And now, chewing the fat
with Jeff Fisher.
Okay, residents in
Fort Collins and
other parts of Colorado
have now spotted wild
rabbits with
scary horn-like
and tentacle-shaped
growths protruding
from their heads and faces.
You don't want none of that.
Okay? So,
There's photos showing the animals with black spiny structures resembling like toothpicks or quills coming out of their head.
It's a possible disease.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Really out for the rabbits.
According to wildlife experts, they've revealed that the unsettling condition is caused by chope papillomavirus.
The disease that creates
Wart-like tumors on rabbits
Often around the head, ears, and eyelids
And while the growth may look disturbing
Officials say
They don't pose a threat to humans
Pets or other wildlife
But go ahead and keep your distance
Oh, oh, okay
Sure
Yeah
I know they put it with any harm at all
But go ahead and keep your distance
So according to the experts
the experts.
The virus only spreads between rabbits typically through bites from insects,
mosquitoes and ticks.
Okay.
And the condition is a DNA virus seen most frequently in cotton-tail rabbits of the Midwest
with outbreaks in domestic rabbits.
Now, I will say that seeing this story this morning at about 2 a.m. half asleep,
I read the headline,
Colorado rabbits spotted with scary horns and testicles on their head.
And I thought, what the hell is going on with rabbits?
And then it's, I was bummed because it's only tentacles.
But I will say this.
I will be happy to keep my distance from these rabbits with this disease
because one is hopping around my yard.
First, yeah, I might not even give him a warning.
If you see the rabbit hopping around your yard and he's got testicles,
or tentacles growing out of his head?
Yeah, you're going down.
I mean, there are rabbits on top of rabbits in my neighborhood.
There's rabbits everywhere.
And I have not seen one with testicles or tentacles coming out of its head.
Now, if I do, no, I'm not warning it.
No.
Yeah, you're going down.
The rabbit is done for her.
Okay, I'm sorry, it's over.
I love, well, that's a big ass rabbit.
I will say this, that I find it interesting that, of course, they don't pose a threat to humans or pets or other wildlife, but go ahead and keep your distance.
That concerns me.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
So the AI startup perplexity, love them.
They've made an unsolicited 34.5.
billion dollar all-cash bid to acquire Google's Chrome browser.
Wow.
Okay.
Is that going to happen?
I don't know.
I mean, Google's Chrome browser claims to have 3 billion users worldwide.
I believe that.
The bid comes as a federal court considers whether to force Google to divest key assets,
including Chrome.
After ruling last year that the company holds in,
illegal monopoly in search and digital advertising.
No, but they do it the best.
A decision on potential remedies is expected this month.
Google, which is appealing the ruling, has shown no willingness to sell.
Yeah, I mean, no way.
However, I will say, $34.5 billion, all cash.
Perplexity, what do you need from me?
I'm here for you.
So Perplexity already offers Comet, which is an AI-powered browser, that can perform tasks for users.
Acquiring Chrome would be vastly expand perplexity's user base, really, and strengthen its position against competitors.
Open AI, which is developing its own AI-enabled browser, has also expressed interest in buying Chrome.
Have they offered a $34.5 billion all-cash bid?
I don't think so.
Could they?
Probably.
So perplexity's bid includes
$3 billion in investments
over two years for Chrome and Chromium,
maintaining its open source status
and keeping Google search as the default.
Weird.
The company says it's all cash offer,
backed by investors,
and exceeding its own $18 billion valuation.
So they're not even worth $18 billion, $34 billion.
Interesting.
So they're taking care of it.
this to sidestep any potential antitrust challenges.
Uh-huh.
I don't think Google's going to sell.
Not unless they get their hand forced by this judge,
which doesn't look like that's going to happen at least for a while.
I mean, they obviously say, like,
you know, a company holds an illegal monopoly and search and digital advertising.
Well, that's because they're the best doing it.
And the 3 billion people that are using it, I'm sorry,
the 3 billion users that are using it,
And is that real? Is that number real?
I mean, are the, there's bots commenting, posting on bots,
who's posting on bots on all kinds of social media accounts now.
So are bots using the browser so that it ups the user count?
I don't know.
Don't look at me like that.
I just, I don't know.
But I just don't see Google getting rid of Chrome.
Hello.
I mean, even if they, I don't know how they would go about,
doing that. But that's, if they're getting, if perplexity is offering them 34.5 billion.
And Open AI has not made an offer, but obviously they're interested. And these companies are
willing to pay tens of billions of dollars cash for the browser. You know how much money Google
makes from that browser? It's a lot more than that. A lot more than that. So good luck. Good luck.
I just be, you know, if you're a Google Chrome browser user,
I'm pretty sure it's still going to be available for a little while
before it turns into something else.
But for now, for now you'll be okay.
All right, let's talk a little crime.
I saw where the cryptocurrency entrepreneur,
Kwan Duhayung, better known as Du Kuan,
pleaded guilty yesterday.
Is it Du Kwan or Du Wan?
it's KWON.
If I missed pronouncing the cryptocurrency
scammer's last name,
I apologize.
Amorca Phallis.
Yeah, he doesn't pronounce it like that.
So anyway, he pled guilty
yesterday to federal conspiracy
and wire fraud charges.
This is three years after his company's
collapse, wiped out over
$40 billion
in investor assets.
So,
KWON,
co-founded Terraform Labs,
in 2018, creating a digital currency he claimed was pegged to the U.S. dollar.
Okay, a type of stable coin.
That promise unraveled in May of 2022 when a wave of withdrawal sent the currency's value to zero.
The federal government accused KWON of misleading investors about the stability and value of
Terraform's currency.
Okay.
So under yesterday's plea deal, KWON, will forfeit 9.5.
19.3 million and several properties.
Prosecutors may also seek up to a 12-year prison sentence
at his December 11th sentencing.
After serving half his time,
the 33-year-old may be eligible to serve the rest
in his native South Korea,
where he faces further criminal charges.
So he hasn't even been sentenced yet,
but they're treating it like he will be sentenced to this 12-year term.
Okay.
The deal is separate from a 4.5 billion.
billion-dollar civil settlement, KWO-1N,
and Terraform reached with the U.S. government last year.
So he's already given up $4.5 billion.
Now he's going to have to forfeit another $19.3 million and several properties.
I mean, a lot of people lost a lot of money from this guy,
and now he's paying for it.
And any of these people recoup any of their money?
I mean, I feel like it's good luck,
God bless, from their deal with Kwan Du Hymn or Du Quang.
Is it quang?
Or is it Guang?
It's due.
K-W-O-N.
Bonzai!
Bonzai!
He is most definitely not saying that on his way to prison.
That is not happening.
Then we have what, well, one person is considering
a crime. A Hawaii real estate investor and broker are suing Shohay Otani,
Los Angeles Dodgers baseball superstar, and his agent have got them,
I believe that these two, Otani and his agent, got them fired, the Hawaii real estate
investor and the broker from a $240 million luxury housing development on the big
islands coveted
Hapuna Coast.
I love the
Hapuna Coast, man.
It is beautiful.
That they bought
so that they brought
Shohei in to endorse
it.
All right?
So they brought
Shohei in to endorse it.
And according to
lawsuit, filed
in Hawaii Circuit Court,
Otani's agent
Nez Balletio,
but I think it's
Balletlo.
Nez Bellelho.
Increasingly demanded
concessions from
developer Kevin Jaye's
senior and real estate broker Tomoko Masumato,
before demanding that their business partner,
this King's Barn Realty Capital,
dropped them from the deal.
So they just got rid of this.
We need to get rid of these guys.
These guys suck.
We'll just take it over.
Oh.
We just brought you in to, you know, be a spokesperson
and help us get the thing.
Now we'll just take it over.
So the suit accuses Otani and Belello
of torturous interference.
unjust enrichment.
Boy, I hate that so much.
Oh my gosh.
You just can't have unjust enrichment.
Hay is a developer, a 40-year-s experience,
and Matsamoto, who was to be the listing agent
for houses averaging $17.3 million each.
Nice.
Say that Otani and Boledo
tried to undermine their interests in a second neighboring venture.
So nobody is available for comment about this fight,
but really it's all about rich guys fighting rich guys over who's going to get more rich.
Who is going to have more?
Hold on.
What's the term I'm looking for?
Unjust enrichment.
You can't have that.
Can't have it.
Just can't have it.
I don't care if you're Shohei or Donnie or not.
You can't have.
it. And if you do have unjust enrichment, it better be for me, not you. If it's for me, then it's
okay. But if it's you against me, then it's not okay. Like, let's say if Shohey wanted to, you know,
send me, you know, a little something in my PayPal at Jeffey's CTF. And that would be
unjust enrichment. But I'd be okay with it because my PayPal would just accept it. And I would say
I might not even respond with the, hey, thanks, show hey.
I might just, you know, send a thumbs up emoji and we'd be good.
But until that happens, he better not have any on Justin Richmond.
I'll tell you that.
It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.
Well, almost, almost anything.

There's a new theory about dating apps.
And it's interesting because their main focus is they believe that men need to lower their standards on dating apps.
few hateful bastards.
Huh.
They were really,
where they,
apparently men are
trying to date out of their league
and that's unacceptable.
So,
on dating apps,
80% of women
are pursuing
the top 20% of men.
But new research reveals
it's actually
fellas.
That's what they say in the story.
Sorry,
I don't call guys fellas.
It's actually,
it's actually fellas,
uh,
who are aiming too high.
when swiping for love.
Is it?
Is that the problem?
Okay.
So international researchers
analyzed the behaviors
of almost 3,000 heterosexual users
of a Czech dating app.
And I love the Czech dating apps.
Eastern Block, though, I'm a fan.
With their findings published earlier this week.
Okay.
So men tended to express interest in women
who were more desirable than themselves,
while women typically pursued men of more similar desirability.
Okay.
So the women were either, yeah, yeah, he's okay.
I can change him.
Or he's a way, whoa, that guy, I feel sorry for him.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and date him.
Okay.
All right.
So to classify how desirable each user was,
researchers counted the number of swipes they received from other people
on the app.
There were more male users,
meaning that female users
generally ranked more highly
in this hierarchy.
Yeah, of course.
Despite the choice, research revealed
that women sometimes
chose slightly less desirable partners
on average.
Because they knew, look,
I've got to get a little business,
and I don't care what he looks like.
I don't want to have...
That's right.
I don't want to have to go through this dance.
I just want somebody to come over
and dance.
So swipe right.
Yeah, you're fine tonight.
Okay, after tonight,
get out, okay?
And if men did that, that's a problem.
But women, it's good.
Okay, I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
Thus, to avoid feeling frustrated and rejected
when using dating apps,
the research suggests that men should be
realistic about their own desirability
and not attempt to date out of their league.
Well, if they weren't attempting to date out of their league,
then the hot chick who's come down that night to you,
your low self, come down and said,
yeah, I feel bad for that guy.
I'm going to swipe right,
and we're going to take care of a little business with him tonight.
Then he wouldn't be having business tonight
because he'd be trying to hook up with this other girl
who wants to, we need to talk.
Business.
We need to talk, and we need to get together and meet.
No.
Not tonight.
Not tonight.
I just want to swipe right and have some business.
Okay?
That's what I need to happen.
Okay?
That's all I want.
That's all I want.
Now, some of the things that I was just looking at another article about what to say and what not to say on dating apps.
Okay.
So you're not supposed to say, you know, you're supposed to be, it's supposed to be a sincere and personalized message.
Okay.
And that needs to be a conversation.
But the opening message really matters on dating apps.
ain't nobody got time for that
Does it? Does the opening
message really matter on a dating app?
Like, what if I just said
Go ahead and swipe right, I'm here for you.
Am I getting that?
That might work.
That might work.
Anyway, you're not supposed to say
Hey or hi.
Oh, okay.
What are I supposed to say?
Yo, yo, yo, yo, my bitch.
What's that?
Bonzai!
Bonzai!
That might work, actually.
So you're not supposed to say,
you're hot.
Plus, you need to come down a little bit.
That's the way out of your league.
If someone, if you're typing you're hot,
that means she's out of your league.
You need to drop it down a little bit.
Lower your expectations, okay?
Overly sexual innuendos.
Yeah, don't do those.
Those are just dumb.
I don't really date Brunette's, but you're hot.
That might work, actually.
They're telling me not to type that, but, you know.
I don't really date brunettes.
Think he could go blonde by 10 p.m.?
Because I could be over by then.
I don't want a cheap wig.
I want the actual hair dye.
Think that's going to happen?
You're not supposed to.
to say, what are you doing right now?
Why?
You wouldn't walk up to a stranger at a bar and greet them by asking them what they are doing.
So don't do it online.
These are people who aren't taking dating very seriously.
What should you say if you're on the receiving end?
Well, if you don't walk up to people at a bar and say, what are you doing right now?
Because you know what they're doing right now.
They're having a drink and waiting for you to buy.
one because she's standing there
sucking on her ice
waiting for someone to buy her a free drink.
Anyway, that's another story.
Anyway, so maybe you would.
If you walk up to someone at a bar
and you hear,
and now you're doing, what are you doing right now?
What are you doing? What are you doing right now?
You want to continue to suck on that straw
or that ice or
you want to come back to my place?
Yeah.
No, it might work, actually.
And then you're not supposed to say, why are you here?
We're all here for the same reason on the dating app, bra.
Okay, we know why you're here, all right?
I'm here to eat.
Oh, no, no one on him.
So why better than that.
Keep going.
What to say instead.
Okay, so here you go.
Let's help some people out here.
What are my eight things?
Let's see.
You learn, lean into your playful side.
Oh, okay.
Show your personality.
Being light and flirty works well.
Okay, match their energy level.
You don't know their energy level.
It's really strange that they give you,
they're trying to tell you, let's see,
best opening messages show genuine interest and thoughtfulness.
They're personalized, friendly, and flirty without crossing any lines.
and show you're interested in a natural organic way without feeling performative.
Oh, okay.
So, um, hi, really enjoyed the way you looked happy in your picture.
Can I make you happy to?
No, that's wrong.
I was supposed to say that?
No, oh, okay.
Sorry, let's, no, never mind.
Never mind.
Swipe left.
Swipe left.
All right, let's go to the break room.
going to swipe right on the break room.
That's what I'm going to do right now because I need a drink desperately.
And that's what happens.
That's what happens.
At 10, you're kind of picky.
You're, nope, nope, nope.
And by 1130, you're like, man, that one guy I passed about three left to go, I'm going to settle for him.
And then you got to go all the way around because you can't go back.
So the would, the kind of bees, the would bes, the kind of, that maybe's, you got to swipe right on.
so that, you know, you don't really mean it, but by 1130, they're still in the pile.
And you're going back, you're going back to, you're going back to the babies.
So, I mean, that's the way it works.
They're dating abs, Jeff.
They aren't just hooking up dads.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got, I got it.
All right, let's go to break room.
So, if you're listening live,
Today is the 13th of August 2025.
And Friday starts the new movie round.
And so we have Nobody 2 with Bob Odenkirk.
The first one was really good.
I enjoyed the heck out of that.
But I didn't see it to the theater.
And I don't know that I want to see it at the theater.
I just want it sent to my home.
Okay.
I want to watch it sent to my home.
But I remember watching the first one in my home.
nobody, which is really good.
So, I mean, it's worth a watch.
I like the premise.
He's a badass, but he's trying to be a family guy.
And, you know, he works for the government and, you know, that kind of thing.
Under the radar, just one of those black, dark guys.
That's under the radar.
It lives in the shadows.
And so now he's going to go on vacation and it's going to be a whole thing.
Almost like Chevy Jason's vacation.
Only with Odenkirk being a badass instead of a fool.
I'm sure that's the way they wrote the script.
Anyway, then we have Sidney's new movie.
And here's the deal.
Of course Sidney Sweeney has a movie coming out.
Of course she does.
She's everywhere.
Why wouldn't she have a movie coming out?
I mean, it only makes sense.
It's called Americana.
It's got Paul Walter Houser and Halsey in it.
It also, since it is,
about, it has Indians in it
because it's about, in South Dakota,
it takes place in South Dakota, and
the lives of local
outsiders and outcasts
violently,
I can't even say that word, the lives
of local outsiders and outcasts
violently intertwine
when a rare Lakota ghost
shirt falls onto the black
market in this small
South Dakota town. So it
has to do with Indians.
So of course, my man,
Zan McLarenin is in the movie.
He's in everything that if you have a Indian,
I'm sorry, Native American.
If you have Native Americans in your movie,
Zan has to be in it.
The guy's made a fortune.
Being a bad guy, being a good guy,
it's awesome.
I love him.
I do love his work.
No, there's no question.
But, I mean, he is awesome.
So he has courses in the movie.
I watch the trailer.
It looks,
eh, okay.
Yeah, okay.
I got it.
I understand the premise behind,
and there's going to be some violence
and some sexual innuendo.
And, you know, it's rated R.
So, you know, they say in,
as they talk about the movie,
there's violence, language, and sexual references.
All right, I'm in.
But, you know, I get it.
I get it.
But I want the story to be good.
And, you know, it's about the, you know,
the Dakota ghost shirt.
I'm sorry, the La Cota.
It's not the Dakota.
Calm down.
It's the La Cota ghost shirt.
And so it's based around that.
So that'll be fun.
Am I willing to see that at the theater?
Again, no.
Will I see it at my house?
Yes, absolutely.
And I know I'm willing to maybe look at the Sydney-Sweeney-only fans,
but I don't want to go to the theater.
and have it forced down my throat.
Okay.
I want to know what I'm getting
in the only fan's performance.
We have also our news that Daniel Day Lewis,
those names you haven't heard in a while,
is set to return in his first movie since retiring eight years ago.
So how's that retirement going, Daniel?
Everybody forgot who you are?
Yeah, okay.
So in this drama Anamon,
directed by his son,
Ronan Day Lewis.
So he's going to come back and star.
Well, wait a minute.
Now, I just want to come down.
I say he returns, but is he going to be a star?
Has emerged from his retirement
and a first-look photo from the new film Anonymous.
A project from Focus Features is set to have its world premiere
at the New York Film Festival in September.
Wow, he's already shot this thing then.
And marks the return of the three-time Oscar winner
after an eight-year retirement.
Yeah, yeah, he was great.
I mean, he was superb in his roles.
Love him in his roles, no question.
So this is from his son.
His son's got the directorial debut.
The official description of Anamone calls the film
an absorbing family drama about lives undone
by seemingly irreconcilable legacies
of political and personal violence.
Set in Northern England,
it's already going to be agonizing.
The film follows a middle-aged man who sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods,
where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother, Day Lewis,
bonded by a mysterious, complicated past.
The men share a fraught, if occasionally, tender relationship,
one that was forever altered by shattering events decades earlier.
So do we get the flashbacks?
If they have money, if they have money to spend, we'll get the flashbacks.
of the bad things that happened
when they were younger, right?
That's what you want.
Then that costs money.
That's where some movies fail
is that they don't have the money.
So they go out in the performance
of Daniel Day and this other Dingleberry
playing his brother,
will be great and they'll be struggling
with going through all these bad things.
But if we as an audience don't know
what they went through with the flashback scenes,
then there's nothing to it.
And that costs a fortune for films
to be made these days.
That costs a lot of money.
And maybe that changes with AI.
I'm not saying they should be using AI.
I'm just saying maybe that changes.
But good for Daniel Day coming back for his son,
and I'm sure it'll be great.
Oh, speaking of films,
the new M&M movie.
Is that coming out now or is that out?
I think that's out now, right?
When does that movie come out?
Yeah, it came out last week, so or the week before, whatever.
It's Eminem's Stan's documentary.
But you apparently can get a popcorn, you know,
everybody has their designer popcorn buckets for their films.
You can get the Eminem designer popcorn bucket
that looks like a prescription pill bottle.
That's got the top, the push and twist,
and it's got the prescription on it.
It says a take to get out of bed is the prescription on the,
of the dark kind of cool kind of cool so i mean you don't have to and plus the thing is here's the
thing here's the thing when you go to the movie theater to see a movie you don't have to be going
to that one to buy that particular popcorn bucket they don't ask you are you going to that movie
no they say oh yes right here it'll be 150 000 and did you want popcorn in it oh that's
160 000 and that's what they that's the only thing that they care about now would probably
be the time if you wanted to put money down and on a bet. The bet would be whether Beyonce
would become an Egot winner or not. Okay, so you got to have an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar,
and a Tony to be an Egot winner, okay? And right now, Beyonce has a Grammy and an Emmy. She just
won an Emmy for, she just wanted Emmy for, I think it was a costume design.
for her show.
All right, relax, okay.
But, but, and she was not,
she was already been nominated for an Oscar,
but she didn't win.
That was a couple of years.
It was two or three years ago.
So, um,
right now it would be the time to make the bet of how long it takes
Beyonce to become an Egot winner because you know she,
and she's halfway there.
She has to win an Oscar and a Tony.
That will happen.
They will find a way.
Do you think Jay-Z isn't going to find a way?
to get Queen Bay an Oscar and a Tony so that she is an egot winner.
Stop it.
Under five years.
I'm under.
I'm under five.
Under five, the queen has an egot.
So she's only got to do something in the movies and something on Broadway and we're good.
Under five years.
That's my bet.
I'll take the over.
No way.
That's my bet.
Five years.
You can take whatever you want.
I'm telling. That's what I'm saying.
Do take, make your own bet.
But I'm saying, if it were me making the bet, under five.

Okay, who died today?
Who died today?
Let's begin with Danielle Spencer.
Daniel Spencer.
Don't look at me like that.
You know who she is.
She was a child star.
From the television show, you remember her.
What's Happening?
She's dead at the age of 60.
I remember that stupid show.
What's happening?
And she was great in it.
She had a lengthy cancer battle.
So it's very sad that she is finally
that she had finally passed away at the age of 60 years old.
And so rest in peace to Danielle Spencer.
I was looking at, she had a tough life, man.
She was a star when she got injured a couple times.
And then she was injured.
And then she came back to what's happening.
I mean, the series was from 76 to 79.
So it was on for three years.
That was at the same time as that's my mama.
and all of those shows was
Welcome Back Cotter, I think may have been in on that.
I mean, I was thinking, I was thinking originally
that this was, that this was, that's my mama
because it got me thinking about coming to America.
And when they introduced,
what's his face,
Randy Watson, the singer,
he's introduced as you know him from the what's going down
episode of That's My Mama.
He was Joe the policeman,
Randy Watson.
Sexual chocolate.
Randy Watson.
Anyway, but it's not.
So it's not.
So that's where we're at.
So rest in peace to
Daniel
dead,
the age of 60.
Then we have, well,
I guess we thought he was dead,
but now we know he's dead.
All right.
Who did we think was dead?
now is dead we know for sure uh so apparently uh dennis tink bell
dennis tink bell dead at the age of 25 but we didn't know it for 66 years
because uh he's been discovered by a polish team among rocks exposed by a receding glacier
in antarctica uh so they found him they found well they found
remains and they
brought him back and they had
the DNA checked
and it was Dennis Tink Bell
the 25 year old
meteorologist working in the Falkland Islands
and they found
200 personal items
where they found him
all right
radio equipment
flashlight ski poles
wrist watch
more a knife
Ebonite pipe. I don't know if it was a shelter that gone bad.
If the animals drug everything to a hole and that's where he laid, I don't know.
The last picture they have of them that I saw was he was with other researchers and their dogs.
And so because they had dogs that helped them there when they were, you know, working and searching Antarctica.
And so then I guess 66 years ago, he just disappeared.
and they didn't know what happened to him.
So maybe, I know.
I mean, he's out there for,
that he doesn't say how long he laid in this crevice with all his stuff.
Could have been there forever.
I mean, he might have hung out for, you know,
for years.
He might have been eating handfuls of snow and ice from Antarctica
trying to stay alive,
hoping that someone would find him.
No.
Yeah, they didn't, well, he didn't have that hooked up to him.
Sorry, they should have, though.
So anyway, they've contacted.
Apparently, he has a brother that still lives in Australia.
All right now.
And his brother said we're shocked and amazed.
The British Antarctic Survey and British Antarctic Monument Trust
have been a tremendous support.
And together with the sensitivity of the Polish team and bringing him home
have helped us come to terms with the tragic loss of our brilliant brother.
I'm pretty sure it's been 66 years.
You've come to terms with it.
I mean, did you think he was still alive out there?
Hawking?
We just didn't know.
We could turn the corner and there could be Tink right there.
Just sitting there trying to hawk an apple on a street corner.
We didn't know.
Dennis Tink Bell could be right there.
And we just didn't know for sure.
But now we know that he's dead.
So rest in peace.
to Dennis Tink Bell, dead at the age of 25, 66 years ago.
Then we have a couple of not dead yets.
Okay.
Not who's not dead yet?
Who's not dead yet?
Spirit Airlines.
Dry your eyes.
I know.
I know.
Sit back.
I know.
I'll probably have you.
Go ahead, sit down for a little bit.
Okay.
Okay, I just want to let you know.
Spirit Airlines warns it might not be able to survive without more cash
because, I mean, they just filed Chapter 11 a few months ago.
And so now, you know, they're trying to get out of bankruptcy
and they still need more cash.
So I have a feeling Spirit Airlines may not be around much longer, okay?
Then there's, but they're still, they're not dead yet,
still hanging in, they're begging for cash.
Then Kodak, America's longest running camera company,
said this week that its future is uncertain.
I'm pretty, I'm pretty certain that Kodak's uncertainty has been uncertain for more than a week.
Okay, that's just me.
But, you know, again, so they don't have enough money to pay their debts.
I mean, welcome to the crowd, Kodak, is what I'm saying.
Hello.
I know, I know how that feels, all right?
And I thought I went digital.
And so, and I still can't do it.
Anyway, Kodak has debt coming due within 12 months, does not have committed financing or available liquidity.
And these conditions raise substantial doubt about Kodak's ability to continue.
No kidding.
So they have, they're 130 years old.
They reported a $26 million loss in the most recent quarter down from $26 million profit during the same time.
So they made money last year.
My gosh, I mean, they must have sold off,
but just a ton of stuff.
Kodak tried to calm investors saying it's confident
and can figure out ways to pay off his debt.
You're calming investors saying,
yeah, we don't have enough money to stay open.
But calm down, all right?
What you need to do is calm down
and give us some more money.
Oh, okay.
So they're planning to end its employee pension plan.
which would free up $300 million to go toward its debt,
they better not be dipping into that employee pension fund
because a lot of those companies have done that in the past.
And then you try to get your money out.
You know what? We borrowed against it.
And shit, that's a bad bet.
So you're out your money.
Have a nice day.
I mean, I hope they haven't done that.
And Kodak, which has its roots in printing and chemicals,
has pivoted to pharma in recent years
after winning a government loan to start a drug-making division.
The company is now set to open a pharmaceutical plant this year.
So they may survive.
They may survive.
I mean,
there's guys all over America starting up their own pharmaceutical plants
to make money every day in this country.
If Kodak can't do it, what has this world become?

So I'm scrolling through the socials,
and I see a story that talks about this Cincinnati Open tennis tournament
where the two females are playing.
One, Emma Oratakanu, and against number one in the world,
Ariana Sabolengo.
No, uh, okay, I don't know.
Sorry, sorry, Ariana.
Amorpha fallis.
Yeah, I think that is how she pronounces her last name.
Mariana Sabalekka.
Amorpha fallis.
Yeah, exactly the same thing.
So anyway, they're in this battle, and they've been battling back and forth.
I mean, they had like 13 deuses, and they were battling back and forth, and they were going,
they were really a really good tennis match.
Okay.
Now, in the arena, there was a crying baby that, oh, my gosh, would be agonizing.
First of all, why didn't you get your baby the hell out of there?
All right.
I just want to stop for a moment.
I got it.
You want to come to the tennis match?
No problem.
You want to bring your child?
No problem.
Seriously, I don't have a problem with that.
However, if the child starts getting out of control,
no matter what age, you get them out of that situation,
especially a crying baby at a tennis match.
Because tennis players are a little finicky anyway,
and they got to have silence for their serves.
And it's annoying.
It's annoying for any athlete.
I mean, if you're on golf course and there's babies crying,
but this tennis match has got this baby.
So it's just, it's ringing down into the arena.
I tried to find the audio of the baby.
I can't, but there's the, when finally, when it becomes annoying,
they stop the match.
And Emma looks at the judge like,
killing me here.
And this is their interaction.
Killing me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a child.
Do you want me to send the child out of the stadium?
All right, stop it.
Yes, that's what I want.
Get rid of it.
She doesn't say that, though.
The crowd does.
There are many people in the stands where like, yes.
Yeah, you hear them.
There you go, yes.
Get rid of the kid.
Now, she doesn't say that.
All right, she just shrugs her shoulders,
grabs her towel, turns around,
and, you know, the crying baby's got to go.
Okay, good out.
So then they back.
She ends up losing anyway.
So what a shame.
I know there's a great match.
No, we're not shooting the kid.
Why are what are we doing?
Bumping the gun.
No, we're not cocking the gun for the kid.
At the tennis match. No.
No. No. No. We're not doing that.
No. No.
What is this? Texas?
This is Cincinnati, Ohio.
Oh, wait.
Anyway, we're not doing that.
Anyway, so she
she ends up losing, which is really a battle.
But maybe that's why.
Maybe she should have complained about
a kid. Maybe she should have just sucked it up
and not said a thing and just
continue down with the battle.
Okay? But she
didn't and
well then she didn't. She lost. So
that's the way it goes. I know tough break and they're both
they were both happy with each other's play.
And I don't know what the numbers were. I don't know
who was watching the Cincinnati
open. But
I was not. And so it goes
through. They have the big breakout of the game, of
course. And you know,
I'm happy she's improving.
I'm just happy to get through the match.
Uh-huh.
All right, no problem.
And so it's wonderful.
I just love the fact that parents just think they can bring their baby to this tennis match.
And then that's fine.
And actually, again, I got it.
No problem.
You want to see a tennis match?
Bring the kid.
You know, don't leave the kid in the hot car.
You don't want to leave the kid with the teenager down the street.
Your grandma, you don't want to leave it with your mom because your mom's had enough of them.
So, you know, you bring them with you.
I got it.
But if the kid, you don't want to leave the kid.
kid gets on Rulie, get him the hell out of there, or her, the hell out of there.
You know what this crying baby?
Nobody wants that.
I'm sorry, nobody wants.
You don't even want that, and you're the parent.
So, do you think the tennis players want that?
I just love that she finally, and it was going on for 10 minutes.
You heard her, her, Emma was like, it's been 10 minutes.
I mean, can we, we got to do something, right?
I mean, the parent obviously isn't going to be an adult and get the kid out of here.
And so there's just a helpful hint from me.
Take your kid anywhere you want.
I mean that anywhere.
I took my children wherever I wanted with me.
They're my kids.
They're coming with me.
No, I'm asking my forehead.
I'm asking my forehead.
That's where my headphones are right now in my forehead.
Didn't I forget one of my children in a car?
No.
I never forgot my children in a car.
Okay?
Let's be clear about that.
The story is that I locked the keys in the car with the child in the back of the car.
I didn't forget he was in there.
I just didn't realize that the keys were in there when I locked it getting out.
I was coming around to get him.
I don't forget that he was in there.
He was fine anyway.
So I sounded asleep.
Nobody cared.
The authority certainly cared.
When I said that I've got a kid locked in the back seat of the car,
the entire South Tampa
Police Department and Fire Department
showed up at Tampa International Airport.
I believe it was about level three
at the parking garage
there at the airport.
But it's fine.
Don't even worry about it.
Don't even worry about it.
I did not forget my kid.
Okay? I didn't forget my kid.
I did take him anyway.
Anyway, why am I hearing Steve Dix?
Steve Dase does it. I'm recording right now
in the Blaze Studios.
Steve Dase is not a
on yet. Tell Steve to calm down. His show starts in 30 minutes. If you're listening live,
I'm recording this now. It's 10.29 central time. Dace does not start till 11. Steve can calm the
hell down. Okay. I mean, holy, what is he a crime baby? I've spent 10 minutes now,
all right? Get out of, get over it. I'm out of here. All right, I've had enough. All right,
let's get the joke of the day. All right, you know what? We'll do jokes of the day. I need jokes
of the day. What needs to happen. All right?
I got another email from the family of Ben.
Now, Ben has said some jokes.
He's got the family working on jokes.
He's got the kids.
He's got the wife.
He's got everybody.
So he sent another email.
And he says, I got one here from his 10-year-old twin sons.
And I have one from the wife.
And I have one from him.
So, I mean, the Ben family, working hard for jokes of the day.
Now, that doesn't mean they're good.
But I'm just saying that they're working hard.
All right, they're working on it.
So I've got to, yeah, I'll give them a little bit of love because they're working at it.
All right.
So, Ben, this is his joke.
All right.
What's the strongest thing in the world?
I don't know, Jeff.
What's the strongest thing in the world?
A laxative.
It'll knock the crap out of Superman.
See what I'm saying?
I know.
I know.
I got it.
All right.
This one is from Ezra.
that's one of the 10-year-old twins.
I guess he's the only one working.
The other twin is like, no, I'm not doing it.
You go ahead.
How was the homeless man able to afford to buy the entire United States?
I don't know, Jeff.
How was the homeless man able to buy the entire...
Afford.
Afford to buy the entire United States.
Because it's a free country.
See what Ezra's trying to say is.
you understand.
And this is from Ben's wife,
who I'm sure he loves very much.
And I'm sure that she loves Ben just as much as he loves her.
Absolutely, I believe that.
According to Ben's wife, Brianna,
farts don't stink if you don't smell them.
So I don't know if that's a joke or if that's a statement,
an observation, a thought.
but he wanted to share it in his email to me.
So thanks, Ben, and the family.
I appreciate it.
Keep up the hard work.
And you may be white.
You may be right.
I just, nope, you're not.
