With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide.
So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
Blaze Radio Network.
And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
A new dialect has been emerging from certain parts of Miami,
due to cultural intermingling between Spanish and Spanish.
and English speakers.
Linguists at Florida International University in Miami said the linguistic development is a perfect example of how human languages are constantly shape-shifting in the face of historical and social conditions.
All words, dialects, and languages have a history, said Professor Philip M. Carter, a director of the Center for Humanities in an urban environment.
at the Florida International University.
So they did a study.
The study consisted of asking 33 people in Miami,
so it is a huge study.
We're walking down the street.
We're calling that a study now.
I hope they got government study money for that.
Now, out of the 33 people,
it included a diverse mix of first generation,
Cuban Americans,
second generation Cuban Americans,
and non-Cuban Hispanic people,
what they thought of more than 50 sentences
that were typical of the new dialect.
Okay, the sentences then had to be rated
on whether they sounded perfect,
okay, awkward, or horrible.
They had to do a study for this from a university.
Now, I just want to be clear about something.
You got study money
to study what you're considering
is a new dialect.
that's been emerging in certain parts of Miami.
That's the intermingling between Spanish and English.
That's been known for years.
I'm not a university professor,
but for years, it's been called Spanglish.
I don't know if you know this,
but it's been called Spanglish,
and we didn't need a study to figure it out.
Welcome!
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Speaking of languages, yesterday we did a story about the new, I don't know,
3,200 words or abbreviations that are now part of phrases that are part of the Cambridge Dictionary in 2024.
And we talked about, you know, chef's kiss, something that you think is perfect or excellent.
We also talked about the written abbreviation for, if you know, you know, from social media.
and I was bugging me all day yesterday because the abbreviation they have in the story is I F Y Y Y K.
That's not right.
That's not right.
I was thinking to my head all day when I remember saying it thinking, that's not right.
If you know, you know, their abbreviation in the story is I F Y Y Y K.
No, that's incorrect.
It's I Y K Y K Y K, if you know,
you know. In this story, they have it as if Y Y YK, if you, you know. It's just, I'm sorry. It's just
been bugging me. I had to get it off my chest a little bit. It's just something that, uh,
just get it correct in the stories. That's all. Now, if we don't have enough to worry about
in our world today, we do know we've got earthquakes going off everywhere. Officials in West Texas
have declared a state of emergency
after experiencing more than 100 earthquakes over the past week.
Okay.
Los Angeles just had a huge earthquake,
a 4.9 magnitude earthquake.
A number of the earthquakes in Texas and greater Dallas area, really.
They had was a 5-1.
Some were 4-8s.
And the threes, I felt the three,
before it's yeah you just kind of
eh you write it out it's like what what was
that and then you realize it was
an earthquake but they've had over a
hundred a hundred
earthquakes in the past week
so something is happening
underground now I know that I'm
sure the environmentalists will blame it
on some kind of oil and
fracking gas extraction
and not so sure I believe that
but we do have earth
changes going on and we've had
eruptions at Yellowstone
we have volcanoes just slowly smoldering in the northwest.
So nothing to worry about.
Don't worry about it.
And if that wasn't enough, we now have to worry about West Nile virus again,
especially here in DFW, where I live and where the show originates from.
We now have people testing positive for West Nile virus,
the non-neuroinvasive disease.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. So we have individuals that have tested positive for the virus.
So just, uh, you know, remember when you just have a mosquito on your arm.
Be careful.
Don't we have enough to worry about?
I mean, we got bird flu.
Now we have West Nile.
Now we have to worry about earthquakes.
My gosh.
I'm tired of worrying about natural disasters.
Oh, bird flu isn't a natural disaster, Jeff.
Neither is West Nile.
That's nature fighting back.
Okay. And speaking of natural disasters,
we mentioned yesterday about the park fire in Northern California
that was started with a guy pushing his car on fire down a ravine
that started this massive fire.
Well, we now, it's 14% contained now.
So the firefighters are working overtime to get this thing contained.
It has burned 373,357 acres.
So far, I mean, I'm sure it's,
But more than that as we speak, that's just the way it works.
The rapid spread of the fire is expected to continue
because the slightly cooler temperatures this week,
I guess, have moderated the fire's intensity,
but there's going to get hotter by the end of the week.
And so the fire will kick up again.
Smoke is affecting air quality across multiple states,
expected to reach as far as the Dakotas and Nebraska.
California has seen 4,574 fires this year, burning 726,667 and counting acres.
That's 2,744% increase from the same period last year.
So, climate change.
I guess it was climate change that caused the man to push his burning car down a ravine and start the fire.
Is that it?
Yes.
Okay.
I mean, that could already be the title of today's show.
Okay.
Sometimes I just don't have the energy to argue.
So it's just like, okay.
Like when we have food recalls.
Or some people would say,
they're poisoning our food products.
Okay.
Sure, there's another cheese product being recalled
because it was found to potentially contain a dangerous
and sometimes deadly bacterian.
That's all.
Kenny's farmhouse cheese.
cheese based in Austin, Kentucky, love them.
St. Jerome Cheese, routine testing by the Kentucky Department of Public Health,
detected the presence of a listeria.
The bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young
children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.
The affected cheese was distributed in retail storefronts and the Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese website
comes in two sizes, eight ounce wedge, and a 15-pound wood.
wheel. Love those 15 pound wheels. Both sizes are packaged and clear plastic with logo sticker
and the lot number 231-1-212-9 on the white label on the side. Now, there's no reported
illnesses that have been linked to this recall, and so, so far, and we just, you know, return it
to the place of purchase for a full refund, or you could just dispose of it. But why would you
dispose of it when you could return it for a full refund? I don't understand.
And the other cheeses are still fine, although the production of St. Jerome cheese has been suspended while the FDA and the company investigates the source of the problem.
Okay.
Then we have the cinnamon recall.
The cinnamon shipped the stores in several states being recalled over concerns that it's tainted with lead.
Okay.
The ALB-USA Enterprises Inc recalled the ALB flavor brand cinnamon powder after analysis conditions.
After an analysis conducted by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station,
loved them, revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead.
It's the same concern that prompted the recall of the Wynabana-Schnucks or Weiss-brand Apple Cinnamon Pouches late last year.
Okay.
The company said it ceased the importing and distribution of the product while it investigates what caused this issue alongside federal health officials.
So.
Okay.
This particular recalled cinnamon package comes in a plastic bag with a net weight of 100 grams.
The image of cinnamon powder and two cinnamon sticks centered at the bottom is displayed on the packaging.
So be careful out there if you purchase the 100 grams of cinnamon bags.
There have not been any illnesses reported so far.
So both of these are just out of an abundance of caution.
And lead can affect every bodily system.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you have to have a lot of it, though, don't you?
That doesn't matter.
That does not matter.
Chronic lead exposure in adults is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension,
neurocognitive effects.
Oh, if a child is exposed to enough lead for a long period of time,
they're at risk of permanent damage to their central nervous system.
This can lead to learning disorders, developmental defects,
and other long-term health problems.
So if your child is out there,
it's bounding down cinnamon.
that's an issue.
Again, okay.

So if you needed some cash and you found it in the backyard, what would you do?
Well, you'd take it to the bank and deposit it.
You know, unless you won the lotto.
I mean, if you're, if you won the lotto, say tonight, if you're listening live, it's
7.30.
It's July 30th, 2024.
The Mega Millions drawing is a $331 million jackpot with,
156.2 million cash payout.
And then there's the powerball with that drawing is tomorrow night,
worth 154 million jackpot with $73.3 million cash payout.
But if you were like Mary Venagos in California,
she was a little upset when she was, well, she was happy and then she was upset.
She found an envelope containing $6,000 in cash,
buried beneath some cardboard boxes in her backyard.
I don't know why you would have cardboard boxes in your backyard with things buried underneath it,
but whatever, you do you, Mary.
And you do you, boo, right?
But her name is Mary, you got it.
So this person living in San, Sacramento, was happy.
She said that she lost it four years ago.
And what did I do with that $6,000?
I don't know.
Just laying around in the...
backyard and that's exactly where it was so she took it to her local bank of america and they said
oh yeah we don't accept cash like that it's too deteriorated dirty and water damage after the four
year stay outside wait what they won't accept it nope so the bank refused to take her money
which was mostly a hundred dollar bills now uh she has to send it to
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
which is a government agency that prints the money,
referred to as the Federal Reserve.
Here's the good thing.
You can either deliver it in person in Washington, D.C.,
or you can mail it to the agency,
with a fully completed and signed BEP Form 5283,
but the redemption process can take anywhere from six months to three years.
So if you were looking forward, like, Mary, to pay some bills with that found $6,000,
like, I guess she has an overdue power bill that she wants to pay off.
So she keeps her power on.
And that can't happen until she either delivers it in person to Washington, D.C.,
to the BEP facility, or mail it to them with a filled out form and then wait until they get around to it,
to deciding whether, yeah, you know, that's a lot.
real money, we'll go ahead and
give you some, we'll give you some cleaned up money.
So now, instead of doing that,
she contacted a local television station.
Huh.
And so, the television station
started poking around, and Bank of America went,
oh, you know what?
We'll go ahead and, we'll accept $5,700.
We'll go ahead and accept that.
We get to deposit that.
And we would just, the other three,
the other $300 is too beat up.
We're not going to cover that.
So then, I mean, they're going to send,
she's going to send in the other $300,
oh, through the mail, I guess,
with her signed BEP form 5283 and see how long it takes
for the United States government to process that
and get her money back to her.
It's interesting that after a TV station started poking around,
you know, with one of their local consumer investigation teams.
Well, it was CBS Sacramento, by the well, I want to go with Call Curtis, which is CBS Sacramento,
good for Call Curtis, the consumer investigations team started poking around.
And the bank went, you know what, you know what, we've decided we're going to go ahead and keep that 57.
Well, you know, we're going to go ahead and accept that $5,700.
Oh, okay.
Well, thank you, Bank of America for being so kind.
and helpful to your customers.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Good news for you Barbie doll lovers,
and you know who you are.
Barbie has announced two new additions
to its growing line of diverse and inclusive dolls,
a blind Barbie,
and the first black Barbie
with Down syndrome.
Yay!
That's always what I wanted.
Aren't all dolls blind?
What do I know?
Nothing is what I know.
Mattel announced the two new dolls on Tuesday
as part of the Barbie's 2024 fashionistas line,
an inclusive range of dolls
with over 175 varieties of skin tone,
eye color, hair color,
texture, body type,
disabilities and fashions.
The line has represented different disabilities.
In the past, we've had Barbies and Ken's
with mobility aids like wheelchairs and braces,
dowels with hearing aids, hair loss,
and...
This is the way for Mattel to make more money.
You get to the Barbie house.
Now you have to get Ken a wheelchair.
I mean, any of the Barbies can be disabled, right?
Or maybe come through surgery and need a wheelchair.
chair. Okay. These particular new dolls were created in a partnership with the non-profit agencies
and advocate for those with vision impairment and blindness and people with Down syndrome.
Mattel said through conversations with members of the communities the dolls represent,
they were able to incorporate accurate details down to the number of lines on the Barbie's
palms. So do
Down syndrome people have
less or more lines on their palms?
I did not know that.
They recognize that
Barbie is much
more than just a doll.
She represents self-expression
and can create a sense of
belonging. Yeah, that's
good. And so just there you go.
Congratulations, Dimitel,
for adding to their
fashionistas line with
their new blind
Barbie doll and
the black doll with
Down syndrome.
Wow. We live in amazing
I see this is again.
This is again. Okay.
I think that is it. That's the title of the show.
You know, just okay.
Like, let's say the gold bikini
worn by the late Carrie Fisher
in return of the Jedi
has been sold at auction for
$175,000. Okay. The costume is one of the most famous outfits in film history. It includes a bikini top,
bikini plates, hip rings, an armlet, and a bracelet. So you get the whole kit and caboodle for $175,000.
Nice. All right. So you get it for, they didn't say who purchased the bikini for $175,000.
The actress also revealed that during the filming, she had to sit very straight because I couldn't have lines on my sides like little creases.
No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid and straight.
At this auction, a miniature Starfighter aircraft that was used in filming of the first Star Wars film was sold for $1.5 million.
Okay.
That's great.
This object is one of only two things.
filming miniatures created for the production.
And a wand used by Daniel Radcliffe in the film Harry Potter and the prisoner of us.
Come on.
Fetched $52,000.
I think that would have went for more.
While a hammer prop from a Thor film.
And it doesn't say which one, but a hammer prop from a horror film sold for $81,000.
Well, you think that would sell?
I mean, I for sure thought that the Harry was.
Harry Potter wand would auction off for more than that.
52 grand.
Okay.
An outfit worn by McCauley Culkin, and I did not know this was up for auction and why wouldn't it be?
An outfit worn by McCauley Culkin in the first Home Alone film was sold for $47,500.
Okay.
Now, this story, I'm sure many of you will go, okay.
the NFL preseason starts Thursday of this week.
I know.
And the football is back, baby.
The Houston Texans are taking on the Chicago Bears in the Hall of Fame game.
Now, we'll C.J. Stroud and what's his face?
The number one pick in the draft.
Caleb Williams play.
I mean, maybe a first set of downs or something.
They've got to play one set of downs, right?
And then get them off the field.
but we'll see. We shall see.
So the numbers that these quarterbacks are getting for their contracts are amazing.
We saw Jordan Love for the Green Bay Packers just sign a new deal for $55 million a year,
which puts him tied with the top three quarterbacks pay schedule on their contracts.
Joe Burrow and Cincinnati gets $55 million a year.
Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville gets $55 million a year.
Tua in Miami gets $53.1 million a year.
Jared Goff.
What a loser!
Gets $53 million a year.
Justin Herbert, even more of a loser for the Chargers,
gets $52.5 million a year.
And Lamar Jackson, who thought he signed a good deal,
gets $52 million a year.
And let's not forget.
The quarterback for the Cleveland Browns,
Deshawn Watson,
who signed a five-year, $230 million contract,
which I believe is fully guaranteed.
So I don't know about these other quarterbacks.
I'm not sure all of what was guaranteed and signing bonuses,
but Deshaun got all of his money guaranteed.
Wow, including, it says here,
almost a $45 million signing bonus,
44,965,000 signing bonus.
So that's an awful lot of money, an awful lot of money for playing football.
Good for them.
I'm all for it.
I'm all for everyone making as much money as they possibly can for doing the job that they do.
But as far as the NFL's concerned, that's a lot of money for one position.
So maybe they're going to have to start rethinking their salary caps
and have specific positions with separate salary caps so that it doesn't affect the overall team
because now you're looking at, you know,
we've got to pay the quarterback all this money,
which means we have to neglect other positions.
And the NFL won't be happy about that
because they want that parody in the league.
So they're going to have to start thinking about
not only just a separate salary cap,
maybe for quarterbacks and then the rest of the team,
I would say salary cap all the positions.
And make, it just seems something that they need to be working on.
But I'm sure Roger will be on it,
Because he usually is.
Marshall's buyers travel far and wide,
hustling for great deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to.
They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.
Designer.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love.
Brushes, too.
And hustled all those wishless topping toys.
So plush.
Our buyers have got to be able to.
you covered marshals we get the deals you gift for good stuff i don't know when this happened
i don't really honestly don't know if it's true or not uh you know we could say true do you
believe it or not or maybe it's today's version would be true or okay so they have a story here
about a man in india who had been declared deceased but miraculously regained consciousness when the
ambulance transporting him to his village hit a pothole.
I mean, good?
Sure. The man named Darshan was being taken to the hospital by his grandson after falling suddenly ill.
Yeah, he died. After, according to reports from local media, love local India media, this astonishing
event occurred last week and the ambulance was in route to Nicene when it encountered a pothole.
causing a sudden jolt that startled both the vehicle and its occupants.
To the astonishment of Darshang's grandson, who was accompanying the presumed lifeless body,
he noticed movement in the hand shortly after the jolt.
It was then discovered that Darshan still had a heartbeat,
and despite being presumed dead, the ambulance was immediately rerouted to the nearest hospital,
where he is currently receiving treatment in the intense.
intensive care unit.
So the original place they were taking them is where they just take dead guys.
They don't take you to the hospital and make sure that the hospital actually
pronounces you dead?
No, Jeff.
If you're dead, we're just taking you to this place.
What was it called this nising?
Is that just a place where they take dead people?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But thankfully, thankfully, they hit a pothole and brought him back to life so they could
take him to the nearest hospital.
I guess just because you're dead,
we're not taking you to the nearest hospital.
We're taking you to the dead building.
And again, true or okay.
Maybe a little Olympic update.
That's awesome.
The Olympics still are ongoing.
The triathlon swimming practice was canceled for a second day in a row
because of the poop river.
We may not get a triathlons.
in this Olympics because the river is too full of poop.
I know.
I know.
Simone Miles is still going to compete on all four apparatuses in today's team final despite
a calf injury.
Good for her for not backing out like she did the last Olympics.
I know.
That was a health thing.
I got it.
I got it.
All I know is that she backed out and went to the games and then decided that she couldn't do it
anymore. The U.S. men's
gymnastic team wins a bronze
in the team all-round competition.
Their first medal in 16 years.
Congratulations.
We also have, I mentioned yesterday
about Canada using
drones. I guess
the Canadian team official
was arrested at the Paris Olympics for
using a drone to spy
on opponents practice.
Now we're getting reports
that, yeah, hey, the Canada
teams have been using drones to
spy on their opponents forever. Oh, okay, well, apparently it's illegal. You can't be flying drones
over your opponent's practice trying to get, figure out what they're going to do. Also, the official
was fined $48,000 and sent home. And then, of course, Canada won the next game. But we find out
that both Canada's men and women's team have been using drones to spy on opponents. And then, of course, Canada, one.
for years.
So does that mean they have to give up the medals that they've been winning?
Because they've had pretty good success in recent years
with the world on the world stage.
And that's all because they've been cheating.
So we'll see what happens with the women's manager, Bev Priestman,
who has been set home with the investigations between FIFA.
and the IOC are ongoing.
Other things that are ongoing in Paris
are the dating apps
are looking for serious business.
They're working overtime.
And maybe not just the dating apps.
You can change your location to Paris on TikTok
and you can do that on the dating apps as well
so that maybe you can take care of a little Olympic business
while you're in France.
So Bumble said in the lead-up to the games
that they've seen an increase in people.
changing their Bumble profile location to Paris,
adding mentions of the Paris games in their bios.
A Tinder spokesperson said that beginning of July,
there had been almost a 20% increase in swiping activity in France
and a 103% increase in activity on Tinder's passport mode,
a capability on the app that allows users to search by city
or drop a pin on the map to begin liking, matching,
and chatting with others in their destination of choice.
Oh yeah.
And they also had an increase
a number of users with a job descriptions,
Olympian plus 52%.
And I will say, if I'm in Paris
and I'm looking for a little bit of extra business,
I may put Olympian or athlete
in my job description just for, you know,
a little extra bump.
I think you know what I'm saying.
I guess Grindr has announced
that it has temporarily
disabled location
based features within the Olympic Village
aimed at protecting their users.
Oh, isn't that special?
That's great.
And also on a blog post,
a grinder explained that the protocol
was first set in place for the 2022
Winter Olympics in Beijing.
And the goal with removing these capabilities
will allow LGBTQ plus athletes
to connect with each other
authentically without worrying about
prying eyes or unwanted attention.
Yeah, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
especially when you have sex and relationships at the Olympic Games.
I mean, I know they banned sex at the Tokyo Olympics,
but they just, they issued condoms anyway, you know, just in case.
Just in case.
So there's plenty of Olympic business happening in Paris.
You can count on that.
And at the time of this recording on July 30th,
24, this medal count
is a little disconcerting.
Now, we're going to win.
We're going to win the metal count.
We're going to win the most golds.
Overall, I have confidence.
But as we speak,
China is number one.
Then Japan, then France,
then Australia, then the Republic of Korea,
then the United States.
Now, we have the most medals right now with 20.
But we have that's gold medal.
we're in what
sixth place in gold medals
but we're you know
we still have the most medals
we're going to win
we're going to win that we're going to win the most
medals and we're going to win the most golds
but right now
we are in
sixth place for gold medal
in the United States
now I mean that's great
I mean we also are in first place
as far as you know the silver
and the bronze but I don't like that
gold medal I don't like that gold medal
I mean congratulations
Canada's
got a couple. Italy's got a couple. Germany's got a couple.
Kazakhstan. Okay. What did
Kazakhstan win in gold?
Let's take a look here. Kazakhstan. They won a gold
medal in judo. Okay, well, congratulations.
Congratulations to Kazakhstan
for winning
a gold medal in
judo. They also have a couple of bronze medals
as well. I think those were in shooting
as I was looking up for the gold.
It said that they won some medals in shooting as well.
So congratulations.
South Africa has got a gold.
Belgium's got a gold.
Azerbaijan has a gold medal.
So congratulations to all those countries who have gold medals.
I apologize for how good the United States is,
but we're leading the medal count except for,
well, we're leading the metal count total right now.
And we will win the metal count in bronze, silver,
and gold.
If we don't, that's embarrassing.
That's embarrassing.

All right, we have a number of airline mishaps that have been reported like this American Airlines flight that was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger, Neil McCarthy 25, I guess we know his name and his age, reportedly exposed himself and urinated in the aisle.
Why? Why would you...
I don't know.
He had consumed several Jack and Cokes,
was flying from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire,
but the flight was diverted to Buffalo,
where he was arrested.
Police obtained a photo from another passenger
showing McCarthy exposing himself.
He faces charges of indecent exposure
and could face up to six months in prison
and a $5,000 fine.
American Airlines commended its team and passengers for their professionalism during the incident.
Dude, what are you doing?
I'd be angry because now you've diverted everybody.
Plus, you're making the aisle smell like pee.
What's going on?
Go to the bathroom, you doofus.
Then we have the American Airlines flight that had engine failure.
It returned to DFW.
And they were saying, I mean, this is something I guess happens probably.
I don't know, infrequently or frequently,
but we're getting reports of it now
because people are tracking it
because we've had so many issues
with the airlines and the airplanes themselves.
So this American Airlines flight
was returned to DFW
and we need crash, fire rescue, on the runway.
Now, fortunately, I don't think we would have heard
if something happened and nothing did happen.
So this was just an everyday safety safety.
measure once they lost one engine.
It'd be a Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.
We have an engine scale.
We're gonna return back with you.
Yeah, we'll be right, I'm a little busy.
Fuel remaining in minutes and sold on board.
I'll about three hours, a fuel and a hundred eight toll.
Oh.
American 1552.
Are you ready to go back to D.FW now or did you need to have fuel?
Uh, no, we need to land.
For you a second, all right?
I'm drinking my coffee here.
All right now we're coming back, bro.
18 left, 18 left.
Yeah, dummy.
That's correct.
That's correct.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Now, I'm making fun of it, but I'm glad that he's double-checking
because let's make sure that we're set up for me to land on the correct runway, please.
That's not a runway, it's a landing strip, Jeff.
I know, same thing.
Then we have a United Airlines flight
where crew and passengers were vomiting
due to some kind of biohazard from a passenger.
Now, they diverted the flight.
to Delis.
I would not want to.
We could go ahead and land that plane,
but nobody gets off.
We are going to cover you
with some kind of plastic covering
and take a look
before any of you get off.
I don't know what's going on on that plane,
but, man, I'd be pissed.
Oh, man.
So it's a Houston flight to Boston,
and they diverted to land in Delis
because of this biohazard.
Oh, no doubt.
doubt.
No doubt. No doubt. We need to get this plane on the ground. Asap. Now, he's talking about going to
to Cleveland, but it was diverted to Dulles, according to all reports. And good. If there's
some kind of strange biohazard, let's bring that to Washington, D.C., by all means. Let's leave
Cleveland alone. They've got their own issues.
But holy cow, if we're like
one, multiple people are puking
on a flight and you're on that flight,
yeah, you are,
you're going to be puking too.
I bet
it was nasty.

I got a couple of emails that I want to share with you today, one from a Christy who said, which I think is probably a good idea.
I hadn't really thought of it much, but it's probably a pretty good idea.
Like when you had the guy tell me when you go to a hotel room and the first thing you do is rip off all the sheets and all the betting and tell the hotel to bring you clean ones,
fresh ones because those will be freshly cleaned and that gives you an opportunity to look for bedbugs
and there's you know get all that old stuff out and get fresh clean ones in and he swore by it he

Today from Michael.
A guy wants a divorce
