimination, several of the reported incidents in the list appear to concern issues about which there's no. Or, excuse me, where there is legitimate disagree disagreement.

[Joe Soucheray]

Who's he? He's affiliated with the U of M. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

And he says allowing bias reporting encourages an illiberal mentality.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, good for him.

[Kenny Olson]

That runs counter to the purpose of a university.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. Of course it does. It's. It's absolutely.

[Kenny Olson]

He said ridiculous universities should encourage people to talk to each other instead of reporting on one another.

[Joe Soucheray]

He called me a mad word Mom.

[Kenny Olson]

That kind of nonsense.

[Joe Soucheray]

I should have read this when we were talking about the curse, but the mink has written in. And he said, what bugs me about the Angie Craig, Peggy Flanagan conundrum is that some of us are left with no choice. Personally, I'll vote for neither. But we know we are going to get a Democrat. It's just a matter of how far left on the spectrum they are. This seems to happen in other races with more frequency. We can have what passes for a moderate traditional Democrat. That's how I imagine I'm going to add my own words here. That's how I imagine Amy will position herself, you know, which would be far left of any standard of old DFLers or a lunatic lefty with little or nothing to offer. It's almost as if it's set up that way. You know, maybe we can't get a goof like Flanagan elected, but let's nominate the fringe candidate anyway and encourage the moderately sane candidate as well, just in case we still end up with somebody considerably further left than we want. And are so relieved it's not the nut job. It's acceptable. We're just frogs in the slow boil. And then he says, I know Reynolds is calling. They want their tinfoil hat back. And speaking of Angie Craig, he thinks Angie and the Queer Currency is a good name for a band and I can't.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Angie and the Queer Currency.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's not a bad. It'd be a good name for a lesbian blues band. And he said you can be Angie, meaning you.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh. What?

[Joe Soucheray]

In another development, one lactation joking him. In another development, the mink writes. He. He announces that the great sharpening. Remember the giant pencil sculpture over on Lake of the Isles?

[Kenny Olson]

I drove by it a couple weeks ago.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, the sharpening is set for this Saturday.

[Kenny Olson]

Wow.

[Joe Soucheray]

So he said, I don't intend to go, but if GL requests a report, I would be happy to attend to provide a mink's eye view of the proceedings. You know what, Mink, we're going to let you off hook. We don't really care if they sharpen it again. We covered that once and people stand around and I guess that's quite exciting. And they. They sharpen the pencil. But we, you know, how many times can you really get worked up about it?

[Kenny Olson]

A good reason to go over there is to see the well manicured Pro turf lawns. Those people care. I don't have an ad here, but those people, that neighborhood, that was a perfect, you know, that neighborhood. They care and they take pride in their lawns and it' really nice to see.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, I'm, I'm happy.

[Kenny Olson]

As opposed to you people over in St. Paul.

[Matthew Mikulski]

What do you mean you people?

[Joe Soucheray]

I've told you guys.

[Kenny Olson]

By the way, Joe, I drove by there a couple weeks ago with the roommate and I tried to explain to her she saw this pencil, I tried to explain to her the whole concept and she goes, aren't you glad we don't live here anymore? How is that? And my argument is, how is that any worse than the big ball of twine?

[Joe Soucheray]

It's not.

[Kenny Olson]

No, it's not.

[Joe Soucheray]

Is the pencil yellow? Yeah, the guy painted.

[Kenny Olson]

It's a number two, Joe.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, it's got Faber on it, number two and the whole deal.

[Chris Reavers]

Kenny makes a good point though. Yesterday we were driving, right? And by this massive, massive yard out in the middle of the country, right? This guy is going up and down in his riding mower. And my 14 year old goes, boy, that's a lot of work, buddy. That's the happiest guy on the freaking planet right now.

[Kenny Olson]

Plus, he's been married 60 years and she's in there right now.

[Joe Soucheray]

Did he always look over his shoulder at his path?

[Chris Reavers]

No. He couldn't have gone slower in that thing. He's just enjoying the day.

[Joe Soucheray]

If you drive down the Wisconsin side of the river from here to La Crosse, you go through many, many quaint little towns. And in every town there's a guy on his deer. Oh, mowing the lawn. And he's looking over his shoulder to check the path. Yeah, town on it. Not a real deer on a John Deere. I'm not riding an animal.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Rudolph.

[Kenny Olson]

I find myself making corrections. I'll look down the road.

[Joe Soucheray]

Absolutely.

[Kenny Olson]

What the hell was I doing on that trip?

[Joe Soucheray]

You were daydreaming.

[Kenny Olson]

I'll start over. You pick a point way out there and just laser focused on that point.

[John Hight]

Thank you, Joe.

[Joe Soucheray]

Over there somewhere. Hi, Kenny.

[John Hight]

I see you. This news is brought to you by North American Banking company as we told you about, it was endorsement weekend in Minnesota.

[Joe Soucheray]

Endorsement.

[John Hight]

Endorsement.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay, Endorsement.

[Matthew Mikulski]

We will ask the question.

[John Hight]

Minnesota Republican Party State Convention in Duluth endorsed five candidates this weekend. Just after. After 9 o' clock Saturday in the evening. Kendall Quals secured the endorsement for governor over Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Damith. But the process to get there wasn't without some issues. Voting on the first ballot for governor began around 12:45pm but saw a delay on the sixth ballot when some of the electronic vote clickers were left open longer than usual. Number of voters dropped by several hundred between the fourth and fifth ballots. Delegates were trying to decide whether to continue voting with the electronic system or vote on no endorsement. The two remaining candidates for governor at that point, Qualls and Damith spoke to delegates, with Qualls accusing The, quote, corrupt St. Paul swamp of trying to create issues and delays because of electronic voting issues, and Damith responding by saying, alert, election integrity matters. The voting continued, and on the 10th ballot calls secured at least 60% of the votes for endorsement to close out the convention. Biggest prize on the first day of the Republican State convention went to former Navy Seal and U.S. marine Adam Schwarz, who won the party endorsement for U.S. senate. That endorsement battle lasted several hours, but Schwarz topped every ballot until he exceeded the 60% needed to put him over the top. Former NFL sideline reporter and podcaster Michelle Tafoya was second on every ballot and Roy White in third until he was finally eliminated after the fourth ballot. Ron Schultz was endorsed by the Republicans for Attorney General by unanimous consent, the only Republican running in that race. And Nate George was endorsed for State Auditor over Elliot Engen and Scott Jensen for Secretary of State. Tad Jude was endorsed Friday night over Wendy Phillips and David Meisner.

[Matthew Mikulski]

So our biggest Republican candidate for Senate is a guy that, that I've never really heard of.

[Kenny Olson]

Matthew, Nobody has.

[Joe Soucheray]

Did. Did t. Does Tafoya intend to abide by the endorsement? Do we know that?

[John Hight]

What I saw this weekend was yes,

[Matthew Mikulski]

but this is all before the shenanigans.

[Kenny Olson]

The roommate tells me that it's Tafoya's stance on abortion that killed her chances with the hardliners, the hardcore Republicans.

[Chris Reavers]

And she outraised everybody, including Flanagan.

[Joe Soucheray]

What is Tafoya's stance on abortion?

[Kenny Olson]

She doesn't care. Oh, well, that's my way of putting.

[John Hight]

That's a direct quote. Yeah, that's not a direct way to put.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm not defending her either. Yeah, let's. Let's be clear.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's Kenny.

[Chris Reavers]

John, I'm curious with the with the voting snafu that took place over the weekend, is pillow guy gonna sue this one too, or is he gonna just kind of let it go?

[John Hight]

Good question. Although now he has not. He's not dropped out. So he'll be, he'll be, he'll be part of the private Republican primary.

[Joe Soucheray]

Ruin Minnesota. You just keep dragging Trump into it.

[Chris Reavers]

Meanwhile, sorry, John, speaking of voting, Joe, still have not received a response for Ilhan Omar's town hall from last week. Yeah, I never got a response, so just letting you know I was going to catch you up to date on that.

[John Hight]

Meanwhile, no big surprises at the state Democratic Convention, which took place in Rochester. The party endorsing Amy Klobuchar in the run for governor, Keith Ellison for Attorney General. Peggy FLANAGAN for the U.S. senate, Zach Filipovich for state auditor.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Go Zach.

[John Hight]

A confrontation precipitated a deadly shooting outside in ID El had a prayer service at the Canterbury Park Expo last week. According to the new charging documents, Prosecutors have charged 28 year old Muhamma Rage with second degree murder and unlawful gun possession for the shooting that killed Khalid Ibrahim Abdi. Abdi was a field rep for AFSCME Council 5, which described him as a tenacious organizing spirit with a warm, inviting presence. According to a criminal complaint, Abdi's wife and other witnesses told investigators that Rage approached Abdi as the victim and his wife were leaving the Expo center and said he wanted to fight. His wife says Abdi responded, please leave me alone. I don't wish to fight. Once they got outside, other witnesses said Abdi punched Rage, who was filming and following the couple as bystanders jumped in to break up the fight. Rage allegedly pulled out a gun and fired one or two shots at Abdi and ran away. Abdi taken to a hospital but died of a gunshot wound to the chest. It's unclear why Rage was filming Abdi and trying to fight him, but surveillance video noted that Rage had acted animatedly and gestured toward the victim as soon as he got into the Expo lobby. Charging documents add a woman Rage initially approached the Expo center with restrained him after the initial verbal confrontation, but he got past her and ran after Abdi outside.

[Joe Soucheray]

What was Rage's name, John?

[John Hight]

It was. Let me go back here. His name was Muhammad.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay, so he was a Muhammad, all right.

[John Hight]

Yeah, they were both. It was a Muslim prayer service, right? Is where the shooting happened.

[Joe Soucheray]

Thank God it wasn't some white guy from Wadena.

[John Hight]

Rage turned himself into police the day after the shooting.

[Chris Reavers]

Well, what's happening? Well, because it was reported there was another incident in. I think it was Minneapolis. But this is kind of a turf war situation. Correct, John, with rival Muslim gangs, rival mosque hanger.

[Matthew Mikulski]

What are they? Yeah. What are they dealing or.

[John Hight]

Well, it's the same thing.

[Chris Reavers]

Speaking of Omar that, you know, you went against, you know, he violated his tribe.

[Kenny Olson]

It's just tribal thing.

[Chris Reavers]

It's kind of that same line of thinking. Yeah, exactly.

[Joe Soucheray]

We don't know that, do we?

[Chris Reavers]

But not in this, not in the Canterbury one but. But in the other one that took place in Minneapolis. That was the case. It's a lot of fun. Great state we got here.

[John Hight]

Brooklyn Park Police are looking for a suspect in an attempted carjacking that happened just before midnight last night. Investigators say the victim was attacked from behind and pistol whipped, but the man was able to get away with his car keys, victim said. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated for lacerations to his face and the back of his head, according to police. The attempted carjacking comes as Minneapolis police have seen a near 28% spike in car thefts this year. In Richfield, police shot and killed a suspected car prowler a few weeks earlier after body camera footage showed him pointing a gun at officers during a foot chase. Police are still looking for suspects in both incidents. A woman recovering after being hit by a falling tree in St. Paul's Mears Park. It happened Friday night about 6:40 during a Lowertown block party. It was a 30 foot tree. The tree fell and trapped the woman underneath. She was conscious and breathing, taken to regions hospital authorities say over the weekend. The woman listed as stable people who saw the tree fall say it was sudden, Susan Larson said. I heard multiple screams of tree, tree. I turned around and the tree was still falling behind me. The woman was very, very lucky, she said. Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office said a 29 year old man died after drowning at the Little Emily Lake park swimming area Saturday. The man was at the park with family and friends when emergency responders were dispatched to the scene for rescue efforts, but the man was pronounced dead. His identity has not been released at this time. Earlier this month, a 19 year old college student drowned on lake on Little Emily Lake after his paddleboat capsized. Officials are warning swimmers about lake temps despite our recent heat. Fire Chief Blair Molesky with Emily Fire and Rescue said lake temperatures have been very cold now just recently starting to warm up and that cold weather can play apart making it more difficult for somebody, even good swimmers to run. They will run out of energy and breathe faster. Ahead of the county Sheriff's water patrol says that even with air temps around 80, water temps in Lake Minnetonka can be as low as 60 degrees.

[Kenny Olson]

A question for you guys. Jumping back a story. How often do you think about trees falling and killing you?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, Kenny, not too often. I just don't think about it.

[Kenny Olson]

I never think about that.

[Matthew Mikulski]

I do think about branches. During a storm branches are gonna.

[Joe Soucheray]

Not the whole standing outside under. In a storm, under a tree I have seeking shelter.

[John Hight]

How about you, Kenny?

[Kenny Olson]

All the time when I'm in the woods, I'm constantly looking up, waiting for one to come down and clobber me.

[Joe Soucheray]

The only thing I'd think about if I was in the woods would be ticks. I wouldn't be worried about a tree.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Well, if a tick falls on you, it's not going to be as bad as a tree.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, it could be.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Could be depending if you're treated or not.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's right.

[John Hight]

Why don't we take a quick break here? Thank you, Chris. Take a quick break and hear from the mayor.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm experiencing a spring of graduations and I had to go to an out of town one over the weekend. I took a couple of cigars for my bova to humidor. They obviously survived the trip, stayed fresh. Here's the best deal about this Boveda humidor. You don't have to do anything. It holds 50 cigars. You put the pack in there. The Boveda humidor. What do you call the packs? Humidifiers. I don't know what they are, but they work. And you don't touch it. You don't fill it with water. You don't have to check a gauge. You don't have to get distilled water. You don't have to fool around with sponges and have magic beads.

[Matthew Mikulski]

You don't have to maintain it is what you're saying.

[Joe Soucheray]

It's beautiful. It's wood, it's made in the. It's put together in the United States. This thing is fantastic. You swap the pack, the Boveda pack right out after six months and you go at it again. And so you're not. You touch it once during a year at the six month mark.

[Matthew Mikulski]

That's maintenance free in my opinion.

[Joe Soucheray]

Hi.

[John Hight]

I just wanted to tell all those people too cheap to pay for the town council it's missed a fascinating tree conversation. And that was a conversation that interrupted one about ties that was going to lead to When's the last time you got a tie for a gift? So if you're not willing to pay that money, that's what you're missing.

[Chris Reavers]

A sign up for the town council.

[Kenny Olson]

Two things I think about the most are falling trees and the Roman Empire. I just don't know how they did it back then.

[Joe Soucheray]

You like chariot races? Kenny I love them. Joe.

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

And now a man who has never had a relationship with a tree.

Yeah.

In other news, the United States said this morning it has bombed radar and drone sites in Iran after Tehran shot down an American drone over the weekend. Iran then said it targeted American soldiers in Kuwait with missiles which the US Says it shot down. The nominal cease fire between Iran and the US has been repeatedly tested with those sort of back and forth attacks even as officials from both countries try to negotiate an end of the war. It's not clear how close they are to a deal. And meanwhile we found out this morning it's Iranian negotiators say they will stop exchanging messages with the US through intermediaries and Tehran will move to fully close the Strait of Hormuz in a retaliation for ongoing ceasefire violations that according to Iran's state affiliated news outlet Tasnim. The report in a translated post on the social media site Telegram homed in on Israel's military ops in Lebanon against the Iran backed militia Hezbollah. No dialogue will take fully place until Israel withdraw it said from occupied areas in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering troops to move farther into Lebanon in the battle against Hezbollah. The fighting in Lebanon has been the broadest spillover of the Iran war, displacing more than 1.2 million Lebanese through Israeli strikes and evacuation orders since March 2, when Hezbollah began firing rockets and drones into Israel to support its allies Iran. A war between Israel and Hezbollah could have implications in the US War with Iran. Iran has said any peace deal with the US Will have to end the war in Lebanon. The bodies of all nine missing workers at that Washington State paper facility where a chemical tank exploded last week have been recovered and identified, bringing the death toll to 11, according to authorities. The explosion at the Nippon Dynowave Packaging Company in Longview, Washington happened the morning of May 26th when a tank containing white liquor used to make paper ruptured, releasing hundreds of thousands of gallons of chemicals. Authorities initially said one person was killed, nine injured, including with chemical burns. One of the injured people later died and nine employees were unaccounted for at first with the finding of their bodies. The Death toll at 11 more than 1100 people suspected of having contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda that according to the head of the Africa Union's health agency, Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Jean Kaseya said there were 263 confirmed cases in both countries as of Saturday, with 43 confirmed deaths, more than 1100 suspected cases still being investigated, he wrote. The virus, which can cause a deadly fever accompanied by hemorrhaging, has been detected in three Congolese provinces as well as Uganda. No vaccine or approved treatment is available against the Bunde Bugyo strain of the virus, and efforts to contain its spread mainly rely on preventive measures. Some people, a handful, have been treated and already released from hospitals, according to authorities, after the virus was caught early. World Health Organization has triggered an international health alert, but the true scale of the outbreak not yet known. International health authorities think the current figures are likely an under estimation.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, you don't want to get that.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Tis not the season. No.

[Kenny Olson]

What was the strain of that virus?

[John Hight]

Let's see.

[Kenny Olson]

Come on, tell them. No. You just made that up, didn't you?

[John Hight]

Bundy Boogyo B U N D I B U G Y O.

[Chris Reavers]

You know, I believe that's the first time in the history of Garage Logic that you have emulated Matthew.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, it was pretty weak.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah, he beat me.

[Chris Reavers]

You don't want to get that.

[Joe Soucheray]

You don't want to get that. But if I don't think it's being sold as a national panic, it's.

[Chris Reavers]

Well, yeah, because it's not a presidential election year.

[John Hight]

I guess not.

[Chris Reavers]

US Military won't bite Damn it.

[John Hight]

No, I'm not. I've given up biting. CRISP.

[Matthew Mikulski]

All right.

[John Hight]

U.S. military said it carried out another strike Saturday on a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three men in the fourth attack this week, putting the total death toll at 205. US Southern Command announced the strike with its usual language that the vessel was engaged in narco trafficking operations and operated by a designated terrorist organization. It provided no further evidence. It's the latest in a months long campaign against alleged drug boats traversing the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific. Video released by the military and media shows a small vessel floating in the ocean before it's hit and engulfed in a fireball. Federal judge ordered the removal of President Trump's name from the Kennedy center for the Performing Arts on Friday, ruling the Trump administration's rebranding of the institution is illegal. U.S. district Court Judge Christopher Cooper said the Kennedy center must remove Trump's name from the institution's title within 14 days. That includes taking down the recently installed signage on the center's facade and stripping Trump's name from the center's website on other and other official materials. Cooper's an appointee of former President Barack Obama. He also overturned Trump's planned two year closure of the Kennedy center that was set to begin in July to accommodate massive renovations to the building. As expected, the president reacted to the ruling on Truth Social, calling the judge a leftist and going after the judge and his wife. His wife is an attorney. Maria Shriver, the niece of former President Kennedy, also responded to the ruling, described the decision as, in her words, an appropriate birthday present on the anniversary of her uncle's birth. Shriver noted that the Trump administration could still appeal and the story isn't over, but said the family would celebrate the ruling for now anyway. Meanwhile, President Trump called Saturday for the cancellation of those upcoming concerts that celebrate America's 250th anniversary after several musical acts backed out so saying they should be replaced by a political rally that would be headlined by himself. He said we should have a giant Make America Great again rally for 250 instead of having overpriced singers whom nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring and yet who do nothing but complain. The concerts were scheduled to kick off June 25 as a part of a major event on the national mall organized by Freedom250, a Trump backed public private entity. Trump added, so I'm thinking about bringing the number one attraction anywhere in the world world, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime and the man who some say is the greatest president in history, the goat. Donald J. Trump, to take the place of those highly paid third rate artists.

[Matthew Mikulski]

I haven't heard that yet.

[John Hight]

Sad.

[Matthew Mikulski]

That he's the greatest president of all time. That he's the goat.

[John Hight]

That he's the Goat. Yeah, I liked all the stories that everybody knows what goat means, right?

[Joe Soucheray]

Every greatest of all time.

[John Hight]

Every news story had to put it in parentheses like nobody knows what this means. We better tell them. And United Airlines flight UA236 come on. A Boeing 767 400ER departed Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:58 Saturday afternoon, heading for Palma de Mallorca, Spain. However, roughly an hour and a half into the transatlantic journey, a routine flight dissolved into confusion for the passengers on board. According to passengers sharing their experience on social media, flight attendants suddenly took to the PA system with an urgent command. All passengers were ordered to turn off their Bluetooth connections immediately. The crew issued multiple increasingly tense announcements, saying the directive came straight from United's corporate headquarters in Chicago. Crew members warned if the active Bluetooth signals were not disabled, the plane would be forced to turn around. The panic subsided into frustration once the true nature of the threat came to light. The emergency Wasn't sparked by a technical glitch or a cyber attack, but by a prank. Live ATC Net audio archives from the Newark ramp and company frequencies later confirmed a passenger reported to be a 16 year old boy had customized the discoverable network name of his personal Bluetooth speaker to read bomb B O M B.

[Chris Reavers]

That kid's in a lot of trouble

[Matthew Mikulski]

on what a dummy.

[Chris Reavers]

But I'd like to know. I would really love to know the last person that refused to shut off their Bluetooth on this plane in this situation.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Oh, you know, there were people that are like, I'm not.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, I am way too important. I've got things to take care of.

[John Hight]

There were two of them. Actually I'll get to that in just a second because Bluetooth signals broadcast to any nearby smartphones or laptops looking to pair that name. Bomb popped up on the screens of passengers and crew members inside the cabin, instantly triggering protocol. The aircraft landed safely back at Newark Liberty International Airport where it was met by a massive law enforcement presence including airport police and federal agents. Passengers were deplaned with only their passports and phones loaded onto buses and driven around the tarmac for about an hour while security personnel secured the gate to ensure the offending device hadn't been discarded or passed off. All passengers were required to clear TSA airport security a second time time. While the aircraft and checked luggage underwent a thorough sweep. United Airlines has not yet released an official statement regarding potential criminal charges or lifetime bans for the teenager involved. Passengers, while relieved to be safe, expressed immense frustration over the multi hour ordeal. One traveler summing up the cabin's collective mood online, saying this little joke ruined it for everyone. As I said, everybody on the plane except two people. People turned off their Bluetooth.

[Joe Soucheray]

There you have it.

[John Hight]

Two people, Joe.

[Chris Reavers]

Just two people.

[Joe Soucheray]

There you go.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Would had his off first. He's compliant.

[Joe Soucheray]

Disconnected. Thank you, John.

[Kenny Olson]

Joe doesn't know what Bluetooth is. He thinks it's the one that fell out of his mouth about six months ago crawling around on the floor looking

[Joe Soucheray]

for his I don't think that's my home.

[Chris Reavers]

And rookie found it and he asked are you sure that one's mine?

[John Hight]

Is that one mine?

[Joe Soucheray]

[Chris Reavers]

Here's a guy.

[Joe Soucheray]

This thing is all goofed up here.

[Chris Reavers]

Did you double click the explosion cylinder

[Joe Soucheray]

index or his golf score? Either way, it's a big number. Here's Joe Sushere.

[Matthew Mikulski]

You know, the funny thing is I was talking with a, a coworker earlier this week and I asked that coworker, what, what separates other roofers in your opinion?

[Joe Soucheray]

My hand roof ball.

[Matthew Mikulski]

And you know what he said? He paused for a moment and he put his index finger on his lip a couple times, touched it. I know the clock is ticking, but this is very important. And he said, how long have they been in business? And I said, well, godfather, they've been around for 88 years. I'm talking about Walker Roofing. He said, Three generations. I said, yes, yes, godfather, that's the key. He said, well, that's the key. See right there, this guy did the same thing you just said. And he said if I had a roofing company that was working on my roof that's been around for 88 years and three generations, I would trust them to know their business. I would trust their reputation, their honesty, their integrity. And I would also trust them even more if they were awarded a 50 year milestone anniversary by the better business bureau. Well, they were at Walker roofing. They do things right. Check them out online. Walkerroofing.com call them old school at 651-251-0910. But that's what you got in your back pocket with Walker Roofing. 88 years, three generations. Backed by the BBB WalkerRoofing.com I have

[Joe Soucheray]

an email here that will warm the hearts of any gler who likes to find neat stuff in an old garage. Shoot.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

Here we go.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, Joel, I've been A daily listener of GL since the AM 1500 days back, when callers would start their cylinders for you. I experienced something recently that is right up your alley. Back in 1979, my uncle Earl purchased a 1966 Ford Thunderbird two door hardtop town sedan equipped with the high performance 428 cubic inch Q code V8. The legendary high torque FE block motor came with a four barrel Harley holley carburetor that was rated at three hundred and forty five horsepower from the factory. The car was bought out in California and in showroom condition with 75 miles on it. In 1984, 5,000 miles later, Earl decided to park the car in the garage for an unusually long hibernation. He was 49 at the time, which made me wonder why. The car was beautiful with every available option, leather, factory, ac, et cetera. He was always very meticulous while putting things in storage, say for the winter, up on blocks, removed the battery, drained the fuel, and so on. One of his faults was the fact that he was extremely thrifted and wouldn't ever throw anything away, truly evident when attempting to enter either of the garages. Earl died last fall at 91. Now that warm weather has arrived, it was time to clean out the garage. I would like to enclose some pictures, but in case I can't, he did send me one picture that came through. Let me give you a brief description of what was presented to us when we opened the garage door. This particular garage was two stalls with two doors. We had to fight our way through the service door just to clear things away from the big doors, allowing us to open them. Standing outside looking in, you would have no idea that there was a car in there. You could see part of a boat and of course I stopped right there. I got to know the kind of boat, but the picture showed that it's an old boat and it's fiberglass, but it's very old and it looked pretty cool.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Cool, just like on Golden Pond.

[Joe Soucheray]

Not really. Standing outside, you would have no idea there was a car in there. You could see part of a boat, but not the additional four boat motors and two car engines. There are way too many items to list, especially if I was sure I could paint the proper picture for you. Anyway, after almost a full day of clearing out and sorting 60 years of keepsakes, we found the Thunderbolt. My uncle had it well protected under multiple layers of moving blankets, cardboard, plastic, even had the plywood standing against the sides to protect it. We uncovered the car and was shocked at its Condition after not seeing the light of day for 42 years. Aside from some dust, it looked like he put it away last Tuesday. I opened the door expecting to see mouse nests, chewed wires, droppings and more. There was no nothing. And what I feared the most was the interior. Now the garage has been quiet and dark for the last few years with no one entering it and disturbing the rodent parties. I was totally prepared to open the car doors and be blasted with the aroma of mouse urine and droppings, maybe even seeing them scatter. However, to my amazement, when I opened the car door, I was greeted with a smell that almost resembled perfume. Further inspection of every nook and cranny of the interior showed no evidence of any infestation. The original owner's manual was in the console. Unbelievably 42 years old. And the car is in the same condition as when he put it away. Wait a minute. 42 years old? 1962.

[John Hight]

60, wasn't it 66?

[Joe Soucheray]

A 66. 60 years old is 66.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes, he's referring to how long it's been parked.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh yeah, I'm sorry. Unbelievably after 42 years, the car was in the same condition it was when it was put away. The leather was soft and like new. The headliner was like new. The carpet too. I could not get into the trunk yet. We haven't found the keys. Now that doesn't mean that it's mechanically sound. We don't know what the brake line seals, gaskets and all look like yet. I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm not sure what the next move is. That car was supposed to go to Earl's son Brad. But Brad died less than a year before Earl. Talking to my 91 year old aunt, she mentioned selling it along with the boat and four boat motors, a couple of which are antiques in really great shape. Not sure if this piques your interest or anyone in your circle. We have another two stall garage in a basement to tackle soon. Tons of cool stuff that is a little overwhelming. Just thought that maybe you would find this interesting and maybe intriguing enough that you might want to either look into further or know someone who does. Either way, love the show, always have. Good luck. And I'll be down if I'm telling you where this is.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah, Gabe and I would like to go check that out first just to see what's happening.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'll just say good luck John. That's his real name.

[Kenny Olson]

Beginning what engine was in it? Was it the 4 28? So it's the Q code. 428. Super rare.

[Joe Soucheray]

He said Q code. V8. 428 cubic inch, 385 horse. I'm sorry. 345 horsepower.

[Kenny Olson]

So general value on these barn finds in that model 66 in restorable condition, 3,000 to $7,000. That's for non roll running. I would put that thing 7 to 10,000 if you've got that engine because those matching numbers mean everything to collect.

[Joe Soucheray]

Plus I love the 66t bird look.

[Kenny Olson]

I know you do.

[Chris Reavers]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

I know you love it. That's really something.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'd tell you where it is but I just can't yet.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Can I make a copy of that for you?

[Joe Soucheray]

No, I got it right here. You should.

[Kenny Olson]

Let's pretend we're off the air, okay?

[Joe Soucheray]

No, we're not. We're not off the air and I'm not going to pretend.

[Kenny Olson]

Go buy that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh well. Plus I'm just as interested in the boats and plus I want to walk through it. Plus we have an undiscovered unopened garage. In this email he hasn't opened another garage yet.

[Kenny Olson]

You got to bring 20k down there.

[Joe Soucheray]

Why don't you, why don't you help me a little bit and not mention that I have to bring 20k because

[Matthew Mikulski]

I don't have any money.

[Kenny Olson]

How many hundred dollar bills is $20,000, Matthew?

[Joe Soucheray]

John, I don't know what it's worth but it's not worth 20k and that can.

[Kenny Olson]

No, but I'm saying you're going to need 10 for that car and you're going to need another 10 for the miscellaneous stuff that has yet to be discovered.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

John, don't just. Not you John, the. The car guy. John, that's his name.

[Kenny Olson]

But Johnny's got a 57 telecaster there. TV white.

[Chris Reavers]

Oh man.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[John Hight]

Can I come with?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[Chris Reavers]

Matthew, where would you assess the value

[John Hight]

of that particular piece vehicle?

[Matthew Mikulski]

I'd. It's been sitting a while. It's been sitting a while. So I'm gonna go probably six, seven grand.

[Joe Soucheray]

Humans. Human. Man. Human. Humans.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Human.

[Joe Soucheray]

Losing sight of nature.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Humans losing sight of nature.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, we got to take ourselves out to Yellowstone here. Oh no. And we get. Some people were in line going through the park in their cars and they took a video of a woman who come in the other direction. She parked her car, went across the highway and approached a bison and the bison turned on her and she turned around and ran like crazy and did a full face plant right on the highway. The people filming it are laughing their heads off. She got Up. She was on. All right. Racing across the highway. Did the face plant. Got up. Raced back to her car and got in. Well, people. People have lost their sight of nature. What did this idiot expect? And the comments were hilarious. She has the survival skills of a french fry. Third road. Even the buffalo was confused to watch her run away. You don't appro. You don't get out of your car in Yellowstone.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Joe Soucheray]

This dates back to the Royce days. Remember when Richard parked the car in Yellowstone and they were. Let's walk up to these buffalo and they ran back to the station wagon. They had about seven people in it because they were taking Aunt Bertha someplace.

[Kenny Olson]

I've never heard that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, yeah. Are you out there? I'm here. What was the deal when Richard drove in Yellowstone?

[Kenny Olson]

Jesus. Nobody can hear him.

[Joe Soucheray]

Was a moose. It was a moose down by the river. It was a moose down by the river.

[John Hight]

We had.

[Joe Soucheray]

It had Kathleen and Cecilia. Kathleen and Cecilia. Aunt Peggy.

[John Hight]

My father.

[Joe Soucheray]

Father Richard. Mom. Me, me, me. My brother and my sister and Pat and his brother and his sister. How many? That's about eight.

[Josh Arnold]

Eight.

[Kenny Olson]

It's almost a baseball team.

[Joe Soucheray]

Wasn't one with a bat. The back kind of face the other way.

[John Hight]

It was a Ford something.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. Okay. There's eight in the wagon. Richard stops it. You're gonna. Because he sees a move moose.

[John Hight]

He's gonna go.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know what he wanted to do with them.

[John Hight]

He fed crackers to the bears so that.

[Joe Soucheray]

He fed crackers to the bears already. Already, yeah.

[John Hight]

They were very gentle. They were. They liked the cracker. They're appreciative. They didn't kill anybody.

[Joe Soucheray]

All right. But the moose came charging.

[John Hight]

Richard went down to take a photo of the moose.

[Joe Soucheray]

The other seven people are looking out the window. The station.

[John Hight]

I think the moose had some urchins.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. And felt that the urchins were threatened. And she came charging through the bush and stuff. And the old man came hauling ass

[Matthew Mikulski]

up

[Josh Arnold]

in the car.

[John Hight]

Saved his life by about five feet.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, wow.

[Chris Reavers]

Wow.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Love that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Thank you. I knew you were back there.

[John Hight]

Other wildlife. He also killed Rudolph.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, he did kill Rudolph.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

If you haven't heard that one. Richard shot a deer. Painted the news red.

[Kenny Olson]

No, it was a. I was a young.

[Joe Soucheray]

The nose red. Strapped into the hood of the car and drove through neighborhood saying, sorry, kids. I didn't mean to.

[Kenny Olson]

I read a story.

[Joe Soucheray]

What.

[Kenny Olson]

The hell? He dressed it up. I read a story last week about how we have road rage now in Yellowstone park. Because I don't know if you've been there recently but it's a park working

[Joe Soucheray]

lot though I haven't been there recently.

[Kenny Olson]

It's incredible. And somebody needed to go like 70 and was just honking and break standing people.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, there's no relationship to nature anymore

[Kenny Olson]

with our who's in a hurry to get through the park? Seriously, come on.

[Matthew Mikulski]

There's no reason you should be hurry

[Kenny Olson]

unless you have to go number two.

[Joe Soucheray]

Only because one of the traveling lineman's coming in here.

[Chris Reavers]

Wednesday they will be here Wednesday.

[Joe Soucheray]

Wednesday we're going to have men in person.

[John Hight]

That's right.

[Joe Soucheray]

Right now they're in Eden Prairie. And it's only because these come to us all the way. They've come to us from around the world.

[Chris Reavers]

By the way, I replayed their first visit with us on Friday in the best of the most underrated. Part of the Lyman's first visit with us is when we go to Patrick on the phone talking how the game of flaws would have a. How that would work on an excursion

[Joe Soucheray]

wouldn't work out real well.

[Chris Reavers]

It's such a great listen.

[Joe Soucheray]

On this day, Joe, today is June 1st in 1849. On this day, Minnesota territory was legally organized when Territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey signed a proclamation written by Judge David Cooper. On this day, June 1st in 1853, Ojibwe historian William Whipple Warren. Didn't we have him just the other day?

[Matthew Mikulski]

That was last week.

[Joe Soucheray]

William Whipple Warren died from tuberculosis in St. Paul at the age of 28. Decades after his death in 1885, the Minnesota Historical Society published his book History of the Ojibwe People.

[Chris Reavers]

On this day, Joe, today is June 1st.

[Joe Soucheray]

In 1927, Harper Brothers published the first English edition of Ole E. Rolvog's Giants in the Earth, a novel of Norwegian immigration to the Great Plains. Rolvag, a professor at St Olaf College, wrote the original text in Norwegian. He had to be related to Karl Rolvag, didn't he? I wonder.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Probably not a comedy, huh?

No. On this day, June 1st in 1979, Jerry Spiess departed from Chesapeake Bay in his 10 foot sailboat Yankee Girl, built in his White bear Garage. In 1977, after a solo voyage across the Atlantic, Spiess arrived in Falmouth, England on July 24, 1979, to a nice welcome. I saw him testing that boat on White Bear.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Yeah, he's a white bear.

[Joe Soucheray]

That teeny thing. God, it was just incredible.

[Matthew Mikulski]

You old Yankee girl.

On this day, June 1st in 2002, the University of Minnesota Gophers men's golf team won its First National Collegiate Athletic association national championship. This is out of order. On this day, June 1st in 1859, the steamboat Anson Northrop began working on the Red river in an effort to cash in on the lucrative Red river valley trade and to improve connections with Fort Garry. Later, Winnipeg St. Paul businessman had offered a $2,000 prize to the first boat to deliver a cargo to Fort Garry starting in January. Anson Northrup had traveled with his Mississippi Ste. Northstar up the Crow Wing river as far as possible. Then he disassembled the 90 by 24 foot boat and began the overland trip with 64 horses and a crew of 60 men. Really lost their way near Detroit Lakes. They were found by a rescue party from Georgetown and led to Lafayette on the Red River. Northrop's new boat, renamed for him, set out on June 6th and reached Fort Gary on June 10th. Subsequently sold and renamed the Pioneer, it remained in service until 1861.

God, they were a sturdy people, weren't they? Wow, what a story.

[Joe Soucheray]

On this day in sports disappointment history

[Chris Reavers]

would be lose to on June 1st.

[Joe Soucheray]

On this day in 1976, Bert Bly Levin was traded after he gave the

[Chris Reavers]

one gun slave salute.

[Joe Soucheray]

I see. I had to be at that game because it got Dan win soda. Printed the copy of the Tribune. It was my byline, Right. I guess I wrote about Bert giving the finger to the crowd. He also referred to your radio partner

[John Hight]

as an overweight homosexual.

[Joe Soucheray]

Ah.

[Kenny Olson]

Was he wrong?

[Joe Soucheray]

Can he ask me, was he wrong? Was he wrong? I'm not saying that he was wrong. I'm just saying he did it in a crowd.

[Matthew Mikulski]

And what you're saying is I was

[Joe Soucheray]

a little overweight at the time. Homosexual.

[Chris Reavers]

No.

[Matthew Mikulski]

He shortened it up a bit, huh?

[Joe Soucheray]

No. Well, he went. He went right for the most graphic example.

[Matthew Mikulski]

Got it.

[Joe Soucheray]

I have a question, however. Okay, I guess we're going to keep doing the show. Okay, we're going to keep doing the show. I wanted Kenny for this. Has there ever been a stronger example of undefeated than we have with the police chief of Minneapolis? Ice didn't bother him at all. He fought ice gamely. He got rid of him.

[John Hight]

They were out there shooting people willy nilly.

[Joe Soucheray]

He fought him. He got him out of here.

[Kenny Olson]

Undefeated.

[Joe Soucheray]

Crashing down by undefeated. He was the rumor.

[John Hight]

Crashing down by undefeated.

[Kenny Olson]

He doesn't have headphones, does he?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes, he does.

[John Hight]

Yes, he does.

[Kenny Olson]

The rumor, Patrick, is that, and you're gonna have to read between the lines here, that he didn't have any issues finding a date on a Friday night, if you know what I mean.

[John Hight]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Matthew Mikulski]

As one great athlete from Minnesota said, hey man, it's just what I do. It's just what I do.

[Joe Soucheray]

And boy Josh, one of your favorites, Nvidia, boy did they catch fire. And boy big tech, they went down, didn't they?

[Josh Arnold]

Nvidia catches fire today because of a their presentation at their own Computex event. They caught caught fire big time as they unveiled some new chips for PCs. Now these chips are based of course on their faster processing GPU. And the purpose of these smaller faster CPUs is to go after that small inexpensive laptop line that Apple, I'll say favorite Apple gotten a big win on with their Mac Neo product. Nvidia's PC chips are going to be are first off developed in concert with ARM or they're based on ARM architecture. So ARM the stock is taken off. Chip manufacturers AMD and Intel sold off on this this news. But PC manufacturers like Dell, HP and others have taken a nice bump up Apple which does make their own custom chips and does sell their Macintosh line is seen as a we'll say seen as a loser on Nvidia's news. So Apple shares were down Amazon because they also make custom chip that have been used by companies like Anthropic and others. They are also down on this news as is Google and Meta Semiconductors are all over the place but the big winners you know have been ARM holdings kind of you know kind of interesting what is going on meantime time just speaking of Nvidia because it is a. We'll say it their chips have become a backbone for artificial intelligence development and we've seen more that arena going on. So company like or companies that participate in the development of data centers have also gotten a big boost today such as Oracle which has had some issues issues due to their their need for for money to fund their movement into data center. They do not have the cash flow we'll say that Google has, Amazon has or even a Microsoft has. Microsoft by the way has also gotten a boost over over these new PCs that could come out using the Nvidia chip. Those micro Microsoft platform will be used post of course to the Apple going to be a very interesting development that'll take take place over a significant period of time. Meantime with a potential big winner Anthropic has filed confidentially for an IPO which was not expected until later this year year or early next year that also is going to put into competition for money with the upcoming SpaceX IPO which I'll say is going to be very very interesting. But I would caution again as I have in the past this is a you know fundamentally Space X is a money loser. It is trading at a very very high price to sales ratio and I will say there are a limited number of shares available and unless you can get in on the IPO I would not be chasing this on the the first day of trading. Yes, it could be quite successful. Yes it's could spike. Yes it's going to be probably the by valuation the most expensive IPO ever. With Elon Musk looking to break bring SpaceX public at a 1.8 trillion dollar valuation. That that could happen and the stock could run up from there. But and I say but this this is definitely not for the faint of heart and I would wait if you are not able to get IPO shares don't buy at the market. Do not buy at the market. A better bet would be waiting for and Anthropic and if you don't want to wait with Anthropic there are companies that do own shares of Anthropic from one of several funding rounds, including favorite Amazon, which owns a significant portion, as does Google, and then a little company called called Zoom Communications also does. I think that that deal would be a much better, we'll say bet you know, in the AI space than SpaceX. But a lot is going to be happening in the coming weeks and months, particularly around AI and many of these companies, as we have said in the past, are now trading at very, very high multiples. Please be careful out there.

[Chris Reavers]
