So sure, the state of California is in a lockdown. And I think you can go visit the state? I don't know. I don't know if you can or not.

Maybe you can sneak in. But a city that is a little upset. at the lockdown because, well, nobody's going to their town. And tourists are what keeps the town alive. So this town decided to create the visit Santa Maria Valley. Now, it's going to pay you to come and stay there a minimum of two nights at one of the many hotels in the area. And the payment is going to come in the form of a voucher that can be used at any of the wineries, breweries, or restaurants.

The promotion goes until March 31st, 2021. It's about 65 miles north of Santa Barbara, and it offers the same amenities as the more well-known California destinations, but at a lower price. Santa Maria Valley has so much to offer. That's why they started visit Santa Maria Valley, and they believe in it so much that they're going to give you a voucher for $100. Now how bad do you want to visit Santa Maria Valley?

Huh? That's what I thought. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. A quick Chewing the Fat weather update. The northern plains are going to plummet to minus 25 degrees in the middle of this week. For those of you listening live, it is the 8th of February 2021. Now, this is for the northern hemisphere, I guess, really, just the United States into Mexico, starting from Canada. And it's going, the weather temperature, if you're looking at the weather map here, as it treks down and

drops down into the southern states. It is going to be a cold. And I mean, the temperatures are going to plunge down into below freezing in Texas. And it looks as though you're going to be down into the 40s in Mexico. Now, Florida is still hanging in there in the upper 60s, lower 70s. So the best place to be is Florida. because we're going to go from negative 20 degrees in Canada to maybe you might get lucky and be at zero in the northern United States, but it looks like the northeast. I mean the northwest is going to be negative 15 or 20.

And then as you get down into the middle of the country and drop a little bit lower, you're going to be down into the teens. So, get those sweaters, jackets and gloves out, my little friends, because it's going to be cold in the U.S. of A. And, you know, Canada, if you care. All right. In my world, no matter the weather, it's always time for ice cream. Let's talk about Brookers founding flavors ice cream. Welcome to the ice cream revolution. Brookings Founding Flavors ice cream is a fun fusion of homemade, super premium ice cream, and early American history.

This is the stuff made with the kind of care and high-end ingredients that you just don't get when you go to the grocery store. Believe me, that grocery store stuff, I can eat, let's say, a half a dozen pints on my own one sitting. You sit down with Brookers and you have, let's say, oh, I don't know, I have. half a dozen pints. And you think I can get through those. No. It's thick and rich and good. You can quote me on that, by the way.

Thick, rich and good. Every flavor is themed around founding fathers and founding mothers from Franklin's Black Rarsbury Republic. If you can keep it to Patrick Henry's, give me chocolate or give me death. You're going to be spooning. into some super premium quality flavor. The Valentine's Day special,

You know, speaking of, you know, places that it's really cold, you know, like Russia. We've talked a little bit about Navalny's prison sentence. Of course, he's now been found guilty in heading to prison for almost three years. You know, he's the anti-Vladimir Putin. And his wife and people have been protesting in the streets, and they've been shot down in the streets. and literally have they been shot down? We haven't had reports of them literally being shot down. We have had reports of the protesters being arrested.

There's all kinds of women that have been protesting that they have been saying that they've been protesting and then forced to strip at the police stations, which I thought found is really, really nice. But new news coming out now that the doctor who treated Navalny after, After the poisoning, yeah, he is, yeah, he's dead now. Huh. Weird how that happens. Now, he treated Navalny and, you know, successfully helped him. I mean, man is still alive.

And so is the doc, or at least was, because now he's dead. And they said we regret to inform that the deputy chief physician for anesthesiology and resuscitation of the emergency hospital, number one assistant of the Department of Olmach State Medical University, Ph.D. of medical sciences, Maxim S.j. Velen Teckovic suddenly passed away. Oh, and the hospital statement did not state the cause of death, but it did say that, oh, you know, maybe he died of a heart attack.

And, you know, sure, he was in charge of Navalny, but it had nothing to do with that. And by the way, you know, it's not uncommon for doctors of his age just to suddenly die. Oh, that makes it okay. Don't even worry about it. As long as we've brought it to your attention. Oh, so it's not uncommon for doctors of his age to suddenly die. Okay.

Okay, no problems. Then we won't even consider foul play. Not for one second. Have you ever heard of a thing called The Secret? I hadn't either. But I saw a headline for a story that said, you know, after 39 years, treasure hunters still scour Golden Gate Park for The Secret. And I thought, well, what is the secret?

So apparently, this secret comes from a 1982 book called The Secret, which detailed locations of ceramic boxes hidden in 12 parks across North America, each of which holds instructions to claim a jewel worth about $1,000. The locations are identified with cryptic poems and illustrations. that look similar to tarot cards, tarot cards. A few have been found. Chicago in 1983, Cleveland in 2004, Boston in 2019. But this story is specifically talking about the San Francisco gem that remains undiscovered to this day.

And they show you the picture of the card of the dragon, the dorm blue dress, and what it looks like representing the Golden Gate Park on her dress. and there's tipsters and everybody thinks they know where it is. But now the park department has implemented the automated treasure hunting permit system in 2018. So they have received 325 applications to dig. I mean, if you don't get, I mean, if you don't give, have some. kind of oversight. People are just going to be digging up the park.

That's pretty crowd. I don't know about the other parks that the treasure is supposed to be at, but hopefully they have set up the same kind of thing that you've got to ask for some kind of permit or something that needs to, you know, let them know. that you're just going to be digging up this park. I'm not big on all these government regulations. I don't want them to charge you for it, although I'm sure they are.

It's a good money-making system. Instead of a scam, we'll call it a system, that the cities can make all kinds of money on, and I say all kinds of money. They've got $325 in San Francisco in this past, it's in the last couple years to dig, And then, of course, you've got the pandemic, so good luck, God bless. But the parks that the secret talks about, you're looking at San Francisco, Charleston, South Carolina, Roanoke Island, North Carolina, Cleveland, Ohio, they found, Chicago, Illinois, they found, St. Augustine, Florida.

You know, it's been a long time to have been on that city, by the way, and I love St. Augustine, Florida. It's a beautiful. If you ever have an opportunity to visit that city, go there. I could live there. That's a beautiful city. New Orleans, Louisiana, Houston, Texas, Montreal, Canada, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Boston, Massachusetts, New York, New York. So the Boston one has been solved.

You can go and dig if you want, but they've actually already found it. So the book is the secret, and you have an opportunity to use the clues. to find the treasure. So that's a big deal these days. I mean, I guess it's kind of like the lottery. You want to figure out the quiz and the questions and figure out where this treasure is and then find the treasure as you look for the buried

of the buried gold. And speaking of I'm 80s, we don't have to talk a lot about it, but I mean, we do have to talk a little bit about the Super Bowl, right? No? Yeah, we got to talk a little bit about it. I mean, come on now, it's the Super Bowl.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fire the cannons! Won the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history. Tom Brady at the helm at QB for his seventh victory as a quarterback for the Super Bowl. Now he's won it for two separate teams. He owned the second quarterback in NFL history to win. Super Bowl on two separate teams and the only quarterback

to win a home game where his team was playing the Super Bowl in their home stadium and they won. That's tremendous. Congratulations. I know that, you know, it was on CBS and it was all pretty much

who, man, it was a tough social justice broadcast. If you, I mean, it was It was tough to get through. Some of it was okay. I mean, you just got to kind of be able to, you know, take it easy and not get dragged in to the social justice stuff because it's hard, man.

After a while, you're like, oh, my gosh, please don't do this anymore. But we had Jim Nance and Tony Romo for CBS announcing the game. And, you know, I felt they, I mean, those two guys are great, and I love their broadcast. and I pretty much, if you're doing a good job, you've got both sides mad at you for not being, you know, for being too much for the other side.

And so, of course, you know, Romo takes the hit of being, oh, it's too much for Tom Brady and not enough for Patrick Mahomes. And I felt at times, you know, I'm like, Tony, are you watching the game? I mean, Patrick's getting crushed. Maybe he's not as good as you think he is. Obviously he is. But the number one thing about Tony Romo of the night

was, and I have to go back, and watch it. All right, so I believe that it's true. I have not gone back to see the actual footage yet of my recorded Super Bowl broadcast, but according to social media that when they came back halftime, Tony still had the little urine stained on his pants, where, you know, the caption of the feed that I saw, was a Tony, a little extra in another shake of the snake.

And I didn't do anything with it because I don't know that it's actually true and I didn't see it. So I'm guessing that it's actually true because there were some other stories about it this morning. And so I'm guessing that it's actually true. But at the time last night I didn't, I wasn't going to rewind it back to see it while the game was on. You're kidding me? I mean, the game is actually, I'm not going to rewind to see what I miss. And then it was, you know, time to have to go bitty by,

which, you know, took forever to sleep and there's no sleep involved. Anyway, since I'm getting up early and doing Pat Unleashed in the morning. So what's sleep? You can sleep when you're dead, Jeff. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, sleep is overrated. And so don't even worry about it. If you get more than two and a half, three hours of sleep, it's too much.

you're almost groggy you're almost you're almost you're almost groggy it's it's so much sleep so you can understand you know why i went to bed right after the game because i wanted to be groggy and i didn't make it but i wanted to be so uh just remember that if you have an opportunity to go back if you recorded the game at all maybe for the halftime show for the weekend which was i thought was okay it was all right it wasn't bad it was a big performance it was a big super bowl performance and that's what you expect from the Super Bowl. It wasn't bad. And, you know, then we had the National Anthem. We had the Poet Laureate with the O. and the first time, a poet, it's at a point before the Super Bowl. You know, she was fine.

Whatever. And, you know, we had the flyover. Yes, it was a flyover. It's in Tampa. It's McDill Air Force Base. Of course, you're going to get the flyover. Duh. Doesn't matter whether we have a new administration or not. And everybody was slamming. Of course, I thought, Joe Buck and Troy but said there wasn't going to be any more flyovers with Joe Biden as president. Well, okay. So you got him there, man. He had you fooled, didn't he?

So it was an enjoyable game, and I wished I would have been there. Man, the last time the Super Bowl was in Tampa, I was there. I was actually, you know, went to the game. And the last time that the Bucks were in the Super Bowl, I was there. And it was just an amazing time. And this year, in Champa Bay, I mean, you had the lightning, win the championship. You had the rays in the World Series.

You had the Buccaneers with the Super Bowl. You had the Rowdies. That's a soccer team. Took some advantage of some championship. I think they tied in the championship. I've got to check on the Rowdies. Hold on. Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back. Yeah, so their championship game was canceled due to the Rona. And then they had some players and coaches test positive. And the league just said, never mind we're not going to do it we'll postpone it and then they said nah we don't need to do it so i mean they were in the championship but it never was played so i mean it is champa freaking bay these days and it'd be a good time to be in uh in Tampa bay no question and you saw the crowds i mean if you watch some of pat gray unleashed this morning we played some video that

uh CNN was airing that uh you know they had the reported there whining and crying, she was double-masked, and she was saying people were walking around in crowds without masks on, and then the night before, she was down in Ebor City, where the huge Super Bowl party was, and people were partying and going into bars and restaurants, and they weren't wearing masks, and they're not supposed to be on dance floors, and they were partying for the Super Bowl. So it was, and she even said in her report, I've gone to the Tampa Police Department. and asked what they were doing about it.

And, I mean, what are they, were they supposed to be, I guess, dragging people out of the restaurants and bars? Maybe at the very least, writing citations, but you're going to write citations for a thousand people. And some of the footage that she was showing, there were a lot of people wearing masks. She was making a big deal that so many people weren't wearing masks,

but there were a lot of people in that crowd wearing masks. So people were making their own decisions on whether they wanted to be in a crowd, whether they wanted to be socially distanced from people, and whether they wanted to wear a mask or not in their life. So they were making their own decisions. It's almost like they were living in a free country. Weird how that works. But CNN did not like that.

This lady, the reporter, whatever her stupid name was, she was not happy about that. And of course, I mean, watch CBS and their virtue signaling the whole broadcast of the Super Bowl. Every reporter was wearing a mask, no matter how far away they were from people on the field or in the stadium. I was really surprised and happy that Nance and Romo weren't wearing masks in the booth. I mean, it was a surprise to me. I was, you know, I'm happy about that because I'd like, you know, I want to hear the broadcast. I don't want them to wear a mask.

and be talking about the exciting Super Bowl game and Tom Brady and Patrick Mahones while they have their mask on and they're trying to tell me how wonderful it is out there because it's beautiful. But we have to wear a mask and we're up here in this booth thousands of feet away from people

and we've been quarantined and so we need to wear these masks. I was really surprised that they weren't wearing one. But thankfully, thankfully, at least CBS let them do the show without masks.

and then your life will be that much better. Okay? Okay, then. All right, let's go to the break room then, because we all need something cold to drink right all right so good so good enough

oh and that's I'm bringing up my ice cold soda so good so so good speaking of getting something cold to drink I see where my former home state

you know a state that I was born in Michigan is full of heavy drinkers. Duh, I could have told you that. I was raised. We did not hide our drinking issues in the state of Michigan from the time I was a little kid until the time I moved the hell out of there.

And it took a while for me to lose that Michigan feeling of having to drink a lot of alcohol in my life. And so apparently in Michigan, A new survey was done. The average Michigander consumed nearly 956 alcoholic drinks

in 2020. This is a study by drugabuse.com. Now that comes out to about 18 drinks per week, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, exceeds heavy drinking.

If you have 18 drinks a week, that's heavy drinking. I can tell you right now, that is Michigan, and I'm sure there's a number of other states out there. We're going to have to look at the study from drugabuse.com on which states are the worst. Michigan is probably one of the worst. Nearly 25% of Michiganers admitted to drinking more during the pandemic. Stay-home orders and bar closures.

Really? They surveyed 3,000 drinkers and found that the average Michigan. interconception of 18 standard size alcoholic beverages per week last year was above the national average of 17 drinks per week. Now both

17 and 18 exceed the heavy drinking from the CDC. 14 drinks a week for men and 7 per week for a woman is heavy drinking according to the CDC. Wow, I can tell you, 18 drinks a week.

I mean, that's not even a full case. I mean, hello, in a case of beer in a week. When I lived in Michigan, big deal, man. Michiganers were the 10th heaviest drinkers across the country. Alaskans consumed the most alcohol with an average of 27 standard of drinks a week. There you go. Now we're breaking into the new case. We're drinking a case of 24, and then we're breaking into the new case.

A total of 1,404 over the year on average. Comparatively, residents in Hawaii and New Hampshire drank the least with just 10 drinks per week. Okay, so the coming in at number one, the number one state, Alaska, as we said. Number two, Rhode Island, 1,261 drinks a week. Wow. New Jersey, 1,130 drinks. Oklahoma, 1,106 drinks. Wow.

Arkansas, 176, Illinois. All these are all over 1,000, except for Michigan, which was number 10 at 956. So, Vermont, Montana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Arkansas, all just over 1,000, not quite 1,100. And then Oklahoma, New Jersey was 1100, over 1100. Rhode Island was 1,200 in Alaska. was 1400. There's some drinking going on. There's some drinking going on. Isn't that what makes America great?

It's the opportunity to have the freedom to decide whether you want to drink at least 18 drinks a week or not. Now make sure you wear the mask though. Make sure you wear the mask.

So a British developer of Patrick Dieter, D-I-T-E-R, has a beautiful place, self-named Chateau Deter, in the French Chateau, near Monaco. It has two helipads, a saltwater swimming pool, a medieval cloister, a bell tower, a greenhouse, 17 acres of gardens, vineyards, olive grows, and lily ponds. The 18 bedroom house is filled with chandeliers, 15th century fireplaces, and fresco paintings. There's also a reception room, a library, a screening room, lounges, dining rooms, a steam room, a staff kitchen, and a cellar with a wine tasting room.

Over the last 15 years, the house has been a TV set, a wedding venue, a vacation spot, with rates ranging from 300 to more than 1,000. $1,000 a night. Eight of the 18 bedroom suites have a private garden of terrace, and one has a painted fresco ceiling. Now, he's been ordered to tear it down. It was only about $70 million, so don't worry about it. Okay? Apparently, he didn't have the right permits.

Huh. So the highest French appellate court made its decision in December. It has to go. He has 18 months to take. This is the whole thing. It has just worth 18. It has only 18 months to make the 32,000 square foot home completely disappear. Wow.

I don't know. I don't know that I could do. that. So apparently he said he had a permit. He got a verbal one from the mayor's office, but he began work on the property before receiving an official paper permit. And the permit, supposedly, didn't cover all the major work he did. It only covered a small extension of the original 2,000 square foot farmhouse on the property. Also, problematic is that he paved a 2,000, foot driveway through environmentally protected lands. Ah, don't worry about it.

Just put the driveway right there. Now, according to the studies, the driveway funnels rainwater to the outskirts of the town causing flooding. Now, that's not all. Apparently, there's loud parties, and the neighbors are pissed. They don't like it. And they say, look, our own chateaus have been made unbearable, and he's got to go. We want him to go.

Now, according to this, he's not going to tear it down yet. It's still there. He's going to take the decision to the European Court of Human Rights. Now, according to people, you know, in their chateaus, his human rights. That's ridiculous. Nobody has violated his human rights. His rights have to be taken into account every step of the way during this legal journey. House is still standing.

Okay. If it's still standing by June of next year, he gets charged $600 a day because it's still up. So maybe you just pay the $600 a day and hope that you can rent it out for, more than $600 a day for TV shows and whatever other parties could go there. And it just stays up. I mean, it's going to be fascinating to see if this house ever gets torn down. Because it's already there. Now, it'd be, you know, maybe in the end you blow it up and just say, there you go.

The house is down and just blow the whole thing up, including the driveway. But it's going to be fascinating to see how long it takes. takes to tear down this house, guarantee you this thing is still there in 10 years. Guarantee. I mean, there's no way this house isn't standing in five years. Let all, I mean, if he takes it to a bigger court and, I mean, that trial, that case is going to go on and on for at least two or three years, right? So you're good then for another couple of years before you're supposed to take it down. and then you just pay the fines and you never take it down. I cannot wait to see the battle of what's going on in the little chateau detour

in the province of France. So last week we talked about how Apple is in the works with Hyundai and Kia to create manufacture their Apple car. and then we find out Hyundai and Kia said we're not in talks with Apple to manufacture a car ooh they probably shouldn't have done that

stock prices went way down so maybe today later on today we'll find out that Hyundai and Kia oh you know what we are in talks with Apple those were those guys over there we didn't know about it we didn't know what we were talking about so sorry, but we are in talks.

So, hey, don't worry about it. We've got that to look forward to, okay? Okay. Another thing to look forward to, we've got the Chinese New Year coming on Friday. We've got the UAE's Hope spacecraft arriving on Mars Tuesday, which, you know, is just around the corner. Oh my gosh. Sunday is Valentine's Day. Holy cow.

Oof, that's a tough one to take. And AstraZeneca's vaccine was shown to offer only minimal protection against the South Africa coronavirus variant. Oh, apparently the country just stopped using it yesterday, so don't worry about it. Now, here in the U.S., Kroger is paying $100 for workers who get vaccinated. that's nice of them. That's really nice of them, don't you think? I mean, that's not as nice as Moscow offering free ice cream for you to get vaccinated. I mean, Kroger's at least giving you $100.

So at the vaccination center in Russia, they're giving out free ice cream. Yeah, I know, if you're in Moscow. So come on, get vaccinated, and then here's an ice cream cone, get out of here. They're doing like 300 people a day. in Moscow. Apparently they want to do more. So they're saying, hey,

come on in and we will get you vaccinated. And sure, we're using our own vaccine, known as Sputnik. Now, they aim to have 60% vaccinated in six months.

We'll see how that works out. Know what I'm saying? I see it in New York, uh, they are offering people Yankees memorabilia some kind of little Yankee stuff

to get vaccinated at Yankee Stadium I mean, okay, if that's what you want, go ahead and do that. I see where this, the newest administration, you know, the Joe Biden

administration, is planning to launch a $1 billion and it's only a billion dollars so I don't know how much you know how much they're going to be able to get a one billion dollar COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign it's not enough they have everybody in the world taking Instagram reels and Facebook lives and TikTok videos of themselves getting vaccinated and wearing masks that's not enough we're going to launch a billion

billion dollar COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign. Okay. I wonder if this program or this podcast network or this television network will get any of the advertising dollars for the COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign, I wonder. I wonder. And another story from Michigan. And another story from Michigan. Yes, and I'm sure that the drinking was going on at this story as well.

A 26-year-old Michigan man was killed over the weekend. Horrible story by an explosion at a baby shower. So apparently he had a small cannon that he had fired off a couple of times and he had used it. He bought it as a novelty item. He bought it at an auction. And this time they, I guess, put too much gunpowder in it. And they wanted to, you know, create the big flash and loud noise and smoke that, you know, the cannon does.

But when they fired it off Saturday, it blew up and sent shrapnel. flying into three parked vehicles and a garage where guests were congregated striking the victim and, you know, he lost his life, which really, really, really, you can quote me on this, man, does that suck?

He most certainly did not do that. It was a gender reveal party and he wanted to, you know, be a part of the big party and fire off the cannon. But I'm guessing, This is just a, you know, just a guess on my part. This could not be true, although I believe that it is. We talked about how people in Michigan were heavy drinkers earlier in this broadcast.

And it's very possible that these people at this party were partaking in, you know, alcohol. And so it may have played a role. in putting too much gunpowder in this cannon and then firing off the cannon. Now it's horrible that the guy lost his life. Horrible. But, I mean, can we not maybe fire off cannons?

I mean, I want him to fire off the cannons in Tampa when the, you know, when the bucks won the Super Bowl, hello, the NFL wouldn't let him fire the cannons. Although I will say it sounded like they were firing them off. at the end of the game last night, which was what I had requested. I wanted them to fire those bad boy cannons off if and when they won, which they did.

So it would still be, you know, after the game. But I'm sure the NFL said it's still our event. The entire thing is our event. And we don't want those cannons going off to make it seem like a home game. Well, it... was a home game. So maybe we just kind of go with that.

But no. No, no, no. We can't do that. I digress, though, from cannon firing. Don't forget about the lady that died. Another lady lost their life. Another person lost their life in Iowa at a gender reveal party. When they made this homemade explosive device that was supposed to spray powder,

But instead blew up? I mean, okay. If we're going to have the gender reveal parties, which is questionable in my humble opinion as it is. But I've been a part of a gender reveal party. And this is how dangerous the one I was at was. Was we let out balloons. I know.

I know. It was horrific. We opened a box and the balloons were pink, so we knew that it was a girl. Don't look at me. I know pink should not be the designated color, how dare us, but pink represented a female, and blue was going to represent a male, and it was pink balloons that were inside the box. So that's how dangerous it was. And I will say this, just like Iowa and Michigan.

some of the balloons exploded and shrapnel was fired everywhere some of us many of us in the crowd had balloon shrapnel on us we weren't we weren't scared for our lives but apparently we should have been

so I'm really bummed that I did not get this amber alert so I find out that last week I guess it was dated January 31st, 20, 21. Texas Alerts system accidentally sent out an Amber Alert that was supposed to be just a test. They were testing their system

and they even apologized. They said, hey, it was actually a test. We were running on the server. It accidentally went out. We appreciate you reaching out to us to verify this. We do apologize for this. inconvenience to you.

Oh, that's so special. But I wish I would have gotten this. I get the Amber Alerts. I'm really bummed. So the Amber Alert had Chuckie and his child. Man, I would have loved

to have seen that. That is hilarious. So I guess the test, I mean, it's a good thing that they are testing the system, right? But maybe someone should have double-checked that it wasn't actually being sent out just because, but it's nice of them to have some sort of sense of humor, and at least the test isn't of, I mean, if you saw that, right, and you realize that's not a real Amber Alert.

So you're just like, what's going on? Well, they send me a Chuckie, Amber Alert. because if it was another face of a kid, then they'd have to say, we apologize, this isn't a real child, this is, you know, Millie's child, Betty, it's not an Amber Alert, and police were sent out,

and everything is fine. Now it's just, hey, you know, it was Chuckie, sorry. I mean, I love, I have, we have so many Chuckie Dows in my house. My gosh, my daughter has been in love with Chuckie since, well, since she was a little baby. Now, when John grew up, came to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There's another Buccaneer story. We were around Super Bowl time. He was nicknamed Chuckie. And we got these Chuckie Dows to give away at the radio station. And we gave away a bunch. And then they created these John Gruden Chucky Dowls. And I had some in my garage when my daughter was real little. And we opened up the box and there's the Chucky Dowls.

And she fell in love. with this doll and she didn't know she does now obviously she's 13 years old she does now you know understands what chucky is but at that time it didn't matter you know to the adults everybody was like oh chucky man no that's a horror thing what are you doing it's like she doesn't know she just likes the doll so i mean we have i got chucky dows coming out of chucky dows plus we got the whatever the girl Chuckie Dow is, we've got her and the whole kitten caboodle of

Chuckie World at my house, all because I opened that damn John Gruden Chuckie doll box in the garage with my daughter out there when she was real little and she just fell in love with that stupid Amber Alert or she's fell in love with

that damn Chuckie, which makes me really disappointed that I wanted to get the Amber Alert that had Chuckie on it. So I'm really bummed. So if Texas Alert System could send that out again to me, that would be great. Thank you. All right. So I got an email. I got, well, I got an email sent to chewing the fat and I got an email sent to another email address from the same person this weekend. So I received two of them. There was the same email though. So it must be serious. From an Albert Routen, R-U-I-T-E-N,

the email address was SS0623 at potato 3.hockey.net. So you know it's got to be real. The subject line was complement of the day. So it must be serious. And the email reads, and I'll read it word for word. I'm getting it and I'm really excited about it. I am staff of bank here in the Netherlands attached in private banking services. I will be very glad if you do assist me to relocate this sum of $10,995,720 to your account for the benefit of our both families.

I am prepared to place you in a position of the beneficiary and release the deposit to you. as the closest surviving partner. Upon receipt of the deposit, I will share the money with you in ratio. This means I will simply nominate you as the beneficiary and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 40-50, then 10% will be set aside in case of any expenses come in.

This is a genuine business, only I cannot operate it alone without using a form, who will stand as a beneficiary to the money, which is why I decided to contact you in a good manner to assist me and also to share the benefit together with me. By indicating your interest, IA will send you the full details on how the business will be executed. Please keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested. My only contacts email is and it's a different email than what it was sent from. Regards Heinrich Albert Rutan.

So the proceeds are going to be shared 40-50. So, I mean, it's 5.5 million minus 10%. So you're looking at, you know, just under $5 million, maybe $4 million. I mean, that seems like a pretty good deal. But just to hook up and reply to the email, so I'm waiting for a response for my email address to see what I have to do so that we can share the proceeds because this can't be fake. It has to be real.

And I'll leave you with a tweet that I received. It's a video from a TikTok account at Elite Motorworks. and this man is having a meeting with his employees at the automotive shop, and he's telling them what words in the automotive industry are now banned. And I think it's important that we all know these words because we don't want to use them at all. And so I'm just going to play the video for you, and then you can remind yourself what words to use and not use in today's world. Okay. Okay, good.

This meeting will be really quick. There's some terms in the automotive industry that we're just no longer allowed to use. I'm going to run down the list so we're very clear on what we cannot say. We cannot say male connectors, female connectors, dykes, foreman, manager, hose, surclip, stud, still waiting to see if we can say bunghole, helicoil, nuts, nipples, jugs, shaft, Jack, Chuck, rear-end, undercarriage, skirt, and for now on, tranny fluid will be known as gender-neutral shift juice. Thanks, guys. I just thought it was important that we all know words we can and cannot say anymore.
