So apparently, there's a Wall Street Journal story going around that's saying that Netflix is tied into the decline in sex. Apparently, the Netflix binge and chill for all people are not working out too well because they say one of us usually ends up falling asleep. We hear chewing the fat would like to help you out with this and let you know that if one of you falls asleep, here's an idea. wake up it's time for sex you're welcome a couple of good stories today and i didn't mean that i mean that as from the bottom of my heart i want to start with a couple of good stories as i was you know scouring the internet for stories to bring you here on chewing the fat um i ran across a couple of these stories and i see the good stories all the time and i let them i read them and i think oh, that's nice, and I move on.

I don't even care about them anymore. But this particular story, I thought, you know, people probably need to do a little bit more of this. And we're kind of afraid probably to do it. But the story talks about an Alabama man who went to a restaurant and they see a lady sitting by herself in a booth. And he said, man, I just, I don't, I wouldn't want to have to eat alone. And so he thought about it a minute and he walked over and said, hey, can I sit with you a little bit? And she said, absolutely, sit down. And then they began talking and she said that she had lost her husband and that Friday was going to be their 60th wedding anniversary.

And she was just out to eat alone remembering him. And that's what he asked if it was okay to bring his friends over. And so his three buddies sat down and they ate with this lady and had a great conversation and just became. friends for the evening and I thought man what a great thing to do what a great thing to do and we're all afraid to you see somebody sitting alone and you don't want to go up and impose yourself on them but that might be just the right thing to do I just thought what a good thing to do so the next time you see somebody sitting alone and they look like they need a friend or just how they they shouldn't be sitting alone,

then make them part of your life too. And I mean that. Make them part of your life. It's okay to talk to other people. Another good story. I talked about last week when the guy threw the kid off the balcony at the Mall of America and what a dirt bag this guy was and how he had been going to the mall and tried to talk to women. And he got so mad.

and angry because he's, I don't know, been rejected as he was trying to be Mr. hipster at the mall. So then he became mad. And he said that he went to the mall that day to kill someone. And he originally had planned on killing an adult. And then he decided, you know what, I'm just going to take this kid. And so the mom and this kid were standing outside a restaurant and this guy is standing there and she's like, are we in your way?

You want us to move? And then he just grabbed the kid and threw him off the balcony. Unbelievable. What a, you know, he needs to spend the rest of his life in prison. It was a third floor and this kid, obviously at the time last week was lucky to be alive, right? He's got to go fund me page. And it's already raised, you know, almost a million dollars. But it's also amazing that the kid is doing great.

Great. He suffered minor internal bleeding, several broken bones. He had some fractures in his face and his bones and stuff. But other than that, and I say other than that, and I know that's an awful lot. But it's as if, you know, he fell off a bike. He's doing great. And that is a miracle in itself. and I'm very happy to see that the five-year-old boy is doing great and is a testimony to all the people who prayed for this little boy. And it's also a testimony for the dirt bag that decided he was going to kill somebody and throw a kid off the third floor.

Well, it didn't work. And yet you still have to spend the rest of your life in jail. Let's hope. I'm glad to see it. That's still kind of a good story, right? So all day today, I'm seeing stories about this Northern Kentucky barbecue food truck guy, Bell's smoking barbecue, being in trouble over his t-shirt. Now, Jamie Smith, the owner, said, you know, look, found the Akron on Facebook.

I added the queue. I thought, hey, this would make a cool t-shirt. So I decided to advertise it on Facebook and to get more sales. And so he's got the t-shirt. and the t-shirt is, you know, LGBTQ. And he changes to Liberty, guns, Bible, Trump,

and barbecue. And, you know, it's a T-shirt. And of course, the world is upset. Heaven forbid. You do an accurate, you know, you do a little play on LGBTQ that isn't anything, but LGBTQ equals love.

If it's not that, then you bastard. We want you to shut your business down. We hate. you. So of course, the stories all talk about how he then took the ad down from Facebook and, you know, apologized. And he wrote a statement on Facebook that we apologize if we've offended any groups of people, organizations or individuals with our shirts. We respect all beliefs and lifestyles and want no ill will towards anyone. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The

usual apology. And so I don't know that the apology will be good enough. And of course, I'm tired of people apologizing for everything. But the one thing that the stories aren't talking about, which I am in love with this owner, Jamie Smith. Bell's Smoking Barbecue. At first, when you get to the apology, you're like, no, don't apologize. Stop it.

it's not going to do any good anyway. And you took down the ad? Yeah, he took down the ad that he had bought on Facebook to up the sales of his t-shirt. You can boost your ad on Facebook and, you know, it ups the sales. And he's sold a hundred or so T-shirts, which is, you know, probably great for him. I don't know, you know, how many T-shirts he usually sells at the, you know, the Bell's smoking barbecue truck t-shirts. But, you know, he's out to make a couple of bucks. And he just wants to, you know, sell his merchandise.

online and at the shop when people are buying barbecue. But the best thing about this entire story is, he's still selling the T-shirts. Thank you. He threw out the apology. He took down the ad, but I'm not going to stop selling the T-shirts. They're my T-shirts and you're not making me stop selling them. That's great.

Makes me want to order the Bells of Smoking Barbecue LGBTQ t-shirt. I just may have to do that. I just may have to do that. I also see a story. This could happen to me. And I believe this could happen in our house in a heartbeat. So the story is, a possum was living in this seven-year-old's room for three days before anyone noticed. And I'm thinking, you know, a possum could live in my daughter's room for days.

My daughter could come downstairs in a week and go, you know, I ran out of food to feed the possum in my room. So could I, I'm just going to grab some stuff out of the pantry, okay? I don't know, whatever. What do you think the possum would like to eat? Because he's been eating everything that I throw up there. And I'm like, what?

No, we're not letting us some wild animal in the room. What are you doing? Oh, he doesn't hurt anything. He's just up there. So this little kid tells his parents, you know, I think there's a something in my room

and the parents are like okay we'll go check yeah it doesn't look like anything's in here and then the daughter kid says no there's something in my room and so they're sleeping in the other room

sleep in the spare bedroom that's fine they close it up and then they noticed some things have been moved some other things like some dog food had been eaten. So this animal is roaming the house. So they thought maybe it was a, you know, a rat or a mouse. So they put in some traps. And then three days later, the kid comes running out. It's in the room. It's in the room. It's in the room. And they see this possum in this dress with his head coming out of the little pocket in the closet. Absolutely happened in my house.

100%. I have no doubt in my mind. My daughter would come downstairs after a week. You know, there's a possum living up in my room. Honey, are you okay? Oh, he's fine. He's fine. He's looking a little hungry, though. Is that, are you okay? Oh, he bit me a couple of times, but don't worry about it.

He's a cute little animal. Is that new lipstick around your lips? Are you foaming at the mouth or anything from the possum? I mean, that's where you're in trouble, right? When the crazy wild animals are living in your house. There's no part of this story that it says how the possum got into their home. Like I could see my daughter, you know, sneaking one in. I mean, she's, you know, any kind of animal just sneak.

I'm just sneaking in. Nobody will know. But does one just get into your home? Right. I mean, you got, I sure you have garages where you get animals in, you know, wild animals sneak into your garages, snakes, rats, maybe a possum, you know, something like that. But how do you, how does the possum get into the bedrooms of your home? and just without anybody noticing

and just walk in the front door where you getting groceries and you ran into the kitchen with the groceries from the parking from the driveway and then the possible way. Oh, hey, the door's open. I'm just going to go in and check out what's going on. Nobody's seeing me here.

I was going to hang out. I'm just going to hang out over here on the corner and I probably should put this cigarette out so nobody knows I'm here. This story About a speed trap Set up by Florida police Of course it's in Florida

But they set up speed traps all over And all over the country Every see them here in Texas all the time Don't even get me started And they're little speed traps But apparently the authorities had You know the sheriff's office It set up their little speed trap

Because they had They've been alerted that, you know, they know, look, they know where there's places in different towns and areas and counties and villages or wherever you live that people don't drive the speed limit. I know. I know it's a surprise, but it's true. And so a lot of times, and I know that they have their end of the month quotas. I mean, they don't. What am I talking about? But I know that you know that they have their quotas.

So be on the lookout toward the end of the month. Every police department does. But a lot of times they'll set, if I was a police officer, I would do twofold. I would set up a police officer sitting here and then another one down the road a little ways. Because as soon as you pass this guy, that's when you accelerate. And that's where the next guy nails you. If I was a police officer, that's what I would do. That's just me.

So they set up the speed trap and they're not catching anybody. Everybody's going the speed limit. Now, they should be happy about this. They should have posted, hey, we're happy about this. Thank you for doing the speed limit. We appreciate your safe driving. But no, they didn't. They thought, hey, hmm, why are people not speeding?

How come everyone is just driving the speed limit? Well, someone had made a sign on a piece of plywood and leaned it up against the speed limit sign. pole up the road and warned police ahead. Nice. Thank you. Now, I know in some places, and I'd like to find out exactly why this is a problem, but I know in some places, like if you see a police officer, you know, if they're nailing people in speed traps and you start, you know, flip your lights or trying to warn the oncoming traffic, you get a ticket for that? What? I would be very angry for that. What do you mean? I was just flipping my lights, man.

I was making sure my lights were working. What are you talking about? So, of course, the police are saying, you know, well played. Well, they should just be thankful that this person helped keep the roads safe. Instead of being, oh, well played. We'll catch. We'll find out who wrote this sign. We'll get other people speeding later.

That ticks me off. That really ticks me off. Good job on the sign, though. Thank you. I mean, we've all been in the cities. There's cities all over the country, especially one in Florida, where they have the billboard signs taken up that say don't speed. They give everybody a ticket, and I mean everybody through this town.

What is the name of that stupid town? Oh, it's in Florida. Gosh, darn it. But they have giant billboards outside of the town, and they tell you, don't drive over the speed limit. And they mean that one mile, not one mile, not nothing. I mean, you go through that town. below the speed.

Everybody is just slow driving through that town. Yeah, it was Waldo, Florida. And I've been through Waldo once, a long time ago. And, you know, they had, I know they got into trouble at one point because their speed limit signs went up and down, you know,

multiple times through the area. Like, you know, at one point it was 65. Then it was 55. Then it was 45. Then it was 55. Then it was back down to 45. So they're trying to, you know, trap you. But they put out, you know, AAA, I think was the, might have been AAA,

but for sure there were billboards up saying don't speed, you know, the town will give you a ticket, not even one mile over. And I know that they had a big to do over saying that they were victimizing motorists to turn a profit. Well, duh, that's every police department in America. That's what you heard me. Victimizing drivers to turn a profit. But yeah, that's right. That's right.

Police officers. I appreciate your jobs. And I know you're out there, you know, making the streets safe. But if I'm on an express, an interstate, driving 85 miles an hour, and the speed limit is, well, let's just say off the top of my head, 55. That road should not be 55 miles an hour. I've already decided that. I've got a car that drive handles great at 80 miles an hour. You should not, there's other things for you to be worried about than writing me a ticket.

I mean, that's just me. I could be wrong. All right, I'll do a story now that makes police officers look good and bless their hearts. All right. I know I was beating up a little bit for, you know, speeding tickets and I got it. Don't break the law. Thank you. I know, I know.

You're welcome. You're welcome. But this story, it's kind of accurate. recognizing to me. It's been out for a couple of days. And the first time I read it, I saved it. And I was like, I don't know that I like it. It just bugs me. But I'll tell you the story.

And then we'll discuss it a little bit. So a five-year-old Michigan boy was craving McDonald's. Now, he lived with his grandmother and she was sleeping. So he calls 911 and asks if someone could bring him McDonald's. Okay, right there, I'm thinking, all right, Paul. You're a little five-year-old little brat. So the dispatcher, you know, says she told them, no. There's no one here that can bring you a McDonald's, but she reached out to police.

Well, yeah, if you call 911, even if by accident, the police show up at your house. Not that I'm aware of that, but they do. You know, if you accidentally, in quotation marks, call 911 and then say, oh, never mind. and they'll call back, and if you answer you, hello, this is 911, you call. Oh, yeah, don't worry about it. Everything's fine. Not long after that, the police show up.

Woo, woo. I mean, they show up. They're there. So, the police officer, officer Patterson, got the request, you know, the dispatcher told him what was going on and he laughed. And he's, so he, on his way to check on the house, he's staffed by McDonald's and gets the kid McDonald's.

Isn't that darn? I mean, bless his heart, right? Bless his heart. Now, I thought, I mean, the officer said, look, I'm driving past the McDonald's on my way there. I might as well get him something. Right. I mean, okay, maybe. Maybe.

Maybe I like it. But then the officer said when he got to the house, the first thing the boy said was, my grandma's going to be so mad. Just go away. that kid would not have eaten the McDonald's. Grandma would have paid for the McDonald's. It's just a, I know it's, you know, the whole police outreach program. It's so nice.

But now, this story gets out. And now every kid in America is going to be calling 911 to have McDonald's delivered. I think it'll work. I just go to the break room. I need a drink anyway. A little Coca-Cola zero sugar. You know that. Oh my gosh.

I don't know if I've told you this before. It was so good. You know, maybe, just maybe. And I know we've hashed this out before, but maybe if I were just to stop saying how good it was, Coca-Cola would say, hey, can we sponsor your show? Right, but I'm doing it for free. I'm doing it for free now, so no way they're going to sponsor the show.

so I'm not doing it anymore. All right, I'm not giving Coca-Cola anymore free advertising. That's it. Thank you. Not going to happen. All right, so as long as we're in the break room, we've got some headlines to do.

Passwords for your computers and for your phones and for anything that you need a password for, the number one popular password that has been hacked in the United Kingdom. What is it? No, not one, two, three, four. Ashley.

Ash, L-E-Y. I know. I know. I crinkled my eyes too. I was like, what? That's what they said. Also, a sad news for, and I mean this, it is, you know, really, really sad news for the plant-based meat companies. I know that's a contradiction in terms.

How could you be a plant-based meat company? You know, the company. that are making burgers from plants, only they want to pretend their real meat burgers, those companies. Now they're looking at the possibility of they aren't going to be able to use the word meat on any of their products.

Good! Because they aren't! Thank you. And hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Craft Heinz, what are you doing? I didn't know that you guys were struggling as much as you are. I mean, we're looking at some, they've had, they've had some, they've had some tough times now.

And apparently, uh, the current CEO is going to be replaced, uh, the first of July. Um, why was I not contacted to be the new CEO of Kraft Hines? I don't want to be the CEO of Kraft Hines. Really all I ever wanted to be was a Heinz Ketchap police officer. It's all I ever wanted. I wanted to be a Heinz ketchup police officer. We've talked about that before. I mean, there's restaurants all over the America pretending with Heinz ketchup bottles on their tables,

but it's not really Heinz ketchup in the bottles. Those restaurants should be shut down and find immediately. And I want to be the Heinz ketchup police officer that catches them. Oh, is that the ketchup? Is that a Heinz ketchup? Let's try it out. You know immediately. Thank you.

And we're shutting this place down. Here's my badge. Yeah, I'm a Heinz. Hesgutchev police off. So we're shutting this place down right now. And by the way, writing you a ticket, you're going to be fined. Guilty, guilty, county! No question about that.

They're going down for the count, baby. I will not put up with that. Not one little thing. Not one little time will that happen under my watch. Sorry. Not going to happen. Good news from Costco, too. You know, just hanging out of the break room.

And I'll let you know, remember Costco's bringing back the vodka martini pops. I love it. I don't know if you're a fan of the slim chillers, vodka martini skinny freezers. But, yeah, some fun of those bad boys. Frozen booze? Okay. I've always been a fan of frozen booze. Hey, we talked yesterday about Samsung and their,

Galaxy Fold and how they were looking at the possibility of just kind of postponing that launch. Yeah, that's official. We're postponing that launch. I know. We're just going to postpone a little bit. We've had a couple of issues. They claimed, though, and I'm a Samsung fan, so I'm kind of sticking up for them. They claimed that it wasn't necessarily their fault.

It was some of the user's faults, and they had sent out some people to try it. Now, apparently they've sent out requests that if you got one of the trial phones, we want it back. I'll give it back to us. So we want to see what you got. And we're going to check it out because Samsung, you should have sent me a trial phone. Well, I'm on your side. They're blaming the user? Well, they said, first of all, Taylor, calm down.

With that little tone in your voice, they're playing the user. You go to a restaurant and you blame the customer because your meat's raw. Like, you just can't appreciate the raw meat. Like, you're going to blame them for doing the job wrong? Well, they didn't blame them 100%. They're saying that it's possible that it was user error. All right. Because there were a couple of things like a cover on the fold that it appeared in a couple of the videos had been taken off.

Because people think that it was some sort of, you know, like a otterbox or something film on the phone that you put on to keep it from breaking. That's supposed to stay on. And there was also some things that, you know, it looked like it could possibly be user error. They were just being cautious. But now they've, again, they've postponed the launch. So, you know, they're not blaming the user completely. And they've said, while many reviewers shared with us the vast potential they see, some also showed us how the device needs further improvement.

That's all the phones that they end up burning because it's not everything. So to fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tasks, we've decided to delay the release of the Galaxy 4. We plan to announce the release date in coming weeks. I'm ready for it. I want the Galaxy Fold. Send it to me. I'm all on your side.

And I believe me, I am on your side. And I think that those people who were using your product wrong, man, those they should not be given free phones or I mean nothing nothing okay also I see this one last little story of the break room as long as we're here I see this little headline talking about the six million dollar man film on the way Mark Wahlberg playing the six million dollar man okay the six million dollar man was when is in the 70s with Steve Austin, Lee Majors.

Right, it was in the 70s. All right, hold on. I'm going to find out the year. I found it. Calm down. All right, so it's 74 to 78. All right, four years. Lee Majors played Steve Austin.

We can rebuild him. We can make him faster, stronger, better than he was. The $6 million man. And he had the do-to-do-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to with the eye and stuff. My grandfather used to watch that show with me. That's how I remember that show. And, okay, back in 1974, let's say a $6 million man was something. It was a big deal.

In today's world, the $6 million man, once he got a new shoe. The $6 million man, we've put a new finger on him that works stronger than all the other fingers. And it only costs $6 million. I mean, I don't. don't know. Maybe we need to up a little bit. You know, I mean, I like the, I like the whole idea behind the six million dollar band, but, uh, I think maybe we are we going to make it into maybe a joke, the bionic, the bionic man, the six million dollar man. And, uh, he's like the superhero that can't

really do anything because they only spent six million on them. Uh, I don't know, something to look forward to. It just seems like the six million dollar man. We purchased everything at goodwill. All right, it's time for some chewing the fat education As I'm perusing the internet And the internet is an educational device, right? It's not supposed to be anyway. Today, I learned something that I want to share with you

that I didn't realize. Bricks. Did you know that bricks were such a big thing? Bricks B-R-I-C-S Bricks were such a big thing I mean I started reading a story today about bricks

That's a sad don't look at me like I know it's I know it's my life But then I find out that there's brick collecting.com There's the international brick collectors association dot com Their mantra is the next time you pick up a brick Take a second It may also be a collector's eye them. Why? Mainly because there's a growing interest in bricks that feature lettering, patterns,

brick, pictures, slogans, or dates. Right? So then I, you know, I kind of delve into bricks a little bit. Twenty-seven million bricks used in Liverpool, England's Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse, the largest brick warehouse in the world. One billion bricks produced annually in New York's Hudson Valley at its peak as the brick-making. As the brick-making, capital of the world. 4,400 BC date of the oldest fired bricks. 20 to 50 hours is what it takes to dry fire and cool a brick. Bricks, 25,000 bricks that can be made per hour with modern technology.

25,000 bricks an hour. 5,000 bricks a molder you can make by hand in a day. In a day, without the machine, without technology. Three to four years to become a bricklayer. I'm telling you here in Texas the building that's going on. I don't know if all these guys building brick walls and fences are brick layers or they're just, you know, the bricklayer intern or helper. I think a company has like a bricklayer and he oversees.

Most people look like they're, I'm sure they're from this country. I'm sure they're Americans. I'm sure they're Americans. $50 an hour is the bricklayer union pay in New York City. That's not bad. That's not bad. But it's New York City. Now, right.

But I mean, here in Texas, you're probably making, what, $30 an hour? Is it a bricklayer? Sure. In the wrong business. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You've got to be making, look that up while I'm talking about because I've got some more things on bricks.

but I'm telling you a bricklayer here in Texas, if you're a brick layer and you're not making $30 an hour, that's a problem. Now, if you're a bricklayer, you know, helper, you're probably not making the $30 an hour. Now, if you're the brick aficionado, you know that frog is the indenta, the indentation in a brick where the maker usually puts their stamp.

Facing brick meant to use, I mean, we could just go on and on this list. This thing is fascinating. Dipering is diagonal patterns created with different colors and shades of brick. The Roman brick. Wait, I'll tell you about Roman brick. Hold on just a second. Geez.

I'm not because I'm in the middle of telling you about a Rome brick, a Roman brick, okay? It's a long, narrow brick. And you remember that Frank Lloyd Wright used this in the Robbie House, but when you see the long, narrow brick, those are Roman bricks. So bricks are the new stamps, essentially. That's correct. I mean, you have the London stock, the Chicago Common, the Fairham Red, Engineering Brick, Common Brick, Facing Brick. I mean, all right, so how much do I make it in Texas as a brick layer? 45 to 60K.

What I tell you? Which would be. Oh, 45 to 60,000 a year. 60K is the top and that would be $30 an hour. Yeah, so that's pretty close. And that's a brick layer. It's brick layer. Okay.

So if you're, if you're, you know, the helper. You're not doing that. If you're the hell for you're, you know, you're making, you're pulling in maybe 30. You say the supervisor makes closer to 90. There you go. It could be closer to $50 an hour. Thank you. You were right, Jeff.

You weren't right. You said the brick layer, not the supervisor. That's the brick layer. No, I'm talking about the brick layer supervisor, the guy that's above it. You know, the brick king, the guy that went. No, the brick layer is the guy. the guy that's just putting the bricks out of the wall is that he's just the helper of the intern he's not the official brick layer that takes three or four years entails your job

i lay bricks stop talking stop talking you don't know what you're talking about right dude i just looked it up you've been the one that's ogling over all these brick designs i was i know i like them i guarantee you some people have already turned off the podcast because they don't want to hear about the brick pattern designs that cannot be true that cannot be true.

and just, you know, punching in home or work and sitting back and letting it take me there. But I don't know how crazy I am about, you know, seeing it. So it would seem different if I'm, it's just, I know it's an odd way of looking at it because, you know, okay, I'm sitting in the back or at the front and I push home and then it just goes. But if I'm driving somewhere,

and then I see, you know, cars go by me with nobody in them as they're going to pick someone up. Because I know that Elon Musk talked about wanting a million robotaxies on the road by next year. A million robotaxies. I mean, that's amazing. That'll be some serious robo taxis. And, you know, good luck. Good luck with that. But I also saw where now there's...

starting to have these remote controlled trucks. And it's almost like drone trucks. So the driver could be in, let's say, Dallas, Texas. But the truck is delivering something in Los Angeles. And so, you know, the cab of the vehicle, however it is, has, you know, cameras and it's cameras set up and everyone in remote control. So you're driving it. and delivering it in your, you know, in your front room at the house.

And, you know, you're pulling into the garage in Los Angeles. Now, I don't know. We'll see. I like that idea, I think, better than the actual, just the plug in the coordinates and go of the trucks. I like that. I'd like to get the thoughts. I might have to do another trucker show. I'm a big fan of truckers,

and I know that these kind of stories have really got to be hurting the truckers. Because all the stories are driverless trucks, drone driving trucks. You've been driving a truck for 50 years, and now they want to have little Billy who's been playing his Xbox for 30 years, driving in downtown Dallas, delivering a driving across country. and making it, you know, delivering it to L.A.

And then driving it back seems a little weird. And how many could you drive at once? Like if you had, if I had, let's say you use three screens a truck, right? And so you could drive, you know, at this time, at this time I'm driving three trucks this week. One stopped right now in Provo. so I don't have to worry about that one. I've got this one on cruise control doing 80 through Nevada, and I'm delivering tuna fish in Atlanta,

and I'm in my front room in Dallas. I kind of like the sound of that. Now we're talking about some making some money. The truckers are not going to be happy about that, though. The truckers on the road are not going to be happy about that. So maybe we do have another trucker show and get their thoughts, because times are tough for truckers. And they're some of the most important vehicles on the road.

They're delivering goods and services all across this great country. It wasn't for them. Is there any bread on the shelf? No. No, sorry. No bread. What happened? There's no truckers.

Oh. Oh. Okay. Well, that's good to know. No, it's not. We want things delivered here in this country. We want it delivered now. That's what those truckers are doing.

But I like the idea. I do like the idea of the drone remote control driving. I don't know why. Somebody's going to have to talk me down, but I kind of like it. And I'll leave you with a story that should make you feel better. If you think yourself, man, I'm just having a bad day. Nothing I do is right. I just feel like I'm plugging along.

I can't get things right. A road crew, of course, in the great state of Florida, had been painting the roads, and they were painting a pedestrian crossing in the road, as my mother used to call it, pedestrian crossing. And it was a school crossing. And, you know, how they do that. They put the yellow lines, and then, you know,

the big letter, school, you know, and they cross it. Except that they, in school is spelled S-C-H-O-O-L. Everyone knows that. Except that this road crew spelled it S-C-O-H-O-L. So the road crew couldn't even spell school correctly on the school crossing. Now, it was pointed out by a local citizen as they tweeted the school saying, Hey, what is this? Well, there was really no telling how long that had been there.

since they had worked on the roads quite some time ago. Sad. So just when you think you're having a bad day, just know that somebody didn't even spell school right at the crossing. And it wasn't you. Oh.
