So tell me in the chat, because it's your show as much as it's my show. It may be named after me, but it's really for you. I mean, or else I'd be talking in a closet to myself, and would we got 11,000 beginning of the show? A whole lot of people here. You want the good news or the bad news first? You let me know, you think about that. Guy, Justin, give me a rough idea of where we go. Right at the beginning of the show, because I want to describe to you as we title today's show, what is really happening here, and what is that about? Because what do we hate? Unnecessary teases. We'll tell you in 20 minutes. Stay tuned. We're not doing that.
It's about what's going to happen in just about 40 days, because folks, I'm going to show you some good news and some bad news. But there's a way to win elections regardless of what I'm going to tell you and what is it. It's to show up and vote.
Right? I mean, well, of course, there are some do-mers out there who for some reason want you to believe otherwise that the control is lost. Well, I don't want to get into the bit. Control is lost. I'll get to that in a second.
Second, some people have asked me, I had some tweets out yesterday. I'm not trying to be cryptic. Why don't you name certain names on people? Because we're 40 days from an election, folks, and I want to paint for a picture for you about what's going on without creating a bunch of waste of time, podcast to stand fights that candidly, sometimes I have to address them and don't have a choice, especially when they involve danger to me and my family. It's a waste of time right now. That's why you have to earn the right for me to mention your name. And some of these people are not worth the drama before an election. But I do have to warn you about what's going on. So that came up yesterday too. We got a country to save though. So right in the beginning of the show, I got a clip from the greatest of all time. I saw it on Vince Colen Aces' tweet yesterday, Twitter feed, if you want to cheat a little bit. From Rush Limbaugh. That should remind you of this.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got a country to save.
There's no time for BS right now. There just isn't. Let the podcast to stand people do what they want. Let's focus on getting out and voting. I got a lot of show for you today on Friday. Stay tuned. Coach Bruce Pearl, one of the favorites coming up at the end. We're going to talk about NIL, college sports, the SEC, Love in America, all kinds of great stuff. So don't miss that. Hey, these weight loss injections, they're everywhere. You read about them all the time. But here's the catch. You know, that's about 15 percent of users quit because of the cost. Another 15 percent stopped because of side effects. A while back, I had to drop some pounds. You know, I've told you the story. I just come through a health care crisis. I was not eating great. I weighed 238 pounds. I strongly encourage you to go look at the old Rumble videos from back then. You're going to see my face was a little rounder, right? Maybe a lot rounder.
You pull. Can you pull one? Yes, it proved my point. I was eating really bad. I went through cancer and, you know, I just was like, I'm going to tell you, I just was like whatever people do in front of me, I gain weight. I called Miles from Brickhouse. True story. I said, hey, man, you guys got like some weight loss. He said, hey, we're working on this product called Lean. I took it. I'm not messing with you. I dropped well over 38 pounds. It was 195 this morning. I still use it. L-E-A-N, the product is great. Paula uses it too. We love the product. I encourage you to check it out. It's from Brickhouse Nutrition. Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things. Wow, look at that picture. You see that? My face is a whole lot bigger back there. The good job guys. Lean helped me tackle my hunger, help support steady energy without constant cravings. And Lean did something, injections don't. It helped turn my body fat into energy. So I burned fat instead of storing it. My favorite part, Lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection. It works. People call me all the time and ask, of course. What would I tell you otherwise? No prescriptions, no needles. I lost weight with Lean. I believe you can too. My joints feel better too. I guess I'm down to about 194 now.
