And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
For many months during the pandemic, Texas had the highest number of people quitting their jobs.
Last year, Texas and California traded the trophy back and forth.
I didn't know there was a trophy, but apparently there is.
Who was quitting capital of the U.S. in any given moment?
Okay, so I guess you get the, you do get the trophy for the coding capital of the U.S.
Anyway, this time of year, according to the seasonally adjusted figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the six to eight months for which we have data, more workers in Texas headed to the exits than in any other state in the country.
From January through August, 3,154,000 people in the Lone Star State gave their notice and left their job.
Wow.
So there were, however, 4,643 million people in Texas that got jobs.
So it's all good.
No problem.
The people that left their jobs apparently had a job waiting for them.
That's where we get the workplace musical chairs, right?
So apparently, and according to this, people aren't jumping for big pay raises.
I guess the pay gap between stitchers and stayers
is the narrowest it's been since the fall of 2020.
Yeah, but I'm sure there's other things that are just a little bit better
over there on the other side of the fence.
So the labor shortage is likely to be here to stay
and that voluntary quits will remain elevated,
according to the experts,
because the only way to fill open rolls
is by poaching them from another company.
So if you don't want to lose,
your employees be nice welcome welcome to chewing the fat congratulations to Chicago they are the
number one radiest city of America for the ninth year in a row I think I said third year in
a row on Mojo 5-0 this morning so I apologize because it is the ninth year in a row
Chicago is holding strong they have clinched the top spot
as the radiest city in America,
according to the pest control company,
Orkin.
So the list is based on new extermination services rendered between September 1st,
2022, and August 31st, 2023.
A Block Club, Chicago and Illinois Answers Project investigation,
found that Chicago has chronically failed to keep up with rat complaints.
It received over 50,000 complaints in 2022 and already has seen 38,742 complaints in the 2023.
Congratulations to Chicago, nine years in a row as the radiest city in America.
Now, Oregon has the top 50, but, you know, number two is Los Angeles.
New York slid to number three, which is amazing because I thought New York would be, you know, number two.
but no, Los Angeles is picking up a pace, up one, and New York is down one.
Washington, D.C. is number four.
Apparently, they're just considering the animals, not people.
Otherwise, Washington, D.C. would be number one.
San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Denver, Detroit, and Cleveland-Achran as number 10 in the
radiest cities in America.
Miami is 19th.
DFW is 22nd.
They came up a couple of,
pick it up a pair to number 22.
Tampa St. Pete is up five,
ooh, at 36th.
And Flint, Michigan,
which is, you know, right here on my hand up there by the,
you know, just below the tri-cities,
down eight.
So things apparently are taking better care in Flint.
And so congratulations to all the cities in the top 50.
ratiest cities in America.
You know, let's say you live in one of those
radiest cities in America, and at the end of the day,
you've seen the rats hard at work,
and you just want to get yourself clean.
That's where Quinn's goat soap comes in.
QP Goat Soap.com.
Get yourself clean with Quinn's goat soap.
Most people who buy soap from the store
don't realize what is doing to their skin.
Store bought soap is going to get you clean.
is going to get you clean, but it's also going to dry out your skin.
And there's a reason for that, because they want you to buy their other products and
lotions, and it's from the same company.
Duh.
Well, soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk.
And that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap.
And he's been making it the right way ever since.
If you want your skin to be clean, but also to retain its moisture, you need goat soap.
and you'll want Quinn's goat soap.
Quinn and his family are very proud of their product,
and they want you to know about it.
And good for Quinn.
I mean, he's such a young entrepreneur.
He's been doing this since he was nine years old.
He's 16 now.
He's done something most kids wouldn't even do
or maybe even couldn't do,
and that's start a business.
I've used the soap.
I love it.

You know, maybe you people,
we talked earlier about how Texas is,
you know, quitting their jobs.
Maybe it's because they want to work from home.
I see where they're saying now
that fewer than 26% of U.S. households
down from 37% of households in early 2021
are work from home.
I mean, employees are starting to push
to get workers back
at their desks and, you know, get out of the old yoga pants and underwear,
according to this, seven states now have a remote work rate of 33% compared to 31 states
while the pandemic was raging. Yeah, so maybe you quit your job because you want to work from home
and a place that needs employees are going to say, yeah, go ahead. No problem you can work from home.
That's a, you know, that's a bonus, even if you're not getting paid the same amount of money.
that's a pay raise working at home because of travel costs, right? Hello. So, and then they also
talk about in here how people are using their sick days now, especially the younger ones.
Yeah, because we were taught years ago that you needed to push through whether you were sick or not.
You need to show up at work. I was told a long time ago by a business manager of a radio station
I worked at, take your sick days. You're losing money if you don't take your sick days because you
don't get the money in the end. If they offer you, you know, how many every day, sick days a year,
at the end of the year, well, maybe some companies do. That's a bonus that you can work out in
your contractual arranging arrangements. You can say, hey, the sick days I don't use,
I'll take the money for it. Maybe you work that deal out. But usually you don't get that money back.
It's use it or lose it. So that's why I was told a long time ago, use it. So, you know,
It used to be, there's a quote in here from some project manager that talked to the Wall Street Journal that said I used to power through, but no way.
Getting laid off and now coming back to work, I'm using my sick days.
Yeah, use them because you can't get them back.
And I was just as guilty of that for years.
You come in, you're sick, you're wearing your sweatshirt, you can barely breathe, you can barely move, and you're still doing the show or you're producing the show.
and you're working in another room or opposite another person,
and you really just shouldn't be there at all because you're just German up the place.
And so remember that the next time you get sick and you feel the urge,
hey, I got to go in.
No, no you don't.
Just call in sick because you are German up the place.
And nobody likes a German-up person at the place.
Okay, go home.
You know, earlier this week I talked to,
Alison Johnson from the National Geographic
about their new book
Best of the World, which is beautiful.
It's a gorgeous book.
And you can see all these tremendous destinations
around the globe.
And we talked a little bit about,
well,
you need to have a heads up on
where you can and can't travel these days.
And I just saw where the United States
issued these travel advisories
for, you know, Afghanistan, Belarus,
Burkina, Central African Republic,
Miramar, Gaza,
Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Mexico, Niger, North Korea.
I was just going to go to North Korea too.
Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen.
I know.
So we got all these places that they're saying, now, maybe I ought to reconsider travel to those places.
Well, yeah, maybe you should.
Maybe you just get the book and look at those nice places around the world and go, yeah, that's nice.
Never going to go there, but it sure is pretty.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Hi, did you see the, well, it went viral.
It's this guy complaining that all these people at Quick Trip are parked at the gas pump, but nobody's getting gasped.
and he's all wound up about it.
Now, he says in the video,
well, I'm getting gas,
and he shows himself pulling in.
So there was a tank open.
Really strange.
I mean, I was kind of strange,
and then I thought,
well, I do that all the time.
I mean, there's no way.
I pull into gas stations,
and I park at a pump,
and go in and play the lot of or get an item
that I need in the store without getting gas.
Come back out and leave.
And there are times when, you know,
you get gas,
your gas and then when you're done pumping gas you go inside and get your stuff so it would appear
as you drive by at that particular moment there's no gas pump sticking into your car that you're
not getting gas but you already did right and the he was showing people sitting at the gas pump
just chatting and talking i mean i guess it could be a hangout place and that's where the uh the store
in this particular incident it was a quick trip needs to take that in a consideration if it's a
hangout area for those damn youngsters, then they need to call the authorities or have the
quick trip security say, hey, there's no hanging out here, move on, get going. But that
have you been said? I mean, I do that all the time. I'm not parking up in front of the building
or, you know, moving off to the side to go inside the building. Usually the station that I go to,
the pump is closest.
So you just pull in, stop at the pump,
and then you go in, and you're good to go.
Not getting any gas.
Or it's raining.
Or it's really hot out.
The sun is blasting here in Texas.
So, you know, I want to park under the overhang
so that I'm not getting blasted while I'm going in.
So there's that to think about as well.
So get over it, Cody.
You know, I was sitting in on Pat Gray's show,
which I do, you know, at least a couple times a week.
And I fill in for Pat when he is off.
You know that as well as avid listeners do chewing the fat.
I'm on Pat Groundleashed at least twice a week and sometimes more.
But I was listening to Pat do a story about the liver and it being the hardest working organ in your body.
Did you know that?
I don't think I knew that.
It's responsible for your weight management, your energy levels, cholesterol, hormone, and brain health.
Your liver is the powerhouse that holds the key to your well-being.
But the thing is, everyday bad habits take a toll on your liver.
Unhealthy eating, sitting around and watching TV all day, not doing any sports,
can all lead to a sluggish, fatty liver that makes you gain weight and experience chronic fatigue.
One in three Americans has it.
Probably even that, you know, liberal Joe Biden neighbor next to you next to.
you has it.

Okay, did you see the guy in Massachusetts, the father and his two sons?
According to this, used his covert network of convenience stores and tax-shy scratch-off winners
to defraud the lottery of more than $20 million.
Now, I'm confused.
I don't know how he defrauded the lottery.
I believe he defrauded the IRS, but I don't think he, I don't know how he defrauded the lottery.
Okay, so he tried to pass off his winning streak as a lot.
about the lottery commission was like yeah no that's that's not luck he started this scheme around 2011
and claimed 136 lottery tickets worth 217 000 the following year he claimed 214 tickets for a total of
367000 total payout then in 2013 the same year he roped his sons a josef and mohammed into the
plot, he nabbed 8867 tickets worth almost $1.3 million.
The trio cashed in using a form of money laundering known as 10% in which real lottery winners
enlist middlemen in order to avoid coughing up hefty taxes on their winnings.
Again, how does that defraud the lottery?
Instead of claiming the lucky ticket themselves, the winners have a middleman like Jafar's to
claim the prize in exchange for a 10 to 25% cut of the earnings.
The real winner is subsequently able to reap the cash benefits of their win without the tax bill,
and the 10%er typically avoids taxes by claiming gambling losses on their own filings.
Again, I don't know how that's defrauding the lottery.
Within a decade, authorities told the globe that Ali Jafar, a Lebanese immigrant,
who started a prepaid phone card business in the 90s,
had easy access to convenience stores and their owners,
and his sons were the most prolific 10 percentage in Massachusetts.
Ali Jafar confessed to the illicit scheme at their trial,
said their network convenience store allies would call them in
if they had a winning ticket over $600.
Most of the time,
Ali or one of his sons showed up, purchased the ticket for slightly less than the full prize,
and never even learned the real winner's name.
Well, you would need to.
You're the winner.
The convenience store operators got their own kickback,
typically 50 to 100 bucks,
and the defars match the lottery office
to March of the lottery office to collect the prize.
He then claimed the bogus gambling losses
on his tax returns,
which allowed him to avoid paying taxes
despite lottery earnings of around $10 million.
Again, I don't know how that defrauds the lottery.
With the lottery,
Commission's new director of compliance and security on their heels, the Jafar's tried to cover their tracks by enlisting friends to cash the tickets in the lottery office. Yeah, they didn't stop. They just tried to get other people to do it. By that point, though, the IRS was also starting to sniff around. Undercover IRS agents sold winning tickets to a convenience store and only those tickets to end up in the hands of Yosef. And, uh,
so we were good to go.
So they were arrested and they showed,
I guess the one son was an intern to Senator John Kerry.
Not sure what that has to do with anything,
but it says in the story,
oh, you showed promise as an intern for then, Senator John Kerry.
Oh, okay, all right.
So they were both found guilty, Ali and Yosef,
for one count of conspiracy to defraud the IRS
and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering
and one count each of filing a false tax return.
Yeah, that has nothing to do with defrauding the lottery,
because they didn't.
The lottery, it was an actual winning ticket.
They weren't making up the winning tickets.
Mohammed pleaded guilty to a single conspiracy charge,
and subsequently it was sentenced to six months behind bars,
and he was told to pay $964,000 in restitution
and two-year ban on lottery activities.
Okay.
So there you have it.
It was a good scam until, well, it wasn't.
And he's all happy.
He said now, yeah, it feels like a dark cloud is floated away.
And I can finally see a clear path.
So, all right, we'll find a new way to scam the lottery once I get past this jail sentence.

Who died today?
Who died today?
Dusty Francis Street.
Dusty Street.
One of the first female disc jockeys on the West Coast
died at the age of 77.
Rest in peace.
She was most recently the host of Sirius XM Deep Tracks,
but is best known for a time working at K.Raw.
and became a force of punk and new wave music in the 70s and 80s.
We've lost one of our own.
Dusty Street passed away.
That's what they talked about on Sirius XM deep tracks.
The Dusty Street dead at the age of 77.
And it wasn't that, so don't look at me.
It doesn't say that at all.
It just says that she died peacefully, quietly,
surrounded by love in a beautifully serene location in Eugene, Oregon.
and befitting the queen that she was.
So don't look at me like that.
It doesn't say that.
Dusty Street dead at the age of 77.
Then who died today?
The Kansas City Zoo announced that their oldest
Bessai giraffe Mahali has died.
Mahali, at the age of 29,
according to the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium,
the zoo shared that Mahalo had to be euthanized.
Oh, she didn't just die.
We put her down.
But it's because of a worsening, chronic condition,
stemming from old age.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we love you and everything,
but we're going to put you down.
Love you.
Take care.
She was born in 94, found a home at the Kansas City Zoo.
She gave birth to three calves,
has a line of grandchildren at other facilities.
And good for her.
The Supraise, but Hollyford outily being the oldest,
but also the tallest female of their giraffe.
heard measuring over 15 feet.
She will be remembered by those who came to observe her at the zoo for a long-lasting life
and grand stature.
That's what zoo officials said.
I guess that's what you say if you're a zoo official.
And, you know, congratulations.
No one supports zoos more than me in this show.
I guess that's what you say.
But will she be remembered?
Because when people come to the old giraffe exhibit, it's like, hey, look, remember that older
giraffe that was here for a long time? Yeah, she's dead. They had to put her down. Oh, look,
there's another one. I don't think that happens. I could be wrong. Have you checked out the new Blaze
website yet? I mean, we've been talking to you about Big Tech censorship and telling you about
a major step that Blaze Media is taking to declare independence from Big Tech and ensure that we
can keep bringing you the truth no matter what. So go to the Blaze Media website.
Theblaze.com right now you'll see it's been totally overhauled. You'll see news.
articles, opinion, analysis, lifestyle, and tech commentary. But what you will not see are those
obnoxious ads and all those pop-ups that are on almost every other website. Here's why it's such a big
deal. Most people don't realize that by having those ads on our website, Google was able to send
bots to scour any content they deemed unsafe for the advertisers. After finding something they didn't like,
they demand we remove the ads from that article or else have the entire website demonetized.
We dealt with this from time and time again, and here's the worst part after forcing us to
remove ads from problematic articles. Google buried those articles as part of the search
results so that they became impossible to find. And Google was essentially using its ad revenue
as a, you know, to force people like us to toe the line.
And so we're not going to do that anymore.
That's why we're walking away from ads on our website.
Ad free.
It's going to cost a lot of money.
It's worth a lot of money.
That's why we're taking the gamble by investing in more quality content,
including expert analysis and insightful commentary and authentic investigative reporting.
So visit the blaze.com, explore all the new ad-free experience,
and see for yourself.
how we're standing up against suppression and prioritizing independent journalism.
Go to the blaze.com right now.
So they claim that Americans are falling behind on their auto loans at the fastest pace in almost 30 years.
That's per Bloomberg, okay?
Really, really interesting.
Now, they also claim that the IRS believes that Americans failed to pay
$6888 billion in taxes on their 2021 taxes.
Huh.
Amazing.
So that's why we need all those IRS agents to poke around because we're looking for a lot more audits.
We believe that there was $68 billion in Texas not paid.
in 2021. My first answer to that would be do you? Do you? Okay. All right. You know what? If you say so,
I get it. If you say so, so good luck out there. Good luck out there. Not paying your car loans or your
taxes. And I would say my economic indicators are still holding true. I see more cars broken down
on the side of the road. And that's my economic indicator. That means that people are waiting longer
to keep their cars up to date and fixed with their maintenance program.
So they're breaking down around the highway because they don't have the money to do it.
And so they're just driving until it breaks down.
And boy, do I understand that.
So be careful out there, okay?

I was looking at the Time magazine, the best inventions of 2023.
And I was going down the list and I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
I get it, walking with ease.
There's headphones and gaming stuff.
I get it.
Maybe we'll go through it another time.
But one of the things that was one of the best inventions of 2020, which is awesome,
and it's about time.
It's called the extraterrestrial garbage bag.
It's the trans astra fly trap.
Now, I have been all about starting a fly garbage business for the past, I don't know,
10 years. So now, do I get money from NASA? No, of course not. Did I fly for money for NASA? No, I did,
but don't bug me down with facts. So in August, NASA awarded a space startup trans Astra,
$850,000 contract to build and demonstrate a prototype flytrap. A bag that's to pick up space debris,
which could cause obviously dangerous collisions made from the flexible material kept on.
Cap Don. That's the bag.
We'll be shot into orbit and a rocket
on a rocket. Once it
gets additional funding for the launch, yeah.
So this is how it's going to, hopefully going to work.
And then we need funding to launch this
into space. And how many do we get?
I don't know. How much is it going to cost
to fly the old trans Astra
fly trap? Do you just get
one piece of debris?
And then you have to come down. Does it
destroy the piece of debris in
the bag? I want to see all that.
So please let me know. Okay.
contact me, email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, or you can reach out to me on my social
media on X at Jeffie JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on
YouTube Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. And if you want, NASA or Astra, I'm sorry, trans astra flytrap,
you can order a cameo from me at Jeffey JFR. That's not free, but I'm happy to do it for you.
And we can talk, I'm happy to give you a cameo on the extraterrestrial garbage bag, the trans Astra flytrap.
So, reach out.
Tell you what, if I get the contract, I'll take you out to dinner at the home of the most expensive steak, now in the UK.
900 euros for a steak.
And I don't think that's the most.
I think they charge you more for that anyway.
the finest piece of a waggo around one of London's restaurants is flagging cuts of beef for just that price making it the UK's most expensive steak yeah 900 euros I thought I read where it was more than that
get your hands on the exorbitant piece of cow flesh you need to book a table at Argawa a new restaurant which opened this past week and at Mayfair the Japanese restaurant which serves five
choices of steak, ranging from
500 euros to 900 euros
for a 14-ounce serving
is an outpost
of a Tokyo-based
steak specialist.
Oh. The sirloin steak
at Arigawa imported
from Nishua
farm in Japan's
Hyogo prefecture,
which set diners back
760 euros.
Meanwhile, there's a wall of wine
bottles that cost a thousand euros a pop,
as well. So why a steak so expensive? Well, they're made from tajima beef, which is a strain of the
wagu cattle. Tajima beef must undergo meticulous certification by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture,
forestry, and fisheries, meeting strict criteria, taking into account marbling, texture,
and age of the cow, which must be at least 28 months. The beef then aged for three weeks,
while it's shipped from Japan.
The master chefs cook the meat in a specialist
kiln, which can take just three steaks at a time
before it's rested and highly seasoned with salt and pepper.
Yeah, you want to cook it up, but you don't want to eat it right away.
You've got to rest it and let it take a little breather from the cooking.
So there you have it.
You can stop in at the old restaurant.
I have spent nine hundred euros on a piece of Waggou Ste.
or you can just stop at your fast food restaurant and pick up something to eat.
I was looking at the list of the top-rated fast food chains in the United States.
Chick-fil-A covers a lot of ground in the old United States of America.
Pretty incredible.
So CashNet USA, which conducted the study, said they were curious how taste differed around the U.S.
There were 37% of adults eat fast food on any given day per the U.S.
CDC. So to investigate the geographic discrepancies and high octane cravings, Cashnet identified the most
famous fast food chains for burgers, pizza, donuts, chicken, and Mexican food. Then they located corresponding
outlets in each state, as well as 50 of the most populous cities, and analyze the Google Maps
ratings of each of those regions. So when you look at the map, I mean, it's pretty incredible.
Chick-fil-A is in a whole bunch of states, in and out.
uh is in california and nevada and i bet you they're picking up pace uh they're growing in
more and more states as it is and uh are they better than chick filet well not according to this
then you have uh popo murphy's and south dakota and lamans donuts and coffee uh they
i mean they're arizona colorado nebraska then they go to missouri interesting and then
daylight is it daylight yeah daylight donuts and alas i
Alabama and Georgia. Chick-fil-A. Papa Murphy's shows up in North Carolina. A lot of
Chick-fil-A. Crispy Cream shows up in New Jersey. Interesting. A lot of Chick-Foulet. And five guys
shows up in Vermont. The rest is Chick-fil-A pretty incredible. So there you have it. The top
fast food joints. In Hawaii, what do we have in Hawaii? Papa John, or Papa Murphy.
Oh no, that's Alaska.
Hawaii has canes.
Cains in Hawaii?
Okay. All right.
Whatever you say.
Shipley's Donuts in Tennessee, stop it.
They should not be on the list, but they are.
So congratulations to all the
all the fast food restaurants for
making the list of the
best fast food restaurant
in a particular state.
Thanks to
the Cashnet
survey.
puts chick-fil-A in number one in 34 states.
They dominate the U.S.
Chick-fil-A dominates the U.S.
And, of course, they have the bottom-rated fast food chain in every state.
It looks like Papa John's.
Really, Papa John's dominated that list.
That's so strange.
I find that hard to believe that they're the worst.
The lowest rated?
No.
No, thank you.
Popeye's in Montana, Taco Bell at North Dakota.
Burger King in Wyoming
Pizza Hut
in Idaho and Oregon
but Domino's in California
Papa John's
kind of sweeps the middle of the country
Papa John's in Texas
I've been pretty satisfied
with Papa John's been a long time
but I've been satisfied I guess
Kentucky and Tennessee
as wing stop
interesting
and Michigan is wing stop
wow a lot of pizza joints
Domino's and Papa John's
dominating
the worst, the bottom of the fast food chain
in the United States.
So you got to pick it up the pace a little bit.
All right, let's go.
Papa Johns, KFC, wing stop, dominoes.
You'll pick up the pace a little bit.
Let's go.
You know, I saw where a judge won't let Alex Jones
use bankruptcy to avoid sandy hook damages.
A Texas court ruling means that the InfoWars broadcast
must pay most of the $1.4 billion he owes to Sandy Hook families,
regardless of whether his business survives or not.
Okay.
Okay.
Come on now.
You know he doesn't have that money.
There's no way he can pay off.
I don't understand.
There's no possibility, right, that he has $1.4 billion that he's going to pay these families.
I'm so sorry that your children were,
murdered in such a horrific fashion.
But that's not Alex Jones's fault, but we've been
down this road before.
So, and nobody buys it.
Everybody just blames it on Alex
because he said some things that maybe
weren't right. Oh my gosh.
That's just incredible.
And yet, we're going after Alex
and we have
New York Attorney General
Latita, is it Latisha James?
who's been prosecuting Donald Trump,
she sent a tweet out, I think,
well, a couple days ago now,
talking about in 2014,
when bidding to buy the Buffalo bills,
Donald Trump claimed his net worth
was over $8 billion.
In reality, his net worth was no more than $1.4 billion.
Yet another fumble.
And in the tweet she had, on X,
she has a giff of a holder for a field goal
or extra point,
getting the snap into the face and dropping it.
He had another fumble.
I would like to say so.
I don't understand why this is such a big deal.
So?
Okay, so he didn't buy the Buffalo bills,
first of all.
It didn't happen.
And he claimed that he was worth $8 billion.
Okay.
And either the NFL said,
no, Don, you're not.
But, you know, go ahead and say that you are,
but we're just not going to make you part of the ownership group.
Or, you know, whatever.
He said, yeah, I'm going to tell people I'm worth $8 billion.
because I want to be worth $8 billion,
but right now I only have a net worth of $1.4 billion,
but I've got some other buildings that I'm purchasing,
and I'm going to up my worth here in the next couple years.
I don't understand.
So, so what, that he said he was worth something that he wasn't?
I mean, Leticia James has got to, but Donald Trump can't comment,
but she can.
We live in, we live in strange times, don't we?
We do live in strange times.
Something to remember while you're teaching your children.
I learned this yesterday,
and I think it's a pretty good helpful hint.
This guy told me that he paid his 15-year-old to do the dishes,
gave him 10 bucks.
And then when the kid was done with the dishes
and he was on his way to the bathroom,
the dad mugged him and took the $10 back.
As he said, it's my job to teach him life lessons.
Sure, that's a proper life lesson,
but it's certainly, you know, certainly a lesson.
Something, isn't it?
