Well, we know gas prices are getting out of hand when we're back to seeing recycled cooking oil for fuel products in the news. We know that Chick-fil-A has partnered with a Texas-based manufacturing company to convert the fast food restaurants used cooking oil into renewable fuel. Oh, okay.

And then we see a story of the Airbus 380, the behemoth of the skies, has just completed a trial flight powered on cooking oil. And yes, the results are promising. Yay! Now, how well is it going? Well, they claim that they're trying to achieve this net zero carbon emissions by 20.

And they want to be flying these planes with recycled fuel from cooking oil by 2035. Okay. But when the air, I don't know if you've never been around vehicles that use cooking oil as fuel, they better find a way to make it not smell. Because I'm willing to, you know, save the money. I'm willing to have the vehicles, you know, run for a long time on French fry oil. But I don't know. And this is, I know this is going to sound weird because I love French fries.

I know that's a surprise. I'm a fan of French fries. It just, I don't know that I want the entire neighborhood smelling like French fries every time a car starts up. But, you know, so be it.

Fastgrowingtrees. dot com slash jeffy so the deadline was missed the 10 million dollar jackpot uh no no one picked it up what a bummer that is i mean if you're willing to give the money up i'm okay with taking it but it is the largest unclaimed prize in the history of the maryland lottery and no one came to pick it up the exon location

that sold the winning ticket, tried to advertise the unclaimed prize to find the winner to no avail. I'm surprised they didn't look at the video footage, though. And at the time, the lottery ticket was purchased to see if they knew the customer, that kind of thing. Maybe they did. And they just, they didn't. I mean, I don't know. It just seems strange that you'd have a $10 million lottery ticket and then, you know, stuff it in your car seat or maybe you accidentally threw it away in the fast food bag you bought lunch.

in after you bought the tickets. I don't know. That just seems, that stinks really bad. And I guess if you knew that it was you and you threw the ticket away or you don't know what happened to it, that almost makes it worse. So the fund, the money goes into a fund for second chance and bonus prizes in their unclaimed prize fund. I mean, billions of dollars go unclaimed according to, you know,

the experts. They have, in 2017, they talked about $3 billion when unclaimed. Wow. Okay. They're saying that, you know, 160 on the claim prizes in 2017 were worth more than a million dollars. That's a lot of money to leave just unclaimed. I get it, though.

I get how you would do it. It just really, I mean, I wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to go. Isn't that you? Fat man who bought the ticket here at 2.32 p.m. in the afternoon? What did you do with that ticket? I don't know. Oh, you could have had $150 billion. Well, no, I couldn't because I don't know where it is. The largest unclaimed lottery ticket right now, I think in the world, is the 64 million euro lottery prize from the UK. I mean, that would...

I mean, maybe Grandma bought it and she passed away and then the house gets cleaned up and it gets thrown away. There's so many ways for it to happen. It just really stinks. So a good rule of thumb. Keep an eye on your lottery tickets. Okay. Another good rule of thumb may be to keep an eye on your mobsters

who are in jail or in custody. So a New York mobster, the notorious New York mobster, who killed three people, attempted to kill two others, has escaped from federal custody. Now, he was recently moved to a halfway house, according to the Bureau of Prisons. Dominic Todayo, the hit man from Rochester. That's, I mean, he was part of the Rochester area crime family.

Escapeed March 28th. All right. Okay, so he's just gone? Yeah. He was at a medium security lockup and he was being transferred to a residential halfway house and then he failed to return from an authorized medical appointment. Oh, so you let him out, he's wandering around, and he just never came back. Yep, that's about it.

So he's placed on the escaped status on the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Oh, that's nice. I know he escaped one time before, but this time he's at this halfway house because they're getting ready to let him out, right? his scheduled release, I think, is in a year or so away. So I don't know why he would just leave, right, unless he's, you know, wants to be thrown back in prison, I guess. It doesn't make much sense. You know, back in 92, he pled guilty to racketeering charges that included the killings of three men during the mob wars in the 80s and the early 80s. But,

But before he went to prison, he was released on bail in 87, and he left. He took off. And he was gone for two years. They didn't know where he was until they finally caught up with him in Cleveland at his brother's house. I love the report of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Small balding and looking hardly like a mob hitman who investigators say gun down three underworld figures, Dominic Todayo returned to federal court in shackles. So, but he was almost, he was almost free.

And now he's gone again. It's kind of weird. Unless, uh, he was not going to be free ever. And the mob was unhappy and the mob helped him to, uh, break away this time. And he is, uh, you know, buried in some landfill somewhere. That is very possible. But, you know, it's been quite a while. and it seems like he would be, you know, another year and halfway house.

He's out. He's free. So, I mean, he tried to get out last year for a compassionate release because saying that he had hypertension and he had obesity and he was at risk for serious complications from COVID-19. And the judge said, yeah, no, no, that is not going to. happen. The medical records, according to prosecutors, did not show that Tadio was particularly unhealthy. That's the way I feel, I think. I'm particularly, I am not particularly unhealthy. Doesn't make you healthy. It just means you're not unhealthy. So anyway, keep your eye out for the fugitive, the mob killer fugitive, Dominic Tadio.

Not in the loose in Florida, or at least that's where he escaped. Could be a lot of places by now. Before we head into the break room, have you ever browsed in incognito mode? You know, it's probably not as incognito as you think. And why would it be? Chances are the browser you're using has made its fortune by tracking your movements online. And what do the big tech companies say when they're called out for collecting user data? Oh, well, incognito does not mean invisible.

So here's the question. How do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online? You use ExpressVPN like I do. Turns out that even incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked and data brokers still get to buy and sell your data. One of these data points is your IP address. Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you

and your location. But with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked. Every time you connect with ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by many other ExpressVPN customers. That makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data. Best of all, ExpressVPN, super easy to use. No matter what device you're on, phone, laptop, or some.

TV. All you have to do is tap on one button for instant protection. And it is a really nice feeling when you see that ExpressVPN is connected. I mean, I log on to my laptop and I'm like, oh, okay, fine, my IP address is now masked. So if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with the number one rated VPN.

So good. National Championship men's basketball last night. Kansas defeats North Carolina was an exciting game. The Jayhawks came back to the, from the largest deficit, 16 points to win the game. Looked like North Carolina was going to be the spoiler for number one Kansas, but to no avail. So congratulations to Kansas, and I hate saying that because, you know, being a Missouri fan, I'm not a huge fan of Kansas. But congratulations to them. I see where they continue to want me to like women's sports.

And I do. I like it, but they're just pissed that nobody watches it. And they're trying to force me to watch it. And it's just, you know, show me something good and maybe I'll watch it. I mean, I see where South Carolina, congratulations, won its second women's college basketball title in six years, beating Connecticut. 64 to 49. Wow, pounded them.

But, you can quote me on that. Yeah, the Gamecocks pounded Yukon. And so, okay, I mean, congratulations, but did I watch it? No, did I watch the men's? Yes. So if I have to apologize for that, I'm not going to because that's just the way it is. If I had a daughter that was playing in any of these women's sports, absolutely I would follow them. No question I would pay attention.

And I'd be a part of it, but I don't. And so being a male, identifying as a male, identifying as he, him, sir, mister. Yeah, I'm going to watch the men's. Again, I'm not going to apologize. I am sorry for not being sorry. Wait, I'm not sure that works right. Looks like my man Ye is struggling with some more mental health issues. Jeffrey does that every day.

Yeah, well, some days are better than others. Yeah, you could quote me on that. But he just pulled out of Coachella. And I tell you what, I really am. I've said this on the show before, and I am starting to get a little. pissed that they continue to dead name yay. Every story talks about Kanye West pulling out of his schedule appearance wherever he shows up.

So he's pulling out of Coachella. He's been scheduled to play at the festival. He was going to play the closing night. Coachella's a big deal. I mean, hundreds of thousands of people show up for this stupid event. And they were, you know, he was making all kinds of hands of. headlines, but apparently the mental health is not well right now. And so he needs to take a little time.

Okay. I mean, they were talking about Travis Scott showing up to play with Yeh. And to sing and have put on a performance, but do. I mean, Travis has been, you know, keeping a low profile since the Houston debacle at AstroWorld. But, I mean, 10 people died at Astro World. It was not a pretty thing. But he's been keeping a low profile, and it was looking like he was going to show up at Coachella and be with Yay.

But no, not going to happen. And so you still got the big Coachella festival happening at the Empire Polo Ground in Indio, California. Coming up on, what the heck is that stupid event? The 16th of this month coming up today is the fifth. I mean, it's close. So Yay is pulling out. I mean, days away from the event. All right.

Well, have fun. I mean, I'm sure that, you know, the 125,000 tickets per day of this event, this three or four day event will be, is it three or four a day? 16th through the 23rd. Yeah, five days. 125,000 a day. Foof. Man, that's a lot of people.

That's a lot of people. And they're worried about the, you know, disease transmission. Yeah, when they say they're worried about the disease transmission, I don't think they're talking about COVID, but I could be wrong. Anyway, Yay is out at Coachella. So I watched a show. It's got, I think, eight episodes on Netflix called Pieces of Her.

And the twists in this show were pretty good. I was really bummed with the ending. I thought the ending, I mean, just if you watch it, and maybe you don't watch the maybe you stop halfway through maybe you stop because it was so good

and the twists were so good and it I understood where there was happening but then the end was like why I mean you have to let's put an end of this and maybe they're hoping for season two

I guess I don't know it's just I was kind of disappointed that's all it's just disappointed and I'll tell you another show show that I watched on Prime that was pretty good. Maybe we talked about it already. The Outlaws on Amazon Prime, really good. I enjoyed the heck out of that show.

If you have a chance to see The Outlaws on Prime, I think it's six episodes, worth the binge. Pieces of her definitely worth the binge. It was enjoyable. Some of it got a little stretched out. I feel like it could have been maybe six episodes, but they, you know, they made eight. got to do what you got to do and really disappointed with the ending but other than that it was worth

a watch that's my review that's my review also have you ever watched any of the Euphoria series on HBO Max so I watched some of it I have not watched season two and I'm going to have to now because the star

one of the stars Sidney Sweeney who plays Casey Howard on the show was doing an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, and she admitted that she invited her grandparents to the premiere of season two. And she said she didn't really think about the nude scenes that she played in in the show.

I mean, that's part of euphoria. I mean, hello, sex, drugs, rock and roll, and high school, that's the whole point of the show. Anyway, so she invites her grandparents to the series premiere. and, you know, there's granddaughter nude on the scene. And she was like, oh boy. But she said her grandparents didn't flinch.

And that her granddaughter, you know, said, looked up and grandparents said, hey, they got the best breasts in Hollywood. They didn't use the breast word. They used the word. Can I say that? Yeah, I just did. Okay. So sorry.

but the best breasts in Hollywood. And so, I mean, it makes me want to watch it. I got to tell you. I'm going to tune in the season two of Euphoria because I could be a fan. I don't want to say that Sydney has the best breasts in Hollywood. You know, her grandparents are a bias. I'll give you that.

But I want to make my own decisions. And so I'll let you know if I believe that Sydney's grandparents were correct about her and her looks in season two of euphoria. Now, for those of you that believe that you may have better breasts than the euphoria stars and that are sending your pictures to CVS to get printed out, just know that the CVS employees are able to see all your pictures. We had a CBS employee on TikTok revealed that she's seen customers printing off their private snaps at 9 in the morning at the store's printing facilities, and she doesn't want it to do it anymore. She said, if your order gets placed online, I have to sort through the pictures to make sure the right ones get printed out.

And she's seen everyone's nude photos. And she's tired of it. Mariah from New York City, I don't know how many times you have to say this. Don't print your nudes at CVS. I do in fact see every single one. Now, I will say maybe that's what you want. If you're sending nude pics to get printed out by the CHOP's printing service at CVS, you probably don't care that Mariah is able to see your nude picks.

Okay? All right, good. Now, there's plenty of other online printing service. You know, to have photos delivered home to avoid face-to-face embarrassment. Just you have a shout or fly. And Mariah went on to say that she can only see the customer's photos when they place online orders. If you print them in store, I don't see them. But if you do an online order, I'm the one manually printing them out and packing them.

So if you do not want to, me to print your nudes, do it yourself. Maybe that's what they want. Uh, you know. Apparently, if you're printing nudes, it's some sort of abuse. I don't know. In the same story, they say earlier this month, a Boots employee saved a woman to escape from her controlling husband. She walked into the shop using the code Ask for Annie, A&I, meaning she needed help and assistance from police. When the officer arrived, they arrested the woman's husband, who later pleaded guilty to controlling and coer.

of behavior and assault causing actual body bodily harm. Well, good. That's wonderful. I'm glad that happened. But what does that have to do with our girl seeing people's nudes printed out at the pharmacy? I don't understand. But apparently it has something to do with it in this particular author's mind. Tiffany low

and so Tiffany I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but thanks for putting it into the article I really appreciate it It's hockey season

So yesterday, we talked a little bit about Elon Musk buying a 9.2% stake in Twitter. It may be more now, but we know that he's the biggest shareholder. And he wasn't yesterday, they said, the board. Well, we find out today, uh, you know what? He's going to go ahead and join the board.

Oh, okay. No problem. Elon doesn't have enough to do. You know what? I'm just going to sit on the board for Twitter. He, uh, Parag Aguil, uh, the CEO of Twitter tweeted out today that I'm excited to share that we're appointing at Elon Musk to our board through conversations. with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our board. Is that right? Parag? Okay. No problem. I see that. And then Elon tweeted back saying, looking forward to working with Parag and Twitter toward, looking forward to working with Parag and Twitter, toward looking forward to working with Parag and Twitter board to make significant improvements to Twitter in coming months. Wow.

I mean, the Twitter swamp has got to be bubbling over. Wow. And, you know, they tweeted out the tweet about, do you want an edit button? Elon tweeted out with the question, do you want an edit button? And it was a poll, and he tweeted, yes. or no spelled wrong of course and a parag of course quote tweeted that the consequences of this poll will be important please vote carefully yeah okay now the thing is is that you know it brings up a lot of questions that and a lot of things that you don't really think about when you think about

an edit button because you want to say yeah absolutely we need an edit button and i agree Twitter does need an edit button because there are times when you're like, oh, crap. And you either have to delete the tweet and tweet the whole thing again, or you just leave it up and don't worry about it. But there's plenty of opportunities for ideas about what could happen when you have an edit button. And that's, you know, tweets that have been controversial one for years with supporters, you know, supporters. looking for ways to fix typos, among other things. So when you look at some of the outcomes of an edit button, how would you do it? You have to think about a number of things.

One of the tweets that tweeted back to Elon, which he responded to, that sounds reasonable. Under two conditions, it's only available for a few minutes, five to ten minutes, and when an edit is made, there's a small link that shows the edit. This keeps a public record, but allows the tweeter the ability to fix a simple mistake. and not re-notify their followers of a new tweet. And that is, you know, you look about the argument against the edit button. What if the tweet goes viral, lots of retweets and millions of impressions, and then the author completely changes the meaning,

not just grammatical fix, but a total ideological change, or shameless self-promote, then, you know, what they're saying is that perhaps if you edit it, if you have, if something has already been retweeted or liked, and you edit it, it goes back to zero, and it either disappears like you didn't tweet, you know, if you actually exit, you know, just deleted your tweet,

or it shows that this is a new tweet and it gives the link like that person wanted to the original tweet. There's a lot. There's a lot to cover. It's more complicated than just an edit button, no question. Although I do use it. You know, I use it on Facebook and Instagram, you know, and it's nice to have there. And I really hadn't thought about, you know, changing it to, you know, something that would be bad.

You know, like if I like a tweet and then that person goes back and changes it, I might not have, I might not have liked it with the change. And so it should kind of revert back to zero, right? just get rid of all the likes and retweets, which is, you know, a big deal. And, you know, we'll see, we'll see what happens. It's, I find it fascinating that one guy, Elon Musk, is just, you know, shaking up that place. And, you know, the, the swamp, the Twitter swamp is definitely thick. So there, you know, there's been reports of employees leaving because Elon is on the board and, you know,

big money holder in Twitter now. All right. You know, bye. Go work for Disney. I don't know. It just seems, it seems weird. There's also big talk on re-instating

Twitter accounts that have been banned, particularly like, I don't know, what's the big one that comes to mind? Oh, I know Donald Trump. You know, reinstating his Twitter account. Is he even going to take it? I mean, if they say

President Trump, former President Trump, we're going to reinstate your Twitter account. Does he even take it? Because he's got his whole, you know, truth social now, which, by the way, is not doing well. I mean, the shares fell 10%

for the seventh straight day of losses. Some executives have resigned. Downloads are down 95% according to the record keepers. And so, what happens? Does he just stop truth social and go back to Twitter? When you reinstate him and reinstate anyone that was kicked off of Twitter,

do they start, do they get reinstated and then, you know, are they back to where they were or are they start at zero again? Do they just say, yep, we're going to reinstate you, but you have to gain your followers again, which I guess would make sense, although I guess they should still have the followers that they had before, but what if those followers left when you got kicked off so you don't have those followers anymore,

you really should probably start at zero. But it'll be fascinating to see what happens over the next, you know, few weeks, months at Twitter. You know, they're really after Musk now, the Securities and Exchange Commission, they're pissed at him. They're saying that, you know, he announced it late and they're coming after me.

They do not like Elon much anyway at the SEC. So, you know, he's starting a battle with them as well. It's going to be really, really fascinating to watch what happens. And, you know, I know that Twitter, Twitter with Parag Aguari at the CEO helm, He had tweeted March 16th. We have a responsibility, particularly during crisis, to proactively enforce our rules, preserve access to Twitter, protect privacy and safety of people on our service, prevent efforts to manipulate public conversation, promote credible information. Elon's got an uphill battle inside the Twitter swamp.

No question. But he definitely kicked the hornet's nest. fun to watch Elon kick the Hornets nest. I see where they added also, speaking of Elon, who is on the list of the, you know, worth a hundred billion dollar men.

There's no women on this page. Man, what is wrong with the world? The weekend, this weekend, we've added a new $100 million. I'm sorry.

100 million. I spit on $100 million. A hundred billion dollar, dollar man. Guatam Adani became the 10th person in the world worth at least $100 billion. So you've got

Guatam Adani. You got Larry Ellison, Steve Balmer, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Bernard Arna,

Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, the $100 billion man. And Elon, I think now really, is over $300. Right? I mean, holy cow.

Elon is getting into the stratosphere all to himself. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere.

Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes, too. And hustled all those. wish list topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals.

You gift for good stuff. All right. So today is, I think, 41 days. For those of you listening live on the 5th of April, 2020, 42, 41 days since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. And now they're talking about pulling back a little bit. and there's some kind of peace talks progressing, but we're not at the point where Vlad and, and what's his face, Zelensky, are going to meet.

So I don't know what's happening with that. And we've given them all kinds of weapons. We won't give them the planes, though. We'll give you all kinds of weapons, billions of dollars of that, but we're not giving you the planes, okay? And we're seizing yachts all over the world. What is happening with these yachts? I mean, we keep, every day I see a new headline,

a 71 million dollar luxury yacht, seized, 90 million dollar yacht, seized, another oligarch yacht, seized. What about Italian authorities have seized Russian steel billionaires, lavish villas worth 116 million? We are just seizing all of these oligarchs from Russia. We're seizing all their property. what happens to that property? Who takes care of it?

Who gets to purchase it when the war, if and when the war ever ends? Do the yacht building companies just start building new yachts for the rich people? Or do they have to say no? Oh, no. We know you've got the money, but you can't spend it here with us. So I just wondered.

I mean, well, who keeps, and the yachts, guess what? Those yachts don't keep up themselves. That creates a lot of jobs. You have to cost a lot of money to upkeep a yacht. I know. My yacht is really, really difficult to upkeep. You know, the largest boat, I think the largest boat I've ever owned was the, I had an eight-foot flat bottom. We used to use for fishing in a river.

That was my yacht, okay? It was not a $90 million luxury yacht. so and the upkeep on that was a pain of the ass I mean I had to lean it up against the house and keep it inside the fence is just tough tough tough and you had to squeeze it into the back of the SUV to take it to the river I mean it's tough it's upkeep

who keeps up with the who's going to pay for all that where does that money come from are we just using the money that we're seizing from these oligarchs I don't know I just I just wonder where they're what's happening with all of this i you know i'm sure time will tell and did any of these oligarchs buy any of bruce willis's property are we going to get that seized i mean it's looking like bruce uh houses of the hoity toady uh has been selling off some properties in the last

few years and the we know now that the reason he was selling at office because uh he needs uh you know a place where he can just kind of hang out and uh you know feel safe because of the declining aphasia. That's what Bruce has, right? Because J. DePinkett Smith has the alopecia. Bruce has the aphasia, right. So anyway, he's been selling off all kinds of property, and we talked a little bit about when they sold some of the places.

I mean, they sold one property for $7.7 million in 2019, which then they slashed their asking price by $5.3 million. Wow, they dropped the price they wanted it. dump that quick. They originally bought a five bedroom, five bathroom, five bathroom property for 12 million. So that was a little bit of a loss there. Then they sold his Central Park West Duplex for 17.8 million. And then he sold his Sun Valley, Idaho Mountain House for 5.5 million. They also sold a huge home in the Turks and Caicos for 27 million. And that was six million less than the asking price.

they also sold a plot of land and the Turks and Kekos that they had for six million. All right. Now, he originally said, yeah, you know, I'm selling these because we're so far away from our California family. So we've decided to return to the West Coast and make our home there. Oh, okay. No problem. So, I mean, you know, people are, who's buying that? Is it the oligarchs?

Are we going to lock them down? so okay I guess I mean we know it's not the oligarchs buying the uh buying the mansions in Los Angeles that Black Lives Matter purchased

that's so nice of them I mean they hate capitalism and whitey so bad but they were okay with using the money that was donated to them both by or really by any color of skin uh and they bought a you know

several places that's all I mean they received $66.5 million cash infusion from a fiscal sponsor. Wow. And after they got that, they went ahead and bought the Los Angeles house for $6 million. That's nice. It's nice that they've got a nice place to live. And they purchased the studio city mansion in cash.

And then they transferred the property's deed to the LLC so that they could just kind of, you know, kind of keep it secret. They weren't trying to cheat anyone. They were just avoiding, exposing BLM assets to any litigation or liability. Uh-huh. And they also bought a mansion in Toronto for $6.3 million. We also, there were reports that she was, uh, what's her face? Colors, Patrice Cullors was giving money to Hubby's Foundation in Canada as well. That's when the Toronto place came into he anyway it's just i don't know what got me thinking about how BLM is spending their their money helping out black lives because you know you got to have a place to live right i mean you can't just you can't just have a regular house to live in when you're in charge of black lives matter oh no you can't have that that's just dumb did you see where dallas got rick rolled on april first

Now, you know, I often thought about how you could hack somebody's phone if you just put up a QR code as a hacking code, right? I mean, because we're pretty much trained now. Oh, is that a QR code? I'll just scan it on my phone. Oh, yeah, no problem. It doesn't matter. I won't ask any questions. I'll just scan it on my phone.

And so 300 drones put together in Dallas were went up to perform. a light show in the sky at Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas. And it was a collaboration between Fort Worth-based Sky Elements and Rockwell

Rockwall based Jared Guns. The kind behind epic Nerf battles and the thought of a Fort Worth company Rick Rowling the city of Dallas is sort of perfect. And they recorded people, you know, in downtown Dallas, putting their phones up to the QR code in the sky from the drones, and then

getting Rick rolled. Oh, you're kidding me? Are you serious right now? Yeah, that's what we're serious right now. They used 300 drones, and they created this QR code as it was really, really cool. Now, that having been said, this may teach us not to just, you know, scan the QR code of our life. Hey, there's a QR code. Let me scan it.

No problem. And so I, you know, I thought it was really funny. And we've all, you know, we all made the joke this year about April Fool's. And, you know, there's no April Fool's joke because look around everything is an April Fool's joke. But it was a great job from Sky Elements and Rockwall to create this, to Rickroll the city of Dallas. And if you don't know what that is, I mean, if you click on a link or get this QR code, then Rick Ashley's never going to give you up plays. That's called Rick Rowling. And if you don't know that by now, what world are you living in?

So anyway, I just thought it was, you know, really funny. And, you know, that goes back to my old, I mean, Dallas and Fort Worth, man. I know it's DFW and everything, but we have, you know, the old Dallas, Fort Worth, Kennedy joke, where Kennedy had breakfast the morning that he was assassinated in Fort Worth and then went to Dallas after that. and, you know, Fort Worth is always like, hey, he was fine when he left here. So, I mean, there's a little bit of tension

between Dallas and Fort Worth, always. So just be careful, the old QR code that you click on. Because you never know. Might be the old Rickroll. Oh, yeah. All right. All right, all right.
