How are you today? No, I wasn't waiting for an answer. I was just asking because I don't. I mean, I care, but I don't. really care. We've covered that on the show before. I care, but it takes a lot for me to really care. I just want to be clear, last week, we found out that between 8 p.m. and 11.30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 8th, unknown suspects entered a storage warehouse at the Army Reserve Center in Tustin. That's in California, by the way, and they're dealing with some other issues in the state of California.

talk about as this show progresses. But at this particular Army Reserve Center in Tustin, multiple storage lockers were discovered with locks removed and missing gear. An attempt was made to cut a lock to uniform storage, however, that was unsuccessful. They couldn't get into the uniform storage. A fence was cut to gain access to a military vehicle parking lot where three Humvees were stolen. The suspects left the area at an unknown time. The Army has informed us, this is the person reporting on the story, that there's no known loss of weapons or ammunition or other than what was listed below. Oh, so, no, known. As we can report right now, three Humveys, one armored with an administration numbers, and they list the administration numbers for the armored Humvee model and the cloth door Humvee model.

and the cloth door Humvee models, eight machine gun vehicle mounts, seven freestanding machine gun tripods, medical equipment, 40 pairs of binoculars, 18 bayonets. But we've, for sure, right now, well, we don't know, actually.

We're just saying no known loss of weapons or ammunition, but we'll just take their word for it, I guess. What happened did the gate guard just fall asleep for three and a half hours? Or was there no gate guard and no alarm? And someone forgot to turn on the ring camera at the front gate. I really don't understand how this could happen on a Army Reserve Center. But it did. And I want to be clear, I had nothing to do with it.

But someone did. And man, you never, you see the, The Army Humvees driving down the road. You don't think to yourself, hey, are those stolen? Well, now maybe you should. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.

Celebrate good times. Come on. Kick it's a stupid song out of my head. There's a party going on right now. Celebration to last throughout the years. cool in the gang. Today marks the opening of India's Maha Kumba Mela Festival.

Yes! That may be the India's Maha Kummela festival. I don't know how to pronounce that correct. I don't know if it's Mela or Mela, so whatever it is, I apologize. I know it's a festival. And it's going to be one of the largest gatherings in history. A projected 400 million visitors

will participate in the pilgrimage over the next six weeks. The officials in India have set up a temporary 10,000-acre city, including 150,000 tents, 3,000 kitchens, and 99 parking lots. No word on how many railroad tracks are coming into this festival. The Hindu pilgrimage, we've all seen the trains full of people. The Hindu pilgrimage occurs once every three years at a rotation of, four traditional river sites with the most sacred occasion taking place in the city of Prajagra,

formerly Al-Ahabat in the country's most popular state of Uder Pradesh every 12 years. I know those names. I don't want to hear from the computer girl. I just, I know they're wrong and I got it. So the sprawling pop-up economy of vendors supports participants as they ceremonially bathe in the Ganges River to wash away their sins and attend talks and discussions with religious leaders. So I guess because the ruling party now in India said that their priority is reclaiming Hindu traditions from Islamic influences in the country, they're making this

a huge deal. And they want to shut down any of the Islamic influence. in India. I mean, 80% of the population is Hindu, so seems to be probably an easy thing. So have fun. And it's a celebration going on to last throughout the years in India for the next six weeks. And as long as we're, you know, in India, we might as well stick with news from India since I continue to read the news updates happening in India. So in lucky, now, and I love Lucknow this time of year, beginning January 26th. So we are, you know, a few days away, a couple of weeks away. Riders of two-wheeler's, that would be, I guess, motorcycles and bicycles, may not get fuel. Oh, yeah, well, not bicycles because you don't need fuel. So riders of

two-wheelers, which would be motorcycles and mopeds, may not get fuel at filling stations in Lucknow. Why not? If you have to have beef, found with a helmet or protective headgear. Oh, okay. So they're instructed strict enforcement of the no helmet, no fuel policy. They are giving, oh, I see, they're telling them they got a couple of weeks because you want to have a, you need two weeks to hang big signs. Petro pop operators have been given a timeline to install large sign boards highlighting the

new policy at their premises. It will be mandatory for two-wheeler riders and passengers to wear protective headgear, conforming to BIS standards, as per Section 129 of the Motor Vehicles Act in 1988 and Rule 201 of the utter British Motor Vehicles Rules 1998. Violations will be punishable under Section 177 of the Motor Vehicles Act, so things are great in India. To prevent disputes, operators must also ensure fully functional CCTV cameras at petrol stations, for monitoring and resolving conflicts.

The directive reinforces the state's earlier announcement to enforce the no helmet, no fuel policy statewide, to reduce the rising number of road accidents. So if you're wearing a, I don't know that it will reduce the rising number of road accidents, it may reduce the number of people who are severely injured if they get into an accident, but that's what they claim anyway.

And I would say that if you pulled up, without a helmet. Perhaps they tell you, no, we can't give you fuel, ride around back and we have a helmet there. You can then drive out front and fill up your tank and then give us our helmet back. We rent helmets out back. And so we tag on another, I don't know, five cents a gallon for you to rent the helmet. and if you drive away with the helmet, we're going to go, we got your license and we'll get you later. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm not saying that that's going to happen. That probably goes against the rules of India, especially in luck now. But I would, you know, at least give it a shot. They give numbers for the, officially recorded in the Uttar Pradesh, officially recorded 36,875 cases of Rodak. accidents in 2022, in which 21,696 persons suffered injuries, while 24,109 lost their lives,

according to central government figures. In Lucknow, this is a couple of years ago now, 2022, Lucknow logged 1,408 cases of accidents in which 994 people were left injured and 643 dead. Wow. So this will hopefully curb some of those numbers. and more specifically in luck now. So no helmet, no fuel. That sounds like fun.

And if you're on your way, you know, well, the big party is going to be still going to be ongoing January 26. So maybe you don't, if you're on your way there now, you can get away with not wearing a helmet and refilling your, refilling your motorbike. But after a couple weeks, if you're on your way to the celebration, wear a helmet because you won't be able to fill up your two-wheeler without it. It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now.

So according to this, Santa Ana winds are going to bring more danger to southern California. Apparently, the strong dry winds that fueled the wildfires last week have returned. I didn't realize they went away. I guess they calmed down some so they were able to do some serious firefighting.

with their airplanes this past weekend. But the threat of continued spread remains high through at least the middle of this week. If you're listening live today is the 13th of January, 2024. As of this report, there are at least 24 people who have died, and over 12,000 structures have been destroyed. Wow. I mean, that's, and I don't even know if that's right.

I mean, it could be more. I mean, you have the Eaton fire, the Palisades Fire, plus, look, the Eaton Fire, they claim is 27% contained. The Palisades Fire is 13% contained. I don't even know if that's true. And it only takes a strong wind to kick that up again and get it uncontained again. It's just tragic. It's just so tragic of what is happening. in California, no question.

And it's almost unbelievable, but it is believable. So many things are being postponed or moved out of California. Grammy Awards are facing postponement. The Producer Guild Awards, all the glad-handed that Hollywood likes to give themselves, that's all been postponed.

The award season has been postponed, so I can't wait until they bring all those award seasons back after the fire. It'll be great. SAG after us said they've donated, I don't know, million dollars to disaster relief. Disney has donated $15 million to support disaster relief. I mean, everyone will be donating a lot of money. Be sure, we need to keep an eye on all this money

that goes to presumably, helping California and this disaster of where it goes. That's why it's important to have a place like Mercury 1, where we can track all the money and we know where everything is gone, 100% of your donations go to a particular disaster area. We're still in the Carolinas. We're still in California. We're still in Florida.

And we still have other tragedies around the country going on as we speak and around the world. And so it's just, this is going to be amazing. And there's going to be billions of dollars given to support this California tragedy. And that's good. And I'm happy that it's going to happen. And I'm sorry that this happened to whoever it happened to. But we do need to keep an eye on where this money goes and who handles it and how it's spent. Because we see what's happened in the past. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Uh, yeah. There's only, oh, did we, we forget to, we forget to fill the water tanks?

Gosh, darn it. Have we cut millions of dollars to help over here? Gosh, darn it. Have we hired all these people that have no idea what they're doing and running these departments? Yeah. And we're going to let those people spend the money that we're giving to help these, uh, disaster victims?

I don't know. I don't necessarily like that, to be honest. Maybe that's just me, but I don't necessarily like that. And then this weekend, my wife said to me, you should really talk to the, you should really talk to the geological people, because what happens when there's earthquakes? That's a good question.

I don't have a geological expert on, to talk to you here on chewing the fat, but I will say we did get a 50-hour, warning of a major earthquake is likely in southern California, most likely in Los Angeles, or Ventura County during the next 50 hours between 012 and 013. So that would be, I don't know, today. So does that mean we're going to have all kinds of underground fires then? And I know that we got fact checked on, I'm sorry, readers added context on X. On neither the USGS, nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake.

We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future. So this is from an X account earthquake prediction, at quake prediction. So, okay, so that's fine. There's no way to predict it, but it would not surprise me that this happens. And if it were to happen, does that mean that we're going to have underground fires to deal with and continue on forever and ever. I mean, holy cow. And you want to talk about disaster.

What happened when we have a, if we have a major earthquake in that area right now? Wow. It does not sound like something I want to be reporting on. So then I see where TMZ caught up with actresses Yvette Nicole Brown and Kim Whitley. And they went off on this TMZ guy. Now, I know they're somewhere in California. I just don't know, somewhere where there aren't fires.

And they're coming out of what looks to be a pharmacy or a drugstore. They've got a, Yvette is carrying a package of toilet paper coming out of the store. So they had to make a TP run for the house. I don't know. And I don't know if these two are a couple or if they're just friends out shopping for toilet paper. I don't know. Listen, before we go to lunch, I got to stop and get some toilet paper at the Walgreens. I don't know.

But here they are in front of this drugstore, in front of some sort of store. And Yvette and Kim go off. And they are loving Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. And guess what? If you criticize Karen Bass, you are, guess what? Say it with me now? Yes, a racist. Let me tell you something.

She's got a spine of steel. And she's also been a black woman in America, very much. long time so none of this is going to do her. We're mad because we're tired of it. We're mad for her. We're mad for her and we're going to stand, listen, I don't know how you hear, but I'm happy you're here. Because somebody needs to say, you know, behind her and support her. Because how is she handling them? You can see it in her face. Kim starts taking over the conversation here and Yvette just puts her head down like, girl, I was talking. So Kim will get back to it. But right now,

well, Kim is going off. Yvette will get back to it here soon. She still wants to say her peace. But right now Kim is taking over. Come on. But think about this. She has the city to take care of. She does not have time to hear from those reporters.

And she is also not mayor of every municipality in California. There are people that are mad that she didn't fix the fires in Malibu. She's not the mayor of Malibu. What is she supposed to do in the city? She's not the mayor of. That's a good point. But, you know, that doesn't change. the fact that she is

incompetent at her job what she is responsible for, but I digress. People don't understand. And let me say this too. I can imagine how much it would hurt to see this happening in the city that she loves. That's first.

So take away how it feels for people to attack her. She's heartbroken because this is happening in her city, a city that she loves. And the people to understand, they don't understand how large it is because a lot of people are sitting in other parts of the city. They're not.

in it. They're not in the fire. They're not in the smoke. They don't see. They're not there. They're watching TV. Why? And they want to blame for them. This is not to time. I will say this particular place, I can't make out what store it is. But the shopping

cards have the long pole on the back, so they're not supposed to be taken out of the store. And yet these people are, you know, tipping it up so that they can squeeze it out the door. So, I'm just sure what neighborhood we're in, but the particular store

doesn't want you taking their shopping carts out of the store. You take your goods and then you stop at the door because it won't let you out. But it does let you out if you just bend it down, push down on the back handles and just go out the door on an angle. So now they have employees bringing the carts back into

the store on an angle because people have taken them out. It's just funny to me. To blame, it's time to get some resources. She has reached out far. We have planes coming in from other countries to help us. Yes, we do. This is not the time.

I need everybody to remain calm, be vigilant, just support the leadership. Let her do her work. Amen. That's all I can say. You cannot, it's not the time. Ooh, y'all have got me upset. She's had a great response so far to the fires. Absolutely.

Absolutely. She's got what she's had to do. She's jumped in there. Oh, there goes another card out the door. Okay, I got to stop for just a second. That goes another card out the door. People push it out an angle so they could take it out of the store. That's supposed to go out of the store.

You didn't have some kind of electrical thing or something. People are breaking the cart rules. Remember, in the 30 years almost that I've lived in LA, I've never seen somebody, everybody react like this to the man. Really? For a natural disaster. Yes. I've never seen it.

Now, what's different this time? I wonder, what is different this time? You've never seen that, you've had, in your life. Well, maybe in particular in Los Angeles, but we certainly have seen it around the country. Haven't we, Yvette? Oh, yes, we have. What's the first one that comes to mind? What's the first one, if there's any, if there's any at all?

Because I'm sure there's not, Yvette. I'm sure there's not an example of that ever happening in the 30 years that you've lived in L.A. or lived in the United States, because I'm pretty sure that you, as well as the mayor, have been a black woman in this country for a very long time. That's a weird way of putting that. As Bass, she was born here, right?

I honestly, I don't know that. Now, she was up for a vice president, which they ditched her in place of Kamala. They ditched Karen Bass in place of Kamala Harris. That actually should tell you a little bit something about Karen Bass when she got the boot for Kabala. How bad are you for that gig?

All right, that's enough. I can't talk about the disaster anymore. It's very sad. And I don't know how you're here, but we're glad you're here. I want to quote Yvette Nicole Brown. I don't know how you hear. Why you're here, but we're glad that you are.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. So, those of you living in Nebraska, New Mexico, and Arizona may have experienced this weekend pulling into the old Dunkin Donuts or I don't call themselves Dunkin Donuts anymore, sorry, into Duncan and asked for, you know, donuts, the thing that they're famous for. And I'm sorry, we're out. Sorry about that.

You have some coffee if you'd like. and I might have a I might have a couple of little munchkins available but I got no donuts I got the thing that you know gets punched out of the donut I don't have the donut

so sorry he's have to come back later it's a temporary thing so apparently according to Duncan which based in Massachusetts they had some sort of issue with one of their suppliers and that created a shortage in a few locations but not across the

entire country and so that's what the spokesman for Inspire Brands said don't forget Duncan was purchased by Inspire Brands for 11.3 million in 2020 which seems like nothing nothing for duncan It's $11.3 million for Dunkin' Donuts. Man, that seems. I remember talking about this now when it happened. That seems cheap. I mean, they have 3,100 Duncan locations in Massachusetts. New York has 4,287 locations.

And then you go, you know, stretch across the country. It's amazing that they only spent 11.3 million. Anyway, I'll get off that. But just know. if you were in Nebraska or New Mexico or Arizona and you were pissed that you're at the drive-through saying, yeah, I'd like a dozen donuts. And you were told, yeah, sorry, we don't have any donuts. We're out right now.

And I don't know when we're, I don't know when they're going to come in. I can serve you some coffee and maybe a few of the munchkins that we have here. But no donuts. Sorry. how angry you were I just know it was temporary they just had a supply issue that's all

I see all your emails. I do read them. I don't reply to all of them, but I do see them. Thank you very much. And I appreciate those of you continuing to send jokes of the day, even if you don't write them yourself. But I appreciate it and I see them and I may use them. And in fact, I have something that will be coming up, you know, used on the show from emails for joke of the day here on chewing the fat. However, I think what I'm going to do, I was thinking about this this weekend. And I'm either going to do it on YouTube or X, but I think I'm just going to record a joke of the day video on X or on my YouTube page, the YouTube shorts, and just do a joke of the day there. And that way, you know, you could, those of you that listen to chewing the fat, you can, you can. You can listen to chewing the fat, but you'll also, you know, be able to hear the joke of the day and then go back.

You can do that on chewing the fat as well. Anyway, I'm just thinking about something different as all. I just want to change it up a little bit, and I'm either going to change it up by doing the joke of the day on X video form or on YouTube video form. And if it's really, really good, it may end up on this particular. show. But until then, I'll do a joke of the day today. Don't worry. Relax. Calm down. Settle down. Take a sip of your dunk and coffee without your donut. And relax. But it's going to happen sooner or later. So I'm just, you know, I'm just giving you an update, FYI. So the Landman is now over. I watched the season finale yesterday. It, I don't know.

You know, it was okay. It was okay. I love the show, and there was definitely a couple of things that happened that you knew were going to happen. I'm tired of hearing everyone complain about the wife and the daughter. That character and characters are awesome to the show. They mean, I love them. I love them. They make me laugh. I love them.

And, I mean, I watched the show with my father-in-law, and he loves the Bentley that she drives. It was given to her as a gift from her second husband. But anyway, it's a beautiful Bentley, no doubt about it. And my father-in-law's like, oh, I would love to have that car. I want that car. Never mind, the hot babes riding in it. Oh, no, I want that car. And so they're a great part addition to the show.

Now, the season is over. There's been some great scenes in it. And, you know, we saw the one scene where Billy Bob made the big point about oil. and he just made another scene in this episode that was remarkable. And everyone who is, you know, all for oil, was all for this scene. Now, this is the two main characters,

Rebecca and Tommy, who is Billy Bob Thornton and Kayla Wallace. Now, they were in the scene that was the last time with the windmill scene. And so they're fighting. They're going to make, Kayla, I'm sorry, they're going to make Rebecca. She's an attorney and she's the company attorney,

and they're going to make her now a new kind of attorney to write up deals for the oil company. And Billy Bob has just become the vice president. And in fact, he's in charge now because what's his face, John Hamm is incapacitated. And she doesn't want to really do what he wants her to. do and this is this scene he's got a couple of his workers there one of them is a dale who actually lives in the same house that he does if you haven't seen the episodes and so he's there and you're going to hear from him in this episode as well but uh it's awesome you pumps what's wrong with these you mean wells too shallow how deep do they need to be Dale between 10 and 13,000

But you got to drill at an angle and then you got to frack it. Frack it. You shoot a shit ton of salt water down hole and you squeeze all that oil out of the fractures. Then you pump it up, separate the water. Technology, it changed the game out here. Yeah, isn't this the technology that's causing earthquakes in Oklahoma? There were earthquakes in Oklahoma before fracking, ma'am. Okay.

Tommy! Look, I understand. I don't think anyone should be doing this, all right? I think it should be illegal. Well, then you should have run for Congress. instead of getting a job with an oil company. I just... I have a very hard time

advocating for something I believe is wrong. Says the lawyer. Nothing bad don't factor into this, Rebecca. Our great grandparents built a world that runs on this ship right here. Until it starts running on something else, we've got to feed it. Or the world stops.

I think about it. Hey. One more thing. There is an alternative. You can throw your phone away and trade that Mercedes in for a bicycle or a horse and start hunting for your own food and living in a tent. She'll be the only one and it won't make a damn bit of difference. Plus, I hear the moral high ground gets real windy at night.

And he rolls up his window. He rolls up his window and drives away. Awesome. What a tremendous scene. Landman on Paramount Plus Taylor Sheridan show. Now, let me, can I just say one thing too? Landman and the other Taylor Sheridan show, Lioness. You know, I enjoy him.

them. Fine shows. It's Taylor's work. I like his work. He needs, and you can reach out to me, he can email me, join the fat at the blaze.com. He can, you know, reach out and I'll give him my number. And Taylor, you know, we can sit down and talk a little bit. You do a terrible job on your show's music, okay? Let's just be clear.

The music open for Landman and the music for Lioness, in particular, these two shows, really stinks. Your show music really, really stinks. So you need help on that a lot. And I know you're the man and I know you, you know you run everything and you're the guy. And we all believe that Taylor Sheridan is, you know, they all seeing, all-knowing God of television these days. But you need help picking out the music for the shows. Okay.

The cause of death was post-surgery complications. Oh, that's never good. Remember a hold down on common, soul man. I mean, those were top hits. from Sam and Dave. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and received the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Honor in 2019. Sam Moore, dead at the age of 89.

Then we have Leslie Charlson. Leslie Charleston, you remember Leslie. If she's one of those, she's another one that you'd go, oh yeah, her. She's best known for playing Dr. Monica Quartermain on General Hospital. She has passed away at the age of 79. Now, her cause of death officially has not been announced,

but she left a general hospital, I think, in 2023 because of health issues. So she was having some serious health issues for the last couple of years. So very sad. And again, Leslie is, when you see Leslie, you'll go, oh, yeah, her. She has passed away at the age of 79. Then we found out that singer Anita Bryant, Anita Bryant, dead at the age of 84. Now, had you asked me before today, hey, Anita Bryant, dead or alive, I probably would have said dead. I did not realize she was still alive.

But she was, and she was living in Oklahoma, and she has now passed away at the age of 84. She's remembered, of course, for being this anti-gay rights crusader. But she was a big-time singer for years. She worked for the citrus industry out of Florida for years. She toured with the U.S.O. For years. She was a big-time star. I remember the one stupid song she sang,

Paper roses Oh God That god That god awful song Anyway she was a huge star And the fact she was I think Did she end up being

Was she Miss America For sure she was Miss Oklahoma Because she was born in The great city of Barnesville, Oklahoma Lovin'Barnsdale Oklahoma Did she become Miss America Or just Miss Miss Oklahoma

She was Runner up Oh second runner up Well that means That third place For 1959 Miss America pageant Okay

And that's when she was 18 Wow in 1950s That's 100 years ago But you know Then she did all this stuff She was so So full of talent And all we remember her for

Is her anti-gay rights crusade And because of that She had to She had to file for bankruptcy two or three times in life. She really struggled. So it all started back in 1977 for Anita Bryant. And Dade County, Florida, Miami area, passed an ordinance sponsored by Bryant's former friend, Ruth Shaq, that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Bryant led the campaign to repeal that ordinance. as the leader of a coalition named Save Our Children, and she was especially concerned about the fact that the ordinance risked authorizing homosexual people to work in Christian schools and become role models because her own children were enrolled there. The campaign was based on conservative Christian beliefs regarding the sinfulness of homosexuality and the proposed threat of homosexual recruitment of children

and child molestation. Oh, huh, isn't that weird? Isn't that weird? She also said that the idea of the gay community recruiting children through child abuse to become homosexual themselves. I mean, even her friend had to distance themselves from her because she was just being hammered by the world.

She said that the recruitment of our children, children is absolutely necessary for the survival and growth of homosexuality. For since homosexualities cannot reproduce, they must recruit and must freshen their ranks. That bitch! I mean, and that's all she's remembered for, man. The anti-gay rights crusader. And really, it was just all about trying to keep those damn gays away from her kids. And it was never ending then.

I mean, no matter what she did, she was the anti-gay rights observes crusaders. So Anita Bryant, dead at the age of 84. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What?

We already knew that Notre Dame was going to take on the winner of Ohio State and Texas when last we chatted here on chewing the fat and then Ohio State defeated Texas. They destroyed Texas.

They beat up Texas. It was a good game, really, except for, you know, down to the end. But Ohio State dominated that game. So it's going to be Ohio State taking on the Notre Dame Fire at Fighting Irish for the National Championship next Monday. Wow, next Monday is a huge day. We'll see. Next Monday is, I don't know, the 20th of January, 2025. We have the presidential inauguration.

It's MLK's birthday, which is a high. holiday, right? We have the national championship going on Monday night. So it's a busy day. And I'm sure there's plenty of people that are going to be in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration that are going to end up, you know, maybe hopping a quick flight down to Atlanta for the national championship. Should be fun. I don't know. I'm not sure who I'm going to choose yet to win that game. You know, I don't necessarily really like Ohio State. I was raised to dislike Ohio State. And I'm not really, I don't care either way about Notre Dame. It's fun to watch them.

So I may actually be rooting for Notre Dame, but I don't think they can beat Ohio State. We'll see. We'll see. It's been incredible. It's been a fun season. I can't believe college football, I mean, we're one week away from it being over.

And I know there's the senior game and the East Bowl shrine or whatever the hell they call it. But, no, I mean, college football is officially over next Monday. and the season has done. Very, very, very, very sad. And then we had the National Football League. And the playoffs have started. So we have, you know, Houston defeated the Chargers

and Baltimore defeated Pittsburgh. Buffalo defeated Denver, for sure. And Philadelphia defeated Green Bay. And sadly, sadly for me, Washington defeated Tampa Bay. last night. Very sad. I want to see Tampa Bay move on and they did not. Man, they got to do something about that defense. Man, I don't know. You know, you don't think about Tampa Bay. You think about their defense. And now it's just the opposite. And I don't know what Coach Bowles has got in

mind. I mean, he's taken into the playoffs for three years in a row now. But boy, Washington didn't piped in one once. I know this isn't a sports show, so I won't get into too big a details, but it was just, it was tough to take Tampa Bay losing last night. So anyway, we have a game left with a playoff wildcard weekend. Minnesota and the Los Angeles Rams are playing tonight. They're playing, obviously, the big news is that they're playing in Phoenix

because of the fires in California. So the winner of that game will take on the Philadelphia Eagles. And then so next week you'll have Minnesota and L.A. Minnesota and or L.A. taking on Philadelphia in Philadelphia. You have Washington, the commanders, the Redskins, taking on the Detroit Lions. And you have the Houston Texans taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead. And you have Baltimore and Buffalo. The game of the week will be Baltimore and Buffalo.

But the game of the week may actually be Houston and KC. because, man, I would like to see Kansas City defeat. I mean, Houston defeat Kansas City. Don't think it's going to happen, but it would be interesting to see C.J. Stroud beat Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. And Washington, oh my gosh. I mean, I don't think it's going to happen, but if Washington were to go into Detroit and beat Detroit,

holy cow. Jaydon Daniels, the rookie quarterback, that would be amazing. Just amazing. that would be awesome. And Minnesota and L.A., the winner of that game taking on Philadelphia, Minnesota got crushed by Detroit last week. Are they going to lose two in a row

and let the Rams go into the divisional round against Philadelphia? I don't think so. I don't think that's going to happen, but it could. It could happen. And then the Buffalo Baltimore game, that's going to be incredible. You're going to have Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Both of those quarterbacks are vying for,

the MVP again. The world thinks it's going to be Josh Allen from Buffalo, but Lamar has put together another fantastic year. That guy's been amazing again. There's no reason for him not to be the MVP. So we'll see about that. Anyway, that's enough football talk, I know.

And before the joke of the day, keep your eyes to the sky. You may see the super rare G3 Atlas Comet. only visible once every 160,000 years? Wow. So apparently it will appear in the night sky in the next few days over these next few days. But they're saying that it's going to reach its closest approach to the sun today. So it's anticipated to become the brightest of 2025, potentially exceeding in a

apparent magnitude of this 3.5 or minus 3.5. So you'll be able to observe us in the northern hemisphere. may only be able to observe it during the daytime. Oh, so heads up. You may see the G3 Atlas comet, you know, shows up every, you know, between 135 and 160,000 years. That's a big window. It doesn't seem like much when you say it, but when you think about it, 15,000 years difference. I mean, where were you 15,000 years ago?

Exactly. So, I mean, heads up, because you definitely will not get an opportunity to see this again. That is for sure. This is a joke of the day from, which one should I do? Well, let's do this one from Gary. Gary sent this joke in to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. He's, his joke is about Mary, and how long they've been married and how husbands and wives, you know, deal with each other throughout the years. And he claims in his email that I've been married too long. Remember, this is just a joke. It's not really what's happening in Gary's life. This is just a joke.

He's writing jokes for the show. I've been married too long. My wife asked me if that was a gun in my pocket or was I just happy to see her. and I replied, it's a gun.
