Boating will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Commexontera.com. Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher I want to be clear I had nothing to do with it although I kind of wish I did
Starting point is 00:00:41 police in Phoenix are reaching out to the public for help in locating three suspects one of which was not me in stealing a 15 foot tall red spoon from a Phoenix area dairy queen it would love
Starting point is 00:01:01 to have that spoon And that's obviously why these three stole it. And it's completely wrong. Okay, completely wrong. They are having a new spoon made and apparently it's going to cost $7,000. So they're saying that this is grand theft. And there's a program called Silent Witness is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and or indictment of the suspects of this crime. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I mean, Silent Witness is a nonprofit program in Metropolitan Phoenix aimed at providing an anonymous means delivering information to police on non-drug felony crimes. Well, good for them. I'm sure they do great work. So they had a truck. They had a flatbed. You could see the video of the dual axle flatbed trailer. So they're saying, hey, If you see someone driving down the street with a giant red spoon hanging out of somebody's truck or in their garage, definitely contact Silent Witness. I mean, I say yes, you absolutely should contact Silent Witness if you're sure, if you're sure that the 15-foot Red Spoon is the actual Red Spoon.
Starting point is 00:02:26 If there's just a hint of doubt, don't call me one, because somebody wants to be. wants that 15-foot red tall spoon in their man cave. And I can understand why. But to be clear, I had nothing to do with it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So tornadoes, on top of tornadoes, on top of tornadoes. There were at least 50 tornadoes that ran through Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Delaware,
Starting point is 00:03:02 Mississippi, and Alabama. sadly, at least 32 people lost their lives. The tornadoes destroyed towns and communities. Eastern City of Wynn, Arkansas was the hardest hit. Governors in Indiana, Illinois, and Arkansas all declared states of emergency or disaster declarations to immediately open up aid. President Biden also issued a major disaster declaration for Arkansas to free up federal assistance for the state.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Then I see an article that talks about the U.S. leading the world in weather catastrophes. Here's why. Well, it's because we're the United States. Hello. And it is the Earth's punching bag for nasty weather. The thing that struck me from this story is all the weather experts. If you want your kids to have a good gig in life, make them become a weather expert. Man, you started going down with, we had quotes in this story.
Starting point is 00:04:02 from the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We had quotes from a North Carolina state climatologist. We had quotes from the director of the Hazards Vulnerability and Resilience Institute at the University of South Carolina. We had quotes from a Northern Illinois University meteorology professor. and another quote from a NOAA social scientist who investigated the aftermath. Wow. So if you want your kids to have a, you know, a good gig, make them a meteorologist, and they will have a very, very good gig.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And I mean, you need to come because in this story, they also quote, a former president of the American Meteorological Society. And it's all because we are in Mother Nature's crosshairs. Now, I don't recommend getting hit by a tornado. There was some of the footage is absolutely devastating. My home was hit by a tornado, and it is not fun. It is not fun at all. My home was not completely destroyed, but, you know, a partial roof was taken off,
Starting point is 00:05:22 damage on the inside because of that, and it's a scary moment when it's happening to your home. No question. I was fortunate enough that no one was harmed physically. Mentally, it was, you know, a tough time to get through specifically for my daughter. But I do not recommend that for anyone. So if you are in the eye of a tornado, seek shelter and be safe. It is not fun.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Now, that having been said, if you want your kid to have a good gig, weather is the gig to get. well, weather expert is the gig to get. I don't know that you can actually become weather. So just when we thought we were done with the Gwyneth Paltrow skiing court case, as she won last week, and the jury decided in her favor, they, you know, with Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist, saying that, you know, Gwyneth slammed into him skiing at the Deer Valley Ski Resort,
Starting point is 00:06:27 accident left him with four broke. and ribs, a permanent traumatic brain injury. He saw damages from the former actress initially asking $3.1 million. The judge dismissed that amount, then reduced it to $300,000, and he lost that, too, because she countersued him for a dollar, which is what they ended up saying. He's got to pay legal fees plus the dollar. And the legal fees are not cheap. Not cheap.
Starting point is 00:06:54 So apparently, he claims that while he is... is, you know, disappointed at the outcome. You know, me and my legal team, we're willing. We're not quite willing to leave the case in the past. What are you going to file an appeal? Okay. Good luck, God bless. Someone needs to tell the retired doc, let it go, bro.
Starting point is 00:07:20 In fact, I'll do it. Hey, Dr. Sanderson, this is Jeff Fisher from Chewing the Fat. Let it go, bro. All right. We're done with you. you okay let's move on now we did find out also that what guenna said to him remember we talked about how she got to leave early and and uh on her way out she bent down and whispered in his ear i thought it might have been hey take a height douche no it wasn't that i thought it might have
Starting point is 00:07:47 been hey uh lifetime uh just use your use ski accident uh for 15 percent off at goop dot com no it wasn't that either Apparently, according to him, she told him, I wish you well, in which he said he responded back. Thank you, dear. So a little less than,
Starting point is 00:08:09 less than fun than what I thought, but I wish you well is what Gwyneth said to him in his ear. She probably doesn't mean that now if he's going to appeal. Terry, this is Jeff, again, from chewing the fat. Wanted to call. You don't need to pick up the phone.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Just listen to your voicemail. Let it go, bro. Speaking of Let It Go, bro. In NYC, New York City. What a beautiful city, the city of America. America's city, is it? Well, yes, yes, it is. I know that the district attorney,
Starting point is 00:08:44 Elvin Leonard Morag, Jr., which is the, he's the district attorney of New York County covering Manhattan. He's expected to, and he got the indictment last week against former president, Trump, and Trump is expected to turn himself into authorities tomorrow. For those of you listening live, today is Monday, the 3rd of April, 2023. So tomorrow would be the 4th of April, Tuesday. He'll be fingerprinted and have his mugshot taken. He isn't expected to be handcuffed or led on a perp walk while they will be,
Starting point is 00:09:20 they will be bummed about that because they have wanted that perp walk for a long, long time. We're also learned at the time what the specific charges filed against him are. And I would say Elvin, let it go, bro. And then we have another case where in New York City, I would say, Alvin, let it go. Remember a while ago, the New York City deli worker, Jose Alba was attacked by an angry customer. And in self-defense, he fatally stabbed the man on the neck. And the district attorney Alvin Bragg charged him with second degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Starting point is 00:10:01 He was sent to Rikers Island. And the public war was rightly so outraged. And the charges were dropped. The bodega clerk was released. Oh yeah, Bodega, we were all about the... We were all about bodegas at that time.
Starting point is 00:10:15 And they spent six days at Rikers and Bragg's office admitted, yeah, there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute Elba. Uh-huh. Was there a... ever, Mr. District Attorney. Then we have this case in New York City
Starting point is 00:10:28 where a parking garage attendant was charged with attempted murder after an alleged violent confrontation with a thief. The attendant was shot twice during the reported robbery attempt, but managed to wrestle away the Perp's gun and fire back at the thief.
Starting point is 00:10:46 So, okay, so they've both been charged now. Ridiculous. The parking lot attendant Diara 57 has been charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon for his reaction to a thuggy robbery attempt. The report claims that the criminal was looking into cars at a garage on West 31st Street. The security guard, Diara, suspected the man was looking for a car to steal.
Starting point is 00:11:20 He asked the man to go outside and question him about the contents of the bag he was holding. The man, Charles Rody, pulled out a gun, I'm sorry, allegedly pulled out a gun, and Dara attempted to snatch the firearm. However, the gun was fired and shot him in the stomach and another bullet grazed his ear. He turned the gun on the shooter and shot Rody in the chest. So he wrestled the gun away, or at least wrestled it enough to turn it toward the attempted robber Rody and shot him. Both men were rushed to the hospital, said to be in stable condition. So now they both have been charged. Rody was charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and burglary.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Huh. So the security guard was also charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Let it go, bro. That's my answer to the NYC. district attorney. Mr. Bragg. Let it go, bro. All right, let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, so I saw John Wick 4 this weekend. And I said on my Twitter account at Jeffie JFR that I would give you my review of John Wick 4. And that I've already written John Wick 5.
Starting point is 00:12:56 So if you are aware of the John Wick franchise, you know, that Keanu Reeves plays John Wick, and he pretty much just kills everybody that are bad guys. And a lot of people get shot, and they're moving forward, and he's rolling down.
Starting point is 00:13:13 The big scene in this movie, while there were a number of them, there were some great death scenes and shoot-em-up scenes. The big scene was this stairwell, going up this giant stage, and they claim that he gave he gave t-shirts out after the movie because going up this stairway, they, you know, kill a bunch of people.
Starting point is 00:13:35 But the stuntmen are, they shot it in two or three nights. And, of course, you're using the same stuntman over and over again in different outfits and whatever. So they all got killed multiple times in the film as different people. And so at the end, he gave t-shirts out to all the stunt men. of how many times they were killed in the movie. Awesome. Not just the stairwell, but the entire movie. Awesome stuff from Keanu.
Starting point is 00:14:04 That's good stuff. That's a prized possession of that t-shirt right there. How many times you died by the gunshot of John Wick? Or knives or however you died in the John Wick movie. Multiple times. That would be awesome to have that t-shirt. And so my review is it's another John Wick movie. that's it that's it
Starting point is 00:14:27 it's another John Wick movie we talked about him getting you know hardly saying any words in it and how much money it's well worth the money they paid for him it's a lot of work Keanu whatever he makes for the movie is you know good for him good for him now I
Starting point is 00:14:45 guess if I tell you my idea for John Wick five it spoils John Wick four so I usually don't care about spoilers, but this is a pretty new movie. It's only been out for a little while. So I kind of feel bad if I spoil the ending of John Wick 4.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I mean, the characters were great. Ian McShane, I mean, he is awesome. Lance Riddick was great, and he, of course, he died in the movie, and he died in real life. Oh, that's a spoiler too, isn't it? Gosh darn it. And so Bill Scarsguard is, you know, the bad guy who is awesome. There's been some great characters in this franchise and in this movie, awesome. And it's just a shoot-em-up movie.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And John Wick, you're just not going to kill him, okay? He doesn't die. Except, I don't want to spoil it. I do, though. I want to spoil it because I want to tell you my idea for John Wick 5, because everyone thinks that there's not going to be a John Wick 5. So I'll just say this When you watch John Wick 4
Starting point is 00:15:56 At the ending And you think to yourself Oh no, it's over It's not I believe That it was a ruse And the only way that he could be free Was to do this
Starting point is 00:16:08 And so John Wick 5 Will be him Having to appear again That's just me though That's just me But when that happens I want my money Okay Keanu
Starting point is 00:16:20 Call me I'll help you write the whole thing I've already written the beginning for you, the beginning scene, we can sit down and we can do the rest, okay? So just leave it at that. I mean, Keanu's not going to get an Oscar
Starting point is 00:16:34 for any of the John Wick movies, but it's a huge income for Hollywood. It dropped down to number two at the box office this weekend because Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among the Thieves took the number one spot, domestic and worldwide, this past weekend. John Wick dipped 62% at the domestic office earned $28 million in Week 2, but also shot past $245 million globally.
Starting point is 00:17:02 And the third sequel in the action franchise already made more than John Wick, the first one. Chapter 3, Parabellum, $327 million. Okay. So this one will definitely outdo that. Anyway, got me thinking about the Oscars, which were, you know, last month. And I remember, I don't remember a talk. I remember not talking about the gift bag that the actors get. Every year they get this big gift bag for the Oscar winners.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And this year, I was reading, I finally found a story on it that talked about the gift bag being worth about $125,000 this year. And they have to put a price tag on it because the IRS believes that it's taxable. So Lash Ferry, founder of distinctive assets, said he made the Academy Awards, Once the nominations are announced, the process of delivering the bags begins.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Okay. So they have to figure out, since people travel where they're staying, what fake names are using, that kind of thing. But they deliver two suitcases so the actors can take their stuff home. Incredible. Two suitcases worth $125,000. I'm sorry, $123,000. Now, it includes more than 60 gifts. ranging from a $16 package of chocolate covered pretzels to a $40,000 visit to a luxury Canadian estate.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Now, I guess you don't take it all. I guess they give them to you in the little coupons or whatever, but unless you use it, I mean, you can't be taxed on it, right? And with their busy schedules, according to Lance, you know, they don't all use the same thing. Like you get a $9,000 three-night stay at the... the Faro Puncto Immatorre Lighthouse in Italy, with you and up to seven friends. You get a one square meter plot of land in Australia through the pieces of Australia Conservation Project.
Starting point is 00:19:05 That's valued at $50. You get a $12,000 arm liposuction procedure from Dr. Samu, promising to give, promising to give women an instant lean and toned look with smooth shapes and perfectly defined contours. I mean, I'm in on that. Doc, it's not just women. Okay. I'm up for the liposuction
Starting point is 00:19:30 procedure. You get the shinery radens wash, which is a hand soap featured on Oprah's favorite things that cleans your jewelry while you wash your hands. Oh, isn't that so special? You get a private hair restoration consultation with the leading hair transplant surgeon. Okay, so this is kind of misleading. to me because I'm all, I'm about seeing the leading hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Alan J. Balman. But this is just a consultation that's valued. The doc values each consultation as $7,000. It's not a hair transplant. It's like, I'll tell you what you need. Then you can give me some more money, all right?
Starting point is 00:20:14 And you get up to $10,000 worth of procedures from Dr. Constantine Vasuxtelian. That's you. including chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and Botox. Plus, my favorite, and more in the story. I don't want to have them list everything. Just tell me some of the big stuff, and more. So sad. Anyway, that's some of the stuff that the Oscar nominees got, right? So it's not just the winners.
Starting point is 00:20:49 There were 27 recipients of this year's, gift bag. Jimmy Kimmel, Best Director nominees, Best Actor nominees, Best Actress Nominees, Best Supporting Actor Nominees, and Best Supporting Actress Nominees. And so congratulations to everyone.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I hope everyone was able to use what they needed. The one thing that I didn't say was in the suitcase, which I think would be fun. The biggest offering was a $40,000 three-night stay at the remote luxury property, The Lifestyle in Ottawa, Canada. If you decide to visit the all-inclusive estate, you'll get to enjoy a fully stocked fridge
Starting point is 00:21:33 filled with gourmet foods and in-home movie theater, as well as the ability to drive a 1965, Shelby, AC Cobra, 427 Roadster, as well as a 2023 McLaren Artura. So, I mean, congratulations to all people involved. Then I see there's a new show, being shot by Netflix with Nicole Kidman and Liv Schreiber in a limited series on Netflix called The Perfect Couple.
Starting point is 00:22:01 That might be good. I will see. I mean, I like these two actors. It's the adaptation, adaptation, not adaptation, it's the adaptation of Aaron Hildebrand's The Perfect Couple. And, you know, you have Nicole and Liv, which, you know, awesome. So, yes, it's about this Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families in Ann Tuckett,
Starting point is 00:22:30 her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Gerson Wimberry, spared no expense in planning or promises to be the premier wedding of the season until a body turns up on the beach. As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer's novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. And they've got a lot of actors and actresses in this series that should be fun.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I hope that this is actually not like Glass Onion. You know, another Knives Out mystery. I don't want one like that. Those are okay. They're fun to watch. The first one, Knives Out was fine. Glass Onion was fine. But I don't want it like that.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And I better have a better ending than the, undoing did on HBO with Nicole because that was a great limited series as well but the ending very disappointing so Nicole live you know call me I know you guys know what you're doing but maybe you know if the there's an issue you need to you know call me email me chewing the fat up the blaze.com I'll get right back to you and we can make this thing that much better. Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:24:09 They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes, too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. All right, some FYI headlines just to get you through the day. And so when people say, hey, did you know about McDonald's is temporarily closing its offices this week? And they're expected to have huge corporate layoffs? You could say, yeah, I heard about that on chewing the fat.
Starting point is 00:24:51 When people say, hey, did you know that NASA is going to reveal four astronauts? I selected to take a trip around the moon for Artemis II, which is slated to take place in November of 2024 at the earliest, you can say, yeah, I heard about that on chewing the fat. And I also know that these four astronauts, whoa, they get to take a trip around the moon. They don't get to leave. They don't get to land on the moon. And they don't get to do anything but take a ride around the moon. Now, I would like to do that.
Starting point is 00:25:22 But as an astronaut, you'd think, well, that kind of stinks. I mean, can't we just shoot me down to the moon for a little bit? No. No, not this time. No. And we don't know when it's going to happen either. We were saying that it's going to happen a little over a year from now, but it may not happen then either.
Starting point is 00:25:38 But you guys will be the ones. So congratulations to you. And you could say, yeah, I heard about it on chewing the fat. Also, we have the Masters. Man, Sports is all over the news. I didn't even, the Masters starts off this week on Thursday. And according to reports, Tiger will be competing, which will be huge. I'd like to talk.
Starting point is 00:26:01 We've got to talk about the, the NCAA tournament. That's tonight. The men's championship is tonight. For those of you listening live, remember today is the 3rd of April Monday. The men's March Madness National Championship is tonight. And we'll find out who wins between San Diego State and Yukon.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Congratulations to LSU being the women's basketball national champions as they defeated Iowa. yesterday, 102 to 85. They were pretty commanding. It was a dominating win for LSU. Caitlin Clark was awesome for Iowa throughout the entire tournament, but she did not win the most valuable. I'm sorry, she did not win the most outstanding player of the tournament. Why would you give the player that broke the record for most points in a tournament
Starting point is 00:26:59 in either men's or women's with a hundred and nine, total points for the entire tournament. Why would you give it to her? You don't because she's on the losing team. You give it to Angel Reese, who was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. That's it. That's because you don't want to give the Most Outstanding Player Award
Starting point is 00:27:18 to the Most Outstanding Player. That's just silly because she was on the losing team. So get that through your head. Part of the International FYI Headlines, just know that Finland will officially join NATO tomorrow, so I'm sure they're going to help out immensely with the war on Ukraine. I'm sorry, with the war on Russia anti-Ukraine. I'm sure they're just going to help.
Starting point is 00:27:45 I'm sure they're just going to help. When you think of somebody you want helping you, it's Finland. Anyway, Saudi Arabia, you can count on your gas prices going up if you've noticed lately. At least I have, the gas prices are inching up high. yesterday Saudi Arabia said that we're going to slash our daily output yeah we're you know what we're we're given the world too much oil so it's a precautionary measure to help stabilize the oil market oh okay so what about what about prices yeah it could go up I don't know 26 a gallon 26 cents
Starting point is 00:28:31 a gallon due to the cuts, maybe. The national average is about $350 a gallon now. So we're going to have record high gas prices again, probably, this summer, which is we had record high prices last summer. So, hey, let's see if we could beat last year, okay? That'll be great. So apparently, the U.S. had said the world needs lower oil prices to help economic growth and make sure Russia doesn't make more money to fund its war in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Well, that would be, I would believe that, if we were doing everything in our power here in the U.S. to get more oil out of the ground, but we're really not. So I hope that our president won't decide to get more oil from our, Strategic reserves, but looking at past history of this administration, it would seem that if something appears to be bad for the United States, that's what we do. So. Plan on seeing those gas prices go up. So I see where congratulations are in order for Nashville, as Nashville topped the list of the Wall Street Journal's annual ranking of job markets. It was followed by Austin and...
Starting point is 00:30:01 Jacksonville for the top three and they claim that tourism is driving the hiring boom. The surging hospitality economy also helps cities like Las Vegas, Orlando, and New Orleans shoot up the rankings from the previous year. Then I see a list that tells me the top cities where inflation is rising the most. Okay. The cities where inflation is rising the most. Now, I would say that I live in DFW. Dallas Fort Worth, and on this list, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Texas is on the list.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And there's no surprise to me. But it's way, way, way, way down the list. It's only number nine. number nine in the top 10 of cities where inflation is rising the most is Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington. Yay. So at number 10, Houston, the woodlands and sugar land? Yeah. So congratulations to Dallas and Houston for being nine and ten.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Way down the list. Way down the list. Now, it's very disappointing to me. What was number one? What was number one at number two? very disappointing. So we'll just do the countdown. Number eight is Riverside,
Starting point is 00:31:31 San Bernardino, Ontario, California. San Diego, Carlsbad, California is seventh on the list. Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Georgia's, number sixth on the list of cities where inflation is rising the most. Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Washington is number fourth. Well, they're tied for fourth with Detroit, Warren and Dearborn, Michigan. Number two and three,
Starting point is 00:31:59 well, tied for number two and three. I don't know how that works. Tide for two. Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Arizona, and Philadelphia, Camden, Wilmington, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, right there in that northeast corridor.
Starting point is 00:32:18 And number one, the number one city where inflation is rising, the most Tampa, St. Petersburg Clearwater. It's very sad. Both places, I mean, Tampa, St. Pete Clearwater, love, live there for a long,
Starting point is 00:32:36 long time, could live there again, for sure. Philadelphia, that neck of the woods in the Northeast Corridor, live there for a while, could live there again, love it. Never lived in Phoenix, although I hear it's gorgeous, although they're going
Starting point is 00:32:52 to have worse water issue, than other places in the world. I'm from Michigan. A little north of Detroit, though, would you? Look at the map. I'm from right here, the Tri-Cities, which is, you know, north of Detroit. And the other cities,
Starting point is 00:33:10 have I ever lived in any of these other cities? Dallas, well, I lived in Dallas, yeah, for sure. New York, Newark, and the corridor, they're 14th on the list. So, congratulations to the cities where inflation is, rising the most, and these findings were from Wallet Hub. And I just, you know, say congratulations. And you guys are doing a great job.

Starting point is 00:34:26 I saw where Twitter updated its verified account definition. When you click on it, I have a blue checkmark that was a legacy account. I'm questioning paying for the blue mark. And this weekend, Twitter says now the verified account, this account is verified because it's subscribed to Twitter Blue or is a legacy very verified account. So it's not just a legacy account anymore. It's either or, which is kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:34:57 He said he was taking them away if you're a verified account and you're not paying. So, you know, so be it. I just found it. I don't think he will. although who knows what Elon's going to do. But anyway, as I'm sitting here, as I'm sitting here talking to you, I see a story come across the wires of Instagram from Dallas, Texas TV account.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And it says, cockfighting ring busted in Dallas after a shooting. Someone purchased a chicken and then later returned because it didn't fight very well and shot the seller. That's what you get. that's what you get. It reminded me of the story I read this morning about a family in California who purchased this goat for their nine-year-old daughter. This is not a joke of the day, although I do have a joke of the day for you today. The child fed and cared for the goat every day and bonded with the animal, which, you know, tends to happen. And then for whatever reason, the family entered Cedar the goat into the shed.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Shasta District's Fares Junior Livestock auction. This is an auction where they sell off animals who are then slaughtered, cooked, and or eaten. That's not a secret. Everyone knows that's what happens to the animals in this auction. And so they knew it was the fate that awaited dear little, sweet little cedar. So then the family got cold feet, and they wanted cedar back. And they said, no, no, no, no. We entered the auction.
Starting point is 00:36:32 We couldn't have withdrawn. He was eventually, sold to this man who for nearly a thousand dollars which really isn't that bad for a goat and so then they said no you can't have it back it's already been sold so the last day of the fair
Starting point is 00:36:48 the daughter was saying goodbye to Cedar and decided to act and so they stole the goat from the barn and that breaks the rules and it's also a crime so they take the goat in the night and they said we're going to deal with the
Starting point is 00:37:04 consequences later, which is what they did. So the family offered to pay the fare for its troubles and they also they wanted to let the whole thing go. But the fair said, I don't think so. And so they sent a wrong address
Starting point is 00:37:22 where the goat was at. So the police showed up to come after and take the goat but they went to the wrong address. Duh. So then they got the right address and they rolled up And they took the farm. They took the goat from the farm.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And so that's the end because then they realized that somehow between the person who bought it and them taking it from the farm, it was barbecued and eaten. So somebody owes somebody something. Now, speaking of O'N, somebody something. I get emails all the time. I don't know why I get them. I'm happy that I get them. I don't act on them because I know that these people
Starting point is 00:38:15 just want my information and I get it. But it's fun for me to think what would happen if I if it was real. I got this email this weekend from Vatadel Engineering, Taiwan Company Limited. Hello.

Starting point is 00:38:47 export manager. And he gives me an address of Vindadell Engineering in Taiwan with phone numbers, fax numbers, and a separate email address rather than the one that it was sent from. So, man,
Starting point is 00:39:03 do I want to respond? But I don't. I don't. I want to. but I don't. And then I get an email from Michael who wants me to use his joke for the joke of the day. And why not? You know what, Michael?
Starting point is 00:39:16 Why not? I read it to the family. Everyone kind of chuckled. So here you go. It's worth a chuckle at best. No, I mean, it's worth a chuckle at the very least. Not at best.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I mean, you're going to do more than chuckle at this, okay? It's worth a chuckle at the very least. Three ducks walk into a bar. The bartender asks the first duck, What's your name? The duck answers, my name is Huey. Bartender says, Hello, Huey.
Starting point is 00:39:48 How's it going? I've been doing what a duck does, in and out of puddles, can't complain. Bartender looks at the second duck and says, Hey, what's your name? Second duck says, my name's Dewey. Well, hello, Dewey, how's it going? I've been doing what a duck does, in and out of puddles,
Starting point is 00:40:06 Can't complain. Bartender looks at the third duck and says, well, you must be Louis. How was your day? The third duck says, no, I'm puddles. You know you chuckled.
