own a colorful dildo onto the court during basketball games, women's basketball. And I think somebody did it on a football turf yesterday as well. But one of those dildo throwers has been caught. He's a family man from Ohio who traveled all the way to New York, I guess, to throw a dildo onto a WNBA court. And he's not even like a big fan of WNBA. Why would you do that? He's a family man and a small business owner and there's no indication that things are going wrong in his life, but he still thought it was necessary to travel across state lines to throw a dildo and disrupt a WNBA game. Where did that come from? Was that just for fun? Did he lose a bet? Did somebody pay him to do it? Was it a dare? That's not good judgment.

Anyway, apparently Vladimir Zelenskyy of Ukraine has already asked if he can buy a collection of dildos to drop on the Russians because the charges against the man who got caught throwing the dildo is all related to it being dangerous. You know, sort of a dildo violence, if you will. There's a claim that the dildo hit somebody. I don't know that that's true. But if it's true that colorful dildos are that dangerous, I think Zelenskyy should start dropping them out of drones. It really might make a difference in that war.

Speaking of dildos that are being dropped in various places, Kamala Harris is launching a book tour for her book *107 Days*. Now it's pretty gutsy to write a book about your failed presidential campaign, unless it's about why you failed. And I suspect it's not going to be that. It's probably about how awesome she was and she probably won, but maybe Russia hacked the election systems. Who would buy a book from somebody who's most famous for not even being able to talk in public? If the book were called *Word Salad* and it was nothing but nonsense words that AI put together or something, that would make more sense. But who would read it? Who wants to hear from the loser unless they're funny or a good writer? Do you think she's a terrible speaker in public but she's a good writer? No. Do you think she wrote one word of it? Probably not. I assume it's a ghostwriter. So it wouldn't really be her voice and she didn't win the election and she doesn't have any wisdom to impart. Wow, I bet you can't wait to buy that book. You better get in line now. Yeah, get in line.

Well, according to The Hill and others, I guess there's a phrase which I hadn't heard until today: a romantic recession. So in America and probably other places, there's a romantic recession. So that would mean that people are having less sex or dating less and all that. But now there's a Bank of America survey that says that half of Gen Z adults are spending zero money on dating. Half. Now isn't that the way it almost always was? If you're counting men and women, hasn't it always been only half of them are spending money on dates and the other half are having the money spent on them? Isn't that exactly how it's always been? Half of the people spend nothing on dates and the other half spend all of it. I don't know if that's anything new there.

But it found that 53% of men, oh so they did divide it by gender, 53% of men and 54% of women didn't spend a dime on dates. Okay. I feel like if men were willing to pay for dates all the time, you know, if they could afford it, but they probably can't at the moment, don't you think that more women would say yes to dates if they knew that they would not spend a penny? Doesn't that seem like that would make a difference? Because I feel like you would go on a date that was a little marginal if you didn't have to spend any money. But if it was like, well, you know, we're gonna date a few times and you're gonna pay for our expensive dinner once and pay once, I don't know. You're not going to do the marginal ones.

All right. In other good news, apparently the US and Canada are making progress in getting some kind of a permanent trade deal. And indeed the US had dropped some what would you call it, some revengey tariffs that we put on them and then Canada just dropped some tariffs that they had on us to reciprocate. But Canada and the US are heading toward, it looks like, resolving everything. And so we go back to what did you predict would happen with tariffs? Did you predict that it would be doom and gloom because you know we would ask for things we couldn't get or whatever? Or did you believe that Trump was simply using it as a negotiating tactic and when it was all said and done that we would just end up with better trade deals?

I was, I certainly didn't know if the old tariff thing would cause a problem and I'm still not positive, but it looks like it's a huge success for Trump at this point. Things could change, but at this point it looks like a huge success. So now it looks like we're happy with our Canada tariffs, so we don't really need to negotiate anything. That's what Scott Bessent said. We've got Europe looks like it's getting close to being handled, but it's not an emergency in any way. Canada's coming online.

But what caught my attention was Carney is bad at negotiating. Here's something that Carney said out loud in public in the context of still negotiating with the United States. He actually said that Canada has the best trade deals in the world with the US and so he'd like to keep that situation. Now here's some advice. If you're negotiating, y
