Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. How does this happen in today's world? A female middle school teacher in West Virginia, Cassandra Sizzler, crazy-looking white woman, was arrested and taken into custody.
Starting point is 00:00:52 She's been charged with four counts of child abuse in connection with incidents that took place in her classroom. She was arrested for abusing one male student on more than one occasion. She allegedly used duct tape to cover his mouth, bind his hands, and wrap tape around his head during class. That's not funny. That's not funny at all. This is serious charges and serious incident that took place in her classroom. Central Preston Middle School in Kingswood, West Virginia, which is beautiful this time of year.
Starting point is 00:01:35 But in today's world, how do you think that duct taping a kid, his hands, his mouth, and his head, and you're going to get away with the, come here. Bobby, I am not telling you again, when we're in the middle of class, come here. Get this duct tape out right now. Wrap around your stupid mouth. I can't even undo. That's hard. It's a roll a duct tape I have my hands.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Well, this isn't duct tape. This is guerrilla tape. She was using duct tape. She was using gorilla tape. Oh, my gosh. You can't. I think that's not going to do with me. I mean, how does that happen?
Starting point is 00:02:16 How? How does that happen in today's world? You have anything to say, Billy? I just want to say, okay? No. All right, everybody raise your hand. Except for you, Billy. You know, you're the kid.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I duct taped your arms down. I just really want to go home and say, I mean, I guess if you're a parent, if your kid comes home and says, you know, the teacher duct taped my head and my hands and my mouth shut today in class. Do you believe your kid? I mean, I have to.
Starting point is 00:02:51 The first time around, no. The second day, the first day you go, okay, Billy, shut up. The second day, Billy comes home and says it again. He goes, Billy, come on now. The teacher's not duct taping you. It's not happening. And then the third day, you're like, okay, now you've got to investigate.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And you go, stop in to, hey, Ms. Sizzler, what's happening? Yeah, this is Billy's dad. I was just wondering, he keeps coming home and telling me that he's been duct taped to the chair with his hand bound and his duct tape over his mouth and his head. Is that happening? Yes, your son is a menace to class. I mean, in today's world, how does that even happen? Come on now.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Holy cow. It's amazing times we live in. It is amazing times we live in. Welcome to chewing the fat. This is a second. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. And to get that tape off.
Starting point is 00:03:57 More recalls. Federal health officials report a lot of line of frozen burrito products sold in Kansas are being recalled for a food-borne disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Don Miguel Foods of Texas is recalling more than 10,000 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat carne asada burrito products. The burritos may contain Listeria monocytogens. The FSIS said the burritos were made on September 27, 2023. They come in a 7 ounce individual wax paper packages,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and they have a date code on them. And they have an establishment number on them. And they were shipped to retail store locations across the country. So not just Kansas, across the country. So Don Miguel Foods discovered the issue during laboratory testing. Oh, that's good. So they're taking care of it themselves. the FSIS said no reports of injury or illness have been made yet
Starting point is 00:05:01 because most people went, wow, a burrito did some damage to me and then they moved down with their life. But no, you shouldn't have done that. The burrito should not have caused that to happen with you. So just remember that eating food contaminated with Listeria monocinogens can lead to Listerosis, nobody wants that, which can cause serious infection, can cause harm to older adults, those with weak immune systems along with pregnant women newborns
Starting point is 00:05:29 again you don't want any of that and cause fever muscle aches headache stiff neck confusion loss of balance convulsions along with gastrointestinal issues yeah that was the burrito it wasn't just a rig okay all right that's regular that's nothing wrong it's not Listerosis
Starting point is 00:05:47 with the mono psilidogens now oh right enough seriously it's not funny this is a thing, the recall from the burritos. So if you purchase them, you can return them or you can throw them
Starting point is 00:06:05 away. I would say if you think you actually purchase these, just go back into the store and say, hey, I purchased some Don Miguel burritos and I got a real issue for a couple days and I need to have my money back or some new burritos would be nice.
Starting point is 00:06:23 What are they going to do? Say no. The way. We have another plane with poo on the plane. That's going to be a movie. And I'm not talking about Winnie the poo on a plane. I'm talking about human poo on a plane. That's going to poo on a plane. There was doo-do feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad.
Starting point is 00:06:45 So, an easy jet flight from the Spanish island, Tenorife. I love the Spanish Island, Tenorife, man. You get that this time. a year? Beautiful. To London, Gatwick, had been delayed for several hours, so it's already been delayed. And so then they ran into more problems, so they had to switch to another plane. And there was a smaller plane, and customers were already a little wound up from having to go to the smaller plane. But they got on, according to one passenger who reported the issue. And it took more than an hour to get onto the smaller plane. The bags offloaded, and the aircraft
Starting point is 00:07:27 kept being overweight. So apparently there were some fat people on the plane and then we were moving to a smaller plane so it's like, okay, if either the fat people go or the luggage goes, either one. And so I guess someone thought, hey, I guess
Starting point is 00:07:44 I need to lose some weight on this plane. So I'll go into the bathroom and I will poo in the bathroom. And it was just on the floor. And apparently then the unpleasant smell followed
Starting point is 00:08:00 the people on the plane believe that it was an accident they said they saw two passengers visit the front of the bathroom so they got a pretty good idea of who it was and it was just an uncomfortable experience and it was an unsanitary state
Starting point is 00:08:20 so they had to get external cleaners out from the airport to clean it so that's when they decided Okay, we're done. We're not, the flight's over. Have a nice day. Take care. So they made everybody get off again,
Starting point is 00:08:34 and they sent everybody to a hotel, which was, I don't know, 45 minutes away from the airport. And then they scheduled another flight the next day. And I guess apparently the next day's flight was fine. Now, EasyJet said that, yeah, hey, flights were delayed initially due to safety reasons. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Yeah, we moved them to a smaller plate, and then somebody decided to poo in the bathroom on a plane? There was due to a feces thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling in a stunk so bad. It did say that. There was an unpleasant odor. I don't know if I'm happy or sad that something like this never happened to me while I was flying. I haven't flown in a long time.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I've had issues with the airlines. No question about that. but never over. I mean, we've had the diaper. They thought it was a bomb, right? Nobody looked, nobody went, I think that's just a diaper. Nobody looked in the bathroom and said,
Starting point is 00:09:36 I think that's, I think it's just a diaper. I mean, they rerouted the flight back to Panama. And now we have someone using the bathroom on an airplane and not using the toilet. I mean, come on now. Come on. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I couldn't. It was an accident. No, I don't believe that. I don't. Okay, then we go from, you know, poo on a plane to a grubhub driver who went to pick up food at this restaurant, this Mexican restaurant. And the owner of the restaurant came outside, and the driver who had already picked up the food was feeding himself with the food that was to be delivered to the customer. and he had his mouth, the food was falling out into the container and the restaurant called the person
Starting point is 00:10:35 who had ordered the food and said, yeah, you might even not want to eat that. It was an issue. So I guess it arrived. He delivered the food. It wasn't like he didn't deliver some of it anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:47 He did deliver some of the food after he got done eating it. And it was already repackaged like no one ate it. So if you're getting food from, you know, delivery service and it doesn't look like it's the full order, that's maybe because the driver is eaten. So good luck.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I hope that works out for you. I would be so angry. But on the other hand, if I'm a delivery driver, it'd be tough to be tough not to. Right? If somebody orders a fresh order of fries, and maybe a cheeseburger. Let me eat.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Right. And you just, you know, you take yourself a couple of fries. I mean, that's not going to hurt anybody, right? Right. All right, let's go to the break room. And it's just a couple of fries. Let me alone.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And I will say the picture that they have of the guy out in front of the restaurant shoveling down the food. He looks like he has done it before. He wasn't starving. He was not starving. This was extra eating on his part. So just if a person of a grubhub delivery driver shows up at your house
Starting point is 00:12:06 and he looks like, I don't know, me, I would be concerned that he's eating some of your food. Again, that's just a helpful hint from chewing the fat. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I mean, if the drink is right here, I might as well just take a sit. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio.

Starting point is 00:13:06 now, that's new users. So I don't know, I don't know really what that means. I haven't seen the full report. You know, Elon's trying to make some money. It's time for me. I think I'm going to have to start charging Elon. All right, I'm going to have to charge. I'm sorry, but he's charging me.

Sharia, we'll get to the new car, but you're going to want to drive that thing, right? So you might as well pay for the tires, too. And that's what's happening.
Starting point is 00:13:37 So you'd be able to look at Twitter, I guess. I'm sorry, X, I guess. I mean, that's what we decided, right? It's X, you're posting, I don't know, you're posting on X, but you're still tweeting at, you know, and whatever. But I don't know what's going to happen with X,
Starting point is 00:13:54 but we give them, and I just we, the media in general shows in general give X millions of dollars of advertising free of charge that
Starting point is 00:14:08 I don't know how you quantify it but we have to because we're going to have to start billing Elon and so you're going to charge us or you know what we're going to charge you as well just but hey follow me at Jeffie JFR on X okay and be sure
Starting point is 00:14:27 to email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You know, we talked yesterday about how, how many times, was it yesterday or the day before, how many times people shower in a week? And, you know, most importantly, when you shower, you want to be clean.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Whether it's once a week, twice a week, three times a week, once a day, twice a day, how many ever times you shower? Whatever you like, you do you, boo, but make sure you're clean, okay? And by being clean, I mean use goat soap, okay? You can use that store-bought soap, and it may get you kind of clean,
Starting point is 00:15:09 but it's going to dry out your skin, then you're going to have to go back to the store and keep buying more products, more lotions. Guess what? That stuff is made from the same company. It's almost as if they're doing it on purpose, isn't it? It is almost as if they're doing it on purpose. But soap doesn't make your skin dry,
Starting point is 00:15:27 and doesn't leave you feeling like, oh, I just need more when it's made the right way. And that is with goat's milk. That's where my man, Quinn Pittman, has discovered goat soap is numeral uno. He first started learning about soap. He was making it the right way ever since.
Starting point is 00:15:46 He was using it at nine years old. He realized, hey, I can make soap with this. And it realized how good it was.

Starting point is 00:16:27 The one thing I haven't tried that in Quinn's goat soap extravaganza is the laundry soap.

Starting point is 00:17:05 Yesterday, it was some excerpts from her upcoming memoir was released, The Woman and Me, revealing that the pop star had an abortion during her relationship with Justin Timberlake. Wow. In the book, Spears said if the decision had been left only to her, She never would have done it. Spears and Timberlake began dating in 99 when she was 17 and he was 18. They split in 2002. Spears added the pregnancy was a surprise, but not a tragedy.
Starting point is 00:17:42 She said that Timberlake definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy and that he was so sure he didn't want to be a father. Now Timberlake has not commented on this portion of her book, The Woman in Meals. But that's a pretty big reveal for Britt. Because she has her kids and she's still upset about having an abortion that long ago. Wow. Pretty incredible. You know, we talked when they first launched it because everybody and everything has to have a podcast now. The CIA had their new podcast, The Langley Files. And I guess during the podcast, and I apologize, I haven't listened to every episode of The Langley Files.
Starting point is 00:18:25 they admitted to backing the Iranian coup in 1953. Huh. Huh. It's another reason for people to look upon the United States with a frown from Iran. And it's just interesting that that would be admitted to now from the Langley files. Huh. That's all. That's just an interesting little thing.
Starting point is 00:18:55 To me. That's all. Hey, if you want to play games, though, okay, so, all right, so Minecraft is the number one game in the world. 300 million, I think, was the number that they had games sold around the world. Xbox and Activision or Activision and PlayStation or whatever the deal was there, that's all done.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's a done deal now. They're one big happy family. Everybody made their billions and were one big happy family. well now we find out not only does Netflix want to raise your prices once the actor's strike is over not only do they want to have the Netflix houses brick and mortar places for you to go

Starting point is 00:20:50 all right oh it's mining adventure It's mining adventure, you dumb little. Okay. So be ready for that. Congratulations to Netflix. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for... The crossing guard?
Starting point is 00:21:37 At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Who died today? Who died today? Robert Owens. Robert Owens of North Carolina dead at the age of 34.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Now, I know. No, don't look at me like that. We don't know how he died, but we don't know that either. we just know that he was found and along the side of a driveway at a house in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:22:17 and they thought he was part of a Halloween display I know how that you think to yourself oh my gosh how could that happen but he's just lying there he was found of an abandoned home so abandoned homes don't have a Halloween decorations So they said that they discovered the body had been ignored
Starting point is 00:22:40 Because there was a guy that showed up and mowed the lawn And he just mowed around him I mean that's what you do as a yard guy Whatever That's a Halloween decoration I'm mowing the lawn I'm moving on I mean at least like he's the San Francisco guy Mowed over the dead bodies
Starting point is 00:22:56 Here this guy at least goes around them So they I don't know how they could do that sister to my man. I don't know how they could do that. Well, he's laying there. Just demote around him. It was really easy. And I don't know how you could assume it was a Halloween decoration. That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I do have a question on that. So anyway, he had very few clothes on. He was eventually found by, you know, construction worker. I guess somebody said, hey, isn't that a body? And so he had cuts and scrapes on his arms like defensive wounds. It's a complete mystery how he. ended up at the abandoned home on shoe road. Okay. My grandmother's lived off a shoe road for 40 plus years, but he's never been to this house. Never known of this house to go far off the road. He's
Starting point is 00:23:53 never been back here. He's never been known to come here. That's the sister speaking. Okay. That's the sister speaking. Now, just let me say this to you. Did he have, did Robert, I know you love him and he's your brother. But did Robert have a drug problem? Well, he's been known. He's been known to take drugs. Oh! Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I bet he's taking more than that. He's firing up more than a ball. Okay. When you hear the lighter, that's for that crack bite. I'm not saying Robert did that. I'm just, I'm guessing. I'm guessing.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Now, police have now. Police have not ruled his death of homicide. Huh. The investigation is ongoing. Now they're going to have an autopsy, obviously, and they'll have more information. So it's possible that he wasn't murdered at all. And he just OD'd in the front yard of this house,
Starting point is 00:24:51 and it took a while for people to realize that it was an actual dead body. I will say it does seem to turn the yard guy, probably, you know, Jose or Hoseby, mowing the lawn. I don't want to judge. But they just, I'm not, they're not saying anything. They got work to do. I got to get this yard done. And you know what? It looks like a Halloween decoration.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I'm mowing around it. I'm moving on with my life, man. So don't bog me down. I got yards to get to. I guarantee you that's what's happening. So Robert Owens, the 34 of North Carolina, rest in peace. You know, I was thinking about the lady in San Francisco. They got run over by the John Deer. and come to think of it is a little bit different than my man Robert Owens in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:25:37 because Robert, we don't know this though now that I come to think of it. Robert may have been dead when the long guy mowed around him. He may not have been. The long guys went around him and said, cute Halloween direction and moved on.
Starting point is 00:25:53 But the lady in San Francisco, she was homeless, sleeping in the tall grass and wasn't dead until the John Deereux. year rolled over. I still can't get over that the parents went back to see where she was run over by the lawnmower.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I don't have the story in front of me, but I remember the parents going back to the park where she was run over by the lawn. It's got to be horrific, and I'm sorry that it happened, okay? I am. But as they're in the park, they're like, isn't that her hand? They found parts of her still in the
Starting point is 00:26:32 Still in the park. Horrible. Horrible. It's not funny. I'm not laughing at that at all. Horrific. Horific. And I'm very,
Starting point is 00:26:42 very sad. Okay. All right. Can we stop with this? Now we're getting news that prosecutors in New Mexico are looking to refile involuntary manslaughter charges
Starting point is 00:26:56 against Alec Baldwin. It does bring back the gunshots, though. are the rules of the show. When talking about this case, the rust shooting. Very sad. You know, human died. Other human
Starting point is 00:27:12 got shot. Helena Hutchins died and, you know, what's his face? You know, Joe Sousa got shot. So it's very sad. However, they dropped the charges against Alec.
Starting point is 00:27:28 In April's over. It's done. The other people have worked out deals. I think we still have some ongoing trials of some of the other dangleberries but they're not going to look, you're not going to put Alec in jail. No wait, that's, no, Alec.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Okay, so the rules are, the rules are, if I say the gun cocky goes off when I say the first name, the gun shot goes off if I say the full name. If I say Mr. Baldwin, nothing happens is good.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Those are the rules of the show. That's what happened when this case first came to light. That's what we decided. And we decided that it can't go away with our very accurate poll on email. So, no, when I said
Starting point is 00:28:15 whatever it was wrong, whatever you did there was wrong. I don't know what it was, but I know it was wrong. So they're going to recharge, it's what they're reporting, they're going to refile charges of involuntary manslaughter
Starting point is 00:28:27 against Alex Baldwin. just amazing I cannot believe that this is going to happen so they believe that they with this second analysis of the gun that there's no way he could not have pulled the trigger
Starting point is 00:28:48 all right it's not the same gun remember we talked about it when they dropped the original charges the analysis from experts in ballistics and forensic testing based in Arizona and New Mexico relied on replacement parts to reassemble the gun
Starting point is 00:29:09 fired by Mr. Baldwin. No, that's... After parts of the pistol were broken during earlier testing by the FBI. So it's a different gun. It's got different parts. You can't...
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh my gosh. I mean, do I want... Do I want Alec? to go to jail I mean I wouldn't mind it it be fun to see but no I don't think he deserves to go to jail for this
Starting point is 00:29:45 I really don't and I think this is just silly I don't know why we're keep dragging this guy this case up but it's just to get press I know and I'm sorry that Helena's dead I'm sorry Joel got shot I'm sorry the whole nightmare of the rust set happened
Starting point is 00:30:01 but it's long gone now and to according to this, Rust movie productions has paid $157,000 in fines to the state workplace safety regulators following a scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard
Starting point is 00:30:23 industry protocols, including testimony that production managers took limited to no action to address two misfires on the set before the fatal shooting. Yeah, they were all getting high and partying and drinking and have a great time. And those people are getting charged and need to be charged. But what happened with Alec Baldwin was a mistake, an accident.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And to hold him accountable for an accident just doesn't seem right. Although, again, would I like to see him take the perp walk into jail and or prison? Yeah, kind of. Kind of. Bye, Alec. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. Okay, we've got Major League Baseball playoffs going on. We have WNBA playoffs going on. We have NFL being played. We have soccer. Well, we do have soccer.
Starting point is 00:31:54 played but that's over there. We have some soccer here too that's going on and we have college football. A very little soccer excitement from me, although I love the sport. I just haven't followed it lately because it's
Starting point is 00:32:10 football season and that's what I care about is the football season. But I just got news that the U.S. Summer Olympics team which is going to happen in 2028. So we still have the Bedbug Olympics in France happening in
Starting point is 00:32:26 2024 next year. But in 2008, we host the Olympics. And the International Olympic Committee has officially now greenlit cricket, flag football, baseball slash softball, lacrosse, and squash for the
Starting point is 00:32:48 28th summer games in Los Angeles. It's the first for flag football, or squash, and a return for cricket and lacrosse, which had a short-lived Olympic debut, and of course you remember this 100 years ago. There's no guarantee that these sports will stick around after 2028. So, I mean, they've already, they've made surfing, I think, is permanent now
Starting point is 00:33:13 that they just put in, I don't know, a couple Olympics ago or so. The addition to cricket, they're happy in India because the Olympic broadcasting rights, they're saying, you know, now that we've got cricket, we can charge a lot more money. Oh, okay. How much more?
Starting point is 00:33:29 At least a couple hundred million more. Oh, okay. Love cricket. Man, do we love cricket? So according to this, it remains the second most popular sport in the world. Cricket! I don't know that I knew that.
Starting point is 00:33:45 But, I mean, India is the most populated country in the world, and that's where it's the biggest sport. So, okay. And they want, of course, they want people in North America to love it. And the NFL, you saw the commercials. If you watch NFL on Sundays or Mondays or Thursdays, you see the NFL promoting flag football. And there, you know, the Olympic organizers are happy that the NFL is behind the flag football movement.
Starting point is 00:34:11 They want the flag football growth. I mean, some of the new rules in NFL are making the, and really college, too. but I mean it's not unwatchable yet, but it's close, man. It is really close. And we'll see if Major League Baseball allows the players to play in the Olympics because then that would make us the gold medal team. Clearly, we're not losing that.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Karate was introduced in Tokyo in 2020. Yeah, we're not putting that back in. We had enough. I take your little yellow belt and your little gray belt and your little black belt. head, get out of here. And the one thing that you'll be happy about is skateboarding stays.
Starting point is 00:34:59 So, congratulations. That came to light in Tokyo and everybody loves it. So, 2028 skateboarding. Skateboarding will be included. So the 28 Olympic Games can't come fast enough,
Starting point is 00:35:15 can they? But hey, let's get through those bedbug games in France. first. And I'm not kidding about those bed bug games. We need quarantine issues going on from France for this 2024 thing. I don't want bedbugs. They're already. We're already hearing about them coming to America
Starting point is 00:35:32 and coming to other countries. How about no? You're going to all Olympic athletes go to France. Fine. Good luck. Hope you win. Want to see you up on one of the podiums. Gold medal hopefully but silver or bronze, whatever it is. Happy about it. But you're not
Starting point is 00:35:48 new. Would you you're coming back, you're going to stay over there for about, well, at least three or four days. And we're going to hose you down and hose all your stuff down. And you're going to be in a mayonnaise jar sealed on Funkin-Wagnall's porch until we decide that you don't have any bedbugs on you. And then we're going to let you back in the country. So how do you know if a company wants you gone or not? Okay, that's the question. How do you know if they want you gone, but they don't know how to fire you?
Starting point is 00:36:19 well, they have to find something to fire you over, right? So they did that. Citibank did that with this guy. And they fired him because he had expensed his partner's meals to the company and then claimed, ah, they were for me. They were for me. And so now they just won a lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Citibank won this lawsuit because he sued them for wrongful, well, wrongful termination, but that's not what they fired him. I mean, he sued them for that. He sued them saying, yeah, I was wrongfully and unfairly dismissed by Citibank. And so now the court documents were just made public, and they wanted him gone, because they kept calling him back over this one trip.
Starting point is 00:37:09 He took a business trip to Amsterdam, and then he told a colleague he was taking his partner on a three-night trip, and upon returning from abroad, he signed off for six weeks on medical leave. So they didn't want that. They were pissed about that, I'm sure. They obviously don't say that. But he claimed in court, yeah, I was struggling with the loss of my grandmother, and it was a significant loss. And when the director said, hey, your expense report appeared to show meals for two people,
Starting point is 00:37:40 what colleague ate with you on this trip? Well, no colleagues. I ordered all the food for me. I ordered food for two. And I ordered two coffees. They were real small coffees. I mean, City's expense policy clearly states
Starting point is 00:38:02 spousal travel and meals are not reimbursable and that any employee attendees, the company, has been asked to pay for a must be named. Oh, okay. So they had to have liked this. So then he responded with that, and it said they queried him again. They came after him again.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Then he had a Zoom meeting with the bosses. They called him in over Zoom and said, hey, why are two meals being charged to the company on these occasions? Oh, don't worry about it. I'm fine. I ate for two. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Sorry about it. So they let him go.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And he sued them back and he lost. City Bank won this case And I would say I'm on his side kind of And I get it Stealing from the company He was breaking the rules I know
Starting point is 00:38:58 I know But I would be willing to bet Looking If you were to go into city group And start digging into Company dinners And expense reports
Starting point is 00:39:14 that many expense reports are incorrect or with added drinks or I got that, let me get that. So I'm sure that this was specific to him because they wanted him gone. And the only way they could get him gone was breaking the actual rules, which he did.
Starting point is 00:39:37 He did break the rules. But I find that those are one of the rules that I'm sure are laxed, for some employees and not so laxed for guys like this guy. All right, I'll leave you with some writing advice.
Starting point is 00:39:54 All right. And I just, I saw this last night and I thought, man, this is a good, this is a helpful hint right here. And this is what this shows about. Chewing the fat, helping. A colon can completely change the meaning
