What would you do if you pulled into a gas station and you go to the pump and you look at the, you know, different varieties of gasoline, the regular, the high test, and the high octane. And one of them said 69 cents a gallon. Which particular octane are you going to choose? Yes, the 69.

a gallon octane, which was the Shell 91 octane, the high test from Shell. That happened in Rancho Cordova, California, if you're not sure where that is. Just picture California as your arm and, you know, how it has a little bend there. The Rancho Cordova is right there in the middle, right by your elbow. Anyway, that's just the map of California for you. The customers pulled in and there was some sort of glitch at the O'SHel station. somebody who's probably not working at the O'Shell station anymore, typed in the wrong numbers on the decimal point.

And instead of $6.99 a gallon, it was $0.69 a gallon. And people were filling up. We even had an Instagram post that said, we got to fight these gas prices somehow, $0.69 a gallon. I am loving this. And people were calling up their friends and it was getting busy calling up. I mean, if I pulled in and it was $0.69 a gallon. You're calling the wife.

You're calling the neighbor. Hey, you need to get down here to the shell right now. Just pull in and start filling up the 91 octane. Let's go. And so, you know, that happened for three hours. I didn't even notice. The employees were like, yeah, people were out there smiling and not really looking at each other and just filling up. It was pretty amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised. And, you know, hey, absolutely everyone is going to do that and good. And, you know, I would be, I would be one. one of them. No question. But I wouldn't be surprised that here in the coming, I don't know, week or so, we find out that they charge the people who, you know, use their card and I'm sure most everyone did, that if you bought gas and you purchased the 91 octane at the Shell Station for 69 cents a gallon, you get charged the full amount. I don't know if they could get away with it, but I wouldn't be surprised that they try.

But man, for a while in Rancho Cordo. Some people were really happy. Because 69 cents a gallon is pretty sweet. I know I paid $4.54 a gallon here in Fort Worth this weekend. And I was really surprised. We went to the Sam's Club to pick up some groceries and spend about, you know, million dollars inside of Sam's Club for a few items. And then at Sam's Club, they're all rowed up, lined up to get gas at 456. And I'm like, well, no, we just went by the small Walmart gas

station at 454. Why are you lining up for 456? And so, you know, I kept waiting for them to change it at the small station closer to my house. They haven't. And so, I mean, it was 454. Sad that, You know, the best price in the area is $4.54 a gallon, but that's where we're at today. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So last week we talked about the menstruation documentary, Periodical, and that talked about, you know, people free bleeding and period blood for facials. And now we find out that there's actual tampon shortage. I know. It's so weird.

They're talking about there's been shortage on the shelves for months, that nobody's talking about it. I've been ordering my tampons on Amazon. I've been getting price gouged. And so they're saying, hey, where are the tampons? And according to the experts, the shortages appear to stem from supply constraints around key materials, like cotton and plastic,

which are also used in personal protective equipment and have been in high demand. from the start of the pandemic. Oh, okay. And I guess, you know, there's just another, another thing that supply chain bottlenecks are causing. Sure, there's baby formula shortages. Sure, there's shortages on everything in America.

But we can't have the tampon shortage. Now, the CFO of Procter and Gamble, who, you know, makes, you know, I don't know, they own tampon. and the always brands. She said that, look, the increased demand linked to an ad campaign by the comedian Amy Schumer

is what caused the retail growth. And so we're trying to keep up. We're working 24-7. And we understand that it's frustrating for consumers when they can't find what they need. We can assure you this is a temporary situation. Oh, okay. So it's all, it's Amy Schumer's commercial that is causing the shortages.

Now, I remember seeing the commercial with Amy Schumer, and I thought, man, that is a god-awful dumb commercial. But apparently, people loved it and said, hey, we need to buy those products. So good for Amy Schumer for creating such an ad. Now, I'm going to play the ad for you. You can decide for yourself. whether this ad caused the shortages. Now, the YouTube page that I brought up said, what's your combo, time to tampax with Amy Schumer?

It's hashtagged Time to Tampax, and it has 154,000 views. Only 99 likes, by the way. So we'll see if this particular ad, you know, caused the shortages or not. Oh, no. Someone just got her period. Oh, man.

What size you need? Wait, there's more than one size? Yes, your flow changes and so should the size of your tampax. Only tampax has five sizes. If it hurts to remove, go down. If it leaks. He has a whole display in the bathroom. I'll take it a regular for today and for tomorrow a super.

Nice. Nice. The only tampon with a leak guard braid to help give you more leak free periods. Time to tampax? What's your combo? Oh, that's fantastic. No wonder people are rushing to the store, because it is hashtag time to tampax.

Yeah, it's her fault. 100% her fault. And if all that wasn't enough, we have a pepper shortage. So those of you that love saracha and, you know, you want to put that condiment on whatever you're cooking, there's a chili pepper shortage. So the California-based Hoyfong, Inc. confirmed that its beloved products,

including the saracha hot chili sauce, chili garlic, and the samba olik would be affected. We are, we're taking it easy. We're not going to be having this product on the shelves, as the pepper shortage is severe and related to the climate.

So if you're wondering where your condiment is, it's because we have a pepper shortage as well. And all of that just leads to price. increases. It's incredible to me. The consumer price index rose 8.6% in May from a year ago. The highest increase since December of 1981. Core inflation, excluding food and energy. Yeah, you don't want to count food and injury. Only rose 6%. They were expected to be even higher. Surging food, gas, and energy prices all contributed to the gain with fuel oil up 106.7%. over the past year.

Shelter costs, which comprise of one-third of the CPI, rose at the fastest 12-month pace in 31 years. The rise in inflation meant workers lost more ground in May with real wages and declining 0.6% from April and 3% on a 12-month basis. So, I mean, what that means is that everything is going up. And if you've been to the grocery store, you already know it. We don't need the government or any of the consumer price indexes to tell us. It's just incredible.

I know that there were reports all weekend long. Craft Heinz, Tyson, Campbell Soup, all warned that they would raise prices on certain products due to skyrocketing costs of labor, packaging, ingredients, and transportation. It's just amazing. And if you've been, I went, I told you, I went to Sam's Club. and I went to Walmart to do some shopping and, of course, you know, get gasoline as well. Three things that, uh, you just see it. You just see it. You look in your shopping cart and you say, okay, that's all I got.

That's what I, what I have. And you look at the price for what it costs you. And you say, wow, that does not seem right. But it is. You're not walking out of those, not pushing that card out of the store without paying. at that price. So it is. And we also,

they want to believe, I mean, it's on everything, right? I mean, you see the headlines. Oh, the UN food price index already shows international rice prices

creeping up. Yeah. No kidding. Everything is creeping up. So when you talk about a recession, and I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to talk about this on chewing the fat. I apologize.

But it just seems. to me that when we're being told that something could be coming, something would be happening, it's already here. To quote, the documentary Twister, it's already here. You know what else is here? Monkeypox. Monkeypox tally, 45 cases across 15 states and the District of Columbia. global case count passes 1,300 across 31 countries. Amazing. According to the experts, we let monkey pox spread for too long. If it infects our pets, there's no getting rid of it.

If the pox currently circulating in the U.S. spreads to rats, hamsters, or gerbils, then it becomes endemic to those species, and there would be no easy way to contain it. We know that the U.S. has bought more monkeypox vaccine, as the global case count grows. They say the U.S. has identified 45 monkeypox cases on Friday. I was looking at the case count here in the U.S.

and you're looking at California has 10. New York has 11 cases. Colorado has three. District of Columbia has two. Florida has five. Illinois has four. Wow. Utah has two.

Hawaii has three. Oh, my gosh. I mean, incredible, the rest of the states, I mean, have one, Arizona, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, all have only one. Come on, we can do better. Start spreading that monkey pox.

Let's go. Let's get those numbers up. I mean, no, no, we don't want that. Just incredible, incredible times. All right, let's go to the break room. It's such an incredible time. Let's go to the break room, shall we? And while we're getting something cold to drink in the break room,

we might as well snack on a built bar. I mean, everyone likes a good snack throughout the day, but you'd rather not pack on the pounds doing it. Am I right? Yes, of course I am. I am. I've got great news, though, Bilt Bar is here to save the day.

They've got so many flavors, there's something for everyone. When you talk to a Bilt Bar fan, and I am one of those people in that Bilt Bar fan club, we're passionate about our favorites. We've got amazing flavors like coconut, mint brownie, double chocolate, salted caramel, cookies and cream, along with a whole lot more. I'm not sure which my favorite is. It's either salted caramel or the mint brownie. maybe it's the coconut

or right maybe it's the double chocolate maybe it's the cookies and cream I'm not sure and if you can't pick a flavor right off the bat you can get a mixed box where you're going to get two of each of their nine regular flavors built bars have up to 18 grams

I'm sorry, Jurassic World Dominion. Looks like I got 143.3 million at the box office. Top Guns still got $4.5.

50 million, but Jurassic World Dominion, soared to the top, of course, you know, it was going to take over for, you know, Top Gun. Hello, take care, Top Gun. Once you move off to the side a little bit, Jurassic World is here. I thought it was really good. The reviews were, you know,

they got some bad reviews. I don't know why. I read some of the bad reviews before we went on Friday, which I shouldn't have done. And I thought, oh, no. And so then I went and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Now, I love the Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Series, all of them. I really do.

You know, obviously some are better than others. I would put this one as probably the third in the string. So you've got, you know, Jurassic Park, the first one. And then Jurassic World, the first one. And then this one, Dominion, as the three. And then the other three can, you know, fight it out for the bottom, which I, you know, I'll watch and I enjoy them, but they're not as good as these three.

I thought it was really good and so the reviewers can bite me. That's my review for Jurassic World Dominion. The other reviewers can bite me. We'll see though, we'll see how it turns out because, you know, they got 143 million this weekend.

We'll see what happens, you know, as the following weekend because Top Gun is still hanging tough and we'll see how Dominion holds up for the second weekend. But I enjoyed the heck out of it. I will say also, I win. I win. and we spent, I don't know, I spent like on 11 bucks a ticket or whatever to get in, and then I spent another million dollars at the movie theater on snacks.

So that's good, right? I mean, the movie theaters are happy to be back. We'll get you the door for a dollar and charge you a billion dollars for popcorn and snacks and you drink. No problem, don't worry. There's free refills, but who wants to get up during the movie and get a free refill? not me. Oh, you know what you do, Jeff,

is you get a refill on the way out the door, so you have a free soda on the drive home. Oh, okay, well, that's a good idea. I wish I would have thought of that. But I will say, here's the deal, though. I was kind of happy. We, I purchased, I purchased the tickets online. You know, so I had them and reserved our seats.

And then I got there, and I, I hadn't really realized that I had reserved them in a 3D theater. and so you know whatever it's fine i don't care but when we got there and i don't know if they did this for everyone i ended up talking to the guy the ticket counter because i had a couple of questions i was asking about and he was he was really nice and i was just talking to him and uh you know i treated him like he was a real human being because i don't know he was and uh i know you find it weird i was actually talking to people that worked there but as we were coming through the guy stops me and he goes here uh you know you got tickets for the three ds

theater and it's not in 3D. So here's a couple of passes for another movie whenever you want to come. Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. I don't know if they did that for everyone that had reserved tickets for that theater. And if they did, then, you know,

I appreciate him making me feel special off on off to the side. So, I mean, that was nice of him and I really appreciate it. Thank you. I ended up watching the Xbox Bethesda event. uh yesterday i think of it was on sunday and uh they're showing all the new shows and the new stuff that they've got coming out in the next year year and a half for stuff that they're working on

and they talk to the bosses and then see you know it's a fun little event but they showed this game starfield man an extended look at their new game starfield wow it looked amazing and todd Howard, the head guy there for Bethesda, Xbox, he confirmed that it's going to feature over a thousand planets all open for you to explore across a hundred solar systems. It was amazing. Because as you're watching them talk about the game, before he announced that, you're thinking, wow, that's a lot, because you're going to different planets, and you're creating what's happening on these planets. And then he comes on and says, yeah, well, we've got the entire universe. So we've got over 1,000 planets, and we've got over 100 solar systems.

But just amazing, this is Starfield from Xbox. But I just incredible. It'll be, that is, it'll probably, you'll probably need your own computer system to download everything. Yeah, I got to the first 20 planets, no problem. But I went to solar system 25 and it's downloading kind of slow. So I need to upgrade my computer system. No doubt about that. But it was, it's just incredible to me how, where we're at in this game.

It's just amazing. And I see where I saw the headline that said Squid Game is getting a second season on Netflix. I thought that was already a done deal. Maybe not. I mean, maybe it's official now, 100% official. But Squid Game is getting a second season. And so, you know, we'll see. The official green-lit squid game.

so we'll see if that's going to be as good as the first one because the first one was amazing. I mean, it was the biggest ever series at launch for the company. It was the first ever Korean series to reach number one of the United States. I mean, it was pretty amazing, and it was a squid game world there for about a month or two. And it was right before Halloween. So, you know, there were a lot of squid gamers Halloween outfits this year, like especially the guy across the street from me I wish he would have had his gun with him though

it's all I wanted him to have he had the outfit he had the mask he just wasn't carrying the weapon man I wanted him to be carrying the weapon so the other headline that I saw all weekend was Justin Bieber canceling his tour and he has some kind of disease or something I thought what yeah so I went and I look where he posted a video on his Instagram account to his 241 million followers

at Justin Bieber and you know I saw I watched his video and he's you know it's amazing he's got this Justin no it's not it's Justin Bieber it's not his own syndrome he doesn't have that yet although it could be called

that soon it's the Ramsey Hunt syndrome and it's a virus that attacks the nerve in his ear and his facial nerves has caused his face to have paralysis. I mean, the one side of his face doesn't even move. Amazing. Apparently, it happens when a case of the shingles impacts the facial nerve near the ear. Causes a painful rash as well as paralysis and hearing loss. And so it's caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. But that quick treatment can reduce the risk of

complications. Wow. So he said you can see in the video the one he's got one eye that doesn't blink. He can't smile on the one side of the same side of his face and his one, you know, his nostril doesn't move. So it's full paralysis on the one side of his face. And so he was just apologizing for having to cancel the tour and he wants to, he needs to rest and he's he wants to get back to normal and get to resting and he said that, you know, I've done everything to get better, but my sickness is getting worse at the time. So he's just incredible that, you know, he's got this, I'm sure in the next year or two, somebody else will get it. And it will be called the Justin Bieber syndrome. And Ramsey Hunt, whoever Ramsey Hunt is, will be out. Have a nice day. You're going to lose your

syndrome, Ramsey, because Justin has got it. Ramsey's going to lose his syndrome. Oh, no. I should have put that under who died today. Who died today? Ramsey Hunt syndrome died today because Justin Bieber caught your syndrome, and now it's his. Ramsey Hunt syndrome, the name. Rest in peace.

Finally, I can go to a drag queen. story at a zoo. No one supports zoos more than this show, chewing the fat. And a Montana Zoo, the Zoo Montana in Billings, Montana, beautiful this time of year, by the way,

has planned a June 22nd event, and it's the Drag Queen Story Hour, and it's for Pride Month, so we can celebrate, and then there, people are a little upset. The Montana Family Rights Alliance said, hey, why are we doing

this at the zoo and the zoo said get over it all right tough to the 406 pride drag queen story hour being held at the zoo let me be clear zoo Montana prides itself and being inclusive of all living beings and so 406 pride is a respected and valued community asset one we are proud to support and a host at Zoo Montana. And so your threats of no longer supporting the zoo and your personal threats, get over it. Okay? This is harmless and fun reading event that has held throughout the country. And at the end of the day, if your personal agenda does not fit this event, we simply ask you to do not come to the zoo that day. It would be a shame to never allow your children back to the zoo because of one simple event.

Happy Pride Month. I mean, I kind of agree with that. But when did this drag thing take over? I mean, I guess it's, Jeff, drag queens have been everywhere all the time. I know, I know. I just don't recall drag queen story hours being so huge. But okay, all right. And then I see where we have a zoo in Texas.

the San Antonio Zoo, I'm sorry, the Amarillo Zoo. Why, I think I was thinking of it was San Antonio. It's in Amarillo. The Amarillo Zoo captured a strange image outside the zoo in the early morning hours at the end of May. And it looks like a Chupacabra. As an unidentified Amarillo object, they don't know what it is. It looks like a furry. It looks like a furry.

dressed up with a you know some kind of fox mask uh i don't know or it could be just someone in dragon they were celebrating pride month early because it happened at the end of may but uh things are happening at zoos man it is the place to be zoos around the world are the place to be and that's why we support them here on chewing the fat uh we might as well keep with you know animals in the news right we've got uh we were told that rats with backpacks with backpack are being trained to help earthquake survivors. Good. Good. I mean, at least they can try to be helpful.

So a special group of rats are learning to crawl into earthquake debris with tiny backpacks allowing rescue teams can talk to survivors. And, you know, okay, great. It's a nonprofit in Africa. It's hoping this real-life project can save lives around the world. this is we talked about this the oldest one died right with these people not long ago and he was the head guy he no he was the bomb one he was the bomb rat that just died right that's what we were talking about not the earthquake survivor finder rats that's what they are that's the earthquake

survivor finder rats and man you ought to be proud if you work with the with the nonprofit organization APO on a project named Hero Rats. Man, you'd be proud. Be proud to be training Hero Rodents to go, look if they're saving people

great. You know, carry your little backpack and go don't mind the rat. Are you still alive? Yes, I have 80 tons of concrete on me. Okay, well, we're going to bring in a couple more rats and they're going to lift the concrete off.

for you and then you can crawl out of there, okay? I don't think we've reached that point. But the rat can at least alert to people, hey, somebody's down there. So that's good. Good news on the training of rats. And then we have the elephant story. Now, this elephant story is just amazing to me

because I want it to be real, but I don't think it is. So an elephant kills a woman in India. She's 70, and he, you know, she's off getting, water. That's where we're headed here in the U.S. And I hope this isn't true. But apparently in this

village, she was out collecting water. Man, that's what you want to do in today's world is go collect water for your home. Amazing. And so, I mean, a billion people in this country and they're still just collecting water.

Oh, man. In this village in eastern India. Anyway, there was an escaped elephant. And apparently it came out of nowhere. Yeah, because elephants, they just sneak up on you. And then one thing you turn a corner, nothing there, next thing you know, elephant. So it came out of nowhere, and this elephant charged this lady and trampled her.

And she later died at the hospital from, obviously, the injuries from the trampling of an elephant. So then they took her to her funeral pry or py or whatever they call that, the P. Y-Y-R-E. Amorph a fallus. I don't think it's that. But they had her setting on her funeral pyre because, you know, it's what they do.

They put you up there and they burn your body. And according to the story, the elephant came back and trampled her again. Threw her around and then went off into the night. Now, whatever she did to piss this elephant off, we need to find that out so that it doesn't happen again. elephants coming back like that. I get it. An elephant never forgets. An elephant memory never forgets.

Got it. But if they're coming back after they attack you, after you've done something to tick them off, they come out of nowhere and they attack you, and then you end up dying, and then they come back to attack you again, something has to be done. I'll admit that.

Something has to be done. There was a story about a guy in the same area that got trampled by an elephant who again came out of nowhere this guy there's a video of it the guy is walking and the elephant is walking along and then seized the guy and says oh no no no no no i'm trampling you and chases him down the guy could have gotten away but he trips and falls and the elephant caught up to him and as it always happens the guy that trips and falls loses and trampled him now he lived at least according to this story he came back he's got you know severely injured but

but he is still alive. I would not go outside. If it's the same elephant, he's making sure people are dead, man. If you lived after he first trampled you, then he thinks you're still alive. And he's coming back for you. So we need to find that out.

We need to find out what is causing this from the elephants, man. It looks like it sounds like they're making sure if they don't kill you first, they will kill you. It's almost like a gang. You know, if you just got, if we didn't kill you, we will kill you. If you survived the first trampling, we're coming back. We're coming back after you. Okay.

So, don't tick off the elephants ban in Northeast India, man. Do not do it. It's all I'm saying. Just don't do it. Okay. All right. You know, we were speaking of Justin Bieber and his new syndrome, the Justin Bieber syndrome. I was looking through some stories about celebrities with exotic animals.

And just, you know, who knows, they all have monkeys and tigers and bears, oh my. And, you know, when we went to San Francisco a few years ago to do for the Blaze, and we had done interviews with Glenn, Pat, myself, and Stu, and we were all there for the Super Bowl weekend. We didn't, obviously, obviously, I wouldn't want to go to San Francisco on Super Bowl weekend and go to the Super Bowl. That would be dumb. So we flew in and out, and we were back home in time to watch the Super Bowl in my living room.

But while we were there in San Francisco, we stayed in a house that was formerly owned by Nicholas Cage. And it was beautiful San Francisco home. You know, it's on the hills. And it's three or four stories. I feel like it was maybe four stories. And you've got the garage and stuff. It was beautiful. It was redone.

And it needed to be redone some more. There needed to be some more work done. But it was a really beautiful place. And I stayed up on the top floor of this. house, I'll take the top floor. And I go up to the top and that was the bedroom and it was beautiful. And you walk in and it's got the windows and the ledges and it's beautiful. And the bathroom, it's just, but when you walk in, uh, to the right is this giant glass cage and I always thought it was a giant fish cage. You know, I thought, wow. I mean, that's a, that's a big, that's a big fish cage.

But okay, or tank, not a cage, a fish tank. And I thought, wow, that's a huge fish tank. But okay, cool. And he probably got some really cool fish in there at one time. It was completely empty. Well, as I'm reading this celebrity with their, you know, with their pets and their exotic animals, it talks about Nicholas Cage and his cobras. So that's what that tank was for, I think, was for Nicholas Cage and his cobras. Now, all the stories talk about how he ended up giving them to a zoo and how he ended up at one point having a two-headed snake that he ended up giving to a zoo too. and he said that the poisonous cobras would try to hypnotize him,

and then they'd show me their backs, and then they'd lunge at me. So, you know, his love for them were never, it was just one way, his love for them. They did not. They were not happy with him. And so that's what that was for. I guess it wasn't a giant fish cage.

It was just, it was a, it was a cobra cage. And it was incredible. And I was looking at all these stars that have the, you know, Tyson's got his tiger and Justin Bieber had his monkey, which he deserted, by the way, Bieber had his capuchin monkey and he got it that was given to him on his 19th birthday. And then he went on tour in Germany and Germany made him quarantine the monkey. So Justin was like, yeah, I'm out. Just leave him.

I don't care about him. If Germany's not going to, you know, going to quarantine him, I'm not going to come back. I got too many things to do. So then they just gave it to a zoo. Yeah, okay. Yeah, they gave it to the German zoo. More zoos in the news, by the way. And they said that it was extremely frightened, disoriented,

and struggled to integrate with its own kind. Yeah, he was pissed. It was like, where's my elephant buddy to trample Justin? Elty's Justin. That's why he's got the Justin Bieber syndrome now. This is the monkey. You left the monkey. Just forget it.

We don't need the monkey. And then Reese Witherspoon, there's a story about her and her pets and her play. and her plethora of animals. And it talks about her two donkeys, honky and tonky. And her two goats, Martha and George Washington. Now, it says that she has two pigs.

They don't give names for the pigs. I don't know if they're called bacon and sausage. She has a horse. I don't know if that one's called glue. She has 20 chickens. I don't know if they have names for the chickens or not. But when you have two donkeys named honky and tong. I mean, good times.

You know what? That means? That means you've got too much money. Too much money. I want enough money to be able to have, you know, honky and talky. Although I'd probably name them Jack and ass. But that would just be, you know, that's me. 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 handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest oh 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 uh oh trouble in paradise well i don't think it was really paradise that's why she quit uh Cheryl Sandberg, former C-O-O of Facebook,

meta is investigating her. According to the report, these allegations that Sandberg, who served as CEO for 14 years before resigning on June 1st, we talked about her resignation, she used company resources for personal gain. No, get out of here. Stop it.

Are you kidding me? Apparently, this review has been underway since last fall, and they're looking into behavior going back several years. So maybe I mean, that's why she resigned, right? Look, I'm out of here. You're investigating all this stuff. I'm done. Have a nice day.

I've got to, I'm going to, at her, in her post was, I'm focusing more on my foundation and philanthropic work, which is more important to me than ever, given how critical this moment is for women. And you know what? I'm going to remain on the board of directors. Are you, Cheryl? Aria. So apparently, she used Facebook resources to support her Lean In Foundation, assist with marketing for her second book, and plan her upcoming wedding.

I mean, really. So of course, she's the C.O. Of course she's going to be doing that. But apparently they find that that's bad. And you're not supposed to be doing that. Now, her team has responded. So you have a spokesperson, responded. that said, hey, she did not inappropriately use company resources in connection with the planning of her wedding, okay? So back off. What about the other allegations? Yeah, I don't have a comment on those. Just know that she doesn't have anything to do with the wedding. Oh, okay. Well, then, no problem.

We're good to go. A couple sports update. The NHL, Stanley Cup finals, are going to be the, Tampa Bay Lightning and the Colorado Avalanche. And that game starts on Wednesday, which is the 15th of June. If you're listening today, it is the 13th of June, 22, here on Chewing the Fat. So GoBoltz, hashtag go-Boltz. Got to be, man, Tampa Bay.

It's so much fun. Going to those Stanley Cup games are just so much fun. If you have a chance and you're able to go to either the Avalanche game or the Lightning in Tampa Bay, go well worth the fun. And we have tied up in the NBA finals, two to two, Golden State and Boston. You know, I'm rooting for Boston just because of Steve Kerr, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

But Golden State is looking like they are not going to lose. Steph Curry is going to go down as probably one of the best players in NBA history. So it's going to be difficult for Boston to beat the Golden State Warriors. There's no doubt about that. And what else is going on? Who knows? Oh, I should probably just tell you. This is just an update, a warning.

Okay, a warning. Don't pick up any money that's folded. Okay? I know. Tennessee Sheriff has warned people. Don't pick up any folded money. Wait, what? Yeah, it's a public safety warning.

Folded dollar bills. He said on a, social media. The Giles County, I guess it's Giles County, G-I-L-E-S. Amorph a phallis. No, it's not that. The county sheriff's department said on a social media account

that his office has investigated two recent incidents where a folded dollar bill was found on the floor at a gas station. When it was found and picked up, the person discovered a white powdery substance inside. The substance was later tested and was positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl. And they're saying, you know, even that very small amount of fentanyl

smaller than the size of a penny is enough to kill anyone. Okay. And the sheriff said, you know, he showed a photo of a penny with a lethal amount of fentany next to it. And he was warning everyone

that do not pick up any folded money they may find in or around businesses, playgrounds, etc., without using great caution and even a little bit of, alerting a parent or guardian. So just remember, according to this, fentanyl is roughly 50 times more potent than heroin

and 100 times more potent than morphine. Overdose victims are often unaware that the drugs they ingested were laced with fentanyl. So that's just a warning from Giles County Sheriff's Department. Do not pick up folded dollar bills. I, on the other hand, may be on the lookout for folded dollar bills, but I'm not in Tennessee, so I doubt I will find any.
