Well again it's what its primary Election Day in the commonwealth. And you should get out and vote if you can not polls open until 8 o'clock tonight. No way. No waiting whatsoever. 187. To. What are you laughing mathematics sciences that -- about that -- heard it was pretty. Is that you know vote early office. Yet turnouts running a robust 3.5. Percent in the city of Boston that support it now. While. This democracy in action. Yeah I voted though Max idea I got I got into the habit there the guy that used to have this show before me Jerry Williams one time the Dukakis people going after him. So they decided they just went down the melted in the town hall in middle Milton and got his voting record to this I care so much raw politics I'll -- BA only votes out of one every five elections and so. -- of mine only a liberal -- -- do that to me out of blind sided especially when your especially you can get in and out in thirty seconds. It. I've faced similar situations insert right here. You're in the early easy plan if you're familiar with this woman Yvette Clarke. Now. Again she's a congresswoman from Brooklyn that was on call -- is this. Now I don't know I'm not from there. She she apparently thought there were still slavery in 1890 days and she thought the Dutch were running new York and 1898. I think she's got history facts. Apparently -- little -- it was a little below below six yes. He had no comedy was gonna come that easy yes and her purse her spokeswoman now says that bush was trying to be humorous. Okay. You over it stop me if you've heard when you. All right Max so we're gonna take a where -- we oh by the way an army of purple sure -- SE IU lay abouts are holding Joseph Joseph -- signs on Harvard street Brookline just before Brookline Village. -- -- -- -- their Joseph Joseph Joseph Joseph is is trying to get the vote well you know bobbled. He gets -- viewers last -- growing our yeah yeah how you how many did he get compared to the giants and left elbow. You know we're gonna check that out how he did it. Yeah he got about 24 million viewers semi which pretty good growing yet might even have been a little higher because of course. You know some people watch and C span of PBS that were needed and and I guess people like that stem -- I mean just -- -- -- -- the numbers for you -- ABC news four point six million CBS four point four MSNBC four point four CNN four point one. And the rare time foxes in the case of -- at the bottom 83 point one. And one most of Fox's people checked out to a food -- they were watching NBC there you go one of the football right it's -- but people they stay tuned for that -- wonders. OK so give it should give us they get us via football ratings are. That we know we need those votes of the numbers we release and that's really doubt it really counts. Yes as if we like to say the monkey business man channel people vote with their remotes. 187746943221. 207 XY and some networks like post all their shows on line CBS won't post two broke worlds news -- because of the producers. There's all with each show it's that there's there can be different reasons that can sometimes be the producers can be partnership with whatever the studio is. And something networks have different philosophies. About about what they wanted to -- and and and who's watching and where. The interesting thing is is that the NFL you were asking how it was pretty much horse race at 24 million people watched. So we Deanna if you sorts it's 24 -- half the half the people check out the people watching the NFL and the other half for watching the Democrats on one of six or eight channels rushed -- -- And plus -- you know -- and there were a lot of people watching the baseball game here in Boston last night product and as the -- -- -- eight out of mind on a road trip. But I'm sure parts of the country -- pennant races going off I think in my hometown Detroit Mike -- tires played -- yeah. But still looks more than 24 million is more than they were getting most -- I think either Democrat or pop or puck yeah there was a lot of interest and I think the night before and I think Michelle Obama's speech to about. I mean look we on the Democrat Republican. You know an NFL football game -- football's going to be tough but it's an. Air Wednesday night football I mean it's it's -- effective it's supposed to be Thursday night they changed it was supposed to be it was supposed to be Thursday night. But put the to the giants which point. You know these I mean the conventions as we know how it's though it the old days -- the smoke filled rooms with some real drama. -- know -- and I you know there was some of the best TV I ever saw was the 1968 Chicago convention -- you know they they cut away the cut aways into the streets where there was this this the police were beating the crap out of people and there you know and corporate ball and Barkley were screaming at each other and and mayor -- doing this mayor Daley was doing is the anti Semitic slurs against senator -- cough from Connecticut but were I mean I was. I was entertaining the body all it was democracy -- epics of the no it's a pretty picture. I just like to see people yelling and screaming you know on. -- when they're reading the lips of mayor -- is -- screaming and screaming at words -- -- You know. The nicest men. And is Family Guy coming back. Yes.

Of commercials that. -- both nationally and regionally. -- and mumbling means that of these of these early 1970s. Few of the idea or it could start. Well I would just start searching the Internet and but I don't know of anybody who's putting out collections of commercials there may be -- collections classic commercials. I would check the other thing you might want it to its. A lot of Mosul commercials run on YouTube and maybe you can do there's there's a -- you -- you look at pretty specific products urgent. You are broke about -- find stuff on the yeah I YouTube's a really good good good waited so look I mean I remember we were doing something that's years ago. I was editor broadcast and cable magazine.

Yeah -- your -- with Howie -- and Max -- go ahead GI. They've acknowledged it's a question about a will be. I'm just curious the longer to Hollywood what their reaction to these success looked about sixteen. Well I think look I think that yeah we have a long history of can use these so partisan documentaries do pretty well and I think they're Smart marketing of it and it. You don't believe me my guesses is that it. Say what you will about the left -- of Hollywood like money -- the like it.
