Thanks to everybody who signed up. The biggest news, of course, and we'll keep this for the end of the show, which is an old kind of radio trick to keep people listening. That'll be Emily's review of her first Phish show. That's what everybody wants to hear. Any top-line thoughts? What can we talk about at the end of the program? Vibes were chill. Three words. Vibes were definitely chill. Seeing Ryan at a Phish show is seeing Ryan at his absolute peak. My happy place. No, truly. And Ryan brought his kids, which was super fun, too. The kids were not so keen on it, but...
Krystal Ball 3:08
They got, you know, slushies or whatever else you can get. It was an education. It was. It was. But lots to get to on the show today, Ryan. Breaking news on the Iran front. Also, Trump striking a brand new deal with Saudi Arabia. It's about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, so obviously relevant to ongoing negotiations in Iran and strikes continuing as well. So much to break down on that front just in the last couple of minutes. Yeah, Hegseth was on Capitol Hill. Trump was in the Oval Office. So we've got a lot of sound to work our way through. Yes, Hegseth begging for money on Capitol Hill. And I promise you, he's going to get it. Well, he will. He's going to get it. It might be a little bit of a fight, though.
Krystal Ball 3:47
We'll pay up.
