Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Whoopi Goldberg. You know or you love her. Yes, that Whoopi Goldberg. Egot winner.
Starting point is 00:00:43 According to this story, a trailblazer in entertainment. And, you know, I do enjoy some of her acting work. But apparently, Whoopi has written several children's stories, as well as a few nonfiction books. I don't know that I was aware of that. So, I mean, I was looking at the Whoopi Goldberg book collection. Two old broads. Is it just me or is it nuts? Her book Sugar Plum Ballerinas.
Starting point is 00:01:19 The unqualified hostess. I do it my way so you can too by Whoopi Goldberg. Well, now. And she's the EGOT winner. I said, amazing. She took a Tomi Award for Best Musical for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Starting point is 00:01:38 She won an Emmy for Beyond Terra, the extraordinary life of Haddy McDaniel, and of course won an Emmy for The Coven, as Pat Gray calls it, I'm sorry, The View. And then she's also won a Grammy for her comedy album,
Starting point is 00:01:53 Whoopi Goldberg, and she won an Oscar for Ghost. So she is an Egot winner. Well, now, she's also a comic book author and when you think what kind of comic book would Whoopi Goldberg right well the book is titled I'm sorry the comic book is titled the change and it features a woman going through menopause that's gonna be great a superhero that can't sleep it's sweaty already for business a little bivor Polar, night sweats. Maybe that's the title of, you know, the first episode.
Starting point is 00:02:40 The change, night sweats. But it will be something to kind of look forward to, but you're not going to be able to read it until the end of November of this year. It is not going to be available until November 28th. I know, I know, dry your eyes. Just put it on your calendar. November 28th, 2023, the change. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. The Department of Justice has determined that Walmart must distribute $4 million to customers affected in a fraud scheme. Huh, there was a fraud scheme.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I think I was involved in it if they're going to be distributing $4 million. So apparently it was a Walmart gift card scam. So the gift card scams began in 2015 when scammers instructed victims to purchase Walmart gift cards, ranging from $500 to $1,000. Between 2016 and 2017, Walmart froze balances on gift cards suspected of being part of the fraudulent scheme. Subsequently, the Department of Justice sought this frozen money so it could reimburse customers. So they filed a lawsuit for the forfeiture of the $3,958,0.60. and 84 cents in gift card balances frozen by Walmart.
Starting point is 00:04:18 This money is now available for compensation payments. All you have to do is be a person who purchased a Walmart gift card between April 1, 2016, and July 31, 2017. You may receive a referral payment based on the amount loaded onto your, your Walmart gift card that you purchased. Payments will be reduced if consumers already received payments from a bank or other source. It is worth mentioning that the
Starting point is 00:04:45 compensation will not cover the collateral expenses related to the scheme. Yeah, if you were charged any extra money, sorry about it. So if you purchased the Walmart gift card between April 1st, 2016 and July 31, 2017, as a result of a fraudulent scheme in which scammers directed victims to buy gift cards, they must, you've got to submit a claim
Starting point is 00:05:05 for the funds. Oh, that's nice. And you've got to do this before June 29th of this year. And there's a form that you can fill out. And you must claim on the documentation proving the purchase of the gift cards. And you have to show that you actually purchased the card. I mean, on the request form. And I love it in this story, it says, individuals who do not qualify for compensation should not file a claim. Thank you. What happens to the extra money that's not distributed? Does Walmart keep that?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Does it go to the other gift card holders? What happens? Or does just whatever is left over? That goes back to Walmart. So if you're not getting any Walmart money, maybe you think about, I don't know about moving to California, but maybe you go there,
Starting point is 00:06:04 because apparently we are going to be in the middle of Gold Rush 2.0. Yeah, the new Gold Rush is on. After the unusually wet winter, Californians are bracing not only for flooded fields and raging rapids, but also experts are dubbing this, the Gold Rush 2.0. It's one of those 100-year events, according to Mark Dayton, the Sacramento Valley Metal Detector expert. I love Mark Dayton. With one atmospheric river after another this past winter, snowpack
Starting point is 00:06:42 on the Golden State's mountain peaks piled up to unprecedented heights. But as the snow gushes down the hillside, the fast and furious flow of shuddling other materials along with it. When it melts, it comes rushing down at crazy speeds. And that's when you get gold. The waterfall from about 5,000 to 3,500 feet at which point it begins you know begins going down into the foothills and into the creeks and streams so they're ripping material
Starting point is 00:07:12 right off the walls of the creeks and that is gold my friends them there is gold in them there hills so if you're going to be out there you know prospected you should expect to find several different pockets of gold in relatively shallow waters as the snow felt as the snow melt washes uh washes all the material into the waterway the heavier pieces
Starting point is 00:07:39 will stay up at higher altitudes but most of the small stuff that we typically find year to year as gold prospectors is going to make its way not only down to where we typically look for it in the two to 35 thousand foot range but also way down literally to sacramento valley so if you're looking to make some money. Head out to California and be a part of the Gold Rush 2.0. That would be, I don't know, not fun. I don't know if you've ever been prospecting for gold, but what a pain. What a pain. Now, you know, you see the guys, I see the television show where the guy is digging for gold and he's got, you know, machines in there digging through. But what we're talking about here is getting your little sifter and going out there into the little waterways
Starting point is 00:08:35 and sifting for gold like they were like we've seen for a year on television shows talking about the California Gold Rush. So if you want to do that, good luck. God bless. I feel like it's going to be kind of like going to the Diamond State Park in Arkansas where, you know, people show up with, I found a diamond. And it's this big. and I've been out there and I have found nothing but dirt. Okay. And I know that they claim that people find diamonds in them there, dirt, but I think not.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I think that they're placed there. I think it's being seated so that ever so often you get somebody to come up with, I found one, I found one. And it gets more people to come out and rent all the stuff and stay at the Diamond State Park in Arkansas. and have your weekend there and be out there on the dirt and the heat with your kids looking for diamonds and sifting through dirt and good luck so just as with looking for those golden nuggets in california and the diamonds in arkansas good luck i mean i guess there's
Starting point is 00:09:52 treasure out there but i feel like all the treasure has been found uh you know remember we had the story where they were looking for the Nazi gold from World War II and they found a map and it was supposed to be in this Dutch village. It was supposed to be 50 miles southeast of Amsterdam and they had the magnameter
Starting point is 00:10:12 along with the row and they had the fruit trees and we saw the map of where it was and we were going to dig up the boxes of Nazi gold and you know what they dug up? A bullet. And yeah, some scrap metal too.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Oh, and a crumpled car wheel. Oh, and some muddy boots, but no gold. So it must have been, I feel like I was part of that team. As the archaeologists were digging up and looking for the Nazi gold, and they came away with a bullet and some scrap metal and a crumpled car wheel and muddy boots. What happened to the gold? Well, that's what you get. So, all right, let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I need something cold to drink desperately. So I was looking at the headlines surrounding the strike, the writer's strike, and still ongoing. I don't know when the deal will be reached, but the headlines are how a WGA hit squad is shutting down Hollywood one shoot at a time. The writers are organized. They've been thousands of writers picketing out. the traditional Hollywood studios
Starting point is 00:11:36 from Disney, NBC Universal Paramount Sonia and Warner Brothers, as well as the tech startups, Netflix, and Amazon. But there's a more low-key operation in place as well. Yeah. They've got people out there targeting
Starting point is 00:11:51 specific locations across L.A. that are being used for filming and they are shutting them down. Oh no. So studios are now going to suspend some first look and overall deals amid the writing strike.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Amazon, HBO, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, Disney, CBS Studios, all the other major networks struck studios. We're going to suspend first look and overall deals amid the strike. Now, the first look deal
Starting point is 00:12:23 covers feature films and other intellectual properties. The content creator generally retains the copyright to the material that they created. Other studios can pick up refuse material. If you get an overall deal, that is for series,
Starting point is 00:12:39 content, television, studio, the rights to everything created within the contract terms, no other studio can pick up the refuse material, but they're going to stop doing all of that. I know shows are already declaring, hey, not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Don't plan on season five of Stranger Things, the final season. We've got Yellowstone. What's going to happen with Yellowstone? I know it's the final season. A lot of the studios are standing tough. I mean, AMC networks say we're well positioned for the strike, and we have no real concerns.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Oh, okay. I know that Fox thinks they're in a great position because they focus on sports news and on scripted shows. So we shall see. I just want the writers to get what they deserve, and let's get these shows back up and running. Shall we? I mean, we got the end of rabbit hole now.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I just finished that on Paramount Plus. I have Succession is almost done. I think what we've got? Two or three episodes left in Succession. It's been pretty good. It's actually kind of gotten better. That's my review of Succession so far this season. Started off Strong and fell by the wayside, but it's kind of gotten better.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I mean, I really am enjoying fatal attenance. traction on Paramount Plus, but these are shows that are already done. So now you're going to have me have to go watch Picard, the final season, which I got bored with in the other seasons. And I mean, we're not going to get new Yellowstone episodes from 1923 or 1883 or Bass Reeves or even just the final season of Yellowstone, let alone on Paramount Plus criminal minds. What is there?
Starting point is 00:14:29 What is it? Criminal Minds Evolution, which, you know, I, you know, I, I, you know, I. enjoyed that season on Paramount Plus a lot. I hope that some of these shows had a lot of scripts in the can. That would be nice. That would be nice. And be ready for shows like Law and Order and up to date, you know, up to new shows that have new episodes of crime and stuff where we have,
Starting point is 00:14:54 they could still be involved with the writer's strike and someone is guilty of burning scripts in the can so that they don't. have new shows to produce. Stuff like that will be all over these crime shows. I see where Mr. Twitter, Elon Musk, is saying that he is going to start purging old accounts, freeing up
Starting point is 00:15:15 desired usernames. Interesting. So you can follow me on Twitter right now at Jeffey JFR. Hopefully the old account that isn't using anybody hasn't tweeted in a while at Jeffie will be available
Starting point is 00:15:31 and I will just take that account. it's purging its inactive accounts on its platform and he's saying that it's going to free up a number of long coveted usernames interesting we'll see I don't know how he's going to put those back into rotation is he going to sell them is he going to say you know hey this is a name you can have for so much money that wouldn't surprise me
Starting point is 00:15:55 but at least if apparently if you have not logged down every 30 days then that let's see Twitter's users should log in at least every 30 days to keep accounts
Starting point is 00:16:09 from being permanently removed okay so if you were purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years so you will probably see follow account
Starting point is 00:16:20 drop I guess I'm gonna I've got a couple extra accounts that I have on the side I may have to make sure I log in and tweet something
Starting point is 00:16:27 from those accounts so they don't get purged so hopefully at jeffy will be available I've wanted that for a while that guy blocked me a long time ago he does not like me he wouldn't talk to me
Starting point is 00:16:42 he would try to work out some kind of deal with him no at jeffy so I can't see what he's tweeting or anything from my main account because he has me blocked because I may have mentioned I may have had some followers of at Jeffie JFR, reach out to him to let me know I wanted just at Jeffie.
Starting point is 00:17:04 That's all I wanted. At J-E-F-F-F-Y. And he wouldn't talk to me, and he was pissed that I had everybody messaging him. So he blocked me, and he'll block you if you reach out to him and say, hey, why don't you give Jeffrey your account? Because you don't tweet anything anyway, dufous out there in the Northwest, hugging your trees. Give it to Jeffie, but he won't.
Starting point is 00:17:32 It's okay, whatever. So be ready for that. If you lose some followers on Twitter, it's probably because some old accounts are still following you, and those are going to be purged. I see where, speaking of social media, guys, I see where Mr. Mark Zuckerberg competed in his first jujitsu tournament and won gold and silver medals.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Oh, good for Mark. He posted on Instagram that he won, and good for him. You can see him flex his muscles there as he wins his little jujitsu tournament. Oh, good for Mark. It's guerrilla jiu-jitsu, which is a training company based in Santa Jose, California. And they offer a beginner and advanced training to anyone from children as young as three to adults. And, you know, Mark, I guess, has a couple of kids. I didn't realize that he had a big family,
Starting point is 00:18:26 but I guess he has, apparently he was posing with some of the competitors. It said on the story that he and his children, he lives in the Bay Area with his wife and three children. I didn't know Mark had three kids. Anyway, good for them. Just getting by on that man of paycheck. I saw, you know, everybody was. look, you had the coronation this past weekend.
Starting point is 00:18:55 You had the Kentucky Derby. You had Warren Buffett's gathering in Omaha for Berkshire Hathaway. And you had the race down in Miami, the F-1 Miami race that went on. So who's who, those were the places where all of the who's who were. In fact, I saw Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City chief. who did the opening at the Kentucky Derby was also down in Miami for the F-1 race as well.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I saw, you know, we saw Tom Cruise was down at the F-1 race and he did a little bit for the coronation for the king. He did go, but he did do a little video thing for the king. But I see where there's pictures and I think Elon was down there and Brady
Starting point is 00:19:47 was down there. So the who's who were around the country today, either at, in Omaha, and who doesn't want to be in Omaha this time of year with Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway event or the Kentucky Derby or the Coronation or the F1 race down in Miami. And Jeff Bezos was there with the girlfriend. I don't know that they're married Sanchez. She's the one that helped break up the marriage being his helicopter pilot. But, oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Did I say that out loud? And so he's still with her. And Jeff's looking good. He's working out. Still looking good. And so is she. Now, Lauren apparently has had a little work done. And we've talked about this before.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Now, she's had a little work done. It looks like maybe, you know, I don't know that she's on her way to clown face, but she definitely keeps the face touched up along with the lips. She likes those lips, the lip jobs. And she most definitely has had a boob job. Those big old boys are sporting. And she was sporting them outright in Miami this weekend. She had those, she was front and center with the Lauren Sanchez breastages.
Starting point is 00:21:03 And everyone was busy paying attention. And I did see some funny posts about the difference between Jeff Bezos and Elon Mosque. There was a picture of Jeff Bezos and Elon Mosque. There was a picture of Jeff Bezos and Elon Mos. Musk are both at the Miami GP today. And there's a picture of Elon with a race car driver and Jeff Bezos with Lauren. And the caption is, Bezos is so much better at divorce than Elon. The next one was, I'm really enjoying Bezos's midlife crisis way more.
Starting point is 00:21:41 You got to hand it to Bezos. He owns the super villain billionaire role way better than Elon ever could. and Bezos divorced his wife to get fit and live his best life. So, and there was actually a funny post about them walking as well with a tweet from The Otter. Anyone reckon Jeff's partner might have had a small bit of work done? That's surely not her natural hair color. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:22:16 With MX 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. This has me confused just a tad, so I'm going to read it to you and see if we could figure it out together.
Starting point is 00:22:54 So Tyson Foods posted a $97 million quarterly loss. that's sent its stock down. Yeah, okay. I mean, you post a quarterly loss. It's going to send your stock price down. So they posted a $97 million quarterly loss. The company said it's still facing higher prices for feed and livestock, but can't pass the extra cost to consumers because of waning demand.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Its average sale price dropped 10.3% for pork. and 5.4% for beef last quarter. And so they took a loss. They have higher prices for feed and livestock, but because consumers don't want their product, they can't pass the higher prices along because consumers don't want their product. And the average sale price dropped
Starting point is 00:23:59 for pork 10.3% and beef 5.4%. Huh. So there's waning demand for pork and beef. Is there? Is there? I mean, I guess maybe because the prices are already sky high and they can't raise the prices up any higher knowing that it will hurt demand even more.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I guess that's where we're, we're at, right? So the average sale price dropped, but it's still high. And, okay, so maybe, maybe that does make a little bit of sense. And we'll see. And I see where Italy, or the Italian government, has scheduled a crisis talk that is going to take place this week because of the soaring cost of noodles. We can't have that in Italy. There cannot be a soaring cost. of noodles in Italy. 17.5% the price has increased
Starting point is 00:25:05 year over a year as wheat prices apparently fell. So inflation is high in Italy and they're a little worried. Overall consumer prices rose 8.1% this past month.
Starting point is 00:25:21 So the noodles went up 17.5% year to year. I don't know how much higher they were prior to that. year but they are going to have a crisis talk inside the Italian government because they could not have the soaring cost of noodles take place in Italy well good luck and another company that's struggling is Bud Light I don't know Anaheiser Bush overall is probably fine but Bud Light is definitely hurting they claim according to this we're going to get more Bud Light commercials than
Starting point is 00:25:58 usual. They're going to triple their marketing spending in the U.S. this summer, apparently to try to compensate frontline workers who took a hit from a boycott sparked by the partnership. And according to the story, their brief partnership with Transactor Dylan Mulvaney. And Anheuser-Bush's CEO said it's still too early to have a full view of the boycott's impact on sales. Yeah, well, that view is still holding strong. And the problem is they're Michael, CEO of Anheiser-Busch. The problem is people don't want to have that talk. And no one wants to have the Bud Light talk when they're out drinking or enjoying each other's company.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So maybe you just stop making Bud Light and you turn it into a couple other, you know, light beers from the Anheiser-Busch label. And you just get rid of Bud Light altogether or make it just go away. because that's what's going to happen. Nobody wants to have the talk. I don't drink. And I don't drink or rarely drink anymore. I used to all the time. But if I were to be a drinking man in today's world,
Starting point is 00:27:11 I don't even want to hear from the cashier when I go to the grocery store. Maybe I go through the self-checkout, you know, and scan my Bud Light and just to be thrown in a bag and be left alone if I'm a Bud Light drinker. But I do not want to have that conversation. Oh, Bud Light, huh? I thought they were being boycott. it no well not by me and i just don't want to have the talk or if you're out and about and you order bud light i don't want to hear or are you for dillon or against or are you for the tranny or
Starting point is 00:27:40 not uh yeah i just don't want to have the conversation and plus what are their commercials going to be they tried to overcompensate with the american commercial with uh you know the Clydesdale and we still love america okay uh we know we know but people aren't that dumb uh we got it you were trying to make up. So, I mean, I don't know what kind of ad. I know what kind of ad you need to do, and that's just an ad that shows your beer and says, you know, just says the name of your beer
Starting point is 00:28:11 and with nothing but, you know, the sunset, the beach, whatever, just so that there's no controversy surrounding it. And it's going to take some time before we're able to order Bud Light out and about and not have a conversation. with somebody because nobody wants to have that conversation. I know when are we going to talk about it? When are we going to have the conversation? But we've already had that conversation and I don't want to have it anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I just want to drink my beer. So just leave me alone and let me drink my beer. And if you can't leave me alone and let me drink my beer while I'm drinking a bud light, then I'm going to drink another beer because I want to be left. want to be left alone. I don't necessarily want to boycott Mudlight, but I don't want to have the conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:06 So just leave me alone. And I know the sales are way down, have to be way down by a huge amount. And I know that, you know, that's too early to have a full view. Well, you're going to have a pretty good view.
Starting point is 00:29:21 You might have to have that full view, there, Anheuser-Busch CEO, but you're going to have a pretty good view. And I know you're trying to win back business. I get it. It's just, and I know that, you know, it was a partial campaign with Dylan.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And I didn't think it would be as big a deal as it is personally, but it turned into one. People just didn't want to hear it. And that goes back to that conversation again. We just don't, we're done with it, okay? I don't care if Dylan drinks Bud Light, but don't ram it down our
Starting point is 00:29:55 faces. And because I drink Bud Light doesn't mean I hate her or hate trans people, but it does mean I don't want to have to have it ram down my throat. Please. That's it. Just don't ram it down my throat.
Starting point is 00:30:11 And we don't need big name people drinking Bud Light to make it seem like it's okay to drink Bud Light what we need. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats.
Starting point is 00:30:27 But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice, yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes, because those are groceries, and we deliver those too. Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details.
Starting point is 00:30:48 It is for just bud light to be shown in the light of everyday life, so that it's just backed the usual, like I said. You know, you can show a can of bud light, being poured into a glass, and there's kids, I don't even want kids, somebody's
Starting point is 00:31:11 playing football on TV, so you're going to be advertising during the NFL. I'm sure they have an NFL partnership. I don't know. I just have to have to think about it a little bit for what kind of commercials will work and it will take a while, but it just needs to be
Starting point is 00:31:26 Bud Light and there's no Hi, I'm a macho man and I drink Bud Light. Hi, I am not a macho man and I drink Bud Light. Doesn't need to be any of that. They don't need to be all together in the backyard. You don't need to have every race color and creed drinking Bud Light in the backyard barbecue. What you need is just to show your beer
Starting point is 00:31:49 and your Bud Light can and this is where we're at and we're Bud Light. Here we are. Drink us. That's not the campaign as of yet, but that's my campaign off the top of my head. Hey, we're Bud Light. Drink us.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Probably not going to go over with that campaign. So more than 1,500 lots, including original lyrics and Victorian paintings from Freddie Mercury's London home will be sold in September. by his former girlfriend, Mary Austin. So he left her the house. And she's kept it for the last 20 years.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And now I guess she needs the money. Or she wants to share Freddie with the world. So she's kept it, I mean, for three decades. I said for 20 years. I mean, it's been 30 years, right? Wow, Freddie Mercury. Unbelievable. So anyway, she has now decided to sell the collection.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Nobody knows whether she's going to sell the house, too. But she may. But there's so much stuff. I didn't realize that he was such an art collector. He bought the Garden Lodge in 1980 and its contents. And I know that Sotheby's in London said he used to show up there and buy stuff all the time. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:33:43 The Mercury collection includes handwritten lyrics for Queen songs, original items worn on stage. Really cool. The cloak worn
Starting point is 00:33:53 in the final rendition of God Save the Queen during the last tour with Queen. And then there was there's artwork that he loved. Apparently he was a big
Starting point is 00:34:04 Japanese art fan with glassware and paintings. There's a pecan. in there and his cat vest, you know, it was the silk waist. I'm sorry, not the vest. What am I saying? It was his favorite waistcoat.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Just amazing. It's worth, they're saying maybe the whole thing is six million euros. Got to be more than that, right? The collection is not guaranteed, but they are saying, Wow, low estimate is 6 million euros. Yeah, you think? In this story, he talks about, there's still piles of boxes to go through.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I just opened a box of porcelain, but at the bottom was a beautiful Art Deco Cartier clock. So it's pretty incredible. So the highlights from the sale to New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong in June, before displaying the entire collection in London, the August 4th through September 5th. So six auctions, three live in London, three online, will kick off with an evening auction on September 6th,
Starting point is 00:35:21 which apparently according to Sotheby's, Freddie would have liked, an old school black tie evening event. It's the greatest hits album, each department of Sotheby's is selecting things that they particularly loved. So, I mean, it'd be kind of cool to have something that belonged to Freddie Mercury,
Starting point is 00:35:42 especially some of the paintings that he has. They are beautiful. And, you know, I don't know that I'm not that into the Japanese art as he was, but there's some pretty cool paintings, and it would be kind of cool paintings and drawings to have. That would be pretty cool. The glassware, you know, okay, if it's for a fair price, maybe. But I know he was in Japan.
Starting point is 00:36:08 And a lot toured there a bunch. He bought a lot of art, bought a lot of textiles. He built that used to wear the kimonos on stage. And so those are pretty cool, right? And, you know, a lot of books. And anyway, it'd just be kind of cool to have something that belonged to Freddie Mercury from Queen. And it would also be worth some money. Kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:36:33 And so if you have an opportunity to take a look at what's going on auction, you know, it may behoove you to purchase something from one of the lots at his Kensington home that was in his Kensington Home Garden Lodge. And just I don't feel bad for Mary. She's probably had enough. I kept it for all this time. And you know what? I got to eat.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And it's not, I'm sure, if you were to talk to Mary, she would say, it's not about the money. I've kept it the same. for all these years, and I just want to share it with the public, and I want to be done with it. I'm tired of dusting this house, okay? So get rid of it. I want to go on a cruise.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I don't know that that's actually true, but it's possible. All right, I'm going to give you the joke of the day and get out of here. I'm all stuffed up. I've got this mung inside my head. I don't know why it's there, but it won't leave. And I know I don't like to complain about this kind of stuff because you're suffering from your own problems.
Starting point is 00:37:44 But it is driving me insane. I just have this mung inside of my skull, and it will not leave it. I believe that is the actual medical term mung. That's making me all stuffed up and crazy. So here's a joke of the day. All right for you, and then I'll get out of here. So Winter Haven, Florida couple. both 78 went to a therapist's office and said,
Starting point is 00:38:11 hey, can we have sexual intercourse here in front of you and you could tell us what we're doing wrong? And the doc said, okay, sure, go ahead. And so they had sexual intercourse. When they were done, the doctor said, sir, there's nothing wrong with the way you have sexual intercourse. It's good. And they got up and paid demand $50.
Starting point is 00:38:35 and off they went. So then they came back. This happened for three, four, five, six weeks. Once a week, they showed up, had sex, and paid the man 50. The therapist was like, everything looks fine. Get out of here. So after about six weeks, the doctor was like, okay, I have to know. What are you trying to accomplish with this?
Starting point is 00:38:59 What do you need to know? And the man said, I don't need to know anything. She's married. We can't go to her house. I'm married. We can't go to my house. Holiday Inn is $90. The Hilton is $140. I come here. I pay you $50. And Medicare gives me $40 back.
