Andy's computer crashed. Andy is on CP time, just so you know. But anyways, welcome everybody to the Don Lemon Show. Welcome to Hot Topics. We were getting ready, just as we were getting ready to go on, there was a computer crash, but it happened. I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's Chrome. Andy says it's Chrome.

Yes, the interwebs is acting up. I believe it's a conspiracy. If everybody can have their conspiracies, we were saying this morning that we can have our conspiracies as well. And we choose to sometimes have our conspiracies about what's going on. By the way, guys, producers, guess what we didn't do this morning? You didn't do my LGBTQ podcast. because now TikTok is missing out on all the fun and the action because I do not have the TikTok up.

And I'm just trying to get this thing up. Okay, so there we go. Just wanna make sure, because I wanna serve everyone. Make sure that everyone, people who are used to getting our content. So you guys are going to have to deal with me just for a little bit. Alrighty. Okay. So here we go. Now we're going up on the TikTok. All right, so everybody, thank you so much. I'm so glad that you are here. Welcome to the folks who are on TikTok. Welcome to the folks here on YouTube. Welcome to the folks who are on Instagram and on Facebook. We're everywhere.
And then later, we're going to be on the Apple podcast. We're going to be on the Spotify and the iHeart. Radio or I had podcast or whatever it is. We're going to be on that. So Boulder, Colorado. So glad that you're H down. So glad to hear. So here we can you guys do me a favor this morning, please.

Okay. Chrome is having massive security issues according to Gizbot. Wow. Well, that gives me some confidence. Thank you for that. I don't know if I needed to hear that. But anyway, nothing there that anybody can't see. Right. They say don't put it on the Internet. Don't put it in a text. Thank you, Don Bowen. Welcome to the elimination. A new member. If you don't want it like we would, they would always tell us if you don't want this, you don't think it can be read on the cover of the front of The New York Times.
Do not put it in a text message or in an email or do not put it on the interwebs, which I think is a good, good, good thing.
