gets you going. george can bob his head a little bit on this friday morning. that's right. t.j. holmes is at florida a&m university in tallahassee getting ready for homecoming. good morning, t.j. looking good, man. >> reporter: good morning to you, stray, and the incomparable, famous marching 100 and they're playing "famu spirit," is the song. old gospel, old-time religion, is what they're giving you and yes, here, homecoming, it is a lot of spirit and it is pretty much a religion, and we're going to get into it this morning why homecoming is so special in this 135-year-old university. so looking forward to checking in with you throughout the morning at famu. >> we're going to be talking to you all morning long. we're having a lot of fun, because it is a big morning. we are also counting down to tonight's first pitch of the world series and we've got a big surprise for one very deserving fan. but first, the breaking news, elon musk is in control of twitter this morning, cleaning house. the world's richest man closed his blockbuster deal overnight

to take the reins of the social media giant. already firing top executives. mola lenghi is there. good morning, mola. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's still unclear what twitter under elon musk will look like, but he's already shaking things up, and now that it's no longer a publicly traded company, he'll have no shareholders to answer to, which means he can run the company how he wants. this morning, elon musk celebrating his new ownership of twitter with a tweet saying the bird is freed. a source telling abc news that musk's first move, immediately firing several top executives, including the ceo and cfo, after closing a deal originally valued at $44 billion. >> i think it was very clear that elon wanted to shake up the leadership of twitter. he singled out some of the executives that he fired on thursday in the past and said, you know, that he had problems with specific decisions that they had made. >> reporter: decisions like banning former president trump from the platform, after allegedly inciting violence during the january 6th

insurrection. in a statement tweeted to advertisers, musk says the reason he acquired twitter is to have a common digital town square, but saying twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences. >> twitter has struggled for years to actually get control of some of the worst things that happen on its platform, and so the big question is, how can you expect, as elon musk, to cut back on moderation or cut down staff and not have this problem get worse? >> reporter: after initially trying to buy twitter in april, he said he plans to change the platform's moderation policies, eliminate spam and be more transparent on how algorithms promote content. musk hinting of a new era of twitter earlier this week, tweeting a video of himself

walking into a building with a sink, with the caption entering twitter hq, let that sink in. musk already trying to calm some fears about some of his potential plans. he's shooting down reports that he will fire up to 75% of the twitter staff, michael. >> mola, thank you so much for that. we'll keep our eye on that story for sure. now we're going to go to the economy which grew more than expected last quarter but it's facing headwinds. mortgage rates have climbed above 7% for the first time in 20 years. chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is outside the new york stock exchange with what this volatility means for all of us. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the last time we saw mortgage rates this high it was 2002, the u.s. was reeling from the dot.com tech crash. this time with mortgage rates above 7%, many americans are facing the difficult choice. the cost of buying is too high, but so is the cost of renting, and one of the biggest surprises is how quickly mortgage rates have climbed, more than doubling since the start of this year.

if you look at those numbers in real terms, if you had taken out a $300,000 mortgage at the start of this year, it would have cost you about $1,300 a month. today that same mortgage costs you more than $2,000. and while home prices have started to fall a bit in recent months, they're nowhere near affordable at this point and analysts believe they still have a ways to fall in order for more people to be able to buy and fewer people to keep being stuck as renters in this economy. you add it all together, the federal reserve is very likely to hike rates again next week, and the economy as far as economists are concerned, is still on this path toward a recession in the next 12 months. it may be mild, it may be short, but most economists believe it will be a recession. cecilia? >> just some head-spinning numbers there. thank you so much. we're going to turn to the midterms just 11 days away, and one of the key states in the

race, georgia is now front and center this morning. the stakes are so high, democrats are calling on former president obama to rally voters as republicans are coming to the defense of herschel walker facing these new allegations. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce is there with the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, cecelia. we are getting into the home stretch, the get out the vote effort now well under way. and in a must-win state like this, they're calling in reinforcements. this morning, both sides calling in their party heavyweights in the final stretch here in georgia. democrats turning not to president biden but his old boss, former president obama, today with his first rally of the campaign season, throwing his support behind stacey abrams for governor and senator raphael warnock. he's locked in a tight race with republican herschel walker. top gop leaders like senators lindsey graham and ted cruz now rallying around walker, coming to his defense after a second woman claimed walker paid for her to have an abortion. the former football star who is publicly opposed to abortion has said it's a lie.

>> i can tell you right now they can't take me down because i'm a bad man. and i can tell you that right now. >> reporter: but he's not answering further questions. >> do you know the woman behind this latest allegation? were you in a relationship with her, mr. walker? have you ever pressured a woman to have an abortion, mr. walker? >> reporter: with the race tightening, walker supporters tell us the allegations, even if true, don't matter. >> there's no proof and it's 13 days before the election so it has no bearing with me at all. >> if walker pressured a woman to get abortion in the past, does that matter? >> what you do when you're in your sinning phase of life, which i would not hold that against him. >> reporter: democratic leaders showing some concern. the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, caught on an open mic. >> where we're. [ inaudible ] going downhill is georgia, and hard to believe that they will go for herschel walker.

our vote, our early turnout in georgia is huge, huge. >> reporter: now, schumer doing a bit of cleanup on that telling a reporter he thinks democrats are doing well across the board, that he thinks they will keep the senate. as you know, so much of this is comes dounz down to turnout. in georgia we're breaking records, nearly 1.3 million have been cast, and that's nearly on par with the 2020 presidential race. >> that is something. okay, mary, thanks very much. now to the triple virus for children, many hospitals are nearing capacity with some using overflow tents. whit johnson went inside one of the hospitals seeing a crush of patients in texas. take a look. >> reporter: this morning, new images showing an overflow tent set up outside seattle childrens' emergency department, now pushing 200% capacity. that so-called perfect storm of viruses hitting hospitals nationwide, including texas children's in houston. >> i think there was really

nothing that could have prepared us for the numbers we're seeing now. >> reporter: more than 40 children are hospitalized here, at least ten in the icu. 5 week old baby lily on oxygen for three days with the virus rsv. >> it was kind of like a choking cough, so she was going in and out of breathing. >> reporter: her mother says all five of her children got sick but lily's condition declined dramatically. >> it was so bad, i said call the ambulance. >> you actually called the ambulance for her? >> we did because it was pretty bad. >> reporter: this tiny patient now on the road to recovery. seeing your 5-week-old baby girl in a hospital hooked up to these machines, what is that like for you as a mother? >> it's hard, it's hard. it really is, because, you know, you feel so helpless. >> reporter: texas is one of five states where pediatric hospital beds are topping 90% capacity. overall, the u.s. seeing the highest levels in two years as a wave of respiratory viruses are making an early season impact. and experts are reminding parents to call your doctor

immediately if your child experiences difficulty breathing, wheezing, is making grunting sounds or if their skin color starts to change. and while viruses like rsv can be serious and scary, the vast majority of children make a full recovery. michael? >> that's good news there, whit. thank you very much. now to a developing story overnight out of miami beach. residents of a condo building ordered to evacuate after an inspection found unsafe structural conditions. this comes a little more than a year after the deadly condo collapse in nearby surfside. faith abubey has the story. >> reporter: this morning, an urgent evacuation for hundreds of residents living in this 14-story miami beach condo. >> a neighbor in the hallway stopped me and told me that something was going on with the building and we might have to leave. >> reporter: the city posting a mandatory notice for residents at the port royale condominium to vacate immediately due to reports of significant damage to

the building's structure. it was found in a concrete beam in the garage level which could affect all 164 units. >> i was kind of shocked. i knew they were doing construction work in the building. i just didn't think it would get to a point where we might have to go. >> reporter: these images showing water leaking into an electrical gutter, creating a decay of rust, chipping along the walls and columns. the condo located just two miles away from the deadly surfside building collapse in june of last year killing 98 people. >> we need to get this right because it's not only what happened, it's does this condition exist in any other buildings that need to be addressed now so we don't see another structural collapse. >> reporter: and the report estimates it could take about ten days to shore up the structure and allow an inspector to go in and determine whether the building is safe for residents to come back. george? >> faith, thanks very much. the latest now on the war in ukraine, vladimir putin is speaking again about nuclear threats and tom soufi burridge is on the scene in kyiv. good morning, tom.

>> reporter: good morning, george. after making nuclear threats on a number of occasions, putin now saying there is no need for him to use a nuclear weapon. putin, whose invasion has killed tens of thousands of people, incredibly accusing western elites of playing a dirty game and putin repeating his baseless claim that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb. in turn the pentagon calling russia an acute threat and the white house warning russia if it targets american satellites, which have been used to help ukraine, there would be an appropriate response. the white house also saying iranian officials have been directly involved on the ground in crimea to help with the drones which have hit cities and infrastructure with devastating effects. overnight, zelenskyy said his forces have shot down 23 out of 30 drones launched at ukraine over the past few days. george? >> thank you so much. now to terrifying images

showing a passenger jet battered by severe weather and we are hearing from passengers this morning. our transportation correspondent gio benitez has all the details. good morning. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. you're about to see a true nightmare and it was captured on camera by the terrified passengers in the middle of it all. this morning, new video capturing this terrifying scene on board a passenger jet. the aircraft departing from chile and flying to paraguay flying directly into a violent thunderstorm on wednesday night. the crew warning passengers to brace for impact. >> they gave us the instruction how to put our hands, our head, and just wait for the impact. by that moment, i really thought i was going to die and i just started praying. >> reporter: onboard, 48 passengers screaming as lightning flashed outside the

windows, the plane being tossed around like a toy. >> up and down, up and down, and, like, free falling sometimes. >> this was a very, very rough thunderstorm with lots of lightning that could have brought this airplane down. >> reporter: you can hear the hail slamming into the plane. even shattering the cockpit windshield as pilots tried to make an emergency landing. >> the crew should have been able to see the weather in front of them, so the question investigators will have, was the radar working? did they see the storm? did they see the lightning and why did they decide to continue through that very, very rough storm? >> reporter: the plane eventually making an emergency landing in asuncion, paraguay. is the aircraft suffering heavy damage. and thankfully this morning everyone's okay. investigators will want to know why the plane flew directly into the storm. >> thank you. we're going to switch gears and tell you about tom brady setting another record overnight.

but perhaps not the one he actually wants. take a look, seven-time super bowl champ becomes the most sacked quarterback in history. brady has now been sacked 556 times in his 23-year career, but we know the greatest sack of all time was when michael sacked brady back in the 2008 super bowl. one of his three sacks on brady. i'm always saying brady just broke this record in one year and that's surprising because usually these sack records hold for a really long time. so i just always feel like i'm telling you this. i wish it would sink in. >> you're always schooling me on sports. i'm curious, how do you get a 1/2 a sack? thank you. [ laughter ] >> there you go. for those who don't know, that's when two people hit the quarterback at the same time. you split the sack.

there you go. >> thank you, michael. coming up, an exclusive interview with matthew perry. the friends who reached out. what he tells people who need help. diane's here this morning. and an all you can fly pass, but first let's head to ginger. but can you third a sack? >> thank you, thank you. >> i was just checking. i don't know. i do have to tell you denver got their first snow. idaho springs, you see interstate 70, they had occasional accidents, but in the south that low pressure system will bring severe storms, so victoria, houston, sugarland, gulfport, you have to watch for severe storms tomorrow. isolated tornadoes are possible. the good news, some rain. that will help the mississippi. your local weather coming up in 30 seconds with a third of a sack.

decades, to the hairstyle, the clothes, the way they talk. >> i need to lie down. >> my eye, my eye! >> reporter: but as we all laughed, there was something we were seeing on that screen we never fully recognized, matthew perry clearly changing season to season, signaling something was wrong. he writes this in the book -- >> you can track the trajectory of my addiction if you gauge my weight from season to season. when i'm carrying weight, it's alcohol. when i'm skinny, it's pills. >> reporter: he writes about the scenes that remind him how he was just barely holding on. he needed the pills to function but the pills destroy appetite and cause deep nausea. i asked him if it was okay for us to look at one of those scenes together. >> sure. >> reporter: a scene in which he is painfully thin, shirt hanging off his body. >> wait a minute, i know that hat. i was taken aboard that hat.

they did experiments on me. i can't have children. >> yeah, of course. it's very hard to watch that. because in this weird way i feel so sorry for that guy, because that's a guy that's out of control. i didn't know what was going on with me. i weighed 155 pounds, on my way to 128 pounds. i feel too sorry for that guy, he's gone through too much, and it's me, and i remember that. and i didn't understand what was going on, but, again, i'm sorry

the interview but it seemed like he knew there was a real purpose for himself and others behind doing it. >> so thoughtful, he had thought it all the way through. >> he has so much to reach out with, so many lifelines to give people. >> such a profound and graceful message that he is sharing with us that so many people need to hear. and coming from him, having that lived experience, he is helping so many people. it's invaluable. >> and still funny. >> still witty. thank you, diane. matthew perry, the diane sawyer interview airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on abc and tomorrow on hulu and monday on "gma," matthew perry will join us live in studio. if you or someone you care about is struggling with substance abuse or disorder, confidential free help is available at findtreatment.gov. >> thank you. we'll be right back. finetreatment.gov. >> thank you. we'll be right back. fin

an airline is offering the opportunity to fly as much as you want for the entire year. gio benitez has the details. good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning again. we're talking about frontier airlines and they're hoping to shake up the industry with what it calls the go wild pass. here's how it works. frontier says it's going to allow for an unlimited number of flights for 12 months with access to all of the airline's destinations.

now the pass will be available for 300 days per year, so not every day of the year, likely some blackout dates. you'll also need to be flexible because you may not get a confirmed flight right away. it's also unclear if it will include baggage and seat assignments, but frontier says it's going to roll this out sometime next spring. >> and how much does it cost? >> reporter: well, that's the thing. right now the airline isn't giving a price for this just yet but they're saying this is going to be offered at what it calls these wildly discounted rates. those are their words. but let's look at what some of the other airlines have done. alaska, for example, does have a subscription-based service that's going to allow for 24 flights per year in california, nevada and arizona. prices range from about 50 bucks to $190. about ten years ago jetblue had a month-long pass for unlimited flights costing between 500 and 700 bucks. we're going to have to wait for a price from frontier on this but clearly they're trying to do

and cfo, after closing the deal originally valued at $44 billion. then, of course, he tweeted, saying the bird is freed. in a separate statement tweeted to advertisers, musk says he acquired the company to have a common digital town square, but adding, twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences. he has previously said some of his plans include eliminating spam on the website and being more transparent on how algorithms promote content. it's still unclear how twitter look like under elon musk, but we do know it will no longer be a publicly traded company, therefore he doesn't have to answer to any shareholders, he can pretty much run the company how he wants. >> thank you so much. we're going to turn to mortgage rates climbing above 7% for the first time in 20 years. let's go to our chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis,

outside the stock exchange this morning, with what this volatility means for every one of us. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, cecilia. and these rates are now back where they were in 2002 at the highest level, that 30-year fixed rate mortgage 7.08%. and the biggest surprise is not just how high it is, but how quickly it got there, more than doubling since the start of this year. if you look at that number in real terms, here's what it means. on a $300,000 mortgage at the start of this year, you would have paid about $1,300 a month. today it is more than $2,000 a month. meantime, home prices have started to react. they've started to fall. but they're still significantly higher than they were a few years ago, having risen 40% during the pandemic, and many analysts believe prices have a ways to go before becoming affordable for most americans. now, while it's notoriously difficult to predict where mortgage rates will go from here, analysts do predict that they will continue rising this year, with the fed expected to hike interest rates again next week.

but rates could fall next year if the economy deteriorates. michael? >> all right, thanks, rebecca. and early this morning, civil rights leader reverend dr. calvin o. butts, iii, passed away. the reverend served for more than 30 years and was president of the suny college at old westbury for 20 years. an instrumental member of his community, he founded a community-based not for profit organization responsible for over $1 billion in housing and commercial development in harlem. he has three children and six grandchildren. what a life of impact on his community. >> a real leader. >> what a legacy he had. coming up in our "gma" morning menu, new details about prince harry's memoir "spare," all the reaction this morning. and our friend lori bergamotto is back showing us some of the best buys on fall flannels.

superman. you said it was always something you always hoped you could do. why is that character special to you? >> the character is special to me because he is the best of what we can be. he is the best of human potential, ironically. and the character means so much to me because it was a formative part of my career. i mean, i was 29, 30 years old, hanging above a cornfield in illinois, and just feeling that, oh, this is what movie making is. and that is a huge, huge part of my career and here we are 12 years later and it's back and i get to do that again. i'm incredibly excited about it. >> we all are. >> we all are. and you know what, the "stranger things" fans are not excited it's almost your final season. they've got the tissues out. six years as eleven. do you have a sense of what you hope her character ends up

doing? >> well, shockingly eight years. i started when i was 10. for me, it's most of my life, actually. so, yeah, it's going to be hard, of course. i mean, again, it's like my high school, it's like i grew up on the show. they're, like, my school friends. it's going to be hard. but i'm never not going to not see them and i'm sure netflix will make it last for as long as it can, and i'm incredibly, like you said, in a different way, it's so much a part of my career and so formative and i'll always remember my experience with "stranger things." >> grew up there. >> what's it like having a little sister? >> i'm from a family of five boys, and so we're used to noise and making fun of each other all

the time, and that's pretty much millie. [ laughter ] >> there's no real difference. >> no, but i'm like a brother. i'm not really a sister. i would be more like a brother. >> i wouldn't know. >> i feel like she's not as feminine, which i think is why people love her, the masculinity within her that people can feel like they can resonate to, and she's not afraid of it, either. >> let's give everybody a look. >> tell me everything. >> a government case? >> no. >> is there another strangler? or a periwinkle? >> perhaps you tell me yours and i'll tell you mine. >> i needed to know what he had on you. >> i'm curious, millie, how much of yourself do you put in the character, or any of yourself? >> oh, no.

i used most of who i am within her, actually our director is always like, millie, you're being too much of yourself and draw the line. [ laughter ] >> so it's really nice to be able to implement some of my qualities, good and bad, in her. i think i use a lot of humor as a deflection so that people don't know my heart in real life, and in enola, i think that's a really raw and authentic part of who she is. and showing her flaws as a woman is something that's important and you should embrace, so i've implemented a lot of that within enola. >> i love that. >> we would love to play a little game of rapid round with you guys. i don't have the accent so it's not going to sound as great, we would like to say afoot. here we go. who would be the better at solving real-life mysteries? >> i suppose it depends on the mystery. >> it does. because if it's something really -- >> age related. >> yeah.

[ laughter ] >> it's true. >> i would say you, though, henry. i feel like i would be very dedicated, but i would be, like, on my own kind of excursion, where you would be getting to the bottom of the case. >> probably. >> who is more likely to be the troublemaker sibling? >> me. >> 100%. >> henry is very focused and dedicated. me, i'm like, squirrel! [ laughter ] >> i'm one of those people. so, yeah, again, henry is not the troublemaker here. i think he's definitely the favorite on set. >> and speaking of set, final one, who spent the most free time on set? >> free time as in -- >> i don't know. >> is there free time on set? >> there's no free time. [ laughter ] >> doing sit-ups and stuff, i know baker street i would spend

a lot of time there because it was such a cool set anyway and it's really fun to make millie look bad when i'm there and everyone is waiting on her. >> actually, to be honest, in all fairness, henry never left set. any time i would come onto set, okay, let's go, let's roll, and henry would be on set waiting. i would be, like, what are you doing? i like to go back to my trailer and i like to read the lines from the day before and day after. i need to relax and decompress because i'm working every day for four months straight and so it's a really hard shoot. henry would come on set, he's already there, he's looking through the magnifying glass. [ laughter ] >> i just swarm in for a week and then leave again and come back a few weeks later. >> we're happy that you came here and joined us on set. and "enola holmes 2" begins streaming on netflix november the 4th. make sure you check out millie bobby brown and henry cavill, everybody. t.j. is in tallahassee with much more from the famu

in the clip, our embed abby cruz talks about the top issue in this election. >> reporter: nevada is a very competitive state and a lot of people are saying that it's the most likely to flip. >> it's not flipping. there's so much energy in the democratic party right now. there's no doubt in my mind, if we vote, we win. >> reporter: i've spoken to the residents of nevada. number one issue is inflation. if re-elected, how do you plan on changing that and fixing that? >> well, unfortunately the governor doesn't have a lot of influence when it comes to inflation. that's a national issue and it deals with the federal reserve board and so forth and so on. we're trying to help people where we can from nevada point of view. we've made free school lunches available for every family, we've invested half a billion in affordable housing. trying to give money back to the families that they can use it as

best they possibly can and we're going to continue to do that. >> reporter: you said it's a national issue, republicans call it bidenflation. what are your thoughts on that? >> the president doesn't have much influence over the price of gasoline. the oil companies have had record profits for the last couple of months. there's not much the president can do, either, but we've got to help where we possibly can. >> we're still working on this episode but i screened the rough cut this morning. what i love about this week's episode is we are all over the country, we're in nevada, pennsylvania, michigan, mississippi, we're in washington, new york, and you're really getting a feel of what it's like on the campaign trail. >> 11 days to go. >> it's going to be really intense. >> that really comes through in this episode. new episodes drop every sunday. let's go to ginger. >> thanks, george. i want to take you to michigan, speaking of my home state, because they have a brand new sky bridge. this is a place where i learned

how to ski and it just makes me feel so happy to see a little piece of home. my friends and family say the fall colors are epic this year. looking at saturday and sunday, a lot of folks have parties or perhaps you've got something going on for pre-halloween. some heavy rain with the atmospheric river coming in, and the low pressure system. then the trick or treat forecast, five, six and seven we put on the map. rain especially east of the >> abc7news accuweather forecast. temperatures in the 60's and 70's this afternoon, warming up a bit over the weekend, halloween is nice. all morning all morning long we've been celebrating homecoming at famu. let's head back to t.j. with more from tallahassee. t.j., we saw you doing the surfing, whatever you were doing [ laughter ] >> i don't know what that was, man. >> what that was, stray, was my

>> it's a legacy spanning nearly four decades, the culmination of a young love between vivian bradley and frederick johnson. >> famu has done so much for us. >> absolutely. >> we would not be where we are today had it not been for famu. >> reporter: an ode to the university, five famu graduates, three miss famus, one mr. famu. a royal rattler lineage, the first of its kind. >> it gives me a full circle moment, legacy is very powerful. it's bigger than really what you can imagine. >> reporter: for their kids, holding this elected position was far from a requirement. attending famu, however, well, that's a whole nother story. >> it was only famu. >> my family had this legacy, and i thought, can i fit in their shoes? i was a little scared. but i came to famu and i can literally say the family chose me.

>> reporter: this legacy cemented by a sense of pride and commitment to paying forward the rattler mantra, excellence with caring. >> someone saw something in us and it feels so good to give that back or pour that back into our university that nurtured us, that cared for us, that welcomed us, that lifted us up. outside of these walls -- ♪ i've got my pearls ♪ ♪ i've got my pearls ♪ ♪ i've got my pearls ♪ >> and it's why homecoming represents more than just a return to the hill. >> home is comfort, home is familiarity, home is where people support you. and when you come here you have that. >> reporter: look who i have with me now, vivian and the fam. you got to help me here, vivian. many are watching and might be getting an introduction to famu right now in our audience. what is it that makes this such a special place that you want to keep coming back to?

>> famu has just done so much for my family, for me, and just the leaders that this institution actually just develops that we basically feel like this is the greatest institution. and i come back to show my support and my love for this institution because it has done so much for my family, for my brothers and sisters, my husband, and me. >> the kids, did you all have a choice, really, michelle? did you have a choice where you were going to school? >> no, the money was coming here. >> the money is here. you didn't have to follow the money but the money was going to be here. they passed this on and you grew up around it. what is your appreciation for this school? how has it continued to develop over the years? it's one thing growing up as a kid and hearing about it. now you've been through it. >> it has made me the woman i am

today. it has progressed me through my career. i continue to thrive in my education and it gives that black excellence in me. >> we've got some more black excellence right here over. the new mr. and miss famu here. what advice -- this is not just about wearing a crown, this is a responsibility. explain. >> absolutely. well, when you win this position, you represent more than just yourself. we have this beautiful legacy right here, our student-athletes, our student body, the alumni. it's so much bigger than yourself. our rich history, you have to think about everybody you're representing. >> we actually have some members of our own staff here, we've got an intern here and a couple of folks, a couple of famu grads. an intern here as well. and i'm going to send it back to you all because i'm not going to mess up. the strike, strike, do it for me. tell me the rattler strike thing. >> let me get two claps and a strike.

[ laughter ] >> i told you i was going to mess that up. >> you've got to know your limit, t.j. let me get two claps. >> i was just trying to fit in. i'm sorry. coming up, we are cooking up some delicious sliders with chef
