Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics, the Don Lemon Show, 10 a.m. Eastern Time here on the East Coast, of course. Otherwise, it wouldn't be on Eastern Time if you're in Central. Of course, it's 9, and then you keep going down to L.A. It's 7 once you get over there. So, welcome. First order of business, like and thumbs up. because it does affect the algorithm more. People become aware of our conversation in our channel. And I promise you today will be one of those shows that you will really be upset that you missed because we have some great guests this morning. I would give you a hint, but I'm not gonna give you a hint. I'm just gonna tell you, it's Daniva. Monkey Daniva is gonna join us in just moments.
So, and we're gonna talk about what is going on, especially with this audio, because the audio expert has also spoken out again. But just let me tell you things. I like to start conversations and discussions from an honest place. Where am I gonna put this phone today? I have so much junk on this desk. From an honest place, okay? So before I bring in the guests, before we have a discussion about this, I just want you guys to know, by the way, again, like and thumbs up. Good morning, everybody. Let me know where you're streaming from this morning. Hello, greetings from Southern California. You know, I've been thinking, about something ever since that I listened to that SeaTow audio again, and it's C-S-E-A and then T-O-W.
So it's a tow company for boats, much like AAA is for cars, because people have been misspelling it everywhere wrong. I even saw it on transcription on one of my posts wrong, like C, like the letter C-T-O-E, but it's S-E-A-T-O-W. So on that audio again, I've been like thinking about and thinking about it. And actually it's not really the audio that I've been thinking about. It's more about what happened afterwards and how sometimes it becomes a telephone game. You guys know what telephone is, right? And then you tell someone, they tell someone, and then you go down the line and you say, now what did the first person say? So I talked about this in this morning's Lucky, I wrote about it in this morning's Lucky Lemon 7 newsletter.
Daniel Grimes also co-authors that. He's gonna join us in a bit too. Because I couldn't get this out of my head. The audio investigators, investigator, or the audio engineer released what they released is real. That is authenticated. The audio is real. The enhanced version is real. An audio engineer listened to it, enhanced it, and put out what she believed she was hearing, what she believed she was hearing. And I want to be fair to her because she was very careful about it. She said, this is my interpretation. And then she said, it shouldn't be the only interpretation. And that's really important because somewhere after that, I don't know exactly where people stopped saying, this is what she thinks she's hearing and started saying, this is what they are saying.
And those are two different things. And maybe that's what keeps bothering me about this because people have confirmation bias and they want to say, now there are words that I hear. I hear certain words very clearly. And then there are other things that I don't hear. But if you're looking at the transcript, you go, oh, maybe, yeah, maybe, you know, that's, I did hear that. And look, I'm doing this not because I don't want answers. I do want answers. I want answers as much as anybody else. Nolan's family deserves answers. We all deserve answers. We should keep asking questions. We should keep putting pressure on this investigation and the investigators. But I don't know. I don't know. It feels like we've gotten to this place where being first is more important than being right.
Or maybe that's not the right way to put it. Maybe it's that certainty has become more valuable than honesty, okay? Because sometimes the most honest thing that you can say is, I don't know. And it's okay to say, I don't know. It's okay to say, I hear this, but I'm not sure. It's okay to say, well, let's wait and see what investigators find.
