Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, good news coming from New York City. They've decided that they need to rid themselves of the rat.

problem. And no, no, I'm not talking about the politicians, although I think they may have decided that as well. New York City's fight against the rats have now taken a little turn. Instead of killing them, we're just going to feed them birth control poison so that they can do all the business they want, and they won't be creating little baby rats. We'll see how that works out, because I thought they'd done this before, like I don't know, 100 years ago. And in the story, it talks about, yeah, back in 67,

they rolled out a program that dosed rats with estrogen-laced food. How'd that work out? Because I don't think it did. There's still rats on top of rats, on top of rats in NYC. So now they have a new bill called Flacco's Law. You remember Flacco, the first.

famed owl that escaped from the zoo and that they say died because it ate rat poison. And so now we can't poison any, we can't put set out poison anywhere because other animals could be harmed. So we don't want to do that. What we want to do is we want to put out rat contraceptives so that they can just eat it and they'll still take care of rat business, but they won't, they won't create little rats, which I think is fine. Let's do that. I think we should do a multi-prong effect. They did not ask me, but I would say let's go ahead and kill them. Let's go ahead and trap them.

And let's feed them some rat contraceptives. Now, I don't think that this rat contraceptive that may have been created by contra pest can get into. to the waterway and affect humans, but it wouldn't surprise me that down the road they decide, you know, we probably shouldn't have done that because now it's in the water system and we can't get rid of it and less people can have babies because of the contra pest

and the rat contraceptive poison that we were using a few years ago. That would not surprise me. And of course, PETA is all for it. They don't want rats to be killed. They want to be killed. resolve the rat issue in a humane way. Uh-huh. And they don't like the rat czar who said, hey, we need to, we need to kill them. Oh, no, that's too cruel. That's too cruel. They're rats.

This is what gets me in trouble with PETA because they want to treat rats in a humane way. And I say, no, they're rats. Let's kill them. So I'm all four of the contraceptives. That's fine. I guess, until we find out that it's in the water and we shouldn't have done it. But we also should be trapping them and finding other ways to kill them. Please do that because now you're talking about, I don't know, this is going to go on for 12 months. And so hopefully they'll see a decline in the rat numbers, which then will say that the system is working correctly with the rat contraceptive. dispensers. So good luck. Good luck to NYC, ridding yourself of the rat issue with, you know, letting the rats continue with little rabbit but they can't create little baby rats along the way.

Okay. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I can't believe that our administration is letting this happen. And I know I try to stay away from politics on this show because that's just agonizing. But we've talked before on this show about the possible dock workers strike along the East and Gulf Coast ports. And now that strike is in effect. 45,000 dock workers across the 36 East and Gulf Coast ports began striking at midnight today. If you're listening live, it is October 1st, 20,000. 24, well, October 1st. So the International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance,

which represents the ports, failed to reach an agreement after the negotiation installed in June. They haven't even been, you know, they've been barely talking. And so, of course, we talked about how the union seeks higher wages and less automation. And that's what everybody wants, right? I mean, I know that the alliance is, you know, pushing for increased technology and to use to improve efficiency and reduce costs. the union's like, no, we want, we want, we don't want to increase technology and we don't want to improve efficiency. We want more money and that's the way it goes. And if we don't get more money,

we're going to shut it down. And they did. Now, the East and Gulf Coast ports handle more than 68% of the containerized exports and more than 56% of the containerized imports. So you're looking at billions of dollars a day lost to the U.S. economy during this strike. And this administration, I don't know who is the president anymore, I guess it's Joe Biden. He still technically holds the title, said that he's not planning to invoke a nearly 80-year-old act to order the strikers back to work. He did that with the trains. I guess they got involved with the Boeing strike and that fell through. so I guess he's feeling bad about getting involved with the unions now because they thought they could work it out with Boeing and they haven't.

And what does Boeing want? Oh, that's right. They want more money and less automation and, you know, that kind of thing. Same kind of thing. Oh, there's still over 30,000 people striking on that coast. Yeah, and that's already affecting Boeing. They're already laying people off because the striking workers aren't providing the goods and services that the other employees need for their jobs.

So that's what's going to happen along this port strike. Then I heard an interview with, I guess this is Harold Daggart, who is the International Longshoremen's Association Executive. I guess he's the guy. He's the guy. And as the president of the dock workers from Maine to Texas. And this is what he said in his interview. These people today don't know what a Shrike is. Right.

When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port will lock down. Yeah. You know what's going to happen? I do. Okay. Do you want to please tell us? First week, be all over the news every nine, boom, boom. Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships.

They get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes. They can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship. they go out of business construction workers

get laid off because the materials aren't coming in the steel's not coming in the lumber's not coming in they lose their job everybody's getting the longshoremen now because now they realize

how important our jobs are now I have the president screaming at me I'm putting a Taff Harley on you go ahead Taff Harley means I have to go back to work for 90 days that's a cooling off period

Do you think when I go back for 90 days Those men are going to go to work on that pier? It's going to cost the money The company's money to pay their salaries While they went from 30 moves in now Maybe they're eight Yeah, they just slow down Who's gonna win here in the long run

You're better off sitting down And let's get a contract And let's move on with this world And today's world, I'll cripple you I will cripple you And you have no idea what that means We do have an idea of what that means. Now, I'm on the side of everyone making as much money as possible for doing their

jobs, but I'm also on the side of not crippling the United States of America. And I was, I, you know, you guys are asking for an awful lot of money more than, you know, the average American makes. I know the job that you do is very, very difficult. And I appreciate that very much. But the ripple effect of what you're doing. You know damn well what it is. And for you to just threaten, we'll get what we want or, you know, we'll just completely shut you down. We'll burn it all down because we're not making the money that we think we deserve. Okay. All right. I just, I just feel like that's a mobster way of thinking. And maybe that's the way he's thinking. But I I just want to go on record as saying, I don't like it.

I don't like it one bit. You know, if that doesn't make you nervous, it probably should. And you and your family should be prepared. Because if this strike goes on for any length of time, we're in trouble with goods, services, and even our medications. Now, there is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have the medication on hand when it's needed. It's a solution that thousands of... of people have already discovered.

Well, there is this one thing. Hacker 7H-3H4, CKV-157 has now exposed significant vulnerabilities in NASA's security system. And he just reported them to the agency. Oh, that's nice. and in response NASA, I guess, swiftly patched the flaws and they sent him a nice appreciation letter.

Which I'm sure he appreciated. Dear Hacker 7H there is no report on what the appreciation letter said but I'm just guessing a dear hacker 7H3H 4CV157 thank you so much

for reporting our vulnerabilities in our security system. And we really appreciate you for letting us know. And it's strengthening our agency's information security. So thank you. Director of NASA operations, Bill Nelson. I guess that's what the letter of appreciation said. I mean, come on now.

We've got that's very, that's awesome. But I would, I'm guessing, and again, I have no way of knowing this, but I'm guessing that, you know, hacker 7H3H 4CKV157 probably left a way for him to get back in. Probably. I mean, if I were a hacker

with, you know, a possible name close to 7H3H4CV157, I would do that. Hey, just want to let you know your security system has all these issues. You might want to patch it up, But I'm going to leave a door open for myself for another time as well. But it doesn't say that that happens. So I'm sure he was very, very happy with the appreciation letter from NASA.

Was it mailed through the USPS? Was it an email that was an appreciation letter? Did you email Hacker at 7H3H4CV157 at hacker.com? I don't know. I don't know. I just find it funny. And it's not funny. I mean, I appreciate it.

Thank you, Hacker. 78, 3H, 4CKV157. Thank you. I appreciate it. But it just makes me, you know, makes me love. I don't know how we actually sent the letter to him unless he went in his comment to us saying, hey, you got a problem. You know, there was a return address on that envelope.

I mean, I'm happy it happened. I'm happy it happened. And then we still have the hurricane response and the cleanup, and it's just horrific. Boy, and if you're waiting for the government, don't. I'm sure they're, you know, they claim that they're on the way, and they've been, you know, they're saying, they've been on the phone with leaders and helping people.

Well, you know, real people, humans are on the ground helping, not government humans are there helping. So if you want to help and you feel like what can I do because you're not there in the six states in particular, and especially in North Carolina, what looks like was the hardest hit? No, what about Georgia? What about South Carolina? What about Virginia? I know.

What about Florida? I know. All of it. Horrible. You can give to Mercury 1. Mercury 1.org and they have actual boots on the ground and know where goods, services, and money can go to help. and that's one way that you know that you can help because 100% of that money goes to the helping.

And that's mercury1.org and the cleanup from Hurricane Aline is going to be, you know, it's going to go on forever and ever and ever. I mean, whole towns are completely wiped out. People's livelihoods, people's homes, just turned upside down. And it's not going to be an easy fix. And it's going to take everyone helping to turn this around. And it's just, really, what's happening in this country right now is, it seems overwhelming every day, doesn't it?

It really does. I mean, we're being overwhelmed by immigration. We're being overwhelmed by workers saying they want more money and less automation and they're going to hold the country. Well, hostage. They're holding the country hostage. And so it's good times. And then we have, you know, natural disaster to clean up as well. And, boy, we are being overwhelmed.

We are being overwhelmed. I get it. We are being overwhelmed. I feel it every day. I know you do. So thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. I appreciate it very much. And I'll try to go back to Chewing the Fat stories and, you know, lighten it up a little

bit so that maybe we can forget about being overwhelmed. I appreciate it. Thank you for subscribing to Chewing the Fat. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Remember the rule. As a subscriber, if someone says, hey, what are you listening to? as a subscriber to chewing the fat, you have to say chewing the fat.

It's a must. I mean, it's a chewing the fat law. Look, I don't make up the laws. Actually, I do. But, you know, it's just a law. It has to. I know you're going to listen to other stuff. I get it.

But people walk around with their headphones on all the time. And they ask, hey, what are you listening to? And they don't want to hear, oh, I'm just listening to my Adele's song that I like so much. No, they don't care. But what they do care about is if, what do you listen to? You just take that one ear out? Oh, I'm listening to. chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher, then you can plug back in and listen to the song or whatever show

you were listening to, but you promoted the show and as a subscriber to chewing the fat, that's a law. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. Well, I see DirecTV is buying DISH TV and Sling TV from Echo Star for a dollar. Oh, that's great. I'll give you a dollar. Well, they're taking on the nine point. $75 billion in debt to create the largest U.S. pay TV provider with 20 million subscribers. AT&T sells its stake in direct TV to a private equity firm. Ah, good. And, you know, so no problem.

We're just getting bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger and people are assuming debt. Good luck paying off that debt, though. But, you know, okay, the largest pay TV provider. Epic Games has slapped Google with an antitrust. suit over app stores for a second time. The new suit also targets Samsung, claiming it worked with Google to add a default feature to its phones that makes it harder for users to use third-party app stores. Hmm, interesting.

YouTube has reached a deal to bring back music videos, including some from famous artists, like, oh, someone I mentioned earlier, Adele and Green Day. Yeah, because you don't want to be without Green Day videos. and they were removed because of a contract dispute with Performance Rights Group, S-E-S-A-C. Wonder what they wanted. I bet you it was more money. And don't worry. You know, everything is fine with that.

You'll be able to see your favorite Nirvana video because it's all good now. They apparently, let's see, what the video content from the S-E-S-A-C, I wonder what they want. wanted. Let's see. I bet it was more money. Because they now licensed the public performance of more than 1.5 million songs on behalf of 15,000 affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, which include, you know, Dylan, Neil Diamond, Rush, Adele, Jack Harlow, Arende, Disclosure, Zach Brown, Roseancash, Hillary Scott, Lady Lee Bryce, Margot Price, Nikki Jam, yeah, I can't get enough a Nikki Jam, Blanco Brown, and many, many more. So our music license agreement has expired without this agreement on renewal conditions,

despite our best efforts. We blocked the content on U.S. YouTube. And with copyright laws, it doesn't say. It doesn't say. It just says that they worked out a deal. Interesting. Of course, it's obviously more money, no problem. Now, today, for those of you listening live, I mentioned, is October 1st, 2024.

we were supposed to have the list of the fat bear week bracket for the fattest bears at catmine national park however there's been a little bit of turmoil going on at the catmine national park i know really weird another story that we're being overwhelmed with so what happened at catmine national park well i told you last week that you could watch the videos of the bears eating fish and showing up. And so now they had a bear fight that was on the videos that they have at the park. They had this bear fight and one bear was killed. So Bear 469 attacked and killed Bear 402 at Brooks River, which is downriver from Brooks

Falls in Catmine National Park. It was witnessed on the live webcams in the park. and because this incident, the Fat Bear Week reveal is postponed until later today because I guess they needed to move around, maybe 469 and, you know, 402 was supposed to be in the bracket,

and now 402 is dead. 469, I don't know, whether they're going to punish him or her and not let her be in the brackets, we shall see. I'll be interested to see if 469 makes it to the bracket. And so they say, hey, it's the wonders of nature, harsh realities. Each bear seen on the webcams is competing with others to survive.

Yeah, no kidding. In real life, that's the way it works. Then we find out that we have humans in the park feeding the bears. What are we doing? No, the bears, they feed themselves. That's what they do. They go out and they hunt for food. They fight for each other.

and they get the food that they need. But apparently there's some anglers on the Brooks River that were witnessed by and park employees giving bears food. That's a no-dough. I mean, that's just me. That's just dumb. So now, no, they've ruined it for everybody. No more anglers on the Brooks River in the park because, sorry about it.

We can't have that because the bears learn, hey, humans are a source of food. And then that becomes unsafe conditions. for humans. And you have to go with humans first always. But stop feeding the bears. What are you doing? They're feeding themselves. The salmon is for them.

And you're up there fishing. Good. Take your couple of salmon or whatever the limit is and get out. Don't be feeding the bears. Let the bears get their own food. But nope, no more anglers on there. Not until the end of the month. And then, you know, the stamina will be gone by then.

So good luck. And thanks for ruining it for everyone. So we'll find out if the, We'll find out the bracket tomorrow. I'm going to actually later today. And we'll also see if Bear 469 is in the bracket. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR on X.

Well, sadly, well, every time we mention someone who died, it's sad. but this is in particular extra sad. Major League former Major League Baseball star Pete Rose has passed away

at the age of 83. No cause of death was given but Pete was in fairly poor health I guess. In the last picture I saw of him he was in a wheelchair so I'm not quite sure everything that was going on with Pete

but very sad that Pete has passed away. I mean he has holds the record for the all-time hit list with 4,256 hits over a 24-season career. Later, he was banned for gambling as a manager. When he was not, he's banned from the Hall of Fame. Now, I still, we've talked about this for many years whenever the topic comes up.

I'm okay, I guess, with Pete being banned from the Hall of Fame as a manager. But as a player, come on, is Pete Rose, man. This guy was the guy. And I mean, he had carried baseball on his back. I mean, he was with the Cincinnati Reds, the big red machine, three-time World Series champion. He holds a record for the most games played, 3,562. Most played appearances, 15,890. National League record for the longest hitting streak at 44.

And, you know, then they said, oh, no, you're gambling on the sport, and you're done. Have a nice day. And so I guess they claim that he admitted betting on baseball in 2004. I don't think he ever bet against his team. But, you know, maybe he did. I don't know. But, you know, just so sad that this guy who is Mr. Baseball, Charlie Hustle, can't be in the Hall of Fame. It's really sad.

And I was going through, you know, Pete Rose history yesterday after finding out that he died. And I'm watching the time when he set the all-time history. record. And it was September 11th, September 11th, I know that date may sound familiar, in 1985, 1985. I mean, you want to talk about another lifetime ago. 1985, that might even be a two or three lifetimes ago.

And it was, you know, Mard Schott was the owner of the Reds at the time. And it was his first time at bad in the first inning. I mean, everybody was there to see him get the record. I feel, and the pitch looked like it was just like, okay, go ahead. I'm going to give you the pitch, get your hit, let's get this thing out of the way, okay? And they did.

And the place went crazy, and it was just incredible. And, you know, the world was great. In 1985, I mean, I even posted another lifetime ago, but really, I mean, that was in 1985, that was two or three lifetimes ago, really incredible. And then I watch a clip, which I'd seen before, and it's really fascinating. he's on the screen with A-Rod and Frank Thomas. And they're talking about batting and hitting. And Pete Rose gives a tutelage on hitting that is,

if you love baseball or you're a baseball player or you have kids that play baseball, you should make them watch this because it is outstanding. I mean, even Frank Thomas, the big hurt, Frank Thomas. I never thought of it like that. Yeah, no kidding, Frank. That's why you just came up and I just came up and swang the bat really hard and hit the baseball and it went out of the ballpark. Yeah, we know.

We know. We watched you. You were great. But I just thought that funny. I never thought of it that way. Yeah. No kidding. We know. That's why you were just the big hurt. Anyway, Pete Rose passed away at the age of 83. I will say, I did see a post that made me smile and I don't know that it could ever happen, but maybe some internet content creators could make

it seemed like it happened at the baseball Hall of Fame. So an X account under the title of Squatching Duck at STTNG Duck posted, if Pete Rose is cremated, someone should covertly visit the Hall of Fame with pockets full of Pete and sprinkle them strategically throughout the building. That is awesome. I think I want that to happen. then he just gets swept up with the janitors and he's not really there. But some internet content creators should just go there and drop dirt on the floor of the Hall of Fame

and pretend that it's Pete Rose. I'm sure that will go over great. Rest in peace to Pete Rose dead at the age of 83. Then we get news of NBA Hall of Famer DeKembe Matomba. has passed away at the age of 58. I mean, this guy was a monster. Eight-time All-Star blocked over 3,000 shots, has the second most shots blocked in the league,

I think, behind Akeem Eiji 1. He has died of brain cancer at the age of 58. Interesting. Interesting that he has died of brain cancer at the age of 58. and I believe that he was just diagnosed with brain cancer just a couple of years ago. Huh. He also, I believe, was promoting, you know, the vaccine.

Oh, no. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud. I mean, there's video out there of him saying, stay informed with trusted sources like the who and get vaccinated, and we can be safe and defeat COVID. And that was in 2021. so I'm sure that he also got the vaccine. And I saw where Rob Schneider took a big, you know, big slap online because he said, rest in peace.

I'm sure this is just another coincidence. And then he goes on to say, I took a pass on the jab, and I'm going to not let anyone I know and who will listen get it either. And he just took a big beating on that. How dare you? How dare you? Well, I mean, if he was diagnosed after all of the vaccine talk, there's plenty of cases to be made that it fast-tracked the brain cancer or any cancers around the world.

But, you know, sure, there's no proof. There's no proof. And if there was proof, I'm sure they would tell us, right? Right. So rest in peace to de Kempbe Montembo, dead at the age of 58. then we have this Norwegian guy. I don't think he's dead yet. It hasn't been reported that he's dead yet.

But the Norwegian Indian man tied to the company that helped supply the explosive pagers to Hezbollah has gone missing. Wait, what? Yeah. It's going to come as to surprise. But Renson Jose 39 disappeared on a trip to Boston last. week on the heels of the Pager and walkie-talkie explosions, the left 39 dead, more than 3,000 injured in Lebanon on a suspected Israeli attack targeting Hezbollah. Yeah. So they were looking for him. Oslo police received a missing person report in connection with the Pager case. And so we don't

know where he is. Now, did he come up missing on purpose? Maybe he's not missing, but he's in hiding? Or is he actually missing? I don't know. I don't know. Just that we don't know where our man is. And he founded the company in 2022. And he was seen leaving a conference in Boston. And the same day that the Pagers were detonated.

And then we haven't seen him since. So maybe he had one of the Pagers. I don't know. Maybe he was wearing one of the Pagers and was taken out. I don't know. he has not been seen as far as I know and he hasn't been confirmed dead yet so maybe he's just

you know missing 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 handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest

ooh cashmere landed makeup palettes from the brands you love rushes too and hustled All those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals.

You gift the good stuff. Well, he made it. He made it to 100. We mentioned yesterday that today was Jimmy Carter, former president, Jimmy Carter's birthday. He is 100 years old. And apparently he's still alive. That's what they're claiming. He's been in hospice for 19 months.

I was under the impression. that hospice only takes you if you are, I thought it was under a year, but for sure six months. If you, if you, they, they, they believe you're going to die. I mean, I appreciate what hospice does, but what they do is they say, oh, this person is going to die and we'll take care of it.

I'm going to show you how to deal with it. And they, you know, you die within months of hospice coming on board. 19 months. Jimmy Carter has been on, in hospice care. So happy birthday to Jimmy Carter. According to his I don't know, his due boy, nephew, or

grandchild, whoever's taken care of him, he just wants to make it so in time that he's still alive so that he can vote for Kamala Harris. Does he know that? I don't know. I don't know if he knows that at all. I mean, I get it. But the last time I saw him out and about

was at his wife's funeral. And he did not look like he gets it. I'm sorry. Those pictures did not look look like a man who gets it. He looked worse than Joe Biden, and that's saying something. So I'll see, I want to, I want to know for sure that he knows what he's doing before he sends in his, uh, ballot for Kamala Harris as president. Please, let me know.

Now, maybe, maybe they're keeping them alive. They've got a new kind of thing that they've developed, I think is really cool. Uh, it's, uh, tiny oxygen. filled micro particles. Now, these micro particles are filled with oxygen, as I said, but they inject them into your bloodstream, which can

keep you alive, even if you can't intake air into your lungs. That's kind of cool. I'm kind of happy to know that that exists. So it's helping, you know, deliver oxygen to the tissues in need, even if you can't breathe.

So yes to that. Maybe that's what they're putting in Jimmy. Maybe that's all they're doing is giving him micro particle filled oxygen particles, and they're just keeping him alive like that. Because the last time we saw him, he did not look well at all. Well, he was in hospital, Jeff. I know. I know.

He's supposed to have been dead already. I don't wish that on anyone, but that's what's supposed to happen. And it hasn't. So I, you know, I'm going to be surprised if it hasn't happened. And we're just being told that he's still alive. Anyway, I mean, happy birthday to Jimmy Carter. Alive or dead. Happy birthday to Jimmy Carter.

I also see where there's a new stem cell treatment that they're talking about that has reversed a woman's type 1 diabetes. Wow. It's a new study. A case marks the first in which a patient with type 1 was treated using cells from her own body. Researchers at Beijing's Peking University. And man, do I love the research. researchers at Beijing's Peking University, extracted patient cells

and reverted them into their plurotent state, pluripotent state, pluripotent state. They then developed those cells into insulin-producing cells responsible for turning glucose into energy. The process attacked by the body

when a person has type 1 diabetes. The team tested the cells in mice and primates for safety. Then in June of last year, injected 1.5 million cells into this patient's abdomen. Two and a half months later, the patient was producing enough insulin on our own to forego other treatments. I mean, that's kind of cool, if that's true. Roughly half a billion people are suffering with diabetes, and if they can have this worked out with their own stem cells to reverse

the process, go ahead, have that sugar and don't worry about it. It's all fine. Maybe worry about it if you can't breathe. Because we can put those micropartisan particles in you as well. And you don't have to worry about eating right either because we can reverse that now as well. So, I mean, got to love that. I don't care.

I mean, of course it comes from Beijing's Peking University, of course. But it's good news. Good news. If true. All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. In fact, I have two jokes of the day. One was sent in, well, both were sent in to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

One, I have read this joke for two days now and I don't get it. So I need your help. I guess I could not share it and just let it go. But I can't do that because it's bugged me for two days. I want to get it. I want it to be funny and I don't get it. So we're going to share that and then I'll share the actual joke of the day, which is kind of a big guy joke.

from Jimmy, but, you know, I like it. It made me laugh, so we'll do it. Okay, so this is joke one from William, who I've read this thing for a couple days now, and I don't, I need help. I want it to be funny. Okay, I want it to be funny, but I don't get it. A duck walks into a bar.

Sits down and orders a beer and a ham sandwich. I mean, really, you could just leave it. I mean, that's funny. It's in and of itself, right? The bartender looks at him in a strange manner, and the duck says, I'm tired. Just give me a beer and a ham sandwich. The bartender gets the duck as a man.

order and says, you know, we don't get many ducks in here. And the duck says he was working construction across the street, says that he's a plasterer. This goes on for three weeks. Every day the duck comes in, gets his beer and his ham sandwich and talks with the bartender who by now is, you know, a friend. And one day the circus comes to town and the ringmaster happens into the bar. The bartender tells the ringmaster about his friend the duck and says what a great attraction he would be in the circus. The ringmaster is very excited and wants to see the duck. So he tells the bartender, hey, call him next time he comes in. The duck comes in the next day, and the bartender excitedly tells the duck about a great

new job being with the circus. And the duck asks, you mean a circus with animals and cages under a big canvas tent with a hole in the middle? And the bartender says, yes. And the duck looks at him and says, why in the world would they want a plasterer? See what I mean? It's a nice little story. I just don't know.

What am I supposed to laugh at? What's the punchline? Why in the world they, why would they want a plasterer? You know, whack, whack. I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. So I'm sharing it with you.

Maybe you can email chewing the fact of blaze.com and help me out. If I'm missing something? Because if I am, you know, I'm sorry. I'm pretty good at, pretty good at knowing jokes and punchlines. And I just, I don't get it. So this one I'm sharing with you as the joke of the day from Jimmy. Kind of a big guy joke.

But it made me think about Tupperware closing because this joke is using Avon. And we all were forced to have Avon parties at our house. At least I remember my mom and grandmother and having the Avon cologne bottles of golfing and everything for Christmas presents. Ugh, everywhere. I just like the Tupperware one. Okay. Why did the Avon lady walk funny?

I don't know. Why did the Avon lady walk funny? Because her lipstick. See, I get that. I get that one. Well, I don't get the, why in the world would they want to plaster her from the duck? Maybe it's just me. I don't know.
