I block their calls and they keep trying ♪ What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s a-happening ♪ Marcy’s right. If we called the Chinese inflatable a drone, it would be a very different conversation. While it’s not offically a drone, my buddy Barry Summers is on the case. It’s in the neighborhood this morning. No, I’m not going outside to look. Mark Hamill FTW.
