And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
If I ask you which state is the home to the oldest population, what would your answer be?
I think I know what it would be.
You would be wrong.
The average American retires at 62.
That's what it says here in this story.
I find that hard to believe.
according to Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies.
I love them.
Found a five-year gap, 67 and 62,
between when older workers expect to retire
and when they actually retire.
Older Americans who are retired or nearing retirement
and those 65 and older,
according to the U.S. Census Bureau,
make up 18% of the population.
Now, back to the states
with the oldest populations.
So the number one state
for the oldest population,
on average,
is...
I know what you're thinking,
but is Maine.
Say it with me now.
Maine.
Maine is home to the oldest population on average.
Followed by Puerto Rico,
then in New Hampshire,
then Vermont,
then West,
Virginia, then the state that I'm pretty sure you were going to answer with, Florida.
I know, seems weird.
Now, the Maine is still home to a large share of lifelong residents who have aged in place,
while Florida, home to the second largest elderly population percentage,
has a large share of retirees who were born elsewhere.
Uh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
I find it hard to believe that people are,
hey, you know what, I'm going to retire and move to Maine.
Oh, okay.
I mean, if that's you, great.
More, more power to you.
Now, the state with the youngest population on average,
with the average man aged 31.4,
and the average woman aged 32.7,
is Utah.
I love Utah, man.
Utah is beautiful state.
I could live in Utah.
I've never lived in that state.
And it's very possible I could live in Utah.
As for Maine,
eh, not so much.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Okay, so if you're listening live,
today is the first of February 2024.
And that means
that it's Black History Month, the beginning of Black History Month.
So we have that to look forward to.
It is a leap year.
So it is, we get an extra day this month.
I know.
I know.
So happy birthday to the leplings.
As you know, that means that if you were born on a leap year day, the 29th of February,
then you only have to celebrate your birthday once every four years.
So it's kind of cool, right?
And for those of you that didn't know the reason that we have the leap day or leap year,
according to experts, our calendar is not entirely in sync with our planet's trip around the sun.
So a common year has 365 days on the calendar while a leap year boasts that extra day.
Their purpose keeps our calendar in sync with the seasons and solar year.
Or the length of time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the sun,
which is about 365 and a quarter days.
That is according to time and date.com.
So every four years, we have to have 365 days on our calendar.
If we didn't, all hell would break loose.
Ha, we would our seasons and our equinoxes and our summers and our winter solstices
would no longer align with the seasons.
And dogs would sleep with cats.
If there were no leap years, seasons,
would completely swap every 750 years.
The middle of the summer would become the middle of the winter.
Calendar, climate change, astronomy.
Oh, my gosh.
No.
It wouldn't just be that time of year.
It would be a different time of year.
So we have to add an extra day every four years.
Then, tomorrow, the second of February, 2024, is a good.
Groundhog Day. Yay!
So every year, for those of you that don't know,
Phil the Groundhog emerges from his borough
in Gobbler's Knob, Western Pennsylvania.
He then communicates, or she,
but it's always a he, since it's a he name, Phil.
He then communicates to the president of the
Ponsatani Groundhog Club,
whether he saw his shadow, and then the proclamation
is translated.
So only the president of the Ponsetani Groundhog Club can understand Groundhog Ease.
So we'll find out whether we have six more weeks of winter or an early spring is on the way.
Now, according to the Groundhog Club members, there's only been one Phil.
I didn't know that.
So he's been predicting since 1887.
That makes him 137 years old this year.
Okay.
Well, actually older, right?
Because the Ponsetani Groundhog Club was established in 1887.
So Phil would have already had to have been alive.
Okay.
I guess that's his way of saying, no.
Hey, Staten Island Chuck.
The other one,
everybody tries to pretend is Ponsetani Phil.
Why don't you back off?
Okay.
Now, according to the Ponsetani Groundhog Club,
Phil has never been wrong.
I didn't know that either.
But he is actually, according to experts at the Storm Fax Weather Almanac,
and I love the Storm Facts Weather Almanac,
Phil has only been correct, 39% of the,
the time. So, I mean, something will look forward to on Groundhog Day tomorrow. All right?
And just a side note, I know everyone loves Groundhog Day, the 1993 film with Bill Murray.
It was really filmed in Woodstock, Illinois. So just a reminder, it's all. Just a reminder.
That's how movies work. He didn't actually film it at the old Gobblers Now.
in western Pennsylvania.
Also, another thing happening
tomorrow,
NASA has said that there's
a potentially hazardous
asteroid
that is going to zoom past Earth.
I know.
This asteroid named
2.008
0S7.
Wow. That's a
touching warm name.
It brings home the family, doesn't it?
2,008.
0.S7. It's estimated to be between 690 and 1,570 feet across, according to data from NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies. Sinos. Love them. So this asteroid is going to pass by Earth at a distance of around 0.01908 astronomical units. So keep your head up and keep your head on a swivel. That's about 1.77
million miles. So just, I mean, the moon is like 240,000 miles away. So we're probably going to be okay.
But I mean, they say in this story, Venus is 38 million miles away. Okay, thank you. Appreciate it.
So with the moon being 240,000 miles, we're probably okay. So it's going to make it's closest
to fly by in the afternoon tomorrow.
And so, and that's, I mean, I guess we know that.
We know exactly where it's going to be speeding by at about 18.2.
Well, no, I don't even want to go into the kilometer.
So let's go into 40.
It's going to be traveling at 40,700 miles per hour.
Okay.
That's pretty fast.
So, it's still, it's going to be there, though.
It's going to be there.
2.008.0.7.
It's going to be going by us at 40,000, over 40,000 miles an hour,
and almost 2 million miles away.
So be careful.
It's classified as a near-ear-earth object,
potentially hazardous asteroid, due to its size
and how close it will come to the earth.
NEOs of the near-earth objects are defined as being within 30 million miles of Earth,
31,000 solar system objects falling into this category.
31,000 solar system objects falling into the near-earth object category.
That doesn't make me feel better.
PHAs, on the other hand, the potentially hazardous asteroids,
are closer than 4.6 million miles away and are also larger than 4.6 million miles away,
and are also larger than 460,000.
feet in diameter, only around 2,300 and 50 of those are being tracked by NASA.
So don't even worry about it.
Okay, I don't even know why I brought it up.
With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy
your travel bug, but your taste buds too.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
So I was looking at this one study that talked about how syphilis cases in the U.S. have risen to the highest level since the 1950s.
And this is according to the data, the new data on sexually transmitted infections, released yesterday from the CDC.
I'm sorry, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So the U.S. saw 203,500 syphilis cases in 2022.
That's the last year for which the data is available.
up 17% from 2021 and nearly 80% from 2018.
Holy cow.
The data also showed that 3,755 babies were born with congenital syphilis in 2022,
a nearly 31% change year over year,
and a 1883% change since 2018.
Wow.
So then it goes on to talk about gonorrhea.
And the new cases of gonorrhea in 2022 declined for the first time of the decade.
Okay, so now we're getting somewhere.
Health experts aren't really not sure for the reason.
Maybe because instead of gonorrhea, they're getting syphilis.
Again, I'm not an expert.
I don't work for the CDC.
I don't know.
And neither do they.
So cases of chlamydia, which accounted for roughly two-thirds of the more than 2.5 million total cases of.
of STD infections in 2022, we're up only 0.3% year over year.
So it's not even for chlamydia.
So that's awesome.
So only syphilis was way up.
Got a read down chlamydia even.
So, well, they were up 0.3%, which is, you know, really.
But year over year, they were down 6.2%.
So that's good.
Yeah.
So chlamydia and.
gonorrhea down and only syphilis up.
But it got me thinking that, you know,
might not be a bad thing to have the Jace case around.
You know, the Jace case?
It's a personalized emergency kit that contains five essential antibiotics
that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
I don't know what got me thinking about that, but it did.
Now, Jace case, you can
get it at jacemedical.com.
Jacemedical.com.
J-A-S-E-Madical.com.
As I said, it has the five essential antibiotics,
but they are continually working to expand their medication offerings at J-S-S-
so they've even added Ivermectin as an option in the J-S case.
What's cool now is you can buy a gift card for your family or loved ones or even people you
don't like, you know what?
You can just buy a gift card and give them away if you want.
that say so people can get their own Jace case to personalize it to their needs.
Everyone should be empowered to care for themselves and their loved ones during anything
that is unexpected or even if it is expected, you still should be empowered to care for yourself.
I mean, we already know there's drug shortages and there's drug shortages on antibiotic amoxicicicicicicicicin
and other drugs that doctors are having a tough time getting.
And it's very, it's made people will make some impossible choices that I do not wish on anyone.

All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
So Elton John and Bernie Topin are getting another award.
They're getting a Gershwin Prize.
Now, this Gershwin Prize was.
established back in 2007 and is named after American songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin,
whose collection resides in the Library of Congress, of course.
Last year's recipient was Joni Mitchell, who he said yesterday,
talked to she was going to be at the Grammys this weekend and perform finally.
If you tell me, Elton John and Bernie Toppin go in after Joni Mitchell, that ticks me off.
Other honorees include Lionel Richie.
All right, Garth Brooks.
Okay. Smokey Robinson,
Willie and Elson, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney.
I don't know.
Elton and Bernie should have been in before these people,
but I'll give you Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, McCartney.
All right, not Joni Mitchell, though.
I'm sorry, no.
Joni Mitchell, they should not have been awarded the Gershwin Prize
after Johnny Mitchell.
You kidding me?
I mean, these, these are you.
This pair of songwriters, Elton John and Bernie Toplin,
hello, they have six-decade career.
I know Joni Mitchell is 80 years old,
but she hasn't had 70 top 40 hits
and sold more than 300 million records worldwide.
I know she's Joni Mitchell.
I got it.
But no, I'm sorry.
He's performed over 4,000 times in 80 countries.
He holds the record for the biggest selling physical single of all time
candle in the wind from 1997.
I probably shouldn't have said that out loud because now I'm going to be singing it sometime later today.
I should not have mentioned that.
So congratulations to Elton John and to Bernie Topin.
They're going to be honored with the Gerswin Prize for Popular Song, along with his...
That's just wonderful.
The librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, you know where you love her,
shared the news that the...
The 2024 recipients of the coveted, of the coveted U.S.-based award will both be Brits
and that they will be honored with a tribute concert in Washington, D.C. on the 20th of March,
and the concert will premiere on PBS stations across the U.S. on April 8th.
I hope we at least get a video message.
Thank you from Elton and Bernie, because Elton was recovering from knee surgery at the last
award stuff.
and Bernie, he's a
old curmudgeon now.
So maybe we get a video
of them, separate videos.
I don't want them together.
I mean, they're in the
Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Elton's got an E.
Let's, I mean, this is just like
throwing something that.
I get that they're Brits.
So maybe that's why they
eased off on
giving him the Gershwin Prize
right away.
But come on now.
that before after joanie mitchell joney mitchell gets that before elton john and burney topin uh no they should rescind that
joney i know you're performing at the gramees this year for the first time we're taken back to gershwin award
and we're going to give it to elton and burney and then we'll give it back to you on uh next year
because we can't have you above elton john and burney topping on the list that just can't happen sorry
You just have to live with it.
Sorry, Joni.
I mean, I get it.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
And I was hooked on some of the Joni Mitchell stuff.
I told you that when we talked about her performing at the Grammys for the first time.
I was forced to like Joni Mitchell over the years.
But head of Elton John and Bernie Toppin?
No.
No, I'm sorry.
That cannot stand.
Did I ever tell you that I was related to the Lamborghini family?
I know.
I know.
I just found out.
I did a DNA test.
I found a drinking straw from the Lamborghini family.
And I did a DNA test.
And yeah, yeah, I am a part of the Lamborghini family now.
So this Italian woman has claimed to be a Lamborghini heiress.
And she claims it now because she tested her alleged sister's DNA from a drinking straw.
So Flavia Borzone, 35.
claims that she has irrefutable DNA evidence
that she is the secret daughter of Tonino Lamborghini, 76 now,
after she tested his daughter's, uh,
Electra's saliva.
Okay.
So the Naples native said she hired a private investigator
to retrieve a drinking straw used by Elektra,
who is a socialite and singer to prove they were siblings.
And Borzone was the,
illegitimate air to the luxury cars family.
So according to her, the DNA sample was tested at the University of Ferrara.
I love that place, where experts said the genetic sample proved Borzone and a letter were in fact related.
Okay.
So the illegitimate air claims Lamborghini and her mother,
Rosa Lama Coslamo, had met at a bus stop in 1980, while the sports car
air was driving by and offered her a lift. Hey, good looking. We'll be back to pick me up later. In fact,
why don't you just hop in now? Uh, the two then allegedly struck up a relationship. Hey, need a ride?
Yes. Okay. Yeah, you know this car I'm driving. Yeah, it's mine. It's my company. Want to drive
around for a while? Oh, okay. Uh, they struck up a relationship and ended up with Borzone being born in
1988. So they met in
1980 after he picked her up
from a bus stop and then
he just continued the relationship
with her. Okay. And she was born in
1988. Okay.
So Lamborghini
denies that Borzone is his
daughter and sued her and her mother
for defamation after she went public with her
findings. However, Borazone claims she
secretly recorded a conversation with her
suspected father who has five legitimate
children. And, okay, so she meant to see him. The beautician's lawyer claimed Lord
Lamborghini had admitted to having a relationship with her mother and that Borzone's real name
was a tribute to his mother. Despite his could-be daughter's evidence, Lamborghini's lawyer is calling
her claim unlawful because she did not consent to giving her DNA. Due to this, he is arguing that
DNA should not be admitted as evidence.
So if there's no DNA, there's no proof.
Nice.
Okay.
All right.
So we'll see.
She wants a piece of the Lamborghini pie.
I don't blame her.
The other kids are like,
how about no?
That money is ours.
Dad,
dad was great.
And we love him.
And we're sorry that he may or may not have cheated on mom.
But none of that.
money is going to you okay mom was just some bus stop hookup and I'm sure they used
harsher words than that but the bus stop ho and you are not getting a penny of the
Lamborghini fortune they'll buy her out just here's some money and go away and
shut up I guess there's going to be a trial now in March but we'll see if there's
going to be a trial because without the DNA, what have you got left? I don't know. I don't know.
It's funny he doesn't just boy her out and say, here's some money, go away. And she probably wants
the recognition, though, more than the money. And so it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough.
So remember we talked about the Britney Spears memoir of a woman and me. And she said that
Justin Timberlake cheated on her while they dated. And, and, you know, and, you know, and, you know,
and that she had an abortion.
Man, she wouldn't have made that choice if it wasn't for him.
And then later in an Instagram post,
Brittany said I want to apologize for some things I wrote in my book.
If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about,
I'm deeply sorry.
She also uploaded footage of Timberlake during an appearance
on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,
and she went on to say how much she loved the new song,
and she didn't name it.
Timberlake outright in the clip, but I mean, that's who she was talking about.
So, Justin was doing a pop-up concert in New York City to mark his 43rd birthday.
And in the middle of the concert, he stopped.
And he said, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely effed nobody.
So love you too, Britt.
Love you, too.

You know, yesterday we talked about Elon no longer being the richest person in the world because they struck a judge, a Delaware judge, struck down his $55 billion Tesla pay package for being excessive.
Man, it pisses me off.
How does his $55 billion pay package affect anyone but him and, you know, shareholders of Tesla?
I was just amazed that this could actually happen.
So I actually, I looked into it a little bit, and I found out that, you know, in 2018, the compensation package was approved by 80% of Tesla shareholders during a time the company's valuation was $60 billion.
The plan would require him to grow the market cap by $50 billion increments with the first milestone starting at $100 billion valuation, with the final milestone being $650 billion in addition to aggressive revenue, pre-tax profit growth targets,
that many thought would be impossible.
And however, he hit the milestones.
So he'd be granted his full $55 billion compensation package
that gave him stock options to purchase Tesla stock
at a heavily discounted price and the stock could be sold,
could not be sold for another five years.
He hit all the milestones.
So one shareholder who held nine shares of Tesla
filed a lawsuit claiming that the compensation package
was excessive and unfair,
claiming the board had not acted in the,
the best interest of its shareholders. Wow. So then today, or yesterday, actually, the Delaware
judge named Kathleen St. Jude McCormick, love her, if she, in fact, identifies as a she,
voided the compensation package, claiming it was excessive, and the process for coming up with
Elon's comp plan wasn't independent because he controlled the board of directors. And the directors
who approved the plan weren't truly independent.
Oh my gosh.
This is just Agassine.
Well, of course, Elon decided to strike back a little bit on Ags.
This is a virtual town square.
He said, hey, the state judge ruled this week
that my 55 billion pay package from Tesla was exorbitant and unfair.
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
They're going to appeal the decision, no question.
But he told his followers, I am one on X.
Of course, you can follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR.
Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware,
pulled them on whether Tesla should move its state of incorporation to Texas instead,
and he has already moved X from Delaware to Nevada.
So the experts worry that he could influence other companies,
to leave.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the whole point.
Get the hell out.
If now, Delaware,
70% of the Fortune 500 companies
are incorporated there
because that was the state
where they, you know,
that's the state they made everything easy
to be incorporated from.
And that's a $2 billion business
for the state of Delaware.
And so now,
and now that they have judges
from the state of Delaware
because they're supposed to
to have these experienced judges with expertise in business law.
And now if they're going to start voting against a board of directors and corporate CEOs
for making too much money, get the hell out of the state of Delaware.
What else is the state of Delaware known for?
Oh, that's right.
Being the home of our president.
So just, I just think incredible.
We do live in amazing times.
And speaking of those amazing times, I saw where the Senate did.
Judiciary Committee.
They kept pelting the old social media
CEOs with questions on
the safety of their platforms yesterday.
Social media use among teens has been tied to
depression, cyberbullying, and drug use.
In the line of fire, meta, TikTok, X, Discord, and Snap.
Met as Mark Zuckerberg faced
some of the most intense scrutiny yet
with Senator Lindsey Graham
saying Zuckerberg has blood out his hands.
At one point, Zuckerberg turned,
apologize to families in the room
whose children have been harmed by social media.
What does that even?
I mean, he turned and said he was sorry
for what happened to them.
I mean, of course he is.
How does that, I don't know.
TikTok's CEO,
fielded questions about the app's connection to China.
I mean, they tried to tie him into China
and, you know, he doesn't even,
he's not even a Chinese citizen.
It was really, really weird.
And I know, and I know,
And I know that we guy got that the social media stuff is tied to depression.
But I really, I don't know, I have been really torn.
And I don't want the government involved.
And yet, I guess we have to do something.
I don't know.
Do we have to do something?
Or is it up to us to have some personal responsibility to do something?
Oh, there's a thought.
Oh, my gosh.
No, get half that.
We need the government to take over.
Right?
Right.
Okay, so I've been seeing this story all day about the messenger shutting down,
less than a year after launching the news site.
And they're calling it the Titanic of Publishing Disasters.
Okay, well, it's most definitely not the Titanic of publishing disasters
because people knew about Titanic when it sailed.
I don't even know about this mess.
I guess I should have.
It was a news site that launched a great fanfare last May.
I honestly, I don't remember this great fanfare for the news site, the messenger.
But it shut down after less than a year.
That's really sad.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I don't want any company shutting down.
So it was scrubbed of all articles.
Hours after the insider at the publication said the site is going.
dark. None of the roughly 300 staffers will get severance. Wow. The homepage was blank. It's
no rep from Messenger commented. Co-founder and CEO Jimmy Finkelstein, who raised $50 million to
launch the site, had been scrambling to secure funding this week as employees braced to hear
whether the company would avert disaster. I guess it obviously did not overt disaster.
will go down as one of the biggest busts of all times, said one media expert.
Obviously, they keep calling it the Titanic of Publishing Disasters.
Finkelstein had big dreams of turning Messenger into a major centrist news outlet that would include hiring around 550 journalists within a year and compete with the likes of the Los Angeles Times.
He paid top dollar to lure away talent from major publications and would ultimately, that's what ultimately,
killed the messenger was lack of message and arrogance.
Hundreds of people left great jobs with the promise of creating something better.
That turned out to be a big lie.
Really, really strange.
I don't understand, I mean, I understand how difficult it is to, you know,
stay alive in today's world.
And I don't wish anything bad on anyone.
But for $90 million, $100 million,
$10. I'm willing to give it a shot.
Okay, so he raised $50 million to launch the site.
If you want to give me $50 million to launch a new site, no problem.
Happy to do it.
And I guarantee you that my site will go underwater like the Titanic within a year as well.
But I will have about $20 million of that $50 million.
That, I can't admit that.
No, no, no, no.
I'd like to see some of the pay structures of the sure they were paying their
they were paying their talent big money and the site paid the editor around uh well 900,000 a year.
Maybe that's the problem.
Maybe we were just paying people too much money, including the CEOs.
But hey, maybe go to a Delaware judge and figure it out because, uh, oh, it's too late for that.
It's already shut down.
That sucks.
My other point is I never knew about Messenger.
Maybe Messenger should have had a message.
Maybe.
But again, what do I know?
Marshall's buyers travel far and wide,
hustling for great deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to.
They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.

And hustled all.
those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals, we get the deals.
You gift for good stuff. So the ongoing case of the Kansas City Chiefs fans who died in the backyard
still ongoing. So the main guy, Jordan Willis, whose home it was where the three other men,
Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGeeney and David Harrington, froze to death in his backyard. It's now being
reported that he is facing his addiction head-on.
He has checked himself into a rehab.
After a shocking loss of three of his close friends
under extremely tragic circumstances,
he recognized that he had a problem with addiction,
and without elaborating on the exact nature of that,
he checked himself into rehab after vacating his home
and putting his things into storage.
Yeah, well, he moved out of his home
after the death of his three friends in his backyard
and rented a house got the hell out of there
because he was for fear of retaliation
and people coming about coming around
I've seen different angles and pictures of this house
throughout since the time
since the January 7th playoff game
all right they were there
and they you know neighbors said they were seen bringing in
two 30 packs of beer and there were
texting going on about the drug use at the party
okay
okay
I don't know
I just don't feel like
he had anything to do with it
I don't know though
I know there's all kinds of allegations
still ongoing
the investigation is still going
I know the toxicology reports
are still pending
for the deceased men
what are we doing
it happened on January 7th
or January 7th or January
whatever the game was
I mean we're in the month
of February now
let's get to it
what are you guys
sleeping in Canada
Kansas City? Get the toxicology report. What are we even doing? So the case is not being investigated
as foul play, according to the police departments. And I think we have to remember also that he lost
three of his friends. You know, I know that we're all thinking about foul play, myself included,
it seems strange to me that three men would be in the backyard and freeze to death and you pass out
in your bedroom for two days
and you don't hear a thing,
nothing, you know, hear anything?
And the girlfriend breaks into your home
and then finds the dead body out back
and then there you are?
I don't know.
It does seem strange.
Could it happen?
Sure.
Absolutely, it could happen.
I know that, you know,
the one father or the father
and the one mother think that
they learned something or saw something
they shouldn't have.
And so they needed to,
to get be gotten rid of okay well what was that well we don't know and other relatives i guess are trying
to say that willis who worked uh who worked or works as an hiv scientist with the international
AIDS vaccine initiatives neutralizing antibody center and i love that at the sheaf lab you can't man
he does good work there as an HIV scientist with the international AIDS vaccine
initiatives neutralizing antibody center sheaf lab uh they tried to say that he's some sort of mad
scientist or something okay come on now i mean the whole thing is just really really horrible and uh
we'll see i want to see the toxicology report and i guess we just have to believe that the guys
were drunk and high and went out to the backyard to smoke a cigarette or do something and got
locked out and couldn't get back in and they
that he then had passed out in his bedroom and didn't hear anything until a couple of days later.
That's what we have to believe.
Okay.
All right.
Well, for right now, then, I'll believe it.
For now.
Like when the attorney for the Peaky Blinders actor Paul Anderson, who played Arthur Shelby in the show Peeky Blinders,
the attorney said, you know, my character sometimes slips into the character.
that he played on Peaky Blinders, Arthur Shelby.
And he tries to please people that recognize him.
That's why he had crack cocaine on him.
That's why he had other drugs on him when he was arrested.
That's why, because people, it was boxing day.
And people had recognized him, and he wanted to make him happy.
And so that's what he was doing.
Oh, okay.
Now, according to the story, he was in some location.
and he was smoking crack in the back room
and the owner was like, hey,
it smells like crack back here, called the police.
I realized it was him,
and then they went into his house and picked him up.
So he's 48 years old now.
He is now accused and, well, I mean, it's not accused.
I mean, that's what he did.
He had crap possessing Class A crack cocaine,
as well as crack class B anphetamines.
And to Class C,
prescription substances.
Now, when he was arrested,
they arrested him with the crack.
They found him
with a wrap of brown powder
found to be anphetamines,
diazepine, and pre-gabalin.
Now, those are, I mean, those last two
are, like, seizure medications.
What are we, what are we even doing?
Does he even know that, or is he just
taking it? Does it give you?
I'm going to go out of the limb here.
I haven't, I don't take seizure medication.
for a buzz.
So if you can get a buzz from Caesar medications,
hey, let me know.
Let me know.
So he pleaded guilty to all four charges
and was fined a total of 1,300 and 45 euros.
I mean, he's played a lot of dark characters over the years.
Great character on Vicky Blinders.
You know, I mean, his character is, you know, PTSD, drugs,
violent.
It's awesome.
That's what makes the show.
so awesome. So if, you know, he says that he sometimes slips into character to please fans,
who am I to say it's not true? So I'll believe him for now. All right, I'm going to give you the joke

All right, joke of the day.
So I read this,
and I think I've rewritten it in my head a couple of times.
So it's, I don't know where I got it.
Sometimes I like to,
I just read the joke.
from where I got it from.
So I don't know where I got this.
This has been in my head for the past couple of days.
So I believe that I've now rewritten it three or four times in my own head.
But so this is the joke of the day for you, okay?
And I've been laughing about it for three or four days, actually.
That's why it's been rewritten in my head for three or four days.
So I questioned 100 women while they showered about their lifestyle choices.
and the number one response was how the hell did you get in here?
I know, I know, I know.
