So the scrapyard owner in Okamoggi, Oklahoma,
Starting point is 00:00:40 has now been arrested. He was arrested in Florida, where they found him and now they're shipping him back to Okamoggi. He is a person of interest in the Okamolgi murders. And we don't need any coast to coast music or anything today. I have just fascinated with this. story. So he owned the scrapyard and was named the person of interest on Friday night. Now that he was reported missing. Yesterday we talked about how he was
Starting point is 00:01:11 reporting missing. Well, they found him in Florida driving a stolen car. I know. It gets weirder all the time. There's no proof of anything happening on his property. In the adjoining adjacent property,
Starting point is 00:01:27 there was a scene where a violent event happened. I'm guessing that's where these guys were murdered, or that's what the police believe. But they found his car abandoned behind some shop in another city in Oklahoma and then arrested him in Florida driving a stolen car. Okay. So then he claimed that, of course, there's no charges filed against him as of right now. I mean, it's an ongoing investigation.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Now, he, the scrap guard owner, claimed that he is serving a probation for pleading guilty to assault and battery with a deadly weapon back in 2012. So he claimed to the sheriff's deputies that he caught six alleged burglars at one of his salvage yards and shot one of them. The others fled. Oh. Okay. So we know that the four guys who disappeared. last week were found in the river dismembered and shot. But we don't have the weapon.
Starting point is 00:02:39 We don't have the bikes that they were on when they went on their usual Sunday bike ride. We know that they had said to some other friend that they were going to hit a lick and not have to worry about anything anymore. So we're guessing that that was going to be some sort of big crime that they were going to commit. But we don't know if they committed the crime. We don't know if they weren't able to commit the crime. and we don't know what the crime would be.
Starting point is 00:03:04 So it's just really a strange story, the Oak Mulggy murders, and I will keep you updated on what's happening. So as of now, we do know that we have the bodies of the four men. They are not missing. We have the scrapyard owner that was where one of the cell phones pinged, the owner.
Starting point is 00:03:25 We have him in custody as a person of interest, and that's it for right now. so hopefully we'll find out what happened and how these guys uh why these guys were murdered last week in oak moldy welcome welcome to chewing the fat and we know now that yay is being sued we talked yesterday about the possibility of it happening and um kind of you know we said how much fun it would be if it were to happen. And it looks like it is going to happen. The mother of George Floyd's daughter, Roxy Washington is the mother, has launched a $250 million
Starting point is 00:04:17 legal bid against Yeh after his controversial comments about George's death. Remember, Yeh claimed that George Floyd died after taking fentanyl and that Derek Chauvin's knee wasn't on his neck. Attorneys claim that the false statements about Floyd were used by West to promote his brand. Now, he made the comments on the Drink Champs podcast, which has since been taken down. Okay. So, Neuru Witherspoon, a partner at the Witherspoon Law Group, who is representing the family, said the interests of the child, Gianna Floyd, are priority.
Starting point is 00:05:01 she is being traumatized by Kanye West's comments and what I don't understand is why they would call him Kanye. Okay, his name is Yeh. Okay, you as an attorney for the Witherspoon Law Group should know that, but I digress. His comments, and he's creating an unsafe and unhealthy environment for her. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:29 All right. Like I said yesterday, this will be fun to see it through. Is Ye going to end up costing $250 million to give to these people? I mean, in today's world, probably yes. In yesterday's world, no. But we no longer live in yesterday's world. we live in a world where Kim Kardashian makes $1,689,000
Starting point is 00:06:05 a post on her Instagram account. I was looking at the Instagram rich list. And by the way, with Kim Kardashian and her 311 million followers, she is sixth on the list. I know. So you look at the top 10. We've got Kendall Jenner running in the family man.
Starting point is 00:06:33 She gets $1,290,000 a post at number 10. And then you get Chloe Kardashian. She gets $1,320,000 per post. 243 million followers on Instagram. Beyonce, with 256 million followers. gets $1,393,000 per post. Coming in at number seven, Ariana Grande, 311 million followers. She gets $1,687,000 per post.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Kim, tied with Ariano with the 311 million followers, makes a little bit more, a couple thousand dollars more at $1,689,000 a post. Then you have The Rock. with 315 million followers on Instagram. He gets $1,713,000 per post on his Instagram account. Number four, at 320 million followers, Selena Gomez. She gets $1,735,000 per post.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Number three, Alain-L Messey, with 327 million followers on a number one. Instagram, he gets $1,777,000 per post. Coming in at number two, with 338 million followers on Instagram, and getting $1,835,000 per post, Kylie Jenner. And at number one, with 442 million followers on Instagram, and earning two,000. and earning $2,397,000 per post, Cristiano O'Rinaldo.
Starting point is 00:08:32 So that's the world we live in now. There's no doubt about that, man. Four Kardashians slash Jenners made it to the top 10. Wow. That's pretty good keeping it all in the family there. So congratulations. Congratulations, because that's the world we live in today. And yes, it's the same world where I find myself wanting to win the Powerball drawing tonight, the 19th of October 2022.
Starting point is 00:09:10 The drawing is $508 million. Now, that's a cash value of only $256.3 million. and I'm looking forward to winning. So those of you that are playing to thinking you're going to win, sorry, it's going to be me. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. You see where Netflix added 2.4 million new subscribers in the most recent quarter.
Starting point is 00:09:53 they were only going to add about a million, so they're happy. They lowered their expectations to a million, and then so it came in at 2.4, and now we're happy. Yay! We got 2.4 million subscribers, yay! So right now they have a total of,
Starting point is 00:10:11 what, 220-some million subscribers, probably closer to 225, something like that, which seems to be pretty, good. You can quote me on that pretty good. Yeah. Okay, it says here they have 223 million. All right, like I was close both ways. Anyway, so they
Starting point is 00:10:35 grew subscribership-wise, but what's really weird is they say that most subscribers in Asia and the Pacific region with 1.4 million new paid memberships compared with only a hundred thousand in the U.S. and Canada. I mean, that is like nothing in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:10:59 in Canada. Wow. Okay. Maybe you ought to think about, I don't know. What do you think? Lowering the price a little bit. I mean, where are we at with Netflix now? 20 bucks a month for the top tier? Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:12 All right, fine. I know that they're starting to, I think, uh, this year. All right. Now I have to find it. But they're going to start having their ad tiered platform. So, okay, well, how much is that going to cost me? All right, here it is.
Starting point is 00:11:35 There you go. Ask it, you shall receive. So they're rolling out $6.99 a month. Ad supported tiered, called Basic. On November 3rd, I mean, it's coming. On November 3rd in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, and the UK. They're partnering with Microsoft to serve ads to users. Says they'll last anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And I wonder when they're going to go in. I'd like to see the marker points. Okay, I can handle the 15 or 30 second ad. It's the amount that I can't take. But anyway, this new tier doesn't give subscribers access to Netflix whole library due to licensing restrictions. Wait, what? Basic subscribers also can't download anything on their devices and can only view content in HD. The company's ad-supported tier notably arrives before Disney Plus, which is set to go live on December 8th.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Interesting. Okay. So they have that. Now they also claim that they're going to start cracking down on password sharing, which we've talked about here on chewing the fad before. Every so often they crack down on, they say that they're going to crack down on password sharing. That's what they say.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And this latest story, you know, they're going to crack down globally on password sharing, you know, next year. Oh, okay. So apparently they want to give users the ability to transfer profiles to new accounts. And it will start letting subscribers create sub-accounts starting next year in line with its plans to monetize account sharing more widely. All right. It says the company added $2.4 million to the streaming service. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:13:48 They lost subscribers for the first time in over 10 years. The subscriber count dipped by another 1.3 in the U.S. and Canada and $1 million worldwide last quarter, but they picked up, of course, in that last quarter. So if they're going to start worrying about password sharing, maybe you drop the price. Plus, I mean, with the ad tier, it'd be okay to have the ads and be able to access everything.
Starting point is 00:14:18 But if you can't access everything, that's kind of ridiculous, right? I mean, why would you do that? I'm tired of paying $20 a month, so if I can't get everything, I want it all or nothing. All or nothing, Netflix. I want to have access to everything,
Starting point is 00:14:40 plus if you want me to watch commercials fine i'll watch commercials i want to have access to everything and i want it to be a lot cheaper there and if i do that uh i'll make it make it so that i can't share my password all right that's one account one password period i don't like the way that sounds but that's probably what they're going to do have you heard of the mischief it's a mischief zip car it's a ms C-H-F and it's a called a non-practical concept
Starting point is 00:15:21 dubbed key for all K-E-Y the number four A-L-L key for all and they sold a thousand keys that all unlock the same car just one car one zip car that's it and so you have a thousand keys out there.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And I think the keys, I'm not sure how much the keys cost. I'm going to play a video here in a little bit that will, it's like for 20 bucks. The key for all is available now on Mischief website for like 20 bucks. All right, $19. US money. So anyway, you get the key in the key fob, right?
Starting point is 00:16:04 So you don't get the car. There's one car out there to find the car. You can call Mischief's Car Location Hotline. And by doing that, then it offers hints of its whereabouts in New York City. When the key fob comes into close proximity with the mystery car, its green LED will also light up. And the specific look and model of the vehicle have not yet to be determined, though collective promises that it's a fun to drive classic with turbo. And so they want it to last forever.
Starting point is 00:16:38 until the car is destroyed or impounded, right? So key for all. Now, the whole point is that it's unownable, right? A journey and a temporary blessing, as they call it. It's a contest without the security of victory. If you find the car, it's yours. You want to enjoy the fruits of your victory and drive around? You can, but you must accept at the risk of taking the car out into the world
Starting point is 00:17:05 that another driver is going to snatch the vehicle out from our car. to you when you park it and leave it. I mean, it's kind of a fun little thing. But then I see a video from a lady on TikTok. Liz is old. And she is a little wound up because of what happened to the mischief car. If you haven't heard about the mischief car, look it up. Okay, I did.
Starting point is 00:17:35 This girl was one of five thousand people who had the key to something called the mischief car. Okay. Basically, anybody could take this car if they could find it via the GPS and then just drive off with that. Hence, mischief. She flies across the country,
Starting point is 00:17:53 finds the car, takes the car, disables the GPS, and proceeds to drive across the country with the stolen vehicle. I say stolen, because the point did, to have the GPS active so that way anybody, one of the 5,000 people with the keys, could come and get it at any time, hence the mischief.
Starting point is 00:18:17 The car needs to be reported stolen. She needs to go to jail because if it was one of us, it would have been reported. Amen. So what do you do? What do you do? Like this person, you know, disabled the GPS and drives it out of the greater New York Metroplex
Starting point is 00:18:40 New York City the five boroughs So I mean It sounds like It's mischief Ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha With
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:21 Conditions of Amex Conditions of So I was looking at the new 2022 best, small cities in America study that ranked 1,300 cities with a population between 25,000 and 100,000 in five overall areas, affordability, economic health, education and health, quality of life, and safety. And I just brought to my attention because two cities in the DFW area, South Lake, and flower mound are on the list. South Lake came in number 35 overall. And flower mound came in number 89 overall. So then I thought,
Starting point is 00:20:05 yeah, let's go see who's number one in some of these areas. So affordability in the best small city in America. Wildwood, Missouri. So that's the cheapest place that you can buy property. But economic education, quality of life. safety, not that great. Economic and health. Looking at Saratoga Springs, Utah,
Starting point is 00:20:33 number one in economic and health. Education and health. Looking at Bethesda, Maryland, at number one, but the other classifications, not that great. I wonder what the number one city, small city in America, for Quality of Life.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Wow. Then Sarasota, Florida, Asheville, North Carolina, Pensacola, Key West, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Greenville, South Carolina, Monterey, California, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. But those are all, you know, the top ten of quality of life.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Safety, safety, safety, the safest places to live in the small cities, in America. Number one, tied for number one, both in Virginia, Sterling, Virginia, and Ashburn, Virginia. Wow, congratulations. And a percentile,
Starting point is 00:21:35 you're looking at Lexington, Massachusetts, Arlington. All these are 99 percentiles. So you've got, what, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and the 99 percentile.
Starting point is 00:22:00 But the number one total score city, small city to live in, with a total score of 70.58 is Lexington, Massachusetts. So congratulations for the smallest city, best smallest city in America. Lexington, Massachusetts. Wow, that is good for you. Wow, the top, wow. All right, now let's take a look at here. The top five total scores, Lexington, Massachusetts, Arlington, Massachusetts, Milton, Massachusetts, Melrose, Massachusetts,
Starting point is 00:22:39 Needham, Massachusetts. Wow, the top six. The top six for the best small cities in America, all in Massachusetts. That seems a bit. a bit iffy. It seems like maybe the Massachusetts area may have
Starting point is 00:22:57 you know, I don't know, donated some money to Wallet Hub. I'm not calling Wallet Hub out or anything. They do fine, but I'm just saying it's a possibility when you see something like that. Maybe it's just me. I mean, it's not a small city,
Starting point is 00:23:14 but I see where American Airlines is opening an exclusive employee-only hotel at their DFW World Headquarters. That's kind of a good idea, actually. Scheduled to open sometime next year. The staff will stay at the hotel during training and business meetings. It is a small city, yeah. It's going to include spaces like dining room, basketball courts,
Starting point is 00:23:39 73,000 square foot gym. They said that it will not be open to the public. But they sent a memo to the staff. outlining details about its brand new employee-only Skyview 6 hotel, opening in early 2023, costing the airlines $250 million, and that's special. Employees, flight attendants, airport agents, pilots heading to training at both American and its wholly owned regional carriers will be able to stay at the exclusive six-in-leged room accommodation. Other staff will also have access to the hotel for things like business meetings,
Starting point is 00:24:18 according to American. We're hoping to simplify team members visiting experience. Now, when they stay in these cities, they all, like I've known a couple of pilots that have had apartments that they rent out with other pilots in other cities where they stay, right, where they get laid over, St. Louis, Detroit, Orlando, Miami, DFW. You know, wherever you get laid over,
Starting point is 00:24:44 you need a place to stay. and instead of having, you know, staying at some crappy hotel, especially if you're going to be laid over for a couple of days at a time, instead of being at a crappy hotel, you will, you know, you rent an apartment or you rent a townhouse or something with, you know, five or six or more pilots, and that's where everybody stays when they get laid over in that city. I mean, that sounds like a good idea, and why wouldn't they do that in their major hubs, like where DFW is for American Airlines
Starting point is 00:25:17 So they're gonna have a place for you to come for all your meetings and you know All your hobnobbing with the bosses But if it's layover why not stay there at the American Airlines Small City Hotel the Skyview 6 hotel that's gonna open here in DFW By their by their national headquarters so I mean okay cool I'm sorry, it's their Dallas-Fordworth headquarters. I thought it was their international headquarters, but maybe not. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:25:54 No, Dallas-Ford Worth is American Airlines. That's their main headquarters. So, okay. It's the world's largest airline, okay, when measured by fleet size and schedule paths. So, hello, you know, we need a beautiful place. Skyview 6 hotel here in DFW. for employees. I'm going to have to find a way to get maybe an American Airlines
Starting point is 00:26:18 employee pass so I can poop, go into the hotel and, you know, do a little swimming in the pool and maybe a little basketball on the court, you know, but for sure, a little swimming in the pool with the boop. And just here to swim. Thanks for asking. Take care. Speaking of hotels and wanting to go see maybe some creepy hotels because Halloween is close by.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Just a few days away. Apparently there's the 1886 Crescent Hotel in Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas that is haunted. There's the Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City, South Dakota. There is the Story Inn in Story, in Story, Indiana. Oh. There is the... Scurvin Hotel, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. There is the Blenner Hassett Hotel in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Starting point is 00:27:27 There is the Hotel Montalillon in New Orleans, Louisiana. There is the Clown Motel in Tenopah, Nevada. Ooh, I don't know. That does not look sound fun. Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, Massachusetts. and the Holiday Inn Express, San Antonio, North Riverwalk area in San Antonio, Texas. The Don Cesar, I've stayed at the Don Cesar, at St. Pete Beach, Florida. That's haunted?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Okay. Hotel Park Central in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Old Harbor Inn in Savannah, Georgia, the Stanley Hotel in Estee Park, Colorado. those are the top haunted hotels in America. I'm going to find out what happened at the Don Cesar to make it haunted. The story behind the colorful castle seized property, size property aptly named the Pink Palace as one of a broken heart. Thomas Rowe built a hotel in homage, yeah, yeah, yeah, met and fell in love with while studying abroad in England.
Starting point is 00:28:38 The romance was real. She nicked him Dan Cesar. before her inexplicely enraged parents forced them to part and took her back to Spain. The result in hotels almost a frame-for-framed tribute to the courtyard and found where they formerly met England. One white suit and the other in a Spanish dress. So we have the sightings of the couple at the Don Cesar.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I have never seen the couple at the Don Cesar. So perhaps some of these stories aren't real. What? I know. I know. But perhaps. Perhaps. I know that some of the hotels, you know, have doors swinging open, windows opening and closing.
Starting point is 00:29:31 So it's possible. It's possible that it's not real. I don't look at me like that. I just said it was possible. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Starting point is 00:32:19 program of honoring distinguished women and their contributions. So congratulations to Anna Mae Wong, who's going to be on the quarter. If you don't know who Anna Mae Wong was, she was known as the first Chinese-American Hollywood star and appeared in over 60 movies throughout her career. And the quarter will go into circulation this Monday, according to the U.S. Mint. I mean, you'll be able to drop those in the old soda machine starting on Monday. It's, look, Wong was courageous advocate who championed for increased representation and more multidimensional roles for Asian American actors.
Starting point is 00:33:11 This quarter is designed to reflect the breadth and depth of accomplishments by Anna Mae Wong, who overcame challenges and obstacles she faced during her lifetime. So congratulations to Anna Mae Wong. Even through all the trials, through all the tribulations, you have ended up on a quarter. And I don't know if Anna Mae Wong used chemical hair straighteners or not, but they may lead to higher risk of uterine cancer. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah, I know. Yesterday, the National Institutes of Health released a study that found women who frequently used their straining products. I guess that would mean at least four times a year. More than doubled their risk for developing uterine cancer. That's after the study tracked over 33,000 women
Starting point is 00:34:09 between the ages of 35 and 74 for about 11 years. During that time, 3708 uterine cancer cases, were diagnosed and it comes as rates of uterine cancer are on the rise in the U.S., particularly among black women. While the research didn't find a link between straightener use and uterine cancer with race, the risk may be greater for black women. So don't be using the hair straighteners.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I mean, we've talked to years about hair dye and, you know, seeping into your brain and giving you Alzheimer's. True? I don't know. I don't know if it's true or not. But it's very possible that it is. You know what I'm saying. So apparently the participants who reported using hair straighteners,
Starting point is 00:35:00 60% self-identified as black women. And researchers say that in addition to using hair straightening or relaxer products more frequently, black women also start using them at an earlier age than other races and ethnicities. Worth noting, black shoppers, According to one report, spent around $473 million annually on hair care, which is a $4.2 billion industry. Another study found that frequent use of permanent hair dye and chemical hair straighteners can lead to an increased risk of developing breast cancer, with products predominantly used by black women containing more potentially hazardous ingredients.
Starting point is 00:35:44 so no mention of Alzheimer's though on the old hair dye the study doesn't specify which brands or ingredients participants used but it does say several chemicals they've found that have been
Starting point is 00:36:00 that are in straighteners parabins biphenol A metals formaldehyde man you can't get enough of formaldehyde could be contributing to the increased risk not to
Starting point is 00:36:13 mentioned that chemical exposure in hair products is absorbed at a higher rate through the scalp. Yeah, that's why if you get the hair dye against you Alzheimer's, that's what we're saying. Now, you can take the bet. I mean, you know, it's up to you. You can, you know, it's possible you take the deal, right? You want your hair to look a certain color. Yep, okay, that's what we're going to do. So either your hair gets a certain color or you, you know, you settle for, yep, I wanted a good color.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I'm willing to have Alzheimer's, just the way it is. and there's probably going to be a cure before too long anyway. Right? Right, of course. Now, we also know that the FDA made a case for pulling McKenna, I think that's how you pronounce it, M-A-K-E-N-A, a drug meant to lower the risk of premature births. They made a case to pull it off the market.
Starting point is 00:37:04 The agency granted accelerated approval to McKenna, McKenna in 2011 with the condition that a follow-up study would be conducted. But that ended up showing the drug didn't reduce premature deaths or result in healthier outcomes for newborns. So what the hell are we taking it for? And it actually increased the risk of side effects like blood clots and depression in mothers. So now the FDA wants to yank the pregnancy drug. Yeah, after more than 300,000 After more than 300,000 women have already taken it.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Well, you know what? Okay, but if it doesn't do anything and it's even worse for you, we can help you with something else. They argue that the evidence of the company, McKenna, or the drug company that makes McKenna argues there's evidence that drug may work in some black women. Oh, well, it might work. so the black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women
Starting point is 00:38:16 and apparently the inconsistent trial outcomes may be the result of differing patient populations so it's asking for time to do another further research while keeping the drug available to those who need it oh okay so hey um did you just pop voluntarily maybe pull it off the market if the trials aren't showing the effect of us. Yeah, no, we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. We'll wrap it up in the middle of the week and we'll decide whether it's going to get tossed or not. We'll let you know.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I would guess that since it actually increased the risk of side effects like blood clots and depression in mothers, and it didn't reduce premature births, or result in healthier outcomes for newborns, I would guess that you would just, I don't know, pull it off the market. Hey, congratulations to Jeff Bezos. He's, you know, over in Italy going to accept his Galilee, the Vatican's Galileo Prophets of Philanthropy Award.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Congratulations. I wonder how much he gave to the Pope for that. But in his acceptance speech, he spoke about finding the most sustainable solution. That would solve the problem not just in the moment, but forever after. Wouldn't that be wonderful, Jeff? But, you know, the ex, McKenzie, is giving all kinds of money away. She said she's going to give it all the way until they go broke. She's going to give it all the way until the safe is empty.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I mean, I've even asked McKenzie here on this show, look, I'm here. I help if if helping me helps you I'm here for you so help me help you and you know drop a dime on me only a little more than a dime would be helpful but okay she just uh she said that she's going to give away the entire 36 billion and she's doing it too. She just gave 84.5 million to the Girl Scouts in the USA. Pretty sweet. Pretty sweet for the Girl Scouts. Good for them. So I know, you know, I know that the girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, was over there with Jeff at the Vatican. And she was just so proud of them. I saw the Instagram post and she's just so proud.
Starting point is 00:40:57 But I will say, I just looked at a recent picture of Jeff. and Lauren. And whatever, Lauren is about better, you know, get down into a certain deep pocket and some cash from Jeff. And you should have laid off some of the work already. But since you've gone this far, just go down the three cuts to clown face
Starting point is 00:41:23 so you could maybe stop the cloud face. Jeff's got enough money. You can find the right doctor and, you know, fix that up a little bit because Lauren, baby honey uh stop it okay no don't stop it find a doc that will help you help you okay find a doc that will help you which in turn will help jeff and then uh mackenzie i'm here to help you okay so let me help you the fat. Okay? All right. Thank you. I appreciate it. I give you the joke of the day,
Starting point is 00:42:08 sent to me to chewing the fat at the blaze.com. This is an old joke, but it's just something to put a little smile on your face, okay? Just so, you know, that the world that we live in today, it's best to just have a little smile on your face, okay? So since we were talking about Jeff Bezos and Mackenzie Scott and Lauren Sanchez and their little, you know, world of divorce and affairs and not cheating on each other. An elderly couple, he's 106 and she's 105. They've been married for 90 years. 90 years they've been married.
Starting point is 00:42:46 And they made an appointment with a family lawyer, and they wanted the lawyer to write up divorce papers.
