If she is a situation a relationship with the truth. -- out and as so I don't know I mean I think that three that sounds truthful because it's something I would say if I were leaving Boston yeah you my fifth. I have to say Oprah. I think she's about as smart as they come -- I mean you know it's it's it is the rare person as we know in this business to. Gets out while they're ahead in this going -- to -- made good can zillions of dollars more someplace else. Did you read -- they put her net worth at 3.2 billion dollar wanna know was that high. That I -- was in the billions. Via. I knew somebody she bought some property off of in Hawaii could put the he was right in the middle of -- Brad let's just say price was not an object. She just that what's the price where our right to check I don't got to hear the tour. A tea it's funny you people who work for her right now -- Beckman is a member -- TV guide. I mean they stake she pays well but at the why couldn't believe that neighborhood in Chicago -- in the loop where where she took over and have the Harpo studios -- was like all around that this said mice -- for fighting area with find restaurants and bars and top shelf retail stores a area should should brought back the entire neighborhood I mean it really is going to be a blow a five they shut that place now yeah yeah no she's she's -- great things for that city and you know she lives she is a big spread out in Santa Barbara. Right and and -- and it is she's one elect a few super rich people who -- of people Santa Barbara say nice things about. Well you we heard that that she always leaves on Friday show was left on Friday to go to Santa Barbara and I must say I was almost thinking why would. I would -- wanna fly back to Chicago hit a Mexican winter. On on Monday morning. I I just didn't quite -- yeah I grew up in that part of the world yes and and and literally from Thanksgiving Day. Until sometime around march 1 it is just cold and great -- recent Boston or New York. When it's called the sons that well not always today it like today I just told Michael -- woman today it was the first grade sort of the gray rainy day and I saw an winter started. You know stand by for seven months fifth -- They -- part about extended expanding the convention senator Macs to make to make us a world class destination center. Nothing says world class destination like Boston in January 5 typical. Or February. March oh well no -- nice that's I didn't -- just those couple months that are off. Route those couple do you have -- couple double the grandma -- the couple met at a a couple three months times too plus 15. OK let's take some calls were for max Robbins won -- he has the executive vice president of the paley center for media in New York City and he covered the TV industry for many years and he still. Has his hand it. -- president for vice for the monkey business channel Howie I think when we launch I think I think the monkey business channel will be headquartered in Palm Beach I think that's.

This you know that they give them a little limited play because it is a good way to get caught up in. And -- quite frankly I think these shows would build ratings if if they kept the show is. Like -- premium cable channels did on longer. I agree what happens people here about a show they wanna get caught up -- wanna watch back episodes before they jump in Matt Laporte so what's supported take him down I mean if you got to -- well why -- why bother to what take them off I think this is deals they cut with the studio how alienated this probably has to do with something the way.
