You're listening to chewing the fat on demand.

Welcome to chewing the fat Saturday edition. Chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

I try to you know just give you a little something on the weekends just to enjoy and

sit back and have a little bit of fun and a couple days ago we had

Optimus Prime well the semi replica of Optimus Prime come to the studios and I had an opportunity to talk to Joe Faducia

who put it together and has been traveling the country

and talk a little bit about his story and his American dream.

He's living his American dream, right?

He's doing what he wants to. That's what's special. You know, I talk about the American dream.

Everyone thinks that, you know, Elon Musk is the American dream. He's his own American dream, but a hard-working guy that does a replica of Optimus Prime and travels around the country for charities and trying to help other people and just happy to bring a

smile to people's faces and trying to pay the bills and enjoy his family and love

his family that's his own American dream and that's what makes America great and that's one of the reasons that you would hope

The non-caravan is coming to America for. They're not. Oh did I just get political?

Gosh darn it it's Saturday. I'm sorry. Just know that off the off the air we talked

a lot about you know I have a soft spot of my heart for truckers and we talked a little bit

about what he had to go through because he wanted to build this and we didn't get to it on the

air but he talked about how he had to take you know his his truck he had to get the class A license to be able to drive the semi and

he said that he had private lessons and got it and it brought him a new respect for truckers on the road

with how hard it was for him to get that.

And I just thought that was fascinating because I love truckers and it's so it's such a under-appreciated gig that it's just I love

I can't help it. So I had an opportunity to talk to Joe while he was here showing off

his his Optimus Prime and I hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend and we'll see you
