- 1:09Speaker 2: Running around. He's got some vacation he had to do.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And then next week, we're all going to be off.
- 1:19Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Hello. Hi. How you doing? Oh, yeah, that's better. I
- 1:26Speaker 2: can actually hear now.
- 1:29Speaker 7: I love that you have to wear the headphones now.
- 1:32Speaker 2: I hate wearing these things. I mean, I don't hate
- 1:35Speaker 2: wearing these things. Just on camera. I don't like the
- 1:38Speaker 2: way it.
- 1:39Speaker 8: Oh, no.
- 1:40Speaker 2: We turned off the camera. Oh, okay.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Cool.
- 1:42Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:42Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Cool.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:42Speaker 9: All right.
- 1:43Speaker 7: Nobody wants to see you.
- 1:46Speaker 2: All right. 888-900-3393 is the phone number. Right. 888-900-3393. That's
- 1:52Speaker 2: the phone number.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Use that. I think I'm going to make a trucker Friday.
- 1:57Speaker 2: I want to talk to some truckers out there. Diesel
- 1:59Speaker 2: prices through the roof, and yet I see in the
- 2:03Speaker 2: Kroger warehouse parking lot, they've got deliveries rode up, man.
- 2:10Speaker 2: They come in every day. And so somebody's driving those semis.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And I appreciate it. Thank you, Lifeblood of America. I
- 2:18Speaker 2: want to hear from the truckers. How's it going out there?
- 2:19Speaker 2: Because gas prices in my neck of the woods, just non-diesel,
- 2:23Speaker 2: went up another 25 cents today. And I don't like it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I don't like it. We were on a good trajectory down,
- 2:32Speaker 2: and now we're back up again. And I don't like
- 2:34Speaker 2: it at all. So Trucker Friday, 888-900-3393. I want to
- 2:38Speaker 2: hear from you. How's it going out there on the road?
- 2:40Speaker 2: You know, every time I'm driving and I'm looking down
- 2:43Speaker 2: at my phone on the highway, I think, oh, yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 2: the trucker's getting mad at me. So I'm reminded, don't
- 2:53Speaker 2: use my phone on the road. That's it. That's the
- 2:56Speaker 2: only reminder. That's good. Yeah. Don't use my phone while
- 3:00Speaker 2: I'm driving.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I could use my phone while I'm driving. Well, then
- 3:03Speaker 2: your car is driving itself. Exactly.
- 3:05Speaker 5: I know.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I love that.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I know.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I can read. I can watch. I mean, the car
- 3:13Speaker 2: is your driver.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Yes.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I know. I like that. I can see why rich
- 3:16Speaker 2: people have drivers. Yeah. It's pretty awesome. Look, it's time consuming. Oh, yes,
- 3:22Speaker 2: it is. I mean, I talked about it. We worked
- 3:24Speaker 2: in New York, and I lived in Pennsylvania, so I
- 3:27Speaker 2: took the train every morning. That hour, hour and a
- 3:30Speaker 2: half train ride, I got so much work done, personal
- 3:35Speaker 2: and professional, every day, to and fro. Laptop, all of it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: It was awesome. It's awesome.
- 3:43Speaker 7: Wait, they had a laptop back in the day when
- 3:45Speaker 7: you were in New York?
- 3:46Speaker 2: You had to bring the whole thing. They got mad
- 3:49Speaker 2: at me because you had to bring the whole computer
- 3:51Speaker 2: and the screen and everything. It takes up a lot
- 3:54Speaker 2: of space.
- 3:54Speaker 5: It does.
- 3:55Speaker 2: It does take a lot of space. I was like,
- 3:57Speaker 2: I got work to do. Sorry. Yeah, that's the way
- 3:59Speaker 2: it goes. They let it slide for a while. I
- 4:03Speaker 2: bought the monthly pass, so I was already grandfathered in.
- 4:07Speaker 2: No problem. I see where the Supreme Court yesterday, they
- 4:12Speaker 2: blocked the Trump administration's planned restrictions on transgender inmates. Yeah. Yeah.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So the high court did not sign or explain the order,
- 4:23Speaker 2: which keeps in place a lower court decision. to prevent
- 4:27Speaker 2: the 2025 Bureau of Prisons rules from going into effect
- 4:32Speaker 2: while the issue plays out in the lower courts. So
- 4:34Speaker 2: an estimated 1,000 transgender inmates are in federal custody.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Wow.
- 4:42Speaker 2: And there's a difference between federal and state, obviously. With
- 4:45Speaker 2: about 600 of these transgender inmates receiving hormone therapy, Last year,
- 4:53Speaker 2: 600 of them last year receiving this therapy at an
- 4:57Speaker 2: estimated monthly cost between $ 20 and $ 80 each. I mean,
- 5:02Speaker 2: on the surface, that doesn't sound bad, but you're starting
- 5:05Speaker 2: to get into hundreds of people. And if allowed to
- 5:08Speaker 2: go into effect, the new rules would have ended the
- 5:11Speaker 2: Bureau of Prisons' year-long responsibility. Yeah, but they still are
- 5:15Speaker 2: in effect. But is that just that, right? They also
- 5:17Speaker 2: get hair? Yeah, they get it all. They get it all. Wigs,
- 5:21Speaker 2: all of it. Yeah. Makeup. And with it, if they
- 5:26Speaker 2: would have upheld it, then they would have got mental
- 5:30Speaker 2: health services, some antidepressants, and be on your way. But yeah,
- 5:36Speaker 2: they get makeup, they get wigs, they get the shots,
- 5:38Speaker 2: they get it all. They get the boobs. Tough to
- 5:41Speaker 2: be in federal prison.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I mean, if you get sent to federal prison, depending
- 5:46Speaker 2: on the length of time that you're supposed to serve.
- 5:49Speaker 2: It's just a transition.
- 5:50Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 7: I may know some inmates that transitioned because of the.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Job that they had before.
- 6:05Speaker 7: And then when they got locked up, they realized, oh, crap,
- 6:09Speaker 7: the job I was doing was affecting that gang.
- 6:14Speaker 2: And I need some protection. So I'm transgender.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't come after me. I'm a protected prisoner now.
- 6:24Speaker 7: In units, they're divided. They got the transgender in one
- 6:29Speaker 7: side of the aisle while general population is on the
- 6:31Speaker 7: other side of the aisle because— I.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Mean, I'm sure there's a transgender hierarchy that you have
- 6:37Speaker 2: to deal with. Oh, absolutely.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
- 6:39Speaker 7: But I prefer that transgender hierarchy than the people trying
- 6:43Speaker 7: to kill me because I did something against them when
- 6:46Speaker 7: I was in the free world.
- 6:47Speaker 5: No, absolutely.
- 6:48Speaker 2: So when you go to federal prison, you either have
- 6:50Speaker 2: to become Muslim.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Yep.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Or a transgender.
- 6:54Speaker 5: Yep.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Or I guess there's probably a Christian mob.
- 7:00Speaker 7: There is a Christian dorm, yes.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Not a mob. A dorm. Okay. Mob.
- 7:07Speaker 9: Go ahead.
- 7:08Speaker 7: You get a lot of privileges as a Christian dorm person.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 7:14Speaker 7: You get a lot of privileges.
- 7:15Speaker 2: What about the Muslims, though?
- 7:17Speaker 7: I don't deal with them.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Oh. I just convert them. They hate me. I will
- 7:20Speaker 2: say this.
- 7:21Speaker 7: The Muslim population do hate me in prison.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Oh, because you're talking to the Christians.
- 7:26Speaker 7: I'm talking to.
- 7:26Speaker 2: No, I'm talking to them. To convert.
- 7:29Speaker 7: To convert them to Christianity. They do not like that.
- 7:32Speaker 7: Did you know that they don't like that? They don't
- 7:34Speaker 7: like when you take a member of the flock.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I do now. Yeah, they don't like that. Wow. Yeah. Weird.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Very weird. Weird. Because how about... How many battles are
- 7:46Speaker 2: there legitimately? What do you mean? Fights. Oh, when I
- 7:53Speaker 2: was there, there was one.
- 7:55Speaker 7: And I was there.
- 7:56Speaker 2: So they keep it pretty. Oh, yeah. But everything is
- 7:59Speaker 2: right at that boiling point. Everything is. All the time.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Yes.
- 8:03Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Like there was one fight. That's a tough life right there.
- 8:05Speaker 7: The cool thing was that it's not as tough. Prison Break,
- 8:10Speaker 7: if you all remember the documentary Prison Break.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Filmed in this building.
- 8:13Speaker 7: Filmed in this building, yes. It wasn't like that. Most
- 8:17Speaker 7: of the fights happened inside their dorms.
- 8:21Speaker 5: Okay.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Amongst themselves.
- 8:23Speaker 7: Amongst themselves. Or one guy wanted to go out and they, no,
- 8:27Speaker 7: you can't go out. No, I want to go out. No,
- 8:29Speaker 7: you can't go out.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Right. And it goes from there. Now I'm thinking about
- 8:32Speaker 2: Prison Break. There was a cameraman who used to work
- 8:35Speaker 2: with us. For the life, I don't know where he
- 8:37Speaker 2: is now. I love him. I love you. You were
- 8:40Speaker 2: hilarious when you were here. But he was in prison break,
- 8:44Speaker 2: and he was on a gurney, and his hand showed.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That's me, Mom. Do you know how many times I
- 8:50Speaker 2: did that to my kids watching shows? And you see
- 8:53Speaker 2: somebody walk by, and that's me. Oh, you have to.
- 8:56Speaker 2: And my kids are like, what? Yeah, I was in
- 8:59Speaker 2: that role. That's me. Yeah, you have to. That is
- 9:01Speaker 2: so good. But that actually was him.
- 9:04Speaker 7: Well, funny you say, because one of our Blaze TV hosts,
- 9:08Speaker 7: ex-Blaze TV host, Alex Stein, he was on the episode
- 9:12Speaker 7: of The Office where Michael says goodbye forever in the airport.
- 9:18Speaker 7: And there he is, Alex Stein, just walking with a
- 9:20Speaker 7: random wife.
- 9:22Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's his claim to fame. That's awesome. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:25Speaker 7: He was in one of the most popular TV shows,
- 9:28Speaker 7: one of the most iconic films.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Right.
- 9:31Speaker 7: I mean, a comment scene, and there he is, Alex Stein,
- 9:33Speaker 7: just walking in the back as an extra.
- 9:37Speaker 2: That's the coming to America when he introduced himself. You
- 9:41Speaker 2: may know him as Joe the Policeman from episode five
- 9:44Speaker 2: of That's My Mama. The What's Going Down episode of
- 9:52Speaker 2: That's My Mama. That's his claim to fame. People get
- 9:54Speaker 2: their claim to fame on that. I love that. And,
- 9:56Speaker 2: of course, we got Elena Kagan out saying that Chief Justice,
- 10:01Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.
- 10:05Speaker 7: Don't promote her to Chief Justice.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I know. I caught myself. She is not Chief. We
- 10:10Speaker 2: do not need that. She's just a Supreme Court Justice.
- 10:13Speaker 2: She said that the court has kind of blinded itself
- 10:17Speaker 2: to the very deleterious effects of their rulings on how
- 10:20Speaker 2: the political system works. And it's created a democracy that
- 10:24Speaker 2: does not work as well as it should. Oh, okay. Well,
- 10:28Speaker 2: we appreciate you stopping by the Catholic University Law School
- 10:34Speaker 2: and giving us a little chat on the Supreme Court.
- 10:37Speaker 2: We appreciate that very much. Go away. Just go away.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Just retire. Just retire. Let Trump appoint a new Supreme
- 10:48Speaker 2: Court Justice. Maybe two and get some new ones in there.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Because that's what the Democrats want to do. They want
- 10:55Speaker 2: to pack that court. And that's going to be a nightmare.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Let's go to Jason in Tennessee. Jason, welcome to Trucker Friday.
- 11:05Speaker 2: How are you? Hey, on the road, too. Awesome. How
- 11:17Speaker 2: about you close on the window? Dude, can you close
- 11:19Speaker 2: the window? Can you close the window? Can you?
- 11:24Speaker 10: Yeah, why don't you call somebody with a window?
- 11:31Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. Dude, come.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Dude!
- 11:46Speaker 5: Dude!
- 11:51Speaker 2: Did he die? He hung up. Jason, thank you very much.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I love you. Be safe out there, okay? Wait, did
- 11:57Speaker 2: he get into a car accident? I don't know. I
- 11:59Speaker 2: don't know. We may have caused one. We may have
- 12:03Speaker 2: caused one. Those things are loud, too, man. When you're right...
- 12:06Speaker 2: I used to... A buddy of mine... I think I've
- 12:08Speaker 2: told this story before, but a buddy of mine had
- 12:10Speaker 2: one attached under his pickup truck. Oh, that makes sense. Oh,
- 12:14Speaker 2: those things are loud. I scared the crap out of
- 12:19Speaker 2: my kids. Okay, he's not in a car accident.
- 12:21Speaker 7: He called back.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Okay, well, if his window's still open, then I'm glad
- 12:27Speaker 2: that he's not in a car accident. Jason, we're happy
- 12:32Speaker 2: that you're not in a car accident. And I hope
- 12:35Speaker 2: that doesn't cost you more gallons of gas. Does it? No,
- 12:40Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think so. That would
- 12:43Speaker 2: be kind of cool. I remember setting it off. I
- 12:47Speaker 2: pulled up in front of a driveway. My kids are
- 12:50Speaker 2: coming down the driveway, and I pushed that horn thing.
- 12:54Speaker 2: My kids jumped, I bet you, 10 feet. My daughter
- 13:01Speaker 2: was so scared.
- 13:05Speaker 7: I wonder what those cars were doing as there's this
- 13:09Speaker 7: random trucker just honking the horn forever.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I know. That's why I said he caused accidents. People are, like,
- 13:18Speaker 2: freaking out if you're driving and that happens. I mean...
- 13:21Speaker 2: What do you do? I don't know. I mean, I'm
- 13:24Speaker 2: putting my phone down, and then I'm putting both hands
- 13:27Speaker 2: on the wheel, and I'm looking around like, what is happening?
- 13:31Speaker 2: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
- 13:33Speaker 5: Jason.
- 13:33Speaker 2: All right, go to Jason again. Let's see if he's
- 13:35Speaker 2: all right. You all right, pal?
- 13:38Speaker 11: I'm all right.
- 13:39Speaker 12: I'm back here. I was just trying to switch to
- 13:41Speaker 12: my poopsie headset, which I did successfully with maintaining speed
- 13:46Speaker 12: and everything. But I was saying it was Trucker Friday,
- 13:48Speaker 12: and it sounds like it's also X-Con Friday.
- 13:51Speaker 2: It is. Absolutely. Are you both?
- 13:55Speaker 11: I am both.
- 13:57Speaker 5: Awesome.
- 13:57Speaker 2: That's awesome. And they still give you a job? They
- 14:01Speaker 2: trust you with trucking?
- 14:03Speaker 12: So, yeah, you know, it's a lot of responsibility, but
- 14:07Speaker 12: I think I qualify to be trustworthy as a truck driver.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Awesome, dude. That's awesome.
- 14:12Speaker 12: I've actually been out of prison for 14 years.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Oh, so you're good.
- 14:16Speaker 12: It's been a good long time. I got my record expunged,
- 14:19Speaker 12: all that good stuff.
- 14:21Speaker 2: So you didn't do nothing criminally. You just... What were
- 14:24Speaker 2: you convicted of?
- 14:27Speaker 7: He got expunged.
- 14:27Speaker 11: Oh, man, that.
- 14:29Speaker 4: How long of a show do you have?
- 14:31Speaker 2: Oh, dude.
- 14:32Speaker 11: So, what I actually went to prison for was.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on. No, no, no, no, no. Hold on,
- 14:38Speaker 2: hold on. That's not the question. That's not the question. Well,
- 14:42Speaker 2: I've got an hour and 45, bro. I've got an
- 14:44Speaker 2: hour and 45. I've got time to kill. I'm here
- 14:47Speaker 2: for you. So, I want to know what you were
- 14:50Speaker 2: convicted of.
- 14:54Speaker 12: So I was convicted of when I went to prison
- 14:57Speaker 12: of distribution of a controlled substance.
- 15:00Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
- 15:01Speaker 12: Felon in possession of a firearm.
- 15:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 12: Attempts to elude.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:06Speaker 12: Just the usual stuff.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Yes, okay.
- 15:08Speaker 12: One because the gun was stolen.
- 15:11Speaker 2: When the gun was stolen?
- 15:14Speaker 7: Did you steal the gun or did you receive the gun?
- 15:17Speaker 2: No, his friend gave it to him. Oh, okay. Hey,
- 15:19Speaker 2: can you hold this for me? Yeah.
- 15:22Speaker 12: Yeah, I got it from a guy.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Yeah, got it from a guy who said, you know,
- 15:26Speaker 2: you might need this someday, so keep it with your stash.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And now that you're arrested, they're going through your house
- 15:32Speaker 2: and there it is.
- 15:34Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Who among us?
- 15:35Speaker 4: Actually, I was.
- 15:37Speaker 11: Yeah, exactly.
- 15:38Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 15:40Speaker 4: But yeah, so just... Chuck driving on the road now.
- 15:44Speaker 12: This is actually my first time I get to participate
- 15:46Speaker 12: in Trucker Friday.
- 15:47Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 15:47Speaker 12: I've been looking for a long time.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 15:50Speaker 11: I'm pretty excited.
- 15:51Speaker 12: I got a reason to call you.
- 15:52Speaker 2: That's awesome. So do you just drive for one company
- 15:56Speaker 2: or do you haul for yourself cross-country?
- 16:01Speaker 12: I drive for a company and I haul parts.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Okay.
- 16:06Speaker 7: What are you hauling today?
- 16:07Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you hauling today?
- 16:10Speaker 12: A little bit of everything. I think this load was
- 16:12Speaker 12: mostly doors for different types of machinery.
- 16:17Speaker 2: You know, I see lately here at DFW, I see
- 16:22Speaker 2: big semis hauling big machine stuff on the interstate. Do
- 16:29Speaker 2: you haul that stuff? Are those all going to the
- 16:31Speaker 2: data centers? Yeah, they're going around.
- 16:36Speaker 12: They're going all over the place. I'm not hauling any machinery,
- 16:39Speaker 12: but I do work with a lot of guys that.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Do haul machinery.
- 16:44Speaker 12: And a lot of times they're just going to different
- 16:47Speaker 12: job sites, and that's just a good sign. It's a
- 16:49Speaker 12: good sign for the economy.
- 16:50Speaker 5: No kidding.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding.
- 16:51Speaker 5: Because that means people are building.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Yes, it does.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it.
- 16:55Speaker 2: What's your call sign on the radio?
- 16:56Speaker 12: It's not like cars broken down on the side of
- 16:58Speaker 12: the road. Cars on the side of the road is
- 17:00Speaker 12: a bad sign for the economy.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Thank you. That's the Jeff Fisher economic.
- 17:06Speaker 5: It is.
- 17:07Speaker 2: That is my economic indicator right there. And by the way,
- 17:10Speaker 2: there are more cars along the side of the road lately.
- 17:13Speaker 2: There was three of them on my way here. And
- 17:16Speaker 2: that's an issue. I'm glad to see that you recognize that, Jason,
- 17:19Speaker 2: because that is an economic indicator because people just wait
- 17:22Speaker 2: too long to fix their cars and then they break
- 17:24Speaker 2: down because they can't afford it.
- 17:26Speaker 7: But I do got to ask you, Jason, what's your
- 17:28Speaker 7: call sign on your radio?
- 17:31Speaker 12: Brown guy, 406.
- 17:34Speaker 2: I like that. I'm not going to ask you to
- 17:35Speaker 2: do the horn again, man. I don't want you to
- 17:37Speaker 2: hurt anybody out there, okay?
- 17:39Speaker 12: You don't got to ask for it. You get it.
- 17:47Speaker 2: That's awesome. So if you're working for a company, then
- 17:50Speaker 2: they're paying for the diesel? Yes, sir.
- 17:54Speaker 12: They're paying for the diesel, but I always try to
- 17:56Speaker 12: be as efficient as possible.
- 17:58Speaker 4: You got to be a company man.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Absolutely. Do they fill it up at the place of employment,
- 18:03Speaker 2: or do you have to fill it up elsewhere?
- 18:05Speaker 12: I fill it up wherever I find it cheapest.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Yeah, so you're just using the company card, gotcha.
- 18:14Speaker 12: Yeah, it's definitely gone down, but I noticed this morning,
- 18:18Speaker 12: like you were saying, that the signs are showing it's
- 18:20Speaker 12: gone up.
- 18:21Speaker 4: A little bit.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand. We were on a good trajectory,
- 18:26Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, oh, no, we're going
- 18:27Speaker 2: to go back up again. I don't like it. I
- 18:29Speaker 2: don't like it.
- 18:30Speaker 12: Well, the polls were swinging kind of in the Republicans' favor,
- 18:34Speaker 12: so they had to do something.
- 18:37Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good point. I love that thought a lot.
- 18:40Speaker 2: All right, Jason, I appreciate it. You be safe out there, man.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. I appreciate it very much.
- 18:46Speaker 13: Take care, Jimmy.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Stay safe.
- 18:48Speaker 10: Take care, Chris.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Stay safe and make sure if you're hauling anything that
- 18:52Speaker 2: could get you back into prison, don't let anybody know
- 18:56Speaker 2: you're doing it. Like blow your horn a thousand times
- 19:00Speaker 2: and get pulled over. Don't do that. Don't do that.
- 19:03Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's awesome. I appreciate it. That's good. Jason
- 19:06Speaker 2: from Tennessee. That's awesome. Thank you. Dave in Massachusetts. Dave,

- 20:39Speaker 2: 888-900-3393 is the phone number. Pat Unleashed at Trucker Friday.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Thank you for coming along for the ride today. Pat
- 20:46Speaker 2: is off doing something. Another Tupperware convention? It is, I think. Oh,
- 20:54Speaker 2: that's awesome. I wasn't going to say it out loud,
- 20:55Speaker 2: but I think it is.
- 20:56Speaker 7: Oh, that's awesome.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is. I hope that... Tupperware was
- 21:01Speaker 2: really struggling there for a little while, so I hope
- 21:03Speaker 2: that this convention kind of moves them in the right direction.
- 21:07Speaker 7: Well, they need the right talking points for how to
- 21:09Speaker 7: sell the Tupperware.
- 21:10Speaker 2: They definitely need the right talking points.
- 21:12Speaker 7: And plastic is not doing so well right now.
- 21:16Speaker 2: No, it is not. It's getting more expensive to make.
- 21:19Speaker 2: They use something. Petro. Oh, yeah, Petro Technology. Oh, really? Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Is there a problem with Petro? There is, yeah. It's
- 21:28Speaker 2: pretty high.
- 21:29Speaker 7: But I hear that the Strait is open.
- 21:31Speaker 2: That's what I keep hearing. That's what I keep hearing.
- 21:34Speaker 2: But then I hear that the damn Houthis are back
- 21:37Speaker 2: at it again. And I just read where the UK
- 21:41Speaker 2: now is going to help Saudi. There's no such thing
- 21:43Speaker 2: as the UK. Oh, I'm sorry. The UAK will deploy
- 21:47Speaker 2: fighter jets to Saudi to help them fight the Houthis.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 21:52Speaker 2: So whatever it takes. I mean, I don't understand why
- 21:55Speaker 2: the Houthis are such a big deal. Get rid of them.
- 21:59Speaker 2: They're like flies flying around. I feel like. They love
- 22:04Speaker 2: hearing that about themselves, too. And they're busy buzzing around,
- 22:09Speaker 2: shooting at the airports, and Saudi had to cancel their
- 22:12Speaker 2: big gathering because of the Houthis. The U.A.K. was unhappy
- 22:16Speaker 2: about that. They wanted that big gathering, so they're going
- 22:18Speaker 2: to help out a little bit. You know, okay, at
- 22:21Speaker 2: least get it taken care of, whether Saudi can do
- 22:23Speaker 2: it themselves or help with the U.A.K., whatever happens. All right,
- 22:28Speaker 2: so Everett. In Iowa, Everett, how are you on Trucker Friday? Hello, Everett. Oh,
- 22:39Speaker 2: this is Dan. Dan in Ohio. Hey, how you doing?
- 22:42Speaker 11: Hey, guys.
- 22:43Speaker 2: He didn't punch Everett. Dan in Ohio, how are you?
- 22:46Speaker 11: Hey, great, man.
- 22:47Speaker 5: Great, man.
- 22:47Speaker 14: I've been putting a lot of thought for the last
- 22:50Speaker 14: month into how we can solve the rising gas prices
- 22:54Speaker 14: in the Strait of Hormuz and what we can really do.
- 22:56Speaker 14: And I think I came up with the ultimate solution.
- 23:01Speaker 11: I think we can put a.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I'm not laughing, Dan. I trust you. Go ahead, Dan.
- 23:06Speaker 2: I trust you.
- 23:07Speaker 14: I think we can put flock cameras on both sides
- 23:10Speaker 14: and we can really monitor the shipping.
- 23:12Speaker 2: That's what I thought we were doing anyway. That's what
- 23:14Speaker 2: our military is there for. It's the military blockade. I mean,
- 23:18Speaker 2: they are our flock cameras.
- 23:21Speaker 14: We can save money with these flock cameras. We can
- 23:23Speaker 14: just put them up all across with the little solar
- 23:25Speaker 14: panels on top.
- 23:26Speaker 11: It's just magical.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I love that idea, except the Houthis were going to
- 23:30Speaker 2: take them down. The Houthis are going to take them
- 23:33Speaker 2: down the first day. Yeah, the first day the Houthis
- 23:35Speaker 2: are going to take it down. So, man, we can
- 23:38Speaker 2: give it a shot, I guess.
- 23:40Speaker 11: You guys know why there aren't any Walmarts in Iran, right?
- 23:43Speaker 2: Here we go. Yeah. No, Dan, why aren't there any
- 23:47Speaker 2: Walmarts in Iran?
- 23:50Speaker 11: They're all Target's.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Dan in Ohio.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Be here all women. I don't want to
- 23:59Speaker 2: mess with the button. Do you really want to do that? No,
- 24:00Speaker 2: I don't want to start searching on that thing. That
- 24:02Speaker 2: thing drives me crazy. You have to be specific. All right,
- 24:07Speaker 2: so Everett in Iowa. This time we'll see if it works.
- 24:10Speaker 2: It does. Everett in Iowa. How are you?
- 24:14Speaker 10: Oh, somewhere between the splat and the crap, but I'm
- 24:17Speaker 10: working at it.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Okay, good.
- 24:20Speaker 10: It feels a little high, but it isn't terrible.
- 24:27Speaker 5: Not yet.
- 24:28Speaker 2: So do you drive just in Iowa every day, or
- 24:32Speaker 2: do you cross state lines?
- 24:34Speaker 10: Oh, I go everywhere. I do about 150,000 miles a year.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Nice. So what are you hauling? I haul anything because
- 24:44Speaker 2: I need to make a dollar, I know. But what
- 24:47Speaker 2: are you hauling right now?
- 24:49Speaker 12: I have a bull rack.
- 24:50Speaker 10: I'm trying to pick up some stray heifers.
- 24:53Speaker 2: No, I'm not talking about what you're doing in your
- 24:56Speaker 2: personal life. I'm talking about what you're hauling on the semi.
- 25:01Speaker 10: I deliver new trailers.
- 25:04Speaker 5: There it is.
- 25:05Speaker 2: There it is.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 25:06Speaker 7: There it is.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 25:07Speaker 8: Okay.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I like it. Everett, how close are you to Dubuque, Iowa?
- 25:13Speaker 10: I am probably about three hours.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Three hours? Three hours.
- 25:19Speaker 7: Well, President Trump is going to be there this weekend
- 25:21Speaker 7: on Sunday.
- 25:21Speaker 10: He was in Sioux City where I was last night.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Awesome. Did you stop in?
- 25:28Speaker 10: No, I did not.
- 25:31Speaker 2: He has to deliver the heifers. He's looking for heifers.
- 25:35Speaker 2: You might be able to pick up a couple at
- 25:36Speaker 2: the rally. I don't know. Just a thought. so uh
- 25:46Speaker 2: do you president trump incited an erection oh okay see
- 25:51Speaker 2: then we don't need that that's that that's not helpful
- 25:54Speaker 2: so uh when you uh when you're out there uh
- 25:57Speaker 2: holland uh what how much does it cost to fill
- 26:00Speaker 2: up your your.
- 26:01Speaker 10: Tank Usually between $ 850 and $ 970 every other day.
- 26:06Speaker 2: So if you're putting 150,000 miles a year on your truck,
- 26:12Speaker 2: that gas tank is doing some damage to your wallet.
- 26:15Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that.
- 26:16Speaker 10: Oh, most definitely.
- 26:17Speaker 2: So are you charging more to haul, or are you
- 26:22Speaker 2: just taking the bite?
- 26:26Speaker 10: It's factored in a little bit, but there's... Actually, a
- 26:32Speaker 10: little more demand on hauling stuff right now because businesses
- 26:38Speaker 10: are picking up.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Yeah, good. I mean, that's what President Trump is trying
- 26:43Speaker 2: to do.
- 26:45Speaker 6: Correct.
- 26:47Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 26:47Speaker 10: Everybody was waiting for the election with Biden to find
- 26:51Speaker 10: out whether they should buy new equipment or not.
- 26:53Speaker 2: And they did. And they also, you know, with the building,
- 26:56Speaker 2: it takes a while with the new infrastructure that, you know,
- 26:59Speaker 2: Donald Trump wants to do with the building of the
- 27:01Speaker 2: factories and the building of the data centers. Those are
- 27:03Speaker 2: all jobs that are created because of that. And so,
- 27:07Speaker 2: you know, we need to continue that on. No question.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I see a lot of I mean, the gas prices
- 27:11Speaker 2: have to come down. I don't know what what. It
- 27:14Speaker 2: has to be done with that, but it has to
- 27:16Speaker 2: definitely come down because that will jumpstart the rest of
- 27:21Speaker 2: the economy, and that has to happen. Oh, without a doubt. Yeah,
- 27:26Speaker 2: that definitely has to happen. I know that Trump is
- 27:31Speaker 2: giving some money away to help the farmers, and I
- 27:36Speaker 2: think he's doing something. Where did I see this? Oh,
- 27:39Speaker 2: he's going to provide the $ 8 billion... relief to farmers
- 27:44Speaker 2: for the fertilizer and diesel costs. And the Energy Department
- 27:48Speaker 2: said they're going to loan up to 315,000 barrels of
- 27:52Speaker 2: oil from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve. That's the
- 27:57Speaker 2: first time that's happened. And it's going to help decrease
- 27:59Speaker 2: heating oil prices. So, I mean, we're trying to get
- 28:03Speaker 2: it going. No question. And I see a lot of
- 28:06Speaker 2: truckers on the road, man, every day in this neck
- 28:09Speaker 2: of the woods at DFW. So bless your heart for
- 28:12Speaker 2: out there hauling stuff. I appreciate it, Everett. Is there
- 28:15Speaker 2: a horn on your truck, or is it broken, or
- 28:17Speaker 2: what's going on?
- 28:20Speaker 10: Oh, Oscar, there's this bus here next to me.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. Tell him I said hi when you
- 28:28Speaker 2: help him out of the ditch. Thank you, Everett. I
- 28:30Speaker 2: appreciate it. 888-900-3393 is the phone number on Trucker Friday.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Pat Gray off.
- 28:37Speaker 7: And before we leave, here's what the mark is predicting.
- 28:41Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 28:41Speaker 2: For gas prices.
- 28:43Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 28:43Speaker 7: They're saying that it's going to be $ 4. 29 as your
- 28:46Speaker 7: national average this week.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Oh, no, honey. Oh, this week, okay. This week.
- 28:53Speaker 5: $ 4. 29.
- 28:53Speaker 7: That's what the market is predicting.
- 28:54Speaker 2: I mean, it's three... Some places have it at $ 3. 99
- 28:57Speaker 2: around here, but most of the places have it like $ 3.
- 29:00Speaker 3: 60.
- 29:01Speaker 2: And it was down to three... Forty-something. Forty. I think
- 29:04Speaker 2: I paid $ 3. 35 at the Walmarts the other day.
- 29:06Speaker 3: So.
- 29:09Speaker 2: And that's here, I know. I know. I got the
- 29:12Speaker 2: rest of you are paying closer to the $ 4 one.
- 29:15Speaker 2: But we need to get the president on the phone.
- 29:20Speaker 2: He needs to do something about it. I know he's
- 29:23Speaker 2: got nothing going on this weekend. We'll break down his schedule.
- 29:27Speaker 2: coming up on the show because he's going to be
- 29:30Speaker 2: busier than you and I. I guarantee you that. When
- 29:32Speaker 2: I'm watching college football, he's going to be traveling. Wait,
- 29:34Speaker 2: I'm going to be camping this weekend.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Oh.
- 29:37Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 29:37Speaker 2: So he's going to be a lot busier than you.

- 30:53Speaker 2: They made them too good. Yeah, they need to have something.
- 30:55Speaker 2: That's the thing. You need to have the light bulb mentality.

- 31:54Speaker 2: I had them convinced I was Batman because they weren't
- 31:57Speaker 2: allowed in the basement. That was the Batcave. In reality,
- 32:02Speaker 2: I grew my weed down there. Are you for real?
- 32:06Speaker 2: Is that in the tweet? That's what it says. That's
- 32:09Speaker 2: what it says. That's awesome. It is not. Do you
- 32:13Speaker 2: still grow it? Do illegal substances grow in your basement?
- 32:16Speaker 2: Do you still grow it? I would like to know.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Free range prison. Yes. Oh, wait, I'm answering for you.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for you. Dalton Bell, somehow

- 32:29Speaker 2: What are you doing? That is so mean. That's just mean.
- 32:31Speaker 2: We don't tolerate that here. And Dirty Mule says, I
- 32:35Speaker 2: feel like there should be incoming missiles after that. There's
- 32:42Speaker 2: no doubt about that. Someone definitely ran to their bunker. Absolutely.
- 32:46Speaker 2: They ducked and covered very much. That was awesome. That

- 33:20Speaker 2: do with it?
- 33:21Speaker 5: Well, we do kind of half. We do gas stations

- 33:33Speaker 7: or do you got some Iranian oil? Which one are
- 33:35Speaker 7: you hauling today?
- 33:36Speaker 5: Yeah, I see it has a little bit of seasoning
- 33:38Speaker 5: to it. I think it's Venezuelan. It tastes different.
- 33:44Speaker 2: It tastes different. So how much of a nightmare? The
- 33:48Speaker 2: port that you're going to, we've heard stories from different
- 33:52Speaker 2: drivers that it's a nightmare going to different ports. So
- 33:56Speaker 2: the port that you're going to, easy to get in
- 33:58Speaker 2: and out of, or is it a nightmare?
- 34:01Speaker 5: No, it's easy to get out of. Sometimes, you know,
- 34:03Speaker 5: it depends if they haven't received their fuel because it
- 34:05Speaker 5: comes from, like, you know, anywhere around the world. Right.
- 34:10Speaker 5: It depends if one place hasn't received their fuel or
- 34:13Speaker 5: they have it at a higher cost because of whatever happened,
- 34:16Speaker 5: you know, in the political stuff. Everybody tends to go
- 34:20Speaker 5: to the other place because it might be two cents cheaper.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Right.
- 34:23Speaker 5: You've got millions of trucks trying to get to that place. Because,
- 34:26Speaker 5: you know, two cents cheaper per truck, 8,000 gallons, it's
- 34:29Speaker 5: a lot of money.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Do you guys fight it out to get in line
- 34:32Speaker 2: for the cheaper gas?
- 34:34Speaker 5: We don't fight it out, but we try to, you know,
- 34:37Speaker 5: go real fast. I try to get there because three
- 34:40Speaker 5: trucks can mean half an hour to wait to get loaded.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Right, right.
- 34:43Speaker 5: You know, because you've got to make a line.
- 34:46Speaker 8: Right.
- 34:47Speaker 5: One by one. It takes about 10 minutes to.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Load each truck. When you're fighting in line for the
- 34:53Speaker 2: cheaper fuel at the port, when do they tell you?
- 34:56Speaker 2: Do they have a guy that comes along and goes,
- 34:58Speaker 2: you're out. We're going to be out of fuel after
- 35:01Speaker 2: the guy that's in front of you. Get the hell
- 35:03Speaker 2: out of here. Does that ever happen?
- 35:05Speaker 5: No, it doesn't really happen like that. If it does happen,
- 35:08Speaker 5: you really just.
- 35:08Speaker 7: You're so stupid to think it happens like that, Jeff Fisher.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't tell us. Those things are between the dispatch.
- 35:16Speaker 5: They just tell us, go get this amount and take
- 35:18Speaker 5: it there.
- 35:19Speaker 2: What do you think this is, 1940s? Where we're just, hey, stupid.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Get out of here. I'm just asking questions, that's all.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I just want to know.
- 35:27Speaker 7: That's going to be my next question. How do you
- 35:29Speaker 7: know that that port is two cents cheaper... So now
- 35:33Speaker 7: you answer that because there's a dispatch.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Yeah, the dispatch. See, that's how you ask those questions.
- 35:39Speaker 5: The dispatch knows more or less. It changes every day.
- 35:42Speaker 2: There's not a guy that comes out and tells you
- 35:45Speaker 2: when you're parked out there.
- 35:46Speaker 7: Hey, today's at $ 0.
- 35:48Speaker 2: 03.
- 35:50Speaker 5: $ 0. 03. I do tell you this. A lot of times
- 35:53Speaker 5: when the price goes up, there's a big price hike,
- 35:56Speaker 5: which for them a big price hike is like $ 0.
- 35:58Speaker 9: 05.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Oh, sure.
- 35:59Speaker 9: A lot.
- 36:01Speaker 5: They tend, people stop ordering, so they hold back, hoping
- 36:04Speaker 5: that the next.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Day- It's going to be cheaper.
- 36:07Speaker 5: Right. They go ahead and buy three loads at a
- 36:10Speaker 5: five cents higher, and tomorrow it drops 10 cents.
- 36:12Speaker 2: That's a lot of money.
- 36:14Speaker 5: That's why you see the different prices sometimes at different
- 36:17Speaker 5: gas stations.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Right.
- 36:18Speaker 5: It depends when they got it.
- 36:19Speaker 2: But see, the thing that my understanding was is that when,
- 36:24Speaker 2: and this is just my understanding, so again, I- I
- 36:28Speaker 2: was thinking there was a guy that was telling you that, too.
- 36:30Speaker 2: But that the company, the corporate, if you're a corporate station,
- 36:34Speaker 2: the company is either making or eating that money. The
- 36:39Speaker 2: gas station owner, the guy that owns the station, he's
- 36:44Speaker 2: just making what he makes, no matter, you know, whatever
- 36:47Speaker 2: the price is, he makes his penny or whatever. Because
- 36:50Speaker 2: it used to be, like you said, if I got
- 36:53Speaker 2: gas one day that was 10 cents cheaper... and then
- 36:56Speaker 2: I put gas in there that was five cents cheaper,
- 36:59Speaker 2: that was more money to me. But I don't think
- 37:02Speaker 2: the gas station people make that anymore. That's just the owners, right?
- 37:06Speaker 2: The corporate, those damn corporate greeter bastards.
- 37:10Speaker 5: To my knowledge, if you own the gas station and
- 37:13Speaker 5: you have a brand name on it, like, you know,
- 37:16Speaker 5: the big major ones, you make primarily your money on
- 37:19Speaker 5: all the soda and candy and.
- 37:20Speaker 2: All that stuff. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
- 37:22Speaker 5: If you afford that big company, you get a tiny
- 37:25Speaker 5: percentage per gallon.
- 37:27Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter how much that gallon costs the company.
- 37:29Speaker 2: The company is the one that's making the money on
- 37:31Speaker 2: what's sitting in your tanks when they come. Yeah, I
- 37:36Speaker 2: got it.
- 37:36Speaker 5: Okay.
- 37:37Speaker 2: See, so you're not an idiot. Yeah, you got it right.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Well done. So listen, I think I hear the guy
- 37:43Speaker 2: coming up to your truck to tell you that they're
- 37:45Speaker 2: out of gas at the port that you're in. So
- 37:48Speaker 2: did your fuel tanker have a horn or anything on it? Oh, yeah.
- 37:54Speaker 5: It has two horns.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
- 37:56Speaker 5: There you go.
- 38:00Speaker 2: That's two of them?
- 38:02Speaker 9: Yep.
- 38:03Speaker 5: Ooh. RJ. Yeah, you can. It gets distorted out here.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Oh, okay. It's distorted.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 38:10Speaker 2: It's the microphone. All right. Yeah, it wasn't because it
- 38:13Speaker 2: sounded kind of, I don't know.
- 38:15Speaker 5: I got my headphones on, though.
- 38:20Speaker 2: RJ, thank you very much. You be safe out there, man.
- 38:22Speaker 2: I appreciate it. All right. You take care of yourself.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Trucker Friday here on Pat Gray Unleashed, 888-900-3393. One in
- 38:32Speaker 2: five Americans say they have had to cut back on
- 38:35Speaker 2: groceries to afford their electricity bills. No kidding. I just
- 38:42Speaker 2: got my bill. I can't even. I don't even. I
- 38:44Speaker 2: can't even. I can tell you mine so you can
- 38:46Speaker 2: predict what you're saying. I already know. Oh, you already know?
- 38:48Speaker 2: I already know because I was already told two days
- 38:51Speaker 2: ago that it came in, and it's a nightmare.
- 38:54Speaker 7: Mine was 360 something.
- 38:59Speaker 2: And that's, I mean, I beg for that. That would
- 39:04Speaker 2: be fantastic. I would love that. But it's not. Those
- 39:08Speaker 2: damn data centers, man.
- 39:09Speaker 6: Right.
- 39:10Speaker 2: That's what it is. Those damn data centers. That's what
- 39:12Speaker 2: it is. Oh, so while roughly a quarter of consumers
- 39:17Speaker 2: are turning down their heating and air conditioning, turning it down,
- 39:20Speaker 2: I've opened up the windows. We're sleeping outside. I don't care, man.
- 39:23Speaker 2: What do you keep yours at? We're cooking on a
- 39:24Speaker 2: fire that I built in the backyard, man. Holy cow.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Because I keep mine at 79.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Honey. No, no, honey. That's unacceptable. I'm not doing that.
- 39:36Speaker 7: I lost the weight, so honestly, I am so much
- 39:39Speaker 7: more comfortable.
- 39:40Speaker 2: I am not doing that. I will say this.
- 39:41Speaker 7: Losing the weight has helped me tolerate 79. I get
- 39:44Speaker 7: cold at 78. I can see why Stu had a
- 39:49Speaker 7: stupid blankie for the last 30 years.
- 39:52Speaker 2: If you start becoming a Stu, we're having a little chat. No,
- 39:57Speaker 2: I have my jacket. I just put on my jacket.
- 40:00Speaker 2: 80% of the people who have lived in the same
- 40:01Speaker 2: house for at least three years say their electricity bills
- 40:04Speaker 2: have increased over that time. No kidding. That's according to
- 40:09Speaker 2: a national survey of more than 2,000 adults by the
- 40:12Speaker 2: nonprofit advocacy group, the Consumer Reports. The largest share, 28%,
- 40:17Speaker 2: said their bills had surged between 20% and 49% over
- 40:22Speaker 2: that period. Yeah, I'm in that. Electricity prices, according to this,
- 40:27Speaker 2: across major U.S. cities have jumped 14% in the last
- 40:31Speaker 2: three years. I feel like that's low. I feel like
- 40:34Speaker 2: it's jumped more than that. I mean, just by what
- 40:36Speaker 2: we're paying, 14% really is more than that. I'm sorry,
- 40:41Speaker 2: that's just not right. I disagree with Consumer Reports. I
- 40:49Speaker 2: don't care what kind of consumer advocacy group they've been
- 40:51Speaker 2: for a thousand years. I disagree with that.
- 40:54Speaker 5: The U.S.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Cities have jumped more than 14% on those electricity bills.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Holy cow. Mike in Michigan, a former trucker. So you're
- 41:04Speaker 2: not on the road now. You're not in a truck.
- 41:06Speaker 2: I don't even know if I should talk to you.
- 41:08Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 41:09Speaker 6: No. Mike from Indiana.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Oh, this is our Mike. This is our Mike. We
- 41:18Speaker 2: talked about you yesterday on overtime.
- 41:21Speaker 5: I know.
- 41:21Speaker 6: I've been hearing you for the last three weeks saying it.
- 41:23Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Well, that was prior to. Well, we did talk.
- 41:26Speaker 6: I've been trying.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mike.
- 41:30Speaker 6: Let me first say good morning to you and Chris.
- 41:33Speaker 5: Morning, Mike.
- 41:34Speaker 6: And praying for Keith.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Always, always. Yes.
- 41:38Speaker 6: Always, always, always. And I want to let you know.
- 41:41Speaker 6: I'm voting Republican.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Thank you. We mentioned that yesterday on Overtime.
- 41:45Speaker 5: I know.
- 41:46Speaker 2: I will say this. Here's the thing. Again, today, it
- 41:51Speaker 2: says Mike in Michigan on the screen. So I don't
- 41:55Speaker 2: care where you say you're from. If it's on the screen,
- 41:58Speaker 2: that's where you're from.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Okay?
- 42:02Speaker 6: Well, he was answering the calls. He said, oh, I
- 42:05Speaker 6: remember you. And I told him, oh, I'm from Indiana.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. I'm happy that you've changed your mind.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Okay?
- 42:13Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 42:14Speaker 9: Oh, go ahead.
- 42:15Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
- 42:16Speaker 2: The country needs not vote for these socialist, communist, Islamists.
- 42:24Speaker 2: It can't happen. It just can't happen.
- 42:25Speaker 6: And here's what changed my mind is, The president and
- 42:29Speaker 6: the Republicans finally started taking it seriously, you know, before,
- 42:34Speaker 6: before I called president Trump, wasn't going out on all
- 42:37Speaker 6: these rallies. It'll, it'll be where it'll be. And if
- 42:42Speaker 6: that was their attitude, then that was going to be
- 42:45Speaker 6: my attitude, whatever.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Right.
- 42:47Speaker 6: But now, now that they're taking it seriously, I'll take
- 42:50Speaker 6: it seriously.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Good. I'm happy to hear that very much.
- 42:53Speaker 6: And I know it's a trucker Friday and I used
- 42:55Speaker 6: to be a trucker, uh, 30 years ago, I drove
- 42:57Speaker 6: for a little bit over the road about a year.
- 42:59Speaker 6: And then I went into the steel mills, hazardous material.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Oh, wow. That's fun.
- 43:07Speaker 6: So I'm not punking the trucker Friday.
- 43:11Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I appreciate it. So you don't live in Michigan.
- 43:15Speaker 2: You live in Indiana, right? I live in Indiana, correct.
- 43:20Speaker 6: I spent 27 years here at U.S. Steel before I
- 43:25Speaker 6: got disabled.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Where is that in Indiana?
- 43:31Speaker 6: Northwest.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Northwest, okay.
- 43:33Speaker 5: Northwest, yeah.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, gotcha, okay.
- 43:35Speaker 5: U.S.
- 43:35Speaker 6: Steel, the old Bethlehem Steel.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Midwest.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Holy cow, yeah.
- 43:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Did you have a steel bar ball on you or something?
- 43:45Speaker 6: No, just had both hips replaced, three knee surgeries, back surgery.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Welcome to my world, Mike. Welcome to my world, Mike.
- 43:54Speaker 6: I hear you, Jeffy. I hear you. Well, you know what?
- 43:58Speaker 6: Once I got out of the trucking and hired into
- 44:01Speaker 6: the mill, it's tough on your body.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. Hey, Mike. You know how hard it
- 44:05Speaker 2: is sitting here talking to this microphone? I swear to God.
- 44:09Speaker 2: You know how hard I worked this tongue.
- 44:11Speaker 7: To the bone for you? You've said that for a
- 44:13Speaker 7: long time. Mike, I have a question because we do
- 44:15Speaker 7: have the comment that you commented on YouTube saying, hey,
- 44:19Speaker 7: this is Mike from Indiana. But I just want to
- 44:22Speaker 7: point out, and Joe, you don't have to zoom into
- 44:23Speaker 7: his photo. People can do that themselves. You are jacked, bro.
- 44:27Speaker 7: That profile picture, you got muscles, Mr.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Mike.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Is that your Grindr profile picture? What are we doing here?
- 44:36Speaker 6: No, no, no. That was 2019.
- 44:39Speaker 2: Just Tinder. It's just your Tinder profile. Oh, okay.
- 44:45Speaker 6: But now if you go into my new profiles out there,
- 44:48Speaker 6: you'll see me. I'm Santa Claus. I got a long beard.
- 44:52Speaker 6: It's now colored orange for Halloween because I got to.
- 44:54Speaker 2: My gosh. The kids love it. Do the girls get mad,
- 45:00Speaker 2: or the guys, get mad when you show up and
- 45:02Speaker 2: look like that after they have swiped right at your
- 45:04Speaker 2: Tinder profile with you being jacked like that?
- 45:08Speaker 1: I would be mad.
- 45:10Speaker 2: I would be mad.
- 45:10Speaker 7: If I saw you on my Grindr and I swiped
- 45:12Speaker 7: right on you.
- 45:13Speaker 2: And you show up as Santa Claus, I would be mad.
- 45:16Speaker 6: Stop, stop. There's no Grindr. I once had a Tinder profile,
- 45:25Speaker 6: but that's been.
- 45:25Speaker 2: A long time ago. Thank you very much.
- 45:28Speaker 7: So that was your Tinder profile.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Absolutely. That's 100% right. Mike, thank you very much, man.
- 45:35Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. And you take care of yourself
- 45:39Speaker 2: and be healthy, okay?
- 45:41Speaker 6: You too, brother.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Jason in Wisconsin. Welcome to Trucker Friday.
- 45:47Speaker 2: 888-900-3393 is the phone number. How are you, sir?
- 45:50Speaker 11: Oh, I'm pretty good. Good morning, and I'm playing some

- 46:06Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning.
- 46:08Speaker 2: There it is. Thank you. Is he talking? He's gone, right?
- 46:19Speaker 2: I've got these head... Look, I got rid of my
- 46:21Speaker 2: earpiece because I couldn't hear anything. Now that just went away, right?
- 46:25Speaker 2: That wasn't the headphones. No, that was in you. That
- 46:26Speaker 2: was the headphones.
- 46:27Speaker 5: Okay.
- 46:28Speaker 2: So he just went away.
- 46:29Speaker 5: All right.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Well, thank you. I appreciate you calling. Thank you for
- 46:32Speaker 2: praying for Keith. And it's all good. I appreciate it.
- 46:35Speaker 2: Be safe out there. If you're on the road, be
- 46:38Speaker 2: safe out there. And just randomly today for me, blow
- 46:42Speaker 2: your horn. You know, just for me. You're driving down
- 46:45Speaker 2: whatever interstate and some car is passing you, blow your horn.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Just for me. That's all I ask is just do

- 46:59Speaker 2: Jeff Fisher here with you. Chris Cruz here with you.
- 47:02Speaker 2: Pat is at the Tupperware Convention. I don't think it
- 47:06Speaker 2: was announced where the convention is going to be, so
- 47:08Speaker 2: I don't want to say because he slipped the other
- 47:10Speaker 2: day when he was leaving, and he told me where
- 47:13Speaker 2: it was going to be, and I thought, ooh.
- 47:14Speaker 1: It's at the Mothership.
- 47:15Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 47:17Speaker 2: I don't know that we should say anything about it.
- 47:19Speaker 2: I will say that the new list of the raddiest
- 47:24Speaker 2: cities in the United States is out, and we have
- 47:29Speaker 2: to get to that. The raddiest? The raddiest cities. So
- 47:31Speaker 2: that's the most rats. The most rats in the United States.
- 47:34Speaker 2: So New York, right? Oh, you would think that, but
- 47:37Speaker 2: it's not. Number one.
- 47:39Speaker 5: What?
- 47:39Speaker 2: What?
- 47:40Speaker 3: What?
- 47:56Speaker 1: Pat Gray Unleashed.
- 48:09Speaker 6: Pat Gray is here on Blaze TV and Radio Network.
- 48:13Speaker 2: The Pat Gray Program is on for you.
- 48:18Speaker 5: Good morning, Americans.
- 48:20Speaker 4: It's Friday.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Welcome to it. Jeff Fisher in for Pat today, along
- 48:24Speaker 2: with Chris Cruz. Pat is at his Tupperware convention at
- 48:27Speaker 2: a special location. Only he knows. It is Trucker Friday,
- 48:31Speaker 2: 888-900-3393 is the phone number. And you can reach out
- 48:36Speaker 2: on X as well, at Pat Unleashed or at JeffyJFR.
- 48:40Speaker 2: We have some truckers on the line already. I want
- 48:44Speaker 2: to say hello to Blake J. Harris. He sent us
- 48:50Speaker 2: the new book, Emperor of Nothing. There you go. Emperor
- 48:55Speaker 2: of Nothing. The making of Larry David. And I was
- 48:58Speaker 2: just reading about this the other day, and I thought, oh,
- 49:01Speaker 2: you know, that'd be fascinating because there's other stories in
- 49:05Speaker 2: here other than his.
- 49:07Speaker 8: Yes.
- 49:07Speaker 2: I'm pretty familiar with his, but maybe there's some stuff
- 49:09Speaker 2: in here I don't know. However, Blake was kind enough
- 49:13Speaker 2: to send a copy. Love you, Blake Harris. You remember
- 49:17Speaker 2: we were supposed to go to his thing at South
- 49:19Speaker 2: by Southwest. at the beginning of COVID we had the
- 49:22Speaker 2: big season movie premiere everything we were set to go
- 49:26Speaker 2: we're going to be part of the red carpet event
- 49:30Speaker 2: something happened on 2020 there was a COVID thing that
- 49:33Speaker 2: they said we're not doing that anymore there's not going
- 49:35Speaker 2: to be any red carpet shutting it all down and
- 49:38Speaker 2: so that didn't happen And I was really bummed about that.
- 49:41Speaker 2: But anyway, Blake is a good man and I'm sure
- 49:43Speaker 2: this is going to be a good book. It's going
- 49:44Speaker 2: to give me something to do next week. Uh, the
- 49:47Speaker 2: show is off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And, uh, We'll
- 49:54Speaker 2: be back on Friday. Yeah, we'll be back on Friday.
- 49:56Speaker 2: We're going to celebrate Halloween, do some fun stuff. So
- 49:59Speaker 2: I'll be able to get caught up on my murder podcast,
- 50:03Speaker 2: and I'll be able to read Blake's book, Emperor of Nothing.
- 50:05Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that. Thank you, Blake. I
- 50:08Speaker 2: appreciate it.
- 50:08Speaker 7: And you open it, and you find out something you
- 50:10Speaker 7: already didn't know.
- 50:11Speaker 2: Oh, I actually didn't know this. There's a story in
- 50:13Speaker 2: here that talks about how season three, no, fourth season
- 50:20Speaker 2: was when Seinfeld began to take over the world. And
- 50:23Speaker 2: it was because of the Olympics. The Olympics were on,
- 50:26Speaker 2: and they wanted to promote their shows, and they wanted
- 50:30Speaker 2: new Seinfeld shows. And Larry was on vacation, and he
- 50:32Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I'm not coming back to write new shows.
- 50:36Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. So they actually did a
- 50:41Speaker 2: guy by the name of Larry Charles wrote two episodes.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Those are the ones that they did. you know, for
- 50:47Speaker 2: the Olympics, which are, you know, completely different. But anyways.
- 50:51Speaker 7: And that's when Larry got fired and told you cannot
- 50:53Speaker 7: write ever again.
- 50:55Speaker 2: You stupid. That didn't happen.
- 50:58Speaker 8: No?
- 50:58Speaker 5: It did not. No?
- 51:00Speaker 2: It did not. That was just a footnote.
- 51:02Speaker 1: Right?
- 51:02Speaker 2: Those two I didn't write. Don't worry about it. It's fine.
- 51:04Speaker 2: Just a footnote. What a life.
- 51:07Speaker 7: And to be able to literally, because my understanding was
- 51:10Speaker 7: Blake talked to Larry like multiple times a week.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure. That's so cool. I'm sure, yeah. That
- 51:16Speaker 2: is the coolest thing in the world. And the guy's
- 51:18Speaker 2: still working.
- 51:19Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 51:19Speaker 2: I mean, it's just incredible. Absolutely. So I'm looking forward
- 51:22Speaker 2: to Emperor of Nothing by Blake J. Harris. Anton. Anton. Anton.
- 51:29Speaker 2: It's not Anton. It's Anton. Or Eitan. Is it Eitan? Sorry.
- 51:35Speaker 2: In Florida. How are you?
- 51:36Speaker 13: Miami.
- 51:37Speaker 5: What is it? Eitan.
- 51:38Speaker 8: Eitan the Jew from Miami.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Eitan the Jew from Miami. That's where Jews go. They
- 51:43Speaker 2: go right down 95 from New York once they come
- 51:46Speaker 2: into the country, and they end up in Miami. That's
- 51:48Speaker 2: the way it works. How are you?
- 51:50Speaker 11: We're everywhere.
- 51:54Speaker 8: Hebrew prayers for Keith.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I appreciate it. What are you hauling?
- 51:58Speaker 2: Are you out hauling today, or are you just sitting
- 52:00Speaker 2: around doing nothing?
- 52:04Speaker 8: Actually, I'm not driving today. I came off the road
- 52:08Speaker 8: in 2000. I drove over the road for about 10 years.
- 52:12Speaker 8: And then I drove a car.
- 52:13Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Ted. I really want to listen to your story. Like,
- 52:16Speaker 2: I really want to.
- 52:17Speaker 7: But we have a douchebag on the other side of
- 52:20Speaker 7: the wall that did not let you finish your Hebrew prayer.
- 52:23Speaker 7: And he just wanted to just, I heard it.
- 52:26Speaker 2: So I apologize for him and the show.
- 52:29Speaker 1: So go ahead.
- 52:31Speaker 7: Do your Hebrew prayer and then we can go for it.
- 52:34Speaker 2: All right.
- 52:35Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 52:35Speaker 8: It's just a simple, just, it's a simple prayer for healing.
- 52:42Speaker 2: See, was that so difficult, Jeffy? Oh, I thought you
- 52:45Speaker 2: were talking to him. No, I'm talking to you. You
- 52:47Speaker 2: didn't let him do that. It was so easy.
- 52:48Speaker 7: Now we have to waste time having explained to him
- 52:51Speaker 7: what it is.
- 52:52Speaker 2: No, I'm happy that we did. Okay. Go for it, buddy.
- 52:55Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. So you quit. So here's the thing.
- 52:58Speaker 2: You called down on Trucker Friday. You're a prior trucker. Former.
- 53:02Speaker 2: Former trucker.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 53:05Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 53:05Speaker 2: What are you doing now?
- 53:06Speaker 9: I do have.
- 53:08Speaker 8: Actually, I'm a disabled veteran, and I'm just living off
- 53:13Speaker 8: of veteran benefits.
- 53:14Speaker 2: My man right there. I knew I was going to
- 53:16Speaker 2: like you. You're a Jew, you're a veteran, and disabled.
- 53:20Speaker 2: I love you, sir.
- 53:23Speaker 11: And I'm a Republican.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Come on. Thank you for your service. We really appreciate it.
- 53:29Speaker 7: And as Jeffy will ask you, he will ask you,
- 53:32Speaker 7: where did you get disabled at?
- 53:34Speaker 2: Did you do Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait?
- 53:38Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, none of those. I was in
- 53:40Speaker 8: from 83 to 86. I got hit. I was operating
- 53:45Speaker 8: an M113 and got hit by the lid on the
- 53:51Speaker 8: driver's entrance.
- 53:53Speaker 2: And we're paying for that now?
- 53:56Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 53:57Speaker 2: What the hell?
- 53:59Speaker 8: I know residual effects years later.
- 54:01Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's as bad as Chris. Oh, my gosh.
- 54:08Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to continue talking to you.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 54:11Speaker 8: Let me just make a couple points. I do have
- 54:14Speaker 8: a couple things to say. The one thing I wanted
- 54:21Speaker 8: to say is the one thing, there's two things. One
- 54:23Speaker 8: thing I wanted to say is a lot of guys,
- 54:26Speaker 8: you're talking about the horns. Some of these jokers out here,
- 54:29Speaker 8: they're putting train horns.
- 54:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
- 54:34Speaker 13: Holy.
- 54:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Those things are, those things are loud. That will make
- 54:38Speaker 2: you jump.
- 54:40Speaker 8: Oh my goodness.
- 54:41Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 54:41Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. And you can, and some
- 54:43Speaker 2: of the, some of those jokers would put them on
- 54:45Speaker 2: the bottom of like pickup trucks and make you jump.
- 54:48Speaker 2: It makes, makes people jump for sure, man.
- 54:51Speaker 8: Man, you roll through a parking lot and let that
- 54:54Speaker 8: tank run.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Absolutely. You want to know what's fun. And it's not
- 54:57Speaker 2: fun for me. No, not for you. But for other people.
- 55:00Speaker 2: And say if you just make a U-turn in front
- 55:03Speaker 2: of a bus stop and then fire that horn up. Man,
- 55:07Speaker 2: that is... You don't do that. No, I'm not saying
- 55:09Speaker 2: don't do that. No, that's what I'm saying. Don't do that. Yeah,
- 55:12Speaker 2: don't do that. Oh my gosh, no. That's wrong. Especially
- 55:14Speaker 2: the old lady with the walker. She'll fall.
- 55:17Speaker 1: And they do.
- 55:18Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
- 55:20Speaker 2: They're loud. There's no doubt about that.
- 55:22Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 55:23Speaker 2: What's your second thing? Now that you're a disabled veteran,
- 55:28Speaker 2: we've got to let you finish.
- 55:29Speaker 8: I know it's so difficult, but I am very blessed,
- 55:33Speaker 8: and my gratitude is off the charts. I really thank
- 55:36Speaker 8: America for helping me get through these days.
- 55:40Speaker 2: Well, you're welcome.
- 55:43Speaker 8: The second part is I watch a lot of news
- 55:45Speaker 8: because I'm in front of a computer all day.
- 55:48Speaker 2: What else you got to do?
- 55:50Speaker 8: I saw a report about the profit margins of all
- 55:54Speaker 8: the huge conglomerates, the oil companies, BP, Exxon. There's four
- 56:00Speaker 8: or five of them. Take a look at their profit
- 56:05Speaker 8: margins in the last year. They have made billions.
- 56:11Speaker 5: What's going on?
- 56:12Speaker 8: When we talk about Russia and the Strait of Hormuz
- 56:16Speaker 8: and all the traffic of oil, Yet the oil companies
- 56:19Speaker 8: are making bank. They're making a lot more money.
- 56:23Speaker 1: I mean, huge increases.
- 56:25Speaker 2: What do we believe that that is? Are we blaming
- 56:28Speaker 2: that on the high prices that they're just covering up,
- 56:31Speaker 2: or are we just using more?
- 56:33Speaker 8: I think they're gouging the Americans. I think they're gouging
- 56:40Speaker 8: the entire planet. So they're making huge profit margins, yet
- 56:47Speaker 8: Everybody's getting oil, but they're making huge profit margins. I
- 56:52Speaker 8: don't understand how it all works, but it just doesn't
- 56:55Speaker 8: make sense how they're making so much more money, yet
- 57:00Speaker 8: the prices continue to rise. And I believe in capitalism.
- 57:05Speaker 8: I don't believe in putting caps on profits for companies.
- 57:10Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 57:12Speaker 8: But you've got monopolies. But it's just odd that nobody's
- 57:19Speaker 8: talking about it.
- 57:20Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Trump mentioned it, right? I mean, Trump went
- 57:23Speaker 2: after Exxon. Yeah, he used to pull a pulpit. Was
- 57:26Speaker 2: it Exxon? I think it was Exxon. One of them.
- 57:28Speaker 5: One of them.
- 57:28Speaker 2: He was saying, he was behind the Oval, in the Oval,
- 57:32Speaker 2: saying they were gouging. He said, bring it down. Yeah,
- 57:34Speaker 2: bring it down. What are you guys doing?
- 57:36Speaker 7: Help the American people.
- 57:37Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's definitely noticeable. And if the president
- 57:41Speaker 2: is calling you out, that seems to be an issue.
- 57:43Speaker 7: You may want to listen, because this one doesn't play around.
- 57:46Speaker 2: I know.
- 57:46Speaker 7: This one does not play around.
- 57:47Speaker 3: I know.
- 57:48Speaker 1: I know.
- 57:48Speaker 2: And thank you very much, man. I appreciate it. Thank
- 57:50Speaker 2: you for your service. You take care of there down
- 57:52Speaker 2: in Florida. You know, hang out on the beach and
- 57:55Speaker 2: all by the pool. And when you see Glenn, just
- 57:57Speaker 2: say hi to Glenn. Yeah, if you're walking around and
- 57:59Speaker 2: you see Glenn, just let him know. You know what?
- 58:01Speaker 1: Don't.
- 58:02Speaker 2: Just walk right by him. Just pretend like you don't
- 58:04Speaker 2: even know who he is. Welcome to Pat Gray Unleashed.

- 58:09Speaker 2: died yesterday. Tom Skerritt, he was 93. I would have never,
- 58:21Speaker 2: if you had asked me yesterday, Tom Skerritt, how old
- 58:24Speaker 2: is he? I would have said 75, maybe. But he
- 58:28Speaker 2: was 93. Rest in peace to Tom Skerritt. He's been
- 58:31Speaker 2: in so many huge movies, man. Top Gun.
- 58:34Speaker 7: I feel like that's the only one that people really
- 58:36Speaker 7: iconic picture of him at Top Gun.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Well, that's the Top Gun thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But,
- 58:41Speaker 2: I mean, he was in Steel Magnolias, which was great.
- 58:43Speaker 2: My family loves that stupid movie. Contact, great movie. Alien.
- 58:48Speaker 2: I mean, the guy is, he was in, like, I
- 58:50Speaker 2: think 100, what does IMDb? 176. Wow. Different, you know,
- 58:55Speaker 2: acting jobs. Yes, and that doesn't count. I didn't even
- 58:58Speaker 2: look at the producing and directing or anything like that.
- 59:01Speaker 2: But as far as just an actor, 176 jobs. And
- 59:04Speaker 2: some monster movies. I love Tom Skerritt. So, 93, you said?
- 59:10Speaker 8: 93.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Yeah, rest in peace to Tom Skerritt. Young buck. I know.
- 59:15Speaker 2: I know. I wonder if he was vaccinated. Okay. All right.
- 59:19Speaker 2: Heather in Virginia, you're on Trucker Friday here on Pat
- 59:23Speaker 2: Granley's Heather, it says on my screen, I'm just going
- 59:25Speaker 2: to point this out to you before we talk to you.
- 59:27Speaker 2: It says, wants to talk about truck drivers and nursing homes.
- 59:31Speaker 2: Is that where you work? You're trying to get a
- 59:35Speaker 2: little business happening? Is that what we're doing or what?
- 59:39Speaker 3: No, no business. I am in West Virginia.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Oh, that is a mistake. You're in West by God, Virginia,
- 59:48Speaker 2: not Virginia.
- 59:49Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Yeah, those are fighting words.
- 59:51Speaker 3: Way up in.
- 59:51Speaker 2: The northern panhandle.
- 59:53Speaker 3: Yeah. If you use your hand map, Jeffy, you wouldn't want.
- 59:56Speaker 5: To put it up so people can see it.
- 59:58Speaker 3: But if you flip yourself off with your left hand...
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: You got a West Virginia.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: Okay. I just know that you don't mess around. If
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: you're from West, by God, Virginia, then you don't want
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: to be called to say that you're from Virginia. And
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: I know that.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: And I apologize on behalf of our phone screener. So
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: go ahead, Heather. Welcome to the program.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: I run the central purchasing department in a nursing home.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: And I have a lot of truck drivers that work there.
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: With me.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: Oh, well, they're delivering your stuff, right? I mean, do
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: you just work for one nursing home or do they
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: have multiple nursing homes?
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: It is one family-owned nursing home.
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: That won't be around long. Go ahead.
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: It's been here for over 50 years.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Thank you very much. She got attitude. I love it.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: There's going to be some corporate buying coming real very soon,
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: but go ahead.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: No, there won't be. There will not be. And I
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: also want to do a shout out to my husband's
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: truck drivers because he is the batch man at a
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: concrete plant.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: There you go.
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: Excellent.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: If any of them are driving and listening, maybe they'll
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: give you a honk.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Absolutely. You don't have a horn at your desk? You
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: talk to truckers every day. That's a good point. You
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: should get at least a little mini one just to
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: say hello to them while they're delivering you. What do
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: they deliver to you? Rubber gloves? Catheter lines? Stuff like that?
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: Nitrile gloves. Band-Aids.
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Penicillin.
- 1:01:38Speaker 9: Diapers.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: Underpads.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: Rubbers.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Foley catheters. No rubber.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: Really?
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: No.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: You don't let that happen at your private nursing home?
- 1:01:49Speaker 5: No.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: Oh. So it happens in the down low.
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: You've got to stay away from stuff like that.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: No, you don't, though. You don't, though. You don't want
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: allergens in there. I guarantee that Bill the trucker down
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: in room 4D is checking out Lucy that's up front
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: when they're where they're doing dance night with the, yeah. Hello,
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: welcome to dance night at the nursing home in West
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: By God, Virginia. Get over here, Lucy. That's happening.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: They have dance night and they have pub night.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: I know, that's what I'm saying. I know that. You
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: never know.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: We got some married couples out there, but that's their
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: family's responsibility, not mine.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: Okay, all right. You don't have anything to do with it,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: I get you. No problem.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: Jesse, I have to tell you guys, my husband and
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: I have been listening to you guys for 25 years.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: I got the call in one time and talked to Keith.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: This has broken our hearts. We pray for him every day.

- 1:02:47Speaker 3: the fat. for real.

- 1:02:56Speaker 7: so he can do.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Chewing the Fat. There's some scheduling issues.
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: Just so you know, we support his Chewing the Fat here,
- 1:03:05Speaker 7: but he refuses to do it.

- 1:05:21Speaker 3: I would have got your shirt.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you would have got the re-gifting of the shirt. But,
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: you know, I appreciate you playing and calling and thinking

- 1:05:45Speaker 2: here at the screen. Yes, read that. Am I supposed
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: to do the Kexi cookie commercial?
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: Yes.

- 1:05:57Speaker 2: There you go. Hey, October at Kexi brings two new
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: things you'll want to know about. First, Ghoulberry is the
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: cookie of the month. It's a rich Dutch cocoa cookie
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: topped with a swirl of blackberry frosting. It's a little moody,
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: a little haunted, and dangerously easy to eat. It is good,
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: by the way. It's really good. It's really good. That
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: is actually true. It's dangerously easy to eat.
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: The second one, don't read that one.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Don't read that one? Don't read the second.
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: Oh.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Because those are sold out. It's the box. I'll tell
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: you what.
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: I should.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
- 1:06:32Speaker 9: It's the box.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: I should have given this box to Heather for a gift.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: We'll do it another.
- 1:06:36Speaker 7: We'll do another segment. We've still got 30 minutes.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: I'm not coming up with another What's the Lie. That's work.

- 1:06:54Speaker 2: And my bread. My chocolate bread is in there. And
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: they're so good. They're so good. Look at that. There's
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: no bread in there.
- 1:07:01Speaker 7: There's the chocolate bread in there.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: No, there is not. No, there is not. We can
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: point it at the camera right now. I'm telling you,

- 1:07:18Speaker 1: Pat Gray on the Blaze Radio Network.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: Alright, welcome to it. Pat Gray on Lease Program. Thank
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: you very much for coming along for the ride today.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Jeff Fisher here along with Chris Cruz. Pat is off
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: at his Tupperware convention. It's 888-900-3393 is the phone number.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: You can call that. It is Trucker Friday. We're talking
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: to truckers out there and we're talking to some people
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: that are, you know, like trucker adjacent.
- 1:07:54Speaker 7: Yeah, we kind of got it off track.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: So that's okay. That's fine.
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: That's whatever.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: We got it off track. Now, the... She didn't win it,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: so I still have it, my T-shirt. Yeah, but that's
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: not the T-shirt we're going to hand out. Like, the
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: one that you were going to re-gift was the one
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: that Anthony sent you. Anthony's upset that you're going to
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: re-gift your Cannon shirt. So I told him... She didn't win.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: She didn't win. So relax, Anthony. She didn't win. If
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: I do another Watch the Live, it's going to be
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: for the Kexy box.
- 1:08:19Speaker 7: Yeah, and then Anthony wants me to tell you to
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: please fix your headphones because... I know.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: I don't like them either. I got it.
- 1:08:26Speaker 7: No, fix it. You have your... It's the other way.
- 1:08:29Speaker 7: The cable's supposed to be... I should take off the headphones.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: No, it's not supposed to be over here.
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: Because right now you have your left ear on your
- 1:08:38Speaker 7: right ear and your right ear on your left ear.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: Because the plug is on my right ear.
- 1:08:42Speaker 7: It's really bothering Anthony, our fellow co-worker. Sorry, I want
- 1:08:49Speaker 7: to apologize to the audience. Please hold.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: As Jeffy's trying to actually... Your listenership is very important
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: to us. It's like a... his first day on radio
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: please hold it is not see it comes across.
- 1:09:03Speaker 7: Like this then do that do what Pat does put
- 1:09:06Speaker 7: it behind the computer like Pat does I'm so sorry.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: I hate these see I'm used to there you go.
- 1:09:18Speaker 7: I'm so sorry that you guys have to witness this,
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: but it's his first day on radio, and he doesn't
- 1:09:22Speaker 7: know how to use the headphones.
- 1:09:26Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: I think we're... Oh, we're back? I think we're okay now.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: All right, Joe, we're back. I don't like it. Hopefully
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: none of that was on the air. I don't like it.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: So Monique was mad at me for saying I was
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: going to re-gift her T-shirt. No, but we're not. We're not.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: We're not.
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: No, it was.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: We're not. So I know that she sent us the
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Malinak Miracle and Prayers... Unleashed t-shirts, which are cool. I
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: don't know if you can buy them. I don't know
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: if Monique is hawking them. I don't know, but thank you.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: Can you monetize out of a tragedy? I mean, some
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: would say yes to that. A lot of people say
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: yes to that. Sounds like a Jeffy scam. It's not
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: a scam. You're just selling T-shirts that people want to promote.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: We don't know if she's doing that. No, we don't.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: We do not know that we're doing that. I'm getting
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: behind on my reading of at Pat Unleashed and at
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Jeffy JFR posts online as well. And I've got a
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: full bank of calls of truckers. They're driving down the highway.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: So hold on. I'll be with you. I promise. We're
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: coming up on the bottom here.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: So.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: And there's all kinds of great stories. I talked about
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: the raddiest cities in America. Trump's schedule. We got to
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: do Trump's schedule. We have to do Trump's schedule because
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: it goes along with a couple of ex-posts that we
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: got in. But the raddiest city, number one. Number one
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: in America. Los Angeles, California is the raddiest city in America.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: The rankings are based on new residential road treatment data
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: collected between August 9th and 2025. There is the map
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: of the top 10 raddiest cities in America. Chicago, New York,
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Cleveland. Denver, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Minneapolis,
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: for those of you that don't know how to read
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: a map where the dots are. Dallas, Texas, home of
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: Blaze and this program. Number 12. Number 12?
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Number 12.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: So we didn't make the top 10. So I don't
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: even worry about it. We're fine. We're fine.
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: I remember my first time I moved to my house,
- 1:11:31Speaker 7: there were rats everywhere.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: See? That's an issue. I do not. I'm going to
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: tell you this. I am not a fan of rats
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: at all. You can't quote me on that.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: This is Pat Gray, Unleashed.
- 1:12:00Speaker 13: This song goes out to Hammer, local Hammer.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Pat, Tucker, Trucker Friday, really?
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: 11 days before an election?
- 1:12:24Speaker 7: Have Jeffy take care of truckers on his weekend show.
- 1:12:28Speaker 7: Get rid of him. Jeffy is a effing disaster.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: What?
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: I'm not even going to mention how he has no talent.
- 1:12:36Speaker 7: He's incapable of hosting Pat Gray on Leash. I can't
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: believe you entrusted your show with his reputation of incompetent boob.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: That hurts a lot. What do you have to say
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: about that? It hurts. It hurts a lot.
- 1:12:54Speaker 7: I think that's what he meant. And he said it
- 1:12:56Speaker 7: with all caps in some of them.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: So this was on X? This is on X. I'm sorry.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: You're right. What can I do? Sorry. I'm terrible. I know.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: You're not telling me anything I don't already know that
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: I have to live with every day. I appreciate you
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: bringing it back up to me, though. Allie in Illinois.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: Allie in Illinois. A woman, a truck driver who wants
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: to talk. Go ahead, Allie. I've got to take a moment.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 1:13:38Speaker 16: Hey, Jeffy. Jeffy, I'm sorry. You guys are the best,
- 1:13:42Speaker 16: and you're the best. Thanks for having truck drivers calling
- 1:13:44Speaker 16: in today.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: We haul everything.
- 1:13:47Speaker 16: You guys get off the store shelves. Yeah.
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: I know.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: You're the lifeblood of America. I truly believe that. That's
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: no question. And that's why I want to know how
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: you guys are doing because there's a lot of autonomous
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: truckers out there. Yeah.
- 1:14:05Speaker 16: Those are great for certain areas, but the wintertime and
- 1:14:13Speaker 16: the northwest, they're going to have a lot of work
- 1:14:17Speaker 16: to do.
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem, no doubt. So what are you
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: hauling today? Are you out there hauling today?
- 1:14:22Speaker 16: I am hauling Italian noodles to a Walmart distribution center.
- 1:14:28Speaker 16: So anybody that has noodles that they're putting on their plate.
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: I want to put my noodles somewhere. Easy.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: Easy.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: That's awesome. So I appreciate it very much. And thanks
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: for listening. Now, I mean, does your noodle hauling truck
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: have a horn?
- 1:14:49Speaker 16: Um, we, we haul, um, all kinds of commodities. Um, but, uh,
- 1:14:54Speaker 16: I'm winding down the week and, uh, taking noodles.
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: So you just haul for one specific company. They, they
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: just say, Hey, go here, pick this up and take
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: it here. Yes.
- 1:15:06Speaker 16: Um, I'm an owner operator.
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:15:08Speaker 16: So, uh, the dispatcher I have, he's great. He, he
- 1:15:12Speaker 16: has great loads for me. So.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: Okay. So you, but you're still a subcontractor though. You
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: don't work for a specific company.
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: Did you say he has great love for you?
- 1:15:24Speaker 16: Great load.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Oh, loads. Stop.
- 1:15:27Speaker 16: And then we need to have a reload to get somewhere.
- 1:15:32Speaker 16: You know, that's how we make our money.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: Right. I got it. So, again, I asked, though, for,
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: you know, this is the second time. Does your noodle
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: truck load have a horn?
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: Oh, heck yeah.
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Well, I'd like to. Is it worth hearing?
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: Can you walk it?
- 1:15:51Speaker 16: I don't know if you can hear it if I do. Okay.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Well, give it a shot.
- 1:15:57Speaker 16: Did you hear it at all?
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: No. Do you have a little pansy one? What's going on?
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: Why can't we hear it?
- 1:16:03Speaker 16: I have a trucker headset, and it helps keep all
- 1:16:08Speaker 16: the noise except for my voice.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: Yeah, because you sound like you're at the home.
- 1:16:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you sound like you're home. You don't sound like
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: you're driving.
- 1:16:16Speaker 16: Yeah, no, I have a really good headset.
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: Okay, awesome. Well, I appreciate it. We'll take the headset off. No, Fisher, no, no, no. No,
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: don't do that?
- 1:16:23Speaker 16: No.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: All right, fine. Thank you, Allie. Thank you, Allie. I
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: appreciate it. Thank you for calling on Trucker Friday. I
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: appreciate it.
- 1:16:32Speaker 16: I'm the third one in my family, so we've done
- 1:16:35Speaker 16: our blood. But thank you guys so much. I listen
- 1:16:37Speaker 16: to you every morning, the highlight.
- 1:16:39Speaker 14: Of my morning.
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I appreciate it, Allie. Be safe
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: out there. No kidding. Johnny in New York. How in
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: the world are you?
- 1:16:47Speaker 7: They're truckers in New York?
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it says.
- 1:16:50Speaker 5: We're here.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing?
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: I'm good.
- 1:16:54Speaker 8: How are you?
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: I couldn't be better, except, you know.
- 1:16:58Speaker 11: I find you very entertaining.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: Oh, thank you very much.
- 1:17:01Speaker 11: Don't worry about it, guys.
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: I like to see you every morning.
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: Are you?
- 1:17:05Speaker 11: Every time you guys are done, it's just Jim. But
- 1:17:08Speaker 11: every morning, Pat Gray, at least.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Are you driving right now?
- 1:17:13Speaker 11: Yes, I am.
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: Because it sounds to me, and I don't know this
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: to be true, it sounds to me that you could
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: possibly be under the influence of something. No, that's a headset.
- 1:17:26Speaker 13: Oh.
- 1:17:26Speaker 6: That is true.
- 1:17:28Speaker 11: I sound that way. I have a disease that affects
- 1:17:30Speaker 11: my vocal cords and everything else. So it sounds a
- 1:17:33Speaker 11: little slurred, but I'm very clear.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. So I got to ask, because
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: Jeffy won't, do you have the RFK Jr.
- 1:17:41Speaker 9: Thing?
- 1:17:42Speaker 7: With Susan Collins?
- 1:17:43Speaker 11: No, no, I don't have that.
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 1:17:45Speaker 11: I think I might as well just speak.
- 1:17:47Speaker 7: Okay, because, you know, us disables can talk to each
- 1:17:49Speaker 7: other and ask those questions.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Jeff, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: I'm fine, thank you.
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: I'm fine, thank you. What are you hauling today? John,
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: what are you hauling?
- 1:18:00Speaker 11: Well, I'm hauling a inner bush.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Nice. You know, I used to love bush beer for
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: a long time. A cold glass, right? Oh, man. And
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: we used to get good deals on 24 packs of
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: bush beer. I was a bush beer drinker then, man. Nice.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: Those were awesome. Nothing refreshes like a cool bush beer. Yeah.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: But you're holding for just anhyzer bush, so it could
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: be Budweiser or it could be a soft drink.
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:18:30Speaker 11: I work for the Bollinger Brewery in Syracuse.
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:18:33Speaker 11: And it's very flexible, so we make everything at that brewery.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: So you just work for them? You just haul stuff
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: for them?
- 1:18:39Speaker 11: Yep, that's pretty much what I do. That's awesome, Every
- 1:18:43Speaker 11: once in a while, I take something else.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:18:46Speaker 11: I've done everything for me. I used to get boxed bags,
- 1:18:49Speaker 11: but 90% of it's beer.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: You cross state lines or you just stay in New York? Oh, yeah.
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: Oh, good.
- 1:18:57Speaker 11: I'm a day sleeper guy. I'm back every day. But
- 1:19:01Speaker 11: I go as far as Vermont, Mass, New Jersey, PA,
- 1:19:05Speaker 11: everything in Connecticut. I go to all of Vermont.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: That's a beautiful country up there, though. I mean, I
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: know the roads sometimes, there's some dangerous roads up there,
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: but that's a beautiful country.
- 1:19:18Speaker 11: Yeah, the leaves are really, really pretty.
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: I love that. Southern Vermont with Bennington, man, that's one
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: of my favorite places on the planet. John, thank you
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: very much. Do you have a horn on that thing
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: that they let you do from the brewery, or no?
- 1:19:32Speaker 11: I got two of them. I got a C horn
- 1:19:34Speaker 11: and a highway horn.
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear them both.
- 1:19:40Speaker 11: That's a seahorn.

- 1:20:21Speaker 2: Pet Ground. Least 888-900-3393. One post we got on X
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: from Irwin. Irwin M. Fletcher, by the way. I have
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: a feeling that some of the oil companies are holding
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: prices as high as they are to try to sabotage
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: the midterms. And listen, we heard that earlier, too, from
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: one of our truckers online. And that wouldn't be surprising
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: to me. I mean, we say so many times and
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: we have said so many times in the last 15 years,
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: 10 years. That's amazing. That's incredible. That's unbelievable. It really
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: isn't because they're doing it right in front of our
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: face every single stinking day. Rob in Texas. Rob in Texas.
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: How are you, sir? It's great, Jeff.
- 1:21:10Speaker 11: How are you doing?
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Hey, Rob. Rob is gone. We missed Rob. I hope
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: he's okay out there on the road. Good luck. God
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: bless to you, Rob. No problem. Donna is back. Donna
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: in Massachusetts is back. Hello, Donna.
- 1:21:27Speaker 8: How are you?
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: I'm fine. How are you?

- 1:21:43Speaker 13: me how to drive a tractor trailer truck.
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:21:46Speaker 13: And my son, They called him Nipper. He used to
- 1:21:51Speaker 13: drive a Budweiser truck.
- 1:21:52Speaker 9: He had to pay for his diesel.
- 1:21:53Speaker 13: He had to pay for his diesel.
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: Is this your story or is this his story? What
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: is happening here?
- 1:22:01Speaker 13: What now?
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: Is it your story or is it his story?
- 1:22:06Speaker 13: No, my friend's story.
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:22:09Speaker 9: Hey, I brought her here, Jeffy.
- 1:22:10Speaker 13: Yeah, and I just wanted to tell you that I
- 1:22:17Speaker 13: used to be a rainbow party And I want Republican
- 1:22:20Speaker 13: last year.
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:22:22Speaker 9: Whatever.

- 1:22:40Speaker 2: let them talk down to you like that, Donna. Don't
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: do it. Don't do it. Noah in Pennsylvania. How are you?
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: Welcome to Trucker Friday.
- 1:22:49Speaker 15: I'm doing fantastic. It's a beautiful, crisp morning here in
- 1:22:52Speaker 15: central PA.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: Yeah, baby. What a voice. I love that. Are you driving?
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: Are you just out running? Are you just looking at
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: the countryside? What are you doing?
- 1:23:01Speaker 15: I'm driving up through the mountains with a load of
- 1:23:03Speaker 15: stone veneer for... A couple of new houses and State College.
- 1:23:07Speaker 5: Nice.
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: I love that. Building America. I went through a neighborhood
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: yesterday that had some monstrous houses, and there are new
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: houses being built. Man, I'm sure there's– I mean, somebody's
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: got some money. It isn't my– not my houses, I'll
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: tell you that. But somebody's got some money, no question.
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: So do you haul that veneer every day to places
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: near and far, or is that just your load for
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: the day?
- 1:23:31Speaker 15: It's just for today. Some days it's lumber and trusses
- 1:23:34Speaker 15: and doors and windows, but it's always something to do
- 1:23:36Speaker 15: with building supplies.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: Oh, so you're hauling some of the new stuff for
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: data centers that I see on the road that they
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: have covered up, trying to pretend like it's not going
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: to data centers?
- 1:23:49Speaker 15: I haven't been to any data centers yet, but usually
- 1:23:53Speaker 15: it's houses and garages and Barnes.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: You haul the big Transformers and stuff that they bring
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: in for the power companies and the data centers. You
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: haul that stuff?
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: No.
- 1:24:06Speaker 15: Transformers are a little bit above my pay grade.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: He says Stones. That's why he does Stones. Listen to Noah.
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 1:24:17Speaker 7: Are we able to listen to the horn with your headset?
- 1:24:20Speaker 7: You sound like you have a really cool headset.
- 1:24:25Speaker 15: Yeah, we're going to try it here. I don't know
- 1:24:26Speaker 15: how good my headset is.
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: Okay. Okay, well, it sounds not bad. It's not bad.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: It could be louder, but that's just the headsets. That's headsets. Yeah,
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: it's disappointing.
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: Anybody jumper and you got a car next to you
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: that drove off the road or anything?
- 1:24:40Speaker 15: I got a whole line of cars behind me that
- 1:24:42Speaker 15: are probably really ticked off.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome. How fast are you going? Slow down.
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Slow down. Be safe.
- 1:24:49Speaker 14: 40?
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: Yeah, slow down. Be safe.
- 1:24:51Speaker 7: Yeah, I need you to go at least 35. If
- 1:24:53Speaker 7: you're in the country going up the mountains, 35 is safe.
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: You got a heavy load of an ear.
- 1:24:57Speaker 11: You got a heavy load.
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: Yeah. All right.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: Well, thank you. No, I appreciate it. So you, uh,
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: if you're hauling different stuff, uh, do you, okay. He's gone.
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: We lost Noah already. I had a question for him.
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to him about filling up his
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: gas tank and stuff.
- 1:25:14Speaker 9: That's all.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: I got Trump's schedule. Maybe. Do you want to do
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: Trump's schedule?
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: Let's talk about that because this weekend, I mean, we
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: heard from, uh, our man Mike in Michigan, Indiana.
- 1:25:24Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: And, uh, he told us that, uh, Part of the
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: reason that he changed his mind from the first time
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: is that they're starting to take it seriously, which is
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: absolutely true. That man is working harder than I want
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: to work, I'll tell you that.
- 1:25:39Speaker 7: As president?
- 1:25:40Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: Absolutely, man. He's doing so much more than he really
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: legitimately has to do. I mean, but he does have
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: to do it because he's Donald Trump and he's, that's
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: our man. But I mean, this weekend, he hasn't stopped.
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: Nope.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: I mean, every night this week, every night he's been
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: in a different place. And so it's going to be
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: crazy this weekend, I bet.
- 1:25:57Speaker 7: So he's going to, we got the executive time at
- 1:26:00Speaker 7: 8 a.m. today.
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:26:01Speaker 7: And he's going to leave to Fort Myers, Florida. Then
- 1:26:05Speaker 7: he's going to go to.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: The— I was just doing radio down there in Fort Myers.
- 1:26:09Speaker 11: Just the other day.
- 1:26:10Speaker 7: Then he's going to do Fort.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: Myers, some remarks. I did Fox 95.5 the other night.
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: I did Trey's Afternoon Drive show down there.
- 1:26:17Speaker 7: He's going to go to the Alico Arena. Then he's
- 1:26:19Speaker 7: going to go to Palm Beach, so White House, Florida version.
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: Then here is Saturday. Wake-up call, 8 a.m.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: And by the way, I just want to be clear,
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: I did an afternoon drive show filling for Trey Radel
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: down there at Fort Myers. Tell whoever the letter was that,
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: you know, I suck. I'm doing work around the country
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: just for the hell of it.
- 1:26:42Speaker 11: Oh, Hammer?
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: Yeah, just for the hell of it. But Hammer's listening.
- 1:26:45Speaker 7: Even though he's complaining that you were sitting on the
- 1:26:47Speaker 7: big man's chair, he's still listening.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: Well, I'm sitting in this chair today.
- 1:26:50Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: When we come back from vacation... Okay. I'm sitting in
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: another chair.
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: Oh, you're going to... Yeah, your chair, your normal chair.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Oh, you're moving in.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: I'm moving in.
- 1:27:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:27:00Speaker 7: Joe, can you show that corner for a second? I'm
- 1:27:02Speaker 7: moving in. It's going to... Because I'm noticing... Can you
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: zoom out just a little bit, Joe? Just zoom out
- 1:27:07Speaker 7: a little bit. So it looks like you've already... Cleaned
- 1:27:12Speaker 7: out the desk.
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: When you move into a house, you got to.
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: It feels like you fully cleaned out that desk and
- 1:27:18Speaker 7: you put a flower on his.
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: I did, just to remember until I move in.
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:27:23Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: That's all.
- 1:27:26Speaker 7: Then President Trump, after his executive time on Saturday, he's
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: going to go to.
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: Georgia.
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:27:32Speaker 7: Harry, Georgia.
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: Down in Florida, back up to Georgia. He's not going
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: back to D.C.? He will be going back to D.C.
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: Or is he going over to Mar-a-Lago? No, he's going
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: to D.C. after Georgia.
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:27:42Speaker 7: Then Sunday, call time, 11. But his call time is
- 1:27:46Speaker 7: 8 a.m.
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Okay. Then they're going to go to Michigan. Okay. Then
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: from Michigan— Where is he going to Michigan? He's going
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: to go Port Huron. Port Huron? Yes.
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:27:57Speaker 7: And then after that, he's going to go to.
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: Right here, by the way.
- 1:28:01Speaker 11: Oh, okay.
- 1:28:02Speaker 7: Then he's going to go back to the White House.
- 1:28:06Speaker 7: And my understanding is that he's also maybe going to Iowa.
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:28:12Speaker 7: On Sunday.
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:28:13Speaker 7: And he's coming back to Texas. He's going to Lubbock.
- 1:28:17Speaker 7: And he's going to somewhere else. He's going to two places.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: Trying to get the governor and the senator elected. And
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: we need to do that.
- 1:28:24Speaker 7: Right now it's 49-49 for the Senate seat.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: 49-49. Okay, yeah, for Paxton and Talrico.
- 1:28:31Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: And it's turning around. Look, Talrico, we're finding out more
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: and more stuff of what a nightmare he is. And
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: I know Ken Paxton apparently has his issues, but really
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: the man has been a great attorney general for the
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: state of Texas. And I really do. I mean, I
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: believe that he will fight for Texas and the rest
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: of the country as an American believing in the Constitution
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: of as a senator from the great state of Texas.
- 1:29:01Speaker 7: Are you saying that James Tallarico is not an American?
- 1:29:03Speaker 7: Because I know he's not a Christian.
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: He is an American, maybe, that I'm aware of he's
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: an American, but I don't necessarily believe that he is
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: a Christian, and I don't necessarily believe that he believes
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: in the Constitution of the United States of America. That's all, though.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: That's it. But we have a poll watch. Okay. Oh, yeah. Hey,

- 1:30:33Speaker 2: Thank you, Joe.
- 1:30:33Speaker 7: The market, James is down two points. So the market
- 1:30:37Speaker 7: says 66 and Paxson 34. What's the poll that he's
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: up to?
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: Where is it? What is that from? That is from Texas.
- 1:30:47Speaker 7: Vera site. It's from vote hub.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: Vote hub.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:30:51Speaker 7: Vote hub shows them plus 2.4, which brings his average
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: to 2.5. Plus 2.1.
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: Still in the margin.
- 1:30:58Speaker 7: It's still in the margin. And remember, our blaze margin
- 1:31:01Speaker 7: is 5.
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: Plus 5.
- 1:31:03Speaker 7: And the Texas governor race, we have a plus 3 for— yes,
- 1:31:08Speaker 7: plus 3 for Abbott overall. But this latest poll has
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: him plus 1 for Abbott.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: Come on. Gina is— She is horrible. We can't have— I
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: won't allow her being governor. But we already said that.
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: I won't allow her to be governor. I'm not going
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: to allow her to be governor. I'm not going to
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: allow Talrico to be a senator, and I'm not going
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: to allow Abdul Mohammed Zayed to be a senator out
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: of the great state of Michigan.
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: But we do have a new poll out of Maine,
- 1:31:32Speaker 7: thanks to Poll Watch. The average still plus 1.5 to
- 1:31:37Speaker 7: Troy Jackson.
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: I saw him up with AOC. What a nightmare. But
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: here's the cool thing.
- 1:31:44Speaker 7: Right now, the Fox News poll, they use Beacon Research
- 1:31:48Speaker 7: and Shaw & Company Research, has them both at a 49-49,
- 1:31:51Speaker 7: just like in Texas.
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: Okay. So we're moving. We are moving. We're moving.
- 1:31:58Speaker 7: And I know the Trump administration just sued Alaska. You'll
- 1:32:02Speaker 7: appreciate this. Did you see why they're suing Alaska?
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: No, not this time. Because they are- Oh, the guy.
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: The guy. The guy with the name. The guy Sullivan.
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan.
- 1:32:11Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: They're suing for that. Good. That should not have been allowed.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: That judge should not have allowed that.
- 1:32:17Speaker 5: No.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: The Dan T. Sullivan is the guy that they just
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: brought on board to confuse everybody because it's the Dan S.
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: Sullivan that's the good guy, right?
- 1:32:25Speaker 7: So now we have three Dans because I have a
- 1:32:26Speaker 7: Dan J. Sullivan who we're not supposed to vote for.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: The J. Sullivan.
- 1:32:30Speaker 7: Yeah, J.
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: Sullivan.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: Okay, not T. I'm sorry. There's no T. Yeah, there's
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: no T. Don't add another one in there. It's a
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: good guy.
- 1:32:34Speaker 5: Sorry.
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: Alaska's already confused. Sorry, I know. We can't add a

- 1:34:41Speaker 2: Did you see where the Brewers had sold a thousand
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: timeless tickets where the people could use them for any
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: game for the best seat in the house?
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: Not the World Series, though, no. We want to do that,
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: but no. We'll put you in the standing room only.
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: We'll give you a seat out in the outfield, but no,
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: you're not going to be the best. That's garbage. Now,
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: they said also now that they're going to make it
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: up to them and they could use them again for
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: another game.
- 1:35:13Speaker 7: Still, I'll pay you a thousand bucks.
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: For a timeless ticket. And then you screw me. I'm

- 1:35:40Speaker 2: Oh, for another game? Sure. Another game? Yeah, another game. Yeah.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: You're going to use them here? Outfield. Sorry. I know.
