And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

So we have a huge recall from Skippy, Skippy Foods LLC, recalling thousands of pounds of Skippy peanut butter because of stainless steel fragments, possibly contaminating a limited number of jars. Now, the company, which is owned by Hormel food, said that it was recalling more than 9,000 cases. And if you're wondering, I mean, it's no worry because it's the reduced fat peanut butter. I don't know anyone who buys the reduced fat peanut butter, but you may.

That amounts to 161,692 pounds of Skippy, reduced fat peanut butter. Now, of course, the fragments are from a piece of manufacture. equipment, someone just didn't put those in there as terror and Skippy Foods LLC out of an abundance of caution. And with emphasis on the quality of its products is issuing the recall to ensure that consumers are made aware of the issue. Then we find out that Lucky Charms is going to recall some of their cereals, at least 139 customers across the country, have reported they vomited and had diarrhea after eating a bowl of

the cereal. Oh my gosh. One girl said she was protective vomiting didn't stop until the following day. The whole weekend my son was like a zombie on the couch, said one lady. So, food safety, of course,

is their top priority. Lucky Charms is saying, hey, we are aware of the consumer claims submitted via the website, but we don't believe that it's cereal is the cause of these illnesses. But we're ongoing. I sorry, I said they were going to recall them. They're not recalling them.

They are conducting an ongoing review. So if you, you know, down the bowl of Lucky Charms, either with milk or dry, and then ended up feeling sick and projectile vomiting for a day or so it's because of the lucky charms but they claim no it's not okay so sure they've recalled the cereal in the past because of salmonella poisoning but this has nothing to do with that okay sure they've recalled boxes of fruit loops and apple jacks and corn pops and honey smacks uh you know 10 years ago because of the foul order from the liners of the packages but But they're not recalling the lucky charms because guess what?

We don't believe you. You were sick because of something else. Oh, okay. Well, then, all is well. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Riding horses to work. Making your own soap.

Hacking gas pumps. It seems as though the Biden, America is right on schedule. But we've dug up something that gives us hope. because J.P. Morgan declared that alternatives are no longer optional, and they're encouraging everyone to look outside of just stocks and bonds. Because one of the hottest markets on Earth is in an unexpected alternative. Art. It's surprising to hear that people invest in art, unless you know the stats.

It's got a 0.01 correlation to public equities, which means it's great for diversification. And its returns have outpaced the S&P 500. by 164% for the last 25 years. Now, art investing is no longer just for the billionaires. Anyone can do it with Masterworks, the first platform letting anyone add shares of famous art to their portfolio.

So I see where Hope Solo, former U.S. women's national soccer team goalkeeper Superstar Hope Solo was arrested this weekend because she was passed out sleeping behind the wheel of a vehicle in North Carolina with her two-year-old twins inside. So the police report said Solo was arrested, well, on Thursday, I said this past weekend, in a shopping center in Winston-Salem in charge with driving while impaired. She wasn't driving. She was sleeping in the car at the parking lot.

I guess how did she get there? Resisting a public officer. and misdemeanor child abuse. She's been released from jail and has a court date of June 28th. It's going to be interesting to see the outcome of this because she didn't, she wouldn't blow,

you know, for the police officers, but they did, you know, take a blood test when she was arrested. Now, according to the report, she was asleep behind the steering wheel for more than an hour with the vehicle's engine running. You know, there's got to have the air on.

I mean, I, the responding officer said, oh, I can smell alcohol. And the warrant said that Solo refused the sobriety test. Yeah, but of course, when you refuse, they draw blood. And so her attorney, I released a statement saying,

look, we're not going to respond to the specific charges, but, you know, my client is, is fine. And her kids are her life. She was released immediately and is now home with her family. Now, she has said, released a statement that said,

our family is strong and surrounded with love. Our kids are strong, intelligent, happy, and vibrant. And we are present every day giving them the best life possible. That's what she wrote on her Instagram story, adding she would reveal the circumstances of her arrest later. So, and she went on to say that, you know, our kids are enjoying North Carolina sun, eating popsicles. You know, hubby plays for the box,

or he's, you know, an NFL player. And the twins were born last year. So, you know, she can't say anything, obviously, because of the advice of counsel, but she said that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest. So I always love the resisting arrest, because she's like, I'm sure she's like, no, you're not going to arrest me. I'm fine. And so that's, I'm sure that's resisting arrest.

I don't know what happened. I'm just guessing that that's what happened. Now, was she drunk? I don't know. The blood test will tell. you know we've all I mean I can remember pulling into my folks driveway

with one of my kids I don't even remember which one now sound to sleep in the car seat and I would be so tired and I remember just pulling into the driveway because we were going to go there for dinner after work and so I pull in the driveway

and I just leave the car running the ACs on and the kids asleep I don't want to wake up the kid and I'm just gonna I'm gonna sleep for a little while too now that's it my folks driveway that's not in a parking lot, but I understand the process. So if you're really tired and the kids are asleep,

or at least part of the time for that hour that some person saw them in the parking lot with this lady asleep behind the wheel passed out as it's being reported, and the kids are in the back. So, you know, I don't know. When is a time that you report it? I guess, you know, the lady had nothing better to do to, you know, then to say, I've been watching her for over an hour. and nothing has happened.

Those kids have been at the back of the car. So we'll see what happens with the Hope Solo case. I just find it interesting as all. I most definitely have not looked at any of the naked pictures or any of that that was out there because of the Hope Solo debacle. I mean, I know that she was charged with allegedly assaulting her half-sister and nephew

back in 2014. Those charges were dropped. And her husband was convicted of drunk, driving and I know that in 2012 um she Stevens was a charge her husband was a charged with uh assaulting her but the charges there were dropped as well so she's had a you know she's been quiet the last few years living large with the with hubby and then having the kids so it'll be interesting to see if the what the blood test

comes back as if she actually had alcohol or some kind of drugs in her system that made her pass out. If that's the case, I mean, now we're looking at something that is, well, you can quote me on this,

not good. Remember the story about the guy who had the six flags, $150 annual dining pass? And he was saying that he ate there every day and saved all kinds of money

because he would go to six flags and eat lunch because he had the unlimited dining pass. He would eat lunch there. And I think he would eat dinner there too. And so, it was worth $150 for the annual dining pass. And everybody was like, yeah, that's a good deal.

We love that. He ate all his meals at Six Flags. That's a good deal. And he'd been doing it for quite some time. And he shouldn't have talked about it. We talked about it then. Why would you talk about it? He was such a good deal.

You got to keep that kind of thing to yourself, man. Or just, you know, close friends. It's tough to do in today's world, though. When you have such a good thing, you want to share it and you laugh about it. Well, six flags, you know, obviously caught on and said, oh, yeah, no, we can't do that anymore. So it's discontinued. Now, it's $150 annual dining pass. They've announced a whole new pricing system for their passes, which have a bunch of people saying,

hey, what are you guys doing? because we really like that a lot. And so the park now says that we've simplified it into three tiers of the annual pass. The annual passes now include unlimited access to all six flags parks in the country, merchandise discounts, and access to better parking. However, not one of the three tiers includes unlimited meals. So for 32999, you get the ultimate pass. That includes a 10,000.

meal dining plan, just 10 meals. So there's no unlimited anymore. Sorry. And my man Mel is like, oh, well, I'm going to ride what I have on, you know, my latest pass. And so they didn't just cut it off. They just not, you can't re-up it. So when this is done for him, when his year, time is up for the latest pass of the unlimited dining pass, um, no.

Uh, that is not going to happen. anymore. So for those of you that are using that, you know, sorry, it's over. Bummer. And I know you're just going to have to go there for the rides. Maybe you get the ultimate pass and get the 10 meal dining plan. Probably saves you a little bit, a little bit of money if you go there. But, you know, I don't know if they're going to offer anything else. But as far as the unlimited meals go with the pass, sorry, it's over. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So Elon, all over the news, as he, they crushed quarter one. I know Tesla delivered 310,000 vehicles last quarter, which was a big jump from last year's quarter one. And the growth is all the more impressive because the legacy carmakers like GM and Toyota.

reported declines, respectively with the chip shortages still hampering production. Yet, this administration does not even acknowledge that Elon and Tesla exist. But last week we talked about Elon and him asking the question about Twitter and free speech, and we come to find out now that he just bought the largest portion of Twitter. I know. point two percent stake in twitter three million dollars nice that makes him the biggest shareholder in twitter now is not going on board on the board right now but i would say that that's coming this is just a shake-up and you know the thing is is i don't know if we talked

about this on the air or not but you know so i we did talk about it i remember talking about off the air that you know he probably will buy into twitter and he did, right? But the problem is, is that the business now, the mental thought of Twitter is so ingrained in the employees. It's going to take more than a board seat to change that. I mean, it's going to be, it's going to take a little while. But good, maybe we get to, maybe we get to, you know, open up some of the free speech on Twitter, thanks to Elon buying in. And I'm sure that, you know, I'm sure that that board seat, at least one, probably more than one, coming as he buys in as the largest shareholder.

And the Twitter shares surged by 26% after must purchase was revealed on Monday. So good luck. Good luck to Jack. And what's his face? That's the CEO now, Parag, Agawai. Good luck. Good luck to them. At Jeffie JFR is my Twitter handle if you're not aware.

I see where Apple is still fighting with Facebook or meta. They said that people have noticed that the company's showcase of essential suggested apps in its app store. Hey, man, you know what? We're not going to mention Facebook. or Instagram. Wait, what? Yeah. We know that Facebook only has

1.9 billion daily active users. Instagram boasts 120 million active users. But, and Facebook has a far higher numbers than Twitter. Twitter has 206 million. TikTok has 15.5 million. Okay. Snapchat. Snapchat, when I met as closest competitors is around 428 million monthly active users.

And it's listed first by, Apple in their essential suggested apps. But they took off Facebook and Instagram. Yeah, we're not going to mention you anymore. Okay. Sure, you're still there. I can still, people can still get you on our, on our, on our, and our app store, but we're just not going to mention you.

Okay. So not only did they lose meta, a billions of dollars in revenue when they took care of their new privacy feature, the app tracking transparency. which they claim cost meta $10 billion in revenue. Wow. So, I mean, that fight's been going on. Now Apple is saying, hey, you know what?

I just, we'll still allow you onto our app store. Well, we're just not going to mention you, okay? I don't know how much that's going to cost meta, but I'm sure that Tim and Zuck will be in the ring very soon. I don't know if it'll be the octagon or. or if it'll be in just the wrestling ring, but they could, you know, that could happen very soon,

which would be fantastic pay-per-view for either WWE or M-M-M-M-A. MM-A? M-M-A? And the Octagon would be awesome. Cook and Zuck in the Octagon. Nice. Or Cook and Zuck in a closed cage match.

Yeah, I know it's not going to happen, but one could dream. Amazing to me that the Will Smith thing is still ongoing. Just wow. He resigned or he sent his resignation to the Academy, and the Academy said, yeah, we accepted it, which I didn't think they would do. I thought they would just say, you know, we're going to take it. I'll put it on the desk and get back to us after you get some help, Will.

But no. David Rubin, Academy President, said we have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith's immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy's standards of conduct in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18th. Whatever. What's the worst that the Academy can do? He's already resigned. Are they going to take the Oscar away? I mean, come by and pick it up. Good luck getting out of the property.

But, okay. And Will seems to be okay with it. He said, I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. And he's taking a big hit. I mean, the Netflix film titled Fast and Loose due to Star Will has been shelled. in light of the scandal. Wow, that's not the only thing either.

Other Netflix projects, including the Council and Bright 2, could also be binned as a consequence for the violent actions. And his Apple Plus show, deep in post production on the drama-judled Emancipation, which tells the story of a runaway slave

from a Louisiana plantation. They were hoping that that would give him a best actor nomination and now the streamer Apple Plus says, you know, we don't have a release date for that yet. I thought it was supposed to be next year. Yeah, we don't know. We'll get back to you on that.

And it also claimed that Bad Boys 4, which has been an active development of Sony. He already had 40 pages of the script. That's going to go ahead. We're going to pause that. Oh, okay. And there were some other projects with Sony as well, plus his production company.

was involved in making a lot of this stuff. Ah, this cost Will big. I, you know, my first thought of this that it wasn't real, that it was just a bit. And boy, if it was a bit, it backfired big. Big. So I don't know what Will does now. The only thing that he does do is he bent the knee, and that's still not enough. Always never bend the knee.

I mean, he bent the knee and apologized to everyone, including Chris Rock. I mean, he apologized to everyone and it still is never enough. Just incredible. Now, Jada, no one's talking about Jada. But this makes her show

that red table talk or whatever she calls it bigger than ever, right? Everybody's going to want to hear what she has to say. It's an amazing thing. I still feel that there's more to it than just Chris making a joke.

about the wife and having a bald head. I feel like maybe Chris was, you know, taking care of a little jada pink of business on the side and Will was not happy about it and thought maybe, you know, that was part of the deal? I don't know. We'll see. Nobody wants to talk about it.

I saw where Mel Gibson was on Jesse Waters program on Fox. And, you know, it was one-on-one with Mel Gibson. It was one of the movie hit. He's promoting his new movie, Father Stu, which I'm sure is, you know, great. And it's one of these doing the press junket, where he's doing the rounds of interviews. And at the clip, the full clip, is five minutes and 17 seconds long. So I'm guessing that it's a five-minute hit for Jesse to talk to Mel Gibson. But Jesse does ask the question at the end about Will Smith.

and Mel wants nothing to do with it. He doesn't answer it. Nothing. And you hear his handler come on and say, that's the end of the interview. It's really, really funny. I was wondering if,

you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris. Oh, yeah, no, he doesn't want to ask it. Keep it going, Jess. I'm fine.

Okay. Well, Mel, thank you very much for joining Jesse Waters' prime time, and we really appreciate it. April 13th. Thank you. We really enjoyed it.

I got to hand it to Jesse, though. You got to ask the question. Even if he was told he wasn't supposed to ask it. Awesome. Got the interview in, asked it at the end, got the great kick at the end. Mel wanted nothing to do with it. He waved his hand up in the air and smiled. Like, ah, no, no, no, no.

Either you're not supposed to ask me that, or I'm not going to answer that. Either way. And then the handler comes on. And hello, Jesse, that's it. Time's up. Have a nice day. That's awesome. It's the matcha or the three ensemble

Cicot of Cephora of the FACC that I just niche that I'm energize over? Mm, it's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini regrouped, what's all benn? And the embellage,

too beau, who is practically to give to them. And I know I should have the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez.

Mm, I'm just best. The most ensemble of the fadowowow of Cadeo Catero de

Way, Cifora Collection and other part of Vite. Procurry you Corma Standa and So today is the 4th of April 2022 for those of you that are listening live or that are not listening live. We had the Grammys last night, which were awesome. I didn't watch them, but they were awesome.

I recorded it just in case something really big happened. You got to go back and catch it. The most memorable moment of the night, I'm told, was the pre-recorded speech from Ukrainian president of of Lugmore Zelensky, who implored artists to fill the silence with your music. Oh, okay, thanks, Mr. President. We appreciate it. We'll just keep that war right on rolling for you. I see where John Baptiste picked up five trophies, including the top prize of album of the year.

I'm sure Trevor Noah was awesome in his hosting, you know, hosting. duties there in Vegas. And I see where some other big winners, Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson, Olivia Rodriguez, one best new artist.

Kanye West, again, it's Yay, okay? It's not Kanye West. Yay, despite being absent from the show. Yeah, they asked them not to show up. One, two awards. And that was kind of cool. I mean, yay didn't show up.

They asked him not to show up. He won two awards. The comedy album of the year, best comedy album of the year, went to Louis C.K. Wow, they must be pissed. I don't understand. You had Lavelle Crawford,

Chelsea Handler, Lewis Black, Nate Bargatz, and Kevin Hart, along with Louis C.K. We're up for the best comedy album. And Louis C.K. won that award. Fantastic for Louis.

I don't know if that means he's back. I don't know. Maybe people, they're pissed. I mean, Louis got caught up in that Me Too movement. And it's really weird because, you know, even the stories of his friends, we've talked about his case before on the show. It's just amazing to me. You know, so you weren't crazy about him wanting to dittle with himself in front of people.

But he asked, he always asked. And they were saying we just couldn't say no. Couldn't you? Couldn't you say no? Because we heard stories from his friend, and I forget who it was. We used to say that she was there a number of times and we'd get pizza. And Louis would say, hey, is it okay if I diddle myself? And she would say, no, dude.

I just want to have our pizza. And he would have the pizza. He would say, okay, fine. I mean, he would ask. All you had to do was say, no. How about no? Louis. Not right now. Okay? And I see where my man

John Hyatt lost. Very sad. I love John Hyatt. I've seen him a couple times a lot more than, I think I've seen John two or three times. Really like John Hyatt a lot. But he lost. He was nominated under the Best Americana album. I didn't know that was a portion of the Grammys, but the best Americana album went to a native sons by Los Lobos.

John Hyatt did not win that. I'm sure he was just a proud, proud feeling to be nominated. Jackson Brown was in that category as well and didn't win. I don't think Jackson has won a Grammy. I looked at some of the other snubs. Justin Bieber, eight nominations. Didn't get one. Went home empty-handed.

Wow. I mean, he's had, he's only won two Grammys from 22 nods. Poof. Okay. Uh, no problem. And I think, uh, Billy Elish, who performed and just won an Oscar, uh, and had, I mean, she's had seven Grammys in the last two years. And an Oscar last year went home empty-handed.

Oh. Okay. No problem. you got it. Halsey. Nothing. Sorry. Plus, you know, just as a side note.

I'll show you a picture during the Chewing the Fat segment on Pat Unleashed during on Wednesday's show. But Justin Bieber had borrowed a suit from me. And I expect it when he returns it. I want to make sure that he has a dry clean. And so you'll get the joke. But I've just letting you in on a little inside information on the story. That will take place this coming Wednesday, the 6th of April 22, during the Pat Gray Unleashed program.

Okay. All right, good. And I see where Doja Cat beat out Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga for a Grammy. Did you see, oh, you know, the Oscars were so overshadowed by this Will Smith slap. But I saw a couple of really, well, one weird and one really cool thing. from the Oscars. Lady Gaga, speaking of Lady Gaga,

I guess that's her gig now, is going on around with all the old entertainers because her deal with Tony Bennett. But at the Oscars, she came out on stage with Liza Manelli. Liza Manelli was in a wheelchair, and, I mean, she looked okay,

you know, for someone who is Lady Liza Manelli. who is 76 years of age now, she looked a lot older than 76. I don't know why she was in a wheelchair, but she looked a lot older than 76. Okay, so she's got, at 76,

she said that she has two false hips, a wired up knee, scoliosis, and three crushed discs. Woof, that's not good. And she was diagnosed with viral encephalitis and returned to the hospital for a second time just a few days ago. So Liza, man, it was good. It was nice that Gaga was giving her, you know, respect, but it also was kind of like

Gaga. I mean, okay. And I see one of the other things that I thought was really cool. The thing they got overshadowed was Kevin Costner's speech before the Best Director Award that went to Jane. Campion, right? Hair of the dog or lost dog or gay cowboy movie or whatever it was. But Costor's speech before then, his little two or three minute soliloquy before the list of, hey, that's okay, now we'll give you the best directors.

It was awesome. I talked about him being a little kid at seven, watching going to the movie theater and watching how the West was won and not wanting to leave his magic seat. And that's what made him in a fan of movies and how he wanted to become, you know, part of Hollywood. It was really good. You know, I'm a Costner fan, but that was really good. And a big surprise also from the Grammys, which, you know, a little surprising, actually. Barack Obama, the former president's A Promised Land, didn't win best spoken word album. What?

Are you kidding me? as the world turned on its axis? I'm not sure. I mean, he's already, I think he's already got a Grammy, right? Yeah, that's his first Grammy loss. He won twice in that category before he was elected president.

So what is happening? They didn't give it to him. And I remember, yes, Jackson Brown, that's what I was thinking about earlier when I mentioned Jackson Brown being in the Americana division there with John Hyatt. Jackson Brown 15th studio album

Downhill from Everywhere Lost Best American album Brown has never won a Grammy Wow eighth nomination His highest profile nomination came with Running on Empty You think that he would have won a Grammy

for that one album of the year Nope, have a nice day But you know I don't think John Hyatt has won a Grammy either I mean John has been nominated I know he's been nominated a number of times for a Grammy Award, but I don't think he's ever won a Grammy. So that's kind of sad as well.

He definitely deserves a Grammy. He's John Hyatt, I'll tell you. I see where the music industry, we talked last week a little bit about how the global recorded music market was up 18.5% in 2021 to hit $25.9 billion in revenue in 2021. And the top global artist was BTS.

Also known as the Bangtain Boys from South Korea. Guess what? They didn't win a Grammy either this year. The top global artist and they don't win a Grammy. Are you freaking kidding me? So they also talked about how, you know, another story talked about streaming, which includes formats like paid subscriptions,

Facebook licensing, and TikTok, included for the first time, accounts for 83% of industry revenue. Wow. Vinyl sales grew. for the 15th straight year, and hit a billion dollars in sales for the first time since 1986.

Physical formats accounted for 11% of music industry revenue. Wow. So the digital era, I mean, artists are still struggling with that digital era, but there's money to be made. I don't know who's making it all. Maybe Amazon. I mean, I see where Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy,

yeah, he made $212 million. last year. Now, his salary is just $175,000. But he got compensation in stock shares, 61,000 stock shares. So that gets him up there in that $213 million window. Not bad. Not bad. I see where, and speaking of Amazon, I mean, those guys are making, I mean, hello, all kinds of money. I know Bezos, who is not, he's currently serving as the, executive chairman.

He has a base salary of $81,840. Oh, okay. So he's still making a salary, but not off that $200 and something billion. I'm sorry, he's not over $200 billion anymore. $190 billion is what he's worth. Huh. He does also, he spent $1.6 million on security

and business travel, which the company, is happy to pay for. Don't worry about it. That's part of the deal. Well, Jassy, the CEO, he only spent 600,000 on security and business travel. Oh, that's special. No problem.

And the new Web Services CEO, the guy that took Jassy's place, when Jassy took over when Bezos left, Adam Sleski, he was paid only $81.4 million. and part of the worldwide consumer division. That's all, though. So good, good, good. Now, no, let me rephrase that. Okay, I want to be sure I have this right. So the Amazon Web Services CEO, Adam Sulepsky,

he took over Jassy's place, when Jassy took Bezos's place. He was paid $81.4 million. The worldwide Consumer Division CEO, he's got to be pissed, earned only 50, $56 million. So that's a good life for those four or five people at Amazon. But, man, good for them.

Good for them. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

Estelle Harris passed away, 93 years of age. She died of natural causes in Palm Desert. in California. Rest in peace, Estelle Harris. You will remember her, or, you know, for sure, should remember her as the mother of Jason Alexander's character in Seinfeld.

She was awesome. She was also Mrs. Potato Head and the latter three story, three toy story films, which was awesome. She was, you know, did a great job on that. I see where I was reading a little bit about her life.

And she was born Estelle Nussbaum in 1928 in Manhattan, got her first start in Hollywood in looking up and then once upon a time in America. Then she landed a three-episode gig on night court. She was married to her husband, Cy Harris, from 1953 until his death in January 2021. So she lived a little bit more than a year after her husband died. Very sad and rest in peace. I saw where Jason Alexander had tweeted one of his favorite people has passed. My TV mama, Stel Harris.

And I want to believe that this email is, this is urban legend, all right? There's no way that this could be true. I believe that people are weird enough for this to be true, but I don't think that it is true. Okay, so he emailed me, Hey, Jeff, I was listening to the story you were telling about the guy injecting cocaine into his man parts. First of all, I can't help but think that the guy probably goes by the assumed name, Bunter Haydn.

Ah, ha ha ha ha. Oh, okay. I mean, I'll give you a little joke. All right. Secondly, I have a similarly disgusting story. Really? Yeah. Okay.

So I know a guy that is a firefighter. firefighter, he's also a trained paramedic. Okay, so you know a guy that's a firefighter and also a trained paramedic. While he was doing his clinicals where he had to shadow a doctor or nurse at a hospital, he encountered a certain woman. This woman had prostituted out every known usable area that you can imagine. That's what. prostitutes do by the way frank i'm just letting you know in his email he says two or three come to mine

yes that's what happens so whatever disease or condition she was in the hospital for caused her to have a colostomy port installed in her abdomen now first of all i find this this is where i find the story goes away you would know what she was in the disease she was in the hospital for If your friend were, you know, if this was an actual story, your friend would know. But anyway, I digress. And we all have seen and known people that have had a colostomy bag. It's not pretty. It's not pretty.

It's nasty, by the way. And she began to sell that area of her body as well. Love the show. Keep it up. Frank, I believe that I, you know, I'm a, I believe that this could actually happen. which is kind of sad in my life that I believe that. But I think this is just an urban legend. I do.

I think it's just an urban legend. A story that all firefighters and paramedics after they do their clinical shadows tell. It's one of those stories that they tell just to make everybody feel good. Now, I will say that if it is true, nasty. Nastiness. But I'm sure there's a website for it.
