If I could turn back time, I believe Cher said it best. Well, you now can turn back time. Well, you have to move to Ethiopia. I did not know this, but on September 11th, Ethiopians will celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another. And when the East African country rings in its new year in a few months, it will technically be 2017.

That's according to the Ethiopian calendar. In Ethiopia, the birth year of Jesus Christ is recognized as the seven or eight years later than the Gregorian or Western calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory the 8th in 1582. And man, I loved him.

He was great. Pope Gregory the 8th in 1582. According to experts, the Roman Catholic Church I should say it was just the Roman church adjusted its calculations in 500 C.E while the Ethiopian Orthodox Church opted to stick with ancient dates.

Although much of the rest of the world went to adopt the Gregorian calendar, Ethiopia said, how about no. We're sticking with what we've got, okay? So you remember how good you had it way back in 2017? Well, now you can

turn back time. Have you moved to Ethiopia? Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. According to the new Nostradamus, the world is just days away from World War III. Now, Kushal Kumar, a.k.a. the new Nostradamus,

has made some grim predictions about World War III. Now, okay, so, Has he? Has he though? Because he claimed that it was going to break out on June 18th. What's today again? Oh yeah, that's right, the 21st. And it hasn't.

Now, I know you could make the case that maybe it has happened, but it really hasn't. Not officially. And so he was wrong there. And now he went, well, no, I stand by that. I foresee world events. And we've got increased tensions between Israel and Hamas, Russia and NATO,

North and South Korea, China and Taiwan, and we have, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to envision these escalations. That's what Kumar says. Well, no kidding. That doesn't make you Nostradamus, there, Kumar.

But he said that Tuesday the 18th, huh, we've already passed that, has the strongest planetary alignment to trigger World War III. But you know what? Shoot, I thought it was going to be the 10th, two. That didn't happen. So I moved to the 18th. So yeah,

I didn't get to that. So now you know, oh, you know, 29th. The 29th of June, that's the day that is strong too. So Kushal Kumar believes that World War III, aka

the new Nostradamus, has believed that World War 3 is going to happen. Now, never mind that he said it was going to be one date, was wrong. Change it to another date was wrong. And now he's changed it to another day.

So he just keeps changing it. Someday he'll be right. Won't he? Ugh, I can't take it. I mean, I guess, you know, we're closer than we have been in a long, long time. And I don't know what, I mean, I'll have to go back and read my quatrains

from the original Nostradamus. But his quatrain's, I mean, has foretold many things that have happened. And I don't recall what the Nostradamus prediction was for the end of the world. I'm going to go back and look. Oh, that's right. In his book, he predicted that the world is slated to end in 3797. So we got a little bit of time.

It's a long way from 1555 when he wrote this. That's for sure, man. but that is incorrect according to aka the new Nostradamus so we'll see if Kumar is correct or not because obviously we're not at the 29th yet so good luck

God bless oh no I mean this could be at the actual beginning of the end of the world an incident that threatened the safety of U.S. health inspectors in Mexico is now threatening to stress out about the guac availability. So you may have issues with... Avocados from Mexico. Yeah. It could be a shortage going on. Okay. Inspections of U.S.-bound avocados and mangoes in a major Mexican export region are on hold

while the U.S. Department of Agriculture investigates a recent situation in which locals detained and beat a USDA inspector. Okay. So the positives have been in place since last weekend. And U.S. agents were reportedly harmed during a labor protest in Macoan. M-I-C-H-O-A-C-A-C-A-N.

Michoacan. That's what I said. Michikana. That's right. It's good to have her back, too. I guess vacation's over. Where organized crime has grown alongside the avocado boom. And inspections are paused.

Mexico won't be able to clear any new... Avocados from Mexico. From... Michow Khan. And so we... could have an issue. So be careful out there when you're ordered guac. You don't want any.

Avocados from Mexico. You might not have any. You might not have any. It could be fake guacamole. It might be avocados from Bill's Ranch. I don't know, but it's not Mexico. So according to this, Mexico provided 89% of the record 2.78 billion pounds of fresh avocados. that the U.S. brought in last year.

On average, more than 63% of U.S. mango imports. Nobody cares about the mangoes. Okay. I don't care about the mango. Yeah, I know today is National Smoothie Day. So go ahead and put a mango in your smoothie day. No problem. Don't worry about it, but nobody really cares.

What we really care about is Avocados from Mexico that are grown in... Michuacan Valley. So, I mean, good luck. And if you're out this weekend and you hear, yeah, I would like some guacamole. If you're one of those people.

Yes, I would like some guacamole, please. And you hear, oh, sorry, we are out of guacamole. Now you know why. I mean, we just busted the Mexican cartel and some Chinese-linked bankers that are laundering cash. So now we have the Chinese and the Mexican cartels working together. Isn't that great? That is.

That is great. Oh, that's wonderful. Now, I'm sure that... Thank you. Thank you. No, no, no, no. Sit down, sit down, sit down. No, you don't need to applaud that. I'm sure that I'm positive.

That there are no drugs being shipped in with the shipments of... Avocados from Mexico. I'm sure that's not happening at all. That's just me talking crazy. So I'm just letting you know that. You know, we now have the cartels and the Chinese working together. So that's great. That's great.

When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece?

leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Please follow me on my social media accounts at Jeffy JFR on X, Jeff Fisher Radio,

on Instagram and Facebook. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat, with Jeff Fisher. You can order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on cameo. Obviously, that's not free. You can email the show anytime, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And I do see them all.

I don't answer them all, but I do see them all. And thank you for those of you who do send in emails. In fact, I got an email the other day from Jeremy, who had a great idea, a couple of them, actually. One, he was pointing out that we should take the 87,000 IRS agents and make them border agents. Hey, they're armed to the teeth. Right? I like that idea. It's cute. It's never going to happen. It's a cute little thought.

This actually could happen and would be a great benefit to all involved. How about we send any veteran to college for free that wants to go into teaching? Let's flood the school system with true patriots. I love that idea. That's a fantastic idea. I think the veterans get free college anyway. I'm not positive about that, but I'm pretty positive. sure? Doesn't everybody, first of all, doesn't everybody get free college these days? I think they do.

I think that whole paying for college thing is way overrated. Forget it. If I'm going to college and paying for it, no way am I paying for it, okay? That's the government's job. So you can, anyway, you can email the show Chewing the Fat at the blaze.com. So I see the term price. It's not price, gouging. It's my term price gouging. What they call it is dynamic pricing is making the rounds again. Remember when Wendy's took such heat for talking about dynamic pricing

and how prices would change maybe at lunchtime and then it would go down at dinner time, that kind of thing? And people just went crazy. How dare you? I'm going to be standing and I don't know how much my burger costs. Well, that concept is making the rounds again because we see it in Uber, often changing more rides during peak hours.

now the grocery industry is saying, you know, that's not a bad idea. So Walmart has been among the most influential forces in the retail industry and recently confirmed plans to replace traditional price stickers on its aisles with electronic tags that could be changed based on any number of factors. We'll change right before your eyes. Listen, this is how it might be implanted. And what industry insider explained it to you and me? Okay.

We would only think that, oh, you mean they would, what if it changes the price from the time I put it in my cart to the time I get it to the cash register? Do I pay that price? Or do I pay the price at the cash register? It's not the price until it goes through the cash register, Jeff. Okay, all right.

So anyway, the industry insider went ahead and explained how this might be implemented. If it's hot outside, we can raise the price of water and ice cream. Of course, the opposite can potentially occur. The opposite will never occur, by the way. But I'm not an industry insider, so I don't know that. But of course, particularly if foods are getting close to their sell-by-date and retailers want to get rid of them at a lower price,

yeah, they wouldn't just mark them down. They'd just go ahead and change the price on the digital tag, right? Right. In some ways, America is late to the party. Well, we can't have that. When it comes to electronic shelf flavors, European stores in Europe, stores have been using them far and wide for years. If you've been to Whole Foods or a handful of other U.S. grocers in recent years, you've probably already noticed this addition. It's worth noting that there are other uses for this technology, aside from hiking prices whenever the mood strikes. As Walmart, explained in announcing its plan to roll out digital tags in all stores by 2026. The change will also reduce shelf restocking time and result in increased productivity and reduced walking time. I would like to have that shown to me that those numbers and that that's actually true. I worked in the grocery business.

I know this is a surprise, but I worked in the grocery business for a long time. And I'd like to see how that pays off. Uh, the insider also explained that choppers can also scan these tags with their smartphones to find out more detailed information about the products. We don't need more detailed information about the product because we're already wanting to purchase the product. What we need is why you're charging us an arm and a leg for it. Is it going to tell us that when I scan it? I mean, that's what we're talking about, right? We're, we're trying to get to the cashless society.

And, uh, my gosh. a cashless society I make fun about just chip me just put the chip in and be done with it so that I don't have to worry about it anymore I just

boop and wherever I go we're good just yeah that's what I want poop sir no you your account is your account is on hold you don't have the money for that

you can buy this two cent lollipop but you can have this five cent lollipop because all you have is two cents in your account so we're going to re boop you and you're not you're in the negative and so I mean they either come and shoot you dead

or you put it back and we put your money back in it's just incredible but really when you think about cashless society I mean that doesn't mean mostly cashless uh you know a wee bit of cash here a little bit of cash there nope uh cashless means fully digital fully traceable fully controlled Right. No more tuckaway cash for those of you preparing to leave domestic violence situations. No more purchases of a marketplace, off marketplace unless you want to risk bank transfer fraud. No more garage sales. No more cash donations to hungry homeless people you pass. No more cash slipped into the hands of a child from their grandparent. No more money and birthday cards. No more piggy banks or tooth fairy for your child.

No more selling bits and pieces from your home that you no longer want or need for a bit of cash in return. That's a cashless society. And I'm sure you probably could still have yard sales, but everyone would have to have their digital accounts linked, which will happen. So, I mean, I'm just joking when I say chip me, okay? I'm just joking.

I'll tell you one thing that we've seen what's happening all around the world and around this country and especially when it comes to freedom of speech and how hypocritical the left in particular is when it comes to it and you know

I particularly in love the chance from the river to the sea but no no no no that's not that doesn't mean it just means we were for her Mas. Know what that means is you want Israel gone. That's what that means.

You want Israel. Oh, never mind. Don't worry about that. So it's just an example of why we hear at Blaze Media. You know this show, Chewing the Fat, is a free podcast through the Blaze Podcast Network. But your Blaze TV subscription helps pay for that.

I used to see him from time to time.

And I've been in the building quite a bit the last couple of weeks because I've been doing Pack Ray unleashed every week, every day, this last couple of weeks. And I haven't seen Steve Baker.

Everywhere now He's out promoting Horizon Which I honestly I can't wait to see I'm looking forward to it I'm going to go to it on On opening night I believe I've already got tickets reserved and I say I believe

Because someone else told me Hey yeah we'll go I'll reserve tickets So I'm guessing that that person is going to reserve the tickets. I found out, I'll come to think of it. And this is just, I know this is inside baseball, but I'm really pissed because I find out that two days ago, we had a free screening pass to see Horizon here in this building. And I wasn't told about it.

Are you kidding me? Of course I would be there. Kostner was all over at DFW. in promoting the thing. Did I meet him? No, very disappointed. I mean, I'm sure he stayed away from the blaze building like poison,

but I get that. But I was still, you know, I would have interviewed him. I love Kevin. I give him all kinds. I'll give him whatever love he wants to talk to him, man. Don't look at me like that. Yes, I would do that too. Anyway, the, I mean, all the stars are going to be here in DFW now.

So hopefully I'll be, I'm trying to set up a plan where I can get some of these, stars on the show because remember not long ago we did the story where the Academy Awards made Dallas, Ford Worth, one of the cities that a movie can be shown in

and count for the Academy Awards. That means that they're all going to come here. They're going to promote their stuff here because we're one of the destinations. Okay, so good. So anyway, he's, apparently he's dating Jewel. And I thought, the cat was not dating.

Jewel, is he? And so he claims no. Now, she never denied it, but she said that he's nice and he's wonderful. And he said that he met her down on Richard Branson's island. Yeah, I just hate, Richard has me down there.

I go down there to the private island, you know. He said, Richard's been asking me down there for years. And I figured I'm divorced all of a sudden. I'm a single father. And he asked me, for 10 years to come down there. And I said, you know what? I am. Now is the time.

I'm going to go down there. And so he went down. I guess Jule was there. Emma Watson was there. A few other non-famous people, I guess. Bringing them drinks. I don't know who. And they said he had some tremendous conversations.

Kostner said he was on a private plane with nine other people. Uh-huh. But the rumor was that it was just him and Jule. And he said, I don't want the press to ruin this for us because I've had conversations with her text-wise, and she's so smart. She's been through a lot.

I love Jewel's story, actually. That's me talking, not him. And so he said we have a friendship. We don't have a romance, and we've not dated. She's beautiful and smart enough for all those things. It's just, has never happened for us. She's everything you might think. It just hasn't happened.

See, a little bit too much on the denial there, Kep. she's beautiful and smart enough for all those things it just has never happened for us she's everything you might think but it just hasn't happened okay so and then Jewel I said you know she spoke out

and she did not deny it again she said hey he's a great person he's helped me with my foundation you know so we'll see and he said we're not to talk about Jewel's foundation that he didn't know she had a foundation and that's what they were down at Branson's

island for and so you know they met so I you know do I believe that it doesn't seem to be a couple that would work for me uh Kevin and Jewel but Jewel is certainly uh you know worthy I love Jewel and Kevin is worthy that's why I don't think they're a couple I just don't think there a couple because Kevin I just don't see that happening but you know if it does good for you nothing but love for both you I hope it works out for you then I see where Kevin

posted him on his Instagram and it looked like he was still here in Texas he was here for a long time and I'm really pissed that I didn't get a chance to meet him and talk to him but he you know people have been after him about Yellowstone and he said not too long ago that I'd be willing to come back if it was worked out and the timing was right and

you know everything was worked out but it just hasn't worked out oh okay because that's not what that's not what was said and that's what not what taylor sheridan is kind of kicked you to the curb kev he's done okay we're doing we're shooting 5b the end of yellowstone and that's it that's the end sure we wanted to do more but kevin was off doing horizon that looked a lot like my stuff by the way. That was Taylor Sheridan talking. And Kevin would say, no, that's my stuff.

That's why your stuff looks like my stuff. I mean, that's why they don't like each other, guaranteed. And so, I mean, they love each other. They love each other. That's why they're not working together. Anyway, so Kevin posts to everybody's after him. Are you going to come back? Is it going to happen?

And he posted this on his Instagram. I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon. doing all the things that that's required. Yeah, right. And thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love,

I just realized that I'm not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future. It was something that really changed me. I loved it. And I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won't be returning. And I love it.

love the relationship we've been able to develop. Do you? We'll see it the movies. Yeah, we'll see it the movies. He said all along he never wanted to do TV. And so he wasn't happy with TV. And so I'm sure that he was delightfully surprised at the success of Yellowstone and what it did. But he said all along, Kevin likes making movies.

He doesn't like to do a TV. But to no avail, no more Kevin Guster on Yellowstone. I know. Dry your eyes. So we had the first named storm of the season, tropical storm Alberto. And they keep saying it's going to be an intense Atlantic hurricane season. Now it's begun pouring down, I guess, on Texas, bringing floods. And we still have the heat dome to worry about across the Midwest and the Northeast,

putting some 71 million people under a heat advisory. Okay. Or warning. Oh, okay. So you're either under an advisory or, hey, it's going to be hot. Wear some sun lotion, not the ones that were recalled, but put some suntan lotion on. And record-breaking temperatures. So just remember that it's summer and, you know, it could get hot.

But I was looking at this crazy hurricane season. I mean, we're smack dab in it, 21st of June, if you're listening live today. And, you know, obviously June 1st is the first day of hurricane season. And, boy, Alberto's even gone now. It doesn't show. I go to the hurricane center. Alberto doesn't even show up. The first name storm doesn't show up on the map.

We have two disturbances. We have one down in the Yucatan Peninsula that they say 50% chance of cyclone formation in the next couple of days. And we have one up on the east coast, just northern Georgia or northern Florida. at Georgia border out in the Atlantic, and they say that this particular storm, 60% chance of cyclone formation. Who, man, is it a busy hurricane season, huh? Wow, look at that.

I mean, there's no formations out in the Atlantic Ocean at all. They could pop up so fast, Jeff. The ones in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, it's too early in the season for those to pop up. But I'm not a weather expert. so it definitely happen so you keep your eyes open and if you're thinking hey it's not going to storm out it's going to be warm I think I'll go buy a new car ooh easy

auto retailers across the US and Canada are facing days of outages they've already faced a couple of days of outages due to back-to-back cyber attacks on CDK Global love them they're the software provider with 15,000 car dealerships in North America that they take care of. So, according to the cybersecurity experts, this has a domino effect problem, as hundreds of organizations face service disruptions due to a singular attack on a third-party vendor. Really? Is that the way it works? Yes. Well, car dealerships across the U.S. reverted to using pen and paper. Nobody even knows how to do that anymore. Are you kidding?

me. Process ought to process auto repairs. Oh yeah. Well, they just said Bill can fix it. You need a carburetor? Yeah, that's $1,000. Get out of here. The new, and new vehicle sales. As CDK worked to bring its systems back online following the attacks that began on Wednesday. So they're still not fixed. They shut down their systems as it investigated the first cyber incident earlier this week. And then, uh, wait a minute. So wait a minute. This first cyber incident, according to the statement company, spokes, I'll be email on Thursday night. So we're talking about last week.

Right? No, it's Friday. So maybe she said, maybe it was last night that she sent. I mean, this story. When was this story? Yeah, so, yeah, okay, eight hours ago. So it was this week. Okay, so it's still only a couple of days. I don't want to beat CDK up too bad. Now they're trying to, you know, get it done for you. I got it. So the company's core dealership management system and digital retailing solutions were restored Wednesday afternoon. but that didn't last long

because an additional cyber attack happened and so they shut down all its systems to try to defeat the cyber incident. Okay, so Kia Toyota, Stalantis, you know, they make Jeep Dodge had helped with ways to assist at serving customers

during the CDK outage. We're able to receive sales and service support due to alternative process available to our dealers. Now we've got three coming in. I got three coming off the truck One, two, three Red Delantis, a green

Jeep, okay, I'll write it down That's what's happening Holy cow Although I will say they talked about They talked to this Todd Scott Who was a dealer partner At the Scott Auto Group Love Todd man

I gotta get you into an automobile Any day, time or night In Metro Detroit Said he'd managed to keep his doors open after finding workarounds, but noted the CVR system that we use at the dealership to register plates is down. So yeah, we get you to a car, but I mean, we got some plates here, maybe at the back, we take them off a used car, hook you up so you can get you on the road. I'll give you a piece of paper. You can tell the cops if we get pulled over, you know, we have a little issues, but

until then, you know, it's your car, but no plates. So good luck. We'll put you in one of those little paper plates. And maybe you could drive around with that for a while, because those are always supposed to be good for, what, 30 days? Right? You get the paper plates? You get the paper plates. plates anyway, but that's after you register what the plate is going to be, right? You get the paper plate with the actual numbers, but they're waiting for those to go through the system, which the system is down. So, anyway, yeah, if you, I mean, if you've got license plates you want to sell people, it might not be a bad time to do it.

I don't know if my man Todd Scott would be have the wool pulled over his eyes I don't think so he's too bright for that and it's Todd

I call him Scots but it's Todd S-Z-O-T-T so it's Todd Z-O-T-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-Zot Todd Zat or Todd Zott Todd Zott. We'll just go with Todd Zott either way.

On link on C for Cepore Appinca or in magazine. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Donald Sutherland. Donald Sutherland has passed away at the age of 88. Very sad yesterday afternoon when I heard the news that Donald Sutherland died. And Kiefer, that's his son, Kiefer Sutherland, who didn't know that, it posted on social media with a heavy heart.

I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film, never daunted by a role, good, bad, or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved. And one can never ask more than that. A life well lived. I mean, very sad. I love Donald Sutherland.

His work was great. I mean, he was still working. It said that he had passed away from a long illness, but he was still working, man. He was doing the Hunger Games. He did the Taylor Sheridan show. Bass Reeves. He was the judge of that.

Still working great character in that. Very sad. I mean, very sad to hear that Donald Sutherland died. Plus, I mean, he's got one of my favorite lines. I think about all the time. And I forget which Hunger Games it is. Gosh, darn it. But he's watching the,

He's watching them all up on stage. Look at them. Holding hands. I want them dead. Look at this. You're holding hands. I want them dead. Think about it.

Look at them. Look at this. You're holding hands. I want them dead. Ah, very, I doubt Southern. Darn it. Rest in peace. Seriously.

Rest of peace. He died in Miami. After, I don't know what the long illness was, but rest and peace to Donald Sutherland. Dead at the age of 88. Look at them.

What's them dead? No, you don't need to play him again. I just, go ahead, go out. It's an honor of him. Look at this. You're holding hands. I want them dead. That's awesome.

That's awesome. Okay. I'll move on from Donald's Sullivan. Rest in peace, Donald. So one more who died today, today. A popular Tunisian beauty influencer died after suffering a suspected heart attack while aboard a yacht in Malta. Farah al-Qadi-H-H-H-S-A-K-D-H-S. El-Kadi.

El-Kad-H-S. She's an influencer, and I'm not sure. I'm not up on my Tunisian beauty influencers. I apologize, but I'll just go Farrah, F-A-H, Farah, dead at the age of 36. Now, I know many of, I got this email, many of you

sent me this person, actually, and thank you. I appreciate it for sending it to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I really appreciate it. And you wanted to say, I'm sure it could be that. You know, 36-year-old influencer just dropping over. Well, let me ask you a question.

All right. Is it that? Or is it, you're on a yacht in Malta and you're just doing rails, partying your ass off, and you end up just laying down, raging, just speeding your brains out, and your heart says, you're going a little bit too fast,

I'm going to have to stop. And it never starts up again. That happens from time to time. That happens from time to time. No, she wouldn't be doing drugs on a yacht in Malta. That's just silly. be that. It had to.

Rest in peace to Farah Elkada, 36. For you sports fans out there, we have the NHL Stanley Cup finals coming back on tonight up in Edmonton. As the Florida Panthers travel to Edmonton, they are up. Florida Panthers, three games and two. It looked as though after that last game that Edmonton has Florida Panthers number. So if Edmonton wins tonight at home, then we go way back. to Florida and play the final game Monday night

in Florida. So we'll see. You know, Panthers could end it tonight, win it on the road, four games to one or four games to two, have a nice day. But it didn't look like that was going to happen this last game. It looked like Edmonton had

had the Panthers number. And Edmonton's got that guy. I'm not a hockey expert. I do enjoy watching it. Has the guy that is the Mr. Hockey. He's like all world hockey. He's got all these records. Everybody says he's the best hockey player in the NHL. But he doesn't have a Stanley Cup. And he needs to win this bad. So maybe, maybe they're going to come back for him because he's been playing outstanding. Yeah, Cotter McDavid. That's his name. Thank you. I mean, he could pass Gretzky in scoring records.

I mean, the guy is Mr. Hockey. But as I said, he doesn't have a stand. Stanley Cup. So is he the greatest ever? If he doesn't have a Stanley Cup? I don't know. You tell me. I would say, yeah, he's the greatest, but he's got that asterisk next to his name forever. No Stanley Cup. And you can't have that. You can't have that. You just can't. You have to have that victory. That victory is what sets you apart. It just is. It's what makes you part of the elite club. Yep, I'm as good as Wayne Gretzky. I was better than Wayne Gretzky. I have all these records.

No argument. And oh, by the way, yeah, that's my Stanley Cup over there. My name is Stanley Cup. Yeah, I won that too. I mean, he has to. He has to. So, Edmonton, you know, I'm kind of thinking they're going to come back here. And if they don't, I mean, is McDavid.

He's getting a little long in the tooth, man. So he's going to have to go through a whole other season. and it takes a lot to get to the Stanley Cup finals, man. So good luck, we'll see what happens. Should be exciting. And congratulations to JJ Reddick. You know, I know he was a former player, I get it. But he just became, he was announced that he's going to be the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

He's going to be the head basketball coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. Never coached before. I don't think. Maybe he coached high school, but he never coached a collegiate or NBA. and he played in the NBA. But the only reason that he was on the list was because he was doing a podcast with LeBron James. And good for him.

Good for him. I guess anything to keep the king happy. All right. As you know what? King James to be disappointed in you. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel.
