Blaze Radio Network
And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
We have got a lot of fat to get to today on chewing the fat.
It is Fat Pyle Friday.
So let's get started.
Procter & Gamble, bending the knee to Chinese social media,
which is really a government account.
But they have posted an ad on WeChat,
which is social networking.
platform in China.
They wanted to promote a line of female beauty products.
And they said, hey, women's feet smell five times worse than men's.
If you don't believe it, smell it.
And then they showed an infographic, which included a series of unsubstantiated claims
regarding feminine hygiene.
Now, you know, it could have been just a joke.
However, we know that the U.S. consumer good giants, Procter, and Gamble didn't cite any specific source.
But in 2019, a study published in the National Library of Medicine, and who doesn't read every study published in the National Library of Medicine, found that women's feet in general boasted a higher biodiversity of cultured bacteria.
species, which there were 17 individual species, and men had 14 individual species.
So, kind of true.
But scientists also said, oh, that's not statistically significant with regard to cleanliness.
No, but it is true that women have a higher biodiversity of cultured bacterial species.
So one could make the assumption that women's feet smell.
I don't know about five times worse, but worse than men's.
Well, oh my gosh, it is a sexist advertisement.
It's been slammed by detractors because heaven forbid you make some kind of joke in today's world.
Trista's trying to sell a product.
No, you've got to be factual for everything.
And it better be factual by the fact checkers.
So the ad also said that the odorousness.
of women's feet containing more sweat glands.
While the discrepancy is, I don't know, true,
they believe that men's feet generally smell worse.
Oh, you believe that?
But you don't want Procter & Gamble saying that.
Oh, okay, no problem.
Now, like I said, they bent the knee, though.
Following the outcry, Procter & Gamble issued an apology to
on the platform on Webo
and they said
we sincerely apologize for the article's
inappropriate content which
disrespected women
no it didn't but okay so if you say so it did
Procter & Gamble I'm sorry P&G
always advocates
equal tolerant
and respectful values
we also
are going to go ahead and just delete
this particular item
and we're just going to overhaul our whole WeChat account, okay?
Now, the people that are upset, it's not going to matter anyway.
This advertisement shows they look down on women.
And this is some sort of mind control, humiliating women while they're still making money from them.
Yeah, they're just trying to say that your feet stink, okay?
Here's some products to help you out.
Have a nice day.
Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.
I like knowing exactly where my meat comes from.
And with, yeah, Moink. Moinkbox.com to be exact. Wow. What were you thinking?

dot com slash jeffy moinkbox dot com slash jeffy so the jury selection for the parkland school
shooter nicholas cruz is
going on and they had they had one particular potential jurist uh this is a good plan too by the way
because my wife just got a jury duty notice uh flyer in the old mail and uh you know gosh darn it
i know she wants to serve and uh you know spend a bunch of time in the courtroom but perhaps
she can use this excuse and get out of it uh the
Don't forget, I mean, Cruz killed 14 students at Parkland and three members of the staff at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Valentine's Day in 2018.
I mean, horrific today.
And he pled guilty.
And now a jury is going to decide whether they recommend he serve life in prison or be sentenced to death.
I know which way I'm voting, but hey, that's just me.
So one lady, this Miss Bristol, Judge Scherer, I'll tell you one thing, too, another thing, just as a side note, the judge, the pictures that they posted of her, this Judge Elizabeth Scherer, wow, you become a fan of the judge.
I don't know that you want to go in front of her or not, but it's, you know, I'm not opposed to looking at her.
That's all I'm saying.
so um
miss bristol
asks the question
this is a whole entire month
uh first of all let me clarify myself
july second is my birthday july fourth is my sons
and the 18th is my other son
the judge says
speak a little bit slower and she notes
the dates that were mentioned
the sentencing is expected to take place from
June to September.
Yeah, July 7th, July 4th, July 18th.
And again, I need to figure something out.
I have my sugar daddy that I see every day.
Ah, the judge, I'm sorry?
Yeah, my sugar daddy.
I'm married and I have my sugar daddy.
I see him every day.
Okay, all right, ma'am.
We'll come back to you.
Okay.
Thank you.
So this particular potential jurist was released from possible
Jury and Dirty. Have a nice day. Others cited work commitments and others I have pre-booked travel.
I've already got stuff planned. Do you? Okay. Well, like claiming that the jury selection is going to
take place until the end of May? Jury selection is going to, it's going to take that long to find a jury.
No? Just say yes. Let's get this thing going and then we'll figure it out whether you want to, you know,
have the, you know, the prosecutor get up and say, hey, put them in, let's send him to the death penalty,
send him, put him on death row.
And the defense can say, oh, no, no, no, no.
He just needs to be in prison without parole forever.
And then go decide.
It shouldn't be taken that long.
But what do I know?
What do I know?
But if you don't want to, you don't want to serve on a jury, be sure to tell the judge, yeah, I got birthdays.
and I got travel
and, you know, I'm married
and I got a sugar daddy.
So this whole jury thing is putting a crimp in my style.
You know what else is putting a crimp in my style?
Yeah, if I'm the CEO of Red Lobster
and I've been on the job for eight months,
yeah, I got to quit.
I got to let go.
I got to talk to you later.
I got to look for something else.
Really?
Yeah.
Kelly Vallade, a veteran,
or V-A-L-A-D-E,
Kelly
Amorphopalus.
Yeah, she said that she's out
as of April 15.
Yeah, this has been an incredibly
difficult but necessary decision.
So what happened?
Either she got pushed out
or something happened.
Maybe she was fooling around
with a little red lobster bit this
on the job as the old CEO.
But she claimed we've accomplished a lot
in a short period of time.
We've built a great leadership team.
Really, because
we found out that
they have brought in some new people since she's been there.
So I know that we're going to, you know, work well with the board of directors to ensure business continuity during the search for a permanent replacement.
But, you know, everything is fine.
Don't worry about it.
Really?
Yeah.
What about, you know, the other management changes?
that we have a new marketing officer
and we have a new chief financial officer.
So that's happening too.
Now, we know that the Thailand-based seafood producer,
Thai Union, led the investors group
that acquired Red Lobster from those bastards over at Golden Gate Capital.
So, I mean, I'm sure that, and COVID.
Oh my gosh. I mean, COVID crushed these restaurants.
And Red Lobster was not the only one.
I mean, the CEO that was there before the former CEO, Kim said that was a challenging time.
The most challenging time, in fact, in company's history.
Yeah, no kidding.
And then they tried to fire it back up again and got hit with an Omicron variant.
So that's because now Kelly is gone.
It's been eight months.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm out.
a nice day. That's not a good sign for red lobster.
I will say it's been quite some time since I've been to a red lobster, but I do like red
lobster. It's been quite a while, though, since I've been there. So maybe that's part of the
problem. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink not from red
lobster. Yeah, I'll teach him. So good. Thought I was going to miss that, didn't you?
So according to this, goldfish, our American teens,
most preferred snack. What? 11% listing them as their favorite in the latest Piper Sandler survey.
Not only are the teens' fave snack, but 72% of the respondents who listed goldfish as their
top choice said they plan to eat at least the same amount or more in the next six months.
28% said they plan to cut back on their goldfish consumption.
Yeah, I mean, that's what you do right away.
You're concerned about your goldfish consumption.
I will say that ever so often, some goldfish show up at the house,
and you're like, oh, yeah, I forget how much I like goldfish.
But I wouldn't put them on a list as a snack.
I guess maybe someone in my house would when they get the old Sam's Club,
Costco size goldfish container.
So I was looking at this 43rd semi-annual taking stock with teens survey, spring of 2022.
Self-reported spending improved by 4% to $2,367.
Uh-huh.
Parent contribution was 60%.
Yeah, no kidding.
Females led increase in spending with all females, spending 9% led by clothing.
footwear? Yeah, no kidding.
It goes on and talk about what they're spending it on.
Alta is, remained the number one
preferred beauty destination with 48%
mind share. Yeah, Sephora remained number two.
Yeah, Alta is a big, big stopping off
point for the females in my household.
Chick-fil-A is the number one restaurant. Wow.
Chippolei, up to number three.
And the Starbucks,
main number two.
But that's not a, I mean, they keep,
Tarbucks, is it a restaurant?
I guess. You get your
little donut ball
there along with your coffee, I guess.
Okay.
Teen's interest in plant
based meat is slipping.
Oh, huh.
Huh. Huh. Huh.
Interesting. They spend 30% of their
daily video consumption on Netflix and
YouTube. Yeah, no kidding.
HBO Max gained a share
with social media, number one, a TikTok.
Snapchat, number two, and coming out at number three, once again, as the gram.
So, yeah, I mean, but those are the top three.
Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.
A lot of Snapchatters and TikTokers, too, in my household.
And I was against the whole, don't even get me started on the TikTok thing.
Don't do it.
I don't want to hear it.
Anyway, that's a little.
Let's see, Oma, Emma Chamberlain held her spot as the top social media personality.
Kanye, it's yay, damn it, it's not Kanye.
It's yay.
Moved up from number eight to number two.
Wow, yay, bumped up a bunch.
Kylie Jenner, David Dobrick, Charlie DiMilio fell from the top ten, while Zendaya, Gideon.
And MarketPlyer made their debut.
Well, congratulations.
Anyway, that's just a little bit of the old Piper Sandler, 43rd annual, semi-annual, I'm sorry, taking stock with teens survey.
Hey, congratulations to Pink Floyd, too.
You know them, you love them, do you?
They are not a fan of this network, and they, well, I could tell you some Pink Floyd stories.
But to just know that they have a new song out, and good for them.
They decided they needed to get back together.
It's called Hey, Hey, Rise Up.
It should be available now, as you're hearing this podcast today on the 8th of April, 2022.
Their songs should be available.
Hey, hey, rise up.
See, David Gilmore, Nick Mason, joined by Guy Pratt and Nitanzwanee,
with an extraordinary vocal by Andrei Klyknuck, yuck.
Amheri...
Amorphafalus.
Pretty sure he doesn't go by that.
But I see where the Hay-Hay Rise Up video is out, and you can watch it.
It starts out with on February 22nd, Russia invaded Ukraine.
Boombok singer, Andrea Kut.
Amorpha Phalas.
That's not what it says.
He ended his U.S. tour and returned home to Ukraine.
Three days later, he posted a video on Instagram, singing the Ukrainian song,
The Red Viburnum in the Meadow.
And man is.
that you can't get me humming the red viburnum in the me more than when it's springtime in Texas
and it just makes me think of the red viberum in the meadow so I'm sure it's going to be a
you know big hit for Pink Floyd hey hey rise up so I had an ad pop-up today this morning
while scrolling the gram.
And it's for a luggage.
And I had never seen this luggage before.
It's Remoa, R-I-M-O-W-A, with, and the front ad is with Rihanna.
And no one builds a legacy by standing still.
And they have these four icons.
This is their ad.
I clicked on the link.
I know.
And four icons, maybe that's why they put it in my timeline.
They knew I was going to click on it.
And four icons redefined travel as we know it.
They have Rihanna, they have LeBron James, who is in the classic silver luggage,
and then they have Patty Smith.
I guess, you know, yeah, I know who she is.
Is she iconic, I guess?
Roger Federer with the classic black.
And according to Patty Smith, travel is its own book.
And it talks about her poem.
It says, read her.
her full poem.
And its travel is its own book.
And I just want to, I think I'm going to read you the,
the Patty Smith poem, which looks beautiful.
Oh, she even narrates it on this ad.
I mean, we could get Patty's version, too.
I don't know that I want to do that.
Hold on.
Let's see if Patty, what else do I?
I may have a few other tabs open with audio, so cool your jets for a second, okay?
Oh, yeah.
What his face pops up there?
Pat McAfee, I catch a little bit of him, his audio is up, so we'll get rid of that.
Let's get to the great Patty Smith and her audio, shall we?
I bet it's great.
Captured in film.
Oh, yeah.
In memory, form its leaves that when turned,
reveal a story of a life.
We long to add new pages.
Oh, God, no, I can't.
Images we have captured in film
in memory form its leaves
that when turned reveal a story
of life. A rock,
a river. Oh, my gosh.
We long to add new pages.
We long to explore.
We long for new heights. Don't forget,
this is for luggage, okay?
I mean, she's writing this because it's
it's a luggage deal that the federer and her and lebron and riana have okay we revisit places
in a new light new shadows forming on architecture on winding streets we long to cross
welcoming bridges connecting sea and sky and city we are ready to break through barriers to don our
coats, to gather provisions, to reclaim motion, to see with new eyes, the familiar and the
strange. New pages for our story. The unceasing turning of the leaves of life. Oh my gosh, that is beautiful

I feel like
this is
not true
but Carnival
the
world's largest cruise operator said the week ending April 3rd was its busiest week in
bookings history uh busiest week of bookings in history there's got to be some kind of weird
thing that they're playing with numbers on that because i feel like that's again not true uh i feel
like those cruise ships are floating incubators for
all things ick.
That's probably not a good ad campaign.
For the cruise ships.
Hello, come join us on the floating incubator of all things ick.
But I just kind of feel that way.
Oh, Jeff, cruises are fine.
You go there, you get your room,
and then you go gamble and eat and get fat to hang out on the deck and pool and slide.
and they're floating cities.
Okay, whatever, that's fine.
Well, I just feel like they're floating incubators of all things, ick.
That's why I do ad campaign for Carnival.
What do you think?
Carnival, call me, I'm here.
If you're thinking about getting a new gig and you're thinking,
do I want to work for the cruise ship industry and be on the...
be on the incubator for all things ick.
Or do I want to be a truck driver?
I would go for a truck driver.
No one supports truckers more than this program and to myself,
chewing the fat and Jeff Fisher.
I'm telling you.
But Walmart just enhanced becoming a truck driver.
They made it even better.
The pay raise for 12,000 truck drivers start range for new drivers,
$95,000 and $110,000.
The average, $87,05.
That was the average, and that's going to go up now.
Nice.
And they've got a new training program.
I'm sorry, a new fleet development program,
new private fleet development program,
this 12-week program taught by companies' established drivers
who will be called certified driver training.
trainers. Nice. So the people that have been driving for a while now will get to train the
the other drivers. And you can become they're going to be the certified driver trainers.
You're going to be then they're going to turn you into an established driver. I mean,
that's a good gig. They said the average salary for a long haul driver is $56,491. That's a starting wage.
So, or I mean, that's the average for a long haul driver.
So Walmart is doubling that.
That's a lot.
You can quote me on that.
That's a lot.
Now, they claim here that trucker shortages more severe as demand to move freight
reaches historic highs.
The American Trucking Association,
it's a trade group, estimates that the nation is short about 80,000 drivers.
Oh, okay.
Some industry experts and individual drivers disagree with the old ATA assessment,
claiming that the issues run deeper than just low pay.
Uh-huh.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the number of workers in the trucking industry is actually up 0.9% from two years ago,
but the average number of employees at trucking
companies has decreased from 10.6 in 2019 to 9.4 at the end of 2021, marking a pivot towards
smaller carriers with less demanding schedules. Drivers in fleets with 30 plus million in annual
revenue had a whopping 92% turnover rate at the end of 2020. Wow. So the big companies get big
turnover. That probably means they're not treating their drivers.
part of the high turnover has to do with low pay uh yeah and the most recent data puts uh their median
annual pay at 47,000 that's even lower than the 50s wow uh but they talk about the schedules and
unpaid wait times uh is agonizing we've talked to plenty of truckers uh and that's you know that's a big
deal i would if you're a trucker and you reach out and you you know you know some of the problems
email me chewing the fat of the blaze.com and I'll get back to you and you can let me know your thoughts.
I would love that very much.
They're talking about a University of Michigan study found that self-driving trucks could
eliminate about 500,000 jobs in the coming years.
Well, yeah, look, we've talked about that as well.
And I don't think that's going to, that may eliminate some of the long haul truckers,
but that's not going to eliminate those self-driving.
semis are not going to be delivering in cities.
They're still got to have truckers and
deliverers to reach the destination.
Right? I mean, you're still, and plus, you know,
you might be able to have some cross-country
driverless trucks, but I don't
I just don't, I don't see that
taking, I don't see that hurting as much.
I really don't. But, you know, what do I know?
I just feel like the long haul in many areas aren't going to be able to do the self-driving trucks.
I mean, you know, right now, at least in the next, you know, 20, 30 years.
They'll be able to do the long halls between big cities.
I don't know.
I have to sit down and think about that a little bit more because I feel like you're still going to have truckers do the,
from where the self-driving truckers.
truck stop to their final destination.
Right?
The self-driving truck isn't going to take it into Bill's warehouse.
But maybe it will.
Maybe it will.
And maybe we're all just going to be getting universal basic income and working for robots.
That was uplifting, huh?
Okay, not really.
Maybe you'd be driving the new four-wheeled electric bike urban delivery vehicle that UPS is
testing and making.
I know.
They're making a four-wheeled.
E-Quod electric cargo bike for deliveries in densely packed urban areas, where, of course, bikes
have better and easier access to complement its push into electric vehicles.
They look like a little kid's vehicle, but it's UPS.
It's got the UPS green and the big window in front.
You know, look, I see in our old neighborhood that we used to live in, and I don't know if they,
I don't remember if they did it in this neighborhood this year or not, but in our old neighborhood,
they would, they rented, and I say they, UPS, and I guess it was UPS,
or maybe they all got together and, you know, the big delivery product,
come all, and they rented a storage space not far,
it's right just outside of the neighborhood,
and UPS would then deliver from golf carts and wagons in the neighborhood,
so that the delivery trucks just had to come and drop off at the garage.
And then they had the minor deliveries.
They don't, now they'll have these.
How cool is that?
Right, an electric bike?
So you can just pedal and push and plug it in.
And the electric battery has a range around 40 miles.
And so it would be great.
And if you pedal hard, you can go faster.
Yeah, then if you put, I don't know how much weight these bad boys will put on it.
But I feel like the more packages, and that's usually the case,
The heavier, the E-quod, the slower it's going to go.
But maybe that's just me.
I don't know.
I could be wrong.
So if you're tired of being a trucker and you think those electric long-haul trucks are taking your jobs,
you can go work for UPS and use the old four-wheeled E-quod electric cargo bike and you can zip it,
okay, because that's what you're going to be doing.
I see where I really bummed that my son didn't get invited to this down in Austin.
But Elon Musk, my man, Elon.
call me what are you doing uh he had the big grand opening event for his new uh mega factory in
austin near the austin airport it is a monster building i mean he even joked put it on his side it's
taller than the burghs caliphah which is uh you only the tallest skyscraper in the world it says
here in the story it's the world's oh it's the world's tallest skyscraper skyscraper i thought it was just
the world i thought it was said this the tallest skyscraper in dubai yeah it's also in the world
And he also said that, and I don't know that this is a factual true, but it's Elon, so I've got to believe it.
194 billion hamsters could fit into the building.
That's pretty funny.
Now, man, I wanted my son to have an invite to this party so bad.
But he talked about how he's going to make 500,000 units of the Model Y in a single year in Austin.
He talked about the company starting production of its cyber truck,
and he knows that timelines have shifted,
and things have gotten a little out of hand with chip shortages and the invasion.
But he's saying Tesla vehicles comprise more than 75% of all fully electric cars sold to the U.S. today,
which is amazing because this administration and our president mentions Elon Musk never.
Never.
it is absolutely amazing that Elon doesn't get mentioned by this administration.
But man, the cyber rodeo party took place.
It looked like it was fun.
Elon had his black cowboy hat and his buckle and a t-shirt.
He's the man.
It's only a $1.1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.
So I don't know, maybe you can wheel your UPS electric.
What's it called again?
the exact, it's an electric, the four-wheel
E-quod, the electric cargo bike.
You can bike that down to Austin
and work for Elon at the Tesla factory.
Not a bad idea.
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.
But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice?
Yes, we deliver those.
Goaltenders, no.
But chicken tenders, yes.
Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too.
Along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials.
Order Uber Eats now.
For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age.
Please enjoy responsibly.
Product availability varies by region.
See app for details.
Speaking of Elon, I mean, he's busy.
He's taking over Texas.
He's got the SpaceX company based here in Texas.
He's got Tesla, a big company.
Well, he's not basing it, but yeah, he's basing everything here in Texas.
And he just opened up his monster, you know, what we just talked about in
Austin. But he's got his
Falcon 9
rocket down in
Florida at Kennedy Space Center
to take off on the Axiom
Axe 1 as they
take off and they're going to go to the ISS
and believe me they're not space
tourists. Okay? Yeah.
They're not space tourists. They're astronauts.
They've trained.
Okay. Okay.
You got it. You're astronauts.
Okay. You're not
space tourists. Yeah, we're not flying up there on Blue Origins, a little penis-shaped rocket, okay?
We're not flying up there on Virgin Galacti's little fun float-around flight, okay?
We're going to the ISS and we're going to do some space studies. Got it? Yeah, we're going to
conduct studies on brain health and cardiac stem cells and cancer and aging. Okay, so back off us.
We're astronauts. Okay, okay, you're astronauts.
I also saw that I don't know that I knew this.
Maybe we talked about it.
I just, you know, I don't remember.
My brain is fried.
But I remember following Scott Kelly on his record-breaking days in space,
and he spent 340 days in space.
And it was, you know, it was cool at the time.
He was the first guy to do it in the longest in space.
And I remember following on Instagram with all his photos and stuff from the ISS.
Well, now this.
The one astronaut, Mark Vandehae, returned to Earth last week
after completing the longest mission in space alongside the two Russian astronauts,
which, well, you know, they're out now.
Have a nice day.
Get out.
We're pushing them out the door.
He set records.
He remained in space for 355 days.
So he beat Scott's record.
That's quite a time.
That's quite a time to stay in space.
And so congratulations.
to Mark if I forgot to congratulate
him because it's awesome.
I would do that in a heartbeat.
That would be really, really cool.
And we found out in the documentary
contact years ago that
if you live at a space station,
you can live longer because
disease stays
at bay with the zero
gravity.
Low oxygen-based
space stations. But hey, it's
just, you know, that's just history.
Documentary. Facts are
That's a great scene too when he's in the space station.
He's in mirror now.
He was in mirror, right?
He wasn't in the ISS.
And that's where he asked her, why build one when you have the cost of two?
Want to take a ride?
I know.
Think about it.
All right.
Well, it is Friday, so it's time for What's the Lie?
Yeah.
Welcome.
Welcome to What's the Live?
the lie, where the contestant tries to decipher the lie from four.
Count of one, two, three, four headlines.
One of them is not true.
That's where we get.
What's the lie?
Welcome to What's the Lie?
Today's contestant, DJ Scott.
DJ, welcome to What's the Lie.
Hey, Jeffie, happy to be here.
It's actually Scott.
DJ is one of my many jobs.
Oh, no, no, no.
We're calling you DJ.
All right.
I'm talking to my producers here.
So, all right.
DJ, it's fine.
So where are you from, Scott?
Just east of Detroit, Michigan.
Wow.
Not all the way to Ann Arbor?
Just east of Detroit.
No, just east.
You've lived in Michigan for a while.
I have.
No, Clemens, bring a belt?
Yeah, absolutely it does.
Yeah, it's right there.
If I hold up my hand, if you look at the
map, it's right there. It's very simple.
It's right there. So,
are you ready to play? What's
the lie? Scott?
Jeffrey, I've been digging into news
articles all week. I am ready.
All right. So
three of these news
headlines about Will
Smith's slapping
of Chris Rock at
the Oscars are real.
And one, of course,
is not.
Headline number one.
The slap shows why Apple should shake up its events.
Headline number two.
Jim Carrey.
I'd sue Will Smith for $200 million over that slap.
Headline number three.
Will Smith taught kid named Chris how to slap before the Oscars debacle.
Headline number four.
Four recipes for roasted sheet-paned vegetables that will slap harder than
Will Smith.
Those are your four
headlines. You've got to decide
which one is the lie.
The slap shows why Apple should
shake up its events. Jim Carrey
I'd sue Will Smith for $200 million
over that slap. Will Smith
taught kid named Chris how to
slap before Oscar's debacle.
Headline number four, five recipes
for roasted sheet pan vegetables
that will slap harder than
Will Smith.
Scott, are you Reggie?
to tell me which one is the lie?
I believe I am, Jeffrey.
All right.
Number one.
Number one.
You would be absolutely wrong.
Oh, no.
No.
We wanted you to win so bad, too.
DJ Scott, but no.
Sorry, if you would have guessed,
number four, the four recipes of roasted sheet pan vegetables.
you would have been a winner, but don't worry, Scott,
because we're going to send you home with a brand new.
Thanks for listening to What's the Lie.
