We'd love to talk. Business. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Coming to a workplace near you soon. The Shopify CEO, Tobias Alutka, sent out an internal memo that said, before asking for more headcount and resources, teams must demonstrate why they cannot get what they want done using AI.

okay. That's using the tech should be a fundamental expectation to boost productivity in daily work. The push to think outside the human box for coworkers comes right now at Shopify, and they've already slimmed way down. The company now has, according to this, 8,100 employees. And that was 200 people less than the year before. And that's after it had laid off 14% of its workforce. in 2022 and another 20% in 2023. So they are slimming down and remember, don't get any ideas about asking for more people in your department, okay? Because before you do that, demonstrate how what you want them to do can't be done by

AI. Then we'll talk about a new head being part of your department. Oh, okay. Thank you. Are the days of humans numbered? No, the days of humans are not numbered. Are the days of humans working at Shopify numbered? Yes, that is absolutely true.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay. So the University of Mississippi, right, Ole Miss, there's a freshman there. Her name is Mary Kate Cornett. And she's apparently considering legal action after a rumor went viral.

And it was trending number one. It was everywhere. And everyone was talking about the possibility that she had slept with her boyfriend's father. She was going out with the quarterback Jackson Dart. of Ole Miss football team who was going to be drafted this year into the NFL and has a bright future ahead of him

if he performs well. And the rumor was that she had slept with Jackson's dad. I don't know where it started. She doesn't know where it started. No one knows, well, someone knows where it started. They're the ones that started it. But no, we don't know where it started. And she did an interview

talking about how devastated her life is. And it's an amazing interview because really, I mean, all she had to do, let's hear the interview. Let's hear the interview with Mary Kate. Having the entire internet, half of the country hating you and calling you disgusting things,

telling you to kill yourself, telling you that you're a horrible person that you deserve to die, that's a really hard. It is. Stop for a moment. It is. That's terrible. But don't read it. I know you're 19 and I know that's a difficult task. But if you don't read it, do you actually know about it? Okay, go ahead. First TV interview, Old Miss freshman Mary Kate Cornett told me how she became famous on the internet and social media in the worst possible way.

In February, an online rumor went viral, claiming an old Miss sorority sister slept with her boyfriend's father. Then someone attached Cornett's name and photo to it. Do you know why the rumor started? No clue. No clue. I had zero, zero knowledge of this. So no one does. This disgusting rumor was a top trending topic on Twitter. Within two and a half hours. Later that night, around 7 p.m. I was number one. trending in the United States.

I felt so helpless. Okay. So stop it there. So absolutely it's a rumor that goes viral, right? I mean, we all saw it. Anyone that was on social media saw it. And I want to thank Tom Yamas for doing such a great job for NBC News Now, special report insight from Tom Yamas, who's wonderful.

Oh, I didn't mean to cut her off. I know. She's, okay, so she's, uh, she continues. So alone, because so many people were hating on me for something that I had no idea any, anything about. I mean, I'm a very normal person. Right. Just like any teenage girl, I care about what people think about me. I mean, any teenage girl can relate to that.

Cornett's phone number was also shared online. She was overwhelmed with harassing texts and voicemails. I was having thousands of calls come through thousands of texts coming through Okay, stop So Here's the thing Get a new phone

Mary Kate Just a thought This happened before tariffs So their phones were the same price They didn't even go up in price And if it's so horrible I'm sure your parents would have helped you out and I don't know that her parents are alive.

I don't know anything about Mary. I don't know anything about it. I'm sure someone would be able to tell you how to get a burner and you'd be good to go. So you'd be able to communicate with whoever you wanted to communicate with and you wouldn't have to look at the phone that you say you got all these messages from.

Just a thought. Go ahead, Mary, I'm sorry. Telling me I deserve to die. Horrible, right? I mean, just horrible. Is there one? moment that sticks out for you. With myself,

it would probably be at 3 a.m. when I was throwing up while holding the phone with all the texts on. Stop it. That's another problem. What you should have probably done is what did I hear? Oh yeah. Get another phone!

So you're still carrying the phone because you are fascinated by all the text messages and all the attention you're getting from people even the people who are texting you terrible things and they want to do terrible things to you and which is, you know, I don't agree with any of that.

But just put the phone away. Shut that phone off and get another phone. Then you don't have to see any of it. You don't have to see or hear any voicemails, any of it. You're not a part of any of it. If you say that it didn't happen, then don't. Play into it. At all.

I'm sorry. Go ahead, Mary. Just saying how horrible of a person I was and that I should end my life. All because of an internet rumor. All because of an internet rumor that has zero truth to it. Zero. Cornett says she could barely leave her dorm room. Had to switch to online classes.

Someone even sent police to her mother's house in a fake 911 call. That's so horrible. What is it with the swatting to? Can we stop with that? Stop this. Can we stop with the swatting stuff? I do legitimately want to know what we're going to talk. We've got to find somebody that can then talk me through it. Okay.

I would legitimately want to know what constitutes me calling a police department and making a SWAT team show up at someone else's house and breaking into that house. How can I know? I guess it is that. I guess I call and go, hello, 911. Yeah, I want to report a and they just show up to you that particular. house and I was driving by this house at one, two, three, four, five. And I heard

yeah, and they just show up at my house. I just, anyway, all right. And so, and they're, you know, showing up at her mom's house. And it's just, it's terrible. I do agree that it's terrible what happened to this girl over this rumor. I just find it difficult to believe that

someone in her life didn't say, Mary, honey, just put the phone down. If you're sick and you're puking in the toilet and you still got your phone with you, you may have a problem. I know you're 19. I got it. I got it. It's very difficult for me to go anywhere.

I'm 185 years old. Plus, and it's hard for me to go anywhere without my phone. But, you know, maybe you just, get a new phone. Anyway, Mary, go ahead. I'm sorry. girlfriend. Soon, the rumor was picked up by ESPN host Pat McAfee, though he didn't use her name.

Thank you. This is what is being reported by everybody on the internet. Thank you. That had sex with son's girlfriend. Has anyone apologized to you? Why would they apologize? We get to talk about it. They have not at all. I want these famous people to know. We're sorry for what happened to you. I'm not a public figure that you can go talk about on your show to get more abused. Yes, you are. Stop. Stop.

You are. You're part of a story that's trending across the world. Maybe it's just a country. But you're part of that story. You are a person that we get to talk about. I'm sorry that it happened. And McAfee didn't even mention your stupid name. He just talked about that's the story that's trending online.

I can't. We get to talk about the news stories. Okay. It's terrible. We already said it's terrible. I'm sorry for what happened to you. It's ridiculous. Should have gotten a new phone.

I'm sorry, Mary, go ahead. Pressing this and pushing it farther made my situation so much worse. Because the people who were talking about it are the people that I would want to take a picture with if I saw it. They're people that I watch. Pat McAfee, ESPN.

That's all my living room TV every single night. It's a funny show. It does. It does. Because I used to look up to these people and now these same people are making me feel worthless. That's not true. I'm sorry.

Stop it. Good. I'm not talking to you, Tom Yamas. Her name would forever be linked to the rumor spread online. I don't think that these boys realized what they're doing to people. How do you know it was boys? It's awful. It's awful.

Yeah, okay. I had enough of America, okay. It does sound like someone that a girl would do. Just off the top of my head. It's up to top of my head. And I don't know that she's still, I didn't see the full. I guess maybe Tom Yamas did a whole 35, 40 minutes, 60 minute interview because this was just a five-minute clip from the NBC News Tom Yamas clip.

Yeah, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm done with her. I know this clip is a five and a half, six minutes long. I'm not doing anymore. Okay. I'm sorry, and I'll go, I will speak. I don't want to speak on behalf of Pat McAfee, but sorry. All right, we talked about a story that was happening

around the world on the internet, you know, like we do every day. And I didn't even mention your stupid name. So, okay, everybody knew it was me. Did they know? Did they know? Because I can remember watching that segment on the Pat McAfee show. personally. And I can remember thinking

there's a, I didn't know about the story. And then I had to look, then I had to look to see who is trying to see. That's what the problem is. That's what the problem is right there. Everybody then started looking to see the problem because he highlighted it. Well, that's kind of what the show does.

And that's what every show does is highlight these stories. It's just, I'm so sorry what happened to her. But a lot of this, a lot of this, is brought on by her. She could have just, I don't know what, and they got a new phone.

And then not looked at any of it. And, you know, some of it couldn't be helped, and it was effective, and I'm terrible, no question. I do want to know a couple things. We do obviously need to do an invest. I want to know who started it. I have to know who started it.

Because I don't care. I don't care if it was, I don't care if it was a Russian. I don't care if it was a Russian. I don't care of. it was a North Korean. I don't care if it was Ukrainian. I don't care if it was Lily Lou from the sorority sisters on Old Miss campus.

I want to know. Second, I want to know if anyone advised her to just get a new phone. Third, I'll take you at your word that it's untrue. So are you still seeing Jackson? Or are you still seeing Jackson's dad? who you're seeing. That's what I want to know. So you're seeing Jackson and not his dad.

Here's an idea. This is my whole psychological point to this. This absolutely already is a porno film coming out of Hollywood. No question. No, I mean, I've got the script written already in my head. I also want Mary Kate to know. A, you're probably going to have to change your name. You're probably going to just have to change your name.

And I know you shouldn't have to do that, but, you know, just change your name. You don't have to be, because if I see you on a street, probably not going to recognize you anyway. Put a ball cap on walking here in Texas. Nobody's going to, is that Mary Kate? From the Jackson Dart story, nobody's going to know that. Get a new phone.

And of course, you know, it's financially, the stakes are, you know, as high as they ever get. But you're going to need a real estate agent that's going to help you of all this because you just realized, holy cow, my neighbor has the dire wolves. And that could not end well for the neighborhood.

And if that happens to you, you have to move. and you have to get a hold of real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the top selling real estate agent in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust knowing that, my gosh, there's dire wolves in the backyard,

and then I got to get out of here. I can't have this any longer. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or just moving, getting the heck out of someplace, because, well, you know, the neighbor. You got to get in touch with real estate agents I trust. Go to real estate agentsiderust.com. Real estate agents I trust.

com. Now, as for the dire wolves, yes, those were real, okay? You were hearing the first howls of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Now, those were the, yeah, that's Romulus and Ramos. Okay, the new, the dire wolf podcast. They were born back in October of last year.

There's another one that they have now a female named Calisi. Oh, see what they did there because of the dire wolves and Game of Thrones? And I got it. Oh, that's so funny. Anyway, so colossal biosciences, which are here in DFW area, and I've reached out to them, and I'd really like to talk to them, actually. they are the de-extinction company and they have brought back the dire wolf

now they also want to bring back to dodo and they want to bring back the Tasmanian devil and they want to bring back the woolly mammoth and we're getting closer and closer to that but you know they had a big post yesterday you know the announcement of the dire wolf so they've been born

I don't know that they have the dire wolf cam up and running on YouTube yet at the colossal bioscience his YouTube page, but I wouldn't be surprised. You might as well just put it up there and make us subscribe or make it an only fan's account so we can

watch the dire wolves on only fans as they take care of a little bit of news between the wolves. That's what happens in the packs of wolves. Oh yes. Uh-oh, here we go. Romulus, Remus fighting over Colisi.

Oh, yeah. Okay, so that's coming. That's absolutely coming. No, we're not sending the wolves to the Carmen line yet. So anyway, colossal biosciences they believe that

look, this moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company, but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear to revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.

By achieving this, we can continue to push forward our broader mission on accepting humanity's duty to restore Earth to a healthier state. But this isn't just our moment. It's one for science, our planet and humankind, all of which we

love and are passionate above. Oh, I know. We're especially passionate after we just had a big valuation of $10.2 billion. He just became a billionaire, the guy that started colossal bioscience is one of the new billionaires on the new billionaire list this year.

They just got a bunch of money for startup funding. I think even the original startup money, I think some of the government agencies actually invested in colossal biosciences as well. So, you know, there you go. It says here in the story that they are expected to weigh as much,

much as 140 pounds when fully grown. I thought the dire wolves were bigger than that. We'll see. Again, if you've got them barking in the backyard, I mean, 140 pounds is a pretty big dog as it is, but I have a dog at my house that is about 100 pounds, I think 90-ish pounds. And so if a dire wolf is 140,

that's not much bigger than my dog. It's bigger, obviously, but not much bigger. and if you're a dire wolf you gotta be a couple hundred pounds right you want to stand four or five feet tall you know on all fours

stand four or five feet see one of those bad boys turn the corner I guarantee you when that happens they don't sound like this yeah they're not sounding like that my friends okay when they come around the corner because I you know I've told

Last night I'm talking to my wife about it. I'm like, I can't believe you know, here we go. Here we go. They said they were going to do it and they did it. And they've got proof of it. And my wife was like, oh, what could possibly go wrong? I can't believe these companies are wanting you to do this. And then I play this for, oh, I want one.

Oh, I want one. Okay. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. Listen, if they can create a real life. Jurassic Park. Yes, I'm in. I'm in because, I know,

I know the ending of all the documentaries. I got it. But still, this time, I mean, we'd be able to do it different. Right? Of course. We're going to do it different. That's our babies. Yeah. And we've already run off the neighbors

so we got the place to ourselves. All right, let's go to the break room. I got something cold to drink desperately. I got something or I need something. Either way. You know what I meant. All right. So if you were gnawing away at your Johnsonville cheddar Bratworths and you bid into something hard,

ow, ow, ow, ow, oh. Yeah, that's just some kind of hard plastic material that was in the brats when they were made. What are you going to do? So I've been recalled. There was only a couple of them. Well, 23,000 pounds worth. I'm sorry. And I apologize.

Johnsonville, it was 22,672 pounds. Not 23,000 pounds. Of Johnsonville cheddar brought worse. Just in 10 states. That's all. That's all. We shipped them out to 10 states. Yeah, we produce them in Illinois.

Yeah. Look, they're the 19-ounce sealed tray packages. They contain five. Johnsonville bacon, cheddar, Bratworth with the package code B9 FOD and we recalled them. They've been recalled.

We sent them to stores only in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. So there's only been a couple of complaints, though. Well, yeah, people bought them through them in their freezers, they'll get to them. Thought them out. Nothing like

biting into a Johnsonville brought and having a nice big old piece of They say reporting that it was a hard plastic material. Ouch. Yeah. Okay. All right, if you tell me it's a hard plastic material, sure, no problem.

Now, so far, they claim there's been no injuries due to eating the Broughtwurst. Uh-huh. But listen, go ahead and take it back or throw it away. Do not, you can, you know, return them to the place of purchase for a

refund or a replacement. But, you know, don't eat them. So just no. Like I'm not a big fan of the bacon cheddar brotwurst. I'd rather just have the, you know, mild or hot broughtwurst from Johnsonville. But if you were to say, hey, here's a bacon cheddar brat from Johnsonville's. I'm not turning it down. I'm eating.

Let me eat. Well, yeah, that's what I said. this is interesting and I read this this morning and then I talked to someone about it earlier today and they're like oh the churches have been doing that for a long time and I'm like oh okay I mean I guess I can see that so Vimeo wants every creator to have their own Netflix account uh it and be your own Netflix like Netflix they're launching Vimeo streaming is what they're calling it and it's letting everyone create their own subscription streaming service without technical skills.

Think of it as a build your own Netflix kit. Creators can design a branded platform, launch apps, and choose how they want to make money. Subscriptions, rentals, ads. Apparently, this comedy platform dropout is already using it successfully, focusing on making funny content, while Vimeo handles the tech side as creators increasingly operate like full-fledged media companies. So VEMO is betting that they'll want to own their distribution to and escape the platform dependency. Okay, so this is worse. All kinds of creators, fitness instructors, educators, sports broadcasters, performing arts groups, churches.

The streaming wars might be getting a whole new battlefront. Creator-owned media empires that cut out the big tech middleman completely. That's interesting. That's interesting to me. You can circle into your own mind why that's a lot. interesting to me, but that's interesting to me. That's interesting to know. Isn't it?

That's all I'm saying. I also see where they're now, they're talking about it. I don't know how you're going to get paid, but they're talking about how TV material for shows, how they're getting it. So Max has landed their rights, that's HBO, has landed the rights to develop a drama series based on a Vanity Fair's

NYPD Confidential article about counterterrorism efforts in New York City. So while adapting articles and other real word content isn't new or ground baking, studios are mining IPs from increasingly quirky corners like Sydney Sweeney is transforming a viral Reddit short story

posted by a high school English teacher into a Warner Brothers feature film. Okay. Daily Mail has teamed up with storied media group to shop its massive catalog of articles to Hollywood. The industry's appetite for juicy real-life stories and viral content with ready-made audiences keeps growing, often both fresh creative material and potential viewership

in today's crowded content battlefield. Yeah. You know, and it says here, who knows your next TikTok? Could be the next season's breakout hit. Yeah, how do I get paid for that? How do you, uh, because do you just have to put on, no real persons, uh, you had anything to do with this? And then you're done. It's your idea. How does my TikTok? How does my X post that you're going to now turn into a series make me money?

I like, I don't know the answer to that question. I honestly, I don't. If I did, I would have a lot more money than I do. That's what would have. happen. But I just, it makes me wonder, you know, I'd like to know how they, how you get paid doing that. Or are they just admitting, yeah, we're taking your stuff. That's why daily mail is, their daily mail is saying, hey, here's our stuff. You find something where you're going to pay us for it, right? This is all our stuff. This is our daily mail stuff. But if I'm perusing TikTok, and I realize there's, you know, millions of TikTok posts and ex post and Instagram posts and YouTube pages, I get it.

You know, things are getting uploaded to the internet, you know, at record pace. So it's, you know, an uncalculable number. But I'd like to know how I get paid for my idea that you read on X or Instagram and said, oh, I could turn that into a series. And you do. How does Jeff Fisher Radio and chewing the fat and at Jeff EJFR benefit from that? How does anyone? How do you benefit from that?

How do you, sitting in your backyard, post something on TikTok, and they make a series out of it, get paid for that? Do they, you expect them to come to you and say, hey, we saw your post and we love it so much, we're going to make it into this series, and if it becomes a hit, we'll give you a little money now, but if it becomes a hit, you'll get a lot more later. Yeah, that'll happen.

Who died today? Well, we'll say the Houston Cougars Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, they lost to the Florida Gators for the championship of the NCAA men's basketball tournament last night. I forced my... I was going to shut it off at halftime. I should have...

I left it on and it got... I don't know. We were like... I don't know how much time was left in the second half. And Florida was down, and I thought, oh, and I was rooting for a little bit of the gators. I got a little bit of gator blood in me. And I thought,

ah, they're not, they just don't have enough to beat Houston tonight. And I just shut it off, and I thought I'd get an extra 30 minutes of sleep. Because I was tired. I was tired. And 2.30 rolls around fast. And so I passed out.

But I pinned it to my home page of my phone. So when I woke up, I looked at the final score. What? I got to go, now I've got to get up and watch the end of the game. And they won. So congratulations to the Florida Gators

for winning the national championship for men's basketball and rest and peace to the Houston Cougars for losing that. I know. I know. Also, we have actual real people that Klan Burke, Klem Burke,

the drop. drummer for the band Blondie. Wow, Blondie. I know Clem Burke dead at the age of 70. Rest and peace to Clem up. Apparently, according to this story, it was a private battle with cancer. That's what the spokesperson said.

Okay. Named one of the greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, his energetic fills and melodic flourishes, elevated the UK number one hits like Call Me and the top of the top. as high, atomic and heart of glass. Wow.

That's actually some monster hits for Blondie there. He played with Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, the Ramones, the arrhythmics. Couldn't hold down a job. Anyway, Clem Burke, dead at the age of 70, very sad. Then we have, I think this is, well, before I get to my favorite death of the day, let's talk about the at least 18 died and 120 injured when a roof collapsed at a popular nightclub and I mean holy cow so roughly 100 other 120 other people were injured and the roof of this renowned jet set nightclub suddenly just caved in and there was a band on stage and so all these people is so sad why

Why would a roof just fall in on top of a nightclub? Oh, I know why, because it was in the Dominican Republic. That's why. Arriva, yeah, that's the wrong country. But yes, absolutely. I was in Dominican Republic. That's why, at least here in America, you've got to be on fire for roofs to start collapsing.

If you're just in a bar, the roof's not going to collapse. Okay, that's because unless you're in the Dominican Republic. I mean, just terrible. Rest in peace to all those people. So sad you're in a bar, drinking, having a good time. Thinking about taking care of a little bit, and is it down at the end of the hall? No, that wasn't playing.

There was another band that was playing. And then all of a sudden the roof collapses. Holy cow. I mean, in this country, we have porch roofs falling on college students, okay? That's the kind of construction we have. You're right. We're chatting USA, okay? We're not a Dominican Republic bar.

Then we have renowned guitarist and singer Amadou Bagayoko. And I know what you're saying. What? Amadu Bagayoko died? Yes, he did. He was 70 years old. For those of you that don't know, Amadu Bagayoko. He's from Mali, and he's part of the Mali music scene.

And, man, it doesn't get much bigger than the Mali music scenes. The renowned guitarist. singer and he's part of the duo Amundu and Miriam and so now it's only Miriam but I don't know if they're going to bring

in a new Amundu Bagayoko or not I guess there's only one look it talks about him he went blind when he was 15 because of a congenital cataract and he studied music at Molly's Institute for the Young Blind

I love that place you don't learn much more than you can at Molly's Institute for the Young Blind. And that is future wife Miriam there. And they formed a band called Molly's Blind Couple. And they decided to change it just to Amundu and Miriam. But originally coming from the Molly's Institute of the Young Blind, you're proud of it. You're proud of your fact. You're not ashamed that you're blind.

So if we're going to start a band, let's start a band and call ourselves the young blind. I mean, you have to. Right, right? Okay, yeah. They're Molly's blind couple. Damn it, they're Molly's blind couple. That's what they're called. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

And I apologize, it wasn't the young blind. It was Molly's blind. blind couple. And so that was started way back in 1980. And that's when they made their mark. Do we have, I mean, I personally know, the 2008 album, Welcome to Molly, nominated for Best Contemporary World Music at the Grammys. Wow.

Boggi Yoko's last world-class performance with Duombia, that's the wife, Miriam, was the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Oh, I do. I do remember seeing Amundu and Miriam. Yes, okay. I don't know that I knew they were from Molly's blind couple. I just knew that they were Amundu and Miriam, but I do remember him.

Yeah. So it doesn't say what he died of. He ran into anything. It doesn't say. Probably not. He went to the school. He went to the Molly's Institute for the young. so he wouldn't have run into anything.

Anyway, so do we have some of the Amundoo and Miriam song? Could they pay our respects? Hello. Hello. I like it already. Crank it. They could be saying they want me dead. I don't know that, but I like it.

It's funny, Molly's Minister of Culture paid tribute to the blind musician and a televised broadcast on state TV. You think he'd at least put it out of Braille or something, you know? No, he's paid tribute on TV. Anyway, interesting how they paid tribute to the blind guy on TV. It's funny to me. It's all. It's just me? All right, never mind.

I think we're on like 12 or 13 or 14 now. I love the way they did it. They started out. Noah Wiley is the main star. They start out at 8 a.m. in the morning and they run each hour. And everybody says, oh, it's like 24. No, not really.

But you're just going through the day with the ER and what happens. And it's been really, really good. So then it drops every Thursday, I think, on max. I think that's the right timeline for that. But then I, so this weekend, as I'm, you know, you know, Prime, uh,

Reacher's over. And I've got, uh, Bosch legacy, the final season on Prime, which I'm enjoying. I love Bosch. And,

uh, it, boss drops, uh, two episodes a week until the end. An idea that some other platforms could follow. So I don't have to sit through one stupid show every week.

Would be very nice. I'd prefer that all of them to drop it once and I could watch them on my own at my leisure, but, you know, You do you. But then I see, and I watched, oh, you know what other show I finished this weekend was the territory

on Netflix. Okay, so it's got all the big, it's like Yellowstone only from Australia. It's got all the big stars from Australia. And a couple of people, you were like, oh, he's Australian. It's almost like when you see the English actors and they have their English accent,

and you're going, ah, they're English, damn it. And that's what I felt about some of these. I was like, oh, you mean to tell me that Joe Pickett? The Joe Pickett that I love that TV show, Joe Pickett, is an Australian? Damn it. You know, like it matters. I can't like the show anymore. He's Australian.

That's never, didn't enter my mind at all. But anyway, so it's got all these stars in it. And it was pretty good. It wasn't bad if you're looking for, you know, an Australian Yellowstone-ish kind of show. and I saw this new medical drama pop up on Netflix called Pulse, P-U-L-S-E, and it's based out of Miami. And it's got some big stars in it, and I'm kind of hooked on, I like all the people that are starring in it, and I'm kind of hooked on Max, and I know that I'm hooked on The Pit on Max, and I know that they're still being sued by the wife and the wife.

the foundation of what's his face that started ER, saying that it was their idea and it's an ER and there's no Wiley. I wonder if Netflix is getting sued by the same people because of Pulse, because it's based in an ER. And I will say that I enjoyed, it's not as good as the pit. It's not as good as the pit. It's more soap opera-ish. ER, the pulses, and it's, you know, it's, it's not the pit. It's fine, and I'll probably end up,

I started watching it, and then I thought, no, I can't do this because my wife will like it. And so I, this is the kind of guy I am, I thought. Instead of being the male chauvinist that I, that I usually have, I thought, oh no, honey, let's, here's a show that we can watch together. And so I'll watch it with her. But, uh, because she's going to come to me. me. Okay, this is between you and me right now. Okay, she's going to come to me in about a week and a half and she's going to go, have you seen that new show on Netflix called Pulse? And I'm going to go, no, I haven't. You want to watch some of it? I do. I started watching it already. And I'll, and I will go, what? And so then I'll get to watch it again. And at the exact time that I say,

no I don't know what you're talking about she's going to go you bastard you've already watched it and so I'll say yes that's true I have but I stopped I stopped early so I didn't ruin it but it's not the pit so it's an ER show though and I do like the ER shows not as realistic as the pit but they try they do try so might be you know worth a lot all right no it is not like it isn't not the course of a day like the pit does no it's uh it's you know they're like they're life. So kind of soap opera-ish. But you know, get over it. Okay,

it's not the pit. It's about an ER, so watch it and shut your face. And I was talking to, you know, my producer, not you. I'm not telling you to shut your face. I just wanted you to know that. Okay, so I got a joke of the day from Shy, who said, Dear Mr. Jeffey, I noticed that you

seem to appreciate Salacious jokes. So here's one that I haven't told since my wilder days. Okay. After a trip to China, hey, today's Molly Day. It's a blind person. It's Blind Molly Day. Molly Blind Person Day.

Right? It's his day. So we got to use, what was our Molly's, Amundu Bagayoko. It's his day. All right. And he's the blind Molly couple. That's what they started at instead of Amundu,

marry him. and the minister culture guy from Mali paid tribute to him on a TV show. So it's got to be Mali. The joke is from Mali, not China today, okay? After a trip to Mali, a sailor realized that he had picked up of an aerial disease. Ooh, Mali's not happy about that. We don't know what killed Amundu Baga Logo Bogo either. They didn't mention that, so we don't know.

It could have been this. Embarrassed to be in this condition, he delayed seeking treatment until the pain grew so severe to handle he went to a doctor to get a shot of penicillin. Upon examination, the doctor told him you've contracted an ancient oriental venereal disease.

Penicillin isn't going to work. You're going to need an operation. No way, said the sailor, and he fled out of the doctor's office. Two weeks later, the pain had grown even worse. I think you can imagine how painful that would be. So the sailor returned to the doctor's

office for the operation. Doctor said, yeah, it's too late. Now you'll just need an amputation. No way, said the sailor, not going to get an amputation, and he ran out of the doctor's office. So a couple weeks go by, and the pain has grown even worse, as you can well imagine, if you've ever had venereal disease. Anyway, but the idea of amputation was still too terrible to consider.

Then the sailor got to thinking to himself, hey, since this is an ancient oriental venereal disease, I might need to go to an ancient Oriental doctor. And that person, that doctor should know a cure. So he Googled it up and got the closest to ancient Oriental doctor and went to him. And he walked in and the doctor was examining him and he said, the sailor said,

I was told I needed an amputation to be cured. Oh no, said the ancient doctor. No amputation needed. And I gave kind of, oh, good, okay. I was told I needed an operation to be cured. Oh, no. Oh, no, said the ancient doctor. This is an ancient venereal disease.

There's no operation or amputation required. Oh, that is great, said the sailor. So what should I do? Nothing, really. Just wait a couple weeks. It's going to fall off. You know you left. You know, you do.
