You're listening to Chewing the Fat on Demand. Can we go anytime? You ready? Welcome to Chewing the Fat Friday edition. Fat Pile Friday. A couple stories that have been in the pile for a few days. Congratulations to a woman who won the lottery and she wants to do wonderful things with the money. The single mom who won $343.9 million in her. recent powerball drawing, which was supposed to be mine, by the way, and she won it, so I let her have it. Says she's going to be giving a half a million dollars of her jackpot to a foundation that assists

wounded veterans. Good for her. And I know that she went on Ellen and was all happy she's a single mom. Look, she's a struggling, I'm glad to see someone who was at least deserving of winning the lottery, winning the lottery. Good for her. 51 of Redfield, Iowa. She bought her first ticket. She took a break from unpacking from her new home, who's now a single mother of three,

to get a slice of pizza at Casey's convenience store. And when she got her slice of pizza, she thought, I'll just buy a powerball ticket. $343.9 million. dollars. Amazing. Another lottery story. And I'm supposed to I guess feel happy for this lady, but I

don't. A Missouri woman who thought she had won a hundred dollar powerball prize was a few zeros off. It was a million dollars. She thought she'd won a hundred. If I'm the cashier and she says

yeah, I'm here to cash in my ticket, I won $100 and that thing rings through the machine at a million, I'm giving her the $100 cash. Here you go. Congratulations. Here's your 100. Talk to you later.

Bye. And I'm cashing in the million. It might be in trouble for that. But I'm going to give it a shot, right? For a million? So she goes, she buys the tickets. She scratches it off. And she realizes that I won, I won, I won, I won, I won $100.

I want $100. No, no, you didn't, baby. No, you won. A million dollars. So I guess congratulations, but I don't want to be happy for her because she thought she won 100. That really ticks me off. You're supposed to know what you won.

That's a lottery rule, isn't it? I mean, she broke a lottery rule and still won. That's not fair. And the single jackpot sold in Simpsonville, South Carolina, for the $1.5 billion dollar mega millions jackpot, there has been no winner claim the prize yet. Think of that. All right. So now they still have time to turn it in.

I mean, you still have time. And they're saying that, well, they're, you know, this guy, this person, I say guy, this person is probably getting his ducks in a row and making everything right. But it's been quite a while now. It doesn't take that long to get your ducks in a row. So I'm hoping that this person or persons didn't lose it in the hurricane, didn't lose it in flooding. How many times do you bought a ticket and you forgot you about it? And it's sitting in your briefcase or it's sitting in the glove box or it's between the seats in the truck.

And you just, you know, a couple months from now you look at it and go, ah, it wasn't a winner anyway. wrong. So if you have the possibility of winning the $1.5 billion mega millions ticket, perhaps you should check your tickets again. There are 46 jurisdictions, 44 states in the district of Columbia and along with the U.S. Virgin Islands that participated in mega millions. Since the ticket was sold in South Carolina, the 45 other jurisdictions each contribute to the sum, obviously, proportionate to their ticket sales. And when no winner comes forward at the end of the allowed 180 days, and some places have a year, six months. We talked a little bit about that, the difference in time for the different states in different areas. The unclaimed prize money, it can go back to its own cause. It depends on what the state has directed for it.

It's been about three weeks since the drawing, right? So they're figuring that the person is getting their, you know, everything in order. And I guess it could take that long with, you know, you have $1.5 billion. That's a lot of money. That is a, you know, that's a good chunk of change. Now, they're guessing that it's probably going to be claimed before the 180 days expire. But in South Dakota last year, ticket buyers walked away from $541,000 in lottery money. In North Carolina, they left $10.36 million on the table.

In California, $36 million on the table. Arizona, one person failed to collect a $100,000 powerball ticket. First time mega millions players often do not realize that even if they don't win the jackpot. matching some of the numbers of the drawing can still win you smaller prizes. See, those people should be considered too dumb to play. That should be a lottery law. And those of us that play, that money should be broken up between us. There were a lot of attention obviously went to the $1.5 billion jackpot,

but there were all kinds of winners in that $1.5 billion jackpot. So you have plenty of time to pick it up. and if not, you know, if you don't pick it up, you get $1.5 billion to the state's coffers, which is, wow. Otherwise, I mean, just think of this. And then I do not want this to happen, but just say,

add the tickets in between your seat and the truck. And you're busy cleaning up from flooding. You're not thinking about it. You know, you bought a ticket. Or maybe you don't even remember you bought a ticket. You think you did. You bought a cup of coffee because you retired and you bought a ticket to. And you don't know what happened to.

And it's in between. So six months from now, you're cleaning out your truck and you find the ticket. And you go, oh, I wonder if this, you know, and I know it's out of date, but, you know, you check the numbers to see if it was the winner. And that was the ticket for the $1.5 billion. Do you say anything to anybody? Or do you just rip it up, put it in a safe, cry? Of course you cry.

You cry like a little baby. You go in, you need a cry room at that point. There's no question. There's a story in the fat pile about places that are opening up now around the world. Smash rooms where you go in and you rent time in a room and you're able to take a sledgehammer and just smash whatever you want and destroy whatever you want. And that's what you're paying for. So not only do we have the safe rooms, now we have the smash rooms.

if you find the $1.5 billion lottery tickets six months from now, and obviously it's out of date and you can't collect, you're going to need a crying room, a smashing room, and a safe room all in the same day. Because tears will flow. All right, I want to thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. Podcast, of course, you know. It's a Monday through Friday.

Nobody ever knows that song. It's an old country song. Anyway, I was. But King Fisher, now this is someone that, this is someone that knows me. I don't like that.

That means they got information that I don't want them to be sharing. But it's not, it's someone that knows me but doesn't know. There's only about three people on the planet that culminate. me by my nickname. Nobody knows what my nickname was or is. And there's like three people that still call me at. Three people. Let's see Mike, Andrew, Terry Roundtree. Yeah, there's about three people that call. Chris Cruz doesn't even know what that nickname is. So it's someone that's inside, but not old inside, which makes me feel a little bit better because old inside, there's some stories there. We do not one out.

And thank you. Let me finish it. Then I'll come back to, come back to grade you. It's so wonderful to listen to. He shares stories that are important, but not political. That's what we try to do a little bit. I do get a little political sometimes, but I really try not to. You can get that anywhere.

I mean, you've got, there's people on this network alone, blah, blah, blah, blah, founding fathers. I got it. Okay, shut up. I'm just trying to get through the day.

And by the way, Tank Ninja. We're going to have to talk about the Netflix show that, Reflex Ninja Warriors, the Beast Master, Ultimate Beast Master. You know, I love the whole idea of Ultimate Beast Master. I really do. But season one was really good. And then they screwed up with the announcers and did some things. What's that?

I know. It's Sylvester Stallone. I love him. He's got all this money. He's the executive producer. It was a great idea. But then they started to do it. I put the announcers, and we fell in love in season one with the announcers and how they were doing it.

For all the countries, if you haven't seen it, watched season one. Now, I'm going through them for you, and I'll give you a better review. But right now, my review is season one was the best. This from M-P-S-S-C-H-O-N-E-Y, five stars. Jeffie hits a home run, two exclamation points. remember years ago when on the Glenn Beck program, the gang was off-site doing the broadcast when the connection was lost and Jeffrey back in the studio had to fill in and I thought, he's not half bad filling in with no prep.

Now with prep he's batting a thought, well, I mean, thank you, but let me say that, I mean, I really don't, half bad, he's not half bad filling in. I mean, the connection is lost and I step up to the plate and that's not half bad, I mean, Mip Shoney, thank you. MP Shoney, thank you. I appreciate it. Now, Chris is bugging me because I did one on the Instagram. Right, that was the one I did on the Instagram.

I don't have that. You didn't print that one for me. Oh, this one right here. From Jeffrey Bruce. Jeffrey Bruce, I got it. See, I did it wrong. I'm grading myself. Exclamation point.

Chewing the fat five stars. Great outlook. Funny yet. Valid. Huh? Uh-huh. I did one also that I'm going to miss on the Instagram. We did a quick, we do a quick Instagram every day before the show.

Just to give you an idea of stories and have fun and promote the podcast. And today we did on my Instagram, which is Jeff Fisher Radio. And we did up on the Blazes Instagram too. Apparently, Samantha, or as Glenn likes to call her, Sam, was wandering around doing nothing and said, are they doing an Instagram post and just stopped in and started to record? I was, okay, no problem. and we'll do it. Gave you a quick little shot of the studios.

They're getting ready for the Mercury 1 Gala, which happens here tomorrow, and they're setting up for the auction items and what's happening on that. And you still have time to jump in on the Mercedes-Benz auction for $100, a chance for a Mercedes-Benz. It's a good deal. 100 bucks, any Mercedes would be worth $100.

I don't believe there's a Mercedes-Benz on the planet, not worth $100. So go to Mercury 1,000. Mercury 1.org. And you can also look at some auction items that they have at the site. You can register for the drawing for the Mercedes-Benz. And you can look at the auction items. And if you can make it here to the Mercury Studios tomorrow, come on.

We've got the auction items. We're setting up. We're going to have dinner. We're going to have music. We're going to have a live auction. It's going to be a party. Mercury 1, 2018 gala, right here at the Mercury Studios, Irving. Texas.

Remember, this is chewing the fat. And, you know, Monday through Thursday, I try to, you know, we try to have a little bit, I'm going to, we go to the water cooler in the break room, I have some, some break room stories, and then I'm going to try to start a new segment called just headlines and give you the headlines of what's going around around the world, just so you know. I don't have to go deep in any of these stories. Just give you the headlines so you have an idea of what's going on. Because I feel kind of bad.

I know that we don't do politics and you can get that anywhere. But I do want you to be able to at least be aware of what's going on. And you don't have to know. Most of these stories change all the time. And the headline is sometimes are misleading. So I'll give you headlines and tell you, whether it's a misleading headline or not a misleading headline, just so you know. So you can, when you're at work or you're with friends, you can say, I know that's what

the headline said, but. And that's all you need to do. And then there's no argument. It's just a little misleading. Also, then Fridays, we do fat pile Friday, which, you know, I'm trying to plow through. Every Friday I try to plow through as much of the fat as I can. And then we have Saturday. I tried to give you a little Saturday bonus podcast this week with Daniel Lapin.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin joins us. He was here wandering around the building, so I drug him in. And I told the story on Instagram about the story that was sitting on top of the fat pile that I had here yesterday, about the husband accused of scuttling the yacht amidst to killing his wife at sea on honeymoon, and he could not stop looking at the headline. And let me say that I love Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and I love his wife, Susan. And they are a fantastic couple, and I would do anything for them. They were here and were able to stop and give me a little bit of their time yesterday, which was great.

The first time I ever spending a little time with the rabbi and his wife was in Salt Lake City, and we did the tour with the rabbi and my family was there and he and his wife were there and David Barton was giving the tour and Gino Vanelli and his wife were there as well

and we were doing the tour and we had such a good time and at that point in time my children I didn't have to beat goodness out of them so they were really good and it was just a really good time and ever since then I mean, I'm just, I'm a fan.

So if you have an opportunity to listen to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, do so, because it's well worth it. And he's probably one of the smartest guys in the world, in today's world, Rabbi Daniel Lapin is the guy. And so you have that to look forward to tomorrow as well. So let's plow through some of this, some of the fat pile that we've got today before we have to kind of wrap it up. The National Grid, after all that's failed,

the National Grid is bringing in a cannon to scare away hundreds of crows that have been hanging around an electrical substation in Massachusetts. So we can't do anything. The government doesn't want to do anything with the power grid at all. And even if we're so concerned about the foreign entities

killing our grid with the EMT and just ruin everything with the and it's look and what I say EMTs no we don't care about the EMTs

the emergency medical technicians we care about the EMPs the EMTs are helping people in California bless their hearts and helping other people all around the world the EMPs bad news but we will bring in a cannon to scare away these birds.

And according to them, they say, don't worry, no birds will be hurt. Uh-huh. The propane cannon being fired off in North Adams this week doesn't shoot projectiles. It just makes a lot of noise that annoys the crows. We've got to find the video. There has to be a video with audio

of the propane cannon being fired in Massachusetts, trying to save the grid because they can't get rid of the crows. And heaven forbid somebody takes a 22 out there and just starts pot shot and crows. Because who knows, there's not enough crows on the planet. There's a place not far from where I live here in Texas that these trees and this restaurant and this pharmacy. I know it's a surprise. I know where a pharmacy is. Then I spend time there.

These crows live. And they are so loud and so obnoxious. And nothing scares them. They don't care. They fly in, if you drop a crumb from your sack, they're on it. And I just, if I could carry around a propane cannon, I guess I would. Just to scare them off. Get out of here.

So the National Grid says that the cannon will be fired off between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. starting Tuesday. I don't even know how long the story's been in the fat pile. So this could have been going on now for a week, week and a half. And keep going until Saturday. Police have warned area residents. Now, you know that the police have warned area residents, and there is no way that everybody knows about this.

So there's going to get 911 calls. They're going to get all words. I think we're under attack. People are going to be all freaked out because of the propane cannon. and it doesn't even shoot projectiles, it just makes a loud noise. We've got, you have it, that's great. Let's hear the propane cannon being fired off in North Adams, Massachusetts, to get rid of the crows hanging around the electrical substation.

Doesn't it sound like a cannon? If I'm a crow, I'm out, though. Does it just do that for two hours? Wow. That's annoying. That's annoying. For two hours of that? So the crows are going to move into, I don't know, Connecticut, Maine, New York.

They don't want to take New York. The rats have already got New York. Crows are almost sky rats. They're close to pigeons. They're like sky rats. So they've got to move somewhere else. That's annoying. That's fantastic.

Don't worry. The birds won't be hurt. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. A crow being hurt. What if they get too scared do they fly into the building or something? Now you've harmed crows than doing this. They're just flying around haphazardly flying into cars. Crows get big too, man.

They're not these little blue jays, man. Crows are big birds. They do some damage. I don't know if you ever seen the documentary, the birds. But the crows, that's a documentary years ago, it's an old one, where birds are attacking. And the crows are big old birds, man. They do some damage. Don't look at me like you've never.

You've never seen the documentary of the birds? What country are you from? No, you're not. No, no, my friend, you are not. You can say you are, but you aren't. That is, that's embarrassing, that you haven't seen the documentary of the birds. It's old and boring now, anyway.

It was made back in 1812. You watch it today and you go, boring. But it's worth a watch. However, there's got to be a better way than the propane cannon being fired off to scare crows away. That's not a... That's definitely not a cannon. That's not a cannon.

It's like a propane machine gun or something. A propane... Certainly not a grill. It does sound like your grill's trying to fire up, though. And the sparker doesn't work to fire up the propane, so you've got to throw a match in and hope you don't blow your face up. The whole thing blows up. That's why you only have one row open.

So when you throw the match in, you're down at the other end. There's a little helpful hint on how to start a propane. Do you know the first time I ever got a propane grill, I opened it up and spread it all out in the back room. We had a room called the Florida room. I was living in Florida. And I opened it up, took it all out of the box, and I was going to do it myself.

Darn it, I'm putting this grill together. I'm going to do it. And it took me about a way. week. I had it all spread out in the back room and I looked at it every day. I'd come home from work and look at it out there. This is called pre-children. So you're able to leave stuff out like that? And I came home and I, so one day I got off work and I brought a case of beer. This was called also drinking days. And I brought home a case of beer and I sat and I'm putting this grill together today. And it took forever. God, awful things. It was the stupidest thing ever done in my life. Well, just to have the guy at Home Depot do it, bring it home. I did put it all together, though. I got it all together. The only thing I didn't do was figure out how to make that sparker work to start the propane.

You know, so when you turn the gas on and that sparker works. So I had to use matches, but I was done at that point. I just used matches. I never figured it out. Oh, man, did I hate that freak putting that thing together? That was the dumbest thing I ever did. That's why they have people that do it. That's when I decided, you know what?

My time is more important than me just putting that girl together. But at that time in my life, I was going to do it. I had made up my, my first wife was even like, well, you just have the guy, take it to the guy. He'll put it together for you. No, I'm putting it together. And it sounded like the propane cannon in Massachusetts. I never could get the sparker figured out.

Just throw in the match. It's so bad. Hey, what the, is that? The Hulk? No, I just teasing. It's Hercules. Hercules is here. How are you?

You know, we're okay. We're lucky. Our house is standing, and three homes around me and my street are down and burnt to the ground. So are you, you're not being evacuated? We were evacuated. They lift the evacuation this morning, but I've been spending the last two nights here anyway. My family was north. They were fine, but I wasn't going to leave the house alone.

I've been putting out little smoldering, smoky areas around the house and the fields around us. Just to stop any wind from picking stuff up. Right. Well, I mean, if your house is safe, then it worked. So far, so good, yeah. That's amazing because we've seen... It's unbelievable. I mean, the hills all around us just burnt.

I mean, it looks like, it looks like a bomb was dropped here. Yeah, the footage I'm seeing is horrific. Oh, my gosh, yeah. And, you know, some areas got it worse than us, but still, I mean, all around us, it's just burned. So I was looking at the paperwork that they send, you know, for every interview. And it talks to me about how you, you know, as Hercules, the legendary journeys from 93 to 99, as the most watched TV show in the world. Is that true?

This is true. We passed Baywatch by season three there in 1996. And it actually ran from 93 to 2000 with first-run shows. And then still in 176 countries at its peak, but it's still in 60 countries. And it airs on a couple different networks and our cables here in the state. So it's crazy. That's amazing. I followed it up with Andromeda after that. Right.

And that was like a number one for almost the whole time, right? First run syndication, yeah. So in America. But that reached 150 countries. Now was the first show Gene Roddenberry created after Star Trek back in 1969. So, I mean, you're living large is what you're telling me. Well, I had a good 12-year-run, you know. And then, you know, I came out of that conservative closet and then Hollywood sort of shut me down.

I saw my own production company, and I just finished my 59th movie. So the heck with them. Wow. I'm able to stay alive on small-budget films, but, you know, they're good films and they're actors' films is the way. I look at them, you know, so I've been very fortunate. That's fantastic. And I know, you know, we're talking today about, you know, the, you know, Christmas dreams and it's the Christmas holidays.

And, you know, you have said that, you know, this Christmas holiday, and it's proving to be a little bit true right now as we start, that we're going to be under attack for quite a while over this Christmas holidays. Yeah, I think we are. I mean, that's the biggest issue for the Democrats, obviously, is to be. to go after Trump and Kavanaugh. There's no other pressing problems in America. Let's go after those guys.

I mean, it just shows you how insane and crazy that party is. And, you know, let's not forget the caravan. But I don't want to get it. We don't need to get into that. It's okay. We can slide by that all right. Because, you know, you have the... I'm going to keep going.

They go right into Canada. Canada will open the welcome arms. I mean, you know, Canada was... I was tell people, Canada was formed the same time America was. we have 340 million people now and they're 30 million. What does that tell you about a socialized government? Right. Right.

I know. It's amazing that, well, I don't normally get into it on this particular show. But it's frustrating at times. Thinking that, you know, we need to have some sort of structure to a country. And there are many countries around the world that believe that. However, when we believe it, it's wrong, and it's very frustrating. It's weird, and everybody still wants to come to America. It's quite selling to me.

It sure is. I tell my friends who are for open borders. I can't help but laugh at that and go, I ask them, do you lock your home at night? Well, yeah. Do you lock your cars whenever you're going? Well, yeah, why? You want a wide open border for anybody to come across, but you're worried that your house could be attacked or your car could be robbed. No, no.

You should leave by example. Keep everything unlocked. Take the windows off, take the foot. I mean, leave it wide open for people to see that it's a wide open. access. And why are they not complaining about airport security? Why do we have to go through security of airports? Why at all? Walk right on. Yeah. It's the same thing, right? It's sure as heck is. And, you know, they obviously do not see it that way. However, it is the same thing. And it's very, very frustrating. So, all right, well, I'll go on a little bit more with you. It is really good.

But I know that you have your new holiday movie out titled Christmas Dreams. Tell me a little bit about that? Well, I'm the narrator of it. The people that created it did an amazing job. This is for kids. I would say 12 and younger, but families are always looking for good families. The young ones, and this is a combination of the little drummer boy meets the Nutcracker suite. It has animation along with live action, and I'm very honored to be the narrator the story. And it's just a wonderful Christmas stocking stuffer. And, you know, I used to get stopped all the time. You mentioned Hercules, Dr. But Andromeda, that's when people would always stop me through airports, malls, restaurants, whatever.

Now they stop me and say, hey, please make more movies like God's not dead. What if Abels Feel, let it be light. We want more family stuff. Well, here's some more family stuff right here. So please go to Walmart, go to Amazon. The website is Christmas DreamsThemovie.com. That's Christmas Dreams, themovie.com. What, do you have a fights or do you a target battling it out?

I think Walmart's the number one place to go for our DVDs. I agree. I'm just messing with you. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. And, you know, I don't know. I don't think Walmart's confused about their bathroom. No, they are not. No, they are not. And by the way, one of the things that I enjoy about Walmart, and it's very, and it's kind of strange that you think about it at all, but we still do once in a while buy DVDs. And I like it, but the one thing that I do like is I have a voodoo plan at the house, so that once it scans at the register at Walmart, it's already on my television at home. So I don't even have to open the DVD. I love that.

Wow. I love it. They just scan it, and it's, poop, it's already on my TV through their voodoo plan. So, I don't even, I mean, we have DVDs now that we've purchased that. I don't even open. That's amazing. I don't know they did that. But here's the thing, I love DVD still.

Just like, I like real books. I can't just read books off a Kindle or something. And nothing wrong with that. But, you know, when you grow up in a generation. I know. I still like a DVD and I like a book. A real book definitely has a different feel to it. I mean, obviously.

I mean, obviously, it has a different feel to it from a tablet. But I'm just saying it does have a different feeling of getting into it and getting involved in the story. At least it does for me. I agree with you there. And speaking of books, I mean, I'm looking down here and, you know, not enough. You don't have enough to do. You're writing books with your wife. I mean, you and your wife are just busy all the time then, I guess.

Staying busy. My book out there is True Strength. I do a follow-up book called True Faith, which will be out next spring. And my wife has written a book for, for, um, for, um, um, for, um, um, Home schoolers. We're a homeschool advocates, and she's got a book called They're Your Kids, and people can go check that one out as well. I'm a big fan of that. She actually has a devotional combined with our latest movie, Let There Be Light. Let There Be Light was in theaters for about three months. Yeah, it was fantastic. And they can go to Walmart to pick that up. So when they go to Walmart, get Christmas dreams, and also get my movie, Let There Be Light, which is a wonderful Christmas movie as well.

And that I know that's the one that Sean Hannity was a part of. Yep, John Handy was the financer of it and our executive producer, but he was the best executive producer you could have. He wrote the check and said, when you're done with the movie, let me see it. Wow. He was never there to bother us. Yeah, that's perfect. So let's talk a little bit about homeschooling. How does California deal with that?

Well, about four or five years ago, they tried out a lot because, you know, kids that were homeschooled were testing so much better than kids who were public schooled, and you can't have that. You know that. No, that's impossible. We need to celebrate mediocrity. Yes. We're trying to dummy down our kids, which our public education system is doing. Yes, they've done a fine job of that. They're in the bottom three of 50 states in public education.

So they're very proud of the wonderful work they're doing with the zombie-zombing up our children. So do they have, I know, you know, one thing, like we're in Texas now. And in Texas, they, it's, you know, they're my kids. I can do with them what I want, which I love. when we lived in Pennsylvania, when we were working in Manhattan, Pennsylvania still makes you tie into, you can homeschool them,

but you still have to tie into the school system. They don't just leave you alone. I can't believe California lets you let you do anything without actually having their hooks in you. Well, they're working on, trust me. It's just, but it's growing so fast here right now. And, you know, anything the government runs, it doesn't work very well.

Yeah, no kidding. We need to get the point. public school system away from the government and let this thing get run by like a business. And we need to, I think, I think we're on 27th to 28th in the world with education. And that's pretty bad. This is America for crying out loud. We should have a little more pride. Amen.

The PC world. There you go. All right. So I know that, I know you're busy battling a fire and you're still trying to get the word out for your great films and books. So I'll let you go. But the new one is Christmas Dreams and it's out right now. and tell everybody again where they can get it

and how they can go about doing it and get it so they can enjoy it with their families. It's at Walmart or they can get it at Amazon streaming and they should go to the website, Christmas DreamsThemovie.com. Christmas Dreams, the Movie.com. And a shout-up for my movie opening December 7th. It's called Bernie the Dolphin,

a very nice family movie out from Linesgate. So it's called Bernie the Dolphins. So there's three things people need to do here. Fantastic. Go get Christmas dreams. Go get Let There Be Light and go to the theaters to watch Christmas, watch Bernie the Dolphin. Very simple.

Three very simple things they can do. They can write these things down. If they're in the car, I get it. But if you're at home, write this stuff down. Thank you. Kevin, thank you very much, man. I appreciate it. Be safe.

Please take care of your, please take care of your belongings and your family and help anyone that needs their help. You guys definitely need it. All right. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thanks, Kevin.

Peace.
