Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So we are, I don't know, 16 days. If you're listening to this live, today is the 10th of July, 24, 16 days away from the beginning of the

Olympics, the Summer Olympics in Paris. And people are going to Europe for vacation. And they're spending some time ready for the Olympics and going through throughout Europe. Well, don't go to Barcelona. They've had enough of the tourists in Barcelona. They are now patrolling the streets of Barcelona. They're citizens in their off time. I guess they've got nothing better to do with squirt guns.

And they're squirting tourists telling them to go. home. I would be so pissed sitting in one of their street restaurants having a having a coffee, maybe a hit me up with a little Barcelona cigarette, maybe a little roll and they get squirt gunned from some Barcelonaian telling me to go home, take your money and go home. No problem. I won't go to your stupid city or your stupid country, okay? Do you have Barcelona is in Spain? It's not in France. I know. But it's Europe

and they're all close together. They all stink together the same way. They're so close up with one another. So I guess the people are pissed because vacationers are there and it's pushing their cost of living up.

Oh, okay. So rent is now increased and they're blaming it on the tourists. All right. So if you plan on going, to Barcelona when you're vacationing to go to the Olympics don't. In fact, you know what?

Don't even go to the Olympics. How about you stay home? Watch it on Paramount Plus. It costs you a lot less money. You don't have to smell them and you don't have to hear they're whining about us. In fact, what we need to do is send every, but don't go anywhere.

Stay here in the United States of America. Unbelievable. I mean, we also have other countries, Japan, Indonesia, the Canary Islands. How often have you said to yourself, man, I got to get to the Canary Islands. I got to get there. Don't they have those big rock stone statues there on the Canary Islands?

Yeah, we got to see those. Man, I can't do a lifetime without looking. I've seen the pictures. I've got to see them live. I got to see the rock stone heads live on the Canary Islands. They don't want you there either. They want to curb the influx of tourists there. Good.

You know what? Good, you don't want our money? Fine. It's not just America, Jeff. It's all tourists we're talking about. Uh-huh. That's exactly who they mean. They mean Americans.

And if they don't want our money, fine. We'll spend it here. We don't have any money anyway. We're not going on vacation anyway. We just did the study yesterday. You talked about the people not going on vacation because they can't afford it.

Well, don't go then. And if we're not... If we can't go on vacation, but we're taking, I guess we're going to staycations. We're doing those. No problem. Do that anyway. You should be doing that anyway. You should be going on vacation here in the United States of America.

If you're a United States citizen, if you're a Spaniard, stay in Spain. If you're a Franconian, stay in France. If you're a Canarian, stay on your own damn island. Fine. Keep it that way. Japan too. How about you too, Indonesia? Stay there.

You don't want our money? Fine. We don't want yours either. Welcome. I'm just speaking for myself. Welcome. But if you'd like to, you know, advertise for, I don't know, some vacation tourists throughout in Indonesia, I'm here.

Let me know. Reach out to me. You can DM me on X at Jeffrey JFR. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Thank you to the person who sent me the email reminding me that the Alec Baldwin trial is being covered in full on court TV. CourtTV.com. So if I'm distracted, I'm watching the trial.

They picked the jury yesterday. And opening statements are to begin this morning, as a matter of fact. you're hearing this, probably the opening statements will have already been opened. And so I'm looking forward to it. They all, I mean, they're covering it. Alex showed up.

He's got his glasses on. A little behind the eight ball. But that's fine. No problem. And just remember that I love this trial. Now, they're saying that his, remember we talked about him

and his reality show with this. family and they were pissed that he was asking for all this money and then he he wanted separate money and the family wanted separate money and it was a lot for a reality show but i guess they they are they inked the deal i guess the promo work because originally i was told that the they did the promo for the show and that was premature but i guess it wasn't the deal aside and they are making plans for the reality show to be done if he is found guilty in jail. That will be awesome. Now that'll get some numbers. That's money well spent if he goes to jail. Do I think he's going to go to jail? No, I do not. But do I want him to go to jail now just for the

reality show? You bet you. There'd be nothing more fun than watching Alec Baldwin in jail. But I think it's silly and I hate sticking up for him, but I'm happy. you know, for the reality show. And then I'll have to watch it. I'll have to. I'll have to give the show ratings, which then makes him happy and more money. And, ah,

just hate the whole thing. But I will be watching the entire trial. And, you know, we'll keep you updated on what's happening with our good friend. And I could go, we've, we've gone, you know why he's on trial for the shooting and the rust shooting. It's been almost three years now. Wow. Wow.

and the whole thing is it's sad but is he guilty of manslaughter stop it no it was an accident on a movie set and what's her face is already serving jail time 18 months for the exact same thing and we're going to do the same thing with Alec no no we can't do that

all right I'll stop I'll let it go for now but just no when any big breaking news happens in this trial, don't worry about Court TV because I'll tell you everything that you need to know right here about Alec Baldwin. Okay. You know, now's a good time to buy office space

or lease it or whatever you want because according to this new study from Moody's that started tracking office vacancies nearly 50 years ago. The vacancy rates hit a record 20% in quarter or two of this year. So that's the lowest it's ever been.

In particular, they highlight San Francisco where the vacancy rate reached 34.5%. Wow. So that's, I mean, that's why the pre-pandemic was even lower than that. Wow. So they just were happy about renting square footage to some open AI office company that's going there. But you can get a good deal on an entire building in San Francisco. I mean, they're crushing for people.

So now's the time. Anyway, if you're looking for office space and you thought, you know, before they start letting illegals move into these buildings for nothing, I should rent it. So just be on the lookout for that because now's the time. Vacancy. We have vacancy. are lit up all over cities across America,

not only San Francisco. Plus, are companies going back to the offices? I don't think they are. I think companies after the pandemic realized, hey, maybe we don't need 800 million square feet of cubicles. Maybe we only need, I don't know, 100,000 square feet of cubicles.

And then the rest of you can just stay home. We don't want to see you anyway. I think that's where we're at. So good luck to the building maintenance people, because you're going to be fixing up a building and then it's going to be a ghost town. I mean, we're at 30%? Well, 20% overall, nationwide, over 30% in San Francisco.

I'd be interested to see what New York is now, too. It doesn't say in this particular story. But I bet you New York has got to be at least 20% And that's a lot of empty spaces, man. A whole lot of empty spaces. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

We talked about Target, not taking checks anymore, but they said, hey, we're still taking cash and, you know, debit cards and credit cards. And you can still write a check to pay off your Target one credit card. Would you worry about that? But we're not going to take your check here at the store. Well, I see where a popular UK tourist attraction, I guess they still want.

tourists, unlike Barcelona, they decided to go cashless. So apparently the visitors to these Roman bath houses, these Roman baths, which, I mean, who doesn't like love Roman baths? Thank you. I know. Me too. And so people would go there and they would throw money into the bath. You know, it was like a wishing well kind of thing.

And they were like, oh, no, don't do that anymore. We're going cashless. You can leave a donation up here up front because we're tired having to clean all the money out of these baths. It's too tiring. And we've got to, we don't want you to throw coins into the bath. Just, you know, tap the contactless point.

You know, making a wish with putting your card on a machine and saying, I'll give you, can you give a penny on your credit card? I guess so. but I don't know. Yeah, I mean, they're going to use you. You have to do at least a dollar, right? It's not the same. That's not the same as making a wish and throwing it into a wishing well.

I mean, I don't know what kind of wish you're wishing for when you're throwing the money into the bathhouse, but that's on you. You can make whatever wish you want. However, they said, hey, don't do it. We don't like it. We're tired of cleaning up all these coins out of the bathhouses. We're sick of it. Well, now they're whining that they are losing all this money.

because people are like, well, you don't want our coins in the bathhouses and we're not going to give you any money. And they've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because people are like, well, okay, well, then we're not going to give you coins and we're definitely not charging our credit card for a wish in your bathhouse. So there's another thing. Going cashless is, well, less than optimal.

I guess they would be suboptimal. So just remember, I don't know if they're going to start allowing people to throw coins back in the cash. Yeah, maybe that's what they do. That's a good idea, actually. So in my ear I hear gift cards. That's a good idea. So you sell the gift cards at the front gate of the bathhouse.

And you say these gift cards, well, you can't throw them in the bathhouse because we still got to clean them up. But you can throw them in this little well over here, the little bathhouse wishing well gift card hole and that's where you can make your wish with your gift card don't throw it in the bath

in the bath don't do it if we catch you throw it on the bath we're going to have to put you down we're sorry about it we're just going to put you down wow that would be a nice story bathhouses in UK killing people we had to your honor we told them don't throw the card in the bath

And they did. We had to put them down. So it's not going to be the same thing. But you could do it, though. It would work better than just say, use your credit card. Don't throw money into the bathhouse. Seriously, at least gift card.

Sell them a gift card. And for a dollar on this gift card, that's a big wish. That's a big wish. Not just a penny. I spit on a penny wish. You need a dollar wish. and it really will come true

if you put the card into that little water hole right there. Not the big one though. Don't do that. Okay, I'm still stuck on reading about the bathhouse because it's a historical site. It's the best preserved Roman ruins in the world, which they claim were constructed in 70 AD

and it's the UK's most popular attraction after Stonehenge. Yeah, I mean, hello Stonehenge. So the site includes, the sacred spring, the Roman temple, and the Roman bathhouse, and an accompanying museum. Of course, they have a museum. And we have some trinkets over there that you can buy, too. And by the way, that bottle right there, yeah, that's bathwater. You go ahead and buy that for some cash, too.

Let me throw your penny in that. Anyway, so last year, wow, last year they only made $4,500 worth of donations via contactless payments. Wow. I mean, they were making like $17,000, $200,000 a year with people throwing coins in the bath. I think that would outweigh the damage to the baths, right? That's what they're saying is that, oh, it's too much damage to this old structure,

and we have to clean it, and, you know, the cost of taking these coins out of the water, and we just can't do it anymore. And there's apparently a big push now to reverse this order. Yeah, they'll be, kids will be able to make their wishes back in the bathhouse. And is that who's making the wishes? The little kids coming to the Roman bathhouse?

Hey, this is where everybody bathed together and did a lot of bidness in here. Why don't you throw your coin in there and see what happens? What's the kid wishing for? I know what I'm wishing for. When I'm throwing the penny in the bathhouse, I bet to the kids now. I mean, if he is, he's getting a fist bump, but I doubt that he is. I mean, all right, I'm done. Let's go to the break room.

need something cold to drink desperately. So I saw a promo for a new series, Mastermind to Think Like a Killer, which is going to be up on Hulu. And I see where it starts, I think the end of this week on Hulu. I went to it and there's a three-episode, you know, documentary or docu-series.

And on this, it's with executive producers, Dakota and Ellie Fanning. And it's about the Dr. Ann Burgess, who was part of the BSU and the FBI serial killer unit and the profilers. And she was behind the development of a lot of the serial killer profiling,

just like a mastermind was. And it's not a mastermind, it's Mind Hunter with John Douglas, who we've talked to here on Chewing the Fat, who was a profiler and FBI guy, who is awesome. So anyway, I was reading a story about it, and I remember I thought it was supposed to be out already. They announced that it was supposed to be out and running already.

And if I don't know what delayed it, I don't know what the deal is, but anyway, I'm looking forward to mastermind to think like a killer. The docu-series. Should be fun. Should be fun to see. I'm looking forward to it. And then there's the, we learned yesterday as well.

And, you know, do we need it? I mean, doesn't Hollywood have any new ideas? Don't they have any? You know, they can direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR. They can message me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. They can message me on my YouTube page, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. They can email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You know what?

They can even message me on Cameo. They can follow me on Cameo at Jeffey JFR. And that would be free for them to just follow me on Cameo. I mean, if they order one, that's going to cost them some money. It would cost you some money as well. It's just the way the app works. But they don't have any new ideas. They can get a hold of me.

We can talk. We can come up with some sort of ideas. Because now I see the devil wears Prada is officially getting a sequel. It's been, what, 18 years? Now, I liked the devil wears Prada, even though it was Merrill Streep, who is agonizing to me. She's one of the best actresses of all time, Jeff. Yeah, I know. She's the best.

But apparently, we're getting a new one. Is Anne Hathaway going to be in it again? I mean, is Merrill Street still alive? Don't even, she's alive, Jeff. Stopping. You saw her on the show with What's Her Face. You know, only murders in the building. I know.

It almost ruined it for me. I love Only Murders in the Building. It's a fun show. and I enjoyed the heck out of it but having Merrill on there was almost a ruination of the series for me but I sat through it

and I think she's coming back anyway so the devil wears prodig. Seriously get a hold of me. We'll come up with some new ideas for you okay? I know everyone's will be excited about it and it'll be great and I guess it is going to be

they talk about Merrill and Emily reprising their role So what is Merrill going to be in the nursing home? And Emily's going to be taking care of her at the nursing home and making sure that she is dressed in Prada at the nursing home? I hope so. I hope so. Today in room 11.

I need some sun. Take me out to the patio. That'll be a great movie. Time for your bath. Okay, I'll stop now. Although I may watch the bath scene. Just it's worth, you know, it might be worth my time. To really fast forward once it hits streaming.

I'm not going to the theater to see it. But I'll fast forward once it hits streaming to get to the bath scene. Just let me know the time. You know, I've become a slight fan of the WNBA just because of Caitlin Clark. And I watch the fever when they're on on the weekends. I catch the game. I enjoy watching.

Oh, Caitlin. I'm there for Caitlin. And I like, there's other great players in the WN. NBA, but they're not driving me to watch the games. I'm watching it because of Caitlin. So it's damn near a crime that she's not on the Olympic team. I mean,

it really is criminal. I know they just announced the men's team and they're making a big deal about LeBron being there and this will be his, I don't know, his 100th time there and he'll win another gold medal. I'm surprised he didn't mandate Bronny be on the team so they could

father and son get their own gold medals together. That may actually happened. Anyway, the, so, I mean, and so Caitlin not being on the women's basketball team for the Olympics, that's criminal. That shows so much hatred for her. And I don't care what kind of excuses they have. That's completely criminal. It should be, should not have been allowed. So now, remember like this last weekend, she just did something a rookie had never done before in the WNBA. She had triple double. Okay. She's had double doubles. And Angel Reese, her main competitor and person who hates her the most

has had, I don't know, a record of, I think, 10 double doubles now this season, maybe more. And I apologize. I really, I think it's 10 in a row. Anyway, she's been great. She's been playing really well. And she's had double double,

she hasn't had a triple double. So on the same day that Caitlin sets the, hey, the first NBA, or WNBA rookie to have a triple double, Angel gets another double double, which I think was her 10th in a row or something like that. And so Chicago took out a big ad saying, you know, we got a double double rookie or whatever.

It was just a slap against Caitlin because they want Angel to be rookie of the year. Well, that's not going to happen. And I just looked at where they just released the rookie of the year standings, the mid-season rookie of the year standings. Caitlin is by far ahead, like 9 to 5. although one panelist who votes

chose not to vote. Give me a break. But Caitlin has got the Indiana fever. If the season stopped now, they're halfway through the season, they are in playoff range. Okay, so if the season stopped now,

they would be in the playoffs. I haven't been in the playoffs in years. That's why they drafted her one to lift the team up, which would be, I don't know, the reason to be rookie of the year. You took your team to the playoffs. I don't even know

if they've ever been to the playoffs. I don't care that much to look. But most definitely, I mean, they were the worst team in WMBA season in the last few years because they got the number one pick or the number one and two pick the last couple of years because they've been so bad. So, I mean,

she's going to be a rookie of the year. And it just makes me smile because they're doing everything they can to bring Caitlin down. She does nothing but just keeps playing basketball, baby. Just keeps playing basketball and saying good things. And I'll give you an example of what ticks me off about Angel Reese.

And then I'll be done talking about the WNBA. So the Sky, Chicago is the team that Angel Reese plays. And they played Indiana a couple weeks ago, a couple weekends ago. And they won. They beat Caitlin. Caitlin was tough game. And Angel had a great game. Angel was really good in the last quarter.

So at the end of the game, they talk to Angel Reese. She's the winning team. She's the rookie. She's the star. We talked to her. And so they ask her, hey, Angel, you know, you came on strong here at the fourth quarter. Everything is wrong. And her reaction wasn't, yeah, we're the team was good.

Yes, we fought back. We won. It was a tough game. Indiana has a good team. You know, we're lucky to get out of here with the win. No. Her reaction was, That's because I'm a dog.

You can't teach a dog. You can't teach that. And I'm like, Angel. No, baby. No. That's not, that's not, you're not winning anybody to your side. You're not winning anybody to your side. Sorry.

And that's why it makes me smile, knowing that Caitlin Clark will be the rookie of the year. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister.

This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Who died today?

Who died today? Well, let's begin with Jim Inhoff, former senator from the great state of Oklahoma, has passed away at the age of 89. Apparently he had a stroke over the 4th of July weekend and passed away. I mean, he was part of the political landscape for 50 years, man. And he ran for, he won his last election in 2020 and then stepped down. before his term was set to end. And he had been sick and he was getting,

not feeling well at all. And then obviously they said that, the family said that he died of a stroke over this, over this Fourth of July holiday. So rest in peace, Jim Inhoff, a former senator from the great state of Oklahoma.

And so people have been angry at some of the headlines about his, about his death, because he had said, I mean, that's a quote from Jim Inhoff. The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people, climate change. I mean, he was not a fan of all this BS. And now they're mad that, you know, the headlines like Politico,

former Senator Jim Inhoff who called climate change a hoax dead at 89. I mean, it's true. It's not a lie. It's just, you know, not nice. It's just, you know, the guy who went against what we believe is now dead, good. That's what happens. So anyway, Jim Inhoff, rest in peace, at the age of 89. Then we have Joe Bonsal, Joe Bonsal, dead at the age of 76.

you know him as the deep voice guy from the Oak Ridge Boys. Remember the oob, bo, oh. No, you don't remember that? Wow. My grandpa used to play that music for me. Anyway, he's the big low voice guy for the Oak Ridge Boys. He is dead at the age of 76. He officially died from complications of amiotrophic lateral sclerosis

at the age of 76. Joe Bonsal, he's, I mean, he's been in the country music Hall of Fame, the grandal opera, cast, I mean, it's the Oak Ridge Boys. I know he's there or not, whatever, whatever awards they could win, they won. And so Joe Bonsal, you know him from dead at the age of 76. Then we have Cassandra Ortiz. Now, Cassandra Ortiz is dead at the age of 32, rest in peace. The reason Cassandra is now in the news is because her mother is a little pissed,

that things were not handled the best. I think they were. I think they were handled the best way possible. She's upset. Cassandra weighed 850 pounds. and so when she died in her mother's home, took over 30 men, including firefighters, police, EMS, and staff from a funeral home, 12 hours to get her out of the house.

I'm not laughing. I don't know why you're looking at me like that because I'm not laughing. Now, her mother said no funeral home would accept her. You fat, shaming bastards, everyone of you. So they finally found, they had to show. ship her out of state. This was, she was from Wisconsin. And then,

uh, there wasn't a crematory in the Milwaukee metro area. So they shipped her off. They shipped her off. Uh, another crematorium in another state. Uh, now I'd also, uh, sadly, uh, once

they got her out of the house, they had her in a, a van. And, uh, Well, they couldn't get her out of the van. Those were the firefighters and the EMS guys had to go do what they do other than pull 850-pound women out of homes. And so they just left her in the van overnight.

What are they going to do? What are they supposed to do? And so then they, you know, they drove over to Illinois. Apparently there's a fat guy funeral home, and Illinois that will burn you. I guess. I don't know. Maybe it was some kind of animal place.

I don't know. I don't know. It seems. It's not funny, and I wish you'd stop laughing. You know, at one point in my life, I had a song written, It's around,

you could find it somewhere in the archives of stupid radio bits, but I wanted to be, my goal was to be craned out of my house. I wanted to be craned out of my house. I was, when the doctor said, You know, hey, you look like you put on a few pounds.

I said, yeah, I'm looking to get to, you know, 500 pounds. And so good luck. So that was my goal. You know, it was my goal. Because everybody has a goal losing weight. And I was looking to, you know, make it happen. And so there was, I was a song made. I want to be craned for Christmas.

That was for me. And I never happened, by the way. It never happened. I know, sadly. But, I mean, we've talked about it at length when it takes to, it takes a lot of work. to get to 850 pounds. That just doesn't happen overnight.

And the mother, who's upset that, you know, it took all these people to get her out of the house and then, you know, shove her into a van and then ship her off to another state to have her burned up because the funeral home was like, well, I got no table to set her on. I don't know.

Can't fit her in my fireplace for, sorry about that. I mean, I'd love to be able to, I'd be able to have her cremated here. But I can't right now because she's not going to fit. We could maybe cut her in half lengthwise, maybe. But so that would be wrong. But the mother had to be the enabler. If she's living in the mother's house, the mother had to be the enabler.

At 850 pounds, she's not mobile. Right? We've talked about this at length before. I've talked about what it takes. You know, you don't become 850 pounds overnight. You can quote me on that. And you don't become immobile overnight. You build up.

to it. You know, you reach a weekend where you go, I'm just not going to, I'm just not going to go anywhere. I'm just not going to stay right here on this bed. And you stay. And your enabler brings you food and you eat. And maybe you go to the bathroom. Maybe you, you know, then your enabler comes and cleans you off and hoses you down. Oh, I know. We're not supposed to talk about all that. But that's what happens. And so you do it for two or three days. And then you get up and you shower and you hose off and you clean the sheets and then you might get up and waddle to the kitchen to eat something and waddle

back to the living room and then you think man it felt pretty good not to move for those two days so I'm just going to sit here and not move again for a couple more days you work up to it it takes work so it's not our fault that it's not our fault that it took 30 people to get your daughter out of the house

okay it's not our fault that once we had her in a van, we had to go rescue other people. And so, I mean, we left her in the van. I was sure it was cold outside, so it was Wisconsin. She was fine. And then I don't know who drove her.

I drove her to Illinois, but, you know, yeah, maybe we put her on the back of a, back of a truck and hauled her off. I hope they had a cat scale. Anyway, rest in peace. to Cassandra Ortiz. I mean that. Rest in peace.

Dead at the age of, what did I say she was? I don't know. She's in her 30s. But, you know, the most important thing was that she was 850 pounds and mom was pissed.

So, yeah, she was like 32, I think. Which is sad because she's young. 32 years old, that's your prime of your life. If you're, you know, 100. Anyway, but 32, you're still pretty young.

I'm sorry that she's dead, so don't stop looking at me like that, all right? I'm sorry that she's rest in peace, Cassandra Ortiz, dead at the age of 32.

now and I'm fine I said then would stay in the United States my stepdad

always used to say there's too many things too many beautiful things to see here in the United States of America,

see them before you start thinking about going around the world to see other places. See what we have to offer here in this country. So maybe you go, I looked at a, I was just sent a new list of the best barbecue cities in America. Maybe you'd take a tour

and do your own best barbecue cities in America tour to see and rank them yourself. So the top 10, best barbecue cities in America. Number 10. New York. Number nine. Chicago. I already just like, what?

No, those two cities? Come on now. Number eight, San Antonio, Texas. Maybe. Number seven, Austin, Texas. Yeah, there's some good barbecue in Austin. St. Louis, Missouri. I don't think St. Louis could match up with Kansas City,

but Kansas City is a couple steps up at number four. Los Angeles is number five. Stop it. those are those are the barbecue trucks that doesn't count as being Los Angeles then of course like I said Kansas City is number four Houston Texas Memphis Tennessee yeah

and Kansas City Missouri most of these are not the South Carolina barbecues because those barbecue cities all use that mustard base nasty nastiness I don't know you can't even count that as barbecue Okay. Don't look, don't even side on me

about that. You cannot, I'll never, I despise mustard-based barbecue sauce. I'll never forget a friend of mine

said, hey, I'm barbecuing some chicken up, come on over, I just got a new recipe, we're going to barbecue up. Come on over, you would love it.

And I'm like, all right, barbecue chicken. And it was this nastiness, mustard-based barbecue sauce. I was the worst I ever had my life.

It was just terrible. And I had an aunt. who's, well, I called her my aunt. She was actually my aunt's girlfriend, but we weren't supposed to know that she was my aunt's girlfriend. You know what I'm saying? She always, whenever we went there, she made this chicken dish that was some kind of nastiness-based mustard thing too.

And because nobody wanted to tell her that it was terrible, everybody was like, oh, yeah, no, it's delicious, we love it. She kept making it. And I'm like, no, stop. You're not telling her it's good, are you? I mean, I'm a kid. I'm a fat kid. Don't, I can't, what am I going to say?

It sucks. No, I get my head bashed in. You know, somebody's reaching across the table in Colcock and me. No, it's not. Shut up. So I'm just, you know, I'm faced with just, you know, eating what I can of it. That's a fat guy thinking right there.

I'm faced with just eating what I can of it. But no, I'm not having it. I want the Kansas City Los Angeles you know barbecue that's what I want okay I don't want that nasty South Carolina I'm sorry I like South Carolina

I love you beautiful state North Carolina love you too In fact I actually considered moving to North Carolina at one point in my life but not for the barbecue was not for the barbecue All right so I got an email

Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com telling me that here's some dad jokes for you for free from Eric. So I don't think I'm going to read them all because a couple of them are terrible. They're even terrible per dad jokes, but which you wouldn't care because you haven't seen the email. So we'll just read you a couple of them that are kind of funny here that you can take with you for today, okay? You don't need a parachute to go skydiving,

but you will need a parachute to go skydiving twice. Ha! Oh, see, that's funny because if you didn't have it the first time, you'd crash. And, I mean, I know somebody that actually died from skydiving with the parachute not opening up. So thanks for opening up that wound. I appreciate that. Okay, dad joke number two. I know a guy that also lived multiple times, broke his back like three or four times skydiving.

This old man, he was, darn it, what's his stupid name? I'm sorry, I apologize for not remember his name. But he, I mean, he broke his back like two or three times skydiving. And I was like, dude, why are you still doing it? It's fun. Okay. All right. Great.
