Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Those of you that use Tinder frequently may already be aware of this. Those of you that use it, you know, infrequently. Here's something else that's happening with Tinder. They've now introduced a new feature allowing users to filter potential matches by height.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And many users, according to Tinder, especially women, have shown a preference for taller partners. And now we're talking about the ethics and implications of such preferences. Yeah, hello, that's part of dating. Critics are now saying that focusing on height promotes superficiality and dating. Yeah, supporters see it as an efficient way to match with preferred partners. Yeah, that's what it is. I know it's a dating app. But that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:01:26 You're looking for someone. that you prefer. So, that's the way it is now. The height preferences are important, and you can search for people on Tinder with height issues or height impaired people.
Starting point is 00:01:44 You may want to just keep swiping left. Oh, what's next? Wait? Yeah, fine. Go ahead. Let's put that on there. So, I mean, physical attributes and relationships, that's part of the dating
Starting point is 00:01:58 app influence. Yes, that needs to happen. Just know the next time you use Tinder, you're going to have to update your profile with your height. And you know, I'll put your weight in there too. Let's go ahead and get this done so that we can worry about, oh, preferred or not preferred. Swipe left or swipe right. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Well, a few changes at some airlines, Starting today, for those of you listening live, today is Tuesday the 3rd of June, 2025. United Airlines are requiring you to check in at least 45 minutes before departure for domestic flights.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Previously, they gave you 30 minutes, no more. You've got to check in by 45 minutes before departure. Not sure I like that at all. United and JetBlue are now forming a new partner, And it says here, it's subject to regulatory review. Okay. Allowing customers to earn and use points across both airlines. That's probably going to be allowed.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I know that for some of you, Pride Month is still a thing. Air Canada flew its first ever all 2S LGBTQIA plus flight in honor of Pride Month. So, man, congratulations to Air. Canada for celebrating Pride Month and making sure that your first ever crew of all 2SLGBQIA were plus, I can't forget about the plus. 2SLGBTV. No, it's not GBT TV. It's a Blaze TV actually now.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It used to be GBTV. 2SL GBTQIA plus. to celebrate Pride Month. Come on. I just want the best people working on the job, okay? I don't care. I don't care if they're part of the 2SLGBQIA plus crowd. I don't.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I really don't. Just make the best people get me in the air and then get me back on the ground. It's all I want. And sometimes you don't have that. There's a story about a British Airways flight attendant that went missing on this Super Jumbo A380 jet. And that's one of the big ones, the Super Jumbo Airbus,
Starting point is 00:04:37 because they're flying from San Francisco to London. Well, now it's time to feed the passengers. And they're looking around for this flight attendant, like, hey, what happened to him? Where's he at? We need Billy. It doesn't say his name here in the story. So I'll just call him Billy.
Starting point is 00:04:58 and crew members were looking for him all over and they were, you know, over the Atlantic, and then they found him. They found the flight attendant. He was naked and dancing in a business class bathroom. Why doesn't this happen on any of my flights? That is awesome. So apparently, still hot.
Starting point is 00:05:28 decided to drop some drugs prior to the flight. But, you know, we don't know when he took his drugs, but he was definitely peaking at the time of the flight. There were 470 passengers and crew, and they landed safely, of course. Well, he has nothing to do with that. And so cops and medics were waiting for him at the tarmac. He's since been suspended.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah, he was placed in a wheelchair and hauled off. So not only is it dangerous, it's crazy to end your career that way. Yeah, I know. But, I mean, it didn't really affect the flight any, except that they were down a flight attendant. But that is awesome. And it's not awesome at all.
Starting point is 00:06:13 At least it wasn't passengers fighting. Babies crying. Emotional support animals gone wild. Nope. It was just a high flight attendant. Getting naked in the bathroom. dancing around mid-flight. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You know, another thing, that's incredible. We still have three fugitives out there on the run. We have the last two remaining fugitives from the New Orleans jailbreak out there on the run. I mean, that happened the 16th of May. These two guys are still out there. And we still have the Arkansas killer Grant Hardin on the run. They're saying that they're, you know, they're busy. searching for him, but he knows the terrain, could be living in the caves.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I mean, there's all kinds of caves in that area, and that's where they figure he is, but no one knows. I saw where one of the New Orleans inmates, fugitives, posted a video. Obviously, we don't know where he was. I'm sure someone will be able to find out where he recorded the video at, but he is saying that, hey, I'm innocent. that's a surprise, huh? So he posted it to Instagram, and he's in an apartment.
Starting point is 00:07:32 There's the sign kitchen above the one sink, which is always cute to have in your apartment. And he's sitting on a stool, and he's got some court paper documents with him, and he's in a jumpsuit, and he says that Anton Massey believes that he is innocent. Massey, that was, I want to talk about to this far as far as why. I was in all these parrary's jail.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Uh-huh. All type of stuff going on and they're covering it up. You don't care about nothing. In the state of Louisiana, this is something that need to go under a federal investigation. What's going on? How they have in cases? Why had Toro Mansey was in jail if the woman, the victim, the wrong woman, not a child, the wrong woman stated that he never raped her.
Starting point is 00:08:29 He never beat her. He was no one. And oppressive, this is the athlete. Just showing paperwork. This is the drop form from the district attorney office. This woman did this. I didn't do this. Looker, it's legally, it's legally did.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Got stamped. You know what I'm saying? People that bend through the system that knew it's covered. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? When I get back in custody, I'm asking y'all, please to come help. You feel what I'm asking the world.
Starting point is 00:09:06 When I get back in custody. I'm not a rape, man. Good person, I am a father that want to be in my children life. I'm saying, I want to let the younger youth know, that going there on the route of trying to be a street person is not the route. And being a fugitive is not the route either, Anton. So turn yourself in. That's what needs to happen.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And so I'm sure maybe that's what he's working on. But he needs to turn himself in. Because in the words of Tommy Lee Jones in the documentary fugitive, I'm innocent. I don't care. So you need to turn yourself in. And then, and then, maybe we can talk. But for right now, you're an escaped fugitive.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And just a reminder, you know, the one convicted felon that's a fugitive, he was convicted of murdering two men on Mardi Gras in 2018. Who you just heard from, Anton Massey, he was charged with domestic abuse involving strangulation and theft of a motor vehicle, and he started escaping custody at the age of 15. And then Grant from Arkansas, the former police chief, Grant Hardin, he was convicted of murder and rape. So these are not good people. But, you know, hey, you can start writing your book and maybe get a made-for-TV movie deal, Anton.
Starting point is 00:10:36 And we'll see how that works out for you. But first and foremost, you need to turn yourself in. At Desjardin, we speak business.

Starting point is 00:11:38 You realize it's been five years since the George Floyd riots? I mean, that turned Minneapolis upside down and really the country upside down. Well, Blaze TV just dropped an explosive investigation and you need to see it. For the first time ever, three active duty Minneapolis police officers are speaking out on camera anonymously to tell the truth about what really happened. These guys were on the front lines when the third precinct was abandoned and burned. They're still in the job, still in uniform. And what they reveal about Derek Chauvin and Governor Tim Wal.
Starting point is 00:12:13 and the breakdown of law and order in that city is absolutely breathtaking. They say Chauvin was railroaded, that Waltz completely failed them, and that they're risking their lives every day in a city that's turned its back on them. Here's the deal.

Okay, so Canada wildfires are affecting the U.S. and we are going to have air quality issues from the smoke from these fires. We've got the Saharan dust coming across the Pacific into the U.S.
Starting point is 00:13:50 or the Atlantic into the U.S. It's got covering, I mean, we're going to have some air quality issues going on. And they have evacuated, I don't know, thousands of people from Manitoba. And they're evacuating other parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They've declared
Starting point is 00:14:10 states of emergency for the next month. They've asked for international help. They have thousands of acres burning right now. In Saskatchewan, there are 17 wildfires. Now, obviously, some of this may change as time goes, because it's a, you know, it's a fluid. It's a fluid story.
Starting point is 00:14:29 But right now, according to this story, there's 17 wildfires burning as of Saturday. Eight classified as not contained. Okay, well, that is not good. Saskatchewan premier said, that the current figure of 8,000 fire evacuees is going to climb to at least 10,000 as dry weather conditions persist. So the next four to seven days. All right, so coming up this week are critical as we find out what's going to happen with these fires and we're trying to put them out.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Wow. So we have Canadian Armed Forces, Manitoba Wildlife Service, and Manitoba's heavy urban search and rescue team using military aircraft and helicopters to bring people to safety from the northern community in Manitoba. Plus, I mean, they're busy fighting the fires as well. So, I mean, my son was supposed to go up into one of these provinces and go hunting for, you know, 15 days. That has been canceled. No, you're not, sure you spend all that money. So what? Sorry, you're not going in. There's no way in. That's the way it goes. In Manitoba, there's a total of 25 active fires, according to the province's fire situation 11 of those in manitoba are considered out of control of course they've got to blame it on climate change uh they have in fact they have in fact a meteorologist in canada with the
Starting point is 00:15:50 environment and climate change Canada love them uh they of course blame it on climate change because the conditions are are the conditions are the way they are because of climate change oh okay all right you got it uh the worst wildfire season was a couple years ago. Remember in 2023, they had like 42 million acres burned. So it's wildfire season again in Canada. Sure, it's an annual thing, but that's because of climate change. And we have the Saharan dust coming across the Atlantic into the U.S. and the southern states. So we're going to have that issue. Plus, we're going to have the wildfire smoke
Starting point is 00:16:30 coming into the U.S. So, man, breathe easy or hard. You know, just breathe. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

You know, speaking of social media, I saw.
Starting point is 00:17:44 a story yesterday that says that police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms in the UK. That is out of control. Thousands of people are being detained in question for sending messages that cause annoyance, inconvenience, or anxiety to others via the internet. telephone or mail wow so they're talking about like 12,000 arrests a year now many I don't know that they're spending any time in jail that's where I think we're going to get bogged down with facts but you know there's definitely an uptick in in arrests made under section 127 of the communications
Starting point is 00:18:37 act 2003 and section one of the malicious communications act 1998 or 1988, police forces in England and Wales are using that. Okay. The acts make it illegal to cause distress by sending grossly offensive messages or sharing content of an incident obscene or menacing character on electronic communication network. Okay. Officers from 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests in 2023. That's 33 a day.
Starting point is 00:19:14 So this, according to this, they had 7,734 in 2019. Yeah. I mean, that's up 50, over 50%, almost 60% increase. Wow. Okay. So just be thankful. Those of you that don't live in the UK, maybe it's worse in the country you live in.
Starting point is 00:19:37 But thankfully, at least for now, it's not that bad here in the U.S., but it could be coming across the pond. and I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Here's the thing with the internet. You could not look at it or you can look at it and then not take it seriously.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Just like, okay, that's why the internet bullying thing, just bullying thing really just bugs me because I don't quite understand that. But anyway, that's just me. But if you're in the UK, I guess be careful. I don't necessarily like to tell you to be careful about what you're posting online. because you should be able to post whatever it is and whatever the hell you want.
Starting point is 00:20:18 But no, you can't in the UK. And you will be questioned according to this story. And they're making 30 arrests a day. That's incredible. It's almost sickening, actually. Speaking of Europe, though, I see where Banski has made his way back to the world. He, in France, by the way, after a five-month hi-aid. as everybody was wondering, where's Banski? Where is Banski? Well, he is, he showed up in France,
Starting point is 00:20:48 and he's got a new mural on this wall in Marseille. And it says, it's a lighthouse, and it says, I want to be what you saw in me. Aw, see, he's in love. I want to be what you saw in me. That's so great. So, I don't know if this will sell for anything, or it just gets washed off the wall or not. It's on this beige wall beside a sidewalk. And this black lighthouse merges with the paint shadow of a nearby safety post.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And, you know, I want to be what you saw in me. I want Banski to, and I follow him on Instagram. I mean, you can follow him on Instagram. You see him on his Instagram posts. I want Banski to do artwork with my quote. Live in the dark long enough, and it becomes your light. I want a Bansky.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Bansky, if you're listening to Chewing the Fatsky, the fat a great work i appreciate everything you've done and i know you've made some money on some of your artwork so you know you're okay you'll be okay uh so i want to you know the rage flower thrower and the girl with the balloon i mean that one piece he sold um i got like 25 million so he's okay he's okay he can travel the world to do this and some of the artwork that he does is so cool and I want him to do one live in the dark long enough and it becomes your light.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Just make that happen, Banski. If you know Banski and he doesn't happen to be listening to this particular episode of Chewing the Fat, let him know that I'm expecting a Banski with my quote on it, okay? And I'm allowing him to use my quote for his artwork.
Starting point is 00:22:27 And, you know, that's right. That's right. You're welcome, Banski. So I'm sitting in the living room and my wife is watching a lost. Apparently she has found Lost on one of our platforms and is binging all
Starting point is 00:22:41 the episodes. She was still on season one. I was amazed that season one had like 25 episodes of Now I don't remember watching every episode but I do I remember watching a few of them and I just didn't care about this
Starting point is 00:22:57 the show. She's busy binging through Lost and I was sitting there just scrolling through the internet and barely paying attention to what was happening on Lost. I watched some of it. And it was just incredible that I had all these episodes. Anyway, as I'm
Starting point is 00:23:13 sitting there in the living room as she's binging lost and I'm scrolling through the internet, I see a post from talking about how the movie Shawshank Redemption is reportedly getting a remake. Well, I think, do we need to do that?
Starting point is 00:23:31 I mean, I guess it's being reported. Stephen King just terminated. the licensing agreement with Warner Brothers, which various reports claim because he's going to film a remake of Shawshank Redemption. I don't think we need to do that. We don't need that. I know it was a great movie.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I love Shawshank Redemption. I'm a fan of the movie. Watched it more than once. Do we need a remake? I don't think so. And then I laughed out loud because I see a report where they're reporting on what Clint Eastwood said.
Starting point is 00:24:03 and apparently he was giving an interview to an Austrian newspaper. I mean, Clint is 95 years old, so he's doing an interview with an Austrian newspaper. I need to reach out. Clint needs to be on this show. He's doing an interview with an Austrian newspaper, and I have no problem with Austrian newspapers, but he can do an interview on chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Clint Eastwood? Come on now. So he's talking to this reporter with the Austrian newspaper, maybe more than one. I don't know. And he says he's giving Hollywood a failing grade for originality. Uh, yeah. He said he longs for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like Casablanca and
Starting point is 00:24:46 small bungalows and is tired of living in an era of remakes and franchises. He advised fellow filmmakers, do something new or stay at home. And I read that right after I read the possibility that. they're going to do a remake of Shawshank Redemption.

Who died today? Who died today? Let's begin with voice actor, well, actor Jonathan Joss. Jonathan Joss, you most famous for his work on the TV comedy, King of the Hill. He was also had a reoccurring role on Parks and Recreation, too, but he was most known for King of the Hill.
Starting point is 00:27:48 he was a shot in his front yard by his neighbor. What? Yes. The actor who voiced John Redcom, which was part of the King of the Hill, got into an argument with his neighbor in San Antonio, Texas, and the neighbor shot him several times. And they tried to save him there in his front yard and could not. Very sad.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I don't know what the argument was about. I know that the gunman, fled in a vehicle and then he was arrested a block away. So I don't know how maybe it was a gated community. I don't know. I'm sure we'll learn more as the case unfolds, but it's very sad
Starting point is 00:28:30 and that'll teach him. That'll teach him to not get in an argument. He has passed away at the age of 59. Very sad. It's not funny. Stop it. He was just some argument with his neighbor. Don't know what it was about. And the neighbor shoots you?
Starting point is 00:28:47 wasn't much of a neighbor. Holy cow. Rest in peace to Jonathan Joss, dead at the age of 59. Then we have John Brinkus. John Brankus, Emmy-winning host of ESPN's Sport Science,
Starting point is 00:29:06 has passed away at the age of 54. After a battle with depression. So, I'm guessing, that he killed himself? It doesn't come right out and say that he killed himself. It just says that he was battling depression. It says that he lost his fight with this terrible illness. I thought he had kicked it.
Starting point is 00:29:31 He talked in an interview a few years ago that, you know, he had faced this depression and he was on the other side of it. I guess not. It's a, you know, he said in the interview that, it's a battle to get out of it. Yeah, no kidding. So if you or someone you love is battling depression and need help, 988 is the Lifeline, 988, or you can chat at 988 lifeline.org for free,
Starting point is 00:30:08 but you can call 988 for help. Don't, any time that you think that the world, is going to be better without you in it, that's wrong thing. Because the world is definitely not better without you in it. And if you're thinking that, dial 988, please. So rest in peace to John Brinkas, dead at the age of 54. You know, during this segment, I always talk about how terrible suicide is and how terrible cancer is and how many we've had such, we've had these turbo cancers developed in so many people these days.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I wonder why. Couldn't be that, though, could it? No, it wouldn't be. If it was that, they would have told us. Bristol Myers Squibb company is going to pay biointech as much as $11.1 billion to license a next-generation cancer drug. Okay. This particular drug is supposed to harness the immune system and attack tumors.
Starting point is 00:31:13 If that's true, great. Let's get this out to the people right now. They're going to receive $1.5 billion up front. I wish I could receive $1.5 billion up front. $2 billion in installments through 2028. And they'll also be eligible for as much as a $7.6 billion in milestone payments as the partner will split development and manufacturing costs and profits equally. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:40 So I hope this is a, you know, this immunocon. treatment is, I mean, it's a billion dollar a year business, but let's hope that it actually works and it just doesn't prolong the cancer. Let's hope that it attacks the tumors. So for $11 billion, let's get something, let's get something going, shall we? So we have Bristol Myers, Squibb, and Biointech working on that. And then we have the college student in West Virginia, a microbiology student working on, working on. This particular college student, found fungus, this Corrine Hazel from Ohio, an environmental microbiology major and Goldwater Scholar.
Starting point is 00:32:26 So she's pretty smart. Discovered a new species of fungus growing in morning glory plants named Pira glandula. Pira glandula clandestine. That's not right. Amorphophalus. No, I don't think that's right either. It's
Starting point is 00:32:44 Paraglandula clandestina. That's what it is. It's a fungus growing in these morning glory plants and it's named Paralangdula
Starting point is 00:32:57 clandestina. It is not Amorphophalis. Anyway, it is a It produces the effects similar to the semi-synthetic drug
Starting point is 00:33:09 LSD, which they say and there's all that treats depression and post-traumatic stress distortor and addiction. Okay, good. It also is a nice drug to have visions, too.
Starting point is 00:33:24 So I'm glad that West Virginia University Microbiology student has found this fungus that mimics, or at least gives you the same effects as LSD. Am I right? Then as long as we're, you know, so might as well stick to science, we have found out that in a study
Starting point is 00:33:44 published in the journal science that we have found the single gene this Yersinia pestis. Yes, Yersinia pestis. It is not Amorphophalus. Although a lot of people think that. It is
Starting point is 00:34:02 the single gene that has kept the bubonic plague alive all these years. Right? I mean the bubonic plague has been around for centuries, and it still shows up from time to time all around us. So according to the Cleveland Clinic, there are three types of the plague, which type that you have depends on where in your body the ursinia pestis ends up. Bubonic plague affects the lymph nodes. The septic plague is in the blood, and the pneumonic plague affects the lungs.
Starting point is 00:34:37 So Yersinia pestis itself is a bacterium with some deep historical roots and has caused three major pandemics in recorded human history. Okay, so now that we know this, let's get it taken care of so we can make it go away. Okay? Yeah, we don't need any more catastrophic loss thanks to the bubonic plague. We know the gene that causes it and houses it and makes it go bad. No matter which one you have, let's find something that makes it go away. Okay, let's do that. West Virginia, I know you're working on LSD. Maybe we work on this too. Okay. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

Starting point is 00:35:59 You know, sometimes things happen and you think, my gosh, that just makes so much sense. What are we even doing? And this actually does make so much sense. It's unbelievable that we haven't been using it in the past. So they're saying now that the Navy's secret weapon against drone swore. are these high-powered water cannons? Uh, yeah, what a great, I mean, why haven't we been doing this? So they have this firefighting monitor spraying system,
Starting point is 00:36:29 and it sprays like 16,000 gallons a minute. And so it's unlimited because you're using the ocean water. Hello. And when these swarm of drones come by, we're firing huge amounts of water at them and it brings them down. I love that. Duh. Why are we spending billions of dollars on, you know, drone interceptors? Which, obviously, you know, we do need. I get it.
Starting point is 00:36:56 But if they're going to start swarming our ships, yeah, we just, we're just going to go ahead and install these spraying seawater, high-powered water cannons on all our ships, and bring out the drones because we're going to take you down. What a great idea. Whoever started using that and come up with that idea, genius. And I don't know if this idea is genius or not. but it makes me think that they're right, okay? So we've all been told we need to make our beds right away. I mean, when you get up in the day, you get up in the morning, and you make your bed.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And that's supposed to be, you know, help you get your day started. You've got an accomplishment and you're good to go. You've made your bed so you can get your day underway. And, you know, okay, I get that. No problem. However, according to experts now, we're not supposed to make our bed right away. No, we're supposed to at least, wait 30 minutes before making our beds.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Why you ask? Interestingly enough, making your bed immediately after waking up can trap moisture from the sweat, creating a warm, damp environment where allergy-triggering dust mites thrive. So besides the regular washing and the mattress protectors,
Starting point is 00:38:13 you're going to need good airflow to help reduce exposure. So when people say, get up and make your bed right away, maybe not. Maybe you wait a little bit. I'm not saying you have to leave it on made for the whole day because, you know, whatever. I've gone both ways on this. I prefer the bed made every day, but I'm okay with it not being made too. But don't do it.
Starting point is 00:38:35 If you're one of the people that get up and make the bed so you've got the accomplishment done and you're moving forward, there's been plenty of books and plenty of experts. And people tell you to get up and make your bed so you've got the that first accomplishment done in the day and you're good to go and you're off to making more accomplishments. Maybe you need to wait a little bit. Get up, get yourself a cup of coffee, maybe take a shower, then make your bed.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I know, it throws the whole thing off kilter. I know, I get it, but that's what they're saying now. So there's new rules. And now those are, that's one of them is that don't make your bed right away. Because all you're doing is creating this warm, damp environment where allergy triggering dust might thrive. And other stuff too. And you don't want that other stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:20 So please, wait at least 30 minutes before making your bed to allow that moisture to evaporate and improve that ventilation on those bed sheets. I know, I know. I don't want to think about it either. But here we are. All right, let's get to the joke of the day. All right, these, I could give you all of them at once. Allison has emailed Chewing the Fat of the Blaze.com with five. No, six.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Six affair jokes. Six affair jokes. So I think I'm going to give you two a day for the next three days. And then, of course, I usually don't do a joke of the day on Friday because we have the game show. What's the lie? But I'm going to give you, because I could go through them all right now. They're actually darn good. I don't know if she wrote them.
Starting point is 00:40:11 She doesn't say. She just said that they're affair jokes, and she sent six of them. And they made me laugh, and I like them. So I don't, I'm not advocating for affairs. I believe if you're married, you are, you've already made the choice to be with that human being. And if you don't want to be with that human being, then make that happen, but you shouldn't be cheating on them. Okay, got that clear? Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:40:37 I know it's hard sometimes. And that's what she said. No, I mean, I realize how different. difficult that is. But, you know, I'm saying I'm not advocating for affairs. So a fair joke number one from Allison. A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 p.m. The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and drove home. Where have you been? His wife demanded, I can't lie. He said.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I'm having an affair with my secretary, and we had sex all afternoon. And she looked down at his shoes and said, you lion bastard, you've been playing golf. See, that's, yeah, you got it. And so a fair joke number two, middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters, but always talked about having a son. They decided to try one last time for the son, and they always wanted. The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy. The joyful father, though, rushed to the nursery to see his new son, and he was horrified at the ugliest child he'd ever seen.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And he marched back to his wife and he said, there's no way I could be the father of this baby. Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered. Have you been fooling around behind my back? And the wife just smiled and replied, not this time. Those are the first two of a fair joke week here on chewing the fat.
