Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. According to reports, bird flu is raging. New outbreaks in Iowa and Missouri have nearly 2.8 million birds, almost entirely chickens and turkeys, have died in one month due to the, you know, avian influenza. HPAI.

That's according to the agriculture. Department. Okay. It's been identified in 23 poultry farms and backyard flocks in a dozen states since the 8th of February. Okay, that's when we first, remember what we first talked about the bird flu being found here in, domestically here in the United States of America. Okay, I don't know what we're going to do about it, but they're killing them. They are killing them. They, and this is, they, I'm sorry. Did I say killing them?

No, that's just stupid. They're being depopulated. Oh, okay. They, you know, that obviously is killing them. Of course, all the premises have been quarantined and, uh, we are taking care of the we're making sure that, uh, no affected flocks are being distributed to the food system. Uh-huh.

Okay, good. Since 1997, there's 880 people worldwide that have been affected with bird flu. And so, okay, I mean, it's really not that many. But it seems like it's an issue that's going to, you know, you thought prices were going through the roof now. Wait until you want to get those chickens and turkeys that they're killing off. I'm sorry, depopulating. Okay.

So good luck, good luck. I wonder how you kill them, though. I mean, how you depopulate the chickens and turkeys. Hmm. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, so now I can't stop thinking about how you depopulate all these birds. So I know that there's several.

mass depopulation methods. All right. Okay, so you've got to quarantine and movement controls for a humane depopulation component of disposal and cleaning and disinfection activities, right?

I mean, that's a lot of work. You're going to have to kill them. You've got to clean them up and you've got to clean the area after you kill them. There's some kind of water-based foam that has a potential to reduce a number of workers involved

in the depopulation efforts. So you just, you just, foam them to death. Okay. All right, good. And I don't know. I know it's very difficult to pass the bird flu, at least this H5N1 to humans.

But don't forget, everything is evolving. So could happen. It could, you know, you want to limit your zoonotic exposure. I don't know what you do with the foam after you're done. They have other. general biosecurities during carcass disposal

and they talk about you know they have a general carcass disposal system and then you have to decide on how you're going to kill them all and what you're going to do with them after you kill them all that carcass disposal stuff you can compost them you can bury them you incinerate them

rendering this involves processing carcasses until they are reduced to water, fat, or tallow, and meat or bone meal. It's very effective, but requires additional safety precautions to ensure that the virus does not become aerosolized during the rendering process and transported throughout the plant. It also necessitates disruption of the plant's normal operations, so we're not big on rendering. Landfilling allows for safe and efficient disposal of large quantities of carcasses. However, individual landfill managers may put restrictions on the type or quantity of materials.

Except, yeah, you don't want to 8 million birds? I'm sorry, there's not 8 million birds. Duh. There's only been 2.8 million birds, okay? So, I mean, that's a lot of bullets. You can't shoot them. I'll be nice.

I guess if you're on a local farm, you know, it's a mom and pop farm, and you know, ooh, we got bird flu. You walk out back and you... I mean, that's only four. You still have two... 2.7 plus million birds

to go, right? 2,796,000 birds to go. So, I don't know that you have enough bullets. And you don't want to bury him. I don't want to landfill him. That makes me nervous. Because then you're talking about getting into the

water. No, no. We don't want that. Why is it such a big deal to burn them? I can't believe we haven't come up with some way. I guess maybe the foam is a good way, right? You foam them, they all die,

and then I guess you suck up the foam and off you go to the landfill. Nah, you got to burn them. You got to burn them. Anyway, keep your eyes on the chickens and turkeys because we already have 2.8 million dead birds in just a short period of time.

And I'm sure I'm going to be hearing from the farmers that listen to Chewing the Fat. So email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com, and you can tell me the best ways to depopulate your poultry farms and the backyard flocks that have been diagnosed with the pathogenic avian influenza. Okay? Because all I'm seeing is let it burn. But again, that's just... me. Did you see where an assistant principal, fired, fired after reading a children's book to class.

Are you kidding me? Wow, an assistant principal of Mississippi fired last week for reading the children's book, I need a new butt to a class of second grade students. So his boss asked him to set up a Zoom with the second grade classes, and the principal at the school they were going to be at next year. And she was going to read to them, and she didn't show. Okay, so she did, the assistant principal didn't show. So to improvise, Price, the assistant principal,

said, Hey, you got to read to the students, okay? So I grabbed one of my favorite books that I had nearby and I read it to them. It's a funny, silly book. I need a new butt.

He read the book at previous school districts before. I never heard any pushback or complaints. I didn't think twice about reading it because I never had an issue

with it before. There are other books that have more suggested material that are much more widely accepted. according to the termination letter from the superintendent of the school district, a lack of professionalism and impaired judgment. Wow, I need a new butt.

It's a lack of professionalism and impaired judgment to second graders. That's pretty funny. And he gets fired for it? Come on now. No. Now, apparently, there are a bunch of authors, teachers, and librarians that have messaged and posted on social media stating the book is hilarious and sweet, joyful and fun, lighthearted, and that the superintendent's decision was wrong.

And now the assistant principal, this Toby Price, is hoping to overturn their decision, get his job back, and teach others that the funny books are needed in education. Yeah. So all I could think of while I was reading this story is, you know, the book is called I Need a New Butt. But all I could think of was remember the old song, I want a new drug? from Huey Lewis in the news I want a new butt one that won't make me sick

one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick I want a new butt so anyway I just thought I could think of in my head it's just the way I think but have you ever read I need a new butt

well it could be story time here on chewing the fat right now okay this is I need a new butt by Don McMillan illustrated by Ross Canard. Story time on chewing the fat. I need a new butt.

I need a new butt. Mine's got a crack. I can see in the mirror a crack at the back. Did I do it on the slide or on the banister inside? Or when I jumped my BMX or with the fart that happened next? Of course, the fart.

That's what blew my butt apart. Split the thing clean in two. Now I wonder what to do. I need a little. a new one, a green one or a blue one, a fat one or a thin one, a wood one or a tin one. Why not an arty farty butt? One not to be forgotten, with watercolors on the top, and a mural on the bottom, or yellow spotted, purple dotted, a butt with color, a butt with flare, a butt as bright as I dare to wear,

a butt as bright as dad's underwear, or maybe an alien's butt, made from a metal like titanium, fireproof, bulletproof, bomb-proof. I'd like a butt that's safety-rated. The right butt, a knight's butt, a butt that's armor-plated. What about a bumper butt made of chrome? Why not, I say, from a 1960s sport coupe one made in the USA? With accessories to complement, like stripes of silver smoothie bent, a set of lights left and right for backing round in the night.

with a bumper butt I won't be scared because bumper cracks can be repaired but a bumper butt is huge a bumper butt weighs a ton i've changed my mind i want a lighter one a rocket butt all fire and thrust a robo butt now that's the butt's a must no i think it's all too late this cracked butt is my fate i'm here on my own in this cracked bud zone no one to care and no one to share wait what's that i hear this is outrageous are butt cracks contagious Dad, your butt crack is showing and dad there's no way of knowing just how far it's going I need a new butt That's a great story

Are you kidding me We are we are doomed We're fighting in schools Not to teach our young children The age group that this guy is reading to About sex But he can't read about a cracked butt stop it.

That was story time on chewing the fat. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Mmm, so good. So remember, for those of you that listen to Pat Grant Least, of which I'm a part of on Wednesdays, I do a chewing the fat segment, and then I'm there on Friday to hang out and have some fun.

And I, you know, fill in for Pat when he's on vacation. and, you know, fill in for what's his face when he goes away. What's his name? Oh, yeah, Keith. And so, you know, I'm a part of the show. But now they've started up there bingo. Everything, you have an opportunity to win, right? And so if you cross off your bingo sheet,

and you're the first one to call on Fridays, you can win a prize or the first one to call after they, you know, once you attain bingo on the bingo sheet. And that bingo sheet is up on the, you know, pinned on his Twitter page at. Head Unleashed. Well, I know that sometimes you can't listen to the whole show. Should you?

Yes, absolutely. But sometimes you can't. So what I'm going to do, and you can't tell anybody, okay? This is just something that I'm doing on the slide. I'm calling myself the bingo whisperer. But at the end of each episode of Chewing the Fat, I'm going to give you the phrases that you can cross off on your bingo sheet. Okay?

Shh. Don't tell anybody. I'm also looking for contestants for the game show What's the Lie? If you'd like to play that, email me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, and we'll try to make that happen for you. So the movie that Sam Elliott was kind of bashing on Mark's podcast, where he said, you know, the Western is stupid. What does this lady know about Westerns anyway from New Zealand?

He's way too gay. You know, and they never rode a horse. Well, she won the Critics' Choice Awards. Yay! Jane Campion! Great. Good for her. Good for her.

The movie Power of the Dog. And she's been on top of the world because of it as she got the best director. But then as she accepted it, she bashed. She said she'd, she's, the William sisters, Serena and Venus were there. And in her speech, she said, want to give my love out to the guys. And she said, in Venus and Serena, you are such marvels. They were in the audience.

However, you don't have to play against the guys like I have to. Oh, my gosh. Now, in this story, they say Venus can be seen smiling awkwardly. They clapped. They gave her cheers when it was done. But, of course, you can't say anything like that. Against Venus and Serena, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She cannot say anything bad about them, okay?

I mean, many people said, Hey, don't be messing with the Williams sisters, okay? Don't do it. Don't do it. And so, she, of course, meant the knee. I made a thoughtless comment equating what I do in the film world with all that Serena Williams and Venus Williams have achieved. I did not intend to devalue these two legendary black women

and world-class athletes. The fact is, the William sisters have actually squared off against men on the court and off, and they have both raised the bar and opened doors for what is possible for women in this world. The last thing I would ever want to do is minimize remarkable women. I love Serena and Venus.

Their accomplishments are titanic and inspiring. Serena and Venus, I apologize and completely celebrate you. It was in the moment. It was, you know, she was just being stupid. I don't necessarily, I don't know about her. I guess she's from some New Zealand theater family. And so, you know, they're saying that this was just another white lady from New Zealand saying bad stuff about, you know, African American females. No, stop it.

They were in the audience. She was looking at them. And she was just thinking to herself, well, you know, I beat out all these guys in Venus and Serena of obviously, are playing tennis and they're playing tennis against women, not men. And I just beat them there. That's where her head was at. I'm almost positive. I hate to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, my gosh. But I'm going to do it because I get it. Because I'm pretty sure. I could be wrong. And you can ask me about that. In fact, I'm going to look it up while we're talking. Did Venus and Serena ever beat a male on the tennis court? Professionally, of course.

So way back at 1998, during the Australian Open, both Serena and Venus, claimed they could beat any male player ranked lower than 200. So there was a player ranked 203 at the time, this Carston Brosh, and he challenged them and to beat them. So that's kind of where this lady's head was at. I get it, but don't be bad. You know what? I've taken it back. Do not be bad mouth than Serena and Venus. I won't have it.

It's unacceptable. Okay. All right. Speaking of Hollywood and stars, Dick Van Dyke, 96. You know him, you love him. Ninety-six. Now, he is married to Arlene Silver,

who is 50 years old. 46-year age gap. Now, he claimed that he was concerned that there would be an outcry about a gold digger marrying an old man, but no one took that attitude. Dick, I got news for you. Nobody cares. It's not going to be an outcry. Dick, it's okay. Now, Van Dyke is worth, I don't know, only like 50 million or so. He's not, he was around for a long time before the big, big money came in. But I mean, 50 million is good. And if you're if you're Arlene

Silver and you met Dick Van Dyke and he was they met in 2007. They've been together now for a while when he was 81 and she was just 35 so I mean Dick was still taking care of little business back in 2007.

I don't know how much business Dick is taken care of at 96 but for 50 million? Oh yeah. I'm dancing I'm dancing with Dick for 50 million. million dollars. You know what?

You can't quote me on that. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.

Okay, so this isn't a real Who Died Today? segment, although it really should be, I guess. So a camel attack in Tennessee killed two people. Camels are mean. You can quote me on that too. Absolutely. Camels are mean.

And you can't treat them like regular pets. But apparently there was a petting zoo in Obion County, Tennessee. And according to guys died, a 42-year-old man and a 60-7. seven-year-old man pronounced dead at the scene attacked by this camel and so they called police and obviously you know police show up and uh they tried to rescue the people the camel attacked the one police car looked like it was going to come back at the police trying to rescue the people that were harmed and then uh they got there and the camel was you know doing all this running around trying to attack them? Yeah, we put it down. The officers put the camel down. The officer said, hey, look, the camel is about to attack us. Probably took more than one. I give it one more just for good measure. There you go. Now, of course, the story is mostly about the 42-year-old man, this Bobby Mathini, who worked in the high school and everybody loved him.

No mention of what happened. Who was Tommy Gunn, the 67-year-old man. So maybe he was part of the people who kept those damn camels on a leash at the petting zoo. But no more. We went ahead and put it down. Now, of course, Pita, you know, my favorite people. Man, do I love the people for the ethical treatment of animals? And the incident, according to them, is tragic yet unsurprisingly.

injuries abound when animals are exploited for entertainment and peter urges everyone to avoid sleazy roadside attractions that's a sleazy roadside attraction in obion county tennessee okay thanks pita appreciate it uh and you need to avoid them as if your lives depended on it because they do okay uh we got you No problem. Sorry we had to put that bad boy down, though. You got a manhandle. And, I mean, you can woman handle if you want, but you got to handle the, they are really

kind of not good animals. They're not a good pet. I mean, I told you, the one that I wanted to ride on who did not like me, who was mean, I could have been attacked had it been a petting zoo. But the better one was not having any of that. He was whacking him along the side saying, you're going to get down and you're going to let this fat man on you, and he's going to ride you because you're the camel. and I'm the human.

And that's what happened. That's the way we make our money. That's the way you get your food. Get your ass down there and let this fat man on you. And they did. Peter would not be happy about that at all. So we've got the camel. Now we've got a bulldozer who runs over a guy in a porta potty.

Now it's not funny. I don't know why you're laughing. You got to put you a smile came to your face when I said that. It's not funny. So a Florida landfill worker died. All right. So the guy running, he goes in the porta potty. and the bulldozer is wrapping up for the day, right, at the Polk County North Central landfill.

I mean, I love the Polk County North Central landfill. So apparently, the driver was going up the embankment toward the staging area. And, you know, once he got up on the ground level, he began to turn his bulldozer and heard a loud crumble. Now, okay, so he did. didn't see the porta potty? Come on, man. How long you've been working there running that thing? So apparently he's putting, he's bringing the bulldozer up the embankment and he had the,

he had the front blade of his bulldozer elevated three or four feet off the ground, which, according to the statement, obstructed his view while he was on the incline. So he didn't see the porta potty. Okay. I find that hard to believe. That's what happened. That's what happened. No problem.

So then once he gets up to the stage, he makes the turn, he hears the loud crumble, and he jumps off the bulldozer to check, and, yeah, there was someone in the Portabani. And so it was just a tragic industrial accident. Oh, all right. So that's what it's been officially ruled in accident.

Now, obviously the guy is, you know, horribly upset. and you're running over your workmate, your co-worker, who's in the porta potty at the landfill. That's not a good day. That's not a good day. Did I mention that today was the, speaking of getting run over by a landfill by accident,

today, the Godfather premiered 50 years ago. 50 anniversary, 50 years ago, the Godfather. I love the Godfather movies so much. And it was 50 years ago that that first movie was released. Wow. I mean, I enjoyed the book. The original, the book, I remember reading the book. And, you know, I just, I love the whole Godfather anthology. I don't know what made me think of that.

I think it's having someone accidentally run over in a porta potty at a landfill. I don't know what made me think of a mob movie, but it did. We find out also, speaking of Florida, that Bob Sagitt, his death records, pertaining to the death investigation from the local medical examiner's office will not be released to the media. And it's weird that they filed lawsuits about this because, you know, people were asking for it. But Florida State, I'm pretty sure they prohibit the release of those autopsy results and everything. So we had to go through all kinds of court issues to get that. It is interesting, though, that the family did not want that.

information out there. Huh. It is interesting. I'm not sure what it says, but it is interesting. Also, another thing that died, Doritos.

I know. I'm just as bummed as you. So Doritos now claims that, look, we're cutting the number of chips in each bag. What?

Yeah. They're cutting the numbers of chips in the bag. Who died today? Doritos. So Frito-Lay has cut down the number of chips in each bag of Doritos as a record inflation has raised production expenses. So a bag of Doritos has five fewer chips than it used to. We took this a little bit out of the bag so that we can give you the same price and you can keep enjoying your chips, said Frito-Lay representative.

Oh, okay, well, that's nice. I mean, we know that inflation is skyrocketing and it's a 40-year high. I don't worry about it. But we're just going to go instead of making the bag smaller, instead of raising the price, we're just going to go ahead and cut the Doritos out of the bag. So thanks, Doritos, and rest in peace, those five Doritos, although they're going to be in another bag.

So I guess they technically didn't die. They're just going to another coffin. Isn't that what a bag of Doritos is? It's just a coffin for food? No, you don't look at it like that? Okay, never mind. I mean, I'm complaining about the five chips in the Dorito bag or the coffin for Doritos.

And I see where our president of the United States of America, President Biden said he's going to prohibit imports of Russian vodka, caviar, and diamonds. what? Okay. I don't know what's going on. I know that we're, you know, we're all going to cut Russia's most favored nation.

We're cutting all the, you know, Russian export. You know, who knows? One of the things, I don't know why we're, I don't know why we are going after the Russian people. It just seems like that goes against what we believe, but who knows what we believe anymore? I mean, I see where Adidas has closed, or Adidas, has closed stores and suspended online sales in Russia.

What are the guys going to wear? That's all they wear is the Adidas sports suits. So, come on now. They've got to be able to wear something, right? You have to. And as long as we're talking about the war, which I just agonizing it. needs to end soon. And I wish all these people would stop talking about World War III.

Stop putting it out there into the world. But Elon Musk, my main man, you know him, you love him. He has challenged the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, through Twitter, which I thought was banned in Russia. Anyway, he has challenged him to a fight. Okay. Yes, I hope Vlad takes him up on it. I hope they get together.

I hope Elon wins and the war is over. That's it. But Elon has challenged Vlad to a fight and he's to single combat. And that's it. And so we're good. All right. We're bringing duels back. That's good.

And we can put it up on so. social media so everybody can see it unless your country has been banned from seeing that particular social media account. So, you know, maybe they won't see it at all. But it'll still, if no one sees it on a social media account, has it really happened? This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Okay, so META has now clarified its hate speech policy, saying that users cannot make death threats against Russian President Vladimir Putin and other heads of state. So they've changed again. I can't say death threats or say bad things

about Vlad or other heads of state. All right, fine, whatever. I think Facebook is, I hate to say this, but I think they're done. I think they're done. I mean, Instagram's still huge, but meta is the new world order. I get it.

But Facebook itself, I feel like they're done. I just saw where meta, the main company, which, you know, I know we're delineating, you know, between Facebook and Instagram and meta, but meta itself is now, they've cut some of the perks of the employees at the compound. So they have informed the employees that they are going to be cutting down on various perks, including. free laundry, dry cleaning, and valet service, as well as delaying the daily free dinner by half an hour from 6 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. They're done. They're cutting back these services. Yeah, they're done. Now, new people in charge trying to save a little money, I guess. Zuck trying to cut back a little. Now, the thing is, you think, oh, they cut free dinner by half an hour, That is huge.

Why is that, you ask? Well, the last shuttle bus departs at six. You want to eat on campus? You're going to have to drive yourself home then. There's no free ride if you're going to eat on campus. Oh, okay. So it's going to save them a lot of money. Now, I guess employees used to stuff their pockets with all this free food

before the last shuttle bus would go and then they would just, you know, go home with, you know, all these, all this free food. So they claim, hey, look, this is an on-site perk for people while they're working in the office. We want food to be served to meet that need

while people might be working late. But no. I know we're coming back to the office now. And, you know, where there's, you know, we have to worry about that kind of thing. Oh, okay. And I will say, free laundry and dry cleaning, that's a big deal. I would love that.

That would be awesome. And the valet service, okay, I mean, you're taking the shuttle anyway. If you're working, if you're taking the shuttle bus, you know, the valet service is neither here or there, right? I mean, you drive in, you park, you go to work. Whatever, it's fine. But I get it. It was a service that was, you know, you get used to. But the free laundry of dry cleaning?

that's pretty sweet. And then free dinner, and then you fill your pockets full of food to take home. That's good living. They were living large, man. And now Facebook and Meta's like, oh, yeah, no, we're cutting back. Sorry.

A lot of employees are a little unhappy. A little unhappy with the whole thing. However, they did say that, okay, well, we're going to up the wellness stipend from $700 to $3,000 this year. Oh, okay. Okay, because the stipend, the wellness stipend, covers, you know, physical, mental health, financial planning, and care for children, older people, and pets, which, you know, would be the bag full of food that you were taken home every night on that final shuttle. So one of the food service team saying, hey, this doesn't affect the workplace culture, okay?

when peers are cramming three to 10 to go boxes full of steak to take them home. Nobody cares about our culture. So you get pretty used to it. You get pretty used to it. I mean, I love the meta stuff, but when they're starting to cut back, maybe it's not going as well as you think. maybe medamates have a legitimate concern because when the company starts pulling back on that stuff that they were offering over the years,

times are a changing, right? Definitely times are a changing. I mean, I saw where, what's his face, the former CEO of Disney, not the Dingleberry, that's the CEO now, Chapik or whatever his name. is. But Bob Iger, former Disney CEO, he's joining the Metaverse man. He's got a new startup

on Metaverse avatars. So the company, Genies, has raised $100 million in funding already through deals with Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group. They've created avatars

for artists like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Sean Mendez. And they're saying that you'll be able to create your own avatars using the company's tools and dress them in NFT clothing and accessories. So they're going to be getting it from, you're going to be getting money from the artists and the NFTs that are going to be paying for. I mean, that's really a huge deal when you're inside the Metaverse, man.

He used an example of, imagine, you know, letting someone buy a Mickey Mouse avatar and customizing it in a way that could not only, we would never, we'd never allow it before, but it was kind of hard to do in the physical world. Yeah. No kidding. But in the metaverse, no problem. You'll be able to do it. And so the genies are, you know, part of the intellectual property in the metaverse.

And so you'll be able to do that. That's awesome. I mean, I wish I was a part of that. Bob, why didn't you call me? I'm a little ticked. I would have liked to thrown in, you know, 10 or 20 bucks into the startup, but you never called. also I see where HBO Max and Discovery Plus are going to combine so that we'll be able to have both of those together

that's a big deal although I don't know how much more they're going to charge me as they bundle those direct-to-consumer platforms so anyway that's going to be happening it's on track the Discovery Plus and Warner Media with the combination of Discovery Plus and HBO Max is on track sometime this year, right? So we'll see how that works out. But okay, I hope that, you know,

we eventually combine both streaming services into one consumer, you know, offering and platform. And we'll start working in the meantime. And, you know, I'm getting on that bundling approach. Yeah, well, I hope that works out. Maybe, I mean, look, the bundling's got to happen. There's got to, and you've got to cut prices. I'm not talking about raising prices.

either there, Discovery Plus and HBO Max, because there's a point, and we're getting close to a point where there's too many platforms charge on way too much money, okay? And we're just, we're getting there. And for many people, I'm sure we're already there. And I'm really close on that teeter-totter. So somebody better make some kind of deal soon. And if you need some help, call me. I know Bob Iger forgot to call me, but if you guys need some help, I'm here for you. I saw where Discovery CEO made over $246 million last year, according, you know, thanks to bumper stock options.

Uh, yeah, no kidding. 246.6 million last year? That's a pretty good deal. You're living pretty good on that, no doubt. So between the mergers and stock options, He brought in some nice money. So call me, and I'll help you guys work out some kind of deal with bundling and, you know, price per point. Just call me.

Or email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. That's fine. I mean, I don't hear from Bob Eiger. I don't hear from the Discovery Plus CEO. What's his name again? David Zaslov. So I don't hear from Bob. I don't hear from Dave.

but I do hear from Abu Usman. Now, Abu Usman has emailed me from an alien.com website. Is it alien or alien? A-L-I-Y-U-N. I know it's from Alibaba. I got it. He has sent me an email, or she, Abu Usman. I'm going to read it to you the way it's typed and printed to me.

Okay. And this is the people that are getting a hold of me. And so Bob and Dave, you know, you too can email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Email from Abu. Greeting. I am indeed glad to be in contact with you, even though this medium of communication,

internet in parentheses, has been grossly abused by criminal-minded people, making it difficult for people with genuine intention to correspond and exchange views without skepticism. Has it a boo? This is a private effort to introduce a partnership intention and proposal to you. I decided to write to you. I have decided that I seek your assistance in a matter that requires your urgent attention.

I am Abu Uzman from Afghanistan, and I am contacting you due to the ongoing takeover. by the Taliban in my country. I need your urgent response to help me receive some funds for me. If this is something you can do, I will appreciate your early response so that I can provide more and appropriate more details

of the entire proposal, given the fact that this is only a skeletal introduction. I will appreciate if you could let me have the following information. One, your name, to your address through your cell phone number for occupation. Your positive response will be highly appreciated.

As soon as I receive your response, I will get back to you ASAP. Sincerely, Abu Usman. Thanks, Abu. Love you too. Oh, man, I want to reply to Abu at tisalien.com. email address, but

it's probably not a good bet. I know. I know what you're thinking. Man, think of the money that Abu might have for you. And you know, you could be missing out. I know. But I feel like I probably shouldn't reply. Plus, for some reason, ever since the movie Aladdin, what year did that come out? I mean, 100 years ago now, that was the pet monkey name, right? Abu. and so I don't know that I trust the name Abu.

I know the monkey was Aladdin's partner in crime there and helped out a lot, but I just have a question mark to the name Abu. Okay, for those of you that missed Pat Gray today on Pat Gray on Leashed for their bingo game, it's time for the Bingo Whisperer. there were no changes today. Not one square was scraped off, X'd off.
