A Perth native,

Breed Deval, Perth, Australia native, living in Canada with her partner of four years, fell head first from a parking garage. It doesn't say how many levels, so I'm guessing maybe one, after a night out with friends in 2021. She was rushed by helicopter to the University of Alberta hospital and she was placed on life support with a traumatic brain injury and multiple broken bones. She was in a coma for four weeks and she told that the doctors told her mother that she had a 10% chance she'd survive the catastrophic injury. She emerged from the coma and showed signs of improvement which was fantastic. I mean the story is amazing. And, her parents were in Australia at the time, and it was during the COVID lockdowns, and they asked

the government, hey, we want to go see our daughter in a hospital who's probably going to die, as in a coma. Can you, you know, give us the special dispensation from the state to go? Yeah, no, sorry, no one's allowed to leave or enter the country. So that's not going to happen. I mean, that's a crime in and of itself. But she told the doctors, Canada, keep her on life support, and do not, under any circumstances, turn that off. According to the story, that's, you know, they had to abide by that. I think that might have not been altogether true if they had decided to pull the plug. But that's, again, another part of the story.

She had a friend drive eight hours every weekend back and forth to see her. Her friend's mother came to visit her to keep her company. Because obviously, you know, her parents could not come. And like I said, it could always get worse. She is now on TikTok, of course, hot coma girl one, which, you know, is true according to the picture. She is a hot coma girl one. And she shares her experiences of being in a coma and a recovery journey. She said that she definitely has a bit of PTSD.

I'm just trying to sort through my emotions, going through the accident, and then getting back to normal life, just trying to establish what my new normal is. She couldn't swallow when she first woke up. She's had to learn to walk again. My waist down to her toes, it feels like just went dead. All of her muscles were certainly lost or at least weakened by laying in bed all that time. and she said that it's frustrating not being able to do things I want to do. My mental clarity is nowhere near where it used to be. I've got brain fogginess. She said that.

I've got brain fogginess, not fog. Having a traumatic brain injury is kind of like having a concussion symptoms that are continuing. They don't go away. And like I said, that is horrible enough. But it can always get worse. And how could you say, well, wow, this girl, how could it get worse than that? Well, yes. She woke up from her coma and found out that her boyfriend, remember the guy that she'd been living with for four years?

Yeah. He never showed up to in the hospital to see how she was. He blocked her on all her social media accounts and is now living with another woman with a kid. she said I opened up my phone going to message him when a message pops up from this woman that says I am now with your boyfriend or your ex-boyfriend I have moved him out he's now living with me and my son please do not contact him oh okay

and I have not heard from him since I've been in the hospital he's completely and utterly left me in the dust so i don't even have closure as to why this happened i think you do you do know why it happened uh it's because you fell off a parking garage and went into a coma and nobody likes that not even you you would advise against it so it can always get worse friendly reminder from chewing the fat welcome welcome to suing the fat. I wanted to give you a quick update on a story I did yesterday about Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle doing a joint stand-up comedy show.

And I misunderstood the way it was written and I think I gave you, you know, false information or at least misleading information. Okay, so the show is going to be September 3rd at the O2 Arena. Now, that show is in London. I was thinking that they made the announcement in London and I didn't realize that the O2. Arena was in London. So the show is going to be in London at the O2 Arena. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, June 10th, which is today, if you're listening live, is June 9th, 2022. I was looking at the O2 Arena. It's a pretty big arena. It houses 20,000 people. It's like the second largest arena next to

the Manchester U Stadium or Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom. So it's going to be a big show. and 20,000 people under the roof for Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock should be a fun show. Now, I would guess that it will be filmed, and they can both cover their Netflix deals by going ahead and just promoting this on Netflix. So if you're in London and, you know, know the O2 Arena, I would get your tickets starting tomorrow.

Go see Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. And if you hold out and don't buy tickets, I'm guessing, and this is just a thought. I don't know this. I do not know this. I'm just guessing that they're going to want that place full. So when it comes to show night, September 3rd, if it's not sold out, they probably will give tickets away.

But if Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle together can't draw 20,000 people, it's time to give up the comedy tour. Just start doing small venues. But I'm sure that they will sell it out. Be a fun show. see and I look forward to seeing it on whatever streaming platform films the show live at the O2 Arena in London on September 3rd, 2022. If you're like me, you like to snack throughout the day, but you'd rather not pack on the

pounds doing it or at least pack on more pounds doing it. I've got some great news. Bilt Bar is here to save the day. They've got so many flavors. Bilt Bar is here to save the day.

Congratulations to a Jackson County, Missouri woman who just won $5.2 million in a settlement against Geico. Amazing. So, in an opinion issued by a three-judge panel, found that the judgment entered against

Geico through earlier arbitration proceedings, valid. and they owe this woman $5.2 million. Now, what did she do to what happened for her to get this agreement? Well, she had sex with a guy in the back of his car.

Yeah, you know, they were just hooking up in the back of his car taking care of a little backseat business. And she contended that the man caused her to be infected with an STD,

despite being aware of his condition and the risks of unprotected sex. So the insurance company said, oh, no, we need to send this case to arbitration. I don't know why you're trying to sue us over this. And they found that, no, you two had sex in the vehicle. And that directly caused or directly contributed to the HPV infection. The man was found liable for not disclosing his infection status. And the woman was awarded the $5.2 million for damages and injuries to be

paid by Geico. And Geico's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no. We don't want to pay that. We'll do some arbitration. We'll look at some other due process agreement issues. We don't want to have to pay that.

And the judge is like, yeah, no, you need to pay it. Okay, that's part of the deal. Everything is, everything is fine. So, you need to go ahead and pay this lady $5.2 million. Now, you know, you think, wow, she got the HPV.

It can only cause warts on different parts of your body. More than 200 types. About 40 of them are spread through direct sexual conduct with someone who has the virus. They can also spread through other intimate skin-to-skin contact. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States of America. So the next time you're thinking to yourself, man, I was thinking about having some unprotected business in the back seat of of your car right now

uh, you know, maybe you don't ask them. You don't say, hey, you don't have any kind of HPV infection, do you? I mean, maybe you hope you catch it. There's vaccines to help you through it. And for 5.2 million is getting the HPV worth it? Now, of course not. Just being silly. Be safe.

What are you kidding? Don't be having unprotected sex in the backseat of a car without asking if they have some sort of infection. She could have probably got more because there's no way that he says yes, right? Excuse me. I'm getting naked right now and we're going to take care of some business in the backseat of my car insured by Geico. Do you have a STD? No, not that I'm aware of. Okay.

And then so now he ended up getting more, right? He'd have to pay on top of the insurance company probably. Wow, Geico is a little unhappy with having to pay that $5.2 million. But congratulations to the Missouri woman who is unidentified in court records. Why? I've guessed. Apparently, she's embarrassed and doesn't want people to know who she is. But she's not embarrassed enough not to cash that $5.2 million.

I'll tell you that. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, my God. Gosh. Unbelievably good. So I know we have the Tony Awards coming up this weekend. Who doesn't love the Dony Awards?

But last weekend we missed the MTV Movie and TV Awards. Hosted by Vanessa Huggins at the Los Angeles Barker Hanger with the Movie and TV Awards. The nominations this year, which included 26 gender. neutral categories highlighted Spider-Man No Way Home, which has the most nods with seven total. And HBO's Euphoria Season 2, which has six nods. And of course, Robert Patton's The Batman, which has four. And I was looking through the winners. Euphoria seemed to take home quite a bit.

I mean, best performance in a show, Zendaya in Euphoria, won that. Ryan Reynolds won best comedic performance for free guy. Sean Poopies, McHenery. One for a jackass forever. Congratulations. That was under the best kiss. Really? That was the best kiss in jackass?

Okay. All right. You got me. You got me. Most frightened performance was Jenna Ortega in Scream. Congratulations to you. Best show? Euphoria. Wow. And that was against inventing Anna, Yellowstone, Ted Lasso, Loki, Squid Game. All of those are really good shows.

No question. Loki. Yeah, I like Loki, too. Euphoria, though. You know, is an interesting show. It's an interesting show, isn't it? The breakthrough performance from Sophia DiMartino was from Loki.

Won that one, Best Hero, Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, the MTV Generation Award, who thanked all of her haters. in her speech, Jennifer Lopez, won the MTV Generation Award, J-Lo, won that. Congratulations. The best fight came from Sidney-Sweeney on Euphoria. The best villain, Daniel Radcliffe in the Lost City. Best movie, Tadda! No Way Home, Spider-Man. Best performance in a movie, Tom Holland, Spider-Man, No Way Home. And the Comedic Genius Award went to Jack Black. Congratulations, Jack.

And then it goes on to music documentary, musical moment. Best host. Best host, Kelly Clarkson. Congratulations to Kelly Clarkson. She's on her way to replacing Ellen being the new Ellen. I thought that, you know, my girl was going to have a shot at the new Ellen. What's her face? Drew Barrymore.

But she's not in ready to take over for Kelly Clarkson yet. So, you know, it was just me. Paul won the best competition series. Congratulations. Man, I wish I would have tuned in for that. Darn it! And I may actually have to go to the theater this weekend.

I'm considering actually going to the theater this weekend to see Jurassic Park. I read all the reviews, you know, are pretty questionable on the movie, but I love them all. Do you, Jeff? Do you love them all? Why don't you marry him? I mean, I do. I enjoy.

I enjoy the shows. I've enjoyed the entire series. So I've got to see the final one. I've got to be there. Dominion, got to be there. So I'm actually thinking if I can get in, if I can get it, because I believe that this is going to topple, top gun this weekend as the number one movie,

and it'll make the theater group happy. Movies are back. Not really. But, okay, we'll give it to you. So, you know, might have to actually go see Jurassic Park and give you a review on Monday, or maybe give you a live review over the weekend on some of the platforms, you know,

either Instagram or YouTube or Twitter, Facebook, whatever, Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher as the YouTube channel. You know, we'll hit you up with somewhere. Pay attention. Follow, okay? Follow and like those pages

so you know what the heck is going on with myself and chewing the fat. All right. And we've got to go see Jurassic Park. weekend. I'm not wearing a mask, though. I'm not doing it. No. And so, uh, that's just the way it is. I saw, you know, I follow, I don't know why. I mean, we're getting back into the mask debate all over again now. Really? Really? Why? Why? Oh, the monkey pox. Okay. And COVID is still out there. I know. But we're going to make us, we're going to force us again? I don't think so.

I don't think that's going to happen, but they will try. It appears like they're going to start trying again. Oh, and I saw where a Joker sequel had been, has been confirmed by Todd Phillips. I know. I didn't think my man Joaquin Phoenix would be doing it. But Todd Phillips, Instagramed a shot of the script and Instagramed a shot of Hawkeen Phoenix reading the script. on his Instagram account.

It's Todd Phillips, by the way. And is the Instagram account. And it's ready to go. The film, I mean, awesome. I don't know. I don't know how much they're going to pay him. Whatever it is, it ain't enough. And Joaquin will be putting himself through hell one more time

to be a crazy, thin, out-of-control person. And they claim they don't even know what's happening. I mean, they're talking about, he's just, that it's going to happen. It's going to be Joker, Falae A Do, which translate to shared madness or a shared delusional disorder.

Now, they talked about it a couple of the reports that I read that maybe they would, you know, introduce Joker's troubled love interest, Harley Quinn. I don't know if that's going to happen or not, but it's going to be... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

It's titled, or at least the working title, right now from Todd is Joker. Foliadur. Foliadur. I don't know. I like the way I say it better. Follet. And if you made it through season one of Sex and the City Revival episodes, and just like that. Apparently, you know, they've already re-upped it for season two.

I was really bored with season one. But, you know, I did watch. it. I mean, I have Sex and the City fan. Sarah Jessica Parker and, you know, I got it. But remember they had the big Samantha deal. She said that she wasn't going to be back. She wanted nothing to do with the show, Kim Cottrell. And they teased her with text messages and she's living in Europe now. And she was such a powerful character for that show. And there were multiple times where she should have shown up in that show. And she didn't because she didn't want her nothing to do with the show. Now, of course,

According to the showrunner, Samantha Jones, will be back in season two. It said, and I like how they walk the line, Samantha's character will be back. Does that mean they're going to bring in a new Samantha? Oh, man, I don't know that the audience will be ready for that. And is Kim going to come back? As Kim decided, did they back the money truck up and say, Kim, we need you. She was pissed at Sarah Jessica over and not being nice or something, and they've, They've had a little rift between them.

But when you start backing up the money truck, just come in, do your scenes, cash to check, and shut up. Okay? That's what we want from you. Sign on the dotted line. Thank you. And as long as we're talking about films, we have Jason Bateman out as the director of Artemis with Scarlett Johans and Chris Evans.

I mean, that's a big deal. That was a lot of money spent on that. they're filming, right? I mean, he's directing. And it's a hundred million plus deal, Artemis. And, okay, we got that, no problem. And Bateman just was like, yeah, no, there's creative differences. And everybody's good.

Everybody's fine with it. We've mutually chosen to part ways on the pick. It's creative differences. Oh, okay. According to this story, both sides. respect the others work and will continue to hunt for the right project to collaborate on down the road uh-huh sure thing no problem and i see where tim burton uh did an interview with empire magazine and who doesn't i mean i love empire magazine one of my favorites uh and i look forward to each and every

magazine that gets released from empire magazine so uh anyway the tim burton was talking about Batman, and he was saying that, you know, how the company had him replaced after the third film still hurts him a little, I think. Tim's a little hurt by being replaced after saying that Batman returns was too dark. And so despite the movie's popularity, you know, Warner Brothers said, yeah, no, Burton, no, we're not letting him direct any more movies about the Cape Crusader. No, no, no, no, no. They went with Jill Schumacher, right, for Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

And Burton was like, that's a funny thing about it. I was like, wait a minute. Okay, so hold on a second. This is Tim Burton now. You complain about me. I'm too weird. I'm too dark. And then you put nipples on the costume.

Go yourself. Yeah, you know, seriously, it's probably why you didn't end up doing a third film. Yeah, I would say that's probably why. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cicot of Cephora of the FACC that I just to denichy, who energize so much, the ensemble. The format standard and mini-regruped,

On link on C4A.com or in magazine. Ever heard of data brokers? Of course you have. I mean, we've talked about the data brokers on this show before. But if you haven't, if you're a first time listener to chewing the fat, data brokers, they're the middlemen collecting and selling all those digital footprints you leave online. They can stitch together detailed profiles, which include your browsing history, online searches, and location data.

They then sell your profile to a company who delivers you a targeted ad. No big deal, right? Well, you might be surprised to learn that these same data brokers are also selling your information to the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS. Personally, I don't want the tax man showing up at my door because of some search I did on my phone. So to mask my digital footprint, I protect myself with Express VP. One of the easiest ways for brokers to aggregate data and tie it back to you is through your device's unique IP address, which also reveals information about your location. When you're connected to ExpressVPN, your IP address is hidden, and that makes it much more difficult for those data brokers to identify who you are.

ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of network traffic to keep your data safe from hackers on public. Wi-Fi. That's why I have the ExpressVPN app downloaded on all my devices, phone, computer, and even my home Wi-Fi router. All I do is tap one button to turn it on. I'm protected. It's just that easy. When I, when the little pop-up comes up on my laptop, I can't tell you how, how, you know, comfortable I feel. I'm working and I get the little pop-up on the phone. Bing. ExpressVPN connected.

ExpressVPN. dot com slash jeffy to learn more okay so we've got bears attacking well not attacking people they were in new hampshire and a couple had their car with the camera and they were looking at the bears walking along and they had a McDonald's bag and they were you know just had it sitting on the roof of their car they were out back looking at taking pictures and now the bear came up and went ahead You know, just going to add, that McDonald's is now mine. So I'm hungry and I'm just going to take the food from you. Okay, that's the way it is.

That was in New Hampshire. And of course, police are reminding everyone, hey, keep your windows up, doors locked, cars, clear of snacks. I mean, that could hold true no matter where you're at, okay? But especially if you're in an area where there could be bears. I saw the viral video of the guy being attacked by the orangutan. I mean, it doesn't say where the guy was at. It doesn't look like it was here in America. I feel like the orangutans are not that close to humans in America.

Our zoos have them over there. You know, our zoos, hey, there's the orangutans, and they're over there. Because orangutans, you know, they're pretty strong. Yeah, they're pretty strong animals. And so this guy is walking by the... this cage where this orangutan is and he grabs his shirt and then he pulls him in and pulls him in by his arms and his legs and the guy's kind of freaking out i think i may kind of freak out too i don't know if he did something to piss the orangutan off or if the orangutan was saying hey why don't you come here i'll

take care of a little orangutan business right now because you are one hot-looking human i don't know i don't know i don't know the answer but uh when you listen to the video i mean they are freaking out oh there he goes oh he grabbed the shirt he's pulling up in. Now his friend comes, tries to pull him away and the orangutan is having none of it. Oh no. And now he grabs his leg. And he pulls him in. He pulls his leg, grabs them, pulls him closer. Oh yeah. It looks like the orangutan wants a little human business right there. Pulls him in. He's holding him right up close to the cage, grabbing him. It's not going to be up to the, it's going to be up to the orangutan to let him go. Oh, now he's sideways. He's sideways trying to get out. And that was in. And then, uh, the,

the video stopped. So I don't know. Maybe if the guy finally gave in and said, uh, okay, okay, orangutan, I'll kiss you. I'm sure they finally got the guy away because the orangutan is in this cage. I mean, there's, you know, unless the orangutan, you know, started crushing his skull against the cage, but a good rule of thumb to, uh, you know, not, uh, you know, stay out of arms length from the orangutans. If they're in a cage that possibly, you know, reach you. And they're not over there.

I think you know what I'm saying. So, because you never know. The Rangangang might look at you and go, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You just don't know. You don't know. In, who died today? Who died today?

A hero dog. I know. Credited with defending her female owner from a mountain lion attack in Northern California has passed away. Really. that. A two and a half year old dog looked like

a German shepherd or I think they called it a Belgian Millennios. I don't know. I think that's just a German shepherd really. That's what it is. Eva, apparently you know, the lady, remember the lady was walking along

and she was attacked by a mountain line and the dog was having none of it and fought back tried to you know tried to save the lady and really kind of did save the lady so they're out for their stroll and the mountain lion reaches out and you know scratches the lady's shoulder and the dog eva was uh turned around and was like oh no oh no you're not doing that to my owner i'm going to go ahead and come after hugh my friend okay no and the dog guy the mountain lion was like you shouldn't have done that uh i'm a mountain lion and i realize you're uh you know fun-loving

and a little Eva dog here, but uh, new. Uh, don't not mess with me. The dog had fractures to her skull, puncture and swelling around her left eye. And just never got better. So, sad news. Eva, the two and a half year old

dog, uh, died. Uh, this is the past weekend. It's, you know, sad. It's sad, really. The lady loved it. Goodbye to my beautiful, sweet girl. You're my world, my light, my best friend. the world is a much darker place.

And so, you know, sad news that Eva, we lost Eva. She set up a GoFundMe page to help with the vet bills. So I'm not saying that it's not true. It's absolutely sad. But, you know, if you needed some money, I would say use that. This is why GoFundMe. I see these stories. And I think to myself, this is why it's me.

I know, I'm sorry. I see these stories and I'm like, well, you know, if I said my dog got attacked, I could start a go-fund me page to pay the vet bill, show a couple of pictures of a dog laying down with his head on a pillow, and people would just donate, give me money. And then I could say, oh, darn, shoot, look at that.

The dog died. It's so sad. He was my world. And then I just keep the money. I know. It's me. There's something wrong with me, I guess. Yes, really.

And then also a new TikTok challenge. I'm putting this under Who Died today because it's kind of dumb. Apparently, and we've lost a couple people who did this TikTok challenge. So the TikTok challenge is jumping in front of oncoming trucks in an attempt to make content and suffering, whatever, whatever happens to you, tough.

You made a hot video, right? So these two Indonesian teens have died. due to the Angel of Death Truck Challenge. So, you know, come on now. Come on. Do you not know, I realize that, you know, you want to go viral and you want to get the clicks on your little TikTok. I got it.

I understand it. I understand the process. But just jumping in front of a truck? No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. But, I mean, they did fulfill the angel. These two anyway, did fulfill the Angel of Death Challenge.

Congratulations. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you.

Love rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So an update from the Pentagon, the Defense Department,

ended a decades-long policy that blocked HIV-positive service members from deploying and being promoted. Yeah. Okay. So since the 1980s, the Defense Department has treated HIV as a chronic condition, allowing the Pentagon to separate out HIV-positive service members and even discharge them on the basis of their status.

I mean, I don't know why it's legal, it is, but in 1990, Americans with Disabilities Act prevented employers from discriminating against people with HIV, except and the U.S. military. But in April, a federal judge told the Defense Department it was time for the policy to go. Since current HIV treatment can allow service members to live healthy lives and pose zero risk to others. The new guidance took effect this week. It did not change, however, current Pentagon rules barring people with HIV from enlisting in the first place.

So I don't know how many people are, you know, trying to. to get into the military that have HIV. I guess they claim they have about 2,000 HIV positive service members and the U.S. military today. So good news. I mean, that's good news. If you've got HIV, you can go to war and fight in our military. And if you're in the military, they can't get rid of you.

So, mate, that's good news. Good news from the International Skating Union, I think. Yesterday, the figure skating's governing body, and I love the International Skating Union, I mean, they are some fantastic people. They voted to raise the minimum age of competitors from 15 to 17 years of age. The change comes months after the 15-year-old Russian figure skater, Camilla Venevilla, tested positive for a banned substance at the Beijing Winter Olympics. So, you know, they had the big dope.

Scandal and that raised questions about her ability to consent in medical decisions and if more should be done to protect young athletes from the intense pressures of elite sport and the coaches guiding their careers. So now the governing body says, you know what, it's necessary to protect the physical and mental health of skaters. This was going to take place beginning in the 2026 Winter Olympics. So any of you young kids out there that are you know, in your early teens and you're, you know, working really hard to try to get to the Olympics because that's when you're at your strongest as far as skating goes. Yeah, you're out. You can't do anything until, you know, 15 to 17 years of age. Sorry, take care. Oh, okay. Just because one Russian figure skater was doing that, was taking some kind of drugs? Yes, we don't want that to happen to you at all. Okay? All right. We don't want that to happen. We don't want that to happen. We, we, know best. All right.

Oh, more news from the UK. I mean, if you're, you know, there's a needle spiking problem. And I guess not just in the UK, but, you know, throughout Europe. Reports began to surface in the UK that a number of people at nightclubs, mostly women, but also some men, had been unknowingly injected with needles. Wait, people just walking up and stabbing you in the back of the neck. No, no, no, no. Drink spiking.

Victims described feeling fine one moment, then suddenly experiencing muscle spasms, dizziness, and memory loss. What? Yeah. A few people were arrested, but the attacks continued. So now it's been spreading.

An official still aren't clear whether the victims had been injected with drugs if they are getting stabbed in the back of the neck or the leg or the buttocks, or it is the drink spiking with the needles. But the reports of spiking at a nightclub sock, games, pride festivals, officials in the Netherlands are also

investigating similar incidents. All of this has people worried. And a report in the UK earlier this year found that no one knows how prevalent the issue is. But complaints suggest it's widespread and dangerous. Yeah, I mean, if it's, if no one's

stopping you and you're not paying attention, you're just out having a little get together. And, oh, does someone just stick me in the buttocks? Oh, no, now I'm dizzy. and I'm going to pass out. Can you take me home and have sex with me? When I can't consent?

Yeah. So that's what's happening, apparently. So best practices, look, stay vigilant, okay? Drink spiking is a big threat and hundreds of cases are reported in the last few months. One UK org is urging bar employees and security officials to get better educated about both of these problems. Okay? In the meantime,

watch out for yourself and others. So, I mean, no kidding. That's a dangerous thing if you're out and about because you're not thinking about that when you're out drinking, having fun with your friends.

And, you know, hey, all of a sudden, I'm not feeling so well. I mean, I don't know what you hope to get out of it. I guess if you're,

if they're going to take you and kidnap you, then, that's a terrible thing. But just to do it for the kick of having someone experience, you know, muscle spasms, disson, and memory loss, I don't know where the fun is in that. But you know what? There's still somebody that's sick enough to have fun with that.

So be prepared, wherever you're at, around the world, wherever you're listening to this show, chewing the fat. Heads up, okay? Watch out for yourself and others. Don't let anybody put a needle in your buttocks. I know unless you want them to. and I know that I'm not the only one that continues to get emails, letting me know that I have the possibility of becoming rich
