Starting point is 00:00:36 So Ford Motor Company has a new recall. The Ford Maverick, 2020 and 2023 model years, and the Ford Bronco Sport, the 2021, 22, and 23 model years. So over 300,000, not over, almost 300,000 SUVs and pickup trucks are being recalled because of faulty batteries. So the 12-volt batteries aboard certain Ford compact trucks and the Bronco SUVs could fail, which
Starting point is 00:01:13 they claim increases the risk of a crash. Okay, if you say so, the 12-volt battery may experience degradation and suddenly fail, which can then result in a loss
Starting point is 00:01:29 of electrical accessories, including the hazard lights or cause a loss of drive power increasing the risk of a crash. Okay. I mean, if you're driving down the road at 80 miles an hour and everything goes out, is that bad? You're asking for a friend. So they've only got that big recall. They recalled the F-150 lightning electric pickup trucks. Just know that if you have one of these vehicles, you have to take it into the dealer and they will replace the battery for.
Starting point is 00:02:01 free or that is nice of them or you can uh you know just do it yourself and put a new battery in and be pissed it forward i like that model better okay so never mind they're not going to replace it for free even though they said they would but you probably have to wait for a long time they can't just drive in and pop a new battery in and out you just buy it yourself put it in and be pissed it forward welcome welcome to chewing the fat We can add a couple more states that have banned lab-grown meat for consumption. Florida and Alabama have banned lab-grown meat. Three others have proposed similar restrictions on the 3D-printed meat.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yum, yum. And additionally, 10 states now mandate labeling of lab-grown meat. So the rest of the states, there's no regulations. You can just lab grown meat. You don't have to tell anybody that's lab grown meat. So now on Monday, Nebraska governor announced new legislative proposal to ban lab grown meat. Okay. That's Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:03:20 So that's coming. Nebraska's going to do that. No problem. And they don't want anything to do with, who makes that lab grown meat? Oh, yeah, Bill Gates. We don't want anything to do with lab. We don't need to change cows and how they are. No, we don't need it.
Starting point is 00:03:35 We want meat from. cows that's what we eat please make that happen and I know that I know that we have this this new make America healthy again with RFK Jr. and the new Trump mandate so I say I agree with say yes to real clean food from small farms yes we absolutely need to do that and we need to stop with the man-made meat now if they can make it where it's you know, a steak actually tastes and feels and looks like a steak when I get done cooking it, well, and maybe I'm willing to eat lab grown beef. But as of now, ooh, no, no thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:21 We don't want any. But these states are cattle states. You know, they've got a lot of cattle companies. And so they're like, no, we don't want that lab grown meat. I'm surprised that this state, that this show originates from, the state of Texas, does not have any rules against lab. grown meat. That's got to be coming, right? Yes, of course it is. Jeff. Of course it is. Of course it is. We don't want any lab grown barbecue here in Texas, do we?
Starting point is 00:04:48 It's disgusting. Okay, maybe I'll stop by and get some someplace. But for the most part, no, we don't want it. We have the meats. And if you're really hungry, you may not care. You need food and they're, you know, hey, I've got some lab grown. meat here for you, you may say, okay, good. I'm all for it, especially in California.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I mean, if you've lost everything and somebody throws, throws you a little sloppy Joe sandwich with lab grown meat, you're going to, you're going to, okay, okay, no, just calm down, okay. It's, that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's mean, delight those fires. Oh, yeah, we're cooking it. Yeah, well, in lab grown meat, too, you got to, you got to crank that up a little bit yeah slab grown you got to crank it up
Starting point is 00:05:45 I see where they have nine I mean I see Trump going to North Carolina and California now this weekend to see I don't know what's going on and that's what he's doing he's going to fly over yep still got a lot of fires burning gotta go there's like nine
Starting point is 00:06:03 fires now there were just a couple the other day and now that's how it happens Jeff, I know. I know. The Santa Ana winds kick it up and new fires start. So you still have the Palisades burning. The Eaton fire still burning. Then the Hughes fire, that just started burning yesterday. That's already over 10,000 acres. Now they claim, you know, they've got 36% contained, but okay, if you say so, the huge fire, they've evacuated a bunch of people. I guess some of those people were able to come back to their homes after they were evacuated.
Starting point is 00:06:39 But okay. Then there's a border two fire, 600 acres. Laguna fire, 93 acres. That started burning. Now those are down closer to San Diego. So, I mean, those, the Palisades, Eaton, Hughes, those are all L.A., you know, And then you have the sepalveda, right, or the suppleveda, S-E-P-U-L-V-E-D-A. That's where that's fire.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Then that's a few acres, 45 acres. Say a few acres, because the others are thousands. This is only 45 acres. And that's 60% contained. The clay fire, that's 85% contained. That's burned, I don't know, 40 acres. The Gible Fire, that's burned 20 acres. That just started.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Gilman fire, that just started. That's only burned a couple acres, but it's still burning. It's not either. There's nothing about it. So, I mean, there is still some serious fire worry in Southern California. That, I'm going to go on record of saying that's not good. All right, we need to, that needs to be addressed. And I'm sure that everyone is doing the best they can, I know.
Starting point is 00:07:54 But it's really incredible how fast they kick up and how much damage they do and how fast they do. And I keep going back to that Palisades fire, though, Matt. I mean, it's completely gone. I mean, the swath of area that that fire burn is just incredible. And the homes and businesses that it destroyed, terrible. Just terrible. And I don't know how you get back. I mean, you have to just get back some semblance of your life.
Starting point is 00:08:28 such a disaster and then we still have just as a side note from the Los Angeles Times Wildfires map
Starting point is 00:08:38 we have the Arizona fire still burning the Horton fire that's 98% contained now it was 96 yesterday
Starting point is 00:08:48 now it's back up to 98 the firefighters are still working hard on the Horton fire that's only been burning for 39 days
Starting point is 00:08:55 so they're on it they are on it They are on it. I mean, they're talking about, I was reading one story that talked about rebuilding costs $50 billion. Now, I feel like that's low. That is way low. And they're including an estimated $350 million in L.A. infrastructure. Again, I'd be hard pressed to tell you that they're going to replace and rebuild homes,
Starting point is 00:09:29 buildings, infrastructure for $50 billion. It just feels like that's, $50 billion feels like I spit on $50 million. It just seems like, and they're going to get it. They're going to get it either from the government or donations.
Starting point is 00:09:47 People are donating, you know, huge amounts of money as well they should. But it just feels like that is, that's low. Yeah, we're going to go. Did we say $50 billion? Yeah, let's go ahead and just kick, that up to 75 and you know what the heck we'll just go to 100 let's give us a hundred billion and
Starting point is 00:10:05 then we'll go from there because i feel like that's probably going to be uh that's going to be low i mean holy cow 100 billion dollars and that's and now they're saying 50 half of that 50 billion and i don't believe it i'm sorry that's new it's going to cost a lot more than that how much is how much or the space flights going to Mars? So maybe these people, Elon, should just reach out and say, hey, tell you what, I'll buy your property,
Starting point is 00:10:40 or you give me your property, and I'll let you hit you ride on my rocket to Mars. So, that's how he's going to start up to colonies on Mars. That's not a big, bad idea. Give me your property here on this planet. Okay, sign it over to me. Just sign
Starting point is 00:11:03 right there. You sign right there. Initial, and let me turn this corner. An initial that, yeah, okay, it's mine. Give that to me. And then you can hop on the rocket when you go to Mars and you can start our new colony in Mars. Huh? How excited are you now?
Starting point is 00:11:34 Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo Time. Joe, great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won!
Starting point is 00:11:52 Feel the fun! The morning will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1-8665330 or visit Comexonterio.ca. You know, I'm sure you feel it and you see it, but when I read about it, I'm like, holy cow, that's, that is true. so store closures have hit the highest level since the pandemic. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:19 They since they spiked in 2024 and expected to rise about 15,000 this year. This is according to CoreSite Research and who doesn't love CoreSight Research, Research. So the striking numbers reflect a stark divide between retailers that are gaining market share, Walmart, Costco. and those that have lost ground or filed for bankruptcy, such as Big Lots and the container store. So I was looking at all the stores with the most closures in 2024 and 2025. So you have Family Dollar. They're at the top of the list.
Starting point is 00:12:57 718 stores it says here might be more or less than that. But I'm just going to give you the companies. Family Dollar. CVS is closed over 500 stores. Kans has closed over 500 stores. Rue 21 over 500 stores. Big Lots. I think Big Lots is completely shut down.
Starting point is 00:13:17 But they say, they mentioned 517 stores a year. Is that all the stores they had? I don't know. But, I mean, Big Lots was, in what time of my life was a prime stopping store for me? Big Lots, man. I love the big lots.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Party City? Yeah, I mean, I have a relative who worked at Party City out of a job. Have a nice day. We know you've worked here for a long time. Bye. Big Lots again, 600. Oh, this is 2025.
Starting point is 00:13:49 So, yeah, okay. So Big Lots in 2024 shut down 500 stores. Now they're going to shut down 600 stores in 2025. Yeah, so they're shutting them all down. I can believe that they had, you know, 1,100 stores, something like that. Yeah, that makes sense. Walgreens are closing well over 300 stores. and maybe even more with the lawsuits that I see pending against that company.
Starting point is 00:14:14 7-Eleven is closing over 100 stores, almost 150 stores. Amazing. And Macy's has been a big story. They've been shutting down for a while. That is, they're looking at like 51 stores. I mean, then we have places like CNN. Is that still a network? Yes, yes it is.
Starting point is 00:14:35 CNN is saying that they're doing a little restructuring to its workforce. okay what does that mean well that means like uh you 200 people over there yeah you are restructured out the door okay have a nice day oh by the way uh jim ocosta uh you know how uh don't trump thinks you suck and hates you and you hate him right back and your show really is terrible anyway uh yeah i know we give you that 10 a m eastern slot on cnn you know i was reading this story. As I'm reading this, they're going down the shows, and I'm like, I have no idea. I've never, I've never seen these shows except for a clip or two from them when we air them. It's just, I mean, so Jim Acosta had his 10 a.m. slot. They're pulling that. He's out. And they're
Starting point is 00:15:24 telling him that, look, Jim, just like the congressman said, more people are watching you than, more people are watching SpongeBob SquarePants than are watching you. Okay. Well, I mean, That's a guest on his show. A guest on his show. You're letting people on your show telling you that more people are watching SpongeBob Squarepants? Holy cow. And he just lets him get away. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So they're replacing Jim's 10 a.m. Eastern slot with the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. Now Wolf has been there for 100 years. I can't believe they're moving him to a morning show, but maybe, you know, because they're sick of him in the afternoon. and Pamela Brown will probably run him off. Who knows? Audie Cornish will be getting her own morning show.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Okay, that's great. Who is she? We have no idea. Sources have told the independent sources. I've told that Acosta is pissed because they want him to work a midnight to two Eastern time, which would be nine or ten West Coast. You tell you what, Jim.
Starting point is 00:16:37 here's what we're going to do okay we know you're in Washington D.C and Trump hates you you hate Trump and we want to try to rebrand CNN a little bit so if you want to you know if you want to keep your job
Starting point is 00:16:52 move to L.A. and do your show from L.A. By the way, that's on fire. Just move to those studios over there. You can do it from over there. Don't worry about it. And then it'll be earlier so you'll only have to work at 10 o'clock at night in L.A. Or 9 o'clock, whatever it is, doesn't.
Starting point is 00:17:15 It's still nighttime in L.A. And then you still have a show. And you'll be on at midnight or 1 a.m. on the East Coast, which, you know, hopefully Trump won't be watching and beat you up on social media. Now, they're saying, now, Jim probably will quit, you know, unless he needs the gig. And if he needs the gig, then he'll do it. and he'll do it, you know, because the show needs a little bit of help. It's just him with his mug on the screen.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It's terrible. It's terrible. And he thinks he's so smart and it's just terrible. And that's CNN's problem. Now, there was a big kerfuffle over how the guy told them about it, Mr. CEO of CNN. They were a little pissed that the CEO came to tell them, yeah, we've got to do some restructuring.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah, you know, we did get a bunch of money like I don't know. How much do they get like I think 70 million? $70 million for the new digital side. So you people over here, you can apply. You can apply over here for the digital side. Digital side's got some money. But this side over here, ooh, yeah. The cable network.
Starting point is 00:18:28 No, sorry. Oh, yeah. No, we are rearranging our linear TV lineup. But we're building our digital subscription. subscription projects, because that's what people want to do is subscribe to CNN. And I think they called it in the story
Starting point is 00:18:44 CNN, CNN, CNN Max. I think maybe Max might have something to say about that. Isn't that trademark from them? I'm not sure. I thought HBO had that Mac. Oh, it's not HBO anymore. Jeff, shut up. It's just
Starting point is 00:19:01 Max. So be looking for CNN. Max. that's coming soon. And, you know, remember that they started CNN plus a couple years ago. How'd that go? Hey nobody got time for that? There's no doubt about that because they didn't.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And they just shut it, pulled the plug almost immediately on CNN Plus. But now it's going to be CNN Max. So we'll see what happens to CNN. I've got some ideas. If you want to call me, you want to email me, join the fat of the blaze.com. You can reach out to me.
Starting point is 00:19:44 You can direct message me on Instagram or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can, you know, direct message me on X as well at Jeffrey JFR. No problem. Probably can't afford my cheap cameos, but, you know, if you need one,
Starting point is 00:20:01 fine at Jeffie JFR. I'm happy to do it for you. not going to give you a discount. I'm happy to do it for you at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. It's not free, but it's not expensive either. I worked this tongue with a bone for that cameo, okay? So at Jeffey JFR on Cameo. And, of course, you could just email me,
Starting point is 00:20:23 Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Chewing the fat at theblaze.com. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So I guess congratulations are in order? Tennis player, Arena Rodanova. Arena Radinova. Radeova.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Okay, that's what I said. Arena Rodinoa. Is that right? Arena Rodionva. I'll never say that right. I'm going to need you to stick around for a little bit, okay? So she has now announced that she's getting a divorce. and she's been married for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:21:11 She's like former top 100 tennis player. Her husband that they met, shoot, I don't know, years ago in Australia, I think, because he's an Australian football player and she became an Australian citizen. All right. She's from Russia. And now they're getting a divorce. She's been estranged. I'm done with you guys.
Starting point is 00:21:36 and so she said, hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make. We're getting a divorce. So that's a good Instagram post. So if you follow. Arena radionova. You already know because you hit their Instagram post already revealed.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Hey, guys, we've got an announcement to make. We're getting a divorce. And so, so it says here, hubby, the former, Australian rules football player
Starting point is 00:22:09 was in the background of this Instagram post when they announced, hey guys, we got an announcement to make. We're getting a divorce on their Instagram. So I had to go to the Instagram for... Arena Radionova. So I went to her Instagram page. And it's the last post.
Starting point is 00:22:28 It's the last post that's still up. It's incredible. She's sitting there with hubby. Hubby's eating a banana through the whole thing. and it's right off the front, right off the bat, she says, Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make, we're getting divorced. I wanted to let wider community know about this. Yeah, of course, we just want to let everybody know.
Starting point is 00:22:52 We just want to let everybody know. We let everybody, you know, we let everybody else know first, but we want to let our community here on Instagram know. And there they sit. They're still laughing, so they're still friends. They just can't be married. Now, she apparently needs some money because the story actually is not about Arena getting a divorce. That's just part of the part of this story.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Because what the story is about is that Arena Radioniva has started an OnlyFans. And they're saying, hey, I guess you need some cash. So, I mean, is she worth an OnlyFans account? maybe not too bad I will say these pictures of her playing tennis are better than the Instagram
Starting point is 00:23:43 picture of her when she was telling us she needed a divorce but she still looks good she looks fine and so her Instagram I mean her only fans
Starting point is 00:23:55 is she said what could I say you know I'm a performer I've always been a performer yeah yeah what are you going to do what are you going to do when you get a divorce
Starting point is 00:24:04 you don't know what to do well, tell you what, let's just start in OnlyFans. So apparently she's got her account is $10 a month. Subscription, right? Because in OnlyFans, there's several different ways you can subscribe. You can do it monthly. You can do it where, and I think monthly still makes you pay separately for different, different levels of posts.
Starting point is 00:24:28 So she could still say, hey, you're a subscriber at $10 a month. This is what you get. My thigh. and then at but if you want to go to the VIP section of my only fans then then you're going to see you know where I used to keep the tennis balls and stuff like that I'm not telling her out to produce her own content I'm just saying you know what I'd be looking for if I was going to become a subscriber now they claim in this no I'm not not yet no oh hey arena arena arena Come here, baby.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I want to see them, baby. It's my serve now. Okay. All right, let's just stop. But I'm just saying that she, when they talk about her only fans, and she's gone nowhere. I mean, when this was,
Starting point is 00:25:24 when they did this story, it was $10 a month subscription rate. She says here that she had 67 subscribers. Okay. that's a little embarrassing 67 subscribers and at 10 bucks a month I mean
Starting point is 00:25:45 right but she had I mean it said comparatively she made $4,585 from tennis less than a month into 2025 yeah but that's you know
Starting point is 00:25:56 okay so she was and she may still start continue to play tennis and make a little cash the only fans is just there for fun and uh and does she get kicked out of the tour when she starts filming only fans on the court.
Starting point is 00:26:12 So I'm not telling you how to produce your content, though. I'm just saying, you know, tennis net and, you know, the judge's chair. Yeah, you know, you know what I'm saying. Your opponent's bench, your bench, coming out of the tunnel. You know what I'm saying. I think so.
Starting point is 00:26:38 But I'm not. I'm not telling you how to produce your content. That's not what I'm doing. You know, speaking of a private dancer, I know. You can use that music on the court. It's all just an idea. I'm not telling you how to produce your content. But I see where Tina Turner,
Starting point is 00:26:58 I mean, it's been a couple of years since Tina's died. Very sad. But we now have found some new music, amazingly, some previously unheard and unreleased song from the R&B and soul singer's vault from the Tina Turner Vault. Hot for you baby.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So there you go. It will appear on the 40th anniversary edition of Private Dancer, which was Turner's fifth studio album. Now this track was thought to be
Starting point is 00:27:35 lost in time. I know you want to play it. You're dying to play it. Just play it. Jeez. but off my back. This is a fresh chapter to the private dancer story. I know. Periphone Records was so happy to announce
Starting point is 00:27:50 in. I didn't realize this. What's Love got to do with it was her only number one single and that was from the private dancer album. She earned a Grammy. She was the oldest woman to appear on the Billboard Hot 100.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So the re-release of private dancer is on its way. In March, two years after her death, with the previously unheard. Are you playing the cut or what? Bring it up, let me. It's her only number one hit. The anniversary edition. Coming up in March.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And. I didn't realize I was going to want to hear this whole song, but I think I do now. Because the new song, Tina, do you mind? I'm talking about your new cuts, okay? I'll go ahead and wait for the chorus. Get to it! Think about it. My God, stop it.
Starting point is 00:29:35 The new song is hot for you, baby. Go ahead and use it, Eriana. It's all, it's on me. It's on me. And it's, you know, of course, Tina. With MX 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 00:30:08 That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Far be it from me to spread rumors. I mean, that's just crazy. But there's all kinds of rumors that I talked about at one point during Pat Unleashed program. And I believe I was doing a chewing the fat segment, Pat Unleashed.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I've been filling in for Pat all this. week. Thank you if you were been listening and coming along for the ride. I appreciate it. But the rumors of Barack Obama leaving Michelle, how they're separated. And everybody's saying the divorce is coming.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I don't think the divorce is coming. I think they just stay separated. However, you know, it was very, very interesting to see him not alone at Jimmy Carter's funeral. And I got it. She didn't want to go. She wanted to see Trump. I got the excuses, but then she didn't show up for the inauguration.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Everybody else, I mean, Bill and Hillary, George and, what's his wife's name again? Yeah, Laura. And, yeah, Laura even showed up. I mean, Joe and Jill showed up, but no Barack and Michelle, man. Michelle was nowhere to be found. Barack, we did his single walk in as, oh, no, I'd ring for President Barack. the honorable Barack Obama.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And so the rumor has it now. And I think everyone is talking about it because it started with one podcast that said this. And I think that it's all building on that. Because Jennifer has denied it on Kimmel's show, I think. But the rumor is that Barack and Jennifer Aniston
Starting point is 00:31:58 are seeing each other. And, you know, that would, that brings us. brings the divorce of Barack and Michelle. And Jennifer's taking care of, hooking up with Barack for a little bit. It will break the internet. A little Barack, it already is.
Starting point is 00:32:14 It already is. And Jennifer, and how do I know that? Because Jennifer has turned off her comments on her Instagram account. Yeah. Because they claim that there's leaked DMs confirming Barack leaving Michelle because of the affair. I doubt that. I will say that I watched her denial on Kimmel.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Jen, I don't care whether you're seeing Barack or not. I mean, you know, I hope everyone finds love. I do. And, you know, fine. You want to be with Barack. Barack wants to be with you.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I mean, I could understand Barack not wanting to be with Michelle. I can tell you that. But you're not going to go down that big Mike trail, are you? No. saying I can understand. I can understand. You know, let's go back. I mean, we could do some deep dives on the Obamas, but, you know, just
Starting point is 00:33:12 know that they're still looking for the chef that accidentally died on their property, but that's all. Don't worry about that. Anyway, I was just saying that I was watching, oh yeah, Jennifer on Kimmel, and I think it was Kimmel. It might have been out of the other Dufus that does the night show.
Starting point is 00:33:29 What's his name? Yeah, no, not Colbert. but the other one. No, not Seth Myers. The other one. Yeah, Fallon. No, it wasn't Fallon, so it was Kimmel. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Anyway, it doesn't matter. All I'm saying is, because this is directed at Jen. Okay. Jen, I love you. Okay. I'm a friend. No, really. I care.
Starting point is 00:33:51 But you're reaching the point now where you're hitting Cloud Face. Okay. I know, I know you've had, we all, I'm okay with the work you've had. I'm okay with all the work you've had. I get it. and you had some great work. But you're reaching the three cuts to conface. Okay?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Because I know you've probably had, I don't know, 20. But, uh, and plus the fillers and whatever all else you have had. I get, I get there's, there's more ways around just getting cut these days. I understand. But as I was watching the interview, hon, baby, uh, you're almost there. You're almost. You're almost there. I know you still want to be young, Jen.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And, you know, the hot, sexy Jen. And maybe that's what Barack likes. But, and I don't know if you call him Barack. Maybe you just call them B. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe you just call him Rack. B.O.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You don't call him B.O. Nobody calls it says B.O. You know, so I don't know what you call him. Maybe you just call him lovingly. Barack. But I don't know. I was saying the three cuts to conflays, you are starting to show. So as a friend, as a friend, I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:35:08 maybe you ought to knock it off, okay? Because, holy cow, starting to get a little frightening. Let's talk about, I usually try to, you know me, I don't like death, but I have to bring death to you from time to time. So there's a new report from Canada that said 15,000, Canadians lost their life while waiting for surgery or diagnosis in 2023, 2024. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Don't worry about it. That's fine. So it could be a lot more than that because the figure doesn't account for Quebec and Alberta. So they're talking about, well, it's probably more closer to 30,000. Oh. Okay. No problem.
Starting point is 00:35:58 So the freedom of information requests that brought this information to, the light highlights the failing health care system where patients often wait years for treatment. Yeah, I mean, that's why the Canadians come to Florida every year so that they have good medical treatment and then they go back to Canada. And so maybe that will end. Who knows with the COVID restrictions, they all had to stay in place and just been a nightmare in Canada. We should just take it over. Trump's right. Just take it over. We're going to take Greenland we might as well take Canada and we're going to take
Starting point is 00:36:35 Panama back and you know we're probably as long as we're taking Panama you know what Mexico is ours too and we'll just take it all that's it though we'll be done there
Starting point is 00:36:49 that's all it's all we need don't worry about it's the national security that's what we're it's for us for your safety so it's a good time to be in Canada
Starting point is 00:36:59 now I did not know this either okay that you can catch cancer I didn't know don't look at me like that I know I didn't know that you could catch cancer all right so a doctor and then this is I was thinking that maybe the cancer patient
Starting point is 00:37:15 you know come down you're going to give me cancer you know I thought maybe it was that but it wasn't it wasn't that so a doctor operating on a cancer patient and the cancer patient
Starting point is 00:37:30 said No, that's not the story. The cancer patient accidentally transplanted the disease into himself. Okay? So he, it's the first of his kind, they think.
Starting point is 00:37:47 The 32-year-old man from Germany had been diagnosed with the rare type of cancer and was having the tumor removed from his abdomen. And then while the surgery, while in surgery, I don't know that that actually happened. The doctor performing the procedure accidentally cut his hand. Okay, first let's stop here for a second.
Starting point is 00:38:10 We've got a surgeon accidentally cutting his hand taking out a tumor. I need a new doc. I need a second opinion. I mean, please. I mean, hopefully the patient was awake enough to. Yeah. But, you know, that didn't happen. So anyway, he accidentally cut his hand.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And they disinfected it and bandaged it immediately. Uh-huh. And then five months later, the surgeon noticed a small lump developing where he had injured himself months earlier during this surgery. And it turned out to be genetically identical to the cancer suffered by the patient. So holy cow. Right? It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.
