And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Another day. Another way scientists are trying to make us stop eating meat. Researchers have been on a quest to find the most sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to meat and other animal-based products. A recently published study in Nature Communications. I love Nature Communications. suggested our dystopian future could feature genetically engineered mold as a prime source of nutrition.

Yum! A yum! Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, I'm a big fan of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, reported they had a study that demonstrated how edible fungus aspergillus, Espergillus orsay. Yeah. Can be bioengineered to enhance its nutritional value and sensory appeal as a meat substitute. Hey, I'd like to order a steak.

I'm sorry. All we have is fungus and cooked. Aspergillus orzy. Man, does that sound good? No, thank you. No, thank you. Apparently, fungi could be the future of our daily. nutritional intake. Not my future, but maybe yours, as they include a huge range of tasty and nutritious

proteins, fats, antioxidants, and flavor molecules. Do they? Do they? Yes, they do, Jeff. According to researchers, they were able to use synthetic biological tools to modify the fungus. All that's great, so we're modifying the fungus and raising the production of key nutrients and flavor molecules. Why would we be doing that, you ask? Well, researchers said that their method brought the substance closer to mirroring the texture of taste and real meat. Again, you ask, why would they be doing that? Well, because people want to eat meat. They don't want.

Aspergillus ors they. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Happy Vernal Equinox Day. the first day of spring. Today is the day. If you're listening live, it is Tuesday, March 19th, 2024. Now, the exact time that we launch into the Vernal Equinox spring is 11.06 p.m.

Eastern time. I'm sorry, Eastern Daylight Time. So it's important. Have fun. Enjoy and enjoy your Vernal Equinox Day party. that should begin at 11.06 p.m. Eastern daylight time. I know what you're thinking. Hey, I thought March 1st was the beginning of spring.

Well, that's what the meteorologists say. But what do they know? Yeah, they don't even know if it's going to rain today. No. Today is the day when the sun, I'm sorry, the sun's rays shine directly on the equator. Then we have the autumnal equinox in September when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness almost everywhere on the planet.

So, happy spring. Okay, I thought this, speaking of, hey, happy spring, I thought this only happened in Europe. In Europe, but it is happening here in the United States as well. eighth grade students in Southwick, Massachusetts, have been criminally charged for their involvement in an alleged hateful and racist Snapchat group. Uh, no. According to a Hamden district attorney Anthony Giuliani, G-U-L-L-L-U-N-I, The group chat in question featured appalling language and behavior, including a mock slave auction and derogatory remarks aimed at people of color.

So? Sorry. I know you don't like it, but tough. The existence of the group chat and the comments made were first reported to the school authorities at Southwick Regional School upon learning about the group chat. they notified Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit to launch an investigation. Subsequently, he authorized the Detective Unit and the Chief of the Juvenile Court Unit to pursue criminal charges against the involved students. No, thank you. The charges levied against the children include threats to commit a crime. They never committed one, with two of them facing additional charges for interference with civil rights. One additional child is facing a witness-interested.

Interference charge. Okay. Come on. Hatred and racism have no place in this community. I don't disagree with that. And where this behavior becomes criminal. Yeah, I'd like to know when that was. I will ensure that we act and act with swift resolve.

As we did here. Yeah, where was the crime there, Mr. Police Detective? I'd like to know where the crime was. They were talking amongst themselves in a snap. chat group chat room. I mean, I get it. You don't like what they were talking about. There's no question that the alleged behavior of these six juveniles is vile, cruel, and contemptible. Okay. And that's not breaking the law. In response to this incident, several of the students were promptly suspended from Southwest Regional School. Two more students were suspended for 25 days

in another for 45 days. I guess maybe the school can suspend them. I may be okay with that, but not to have the law involved in a Snapchat chat room. No thank you.

This is ridiculous. I mean, we are in deep trouble. If you can't say what you want to say in a text, in a group chat, it's just incredible. I hope this does not stand because there's no crime here.

I'm sorry. No. I don't care what they did. I got it. You don't like what they said. And you believe that it's vile, cruel, and contemptible. I got it. But that's not a legal crime.

Sorry. You know, if there is such a thing as a legal crime, most crimes are illegal, but, you know, whatever. Speaking of a legal crime, I failed to congratulate Vladimir Putin as he was be elected as the president of Russia. And so congratulations to Vladimir for being being elected by the people as president of Russia again. Now, I thought that I thought we kind of predicted that it would be over 90%. It wasn't.

So maybe there's a little strife going on in Russia because I think he only won by like 88%. Now, I don't know what happened to the 12% that votes. against him, I'm guessing 10% are now dead. That's not funny, Jeff. I know. I'm sorry. But congratulations to Vladimir Putin for being reelected as president of Russia. He's already talking about World War III in his victory speech.

He was pissed at NATO. And he's saying, that could lead to full-scale third World War. Yeah, you know, it could. But right now, NATO is, you know, not doing that. although you could make the case that maybe they are. And I see where the European Parliament, man, this is going to be tough. I hope he won't be able to say no to this. The European Parliament has adopted a non-binding resolution.

Oh, yeah, because there's no such thing as a binding resolution from the European Parliament to Russia, that they should return the gold that they took from Romania during World War I. Yeah, that's going to happen. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister.

This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for ever? Everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting.

Winners, find fabulous for less. As you know, I am not a huge fan of PETA, the people for ethical treatment of animals. Sometimes I believe they are agonizing overall. And I have a human's first attitude that they do not. They oppose speciesism, which is a human supremacist worldview. Yeah, that's what I have. I have a human supremacist worldview, okay? Humans first.

PETA disagrees with that. However, this story, I think I agree with him. I know, I know. But just let's do the story and we'll try to work it out together. Okay. So they have asked the White House to change its Easter egg roll into an Easter potato roll. And a letter to First Lady Jill Biden, Peter President Ingrid Newkirk, who I am sure is a fan of me, floated the idea suggesting the switch from eggs to spuds.

So instead of promoting the factory farming and slaughter industries, they want to initiate the White House potato roll. She said potatoes can be safely dyed, allowing for sputacular traditional activities, rolling them, seeking for them, and decorating them. You can even hold a potato sack races in games of hot potato. I kind of like it. I kind of like it. So Easter is not a time of renewal or joy for chickens on egg factory farms. See, that's where you lose me because I don't care about the chickens on the egg factory farms.

I want them to continue to make eggs. Okay, I want them to continue to make eggs. So according to this story, can take up to 36 hours in a typically hellish conditions for a hand who spends her entire life in a cage smaller than a letter-sized sheet of paper to produce just one of the thousands of eggs slated to be used at the White House Easter egg roll. Okay, so I just, I don't know why I think it's a good idea. I just, why use eggs? If you could use potatoes, um, eggs are getting really expensive, although so is everything in the potatoes. I don't know what the cost differential is.

But I feel like, you know, if you want to use potatoes, I'm okay with that. I'm okay. I disagree with why, but I'm okay with using the potatoes instead of the eggs. That event is going to happen on April 1st. So why not use potatoes instead of eggs since it will be April Fool's Day? Why doesn't that surprise me? So PETA has also floated the ideas of wooden eggs or, you know, painted rocks. That's what we want.

Painted rocks so the kids could just rifle. rocks of people or egg-shaped balls. You can write your own jokes. In the letter last year, she claimed that such a move would make the event, extra special for chickens, get it? And inclusive of all children who attend. It's still inclusive to all children who attend. Oh, what about the ones that don't consume eggs for ethical, environmental, or health

reasons? There's not a kid on the planet. I'm sorry. That's going to do an egg roll. I can't do that for ethical reasons. Really? Okay. Yeah, my mom and dad said so.

Okay. All right. Thank you. Go ahead, Billy. Get out of here. But I think I'm okay with the potato roll. It's not a bad idea. Why not?

And it'd be fun. And, you know, you don't have to break eggs and you can color them and be kind of funny. But it's not, again, I'm agreeing with the idea just because I think it's not a bad idea. Sure, go ahead, use potatoes. and you can cook them up and fry them up better than eggs after the event. So you round up your basket of potatoes, you take them over to the cook, and I slice them up and cook up those potatoes so you can eat. I'm a fan of that.

Not for Peter reasons, but I think we can go ahead and do it. Be sure to follow me on X at Jeffie JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio.

the border. And it's fascinating. You know, the estimate, according to the experts, that 5.5 million people have illegally crossed into the U.S. in the last 36 months.

That's funny. That's funny because even that is an all-time high and I believe that that number is way low okay but so we'll check it out Texas versus the feds

You're welcome. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So, as we talked about earlier, we know that the Vernal Equinox, it's officially spring at 11.06 p.m. Eastern today, Tuesday, March 19th, for those of you listening live, what better way to celebrate the Overnal Equidox than winning the Mega Millions lottery drawing.

Would that be awesome? It would be for me. $875 million jackpot, $413.5 million cash payout for the drawing. It's already the... One, two, three, four, five... Sixth largest mega millions drawing.

The other five... are over a billion. So I will be happy with only the $875 million jackpot. That would be a big home spring to me. It would be a beautiful springtime, beautiful day, wouldn't it? Now, that ain't been said, if I missed the mega, you know, a good way to celebrate the first day of spring would be to win the Powerball,

which is that drawing is on Wednesday. $687 million jackpot, $327.3 million cash payout. So either way, I'm willing to celebrate spring in the best way I know how, winning a lot of jackpot. I see where Kung Fu Panda was still number one at the box office this past weekend. It has at 30 million domestically. It's 176 million global now and 107.7 million total in the U.S. That's what two weeks on the charts. Dune hanging in there at number two with another 29.1 million domestically.

That has hit $494.7 million worldwide. So it's doing pretty well. Then there was Arthur the King and imaginary Cabrini coming in at number five. That is getting great reviews. Everybody loves it. but it only made two, almost three million. So it's only made 13 million domestically. Interesting.

Bob Marley's still hanging in there. And number seven, one love. I've got to see that. I'm looking forward to seeing that. And then I see number nine, which I had not heard of, called the American Society of Magical Negroes. Now, that was its first week. This past weekend, it made $1.25 million.

Not that good. I had not seen the trailer. I haven't looked at the trailer, but I went to IMD-B and I looked up the American Society of Magical Negroes. And it's a movie, but a young man, Aaron, A-R-E-N, is recruited into a secret society of magical black people who dedicate their lives to a cause of utmost importance, making white people's lives easier. I don't know. Is it wrong of me to say I could be a fan of this magical society? And also, where have they been? Because I'd like to, I need a little help from any magical secret society I can get.

I see where Amazon is partnering up with Mr. Beast. I feel like we talked about this when they first started talking with each other. But now they're looking to partner with Mr. Beast, a.k.a. Jimmy Donaldson. He just inked a deal with Amazon MGM Studios to host and executive produce Beast Games for

Prime Video. Wow. He hosted a real-life squid game contest in 2021, got 58 million YouTube views. So I'm guessing Amazon figures he's qualified for the job. There's no release date yet

for Beast games. But according to reports it's going to pit a thousand people against each other for a five million dollar grand prize which is the largest in history of television and streaming per amazon so it's kind of a squid gameish thing this was just a precursor to that thousand people against each other for a five million dollar grand prize so it should be fun uh you know we'll see uh look mr beast is the man now right i mean he's got uh he has uh he has uh he has uh monetized videos, branded merchandise, snacks, grossed 82 million from June 22 to June

2023. That's a good year. I don't know. Might not be for you, but for me, $82 million in that time period. That's a good year. And so congratulations to Mr. Beast and his deal with Amazon Prime video. no word on what the payment was to Mr. Beast. I'm sure it was a couple of bucks.

Oh, and hey, happy birthday to Bruce Willis. Bruce turns 69 today. According to all the headlines, he is expected to spend the day with family and friends and mostly just the family, his daughters, and ex-Demmy will be there. They love throwing that in there. Of course, he's been living,

they have all been living together. The new wife, the new kids, the old kids, They've all been together. Bruce is struggling. He's been the guy. He's taking care of all of them. So it's their turn to take care of him. So happy birthday to Bruce.

Very sad. I know. His diagnosis with the frontotemporal dementia has really put a damper. Let's put a damper on his life for sure. And a damper on the rest of him. No kidding. I did see, and I believe that I'm right on this. Okay. So the other day, I see a story about his daughter, Tallulah Willis, who revealed that she has autism.

And she revealed that, you know, she learned this recently. And she shared the news on Instagram along with a throwback video of her and her dad. And she was, you know, rubbing her dad's bald head. and, you know, her sister commented saying that the actress was stimming, that's defined as a repetitive performance of a certain physical movement, and I thought to myself, wow, so she's getting tired of having all the news be about Dad. And then I realized that today I see that it's his birthday, and I thought, there you go. She knew that the old birthday was coming up, and all the news would be about Dad.

So she had to get out there with some news because don't forget a while ago, she talked about how she had recovery from her eating disorder and how she struggled with anorexia. And look, she may be struggling. I get it. And, you know, she's having a tough time. They all are having a tough time. But the world is revolved around Bruce and Mom, Demi, and not you, Tallulah. But you keep trying.

You keep trying. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won!

Well, no one of any real prominence. So if someone that you know or love has passed away, rest in peace to them. But no one of any real prominence that I know of. I do know that Dr. Dre said he had three strokes after a brain aneurysm in 2021. He was on a podcast, well, he was on Sirius X-M's The Life of Mine with James Gordon, which I am. I mean, he's getting Dr. Dre. I'm sure it's great.

Anyway, he's just saying that he was in the hospital in 2021 and had three strokes. He said, I went to the hospital after I woke up feeling behind the right ear turned into the worst pain I had. I got up and went about my day. I thought I could just lay down and take a nap. My son had a female friend that was there. Oh, yeah. The son was taking care of a little business. And the business friend said,

Now we need to take your dad out of the hospital. We can't let anything happen to him. He's the guy that's paying for all of this. So they took him to urgent care. That's my quote, not hers. The next thing, you know, I'm blacking out. I'm in and out of consciousness. I ended up in the ICU.

I was there for two weeks. I'm hearing the doctors coming in and saying, you don't know how lucky you are. The music mogul said he received treatment. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, thank the medical team providing excellent care in a statement in 2021. He asked the doctors what he could have done to prevent the aneurysm. Nobody could give me an answer.

Huh, I'm sure if it would have been that, they would have said something, right? Of course they would have. Of course they would have. They would have said something. That's just silly. He said that, hey, it makes you appreciate it. being alive well yeah that is for sure but uh interesting interesting how they're saying well high blood pressure and black man yeah they call it the silent killer yeah those uh that's heart attacks

uh that's not necessarily strokes but okay whatever you got it uh you got it couldn't have been that because uh they would have said that then i see where darrell strawberry uh you know darrell he's the man i mean i love darrell he announced that he had a big heart attack he's recovering from our heart attack. He lives outside of St. Louis in St. Peter's, Missouri. And he said he began, feeling chest pain. I know the feeling. And then his wife called an ambulance. I know the feeling. And he said he was already in the ambulance when he suffered the heart attack. I know the feeling. And he received a life-saving angioplasty. Again, I know the feeling. So Daryl is okay. Although Daryl says he has to have a monitor now that he has to wear. So Dr.

can keep up with me. Okay. I don't have a monitor. I don't know if that's good or bad for me and or Daryl. Anyway, he underwent colon cancer surgery back in 98 when he was playing for the Yankees. I mean, you know, Daryl had an amazing career. He's not in the Hall of Fame. He's done, he did all kinds of drugs.

There were some books out that showed Daryl doing a massive amounts of drugs. Good for him. You know what? If you can afford it and have fun. That, I guess, hurt his career. But he won the World Series three times, once with the Mets, twice with the Yankees, and the Mets are going to honor Strawberry's career by retiring number 18 on June 1st. That's pretty incredible, that we're retiring Daryl Strawberry's iconic number as, you know,

his part of the 1986 championship team of the Mets. Congratulations to Daryl. He lived down in Tampa Bay for a while. and that was a few run-ins with a few people down in Tampa. But anyway, I'm a fan. And good for Daryl that he's doing better after the heart attack at the age of 62. And that's just your everyday heart attack. Well, that definitely didn't have anything to do with that.

So don't even think about that. And then I see a headline that has the... It just made me laugh out loud. It actually made me laugh out loud. Why are so many people getting cancer? I don't know. I wonder why. So the rate of early onset cancers in people under 50 years old is expected to rise by a third over the next decade.

I wonder why that could be. I'm sure it's dietary changes. I'm sure. I'm sure it's climate change. You know, I'm sure it's exercise. lack of exercise. I'm sure it's obesity. It most definitely isn't that.

They can't figure out. They're not quite sure why. They're trying to figure out, in fact, why those numbers and cancers are increasing. Huh, I just, I can't figure it out either. But it certainly wouldn't be that because if it was that, they would have said it. Right?

Right. And I guess really we could say who died today as the American worker. The other day we saw the story that made the rounds about Tyson Foods, wants to hire 42,000 migrants to work in the United States. And this comes after they're already announced that they're laying off 1,200 employees after shutting a facility, shutting down a facility in Iowa. And so, yeah, you know, we'd like to, we want to hire some migrants. And then according to that story, they were talking about.

talking about the tent partnership for refugees. And it makes one think, well, I bet they're not the only company. Yeah, there's a list of at least 400 other companies. Now, it doesn't mean that they are participating. I guess they're just putting themselves on the list for this tent partnership for refugees. And I mean, the top of the list is Amazon Tyson, of course, Blackstone, Pepsi, Pfizer, Delta. Chabani, Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Kraft Heinz, Hilton, Marriott International, Cargo, Gate Group, ISS, Hyatt, IBM, the Big Table Group, Unilever. Oh, wait, Unilever, Unilever. What is Unilever?

Well, they're on the tent program. I just saw a story about Unilever today. Oh, that's right. They're cutting 7,500 jobs under a cost-saving plan, and they're going to spin off their ice cream business. Huh, that is weird that they're part of this tent partnership to hire refugees. Isn't it though? A visa manpower group and the list goes on and on. So maybe the American worker did die today. It certainly is being rushed to the hospital. Just amazing.

But hey, don't worry about it because President Biden's got new shoes. He's got some new shoes that are. apparently the hokas that are meant for hiking, walking, and, you know, lifestyle shoes. They're designed for easy on and off. The shoes go between $150 and $200 a pair. It also advertises neutral stability for wearers who want a symmetrical bed of cushion. So Joe is wearing his new hokas so that he doesn't trip and fall. We hope that that, you know, doesn't have.

happen, but don't worry about it because the tent program is going strong. We're getting rid of American workers for the refugees. We're trying to have Americans rent their product, sell their product to refugees at a lower price. And it's a good time in America. But the good news is that President Biden has got his new pair of Hokka's on so that he doesn't trip and fall when he's walking. I will say that this weekend he was in Saginaw, Michigan, and it brought back just a ton of memories. I mean, I was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan. And if you look at Saginaw is right here.

You look at my hand here is where Saginaw is Tri-Cities. Saginaw, Bay City, Midland. Anyway, he was in Saginaw and he was at the home, and I guess it's their home. Saginaw City Councilman Bill Osh-Tosh and Saganos, Saginaw School Board member Kevin Roker. I guess it's their home. But they said that it was in this district.

I had never heard it in the Cathedral District of Saginaw. I guess that's, you know, historic district now in Saginaw. It's the East Side. I worked on the East Side for quite a while. That's, you know, most of the, for years, the East Side was predominantly African. American and the west side was predominantly white Anglo-Saxon. But whatever, the houses are trying to fix them up and those old houses, some of them are beautiful, been there forever.

And, you know, they obviously fix them up and good for Joe Biden. Anyway, I went down memory lane as the president walked around my hometown in Saginaw. He was lost multiple times. I could have pointed out, no, Joe, this way, but I wasn't invited for the for the campaign event. So he was just without me. Wandering around in his new shoes.

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 we've talked about how now may not be a good time to visit Haiti.

I don't even know. if they'd let you in, actually. But we are at least getting some of our U.S. citizens out of Haiti. Earlier this week, we flew the first flight carrying dozens of U.S. citizens fleeing Haiti. I mean, they're in big trouble down there. Right now, 80% of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, is ruled by gangs, and I would probably say that is not true. I would say that 100% of Haiti is ruled.

ruled by gangs because they talk about how authorities in Haiti have put a curfew in place and declared a state of emergency what authority uh the gangs are running the joint okay uh the head guy quit he left okay prime minister have a nice day he's out i guess there's there's still some sort of law and order that's trying to you know keep the gang violence from escalating any more than it already is. But good luck. I mean, that place, it's going to take a lot more than, no, please, guys, stop. I mean, we have, we have the governor of Ron DeSantis has, yeah, well, he's deployed law enforcement off the coast of Florida. Good. We don't need those refugees coming in. We have enough refugees coming in across the other borders. The U.S. Coast Guard is sending back the

Haitians fleeing, fleeting by sea. Good. Haitian Americans fearful for relatives stuck in Haiti. Yeah, they should have gotten them out when you had the chance. And they talked to the UN has warned, well, the UN has got a report now that a couple of things. One from Haiti that says four million people in Haiti face acute food insecurity. Oh, wow, what a bummer. They shouldn't be doing this. And look, the Dominican Republic, you know, I don't know if you know how it works,

but Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island, right? The Dominican is building a wall. The Dominican Republic is building a wall to stop the Haitians from coming to the Dominican Republic. So that might should tell you something. I don't know what it should tell you, but it should tell you something. And I know the situation is deteriorating even faster than many people thought it would. And they're running out of time. But good luck.

I know that, you know, we are in talks for a, for a lot. transitional council uh-huh that'll work okay that'll work let's get that transitional council in there shall we uh they just released like 4,000 prisoners roaming in Haiti trying to come to the united states i'll bet trying to go to the dominican republic i'll bet uh so you know we need to do something that is for sure what that is i don't necessarily know that i have the answer to that but If we can come up with a transitional council that will take care of Haiti in the interim, okay. The less to do with the United States, the better.

Okay. And I saw two stories with the UN today. One was the, you know, on Haiti and the four million people facing acute food insecurity. And I don't wish that in anyone, but times are tough. And look, that's tough times there. but they also released a report where they said that famine is eminent in northern Gaza as the Israel Hamas war continues. Oh, well, maybe they shouldn't have attacked Israel. Again, that's just me, though.

That's just me. Maybe they shouldn't have attacked Israel. Oh, and we've seen the reports, and if you haven't, there are reports out there where the Palestinians are complaining about the food that they're being given. Um, so you start a war and now you're complaining well they're not complaining but the UN is that famine is imminent

and you're going to complain about the food that you get? I don't think so. Now back to Haiti. Look, that place has been a nightmare for quite some time. They've been taking people hostage and holding them for ransom for months the United Nations who

I realize I don't really cares too much about the United Nations, but they've been calling for a military intervention in the country. Yes, since they wanted us to do it, that's what we're calling for, but we, you need to do it. Well, now, they're going to get help from Kenya, okay? Kenya has responded this weekend saying, hey, you know what? We'll positively consider leading a multinational force to Haiti with a thousand strong contingent of Kenyan police.

So how about that? Huh? And the Bahamas said they offered 150 people to the force. So it's looking, it's going to turn around in Haiti anytime. It's going to turn around anytime. And look, I don't want it to continue to be bad. I don't have an answer. I guess we do need to send in some sort of international force and help.

Okay. I mean, I just don't want it to be us. I just don't want it to be us, and it very well, maybe. You know, along with the Kenyon police. All right, all right, let's get out of here. I kind of went to tired. I'm sorry, I can leave you the joke of the day today, all right? Joke of the day.

Son's wedding. This is not funny. All right, this joke, I'm going to tell you this joke, but I just know that I didn't write it, and it's not funny because it's not the way it should be, okay? A dad texts his son before his wedding. to my dear son, today is the day you will cherish for all your days of your life. My best love and good wishes, Dad.

His son texts back, thanks, Dad, but the wedding isn't until tomorrow. His dad replies, I know. You see what I mean, that's just... You know what I mean, that's just... Oh, you know what he was saying. Dream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
