Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Sad news for employees of Amazon, their CEO, Andy Jassy, who took over after Jeff Bezos stepped down, has said yesterday that, yeah, you employees that are working from your bed, those days are over. We expect to have employees returned to the office five days a week. Now, we're not going to force you, you know, if you're listening live today, today is September 17th, 2024. We can't just mandate, hey, how about next week you start coming into the office? No,
Starting point is 00:01:11 you have until January to wrap your head around going to the office five days a week. Andy said, we've decided that we're going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of COVID. Oh, when we look back over the last five years, we continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant. Uh, thank you, Andy. So we've observed that it's easier for our teammates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture, collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective. Teaching and learning from one another are more seamless, and teams tend to be better connected to one another. So look, we understand that it's going to require some adjustments. So don't you think it's going to happen overnight?
Starting point is 00:02:04 We just expect you back here on January 2nd, and you'll be expected to be here every day of the week, you know, to do your job. Now, I will say this. Andy said they're still going to be flexible with employees. If your kids are sick or there's a house emergency, or if you needed a more quiet environment to code, he said that will still be the case. You can still have the remote work exception,
Starting point is 00:02:33 but that expectation is for most employees to return to the office full-time in January. So, dry your eyes, Amazon employees, because you only have a little over three months to wrap your head around showing up at the office every day. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Now, I'm sure that the employees having to return to work in January have nothing to do with Jeff Bezos, dropping to number three on the richest person list. I'm sure it has nothing to do with that. Yeah, he's not number two anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Elon is still number one at $251 billion of network. but Oracle's chairman, Larry Ellison, has just become the second richest person, pushing Jeff Bezos down to number two, or I mean number three. He was number two. Very sad. But I'm sure. I'm sure that it has, that list has nothing to do with Amazon saying, hey, get back to work every day.
Starting point is 00:03:50 because Bezos is just, he's not even the CEO of the company anymore. He's just hanging out at, you know, the space, blue origin and, you know, riding his yacht around the world with his fiance. But you workers, you get to work in the office every day, will you? Because I can't, I can't. I mean, it's bad enough that I have to be behind Elon and now I have to be behind Larry Ellison and to Elon? No, that simply will not do. You know, and there's a lot of talk about security these days around high-profile people, you know, since the former president and the leading candidate
Starting point is 00:04:32 for president of the Republican Party has had an assassination attempt twice in the last couple of months. I was looking at what the CEOs, you know, Tesla, I mean, Elon, Tesla, SpaceX, and near a link. He spends about $2.4 million to cover a portion of the protection that he had. Apparently, he travels with 20 security personnel. I don't blame him. I would be traveling with that many as well. Elon spent an average of about $145,000 a month on security. Yeah, I would say that that's a reasonable price to pay for him, for his safety. Now, Bezos spends about a little over a million a year. And Tim Cook spends about $800.
Starting point is 00:05:24 He doesn't spend a million. He spends $820,000 a year on security. And Zuckerberg spends $23 million plus on security for him. Oh, wow. He must have a solid million. standing security at all his properties, whether he's there or not. That is incredible. But, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:50 He can afford it. So let him do what he wants to do. I would like to see some of that security around our former president. But, well, he's got the Secret Service, Jeff. Oh, okay. Well, then, never mind. Don't worry about it. Speaking of billionaires, this weekend, I saw a post that talked about Mark Davis,
Starting point is 00:06:10 the billionaire owner who owns the Las Vegas Raiders, the NFL franchise. Now, he's a billionaire, but he's like the low man on the totem pole. He's only worth, I don't even think he's worth $3 billion, to be honest. What a joke. He's not even worth $3 billion. So he, and he only owns, you know, he's like the 23rd richest owner in the NFL. What a loser. Anyway, there was a point.
Starting point is 00:06:40 post about Mark and his new girlfriend. Oh, well, that's interesting. Yes. Mark has a 26-year-old girlfriend. And I, you know, look, good for him. And, you know, that's my argument. You can't put an age limit on love. I got that.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But according to this post over the weekend, the 69-year-old Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, said his 26-year-old girlfriend didn't know he was a billionaire. She was just attracted to his beautiful smile. Okay, Mark, take it easy. No one believes that. And I don't even think you believe that. But if you want to keep telling yourself that, you go ahead. So she's apparently the girlfriend
Starting point is 00:07:29 is a Cirque de Soleil performer, which, you know, good for her. She's at least got a gig. And she just loves Mark. And she didn't know that. he was a billionaire. Look, if there's a guy sitting in a room that looks like Mark Davis, and I don't know what his deal is with his weird-looking haircut, I don't know if it has something to do. He's probably got some kind of disease, though I'm not supposed to make fun of it. I don't know. But I just know he's a strange-looking man. And if he is surrounded and living large, you pretty much know you got a good shot that this guy is worth something, right? Maybe you don't think he's a billionaire. Maybe he's a few, you know, multi-millionaire.
Starting point is 00:08:10 hundred millionaire, but you know he's worth something. If he is just sitting there in his flannel shirt and work boots, she's not giving him the time of day. Okay, let's be, Mark, you know that. Mark, Mark, come here. You know that, right? I mean, it's okay. I'm okay with it. You're 69 years old. You're a billionaire and you got this hot 26 year old girlfriend. I get it. But don't fool yourself. Come on, man. You know. No, you know. We'll say this, whether you're a billionaire or just a regular an air. That's what I am, just a regular an heir. It's still, you know, good to be prepared for things.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I mean, you can look around at today's events all over the world, and you can feel a little uneasy. And that's what has been created in our world today, this fear of uneasiness. Well, there's a way to at least curb some of the uneasiness. by being prepared.

Starting point is 00:11:06 at OnePeloton.ca. So we find out that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has dropped out of the race for President of the United States and endorsed Donald Trump, is now being investigated for that dead whale story. we talked about it I don't know how long ago
Starting point is 00:11:24 when it surfaced I don't know a month or so ago maybe a couple months ago where his daughter had done an interview with variety I think back in 2012
Starting point is 00:11:33 and it talked about how he had gone to the beach and chain saw this whale's head off because he wanted the skull and then put it on top of their minivan and drove it home and she talked about how
Starting point is 00:11:49 the whale goo was coming coming into the car as they were driving along and people were pointing and freaking out. So now she told the story in 2012, I think. And the story actually happened in 1994. And I'm sorry, it was not variety. It was Town and Country magazine that his daughter, Kick, Kennedy talked about this dead whale incident.
Starting point is 00:12:26 So now, the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund. And man, who doesn't love the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, has argued that the dead animal was protected by the marine mammal protection and endangered species, making it illegal to possess any part of it. I don't know if I asked then, does he still have the skull? And that was never answered. So they claim that it's likely a felony violation of the 1900 Lacey Act. And who, you don't want to mess with the 1900 Lacey Act, which prohibits the transportation of any wildlife, dead or alive,
Starting point is 00:13:04 that is reduced to possession and violation of any state, federal, or international regulation or law. Wait, the 1900 Lacey Act, which prohibits the transportation of any wildest, life, dead or alive, that was reduced to possession in violation of any state, federal, international regulation or law. Every time we, I mean, if the whale was dead on the beach, you know, he just was already dead. He didn't kill it. So we're after him anyway. And, you know, don't forget he did.
Starting point is 00:13:44 He talked about that stupid dead bear story, too. So, you know, is it kind of strange? Yeah. You know, it's just dad. It was just dad being dad with the dead whale on the roof of the car. And she said, whale goo poured into the windows of the car. It was the rankest thing on the planet. And it happened around 1994.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Right. So, I mean, she did the story in 2012. But they're saying that it's 20 years ago. that's uh... nineteen ninety four is uh... what thirty years ago so the guy has done more for the environment and the environmental movement than possibly anyone in the united states so the center for biological diversity action fund can go ahead and calm down they're just pissed that he's uh that he's now for donald trump who i'm sure the center for biological diversity hates
Starting point is 00:14:42 so uh... because if trump gets in office i'm maybe they're fun going goes away. I don't know, but it's just strange that we're investigating him now. I want to know. If I ever give a chance to talk to him, one of my questions is going to be, does he still have the whale skull? I don't care how he got it. I think it's kind of cool, actually. Who doesn't want a whale skull hanging in there walkway as you enter the house? Come out in. Yeah, that's the whale skull I got some 30 years ago. Kind of cool, huh? I don't know if he still has it. I want to know if he still has it, or did he donate it to some museum?
Starting point is 00:15:23 Or is it just in the back shed, collected dust? I don't know, but I want to know. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

I know someone pays for it. I do not. Ever since my son started working at Buffalo Wild Wings, I place orders and those orders come home. So I don't know who pays them, but, you know, I don't. And I may have to order a Buffalo Wild Wings Cheeseburger tomorrow to celebrate the day. Dairy Queen, free cheeseburger with any dollar purchase. And to be clear, I know my son pays for it. Okay. So just shut up. It's just that I make it clear that I do not. So back off me.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Dairy Queen free cheeseburger with a dollar purchase. Nice. White Castle. Ooh, I do not like White Castle. A single cheese slider. Buy one, get one free. So you get a couple of sliders from White Castle. So those are just a few of the places you can get good deals on cheeseburgers tomorrow, which is National Cheeseburger Day. And I see where Stoufers is being announced, Stoufers is trying to take on Kraft with its new box macaroni and cheese. Wow, I might have to actually try that. Craft has had the cornerstone on that market for a long time, man. I know, you know, Velvita tried to take a little dent out of the Kraft mac and cheese.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And I don't know that they actually took that big a dent out of Kraft mac and cheese. But they did with the Velvita mac and cheese. But now Nestle's is launching a line of boxed mac and cheese. called Stoufers Supreme. Shelfstable mac and cheese is, well, yeah, it's a billion, it's almost $3 billion category dominated by Kraft Heinz. Nestle thinks that the frozen food brand
Starting point is 00:20:30 can capitalize on its strong name recognition and promises of more cheese sauce. Yeah, I mean, Stoufers mac and cheese, frozen is awesome. No question. We've all, and I will say, they're serving sizes, you know, like the family, tray of macaroni and cheese?
Starting point is 00:20:48 That's a small family. It's not the Jeff Fisher family. But anyway, they, you know, so they're celebrating, you know, 70 years of frozen entrees, pizzas, lasagnas, macaroni and cheese. So now we're going to try to hit the store shelves with boxed stofer's mac and cheese. We'll give it a try. We'll give it a try. Because the craft regular mac and cheese, obviously, is their staple, you know, just the
Starting point is 00:21:13 box mac and cheese or shells and cheddar, whatever it is. the twists and then you have the craft family dinner squeeze with the sauce, which is pretty good. And the Velvita mac and cheese is okay, it's pretty good. I mean, I'm not opposed to doing that. I lived on store brand mac and cheese and shells and cheddar for a number of, well, months and years. When I first moved to Florida, a hundred years ago, I had zero money. And I was walking back and forth to work.
Starting point is 00:21:44 and I bought dented boxes of thrifty made, a store brand mac and cheese and shells and cheddar for, you know, cheaper because they were damaged. I don't know how they got damaged, but, you know, you got a cheaper deal on them. And that's how I lived, man. I lived off of that stuff because I didn't have any money. I barely have any money now,
Starting point is 00:22:09 but I have moved up to, you know, craft mac and cheese now instead of the thrifty made shells and cheddar. But I, and I don't want to go back, but if I had to, I would. Then I saw, what was I going to talk about? I got all hung up on macaroni and cheese. That's all I want now is mac and cheese. I'm not opposed to the craft mac and cheese just out of the box like that. You mix it just right.
Starting point is 00:22:30 That stuff is good. Anyway, I was going to, oh, the new shows, because I see Tulsa King is up and running. Awesome on Paramount Plus. obviously only murders in the building is up one episode at a time and the old man is up and running on FX awesome with Jeff Bridges and then the Penguin which is an eight episode series that spins off of the Batman that starts Thursday night on HBO Max that looks like it's going to be really good
Starting point is 00:23:06 and it's supposed to pick up right where Batman left off the movie. And so I'm really looking forward to the penguin, except the only thing is, is that what's his face plays the penguin in a fat suit. And I, I'm tired of Hollywood fat shaming. It's, you know, no, if you're trans, you got to have, if you're a trans character, you got to have a trans actor. If you're, you know, a gay character, you got to have a gay actor. Apparently in Hollywood, it's okay that a thin person can play a fat person because it happens all the time. And I'm a little pissed about the fat shaming, but I will watch because Colin Farrell play does actually does a great job as the penguin. And then I saw an interview about
Starting point is 00:23:44 Dexter, which I guess is coming back. Uh, everyone in the world thought Dexter was dead. Uh, you know, the serial killer, Dexter, which was, you know, I mean, the first, I don't know how many, the first two or three seasons of Dexter were really, really good. Uh, then it kind of, you know, beat it off a little bit. But Dexter is, you know, what a great character. And, uh, what's his face that, uh, plays Dexter. I saw an interview with him. What's his stupid name?
Starting point is 00:24:14 Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael C. Michael C. Hall plays Dexter. He was interviewed about the show, and one of the interviews was like, Hey, didn't you die? Doesn't the reporter know? It's Hollywood? No way. If you die, you can come back to life.
Starting point is 00:24:34 No problem. And apparently, and I don't remember the exact ending and I'll have to go back and see but his answer was, did he? And he didn't say how he was coming back to life but he did say apparently it's really, really cold.
Starting point is 00:24:52 So maybe they made it look like he died and then he got frozen and they're bringing him back to life. But Dexter original sin starts in December and according to all reports, Dexter is not. dead. With Amex platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.
Starting point is 00:25:37 You know, yesterday I mentioned that the Coast Guard's Marine Board of Investigations of his beginning hearings on Ocean Gate, the Titan submersible, that imploded in, June of 23. And I, you know, we lost the lives of five people. Very sad. But, I mean, we're pretty sure
Starting point is 00:25:57 that we know what happened, right? Apparently not. This testimony is supposed to be two weeks? Two weeks? Ah, come on. You want to talk about wasting government time and money. That would be this.
Starting point is 00:26:11 We're going to hear testimony for two weeks on the Titan submersible and find out what actually, I mean, it suffered equipment issues, and it was a sadly run operation. We already know, okay, I don't know that we're going to learn anything new about the Titan submersible and Ocean Gate. But, you know, maybe we will. Maybe after two weeks of hearings, since it's been well over a year that this has happened,
Starting point is 00:26:42 we'll find out something new. I doubt it, though. I doubt it. I mean, maybe this is to do with where we're, we can throw the blame and who owes who money at the end. But I don't know. I honestly, I don't know. Did the have the families that were on the, that were had relatives on the, the submarine, have they sued? I guess. I mean, the passengers paid money to be on this sub and signed away their, you know, risk, if anything were to happen. That's what.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I was, that's what I thought. You know, I mean, I realize that you, you know, have a, you know, you have a reasonable thought that everything is going to be fine when you do that and you sign, you know, sign your life away on the disclaimer. But, okay, anyway, good luck. We'll see if we learned anything new. And if we have someone new to blame and if someone's going to get a whole bunch of money because we have someone new to blame, that would be great.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I remember I said that the reason we were seeing the National Guard in New York City wasn't because, originally I thought it was because they were getting ready to throw Trump in jail. And it wasn't about the illegals or the immigrants that are in the city. I thought they were there getting ready to, you know, handle the crowds if they threw President Trump, former President Trump in jail. Well, that was postponed now, which is really surprising to me. I thought for sure they were going to attempt to. throw him in jail. Why do they need to do that? They're trying to kill him. Oh, okay. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:28:24 But now, and then I thought, oh, my gosh, they're still going after Mayor Adams. They're, they've searched his two people working in his administration. They've raided their homes, taken all their electronic devices. Two X fire chiefs in New York City have been arrested for a corruption scandal. So that's what's happened. I mean, the National Guard is in New York City preparing for all these heads of different city branches that are going to go down. And when the police, the heads of the police start going down, they're going to need someone there to keep the law in order. And that's what the National Guard is there for. So Mayor Adams, you made the mistake of coming after this administration about their illegal immigration
Starting point is 00:29:14 plans in New York City. That was a huge mistake because they don't play. and they started coming after you almost immediately, and it's not going to stop now, man. Be careful if you're in New York City, because times are going to get tough, as if they weren't already. So the headline is Boeing says it's considering temporary layoffs to save cash during the strike by machinists.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Yeah. So Boeing plans to freeze hiring and reduce travel, and is considering temporary layoffs to save cash during a factory worker strike that began last week. So the company said the moves which include reduced spending on suppliers were necessary because our business is in a difficult period. Yeah, no kidding. And all the people on strike know that. And all the people that work at the company that are not for the strike know that as well.
Starting point is 00:30:11 It's really a sad situation. Boeing is in a tough spot. Oh, man, they are in a tough spot. They got the new CEO. They're trying to turn this business around, trying to change the perceived inequities, to be nice. I mean, just the perceived poor choices and poor construction that Boeing has done.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's only perceived. It's only perceived that they just suck at doing what they do. But they're, you know, that's what needs to happen. So the strike is still ongoing, and they're peccating several locations around Washington State, Oregon, and California. And we just want to, they, the strikers, are just saying, hey, we just want a piece of the pie like everybody else. We should, well, why should we work all this overtime and bust our backs while these guys, Boeing executives, are sitting, sitting up in their suites, just raking in the cash? well, maybe they're doing a little bit more than that, which is really kind of agonizing to me when I hear that.
Starting point is 00:31:22 But I get the feeling. We hate the bosses now, and the bosses suck. And that's my favorite line, actually, when my stepdad, who was a plant superintendent at the time for General Motors. And he was arguing with Union Head. And Roger Smith was then the CEO of General Motors. and the union members told my stepdad, F you, you think Roger Smith looks down here
Starting point is 00:31:51 and he can't tell the difference between you and a janitor. And you're fighting for him? That's a great line. When Roger Smith looks down here, you can't tell the difference between you and a janitor. Really funny. Didn't help his argument with my dad. And also, you know, the other argument to that
Starting point is 00:32:11 is that at least Roger Smith, knows who I am. He doesn't know who you are, Mr. Union member. So back away from my desk. Anyway, Boeing still struggling. And I don't know that that's news, but it's definitely happening. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

I mean, he's obviously innocent until proven guilty, but he was charged on three counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to those legal documents. If convicted, he could face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Obviously, his attorneys are fighting and fighting like hell. as a quote from his lawyer, Mark Agna Fililo. Mark Agna Phil Phil. A-G-N-I-F-I-L-O. I don't need the girl to come up. It's okay. She's been off for today and let her go. Combs is charged with a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals.
Starting point is 00:34:15 According to the indictment, he hit, kicked through objects at, and dragged victims sometimes by their hair. Combs and his associates... It's not funny. I'm not laughing at that. It's not funny at all. Combs and his associates would threaten and coerce victims
Starting point is 00:34:34 into participating in days of long sex events called freak-offs. Freak-offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, and diddled with himself and often electronically recorded in indictment state. the indictment states. According to the indictment,
Starting point is 00:34:52 Combs would hire male sex workers, sometimes arranging for them to be transported across state lines or internationally, and we can't have that. According to the Southern District of New York, women were given ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB. Combs and the participants often required IV fluids to recuperate from the drug use.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I mean, it's supposed to do. During the searches of Combs' residences in March, investigators seized freak-off supplies, including drugs and more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and other lubricant. Combs is also accused of controlling the victims using violence as well as promises of financial reward or punishment. Combs and his security personnel carried firearms
Starting point is 00:35:39 and Combs sometimes brandished a gun to threaten victims and witnesses in the case. According to indictment, the search has turned up multiple AR-15s with defaced serial numbers as well as a drum magazine, Wow. He would also use the videos of the freak-offs as collateral to ensure the victims remain silent about the abuse, according to the indictment. In the second and third counts, Combs is accused of causing an unnamed victim to engage in commercial sex acts, knowingly transported an individual in interstate and foreign commerce with intent that the individual engage in prostitution, among other claims. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:18 He didn't do it all on his own. And he has been charged with a racketeering conspiracy. He's also said that once the federal investigation got underway, Combs and his associates sought to impede it. How dare they? How dare they sought to impede the investigation? They were going to put them away for years. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I mean, he was just handed the key to New York City. And today he's indicted. So, wow, it's a 16-page detention letter asking Combs be held without bail. Yeah, I mean, he's definitely a flight risk. There's no doubt about that. So Diddy Combs in a tad bit of trouble. You can quote me on that. He is in a tad bit of trouble.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I mean, R. Kelly is probably saying, see, I wasn't alone. These guys, man, these guys are such dirt bags. and they were living a life like they couldn't be stopped. So maybe now they will be. So I was tagged in a post on X that was said that, I mean, clearly the neighbor was in the right. What are we doing? Question mark, question mark, question mark,
Starting point is 00:37:36 Hans, police. Yes, I am a Heinz police officer and I have a badge stating such. But this post is, and who knows if it's real or not? not, but it is, uh, it feels like it could be real. My neighbor at this coming from Woody Loves Coffee, uh, at Woody Loves Coffee. Uh, my neighbor asked to borrow ketchup. Yes, I know, a neighbor. And gave me attitude because it was Hunts and not Heinz. So I pulled it back and refused to give it to her. And now our altercation is on the neighborhood app. What I'm saying is we're living in the stupidest timeline in history.
Starting point is 00:38:18 No, we are not. They're at Woody Loves Coffee. First of all, it is unacceptable that you have, that you're using Hunts instead of Heinz. But that aside, was it a test? Did you have Heinz in the house? And you thought the neighbor, you know, needing extra ketchup, you would just get rid of the hunts, which I could see happening. If I have someone brought Hunts over to the house, I wouldn't kick him out for it because I have my own Heinz,
Starting point is 00:38:45 but I wouldn't use it either. So if someone said, hey, I need to borrow some ketchup, I'm out of ketchup. I don't know. Would I give them the Hunts bottle just to get rid of the Hants? Probably not. Probably not. I feel like I would just throw the Humps bottle out and continue on the Hines. So the real problem is, and I don't blame the neighbor, I would have blocked as well.
Starting point is 00:39:08 First of all, I'm not going to my neighbor for more ketchup. I'm sending someone out to get some more Hines, or I'll go out and get some more Hines. but I am not going to the neighbors and asking to borrow some ketchup. Nope, not going to do that because it might happen. You might be a at Woody loves coffee person who has hunts ketchup and that is unacceptable. I would have to decline. I would pull back as well. So easy there at Woody's Love Coffee because I mean it's bad enough that you're using hunts.
Starting point is 00:39:40 But then you offer to share that and you're pissed because people find it unacceptable. Sorry, it is unacceptable. Another thing I think is unacceptable is how the University of Tennessee jumped the University of Missouri in the AP Top 25 poll this week. Missouri undefeated was number six. Now they are ranked number seven. Tennessee, who was seven, is now ranked number six. That's unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I mean, I thought it didn't matter. I mean, Tennessee has been scoring ungodly amounts of points against their opponents. And, you know, it's incredible. but Missouri has been winning, and they are both 3 and O, and they were already ranked. So I thought the amount of points scored didn't matter. I guess I'm wrong. So I don't want to hear any more coaches say, well, we didn't want to score more than 50
Starting point is 00:40:33 because it makes the other team look bad. No, pile it on. Pile it on. I know that Texas is now number one in the country in the AP top 25. they jumped the University of Georgia. Both teams won. Georgia struggled a little bit, but still undefeated again, that's another thing. Texas, you know, destroyed their opponents, but apparently they believe that because they
Starting point is 00:40:58 score all these points, they're better than Georgia. I would, boy, I would question that. I mean, Texas is really good. And Arch Manning even came in with Quinn Ewers going down there, number one quarterback. And he looked awesome, and Texas looks really, really good. But Georgia is Georgia. You can quote me on that. Georgia is Georgia.
Starting point is 00:41:18 So Missouri is unacceptable that they get jumped by the University of Tennessee to be. I mean, it's still in the top ten, but still unacceptable. But we'll see how the year continues on in college football. So the top ten is Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Missouri, Miami, Oregon, and Penn State. And it's going to be an interesting year, especially. when we get into the 12th team playoff. Holy cow. That will be some fun.
Starting point is 00:41:48 All right, let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day. A joke of the day comes through email from Paul. Paul emailed Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, and he said, Jeffie. This is one for the joke of the day. And I said, okay, I'll use it. What do you call a group of transgender women superhero?
