So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
Blaze Radio Network.
And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
Okay, so I know today, if you're listening live, it is the 9th of October, 2023,
and it is Columbus Day, or Indigenous People.
People's Day, which, uh, because became a national holiday in 2021.
So, uh, have fun.
Go out and celebrate.
Uh, you can't go to the bank is closed.
Uh, you won't get any mail.
So, it's a, it's a big holiday.
Uh, so happy indigenous people's day from chewing the fat and myself, Jeff Fisher.
But I know the people at the villages in Florida, a little down today.
Uh, and by the,
that, I mean, a 77-year-old man from the villages has been accused of having thousands of dollars
worth of illegal pills used to treat erectile dysfunction. What is happening at the villages?
Nothing is what's happening at the villages. There is no bidsiness going on because there's now
a shortage of the erectile dysfunction pills. So there's an outrage, in fact, in the community.
And I bet they are probably.
pissed.
Now, according to the feds, and we love what the feds are doing across America,
Reginald Kinser was allegedly willing to satisfy the demand at the villages
by having his erectile dysfunction pills at the ready.
Now, according to the news release, he had more than $1,800 worth of pills.
Whoa.
Millions of dollars of pills.
fentanyl and cocaine and heroin coming into this country.
But this guy at the villages had $1,800 worth of pills that were off-brand and
stashed in his house.
What?
Yeah.
He apparently got the pills without a prescription from a licensed doctor.
And he planned to redistribute the drugs outside of the state.
Uh-huh.
Needless to say, cancer has become, you know, a legend at the villages.
Yeah, no kidding.
We'll see.
It probably won't hold up in court.
Ha, ha, ha.
One woman said the man is trying to do a girl a favor.
So if he is found guilty,
he could spend some time behind bars,
and it's a sad thing.
So, I mean, he could stand a year behind bars
for $1,800 worth of off-brand erectile dysfunction pills.
What are we becoming in America?
Villages, I am so sorry.
Keep your chin up, because that's about the only thing left that you can keep up until we get Reginald back into business.
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
All right, so we know we have Reginald, who was, well, according to the Fed's breaking the law with his off-brand erectile dysfunction pills in the villages down in Florida.
So we now have a new survey from SolitaireBliss.com.
Nearly 2,000 people were quizzed about cheating on everything from marriage to games to diets to lying about their age.
77% of Texans surveyed cheated on a diet.
51% have cut in line.
45% have cheated on something work-related.
40% have lied about their age.
28% of Texans surveyed have cheated on a partner,
which means that Texas is number one as the most cheaters.
Congratulations to Texas.
Now, I see Florida is not in the top 10 of the most cheaters overall.
You have Washington, Michigan, Oklahoma, New York.
This is counting down from 10 to 1.
We know Texas is number one.
Washington, Michigan, Oklahoma.
New York, Massachusetts, Iowa, California, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas.
So congratulations to the top 10 states with the most cheaters, according to the survey from solitairebliss.com.
And it goes on to show some other list of what's happening on their health, the most states.
Florida is on that list.
Rank 32nd, though, for the most cheaters, as far as their health is concerned.
Two and five American adults have cut someone in line.
Well, yeah, I've got to get my product.
So congratulations to the great state of Texas for being number one in cheating.
I know, I know.
So overall, the most common ways Americans
cheat is on their diets, 72%,
single player games,
44%, and cutting in line, 39%.
Cutting in line is tough, though.
You know, because, well, maybe not.
Maybe if you just step in the line and cut,
people, most people were like, go ahead, go ahead.
But they're still kind of pissed.
But you cut in line, so you did cheat.
The numbers are much lower for things like
fudging on tax deductions,
or a minor theft for,
stores like not scanning an item at the self-checkout or nibbling on bulk candies before
they're weighed and paid. I thought that's what they were for, you know, like little grapes and
candies and the bulk thing. I mean, you're supposed to eat those, right?
22% overall said they regret cheating on their partners. And the majority of cheaters,
that's because, no, never mind. I was just going to, I was thinking about, you know,
the other
78%
were happy that they cheated
their partners.
Have you seen my partner?
Anyway, the majority of cheaters,
53% said they
don't regret it at all.
So, congratulations
to 53%
of the survey
from
Solitaryblist.com,
the 2,000 people that were quizzed.
on cheating,
53% are fine with it.
They're not going to regret it at all.
So there you have it.
Now, the states that claim to have the fewest cheaters,
10 to 1, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina, Florida,
under 50% in Florida.
These are all under 50% actually.
New Mexico's number one at 43%.
And that's why the most cheating,
Texas, Alabama, Nebraska, and California are all
over 60%. Wow. That's a big number. But the states that have the fewest cheaters, according to this quiz,
are New Mexico, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Maine. Now, we are just assuming that people who are claiming to be cheaters told the truth
in a quiz. So, okay. All right. You know, speaking of the state,
with the fewest cheaters, New Mexico,
I see where there's a little problem at the state fair of New Mexico.
It's state fair time around the country.
In fact, the Texas state fair, you know, all the states are having their big state fairs now,
and it's a wonderful thing.
However, in New Mexico, they are saying,
hey, we've got an outbreak of cryptospordi, cryptospordi.
Cryptospority.
Cryptosporidosis.
Yeah, that's what I said.
there's an outbreak of
Cryptosporidosis.
Yeah.
And New Mexico.
And apparently it's because of
a petting zoo at the livestock
at the New Mexico State Fair.
So there have been
patients with laboratory confirmed
Cryptosporidosis.
And an additional
15 clinically compatible
cases who report exposure
at the New Mexico State Fair.
Cases reside in
multiple counties across the state.
Take it easy, petting the old animals across the state of New Mexico,
or any state, for that matter.
So it occurs in various hosts, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles.
Outbreaks have been associated with contamination of municipal water supplies
and swimming pools and interactions with livestock.
So the most common presenting sign is frequent non-bloody, watery diarrhea.
Other signs and symptoms include abdominal cramps, abominable, abominable cramps, fatigue, vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss.
The illness is usually self-limiting, but can be dangerous to the immunocompromise.
The incubation period averages seven days, ranging from two to 14 days.
Okay.
Children with the...
Cryptosporidosis.
Should not attend daycare until their symptoms resolved.
So if you've been at a state fair and you let the kids run out there to the old petting zoo,
easy now. You don't want none of.
Cryptosporidosis.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
Hard, quick lotto update.
Tonight, the 9th of October, as I told you earlier, 23.
for those of you listening live, $1.55 billion for a powerball drawing.
That's $679.8 million cash payout.
Now, the mega millions drawing is tomorrow night, which is just, well, it's despicable.
It's only $20 million.
I know.
$20 million.
It just looks like it is nothing.
You know, I can, I sure am I willing to take it?
Okay. It's like 8.7 million cash payout. You maybe walk away with four and a half million.
All right. Whatever you say. Yeah, the big mega million drawing was won by someone in Texas.
Not me, I might add. It was not me. But someone in Texas matched all six numbers on Friday night's drawing.
So congratulations. They got 157.3 million dollar cash payout. I don't think anyone's come forward with that.
for that. So good luck.
And there are plenty of other winners. Other people won
3 million and 2 million and
30,000, 10,000.
I mean, you know how the lot of works. But no one
you know, the one
person in Texas won the big
one. So
congratulations to you.
And even if you win the lottery
or you don't win the lottery, you want to be
clean. Of course you do.
And most people who buy soap from
the store don't realize what it's
doing to their skin.
bought soap will get you clean, but while it's doing that, it's also drying out your skin.
And then, of course, you have to keep buying products, like a lotion, stuff made from the same
company.
Wow.
Yes, that's exactly how it works.
However, soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk.
That's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap.
and he's been making it the right way ever since.
You want your skin to be clean,
but also retain its moisture.
You need goat soap.
And you're going to want Quinn's goat soap.
Go to QPgoatsoap.com.
They make real soap, old school, hand-poured, made from scratch.
And old-school means that soap cleans while moisturizing
in a way that the commercial bars just don't.
And of course, like we talked about earlier, by design.
Raw goat milk makes the soap special.
Creamy, soft, rich, sedzy lather.
All the essential proteins and nutrients are preserved in goat milk soap
and delivered in a finished bar of real soap.
They have a wide range of fragrances, seasonal scents.
They perhaps have the largest selection of men's fragrances of any handmade soap maker,
as well as tons of ladies' favorites.
And you should try the shampoo bars.
You're never going to go back to the bottle of shampoo for,
sure. Go to QP.GoteSope.com. And you can use Jeffie as a promo code and get 10% off your entire order.

All right. So I see where this week, Friday the 13th is the opening to the Taylor Swift
Era's Tour movie.
theaters. They've already sold
100 plus million dollars
in advance tickets
globally. So, good
for her. It would be
I mean, it's already over 100 million.
Right. So, I mean, that's just
incredible. Good for her. However,
and I mean, I'm kind of happy
that it's being released because I
found out there's a new
issue with people who have
gone to Taylor Swift concerts.
They are experiencing
a post-concert blank.
space. So maybe if they go to the movies, they'll be able to remember their time at the concert.
So apparently fans have reported a lack of memory after attending the Ares Tour concerts.
And some are saying they're even forgetting chunks of her performance. Oh, no.
Experts at the Hackensack Meridian Health in New Jersey. And I love the Hackensack Meridian Health
of New Jersey, one of my favorite
Hackensack Meridian
Health places. Anyway, they
are saying they've researched
why concert goers are experiencing blackouts
after their big night
out. Dr. Nathan Carroll,
Associate Chief Resident
Psychiatrist at the Hackensack
Meridian Jersey Shore
University Medical Center
linked the memory loss after
concerts to a neurological condition
called transient
global amnesia.
Or TGA.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
So TGA is a rare phenomenon.
Impacting memory.
Yeah, it sure is.
Individuals who experience TGA will attend an event like a concert, wedding, or festival,
and later report undeniable gaps in their memory.
This type of memory loss is different from normal forgetfulness.
For example, during the event, it may look like you're acting normally and answering questions,
but later, you may not recall some of your conversations.
Yeah, it's called drug use.
Oh, no, sorry.
Unlike other amnesias, memory loss is very limited, only lasting about a day, and people
don't forget autobiographical information.
Actually, they kind of do, Doc.
TGA can develop due to elevated blood pressure, strenuous physical activity, and emotional excitement.
The doc said that all are theorized to temporarily impair the functioning of memory centers in our brain.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
So maybe they go to the movie and it brings back all those memories, right?
So congratulations to Taylor for releasing the movie who will help people get their memories back because you do not want people suffering from
Transient Global Amnesia.
Yeah, you don't want none of that.
Probably going to get used in court pretty soon, though.
Your Honor, what am I, I'm sorry.
You know, I suffer from TGA,
and I just don't remember.
I just, everything is blank for me.
So, so I wish I could, I wish I could help you.
I'd like to tell you exactly what happened,
but I can't because of transient global amnesia,
coming to a courtroom near you very soon.
I see where the rapper Drake,
I love how all the headlines can't just say Drake taking a break from music.
No, rapper Drake.
Okay, he's also an author.
Whatever, it's fine.
It's just something that bugs me.
Rapper Drake, taking a break from music to focus on his health.
Oh my gosh.
Is he suffering from TGA from transient global amnesia?
No, Drake is not.
He has an issue with the stomach.
He said, I probably won't be making music for a little bit.
I'm going to be honest.
I have several upcoming performances.
Those are being postponed,
and I need to focus on my health.
I'll talk about that soon enough.
Nothing crazy, but just like, you know,
I want people to be healthy in life,
and I've been having the craziest problems for years
with my stomach.
I'm going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit.
Okay?
I don't even know what a little bit is.
Maybe a year, maybe a little longer.
Yeah, you just don't know.
You don't know.
And hopefully it is just the stomach and not TGA.
I don't want anyone to suffer from transatlient global amnesia, especially Drake.
So dry your eyes.
If you had plans to see Drake live on tour, that probably isn't going to happen for a while.
And I see, I know where he talks about in their story that he is an author.
He just published a book of poetry.
Now, I don't know if you can hear that on Audible or Spotify,
because I see where Spotify is now starting a little turf war with Audible.
Spotify has now
saying,
hey, you know,
subscribers,
you can listen to 15 hours
of audiobooks for free each month.
Oh.
Now, that's started in UK and Australia,
but it will expand to the U.S. this winter.
The company will offer 150,000 plus books,
including more than 70% of the New York Times
bestsellers list.
Spotify is hoping to swipe market share,
from Amazon's Audible, which is the dominant player in the industry,
which they're saying that industry is supposed to double in size by 2026.
Spotify, your one-stop shop.
You got music, podcasting, and now audiobooks.
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Who died today? Who died today? We'll start with Terence Davies. He's a screenwriter and
film director dead at the age of 77.
He's a British screenwriter and director, known for films including distant voices, still
lives, has died at the age of 77.
He was born and raised in Liverpool, and his work often has an autobiographical element.
He died peacefully at his home after a short illness.
That is what his manager confirmed.
It didn't say that.
It said that it was a short illness.
So maybe you ought to not think what you're thinking.
Okay.
So Terrence Davies,
uh,
screenwriter and film director,
dead at the age of 77.
Then we have a horrific story about this couple and their dog in Canada.
Okay, so the couple is Canadian couple,
Doug Inglis and Jenny Goose, Guse, Guse, GUSA, GUSA, GUSA, GUSA, GUSA.
says E, both 62, went on a seven-day hiking trek inside Alberta's popular Baff National
Park. And who doesn't want to go on a hiking trek through there? I mean, seriously. And the
couple were highly experienced. They've been in the area many times. And then they pissed off a
grizzly bear somewhere. I don't know how. I don't know why. But they had their dog with,
they had their dog with them too. They're border collie Trish.
Trish was seven years old.
So they're out hiking,
and they notified their connection
out to the outside world as uncle
that they hadn't reached their planned camping destination
and would instead bunker down for the night
near the Red Deer River and the Panther Valley,
which is beautiful this time of year, I might add.
And so it's west of the Yaha Tinda Ranch
and the Baff National Park.
I don't know if you know that, I'm just telling you.
I'm sure you do.
So they, you know, texted Doug.
And then Doug said at 8.15 on Friday night, he got a message from Colin saying,
S-O-S.
That's all it read.
S-O-S.
And then he got a call from their Garmin in-reach device that said bear attack bad.
So the uncle's like, this isn't good.
Really?
Yeah.
So he got a hold of everybody.
and he doesn't know what to do
and he said, you know, I'm helpless,
I'm not sure what to do.
So he sent messages to the Canadian park officials
and they got a helicopter deployed
for the search and rescue.
But they didn't get there until like 10.30.
I mean, they didn't get the message
until about 10.30.
They didn't even get to the campsite
until like 2 a.m.
And the original message was at 8.15.
So you're a little late.
You're a little late.
So the recovery team found them all the bodies.
of ingliz and gusse or gusse and their seven-year-old border collie named trish so the couple apparently
were inside their tent reading when they were attacked by a grizzly bear they said the tent was crushed
and their e-readers were open they believe that they were out one of them believes that she was inside
sending the desperate sOS and he was outside trying to fend off the bear along with the dog and
So they've used at least one can of bear spray.
That grizzly bear laughed at that one can of bear spray.
Laughed.
Why weren't they armed?
I'm sure they were, you know, just a perfect hiking couple out in the woods.
But if you're out hiking in that country, you should be armed
so that at least you can get a shot off when the grizzly starts attacking you, right?
Honey, is that a grizzly bear I hear outside the tent?
Why, yes.
Yes, it is.
I mean, you got to try, right?
The bear spray, the grizzlies are mean.
The bear spray didn't work.
Dog is yapping trying to attack the bear.
The grizzlies putting them all down.
In the response team said,
the grizzly bear absolutely was intent on killing them.
Now, once they got there,
they located the grizzly bear,
suspected of killing the couple.
And because the bear was so aggressive to them,
uh-huh.
At least that's what they say.
As far as I'm concerned, no problem.
Is that the grizzly that looks like he has a human blood on him and dog blood on him?
Yeah, we're putting him down.
Look at how aggressive he is.
He's looking like he wants to kill us, too.
He's going to have to go down.
Now, Parks Canada revealed that the bear was a 25-year-old grizzly in fair body condition,
poor teeth, less body fat than usual for this time of year.
experts believe the bear was predatory because it was trying to fatten up ahead of hibernation in the winter.
They'll perform an autopsy or a necropsy or whatever it is that they perform on a grizzly
to determine if it was the same animal that killed the couple.
If it's not the same animal, we got to go grizzly bear hunting.
We've got to put another one down.
Sorry about it.
Now, according to this, they said the couple did everything right, but bad things happen.
No, I know bad things happen, and the bad things still may have happened.
But they were out there with just a can.
of bear spray on a hike
when there's grizzlies out there
and they're not armed. I don't
understand that.
Oh, those are the Canadian rules, Jeff.
Okay, but if I'm going on a hike
and I'm out in the woods like that,
especially
if you don't know where you're going to camp at,
you have to be armed to protect
yourself from bad
people and bad
animals. The whole thing
is just really sad. So rest
in peace, Doug Engliss,
Jenny G-U-S-E-S-E-62 and Border Collie, Tris, who was seven.
Rest in peace.
Then we have the six men suspected in the involvement in the August murder of Ecuador's
anti-corruption presidential candidate, Fernando Villaventenseo.
They killed him and they arrested these six men who were suspected in the involvement.
Big surprise, they are now dead.
They were in prison, and we don't know what happened.
We just know that darn the luck, man, all of a sudden we turned around and one thing led to another, and they're dead.
So, sorry about it.
We'll look into it, though.
We will look into it, but that's all the information we're going to tell you right now.
Okay.
Thank you.
Now, for those of you that like sports, it's that time of the year.
We have the Major League Baseball playoffs.
We have the WNBA finals.
We have the Rugby World Cup.
We have the Cricket World Cup.
And we have the start of the NHL regular season, which is underway.
So it's a really good time to be a sports fan.
But all of those included really don't match up to the football season that we're having.
I mean, it's college football.
NFL time. And that's really the most important sport on the planet, isn't it? I think we can all
agree on that. So a big NFL day yesterday, a lot of teams lost that you had anticipated would
win. Sorry about it. And then college football. Wow, what a, what a weekend in college football.
I was, had a tough weekend. I was in particularly hurt this weekend as my Missouri Tigers.
I went down to defeat to the LSU Tigers.
It was a good game.
We should have won that game.
We were up on them early and we lost it.
I will say this.
Throughout college football,
not just the Missouri LSU game,
although I did ask the Southeastern Conference
in an ex post
to please put the referee team
that did the LSU Missouri game
on suspension for life.
They made a lot.
so many terrible calls and so many terrible non-calls. That's a big deal. But I pause for just a
second because it wasn't just that game. Between college football, and I watched a lot of college
football this weekend, and I watched quite a bit of NFL this weekend. And between all of those
games that I watched, there's a whole lot of referee issues all weekend long. And I know, I get it.
They have a tough job, Jeff, and everything moves so fast. And we've got to. We've got to,
reviews and we try to get it right. I know. I know. I understand. But when you have penalty calls
through the roof, then you have also, and it isn't just the penalties, a lot of times it's the
non-calls, the non-penity calls that affect the momentum of a game. So we get the penalties,
which are questionable. Many. Many are not. I know they get a lot right. I get it. But, but,
But they also have a lot of non-calls where they decide they're not going to call it when they should.
And that affects the momentum of a game as well.
I don't know what all has to be done.
I really don't.
I don't understand sometimes the philosophy behind.
They get a craw in their gut for a particular play or player and then you're getting called or you're not getting called.
And it's just, it's an amazing feat for me.
and I just, I don't know how to fix it.
The reviews sometimes drive me insane.
We have the reviews going on, and they're overlooking at a, you know, a laptop-sized screen
when they have four giant screens in the stadium and the rest of the world is looking
at the four giant screens going, hey, we already know what the outcome is going to be.
Let's get to it.
So it's just amazing to me that I don't know what has to be done, but it's very frustrating.
And maybe what has to be done is we just.
just stop watching sports.
That is not going to happen.
I mean, live football is, you know,
the most watched thing there is.
And don't even get me started
on the AP top 25 polls.
How is it possible that Notre Dame,
Notre Dame with two losses
are still in the top 25?
And my Missouri Tigers with one loss
to a top 25 team
is not in the top 25.
It's unbelievable to me.
And I know that's a little bias.
I got it.
Could it be that Notre Dame has a big game with who is number 10 USC,
who is undefeated as they take on Notre Dame this weekend?
Could that be a reason why Notre Dame is still ranked in the top 25
so that they can have a pairing of two top 25 teams?
I mean, come on.
I like Notre Dame too.
But they've lost two games.
And so sorry about it.
And you're not going anywhere. Have a nice day. Take care. But the rest of us get screwed because of we have to have Notre Dame in the top 25 for the big TV audience. Okay. All right. I got it. Sorry.

Hey, if you go into a Walgreens today, or if you go to a Walgreens on their closed,
apparently hundreds of Walgreens stores in the U.S. employees,
are going to walk off the job today to protest high stress working conditions.
Yeah, when you think of high stress jobs, you think of Walgreens.
I know I do.
I know I do.
So just be prepared for that as it's being reported that many stores are going to have
employees walk off the job today to protest those high stress working conditions at Walgreens.
So pharmacy employees, including pharmacist,
technicians and support staff are planning a walkout between October 9th and 11th,
an organizer who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the train.
Hey, you don't want big Walgreens coming after you.
Employees at more than 500 of America's approximately 9,000 Walgreens are going to walk out
because of high stress issues.
Okay, that's, you know, I know it's tough.
Some days, some days, I have.
have to fill someone's prescription at the counter and then I have to go to the drive-thru window.
So I just stuff.
I know it is.
And now every day each Walgreens pharmacy closes for a lunch break.
They don't even work straight through.
They can't schedule the pharmacy to be open the entire day.
We got to shut it down for a lunch break for everybody.
So I'm sure that eases some of the high stress issues.
Do you know, the other day, I was working at the drive-thru and somebody got mad at me because it took so long to get their prescription and I can't do it.
I can't deal with it.
It's too much stress.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I will.
There's better.
Listen, I'm making jokes because it's funny to me to think that, you know, you're upset about your high stress job.
because you've got people at the drive-through mad.
I know that they're busy, and I know it's overwhelming.
I get it.
I do.
Oh, I do.
Don't look at me like that.
I do.
But it is, after all, you're just working behind the counter,
and it can't be that hard, right?
And I don't know if it's pay.
There are some Walgreens that have better head pharmacists than others.
I've, you know, you get to know them,
and then they're gone, and then it's done,
and you have to deal with new people
and it's just kind of agonizing to the customer, I know.
But it's also, so I guess that makes it frustrating for the employees.
But still, you're just making sure people are getting their prescriptions at the pharmacy.
And the other day, man, I had two people at the counter and five people with the drive-through
and I just couldn't put up with it.
I had to take a break.
Of course.

pharmacies that is tough.
You don't know the stress behind the counter.
The other day, I was filling a prescription.
I had to count the pills and put them in a model.
And at the same time, people were at the counter wanting to be served.
And I had to tell them, I'll be right with you.
I couldn't do it.
I just couldn't do it.
I went ahead and closed the pharmacy just five minutes early for a lunch break because I just couldn't go on.
And you can order a cameo from you at any time.
At Jeffrey JFR, that's not free.
You can go to Cameo and at Jeffy JFR and, you know, happy, glad, sad, mad mean, whatever you want from Cameo.
And I'll be happy to do that for you on Cameo.
It's not free, though.
Hopefully, I won't get too backed up on Cameo because I don't know if I could take it.
The other day, I'm working at the drive-thru, and the lady asked me if I could get her a bottle of ibuprofen.
And, of course, I have to.
I can't tell her to come in the store.
So I've got to say, hold on, and I've got to go out to the aisle,
and I've got to get the bottle of ibuprofen and bring it back to the drive-through lane.
And then she said it was the wrong kind.
It's just too much stress.
Working at Walgreens is too much.
It's too much stress.
Okay, have I made you mad yet?
Sorry.
No, I am.
I'm sorry.
I'm really.
I'm sorry.
And I really do know that it's a pain in the ass.
I get it.
you have to deal with people's insurance and people, you know, have the wrong insurance and it's too much money.
They want to know why they have to, why they're being charged this.
I've seen it all happen in line.
I really have.
I get the frustration.
I really do.
But that's your job.
That's what you chose.
So just, I can't believe that we're actually going to walk off the job.
And now you're going to actually affect people's lives.
Oh, that's our point.
We're going to make sure they know we exist.
I don't think it's going to work that.
way for you. I really don't. But good luck with it. Good luck with it.
More hackers. Yay. More than 7,000 23 and me customers were the victims of a data breach,
with the hackers specifically targeting users of the Ashkenazi Jewish industry. The data includes
users' names, profile photos, genetic ancestry results, date of birth, geographical location.
They're attempting to sell the data.

depending on how many accounts a buyer wants to purchase.
How'd they do it?
Well, by Credential Stuffing.
Yeah, I hate that, man.
I am not a fan of credential stuffing.

So good luck.
Good luck to everyone who had their data breached from 23 and me,
especially the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry people.
All right, so I'll leave you with the joke of the day.
Actually, it's kind of an informative joke of the day.
