The Wizard of Oz

...

W- Wizard of Oz, Chrissy.

[laughs]

It goes back to Wizard of Oz.

Yeah.

I think that's where they had, like, didn't they do the, uh, the Wizard of Oz, like the live version where stuff is flying around?

It was, it was that year.

I was gonna say like-

I think that's where they had, like ...

Didn't they do the, uh, the Wizard of Oz, like the live version where stuff is flying around-

It was, they've had, yeah

... and when the storm happened?

Not a great look, I know.

Like, looking back, you're like, "Oh, shit, I'm a flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz." Yeah, you really are.

Good look, isn't it? Kaufman's statement ran over four hundred words.

It explained the man he served as best man for, co-owner of a business with, and held power of attorney for, was never really in his inner circle.

I really do.

I worry too, but something interesting you just said cough in terms of like, is she just this weird fairy godmother character? We started the season off with a lot of references to wizard of Oz and, you know, Dorothy and Oz and going back to Kansas and a lot of things very similar.

And there's always been these kind of like hero's journeys with Ted Lasso.

So I'm kind of curious what she's actually going to be.

Come on!

What state is Dorothy from in The Wizard of Oz?

Kansas.

Yes.

Yeah,

you sound like a munchkin on the Wizard of Oz.

Yeah, call me, hang up and call back about that.

We found the munchkin line.

Welcome back to another episode of the Larie Breaks It Down, the podcast where I give you the news that matters, the context you need, and the truth you can use.

We got a lot to get into this morning, and for those of you who are familiar with, uh, the Wizard of Oz scene where Dorothy, Toto, and every one of her friends that she met in Oz are skipping down the yellow brick road singing, "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my," that's how I think about today's topic.

Hexes, Patels, and beasts, oh my! Re- they really are just white entitled incompetence.

... dealerships have become such a corporation that you don't know who you're getting, you don't know who you're talking to.

You know, it's kind of The Wizard of Oz.

It's the man behind the, the curtain that's making all the decisions.

And I, I know I personally, when I go into businesses and if I have a chance to meet the owner or, you know, it's a locally owned business, like I just, I feel different about that establishment.
