And you got to go. Well, hold on. This is kind of some differentials here that what I expected previously. So with that being said, now, you know on how the layout of the world goes.

21
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
But you know where I like to start my juggling. I started juggling by talking about the stuff that was trending.

22
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Here is what was trending. Rated R. Safety Show.

23
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Okay. So let's take a look at the trend of the end of the end. Not the trail ends, but the trails of the end of the end of the ends.

24
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:58,000
If you get the groove, you know, because the Emperor got his groove back. So let's talk about this. North Korea depends on its alliance with Russia and look at America's favorite fry.

25
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We'll talk about that here in just a minute. Also Liam Payne's family speaks out on the ultimate on the untimely passing of what happened with him.

26
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Also, Harry Winkler wasn't properly compensated for his role as the water boy and dirty dancing heads to Broadway. Hold on in the water boy. So he wasn't compensated properly.

27
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
I mean, okay, we're going to have to find some stuff out there because you know, he was the Fonz at some point. So we need to figure out some of that shit too.

28
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:38,000
What else is the King heads to Australia and we'll talk about some details in that inside of the Royals. So a lot of stuff going on as we are speaking, hanging in all of that fun stuff.

29
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:50,000
So if you're ready to go down the journey, I have some people sitting here waiting to talk to us from feature story news because you know, they want to be featured in a story and talk about some new stuff because this is kind of the layout of the land.

30
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:02,000
So if you're good, I'm good and we can get it all moving and grooving for you on feature story news stuff because why wouldn't we want to do that? So if you're good, let's get that going right now.

31
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
We'll bring in the people from feature story news. They're going to give you everything that's going on. So let's go.

32
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Here is the news on the Royals safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Ollie Barrett.

33
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:25,000
The US has described the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a good day for Israel and the world. Sinwar is believed to have been the mastermind of the October the 7th attacks on Israel.

34
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:36,000
He was killed by troops in Gaza on Wednesday. David Mensah is a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and he says Sinwar's killing doesn't yet mean the end of the war.

35
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:53,000
The mission is not over yet. It is certainly, as the Prime Minister said, the first day of the day after Hamas, we think. But our mission will not end until we bring all of our 101 hostages home now. Hamas need to set them free.

36
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:08,000
China's economy grew at the slowest pace since early 2023 in the three months to September, according to new data. The property sector remains a major challenge for Beijing as it tries to boost growth. Laura Westbrook reports from Hong Kong.

37
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:23,000
New data from China says the world's second largest economy grew 4.6 percent in July to September compared to a year earlier. That was better than expected, but still below the target set by the government of five percent growth this year.

38
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:34,000
That could mean more stimulus measures by the government. Beijing announced a slew of measures last month to boost the economy. China is dealing with a protracted property crisis.

39
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Millions of young graduates unable to find work and weak consumer spending. Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.

40
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Liam Payne's One Direction bandmates say they are completely devastated by his death. They've released a joint statement saying they will miss him terribly after he died in a hotel in Argentina.

41
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Showbiz reporter Sean Mandel says several of them have posted their own messages as well on social media accounts.

42
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The group statement saying that they will be sharing more, but that they are absolutely devastated. Some of the heart rending memories that the individual members of the band shared include, for example, Louis Tomlinson, who said that they had actually grown closer since they left One Direction in 2016. They had planned to actually even record music together again.

43
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla begin a royal tour of Australia on Friday. Charles' cancer treatment has been paused and the trip has been shortened because of his health.

44
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:46,000
India says Canada didn't take action against gang members that have been accused of being linked to Indian government agents in a murder of a Sikh separatist leader, despite New Delhi's requests.

45
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Tensions between Canada and India have soured over last year's killing, with both sides this week each kicking out six diplomats.

46
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Rande Jaswal, spokesperson for India's Foreign Ministry, has reiterated India's position.

47
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
So far Canada has not given any evidence in support of the serious, very serious allegations that they've levelled against India.

48
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.

49
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:22,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks looking in more detail today at the death of a music icon, Liam Payne of One Direction, who died in a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on Wednesday.

50
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:33,000
The hotel had summoned police, saying that he was acting erratically and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs, substances with which the singer battled for many years.

51
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Show business reporter Charlie Gerling interviewed him on several occasions and says that in the latter years of his life, after One Direction's breakup, he was not entirely comfortable in the spotlight.

52
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
I don't think he was handling it particularly well in the latter years of his life.

53
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
You know, he was, when I used to speak to him when he was in One Direction, he was very, very sharp.

54
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
He was always the one that corralled the rest of the band, that organised them, that sat them down, got them speaking to me, got them sort of on message and on point to me.

55
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Talking about what they were plugging. Latterly, that was not so much the case.

56
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
You know, his most recent single hadn't done particularly well and he certainly, his career had sort of stalled a little bit.

57
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000
He'd talked about struggles with drugs and drink and he was not in the best place, I think, in the last year or so of his life, very sadly.

58
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Liam Payne was just 31. He had been on holiday for several days in Argentina when his death occurred.

59
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:39,000
One Direction burst onto the music scene in 2011, released five albums and became one of the best known boy bands of the decade before it split five years later.

60
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I'm Simon Marks.

61
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000
To recap the top stories, the US has described the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a good day for Israel and the world.

62
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
China's economy grew at the slowest pace since early 2023 in the three months to September, according to new data.

63
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Liam Payne's One Direction bandmates say they are completely devastated by his death and Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla begin a royal tour of Australia on Friday.

64
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:25,000

00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:53,480
We are Radio. We are Sargassum. We are both combined. Radio Big.

77
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,480
We are Radio. We are both combined.

78
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:53,480
We are Radio. We are Sargassum. We are both combined. Radio Big.

79
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,320
It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're

80
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:18,320
in and cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system. If

81
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,840
you don't own a home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you. But

82
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:28,840
if you own a home like me and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home

83
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:35,080
title fraud, one of the fastest growing crimes. Cyber thieves around the world know our home

84
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:41,520
values are sky high at the moment and that makes us a target. The crime is scary simple.

85
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Let me explain it to you real quick. A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property

86
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:53,520
cell form and refiles it. That's it. Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you

87
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,960
have no idea that you're a victim. Then the version takes out a loan on your home and

88
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:04,280
vanishes, leading you to prove to the police that you didn't commit bank fraud. Home title

89
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:10,440
locks put a virtual barrier around your home title. The instant they detect any kind of

90
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,560
tampering or anybody messing around, they help shut it down. Look, if you have equity

91
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,680
in your home, you need to guard it the best way that you can. Some people might even go

92
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,300
as far as guarding it with their life. Go to home title lock.com and register your address

93
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:32,300
to see if you are ready or a victim and enter the code radio. That's R A D I O. That's the

95
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:46,300
Great at our safety show. Sarcastic never. So do you feel like you're missing out on

96
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:51,940

97

103
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:41,460
sex? J Allen in the morning. It's so bizarre and unnatural. It's all good on a radio. Okay,

104
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:49,520
here we go. We are currently 16 minutes past the time of the hour hanging out here doing

105
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,980
all the fun stuff that we get to do. No doubt about that. So let's start getting into some

106
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:58,820
of the things that are going on inside of the multiverse because that's exactly what

107
00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:04,060
we need to talk about. So let's get into it. An independent panel tasked with revealing

108
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:09,980
the July the 13th assassination attempt on Donald Trump urges fundamental reform at the

109
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:15,340
highest level of the Secret Service. The task force included former government and law enforcement

110
00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:21,260
officials who conducted a 58 interviews with key personnel that reviewed more than 7000

111
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:25,620
documents and the letter summarizing the finding sent to the apartment of Homeland Security

112
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:32,620
Secretary. The panel says the Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent and static.

113
00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:39,620
And that will not that with without changes. Another butler can and will happen again.

114
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:45,700
It's the guy's last name, you know, the assassination attempt guy. So just in case the reports includes

115
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:51,120
obvious recommendations to fix the security lapses that have since been well reported,

116
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:56,940
but concluded that the failures of having to do to do the inaccurate funding the Secret

117
00:17:56,940 --> 00:18:03,940
Service budget is nearly doubled the last decade from 1.8 billion in 2014 to three billion

118
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:10,940
dollars plus today. Even an ultimate budget would not by itself remedy many of the failures

119
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:18,460
that occurred on July the 13th. The report says. So what do you think here? Because that's

120
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:22,220
a lot. I mean, let's not lie here. That's that's a big thing. This is according to NBC

121
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:27,820
News, by the way. So what are you thinking? When you hear something like that, what do

122
00:18:27,820 --> 00:18:32,660
you think does reform look like? Because that's going to be the question because we're sitting

123
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:36,340
here and we're talking about this and it's not like a day's ago because I don't want

124
00:18:36,340 --> 00:18:40,420
it to become one of those things. But if the reform doesn't occur, what are we looking

125
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:46,340
at and the Secret Service budget, three billion dollars? I mean, you hear that number. I hear

126
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:51,380
that number. It's a big chunk of change, but the chunk of change being there without the

127
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:56,980
proper fundamentals and the training and all that that becomes something entirely different.

128
00:18:56,980 --> 00:19:01,300
So that is something that we will need to talk about and give some consideration to

129
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:06,820
no doubt about that. So what are your thought processes when you hear that? I mean, I don't

130
00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:11,700
know. So I mean, July the 13th has always stuck out in my in my life, but I look at

131
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:15,740
it from that particular standpoint. A lot of people look at that date now and go, wow,

132
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:19,740
what the hell is going on? I mean, no doubt about that. When you start giving some thoughts

133
00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:25,980
to that safety never sounded so terrible. Rated R safety show. OK, so depending on who

134
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:33,260
you ask and yes, this is a big depend here. North Korea has deployed troops to the frontlines

135
00:19:33,260 --> 00:19:39,500
of Russia war against the Ukraine so it can tune of ten thousand soldiers. Russia completely

136
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:45,780
denies there any reinforcements at all. The South Korea South Korean media reports that

137
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:52,620
via Ukraine public radio that 18 North Korean troops have disappeared from their posts and

138
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:58,460
suspects case dissertation dissertation that they've deserted the thing altogether in regards

139
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:05,340
of it. Meanwhile, the North reportedly amended its constitution on Thursday to formally designate

140
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:12,740
the South as hostile nation as a process little more involved than Kim Jong-un saying so.

141
00:20:12,740 --> 00:20:17,580
So there you go. So yeah, I mean, it's going to get interesting because we've been talking

142
00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:23,020
about this for a hot minute here and it seems like every day there is something new that

143
00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:28,020
we're adding into it. Where we go. OK, so did you hear this? And if you didn't hear

144
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:33,020
this, can you hear this? And if you didn't hear this, let's add this. And if you didn't

145
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:37,940
hear that, let's add that. I mean, it's getting pretty strange. So I don't know what's going

146
00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:42,460
to happen there, but we'll definitely keep our eyes out there for it. So let's talk about

147
00:20:42,460 --> 00:20:49,700
this early research shows that another promising application for diabetes drug like ozempic

148
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:55,020
for beating substance abuse. Yeah, I said beating substance abuse and a study published

149
00:20:55,020 --> 00:21:02,120
by Journal Addiction, people on the weight loss drug with a history of opioid abuse showed

150
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:08,980
that a 40 percent lower instance of overdose in those who did not take ozempic or similar

151
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:14,340
products. Likewise, in alcoholics, about half of the users of the weight loss drug stopped

152
00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:20,180
boozing compared to those who did not take it at all. That would probably make sense.

153
00:21:20,180 --> 00:21:27,180
One research says that our study reveals the possibility of a novel of a novel therapeutic

154
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:31,580
pathway in substance abuse treatment. This is according to the Wall Street Journal. So

155
00:21:31,580 --> 00:21:41,860
I'm slightly confused here. So doesn't ozempic make you feel full quicker? Isn't that what

156
00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:47,340
the dietary thing is? So let me kind of just analyze here. And I mean, I'm just throwing

157
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:56,520
this off the cuff because that's what I do. If I feel full quicker and I'm putting a lot

158
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:04,820
of liquid in my body, I would not want to drink more liquid because I already feel full,

159
00:22:04,820 --> 00:22:11,380
regardless of it being alcohol or not alcohol. Am I pushing? Am I pushing the boundaries

160
00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:17,380
here? I just want to make sure that, you know, I'm not talking out of turn here in that particular

161
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:22,540
regard. So what do you think? What do you think when you hear this? I'm just asking

162
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:25,940
the question because I want to have a better understanding here. I don't want to fail anybody

163
00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:32,900
when I, when I bring this up. So there you go. So what do you think? Do you look at it

164
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:36,780
and go, Oh, I've had an example of using ozempic. I mean, I don't know. Everybody does their

165
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:41,020
own thing. So everybody has to do whatever they think that's best for them and go, okay,

166
00:22:41,020 --> 00:22:44,240
this is work for me. This hasn't worked for me. I don't know. So that's going to always

167
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,740
be the question. Okay. So let's talk about this career success for Gen Z looks quite

168
00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:55,780
different than it has in the past with aspirations to become an influencer, artist or model

169
00:22:55,780 --> 00:23:02,020
be beating out traditional high achieving paths like doctors, lawyers or teachers. High

170
00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:09,140
achieving. Okay. The researchers analyze the 385 million Instagram posts from the age group

171
00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:15,060
identified the most sought after jobs after modeling America's youngest adults wants to

172
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:19,900
pursue a career as an artist, photographer, makeup artist, or even a blogger. The sixth

173
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:25,980
place of things, uh, the little bit more serious, but barely, uh, with marketing as a desired

174
00:23:25,980 --> 00:23:32,500
career rounding out the top 10 are singers, personal trainers, actors, and influencers,

175
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:39,540
but one can be an influencer in any number of previous paths. This is according to Odyssey,

176
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:45,940
Odyssey, um, making reference to this. So I don't know. Do you see yourself in any of

177
00:23:45,940 --> 00:23:51,900
those categories? I mean, do you want to be an actor? Do you want to be an influencer?

178
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:57,380
Do you want to be a photographer? Definitely a singer. I mean, I don't know. I look at

179
00:23:57,380 --> 00:24:00,820
some of these singers that are out there and I'm kind of amazed on how talented some of

180
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:06,100
them are. And I'm amazed on, you know, some of the other stuff that they're able to do

181
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:11,380
as well. Like there's some, there's some singers that I follow and I'll say like on social

182
00:24:11,380 --> 00:24:16,420
media platforms and I'll take a listen to what they sound like production wise. And

183
00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:24,980
I'm always impressed. Then you hear them live and there could be questions on, is it a backing

184
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:29,700
track? But we can leave that question for another day. And then there's others that

185
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:34,100
play everything live and you go, geez, that person can probably sing the phone book. If

186
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:38,540
you know what a phone book is, uh, and kind of go, it's quite amazing on how it works.

187
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:44,140
Okay. So let's talk about this fast food experts from eat this to not that release their annual

188
00:24:44,140 --> 00:24:52,420
ranking for best friend fries. And here's what we came up with. Here's the top five

189
00:24:52,420 --> 00:24:58,860
and number five is Chick-fil-A with number four being Burger King. So we're going to

190
00:24:58,860 --> 00:25:03,020
start getting into number three, two and one and number three. I mean, I'm going to ask

191
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:07,180
some questions here because I'm almost saying that they could have probably been ranked

192
00:25:07,180 --> 00:25:16,100
a little bit higher, but at number three is Arby's curly fries and number two Wendy's

193
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:23,580
and at the number one spot for the best fries, according to eat this, not that it's McDonald's.

194
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:28,260
Yep. The exact science behind the ranking since it was not disclosed, but was it, was

195
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:35,720
it potato content saltiness, uh, shape size crispiness? I don't know. I can't tell you

196
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,620
the answer to that question because they did not say, I mean, they ranked it. I mean, they

197
00:25:41,620 --> 00:25:48,340
even have like in and out fries at a number 12. You have wing stop at number 11. Sonic

198
00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:53,180
even groovy vibes made it in there at top 10. Five guys was number nine. Number eight

199
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:59,460
was Culver's. I don't know. I'm still not sure if I like Culver's. It seems like a good

200
00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:04,380
concept and then you kind of start losing it. Shake Shack got number seven and Taco

201
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:10,940
Bell nacho fries. Yeah. They, they hit the list, but that's not even like a consistent

202
00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:14,660
product. So I don't know. So there you go. Some stuff to think about. Let's talk about

203
00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:17,900
the Dow because some people are going to care about the numbers. So the Dow gained about

204
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:26,620
161 points to close at 42,238 on Thursday. They hasn't BTEC down. Uh, let's see by, by

205
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:34,220
a point. Yeah. To close at 5,841 and the NASDAQ gained about six points to close at 18,373

206
00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:38,660
the sex is intermediate closed at $70 a barrel. Brent crude was at $74 a barrel. The national

207
00:26:38,660 --> 00:26:44,940
average price of a gallon of gas was $3 and 19 cents on Thursday and Bitcoin was down

208
00:26:44,940 --> 00:26:50,900
1.1% trading right around 66,800 and there was more than 2,810 flights delayed within

209
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:56,900
and to and out of the United States on Thursday with about 50 such cancellations and tonight's

210
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:02,900
mega million drawing. Let's talk about that. We'll be for $185 million jackpot or an $88.4

211
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:08,460
million cash payout. Saturday's powerball drawing will be for $437 million jackpot or

212
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:17,420
a $210 million cash payout. So if you want to play the game, there's time to do so. So

213
00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:22,540
there you go. Let's talk about some other things real quick. Liam Payne's loved ones

214
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:27,120
issued a statement on Thursday, one day after his passing saying that they are heartbroken

215
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:32,760
over the loss. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we'll remember him for his kind

216
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,700
funny and brave soul. We are supporting each other the best way that we can as a family

217
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:43,700
and ask for privacy in space during this awful time. This is according to what the family

218
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:49,380
told the BBC on an update that has occurred with this. Take a listen real quick on Thursday,

219
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:55,680
police officials in Buenos Aires told the AP based on preliminary autosapy that it is

220
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:01,260
believed that Payne jumped from the balcony of his room. A toxicology report is still

221
00:28:01,260 --> 00:28:06,820
pending. This is according to AP. You know, I have a hard time reporting some of that.

222
00:28:06,820 --> 00:28:11,580
Let me explain why I say this because it's still an ongoing investigation. There are

223
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:17,580
some assumptions here, but we don't know this as a final. I know and I don't like talking

224
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:22,420
about that because we don't know. So still a number of things. We'll talk about it more

225
00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:28,740
as we go because that's just the way that it is. So take a listen to this. If you don't

226
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:33,340
mind in honor of the 30th anniversary of her holiday hit, All I Want for Christmas Is You,

227
00:28:33,340 --> 00:28:38,460
Mariah Carey slipped back into a Santa suit to announce that she is re-releasing the single

228
00:28:38,460 --> 00:28:45,900
and a 12 inch vinyl and a CD single. Hold on. What is this 1990 along with a new artwork

229
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:51,060
for the record. Carey earns about $3 million a year on the song. This is according to the

230
00:28:51,060 --> 00:28:57,100
Sun. So I don't know, not her son, but according to the Sun. So what do you think? I think

231
00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,740
it's pretty interesting. $3 million still. I mean a year on that. I mean, don't get me

232
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:06,900
wrong. I'm sure you'll take that and I'll take it. But man, I did not realize that that

233
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:13,300
song was still so popular that it would cause that. So earlier I talked a little bit about

234
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:17,180
some Harry Winkler, you know, the Fonz, but he says for his Roland Waterboy, Herring Grieger

235
00:29:17,180 --> 00:29:22,940
says that he was compensated with a cookie. Winkler details that he came up to be a part

236
00:29:22,940 --> 00:29:30,620
of the film on that day on Kelly Ripa's podcast. Let's talk off camera saying that Adam Sandler,

237
00:29
