allowed to run so that probably increased the chances that one of them would win. But good work Iran in pretending to have something like a democracy.

Did you hear about Bill Maher ripping into Lin-Manuel Miranda? Now you know him from stage plays, from Hamilton in specifically, but he's got some other new kind of play now called In the Heights. And apparently he didn't add enough diversity. So Lin-Manuel Miranda got a little pushback for not having enough diversity. And here's his apology that Bill Maher ripped into. I'll tell you about that in a moment but I want to read his apology because remember I told you that these apologies for getting canceled or almost canceled are now blurring the line between parody and reality.

Matt says it's fine if he said he'd like her head to move rapidly upwards toward my stationary scrotum but the scrotum itself, yeah that's a good upgrade. Yeah I feel that's right. You can't have the scrotum moving toward the head but if the head is moving towards the scrotum it was more of a voluntary situation so that's probably okay. Thank you for that upgrade.

Back to our main story. So I'm going to read you Lin-Manuel Miranda's apology. And here's what you have to determine. Is he kidding? Seriously I'm going to read this and you'll say to yourself I'm not sure he's serious about this. But I can't wait till I get canceled because you're going to see the apology of a lifetime when I do it and you know it's going to happen. So sooner or later you're going to see the best apology you've ever heard of.

But let's see. Lin-Manuel Miranda. Now can somebody do a fact check on me? He wrote Hamilton, right? Am I right? He's actually the author of the play Hamilton and maybe In the Heights. I don't know. So remember he's a skilled writer, okay? So he's not like, I believe, right? Well I'm getting yeses here, right? So he's a very smart, talented, skilled writer. So let's see what the skilled writer said.

Quote, "I can hear the hurt and frustration over colorism. It's a big and loud signal of feeling still unseen." In the feedback he continued, "I hear that without sufficient dark-skinned Afro-Latino representation the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy. In trying to paint a mosaic of this community, we fell short. I'm truly sorry. I'm learning from the feedback. I thank you for raising it and I'm listening. I promise to do better in my future projects."

Here's what Bill Maher said. Bill Maher said, "Please stop apologizing. But please stop apologizing. You're the guy who made the founding fathers Black and Hispanic," Mayor Bill Maher exclaimed during the show's panel discussion. Quote, "I don't think you have to apologize to Twitter for that. This is why people hate Democrats. It's cringy."

Well it's cringy if it was serious. What was it? You know, do you imagine that Lin-Manuel Miranda sat down and he wrote that with like tears in his eyes and a solemn approach and deep regret for the hurt that he has caused because he has a good history of inclusion for, let's say, what's the word here, for the Latino community and the African-American community. But he's a little short on the Afro-Latino community. And if you're going to leave out that group, well you have some work to do, don't you?

So what do you think? Is he serious? In the comments tell me. Do you think he was completely serious, Lin-Manuel Miranda, when he wrote that? Or do you think he was laughing when he wrote it and said, "Ah, this will take care of it." I can't tell. I honestly can't tell. Because I'm sure that he's entirely honest and well-meaning and that he's been more successful than anybody I can think of in being inclusive of all people. Or apparently not all people but being very inclusive.

So I'm looking at your comments. Seriously, sarcasm, completely serious. It feels serious. Dripping with sarcasm. Somebody says he's doing both simultaneously. That's sort of where I'm at. It's sort of where I'm at. I do think, look, he was trying to do something serious but when you put in words like "the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy," I don't know. I don't know if that's serious. Maybe. Could be. I wouldn't, I mean if you were here in the room and I could ask him and I knew that he would tell me the truth and he said it was serious, I'll believe him. I'd believe him if I heard it from the source. But you can't tell just by reading it. It's like, well maybe. Maybe serious. I don't know. Yeah, apology accepted somebody says.

All right, well let me tell you, I'm going to be flying tomorrow and I believe I will be on the airplane during this time period. So if you don't hear from me at this time tomorrow there's a pretty good chance you'll hear from me the day after. But if you don't hear from me the day after there's a very high chance you're going to hear from me the day after that because it's going to take me two days to get home. So we're going to be flying a lot.

What do I do on flights? Well this last one I had a panic attack so that wasn't cool. I think my first one. I don't have any history of that. Now the panic attack is not because I have a fear of flying, which I don't, but masks. Wearing a mask for 18 hours is to me like it's like torture. And so sort of 18 hours of having somebody's scrotum on your forehead, it's uncomfortable. Really, really uncomfortable.

So I'll tell you the good and the bad. If you fly well and you can fly with a mask for 18 hours with a few breaks, go ahead and do it because Greece right now, let me give a little commercial for at least Santorini and Greece. It's the best time to come if you can get to Santorini. And in other words if you can handle the travel, all the testing and the vaccinations and the travel problems and the masking, if you can handle the travel, getting here is the best freaking thing you've ever done in your life because it's not very busy. You know it's keeping other people away. So fortunately for me Christina is a world traveler and you know she can do things that she can make things easier than I could if I'm doing it myself.

All right, so definitely come here. I had the same, we had the same experience at Bora Bora during the pandemic when it was open briefly. If you can get away the crowds are really small and everything's better. And wow are the Greek people appreciative when they see Americans coming in. Very, very appreciative. You know I've, I haven't traveled a ton but you know how everybody always says, "Oh the people there are so nice." Hey yellow air man you're too nice. Thank you. You know how people always say wherever you go it seems like, "Oh the people there are so nice. The people there are so nice." The exception being Los Angeles. That's the only place I've been where you walk, you leave Los Angeles and you think, "I don't think the people here were very nice at all." But it's the only place.

However you may have heard that the Greeks are unusually friendly. Let me tell you the Greeks are unusually friendly. This is the warmest, friendliest place I've ever been. Nothing's even close, right? And I'm talking about just every interaction wit
