Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? 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! 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 1866-3-3-1-2-60 or visit comexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher In Minnesota, the great state of Minnesota, a 350-pound teacher has been charged after he allegedly used a sixth grade student as a stepping stool during a school safety drill.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Now, I'm not laughing at this whole thing. I'm kind of torn, actually, because the story talks about this 350-pound teacher. And I mean, who among us hasn't been 350 pounds in their life? No one, I know. But you can tell that this teacher, Jason Rogers, is overweight. And he confessed to standing on the boys' back. So they're doing this drill, and he told the boys to sit down.
Starting point is 00:01:24 and this particular boy decided that he was just going to lay down on his stomach instead of sitting down during this drill. So this teacher stepped on him for like 10 seconds. It was just a quick 350 pound. I don't think he jumped on him. I don't know that he could jump on him.
Starting point is 00:01:44 But apparently, the mother said that this has left her son badly injured. Has it? Okay, he was walking around like an 80-year-old man. from pain in his back. Was he? Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Authorities were only alerted of the ordeal after the boy was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries. Okay. Calm down. Now the boy told the cops his teacher stood on his back for roughly 10 seconds, causing him to cry out in pain. Yeah. Like, get off me!
Starting point is 00:02:19 Uh, uh, uh, The child did not know why the defendant did this. Yes, he did. He did not hear him say anything about it and just stepped on him like he was a stepping stool. He stated the entire class saw it and thought, oh, what happened? I wonder what's going on.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Now, with question about it, the teacher said, they said roughly weighs 350 pounds. So that means he's about 370, 372. allegedly admitted he did it because he didn't think the students were taking the drill seriously enough at the time. Multiple kids were lying on their stomachs and that he had warned them he could step on them in their current position. Rogers then allegedly put his foot on the injured students lower back and put his weight on him. Yeah, so he was telling him this is what could happen during this drill if you don't sit up. You need to sit up during the drill or you can get stepped on by anyone. but in particular, in particular me, I could step on you.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And that's what I'm going to do. So he was slapped with one gross misdemeanor count of malicious punishment of a child as a result. Malicious punishment of a child. Rogers has since put on paid administrative leave while the incident is investigated. This spokesperson for the Underwood Public School District said, so I mentioned the teacher I've stepped on this kid
Starting point is 00:03:54 no but this kid is not hurt that bad I'm sorry no but if the 300 almost 350 pounder
Starting point is 00:04:05 you know when somebody says yeah I'm about 350 pounds that's 370 believe me that's 370 do you want him
Starting point is 00:04:14 stepping on you no you do not yeah you are lying but that's it You're a kid You get up You move on We all see a slam into a wall
Starting point is 00:04:26 You keep walking But when the teacher You have a quick 370 Pounder step on you Ouch Yeah It's time We're gonna
Starting point is 00:04:35 There's a lawsuit involved Wow So You know For 10 whole second Well that could have felt like An eternity A giant
Starting point is 00:04:44 I'm stuck I'm stuck under this guy No he didn't know He's not going down who may have felt that way. So here's the deal. Tell your kids. When the school says, hey, we're going to do a drill.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Do the drill. Don't be a smart little punk and lay down in the hallway during the drill. Sit up like the teacher told you. Or else. Ouch. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So new.
Starting point is 00:05:26 legislation in Washington, D.C. that bans child marriage. Now, I didn't know that children could get married in Washington, D.C., but according to this advocacy group, Unchained at Last, which is a Jewish-led organization that opposes underage marriage, the new act establishes the minimum marriage age as 18 in Washington with no exceptions. So I guess before this, if you were 16 or 17, and maybe younger, but 16 or 17 anyway, with parental consent, you could get married. Oh, okay. So according to this, the data collected by unchained at last of them, 110 minors in D.C. were married between 2000 and in 2020.
Starting point is 00:06:20 So, okay. Now, according to this, 13 states and two U.S. territories say that they have banned child marriage outright. Ten more have laws pending that would
Starting point is 00:06:36 eliminate the practice. So, let's say, 23 states and two territories. Is that all the states in America? No, it is not. No, it is not. No, it is not. I'm sure they have, as long as you have your parents' consent, you're fine. You can marry it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So I guess there's an issue in the Jewish community where people, you know, the orthodox, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, that they believe that they set up these marriages, and they believe that the teens are forced to marry in this ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. and they get the parental consent because they're all involved is the whole big deal. So you can't do it anymore. It can't do it anymore in D.C.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Okay. If you're looking at that 16-year-old, you've got to wait a couple years, okay? Don't say anything out loud because you can be in trouble. So just keep it to yourself. When you see that 16 or 17-year-old, keep it to yourself.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Because now you wait to be able to. until they're 18. You don't need the parental consent, but you do need her consent. So that's a big part of this. What about her consent? So let's say you live in a state where teen marriage is not banned.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And you're thinking, holy cow, there's 13 states out there that actually ban it and there's 10 others that are going to ban it and there's two territories that have banned it. I need to move. that's what real estate agents I trust comes in because anytime you want to make a move it's hard
Starting point is 00:08:23 and that's especially true when you're planning to buy or sell a home or do both it's complicated. It takes a lot of time a lot of jumping through hoops and of course I mean financially speaking it's a big deal most of us have a lot of money
Starting point is 00:08:42 tied up in our homes and so you want someone who is going to help you out and knows what they're doing. That's where real estate agents, I trust, comes in.

Starting point is 00:09:35 Speaking of real estate, I see where Los Angeles has approved just four. Count them one, two, three, four building permits, 75. days after the fire devastation. So they're on it. Man, they are on it. So remember when Mayor Karen Bass issued the executive order that she claimed would clear the way
Starting point is 00:10:01 for Los Angeles residents to rapidly rebuild their homes they lost in the ongoing firestone. And she wanted to lay the foundation for businesses to plan their rebuild. President Trump was there saying, yes, to get going. These people want to get going. They just
Starting point is 00:10:17 want to get in there and clean out their property and get to rebuilding. Well, they've approved four. Four building permits in 75 days. So is that moving fast enough for everyone? Because I feel like the answer to that is, um, no. I mean, just lie to everybody's face and then, you know, we've got to have government overreach in everything.

Starting point is 00:14:39 So, I mean, I'm on those events, but you can follow me there. It all started with just telling you to buy a cameo from me, would you? At Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. I was on X yesterday, and I saw a post from Zach Stewart. He pays Elon.
Starting point is 00:14:54 He's got a blue check. At right wing dad is what his handle is. and I have talked about this forever at different times, but he puts it so well, and I'm guessing he wrote it himself. He didn't use, I don't know that he used GROC. I didn't know if he used chat, GPT, whatever, but I'm going to read it to you because it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And he's talking about the film Titanic, and he's talking about maturity and how, what happens when you are mature. Maturity is realizing that in the film Titanic, Rose decides to throw away a 250, and if you haven't seen the movie, this is going to be, there's going to be some,
Starting point is 00:15:35 I'm going to break some news for you, okay, and I'm going to spoil it for you. So, sorry. All right. In the movie, in the film, Titanic, Rose decides to throw away a $250 million pendant in memory of an unemployed man she slept with exactly once.
Starting point is 00:15:51 A man who never even owned the necklace. She completely disregards the fact that the explorer who brought her to the wreck, had built his entire career around finding that necklace, yet she held onto it for decades. On the off chance she'd end up at the wreck site again just to chuck it into the ocean for no good reason and croaks in his bed and then goes and waltzes past her husband in the afterlife to meet up with her three-day fling. Meanwhile, she conveniently leaves out the part where she let Jack, the three-day love of her life,
Starting point is 00:16:27 freeze to death because she couldn't scoot over a bit on that giant door. Oh, and maybe just maybe her husband of many years might have liked to know he'd been hanging on to a $250 million necklace all that time. How about her granddaughter who's been caring for her? An early retirement fund, anyone? The real villain of Titanic. Not Cal. Not even the iceberg.
Starting point is 00:16:53 It was Rose. Still love that movie now? Oh, 100% correct. Zach Stewart at right-wing dad. Amen. I mean, there are movies that we can talk about that may, you know, appear different in real life than what they really are.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Like Forrest Gump, I love the movie. Titanic, I love that movie. And for whatever reason, you know, I loved it. But I get it. And that's exactly, you know, I remember the first time going, no, she's not going to throw it away. No, don't throw it away. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:17:40 I mean, seriously, that's the only thing that really bugged me about that entire movie. But when you get to movies like Forrest Gump, I love Forrest Gump. I watch that movie. If it's on, I'm watching it. No question. But, you know, there's some out there that talk about explain a film plot badly. And they're talking about Forrest Gump. Drug Addicted Girl takes advantage of mentally challenged
Starting point is 00:18:02 boy for three decades. I mean, you know what I'm saying. And then there's one that talks about who really loved Forrest Gump more, the drill sergeant or the girlfriend, and, you know, the drill sergeant who called Forrest a genius. You're goddamn genius.
Starting point is 00:18:22 That's the most outstanding answer I've ever heard. You must have a goddamn IQ of 160. Wishes he could recommend Forrest for the OCS. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted men, I'd recommend you for OCS Private Gump. Tells Forrest he's going to be
Starting point is 00:18:39 a general someday. You are going to be a general someday gum. I mean, oh, did I spoil the movie for you? Oh, no, I'm sorry. And then, or wasn't the girlfriend who loved him more? The one that left Forrest to go do drugs and all other
Starting point is 00:18:55 self-destructive things only stays with Forrest because she needs to help with this kid that she accidentally birthed. I mean, who loved it more? Who loved him more? That's the question. And I think we all know the answer to that. All right, let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, well, we got the news. The Sundance Film Festival is leaving Park City, Utah. And they're headed to who's fortunate enough. to be able to host the Sundance Film Festival other than Park City. They've been with Park City for many, many years. Now it's going to Boulder, Colorado. Boulder, Colorado.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Congratulations. Well, not right now right away in 2017. It was, man, it was a process to find a new home that can accommodate the buzzy event. I mean, they've been in Park City for 40. years. That's a long time. That was their deal. That was their deal,
Starting point is 00:20:08 is the Sundance. And so now, I mean, do you go to Park City for any reason? It's a ski resort, Jeff. It's beautiful. It's everything you want out of a city. Again, I ask,
Starting point is 00:20:21 would you go there for any reason? I mean, I guess to get away. But, wow. I mean, okay, congratulations anyway for Boulder, Colorado, getting it right and bringing Sundance home to Boulder
Starting point is 00:20:37 I mean it's legal to smoke pot in Colorado right I think Colorado is are they a free THC smoking pot state pretty sure they are yeah I'm pretty sure they are pretty sure let's go see a movie Sundances here we can go party with Sundance and see some of the stars coming in and we could just be
Starting point is 00:21:02 what movie are we going to go see see, we're going to go see Rocky Mountain High, dude. I mean, I can understand why they picked Poulter. It looks like big changes coming to the old Dollar Tree family dollar stores.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Dollar Tree is now selling off the family dollar stores for about a billion dollars. To a private equity firm, Brigade Capital Management and McCellum Capital Management, love them.
Starting point is 00:21:38 They're purchasing family dollar and the company Dollar Tree estimated about $804 million in net proceeds from the sale, which expected, you know, that's expected to happen in a couple of months from now. Remember this is the, remember when Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar and that was the story we did where the guy said that it was like one of his was a terrible mistake, right? He shouldn't have done it. So, because it was admitted to challenging retail climate. and there was a big, big competition from Amazon and Timo.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And so he's got it off his back now. That's great. Dollar Tree closed about 600 family dollar stores in 2024, had plans to close another $3.70. They were going to close a few Dollar Tree stores as well when the leases came up, so they were just not going to renew the leases. So here we go. There are big changes coming to Dollar.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Dollar trees will soon be the $20 tree. well dollar tree was the dollar oh yeah dollar tree was the dollar stores family dollar was just a regular store with regular prices some of the stuff was cheaper but the the dollar tree stores where that's where everything was a dollar and yeah now it's just dollars tree right maybe it's just tree we shop at the tree oh okay
Starting point is 00:23:02 all right no problem really that's what we're doing doing yeah that's what we're doing okay all right if you say so another bad move from a company i think and i almost put this in who died today but because they're but they're not dead yet so you know i can't put them in who died today but i read a story where hooters says that they are planning to end bikini night because they want to make their restaurants more family friendly as part of the change turnaround effort uh the turnaround effort should be hooters going back to what they're known for.
Starting point is 00:23:40 They're not, that's fine. Your family, family, you can bring your kids in. No problem because all that's there are these hot girls waiting on you in Hooters outfits, right? That's what they're known for. You watch sports and you have hot girls in Hooters outfits bringing you food and drink.
Starting point is 00:23:56 That's what they, that's what they're based on. So let's turn the company back to the way it was based. But no. But no, you don't want to do that because why? How dare you? Yeah, thank you. That's why.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Exactly right. And if they were to go back to the hot girls in the Hooters' outfits, maybe you get rid of bikini night. I mean, I'm okay with that. I get the specific bikini night. But until you bring back hot girls in the Hooters outfits, bringing me wings and beer to watch a sporting event, let's not get rid of a bikini night
Starting point is 00:24:39 because just because you want the turnaround effort for the family-friendly atmosphere. Yeah, now maybe you rethink the whole thing and instead of trying to make it back to family friend really with hot girls in Hooters' outfits bringing you drinks and food, but you just get rid of everything and you bring back it's bikini night,
Starting point is 00:25:00 mud wrestling, midget bowling, every night. Wet t-shirt contests. Yeah. I'm sure you can have rock radio stations hosting the wet t-shirt concerts and bikini night and to your heart's content
Starting point is 00:25:13 and you'll be able to bring in the customers that way but that's not a family-friendly event Jeff. Okay, I'm sorry. You know, speaking of food though, you know, there's some food news for you. All right, and food news today. We have the Cheesecake Factory announced that they are eliminating 13 menu items
Starting point is 00:25:35 including the low-eastern, mashed potato omelet and the skinnylicious spicy shrimp pasta. Now let me ask you a question. Just between you and me. All right? You mean in a fence post. If Cheesecake Factory just got rid of the mashed potato omelet and the skinny delicious spicy shrimp pasta and didn't say anything,
Starting point is 00:26:00 just took it off the menu. Would you notice? I mean, they bring out an encyclopedia. of a menu. I just, that one guy that comes in and says,
Starting point is 00:26:13 you know, I'm really hungry for the skinny-licious spicy shrimp pasta. Yeah, we don't have that anymore for you, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Sorry. You're going to have to move on. Sorry. And I saw Taco Bell adding a new item that you can
Starting point is 00:26:26 order from their robots at the drive-thru. It looked really good too. And I don't know. I hope it's true. They say that it's going to be,
Starting point is 00:26:34 it's going to go live. New York City. I hope it, you know, moves across the country. The salted caramel and toffee cream empanata bite. Oh, man. Yes, I'd like a dozen of those. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Don't worry. I understand. All right. So give me 10. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber. Eats, but iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Gold tenders, no, but

Order Uber Eats now. For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Okay, who died today? Well, as I talked about during my fat five segment during Pat Unleashed this morning, which you can hear on Wednesday and Friday. We do a chewing the fat, either
Starting point is 00:27:59 a full chewing the fat segment or a full fat five on the other days that I'm on the Pat Gray Unleashed program. Clive Revelle. Clive Revelle died. He, you don't know who he is? Oh my gosh. He is the voice behind Emperor Palpatine
Starting point is 00:28:16 and the Empire strikes back. There is a great disturbance. in the force. I have felt it. We have a new enemy. Luke Skywalker. That bastard. Yes, my master.
Starting point is 00:28:31 He could destroy us. He's just a boy. Will be one can no longer help him. He was 94. Rest in peace. I don't need the whole dialogue. My gosh, copped down. I don't know how they found out he died.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I've really torn on this because the daughter I mean, I know how they found out he died. The nursing home he was at called and said, hey, your dad's dead. So why don't you come and do something, all right? I mean, move his stuff out of here. But the story talks about how the daughter confirmed his passing to the Hollywood reporter.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So I don't know if the Hollywood reporter called and said, hey, we want to talk to your dad. how do we get a hold of your dad? And she said, now you can't. He's dead. Or if she called the Hollywood reporter and said, yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:26 this is Katie Revelle as well as you know, my dad is dead. And that's probably what happened. So that she got the news out there. I mean, he did a lot of it. He did some great work. He worked with Lawrence Olivier for the years.
Starting point is 00:29:37 He did some great stuff. He also was the voice of Alfred, the Butler on Batman, the animated series. Really, really got. I mean, the guy had some great voice work. He was really struggling the last few years battling dementia. And so I don't wish that anyone's rest in peace to the voice behind Emperor Palpatine
Starting point is 00:30:03 and Alfred de Butler on Batman, Clive Revelle, dead at the age of 94. Then we have former New England Patriot Matt Stevens. Former New England Patriots Matt Stevens dead at the age of 50. There was no mention of the cause of death. So, I mean, he's got a wife and kids, and he was living. It says here they were living in Durham after his retirement. He was doing competitive shooting. I don't know if that was a cause.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I don't know. I don't know. Could be. It doesn't say. It just says no cause was made public. So rest in peace to Matt Stevens. dead at the age of 51. Then we have author L.J. Smith.
Starting point is 00:30:58 L.J. Smith. You know her. She created the Vampire Diaries. The whole book series that inspired the C.W. drama. I mean, it was, I mean, yeah, a lot of people just love that show. I know. She passed away, sadly, at the age of 66. She had, according to this,
Starting point is 00:31:19 a long bout with illness. So I'm not sure quite what that was. Oh, the hearing family member says she endured cascading effects of a rare autoimmune disease. Wow. For the last 10 years. Really sad. So she created this great thing and then she had to go through all this suffering. It's a tradeoff.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It's a tradeoff. Rest in peace. To L.J. Smith. dead at the age of 66. Then we have at least six people who have died, unnamed, and a number of others who were injured after a submarine
Starting point is 00:32:02 carrying dozens of tourists sank off Egypt's Red Sea coast yesterday. Now that's what I want to do is go on vacation and let's take a sub ride, shall we? Look at the coral. It's beautiful. Officials said 39 people, were rescued with the report suggesting that at least two of the victims were children. Really sad.
Starting point is 00:32:24 So the region of the Red Sea, and I don't have to tell you this, it's renowned for its coral reefs. And the bottleneck-like geography has created a marine ecosystem where, I mean, it's just nearly 15% of corals and mollus and fishes in the sea are found nowhere else in the world. And it's beautiful. And that's what you want to do is you want to go down in a sub and look at all that. And that's what you do. So officials believe that the vessel may have lost pressure after inadvertently colliding with a reef, sinking to the sea floor about a half a mile off the coast. The operating company, Send Bad Resorts, claims to have had two of just 14 tourist submarines in the world.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah, and they've been doing this for a while. this marks the second major in seafaring tourist vessel in Egypt to sink in the recent months remember they had that sightseeing trip where 11 people were dead there in Egypt but not the sub I was reading and maybe it was this story
Starting point is 00:33:27 from the BBC where they quoted one guy that had just returned from there and he was talking about going out the sub trip now that's a wrong way. It's the wrong way. That is not
Starting point is 00:33:42 the carbon line. It's below the ocean. This is where we go. So they go down, they go down about 65 feet, normally, between 40 and 65 feet. And you look at the coral. And the doc was saying, this guy, yeah, here it is. Oh, there it is. Yeah, it was from the BBC. Dr. James Aldridge
Starting point is 00:34:03 from Bristol took the same trip on the submarine in February of this year. So just the last month. and he said the sub was well maintained and was as shown in the promotional photos fresh paint modern equipment with attentive and professional english speaking staff including two divers to accompany you down said the passengers listened to a safety briefing which had been recorded in multiple languages said the life jackets were uh that life jackets were not issued oh okay uh we toured the reef for 40 minutes uh for the first 20 i was facing
Starting point is 00:34:40 the reef the sub never strayed too close and I never felt unsafe for the return trip I was facing the ocean oh look at that some more water but anyway so it's just a tourist it's all this is just a tourist ride in a sub looking at the coral reefs and uh look at that mullusk there you don't see that mullusk anywhere else but there carbon line no it's not the carbon line now I will say this I don't know what the record is for biddeness under the sea all right so I mean, undersea business is possible. And maybe Sinbad subs has the record. I don't know what it is, but it is not the Carmen line.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I'm sorry. You know, it could be in the ocean line or the Susie line. Now, the audio, this audio could actually happen in a sub. It didn't, but it could. No description. Do you get this feeling of euphoria in a sub? some. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:35:45 So we got the Pope back rolling around the Vatican and then we find out that King Charles was admitted to the hospital yesterday. Now he's back home now. He's back at the what is it, the Clarion House or wherever the heck it is, he stays.
Starting point is 00:36:02 No, that's not the king. I'll do it. I want to do the king music. Is that the royal music? I feel like that's for the President of the United States. Yeah, that's President of the United States. Thank you. That's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I need the royal. Thank you. I don't know that this is for the king either, but we'll just live with it. Anyway, he's back home at where they sent him out. We went into the hospital, and he required a brief stay for some observation, and then they kicked him out. They didn't even want him at the hospital anymore. They said it was temporary side effects from this cancer treatment that he's going through. and they said, yeah, why don't you go on back to Clarence House,
Starting point is 00:36:54 and we'll send somebody over later, okay? You're the king. You've got to go to the hospital. Now, he also had some things that he had to reschedule, because he's a busy band. And so, according to his due people, his majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Thank you. Also, we found out yesterday that ESPN as ending their L.A.-based sports center. So the people who have been working in L.A. at ESPN? Yeah. We'll do it. You've got to come to Bristol, Connecticut, though. Boy, you want to talk about a lifestyle shock. Yeah, I'm living in L.A.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I'm doing Sports Center here, and now I have to go to Bristol, Connecticut. Wow. Now, they're still going to do some NBA stuff, I think, at their building in L.A. But the Los Angeles-based Sports Center and Soccer Studio is, we're not doing that anymore. We're pulling the plug on that. So that's about 229 employees in the West Coast Production Center. Okay. Let's see what happens. But holy cow. If you're working in L.A.
Starting point is 00:38:19 And they tell you you got to go to Bristol, Connecticut. Good luck. Good luck. God bless. I do not envy you. I mean, you got a job. You need to do it. I understand. And you're still doing the same job just in Connecticut instead of Los Angeles. But whatever.
Starting point is 00:38:39 That's fine. And I see where Gary Danielson, the CBS Sports College Football analyst, He's saying that this year is going to be his last year. Oh, darn the luck. We won't have Gary to kick around anymore. So according to him, this was just the right time. It's time for me to move on. And former Tennessee volunteer football player, Charles Davis,
Starting point is 00:39:05 will be replacing Danielson as the lead analyst for CBS sports college football. And CBS does Big Ten. So Charles, I don't know if you know, Tennessee's in the SEC. So he's going to be doing the big 10 games. So good move. We'll get Gary won last season. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I know. Dry your eyes. And we got news of another retirement as well. Jim Nance, the stud Jim Nance of an announcer. He does the Masters, right? He's already retired from doing college basketball's final four. And he doesn't do,
Starting point is 00:39:47 he does the NFL stuff, right? he's the NFL coverage, working with Tony Romo. But he was asked about doing the Masters, and he's done it since like 1986. I mean, he's done it a long time. And Nancy is like 65 now. So he's, you know, people are asking, hey, winner, you know, you're thinking about retiring,
Starting point is 00:40:06 what are you thinking about doing? And according to Jim, if all the stars are aligned right now, it feels a pretty good exit point would be April 14th, 2036. So that's when he's scheduled his retirement date. Now, I know that sounds so far away, 2036, but really it's 11 years, right? And so he's 65 now. He'd be what, 76, 77? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. It just calls the Masters, and that's the day after the Masters, calls the Masters and retires. I mean, that's a way to go out. We're rooting for you, Jim. We're rooting for you.
