They have I don't know Over 100 stores now Or something like that They have Just canceled their mobile app Scan and Go Yeah they're not going to do it

Apparently they haven't found out What Sam's found out a long time ago Just check people at the door With their product Even if you have the scan and go they still check you. It makes it faster because you don't have to go through the cash register and you can just scan while you're shopping and then you hit the door and you're out.

But they do have someone actually double checking the product in your cart with your receipt. That way it cuts down on, you know, theft. So Wegman said, yeah, we're going to go ahead and end the app because of rampant shoplifting. They said the losses we're experiencing prevent us for. from continuing to make it available in its current state. We've made the decision to turn the app off until we can make improvements that will meet the needs of our customers and business.

And that was it. So the Scan and Go app was, you know, they were happy to get it started a couple of years ago and said it's a way to ramp, it's up cashierless, Amazon, like Amazon Go stores. We don't need any cashiers anymore. Oh, okay. Well, maybe you need somebody to just check the carts at the door.

Maybe you hire somebody for that. But what do I know? So apparently they, you know, they're saying that the self-checkout abusers, it's easy to do, and it reaps rich rewards. Even if they're caught, there's no sanctions being applied. And so this particular professor at the University of Leicester in the UK said that he analyzed 140 million scan and go app transactions. And one retailer shared data comparing its stores with and without scan and go apps.

And those with the technology had a loss rate 18% higher than those that did not. Interesting, I'd like to see what Sam's Club and Sam's Club has with their Scan and Go. Because I bet it's a lot less than that. because sometimes you do make a mistake and you screw up. But most of the time, people are pretty honest, I would say. I know, coming from me, weird, I know. And you feel bad when you screwed up by mistake because they're like, hey, that's not on the receipt.

Wait, what? Yeah, it is. No, you forgot to scan it. Oh, well. You know, it's just a way to do it. Now, I know that at, which is not, I mean, the scan and go at the Sam's Club are awesome. and I wish that Costco had it.

They do not. And they have people checking you at the door as well, so I don't know why Costco doesn't have the Scan & Go app. And when I say it's awesome, my wife loves it. That's why it's awesome. So I love it too. Makes her happy? I'm happy.

But I just find it interesting that Wegmans has not figured out maybe you have somebody just check people at the door. That's it. as easy as that. In fact, you're welcome, Wegmans. You're welcome. I'll send you a consultation fee, you know, in the mail. Maybe you'll get it.

Maybe you won't. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Be on the lookout in Miami Beach because there's going to be gunfire and it's not going to be at you. But it could be if you're out for a walk, they're upset in. Miami Beach, on Miami Beach, about the iguana population. It's been expanding, and people are not happy about it. Something needs to be done.

I had a seawall that the iguana's destroyed, said one resident. So they're out shooting them. They've paid a hunter to go out and, you know, humanely, of course, take care of the iguana. and get rid of them. They had a budget last year of $50,000 for iguana removal. They've upped that to $200,000, and they want to tackle the problem with both private and public properties. I don't know.

I don't know how you do that without, you have to give the hunters. And plus, if they put a bounty on them, which they're talking about, well, you know, we put a bounty on them, dead or alive, then, you know, people are going to go out and hunt them. That's the way it's going to be. think that's a better use of our money wait till someone gets shot while you're shooting an

iguana whose fault is that are you stewing the city because you shot your neighbor because you were tried to shoot the iguana here little iguana here baby oh i missed him that's going to be happening all over miami beach now they've created a committee that's going to be formed or has been formed. That's going to look into best practices and competitive bids for removal services. So if you are an iguana hunter and perhaps have a decent weapon to go out and hunt for iguanas, there's one. Then you've got to take them away and you've got to remove them too.

So be ready in Miami Beach for. for gunshots everywhere from private and public property, they're going to be taken down the iguanas. We've had enough of iguana poop all over Miami Beach. We've had enough of property being destroyed from iguanas. They're everywhere. The one picture of the iguanas on a sidewalk in this neighborhood is incredible. And I don't know how else, I guess you trap them and then you move them somewhere.

But who are you going to have the, you know, you got gang. Gator land, you're going to have iguana land. I mean, there's another million dollar idea. So I'm giving you two businesses that you can make some money on right now. You can become an iguana killing and or removal company and go make your bid to Miami Beach. Or you can open up, you know, iguana, iguana land. And then, you know, start doing tricks and showing them off and bringing people in. And you just, you'll get them for free.

Miami Beach, you'll give them to you. iguana land so there's two great ideas right there i mean i hell you're welcome you are welcome i will say something has to be done there's no question about that we have stories all the time there's a new monkey story where the monkey attacks this guy i mean he is uh yapping it with a stick yeah yapping it whacking it with a stick, and he's throwing bricks at him, and there's multiple monkeys in this neighborhood. It's in India. But the monkey, the one big monkey,

finally attacks him, rips his shirt, knocks him down, says, back off. So, I mean, it's time for humans to take ground back. And the iguanas are, if they're starting to take over on Miami Beach, not long, they're going to be spreading out. So something has got to be done.

And I guess it has to be put on, you know, Miami Beach. to take care of the problem. But so be it. That's the way it is. So I think it's better to have an iguana killing and rescue removal team out doing it on public and private property rather than, you know,

just having everyone out on the streets with their weapons shooting iguanas. It won't end well. It will not end well. For the iguanas, or the humans. Hey, you remember Alexandra Kaffron? She was the 18-year-old from Romania

that was auctioning off her virginity for a million dollars? Yeah, well, you can stop, you know, you can stop bidding. There's been an anonymous businessman, who I bet he's an anonymous, who has offered the teen over $2 million. Okay.

Now, Keffron is, repped by Cinderella escorts, which call themselves the world's most famous escort agency. I guess they take 25% off the top. So, I mean, if it's 2 million, they'll get, you know, 500,000, which is not a bad deal for repping one model. But Alexander did an interview on some, I don't know, silly TV show. And she said where she got the idea from. I saw a movie on TV.

It was about a girl who sold herself for $1 million a night. Yes, that's it. And I thought that, hmm, maybe I can do this too. Yeah, maybe I can do this too. Yeah, maybe I can do this too. So she's going to go ahead and do it. You know, she plans on going to school at Oxford University. She's going to buy her parents a home.

Her parents say they are against her doing this. They don't want her doing it. but hey we'll take the house though no hey what are you doing Alexandra stop what are you doing okay sure we'll take the house thank you love you

go make some more money take care so congratulations Alexandra Keffron for breaking that one million dollar mark well by heading two million dollars to sell your virginity Money up front.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. You see where Elton John is going to be performing at the White House. Elton John is going to be performing at the White House. Apparently, they're going to have a big event held on the South Lawn this coming Friday.

If you're listening live, today is the 20th of September, 22, Tuesday. So we're looking at Friday the 23rd. Now, invites have already been sent out. Apparently, guests will be required to get tested for COVID-19 before attending. I guess that's fine. You know, I mean, I can understand that. So John's performance, Elton's performance, was announced after James Taylor performed at the White House this week.

It kicked off the celebration of Joe Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Yay. Wait, so was Elton there already last Friday? Because I thought James Taylor was last week, right? So did we miss the Elton performance? Because this story says this Friday. So, okay, maybe they announced it after James last week and it's going to be this Friday. Okay, so I'm just trying to make sense of, I can't believe that we would have missed Elton John at the White House to celebrate.

to celebrate. Yay! Apparently, this event is part of activities returning to the White House following the ease of COVID-19 restrictions. Yeah, well, you know, you still got to get tested.

So don't think we're completely over it. Although I believe our president said earlier this week, oh yeah, on Sunday, is that the beginning of the week or the end of the week, that the pandemic was over. I thought Elton was retired. Oh, he is retired, but he's just on a farewell tour, which is going to take forever.

Apparently, the actual farewell tour, the Yellowbrick Road tour, wraps up in Sweden in July of 2020. And then after that, he claims that he's going to take a bit of a hiatus and figure out what he's going to do next. Uh-huh. Now, he says, because originally I thought we were supposed to retire because he wanted to spend more time with his family. Maybe I think, I think we've come to the conclusion here on chewing the fact that the pandemic, you know, kicked the crap out of that. The pandemic made him realize, whoof, I don't want to be home. I love hubby and I love the kids, but I can't do this every day. I know I got to do something else.

So he said he already has some ideas on how 2023 is shaping up a documentary titled Goodbye Yellow Road, the final Elton John performances, and the years that made his legend, will be on Disney Plus. And he's going to be part of a theater adaption of the life of Tammy Fay Messner

and her first husband, Jim Baker. Wow, Tammy Fay will premiere in October at the Alameda... Alamedi... Amorpha Phalus. I'm not sure how that's pronounced like that. I think it's Alameda Theater in London. He said he probably won't

release anything next year, but you never know. I might do something with someone else's record, but not mine. Yeah, I thought they were ever the big Christmas thing with what's his face, Ed Shearin. He had the Britney Spears hold me closer, which, you know, they're saying, Brittany, at a hot 100, her first

top 10 single in nearly a decade. Yeah, thank you, Elton, for pulling that off for him. So we'll see. Elton still is a busy man and we'll be performing at the White House. Yay! Let the White House party. They're just party and having a great time because

everything is beautiful and wonderful right exactly now everything isn't beautiful or wonderful for Will Smith since his slapping of comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards that's definitely in this story it's even called

the slap heard around the world so Apple has a new film that they were going to release with Will Smith titled Emancipation and they were going to do it before the end of this year. And now they're saying,

hey, you know what, we're going to probably delay that until next year. Yeah, you know, we shelled out 120 million for the rights alone. We want to be eligible for the award season and everything, but, whew, man, Smith's reputation could tarnish the Apple brand

if the move is released. So we're just going to kind of hold off on this bad boy. Wow. I mean, Will, you seriously screwed up big time. Will Smith, big time. The slap earned round the world. Meanwhile, I guess emancipation reportedly wowed the audience during a test screening earlier this year,

generating an overwhelmingly positive reaction. I know it's probably great. I mean, I like a lot of Will's work, no question. But, man, Will should not have done what he did. I'm sure if he could take it back, he would, but you can't, can you will? And then Mariah Carey, something else to look forward to as long as we're in the break room,

and I mean, you might as well think about looking forward to this. Mariah Carey plans to release her secret alt-rock album from the 90s. Right? I know. So the pop diva has more in common with, you know, grunge than you would expect. Does she? Does she?

so back in the 90s I mean she was had monster hits dream lover fantasy honey all of those holy cow so she plans to release the 1995 LP which had been buried by her label but she unearthed her version of someone's ugly daughter and which originally featured her lead vocals before they were replaced by clarissa dane in the band sheik from Mimi so uh she relieved she revealed to Rolling Stone that I'm working on a version where there will be another artist

working with me. Oh, okay. So Carrie produced and wrote and sang backup vocals on someone's ugly daughter, which came out the same year, uh, that she released her blockbuster daydream album. Her involvement was kept secret by her then label Columbia Records. Weird. Why? I don't know why that, why that was. I asked them wanted to put the record out back then and let them discover that it was me, but that idea was squashed. Wow. All right, so there you go. Good news for Mariah Carey.

She's a 25th anniversary of her butterfly album, which dropped from the pop heavens on September 6th. Did it drop from the pop heavens? What is this in New York Post? Who wrote this article, though, from the Pop? It was from the Rolling Stone, probably. But Chuck

Arnold. Yeah, okay, Chuck. Thanks. Drop from the pop. Heavens on September 16th, 1997. Yeah. It was musical therapy for her toward the end of her marriage and her then label had Tommy Motola. Yeah, I know.

It was just... But then she dropped it from the pop heavens, Mariah Carey. And good news or bad news, depending on how you look at it, uh, Spanish media had reported, uh, this past weekend that Woody Allen

had announced his retirement from filmmaking to focus on writing. Oh. Well, then his representatives were like, uh, yeah, no. That's not what, uh, what he said. So Woody Allen never said he was retiring, nor did he say he was writing another novel.

Okay. He said he was thinking about not making films as making films that go straight or very quickly to streaming platforms is not so enjoyable for him, as he is a great lover of the cinema experience. Currently, he has no intention of retiring and is very excited to be in Paris shooting his new movie, which will be his 50th. I would say, Woody, people like to have movies go straight to streaming or very quickly to streaming. And you could probably make a little bit more money, although you probably don't need to make any more money. But you being the great lover of cinema, I wouldn't want you to actually just, I don't know, maybe watch the film yourself at the theater.

I'm sure you have one at your beck and call if you don't have one in your home already. These people, man, these people tick me off. It's time, never mind. It's darn shame. Darn shame. I mean, I'm happy. I'm happy.

I got to rethink what I'm talking about here. I mean, I'm happy that Woody Allen is not retiring from filmmaking because, whew, well, I mean, I've seen all 49 of Woody's movies, and they are great. And I can't wait for the 50th. You won't be able to drag me out of the theater. I'll tell you that.

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 we're just coming off the Queens funeral, and I was wondering, wow, I mean, I don't know who pays for it. Well, obviously, the United Kingdom pays for it.

But, I mean, how much are they spending on that funeral? Holy cow. But then I saw a list of some of the mega funerals that we've had in the past. And I thought, oh, that's interesting. Because they didn't have Nelson Mandela's on this list, which is kind of weird. They had Washington, D.C., 1963. Yes, John F. Kennedy. They had Kingston, Jamaica, 1981.

Yes, Bob Marley. They had the Staples Center, Los Angeles, 2009. No, not Kobe. Michael Jackson. Remember I said 2009? They had Calcutta, India, 1997. Mother Teresa. I know.

And they had Vienna, Austria on this list, 1827. Ludwig van Beethoven. Because when you think of funerals, you think of Ludwig van Beethoven, man. You don't think of another funeral ever. I mean, they didn't have Nelson Mandela's funeral on this. And this was a pretty big freaking funeral in 2013. Right. I mean, the world was there.

Even our man, Barack Obama was there with his wife and his girlfriend from Sweden, or Switzerland or the Netherlands are there. Remember, because Michelle was so pissed that he was busy flirting with her the whole time. I don't know if that same thing happened at Ludwig's funeral or not.

I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't there. I know. Surprise. So maybe Giselle Bunchin is more pissed at Tom Brady than I thought because I see a story

where the mansion that they were living in in Tampa on day Davis Island that was owned by Derek Jeter. I think, you know, he was the guy that built the joint. I remember they were building it when I was living in Tampa. I think it was finished, completed when I had left, but it was somewhere around 2010, I think, something like that, 2011. For, and I know Jeter sold it for $22.5 million in 2021.

So it, and now they're saying that it's going to be demolished. So is Jezelle demolishing the joint? She's so pissed. Plus, I don't think that they'd demolish this place. At least it said it was for a commercial real estate. I don't think that's going to happen for commercial purposes. They said an application for demolition had been posted, but it had not been completed.

So I don't know that they let that happen or not. I see where Tampa Bay 10. And this story, they call it 10 Tampa Bay. In this story, they call it 10 Tampa Bay. Is that what they call it now? It's not Tampa Bay. 10 Tampa Bay said that the application has not been completed. So, you know, look, it's a houses of the hoity tooty man.

Seven bedrooms, 16, bathroom estate. It's beautiful. It's right on the water, 22,000 square feet, 345 feet of water views. Right there on Davis Island, gorgeous. Tom was always a little disappointed that it was such an easy access. for people.

You know, he didn't like the, you know, it's a 1.25 acres, wine cellar, movie theater, gym, in Law Suite, the auper wing, and an air-conditioned six-car garage. Yeah, you don't want to, I don't want to have to even just feel the 100-degree heat or the 80-degree heat in Tampa when I walk out into the garage. Okay, I want that cooled down as well. But he didn't like the way people could just pull up to the back of the house. and, you know, or they could just pull the boat up.

It's because the Davis Island isn't gated, which is kind of, I'm surprised that they didn't have some sort of, some sort of gate to the driveway. They had to have had that, right? I don't have been back down there to Jeter's house, so I'm not sure there had to be a gate to get into the, on the actual property, right? They couldn't just come up. The only way they could come up is if they were on the water.

They could just come right up to the dock or the seawall. but that's, I'm guessing, that's probably the only way. I mean, he lives on that island. Now they have that place down in South Florida. That's the billionaire island. And that's got their, remember we talked about, that's got their own security. It's got everything.

You're not getting on that island unless you live there. Okay. Or you've been invited and you get to go ahead. We'll escort you. I know, but I can see the house that's right. Yeah, no. We'll escort you. That's the only way you're getting on the island.

Oh, okay. Fine. Here we go. just letting anybody in. It's not going to happen. That's the new place. So I don't know. Where is he staying in Tampa?

Where's Brady staying in Tampa? I mean, he's probably not staying at the Motel 6 on Dale Mayberry. So, I mean, he's got to have some kind of, maybe he's got a condo downtown or something, right, in one of the buildings downtown. I don't know. I'm asking. I don't know.

It doesn't seem like Tom would be a condo kind of guy. but you know it's possible for football season that it is he's got to have some place to stay he probably spends most of his time obviously at the facilities but he's got to have some kind place to go to right I mean that's what Zazella's pissed about let's take at the condo I'm out of here okay fine no problem you know speaking to the NFL I saw a story about how much tickets cost to go to the games. It seemed to be there's plenty of games that are pretty pricey.

I know. I know. It's amazing. The San Francisco 49ers topped the list for four people. Lot parking, a couple of beers, a couple of sodas, four hot dogs. $1,028. That's what they did. They got the cheapest seats, which would be, four tickets would be $888.

Lot parking is $85. bucks. Two beers would be 23. Two sodas would be 945. Four hot dogs would be 22. So you're looking at $1,028 to go to a San Francisco 49ers game. Wow. And of course, coming in at number two,

the very own Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 868 and 44 cents for four tickets. $25 for parking. 17.25 for a couple of beers. $11 for a couple of sodas. $26 for

four hot dogs. Wow, 26 bucks for four hot dogs in Tampa and 22 in San Francisco. They better be better hot dogs. 947.69 cents total. Now that's the those are both in a you know, a couple hundred dollar range. I see, uh, uh, the Raiders and the chiefs are over $800 total. And then you start getting down into a bunch and, uh, quite a few 700, a couple one, two, three, four of the seven hundreds. And then, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, 600s. What are the cheapest? Let's get down to the bottom, shall we? The Arizona Cardinals.

Wow, $228.5. That's doable to see the Cardinals. $169.15 for a couple of beers. There's that parking. That's parking. 15 to park. 1625 for beers, 980 for drinks, 18 for hot dogs. It's pretty good.

Under 300, you've only got two teams. The Cardinals and the Jacksonville Jaguars. $293 the Jacksonville Jaguars are. And then you're coming in at 300. You're looking at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 teams between 3 and 399. And then on up. That's pretty pricey. That's a pretty pricey steep to go to an NFL game.

Maybe you'll watch it at home. I mean, there's nothing like going to a game. There's no doubt about that. I love going to games. I will say that I don't think I ever paid for a ticket. I don't think I ever did. It's kind of, I know I shouldn't say that out loud, but I went to a number of Tampa Bay Buccaneer games.

I went to a number of events at Tampa Stadium and at Raymond James Stadium, and I don't think I ever paid to get it. So, sorry, but I had a lot of fun and did a lot of things. But I don't think I ever purchased tickets because I had press passes. We were broadcasting. I had tickets given to me. I had, yeah, I don't think I ever went to an event there where I paid.

Probably shouldn't say that out loud, huh? Okay, never mind. I didn't say that. Those days are gone anyway. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

So I see they're at it again. The Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas say that a man reached two major milestones when he found a diamond at the Crater of Diamond State Park earlier this month, said that he found his 50th diamond of 2022, which also happened to be the 35,000. I can't even say that word because I don't believe it to be true. But 35,000 diamond to be registered at the state park, according to a press release from the Arkansas State Parks. Over the last four years, this guy has found and registered more than 80 diamonds, 50 of which he found this year. Diamond State Park in Murphy's, Murfreesboro, Arkansas. I've been there. You know, if you heard me talk about going there and what? agonizing time it was there, but congratulations to Scott.

I don't believe that it's true. I think that the park, it's an older diamond mine. So, you know, they claim that they're, you know, they used to mine or harvest diamonds there. They used to grow on diamond trees that are no longer there. You got to get there when, after it rained, and then they till the ground, and all these people show up, and they're leaning and digging through dirt and looking for diamonds.

And I think that the park just seeds the place. now. I think ever so often a guy walks by and just throws a diamond here or there, and that's what you get. And when you find it, oh my gosh, it's another diamond. Keep coming to Crater of Diamond State Park. Keep the tourism alive in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, which is beautiful. That area is gorgeous, no doubt. We stayed not very far from there at a hotel of great people, had a great time, enjoyed the drive, loved Arkansas. Didn't care so much about digging through for diamonds out there all day, but, you know, we did, took the kids out there. And you can camp out there, people camp,

and they, you know, bring their little wagons full of diamond hunting stuff. And, you know, you dig through the dirt for diamonds. And I just feel like they just ceded ever so often. I think at one point, you know, they were getting diamonds out of there. And I think now we're just seeding it every now and then just to keep the tourists coming. But that's just me. You know, that's just me. I just find it very difficult to believe that this is all true.

Apparently this registered as a four-point white diamond. Diamonds are smaller than a carrot or weight than points, with the 100 points being equal to one carrot. Oh, wow, yeah. So a four-point diamond, that's like a piece of dirt. Somebody has just seen this joint. I'm sorry, no. maybe what I need to do is train some birds

to go over to Murfley's Borough and just pick up what they think are diamonds and fly them back to me and then I can check it out then I don't have to go digging because I was reading this story posted on one of the interwebs asking how do I attract a ton of crows or ravens to my yard? My first reaction of that would be why would you want to attract a ton of crows and ravens to your yard?

then at the end of this it got me thinking, well, maybe you ought to. So according to this, this guy and his wife are going to be first-time homeowners, and we have an odd sets of humor. We really want to be the ominous house covered in birds. Does anyone know any tricks for befriending wildlife? To be clear, I'm looking for ways that won't put them in danger physically or anything that would change their diet or hurt them. So one of the responses is raw-in-shell peanuts, too big for smaller birds.

dust and cayenne to discourage squirrels and studge. You're never going to discourage the squirrels. If you put that on the, I guess if you put that on the shelled peanuts, maybe they stay away from them, but I mean, you're going to be fighting squirrels forever. If you're planning to establish a trade relationship, built a level platform that makes some good noise

when you put out peanuts. A corrugated tin or fiberglass panel with posts at the corners, try to keep the keep a consistent schedule and quantity so hey every day at a certain time we're feeding here's your food and make some noise while you're doing it if you if they bring you something give them a little something extra and put it in the same location as they're offering nice so now we're talking remember we did the stories about the birds the crows stealing from people at the sams club or the coscos and the people were pissed and they were working in teams. They would distract you

and then the other one would come up behind and take stuff from your cart. This is what they're doing. So if they bring you money understand that you can and will train them to rob people if you reward them for it. Nice! So is it my fault if the bird

brings back money that they find? That they find? No, we need to do this at the Diamond Mine Park at Crater Park in Arkansas. I need to train crows to bring me back rocks that could possibly be diamonds from Crater of Diamond State Park. And then I don't have to dig through the dirt. They could do it.

All I got to do is say, okay, here's some peanuts. There you go. Crows with peanuts. Well, I mean, you don't want to be those people, man. But you're going to have bird crap everywhere. We talked about the iguanas at the beginning of the show pretty soon. And then if you do, if you keep them coming, then. And if you stop, if you say, oh, you know what, honey, we've had enough of these crows.

And I'm tired of their crow poop everywhere. I'm tired of their yakking in the backyard every day. And now we've stopped giving them their snacks at 2 p.m. And they're pissed or they're banging on the little tin roof that we built out there. I'm just tired of it all. What are we going to do? Good luck getting rid of them because your place is the place now. so you're going to have to either put them down or start

there's going to be uh you know shotgun shell baby uh you have to start shooting and they'll probably they'll still come back and they'll attack there's not going to be a good time so maybe you don't start the whole process maybe you think yourself you know I don't think I'll start the process I would love to have crows that bring me back money

and goods from wherever they get it from including diamonds from Cran and Raymond Park in Arkansas but I'm not going to do that because I'm never going to get rid of them huh man that sounds an awful lot like now you go ahead

you write your own jokes on that okay if that one's all yours email me chewing the fat at the blaze com with your punchline to that joke or just write your own joke around that information that I gave you about crows and never

leaving after you first break them in to arrive. So many jokes with that. And they're all yours, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
