When you think of the Holy Grail of Lego pieces,
Starting point is 00:00:40 what do you think of? Well, if you were to say the Lego octopus, you'd be correct. Who thinks the Lego octopus is the Holy Grail? But anyway, it fell into the sea from a shipping container back in the 1990s. The octopus is one of nearly five million Lego pieces. that fell into the sea in 1997. The storm hit the cargo ship, 20 miles off Cornwall, and there were 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, 92,400 swards, went overboard. The octopuses are considered the most prized fines
Starting point is 00:01:23 as only 4,200 were on board. So there's this kid that walks along the beaches there, He's collected 789 pieces over the past two years, this Cornish teenager. Littoros Semolanskaskas. That's how he say it. That's how he says it. L-I-U-T-A-U-R-A-S.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Who names her kid, that? And the last name is C-E-M-O-L-N. So Semolanskaz. That's awesome. So he has made the octopus discovery on the beach and he is fired up because he claims that he's been looking for the octopus for two years.
Starting point is 00:02:15 It's not an easy find. And it's so happy. His next goal was to find one of the 33,941 dragons that went missing after the incident in which 62 containers toppled off the ship. ship. So, good luck. And just know that if you have a Lego octopus, well, it's not one that fell off the ship in 1997, but it is apparently the Holy Grail of Lego pieces. And I guess that's the holy grail of Lego pieces just because it came from the shipping containers, or if it's just the
Starting point is 00:03:00 actual piece that belonged to the Legos because at one point in my life I had you know Lego pieces on top of Lego pieces on top of Lego pieces. It was never ending battle of Lego pieces and I don't recall ever having the Lego octopus so maybe it is the Holy Grail. Welcome Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You know, speaking of Holy Grails and what you think is going to be a Holy Grail, they're in the middle of demolishing this high school in Minnesota, the Oatona High School in Minnesota. And as they were demolishing it, construction crews stumbled upon a time capsule dating back to 1920.
Starting point is 00:03:52 So a 1920 time capsule in Minnesota was found. The capsule contained a variety of artifacts, including local reports, newspapers and rosters. And now the items are being curated for display with plans to showcase them in school district and at the History Center in collaboration with the Steel County Historical Society. And so now we are just, you know, we're excited about finding the time capsule. What, you know, it got me thinking about, and I don't have any, I don't have any jokes for you, although I should.
Starting point is 00:04:26 But they may come to me as I'm talking to you about it because I swear to what you'd put in the time capsule. I mean, what would you put in the Time Castle? Because, like, do I care? I guess it'd be, it's interesting to read what was in the newspaper in 1920. You know, rosters, yeah, you see who was on, you know, the shot put team or whatever. It was running track for the Owatana High School back at 1920. But you'd want the pictures of all the kids, right?
Starting point is 00:04:59 You want to see what they look like, who they are, their names, who was in the school. You'd want local reports of murders. Stuff like that, right? You'd want that. Of course you would. I'm interested to know what the artifacts were. You know, I don't know what the artifacts were. They don't list what was in the artifacts.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I guess I have to go to the Steel County Historical Society and see the actual showcase of the time capsule from 1920. But it'd be interesting. like I would have to put in a have to put in some kind of smartphone in today's world right out of a smartphone if you were to make a time capsule today a smartphone
Starting point is 00:05:41 pictures of of AI porn uh VR headsets uh you know what I'm saying you know where I'm going right of course you do
Starting point is 00:05:57 oh did you see the uh there's a guy in New York, I'd like to thank him for listening to chewing the fat. Thank you very much. Now, it's an unidentified man, but I saw some of the photos. This guy in Queens jumps out of his car because there's a wild raccoon running in the front yard of this house in Queens. And he starts shooting at it. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:06:23 I mean, he is definitely a listener to chewing the fat. Humans first. So you see him jump out of his SUV. Hey, raccoon takes a shot at him and you can't tell you, it takes several shots so I'm not sure if he put the raccoon down or not. Jeff, raccoons are normally nocturnal and they don't harm people.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Some raccoons are mean. So I guess if you come around the corner and you see them getting into your trash can, instead of, you know, firing that first round you do, maybe I'll give you, give them a warm. You come around the corner, hey! Now, if they don't go, if they turn around, flick that cigarette butt off to the side,
Starting point is 00:07:13 you're going to have to put them down. Going to have to. That's just the way it is. So this man has not been arrested yet. He's a legal gun owner, according to all reports. And it's a wildlife nuisance in Queens. So... I love this.
Starting point is 00:07:33 the fact that he didn't matter. Holy crap. Is that a raccoon in the neighborhood? Yes, it is. Stop the car. I'm getting out. Now, he fired multiple times. He fired multiple times.
Starting point is 00:07:51 It doesn't say anything about seeing the raccoon four paws to the sky. Doesn't say anything about that. So he's either a bad shot or we're just looking the other way and, you know, he did get the raccoon. And he's probably going to get in trouble for firing off a weapon. in a neighborhood in Queens. But I love the fact that he's going after these wild raccoons in the neighborhood. Because those things breed, man. They breed like, well, raccoons.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And so you don't want none of them. Is that a raccoon? Nope. You never know what you're going to find out in the wilds of the world. which is really why you need to be prepared and why you should have the Jace case. Just like it was back during the pandemic, we're facing drug and medical supply shortages right here in the United States. I mean, we have more than 300 drug shortages here in the United States right now.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And it's not looking like it's going to get a whole lot better. But Fisher, what if I have a family member that I really like and want to get this for them? Oh my gosh. You can't gift a family member. For the Jace case, you can. Do I need to fill out any paperwork and figure out what their medical history is? They can do that. What?
Starting point is 00:09:14 After you purchase it for them, yeah. Just go to Jacemedical.com. And what about if they want to use like some form of weird Ivermectin, can they order that? Amazingly, they can. Yes. If they wanted to get some kind of weird Ivermactin or maybe, I don't know, those weird epipens, stuff like that. Yeah. Also antibiotics, like, I don't know, five or six life-saving antibiotics.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You can get those as well. Now, is there a book inside that tells me what antibiotics I can use if I'm sick with something? Oh my gosh. Chris, you need to go to jacemedical.com. It's all in there. It's all in there.

At least the jackpot anyway, so it rolled over. The mega millions is now

Starting point is 00:12:43 wields too much power. So what can we do other than, I don't know, turn it off? So apparently, I mean, they've exploited customers, the data, well, yeah, invaded Americans' privacy.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Well, yeah, just like the government. Threatened our national security. Yeah, just like, you know, just like you guys all use it and love it. Speaking of you politicians who are now saying, oh, those tech companies bad, Apple puts my text from an Android phone in a green bubble. Those bastards, they wield too much power.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah, I don't. I got it. And if your kid is being bullied online from a text. Now, this, I know this sounds mean, but don't look at it. I know. I'm not a paid psychiatrist, but I would tell my kid, don't look at it. I would also say
Starting point is 00:13:52 it doesn't matter what that dinkleberry says, okay? Because, remember the phrase, what was the phrase that was rampant around this stupid country
Starting point is 00:14:05 for years? Oh, I know what it was. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Not in today's world. I mean, companies are going to get fined
Starting point is 00:14:23 and the government is going to come in and start locking down companies if employees don't actually use the proper pronouns of their fellow employees. That's where we're at in today's world. So, yeah, big tech, man. They wield way too much power. Oh, and I want to thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Thank Scott for sending me a YouTube video of the return of Frank Cannon. It's the action crime filler. Thriller, not filler, it's the action. It was just TV filler. There's no doubt about that. But it was the action crime thriller with the return of Frank Cannon, William Conrad, as Canon. And it's from 1980.
Starting point is 00:15:17 It's awesome. It's the entire made-for-TV movie. It's like, I don't know, an hour and a half long, something like that. It's awesome. Thank you for sending it to me. I will say, I'm a little disappointed, though. I started, I began watching it. I thought, I'm watching it.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Hello, this is the return of Frank Cannon from 1980. William Conrad, he's awesome in it. And yet the YouTube video doesn't have the open. What are we even doing? I thought for sure. Okay, so it started, it begins to the beginning of the show. And I thought, okay, well, we're going to get the first segment. And then when they go after the first segment, we're going to get the open because
Starting point is 00:15:57 Cannon is back. Because the premise of the show is that he's retired. And now he's being dragged back into being canon. And there's no open. I mean, I can barely watch it because I kept waiting for. It's all I wanted. It's all I wanted. No.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Don't you dare cut that off. What are we even talking about? It's all I wanted. Don't you dare cut off the cannon open? That's, they might shut down the, it's against the law, actually, is what it is. That's what I waited for the whole time. William Conrad. With guest stars, William Daniel.

Starting point is 00:17:10 No, I don't. Stop that. Just stop it now. Now I'm bummed. What happened to country blues? Why are we not playing country blues? That's disappointing. I can't even get it on the movie that's sent to me.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Thanks, Scott for sending it to me. I can't even get it on my own show. All right, let's go to the break room. I'm bummed. I need something to drink desperately. Raise your hand if you think that the... Don't try to make up to me now. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Don't try to make up to me now. Although, don't cut her off either. Canon starring William Conrad With guest stars Alison Argo Gulliger Burr DeBennie
Starting point is 00:18:09 Diane Farsi Joan Van Ark Oh she's a recurring up Tonight's episode Country Blue Okay Now I feel better Because I don't
Starting point is 00:18:22 I only wanted was the All I wanted was the open For the show The guy sent me The return of Frank Kennan Tonight's episode I didn't even get a title for the show We have to find that out
Starting point is 00:18:33 Hold on Yeah so I guess that is the title The Return of Frank Cannon So what we needed was Tonight's episode The Return of Frank Cannon Okay All right I feel better now
Starting point is 00:18:49 Thank you for doing that I appreciate it So anyway raise your hand It's right in the middle of the story Raise your hand If you think That we're actually going to have the high-speed rail line between L.A. and Las Vegas by 2028 for the Summer Olympics.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Anyone? Anyone? Oh, you do. You do. Oh, Governor of California, yes, of course. Thanks for playing along. No way. We broke ground a week or so ago for the bright line west. The high-speed rail line is supposed to take you from L.A. to Las Vegas. speeds reaching 200 miles an hour, expected to be completed in four years. That's funny. Financed by Fortress Investment Group with a $3 billion grant from the Biden administration's infrastructure funding bill.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Wow. Ames to serve 11 million passengers annually, alleviating congestion along Interstate 15. Right. It's also estimated to eliminate 400,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year. That's great. This venture signifies a significant leap in the American transportation infrastructure. It does?
Starting point is 00:20:17 We haven't had trains before? It's a significant leap? Okay. whatever you say. I spent, you know, speaking of carbon and the horrific problems that are created
Starting point is 00:20:34 because of carbon footprints. I must have watched that damn Taylor Swift video of her 2023 flight paths, her carbon footprint from her planes. I don't know how many times I watched it. I mean, it was so horrific.
Starting point is 00:20:53 It was like a train crash. I had to keep watching it. I could not look. And she, this is her carbon footprint for 2023. Just from the airplane, just from her flights, was the equivalent of 67,534 cows.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I don't even know how people can like her anymore. You know, speaking to rock stars too, I know those stones started their new tour last week in Houston, as a matter of fact, and their Hackney Diamonds Tour. It is interesting that their tour is sponsored by AARP. And I saw the video of a song from the show. And, you know, it's Rolling Stones, man. These guys are, you know, legends.
Starting point is 00:21:41 They've been together forever. Their entire lives, pretty much, have been together. I mean, Mick Jagger is 80 right now. He turns 81 in July. Keith Richards, 80 right now, turns 81 in December. And Ronnie Wood, the young little whippersnapper of the group, 75, turned 76 in June. I mean, these guys are incredible and they're still rocking. They've got a 16 city stadium tour here in the U.S., and then they head to Europe.
Starting point is 00:22:12 It was just incredible, just amazing. So bless their hearts. And plus Jagger, you know, how can you not be a fan of Mick when the woman that he's with now is younger than, I don't know, two or three of his kids. So good for him. Okay, speaking of really old people, Dan Rather, 92 years old.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Many of you may not even know who he is. He used to be the CBS News anchor. He was the CBS News anchor forever. And apparently he's returning to the network to CBS because they were going to interview him and that may have already happened about his life in news because there's a film out now,
Starting point is 00:22:52 a documentary about Dan Rather that premiered at Tribeca and then it's on Netflix beginning today May 1st, 2024, the Netflix documentary Rather. So, man, I cannot wait to watch that.
Starting point is 00:23:12 And I'll let you know just how it is. I mean, remember he, the reason he got the boot was he had fake documents about Bush's military career. I mean, he just lied on the air. Today's world, he's not off the air for that. They lie on the air every day. Nobody cares.
Starting point is 00:23:31 So, we'll see. Dan Rather, back in the news again, 92. I guess after so long, you just return and everything's okay. You're just, man, he's the. guy, he's the great news guy, he was on CBS Forever, Dan Rather. So you have an opportunity to hear from Dan
Starting point is 00:23:52 as he talked about his life and work at CBS and we'll be able to see the documentary Rather on Netflix beginning today. Cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I mean, I don't know what I'm going to get a chance to watch it because you got the Kentucky Derby coming up on Saturday. And the 150th running of the longest running continuously held annual sporting event in the US. Wait, how do they break that down? All right. So it's the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby, which is the longest running continuously held
Starting point is 00:24:31 annual sporting event in the U.S. Okay. Fierceness is the five-two favorite in the first leg of the horse racing's triple crown. So we'll be able to see We will see the Kentucky Derby At Churchill Downs this weekend I love the Kentucky Derby Always wanted to go
Starting point is 00:24:52 We had an opportunity Every year I probably tell the same stupid story Because we were supposed to go And then one thing led to another And we ended up not going And just my wife still has the hat She was going to wear She was all happy about
Starting point is 00:25:04 You know Being able to have mint julebs And see the Kentucky Derby And then we just ended up watching it on TV Like we always do So man she loved that She loved that. And I see where Panera Bread is trying to get in on the action
Starting point is 00:25:19 because they debuted a bread hat for the Kentucky Derby that you can order. And it comes with a $100 gift card. So if you're watching the Kentucky Derby and you see all the people milling around, not like the January 6 millers, but milling around at the Churchill Downs with their hats on and their fancy Churchill Downs, Kentucky Derby outfits. Look for the Panera Bread Hat Bread. The Bread Hat, it's not a hat bread, it's a bread hat from Panera Bread. It was created by Armaris Studio, which is created non-bred themed fashion for Jay.
Starting point is 00:26:12 and Gaga, but I'm willing to bet, and this is, I'm throwing it out there, I don't know. I'm willing to bet J-Lo and Gaga are not going to be wearing the Panera bread hat, but you don't know. The hat's centerpiece is a 3D printed replica of a bread bowl surrounded. I love bread. The Panera bread bowls are fantastic. Haven't had one in a long time. Surrounded by colorful ostrich feathers.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And that would be. awesome. The green forward bouquet of feathers lends a nod to the brand's broccoli and cheddar soup. And I prefer the chicken. So much so that you'd be forgiven for expecting some to be hiding in the bowl. Yeah, that's what you need.
Starting point is 00:26:56 That's the lady's going to walk around with the bread hat and it's actually going to have soup in the bowl. I dare you. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too.
Starting point is 00:27:29 That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Who died today? Who died today? Let's begin with Brian McCarty. Brian McCarty dead at the age of 59. Now you would know Brian.
Starting point is 00:27:47 He was from Rob Roy and Line of Duty. He played, the BBC's Line of Duty was awesome. And he played in the drama, Rob Roy. as well. He died at the age of 59. Now, listen, he died suddenly at his home. So, you know, I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with that. Because if it had something to do with that, they would
Starting point is 00:28:14 have said that it had something to do with that. So I don't even know why you're looking at me like that. Like, you're looking at me like it's that. And they didn't say that. Stop looking at me Like that about that So rest in peace Brian McCarty Scottish actor dead At the age of
Starting point is 00:28:35 59 Then I want to say rest in peace To Kenneth Brown Kenneth Brown I don't have his age But Kenneth Brown is the victim
Starting point is 00:28:48 of Colin Heschk C Z-E-C-H-29. Now, this is the way it all started. I don't know if you know this or not, but if you follow the documentary that, well, walking dead, you know that this is how it all started.
Starting point is 00:29:15 So on Las Vegas Boulevard Sunday, police were called because this man, was on top of who we now know is Kenneth Brown eating his face yeah yeah I don't know if you know this that's the way it starts okay okay okay so all right I just want you to know that way it all starts that's how the walking dead started we are we could be smack dab in the middle of it already because of that and Kenneth
Starting point is 00:30:02 obviously didn't make it apparently when you have your eye and ear part of your forehead and cheeks eaten you don't survive I know the weird weird thing
Starting point is 00:30:19 and then we caught a guy in Mexico that's their they're dubbing the Mexican Jeffrey Dahmer so the police were called and he tried, he was in somebody's apartment and he was
Starting point is 00:30:34 actually harming them and the police came and they you know they accused that caught him and so then they said he was he was in this room with this girl and he was starting to
Starting point is 00:30:48 do really weird stuff started to stab her I guess that would be weird stuff right started to stab her you know several times, multiple times. And I guess that's weird to some people. And so they called the police.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And then they went to his apartment because of this. They found all kinds of human remains and several human craniums in his apartment. So he's definitely a serial killer and definitely the Mexican Jeffrey Dahmer. So he worked as a pharmaceutical chemist in addition to the blood-sum. stained curtains being visible from the street. What are you going to do? You see curtains with blood stains on him. Are you supposed to stop and say, oh, it looks like
Starting point is 00:31:34 blood? No. Anyway, they found human bones in his apartment as well as a saw. So he's been now charged with seven homicides, but there's a bunch of families in Mexico that believe
Starting point is 00:31:50 that he's responsible for their missing family member. So, we have the Mexican Jeffrey Dahmer, Miguel Cortez. Made for TV show coming very soon. Okay, I got several emails in response to my request if we should keep the gunshots for when we talk about the South Dakota governor, Christy Noam.
Starting point is 00:32:24 No. We need the full name. I need the gunshot. Christy No. Okay. Now if I say we're to say Governor Nome, I think we keep the gunshot. If I say Governor Christie Nome, maybe we don't do it because that's a respectful to the office kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Okay, but if I say Governor Nome, yeah. And if I say Christy Nome, yeah, you get the gunshot. People were overwhelmingly supportive to the gunshots as we talk about Christy Nome. and her story from her book about taking the dog and the goat
Starting point is 00:33:02 and the horses to the gravel pit. It's amazing how that has now, that's part of the lexicon, right? We used to be taking out behind the woodshed, right? Or you just tell somebody
Starting point is 00:33:13 just, you know, we had to take them out out back behind the woodshed. Which meant, you know, no. If you took them out behind the woodshed, you're not cocking.
Starting point is 00:33:23 You're, yeah, you're shooting right away. Now, then we had, he sleeps with the fishes from the godfather, right? That means we're taking you out. And you're going down. Right? And then Yellowstone created one with taking you to the train station.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That meant, you know, you're either already dead or you're going to be dead. And now, Christy Nob, time is speeding up because there's a lot of time between woodshed and fish. and then the train station. And now there's only been a brief few years. We've gone from taking you to the train station to take you to the gravel pit. So the gunshot stays. I don't talk about Governor Christie Gnome very often, but we may have to add her to the rotation just to get in a few.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Well, you know, Christy Gnome. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no. But chicken tenders, yes.

For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. How much would you pay for the Gold Watch worn during the Titanic tragedy?
Starting point is 00:35:17 All right, it was owned by John Jacob Aster, the fourth, and it just sold at auction. All right, Astor was one of the wealthiest passengers aboard the Titanic. He perished in the disaster. He was survived by his pregnant wife. The watch among Astor's personal effects recovered after the sinking had been gifted to William Dobbin, the infant son, in 1935.
Starting point is 00:35:44 After several decades in private ownership, it was auctioned in the late 90s and as since been displayed in museums viewed by millions. Andrew Aldridge, managing director of the auction house, noted the enduring interest in Titanic memorabilia as evidenced by high prices that they command. And so I guess people needed some money. And they said, hey, I've got the gold watch that John Jacob Jengelheimer-Smith
Starting point is 00:36:12 War during the Titanic. And that's what his friends called him. He was John Jacob Astor, but he was John Jacob, Jengelheimer-Smith. They were singing the song, in fact, when the Titanic went down. You could hear it off in the distance. John, Jacob, Jengelheimer, Smith. And that just went on and on and on. Anyway, it was sold at auction.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Now I can't stop thinking about the stupid John Jacob Jacob, Jekyllheimer-Smithsman song. It was sold at auction. $1.485 million for this gold watch. That's really cool. I don't know that it's worth a million bucks, but a million and a half almost. $1.485 million for the gold watch,
Starting point is 00:37:00 worn on the Titanic, sunk, actually, in the ocean, and then found and then gifted to the fact. family and now sold to some other John Jacob Jekyllheimer Smith his name is my name too whenever we go out the people always shout there goes John Jacob Jacob Jakelheimer Smith I can't this can't stop why I know I know I got to stop I got to move on okay so this story here that I'm reading cannot be true I just I don't believe that if this is going to be under the chewing the fat heading,
Starting point is 00:37:40 can't be true. I mean, there's no way, there's no way that this is real. It just can't be real. So a husband, according to the story, text his wife that he wants to end their marriage because she breastfed their son. It just can't be real. They have screenshots.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Apparently, they texted back and forth and they posted the screenshots on X, formerly known as Twitter. And I saw where, speaking just to pause for a moment from this story, I saw where Elon asked the other day, what do you call X? You still call it Twitter? Do you still call it X? I mean, the timeline was amazing.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I would say that it was overwhelmingly people still calling it Twitter. Really cool. And people giving him honest answers about, I did as well that, you know, it's still Twitter. URL's still Twitter. And, you know, you still, you can post stuff on X, but when you talk about it, you're talking about, did you see it on Twitter? It's still, it's part of the lexicon.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I mean, it's part of the American fabric. It's like taking people to the gravel pit. It's there. Why leave it? They're telling them, you know, it'd be like meta and Facebook, right? just X could be your overall company. We know your fascination with X, but it's still just Twitter.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Anyway, so these people posted their screenshots of their text on Twitter, or X. And it says that, I enjoy your boobs. Now they've been in another man's mouth. I no longer enjoy your boobs. Just Wilders, not another man's. He's a male and your son.
Starting point is 00:39:36 That makes it incestuous in my eyes. It's not like that at all, says the wife. I'm not saying that. So I feel like it's not. It's no way that's real. There's no, the husband and wife may have texts each other this back and forth. So they had the screenshots of what look, you know, like text, actual text, because they were actual text. But what they're claiming, no way this is real.
Starting point is 00:40:02 There's no way that a human being, a man in this world can believe that when your wife, breastfeeding your child, means that it's an incestuous relationship and that you can no longer enjoy your wife. That just can't be. And then you look around the rest of the world and you see some of the other things. that are going on and you think well maybe it is maybe it is so according to this they filed for a divorce and they are no longer together if this were real i can see where that is something that would happen if if this were real but i honestly i don't believe that it is there's no way that someone could believe that.
Starting point is 00:41:06 No way. I'm sorry. No, I don't believe it. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. Thanks to Gary from Colorado who sent in today's joke of the day. Remember, it's not mine.
Starting point is 00:41:20 This is not mine. This is Gary from Colorado. Joke of the day. All right? My wife is complaining about being sexually harassed at work. I told her it's her fault. She chose to work from home. She knows how I feel about that backside.
