00:00:16.480 Cooperators. Investing in your future, together.

00:00:30.140 So, we celebrate last day of Stu.
00:00:33.060 We kind of, we get a little weepy.
00:00:37.040 Okay, even Stu does, and he's practically frickin' Spock.
00:00:40.180 But we also go back into the archives and look at best impressions Stu has ever done.
00:00:45.220 But he only did it one time.
00:00:46.920 Because my voice hurt after.
00:00:49.320 What's next for Stu?
00:00:50.600 You'll find out on today's podcast.
00:00:52.360 Also, just a final goodbye and the news of the day.
00:00:58.680 All on today's podcast.
00:01:00.480 One of the things that I've always loved most about this country is freedom.
00:01:06.240 You know, the ability to think for yourself, to do your own research, and make informed decisions about your own life, and then take responsibility for that life.
00:01:13.860 One of the most overlooked forms of that is medical freedom.
00:01:17.380 The freedom to ask questions.
00:01:19.040 The freedom to learn.
00:01:20.020 The freedom to decide what makes sense for you and your body instead of being told that you don't get a say.
00:01:25.280 That's why I respect what Jace Medical is doing.
00:01:28.500 Their doctors understand the importance of medical self-reliance.
00:01:32.380 And when it comes to ivermectin, which has been in the news constantly, for both its potential uses and how politicized it became, they actually make serious, responsible approaches to it.
00:01:41.260 And they provide six different types of ivermectin, including topicals, compounded, options, ivermectin by itself, because different situations require different tools.
00:01:51.060 And you can get it prescribed and delivered to you all from home without jumping through endless hoops or giving up control.
00:01:56.460 Just go to Jace.com.

00:02:02.440 Hello, America.
00:02:05.400 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:07.360 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:13.640 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:18.540 But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:02:21.020 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:02:33.560 This isn't a podcast.
00:02:34.900 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:38.380 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:43.480 Rate, review, share.
00:02:45.080 Together, we'll make a difference.
00:02:47.140 And thanks for standing with us.
00:02:48.400 Now let's get to work.
00:02:54.380 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:02.120 Glenn Beck.com.
00:03:02.980 There's going to be a special fourth hour today.
00:03:05.820 Q&A for Stu's last day.
00:03:08.820 Stu's leaving the program.
00:03:10.540 Is the job done?
00:03:11.820 No, but he's quitting anyway, because that's the kind of guy he is.
00:03:14.760 He's a quitter.
00:03:15.840 Why would I want to leave?
00:03:17.360 I do want to play something.
00:03:22.180 This is the one and only time Stu ever did Tim Walls, because his throat hurt afterwards.
00:03:29.320 A little baby couldn't handle it anymore. 0.83
00:03:31.680 But it was the day that Tim Walls was going to do the debate.
00:03:36.660 Here it is.
00:03:38.260 Welcome to the program.
00:03:39.800 We have Tim on the phone.
00:03:42.380 Hello, Tim.
00:03:43.260 Hello.
00:03:43.780 Hello, Glenn.
00:03:44.840 Hello.
00:03:45.420 How are you?
00:03:45.960 Hello, Glenn.
00:03:46.440 I'm Tim Walls.
00:03:48.220 Tim Walls.
00:03:49.120 Hello.
00:03:49.900 Hi.
00:03:50.260 I mean, I debate tonight.
00:03:52.140 Will you watch?
00:03:53.480 Well, we're going to be watching on Blaze TV.
00:03:56.740 You're debating tonight.
00:03:58.080 That's good.
00:03:58.740 I like fishing.
00:04:00.740 I know.
00:04:02.060 I know you like fishing.
00:04:04.420 I coach football.
00:04:06.000 Did you like the football?
00:04:07.860 Yeah, I heard you were a coach.
00:04:09.960 Did you see the football?
00:04:10.940 Oh, it's the same shape as my head.
00:04:13.280 As your what?
00:04:15.120 As my head.
00:04:16.400 As your head?
00:04:17.200 Yes, I have a head.
00:04:20.420 People say my head looks like football.
00:04:23.640 Right, okay.
00:04:24.320 I like fishing and hunting.
00:04:27.600 Right.
00:04:28.460 I know that.
00:04:29.340 Can I ask?
00:04:30.280 Can I ask you?
00:04:31.060 I thought J.D.
00:04:32.200 Vett is weird.
00:04:34.220 Do you know J.D.
00:04:35.500 Vett is weird?
00:04:36.660 I'm going to say that tonight on the debate.
00:04:39.260 J.D. Vett is weird.
00:04:42.100 I like balloons.
00:04:48.080 I may have debate tonight.
00:04:49.680 Did you know I was the man in front of Tank at Tentermint Square?
00:04:57.060 Hello?
00:04:58.500 Hello?
00:04:58.900 Hello, Glenn?
00:05:00.320 I fought in World War II.
00:05:03.840 This is Tim Walsh.
00:05:05.440 I know, Tim.
00:05:05.980 How are you still on the phone?
00:05:07.220 I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer.
00:05:10.260 Okay, because I thought we had hung up.
00:05:12.160 You had hung up and we...
00:05:12.960 What have a saying in Minnesota?
00:05:15.840 Mind your own damn business.
00:05:17.300 Okay.
00:05:18.120 All right.
00:05:18.920 It's okay.
00:05:20.440 J.D. Vett is weird.
00:05:21.760 Yeah, okay.
00:05:22.260 We're going to talk to you about the J.D. Vett's debate.
00:05:26.900 I like poodles.
00:05:28.260 You what?
00:05:29.500 Poodles.
00:05:30.460 Poodles?
00:05:30.960 I like poodles.
00:05:31.940 I like to...
00:05:32.580 Okay.
00:05:33.600 Okay.
00:05:34.320 Tim Walsh, hang up the phone, please.
00:05:36.900 Can you...
00:05:38.040 Glenn?
00:05:38.700 Yes?
00:05:39.640 I love you.
00:05:40.520 Okay.
00:05:41.080 I told him about you on the debate.
00:05:42.520 You watched the debate tonight.
00:05:43.840 All right.
00:05:44.260 Will you...
00:05:44.960 Mind your own damn business.
00:05:47.480 Okay.
00:05:47.780 These are the wheels.
00:05:48.600 Okay.
00:05:49.180 Thank you.
00:05:50.860 Thank you for calling Tim Walsh.
00:05:53.440 Can you cut him off, please?
00:05:55.160 Can you cut him off, please?
00:05:55.200 Tim Walsh.
00:05:56.040 Tim Walsh.
00:05:56.400 Tim Walsh.
00:05:57.660 Tim Walsh.
00:05:58.240 Tim Walsh.
00:06:00.340 Oh, man.
00:06:01.560 How do we get paid for this?
00:06:03.020 I don't...
00:06:03.560 I have no understanding.
00:06:08.920 That's the best impression I ever...
00:06:11.300 We're going to have it for a while.
00:06:13.020 It's actually been in development for a while since I'm really thinking about it.
00:06:15.960 I think I've nailed it.
00:06:16.880 I think you did that.
00:06:21.100 I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference?
00:06:26.660 Any idea?
00:06:29.600 We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV.
00:06:36.160 Tim Walsh may have to stand by and come on the program tonight, so you don't want to miss that.
00:06:42.760 This is the only time.
00:06:44.500 I've been calling on the phone.
00:06:46.880 This is the only time that Tim Walsh ever appeared on the program because Stu finished it.
00:06:55.020 He was like, ow, my throat really hurts.
00:06:58.080 And I'm like, sacrifice for comedy, man.
00:07:02.740 It's amazing that I would ever leave a job that would pay me to do that.
00:07:07.060 It doesn't make any sense at all.
00:07:10.100 But yeah, I blew my voice out after that.
00:07:12.620 The whole rest of the day.
00:07:14.780 I think that might have not been the actual what you were doing as much as the hate that came with that.
00:07:21.620 Yes.
00:07:22.100 Yes.
00:07:22.400 It was the pure Tim Walsh concentrated hatred that was associated with that particular voice.
00:07:29.440 Oh, what a day.
00:07:30.520 So, Stu, you are leaving and you haven't announced to anybody yet what you're doing.
00:07:36.640 So can you announce?
00:07:37.660 Can you tell us, please?
00:07:38.960 Yeah, we can talk about it.
00:07:40.280 So, you know, it's been something that's a little bit different than what we've been doing for the last 28 years together, but actually also close as well.
00:07:49.940 Parts of the stuff that we've been doing here for a long time.
00:07:52.740 You know, one of my roles here in the program has kind of been chief data nerd, a guy who, you know, looks at the elections and tries to predict the outcomes to them and analyzes all that stuff.
00:08:04.020 And so I'm starting a new company that is revolving in the world of prediction markets.
00:08:09.140 If you don't know what they are, they've kind of only become widespread over the past year or so.
00:08:14.000 But basically, you can kind of look and invest on whether anything is going to happen, yes or no.
00:08:20.900 A simple question, will this happen or not, yes or no, and you predict the outcome.
00:08:26.420 And if you're correct, you can profit off of that information.
00:08:30.180 Wait, wait, wait.
00:08:31.020 So are you – hold it just a second.
00:08:32.540 Are you analyzing those sites or are you starting – are you falling in with a mob?
00:08:39.440 I – I'm – look, if the mob has money they want to hand me for this operation, I'm interested.
00:08:46.100 I'll listen to you.
00:08:47.340 But no, this is like – you know, the company is going to be doing a few different things.
00:08:51.080 But the one that's probably interesting to the audience is we're going to have a show.
00:08:55.140 It's going to be called Predictable with Stubergeer.
00:08:58.220 You can go check it out now.
00:08:59.500 It's at predictableshow.com.
00:09:01.960 And, you know, there you can –
00:09:03.640 By the way, I trademarked your name, so.
00:09:05.760 Oh, right.
00:09:06.300 So I can't even use my own name.
00:09:07.420 You have to name it something else.
00:09:08.080 Oh, wow.
00:09:10.440 Thank you.
00:09:12.060 I appreciate that.
00:09:13.100 You've always been a helper, Glenn.
00:09:14.540 He has.
00:09:15.040 That's really nice.
00:09:15.680 I know.
00:09:16.220 It's just a licensing fee.
00:09:17.560 He'll let me use it as long as I just pay him constantly.
00:09:23.080 Hey, two can play the mob thing, okay?
00:09:25.400 That's true.
00:09:26.900 I can be shaken down with the best of them.
00:09:29.200 That's right.
00:09:29.720 But the show is going to analyze the news, the things that we talk about every day, kind
00:09:33.120 of a special focus on the elections, considering we're going into election time.
00:09:36.520 And that's been something somewhat of an expertise of mine for a while.
00:09:40.540 And we're going to be talking about all these news events as they relate to these prediction
00:09:45.020 markets.
00:09:46.120 And, you know, I think it really gives – you know, the free market that we talk about all
00:09:50.320 the time, that makes the world a better place, that improves the world, that does so many
00:09:53.860 amazing things can be applied here as sort of an engine to find the truth.
00:09:59.960 You know, the media is obviously going down the wrong road with this.
00:10:02.740 They're there.
00:10:03.120 They're incentivized to lie to you.
00:10:04.640 They want you to go the total opposite direction.
00:10:07.580 They're trying to move you to get to the right side of history all the time.
00:10:11.220 I mean, we're in a time where a Supreme Court justice can't answer a question about what
00:10:17.460 a woman is. 1.00
00:10:19.060 They don't want to tell you the truth.
00:10:21.600 And what I love about prediction markets, and it's a really unique thing with them, is
00:10:26.220 you have to put your money where your mouth is.
00:10:30.140 These are – you're betting, you're investing with your own real money, and people don't
00:10:36.840 lie when that is on the line.
00:10:38.900 They'll lie to you on television.
00:10:40.700 They won't lie to you there.
00:10:41.900 We've always thought this was the right thing.
00:10:44.540 I mean, remember, DARPA did this right after 9-11, and they said, we're going to go to the
00:10:49.780 Five Eyes and to people who study terrorism, and we're going to let them invest in a kind
00:10:56.140 of a stock market, if you will, of where do they think the most likely terrorist attacks
00:11:01.900 are going to come from?
00:11:02.800 How are they going to do it?
00:11:04.120 And it was stopped because everybody was like, that's an outrage.
00:11:09.000 No, no, that is a very good way.
00:11:10.960 Get people to put their money on where are the weaknesses?
00:11:14.720 Where do they see things?
00:11:17.040 I just think that is the way to find out how people really feel.
00:11:22.340 Yeah.
00:11:22.780 And the elections are a really good example of this, right?
00:11:25.340 You have the media telling you who they want to win.
00:11:28.340 They're constantly pushing one way or the other.
00:11:31.640 You've got the campaigns that are lying to you about whether they're going to win or not.
00:11:37.240 You also have a lot of people who are telling you exactly what you want to hear about the
00:11:41.600 election.
00:11:41.980 Your guy's going to win.
00:11:42.720 Don't worry about it.
00:11:44.560 I want what's actually going to happen.
00:11:46.340 I want the truth.
00:11:47.420 And these markets can really do damage in that world.
00:11:52.040 They can cut through the punditry, which I really, really like in today's world.
00:11:56.220 I think it's something, a really important additional layer that we don't have really
00:11:59.660 in our coverage right now.
00:12:01.260 So that is a big part of it.
00:12:03.040 It's at predictableshow.com.
00:12:04.540 Please go there.
00:12:05.220 If you, by the way, are going to, if you go there, put your email address in for free,
00:12:10.480 you'll get a 2026 Senate preview.
00:12:13.600 We're going to give you the kind of the outline of as to what the Senate race is going to look
00:12:17.700 like in 2026, kind of a starting point for everyone to be able to understand what we are
00:12:22.540 facing here in the next few months, which are going to be pretty intense.
00:12:25.920 So go there and put your email address in.
00:12:28.180 That's going to be part of it.
00:12:29.260 Now, I also will say another interesting layer, you know, prediction markets aren't perfect.
00:12:33.720 They don't always have the right answers.
00:12:36.060 And that's good because when they have the wrong answers, you are able to profit off of this.
00:12:41.620 And this is something that I have been doing on, you know, behind the scenes on, you know,
00:12:46.720 my own dime for a long time, over a decade now, been using prediction markets myself,
00:12:52.560 paid for a lot of vacations over the years because of it.
00:12:55.540 And it's been really, really good.
00:12:56.840 And I think it's a much more accessible way for people to, to invest, right?
00:13:02.620 Like you can go in and try to predict what a stock's going to do.
00:13:06.920 It's a great invest.
00:13:08.460 It's a great way to, it's gambling.
00:13:10.820 It is not gambling.
00:13:12.940 Glenn, I have gambled.
00:13:13.980 I'm sorry.
00:13:14.520 No, you're right.
00:13:15.280 You're right.
00:13:15.780 It is not.
00:13:16.740 It is legally not gambling.
00:13:18.740 First of all, you are accurate.
00:13:20.900 Secondly, I have gambled a decent amount of my life.
00:13:24.300 I am not against gambling.
00:13:26.000 I've gone to Vegas.
00:13:27.100 I'll place a sports bet here and there.
00:13:29.360 You know what happens when I do that, Glenn?
00:13:31.180 I lose over and over and over again.
00:13:34.780 I know.
00:13:35.160 I really do think there's something different.
00:13:38.060 It's not chance.
00:13:39.020 Yeah, this is not chance.
00:13:39.820 People know, this audience is obsessed with knowing what's going on in the world.
00:13:45.660 They sit here and they listen to this stupid show and your nonsensical rantings just to
00:13:51.960 get to one fact every once in a while.
00:13:54.040 They love the country.
00:13:55.200 They love the truth.
00:13:56.680 They know about these things.
00:13:58.680 If you know your senator in your state and he always folds on a big vote and everyone's
00:14:04.500 telling you he's going to vote one way and you know he's going to fold.
00:14:07.460 We all say these things all the time.
00:14:09.180 This guy is going to fold.
00:14:10.620 You go on the prediction market and you say, hey, there's an 80% chance he's voting one
00:14:14.160 way.
00:14:14.400 You know he's going to fold on that.
00:14:16.020 There's real opportunity there.
00:14:17.540 You know, it's different than like you put money into a stock.
00:14:21.200 What are you doing?
00:14:22.460 You are trying to analyze what some Chinese supply chain is doing.
00:14:28.720 What, you know, what is going on internally in the country or internally inside of the
00:14:34.600 company?
00:14:35.220 Is the CEO going to hook up with some random person at a Coldplay concert and blow the stock
00:14:40.040 up?
00:14:40.180 You have no idea what's going on with all this stuff.
00:14:42.800 There's so many factors.
00:14:44.720 This is will something happen?
00:14:47.160 Yes or no.
00:14:48.300 That's what it is.
00:14:49.340 And there's a definitive end to it.
00:14:51.560 You can actually look at these things and do really well.
00:14:55.080 I've been able to do really, really well, particularly on the elections.
00:14:57.780 And that's going to be kind of our main focus.
00:14:59.400 But we're going to look at culture and all these other things as well.
00:15:02.320 Bring on like tons of, you know, the best traders in the world and the biggest experts
00:15:06.280 to kind of get you to look for an edge here as well.
00:15:09.120 Yeah, that makes sense.
00:15:10.660 That's a good word for you to use.
00:15:11.760 Not with a T, a D, a traders. 0.78
00:15:13.560 So anyway, it's, of course, it's predictable, this show.com, something like that.
00:15:20.540 Predictableshow.com.
00:15:21.480 Thank you.
00:15:22.480 And Stu is going to be joining us from time to time because there is a lot.
00:15:26.060 I really believe in the prediction markets like this.
00:15:28.260 I think that there is a lot of information to be.
00:15:30.800 And when Stu told me this, I was prepared to go, don't go, don't go.
00:15:33.980 You fail at everything you try.
00:15:35.220 Yeah, please don't go.
00:15:36.020 Thank you.
00:15:36.340 Please, just listen to me.
00:15:38.180 And he told me, and I was like, you know, that is absolutely, this is you.
00:15:46.260 It's 100% you.
00:15:47.680 It's still going to fail like a miserable.
00:15:49.380 But, you know, it's absolutely what Stu should be doing.
00:15:53.620 And I'm actually thrilled about it.
00:15:58.900 So you're not really leaving to sell facial cream?
00:16:02.960 Because that's what I heard it was.
00:16:04.080 A lot of people guessed that it was facial cream or O'Reilly were going to sell facial cream.
00:16:07.800 I will tell you, may I say, this announcement has just changed in the last hour and a half because I know what he was doing beforehand.
00:16:16.360 And now that Don Lemon has been arrested, he's like, well, now I can't go produce that show.
00:16:21.400 That was on the table.
00:16:23.040 I considered it highly.
00:16:23.980 Let me just say it one more time here, Glenn.
00:16:27.320 It's predictableshow.com.
00:16:29.360 Even if you don't care about prediction markets, the election analysis you're going to get there, you're really going to love.
00:16:34.080 It's really good.
00:16:34.380 So go there, sign up.
00:16:35.380 You'll get that free report on the Senate.
00:16:37.240 And then also, a lot of people were asking what's going on with Blaze TV.
00:16:40.360 I'm going to be doing Stood as America, a new episode on Monday.
00:16:43.420 So, you know, if you want to hear me rant about everything I've been ranting about over the years, I will be over there on Blaze TV.
00:16:48.820 We're not letting you down on the Blaze TV family.
00:16:51.020 So join us on Stood as America.
00:16:52.900 Of course, it's all on YouTube.
00:16:54.160 If you just go to YouTube.com slash Stood as America, the show Predictable will eventually be there as well.
00:16:59.240 So thanks so much for – and I've got to say, too, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this.
00:17:04.200 Please, sir, God, let it end.
00:17:06.200 Glenn's been very cool and very supportive about all of this.
00:17:08.620 Okay, I'm done.
00:17:10.120 I'm done.
00:17:11.160 That's all I have to say about you.
00:17:12.960 Thank you.
00:17:13.740 All right, good.
00:17:14.760 All right.
00:17:15.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:17.880 So the staff has put together a little montage that none of us have heard yet.
00:17:25.340 It just kind of looks back on all of the years that Stu has been on this program, some of the personal things and some of the funniest things on the program.
00:17:33.280 So roll the montage, please.
00:17:37.540 Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years.
00:17:43.740 And Stu has, for a long time, wanted to do his own thing.
00:17:47.440 And I appreciate that.
00:17:48.980 And I appreciate all of the many, many years.
00:17:52.820 I'm looking at your resume here.
00:17:54.620 Then you went to the Glenn Beck Program, where you were the co-host EP, executive producer.
00:18:01.580 Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Breguier.
00:18:05.820 Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Breguier.
00:18:09.520 Glenn, how are you this morning?
00:18:10.780 Oh, I'm good. I'm good.
00:18:11.920 Let me say hello to our executive producer.
00:18:14.540 That is Stu Breguier.
00:18:16.060 Hello, Stu. How are you?
00:18:17.600 Glenn, how are you?
00:18:18.660 I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did.
00:18:21.240 How old were you when we met?
00:18:22.640 I was, let's see, 20?
00:18:27.700 20 years old.
00:18:28.600 Yeah.
00:18:29.160 And what was your impression of me?
00:18:33.740 Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
00:18:40.920 I mean, I grew up in Connecticut.
00:18:42.020 So I knew you from your morning show at KC 101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically.
00:18:48.980 And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning.
00:18:51.060 And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry.
00:18:55.500 Is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career.
00:19:01.720 Like the worst possible time.
00:19:04.520 Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented.
00:19:08.800 But also, you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest.
00:19:13.140 And then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
00:19:15.880 Hello, Stu.
00:19:16.700 How are you, Glenn?
00:19:19.240 I'm...
00:19:19.500 Hello, Stu.
00:19:22.180 How are you?
00:19:22.640 That's a great question, Glenn.
00:19:24.720 No idea.
00:19:26.620 That's my new position on that question.
00:19:28.660 I have no freaking idea.
00:19:29.720 And he has told me what he was, what he's planning on doing.
00:19:32.680 And I actually think it's a really good idea.
00:19:36.000 And so I fully support it.
00:19:37.800 I'm just sad that it's going to bring you further away from me.
00:19:41.600 You won't see each other every day, but hopefully you'll be bringing some of this stuff onto the show.
00:19:45.700 And I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you.
00:19:52.220 You know, a big part of my job and my career has been trying to execute your vision.
00:19:57.040 Like what you want to do, what you think is the most important.
00:19:59.680 I said this morning, I said we were in this meeting and I said,
00:20:02.000 we've got to get Stu into a numbers costume.
00:20:05.160 And, you know, I thought of this big foam thing where his face would be inside the number six or something.
00:20:10.760 But did you stop and think at any time, why did I say we've got to get Stu in a numbers costume?
00:20:16.780 Stu is here to break down some numbers.
00:20:18.740 He's the executive producer of the radio show.
00:20:20.520 And, Stu, I assume that the number two plays a role.
00:20:27.040 Because last night, one didn't really stand for anything.
00:20:30.240 You were very clear after the show that you wanted the number costume to make sense.
00:20:33.700 There's just nobody better as you live stats.
00:20:38.660 Stu has the election by the numbers.
00:20:40.620 Yeah, national polls, we're showing a definite tightening.
00:20:43.860 Stu, you're a numbers guy.
00:20:46.800 Yes.
00:20:47.380 Geek. I mean, I'm a poll geek.
00:20:48.840 Yeah, you're a total geek.
00:20:49.880 Stu's here to do the math.
00:20:51.400 We also have some of the latest poll results that are in.
00:20:55.500 What's the biggest fight we've ever had?
00:20:57.220 I mean, there haven't been many.
00:20:58.780 Isn't that what I said?
00:21:01.120 That's what I just quoted you.
00:21:02.720 Isn't that what I just said?
00:21:03.660 That's what I said.
00:21:04.800 Like you said.
00:21:06.000 That's what I was indicating.
00:21:07.140 Yes, that you said it.
00:21:08.340 That's why I said like you said.
00:21:10.160 Do you want to bring in your firearms?
00:21:11.240 Oh, I'll bring in my firearms, too.
00:21:13.940 I'm not trying to start a gun battle here.
00:21:15.980 You seem to be a little on edge.
00:21:19.180 You're wearing your most obnoxious Eagles sweatshirt.
00:21:22.580 That's right.
00:21:23.120 What's wrong with you still backing the Eagles?
00:21:25.360 They're America's team.
00:21:27.060 Yeah.
00:21:27.460 You got a friggin' Eagle.
00:21:28.700 And I knew there was something special about what we were doing.
00:21:31.860 J.D. Vance is weird.
00:21:34.240 Heck, do you know that J.D. Vance is weird?
00:21:36.940 I'm going to say that tonight on the debate stage.
00:21:39.720 J.D. Vance is weird.
00:21:42.180 I like balloons.
00:21:43.460 We have Brittany on the phone.
00:21:50.060 Hello, Brittany.
00:21:50.500 Are you going to shut the border down now?
00:21:52.560 Let me ask you this.
00:21:53.240 What about brunch?
00:21:54.360 Thank you for being my friend.
00:21:56.280 And thank you for being so loyal to me.
00:22:00.480 And you have changed my life.
00:22:03.360 And I truly thank you for that, you quitter.
00:22:08.140 And so today, I mean, we're not really saying goodbye to Stu because, I mean, if history teaches us anything, it's that goodbyes with Stu's are more a little like intermissions.
00:22:24.740 You know, he leaves, he fails.
00:22:26.360 It's kind of a little more like, hey, we'll see you after the snack bar situation.
00:22:30.060 You know what I mean?
00:22:30.440 I don't know where that's coming from.
00:22:32.480 Stu started as an intern, which means at one point in his life, he fetched coffee and thought, you know, I might be able to do better than this.
00:22:42.520 And to his credit, he did.
00:22:45.380 He was producer, executive producer, head writer of the program, which is not really a career ladder.
00:22:52.780 That's more of like a hostile takeover, you know, conducted with sarcasm and impeccable timing.
00:23:00.980 And he has been with me for 28 years, which is longer than most Hollywood marriages, longer than both of our marriages, longer than most governments last.
00:23:13.180 Longer than the average Eagle Super Bowl window, you know.
00:23:16.960 And here we are.
00:23:18.240 Here we are again because Stu is leaving again.
00:23:22.380 I just want to let, I mean, just let's be clear.
00:23:24.560 He left this show once to start his own show and it failed.
00:23:28.620 And spectacularly, I mean, none of this is true.
00:23:31.820 Failure is, the failure is real.
00:23:34.080 I mean, it wasn't a dignified creative differences kind of failure.
00:23:38.700 Failure, this was like come crawling back like a Vietnam vet looking for his old platoon kind of failure, you know. 0.89
00:23:45.340 I don't even know.
00:23:45.920 And I welcome him back.
00:23:47.580 I welcomed him back because that's what family does, you know what I mean?
00:23:50.900 It was also the type of failure where I took over for you and left with higher ratings.
00:23:55.260 That's the type of failure it was, by the way, just so you're aware.
00:23:59.860 Right before, please, let me get this out or I'll cry.
00:24:03.940 Right before syndication, right before syndication, you know, the promised land, Stu almost left again.
00:24:10.360 But this time he saved because, you know, he stayed because he was like, wow, that could make me a lot of money.
00:24:14.500 And so he did stay, which brings us to today where Stu is leaving us one more time.
00:24:21.660 Somehow or another, convinced that this time will be different.
00:24:25.060 Why?
00:24:25.900 I don't know.
00:24:26.480 Because this time he's doing a show about odds.
00:24:29.920 Odds.
00:24:30.820 Hosted by a man who has repeatedly bet against his own track record.
00:24:34.560 You see what I'm saying here?
00:24:35.820 A man who looks at a lifetime of data and says, yeah, but this time I kind of feel lucky.
00:24:39.600 I feel lucky.
00:24:40.660 I really do.
00:24:41.360 So, so, so we wish him all of the best on the, on that.
00:24:47.500 Feels like it.
00:24:48.460 And by the way, no, no, I mean, I, I sincerely, I sincerely, anyway, so he's leaving again.
00:24:59.220 And, and one of Stu's superpowers, and this is honest, is not comedic timing, although he's got the, some of the best comedic timing.
00:25:09.220 It's emotional sabotage timing.
00:25:12.200 Um, you know, you can guarantee if I share the, I mean, the reason why I'm not sharing anything personal, spiritual, vulnerable is because that's when Stu strikes.
00:25:23.780 Okay.
00:25:24.420 He's got this, I mean, not with a thoughtful question, not with empathy.
00:25:28.760 Usually it's with a fat joke, sometimes brilliant, sometimes a little lazy, but it's always perfectly timed and devastating.
00:25:38.560 And that, I mean, I could be talking about God and, and Stu's like, yeah, but have you considered salads?
00:25:43.940 Uh, and somehow or another it works.
00:25:46.400 I mean, it's a gift.
00:25:47.340 It's a gift.
00:25:49.220 Um, but, uh, he, um, one of the things we're going to miss, and a lot of people are on the phone saying that, you know, they remember all of the stuff with Super Bowls and everything else and football Fridays.
00:25:58.840 Um, and those, that's where you'll find his real loyalties.
00:26:01.600 Stu loves three things in the world.
00:26:03.040 Philadelphia Eagles, apparently quitting and Philadelphia Eagles.
00:26:07.880 Um, he loves the Eagles more than his wife and children, which is impressive because I'm told by Stu's new PR firm that they apparently still love him a lot.
00:26:17.760 Wow.
00:26:18.320 Um, but, uh, that's what, I mean, that's just what I heard.
00:26:22.700 Um, but, uh, I wanted to give you something, Stu, because, you know, you didn't earn the car.
00:26:29.060 That was for somebody who made it 30 years.
00:26:31.300 Yeah.
00:26:31.840 Yeah.
00:26:32.080 No, you've told me that multiple times.
00:26:33.800 I wanted to get you something, um, because honestly, um, you're one of my best friends.
00:26:53.580 You are indispensable, irreplaceable on and off the air.
00:26:59.980 Um, you've made this show funnier and smarter and sharper.
00:27:07.020 Um, you have made me a better man.
00:27:11.160 Uh, and, uh, and I'm going to miss you.
00:27:16.760 Interns don't last 27 years and, uh, quitters don't get welcome back.
00:27:22.740 Um, you'd be welcome back anytime.
00:27:25.760 Um, and failures don't leave legacies, which you have left.
00:27:29.980 Even though the odds may not be in your favor on the, you know, I mean, the show will fail.
00:27:39.200 We all know it.
00:27:39.900 And then you'll be back and I'll leave the lights on.
00:27:43.320 Um, but I, I wanted to give you a gift.
00:27:45.700 Uh, so if you just, I think it should be there by you.
00:27:48.760 Um, I want to give you a gift.
00:27:50.280 Um, and, uh, just say thank you for the best broadcast experience and the best years of my life.
00:28:19.240 Thank you.
00:28:22.120 Thank you, Glenn.
00:28:22.780 So open up your stupid.
00:28:24.260 Oh, man.
00:28:25.880 Present.
00:28:35.400 This is going to be something like.
00:28:39.280 What?
00:28:40.260 I don't know.
00:28:40.920 What is your prediction?
00:28:42.260 What's your prediction?
00:28:43.540 I mean, my first guess was human waste.
00:28:45.420 I thought it might just be a box of human waste.
00:28:47.960 Um, but, uh, I don't know what it is.
00:28:53.080 Let's see.
00:28:54.920 Don't know how to open it apparently either.
00:29:00.320 Wow.
00:29:00.780 It's a watch.
00:29:01.460 So it is a, it is a Breitling, uh, super chron, um, chronomat.
00:29:11.160 There are only 104 of these made.
00:29:13.820 They're made for the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:29:16.400 If you take it out and look on the backside, it has the NFL logo and the Eagles in the front of the face.
00:29:24.080 So it's a commemorative limited edition watch just for the Eagles.
00:29:29.760 Oh, there were more of them, but the Eagles threw them out and were hitting, pelting Santa with them.
00:29:35.460 So there's only 104 of them left, but Glenn, this is unbelievable.
00:29:42.400 I just wanted to thank you.
00:29:44.840 Oh my God.
00:29:47.220 For the time we've had together.
00:29:51.720 Thank you, Glenn.
00:29:52.640 This is an incredible gift.
00:29:54.240 And, uh, I, you know, I can't thank you enough for everything.
00:30:00.120 Um, I don't want to, uh, become a sobbing mess.
00:30:05.280 So I'm going to, I'm going to stop, but let's go into a commercial, shall we?
00:30:10.640 That's awesome.
00:30:11.520 Thank you, Glenn.
00:30:14.300 Yes.
00:30:14.920 You gave me a present.
00:30:16.000 I actually got you a little something as well.
00:30:18.360 Now I do not have, uh, the, uh, you know, the ability maybe to select an amazing watch like you gave me, but I thought I got something that I thought you'd appreciate.
00:30:29.560 Um, and Pat has it here.
00:30:31.480 It's, uh, it's wrapped here.
00:30:33.260 Maybe show over here.
00:30:34.280 Okay.
00:30:34.900 So this is, this is, uh, something I think you'll like, um, I, you know, again, the only thing I know maybe more than you is sports.
00:30:42.100 So I thought I could get you something cool, uh, related to your favorite player, uh, Patrick Mahomes.
00:30:48.080 Uh, so, uh, uh, uh, signed, uh, uh, uh, look at that.
00:30:55.860 Look at that right there.
00:30:56.820 Oh, look at that.
00:30:58.220 That's incredible.
00:30:59.400 Look at that.
00:30:59.860 Patrick Mahomes signed photo.
00:31:02.480 Framed.
00:31:03.800 See him?
00:31:04.360 See him there, Pat?
00:31:04.840 Can you point to him?
00:31:05.660 Sure.
00:31:05.840 Can you point to him?
00:31:06.580 Right there.
00:31:07.040 Yeah, that's it.
00:31:07.960 He's right there.
00:31:08.680 Right there.
00:31:09.500 Now it is signed by Cooper DeGene after the pick six in the Super Bowl, but you can see Patrick Mahomes.
00:31:15.320 You can see Patrick Mahomes.
00:31:16.500 Right there.
00:31:17.300 Right there.
00:31:18.180 And, you know, I.
00:31:18.980 Front.
00:31:19.680 And not exactly center, but right in the front.
00:31:21.680 Yeah.
00:31:21.860 He's a little off to the short of, a little blurry, um, but he is in the picture.
00:31:26.000 On Monday, on Monday, uh, on Monday as, um, you know, for people who are signing up for
00:31:32.120 the torch, somebody's going to win an amazing picture of the Philadelphia Eagles signed by
00:31:39.780 somebody.
00:31:42.820 You're welcome, Glenn.
00:31:44.120 I hope you appreciated that.
00:31:46.180 Thank you.
00:31:46.720 Thank you.
00:31:47.260 Um, I, uh, can't, you know, wow.
00:31:49.860 This is incredible.
00:31:50.480 You know, it's, you know, what's weird is, uh, you know what this weekend is?
00:31:55.880 This is something we have tried to erase from everything that we could ever, we ever knew
00:32:01.840 existed.
00:32:02.840 What do you mean?
00:32:03.860 Let me just hold these up.
00:32:05.940 This weekend is Gasparilla weekend.
00:32:08.740 Oh my gosh.
00:32:09.700 In Tampa, Florida.
00:32:10.900 We started in Tampa and true story is a parade.
00:32:15.360 It's a crazy parade.
00:32:16.760 Crazy.
00:32:17.260 It's like Mardi Gras.
00:32:18.420 Crazy.
00:32:18.900 And the station asked us, WFLA asked us if we could host it.
00:32:23.800 And Jeffy was there.
00:32:25.840 Stu was there.
00:32:26.540 I was there.
00:32:26.940 And we did not want to host it.
00:32:28.700 We were like, no, I don't want to host this thing.
00:32:30.920 And so they made us host it.
00:32:32.540 And so we had a plan.
00:32:33.820 We are going to make the most offensive broadcast that we could possibly come up with.
00:32:39.180 And so we planned, like we, we went all the way.
00:32:43.600 We've tried, we've destroyed all of these tapes.
00:32:45.920 Um, but we've made, we made it, we were rating the cheerleaders of the high school bands.
00:32:52.920 And when you say fat ones in this, you, you and Jeffy, uh, of course, I mean, it was, it
00:32:59.540 was, it was horrific and we knew it and it was hysterical, but horrific, but we wanted
00:33:05.540 to make sure that they never asked us again.
00:33:07.900 Okay.
00:33:08.360 That was a mistake.
00:33:09.120 The exact opposite happened.
00:33:10.520 It became like a really big deal.
00:33:12.380 And then they asked us every year and thank God for syndication.
00:33:16.020 Cause I was like, I can't do that anymore.
00:33:17.960 I can't do that anymore.
00:33:19.160 It was horrendous, but this is the anniversary.
00:33:22.880 This is the weekend of Gasparilla in Tampa.
00:33:25.240 Jeffy joins us here, by the way.
00:33:26.880 Yeah.
00:33:27.320 I know he changed the subject to Gasparilla.
00:33:29.200 I came in, he was giving away presents.
00:33:30.840 I thought I'd be.
00:33:33.800 Jeffy, I have one for you.
00:33:35.500 It's a signed picture of somebody in the end zone with Patrick Mahomes in the background.
00:33:43.140 Wow.
00:33:43.500 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:54.120 Coming up in just a few minutes after the radio broadcast, we're going online at glennbeck.com
00:33:59.720 and everywhere else.
00:34:02.080 And you'll be able to watch a Q and a for Stu's last day.
00:34:07.780 Today is Stu's last broadcast with me.
00:34:10.280 He's been with me since 1997.
00:34:11.900 Um, and, uh, it's been a remarkable run.
00:34:16.400 And, um, I know very little about Stu, honestly, because he's a lot like Spock.
00:34:22.080 Um, he doesn't share emotions.
00:34:24.180 Uh, we were joking in studio earlier today that, uh, uh, if he, if he died, we all probably
00:34:32.060 wouldn't know for maybe two years after he's dead.
00:34:35.740 Well, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you after I was dead.
00:34:38.720 He does not open up emotionally.
00:34:40.320 So this is going to be fun to watch because he asked for, uh, some time.
00:34:45.380 He said he wanted to, Glenn, can I have just a few minutes just to talk to the audience?
00:34:48.900 And I said, sure.
00:34:51.000 So go ahead, Stu.
00:34:52.940 We're listening.
00:34:54.220 Thank you, Glenn.
00:34:54.940 I appreciate that.
00:34:56.360 Uh, I will say, despite you, this has been a great time, uh, working on this particular
00:35:00.740 program, uh, 28 years, it has been my entire professional career.
00:35:10.140 Um, oh, this is going to suck.
00:35:14.080 Uh, sorry about all this people, but, uh, I really can't picture, uh, adult life without
00:35:23.420 doing the show.
00:35:24.060 I have no experience as an adult, not doing the show.
00:35:29.320 And, uh, it's weird to think about it that way.
00:35:31.880 My wife is standing in the corner and, uh, Glenn outranks her when it comes to time that
00:35:38.500 I've even known them, which is a scary thing to think about.
00:35:42.540 Uh, when I first met Glenn, I was hanging up balloons.
00:35:45.680 That was my job.
00:35:47.760 Balloons.
00:35:48.160 And, you know, Glenn, and I'm not talking to Glenn.
00:35:52.880 I want to make sure this is clear.
00:35:54.460 I'm talking to the audience, not even thinking about Glenn right now, but I am telling you
00:35:58.080 a story, which is Glenn, you know, took me from hanging balloons and gave me an entire
00:36:06.140 career.
00:36:10.220 He taught me everything I know and he had nothing to gain from it at all.
00:36:14.900 Well, I did get him a lot of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, but outside of that, he
00:36:20.640 had nothing to gain from it.
00:36:23.100 I had no, uh, no experience in this industry at all.
00:36:28.240 And he was the biggest, you know, personality in the entire state.
00:36:32.540 He had no reason to help me with this stuff.
00:36:34.800 He took me from, you know, promotions to an intern, to a producer, to an executive producer,
00:36:40.500 to a co-host, from a smaller market, to a larger market, to a national show, to national
00:36:48.020 television, to one of the first ever streaming networks, from an event at a car dealership
00:36:54.140 with literally zero attendees, to the mall in Washington, D.C. with 500,000.
00:37:00.500 You know, you might not know this, but Glenn has been incredibly generous the entire time
00:37:10.860 we've worked together.
00:37:13.060 And he was equally generous as we tried to, you know, figure out whether we were going
00:37:16.820 to continue to do the show.
00:37:18.360 And in the end, I feel like he really needs someone who's 100% devoted to the really cool
00:37:24.220 things he's doing on Torch.
00:37:26.420 It's an amazing project and he's got amazing people working on it.
00:37:30.300 There's a great staff here.
00:37:33.220 And, you know, I'm going to go do my thing at predictableshow.com.
00:37:39.800 So please join us, but please join Glenn at glenbeck.com too.
00:37:43.480 There's a lot you're going to be excited about coming up.
00:37:46.920 But I just want you, the audience, to know that I am endlessly grateful to Glenn.
00:37:56.420 And for everything he's done for my career, for my family, and for me, he is a great friend.
00:38:09.260 And my decision to go, you know, work with a washed up DJ whose career was just over all 0.92
00:38:21.420 those years ago will always be the best decision of my entire professional life.
00:38:27.280 And I, you know, I will acknowledge that there are a few people out there, I've noticed this
00:38:36.000 occasionally, who don't appreciate Glenn quite the same way that I do.
00:38:43.160 You may have noticed a mildly negative statement made about him in the media from time to time,
00:38:51.040 from politicians, from other commentators, and I will say while Glenn has been very successful
00:38:58.240 and has been rewarded with many, many accolades he does not deserve.
00:39:03.620 I want you in the audience to know the truth that he has sacrificed an incredible amount
00:39:10.440 that he will never tell you about.
00:39:12.460 He's done all of this because he has a true desire to make this country a better place.
00:39:25.420 This is earnest.
00:39:28.580 Many people have made fun of him over the years because of it.
00:39:33.560 But Glenn is really, truly a man who believes in the American people and this country.
00:39:39.240 You might doubt this, you might think that I'm lying, you might think that this is just
00:39:48.180 something I'm saying because he gave me a really cool watch.
00:39:52.740 But if you doubt it, I want you to be aware that you are wrong and you are dumb and shut up.
00:40:03.140 I want to swear at you, but I will not.
00:40:04.960 I will not blow a no-swear streak on the last day I'm on the air, I promise you, stations.
00:40:12.260 I also, I want to just say that that's my friend you're talking about when you say those things about him.
00:40:23.000 And it's not cool.
00:40:24.780 And he's taken a beating for a long time.
00:40:27.260 And he's pushed through it.
00:40:28.640 And he survived a lot of things that you'll never know about and he will never tell you about.
00:40:32.300 But I hope, I hope as we go on here, and I'm no longer on the show, that you really do appreciate it.
00:40:38.940 I hope you appreciate everything he's done.
00:40:42.820 On the other side of this, I want to thank you, the audience of the show.
00:40:47.740 You are the greatest audience that has ever been assembled.
00:40:50.620 Whenever we have an event and you're here and we get together in person, a lot of you say something like, you know, I feel like I know you guys.
00:41:01.400 You know, it's so weird because, you know, you guys are all talking.
00:41:05.800 We know you.
00:41:07.260 And then on the other side of this, like, you don't know me at all.
00:41:11.200 And it is a weird dynamic.
00:41:12.520 It really is a strange thing.
00:41:14.580 Some of that's true.
00:41:15.360 I mean, most of you that will never meet, most of you will never call, most of you will never send a message on social media or anything like that.
00:41:23.600 You'll hear our voice and it kind of feels like a one-way relationship.
00:41:29.600 But I want to give you a little bit of perspective from my side after 28 years.
00:41:35.240 The truth of all of this is that you mean way more to us than we mean to you.
00:41:48.680 I mean, if we're extraordinarily lucky, maybe we say something that makes you laugh or maybe we say something that helps you with a little ammunition and an argument with one of your stupid friends.
00:41:59.280 You know, maybe you get a little perspective from us for, you know, once in a while.
00:42:08.080 But you might not know this, but you've changed my life completely.
00:42:12.700 You've changed my family's life.
00:42:14.580 Every time I've interacted with you, almost without fail, you've been kind and smart and funny and willing to do anything for this country to make it a better place for everyone, including my children.
00:42:33.460 You know, think about this.
00:42:35.580 Sometimes they're going to be around living in this country that you're spending all this time and effort trying to save.
00:42:42.420 And it means an incredible amount to me.
00:42:46.340 And it's also not an exaggeration that you have literally saved tens of thousands of lives.
00:42:54.360 And think about that.
00:42:55.760 That sounds like such a ridiculous thing to say about a radio audience.
00:43:00.120 You have saved tens of thousands of lives.
00:43:03.780 People in Afghanistan running from the Taliban.
00:43:06.940 People who had their lives completely destroyed because of a hurricane or a tornado.
00:43:13.740 A woman in Canada who was on the verge of willingly committing suicide.
00:43:20.940 We told you that story and you stepped up and you saved her life.
00:43:26.820 You've done it every single time we've asked.
00:43:35.000 It's incredible.
00:43:37.840 All I can say, honestly, to the entire audience is thank you.
00:43:40.960 Thank you for putting up with me for 28 years.
00:43:45.320 Thank you for laughing when I make fun of Glenn.
00:43:49.180 And thank you for caring so much about the people and the country around you.
00:43:54.460 Thank you so much.
00:43:55.840 I honestly mean it.
00:43:57.800 And I love you.
00:43:58.560 I want to get the last word in here.
00:44:11.960 Because I feel exactly the same way about Stu.
00:44:14.400 And we have been joking an awful lot today.
00:44:17.540 And both of us.
00:44:20.760 I've never seen Stu like this before.
00:44:22.940 I'm sorry.
00:44:23.420 He hides this.
00:44:24.080 No, he hides this a great deal.
00:44:26.860 And I'm the exact opposite of it.
00:44:28.640 But here's what I would like to leave you with today.
00:44:31.860 Because this is all deeply personal to us and probably not so personal to you.
00:44:36.420 But it is.
00:44:44.480 You know, as I get older.
00:44:48.580 Everything I once thought that was really, really important.
00:44:51.780 Begins to fade.
00:44:55.960 And I want to leave you with something that you can take from this show.
00:45:00.060 In my 20s, I really believed that fame and fortune was the point.
00:45:07.420 Making a name for myself was the point.
00:45:09.920 It was the mission.
00:45:11.560 And in my 20s and in my teens, I put that above absolutely everything else.
00:45:16.500 And I leased happiness or what I thought happiness was until the leases expired.
00:45:22.520 And I was left with nothing except wasted time and wrong answers.
00:45:27.740 Because of the men sitting in this room, Jeffy, Stu, Pat, I know what matters.
00:45:52.660 Family, real friends, how much you can share with somebody.
00:46:00.860 How hard you try to uplift others.
00:46:04.360 And how many you can encourage while you can.
00:46:08.360 My dad used to say, if you're lucky, son, you will have one or two really good friends in your life.
00:46:18.620 Who will stay through the good times and the bad.
00:46:21.720 And will be there for all of it.
00:46:26.080 It's taken me a lifetime to have these friends.
00:46:32.440 You don't earn these friends.
00:46:35.480 They just appear.
00:46:39.800 And I have been blessed in the second phase of my life to have friends I don't deserve, but I do cherish.
00:46:48.620 For those of you who are younger, who really don't know what life is all about yet.
00:47:04.060 This is what life is all about.
00:47:09.360 Good people you travel with.
00:47:13.080 Good people you share when you have nothing.
00:47:15.300 Good people who lift you when you just don't think you can stand it another day.
00:47:36.680 That encourage you to keep going.
00:47:38.580 To ignore the stones that are being thrown your way.
00:47:43.560 And to follow what you believe you hear from God to do.
00:47:48.960 Even when the friends can't see it themselves.
00:47:55.740 If I had my life to do all over again.
00:47:57.880 If I just had the last 30 years to do all over again.
00:48:06.640 It wouldn't change much.
00:48:12.420 Because even the scars made me who I am.
00:48:16.240 But there would be one thing that I would change.
00:48:18.200 And I want to leave you with this.
00:48:19.320 I would have been more.
00:48:36.640 Like my friends.
00:48:41.000 I would have said thank you more sincerely.
00:48:43.340 I would have listened more carefully.
00:48:46.700 And I would have encouraged more thoroughly.
00:48:49.320 And I probably would have fired Stu preemptively.
00:48:54.540 But that's a different story.
