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. Just so we're clear, the account was hacked. Okay? The account was hacked. I know, I know.

Elmo counted some posts on his ex-account that were anti-Semitic and racist. They even said, released the Jeffrey Epstein files at Real Donald Trump, you a child F-worder. And they were hacked. It wasn't really the Elmo account that were typing these things. I know. I know. It's a good excuse anytime somebody does something bad. And I was hacked.

Now, most of the time, you kind of don't believe them. But I guess, you know, you kind of believe that the Elmo account wouldn't be doing that. Do you give them the benefit of the doubt for that? I think you do. And plus a couple days ago, right? Right, we had Musks X in which there were anti-Semitic comments and Hitler comments from Grock 4. So you kind of, it's a good time to say that you were hacked. And these things were being said by not me, somebody else.

So just know that those of you that follow Elmo on X, and I apologize for not following Elmo on X. just know that what you saw wasn't from Elmo I know I know I guess we have to believe Elmo don't we

yes we do welcome welcome to chewing the fat okay alright I don't know if this is real or not but it made me laugh and I'll share it with you okay so as I'm scrolling through my timeline

on X at Jeffrey JFR, by the way, on X. I see a post that talks about Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis uploaded this photo and said nobody knows which of her daughters are trans and she wouldn't have it any other way.

And I don't know if it's true or not. So it's Jamie Lee with her two daughters, but obviously one of them is trans. All right? a male thinking that they are female, believing that they are female. Now, I just want to be clear that if this is real, I want to break the news to Jamie. And I like Jamie Lee. You know, I'm a fan.

I'm a fan of her work. I'm a fan of her work. But you can tell. Just so you're clear, Jamie, okay? I know you love both your kids and they're wonderful and, you know, I got it. I got it. but we do know. And when you say

nobody knows which of her daughters are trans, that's not true, Jamie. We know. Believe me, we know. Okay. Now, it might not be true, but if it's true, somebody needs to take Jamie aside and say,

we can tell. Okay, so America is back, really, I guess, is what we're saying. Apple announced yesterday that it was going to commit $500 million to the only U.S.-based rare earth producer MP Materials. Huh. Isn't that the same company that the Department of Defense said would buy $400 million worth of the company's preferred stock?

It is. Thank you. So the company was founded in 2017 to bring production back to Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine in southeast California. So it's about 50 miles south of Las Vegas, which is weird. You don't think of southeast California being south of Vegas. But look at a map. I know.

I got it. So it's the second largest rare earth mine in the world. Wow. And it's in California. Holy cow. It's the only one operational in the U.S. Rare earth minerals are actually not very. rare. They get their name because it's complicated and environmentally hazardous that they

extract from the earth to get that's the process to get it from the earth. Yeah, it's so weird that this mine, this mountain pass, a rare earth mine is in California. I don't know how you bypass the nightmare of the environmentally hazardous way that they get these out, but apparently they do. So the materials obviously are vital to the manufacturer of powerful magnets using almost every piece of advanced tech from missiles to cars, iPhones. We get most of that from Chinese companies. So I know everybody wants us concerned about the Chinese issue with the rare earth supply. So the U.S. government is looking to, you know, bring that rare earth supply back to the U.S.

And we don't care. It's going to cost us a little bit more And yeah, it might mess with the environment a little bit We don't care We want our iPhones And we want our electric cars Kind of And we want all our other new technology

We definitely want all of the new technology And we don't want to have to involve China So if that means cutting up the ground in Southeast California So be it All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else's name. So if you're dreaming about California, it don't matter at home, it home when you play. California is a brand new game Yeah, they don't care

I don't care about the land does Just the top double I cut it off I don't want to hear I cannot hear the whole song of that I could but I don't want to But it's that's originally from Uh Uh

Reinstow what's the damn TV No I know it's the Galibals Oh sing the original song I want to the TV show Righteous gemstones Yes me out. Everybody told me that I needed to watch that show, and I just, I just, you know, I'll give

it another try, but I just can't with the show. I don't know what, I don't know what it is. I watched it. I tried to get into it. I just couldn't. So there's a new show coming out now. I was going everywhere today. There's a new show coming out starting tomorrow on Netflix called Untamed.

Looks pretty good. I'm ready to go. They're investigating, supposed to be what I, but the gist that I got. was that they are investigating murders in national parks. Okay, I'm in. So I think it's probably going to be more like, you know, a tracker. It's kind of like tracker where they're finding people. Maybe, I hope it's similar to Joe Pickett.

You can catch that on Paramount Plus, which I like Joe Pickett because he's a gay morden. And, you know, the story, it's more of, obviously Joe Pickett and his family, but he's investigating these cases. Anyway, it's untamed, and it starts this week. I believe it drops tomorrow,

so I won't be able to get to it until Friday sometime. But I definitely want to see it. And I like tracker. I mean, I got kind of forced into watching it. My wife started watching it and, you know, you probably would like it. You know, Colter Shaw, Mr. Bounty Hunter. I like, and the characters I like,

I will say, I think it's two seasons. now from tracker and the second season the main guy his helper disappeared. He had to go help family members or something

so they brought in another helper a cousin of the helper and the original guy Bobby his real name is Eric Grace he's the guy but don't get rid of him

he needs to stay out of the show, okay? I got that, you know, Randy, the cousin, Chris Lee. I like him. He's okay. He's funny. You can keep him on as a secondary character once in a while. That's fine. But don't get rid of Bobby. Okay, don't do it.

He's one of the guys that, you know, helps the show. Just saying, if you wanted to reach out to me, Tracker, I'd be happy to let you know which characters you should save and which characters you wouldn't. But, you know, just email me. Join the fat at the blaze.com.

That's fine. We'll be good. We'll be good. Do that. I really all I can talk about is TV shows. I'm happy to talk about that. In fact, we have to because the Emmy Awards, the Emmy nominations were put out. And I have a few thoughts on that as well. We'll get to that. What better way to watch TV and watch your favorite shows than by eating a Kexie cookie? I know. Am I right? You know I'm right. So Kexie, K-E-K-S-I, it's a small batch cookie company It was founded by a guy I work with every day,

Pat Gray and his family. And trust me, I've had a number of Kexi cookies in my life. And I know my way around a cookie. And these are on a whole different level. Their newest flavor called Dubai chocolate, we heard this morning that they also have a Rocky Roadout, which I believe I will probably be a fan of, although I don't know that I've tried a Rocky Road.

But their Dubai chocolate is crazy as well. That's a viral dessert from Dubai made with this creamy pistachio filling, crispy shredded filo dough and rich chocolate. Oh, that's so good. It's so good. I know. I know. It's so good.

Look, if you're any time, okay, stop. All right. No, I just calm down. Okay, I'm eating my cookie. So if you're going to watch a TV show or something I mean, they're just so good And I know people have talked about Oh, we cut them in fours

Or I cut them in half and share No That's the reason that you can order Half a dozen, a dozen or more Is because One cookie is yours That's the way it works They're pretty big

No, I don't kill anybody over Kexe Don't do that Don't even give them a warning shot Just tell them it's mine back off off me, okay? Plus, I've got to tell you something that is a little secret between you and me here on chewing the fat, okay? Sure, Kexie uses real premium ingredients, bakes them in small batches, ships them nationwide,

Awards failed to recognize Squid Game Elizabeth Moss John Ham Ted Danson and the past nominees Yellow Jackets and Selena Gomez not nominated this year wow and I know John Hamm I loved him

in your friends and neighbors it was awesome just really surprising that they would bypass him so the nominations came out and the best the nominations for comedy series Abbott Elementary The Bear

We've talked about this before I don't know how the bear Is an under comedy series But it is I don't know why Because it's not Not funny It's not a comedy

It's a drumcom maybe Sure you want to call it You want to call it a drama comedy Okay It's a drama com You got it But it's just not I mean I love

They say some funny stuff And I like some of the funny situations And I love all the characters I really do and they get a lot of nominations in this year's Emmys. But it's not a comedy. I'm sorry. Hacks.

Fantastic, Gene Smart. Nobody wants this. Not sure about that show. Only murders in the building. Really good. Shrinking Apple TV Plus. That's with Harrison Ford. He was nominated for the first time for an Emmy this year because of that.

The studio, Apple TV Plus. I haven't made it through that all the way. I started watching it. It's okay. It's okay. I know everybody loved it. Same with Severance. Everybody loved it.

And I'm watching them, but I just... And then FX's What We Do in the Shadows. Where are the episodes or shows nominated for comedy? Lead actor in a comedy series. Adam Brody, nobody wants this. Seth Rogen, the studio. Okay. Jason Segal shrinking.

Martin Short, only murders in the building. Jeremy Allen White, the bear. I mean, okay. Okay, fine. Lead actors in the comedy series, Uza Abduba, the Residence. Kristen Bell, nobody wants this. Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary.

I-O-E-B-B-A-O-E-D-E-E. A-Y-O-E-E-E. Amorpha-Fal. Yeah, that's how they pronounce it. nominated for the bear. So when they say, the winner is Amorpha-Falus.

No, you know exactly who it is. Gene Smart and Hacks, she'll probably win it again. I mean, this is awesome. A supporting actor for the comedy series. Ike Barinholtz. Amorph a fallis. A number of those being nominated in shows this year. Coleman Dubingo, four seasons, Harrison Ford, I told you about him and shrinking.

Jeff Hiller, somebody somewhere. Evan Moss, Bach Rock from the Bear, yes, absolutely deserve it. Love his character. He's awesome. Michael Yuri, Shrinking, and Bowen Yang. Saturday Night Live. Okay, stop. Supporting actors and comedy series.

Lisa Kola Zias, the bear. Yeah, she was great. Hannah Ann Biner with Gene Smart in Hacks. Absolutely. Awesome. Does a great job. Catherine Hahn, the studio. Janelle James, Abbott Elementary.

Catherine O'Harell, the studio. Yeah, I mean, she just knocks it out of the park every time she works. Cheryl Lee Ralph for Abadette Elementary and Jessica Williams shrinking. I do not watch Abbott Elementary. so maybe it's hilarious, but I feel like it's not. But it's a network show, and they take a lot of awards and they love it.

Okay, best drama series. This is what the Emmys think is the best drama series. Andor, Disney Plus. Okay. The Diplomat, really enjoyed the heck out of that on Netflix. The Last of Us, HBO. Oof, we talked about that. Season two is rough for The Last of Us.

And they apparently, and I haven't watched it with my son, and I apologize, I'm getting to it. When I do, I'll give you a review because I'm not watching it without him because he's played all the games and he told me that season one was following the game and it was pretty good.

I like season one. Then season two, he said, if they follow the game, everybody's going to hate it. He told me that right off the bat because everybody, and I say everybody, most of the people hated game two of the last of us.

They didn't like it at all. They didn't like the way the characters were any of that. Now, I'm told through some of the reviews that I read that I'm not supposed to be reading because my son gets pissed at me because I'm reading. Don't read the reviews. Find out for yourself. And so the reviews are talking about how they strayed from the season two game in the show. Okay. Well, maybe they thought that what they were doing was going to make it better because what was going to be the game was terrible.

but what they did, man, was not good. A lot of people did not like it. And I think they kill off the guy. What's his face? Amorpha fallis. No, not him. Not the Morphalus guy. Pedro Pascal.

Pedro Pascal. I've heard. I haven't watched it. I've heard they kill him off in season two. What's the point? Bella Ramsey isn't going to drive me to watch season three. And we found out that the two writers, the predominant writers for The Last of Us,

Just hit the road. They just quit. Have a nice day. No, I know you re-uped for season three, but not with us. We're out of here. So they even got so pissed after season two. So, oh, holy cow. Anyway, congratulations to the last of us for being nominated as Best Drama Series.

And then Paradise on Hulu. The pit, the pit should absolutely win it, I think. The pit, severance, slow horses, White Lotus. I say give it to the pit. absolutely. The other shows were really good. The pit was awesome. I love that series. And they have already Greenlit Season 2. In fact, I think they're filming season 2 as we

speak. Lead actor in a drama series, Sterling K. Brown Paradise, Gary Oldman's Slow Horses. You know that's Slow Horses. There's another one that everybody said was so good and I need to watch it and I've watched it. And it's just Okay. All right. Pedro Pascal nominated for The Last of Us.

Adam Scott for Severans and Noah Wiley for the Pit. Yeah. Boy, all those are tough because all those guys carried those shows. So it's going to be a tough one. They'll probably give it to Nightmare Pedro Pascal.

But I'd like to see Noah win it. Lead actress in a drama series, Kathy Bates, Matt Locke. Okay. has nothing they've made a point they've gone out of their way

to make a point that this show was not about Matlock the original series it was just the name but it was about Matlock the original series because that was a show anyway

anyway I digress Sharon Horgan and I watched quite a few episodes of Batlock at least the first season maybe I think that's all they have so far as one season and uh

it because I like Kathy Bates it was uh it was okay it wasn't you know I got the gist okay I got the gist maybe that was it once I learned the gist okay okay

Sean Hattesey was in the pit. He was great. He gets nut. He doesn't even get a nom? Okay. All right. Be that way. Supporting actors in a drama series.

Yeah, nobody cares. Bridget Jones, Matt about you. The Gorge, Mountain Head, known as Rebel Ridge. Yeah, nobody cares. And Rebel Ridge. Okay. lead actor in a limited series, Colin Farrell, the Penguin. Yeah. Oh, it's okay for a skinny person to play a fat man in a TV show, isn't it?

Yeah, oh, that's okay. But they can't play. You can't have a straight person play a trans person. You can't have a gay person played by anyone other than a gay person, but you can have a fat person played by a skinny person. That's Hollywood. That's okay, right? Okay. All right, sure. Colin Farrell and the Penguin. I loved his character, though. He did a great job. So he also, also plays a lot. a fat person and a handicapped person. So, okay. I guess that's okay. Stephen Graham and Adolescence.

at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. Okay, so how about that All-Star game last night, huh? If you're listening live, as I mentioned earlier today, is the 16th of July, 2025. And last night, the 15th was the Major League Baseball, All-Star game where the National League takes out the American League or the American League take on the National League, whatever way you want to look at it. And it used to be a really big deal in a lot of people's lives. And it was, it is exciting.

It is exciting. And they had the home run derby attached to it the night before, which is fun to watch. And then they have the big game. And so, and all the stars are there. And it's cool to see them play. Okay. So then the game ends in a tie. I get up this morning and I look at the final.

And it says six, six. And I'm like, six to six? They ended a baseball game in a tie. You don't end baseball in a tie. Baseball doesn't end in a tie. There's no crying in baseball. You don't end in a tie. You play till there's a winner.

That's baseball. That's the baseball I know and love. Okay, so apparently in their last union contract deal that they made, which was in 2022, and I didn't read all the fine print, but they did. And so at the end of the All-Star game, now, instead of playing extra innings and having to go till, you know, till the middle of the morning, you know, at 3 a.m. for the game to be over. Because these guys are on their break and they are All-Stars. And so they're doing us a favor by showing up to the game and playing for us, okay? I mean, that's certainly the way they look at it.

And so they decided that they're going to have a swing off. So it's going to be like the home run derby. each side, American and National picks three players and then they do their thing. All right, so that happened and the National League ended up winning. So if you win the swing off, you get the one run, which means

you won the game 7 to 6 because it was tied up 6-6. Okay, so that's fine. But I three or more of the big stars that were on the All-Star team left before the game was over. I cannot tell you, I don't know why that pisses me off so much,

but it just does. Okay? You got elected to go to the All-Star game. You should stay there for the game. I know it's your time off. I got it. Your pilot of your private plane will wait, okay, for you to get on it at any time and take you wherever you need to go.

That's the way private planes work, okay? And so you don't have to try to run through spirit security to get the Spirit airline and get on there on time to get back to your hometown. pretty sure you're not going to have to do that. Okay? So it really irked me that some of the big names, the big thumper, O'Tani, Aaron Judge,

there was another one too. They all, they left early. They played in the game early, and I understand, I want to understand their thinking, okay, they played in the first part of the game, right? They're the big names. They played in the first part of the game. They got their at bat, maybe two at bats.

They're done. right they're not going to play anymore they're not going to get injured they're done they're not going to be part of the game you still stay for the game you still we want to see you be happy for your team if you won or be sad with your team if you lost that's what we want you that's the what we want from our all-stars okay we don't want you to go i got to go man this uh we don't have to be back to work until when friday yeah i got to go i'm out of here so the swing off did not those guys in it, which is very, very disappointing. And they knew it was they were leaving early.

The manager even admitted I knew they were going to leave early. Because a couple of reasons. I believe the one manager did say he knew that they were going to leave early at one of the postgame interviews. And the lineup for the swing off. I thought it just had to be submitted to the umpires at the beginning of the game, like your starting lineup. Nope. They have to submit according to what I was.

was told earlier today. They have to submit their swing off lineup if the game ends in a tie the night before. So why wouldn't you have your top home run hitters in the league as part of your swing off if the game goes to a tie? Oh, I know because you already knew they weren't going to be there. you are they already said yeah i'm coming and uh we'll play but then i'm out uh have a nice day you're not gonna see me in the dugout i got a i'm changing my clothes in fact i may take a shower i may not but i'm out of here i'm taking my uh taking my limo uh to the airport and i'm hopping

on uh the private airplane and i'm going to where i want to go anyplace else but here and so i just really irks me a lot really just kind of bugs me the rubs me the wrong way. And I got that you're making a lot of money. I know. I get it. I do. I understand. You're on the road. You're playing a game that you're on the road a long time. I understand. And so when you get a

break, you want to enjoy the break. I know that. But it's the All-Star game. It's the All-Star game. And you want to make baseball, they're trying to make baseball friendly again. They're using the Hawkeye to review balls and strikes and they're bringing, letting the fans see the machine up on the screen. I love

that. We're getting this fans involved. It's not to make the umpires look bad. It's so that we're helping them out. We're making the game better. I love that. But so today, if you see someone wandering around with a sad face, it's either because they're pissed that their

favorite hitter didn't participate in the swing off after the tie game in the All-Star game. Or they realize that Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and the National Hockey League are not competing in any competitive games.

And I think that's going to hold true for at least two or three days. So it's a tough time in America right now. Ouch. It's a tough time in America right now.

Well, let's begin with Dan Rivera, Dan Rivera, who has died suddenly. And why?

Because he was on the Annabel Haunted doll tour. Yeah. The paranormal investigator had the haunted Annabelle doll tour in the haunted battlefield town of Gettysburg

and he died. Some people have said that some of the bad luck that's come upon Texas as of late was because we allowed Annabelle into the state. Just a passing thought there. So Dan Rivera, 54, is in Pennsylvania for his Devils on the Run Tour. Uh-huh.

And including his, you know, Dow, the Annabelle Dow. And now, just out of the blue, yep, he's dead. Sorry. Exact cause of death? Unclear. Yeah, did they find the doll with the knife at her hand? the poison in her bag? I don't know.

We just know that his death has been confirmed by the New England Society of Psychic Research. So, if they confirm it, you're dead. All right. If the New England Society of Psychic Research says, yeah, you're dead. You're dead. Yeah, that's no doubt.

So I think they're even more important than that. If you hear this, you may think you're dead. And you may scream and come back. to life. But if the New England Society of Psychic Research says you're dead, you're dead. So rest in peace to Dan Rivera, who should have been smart enough than

known better than to take Annabelle the doll out on tour dead at the age of 54. Then we have Mr. Voice actor. James Carter, Cathcart, has died at the age of 71. So this guy's a voice actor.

And he played Pokemon's professor. Oh, and other classic animated characters and he's passed away. He had throat cancer. Right. I mean, that's, no, I don't wish that on anyone. The man's making a living with his voice

and then he gets throat cancer. That is, I don't wish that. I don't wish, well, I don't wish throat cancer on anyone. But most importantly, I don't wish it on someone tried to make a living with their voice. I will say this. Rest in peace to James Carter, Cathcart, dead at the age of 71. If the places are looking for a new voice, you can reach out to me.

You can DM me on X, Instagram or Facebook, or email me. I'm here for you. I'm willing to be a voice. He's been in 15 movies, Pokemon. This guy's got a lot shot of Hedgehog movies. he's been in a lot of stuff in a lot of games. So rest and peace to James Carter Catheride. Really sucks that he had throat cancer.

Wow. And so now we have Paulette Giles. Paulette Giles, the best-selling novelist. You know Paulette Giles, right? She's the News of the World author whose work was later adapted into a film that Tom Hanks did, which actually was a better movie than people gave it credit for. The News of the World.

That was really good. Anyway, Paulette Giles has passed away at the age of 82. But the movie, I might have to watch that again. It was actually the news of the world was really good. Hanks was a guy that traveled around and read the news for small towns and people around the country. Predominantly, the movie was based, I think, here in Texas, actually. But that's how, you know, telephones and, you know, you know, No, not typewriters.

You know the telegraph thing. You know the telegraph thing. But he would carry around and newspapers were not really, they were just starting to be a thing. But he would get reports and have newspapers from bigger cities and he would go to these small towns and read the news to them and let them know what was happening in the world. It was pretty interesting because his job obviously went away pretty fast

because information is out there now, right? But it's fascinating to me to see someone who would do that. Because I could have been that guy back in that time. Anyway, rest in peace to author and creative genius, Paulette Giles, dead at the age of 82. Then we have David Calf. David Caff. Yes, that's right. You guessed it.

He played the keyboardist in Spinal Tap, Viv Savage. dead at the age of 79. His bandmates confirmed his death. According to his friends, he passed away peacefully in his sleep. Okay, so he was probably still doing drugs. He doesn't say that. He passed away sleep peacefully in his sleep.

He was 79. So rest in peace to David Kaff, the British musician and actor, who played Viv Savage. and this is spinal tab dead at the age of 79. Then I'm going to end with this American Idol music supervisor Robin, I mean, and who died today, with this American Idol music supervisor Robin Kay and a husband

found dead in their home. They've arrested a suspect. Apparently the arrest has been made in the murders of Robin Kay who worked as a music supervisor on American Idol for 15. seasons and her husband, Thomas DeLuca, were found dead in their Encino, California home. A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they arrested this Raymond Mudarian, 22,

for a double murder. And like the victims, apparently he lived in Encino. Okay, I get that, you know, it's a suburb of California, but there was no security surveillance video, in the home. Uh-huh. And the suspect had dropped, jumped the fence at the K DeLuca's residence. And there was in their home for about 30 minutes before the pair walked in on him and were shot multiple times. Wow.

Now, the detective said there was a violent struggle and the homeowners were ruthlessly shot multiple times. But adds, yeah, there was no surveillance in the house. At one point, apparently the neighbors had said that they tried, they alerted the police that someone was trying to get into the home because it was obviously their home is gated. Duh. You can't be expected to be a television producer and not have a home

behind gates. Duh. With no security cabs. Uh-huh. Okay. So right now the police say it was just a random attack. We don't know what happened. Again, I say, uh-huh. But rest in peace to

Robin Kay and her husband, Thomas DeLucah. dead murdered in Encino there's a movie there somewhere boarding for flight 246 to Toronto

Yesterday we talked a little bit about the fires in Arizona, the wildfires, and they were battling the white sage fire that burned more than 55,000 acres of land. And then there was also the Dragon Bravo Fire.

Now, yesterday they said the Dragon Bravo Fire. I know. I know. they both were started because of lightning and the dragon bravo fire had burned around I don't know 5,700 acres

well I'm trying I was looking at some live coverage now they're saying it's burned 8,570 acres it's also still zero percent contained so right that is happening and

Arizona. So be safe. Be safe out there. And seriously, be safe on the roads. You know, I was driving into work this morning. And one of the main interstates that I take is Highway 114. It doesn't mean anything to you unless you live in DFW. But I have seen more accidents. Me personally, I have seen more accidents and deadly accidents in the last month than the entire time I've lived here in Dallas, Fort Worth. Unbelievable. I mean, this morning I'm driving to work and there's a truck tipped over on

its side. It looked like it ran into the guard rails and it's upside down on the high interstate. They've got traffic backed up, thankfully going in the other direction. So my side was still flowing. I didn't cause it and I got to work out time. But just

terrible. And I don't know if it was a deadly crash. I hope that it wasn't. But the other morning, there was a crash in that kind of same neck of the woods, uh, did not look good at all. Uh, there was a,

there was, uh, there was, uh, tipped over on its side, an SUV and the front was all smashed to hell. Uh, then a couple,

like last week there was the one that where the guy looked like he hit the guardrail and then flew over and ended up hitting the other side's guard rail and smashing. That was for sure deadly. Uh, no, more than that man no one survived that crash so i mean it was terrible it was awful there were two cars and i didn't even one one was a black car i thought it was pat gray i mean i'm driving to work

i thought holy crap because i could tell what kind of car it was except that it was just a a dark color uh car you know a dark color sedan and so i mean i'm like i was i pulled into the parking lot and i'm like okay good because he his cars here good i'm I'm good. Because his car wasn't in this parking lot. I was calling, man. I might even have gone back to the accident scene. I know.

I care. I do. And then there was another one the other. I think it was yesterday or the day before on the same interstate. Just terrible. What has happened? Be safe out there. What the heck is going on?

I know more and more people are moving into DFW. I will say that. Since the time I've been here, when I come here in 12? I think, something like that. Somewhere around there. I will say that more traffic on the roads between 4 and 430 than ever before right now. And maybe that's the problem.

I don't know. But obviously, you're going to see more asking. There's more people and more cars. You're going to see more accidents. Yeah, I know. But not deadly ones. Right? I mean, we all see a bunch of accidents.

But these are really, really deadly accidents. and I don't like seeing them at all. I don't like seeing them at all. So be safe out there. Seriously, I mean that. Because you're a split... My mother used to say, you keep your eye on the road,

you're only a split second away from not being here. I know, mom, it's okay. I know what I'm doing. It's okay. I know what I'm doing. But it's true. You're only a split second away.

Boom. And it could be over. So something to think about today. Life is fleeting, and it's just a split second away. So make sure you have, you know, make sure you are able to answer the question when asked, what would you do different if you found out you were going to die,

you know, a week from now or a day from now or whatever, what would you do different? And your answer should be nothing. You're already living your life the way you want to live your life. You're telling the people in your life that you want, to know that you love them, that you love them, and you're doing things in life that you want to do

as bringing joy to you and also enhancing you. Again, that's the way you're supposed to answer. So, just life is fleeting. And so be safe out there. Just be safe out there. That's all I'm saying. All right, let's get out of here. I'll be with a joke of the day.

You know what? I want to read your joke today. Sent to me from Denny. he emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com and I just want to say that people are still working, still working on jokes, still trying to, you know,

come up with jokes, good, bad, indifferent. And Denny, good job. I appreciate you, you know, continue to keep up to fight,

keep in there, but you need to keep working at a little bit. But I'm going to give you his latest joke and just know that, you know, he's working.

He's working at it, okay? All right. A man is being questioned by the police and he says, I'm not answering questions without my lawyer present.

The cop says, but you are a lawyer. And the lawyer says, I know, so where's my present? See, so I mean, I got it. It's almost there. I got it. But keep trying, Danny. Thank you, though. I appreciate it.

But, you know, no, let it go. Let's let it go. I appreciate it. Just be safe. Just be safe out there. Whether you're getting a president. or not.
