into South Korea's airspace. So we actually have poop balloons. All I can think of is 99 poop balloons over the weekend. North Korea is still claiming that this is response to decades of

political leaflets from South Korea. Remember, they sent balloons into North Korea, South Korea, that is, carrying food, medicine, anti-Pyeongyang pamphlets, USBs with K-pop music. That's enough to shut the whole country down right there. So we'll see. And shows with videos on them.

So South Korea's government banned the practice in 2020, did they? Though the law was overturned last year, uh-huh, in response to North Korea. Korea, in response to North Korea sending more than 800 balloons, carrying trash and excrement. Now, in the first of the story, you know, I was thinking that it was actual, you know, poop in the balloons. But it's just balloons carrying the bags of trash. So it's not as, not as bad as actual poop in the balloons. But it's close.

It's close. So, South Korea has now direct. directed the military to collect and inspect the balloons, which they say were recovered in eight out of nine of its provinces. And we'll see if this actually escalates to anything else other than the Battle of Poop balloons between the Koreans. There was due to feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad. Right. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. More international news. Mexican voters are, I guess the results are kind of semi-final, but they believe that they have a new president. The leading candidate in Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum of the Shinebomb family. When you think of Mexico, you think of the Shinebombs. The ruling Morena Party and the opposition candidate, another woman as well.

so Manuel Lopez Obrador Shineman What no no Shinebon is This is written This is written weird

Because Obador is the president now He's getting kicked out Manuel Lopez Orbador Shinebomb I was thinking that was his last name They're all shine bombs Oh my gosh

No that's not true Lopez Manuel Lopez Obador, new shine bomb from being the Mexico City mayor, and she's a big time climate change person, so we'll have more fun with that. But don't forget that if you're running for office in Mexico, I would duck because it's, I mean, there is, it's not even funny. That's happened, I mean, more than 20 local candidates have been killed since September in the lead-up

to the elections. So if you're thinking about running for office in Mexico, yeah, you're going to be hearing a lot of that. And we just saw the video last week of the mayor. I just walked up behind him. It's just incredible. Horrible. I mean, it was just, it was incredible video, horrible,

that the guy died. But that's what happens when you run for office in Mexico, man. Are you running for office? No, I'm not. No, I don't think so. I think I'll just let it go for a little while. I remember what happened, the last guy. Yeah, no thank you.

I'm not going to run anymore. Okay, so more international news. Taco Bell has decided that their oversized Cheez-It collab is going to go nationwide. Right? So two years ago, Taco Bell and Cheese It created two new menu items that used the massive cheese cracker, 16 times bigger than normal for a test that sold at only one restaurant, and it created a frenzy. So beginning June 6th, so if you're listing live today,

today is the third of June, 2024, just in three days. The collaboration is going nationwide. Now they claim for a limited time. We'll see. The big cheese it tostata and the big cheese at crunch rep supreme are being added to U.S. menus, following a trial run that got overwhelmingly positive reaction. Yeah, no kidding.

Now, they also are going, let's see, the Big Cheez-It Tostata, layers ground beef, reduced fat-sour cream. Yeah, that's what you want when you go to Taco Bellas, reduced fat-sour-cream. Tomatoes, lettuce, and cheddar cheese on the cheesy cracker. For $4.99. The Big Cheez-It Crunch Wrap.

Supreme replaces the internal toostata shell with a giant cheese it for 549 with mostly the same ingredients except nacho cheese sauce in place of the shredded cheese. Ooh, I'd throw some shredded cheese in there too. What do we? Why are we getting rid of the both? I don't understand. Okay. So then they also have some other new menu items coming, which is, uh, I don't know, questionable. A mountain dew Baja blast gelato. Actually, that might be good. With, let's see, they got a Cineabon collab coming up.

Oh, Cinebun. They're everywhere. I don't know if I could go for a Cinebun taco. But, all right. Go ahead and give it to me, and I'll let you know how I feel. Okay, so I want to go on to some international news. But before I do that, you know, I'm recording this show today in the Glenbeck Radio studio here at Mercury Studios because Pat and I did the Glenbeck radio show so I'm just

recording chewing the fat here but I'm sitting where Stu sits now Stu has a black pad sitting here where he sits back black pad on the desk now you think oh is that a charger for his laptop is that just a charger for his phone no it's a heater it's a heating pad and I forgot to check the button on this little thing that turns it out and up. And as I'm sitting here talking to you now, this heating pad, I've upburted myself. I could have gone up in flames. You would have just heard, and you know, what happened? Yes, Stu's heating pad. Yeah, that's me. That's from Stu's heating pad. That could have happened. That's not even funny. Foof. I mean, that'd have been a little funny. But,

holy cow, anyway, I digress. More international news. They're actually opening a cheese, I know, I want to go. It's in France. It opens today, though. But now they're going to be able to let you taste all the flavors of cheese in France at the cheese museum. The Moucaix de Formage is to cherish every bite of creamy cheese and every human being that brought it into existence. The comfort of age-old processes that bring about specific results in a world of our uncertainty and chaos.

Huh? Yeah, I want to stop into the old museum of cheese. Yum. Yum. Although some of the older nastiness cheeses, do thank you. It's kind of a disappointing start to the weekend. I was hoping that I would get to see a launch on Saturday, the Boeing launch. It was supposed to be this past Saturday that was delayed.

I don't know, a month ago. Then about four minutes before liftoff, yeah, we're going to go ahead and postpone this launch too. Oh, okay. They needed some additional time to assess a ground support equipment issue. Oh, okay. It was due to the computer ground launch sequencer, not loading into the correct operational configuration after proceeding into terminal count.

How many times? How many times do you say to yourself, well, we can't go on vacation because the ground launch sequencer is not loading into the correct operational configuration after proceeding into terminal count. I felt that way with the first one.

Anyway, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams who they claim will be the first to launch aboard Boeing Starliner spacecraft with the ULA's Atlas V rocket. Good luck. Doesn't look like that is going to happen. We'll see.

They claim that they still have tomorrow, June 5th, and Wednesday, June 5th, Thursday, June 6th, for the launch. So they needed at least a couple of days, more like 4 or 5, before they can even attempt it again. We'll see if it ever gets off the ground. At the same time, we had the Chinese Loner Lander,

touching down on the far side of the moon, and a mission to collect and return rock samples and maybe find out that the moon is actually made of cheese and drop some off at the old France cheese museum. You know, you never know. We'll see. Then they're supposed to be up there. If they ever get off the ground into space,

they're supposed to be up there for a week and then come back and parachute an airbag-assisted landing somewhere in the southwestern United States. So, I don't know, we'll see. Good luck. The whole Boeing launching thing It seems like such a waste of money. They've wasted so much money.

I mean, they gave Boeing, the government gave, you know, our money to Boeing and SpaceX at the same time to get the space program going. Elon actually did something with the money. Boeing, they're moving at a snail's pace, a snail's pace. Other disappointing news this weekend Which was a postponement, not a cancellation. Boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul? Yeah, postponed. We saw the headline that Tyson was rushed to the hospital,

some kind of ulcer flare-up, and the medical professionals said, hey, you had to lay up your training a little bit for a few weeks and rest and recover. And, of course, both Mike and Jake are, oh, yes, we have to, Both athletes have equal training time to prepare, and this is an important match. And we want to be able to compete at the highest level. So it's got to be fair.

So apparently it's still going to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Apparently it still will be broadcast live on Netflix. We just don't know when. And most valuable promotions said the official date will be released later this week. Oh, all right. Well, we'll see if it's going to take place. by that time you're getting into close to football season because it was supposed to happen July 20th

so now you're getting into football season you're going to start affecting when you can get in and out of that stadium so good luck and then not a postponement but a cancellation Jalo canceled her summer North American tour This Is Me Live because remember they changed it to This Is Me from now to live

and she announced the cancellation on her J-Lo fan newsletter, and she cited the desire to spend time with her family and close friends. She wouldn't do it if it wasn't absolutely necessary. And she wrote a personal note to her fans, her heartbreak over the decision, promising to make it up to them in the future. And then ended it with, until next time. Oh, okay.

This would have been in the first tour in five years, set to start in the end of June in Orlando. Seven tour dates has already been canceled. And others, I think, I want to say, like, I think New York and Miami may have been thinking about adding a show because those tickets were selling really well. But the other concert dates were all really, really struggling. And she, you know, we talked last week about the MGM saying that they needed to rethink about what they were going to pay her for the, uh, for her residency in Vegas because they felt like, ooh, Dan Lowe's not really selling any tickets. Uh, we need to lower our price.

We don't need to be paying her as much as we said we were going to pay her. Plus, it's been reported that, uh, you know, her and Ben are having tough times. Now, maybe that's what she means when she needs to spend time with their family and close friends. I don't know. Uh, by doing that, does that mean kicking Ben to the curb? possible. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, I needed that cold drink too. Do you know, there are those who lead and then there are those who follow.

And when it's time for you to buy or sell a house, especially in this housing market, the type of person you need is obviously the former, not the latter. You know, a number of years ago, Glenn Beck, you know, the guys whose studio, I'm sitting in right now, recording, chewing the fat, got so fed up with the follower types, not to mention the leader types who didn't really know what they were doing, that he decided to do something about it. And he started real estate agents, I trust, because he didn't want you to go through all the same hassles he had to every time he moved. Real estate agents, I trust, pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area, someone who knows. the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents I trust. The name does say it all. Go to real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com.

I know the whole nine episode thing kills me, though. They released two every week, and then they released the final season finale, that one episode, the nine episodes. We used to have 20, 30 episodes. Not anymore. Sorry, you get nine episodes, and you'll like it. Okay? So I know

I know people have a problem with hacks Because there's so much in it And I think it's hilarious Okay, there's gay characters And woke characters And the main, her main writer Gene Smart's writer in the show I believe

That she's there Proving how ridiculous some of this is But she's also opening the eyes to the comedian who Gene Smart plays about who's getting older now about younger things that are happening in the world

and you know for those of us she never had any kids in the show for those of us that have younger kids that's great to have that because you get that connection and I think that that's the way that show works but I did get an email from Sally

who said I can't this freaking show. I tried. I really did. But I can't. I heard you the other day say it was so good. I didn't realize it's been out for a little while, so I started a week or so ago with season one. I was overlooking the woke stuff. I know that's part of the show. But seriously, I've hit my limit. First, everyone is gay. Everyone. Not really. Okay, maybe not the agent, but he's effeminate.

They talk about voting, dumb Republicans, climate change, and OMG, humans are killing the bees. Yeah, that was a funny episode. They got lost in the woods. That was the whole... Mark me down. I made it to season three, episode six.

I can't make it any farther. It was a gallant effort, I promise. I feel like it wasn't. I feel like he just gave up. Wait, the last thing and not mean to be catty. I hate mom jeans. I'm a Gen Xer,

and they're disgusting. Okay. Thank you for letting me, man. You're the best, Sally. Well, you're welcome, Sally. But I think you're missing the whole point behind the show, but that's just me. So we had the season of Fidelity Hacks. Then we have the season premiere of Mayor of Kingston.

Jeremy Runner is back. This time, he literally is pissed. Fantastic. Another great episode for Mayor of Kingston. Now, I just remember. It is really dark and there's a lot of killing. A lot of blood, a lot of killing. Well, not so much, so much blood, just a lot of killing.

A lot of adult-themed conversations. It was really good, though. And it was nice to have Mayor of Kingston back. That's on Paramount. And it was good to have Jeremy Remmer back. I'm glad he's back. and back and working. Get him out of, quit whining about being,

I was run over by a snow plow. Okay, stop it, all right? Just get back to work. Then I watched Netflix had a special drop of Godzilla minus one. I don't know when it was supposed to drop, but my son came in and said, Netflix did a secret drop.

It just dropped Godzilla minus one. So, actually, I've been waiting for it to hit streaming. so I watched it really good. Really enjoyed the heck out of it. I know it's a Godzilla movie, and I've watched all the other Godzilla's, and they're okay. You know, the Kong Islands, all the battles.

I watched them all. And they're fun, but they're just okay. You know, I watch them to appease other family members. But I watched this one, and this was actually really good. Godzilla minus one. We watched it in the way of, was presented so you've got

closed caption going on in the film which you know whatever but the stars Ryonosaki Kumaki and Manami Humbi and Tsukra Ando

and Mutaka Oake All of those stars There's a whole bunch And I'm sure that's exactly how they pronounce their names. They were really good and it was it really was a fun ride and I'm sure that it was

number, you know, in the top 10 of Netflix of their the top 10 most streamed shows this weekend. Now, let me ask you a question. Now, seriously, this is just being you and me and I don't think Netflix would ever do anything

like this. But if you wanted people to watch one of your shows, wouldn't you put those in the top watched movie category so that more people would say, oh, other people are watching it too. I guess I'll watch it.

I don't say they would do anything like that because that would just be, well, misleading and darn right wrong. But it's possible that they would do that. However, I will say that I enjoyed the heck out of this Godzilla. It was really fun. And, you know, they believe at the end that they've killed Godzilla.

I'll leave it at that. They believe. at the end of the movie that they've killed Godzilla and life is going to be happy again. One thing I don't think I liked about the movie now that I think about it. Now that I think about it. Okay, so there's a point when Godzilla is attacking a city and he gives his, you know, giant blast breath. And one of the stars of the movie, she pushes the main star out of the way. and takes the brunt from the blast.

There I thought that she should have dove with him. She should have just saved him, not just saved him, but saved them both. That didn't happen. But then at the end, see, I'm going to spoil it for you here. I'm going to spoil it for you. No, I'll just leave it there.

Because it's a brand new, I did come out of Swiss. If you didn't see it and you haven't seen it, I won't. I'll be nice, although it kills me. to be nice. I'll just say that there's that point where she pushes him out of the way and takes

the brunt of the blast and you think she's dead. I'll leave it there. Anyway, that's, you know, that's the way it goes. I could spoil the whole thing. We just know I enjoy, I did enjoy the movie. There was just a couple of things that, you know, I questioned on the human take. But the whole thing overall, really, really good.

Now, congratulations. are in order to the four members of Abba. Dancing Queen, me are the only seat. Yeah, no, I'm not going to play the song. That's fine. What am my coast-to-coast a.m.? No. Abba.

Oh, no, I wasn't. No, this is coast-to-coast a. Don't get me started on coast-to-coast. I love this show. I wish I was the host of this show. what about George Norrie? Yeah, he's great and all, but I would love to be the host of.

I will say this right now, out in the open. Premier Radio Networks. I would love to be the host of Coast to Coast A.M. Because I have been, man, from the high desert, Gateway to the West.

I'd have to come up with some kind of fancy name to be the host of Coast to Coast. I don't know what could be. fueled by fat. This is coast-to-coast a.m. All right, stop it. Anyway, congratulations to Abba. They were knighted.

They got one of the most prestigious knighthoods, well, not in the UK, in Sweden. From Swedish King Carl, what is he this? 14th, Gustav. Yeah, that's what you want to be, is you want to be knighted from King Gustav. Okay. The order of the Vasa was handed out for the first time in almost 50 years. Wow. So they all became commander of the first class of the order for very outstanding efforts in Swedish and international music life.

Sweden has several orders, including the Royal Order of Serafram, which is awarded to heads of state and foreign royals. the Royal Order of the Polar Bear or the Polar the Royal Order of the Polar Star That's given to foreign citizens and stateless persons They have the Royal Order of the Vasa And isn't the Vasa It's just the Royal Order of Vasa Which is given in recognition to personal efforts

For Sweden or for Swedish interests As well as the successful performance Of public duties and assignments Okay It was that particular particular order of Vasa. They didn't even let that exist for a number of years. It was

dormant. And then it was reactivated after regulations opened the royal orders to Swedish citizens again. The regulations, I let the king just, oh, say it. He's a king. That's the whole point of being the king. You know what? I want to give them the royal order of Vasa.

That's not really now what the rules say, Your Highness. I'm the king. I get to do what I want to do. That's the whole point. So I guess that doesn't work that way anymore. And the candidates were nominated by the public and the Swedish government and the king approved the nominees that included the four ABBA members. So congratulations to ABBA. There it is. There it is. I know this is coast to coast A.M. No. With Art Bell. Yeah, from the high desert. Yeah. The east of the Rockies

Dial 1, Eastern, west of the Rockies, International Line. I've, oh, man. Congratulations, Bob. You're fantastic. You are now given the King's Award, as the Order of the Vasa. It's not the Vasa. It's Order of Vasa.

Now, it's got to be the Vasa. Order of the Vasa. Whatever the king wants it. That's what the king gets. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.

That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Ron Edmonds. Ron Edmonds He was a photographer For 28 years

Said that he took up photography in college And it literally changed his life Now he was famous For taking pictures of President Reagan When he got shot He took a bunch of those pictures You know These were incredible shots

But that's what You know, he was lucky enough to be able Lucky enough to be able to take pictures Of when the guy getting shot Yeah, and instead of looking where the gun was, he took pictures. That's a good photographer. Anyway, he, Ron Edmonds passed away at the age of 77. I don't know what he died of.

I looked through three stories until I had enough of reading about Ron Edmonds and his career with taking Reagan pictures. So rest in peace to Ron Edmonds at the age of 77. He died in Virginia. I guess that was his home. And so rest in peace, Ron. And I'm sure it wouldn't have been, you know. Well, no, they would have said that.

And they would have said the other thing, too. They would have actually said the other thing as well. Right? Of course. Yes. So rest and peace, Ron Edmund's dead at the age of 77. Then we have a cowboy football hall of famer. Larry Allen.

Larry Allen, dead. At the age of 52. He was a Hall of Fame offensive lineman, Larry Allen. He was on vacation with his family down in Mexico. And he just died. Oh, he was 52. He just died. Okay.

So anybody know what happened? No, he was just a big man. And he's down to Mexico on vacation. He just died. Happens all the time at 52. So, and I'm sure if it was. was actually that. How dare you?

They would have said something. Absolutely. So, Larry Allen, rest in peace, dead at the age of 52. Then we have an artist, this Maya Anna Pulaski. Maya Anna Pulaski, who was 21, and her fans and friends are in shock and mourning. She was a talented artist. Apparently, she was known for her unique style and vibra personality. Aren't they all?

aren't all young artists known for their unique style and vibrant personality okay anyway uh the cause of death has been revealed to be sudden and unexpected health complications what what is that does she stab a paint brush into her brain how dare you no no she needs to

first of all i thought she was in jail why i keep hearing from her We haven't thrown her ass in jail yet. Yeah, we arrest her. We keep letting her go. Okay. So rest in peace, Maya Anna Poloski, dead at the age of 21. But I'm not quite sure what sudden and unexpected health complication means. But because anything, and you get hit by a car, that's a sudden and unexpected health complication.

So, you know, you trip and hit your head on a piece of concrete. that's definitely a sudden and unexpected health complication. So I'm sure if it was that, if it was actually, you know, that, they would have said something for sure because that's more than just a sudden unexpected health complication. Isn't it? Speaking of a sudden and unexpected health complication, we have the guy in China that has now become the,

the first living person to receive a liver transplant from a genetically modified pig, the fifth person reported to have received a pig organ. More than two weeks after surgery, the man is doing very well, says the surgeon. What's the surgeon in China going to say? He's doing crappy. And we put that in there.

He's not doing well at all. Now, he's doing fine. You're doing fine. Don't you worry about it. Everything is going to be just fine. So, no, they might have to do that if the old big organ doesn't work out. I'll tell you that. So we'll see, you know, all the transplant surgeons are all excited about it for sure.

You know, the liver is the latest in a series of pig organs that have been introduced to people since early 2022. We've transplanted pig hearts, kidneys, thymus into four people. Right? Yeah, and thymus into a legate. That's right. But they didn't work out well. Three of them died in the months after receiving their transplants. So this guy's made it a couple of weeks.

And I guess that's good news since he just did die right there. And researchers are able to gain valuable insights. Look, if you need it. And you're going to die anyway if you don't have it. Of course you're going to get it. I'm all for it. Put that big heart in me. Let's go.

oh you might only last two more weeks okay uh no problem i want to i want to last a little bit longer so go ahead and slap that pig organ in me and let's have this bad let's see what happens uh that's just me though and uh you know what do i know i mean we're creating the pigs to serve us that's what we're doing so remember i mean humans first That's what, you know, we believe here on chewing the fat. We also have a new method that's detailed in the Journal of Economic Entomology. Man, you cannot tear me away from the latest edition of the Journal of Economic Entomology. So they have found a new way to kill Western drywood termites.

Good. So apparently they saw significant differences in death rates using insecticide alone versus the insecticide plus pinyin. P-I-N-E-N-E. Nice. So they just added a little smell of pine. And the termites are like, yeah, we're going here. And then, oh, no, it's poison. And then they're dead.

I mean, we've been doing that with ants for a long time. you use boric acid, you mix it with peanut butter, and the ants come in and they die. Remember, though, some of those ants are pretty smart. They're smarter than you give them credit for. So, like, you've got to clean that up. You can't just let them sit there dead. So you get those little red ants, and they come up, and they,

oh, boric acid, yay, peanut butter, yay, I got to take that back to the nest, and then they die. But they also, some of that boric acid kills the ants right there. So you got to clean that up. because the other ants coming up to the boric acid and peanut butter, they're like, whoa, hey, there's a bunch of dead ants. Our friends are dead over there. Why?

And they go somewhere else. They split off. And so you got another line of those damn red ants. So you've got to clean it up. Make sure you clean up. Just a little helpful hint from me. Had to deal with them before. And those damn red ants, man, they just break off into another line.

And off marching, they go. And so some things they don't like. some things they do like, and so you got to keep trying. So anyway, good for all the scientists that have put a little pine smell in with the insecticide so that we're killing turbites. It may seem mean. Oh, you're fooling the termites. Tough.

Okay. Tough. It's a pleasant smelling chemical. We're not just rushing them off to death. We're not sending them to the electric chair. We're killing them. Humanely. And isn't that what it's all about? When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering,

could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious 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. Okay, all weekend long, I have been just walking around saying, what happened to Gina NAM? What happened to Gina now? And I just, I can't stop it. I'm sorry.

And it's because of the video from this fly ageless on Instagram. I don't know who she is. I don't even care if she's serious. I love her rant on Home Depot. And it's, what happened to Gina now? And I just, I have to share it with you. Like about at Home Depot employees, there need to be a minimum age requirement. Okay.

And I'm talking about like 45, 50 something. What happened to Gina now? What happened to Gina now? In Vietnam, they wear transition glasses. They buy a focus. He got a mustache. Unironically, he's not a hipster. He's an old guy.

Gene want to talk about your project more than you want to talk about your project. Gene comes to the store with a tool belt. It's his tools. Think about it. Come with him and ain't leaving with him. Gene didn't just ride tractors. He built them. He didn't know what the hell.

He's talking about. He got experienced. Only people I see in Home Depot now is Breonna with the baby hair. Somebody named Xander with a collar and a tail. Listen, go to Starbucks. We're trying to build some shit. I'm sure you have a specialty, but I know it's not hex bolts. I don't want to see you working in Home Depot unless you was born in the 50s, the 60s.

60s. If you was born after microwaves came out, if you was born after segregation, you don't got the club to be working here. Thank you. You're going to Home Depot, ask them for something. They got to look in the app. Bitch, I have the app. Gene didn't need an app. He had the app up here.

You should not be working at Home Depot unless you already had a career. This should be your second career. You should already be in pension checks. Nobody has pensions anymore, but go ahead. Bring back them grandpas, and I'm not playing. And I'm not playing. Bring back them grandpas. And I'm not playing.

Thank you. What happened to Gina Nam? I freaking love her. Now, I will say this. You know, it's pointed out by many people that she's too young to remember, you know, local hardware stores that Home Depot put out of business, those greedy bastards. But I love the rant and the thought behind it is 100% correct. There's no doubt about it. I mean, we all remember the old the old hardware stores that you'd go in and they'd have the, you know, the beat up cardboard boxes with all the nuts and bolts and hex bolts in them. And I remember, oh man, the last time that I really actually cared about doing home repairs and stuff, there was an old hardware store in the neighborhood who was in St. Petersburg. I don't know if it's still open or not. But I kept, I went in there. I mean, they had the popcorn machine, and they had the hex bowls and all the machines.

It was so nice. And I wondered how he stayed alive because of the Home Depot's and the Lowe's and the Walmarts. And I asked, I had the guy one afternoon. I'm like, dude, how are you guys staying alive? Well, he claimed that the part where people come in and get nuts and bolts and nails, that does nothing for him, you know, the hammers and all that stuff. he had a contract with the state of Florida to repair piping in the state buildings. So he was making his money doing that.

And he was able to, you know, afford to keep the hardware store open because of that. But now I'm sure, you know, what happened to Gina NAM? I'm glad to hear it. I was just informed that Palmer's hardware store at St. Petersburg is still open. I hope they're doing fine. Just know that they always did me right. And if you have an opportunity to stop in, they're right over there, right off a Tyrone and a 49th. I mean, don't be, don't be crazy.

You know where they're at. All right, I'm going to leave you with the joke of the day. Get out of here. I've had enough. I've done one, two, this is my third. I have worked with this tongue to the bone today for you. So, I mean, you're welcome. Let me give you the joke of the day.

I actually shared this joke. on a Saturday morning live show that I do with Brad every Saturday, which will be off for the next couple weeks. I probably shouldn't even mention it because I'm an idiot. I just did. But this is the joke that I shared on that show at the end of that show, and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you, okay? What's the difference between, and just remember, this is a joke, okay?

I didn't write it. That's just a joke, all right? what's the difference between a wife and a girlfriend? I don't know. What's the difference between a wife and a girlfriend? About 45 pounds. Again, I didn't write it. Okay?

I didn't write it. What's the... All right, one more. What's the difference between a husband? You know, this is from Marcus, by the way, who sent me this email. I just wanted to know. He sent an email to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

So if you have a joke of the day, you can share it. And, you know, who knows? You might be lucky enough to get it read. Question number two. What is the difference between a husband and a boyfriend? I don't know. What's the difference between a husband and a boyfriend? About 45 minutes.
