Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. The question still remains. How mad do you have to be before you walk out of the house and go on a 280 mile walk because you're angry at your wife? Now, the story is back from 2020.

And everyone remembers the guy who was fined by authorities in Italy because he broke curfew during the pandemic. He said, hey, the officers that arrested him said, hey, I came here on foot. I didn't use any transport. And along the way, I met people who offered me food and drinks. And, you know, everything was, everything was supposed to be fine. He just was so angry at his wife. He said, I'm okay.

I'm just a little tired. My problem with this is that he got so mad with his wife that he, he, left and went for a walk and he walked for 280 miles. Now I get the I got to leave. I'm so angry or the wife is mad and she leaves, doors slam, you drive around for a while, maybe you go to a bar, maybe you just sit in your car in the driveway and cool down, but to be so angry with your spouse that you walk out the door and you just continue to walk away 280 miles.

And he would have gone farther except that he broke curfew during the pandemic and then you know, got busted by authorities and then forced to go back to the wife. It would be interesting to find out exactly if that couple is still together.

But for now, we just have the question, how mad do you have to be to walk out of the house and continue walking for 280 miles? We don't even know what he was mad about. And I don't know. I mean, did she not make dinner? Did he come home and dinner wasn't made

and that made him so angry that he left and he walked for 280 miles? I honestly, I don't know that my spouse, my wife, could make me mad. In fact, I know. I know for a fact. there is nothing that could make me angry enough to walk 280 miles.

I don't think there's anything that can make me happy enough to walk 280 miles, but we don't know why he was so angry, and that made him walk 280 miles. That's the question. And I don't know that it'll ever be answered. If you know this man in Italy, if he still lives in Italy, reach out to me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Love to

know how everything is going. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So, this is going to come as a surprise. I do a lot of thinking about food and I do a lot of thinking about restaurants. I know. I know.

Sit down and take a break and realize I know what a shock it is. So I'm looking at the list of the top fast food restaurants in the United States. And there I see a list, and I love these lists. So they have the top 30 fast food restaurants in the United States. And, you know, it just starts with Bojangles. They have 749 locations.

And Culver's has 785. And Whataburger has 833 locations. And, I mean, people in Texas love Whataburger. real, I mean, people from Texas think Whataburger is the place of record. It is not, but I digress. Zaxby's 933 locations. Carl Jr. has a little over 1,000. Then they have wing stop on the list at 1,299, but no Buffalo Wild Wings.

Buffalo Wild Wings is just under that at 1278. I mean, if you're going to put Wing Stop in the fast food restaurant list, you've got to have Buffalo Wild Wings on there, right? so this is like 31 actually. Bojangles will be off the list if you put Buffalo Wild Wings on there. Five guys has 1350. Hardies, 1798.

Panera bread, 2138. Is that a fast food restaurant? Yeah, okay. Panda Express, 2,195 locations. Jack in the Box, 244. Popeyes, 2485. Chick-fil-A has 2,613. I would have guessed more.

Chipotle has 2,643. They're 17th. Jimmy Johns, 2763. Papa John's. A lot of pizza. A lot of pizza on the list. 15, 11, 8, 7. So you got Papa John's at 15 with 3,09.

Then you have little Caesars at 11 with 4,203. Then you have Dominoes, 6,218. Pizza Hut at 6,873. So a lot of pizza happening on the list. Then we have, you know, Arby's 3407, Sonic, 3496. And I guess it's not just Sonic, Jeff. It's Sonic drive-in. Okay, fine.

KFC has a little over 4,000. You're looking at Dairy Queens, 4,437 Dairy Queens. Interesting. Wendy's, 5,868. Wow. Burger King. 7,114 Burger Kings, just below Taco Bells at 7,118.

Duncan, we're considering Duncan in a fast food place? Okay, 9,563 locations of Duncan. McDonald's, 13,651 locations. And that again is, you know, these are just United States numbers. Then Starbucks, I mean, you put Duncan in, so you have to put Starbucks in. 15,350 Starbucks locations. And the number one fast food restaurant who has the most locations in the United States.

Say it with me now. Subway. That's right. 23,494. I got to thinking about this list because this is how my stupid brain works. I see a story from Clifton, Texas. It's in, you know, DFW.

where police arrested 10 individuals who were selling meth out of a dairy queen. So apparently, you know, people are calling this Operation Blizzard. Should have the canon music tonight's episode. Math, Operation Blizzard. And so, you know, I look, I get it. Dairy queens have 4,437. The reason it got me thinking about how many locations they have is, I wonder how many locations.

This actually takes place not just in Dairy Queens, obviously, but how many of these restaurants, the subways? There's 23,494. Gotta be. Got to be some drugs being sold out of those locations. Am I right? You know I am.

So I'm a surprise these people, you know, obviously, probably the individuals working at this particular dairy queen. may have been using their product. So, you know, that's how they ended up getting caught. They busted, if they busted 10 people selling meth out of a dairy queen. Cars rode up around the block, and the manager's like, hey, we only sold one Blizzard today. How come all these people are in line? No reason.

And maybe that's why the manager started selling meth out of the old Dairy Queen. You know, times are. tough and trying to make a living and you have to, you know, you can't get your meth without buying a blizzard. Operation Blizzard. Speaking of food, then I see a

story from Jessica Beale, the actress, who apparently shared tips on her unique shower habits. Now, if I stopped right there, I could be a fan of this story. Jessica Beal and her unique shower habits. Yes,

Jessica, tell me what they are. Let me know. However, it goes on to talk about how she is advocating for shower eating movement. No, baby. No, honey, we don't need that. In her TikTok, she discussed enjoying snacks like cereal and popsicles during bath time and offered rules for shower eating, emphasizing the need for a ledge to place items on.

No, honey. No, no, no. We do not need to be eating, well, we don't need to be eating food in the shower. Stop, it's okay. I mean, I'll tell you, I'm not quite sure I understand the mindset. There's nothing I could enjoy more than just eating a nice hot bowl of, I don't know what, in the shower. Because why would you do that?

Why would you want to eat a sandwich, have it all soggy with shampoo and soap? I mean, even my man Quinn Pittman's goat soap. Come on. Now, as much as I'm a fan of the old QP goatsoap.com, I don't want to have it on my tuna sandwich. Sorry about it. You know, you would hope that Jessica's just trying to be funny on the old TikTok channel. But I feel like she's not. and that is a little disconcerning.

I'm surprised that she's not talking about the latest TikTok trend, and maybe she is. Maybe I need to get a TikTok account, and so I can go in and see what Jessica Beale is talking about it because, geez, that's my life. Apparently, deep-fried toothpicks are the latest TikTok food trend. And so maybe Jessica should be talking about that. Maybe she could talk about how deep-fried toothpicks taste

in the shower. I don't know. South Korean health officials are warning the public not to eat deep fried toothpicks. Really? We had to... You know what? I'm going to deep fry some toothpicks. How about people? Everybody eat them. So this is not a product to eat, according to the Asian nation's ministry of food and drug safety. Okay. That's, apparently they wrote a recent PSA and said that deep-fried toothpicks, their safety has not been verified.

Oh, thank you. So the bizarre pastime involves frying the oral hygiene accessories in oil. So they puff up and corkscrew in the pan like curly fries. And, uh, then you put a little cheese on them and some other seasonings and then you eat them. Yum, yum. Man, they are doing everything to get us away from food, aren't they? Yes, they are.

So one YouTube creator said that their flavor is similar to rice cakes. And man, who doesn't love a good rice cake from time to time? Am I right? so I don't know just I'm surprised that Jessica isn't talking about the new you know deep fried toothpicks

wow that sounds wonderful so if you're traveling to South Korea you may think to yourself well if I'm going to travel to South Korea I may have to try you know the food of the area

of the nation of course you want to eat the delicacies that every country has when you travel. And you end up with deep fried toothpicks. Wow. That means you may need some drugs. So if you're traveling, you may want to have your own Jace medical case to bring along. You can go to jacemedical.com and get the Jace case for the medicines you need. You can bring along on your trip to South Korea or wherever you're going.

You know, look, we would think that if you're traveling in another country, you need drugs. But the problem is right here in the United States of America as well. Drug shortages hit a record high, causing severe disruptions in medical treatments. There are delays, treatment cancellations, and the unfortunate rationing of vital medications. Even drugs, as important as the antibiotic amoxicillin, are in short supply right now, along with 294 others. Doctors are even saying they've been forced to make impossible choices, including choosing which patients will be prioritized

to receive potentially curative therapy. It's actually an embarrassment, but it's best to be prepared. And that's why you need a Jace case. It's a personalized emergency kit that contains five essential antibiotics that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infection. You know, like the ones you may get by eating fried toothpicks. And Jace is continually working to expand their medication offerings.

They've even added Ivermectin as an option in the Jace case. Plus, now you can buy a gift card for your family or loved ones. So if someone in your family or one of your loved ones is traveling to South Korea, and you could say, hey, maybe you ought to get a Jace case before you head over there and have your fried toothpicks. So get them their own personalized Jace case, or just at least give them the gift card so they can get their own. Everyone should be empowered to care for themselves and their loved ones during the unexpected.

We'd love to talk, business. I'd like to thank Amazon for adding commercials to my viewing time. Man, am I thankful to them?

So yesterday, they started their new Prime Video Showing Ads program. And when you logged into Prime, it said, hey, You can pay $2.99 more a month and do without ads, or you can just continue to watch, and your shows that you watch will have ads in them. Now, I did not click on paying the $2.99 more a month. According to experts, they predict that only about a third of subscribers will shell out the extra money to avoid commercials. I guess Jeff Bezos needs some more money. So good for them.

I mean, they've tied it in to the Amazon Prime delivery service and their films and their shows. So now they want a little bit more money. Not real sure why? I mean, I know why. But we have to generate more money. And they plan on generating at least $5 billion more a year. I just want to thank them. Thank you so much because everyone wants to charge me more money.

for any kind of product or service that they're doing for me. And I appreciate it. I appreciate it because I want to be charged more for everything. Oh, man. I ask people sometimes, hey, are you sure that's it? You don't need any more money from me? Maybe you can be, I don't know, use Netflix as your bellwether. Because Netflix has decided that, you know what, our lowest cost plan that doesn't

include advertising, you know what? We got to get rid of that. Yeah, we got to get rid of that. We got to drive people to the ad-supported plan. So if you have a, you know, one of the lowest cost plans that includes no commercials, yeah, that's going to go away. Oh, okay, good. I'm really happy to see that.

And I will say I watched, I've been going through and watching, you know, I watched a number of shows through Prime. and so they're 15 minute ads, or at least that's what it started out to be. They gave you a 15 minute ad when you go to a new episode, and then inside the episode, they gave me a 15 minute ad. I thought it was supposed to be targeted at me, but I got Liberty Insurance commercials.

So, okay, maybe they know something I don't. And I'm sure that they do. That's what made the advertisers so happy that Prime was going to start doing commercials because they have the companies, customer data. I mean, we all buy things from Amazon Prime, our Amazon Prime membership. So they have our buying history.

So they can target commercials, I'm sorry, they can target their ads to customers that will bring a higher return on their marketing spend. So that's good. And that information, I'm sure. I wonder how much Amazon sells the customer data to, say Netflix or Disney Plus or anyone for that matter. I wonder how much that brings in for Amazon. Oh, nothing, nothing. There's no way that they, you know, sell that information. Right. And I saw where Amazon is going to have to pay out, I don't know, $100 million.

Okay, it's only $94 million. Okay, sorry, it's not $100 million. They were going to buy out iRobot, right? The robotics maker of a Rumba. And so amid all the regulatory scrutiny in Europe, they said, yeah, no, you know what, we're not going to buy it anymore. And we have to pay a termination fee of $94 million. Yeah, you know, here's $94 million. Sorry, we're not going to buy you anymore.

So I Robot now says that they're laying off 31% of the workers. Oh, really? Yeah. EU regulators were worried that Amazon would rig the marketplace searches for robotic vacuums. That wouldn't happen. Are you out of your minds? So they, you know, they were worried that the Roombas would be delisting competing products.

Well, duh. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the FTC is feared that Amazon could gather an alarming level of personal information if it controls too much of the smart home market. you think so rumbas the new rumbas can map a house layout size and furniture is that helpful to the data and marketers yeah i guess uh they also amazon has footholds in alexa they have footholds in ring and they have footholds in one medical the health care and they have footholds in Wi-Fi. So Amazon will be ruling the world very, very soon. I know that's what the EU and the U.S., the FTC,

the Federal Trade Commission, are trying to evolve and not let that happen. Good luck. Good luck with that. I don't know why. I saw a story, speaking of Amazon, I saw where Jeff's ex-wife, the first wife, Mackenzie, sold a boatload of stock this year. Man, I would not be selling Amazon stock.

I mean, Jeff is trying to find ways to pay for his girlfriend, I'm sorry, fiancé. And he's got yachts and helicopters and plastic surgery to pay for her. So he's going to be finding more and more ways to milk the world of money. You can count on that. So if you have as much stock as McKenzie has, I wouldn't recommend that. selling it. Now, she did say that she was going to give it all away. She wasn't going to leave it

to the kids. So if she wants to give some of it away, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com, McKenzie, and I am here for you, okay? I will help you shed the weight of that money that you have from that first marriage of yours. And I know how, I know how difficult it is for you to carry around that weight. So just give it to me. I'm used to carrying around extra weight. I'll be happy to add some more. You can direct message me on X as well at Jeffrey JFR. McKenzie. I'm here for you there as well. Or maybe, you know, Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can reach out on my YouTube channel as well, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So any of those ways you can reach out and let me know how to, you know, take that weight of that much money off of you.

I'm happy to help. Always be here for you. Okay? No problem. I mean, I did win the lotto the other day, so I didn't win the jackpot. No-in-won. You know, the Mega Millions drawing us tonight, that's $311 million. Powerball was last night.

No-in-won, so it's now up to $188 million. That next drawing is Wednesday. but last week I won the powerball the last powerball drawing the one before last I won shit and I hear me out

you know I'm here to help I am here to help with MX Platinum $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So who died today?

Who died today? N. Scott Mammaday. And I know you're saying, wait, M. Scott Mammaday, who is that? Well, he was a Pulitzer Prize winning storyteller, poet, educator, and folklorist. whose debut novel, House Made of Dawn, is widely credited as the starting point for contemporary Native American literature. Yeah.

So why don't you just, you should know who N. Scott Mamaday is. He has passed away at the age of 89. Now, apparently, I know, don't look at me like that, because it doesn't say that at all. He died at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He had been in failing health. So there.

Couldn't have been that. Otherwise, they would have said it. He had actually had an extraordinary life. And his housemate of Dawn was, tells of a World War II soldier who returns home and struggles to fit back in. In this case, home is the native community in rural New Mexico.

And that's, you know, where he grew up. And it told the conflicts between the ways of his ancestors. and the risks and possibilities of the outside world. He even said that he had struggled, you know, going back and forth between both worlds, and it's made for confusion and richness in his life. Now, I found it interesting that he was, we know him as En Scott Mommadee.

N. Scott Mammaday. But this must have been a struggle for him since he was born. Navarre, Scott Mamamedidae. You heard me. Mamedadee. M-A-M-A-M-A-D-A-T-Y.

In Lawton, Oklahoma, as a member of the Kiowa tribe. So, rest in peace. To N. Scott Mamaday, dead at the age of 89. So the company behind the global recall of sleep apnea machines.

So there's been a global recall of these sleep apnea machines from device maker Phillips. They've recalled more than 5 million pressurized breathing machines. But they went ahead and they've decided under a tentative agreement with regulators, you were just going to go ahead

and stop selling the machines. Oh, wait, what? Yeah, in the U.S.? Yeah, you're not going to be able to buy them anymore. Why? Does that mean that everything is okay? Well, no, not really. The risks that their internal foam can break down over time, leading users to inhale tiny particles and fumes while they sleep.

Is that a problem? Apparently it is. Apparently it is. Now, we first found out about this way back in 2021, and we've tried to repair and replace machines, and it just keeps dragging on and on. So the U.S. and some other countries said, you know what, maybe we ought to just not sell these.

for a while until you get this fixed up. So the Dutch manufacturing giant said, yeah, all right, fine. We'll stop selling them in the United States and some of your other countries as well. Yes, we'll still continue servicing them. We won't sell the new ones until we have corrective actions made, okay?

It's only going to cost us, I don't know, $400 million. They've set aside, sorry. They've set aside $300,000. $93 million for operational changes and upgrades needed to comply. So if you have a Phillips sleep apnea machine and you're unaware of the recall, I would put a new, make sure you put some new foam in before you use it anymore. Otherwise, you could be inhaling tiny particles and fumes while you sleep. And I don't recommend that.

Oh, I should add, this is another who died today. Who died today? A homeless man named Clinton Dorsey. So he's dead. It doesn't give an age of the homeless man, Clinton Dorsey. We just know his name. He lived in the woods across from this lady's house in Florida. A man named Travis McBride, who was an anger management therapist.

killed the homeless guy. So whatever therapy, whatever program he was working on didn't work. If you were a patient of Travis McBride and his anger management therapy group, perhaps you need to find a new therapist. He apparently, the homeless guy, Clinton Dorsey,

had allegedly put glass in Travis McBride's dog's water dish. He said that he was going to kill Dorsey when he found him. And he did. So I don't know if that story is even true. But, I mean, no one wants to, you know, I'm not recommending putting glass in anybody's dog's water dish.

Maybe the homeless guy had had enough. Maybe the dog was attacking him. That doesn't mean that he gave him the right to hurt the dog. But multiple people said they saw him drag the body across the road, throw it in his trunk. He was arrested in charge with first degree murder. He's being held with. without bond. Now, the funny thing is

about Mr. McBride, the anger management therapist, according to court records, way back in 2017, McBride was arrested and accused of strangling a relative because of the way they handled one of his dogs. See, he just loves

his dog so much. He can't help himself. He managed apparently to avoid conviction in jail time after agreeing to complete at least six months of counseling. It didn't take. It did not take.

So, rest in peace, to Clinton Dorsey, the homeless guy living in the woods, or who was living in the woods, who should not have messed with Travis McBride's dogs. I guess this is another who died today. Although, you know, it's kind of a,

this is a weird, weird, weird case. So there's a Memphis DJ named Slick Rick. All right. No affiliation to the rapper, Slick Rick. His real name is Rick Buchanan. And he was found in his home decapitated. So, because it should be who died today.

Slick Rick. At the age of 59, dead, rest in peace. Now, police say there are no signs of foul play in terms of how he died. They are still investigating. Wait, what? Yeah, his brother found him in the house and he was decapitated. He had his pants pulled down around his legs. He had his keys still in his hands. Apparently the front door was locked. The back door was wide open. The iron door was open. The neighbor called the brother and said, yeah, I don't think anything is going on over there. Something is weird happening. The back door is

wide open and the dog's in the yard. So then they called 911s and there were things that didn't add up. And what the brother called weird stuff. Yeah, your brother was a decapitated. So we don't know what the circumstances were. Maybe Memphis has got a mad decapitator running around. And so I would, you know, be careful. We don't know what happened.

We don't know what's going on. They've set up a GoFundMe campaign. If you'd like to help out with the funeral expenses for Slick Rick, you can find that. You can find that and help out. They've raised over $4,000 so far as last updated. I don't know where it's at right now. He raised a lot of money for people around Memphis over the years.

So it'd be good for the, you know, the people of Memphis, the Memphians to give back to Slick Rick. But Slick Rick. Decapitated, dead, rest in peace, the age of 59. I'm not a detective. I like to play one, but I'm not a detective. But I'm guessing that someone decapitated, there is foul play involved. Most people do not end their life by decapitating themselves.

I know. I know. Like I said, I'm not a detective. I just play one on this show. episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Friday is the one they're supposed to be available? I don't know.

They began. Pre-orders are already out. $3,500. Spatial computing devices. Okay. They sold out almost immediately. They planned to ship 300 to 400,000 units this year. The commercials show.

the headsets going on and you'll be able to go from you know, real life to virtual reality almost instantaneously. I got to tell you, why wear that big

Vision Pro headset? Just do what I've said all along. Wear a helmet. If the technology is there for you to go from reality to virtual,

almost instantaneously, and you still want to be able to see reality, then use a helmet and wear the helmet so you have a bigger screen than having this Vision Pro headset over your face. But man, it looked really cool. I will say that. It did look cool. I would much rather have a helmet on than wear that stupid Vision Pro headset on. And so I wish someone, I've told, I've been telling you for years to make it a helmet. You didn't listen. You still aren't listening. Maybe I should just, you know, develop one myself.

Yeah, that's going to happen. Okay, so I want to know. My question is, why do we care? Okay. Former U.S. Air Force officer and commercial real estate investor, Tony Romero, believes that he's found Amelia Earhart's lost plane 87 years after she disappeared with it in the Pacific Ocean. So?

I don't know why we care. I just, I don't understand. So the possible discovery came after Romero, the CEO of Deep Sea Vision, sold commercial real estate to fund his $11 million expedition to search for the plane. In September, he set off with a 16-person team and began to collect sonar data

across 5,200 square miles of the ocean. floor using a high-tech autonomous submersible. Okay, I mean, I guess that's kind of cool. I think we've used some of that technology before in plane crashes and such. 90 days into the journey, they looked through the submersibles data and found a blurry outline of what they say appears to be Earhart's Lockheed 10E Electra near Howland Island halfway between Australia and Hawaii.

Now, here's the thing. Nothing has been confirmed yet. Now, the location, I guess, was consistent with historical data. His team plans to return to the suspected location to get evidence. If it is, then he wants to get it out of there and give it to the Smithsonian. I mean, they covered all this land, and then they went back and they had to study all the all the data and now they think now they've got to go back again so okay now there's been at least six other private trips by other explorers seeking to recover the plane since her pioneering flight

abruptly ended in 1937 and uh i mean they've had they've spent millions trying to find this stupid plane and a million why it's over it's over it's a been 87 years years. I don't care. We don't care. Do we? Do you? Let me ask you seriously. Tomorrow, they say, hey, we're bringing up Amelia's plane and we're giving it to the Smithsonian. Are you going to go out of your way? Well, that's, you probably yes. If they bring it up and I'm answering my own question, if they bring it up and they put it, you know, you're going to want to see it. You are going to want to see it. That having been said, if they never find it, I mean, we're spending millions of dollars to find it?

I really, I don't understand that. And he's spending millions of dollars to find it, and he's going to give it to the Smithsonian? No. No, thank you. Smithsonian, you can have it after people pay a lot of money to come and see it because I got to make my money back.

That's how much I care about history. Well, Amelia Earhart history, and she's gone. We lost her. Move on. I mean, I do care about our soldiers being killed and wounded, overseas. They've identified the three slain soldiers, and they've raised the number of wounded U.S. troops to at least 47. Roughly 350 U.S. military personnel were deployed at the base at the time. U.S. officials believe Iran-backed militants are behind the Jordan strike, and Iran denies being involved. Huh. This is a couple of things that really threw me in this story. I tried to stay away

from the stuff on this show. I know, but it's really kind of irked me. that we're going to get into a war and it's just into another war. Just amazing. At least 165 attacks on U.S. troops. 98 in Syria, 66 in Iraq, and this one in Jordan, have occurred since the Israel-Hamas war began in October. Okay. So how did it happen?

Well, the U.S. officials said, you know, our air defenses, we failed to intercept a weekend drone strike, in Northeast Jordan. It killed three U.S. troops. Because while the incoming drone was mistaken for an American one, yeah, we didn't know. A U.S. drone had been scheduled to return to the base, and we figured, hey, that's ours.

It's coming back to Tower 22, and it was on a surveillance mission at the same time. And now we figured it was ours, and it wasn't. Man, wow, are we dumb. That really irks me. uh that uh that shows some of the i you know i don't know uh rest of peace to our bless their hearts and their families and all the other troops that were wounded uh you know wish that anyone but uh maybe maybe we don't uh we don't need tower 22 maybe we don't need that

maybe we get out of there i mean you've already screwed up Afghanistan and now we're screwing up this. I just, I got to stop. Otherwise, I'll get angry. And I don't want to be angry. I don't want to be angry. Okay? So I'm just going to leave you with the joke of the day. I don't want to be angry. Although this is something I could be angry about. It's a joke, but it's also, you know, kind of factual. Aren't most jokes, Jeff? Yes, they are. And it asked a question. And I could be angry at the answer. Why must I prove that I am me to pay my bills over the phone. Do strangers call to pay my bills? And if they do, why don't you let them? That is an excellent question. It's an excellent point. And it could

make one angry. So I'm just going to walk away. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
