Okay, I would like to offer my services to the city of Dallas, Texas. They just approved a contract for more than $6 million to count all the trees on city property. I promise the city of Dallas, even with... maybe, you know, some cost overruns by the end of my counting of the trees. I will do it for under $6 million. I will save the city of Dallas money. I will do it for less than the approved $6 million contract to count the city's trees. Now, we don't know who's going to count them yet, so that's why I'm offering my services.

The director of City Parks Department said a tree inventory is needed to protect. the trees. Oh, okay. $2.5 million will come from the city's stormwater drainage fund, and $3.8 million will come from the city's general fund. So I'm just here, letting you know and letting the world know and letting the city of Dallas know. This show originates from Fort Worth, Texas, and or slash Irving, Texas. So it's in the DFW-Met Troplex that I will count all the trees on Dallas City property for under $6 million. And, you know, before we even come to the agreed upon price, you're welcome. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. I don't know if you know this or not, but we are in a very strange place in this country. I know, I know, I know. I know. I'm just going out on a limb there. So a young student, a boy, a kid 11 years old, going to St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Virginia, has been suspended two days because he reported that another student came to school with a bullet, but he didn't report it soon enough. Now, he got suspended for two days, and the kid who brought the bullet to the school got suspended.

for two days. Something is very wrong with that train of thinking. So the parents are a little upset. I find that upsetting as well. I would be very angry. So apparently, the boy was getting ready to take a test and the student pulled out a bullet and showed it to this 11-year-old kid, his classmate. And the boy said he was shocked, but I didn't tell the school principal until about two hours later. They took the standardized test, took about an hour and a half, he then went to another class with the student, and as soon as that was over, he went to the principal's office and told the principal that this other kid brought a bullet to school. Now, he did that so that he wouldn't be the snitch and be called out, but he did, you know, wait those whole two hours. Now, police were

called and officers found the bullet in the student's bag. The student who had the bullet was suspended for two days. But, the school also is suspended the kid who reported it because he didn't do it fast enough. I know. Sorry about that, but we appreciate you coming forward and letting us know the problem, but you didn't do it fast enough. So we're going to go ahead and suspend you too. I mean, their excuse is, okay, I get that the school wants to have things reported. In a timely fashion, we'll say that.

And in a real emergency, gaps in reporting time may have major consequences for school safety. Got it. And we expect the students to learn from this and move forward. Well, the students, I think, would learn that I'm not going to say anything. When the kid says he showed me the bullet, I'm going to say, no, he didn't. I don't know what he's talking about. He's the crazy one. He brought the bullet.

I mean, I just don't get it. Of course, we train these kids in shooter drills, constantly, and now we're training them to be snitches, see something, say something. Just amazing that this school would suspend this kid for reporting it. It was not in a timely fashion. Okay, so this kid did the test, went to another class, and then after that class was over, he wanted to report it to the school. And he said he wanted to do it so that it would be anonymous, which is out the window now

because everyone knows about it and he's being suspended. Just incredible. We live, again, we live in amazing times. Now, of course, the parents want the school to apologize and remove the suspension from the boy's record. Ha, good luck with that. And people keep saying, see something, say something,

and I agree with that. Oh, the mom said, we train these kids, yeah, we train these kids to report, do shooter drills, and we are training them to report. And the mom is agreeing with that. that and she believes that her son just uh you know and her son did it but according to the school he didn't do it in a timely enough fashion just just amazing just amazing now on the other hand the mother says uh that they are ruining this kid's academic career by putting a suspension on his

middle school record i don't know that that's true either are we have i i'm trying to remember if any of my middle school activities have come back to haunt me in my adult life, the answer to that would be, well, officially, no. But unofficially, well, maybe. I mean, let's say the kid gets out of school and he decides he wants to go to work for Aldi, the grocery chain, because Aldi just announced that they're going to add 13,000 workers this holiday season, boosting the average hourly wage to $23 an hour. The jobs will be in stores and warehouses.

The chain said in a statement with an average starting wage between $18 and $23 an hour, and based on market positions, of course. And we have 49,000 employees already and 2,000 stores across 36 states. If he went to Aldi and said, yeah, in middle school, I got suspension for a next. reporting a school incident in a timely fashion. Is all they going to hold that against them? I do not think so. I do not think so. So according to this, I mean, this is a good gig if you're looking for a gig. This is for sure. Employees working more than 30 hours a week will have access to health insurance, paid time off, flexible scheduling, and 100% paid parental and caregiver leave.

It also promotes heavily from existing staff. 70% of assistance to managers and 43% of managers starting as associates. Yeah, that's a good deal. That's a good gig. And, you know, I would say that, you know, working in the grocery chain for many years, that is, you know, a really, that's a good gig, $23 an hour. Working at a grocery store, oh yeah, that's a good deal. Now, is what, how is that going to affect your prices at the discount grocery chain? You know already how that's going to affect. your prices at the discount grocery chain of Aldi. Look for those prices to go up.

I mean, we had the earnings call from Kroger last week, who is, I guess, considered the third largest grocery chain in the U.S. behind Walmart and Costco. And then if they get that merger with Albertsons, I guess that probably will still keep them in third place, but within a stronger position, of course. They said on the earnings call, the CEO, of Kroger, Rodney McCullen, I'm sorry, Rodney McMullen.

He stated that the cost of groceries is now affecting even customers who would not be as budget conscious. Oh, isn't that interesting? And the reduction of excess savings built up during the pandemic, higher interest rates, and the effect of inflation are pressuring customers' ability to spend. Uh, thank you, Rodney. We really appreciate it. not know that. He said that this is especially true for our most budget conscious customers, as we've been seeing for a while now. But we're now seeing other customer segments beginning to make

changes as well. Customers are purchasing lower price cuts of meat, buying less and focusing on essentials. I wonder why that is. Yeah, and that's what's going to happen at Aldi as well. People are going to Aldi because of the low prices. But if they continue to pay employees $23 an hour, those low prices are going to go away. I mean, even Amazon launched a budget-friendly grocery brand. Amazon Saver, the e-commerce giant's answer to private label food brands from rivals Walmart and Target will eventually feature more than 100 items, most of which will cost less than $5. The company already has grocery brands, but the no frills saver is the cheapest amid inflation, cash-strapped shoppers increasingly abandoned premium brands for low-budget options

like targets good and gather. Though Amazon had yet joined the fray until now, Prime members will get an additional 10% off-saver products. So you still have to pay to play, but you can play and it will be cheaper. Okay, good luck. With AmX Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex.

Conditions apply. I want you to imagine for a moment that you're about to make the biggest financial decision most people make in their lives. And that's either buying or selling a house or both. I want you to imagine that maybe you live in, I don't know, a state like Virginia. And you send your kids to a private Catholic school. And the Catholic school isn't quite living up to what you had hoped. And you're ready to move the hell out of that state.

Well, you're going to need the best help available. And that would be real estate agents I trust. Realestateagents.itrust.com. You don't have to worry about finding the right contractors to do the repair work, the right photographer, the right mortgage company, the right everybody that you're going to need to make this process run smooth. But hopefully it's going to be a profitable one. And it will be because real estate agents, I trust.com hooks you up with the best real estate agent in your area.

Right. They're going to pair you with an agent that knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer. Someone you can trust. Huh. Real estate agents I trust. The name pretty much says it all. Real estate agents. I trust.com.

So go there and get in touch with them and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about and they will get you through the process and make the outcome the best they can for you. Real estate agentsitrust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. All right. So I told you it wasn't going to last much longer.

There's no way. I mean, the DirecTV, the head of DirecTV said it was going to be an ongoing long process, but they made the deal this weekend. In fact, I think it was late Friday or early Saturday. The DirecTV Disney deal came down, came down, and it was a done deal. It was over. We're not going to be off of DirecTV any longer. So they made the deal. They released in their statement. We'd like to thank all the affected viewers for their patience, and we're pleased to restore Disney's entire portfolio and network.

in time for college football and the Emmys this weekend. The company said the distribution deal will include new options for customers, including new packages that include the Disney Plus Hulu and ESPN plus streaming services. Direct TV will also be available to distribute the forthcoming ESPN standalone streaming service at no extra cost to Direct TV customers. We appreciate our customers patience as we negotiated this challenging but vital agreement. Uh-huh. which now provides them more flexibility and choice within a seamless entertainment experience.

Uh-huh. Many distribution disputes can get ugly, but this one was particularly vicious. In fact, DirecTV filed a complaint with the FCC, alleging Disney wasn't negotiating in good faith. Huh, isn't that weird? But they finally broke down and bent the knee to Disney because the customers were like, hey, we would like the content that those channels are providing. And if you're not going to provide it, we'll go somewhere else. And they were going to other places.

And I did not know this. Apparently, DirecTV struck deals with Sling and Fubo to offer its customers' credits and discounts to sign up for competing streaming services so people could watch different, well, they said sporting events. They were talking about Monday Night Football. but there's also, you know, plenty of college football that was missed on that first weekend as well. And that's what made them sign the deal. I mean, I told you that last week.

There's no way that they are going to live through the hatred from customers. Like, we want to, we're here to watch this games. That's why we're here. And if you're not going to provide them for us, we're gone. So the deal was struck. And I'm sure all of you direct TV people are happy about that. And like it said in their statement, you were able to watch the Emmys. Oh, you didn't?

Okay, well, I'll tell you about the Emmys. last night. Every time I flipped over to the Emmys last night, it looked like the whole thing was just kind of boring. I could be wrong. I was going back and forth

between the football game and the Emmys. But it just look like the Emmys were just kind of boring. So the Bear ran away with a lot of the awards. Eid Moss Bacharach

as Richie won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. How they continue to call the Bear a comedy series, I do not know. But they do, and they get away with it, and they've won awards in the comedy section. Billy Cruttup as Corey Ellison on the Morning Show, won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a drama series, outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, Jeremy Allen White, from the bear,

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Alisa Kola Zias, as from the Bear, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana for the Crown, outstanding supporting actress in a drama series and outstanding lead actress in a comedy series Gene Smart in Hacks. And that actually is a comedy series on HBO Max. And it's very good. And Gene Smart definitely deserves that award. The show was awesome and she was awesome in it. This is what kills me about these shows.

Outstanding scripted variety series last week tonight with John Oliver. Okay, so it's like what? One night a week on HBO? And let's see. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten, eleven. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, at least 17 producers and executive producers, supervising producers, are part of this outstanding scripted variety series. One day a week?

Yeah, you should be able to pull that off. John. Wow. And then the Daily Show won the Outstanding Talk series, and there's at least 20 people on this list, too. Just incredible. And that's what? The Daily Show is not the Daily Show, is it? I mean, every day?

I don't, honestly, I don't know because I just saw, we'll get off the Emmys, I mean, congratulations to all the winners. And sorry that you, if you lost, you lost. I know it's sad. But we just found out that, I mean, the networks are cutting back on the late night shows because I wonder why they'd be cutting back on the network shows. Oh, I know. Because not a lot of people are watching these days. So, Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, is cutting to four nights a week. Four nights a week.

I read that and I thought, so he must be doing Monday through Thursday, I mean, he must be doing Tuesday through Friday and then just take that three-day weekend, right? And you could just promote the Friday, Saturday and Saturday, you just promote what you did Tuesday through Thursday. Nope. They're going to do Monday through Thursday and then Friday's going to be a repeat episode. I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that plan, but they didn't consult me.

So, you know, you do you, Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. Seth Myers lost his house band. I mean, who knew Seth had a house band? But I guess, you know, you have to watch the show. You'd know that. CBS acts James Gordon altogether. Yeah, he, that deal was long overdue to be gone. Stephen Colbert has lost 32% of his audience in five years.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Younger viewers, according to them, are ditching linear TV for YouTube clips and TikTok. networks are scrambling to justify costs with host moonlighting as award show emcees and corporate event darlings that's really funny some are even venturing into haunted houses we're looking at you Fallon oh my gosh is he doing like haunted houses

bits I'm good for him you do what you got to do and streaming platforms fumble to crack the late night code the industry is racing against the clock it's not quite time to cue the sad trombone I think it is, but late night's definitely singing a different tune these days. Yeah, they most definitely are. Not what's his face on Fox?

He's still doing great. Gutfield, Greg, Greg, Greg. Greg Gutfield, yeah, his show is doing awesome on Fox. And he's pulling double duty. He does the five and then he does the late show. So, I mean, he's got to be able to promote his late show on the five, which is driving numbers there as well. So, I mean, good for him.

I hope Greg is cashing in on that success. And as long as we look at TV, we might as well look at movies. Look at the top movies this weekend. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice was number one with $51.6 million on the domestic weekend. I lost down 50% though. 188 million domestic total now, 264.3 million global. Speak No Evil was number two, 11.5 million. Deadpool and Wolverine still hanging in there.

Number three with 5.2 million. I mean, they're well over a billion now, right? domestic total alone is $1.305 billion. And that's still just the seventh biggest. Wow. Okay. I mean, he's only seventh losers. Number four, I am I racist?

My man Matt Walsh, former Blaze and now with Daily Wire, his movie, 4.7 million domestic opening. I bet he didn't spend, I don't know what the budget was on Am I a Racist? Probably should talk, reach out to Matt and see if we can talk about how much they spent on it. I'll guarantee you it wasn't $4.75 million. Reagan, number five, $3 million domestic weekend, $23.3 million domestic total. Yeah, I've not heard great things about that, but, you know, could be wrong. The Killers game was number six, Alien Romulus, number seven.

It ends with us. Blake Lovie's movie, still hanging in there in eighth place, $2 million this week. She's got 325.5 million globally for that movie and the forge two million domestic weekend and God's not dead in God we trust 1.47 million for their domestic open. So those are your top 10 movies from the weekend. I guess I should finish up the Emmys because I didn't give Shogun their award. I mean they want 18 Emmys including best drama. It's an all time record for a single season of TV Shogun. And I must admit, I have not seen one episode of Shogun. I know. Dry your eyes. It's a surprise. Well, maybe that's not true.

I have seen partial episodes of it. But I have not sat down to start watching it. This will make me sit down and probably try to get through it. And Jody Foster, congratulations. You won for Best Actress in True Detective Night Country. Yeah, it's pretty good.

It was okay. I saw where maybe reindeer won vest. series and Heroku Sananat won the lead actor in a drama series for Shogun, so I and the bear 11 in a comedy outside why how is that a comedy I keep asking that question so they won 11 Emmys and I don't know how the bear is considered a comedy but it is oh my gosh I am so parched right now and I just realized we haven't even bed to the break room so let's get to the break room I need something to drink, but I'm sure you need something to drink as well, desperately.

So the stuff we've got happening this week that will be all over the news, we have the Rupert Murdoch Empire Succession Battle going on. I know. It's a closed-door trial over one of the worlds, I mean, he's one of the most powerful media empires around, just in Nevada. and Rupert, the old man, wants to cut out three of his children because he wants Lackland to run Fox. And he wants Lachlan to run the rest of the company as well.

And the other kids, James, Elizabeth, and Prudence are like, hey, we want to just keep that trust the way it is. We'd like to have equal voting shares as well, please. And Rupert's like, yeah, no, I just want him. I mean, I love all my children, but yeah, I just want to Lackland to run the joint, okay? Not you. So the Murdoch Media Empire valued in roughly $34 billion, has been, you know, conservative media pillar for many years. Fox News being the most watched cable news network in recent years.

The outcome of the legal clash could have significant consequences of the future of the cable news. Yeah, newspaper, sports media, streaming because the root of the Murdoch family's feud lies in political divisions. Lachlan, who stepped up, I think it's Lachlan, L-A-C-H-L-A-N, maybe they just call them Locke, has stepped up as chairman

of the Fox Corporation and News Corporation last year. He aligns closely with his father's conservative political views, which I would say is not as political as his father, but okay, closely you want to use that word? Sure, go ahead. his siblings leaned more moderate. Oh, yeah, I bet.

So, I mean, James criticized the outlet because of the January 6th debacle. Wow. And so Rupert is like, yeah, no, I want these three kids out. And I know it's a trust. And we're going to go ahead and change this trust. And I'm Rupert Murdoch. I'm 92 of sound-minded body. And I've decided I'm going to change this trust.

up because yeah you guys can have a couple of bucks but you're not running anything okay i don't like the way you would run things oh okay then we have arguments today for the banning of tic-tok the department of justice is ready to prove that the social media platform uh that once had people making nyQuil chicken is a threat to national security and must divest that's a cute little line from this from this uh news report but uh we'll see we'll see what happens if they're going to actually banned TikTok. I don't think so. Then we have a public hearing in the loss of Ocean Gates Titan submersible. We're doing that still. We'll be convened by the U.S. Coast Guard today. Are we seriously? We're doing the Ocean Gate Titan submersible all over again? Okay, whatever. At the same time,

speaking of submersibles, I see where the U.S. Navy has unveiled the first gender-integrated submarine. I mean, it's down periscope. the Kelsey Grammer movie, Down Periscope in real life, is happening to our U.S. Navy. It's amazing times. Did I mention that? Incredible times. And then, of course, did I mention that our president had another assassination attempt on him made this weekend? Yeah, I know.

And they got the guy. He was set up outside the golf course down there in Florida. And if one citizen had not taken a picture of the guy's license plate and told the cops, hey, this is the kind of car he was driving, he would be gone, and no one would know who he was. He was set up at the golf course with his rifle and his bulletproof backpacks blocking so that he figured he would get into a firefight.

Don't worry about it, because the Secret Service can't hit anything, apparently, because they fired shots at him, and they missed. And so we have that going on. Just another assassination attempt. That's all. Don't worry about it, though. Everyone's fine.

Well, we don't know that. this man who they claim actually is the assassin or attempted assassin is fine, but just another attempt on a former president and leading candidate for president of the United States life. I'm sure many of you, like me, have questions, like how could that happen at the golf course that our president is playing golf at? I'm sorry, our former president and leading candidate for president of the United States is playing golf at.

This is the second time in short period. time that there's been an attempt on the president's life. So the Secret Services, man, they are top of their game, on top of their game, looking really, really well in front of the world. Am I right? Of course I am. So that's just a few of the things that are going on in the world, specifically the United States of America.

Who died today?

Who died today? Well, let's begin with Tito Jackson. Tito Jackson. Yes, the brother to Michael, the member of the iconic Jackson 5, dead at the age of 70 years old. Apparently, Tito was driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Doesn't say why.

And he had a heart attack, and then he died. So the cause of death apparently has not been determined. we just know he was driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma and had a heart attack and died. At least that's what they is being. That's what they're being reported. So Tito Jackson, I mean, he was part of the big deal, man. He was the guy. So very sad that we lost another another of the Jackson 5, Tito Jackson, dead at the age of 70.

then we have Ineah Ghalm Yipchik dead at the age of 36 He uh if you don't know who Ghalemich is he's well he's an influencer is really what he is I mean he's a fitness guy but he never really

he never really performed professionally except on his Instagram account which he had I think three 400,000 followers on Instagram and I don't know what he had on YouTube but he was a you know he's an influencer and he uh he shared his daily routines and he you know his he had uh he bench 600 pounds and 700 pound dead lifts and then he talked about him eating on his

Instagram he's he uh his daily diet was 16,500 calories which you know okay I get that and uh he would have two 0.5 kilograms, oh, that's 88 ounces for those of you that don't know kilograms of steak, 108 pieces of sushi. At the time of his death, his chest measured 61 inches and his biceps 25 inches. So there was no, we don't know what caused him to actually die, but we know that his wife performed CPR until emergency services arrived, and he was subsequently transported by helicopter to a

clinic and then he was pronounced dead two days later so they they kept him alive at least apparently they did and he you know he went by the nicknames the mutant and the 340 pounds beast so it's very sad uh yfmanchik dead at the age of 36 then we have macaela de prince she is dead at the age of 29. Very sad. She is a, I mean, she's a ballerina. We learned on dancing with the star. She's been in Beyonce videos.

She's written books. She's authored. She was adopted coming from Sierra Leone. And, you know, she became a star. And no cause of death was given. So rest in peace to Michaela de Prince. Now, the sadder thing, really, about, Kayla de Prince's death is that her mother died within 24 hours of her.

So they got the news that she passed away and then her mother was supposed to be having an operation and she was going in for some prep work prior to the operation on September 11th. And she passed away. Now, she was 77 and apparently had other issues that she was dealing with. but she adopted many kids and adopted Michaela from Sierra Leone and, you know, provided a great upbringing that allowed her to succeed in the greatest country on the planet, United States of America. Well, I shouldn't say that.

I'll just say better than Sierra Leone. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Sierra Leone, but I'm going to go ahead and go out on a limb and say the United States, yes, is a better place than Sierra Leone. But rest and peace. to Elaine de Prince, dead at the age of 77, and rest in peace to the daughter, Michaela de Prince,

dead at the age of 29. Very sad. Her family is, I'm sure, just devastated by all the news. The family said that in lieu of flowers, you could give donations to War Child, which was an organization that Michaela DePrens, worked with closely. So if you'd like to, you know, pay homage to Michaela, you can donate to War Child.

I ventured out to find the cookie or biscuit as they

are called. Alas, I found them purchased them at Target. The packaging is neat. Open them up and behold the deliciousness I saw. The cookie biscuit is colored. What I assume Coke would be colored if it were

a solid. The cream was white and with that Coke tint. I may have been overwhelmed, but they did not skimp on cream. I first, the first one I ate like any man would one bite. It tasted good like a Coke dessert, but I needed to get into the nitty gritty and take these puppies apart. The cookie or biscuit is good, nothing extraordinary. It is good, nothing extraordinary. It is good, nothing but. Heated tight butt. I believe all the taste is in the cream, where a mixture of the Oreo filling and artificial Coke Zero are combined to arouse your taste buds. I'd give this CTF taste test an eight point

five out of ten. They are delicious and I highly recommend them to all CTF listeners and our well, great host, Jeffrey Well, thank you very much. Jesse. I appreciate it. I appreciate you going out of your way to give us a review on the Coke Zero

Oreo mashup. We appreciate it. This email coming from listener, this one under the heading getting to know your host. My first question for you is your time in Tampa, did you ever run into Hulk Hogan or any of his wrestling buddies? And how were they?

I talked about this before. I don't know where you been. Yeah, Hulk. I used to run into Hulk Hogan all the time because his kids went to the same school as my son did for about a year. So in that year's time, I saw Hulk, I mean, at least, I don't know, two or three times a week because his son was playing football at the school. And so was my son. And so we would both be at practice every day. And, you know, so that's correct.

I even went to the practices. So I'm there. And so did, so was Hulk. And my favorite story about Hulk during those days is he was still wrestling. And so he would show up after a wrestling bout. And he would be so sore and barely moving and come over and sit down. And we'd watch practice. And he's just like, oh, I'm getting too old for this.

It's funny. And then they moved out because they started his reality show. And then all hell broke loose in the Hulk Hogan world. Because once that reality show started, the family kind of fell apart. Very sad. Then I get this email from Paul. Apparently, I'm in trouble again.

I've been, according to Paul, I've been listening for years. Thank you. And I've held my tongue till now. Since one of your performances on Pat Gray last week, I've soaked my pillow with tears from wrestling the Lord for direction. exhausted and weak from fasting, I decided I've finally had enough.

Jeffie's disdain for the UP of Michigan has to stop, so I'm firing back. So it was just a, you know, just a little passing comment on Pat Gray on least last week. When I said, nobody likes the Uper's, and Pat said, do they know that? And I said, oh yeah, they know it. you do if you're an honest of goodness yupor you know that uh you know we you're part of michigan but you know not really so uh according to according to paul uh we don't bother with these yupers uh the rough rednecks of the north not part of michigan a wisconsin can have them a well what lives below the bridges is trolls fat ugly trolls that's who

Oh, so now we're down in the mitten and we're trolls. You call it a state park and charge us $25 to hike our own trails. What? Call it a state road and let it go to crap. This is in Detroit. We let you come up to hunt. Every so often you shoot each other. Well, I thought I saw horns, you say.

It's called a buck, take an aspirin. You vote in taxes and politicians like Whitmer, which he titles her Witchmer, which may be under-educated, but we do have some. sense. Maybe it's up here who don't need you down there. Think about it. Signed Jeffie's trollmonger. Oh, well, you know,

I probably should say I'm sorry, but you know, it doesn't matter. I mean, I've known several people who are actual Upers and well, I'll just leave it at that.

Thanks for listening, though. Paul, and, you know, I'm here for you here on Chewing the Fat. So, you know, have a good day. And then I got the joke of the day from a listener, John at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Joke of the day. Let's get out of here. He said in his email, the story about Haitians eating dogs in Springfield reminded me of an old joke.

Yeah, I mean, are they eating dogs and cats? Are they eating dogs? I just saw a story earlier today where the guy that was at the, city council meeting that started at all with they were, you know, they were killing the ducks. He's saying, no, I don't know if that's true. I don't know what's happening in Springfield. Who knows? Are they eating the dogs?

Are they eating the dogs? Are they eating the cats? I don't know. I mean, I feel like the answer to that is yes, because we're getting so inundated with nose that it makes me believe that it's actually happening. But I don't know. Anyway, the joke from John comes because he was. reminded by the stories about Haitians eating dogs in Springfield,

an immigrant in California was caught on the beach cooking and eating a seagull. One of the cops, after arresting him, asked what it tasted like. And the immigrant said, sort of like a spotted owl and a bald eagle. See, what do you say it is? Now, you get it.
