Hi, everybody! Happy Tuesday! Does it feel wow? It's Tuesday already. I mean, it feels like it was just like Easter yesterday. Right? I'm trying to psych myself up because I've had no coffee. Just, um, what do you call it? It's not a spoiler alert, but... Coffee makes me so jittery. Like, I mean, it really changes my personality. It has a profound... effect on me and so it can be really like hyped up or it can make me jittery where i'd go from one thing to the other and i'm already a bit scattered and so what am i talking about hi everybody oh good morning here we go says christy patterson good morning hi i always love the music kristen thompson thank you so look i had a um i'll let you know a little secret
It's not even a secret. But the guy who did all of the sort of production and set designs at CNN, I saw him a couple weekends ago. We were at a friend's birthday party in Virginia. Remember, I went to Virginia and I showed up on the... I went to the rally there. And so he said, I watch your show every day. By the way, everybody there watches our show every day, by the way. Almost everyone is like, I watch your show every day. I watch it all the time. I love it. Lemonheads, blah, blah, blah. And I'm surprised. I'm like, come on, guys. CNN, you're watching my show? But they are. So hi, CNN. Anybody who's watching, hi. How are you guys? Hope you're doing well. And so he said, why are you always making fun of your own music?
We love the music. They actually really like the music. And he's like the guy who does the set design. I don't know if he picks the music or whatever, but he likes it. And he says, because you always say it's boomer music. I don't know. Maybe Guy. His name is Guy. Maybe Guy's a boomer and he loves it. But hi, Guy. Thank you. I'm glad you like it. So, oh, my God. We have to talk. I'm writing something about the very subject that I'm going to talk about. Oh, my God. Who said that? in the chat said hi whatever you suck oh my gosh that was amazing okay so um uh a couple things um i'm writing about the very subject that i'm going to discuss today because it's always the same kind of thank you earth flow earth flow or power um and by the way earth flow or power thank you for reminding me it's earth day isn't it isn't today earth day
Is it like environmental day? It is Earth Day. It is Earth Day. Thank you, Nikki. It's Earth Day. So happy Earth Day. About the kind of man who keeps falling up, who keeps failing up, right? They keep failing up. They're the same kind of guy that like Pete Hicks, you know. Well, look, everybody's out to get me. Everyone is leaking because I'm doing such a great job. They don't like the great job that I'm doing. And so they're all out to get me. Let me fix my flag. Pocket square. Hold on. Let me fix the flag pin on my lapel. And so it is the deep state who's out to get me. Right, kids? It's always the same kind of guy. I've gone through it before. I've gone through it before. And it's always like in their wake. They leave people.
Look, it's usually mostly a man. There are some women. Don't get me wrong. Just remember, the biggest recipients of DEI, white women. A lot of those, too, that keep failing up. But mostly it's men. So I don't want to drag the ladies into this. But mostly it's dudes. And mostly it's white dudes. They just fail up. Maybe it's the older guy who's above them in the boardroom. And they say, that guy reminds me of my, he could be my kid. That guy could be my son. He reminds me of me when I was his age. I'm going to put him there. But he's not qualified. That's okay. I'm here. I got this. Do you guys know what I'm saying? That somehow this guy can be successful because I am going to install him into this position and therefore because he's going to do whatever I say and I'm the one who's pulling the strings.
Puppet master. But then what if you don't know what you're doing? What if you have kind of failed up? You know what I'm saying? Thank you, Wanda Bridges. Heg said, failing up and falling down. 100%. So before I go into what's going on, I forgot to send you what I did last night.
