Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Boy, if even some of this story about the Kansas City Fire Department is true, they need a little revamping. So the story is about this Rebecca Reynolds,

a 61-year-old paramedic with the KCFD, and she has just agreed to a settlement with the city of Kansas City for $1.3 million. She is a 61-year-old lesbian firefighter who says she faced abuse for years because of her gender, sex, and age. And it's the city's largest payout for a suit against the Kansas City Fire Department. She says she experienced sex and age discrimination, retaliation, and a hostile work environment while she worked for the fire department. As part of the settlement, she agreed to drop two pending discrimination lawsuits against the city. and she also agreed not to pursue a third lawsuit,

accusing a co-worker of allegedly urinating on things in her office while she was out on medical leave. Why would you do that? The firefighter, this Pleeze Robinson, or maybe it's Please, P-L-E-A-Z-E-Robinson, the third, was charged with the felony in April in connection with that incident last year. Why? Why would you pee on things in her office?

Anyway, the report issued last year found the department has made little progress in addressing its systemic problems with sexism and racism. Yeah, if that stuff is going on, absolutely. 1.3 million doesn't seem like it's enough, but she was probably tired of the fight. And at 61 now, she's like, just give me the million three and I'm going to go away. So she began working with KCFD in 2003 after she graduated. from the fire academy at 40. She works as a medic and a firefighter. In her lawsuit, she said superiors and the department screamed at her, told her she was not

normal because of her sexual orientation, said she was subjected to demeaning and humiliating conduct because of her sexual orientation, gender, and age. In one incident, in 2023, wow, and 20 years later, I mean, holy cow, she said a coworker tripped her, which caused her an injury that required needs. surgery. A few days later, she responded to a medical emergency at the Kansas City International Airport alongside the same co-worker, and she alleges the co-worker placed his hands on her and prevented her from engaging with a patient. Wow. So they claim that this is an ongoing concern. Yeah, it should be. So I guess there's been a big problem with the Kansas City Fire Department.

I was not aware of it. I don't live in Kansas City. I don't get everyday Kansas. city headlines, but I guess last year they paid $800,000 to a former firefighter who said she was subjected to years of harassment before resigning. Wow. And then of course they throw in where they paid the families of three people killed from a speeding fire truck. They paid them just under $400,500,000 each, $458,8,893 to be exact, to each, to each, to of the three families but that doesn't have anything to do with that i mean that so the speeding fire truck case is completely different from uh this hostile work environment so good for rebecca reynolds i mean holy cow if even half of what she says is true uh they definitely need to address some issues

at the kansas city fire department but you know i just know what the story says uh welcome welcome to chewing the fat All right. So yesterday we did a, we had a special report, a live report from Battle Creek, Michigan. From our man on the street reporter Chris Cruz. And he was reporting that Pringles is ditching the can. And I was very disheartening. And I was really upset about Pringles losing the can. I thought that was a stupid idea. I couldn't believe that they were doing it. And they were now throwing out their new air puffed Pringles. These new chips, the Pringles Mingles, that they're not only packaged in a bag, but they're also shaped like a bow tie and air puffed and the can is going away.

Well, that was kind of misleading because while they are launching their Pringles mingles with the cheddar and sour cream and the sharp white cheddar and ranch, and, of course, bringing the dill pickle and ranch, I guess that's been heavily asked for. in the Pringles world to bring back the Dill Pickle Pringles. But they're bringing those back in the Pringles mingles bags. However, the can apparently is not going anywhere. The can still stays. And that was the misleading line in our news report yesterday.

So you can breathe easy. I apologize for our reporter. He's been admonished that the can is not going away. The tube, you know, once you pop it, you just can't stop it, is still going to be there for you. But they are bringing you the Pringles mingles in the bag on the shelf as well. So is this a precursor to getting rid of the can? It's possible.

It's possible. They are covering their butts right now saying, oh, no, no, no, no, no. We are not getting rid of the can just yet. We're just offering new products in a bag. Okay. If that's what you say, then we'll take you at your word. for now. All right.

So we started out today's show in Kansas City. We might as well move to the University of Kansas. Kansas City's in Missouri, Jeff. And the University of Kansas is in Kansas. I know, but it's out there in that same neck of the woods. And nobody really likes Kansas University anyway, the Jayhawks. Do they? Do they?

Okay. You do? Oh, okay. Well, sorry. They had a professor who was caught on video saying that, guys are smarter than if you think guys are smarter than girls you got some serious problems

and that's what frustrates him and then he said something that he now I'm sure regrets guys are smarter than girls you got some serious problems that's what frustrates me there are going to be some males

in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president to be president Some females will too. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don't understand the way the world works. The recording that I said that. Yeah, we don't.

The dean hearing that you said that because you're going to get in trouble if the dean hears you. Well, yeah, the dean heard you. So the university initially released a statement claiming that the professor was merely trying to support women's rights when he said that male voters should be lined up and executed. And then they decided, yeah, okay, well, we're going to put him on administrative. leave and while we investigate a little bit more. And then we decided, you know what? We're going to go ahead and fire you.

We're going to go ahead and let you go. Have a nice day. So Professor Locock, we do know who he is now, is no longer working at the University of Kansas. I don't know if he'll have to change his name or not to go work at another university. I doubt it because most universities will say, ah, you're fine. Don't worry about it. Should Dr. Phil Locock been fired for this, joking about executing male voters?

Probably. Yeah, they should just be lined up and shot. And so, they're not going to vote for Kamala Harris because she's a woman. Yeah, clearly there's something wrong with you and we should just line you up and shoot you. Yeah. So Dr. Phil Locock is no longer working

at the University of Kansas. Good luck working at another university, at least for a short period of time. People will remember the name Dr. Phil Lococ. And I should give a shout out to Libs of TikTok. They were the ones that posted the video. I don't know what student recorded Dr. Phil Locoq saying it, but Lips of TikTok were the ones that made it goad viral.

And that's how the university heard. it because it was a viral video posted from limbs of TikTok. So again, you know, shout out to limbs of TikTok and sorry about it, Dr. Phil Locock.

And this is especially true when you're planning to buy or sell a home. It's really complicated. It takes a lot of time and a lot of jumping through hoops.

So congratulations are in order for the 2024 Marconi Award winners. Yes, the National Association of Broadcasters have had their big bash. They had their get-together. And they presented the 24 NAB-Marconi Award winners,

with a celebration in New York, and they all came and had a great time and what fun they all had, I'm sure. I have never won a Marconi. So now that I'm not technically in radio, guess I don't have an opportunity to win Marconi because they give the best radio podcast of the year that went to El Bueno, La Mala, El Theo,

Wow. I don't know if it's a big deal. I guess it's a big deal. If you win a Marconi, big deal. They all went to New York and had a big party and got to, you know, glad hand with each other. I don't know if former Marconi Award winners are allowed to show up at the party. It's just, I think the party is just for the new winners. I don't want anything to do with the old winners. So, uh, that's it. Congratulations to all the 2024 Marconi Award winners.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So I was thinking, you know, this weekend there's so much to watch i don't know what i'm going to watch i've got to you know schedule my time my viewing time to uh to watch so i did find out though that a bad monkey on apple tv apple plus or whatever they call themselves uh the first season we talked about ending the 10 episode series and they hadn't re-upped for season two but according to an interview that bill lawrence did and he's the uh creator of uh bad monkey he teased see season two and three. And he said he pitched the whole idea to Apple as a one, two, three season

arc for the show and the character. And Vince was, you know, Vince Vaughn, who is the star, was all ready for that. So that probably, although it hasn't been announced officially, I'm sure that that's probably going to happen because it was such a really good show. And if you haven't watched it yet and you have Apple Plus available to you, that's a, a really good show to watch. Because we have Lincoln Lawyer, season three dropping this weekend on Netflix. I am really looking forward to that. Daryl, Walking Dead with Daryl, season two, The Book of Carol, been pretty darn good.

And Talking Walking Dead will be back this week. And we are going to cover some big ground from season two with Daryl, the Book of Carol. Only murders in the building is still cranking along. I think we have two or three, maybe two. two, maybe one episodes left in the season for only murders in the building. The fall TV lineup is starting. I mean, there's some, you know, we got Blue Bloods the final season. We have the new NCIS beginnings or origins, NCIS origins, which is, you know, Gibbs.

And while it's not Gibbs, it is Gibbs. And they're using Gibbs's voice to do some narration. So it's kind of fascinating. It's early Gibbs. And then, if you like NCIS, the original. And then the NCIS original show is starting up again as well, only without Gibbs, which is very disappointing. I mean, he's still a part of the show. I think he still has his name on the show, but it's without him.

And then we have, you know, college football, a huge college football games this weekend. And so much fun these college football games have been. We've got NFL, big games going on. We're smack dab in the middle of the NFL. Major League playoffs, Major League Baseball playoffs are still on. We don't know who's going to be in the world. but we're going to find out soon whether it's going to be the Mets and the Yankees for a subway series or if it's going to be the Yankees and the Dodgers for a coast-to-coast series

or if the Cleveland Guardians are going to get in and be a spoiler and take on the Yankees or the Dodgers. I don't foresee that happening, but it's possible. Anything is possible in life. I just saw a promo for Rome, a series on Peacock. with Sir Anthony Hopkins about the gladiators and Roman times. And I have not watched it yet. The promos looked really well, really good, and it looked like it was produced really well with a lot of money.

I don't know if all, I think it's a 10-episode show. I don't know if all those episodes have been put up on Peacock yet, or if it's dropping once a week, I will know this weekend, because I'm going to take a look at it and see what up with that. And then we still have Tulsa King, and with Sylvester Stallone, which has been funny and really good. Old man is still up and running on FX.

It's been with Jeff Bridges. I mean, there's so much to watch and only so much time. I've got a lot my viewing time. But I will. I will, because there's time. There's time that you can do it. You just, well, you can't sleep.

So I mentioned on Mojo 5O with Brad Staggs this morning on my Thursday hit with them over there on Mojo 5-0 in the mornings or whatever they call themselves. Mollage Hill in the morning with Brad and Ron that the Sam's Club in Grapevine, Texas was

going to be reopened and today was the grand opening and they were not going to have any cashiers or checkout lines. It's going to be, you have to use the app to bring up your items and then walk through their giant scanners at the end to make sure everything's all right. That's not all that this Sam's Club

has. Okay. So, It was damaged a couple years ago with tornadoes when there was a big swath of tornadoes that came through DFW, and they weren't going to reopen it. And then they decided after a big fanfare with the city of Grapevine, Texas, and, you know, customers, and they were all wanted it to reopen. I used to shop at that particular Sam Club when we first moved to Texas. I shop at another one now that's closer to the home that I live in now. But anyway, the now this is going to open up. Now, today is kind of a, they're soft open. If you're listening live, today is the 17th of October, 2024.

So this evening, they're having kind of what they're calling their soft opening. And they've got a Dallas Mavericks player, Derek lively. The second will make an appearance. And then the grand opening is tomorrow, the 18th of August or October, 2024. They're going to have Hall of Famers, Charles Haley and DeMarcus Ware there. And they're going to have the Guinness World Record holder for walking the farthest distance barefoot on Lego bricks will also host an activity through Sunday. So you'll be able to hopefully go barefoot and walk across Lego bricks.

Man, what fun that will be. It also has the chain's first pizza robot, which can make more than 100 pizzas an hour. And they also have an in-house tortilla machine and a reimagined cafe area. so there's not going to be any cashiers and there's not going to be any humans making pizzas. There's not going to be any humans making tortillas. And your reimagined cafe area is get your own food and sit your ass down or go sit outside because we don't want you inside the building. So Sam's Club Grapevine is reimagining their store without employees. That seems like the reimagination that's happening at Sam's Club Grapevine.

So good luck if you need any help at the store. They may have one person up by the scanners that can help you out. I'm sure they have somebody up at the front desk, maybe.

Who died today? Well, let's begin with former One Direction stuff. Liam Payne. Liam Payne dead at the age of 31. I know. Dry your eyes. He fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

And it's unclear now if it was an accident or not, but it was a third floor balcony in Argentina. Now, his ex-fiance had started legal proceedings against him. He was supposed to to have been, you know, clean and sober. He'd gone through some rehab sometime in the last couple of

years because he posted a video in 2023 last year that he had been sober for six months after spending nearly 100 days at a Louisiana rehab facility. Now, according to the pictures that are supposed to be, you know, from his hotel room there in Argentina, he was not clean and sober. There were a lot of drug paraphernalia, a lot of drug packages, pieces of full. oil that were left all around and that's how you, you know, that's how you're cooking your drugs. And anyway, and smoking them. So Liam Payne, they didn't realize it was him until after he died, you know, definitely he was confirmed dead.

It said that the emergency services arrived at 5.11 p.m., so seven minutes after they received the emergency call, emergency services call, that's a long time. I mean, seven minutes is fast. sure it's a good response time depending on where the hotel is and where they're located at and all that kind of stuff. But seven minutes in the time of landing on the concrete three stories down is a long time, man, 42 to 45 feet. And they described the injuries as very serious.

Well, yeah. And they also described it as incompatible with life. Well, it definitely was that. So we'll see as the investigation unfolds, whether Liam Payne, uh, fell from the third story of his Argentina hotel by accident, or if it was on purpose and Liam thought he could fly. And of course, if he thought he could fly, always dial 9-8-8.

If you or your loved one having a mental crisis or experiencing suicidal or substance use, you can call the 9-88 and get a trained crisis counselor for free 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Or you can always go do 9-8-8-8-8 and get a trained crisis counselor for free for free, always go to 988 lifeline.org. Then we have Richard Paulowski, Richard Polowski, dead at the age of 49.

Now, he died from complications of eastern equine encephalitis, which is a disease that caused its first New York state death in nearly a decade. So it's resurgence, according to health officials, in New York, Connecticut father. He was bitten by an infected mosquito while cleaning brush in his wooded backyard five years ago. I said 2019. So he's been battling this for five years and he finally lost that battle. Holy cow.

That is incredibly. He fell sick doing yard work in the wooded area of his backyard in August of 2019. And just one day after finding a new mosquito bite, Richard complained of intense headaches and began vomiting yellow bile. He was rushed to emergency surgery, relieved swelling in his brain, complications with surgery, seemingly made the situation worse, landing the Polish immigrant in a coma for two months.

Then they were dumbfounded of what caused such a sudden deterioration as a cancer survivor and diabetes patient. Richard was extremely health conscious to the point where he refused to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. and then other cases of EEE turned up and the doctors went, hey, you know that? That probably could be what Richard has.

And it was. And so, I mean, they were giving him his fatal prognosis, and he was, and it's been five years. And so, I mean, rest of peace to my man, Richard Polowski, dead at the age of 49. Then we have two boys unnamed. who have died in separate Halloween-themed haunted hayride attractions in tractor accidents. I don't know if they call them tractor.

They call them tractor accidents. But really, what happened is the one kid, I think both of them actually, were trying to jump onto the hay wagon. And if you've ever been on a hayride, the tractor pulls this big wagon with hay bales, and you sit on the hay bales and you make out with your girlfriend or you sing or you do whatever, you're there with your little kids and you drive through cornfields and woods and sometimes they have people in the woods that jump out and scare you and that's what this one kid was going to do he was going to jump out tried to scare children in the path and then he did that and then he tried to jump onto the trailer but then he slipped and he fell under the tractor's wheels so if he jumped under the trailer if he tried to jumping on the trailer he wouldn't fall under the tractor's wheels he would have fallen under the trailers wheels because the tractor is pulling the wagon it's weird that's weird saying that he fell under the tractor's wheels because if he tried to jump onto one of the trailers unless there were back-to-back trailers and there was a trailer and there was a tractor and a trailer and a tractor

and a trailer i guess that could have been all right so that's possible and then another kid did the same thing Okay. So then they had another haunted hay ride in Minnesota. And then I guess this had a runaway. He tried to run and he was run over by the wagon. And he tried to do the same thing. So if you're going out for a hay ride,

it's more dangerous than you thought. Be careful out there. Just know that don't try to jump on the moving hay wagon. And don't try to run in front of the moving tractor. And just stay on you. stay on your bail of hay and make out with your girlfriend or sing your song or do whatever you're supposed to do out there on the hay ride in the cornfields just don't try to either jump off or jump on while moving okay hold the guardrails which there aren't any firmly at all times oh you know that

i want to thank kennedy nation kennedy nation from fox news radio thank you for listening to chewing the fat uh you're welcome on giving you the idea for your interview i see where she was interviewing the guy who is in charge of the death app that I talked about the other day, that I didn't want to know how long I had to live. And she had the guy that, you know, created the app. And he said, hey, we are trying to calculate the age of your death, but we want you to realize when you're going to die so you can maximize your time here on earth.

and that is if you eat better and exercise more, then your death date could be reversed. So it's a health app. Yeah, we're going to tell you exactly calculate, you know, when you die. But since we think that you can extend your life with other things, we're going to, this is actually a health app. Oh, okay.

All right. Well, thanks, Brent. I appreciate it. 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 will 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 winters? Stop wondering. Start gifting.

Winners find fabulous for less. Sometimes crazy knows no bounds. And you can quote me on that. Crazy knows no bounds. The Gray's Anatomy writer, who faked having cancer, is incredible. She shaved her head and she would have to take puke breaks, according to former colleagues. But they all feel betrayed now over. the lengths that this former writer took them on because she was supposed to be grappling with cancer and chemotherapy treatments and she wasn't it was all just for just for the attention well now she is and she's subject to the new documentary titled anatomy of a lies as now broken her silence all right so now she says hey i'm sorry feels like the

smallest words compared to what I've done. Yet they are the truest. I trapped myself in the addiction of lies, betraying and traumatizing my closest family, friends and colleagues. Yeah. Yeah, you did. Hey, sorry, I just wanted you to believe I had cancer. And, you know, I was going through some issues. Yeah, you know, I was right on the show and we were making money and everything's fine. And I just figured, you know, it would work as if I pretended to have cancer and just go through the whole thing. And so I'll just tell them I have bone cancer. And she did.

And there's one picture of her from her Instagram account, this Elizabeth Finch. And she has these crazy, whacked out eyes. And it's just like, I know they pause it at the right moment for this picture. So it's pretty damning. but you can tell that she is whacked out of her ever-loving mind. I may have to try to catch the anatomy of lies. Because remember, that's the same kind of thing that What's Your Face did the series, The Act, right, with What's Her Face?

And she's out now with an ankle bracelet. She was just on dancing with the stars. But she killed her mom because her mom made her sick to, you know, get all this free stuff and then she killed her mom and went about with her boyfriend and they ended up she ended up going to prison for killing her mom after you know all of this you know years of abuse anyway it's uh you know these people are just uh sometimes and again you can quote me on this sometimes crazy knows no bounds oh here's another job that uh is being uh eliminated and i always wanted to do this job.

Most jobs that are being eliminated, I'm like, fine. No problem. Robot can do it, okay. A machine can do it, okay. Oh, you've got AI, can do that. I'm like, okay, whatever. Fine, go ahead. But now, Wimbledon, the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament,

is setting up to say goodbye to its human line judges. I always wanted to be a line judge. Oh! And, uh, ha, ha, ha. I just want to stand there in the back. I watch the line judge with their hands down on their knees, watching the ball as you come, and they just put, if the ball's in on the tennis court,

you just put your hand. You don't even say anything. You just in. I pisses off the tennis players so bad. I always wanted to be a line judge, or if it's out. Out! So awesome.

Always wanted to be a line judge. That's a good job. Well, no more. After 147 years, no. in 2025, the grass courts of the All-Intern Club will no longer have the cries of Oh! Full!

No more. Whimpleton announced that they're going to fully embrace the electronic line calling, ELC, for all qualifying and main draw matches. The AI-powered system already in use at the Australian Open and the U.S. Open will bring unprecedented accurate. to line calls, potentially eliminating the human errors that have occasionally altered the course of matches.

Now, I will say that I heard an interview with John McEnroe, who was, you know, quite the entertainer when he was playing tennis. And he was saying that the AI is not as perfect as everyone thinks it is. So I would just like to go on record that if, you know, the Australian Open or the U.S. Open or Wimbledon, would like a voice for their AI line judges, I'm here for you. Because I still, that'd be one way for me to get in and still kind of be a line judge just so that,

out, and maybe just a in. Let me just a soft end. And, uh, fall. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. So I'm here for you. Uh, Australian Open, now US Open and Wimbledon. if you need a voice for your AI line judge. Interesting.

This report coming that they are going to have a new women's three-on-three basketball league. Interesting. Now, so it's found a broadcast partner. The new league formed by New York Liberty's Brianna Stewart and Minnesota Lynx's Nefesia Collier will air games on TNT. The 30-player league will launch this winter in Miami. with stars like Kelsey Plum, Angel Reese, Rike Ogunbao, and Yukon's Paige Berkers,

all signing on to participate. No word whether Caitlin Clark is going to be a part of this three-on-three league. That's interesting because they think they're good enough. I mean, they can barely hang on to the ratings without Caitlin now. I know that they're saying they've had the best ratings of all time for these playoff games for the WNBA. the numbers are up bigger than ever before. Yes, they are.

But they aren't as high as when Caitlin was playing. Not even close. Caitlin was doubling if not tripling those numbers. So we'll see. We'll see. I know they claim that they had the highest viewership ever recorded for game one. Yes, they did. But it's still, you know, the Caitlin numbers are through the roof.

So they're trying to hang on that it's not all Caitlin bringing in the numbers. Okay. All right, sure. And now they're going to do this three-on-three league, and they're going to try to prove that they don't need Caitlin. Well, because I don't see where she signed on for the three-on-three. If she did, that would be awesome. But since I see that they've already announced Angel Reese as part of the three-on-three,

and I know that Angel does not want anything to do with Caitlin, and she feels like she's the driving force of the WNBA. Uh-huh. Okay. You keep telling yourself that. So we'll see how the three-on-three league works this winter if it draws any attention at all. I mean, it's a fascinating little thing to watch.

Do I really care about a three-on-three league of women's WNBA players playing each other without Caitlin Clark? The answer to that would be a no. And as long as we're talking about sports, the NFL announced that Atlanta will host Super Bowl LXIII. Super Bowl LXI in 2028, marking the fourth time the city landed the Super Bowl. So congratulations to Atlanta. I mean, last week, Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, was giving a fan forum in London.

And he talked about how the possibility, he threw the possibility out there of a Super Bowl taking place in an international city outside of the United States. He said, you know, we traditionally play the Super Bowl in an NFL city. That's sort of a reward for the cities that have NFL franchises. Uh-huh. And it's, you know, the national football league. Well, he said that things could change. We can move the neutral site game internationally. I think it wouldn't surprise me at all if that happens one day.

Yeah, he's just being nice. But he did also talk about going to 18 games. It's playing 16 international games. games every year. Okay. And they're going to Ireland, and he said that, you know, the Jacksonville Jaguars are considering increasing the number of games they play in London. Yeah, we'll see how they fear.

They lost last week. And so if they lose this week, they may change their tune. Then we have, so we have the Super Bowl coming up this year in New Orleans, Louisiana. We have then Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California. That's the 49th Stadium. And then, SoFi again. is going to host the 2027 game. And I mean, the overtime victory over San Francisco and last Super Bowl,

that was the most watched program in U.S. television history. The Kansas City went? Think about that. And he also talked before it. He mentioned in this forum as I was reading the print of what he talked about. He talked about how he wants to limit preseason and then have 18 games. So you'd have two bye weeks during the season. And then you would have 18 games in the regular season, outside of the international games.

I mean, playing in Ireland and Rio de Janeiro and Brazil and Mexico City, although I don't think they've been back to Mexico City. I'm not sure what's up with that. And then, but he would talk about how they would have that second buy week in that 18 game season with only two pre-season games. That way, you could start around Labor Day. conclude around President's Day, which is the third Monday of February. So the Super Bowl would be on the Sunday before the President's Day holiday.

So you'd have the day off. So you get the day off after the Super Bowl, which would be awesome. I don't recall the last time I actually took the President's Day off. But as soon as the Super Bowl took place the day before, I believe that would turn into a holiday for chewing the fat. I know. I know because Labor Day is. So if you're starting on Labor Day weekend, I'm getting that extra day in. I might as well take President's Day in February as well and have a Super Bowl holiday. Who's with me? Come on. Let's go.
