You know, there was a point in my life when I had an opportunity to see Avichi. And, you know, Vichie, we lost him. He passed away. And Big Star, and I was just singing one of his songs that wake me up. And when we were in San Francisco a few years ago for the Super Bowl thing, he was in town performing. And I could have gotten tickets. Now, I would have had to go, gone to the show, and not told my wife. because she was like,

you're not going to see Evichu without me. And me being the man of the house, you know. Setting things straight. Of course, I went to the show without her and told her don't freaking worry about it. Except that that's not really the way it happened.

And I said, oh, okay, I won't go. We'll see him another time. And then I never had a chance to see him. Very, very sad. I don't know why I'm telling you the story, except that I was just singing the Avichie song,

wake me up and it got me thinking about I wish I would have been able to see him live before he passed away. Now it's just videos. All right, so I like Samsung products. I'm a Samsung fan. I have a Samsung phone. I have a Samsung washer and dryer. Do I have a, is one of my refrigerators, Samsung? No, I don't think it is. But it could be. And it's going to be soon because they are now turning refrigerators into what will be known as the refrigerators of Tinder. If you're not familiar with Tinder, it's a dating app. And don't look at me like,

I know it's a dating app. Of course it's a dating app. But a lot of people might not know what it is. And, you know, you put your picture up and you swipe right if you like one, and then they contact and you can contact each other. If you don't like the person that's in your profile that sends you a picture, you swipe left and they go away. Well, Samsung is,

is creating their refrigerator dating app called refrigerating dating. First of all, I have been a fan of the food in my refrigerator for a lot of years. And so, I mean, a lot of times the refrigerator is my Tinder date. So I'm well aware that you can use your refrigerator for that. but they want the touchscreen on the door so that you can use to view the, you know,

the family schedule, ingredient tracking camera that lets you double check whether you're out of milk. You can take a photo of the inside of your fridge to share. This is where the Samsung refrigeridating, refrigior dating, right? Refidger dating. Yeah, that's their new app. Refidger dating.

Say it again with me. Refidger dating. Take a photo of what's inside your fridge. And, of course, that's just, you know, for you and to show off so people can look at the picture and go, oh, I like the food in that refrigerator. Want to go out? Now, I don't know that I want to do that. I really don't want to do that.

I know that food is part of our lifestyle. Everybody's, you know, either, you know, gluten-free or vegan or doing the keto diet. We're all trying to eat good. But, you know, they just want you to be able to take a picture of your refrigerator and then people will be able to join in and say, oh, yeah. Look at that almond milk makes me hot. And I, you know, swipe right.

So refrigerating. I don't know. It may or may not go over But I like the idea of being able to see my refrigerator And see what's in there So you can remember when you're at the store I need that and get it But you can even go beyond that, right?

I mean, if it's Samsung and you hook up to Amazon, they just send it to you. It looks like you're low on your space Where you usually keep milk It's at the front door for you. I mean, that'd be sweet. You don't have to, we just stop going to the grocery store. Oh, yeah.

But now we're going to stop going to the grocery store. We're going to have the deliveries to the house. But we're going to go out on a date because of what we have in the refrigerator? I don't know. I don't know. Because I have a feeling that somebody that likes my refrigerator is going to be a person. I don't know that I necessarily want to go out on a date with. Let's say you look at my refrigerator and you go, oh, yeah.

Look at those five-half gallons of ice cream. one's chocolate mint one's vanilla oh one's Rocky Road swipe right now if you're a fan of those half gallons of ice cream you may not be a person that's in

the best of shape unlike me of course now welcome to chewing the fat thank you so much for coming along for uh for the ride on fat today. And this is where we go in depth. We ask the deep questions right here

on chewing the fat. And the main question that we ask on this show is, what is going on? Something is happening. Now we have an outbreak of measles in North Texas. And southern Texas. And outbreaks in New York. And outbreaks in Washington.

What? we have measles now breaking out around the country I thought we had that kicked something is going on and that's why we ask here on chewing the fat what is going on another question we ask

here on chewing the fat is do we care about Laura Lumer anymore is she out we don't care about Laura Lumer anymore I thought she was but she's not on Twitter anymore right she's Twitter never gave her back

Twitter never gave it back Still Facebook? But PayPal just banned her. Oh, then she's screwed. So, wow. Okay, so hold on. She's been banned? Oh, here.

Read deeper into the story, Jeff. She's been tossed off a number of other, uh, Venmo. Go fund me. Okay. Maybe we do. We need to care about Laura again, right? Come on. This is just not fair.

Life isn't fair. Dear Laurelum, we hereby are notified from you that we are terminating a relationship with your account pursuant to PayPal's user agreement under the PayPal user agreement, it's our sole discretion, has the right to terminate your accounts for any reason at any time upon notice to you. Wow. And we've decided that we don't like you anymore. And since you said, okay, would you just click the rights of the app, you don't get to use us anymore

that's kind of that's a bad place for Laura Lumer and I feel I do feel sorry for that's a bad place to be in because once the dominoes start falling on that you're done you're over you got no there's no way for you to do anything right people can't pay you

for to see your content and you have no place to put your content I'm sorry Laura I mean that that's crap I think that everyone should have of an outlet. First they came for Alex. I didn't say anything.

Right. We did, though. First, then they came for Laura. We didn't say anything. But we did, though. Then they came in for Jeff Fisher and we didn't say anything. Wait, we wouldn't say anything for that? Because we said we actually did say something for Alex,

and we actually did say something for, didn't do any good. Because these, the platforms all went, oh, yeah, God, done. We didn't say anything for Gavin McGuinness. And. But we did. Okay, then I don't know. I don't think that quote works anymore.

Right? Because we've been doing something. Right. We actually have spoken up for these people and still nothing. It's like, we have a right. We're a private entity company. Yeah, with my content that you get to sell to other people for more money. Thank you.

I knew we still cared about Laura Lover. I told you. That's why I asked the question. We do care about lower Lumber. Sometimes you have to wonder about companies, right? A big company. And I know we were just joking around a little bit about the big platforms, you know, not caring about the little guy. And even if you complain and say something, it doesn't matter, they poo-poo you and they do what they want.

But sometimes you have to wonder about the decisions that they make. And another big company that just, you know, made a decision you think, no one in the chain of command, no one along the downline said, you know, that probably isn't a very good idea. We ought to rethink that. No one says that. Adidas has a shoe ultra boost line that included a broader collection of clothing and sneakers that were inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. And they were releasing it as part of a Black History Month collection. Okay. but their new tennis shoe, sneaker, Adidas, footwear,

was all white made of cotton. And that's how they were selling it. So, you know, another post said, I went in to look at the ultra-boose shoe by Adidas, and I was told by an employee that, hey, these shoes are made to celebrate Black History Month. they're all white and made of cotton. I didn't go over well.

And social media took to the flames. And Adidas, fortunately when that happens, they went, the guy that earlier went, if there was this person, you know, that's probably not a really good idea. They go back to him and say, why wouldn't you say something louder? Why didn't you stand up in front of us and say no?

Why didn't you say something when we went to put it to market? Because Adidas has now said that, you know, we felt it didn't reflect the spirit of philosophy of how Adidas believes we should recognize an honor Black History Month. After careful consideration, we've decided to withdraw the product from the collection. Told you. Now let's talk a little animals. We love animals here on chewing the fat. That's why we have a chewing the fat zoo farm segment that starts now. Is that what this is?

I-ha! The chewing the fat. Wack. Woof? Yes, the chewing the fat zoo farm animal segment. This animal would be in the zoo if you had it. It's a mountain lion. and you don't have a mountain lion for a pet

and you don't actually keep mountain lions on the farm. But a trail jogger in Colorado had a mountain lion sneak up on him from behind. Dead. And yeah, that's what happened to the mountain lion. What? I know. Oh, that mountain lion lost his card.

The man is recovering. Okay. I know, the mountain lion got a couple scrapes in, a couple bites in, got the fight in. But this had to be a sick mountain lion. Right? A mountain lion. It had to be sick.

Yeah. It just got done fighting another mountain lion. Because I got news for you. The guy that he fought was not the rock. Okay? It was a trail jogger. Was it Terry Cruz? It might.

Right. That's right. Right. One of those guys. It was a rock or a tree. Okay, got it. They would have walked home with the, with the mountain lion around their neck. You know, right?

I've got a new necklace. But that's it. Now. Oh, and it's also, just to be clear. I mean, we had the picture of the giant mountain. lion. It was one of the little juvenile ones. And that's probably why I snuck up on the human, right? A little baby.

Yeah, I didn't know how to. He was just like, I'm sneaking up on the human. Am I supposed to attack the human? I think I might as well attack it. And the guy, you know, got a couple swipes in and the guy was little one. I mean, if you have that happened to you, you got to grab on and choke. And don't let up. I mean, we've done stories before.

We've talked to people who have fought mountain lions and little, not really mountain lions. what are they called? A little, you know, little animal cats. You know, those animal cats that they have in this. Anyway, it doesn't matter. You know what I'm talking about. Don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about. Yes, you do.

All right, I'll find what they're called. All right, so Florida Panthers is what I was thinking of. But they're the same, you know, they're big cats. And people have talked about, you know, being attacked by them, If they're rabid or if they're on the attack for whatever reason, you just got to grab on and choke and don't let up. And don't let up, man. That's how you do it.

So this particular Colorado runner did that. And the man killed it by suffocating it. I mean, that's what happened. The lion was killed. I mean, look, he's on the, they're going to see what actually killed it. It will probably come out that the animal was eight times. The animal was almost dead when he attacked the guy. He actually was coming up to the guy to have him,

please take me to the hospital. I'm a sick cat. That's what's going to have. That's what PETA wants to have happen. But no. Now, good news in another animal story, though, for those of you that are thinking, oh, the poor animal just wanted help.

He wasn't feeling good. A 30-year-old man is believed to have been out, you know, walking around, singing a song in the great smoky mountains. And I, have you ever been to the Smoky Mountains? They're beautiful, especially this time of year. But a guy was out there, William Lee Hill, Jr. was up in the mountains. And he, look, when you're high on meth, what you want to do is you want to walk around.

around the grape, smoky mountains, up in the hills, and just wander around. And then when the big bear came up on him, the bear just killed him. Just attacked him and ripped them apart and left them in the woods. That was a nice day. So there you go. There's two animal stories, one sad, one good. Happy? 50-50.

50-50. Now, there's also a sad animal story, and I don't know about it being sad. It's just a sad human story, but it's to do with animals. The latest dog grooming trend Is putting Glitter and ribbons and bows On the dogs Scrotum

What? Yeah Like down there? Yeah I mean Dip them and You got the little Decoration that they put over it

Yeah and we'll know that you're cupping You know you're cupping them Yeah I know I'm my hand just did that They can see that. I know. I'm just making sure that they know that you're cupping.

That's what you're doing with your hand. That's what I'm trying to do. Of course they know what they're. There's cameras all over this room. Although this is just an audio podcast, but I get that. I mean, they can still, look at the idea. And you think, I'm thinking, first, first I'm thinking, oh, that's kind of sad. But it might be fun to watch the dog show this year, the New Year's Day dog show with the glittery scrotums.

And you think, man, that's sick. How could humans do that? And then up next is a study that says, a new study has found that women report better sleep when they share their bed with a dog. Huh. That study came out right around the same time. We started having glittery things.

I don't look at me like I think that's happening, my friend. I'm just pointing out the fact that the stories came out at the same. time. All right, we got to move on from this. All right, so this week I'm filling in for Pat Gray on Pat Unleashed on the Blaze Radio and television network. Are we not done with the week? No, the week's still on.

It's only what? Today? This is Wednesday. Oh, this is Wednesday? Yeah, this is Wednesday. It's Wednesday? A little confused there on the days. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is Wednesday. So Thursday Friday. So does it count if you have not gone to sleep yet? I went to sleep a little bit not last night, but the night before.

I got a little bit of sleep. That's what I'm saying. So are we still On Tuesday? Because we didn't sleep. Okay. That's my answer to that. It just depends. It doesn't know how you feel. I think tonight I'll be able to get a little bit of sleep.

I'm looking forward to possibly getting some sleep tonight. Because what happens is you can't sleep, you can't sleep, you can't sleep. And then all of a sudden you're sound to sleep. It hits you like a ton of breaks. And that's an hour before the alarm goes off. So this morning, I finally went to sleep. and I'll tell you later in the podcast, you know, why I was up all night. But I-

Seltu coverage. You watched the whole Trump. Yeah, that's it. That's what it was. I did do watch that. I watched Trump. And then you watched Eric Bowling get drunk with Sean Spicer. We watched that.

Actually, actually, I missed that, and I'm going to have to go back and watch it. I hope it's on demand, baby. At the Blaze. And if it's not. If it's not. I know a guy. I know a guy that runs a website. I really disappointed because he kept showing in the beginning.

I did watch the beginning coverage. as they went into the state of the union and they showed where he was going to be broadcasting from which is there in the Trump Hotel Never before. Bar. Never before. Not the lobby.

Precedent. Never before. Not a separate room or office off to the front. Right there at the bar. Not behind the counter as people walk in and want to check in in the corner. Next to the bar. Where else are you going to put it, Jeffrey?

And the Trump Hotel bar isn't like a little Old Town Saloon. It's not? No. No, it is not. It is a pretty good-sized drinking area. And so I was told that there was, there may have been some. Bloopers.

Some bloopers. That's a good, that's a good word for it. Good word for it. But, so I've been doing Pat's show, Pat Unleashed in the morning. Seven to Nine Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network. Pat, well-deserved vacation. I love him. You can, you know, it's all good.

Everything's okay with them. But I teased doing the history of scissors on the morning show. And everybody looked at me like, what the hell are you talking about the history of scissors? Now, I read an article, and I just found it again, on the history of scissors. And I told the guy this morning off the air, I said, I just read this article. That's where I came up with it. I read the article on the history of scissors. It was fascinating.

And he looks at me like, the history of scissors was fascinating? Yes. Now think of this. Think of this. 176 steps in the process of making handmade scissors. Didn't realize it was so hard, did you? No. 11 generations of William Whiteley's Cissor Company has been in the same family.

5,000 to 8,000 cut make up a lifetime of scissors use as benchmarked by Fiskers. Okay? zero degree angle on the blade on children's safety scissors five to 15 degree angle on the blade for typical paper scissors and the 45 degree angle. I know I don't have to tell you this. The 45 degree angle of the blade on dressmaking scissors. I mean, I knew I did have to tell you that.

And the orange icon on the Fiskers was just a mistake. Well, it wasn't a mistake. He was just like, well, we got all this extra orange because the Fiskers designer they wanted to make a lighter pair of shears. And at the time, Fiskers was producing or trying to produce orange juicers. So they had all this orange plastic. They didn't know what to do with.

Well, just juice those on the handles of the scissors. And thus, Pusker's orange handles, scissors. And there's so much, you know what, I'm just going to tweet it out. I mean, it is a fascinating story on scissors. And as I get into it, I realize that perhaps the look that I got, talking about how the scissors story was fascinating. There may have been a reason for that. But it is fascinating, and it goes all the way back to 16-60-through-15-100 BC.

The first pair of bronze spring-action scissors are made to snip cloth. You kidding me? We're still using this product? Tell me that's not fascinating. Go ahead. Tell me. Tell me, yeah, you can't. You can't.

That's right. It's not. No, you can't tell me that because it is. I'm going to tweet the scissors. It's not fascinating. The history of scissors? Stop talking. Who too just?

Stop it. As long as we're teasing me filling in for Pat Gray on Pat Unleashed on the Blaze Radio and Television Network this week, we will be definitely doing this story tomorrow morning. If you're listening today, February 6th, 2019, then tomorrow, the same. 7th during the Pat Gray on Leash program, we will be doing the Michael Bolton story. There's video of Michael Bolton. Don't look at me like you don't know who Michael Bolton is.

That sounds familiar. Michael Bolton? Did he create the bolt for the guns? Yeah, that's what he did. Yeah, that's what his bolt action. The bolt hits the bullet. It used to be bolted. It used to be bolted action. And they just got rid of the ton.

Also like Trump. Trump wasn't Trump before, but now he's Trump. Bolton, he's a singer. 75 million records. Eight top 10 albums. How many platinum albums does he have? How many platinum albums? American Music Awards, two Grammy Awards. I know only Platinum Award winners.

Is he a Platinum Award winner? Is he a Platinum Award? Do you? Is he a Platinum Award? I don't know. Okay, then that I don't know him. So he's doing an interview. And he's doing one of those roundtable interviews where he sits there and all these news. programs log in.

You know, they call the feeds and they do their little morning show interviews. You've seen them a thousand times. All the little morning shows around the country here in the U.S. and Australia, you sit in a room, whether it's a green screen

or a hotel room or wherever it is, and they hook you up. And you just sit there and talk about you promote your stuff, right? It doesn't. Michael just doesn't stop by the morning show. It's like we talked about Liam Nees and stopping by. That just doesn't happen What are they doing? Oh, I know.

They're promoting something. That's what they do. It's okay. That's what they do. So he's supposed to be doing this interview. I think it's in Australia. The hosts sound. And I don't want to put anybody in a box, but they sound like they're from Australia.

He is sound asleep. When they go to him, sound asleep. You can't hear him. So I think they've turned the audio off because Michael, they're between interviews. He's in Florida. He's sitting in his hotel room in Florida or in a studio, you know, an office studio in Florida where he's gone to do these interviews. It's early, right?

And he is sound asleep, man. And now he's saying, I wasn't sound asleep. I was busy tweeting. I got my first record deal when I was 15 and I haven't. slept since. Okay, thanks, Mike. I mean, can't. I know it's embarrassing.

I got it. It was embarrassing. But just fess up. It makes people love you more. Everybody in the world knows you weren't tweeting. Everybody. It really ticks me off when they don't fess up and just own it. Yep, you know, I was between interviews and they shut my audio off and I started to doze off.

Sorry. Now, once I heard the audio again, I was up and we did the interviews. I mean, I just, I just don't know why after that second of embarrassment, just, own it. Own it. So when you go to Rob a fast food restaurant and you walk in and use, hey, stick them up, let's say, let's pick a restaurant that you run into. Oh, let's try Popeyes in. Eastern New Orleans.

And you walk in and you try to steal some money from the register. And instead of you got lucky because when you walked in, nobody was at the register. So you just jumped, you just leaned over the counter and tried to get in the register. And you couldn't get in the register because somebody was coming. And so then you just grabbed some fried chicken and left. I'm taking something out of this restaurant. I don't care. I want cash because with cash I could go buy my rock and get high.

But as long as I can't get the cash, I might as well take some chicken and eat that. Or I can sell it to somebody and then have cash, go by my rock. Amazing. Amazing. People just fascinate me. Speaking of fast food change, though. Subway, wow, they are closing stores all over the place. Subway Sandwich Shop

closed more than 900 stores in 2017, 500 in 2018, plus there's more closures coming this year. Wow. And they have all kinds of, I mean, they have a ton of stores. They finally figured out

they've got 1100 fewer locations than they had a year ago. The last time Subway had so few restaurants was back in 2011. That was the first time that they had fewer than 25,000 restaurants. I guess they'll be okay. Never mind.

I mean, you have over 25,000 restaurants, and you realize, you know, those over there aren't doing that well. Let's get rid of them. It doesn't hurt you. Or you open it up and it's a good location and then somebody doesn't know what they're doing. They manage it wrong. They run out of money. They close it down.

and Subway says, oh, yeah, well, that sucks. We got your franchise money. Have a nice day. We'll open up another one in a year. There's a lot of subways out there. A lot of Subways out there. And I'm, are you a subway fan? I, it's questionable for me.

Farhouse sub. Yeah. My kids, my daughter loves there, there's one of the sandwiches that she loves from Subway. So we do get, we do stop there from time to time. If there's nothing else, like let's go to subway. And we're out and about here and I are out. in about somewhere.

I was, all right, I'll take you to subway. But other than that, I mean, it's not a destination. You know what I mean? It's not like, hey, let's go to subway. It's, yeah, let's go to subway. Now, when we were in New York, there was a subway right around the corner from the studios. And so a lot of times, we would stop in there in the morning and get breakfast sandwiches from them on the way up to the studios. Then I was a subway fan.

The guy cooking in New York on 42nd Avenue, 402nd Avenue and 7th. 6th, no, 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, make some monster breakfast sandwiches. So if you have an opportunity to stop in, tell him I said hi and order a breakfast sandwich, will you? So we're still waiting on a verdict

for El Chapo. All right, we don't have a verdict in New York from El Chapo. You know, you know, he's going to be guilty. I don't even, they're holding on, they're probably getting, you know, well, we probably should order food before we tell the judge we've made a decision. Have you made a decision yet? Nope. Look at the time.

It must be, it looks like we're going to have to break for dinner and another night in a hotel. You know he's going to be guilty. So there's that to look forward to. I want to thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. Appreciate it. Please subscribe.

Inquirer's mission to expose Jeff Bezos' relationship with Laura Sanchez. It reveals how Bezos tried to wrestle control of the narrative. He's so pissed. We said that. We said that. Thank you.

Thank you. We said that. Of course he's going to. Of course. He sent the guy. Right. Right. Thank you.

Way ahead of the curve on this. You could see it a mile away. Don't mess with the man. Jeff Bezos. I mean, even if he has to give the wife half, that's still $70 million. I still don't believe that she should get half. I do. I know this is, again, this is where you and me differ.

She gets a quarter, the house. A quarter. That's a slap in the face. Okay. That's like, what is that? 30 million? 30 billion? That's a slap in the face.

How many billions do you have? That's embarrassing. How many billions do you have? Embarrassing. Tell me right now, Jeff, me and you're married. Me and you're married. and I have 30 billions to give you. You're going to say no?

Okay, well, let's wind back a little bit. Okay. If you're worth $140, $150 billion, I'm not divorcing you, baby. Okay. You and I are together. I may live on the other side of the country. We're together? I may take separate trips on the yacht.

but you and I are still married. You know, the papers may say, Chris seen out with some other guy while Jeffie is bathing in the Mediterranean. I know. It's okay. It's okay. I still love them. I still love them. Okay. That's the arrangement we'll have. So I don't want to fight with you about that.

Because I'll never leave. Now, for real? Come on. She helped build this business. she helped build this business from the very beginning. Who's the face of the company? I'm not going there for, what's her name again? Mrs. Bezos? No, that's not her name.

That's her last name. This is Bezos. That's what her name is. Ms. Bezos. I don't know her name. I know Jeff Bezos, bald guy. That's all I know. I do not know her name, so she'll get a quarter and we're done.

Good night. Case adjourned. All right. Before I leave today, I just want to say goodbye to my friend, Doc Thompson. I found out last night that he had passed away. And the first 20 or 30 minutes, I didn't believe it. I thought it was a bit.

I thought they were pulling my leg. I thought they were sucking me into a Doc Thompson, bit. In fact, I almost, even today, it's still on less than 24 hours since I've heard the news. I almost expect him to walk in and say, you idiot, did you really think I was dead? I know it's not going to happen. I know it's not true. I'm kidding myself. I mean, he's got a beautiful wife. He's got three kids, two little ones, two real little ones, his older son from another marriage. I mean, I know how difficult that is. to get the families together like that.

And they were together as much as they could be. He was working here. He had the family living in Arkansas. His oldest son was in Ohio. He was trying to keep everything together. And then it just goes away. It's just over. And I'm very sad.

Very sad that this day is here. We all live our lives every day. And we just go through the motion sometimes. We really shouldn't. And I know we hear it from time to time that, you know, we should stop and smell the roses. We should appreciate this and appreciate more and do everything. And really, if you, the question when someone asked you, hey, if you were told that you were going to die next week, what would you change? And the answer should be nothing.

The answer should be you're living the life you want to live. You're loving the people you want to love, and you've told everyone around you exactly how you feel and what they mean to you. I do not do that. I would venture to say that that's a very low percentage of people that live that way. I don't know why that is. I mean, it's just life, right? And you always think it's going to get different next week.

It's going to get different tomorrow. And then life happens. and life is just that mess in the middle of everything while you're waiting for something else to happen, life happens, right? And you turn around and the guy that you laughed with, the guy that you joked with, the guy that you did practical jokes with,

the guy that you got mad at that you argued with, is not around. It's just gone. And you realize how fragile that is. And I know that sounds like, weird because heck a month ago I'm laying in a hospital I had a heart attack

everybody thought I was going to die I never did but everyone else did and you realize how fragile it really is one minute gone and so

you get home tonight after listening this podcast or tomorrow or whatever you listen to this podcast just make sure you hug your kids hug your wife and tell them what you think and unless you're married to Jeff Bezos and you're sticking around for the $140 billion. I think we can't say goodbye to him until you do it properly.

You want? I do. I don't know. It's pretty early. You know he would have wanted it. I mean, what Chris is talking about is a retrospective. And I honestly, I don't know. that I want to do it.

I started writing one. And I started right. I actually did start to write one. It's not done, really, because I did start to write one earlier. Then I kind of said, what are you doing? Too early. But, I mean, I'll do it. No, I, you know, just know that, you know, it's out of love.

All right? I don't know that I could do it now. It's not that I don't want to do it. I don't know that I can actually read the words. This is retrospective. Born Michael in the year 1969, known by the name Doc, though not really a medical professional,

a radio and television personality. Looked down on almost everyone. More due to his height than his attitude. found laughing and teasing others an enjoyment. Doc Thompson, my friend, dead at 49 years of age. Rest in peace, my friend. This has been retrospective on CTF. All right.

I mean, that's, I could add a lot more, you know, and try to, you know, go for some of the bad stuff that we do on retrospective because that's what we do. And I'm going to correct you. He was a doctor. He was a doctor of aromatherapy. Shut up. I wish I didn't know that.

I didn't know that he was a doctor of aromatherty because that's fantastic. He was a doctor of a room therapy. Not a medical professional. No. No. Of aromatherapy. Well, that's in the next retro.
