**Texas Roadhouse Hoax Meltdown, Jelly Roll Flips on Trump, and Week 0 Football** Stormy, wet roads in Central Mississippi. Clay and Creston open with a reminder to pray for cops, tow truck drivers, firefighters, and paramedics working wrecks. Creston shares a story from his law enforcement days: two patrol cars getting slammed while they were already working a wreck on I-20 coming into Clinton after water pooled at the bottom of the hill near Norwell Road. Then the internet’s latest racial hoax. A post claimed a secret Facebook group of 400,000 Texas Roadhouse and Logan’s Roadhouse employees has been targeting Black customers’ food since George Floyd — spitting in it, not washing hands, using a “blind spot” in the kitchen. Clay calls complete shenanigans. The employee numbers don’t add up. Texas Roadhouse employs around 101,000 people total. Logan’s is a fraction of that. Videos of people losing their minds over the rumor get played, including one woman having an allergic reaction she now “knows” was the food, and an uncensored rant leaping from honey butter biscuits to lynching in broad daylight and only supporting Black-owned restaurants. Clay draws a hard line: when he says “culture,” he is not talking about every Black person. He is talking about the loud, no-tipping, send-it-back-after-eating-half, waste-food-at-the-buffet, entitlement crowd that restaurant workers of every race dread. Same people who ruined free birthday dinners at places like Berry’s. Context matters. Most kitchen staff at these restaurants are Black. The rumor was rage bait that a lot of accounts ran with anyway. Jelly Roll goes on Jimmy Kimmel and doubles down on the Trump shots, thanks Rosie O’Donnell, and acts like nobody should be surprised a guy named after a pastry has opinions. Clay isn’t buying the “I don’t treat myself with reverence so why should I treat the president that way” routine from someone who spent years selling a redemption story and staying out of politics. Double-stuffed Jelly. Sports wrap: Week 0 college football (UNC-TCU, FSU, Memphis-UNLV and the rest), high school kickoff including Madison Central at Pearl, Daytona Saturday night, AEW All In, the Pro Bowl finally being put out of its misery, and a history lesson on the old College All-Stars vs. NFL exhibition games.
