Liphan and I are going to take a look at all the issues of the day, and in each case, ask the probing question: what's up with that?! So if you're not here with us for the Tawk, well, then, what's up with that?!

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:00 AM

Mr. Lee, I presume?

Liphan Lee · 3:00 AM

Hey Jordy!!

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:00 AM

Hi pal! Happy 2014, btw!

Liphan Lee · 3:01 AM

happy 2014 from MoCo., MD

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:01 AM

How's 2014 looking to you so far?

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:01 AM

personally, globally, however you want to answer

Liphan Lee · 3:01 AM

so far so good...have you been extremely busy from the get go?

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:02 AM

I think I came out of the slow-moving holiday energy around the 3rd or so

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:02 AM

but I like 2014 so far

Liphan Lee · 3:02 AM

i hit the ground running at 6a on 1.1.14

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:02 AM

doing what?

Liphan Lee · 3:02 AM

this is gonna be a fast moving year

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:03 AM

well, having spent the last few minutes reviewing all the major news stories, I'm not so sure how easy it's going to be to maintain this positive attitude...

Liphan Lee · 3:03 AM

let's just say there was an incident and the police were involved

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:03 AM

whoa

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

OK -let's tawk about things that other people can relate to and you won't regret later!

Liphan Lee · 3:04 AM

lets do it!

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

but I do want too hear of course...

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

eventually

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

OK -so I have a bunch of news stories prepared

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:04 AM

for us to ask the question

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

What's Up With That?!

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

you ready?

Liphan Lee · 3:05 AM

ready!

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

Today Warren Buffet announced that he would pay $1 BILLION to anyone who fils out a perfect NCAA bracket.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:05 AM

What's up with that?!

Liphan Lee · 3:06 AM

i heard about that...i guess the old man is getting bored

Liphan Lee · 3:06 AM

1 billion is a lot of dollars

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:06 AM

I mean -for starters, let's think about what he could do with that money...

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:06 AM

How many national problems could be eradicated by $1 billion, that he apparently doesn't give a shoot if he keeps

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:07 AM

shoot was supposed to say shit

Liphan Lee · 3:07 AM

lol

Liphan Lee · 3:07 AM

i was gonna say he could make 100 superbowl ads for geico

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:07 AM

lol

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:07 AM

just what we need

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:08 AM

I wonder if it ever occurs to anyone else that with the amount of money spent on auto insurance ads, we could all probably pay like 50% less...

Liphan Lee · 3:08 AM

in fact we wouldn't need insurance at all

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:08 AM

I mean, how much money are these guys making to run that many ads

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:08 AM

lol

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:09 AM

Given all the issuance ads, do you think you could switch insurance enough times that they would start to pay you?

Liphan Lee · 3:09 AM

just keep going back and forth between geico and progressive and esurance

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:09 AM

If you save $400 every time you switch, at some point it crosses the threshold, right?

Liphan Lee · 3:09 AM

lol

Liphan Lee · 3:09 AM

yup

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:10 AM

you could make a good living just switching car insurance companies

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:10 AM

OK -next topic

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:10 AM

should we go serious or light?

Liphan Lee · 3:10 AM

lets keep it light

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:11 AM

Another drunk video of Toronto mayor Rob Ford has surfaced. He's in a fast food joint and is so wasted that he is speaking pure gibberish.

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:11 AM

Liphan Lee · 3:11 AM

i did not hear about that one

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:11 AM

Liphan Lee · 3:13 AM

you have to do those types of things once in a while in order to STAY in office

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:13 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:16 AM

what a douche. so I assume Christie is as big a story in LA as he is in NY?

Liphan Lee · 3:16 AM

probably not as big in LA but he was the republican front runner correct?

Liphan Lee · 3:17 AM

WAS

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:17 AM

I mean, I don't know what exactly qualifies a front-runner

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:17 AM

but he was sure in the mix

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:17 AM

I have a hard time imagining the south voting for him

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:18 AM

do you think people are getting burned out on the bride story? or do you think it's picking up steam? or holding steady?

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:18 AM

bridge story -Christie's I mean

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:18 AM

The Bride story is Kill Bill

Liphan Lee · 3:18 AM

Princess Bride of the Bridge

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:19 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:19 AM

my friend who lives in Jersey is all about getting Christie impeached

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:19 AM

me2

Liphan Lee · 3:19 AM

if the allegations are true...we've got a huge problem in our political system

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:19 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:21 AM

So Liph did you hear about the former Virginia Governor, Bob McDonnell?

Liphan Lee · 3:21 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:21 AM

Liphan Lee · 3:21 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:22 AM

what's up with that?

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:22 AM

I don't even know -I'm like to sick of these stories to even read them anymore...

Jordan Birnbaum · 3:22 AM

too sick

Liphan Lee · 3:22 AM

why does all the corruption seem to be going on closer to the east coast?

Liphan Lee · 3:23 AM
