So Lyft, Ford, and Argo AI, which is an autonomous driving startup, have teamed up to start offering rides in their self-driving cars in Miami, Florida. So, okay, there you go. Hop in, go for a ride. Well, yeah, there's no driver. Well, you know what, there is going to be a driver. At least for now, the vehicles will be out. outfitted with the self-driving technology,

but you're going to have someone at the steering wheel for safety, are you? Okay. The three companies hope to have self-driving cars operating in Austin and Miami in the next year, and they aim to have a few dozen cars operating in both those cities and up to a thousand on the road across multiple cities within five years. That seems like a small goal. A thousand cars over in what cities? You look at Miami, Austin, Dallas, New York, Chicago, right?

You'd think you'd want more than that. But right now Argo has been testing about 150 vehicles in six American cities already and in Germany. One of the six cities that they've been... Oh, okay, so they're in Pittsburgh, Miami, Austin, Washington, D.C., Detroit, and Palo Alto, and plus they're in Germany. So they've been testing in Austin already, so maybe people are starting to get used to them testing on the roads being used down there. I'll have to ask my son if he's ever taking one of the Argo driverless cars. But they are coming, and they are coming very, very soon. And so you taxi cab drivers and you lift drivers complaining about the deals you're getting,

in the DFW area. And I was wondering, wow, I wonder, I was wondering. I went, I said to myself, said I. I wonder, what about all the people that were on the plane? with him. And are we doing contact tracing with those people because we haven't had any news of any outbreaks from his connection. And they were trying to say that, oh, everyone was wearing a mask. It should be fine. Well, now it comes out that they've been monitoring. And I say they, the CDC, has been monitoring more than 200 people in 27 states for possible exposure to

the monkey pox. Now, they were in contact with. the Texan who contracted the disease when he was in Nigeria earlier this month. Now it takes, I think, seven to 14 days into incubate. So we're probably pretty good. We're probably pretty good. Actually, I said 14. It takes 17 days, but we're probably pretty good because we're looking at, you know, he was traveling on the 8th and 9th of this month.

and today, if you're listening live, is the 22nd of July 2021. So what does that mean? If you ran into him on the 9th, you have 30, oh, you still have four more days. Ooh, oh boy, I don't like that. You either have three or four more days if you came in contact with our man that was in Nigeria and went into Atlanta and then came home to Dallas. Oh, yeah, no. And you can be transmitted through respiratory droplets and body fluids.

So good luck, God bless. Good luck, God bless. I'm happy they're monitoring them, these people, and I'm happening. We're doing the whole contact tracing thing. It doesn't say that these people are, you know, quarantined for the 17-day period, but I'm hoping that the CDC said, you know, hello, Mr. Johnson. Yeah, you know, you ought to maybe not go out and say,

see people. We got this guy. You know that guy that was sitting behind you on the airplane? Yeah, he came down with monkey pox. So, you know how it is. Wait, what? Yeah. So just, we'll talk to you later. But we're going to check back in with you every couple of days now for the next, you know, 17 days. Okay? Okay, then. You have a good day. Thank you. So we'll see if we actually get news that someone else has come down with monkey pox. All right, under the heading of believe it or not, because I don't know that I actually believe it, but what a great story, even if it's a lie. And, you know, it could be.

But a Russian couple claims they spent 10 days hiding in trees without food to escape a bear that was stalking them. Okay. All right. And you think, wow. I mean, what do they do? Just run up a tree and the bear just kind of hung out at the bottom of the tree for eight or nine days and finally gave up. What happened? Was it more than one bear? Well, so Anton and Nina said their vehicle got stuck in a deep puddle in a remote part of this region in Russia. Kamachakata No Kamchatka Kamchatka Kamchatka

Yeah that's what I said Kamchatka Yeah that's what I said That was the region that they were in It's 11 miles from a hot spring That they were visiting Nice, so wonderful and cup-y

So that's when they decided to walk the 11 miles To get a phone signal to call for help And during their walk, they realized, oh, hey, we're being followed by a bear. And the bear was walking behind them. We didn't notice him straight away. He was absolutely silent.

My husband was the first to see the predator. At first, we scared the bear. He moved back, but then he ran after us. At that point, the couple claimed they raced down a hill and climbed a tree near a river. Now, Anton barely escaped the predator. According to Nina, the bear nearly killed her husband. They threw a water bottle at the animal to distract him, and then he climbed the tree.

So thankfully, man, you know, that water bottle works. Against Russian bears. Okay. All right. So I, now according to the couple, hours later, the couple said the bear lunged up the tree at them. And then they beat it back down by throwing a bag. with all their food at it.

I don't know who you know this, but bears can climb trees unless this was just a lazy bear and was like, if this was a Jeffie bear, ah, I don't feel like climbing that tree. I'm going to chase him and run them up the tree a little bit, but I do not feel like climbing that tree.

So after that, the bear, you know, guarded them at the base of the tree for two days. And then he went away, got tired. I said, I don't know, I'm going to get out of here. So they claim that once the bear moved away, the couple dashed down and dashed down the tree and got into the river where the husband almost drowned. The wife pulled him out. The bear then showed up again, at least they think it was the same bear, and started following them.

When it got carried away in the current a little bit of the river, and then the couple reached the other bank of the river, and they were forced to close to close to. climb another tree to stay in that tree for another two days. Okay, no problem. See what I'm saying? I believe this. 100%. So at this point, the couple told the paper that's taking down their notes that they backtracked to their stranded car by climbing through the trees. that trip took six days

there's no way that that happened as soon as they reached the car they heard noises of approaching vehicles I started crying from happiness said Nina when I saw those cars I just couldn't take it I was overwhelmed

now there's been bear attacks in the region in the past year, year or four. But isn't it a coincidence that cars showed up at the end of this 10-day window of Anton and Nina outrunning for the bears? And I got news for you. They climbed it through trees. I know they were, you know, hikers and in shape,

but they were all lovey-dovey and running from the bears. And then they jumped in the river, and the bear was chasing them down the river. and then they got it to another tree, and then they climbed through trees to get to where their car was. And there's no mention of their story in this story, what exactly happened to the bear while they were climbing through the trees? Because I got to believe at some point the bear was like,

oh, they're on the move. You know, they decide to, let's say, wait until one of them falls out of the tree. I mean, a bear's not dumb. Maybe this one is. I don't know. But you tell me. You tell me if you believe that story because I want to raise my hand and say, I don't.

Oh, man. Ten days? No, thank you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 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.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. Oh my gosh. I don't know if I told you this already, but that is good. All right, so we've talked about the one email that I get with, you know, material, and they send headlines and stories of things that are going around on the world. And this one is called The Morning Brew, and they have a bit that they post.

I don't know, I think it's once a week or whatever. It's called Three Headlines and a Lie. I would have titled it Something Else, but they call it Three Headlines and a Lie. I was thinking, there's actually interesting headlines and stories in their post today. So I'll give you the four headlines and you can choose which one is the lie. The incorrect headline. All right. Headline one, Tokyo Olympics.

Plague of oysters threatens key venue. Two, Australian Prime Minister says he didn't, you pooped your pants? I poop my pants. He didn't poop his pants at McDonald's in 1997. Headline number three. HBO paid James Gandalfini. $3 million not to star in the office. Headline number four,

Bon Jovi agrees to write the Tiger King movie soundtrack. All right, there you go. Now, there you have the four headlines, and of course they titled it three headlines and a lie. So which one is a lie? Choose it you can win a brand new. Well, you could just go subscribe to my YouTube channel, the fat with Jeff Fisher.

Yeah, follow me on Instagram or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. Or go ahead and follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. And if you're listening to this right now and you're not a subscriber to this show, what are you doing with your life? Choose the platform you're listening on or go ahead and choose another platform, but subscribe to this show. Yeah, I know. I know.

Yeah, I'm looking at you. Mr. Sneaky Pants, listening to your friend's subscription to Chewing the Fat. when you can just have one yourself and it doesn't cost anything? You're welcome, by the way. So go ahead and make that happen. All right, which one's the lie, which headline? Is it the plague of oysters? Is it the I didn't put my pants?

Is it the give James Gaddelphini, you know, Tony Soprano, $3 million not to be in a show, or Bon Jovi agreeing to write the soundtrack for the movie Tiger King? Huh? wondering. Okay, I'll tell you. It is Bon Jovi agreeing to write the Tiger King movie soundtrack. There's no Tiger King movie yet, but it wouldn't surprise me.

But the Tokyo Olympics plagued by these oysters, it's really incredible what has happened to this plague of oysters. it's where they've been doing their boating, you know, the sea forest waterway in Tokyo Bay, and it's hosted to the canoeing and all the other rolling events that are scheduled for the event. And no one really counted on, I don't know, the oysters. Massive numbers of them had attached themselves to the floats intended to stop the waves, bouncing back across the water and onto the athletes. Wait, the oysters were described.

when puzzled officials began investigating why the floats had started sinking. Solving the problem has been a huge and time-consuming task. Yeah, no kidding. So they've got to find a way to get rid of all these oysters. And they can't have the Olympic athletes eating the oysters because you know what they say about oysters. I know. Oysters make you want to take care of a little business. And they don't want that happening this year at the Olympics.

They want their frowning upon taking care of Olympic business. So they're in trouble. They're in trouble at the Olympics. Speaking of the Olympics, too. Now, I know I predicted that they were going to be canceled, and I still think they might. I mean, we have the news now. Tokyo has hit another six-month high in new COVID-19 cases

one day before the Olympics begin, which they're supposed to begin tomorrow. Now, some of the games have already started. But the worries are growing, and so are the infections. So they had almost 2,000 new cases. And that's the highest since January 15th. We talked yesterday about the composer getting the boot, or I'm sorry, resigning over his past bad deeds. Now the director of the opening ceremonies has, uh, he's actually,

the director of the games. I mean, he was supposed to be directing the opening ceremony and Ben around. He had to be fired because of a Holocaust joke that he made in a comedy show in 1998. Wow. That's incredible. So I guess he's accused, and I guess he probably did since he's gone, of using a joke about the Holocaust in his comedy act. including the phrase, let's play Holocaust.

Now, oh my gosh, we are, we're going back to 1998. And the composer, while what he did was hideous, this was a long time ago as well. I don't have the story in front of me, but, you know, they might as well just cancel. They already been postponed once. I mean, I know we've seen studies where they talk about, There was one poll I saw that talked about 6,000 people, you know, an email poll, but a 6,000 people.

42% said they're less likely to watch the Tokyo Olympics than previous Olympics. They asked if the Olympics should be canceled this year due to COVID-19. 50% of the 6,000 people in this email poll said that it should be a super spreader, and yes, it should be And I know there was protests going on already. Now, they've claimed they're going to continue to do it. But nobody's there. They're not letting any fans in. They're not, you know, they're not got any spectators.

It's just amazing. I'm really surprised that it's going to go on. So I'm still, as of today, the 22nd of July, 2021, the day before the official start of the Olympics, I'm still sticking to my prediction that they canceled. they pull the plug. So if they go about it, then, you know, okay, good deal. Good luck. God bless.

But I don't see it. Now, the next, all that for the headlines are the three headlines and a lie. So the next particular headline was the Australian Prime Minister said he didn't crap his pants at a McDonald's in 1997. Now, what's really funny about that, you think, why would he even, worry about that. It's back in 1997. Well, he's on a radio show,

the KJ show in Australia, and he was being interviewed Scott Morrison, the Prime Minister, and he's the one that brought it up on the show. Jay, can I clear up one thing? Not the Macon. The Macon. The Macon.

It is the biggest urban myth ever. It's hard. True. That's your poo. The Indian McDonald's? It's complete and utter rubbish. I found the whole thing incredibly amusing and we've always

joked about it amongst our team here. I have you. I've been past it on occasion. You want to pop in for a big bag. Oh my God, they die. It is absolute and total rubbish. Oh, yeah.

You're disappointing. I feel like you wanted to come on to clear that. Some of the funniest yarns are the ones that aren't true. Uh-huh. So I just wanted to bring that up. That is not true.

Okay. That makes me believe that it is true. But that is just me. All right. I mean, Prime Minister, I'm all about, you know, I know you're in trouble with, you know, some of your people and your lockdowns and how you've handled the pandemic, but you're on a radio show and you have to bring up that.

That means he's been pissed, man. He's been pissed of people still talk about him pooping his pants at McDonald's in 19. 1997. And he's still bad about it. That's hilarious. And he wants to bring it up on a radio interview. I just want to bring it up. Okay. All right. And the James Gandalfini, $3 million to not star in the office. Absolutely true. They, you know, was part of the, apparently on the Talking Sopranos podcast, which, you know, how come I'm not? not on that podcast. Give me a call. Let me know. It was explained that Gandalfini was supposed to star as the new boss on the office. And I think before James Spader and after Steve Carroll, they offered him they say here, four million and HBO paid him three million not to do it. They offered him four million for the gig and HBO paid him three million not to do it. So they wanted to keep

the legacy of the Sopranos pure. Wow. Yeah, we, We want you to be Tony Soprano. I mean, he could have been Tony Soprano. Well, I mean, he actually was Tony Soprano for the entirety of his life after that. But that's just sad. I'll let that one go. So way back on June 7th of this year, the FDA approved a breakthrough medication for Alzheimer's disease. And at the time, I mean, it kind of marked a new era in treating the leading cause of

dementia and the six leading cause of death in the U.S. But the approval of the drug called Adelm, A-D-U-H-E-L-M, met with a bunch of criticism and, but just, you know, there was all kinds of scandal that undermined the integrity of the agency's approval process for new treatments. And then backlash continued. And then influential hospitals, the Cleveland Clinic,

NYC's Mount Sinai Health Systems and Providence in Washington State said they wouldn't administer the drug, citing concerns over its effectiveness and its safety. So instead, the agency fast-tracked it, arguing that the benefits of treating a devastating disease like Alzheimer's outweigh the risks. An Alzheimer drug hasn't been approved by the FDA in 18 years. some experts who helped the FDA evaluate, Atoam, protested the decision. Harvard Medical School professors, a third member of the 11-person advisory panel

to resign in the wake of the FDA's approval, said it was probably the worst drug approval decision in recent U.S. history. So if you have someone struggling with Alzheimer's and they want to use this drug, I don't know what to tell you. The effectiveness was, one of the big concerns along with the side effects, which include brain swelling, brain

bleeding. I just did, though. That's it. Don't worry about it. And it's going to cost $56,000. That seems like a lot of money. Plus, you're going to have to pay for tests, you know, looking for the side effects. Oh, okay.

Thank you. No problem. Now, I'm not sure. I guess the 56 grand is for a year. So it's only 56,000 a year. Right? Right. It's only the 56,000 a year.

I mean, it could be actually more than that. So I guess coming up, the FDA chief has ordered a federal investigation to explore the relationship between the scientists and the drug. drug maker biogen. Good luck. You know, we'll see how that goes. They're already administering it and they're expecting a high demand. Yeah, because if you've got Alzheimer's, you're willing to give it a shot. Because if you don't get the side effects and it works, that's good news.

I know. I know. I get it. It's just like another shot that they want everyone to get. Are the possible side effects worth the possible goodness of the outcome? I mean, I talked about it this morning during Pat Unleased. I've been filling in for Pat all week who's on vacation. So I'm doing Pat Unleashed and I'm doing my show here too as well, chewing the fat.

And I talked about, I listened to an interview of a guy that got really sick with COVID-19. and he was a, you know, he was a big anti-vaxxer. And, you know, he didn't want to get it. You didn't want the government telling him what to do. He thought the COVID-19 was overblown. And then he got sick. And he, it's been, the interview happened when he was at the four-week mark. And he was just coming around.

And he said he'd never been sick like that before. And that there were a couple of days. I think there was like one. full day and a partial of another day where he actually thought he was going to die. That's how sick he was. And he said he went to the dock at the urgent care and they

said, yep, you've got COVID and go home and take a bunch of Tylenol and a lot of fluids and sleep and do the best you can. So that's it? I mean, what about hydroxychloroquine or something? Right? I mean, that I'd be a little I was a little upset about that. I don't understand

why they didn't give him that drug. But anyway, so he did. And now he's mad that, you know, he believes that if he would have got the vaccine, he wouldn't have contracted COVID, which, you know, is a questionable thought process because we're seeing reports of breakthrough cases more and more. And we're also now he believes that, and I tend to believe that if he had been vaccinated and got COVID, he wouldn't have been as sick. as he was.

And I don't want none of that. I mean, if there was a sign along the side of the road, I was driving home, listen to this interview. If there was a sign along the side of the road that said, you know, vaccine here, I probably would have pulled in. That's a fact. Jeff, you can get them anywhere. You could have pulled in.

I know, but there wasn't a yard sale sign. So yard sale, vaccine. It wasn't a sign there. So I just went home. But I'm pretty close. I mean, I'm still in the hesitant. but I'm pretty close and you know you've got to outweigh that I don't want to be sick I don't want to get COVID I don't I just okay I know don't look at me like that I know

oh did you know that now a group of state attorneys I'm sorry a group of state attorneys general has released a tentative 26 billion dollar settlement that would be be the largest penalty for the four big players in the opioid epidemic. Now, in this story it talks about that's killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. So the plan would require drug distributors, McCussin, Cardinal Health, the Amerisaurus Bergen to pay $21 billion over 18 years. And these companies, of course, are accused. of lax oversight that bolstered the black market supply of pain killers.

Johnson & Johnson, a drug manufacturer accused of downplaying the addictiveness of opioids in its marketing, which shell out $5 billion over nine years. Those bastards for downplaying the addictiveness. I really, it's just incredible. I mean, we know that there's a crisis. We know that drug overdose deaths rose by 30% last year to a record of 93,000. 331. That's the story. But most of that was not from these opioid

makers. And now they're making it more. We've talked about it before, but they're making it more difficult for the people who need the painkillers in their life to be able to get them because of this. One company made the deal that they're going to stop making. They're going to stop making the drug in the U.S. Oh, okay. Sure. No problem. Anyway, I know we've covered it, but it just drives me crazy. And then I see the headline, prescription drug sticker prices may rise in 2021 after

years of decline. You think? I wonder why. I wonder why prescription drug prices would go up. I'm sure there's a detailed explanation that would explain why those prices would go up, reversing the trend of the past five years. But I could probably guess the real reason for sure. They're talking about price increases, well, let's see, through July, increases already at 1,156, and there were 1064. List prices are often cited to show drug prices are out of control. Interesting.

Isn't that interesting? That is an interesting little thing. that prescription prices are going up. So we're suing the drug manufacturers and making them pay billions of dollars over this opioid crisis and the other drugs that they make are going through the roof price-wise.

I wonder if there's a coalition. We're suing them for billions of dollars and we're making them stop making a drug and actually selling it here in the United States of America and then all the other prescriptions. and drugs are going up in price. I wonder if that works out that way.

Ah, no, probably. Dron Wars. Dron Wars are coming. In fact, that should be my latest movie. Dron Wars. That's a good band name, too. Ladies and gentlemen, drone wars. So Israel has used drone swarm technology.

They just used it in a recent, well, what they call a Gaza war. but the battle in Gaza. And they really haven't talked about how the technology was used, really. But the concept of drone swarms are linked to the development of the AI and networked military units, which is considered a futuristic battlefield application that uses the latest advances in technology. Now, I don't know. if you, like me, saw the documentary, Angel has fallen with Gerard Butler and, what's his face? You know, I'm talking about Morgan Freeman, plays president, the documentary, where they used a drone technology to kill.

They were all they were trying to kill the president. And they missed, thanks to Gerard Butler, thank you. But they killed all the FBI and Secret Service guys with the drone. technology that was badass. And I bet you that's exactly the technology that's being used in Israel and will be used by us in the next battles that we have. But we also know that we're using drones now to seed rain clouds. They're doing that in Dubai. At least that's what they're saying. They're using the drones for and they're saying that, you know, they're creating rain with their projects. Now, they claim that, you know, Dubai.

gets about four inches of rain a year, and they're using this cloud seeding method with this drone technology, they're saying the drones release an electrical charge into the clouds, prompting them to coales and create rain. Okay. I guess the technology is supposed to be favored for other forms of cloud seeding

to use electricity to generate rain rather than chemicals. Huh. Okay. Now they're starting to run low on water. In the desert, duh. So they're talking about our fresh water tables are going down too and poses a serious threat. Yeah, no kidding. You built hotels that house thousands of people on land that doesn't have any water. What are you doing? And you expect, oh, you know, our water tables are going down. Really? That's a surprise. That's what ticks me off here in America, too. We're talking about water tables going down,

but they're letting apartment complexes and hotels being built on property where you would be able to build, let's say, I don't know, 10 single-family homes, and even if it was 20 or 30 single-family homes, but you build a building that houses, you know, hundreds, if not thousands of people instead of, you know, 50 or 100 people. Yes, your water table. tables are going to go down. It only makes sense. But they're talking about them investing millions of dollars in this project of cloud seeding with the drones. And now we've got, you know,

so drone technology and AI technology is everywhere. So it looks like China is making a master race. And it's under the guise of this sperm bank challenge. So a sperm bank in China is asking college students to submit their sperm to recruit new donors and see who has the best quality. That sounds to me like we're checking to see we're going to make the master race. So Vice has reported that human sperm bank of Shanghai, and who doesn't love the human sperm bank of Shanghai? I pass by it every day on my way to work. is holding a contest for the best sperm to raise awareness about sexual health

and refill their supply of donor stuff. So really, they're getting low when they want new donors. And they also, okay, so the submissions are going to be judged on the sperm count and the motility, both of which are important for fertility and conception. And the contest winners are going to, you know, they're recruited and they're going to be given money. And the contest was launched a few days ago. It doesn't say how long the contest is on for. But I would say that the requirements have barred a lot of applicants from being eligible to donate.

And so they're looking at only about 20% of the people in China who donated were approved to be actual donors. So they're looking for to create the master race. Right? Yes. Hello. They want, they're going to check everything for the best sperm. And then those are the ones that are going to be used to donate and create more humans. And that's going to be used to make the master race.

I've heard this happening before. I'm trying to remember where I've heard something like this happening. But I guess, look, and they've got other spurnbames offering big deals too for donors. And they're going to check it all and make sure that you're up to snuff with your stuff. I mean, hey, are you? That's the ad actually coming out of Shanghai. Hey, are you up to snuff with your stuff? You can come into the Shanghai Sperm Bank.

It's actually the sperm bank of Shanghai and donate your little heart away. And if we figure out that you've got the best stuff, then, yeah, we're going to give you cash and you're going to know that your stuff is up to snuff and are making kids all over the Chinese provinces, and we are going to be in love with you. I don't know that I like that.

Maybe that's something we should be doing here in the U.S. as well. How dare you think about making a master race? I'm not thinking about making a master race. I'm just thinking about perhaps we could run some contests for people to donate, and the ones who have the best donations are the ones that we use, right? Right. Okay, I got to thinking about the documentary Angel has fallen, and then it got me thinking about the story that I did earlier on in the show

about the couple who were chased by the bear and up the tree, you know, the whole bear thing. And it got me thinking, you know what movie I love is with Anthony Hopkins, and Alec Baldwin and Elle McPherson. It was from 1997. And I know it's a long time ago, but it's called The Edge. And it's a bear movie.

It's where a bear is chasing them. That's the point. They crash in Alaska. And then there's this bear, this big brown bear that chases them. And like, Alec Baldwin is one of those guys that I love his work,

but I can't take him personally. But there is a good thing that happens in the, this movie that makes you go, yeah, take that because he plays such a douche. But, and Anthony Hopkins, you know, I don't spoil it for you, but he, I don't know if he comes out on top in this documentary, but, you know, he battles with the bear. And it's a great movie. And so if you have not seen the movie, The Edge, it's well worth.

the watch. And it reminded me of the couple in Russia who were chased by the bear. Now, I don't think that the bear in Russia was Bart the Bear who starred or co-starred with Anthony Hopkins and Elle McPherson and Alec Baldwin in the movie The Edge. But Bart had a prominent role in this movie. I don't think they let them loose in Russia and let them chase hikers in the Russian wilderness. I could be wrong, though. I don't know. maybe Bart the Bear was let loose and, you know, is just roaming around the Russian wilderness. Although in the documentary, I almost did a spoiler for the edge.

Look, the movie was made in 1997. So I'm just going to give you a spoiler. And if you don't want to have the spoiler to the edge, then, you know, thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. I'm going to end the show with the spoiler to the end. edge. So if you don't want to know the spoiler of the edge, just wrap it up right now. Okay? All right.

Bart the Bear doesn't make it in the movie in the documentary of the edge. I know. I know. I'm sorry. I know if you stuck around and you'd, then now you're thinking you didn't want to know the spoiler.

Well, you know, I could say I'm sorry, but I wouldn't mean it.
