That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Showcasing the beauty and confidence that transcends age. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:00:30 to Alejandra Marissa Rodriguez, a lawyer, a journalist, hailing from La Plata, Argentina, and is 60 years old, winning Miss Universe Buenas Aires, 2024. Congratulations, and man, the Miss Universe pageant, well, actually it's the Miss Universe organization, removed the upper age limit in 2023. And that's when beautiful 60-year-old Alejandro Marissa Rodriguez stepped in and said, hey, how about me? I'm hot at 60. And she kind of is.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I mean, so congratulations are in order to Alejandra, the 60-year-old lawyer and journalist, winning Miss Universe of Buenos Aires 2024. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. How angry would you be if you were all ready to get on your flight
Starting point is 00:01:47 from Dallas-Fort Worth International and fly to Tokyo, Japan? And then you find out, oh, you're aware, this flight is canceled. The pilot was too drunk And we're not going to go ahead And make that flight today Wait, what? Can't we get a replacement?
Starting point is 00:02:06 Yeah, no, it's too late to get a replacement So why don't you just go ahead and exit the plane And don't whine, don't complain Because we can't do anything about it The pilot was too drunk, okay? It was too partying. So I don't know that he was actually Completely drunk at the flight time
Starting point is 00:02:25 but the 49-year-old captain engaged in disruptive behavior while drunk at his hotel in Dallas. I guess he started out having dinner with crew members and then returned to the hotel and started partying. I don't know if he was partying with the crew members. I don't know if it was a whole, you know, crew night party or if he went back to the hotel room and started thinking about a little business,
Starting point is 00:02:49 having a little something something, you know, shipped in. But they partied all night. In fact, there was a report that said the hotel staff went up and told him to knock it off. That is awesome. That is awesome. And so then that was the next morning, it was like, yeah, we're going to go ahead and cancel that flight. There's no way you could make that 11.05 a.m. departure. So you 157 passengers?
Starting point is 00:03:21 Yeah, go ahead. You're not making it to Tokyo today. Have a nice day. I would be so mad. I mean, at least give it a shot. Remember the movie, the documentary, with Danzel Washington flight. I mean, at least give it a flight.
Starting point is 00:03:40 He could fly high and drunk better than anybody else in the whole world. Maybe that's what this guy is. Maybe this is the guy the movie was based after. I don't know. Plus, once he gets in the air, it's all autopilot anyway right so he could pass out from Dallas Fort Worth to Tokyo
Starting point is 00:04:00 you can get some good sleep time in on that man once you get up to up to the correct altitude you're good it's going to an autopilot you can lock that door nobody can come in the cabin mind if I take a
Starting point is 00:04:16 and you're good so do you want that though yes I don't want to have to wait Dallas any longer. Okay. All right. Well, just no, I think everyone's taken care of now. If you're still at the airport wondering, I don't know what happened, you ought to ask somebody. So if you're one of those homeowners who's trying to buy or sell a home or both, you've probably discovered by now that you've got a major undertaking on your hands. Almost nothing about getting a house ready to put on the market is easy. If you're going to do it the right way.
Starting point is 00:04:53 and negotiating a sale when you're wanting to buy, it's not as straightforward as it sounds. You're going to want the best real estate agent you can get. And that comes by going to real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust.com. It's a company that Glenn started a number of years ago because he had such a terrible, terrible time trying to sell a home and dealing with real estate agents.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And he figured, you know, he wasn't the only one. And so he started real estate agents, I trust. They pair you with the top sellers in your area, people who really know the ropes of the business because they do it full time. And they care about getting it right. It's not just your cousin's friend who decided that he's going to take a day off
Starting point is 00:05:44 from hitting the bong and trying to sell a house. Right? As someone that's doing it full time. Okay, they care about getting it right. All the hassle that comes with trying to buy and sell a home, get the help that you really need. Real estate agents I trust. You know, I don't know if you know this,
Starting point is 00:06:04 but the name, real estate agents I trust, I mean, it kind of, kind of says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. All right. Boarding from flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time.

Starting point is 00:07:03 So we found out that the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which probably won't be the Francis Scott Key Bridge because it really isn't the Francis Scott Key Bridge anymore is going to be rebuilt in just over four years with an estimated cost of $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. That's what the state transportation officials said. And the state plans to build a new span by the fall of 2008. Okay, he said the cost estimate is preliminary, which means it's going to be a lot more than that. The salvage efforts are still going on.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I mean, it feels like that it collapsed a million years ago. But it was March 26. A million years ago. And so, I mean, they're still pulling stuff out of the water. What are we doing
Starting point is 00:07:57 out of the harbor? So, I mean, they haven't even found all the bodies yet of the workers that were on the bridge. They found a fifth one. Yesterday, I believe, they found the fifth victim, so they still have one more to go that they have not found. And the boat is still lodged.
Starting point is 00:08:18 They have not moved that. I guess we're planning on getting that free next couple days, and we're going to get it out of there. Because when they get that out of there, like they're going to have, they've got these cranes, they've been lifting the stuff out of there, and they have been working at it. They have been working at it.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And it takes a long time. I know. It takes a while. It doesn't just, you're just not going in there and removing tons of salvage. I got it. But they're going to have, there's going to be some demolition to blow up some of the bigger parts so that they can remove it as smaller parts. That's how that whole demolition thing works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:00 So, anyway, they, you know, the fifth guy they found in the truck. so they're still looking for the six guys. So we've got one more human that we have to find. They were all Latino immigrants who came to the United States from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. We'll just assume that they were legal for the purposes of this conversation.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It doesn't mean anything, Jeff. Okay, the accident and it was horrible. They lost their lives and their family. I know, I know. but it does. Nah, never mind. For the purposes of this conversation, they were legal.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Meanwhile, the broker of the bridge's insurance policy confirmed that a $350 million payout is going to be made to the state of Maryland, and that's going to be the first of many payouts related to the collapse. Chubb, the insurance company that insured the bridge, is preparing to make that $350 million payout. So we'll see how that goes.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Okay, now they have was like a hundred and four, 50 million liability policy on the first tier. Plus you've got the shipping company with their problems. So we'll see it's going to be an expensive project. And it's going to be a very long, tedious project. So we'll see. I'm okay. I know the government, Biden already sent him some money.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And we just have to be careful that it's not going to be deep pocketed by Maryland officials. Oh, I make my sound. It makes me laugh. That makes me laugh. It makes me laugh. The hundreds of millions of dollars are being shipped to the state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore. And it'll all be accounted for.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Every penny. Don't you worry your sweet little heart about that. So the ship has been stationary still. And they guess they're going to remove the ship soon. They expected to have it removed by the tent. Okay, so seven days. Nice. And that, when they finally are able to move the ship,
Starting point is 00:11:10 then I think that opens up the harbor to start having some traffic through there. So salvage and demolition crew has been working around the clock to clear this wreckage. I hope that's true. So the ship will be refloated and guided back to the port of Baltimore, which will then allow most maritime traffic to resume through that east coast port. which is what we need. Holy cow. I mean, we need that desperately.
Starting point is 00:11:37 That doesn't mean that all the stuff is going to get delivered because a lot of that stuff, the reason they built the bridge is because they didn't want the hazardous materials going through the tunnel from the port, through whatever. I digress. They will, I said it when it first happened,
Starting point is 00:11:53 and I still stand by this. They're going to override that saying, ah, you're fine. That hazardous material. I know we should probably be shipping that. We should have already worked up plans for all that hazardous material to go to another port on the East Coast because I don't know, there's other places that have actual shipping ports
Starting point is 00:12:11 that could hold that stuff. So I hope that they've already got that taken care of. Oh, I know it's a cute thought. But they're probably going to say, oh, go ahead. You know, just until we get the bridge built in the next two, four, six years. Go ahead. That hazardous material could go through the tunnel. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I don't want that to happen, but. I bet they're going to do that. Now, I talked about the controlled demolition. That's going to break down the largest remaining span. Send that into the water. And then the hydraulic grabber, which is, I guess, the biggest one in the world is pulling up those barges. I'm sorry, it's the largest in the country. So there's a larger hydraulic grabber somewhere?
Starting point is 00:12:58 All right. All right, good. That's the largest one in the country. And they also have the giant Chesapeake 1000, one of the largest cranes on the eastern seaboard. So we've got that going for us, and we're looking forward to that. So it's in the works.
Starting point is 00:13:21 It's in the works. Now, they claim that they can have Francis Scott Keybridge. Again, they're going to rename that. That's not going to be the Francis Scott Keybridge. I promise you that. In just over four years, and they've estimated at 1.7 to 1.9 billion. I'd like to say that they announced that yesterday,
Starting point is 00:13:44 the 2nd of May, 2024. 1.7 billion, 1.9 million. I'm not sure what the over or under is before that gets revised to, well, we looked back into it, and we were looking at getting this thing done. And it was four years is still good. We can do it in four years. we've got it up to about
Starting point is 00:14:02 2.5 to 3.5 billion right now. That'll be the first revision. And then by the time we get to the third revision, you're up to 5 billion. But we're going to try to get this thing done
Starting point is 00:14:17 in three and a half years. We're going to try to move it up. We're going to try to move it up six months, but it's going to cost, you know, $5 billion to make that happen. And then those are that. I'll stop my predictions there
Starting point is 00:14:29 because I want the bridge built. My full prediction would be, it's not going to be built in four years, and it's going to be a lot more than $6 million. But that's the negative me, and I don't want to be the negative me. All right, let's go to the break room. You know me. I'm Mr. Positive.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I don't want to be negative. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Good news for the TikTokers. I know. after pulling the impressive roster of artists off the platform way back in February because of a licensing dispute that everybody wants more money and protection from AI dupes and online safety UMG
Starting point is 00:15:24 has reached a new deal with TikTok that will bring the music back. So yay! terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but UMG said that it would bring significant industry leading benefits to its musicians. So good news, good news for all of you TikTokers out there. I keep meaning to get a TikTok channel and I just don't. But you can follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. My YouTube channel is Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And you can order a cameo from me, which obviously is not free. It's the way cameo works at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. Just let me know. You want me to be happy, glad, sad, bad, mean? What kind of thing you want me to wish a certain person if you're giving it as a gift?
Starting point is 00:16:30 And I'll do it. That's the way I work. I'm Cali's Camio's trained monkey. Well, actually, I'm your trained monkey, and you're just telling cameo what you want the monkey to do. And the monkey does it. That's the way it works. All right, we at the Kentucky Derby this weekend.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Coming up on Saturday. I mean, Saturday's also made the fourth be with you, right? Star Wars Day. And you can find blue milk around some places, which is, you know, great. Speaking of Blue, milk. They didn't say anything about blue milk being bird flu milk. But if you want to feel good about bird flu, if you want to feel good about not being infected by bird flu in your milk or in your meat, I want you to listen to the answer from Corrine Jean-Pierre, who is the
Starting point is 00:17:32 spokesperson for the White House and for this administration in America. She will make you feel, I mean, so good. You got nothing to worry about. So she's asked what her current assessment of the risk to the U.S. milk and meat supply from the bird flu epidemic in cattle. And I'm sure, you know, I expected her to parrot what the experts were saying that it's slow. We're investigating it. Most of the properties that we find in the pasteurized milk is already dead.
Starting point is 00:18:18 So we don't believe there's any harm to any people. That's what I expected. But then I remembered it's Karin Jean-Pierre, who is, what's the word I'm looking for? What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yeah, stupid. And so I'll give you her answer to that question about the risk to the U.S. milk and meat supply from the bird flu epidemic in cattle. Yeah, so I know that the Department of Agriculture has been on top of this.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I know that they are not seeing any concerns to milk or. or any of the cattle or the meat or meat that we're consuming. Wine will consume meat, but some of you all are there. Oh, okay. And so obviously they are taking this very seriously. They're monitoring the situation. As far as we understand it to be, is that they believe that milk and consuming meat is safe.
Starting point is 00:19:22 So how good do you feel now? I mean, you should feel really, really good. Anyway, I digress. The Kentucky Derby is this week. I think that's what got me started on the bird. Oh, it was the blue milk that sent me down the road to a bird flu. So the Kentucky Derby, all I can think of, too, since it's been the Kentucky Derby weekend, is the movie Secretariat. I was even playing the final clip, you know, the final race for the Triple Crown from Secretariat.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I'll be watching it this weekend. Great movie. Anyway, it's going to take place, obviously, at Churchill down. That's where it takes place every day, Jeff. It's the hundred or every year. It's the 150th running. I know we talk about that. But this year, the purse is going to be, it's a record purse,
Starting point is 00:20:13 $5 million for the winner. Well, they have a $5 million purse. So you get $3.1 million for the winner, one million for the second place. 500,000 for the third place. Boy, that seems chimsy. Man, third place, you are nothing. Have a nice.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Third place, 500 grand. I bet you that horse has eaten more than $500,000 worth of food in the last three months. That's a peanuts, man. But, okay, good luck. Congratulations. Good luck. And we have Tom Brady's roast this weekend.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Netflix live, the big Tom Brady, the greatest roast of all time with Tom Brady. And they kept telling me that all, you know, all those stars are going to be out for this. But the people are going to show up. It's a secret. Well, it's not really a secret because we know Kevin Hart is going to host it. And then Jeff Ross is going to be involved, which they claim is the, you know, the roast master. I'm sorry, the roast master general for his perpetual presence at all the major roasting events from Comedy Central Roast Series to the New York Friars Club. So we've got that to look forward to.
Starting point is 00:21:37 But we're talking about Burke Kreischer, Tom Seguer, Nikki Glazer, Andrew Schultz, Tony Heincliffe, Sam Jay. Those are the comedians that are selected to tear Brady to shreds. Okay. I couldn't tell you a bit from those comedians, but I'm sure they're funny. I'll give them that. And then Randy Moss, Julian Edelman, Drew Bledgesso, Rob Grankowski's going to be there. I mean, I hope the Peyton Manning's going to be there, but who knows, it's going to air a live on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I'm sorry, streamed live on Netflix, 8 p.m. Eastern. So then I'm even going to have to, if you miss it, I don't know how long before it gets posted that you could go back and watch it. But if you miss it live, well, then you miss it. And we have more layoffs. I mean, we have Peloton laying off. They haven't shut that place down yet.
Starting point is 00:22:35 They're laying off 15% more of employees and the CEO is stepping down. So what is happening over at Peloton? I'm surprised that they have not shut that place down. Then we got news that Google is laying off hundreds of core. employees and move some of those positions to India and Mexico. Now, the core unit is responsible for building the technical foundation behind the company's flagship products and for protecting users online safety. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Interesting that they're tightening up on that particular part of the company. Isn't it? Isn't it? Why, yes, Jeff. Yes, yes, it is. Okay. And I will say this as well That I'm a little surprised at
Starting point is 00:23:26 And I don't know that I believe it All right Maybe it's just because I don't want to believe it All right LinkedIn All right So we talk about my ex account At Jeffrey JFR
Starting point is 00:23:39 You know Facebook and Instagram Are the Staples Jeff Fisher Radio LinkedIn I consider a social platform as well Now I am on LinkedIn I don't go there often enough Often enough, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I don't go there often enough. However, according to this, the company brought in $119 million in mobile app revenue during the first quarter of 2024. Now, I will go on record as saying I don't have the LinkedIn mobile app on my phone. And if it's free, I may have to download it. If it's free.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I don't know that it is. In fact, I should probably find out. but that if they've actually brought in $119 million in mobile app revenue during the first quarter, that's more than X and Snapchat combined according to this app figures. Which now that I read it, because they're specifically talking about
Starting point is 00:24:41 the mobile app revenue. They're not talking about the entire social platform revenue. So I guess maybe I do believe it. I want to know if. the app is free though. So according to source, source, it is, and it's free,
Starting point is 00:25:02 just download it on the middle. I'll have to take a look at that maybe this weekend and see if I want to play around with the LinkedIn mobile app and add that to my, well, apps. You know, I'm surprised that... It's hockey season, and you can get anything

This carbon removal fund that, you know, They said that the members were included meta and alphabet.
Starting point is 00:26:10 But the Frontier, the Carbon Removal Fund, I'm surprised that the Royals are not involved in that. They very well may be. I don't have a list of who is involved in the Frontier Carbon Removal Fund. But I see there's a couple of royal stories. No, I don't want the Royals music. I don't need any of that. And I know Chris Cruz isn't here.
Starting point is 00:26:33 So I just want to tell you, I'm fascinated. I'd like to know, where's Kate? Where's Princess Kate? Okay. I have a quote. Maybe she's sick getting chemo, getting rid of the cancer. I get it.
Starting point is 00:26:47 We haven't seen her. We saw a birthday picture of her daughter, and they posted an anniversary picture of her where they were getting married. And nothing new, though. And William is back doing his chores. his royal duties, and he was out, you know, glad-handed, being the prince, soon to be king, because dad won't die yet.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And he was asked, you know, how are you doing? And he says, now this is how we know that they're trying to portray this as well. We know how Kate's doing now. We know how she's doing. He answered, we're all doing well. Thank you. And then the fan, there were two. fans, two ladies draped in the Captain Jack Flag, so you know that's who he talks to.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And after the one lady, the original question, the one lady said, do you mind if I ask you how your wife and children are? And one woman asked him in if, in footage share, oh, I can see she was just talking about Instagram BS. So she just actually asked him, how are you and the wife and your children. And he said, we're all doing well. Thank you. Now then the other lady says, and obviously Catherine.
Starting point is 00:28:14 And this is where we find out how Catherine is doing right here, okay? And obviously Catherine, we're all doing well. So, nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about. It's all good. Am I right?
Starting point is 00:28:30 I'm right. And then we find out that Harry, is coming back to London, coming back to the UK, next week. And just like he did when he zipped in and zipped out when he wanted to see Dad with cancer,
Starting point is 00:28:46 dad had very, I mean, he was there for, I don't know, 10 minutes, and then dad left, Camilla left. Yeah, she left. And they, they just, he was there for like 10 minutes, and he went back to the hotel.
Starting point is 00:28:59 So now he's got to be in the UK for his, I think, Invictus game. or some BS that he's showing up for. And, yeah, he's there for the anniversary of the Invictus Games. And he's staying at the same hotel because the king, you know, his father, I'm too busy. I just can't find time for Harry.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Do I want to see him? Yes. But I just don't have time. But you're just hanging out. You have cancer? You just kind of, yeah, no, I'm too busy. I can't see him. what about Camilla?
Starting point is 00:29:36 Well, she definitely is too busy because she hates Harry and Harry hates her. So that's not happening. And William, I know he's out, you know, everybody's doing all well with William. Can he see Harry? He's too busy. It's just too busy.
Starting point is 00:29:54 What about Kate? I mean, she's recuperating and, you know, recovering from cancer and cancer treatments? Yeah. No, we don't have time for Harry. You just have to stay. at the hotel and then whenever you're whenever you leave
Starting point is 00:30:06 buy big news in the animal kingdom too for the first time apparently we've observed a wild animal an orangutanang applying a potent medicinal plant directly
Starting point is 00:30:22 to a wound now I have a feeling that these orangutans have been doing this for I don't know ever but this is the first time that we've seen it. So I guess we've documented some great
Starting point is 00:30:37 apes foraging for medicines in the forest to heal themselves, but we hadn't seen an animal treat itself in this way. Interesting. So they observed this orangutan pluck and chew up
Starting point is 00:30:53 leaves of a medicinal plant used by people throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. The adult male orangutan then used his fingers to apply the plant juices to an injury on the right cheek. And while he was doing that, he was talking about, Now afterward, he pressed and chewed the plant to cover the open wound
Starting point is 00:31:26 like a makeshift bandage, and that's when he sounded like... So apparently it hurt. I don't know because to me, if you had already applied the juice and goo on your wound and then you pat it up the leaves to cover the wound, that's when you would make that sound. Yeah, you know it hurt. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ,

Starting point is 00:34:16 So you have an opportunity to get a little bit closer to Hubby today. All right. And, you know, just like, just like, just like, like America, I'm rooting for you. Okay? Awesome. So, you ready to play? Yep. All right. Four headlines. One not real. What's the lie? Headline number one. A startup hoping to bring back landlines has no employees who have ever used a landline. Headline number two. A little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000
Starting point is 00:34:47 bees. Headline number three, Wally, the emotional support alligator. stolen during a trip to Georgia released into the swamp. Headline number four, the mysterious dark energy that permeates the universe is slowly eroding. Those are your four headlines. What is the lie? Headline number one,
Starting point is 00:35:12 a startup hoping to bring back landlines has no employees who have used a landline. Headline number two, a little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000 bees. Headline number three, Wally, the emotional support alligator, stolen during a trip to Georgia, released into the swamp. Headline number four, the mysterious dark energy that permeates the universe is slowly eroding. Those are your four headlines.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Karen, what is the lie? Okay. Well, I do, me and my hubby have bees, so I know how they act, and they sometimes end up in people's houses. So I think that little girl probably did have bees in her ceiling. Okay. We have to get back to that. I want to talk about you at the bees. Don't let me forget about that.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Go ahead. All right. The landline company thing where none of the kids know about landlines, I'm a little, I'm going to say that's a no, too, just because just where I live, a lot of people had landlines for a long time, and kids know what those are and have used them, at least the kids that I know. And I'm thinking the startup would have the kids that would be the same age,
Starting point is 00:36:34 my kids are. So I'm going to say that's a no as well. So you're saying the lie is? No, no, I'm saying that's true. Okay, all right. These are true and the landline is true. All right. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Yeah. Yeah, no, wait a minute. Nothing but time for you, Karen. Nothing but time here on what's the lie. I got to start putting a stopwatch or something on it. The company said they didn't have any employees that had used the landline. Correct. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Well, you know, the dark energy slowly eroding is probably due to climate change, so I'm going to say that's okay. So that's okay? You hate the earth. Okay. You know, one's a lie. So that's, I'm confused now. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:34 You just have to, we need a stopwatch or something. I mean, this has got a, I got to come up with some new rules or something. I don't think anybody would steal an alligator. Okay. That alligator thing sounds bogus. That sounds the most focus of all the, all of them here. Okay. So you're going to finally choose one?
Starting point is 00:37:53 I think so. Okay. So you're going to go with the stolen alligator? I mean, why would somebody steal an alligator from somebody traveling somewhere in Georgia? That just doesn't line up with it.
Starting point is 00:38:06 One would think that, wouldn't they? Yeah, that's what I would think. Yeah, but that would be incorrect. Oh, no. I know. Sorry. Darn it! I wanted you to win too.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Gosh, darn it. Well, thanks for playing and listening. to What's the Lie? What's the Lie? It's a subsidiary of chewing the fat enterprises. All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMXXIV. So you guys have bees, huh?
Starting point is 00:38:48 I think he told me yesterday he had 21 hives on our property. Oh, wow. Yeah. He's actually the beekeeper and I'm the honey pusher. Nice. Nice. Do you guys have a lot or? Of honey?
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah. Not right now. We sold it all. I just was at a show. Don't you save it? I thought honey is good forever, right? You just put it in the. Well, it is.
Starting point is 00:39:11 But, you know, when you have a lot, you kind of want to sell it since it was ready to be sold. Since that's what we're doing it for, Jeff. Right, right. Well, we have 21. We had 40 gallons. last year. Oh, wow. That we extracted in the spring.
Starting point is 00:39:27 That's awesome. It was insane, the amount of we had, yeah. So. I love honey. My wife is now allergic to it, so I can't have it in the home anymore. Oh, no. I don't know, but it's possible. And I don't like it at all.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Oh, I know. I was going to say I'll send you some, but. I know. I would love the wheel and deal with you. So I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your train of thought with the bees. Have you decided what you think the lie is now? I know the bees are true. I guess it has to be the landline one.
Starting point is 00:40:02 You would be correct. The landline one is correct. I just messed that one all up. Well, shoot. I will say, congratulations. You won, you won one. And, you know, you battled strong in the second showing. So.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I'm embarrassed myself in front of everybody. No, no, that is not true. That is not true. Not everyone, just us. Can I say hi to my husband who's in Chicago this weekend? This is what we're here for. What if I said no? Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:40:39 We'll all say hi. Go ahead. Hey, Terry. I hope you had a nice trip. Oh, Terry, we love you. So does Karen. You have a safe trip. And get the hell out of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:40:53 What are you doing there? All right. Karen, thank you very much. I appreciate you playing and listening to Chewing the Fat. I was going forward to talking to y'all next week. I know. Well, we can gole. We can't play.
