A story I've been meaning to get to that has been, I hear people mention it almost every place I go. And I go, man, I travel the planet. You know that. I travel everywhere. So I've been hearing people talk about the Storm Area 51 event. So hundreds of thousands of people have signed up to this Facebook event. It's September 20th. They're supposed to meet at 3rd.

3 a.m. on September 20th out in, around Area 51 to storm Nevada, yeah, to storm it. So, first of all, the guy who started the thing already said it was a joke. It's not real. Eh! It's not real. Second, do I want 200,000 dimwits storming Area 51 and getting the answer to that would be, yes, I do. I want that to happen. desperately. I also think it would be funny if they start storming and little aliens come out and start zapping them with the alien guns. We know nothing.

There are no aliens here. There are no aliens here. We are gone. I mean, people have tried to get into Area 51 before. And what's happened? Yeah. So good luck. God bless.

And I didn't realize we're not going to shoot $250,000. But you drop a couple. are going to stop, right? And it's going to be, the sign's posted. The sign is posted. So, go ahead. Storm Area 51. You okay?

So, I look up with 13 Philadelphia police officers that have been suspended for offensive Facebook posts. Those bastards. How dare they? Be careful on your social media, man. We've talked about it before on this show how your social media posts are being watched. It's funny because... And they all go back. If you said something 20 years ago, it doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter. On the memories, you know, like every... For me on Facebook, every morning. It pops up a year ago, five years ago, three years ago. So I look at them. Yeah, I started to delete some. Really? Oh, I was very offensive.

Huh. Especially, I've seen that anything six, eight, ten years ago? Yeah. Oh. So those of you that are friends with Chris Cruz on Facebook, you may want to scroll through before his memories pop up. And I would say, let me use the compound word screenshot so that any deletion that takes place from Chris Cruz, you still have.

Just a thought. You don't have anything in your background, baby? Nope. Oh, my gosh. Chris Cruz. Chris Cruz. My life has been an open, freaking book on this network. An open book on this network. I'm one of the few people in America that is a network has used to fat shame.

A network is used to stupid shame. A network is used to just shame. Go ahead. Go ahead. Tell me how bad can your Facebook fence be? It can't. It can't. I don't even want to hear it.

On top of which, as long as I'm on the subject of getting ticked off. So if you were at Trump's rally last night, don't you play the music yet? If you were at Trump's rally last night and you were shouting send her back, you are all racist. That's what the mass media is telling you right now.

I mean, you are all racist. However, what they don't realize is that's why he's going to get reelected in 2020. Careful. You're right at the line, baby. You're right at the line. They're right at the line. They'll get you point across quick.

I'm just saying, I know I don't want to talk politics. I'm chewing the fat, but I'm just saying that's why he's going to get reelected in 2020. If you'd like to know another reason why he's going to get reelected, don't you play, don't, I see you reaching for that button. Just stop. I'm going to play one thing, why he's going to get reelected in 2020.

Imagine what it could have been. If we didn't have the witch hunt, you said it. What was that? I won't say it because it's a her. It's a terrible one. Yeah. So I will not say that this guy said if we didn't have the bullshit. That's right.

That's why Donald Trump is going to be reelected in 2020. That's exactly why. Biden, Harris, Pajala, Indian woman, Pocahontan. You can all talk about your Bernie Sanders, Buttigieg. You can all talk about everything you want. When you hear that music, that means I've gone too political and I have to stop talking. In other news, on chewing the fat. A recent survey of 3,000 kids.

3,000 kids, all right? They were asked, kids 8 to 12. They were asked to choose from five professions. professions to which they wanted to be when they grew up. All right? They're 8 to 12 year old kids. There's going to be an astronaut,

a musician, a professional athlete, teacher, or vlogger YouTuber, all right? The top choice among kids in the U.S. and the U.K.,

YouTuber. 56%. Kids in China, they want to be an astronaut. I mean, they don't have the internet, really. The internet's being monitored. They can't, they're not going to be a YouTuber. They lose points when they log into social media.

Excuse me, are you a YouTuber in China? Yes, I am. No, no, you're not. We don't have any YouTubers in China. What do you mean? I thought I saw somebody just post something the other day on YouTube in China. Nope, don't have any YouTubers in China. So number two across the board, China, UK, US, teacher.

Stop it. I don't believe it. That's a good occupation. I don't believe it. Yeah. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Number two, that's only because they were, these are eight to 12.

They're being in class. No. Yeah, sure. I want to be a teacher. Sure. Okay, teachers pet. Wow. Teachers pet.

Wow. Wow. All right, so number three. And, ooh, UK and U.S. number three, professional athlete. Musician for China. Of course. Musician and professional athlete was fourth in China, and musician was fourth in U.S. in United Kingdom.

And vlogger, YouTuber was the last fifth place in China. And exactly the opposite. The United States. Astronauts. Yeah, no. It wants to be an astronaut. We don't have any. We don't have any, right?

It's been, yeah, we don't have an astronaut person. It's been dozens of years, if not, you know, decades since we've had astronauts. Yeah, right. 50 years. So, and when the astronauts, if they do come to your school and talk, that's ancient history, man. And those astronauts that come to the ones that are in training that haven't still gone to other space. they still call themselves astronauts. That's not really fair.

I know. Sounds fair for Neil Armstrong or the other guy. That's not really fair. Did you see Neil? Was it Neil that punched the guy? You see the video of Neil Armstrong punching the reporter? The reporter that was trying to say what a liar he was and that he didn't go to the moon and it was all faked.

And Neil tried to get away from him and walk away. And then he finally just punched him in the face. Fantastic. Fantastic video. If you get an opportunity to see it, I mean, it's great. I love it. So the economy is doing great.

Don't reach for the music with your little, it's not political. I'm not going down the greatest ever, a little road. I'm just saying that last year, the U.S. lost 5,864 stores. Now, it opened 3,258 stores. So far this year, we're halfway through, a little bit more than halfway through. 7,062 stores have closed. Oh, wow.

Now, again, this year, so far, we've opened 3,017 stores. But amazing. Retail closures this year could easily double last year's total. beyond like 12,000 stores. That is pretty amazing. Now, is it because of just online sales? Is it the brick and mortar completely dying? I mean, I just, I'm not quite sure what's causing it.

Because like, there's a list of all these stores that have shut down. CBS has folded 46 stores so far this year. What a shame. Sorry to see those stores. closed down. But there's a bunch of stores in here that you think, well, yeah, that's about time. Like, Pier 1 imports. Yeah, when's the last time you've been into a Pier 1 import store?

Seriously. I mean... When they were closing down the one over here by the North Dallas, the only reason why I was because everything was 75% off. Okay. And I bought me like a couple plates and wine glasses. They could close up to an additional 57 stores this year. That's more than 900 stores that they've shut down.

because look you're gonna where are you gonna get the stuff that you get at Pier 1 you will get that online right you will buy that online Amazon I mean you're gonna see it on Pinterest and you're gonna order it Amazon you're gonna see it on Pinterest you're gonna you know you're gonna run into Walmart and get it you're not absolutely if you see it on Pinterest you're not running to Walmart pick it up absolutely not just that's what you do you know you don't like that because Walmart responded to you so no you no don't do that whole whole Walmart no no Stop it. I love Walmart.

I'm a fan. No, I know. But if you see something on Pinterest, on the second tab, you go to Amazon. Pinterest, oh, is that a beautiful chair? Run into Walmart and get it. No, you go to Amazon. Or you just go to Walmart.com and just definitely not going to Walmart.com and they'll deliver it for you.

Or you can just stop by the store and pick it up. No, you're not doing that. Zipping at Walmart.com. You know what? I'll pick it up at the store right around the corner. Amazon will be. at your door in two hours. I mean, Walmart will be at your door in...

Three days. 48 hours. Now, they're on a couple days planned now, I think. They're trying to catch up. They're trying, yes. Or you can get it faster if you just, like I said... Pick it up. Yeah, you say, I want it from you guys.

But if you put any orders after six, you can't pick it up until the day after. I know. You know another thing that ticks me off to? Is that they have... They've got to find a way, say, like Sam's Club, but even Walmart, with their grocery pickup, which I'm a fan.

I use it. I'm a fan. But you have to think too far ahead. Yes. Because if I, like if right now today, if I say, oh, you know what? I want Sam's Club tomorrow. All right. So I log into Sam's Club.com and I place my order.

And then it says, not available until. So today's Thursday if you're listening live to the podcast. You can listen live. No, the people that are listening live to the podcast right now. I'm not out of the camera because nobody's listening to you or looking at you. because this is pre-recorded. We pre-recorded it on today, Thursday. It is about one central...

That's what I'm saying. So you're listening live. You're listening live. You would order on Sam's stuff. They would tell you, you know, they can't get it for you tomorrow morning. Maybe, maybe tomorrow afternoon. But you're not getting it today, for sure. You're not getting it tonight before the store closes.

And you'd be lucky to get it by tomorrow afternoon. All right. You're lucky to get... Because they're so busy. I understand. It's a great future. Yeah, yeah. But they've got to find a way.

to, I don't know that there is a way, actually, unless they hire me and I could figure it out for them, a way to up that, you know, to make it faster. And I'm not real sure, not real sure how to do that. Unless you just, unless they open up a couple of stores in prime areas that are just pick up. Okay, so you don't get, you don't have, you're not able to go in and pick up stuff yourself, it's just pickup. So all the merchandise in the store would be just for pickup. That could be doable.

But if you needed something quick, Aldi. No. Aldi isn't even close to Sam's Club or... No, no, you're right. You're right. Even close. You're right. You're right.

But yesterday I needed some pot rose seasoning and I forgot to pick it up at Walmart and then Aldi was there for me. And by the way, Walmart at them because I place an order. They charged me for a bag of potatoes. Didn't have a bag of potatoes. Whoa.

Three of my eggs were cracked open and my bread was squished. Now they're going to take care of it for you, obviously. No, because I missed my refund window. What? Yep. I'm so pissed. What do you mean you missed your refund window? So I ordered it and then I got it.

I don't know about this refund window because I have not had a problem. I didn't know that. I thought like, okay, I had an issue. So I ordered it once today, Thursday. Order on Wednesday night. I picked it up. No, older than Tuesday and I picked it on Wednesday morning. Okay.

So I got home, everything. So yesterday I'm cooking. And in the afternoon, boop, you miss your refund window. There's nothing we could do. Sure, there is. Cover the damage. Yes, I'm like, there's three eggs. And then, oh, well, we don't know when that happened because it's after a rip-front window.

Yes, I went and destroyed three eggs, squished my bread, and left my potato bags in your little air. In the basket. Yeah, in the basket. the blue basket they roll out with. That's exactly what I did. Oh, so mad. So man. That's kind of crappy.

But now again, they give you the rules, right? The rules are there. Yes. And it's our fault for missing it. Yes, it is. And then now it wouldn't happen again because I'm going to get down of my car and I'm going to start looking at it. See, I don't want to have to do that.

Exactly. I didn't want to do that. I never had an issue. That's like going through the drive-through. Yes. I was like going through the drive-thru. Why do I just get the order right? Because okay

Just get the order right And there by the way There are some drive-thrus That are much better than others I'll give you that Because you know It's employee driven And there's some stores

That you think You never have to check Chick-fil-A for one Chick-fil-A, yep Chick-fil-A is usually Really good 100% The only thing that chick-flay does But I have had an issue

Not long ago At a Chick-fil-A The very first time I was so bummed So bummed You know what's funny Is that Chick-filet for me

They don't mess up They just give me extra stuff because what I usually do, I order a meal, and everybody else just gets the a la carte. So, like, I order, like, the chicken nuggets, and then I'll get a chicken sandwich, but I'm getting a chicken sandwich, but they think they're all meals, so I just get waffle fries or the hodge browns. And, of course, you give them back because they didn't pay for them. I didn't pay for them, so I give them back.

Absolutely. Because that would be wrong if you were to just drive away. No. As soon as I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is not mine. Here you go. Did you give me more than what? I paid for? Here, take this back. Okay. But sir, we're going to throw it away. I do not want it because they did not pay for it.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Another store that's closing down, Jimbury. You ever been there? Jimberys? 749 stores closing down after declaring bankruptcy in January. Wow. That's like children's place. Wow, yeah. Yeah, this is, you don't need those stores. No, you don't. You don't. You absolutely got Amazon.com. James. A chain, dress barn. Amazon.com.

Yeah. I mean, there's 600. And Amazon that got a cool feature where you order a box of clothing, you keep whatever you want,

the rest of me send a back. That's not just Amazon. There are plenty of companies that do that now. Yes. I used to belong to a men's club, something. Whatever it is.

Yeah. Because you have the shave clubs. Yeah. All those clubs are great. Absolutely. So those stores are no longer needed. Go away. I'm sorry.

Now, go away. I think that we should have one. And this is just, this is just a million dollar idea you could use it thanks to me there doesn't exist right now all right now you have the you have the clothes dressing that you get you get a shirt and pants and belt and shoes and socks and underwear and whatever else you want in your little box and if it fits and you like it you

keep it if you don't you send it back and you pay for it whatever yeah it's good idea however what they don't have is a fat guy box and they need there needs to be a fat guy box like that and i honestly am thinking about starting it up why would it be a I don't understand why it would be a a crate does your the clothing that you're wearing right now

because you look very sharp today thank you for dressing off for your show um they could see that um that doesn't fit if they're watching live right now they're not because it's pre-recorded audio only I usually don't wear a white shirt but I had to go to a

few talk about it later yes I will yeah but you know what you weren't today that doesn't fit on a box it could fit like a nice little crate Yeah, a nice little crate. I mean, I'm not sure there are different size boxes. No, no, no, no, no, it has to be a normal,

no, you just need a crate for yours. Yeah, you can't fit that in the box. I'm sorry to say this. Are you wearing socks today? Yeah, is he definitely a crate. Are there the tube socks or like the short socks? Oh, there's my Ralph Lorenz. Oh, definitely, yes.

You know, I don't wear any other socks than Ralph Lauren. Are you kidding me? What is this? Well, I didn't ask to, what brand. I didn't ask what brand of socks. I mean, either the tall ones or the little short ankle ones. No,

the ankle ones are the white ones. Those are the little white ones that you wear with your tennis shoes, with your sports shoes. So I see everybody making fat jokes now. So go ahead and tell me what they are. They suggest that a shipping container. A shipping container, yeah.

Yeah. There's a little large for people. You know, I have a shipping container. I said that's too much. Talk about fat shaving. I said that's too much. Your fat shipping container is here

with your set of clothes. It gets air lifted, air dropped. That's unique. It is unique. This is a million dollar idea. It is a million dollar idea, but it wasn't meant to cost you

a million dollars each delivery. Oh, you meant like it could profit you a million dollars. Yes. That's amazing. That is a million dollar idea, though. I'm telling you. There's no big guy fat clothes delivered like that.

And trust me when I tell you, if there was, us fat people would buy it. Because it's the worst thing in the world to go. There's money. Just you? That's funny. So what would you do? How far would you go? All the way. If you knew your wife was cheating on you.

All the way. How far would? how far would you go in anger? All the way. So a Florida man has been taken into custody. After he allegedly used a pair of scissors, and I didn't use a gun, to cut off the penis of the man he believed

was sleeping with his wife. Guilty, guilty, guilty. You do not deserve that penis. Are you guilty that you would do that? Yes. Really? Absolutely. Because it's not all his fault.

It doesn't matter. Why do you stook your thing into her thing? And then now you... Yeah. You can't be serious. I am. Jeffrey, what did I tell you that I did to the guy that was cheating? No, I don't talk to me about your real life.

Exactly. So do you think I'm not going to go as far as doing that to the guy? Yeah. That's a long way. That's a big step. Yes. From what I did. Because you knew. Yes.

If you wanted... I mean, we could talk about it if you want. I don't care. But I mean... I pulled the gun on the guy that was cheated on my ex-wife. All right. So, right. right okay but you didn't do anything beyond that because you knew it was wrong but

but when you cut the penis off are you killing him uh yes yes is he dead is he dead read me the story is that guy dead and the man died other way the hospital it's over the end that's all the story it's all the story says no it's not you do not read that fast first of all yeah no what no it says right there it says done what it says that in the way the hospital said Alex knows arrested and his neighbors and former deputies said he used a pair of scissors to remove

his penis he ran from the home still holding the severed organ and the guy died and the guy died that's the end of the story I didn't think so you think that's too far?

I'll see the end of the story actually it doesn't say if they sewed it back or not. That's a, this is a dumb story. Why wouldn't I say,

I was expecting, that's why I was expected to say that the guy sewed back on. He's got a long, he's got a long rehab. Yeah. Wait a minute.

He says, well, he was going to please him caught the neighbor with his wife. So the victim's president of the home of an attack. Uh,

he was charged with two counts of cruelty toward a child. One kind of burglary, aggravated assault, false imprisonment. Okay, keep going. So they didn't you charge him with a cut into penis.

Wednesday on Wednesday, stressed that the alleged attack had been unisolated as there was no danger present to any says, well, no kidding. Thank you. Not guilty. But it doesn't say what, it doesn't say what happened to the guy. There's a story's not about the penis. It's always about the guy

cutting it off. Cutting it off and that's his wife was cheating. Exactly. But why doesn't say what happened to Ross of a penis man? I mean, we have to find out what happened to the man. Hold on. We'll be

right back. Please hold. Your listenership is very important to us. We'll be with you momentarily. Please hold. The internet is moving slow. We're trying to open other stories. Okay, thank you for holding. We appreciate it.

I mean that with every ounce of being in me. All right, so the guy threatened to kill the man if he resisted, told the man's bedroom, tied him up, and then forcefully cut his penis off with the scissors. Okay. I mean, that is... Ouch.

You aren't lying. I mean, that is more than... Ouch. He deserved the ouch. Should not be seeking that thing under that thing. So he took off with it after he cut it off. What is you supposed to do with it? He threw it on the floor?

Yes. Put it on an ice box. Yeah, something. Come on. No, you walk out with it. It's like your victory. It's your like. Officials did not specify what happened to the victim's thing.

The victim remains in the hospital. Oh, he fed it to the alligators. Right. He threw it in the trash or something where they don't know where it is. So now we have a bolo on a penis. Yes, we do. So if you're driving in Florida and you run across this little thing, we don't know what it is.

we don't know what if you run across this little thing and you think to yourself you know that kind of looks like a uh it might be okay have you seen the footage of the guy flying uh uh obviously in an airplane he was flying and uh the footage shows him scanning through the video screen with his feet he's got bare feet and he's using his he's using his feet to you know scroll left and right and and go through the choices now in the picture you can't tell if the person doesn't have any arms, you know, if he's armless. So if he's armless, that's what you can't be mad, right? You can't. That's, you can't.

The video just shows this person using his feet to scroll through the screen left and right, and people are all wound up about it. It's a bear foot on the plane. Oh, my God. It's gross. We've got to disinfect everything. Do you? Yes.

Do you? Do you? Jeff Fisher. Stop it. Oh, my gosh. My feet right now in the socks, in the shoes. If I took my socks off and started scrolling through a video screen, they're cleaner than my hands. Yes?

What? I'm not touching that. Can you say that I'm wrong? Yes, I can say you wrong. You can say I'm wrong. I can say you wrong. How am I wrong? Because it's your feet.

Are gross. I think that's just a common misconception. No, Jeffrey, no. Once I'll ask me watch your feet. every day when I shower exactly how many times do you watch your hands

well more than once there you go multiple times there you go but I haven't used my feet after I was something I covered them up they're sweaty I mean

I would say you don't know that but I'm me so of course you know they're sweaty a little part of my body that's sweaty anything else you need me to bring up I went to the

I went to the the National Cemetery this morning. I just let you know. The National Cemetery in Dallas, Dallas, Arlington. I went to Arlington. So in D.C.?

Yeah, yeah, here in Texas. And it was a little warm out there. It's like you know. It's a surprise, I know. It's a little warm out there. I didn't realize. It just, all right, well, I got to wrap up the feet

then we'll get to the cemetery. But I know. I think it's more mental than anything, really. people use in their feet. I don't mind feet. I love feet. But you can't tell in this video if the person

doesn't have any arms. You know what I mean? So if the person doesn't have any arms, that's how they work, right? That's how that's the deal. That's what you do. No, you get freaking robot arms and then you scroll with your robot arms.

Or you have, you don't have a due person. Oh, you have a, thank you. You get a due person. The flight attendant is I was who they get paid for. Hey, I don't have arms. Scroll. Hey, I don't have arms. Can you scroll?

Can you scroll? Yes. And odds are they're going to do it. They have to do it. Right? Odds are they're going to do it. There's no odds on this. They have to do it.

You press that little, I need to scroll out and have arms. You can't say no. I'll be as you can. I'll be right with you, sir. In fact, would you need me again, raise your hand. Oh, I'm sorry.

No, you can't do that. I mean, raise your foot. Hold on. I don't have a hand. So how am I dinging the button? With your foot. Right? You're reaching your leg up there to hit the button.

Wow. Now, on top of this, I will say that even it would seem to me, that even, and I don't know this for a fact, but this is the person is 100% barefoot, all right? You'd think maybe he'd have some kind of. Socks? Some kind of glove, you know, some kind of stretching nylon or something over his foot, you know? Like a sock? I don't know how he'd put it on.

Yeah, he got no harm. You just need a do person. I think the bottom of the story is like either a due person or just stay at the house. Don't travel. Your handicap. You stay at your house. No. No, honey.

No. If you don't have a due person, you can't make other people do your things. Sure. But he's living his life. What kind of life is up with no arms? A great life. You can use his legs and he can participate in everything that we do. Obviously he can't.

Wow. Just stop to speaking. Stop. Stop. Mr. I'm handicapped. Mr. I'm handicapped you. Yes, and? And you're bashing handicapped people?

Yes. We're done. All right, I got to go to the break room. I need a Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and a little something special for you. So last week, I saw a tweet that mentioned a limited edition flavor of birthday cake fruit loops is now available at Walmart. And so I had to quote tweet it. I mean, it's someone's birthday. Just needs milk.

Walmart responded. Who needs an excuse? P.S. We sell milk. So we sell it. So as long as we're in the break room for chewing the fat and Pat Gray for some reason is still wandering around the building. I figure, hey, why not try Fruit Loops birthday cake with Pat? Might as well.

Right? So now, this is an incredible sacrifice I'm making to try this with you because I'm far for me to ever eat something like Fruit Loops, birthday cake cereal. Well, you were quick to point out while we were getting ready to go on here, that Fruit Loops has been around. For quite some time. Yeah. And it was the birthday cake portion of that that's supposed to be extraordinary. And you're like, well, yeah, that's the birthday cake.

Well, yeah, I just did the dumb drumstick cereal with you, which tasted nothing like drumstick ice cream. Cones. Very disappointing. Really. And so we'll see if this tastes like birthday. So we ran out to Walmart and we got the birthday cake fruit loops and we got the great value milk. That's the great value of milk from Walmart. Shut up and eat. Still in date.

Okay. Milk goes on. Ooh. No snap crackle pop though. There you go. Try a dry one. Is that the frosting flavor? Not bad.

Does it taste like cake? I'm kind of a fan of fruit loops anyway. Yeah, fruit loops are pretty good. Yeah, no bad. Happy birthday shoe someone. Happy birthday shoot someone. Um, kind of tastes like birthday cake.

Yes. This takes more like cake than the other cereal tasted of drumsticks. Drumsticks, no doubt about that. Uh-huh. Yeah, this does have a little bit of, a little bit of cake. Sort of. Uh. Now, this is, this is strawberry birthday cake.

flavored with other natural flavors. So, got to be good for you. And there's nothing unnatural in here? Oh, this is like health food. It's got to be good for you, right? Got to be good for you. This is like health food.

That's unbelievable. 150 calories for a box. 210 if you put a little milk on it. For the whole box? Yeah. It's one serving, right? Yes. Thank you.

What do they consider a serving? Mm. One third of a cup. That's about what we You can't One third of a cup is not a You never want to look at how big the serving It really is

You never want to look at the portion size Inside this box is 8,000 servings I know It's really depressing when you look at the serving size Because it's like Two bites Two bites is 400 calories Chocolate is good for you

If you have dark chocolate every day One serving One little square Oh Oh, okay. Uh-huh. This isn't too bad, though. No, it's not bad.

Not bad. It's not my favorite cereal of all time. But it's not bad. No, it's worth it. It does taste a little bit like birthday cake, I guess. And if you're willing to, you know, if you want to start the, if it's a birthday day celebration for one of the kids, you get them fruit loops and start the day out, happy birthday with the cereal and move on to the cake at night. Don't do without the cake. Don't do it.

I'd give it a 12. Really? Wow Yeah, you know Somewhere in there I mean is that higher or lower than you thought I'd be alright Oh

I don't know around there Yeah Around there That's about right You can't even say 18 anymore Pathetic It's pathetic

Why do you even do this So anyway I mentioned going to the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery today I had never been out to the National Cemetery here in Dallas, Fort Worth, and it is an amazing cemetery.

Beautiful, as beautiful as a cemetery can be. And they, before I tell you the reason I was out there, they run that place like a machine, man. I mean, they have funerals and processions going like almost every 20 minutes, and they have three lanes,

and, I mean, those people run it, amazingly. So I asked the lady today, she was pushing us out of the committal area that they take you to for the services. You're not actually graveside, but you're in the middle of the graves. And it's where they, you know, they fold the flag and they take the flag off the casket. And you, we also did something today that I hadn't done before that I thought was great. And it's probably a military thing and so it was very very cool um but uh she said that they're doing 26 funerals today and they usually do 30 that is almost unbelievable now I'm guessing that it's Monday through Friday not Saturday and Sunday but I don't know that I'm going

to look into it because, man, that is a lot of military funerals. Whether it's, you know, old, young ones that were serving and passed away or ones that had served. And I mean, it's just that that's a lot of funerals. And that's an amazing number to think about. But I was out there because of a friend of ours, Michael McAulis, who passed away last week. He was 58 years old. such a force of nature and it was very sad.

We became friends with him and his family since we moved to Texas. And we became really close. I mean, we went to different events the last few years together with our families and separately as adults and the kids. It was just, it was very sad when he started to get sick. last year and he fought it to the end and I just wanted to rest in peace and the family, his wife and his three kids are, we'll be suffering more now once the crowds go away. I've been through that.

I know how you're surrounded by huge amounts of people and then it goes away. And you're left alone to mourn. And I know how hard it is. But anyway, Michael Dean McAales. He spent, it was a pilot in the Air Force, pilot for American Airlines. Some of you may have even seen him on television. He was, you know, I know he was interviewed by all the network news stations because he was the head of their pilots association safety program. And when the 737 Max went down, they were still interviewing him there about that.

and he was, you know, a driving force for American Airlines and their safety. And it's just a really good man. And I'm a better person for having known him. He'll be missed. But one of the things that they did at the service today, and I had never done it before. And I don't know that if I guess it's a, I guess it's a military thing.

I'll take that as a military thing because we were at the, you know, the National Cemetery and he obviously was a military burial. And, but after they folded the flag before, because they're at a, you know,

they're at the committal place. They bring the casket and they have an overhang and they have benches for the family and then you surround that area for the service. That's not where you get, bear you get you're not that's not the grave side and uh once they fold the flag and they give it to the family his wife in this case um they have people come up they make sure that everybody is able to go up and put their fingerprint on the casket so that your fingerprints go with them i thought that was

special anyway rest in peace my friend
