And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Wow. Ford and Mazda have issued Do Not Drive warnings covering more than 457,000 vehicles that contain the recalled Takata airbags. According to the release on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website, and man, who doesn't go there every day, Ford's warnings covers. 374,290 model year 2004 to 2014 vehicles, comprising a range of models that were part of a previous recall. It also includes Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.

Mazda's covers 82,893 previously recalled model year 2003 to 2015. The NTSA, NHTSA, right, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Duh. urges owners of the vehicles do not drive them until a repair is completed and the defective airbag is replaced okay uh but you said that i needed to pull it in for the recall and you'd let me know yeah don't drive it okay well what could happen if i do well uh just as a reminder 27 people in the U.S. have been killed by a defective Takata airbag, and only 400 people in the U.S. have been injured by them. That's it, though. That's it.

People 27, nothing. 400 people hurt. Happens every day in America. But now they're saying, don't drive them at all. We don't want to pay out any more people. dying. We don't want to pay out anymore. People getting hurt. We don't want any family members getting hurt. We care about you. But what we really care about is our money. And we don't want to pay it out. So get the airbag replaced.

How are they still using these Takata airbags? I mean, they're going to be putting in, it's not a new company. It's going to be putting in a new Takata airbag. Hopefully this one works good. I mean, that's all we can hope for. I don't know that we're going to hope for them to work well. We just have to hope that it works good. Did the airbag go off and you didn't die? Yeah, okay, we're fine. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat.

You know, speaking of vehicles, I see a story from a realtor.com. And the story is by Julie Taylor. And Julie, I'm sure you're a fine reporter, but your story is, I lived in America's first car-free community. here's why this trend could catch on. Like most people, hate getting stuck in traffic.

So when Pete heard about a new community where he wouldn't need to own a car at all, he was intrigued. It's just 15 miles from downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The cul-de-sac has billed as the first car-free community built from scratch in the U.S. In 2023, nearly 140 residents moved in, and there were plans to expand to 1,000 residents. and 760 apartments on 17 acres by 2025. How's that going for you?

Are we reaching our goals? It doesn't say. Now, apparently this person was living in Denver with his teenage son. I guess the wife kicked him out and took all his money. And so he decided to move where it was a car-free community. But here's the thing. Pete and Julie It's not the first car-free community

The reason that cars were invented Is because the country was a car-free community From the beginning That's why we invented cars Plus, I don't know if you know this And this is just a side note from me Michigan The Great State of Michigan

right here, as you can see, I'm holding up my hand for the state of Michigan. Right between the lower peninsula and the upper peninsula is a place called Mackinaw Island. And on that island, there are no cars allowed. Huh, would that be a car-free community? Yes, it would. And it's been that way for years. I don't know, forever. So your little Phoenix Arizona cul-de-sac is a cute little thing.

But it certainly isn't the first car-free community, is it? And I don't even want to get started on being car-free, because no. No, thank you, no. That's not going to happen. I can't do that. In Dallas-Fort Worth, everything is not a matter of, well, how far is it? Is it a couple miles, a mile? No, it's all timed.

It's going to take you about 10 minutes. It's going to take you about 30 minutes. It's going to take you about 45 minutes. And if you hit traffic, probably an hour. It's not worried about the miles. It's not worried about any of that. It's worth about time. The Fort Worth Metroplex is about time.

Oh, it's only two miles. Uh-huh. It's going to take you about 30 minutes. So we're not doing. I lived a long time in my life without an automobile. and I couldn't wait to get the car. And I finally did. I lived a long time with just a bicycle.

And I couldn't wait to get an automobile because it's nice to have a bicycle to ride and especially when it's your transportation. It's nice to have a nice pair of shoes when those are your transportation. But we invented automobiles and that's what we use them for for transportation. And I quit trying to push me back into the 8.

1800s or beyond. Stop it. We're not cavemen anymore. You know, the cavemen, they were car-free communities as well. I just can't take it. I can't, I just can't. And I know what you're thinking. Oh, Fred Flintstone had a car, Jeff.

Well, here's the thing. I know that that was caveman days, but it's not real. Okay. The real life Fred Flintstone didn't have a car. I must say, though, If you are an owner of one of those Ford or Mazda's, the 457,000 vehicles that they're telling you not to drive until you get the Takata airbags fixed,

you're going to be thankful you have a bicycle. I'm not a big bicycle fan driving on the roads. I love, wait, did I say I'm not a fan? I mean, I love them. I love them. There's nothing I enjoy more than bicyclists on the road. but if you have a you know an airbag recall and you can't drive your car I mean you got to do what you got to do you can quote me on that too

you got to do you got to do and it's more important than ever to do what you got to do if you're trying to buy or sell a house because when you have relatives come up to you and say oh my son billy he's just got into the business he'd like to try to sell your house my nephew joey he's been selling houses for a couple of months now, you got to do what you got to do. And you can say, no, thank you. I've already got someone because I went to real estate agents.

I trust.com. Yes, you should do that. Because when it's time to buy or sell a house, especially in this housing market, you're going to need a person that is a leader. You're going to need a person who can actually decide what they're going to do, when they're going to do it, how much you can get for your house, if you need to do anything to remodel before you sell it,

get you the best price for the house you're selling and get you the best price for the house that you're wanting to purchase. Real estate agents, I trust, pairs you with the best 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. Huh, real estate agents, I trust, someone you can trust. Yep, that works. out. Real estate agents I trust

dot com. And no matter what you're trying to do, buy or sell a home, get in touch with them, you'll see exactly what I mean. You'll be able to trust them. Real estate agents I trust.com. You know, Glenn started this a number of years ago because he got tired of cousins and nephews

and friends of friends and he never could sell any of the dumps he used to live in and he ended up selling him for like pennies. And finally he was just like there's got to be a better way and that's when they created really estate agents I trust. So give it a shot whether you're trying to buy or sell a home.

I mean, we've had McDonald's report the worst sales since the start of the pandemic. They're blaming it on price increases, of course. We have Paramount TV studios. We just did a thing the other day where they were laying off some people with their merger. and now they're saying, you know what, we're just going to shut down the entire television studios. Wait, what? Yeah, well, we're restructuring.

Just a few layoffs. Okay. Yeah, last week in this story, it talks about they're laid off 15% of its U.S. employees, yeah. But now we're going to go ahead and shut down the entire Paramount TV studio. Okay. I mean, what are we going to do? I mean, there's a lot of shows that go underneath that.

And that's merger with Skydance. And they're just saying, yeah, we're aware. We're aware that it's a difficult decision. And we're, you know, it's part of our restructuring plan. So, sorry about it. What are you going to do? Keep them open? No.

It'll be fascinating to see what comes of that. Then I saw where right aid stores, all right aid stores in Michigan, closing. Have a nice day. The pharmacy confirmed that they are closing them. We submitted in bankruptcy court, and we are going to do a complete exit from the state as we continue with our bankruptcy proceedings. So things are going well in the country, in the state of Michigan. and for all 186 stores in Michigan, wow, that's a lot.

I mean, just their one distribution center is 191 employees. That doesn't count the store employees, right? Completely gone. So they have 38 Michigan stores gone, shutting down, boarding them up, we're closed, get out of here. We already knew that CVS and Walgreens are shutting down hundreds of stores around the country. You know, part of a restructuring program, of course.

That's all. I mean, CVS closed 600 in 2020. Yeah, you do see a lot of, you do, if you're in an area where there's CVS pharmacy locations, you do see a lot of closed CVS pharmacy locations because those are the building, right? You know a CVS building when you see it. They have the same construction.

That's what they do. That's what they're known for. And that's what I told you. always wanted to open up a bar in one of those and call it the pharmacy, a nightclub. But I don't think they'd let me do that, by the way. But it's just a thought. It's just an idea. If you could do it in your state, if you can take one of those closed-down pharmacies and

open up a nightclub and call it the pharmacy, on me. On me. You're welcome. I just thought it would be a, you know, a good idea. That's all. But what do I know? Then we have the, and this one, I mean, come on it's a gym.

Blink Fitness, which is an affordable gym operator owned by Equinox. They filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The gym operator, Blink Fitness, they have more than 100 locations that was filing for bankruptcy to help facilitate a sale of the business.

Yeah, we're trying to sell the dump, and you know what? We're just going to file bankruptcy. It's it. We're just going to file bankruptcy. It's a restructuring program called We Want to Sell, and we don't want to pay our bills anymore.

We've received a commitment for $21 million in new financing from existing lenders. Have you, though? Founded in 2011, Blink has long billed itself as an affordable gym for everybody. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Now, they operate in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and there are some in Texas. I don't recall seeing a blink fitness in Texas.

I mean, if you're looking for a gym or someone to help you that way, I just go to a Better You Performance. Be Better You Performance.com and talk with a guy there by the name of Elvis Fisher. And he'll take care of you. He has an actual location in Round Rock, Texas, but most of it is online as well. Don't worry about the old blink fitness, okay? But after all that's said and done, you want to say,

oh, the economy, the economy, I see where there's a Casey's General Stores. Casey's General Stores to add 148 Texas stores in a $1.1 billion deal with CFCO and I love, man,

CFCO, C-E-F-C-O, I love them. So almost 200 new Casey's General stores will be set up across three southern states after the company bought Fike's host sale owner of Sefco convenience stores. I don't remember seeing Sefco's. I don't remember seeing Kays.

I don't remember seeing Casey's, and yet they're coming to, they're going to be all over Texas. This is a convenience store with gas stations. So, I mean, are they going to be an old racetrack, and they turn them into a Casey's? They're not Buckees.

I don't think they're trying to compete against Buckees. Maybe they are. I don't know. I've never seen them. It's just weird. Maybe. Why don't you not worry about it, Jeff? They're just coming to Texas, all right?

There's going to be 148 of them, and you'll see them soon enough. Okay, okay, you got me. Let's go to the break room. All right, I need something cold to drink desperately. So they're starting to talk about the numbers of the Olympic viewing, and they're happy with them. NBC is very happy with the numbers. They claim that the 2024 Paris Olympics brought in over 30 million viewers a day

across NBC platforms, which was an 82% increase from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Yeah, nobody cared about the Tokyo Olympics. They did. I mean, we did, but it just didn't have the same feel. Now, they're saying that the audience for the 2024 Olympics compares favorably to those in 2016 and 2012 where they had 26 or 30 million.

Yeah. I mean, Tokyo was the COVID Olympics. It's kind of, you know, there wasn't any big audience. And that hurts a lot, man. It hurt any kind of sporting event that were the event. We still wanted the event to happen, and we watched it. But without the fans there, it makes it so disconnected. It makes it disconnected for whatever sport you're doing,

and it makes it disconnected for you watching. Because if I'm watching a game, and it's a, I mean, there's nothing like watching. For example, say a Saturday night college football game. And there's 100,000 people there. And you tune in, the lights are on, the crowd is screaming. There's 100,000 people, two and three to a mule coming into that stadium. And you're part of it. It's part of the deal.

And you go to that same game. The game still means as much, but the lights are on and nobody's there. You know, you've got a cardboard cutout at the 50-yard line. And that's, I mean, that's what we found out. So they claim that for the 17-day run-up, of the games NBCU had a daily average of 4.1 million streaming viewers primarily on Peacock. They also had two Paris extra digital outlets. NBCU also says one of the one of every five Olympic viewers spent time with Gold Zone, which was the hub that often showed multiple events

at once and featured nearly every gold medal winning moment. Yeah, that was kind of cool. Telemundo also grew and they also claimed that it helped my man, Lester Holmonde, Holt. God love that. I mean, they say it helped the Today Show, too. They were all there. Today is averaging 3.1 million viewers over that time. That's all they get.

Today Show? Three million people? Wow. Times have changed. So, let's see. NBC Knightley grew to 7.6 million viewers compared to 2.52

million and 5.7.3 and 4 weeks before the games. I mean, Lester, You got to pick up the pace, baby. I know David Muir over there at ABC was kicking your butt, but no longer. Ride high, Lester. You're on the top right now, baby. NBC Nightly News with Lester Holtz.

You're on the top, baby. You know, the only reason I like Lester Holt, and I really don't. I mean, he's okay. He's fine, he's fine. I got no really love for him other than, I believe he got screwed when Brian Williams took over. He should have been the host. the nightly news desk.

He should have got that gig then. Because he was over in Europe doing Europe. He was the guy then. And they gave it to Brian Williams. How'd that work out? How'd that work out? And so now then they came back and gave it to him after Brian and his debacle.

So I just, that's the reason I'm on Lester's side, just for that. Yeah. It's a little side story. So Sportico released franchise valuations of the top 10 NFL teams. And guess who was? Number one. Yes, you guessed it, the Dallas Cowboys. Now, it wasn't too long ago that we were told they were worth $9 billion.

They're not worth $10.32 billion. Jerry Jones has got a pretty good sports franchise over there. He better win some freaking postseason games, but he's got a pretty good sports franchise over there. The Los Angeles Rams came in at $7.79 billion, $7. Number two, followed by the New York football Giants at $7.65 billion.

The New England Patriots, $7.31 billion. You've got to pick up the pace, Robert. What are you doing, man? Letting the Giants get out in front you like that? And the San Francisco 49ers, $6.86 billion. Then you've got the jets at $6.8. Dolphins is

6.7. Wow. Eagles, 6.7. Commanders. The commanders are worth 6. $6.3 billion. That god-awful team. They got to pick up the pace too, though, man. Holy cow. The Raiders are worth $6.7 billion. Yeah. Collectively,

the NFL franchises are worth $190 billion. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Now, I will say that includes, you know, the team-related businesses and all the real estate held by the owners and all of these teams, like Jerry has done, and all these teams are now doing it, Robert Kraft in New England. They buy up all those stuff around the stadium,

and all that is part of the team, the full package of the Dallas Cowboys, and the full package of the New England Patriots, and the full package of the Washington commanders. Yeah, the full package of everything. And a pretty smart move, but that's a lot of money. Now, I'm sure Dak Prescott wants his cut of that money. So does C.D. Lamb.

We could talk of sports. I can break into some sports talk if you'd like. But I don't know what Jerry is thinking, but if he doesn't do something, is this going to be another crappy Dallas Cowboy Year? They're going to win 10, 11 games, maybe 12, go to the playoffs, get their butt kicked, and then it's going to be over.

I mean, one of the headlines, I think one of my favorite headlines, about them being valued at $10 billion, was from, who really? this. I don't know. Whoever wrote it, good job. I don't know who you were. If you shaved $52 million off the valuation for every one of the 48 points

the team gave up to the Green Bay Packers in their playoff shalacking last year, they'd still be the most valuable franchise in the NFL. That's funny business right there. Oh, did you know? I just found this out this morning. Today is the 14th of August, 24, for those of you listening live,

you can follow me on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR on X, Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. You can follow me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

And you can order a cameo from me at any time at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. That, of course, is not free.

but you just go to the Cameo app and do your thing and it all works out at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. Okay, so I did not know that there is a secret warehouse of Titanic artifacts. Huh? I know. And now you're going to say, wait, if it's secret, how do we know?

Well, we know that it's a secret warehouse with Titanic artifacts in it and somewhere in the greater Atlanta area. It seems like a weird place to keep it. I know. They didn't ask me. You're looking to me like, what was it doing there?

I don't know. That's why I just found out today. I don't know. I just know that's where they're telling me it's at. So the exact location of the warehouse where everything is stored, and closely guarded, because the value of its contents,

I mean, it's incalculable, really. So all they can tell us in the story is that it's somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia. Okay. So inside, the shelves are packed with thousands of items from an upturned bathtub, a dented porthole, to etched glassware. I guess the BBC,

according to this story written for the BBC was given a rare chance to look around the storage facility I don't know were they taken their blindfolded were they put it in the back of a van and driven in blindfolded so they didn't know exactly where it was I hope so I hope so I don't want to trust who wrote this stupid article

for the BBC Rebecca Burrell science editor and Alice Allison Francis I want to know I want to know I want you to I do not trust them especially someone from Great Britain. Anyway, so we let them into Georgia. Whatever.

All right, so they've got an alligator bag hiding. They go down the list of all the stuff that's in their perfume that still packs a punch. And let's see, they've got, they talk about all the people who survived. I'm sure they have pictures there of all the people who survived. There's nobody that lived. Good for them. So also in the collection is the show.

champagne bottle complete with a champagne inside and a cork in the top. Aw, isn't that special? Yes. The striking of the iceberg content spilled out, creating a vast debris field. Yeah, we know all that. There are lots of bottles on the ocean floor, a lot of stock pots, kitchen pots. Yeah, because it broke up, we got all that. So they got all the opulent stuff and probably some of the lower level things, you know, that the people down there used can't take all of those.

We don't put those over there in the back of the warehouse. We don't need to see those. That's where they made the stew for those people. Yeah, we don't have that. Let's show that put the champagne up front. Put the champagne up front. I mean, it's just incredible. And I'm trying to find out if they give any, the class divide.

Yeah, we know all about that. We know everything else that we know about. I just never knew that there was the actual secret location of this warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia. And I mean, if they were not taken there under the cover of darkness, then there's a problem. There's a problem. Because now someone could take Rebecca or Allison a hostage and make them tell where this secret

warehouse is. And apparently, we do not want that. With Amex 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. You know, so I've had this in the fat pile for a couple of days, and I've just started digging into it a little bit.

So there's been a settlement announced for claims from the Maui wildfires. Now, they claim that they have a deal in principle, and it's proposed to resolve around 450 legal cases. That's funny how they word that, 450 legal cases. Those of you that are suing outside of this, you're not legal, okay? Take a hike. Go to the other side of the island. How about that?

So they're saying $4 billion, $4 billion settlement, to resolve around $450,000. legal cases. So, what is that, 8 million a piece, something like that? Maybe 9, something like that, okay. You know, I mean, it was the most

deadliest, we all remember the, I mean, we saw the pictures that are horrific and 100 people died and the town of Lahaina is completely gone. So, um, they say that this settlement must fully resolve

all Maui fire claims. Interesting. So it all has to go away. So the settlement will be paid by seven defendants named in the lawsuits lodged in the wake of the fires. State of Hawaii, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric,

Kamakamaha'aha schools. You know, that's what I'm saying. I love the Kama'emaha schools. This was the name of a king of Hawaii. But it was probably made famous more than anything by the Dragon Ball series, manga series, TV series, anime, if you wish. Kamehamehameha is how you say. All that for that, thank you.

I got it. Kamaamaamaama'iaha. That's what I said. Thank you. Oh, man. Messed West Maui Land Company, Hawaiian Telecom and Spectrum Charter Communications. So they're all going to pitch in a few billion, a couple of billion. and they're going to make it go away.

Okay, I would say I would hold out for more, to be honest. Maybe they're just being told, look, this is what you're going to get, and you all get, it better be tax-free. All these people that are struggling, I want the $8 or $9 million or whatever it works out to be, and it better be tax-free. Don't be handing them $8 million and then taxing them half of it going back to you. Okay, you know, you know that's going to happen. I'm serious, it better be tax-free.

Don't be screwing them with the, here's your money and we're going to take half of it back to this coffers. Thank you. And they'll be given half of it to the attorneys either for working out this deal. These people deserve more than just a class action settlement. They had their lives overturned, upturned, burned with people of the loss of life. And now you're just, you're going to toss them to the wolves. I mean, would I be happy to accept a check for $8, $9 million?

Yes, not under those circumstances, though. Never under those circumstances. Good news, though, coming from Canada. I mean, I know we're kind of sad from the Hawaii, Maui wildfires and everything, but Canada has reported that euthanasia was the fifth leading cause of death. Come on. We could do better. We could do better, Canada.

Come on now. No, no, no, no. We're not applauding. No, no, no. I'm not giving them crowd noise. No. We have to do better. I mean, congratulations that you're letting people kill themselves.

But not enough. Not enough. Okay, cancer, heart disease, COVID-19, accidents, and even strokes ranked higher than the medically assisted suicide as causes of death in 2022. Canada, what are you doing? You got to have more people killing them. themselves. You got to allow it. I don't know what your, I don't know what the holdup is. I don't know. Are you trying to keep people alive? I don't know what, I don't know what's wrong.

Is it just me? Because I feel like you could do better. I feel like, I feel like you can do better. Now, they claim that it was going to be carefully monitored. See, this article is saying that this is bad. And I'm thinking it's not good enough. We're looking at two different things here for some reason. I don't know what it is. I mean, I don't want. want people to die from cancer or heart disease, you know, or COVID-19 or any accidents or strokes. But I mean, if they're if they're ranking higher than people killing themselves, what are we doing? I mean, you've got to be in Canada. First of all, I understand Canada. Oh my gosh. We are.

We are in a strange, strange place. Are we not? We sure are. So between 2016 and 2022, deaths from euthanasia have grown 13 times higher than when we originally started. So they are trying to make a difference. They're trying to get better. They're trying to kill more.

Good. Keep up the good work. You can do it. So according to this report, 1,018 people died with medically assisted suicide in 2016. That's compared to

13,241 reported deaths in 2022. Wow. I mean, we are trying to pick up the pace. We're trying to beat the strokes and the heart attacks and the accidents. We literally are. Come on. I mean, what are we doing?

Holy cow. So they break out the numbers here. Yeah, like I said. Okay, so cancer, obviously, number one, heart disease. COVID-19, well, 2022. All right, we're still dying. People are dying from COVID-19. Accidents.

They don't even say what the accidents are. They slipped in the tub, 18,365. And any other diseases, 13,915 ranking higher than the medically assisted suicide death. So, I mean, they are really trying to beat these numbers in Canada. Good. You know what? Good. Keep it up. If somebody comes to you and they say, you know, I want to die. Let them. Is that too far? Or, I mean, it's Canada. I mean, I love Canada. I've got a lot of listeners in Canada, thank you for listening to Chewere the Fat. I don't want you to euthanize yourself or anyone in your family.

I just, I don't. It's never the answer, period. It's never the answer, period. No, let me rephrase that. If you want to, if you want to kill yourself because you're not physically sick, you don't have some sort of illness that you're actually going to die from. I mean, I can understand it if you're really. really sick and you have some

disease that you're not going to, you know, it's just inoperable. But if you're just someone that thinks, I don't want to live anymore, it's not worth it. Of course, it's not right. It just isn't. It just isn't. And I don't know if Canada has 988 or not, but I'm sure they have some number

you can call to get help in Canada. And you know what? If you're on the border, dial 988, maybe somebody in America will pick it up and help you out. I don't know if it works or not, let me know. If you're on the border, call in. We'll help you out there too. I'm almost positive.

People at the lifeline, the 988 lifeline, if you were to call and say, hey, I'm from Canada, they're not going to hang up on you. If they do, if they do, I'd like to know, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Just let me know. Hey, they hung up on me. I want to report that.

penal filler boom and role in sexual health. Well, I'm penile. Okay, you get what I'm saying. I said penal, but it's penile. So apparently, according to this email, the penal, the penile, the penile girth enhancement has rapidly become the most sought after male cosmetic procedure driven by the use of hieroloneric dermal filler, same material used in breast, implants and lip enhancements.

This procedure increases penal width, whether aroused or not, aiming to enhance intimate experiences and boost everyday confidence. Right?

I know. How about some hyaloronic dermal filler? A little penile girth enhancement just for you. baby. Step on over here. Let's see what you got.

We're going to need to have a little bit extra hierolonic dermal filler on that bad boy. Okay, so the study they based their they're hawking their wares is what they're doing. So they have a study, they sent me 90% of women surveyed in this BMC Women's Health. Love that published in BMC Women's Health. found that 90% of women surveyed,

prioritized with over length for sexual satisfaction, while another study linked this procedure to improved mental health outcomes for men. However, due to the lack of regulation, education, and research, many men have fallen victim

to dubious procedures. That's it. Those bastards, they're doing backyard penile enhancements. We talked to Talked about the women getting the butt implants down in Brazil that are cement and they're hurting. Think about that.

If they don't use the hierolonic dermal filler and you get like concrete put in there? Oh, no, we don't want that. So anyway, a network of 30 urologists across 30 plus markets in the U.S., Canada and Mexico is working to desigmatize penile augmentation. Man, how many times when you wake up with the day? We've got to destigmatize penile augmentation and offer a safe, reliable option. So fellow Phil Geirth enhancement is what we're talking about. And they want to come on and talk to me.

They want to have key findings at the Sexual Medicine Conference last fall and the Urology conference in May where they shared new insights at the upcoming sexual health conference coming up in October. And so they've got a doctor. founder of fellow Phil and a doctor, a leading urologist and presenter of the latest studies. And they want to talk about, you know, this penile filler boom and the role of sexual health. So I'm thinking about whether I want to do the interview. I mean, it's almost a no-brainer.

It's almost a no-brainer. So, I mean, this leads into, I mean, three cuts. the clown face has a whole new meaning. Three cuts to clown. Ah, you can write your own jokes. Go ahead, you can write your own jokes. In fact, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with well, it's a joke, a thought for the day.

Something that you can take with you. It's a funny. But really, it's something that should happen every place.
