Yeah, Trump is treating it. I used to like this TV show when I was little called Treasure Chest, where Jan Murray would open the treasure chest every week. Remember that?
Remember?
Yeah. So there's that thrill of them getting into an agency and finding the things that are stupid to cut. But there's more to it than that, you know.
Right. I just don't. Well, like when he had this presidential address. Recently, he had a child there who he said had gotten cancer maybe from chemicals, but then they're cutting the things at NIH that are watching that. Like when he talked to Zielinski today, He said, oh, I want to help you with these children that the Russians have kidnapped.
You know, they've kidnapped all these Ukrainian children. But then Doge cut a Yale program which tracks the children and tries to, you know, so this is what's going on. Everybody wants to get rid of waste, but this is a crazy, nobody knows what anyone's doing. Everything's spinning.
That's it, that made me.
Right.
Well, I know that COVID was hard for all of us, but I do know it was hard for you because I feel like I kept sending you pink ties to cheer you up.
Yeah.
I know, I was at my dining room table working by myself for two years. I thought I would go mad. You know, it was a horrible period for the country.
Well, I try, but they just did a crazy six-month redecoration of our office. We haven't been there, but I will be going back after book tour.
You don't need to, but I don't like working alone. I mean, if I had known I was going to be working alone so much, I would have become a cocktail waitress. I don't want to be a journalist enough to do it alone.
Yeah, that's the whole point. The newsroom. Right.
Yeah, all these kids have not even experienced a newsroom. I don't know how they meet people to date. I don't know how they get mentors. I don't know how they imitate. I used to watch reporters, and then I would know how to do it. I don't know who they modeled themselves on. I think it's horrible for young people. But some of them seem to not want to be in the office, which I don't get at all.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fun.
They do the Patrick Swayze leap, right? Don't they dance? Is that the one? Yeah, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
They do the, yeah, that Patrick Swayze.
Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin it.
And we're strangers in a strange land, and they're cyborgs. I mean, you know, they have the phone. They're almost like part computer. And they don't, it's funny with journalism because they don't, want to make calls. They'll text someone, but they don't want to pick up the phone.
