You know, a lot of people think if they've done well financially, retirement should be simple. But the reality is today is more complex than ever.

I just got a text message from somebody that said I've lived in Cape Coral for 45 years and I've never seen the parkway the way it is right now. And on that note, let's get a traffic update on what's going on in Cape Coral right now, Rob. All right. If you're in Cape Coral this morning and you're trying to get off the peninsula, you are indeed in line for a rough commute. While all the bridges seem to start picking up, that doesn't happen until you actually clear the threshold. Cape Coral Parkway eastbound, backed up all the way to Chiquita Boulevard, El Prado, southbound from Veterans Memorial, also backed up. quite a ways. Midpoint bridge seems to be moving okay, but getting there could be a challenge. And then, of course, that bridge southbound to 41 into Fort Myers, the Colusa Hatchie Bridge. Also showing substantial slowdowns and delays with backup stretching all the way up to Pine Island Road. So if you're in Cape Coral this morning, allow a lot of extra time and patience for your commute. Also, vehicle fire reported on 82 westbound, just south of Lehigh there. So there might be some traffic issues in that area as well. But if you have to cross the bridges, plan your route accordingly and be patient because every way out of Cape Coral is pretty rough right now. Man, all the way back to Chiquita. That is so far. That is so, so far. That's almost the entire length of the parkway. I know it's stressing a lot of you guys out. Just be diligent. And if you have to give it up and... and call it a mental health day. Give it up. Go on back home and call it a mental health day. Just make sure you listen to 92-5 Fox News all day long. Did you make your way to go see the Melania movie yet? Have you made your way to go see her brand new movie? I hope to this weekend. This is the weekend I'll have free able to get over there and actually see the movie. I do. I want to see it. And if some of you are waiting to see it on streaming,
I will tell you it's going to be on Amazon Prime. I don't know if it'll be free or if it'll be included in your membership or if you have to pay a little extra. But I do know that it will be the end of February, early March, that it will be available for streaming. So if you want to see it, you have to do what the older white women are doing, according to one story. 75% are women. 70% and 55 and over are 55 and over. And this is based on the studies done out of Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta, and West Palm Beach. We're among the top markets over the weekend. So the Malani movie hits. And if you saw the movie, please call and talk to me right now. I want your honest review of the movie. Now, it's made seven, almost eight million now. I think it's well over eight million now, but it made $7 million in its opening weekend and was the highest grossing documentary and outpermed any other documentary in years. And it's great. And some are even calling for her to win an Oscar. But here's what I want to know. Is there anybody out there that took the time? We've sent, we sent 10 people right from daybreak to go see the movie. If you won tickets to go see Melania, basically during this time of the show, did you have a chance to actually go and see it yet? And if you did, I need a review. I want to know what you, the listener... thinks of the movie. What was your take on the documentary covering Melania as she gets ready to come back into the White House with President Trump? It's a, you know what, it's an inside look that you don't get a lot of look at it. I think that's what would make it is going to make it interesting for me to go see. And I look forward to actually seeing it because I think I love inside stuff like that. My wife always says if it's a political movie or a war movie, we're in, right? If it's a political movie or a war movie, I'm in 100%. She's not always 100%. It's my angle. I love all political movies. You give me a movie about politics, I'll watch it every time. If it's a movie about the president, I'm into it. It doesn't even have to be like, you know, like a independent stay, right? Not really a actual theoretically possible, you know, real story, if you will, yet. But nonetheless, I still loved it. You know, it was about America, keeping it free with a great speech, by the way. The speech writer, whoever wrote that speech in that script, great job. Should probably go work for some other people. But did you see the Melania movie? Did you make your way over to see it? Documentaries rarely receive wide theatrical releases, but this one did with over 1,500 screens. And the top...
grossing film that topped more than them, Send Help, which brought $20 million, and Iron Lung, also a horror film, nearly 18 million. But that's how they did. Did you actually see it, though? I'm dying to get a review. If you did see it, call us up, tell us all about it, and tell us what you think. Were you a big fan of it? Did you think it was a great movie? 239-479-5592 is the number. Call me up. Let's get it all. Give me an update, your thoughts on the actual movie and where you think it should go. You know, I sit here today really kind of reading a story and thinking, hmm, I don't know if I could ever do that. And it's just a story I'm going to talk about here in just a little bit. I just don't know if I could ever do that. It's one of those things you just never know. 92-5 Fox News, hello. Movie yesterday. What did you say? You saw the Malani movie yesterday? I did. I thought it was great. My aunt and I went and thought it was great. Great back behind the scenes kind of stuff that goes on that you don't realize. I think she's very grounded, loves her family. Favorite part of the movie. Favorite part of the movie. Oh, just seeing all that goes on to, you know, keep her and schedule and what all she has to go through and all the plans and all the decisions and everything. It's just interesting. All right. A lot about what she's done as a president's wife and stuff and things that we've never heard about. So I think it was great. Give me a one to five stars. Five. Wow. Right on. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Great. That's great. Now I want to go see it. Thank you so much. There you get. 92.5 Fox News. Hello. Who's this? Hi, good morning. This is Susie from Cape Carl. Hi, Susie. How are you doing today? I've been sitting on Cape Carl Parkway for the last hour and 15 minutes. Oh, hour and 15 minutes on the parkway? And I picked it up at Santa Barbara. We're not moving. Are you staying? Are you going to write it out or are you going to get out of there and just go home and call it today? Oh, I can't go home and call it a day. I have a senior lady waiting on me. All right. You go handle your business. Now, did you get the chance to see the Melania movie? Yes. We saw it yesterday, and it was very, very good. All right. All right. It was such an eye opener. Like, they always say Trump Towers, over the top and all that. It looked like a palace. Tell me your favorite part of the whole movie. When she turns around in the suit. And she's walking out for the inauguration, and she turns around and says, here we go again. Right, here we go again. Let's do it one more time. You know what I really love about Melania is you're seeing more of her. She's way more active than the first term. She's getting out there. And I feel like she's accepted it. I feel like the first time she was like, Donald, this is a bad idea. I don't want to do this. And now she's all like, oh, I know who I married. I know what we're doing. I know how we're doing it. And she and Britain, I think.
He really is in love with her. You could just see the interaction. Right. And she's just brilliant. Love is so powerful. Can't hide it. If it's real, it's real, you see it. You're absolutely right. I appreciate you calling in. Thanks for being on the show. All right. I'll watch you later on. Hey, do me a favor. Do me a favor. Why? Tell me, Texas, when you actually start moving again. All right? Yeah, right. I'll be home by then. All right, thanks for calling in. Probably. I love it. Dean from Fort Myers, you saw the movie. Talk to me. Good morning, yes. I have seen so many memes all over social media that say all the theaters are empty or they only sold two or three tickets. I went to the Friday opening and the theater was full, absolutely full. And I enjoyed the movie so much. It confirmed what I thought all along that Melania is the most classy and elegant first lady since Jackie Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Right. So it's very classy. She's a classy chick. Like she truly is a woman of respect, a woman who demands respect, and a woman who has a mission to do great things for the kids of America. Her philanthropy is unbelievable, and she's not only working in America. She's working, they show this in the film. She's working around the world with the First Lady Emmanuel Macron in France and a female prime minister and so forth. She's working with all of them to do children's philanthropy. What's your favorite part of the movie? Oh, maybe when she was doing the YMCA walking down the stairs. I love it. I love it, right? If you're doing it, you're loving it. There you go. I appreciate you. Thanks for calling it and give me your update. One to five stars. What are you giving it? Uh, four. All right, four stars. Here we go. Uh, I like that. That seemed to real and honest. Everybody else is just like big fans. Kitty, good morning from Cave Coral's Melania movie. You see it. Tell me about it. Hey, Jason. How you doing today? Debbie. Oh, Debbie, go ahead. Good. I... We went to see it on Friday. I went with a bunch of our church ladies. The audience was about 75% full. And let me tell you, Drew, it was so refreshing to see a first lady that had clasped. This woman loves America. And you could just tell it when she talked about what she's doing, when she talked about our country. It just was a far cry from Michelle Obama getting on Air Force One in a pair of shorts. And then you see Melania come out. It was wonderful. Man, I love your review of it. I love it a lot. My name is Jason, by the way, and I won't call you kidding anymore. I appreciate you. And thank you so much for calling it. Hey, listen, but let me tell you, the best part, whenever there was a cameo of Donald Trump, the whole audience started cheering. And whenever there was a cameo of, like, Biden or Obama, the whole audience booed. It was awesome. Oh, now I got to go on Friday night. I got to go in the evening. I got to go see this when everybody else. I don't want to go in the midday when it's just like me and it's a couple of few. I want to go when it's slammed. I love that. That's a great story. What time did you go and see it? What time were you there? Actually, we were there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, so go figure that it was 75% full. All right, that's great. I love it. Thank you so much for calling in, Debbie. I really do appreciate it. All right, I got one more call. I don't want to leave him hanging. I got one more review. Judy from Naples. Go ahead, Judy. Give me your review. Make it quick. We got about 35 seconds.
Hey, I love it when she's in a limo singing some Michael Jackson, okay? She is on it. I love it. What's your, uh, give me on a scale from one to ten, or one to five, five stars. What, how many stars are you going to give it? Five and she is a rocker. She opens up with some rolling stones, okay? Uh, ha, ha, there he is. Now, did the theater cheer and boo like the other callers cheer, uh, theater? No, no, no, none of that. It was just a collective, like, finally we get to hear Melania. Right. Everybody wants to know and hear about the First Lady. I appreciate you calling in. Great to have you on the show, Judy. You stay safe, all right? You too. Bye. All right. Well, there you go. The review of the Malani movie. Pretty solid. I didn't hear anybody in to call it and said it was a bad movie. Everybody said it was a great movie. A documentary like no other. We've got more daybreak coming up next. You're on 92.5, Fox News. The only safe spaces here are during the commercials. And even that's not guaranteed. 92-5 Fox News. Right, all along.
Welcome back to daybreak. I wouldn't be doing you a, I'd be doing you a disservice, by the way, if I didn't immediately jump in here and tell you that we have a backup on all bridges inside Cape Coral. And let me just go ahead and say it. Cape Coral, it's official. Fort Myers is closed today. You can't come in. I mean, it seems that way, right? As you sit here right now and you... You hear about it? Because, Rob, there's another update, right? You're telling me veterans now, the veterans is backed up all the way to Chiquita now? Yes, so Veterans Memorial heading eastbound is backed up now also to Chiquita Boulevard. So that's moving pretty slowly. Cape Coral Parkway also still backed up to Chiquita. It does look like that's starting to move a little better. But I'm sure if you're sitting in that mess, you're feeling it. Bridges all kind of trying to play catch up here. 41 southbound also still backed up to Pine Island Road for some slowdowns there. So if you are in the Cape this morning, unfortunately, it's going to be a painful commute. Wink News Traffic Reports. I'm so thankful that I'm not in that. Maybe our boss won't make it in today. There's a good chance. No, he leaves too early. He's already here. He beat all that. Right. Maybe I won't have to see the boss after the show today. That would be great. You know, if I had to ask you a question, Rob, I'm going to ask you a quick question. We only got a few minutes. So I want to ask you a question. If you could pick any one place in the world that you'd have to stay for a year, a year. You can't leave that room. All right. It's one room. Right? What room would you pick and where? One room? One space, if you will. In the entire world. In the entire world. I would say probably some penthouse suite 100 floors up in Dubai, UAE. You want the whole suite. But what if you had to stay in the in the... Master bedroom of said sweet. You couldn't come out. That would be a little bit more challenging. Well, don't worry. There's one guy doing it. If you want to change your life to be a happier and healthier, have you tried locking yourself in solitary confinement for 365 days? Didn't we already learn that this is a bad idea? Didn't we learn that locking people down makes people recluse? It makes them not connect. But this guy's going to do it anyway. He's a 49-year-old man on TikTok named Skip Boyce. He's on TikTok. He launched a project called The Isolation Year, where he's staying inside. his room for a year without leaving for an entire year. He started on January 10th, so it's been about three weeks. He says the rules are simple. I don't leave the room and I live stream, live stream remains active 24-7. I don't bring the outside entertainment or unplanned interaction. I live, sleep, work out, read, write, and spend my time. right here. He adds it's not about shock value. You wanted to create a controlled environment to step away from the constant stimulation and reestablished discipline and rebuild habits around health, focus and accountability.
He lives in Utah. It says his own construction business. He used to own his own construction business. He lives with family, although his kids are adults, his isolation room is partially separated from the rest of the house and is used his skills to better to set it up. It has a bathroom and a shower, a makeshift gym, and an elaborate live streaming setup. He doesn't allow to have any unhealthy foods or drinks, especially soda, no alcohol, no drugs, and he's working with a virtual trainer to get in shape, and he's apparently tasked his wife with providing him food. Oh, my man, look at you. You figured it out. You don't have to deal with life at all for a whole year. You don't have to deal with anybody. Your wife is going to cheat on you. I'm just telling you, your wife is going to cheat on you. If she can't come into the room and spend nights with you, yeah, she's going to find entertainment elsewhere because all you've done is demoted her all the way down to being your chef. I think your idea is dumb. But... If you despise your significant other, it's probably one of the most intelligent things you could do, right? I'm going to do a challenge and lock myself in a room. No one can come in here. Not even you, honey. Slide my food through the door. I put a slot in there, just like a jail. And at that point, like, that's basically what he's doing, right? Locking himself up. I don't know of any place that I would want to actually stay somewhere for a year. I have a hard time staying here for three hours. That's the truth. It truly is. It's one of those things. Like I have to sit here and like keep my butt in the seat. I have no choice but to keep my butt in this seat. But this guy's out there just living it, right? But maybe he needed to. Maybe he was overweight. Maybe his blood levels were wrong and he needed to change his life. So he turned it into a bit where he could make money off streaming and make it a fun little thing. But I, for one, I ain't doing that ever, ever, ever. I couldn't even imagine, by the way. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to live in that house for an entire year, one room. By the way, don't forget, we are doing it. We're raising the flag here in Cape Coral, and we are doing it. I want to put the biggest flag, the tallest flagpole in all. See, here's my vision, all right? This is my personal vision, but I think it aligns with Cape Coral in 92-5 Fox News. A 250-foot flag in Cape Coral, the biggest flag in all in Cape Coral, and a big brown sign off of Exit 136. It says, biggest flagpole in Florida next exit. Right. You get off a colonial, you come across, you see the big ass, you see it. There it is. Right, great thing. Historical, if you will. The 5 at 835 is coming up next. Hold on. This is 92-5. Fox News.
92-5 Fox News, right all along. The truth isn't always popular, but it's always right. And it's heard here, 92-5 Fox News, right all along. Welcome back. This is 92-5 Fox News. Daybreak with Jason Jay Jones and the 5 at 835. The 5 at 835 is presented by Resney Wealth Management, creating financial independence for over 30 years online at resneywealth.com. Five, four, three, two, one. Number five. Are we right now on stolen land? I have no idea the history of this land of where we're sitting today. Nor do I, Senator. So that speaks volumes that neither of you are willing to say, hell no, we're not on stolen land. And I will say, at the Grammys, when you see an entertainer say, nobody is illegal while we're on stolen land. And then you see entertainers leap to their feet clapping so excitedly at the notion that America's fundamentally illegitimate. It starts to convey that the entertainment world is deeply corrupt. And I will point out that same singer who says no one is illegal on stolen land, promptly went back to her $14 million mansion. And somehow that stolen land she wasn't concerned about, just the United States of America. I'm actually putting in a change of address for Billy Eilish's house because it's half mine too. If she's on stolen land and half of that house is mine, I get to, I'm moving in. Watch out. I'm moving in. What are you going to do? Stop me? I love where Ted took it, but every nation on the earth was conquered at some point. At some point, every nation on this earth. Let that marinate in your mind while you've let everything unfold. Number four. There is a division in our government between the federal branch and the judicial branch. No judge cannot tell me or the president how to conduct foreign policy. No judge can tell me how I have to outreach to a foreign partner or what I need to say to them. And if I do reach that foreign partner and talk to them, I have under no obligation to share that with the judiciary branch. Just like a judge cannot order me to negotiate with a foreign minister of Russia, they cannot order me to negotiate with a foreign minister or the president of El Salvador. And if I did negotiate with them, which we have responded. to them. And we've told them we've had communications with the president of El Salvador. I am under no obligation under our division of powers in this country to share with the judicial branch how I conducted diplomacy of the United States. Chairman, he can't. Right. No judge is going to say it. No judge is going to tell that man how to do his job. And we already know that judges are. doing anything they can do, like these liberal left judges like the ones out of Orange County that just led two illegals out just because they said that they weren't given their rights and just let him go. And we'll have to go hunt them down and go get them again and find out what's going on. But they're saying that when it comes to exactly what is a...
being said here is just so you know, I understand Marco Rubio, no judge has a power to tell the executive branch what to do. And he's right. That's the thing. But these judges don't want to think these judges are out there doing crazy things. And there's a growing war between the judicial and executive branches that is continually going on. And it basically undermines the separation of power when they try to overreach like that. That's all I'm saying. Number three. Y'all are playing like Biden didn't exist. Y'all won't tell the American people about Lake and Riley. It's a one-sided debate. For four years, our border was obliterated. They let them come in by the tens of millions, and they want to go back that way. We're not going. We're not going. We're not going at all. We're not going back to that route. Listen, I can't believe it. And we heard Chuck Schumer say it earlier in the show that they want the borders open, right? They want to just open them up. Everybody can come in. Because they didn't want that in 2010. So it's not about what a Democrat believes. It's about what's popular for them now. And those are the exact type of people that you shouldn't elect ever. You should never elect somebody that can't stand the same now that they stood 10 years ago unless their stance has bettered the world in one way or another. And illegals do not better the country or the world. We keep them out of our country for a reason. And let's continue to keep it a tight, tight border. I'm all for it. Number two. Tax filing season began last week, and thanks to House Republicans, it's going to be easier than ever for working families to file their taxes. And why you ask? Because Republicans expanded the standard deduction. To put it in plain English, the first $31,500 of family earns. is tax-free. So the first $31,500 of every family, tax-free. There you go. Wow. That is, that's a great thing. By the way, that was Representative Lisa McLean out of Michigan, a Republican admission, highlighting tax season, talking about the fact that it's tax time. It's time to go get your taxes file, get your refunds. You know, I wait on a check. Do you know that? Do you wait on a check? Do you wait for the check or do you get direct deposit, Rob? Oh, no. Actually, I think last couple years we've done direct deposit. I won't do direct deposit. You want to know why? Yeah, tell me. I'm not giving you my bank account information, IRS. That's fair. I'm not giving you my bank info ever. Never would I give you my bank info, so one day when I do owe you money, you just take it. Right? Because you've got access to my bank account. I know they can just take it anyway, but you got to work a little harder the other way. If I just give you access, then you just take it when you want it. No way, man. No way. Mail me a check. I'll wait for the check patiently just like everybody else. And when it comes, I'll be like, oh, yeah, it's here. It's been a long time since I got a check. Number one.
What would you say to the survivors who feel David Gunn justice? You are the worst reporter. No wonder. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile. Well, I'm asking you about survivors. You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth. And you're a very dishonest organization. And they should be ashamed of you. Kaitlan Collins, they don't like you there, girl. They don't like you there at all. You know, I was... constantly thinking about what he said. And I watched this video like three times as he said it, right? And I went back and I watched it again and I watched it again. And Trump says she never smiles. If I say, Rob, don't you smile right now. Don't smile. Don't smile. You have to force yourself not to smile. When somebody says you never smile, you'll smile because they say you never smile. And you're like, what do you mean I never smile? What are you talking about? That's funny. She didn't smile. When he said something, she didn't smile still. She got no personality. She got no soul. I mean, when I tell you right now, listen, don't you smile, you're going to smile. I've been doing that with my kids for years when they're mad at me. When they get mad about something, they're mad, they can't get something to the store. I'm like, well, don't you smile. Don't you let it out. Look, Rob's letting it out right now. It's what happens. That's why. She is. She's not very good. She's a bad reporter. I love that he said, what'd you say? It doesn't matter. You suck. You're horrible. Get out of, get away. You're out of here. They should fire you immediately. You're horrendous. What was your question? Your answer, you're not getting it. You suck. You're miserable. Get out of here. I like it. It's what I love most about our president, by the way, is that he's like, what's your answer? Oh, who are you with? CNN? Ooh, they're bad. That's the worst place to work. Like, why do you work there? Do you even want to class your check? Aren't you ashamed to go to the bank with that check? It says CNN on it? Isn't that embarrassing? I mean, that's the kind of raw he is, and I'm all for it. The 5 at 835. You heard about the story I'm about to tell you back in July. And I'm going to tell you, do you remember the name Anthony Zekka? He is the stepson to dog the bounty hunter. I don't know if you remember back in July, he fatally shot his 13-year-old son at the house in Naples. His blood alcohol content was 0.1-1. Almost, what, one and a half times the legal limit? And... He was playing with a gun, quick drawing it out of his waistband with the clip removed and the chamber cleared, right? Quick drawing it, playing with it, being unsafe, practicing unsafe firearms handling. And then he puts the clip back in, loads the chamber, does it one more time, and kills his 13-year-old son. Fatally shoots him because of...
Poor fire harm handling under the influence of alcohol. Under the influence of alcohol. He's been charged with aggravated manslaughter. I cannot believe what it would be like being responsible for the death of your own child. It would be something I could never live with for the rest of my life, but he is going to face it and possibly a life sentence of facing with it. He's been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child with a firearm and using a firearm while under the influence. Now, when you hear this story, you know there's a couple of things that are involved in this. Poor handling of firearms and alcohol. Alcohol impairs your motor skills, your judgment, and so many other things. So by... This man, Zekka, pulling this gun under the influence of alcohol, was irresponsible and destructive and ruined a life and killed someone and ruined many lives around, all because he wanted to play with his gun out in Naples Manor. This was July 19th, by the way, 2005. He's now been charged. Meanwhile, in Florida, the safe and smart initiative for the recreational marijuana has asked the Supreme Court to continue their judgment and their scheduled hearing on the petitions. Whether or not they do or whether or not the Attorney James Uthmeier recommends to block the initiative and not to do it, we'll find out. But the bigger issue is the fact that you can go buy three-fifths of rum right now, drink them all to the head, commit a crime, all because you legally bought too much alcohol. There's never been a story on the record of someone under the influence of marijuana. committing a violent crime. But tragic gun plus alcohol incidences, alcohol linked to vast majority of violent crimes, domestic incidences, fatal accidents, marijuana rarely causes aggressive behavior. A lot of people, we always talk about the differences between marijuana and alcohol. I want you to understand that there are many differences, but I always say this. when you think about the worst decision you've ever made in your life. I want you to go back and think about the worst decision you've ever made in your life right now. Have you thought about it? You know what it is? You got it in your mind? Let me ask you a question about that particular incident. Were you under the influence of alcohol? Were you under the influence of some drug other than marijuana? Or did you make a bad decision under the influence of marijuana? I bet you it's the prior one. Alcohol involved. I can sit here right now and think of every bad decision I've ever made and I would say 95% of them was when I was a heavy drinker.
Just some food thought. I know I'm a little early on my food for thought, but when I saw this story, I immediately thought, let's get it out there. Let's discuss this and let's pray for the loved ones of this child. We should probably pray for this man. The fact that he had to be responsible for the death of his own child. It's going to be something that I know I couldn't live with it at all. It would be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. So we're going to take a quick break. I'll come back. I want to cover the one last time, one story that we talked about earlier in the show and give you some food for thought before we roll. We have a great show. Just hold on. We got more day break coming up next right here on 92.5 Fox News. Turn the volume up and the nonsense down. This is Southwest Florida's 925 Fox News. Right. All along. Welcome back to 92-5 Fox News and daybreak. Let's go ahead right now and give you one more traffic update before we wrap up the show. Go ahead. All right. Wink News traffic reports that the bridges are still a little sticky right now. Midpoint Bridge has become a bit more congested. The backups for Veterans Memorial now stretch all the way to Surfside Boulevard. So just be aware of that. Del Prado Boulevard, north and southbound between Cape Coral Parkway and Veterans Memorial, slowdowns on both sides, north and south. And then, of course, Del Prado, southbound. from State Route 78, also seeing slowdowns as people try to get through to the bridges. Cape Coral Parkway still backed up to Chiquita. Once you cross the threshold of the bridges other than the midpoint, you're going to do just fine. But all of the pipes leading up to the major bridges are pretty congested right now. I'm also seeing the Edison Bridge south, which is just slightly north of the main Calusahatchie Bridge, does seem to be moving along pretty good right now. So if you have an opportunity to zip north to that, that might be a better way around. Just be patient out there. And good luck in that rough commute. We want to wrap the show up with a quick story that I think you need to hear. I don't know if you remember. Teddy Bridgewater was a former NFL coach and he was the high school coach from Miami High School and was suspended and I think eventually fired for helping kids. There was a kid who needed some food and some ride to practice and he would cover like Uber rides and meals out out of his own pocket. Someone found out and they suspended him. So Florida, doing what Florida does, they announce House Bill 305. And this allows coaches to personally pay for food, clothing, transportation, housing when a player is in real need. No cash, no recruiting involved, no recruiting inducements, and no school or boost or money involved. But if a kid needs a ride to practice, great. If a kid is hungry, hasn't eaten, provide food for them. Now, NCAA rules could cost the player eligibility.
or the coach their job, so players missing practice because no food at home, no gas money, unstable housing. Coaches want to remove that fear, and they've done so for many years. So many coaches I know will always go above and beyond. I got a friend named Coach Bob. Coach Bob used to drive around the city to pick up his kids for Pop Warner football because they didn't have a dad. Some of these kids don't have fathers at all. They grow up without fathers in the house. Coach becomes that steady male voice saying, show up, work hard, be accountable. Life lessons, discipline. Sometimes, the only consistent adult male figure they have. If he wants to step in and help out like a good father, I say yes, let's make it happen. It removes any NCAA handcuffs for the coach, and let's make this bill work. I think a lot of people miss out the fact that the mentorship that you get from a coach is something that you can't replace. The mentorship that you get from a man who steps in to a fatherless family, or even to any young man's life could change him forever. There's many people that will tell you a story of many stories you can read across the world about people that found a coach, and that coach took them out of a bad lifestyle, and now they're a great player for what they do. What this bill does is show compassion. It trusts good men, coaches, to do the right by the kids and their care. Now, I would side note and say background checks all day long just based on what we've already told on this show. But I do believe in a strong family unit, and sometimes it has to be a coach. Just so you know.
Thank you for tuning into the show today. We will see you tomorrow. Byron Donalds's will be here and so much more. Remember, stay safe, Southwest Florida. Slide right. Listen to daybreak. Did I say that right? I'll be out for Rob. You stay safe. See you.
