Man, what a bummer it is to be part of the Highland Park Country Club, you know, a North Shore suburb of Chicago. I know, I know, I'm bummed for you. Apparently, they had a partnership with the nonprofit alliance for human services,

and the organizers had planned to place participants into situations where they would have to make tough choices, about not having enough resources. Participants in this immersive experience will begin to experience what a month in poverty feels like. Participants are put into situations in which they don't have enough resources and are forced to make difficult choices that can negatively impact them and their families.

The outcome is hoped to have, bring an increased awareness of the need for resources to support those living in poverty to create a more resilient health, human, and education sector. And participation was to be free. They wanted you to register, but the participation was free. And they were all ready to, you know, make it happen. And the city manager said, hey, programs like this one are developed and presented by social service professionals and are intended to bridge the gap.

And because that's what you want. You want the hoity toads to be able to realize. what it's like, you know, to have a month of poverty, don't you? Yeah. Well, apparently, they canceled the event. I know. I'm bummed for them as well because I really would like to have all the, you know, members of the Highland Park Country Club to know what it's like to spend a month in poverty.

Wouldn't you? Oh, just, we live in amazing times. We most definitely live in amazing times. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. What did I do with that jet? I just, I don't know what I did with that jet. So if you have an idea of what happened to the F-35 stealth fighter jet that disappeared over North Charleston, South Carolina,

this weekend. Could you call 843-9663-3-3-360 and let them know? Because there's no concrete evidence of a crash. That thing could still be flying around for all we know. It could be on autopilot. The pilot ejected and the jet could just be up there flying around. That is amazing. So now we've got an $80 million jet Just flying around the globe Because Why? I'm not, we don't even know why the pilot ejected We don't know what was wrong with the F-35

You know, the mishap But the base defense operations center And South Carolina were like, yeah, hey, we're looking to locate it So, you know, if you got, have any ideas or, you know, you've seen it. How about you call us and let us know? That'd be nice. Wow.

I mean, again, we live in amazing times. $80 million for an F-35 stealth fighter, and we don't know where it's at. We just know that the pilot ejected, and we don't know anything after that. Could you give us a hand, please, and let us know. There isn't an air tag. there isn't a low jack

there isn't any kind of tracking device a satellite tracking device on this F-35 wow okay all right fine no problem if the autopilot

was on did it just fly out over the ocean and crash maybe but you'd think that our satellites and our tracking devices would know that wouldn't you I mean is there another Bermuda Triangle was it flying

in that direction. The pilot ejected. We have not, I've not read anything interviewed about the pilot, like was it hacked? Did the pilot, is it possible that it was hacked?

And the pilot said, hey, there's a problem. I've got to eject. Put it on autopilot, and then off it went. I don't know. It's just a weird, weird story. So if you have any idea

where the F-35 fighter jet is, call 843-966-0-0- which is Joint Base Charleston, and let them know that you have seen and know where the F-35 is. Now, don't call if you don't have any information. That would just be wrong. I mean, it's not the first time that planes have just disappeared. Not too long ago,

we had another plane flying over the actual Bermuda Triangle after leaving a Florida airport. It's just missing. Yeah, we don't know where it is. No, yeah, it's just missing. Don't worry about it. Never mind. And then there's a Bermuda Triangle.

triangle on land in Nevada that they claim more than 2,000 planes have crashed there. So there's that. And then in 2003, a Boeing 727 just disappeared. Yeah, it's just gone. It took off out of Angola and then just disappeared. And no trace of the aircraft has since been found. So I get it. know, I guess, you know what?

Planes do disappear, except that those planes that we're talking about, and I don't know what the exact planes were over the Nevada Desert Bermuda Triangle, but those other planes were not $80 million military jets. So just a tad bit of difference in the price. I get it, we don't want to lose any airplanes, but, you know, I would say that $80 million F-35 fighter jet,

moves to the top of the list of airplanes you don't want to lose. Another thing that was weird in this story is that, okay, so the fighter jet and his wingman, another jet was flying. And the F-35 fighter jet, a pilot, ejected, and put the plane on autopilot. Now, he was found and transported to a hospital, and the wingman, the other plane, landed. So, I mean, he didn't just follow the plane on autopilot? Like, I'll tell you what, my buddy just ejected. I'm going to go ahead and follow the plane that's on autopilot to see what happens.

Nah, I was going to turn this thing around. I'm going to go land. I don't know what happened to the plane. It started heading off into the horizon, and I was like, ah, just let it go. I got to go back to the base. Oh, man, we live. I told you, we live in amazing times. Okay.

for those of you that follow me on social media X at Jeffrey JFR, Instagram, and Facebook is Jeff Fisher Radio. I posted last night a question hypothesized from another social media account that said at the airport, you grab the wrong luggage,

what do you do? And the photograph is a suitcase full of cash. Now, let's go to class, sit down, put your pencils down. I told you this is an easy answer, what you do. Okay. First, you check for any kind of location devices.

In fact, I would say wherever you go, don't go to when you realize that you have the wrong luggage, immediately take the cash out of the suitcase that it's in, check for any kind of tracking devices in the money, and then, you know, find a new place to stash the cash. However, you can do that, and then it would still, that leads to big problems down the road, because people know that who took the luggage from footage at the TSA.

We just caught a guy, you know, a TSA worker, a deep pocketing people's wallets while it's going through the conveyor belt. So there's plenty of cameras. You don't want that to happen. So here's what you do. Get back to the hotel and you realize, oh my gosh, I've got the wrong luggage. Here is a suitcase full of cash. So what to do?

Well, the Jeff Fisher plan, the chewing the fat plan. this is what you do you take half of the money and put it in a separate bag that's yours you close up the luggage and you take the luggage back to the airport and you say hey i found this i took the wrong luggage by mistake you can check the footage here it is i took the wrong luggage and it had cash in it and i don't know where it came from it's not mine take it off my hands. Okay, I'm turning it back in. So now you've covered your bases.

You've returned the luggage on film at the airport. You have shown, make them find the footage of you taking the wrong suitcase, the wrong piece of luggage, wherever it was taken from, and you've returned it with cash in it. Now you're good. So whatever amount you have deep pocketed, it's all yours. Okay. So I don't know how many times I have to. to tell you to do this, but that's just the way it's done.

Okay? You don't have to worry about anything after that because you've returned it. You're on camera returning it. You're on camera taking it by accident. You're saying, you're bringing it back saying, hey, I'm sorry, there's cash in this. It's not my bag. I want to turn it back in so because whose ever bag it is needs their money. I care about them for sure.

Now, then you're good. do whatever paperwork you have to do and you can walk away and just know that you know you've got a you've got a bag full of cash back at the house and make sure you don't buy anything extravagant use it to you know buy groceries use it to put gas in your car use it to buy the new pair of shoes pay all your bills through your bank account like you always have and always do but you use the cash to buy little things so that you're not overdoing it and showing how extravagance you've become

with the pile of cash that you, you know, took from the luggage there. Okay, we good? All right now. Let's... You can put your pencils down now. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

Oh, I. Apparently the jet has been found. It's been found by a show called Pat Gray-onleashed. Pat Gray-onleashed just tweeted or exed. Remember to use the promo code Pat to get free shipping. Hashtag missing F-35. Hashtag F-35. So he's put it up on eBay right now in F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet for $80 million,

plus $5.50. shipping. Delivery would be before the end of the week and the condition is used. It doesn't say as is. On the eBay slip, it doesn't say as is. It does say used. So, I mean, as is. I mean, you're missing the, you're missing the front seat. You're missing the top of the plane. Because the pilot ejected, right? So you don't have a seat. You don't have a seat. You don't have a. cover, man, and they still want 80 million for this. I would offer them something cheaper than that on the

Petra-A-Leased eBay page, but you know, whatever, it seems a little overpriced. But maybe it's just me. Wait, you don't think that's real? Oh, okay. Well, one thing that is real is National Cheeseburger Day. And that is

today. For those of you listening live, today is Monday, September 18th, 2023. And it is National Cheeseburger Day. So go have a cheeseburger and celebrate, okay? I know that some fast food places

are offering deals on their cheeseburgers, but you got to enjoy it. You can't just walk into the store anymore and say, hey, give me a deal on a cheeseburger because it's National Cheeseburger Day. Oh, what? Yeah. Wendy's is offering a one-cent cheeseburger, but you have to get it through their app.

Okay. McDonald's, Wendy's Burger King and other fast food chains are offering deals for National Cheeseburger Day. Wendy's announced that it's selling, oh, that's the one cent, but they're doing that for four days. So they're going to be selling the famous junior bacon cheese burgers for one cent today through the 22nd, but you must order the item through the Wendy's app to get the deal. McDonald's just today is discounting the double cheeseburger sandwich to 50 cents through the mobile app for a limited one burger per customer, kind of chintzy. And Burger King will give a free cheeseburger to any member of its Royal Perks Rewards Program who makes a purchase of a dollar or more.

So you get a free cheeseburger if you're part of the Royal Perks program, but you've got to purchase. something for a dollar or more. All right. And fans of Burger Fi, a chain based in Florida, and I must say, I don't believe I've ever eaten at Burger Fi.

You can treat yourselves to the signature double cheeseburger at Burger Phi for just $3 with a purchase of the brand's freestyle beverage. So it's not,

they're celebrating National Cheeseburger Day at Burger five, which I'm sure their cheeseburgers are great, and it's only going to cost you three bucks plus a drink, their freestyle beverage. That doesn't seem like such a great deal. But hey, when you walk into a restaurant today, say, hey, it's National Cheeseburger Day. What do you got for me? Or be sure to check out all the apps to your favorite restaurants and see what their kind of deal they're giving for you on the National Cheeseburger Day. Okay, so remember when I told you I was having

problems with the way HBO, I'm sorry, Max paused as I was watching shows on Max so you'd pause it and you'd go do something or you'd talk about something that happened in the show and then you push play again and it doesn't start right back up where it's at

it takes you back to the beginning of the stupid show or at least for sure it takes you back to where the last time you paused it I think but most of the time it takes you back to the beginning of the show it's been a while since I've watched something on Max now where it's done that, where I've paused it like that.

But I got an email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can email the show anytime, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com from Mark. And he said that he and his wife were watching House of the Dragon. And he paused it the other night to talk about something that just happened. That's what people do. And it said, then he went to push play and bam, right back to the beginning. Agonizing. Thank you.

It is agonizing. Mark. Now, I know it's first world problems, but it's still agonizing. Now, I, according to Mark, he's only noticed the issue while watching it through Roku. And I will say, I was watching it through Roku as well. This TV was, I think all my TVs are now through Roku. No, this one up here, now the one I'm looking, anyway, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Most of the TVs I'm watching through Roku. And so that could be a Roku issue. how it deals with pause on max. But I don't have that issue

with other apps through Roku although sometimes I will say I do have an issue on Prime through Roku. So maybe it is. Maybe it is an issue with Roku on these apps. But whatever the issue is, fix

it! We're sitting at our living rooms, pausing to talk about a show you're airing and then we have to go all the way back to the beginning and then spend another 30 or 40 seconds fast forwarding to the place that we were. And it's just completely unacceptable. Unacceptable.

That we have to live our lives in such a way. Maybe that's one of the things that they were going to do in Highland Park at the Highland Park Country Club to make, have with their poverty simulation. Okay, so today's poverty simulation, it is you're watching a show through your Roku on your TV on one of the apps

that you're paying for out of your money and you pause it and when you push play again it goes all the way back to the beginning of the show instead of resuming where you had paused it. Man, if that's not poverty simulation, I don't know what is.

Now we all know that things are getting tough everywhere. I was looking at the list of the most expensive cities to live in in 2023. And so this indexed by Julius Baer, a Swiss money manager, evaluates the cost of 20 items associated with the high-end cosmopolitan lifestyle, premium residential property, luxury cars, business class flights, and extravagant dinners.

And they're also talking about, you know, wine and whiskey, hospitality, services as demand for travel entertainment surges post pandemic, the cost of goods and services like hotel suites and flights and fine dining have risen. Have they? So, you know, so is

everything else, Julius. Welcome to the party. Okay. So this is largely thanks to higher energy, raw materials and staffing costs, compounded by inflation, supply chain disruptions and currency fluctuations. Yeah. It's tough times for

everyone there, Julius. So the most expensive city is Singapore. Then we get to Shanghai, Hong Kong, London. New York is fifth. Wow, New York jumped from 11th to fifth most expensive city. Miami saw the largest increase in living costs over the past year, climbing from 18th to 10th. And Dubai rose from 14th to 7th. And Jakarta went from 19th. Oh, no, Jakarta is starting to struggle a little bit. I know. Jakarta's all the way down there now. You got Manila, Barcelona, Mumbai, Sydney, Milan, Tokyo, Zurich, Paris, Jakarta, Bangkok, Bangkok,

South Paulo, Taipei, Dubai, Monaco, New York, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. So those are the most expensive cities globally. to live in. So I know, good luck, because it's not tough anywhere else around the world just there. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug,

But she is quitting country music. Because according to Ms. Morris, it's burning itself down. Thanks in part to Trump years. She declared that she is no longer a country music singer this week. Her newest album, The Bridge, which, of course, we have to promote every time we talk about quitting country music.

Hey, I'm part of the Nashville edition of Columbia Records at my new album and The Bridge, but I'm no longer part of country music, okay? Rather, she says she's leaving because what she views as country music industry's unwillingness to honestly reckon with its history of racism

and misogyny and to open its gates to more women and queer people and people of color. Yeah, so there. How about you? Have you benefited from being a white woman? Well, yes, yes, she has. But that doesn't matter, okay? She said,

that she's claimed that because she was a female, she's scrutinized more than her male are you? She also says she's been an asker of questions and a status quo challenger just by being a woman. Is that right?

Okay. All right, calm down there. I know you were born in Arlington, Texas, but calm down. So after the Trump years, people's biases were on full display. It just revealed who people really were

and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic. All these things were being celebrated and it was weirdly dovetailing with this hyper-masculent branch of country music. I call it butt rock. Do you? Is that what you call it?

Warren? But rock? She doesn't think of herself as a political artist. Of course not. No. I just wrote songs about real life through the lens of deep respect for my country heroes. Oh, really? Yeah.

But when you start to see cracks, you know, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. I know, I've said that forever. Once you see it, you see it. Once you're in it, you're in it. That's a Jeff Fisher quote. I'm with you on that. So in her new music video, The Tree, Holmes have signs in the front yard that read, go, whoa, go broke. and don't treat

that's got to be don't tread on me that's got to be spelled wrong there's a sign that says don't treat on me I've never seen that one I have seen don't tread on me someone up against

dairy queen yeah don't treat on me she is you know unhappy with songs like try that in a small town from Jason L Dean she's also

been in a fight with Jason's wife, where Jason's wife, Brittany, questioned the legitimacy of transgender surgeries and treatment for children. Morris called Britney a scumb bag human and an insurrection Barbie. Yeah, but we're the ones that have a problem, right? We're the ones that show our biases on full display. That's not you by any means, is it? No, of course not, Marin Morris. No, it's us that's a problem. Not you. So anyway, you can dry your eyes. She was, she's going to be leaving country music. So I know, it's a sad day. It's a sad, sad day. It's also a sad day. Jan Wetter over the weekend, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine was removed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's board, which he also co-founded, in an interview with the New York

times the outlet asked why one or only interviewed white male artist for his new book called The Masters Hugh Bastard. He said Johnny Mitchell didn't meet the test. Yeah,

Johnny Mitchell didn't meet the test to have deep convos about rock and roll and that Marvin Gay and Curtis Mayfield didn't articulate at that level. now he's apologizing and said yeah I didn't mean to diminish their contributions

genius and impact of black and female artists I just you know said what I said so he's out have a nice day maybe that's why his book was called The Bastars eh Jan I don't know I don't know maybe maybe Marin Morris has a thing oh wait that's rock and roll that's not country never mind I guess we all need inclusion training

right i guess that's what we have to do remember a nascar driver noa graxon uh he liked a george floyd meme on instagram and by that uh we can't have that so he was suspended because he liked a george floyd meme on instagram yeah well he has now completed his diversity and inclusion training with naskar's partner rise adding that the group recommended his reinstatement, restoring his member privileges. Rise describes itself as a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice, and improve race relations. That is a good gig right there.

I mean, holy cow. You want to talk about somebody that's milking the system? I mean helping the system. That's Rise. a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice, and improve race relations. Now, remember he took to social media, and he thanked NASCAR for giving him a second chance, and he expressed his sincere gratitude, and he said,

I've dedicated myself to personal growth and reflection, and I believe I have become a better person because of it. I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and the NASCAR industry, and of course, rise, because they've taught me I can't like a meme on social media. So when you think to yourself, hey, should I like a meme on social media, you need to think again. And maybe you should go to diversity training, because that will help you remember no. I shouldn't like a meme on social media.

So congratulations to Noah. He's back racing and he's all happy. He's going to be more focused and committed than ever to representing a future team and the best way possible. He's ready to get back behind the wheel and compete at the highest level, giving it all on the track. Because he could have done that after he liked that meme on Instagram. That could not have happened.

So he had to get through. rise and their diversity trading before he could get back on the tracks. Did I mention that we live in amazing times? Because we live in amazing times. And I get it. I know I say never bend the knee, but I get it.

I mean, we're talking about millions of dollars. And this guy liked a meme. And so he took the heat for liking a meme. His team was like, of course, we're happy that he took full responsibility. Well, yeah, he took full responsibility and said, yeah, I got it. No problem. I like to meme. Sorry. Then they, you know, they suspended him and he went through the rise program so he could get back on the track and continue to earn a living in his job. It's a tough decision. It's a tough decision not to bend the knee because if he doesn't bend the knee there, he's gone. Right? He's

never racing again, or at least for a long, long time. So his livelihood and how he provides for his family is over. So, man, that's a tough, that's a tough one to do. But someone has to do it, though. Someone has to not bend the knee and stand up and take to the fight. And I, you know, he certainly decided that bending the knee was the way to go. And, you know, good, I don't, I don't dislike him for that. It's just weird that we have to go through all this BS and diversity and inclusion training because he liked a meme. Just

did I mention amazing times? Yeah, I think I did. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Oh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino

So if you're still being affected by the hacks of the MGM resorts in Las Vegas, because apparently that is still ongoing, they haven't paid the hackers yet. I don't know why that hasn't taken place. We know that Caesars was hacked, paid him off, moved on. And so now MGM, I guess. is not going to pay them. But the Hustler Club in Las Vegas, Larry Flint's Hustler Club,

rest and peace, Larry, is offering free luggage storage and airport pickup for people who are experiencing delays in check-ins, as well as a complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership and lap dances.

Brittany Rose, the general manager of the strip club, said she wants to take away some of the stress from customers and employees. our tourists, our hearts go out to both the employees as well as the tourists who have been affected by this devastating event as members of the hospitality industry. We decided to do our part to help improve the guest experience during their visit to Las Vegas,

which will in turn alleviate the stress of the employees who are so diligently handling the situation. So if you are going to Vegas, I would say that even if you aren't having issues, If you aren't experiencing delays and check-ins, I would find a way to say that you are experiencing delays in check-ins. So you get your free luggage storage and airport pickup, plus your complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership and lap dances at the Larry Flint's Hustler Club,

because why not? Pretty crazy football weekend this weekend. My Missouri Tigers won with a, close-out field goal, 61 yards by Mavis, who has the longest field goal in SEC history. Fantastic. We beat Kansas State. 15th ranked Kansas State, by the way. And so we are now 3 and 0. And I say we, as in the Missouri Tigers. Then we had Colorado come from behind win, 43 to 35 double overtime win against Colorado State in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. and so Coach Prime is still leading his Colorado Buffaloes

to an undefeated season so far. They've got Oregon and USC coming up. I think that undefeated season is going to come to an end very soon. But I also saw where, you know, the head coach of Colorado State had knocked Dionne Sanders for not taking off his sunglasses and his hat when he was talking to adults. And Dion used that as a, you know, as a motivation for his team,

a little bit of motivation to go up against Colorado State. He also said that, yeah, I sold $1.2 million worth of my custom sunglasses on Friday. So keep talking bad about me, Jay. Don't worry about it. I'm just going to keep hawking my goods right here, okay, because I am

Dion Sanders. So, I mean, he brings, a guy is like a lightning rod man, so he is definitely bringing the celebrities out for Colorado football. I mean, they were all there. And every story talks about how all the rappers were there and the rock was there well the rock was there because he was he showed up on friday to be on pat mackafee's show because he was on uh game

day saturday morning as their guest picker so he stuck around and then friday night he and mackafee were on uh smackdown for w e and then saturday uh the rocks just stayed in town for the uh for the football game so I don't know the Rockas got stuff to Hawk too he's got he took kind of a beating over the Maui thing he talked about it on McAfee a little bit about how what he should have said was

this but he did it I was correct when I talked about this on Pat Gray's show is that he did donate the millions and the money is going to the people so he just you know the idea that he did donate cash and that he was using money

just that was donated was completely false. And so, you know, anyway, that's why he was there for the entire weekend. He's just kind of laying the groundwork for, hey, I'm still the rock, and you're not. And of course, we still have the United Nations convening in this country in New York City. Starts today, for those of you listening live, the 18th of September. The 78th U.N. General Assembly is convening in New York today. About 150 world leaders. So be ready for you. for the climate activist to be all around demanding the end of fossil fuels. I'm sure they'll be taking pictures with their iPhones.

So the irony just doesn't show for them. So it'll be unbelievably agonizing. And why we still have the UN here in the United States is beyond me. But we do. So just be ready for all the fun that that entails. I don't know if we're going to find out anything from Ford GM or Stalantis. as they're still on strike. We'll see if the UAW decides that they want to work out a deal.

I heard that Stalantus offered a 21% pay increase over four years. And, you know, they want like 40%, plus they want to work a four-day work week, and they want their retirement benefits left in full. I get some of their demands. But 40% pay in boost in pay? Good luck with that. We'll see how that works out as well. And then we've got to talk about,

we don't have time to get to all of these today. But we have Lauren Bolbert getting felt up and vaped at a movie theater with Beetlejuice. Her new man, I guess, is a, you know, a bar owner. We still, we're hanging on to Susan Gibson, the Virginia running for a seat with chatterbate. we have the governor of south dakota christie gnome apparently in a years long uh business affair yeah bidness affair with corey lewandowski the trump uh creepy guy he's okay i guess but uh you know everything beauty is in the eye of the beholder isn't it We have Russell Brand being accused of rape and sexual assault.

We have the Burbank mayor in California confronted because he was at some drag queen show getting spanked. We got to get into all of these. I mean, it is just, I mentioned we live in amazing times, didn't I, because we live in amazing times. Now, I'm going to have to, I'm going to play some audio for you here, that you, uh, You may cry because I did. Well, I don't want to say that. I welled up. I don't know that a tear actually dropped on my cheek, but I did well up.

Now, it was sent to me via email at chewing the fat of the blaze.com under the heading, You Will Cry 2. And any time, that's like a dare. You know, I mean, somebody sends me an email that says that, you will cry too. Oh, yeah, no, I won't. And I'm going to click on the story. That's just the way it is. Now, the story is about a police officer who comforts a crying suicidal veteran who just wants a hug.

And it's incredible because, you know, we give policemen so much, so much trouble for what they do and how they react to things. But this particular story is, this particular video clip is pretty amazing. You'll hear that it's a Connecticut state police officer. and his name is Kyle and I'll just leave it at that but it's pretty so this the officer sees the truck along the side

of the road and he pulls up behind it What's going on? What branch you in? Army? All right, hey my name's Kyle all right, we'll help you out, all right? I'm here with you I'm here with you, all right? I'm going to start an ambulance over here to us, okay? All right, bud? Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, hey. If I send you, it's nothing on you, okay? That's pretty sweet. All right? I did not know that. I will say that. If the officer sends the person to the hospital with the ambulance, they cover it. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. Maybe the police officer will cover it. Maybe he'll work it out.

But that was nice. Can you step out of the car, boss? Just so we can talk? Quit calling me boss You're going to put in front of your truck, bud Thank you for me. Start an ambulance to a 6-8 off-ramp eastbound. I'm with a vet who's on the suicide hotline.

You have anything on you? No, no. Okay, is that if I check-out? Cool. Any deployments, bud? One. One? No weapon.

No weapon. No weapon. No weapon. No weapon. All right. Relax, though. Hey, I'm here with you, okay? I'm here.

Oh, hi. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And then he gives him a hug. Amazing. So just remember that if you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, just call 988 for immediate help 24-7.

And since the tear did drop specifically down my cheek, it doesn't count as crying, right? Right. And, you know, watching it again makes me think that if the police officer pulls up behind you on the interstate, man, that would be. a good way to get out of a ticket i know that's not what he's doing don't look at me like that i'm just saying it would be a good way to get out of a ticket so just i'm not saying do that just just now hit me that it sure would be a good way to get out of a ticket all right stop it was just the just the
