00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:00.100 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.400 You need taxi.
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.300 This is the 77
00:01:07.160 WABC Minicast.
00:01:10.720 Now,
00:01:11.620 teachers have this power to
00:01:13.640 have conversations
00:01:15.720 with the kids about
00:01:17.460 sexual
00:01:18.980 subjects, and
00:01:21.840 then they don't have to tell the parents and they go to great lengths not to tell the parents
00:01:27.800 and if your kid has a problem uh sexual uh questions they can ask the counselors without
00:01:36.640 the counselors ever having to say to the parent hey your kid you know your your son thinks he's a
00:01:42.220 daughter or whatever else might happen so when once that happened and the parent was taken out
00:01:49.120 of the equation as far as the school system went then it really became who the hell is teaching
00:01:57.380 your kids and what are they teaching them you don't really have a say in it anymore
00:02:02.560 and sometimes even if you take the initiative and want to go to a pta meeting if they even
00:02:10.440 have those anymore uh you're the bad guy they'll put a scarlet letter on you that you're a 0.98
00:02:18.340 a sexist, a racist, a homophobe, whatever it is, 1.00
00:02:22.840 and now you're the bad guy, 0.99
00:02:24.500 and they can, in essence, turn that child against you
00:02:29.100 without any issues.
00:02:32.360 There's no recourse.
00:02:33.500 You can't go to somebody.
00:02:35.380 Oh, this teacher or this administrator, this counselor,
00:02:39.020 is telling my kid that my take on how I want to raise them is wrong,
00:02:46.660 and in some sense, perhaps even illegal.
00:02:51.720 That's who's raising your kids now.
00:02:54.320 And that definitely changed over time.
00:02:57.600 That's nothing that you could say.
00:02:58.980 Well, was it always like that?
00:03:00.560 No, it wasn't.
00:03:03.960 And your family, you know,
00:03:05.780 I think we had a lot closer relationships
00:03:09.200 with our families back then.
00:03:12.020 You know, you have your dad.
00:03:14.100 You got your uncles.
00:03:15.320 And they weren't your dad, obviously, but you learned a lot from them.
00:03:21.920 I learned so much from my Uncle Tony.
00:03:26.940 He listens.
00:03:28.100 Hi, Uncle Tony.
00:03:29.120 Love my Uncle Tony.
00:03:30.480 And I learned so much from him.
00:03:33.000 And it wasn't an intrusion.
00:03:37.020 It wasn't a brainwashing.
00:03:39.200 You know, as I grew up and got the mature ability to reason things out, and you'd have conversations with people that were older than you, and sometimes you'd listen and take a piece of advice, and sometimes you'd go, wow, that is really bad.
00:04:00.440 But, you know, and then you'd have your own experiences.
00:04:03.120 But for the most part, there was, again, this commonality you had.
00:04:09.200 in family, in your neighbors.
00:04:12.000 You know, the dad that lived next door
00:04:14.280 wasn't going to tell you anything so insanely different
00:04:19.620 than your own family would tell you.
00:04:22.200 And they weren't going to treat you differently.
00:04:24.000 It was just this common morality,
00:04:29.560 common ideology and ethics in the neighborhood.
00:04:34.200 And it was never discussed.
00:04:36.420 They didn't go around and go,
00:04:37.560 here's what we're going to tell our kids.
00:04:38.780 are we all on the same page it was just the way it was that's how americans live
00:04:43.820 and then these extremists got into every position where they are spending time with your kids when
00:04:52.200 you're not and just twisting the hell out of their their minds that brings me to obama uh his uh i
00:05:03.980 I guess him and Mike, Big Mike Obama, were on a podcast together
00:05:11.560 to prove their marriage is awesome, you know,
00:05:17.140 because there are rumors that maybe they're divorced
00:05:19.640 or they're not getting along.
00:05:21.340 So going on a podcast together proves it.
00:05:25.400 You know, who am I to say?
00:05:28.500 Yeah.
00:05:29.100 Yeah. So Obama gets on there and he says that boys need men as as, you know, for guidance.
00:05:40.920 But not necessarily, not necessarily their dads.
00:05:47.200 And, you know, OK, I could see that. Like I said, I had uncles.
00:05:52.200 i had people that um absolutely i i trusted and and took what they said and and really thought
00:06:02.660 about it and and it wasn't this insane stuff that was so much different than what my dad would have
00:06:10.260 said to me or or any reasonable adult that i trusted in my family but obama says boys need
00:06:18.640 men besides their dads as role models and uh he apparently had a role model growing up and
00:06:28.520 let's listen to obama tell it to us and that's one of the things that i think a lot of times boys need
00:06:37.300 is not just exposure to one guy one dad one dad no matter how good the dad is he can't
00:06:48.420 He can't be everything.
00:06:50.420 And then that boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad.
00:06:55.900 One of the most valuable things I learned as a guy was I had a gay professor in college at a time when openly gay folks still weren't out of line,
00:07:12.440 who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy 0.90
00:07:17.220 and would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant.
00:07:23.800 You need that to show empathy and kindness.
00:07:28.480 And by the way, you need that person in your friend group
00:07:32.240 so that if you then have a boy who's gay or non-binary or what have you,
00:07:39.200 they have somebody that they can go, okay, I'm not alone in this.
00:07:42.440 Oh, boy.
00:07:43.860 See?
00:07:44.900 Do you see what they're saying here?
00:07:48.000 I'm no genius.
00:07:49.620 I'm not sitting here going,
00:07:51.220 ah, did you catch the secret code, people?
00:07:55.800 Did you hear the secret code underlying in the audio track?
00:08:01.180 No.
00:08:02.340 It's blatantly obvious what he's saying there.
00:08:05.300 your dad isn't the be all end all of your uh um upbringing and what a man should be teaching 0.98
00:08:15.820 another man a growing child a boy you need a gay professor to undermine what your father tells you 0.90
00:08:28.240 because he even said in that quote he goes you know you need somebody to kind of put a check on 0.72
00:08:33.140 your your dad on the dad tell you what your dad's all about no no that's up to you as a son
00:08:42.260 when you get older to to have life experiences when and unfortunately enough when you have that
00:08:53.160 heartbreaking moment when you realize your dad didn't know everything and perhaps he was wrong
00:09:00.680 about this. The feet of clay, they call it. It's a rite of passage for any son. You don't need some
00:09:09.840 gay professor. Marty, Marty, take your pants down. You don't need a gay professor to to bad mouth 1.00
00:09:20.880 your dad, it's 0.99
00:09:24.920 so subtle in how they do it. It
00:09:28.760 really is so subtle in how they
00:09:32.660 present this perversion of
00:09:36.660 raising kids. I did it. I had a gay
00:09:40.780 professor. You know, he taught me a lot. 0.73
00:09:46.900 Marty, where are the butt
00:09:48.880 plugs marty it you don't need some other guy uh second guessing what your dad does to raise you
00:10:02.120 you can have other role models i get that but that's not what he was saying
00:10:09.220 and this goes back to it takes a village the hillary clinton book on how your child
00:10:16.960 shouldn't just be raised by the parents they got to be raised by everybody and the fact that the
00:10:24.600 word itself village is a trap a trick when you travel well your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket
00:10:33.740 takes you to more than just your destination it takes you to front row views voices lost in the
00:10:40.520 music, and new shared memories.
