You're listening to Chewing the Fat on demand.
Ask a simple thing of a producer.
That's all I ask.
What do I get?
Nothing.
I'll find it myself.
Oh, look.
There it is.
Amazingly, I use the internet.
It's a wonderful thing.
Hello.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat with yours truly, Jeff Fisher.
Last night, Wednesday night.
14th of November, 2018, Huntsville, Texas.
Robert Moreno Ramos.
Lying Robert.
Moreno Ramos.
What?
Oh my gosh.
Don't go ahead, turn your mic on.
Tell me what?
What's his name?
Roberto Moreno Ramos.
Okay.
According to this American English story,
not from Mexico City
it's Robert Moreno
Ramos
okay so
this is what you're telling me
is that this is printed by white Americans
this story
because it says Robert
Moreno Ramos
what's his name?
Roberto Moreno Ramos
Say it again
Roberto
Moreno Ramos
Yeah he was laying on a metallic gurney
inside a death chamber of the Huntsville prison unit.
Another Texas convict put to rest for this horrific crime.
Now, this story talks about how he's gained weight.
He gained weight in prison.
He was treated so horribly.
A death row.
Not a citizen.
Been in there since 92.
Come on.
Okay. So in his final statement, Roberto Moreno Ramos, thank the Mexicans consulate for attempts to appeal his conviction and the humane treatment he received during his time on death row. You ain't lying humane treatment. He's putting on the LBs on death row? That's an issue. I'm getting my gold watch that it took the governor 30 years to forge, he said. Lord, send me.
a chariot. I'm ready.
So
Roberto Moreno
Ramos. A Mexican national
was convicted of capital murder in
1993. I'm sorry. I apologize. I said he was in
death row since 92. It was
93. Silly me.
More than a year. I realize that he
killed them in 92. Did you say that on the air?
Or just my ear? Seriously.
You're pissing me off.
That's
I just decided out of the room.
We're in the middle of the Ramos story here.
What's his name again?
Roberto Moreno Ramos.
Yeah.
We're taking a pause from that.
We're just a second.
You, I don't know what your deal is today, Chris Cruz, but back to the story about...
Roberto Moreno Ramos.
Okay, he was convicted of capital murder in 1993.
I said he was in death row since 92.
That's when he actually murdered the family.
All right.
He murdered his wife.
And his two children.
It's so sad.
He murders his wife.
He murders his two children.
He buries them in the bathroom, under the bathroom floor.
And then three days later, he marries his girlfriend.
Then he moves back to the house.
I mean, come on.
They're talking about a serious dirtbag.
We're talking about...
Roberto Moreno Ramos.
He was pronounced dead at 9.36 p.m.
Central time on the 14th of November,
for 2018.
The execution, the 21st nationally,
the 11th in Texas this year.
We got to pick up a couple more.
We're the frontrunners in this.
We're going to continue on.
And I'm not kidding, continue on.
This guy was in there since 93.
And he's not even a citizen.
And he's overweight?
Now, one of my favorite things to do is to find out
their last meals, what the death row inmates.
had for their last meal.
So, oh wow, I didn't know this.
Texas no longer allows special last meal requests.
All right.
So.
Roberto Moreno Ramos was given the same food as others in his unit.
So for his last meal, he had, I'm sorry, for his last meal.
Roberto Moreno Ramos had pepper steak, steamed rice, mixed greens, pinto beans,
sliced bread, oven-fried potatoes,
country gravy with sausage, mixed fruit,
biscuits, a choice of tea, punch, or water to drink.
That's better than what I had.
Come on.
I mean, I don't want, let's be clear.
I don't want to, you know, have to bury the family in the bathroom
to get this kind of food.
I'll get my own food.
Okay.
But you're no kidding.
I mean, he can't be the only one that's beefing out on death row, right?
I mean, they're all, they're keeping them all just for maybe.
Maybe they'll get diabetes and die early.
Maybe that's got to be what they're thinking.
I don't know.
I mean, that's pepper steak, steamed rice, mixed greens, pinto beans, sliced bread,
oven fried potatoes, country gravy with sausage.
Oh, and just to throw in a little mixed fruit, biscuits, and a choice of tea, punch, or water to drink.
Come on.
Anyway, that was his last meal.
So I hope the Lord brought
Roberto Moreno Ramos
his chariot
because we put him to death
in the great state of Texas
last night, November 14th,
2018.
Now, there's been an argument
around the country on why,
you know, how we're killing people.
and, you know, the electric chair,
remember old Sparky in Florida.
And I think Florida might be cleaning up old Sparky, by the way.
We've got to look that out.
See if they've actually terminated someone's life with Old Sparky recently.
It seems to me I saw a story where they were cleaning up
because the companies that are making the drugs to kill them,
the injections, are saying they're not going to make it anymore because they don't want the
prisons to use it to kill the prisoners.
What?
Just make your product.
This guy killed his wife and two children.
Buried them in the bathroom.
Moved back in the house with another woman and lived there.
Are you kidding me?
And you don't want to make a, you don't want to make, and he was found guilty and finally
admitted it.
And you don't want to make the drug that's going to put him to death?
No. Just make your product, please.
So it took about 11 minutes for the pentobarbital after it was administered to his body to kill him.
I would say, and that's not even, he wasn't, there was no pain or suffering.
They put in the injection, they keep the doctors around until he's completely dead.
It's not like you strap him into old sparky and juice it.
What's the word on old sparky? Was I right? Did they, are they shining that back up again?
or was that just talk?
Amazingly, the people listening on the podcast
can't tell which way your head is shaking.
If you turn the mic on,
maybe they can hear the rocks moving around inside it,
but we still don't know which way it's moving,
whether it's moving no or yes, motion.
No, it's not being used,
but you have 246 offenders waiting execution
as of February 24th.
In Florida.
In Florida.
And so there's never had that.
Why did I see that?
I'm just talking to Chris.
because I know I saw a story about Old Sparky.
Maybe they're just saying that they have so many people on Death Row that they need to...
Old Sparky was last used in 2000.
Yeah.
I was living there at the time.
I remember the whole state went dark for a couple minutes.
Stop, it was just a joke the whole state.
Don't look at me like, it did?
Yeah.
Yeah, the execution chair made the entire state go dark.
Yeah, that's what happened.
That's a big old.
powerful electric chair if that happens, man.
The little state going dark.
We're going to turn it on in 8.30.
Darkness.
Well, just come in.
Don't worry about a show going on.
Sit down.
All right.
For those of you that watch and subscribe to my Instagram channel, you know that
before the podcast, Chewing the Fat every day,
record a quick Instagram just to kind of promo the stories
or have fun and goof off for a little bit,
just to promote the podcast.
And earlier today,
I saw that
Stu Bragueer had logged on
to my Instagram feed.
As you know,
I'm a huge supporter and a big fan.
So I was curious as to what you were talking about.
I assumed it was something very important.
And you found out that it was.
But I was reminded at the time that you,
I saw that your automobile in the parking lot
has been filthy.
It's a little dukes of hazard looking.
Chris Cruz.
My producer said that he was, you know, he doesn't have a relationship good enough with you to send a picture and say, hey, what's going on?
But I was reminded of that, well, I do.
And I did.
That's true.
Sadly, you do have that relationship with me.
It's not something that I want, but it is, it is there, yes.
And the reply was, I made a wrong turn down a dirt road.
There was.
I mean, just going where the GPS tells you?
Well, there's a, I mean, the GPS was correct.
I had a little incident.
and my car is
it's black
so it's
the dirt shows up
pretty well
and I was driving back
from I don't know
where I was going
I think I was
going to the post office
and it was a place
I'd never been before
and every post office
in America is down a dirt road
but the way back
the GPS
gave me a route
and I pulled off
and it directed me
down this road
now as I started
down the road
I realized that it was
a dirt road
and as you know
here
It's been quite rainy lately.
So dirt roads, when they get water on them, Jeffie, turn to mud.
Okay?
This is what happens with these roads.
Amazing.
So I, but I was like, well, I'll just go slow, right?
Like, what's going to happen?
It can't be that big of a deal, right?
It's not like I'm going into like a, you know, I'm not going mud bogging here, right?
Like, it's a normal road.
I could see other, like, cars and trucks drive.
down it, how bad could it be?
Well, my car apparently not designed for off-roading.
No, I don't think it is.
I don't think it is. In fact, it sits pretty low.
It sits pretty low.
That's a good observation.
And so I got about a quarter of the way down the road and realized it was not going to be a successful
situation.
Wasn't getting any better?
But what do you do?
Turn back and admit that you failed?
I mean, absolutely not.
You just powered through it.
As you know.
You just keep going.
You were the first person to tell me, you know, when you are eating and you, you
you hit that wall of I'm full, you got to power through it.
Never stop.
You got to keep going.
You don't stop there.
Thank you.
Only, you know, average people stop there.
You push through.
So I decided to push through.
And I hit several large puddles.
I hit, now I was going, mind you, 15 miles an hour.
I mean, I was aware how ridiculous it was that I was in this situation.
I was going very slow.
I kept it slow the whole time.
I did get a lot of mud on my car.
And then I pulled back in thinking that no one would notice it.
However, I've had several people point out to me.
It's embarrassing.
For the rest of us, it's embarrassing.
Why is it matter if my car is money?
Because I usually park a couple of spaces away.
Right, which I've tried to change, obviously, with the town, actually, not even just the company.
I've trying to get a restraining, a car restraining order, which they apparently don't have.
Well, you need to fight for that.
Yeah.
That's a- It's embarrassing.
I'll be talking to Ted Cruz about this and Greg Abbott.
We're trying to get this done.
It is embarrassing for the rest of us to try to, you know, at least have some sort of semblance of cleanliness in our automobiles.
This isn't completely unfair.
I will agree.
So I realized this is a problem.
You were, of course, one of the first people who contacted me because whenever anything questionable happens, you're always in line to make it as difficult as possible.
So I decided yesterday to go to a car wash.
So as many would
They would put in
I opened up one of the map programs on my phone
And just put in car wash
I don't know where a car wash is around here
I don't live around here
I know where the car wash is in my town
I know where the car wash is in my town
But I was at work
And I was like well it's lunchtime
Seriously discuss you again
We need to back up for just a second
It's embarrassing again
That you need to have GPS
For everywhere you go
Dude look around a little bit
Where you're driving
Know where you're going
I don't do that.
I don't.
Technology is here for a reason.
It's to guide us through life without effort.
That is the reason technology exists.
That's true.
So I set car wash in my GPS and it sent me to a wonderful neighborhood, which is nearby.
Just down another dirt road.
It was an interesting experience, maybe almost like I traveled internationally.
That's where Chris Cruz lives.
Okay, maybe.
I don't know.
I know.
So I went to wherever I was going.
And shockingly, the car wash was, of course, closed.
It was closed down, as if they wanted to never have any remembrance that it ever existed.
So I could not go there.
So I put in car wash again and found the second closest car wash to me, which I went to.
And remember, this is the day that it was like, you know, 30 degrees outside.
And I'm like, look, I, you know, I'll pull through, I'll get the thing washed off.
Of course, this one was a.
do-it-yourself car wash.
Now, you know the do-it-yourself car washes with
like the wands and the brushes.
First of all, you're getting wet.
Second of all, you're getting cold.
I'm not doing that. And I'm like, I'm not doing that.
But then I was like, you know what? I'm here.
I'll go for it.
I go to the thing, the change machine,
but I don't have any singles.
I only have a 20.
Mr. Big bucks.
I mean, I have legitimately one, 20.
It's not big bucks.
But I can't get changed for it.
So I get back in the car.
And I head back here because now it's like time to do whatever stupid
show we're doing next. And so I go home later on at night. It's like 8 o'clock at night.
Pull into the gas station now where I'm going to get my car washed because I get a car
my car wash there all the time. They've closed the garage door and I can't get in there either.
Because it's so cold and windy. Because it's so cold and windy. What idiot would wash their car
on a day like that. So now I'm on day like four of this and you are not the first person to
point out. I just want to help you on it. It might be closed. But if you ever need a car wash
in this neck of the woods again quickly.
there's always the mobile station right there by Chick-fil-A.
The only reason I know there's a car wash there is because it's right
it's opposite the drive-thru of Chick-fil-A.
So if you go through the drive-thru of Chick-fil-A over there,
the gas station right next to Chick-fil-A, that's a car wash right there.
Is it? Okay.
That's the only reason I know that because I've sat in Chick-fil-A's drive-thru a couple of times.
You know, getting food for people here in the building.
Right.
Because you have never eaten anything fried.
We know that.
There's never been a fried chicken sandwich that you've just glommed down your gullet.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't even like that place.
Yeah.
I figured that.
But waiting in line, and they usually have the line go by pretty fast.
Chick-fil-A's got that down, by the way.
But you do sit there for a couple of minutes, and you go, oh, there's a car wash.
Okay, so now I know across the street from the Chick-fil-A.
No, just in the part next over, right over.
Oh, next door.
You can get Chick-fil-A, drive-through, eat your Chick-fil-A right through the car wash.
That's perfect.
That's right.
I'm surprised this is tied to a fast food restaurant for you.
That's a stunning development.
You know what I'll do.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
By the way, on Thanksgiving week, is it true that you will be coming in here and doing the show with me on Friday?
I was told that I was going to do the show, and then they said, we're not allowing you to do it alone.
Stu's got to come in with you.
No.
Really?
I was told I was doing the show.
I'm happy for you to do the show on Black Friday.
I would much rather sit at home and stuff my fat mouth with leftovers.
Yeah, no, it'll be fun.
It'll be great.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
We can do live shots.
my gosh, your car's already dirty.
Don't wash it.
We can do live shots from all the people standing in line.
I'm fine with that, honestly, at this point.
I'm giving up on life at this point.
Oh, no.
I mean, I don't know.
Who cares?
Who cares that my car is dirty?
What does that matter?
It doesn't really matter.
It really doesn't.
And what happens is, see, now you don't get a wash.
A couple days, everybody goes, that's due his car.
Yeah, I kind of feel like now I just embrace it.
I just lean into it.
Absolutely.
I'm the dirty car guy.
That's me.
Doesn't matter.
It's already, it's already done.
All right.
I'm in.
Sorry,
what happened?
I don't know.
He just keeps his car dirty like that all the time.
I didn't realize you solve so many problems on this podcast.
So that's what chewing the fat is.
It is.
That's what we do.
We solve people's problems here.
We did have a comment, though.
One comment I wanted to talk to you about a little bit that I thought was fascinating.
Today on the radio show, when you were drawing a name for someone to come to the Mercury One galo.
Yes, that went really well.
You heard that?
I heard it.
I made sure I found a television screen.
Yeah.
Because the world did not turn away from that.
Okay, so you went through two.
So you went through two and actually the third one, you were trying, you never got an answer to, right?
Right.
Yes, I believe.
So, but I was asked a question on the Instagram post today if Glenn ever did find anybody that actually wanted to come to the gala today.
So I figured out, well, Stu would know.
I would know.
No, actually, I don't know.
And I don't care.
I don't care if anyone comes at this point.
I kept saying it's like, well, we're doing a contest on the air.
The point of this is to get people excited about coming and like donating for this car.
Well, they both were excited.
They, well, the first person was not excited at all.
She was like, I thought she was going to fall asleep in the middle of our conversation.
She's going to a Hawaii trip.
Who has an extra $100 to dish out for a raffle ticket when you're about to go on a Hawaii vacation?
Apparently a little Miss Rich Pocket Book over here.
The state's on fire.
I'm going to Hawaii.
Exactly.
And then the second one was like, yeah, I can't come.
I think she was going to like, I think there was a Denny's special.
She wanted to make sure she took part of it.
I don't know.
She didn't even have an excuse.
And then I don't even know what happened.
She'd come to one before.
So she'd already experienced the fun.
Right.
She's like, I do not need to come back.
I do not need another day of that.
Just let me win the car.
I will say, I don't know if the third person came through or not.
I said afterwards, I'm like, look, if we're doing a contest, can you check with them to see before we take them on the air?
Can you check with them to see if they want to come?
Why are we bringing them on the air if they don't want to come?
That's fantastic.
Apparently, apparently that was the normal way of doing things.
So I have no.
I don't know.
I mean, I will say there's a you'll be there, right?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, maybe that's why people aren't coming.
Maybe that's the reason.
But I mean, you're going to.
I don't know.
I'm going to try to get there.
I heard that you're going to be there, though, so I'm, I'm 50-50 on it.
I mean, sure, we're helping sex slaves and people escape from Mises, but I don't really want to hang out with you.
Do you honestly think that how what's the over or under on body parts speech?
Body parts.
Oh, yeah.
Selling of body's parts.
This is one of Glenn's favorite topics at holiday parties.
Will he talk about selling?
Now, this is true.
At last year's Christmas party, Glenn stopped the room.
Now remember, mind you, at the time, people are drinking, enjoying themselves, hanging out
with their coworkers.
Karaokees just kicking off.
There's people, hammered people up there singing.
Horrible levels.
Already happening.
There's like one good singer in our company, Sarah Gonzalez.
Outside of that, I don't think anyone can sing at all.
And she's up there, belt and out songs.
We got drunk people like you up there, belt and out songs.
And then Glenn stops.
Hold on.
I just want to talk to everybody.
Body parts are being harvested.
It was that bad.
I would wish everyone, Merry Christmas, but they are stealing babies and selling body parts.
Yes.
I think Glenn, that is.
not a topic you cover in the holiday party speech.
That was so good.
The last time we had a Mercury One event here, just before he was getting ready to go speak,
I told him I'll give you $20.
You mentioned baby parts.
Did it work?
No.
See, now he knows.
I know.
See, he goes, nah.
We got to stop mentioning these things in front of him.
We just need to come and do the podcast here and talk about how he's mentioning about
his part.
He just wait for it to happen.
Yeah, we can't make fun of him to his face in this because it ruins the joke.
All right, Stubergear, we can see you and hear you every day with the Glenn Beck.
on the Glenback radio program
and then you're doing your thing with
Sarah Gonzalez, the news, and who cares?
I blurt out non-sequiters on the News
and White Matters. The News and White Matters, that's what it's called.
How can I ever forget that?
It's kind of long. That's probably how.
See you, man.
Thanks. All right, since we were, you know,
talking about Chick-fil-A drive-thru with
Stuber gear, I want to thank him for stopping by.
A lot of people don't like him.
It reminded me of
of the stories that I've had in the fat pile
for a couple of days about McDonald's.
Chick-fil-A McDonald's, fast food.
I mean, sorry, I'm just there right now
and I'm really hungry.
And if someone could bring me in-and-out burger,
it'd be nice.
You don't need to even tell them,
don't worry about it, putting any of that stuff on it.
You know, like the stuff that they put on it,
you know, like lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles,
boogie sauce, none of that.
It just bring me an in-and-out burger.
double
double burger, double cheese.
It'll be fine.
Thank you.
Just let the security guard up front
know you're here for me
with the In-N-Out burger.
He'll know it's true.
And he'll send it on him.
So it's right here in urban Texas.
Mercury Studios.
It's Building 3.
I don't remember the address.
We'll just say it on the air.
Why do you just tell me in the ear?
Just turn on your mic and tell him to give the address.
6301.
Riverside Drive, Building 1, Irving, Texas, 75039.
I love the zip code to 75039 because every time I hear it, it actually reminds me of 7.5309.
Same.
That's how we're able to remember it.
It drives me insane.
And the first couple times when we first moved here and I had to give the address, I would, you know, for a couple days after I wrote down the address or whatever, I'd be singing,
And Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?
And I was thinking, well, how did I get that stupid song in my head?
I wasn't at any clothing store that would have it on the Musack system.
I wasn't, you know, I wasn't at a Belks.
It wasn't at a Coles.
It wasn't that a J.C. Penny.
And then I realized it was writing down the stupid zip code of this place.
Because the zip code is 75039.
But the song is 75309.
Anyway, the
Don't, and I don't
want to have an in and out burger
sent to me through the postal service.
Don't think you're funny by sending me
an in and out burger through the mail.
Ha ha ha ha. I've already laughed real
at that. Okay, don't do it.
But it's not fresh and hot.
In fact, how many times have you said that in your
life? It's not fresh and hot.
I don't want it. So police
are
seeking a woman who pushed, punched,
and choked to McDonald's manager
because she wanted ketchup.
Amen.
Amen.
Police in San Anna, California
say the assault took place.
The assault.
The assault from who?
The McDonald's manager
for not giving up ketchup?
When the drive-thru customer
entered the restaurant
through an employee door
and asked for the condiment.
See, that's a problem.
She went in the wrong door.
All right, she just stayed at the window.
You're already there.
The woman attacked the,
manager after she was told she could not be in the building yeah see she ended she
should have just fought for it at the window footage shows other employees trying to help
before a man who police believe was with the suspect ran into the restaurant and
pulled the woman off the manager the pair left okay so the guy that's with the
lady says oh no I got to get her out of there comes in and pulls her up a couple
problems with this story why was the door open one of the employees just leaving
it open to take the trash out at night
I'm pretty sure that's probably against policy.
Second,
I understand, though.
I am heartfelt with this lady over the problem with ketchup.
I have dealt with fast food people at drive-thrus,
not giving you enough ketchup packets for the drive.
And you have to say, I need a couple.
What the trick is,
At the drive-thru microphone, yeah, I need a couple extra catch-ups.
Then at the window, once they give you the bag, I need a couple extra ketchup.
So you can watch them putting it in the bag.
And then you can say, ooh, no, that's, I need some more.
And if that, then that's where they, oh, that's all we can give you.
Is it?
Is it?
Because you got that box right below you.
Oh, my manager says I can only give so many.
Get him.
Where are they at?
Get her.
I don't care.
Him or her.
Doesn't matter.
Get the manager.
Let's talk to them right now.
Because what you do at some of these places that you've already
have a fight with, and the biggest fight I had was with a Wendy's.
One Wendy's I used to go to frequently, and they changed managers,
and the manager thought that he was probably doing a big thing
and saving money and making the store more money by lessening the packets of ketchup
he gives away through the drive-thru, which probably the store is getting charged full price,
but you can guarantee Wendy's is not getting charged full price,
because they've got the deal with Heinz
because Heinz puts the Heinz ketchup
on the back of the packet.
So they've got some kind of deal with them.
Don't get me.
I don't even get me started.
Don't even get me started with that.
So I understand the fight with that.
But I'll tell you a way to get around it is if you,
and this does mean you have to go inside.
But if you go inside and you're going to leave,
you just go inside and a lot of places give you extra little cups for water or whatever.
You just go to the ketchup dispenser and put ketchup in that.
and you're fine.
You'd be okay.
But I understand the great frustration of dealing with fast food people that have their list.
They're like crossing guards.
They've got their little yellow jacket on and they think they've got power.
It drives me crazy.
Just give me whatever ketchup, whatever mustard, whatever dipping sauce, whatever it is.
Just give it to me.
I'm a customer.
Okay?
I'll use it.
I'll be back.
Don't fight me over five different packets of ketchup.
It's agonizing.
All right, I might as well do one more McDonald's story
because I've had this McDonald's story in the fat pile for quite a while.
And it's really a bad story, but it makes me laugh
because a 19-year-old San Antonio team was sent home.
after being late to his first day.
He was working at local McDonald's,
and he arrived late, which doesn't, I mean,
you just don't do that, right?
It's your first day on the job.
Someone, and I'm sure he may not have ever been told this.
It might be his parents' fault, a parenting issue,
but everyone knows that your first day on a job,
whatever it is, you show up early.
That's really a law that's not a law, right?
That's an unwritten law.
You just do.
You just always show up your first day at a new job early.
You just do.
But apparently this kid didn't know this.
So he showed up.
Now, you never show up for work late and expect to keep the gig.
But this kid showed up being late and the manager was like, yeah, no.
You can't show up on time.
We don't need you.
I know it was your first day and all, but we're done with you.
Get out.
So the kid leaves.
walks down the road,
robs the next McDonald's down the road of $1,500 and takes off.
It may have been an issue.
May have been a little bit of an issue.
Probably shouldn't have done that.
Probably should have maybe worked it out with the kid.
He's trying to probably do things right and then screwed up a little bit.
And then ended up having to rob the McDonald's down the road.
Maybe you should have shut up to work on time.
You and you again.
the world.
You and me against the world.
That's not Roy Clark.
Rest in peace, Roy Clark.
Died 85 years of age.
Now, I know many of you probably don't remember Roy.
My grandfather used to play Roy Clark.
I loved Roy Clark.
He was, I mean, it was great.
He played every instrument.
He was, I mean, he was on heath for a hundred years.
He was he-ha.
And, you know, if you watch my Instagram, I gave you a little bit of he-ha, Roy Clark, you know,
searched the world over, thought I found true love, you met another, he was gone, where, where are you
tonight?
I love that.
That's funny stuff.
I also saw today where Wall Street Journal ranked the largest airports in the U.S.
based on criteria like security line, wait times, restaurant quality, number of non-suitals.
stop destinations.
And here's their top 10.
Top 10 airports in the country.
Denver.
Orlando.
Phoenix.
Atlanta.
Dallas Fort Worth.
Las Vegas.
Seattle, Tacoma.
Charlotte.
Los Angeles.
Boston.
Now, I've been to
Orlando, Phoenix,
Atlanta,
DFW.
you. Charlotte, Los Angeles. Six of the ten. I don't remember ever being in Boston. I know I haven't
been to Seattle. I don't think we ever flew through Denver at all. In Las Vegas, I mean, sadly,
I've never been to Las Vegas airport. I know. Don't look at me like that. I know. I know.
I got it, okay? I like to drive into Vegas. Takes me through the desert. I like to drive in.
Feels good you drive. Oh, are you kidding me? You drive? Oh, you're kidding me. You drive up.
out of that desert into Vegas.
It's one of the coolest things ever, ever.
But really, I love Tampa.
Tampa International is a beautiful airport.
It's easy in, easy out, especially, I mean, it's access.
I have not seen an airport that is as easily accessed in and out.
And plus flying in and out.
than Tampa.
I'm sorry, you just haven't.
TIA is, I think, is number one.
It should be.
It's pretty, and like Dallas Fort Worth,
they just got done remodeling at all.
They was under construction for 100 years.
And they've made it better and easier to get in and out
and pick up people and fly out.
one of the things that's a little frustrating about DFW is as soon as you get close to the property,
they charge you to get on it.
There's no just driving in and dropping someone off and getting out.
All right.
There's no just driving in and picking someone else that just flew in up and getting out for free.
That's kind of, I think that should be illegal, to be honest with you.
I think it should be illegal.
A lot of airport, like Tampa, gives you an hour to park for free.
I think, maybe 30 minutes now.
I'm not sure.
But you can drive in and pick someone up that just landed and drive out for nothing.
You know, after all, you've just collected a fee from the airline.
You've collected a fee from all the restaurants.
You've collected a fee from the person who paid the airline.
And now DFW wants to collect another fee from someone just driving on the property.
That's a problem.
That really ticks me off, actually.
Now that I'm thinking about it out loud, really, really, really ticks me off.
And they've made it easier.
I know that they'll say, well, it's for your safety.
No, you can still make it so that I have to get in and out with a card.
Or if I can go through your security gates with my toll pass.
So you'll know you'll have record of me coming onto the property.
It's the charging part that ticks me off.
It's that whole, hey, you can't come to the airport and pick up.
anyone up without paying to drive on our roads.
That's the thing that ticks me off.
Orlando, Phoenix, I had a rough time in Phoenix.
I hate the Phoenix airport.
Hey, Phoenix.
Atlanta, I mean, who hasn't been stuck in Atlanta in America?
If you float in America, you've been stuck in Atlanta.
Stuck in Charlotte, a couple times in my life.
A couple times of my life.
L.A.
You know, I've only been,
when I've flown into L.A.X
and I've flown in and gotten picked up and flown out.
I never had to really do it myself,
so it seemed easy.
I don't know that it actually was.
It was just done by people that knew what they were doing.
So that always makes life a little bit easier.
And I have a feeling,
and this is just a feeling,
that Boston isn't quite as nice as they think it is.
It's very possible.
Very possible.
But I still think Tampa is number one,
and I'm really mad at Dallas-Fort Worth for charging me.
