Starting point is 00:00:35 So on June 29th, 2022, did you say to yourself, wow, that day went by fast? You were right. It was really one of the shortest days since the planet's rotation began being measured with the atomic clocks in the 1960s. it completed one spin, the earth being it, in 1.59 milliseconds shy of the typical 24 hours, just on June 29th, though. So if you felt that that day went by faster, you were right.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Now, the Earth has been consistently shorter in the past few years. Earth's spin has actually been slowing down over time, causing the days to get longer rather than shorter. Back, I don't know, a billion years ago or so, a single day would pass in less than 19 hours. The United Nations International Telecommunication Union, and who doesn't love the United Nations International Telecommunications Union, they will occasionally add seconds to the world clock in June or December
Starting point is 00:01:53 to make up for the longer days. and they did it back in 2016. I remember talking about that as a matter of fact. And they claim that it's probably unlikely that they're going to be doing it this December. But they also claim that the trend of shorter days could be explained by a phenomenon known as the Chandler Wobble. I mean, I don't mean to talk down to you,
Starting point is 00:02:20 but who doesn't know about the Chandler Wobble? at the annual meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society next week. I'm a little bummed. I didn't get my invitation to the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society meeting, and now I've got something else planned, but that is happening next week. Leonad, I guess it's Leonid, Leonid Zuttov, L-E-O-N-I-D-Zotov, professor of mathematics,
Starting point is 00:02:52 thought it was going to play a morpho phallis there didn't you? He claimed that the Chandler Wobble was first spotted in the late 1880s when astronomer Seth Carlo Chandler noticed the poles wobbled over a 14-month period. Okay, so the normal amplitude of the Chandler Wobble, and I'm explaining this to you for those of you that don't know, the normal amplitude of the Chandler Wobble is about 3 to 4 meters at Earth's surface, but from 2017 to 2020, it disappeared. So natural disasters and weather effects such as El Nino can also influence the speed of the earth's spin.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Okay. So they claim that the earthquake in the Indian Ocean in 2004 shortened the length of the day by nearly three microseconds. So if you felt like back in 2004, the day that was, one day when the Indian Ocean earthquake happened, went by a lot faster? You were right. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. You like me can't get enough of Oatley Oat Milk. This is going to be a depressing story because 53 specialty drinks are being recalled from Oatley Oat Milk products because of Pottley. possible bacterial contamination. I know. The FDA said that Oatley's oat milk barista
Starting point is 00:04:31 additions sold the food services groups and a variety of iced coffees, protein drinks, and other flavored non-dairy beverages are affected. Very sad. The brands listed in the recall include Aloha, Glucerna, Imperial, Intelligentsia, Kate Farms, Lyons, Barista style, Lions ready care, MRE, ooh, MRE, I like those, perk and premier protein. I actually do like the MREs. The products are produced by the California-based Lions Magnus. To date, no illnesses or complaints related to the products have been reported. It's advised that the recalled products should be, should not be consumed and just thrown away
Starting point is 00:05:18 and then ask for your money back. I'd probably have some of those MREs in the store. man, I'm a little, I am a little bum now. So, darn it. If you like me are an oatly oat milk product consumer. This is a bummer story. The products are being recalled because of a possible
Starting point is 00:05:35 bacterial contamination. So let's just be sad together. And as long as we're talking about stuff that makes you sick while you're drinking it, or possibly making you sick while drinking it, I know that everyone on TikTok has been, I say everyone, one of the trending topics on TikTok is the pink sauce drink.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And they have, you know, they've been accused of ripping off other condiments, lying about us nutritional information. So I don't know why everybody's all wound up and drinking this pink sauce, but there's been people accused of poisoning the nation. The viral pink sauce comes with one. lengthy terms and conditions.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And they use one of my lines in the main story of let me eat the TikTok pink sauce. So I don't know. No, I don't want to have the TikTok pink sauce. And I, you know, I mean, I'm not against peptobysmal, you know, from time to time, if needed. But I don't think this pink sauce is the old peptobismo. So I would, you know, tread lightly if you're thinking. about, you know, it's trending on TikTok, I ought to drink me some pink sauce. Think twice about that.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Yesterday, we talked about how unacceptable it would be if Hershey could not meet the demand for Halloween and Christmas candy, and we talked about which candies should be cut and others should continue, because those are the ones that people buy. And now, today we have a great gig for someone, and it's actually I was thinking about maybe applying myself a Canadian candy company is offering uh well he's offering a really good gig it is a chief candy officer work from home job 78,000 dollars a year which is according to this 100 grand Canadian I don't know if you have to live in Canada though they probably want you to the candy fun house the online retailer of you know confection
Starting point is 00:07:49 treats from chocolate bars to gummies and licorice are offering the job duties include leading candy board meetings and being the head taste tester and all things fun so you're the c-co the chief candy officer and you're leading candy board meetings okay no problem several thousand candidates have already applied for the position uh was posted in July last month, for those of you listening live today, it's October 2nd, 2022. He was surprised, according to the head guy from Candy Funhouse. He was surprised at the number of applications, and there were a golden ticket-themed applications and elaborate videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and
Starting point is 00:08:45 salaries. No, the job is yours or mine. And you do it. No one else. You could maybe toss a gummy off to the side for the kids, but other that, no, it's your job. So the Candy Fun House is based outside of Toronto.
Starting point is 00:09:04 And so you probably, although it's an at-home job, they probably want a Canadian, although it doesn't say. So kind of good. Sales apparently have been really good, boosted substantially, of course, due to the pandemic. And so this is ready to go.
Starting point is 00:09:25 The chief candy officer position is open to applicants as young as five years old. All right. Although parental permission would likely be required. And the company has three hundred and forty, they're big time social media. $3,000 on Instagram, $3 million on TikTok. So they're ready for some social media push, which the chief candy officer could help facilitate. So that's huge. Right now the company is prepping for Halloween.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah. Just like Hersey should be. Okay? That's what needs to happen. So the chief candy officer will be required to eat 3,500 pieces of candy per month. Oh, wait. That's incorrect. They say they claim that you don't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:10:12 that number represents the different varieties, the company stocks. That would be 117 a day. That's too many. Bummer, because someone could pull off 117 a day. I mean, I can do that. Standing on one hand, no problem. So it's a good gig if you want to do it. Just look for it.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I'll post the link. I'll post the link. I'll tweet it out this afternoon, if you know, for a good job. work from home job chief candy officer for Candy Funhouse looks like $78,000 a year here in the U.S. And you get to eat candy.
Starting point is 00:10:50 You got to run a couple of board meetings and you've got to be, you know, probably social media savvy since they are in particular big followers on TikTok and Instagram, which I'm in. I am in. Hire me Candy Funhouse.
Starting point is 00:11:08 All right, let's go to the break room. I need some candy. and the, no, something called to drink, desperately. So did you see where Disneyland cut out Walt Disney's opening day speech from their anniversary celebration? You know, Disney has made quite a move to distance themselves from the founder.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That is for sure. And I know it's a new world and a new generation and we're supposed to not be pro-America, and we're not supposed to be an inspiration to all the world. But when you start taking away what your main cornerstone is, times are definitely, definitely, wrong, different. Damn near unacceptable. So the quote that was removed was Walt saying that, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:12 all to, well, you know what, here it is. Here's Walt. uh his little opening day speech of dizzneland in 1955 yay walt disney yay to all who come to this happy place welcome dizzleland is your land thank you here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals the dreams and the hard facts that have created America with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world thank you thank
Starting point is 00:12:53 you appreciate it yay thank you uh yeah with the hope and inspiration that uh bring joy to all the world uh yeah they still want to bring joy to the world just not inspiration and all the ideals and dreams that have created america pretty sad but you know That is where we're at today, especially when we have, I mean, my gosh, we have a big story today about 594 male showrunners sign a letter supporting demands for abortion safety protocols. So 400 more than 400 TV creators and showrunners. All of them women sent letters to top executives at the Hollywood studios demanding that, specific safety protocols be put in place for pregnant employees in states where abortion has been outlawed. We want to be able to, you know, kill our children. And so the letters now have support of
Starting point is 00:14:03 594 men, including J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peel, Greg Berlante, Donald Glover, Aaron Sorkan, David E. Kelly, Dachawati, I think that's her name, right? Ryan Murphy have been sent to the same companies. That's great. That's great. That's great. That we stand with our female trans and non-binary showrunner colleagues in demanding a response from our employees regarding the eminent crisis
Starting point is 00:14:29 at hand. It's an eminent crisis. Okay. I was sent to Disney, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Discovery, Paramount, Apple, NBC, Universal, Amazon, Lionsgate, and AMC.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Oh, that's great. We want to be able to kill our kids. And we want you to make sure that it's okay. All right. Great. But that's where we're at. That's what I mean. That is exactly where we're at.
Starting point is 00:15:01 You know, we're not far from just having, I saw a story. Oh, shoot. Where was it? It was a little while ago. And what they wanted to do was have floating abortion ships. Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't that be great? We could just do that.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I mean, we're talking about doing it at the VA centers. They're already working on making that happen. Guarantee you that. I mean, they've already talked about that. They've been interviewed about it. And they've given no specific details. But you know that they are getting ready to say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:15:41 Just come to the VA if you want to have an abortion. It's fine. It's all part of women's health care. Oh, okay. So now we have one, yeah, the one woman, Dr. Meg Autry, announced her new idea of a floating abortion clinic. Dr. Autry, an obstetrician, gynecologist, a professor at the University of California and San Francisco, said surgical abortions and other reproductive health services. Reproductive health services. Give me a break.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Aboard a ship in federal. waters off the Gulf Coast outside of the jurisdiction of states that limit abortions. Would that be great? Just get on a baby killing ship and head out to federal waters or universal waters, I'm sorry, international waters, and go ahead and kill your kid. I mean, of course, have other, you know, reproductive health services. You know, I thought, I thought Planned Parenthood was, barely about abortions.
Starting point is 00:16:51 And yet, when abortions get the axe, they're closing shop. So who was telling the truth on that? I wonder. I wonder. Anyway, that's where we're at in America these days. So it's no wonder that Disney is pulling a pro-America or perceived pro-America opening from their founder, Walt Disney. Amazing. And another thing that makes you think this is the America that we're living in now.
Starting point is 00:17:22 We have cashiers at Walgreens refusing to sell condoms because of his faith. Wait, what? Yeah, a cashier refused to sell condoms to a couple on religious grounds. And according to Walgreens, the employee did not violate company policy. Oh, okay. So, I mean, this all started when, uh, We gave the pharmacists the go-ahead to question what the doctor... No, I can't write you that prescription.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Sorry, the doctor is wrong. How about you check with my doctor then? No, I'm just not going to do that. I'm just not going to sell you stuff. Oh, okay. That's different, Jeff. This person has a religious belief and doesn't want to sell the condoms. And Walgreens said it was okay.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Oh, okay. I guess the incident comes at a time when Walgreens has responded to a number of complaints. from employees, about employees refusing birth control sales in the wake of the, you know, overturning of Roe v. Wade. All right. No problem. I can't sell you the condoms because it goes against my faith. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:36 So apparently the person at the Walgreens counter said that they were embarrassed by being turned down in front of other customers for the condom purchase. I don't know about that. Does anybody make a big deal about condom purchases anymore in today's world? I mean, that's good, right? Don't put your pox goo on me. I don't want any other goo either. So if you're going to be out there and if you're going to be out there taking care of
Starting point is 00:19:08 business or you don't want to get pregnant with your husband or wife, I can see the use of condoms or other. birth control items. You know, that's, we're, we're long past, uh, the, uh, the objections, but, okay, so if you have the objections. Now, Walgreens claims that if that happens, if, uh, you refill, you get refused, they're supposed to get someone else who will sell you the product, which only makes sense. So you can still get a gig at a place of business and decide that a product that that company
Starting point is 00:19:45 sells, you don't have to sell it for that company that you work for because of your religious beliefs. Okay, I know, you know, that's, I get it, but maybe you shouldn't work for a place that you disagree with the products that they sell. But they still, they still let you work there. They still say, okay, no problem. Just find someone else to sell the product. And according to this story, it was a difficult process for them to find someone who would sell it. And they had, the one story in the Walgreens talks about how they wouldn't refill the prescription. Uh, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah. Uh, you're not going to refill my birth control? No. So you need to call my provider. You need to find out. No. There was just a four-a-day delay because the person didn't want to sell or refill the birth control product. Why should it take that long?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Everyone working behind the counter now has the religious issue of selling birth control at their particular Walgreens. Perhaps they need to hire someone who doesn't have that problem. I just, I know, I don't look at me like that. I get it. I get it. If you don't want to sell something, you shouldn't have to sell it. That's my right. I know. I know. It's also my right to not shop at that store anymore. All right, I'm done. I'm done. I'm sorry. I was just really ticked at that.
Starting point is 00:21:33 The Disney thing and then this abortion thing. I know I don't normally get into it on this show. And I appreciate you listening to Chewing the Fat. I do. And it means a lot to me. but I don't understand the abortion thing at all, never have. You've got kids, no wonder, yeah, I do. And they were children to me before they were outside of the womb. I saw, you know, just had pictures of them, and it's just you, they're your children, no matter what, and they're another human being inside the mother.
Starting point is 00:22:06 And I, you can't change that. Sorry, you just can't. Oh, they're not people up until six weeks, Jeff. Okay, they've got time before they're actual people. You know, if you believe that, good for you. Well, I don't. I do not believe that. I got it.
Starting point is 00:22:26 We don't count them as people until, you know, after a certain day. The day before they're not a person. The day after they are now a person. Oh, okay. All right. Good for you. You know, good for you. You want to kill that person in my eyes.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm done. I'm done, okay? All right, good. There's other stuff to get to. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What?

Starting point is 00:23:55 So an unidentified 23-year-old woman is now in a psychiatric ward. After climbing through Daniel Seve's window and sleeping in his bed, the why don't we band member was startled when his surveillance camera alerted his phone to the fact that an unknown woman appeared to be rummaging through the kitchen cabinets. He later learned she was apparently helping herself to food after spending the night in his bed. bed. Oh, okay. Yeah. Surveillance really shows the woman arriving to CV's door holding a bouquet of flowers
Starting point is 00:24:33 after apparently realizing the musician wasn't home. The woman proceeded to climb through a window and seemed to make herself comfortable in his residence. They caught her rummaging through the closet. She put on the free Hoover hoodie that CV had obtained from Drake and Kanye's concert and it's yay. Even though that concert was Drake and Kanye,
Starting point is 00:24:55 concert in December. It's now yay. According to TMZ, the women then reportedly crawled into bed and slept. Oh, okay. Then he's going through the kitchen cabinets and we're just going through the house
Starting point is 00:25:11 checking everything out, making herself right at home. And so LAPD showed up and took the woman into custody. It's believed that the woman told police that the tattoo on CV's arm, which depicts a person climbing into a window and admitted she felt inspired to duplicate the artwork. She believes she and Stevie were meant to be together.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Oh, that's so special. We were meant to be together. So I'm going to break into your home and hang out and wear your clothes, each of food and just be with you even though you are not there. Well, you know, a lot of singers in the news today. Heck, Beyonce is changing the lyrics of her song because of the word spaz. That makes me laugh, okay? The word spas is a slur against people with disabilities.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Oh my gosh. because the word originates from spastic give me a break and I know that we went after Lizzo a little while ago for the same thing she used it in her girl's song and I believe she changed it
Starting point is 00:26:51 so I mean they all changed it so someone who is spastic is born with a disability which makes it difficult for them to control their muscles especially in their arms and legs Most people now refer to someone with this disability as having cerebral palsy. Yeah, because spas doesn't mean that, okay?
Starting point is 00:27:13 It's just, we are, wow, this is incredible. But Beyonce is bending the knee. She would be one, maybe not Lizzo, but Beyonce, the queen, could be the one that would not bend the knee and say, no, that's not what I meant. listen to the song I'm not saying I don't have anything to do with any of your terrible palsy people so back
Starting point is 00:27:40 off me okay I got it that they you know they have impaired movement and exaggerated reflexes and floppiness but when I say somebody is a spaz that's not what I mean
Starting point is 00:27:55 okay but she doesn't she bent the knee and then we have singer a Neal's wife saying, yeah, we're not together and he's a cheating son of a, and that's it. Eight years of lies and deception.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Eight years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected. Every last one of them. To say I'm heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely
Starting point is 00:28:26 insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn't. I choose me. I choose my happiness and health and my respect. I gain three beautiful children out of this, but nothing else but wasted years and heartache. I ask that you all please stop sending me videos or information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim. I am choosing to stand tall with my head held high. If someone can't you the way you deserve then it's up to you to love yourself with no hate in my heart i wish him nothing
Starting point is 00:29:07 but the best whof okay so there you go neo uh go have fun with your your cheating ways and then we had uh who died today who died today mo oston you say who say who you say who Yeah, Mo Austin, 95. A legendary Warner Brothers Records Chief dies at 95. I mean, he led the careers of Jody Mitchell, the kinks, Jimmy Hendricks, and a whole bunch more for
Starting point is 00:29:43 a long time. I mean, he's a Warner Brothers king pin for a long time. So he died at the age of 95. You know, I just, I mean, he signed the kinks of Fleet with Mac, Johnny Mitchell, Jimmy Hendricks, R.E.M. Randy Newman. Just to name a few.
Starting point is 00:29:59 you wow so uh i just was watching the thing on johnny mitchell too she is uh johnny's getting up there these days and they all are really and let's be honest uh so are you so am i back off me but uh i saw her singing at uh the some festival gosh darn it what festival was it and uh while it was you know kind of good it was also kind of bad and kind of sad at the same time and it's just I don't know I can barely take Joni anyway I was forced to like her for a lot of time a lot of years there was a couple people that I used to that I was with that loved Joni Mitchell so I was forced to like her and so I can appreciate her work but that's about
Starting point is 00:30:59 where we're at. Anyway, Moe Osten. Dead at the age of 95. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So I know they claim now that the quickest way to be rich is to grow up with rich people. Huh. I mean,
Starting point is 00:31:50 one key to earning a higher income, rich friends in childhood. Really? Okay. All right. The difference between kids who grew up with risk friends and those who lack such ties
Starting point is 00:32:01 is striking, according to this new research from Harvard, Stanford, and New York University at the Santa Fe Institute in collaboration with META, and Opportunity Insights. Man, that is some good research happening there.
Starting point is 00:32:19 And it was published in the Science Magazine Nature on Monday. So they had researchers at Harvard, Stanford, New York University, and the Santa Fe Institute in collaboration with meta and opportunity insights. And then they published it in the Science Magazine Nature. Wow, that is awesome. So they find that one of the keys to earning a higher income, rich friends in childhood. I don't know if this particular person had a rich friend in childhood,
Starting point is 00:32:56 Rebecca Blue, but she has now become a millionaire. And she is selling toenails, dead skin from her feet, dandruff. and she's making a fortune. She's made a million dollars. She's a former exotic dancer. And she says, hey, I'm making a fortune. I sell my dead skin from my feet, dantrum, toe nails. And she's rags to riches story.

The professional goddess, self-proclaimed, rakes in five to ten thousand dollars a month by hawking an array of well stuff, tissues, panty liners. One of the videos, uh, one of the videos, uh, the 2.5 million views She described how she started selling Q-tips, you know, used Q-tips for five bucks a pop. Old socks, vacuum dust, toothbrushes, floss. Holy cow. I, you know, I'm a fan.

So Saturday, this coming Saturday, the 6th of August, 2022, is National Root Beer Float Day. I'm a fan. Then there's a ANW has got a deal for National Root Beer Float Day. I guess if you buy a mug, then they're going to give you a free root beer float. And I don't know if it's just on that Saturday.
Starting point is 00:36:36 I would check with your local. A and W but, you know, it's for their new campaign which aims to, you know, they want National Root Beer Float Day and raise money for disabled American veterans. So that's awesome. And now I used to go to ANW all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:53 I've told the story about when I was in, when I was in elementary school, there was an A&W between my elementary school and the middle school that, you know, in my town. And when I was in sixth grade, that was the end of elementary school. And so, you know, I would go to the ANW and I would get a free basket burg. That's what they called it a basketberg.
Starting point is 00:37:17 You got a little basket with a burger and fries. And, you know, you paid for the root beer separate, right? You drink separate. But they give you the first kid from the middle school that would show up for lunch got the free basket burger. And so I walked in as a sixth grader, not knowing. that and got the free basket burger and I was like hey cool how did I how did I do that oh first kid from the junior high school gets it every day and I realized that my school let out like five to ten minutes earlier than the middle school so if I hustled and as a you know an athletically
Starting point is 00:37:55 overweight kid I if I hustled to the ANW I could be the first one there because they thought I was coming from the middle school giddy up giddy up that was that was It was a good time in my life when I found that out. Too bad it was late in the school year. I wish I had known earlier in the year. Anyway, A&W has got a new celebrity doing ads for them. And it was pretty funny. I would actually, it would have been a funny bit for us to do here at the Blaze.
Starting point is 00:38:27 So it's a good funny bit, but they've got a new celebrity doing ads for A&W restaurants. And it's Ryan Reynolds. How do you want my hands? Ryan Reynolds, actor, producer, creative director. Jen Slinger, soccer team over. Mobile Network mogul. Mobile Network mogul is killing me. Cell phone company tycoon and 2010 People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Whatever. Save some headlines for the rest of us, Deadpool. And Wilder. Hey, hair tips. hair tips even a thing. Hey here, Jill. How about you save some headlines for the rest of us? Like me, the new Ryan Reynolds.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I'm advertising's fresh-faced golden boy. I'll say anything you want for a fraction of the price of the old Ryan Reynolds. For example, I'll say the National Root Beer Float Day is almost here. Yeah. And this year, A&W is taking the money that they saved by hiring me instead of the other guy and giving everyone who signs up for their mug club a free root beer float. No purchase necessary. Just a suggestion donation to our friends at DAV.
Starting point is 00:39:48 See, it's cheap, easy, effective marketing. All at the minimum. Nice. So I just have to join the mug club and I got a free root beer float at A&W on root beer float day, which is Saturday. I mean, of course, you've got to donate to, you know, disabled vats. but all right fine you don't have to they're asking for you to donate to disabled american veterans i mean you could just get your free root beer float and walk away feel bad about it but you could do it
Starting point is 00:40:24 i like the idea of the guy being ryan reynolds though and uh really funny about uh i mean ryan would appreciate the humor there of uh whatever saves some of the headlines with the rest of of us, Deadpool. Really funny. And makes me want to have an W. Rubeer flow. And just so we're clear, it's not the actual Ryan Reynolds
Starting point is 00:40:54 superstar. It is Ryan Reynolds from somewhere in Middle America, who looks, you know, I don't know, like me. And I got an email from Grampy in Alabama, you can email me Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com anytime.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Grampy says that Chewing the Fat is one of my top two favorite podcasts. I mean, okay, what do I got to do to make it number one? Okay. I mean, they claim that this other podcast is also like number one. Or, you know, we're battling it out for the top. one is, I don't know, the daily mojo. That's what it's called. I don't even know who does that stupid show.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I think it's some guy named Brad, but I'm not sure. I think it is. I could be wrong. I don't know. And of course, Grampy says he knows the rules that he's listening to Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, rated 20 stars, best podcast ever. So thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I appreciate it very much. I know, you know, listen, Brad, and Ron do their thing over there at the Daily Mojo. I mean, whatever, it's fine. You can listen to them as well. If you're following the rules, though, thank you. That's part of the deal. But he wanted to, in this email,
Starting point is 00:42:20 he says, I think you might be needing a new catchphrase. And that is a fat fact, which I have used before. I've used a fat fact before. I believe I've used it during Pat Show. When I've talked about things that have happened on chewing the fat, I believe I've called it a fat fact. And I, you know, you're right. I should use it more.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Absolutely. No problem. And then Grampy leaves us with a joke at the end of his email. Now, this is Grampy's joke, not mine. Okay, just to be clear about that, it's Grampy's joke, not mine. Helen Keller was immune to flashbang grenades. Again, Grampy's joke, not mine. Helen Keller was immune to flashbang grenades.
