Okay so this recall Is not the 100,000 Tundra pickup trucks that they recalled Along with the Lexus LX600s Because the engines were losing power while they were driving No, it's not that one

So this one isn't the Rav4 Prime Plug-in hybrid vehicles because the hybrid vehicles were shutting down? No, it's not that one either. So this one isn't the Tundra and Tundra hybrid that had an accessory that detach from other joints on the vehicle? No, it's not that one. That's not the one with the Corolla Cross

where the instrument panel and properly deployed the front passenger airbags? No. It's not that one. Oh, really? Yeah, no, not that one. It isn't where the lug nuts that connect the wheels to the vehicle may not have been tightened properly, which can result in the wheels detaching?

No, it's not that recall. Well, which one is this one? Well, this one concerns 43,000 Sequoia hybrid SUVs because the tow hitch covers just fall off. I'm sorry, could potentially fall off. And then that could become a road hazard. So, hey, if they come up. off the rear bumper while owners driving the recalled vehicles. Man, we're sorry. We recalled it. And we're telling them, hey, bring it in. They're equipped with the resin tow hitch cover that's

held in place by molded clips to the rear bumper. But the design of the attachment structure between the toe hitch cover and the bumper, yeah, that's insufficient retention of the cover. So it could just fall up. So if you're following, If you're driving on the road and you're behind one of those 43,000 Sequoia hybrid SUVs, keep an eye on that toe hitch because it could come off at any moment. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Congratulations to Phoenix, Arizona.

Yes, Phoenix, Arizona. They have just set a record. They hit 100 degrees for the 100th day in a row. So today, if you're listening live, is the 4th of September 2024, which would make it day 101. Congratulations to Phoenix, Arizona. Right. Thank you. They deserve a round of applause, although they don't really have anything to do with it.

But congratulations to them. The heat contributed according to the medical examiner, 645 deaths. Did it. Okay. And it's already confirmed 177 heat-related deaths this year and is investigating another 436. So they've got a real homeless problem in Phoenix, Arizona, man. Because if that many people are dying due to heat-related incidents in Phoenix, Arizona, that's a problem.

If you move to Phoenix, Arizona, you expect the dry heat. Well, it's dry, all right. It's just 100 degrees or more. dry heat. So congratulations. And this of course is because of, you know, climate change. Of course it is. Of course, we know now that the Atlantic Ocean that was supposed to be warming and heating up like never before is actually cooling down. The hurricane season that was supposed to be a huge hurricane season like never before is actually not. And it's actually slower than predicted. So we're revising our hurricane schedule. You know that. But then the city in

The desert is a surprise when it's really hot. But congratulations for setting the 100th day in a row at 100 plus degrees. I'm with you, Phoenix. I'm with you. It's been, I thought it was going to snow yesterday here in DFW because it was like 75. It was like 75 degrees and raining. And I'm like, it might snow. I may need to get a jacket out because it wasn't 100.

degrees. So it's amazing. And we're back in the 80s today. The weather report, let me go to the green screen, let you know as we catch the heat area coming across the high pressure system. But, I mean, it's amazing the difference that, I mean, when you're baking and the sun is that close to you, and then it gets down to what other places think is summer weather at 75, and you're like, holy cow, it might snow. So we are like one step closer anyway to getting the Francis Scott Key Bridge back up and running, and I doubt that it's going to be named the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the new bridge. They're probably going to have some barrier out in the river there, and that's going to be, yeah, that's the Francis Scott Key barrier. And we're going to call the bridge another

name. I'll guarantee you that. It's not going to be the old white guy that wrote the song for America. That's not going to happen. But I don't. maybe it will maybe it will maybe it will but we have now approved a contract that will allow pre-construction and design work to start according to this next week uh so it's been uh you know a five-month long saga since the bridge collapse and aftermath uh pretty incredible so the company uh they awarded it's a Nebraska company that they awarded the contract to. The Q-W-I-T,

Q-E-W-I-T, Ki-W-I-T? Yeah, like I said, Key-W-I-T, right? K-I-E-W-I-T. I hate to make you work again, but... Key-W-I-T. Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. They received $73 million.

$73 million as a little down payment just to get started, just to get your feet wet. It's a down payment. It's expected to be at least $1.7 billion total project money-wise to replace the bridge. State officials noted that Kiwit has done, no, you don't need to, you can stay there, don't worry about it. that Kiwit has done work for the MDTA in the past and boasts the portfolio of similar projects around the nation and globally. The contractor, even though identified, there's no specifics on the new bridge.

Those have not been decided yet. Well, of course. That'd be stupid. They've only spent $73 million. This is the beginning phase to get this thing started. We're getting to it. We'll get to it. We'll figure out.

I mean, we want to open in October of 2028. We'll see if that actually happens. And it's likely to be a cable stayed, meaning it would have tall towers similar to a suspension bridge. Suspension, say the word correctly. Suspension. No, I don't need you to come out, and I understand how to pronounce it.

Suspension. With a web of cables connected to the bridge's deck or roadway. And we'll be taller, longer, and slightly wider than the old Trush Bridge. So the new spans vertical clearance will be at least 230 feet, which is a lot higher than the old bridge. The old bridge was 185 feet. And it will be longer to allow the roadway to reach the increased height

without requiring drivers to climb a steep incline. So they're going to have to knock out all kinds of stuff on both sides of the old bridge. Wow. If you think that's going to be $1.7 billion. You are sadly mistaken. So the span will be built on the same center line as the old bridge. And like the Feld structure, we'll have four lanes,

although the shoulders will be substantially wider, in accordance with updated Federal Bridge code. Yeah, we can't make it. We've got new codes to follow, no problem. So anyway, we're underway and we'll see what happens. But for 73 million, we'll get the designs to you. That's what we're working on right now. They're going to bring in, this is for the crews that are going to demolish what's left on both sides

so they could make the on-wraps even bigger. It's going to be a nightmare. It's going to be a nightmare. Oh, my gosh. When you hear that sound, that's a breaking news sounder here on chewing the fat, and that means our CTF man on the street reporter, Chris Cruz, has breaking news for the show. Chris, are you okay?

I'm here in Nebraska. Ooh. Wow. We were just talking about Nebraska. You were? The Nebraska Company, the Kuwit. Keywit.

Keywit company. Got the contract for the bridge. Well, thank you for saying that. Because I just passed him and they're like, ooh, they're excited. But it's official. The Tim Waltz family will support.

Donald J. Trump and have officially posted a picture of all the family wearing a Trump 2024 shirt. That is awesome.

Trump 2024 flag that says take America back. That is awesome. So Tim Tom Wals. Tim Tom Wals family is going to be posted

with that. That's awesome. That's awesome. They like him just as much as we do. Good for him. So are you okay? I mean? Oh yeah.

I'm okay. Just a little too much party last night at the game. All right. If you want to know the full story, go to Pat Grant Leach. I'm not going to tell it again. But water the over and under that the entire Tim Tom Wall's family will be at the next. Oh my gosh. Yes.

Yes, they will. He'll bring them all out, man. That'll be all. awesome. Every single one of them will be on stage with Donald J. Trump. That'll be great. Which is interesting because I remember last week you talked about how they

they were saying we don't want to be in it because of the whole precedential thing. So we'll see what happens now. Yeah, now everybody's, well look, if you want to get into a little politics here on June the VAT, I mean that's what that's what they did, they, them did to RFK

when they put his whole family at the White House there with Joe, which was agonizing. And so now this is just a little pushback against Tim Tom. So I'll send it back to you because my throw hurts and I'm tired. All right, there's the breaking news here on CTF. Breaking news with our man on the street reporter, Chris Cruz. So I hope he's okay. I mean, he was in Dallas last night and out there in Nebraska today.

So, whoof. Man's on the move. Man is on the move. 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. You know, we haven't talked about the Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi,

All You Can Eat Contest that took place on Netflix over the weekend. I mean, it was the event was in Vegas. It was hosted by Rob Riggle and former WWDW. wrestler Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella. She was there without her wedding ring on, too, by the way, because of her wife-beaten husband. Anyway, they were in Vegas,

and the poolside pep band and Team Joey, Team Kobe, and DJ Colleeds, all I do is win was playing. And they were getting all warmed up at the unfinished beef event. And Matt Stoney, who broke Chestnuts Coney Island winning streak in 2015, battled three Olympians in a

chicken wing contest. He ate 53 wings in three minutes. besting the combined efforts of a water polo player Max Irving and swimmers Ryan Lottke and Ryan Murphy who put down 36, nothing. And then the 24-time Guinness World Record holder, Leah, who earned another spot in the books after eating over 2,000 grams, that's more than four pounds, of watermelon in three minutes. Wow. Over four pounds. of watermelon in four minutes. That's that's a difference. I'm not a speed eater.

I'm a distance. I'm like the canyon of eaters. I don't do the, I don't do the interest. But then they finally, they finally got to Jaws and tsunami. And incredible. So I see a play-by-play

for USA Today. And it started out. They talked about the VIP guests. Joey Chestnut had Pat Bertoletti, the 2024, Nathan's champion, as on the guest list. so he was there. And then Kobayashi listed included Tomoko Miyaki and Sato, the women eater.

They all flew in from Japan for it. So it was big, I mean, the event was awesome. Netflix went all out for it. And, I mean, Joey set a new record for himself. I mean, it was incredible. It was unbelievable. You watched the video of them at the end. He ate 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

It was incredible Kobayashi did not come close He only ate 66 And I think they knocked one off of that And made it 65 After they tallied the crumbs on the floor That he was eating But I loved the play-by-play

That was given On out of USA Today Because it started out with chestnut 14 Kobayashi 11 That was after one minute. Chessnut breaks his record for hot dogs in a minute. Awesome.

After two minutes, Chestnut 25. Kobayashi 22. Chestnut devouring dogs at a record pace. Kobayashi staying within striking distance. Chestnut and Kobayashi, four minutes completed. Chestnut 44. Kobayashi 38.

He breaks his record pace for four minutes, according to the Netflix stream. minutes into the end of the contest chestnut 51 kobiashi 45 chestnut pulling away moving at a tremendous pace it was just like secretariat then we get into six minutes completed chestnut 59 kobiashi 50 looks like the odds makers were right chestnut looking as powerful as ever the chance go up joey joey joey joey jessette and kobiashi seven minutes completed chestnut was 66 kobiashore with 55. Chestnut now with his own record in sight.

Eight minutes completed. Chestnut was 72. Kobayashi was 60. Chestnut just five dogs from breaking his record of 76. Nine minutes completed. Chestnut was 77 hot dogs devoured. Kobayashi 63. Chestnut sets a new record of 77 hot dogs with a minute 10 left to eat. Then the final minute. Chestnut, 83, Kobayashi 67. It's a record-breaking route for Joey Chestnut.

Come on. Ted. There it is. Yes, there it is. So Joey got 82, 83, and Kobayashi had 67. That's what was totaled in at the end, but then we went back.

and set the record. So congratulations to both men. I mean, they were eating at a tremendous pace. And then they, you know, they got, Kobayashi was slapped down hard from Joey Chesnut there. And they weren't able to dip. You know, Joey's little tip trademark

where we dip it in the water and then, you know, there was no water. It was all dry. I know. And that's what killed Kobayashi because he had those crumbs everywhere from eating it. I just, holy cow. I mean, it's as exciting as it is.

And as amazing as it is to see, oof, that's tough. That's tough. I've been in a couple of All You Can Eat Contest. And I've got to do the distance. I can't do the quick. I can't. I just can't.

So I'm finished beef on Netflix was awesome. Now I see also this weekend, the Cincinnati Bengals are going to have Joey Chestnut there as the team's half-time entertainment up there in Cincinnati as the opening matchup as they take on the New England Patriots. There's going to be, he's going to take on five other competitors in an Octoberfest Broughtwurst eating competition. So it's going to be halftime at the Cincinnati Bengals game.

I don't know if he holds the record or not because you can hold the record in the Guinness and you can hold the world record for the world, eaters championship or whatever they call themselves. And I apologize. I can't remember what the heck they call themselves now. They call themselves the Major League Eating. I apologize. My heartfelt apologies.

Major League eating. So you can have an award and a championship in Major League Eating and still not hold the Guinness World Record. So you can be a champion either way. All right.

but hopefully a profitable one. Well, good news. You don't have to just imagine.

So coming up in October at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas, USA, more than 2,000 items from Game of Thrones are going to be auctioned off. Apparently, they're going to have the Iron Throne. They're going to have John Snow's sword. Is it a sword or a sword?

And they're going to... I know what it is. Why are you with telling me that in my ear? Stop talking. I got it. Is it a sword or a sword? It's sword. No, I know. I thank you. I appreciate it. So the auction is open to preliminary bidding.

Starting bids for each item range from $500 to $200 to $20. $20,000. Okay, so you can get a White Walker display figure from Game of Thrones. That's starting bid is $5,000. They have all the swords.

Is it sword or sword? I know, that's the whole point. Okay, so you can get the Ned Stark Hero Long's word, scabbard and belt from Game of Thrones. You can get the Theon Greyjoy scabbard sheath, belt, and the sword or sword. And you can get the other

Theon Greyjoy Hero Longsword or sword from Game of Thrones. Ah, yes, please. You can get the Denarius Targaryen. Amelia Clark, the first costume from Game of Thrones which, you know, that she was, while she was still, she was the exiled sister to the king then. I mean, she was just walking around in her

little robe, big deal. I mean, it would be all right to have. You can get the midget wear. I mean, the Tyrion Lannister, Peter Dinklage, signature ensemble. That starts at 8,000. That would be cool. That would be cool to have your kid dress up for Halloween because you'd have to be your kid unless, you know, you're married to a midgetter.

Anyway, so then you can get the, they have, let's see, the wedding dress, a Denarius Targaryen's wedding dress. This is what I want a dragon egg. That would be cool to have. A dragon egg? Yes, please. $3,600 opening bit. Is that just one? One dragon egg.

Okay. So they got multiple dragon eggs. There were multiple dragon eggs. Oh, those were probably AI, Jeff. Oh, okay. So what else have we got cooking? I love the stores. I don't care about those.

We've got the tapestries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would love to have the map. The Game of Thrones map. That would be really cool, and I doubt that they have it. And the thing is, here's another, okay, so they got another, you know, the black doublet from Peter War, Tyrion Laster. Okay, so that's like the size of my arm.

All right, I'm not, like, I probably won't even fit around my wrist. All right, I don't, come on now, I want something real. The dark green overcoat, uh, Caitlin Stark, uh, war, that would be cool. I'd like to have that. not for me to wear personally, but it would be cool to see, you know, like my wife in it. There's some really, I want,

oh, there's a dragon head. What about a real dragon? Do I get a real dragon? Is that coming to heritage oxygen? I get a dragon skull from Game of Thrones. It starts at 2,500. I don't know if it was touched by everyone on the set or if it was, it was one of the dragon.

Now, remember they had the big giant skull down underneath. That would be awesome. Remember we saw in the latest Game of Thrones that they were dragging the dead dragon skull into the city and that's the skull that's underneath the castle. I mean, that's what it was meant to be. They showed them coming off. Now that's not an auction.

I want it to be. I'll see another dragon egg. Okay, nice. It would be cool to have a dragon egg, no question. What else we have here? Anything cool? It would be kind of cool to have the armor ensemble with a weapon. That'd be kind of cool.

A helmet, but I'd like the entire ensemble. At one time I had a couple of soldiers made out of metal at my house. I loved them. Love them. They were awesome. Then my wife decided that, that was my first wife. She decided that we don't need those anymore. Okay, I could spend the rest of the day going through Heritage Auction

on what they have for Game of Thrones. So I'll go through and get highlights. We're going to have to talk to someone from Heritage Auctions. I want to see. I want to know what the highlighted items are. I want to have. I'll look at the Brianna of Tarth dress. Yeah, those are cool.

Those would be cool to have. But really what I want is a dragon. And speaking of auctions, did you see where a Yeti had their giant coffin-shaped liquid death cooler that they put out. There was only one. Uh-huh. There was only one made, and they auctioned it off. And the final bid for this white coffin, which was really, it was kind of cool.

I wouldn't mind having it. It said, you know, with ice, you could squeeze up to about 300 cans in it, keep it in your backyard, the Yeti coffin, liquid death coffin. It would be kind of cool to have. I don't know. It measured 83 inches long, 28 inches wide, 23 inches high,

85 pounds. That's enough for him to stash 378 12 ounce cans or 252 19.2 ounce cans of liquid death or whatever you prefer it as the beverage. So they auctioned it off. And the winning bid,

and I don't know, we're going to have to find out I'm going to have to check in to see if they actually got this because I almost, I was looking at it and it was like, I don't know, like 40,000

or something like that. And I thought, wow, I'll just add it because you could go in $200 increments. I thought I would bid just 200, just so like I said I bid on it. And it would go up to $40,200. And then someone would outbid me and I'd be good. But I didn't do it because I thought, I'm for sure, no one will bid another dime on this thing. And they'll come back to me saying, congratulations. You won the coffin for $40,200.

And then I'd be out of luck. So the winning bid for the Yeti liquid death coffin, $56,230. So, yeah, I'm not spending that for that. Sorry, that's not happening. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

Product availability varies by region.

See app for details. Who died today? Who died today? James Darren. James Darren, he was a teen idol, acted in Gidgett, a singer, a director, dead at the age of 88. And he was in all kinds of TV shows. Star Trek Deep Space 9, T.J. Hooker.

If you see him, you'd go, oh, yeah, him. James Naron, dead at the age of 88. He passed away at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles at the age of 88. Born in Philadelphia, I say that just to make my wife happy. born in Philadelphia. And so apparently he was supposed to have some sort of aortic valve replacement, but they said that he was too weak for surgery. But they should have done it because he probably would have died out on the operating table,

which is what they were concerned about. But he died anyway. Very sad. James Darren, rest in peace, dead at the age of 88. Then we have Well, Kim Jong-un. We don't know the names of the 30 officials. I mean, someone does.

I do not. There were 30 officials executed in North Korea. Over their alleged failure to prevent massive flooding and landslides in the summer that resulted in the deaths of some 4,000 people. So he was pissed that the landslides and the rains and flooding. killed 4,000 people, so he killed 30 more. And you'd be happy to get shot from old Kimmy. He might have sat you down and had a few words for you

and did a few things you didn't want done. There's a picture of him touring some of the flooded areas and he's got this nasty look on his face. If you were part of the leadership, you knew, right? right that your days are never but kim kim it's not on us that's how there he is they've got a nice shot of him in a boat oh man he's so pissed there very sad the rest in peace to the 4,000 people who died in the flooding and the landslides and the other 30 people that were you know murdered from

kim himself it didn't say it was him that did it he just ordered it done it's probably his sister she probably gets off on it. Then we have 129 people in the Congo. 129 people are dead, 59 others injured, after an attempted escape from a prison in the DRC

in the DRC's capital. Roughly two dozen people were shot by guards as they sought to break out while the remainder of the dead were reportedly killed in a subsequent crowd surge and fire. Yeah, they didn't care.

We were just dropping you. There's no, you know, the guys aren't breaking out this prison, okay? So the Malacala prison, M-A-K-A-L-A, I believe it's Makala, Central Prison in the Congo's capital, the Congo River of Central Africa. It was built in 1957.

The country was still under Belgian rule. The capital's sole prison facility is designed to hold 1,500 prisoners and houses nearly 12,000 inmates. Holy cow. 70% of whom haven't yet faced trial. Sound familiar? Anyway, just a... They, rights advocates have long condemned the facility is unsafe.

Yeah. Prisoners reportedly attempted to break out of their cells amid a power outage that had cut off fans and water. Access... No fans, no water, 90-degree heat. Officials estimated roughly 500 inmates died last year. from suffocation and disease in the facility, comes after the country of 100 million people

also responds to an M-Pox outbreak. Oh, no. And a resurgence in its three decades civil conflict. So, man, great. We've got civil conflict going on in the DRC. We've got power going, which is why the power is going off at the prisons because they've got civil conflict.

And we've got the M-Pox outbreak. We had the prisoner in Iowa. They got the, M-Pox outbreak too. I know, we're just like the DRC. So apparently the Iowa Department of Corrections confirms the M-Pox. It's been

detected at the state prison Fort Dodge. I don't know if you ever, you know, I've not spent any time at Fort Dodge. You may know someone who has. But M-Pox causes severe rashes. Yeah, we know. We got all that. Originally found in Africa, yeah, we got all that.

Health officials say M-Pox is spread through close contact with someone who has the virus, yes we know, or by touching surfaces or items, no, I'm sorry, no. If I touch a surface, well, maybe if, maybe if someone from the DRC had sat down on my desk without any pants on and put some kind of Mpox goo on it and then I touched it, yes, I would get it. But just someone that doesn't have the open wound goo on the stuff, you're not, you're not catching it that way. I'm sorry. I'm not a doctor, so maybe you are. You know, What do I know?

Nothing. So they've confirmed the cases of M-Pox at Fort Dodge Correctional Facilities. Have fun. Good luck. God bless. And you know, the Mike Lynch death is not going away at all. You know, Mike Lynch is the guy who died in his yacht, right? Because they claimed that a water spout or tornado

went up and it tipped it over and they sank, and he and his daughter died. And other people died. Well, now they're saying, well, maybe it wasn't. all that was cracked up to be. I mean, that's what they're investigating. They're blaming the captain. They're saying, you know, because the windows were open and went down fast, but some protocols weren't met.

So we'll see that. We'll see. We had the super yacht maker come out. Remember he said the maker said it shouldn't have sunk like that. And he was saying, he was saying, it's not on me. I didn't do anything to do it. Okay, so we'll see if long as. But now they're also coming after, remember, he was celebrating his $11 billion

win in the U.S. because he was being sued. And Hewlett Packard said, yeah, well, we're not going to drop the UK claim for damages. That's, you know, the wife can still cover that. That's like, well, we want, we're asking for $4 billion. Okay. And so apparently the judge has already said that the final sum

would not be the full amount that they're asking for. So I would not be ready to spend every dime there, Angela, the wife of Mike Lynch, because they're still coming after the money. Now, she might be able to sue the people who, the people who are working for her aren't going to have enough money for her to make anything, right? I mean, if they screwed up and did some stuff wrong,

I mean, it's terrible as it is, and, you know, the daughter and the husband and all the other people who died is terrible. It is it. You're not going to get any money from those people, which is why the boatmaker came out early and said, not me. Ha, man, the way I built that ship, that thing should have made it.

bad checks into the ATM and then for exorbitant amounts of money and then have the credit appear in their accounts and they were able to withdraw some before the bank caught the mistake.

Now, kind of stupid I know it's a viral hack, I get it, but it's kind of stupid since you had to put your own account in there to begin with. So, you're writing a bad check to steal money. That's illegal. You're not

supposed to be able to do that. Back in the day, you could maybe front a check, you know, where I would, you might not, was it, I say I, oh man, I've not admitted anything, no. People, people, people in the past would write a check and then you give it to say, I don't know, a grocery chain and they would give you the money for the check and then they would deposit the check in the bank. But if you cash the check at the right time after the bank deposits, it's already been picked up that day, that your check would not go to the bank.

until the following day. So it wouldn't even be processed until two or three days later. But you've got the money. All right. Now, that's, you know, you're not supposed to be able. You can't do that today. They don't allow you to do that. Bastards, they've set up their damn.

They follow you everywhere. They're on you everywhere you go. But, you know, you were able to do that. And, you know, that whole check cutting thing is, you know, they frown upon that. Anyway, so people were, you know, there were, all kinds of videos out there showing guys, you know, taking huge amounts of money and partying with it. Most of those were probably fake.

There were some that were concerned because, you know, the bank didn't confirm how many customers participated in the scheme. They did say that telling customers don't try it and depositing bad checks and then withdrawing the money is a fraud, plain and simple, no question. But the machine, normally when you put a check in, the money is not available right now, which is what the glitch was.

So you put the check in. Under your account, see, the whole thing just doesn't make any sense. You're dumb if you do that. I don't know why. I mean, I guess if you were going to go away, if you were going to go away and, you know, disappear, you could do that.

But to, you know, to put it into your own account and then withdraw the extra money, that's just, of course, it's going to come back on you. It just, the negative. Anyway, some people apparently were upset about the negative balances from the bank. Yeah, your negative $99,000. You shouldn't have taken that $100,000 out of the bank. Dummy.

So, I mean, I know that people, you know, have, have, get in trouble for writing bad checks all the time. But it wasn't, I wasn't writing, I mean, the people, people weren't writing bad checks back of the day. I was just, I knew I was going to have money coming in. and I just, it wasn't there yet. So I was, you know, looking ahead of the money. I mean, the bank does it. The bank does it now to me, all right? Now they do what I did to them.

And they're getting away with it. Because when I write a, when I pay for something, we've talked about this before, maddening. When I pay for something, it automatically gets deducted from my account. Okay. But the bank still uses my money

until the company that I bought my product from asks the bank for the money. So the bank is using my money for free. And I don't have access to it because they're already saying that money's gone. But it's not already gone. It's still there because the company that, as the product, hasn't asked them for it.

But the bank is sitting on it. I got to calm down for a second because it makes me so angry. because then if you overdraw they charge you for that even though that money is still in there that money is still in there

but no it's not because we've taken it out of your account well no you've taken that out of my account and put it into yours but that money is still in the bank all right because the company hasn't asked for it I don't even I just can't I don't know if that's going to work

I don't know if it's going to work I don't. I don't know if it's going to work, but I'll try. Okay. All right. All right. Fine. All right.

I should get out of here. I'll leave you with a joke of the day. We'll just get out of here. Okay. So this joke, I believe I told on Saturday morning live, the show I do with Brad Stags every Saturday. It's available. You can watch it on X on my X account at Jeffrey JFR.

Saturday morning live. 9 a.m. Central time. We have a lot of fun. Brad and I do. Bradstags for him. It's the name of his stupid thing. Oh, yeah, Mojo 5-0. And his Mojo 5-0 in the mornings.

But I told this joke, and it actually makes me laugh every time I read it, so you get it again. You get the recycled joke from Saturday morning live. It's the world's shortest fairy tale. We're talking about Game of Thrones. So it's a world's shortest fairy tale. Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, will you marry me?

The girl said no. And the guy lived happily ever after. Now, I should just stop it there. That would be the actual shortest fairy tale right there. But, of course, this joke goes out with saying, he lived happily ever after, went fishing, hunting, played golf, lot, drank beer, and farted whenever he wanted to. The end.

But the actual shortest fairy tale would be once upon a time. A guy asked a girl, will you marry me? The girl said no. And the guy lived happily ever after.
