Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. This is what you get. Okay, so a woman in Washington State who fed neighborhood raccoons for decades. You're supposed to know, don't feed the animals. You don't feed the animals.

Why? Because they learn to expect it. And they keep coming back from more. Well, she didn't have a problem. She's been doing it according to her report to the police. I've been feeding them without incident for 35. years. Well, she came out of her house and there were at least a hundred raccoons surrounding her house. I'm sure the leader was out there. We're hungry and we need a little bit of food.

And don't make me, don't make me say attack because we're ready to attack you right now. So the police department is like, we never really have seen anything like that. And they showed up and they've been on her property demanding food this whole time. The neighbors, uh, not a fan. Uh, the neighbors are saying my dogs have been getting attacked. They've been getting in fights with the raccoons. I've had to take them to the vet. We've been seeing raccoons getting hit by cars.

What a shame that is. Uh, more in the neighborhood. And, uh, we don't know what to do. So they said that, uh, they could come and take them away. She was quoted as, uh, saying, yeah, we can get rid of them for you. $500 a pop. What? $500 a pop? I will come personally and get rid of your raccoons for, I don't know, $50 a pop.

I'll save you some money, 50 bucks a pop. And in fact, I'll even save you more money because it'll be less than the pops that these people would do because I'll just show up in the front yard and see how many leave after that. And then you just start going, Here the raccoon, raccoon, here the raccoony. Yeah, you start putting them down. No problem. That's what she needs to do.

Save herself any money, although I'm willing to take her money. And just get rid of them. Maybe if you don't want to alarm the neighbors, it's Washington State. I'm not sure the gun law is there. So, you know, get yourself a slingshot. And you just start, it's a silent death. Get yourself bow and arrow. And just start bow and arrow on those bad boys.

So you don't have let the neighbors know. Oh, it used to be, I was like 50 out here. Now there's only three or four. Yeah, I know. They've just been going on. It's just been going on. It's just been going on. Is that a hole outback?

Nope. Don't know what you're talking about. And I'm going to plant some flowers that are endangered species flowers over my grave of raccoons. So you can't dig there. You have to leave them alone. Okay. But that's what you get. Don't feed the animals.

That's the whole problem. You can't do that because now they expect it. Raccoons, man. Raccoons are mean. We've talked about that before. And they take care of raccoon business, man. You get a couple of raccoons. The next thing you know, they've got eight of them, traips in behind them.

And then pretty soon those eight have gotten more eight behind them. I mean, you're going to need to buy some ammunition to get rid of these bad boys. And if the big ones, the big ones will turn on you, they will get up on their hind legs and look at you like, don't make me put this cigarette out. I will attack you. In fact, just a second. All right, I'm coming at you. I mean, they have rabies.

They're nasty. They're nasty. I know they're cute looking, but no. And you just kind of show up in the yard. And whoever sticks around. Yeah, sorry, we had to put you down. That's the way it goes. $500 bucks a pop?

No, thank you. there are better ways. There are much better ways to get rid of those raccoons that have someone pay $500 a pop. I mean, yeah, hello. That's a good deal.

That's good business. Good for that person for charging the money to get rid of the raccoons. Yeah, I can come in here and get rid of these bad boys for you. You know, it's good about 500 bucks a pop. They're hard to catch.

They're hard to catch. So what are you going to do? And then what do you do? with them. I mean, does the, is you going to put, does the zoo take raccoons? Probably not. And if they do, they're only going to take a couple, right? Because pretty soon, what do you have a zoo of? You have a zoo of raccoons because there are nothing. You're going to need to make sure that you, uh, slow down the raccoon business. Yeah. Because once you get raccoon business, man, you got nothing but raccoons, man. You got raccoons rode up all over. That's what this lady's

finding out. Man, you got a, you can't, don't feed the animals. Really, don't feed the animals. I support the animals, you know, humans first, of course. I support taking care of the animals, but no, not the wild ones. Just tell them to move along. Welcome.

Yeah, exactly. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. As long as we're talking about animals and not feeding the animals, we may as well go to the end of Fat Bear Week. It's a sad day. Fat Bear Week is now over.

I know. Dry your eyes. So the Cat Mye National Park and Preserve in Alaska. I mean, they began Fat Bear Week this year by telling people, stop feeding the bears. There was those fishermen out there feeding the bears salmon. And they had to, they stopped all the fishing going on and said, stop. Don't feed the animals.

The animals need to hunt for themselves, which they do. And then, of course, we had the big bear fight that had to slow down fat bear week for a day too because they were fighting and one died. Very sad. And that bear got axed from the brides. bracket very sad bear i want to say 169 but i can't remember the bears the bear's name anyway uh so they we had the two finalists uh 32 chunk and 128 grazer were the two finalists for fat bear week and then uh they made it through all the brackets and the voting public made their

choice the winner is 128 grazer congratulations 128 grazer i uh yeah congratulations 128 Grazer. I, yeah, congratulations. I would have, I would have actually voted for a 32 chunk. But, you know, the voting public, which I, I know, I didn't vote for the finalist.

I know, sorry, don't look at me like that. I just didn't. So, congratulations to 128 Grazer. I mean, Grazer won last year. So congratulations to 128 Grazer for

back-to-back victories and Fat Bear week. Some of them have won, I mean, 747, won multiple years. I feel like

480 Otis won quite a bit. 480 Otis was a dominating figure in Black Bear, in Fat Bear Week. And so congratulations to 128 Grazer for back-to-back repeating the championship.

Now, will 128 Grazer three-peat? Well, we'll have to wait. and see until Fat Bear Week 2025. I know. I know. Good luck and congratulations to 128 Gracer. All right. We will be

checking in with a chewing the fat listener and he's been on the show before who lives in Tampa and we'll be staying at his home. At least he told me yesterday he was staying at his home in Tampa. So I want to, we're going to reach out and get a live report from Hurricane Milton on the ground.

Boots on the ground in Tampa, Florida. But the storm Milton has well it was a category five now it's a very high category four and they had said that it was going to weaken before it made landfall it's now drifting a little bit south so it doesn't look like Tampa Bay is in a direct hit cross high in Florida so it looks like it's going to probably hit well obviously south of Tampa Bay Sarasota Bradenton maybe even more as it drifts farther south and they claim that it will a low low four, possibly three for landfall.

And they've already updated some of the evacuation zones in central Florida. So if you haven't looked at your updated evacuation area in central Florida, you know, since yesterday, check again. You need to, you know, think twice, maybe three times if you were thinking about riding it out. And I'm happy that our listener, Chuck, is riding it out because we're going to be talking to him. and I want to do I want debris to smash him into his house and have him hurt in any way? No, no, I do not.

No, don't look at me like that. I don't, no. But, you know, if it happens, if it happens, I want it to, you know, happen when he's talking to us. Anyway, so I mean, Florida is, if you're in Florida now, hunker down, man. And if you're in a place where

you're thinking about riding it out, but you're not sure. There are shelters open. All the municipalities have shelters open. Go there. Just be safe. Don't think you're going to ride it out because not only do you have the,

you know, the hurricane force winds to deal with for hours. It's not like a passing storm that flies by and batters your home for an hour and is gone. This is going to, they're already feeling the effects and you get the outer bands of the hurricane. and then you're going to, it just continues. And then it's going to clear up and it's going to be, oh, wow, it's awful nice out. And then it's going to wrap around and whack you again from the other direction.

But this one's moving pretty fast. It's still moving at the latest advisory had it speed up a little. Yeah, it's moving 16 miles an hour. What was at 14? So it's moving pretty fast. So some of that wraparound outer band strands, you're going to be a little bit safer. once it passes over Florida. But it's still damaging winds when it wraps back around.

But the, man, the southern west coast of Florida, whew, man, that's already, they're still reeling from the hurricane a couple years ago and they're just getting battered by Milton again. And Tampa Bay has been, you know, they were still busy picking up from Helene. And they had all the debris out at the roadside to get picked up from Helene.

And now Milton's going to come. So all of that debris is going to become fresh debris in this storm, which is why Governor DeSantis had said the other day that he had authorized 24-7 pickup. He just told him get as much picked up as you can, which is good. But there's still, I mean, there was too much to be done before the hurricane hits. So it's very dangerous. And please stay safe.

So this obviously never happens to me, but, and it's been a while since I've actually flown.

Somewhere about my daughter has been flying back and forth to the Carolinas for well you don't need to know why. It's none of your damn business why she's flying back and forth, okay? However, I don't know if she was out on this flight.

No, she was flying American. And this flight was Spirit. And you'll know you Spirit Airlines. You know him, you love them. I've only flown Spirit at once in that flight was awesome actually. The seats were small.

I flew from Detroit to Dallas. And I watched a movie on my phone the entire way. I remember watching Hangover because I was watching it on my phone. And my son and I were coming back from Detroit. And we were sharing the headset, the headphone set on my phone to watch Hangover. It was hilarious. We were laughing our ass off on this flight. But the reason.

it was so great as we got in Dallas and the guy who went to land it was so windy and storming and he was pulled up from the landing and he goes we're going to go ahead and go ahead and take this around and land this on the other side of the airport and we were like thank you

and then around we went and landed perfectly without having you know the wind shear and the storm affecting the landing and we were like yeah yeah thank you appreciate it. It was awesome and yeah we're going to go ahead and turn this thing around.

There's a little windy. He might have felt us jerk back up there a little bit. We're going to go ahead and go around the end, hit the other side of the airport. Thank you. Yes. I appreciate it. I appreciate you doing that instead of saying,

we're going to, uh, we felt a little wind, but we're still going to plow through. We're going to try to land this thing. No, I don't want that. Anyway, so, uh, the Spirit airline flight, uh, had, uh, the movie Dadio with Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. And then it's an explicit. film with, you know, graphic nudity and racy texting.

And apparently it was on every screen. There was no way to shut it off, some sort of, some sort of issue with the electronics on the plane. And some of the parents were with their kids and they were a little upset. How come we can't shut it off? How come every movie screen in this plane is showing this sexually explicit film? And they finally got it taken care of. And, you know, they apologized.

We're sorry. The movie was clearly was not suitable to play for the whole flight. Yeah, no kidding. That's Sean Pine movie? Yeah, no kidding. What are we doing even? I mean, Dakota Johnson, maybe. But with Sean Penn?

No, thank you. Sean, you've been gone for a long time. I know you're out there fighting and everything. But calm down, all right, calm down. Just give me my peanuts. I don't want to watch Sean Penn. Okay. Then we had the flight on this American Airlines.

No, this was spirit as well. Wait a second. Okay. So the movie was on Qantas, not spirit. So I apologize if any, you know, any bad, bad, you know, bad feelings for spirit. I gave you love. I told you your pilot was great that I flew with, okay? And the seats were a little small.

But that was it, you know. But there was a Spirit Airline issue, just not the movie. Even Spirit Airline knows, no, we're not playing Sean Penn movies. okay that was quantis and they apologize and you know of course they as well they should now the spirit airline story uh there was uh there's a couple this terra

Cahidi and Teresa Arrajo Cahidi is K-E-H-I-D-I and Teresa's last name is A-R-A-U-J-O they've got to fix that they got to fix their last names I don't know who's name in their

what kind of last name anyway they boarded a flight uh from New Orleans or from Los Angeles to New Orleans. And they were wearing crop tops. And the flight attendant, which wasn't a, I mean, it's still a waitress or a waiter, but it wasn't a flight attendant.

I got it. No matter what, he was still just a server. Okay. And they got a little bit too much power during COVID and they haven't let it go. So he was saying that they had to cover up and there was the crop tops were

not dress code and they kicked them off the plane. Stop it. The one video I saw showed the woman filming the selfie and you know just a shot of her breasts in this crop top but I'm thinking you know I would venture to say that you could

and this is just me judging okay doesn't have anything to do with anything I'm just saying that the flight attendant the server who was upset about the crop tops was a male. I don't know that the male was, I'm pretty sure kicking these women off with the crop top meant to me, to me, and just to me, that the server was probably not hetero.

And so he was upset that these women were showing off their breasts and their crop top on the plane, and he kicked him off. so have fun flying have fun flying i mean american airlines now is in this big lawsuit for uh skip lagging okay now they they believe they're there this company who has uh they tell people how to get tickets and they call it skip lagging so i get a a full flight let's say i go from L.A. like this couple.

I go from L.A. to the flight takes me from L.A. to Los Angeles to St. Louis to New York. That's just the only way we get there for you, okay? But I really, I don't want to go to New York. I want to stop in Detroit. So I take the flight from, and it's cheaper to take that flight than it is the direct flight from L.A. to Detroit, okay?

So I take the cheap flight, and I go from L.A. to New Orleans to Detroit. I get off The flight continues on to New York, but I get off and I pay a cheaper fare for that flight because if I would have had to pay more if I would have had to pay more

if I would have direct flight from L.A. to Detroit. The airlines don't like that and they call it skip lagging. Tough! Don't do it then! That pisses me off. I mean, people are finding ways around to make it worse.

and I just don't like it. According to the skip lagging hack of American Airlines, that's freeloading off the airline's good name. It's allowing passengers to book cheaper tickets to connecting city and then abandoning the subsequent flight on the ticket. So, you got your money. You got your money for the flight. What is your problem?

And it's better for the environment because you're using less gas because there's less weight out of the plane that's going to New York. So it's better for the environment you claim you're so care about. I can't. So apparently, this skip lag

it's a classic bait and switch promotion of the hack, breaks the airline's policies, and fringes on Americans trademarks, risked customers having their airfare avoided, and constitutes tortillas. What? And constitutes, you know,

legal interference. No. No, I don't know how that, how that, how you get there from that. What you get is that they're pissed, that they're not making, the people that wanted to go to that city aren't paying a different price, a full price, a higher price to get to that city. They're using your plans to get to that city, only they just get off the plane early. That, uh, it really bugs me. That's, that's a problem. Don't offer it then, American. And I'm sure that they're going to say, well, we have rules. We have rules that you can't get off the plane.

When you book the flight, that's the flight, and that's the way it is. Oh, is that company policy? I cannot tell you how angry it makes me when I talk to someone at any store, whatever it is. And I want to talk to them about an issue that I have, and I hear, it's company policy.

It's company policy. And I'm like, oh, well, then I guess that makes it okay then doesn't it it makes it okay i don't have to worry about it because it's your company policy and every time i do that that i get the look of um yes sir that's yes sir that's that's that's that's it's it's company policy that's that's what it is uh i'm just an employee here behind the counter you can talk to my manager okay let's talk to your manager because i believe that the manager will at least entertain the idea. I know it's company policy,

but I'm going to take care of you this time because that's what they do. All right, let's go to the break room. I don't want to get angry over something. I don't even remember what I was angry about. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, so ever so often we get a story

from some art gallery. And I feel like once again, we've been had. It's just a story so that it creates news and buzz about the art gallery and the artwork that's being shown at the art museum. Because

there's no way that this actually happened. Okay, I'm sorry, no, I don't believe it. So a lift technician this is what they're telling us, this is what they want me to believe is true. A lift technician at this museum in the Netherlands

accidentally, throughout an art display, painstakingly created to resemble two empty beer cans. The piece by French artist Alexandre Lave. Titled All the Good Times We Spent Together, Looks Deceptively Simple to the Naked Eye, and could easily be mistaken for trash. Could it? Could it? Well, yes, Jeff, that's what they're saying.

Oh, okay. So the work is actually meticulously hand-crack. with acrylics, with each detail painstakingly replicated. The empty cans are meant to symbolize the happy time spent among friends, as the title suggests. While evenings spent enjoying drinks may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, they ultimately embody precious moments of connection. Okay, we got it. We got it. Okay. So now the art is displayed differently, but it was displayed in a glass.

lift shaft, giving the appearance that it could have been left behind by construction workers earlier in the day. Shut up. I'm sorry. No. I don't believe you. So the museum itself is known for featuring these unusual artworks. So you've got some guy that thinks, I, oh, it's trash.

I'm just going to throw it away. No. That did not happen. I'm sorry. No. Our art encourages visitors. to see everyday objects in a new light, said museum director Sitsky Van Zaten.

Okay, all right. So, I mean, you got the press for your museum, your Lamb Museum in the Netherlands. You're getting the promotion all free from people all over the world, including websites and, I don't know, podcast, to promote your works. But, no, I don't believe this. happened. You're welcome. I'll give you the promotion. The Lamb Museum in the Netherlands. Beautiful. Love them. Man, I've never been there, but I love them. And I know

that now they love to display their artworks in unexpected places. And they want to, they do. Not only do they want to, they do amplify the experience and keep visitors on their toes. And the museum, of course, does not blame the technician. If anything, they've come to view his gaff as a testament to the effectiveness of Alexandria Levas art. And the cans, fortunately, they were retrieved from the trash. And after cleaned, they were placed

back on display. This time, they're going to be put near an entrance of the museum to ensure that they won't be discarded again. That did not happen. I'm sorry, that just did not happen. But, hey, go to the Lamb Museum if you're in the Netherlands and

enjoy the artwork. I'm sure it's cool. I'm sure it's fine. I got no problem. and with your with your with your with your museum and uh you know wanting people to realize uh sometimes uh things symbolize things that are we just take for granted and that's the artwork that we try to provide for you i get it but and it's a good promotion your promotion people are on top of it we've got to get people here we don't have people talking about our museum it's tough times and uh we need people to know about our museum, how do we do that? Tell them that somebody threw one

of the pieces of art away. And then we found it, but they threw it away, and then they'll promote the museum. And that's what happened. That's what they did. And it worked. Be sure to follow me. You have a little promotion. I need to do, you know what? I threw away

a piece of artwork today, and hopefully somebody will do a story on it and promote my social media sites. At Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram.

Come on. So here in DFW between, you know, Sunday in October and November, they do a lights out campaign for the birds. And it's so important that, I mean,

billions of birds are migrating. across the country. And here in DFW, a particular reunion tower, the story is about what it happens in Fort Worth, too. Fort Worth does a reunion tower's in Dallas proper. They all feel like they have to do their part to save the migrating burns.

So between October 14th and November 17th, and those of you listening live, today is the 9th of October, 2024. So just in a few days. We should maybe mark it on a calendar, so we remember. They're going to adjust the lights to the buildings so that the stupid birds don't fly into them. So we're concerned.

We're concerned about the stupid birds flying into them. Here's my thing. They claim here two billion birds travel through Texas while migrating each fall in spring. How much of a shame would it be that it reaches 1.5,000, five billion birds and half a billion birds create jobs and let people clean up the dead birds on the ground from hitting into

the hitting into the building. That's all. No, I don't want to shoot them. No, no, no, no, no. Don't be, don't be mean. That's just cruel. No. No, no, no, no. Just, I mean, I guess maybe it harms the building. Maybe it's good for the building. Are they cracking those windows on these on these tall buildings. I feel like the construction on those are better than that.

But okay, all right, if you say so, you don't, you know, the companies don't want to pay for bird cleanup down on the sidewalks every morning. I get it. But, uh, it's just, I don't know why it drives me crazy. It just does. It just does. Uh, you know, we're supposed to, humans first.

Humans first. And if, you know, do I want all the birds to die? No, I do not. Do I care if a few of them slam into the building? Again, the answer is no. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Luis Tiant. Luis Tiant. to dead at the age of 83. Now you're asking yourself, who's Luis Tiant? Who's Luis Tiant?

He's a former Major League baseball pitcher. He used to pitch for the Red Sox. He was awesome. I remember watching, with my grandfather, of course, watching Louis Tiant play baseball. He was on the mound. He was,

the way he pitched, he would face the plate, and then the way he turned away from the plate and then swung around to pitch was awesome. That was his own special way. Anyway, he's being paid respects. We never made it to the Hall of Fame. He has been, he was inducted into the, is it the Hispanic Hall of Fame?

They don't call it that, though. They don't call it the Hispanic Hall of Fame. They call it the, he's in the Red Sox Hall of Fame. What do they call? Oh, it's the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Hall of Fame. Okay. Yeah, I'm sorry. the H-H-B-H-B-H-F.

But he is not at Cooperstown. No. Now it says here that Luis always thought he was, he should be at the Cooperstown. Of course he did. He's a major league pitcher. He won some World Series games. I mean, he's the guy, right?

Of course he fell. He's a great pitcher. You're a great athlete. You think you deserve to be with the other great athletes. No question. And maybe he does. I don't know.

Anyway, right. rest in peace to Luis Tion. Would it be wrong for him to be at Cooperstown? Probably not. I mean, is he 100% deserving? But if he was there, would you be mad if you were walking through Cooperstown? You go, Luis Tion, that guy's a bum.

He didn't deserve to be here? No, you're not doing that. So, Luis Tion, rest in peace, dead at the age of 83. Then I see a story as long as we're in the, you know, kind of the dead section of, chewing the fat. Where Lisa Marie Presley, lover,

you know, she passed away, but I guess she has a memoir out. I have not read the entire memoir. It's called from here to the great unknown by Lisa Marie Presley. And in that posthumous memoir,

she revealed that she grieved the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough. Remember he committed suicide back in 2020 at the age of 27. He looked a lot like Elvis, you know, pictures of young. the grandson.

Anyway, she said in her book that she kept his body on dry ice for two months in a separate casistice bedroom in their home in Los Angeles because there's no law in the state of California

that you have to bury someone immediately. And she just wanted to have ample time to say goodbye to him the same way that she'd done with her dad Elvis. She kept Elvis on dry ice at the bedroom, I think not. I don't think that happened.

But, uh, so, a little weird. A little weird. But you know, you do you, Lisa, you do you.

I mean, is everything okay, Lisa? Oh, yeah, everything's fine. Everything's fine. What do you got back here? Nothing.

Nothing. That's my dead son. Been dead for a month and a half. I'm keeping him on dry ice in there. Think of the bill. and it keeps the old dry ice going. Maybe you had to ride in some extra air conditioners for the back room. Wow.

I've always been using a little extra power. What are you growing back there? Nothing. I'm not growing anything back there. In fact, well, everything back there is dying or dead. Oh, no. See, that's not even funny. Oh, and who died today?

I really I mean it was born April 4th 1957 closed the doors to the public on April 2nd

of this year but it is now gone history a ghost goodbye tropical the tropicalana in Las Vegas

was well it was made officially no more they had fireworks they had drone lights going on

off. It was awesome. It was a great show as only Vegas could do of the implosion of the Tropicana. What a party. Here we go. And here it knows. There we go. I mean, it was a great show. Fireworks and Drones all around and the whole building coming down.

Everybody likes to stand around and watch the implosion of buildings, no doubt about it. It was awesome. 2,000 pounds of explosives and 4 miles of detonating cord were used to carry out the demolition. which occurred, you know, like 30 seconds. But they had the fireworks display and the drone show, which was really cool. So, I mean, they definitely made a show of it. And it's coming down so that, you know, the Oakland A's that are going to be moving to Las Vegas in two years after they play a couple years in Sacramento

are going to be coming to Vegas for their new stadium. And where is that new stadium going to be? Right there. When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister.

This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners. Fabulous for less.

Okay, so as I said, Hurricane Milton, earlier in the show, we talked a little bit about Hurricane Milton and where, you know, it's a category four, now a high category four. It was into category five for a while. Now it has weakened a little into category four. They are saying that it's going to decrease to a category three or low four before it makes landfall. Sometime later today, if you're listening, live today is oh Wednesday the 9th or early Thursday morning the 10th of October

depending on if it slows down or speeds up it looks like it's speeding up right now it was speed up a couple miles an hour to 16 miles an hour so we'll see what happens is a very dangerous storm it looks like the eye the middle of the cone of death which we're not supposed to look at the middle of the cone of uncertainty we're not supposed to look at and that is the only thing that anybody looks at but we're not supposed to look at it it's the entire cone of death. So when you when you

look at it, that center of the cone of uncertainty is south of Tampa Bay now. But they are feeling the effects of Hurricane Milton. All right. So I wanted to talk to my man, Chuck

Paul, who is in Tampa, lives in Tampa. And I want to have boots on the ground. He said he wasn't going to evacuate. He was going to have live reports for chewing the fat. And I want to get, let's get Chuck on the phone right now. Oh my gosh. If he doesn't, I'm going to be pissed.

Storm or no storm. Hi, this is Chuck from Palm Creative Studios. Please leave your name, your phone number, and a brief message. And I'll call you back just as soon as Paul. Will you? You can also text me at the same number or email Chuck at chuck at chuck palm.com. Thanks Answer the phone

Hey Chuck How you doing I'm just calling to check in on you see how you doing Want you to be safe You know you and the family Everybody's fine I hope you're doing fine Answer the phone

You're supposed to be our boots on the ground I want to know what it's like in Tampa You said you were staying at your house Now I guess not I guess you're not I guess you've decided. Oh, I guess I need to evacuate. You could have told me that yesterday.

Did you? No. Oh, no, Jeff. I'll be home. Just call me. Anytime. No problem. Don't worry about it.

Very frustrating. So since that, I guess, was our live report to Hurricane Milton from our man on the street, boots on the ground. Why as well get out of here? Leave you with a joke of the day from Braden, who emailed me this joke, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Hey, use this for the joke of the day. Jeff. Okay, I will.

Braden. A woman asked an Army General, when was the last time he had made love to a woman? The general replied, 1956, ma'am. The woman in disbeliefs at 1956 that long, come with me and let me make your night better. Oh, yeah. The woman in general went back to her apartment and made passionate love for over an hour. Afterwards, the woman cuddled up to the general and said, said, well, you sure haven't forgotten anything since 1956,

and the general looked at her, confused? Replied, I sure hope not, it's only 2130 now. See, because he was on military, oh, you understand. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, oh, well, well, well, we're chuckling from the joke of the day, and look who got my message.

Chuck Palm, boots on the ground from Tampa, Florida. So did you evacuate and got my message, or are you actually staying in your home? Are you feeling the weather? What's happening? So, Jeffrey, we are feeling the weather. You might have seen it on the news. There is a big storm in the Gulf barreling down,

and I was actually checking my cameras and making sure all of our patio furniture is put away. No, I believe you. So the family's fine. You're not evacuating and you're feeling the of the outer bands of Hurricane Milton as we speak. That is correct. Okay.

Well, thanks for being there when we called. Thanks for being there when we called. And we'll check back in with you tomorrow to make sure all is safe. Roger that. Good day. Thank you.
