Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher Okay, I just have a, like one question about a story. One question, that's it.
Starting point is 00:00:40 The story is a 20-year-old man was stung by African killer bees. He swallowed 30 of them. They, he sliced open a hive while trimming a lemon tree. All right, he was put into a medical coma, induced coma. He has since
Starting point is 00:01:01 woken up, and he remains on a ventilator after suffering the stings. His family watched the episode unfold on the ground, couldn't come to his rescue, because they would also come under attack. I mean, we've heard of this happening before. We've talked of it happening before. It's horrible, horrible.
Starting point is 00:01:18 So he was slicing down a lemon tree, trimming it up, sliced into the hive, and they were a little unhappy. A tad. They were a tad. unhappy these bees that he cut into their hive and you know who can blame him somebody starts cutting into your home you're going to be angry as well so the firefighters came and they finally rescued him and he was stung and he looked like he had a blanket around his head there were so many
Starting point is 00:01:47 bees around him and they claim now and he's awake and he should be fine i mean he's going to have a full recovery recovery fortunately they have a go fund me set up for him You know, I'm sure that he needs the money for recovery. It's not cheap to be in a hospital forever and have the care that you're getting, that he's getting. But the question I have is that they claim that he was stung 20,000 times. 20,000 times. Now, we know he swallowed 30 of them.
Starting point is 00:02:26 I can understand how you count those. all right that was uh they were down there the doctor said hey they were in there they used a suction cup it took him a couple of days to get him out and figure out where they all were you know during all this time but they claim that he was stung 20,000 times i just i want to know who counted him i want to know how we know that it was 20,000 stings i was terrible i mean the guy is lucky to be alive, no question. And I don't wish this on anyone. Well, most people.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I don't wish this on most people. However, I just, all I want to know is how we got to the 20,000 times. That's all I want. I just want to know. Just answer my question. That's it. I want to know who counted them. I want to know if it was a guess.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I want to know if maybe they counted, you know, a one by one inch square. on his body and then just multiplied that out for the size of him, whatever the case. I just want to know how it was done because 20,000 stings is what they're saying. I just feel like if you were actually stung 20,000 times, you would not be alive. But he obviously is, so I guess I'm wrong. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Starting point is 00:03:57 So even if you've been stung 20,000 times or 10,000 times, you still have an opportunity to live like our man in Cincinnati has. However, we know now that life expectancy has dropped for the second consecutive year. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the fall is the largest two-year drop in nearly 100 years. brings the United States life expectancy to 76.1 years. That's down from 77.3 in 2020. Oh, okay. Deaths from COVID-19, 50%, and drug overdoses on intentional injuries were 15.9%,
Starting point is 00:04:49 which primarily contributed to the decrease. American Indian and Alaskan native people saw the largest drop with a decrease of 1.9 years, years to 65.2 and a 6.5 year drop in 2020. White Americans, I hate those white Americans, saw the second highest decline with a decrease of one year to 76.4, followed by black Americans, 0.7 years to 70.8. And Hispanic Americans, 0.2 years to 77.7 years. Asian Americans saw the lowest decline, with only 0.1 year decrease to, 83.5. Now, I feel like we talked about Hawaii having the highest life expectancy at one point.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Anyway, 80.7 years of age, while Mississippi had the lowest 71.9 years of age. I mean, look, I think we've, it's been going up and up and up forever. We have more oxygenarians than ever, or at least, you know, what I think more than ever. And so remember, I mean, I feel like 75 is the new 50. It just seems that way. But if we're going to start dropping and that's probably, you know, heck, I mean, the economy is starting to hurt a little bit and, you know, people are having a problem with the medications and seeing doctors and it's just kind of, you're getting stung thousands of times. So perhaps you're you know age is going to drop a little bit i mean i remember seeing pictures when i was you know a little kid and you know your grandparents
Starting point is 00:06:40 looked so old and they were like 50 i and it's just amazing that uh you know how far we've come so hopefully that's just not a sign a bad sign i don't want it to be a bad sign i want it just to be a bad sign i want it just to be a kind of, you know, an outlier. COVID brought it on. We're going to pick it back up. That's what I want. You know what?
Starting point is 00:07:04 That's what I'm going to believe. And you can't stop me. So we've got another recall. I know. It's like a recall world. And it's, you know, we talk about food shortages. Hello, life expectancy. So we had the frozen pizzas yesterday and we've talked about other recalls that have happened
Starting point is 00:07:21 with our food supply. Well, animal crackers. No, not those animal crackers. The Greenwise Organic Animal Crackers sold at Publix stores across the southeast. I'm a huge fan of Publix. I went there a lot, although I worked for their competitor, Win Dixie, for many years. The Tufayan Bakery, the maker of Publix's Greenwise Organic Animal Crackers, announced a voluntary recall of a batch of the cookies due to an undeclared tree nut allergen.
Starting point is 00:07:57 and you can't have that. You cannot have that. So the product was distributed to public supermarkets in seven states, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. So if you have the Greenwise Organic Animal Crackers with an expiration date of February 5th, 2023, and, you know, they give you a listing of the UPC code,
Starting point is 00:08:23 0-414-15-1-2-099. That can be found on the back of the patch. It comes in 8-ounce packages. It may contain coconut. So if you are going to end up having convulsions because of coconut, you don't want these around. All right, they'll be eating them. So return the product for a full refund or throw it away.
Starting point is 00:08:51 but I would say you know if you're buying organic animal crackers is coconut really your issue I feel like it's not but again I know it's just me I don't know if it's going to extend your life or not but 16% of Americans
Starting point is 00:09:12 say they currently smoke marijuana with 48% of the respondents saying that they have tried it at some point in their life the highest rate ever recorded by Gallup. Last year was only 12% said they had used marijuana. So a majority of people say they smoke marijuana more than cigarettes based on a data from a new Gallup poll. Wow. Gallup poll finds that marijuana use was higher among adults between 18 and 34, with 30% responding
Starting point is 00:09:45 that they smoke pot and 22% consume marijuana edibles. These numbers are significantly lower in both categories for adults 35 to 54 and 16% of Americans 55 and older, or 35 to 54 is 16% and it's only 7% with Americans 55 and older. Wow. So a record low of 11% of adults reported smoking cigarettes. I mean, smoking, they've made such a, you're such a pariah smoking now. And then, and it's, you know, okay, can we admit that it's bad for you? Bad for you? your body? Sure. Let's go ahead and admit that. Most things are. Right. Everything in moderation. Don't you know that? Stop it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 So approximately three in ten non-smokers stating they used to smoke a big drop in cigarette use compared to 45% in the 1950s. Yeah, I mean, they've made it so bad. And they've made it so you can't do it anywhere. Duh. So this phone interview poll was with 1,013 people, 18 or older, in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. When asked what the effect they thought marijuana had on society, 49% of the respondents said it was positive. 50% said cannabis has negatively impacted society.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Wow. 68% of adults think marijuana should be legal. Most adults who have ever tried marijuana believe its effects on users and society as a whole are positive. 72% of the people who have never tried marijuana think it's bad for society. So right now, recreational marijuana is legal in 19 states, Washington, D.C. and Guam. While 37 states allow some form of medical marijuana,
Starting point is 00:11:46 six states could vote on the ballot measures legalize. marijuana this coming November and those you know and probably will pass so they'll join the other 19 states so just incredible you know marijuana I have no idea it certainly should not be this horrific crime that we made it into at one point here in this country and so if you're incarcerated on marijuana charges and I don't know what the number is so just I'm just talking off the top of my head now to you. I don't know what the number is as far as, you know, selling it and all that kind of stuff. But if you're incarcerated over marijuana charges, that should not happen. If it's strictly just marijuana charges that, I mean, we need to, we need to let these people go. Let my people go.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Are you speaking? Are you pot now? Yes, that's what I am. It's been a long time for me, personally, been a long time since I have used marijuana. But, I'm not opposed to it. And I should actually change that. It's been a long time since I've smoked marijuana because I have had some edibles. Somebody gave me some edibles. Where did I get those edibles?
Starting point is 00:13:03 Anyway, and, you know, I was, I would, I think I would rather smoke it if I was going to use it again because I had, I loved it. I know. I know. I'm not recommending it. I'm just saying that at the time in my life, when marijuana was a big part of it, I, you know, okay, okay, fine. Let's fire it up. What do you say we go over to the break room? I've got the Monty's for some reason. I don't know if they were high or not, but congratulations to Imogen Young and Lloyd Clarkson both took home the titles for women's and men's title in the World Gravy Wrestling Championships.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yes, I know, I know what you're thinking. Wait, I thought those were canceled. Yeah, that was only due to COVID. Okay, 2020 and 2021. It's back this year, baby. The 12th annual, or it was back, the 12th annual World Gravy Wrestling Championships, which took place earlier this week. And, you know, you fight in a pool of gravy with two-minute bouts. I know. It sounds, you know, I don't know. Fun. It sees competitors wrestle in a pool of gravy for two minutes, with points being scored for fancy dress, entertainment value, and wrestling ability.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yay. So again, congratulations to Imogen Young, who won the woman. title and Lloyd Clarkson who took the men's title. It took place at the Rosen Bowl Pub in Rosendale Lenscher and the pub restaurant manager Carol Lowe said it was amazing to be back, I bet. Basically, she said, I'm sorry, Ms. Lowe said that people come in fancy dress, men and ladies and then they wrestle in gravy and get eliminated as the day goes on. It's very messy. That seems to be that it would be fun.
Starting point is 00:15:56 It would be fun. But then again, maybe not. I mean, it would be fun to watch. I don't know that it would be fun to wrestle in gravy all day as you keep having two minute bouts to win. Plus, you're in gravy. Some of the pictures they're wrestling in this. Well, it looks like nastiness, but it's not. It's gravy.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And who doesn't love gravy? Yesterday, we talked about crashes that are spilling food all over the road. You know, we had the Elfrido sauce all over the highway in Memphis. I think we had the tomatoes all over the highway in California. And now we have gummy bears all over the highway in Arkansas. I know. Gummies all over the road. I don't know how many gummies actually made it to the road
Starting point is 00:16:44 because the picture shows them picking up the boxes of candy off the road so you know traffic is obviously backed up and it closed up the interstate a couple of lanes of the interstate and they had gummy bears all over the place but it sent the story is it sent boxes of gummy bears spilling onto the interstate
Starting point is 00:17:03 not the actual gummy bears people weren't driving over the gummy bears so I mean and that's kind of good, right? And I guess we still can sell them. Look for marked down gummy bears at a local store in Arkansas because I'm sure they're these gummy bears were involved in an accident.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Do you still want them? Yes, I do. I'll take my chances with the gummy bears that spilled out of the semi-trailer and onto the highway that you picked up and are now reselling to me. Okay? All right. Thank you. Speaking of buying damaged goods, I see where the global dream 2, the world's biggest cruise ship, or it certainly was supposed to be, is set to be sold for scrap metal. Things are going great. Things are going great for the cruise companies. This company went bankrupt. The $1.6 billion vessel built with 20 decks and a one. water park, yeah, we're just going to go ahead and scrap it.
Starting point is 00:18:15 We need the money. We went bankrupt. We know what we're doing. We're just going to go ahead and sell it. We're going to sell for what we can get. Oh, okay. Weren't you supposed to carry 9,000 passengers and have a cinema? And it was the world's?
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah, yeah. We spent a billion, a little over a billion. But what are you going to do? We're a German Hong Kong shipbuilding company. and you know what we're going to go bankrupt. So they tried to sell it. Nobody wants it because things are going that well in the cruise line industry.
Starting point is 00:18:53 So we're just going to go ahead and scrap it. It sucks. There's no doubt about it. But, I mean, maybe you can get a good deal. Maybe you know what we need to do. Serious business now. This is just no joke. No joke.
Starting point is 00:19:10 What am I, Joe Biden all of a sudden? No joke. Why don't we, instead of scrapping it, why don't we get the UN to buy it and send it over to Pakistan and let people live on it until they get done with the flooding? I'm just a thought is all.
Starting point is 00:19:30 We can call it the Pakistani arc or whatever you want to do. And if that's not enough, if housing 9,000 people or more on this ship and people, Pakistan for the people that are homeless now because of this once in a lifetime climate change flood that really isn't. It's just the monsoon season. That, you know, let them stay on this.
Starting point is 00:19:53 There you go. Instead of us giving all this money and cash to have it just be sucked into the black hole of Pakistan. Why don't we just, and the black hole of the United Nations, why don't we just ship it over and take it? We'll take it. We'll take the vessel, and we'll name it a new name, and we'll just let the Pakistanis live on it until the flooding is gone. I mean, I'm just thinking out loud here, trying to help the world, instead of selling this ocean liner for scrap.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I'm just trying to help. That's all. I'm just trying to help. I mean, I know the cruise line industry is still kind of reeling from the COVID vaccine, from the pandemic of COVID. I see where Elon has just announced a deal with Royal Caribbean, where he's going to implement SpaceX's Starlink on the cruise lines, so that you'll have the fastest broadband internet, innovative broadband internet service
Starting point is 00:20:56 on the Royal Caribbean International, the Celebrity Cruises, the Silver Sea Cruises. And I'm sure, and this is just me. Again, I don't know, but we could ask, I'm sure that Elon would put up, you know, slap on a couple of star lengths on the old, on the old Global Dream 2 before it goes to scrap metal. And then that way the Pakistanis can have some internet too while they're on the ship. I'm telling you this is a good idea. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And people aren't thinking of it, but it's a good idea. And it would help save lives. Instead of, you saw the pictures, the pictures are horrific. I mean, people are suffering over there because, because the flooding buildings are falling down. They're building little tarp houses to live in because they've got to have some place to have some kind of shelter. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:21:46 So we use the Global Dream 2, and that houses at least 9,000, at least. They say that it was going to have 9,000 visitors, but that's not counting the workers, right? So you're looking at what, maybe 10,000 people that they could house on the Global Dream 2? and then if Royal Caribbean any of their cruise lines
Starting point is 00:22:09 are just sitting there collecting dust, send them over to it. Or we could even use, you know what, we use the Global Dream 2, and we can ship over some of the yachts that we took from the oligarchs and let them sit out there and let the people live on those too. That'll go over
Starting point is 00:22:25 well. I mean, what are we going to do with them? What are we doing with those yachts now? They're just collecting dust, barnacles growing on the bottom of them. So let's tip of them to Pakistan and let people live. on them so that they can survive instead of dumping cash into the black hole of the UN. You're welcome. You are welcome.
Starting point is 00:22:59 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. For those of you listening live, today is the 1st of September 2020. years ago, 50 years ago, this day, September 1st, 1972, the match of the century happened. American chess grandmaster Bobby Fisher defeats Russian Boris Spaski, the World Chess Championship in Reykavik, Iceland. I know, it was awesome, and it still is awesome. So it was the most publicized title match ever.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Bobby was 29 at the time He was, I mean, he's Bobby Fisher If you don't know who Bobby Fisher is Look it up He is the chess king of the world And he, you know I mean movies Songs, books, all of it
Starting point is 00:24:06 You know And he had his You know What made him great was that he was arrogant and demanding And you know, whacked out of his mind Chess Champion That's what made him great the whole match was
Starting point is 00:24:20 politically motivated kind of it was against the Soviets and he had already accused the Soviets of rigging the tournament and he said you know it's really the free world against the lying, cheating, hypocritical Russians he said
Starting point is 00:24:41 they always suggest that world leaders should fight it out hand to hand that's that kind of thing we're doing. Okay, nice. Now, he was, while it was the Americans against the Russians, the nasty, lying, cheating, and hypocritical Russians, he still was an
Starting point is 00:24:58 American and wanted money. And he wanted more money and he wanted a cut of TV and the film rights. Yeah, I was a little bit ahead of his time for that and he should have gotten it. But he didn't show up to the opening ceremony. He was like, I'm going to hold out. No, I want more money. So they doubled the prize purse. They had some British billionaire, this Jim Slater doubled the prize purse.
Starting point is 00:25:19 And it's been said that Henry Kissinger, who was the National Security Assistant for President Nixon at the time, gave him a call and said, hey, Americans want you to go over there to beat the Russians. You know, he may have said a few other things than that. But he went over and he was awesome. The billionaire said that, I'm not worried about
Starting point is 00:25:47 everybody thinks that Bobby Fisher is graceless, rude, and insane. I don't care about that. I did it because he was going to challenge the Russian supremacy, and it was good for chess. And he was right. Because it was. So Fisher won $156,250
Starting point is 00:26:04 for the feat. The Grand Master Spaskey earned 93,000. And then Fisher lost the world title by forfeited 75 when he refused to play against the Russian in Manila after the competition's governing body failed to meet his demands. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:22 he asked for more stuff. And they were like, no, we're not going to give it to you. And he was like, well, fine, I'm not coming. Screw off. Oh, you're the world champion. Everyone knows I'm the world champion. Okay. All right. And then he disappeared. Then he
Starting point is 00:26:40 reappeared for a match against Spaskey again in 1992. he won. And that was held in Yugoslavia under a United Nations embargo at the time. So of course that led to conflict with all the governments and his participation. And then
Starting point is 00:26:58 he was granted an Icelandic passport and citizenship. And so that's where he lived when he died in 2008 of kidney failure. So amazing. Amazing story.
Starting point is 00:27:14 and an amazing life, Bobby Fisher. One of my favorite movies. Searching for Bobby Fisher. And it really doesn't have anything to do with Bobby Fisher, except that that's the title. And it's about the chess prodigy, Josh Waitskin, and the title is searching for Bobby Fisher. And I love that movie so much.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Joe Montenia, Ben Kingsley, Max Pamrock, it's really a cool. If you have not seen Searching for, Bobby Fisher. I mean, it came out in like 1993. But it is really, really. It's one of my favorite movies at all time, I think. It's one of it's up there.
Starting point is 00:27:54 There's a lot of movies. I mean, there's a number of movies that are really, really good and really, really funny. But this movie is probably one of my favorites. It's, uh, I enjoy the heck out of it. In fact, I may have to watch it again very, very soon.
Starting point is 00:28:10 So those of you listening in California, I hope everything is okay. I know we went through this here in Texas for a brief period of time where they were asking us to voluntarily conserve energy because they were concerned
Starting point is 00:28:25 about the power grid going off and it's not fun but they asked people, they issued a statewide flex alert and they asked people to set your thermostats to 78 or higher avoid using large appliances and also charging electric
Starting point is 00:28:42 vehicles. And oh yeah, don't forget to turn off on necessary lights. So there you have it. I mean, this is happening all over the country at a time when they're telling us that we need to do more for the environment by using more electricity, not run by coal.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Oh, okay. So I thought power just came from the little magic box on the wall. I guess not. I guess not. And sad news out of Texas. I know. Well, it could be still happy news. It might not all be sad. Ten years ago, a company that went by the name of Texas Central High Speed Railway
Starting point is 00:29:26 announced plans for a bullet train that would take passengers from Dallas to Houston in 90 minutes. Trains would be running up to 205 miles per hour by a 2020. Except it's 2022, and it is. not happen. So, and this is, you know, how sad is it? When were they, in the story they talk about, this is when vice president,
Starting point is 00:29:58 then vice president Joe Biden told the Dallas crowd, you're going to lead this country into an entirely new era of transportation. Excuse me, Mr. Vice President, president. an era of new transportation is not a train, but hey, what do I know? So apparently they've had a bunch of people leave, like leadership people. Oh, yeah, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:30:28 We're done. Have a nice day. Take care. I'm out. So they even got a ruling earlier this year by a judge that said that Texas Central could use eminent domain for its high profile. project. So they allow, they're saying, yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Eh, people won't get out of your way. Just move them. Oh, wait, what? Yeah. I mean, nothing says Texas like your land isn't your land. It's unbelievable. But they got the news and the board had already disbanded. The CEO and president had resigned. The original timeline is shot. And land acquisition is down to almost nothing now. So very, very high. sad, very sad news that the train between Dallas and Houston that's going to be, you know, take 90 minutes to travel there and go 200 miles an hour is not going to be up and running because, oh, that might sound familiar.
Starting point is 00:31:27 There's so many of these train companies, train corporations, trailblazing the future. And they spend way too much money on land. There's so much fraud, so much collusion. And then they just closed down. Almost sounds like something that happened in California. Oh my gosh, it was. And so now we're, this is almost going to go with good. Goodbye.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Have a nice day. We're not going to use it. I mean, we might hop on it and let's go to Houston. It'll be fun. We'll take the train. And then what are you going to do when you get to Houston? Walk around in a hundred degree weather, sweat. And you don't have a vehicle.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So then you're going to just stay close to the train station, wherever that let you out, then hop back on the return train and travel back to Dallas. Or people in Houston will come to Dallas and do the same thing. It's just dumb, dumb. I mean, I don't believe that we have the desire to go between Dallas and Houston in 90 minutes on a bullet train. And it's not called the bullet train. It's just a fast-running train at 200 miles per hour.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And make money. I mean, we have plenty of trains going up in this neck of the woods from the airport to the city. these and you know who rides them nobody now that might change as gas prices and other things start to happen around the country that affect people's travel the ways of travel but as of right now nobody this episode is brought to you by peloton a new era of fitness is here introducing the new peloton cross-training tread plus powered by peloton Peloton IQ built for breakthroughs with personalized workout plans, real-time insights, and endless ways to move.

Well, good news, the FDA has cleared the new boosters without the complete data from human trials. we knew that was coming. And it's now one of those normal things, just like the flu shot. It's the first time it's been done for COVID-19 vaccine. The FDA has relied on data from mouse trials.
Starting point is 00:34:06 We talked about that the other day. Plus, yeah, we used human data from the humans that we gave it to originally. That's all. So they're out. It's good to go. Today, the CDC is going to have their advisory panel weigh in on whether to issue their own recommendation
Starting point is 00:34:23 to clear the shots. I wonder what they'll decide. I wonder what they'll decide. Then, of course, the CDC director makes the final call. I wonder what they'll decide. I wonder what they'll decide. So they're going to start shipping the doses out.
Starting point is 00:34:45 The goal is to get it out there and get people boosted at the pharmacies and the doctor's offices. Yay. I mean, good luck. Good luck, because I feel like it's not going to happen. Not the percentages that you want. I mean, we've got mandates and lockdowns long gone.
Starting point is 00:35:07 The, you know, the CDC and the FDA have definitely lost their pandemic grip. There's no doubt about that. And so Americans are like, I tell you what, you know for years how we decided our own fate on our health and what we did we're going to go back to that because we got really sick of you telling us what to do.
Starting point is 00:35:32 So we're not going to do it anymore. How about that? What do you got to say to that? Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. I know our great president is speaking tonight if you're listening live. I said earlier,
Starting point is 00:35:44 it's the 1st of September 2022. The president of the United States Joseph Robinette Biden is going to to be speaking tonight on how our rights are being lost. He won't remind everyone
Starting point is 00:35:58 that it's because of him, but it's just silly of me to think like that. Oh, did you see where the wing closes all locations? This really could be a who died today. Who died today?
Starting point is 00:36:17 The wing. You remember the wing, the all-female club network known for its feminist-themed marketing and millennial pink walls. Yeah, it emailed members the other night that, yeah, we're going to have a permanent shutdown. I know we've got six remaining locations open, but not anymore. We're closed.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Wait, what? Yeah, we're done. So, so much for the feminist boys club. You know, I mean, it cost $95 to $300 a month. to be part of the Wing Club. Wow. So it was purchased. Remember the CEO left under racism charges or whatever?
Starting point is 00:37:04 So it was purchased by Office Space Company, IWG, BLC or whatever, it's IWG. They have the majority stake in the wing. And so the people that work for wing or the people that are left working for wing, I guess can take other positions with office space so maybe they didn't lose their jobs that's great
Starting point is 00:37:30 that's good I don't want people to lose their jobs but I just find it interesting that the women's club couldn't hang on I know I know blame it on the pandemic okay so it opened up in 2016
Starting point is 00:37:46 so rest in peace the wing years old. Dead at six years old. So we started out talking earlier in the show about life expectancy, and then I see this list.
