Starting point is 00:00:36 So good news for those of you that are going to be traveling to Turkey. I was all ready to kind of make fun of Uber for using Uber balloons. The ride hailing app is going to, you're going to be able to book a balloon ride in Turkey. It's a 1.5 hour hot air balloon ride. and you're going to lift off at sunrise and go about 3,000 feet in the air, and it's in Turkey. Now, according to this, Turkey is one of Uber's most popular destinations among international travelers, and this is a new way to use our app to access a magical experience during your visit to the country. So, have fun.
Starting point is 00:01:27 If you are one of the people that have Turkey on your destination list, you now can use Uber to take a hot air balloon ride. And Uber is happy to do that for you. Man, there's nothing. Nothing I want more than to go to Turkey and take a hot air balloon at sunrise. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I feel like this happy.
Starting point is 00:01:57 ever so often. Didn't we just do a story about a lady, I think, in Arkansas that was gone and then she came home and they, no, it was her folks' house. And she came back to find out that someone had just knocked down the house. That's right. Well, this story is about a lady in Georgia. She was on vacation and she got a call and saying, hey, did you hire people to come? knock down your house? No, no, no, she didn't. She didn't do that. She was, her neighbor called and said, yeah, not real sure.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I went over and asked the guy, hey, what are you doing? And they told her to mind your own business. Hey, what did you say, hey neighbor, let's just shut up and find your own business, okay? We got an honest that they're down here. So remember, she's still on. vacation. So she sends a family member over to the property saying, hey, do you guys have a permit
Starting point is 00:03:03 to knock down this house that my family member owns and is on vacation right now? And that's when they said, yeah, you know what? We realized we're at the wrong address. So sorry. The company, you call it, we haul it,
Starting point is 00:03:19 admitted that, yeah, hey, sorry. Man, we're at the wrong place. So they just left. they just left. They haven't told anybody sorry, we don't know what the deal is. We just tore down the house and we're moving on. Now, the good thing is that the company says,
Starting point is 00:03:37 hey, we're currently working on a solution to the issue. Are you? Because I feel like the solution is taking away the rubble and building a new home. That's just me. And plus, you're going to replace what was inside, right? I mean, there's got to be family heirlooms. Anything, photos, anything.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Wow, I do not envy anyone to have to go through that. But it does seem like there should be some, I don't know, double-checking going on. Like, are you sure this is the house? Because it looks like there's still stuff in it. And it doesn't look like a house that should be knocked down. And maybe it does. Maybe the house is a crap hole. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I just find it weird that you would get a call saying, and somebody's here tearing down your house and then we just we were told to mind our own business so suddenly we sent a family member over and the family member said got a permit and they said you know what when that lady came over I told her to mind her own business
Starting point is 00:04:37 and then I took a look at the permit and I realized oh crap we're at the wrong house shoot all right guys wrap it up that is not a that is not optimal that is definitely sub-optimal so someone needs to apologize replace the house
Starting point is 00:04:57 and get this done. And then, of course, I bet you anything that the company, you call it, we haul it, just files for bankruptcy. So there's got to be some kind of responsibility placed on someone. I don't know who, but somebody needs to replace the house, right? And who's paying for where you live while the house is being rebuilt? You come back for vacation. You need a place to stay.
Starting point is 00:05:24 That's not cheap. I don't know if you know that. Amazing. Amazing how that, something like that could happen, but it obviously can because it did. Okay, so yesterday on my Twitter X account, I posted a video from Andy Bona, B-O-E-N-A-U, and I apologize for just butchering his name, but he posted a video about showed a bicyclist riding in a bike lane with a sign. And the sign is being carried because apparently that's the right length that vehicles are
Starting point is 00:06:06 supposed to pass by the bike. Are you not supposed to come any closer than where that sign is at? The video shows a bus trying to get to the farthest to the left over, but it's still not far enough to pass the guy's bike side. without hitting the sign and the bus driver hits the sign and knocks the bike rider over. Now, I will say that it was probably one of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a long time, in a long time. Now, only because the bicyclist wasn't harmed.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I mean, he probably got some, you know, some scrapes, but he wasn't harmed. And he posted the, he posted the video, which is now gone, by the way. Huh. People have posted snapshots from the video. but the video itself has been deleted from his account. Interesting, isn't it? Now, his tweet on X was, at this point, these signs is to show the legal passing distance.
Starting point is 00:07:09 There's a disturbing urge by Americans to watch this thinking they're supposed to cheer for the bus driver. No, I didn't think I was supposed to cheer for the bus driver, but I did enjoy what happened. Now, obviously, you know, it wasn't in America. I don't know why the video disappeared. People showed snapshots from it in the thread, but the video itself is gone.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Now, I will say this. I'm a fan of bicyclists. No one supports bicyclant more than me in chewing the fat. I've already had my run-in with the bicyclists of America, the bicyclists of Tampa Bay, and, you know, because I made a joke a long time ago about dinging one with my rear-view mirror. I even said in the comment that it was a joke, but that didn't matter because I already talked about digging a bicyclist with my rearview mirror.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It wasn't, and guess what? It wasn't funny then, and it's not funny now. Then I mentioned that, you know, he's riding along the highway as I'm trying to get to work, and it was right by Tampa Bay. If you know Tampa, Florida and St. Petersburg, Florida, I was on the, you know, on ramp to the Gandy Bridge, the St. Petersburg side. So if I were to have dinged this bicyclos with my rearview mirror, he would have just rode off into the, into the bay. I even said then that it was a jug. It didn't matter. It didn't matter.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And it wasn't funny. And to them. And I had, I even said as soon as I was done, just a joke. I'm just joking. It didn't matter. So, you know, I had the bicyclists on the show. I had to, you know, bend the knee. And I'm not bending the knee anymore, okay?
Starting point is 00:08:55 I want bicyclists to get off the road. However, I know that they're part of the roadways. I get it. And the sidewalks are not for bicyclists, although I believe they should be. They are for people walking and handicapped people. Got it. So, you know, you should give as much of a wide berth to bicyclists as possible.
Starting point is 00:09:17 But to think that they have the same, it just drives me insane. So this guy in the video, you see where he had plenty of, have room to get over in the bike lane at the time of the accident and the bus did not have room to get any more over to the left so if he had just slid over a little bit everybody would have been fine but he had a sign and we've got to be sure that that's as far as it's supposed to be that's the birth you're supposed to give me when i'm riding my bike so now the video is gone and
Starting point is 00:09:52 took a big hit on the internet on his Twitter feed. Now, Andy, on his ex-account, says simple truths about city planning and transportation. He's a writer, a filmmaker, infrastructure, storyteller. His website is Urbanismspeak-Easy.com. I'm sure he's a fascinating guy to talk to, and I really do mean that. I would like to talk to him. He probably would not talk to me, especially after I did enjoy the bus hitting the sign. The bus didn't hit the bicyclist. The bus hit the sign, which then threw the bicyclist out of kilter,
Starting point is 00:10:30 and he crashed down. But I will say that he's probably, Andy is probably fascinating to talk to. He's got some great ideas about urbanization. But the thread on this particular post on X was awesome. One guy that he tries to have a conversation with says, honestly the biker is wrong in every way here. The rides,
Starting point is 00:10:56 they ride specifically on the most edge of it plus has a silly sign sticking out. Andy asked, does your opinion change knowing that the sign indicates how much space motorists are to give when passing cyclists? Another person post on that. Let's be blunt.
Starting point is 00:11:13 The punk on the bike was looking for trouble. There was no need for this one bit. It just goes on and on. He's trying to have a conversation saying that, you know, obviously the bus should have waited for the bicyclist to continue
Starting point is 00:11:30 on. You know, the sign is saying, hey, you're supposed to give me that much of a wide berth. He, Andy comments, a little bit farther down the thread. It certainly brought out the road ragers. If anything, the squeals
Starting point is 00:11:46 of he had it coming are a reminder that physically separated routes for slow modes of travel are in everyone's best interest. That's fine. You know, it's not in America, so, you know, people are trying to make the case that clearly it's not America. I mean, so what?
Starting point is 00:12:05 And then one post from Taylor Day, which is completely wrong. Okay, completely wrong from Taylor Day. No matter how much you hate bicyclists, it's not enough. The thread. brought out definite bicyclist hate, which I do not have. I just want you to, you know, be on the lookout for yourself. I'll give you, I'll give you as much birth as I can. But if you're blocking an entire lane of the road and I need to get by, it's just frustrating
Starting point is 00:12:44 as all. It's just really frustrating. And you don't seem to care. All right there, I've done whining. Bicyclists, keep your head on a swivel. Automobile drivers, watch out for the bicyclists, okay? Be safe out there. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. For those of you listening live, today is the 23rd of October, 2023. And, you know, we've all seen how big tech censors people from demonetizing and suspending accounts to throttling content deemed misinformation by the so-called fact checkers. The scale of the problem is far worse than you might think. It's a constant threat that we battle every single day here at the Blaze, and we know it's only going to get worse in 2024. And you know, and if you don't know,
Starting point is 00:13:48 Blaze Media has been being demonetized over and over, and we've been willing to take the financial hit because these are stories you need to know about. But here's the problem. Every time a story is demonetized or labeled as misinformation, it gets suppressed and never reaches you through your search engines or social media feeds. Uh-huh. And we know heading into next year, it's only going get worse. Kind of sick of playing the game. So we have some big plans to fight back and that will make us more resilient and we're going to be announcing that very soon. So we couldn't do any of this without you. We'll let you know how you can continue to play a pivotal role. We're going to be sharing more details tomorrow the 24th of October, 2023. So it will help us be cancel proof and, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:42 the mainstream media is not doing their job. You know that. So that's why we solved that problem, or at least one of the problems with Blaze TV, which you can become a subscriber to blazedtv.com slash Jeffey. We'll get you some money off. Go to blazTV.com slash Jeffey. Use the promo code Jeffie to save some money. But we're also going to find a way to be more resilient
Starting point is 00:15:08 and bring that news to you through Blaze News. So stay tuned and pay attention to what's happening in the future. We'll have more details coming very, very soon. It says here tomorrow, the 24th of October. But then it says more news coming soon. So very soon, if not tomorrow, there will be more news on the Blaze News. So I was looking at the box office reports. Yeah, they sent me the reports, the ticket numbers.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And Taylor Swift is number one still at the box office. incredible that Taylor Swift is still number one. Killers of the Flower Moon, which I do want to see, but it's going to be, I mean, we've talked about it. It's going to be tough for me to get through with, with the two people that are just personally duches, Robert Dushnero and Leonardo Dush Caprio. So it's going to be tough. I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I do, but it's going to be tough. But that made $23 million. And Taylor still beat that. But I was looking at, you know, they kept saying that Taylor was bringing. breaking all these records, but I was looking at the top 10 concert movies, and she's still not number one. She's got a ways to go to beat Michael Jackson. So I was looking at how many of these I've actually seen, right? So number 10 is Glee, the 3D concert movie from 2011, 18.6 million.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I have not seen that. U2 3D in 2007, 22.7 million. I may have seen some of that. The Jonas Brothers, the 3D Concert Experience, 2009, 23.1 million. I have not seen that. But Donna, Truth or Dare, 1991, 29 million. I feel like I saw that. Katie Perry, part of me, 2012, 32.7 million.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I don't think I've seen that. I've seen bits and pieces of it. One Direction, this is us, 2013, $68.5 million. I have not seen that. Hannah Montana, and Lentana. Miley Cyrus, Best of Both World's concert, 2008, made 70.6 million.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I feel like I've seen bits and pieces, but I've not seen the whole thing. Justin Beaver, never say never, from 2011, $99 million bits and pieces. Taylor Swift, the Ares Tour, $123.5 million and counting. However,
Starting point is 00:17:30 number one, still holding strong. I mean, Taylor's got a ways to go. Michael Jackson's This is It from 2009, $261.1 million. Taylor might do that, but she's got a ways to go yet to beat the King of Pop. So good luck, good luck. You know, I'm going to have to write a book because everybody's out hawk of their books.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I see where Serena Williams has just signed a deal with Random House that includes an intimate memoir, so she soon will be writing her book. We have Britney Spears. her book is out, right? It hits bookshelves tomorrow. I'm told it's number one on the Amazon bestsellers list, thanks to pre-orders. The memoir, you know, she's talking about everything. We talked already about her having an abortion.
Starting point is 00:18:21 She talked about her quick marriage in Vegas is being reported. So there should be when she married Jason Alexander. So it should be some fun stories in there. That's already number one. Then we have Jada Pinkett Smith memoir that she's out hawking everywhere. and, you know, she even brought out, I mean, Will Smith, she's been yapping about Will and still loving him and how they never were divorced, but they weren't, they were living separate lives. And Will Smith showed up at one of her book signings or interviews or whatever to still profess her love, his love for her. So she, I mean, anything to sell this book for Jada Pinkett Smith.
Starting point is 00:18:55 So everybody's out hawking their book. So I'm going to have to, I don't have to write a book because I'm feeling left out. I know. I know it's just me. I get it. I'm just starting. to, starting to feel a little left out. You know, like, I'm sure the Hollywood actors are starting to feel a little left out. They're still on strike, and the major studios aren't talking to them. I guess they're going to go back to the negotiating table sometime this week and try to work out a deal, but we'll see how that works out for them, because it doesn't seem to be
Starting point is 00:19:24 working out very well. They worked out to deal with the writers, and now the studios are like, yeah, you know what? We don't like the way you're dealing with us, so we're not doing it. So good luck. I told you I want everyone to get exactly what they deserve. And whatever you deserve, that's what I want you to get. I see where Apple has canceled John Stewart's program. I only saw clips of the John Stewart program.
Starting point is 00:19:52 So I'm sure that it was great. And I'm sure people will tell me, hey, it was John Stewart and he was wonderful. I know his other show for years was great. had 8 billion writers, so it was so good. But I see where they're claiming that his increasingly popular show, okay, they agreed to part ways, and apparently it's because there were shows in this next season. He already done two seasons. I don't even know how many shows that equals on Apple TV, but we were heading into season three,
Starting point is 00:20:30 according to this. And he was going to do shows on China. Israel and artificial intelligence. And that's when Apple said, ooh, hey. Now, I thought he had creative control over the show. But guess the company was saying, yeah, you have creative control,
Starting point is 00:20:48 but yeah, we don't like what you're doing. So these guests and everything, we're not for that. But you go ahead and do what you want. Oh, okay. No problem. So no more John Stewart on Apple TV. I know.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Dry your eyes. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won!

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-8665-3-1-2-600-0 or visit comics, Ontario.ca. So who died today? Who died today? Well, we'll begin with Sir Bobby Charlton.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Sir Bobby Charlton, England World Cup winner and Manchester United Legend, dead at the age of 86. He won, I don't know, 49, he scored 49 international goals which were records for the country.
Starting point is 00:22:12 17-year first team career with United. He won three league titles, European Cup and an F.A. Cup. He passed away peacefully early in the morning, Saturday this past weekend. He has hailed as England's greatest player and an undisputed legend. Apparently, he was diagnosed with dementia, I don't know, two or three years ago, and that's probably what played an important role in his death.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So Sir Bobby Charlton, dead at the age of 86. Then we have Betsy Rawls. Betsy Rawls, eight-time LPGA major champion. I don't know that I guess she was an LPGA legend. Died at the age of 95. So rest in peace. Betsy Rawls.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Betsy joined the LPGA in 1951. Was that even an existence? Oh, he was a second year. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:17 So, fine. Congratulations to Betsy Rawls for her LPGA tournament victories. That's when she won her first tournament at 1952, which was the second year of the LPGA. She won 55 LPGA events in her storied career, which ranks her for the sixth most into her history. So Betsy Rawls became of the inaugural member class of the LPGA Hall of Fame at 1967.
Starting point is 00:23:47 so congratulations to Betsy Rawls and also rest in peace to Betsy Rawls dead at the age of 95. I mean, don't look at me like that. It doesn't say that's what she died of. She was 95. It said here in the story that she played golf until she was 92, only stopping when the COVID-19 pandemic began. So it doesn't say that she had anything to do with what you're thinking about. So just stop looking at me like that.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Then we have Rachel Chase. Rachel Chase, popular fitness influencer. She just passed away. She died at the age of 44. She was a big time influencer. She, you know, bodybuilder, exercise coach, had a bunch of followers on social media. She inspired millions of people around the world.
Starting point is 00:24:44 She was supportive, hearted. She had five children. A couple of them. She also had a pair of twins. She believed that if you were in a toxic relationship, get out, especially for the sake of the children. She said, if you know
Starting point is 00:24:59 you're in an abusive relationship and you don't have the courage to leave, do it for your children. Grab hold of whatever you need long enough to survive crawling out of that hole because I promise you it will be worth it. So Rachel Che is dead.
Starting point is 00:25:15 at the age of 44. Very sad. Now, I know what you're thinking. It says they don't say her cause of death. So it's under investigation. Okay? So I know, I know you're looking at me like I told it, but no, it doesn't say that.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It just says it wasn't revealed. So just stop thinking that. Okay. Now let's talk about, we'll add one more to the list of who died today. All right. Angel Hernandez, 16-year-old teenager. Yeah, well, 16 would make him a teenager, tragically collapsed and died at a cross-country meet moments after breaking his personal time record, according to local reports. Chisholm Trail High School had just completed a 5K district track meet in Haltam City in Tarrad County,
Starting point is 00:26:09 which is right at my neck of the woods, when he collapsed right after crossing the finish line. Now, some of you may say that's what you get for running. Not me, though. Not me. I would not say that for the old track and field. Go ahead, do whichever he's got to do. However, it doesn't say what he died of. He just collapsed and died right there.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Apparently, they did take him to a hospital because, I mean, I'm sure that the high school did not want him to die there. so they just he was still alive in quotation marks until they the ambulance got him to the hospital but it doesn't say uh that that's what killed him okay they just they don't know what killed him so stop looking at me like that it doesn't say that it does say though that he collapsed and then some friends went over and picked him up and dragged him over to the water fountain and then he took a drank from the water fountain, or at least they dragged him over to the water fountain, and then he collapsed again, then they took him to the hospital, and then they pronounced
Starting point is 00:27:18 him dead an hour later. Very sad. So rest and peace, all on our list today of who died today, Sir Bobby Charlton, Betsy Rawls, Rachel Chase, and of course Angel Hernandez, R-I-P. And I was reading an uplifting, an actual uplifting story today about Kevin Heinz, a guy by the name of Kevin Hines. So in the year 2000, he was 19 years old, and he wanted to end his own life. So he wanted, was going to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and did. He plunged over 220 feet. They claim he was, you know, when you jump off the bridge like that, you're traveling at 75 miles an hour or so. He hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae, narrowly missing, severing his spine by two millimeters. Now, he survived the impact.
Starting point is 00:28:11 which is incredible. Now, he realized that he wanted to stay alive. After he hit the water, he realized, you know what? I want to live. I want to live. So he tried to go to the surface, and the weight of his clothes kept pulling him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay, plus he was, you know, really injured.
Starting point is 00:28:31 So, and he said he kept struggling for what seemed like an eternity to resurface and grasping for air enough to hold on to life. suddenly he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water's surface where he remained until the coast guard arrived it was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived i mean eyewitnesses observed this happening so he has now become a motivational speaker and an advocate for suicide prevention. I would really like to talk to Kevin Heinz. That's an amazing story. Even more amazing
Starting point is 00:29:18 is that after he jumped and hit the water, then, you know, being injured so badly, he realized, I want to live. And then, all of the sudden, a sea lion saved him. So was it just a sea lion, or was
Starting point is 00:29:34 it something other than just the sea lion that kept him afloat? Huh. I wonder, isn't that how miracles are supposed to happen? Huh. Yes, it is. Pretty amazing. Pretty amazing.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Kevin Hines, a story from the year 2000. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. All right, so we're still looking for a speaker of the house in our house of representatives, and yet we get stories like this from our one representative, Sheila Jackson Lee, from Texas, Houston area. You know, video or I mean, so audio was caught of her profanity,
Starting point is 00:30:39 laid in abusive tirade on a staffer that she described as an effing idiot. Of course, that's who she is. That's who they all are. She's hurling obscenities and insults because the staff you know, won't do a G damn thing. She'd be ready and if you have a effing brain. And she's just a terrible person. That's just all it is.
Starting point is 00:31:06 It's just a terrible person. But I also want to talk about someone who's not a terrible person. Someone who is actually talking about great stories and America is great. I couldn't believe it. So I see this clip posted with from Jim Jordan, who was doing a quick press conference. Now, apparently Jim Jordan is out now.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Nobody wants him. He's got a, you know, he's too good of a guy to be speaker of the house, I guess. Too good. But his speech the other day, and it was just a little five-minute clip of him talking about going to dinner and going to where the Wright brothers flew the plane, on how good America is and what a great country America is was awesome. And we need more people talking about the great. of America, living the American dream.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Here's Jim Jordan, a congressman from Ohio. A few years ago, Paula and I got a call from some friends, living in the Dayton, Ohio area. We live about 40 miles north of there, and they asked if we were free to go to dinner with him on a few nights later, and we said, sure. And they said, before we go to dinner,
Starting point is 00:32:13 we're going to tour the Wright Brothers' homes. And we said, great. We enjoy history. Let's learn about these amazing two Americans. And so we go there and you paid the lady at the door $5 from the Historical Society. And you go on this tour and you learn all these amazing things about the Wright brothers. You learn about the bicycle shop and the other things, the gadgets and gizmos they tinkered with and built. Fascinating tour.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Last stop on the tour is Orville Wright's bedroom. And they tell you a few more things about this particular Wright brother. And then they close the story. the tour out by showing you two pictures. First picture they hold up that very first flight 1903 and Kitty Hawk North Carolina in this thing they called a plane. Pretty cool. And you first the first thought you see that how did that thing get off the ground? And the truth is it barely did. It flew like a hundred feet, got a few feet off the ground. And you're thinking about that. You sort of remember that picture from eighth grade, ninth grade, wherever they did teach that school.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah, we've all seen that picture. Absolutely. I thought, well that that's amazing. They put that picture down and then they hold up a second picture. 44 years later, 1947, Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in a jet. Incredible. And I was like, wow, that I didn't know. That's amazing. And 44 years we go from two guys flying 100 feet to another American, breaking the sound barrier in a jet. That was the end of the tour. They put that picture down and Polly and I start walking out. Right. And so he's already incredible, but just think of this. Now, he's still loving on America. I'm waiting for him to take the turn.
Starting point is 00:33:58 But Americans didn't actually do this, but he doesn't. He goes on. Wait a minute. Hey. Wait a minute. Why did they stop there? I represent Wapakoneta, Ohio, Allglaise County, Ohio, hometown of Neil Armstrong, who 22 years after Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier, steps on the moon. Think about it. Stop and think about it.
Starting point is 00:34:23 In 66 years, one lifetime, we went from two guys flying 100 feet to putting a man on the moon. It is a great country. A great country the greatest country in my judgment made up of great people. And right now those people I think
Starting point is 00:34:40 are starting to doubt and wonder about their government and about where our nation is headed. That's where I disagree with Jim. We're way past. Doubting. We are there, Jim. But awesome.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I mean, that is unbelievable. That's what we need more of. People that who appreciate and love America. That's just, that's just amazing. But he's too good to be Speaker of the House. Just remember that the next time you hear the talking heads on mainstream media tell you,
Starting point is 00:35:12 Jim Jordan is, he's too good. He's got 100% rating on conservatives. No, we don't like Jim Jordan. He, you know what Jim Jordan did once? he shook hands with Donald Trump. That bastard. Just remember, he at least loves America. Yes, the same America that won't allow you to post a picture of Hitler anymore.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I guess we can't even look at him anymore. I'm not sure what the deal was at Michigan State University, their football stadium, they're at a football game this weekend. Against the Michigan Wolverines, by the way, and they got their butt and kicked. And some would say, well, yeah, that's because Michigan, cheated knows all the signs. That's another investigation that we could get into at a later point as well. However,
Starting point is 00:35:55 my whole point behind this is that on their stadium video boards there was a quiz before the rivalry game. And then everyone posted a picture of Hitler on the video board. I don't know what the quiz was. I don't know what
Starting point is 00:36:11 the deal was. It was just a picture of Hitler so we can't have a picture. We can't show Hitler at all. Not during these times, Jeff. Israel is at war with Hamas and the world hates Jews so that's why okay so the image goes viral with no information on what it was just I can't believe they had to show this at the stadium the picture of the Hitler picture at the stadium was early on because there's nobody in the stadium and when you look at the stands there was very few people in the stands which wasn't the case during the game
Starting point is 00:36:45 so so that went viral and the university then said, oh man, we are so sorry for the content that was displayed. This is not representative of our institutional values. Well, I mean, okay, if you say so. And they also said that the university would stop working with the third-party source that provided the quiz content and strengthen its approval procedures going forward. So good. We learned that we don't have to ever see a picture of Adolf Hitler again in any kind of quiz, ever. Now, was it, you know, kind of bad timing? I guess.
Starting point is 00:37:27 But if it was just a quiz pre-game up on the video board, we can't show a picture of Hitler? Seems a little harsh, but, okay, just know that they've apologized. And they are deeply, deeply sorry for the content that was displayed. And it is not representative of their institutional values. Now, they're really sorry that the content was displayed and then went viral on social media. That's what they're sorry about. But anybody, I digress.
Starting point is 00:37:57 So, you know, the third-party source out of the job in East Lansing doing their video board service. And the University of Michigan, or the Michigan State University is going to have someone else be responsible with those approval procedures going forward. So somebody's got a new job out of it. And you can go out and celebrate today. Today is National Crock Day. Yay! And the $120 crock classic cowboy boots that we talked about a couple of weeks ago are now out. The crutes are now out.
Starting point is 00:38:33 You can pick those up. Crocs, the casual footwear since 2002, created in Boulder, Colorado, as a form of a boat shoe is now worn everywhere. over a billion crocs have been sold in over 90 countries each year, each year. Oh, my gosh. There are over 120 styles available for men, women, and children with the signature shoe being the classic clog. So go on out there and celebrate Clogmania on National Croc Day. Wow, National Croc Day.
Starting point is 00:39:14 And I'll leave you with this. which is really funny. Have you ever realized that you wanted to listen to some audio on your phone, but you were somewhere in your home and then you realized that you had your phone, Bluetooth to a speaker in, you know, the bathroom or the back room or the garage or the bedroom, wherever you have your speakers set up to Bluetooth, right? And so this one has something to think about it. And I don't ever want it to happen to you, but I don't ever want it to happen, especially to me.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I read this post and I hope this is just a joke and not real. I sure hope this didn't happen because it would just be, well, it would have been hilarious if you would have been there. This is the post. Y'all, I don't want to be on this planet anymore. I was on the toilet when my friend sent me a triple X video. I played it, but there was no sound. I increased the volume to the highest, but still no sound. I watched it for eight minutes before I remembered my phone was connected to.
Starting point is 00:40:14 of the Bluetooth player in the living room. My family and our guests are waiting for me. I've been on the toilet for eight hours now. Man, you know, I wish that actually is true, and I was in the living room just listening to the audio. That would be hilarious.
