Next week fake here in trial in the house I got no wrong year and no due process which John. That was just part of my life from a tweet in which the president was previewing next week's hit t.v. Show what are we all going to be watching next week The Apprentice get impeached. That's certainly one of the titles they workshopped but it isn't course you're right the impeachment hearings if you thought the little mermaid live on a.b.c. This week was impressive but you're going to love next week's public and peaches. In hearings it will be just like the Little Mermaid except it will be Rudy Giuliani who suddenly starts singing. The hearings which have taken place in private for weeks now will finally get some air time on live t.v. Seriously whoever thought Donald Trump would be on a trial show and it wouldn't be law and order s v u. T Ok we're all special victims now you know. It's it's been 20 years since we've seen an impeachment on t.v. And the technology has completely changed the hearings will be binge and like Netflix there will be a button where you can skip opening statements that will be great. The call somebody could say well you know there might have lights and make up it'll be weird to see Vice President pens with the skin color. And I browse even Yeah I'm tuning in if there's a rose ceremony that's what I want to see it's amazing to me that there is such a cast of characters to call on us because this week we had one of Pence's assistants or something and now at this point it seems people listen to these phone calls it makes me think of like like he's in an office he's on a phone call it's probably on speaker right and there's like a line of 20 people outside the door like all one after another with their ears up to the door and then somebody sneezes and they all fall in the back of illness and some of them were in the room and you just imagine the faces they were making to each other you know like it was like they were like literally grabbing a lighter to set their hair on somebody that's. Trump should have done what people normally do when they're on a conference call which is like you know you know the president on the phone the president like President of Ukraine just so you know you're on conference with the response. Rock your mouth. All right Harry. Harry here is your next quote Ok. That's the phrase that's become the rallying cry the verbal I roll if you will for what group of people when they criticize baby boomers I don't know well who's We note to whom it's being sad who's send me money Oh yes it could be the for years now America has been blaming young people for everything bad from the death of bars of soap to serious movies to those 10 pounds we can't get rid of Dan you millennia old well the kids are not all right with this they're annoyed and they have focused their rage laser like into the phrase Ok boomer now it was created on tick tock At least that's what I've been told I am 54 years old. So I cannot hear the range in which the audio on tick tock is broadcast. So it is a perfect weighing though it's great to dismiss any sort of trolling concern from an old person you kids don't understand the value of hard work Ok boomer. It's so good I've fallen I've fallen and I can't get up Ok. I have a reverse mortgage. I this is so weird because I thought this was all just hate Chantel towards Boomer Esiason. Really yes I do not think people hate Boomer Esiason I don't mind I don't know what was a corner Ok boomer but I think that. A quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. So it started online of course like everything doesn't it spread everywhere there's merchandise but it got into the international news this week when a 25 year old member of the New Zealand Parliament was heckled while she was making a speech about the climate and she just so quickly came back with an Ok boomer. That the guy was so burned he actually contributed to global. It's terrible I think that Ok Boomer would be a great I think we could make I think we can blow this out I think it should get a reality show and I think it should feature boomers trying to do things like they have to reset their passwords or turn off the box I had I thought I now got to help from kids or grandkids. Imagine all the disappointed old people those who thought Ok Boomer was a new dating app. But Ok and it matches people by how early they fall asleep in front of the t.v. .

All right 1st let's hear from Jordan Carlos linguistics professor Bradley Basil was shocked when he received the following text from his girlfriend by mistake you're right I need to leave Bradley and come back to you I see now that Bradley has basically been a mistress or whatever the male equivalent of a mistress is now most of us at this point would have flown off the handle learning that our girlfriend of nearly 3 years was secretly married but not Bradley sure he was a jilted boyfriend but 1st he was a linguistics professor what was the male equivalent of a mistress side piece extra walk back door man he had to know Bradley obsessive research for a term and even consulted his peers at the University after a week of head research Basil confronted his girlfriend Dawn with all his findings that sadly there literally is no male equivalent of the word Mistress be gender is a construct and see the closest we have in English to that word is definitely under studly because it's. All right a British man finding out that he is the male equivalent of a mistress to his girlfriend who turns out to be married decides to find out what the appropriate term is for that position your next story of a supportive significant other comes from faith say only men will go to great lengths to impress a woman a man who happens to be a pilot knows just what to do he invites a lady to experience his cock pit. And that's exactly what. Russian pilot for the airline in the Arrow did recently he welcomed his girlfriend into his cabin during a commercial flight over Siberia with passengers aboard but he didn't stop there he let this Slavic beauty named Ana actually fly the plane because he wanted to be the best boyfriend while at the same time being the worst pilot because everyone aboard could have died and he made a video of it in the video which Ana posted on Instagram because she is in her twenties and then. And then deleted because she could get arrested you can hear the pilot giving his special friend explicit instructions to make the encounter pleasurable for both of them he says as she steers back to the right now to the left and turn it back on a is wearing a fluffy pink sweater and has fluffy pink lips and points to the navigation display and asks Powderly Why can't I get there the unseen pilot answers Well I have no idea why you can get there but the real non flirty answer is probably because she has 0 flight qualifications a spokesperson for the airline offered a perfectly inscrutable Russian take on the incident stating there are doubts these materials are actually linked to the activities of our airline in the field of passenger transportation. Thanks very much finally. To some of his girlfriend who let her fly the plane your last story of a boy you know boyfriend comes from Adam Felber at the age of 17 Yoshi Kiyoshi him of Osaka Phil madly in love with a girl named her Rico and she with him the only problem was that he was a violin prodigy and the granddaughter of a famous violinist and grandma says you go had one demand of her protege no man ever quote They're foolish and distracting she told her granddaughter truthfully worse grandma says you can. Lived on the family compound but they had love and grandma physical had bad eyesight the 1st time she came across the young couple together you know she pretended to be a plumber fixing the kitchen sink and the ruse worked perfectly and so began a 15 year dance in which her became a renowned 1st violinist for Tokyo's equally renowned and h.k. Symphony Orchestra and Yoshi in a variety of disguises kept the old lady in a dark by pretending to be various characters including a delivery boy a roofer a butler a maid an accountant a dishwasher repairman and on one notably compromised occasion when Grandma Sukkot walked in a massage therapist. In 2015 the couple married in secret and you She kept her secret maintaining the household and a closet full of disguises and fake mustaches and whatnot until last week when in an interview marking her 90th birthday grandma Sukkot was asked about her famously single granddaughter and she stunned the nation saying quote Oh she's been happily married for years they think I don't know but he sure keeps the house in great shape. So these are your choices. From Jordan Carlos a British academic who in response to finding out that he was a piece in the side tried to find a better term for peace on the side from face Aliah Russian pilot who allowed his own girlfriend to fly a plane filled with passengers or from Adam Felber a Japanese man so devoted to his girlfriend that he pretended to be a wide variety of helping occupations just to have access to her home which of these is the real story of a devoted male lover I don't think. You're going to see that number 2 thank you not even I think that would be crazy story of the Russian pilot with his girlfriend take the controls Yeah I think you're going to choose that story all right well we spoke to someone who is familiar. The real story of a Russian airline pilot allowed to draw because the pilot the couple really the controls of the aircraft employed that was Patrick Smith of ask the pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential talking about the pilot who that his girlfriend drive and by the way Patrick thanks you should not do that to graduations you got it right Faith was telling the truth. But I. Want to find her you've also earned our prize the voice of anyone you may like saying whatever bra you choose on your voice I'm going to take you up on that offer Absolutely thank you so much thank you diddy. And now the game where people who have been very wise learn what it's like to make a little mistake Leslie Odom Jr has been a successful working actor since the age of 17 a few years ago he got what every actor dreams of an offer of a lead role on a t.v. Series but he turned it down because Instead he wanted to work on this new Broadway musical that musical turned out to be Hamilton in which Leslie originated the role of Arran Byrd we welcome him to the room where this is happening the rest you're welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell me. Oh my. Hamilton of course is a phenomenon like I've never seen after a lifetime of like enjoying the theater do you how often do you get approached on the street by people who come up in immediately start like doing a number from the show with you that if you put it better than anyone I've ever heard said outside the door on the street if you were a Beatle. Like once you cross the Avenue it's a little less than that to say it depends on where I am right you know I happened to be in the police but there are a lot of your people. Got to get recognized and the people always love me but if I'm some sort of like in a place where they're not a theater town really you know I'm more likely to be recognized I'm like a nationwide commercial sure. Did you guys know when you started working in the show with women well I'm not even sure where it was what was 1st put on its feet did you have any idea what it would become eventual And I I knew what I felt about it I knew that it touched and. I didn't know that it would connect with America you know I didn't know that like that it would reach people so far and wide. Yeah I mean and what was it like when all of a sudden that happened in the crowd started showing up in front of the theater and waiting for you outside the theater when all of a sudden For example a parade of celebrities came to see your show I remember beyond faking it was it was a trip it was it was living a dream I think that the trifecta acting for art in my book in ways like something that is culturally relevant and be fulfilling and commercially successful Yeah. All those things you lucky if you get one or 2 of them yeah and Hamilton was all 3 so what we did did they tell you when celebrities were in the audience oh by the way beyond sizers and I didn't screw it up. There were 2 lists of people there were the list of people that didn't mind knowing and there was a list of people that didn't want to know what I was on them I did not want to know you did not want to know what were you afraid would happen if you found out.
