Clocks fall back November 1; the Senate still holds the Sunshine…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClocks fall back one hour at two a. m. on Sunday, November first, and the House already voted to stop it.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorZelda Okonkwo-Reyes advises clients on exactly this kind of thing.

3. ZO

   Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesThank you, Hank. Let me be clear: the clocks change. That is the finding, and at our rate, that sentence costs eleven dollars a syllable.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe House passed the Sunshine Protection Act on July fourteenth, three hundred eight to one hundred seventeen. Why are we still changing clocks?

5. ZO

   Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesBecause it went to the Senate, and the Senate has a process. I have a process too. It's billed in six-minute increments.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Where is the bill right now?

7. ZO

   Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesIt was referred to the Senate Commerce Committee, where bills go to be quietly forgotten. At our rate, I'd call that a very expensive nap.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs of September it hadn't passed the Senate or become law. So a vote in July, and the bill was referred to the Senate Commerce Committee.

9. ZO

   Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesCorrect. And I'd advise every household to change the oven clock Saturday night, October thirty-first. That recommendation alone is worth four thousand dollars.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChange the oven clock. That's the advice.

    Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesPlus the car dashboard and the microwave. At our rate, a microwave is nine hundred dollars of strategic thinking.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat's that stopwatch you keep clicking?

13. ZO

    Zelda Okonkwo-ReyesIt's never been started. I click it for comfort, Hank, and I bill the clicking separately.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSunday we get an extra hour and you charge four thousand dollars for it. Rating: one star, for the oven clock tip.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSunday we gain an hour, and Ms. Okonkwo-Reyes has already billed it. The oven clock tip was extra.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRex, it's yours. I'll be here. I'm always here.
