So yesterday, I was out and about, and I was driving home from work, and I decided to go to Chick-fil-A. I figured I'd, you know, make a quick run into Chick-fil-A. And, well, actually, that's not true. I was on my way home, and I had to pick up a prescription.

And right next door to the pharmacy that I get stuff from. is a chick-fil-A. And so often when I go to pick up things at the pharmacy, I think, oh, man, the chick-fil-a smells so good, and then I drive away. Well, yesterday I pulled up, and I'd forgotten that the pharmacy now gets a lunch break. What kind of, it just drives me insane.

Since the pandemic, you know, they shut the pharmacy down for 30 minutes every day so they can get a lunch break and clean. Ugh. Anyway, so I pull up in there, you know, it's the lunch break time. I was so ticked. So instead of driving home, I figure, well, I'm here, right?

I'll just swing around and drive through Chick-fil-A, grab a, you know, a shake and a chicken sandwich, and I'll just hang out and wait for the pharmacy to open back up from their lunch break. And so I do, I swing around. I'm like, pull it. Yeah, like, you know, I make my order, and of course my order includes a large chocolate shake, please. and we don't have larges anymore. We just have the one size. It's just the ones.

We don't have larges. What? This is unacceptable. And I even say, are you, no, seriously. I'm talking to this. This kid at the, through the microphone, I was like, no, dude, I know.

It's funny. Just give me a large. No, I'm sorry. That's all we only have the one size. So, you know, I don't take whatever size you got there. fine, whatever. And they really actually, I mean,

they overfilled the size that they gave me. It was nice of them. When you say, how do they do that? Well, they have a little plastic cup, you know. Anyway, with the plastic top on it. Anyway. So, I mean, it was a full chocolate shake. But I had tweeted about it at Jeffrey JFR.

And some of your comments, you know, I kind of got me thinking. I realized that the original joke is, well, just buy two then. Duh. Well, yeah, you know, I mean, what am I? A glutton? Don't answer that.

So, apparently, many places haven't had large coffee cups or large slurpy cups or, you know, large fountain cups for a long time. So when I said in my joke tweet about Chick-fil-A, what are they stuck on a ship waiting to be offloaded? it's very possible that they are. This is unacceptable, man. This used to be America. You know, we used to go to a place and they'd say, we don't have that. We're out of it.

You'd think, oh, okay, well, when are you going to get it back? A couple hours from now? Maybe I give you until tomorrow. Nope. We'll be lucky to have it in a few months for you. Oh, okay. And I took my daughter to a Starbucks.

A few days ago, and I thought, well, I'm here. All right, give me a French vanilla cappuccino. We don't have any French vanilla, sir. Well, things are getting out of control when I can't get a large chocolate shake or a French vanilla cappuccino. What the hell is going on? Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I got some news yesterday also, other than realizing that, uh, other than realizing that, uh,

Maybe I don't need that large chocolate shake. Perhaps you didn't need that French vanilla cappuccino a couple of days ago, fat man. Maybe you ought to need to work out. Well, okay, I'll give you that. You know, I mean, my son is a workout guru. I mean, he has his own business, better you performance. That's what he does, man.

But I realize now why it doesn't matter whether I work out or not. Because according to new studies, many people who begin new exercise programs and see very little improvement in their fitness and their health in, you know, weeks after studiously sticking with their new routine, which is, I mean, when you think of studiously sticking to a workout routine, you should think of me. And then nothing happens. You just see very little improvement, if any. Well, we're part of a group called non-responders now.

that's what I am. I'm a non-responder. So it's a new study that says people who have this problem where the workout system and the weight regimes and everything don't work out for you, you are part of a non-responder. That's what I am. I now have a group that I'm a part of that I don't have to be discouraged anymore. I don't have to feel bad. I can say, hey, hey, hey, sorry, okay, I can't work out.

It doesn't do anything for me. I'm a non-responder. Yeah. So it doesn't matter your age or your sex or your ethnicity. Doesn't matter. Young, old, anything. Doesn't matter. White, black, whatever.

It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work for you, you are a non-responder. So that's me. I'm so happy to know that I'm part of a group now, part of a very special non-responder group. I should have my son on and talk to him about this because I'm pretty sure that he's going to not believe this study. And we're going to have to have a fight about it.

So maybe I'll put him on chewing the fat. We'll have a conversation, not a fight, a conversation. about me being a non-responder. Okay, congratulations to the top 50 radius cities in America. Orkin has just released the 2021 top radius cities list. And a yay, yay! And number one for the seventh consecutive year, Chicago. Yay.

Yay. I'm breaking into the top 10 this year, though, a city that hasn't been there before. Cleveland, Ohio. Congratulations for breaking into the top 10. Picking up a pair to number six is Baltimore. And picking up a pair from the 10th slot is Detroit. Congratulations.

I know. I know. So the top 10, radiest cities in America. I already told you number 10. Cleveland just broke into the top 10 this year. Denver, Detroit. And the rest of these cities were all in the top 10 last year. So they're just, you know, Detroit, Baltimore,

Detroit and Baltimore were in the top 10. They just moved up. Denver stayed at number nine, Philadelphia, number seven, San Francisco, number five, Washington, D.C., number four. Boy, if you counted human, that they should actually be number one. New York,

Los Angeles and Chicago are the top 10 radiest cities in America. Now, number 50. Number 50 is a little disheartening for me because I don't know that I believe it, but you know, I mean, say here, Orkin says so.

Tampa. Tampa, Florida is number 50 on the, it's up nine spots. Woof. Tampa, what are you doing? Orkin, get to work. Get rid of some rats in Tampa. Come on now. What do you think you're doing?

I mean, small crumbs and garbage are popular food sources, as are the dry goods such as grains and cereals. These should be kept in sealed metal or glass containers to prevent contamination, clear out the clutter. Okay, cardboard objects. First of all, the rats can chew through anything, man. And they use them for nest. If you have cardboard boxes, clean your house, organize crowded spaces. I mean, I have a tough time with that, but this is what you should do. Don't let any landscaping run wild.

Inspect both inside and outside your homes. Look for possible entry points. I mean, rat infestation is not fun. You can quote me on that. Rat infestation is not fun. So, and look, we already, we do stories all the time about, you know, the cities in Colorado out west. of Wyoming that, you know, the plague is still... No, thank you.

I do not want that, Sam, I am. No, I do not want that problem. And neither do you, really. I don't want you to get the plague, okay? So kill rats, that's my motto. Pita would, you know, they hate me for this. We've had rat fights before with Pita because I think it's silly that we even attempt to, you know,

No, not kill them. Oh, you have to live with them. They're animals too. No. No, baby. They need to go away. Have a nice day. Get out.

Okay. So, of course, with Tampa breaking into the top 50, Miami and Tampa are a couple of the big cities in the great state of Florida. Looks like Michigan has two or three cities. You've got Flint, Michigan, Detroit, obviously number eight in the top ten. And Grand Rapids, Michigan. Wow. Grand Rapids, Michigan is number 32, the radiest city.

What state has the most? I'd bet. If I had to bet, I would say it's probably Ohio. Let's see. Cleveland? Yep. I guess that's still in Ohio. Let's keep going down the list, shall we?

Columbus, yep. That's still in Ohio, I believe. I don't know. It could be wrong. I think it's still there, really. in the great state of Ohio. Nah, it's only got a couple. You got Cleveland.

Well, no, wait, you got, you have Cleveland number 10. They broke into the top 10. Columbus is number 26. And Cincinnati and Dayton. So they have four in the top 50. Ooh, Ohio. What are you doing?

Texas, of course, Houston and Dallas. I mean, I don't know. I guess Dallas, these are all just the proper cities, right? You're not talking about the greater DFW, the greater Detroit, greater Philadelphia. I mean, you're looking at the city limits, I guess, is this study. They say that this is Orkin-ranked metro regions by the number of new road treatments performed from September 15th, 2020 to September 15th, 2021. It includes both residential and commercial treatments.

Yeah, it's in the major, it's just in the inside those city limits. So, you know, I mean, Illinois's got a few or two in Chicago and Champaign. New York has four, too, now that I'm looking at this list, you have, you know, New York proper. And then you head down the list to Albany. Yep, okay, there's number two. I know I saw a couple more in New York as well. Syracuse, Buffalo, four cities in New York. So four in New York, four in Ohio, in the top 50.

Congratulations. Pennsylvania has a couple, right? Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, it looks like. Although I will say Philadelphia is number seven, and Pittsburgh is number 16. Those are pretty high numbers. You start spreading out a little bit the greater Pittsburgh, Philadelphia area. So anyway, congratulations. to the top 50 raddiest cities in America from Orkin.

Congratulations. You should be proud. You should be proud. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink and think more about rats because I do not like rats. Oh, oh, man. I remember having to fight them. Last time I had to fight a rat, still living in Florida, Tampa Bay.

Not Tampa, though. Tampa Bay. He was living technically in Seminole, I think. Yeah, which is a suburb of St. Petersburg. It's Pinellas County. Anyway, you know, we had an issue. Man, it took me. I had to fight those sons of...

Oh, man, I hated those bastards. That one I've told the story before. I heard of the first one I went after. I remember going out into the garage, and when you'd come out in the garage, you'd scare them. You'd make that noise, and you'd hear that.

And, uh, oh, so what I did is I was out in the garage and, you know, I heard the, and so I shut the light off and closed the garage door, but I didn't go in the house. I just stood there and waited until I heard a, and I clicked on the light and he ran up the spring to the garage door, jumped along the top of the garage door.

And before he was right in the middle of the middle of, the garage door on this ledge and he turned to me, took a final drag of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt down on the garage and jumped up into the attic. There was an attic space up above the garage and he jumped up from that ledge. I was so mad. I first went over and put out his cigarette butt burning in my garage and then I went and got the non-peda stamped glue sticks and put them in the garage. And if you've ever caught any kind of animals or rats on a glue stick, it's not pretty, but you catch those sons of guns.

All right, let's go to the break room already. Well, yeah, I need something to drink again. Yeah, I mean, I was pretty angry. I didn't care how I killed the rat and rats, plural, but I wanted them dead. And I got them dead, sons of guns. So did you see where Tom Hanks? I got his little feeling. her, Tommy.

Oh, no. So he claims that Bezos offered him a seat on a space flight before William Shatner. So, first of all, he's mad because William Shatner got to go on the space ride.

They asked me first. They asked me first. They asked me first. But, according to Tom, Jeff Bezos said, hey, I'll give you a ride on the space flight for $28 million. Now, Hank says, I ain't paying $28 million.

So maybe that's true. Perhaps Bezos did approach, I mean, he's the type of person and has the type of money that could afford to fly on any space flight, right? So why wouldn't you approach people like Tom? So he's just pissed. I mean, we were told that. Shatner didn't pay, right? He got asked to go as a guest. So he's, you know, he's just trying, I was asked first.

I was asked paid, you know, it cost $28 million or something like that. So it doesn't cost $28 million. Tom, you were just pissed that you didn't get asked to do it for free and that William Shatner got all the press for it. It'll be okay, Tommy. It'll be okay. I mean, if you hear the William Shatner flight, maybe you did want to go on that flight. I know you were mocking it on Kimmel with your, oh, I can, it's 12 minutes, right?

I can do that at home. I don't need to spend $28 million on that. Oh, okay. All right. No problem, Tom. I just got your feelings hurt. It's okay. We'll, we'll get over it, and you will too, baby.

It's okay. You know, the other day we were talking about Billy Joel selling his catalog, and he said that he really wasn't. thinking about selling it, but if he wouldn't completely rule it out. He said, if someone offered me a billion dollars, what am I going to say? No. So he put a price tag on his catalog, billion bucks. You want the Billy Joel catalog? It's for a billion dollars.

Now, that would be worth a billion dollars, I think. I mean, that's a monster catalog. And when you listen, you go down the list of the greatest hits of Billy Joel, you're there, right? I mean, you're there. I mean, Dylan sold his. for four or five hundred million, right? And I mean, Dylan's catalog is huge too, but just not as huge

as Billy Joe. I'm sorry. I like by, I love Bob Dylan, but he did not create the monster that Billy Joel created. And now I see where we have Bruce Springsteen in talks selling his recorded music to Sony

music. A, no, why do you want Bruce Springsteen's freaking music? He's awful. but I know you like him. Don't look at me like that. I know you're talking about the boss, Bruce Springsteen. Yes, I know.

And I know that he is, you know, one of, and this is what it says in this story that Bruce Springsteen is one of the most successful recording artist in the past 50 years, 65.5 million album sales in the U.S. alone. Okay. According to this, Billboard estimated that the Springsteen album catalog generated about 15 million in revenue in 2020.

And that's his publishing catalog brings in about $7 million a year. So if you're looking at Springsteen, $65.5 million in album sales in the U.S. alone. I mean, Billy Joel has sold 150 million records. More than double Bruce. And so I'm sure he's worth, I mean, Billy is worth at least a billion. But no way,

$500 million, $400 million maybe. I mean, that's what they want for, that's what I said, Springsteen is asking for, right? Because Dylan got,

there's reported Dylan got $400 to $500 million for his. So Springsteen, Bruce is up there with him. Plus, he's agonizing. He's saying, out with Obama now.

And I know I would try not to get political on this show, but he's hanging out with Obama now. And not long ago, they did an interview where Obama called all of Springsteen's listeners pretty much racist. And Springsteen agreed with them. They should just sell his albums and burn him in a pile. What was the comment he made? So he's doing an interview,

and Bruce and Obama are sitting side by side. I know they do their little pop. podcast thing together, which I've, you know, I could, don't know that I can take listening to the whole thing, but they do it. And I guess they've become friends. But Obama is sitting there talking about Clarence Clemens, the saxophone player. He may have played other instruments. I don't know. I've never seen Springsteen live, don't want to, and I don't need to. But I'm aware of, you know, the other musicians in his group. So Clarence Clemens is their, uh, saxophone player for sure. And Obama is talking about Springsteen's fans and how they're a primarily white audience. And it's just, I mean,

I just want to punch him. I know you can't and you won't and he's the former president and I, you know, all that blah, blah, blah. But he has this smirk look on his face. I just want to punch him. But here is what he said and it makes me so angry.

What Bruce and clients portrayed on stage was essentially a red one. That's right. There's him playing. They can love Cleggleck. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. I agree, Barack.

Yeah, yeah. Suddenly the N-word comes out. And Bruce agrees with him. They ought to just run them all out of town. That's agonizing. No one, no one would see Clarence Clemens. No, I realize that there are some of the white supremacists out there. There's acceptance to every rule, Jeff.

But nobody goes out to a restaurant in. 2000, since he's been president. In the 2000s for years, no one has gone out and said, oh, there's an N-word in my restaurant at a bar, whatever. My gosh, he has no idea about this country, and he continues to try to divide us racially. And it is actually agonizing and very, very frustrating. Maddening. Maddening is what it is.

Anyway, I'll calm down. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up, but, you know, I did, and then you had to get me mad. I'm sorry. So let's just remind you that follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Follows me on Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. I've got my YouTube channel Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

You can donate and help raise some money for our rescue and help raise some money for me to shave my head coming up in a couple of weeks. November 19th, I'm going to shave my head on my Facebook and Instagram pages live. hashtag shave head save human and you the links are up on my social media accounts in the bio and you can donate to oh you are thank you to all of you who have donated already i appreciate it i'm trying to get to six thousand dollars that's my goal and because it takes six thousand dollars to rescue well it takes six thousand dollars to help someone get reacclimated to life

after they've been rescued from human slavery. And OUR not only rescues them, but they pay for legal documents and medical travel to their country, food and water, transportation and education, vocational training for that survivor for one year so that they not only just rescue them, they don't throw them out on the street again.

Okay, you've been rescued from that guy. Get out. No, we want them to actually, you know, have a success. full life beyond that. And it takes some doing to make that happen. And it takes about $6,000 for a year, for one rescuer. And so I want to raise that amount.

So you can help out by doing that. And of course, you know, you can do it on. You don't have to go to the link inside my bio of social media. You go to Our Rescue.org.

and then scroll down to the Jeffie fundraiser. It's just easier if you click on the link in my bios. So just go ahead and do that. Okay, I'm calmed down a little bit now. I can talk a little bit about Salma Hayek, who, oh my gosh, this might get me angry again, too. I don't know that I want to talk about it now. She is doing an interview saying,

Harvey Weinstein used to scream, I didn't hire you to look ugly during the making of Frida. Okay. So that's a problem because if I remember correctly, I could be wrong, but she was nominated for some awards for that movie. So, I mean, it worked, right? She is.

She got an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for that movie. So it worked. I didn't hire. Thank you. It was his movie. Well, please, Selma, act your best, okay? I know it's different coaching styles

and we're not supposed to coach in a mean way. And maybe that's old school thinking. I know. And look, the guy's a dirt bag. We know that. I'm not. It sounds like I'm sticking up for Harvey to be a dirt bag. No, I'm not.

He is a dirt bag and was a dirt bag. But if you're trying to be part of the I was beaten up by Harvey Weinstein crowd too. And all you have is he hollered at me when I was making a movie for him. And that's the movie that I was nominated for an Oscar in. It seemed like maybe the hollering worked for you. But okay. All right.

Yep. You know what? He's a dirt bag. I got it. Black Friday is here at IKEA and the clock is taking on savings you won't want to miss.

All right, I'll just catch you up a little bit on some COVID headlines from around the globe. the United Kingdom authorizing the Merck antiviral pill first shown to treat COVID. Yay! I mean, I thought we already had that with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but no, that wasn't stamped with the Merck stamp. So good.

All right, good. Families could be denied death benefits for unvaccinated loved ones. Oh, that's good. New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority is denying the 500,000 death benefits to the families of the unvaccinated subway bus and commuter workers. Florida second graders suspended 36 times for mask mandate violation. Starting in August, this little girl served her first punishment of a referral and silent lunch in an office hallway all alone, because the seven-year-old did not want to wear a mask. And after she had completed every assignment that her teacher would provide,

they claim that she's failing second grade and that there's no way she could catch up. So they're just going to fail her out. And they wonder why she won't comply? Because she's a little kid won't comply. They can't make this little girl comply. And they're doing everything they can to make this little girl comply. And of course, we know that the judge struck down DeSantis' ban on mask mandates. So, I mean, the school boards are all happy.

Yay. That's a win for teacher safety. Is it? Is it a win? Because I see a lot of pictures with all you teachers at awards in your little parties and awards shows without masks. But it's a win. It's a win in school for you.

So good. San Francisco health officer. says children 5 to 11 will be required to show proof of vaccination. That's good. I heard, and I mentioned going to the pharmacy yesterday. I heard the message that they left for me telling me that, you know, the prescription was ready to pick up. When you call back and have to go through the hoops to get to your message or talk to a pharmacist,

they remind you that, hey, those kid vaccinations are going to be here in a couple of days. So get ready to line up. line your kids up to get vaccinated. Yay! Just agonizing. And a COVID-19 victim who was all wound up because they claimed that

their dad, the 98-year-old man who died of COVID, was dissected in front of a paying audience in Oregon without his Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon.

I just want to, I never pronounce it right, so I just want to get it right. I know it's Oregon, okay. Without his family's knowledge. Wait, what? Yeah, including his widow, they learned that an autopsy demonstration at a Marriott ballroom in Portland. So audience members paid 500 bucks a ticket to attend this morbid pro. The event was part of the traveling oddities and curiosities expo, which features occult art and sideshow performances and promotes itself as the nation's foremost community of all weird things.

I thought this was like a hospital thing or something. So apparently his body was given to Med Ed Labs, a Las Vegas company. His family members were under the impression his corpse would be used for private medical research. Right, okay, that's what I was thinking that it was. Not as a centerpiece for the traveling freak show. I mean, does it matter, really? I guess, I guess. I mean, you already said it was okay, and they gave it to the med ed labs.

I don't know if they charged you any money. I mean, the place should give you a cut. They're charging $500 a ticket for this. You should at least get a cut from that, right? According to the family, though, they said they could guarantee the man knew his body would be used for medical research. Okay. So, all right.

I guess it's a little dishonest that they decided that they were, you know, they gave it to med ed labs. And then it ended up at the traveling curiosity. I'm sorry, oddities and curiosities Expo. All right. bring him out here. Let's wheel him on out here. Let's dissect him. All right, let's go. That's a heck of a show. But the family is a little unhappy. I don't know. I mean, I guess I can't blame him, but you let him go. You said it was okay. So what happens to him after

that, I guess is not your problem. And we know that today, if you're listening live on the 4th of November 2021, that the White House is going to require 100 million workers to be vaccinated or tested weekly by January 4th. It's the OSHA is going to be on top of everything and they're going to provide fines for noncompliance. Yay! So the first rule was issued by OSHA. covers companies with more than 100 or more employees applying to an estimated 84 million workers. Companies must ensure that their workers are either fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 4th or that they test negative for COVID-19 at least once a week.

The rule will take effect as soon as it's published in the Federal Register. Workers must get paid time off to get vaccinated under the OSHA rule. Employers must pay workers for the time it takes to get vaccinated and provide sick leave for workers to recover. from any side effects. And that's what's going to happen to the pilots, right? That's what they're saying, the final day to get vaccinated for the pilots. And the ones that aren't vaccinated already are going to get vaccinated,

but they have to be allowed to get time off and they have to be allowed to have side effect days off. So how many ever that is, the pilots are just going to take it off. It's going to be like a COVID-19 strike. So if they will, I guess, I guess the, you know, behind the scenes reports are saying that the pilots that are going to get back. vaccinated are going to do it at the very last minute and take every second that they can just to prove a point to the government. I don't know that that proves a point.

All it does is clog up the airports. But, you know, good. You know, fine, whatever. Employers don't need to pay for testing. So that means that you are going to end up having to pay for those tests. And unvaccinated people must wear masks. Oh. what about vaccinated people?

No, they don't have to wear a mask. So just you, we're going to know that you're unvaccinated because you've got to wear a mask around work. So that's special, right? I mean, right? I mean, plenty of companies are going to have rebellion. There's no doubt about it. We're already hearing stories about workers at Boeing,

workers at Mercedes. they are not happy, and they're saying that they are, you know, they just, they just won't work. They'll just lose their jobs. Okay. Well, we're going to get rid of millions of jobs? I mean, you're just going to shut down the country, man, and it's not going to be pretty. And maybe that's what they want.

Maybe that's the end goal. I don't know. I'm just, I'm really, really tired of it all. And, I mean, it was reported. I bet you this was the first show. I'd be willing to make that bet. Could be wrong. But I'd be willing to make that bet.

This was the first show that said, hey, the pandemic is over. The pandemic is over. It's done. And I mean, we're seeing stories, you know, at the blaze about Bill Maher, the pandemic's over. We didn't see a story. Jeff Fisher chewing the fat. Pandemic's over. I mean, there might be a reason for that.

But that's another story. But I'm telling you it's over. You go out, I mean, every week. weekend across America, hundreds of thousands of people are getting together in football stadiums. And the baseball stadiums, we watched the World Series last week. Stadiums all over the country are gathering to watch games and very few are masks. And if you want to wear a mask, great. Very few, you know, who's vaccinated?

Who's unvaccinated? Nobody knows they're getting together and we're not having this massive super spreader events all over the country every weekend. It's not happening. I mean, it's over.

We'd love to talk, business. And as long as we're talking about sports, congratulations to Major League Baseball. They had viewership up 20% from last season. So congratulations.

It's still the second lowest audience ever. They averaged 11.7 million viewers, which is not good. I mean, last year was an all-time low, obviously, you know, the pandemic here, I got you, but, you know, we're up only by 20% over the all-time low, which is, but nowhere near pre-pandemic levels. I mean, the low prior to 2020 was in 2012, which was 12.64 million viewers for a four-game series. In 2012, I forget who was playing in the game. the 2012 world series. I'm sorry.

And then I guess, you know, FBI was the most watched show in primetime after the World Series. I've been trying, I've been trying to get into that. FBI International and FBI Most Wanted. I've been trying to get into him. I just, I just, I record them, you know, I get to him from time to time. NCIS, I mean, Gibbs is gone, right? He's out.

Have a nice day. Gibbs is out. I know he's gone. I don't mind the NCIS without Gibbs. He's okay. The guy that took Gibbs place, Gary Cole. I like him.

He's a pretty big star, actually. He's been a lot of stuff. And he's not bad. He's not Gibbs, but he's not bad. I know that we have, we've had shots of Mark Harmon, Gibbs at his house.

First shots of Mark Harmon after gone from NCIS. He's still. You know, they're claiming he's still a part of the show. He's, you know, officially the executive producer. Oh, okay. All right, no problem. But he's not on the show anymore. And then I was looking at CBS.com, their shows, by the way.

And the cast of NCIS, Mark Harmon's still there. Emerly Wickersham is still there. Mario Bello is still there. Those three characters are gone from the show. So remove them. I mean, they're still part. of the repeats and all that, but not on the weekly show.

Those people are gone. Have a nice day. Anyway, that's what's happening in the NCIS world. All that from the World Series. Having a 20% bump over the worst ratings ever. Congratulations to Major League Baseball. And as long as we're on sports, we can talk about Kyle Bush is in trouble. This whole headline really threw me when I first saw it.

It says NASCAR driver, Kyle Bush, to attend sensitivity training after using R word. And I thought, our word, what the hell is the R word? And then I listened to the interview and I was like, I still, of course, they beep it. You know, we can't even say the R word. So more words we can't say. Words will hurt you apparently. Sticks and stones will still break your bones. But words apparently will.

hurt you even to this day. So for sure, we can't say the N-word. All right, that's that's long gone. Only, well, only specific types of people can say the N-word. And now are there only specific types of people that get to say the R word? Because if you don't know what the R word is, I'm going to say it. All right. I'm going to play what Kyle Bush said. And I will say the r word and if it gets me in trouble it gets me in trouble if i have to go to sensitivity training i'll go to sensitivity training you know and i don't necessarily want to apologize for using the r word because it's really breaks my heart that you can't say it because it's just a word you know it breaks my heart that i can't say the n word either because i should be able

to say these words uh they're only words but i have I've given in, obviously. You can't say the N-word. And, you know, there's others, plenty of words that you can't say on the radio. I'm on the Internet, predominantly on the Internet. So I could say any word I want, really.

There's no community standards, except for the N-word and now, apparently, the R-word. Okay, so I'm going to tell you what it is, so you know what word you can't say. I'm going to be educational here on chewing the fact. because I want you to know what words you can't say. Okay?

All right. So Kyle Bush is giving an interview after the race. And he's pissed. All right. He's pissed at another driver for tapping him and racing cars of hopping and bumping. What's the NASCAR phrase bumping and grinding, bumping and run? You know, if you're a NASCAR fan, you know what you're bumping and grinding. Well, he drills my ass coming out of four for no reason.

I mean, where was he going? What was he going to do? Spin me out? He was trying to do a hard because what he was trying to do. For what? For second place? To do what? He wasn't going to transfer through with that.

He's freaking, man. So stupid. I don't understand these guys. I should be tipped out of them right now is what I should do. But that doesn't do me any good either. Why not? I mean, crafty yesterday said that's what some of these guys know. I've already had to pay enough fines in my lifetime.

I'm sure I'll get another one. No doubt about it. So that was Kyle. apparently you can say ass. You can't say the S word. There's another word you can't say. You can say crap. You just can't say the S word.

You can be crapped on, but you can't crap. So he already apologized in a tweet. He said in one of my post-race interviews, I used a word I should never use, and I want to apologize for it. Wow. So he apologized. He has to go to sensitivity training. You heard him on the interview. He's already

been fined a bunch. He'll probably be fine again. I didn't see any word where he was going to be fined or not. It's possible. I wouldn't surprise me. But he said the R word in that interview. They beep that. It's freaking beep. Stupid, man. So the R word, the word that you can't say anymore. And they also talk about NASCAR is in the news a lot, lady, because let's go Brandon. You know, that's falsely reported, too. I think we've talked about that before. You know, the organic growth of that is incredible. And it says a lot about the feelings toward this administration a lot.

Because they try to turn it into the reporter, who I think was from NBC, reporter lying to the audience. And the reporter wasn't lie. I don't think the reporter really had any political feelings toward it. She was just covering her butt on TV doing an interview. The crowd was cussing F Joe Biden. F, there's another word you can't say, F, the F word. They were saying F Joe Biden.

So instead of saying, oh, those people, excuse me, Brandon, all these people. saying F. Joe Biden, I want to get an interview in with you. She was just talking to the NASCAR driver, Brandon What's his face. And I think that is his actual name, by the way. Brandon What's his face? And so she just covered it. She was just like, yeah, they're cheering, let's go, Brandon.

And, you know, get on with the interview. It wasn't, I don't think it had any political agenda. But the organic growth behind that has been amazing. Anyway, Kyle Bush has said the R word, and he's going to sensitivity training. I don't want you to have to go to sensitivity training. Okay. So I'm just going to let you know that you can't say retarded anymore. People don't like it.

It's a bad word. It's an ugly word. It's just a terrible, terrible word. So don't let me hear you say retarded again. Okay? Don't do it. I don't want you to go to sensitivity training. I don't want to go to sensitivity training.

Although, Nick, for you. a good show, but I don't want to go to sensitivity training. And, you know, Kyle has already apologized. And so, you know, it's a horrible thing. And so don't say retarded anymore in your life, okay?

You got the F word, you get the N word, you got the R word. We are in a strange place, aren't we? All right. I know we're in a strange place. Let me get out of here. You have a great day. I'll leave you with something that I saw earlier this morning that is genius. And I don't know who thought of it.

It was on my Facebook timeline and it was posted from a guy by the name of Jeffrey Harris. I don't know if this is his idea, but it's genius. And if it is his, you're a genius because I will do this this season. It's awesome. So, and you could do this to freak out your neighbors, whatever. Okay, if you live in a place where it snows, all right? Or if you're going to visit someplace, if you live in Florida and you go up north for the winter or something, this is something to do to leave for your friends. It is awesome.

Okay, step one, you take the snow and you build several mounds of snow in your yard. Just build mounds. You don't need to try to doctor them up, you know, like you do snowmen or whatever, just mounds of snow in your yard, multiple mounds of snow. And then you make eye holes in each mound, all right, two holes in each mound, where eyes would go. And then you put in glow sticks in the eyes so that they're glowing at night. And just face it toward your neighbor's house. It looks awesome. I'll post a picture when I post about the show,

but glow sticks for eyes in mounds of snow facing your neighbor's house. It will freak them out. It will be all kinds of fun for you. And, you know, it'll be worth the time spent outside of the cold, making snow bounds. and eye holes and getting, you know, glow sticks. I'm assuming that glow sticks will be available. I don't know.
