An NYU professor makes the case for criticizing people less and complimenting people more. Want to be happy and successful? Don't be an asshole. Welcome to chewing the fat. It's a tough task for a lot of people, though, including, you know, most of this shit. Alcoholics Anonymous is like asshole Anonymous's? Asshole Anonymous's? assholes anonymous

Hi My name is Jeffrey And I am an asshole Yesterday I told one lady F off And he told another old man To get out of the way You're bugging me

You're blocking the aisle Oh man I'm trying to get to the soup Is that what it is? Anonymous No, no, never mind I don't even know what it is anymore Because my Google was downed yesterday

All of it I mean, horrible. Horrible. If you're part of the big family, YouTube, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord, Nest, Google Analytics, all services went down due to a Google cloud outage yesterday. So if you were struggling yesterday, you weren't alone. You weren't alone. Also, we got news in the last few days that we lost another one.

I know. I know. Dry your eyes. another selfie death don't look at me like that I'm not I'm not making fun of the lady who you know

tried to get a selfie at the waterfall at Lake Tahoe Ouch You ain't lying out It's more than outch man Eagle Falls She's just when I'll get closer to the edge here And take a better pick Now let me just move a little bit here

And take a better pick I'll just move with Did she fall in? Can I stand? I don't want to get too far to the edge and see if I can see her or not but the water is cold. They've had a record winter.

Waterfalls and rivers are running at treacherous levels. And the temperature of the water is so cold, it's not survivable for long. And yet, let me get a little bit closer to the edge here and see if I can take a better selfie because I want to get the foam from the waterfall because I can just move just right here and take the perfect... Honey?

I mean, be careful, people. What are you doing? What are you doing? You're falling off ledges. I mean, it's bigger than, ouch. I mean, look. No, I won't say that. I'm sorry that we lost her.

It's horrible. Horrible. So this weekend, I also found out something really cool that I almost, it doesn't make me, well, it kind of makes me want to move to New Jersey. Kind of. I kind of want to move to New Jersey. The Sopranos House, up for sale.

in New Jersey. Only 3.4 million. Is that house worth 3.54 million? Yeah, 5,600 square feet. It was a pretty good size house. And we've seen most of it in the show. He's got the pool.

He's got the pool house out back. It'd be great. It's located in North Caldwell, New Jersey. And you see it, you know, every episode. But what would be cool, you know, if you're going to spend 3.4 million. I mean, as soon as the gates open, you're going to want to hear.

Just wait for the gates to open as you're driving into the driveway, baby. Because don't forget Tony didn't have gates. What is it? Oh, yeah. My bad. Wrong video. Oh, yeah.

Please stop that. Is that the right? Are you adding that or is that in the music? It sounds like it to me. I think it's appropriate. No, don't stop. Just stop everything. No, please.

It sounds great. Oh, yeah. It does. That's sacrilegious. Not to me. I don't, I didn't grow up with the Sopranos. Which is why, all right, just stop. I don't even want to hear it, but now you piss me off.

Oh, did I ruin it? You hurt me. You hurt me deeply. So, which is why when you asked me, hey, is this what you're looking for when I had asked you, hey, I do, I want the Sopranos theme song. and then after you found you went, hey, is this it? And I thought, you don't know the Sopranos theme song? No, I don't know the Sopranos theme song.

I was born in the 90s. I know what? The Sopranos theme song. I don't know the Sopranos theme song. Stop talking. Do you want to hear that again? Stop talking. You want to hear it again?

Oh, yeah. So, oh, yeah. Apparently, the band, I always thought it was A3. The song that we had forever. When the show first started, they set up. out all kinds of, all kind of promotional stuff for the Sopranos. And we, you know, we played the hack out of it. When it was on, talked about it.

It was like, you know, talking Sopranos. It's like, you know, and it was always A3. But really, it was Alabama 3, is their name. The co-writer, the guy, just died a couple weeks ago. Amazing. The Jake Black. Now, if you don't know who Jake Black is, I mean, he's the very Reverend De Wayne Love, the very reverent

De Wayne Love, and Alabama 3. I'm telling you. This might have to be the doorbell, too. Stop putting that in there. Hey, it's great. It works. No, it does not. I want this on the doorbell, and I want this

with the gate opens. You can Bluetooth it into my car, because I'm driving into the driveway. Gate opens. Plus we got the new movie coming out. They're busy filming it right now. The prequel. Tremendous. I'm excited for that.

It's called, what the heck is something about? Something Newark. Oh, no, I got to look it up with it. I can't remember the next stupid sign of the... Oh, the many saints of Newark. That's a prequel to Tony Soprano. And they have Gandalfini's son in real life

playing young Tony Soprano in the prequel. It should be great. She'd be great. I'm looking forward to it. In fact, I want to have that movie open with Alabama 3. Did you just start it from the middle of the song? Look, I can't do everything.

Stop the song. Get off your butt and do it. Stop it. Now go back to the beginning. The movie is not going to start with that song. They're not just going to upcut it in the middle of the song. That's right. Theater.

My bad. Man. Can I at least put one. Oh, yeah, and there. Do it now. Oh, yeah. If that's in the movie, that's in the movie, I'm walking out. That was two, by the way.

That's three. That's not just one. I'm sorry. It works. That's enough of the Supreme. I'm looking forward to it, though. I love that stupid show. I still go back and catch some bad.

There's like three or four episodes that are, that I love that, you know, always on demand on HBO. and so I go back and catch them so good, so good. The end of, I have to go back, I have to actually look at the episodes to tell you which ones it was, but there's a, and I know this is going to come as a surprise to you,

but some characters die in the episodes that I love the best. I know it's a shock. I know. But there's some great death scenes, and I miss the surprise. I miss him. And James Gullivan is dead.

We lost him. I'll know. I know. I know. We lost them. So if you were in Illinois and had the use of a public defender named Kelsey Miller, you can, and you were found guilty? You are free and clear, baby, free and clear.

This lady, Kelsey Miller, wanted to join the Madison County Public Defender's Office in Illinois. she said she was a graduate of Valaparrazo University in a university in Indiana and Southern Illinois University she failed at the bar exam twice Ouch However she didn't tell them that So she practiced Being an attorney

She had 80 cases before they found out 80 cases and somebody said Are you a real? attorney? And she was like, well, yeah, sure. I failed the bar exam twice, but I'm just as good as a regular attorney. According to the public defender's office, look, the cases she worked on will be reassigned and those involved will have to be notified. Uh, yeah? Uh, yeah. Um, they wrote on social She was an assistant public defender, never had any complaints about her job. I mean, she's got pictures of her office, love my job.

And somebody finally went, you know, Kelsey didn't pass the bar exam. No, no, now you're not. Now you're not, my friend. No, you are not. You are free to go. If you had a real attorney, maybe you would have gotten off. So a Catholic school principal has resigned. I know.

You think to yourself, what? did a Catholic school principal resign. Now, in the back of your mind, what would a principal from a Catholic school resigned for? Nope, nope, sorry, no, he didn't do that. I'm sorry, I apologize for making you think that,

but he didn't do that. All right. He went to a strip club. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was a much better Catholic priest than what you were thinking. I know what you're thinking.

I know that. I saw you make the little hand gesture and everything. Don't do it. Don't. Don't. So he's got the class. He's got the school. There's some people on a field trip to Washington, D.C.,

and they're all tucked in 90-night night in their hotel rooms, and he's like, I got to go out. The kids are done. I got to go out. So he hauls off to a strip club, and he's hanging out, having a good time. Now, you know, really. I don't know that he felt bad so he resigned, right? He was charged, he got arrested, charged with public intoxication, possession of an open container of alcohol after he was accused of refusing to pay his bill.

So he got pissed at the strip club, probably because they were charging him too much money or he didn't get what he paid for. And an open container of alcohol, I mean, I'm confused. Don't you, I'm probably in D.C., and I apologize. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I apologize. I don't know all the strip club laws in Washington, D.C. If I lived there, I would.

Now, I'm just saying that, you know, so you probably bring your own booze in. He probably bring your booze in. So he was probably arguing, got thrown out of the place. And now he's got an open container out on the street, so he gets arrested with that. But he's resigned. And, you know, bless his heart.

He's just out to have a little fun in D.C. When he's got the kids all tucked in, he was hoping to, you know, have a little fun at the strip club. go back into the hotel room and then all things are good on the DC tour with the kids. Uh-uh, wrong.

Florida high school teacher. She has not resigned yet, but I'm sure she will soon. She was grading papers of students. And what other papers would she be grading? And she wrote on the piece of paper WTF is this.

So the parents, is all wound up at the teacher for writing WTF is this. I mean, check your kid's Twitter account. Check your kid's Snapchat account. Check your kid's Instagram account. I'll bet you your kid understands WTF, mom. Okay, I'm finding it hard to be mad at this teacher. I really am.

But the school is taking it, you know, they're handling it. It's all good. and human resources has been involved and they're investigating the situation. What situation? She's grading the papers. WTF is this. It was a crappy paper.

Your kid turned into crappy paper. How about you worry about that, mom, instead of the WTF on the paper. How about that? Man, we live in them. WTF is this. That's all I'm saying. If I could,

I'm trying to think that. If I can, brought home a WTF is this. I would actually, I'd be upset at them. I would be like, well, what is it? I mean, why is your teacher grading your paper? WTF is this? I want to meet your teacher.

Only I'd be seeing it. Yes, I'd be saying it. I am not the word police at my house. Because I don't play around. Yeah, so if you're a homeschool teacher, you would actually write out the full sentence. No, I would just tell them. WTF, which we do.

And I do. Which is why I don't do a lot. of the homeschooling. The kids are like, okay, dad. You're creating a harsh environment for the kids. I know I am. I know I am. Because I don't want them to be dumb.

Like they're showing me they are right now. You're smarter than that. WTF. Agonizing. So Gregory Stanton, you remember Gregory Stanton? Pleaded guilty in November for tampering with products. 49-year-old. You'll remember Greg.

He videotaped. shaped himself urinating along the raisin brand cereal production line. Yeah, you remember him. You remember seeing that video. And you thought to yourself, boy, did I have any raisin brand the last month? No, the sugar didn't even cover that one up. I don't even know. So he's going to be jailed for 10 months.

10 months for urinating on the cereal, the raisin brand line. along the way and videotaping it. I mean, it's good that he videotaped it, right? If you didn't videotaped it, you'd be thinking to yourself, Razor brand doesn't taste as good as it used to. You'd be hurting sales a little bit. This is really sour.

I don't know what this is. Right. Right. Nobody, I mean, no thank you. And I'll have a fan of Raisin Bread, too. Two scoops. Anyway, oh, stop. Don't go there.

Don't make the joke. I got it. How old are you? Do you eat total, too? What do you mean? Total cereal. Raisin brain in total? No, but my grandfather did.

I know what total is. Yeah, it's total bull crap. It tastes terrible. As you could tell, Chris Cruz is off. And it's a little frustrating to have it. You know, they just throw anybody in, do the show, Taylor, because he can just pop on. You know, be a part of the show whenever he wants.

IHOP. Introduces a new big IHop pancake burger as part of the expanded steak burger lineup. And I got to tell you, if it comes close to looking like the pictures, which is tough to do, it looks good and well worth my appointment time. As a matter of fact, I know you'll be Miss Taylor and gosh darn it. You'll just, you know, we'll just have to do without you on the show. If you can just run to IHOP now, that'd be great.

I am not picking this up. Nope. Nope. I don't even think there's an I hop near here. Oh, yes, there is. And I'll tell you exactly where it is. I bet you know where the I app is. So Walmart, another problem at Walmart.

And I don't understand how this actually happened. I mean, I guess I do, but I don't understand the outcome of it. So Marcy Flores, wanted her daughter. Leonov is high school graduation. Marcy, I guess the whole everybody has different names now. Nobody is named family names. Anyway, don't go down that road. I'm sorry.

went to Walmart the morning of the graduation to get a cake that she had ordered. They didn't have the cake she ordered. Walmart lost her order for the two-tier graduation cake, which is weird. Walmart usually, and that's money to their stores. They're not going to miss those orders. So they said, hey, we'll give you another one for free. Just, you know, pick one out.

So she chose a blue cake with the school's colors. She also said they offered to put graduation decorations on the cake and her daughter's picture, which they did. And that was nice of them, I thought. And so off she goes. Later on at the party, they bring out the cake. Yay, there's a graduation cake. I know the two tier one we talked about.

They lost my order. I know. but they made this for you and it's beautiful. It's wonderful. Thank you. Let's cut into it and happy graduation, honey. Well, it doesn't quite cut right. Let's go it on.

It's a styrofoam cake. What? I mean, I get the fake cakes, you know, that they have out there for show and stuff. I get that. is it but I picked that one there give me that one there it was not like it would already

had frosting on it so they just put more of the decorations on it and said here it's free so Florida said the store offered her a $60 gift certificate oh isn't that special

no yeah you might get the latest call of duty for that much Walmart Public Affairs issued a statement saying care of the problem with Flores's cake. So it was more than 60 bucks, good. I mean, at least

maybe when you get a you know, any cake you want, gift certificate and a brand new TV. How about you take the 75-inch Samsung sitting in back? Oh, okay. No problem. I'm okay with that. The incident was a result

of misunderstanding according to the spokesman. what? The matter has been resolved. The customer was given a gift card for her inconvenience. I mean, they better have given a gift card and a TV for that, man. If they didn't,

uh, Flores, you, you're too nice. You're too nice. You're a better person than me. You're a better person than me because that's a problem. I mean, I'm not saying that it's worth millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars, although if they offered it, I would take it. But I'm not saying it's worth that.

but that's worth more than a $60 gift certificate. It's a graduation party cake that you first lost the original order for a cake that was a two-tier bigger cake, prettier. Then you offered a cake that was a fake cake. We'll put some free decorations on it for you and we'll make the cake free. Here you go. Here's the school callers. Get out of here. Thank you.

Happy graduation, your daughter. Thank you, Ms. Flores. Take care. Bye. Thanks for coming to Walmart. I hope she chokes it dies on that styrofoam. I mean, that's more than 60 bucks. I wonder if the teacher who graded that paper got that and she could just write WTF is this.

WTF is this, Walmart. Right. Yeah, you still mad at that teacher for that? I doubt it. All right, let's go to the break room. I need a drink anyway of Coca-Cola zero sugar ice cold. Oh my gosh. I don't care what day of the week it is.

All right there, my friends. is good. I know that Mountain Dew has its newest flavor that combines 50 other flavors. You know, every year Mountain Dew releases the new flavor for the summer for a limited time. And this year's flavor combines 50 flavors to make what is being called Mountain Dew Liberty Brew. We're going to have to try that here on chewing the fat sometime in the next few days. New flavor is midnight blue colored and gray. combines the 50 different flavors that include

mountain dew include flavors. Mountain Dew is officially released and are still testing out. So they've got official flavors and some they're still just testing out. Combination of grape, berry, tropical fruits, code red, voltage, all mixed

together. Mountain Dew Liberty Brew. Now, that's the summer drink. And my point is, is that we'll give it a try, but I'm sorry. No way is it as good as Coca-Cola, zero sugar. Did you just open that? Ice cold.

So good. So I wish this was around when I was in high school. I wish this was around when I was in high school. In Texas, right now, they have high school, varsity, barbecue teams. What? When did that start? Amazing. I'll tell you what

The Great State of Texas No doubt about it So now I guess there's Right now they've got about 100 schools that are competing And I It started at Ennis High School here in Texas And it's a hybrid class Between metal shop and home economics

And they make their own cooker And they use it when it's complete They other vocational teachers assist the students learning how to be pit mass teachers are the instructors, but they're not allowed to help the students during the cookoffs. They're judged on the best beef brisket, pork ribs, half a chicken, best beans, dessert, best pit, most school spirit, best t-shirt. Why are we invited to these?

Are you telling me chewing the fat? My face is on a steak. They should be our sponsor. We should be promoting the heck out of these high school barbecue team cookoffs. these should be the weekend fun or the Thursday night cookoff or whatever they have their cookoffs Wednesday night, Monday night,

every night of the week. Yay, yeah, yeah, go team, go team. I want to be the broadcaster who's broadcasting the high school cookoffs the barbecue teams live. We'll do it live. We'll go live. And we'll do it on the blaze.

Or we'll just do it on my Facebook page. We'll chew in the fat. We'll do it live. We'll just do it live. We've got to make that happen. That has to happen. Congratulations to Robert Pattinson. He's now the new official Batman. And if you don't remember who Robert Pattinson is, you remember him from the movies, Twilight movies. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And I believe he was in Harry Potter, too. I think he was in some Harry Potter stuff too. But he's the new Batman. He ought to be able to pull that off pretty good.

He's a cool enough guy to, you know, he's hip enough to pull off Batman these days. Better than what's his face? Ben Affleck. Ben was not a great Batman as far as I can go. Jeopardy Chapman. You've been watching it? We've talked a little bit about it. James Holesauer.

He's about two and a half million richer now. Uh, his four year old daughter was, uh, crying. They told the story about his daughter crying about, uh, she didn't want her dad losing. And, uh, so he told her that, uh, hey, we'll have a party. Uh, when I lose, uh, now that we've got this money, um, you know, we'll have this big party. Uh, thanks to this. And she now cries when I win because she wants me to lose so she can have a party. Ha, ha.

Ha. Uh, now he's like 58,000 short of. of Ken Jennings's all-time record for money-wise. Now, the game's not even close. I mean, he's got like 32 games in a row, and Jennings had like some in the 70s in a row, right? So good luck, God bless. However, this weekend, and I think we're going to be had,

this is a bet from chewing the fat, all right? So today is June 3rd, 2019. All right? they're saying that the leaked footage this weekend was that he loses tonight. He bet wrong at the end and he loses the game. So you go ahead. He loses tonight. This was the leaked footage over the weekend.

I want to make a bet that he wins. I want to make a bet that that's the game. the leaked footage is just to gain audience. That's my bet. Kind of like when movies release fake trailers. Yes. I just feel like, I feel like why would they do that?

The point of him, the point of driving the audience to watch James is that he's winning all the time. Now, so they're at the point now, right? He's won 32 games. People are starting to get bored with it a little bit. Like, oh, you know, he won again, same guy. Just like they did it with Jennings, right?

I mean, it's cool that he won all these games. He's winning all this money. but, you know, he's coming up. He's almost going to beat, he's almost going to beat Jennings. He's going to be gray where nobody's watched. So the numbers are gone down a little bit. And so they leaked this footage,

and now they, of him losing, so people tune in to see him lose, and then he wins. And so they could say, we didn't have anything to do with that leaked footage. We didn't know what you're talking about. And, you know, that's the way. I just have a feeling that that's going to happen.

So let me know how it turns out because I'm not watching. Actually, I will. I mean, I'll remember, I'll try and remember to devr it. In fact, you know what? I'm going to text my wife right now to devr it. So that, uh, uh, sometime later tonight when I, about like a 10, 30, 11 o'clock to go, oh, crap, jeopardy. And then I'll go, but the news will be out by then.

So I don't even have to do that. I don't have to do. Shoot, you'll report it to me. Just tweet me at Jeffrey JFR. Or Facebook me, Jeff Fisher Radio. Or Instagram. Jeff Fisher Radio, let me know what happened so that I know. I mean, they're right or wrong, either way, but I'm making a bet.

I'll bet you, I'll bet you, if he loses, I'll drink a Mountain Dew summer flavor for the entire episode sometime this week rather than a Coca-Cola zero sugar. That'd be my bet. If I win, I'm just going to continue to drink Coca-Zero like I normally do. Okay. I mean, that's my bad. I know. I know. So Donald Trump's into the UK. It kicks off a three-day state visit. He had lunch with the royal family.

He's got a big banquet at Buckingham Palace going on, wearing the tux and tails and walking around with the queen, and he's being treated great. We will have a report, you know, there's going to be some serious, some serious insider information from our Windsor Whisperer. here on Chewing the Fat, our very own special reporter inside Windsor Castle, and he'll be reporting here on Chewing the Fat sometime later this week.

We also found out that an audible hockey puck, they've developed this audible hockey puck, and you think to yourself, why, you know, it's the point of an audible hockey puck. According to the story, it's going to revolutionize the sport for blind players. I didn't know blind hockey was a thing. Me either. Four Square.

Remember four square? I mean, I'm willing to. It's tough. We'll back up a little bit. Okay, so I didn't either. And I'm willing to pay for it now that I think about it, though. I'm willing to pay. I don't know if I want to see the championship of the blind hockey.

The blind players play in hockey. Well, I think I am. I think I'm willing for the pay-per-view. Do you think they fight? No, they have to. Do they know where? I want to see it. I don't know what kind of sound the puck is emitting.

Maybe if nobody's, the farther away you get, the louder it gets, the closer you get, the softer it gets. I don't know. I don't know, but it would be fun to watch it. Now I'm willing to pay for it now and I want to watch it. But I didn't know it was a thing either. I mean, I... You have to wonder if they're even aware that they're being televised.

Anyway, let's move on to Forrest Square. As I was telling you remember when Forest Square was fun? When Forest Square first came out, used to be the mayor of places and everything. Right? It was just stupid fun. You got to be the mayor of a building or a company somewhere in different cities. And, you know, it was, then they changed it.

And all what the hell? Nobody's using it. Now they're going to acquire a software from Snapchat for $150 million. Is Foursquare still a thing? I mean, seriously, I didn't even realize it was still a thing. I mean, basically have $150 million to buy a software program from Snapchat. Snapchat. Good luck. God bless. And we talked about the universities now making big e-sports rooms.

Now there's, I guess there's a rush now to build facilities all over the country. They want to host pro college and amateur tournaments. I mean, we're going to have this. We're going to have blind hockey. I mean, it's going to be, we are covering some serious sports, man. I'm excited. I'm excited. Watching e-sports tonight? Nope. Blind hockey.

You have no idea how I want to watch blind hockey now. I am in love with Donald Trump. I mentioned that he's on the visit over to the UK. And, you know, the mayor of London has given him just such a douche. And now they have, he's at Windsor, and they're having this big state dinner, and they're all there. And he spent the day touring, and they showed him all kinds of stuff,

and the Queen gave him a big tour. And Prince Charles was there, along with Camilla. And then they showed them all walking around. I bet you Prince Charles is so hating this, man. I mean, Trump is everything Prince Charles despises. Everything. And you know, Trump, if I'm Donald Trump, man, if I'm making a turn down a hallway and I got Charles all to myself

for a few seconds around the corner, you know, you just give him a quick elbow. Hey, Chuck. Too bad the old lady don't die, huh? You'd be king by now. Instead, you're just a loser prince. I'll be right there. And off he goes up to look at another picture.

I just be so great. I want reports of that happening. I want interviews of Prince Charles saying, you know, that Donald Trump kept teasing me about not being king. I don't know if I want that more or I want the blind hockey game. Congratulations in order.

We don't have a name yet. But one winning ticket for Saturdays, Powerball Jackpot, $344.6 million. Congratulations. You know, the lump sum, $223.3 million. If you take the payments, 30 payments, why would you do that? Don't take the payments. Get the cash.

Get the cash. We've been over that before. Also, there's still good news, though. There's still a big pot to win out there. The mega million's drawing. They had a million dollar winners from the mega drawing, but 475 million estimated, probably be more coming up on Tuesday for the mega. I just want to go on record just so we're clear.

I'm willing to do that. sure it'll change a few things and put me into a different tax bracket that kind of thing but i'm willing to do that but according to a harvard professor uh who said that winning a 20 million lottery now he didn't say 444 million he said 20 million uh won't make you happier in life dear harvard professor i've had this other story in my

stack of stuff in the fat pile for days and i for some reason i can't get to it it. And I'm not going to get to it today either because I want to remind you. Now I'll get to it. There's a guy, the Canadian man, was trying to smuggle leeches and he had carried them on an airplane. Now, he had the leeches in a large reusable grocery bag and a dog, the Border Patrol dog. I thought they smelled drugs. They were there for drugs, but apparently they're there for, is that something weird in that box? It smells weird. What is that? that. It's leeches. 4,78 wild live leeches found in this guy's grocery bag.

A, who's the guy that counted it? How do we know that there's 4,788 leeches? Okay. That's my first question. B. Leeches? Really? Apparently, they're used for medicinal purposes.

And they are regulated if they're a certain kind of leech. So they find this guy with 4,788 wild leeches, and they went to have them tested to see if they were lawful. And the climate, the environment and climate change Canada, the ECC, that one hurts right there. That's coming to America soon. Environment and climate change Canada. The leeches were identified as Herudu Verbana,

One of only two species of medicinal leads that come under regulations aimed at controlling wildlife trade. So they were illegal. Have a nice day. Amazing. Story out of Florida. And the reason we know this story out of Florida is because we were told it. If this were me, you would not know this story.

Deep Sea fishermen reeled in an estimated 30 to 50 kilos of cocaine with the street value of nearly a million dollars. The catch was pulled in about 70 miles southeast of charge. Didn't one fisherman realize what they were dealing with? And instead of bringing it into the boat and going home and selling it to Joe on the street for 500,000, and just forgetting about it, he called the authorities. The authorities are now working with federal authorities to determine the source of the drugs. And they also praised the fishermen for doing the right.

thing. Ouch. Selling it to feed your family is still the right thing. Right? Thank you. That's what I thought. Okay, sure. You're doing the right thing.

I'm sure you sell the cocaine that you reeled in. The right thing for somebody else might be. Okay, sure that could have happened too, but you hope for the best. Right? All right. I got it. Oh!
