Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Remember way back in October of 2024, last year, when the hospital in Massachusetts had a baby boom, there were 12 nurses in the one unit that were going to have babies. Well, the hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the HSHS,
Starting point is 00:01:00 St. Vincent Hospital announced last week that 14 of its registered maternity nurses are expecting. Now, we knew that yesterday, if you're listening live, today is the 12th of May, was Mother's Day, 2025, but it was also National Nurses Week, so we had that to, I don't have that to celebrate. And congratulations to all the nurses. I'm a huge fan of nurses. No question. No one. No one supports nurses more than myself or this show.
Starting point is 00:01:38 However, let's talk about St. Vincent Hospital for a moment, shall we? 14 of their nurses are pregnant. A, congratulations. That's great. B, who's the dad? Who is the father? Is there one doctor taking care of a little nurse business? that is pretty powerful?
Starting point is 00:02:02 I don't know. They don't say. They just congratulate all these women on being pregnant. Now, there's one picture that was shared with 10 of the nurses, 10 of the 14 nurses, and there's one man in this picture. I don't know who he is. It doesn't say in any of the captions. It's just these 10 nurses and one guy.
Starting point is 00:02:24 If he's the dad, more power to him. I hope you don't have to support all 10 or 14 of them. Maybe he's just the dad of these 10 and the other four are separate. I don't know. But they're already baby experts and they work in their neonatal wing or their maternity ward. So congratulations to all of them. And they're happy that they all get to help one another with their babies. If they have actual questions that they don't already know,
Starting point is 00:02:58 their friends and colleagues can help them out. Congratulations. But 14 nurses. Now, when they did the UMass thing with 12, everybody was worried about what was in the water, what's happening, is it one man, is it one doctor? Now we have a hospital in Wisconsin with 14. Holy cow. There's some serious business going down in Green Bay, Wisconsin. And I'd like to know who the father is, just for my own personal, you know, notice. I will say this
Starting point is 00:03:30 that I think I need to apologize. I just found another picture as I'm speaking to you with these nurses. I want to apologize to the one nurse that I called a man because
Starting point is 00:03:47 the one picture has them all rowed up and you can't see. You can only see their faces and that's the one that I thought was a man. But then there's another picture of them where they're all just, you know, side by side. And that's not a man. That's a woman.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So I apologize. I apologize. There's 11 pictured and there were 14 advertised. So maybe these 11 are having babies from the same doc. I don't know. But I do apologize thinking that the one was a man. So sorry. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And congratulations. Welcome to chewing the fat. I warned you on Friday to keep your head up, keep your eye to the sky because a Soviet-era spacecraft was supposed to plunge to Earth. And they didn't know exactly when or exactly where, but they knew that it was going to come through our atmosphere. And they didn't know how much of it would survive. They figured at least a big chunk of it would survive
Starting point is 00:04:57 because it was built in 1972. to withstand a landing on Venus. So they figured, you know, a big piece of this rocket would at least survive. Well, according to the Russian Space Agency and European Union surveillance and tracking, love them, that it did come down on Saturday over the Indian Ocean. We're not quite sure where, but we just know that that's what they say. Oh, okay. Sure.
Starting point is 00:05:27 No problem. we don't know how much of it made it to the earth. We don't know anything other than what they're telling us. Yep, it burns through our atmosphere and it landed in the Indian Ocean somewhere over there. Oh, okay. So we're safe now? Yes. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So don't worry about it. Everything is fine unless you were on a fishing boat in the Indian Ocean. Then the issue is a big issue, but I don't know that. that actually happened. We also have a follow-up on the Kentucky Derby. This story really, really strange to me, and I don't know that I knew this rule actually existed. Now, we know that the winner of the Kentucky Derby, sovereignty, will skip the Preakness race, which comes up this coming weekend, and move to the Belmont Stakes on June 7th, which is the third leg of the Triple Crown. So there will be no triple ground winner this year.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Okay, so we know that. But the jockey of sovereignty was just fined $62,000. Now, the race still counts, as far as I can tell. He rode sovereignty to victory, but he's fined the $60,000. I think he made like $310,000 for his cut of the race winnings. But apparently, they reviewed the, the race and he struck the horse with his riding crop more than permitted. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yes, there's authority rules and you can only strike the horse with your riding crop so many times. Well, how many times can I do that? According to this, you can hit your horse with your riding crop six times and that's it during the race so apparently he struck sovereignty
Starting point is 00:07:34 eight times that bastard so he is in big big trouble okay he has been fined he has now
Starting point is 00:07:50 been suspended for a couple of races at the Kentucky Derby or in you know at the Churchill Downs. Now, they normally fine you 10% of your earnings, which only would have been $31,000 because he made $310,000 for riding the winning horse.
Starting point is 00:08:08 However, the fine was doubled pursuant to an escalating penalty structure for repeat riding crop violations within the previous 180 days. That bastard, all he does is whip these horses. So he was found to have struck sovereignty eight times during the Kentucky Derby, which is his second defense in 180 days.
Starting point is 00:08:29 This guy is a monster, a monster. So he was suspended for a couple of Kentucky racing days plus fine, and he can appeal the adjudication, but we'll see if that actually happens. He also has 30 days to pay the fine. So I don't know. You know, he will see the jockey Alvarado grew up in Venezuela. You know, obviously his dream was to win the Kentucky Derby.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Uh-huh. He fell off the horse, fell off a horse prior to the Kentucky Derby and injured his shoulder, but he still ran the race or rode the race in the Kentucky Derby. I just, I did not know that there's a, uh, authority rules on how many times you can use your riding crop during a race. And it's only six. So that monster, that monster of a jockey, Junior Alvarado,
Starting point is 00:09:29 was found to have used his riding crop on sovereignty eight times. I mean, he should probably never ride again. So he's not running, riding in the Preakness this weekend, but he will be at the Belmont. What happens if he strikes the horse more than six times at the Belmont? Do we take him out back behind the woodshed? I don't know. I don't know what the rules are. to the horse racing integrity and safety authority,
Starting point is 00:09:58 but that just might be. What happened to Junior Elverado? Yeah, we had to take him back behind the woodshed. He used his riding crop more than six times on that poor horse. We had to put him down. That's amazing. I did not know that rule existed. I have other questions as well.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Like, does the horse, when does it disqualify the horse winning? Does it ever? Like if I used my riding crop to smack that horse around 20 times instead of the allotted six, do I get taken out behind the woodshed and buried with my riding crop? Does the horse lose his winning race status? I don't know. I don't have the racing rule book in front of me. I never, I don't own a horse.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I've never invested in a horse. I've only cleaned up horse stalls as a kid. But it just seems weird to me. And I know, I know, poor horrors getting hit with his riding crop. I know. But it worked. And the two extra made him win the race. So who was right?
Starting point is 00:11:09 I don't know. I don't know. But obviously the jockey was wrong because he did it eight times instead of six. And that will not be tolerated. Okay. So one of the things that we've learned, learned over the few, I don't know, our lifetimes, that when you eat too much, you gain weight. I know, I know, weird.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Now, I'm going to tell you a way that you can help by, that will lose a little weight for you. And what I'm going to describe is going to sound like weight loss injections, but it's not. These are weight loss testimonials that came from a doctor formulated weight loss supplement called lean. Patty S said I've finally found weight loss a product that works. I wanted to lose 20 pounds and lean really curbs my appetite. Lori M. wrote, I've struggled to get weight off and lean has been a lifesaver. I've been losing a couple of pounds a week or more.
Starting point is 00:12:12 And Kelly F. said, amazing. I immediately noticed an energy boost and a healthy weight loss in weight. I would promote this product to anyone. Now, Lean was created by a doctor and university researcher to target the goals of GLP1s, but without the injections. The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to lower blood sugar, radically reduced appetite, and burn fat by converting it into energy. So if you're struggling to lose weight and healthy diet and exercise isn't quite enough, Lean is for you. Let's get you started with 20% off. Just use the code Jeffey 20, J-E-F-F-F-Y-V-Y-0.
Starting point is 00:12:56 At take-lean.com. Take-lean.com. That's code Jeffey-20 at take-lean.com. Again, take-lean.com. Look, results are going to vary. Statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and it's not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and it's not a substitute for care from a health care provider.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Use code Jeffey-20 at Take-L-L-L-E-L-E-L-A. lean.com. 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
Starting point is 00:13:48 backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Okay, so Google has agreed to pay nearly $1.4 billion, billion with a beat, to the state of Texas. To settle allegations of violating the data privacy rights of the state's residence.
Starting point is 00:14:10 That's according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Now, Paxton sued Google in 2022 for allegedly unlawfully tracking and collecting private data of users. Oh, okay. The Attorney General in July of 2024 obtained a $1.4 billion settlement for Texas from meta to resolve claims of unauthorized use of biometric data. belonging to Facebook and Instagram users. So we've got $1.4 billion last year from Meta.
Starting point is 00:14:41 We're going to get $1.4 billion from Google this year. Now, this show originates from DFW, which is in Texas. I would like to know when I get my cut of this $2.8 billion that is coming to the state of Texas for apparently using unauthorized biometrics. data for Facebook and Instagram of which I have accounts and for violating data
Starting point is 00:15:12 privacy rights on Google of which I use. So I'd like to know when I get my cut. It's all I want to know because I use Google frequently, not always, but frequently. At this time prior to this
Starting point is 00:15:28 year, I used it pretty much exclusively. Then Facebook and Instagram, yeah, have accounts. Hello, Jeff Fisher Radio on both Facebook and Instagram. So when do I get my cut? And it doesn't say in the story when I can expect to get my cut of the $2.8 billion. It doesn't say what we're going to do with that money, where it goes. It just says that the company did not, and according to Google, they're not admitting to any wrongdoing or liability in the settlement. I'm sure Facebook did the very same thing.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I'm sorry, meta. The deal covers allegations related to Chrome browser's incognito setting. So disclosures related to location history on the Google Maps app and the biometric claims related to Google Photo. Used all of those. I want my cut. I've lived here in the great state of Texas since 2012. And I would like my cut. So you can just get a hold of me, Ken.
Starting point is 00:16:30 and let me know what I have to do to get my cut of the $2.8 billion. Because I did see where you can now submit your claims to Apple to get a piece of the $95 million series spying settlement. If you're an Apple user, eligible Apple customers can now apply for their share of the $95 million series snooping payout. So a website has been set up to distribute the funds, allowing Apple device owners in the U.S. who experienced an unintended Siri activation
Starting point is 00:17:04 during private conversations between September 17th, 2014 and December 31st, 2004, you can submit your claim. So the payout is related to a 2019 class action lawsuit. Wow. It's only got six years before you can, it's only been six years before you can go ahead and apply for it to get your cut of the 9th.
Starting point is 00:17:28 million. And that doesn't mean, what are you going to get, 10 cents? Who knows? I mean, who knows? You know, the attorneys are, you know, making a good chunk of this. But hopefully, you know, the people will get back to the people. I know. I know. So applications are open until July 2nd of this year. Claims can be submitted for up to five Siri-enabled devices, including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod, iPod, Touch, and Apple TV, provided the, users swears under oath that the voice assistant was unintentionally activated on each device. If approved, settlement payouts, oh my gosh. Okay, so I swear, I swear, I swear, I don't use Apple, but I swear this happened to me, okay? I've heard it happen, actually, to friends of mine, where you have
Starting point is 00:18:31 unintentionally fired up Siri you can apply to get your payout from this class action lawsuit 95, what did I say? What did I say? With 95 million? Yeah, 95 million.
Starting point is 00:18:47 All right. So if you apply and maybe you used all of these devices, if approved, settlement payouts are capped at $20 per device. Stop it. What are we even doing?
Starting point is 00:19:03 I mean, it's 20 bucks you didn't have. You know that Apple made so much more money off of you and Siri than 20 bucks. And okay, let's say you used it on what, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, there's 60. Mac, HomePod, iPod, touch, there's 120. And Apple TV, there's 140. That's all you're getting. Have a nice day. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:19:26 God bless. I wonder if the attorney fees. were blocked at $20 or capped at $20. I wonder if that happened. That's kind of sad. But hey, get your cut. Get your cut now. You've got until July of this year.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I believe I said July 2nd and you can apply for your claim against this class action lawsuit. Wow. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. A couple of stories from Europe, one from Germany. I guess it's now okay in Germany that women can now swim topless in public pools.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I'm not sure when exactly this took effect, but I do know that it is now in effect. They have made, Berlin is very, very happy, and they've made the progressive move by officially allowing women to go topless at public swimming pools, aligning dress code regulations equally across all. genders good uh the change followed a complaint by a woman who was asked to cover up while men swam shirtless prompting intervention from the city's anti-discrimination office okay so this is just berlin not the entire country got it uh the but it'll be the entire country soon so just know you can go to berlin and swim topless to your little heart's content because boy i wouldn't want women to cover themselves up and i don't want i mean i want men to cover themselves up too. I'm not opposed to that either. But good, you can do that. And look, if you want to
Starting point is 00:21:10 swim naked, you go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead and swim naked. Then we have the story out of France that I actually, I believe I lo-led at this. According to this, France is accelerating plans to field a robot army aiming to have advanced ground robotic systems supporting its forces by 2028 and fully integrated by 2040. so they can have their robots give up? Come on now. So, yeah, good for the French Army. I guess they've tested unmanned systems with legs, wheels, and treads, navigating obstacle courses designed to mimic battlefield conditions.
Starting point is 00:21:51 I hope they could go backwards because that's what the French Army will do. Oh, we just stopped. It's been a long time joke forever. You know it has. But you think they're not the only military that's doing that. We are doing that. and we broke down all the robots that are being made around the globe
Starting point is 00:22:08 and which ones looked like were for military and the other ones were for cleaning my house. And so be ready. I mean, if you walked out of your house this morning and there were, I don't know, a thousand robot soldiers saying, you know, I go back into your home,
Starting point is 00:22:28 what would you do? That's a good question, because I know what I would do to go back in my home. And I don't, uh, I don't, want that to happen but that may be coming soon and then this weekend speaking of europe so this weekend we had the prime minister of the great britain the uk we had the chancellor of germany and we had
Starting point is 00:22:48 the president of france all together in this train car they were traveling somewhere who knows where they were traveling okay they're in the train and uh they come into the room and the press shows up and it looks like Macron, Mr. France, Mr. France, swipes up a bag of cocaine, and Mr. Chancellor of Germany picks up and just kind of holds in his hands a quick Coke spoon. It is awesome footage because I will tell you, if you follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR,
Starting point is 00:23:27 I posted the video there, and they, they all think they're slick. Do I believe that it's a bag of cocaine? I don't know what to believe. It looks like a tissue. There's been some up close, freeze framed shots of it.
Starting point is 00:23:39 It looks kind of like a tissue. The Coke spoon kind of looks like a stir, but I don't know why you would need a stir for the water you're drinking there at the table. I just, I don't know. Do I like thinking that it's a bag of cocaine and a spoon? You betcha.
Starting point is 00:23:59 And they all look so nervous. And Macron looks so slick like he's getting away with something, which really leads me to believe that it's cocaine. That's all. Just they all look kind of, I don't know, just off. And I've been around enough tables in my life where cocaine has been available. And I know what people look like when they're trying to keep everything kind of on the down low, but everybody else knows what's going on. It's just, you know, like when your parents walk in.
Starting point is 00:24:30 or, you know, a friend walks in and hasn't been part of the party. And then there you guys are with your bag of cocaine and your spoon. So you've got to keep it on the down low. It's just so weird the way they look. So let's just say that, okay, I believe that it was just a tissue and a, you know, a drink stir. But I really, I really want to believe that it's a bag of cocaine. and a Coke spoon. And so I don't know which way I'm going to lean right now
Starting point is 00:25:05 because they all look so creepy and cheesy slick. You know, cheesy slick. And I just, I know that look and it irks me. So it's cocaine in a spoon. I've decided. And when we found cocaine at the White House, was any of these three dangleberries in the neighborhood at the time? I don't recall.
Starting point is 00:25:29 We could go back and find out there. but we never did say whose cocaine it was, where it came from at the White House. And so it wouldn't surprise me if one of these dingleberries had been at the White House a couple days and it was theirs. I know it was a side entrance, right? It was, that's a special interest there at the White House.
Starting point is 00:25:46 But it wouldn't surprise me. Not one bit. Everyone wanted to believe that it was hunters or that it was Joe Biden. Hell, it could have been these dinkleberries too. Just terrible. If it's cocaine, terrible. All these people want to be treated
Starting point is 00:26:00 like they're on top of and above us and looking down upon us in there and just the regular everyday dopes. That's all of them. So I mentioned my ex account at Jeffrey JFR.

David Suter, former Supreme Court Justice, passed away at the age of 85. He died at his home in New Hampshire, and there was no cause cited for his death at 85. He was an interesting dude.
Starting point is 00:29:42 An interesting cat. Kind of a strange dude. He hated the notoriety, the publicity. He just wanted to be at his home and read books. And so when he retired, which was weird of his self, you know, he had made his money, enough money anyway, and he just wanted to go back home and read his books. He loved his history books.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Okay. No problem. So he, you know, retired. Oh, okay. When they introduced him to become a Supreme Court justice, he was introduced as someone who would interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the federal bench. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:30:31 You don't get those days back. So when he was in front of the judiciary committee, he politely but firmly declined to take positions. on abortion and other areas on which he had not ruled. Wow. Just amazing. I mean, he went to Harvard. He went to the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar,
Starting point is 00:30:56 came back, went to Harvard Law School. I mean, incredible life. And then he talked about his father was an assistant bank manager and his mother was a store clerk. His great-great-grandfather had played a role in securing Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's presidential nomination and other relatives had worked in the Underground Railroad. Justice Souter's family left Massachusetts at 1950 for the farmhouse in Weir, which is where he just wanted to go and read his history books.
Starting point is 00:31:25 That's all he cared about. The court, but he's a Supreme Court? Yeah, we're doing that now, but I just want to get back home. I don't want to go on tours and write a bunch of books. I want to read about history. Oh, okay. No problem. So anyway, rest in peace to Justice Soter.
Starting point is 00:31:41 dead at the age of 85. Then we have a pro wrestling legend. And I say that because that's what the headline says, but okay, if you say he's a legend, hardcore pro wrestling legend, Sabu, dead at the age of 60. So I guess he was part of the AEW and the WWE. From barbed wire battles to unforgettable high-risk moments,
Starting point is 00:32:10 Sabu, gave everything to. professional wrestling. Okay. I guess he had complete... Oh, he just finished and retired. Oh, at WrestleMania. He was at WrestleMania. Wow. I mean, that just happened. So, he did not
Starting point is 00:32:25 last long after retirement. Shouldn't have retired. Anyway, rest of peace to Sabu, dead at the age of 60. His uncle was the sheik. Remember the chic? Those are the flying Fred

Then, according to this headline, beloved actor Eric Ruse, dead at the age of. Roos dead at the age of 62. So I scrolled down because I thought he was going to be one of these actors that I would go, oh yeah, Eric Roos. Well, now that I've seen a picture of him, I know who he is. I don't.
Starting point is 00:33:54 See, he's an Estonian actor. According to headlines, he's beloved. So, okay. I mean, I didn't want him to die. He's an Estonian actor died in April, had passed away at the age of 62, one day shy of his 63rd birthday. According to this, he built a diverse career, spanning television stage in the 80s and the 2010s.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Okay, sure. He was part... Sure. Rest and peace. To Eric Ruse. Beloved actor, Eric Ruse, dead at the age of 62. So I watched a series this weekend. I think it was on Prime.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I don't remember, but it was called The Cleaner. I think it's actually called Dark City, the cleaner. And it's on prime. There's got six episodes. I blasted through them. I thought, okay, it's about a serial killer. I'm going to watch it. And it's about this guy who works at the police department.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And he goes, he's an unknown guy, unremarkable, the cleaner at the police station. But then at night, he's a serial killer. And so it's in New Zealand. It's in Christchurch, New Zealand. And so I watched it. And I guess it came out last year. I wasn't aware of it, but now that it's available, all available, I think it was on Prime.
Starting point is 00:35:16 I don't remember where I saw it because on the weekends, I've got your friends and neighbors on Apple, and then I've got Mob Land on Paramount Plus. And now I'm back to Criminal Minds. They're 18th season on Paramount Plus, which is only once a week. Give me a break with the once a week thing. Just let me watch them, please.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And so, and I've got hacks. So, you know, okay, let's just, I mean, I've got so many things going on right now, okay? But, so I made it through the six episodes of Dark City the Cleaner. Just blasted through him. And it was okay. It was all right. I mean, I liked the premise of it.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I like the, you know, it's funny. It's a couple of other serial killers involved. There's another girl that, you know, has been following him that's, and they do some killing together. That's interesting. It's really, there's one person that I thought was going to turn into a serial killer did not, which was kind of surprising to me. But anyway, it's based on this book from author Paul Cleave, a 2006 novel called The Cleaner.
Starting point is 00:36:22 And in fact, he helped write the show as well. So, you know, it's worth a watch if you don't have anything else to do. If you do have something else to do, just put it in your favorites and get back to it. Okay? Okay. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

So this may or may not happen. I see the headline, Football coaching legend Nick Saban tapped to co-chair presidential commission
Starting point is 00:37:28 on college athletics, examining a range of issues including college athlete payment structures. Yeah, that should happen, and that needs to happen. I mean, Pat McAfee has been calling this for this a long time, and I agree with him.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Nick Saban should be in charge of this and make it happen. So it's being rumored that President Trump is going to set up this commission with Sabin at the top, and he will oversee this landmark college football commission, and we're going to take a look at what's happening with college sports. So then, as you read the story,
Starting point is 00:38:08 it talks about the reason this story broke was because people spoke under the condition of anonymity, and they were not authorized to speak about Trump's plan, many college sports stakeholders have been briefed on the matter. It's unclear when an announcement could come. And I haven't seen much about it since. So I want it to happen. Trump's got a few other things on his plate.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I mean, there's a couple multiple wars that he's trying to end on this planet. And there's a few other business deals pending that he has to take care of. So I know he's busy, but this needs to happen. and we need to get college football rectified. And if that means starting a commission and putting Nick Saban in charge, so be it. Speaking to college football, I thought the rumors were
Starting point is 00:38:54 that Bill Belichick and hot girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, were done. At least I heard there were rumors that she was told, get out from the campus. They didn't want her wandering around the campus anymore because she didn't work for the university and she didn't work specifically for the football team.
Starting point is 00:39:13 So she was just Bill's girlfriend that was there as the sidekick. So the rumors were that they told her, take a hike. Well, then this weekend, I see where she lost the main miscogeneality. Disappointingly, of course. She was second runner up. That would be third place to you and me. And Bill was there along with Jennifer's dad,
Starting point is 00:39:38 who is like, I don't know how old Jennifer's dad is, like 40. So he's way younger than Bill as well. And so they were photographed at the event. They were photographed leaving the event. She apparently was sad. And I don't blame her. Nobody wants to lose a beauty contest or lose it anything, right? And so she was, did she win this at any time?
Starting point is 00:40:04 I don't think she did. Okay, so she missed out on the miscongeniality title ahead of the semifinals, but she made it through after winning the style. Award. Shelby Powell of Bangor, congratulations to Shelby, who won the contest and will represent Maine at the Miss USA contest. I mean, I'm kind of happy she lost. I didn't want to have Bill Belichick at the Miss USA contest, this 73-year-old guy looking at his 24-year-old girlfriend, Bill. Somebody's got to help. I know. We've talked about this before. I get it. I get it. You do you, boo. But you, Bill are really hurting
Starting point is 00:40:45 your reputation by flaunting this in front of everyone. And I know you say you don't care, but maybe you should a little. Alright, let's get out of here. A joke of the day. I was saying I saw Willie had submitted a couple of jokes.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Keep trying. I appreciate the effort. And then I got an email from Sean that really wasn't a joke, but it was actually really came through with a strong point. He and his email said the other day, my four-year-old daughter was playing in her kitchen. She looks at me and says, Dad, I need an apron. I can't be someone's wife without an apron. I said, you're right. We better grab that. Yes. Hello. Duh. Raise the women properly. That's what
Starting point is 00:41:39 needs to happen. Good job, Sean. And then. Then the joke of the day, I guess, will be from Patrick's. Thank you for sending it in. A man walks into the bar and yells out, All lawyers are assholes. And a guy sitting at the bar replies, I object to that statement. And the man responds,
Starting point is 00:41:59 what are you a lawyer? The guy says, no, but I'm an asshole. Yeah, hello. Welcome to it. Me too. I remember I could tell you a few stories that bring back a lot of memories of friends, girlfriends,
Starting point is 00:42:13 calling me that word, you know. And boy, I barely got through the next beer. All right, that's it. Be safe. Thanks for listening. And we'll see you.
