Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Stop worrying about her. She's not lost. She's okay. A woman reported missing by her family in Texas has been found living amongst the lost African tribe in the Scottish woodlands.

Yeah, you heard me right. The kingdom of Kubala claimed they have settled in a forest in Jedboro with the intention of reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors in the Highlands 400 years ago. The trio consists of a group leader, King Athene, 36, who was previously an opera singer

under the name of Kofi Uff, his wife, Queen Nandi, and their handmaiden as not. Amorpha phallus. No, they're not named that. It has now emerged that as not, uh lady sapphi and is cora taylor from texas who has been reported missing by her family here in the united states and she said to the u k authorities obviously i'm not missing okay uh she sent a video message

from the camp leave me alone i'm an adult not a hapless child okay all right and so the group said We didn't recognize. We don't recognize local laws. We'd faced persecution from those who don't understand our ways. They've been served eviction notices and have even suffered an attack on their camp when their tents were set on fire. Yeah, there were no guns, just fire. But instead of bowing to local enforcement, they say they only recognize the laws of their God named Yahawa.

So just be it just know that your girl from Texas, Corolla Taylor, is not lost. She is found. And she is in Scotland reclaiming her lost African tribe roots being the handmaiden of the king and queen of this new group. I mean, you know, it's. Leave her alone. She's not lost. She's not a helpless child. Just leave her alone.

Okay? Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. If you follow me on X, you know that I posted, I quote, posted, quote tweeted, a story from Colorado. And we have to talk about this

because the post on X said Colorado judge, has sentenced former U.S. Space Force Sergeant, Orest Schur, to 54 years in prison for a shooting a teen in self-defense after the teen stole his car outside his apartment in Aurora, Colorado in 2023. Couldn't be more wrong, okay? He did not, the teen did not steal his car,

and it wasn't in self-defense. Now, I know it's all started because these teens were breaking into his car. but he then chased after them. I mean, he woke up at 11 p.m. I think at night and he heard his car alarm going off. And he went outside and these two teens were attempting to break into his car. He then had his pistol. And when he heard the alarm, he grabbed his pistol, ran outside.

That's when he saw the teens trying to break into his Hyundai Ilauntra. where and then he, you know, started breaking up. They took off. They fled in another car. They saw him. They took off. He jumped in his car and chased them. That was his first mistake, all right?

And I don't know if he was a former space force sergeant prior to this event or after this event. But it's being reported that he was a former U.S. Space Force sergeant. So whether he, I guess it was former because if he was still, if he was still part of the military, then this would be a different, a different case. So I'm sure he was former. It doesn't matter, he should know better, right? They ran off. They were trying to steal his car.

The alarm was going off. He ran outside with his weapon and they took off. So there was no imminent danger of him getting harmed at all, all right? But that's when he jumped in his car, started chasing them. and shooting at them. And he shot the one kid. He damaged the car. He then damaged the car.

He shot the one kid. Continued to fire. No, don't do. That's not funny because he shouldn't have been shooting. We don't need to be promoting gunshots. I mean, that's just wrong. Yeah, no, that's just wrong. So he continued to shoot.

Now, the one kid got shot, ran into offense, and then he finally made it home. home before he went to the hospital. He lived. The other kid did not. And so, yeah, it's not funny. Stop doing that. The young kid died. Oh, gosh. So he should not have chased after them. The whole thing, the whole thing is wrong of what was posted on social media. So don't believe everything you read. Now, that's the whole thing, right? I mean, it's the kids who started this whole process by attempting to break into his car. That was wrong. Absolutely. But he should not have chased after them. Once they ran away,

he should not have chased after them. He faced up to 80 years. He got 54. Just really, really incredible. And, you know, all the people, the family talked, and they tried to, they tried to cover what the teens were doing. Sure, the actions were, you know, called out, but they did. and deserved to die. It's kind of true. I kind of agree with that.

And I know that, you know, they chose deadly against two unarmed teenagers. Well, I mean, he didn't know they were unarmed, but he shouldn't have chased after him. Clearly, he should not have chased after them, period. They hopped in their car and got away. That should have been the end of it. You know, maybe then he calls the police or whatever,

but he should not become the justice and see all on the streets, he did. And it doesn't say any, what I love about this story, though, is, and I don't know why it's this way, but they don't say anything about the kids being young African American criminals. And it's just weird to me that they don't. However, they do say, they quote the one kid who lived saying that no matter what we, I'll never be the same. Okay, well, my first, friend didn't survive at all. And no matter what we did that night, I didn't deserve to be shot. Ouch. And Xavier didn't deserve to die. Okay, well, just to be clear, I'm almost positive that Xavier is a name that would be African American. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. But I'm just saying

that it's, you know, that's how you how you tell maybe this is what happened. And it was a white guy shooting two black kids. He shouldn't have done it. The whole thing is a nightmare. The whole thing is a nightmare. But the premise of him being sentenced for a shooting, a teen in self-defense after the teen stole his car outside his apartment is not true. Okay. None of that is true. So he did deserve to go to jail. Fifty-four years? That seems a little harsh. Seems a little harsh.

But, you know, it was a Hyundai Allentra. And so that is not, the car was not worth 54 years. That's for sure. But, and, you know, rest in peace to the kid. And he absolutely did not deserve to die. But we need to be sure that we have the story correct when we're posting about it, please. We need to check our facts online. Please.

When we post on the internet, please. As long as we're talking about crime, we may as well talk about the crime of putting the Ten Commandments in every school room in Texas schools. Because that is completely wrong, isn't it? Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, federal judge has temporarily blocked several Texas school districts from enforcing a law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. because we just can't have that. It would try to make those kids, you know, actually have a conscience and believe in something.

You don't want that. So the U.S. District Court, Judge Fred Beir, B-E-R-Y, came less, well, it's two weeks. September 1st are supposed to have the Ten Commandments in each school room. The plaintiffs, a group of both religious and non-religious families, Uh-huh. Represented by organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union,

the Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Love them. They sued an array of school districts in July saying the law violated the First Amendment. Huh. The judge, writing that the law favors Christian denominations over other traditions and is likely to burden plaintiffs, exercise of their sincere religious or non-religious beliefs in substantial ways.

Boy, I'd like to see that. How does me looking at the Ten Commandments change the way I believe? Okay, so the law would interfere with parents' rights to guide their children's upbringing and is likely to send an exclusionary and spiritually burdensome message. Yeah, I hate that. Those spiritually burdensome messages. Those burdensome messages are going to go to children whose religious beliefs do not conform to the particular Judeo-Christian version of Scripture

required for the displays. Now, I don't know if the Ten Commandments are going to be how they're going to be written, if they're going to be written on stone hanging in the walls of the schools, if it's just a post-it note hanging on the wall. But if you have to walk by it every day and you see, you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make yourself a carved image. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet. I don't know if it's going to be written like that.

I don't know. But it seems to me that that doesn't do any harm and only good to have people see that and think to themselves, yeah, you know what? I'm not going to murder anybody. It's wrong. It's wrong to do that. You could make a funny argument again. against several of them, no problem.

I have no problem about that. But it's just, I really don't understand the judge's ruling on this, and I'm sure that it will be overturned, and I'm sure that Texas will, they said they were going to appeal it, and it will probably hold up.

All right, so I finally did check on the powerball ticket to see if I was the million dollar winner. And this is going to come as a surprise to you, but I was not. I didn't even win two bucks. And nobody won the jackpot again. So Saturday's drawing of the power ball is 700 million, 316. $3 million. And there was a $2 million winner in Tennessee, and there was a million dollar winner in Michigan and Oklahoma.

But the Texas one that won the last drawing was not me. It was someone else. So congratulations to them. Boy, am I happy for them. And then, of course, you have the mega millions. That drawing is Friday. No one won the drawing last night, so it's $234 million for the megamilions.

I thought the mega jackpot was supposed to go up a lot faster and stronger than it seems to have been. Because it costs me, it's five bucks a pop for the mega ticket now. Powerball's still at, I think, too, for the regular. With the power play, it's three. But the mega is they're charging five bucks a pop now. I thought they were supposed to have bigger jackpots. $234 million, not enough for you, Jeff? No, no, it is not.

So, you know, I just wanted to let you know that I did not win. and the million dollars. I would let you know, too. I did not. I know. It was expected. So I see where Hertz has announced that they're going to start selling used cars

from their rental business on Amazon. That's a good idea. You know, I bought a used car from, and I don't remember the used car company, but I belonged to a credit union 100 years ago. And the credit union had a deal with this rental company. And so they had a big car sale to all the credit union members could go

and you could buy the used car that the rental company had. I drove that car forever, man. I loved that Osmobile. It was an Osmobile. I loved that car. And that was the second choice because I didn't know.

It's coming back to me now. They had all the cars in this field and you're supposed to go out and when you found the car that you liked, you're supposed to stay with the car. No, it was the other way around. It was the other way around. When you found the car, you're like you're supposed to take the tag and bring it back in.

And I was just staying with the car, but somebody had already taken the tag. So then I had to go get another car. But that other car was great. That old was a bill. I loved that car. And I got to paid a great price for it, too. And I don't know what they're going to be selling for on Amazon. But you can now buy the pre-owned vehicles in Dallas.

Houston, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Okay, and more locations coming soon. So I'll let you know if there are any good deals on that, because I might have to check that up, see if there's any pre-owned vehicles there from Hertz that are worth paying the money for. Hopefully they're not, you know, they don't think they're worth a million dollars,

but they probably will. But if you shop at Amazon Autos, you can pick it up at your local Hertz car sales location within three days. all right so there you go there's certified pre-owned so that's all you need to know is that they're certified pre-owned

I thought they were just selling Hyundai vehicles nope not any longer I'll make a deal with Hertz too so that's not a bad idea you might be able to get a good vehicle out of that because I know most people you know they used to say oh people treat rental cars like crap

but they really don't they really don't mean they pretty much take care of them and they don't allow smoking anymore and they'll allow animals in them anymore. And if you have a debit card, that, you know, that's something that now I'm talking, now I'm talking about rent of cars. But that's something that really pisses me off. So if you have a debit card, they will still let you rent a car, but you can't, we just

rented a car from, I think it was budget. And if you rent a car through budget, I think it was budget, with a debit card, they won't let you have the higher-end vehicles. You have to use a credit card. Now, they'll let you rent a car with your debit card, but you can't rent the higher-end cars with a debit card, only a credit card. And I don't, not sure I understand it, except that they're able to use, they can charge the credit card anything they want and still get paid. And a debit card would mean that they would have to go back through the customer if they're going to up-charge. some things on it. So that's probably it. So if you're driving one of the higher end

rent of cars, they can just charge you whatever they want. Oh, no, we need to charge you more. You used the toll here and you used, you didn't bring it back with a full tank of gas. And there's a little dent on it that wasn't documented. We're charging you for that too. And so if they charge your credit card, they get paid. And then you have to fight your credit card. That's got to be it. And that's really kind of, really was kind of agonizing to me that we weren't allowed to get the larger car because it was a debit card.

Make me sick. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. So next month, if you're listening live, today is the 21st of August, 2025. Next month, September, meta is reportedly set to unveil its next generation

smart glass. code named Hypernova. The smart glasses are set to start around 800 bucks for the basic model. All right. At least $200 cheaper than what we thought. Oh, that's great. We thought it was going to be at least a thousand. Oh, okay.

The pair of glasses will reportedly differ from the current meta-ray bands due to the addition of a small augmented reality display in the right lens of the glasses, which will only be visible to the wearer. on this display you'll be able to see many apps and alerts and you'll have control over the content with assistance from the same neural input wristband used to operate meta-orient AI glasses why we just wear a helmet we don't need the glasses what are we doing put the helmet on and cover it at all and you've got everything I just I don't understand okay because the glasses are still going to screw you up the the mini apps with your with the visible only to you You got to look at that and not what's happening in front of you. It's better to have a screen anyway. They didn't discuss it with me. So apparently,

Meta has clearly been buoyed by the success of the Rayban specs. So the major question for Hypernova will be to what extent does it deviate from the current Rayban Smart Glasses model? Yeah, well, if it works and if people are able to deviate and, uh, delineate between live and what's on your screen with the augmented reality display, okay, you know, then I guess it'll work. You know, plus, I don't know this, $800 bucks ain't cheap, all right?

So they better work. They better work. But, you know, would I like to try them? Yes. Do, just be careful as you're walking down the street with your hypernova glasses because if you start looking at your, your screen up in the corner, you'll miss the curb, fall in and get hit by a car.

Yeah, that's what could happen. You could get hit by a car because you're looking at the screen on your eyeglasses. So just be careful out there. You see where yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission sued the operators of L.A. Fitness, alleging they make canceling memberships excessively difficult for consumers, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in unwanted reoccurring fees. I just say it isn't so. A gym?

Making it hard to cancel? According to the complaint, canceling requires consumers to either visit a gym during limited hours to speak with a specific employee or mail a form that is often hard to access online due to a complex login process. Memberships cost anywhere from 30 to $299 a month, depending on the location and involve annual fees. The FTC seeks to court order to ban such. cancellation practices and provide restitution to affected customers.

I think I've had a membership at LA Fitness now that I haven't been able to cancel for 10 years. LA Fitness operators oversee more than 600 locations with over 3.7 million members nationwide. A representative from the fitness company stated the allegations are and were without merit. The lawsuit follows similar cases against Uber 1, Amazon.com, and Adobe. and comes a month after federal appeals court blocked the FTC's click to cancel rule, which would have required businesses to make cancellations easier. Yeah, I don't have a problem. They do need to, I don't know if they need to make it easier,

but it needs to be readily highlighted. So you don't have to click through 80 screens to get to the, hey, I need to cancel you plan. I would say most companies are pretty good. That's the best you're going to get out of me. You can quote me on that. Most companies are pretty good. Except for, let's say, Cracker Barrel, the CEO.

You know, I was looking into the CEO yesterday, Julie Phyllis Messano, when she took the job two years ago. All right. Now, she took the job two years ago, and then she said at the time when she took the job, Cracker Barrel is one of the most iconic brands in the history of American casual and family dining. And I appreciate all that Sandy, the previous CEO, and the board have done to set the company, our team, and me up for success. But you know what? I'm going to change it all. Because six months in is when she implemented this year and a half overhaul plan. and now that's starting to come to fruition because they changed the logo. People were all wound up about that because they took the, you know, the cracker barrel,

the guy on the rocking chair and the barrel away, and they made this bland cracker barrel sign to be their logo. And so people were all wound up about it. She claims that she's got nothing but great feedback around. Uh-huh. Yeah, all her yes people are. saying, yeah, no, it's working great. It looks great. Don't look online, though.

Now, the Cracker Barrel spokesperson said that, well, there's mixed responses to the remodel. As with any change, we recognize that there are maybe a vocal minority who feel differently. Yeah, maybe that vocal minority knows that they don't want you to, you know, lessen the experience going into Cracker Barrel. They don't want the bland Cracker Barrel. They want the regular Cracker Barrel. They want to be able to have the menu, which she's changing the menu as well.

Now, she said she had to go on to Good Morning America, which seemed more like a commercial. It was like a five-minute interview. Are you saying that the time was bought and paid for it, Jeff? I don't know that. I'm just saying it felt like a commercial on Good Morning America for Cracker Barrel. And how everything was wonderful and it's great. And she's got nothing but great feedback and how she went on. She had their big managers meeting and the managers,

the first, all they wanted to talk about was, when can they get a remodel, when can they get new stuff. Yeah, they're not talking about revamping the whole idea behind Cracker Barrel. They're talking about, hey, we need some new furniture. Maybe I need to get some new machinery in the back so it doesn't keep breaking down so I can keep serving the food that people want. Maybe that's what they want.

Maybe I'd like to get some new peg games, okay? That doesn't mean we need to re-change and re-chance. everything. It's just incredible. And so I don't understand the Cracker Barrel Makeover except I guess they tried to be relevant again. They have a new

the, it's called the All the More campaign. Wow, that's fantastic. And so the next time you stop into a cracker barrel, be ready for that bland Cracker Barrel. I mean, we're all used to seeing the iconic Cracker Barrel across the country.

and now it's just going to be this bland every day cracker barrel sign that's just agonizing. And I just don't understand why companies do this, but because I guess when she took over, she felt like she had to make a difference. And that she is definitely doing is making a difference. Target 2. They gave Brian Cornell the boot. I'm sorry, he stepped down yesterday. I mean, they've had 11 consecutive quarters with profits down.

That's not good. Brian, you got to go. Take care. And the stockholders, a little upset that they're giving the job to an inside guy, the guy that's the C-F-O right now, Michael Fiddlich. I think that's how he's pronounced it. F-L-F-D-E-F-D-E-L-K-E, Fidl-K-E, Fidl-E, Fidlick. He's the C-F-O, and he's going to take over in February. And he's already, he's had one on the inside.

So, I mean, he's all part of the deal. I don't know what he's going to change. but he said, you know, in his acceptance speech, where the heck was it? Yeah, I mean, he'd been with the company for 20 years. And so he commented that, well, we need to reestablish merchandising authority. And we need to use technology better and focus on growth and addressing identity crisis. I mean, that's like what any CEO would say. It's pretty generic.

So good luck. We'll see, Target, if you can pull it out. good luck Hey be sure to follow me on my social at Jeffrey JFR on X Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher

Judge Frank Caprio, Judge Frank Caprio, man, we all watched his videos a thousand times by helping people in his courtroom or berating people in his courtroom. He dead at the age of 88. Remember his show caught in Providence? I mean, he was awesome, just a really cool judge. And he spent nearly four decades serving on the Providence Municipal Court, earning a reputation for fairness, humor, and humanity that endeared him to both defendants and viewers around the world.

Yeah, well, he posted not long ago, he was really sick, and he posted for everyone to pray for him, and we did, and he got better, but then he had a relapse, and he posted a video not too long before he actually passed away, that he had a relapse, and he was really sick, and he was asking everyone for prayers. He didn't sound good. And, I mean, I'm sure he sounded as well as he could.

But, and then there was news that he passed away. So very sad. Rest in peace to Judge Frank Caprio dead at the age of 88. Then we have, well, six unnamed individuals because we found six severed heads by the side of the road in Massachusetts. Mexico in what they claim is one of Mexico's safest regions. Okay. With a chilling message in one.

So six severed heads were found by the side of the road. Hey, what is that over there? Oh, those are severed heads. Oh, never mind. So the mail remains were discovered by a road linking the central Mexican states of Pueblo and Tickaxala. They said alongside the heads was a pamphlet. blaming the savage killings on the settling of scores between rival gangs. Oh, so I guess that that's okay then.

We're not even worry about it. And of course, we're going to, you know, we'll have an investigation. And we had six male head, limbs. That's what we had. So that's all we had of them. We don't know where the rest of the body parts are or anything like that. We'll figure them out. We'll figure out who they are, maybe.

So I don't know that it had anything to do With the 26 high-ranking cartel figures that Mexico sent to the United States As part of a deal with Trump to put you know ratchet up pressure on the criminal networks So did that have anything to do with that? I don't know I just know we are starting to put a cringe On the on the cartels and now you know these gangs down in Mexico are fighting back between each other.

So let them fight amongst themselves. But stay there. Stay in Mexico. Don't be coming up here. Because if you're coming up here, then we're going to put an end to it. So I'm hoping. And we don't know that the severed heads are,

if they're Mexican or American. We just don't know. It's a rest in peace. To the six severed heads, unknown humans that they, that they were. Yeah, so yesterday I did the story about the mom and the son who saved the dad's tattoo, the Pittsburgh Steeler tattoo, and they had it taken care of,

and they sent it to, it was a special preservation kit provided by the Ohio-based company Save My Inc. Forever. And they sent it off before the husband and father's dad was cremated, and they took care of it. Today, I guess the algorithm heard me talking about it, which happens quite often. And now I'm getting another story about how the Ohio-based company Save My Ink Forever, which removes a corpse's tattoo skin, treats it, and then returns the tattooed skin to the deceased loved ones. The end project will look closer to aged parchment paper than the horror.

It currently hangs behind a framed museum quality glass in the homes of thousands of customers. So, I mean, that's kind of cool. Business is picking up, and anytime they can get a story, in the news, then they need to promote themselves, and that's good for Save My Ink Forever out of Ohio. If you have a loved one with a tattoo that you want to save when they pass away, get a hold of Save My Ink Forever. You know what I find this interesting?

A growing number of Americans are living with advanced stage cancers. Huh. Managing them like chronic illnesses rather than the death sentences, they once were. Yeah, I mean, we've come a long way that, that is for sure. The U.S. is home to 18 million people

who have survived the disease. I guess we're talking about cancer? I mean, there's so many cancers. So that number is expected to reach 26 million by 2040. Wow. Nearly 700,000 are living with stage four diagnoses of the six most common cancers,

melanoma, breast, bladder, colorectal prostate or lung cancer Wait, so 700,000 are living with stage four melanoma, breast cancer, bladder, colorectal prostate, and lung cancer. Wow. I wonder, I'm not going to be the cause of that. The federal data show that the greater number of patients

are living at least five years longer than they were two decades ago. Doctors credit better diagnostic tools for recognizing cancers earlier, as well as the expanding number of therapies to treat them after a diagnosis. Yeah, I mean, that's for sure. Cancer claims more than 600,000 lives in the U.S. every year impacting countless more loved ones, while medical efforts to bring down those numbers continue to advance and may not help more patients survive, may still find themselves in a cycle of ongoing treatment. One that can take a financial and emotional toll, and as one doctor put it, the experience

our patients go through is much more complicated. Uh, yeah, doctors tow the line of transparency and optimism. They're also entering new territory when it comes to treatment. One oncologist treating lung cancer said his patients are living long enough to now worry about their cardiovascular health. And that's a good problem to have. Okay. All right.

I mean, that's good. I'm glad we're, I'm glad we're working out and we're keeping it going. Now, the numbers are still pretty darn large. And I'd like to, I mean, this is what we're, this is, make America healthy again, right? Oh, right, because the food that we couldn't be causing that. Or the, you know, the vaccines and stuff that we put in our system couldn't be causing any of this. They would have said that in this story. Well, the story really wasn't about that, was it, Jeff?

No, it wasn't. It was about how we're getting used to living with cancer. Huh. I wonder why that is. Huh. When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.

At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winters? Stop wondering.

Winners find fabulous for less. Transcripts from the sex trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein will remain sealed after a federal judge in New York denied the Justice Department's request to release them. So can you stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein? I'm sick of hearing about him. It was all a hoax. Just don't believe anything you hear about Jeffrey Epstein, okay? Sure. Jelaine is still in prison, but never mind.

He's dead and there's no reason to keep talking about him. Okay. All right. I see where, did he live in Coral Gables? I know he lived down in Florida, down in that neck of the woods. Because I was reading about this Coral Gables neighborhood that is not, and it bumps up. It's now gone, become the priciest neighborhood. in America.

Oh, nice. Beverly Hills. No, not you any longer. Sorry about it. Coral Gables. So I guess, thanks to tax assessments and real estate transactions, they found that these, the place in Coral Gables

is the place to be. Currently, it has five homes listed for sale, $17.5 million to $554.9 million. There are 179 homes, averaging over 55,000 square feet. Now, let's see. Almost every home is considered beachfront property with private access to Miami's warm ocean waters.

Dozens of homes are equipped with ports ready for megajots, giant pools, obsessively manicured lawns. Yeah, hello. And after paying high-law, I'm expected to pay upwards of $250,000 annually in Homeowners Association fees. Holy cow, yeah, no, I'm not doing that. But if you're paying that money for there, then that's, you know,

the homeowners association fee is, you know, nothing to you. Right, I guess Bezos lives down there? Yeah, there you go. Bezos, I think he owns like two or three big lots down there. Ken Griffin is down there. Peter Thiel is down there. Yeah, they're all buying up that place at Coral Gables. So if you're not listening, living in Coral Gables, you are nothing these days, okay?

Nothing. So I watched a sports center the other night, or at least clips of it, because Rich Eisen, you know, when he did Sports Center, you know, 20 years ago, and they were reporting about everybody loved Rich Eisen doing Sports Center. And I'm kind of a side fan of Rich Eisen. I don't know. I'm told my son tells me that I should like him because he, my son said that he reminds him of me. Okay.

So maybe that's why. I never really liked him. Anyway, I like Rich Eisen. I like the work that he does, and he's, you know, he's absolutely knocking it out of the park as far as, you know, NFL network and ESPN and everything that he does.

So, so he did SportsCenter, and they were promoting how great it was and how many viewers he got. And I thought, those are the, oh, that's only the, okay, so according to this, his return Monday night to SportsCenter, first time in 20 years,

got 7,8,000 viewers. That's all SportsCenter is getting. And then it says that's 67% above the average from the year to date. So he got, that means that they're only getting 300,000? Right, half of 708,000 is 350. And now you drop that down a little bit more at 67%. So, I mean, somewhere around 300,000? Wow.

holy cow so I mean that's the most of viewed 11 p.m. Sports Center since mid-June and Eisen hasn't done it since 2003 and in 2003 his average show was 670,000 so I mean the numbers have gone so far down on Sports Center so apparently

everyone wants Rich Eisen to come back to ESPN and do do Sports Center and I guess since NFL Network is now part of ESPN that can happen I don't I don't know what's going on over there. McAfee is on ESPN, but he's not, and he hasn't been there all week.

And I don't know what's going on. His cold crowd is there. His team is there. He's at a fill-in main host in place of Pat McAfee. I don't know what's going on. Maybe we need to start where in the world is Pat McAfee? I don't know, but he's not there. And so maybe it's part of the deal with ESPN.

You know, they started their new streaming app today, the all-encompassing app from ESPN. which is kind of annoying to me. That's worrisome because I'm not sure what I'm going to end up having to pay because this new app, they say will include live streams of all 12 of the network's channels

at 2999 a month. And the streaming service, and so they're going to host WWE and what have you. But okay, so all 12 channels for 2999 a month. But I have Hulu, which is going away, going to Disney Plus. So I have the Disney. plus package through Hulu,

I better not be able to charge me another fortune for this because I feel like a fortune is going to be charged and I don't want a fortune to be charged. And you can quote me on that. I don't want a fortune to be charged. I just want to watch

football, okay? That's all I want. All right, let's get out of here. I've been doing Pat Gray Unleashed every day this week and plus I'm coming in here and doing two in the fat too. I give and I give and I give. My gosh, you're welcome.

Okay, I'm working this tongue to the bone for you. I know, I know. It's okay. So the joke of the day, it's Denny's Week. You know what, it's Denny's Week, not the restaurant, but it should be the restaurant since, you know, their cracker barrels going away. They're making Cracker Barrel look like every other restaurant in America.

Why do that? It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, Denny's, He's been busy sending jokes. And so, okay, we'll keep him going. Cars these days have too many gadgets. I tried to reverse, and it played a video of somebody getting run over by a car. True story.
