Klarna plan buy now pay later always always the best option isn't it welcome welcome to tune the fact you know we're joking around about DoorDash and buy now

pay later but then I see a story that talks about how snack time is becoming too expensive and according to general Mills the growing number of Americans said, well, you know, my sales are down. It's 5% globally.

Wow. And 7% in North America. I mean, that's a lot for them. And according to this story, J.M. Smucker, owner of hostess and Jiff, and Campbell's, owner of Pepperidge Farm, also logged 2% and 3% net sales. So way down.

Fidelay owner PepsiCo reported third straight quarterly revenue miss. Sales volume for the U.S. convenience stores fell 4.3% at the end of February. They talk about how the average 16 ounce bag of potato chips has gotten 29% more expensive. You know, speaking to that, that reminds me, don't think Pepperidge Farm, since you got a mention here today, that I haven't noticed you've made my pumper nickel bread smaller. I don't think I haven't noticed. I opened up a fresh

pumper nickel bread. I hadn't had a pumper nickel sandwich in quite sometime. I love pumper nickel bread. And lately, whoever purchased this is the bread in our bread pile, there's been rye there, which I like, it's fine.

And the last time I opened up the rye pack, I thought, well, it doesn't look like the big rye slice of bread that I'm used to, but I didn't think about it. And then, so then yesterday, I go to make a sandwich,

and I mean I go to have the wife make me a sandwich is what I meant to say and I open up the package of the Pepperage Farm pumpernickel bread don't think I have noticed that is way smaller though that loaf of bread that you give me for poplar nickel bread still good still awesome I still enjoyed it very much but it's smaller you are downsizing me on that and I don't like it I don't like it one little bit. I'll tell you that.

So just, just know, Pepperidge Farm. I see you. Okay, I see you. Apparently dog treat sales are also down, according to General Mills. So even the dogs are taking a hit.

But you don't have to worry about that because you can door-dash-in and pay later. So you get everybody, everybody wins. Everybody wins, no problem. Well, everybody's happy unless you're driving a Tesla. because you've got, I mean, terrorists trying to find your car, key it, blow it up. Three people already have been accused of using Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla cars,

dealerships, and charging stations. And they busted a bunch more people for keying them. I don't know if you know this, terrorists, but the Teslas have cameras. And we see you. I watched a video yesterday, I watched a video yesterday where you see the guy key the Tesla. and then when you switch camera angles you see him walking into his apartment there's the number everything

who he is you think we don't know that it's just silly now aside from that if you own a Tesla you got to be on the lookout for that especially here in DFW where this show originates from I believe this is the Tesla capital of the world I did not log on

to the data dump of who owns a Tesla from the terrorists they released a website where I can go and see where each is or who owns each Tesla. But, and I don't know if it's true or not, I just know they talked about it. But here in DFW, I mean, Tesla's on top of Tesla. Every time I turn around, I'm seeing it, I'm running into a Tesla.

Not literally. And cyber trucks, yes, I've got a cyber truck in my neighborhood. Actually, it looks really cool. It's painted black and it's got a big artwork design on the back panel. And the license plate is Tesla 1. Really nice. Really nice. Very cool.

But I don't know if that's going to be one of the ones that was just recalled. Cyber trucks for Tesla manufactured from November of 2023 to February of 2025. Just the latest models, that's all. Due to an exterior trim panel that can detach from the vehicle, you don't want that. You don't want that. So next time I see a number of cyber trucks around, the coolest one is the one I see. It goes into my neighborhood. I'm not sure where he lives in the neighborhood.

I don't follow him. He doesn't, he lives farther in. He lives, you know, I have my trailer, a single wide, and he lives back there with the double and triple wides in the trailer park. Yeah, so I don't pay attention to where he goes. But I'm sure it's newer model, so 46,000. 46,000 Tesla cyber trucks recalled. Kind of a bummer.

And speaking of recalls, This just happened. The U.S. consumer, well, everything just happened because you're listening to the show. But, okay, this is actually just hit me. It's breaking news. I should have Chris Cruz to it.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the CPSC, as you know, just announced a recall of more than 2,300 bottles of the popular allergy medication Benadryl. Due to serious child poised. poisoning risk. Now, that makes it sound terrible. And really, yeah, oh, kids, you're getting poison. Isn't terrible? It is. But it's not like there's poison in the Benadryl, okay? Because the problem isn't with the Benadryl liquid itself. It's rather the bottles in the affected batch, which fall short of the

federal child resistant packaging requirements. So you don't want to do that. You don't want to fall short on the federal what did I call it again? Oh yeah the federal child resistant packaging requirements yeah so they initiated this recall which affects 100 milliliter bottles of Benadryl liquid elixir sold

in paper boxes with the code I mean if you have one do you look at the code X-O-O-3-V-R-I-G-U-L okay it was sold on Amazon between July,

2023 and October of 2024. I mean, I probably already used already. With prices ranging from 60 to 19 bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It contains the diphenhydramine. Do not. So, and that's an antihistamine. And that's used to treat. You know what Benadryl is used for. But under the poison

prevention packaging act, huge fan of that. Medications containing diphenhymine. Hyderamine? Amorphophalus. No, that's not the way you pronounce it.

Must be packaged in a child-resistant container to prevent young kids from accessing the drug, which can be dangerous in large doses. Yeah, okay, we know. But I guess some people are just too stupid to know. All right, fine. So the recalled bottles, I mean, they don't meet the safety standards,

leaving kids vulnerable to accidental poisoning. Okay. if you have a bottle of Benadryl out where your young child can get it, I almost said that maybe your kid deserves to be overdosed on Benadryl, but no, I wouldn't say something like that because I would just be wrong and that'd be mean. And you just, you can't have that. We need safeties. That's why we have these safety in place.

So just be sure. And then it goes down to give you a whole list of things that you should already know in this story. Ensure a purses and bags, yours and gas and contain medicines are kept away from children at all times. Always store medicines in their original containers. Don't assume your child can't open a medicine package or container. Child resistant packaging is not childproof.

No kidding. I mean, never refer to medicine as candy and avoid taking medicine in front of children as they often imitate. Right? Right. Thank you. What if I'm sick? And they have to take care of your kid. And now I have to take care of my kid and hide the fact that I'm taking medicine. No. I have to take medicine now. You can't take this. It's not for you. But for sure, we want to make sure that we keep everything in line, in line and make sure that we adhere to federal child resistant packages. requirements.

So, there. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.

So the Boston Celtics, the iconic Boston Celtics, I mean, what are they got, 18, 19 championships, banners hanging from the rafters. So a group led by this Bill Chisholm managing partner of Symphony Technology Group has just said, you know what, we'll buy it. We'll buy the Boston Celtics.

No problem. For $6.1 billion. Toching. Where's the... Thank you. That means that it's the biggest price tag ever because the commanders, the Washington commanders, NFL team sold for 6.05 billion. billion. And that was, I think, last year, 2023.

She's another lifetime ago already. Only a couple of years. Time is traveling so much faster. So it'll be, it's the most expensive franchise. Now it's the most expensive. And I mean, it beats them all now with the $6.1 billion. But NBA way out in front. The Phoenix basketball team, NBA, NBA team sold a couple of years ago for four billion. billion. I spit on $4 billion, okay, with the Boston Celtics. So they bought it. Now, the good thing is, is that the ownership group that owned it, that were headed up for sale, they bought it way back in 2002. 2002. Where were you in 2002? They paid $360 million in 2002. They paid $360 million in 2002. That's a pretty good return on someone's investment. Uh, yeah.

Uh, yeah. Uh, yeah. Hello. Uh, we spent $360 million. Had all these years championships added on. And then, you know what? Uh, let's sell it. How much can we get for it?

Oh, we could probably get $5 billion. Nope. Let's do $6.1. Okay, let's do that. All right. Great. No problem. Six.

$6.1 billion. That is incredible. And a fun fact for you. So they spent $6.1 billion on the Boston Celtics, the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics. But the building they play in, the garden, the Boston Bruins, the hockey team owns the building. So you bought a basketball team without their own court.

You still, they lease, the Celtics lease from the hockey team to play there. The Boston Garden, incredible. So I don't even know, I don't know what they charge for that. But I don't think they care. If you've got $6.1 billion to dump on a basketball team, you're probably okay with the least arrangement with the garden, at least for now. You're not thinking about that. The garden was, yeah, you know, yeah, you can still hang your banners up over there.

That's fine. But we're going to move them. We're going to move them over there for a little bit, okay? It's just incredible. So if you, you know, I was thinking if you now want to live in Boston and who doesn't, I mean, their mayor is welcoming all kinds of immigrants and illegal immigrants. She said that, we welcome on them all. We want all the illegal immigrants in Boston.

Okay, well, we should send them there. So if you want to move to Boston because of the new ownership of the Celtics, or maybe you want to get out of it. out of there. You should reach out to real estate agents like trust.com. I mean,

no matter where you live and where you have to move any time that you have to make a big change, it's hard. And it's just such a pain in the rear to sell a home and buy a home.

And you have to jump through all these hoops. And, you know, you're dealing with possibly the biggest amount of money you're going to have to deal with in your life. Well, you know,

unless you bought the Boston Celtics for $6.1 billion. But you want a real estate agent that knows what they're doing. And you want someone that doesn't just, I could help you. Just let me get back to you. I've got to go take care of someone's plumbing. And then I'll get back to you.

I need something cold to drink desperately So congratulations Are in order to former reality star Jesse Holmes Jesse Holmes He won the longest Ever I diderod Trail Sled dog race

Last weekend congratulations. I know. Amazing. Because who doesn't want to race in the Iditarod Trail Sled dog race? Man, that's something I've dreamed of for. Holmes was the first to finish line in the Gold Rush Town of Nome on the Bering Sea Coast. The race began March 3rd in Fairbanks.

And just so we're clear, Nome and Fairbanks. Fairbanks, that's in Alaska. And if you look at the map, Alaska's, well, it's over there. It's right there. Anyway, it started March 3rd in Fairbanks. After a lack of snow force changes to the route and starting point, I'd have been pissed if I was him. He probably was.

Hello! It's Wink, though. Right, but it wasn't. That changed it. There was some kind of problem. So that made the normally 1,000 mile race a staggering 1,121 miles across. the Alaska wilderness. So he did it in 10 days,

14 hours, 55 minutes, and 41 seconds. Wow. So congratulations. Congratulations to Jesse. He said, hey, it's hard to put in words, but it's a magical feeling. Isn't it, though? Isn't it though?

He said shortly after crossing the finish line, it's not about this moment now. It's about all those moments along the trail. Uh-huh. What did you win, Jess? Well, he's going to take home $57,200 for winning a race. Wow, that does not seem like it's worth it. Along with $4,500 worth of gold nuggets. Well, that might be worth it because it's more than that already.

And 25 pounds of fresh salmon. Oh, man, that's well worth it. I mean, that's to feed the dogs, right? That's not even for him. So congratulations. He was competing for the eighth time. What a loser. He finished in the top five.

Wait a minute. He previously finished in the top ten five times, not the top five. He finished in the top ten five times. Including third, that's in the top five in 2022. And his first I did around in 2018 was a seventh place that earned him rookie of the year. year. So congratulations to Jesse Holmes for winning the longest ever I did Arad. And,

you know, seriously, congratulations. That's something, I don't think I, now you can give him some applause. Yeah, yeah. Congratulations. Congratulations. I don't know that I would ever, I've talked about these. I love congratulating the winners. I've seen the videos. I've watched some of the race when I run a, you know, stumble across it online or online. on my television. But, and I appreciate, I appreciate the dogs and what they do and the owners and the relationship they have with the dogs, that kind of thing. But no, thank you.

I'm not, I'm not doing that. I was raised in Michigan right here, as a matter of fact. Now, it's not as far north as Alaska, which is over here up. But, uh, I did not like, what's the, what's the season? Oh, yeah, winter. It's Winthrop? Yeah, I did not like it. I got out of there as fast as I could and moved to Florida.

And that's what I wanted to do. So I'm not going to go to Alaska and be in the Iditarod because I don't know if you know this or not when they run the Iditarod. Hello, it's winter. Okay, so I told you I was watching or that I watched adolescents on Netflix. And it was four episodes. It was really good, I thought. I enjoyed it. You might want to put the closed captioned on

because it's an English show and sometimes the accents get a little overwhelming. And either if the volume is up or down, you know, it may affect how you can understand what they're saying. You know, I think I made it through without the closed caption, but it makes it easier with it. And then I found out we talked about how it was one camera, one shot for each episode.

really, really cool. Well, then, yesterday I see someone post online. Netflix has a show called Adolescence. That's about a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus, and it's based on a real-life case. Well, they don't tell you that it's based on a real-life story. It's just a story.

They don't say, this is a documentary. This is, it's just a story. Okay, I get it. So if it's based... I figured it was based on a true case, but I didn't know that. I just enjoyed the story, right? And yes, it's about, you know, this young kid who knifes this girl to death, okay?

And it's based on a real. So guess what? They race-swapped the actual killer from a black man migrant to a white boy, and this story has to be so radicalized online by the Red Pill movement. Just the absolute state of anti-white propaganda. Okay, well, I don't get your upset in this. So we were supposed to have the black boy, the immigrant, stabbing the girl, because then you lose the whole family falling apart.

Then you lose, I don't know, just, I get it. I get it. It was based on a true story of the guy. The way they put the story together, I thought worked. And I don't think the way they did the story, the way they did adolescence, would have worked with this migrant boy.

Just me. You know, if you want to get upset about it, you do, you, boo, but it was okay. I don't think it was that bad. I really don't. And I started watching, I did see the bald ones. I told you yesterday. I apologized.

I did. go and I watched the first episode. There's four episodes available. I did watch episode one all the way through. I don't know how much I could make the rest of the episodes. Wow. I mean, the whole, I don't know how many episodes the reality show The Baldwin's has, but the first one took a lot out of me.

The first one took a lot out of me. And it's with Dear Old Alec, and his wife, Filaria, and the kids, and they're in there. We talked about them being in their dump in NYC. I think it's like they have a 6,000 square feet dump in NYC, and people were pissed because he was talking about how, you know, how they're squeezed in there.

And they are. It's four bedrooms, four bath, 6,000 square feet, seven people, well, actually nine with the mom and dad, and the cats and dogs. that they have. So, I mean, it's not, you know, I realized that it's 6,000 square feet, I got it. And it's, I got it.

And it's just, it was just, you know, I understand the feeling of being cramped in. I also understand that the whole entire episode one was them getting ready to pack and go to go to their dump in the Hamptons for the summer. That's only 10,000 square feet. So they get to spread out a little bit in the Hamptons. You got the square footage of the house and the beach. in the outdoors for the summer though it's not like we can live there forever we can't we have to live in new york hello we have we have to be able to just go to the aleck has had this place in the hampons

forever and so we just can't give it a bit of it i thought he was selling it but maybe he was selling another place that he had um it just fascinated me they're just it's it's a fascinating And she is just annoying. And, you know, we played the clip of her cutting him off on the red carpet, and he's so pissed. And then she tried to make up for it. Because they got so much grief over that red carpet one. They tried to make up for it.

They did some Instagram story post where they're laying in bed. And they reverse the roles in the story. So Alec is playing her. and she is playing him from the video of the red carpet. Okay, so the audio from the red carpet is what they're mouting. But he is mouting her

and she is mouting him. I think you know what I'm saying. And then they joke around about it being mansplating and she always cuts him off and he cuts her off and that's just the way they are. And it's just, it didn't do them any good at all.

They should have just let it go. They should have just let it go. But no. I mean, it's just terrible. Just terrible. And then they, I'm supposed to like slow horses on Apple Plus, okay? I was told this a long time ago. Slow horses, a great show on Apple.

You got to watch it. It was great. So I started watching it. And I've watched it now. I think I'm a couple episodes in, two or three episodes in, and I'm kind of bored with it. It really didn't. I don't know.

I just didn't really enjoy it. But it's, apparently it's one of the highly, most highly rated spy thrillers. on TV. Okay. I'll give you that it may be the most highly rated spy thriller on Apple Plus TV.

But on TV alone, I don't know. But I was looking at some numbers. So Apple TV apparently is just bleeding cash. All right. Which they don't care about because they make so much money

that, you know, losing a bill. billion dollars at Apple TV Plus. I spit on a billion dollars at Apple, okay? I mean, obviously they care, but they don't really. They don't because they make so much money on the other stuff that, you know, Apple TV is a nice thing. It's a nice thing to have.

So apparently Apple TV Plus has 45 million subscribers, you know, and they're losing money to like a billion a year. I mean, that's who. So Apple TV Plus accounts for less than 1% of the total streaming viewership. Apple TV Plus, 45 million subscribers, accounts for, what did I say, less than 1% of total streaming viewership despite the subscriber base. Like I said, they, you know, their services division ranked in like 96 billion last year. So, I mean, it's okay.

they'll be okay. That'll be all right. Dry your eyes. And severance, I was told I was supposed to severance was so good. I, eh,

eh, I, and then they've dumped a bunch of money into Argyle and fly me to the moon. They lost money on that. So,

easy, easy with the Apple Plus stuff. Okay, easy. But then I looked at, so I'll see what Netflix was doing because Netflix is probably the only streamer that's making money.

And they, they brought in $1.87 billion in profit, in profit, the last quarter of last year, Netflix. Disney finally posted a $293 million profit. Disney's streaming family, that was in the first quarter. Ooh, okay. Warner Brothers Discovery Max earned $409 million in Q4.

Peacock is narrowing losses to 372 million quarterly. Ooh, still underwater. So streaming is a tough place to be. There's a lot of content. Everybody wants your business. No question about it. Prime does the same thing. I mean, Apple and Prime are kind of the same thing,

although Prime has spent more money and created a lot better content, by the way, Apple. Sorry to bring you down a little bit, but Prime Video crushes you. Although there's a couple of things on, what was the one stupid show that I loved so much from Apple Plus? No, not the morning show. What's his face?

No, not Ted Lassow either. I haven't gotten into Ted Lassow. I'll give it a shot. I know, what are we on like eight seasons now? They're coming up in their final season. They're so good. That's a great thing. But the one that I really liked with, what's his face, Vince Vaughn?

It was a stupid monkey show. Bad monkey, bad monkey on Apple Plus. I like, that was fun. That was a fun show. And that's been renewed for a second season. I hope that continues on to be good. That was really good. Vince, I thought we did a great job

and the other characters on that show were really good. Very well done. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

Well, let's begin with George B. George Bell. Who you say George Bell? Who the heck is George Bell? Well, he was America's tallest man at seven foot eight inches. The coffin is going to be a little long.

Just so you know, it's going to be George's coughing a little long. He was a Virginia law officer, actor, Harlem Globetrotter, known as the Gentle Giant, has died at his family home in North Carolina. at the age of 67. So you may have saw him in American Horror Story and Freak Show. And so it's very sad that George has passed away. It didn't say, you know, what the exact cause of death was. I don't know if it was, you know, gigantism gone mad.

But it took 67 years. So it's very possible that he had, you know, giantism. Oh yeah, so Gigantaism, I think, is separate from giantism. No, sure, that's what it is. And so anyway, he's rest in peace, did George Bell

dead at 67 years old. You remember George for being 7 foot 8. Now, he was the tallest American, okay? So, we still have we still have, you know, people that were a lot taller than George.

Okay, so I don't want to bring it down. I appreciate George being holding the record. And he fought back and forth with this, for the Guinness World Records, as the tallest man title. He held it in 2007. And then he was dethroned by Igor Wachovinsky, who was a fraction of an inch taller.

And then he reclaimed the title when Wachavinsky, died in 2021. So I'm not sure. I'm looking at the list of the world's tallest people and, you know, talks about dead or alive and I'm scrolling down to the list.

So the one guy who was the tallest of all time ever. Now this was, I don't know, I think he died back in, I don't know how old he was. It was like 100 years ago. But he was 8 feet 11. 8 feet 11.

Bro. I got a creak in my neck. Let's you sit down. Okay, take it easy. Then there's one guy that was 8 feet 8. He's number 2. And there's this guy who's 8 feet 7 and 3 quarters. These people, these pictures do not look like they're modern pictures.

Well, this guy kind of looks like it could be modern. Leonard Stadnick, 8 foot 5, 855. uh the tallest living person eight feet five yeah it doesn't give a birth or a date of him uh then there's this guy who is eight foot three yeah he died in 63

these are all old pictures uh then there's guys who's eight foot three he's wearing an outfit that you would only wear back in the you know eighteen hundreds and you know nineteen hundreds I'm sure he made a living touring around um being a freak uh this guy eight foot three

this guy's 8 foot 2 8 foot 2 8 foot 2 yeah so George I mean what was George 7 8 like a midget compared to these people but I'm not down playing George

okay I rest in peace George you were a good man and we appreciate all the good that you brought about in this world today so rest in peace to George Bell 7 foot 8 passed away in North Carolina at the age of 67. Then we have actor

Wingshouser. Wings Houser, who doesn't love Wings Houser character actor from Vice Squad, the Young and the Restless. You remember him from Young and the Restless. When you look at his picture, he's the guy that you went, oh yeah, that guy. Everybody remembered him.

Wings Houser. I don't know if that was his given name. If mom said, oh, come here, let me see my new baby. Oh, let's call him Wings. I doubt it, but it's possible. Anyway, Wingshouser, his career spanned 58 years in the movies, TV, and the music, and he worked along some of the grades. And when you see Wings, you will.

You'll say, oh, yeah, that guy. he has passed away at the age of 78. So rest in peace. It doesn't say, you know, it doesn't say they didn't tell us, you know, what he died from. It just talks about some of the shows that he was on. Was he ever on Canon?

He had to see, okay. He was on the Fall Guy, Magnum, Merchiro, Perry Mason, Roseanne. I mean, he's on all these shows. If he was not on Canon, Sorry, that means Robert Conrad And said, uh, no Tonight's episode will not have wings

Houser in it, okay? Yeah, no, it doesn't mention canon. That's disappointing. The fall guy, oh yeah, that's with, uh, what's his face? Steve Austin. That's Steve Austin. Uh, you know, the guy that married Fair Fawcett, uh, Lee Majors.

Lee Majors, yes. That was the fall guy. Anyway, no canon. But he did have Perry Mason, so he's got that going for him. But Wiggshauser, dead at the age of 78. Then we have this very sad news out of China. Canada is pretty pissed. China executed four Canadian citizens over drug charges.

And Canada's a little pissed. for their, you know, a lack of basic human dignity. So we'll see what happens over that. But four Canadian nationals were executed over drug charges. And, well, Canadians, Kansas is a little pissed. Well, I don't know. It doesn't say how they were executed. It doesn't say.

You know, it's China. So are they going to waste a bullet on a Canadian? I don't know. Maybe you just push them on. off a cliff or something. I don't know. I don't know how they were executed. But China treats drug charges

well pretty strong. Pretty strongly. Yeah, you don't want to be caught doing that, man. Holy cow. Dude, I think somebody smells our bong. Oh no.

Yeah, that could happen. I mean, Sad, very sad. And I know that Canada condemns it. I'm sure the U.S. condemns it as well. Just terrible. And I mean, what are you doing, China? Come on now.

It's our drug laws. We get to do what we do. Okay. All right. Do you think that the United States? Well, you know what? Never mind.

Trump's in office. Oh, and then I see in Michigan. Oh, my gosh. This is a great story out of Michigan. you know, the entire state of Michigan. But it's, you know, it's specifically Oakland County's commerce township right here. Anyway, the, they are adopting a new strategy this year for dealing with the large populations of the Canada geese that come into the urban areas.

And usually they round them up, they take them to a natural area, and, you know, they set them free. and then, you know, they say, go ahead. We just get out of, you know, get away from the people. No longer. So China is killing Canadian people, all right? America, Michiganers are killing Canadian geese. You show up and you're not where you're supposed to be. You're getting a little too close to humans.

Yeah, we're putting you down. They'll be killing them all. And this one lady is not happy about it. I bet. She volunteers for the Animal Protection Advocacy Organization in defense of animals. Yeah, I love them. That's based out there in California, but she's hanging out in Michigan because she's pissed. She said that she watched the roundup of Canada geese off of this Lake Sherwood.

And the roundup occurs in the month when the geese are molded. and can't fly. So when the geese show up, and they show up, there's plenty of, they show up in a lot of, a lot of these parks and these Chihuasi flats

up here, just in the Sagina Bay Area. And that, they, that's where they hang out because they can't fly, and they wait until they can fly and they can take off again.

Nope. If you got too close, we don't want you in our lake, we don't want you by where we live. And if you're, If you're messing with any of that, yeah, the DNR then is going to just euthanize them. They put them in the cages.

And it says here that they put them in cages together, using carbon dioxide to suffocate them. Oh, they don't shoot them, though. They don't do that. They don't do that. I mean, this is probably cheaper than the bullets. That's funny. The DNR has helped mitigate human goose conflicts for over 40 years.

Yeah, you hate that. You hate the damn human goose conflicts. State wildlife managers seek to keep the birds' population in Michigan in the 175,000 to 225,000 range and regulate that number through annual hunts. Yeah, but this is not hunting. This is rounding them up and putting them down. If they're not shooting them,

they're using carbon dioxide to, suffocate them oh that's better then that's better i got no problem with it really but come on now i mean do we we're seriously that's when to catch them we don't want them we don't want them there and i and i know i'm going to have people reach out to me at chewing the fast as blaze dot com and tell me these damn geese they're everywhere they're affecting they can't fly they're eating all the they're eating this they're eating that, they're killing my yard, they're killing my woods. Okay, all right, you got it.

We won't have anybody move them off. You know, the fencing and the habitat modification isn't working good enough. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Either, you know, use a little carbon dioxide or whatever you do. This episode,

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. So last week, prior to the game, we talked about your daughter having issues traveling across the country, finding a hotel room by not being 21, and yet still an active military member. She made the trip, completed her trip to Alaska, right?

She absolutely did, checked in three days ago at her base. Awesome. And, I mean, we have got to do something. Has she got the ball rolling yet, or just leaving it up to me now, aren't you, to take care of this and make sure that this doesn't happen to any more military members? There's no one who loves the military.

military more than you or more qualified than you in showing the fat to get this time. You are 100% correct, sir. That doesn't mean you with the game, but you're correct, okay? So are you ready to, you ready to try again? I'm a returning champion. You made it look easy last week. You made it easy for me last week. I don't think you're going to do that this week for me, but let's go.

All right. Four headlines, one not real. What's the lie? Headline number one, South Carolina apartment complex. holds vigil for resident alligator killed after complaints. Headline number two. Lawsuit claims 380 million-year-old fossils dumped in landfill after New Jersey College didn't pay the UPS bill.

Headline number three. Idaho Ballet Company sells out performance of the Shawshank Redemption in just 24 hours. Headline number four. A new app limits scream time by making you literally touch grass. Those are your four headlines. Headline number one. South Carolina apartment complex holds vigil for resident alligator killed after complaints. Headline number two.

Lawsuit claims 380 million-year-old fossils dumped in landfill after New Jersey College didn't pay UPS bill. Headline number three. Idaho Ballet Company sells out performance of the Shawshank Redemption in the first 24 hours. Headline number four. New app limits screen time by making you literally touch grass. Those are your four headlines. Michael, what is the lie?

I have to go with number four. You going with number four? Oh, no. Man, I wanted you to win again, too. Oh, well, thanks for playing, and thanks for listening to What's the Lie. What's the Lie? is a subsidiary of chewing the Fed Enterprises.

All information is probably accurate at the time of recording. CTF, WTL, MMXXV. So you want to take another shot? Idaho Ballet. Yeah, you would be correct. Yeah, that's correct. That was my first. It wasn't, though.

You say it was your first, but it really wasn't. It was. I just switched at the last minute. Oh, see? I know I'm bummed for you. I am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you didn't win.

I wanted you to win too. On behalf of your daughter. I'm not as I am. I'm going to miss our weekly conversation. I know. Well, I know. Dry your eyes. It'll be okay. Thank you.
