When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just $39.99? How could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?

Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I posted a story yesterday from a small Texas city where a lady found $21,000 in a subway bathroom. And I'm still frustrated about the whole story.

So she finds $21,000 in a subway bathroom, turns it in since she's the only one in the bathroom and nobody saw her pick up the money. And no one knows who left the money. She turns it in. And somehow the police department got involved. And the guy who left the money there, who, I mean, who leaves $12.000. $21,000 in a subway bathroom. Come on now. You deserve to have it lost.

But anyway, good for this lady for turning it in. And the guy comes back to the subway and says, hey, I, you know, looking for my money that I left in the bathroom. And then another part of the story that makes me upset is the police department wants to know why he has 21,000. A, none of your business. You prove that it's yours. You're the only one that came back for it, so it's your money.

But I guess he was going to buy a car, a used car, and needed the cash. And so they gave it back to him. And he gave the lady who found the $21,500 as a reward. Okay. So I'm just frustrated with the whole thing. I don't like the idea of the police department asking why, but I guess since they were there and it was turned into them, They had to know why.

And was he really buying a car with $21,000 in the bathroom of a subway before he goes to buy the car? I find that hard to believe. And I also find it hard to believe that someone would turn it in. You found $21,000 in a subway bathroom. That $21,000 now belongs to me, the person who found the $21,000 in a subway bathroom. A subway bathroom, let alone, I'm guessing it was the old unisex bathroom at the local subway since he was in there prior to she who found it. So the whole thing is just agonizing. Agonizing.

But hey, follow me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. Welcome, welcome to chewing the fat. Another story that has got something else going on with it. I just, I can't figure out what it is, and I don't know that it really matters, but it's just been driving me insane. So a couple days ago, a story runs across the wire that two nude sunbaters on a remote beach in Australia, the southern coast, reportedly got startled by a deer, ran into a nearby national forest, got lost, had to call the police to rescue them, and then were fined for breaking. COVID lockdown orders. So,

I'm not, there's something else going on here. I don't know what it is. I just, there's something else going on. So they're on a nude beach. They get startled by a deer. They run into the forest and get lost, but they still have their stuff. Apparently one of them was wearing a backpack.

And the other one, by the point the police got there, were partially closed. So they were able to, track down where they were on a walking trail after, you know, placing their emergency call. They said that it was pretty unbelievable. The police commissioner had that to say because not only did they require assistance, they also received a ticket for breaking the new lockdown rules in the Sydney region because of the Delta variant and will maybe get.

and do a little bit of that as the show progresses. But, you know, the police there are enforcing this new mandate, and they've already handed out at the time of this story, 44 fines, because of the new travel limitations for residents in Sydney. So that's, you know, a complete aside from the two guys who were nude sunbathing on the remote beach and then were styled by a deer. and ran into the National Park where they got lost and had to call police to rescue them. I just, there's something, there's something going on here.

And it isn't nude sunbathing on the beach. I guarantee you that. You know, last week I did a story that mentioned North Korea having officially confirmed zero COVID-19 cases. And in that story, and that was just, the headline on Fat Pile Friday, but I, there was a picture of him in the story. And I thought, wow, he looks a little thinner. And I thought, now that's just the angle. That's the way they're shooting. That's the lens. Well, now we're getting reports that he is significantly thinner.

He's, you know, the pictures that they're seeing of him, the, the, the, what they're showing. He is seriously thinner than he has been. And now they're concerned. And now they're concerned. concerned about his health and what's going on with him. And apparently North Koreans are heartbroken because they believe that he is working himself to the bone to make North Korea better. Oh, okay, that's great because, you know, the people are starving there. They're calling the food situation there tense because of, the typhoons that came through because of all the economic issues revolving around north korea and so you know they're having a few problems there and so he's starting to lose some weight at the

they they're pushing the idea that he's working himself to the bone for the country now of course others are saying that uh you know his health is an issue and what's going on he's 37 years old, what's going to happen, and of course, the local resident interviewed by North Korean state TV, of course that would be real, right, was distressed by the images of leader Kim Jong-un's significant weight loss. And he, no, they also know that, you know, foreign countries and powers are always watching whether Kim is healthy or not because he hasn't appointed a successor. I think he has appointed a successor. That's his sister.

Right. Now, this would play into the fact that he's already dead. This is just a new replacement for Kim to pretend that he's still alive, but the sister is running the country. I'm just saying, if we're going to

throw everything out there, let's throw it out there and let's see where we're at. Because North Korea is in a tough spot. And, you know, Maybe if he's dead and the sister takes over, but what happens to the country after that? So I guess we have to kind of pretend that he's still alive. And so, okay, we'll say that we can't find a person that looks like him anymore.

So we'll just say when he's lost some weight and here's the new one. I guess. I'm just as good with that. maybe Kimmy has decided that he needs to you know settle down a little bit and lose a little bit of the LBs because he was starting to, you know, have trouble walking around.

He was walking with a cane. He probably has been partying too much. And now he has to really, you know, buck up a little because the country is in real trouble. We shall see. We shall see. But just know that it's possible. He's already dead.

Did you swear Jewel, the e-cigarette company, agreed to pay $40 million to one state, North Carolina, yesterday, to settle allegations that its marketing efforts targeted teens? Wow. As part of the agreement, it will abandon any marketing content that appeals to young people and only sell its products behind the counter in the state. Oh, wow. Okay. E-cigrate use among teens shot up by more than 70% after Jules' launch in 2015.

And by 2019, more than a quarter of American teens had tried vaping. And Jules' slick flash drive-like devices were widely used. you know, in schools. And so the giant tobacco company Marlboro Bought 35% stake in Jewel in 2018. Jewel was valued then at $38 billion. That is, that's huge. I mean, that makes them worth, at the time anyway, worth more than Target and Airbnb. Anyway, it's just that same year.

The FDA called teen vaping an epidemic. Started its crackdown on Jewel and other E-cigarette companies. So, Jewel insisted that the products were intended for adults, and its marketing strategies, according now for sure, you know, said otherwise. They released fruit-flavored pods and went viral among teens. It's pulled most flavors since. It recruited influencers with huge teen followings on social media, advertise the brand. Plastered ads on Homework Solutions website, so students solving the for X would

accidentally click on them. That's a pretty good idea, actually. And now they're facing, you know, regulatory challenges around its advertising strategy. Its valuation is now only worth $10 billion. Oh, man. And it is, as of last summer, it's facing 758. lawsuits across the United States. Wow. And the FDA is going to rule, we don't know when, whether the product can even remain on the market. Come on now. This is still America. You get to have a product and put it on the market. And if people want it, they get to buy it. That's capitalism. Oh, wait. Capitalism is something that's bad. According to a new survey, a majority of young adults in the U.S.

have a more negative view of capitalism. As according to a new survey from Axios and Momentum, 54% of Gen Z adults said they have a negative view of capitalism. Huh. Huh. I wonder why that is. The number of 18 to 34-year-olds who have a positive view of, of capitalism also appears to be shrinking.

49% said they had a positive view of capitalism, and 46% said they viewed it negatively. Wow. Okay. Wow, that's just incredible to me that we have a negative view on capitalism. I mean, the overall view on capitalism is still in the plus, with 57% of Americans saying they had a positive. view of capitalism. That's only 57% of Americans having a positive view of capitalism, in my view. And they said 36% said they now had a negative view. So, I mean, so you have, what, 7 or 8% of Americans as usual? I don't know. Okay. Thank you for participating in our survey.

Take care. I mean, it also showed that in this same survey, 41% of respondents said they had a positive view of socialism. 41% of respondents said they had a positive view of socialism. I would also like to ask them if they knew exactly what that was. It's not just talking to each other over social media. Okay. Let's be clear on that. Wow.

Seeing surveys like that could mean that we are in a lot of trouble here in America. And some would think that. Some would think that. Not me. No, no, no, no, no. Hey, no. So, I mean, only 57% of Americans have a positive view of capitalism. and 41% of respondents said they have a positive view of socialism?

No, no. How could that mean that the country is in trouble? You are just silly. Before we head to the break room, just a quick update on what's happening in Surfside, Florida. With the building collapse, we have 11 people pulled from the rubble so far. And we have still 100.

150-ish unaccounted for and they're still digging out the rubble. There's a number of things that, you know, we can at least get a little hope from. They have not given up hope with the rescue effort as it reaches its fifth day. They're talking about a suspected failure point has emerged at the collapsed condo. There was an inspector there a couple days before the, building collapsed and he took pictures of the pool equipment room which had corroding rebar in the concrete and exposed concrete slabs and it did not uh did not look good uh he talked about an employee saying that they went through pool pumps every couple of years because they had to

pump out all this extra water there was standing water in the parking garage below the pool and they were saying that, you know, that's why they were getting ready for this restoration project that was getting underway for the building. He, they, cracking in the concrete was noted and then, uh, he saw that, again, the basement level garage. And it looks like it was a design flaw in this building, or at least definitely along with the design flaw, the design flaw neglected maintenance of the building. And, you know, the head of the condo association and maintenance has not spoken from the building. I know they're talking about, uh, inspecting all of the buildings. Uh, I don't even, let alone in surfside, but all along the coast of Florida now.

I told you yesterday, if you were looking for a gig, go down to Florida and tell them you're an inspector. Of course, you need to be an inspector. I'm not saying just, you know, pretend you're an inspector. I'm not saying just, you know, pretend you're an inspector and show up and take a look at these buildings. But, you know, if you need a gig, you got to do what you got to do. But they're saying now that it definitely could have caused the, you know, the building to fall. However, even though they say the corrosion of the rebars at the bottom of the beam was very serious and it was the worst damage that many people, many engineers had seen and documented in the building so far, the equivalent, the building so far, the equipment room runs runs along the southern wall of the building that's an area that did not collapse so

now what do you got well the one engineer cautioned us to don't rush to judgment and conclude that all the beams in the building showed similar levels of damage to expose because they were not exposed to chemicals from the pool however structural damage to concrete in the garage under the pool deck didn't include photos of anything, uh, nearly as alarming as what was under the pool. And of these buildings that are asymmetrical like this one, there's a possibility that if you have one part of the building that collapses,

the building does some turning and twisting. In this case, it is possible that a failure, any place in the building could cause distortion to the frame of the building and could cause collapse in any of, the areas not just adjacent to the failure. So we'll see. We'll see somebody is going to be paying some big, big dollars to make this.

Well, it can never go away. But, I mean, right now, even if you were to say give, you know, a million dollars a person to a family, you're looking at a couple hundred million. Well, I mean, 161 million. and, you know, no way that you're going to end up giving just a million dollars to each family. And plus, who's responsible? Is it the Condominium Association? Is it the city?

Because their inspectors have said okay to this? Because the Condominium Association was already involved in a rehab. You know, we're trying to fix it up. Did they do it too late? hasn't been overlooked. Was it the state inspectors that came in and said, yeah, it's fine, just do a little touch up here and there and make it happen. Who looked the other way all these years?

I don't know, but it's just, it's going to be a long and tedious process. And in the meantime, we've got, you know, way too many human lives to be concerned about. And so, I mean, they, some, aside from just these towers, the Champlain towers, looking at the other buildings is not a bad idea, and looking at it with a good, sharp eye to these buildings,

and you can bet they're going to be doing that now. That is for sure. It's the matchat or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the fact that I've been to denishé that me energize o'clock. It's all over. The form of standard

and mini, regrouped, and the embellage, too beau, who is practically pre to donate. And I know that I'd I'd have they offer them. But I guard

the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I'm sure. The most ensemble of the fairos desks of

Cephora. Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, Cephora Collection and other part of the video. Procurre you

for a great quality of price, on link on C4. or in a magazine. All right, let's go

longer than a little update. Let's go to the break room and get something cold to drink, shall we? Oh my gosh.

That is good. So this story has really made me lose my mind because I've been singing Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones. Have a yabba-dabba-doo time. A dabba-do time for about, I don't know, the last 24 hours. So this home in Northern California in Hillsboro, the town of Hillsborough, which is just south of San Francisco, California, has a Flintstone theme to it. It's got dinosaur replicas.

It's got unique shape memorabilia. It's got a big sign that says yabababoo. And the city said, ooh, yeah, no, we cannot have any of that. We want this shutdown. This has got to go. She didn't ask for any of these upgrades. She didn't get any permits.

We're suing. So the home was designed by this William Nicholson in the 70s and was vacant for several years before this lady, Florence Fang, purchased the house for $2.8 million. And it had purple and red domes on it, I guess, but the statues of Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, and other characters from the iconic. franchise. But when Fang then began adding dinosaurs and Flintstone statues, along with the sign of yabababoo, the city was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, we're suing you. Well, Fang said, uh, no, I'm suing you. How about that? And I'm suing you for racial discrimination because I'm Chinese. and so how about that city of Hillsborough or town or whatever you are? Well, they've come to a deal and they've reached what they're calling an amicable resolution to the case

and the satisfaction to all the parties and what happened? I guess she keeps everything. In fact, she keeps everything and they're going to pay her $125,000 to cover all the costs associated with the lawsuit. The only thing she has to do is apply for permits for the home's exterior that they said they will guarantee approving once she filed. So they just want to have the permits on file. So Flintstones, meet the Flintstones. Yeah, they're a place right out of history. Think about it.

Yeah. No kidding. Florence Fang is sitting on top of the world. Now, do you want that next door to your home? Okay, maybe, maybe not. I know the HOA is not admitting it in my neighborhood, but bless Florence Fang's heart. Okay, did you see where an Iowa man was arrested this past weekend

for threatening to blow up a McDonald's? Now, he threatened to blow up the McDonald's because a worker forgot to add dipping sauce to his, order. How many times? Who among us hasn't thought, I'm going to blow this place up? Now, originally, I thought, this guy's just out of his mind. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a 42-year-old man, Robert Goldwitzer, and he's accused of calling in the explosive threat early Saturday night when he ordered chicken McNuggets from the fast food restaurant. And in addition to the bomb threat, he allegedly sent over the phone that he would punch a

worker. Okay, so he's pissed that he didn't get his sauce and he calls back up and he says, I'll blow the place up and I'll punch you in the face. So, and he admitted, I guess the police called him and he admitted over the phone allegedly that, you know, and later at the precincts to making the threats. Yeah, I called him. I said, yeah, I'll blow you out and I'll punch you in the face. I didn't mean it. I was just pissed. He's being charged now. false report of explosive or incendiary device. Okay. Come on now.

The guy's pissed. And he calls up to McDonald's and says, I'll blow you up. I'll punch you in the face. Why do you always forget my dipping sauce? And when the police call, I guess the police know who he is. It's a small town in Iowa.

so they call him up and say, hey, Bob, did you call? Yeah, I called. Yeah, I called. I said I'd punch him in the face and I'd blow the place up. I want my dipping saws. Is he going to do it? No. Come on now.

The police have got to have a little common sense here. But, hey, he's charged with, again, false report of explosive or incendiary device. so pay the fine Bob move on I know we have serious mental health issues with plenty of people on the street these days we have the report about the lady in New York that went on this racist rant

against a black woman inside this Brooklyn, New York pizzeria. Now there's no video that I've seen of her on this rant there's a picture of her leaving the pizza place but I haven't seen any video of the action rant, but, you know, I'll believe that it happened. They say that an unnamed suspect reportedly approached this mom, her five-month-old infant, and her four-year-old son, and began hurling insults at them. At one point, it's reported that she dumped red pepper flakes on the face of the baby girl,

and, you know, okay, she's out of her mind. She's crazy. The adult victim, who asked that the press withhold her name. said, okay, we don't want to know who you are. Why? I wonder why she doesn't want people to know who she is because she's a private citizen at the pizza shop, Jeff, and she was attacked. Okay, I'll give you that. So she says that this lady approached her family while they were buying pizza and nastily told her to F your baby, N-word. I mean, she's clearly out of her mind. The woman then reportedly turned to the four-year-old, referred to him as an N-word and told him, get out of this country. So she's clearly out of her mind. The victim said that she turned to leave, and that's when the woman threw red pepper flakes

into the child's face. I was very shocked because it's New York City, the woman said. I didn't even make eye contact with her. When I was paying for the pizza, I heard someone talking outside the store. The woman came up behind me, picked up the pepper and threw it back at her. And I picked up the pepper and threw it back at her. Oh, okay. The woman said that when she reported the incident, the cops, they said the suspect was possibly off her medications. Yeah.

You know, maybe, but the cops are, you know, they're looking into it. And in fact, it's being investigated by the hate crimes task force. Okay. Now, they released a video of the one, which one I saw of the suspect leaving the pizzeria because they want to know, you know, her identity and have a talk with her.

no one was hurt during the incident. The woman who, again, did not want to be identified, this was her quote. As a melanaded woman, a lot of times people tried to dismiss us. People tried to dismiss our voices. We need to be protected. We all have some kind of degree of stress going on.

That should be an excuse. if the tables were turned and she was a black woman, the police would use that as an excuse. I can't tell you how angry that makes me. Because if the tables were turned, we would need the off-her medications excuse. It would just be that it was okay. And nothing happened.

And the woman is just upset over years of systemic racism and we'll look into it and we're looking for the woman. Wouldn't be the hate crimes task force looking into it. But I'm guessing you already know that as a melanated woman. Black Friday is here at IKEA and the clock is ticking on savings you won't want to miss.

Love Island, yeah, it's a CBS reality show, and it's in season two. And Shannon Singh wants people to believe that she has this outrageous amount of sex. Now, she said, hey, I have sex like eight times a day. Not every day, but I have a lot of sex, and I'm very sexually active. I quite like a bit rough and tough, and I kind of like it rough, and I love a bit of morning sex. I love it.

Oh. Okay. So we should make sure that we watch Love Island, or should we make sure that we follow you on Instagram? Or should we make sure that we follow you on your only fans account, which are all promoted in this story? So do I believe that she has, I believe that it's possible that one time in her life,

she had sex eight times in a day? Do I believe that it happens multiple times? No. No, I do not. Shannon is 22 years of age, a model from Scotland. She, you know, has her Instagram account, which has, I think she has a couple hundred thousand followers. I'm not sure what her Instagram, how many followers she has on Instagram, easy enough to find out for sure. Let's see, how many followers do Shannon have on Instagram?

232,000 followers. And we'll look back as the Love Island show. continues, which of those followers will continue to grow. And what she really cares about is the only fans account, because that's making her some cash. So, yes, she wants to promote, hey, I have sex eight times a day. Come over to my only fans account, would you? Sure thing, Shannon, I am on my way. You can count on me.

I'm there. Congratulations to the transgender. woman who captured the Miss Nevada USA pageant. The title of Miss Nevada USA has gone to a transgender woman for the first time in pageant history. What? Yes, I know. Cataluna Enriquez was crowned the winner in the pageant at the South Point Hotel, Casino, in Las Vegas, and will continue to compete for the title of Miss USA.

Enrique has competed against 21 other candidates to represent Nevada in the Miss USA pageant, which is going to be held on November 29th. She's following her Miss Silver State USA win in March. She reflected on what the title meant to her. One thing that is important to me is inclusivity, diversity, and representation. It's something I did not have growing up and is still lacking in today's world. Is it? Is it? Okay.

Whatever. Personally, I've learned that my differences do not make me less than. It makes me more than. I am a proud transgender woman of color. Congratulations. Congratulations to Cataluna and Riequez as being the Miss Nevada USA. That's an incredible achievement. And she's not she, he, they, them, her, them, it.

It's not that bad looking. I don't know if Catalina has gone through the 100% body change being transgender. But, I mean, it's change enough, I guess. Oh, and last week we talked about how Indiana Jones 5 was going to continue filming as Harrison Ford recouped from his injury. The 78-year-old Harrison Ford hurt his shoulder, and they were going to still film scenes and then do the scenes with Harrison Ford once he's recovered. We don't, apparently the hurting of his shoulder is a little bit more severe than we had first been. been told about because the production for the movie is being shut down for at least six weeks. So Harrison better do some rehab, do some rehab quick and get back to it because it's costing the company a lot of money.

So the production has now stopped for Indiana Jones 5 and we'll see if we get back to it in six weeks. It's an awful lot of money. So, okay. Good luck. God bless, Harrison. There is a picture of him on the set here. And he looks great. He looks great.

So get back to it. Harrison, get back to it. And speaking of movies, you know, I saw a thread this weekend on Twitter, which you can follow me at Jeffrey JFR. And I was told, hey, don't answer this question. but I don't know where it started. I just know I saw it throughout the weekend on several different threads. What are five movies?

You are confident you've seen at least 10 times. And I'm thinking about all these movies that I've watched, not including the ones that, you know, that I'm not supposed to answer. But I see one of the five movies was, you know, listed from, one of my Twitter people, Rex Chapman, Zoolander, Cape Fear, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox story. That's from Rex Chapman. Hey, I don't know that I can, you know, I don't know that I could say those movies are me.

But I will say that one of the threads, one of the posts in the thread said, if three of these five aren't kid movies, my assumption is that you haven't had kids. Right. So you've got to get rid of, you know, the adult movies that you've seen more than 10 times. And you've got to get rid of the kid movies. Because there's, I mean, if you have kids, you've watched those Disney movies and or any kids movies a thousand times. Because that's what you do as a parent. You just put it on. That's your babysitter.

Oh, wait. We're not supposed to admit that. Oh, okay. No problem. And one of them even joked as a reply to the, that post. I've chosen not to include the 12,657 times. I've seen Disney's Hercules. Right. So, I mean, that's a tough one. That is a really tough question because top five, there's only five. I mean, I know there's, I mean, dozens of movies that I've seen more than

10 times. Wow. That's, I mean, that doesn't even count, you know, series, binging show series, right? Where you've seen, come on now. And there's certain episodes of shows that I love. There's a couple of soprano episodes, and I'll just sit down and watch those. I've seen those. I can't tell you how many times. There's one episode of The Closer that I love. It is one of my favorite TV episodes of all time.

I've watched that, you know, a thousand times. Just because you sit down and you're eating lunch and you put the episode on. So that doesn't even count those. This question is about, movies. Oh my gosh. So that's a tough one. That's a tough one. Godfather, parts one and two is one post from someone. Yeah. Easy. Easy. There's plenty of movies on here that are, you know, Worth. Gladiator. Hello. Gladiator. And some movies, no way. You know, like one list here has repo man trading places i've seen that movie more than ten times blazing saddles valley girl wow valley

girl that's an old call uh wizard of oz um you know wizard of oz have you seen that more than ten times sure is it is it would it be in the top ten and no repo man wow i mean i i know i've seen that movie maybe twice not more than ten trading places easy on the list easy That's a tough, tough question. I've been dealing with that. I've been struggling with that question all weekend long since I saw the actual question, what are five movies you're confident you've seen at least 10 times? There's a lot more than five.

Now, isn't it, couldn't they just, I know that it's Pride Month and we've got to throw it out there. We've all got to be, you know, part of the movement to market to the LGBTQIA plus Americans

for Pride Month and beyond. But couldn't we just say that football is accepting? Football is everything. Football is for everyone. Isn't that really what true? But we've got to break it down because, you know, Carl Nassum came out as gay last week, so it's part of the deal. And he came out saying that he was going to give money to the Trevor Project. And, of course, the NFL is doing the same thing.

So I went to the Trevor Project and I was looking at the, you go to their, to their website, and they have a whole national, survey on LGBTQ youth mental health in 2021. It's pretty incredible if these numbers are actually true. But, I mean, really, they give a number for you to call if you, you know, have suicidal thoughts and are, you know, struggling mentally, which is good. I got, I got no problem with that.

I mean, it's important that we do that. Isn't it? Their homepage has a toll-free number, 1866-486-487386, the Trevor Lifeline. So they say that they have trained counselors that are ready to support you 24-7. If you're a young person in crisis, feeling suicidal or in need of a safe and

judgment-free place to talk, call the Trevor Lifeline. 866-486-487386. 100% behind that. 100%. There's a few other things that I'm not real sure I'm behind the Trevor Project. But, you know, of course, we've all got to be in love with it. And I know one of the things that part of the Trevor Project does is they support Black Lives Matters. because you can't be a project without supporting Black Lives Matter.

So I guess the Chewing the Fat project isn't a decent project. I apologize because I believe that all lives matter. And football is for everyone or anyone who likes the sport. But since I say that and I don't specifically. say that, you know, I'm for Black Lives Matter than I'm a bad person, I guess. I mean, they talk about their line for Black Lives Matter

when you go to the page, their statement about Black Lives Matter. They mention here in their statement that all people are not free today. We see so much injustice, and we know that far too many of us have been silent for too long about the way black people are treated in this country. Okay, all people are not free today. Around the world? Absolutely agreed. In the United States of America, wrong. Unequivocally wrong. But that's just the tuning the fat project. That's not the Trevor project. So I know.

I know. My main point, though, listen, if you actually do have an issue, call the number at the Trevor hotline. [phone]. Get help. Most importantly, get help. But just be sure that you don't believe everything you're told. Wait, that's wrong.

That doesn't work. All right. I don't think I'm helping. But they can. And if you're a young person in Christ, feeling suicidal or in need of a safe and judgment free place to talk call the Trevor lifeline 1866 488-8-7386 which reminds me that the chewing the fat crisis hotline is one two one four one four seven three five nine three five six you just leave a voicemail

and we will try to help you out if we can. I haven't given that number out in a long time. 1214-7359356 is the voicemail for chewing the fat. And for example, this voicemail just came in not long ago to the Chewing the Fat hotline voicemail crisis line. Hey, Jeffie. Hey, man, this is not from Western. North Carolina.

And I just listened to the podcast last Friday about the National Parks. Right. And I just wanted to say, man, you got these dudes coming in from out of town. They're smoking that gorilla, dude, out there over the woods looking for a big foot.

You know what I'm saying? You can't count these guys in your death tolls. Oh, okay. I get that. But, I mean, we still have to count them in the death tolls. I mean,

we put an asterisk next to their names if we know that they were actually smoking the gorilla glue and they were out there, you know, specifically looking for the Bigfoot. But until then, we can put, you know, we have to still count them as part of the death toll out there in the national parks. Sorry, I'm not going to ask just the way it is. But I appreciate the call. Thank you. And I appreciate you listening to chewing the.

fat. So, uh, no, really, I do. I appreciate it. And man, do not. If you're out looking for Bigfoot, do not. And this is a helpful hint, uh, from the show and from our listeners, if you're out looking for Bigfoot,

don't smoke the gorilla glue. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you. From festive and cozy fashion to Lux Beauty and Fragrance sets. Our special selection has something for every style and price point. Visit our whole holiday shop and store or online at Holtrenfrew.com.
