Wisconsin wakes up here.
Back to Daybreak with Brian and JB.
Glad you're with us here on daybreak.
I am Brian Noonan.
Jamie will be back next week.
She is on vacation.
Just real quick, we're moving on to headlines in just a second and stuff you need to know.
But Tyler had an answer to our last question.
When does Up North begin?
And it made me laugh.
If Wisconsin was a plum with a pit at its center, to consider where North begins through Pittsville, you must enter.
Tyler is a poet and I bet he knows it.
Thank you, Tyler.
for bringing us a little levity and a smile to Parker and my faces.
We are two cranky, criminally human beings and you made us both laugh and smile.
So we appreciate it because now we have to get into headlines, which will probably not make us laugh and smile.
Let's start with the ongoing war with Iran, the war of choice.
Two regional officials tell the Associated Press that the United States and Iran are signaling they will hold a new round of ceasefire talks in Islamabad as a fragile two-week truce is due to expire.
Pakistan-led mediators received confirmation that the top negotiators will arrive in Islamabad early Wednesday.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
In other headlines, Pakistan is preparing for the round of talks, even though President Donald Trump appeared to throw cold water on hopes for reaching an agreement to end the war.
He told Bloomberg News yesterday that he's highly unlikely to renew the ceasefire set to expire Wednesday.
Well, it is Tuesday and it's Taco Tuesday and maybe he will run true to form today.
If you know, you know.
In other headlines, Iran's Foreign Ministry called for the release of the Iranian cargo vessel seized by the U.S.
Navy on Sunday, as well as its sailors, crew, and their families.
Iran has vowed to retaliate for the seizure.
And finally in Iran...
Headlines from the Persian Gulf oil prices are drifting lower today, reflecting tentative hopes for a new round of negotiations on the war with Iran.
Brent's crude, which was my rap name back in the day, Parker.
That was, yeah.
Wow.
Didn't know you're
Well, I have a lot of skeletons in my closet.
Well, that is Brent crude.
In this case, not the recording artist, but the global oil benchmark is down 0.4% on the day at $95 and 10 cents barrel.
WTI, the US benchmark has inched down by 0.6% to $86 and 90 cents a barrel.
So those are the headlines having to do with the war.
But there is always more stuff you need to know.
It's a wake-up call in more ways than one.
Time for some sh** you need to know.
First thing you need to know, Governor Evers is seeking help from the state's congressional delegation in obtaining federal aid from the Trump administration as Wisconsin recovers from another historic round of storms that brought tornadoes, hail, and flooding to communities throughout the state.
On Saturday rather, Evers sent a letter to the state's two U.S.
senators and eight U.S.
representatives asking for their assistance in persuading Donald Trump to reconsider his previous denial of some aid after
thousand-year flood that devastated multiple counties last August and to approve assistance for this spring's storm damage.
Take a second and think about that.
That the governor of a state has to talk to congressional representatives to literally beg the president to release funds to help his state.
Hmm doesn't seem right does it well the Trump administration's denials and delayed responses to previous requests quote have left the Wisconsin more vulnerable to this next waves of storms and flooding Wisconsin families businesses and local tribal governments will need a strong federal partnership in the weeks and months ahead and I am writing today to ask you for
your early engagement on behalf of our state.
That was part of the letter that Tony Evers wrote to our congressional delegation.
The governor declared a state of emergency on April 15th and activated the National Guard to assist with response and recovery effort.
That is the true job of the National Guard.
In his letter to the congressional delegation, Evers highlighted a few examples of the damage wrought by last week's storms.
And hopefully now the, well, we have a new head of
FEMA so maybe Mark Wayne will release some money
if the president can see fit to help one of the 50 states that he is supposedly governing You know, he's supposed to be part of we're all Americans, right?
We're all under his administration He should be working for everybody, but we'll see if we can get a little money this time as Again, the denial in August really put things on their heels here in Wisconsin
In other news you need to know, or other S you need to know, Cash Patel is suing the Atlantic.
Yes, he's suing the Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick over a story that alleged Patel has, quote, alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.
That's why you went to HR about me, isn't it, Parker?
Except I'm always
I find out.
I have spies.
The defamation suit filed Monday morning in U.S.
District Court in the District of Columbia seeks $250 million in damages.
Okay, cash.
The athletic calls the suit meritless.
We stand by our reporting on Cash Patel and we will vigorously defend the Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit, a spokesman for the Atlantic told CNN, which I think is great.
We've seen too many media companies
bend the knee and acquiesce to the demands of this administration.
So good for the Atlantic for standing up for their reporter and for their story.
In the suit, it states that
Some of the statements in the article falsely assert that Patel is a habitual drunk, unable to perform duties of his office, is a threat to public safety, is vulnerable to foreign coercion, has violated DOJ ethics rules, is unreachable in emergencies, has required the deployment of breaching equipment to extract him from locked rooms.
Sorry.
I'm locked in the bathroom.
Come get me.
Hold on, sir.
He allows alcohol to influence his public statements about criminal investigations and behaves erratically.
Deformation cases often fall apart because the plaintiffs failed to prove actual malice.
Man, oh man, even if, now I'm sure they have documentation and receipts for all of these claims in this story or they wouldn't have published them.
The Atlantic's not going to make that mistake.
But what do you think, do you think cash
understands that in a lawsuit there's a discovery phase and to prove defamation you have to prove actual malice and that these statements are false.
So all they have to do is prove they're not false.
Well, Patel's lawyers say the Atlantic ignored pre-publication denials.
They failed to take even the most basic investigative steps that would have easily refuted their claims and showed clear editorial animus against Patel.
The Atlantic, however, has positioned the article as being thoroughly reported and carefully written in a manner that compromises national security.
Patel has sued two times in the past.
One case was dismissed and the other case was dropped.
So we'll see what happens when discovery starts.
That list, again, is just crazy.
They're a list of assertions, allegedly.
against Cash Patel.
I'll throw the in the allegedly because I don't see Civic back in my play.
If I say something, Cash Patel decides to sue us.
I'm out the door and on my own.
All right, more as you need to know, Wisconsin businesses could recoup millions in illegal tariff money.
That's good news, right?
Businesses in Wisconsin and across the country can now apply for refunds for the money they paid in Trump administration tariffs that were struck down by the U.S.
Supreme Court in February.
U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, launched a new system Monday to allow importers to apply for their share of $166 billion.
What's your share of $166.28?
That amount, $166 billion was paid in tariffs that were later deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.
The new consolidated administration and processing of entry system, known as CAPE, already faced technical troubles on Monday morning due to high traffic volumes according to Main Street Alliance.
Why does that not surprise me either?
Nothing that this administration does is thought through well enough and
I'm sure they didn't think they were going to get as much traffic.
Now, every business that is owed tariff money is going to go on as soon as they can because people are smart enough to know if I don't get in first, there's a good chance they've already used some of that money and I'm not going to get mine back.
But anyway, businesses can apply, can only apply for the refund on imports they made directly.
So if they purchase goods through a supplier who charges them a higher price due to tariffs,
That added cost for the business will not be refundable.
Businesses of all sizes are still paying tariffs that are separate from those deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.
You know, there was the universal 10% tariff put on things and suppliers have a whole different way to try to get their money back.
Here's the bad news, friends.
We don't get our cuts back.
So yes, prices went up.
We had to pay more because of the tariffs.
But since we're not directly paying the tariff, we're paying the business that directly paid the tariff, the money doesn't come to us.
Doesn't quite seem fair.
Again, putting the American people first, he said, was tongue firmly, firmly in cheek.
Okay, final piece of s you need to know, Appleton approves emergency homeless shelter despite neighbor concerns.
BSC Companies Inc.
A non-profit ministry operating as Providence Promise secured a special use permit for an emergency homeless shelter in downtown Appleton but not before neighbors aired concerns with the operation.
Providence Place Shelter will be established at 314 North Appleton Street and will serve as many as 50 people per night during extremely cold weather.
The shelter is designed to supplement services provided by pillars and the goal is to open this new emergency shelter in December when the severe cold comes.
Appleton requires a special use permit for shelters in the Central Business District.
The Common Council approved the permit on April 15th by a 14 to nothing vote.
Now, prior to this vote, there were some concerns, as I mentioned, from neighbors.
Stephen Colleen Carroll, owners of Rookie Sports Bar and Grill at 325 North Appleton, expressed concern for the safety of their customers and staff.
They suggested the shelter find another location.
I don't know Rookie Sports Bar and Grill.
It seems like it'd be a fine place.
I don't know if a homeless shelter is going to
be that dangerous, especially because it's smaller than, you know, it's 50 people a night.
Once they reach their limit, people will...
be turned away but you know that was for the common council to hear that if you have a concern that's why you go to these meetings so good for them for going.
Marissa Downs is the owner of Rise Apartments it's a 48 unit affordable housing community that shares a lot line with the shelter property also voiced concern.
She requested that the shelters operation plan be expanded to include a good neighbor agreement to minimize issues.
Now a good neighbor agreement for those of us who were not familiar defines expectations before
for conflicts occur and provides a framework for incidents when they arise.
So it sounds like a reasonable plan.
Despite those concerns, again, the Common Council did approve the emergency homeless shelter there in Appleton.
All right, when we come back, we will play swipe or stay.
Once again, Parker gets his vote.
and Frank, all puffy-chested and full of his own power, gets to decide the ties.

I'm really excited for this one.
I'm more excited than I was yesterday to tell you the truth.
Really?
Well, thank goodness you won't get vetoed.
It's been a slow celebrity news.
We can.
All right.
But we've got a couple of things.
Also, I just want to say thank you to everybody who's been giving recommendations for this bachelor party.
I have to plan.
Remember the criteria are needs a golf course and it needs a place to hike eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two, eight, five, five, seven, five civic.
If you want to join in and give me a recommendation of where to have this bachelor party.
But in the meantime, Brian and Parker, we're going to play swipe or stay.
So I'm going to give you some big pop culture headlines.
You each get to decide whether to stay on the topic or swipe onto the next one.
In the event of a tie, we're probably just going to read the story because I get to be the tiebreaker.
And I need to fill airtime.
So
with
This hasn't been an easy decision, but it's one we've made together with so much love, respect, and care for each other.
We've shared a whole life over the last decade through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we'll always carry with us.
In addition to their relationship ending, their podcast, a touch more is also ending with it.
Yeah.
And that might even be a stretch.
So Madonna posted and said, still flying high since Friday night at Coachella.
This full circle moment hits different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing.
My costume that was pulled from my personal archives, jacket, corset, dress and all other garments.
These aren't just clothes.
They are part of my history.
Other archival items from the same era went missing as well.
She is now offering a reward for those clothes.
Safe return.
I'm hoping and praying that some some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team.
Like there's no way it happened, but people find a way.
Crooks are going to crook, Frank.
And it's crazy to me that I love that Madonna was like, let me go into my bag to one of my really legendary outfits and wear it.
Should probably change it out and comes out and boom, they're gone.
You know, it's not all pop stars and glitter here on swipers.
We got to get ready sometimes.
So don't worry.
This isn't anything too salacious, but the Teflon Don John Gotti's grandson is sentenced to 15 months behind bars.
Carmine Agnello.
grandson will do time for scamming the federal government out of $1.1 million in COVID relief funds.
Oh, in 2020, he applied for at least three COVID relief loans for his auto parts business and use over $400,000 of it to invest in crypto.
It is daybreak.
It's Daybreak with Brian and Jamie.
Welcome back to Daybreak.
I am Brian Noon and Jamie's on vacation.
Well it's baseball season and for the last couple years it's been a little sad when you go to
Ampham Field, or if you're listening to the game and you don't hear Bob Euker's voice because for over a more than 60 year career, Bob Euker was not only Mr. Baseball for his legendary work in the Brewers broadcast booth, but he was also a national star.
He used his quick wit and humor to go from major league backup catcher to become an actor, a talk show fixture, and now the subject of a brand new documentary called Uke.
It made its world premiere last Thursday at the Milwaukee Film Festival.
I am joined by the men behind that film, Steve Farr and Michael Vollman.
They are the directors, the filmmakers that brought this film to life.
They are also Milwaukee residents and grew up rooting for the Brewers and they join me now.
Guys, first of all, congratulations on the film and the world premiere last week.
And thanks for joining me this morning.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Brian.
Thanks for having us.
Thank you so much for having
You're very welcome.
And either one of you feel free to jump in on this one because
Unlike some documentaries that are made after the subject has passed on, you guys had the privilege of being with Bob Euker for the last three years of his life.
So was it hard to convince Euk to let you follow him around with a camera and be the subject of a film or did it come easy for him and for you guys?
You know, it was easier, I think, than we thought it was going to be.
I had worked on it.
September Club, our production company had had a development meeting and that was probably in the fall of 2022.
We were trying to come up with some local subject to do a documentary about because it would be relatively easy to do it because we live in Milwaukee.
And we wanted to do something maybe that kind of showed the community and its best light and that type of thing.
And Bob Yooker came up as an option.
We just jumped at it because we thought this would be great.
I think Michael originally didn't think it was going to be
possible or might be difficult, but we did have a connection with him because I had worked on an ALS PSA with him during COVID.
So anyway, we got through to him and he said, let's get together in Scottsdale.
And so we did that in December of 22.
Had a lunch that lasted, we thought it'd be an hour, hour and a half and ended up being, I think four and a half hours, something like that.
And it turned out he had he had he had already done his homework on as he had vetted us.
And so I think his mind was as long as he didn't, you know, hate us.
I think I think he had already decided that we were probably the right people to work with.
So that so that was great.
It was a terrific lunch and from there it was shooting.
It was a great amazing experience because it was a documentary that a lot of people had talked about making, but it seemed like.
You know, a dream project that maybe we would never be able to do.
And then suddenly we're like on an airplane or airplane flying down Arizona and meeting with them and it happened really fast.
Like, because we got a hold of them and suddenly we're shooting this documentary.
Now, Bob Uker,
Yeah, I mean, his.
First of all, as we started doing a research and we knew a lot about him, but realizing how many lifetimes he lived in his career.
I mean, being a professional baseball player and then doing stand-up comedy and ending up on the Johnny Carson show.
I mean, that itself is kind of amazing.
And the fact that he was on that show more than almost anybody in the history of The Tonight Show.
And then to kind of become part of the zeitgeist and his some of his catchphrases and things like
from the
Miller light commercials I must be in the front row and Just a bit outside from major league.
I mean some of his his catchphrases became part of the zeitgeist so We knew all those things and but but wanted to connect all the dots and then also
introduce the audience to a more personal side of you, which, you know, get to know him a little bit more.
Well, the really personal side came because you were you were filming the documentary when Bob got his cancer diagnosis.
How did that change if it did at all the direction of the film?
You guys had a plan when you went in, but how did this
make you have to adjust and how did he adjust to now all of a sudden dealing with this news and also having a camera crew following him around?
Right.
Well, yeah, it was relatively early.
I can't remember exactly, but I imagine it was, you know, early in the 2023 season, you know, maybe in May or something that Bob gave me a call and told me what was up.
And, you know, and I just kind of said, well, you know, what does that mean for the documentary?
We'll do whatever you feel is
right and he said well you know just just I may not have as much time to spend with you guys but I we had we had a shared a just a list of different scenarios and things that we we were going to try to do with him and it was probably 1012 you know items long and he just said you know we're not gonna be able to do him right away everything right away but I'm gonna try to you know knock everything off the list and and
You know, we didn't do everything, but we did enough and all the time that we had with him was amazing.
Well, I think for a couple of reasons.
Number one, I mean, the Brewers have been very good.
You know, the last...
over the course of the last decade, I'd say, and that's amazing.
And there was, I think in the back of a lot of people's minds, was the thought, will Bobby Garcia a World Series?
Everybody was hoping that that could happen.
So that was one of the reasons.
The other reason was just because to see Bob do what he does and to see
Him fighting through this cancer diagnosis.
I mean the fact that he went to the ballpark as often as he did and called so many games I mean is phenomenal.
I think letting fans sort of see How dedicated how much he enjoyed the ballpark how much of it was a refuge from other personal things in his life Those are all important in that that kind of made it obvious to sort of make the 2024 season part of that narrative
They are the filmmakers behind Uke, the new documentary about Bob Uker.
You can go to ukemovie.com.
So you guys interviewed for the film a lot of really high profile baseball folks.
And they all had glowing things, obviously, to say about Bob Uker.
Were any of their stories a surprise to you where you went, oh, we didn't think you were going to say something like that.
Did did anything jump out?
Hmm.
Oh, I stumped the band.
Yeah, you may have stumped the band.
They haven't
heard that one yet.
Thank you.
Wait, we didn't rehearse for this one.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if there's anything super surprising.
I think, I think, you know, and, you know, one of the nice things with it is that it was more like it confirmed a lot of our, our thoughts about, about Bob and, and like you can't, you did, sometimes they say you don't want to meet your heroes, right?
And in this case, you know, Bob was kind of everything we hoped he would be.
And in the interviews, the people, you know, a lot of people just got emotional.
I mean, when we would kind of always ask the question, you know, you know, Bob's 90s, you know, he's not going to do this forever.
You know, what's what's like day going to be like?
And everybody would pause.
And I kind of have a hard time answering that question.
You'll see a little bit of that question.
Yeah.
You also showed a 20-minute preview on opening day at Ampham Field for Lifelong Brewers fans and Milwaukee guys.
Tell me about that experience, both of those experiences, and what it meant to you to see this work and tribute to Bob Euker come to life.
I mean, to be on the field to show that preview was pretty cool.
I mean...
We were literally standing on the field.
And so, you know, we've had the opportunity to go on the field a little bit shooting and stuff like that.
So it's always an amazing moment.
It's sacred ground.
It kind of feels like, but to see the reaction of people in a 20 minute excerpt to see how, you know, how much laughter there was.
And then there was tears and laughter and just people really seeming to enjoy themselves and glowing.
I mean,
That was amazing.
And then to have the premiere at the Milwaukee Film Festival, those two great institutions of Brewer's Baseball in Milwaukee Film Festival has become such a great institution in Milwaukee.
And then see the two loves, my two loves of baseball and film coming together was just an amazing
night.
How about for you, Steve?
Yeah, I mean certainly a night to remember I mean this is something I've been I've had a production company purple onion in Milwaukee for 39 years, you know doing mostly marketing work and So, you know, I didn't I didn't anticipate doing this at this point in my life And so it was it was kind of great to be around friends and and family and and you know just seeing how Well the film went over it kind of like, you know, it hit in all the right spots everything we kind of hoped it would do it did do and
And then to share that evening with the Yooker family and members of the Milwaukee Burs and to see how moved they were by the film.
And I think sometimes we've been talking about the tears and the sadness, but there's so much laughter.
And so that was just really gratifying to be around 1,000 people.
There was two theaters that were packed that night.
So we had to do multiple.
introductions and the Q&A went great with Josh Maurer.
So I don't know, it was just kind of a perfect evening.
Now, when somebody is in our homes as much as Bob Uker was, you know, 60 years, whether it's listening to Brewer's games or seeing them on TV, we feel like we know them.
Is there one thing that you think viewers of Uke, the documentary, are going to be surprised by?
Because we all think we know Bob Uker's story, but there's got to be something, right?
I think the one thing that we always we always heard the story about When Bob was in the 1964 World Series with the St.
Louis Cardinals and there was an incident where he had picked up a tuba and Picked you know some so the band was on the field.
He's picked up the tube and he started trying to shake fly ball fly balls with You know with the tuba and you know kind of put some dents in it and it was a great
It gets a lot of laughs and there's some amazing pictures and everything.
But as we did interviews, we kind of realized that actually that was something that he regretted because the manager didn't like that too much and basically decided he wouldn't be playing the World Series.
And so that was something that surprised us.
He does play a lot of things as laughs, but that was a regret I think he had that he picked up the tuba.
Well, right now, we've got to deal with Marcus Theaters to do a statewide exclusive release.
It should be in most theaters, Marcus Theaters in July.
Probably late in July.
And, you know, we'll see what happens after that.
Certainly we're, you know, open to a streaming deal.
And, you know, maybe there's some film festivals down the road.
But right now, I mean, the easiest way will be to wait until July and check it out at one of your Marcus theaters.
And I've saw the teaser and the poll.
Everything looks terrific.
Congratulations on a wonderful project and a very fantastic tribute to a legend here.
Steve Farr and Michael Volman are the men behind Yook's movie, Yook's
It's just called Uke, but go to UkeMovie.com and you can learn all about it and find out.

Wisconsin wakes up here.
Back to Daybreak with Brian and JB.
Glad you're with us everywhere along the network.
And if you are listening on WMDX, like Tom is in Jackson,
we will be saying goodbye to you at the top of the hour unless you listen to the Civic Media app.
You can download that quickly for free and then you can listen to us in the final hour if you decide that today's not the day you want to stick with Stephanie Miller and you want to see what we're up to in the final hour of the program.
You can do that again.
Just download that free Civic Media app and oh my goodness, I will follow you everywhere.
It'll be a little creepy at
We were talking about the Bob Uker documentary UkeMovie.com is where you can go to find out and again it'll be at Marcus Cinemas throughout the state in July so keep your eye open if you want to see that.
right now that is, you know, the obviously with any film they're working on other things.
But at least you know that you can see it in July at the theater with like minded folks.
That'll be a lot of fun.
And Tom, who I mentioned was listening on WM DX says summer's just not the same without hearing you call the brewers games and time you are not alone in that feeling.
We were all fascinated by space a couple weeks ago with Artemis II.
Remember that?
Oh man, we sent people up past the moon the farthest they've that a human being has ever gone around the moon.
I'm still all on Twitter about it.
I loved it.
Well, now this is another celestial event that you can be part of, the Lyrdis Lyrids Meteor Shower.
coming and you'll be able to watch it from Wisconsin but my question to you is whether it's the Northern Lights whether it's a meteor shower all of these things what is your favorite place to stargaze maybe you have a dark a dark place near you you might want to keep it a secret but we'd love it if you shared it with us eight five five seven five civic eight five five seven five two four eight four two because we're all going to be looking skyward
starting tomorrow on Earth Day.
Wisconsin Sky Watchers will have their best chance to see the annual Lyridus media shower on Earth Day, which is tomorrow, and the forecast could set up for an especially striking display this year.
Now the meteor showers, the Lyridus showers, usually last from April 15th to the 29th, but they're going to peak on April 21st and 22nd this year.
That's today and tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Earth Day under ideal
conditions.
The latest shower rains down 10 to 15 meteors per hour.
I have never seen a meteor shower, but I want to.
I will be out tomorrow night.
The latest fall on a waxing crescent moon just before midnight on April 21 into 22nd.
But when the moon sets before morning,
and the sky will be the least obscured.
According to the Milwaukee Clear Sky Chart, Wednesday, April 22nd, we'll have almost zero cloud cover all day and night, setting up a great view for those who can get away from light pollution.
That's always the tricky part.
Now the good news is in Wisconsin, especially for the northern lights, there were a lot of places just outside any city or town where it gets really dark really fast.
So
Everybody, we all should be able to get a good look if we can.
So the learners are remnants of Comet C1861G1.
That's your favorite comet, isn't it, Parker?
Sure.
The Comet C1861G1 Thatcher.
When Earth comes into contact with the comet's debris stream every April, the debris creates a meteor shower in the atmosphere.
I did not know any of that.
So how should you watch it here in Wisconsin?
It will start to become visible once the Vega constellation rises.
Of course.
There's like three people go.
All right, check.
And everybody else is like, huh?
Well, the Vega constellation will rise above the Northeast horizon, usually between nine and 10 o'clock.
That makes it easier for 90% of us or more.
Oh 9 to 10 o'clock.
I understand that part.
The best viewing period will be right before dawn.
So when we're coming to work.
Perfect.
Yeah,
There we go.
The moon is going to be hidden and the Vegas star radiant point is bright overhead.
Meteors may be visible all night, but will be most frequent when the radiant point is highest in the sky.
If you are an astronomy or a...
buff, please let us know what any of that means.
I will be because knowing me, I'll be looking to the north.
What I like, I know where the northeast is.
So I that I get.
Yeah, I know nine and 10 o'clock and just before dawn, I understand that.
I probably see this is where Jamie would have done.
Jamie would have had a five minute dissertation on the Vegas star radiant.
I'm sure me.
I just like to admit that I have no idea what it is.
And because quite frankly,
I'm a man of the people, Parker.
And a lot of, I think most of the people that I am a man of also don't know what the Vegas Star Radiant is.
And I like it because it's clear.
It tells me exactly where I have it.
Like I'm looking down.
Is that right?
No.
I said, look up and turn a little bit to your right.
Okay.
Now, keep looking up.
All right, what am I looking for?
Stuff that's moving.
Okay, cool.
That's how we do.
All right, so that's tomorrow night.
Good luck.
And here's the other thing.
You can say you see it, even if you didn't, because nobody can fact check you.
Ooh.
So I do not promote lying, but whatever.
Good luck.
All right, when we come back, there's headlines.
There's stuff you need to know.
And there's the big third hour of the broadcast.
WMDX will talk to you tomorrow, but you
can always listen on the air.
I'm Brian Noonan, this is Daybreak.
