Starting point is 00:00:36 It is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year. For those of you listening live, today is the 20th of June, 2024. Welcome. So if you have to go outside, and we're having a heat dome. Tropical heat dome is over most of the country, so they want you to wear, you know, some kind of sun protection. But don't use Suntegrity skin care. They have initiated a recall of its impeccable skin sunscreen foundation product
Starting point is 00:01:18 based because they had higher than acceptable mold counts. Oh, okay. The mold species, Aspergillus Swadawi, Aspergillus Swadawi, I don't have to tell you, but I will, the filamentous fungus that is commonly found in marine environments. It's commonly, you know, it causes a range of infections in animals. Its role as a human pathogen has not been really studied, so good luck. It has caused some allergic reactions, maybe some phyllis. maybe some fungal skin infections if applied to open wounds or sunburned skin. But it's weakled.
Starting point is 00:02:06 So don't worry. The most amazing thing to me about this. And the affected batch is from this 115 BU lot. And the product number, lot number can be found on the back of the product of the tube. However, what's surprising to me, and they're doing it, of course, out of an abundance of caution. They've also decided, you know what, out of an abundance of caution, let's get some other lots and pull them off the shelves as well, okay? And they've been fine.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You know, nobody's complained about them. Nobody's said anything. But we're going to pull them off the shelves anyway just for, you know, just for out of an abundance of caution. And so if you have an adverse reaction, be sure to do something with it. However, the thing that shocks me the most on this is the impeccable skin sunscreen foundation. Retails in two-ounce tubes for $58. 58 bucks for two-ounce tubes of impeccable skin sunscreen foundation.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And what is it? Inpeccable skin sunscreen line? No, thank you. I will be purchasing something else. But if you do, just beware that the Asperillus Swadawi could cause allergic reactions, and you shouldn't use it at all. So welcome. Happy summer.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So yesterday on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR, I see a post from our very own Chris Cruz, man who's out on the streets, our man on the street reporter. also does some royals talk with me from time to time here on chewing the fat and he was posting that it was his first time going to a ball game, a baseball game. Well, you know, when you say yes to America and you accept a citizenship.
Starting point is 00:04:16 But you've lived here for, as you are in a mess. I realize that, you know, well, you're kind of from America, Puerto Rico, I get that. But that's your first time. First I saw that and I thought, wow. I mean, because I, I pop my cherry at 34. Wow. That's really incredible.
Starting point is 00:04:34 So you went to the, and I want to just be clear about one thing as well, okay? And I don't, I won't beat you up too bad for it, but. It's my grammar wrong because you're not the only one. Golly, people. Get over. You don't, you don't,
Starting point is 00:04:46 it's just grammar. You didn't go, you're not in a baseball game. If you're in a baseball game, you're playing in it, okay? So here's the thing. If you're at a baseball game, if you're watching the game,
Starting point is 00:04:56 you're at a game. As some of you will see on that pose, I have my three, year old and my 13 year old there with me so when i told the kids we're going to go to a baseball game my three-year-old thought that he was going to be in the field playing and he was pissed the entire time okay you're not in a baseball game if you're going to watch the game you're at a baseball game okay you're in a baseball game if you're playing yeah you and the other douchebags that commented under that ruined the whole tweet but okay no i'm not that's that's i'm not that's i'm
Starting point is 00:05:30 I'm just pointing it out. Okay. I'm not being up for it. Okay. I'm just pointing it out. But it was a good game, man. It was the Mets and the Yanke, I mean, the Rangers. The Rangers.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I'm winning for the Yankees game. You went to the, you went into New York for a baseball game. I love that. I want, my, my goal is to watch the Yankees play. Why? That's my favorite team. Oh, okay. So, I mean, do you, do you know baseball?
Starting point is 00:05:57 You know the rules? Yeah, yeah. I play baseball when I was. I was a little kid, like T-ball, and then I ran to the wrong base and the coach yelled at me and I cried. Went to my mom and I quit right there. So I would coach yell at me for going to the wrong base. Because you go down to the first base line. I didn't go down the first.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I went down the third baseline. That's dumb. He called me that and many more things in Spanish. And I was like, the hell with this. I'm out. You know, my son will say that I may have said a number. of things to him over the years when I was coaching he and others.
Starting point is 00:06:37 But it worked. You're damn right it did. He made it to the NFL. So quit your whining. He didn't get a Super Bowl ring. No, he did. He did. He did. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So anyway, I was excited that you actually went to a baseball game. It was awesome. I was trying to remember the first time I went to a baseball game was, you know, a hundred years ago. Isn't it usually your dad takes you to a baseball game? Yeah. Right? I took my dad to a baseball game.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, okay, you went with your father. Yeah, that's cool. And then I took my kids to a baseball game. Yeah, great. Look, baseball is America's pastime, man. This is a game. Apple pie and baseball, baby. I don't know how many people were there.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It was pretty packed. Oh, that's a Chevrolet ad, never mind. It was pretty packed. But from 7 to 9 p.m., we got there at 6. But from 7 to 9 p.m., nothing else mattered. Yeah. It was Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:30 You're watching a baseball game Yeah You're watching a baseball game You're involved in the game Amazing and you're yelling Yeah you're involved in the game It's great I'm wondering why didn't speak a lot today
Starting point is 00:07:39 On the Padreau program Because my throat hurts Because it was a Home Run by the Rangers Did you catch it? No I mean you were out there in left field right I was right
Starting point is 00:07:52 You know that's left field right I mean I know you ran down The third base line Well that's I was behind the first base. Oh, so you were on right field. Right. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:02 But it went right underneath, freaking went to section 100. I went to section 200. Oh. But I will say this, it hits different when you see, when you see a home run in the stadium. Walls are moving.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And it's the home team, that stadium went dark fireworks that I was like, my PTSD may have kicked in. But it was all. Awesome. Yeah. I can see why people go to them. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I can see, I can see me getting addicted. They've got some new rules that speed up the game. So did it feel like it went pretty fast? It went pretty fast. They had the clock. Yeah. That clock was. Yeah, they're on it.
Starting point is 00:08:42 The Mets pitcher, it was funny. He always, and I know most of these players have a ritual. Yeah. Right. They hold the bat. It's fantastic. They pitch all of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:57 That's baseball. baseball, man. I played baseball for so many years. I love it. The New York Mets pitcher, his thing was he had a wait for that clock to hit one second. Yeah. Take as long as he can't. That's good.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Rangers, it's good offense. The Rangers, three seconds. He never got under three seconds. There's a couple of pitchers that change it up because they want to keep the batters off balance because it's in that window. But I get it. It's fun. It was, it did, it was
Starting point is 00:09:27 very interesting because I said, man, we're going to be here forever because a baseball game usually takes, you know, five hours. I think, yeah, that's what it feels like. It feels like five hours, but it didn't feel like five hours. By the time I blinked, we were already in the bottom of the eight. Yeah. And I was like, well, that's when we're leaving, the bottom of the eight, because I don't want to No.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I don't want to. No. And especially when you're up by two. Okay, Mr. New American. Oh, you stay? You go to a game. Okay. You stay for the game.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah, but if you're winning by two points. Okay. Then next time I'll do it. Yeah, you got to stay. But here's the one thing. I want to talk to the Globe Life people. If I'm sitting in section 233. Okay, you're down the right field line.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I'm the right field line. And then I tell you, hey, I'm sitting in section 233. And you're walking in and you point me to the right. Then you make you wake all the walk all the way around. I walked Fisher, the entire. stadium. Because she said, oh, yeah, 233, just go that way, go up the escalators, and then go right there.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I'm like, no, it is not. I literally, all I had to do was make a left, boom, my seat. You were right there. Yeah. But no, she wanted me to have the full baseball. You got the full experience. You got the full experience. You see where everything is sold at.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yes. Where all the conveniences are, we're good. I saw the 7-Eleven. I saw the, you know, the five-foot low. Oh, there's the stairway to the boxes that I don't have tickets for. Okay. But it was a fun game. If you've never been to a baseball game, I highly recommended.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I just was amazed that you had never been to a baseball game. That's all. It was fun. I'm glad to see that you're finally settling into America. I'll say this. Dollar hot dogs? I'm all about that. Yeah, no doubt.
Starting point is 00:11:15 19,000 hot dogs were sold by the third inning. 19,000 hot dogs? Dollar hot dog diet? Good deal. Do they have a limit? Five per person. Yeah. Yeah, but you just go and send the other person.
Starting point is 00:11:31 That's what we did. Every per even my son, but he's with my debit card. You said your three-year-old up for the kid of five hot to go get five hot dogs. He said five hot dogs. And I'm like, that's right. He's a different person. I gave him the debit card. He swiped it.
Starting point is 00:11:46 That's one thing I also learned. No cash. No cash at all at Globe Life. No cash at all. And they have the reverse ATM machines, which is fantastic. even know that was the thing. You insert the cash and it goes to your debit card. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Because we're not taking cash. We're not taking cash. But you can put it in that machine there. That machine will take it on a card. And put it in a car.
Starting point is 00:12:11 That's a good business. That is a great business. That's a good business. I call it the reverse ATM. Yeah. TM because that's not what it's in. I wonder who's making money off. What do they charge you for that?
Starting point is 00:12:20 I didn't pay attention to it. Oh, we got to see. We got to find out what they charge you. But I thought of you when I saw it. That's a good business. I'm like, because it's just like what, 375, an ATM fee, 275? At some places, yeah. So put your cash in for, you put money on a debit card so you could buy something
Starting point is 00:12:38 in a stadium, that's at least, you know, two bucks every 20. Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah. I love that. I know. I love that. Take me out to the ballpark. 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?
Starting point is 00:13:09 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?
Starting point is 00:13:28 Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. I want to tell you why it's important for you to have a Jace case. Nobody who looks at our economy for more than a minute or maybe two think that it's getting better. Inflation is still high, could easily get higher soon, and it has a spiraling effect. People aren't able to pay their expenses, so they're falling further and further behind. Consumer sentiment is at its lowest level in the past half year, and really who can blame us. we've seen what our overrun healthcare system looks like when the economy is booming.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Imagine if something like that, you know, happened now. Yeah. The Jays case is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use. You just fill out a simple form online, and you'll have it in case you need it, which is what the Jace case is for.

So Stonehenge has a rare lunar standstill. that's going to illuminate the Stonehenge this week.
Starting point is 00:15:34 The Stonehenge, is that what it is? Is that just Stonehenge? We're just the Stonehenge. Is that a band? So, of course, today is, you know, the summer salsis, the longest day of the year, it's summertime. And it's, you know, the monument is known for its alignment with the sunrise on the summer soltis. However, this year, something that happens once every 18 years, I think they said.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Might even be 18.6 years, yeah. When both Earth and the moon are at their maximum tilts. So this results in the moon rising and setting at its most extreme positions on the horizon. So we get the Stonehead Summer Saltus and the moon rise on the same day. That's a big deal. It's the major lunar standstill. And that happens, that happened this morning and will happen tonight for those of you listening live. Now, that is why these dingleberries, just to stop oil, stormed the grounds of Stonehenge.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Rajin, not you. And he was 73. And Nyam Lynch, 21 of Just Stop Oil. stormed the grounds and began spraying this orange powder on the stones. Others standing by noticed and attempted to stop them. I mean, the one lady did kind of stop him, but, you know, the other one just kept right on going. And people are pissed, and I don't blame them, but they wanted to bring, you know, attention to just stop oil. And they wanted to do it on the summer solstice, which is why they did it yesterday, because this big crowds are there.
Starting point is 00:17:25 especially, you know, now you've got the sun and the moon day today. The prime minister called the group of disgrace. They should be ashamed of themselves. They're not. They said, you know, hey, the need for radical government intervention to mitigate a catastrophic consequences of the climate and ecological crisis remains. Either we end the fossil fuel era or the fossil fuel era will end, with us.
Starting point is 00:17:57 So they have not. They won't give up. They claim that what they sprayed on the Stonehenge, what they sprayed on the Stonehenge, was made up of corn flour and then it will soon wash away with rain. And I'm sure the stones have dealt with other, you know, other things over the years. I've been there for a while.
Starting point is 00:18:17 So I don't know that it will hurt them. I'm just tired of the just stop oil people. What are we doing? Come on. You went ahead and you threw tomato soup on a van go. You broke the glass of the Magna Carta. Are you winning anybody over? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I don't think you're winning a single person. You're not winning me. I see that and I think it's dumb. And you're not, let me ask you a serious question now. And you can email me towing the fat at the blaze.com with an answer. does any of these protests do any of these protests make you change your mind do you think to yourself you know they just sprayed they just sprayed paint on the stone hinge and maybe i should think about just stop oil or should i just go fill up my car with gas and not worry about it yep

Starting point is 00:21:05 I see that Mel Gibson has confirmed that lethal weapon five is happening. Okay. If you want, go ahead. And I guess he's going to direct it. and he's going to star in alongside Danny Glover. A Lethal Weapon, 5. So he said I'm going to direct the fifth film in the Lethal Weapon series. Richard Donner, who did the other four sadly passed away.
Starting point is 00:21:40 He was a good friend. They said that they had written a rough draft of it last year. And so we're back at it again. I guess the filming is reportedly going to start in the fall of this year. So, I mean, Gibson, his, I don't think he has anything on the agenda. All right, he just completed his, his next film called Flight Risk with Mark Wahlberg,
Starting point is 00:22:07 and that's supposed to release in October. So, Lethal Weapon Five, lethal weapon five. Wow. And this time, they're retired. Ex-cops get called back into duty because of some terroristic act that only affects them. I'm sorry, they didn't consult me on what the script is going to be. I'm just taking a guess.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Then I see the announcement from HBO's Hard Knocks, which is, you know, their NFL show. This year in season will cover the AFC North teams starting December 3rd. So they're going to feature the Ravens, the Bengals, the Browns, and the Steelers. Wow, that is pretty amazing. For the first time ever, television's most acclaimed sports documentary franchise that will chronicle the entire NFL division,
Starting point is 00:23:06 hard knocks in season with the AFC North. That's pretty incredible. They're going to be behind the scenes with all of those teams in the AFC North in season, and that's, you know, the time when you're starting to, you know, have division rivalries and you're looking to see who's, you know, who's winning and who's losing. That's pretty incredible. That should be fun.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And they also announced that Hard Knocks will be covering offseason with the New York Giants. That's going to debut in July. It'll be kind of fun. And then the Chicago Bears is going to be the training camp edition of the show Hard Knocks with the Chicago Bears. So we get to see what's his face, Caleb Williams. and that starts, you'll get to see that on August 6th. That's pretty incredible. That show is getting behind the scenes in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Gotta be worth a lot of money. They must HBO and NFL films and the NFL, for that matter, and the teams. I don't know what the teams get out of this. But the NFL is a money-making machine. But am I going to love seeing behind the scenes for the AFC North? You betcha. The Ravens, the Bengals, the Steelers, and the Browns?
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yes, yes, please. Those players on all those teams that I want to hear from and see what's going on behind the scenes. It'll be pretty incredible. I know those of you that don't care about the NFL, I get it. It's okay. But I love it, and I'm looking forward to college football too. I do enjoy football season very, very much.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Hey, sue me, okay? No, don't actually, but just know that I do love football season. Okay, you know the rules of chewing the fat. A couple of strong rules. One, you don't have to speak when someone puts a microphone in your face. You know, it's fine and I'm happy that people do, but you don't have to. If someone puts a microphone in your face, ask you, whatever, you don't have to respond. It is not a rule.
Starting point is 00:25:16 The rule should be, no, I'm not going to respond, but people do. and because they do, I thank them. The other rule is when you find things that say like drugs or money, you turn some in but keep something for yourself. That's a rule. You have to. You just have to. That's just a rule.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But I saw a video of, it was during spring break, and it was by a Trav Barnett on Instagram. I think that's him. I was asking people in the pool, you know, anything crazy. crazy happy and it happened in the past spring breaks and these two girls uh answer him now they break one rule but they they kind of you know hold true to another rule so and i don't even know if it's true the story they reference is true i don't know if what they're saying is true but it sure sounds like it they're all standing in like a wave pool uh drinking and partying and have a good time so they're
Starting point is 00:26:20 already, you know, a little intoxicated with probably with some other pieces of intoxication devices as well, but they're all holding a drink in their hands. And he asked them this question. What's the craziest experience you've had on spring break? We were in my pooch, like eight pounds of cocaine flew in and we stuffed it in our bikinis. And sold it. We're like almost millionaires now. So it was last in Miami from Cuba. Yeah, it came in like seaweed. Yeah, see, the story is true. It doesn't sound around. You can look it up, fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:58 All the cocaine have learned. Secret? Because it's not anymore. I know because it's like a year later. But at the time, no one was supposed to be on the beach and shove it in our bikinis. That is awesome. And it's awesome if it's true.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And it's also, I don't, the reason I don't think is true is because I think that if you actually did this, you wouldn't tell anyone, right? But, I mean, maybe you would, and they did. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the FACC that I just niche, who me energize so much, it's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini-regrouped,
Starting point is 00:27:54 what are good? And, the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre-to-donned. And I know that I'd love these offrary. But I guard the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm just the most ensemble the Cado dee of Fesferra desks to betes,
Starting point is 00:28:07 Shephora Clueyte, and other parts of VIT. Are you these formats, standard and mini, regrouped for a better quality of price. On link on SIFORA.com or in magazine. Who died today? Who died today? Well, we're going to begin with James Chance. James Chance,
Starting point is 00:28:26 a no wave pioneer and founder of the contortions, dead at 71. This is very sad news for me, because he was also known as James White. And one of my favorite albums, all-time favorite albums, is James White and the Blacks did an album
Starting point is 00:28:45 called Off White. And there's one song Contort Yourself. And he does another, he does a version of we're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. And he does a great version of that on that album. James White and the Blacks.
Starting point is 00:29:04 That's very sad. James Chance dead at the age of 71. Apparently, he, had been suffering from some kind of debilitating illness for quite some time. So there was a go-fund me set up by his brother. And you could, you know, donate money to James, if you'd like. It's for James Chance, in parentheses, James White. Very sad that James is dead.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And even, I mean, I just, I loved his work so much. And anyway, James Chance, or James. white dead at the age of 71. We don't have any really particular names, and that doesn't make it any less horrific, but hundreds of people have died this week in Saudi Arabia from a suspected heat-related illness while performing the Hajj pilgrimage.
Starting point is 00:30:01 The death toll is not immediately available. We don't know. Could be 550. It could be 600. That could be 700. We don't know how many people drop dead. Oh, okay. So the five-day Hage pilgrimage is a sacred Islamic journey to the city of Mecca involving a series of rituals.
Starting point is 00:30:17 It's one of the largest mass gatherings in the world. This year attracting over 1.8 million people. While details surrounding the reported deaths were not available, yeah, because we don't know. We don't know what happened. The temperatures were 125 degrees. Wow. According to this, there was 125 degrees in the shade. and over 2,700 people were confirmed to have been treated for heat-related illnesses.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Do you know when to come out of the sun? Security officers at the Hage have worked to reduce the threat of the deadly crowd surges. Heat is also increasingly a concern. So dates for the Hage follow the lunar calendar moving between seasons. And the researchers are warning the years, 2047 through 20, 2052 and 2079 to 2086 may pose a heightened heat risk for Hage Pilgrims. Not quite sure. I guess that's because summer is later in the season.
Starting point is 00:31:21 So it's going to be a lot more hotter or is that due to, of course, climate change. But just be prepared. And so if you're thinking about, you know, hey, let's make the track to Mecca, shall we? I don't know. Maybe is it against the rules to bring some extra water and maybe an umbrella for shade? I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Maybe it is against the rules. So maybe you just go at your own risk. So if you are going to do the five-day Hodge pilgrimage, prepare to go at your own risk. But rest in peace, do all the hundreds. We don't know how many people are. dead. But, you know, hey, rest and peace to them. And you know, yesterday, we gave you the news that Willie Mays had passed away. Willie May, the great Willie Mays, the Hall of Fame baseball
Starting point is 00:32:14 player, dead at the age of 93. Now, the Major League Baseball games that took place yesterday all observed a moment of silence before the first pitch. And so what needs to happen is that this should happen, I don't know, maybe at every baseball game from here to the end of the season. We give a short moment of silence for the great Willie Mays. Not just 15 games, but
Starting point is 00:32:41 every game could be a moment. Heather could be a moment of silence for the great Willie Mays. And maybe you add all the greats that died this year, I don't know, but you definitely need to do more than just one day of a day of silence for Willie Mays at the ballpark
Starting point is 00:32:57 for sure. Okay. And yesterday, as long as we're on things from yesterday, I talked about not seeing House of the Dragon yet Season 2, and I still haven't. Probably, I might have time today, but for sure this weekend. But I see where season 2, they were happy with the premiere episode, titled Son for a Son. It drew 7.8 million viewers across platforms,
Starting point is 00:33:22 including HBO and Max. I thought they were the same things, but that's what I get for thinking. They're not the same things. this is according to Nielsen and internal viewing figures from Warner Brothers Discovery. The debut led Max to bring in
Starting point is 00:33:35 its largest single-day audience to date with anticipation for the new season also boosting viewership for the inaugural season which tallied a million viewers the week leading up. Yeah, people were watching it to get refreshed on what was happening with the show. Okay, but also season two, the show's biggest audience in over 19 months.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. However, viewership for season two long, was down from season one premiere, which was 9.986 million viewers in August of 2022 and ranked as the largest audience of any new original series in the history of HBO. So are we just saying that these numbers are the best for HBO and Max? Or just Max?
Starting point is 00:34:22 It's just the debut lead Max to bring in its largest single day and the original aired on HBO, not Max. You guys, man, you guys breaking up these numbers are getting a little agonizing. Just talk about how many people are watching your shows, okay?

I see a video where a couple of bicyclists got hit by a car here in DFW to making the rounds.
Starting point is 00:35:17 They're out there riding. The camera is a rear-facing camera on a bicycle that's in front of the last two. So I don't know why the bicycle has a camera on it to videotape what's happening behind them, but it does. It's kind of weird to me. But it's lucky he had it because those damn automobiles. So this guy comes, you see the video, and they're on a service road by Dallas International Airport. Now, if you're not from Texas, the service roads, they set those up along the side of the highways. Because the interstates, the bicyclists are not going up on the interstate.
Starting point is 00:36:00 They will get run over there, and it will be their fault. Now the service roads people take to get around different places, and that's where you get to local businesses, and you get stuff like that, but that's also a way to get on and off the interstate. And so you see that it's a two-lane road, and you see the car coming up and wham, hits them both, and then he kind of takes off.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Now, according to the story, he ran off. But the other cyclists, and I don't know how many there were in the group, because they all, you know, hang out in groups. They chased down the vehicle, and the man was arrested by police. So I don't know if he didn't see him and then he just took off, or if he did see him and he hit him. Now, you know me and cyclists.
Starting point is 00:36:49 No one supports bicyclists more than me. I mean, I've gotten in trouble for making jokes about different things that could happen to buy cyclists. So that's just a terrible thing. I don't want to ever see that happen. So if you were to accidentally hit a bicyclist, I mean, you should stop. You should not try to run away.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Anytime you get in any kind of an accident, don't try to run away. That's very clear. But you should, you know, hit bicyclists. You should just drive as slow as possible behind them as they block the entire lane of the road when I'm trying to get by, and I should be happy about it. that's what should happen.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You shouldn't be angry. You should just relax and follow them until they decide which way they're going to go. That's what should happen. And you should use that advice as well. You know I enjoy talking about the Royals from time to time, right? I mean, you know that I... Okay, go ahead, go ahead. Can't talk about the Royals without the fanfare.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I got it. And is Kate Middleton dead or alive? I don't know. And I love to talk about it and think about it. She was around for Father's Day. And so was it her? Or was it Memorex? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:13 And those of you that get that joke, you get the joke. Those of you that don't, don't. Is it live or is it Memorex? However, I saw a clip yesterday. Alex Jones was out on the street. And he's asked from this guy at GB News. about the Royals. Now, I mean, Alex Jones,
Starting point is 00:38:35 if you don't know that Alex Jones gives a flying crap about the Royals, that you haven't listened to Alex Jones ever in your life. And maybe this reporter has never listened to Alex. He just knows, hey, that's Alex Jones. I got to get a sound bite from him. So he asked this, and man, it was an awesome man on the street interview. And knowing that as Alex Jones, you can't do the chewing the fat rule. you know someone puts a mic in front of your mouth
Starting point is 00:39:01 you can't say no you don't have to speak that's a rule just remember it at all times we fight we play people all the time that should have followed that rule everybody thinks they're smarter than they are everybody thinks they got it just because someone puts a microphone in your front
Starting point is 00:39:17 of your face doesn't mean you have to speak so but of course it's Alex Jones and he's going to speak go ahead what do you think about Kate Middleton you know I think the whole things crazy. I don't know what to believe. Because we lied to so much. Okay, so
Starting point is 00:39:33 right there, he'd be here with the beginning. Stop for just a second. We'll go back and let's like it. When I think about it, Cain Millenheim-Ock coming back, because it's Father's Day, she came back, right? When I think about Cade Meantley coming back. And there's some other lady there who I don't know who it is, but she does not like Alex. Alex is just, you know, blowing her off,
Starting point is 00:39:50 but she does not like Alex. She knows who he is, and she doesn't like him. So go ahead and start it again, okay? I know you are. What do you think about that Kate Middleton? You know, I think that whole thing's crazy. I don't know what to believe. Because we have lied to so much, who knows? You don't think she has enough?
Starting point is 00:40:07 Yeah, okay, get out of here, lady. I just stay out of that stuff because I see the Royals is a big distraction. I think people have a right to not believe she has cancer or thinks she does have cancer and I think she's dead. I don't know. We get lied to so much, who knows? Thank you. Good for you. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Well, they're inbred degenerates. King Charles is a eugenicist that says he hates humanity once he populate us. I think it's a sick, disgusting thing that it's imported over here for the newsstands in our media to drool over the inbred royals and to talk about them. And I just think it's disgusting. We had a war with England in 7076 to separate ourselves from it. I love it. So as far as I'm concerned, you know, the royals don't even exist. They're a pile of shit.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Thank you. Thank you. My name's Alex Best. I'm not sure about that. That's good. That's good. That was report. So it's just incredible.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I'm not sure about that. The interviewer, okay. I mean, that's what you get. That's what you get. And of course, Alex is going to be that way. Of course. It's the stupid imbred royals. For me, that's what's fun about it.
Starting point is 00:41:13 That's what's fun about it. It's fun when I talk about Camilla. It's fun for me to talk about that. I mean, that's just a rule. You know, you talk about Camilla. You have to play that. It's just a true and the fat rule. Anyway, but you're not going to get that from Alex.
Starting point is 00:41:32 It's Alex Jones. I don't know about that. Okay. All right. Thanks for stopping by. All right. This joke was given to me by Chris Cruz today. I don't know if he wrote it.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I mean, he literally handed it to me. So he did actually write the joke down on a piece of paper. But I don't know that he actually wrote the joke.
