Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. As you know, I love Florida. I live there for a long time. I now live in the great state of Texas,

but I love the great state of Florida. And I spent a lot of years there. But I find out now that something has to be done. All right there, this must be taken care of. We know that over the past five years, more than 10,000 Burmese pythons have been captured. Okay. And now we find out that they are spreading like wildfire in Florida.

The rapid uptick from the first time Burmese pythons were found in the wild back in 1979. And then they didn't find another one for another 16 years. And then in 95 they captured a couple. I always believe that maybe after Hurricane Andrew came through in 92, that that freed a lot of pythons, and then they began to, you know, take care of a little python, bid this out in the wild,

which I think still kind of holds true. But right now, we have a real issue. In Florida, they call it an invasion front of these Burmese pythons. So I don't know what Governor DeSantis plans on doing. I know every year we have the hunt. Maybe we have a year-round hunt, okay? But something needs to be done.

This cannot go on. All right, I get it that we have the hunt and they have cash prizes and we have fun with who who killed the biggest and who killed the loudest and who killed the prettiest. Got it. Don't care. We need to have an actual Python hunter group sponsored by the state. Yes, I want the government involved. That's fine.

Or we can do it price. I don't care, but either way, something has to be done. This will not stand to have Burmese pythons growing like wildfire in Florida. Because then what happens? They continue to roam around the southeast of the country. And pretty soon, we've got Burmese pythons coming across into Florida, are coming across into Texas. And then we're going to have to take care of it.

and it just might be too late. Can't do it. This cannot happen. We're going to have a government bailout. Let's have a government bailout to kill the pythons. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Sometimes we look at Canada and say,

I can't believe that's Canada. And other times we go, yeah, yeah, that's right. A Canadian judge has just ruled that giving someone the finger, is protected under the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Good. You know, for years, I told people at the end of my show, I did a show for years called The Fisher Files. And at the end of the Fisher Files, that particular show,

I would tell everyone to go out and give someone they don't know the finger. That was just a stupid way to end the show. And I would always say, go out and see somebody you don't know. them the finger for me. Okay. And then my board operator would give me the finger. And I would say, no, not me. You don't want to give me the finger. You want to give somebody else the finger. And that would be the way we ended the show. It was just a stupid way to end the show. However, of course, you can give somebody the finger. That's America. But not in Canada. So they went to court. Two guys got into a big fight. Police were called, arrests were made, and they went to court. And the judge

ruled that the nearby surveillance footage did not collaborate to some of the accusations that were made and he said no. He also said that offending someone is not a crime. That's a line that needs to be used

in this country more and more every day. Offending someone is not a crime. The judge said the complainants are free to clutch their pearls. in the face of such an insult. However, the police department and the 911 dispatching service have more important priorities to address.

Amen. So I am a huge fan of this judge and this ruling. Okay? Offending someone is not a crime. Speaking of fingers, did you see David Byrne with his hot dog finger? on the Oscars last night. Now, I know, I know

that it was a big part of everything everywhere all at once. Got it. I have not seen the movie yet. So, you know, everyone who hasn't seen the movie, everything, everywhere, all at once, just saw David Byrne with his hot dog fingers as he was singing

the song from the movie that was nominated for an Oscar. And you thought, oh, of course, of course David Byrne has hot dog fingers. Of course he does. That's David Byrne. But it was, you know, in reference to some of the scenes in the actual movie. But the Oscars were last night. And, I mean, we had, we had some interesting things happen.

We had Nicole Kidman. People were concerned about her on the red carpet thinking she was a little, you know, inebriated. Maybe something else going on. We had Gaga, who performed. She tried to rescue some photographer that tripped and fell where she was walking in. kind of sweet of her. Hugh Grant was a big dick on the red carpet to the interviewer.

I watched the interview and I thought, you know, he just, he could have done things a lot nicer. So I don't know what happened before. What's Her Face was interviewing Hugh? Ashley Graham, she was doing all the interviews on the red carpet. I would love to be there on the red carpet

interviewing these people. Chewing the fat at the Oscars would be awesome. I don't think they'd ever let that happen. But I would love to be, have Chewing the Fat at the Oscars. We had Jimmy Kimmel hosting. He did okay. I mean, what more can you do? I mean, you just have to kind of ride it out and, you know, be a part of it.

The ending, when he ended it, it was pretty funny. He ended it. We joined Good Morning America already in progress. He walked off. Had the big sign there that said number of Oscars without any injuries. One, he flipped the sign over to one. I was funny. That was a good way to end the Oscars.

I will say I saw Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors walk out. Am I the only one that saw Jonathan Majors have these clown shoes on? Does he have an issue with his feet or something that I'm unaware of? Because when he walked out with Michael, I was like, what is happening? And he's got these giant clown shoes on. and they showed him walking out and then they showed him like one other shot as he was standing there you could kind of tell

that he had these giant cloud shoes out so maybe I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything I'm supposed to say oh that's that's right he Jonathan's got you know foot deformity I don't know it was just like what is happening as he was walking

out on the stage so maybe it was you know it's probably just me and they gave some love to Angela Bassett and then I saw her I mean her reaction when Jamie Lee Curtis won her Oscar, was not good. Angela, you should have stood up. You should have gave him a little clap there or something, man.

You did not look happy. She was pissed that Jamie Lee won the Oscar. I mean, I love Angela Bassett, no question. But I kind of like Jamie Lee, although she's kind of a nightmare too. But aren't they all, Jeff? Yes, they kind of are. But I will say, Angela, baby, what are you doing?

Come on. Come on now. It's the Oscars. Maybe you stand up anyway. She didn't have a stand up. She looked unhappy. It was like, ooh, okay. Now, I don't know. Maybe her and Jamie Lee have a little history that I'm not aware of, or maybe Angela was just pissed and thought she should have won. But the movie, everything, everywhere, all at once. I mean, they took home seven Academy Awards. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, best film editing. They did not get best actor. That went to Brandon Frazier for the whale playing a fat man. Yeah, it's okay. He's not, you know, he's just appropriating a fat man and he wins an Oscar. Okay. All right. Congratulations, Brandon. All quiet on the Western Front. Got three Academy Awards.

Best Cinematography, Best Original Score. What was the other one that they got? Oh, best production design. It looks like a movie to see. I have not seen that movie yet, so it's worth a watch. Overall, I would say that the Oscars were kind of boring this year, but really that's what they wanted. You know, I saw, you know, John Travolta welled up when he came out for the M. Memorium

and with, you know, the incomparable Lenny Kravitz playing music, which was fine. It was a fine segment, and they've launched their in-memorium link on the Oscars website. because last year they screwed up and forgot to mention somebody. So, you know, of course, the first one they're going to mention is Olivia Newton, John. That's why John Chavilton was there. Yeah, I got it.

Okay. I got it. But overall, it was, you know, just kind of boring. What's his face from everything, everywhere, all at once, whatever's stupid name is, the writer. Talked about dressing and drag as a little kid, which is in harm to no one. We know, and that's not the point. The point wasn't, the point isn't kids dressing and drag at home. We're not trying to stop that.

What the point is is that people going out to drag shows with their children and what you're teaching sexually in elementary school. You know, that's the kind of thing that drives me kind of insane. And they just had the, what's his face, the guy that won Best Supporting Actor, I think, from everything everywhere all at once. he talked about how he and his mom came here on a boat, spent time in a refugee camp, and now he's on the largest stage in the world.

He said he was living the American dream. I mean, yeah, that's awesome. That's what it's all about. Coming to America, illegally, working hard and creating something. Man, I mean, it doesn't say more of America than that. All right, let's go to the break. I need something cold to drink desperately.

what I saw was graded 70,000 at SoFi for Stevie and Billy. I mean, Stevie's 74 now. Billy's 73 and they're still touring with two icons one night. I mean, it's amazing. And they started, they kicked it off in L.A.

And now we're, moving on. I mean, they've got a show here in DFW at Arlington, which would, you know, be the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, AT&T. They have Nashville, Philadelphia,

Columbus, Kansas City, Foxborough, Baltimore, and Minneapolis. So, if you get an opportunity, you may want to stop in and see Billy and Stevie. A lot of the videos, I mean, I loved the video. from all the fans quite a ways away.

That's so far, 70,000 people, a lot of videos happening from far away. I mean, you had the big screens going on, which is really cool. And that's what you're going to get at most of these stadiums. You know, you got the live stage, which is a million miles away. But you do get the big screens to see it, you know, make it. So you're live and up close. But two icons one night. Stop dragging my heart.

my heart around that. Billy comes out. And of course, this was the first show since Christine McVee died. So she was crying because of that. And we had Billy stop dragging my heart where Tom Petty was. So it would be a good show to see. If you have an opportunity, probably should do it.

So not only, I mean, this weekend, did we have the Oscars? I mean, we had the last of us, what's their season finale, was last night For those of you listening live today is the 13th of March, 2023. I can catch the last of us. I'm going to catch that today. I'll let you know. There's only so many things I can watch in a day.

Okay? Then we had the mayor of Kingston on Paramount Plus do it season finale. It was a little disappointing. Especially, you know why I was disappointing because I don't know when the next season is going to be. Jeremy Remmer is still, you know, rehabbing up in the mountains after he got run over from his stupid snowplow. And so let's get to it. I mean, we're never, season three may never happen of mayor of Kingsdown. And it could be another 18 years from now before we finally see it.

So, you know, it's kind of disappointing in that I'm, you know, there's not going to be a season three for quite some time. And I would have liked it to have ended a little differently. But they didn't ask me. They didn't call me. They should have emailed me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'd have been happy to, you know, take a, take the call. I could have, you know, message me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR.

Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. And Jeremy, if you need a cameo, I'm here for you. You know, if you're busy rehabbing and you want a cameo, you can just reach out to me. It won't be free. I'm going to have to charge you some money for Cameo. That's the way it works. Cameo is kind of like, it's my new ad campaign for Cameo.

Cameo is my Pimp. And so you have to, if you go to Cameo at Jeffie JFR, then I get a cut from the Pint. or, you know, sending you a message. It could be happy, sad, glad, whatever, whatever the case is, it's out there for you. I did get an email at chewing the fat of the blaze.com that said the next time I compare myself to a sex worker,

please remember to say, love you longtime Joe. Well, I mean, come on now. It's a different type of sex work. But it is sex work. So maybe, maybe you're right there, Edward. I just don't know that to be true. And then I got some more emails.

Actually, I went through the, emails quite a few emails today I also have a joke of the day from an email from Michael that we will use I got an email telling me that Fredericksburg Texas is a charming little town and that if you don't like the average activities in that town you can go down to the dance hall in Lucanbach Texas don't even get me started singing that stupid song and then I got an email from Tanya about the royals talking about Harry and Megan, didn't they relinquish their titles? Yeah, they had a big fight over the titles, but they get to keep them forever.

It's their deal. They're the prince and princesses. They just, you know, he's second in line for the throne. I mean, he's the second son, right? But I don't know that he ever gets it. I don't know if that, you know, that will ever happen. William will cough COVID on Harry before that happens. He's got William and his son are the next in line baby.

I don't even know if Harry, I mean, technically Harry, Harry's still in line, but not really. That's not going to happen. And it's not going to happen with Megan around. I'll tell you that. He used to go back to the... All reports about them coming back to the coronation, who knows.

They need to be there. There's no doubt about that. Well, he does. I would perfectly happy with Harry going and Megan staying back with the kids. But she won't allow that to happen because she's not going to let them

get their hooks into hairy when she's not around. That is not going to happen. No matter where they're staying, they can't stay at their little stupid Frogmore cottage because Dad took that away from them. They gave them, they're trading places with the brother. Charles wants Andrew out of the castle

and sent him off to Frogmore. And he said, yeah, they can just have Andrew's place. And if they come here, they can stay in Andrew's place as long as he is not in the same. dwelling as me. I know he's my brother, but I don't like them and I don't want them around. So, you know, we'll see what happens

with all of that. And then I saw where HBO, speaking of shows, I see where HBO shared a new look of True Detective. I love True Detective. They've done a great job with that. There's a new one coming out with Jody Foster Knight Country.

Looks really good. You know, we've had the ones with Matthew McConaughey and Wood Harrelson and Vince Vaughn and Michelle Ali. I mean, awesome. So this features Foster as Detective Liz Navvers. Works along Kelly Race to find a group of men who have disappeared from an Alaska research facility.

The photo shared by HBO of the two actors on set makes the new season look equally cold and mysterious. Yeah, it looks really cold because I don't know, it's in Alaska. And when you're in Alaska, it's cool. cold. So according to this, the two detectives must unravel the town's history in order to

fully unravel the truth behind their case. And that's about all they had to say about the new show, the new true detective. So we have that to look forward to anyway, night country. And that's what happens with murder. I mean, Matt Locke said it best. Murder is a messy business.

And when you're in a small town like that, everyone has a secret. And things start to unrues. travel quickly. I can just write these stupid shows. I love them so much. I love them. Oh, and one last email from Dixie. Dixie emailed Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

In her email, and I have not confirmed this, but I'm just reading what the email says. 1923 has signed for five years. Apparently, her sister rents some stuff in Montana, and that work is still ongoing. in this email says Harrison Ford is arrogant, flies to the set in his helicopter every morning. Yeah, I mean, did you see him last night at the Oscars? He's such a, I don't even that. I understand that. And I guess people are a little unhappy with the Hollywood people out there in Montana,

but I bet they love the business brought to the, about to the company, I'll tell you that. And also, Dixie talks about Jeremy Renner, who has a home. I know where his home is, duh. Apparently, the reason that it saved his life is because ran over him and the snow was like a, you know, soft bed for him, which is why he didn't die when the old cat ran over him. Okay, whatever the case is, it's going to be a Y. See, that right there? I don't care about it.

I'm glad he's still alive, but because there's a possibility of other Jeremy Renner work to be done still. still but the show that I care about last mayor of kingstown is now over two seasons and i need him to be up and working to get me three or four to get me a couple more seasons left and let's wrap this thing up uh and that needs to happen that's all i care about okay all right thank you from searchlight pictures comes rental family only in theaters november 21st earning rave reviews at tiff rental family is emotional, funny, and the feel-good movie of the year. Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser stars as a lonely American actor living in Tokyo who struggles to find purpose until he starts working for a Japanese rental family agency. Along the way, he forges some surprising human connections and

discovers unexpected joys within his built-in family. Experience rental family, only in theaters November 21st. So who died today? Who died today? Costa Titch. Of course, you know who cost the titch is he's the south african rapper he has passed away at the age of 28 after collapsing on stage at a festival so don't look at me like that i know what your first thought is we don't know that we don't know that we just know that the footage showed him stumbling and falling on the ground during his set and they helped him up on his feet and he continued to perform and finished a track and then a few seconds later he fell down for a second time.

So, I know, I know, I know. The 28-year-olds are dropping all the time. Like Costa Titch. So rest in peace, Costa Titch, dead at the age of 28.

We also have, who else who died today? Bud Grant. Bud Grant, dead at the age of 95. He was a Hall of Fame coach, led the Minnesota Vikings to four Super Bowl appearances.

Never won one, though. I was looking at some of his stats. He reached the playoffs 20 times, played in 10 championship games, and won four titles. However, none of those titles, yeah, he didn't ever won a Super Bowl with the Minnesota Vikings.

So there you go, but he was synonymous with the Vikings and also with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And remember, not long ago, during the playoffs or the end of the season, I just remember watching a Minnesota Vikings game, and Bud Graham, Grant was up in the up in one of the boxes and they showed him on they showed him on TV like there's Bud Grant.

He's 95 or maybe he was 94 then. I don't know. And I was like, wow, Bud Grant is still alive. I couldn't believe it. Seriously, I was like, holy cow, we may even talk about it here on the show because I was like, holy cow, Bud Grant is still hanging around. Well, he's still hanging around, but now for much longer. So rest in peace, Bud Grant, dead at the age of 95. Now, speaking of Minnesota, we have a man who is dead at the age of 77. His name is Lawrence V. Scully. Now, Lawrence, who had previously been convicted of molesting a child way back in 1979,

Levi Axel, a 27-year-old, just walked into the police station of Minnesota, covered in blood, and confessed to beating a man with a shovel 15 to 20 times, and using a moose antler to finish. him off. Okay, dude, calmed out. No, he would not calm down. And maybe if I thought this guy was doing something to my daughter, I may grab a shovel

myself. I don't have any moose antlers to grab but a shovel for sure. So he told police that he had known Scully for a considerable time and suspected him of sexually offending against children in the past. He filed a protection against Scully a couple years ago

and then that was later dropped after several weeks. Oh, Okay, so a witness heard screaming and reported that the individual was driving to the police station, and he drove to the police depa station and confessed. So he's in prison or jail now, a million dollar bond. His attorneys said he's a flight risk, or the state's attorneys said he's a flight risk. He previously, they used this as why he's a flight risk. He previously had been found guilty of disorderly conduct and underage drinking.

both misdemeanors in 2014. Come on now. The guy, you know, there's got to be evidence of this guy. Maybe there isn't. Maybe the guy, maybe he just lost his mind over the 77-year-old Lawrence v. Scully. Maybe Levi couldn't take it anymore. And he just thought he was praying on these little kids.

But if there's evidence that the Scully 77-year-old was making moves on little kids, I don't know that there's a jury around that's going to convict old Levi. So they'll probably work out some kind of deal. So Levi will definitely, I mean, you can't go on punished for killing a guy. If Levi, if Lawrence was not in the act of molesting a child at the time of getting beaten, you know, you've got to kind of do your time for murdering someone, don't you? Don't you? No?

Okay. Well, never mind. of the hoity-toity. I see speaking to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, you know, both at the Oscars last night, I see where they are beefing up security at their Australian home,

the Southern Highlands estate. They have now got approval for a gatehouse at the Bunya Hill Farm. The gatehouse is going to cost about $32,000, $33,000. I'll probably come in at about 50 once they're done. And the Appalachian

was approved by the council, so they're going to have security guards on the premises when their home. Huh. All right. So not when they're not there. We're just going to lock it up. It's not worried about it, right? They have, right now they also hire portable entry gates for the property, as well as portable toilet facility for the security guards when staying on the farm. Oh, okay. So the guards are still there when they're there, but now they have a place for them. See, they're so nice. That's so nice of them. The place is, uh, well, Well, it's kind of dumpy. I don't know that anybody could actually live there.

It's on 45 hectares. It has traditional sandstone verandas, pressed metal ceilings, a grand carved cedar staircase, and 10 original marble fireplaces. Since buying the dump, Keith and Nicole have installed an 18-meter swimming pool, a gym, and a full-sized tennis court.

The home is also surrounded by large grass mounds to block out prying eyes. They also own several properties in North Sydney's exclusive latitude building. Yeah, well, that place in North Sydney, that's because when they go into the city, they need a place to stay. So they bought one place, a penthouse apartment, I don't know, 10 or 11 years ago. And then they bought adjoining penthouses later, and then they made this huge mega apartment. So that was only for 13, 14 million, something like that. I don't even worry about it. All right?

Just stop wine. Look at your whining. If you got to meet them in the city, you're going to have to meet them in their building, okay? But the picture of their home is pretty sweet. Pretty sweet. I mean, I don't know where they stayed when they were in town for the Oscars. Maybe they didn't stay at all.

Maybe they just flew in. They stayed. They got a little room to change in. And then they hopped on a plane and flew back to Australia. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they Airbnbed. some one bedroom join up in the hills of Hollywood for the Oscars, but probably not.

Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts, so you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes, too. And hustled all those wishless,

Topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift for good stuff. Okay, I am so fascinated by this Michael Irving case. I don't know who to believe.

I want to believe Michael Irvin. But I, and, okay, so let's say that what this lady claims is true. Okay. How terrible is it? Okay, so, I mean, nothing physical actually happened, right? So, Irvin then sued for $100 million and damages from the Jane Doe involved as well as the Marriott, right? Okay. Now, Irvin says this is like modern day lynching takes me back to when a, I'll have to wear a white woman,

would accuse a black man of something, and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law and run in the barn and put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hanging by a tree. Okay, Michael, calm down. Okay. Does it remind you of that? Maybe you ought to rethink why it reminds you that. Okay, Mike, calm down a little bit. Marriott

filed the motion to dismiss the suit. They claimed that the unnamed a victim made a complaint about Irvin making unwanted sexual advances. Okay, asking the employee if she knew anything about having a big black man inside of her. Now, the Marriott

wrote, Irving's counsel, you know, of course, I've provided an inaccurate summary of the video footage. So let's see the footage. The judge, they delayed the footage. The judge was pissed, told him to get Irvin the video footage immediately. They also claimed that the former NFL player was the one who made this about race, not the victim. Okay. The video portrayed to the court allegedly shows Irving reaching out and touching the victim's arm their conversation during their

conversation without her consent. Okay. So you're talking to someone, you reach out and touch their arm. Is that? All right. All right, without her consent. They pointed out that Jane Doe was noticeably uncomfortable and attempted to leave the situation at various moments.

According to the lawsuit, two other hotel employees reportedly noticed their co-worker in an uncomfortable state when she returned to work. Are we ruining this man's career for? someone who felt uncomfortable? I guess we are. I guess we are. Now, the accuser went to work the next day,

reported the incident to her manager, because you couldn't report it, you know, at the time because you're too shook up. And she told, they told her to take her complaint to loss prevention. I guess that's where you need to take those complaints to lost convention. So the filing also claimed that after the alleged incident,

Irvin turned to another employee, saying out loud, she bad, and I want to hit that. before slapping himself in the face three times saying, keep it together, Mike. So, I mean, they're saying that, you know, this did not happen. They denied that. Now, according to this, Irvin was only seen touching the woman four times throughout the video, twice for a handshake to say hello and goodbye,

and two touches on the elbow. She never acts upset. She doesn't act like there's any problems at all. I want to see this video. I want to see it for myself. I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know what was so terrible about it. The NFL investigator showed up at the hotel

and asked if the victim was willing to speak to her. The accuser agreed to the interview, and that's when the NFL investigator has seen the video. I guess they allowed her to see it at the, at the hotel. And following the review of the video, the NFL investigator escalated the matter and additional NFL personnel quickly arrived at the hotel.

The Marriott's lawyers say that the league made the decision to remove Irving from the hotel. Okay. And they sent him home from the NFL network's coverage of the Super Bowl. So, I mean, Michael maintains his innocent. He said, I don't even remember it really because I had a few drinks. tell you the truth. Okay, so already he's admitted there that he was, he had a few drinks. So

he doesn't, you know, nothing happened. I want to see the video because, okay, let's say, let's say for the sake of argument, you and I, we're sitting down, we're talking, okay? And we're saying he made her feel uncomfortable. Is that worth a career? I guess in today's world it is. I guess it is. I guess. And according to this, you know, she attempted to back away. He continued to harass her. He attempted to grab the victim's hand,

said he was sorry, brought up bad memories for her. The victim pulled her hand away, tried to back away. I'd like to see the video. However, you know, Irvin's attorneys say that's hogwash. And there's eyewitnesses

and Michael's own testimony as well as common sense. We'll release the video next week. there is no sexual assault. The fact Marriott is taking the position that it is an insult to all the true female victims out there. I kind of feel that way. I'm on Michael's side here,

but I do want to see the video. And we're never really going to know, right? We're only going to know what she said and he said, and he says, and he already admitted that he had a few drinks. And that, so he does, you know, we have to question a little bit of the validity, of what he said, the validity of what he said.

I might have had a few drinks at all. And so we'll see. I can't wait to see the video. I want to believe Michael. I don't know why. I just kind of do. But if it's true, do you, I mean, this guy, this is a big deal. A huge deal, right?

Because if he's found, if they, you know, throw this case out for the $100 million, and they find that he, you know, if they said, well, yeah, it looks like. like he actually did say that. I mean, I would say to that, so she felt uncomfortable. Oh, damn. Should he ruin his career because of that? I guess, maybe, I don't know.

Does that, there certainly hasn't been more people coming out of the woodwork saying what a douchebag Michael Irving has been to them. Right? So you would think that if he is that much of a douchebag to actually do that, to someone working at a hotel, that's not the first time that's happened.

It just isn't. It just doesn't happen overnight. And Michael's been around the block a few times. So I'm sure he's treated people badly over the years. But has he been aggressive and actually tried to have some sort of sexual harassment to other women or men in the past? you would think that if that was the case,

that they would be coming out of the woodwork right now, and that isn't the case. So, I mean, unless people start coming out of the woodwork saying, yeah, Michael, Michael did that to me, too. I was in a hotel in Bikipsey, and Michael was there for the NFL network, and he tried to ask me the same question. He asked you what?

Well, he asked you, you know anything about having a big black man inside of you? I just... Okay. All right. Okay, so that story really wasn't family-friendly. Well, I mean, that's okay. I didn't break too many non-family rules there because, you know, I don't forget the email I got from O'Toodle's talking about

that we have to have family-friendly shows now. O'Toole's pissed at me, driving the kids around. So she's probably really mad at me now. And I say she, I'm getting. I'm guessing. It's a she. I don't know. Could be a heat. But just know this is joke of the day is coming. Sent to me over the same email address, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And it's a big guy joke. Okay. So we're going from a big guy story to a big guy joke. So if the kids are in the back seat, wait till you drop them off. Okay. Pause it now. Wait till you drop them off. Okay.

A patient and his doctor are walking in the halls of a hospital. Did you pause? yet or you're going to listen? The kids have their headphones on in the back. You okay? All right. I'm just, I'm concerned about you. Okay. I've got my hand on your shoulder, on your elbow now. You can pull away. Oh, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. Oh, man. That's the last thing I want was to make you feel uncomfortable. So a patient and a doctor, go ahead and pause it. A patient and his doctor are walking the halls of the hospital. They come to a room where a dude is taken care of business on himself.

The patient says, Doc, why is he doing that? The doctor says, oh, that man has a medical condition where he doesn't ejaculate once an hour. His testicles will explode. They walk past a few more rooms and they find themselves at a room

where a dude is receiving business from a nurse. And the patient asks, Doc, what's that guy's issue? and the doctor responds, well, you remember the guy down the hall? That's the same condition. Better insurance plan.
