And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Blaze Radio Network And now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

All right, this cannot stand, if true. I believe now that we are seeing, we know about shrinkflation, and we know that packages are smaller than what they used to be. We know that particular products are smaller than what they used to be. But now there's a controversy

that Oreo is putting less cream to cookie ratio. in their cookies. This cannot be. I will not stand for that. We will pick it outside the Oreo plants around America if this is true. They also say now that the double stuff Oreos are not actually doubled stuff. They're less than double stuff. I mean, okay, that I believe to be probably true because they'll just say, well, we call it double stuff. That doesn't mean it's actually double stuff. Okay. It's your fault that you think it would actually be double stuff. But if we're putting less cream and just a regular Oreo, that will not stand. Now, they have answered the company. And they have said, well, look, we have tried a number of strategies to recently offset the rising costs of cocoa and sugar, such as offering fewer discounts and shrinking packages sizes. Right. We know that. It's called shrinkflation. But the company denied skimping on the cream filling. He said, this was the CEO, Dirk Vandaput.

He said that we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. And I'm assuming that Dirk Vandiput is a heap. We would be shooting ourselves in the foot if we would start to play around with the quality. Okay. They also blame the possible irregularities on manufacturing at individual cooking plans. So, yeah, it might be happening, but it's not from the top level. we're saying no don't do that this is absolutely happening

and it pisses me off we can't we cannot stand for that this is a good way for companies to make money and even if they do it say every other order right that's a lot that's a lot of stuffing that's a lot of money back to the company and now now they I mean we look at the smaller sizes

for sure I mean the larger box used to be a net weight of 566 grams and now it's only 530 grams It's just incredible. We get that with products, you know, all over now on every shelf in America. But we still expect the same amount of goodies inside the particular product. And if that is actually getting shorted, that means they're lying to us.

And that will not stand. So, yeah. Yeah, Oreo. I used to work for you. I'm a former employee. We can't have that. We just cannot have that. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Things that make you go, huh. So Stalantis just, you know, renegotiated their deal with UAW along with Ford and General Motors. And they're paying their workers, you know, more money and everything is beautiful now, right? Right. Now we find out that Stalantus is saying, yeah, you know, the 12,700 non-union office staff we have, we're going to offer voluntary separation packages to more than half of you. We want more than half of you gone.

Okay, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the new UAW deal or the more money that they're paying the UAW workers or the sales that are not happening for their new vehicles. I'm sure it has nothing to do with that. But it is interesting, isn't it? and it does make one go, hmm. I did see where Honda raised its worker pay by 11% after

Toyota granted similar wage increases, and that, you know, both happened after the UAW deal. But then I see where Fisker reports wider than expected losses underwhelming deliveries for the third quarter. Huh. Electric Vehicle Startup Fisker on Monday

reported a third quarter loss that was wide. wider than Wall Street expected. Huh. So people aren't buying the electric vehicles, especially from Fisker, but all of the companies are really facing wider than expected losses.

Incredible. But that's not going to stop Exxon, though, because now Exxon aims to be the major lithium producer for EV batteries. Oh, that's nice. Exxon now revealed that they planned to become the top, lithium supplier by 2030.

They're preparing to establish a production facility in Arkansas that uses a novel extraction method. This could signal a shift in the industry since most lithium, an important component in electric car batteries, currently comes from Australia and South America and gets processed in China.

Exxon expects to start production by 2027 and to have enough to power 1 million EVs by the year of 2030. So if that gets us out of China, great. But I find that difficult to believe. But again, just things that make you go,

huh. As long as we're on the subject of, I've had this in the fat pile for quite a while, and I keep meaning to get to it. Eddie Bauer has now changed its logo. And according to headlines, they changed their logo because Gen Z doesn't really read cursive. So it used to be written out,

you know, E-D-D-I-E-B-A-U-R, Eddie Bauer. That was the signature of the designer. Well, now it's just a, you know, straight, blocky text and a goose. I don't know why it has to have a goose, but I guess everyone has to have some kind of animal logo for themselves. So they, it's not just a goose, though. It's a, the bird is accompanied by the simplified version of the brand name, now written in all caps block lettering.

So they got rid of the cursive edge. Eddie Bauer that they've had for 59 years. Hmm. Just something that makes you go, huh, huh. It probably has nothing to do with schools not teaching handwriting, cursive handwriting anymore. And, you know, I don't know.

What does that mean for note-taking? Everybody types it out on their phone or their laptop signatures, you know, are done by a computer. I don't know. There's going to be historical records and manuscripts. Who's going to read those? You want to teach your kids something? teach him how to read cursive writing.

But anyway, it's just something that makes you go, huh. A couple more things that make you go, huh? I mean, it's tough to find good work these days. You can't find anybody to do anything. Last week we talked about the two old guys digging up a grave in Missouri, and they were charged because you can't dig up a grave in Missouri without some kind of paperwork from the king. They said that they wanted to move their grandmother's body to someplace else,

and they hired someone to do. do it and then they got ripped off. Again, they hired someone to do it and they got ripped off. They couldn't get the job done. Well, then we have the story of this son of a prominent former Hollywood exec,

and he hired people to haul away bags of body parts that he said were rocks. And the people who said they'd do it for money came back and said, yeah, no, we're not doing that.

The bags weighed about 50 pounds each, and he said, we stopped to look inside the bags and found body parts. I started seeing body parts, a belly button. I was astonished, and I felt bad. We had been tricked. You had been tricked. You were paid to move the bags. You weren't paid to be looking inside to see what they were.

So they returned the bags to Haskell, as well as the money. Haskell is the son of the former Hollywood execs Samuel Haskell, 35. Now, he's since been arrested. and suspected of murder after surveillance footage showed him placing a large heavy garbage bag into the same dumpster where a torso was found. Wow. Now, the torso is yet to be identified, but his wife and her parents are all missing. It's not funny. It makes you go, huh.

And they're all missing along with two vehicles, so we don't know. It could be gone. So apparently a homeless person. digging through the dumpster found the torso and the police showed up and then the home which belongs to haskell was searched police found blood they learned that haskell lived at the home with his wife and in-laws of three children the children have been located and are currently in the care of family members now the day laborers said they paid him five that he paid him 500 bucks to take away three large trash bags from his home claiming they were again full of rocks and then they looked

into the bag and they brought it back brought the bags back and gave the money money back according to the day laborers and this so now they have the footage of him removing a large trash bag into a dumpster and you cannot find good help today you just can't find good help and it's just something else that makes you go huh all right let's go the break room i need something cold to drink desperately Scam alert. I saw this on X. You can follow me on X at Jeffie JFR.

You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can always email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. And you can always order a cameo from me at Jeffey JFR on Cameo. That's not free, but you go to Cameo and you order the Camio, and you order the cameo, you ask, you know, you tell them what you, just give me the information,

whether you want me to be happy, glad, sad, mad, mean, whatever you need, and then I do it for you, and we all get what we want. You know, you get the video, a cameo gets their cut, I get my cut. This is just almost like a pimp and the person who works for the pimp, and the person who is looking for the hooker. It's almost like that. I can't stop promoting it like that because it's just funny to me. Anyway, scam alert that I read on X. I was posted by James Woods, the actor at Real James Woods. And he claimed on his post that this is a well-documented scam.

Beware. And it sounds like a scam that's been happening for some time. So just know that it happens and remember when this happens in your life. When you answer your phone, okay? I just got a call from a 304 area code, thinking it was someone I know in West Virginia. I answered. It was a man claiming to be from customer service. They didn't say what company, only customer service.

The first thing he asked was, can you hear me? I remembered something I saw on Facebook saying people are calling and asking if you can hear them, then using the recording of your yes reply as a way to sign up for all kinds of stuff. So I replied, I hear you, to which he again asked, so you can hear me? And I said, I hear you. The man on the other end said, I just need a yes or a no. Me, I hear you, man on the other end hangs up. So just remember, when you get those calls like that from area codes, first of all,

I would advise you that unless you know the number, don't pick it up. Just let it go to voicemail. I don't care, you know, if you, if everyone can have their phone. number wherever they want these days so you're getting scam calls from the area code of your phone not necessarily the area that you live and so I would just be you know when you get phone calls a lot of times now my when calls come through it'll say scam alert or it'll say verified or whatever I don't care what it is if you don't come up on my phone I'm not answering it just leave a message because I'm not I'm not doing it just not doing it so I would advise that from me

You do what you want to do. But if you get a call like that and you pick it up, say you go, oh, that's probably, it's probably Millie. And you pick it up and it's not Millie and it's some person from customer service. Don't say, yes, I can hear you. Don't do it. Because that seems like a scam that's ripped a lot of people off. So be careful out there, okay?

And just to be clear, this is not a scam I would do. Okay. A lot of scams. I feel good about it. I'm like, oh, that's a good idea. somebody needs to do that. Not this, though. Not this. I tell you, Italian prisons must be the place to be in prison. So, an Italian man, convicted of knifing his girlfriend to death. I mean, it was a horrible crime.

He is now being released from prison because he's too fat. I know. That's a good thing, man. Now, how do you get too fat in prison is my question. All right? So he was convicted. in 2019. All right. He was 260 pounds. He was sentenced to 30 years on the murder conviction. Because of delays caused by COVID,

he did not begin serving his term until April of 2022. Over the past year, his weight has ballooned to more than 440 pounds. So now he's going to be released from prison on medical grounds. The court ruled that, the fat guy convict could no longer remain behind bars because he's incompatible with the prison regime due to his heft which makes it difficult for him to get around without a wheelchair or crutches he is also a chain smoker so he gets to chain smoke and just eat all he wants in prison that's a good that's a good prison i i like that how come we don't have him on some sort of

regimented eating and drinking and smoking campaign i don't know that i don't have any idea why that happened, but now he's going to be on house arrest. I'm sure the family of the girl that he murdered is really, really happy about it. But it's a good gig. His defense lawyer said he suffers from several medical conditions, including anxiety. Oh, I'm sorry, anxiety, depressive, bulimia syndrome, personality disorder, and sleep apnea. Doctors weighed in on the high risk of cardiovascular disease, and he needs. to follow a special diet that the prison in Turin cannot provide.

And the court judges agreed. And what he needs cannot be provided in prison. So if you get stuck having to go to prison in Italy, make sure that you are suffering from anxiety, depressive bulimia syndrome, personality disorder, and sleep apnea, and then just stuff your face with food and chain smoke cigarettes, and you're out.

You'll be on house arrest in no time. Oh, speaking of crime, remember the Rose Bowl theft when Colorado was playing UCLA, and the Colorado Buffalo's players discovered that their jewelry had been stolen from their visiting locker room, and they didn't know who stole the jewelry,

and it was unknown until this weekend when Pasadena police confirmed the suspects tied to the theft were high school recruits on an official visit to UCLA. Wow. So UCLA had high school recruits, which all universities do. They bring in recruits to show them off,

show off their program, and they take them out to dinner, and they put their face up on the screen, and they bring them in and say, hey, become part of UCLA. Sometimes they might make an offer for a scholarship. Other times they may not. It just depends on if you,

you feel like the right fit or are the right fit for that school. I'm guessing these players are not the right fit for any university at this time. The Pasadena Police revealed the high schoolers took thousands of dollars of valuables from both the locker rooms. So Prime was right when he said he had heard that UCLA got robbed as well because they did. They took jewelry headphones, cash. And the names, of course, of the juveniles haven't been released. Yeah, we don't want to know them.

UCLA knows who they are, but reports suggest that they attend Beaumont High School Riverside County. So the stolen items, some of the stolen items have been recovered and returned, and now they're working to further investigate the robbery. So we know now what happened to the Colorado stuff and the UCLA stuff in the locker room during the game of the Colorado Buffaloes and the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl on October 28th. The high school recruits

on a visit to UCLA went into the locker rooms and stole all this stuff. Wow, really, really, things that make you go, huh. And as long as we're talking about sports, I see where ESPN is going to launch the ESPN bet

in 17 states today, hoping to, you know, I guess, break through, the sports betting market, its partner Penn Entertainment will pay ESPN $2 billion in cash and stock over the next 10 years to slap ESPN branding on its online and brick and mortar operation, previously known as Barstool Sportsbook. Penn ended a similar agreement with Bar to Bar to Spartus, I can't even say their stupid name, Barstool Sports to team up with ESPN and looks to be chasing its losses.

The company left its bar stool partnership $923 million in the role, according the information filed with the SEC. The Securities and Exchange Commission, not the Southeastern Conference. So we'll see what happens. ESPN bet in 17 states. I mean, they've got the market share. I mean, look, Fanduel has got a 36% market share, draft kings, 33%, and then there's everyone else. So ESPN bet is acquiring Barstools 3% share thinking that it's going to be able to flourish.

And Fox bet, the sports betting venture of another TV network and other sports books closed up because they can't go up against Fanduil and Draft Kings. And then I think there's what the MGM won. I see the FGM and everyone wants a piece of the gambling money. But you got to get it. So is ESPN going to be able to pull that off? probably. I mean, because they're going to be able to advertise and have their host talk about it and make it a bigger deal.

And it will be ESPN bet all over that network. So there you go. If you want to lose your money gambling, good luck. I just saw they did still a big story about how this guy had the big parlay down in Florida and won $5.5 million. I'm sure we'll see all kinds of stories like that from ESPN. just as a coincidence. Just a total coincidence, talking about how people are winning big money on their parleyes. And it just happens to be for the NFL. And I'm sure you could probably do those parlays on ESPN bet.

So apparently this guy in Florida won $5.5 million on a $500,000 four-leg NFL parlay with the newly reopened hard rock sports book. When Texans kicker, yeah, okay, so his parley, was the Houston Texans to beat the Cincinnati Bengals, the Texan Bengals to go over 44.5 points, Texans running back Devin and the Singletary to score a touchdown and Singletary to go over 51.5 rushing yards. And it all happened.

So, congratulations to him for winning $500,000, or $5.5 million on a 500,000 four-leg NFL parlay. Yeah, I mean, I don't have the 500,000 to bet on that parlay. probably there's probably people that bet on that parlay that made a lot less because they didn't have the $500,000. But good luck. Good luck to all of you that want to try to gamble and make big money because you can do it. Right? Right.

Who died today? Who died today? Kevin Turin. Kevin Turin, T-U-R-E-N, producer on Euphoria and The Idol, dies at 44. He also produced Ty West critically acclaimed slasher films X and Pearl and pieces of a woman. He produced, as I said, Euphoria and the Idol. Spokesman for Penske Media Group, the parent company of the Hollywood Reporter, who is reporting this story, said, confirmed the death and said that no other

details were immediately available. So it's not that. Otherwise, they would have said it, right? Stop looking at me like that. It can't be that. Otherwise, they would have said it. All they said was no other details were immediately available. So Kevin Duren, rest in peace, dead at 44. So Delta Airlines in the news. First, we have a, well, a former Delta pilot now. He has been indicted after threatening to shoot the captain of the plane that he was co-piloting. The pilot Jonathan Dunn was indicted by a grand jury in Utah over allegedly threatening to shoot the captain if the plane was diverted

after a passenger experienced a medical emergency. He didn't care. He wanted to get where we were supposed to get. We have a medical emergency. I don't care. Do not divert this plane. Now, he was authorized at the time to carry a firearm through TSA's federal flight deck officer program. You know, that was introduced after 9-11 to protect the cockpit from potential hijackers.

And so he was indicted after disrupting the crew of the commercial airline flight by using a dangerous weapon to assault and intimidate the captain. Okay. So his arraignment was reportedly delayed due to his employment with the U.S. military as an Air Force Reserve Lieutenant. All that's gone away now. he's removed from the TSA flight deck officer program so you know that's happening but I will say

in the Air Force said he's been barred from accessing sensitive information uh-huh but we'll see we'll see if that's true or not so he could face 20 years in prison wow that's amazing he's going to be arraigned in a couple of days in the US district court in Salt Lake City

yeah you can't be doing that now what if he said hey, I got to get home. I know this guy, there was a medical emergency, but I had to get home. My wife was having a baby. My mom was dying. I didn't want to divert the plane. It was going to screw everything up. I don't know.

I don't know why. What the excuse. It doesn't say why he didn't want to divert the plane. But he didn't want to divert the plane. And he was saying, no, pilot, do not turn this thing around. Don't make a left. Don't make a right. Continue to go where we're going.

Otherwise, I'm going to shoot you. that's not ending well for him. There's another Delta story that I'm torn on. Okay. So there's this lady on a plane. I posted about this on my Twitter account, on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR yesterday under the heading torn. Okay, so there's this lady who is a Grammy award-winning singer on a plane.

And she has been walking down the aisles singing. Now, I guess her song is charting and she's happy, and so she wants to sing. Okay. So if I'm on the plane, do I say anything? Does it matter? The Delta flight attendant, you know, the waiter,

he does not happy about it. And he wants her to zip it and not be singing. Now, she's, and then he says it's up to him, okay? Just zip it or not. And if you're not, if she's not going to stop singing, then I guess he's going to turn the plane around,

or duct tape or to a chair? I don't know. I don't know what happens if she continues to sing. But the interaction was, of course, recorded because we live in 2003 and things don't happen anywhere without it being recorded.

So I'll play this for you. It's pretty incredible. Okay, so they're on the plane. And the flight attendant is saying, hey, sit down. Hey, sit down. And she is backing up. And she says, I'll sit down.

But but okay the seatbelt signs are off it's not a disturbance it's not a disturbance okay okay okay so now she's I haven't done this in a while

I've got to the next time she's happy that her song is trending she's a Grammy Award winner she's charting on the new song and she just wants to perform for the plane right and the seatbelt signs is it on so she's just wandering the aisle

singing so this other flight attendant that shows up and he's the boss man. He's got the three-piece suit on. He's the boss man. And he's, he said,

she needs to be quiet. In fact, he asks, are you able to be quiet? Okay, so they're enjoying it. So are they, though, see, I'm okay, I get it.

I get it. She's just singing on the plane and I'm flying and do I, am I enjoying this lady walking up and down the aisle singing her song? I guess.

She's not hurting anyone, but the flight attendant is that I am not enjoying it. That's a good question. Okay, so that's a decent question from her. Am I going to go to jail if I don't? All right? He doesn't answer it.

He doesn't answer that question. So I don't know if she goes to jail or not. He goes on to say, Yes or no? I'm your flight leader. My instruction tree to answer my question. Are you able to be quiet? What do you guys think?

Okay, so now she, now she, yeah, now she asks, turns to the crowd. What do you guys think? It's not up to you guys. If she turned to me on the plane, I would just put my hands up like, you know, whatever. You know, I would, you know, whatever. Just, I don't know that I would have said let her sing,

but I would have said, okay, whatever, you know, whatever. But now, because now she's turning to the crowd. Now this ticks off. This ticks off my man. My instruction, you will not be taking this flight. Oh, okay, so we will not be taking this flight. So are they, is this, is this pre-flight? I don't know.

I mean, I feel like this is just people, I mean, if she wandered in the aisle without the seatbelts on and people are people are loading are we just waiting on the tarmac are we still at the gate i'm not quite sure that i understand what's happening because he says are you able to be quiet yeah okay so if that's the case then then fine so i don't know if they were just on the tarmac or not i'm torn because you know yeah you know look just sit down i nobody wants to hear your stupid song i know that you're a grammy award winner and you know you're your you're song is charting and you're excited about it and I appreciate it bless your heart I appreciate it

but I'm on this flight and I just got to get to where we're going so don't do anything that's going to slow it down okay and if and if you're singing this stupid song is slow at me getting where I need to go then zip it and she asked a good question of the guy which he should have answered uh you know with this yes or no question the question was am I going to go to jail if I don't. His answer should have been, yes, are you able to be quiet or not? I mean, he didn't answer. He wanted an answer from her. So I guess in the end, I'm not really torn him. I just sit down. We know, I love your song. It's beautiful and all. But poof, just for now, for the sake of the flight, zip it. Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

So Washington's got to be pissed. because that is a lot of money. That's a lot of tax money coming from Jeff Bezos and Amazon.

I mean, if he sells stocks, if he says, I need a billion dollars, and he gets a billion dollars, that's, you know, $70 million for the state. According to this, when he sold over $8.8 billion worth of Amazon stock in 2021, that gave Washington like $616 million in capital gains tax revenue. So they have got to be,

Pissed. But he's going down to Miami. He wants to be with his family. And what's more, I saw an interview with Lauren Sanchez, his fiancee. And she, you know her. She's got the wooden sculpture of her on the front of the boat. And her yacht is followed by the big yacht. Yeah. She said in this interview, this Vogue profile that, oh, our day routine, we make coffee for each other. We drive a teenage daughter to school. and, you know, family movie nights, and we're struggling to commit to journaling. But, you know, I really do want to ride on the Blue Origin rocket into space next year. Our lives are pretty normal. Are they? Are they, Lauren?

Okay. All right. Yeah, I know. I know. It's just normal. My husband is, you know, one of the richest guys on the planet. Our life is just normal. You know, we can do whatever we want,

whenever we want and there is no price that we have to worry about anything but it's just a normal life yeah okay thanks lauren appreciate it you're one of us well for those of you listening live we have some breaking news coming in on chewing the fat right now apparently the english police police in england have made an arrest in the connection to the death of the minnesota native adam johnson whose throat was slashed by the skate of an opposing player during a high hockey game between the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers in the Elite Ice Hockey League last month. The arrest was announced 17 days after the incident. South Yorkshire Police did not identify the person taken into custody,

and a press release the department said detectives arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter. The assumption is that they arrested the individual as Sheffield hockey player Matt Petgrave, who struck Johnson in the neck during the October 28th game. The whole thing is a horrible tragedy. Should he be arrested? You know, it's England, so they arrest people for, you know, a wrongly worded tweet. So I'm sure he's going to get arrested. He's going to be found guilty.

I find it hard to believe that he would be found guilty of this. But there you have it for suspicion of manslaughter. Okay. All right. This will be all over the news. So just know that it's happening. and wow. Okay.

All right. Fine. Whatever. I'm sure we'll be talking about this tomorrow on Pat Gray unleashed while I'm doing my chewing the fat segment because I know that Pat thinks this guy should be arrested, so he'll be happy. But I do not.

So I think it's silly. Anyway, I got this email. Yesterday we talked about tipping and the thoughts of tipping. And we talked about how they put the tip in the jars and how everybody gets paid out the bartenders, the buses, the cooks and everything into a pile. Well, I got this message sent to me

on one of the social media platforms and I think it was Facebook, but a messenger, but I'm not positive about that. Says, hey, Jeffie, I've worked in the restaurant industry a long time, server to general manager and everything in between. I just wanted to let you know when a server is required to tip out support staff, bartenders, busers, cooks, hosts, etc., the tip out is based on the percentage of sales, not tips earned.

Huh. So if they receive poor tips, they still tip out the required percentage. Paying in cash makes no difference other than not all restaurants really know if you are claiming all cash tips for tax purposes. So if they receive poor tips, then they end up losing money, right? because they're giving a percentage of the total bill, but people aren't tipping a total percentage of the bill. So that really, I don't know that I like that. I don't know that I like that.

But I mean, I get it. And I appreciate you. Thank you for sending that to me. I appreciate it. But I don't know that I like it. I would not be happy, especially if I was a bad server. I would be pissed.

I would be really pissed. So good luck out there. Become a good server. Okay, especially when you have to share your tips. CBS is stronger than ever, I guess. They claim that they have pretty much sold out their Super Bowl ads for 2024, this upcoming Super Bowl for the NFL. $7 million for a 30-second commercial?

That seems like a pretty good deal. There's a bunch of eyes on the Super Bowl, no question. And speaking to CBS, the new CBS NCIS, Sydney, starts tonight. For those of you listening live, today is the 14th of November. So NCIS Sydney starts tonight. Now we had NCIS, the regular one. That's the mother ship. That's with Gibbs.

That's still going strong, although Gibbs is like one of the executive producers or not. He's still not on it. He's mentioned, but he's not on it anymore. And then we had NCIS New Orleans. That just went away. NCIS Los Angeles just went away. They still have NCIS Hawaii,

and now they'll have NCIS Sydney. So, okay, let's see how it goes. We'll definitely take a look and see if it's worth it. I like the regular NCIS. Hello, that's the mothership with Gibbs. You got to love that. And NCIS, Hawaii is okay. NCIS New Orleans was just,

I don't even know if it was okay. It was just like, okay. And, you know, NCIS, Los Angeles, that was on for a long time, man. 2009 to 2023. I quit watching it after, I don't know, a few years. And then I watched the final, I don't know, four or five episodes of the last season just to get caught up on all the characters and where they'd all gone.

And it ended up just being okay. And it's a small case K, and I barely want to pronounce it. So we'll see if NCIS Sydney can at least make okay tonight. Okay, I'll leave you with a thought joke of the day. Just something to think about, something to make you go, huh. We started the show with something to make you go, huh, we'll end today's show with something to make you go, huh. Over the span of 11 years, 115 people died in weightlifting accidents at the gym.
