Starting point is 00:00:38 Oscar Meyer, the Oscar Meyer WeinerMobile, is getting a name change. Now, when I first saw the headline mentioning Oscar Myers' WeinerMobile, I thought, are they canceling the WeinerMobile? Are they shutting that service down? But no, they're not shutting it down. They're rebranding the hot dog. vehicle. Wait, what? Yes. They announced that the hot dog-shaped vehicles are being rebranded in honor of the company's new 100% beef Franks. Okay, so now it's going to be
Starting point is 00:01:19 called the Frankmobiles. The fleet will hit the highways this summer and will have painted lettering that referenced the vehicle's new name and all beef Frank recipe. The photo you see will also are going to have decals that say keep it Oscar and please do not lick. So funny. Now the original WienerMobile debuted in 1936 at the General Body Assembly Plan in Chicago. The rebrand comes nearly 87 years after. the Wiener Mobiles historic debut.
Starting point is 00:02:03 So they've converted its sixth vehicle Wiener Mobile fleet into Frankmobiles. I don't know. I don't know. They can do what they want. That's fine. And apparently they're going to the people who work on the Wiener Mobile, the drivers. We talk about job openings for that particular job every year or every couple of years. They were formerly called Hot Doggers.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And now they're going to be known as Frank Ferders. They're also renaming its weiner whistles to Frank whistles. I have a weeder whistle around here somewhere. You could quote me on that. I love the Oscar Meyer WienerMobile. So, I mean, it's, come on now, it's a beloved, iconic vehicle on the road. And whenever you see it, you have to take a picture of it, you have to see it, you have to stop where it's at, it's a must. So the 100% beef franks, which Oscar Meyer is saying, hey, hey, hey, we prioritize taste over everything.
Starting point is 00:03:20 So no matter what kind of hot dog you enjoy this summer, if it's Oscar Meyer, you know it will be 100% tasty and 100%. percent make you smile. Okay. So they will host a Franks for Franks promotion this summer, where Frankfurters will give coupons for free packs of Oscar Meyer 100% beef Franks to Frankmobile customers who are named Frank. So any iteration of Frank, you're going to get a free, a coupon for a free package of us. Oscar Meyer 100% beef Franks. Must everything change? Must everything change?
Starting point is 00:04:06 I guess so. I guess so. This just, I don't know, kind of hits home. My gosh, what are we doing? It's the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. That's what it is. And you know what? You can call it the all beef Frank Frank Mobile all you want.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And you can call the hot doggers, Frankfurters, all you want. you want. But to me, it will always be the Wiener Mobile. I mean, really, I should have put this in. Who died today? Who died today? The Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. Dead at the age of 87 years of age. Reborn as the Frank Mobile. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. This is kind of a weird story. I'm not real sure what to make of this story. In Columbia, on the 1st of May, 23, just 18 days from today earlier than today, if you're listening live, today is the 18th of May, 2023. Thank you, by the way, for listening. On May 1st, in
Starting point is 00:05:27 Columbia, a plane crashed. There were adults and children on the plane. Now, they've been searching for, you know, for this wreck. They've found the wreckage. And they've also claimed that they found three adult bodies, but they have not found the children that were on the plane, four children. They have now found them. Okay. Now, the mother and the four children were from the, the Hutoto ethnic group. I think that's how you pronounce it. H-U-I-T-O-T-O-H-O-T-O-H-T-O-O-Hotoo
Starting point is 00:06:05 ethnic group. And so they've shown some pictures out there in the jungle of some stuff that they found around the crash and from the crash that make them to believe that the children I guess may still be alive, possibly.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I find the, just as a side note, I'm reading the story about this and they have pictures. of the mother and the children and the missing children all have their faces blurred out. I mean, okay, so I get that we're supposed to blur out
Starting point is 00:06:38 the children's faces, but how are we supposed to know them if we see them? Like I was to say, I'm wandering through the jungle of Columbia and I run across a couple of kids. I don't know if they're the children from the plane crash,
Starting point is 00:06:49 because their face doesn't look like it's blurred out. Anyway, the... head of Columbia, the president, he announced that the four children had been miraculously rescued from the plane crash in the Amazon. Okay, so the armed forces were like, well, no, we really didn't find any survivors. We found the bodies of the adults, but we really haven't found. the kids so we don't know what he's talking about so now he's being accused of uh you know giving the country
Starting point is 00:07:37 false hope because he said they it's a joy for the country uh okay but the military said no we we haven't found them so people are all wound up at the president of columbia for you know giving them false hope. I don't know what good comes of it. I don't know why it's such a big deal to say that they found the missing children. It's sad. The whole thing is really sad. I doubt very much they survived this plane crash.
Starting point is 00:08:10 The adults certainly didn't survive. And if they survived, are they wandering around the Amazon? Sure, it's possible, I guess, that four kids are wandering around the Amazon after a plane crash. but you would you would maybe figure that you would the kids would maybe stay close to the crash i don't know i don't know i just don't understand
Starting point is 00:08:34 why the president of colombia would say hey we found them yeah it's a remote location out there and uh man we found the dead bodies of the adult but the children yay we found them it's a joy for the country and then the military is like Yeah, no, we've had about 100 soldiers and dogs out here, and we haven't found anyone. So, sorry. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I mean, there's a 13-year-old, a 9-year-old, a 4-year-old, and an 11-month-year-old. It's really sad. But I don't think they survived. And I don't understand why the president would say, we found him. just doesn't make any sense to me. Now, I admit, there's a lot of things that don't make a lot of sense to me. Like the Megan Markle Harry, Prince Harry story. If you follow me on YouTube, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher,

So anyway, yesterday, a spokesman for Prince Harry and Megan Markle. said they were in a near catastrophic car chase with paparazzi.
Starting point is 00:10:57 So she had this big event in New York that she brought Harry and her mother to. It was the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards. I think that she won the award actually for the Ms. Foundation
Starting point is 00:11:16 Women of Vision Awards, or at least received an award from that. them. So anyway, they were leaving. And I saw the footage of them arriving at this event. And then I saw the footage of them leaving. And, you know, everybody was taking pictures. And of course, you know, the paparazzi, Harry and Megan in New York was a, you know, it was a big deal. Now, they claim that on their ride away from this event, they were pursued. In fact, the team said it was a relentless pursuit lasting over two hours resulting in multiple near collisions involving other drivers.
Starting point is 00:11:58 The NYPD confirmed that police helped the couple's security team amid their challenging travel. But as soon as I heard this, I'm like, no. I'm sorry, no, I don't believe it. There's no way there was a two-hour chase, high-speed chase, in New York City, in Manhattan. No. Sorry. That just, no, I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And so, again, the police said that the authorities didn't call it a chase. The taxi driver, who briefly helped the family, said there were no crashes, no injuries, or arrests. Huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And of course, they went to a police precinct for a while until it was safe for them to leave. Well, they used the words until the coast was clear. Okay. There's no way this is true. I'm sorry, no. And the taxi driver said, no, no, it was no crashes, no, everything was fine. It was New York. What are we even doing here?
Starting point is 00:13:14 And I know Harry, you know, blames the paparazzi for his mom. death. No question. Her and her boyfriend, Dodie Elfayad, and the car's driver, Henry Paul, in the tunnel in Paris. We all remember that shot and all of that. But I'm sorry, and Megan, you are, you are no Diana. Okay, sorry. Now, I realized that Harry got a lot of press the last couple weeks concerning him going to the coronation, and you did not. know there was footage of some guy that went there that they were saying was
Starting point is 00:13:54 Megan in disguise really funny the guy was I don't know he wrote a song or something for the king I don't remember what his deal was easy enough to find out but they were saying the internet sleuths were saying that it was Megan in disguise really funny really funny and he had to come out and say I wasn't Megan that's me oh okay all right You got us. Sorry about joking around. Anyway, I know that Harry got a lot of press. And so Megan and Harry need to get back in the news again.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And so, you know, we want to have that strained relationship with the paparazzi and the media. And we think that we're in this catastrophic car chase. No one believes that. Sorry. I know that they just arrested another stalker outside their house in California. California, I'm sorry, the Montecito mansion. The security staff placed the person under arrest. So I guess the stalker was wandering around and he'd been on or close to the property a couple other times.
Starting point is 00:15:01 So they did a citizen's arrest and waited for the police to arrive. Okay. I mean, I believe they've had problems with stalkers at their property before. No question. but that's at their property in Montecito, which, by the way, is a pretty protected area and you have security. So when you're watching, like in New York,
Starting point is 00:15:27 they were getting in their vehicle with security. So it's just the strangest thing. I don't know why they would do it and doesn't make any sense to me, but there's no way that it happened the way they say it happened. Just didn't. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Don't believe it. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I mean, we've talked about it. We've said that it wasn't going to happen, and then we said it probably could happen. Well, we know now it is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:16:09 The Tony Awards, June 11th, will be televised as originally planned, but will be unscripted. Because of the writers strike. Now, I'm all for the writers. 100%. I want the writers to get everything they deserve. 100%. But come on now.
Starting point is 00:16:30 We're making such a big deal about the Tony's and the award show being unscripted. I know that they said Lynn Manuel Miranda had been tapped to write an opener, which I'm sure would have been, you know, tremendous. But he wanted to do that
Starting point is 00:16:46 so that he was in solidarity with the WG. members. Got it. I got no problem. And they've been off since the second. I mean, holy cow, it's time to make a deal. Let's make this thing happen. But the Tony Awards are going to move forward with an unscripted televised broadcast. So I guess Arianna DeBose is still
Starting point is 00:17:05 expected to helm the ceremony in some capacity with, you know, musical numbers. So I don't know that Arianna will be able to come out and say, hello, welcome to the Tony Awards. Tonight, we're going to show you performances from some of the top shows on Broadway and beyond.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Let's get started. Welcome to all our guests and you, the viewing audience. Let's get started. Here's a number from. Now we have the nominations for Best Dance Move with the Right Foot. And the nominees are. And the winner is. There, I did it for you, Ariana.
Starting point is 00:17:51 It's going to be difficult to pull that off, man, with the unscript. I mean, come on. According to the drudge report, and I've read the drudge report in a long time, but I guess he dropped a siren blaring scoop yesterday announcing the eminent shake-up at Fox News, reporting that Sean Hannity will take over the 8 p.m. slot. That's where Tucker. was. I don't know that, I mean, okay, Sean, I mean, good for you. No problem. I hope you do. Hannity's new gig, as well as report both Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld would be heading to prime time. Waters, I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:36 he hosts the 7 p.m. show, right? And then Gutfield hosts the late night show at 11. Those are top-rated shows. And then the five, which that slot was made, you know, a, you know, a hit slot by, I don't know, a guy by the name of Glenn Beck at 5 p.m. And they've just stayed alive after Glenn left. He made that time slot a hit. Anyway, I see this also. I didn't realize this. Sean Hannity broke the record for the longest running cable news prime time host.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Wow. Eclipsing Larry King at 25 years, six months, and 15 days. this happened last year. I mean, congratulations to Sean. That's incredible. So I don't know what's going to happen. I think I, you know, is Sean able to, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:30 fill the shoes of Tucker? I don't know. The lineup probably stands pretty steady. I'm not sure what happens to, I mean, they talk about, you know, they had rotated hosts with Kilimede and Lawrence Jones and Kylie McAnney and Will Kane. I will say this.
Starting point is 00:19:47 A Will Kane is the new, I mean, Will's going to be doing the morning show. We're not putting him on primetime. All right. He needs to be the face of the morning show. And that just needs to happen like right now. All right. I know that Mr. Deucey would be against that.
Starting point is 00:20:04 But Will just needs to be in charge of the morning show. Let's just make that happen right now. And Lawrence and Brian and Kaylee, they can, you know, fight over whatever slots they have. You know, I like them all. Now, I will say this, pretty amazingly, MSNBC, MSNBC, beat Fox News in prime time this past Monday. Oh, wow. Total viewers and in the key 2554 age demo, which is, you know, of course, obviously, you know, this favored by advertisers. Rachel Maddow beat Hannity at 9 p.m.
Starting point is 00:20:47 that just doesn't happen yeah it's good that they got rid of Tucker isn't it yeah I don't know I mean holy cow if Rachel is beating Hannity at 9 I think that's moving him to 8 is going to help I don't know Rupert give me a call
Starting point is 00:21:09 email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com you know maybe you and I could sit down and figure out a lineup that will work for you Oh, and congratulations to the strippers in California who are poised to be unionized. So dancers at L.A.'s Star Garden Topless Dive Bar are set to be unionized strippers in the United States. An official union vote count was scheduled for today, I believe, after the club's management agreed to stop opposing it, leaving the dancers. They're going to join the 51,000.
Starting point is 00:21:46 members, actors, equity association. All right. It's been 15 months since they've been trying to unionize. And the dancers, of course, you know, they had their, their cause. They kept wanting to bring attention to their cause, obviously. And they had, you know, twerking class heroes, dress as your club's OSHA violation. That's funny. So, congratulations to the strippers.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I don't know if that just means the LA place or if all strippers now can join the union. But if you can, I would, you know, jump in to the aquiters. It's not the aquiters. The aquifers. It's the actors equity association. That's the union, okay? Wow. He's get it right.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And in some sad, unsurprising news, the coffee shop named the Annamuchamp. named the anarchist. It's a coffee shop that opened in March of last year. It billed itself as an anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe, shop, and radical community space on stolen land. That's a big billing space for a coffee shop. Anyway, it's got to close down.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah, it's going to close down. A big surprise that the anti-cableness, capitalist cafe suffered from, you know, capitalist headaches, like not bringing in enough cash. Amazing, amazing that the anarchist, the place that build itself as an anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe, shop, and radical community space on stolen land didn't get enough business to stay open. But I mean, that's kind of a good thing, really. So yesterday, Montana governor. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

For years, the app owned by Beijing-based bite dance. I know they've been on the hot seat and over national security concerns.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And they have over a billion users. So a lot of people are not too concerned over the, over the, national security concern. But, you know, absolutely they should be. And it's not a billion here in America. Hello, we don't even have a billion people. We have about 150 million on TikTok. So some local lawmakers, Congress, the White House,
Starting point is 00:25:14 they're all fearing that TikTok could hand over user data to the Chinese government. Yeah, don't worry about the people in office doing that. We have a congressman still in office that was sleeping with a, Chinese spy but don't worry about that let's just worry about the app shall we so they're worried that they're going to you know manipulate content uh-huh now a bite dance has never provided any data uh to the chinese government that's what they said uh-huh so we have 25 states and all federal agencies have banned tic-tok from government-issued devices okay so montana is just taking that a little step farther.
Starting point is 00:25:59 So starting January 1st, the state's new law would ban TikTok in all capacities, meaning Montana would prohibit app stores like Google and Apple from making TikTok available to download in the state. The app and the app stores could face
Starting point is 00:26:14 a fine of $10,000 a day if they violate the law. Individual users wouldn't face any fines, but the state said it plans to put hurdles in place to make it more difficult to download TikTok. Boy, that's going to be that's going to be tough to to make it enforce that
Starting point is 00:26:31 good luck now Montana says the new law there's one way the ban could be avoided if bite dance sells the app to another country that the U.S. does not consider as a foreign adversary something that's unlikely to happen although I'll see what
Starting point is 00:26:48 TikTok said here in this statement it infringes on our first amendment rights of the people of Montana and it will work to defend the rights of users. The ACLU also said that the law violates free speech. Google and Apple have not commented.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Meanwhile, experts predict the law will be challenged in court. You think? So we'll see what happens. That's a big step. Although, I will say this. Just as a side note. Now, remember we talked about
Starting point is 00:27:17 TikTok and what happens with the information. I remember Jeff Brown from the Brownstone Researcher of the Bleeding Edge, he had done a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure we talked about it here on chewing, and he had a researcher reverse engineer TikTok to determine what information was being sent back to Bite Dance.
Starting point is 00:27:47 The app collects everything about the user's phone. It documents the phone's hardware specs and every app that's been downloaded. It pings the phone's GPS location roughly every 30 seconds. That means, I mean, it knows where you are at all times. It knows which Wi-Fi networks its users connect to. It documents the address of the router as well as every other device connected to each network. That's the thing that's kind of concerning to me. Nothing else is, though.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I mean, if they're, they know the Wi-Fi. network, they know the router, the address of the router, as well as every other device connected to that network. Wow. Amazing. And so, also the software code, they've written the code to potentially download software to Android phones and then run that software without the user's knowledge or consent. Huh. I mean, there's no way that would happen, right? right so we'll see I know that I mean a TikTok has been a whirlwind for sure in the U.S. and I don't have it on my phone and I fought to keep it off of phones in my domain which I lost that battle by the way I lost that battle a while ago and I have been caught you know I've been
Starting point is 00:29:24 showing stuff on TikTok. I love the ASMR stuff. MSR, ASMR, ASMR. And it's easy to get, it's easy to get hooked, man. And you just start scrolling. And you're in. Once you're in it, you are in it.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I don't think that's doom scrolling, but it certainly could be. I think it's more of boredom scrolling. And I'm just, let's keep watching. But it's not on my phone. And I will say this. Montana. Okay. So good for Montana, you know, for doing this.
Starting point is 00:30:01 But they have, what, 15 people there? So is that going to affect TikTok if the people in Montana don't use TikTok? I mean, okay, well, okay, not 15 people. I know. Yellowstone made a big deal about people moving to Montana. So 20 people in Montana have TikTok. I mean, I think they'll be. okay and I don't know how you stop it I mean sure they could you know they could absolutely make it
Starting point is 00:30:31 possible for anybody that has an IP address or in Montana to not be able to download the TikTok TikTok app sure and you know maybe that's what they'll end up doing but I don't I don't I don't I don't foresee that happening I just don't but good luck good luck the Montana and believe me I don't want information going back to China that we have anyway but I feel like and this is the wrong way to feel this is the wrong way to feel I want to be clear about that it's the wrong way to feel I feel bad about feeling this way they've already got it I mean Google Facebook Twitter Apple I've already got it so So what's the point?
Starting point is 00:31:33 I don't know if it was my cousin. I think it was my cousin who said it first and then my grandfather adopted it at his line as his line because my cousin said it to him. But who cares and what's the use? I mean, sure, we found out that household debt Is that a record high? You know, $17 trillion with persistent credit card debt and rising delinquency rates?
Starting point is 00:32:02 Sure. Yeah, that probably is a problem. Delinquency is rising. You know, the debt is, let's see, when debt is 90 plus days past due, delinquency is seriously rising. The Fed's report showed that 4.57% of credit card debt transitioned to serious delinquency. last quarter up from 3.4% in quarter one. And credit card holders aged 18 to 29,
Starting point is 00:32:31 8.3% of balances were in serious delinquency. Wow. Auto loan delinquencies are higher than they were before the pandemic for those under 40. The average monthly car payment is $729. That is an amazing. number. Mortgage debt increased by $127 million in the first quarter, reaching a 12.04 trillion
Starting point is 00:33:03 balance, even though mortgage orientations were way down. I didn't have anything to do with the Fed rate increase. Student debt saw a slight decrease. How could they even be using that? I mean, those payments have all been on pause. Nobody's even supposed to be paying them. And the debt balances are $3 trillion higher than the pre-pandemic. But the Fed's trying to say, well, there's a bright spot. Many households are still more financially stable than they were before, thanks to the mortgage refy boom in 2020 and 2021 when the rates were their lowest. Is it a bright spot, though?
Starting point is 00:33:43 So I go back to who cares and what's the use. dollars 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 wow so dallas fort worth international airport d f w international airport one of the world's biggest and busiest airports i mean the airport itself is bigger than the island of manhattan just amazing it's huge You could taxi into about three or four different counties, I believe, once you land at DFW. Anyway, it's for sure one of the busiest. I think the second busiest in the world, maybe the country for sure.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And it just announced plans for a new terminal. Yay! If the construction being over at the DFW airport was something that made you happy, don't worry because it's going to be back under construction again. They just, I mean, it was under construction. construction forever and it was a nightmare to get around and so now you kind of know your way around if you've been there a few times you kind of know your way in and out and how to get around it's not the easiest of airports to get around but you can do it you know after you've done it once or twice you kind of get the idea of how dfW was laid out uh one of the things that really pisses me off about dfW though is there's no way to get on the property without paying Okay, so a lot of airports you're able to just drive in and drop people off at a particular terminal and drive out. There you go.
Starting point is 00:35:43 We're not staying. We're just in and out. And the people that we're dropping off are using your product and they're paying to use your product. But I'm not. That is not possible at DFW. You get charged. In fact, I'm afraid sometimes to drive too close to the airport on the highway that passes by thinking they're just going to charge me to drive by.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Amazing. So they just announced that they're going to build a brand new terminal. Terminal F. Terminal F. Amazing. And if that wasn't enough, if building a whole new terminal wasn't enough, you know what we need to do is we need to throw a terminal
Starting point is 00:36:24 that's already built into construction and remodel that thing. Right. Let's do that with Terminal C, shall we? Right. So let's build a new one for 1.3. $1.6 billion, and I guarantee it's going to be more than $1.6 billion. We're going to charge more for people to come on to the airport property to pay for Terminal F. And then the airport is going to start construction on the new terminal C,
Starting point is 00:36:51 because they want to do a major reimagining of Terminal C. Oh, that's so special. Now, that's the main terminal for American Airlines, which is, I mean, DFW Airport is their hub. And so they just signed a new deal with American Airlines for 10 years, another 10-year deal that American will use DFW International for their hub. So part of the project for the reimagining, that's $2.72 billion. They're going to gut and redo the area in phases so American Airlines could continue. continue operations there.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, we don't want to stop operations. We don't want to have them move maybe to another terminal because it sounds like they're darn near almost just knocking C down and building a new one. But no, they're reimagining terminal C. Yay. Look, it's been in its original state for 50 years. Has it, though?
Starting point is 00:37:52 Has it? If you say so. If you say so. So now with the new terminal, you'll have more space. Oh, it's great. And we plan to finish by 2020. Uh-huh. And we're just going to tear down 400 columns to improve walkability.
Starting point is 00:38:09 We're going to add glass, tall glass windows. Oh, that's good. Because we want that to look like the new wing, the new terminal F that we're building. And we should be done, ah, you know, in 10 years or so. So it'll be beautiful. So if you're busy traveling the world or the U.S., odds are you're going to come through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. And just know it's going to be fun for the next few years as we add a new terminal F and we reimagine Terminal C.
Starting point is 00:38:44 As long as we're reimagining things, the World Meteorological Organization, and I love the World Meteorological Organization, I love them. They estimate that there's a 66% chance the world will experience warm. of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, at least temporarily, by 2027. The number, that number, has been the breaking point number for keeping climate change in check, that 1.5 degrees Celsius. So the group, the World Meteorological Organization, did I say I love them? Yes, okay, I love them. The group expects that the extra heat from the natural El Nino weather phenomenon, coupled with human-caused warming, will likely make the next five years the hottest on record.
Starting point is 00:39:44 So there is a 66% chance that you may experience warming, temporarily, likely to happen possibly. This is unbelievable. So just know that El Nino weather phenomenon, coupled with human-caused warming, will likely, we're not guaranteeing it here at the World Meteorological Source. I can't even say it.
Starting point is 00:40:20 The World Meteorological Organization, we're not guaranteeing it, but we're just saying that it's likely to make the next five years the hottest on record. So there is a chance that the temps could, may likely warmed. So
Starting point is 00:40:36 be prepared. All right, I'll leave you with the joke of the day. All right, the joke of the day here on Chewing the Fat. He started slowly, oh, I can't, I can't do this without my music, okay? I need to I gotta have some
Starting point is 00:40:52 love music. Oh, yeah. He started slowly on doing his belt from under the table. She bit her lip. Was this really happening here? Effing, she thought. It started on doing her own belt. He motioned to the waiter.
