When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering,
could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list?
Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
It's just $39.99? How could I resist?
This luxurious will throw for my sister.
This gold watch for my partner?
A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?
Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners?
Stop wondering. Start gifting.
Winners. Find Fabulous for less.
Blaze Radio Network
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
So I was just looking at a list of the top 10 sweatiest cities in the U.S.
And I don't know, I mean, I agree with a couple of them.
A couple of one place on the list, or the one place isn't on the list that should be.
So number 10 is Orlando, definitely Orlando.
Number nine is Houston, yes.
Houston is definitely one of the sweatiest cities in America.
But right in there with Houston and Orlando is Tampa.
It should be Tampa.
I know we get the breeze coming off the Gulf and coming off Tampa Bay.
But the humidity really slaps you in the face there.
West Palm Beach, number eight.
Denver, I wouldn't think of Denver as being the sweatiest city.
In seventh place, Baltimore, the sixth sweetiest city in America.
According to this new survey by Thumbtack, and Thumbtack, I guess, went into data from millions of projects for people repairing their AC units and installing fans and portable AC units this year.
So this is where the list came from.
So Baltimore was 6. Charlotte 5th.
Yeah, I guess so.
Dallas Fort Worth.
Yes, definitely.
I'm a sweater and it is, wouldn't you like to be a sweater too.
And Washington, D.C., okay, if you say so.
Atlanta, Georgia.
Okay.
If you, again, if you say so,
at number one, sweatiest city in America,
according to the new Thumbtack survey,
or data
accumulation.
Austin, Texas
as the sweatiest city in America.
So congratulations.
I have lived in,
well,
I only lived in Dallas.
I never lived in,
I never technically lived in Orlando.
I never technically lived in Houston or West Palm.
Austin,
I've been down there a bunch.
I've been in all these cities.
But congratulations.
to the number one sweatiest city in the United States, Austin, Texas.
It's all you, baby.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
So today is the day.
If you're listening live, today is the 17th of July, 24.
And we find out how much the apex, the most complete stegosaurus ever discovered,
measuring 11 feet tall and approximately 27 feet long.
from the tip of its tail to its nose is going to sell for.
Now, they claim that they were hoping for it to go for like $4 to $6 million.
But I was looking at other auctions, and the T-Rex Stan garnered $31.8 million in 2020.
T-Rex Sue last sold in 1997 to Chicago's Field Museum,
and they bought that for $8.4 million.
So that $4 to $6 million for Apex probably going to be chump change.
I really want that bad.
If you'd like to buy that for me, that'd be great.
But we'll find out today how much it goes for.
And I'll post it as soon as I find out of my X account at Jeffrey JFR on X.
We also have a, we have a bunker going up for sale in the UK.
It's a bunker in the middle of the UK
described as a once-in-a-generation opportunity
to survive WW3.
It's heading for auction today,
complete with its own car parking.
They claim it's going to take 20,000 euros through this.
That doesn't seem bad.
It's located in Sedberg, Cumbria, UK,
which is right there.
I mean, you know where it's beautiful this time of year.
The nuclear option is a rare opportunity
to buy a piece of Cold War British history.
It is being auctioned off by the National Property Auction today, no, the 25th of this month.
And so we'll get an opportunity here in a few days to find out exactly what it auctions off for.
Registration for bidding will close at 5 p.m. the day before the auction.
So at 5 p.m. on July 24th, if you want to bid for the auction, you've got to register with this National Property Auction Company Auction company.
if you want to go for the nuclear bunker in the UK.
Now, it looks nice.
And apparently it's redecorated, clean, dry, secure,
comes with a plot of land with gate for access
and secure off-road parking.
Kind of sweet to have your own little bunker,
although, you know, it's in the middle of nowhere.
So most of the bunkers were auctioned off a few years ago
and they were purchased by cell phone companies
so that they could put up cell towers.
and I guess if you have access to those cell towers,
you now have access to a bunker as well.
But they were sold off, you know, a long time ago.
They were made, I guess, this actual bunkers were made in the 50s
and designed to provide protective accommodation for three observers
to report on the fallout of the nuclear attack.
Am I saying that right, nuclear?
I always get in trouble for saying nuclear wrong.
I mean, I want to say it right.
Nuclear.
Nuclear.
See, I think I put a nuclear, nuclear, it's not, it's nuclear.
Nuclear, I got to say that.
I never say it right.
I always say nuclear.
And it's not nuclear.
It's nuclear.
Right?
It's not nuclear.
It's nuclear.
Yeah, that's what I said.
So, anyway, if I say it wrong, sorry.
That's just the way I.
say it. So anyway, you have an opportunity to get this. It would be kind of cool to have your own little
bunker. I don't know if you could get to it in time, but it'd be cool to have it and you could go there
and throw, you know, bunker parties and, you know, it would be fun. You probably have, you know,
I don't know, 10 minutes to get there to be safe if you're actually going to use it for a bunker
to save yourself from nuclear winter. Probably not enough food to last. The
that amount of time.
But hey, you can give it a shot.
And for 20,000 euros, that seems like a, that seems like a bargain.
Now, if you're going to get a bunker, or you already have a bunker,
or even if you're not going to get a bunker, but you want to be prepared,
you need yourself a Jace case.
According to the University of Utah's Drug Information Service,
there were 323 total active drug shortages in the first quarter of this year.

It's the matcha or the three ensemble Coddosephora of the fact that I just
been to denishy who energize all the time?
It's the ensemble.
The form of standard and mini-regrouped.
Hello, Ben.
And the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre to donate.
And I know that I'd ever be offered.
But I guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez.
I'm just a good ensemble, a gift of the ftesseys
at Shifora.
Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, Cifora collection, and other part of
the vite.
Procurre you, Corma, minis, regrouped for a better quality of price.
On link, cifora.a or in magazine.
Okay, I can't stop thinking about auctions.
I see where the Babe Ruth jersey is going up for auction.
There was a post because it was here in Arlington
for, you know, they had the home run derby and the All-Star game and they had it on display.
Babe Ruth's 1932 called shot World Series jersey.
And they expect it to sell next month for $30 million.
That's the jersey that he wore during game three of the 1932 World Series.
It's going to go up for auction next month.
and they're obviously, it's going to go for $30 million or more, and it probably will.
It's amazing.
It's been photo match and authenticated.
The called shot jersey, which bears Roos number three, was one of baseball's most famous and often debated moments.
The babe stepped to the plate in the fifth inning of Game 3 in 1932 World Series to face Chicago Cubs pitcher Charlie Root when the score was tied.
between the Cubs and the Yankees.
The slugger failed to hit the ball, not once but twice.
In between strikes, Ruth pointed to centerfield bleachers.
Whether he was calling out a shot or pointing at the pitcher
or just gesturing to the stands is still debated.
It was not debated because Babe said that's what he did.
Whether he lied about that or not, it's the truth now.
So the next pitch, he sent the ball 440 feet to the section he had indicated.
And the Yankees went on to win the game.
and then they went on to win the series as well.
Now, he said in a Slugger's
1998 book, The Babe Ruth story,
he said he pointed towards centerfield bleachers
before a route through his first pitch
and again on his third.
The smart thing for Charlie to have done
on his third pitch would have been to waste one,
but he didn't.
And for that, I've sometimes thanked God.
While he's making up his mind to pitch to me,
I stepped back again and pointed my finger at those bleachers,
which only caused the mob to howl
that much more at me.
Root threw me a fastball.
If I'd let it go, it would have been called a strike.
But this was it.
I swung from the ground with everything I had,
and as I hit the ball, every muscle in my system,
every sense I had told me that I had never hit a better one,
that as long as I lived,
nothing would ever feel as good as this.
Ha!
That is awesome.
The shot.
That would be nice.
I don't know.
I'd rather have the apex, a dinosaur.
collection. But if someone wanted to, you know, just mail me the, you know, go ahead and get the
babe, the shot jersey and, you know, mail it to me. That would be great. But whoever gets it,
good for you, man. Good for you. I see where, I'll get off auctions now. Stop thinking about
spending other people's money and money I don't have. I see where J.D. Vance, the senator from the
state of Ohio, who is now the presidential,
a vice presidential nominee, along with Donald Trump,
who is the Republican presidential nominee,
or will be as of tonight officially.
He is also, you know, the guy who wrote Hillbilly Elegy.
And of course, when he was nominated for,
nominated to be the vice president,
when Trump picked him,
apparently everybody wanted to watch it on Netflix.
And since it was Amazon,
Prime Day. His book became number one on Amazon. No question. Everybody wanted to read the book as well.
So good for JD for doing that. Now, I will say this is another example of Netflix saying that it soared into their top 10 list.
If I'm Netflix, don't I just make that go into the top 10 to get people to watch it?
I don't. Oh, okay, never mind. You can follow me on my social media account at Jeffie J.

JFR on cameo and you go through the pimp and you order and you tell me what you want,
happy, glad, sad, mad, mean, and then I do it and everybody gets to cut and everybody's happy.
Also, speaking of X and at Jeffrey J.FR, Elon is packing up and moving out of California.
He's taking SpaceX and X out of California.
Have a nice day.
They're coming to Texas.
Now, he filed to make the moves in response to Governor Gavin Newsom's signing a new law that bars school districts in the state from requiring parents to be notified of a child's gender identification change.
And Newsom signed the student transgender law on Monday.
And Elon posted, this is the final straw because of this law and the many others that preceded attacking both families and companies.
SpaceX will now move his headquarters
from Hawthorne, California
to Star Base, Texas.
And then after that, he said,
you know what?
Ax is coming to.
I've had just about enough.
I'm not even leaving X in San Francisco.
I'm taking it all.
I'm picking up my toys
and bringing them to Texas.
So that's good news if you're Texas
and not so good news if you're California.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink.
desperately.
So our girl,
Ingrid Andrus, who sang the national anthem
at the home run derby the other night,
who was just terrible,
and we played that for you.
She announced after this show was over yesterday
that she is going into rehab.
She said she was drunk,
and she posted on all her social media sites,
that she was drunk and she was sorry
and that she was going to check herself into rehab.
Okay, good for you.
I was looking at her Instagram account,
and she's got like 331,000 followers seven posts.
She's posted only seven times on Instagram,
which is kind of strange in today's world.
But it says four-time Grammy losing singer-songwriter,
recovering homeschooler.
So she's going to check herself into rehab.
I will say that that's more than just drinking.
All right, we talked about it yesterday.
Whatever the cocktail was between the edibles and the booze and whatever else she took,
she timed it wrong.
And maybe she timed it wrong because she's a drunk and she just started drinking
and forgot when she took the other cocktails.
So it didn't work out.
But, you know, I hope it works out for it.
Good luck.
I hope it takes.
Rehab is not fun if you're going, if you're doing it, you know, to actually
clean yourself up
and just remember, Ingrid,
that don't be
getting the Trader Joe's
savory everything but
the bagel seasoning mix
because everybody likes it here
in the U.S. but some countries don't even allow
it.
There's stuff that you can't bring into
other countries and the poppy seeds
in the
Trader Joe's everything
but the bagel seasoning mix
has that in there and you could tell us
Positive with a drug test. Yeah, you can.
Actually, my first wife tested positive from a bagel that had poppy seeds on it.
And, you know, they obviously, when they tested her and it came back that,
you've got, it looks like heroin in your system, you know, which was ridiculous for her.
And everyone knew it.
So, you know, they gave you the test again.
And she admitted to having the bagels.
we put her under the lights.
And she admitted to having bagels
with poppy seeds on it.
Bastards.
And South Korea,
other countries don't want to have it.
South Korea is one big country
that most definitely doesn't want to have it.
They're considered a narcotic
in South Korea.
I said South Africa. South Korea.
The poppy seeds are banned
because they are considered a narcotic.
So if you're going to go to
South Korea.
Don't be carrying the everything but the bagel seasoning mix from Trader Joe's.
They might handcuff you and lock you down.
Plus, did you see there was a defection from North Korea?
Hash where was that?
It was down in Cuba.
He was a senior North Korean diplomat stationed in Cuba,
defected to South Korea.
Seoul's National Intelligence Service confirmed this.
He defected in November, we're just finding out about it.
Now, with his family, believed to be the highest-ranking North Korean diplomat to escape South Korea since 2016.
He's a 52-year-old counselor.
He was responsible for political affairs at the North Korean embassy in Cuba.
And he reportedly involved preventing Cuba from establishing diplomatic ties with South Korea.
he defected before the two formalized relations.
He said that his decision to defect stem partially from disappointment with North Korea's leadership.
You think, really?
And we also realized that we're going to get more balloons.
We're going to get more poop balloons from North Korea because the two Koreas are unhappy with each other big time.
And this could be one of the reasons.
You know, they've got people defecting.
And Kim is, Kim, he's a little mad.
So he's going to send poop balloons.
Since the Korean War, they claim 34,000 North Koreans have defected to South Korea.
Wow.
I mean, that seems like it would be more than that.
Maybe they just can't get out.
So be ready if you're in South Korea.
Keep your head up for poop balloons.
Yeah, I am not caught up on House of the Jones.
Dragon yet. I've been watching it. It's been kind of a slow-moving thing for me, so I'm not excited
about getting back to it, but I'm watching them and I'm getting through it. But I just
read a big review about season two, episode five, and they've gone too far. People are saying
the show's gone too far. Has it? So apparently in season two, episode five, I'm kind of looking
forward to it, actually. Prince Damon continues his stay in the castle of Heronall,
which is said to be cursed.
And after a spooky encounter with a castle resident,
Damon begins to have various hallucinations,
including seeing Rania sewing a child he arranged to have murdered,
head back onto his body,
and killing another version of Rihanna
after she mocks him for becoming heir to the Iron Throne.
Okay, big deal.
Apparently, in this latest episode,
he dreams that he's having sex
with a mysterious Targaryan woman who is speaking to him about how he should have been king.
In the final modes of the scene, she refers to him as her favorite son,
meaning he had been dreaming about his mother who died when he was aged two.
You were always the strong one, the finest swordsman, the fearless dragon rider.
Your brother had great love in his heart, but he lacked your constitution.
Okay, so it's a dream that he's having,
and he's a dream because he's having hallucinations from some witch at the castle,
and the dream is him having sex with his mother.
That's too far for House of the Dragon?
I don't think so.
Man, that does not sound like something that's too far.
But, hey, that's fine.
You know, if it's something that bugs you, go ahead.
But I'll let you know exactly if I think they've gone.
gone too far. I'll try to catch it today so that I'll get caught up on the House of Dragon.
But I feel like that is not too far for the show. That is not too far.

details. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with a former NBA player Joe
Jelly Bean Bryant, also the father of Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant, has passed away.
at the age of 69.
Now, the official cause,
don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
The official cause of his death was not announced,
but LaSalle University,
where Brian played and coach,
said in a statement that he will be dearly missed,
and apparently one of his long-time friends
said that Brian had recently suffered a massive stroke.
So, see, it was a stroke.
There's no way that that could have caused a stroke.
Am I right?
Of course I am.
So rest in peace,
rest in peace, Joe Jellybean Bryant,
dead at the age of 69.
Then we have Evan Wright.
Evan Wright, journalist and generation kill author,
dies at the age of 59.
I know what you're thinking, but no, he struggled with mental health,
and he died by suicide, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
Very, very sad.
His death was also confirmed to Rolling Stone by his widow.
Well, I bet you that was a fun call.
So he was an award-winning journalist and the author behind Generation Kill.
He was a U.S. Marine Corps, first recon battalion during the early stages.
of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
He used his experience to pen a series of articles for Rolling Stone
titled The Killer Elite,
which earned him a 2004 National Magazine Award for Excellence.
And then his reporting became the basis of his book, Generation Kill,
which was then adapted into a seven-part mini-series.
It's just sad that he was still struggling with everything
and couldn't work it out.
Wow, just couldn't work it out.
So if you, seriously, rest in peace,
to Evan Wright, who is dead at the age of 59.
But if you or someone you love struggling with whatever mental health issues,
and you think that it's going to be better off,
you think that we are going to be better off without you on the planet,
you're wrong.
So dial 988.
I know you heard me.
You're wrong.
We're not going to be better off with you gone,
no matter what your brain is telling you.
So dial 988, the Lifeline chat,
and that will connect you with crisis counselors
for emotional support,
and hopefully will get you through it
because, man, suicide is not fun.
And you can quote me on that.
I know that the people who commit suicide
feel like the world will be a better place
without them in it, and they're wrong.
Wow, did you see the mirror?
Miracle baby.
The one-year-old miracle baby survived two days in a ditch
along a Louisiana highway.
Wow.
That was a few miles from where his four-year-old brother, very sad.
His brother was dead.
Very sad.
The children's mother was arrested at a train station in Mississippi trying to get out of town.
So sad.
Louisiana,
where authorities are authorities.
Louisiana were alerted Monday afternoon that a body had been found in the water behind this
Vinton Welcome Center, a rest stop in, I can't say the name.
I will not say that name properly.
C-A-L-C-A-S-I-E-U perish.
So go ahead.
Calcashu.
Calcashu Parish.
Calcashu Parish.
C-A-L-C-A-S-I-E-U-U.
Calcashoe.
Parish.
Calcasieu. Parish.
The body was identified as that of a four-year-old child.
The cause of death wasn't confirmed, although deputies sent out immediate release seeking help identifying the child.
A person contacted the sheriff's office reporting and said, hey, I haven't seen my family members believing the child could be a relative.
And they also said, hey, there was the four-year-old and the one-year-old brother.
And so they didn't release the children's name.
then a little while later
you know like I don't know
the next day
two days later actually
there was a truck
girl that went by and said
hey that looked like a baby crawling
crawling in the ditch
and it was
it was a few miles from where
his brother's body was found
and he looked
it was a miracle baby because he was still alive
he spent two days out in the weather
on the side of the highway
and he had a few insect bites, but he was in good spirits.
He was taken to the hospital for evaluation and will be placed in custody of child protective services.
Yes, somebody special needs to get that child because that child is special.
Amazing.
Now, what happens to the parents?
I don't know.
But I believe that the mom is already in jail and there's going to be an issue.
Yeah, it's called, what's the issue?
Oh, yeah, murder.
Oh, and as long as we're talking about death, the death of Richard Simmons,
we're in the death segment.
Okay.
The death of Richard Simmons is under investigation pending a cause of death
from the medical examiner.
Two days after the icon was found dead at his L.A. home,
we are still waiting for a complete cause of death
from the Los Angeles Police Department's medical examiner.
He died on Saturday.
We were awaiting the final cause.
and we don't know.
They say that it could take up to six weeks to receive test results.
Six weeks? Come on now.
Pick up the pace a little bit.
What else you got going on over there at the coroner's office
and the medical examiner's office in Los Angeles?
This is Richard Simmons.
Pick up the pace.
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.
All right, so I bit the bullet and bought the book yesterday.
It was prime day.
I expected to pay a lot less.
And after I ordered it, my wife was like,
why didn't you just go to half-price books?
Well, that's because I would have had to leave.
I would have to leave my home.
And I didn't want to leave.
I wanted to click buy and have it delivered to my home.
I mean, that's not very difficult to understand.
Anyway, it's the Margaret Leida Fox's new book.
The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum,
the rise in the fall of an American organized crime.
crime boss. It's how a Jewish-German woman in New York became America's first major crime boss in
1859. So I guess this Frederica Mendelbaum fenced stolen property and orchestrated complicated
jewel heist and bank robberies, I am looking forward to this book. Marguerlea Fox is the author.
She writes for the New York Times too. And so, I mean, I reached out and I sent an email.
She'd talk to me, but I doubt it.
So we may be, it may be a special involved, a special Chewing the Fat episode,
because I am looking forward to reading this book about Frederica Mandelbaum,
the organized crime boss, who, I mean, she was in cartoons at the time.
I mean, they knew who she was.
She was a big time crime boss at the time.
So I'm really kind of looking forward to reading the story.
Between 1859 and 1884, Mandelbaum ran and grew her fencing operation.
from an unassuming storefront.
It was the gilded age, a time when emergent middle and professional classes
were willing to turn a blind eye to the origins of coveted luxury items.
So she is the one that was taking all the rich people's stuff
and selling them on the black market.
I like it.
I like it.
I can't wait to actually read this stupid book.
Oh, no.
this is actually sad.
The impacts of human-caused climate change are so overwhelming.
They're actually messing with time.
I know.
I know.
This is according to new research.
Polar ice melt caused by global warming is changing the speed of Earth's rotation and increasing
the length of the day.
I feel like we did talk about this.
But according to this new study now, in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
the changes are so small a matter of milliseconds a day.
But in our high-tech, hyper-connected world, that means a lot and has an impact on a lot of things.
Computing systems have come to rely on GPS.
So it's yet another sign of the huge impact humans are having on the planet.
Yes, this is a testimony to the gravity of ongoing.
climate change. It sure is
geophysicist at NASA's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Okay.
I guess he's one of the report
authors. The number of hours, minutes, and seconds
making up each day on Earth are dictated
by the speed of the Earth's rotation, which
is influenced by a complex not of
factors. These include processes
in the planet's fluid
core. So the ongoing impact
of the melting of the huge glaciers
after the last ice age,
as well as melting polar ice.
due to climate change.
Okay.
So,
melting,
which is changing time.
In the past,
the impact of climate change
on time has not been so dramatic.
Okay.
But that could be changing
if the world continues to pump out
planet heating pollution.
So can we stop it?
I mean, it works like this.
Okay, let's hear how it works.
As humans warm the world,
Glaciers and ice sheets are melting, and that melt water is flowing from the poles toward the equator.
This changes the planet's shape, flattening it at the poles and making it bulge more in the middle, slowing its rotation.
How many times you've been told that?
The process is often compared to a spinning ice skater.
Yeah, I mean, when the skater pulls their arms towards their body, you spin faster.
but if they move their arms outwards away from their body, they spin slows down.
So the team of international scientists looked at a 200-year period between 1900 and 2,100,
using observational data and climate models to understand how climate change has affected day length in the past
and to project its role in the future.
So how much is a changing climate change-fueled sea level rise
caused the length of the day to vary between 0.3 and 1.1.1.000.
milliseconds in the 20th century.
Yes, we talked about that.
Over the past two decades, however,
the scientists calculated an increase in day length
of 1.33 milliseconds per century.
I feel like we've talked about that too.
That, according to them, is significantly higher
than at any time in the 20th century.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
So what could happen if we don't change our ways
is that if the world is unable to rain in emissions,
climate change could increase the length of a day by 2.62 milliseconds by the end of the century.
Oh, no.
In barely 200 years, we will have altered the Earth climate system so much that we are witnessing its impact of the very way Earth spins.
milliseconds of additional time a day may be imperceptible to humans, but it has an impact on
everything else.
Does it?
Okay.
I mean, you know, yeah, I got GPS, computers, timekeeping, atomic time.
I got it.
I got it.
But do I think, I'm just going to stop there.
Just know that we need to do something about it because we could, in, I don't.
don't know. A couple hundred years, we may be spinning 2.62 milliseconds faster. And, man, you couldn't
be able, you couldn't even stand up. You get dizzy. You're going to get dizzy. You know how you
spin real hard on the ground? That's what's going to happen. You're going to stand up and you're
just going to just going to get dizzy. More news from NASA. No, the Starliner is still stuck at
ISS. No, they're not coming home yet. NASA administrator Bill Nelson, former senator from the
great state of Florida. He was a nightmare, but you know, whatever. He's in charge of NASA now.
He and CEO of the Saudi Space Agency, Mohamed bin Saad al-Tamimi, signed a big deal, a new space
framework to increase cooperation between the two countries on civilian space exploration and
research. Yay! So the agreement was titled Framework Agreement between the government of the United
States of America and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on cooperation in aeronautics
and the exploration and use of airspace and outer space for peaceful purposes.
That was the title. That's a hell of a title for an agreement. I'll tell you that.
will establish a legal framework to facilitate and strengthen collaboration between the two countries.
Apparently, this is a turning point in the kingdom's journey toward building a strong and prosperous space sector.
So we've got that going for us.
We've got that going for us, especially when we have this agreement signed titled Framework Agreement between the government of the United States of America
and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on cooperation and aeronautics.
the exploration and use of airspace and outer space for peaceful purposes.
That's a good deal.
All right, I'm going to get out here.
I had a long enough day.
I did Pat on Lease this morning, did a chewing segment on Pat on Least,
and I walked down the hall and did Glenbeck Radio with Stu today.
And then I came back down here and recorded chewing the fat for you.
I mean, I work this tongue to the bone for you.
So, I mean, you're welcome.
I'll leave you with the joke of the day as I was in the middle,
of doing the radio show with Stu.
This came across one of my social media feeds,
and I don't know why I chuckled at it,
but it made me laugh.
So if it made me laugh, you know,
then it's going to make you laugh.
So Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd break into a distillery.
Daffy turns to Elmer and says,
is this whiskey?
And Elmer says, yeah, but not as whiskey as wobbing a bank.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
See, because that's the way Elmar, you know the characters.
