On the show, everybody [ cheers and applause and he is a legendary singer songwriter whose new album, American Standard, marks his 19th studio album. Back on the show to chat and perform for us, james taylor is here, everybody. [ cheers and applause so, its a great night before we get our guests out, the president went on fox news and lied to millions of people about the coronavirus outbreak as his administration bungles its response to the crisis for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth i think its safe to say at this point that the president of the United States is undermining Public Health and im not just saying that because he looks like an outbreak monkey that escaped from a lab [ laughter ] [ applause ] trump keeps lying to people about the potential threat posed bystes lags behind other countries in testing, even though weve had time to learn from their experiences one Infectious Disease expert called the lack of widespread accurate testing a national scandal. For example, the cdc website said today that 1,500 patients had been tested just at cdc. Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that in a short space of time, south korea has managed to test more than 140,000 people and theyre using an ingenious new way to do it outside of china, south korea has the most coronavirus cases theyve come up with a new innovative way to test for the virus in the form of a drivethrough. Im going to show you drivethrough coronavirus testing. This is a free service that the city of goyang is offering anybody. Vehicles come through here and you get a questionnaire. You get your hands sanitized and then you go through a number of stations here. The patients never get out of the car. They come in, they fill out questionnaires, find out whether or not theyre, you know, risk category and while sitting in their cars, the nurses will swab their nostrils and their throats, take samples and then the results will come in within two to three days. This could be a model for countries like the u. S. That are just starting to deal with their first coronavirus cases. Seth of course, it should be a model for us look, we might be bad at stuff like health care, education, gun control, climate change, housing, criminal justice, and gender equality, but nobody is better than us at drivethroughs i mean, come on. [ cheers and applause and nothing nothing should appeal to a president more than treating Health Care Like fast food all we have to do is put coronavirus testing on the menu at every wendys and hed go get one, himself yeah, ill have four bacon cheeseburgers, two frosties, chicken nuggets, and a cheek swab [ laughter ] yeah, and maybe supersize that swab ive got cheeks like a mainsail. [ laughter ] and yet, we havent gotten truth, transparency, or testing from the president and thats because from the very moment news of the outbreak began to spread, trump seemed to want to wish it away by denying the reality of the situation and telling people that one day, the virus would just magically disappear. You have 15 people, and the 15, within a couple of days is going to be down to close to 0 were going down, not up were going very substantially down, not up i really think, doctor, you ought to treat this like you treat the flu, right and, you know, its going to be its going to be looks like by april, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away i hope thats true its going to disappear. One day, its like a miracle, it will disappear seth as a general rule, never trust someones medical advice when they use the word, miracle. [ laughter ] if you ask someone to look at a rash, and they say, it will go away, and you ask how and they say, like a miracle, you need to go buy some ointment. [ light laughter ] also, i dont trust donald trump on the subject of medical advice or miracles. I have great relationship with god. God is the ultimate. I mean, god created this so, nobody, no thing, no theres nothing like god the bible certainly is one of, if not, i mean, it is the book do you actively go to church . Well, i go as much as i can always on christmas, always on easter, and during the sundays, im a sunday Church Person [ laughter ] seth oh, are you a sunday Church Person . As opposed to, like, a tuesday afternoon Church Person . [ laughter ] trump sounds like an atheist cop going undercover as a priest to spy on a bunch of catholic mobsters [ applause ] so, father, what do you think of our lord and savior, jesus christ . Oh, j. C. . Well, you know, hes just the ultimate and the bible, of course, you know, thats just the book, you know, and [ laughter ] i go to church on sundays. You guys, too . Get me out of here theyre on to me. [ laughter ] trumps been trying to pretend the problem doesnt exist because he knows hell get blamed for it. And he knows that, because if he werent president right now, hed definitely be blaming whoever was president. [ light laughter ] in fact, yesterday, he even lied and blamed a past president for the current lack of testing. The Obama Administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what were doing and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion. Seth you cant blame obama for something that didnt exist when he left office. [ laughter ] obama should have never greenlit cats. i mean [ laughter ] you either go full cats or full people. [ laughter ] and it wont surprise you to learn that this lie was immediately debunked even the white house couldnt explain it cnn reported that a source close to the Coronavirus Task force says its not clear where trump got his information. [ laughter ] i have an idea where he got it, the same place he gets all his ideas. I wont say where it is, but i just hope he washed his hands. [ laughter ] trump knows this whole thing could be a challenge for him politically and for the economy, in fact, msnbc reported that during trumps trip to india not about the virus, but about the stock market our reporting indicates that while he was in india he was watching the stock Market Reaction very closely. He was very nervous and upset to see what was happening with the stock market he seemed to be more aware of what was happening with the stock market than what was actually happening with developments with the virus. Seth of course, because the stock market is the only thing trump cares about. If you told trump that spreading the coronavirus would actually help the stock market, hed be doing press conferences giving people the opposite advice of doctors. Remember not to block your sneezes, lick stuff in public, and just touch your face as much as possible. [ laughter ] just really get your fingers in there and knead it like dough. [ laughter ] trump desperately wants to wish the situation away to avoid political accountability thats why he decided to call network, fox news, and spread disinformation about the virus last night for example, the World Health Organization announced this week that the official mortality rate for the coronavirus so far has been 3. 4 compared to the flu, which is about. 1 now, with aggressive measures in testing, experts say its certainly possible that number will come down instead, trump told fox news host, sean hannity, in a phone interview, that he straightup doesnt believe those numbers. Thats right. We have a report today that global death rate at 3. 4 , and a report that the olympics could be delayed your reaction to that . Well, i think the 3. 4 is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch [ laughter ] i think that that number is very high i think the number personally, i would say the number is way under 1 seth why are you going on National Television and contradicting experts based on a hunch . [ light laughter ] first of all, the only hunch of yours that i trust is the one in your back after an hour at one of your rallies. [ laughter ] i mean, look at him. Normally, you only hide your face like that when youre at a restaurant with your girlfriend and you see your wife at the other table. [ laughter ] i love you, baby, and i dont care who knows oh, [ bleep ] carol [ laughter ] so, trump lied to viewers about the mortality rate and then theres the fact that, employers and Public Health experts are urging anyone with any symptoms to stay home and selfquarantine, rather than god the virus. Just yesterday, a county in washington officially recommended teleworking, and both amazon and facebook asked their seattle employees to stay home but again, dr. Trump disagreed a lot of people will have this and its very mild theyll get better very rapidly. They dont even see a doctor they dont even call a doctor. You never hear about those people so, if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better. Seth so now hes telling people its okay to go to work if theyre sick. This, from a guy who doesnt even go to work when hes healthy. [ laughter ] so, the president is spreading misinformation about a Public Health crisis in order to avoid political consequences, but at least he knows the name of the virus, right so, you cant put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu [ laughter ] seth jesus the corona flu not only is he lying, hes making up new diseases now its called the coronaswineebola flu we just came up with it, very exciting you can find it on the drivethrough menu at wendys. [ laughter ] this is the kind of Public Health crisis that tests the competence and honesty of our president. And obviously, trump is completely unequipped to both counts we need truth, transparency, and testing and were not going to get it from donald trump then again, thats just my hunch [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause well be right back with congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez [ cheers and applause thats how a home and auto bundle is made.

Seth our first guest tonight represents new yorks 14th Congressional District in the house of representatives please welcome back to the show congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez [ cheers and applause seth welcome back. Thank you thank you for having me back seth thank you for being here on such a busy week yeah. Seth i know theyre all sort of busy at this point. But, you know, we were talking backstage, all of us have to be careful about our hygiene right now. Youre obviously a politician who enjoys interacting with your constituents theres a lot of handshakes. A lot of hugging how is it overwhelming for you . It can be overwhelming. Im trying to, you know, make sure that im practicing great hygiene. Everyone, learn how to wash your hands. Seth yeah. I tweet i retweeted a handwashing tutorial and i was shocked by how many people were like, oh, wait, what we were supposed to be doing this 20 seconds . [ laughter ] seth i will say when i heard 20 seconds, i thought im just going to do normal and see where i get to [ light laughter ] and it was i definitely didnt break double digits i know that. [ light laughter ] you know, you guys the house voted to approve 8 billion in coronavirus aid, which is great. Matt gaetz, we mentioned him in the monologue, hes one of your colleagues hes a republican. And he wore a gas mask yes, he did with matching shoes. Seth with the matching shoes. [ light laughter ] yeah, i feel like nobody nobodys ever worn that mask has worn those shoes [ laughter ] no. No seth thats a real first i will say, i have days in congress where i feel like wearing a mask like that seth yeah. Just not for, like, corona or anything, just for the no, no, just the debates. Seth yeah. The toxicity. Seth yeah. Is it helpful when somebody goes through an important vote like that wearing a gas mask . No, of course its not helpful. [ laughter ] we were not here to incite panic. Seth yeah. Seth i will say, he doesnt look panicked. Hes just fully texting. Yeah, he doesnt. [ laughter ] seth yeah. I do want to ask representative gaetz how often he washes his hands. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] that would be a good question, because then you dont need the gas mask if you just do that basic stuff. One of the things that, you know, a lot of people are discussing is who the president has chosen to put in charge of this task force. He chose Vice President pence. Is it safe to assume that you do not think thats the best of his options . No, no. Seth yeah. I think that we should have a person who believes in science seth sure. That sounds good [ cheers and applause in charge ideally, what we have is a person who believes in universal health care and paid sick leave and an agenda that actually [ cheers and applause can help prevent the transmission of disease. Seth well, its interesting you mentioned, you know, paid sick leave because one of the things thats been pointed out by a lot of people is especially in the food service industry, these are people with jobs that are very important to them you know, theyre just making ends meet as it is and, you know, they are the ones who are most likely to pass on whatever illness they have to other people and yet they dont have that opportunity. Exactly and the other issue, too, to compound on that, especially in food service, you know, a lot of people know that i used to work in a restaurant. And that just a couple weeks ago, Stephen Miller and the Trump Administration rolled out a public charge rule against undocumented people. And many of whom we know work in the food service industry. And basically, what it says is that if you are seeking medical care, that could be used against you in deportation proceedings and so the people who feed us are now scared to seek medical care this is not a situation that befits us as a country and its one that, frankly, i think shows that we are as strong as the most vulnerable who we allow to be vulnerable and most vulnerable in our society. Seth you mentioned universal health care. You mentioned paid sick leave. I think these are probably some of the reasons that you have chosen to endorse senator Bernie Sanders yes [ cheers and applause seth also, i do i do while i have you, though, i want to get your take on the fact that Elizabeth Warren, you know, suspended her Campaign Today absolutely. Well first and foremost, i think that we should all take a moment to acknowledge the historic candidacy that Elizabeth Warren represented. [ cheers and applause shes a champion and i think that she ran an absolutely stunning, incredible, race i support and im looking forward to continuing this fight for bernie as well tomorrow, rather, next week, we have contests in michigan and many other states. And we need right now, i think what we are seeing in the primary contest is this is a generational battle. And that we need young people to turn out to vote it is young people that Will Champion student loan debt, medicare for all, paid sick leave, a living wage and as well as our elders that have been in this fight for generations as well, fighting for progressive future for the United States of america which, by the way, is a winning future for the United States of america. [ cheers and applause seth i do you mentioned young you mentioned the youth vote and, obviously, you know, when you look at the demographics of how people are voting, young people are flocking to Bernie Sanders and yet it does seem like what happened on super tuesday, maybe how we didnt meet his expectations, were the young people voting less than they need to for bernies path. Why do you think young people are not coming out in the way that you would hope . Well, i think were seeing a kind of wax and wane in iowa, we saw about, i believe, a 30 increase in youth turnout. And as we saw in iowa, Bernie Sanders came in either, depending on who youre asking seth yeah. He came in first or quite nearly first similar phenomena in New Hampshire with very high turnout. I think with super tuesday with so many states voting at once, we have to reiterate that message, because it is going to be now and in november, i believe, turnout of young people that will have a huge determination in our future as a country. And this is an enormous responsibility and we got to really, really turn up or else you know, we get what you get what you fight for. And you get what you vote for. And i think its so incredibly important that we fight for a future that will work for us that we fight for a Green New Deal that we fight for action on climate. [ applause ] that we fight for ending the system of mass incarceration seth i want to talk more about november well be right back with more from congresswoman alexandra ocasiocortez.

I thought i was managing my moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Until i realized something was missing. Me. You ok, sis . My symptoms were keeping me from really being there for my sisters. announcement final boarding for flight 2007 to chicago so i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. How you watch it does too.

[ cheers and applause seth welcome back. Were here with congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez so a lot of people are saying now that, look, we basically are down to two candidates it seems like and everyones worried if one wins, will the supporters of the other sort of agree to support the democratic nominee thats a question you get asked a lot. Is it safe to assume that you will support joe biden if he is the nominee . Yeah, you know, i think, you know, ive said that throughout this entire process that what is so important is that we ultimately unite behind who that democratic nominee is. And i think its a twoway street ive been concerned by some folks that say if bernies the nominee, they wont support him. And the other way around right now, november, you know, this is more important than all of us. And we really need to make sure that we defeat donald trump at the polls. Assuming, and knowing, how insane its going to get between now and then seth yeah. It doesnt seem like this is going to be a laid back election season its not going to be chill, no [ light laughter ] seth no, its not going to be chill its not going to be like, honey, the debates on, lets get a glass of wine. [ light laughter ] one thing that must be surreal for you is, 2016 you knocked on doors for Bernie Sanders yeah. Seth and then two years later you get elected congresswoman. Now you are actually on the stump with bernie. When you go out on stage for these giant bernie rallies, does it seem does it seem as surreal to you that i imagine it does its completely surreal just, you know, four years ago i was in the south bronx as a volunteer, helping organize this massive rally in st. Marys park and at the time, Bernie Sanders was one of the first Democratic Candidates since, i believe robert f. Kennedy, to campaign in the south bronx and to have a candidate that really saw our community was really impactful and now to be able to go out and bear witness to what so many communities are experiencing all across the country is just very full circle and gratifying seth and obviously, a lots changed for you in the four years. Is it safe to assume that bernie hasnt changed at all . [ laughter ] i think hes changed a little bit. Seth yeah. Well, you know, he is famous for his consistency. Seth i mean, i do think for those who are drawn to bernie, that is the thing that is impossible to argue with as far as a politician with consistency over the years, i mean, he really stands out he does, and hes been fighting for health care as a right this entire time and its, you know, now that im on the other side in congress and you see how much pressure there is, you know, to bow to a lot of special interests the fact that he has been relying on smalldollar donors since before the internet kind of blows my mind its like collecting little checks this whole time and really committed to a Grassroots Movement when it was way, way harder than it is even now is really phenomenal. Seth another thing that will have huge implications, not just on this election but the next decade, is the census. Can you speak about how youre approaching that and how just sort of explain to people exactly how important it is. So, we are all going to get census forms or a prompt were all going to get mailed a prompt to fill out the census in the next two weeks or so and so i think whats really important is we all fill this out. It happens once every ten years. Every single person, no matter your documentation status, no matter your housing status, income, et cetera, is to be counted. And it determines how much our schools are going to get funded, how much infrastructure gets invested and, of course, how many members of congress each Community Gets and if you get undercounted, you know, in some parts of new york city, some communities, the selfreporting is about half of what we think it should be. And that has real impacts on apportionment of how you know, how many teachers that your local schools get so its really important its completely confidential and its even confidential within the federal government. Your your census data is not shared with any other federal agency at all. So dont worry if youre having a creative living situation and its not going to be told to your landlord or anything crazy like that. Dont worry. Totally safe [ light laughter ] seth a good tip. A good tip for my viewers. [ laughter ] hello to the ten of you watching together right now [ laughter ] im very happy to see you got some companionship for yourself. I did seth i would imagine washington, even though its crowded with people, can be very lonely you got a new dog. Yes, deco seth deco. [ audience aws ] [ applause ] these are very very attractive photos of deco. Thank you seth were these professionally done . This was taken in the house rules committee. He was a doggy chairman of the day. Seth uhhuh. [ light laughter ] he rotates, so theres a cast of characters. And so they very graciously invite the dogs of many members to take photos there seth oh, this was not a special treatment for you. Its a rotating set of dogs. Yeah, its a thing. So theres a lot of different doggy chairs of the day. [ light laughter ] seth thats great. By the way, i dont know why thats not on cspan because it should be. Seth it should be, because cspan is boring and needs more dogs it would be like puppy bowl seth yeah, exactly hey, thank you so much for being here [ cheers and applause its always really nice to have you on the show. Congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez, everybody. Well be right back with james taylor [ cheers and applause if you loo america like a d and that was all you knew, would you really understand it with just that point of view .

Please welcome back to the show james taylor, everyone [ cheers and applause seth welcome back. Thank you seth im so happy youre here i am, too its nice to be here seth it was this audio memoir is wonderful. And one of the great things about it is there are certain songs that as a listener you become so comfortable with that you forget a the some point they werent songs and someone had to write them and you talk about writing carolina in my mind. And its really just a wonderful story. Well, yeah, we had hoped people would be interested in that and it was you know, i cant remember an awful lot of the particulars of writing some of those older songs. But i do remember carolina. Seth yeah. And it was can you share with us some of how it came about well, yeah, when i was recording my first album, i was the first person signed to the beatles new record label, apple records. And they had seth can i just stop real quick . Like [ laughter ] cause i imagine anyone when they sign their first record deal theres a lot of pressure behind it. But when its the beatles i mean, was that seems like thered be even more pressure. Well, i dont [ laughter ] no, it felt it felt very easy seth all right [ laughter ] very seth yeah, okay. Okay no, it did. There was very little sort of and that may have been the problem with apple records, frankly. [ laughter ] seth yeah. That it was pretty much hemorrhaging money [ laughter ] but while that window of opportunity was open, i it was a great thing for myself, mary hopkins, jackie lomax, billy preston, you know. Seth yeah, of course and a number of other lucky acts who were, you know, but it was only a year or so that the label still had other nonbeatle performers on it but, anyway, we were we were [ light laughter ] seth i imagine that was a weird meeting day where they said, you know what, i think were just going to be the beatles. [ laughter ] we think our record label should just be the beatles for here on out. [ laughter ] well, a guy named allen klein, who was actually i think a new yorker convinced, i think john and yoko that hed be a good manager for the beatles this is after Brian Epstein died and allen klein basically threw everybody off the record label is what happened seth but you worked on this song with the it wasnt just the label. You went and brought it to the beatles and worked on it with some of the beatles. With that particular song, well, it was i wrote it while we were recording. We took a break. Well, that is to say, the beatles took a break, so the studio that they were using when they werent there, i was there. I would sort of scamper in there, you know, and put down a few of my little tracks and then clear out before they came back. [ light laughter ] but i got to hang around a little bit, too. It was great [ laughter ] seth did in the moment, did you know i mean, you know, did you know it was great . Or was it one of those okay, yeah, okay, good [ laughter ] yeah. Seth im glad to hear that yeah, i knew it i knew it was extraordinary and exceptional. And i couldnt believe it. But they took a break. So they basically closed the studio down. And i went to an island in the mediterranean off the coast of spain called formentera. Formentera and while i was there in those days, it was an extremely sort of laid back and primitive place. There were no there really were no cars on the island and people got around on bicycles or on their feet. And i just i met i met some wonderful people while i was there and had some adventures but myself [ laughter ] but myself excellent. [ laughter ] but myself and a girl named karen from sweden, we we went to we went to a neighboring island there was a Ferry Service over there. We went over to see what was happening on the island of abita. Seth all right [ light laughter ] yeah. And while we were there, we went to i cant remember if it was a wedding or a funeral. But we went to some sort of a [ laughter ] but it was some kind of congregation of people seth yeah, yeah, yeah. People seemed like they were in a good mood seth so probably wedding yeah, well, possibly, but, you know [ laughter ] seth yeah, you never know. Could have been a bad guy. Yeah but we you know, we had intended to take the ferry back over to formentera by, you know, the evening, by the last boat. But we missed the last boat. We had we had our tickets, but we had no money. So there was no no place to get a room or any shelter. We just stayed on the streets. And there was a cafe that was closed down for the night. And the tables were up the chairs were up on the tables, you know, like they are. And we just took a couple of those chairs down and sat at the table for hours and hours while the night went by. And i started getting homesick and i thought of this song and my home so far away and wrote carolina in my mind as the sun was coming up. But were not going to play that song tonight seth yeah.

Are you having fun yet [ cheers and applause yeah, thank you so much for being here now, it is flu season right now. So, if any of you cough, im calling security [ laughter ] im just kidding [ light laughter ] but ive noticed that here in l. A. , when anyone gets sick, they have 17 different ways to fix it and none of them are medicine [ laughter ] instead, they turn to crystals, and sage, and spiritual guidance which are somehow sold at Urban Outfitters [ laughter ] do you really trust a soul cleanser that was sold next to a mug with boobs on it [ laughter ] who heres into crystals dont be shy raise your hands make some noise. [ scattered cheers ] why arent you making the noise . Youre not proud of yourselves [ cheers ] see, im not convinced i mean, i did want to try it, so i went to a store and they told me that i couldnt choose a crystal. The crystal had to choose me [ laughter ] so, i stood there for 30 minutes and it turns out that men on tinder and crystals have a lot in common. [ laughter ] [ applause ] thankfully, i have friends who give me crystals as gifts. [ light laughter ] thank god. [ laughter ] i didnt know what i would do without them [ light laughter ] and did you know that you have to charge crystals did you know this . Audience yes [ laughter ] lilly sorry. [ laughter ] one of my friends gave me a crystal charging station yep. [ laughter ] which is great because, i mean, there is nothing worse than trying to heal yourself and realizing that youre crystal is at 10 [ laughter ] the worst. [ applause ] the worst. Its also really frustrating, because you can have a crystal thats working great and then a newer crystal comes out and then suddenly your old crystal starts freezing [ laughter ] and youre like, im not going to pay 800 just to get a new crystal. Oh, wait it has three cameras okay, im in im in im in. [ applause ] i guess when it comes to crystals, im like jlo. Im not fooled by the rocks that i got. [ cheers ] facts. Astrology is another big thing that people believe in theyll use it for guidance, for support, even for an excuse. I mean, you cant be on trial for murder and say, i plead not guilty, your honor because mercury was, like, totally in retrograde. [ laughter ] okay it wasnt my fault [ applause ]e. It wasnt even my fault. Its ridiculous everyone gets so paranoid about mercury being in retrograde. Like, fam, its 48,000,000 miles away from earth. [ laughter ] im pretty sure you getting the flu has less to do with another planet and more to do with the fact that you made out with everyone at the Office Christmas party, emily retrograde please [ light laughter ] colonics is another big trend. Yall heard of this . Colonics audience yeah. Lilly let me tell you, thats where people try to cleanse their body from toxins by having a hose stuck up their butt [ laughter ] and pumping in Coconut Water yeah then, and this is real, they make you watch days worth of poop go through a clear glass [ tube as it exits your body i mean they definitely didnt have to make that tube see through. That was a choice. [ laughter ] youre insane. Now, i dont know if colonics work or not, but we can all agree its a load of crap. [ laughter ] [ applause ] see what i did there you see what i did there because of the butt, the hose in the butt you get it there are so many other wellness fads theres burning sage, essential oils, cupping and acupuncture. Yeah because nothing relaxes me like knowing 800 needles are going to be jabbed into my flesh. [ laughter ] [ applause ] plus, people are doing these things everywhere, not just l. A. I once went to a holistic healer in toronto this is true and his office was his house first red flag [ laughter ] he made me pick a leaf off a tree and then he read the leaf. [ laughter ] and he said, you must have back pain. [ laughter ] and i thought, thats crazy
