Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-600 or visit comexonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Stop using eyedrops. They may be linked to a drug-resistant infection. The recommendation, of course, is a precaution. Because 50 patients have tested positive for a drug-resistant bug.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Most patients used EzraCare artificial tears, but it's unclear if the product caused the outbreak. So according to this, people should immediately stop using eyedrops that may be linked to drug-resistant infections.
Starting point is 00:01:11 That's according to the CDC. It's unclear whether the product caused the outbreak, but stop using it just as a precaution. The recommendation, after permanent vision loss,
Starting point is 00:01:26 resulting in an eye infection was reported in one person, one person died from a bloodstream infection. The patients tested positive for a multi-drug-resistant bacterium. As of January 20th, just 10, 11, 12 days ago. Today, if you're listening live, it's the 2nd of February 2023. As of January 20th, 50 people across 11 states, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Washington, had
Starting point is 00:01:59 tested positive for the bacterium called pseudodomas aruginosa. Sudomonas eruginosa. Yeah, that's what I said. The majority of patients with positive samples told the CDC that they had used eye dropped prior to testing. And the most commonly mentioned brand was the EzraCare artificial tears. So they took samples from the patients in hospitals and outpatients clinics between May, of last year and December of last year. We do know that
Starting point is 00:02:35 pseudomonas eruginosa, which can cause some infections in blood, lungs, or wounds is becoming more difficult to treat as its evolving defense mechanisms against antibiotics known as antibiotic resistance. The bacteria usually spreads to people in hospitals or other health care settings when they're exposed to contaminated water or soil
Starting point is 00:02:58 where it typically lives. This particular strain of pseudomonas eruginosa found is resistant to carpapenamans. Carbopenum. Yeah. Which are powerful antibiotics
Starting point is 00:03:13 to kill bacteria that cause diseases like pneumonia, urine infections, severe skin infections. It's also resistant to other antibiotics, which doctors use to, you know, for urine infections and meningitis and bloodstream infections. So good luck.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I would just say, perhaps you stop using eye drops out of an abundance of caution. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I just want stories to, you know, wrap it up. There's a story here about a lady in Chicago, Cook County, who was arrested and charged with, stealing over $1.5 million of food, primarily chicken wings.
Starting point is 00:04:07 This Vera Lydell 66 began working as Director of Food Services for the Harvey School District, I'm sorry, the Harvey School District 152, in July of 2020, which, you know, I mean, that's a pandemic time, right? So between July of 2020 and February of 2022, almost two years, she placed hundreds of unauthorized orders for food items, including 11,000 cases of chicken wings through the school's
Starting point is 00:04:37 district's main supplier, this Gordon food service. The orders were placed separately from the district's legitimate orders. Now according to this, the massive fraud began at the height of the pandemic. Yeah, well, that's when students weren't even coming to school.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Though the school district continued to provide meals for the students, families would just came to pick them up. Isn't that special? Now, believing the orders were genuine, Gordon Food Service was like, we didn't know. She was just ordering it from us.
Starting point is 00:05:08 We figured that's what she needed, so we gave it to them. She used one of the school district's cargo vans to pick up and transport the stolen food. Well, it wasn't stolen at the time. They didn't think it was. And it was never brought to the school or provided to the students.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Okay? I don't know that they can have chicken wings. at the school. I don't think they're supposed to have chickens with bones of them at the school. Heaven forbid that we have that. Anyway, so according to this, a routine mid-year audit, looked, said the food service department had exceeded its annual budget by over 300,000, despite only being halfway through the school year. So she's the only person responsible for placing the food orders, orders, and that's where we said, hey, upon closer review, these individual invoices signed by her,
Starting point is 00:06:01 wherever these massive quantity of chicken wings. Yeah, as it said here, they can't even serve students. I thought I remember because students, they can't be served food that contained bones. Oh, my gosh. We are in a good times. Good times is where we're in.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So she would, she would purchase them. And she's being helped. in Cook County Jail now. And she's due to appear in court in the end of February, February 22nd. She's charged with felony theft and continuing a financial crimes enterprise. Okay. So most of the things that she took were the chicken wings,
Starting point is 00:06:51 although she did take some other products according to this. And they are saying that it's, you know, 1.5. million. I'm interested they were 300,000 over budget. I want to know who she was selling or giving the chicken wings to. How much money she made. And I just want this to wrap up. I want to know why she was doing it. That's all. I want it to wrap up. I want me to wrap up. I want me to tell me, tell me this. I just don't, I just don't want to tell me she got arrested for stealing it. Whatever restaurant was working. with Vera is now going to have to pay full price for those chicken wings, which is, you know, they're not going to be making us much money. Was it someone of the Italian persuasion that she was selling them to, or was it someone, you know, down at the barbecue joint? I don't know. I don't know. But I just want to know what Vera was doing with the money, who she was selling it to, why she was doing it.
Starting point is 00:07:59 That's all. That's all I'm saying. I just want to know. Who, what, where, why, when, how. Just want those questions answered in the story, please. We do know that they found it now. Remember, we talked about the urgent warning that was in place after the K-CM-137 capsule was lost in transit somewhere along the 870-mile journey between the Rio Tinto mine site in northwestern Australia. The Department of Emergency Services and Rio Tinto was notified of the capsule was missing. We talked about that.
Starting point is 00:08:35 We know that health authorities have warned that standing within a meter of the capsule is the equivalent of receiving 10 x-rays in an hour and urge anybody who finds it not to go near it. Well, good luck. I mean, it's smaller than a penny. And they were trying to tell you that you had good risk radiation burns or chronic illness and potentially death. Well, yeah, you'd have to, you know, lay out it or stick it in a body part. for that to happen for this to do something with that capsule you probably aren't going to do. However, they were, they're looking for it.
Starting point is 00:09:07 They sent the crowd out. They were going to go along the road, the 870 mile journey. They claim that it fell, remember we talked about it, that it fell through a hole in the truck where a bolt had been dislodged after a container collapsed in transit due to vibrations. Okay, that's a lot to have happened. So they used specialized equipment to detect radiation, and they started going along the 870-mile route. And yay! It's been found just off the highway.
Starting point is 00:09:40 They literally found the needle in a haystack. The all but impossible has been achieved. Yay! So, you know, everything is okay over there in West, or northwestern Australia. for they found the KCM 137 capsule, so rest easy. And they also found the two Emperor Tamarin monkeys from the Dallas Zoo named Bella and Finn. They were found in a home in the DFW area.
Starting point is 00:10:16 They were in a closet in this house, the empty building where the monkeys were found, I guess was recently broken into, filled with wild animals. It was according to a nearby church that owned the property, they planned to use it as a youth center. So no arrests have been made, no suspects have been identified by police. They did post a picture of a person of interest when these monkeys were taken or when they first appeared missing, but no one has been arrested or talked to yet. But the monkeys have been returned.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Still need to upgrade the security a little bit at Dallas Zoo and Zoos around the world. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Good news for you, King of the Hill lovers. The revival with the original cast is coming to Hulu. King of the Hill has been gone more than 13 years. I mean, it's still been obviously running forever as far as as syndication goes. But Hulu has ordered it and they're up and running.

ABC Entertainment, Hulu, and the Disney-branded television streaming originals said the show has all the perfect ingredients to meet this moment animation at Hulu. So get ready for that. That should be a fun ride. And Dr. Pepper said that it's going to add their new strawberries and cream soda to the permanent lineup, hitting the store shelves later this month, becoming the only strawberry and cream flavored dark soda on the market. So if you enjoy Dr. Pepper and or.

So since every day has to be some news about Tom Brady now, it's apparently some sort of sports rule. So we're talking about Tom Brady retiring yesterday, and today we're talking about how his wife, you know, kind of, she commented. on his post and everybody's taking it like she was slamming him or she was just, you know, being that, uh, that ex-wife that we all know and love. She commented on his retirement post, wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Oh, and she, she also added the prayer hands emoji. That's so special. See, that's that kind of, that's like, just that kind of, uh, we'll take a little slap with you. Yeah, remember, I'm sorry. still out here. Because she didn't have to comment at all. Now, would the story have been, Giselle didn't even comment on his retirement post?
Starting point is 00:17:31 That probably would have been better. I don't know. But, you know, wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life. I'm in my new chapter, too. I just got back from Costa Rica. I'm down in Miami. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:45 I'm just, I got my man with me. So you do whatever you need to do. Tom. So anyway, and the new news today is tomorrow, the 80-for-Bradie movie hits the theaters, probably tonight, sometime tonight as the early releases. The Lily Toblin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field, portraying the quartet of 80-something New England Patriots fans who hit the road to see their team play on the 2017 Super Bowl. And that's based on a true story. It should be fun. be stupid fun, right?
Starting point is 00:18:22 I mean, it's, that's what it's going to be. It's not going to be, you know, Oscar worthy, but you've got these four and I, look, I, I don't necessarily like Jane Fonda and, you know, but they're, you know, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda,
Starting point is 00:18:38 read them, or you know, Sally Field. I mean, those are four, you know, Hollywood icons, uh, like them or not. So they're going to, I mean, they, they could, they have handled the screen themselves, let alone together. Sometimes you get them together and it's too much. But apparently, according to the reviews, the four women save AD for Brady from itself.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So, okay. I mean, that's great. Of course, that's what you're hoping for, right? Because the story is just something about Tom Brady. And it's going to be about NFL and propaganda. But it's going to be these four ladies traveling to see, you know, the Brady experience. at the Super Bowl and it's it's gonna be and it'll be it'll be stupid fun it will be worth a watch on streaming I don't know about seeing it at the theater though oh see it at the theater no thanks
Starting point is 00:19:35 no thanks let's let's wait for that to hit the streaming very soon okay 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. Today, Punksitani Phil was awakened from his burrow on Gobbler's Knob. He then spoke to the president of the Inner Circle in a language known as Groundhogese. The president of the Inner Circle is the only person able to understand groundhogese through his possession of an ancient, acion wood cane.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I don't know that I knew that. See, he has a possession of an ancient cane, and that makes him able to understand groundhog ease. I don't know that I ever knew that. So, Pung Sanity Phil, let the president of the inner circle know whether he saw his shadow or not. And then we get the proclamation from the president of the inner circle
Starting point is 00:20:59 at Gobbler's Knobb in Pungzatani, Pennsylvania. February 2nd, Punksetani Phil, the Sear of Sears, was awakened from his wintry nap at dawn for Gobbler's knob. Phil looked to the skies and then, speaking in groundhoggyz, directed this, President Uncle, to the proper scroll, which reads, I see the morning has brought the finest people. I see their bravery and spirit. The time has come, I can feel it, the excitement.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I can hear it. I see the folks with gray in their hair and I see the kids all young and scrawny. Aw. Their eyes and cheeks aglow from the cold, clean air of sweet Punxatani. Aww. I see that everyone knows their part and I am merely the sage. But above all else, I see a shadow on my stage. Oh no. And so you measure it's six more.
Starting point is 00:22:10 It's six more weeks of winter weather. Oh, no, no. Punksetani, what are you doing? Six more weeks of winter weather. So I guess is that climate change? I don't know. I don't know if it is or not. You know, earlier, we talked about the...
Starting point is 00:22:32 Sudomonas eruginosa. That was causing infections in the blood, lungs or wounds. And it was becoming more difficult to treat. as it's evolving against antibiotics, and they believe that it could be happening in eyedrops. Well, now we know about a rare, deadly fungi infection called Valley Fever. It kills one in a hundred sufferers.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It's spreading across the U.S. Because of climate change. Oh, okay. The infection is caused by a fungus, typically endemic to the southwest. Researchers predict that by 2100 U.S. case numbers will increase by 50%. Now, they believe that it's spreading now due to global warming because hot areas are available for the fungus to grow.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Now, I don't know if you're watching The Last of Us on HBO Max, but that show is about, well, it's about a game that they created back in 2013, but it's also based on a mass fungal infection. based on a mutation in the gene, the cortisps, which sparked a global pandemic, and the infection causes its victims, to transform into hostile, cannibalistic creatures resembling zombies.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And then there's a couple different kinds that people turn into. There's the kind that are the clickers. Those are kind of scary, actually. You don't want to run across the clickers, man. The whole thing is clicker. And it's all connected. We found out that it's all connected. And we found out that it came from the first.
Starting point is 00:24:10 food supply, right? So that's, you know, that's the show, the last of us. I don't know why that's a, is that a spoiler for the last of us? Eh, I don't tell me about anything that happened in the show. That's just what's, you know, based on the show, okay? Now, according to this, Valley Fever is 10 times more deadly than flu. Wow. It is caused by the fungus.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Coxydeoids. which releases spores in the air when soil is disturbed. The spores are then inhaled by people, most commonly, construction workers. Okay, because I guess they're moving the dirt around when they're working in construction. The fungus thrives in warm, dry environment and was dubbed Valley Fever because 97% of the cases are found in Arizona and California. But infections have begun to crop up in other parts of the country, and experts fear that, 2100 it could be endemic in 17 states and of course you know we're finding out more about it now because of the last of a show yes so valley fever fungus grows in soil but it's too small to see
Starting point is 00:25:27 people inhale the spores from dust fungus spores are whipped up into the air infection kills one and a hundred uh can get into the bloodstream and spread to vital organs Uh, that does not sound good. Uh, does not want to say no to that? However, they claim in the story, Valley fever cannot turn the host into a zombie. It can cause serious harm to some sufferers. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:56 That's what they said in The Last of Us 2. Okay? Yeah, that's right. It shouldn't, it shouldn't affect humans. Uh-huh. So, goes through you. respiratory track into your lungs, and then it reproduces causing further disease. Now, they claim most infections are mild and clear up on their own within a few days or weeks
Starting point is 00:26:20 and the infection cannot be passed between people or animals. Again, uh-huh. Right. So you might have a mild form of the infection. Fatigue, cough, fever, aching, muscles, breathlessness. I think I have that. And mimic those of a respiratory virus infection. Yeah, I think I have that.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Other symptoms include night sweats, joint aches, a red rash, usually on legs, but occasionally on chest, arms, and back. I think I have this. But in 10% of cases, it becomes severe and take months to recover from. In cases known as disseminated, coxidioidomycosis. It can spread. through the bloodstream and other parts
Starting point is 00:27:11 of the body, including the brain, skin, and liver, if it infects the membranes and fluid around the brain, it can cause meningitis. So, about 20,000 cases of Valley Fever were reported in 2019.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And that's probably underestimated because most people don't think about it. They just think they're, yeah, I'm just sick. Sure. I've got a fatigue, cough, fever, aching muscles, breathlessness. Yeah, I've just got a little virus. Yeah, got night sweats, joint aches, red rash.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Eh, I'm fine. It's just a little virus. So, you don't want none of that, man. Valley fever. You do not want none of that. So thankfully, Pung Satani Phil saw six more weeks of winter, which means that we have less of a chance to catch Valley fever because it really is
Starting point is 00:28:11 spreads when it's warm out. Floss is not going to matter. We're going to be at war with China before this actually kicks in anyway. According to an Air Force general General Mike Minahan in a memo obtained by NBC News, he is the head of Air Mobility Command. He wrote that his
Starting point is 00:28:30 gut tells him that the U.S. will go to war against China in 2025. Now he claims why that day is because Taiwan's election is in 2024. Our own election is in that year, which will create ripe conditions for the old president
Starting point is 00:28:49 Xi Jinping to attack Taiwan, which I'm surprised he hasn't done already. And of course, you know, our president, at least now anyway, Joseph Robinette Biden has said multiple times that the U.S. military would respond if China invaded Taiwan. I think that's our deal with Taiwan.
Starting point is 00:29:08 We may be, at war in Ukraine before then. And it might not be us. I believe that we'll have boots on the ground under the NATO umbrella in that Russian-Ukraine war. That may be coming sooner than 2025. But that's just me. You know, my gut, I'm not a general for the air mobility command.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I'm just a chewing the fat talk host. My gut tells me that that's going to happen. prior to 2025. But what do I know? This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ,

Starting point is 00:30:27 All right, what is going on in the world of truckers? No one supports truckers more than this program, chewing the fat. I see headlines that the trucking recession has crashed to pandemic lows. I see headlines that talked about high-frequency truckload data suggests that the freight market appears to be stabilizing. Okay, that's good. Then I see trucking demand falls faster than inventories in December, so that makes me nervous again, because we need truckers.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Truckers are the lifeblood of this country. Then I see a story that talks about tens of thousands of truckers are testing positive for marijuana and leaving the industry amid labor shortages. What? Okay, truckers. I want to say this. If you're out on the road, maybe we need to rethink what we're doing. I'd love to talk to some truckers.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Maybe we'll reach out and get you on the show. I'd love to find out if you're getting tested all the time, if it's a company test, if it's a federal test. Because they claim here on this story that in 2022 alone, 40,916 truckers tested positive for inactive THC metabolites. Now, that can stay in a person's system for weeks or months, and it doesn't even reflect active impairment if you consider being stoned on marijuana active impairment, which apparently they do. And that number increased by 32% compared to 2021.
Starting point is 00:32:11 So data from the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and who doesn't love the DOT's FMCS, shows that since 2020 more than 100,000. truckers have tested positive for cannabis. Wow. So marijuana is by far the most common banned substance to come up in the drug screening. I feel like it shouldn't be banned anymore. Can we move on from the whole marijuana is bad thing? And maybe it's just me. Overall, there have been approximately 166,000 people who tested positive for some prohibitive substance in 2020. Okay, well, since, since 2020, but that's not marijuana. All right, that's other drugs as well. So about 91,000 of those 166,000 truckers who did pass drug screening have not enrolled in the
Starting point is 00:33:13 problem. Okay, so they have a process that they have called Return to Work. The truckers have to enter this return to work process. That requires another drug test. and a 91,000, a lot of people are saying no to that process. You know what? No, I'm not going to go through the return to work process. That seems to be a little problematic to me.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I would love to hear what the deal is with that. The Transportation Department's reliance on this outdated technology and upon these discriminatory policies is out of step with reality. Yeah, see, I think that they're. testing for it, but it certainly does not reflect active impairment, and that is where we're at, right? If you have active impairment, that's an issue. If we test you and you're driving stoned, okay, well, I guess, you know, we could make a, we could come to some sort of agreement with that. But if we're losing tens of thousands of truckers because they tested positive for marijuana
Starting point is 00:34:23 and now they can't get back on the job, so they just declined, say, no, I'm not going to work anymore. I'm not going to be a trucker. Does that mean that they're not going to be a trucker under the federal trucker job? I need to talk to a trucker. You need to email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can message me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I want to know what the deal is with the DOT. federal motor carrier safety administrations plan and how they test for cannabis. And is it just random? Is it the company that picks? Is it done by the feds? And is it a random test? Or do you have to do something else? And then they say, hey, we have to test you.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Because that seems to me like that's just you could work. We hire you and you have to be drug-free. So, I mean, I have to have some. some sort of drug testing policy to work for a particular company. But if you're on your own, as a subcontractor, I mean, does that matter?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Is that what they're talking about? Maybe these 91,000 people who don't come back through the return to work program, then become independent contractors, and so they can still, you know, get high. I feel like that's a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:35:54 When we're losing, and tens, if not hundreds of thousands of truckers. Because truckers are the lifeblood of this country. And we cannot lose truckers. So I told you we were going to get more from Pamela Anderson because she's out plugging her new Netflix documentary, Pamela, a love story. And also plugging her new memoir, Love Pamela. And so she's got all these stories.
Starting point is 00:36:22 remember we talked about the different stories that she's talking about getting flashed by Tim Allen and she's talking about who is the other Diggleberry oh yeah, Sylvester Stallone how Sylvester said that he would put her up and give her a car, right, and they both have denied it.
Starting point is 00:36:43 And then we have a story about Jack Nicholson, how she talks about, she shared a story about Jack Nicholson, how she walked in on Jack having a threesome at the Playboy Mansion. Now, do I believe that Jack Nicholson was engaging in a threesome at the Playboy Mansion? You bet. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I don't think so. She said that she caught Nicholson working his magic on two beautiful women in a mansion bathroom. They were kissing up against a wall, sliding all over each other. I walked by to use the mirror. Bending over the sink, he didn't just leave to fix my lip gloss. Trying not to look, but I couldn't help myself. Caught his eye in the reflection. I guess that got him to the finish line because he made a funny noise, smiled and said,
Starting point is 00:37:39 Thanks, dear. So true? Ah, you know, sure. Let's go ahead and go in. I know she posed naked again for Ronan Farrow on her interview with him and some of those pictures Pamela I know honey okay I love you and it's okay and we've the whole world has seen you naked multiple times so you can just keep taking off your clothes that's fine I know you told Jimmy Kimmel that you wanted to get married again you had you know so much more to life and Jimmy's trying to make some joke about Mike Lindell and being a
Starting point is 00:38:19 dofus, but I know you want to get married again, and we've all seen you naked, it's okay. But just go easy on the cuts, okay? Because you are definitely three cuts to clown face. And I know you want to look pretty. I get it. We all want you to look pretty, okay? But the three cuts to clown face is actually happening. Okay, so stop.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I'm just telling you. Someone needs to tell you, stop. You've made enough money. You're hawking your documentary. You're hawking your book. You do a couple of other nude shots here and there. You do a couple of interviews. And you've made enough money.
Starting point is 00:38:59 You don't have to keep trying to redo you. Because you know the deal. Three cuts to clownface. And you're already past the three cuts. So that leaves. Say it with me now, Pam. Cloudface. Speaking of clown faces,
Starting point is 00:39:19 Ozzy Osbourne I know well Ozzy's you know definitely you know had some work but the wife is definitely on her way no question she makes no bones about it either but I see where Ozzy is they claim announcing his retirement from touring amid health issues
Starting point is 00:39:37 yeah he's still going to I'm sure they're going to find a way for him to do some shows I mean hello it's called the internet but he issued a big letter this is the hardest thing I've ever had to share with my loyal fans. My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. He had a major accident where he damaged his spine. He said he was humbled by the way. You've all patiently held on to your tickets all this time. But hey, I'm disappointing. My fans really Fs me up, more than
Starting point is 00:40:05 you'll ever know. I want to thank my family, my band, my crew, my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty and support and for giving me the life that I never, ever dreamed I would have. I love you all. I'm not physically capable of doing my upcoming European UK tour dates. I couldn't deal with the travel required. So they're looking to try to find.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He's done stem cell treatments, three operations, physical therapy, groundbreaking cybernecks, Hal treatment, and his body is physically weak. I mean, he's been through so much. over the years, I'm surprised the guy is still walking around, and he barely is now. So anyway, if you have tickets to see Ozzy in the UK and any other countries in Europe,
Starting point is 00:40:58 go ahead and cash him in because he ain't coming, okay? I see where, speaking to Ozzy, I see where we have the new possible inductions, the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. so we have the spinners that's a soul group it's not rock and roll oh okay
