Hey everybody, AJ Benzi here with Fame is a bitch. This is your free show for the free

birds coming to you at October 17th, 2023. I'm taping this on the 16th. Normally you get

sure free shows on Mondays and Wednesdays, but yesterday was kind of a jam-packed day for me.

And I figured you birds will come back on Tuesday looking for free shows, you know. There's

always some worms around or grubs you guys can pick at. I'll always feed you twice a week.

I mean, it'll always be Monday and Wednesday, but just know they'll be some insects and some birdseed

nearby. So whether it's the 16th or the 17th, this is your free show. Fame is a bitch. Back

out here. Maybe I'm getting it wrong, but I'm trying to remember it when I read it. And basically,

there were always other gas stations that looked fine. But this one nice gas station always looked

terrible, right? And he took it to high. And I think eventually he ended up owning a chain and he

said, fuck it. I'm going to call my gas station chain Terribles because that's what people think I

am. Now they populate the state and it's quite something to see. But I got a kick out of, you know,

when you go to some government buildings or courthouses, let's say you'll see these big pillows

of cement or big, you know, columns of steel surrounded by concrete. And basically they're there

so that somebody can't drive a truck with a bomb into a building. But this particular Terribles,

I saw in the lovely town of Somerlin, which probably has the lowest crime rate in the country,

had these big red concrete balls in front of the store. Like, I know, you know,
