Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. What I thought was common knowledge, apparently, is not. Subway was hit with a lawsuit, claiming the restaurant chain materially overstates the amount of meat in visual ads for sandwiches. Well, yeah, that's what they do.
Starting point is 00:00:54 They've already ruled on, we just talked not long ago, about how a judge ruled that Burger King, I think, and Wendy's. It's okay for their ads because they were sued because the burgers were not looking like they were advertised. And the judge is like, no reasonable person expects them to look exactly like the ads. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:01:17 So the advertisements apparently allege, I'm sorry, the lawsuit alleges of the subway advertisements that it just falsely advertises how much meat the steak and cheese sandwich has on it. Ha! Yeah, they want to make it look good. So it was filed in the District Court of Eastern District of New York
Starting point is 00:01:41 on behalf of a woman who bought a steak and cheese sandwich from a subway location in New York and asked the court for certification as a class action. Yeah, I want in on it. I'll sign in on it. No problem. She said that she paid $7.61. for a steak and cheese sandwich.
Starting point is 00:01:58 That must have been a six-incher. At a local subway, not realizing Subway's ads showed a sandwich containing at least 200% more meat. So she's accused the chain of engaging in similar tactics for many other sandwiches, like the cheesy garlic steak.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Other subway customers has found the amount of meat they received in steak and cheese sandwich to be grossly misleased. compared to what is depicted in the ads. Yeah. So they're in trouble now. They're not.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I'm going to venture to say that the ruling is going to be, yeah, those are for ads, and no reasonable person expects it to look like that. You may say to yourself at some point, man, that doesn't look like the ad, does it? And then you eat it, and then you eat it. So that's the way it goes. But good luck. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:02:52 If you need signatures on your class action, I mean, Subway has 37,000 stores. Ah, that's a lot. So, I mean, they can afford to, they can afford to up their sandwich game just a little bit more. Am I right? Of course I am.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Well, we may as well continue with food. We started out with Subway. We'll just continue on. I saw a story yesterday, and I do not remember the story. Okay. And this story is from 2018.
Starting point is 00:03:29 So maybe I've completely lost my mind because, I mean, six years ago, how old were you? Six years ago. I wasn't even born yet in 2018. So this story talks about how KFC pulled off the greatest comeback in food history. So apparently KFC ran out of chicken because of a delivery mistake. Now, this happened in the United Kingdom. And there were 700 branches, over 700, so like 750 branches were shut down. and customers were pissed
Starting point is 00:04:00 and the KFC responded that was awesome so in February of 2018 they had just switched delivery contracts from BidVest to DHS and usually these changes are routine knowing bats annihilated but this time the change would trigger
Starting point is 00:04:18 one of the biggest PR disasters in food history within days chaos had erupted across Britain it was chaos because KFC didn't have their chicken 750 out of 900 KFC stores had to close their doors. 26,000 team members left stranded, and the unthinkable had happened. The chicken chain had run out of chicken,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and the British public was not amused. Some people called the police. And so many people ended up calling the police that the UK police had posted on Twitter, hey, don't contact us anymore about the KFC crisis, okay? It's not a police matter. All right. That was just a start.
Starting point is 00:04:59 The newspapers were brutal, and according to public sentiment, their brand impression score dropped from negative 2 to negative 12. Wow. They were at negative 2 to begin with? Weird. All right. So then, so the company was in crisis, and I still, I'm reading this, and I'm trying to remember it, and I don't. So the KFC's marketing team made a decision that, you know, they believe now revolutionized the crisis management system.
Starting point is 00:05:29 So instead of hiding, which you can't, they owned it and they owned it all. They bought a full page ad and ads all across Britain. And the ad was a giant KFC bucket, but with the letters
Starting point is 00:05:45 inverted to FCK underneath the kernel. And it said, so the top of the ad was FCK, the bucket, we're sorry. And it told the story of what happened and please check with, you know, check with your local store as soon as we, you know, we're getting our chicken back. That is awesome. And people were like, okay, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:10 it's been a hell of a week. And a chicken restaurant without any chicken, it's not ideal. Huge apologies to our customers, especially those who traveled out of their way to find that we were closed. Endless thanks to our KFC team members and our franchise partners for working tirelessly to improve the situation. It's been a hell of a week. But we're making progress. And every day more and more fresh chicken is being delivered to our restaurants. Thank you for bearing with us. And it gives a link for
Starting point is 00:06:36 you to go and check on your local restaurant. That is awesome. And I do not remember the FCK the chicken bucket. And so, I mean, that's, what a great story. And that's, and you have to own it. You can't try to back out of something like that. You just
Starting point is 00:06:52 can't. You have to own it. And they did. And it worked. And it worked because people just want to know about it. Dominoes did the same thing. Dominoes did the same thing when they, you know, all the, all the polling they did was that their pizzas were crappy, but they were, people were happy with the crappiness because of the 30 minutes or its free campaign. But then they decided to lean into, hey, we know we make crappy pizzas, we want to make better pizzas. And they had a big ad campaign about that. And they sold, and it worked. And it worked. and it worked.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And I had, I told you that long ago. I had a Domino's thin crust a couple weeks ago. It was pretty darn good. That was the first time. That was the first time I had a Domino's pizza in a long time. That was pretty good. Now, the one thing that we have to look forward to,
Starting point is 00:07:43 also is they're looking to change the U.S. dietary guidelines, you know, our dietary pyramid. And so a draft recommendation to the U.S. and Department of Health and Human Services, scientists have suggested that new guidelines should encourage Americans to limit their red meat intake
Starting point is 00:08:05 in favor of a plant-forward diet. This would move beans, peas, and lentils from the vegetable category to the protein category in front of meat, poultry, and eggs. Of course, they want to do this because it will address the cardiovascular risk associated with eating red meat. Is there cardiovascular risk to eating red meat? Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:30 So the National Cattleman's Beef Association, and I love the NCBA, they're a little pissed. And they're saying, I want you pumped the brakes a little bit on your new guidelines, okay? Remember, they had the, when the last recommendations in 77,
Starting point is 00:08:50 they wanted Americans to eat less red meat and more poultry. and that put a crinch into the old red meat department. But now they want us to have lentils and peas instead of a steak. I don't care if it goes on your pyramid or not. That is not happening. And again, this is just a draft, so it's probably not going to happen. But it wouldn't surprise me that they put peas, beans, and lentils above.
Starting point is 00:09:24 a stake. Sorry about it. Not doing it. As long as we're talking about things I don't remember. In 1967, the whiskey brand Canadian club, of which I used to be a fan in my drinking days, launched a height of case advertising campaign. And they hid 25 cases of their whiskey in exotic locations around the world. Now, according to this particular headline, it says there are.
Starting point is 00:09:56 still nine cases hidden. There's eight, actually. I was just, I decided to find out how many cases were actually left if that was true, according to this headline that I saw. And that means that there's eight. So it was called the Heide case campaign,
Starting point is 00:10:14 the Hiram and Walker's Sons Liquor Cup, when he sent adventurous booze hounds on a treasure hunt. In the 60s, 70s, 80s, 25 cases of Canadian Club hidden around the world, free for the taking for whoever discovered them. And such a campaign wouldn't fly today. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Oh, what's wrong? What happens if an underage person finds them? Okay. But it was a marketing triumph for them. So they first started hiding cases in 67. Some were stashed in big cities and others were hidden out of the way in Death Valley, atop Mount Kilimanjaro, under Angel Falls in the Venezuelan jungle. And then they took out splashy ads in magazines,
Starting point is 00:10:56 revealing the general location of the loot, but only vague clues to the exact location. And so it kept going until 1981 when it finally ended. So nine of the 25 hidden cases still remained undiscovered. In 2010, it was briefly revived as a survivor-style game in which one more cache was discovered, this time in the Kingdom of Tonga. So there are still eight left to be found.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So there's still eight unaccounted for. Six of the locations can be deduced from the old ads, the Yukon territory, Loch Ness, Tanzania, Robinson Caruso Island, the North Pole, and one at Lake Placid, New York. So now they're just saying, you know, it's not likely they'll ever be found. And one reporter called the company that owns Canadian Club now, this beam sentory, and asked, how about the whereabouts of that stash?
Starting point is 00:12:03 And the person, the spokesperson for the company went, Great question. Which means they have no idea. And the whole thing is over with, So you still got a shot. If you, it's still out there, you can look for the clues out there and you might get a free case of 50, 60-year-old Canadian club. Probably be really, really good.

Starting point is 00:18:08 they don't have they try to they're saying that it's the same as fat bear week as bad beauty contest and they have different bats and they tell you what kind of bad it is and who took the picture and it goes through well on their Instagram page they have their bat beauty contest in a separate highlight
Starting point is 00:18:27 and I was just scrolling through that because they don't have a bracket I mean fat bear week gives you a bracket of the bears that you're voting on, you're going to vote on, as they go through the brackets. And they're not doing that. They're just making you go through the Instagram highlight. So as I'm going through the Instagram highlight, I guess we're on the semifinals today. Because the finals is tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:18:49 We're going to find out the winner. So the Bat Beauty Contest Semifinals is against Lesat and Robert Battenson. Lesztat and Robert Battenson. Yeah, I know. Swift did not win. Battler Swift got kicked out by Lest Dad. Holy cow. So you still have an opportunity to go
Starting point is 00:19:11 to the Instagram page or the Facebook page of the Bureau of Land Management and vote for your bat beauty. You could do that and tell us who you think is the most beautiful bat of 2024.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Although I would say I'm all about all the pictures and giving all the props to the photographers and showing me the picture of the bat and letting me know what kind of bad it is and letting me know what they feast on and where they live and you know we have I've been
Starting point is 00:19:44 I've been around multiple places in my life that have had bat houses set up so that at dusk out they come just the swarm of bats are out flying around my folks house lived right next to a big one a big huge bat house and that the county had put up
Starting point is 00:20:04 And man, when it became dusk, they would just... I mean, it was often... Most of the time, they flew over my parents' house, so it was not really a great idea to be out in the yard at the time. But, I mean, it was... All the basketball, you can quote me on that. And so, but that's interesting to me. That's fine, I get it.
Starting point is 00:20:25 But why no bracket? I don't understand. Just follow the fat bear week plan. They have a plan that worked. People are excited about it. it. You see the pictures of the bears. Then they put them in a bracket and you vote. It's very
Starting point is 00:20:40 simple. Why are you trying to make a new way to make eggs? Don't do it. Just follow the plan. It's still a government agency. I just don't understand. It's not that difficult. But maybe it is. So good luck to
Starting point is 00:20:56 all the bats and hopefully who's in the championship again. Well, it's the semifinals. It's Lestat and Robert Battenson. So good luck to, I'm guessing. Lestat made a good run. I think Lestat was the one who beat Battler Swift.
Starting point is 00:21:15 So maybe Lestat's the one. But I'm voting on Robert Pattinson. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So tomorrow and Friday, Thursday and Friday, which would be the 31st of October and then the 1st of November. The big Hindu festival of lights takes place.
Starting point is 00:21:46 The Diwali celebration is taking place. Now, Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the great state of Pennsylvania, recently became the first U.S. state to recognize DeWali as a holiday. So the people in Pennsylvania get it off? Is that what happens?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Let's see. I mean, I got to see if the, the Governor's Advisory Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islanders Affairs signed the Senate Bill 402 into law. Oh, that's interesting. So they officially recognized Duwale as a state holiday in Pennsylvania. What does that mean that they don't have to go to work? That the state workers are not going to be open for the Festival of Lights in Pennsylvania?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Yes, that's exactly what that means. Need your driver's license? Need your anything to do with the DMV? No. not on this Thursday and Friday. It's a four-day weekend for Pennsylvania. I mean, they're celebrating it, Diwali, of course. So, I mean, good for them.
Starting point is 00:22:48 So although the law designates the 15th day of the Hindu Luna Solar Month of Kartik as Diwali Day, schools, government offices, and businesses are not required to close on this day. Oh. But the recognition encourages all Pennsylvania, to celebrate the rich culture diversity of the state. So this is the first official celebration under the new law
Starting point is 00:23:16 occurring from October 29th to November 3rd with the main festival on October 31st. Wow. So, I mean, all this week, they're celebrating in Pennsylvania. They're not even that much in India's only a couple of days. What do we do it? So Diwali, you know what? Everyone needs to celebrate Duwali.
Starting point is 00:23:35 As long as you're not shutting down the government agencies, you can put up to a little Diwali tree in the corner of the building if you want. I got no problem with that. Do you decorate is there a thing? How do you celebrate Diwali? Yeah, that's right. It's the festival of lights is what it is. I saw they have laser shows in different cities in India.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So if you want to have your little Dowali tree there in Pennsylvania with the laser lights on it or put a candle up. you know, burn your candle as you're giving out driver's licenses and somebody says, man, that candle does not smell good. It's my Diwali celebration, okay? So you're not allowed to say anything. You just go ahead.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Everyone should do that and celebrate the Hindu festival of lights. And by doing so, you just, oh, look, I've got lights on in the room. So I'm celebrating the festival of lights. And speaking of holidays, I see where Neiman Marcus has removed the word Christmas from its 98-year-old annual gift catalog.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Good! Nobody likes that damn Christmas mentioned anyway. So apparently Neiman Marcus decided, yeah, it's the first time. We're going to call our glossy catalog long known for his extravagant gifts. We're going to just call it the holiday book instead of the Christmas book.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I hope it affects their sales, to be honest with you. I mean, why would you stop it? I know we're trying to be all-inclusive and everything. Stop it. It's Christmas, okay? It's Christmas. And I know you're trying to make your worldwide sales. And I realize that, you know, probably someone from, I don't know, Saudi Arabia is
Starting point is 00:25:27 buying your $975,000 electric Cadillac or, you know, his, the his and her Egyptian mummy cases probably aren't selling here for Christmas and probably selling in another country that doesn't celebrate Christmas. So tough. It's your Christmas catalog, but not this year.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Now, and I remember they had a building in this complex for a long time. I don't think they're still here. They are here in Dallas, but I think the building here in this complex and the Mercury complex is, I don't think that's open anymore. Could be, though.
Starting point is 00:26:05 So anyway, I haven't been over on that side of the complex in quite some time. So it's possible that they're still there, but I don't think they are. And because they had restructuring and layoffs, and I think when they did their restructuring, that that Mercury complex building closed. Anyway, a 117-year-old retailer, institutional history, Neiman Marcus, and their name and Marcus catalog, that's the one. And the Christmas catalog, the Christmas book is the one.
Starting point is 00:26:39 But no, no longer. It's now the holiday book. And as long as we're talking about holidays, I see where, you know, the Hallmark Channel, I mean, who knows the Hallmark Channel for anything but holidays? No one. So they have got a new age discrimination lawsuit against Hallmark, alleging that the executive VP of programming, Lisa Hamilton Daily, love her,
Starting point is 00:27:06 expressed a desire to avoid casting old people for the channel. Now, you can want that and you can think that, but you're not supposed to say that out loud. You're not supposed to put that in an email. You're not supposed to text your people and saying, oh, no, we need to avoid casting old people. That's not supposed to happen. So the suit claims that she specifically labeled Holly Robinson, Pete, and Lacey Chabbert, aged 60 and 42, as old a talent to be replaced.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Penny Perry, the 79-year-old casting director who filed the lawsuit, claims she was unjustly fired after nine years with the company. Hallmark responded by affirming that both Pete and Shabbard are valued at the channel, denying the allegations and saying they won't discuss the ongoing litigation publicly. Uh-huh. So, uh, we'll see. Now,
Starting point is 00:28:06 79 as for the, uh, for the booking agent, right? That's what she did for the company, Penny Perry. Yeah, the casting. I'm sorry, the booking director,
Starting point is 00:28:16 the casting director. Uh, she's 79. Penny. Uh, I love you and everything, but, uh, you know, 79. Move aside.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Let some younger people in. Okay. Now, listen, I, If you're still doing good and still fine, whatever, it's fine. I mean, 79 is the new 78. Seriously, the closer that you get to the age of what people call old, it's not old anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:49 That's for sure. You can quote me on that. The closer you get to the age that people are calling old, it doesn't make it in your head. as being old, man. You're thinking, no, that's 79, that's not that old.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Eh. But she's just the casting director. All right, she is not the actors. The actors were 60 and 42. And our girl, what's her face? Lisa Hamilton-Daley said,
Starting point is 00:29:20 we need to avoid casting them because we don't need old on the old Hallmark channel. Now, I will say, I think you do. I think you do. I mean, Hallmark channels the stories. We can all joke about the stories and the Christmas stories,
Starting point is 00:29:37 but the Christmas stories happen because the younger people are still living out their lives because of the older people. So the older people have to be there and involved in the show. They're family members. You can't just say, yeah, all my family's dead. Although maybe Lisa Hamilton Daily said, yeah, make it so. the family members are dead. We just have young people in the shows. So we'll see what happens because we're not commenting. It's ongoing litigation.

I know close encounters. They mentioned you on Frankenstein, Tutsi, Terrigar, just, you know, fantastic. She had
Starting point is 00:31:23 quite the IMDB, but then she got sick, right? And sadly, she got sick and has now passed away. She had over 140 credits, movie and television credits, and she was diagnosed
Starting point is 00:31:40 with multiple sclerosis. and she revealed that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2002, so 22 years ago. And she was really struggled with that. And apparently she died of the disease surrounded by family and friends. That's what was her publicist said. And so rest in peace, Terry Gar, dead at the age of 79. Then we have radio host Rob Dempsey.

Starting point is 00:32:31 that he had been diagnosed with stage three bladder cancer. I don't wish that on anyone. Seriously, I do not wish that on anyone. And then he died a week later. He was 57, which means he just kept working, working as long as he could until it was just too much. So he went into cardiac arrest and hospitalized for the emergency surgery. And very sad.
Starting point is 00:32:58 So Rob Dempsey, Christian radio host, dead at the age of 57. then did we ever find we have a death at the high seas so we have uh there was a there was a cruise ship in the UK that got caught in a storm and a bunch of people got injured one person died of their injuries
Starting point is 00:33:21 and the cruise ship company uh you know we're sorry and we're sorry yeah we didn't I loved uh the one part of the story the ship is fine uh you know I The ship is fine. So don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I know. We're sad about the people and all, but the ship is fine. So, really, yeah, yeah, we're sad. I mean, it's been investigating and everything. We were out trying to, the spirit of the discovery,
Starting point is 00:33:51 we were caught in challenging weather conditions. I started to turn that thing around back to get back to the U-Ks and then, you know, because the ship remains safe at all times. The ship remains. safe at all times. It was fine. Don't you worry about the 100 passengers that were
Starting point is 00:34:09 injured and ate seriously and one ended up dying. But the ship was fine. And then we had the lady who fell overboard, the 66-year-old lady that fell overboard. They were on that Taylor Swift cruise.
Starting point is 00:34:31 So they have postponed yeah we don't know where she is we stop looking for because the Royal Bahamas Defense Force and the Coast Guard were working together to try to find this lady and then they both were like yeah we're done we don't know where
Starting point is 00:34:48 she is if she's dead we don't know we're just suspending it all so I guess I guess if you fall overboard do you ever you have to fight to be issued dead, right? I mean, the family can still think that this
Starting point is 00:35:05 66-year-old woman is still alive. They haven't named her, but I'm guessing I'm guessing if you had a 66-year-old family member on that cruise ship and you haven't heard from her, that's her. So you've probably got a pretty good idea of who that is.
Starting point is 00:35:21 And so they've just suspended the search for her. And guess what? The ship was fine in this case, too. And those of you that have United healthcare, the United Health Group last week
Starting point is 00:35:38 confirmed, yeah, you know that ransomware attack that we had back in February? I don't know, we might have mentioned it or not, but guess what? You know what? Personal data of 100 million people were part of that ransomware attack. I know. Man, we probably should have said something, but we just found out actually.
Starting point is 00:35:57 They just got, you know, social security numbers, billing, and some health information that they took. Look, United Health Group is confirming the ransomware attack and yeah, it's the largest healthcare data breach on the list. You don't know. The hacker group,
Starting point is 00:36:16 Black Cat, also known as Elf of, ALP-HV, Elf, hive, elfiv, claimed responsibility for the February attack on a change health care that caused widespread disruptions for health care providers, processing bills, claims, payroll, and prescriptions for that week.

So I'm reading this story in Australia, from Australia, and the headline is, husband goes on a rampage after finding wife having sex with his brother.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Now, if you just stop the headline there, yeah, I understand it. However, the brother was in a car, and the mother was in the front seat of the car while this was happening. I know it doesn't sound real, but according to this, it is. So he pled guilty to the violent attack after catching the duo romping in the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:38:55 The bizarre ordeal unfolded. He became suspicious and tracked down his spouse after she failed to answer her phone multiple times. Yeah. He found his wife of six years with whom he also shares four kit in the back of this vehicle with his brother in a parking lot. close to his siblings apartment building
Starting point is 00:39:18 and his own mother was sitting in the driver's seat when the pair were caught in the raunchy act. So he was a little upset. He got a little upset. I know. I know. Go figure.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So he started punching his brother in the chest and body before repeatedly striking his wife in the head. Then he grabbed a shovel from his car started beating the pair with it as he shouted he was going to kill them all. right they don't have guns in Australia otherwise they'd be all be gone
Starting point is 00:39:50 no question about that yes that's see saved lives saved lives because of no guns in Australia so at one point he smashed the shovel so hard it broke in two
Starting point is 00:40:03 his mom tried to intervene get out of here you're sitting in the front with this what do you shut up and she was pushed into a nearby trash can he didn't beat mom though he should have been pissed at her too
Starting point is 00:40:17 she's letting it happen and sitting in the front seat playing with herself listening to gospel music or whatever the hell she's doing and the other son is doing the sister no the daughter-in-law of the other son
Starting point is 00:40:30 holy cow and so he was sentenced no there was none maybe they thought there was some music playing but I don't think there was I don't think there was wow I mean They're just asking to be caught.
Starting point is 00:40:43 So the judge acknowledged that the saga must have been upsetting. Yeah. And described it as a breach of trust between family members. Yeah. But sorry about it. You pled guilty to a slew of assault charges as well as possessing. Oh, this is what got him. He had some pot on him.
Starting point is 00:41:04 He had some cannabis on him. He did possess a firearm. They got him for this. He fled guilty. He didn't. The guy saved their. And the guy saved their lives. He said he was going to kill him, but he wanted to beat him to death.
Starting point is 00:41:16 The bullet would be too fast. So he possessed firearm and ammunition. He was sentenced to three years in prison. I would guess that would be worth it. Three years in prison for beating the crap out of your brother and your wife, pushing your mom into a trash can. And because your brother was having sex with your wife in the back seat of a car where your mom sat in the front. That's an issue.
Starting point is 00:41:44 That's almost almost not real, but it's made for TV movie for sure. Absolutely. As the brother tries to sneak around behind the other brother's back, to take care of a little business with the sister-in-law. And then
Starting point is 00:42:01 mom, just look forward. Just look forward, Mom, because we're a little busy back here, okay? And mom is like, hurry up, I've got Wednesday church. So, I mean, just, oh, it's incredible. I am amazed that the man didn't have had a firearm and didn't shoot it, though. So he must have had a firearm and ammunition in the car, not together.
Starting point is 00:42:23 You know what I mean? It's because it specifically breaks them up, possessing a firearm and ammunition. So they had to have had, they had to have been separated, you know, it wasn't a loaded gun. And then maybe he smoked, maybe he had smoked a little of the cannabis that he had on him and just wanted to, you know, I just got to catch a little buzz and then I'm going to go bust my brother with my wife sitting in the back seat
Starting point is 00:42:52 where my mom is sitting in the front seat. Wow, just, holy cow, was three years worth it? I think so. I think three years is worth it. All right, let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day. Irene again sent in another joke of the day.
Starting point is 00:43:07 She got cocky. She gave us one yesterday, and she thought, hey, here you go, I'm going to try it again. And so I said, all right, well, we'll do it. Because I read this out loud at home when it first came in. And the looks I got made me think, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. So what is green, and I re-sent it to chewing the fat at the blazer.com,
