I kind of just wanted to tell the majority of the audience a little bit about the documentary I'm making on Michael's life and work. and basically, I think you know some people watching have probably followed this. but one of the things I kind of delved back into was like Michael as like a little kid. and at a really young age like age eight he called into a local talk show and he gave a prediction about the 1992 democratic primary. and this was at a point when like no one thought bill Clinton was going to win this primary. and Michael obviously was a jerry brown you know supporter. but anyhow he calls you the show he gives an alias so it's a little confusing but I would love to play the clip of that tape if we have it up. All right, great. and wait when did he actually make the call? I think he was like I mean I believe was 92. is that would have been it would have been in 92. Yeah, I'm curious at what point in that because I remember that primary. Well, I guess it's like whenever the new york primary was coming up. I had it, okay we could google its number hello you're on want hello this is Stephen from Ashfield. And I just got it I think Clinton's gonna win new york by a squeeze. you know I happen to agree with your analysis there. I believe that Clinton has pulled some rabbits out of the hat in recent days. His appearance on the Phil Donahue shows the other day was a brilliant performance. Where Daniel kept trying to ask him whether he inhaled his marijuana and had an affair and finally the audience booed Donahue and said look, we want to hear about education and Medicaid and how you're going to fix the economy. We don't want to hear about this junk anymore. but what do you base your analysis on sir? well, I was hoping that plan I'm hoping that brown wins it. I just think that it's kind of like Clinton's an idiot but now most of the people in New York you know are kind of fucked up. But so if he's gonna go to New York you know he's gonna get voted for. You know you've been really following this race, what's your first name?
