year but here in New York City and I believe in the Northeast it's been
mild what did you say so Paul oh mild yeah it's been it's been hot as hell

week do you remember that weekend that was terrible week it rained Friday yeah
it rained Saturday it rained all day Sunday and I looked at my thermometer outside of the
house it never once got above 60. so how can you stand there and tell me this has not been
a mild summer Oh I thought you meant just last weekend it was hot as hell but in general this
summer it's been basically a mild temperate sort of Summer boys play the sneaking out
you can't get rid of me that easy but so so like Paul said now finally we get some summertime

welcome back to the program ladies and gentlemen if you're just joining us we've been playing let's
look for swedes turn on that camera out there Hal and let's see if it's still out there you
know it occurred to me when we saw the two young girls who looked one looked like she might be from
Sweden the other one looked like she might be from Milwaukee and when I when I realized they weren't
from Sweden I had nothing else to say to them and I think that proves a very important point about
life generally just because you look like you're Swedish does not necessarily mean you're Swedish
if we can take one thing away with us from the program tonight I guess it would be
that lesson don't you think Paul I'm going to take that to heart excuse excuse me sir oh I'm
talking to Paul I thought that was a man on the street I thought I saw a man down there on the
street turn on the camera just one more time there Hal and let's just see if we can't look
