Congratulations are in order to 19-year-old South Florida man, Matthew Concepcion. He was among the 1,000 participants from 32 states, Canada and Latvia, who participated in the annual challenge, the 10-day competition of the Burmese Python Hunt in Florida. He won. Congratulations. He captured 28 Burmese pythons during the 10-day competition, and that means that he wins.

The grand prize of $10,000, courtesy of the Bergeron Everglades Foundation. Dustin Crum, you may know Dustin, he won $1,500 grand prize for removing the longest python at just over 11 feet. And remember earlier this year, who was it?

Earlier this year, they had the heaviest python ever captured in Florida. The female, it was like 215 pounds of 18 feet long and carrying 122 eggs. That was not part of the Burmese python hunt, though. And so anyway, congratulations.

Now, as I'm reading about this, and congratulations to Matthew, But he goes on to talk about how he hunts for the pythons. And he says, I've been hunting pythons for about five years now. And I typically look for them at night because that's when they're on the move, seeking the warmth of the roads. I use my vehicle lights to spot them. I thought spotlighting was illegal.

A lot of the hunters weren't supposed to be out there with spotlights. Well, those are separate spotlights, Jeff. Those aren't the ones if he's just using automobile lights. Okay, well then you got me. So I wouldn't be telling the secrets, Matthew. I wouldn't be telling the secrets. And of course, of course. Burmese pythons aren't protected except by Florida's anti-cruity law.

So participants had to document that each one was killed humanely. So that's good. Anyway, congratulations, Matthew. and I'm glad that you ridded the earth of 28 Burmese pythons. Now, they had quite a record of how many they got rid of. Hold on. What was the amount that they got rid of for the entire event? 231 unwanted pythons.

So, I mean, People in Florida are safer, thanks to the python hunt in Florida. Maybe we spread them out though now with the, because this started back in 92, right, with Hurricane Andrew. That's when they first spread them out, and that's when they started, you know, breeding and headed into the Everglades. So now we had Ian come across the other direction and shoot them across. So maybe, you know, maybe Miami's getting them back. I have to change how we hunt for Burmese pythons. All right, I'm done.

Congratulations to Matthew. Really, seriously, great job on hunting them illegally with spotlights. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Oh, no. Breaking news as we record Chewing the Fat today. Not only is it dark days over Tampa Bay because, they lost to the Baltimore Ravens

last night. And their head coach Todd Bulls said Dark Days in Tampa. We have news that Tom and Giselle have filed for divorce. And I don't wish that on anyone, but Giselle has

really screwed up the Tampa Bay Buccaneer season. And I don't care who's side. You could be on Giselle's side, you could be on Tom's side, but this should have not happened during the season. And that needs to be put to it. Because now, I mean, this is the first time Tom has been

and it has a losing record, eight games in or seven games in, whatever the hell their record is. I mean, they're struggling. And it's all Giselle's fault. I'll just leave it right there. I wish nothing but the best for both of them. I was going to say back to Florida, but we were still in Florida. I mean, we had the Burmese Python story. I got Tom Brady. I've got this story, three Florida men have been arrested for stealing semi-loads of frozen beef and pork from packing plants across the Midwest. How come I wasn't aware that?

I mean, I just buy a trailer full of stakes. Prices are through the roof. So, 45 thefts totaling $9 million. So starting in June, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, which I believe is, in Nebraska, started investigating events, and they realized, hey, this probably is not just us. So they got involved with Homeland Security, and they identified approximately 45 thefts, $9 million. They described the theft ring as sophisticated and highly organized criminal enterprise.

They were stealing semi-loads of meat. Are they sophisticated? Okay. So they're based in Miami. They target beef and pork packing plants, specifically in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

And so the thefts continued to occur across the region throughout September. More than 100,000 in pork products were reported stolen. They utilized cell phone records and GPS tracking devices. And

they identified an arrest of the three targets in the enterprise. Now they claim here that they recovered three semi-trailers with stolen merchandise, valued at $550,000. They say they were charged with transportation of stolen goods, money laundering in Florida's federal court. They say at the time, though, it's unknown what the men did with the stolen meat.

However, the investigation, of course, is ongoing. But they were a sophisticated theft ring. So that's, I don't know, These guys were making some serious money just ripping off the trailer loads of meat. Crime, it's a beautiful thing. Are we sticking in Florida? Yeah, let's stay in Florida.

I just want to say it wasn't me, okay? I've had my problems with bicyclists around the country for many years. Told you the stories before. I made a couple of jokes on the air that bicyclists didn't think was funny. I had to apologize. I've gotten beat up by bicyclists,

but then everybody's been emailing me about this story in Clearwater where a bicyclist was beat up and then killed. I don't wish that on anyone. But it wasn't me. I wasn't in Florida. I had nothing to do with the bicyclist getting beat up and killed in Clearwater Beach. Okay, I just want to lay that on the record right now. It wasn't me.

I have had my problems with bicyclists and bicyclists. and bicyclists in the past, but no longer. No one. No one supports bicyclists or bicyclists more than me, Jeff Fisher, here on chewing the fat. No one. We just talked about the anniversary of the death of Helena Hutchins because our pal, our pal Mr. Baldwin, posted on his Instagram that it was a year. A few days ago was a year anniversary.

Well, the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office now says they have completed its investigation into the fatal rust shooting that left cinematographer Helena Hunchins dead. Criminal charges against those involved could be eminent. Now, that means that our boy, Alec Baldwin, could face charges. Now, do you think, just for a second, think to yourself, is Alec, is he going to face charges? I don't think so. I think we've completed the investigation. The district attorney said they received Santa Fe County Sheriff's investigative report on the Rust movie said incident, and that will now focus on uploading the integrity of the process.

Will you? So that process is going to be We have completed our investigation today And we feel that no charges Will be broad against anyone on the set of rust Including Mr. Alec Baldwin And how I want someone to fire a gun When they say his name

But I doubt very much that criminal charges Will be brought against Alec And so if this wraps up We could be dumb with the old Santa Fe story although he'll start shooting they said he was going to start shooting again so we could be back on the new rust set

and I don't know if the rules are going to have to revisit the rules of Alec Baldwin talk now that this case wraps up so once they finalize the investigation we get the news if it still goes on and they charge him

all no problem then the rules for when you hear the name Alec Baldwin you'll hear the gunshot here on Chewere and the Fath. That's been a rule since the shooting. And if I say, you know, sometimes I the thing is, is I forget

that we have that rule. So, I mean, once I say his name, I realize, oh yeah, we have that rule, and then the gunshot goes on. And that's the rule. Like we, you know, we had after the shooting, I say his name, you get a gunshot. I say his first

name, you get the gun cocking. If I say Mr. Baldwin, we're good. We're good. But I have to remember. And sometimes when I'm talking about the shooting in Santa Fe on the Russ set, I forget that I'm talking about Alec Baldwin. And, you know, there's the gunshot. It reminds me.

Especially, you know, when I, I don't necessarily forget what I'm going to say his full name. But there are times when I'm talking about it, and I'm like, well, but Alec said. And then I remember, ah, supposed to say this stupid name. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Desperately. It's official. I mean, Elon has taken over Twitter.

It's a done deal. He kicked CEO and Ned Siegel, too, right? Argoali and Ned Segal. He came in, kicked him both to the curb. Take care, get out of here. Get out. I don't know that Elon was there, but we were told that he had security.

escort them out. Now, you know, that's what happens when you get fired from a place. I've been escorted out of a building before. Ouch. And, well, it is ouch, too. It sucks because, you know, you figure you're in good graces and, you know, you got the boot, and you just, you'll pack up your stuff and go. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and walk you

out. Okay, well, we'll get all your stuff out of your office and everything, but it's time for you to go. So let's go. Get out. It's a long walk of shame, man, down that hallway. I've taken that walk before. So I understand. And you saw where Elon was there the other day, brought the kitchen sink in, which was a long way to the well for that joke, but whatever. And let this sink in. Okay, thanks, Elon. And then I showed a picture of him at the coffee bar, at the Twitter coffee bar

with all the employees. Their faces were awesome, man. You could tell the employees that are probably still going to be there and the ones who aren't because they have the look on their face like you son of them oh i hate you and uh there's one guy at the one picture i loved where they're all at the call elons leaning up against the coffee bar with his coffee there's one guy off on the right off by himself at the end i don't know if he's pissed that he can't get his coffee because everybody's at the coffee bar order and coffee or if he's pissed at elon is there but he It's not a happy camper. And life is good at the Twitter headquarters.

I mean, Facebook is the same way. Remember, we did stories all about their cafeteria and what's provided for them. I mean, I could go down the hall here at Mercury Studios and get a Rice Krispy treat. All right, that's, I mean, that's, I'm living large here at Mercury Studios with a Rice Krispy treat. Maybe a Snickers or a Hershey bar.

snack bar, some chips, some sodas, some water, which is pretty sweet. I'm all for it. Thank you. I appreciate it very much. Company provides it. But that is not a cafeteria.

I do not have Millie cooking me up a quick ham and cheese oblet and, you know, getting a fresh cup of coffee from the coffee bar. And you know what? Give me one of the way out back to my office. Let me have one of those little strawberry banana smoothies too. Yes, with the little.

protein scooped into. Okay? Thank you. I want to have that done though before I go back upstairs. I don't want to have to wait at the elevator for the smoothie, okay? I mean, I'm for that. I am living large for that. Anyway, we'll see the changes that happen at Twitter.

The world is on fire because Elon is now in charge of Twitter. He's got his Tesla guys running the behind the scenes at Twitter now. If I'm the Tesla engineers, though, I'm kind of like bro

that's not what I signed up for but maybe that is maybe he went to them and said you know I'll throw you a couple extra bucks shut up I'm gonna have you because he's got to have his people take a look at all the inner workings

and the nuts and bolts right because otherwise you end up like the New York Post with their disgruntled employee posting stories on the website you know about having the governor taken care of business.

Some really, really awful, awful, awful stories showed up on the New York Post yesterday, but they were a little funny. But they found out who that employee was and kicked them to the curb. And of course, it was just a disgruntled employee. We couldn't do anything about it, sorry. Okay, we've talked about Harvey Weinstein trial still going on.

And I know, look, we have to preface with every Harvey Weinstein story with, I know he's a dirtbag, okay? And he's already been, you know, found guilty. He's in New York, and although that's being appealed, and we'll see what happens with that. But they just had an Ashley M. testify in Los Angeles. And she went on to talk about how terrible it was with Harvey one time as he straddled her at one point and groped her breast. and she couldn't see Harvey's genitalia, but she saw him making a motion like he was, you know,

pleasuring himself. And then he took care of business on her. And she said she wiped it off and got dressed and went out and didn't say, couldn't say anything to anyone. She was just so horrified. She couldn't say anything to anyone. and Harvey's assistant was outside the door at the time and didn't hardly looked at her

and the reason that she took this meeting with Harvey is because he tried to have her massage him earlier and she said no so then after they were done shooting they got back into the car and she said that I looked at Harvey's assistant with the looks of is it okay I don't want to come in and she looked at me

with the look of it's okay I'll be here. Okay. So then after all of it, this supposed interaction that she was so horrified with, she couldn't say anything to anyone, that now she's okay. She was just too ashamed to say anything then. Now, you think to yourself, well, okay, you know, he's on trial. We're facing this. Okay, so this particular case with Ashley M., this particular alleged incident, isn't even part of the trial. Why are we even hearing about it? Well, because the prosecution is allowed to question witnesses to prior bad acts in sexual assault cases to show a defendant's pattern of behavior, which could show their intent. Okay. So he's pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of rape and

sexual assault involving four women, including California's yeah, I'm sorry, it's not the first lady, it's California's first partner, Jennifer Seibel Newsom. That's his wife. Can we just call her the first lady?

This drives me crazy. And all of them are going to testify as well. So we're just piling on. Now, I mean, he's got 23 years in New York. He's going there appealing that. It just drives me. saying that we're hearing all this. And I know,

I know, I know. He's a dirt bag. I got it. But, Izzy. It was so horrible that she had to go back to filming the movie that she was in. That's how

horrible it was. She couldn't just walk away from making the money and the paychecks or anything. No, that's how horrible it was. That's what I mean. Is he? More proof that you'd never bend the knee. Don't bend

the knee. Taylor Swift edits her video for her new song. It was like the number one song on Spotify videos, saw millions of views and streaming, and she edits the video to appease the

fat activists that accused her of fat phobia because she stepped on a scale in her video and the scale said fat. Now, I want to be clear. I've stepped on many, many scales in my life.

Now, while I have not seen a scale that said fat, that's what I see. That's what I see when I step on a scale, fat. So anyway, people were all wound up and they gave her a hard time. And she looks down at the scale where it says, fat. As it describes your body image struggles. Fat people don't need to have that reiterated yet again. That's it. Everyone's worst nightmare. Oh, okay.

The Taylor Swift fat discourse is killing me. Oh, okay. I feel like the fact that every single person defending Taylor Swift is white and thin kind of reinforces the point. Nobody who has experienced actual fat phobia is coming to her defense. Just the thin girls who feel fat sometimes. Oh, they're now the experts. Okay, so Taylor bends the knee and edits the video. Are they thankful?

Did they say, oh, Taylor, thank you. We appreciate it. It means so much to me. Nope, nope. Now it's all. She removed one of the most important parts of the video, showing her struggles. How can we do that? never bend the knee to the rage mob.

Just don't do it. It's never enough. It doesn't matter. All they want is blood. And if they get blood, they're going after more of it. It doesn't matter. It's just agon.

Look, I'm not a huge fan of Taylor Swift, but I appreciate all she's done and the talent and the fame she has. I mean, I'm like, oh my gosh. so I mean So now she is definitely You know I mean when I don't know

I just feel like If you're at Taylor's Point of stardom Those are the people you want To not bend the knee Because that shows The rest of the crowd Oh

I don't have to bend the knee every time Taylor didn't Taylor's just doing what she thinks is creative and talented and nice. And you just take it the way you take it. And that's the way it is. Instead, we bet the knee. Agonizing.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-86653310 or visit Commaxonterio.ca. If you'd like to contact the show, you can always email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, like Janelle did. Janelle emailed me saying, I totally understand why you feel the Canon theme should stay with Operation

Varsity Blues. Coast to coast sure is good. though the victims aren't missing anymore, right? We need a detective on the case. If you decide to switch, there are a few options. Now, the other day, I was talking about the theme music and what we should use for theme music for Oklahoma. Murder in Oklahoma.

And so, Chanel, and I'm guessing it's a she. I don't know that. I apologize. I don't know what you identify as. J-O-N-E-L-E. That's your name. I got it. Recommends Quinn Martin production Barnaby Jones,

NBC mystery movie themes McLeod, Macmillan and wife, Bannichick, even Quincy, Streets of San Francisco. Now, I will say, every one of these shows I have seen. I loved Bannichick, George Pippard, one of my favorite guys. I love the show. But I went back, and I must confess, I listened to about a thousand different theme songs.

I felt like I was working for NBC or CBS or NBC or whatever production house is making these movies. Quinn Martin. So I felt like I was working for Quinn Martin trying to come up with themes for these shows. So I started that most of them are not worthy of what I want to do with Okamalgi. All right. So we have the coast to coast, which, you know, is how we start. started the whole Okamolgi off. But this was in the beginning, right?

And Janelle is right. In the beginning, Okamolgi, missing. Four men. Now we know, right? Janelle, I keep calling Janelle. She, I have to stop that. All right, please shut the coast to coast.

It's throwing me off. All right. Janelle, I apologize. However you identify is. It's not you. So, right, I mean, we know. We got the four bodies. They were dismembered.

You know, we've broken that whole case down. We're waiting. We've got the man of interest in Florida. Broken and all. You know the case. And there's more to it, which, I'm saying. But, so, you know, we have that. Now, of course, we have the Canon theme, which is, you know, my favorite.

But we use that for Operation Varsity Blues. Is that over now? I mean, we pretty much have seen the end of stories from Operation Varsity Blues. So, I mean, we have the Canon theme, which I love. It's my favorite. And maybe that should just be the theme of every crime story I do, investigative crime story I do. But when you, I went back and listened, some of the ones that Janelle, J-O-N-E-L-L-E had listed. like Barnaby Jones,

which is another Quinn Martin production. I mean, this could... Mok Mulgay. Murdered. Dismembered. Barnaby Jones. Thorough and Buddy Ebson. Barthoughby Jones.

I love it. Starring Buddy Ebson. Yeah. Think about it. Also starring Lee Mowler. That was his... With guest stars. All right.

Right, right, right. Classic stuff, man. Barterby Jones. I love it. And then I thought, well, okay. They mentioned McMillan and wife, Rock Hudson and Susan St. James, but I really wasn't impressed with McMillan and wife.

Yeah, because this was more lovey. They were Rock Hudson pretending to be a husband. Susan St. James pretended to be a housewife with Rock. And he was the police chief, I think. Right. In San Francisco. I think it was San Francisco McMillan and Life

Now I have to look that up But see, that really, that doesn't work That really doesn't work. All right, hold on one second, though. I've got to find out McMillan and wife. Yeah, San Francisco. Yeah, former...

I thought maybe it might be a smaller town in California, but I do recall Rock Hudson and Susan St. James. Susie James was looking great. So it was rock back then. They were both looking pretty hot back then. Just a side note on hotness.

Now, of course, we have the classic Hawaii 50. I mean, that's classic. That can't really work. I mean, all right, let's hear Hawaii 50. I mean, this is Jack Lord. Yeah. Remember the big crime guy in Hawaii 50? Well, first everybody remembers the, all right, all right.

Everybody remembers the shot of Jack Lord up on top of the hotel or the condo building. And then it was Book of Deno. But the big crime guy in Hawaii 50 was WoFat. Yeah, I know. Love it. So then Banachek, I loved George Papard. First of all, I love George Pappard. But as Banachek, badass.

It's a private investigator. But the theme, see, doesn't really work. George Pappar with his cigarette cigar. Oh, yeah. George Pard was always taking care of a little business in every episode because he was badass. But it doesn't work for what we need. All right, all right.

Then I thought, well, what about Mannix? Does anybody remember Manix with Mike Connors? Manix. Oak Mulgee Now it doesn't work Maybe it does with video If I had video Ogmoggi

You should dismembered bodies around Awesome Nah it doesn't work The one that I think does work though Is this one I don't know I heard it last night I thought well this might work

It's possible And With Jack Klugman Quincy And the world of forensic medicine but the whole thing might work either after he sets it up because he remember the show

he would come in they had the open and then the video would open and Jack would come in and welcome to the world of forensic men is the most I don't know the most intriguing or whatever he says

you'll hear what he says and then he pulls the sheet off of the dead body and the cops pass out and only a couple are left standing and then they go back into the theme of Quincy see I kind of like

like this. I kind of like the feel. All right, time for Oak Mulggy update. Right? Come on. Time for an Oak Mulggy update. Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most fascinating sphere of police work. The world of forensic medicine. The fascinating sphere of police. All right, all right.

I think that might work, though. like the, I like maybe we just go from, maybe we just, just start it where he says, we're about, you're about to, you're about to, you know, the most fascinating sphere of police work. And then that goes into the open. That could be the open for Oak Mowgli. Because we are, we have to find out the bodies have been shot and the arms cut off and all that. So look, can we start that right there? Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most fascinating sphere of police work. The world of forensic medicine.

Okibogi. All right, all right. I don't know. I can't decide. None of them really work for me. I mean, I went through and I listened to, you know, I quote Matlock all the time on the show. I quote Matlock all the time on the show.

You know, I mean, my favorite quote from Mattlock, hello. Murder is a messy business. So I wanted to, uh, and I played his theme. minute, it's okay. See, just doesn't. Andy Griffin is Ben Matlock. All right, that's fine. But I mean, you know, I'm still going to use the Andy,

you know, the Andy Griffith, Ben Matlock. Murder is a messy business. And then we have, then I thought maybe the fugitive with David Jansen, who I love. I mean, I was a big fan of David Jansen. And I still am, by the way. But I see where the fugitive with David Jansen, that opened the first episode. The one that I sent in has the whole story of the fugitive.

And if you remember Harrison Ford played in the movie, The Fugitive. This was, you know, David Jansen was the fugitive, the TV star. I don't think that TV show was three or four years. But the fugitive music, maybe. I don't know. Hey, everybody. Look at the money these companies have made producing these songs, man.

They're all just agonizing. They're not any canon, I'll tell you that. Tonight's episode Murdered and dismembered in Oak Mowgli. Cannon. Starring William Conrad. Starring William Conrad. All right.

I love Canon. That's good stuff, man. That is good stuff. So I can't decide. Maybe I'll just have somebody come up with a theme. An actual chewing the fat, murder, mystery, detective theme that works. Because Cannon is so good.

And Coast to Coast is, that music is, the beginning of a of a story right it's not the it's not for the ongoing legacy of the story we got to have something that gives us an ongoing legacy and I don't know I don't know what that will be but we will find it gentlemen you are about to enter the most fascinating sphere of police work I don't know how many times I could hear Jack Klugman anymore you know losing my mind but it's possible that we might use Jack. Quincy.

He lived on a boat. If I remember Quincy, Jack Klugman, he lived on a boat. It was down in Florida. He was an old white guy. Always trying to take care of a little bit of this on the boat. That's what made Quincy so special. But he couldn't be bothered with business when he was involved in a case because he's too deep.

It was the most fascinating sphere. of forensic medicine. All right. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer.

Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless, topings. toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals.

You gift the good stuff. All right, some headlines to get you through the weekend. If you're listening live today is the 28th of October 2020. Know that on the 29th, just a reminder, I may not be here on Monday. The power ball drawing is Saturday. And it's 800 million. So, you know, I could be gone.

If you tune into Chewy the Fat on Monday and you hear I won but I could be here you know what? I might out of the goodness of my heart if I win I'll promise you right now

if I win Monday I will be here just for you might not be a full show well it'll be a full show because wherever I start and end will be the full show

but it won't be that long. It won't be what you are used to having as a full show, as a listener. It could be me coming on going, I just wanted to let you know I won. Good day. That could be the end. I can be it right there. But, you know, could happen.

Hey, Spotify said that they aren't going to, we talked yesterday about those dingleberries on the bikes, Pelotons, weren't going to play Kanye music. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. That means so much to us.

So Spotify has said now that they're not going to cancel Kanye. His music doesn't violate our policy. We're good with it. You want to listen to Kanye? You go ahead and listen to Kanye. Thank you. And by the way, Spotify, it's yay.

All right? although maybe the music that you have in the timeline is when he was Kanye. Does that count as dead naming? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I'm torn. I'm torn now between Ye and Kanye. He said,

although he said, hey, he came out on Instagram and said, I lost $2 billion in one day and I'm still alive. So come at me. All right, no problem. Yay.

We got you. you, bro. We're with you. Hey, don't forget, too, the World Series starts. So we have the Houston Astros taking out the Philadelphia Phillies for the World Series, the 2022 World Series. Remember, we don't want Philadelphia to win just because of the economy. We have to root for Houston because if Philadelphia wins, the economy goes to crap. Although, you can make the case that perhaps the economy is already going to crap, and it really wouldn't matter what happens if Philadelphia win. But I digress. So this year also marks

the 75th anniversary of the first televised World Series. The New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers. Ah, 75 years ago, that's a long time, man. The first televised baseball game. And I was thinking that maybe baseball should rethink this whole

well, we have to wait. Each game is, we have to wait. Why didn't they start playing the World Series right away? They were all hyped up. man, the playoffs were good, they were there, and then we have to wait because the playoffs got done early, right? The teams won quick. And so then all that time that they had pre-scheduled

for the seven-game series of the playoffs, it was just dead time. Why not move up the World Series? That's not, I mean, we live in 20, this is 2022. It's not 75 years ago. It's not a surprise. We knew one of, two of the four, teams that were playing were going to be in the World Series.

After the first, and each city could prepare, could have a plan in place so that when the games are over, we're starting the World Series. Because I don't know if Major League Baseball knows this or not, but college football and the National Football League

are in prime form right now. And you still got to, you got to give us something to love. You got to give us something to love. I watched the end of the Yankees game when they lost because I knew that, you know, and it was Aaron Judge. It was the last batter for the Yankees this year. Amazing.

He could have hit one out. Another home run tied up the game. Could have kept the Yankees in it. Nope. Have a nice day. And that's the only reason I watched it because I just wanted to see, you know, what happened on that one. And I only watched the last, you know, I clicked over.

It was a seventh inning. Okay, gone. Back to football. Clicked back over, eighth inning. Okay. Back to football. Clicked over. I watched the last half of the ninth,

or the first half of the ninth, whenever the Yankees were up that were costing the end of the game. And now they couldn't do it. Anyway, baseball needs to, you know, revisit a little bit of, I know it's old school, and it's America's pastime.

I got it. But I forget who is honored with the quote of baseball, maybe America's pastime, but football, and it may have been specifically the NFL, is America's prime time. And I want to say Howie Long is the one that said that,
