Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. A reminder that you really don't own anything that you pay for online. PlayStation users were recently informed that discovery content they purchased, you purchased, via the PlayStation store, would no longer be accessible to users, you know, you, and would be removed from your libraries.
Starting point is 00:01:02 PlayStation and Sony are talking about TV shows that users spent money on to specifically access, and now poof! It's going away, we're taking it away. Sorry about it. The message
Starting point is 00:01:16 to users went something like this. Due to our content licensing arrangements with content providers, you will no longer be able to watch any of your previously purchased discovery content, and the content will be removed from your video library.
Starting point is 00:01:34 So it's about 1,200 titles in total. I think some of the bigger shows were probably Cake Boss and Deadliest Catch, Dirtiest Jobs, Myth Busters, stuff like that, but there's 1,200 shows. And they're just going to be gone. And right now, there's no mention of refunding any of your money. There's no mention of, hey, we're going to move it over here, and you can still watch it here,
Starting point is 00:02:01 it's just going to go away. And it's just going to be, hey, that's the rules. That's what you signed up for when you okayed to download it onto your device. So have a nice day. Just remember, all those shows and movies you paid for, they're not really yours.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Welcome. I didn't make the rules. I didn't do that. I think about that every time I watch a movie on my device that I've downloaded. They've got the whole platform of all the shows and movies that we've paid for and they can go away like that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 And obviously, PlayStation and Discovery are proving that thought correctly. So just, I don't know, I guess still buy DVDs, but those are going away, right? stores aren't going to be carrying them anymore after the first of the year. I think Best Buy said they're not, well, we're not carrying DVDs.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yeah, it was Best Buy. I don't have it in front of me, but it was Best Buy who said, yeah, after the first year. We're not going to be selling DVDs. Nobody's buying them. DVDs. And so, okay, all right. We'll download everything and it just, you'll own nothing and be happy about it, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:16 All right. We got that clear now? All right. Welcome to Chewing the Fats. I don't know why this story is making the rounds again. Well, I mean, it's a terrible story, but Jen Royce. from Montana. Remember this?
Starting point is 00:03:33 We did this story. This was months ago. She was floating down the Jefferson River with some friends. And in this story, it says she was attacked by the animal, by the otters. But the original story, three women were attacked by this otter or otters. And the one, Jen was flown to the hospital. She was hurt the worst. I guess one woman spotted one or two otters.
Starting point is 00:04:01 and one of the otters swam over and just decided to attack them. But it's not funny. I mean, she had some serious damage. Her face was just whipped apart, ear ripped off. She had several surgeries to reconstruct her face. I mean, it's been horrible. Now, there's only been, according to this story, 59 estimated otter attacks.
Starting point is 00:04:31 with injuries, you know, worldwide. I would say we talk, I remember talking about this at the time because even if you're, you know, lazily going down a Montana river, perhaps, oh look, here comes an otter. Yeah, and maybe you give them, maybe you give them the,
Starting point is 00:04:54 oh, look, here comes an otter. And then you just wait. And if the otter doesn't make that tail, make him go backwards. man. Yeah. We're putting it down. It's got to go down.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And then he just don't say anything. Just let that dead otter float out there and let the other otters see the dead otter. Like, it's going to happen to you. They'll be coming swimming next to my boat, okay? That's just me, though. I mean, I'm sure that the animal lovers would all be against that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 How dare you? The animal, look, I mean, she did some serious damage. She had to have reconstruction surgery to her face. So the other women, obviously, were not hurt as bad, but they hurt three humans. Humans first. Humans first. Well, I think the reason that we're back into talking about Jen and her attack was that she now revealed that she attended an otter burning party weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Now, when I first read that, I thought, thank you we're trapping otters and we're teaching those otters a lesson all right oh look there's thank you there's a pit of otters
Starting point is 00:06:11 and I want all the other otters to watch those otters burn okay I want that to happen I want those otters to know don't attack humans but no that's not not what she was doing there's a picture of it
Starting point is 00:06:24 she's got like stuffed otters stuffed animals that look like otters that they're throwing it grill. Very disappointed in Jen. Very disappointed in Jen. But, you know, if it helps her get over her trauma, I guess, okay. It is hilarious to see the stuffed otters in the fire, though, because that's definitely,
Starting point is 00:06:50 I want to see the pit of otters. I do. I want to, I want to, first thing, you grab, you take one otter that you, from the river that tried to attack you. You know the one you shot and you let float out there for a while? You brag that in. And you have the other outers follow you. And then you just burn that bad boy.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Oh, look. Don't be attacking humans anymore. They'll get it. They'll understand. Believe me. So according to this study, this expert, I don't know that she quotes a study, but she claims that 30% of young men say they have not had sex in over a year
Starting point is 00:07:31 and don't seem to care. Okay, so my first thought to that is, well, if you ask someone who hasn't had sex in a while, and I don't care, and that's all I think about. They say they don't care. They do, okay,
Starting point is 00:07:47 for sure. But this financial expert analysis, analyst, analyst from Fox business, she believed that because with the increased legalization of sports betting across the United States
Starting point is 00:08:08 it's got far-reaching effects I believe that the focus has been placed on addiction and the impact of the games themselves but she says hold up no it's a sports betting and that's why
Starting point is 00:08:29 We have a lack of young men getting married, dating, or even having sex. Meredith Whitney on CNB. Did I say Fox and I apologize? CNBC's squawk. She believes that young men aren't as interested in meeting women and starting a family as they used to be because they're too busy betting on their phones. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I'd like to take care of a little time with you, but hold on. I've got to bet this parlay in an NFL game. That's not happening. I'm sorry, no. That is not happening. And if it is, if you have a mail that you want to have business with and he's betting, let's say he has his phone in his hand and he's making his parlay bet for the NFL, if you were to go up there and
Starting point is 00:09:30 I need to spend a little bit of time. It's just you. Why don't you put that phone down? Bet on me for a second, okay? Yeah. You could split the bet right here. Anyway, so he's going to stop betting. It's going to stop betting.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Or she. They're going to stop betting. betting. Okay, it's going to have, they'll take a break. They might get back to it, but the sex will still happen. That's just me. I'm not an expert analyst on squawk for CNBC. I'm just taking a shot that that's possible. So according to this, the negative impact is that with pure research, okay, says that 63% of young men are single, okay? And that's the highest it's ever been. 50% of those young men have no interest in dating, not even casually.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Well, when you say dating, see now we've got the Tinder, you're swiping left, you're swiping right, we're not counting that as dating. Dating means you have to go out to dinner and talk. If I swipe right on someone, they just come to the house and we take care of a little business. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Swiping right, if the music starts playing. 30% of young men say they have not had sex in over a year and don't seem to care. Okay. So, according to Whitney, the U.S. is experiencing the lowest housing formation growth rate since such data was collected more than 60 years ago. And if men aren't forming families, well, yeah, duh. I mean, the birth rate needs to get up, too. There's no question about that.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Otherwise, we're not a country anymore. partly because they're too busy placing same game parlays. That could prove problematic for housing market in which 74% of the inventory is currently owned by people over 50 who are they going to sell to when they go to sell? Yeah, well, it's not going to be Joey because Joey don't want a wife. And Joey's busy making same game parlays.
Starting point is 00:11:48 And they're making it easier and easier to bet. During the games too. they're making it easier and easier to bet. So you can, you know, if I, oh, he's going to score a touchdown, bet. So, I mean, that's pretty amazing. You know what? Seriously, I read this and I think, well, I don't know, maybe she's got, she can make, because she makes a pretty good case.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I just find it hard to believe that, look, if you're, if you're betting, if you're betting, you know, if the big, I guess everybody's losing, right? I mean, the company has got to be making money or they would be. doing the business. So not everyone is winning. Because if you're winning, you are ready to get Millie. Yeah. I just want 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Why don't you slide on in here? I mean, that's what's happening, right? But if you lose 10 grand, I mean, Millie doesn't even want to. You're not having sex because you don't want to. You're having sex because she doesn't want to. No, a loser. I was expecting a new ring. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:52 You just lost 10 grand. How about you hop sing and try to find out a way to make another 10 grand quickly to come and satisfy me? So maybe the case is there. So if you know someone, never gamble more than you have. Always, you know, if you need help, seek help. But always make safe bets. There. Did I disclaim that enough?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah. Okay. There's plenty of places you still can't bet. I can't bet here in Texas. It's very disappointing. You know, unless I were to, let's say I knew someone that, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:30 an IP address outside of Texas. I can gamble that way. I wouldn't do that, though. Not me. Do surrey. So I see the headline where pediatricians are now recommending goat milk formula for infants.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Uh, okay. So that means products made with goat milk are good for you and better for you. And that's where Quinn Pittman's goat soap comes in. That's right. Quinn Pittman. Go to QPgoatsoap.com. I mean, handmaid is the difference between homemade and store-bought for anything.
Starting point is 00:14:17 And raw goat milk makes our soap special. and I say our soap. I'm talking about Quinn Pittman and his family making the Quinn Pittman goat soap. Okay. It's bar none the best. They've got a selection of men's fragrances of handmade soap. They've got tons of ladies' favorites. They have different scents throughout the year.
Starting point is 00:14:43 We're coming into the holidays now. They have the shampoo bars. They have the laundry soap. Go to QP goat soap. And see what my man Quinn has been making and find out for yourself just how good it is. Because most people who buy soap from the store don't even realize what it's doing to their skin. The store bought soap, get you clean, sure, but it's also drying out your skin. And what happens then?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Well, then you have to buy, oh, I know, the product made from the same company that made the shampoo to soften your skin. Well, soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way. and with goat's milk that's made the right way and that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap like seven or eight years ago we talked to him he was like nine years old
Starting point is 00:15:29 I mean he's 1617 now it's Quinn Pittman the goat king he has created an empire his parents apparently do not appreciate his excellency the king but I'm just telling you that he is

You can also order a cameo from me at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. I see where since July we're finding this out about cameo and I don't think this has happened to me
Starting point is 00:17:30 but it was possible I guess since July an unknown Russian group has been buying and doctoring cameos from celebrities and they mentioned it here Mike Tyson Elijah Wood and at least five others
Starting point is 00:17:47 I don't know that I'm in I don't know if I'm in one of those five others You know, it's doubtful. It's doubtful. But apparently, they doctor the videos. So they customize messages get manipulated to appear to endorse
Starting point is 00:18:08 a Kremlin-pedaled false claim that Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelenskyy suffers from drug and alcohol abuse. So the targeted selects were paid to encourage someone named Vladimir. which I have never never I've never done a cameo for
Starting point is 00:18:24 Vladimir that I remember and I look at least Elijah Wood got one hi Vladimir Elijah here I hope you can get the help you need so the videos look like the celebs had posted them on their Instagram feeds have spread throughout
Starting point is 00:18:44 Russian media and so okay I don't just saying I don't think that's happened to me I don't want it to happen to me. And so if your name is Vladimir, make sure you say in your, and when you're ordering it, hey, I'm Vladimir,
Starting point is 00:18:58 I won't doctor this, because I'm sure the Russian bots would never say, I won't doctor this, positive on that. And so you just let me know, whether you want to be happy, sad, mad, mean, glad, whatever you need.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Whatever you need from me, Vlad, I'm here for you at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. On my Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, I post a license plate of the day a lot. I see license plates on the road that are highlighted. I'd be like the last one I posted a Texas plate, N-J-L-F.
Starting point is 00:19:31 So N-S-J-O-Y-S-L-F, N-J-Y-L-F, enjoy life. And, you know, it just makes me laugh. You know, the one before that was R-R-R-R-R-O-A-S-A-T-S-E-H-R-O. It could be Scooby. I don't know. I just ask to pose the questions. Anyway, I like a license plate of the day.
Starting point is 00:19:54 It makes me laugh. So people send me license plates now from all over the country. Sometimes I use them. Sometimes I don't. I love them. And so the vanity plates. And this picture came through. It's been making the rounds on social media.
Starting point is 00:20:10 I see that people send it to me on Facebook. People send it on Instagram. I know that it's, you know, people are seeing it and it's making the algorithm. send show up so then the people send me more of it but it's kind of cool and i i love the dedication behind this particular shot all right now it's from illinois it's an illinois license plate but and it's a honda element all right i kind of i to be honest i don't mind the honda elements i don't even know if they make them anymore i don't know i don't see very many on the road so i don't know how long
Starting point is 00:20:43 they lasted uh you know they weren't probably very durable but i liked them when they came out I thought they were, I thought they were cute and they looked fine. The Honda Elements. So on the left side where it says element, they've taken off the T and it just says LMOP.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Okay, LMOP. I love that. It's funny. Along the, along, and then above that, it has stickers put on, A, B, C, D, EFG. The Honda logo H is the H. And then then I-J-K.
Starting point is 00:21:20 The license plate is an Illinois plate that is Q-R-S-T-U-V. Then next to that are stickers of letters W-X-Y-Z. That takes some dedication and some work. So good job. Good work.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Good work on that. And I haven't posted it yet. Just because I've seen it everywhere, which means everyone has seen it. But I probably should post it and say, you know, good work. But then that would be nice, and I don't know that I want to be that nice. Yesterday we mentioned that Apple is now worth $3 trillion.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Congratulations to Apple. But I see today where a 10-year-old boy is calling on this $3 trillion company to redesign what he's calling what he's calling the offensive nerd emoji. Why does it look like you? Uh, yeah, the 10-year-old Teddy from England has initiated a campaign urging Apple to redesign its nerd face emoji. Uh, Teddy, a proud glasses wearer, finds the current emoji offensive and insulting due to its portrayal of prominent front teeth. So Teddy looks a lot like the, uh, a lot like the nerd emoji. And, uh, this is where you, the parent comes in. Okay. Uh, if you, you, the parent comes in, okay. If you are a parent of a teddy,
Starting point is 00:22:52 you just tell them, be happy with your nerd self and just tell people that the nerd emoji is you. You don't want people to change it. Own it. You know it looks like you. You know you're a nerd. Own it.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I don't know how difficult that is. So you're letting your kid try to get a $3 trillion dollar company to change an emoji because the nerd face is offensive tough you a little brat no I mean
Starting point is 00:23:27 maybe you don't yell at him and call him a little brat but maybe you do say yeah it's not going to happen Teddy okay take it easy all right now here's redesigned oh that's good he's got a redesign
Starting point is 00:23:44 he made one for him Ah, it's great. His redesigned emoji that he calls the genius emoji there's a surprise features thin lenses, thin frames and a small smiley face
Starting point is 00:23:59 steering away from what he describes as horrible rabbit teeth. And then it shows a picture of Teddy and Teddy looks just like the emoji. So Teddy Teddy, baby, I love you, Ted. You know, you're our son.
Starting point is 00:24:15 We love you. But that emoji was made because of you to look like you. All right, they're not going to change it because they love the way you look. You be the nerd. You nerd you. Okay, Teddy? Then just go away and we don't want to talk to you anymore. Okay, because you're just too nerdy.
Starting point is 00:24:37 With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Ammit. The headline. The headline, exercise may not be the key to living longer. It might even be aging you faster. Here, let me reread that headline. Exercise may not be the key to living longer.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It might even be aging you faster. I don't want to read any more into the story. I don't want to find out that, you know, that it's all, you know, Not enough is wrong. Too much is wrong. Somewhere in the middle. I don't want to hear any of that. All I know is exercise may not be the key to living longer.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Let me age. It might even be aging you faster. So it's all I know. It's all I know. I don't get. Don't bog me down with any more of your facts. Okay, don't do it. I see where Eli Lilly's diabetes drug,
Starting point is 00:26:06 Madgero, performed better for weight loss than Ozempic in a real world study of overweight adults. So now you could get Zepbound, which is Eli Lilly's weight loss drug available in the U.S. as an alternative to Wigave, which is the Novo Nordisk. but I just find it interesting that it's all available now. It was worth anything to anyone, but good luck finding it, because everybody's struggling to find it.
Starting point is 00:26:43 But if you can find it and it helps you lose weight, bless your heart. And speaking of drugs, I see where CVS is, speaking of drugs, I wish I had some. CVS is overhauling how it prices prescription drugs. In an announcement, the company promised that its new model would be more transparent than the current setup, which prices drugs based on complex reimbursement formulas that could make up the cost of prescriptions confusing for consumers. The new model called CBS Cost Vantage is based on a simple equation. Drugs will cost what CBS paid for them, plus a limited markup in a flat fee to cover the source.
Starting point is 00:27:30 services of fulfilling the prescriptions. How do you make any money? What are we doing? That's similar to a plan proposed by billionaire Mark Cuban, founder of cost plus drugs to bring accountability to drug pricing in the U.S. You still have to make, the companies still have to make some kind of money, but they're not going to stay open. And CBS, look at the money they waste on the receipts. Those things are like 80 feet long.
Starting point is 00:27:54 So, I mean, maybe that's their first step. We cut down on the old receipt tape. We're killing a lot of trees every day at the local CBS stores, man. Maybe they work on that. But I digress. That's not what we're talking about here. So, okay, well, good. I mean, I never was a big fan of CBS anyway,
Starting point is 00:28:12 but maybe, you know, with their cost advantage, it'll be better. And we'll see. But I highly doubt it. You're where my man Chevy Chase fell off the stage, and I don't think it was an act. He's 80 now. And apparently he fell.
Starting point is 00:28:30 off a stage at a Christmas vacation event after arriving in a wheelchair. So he showed up in a wheelchair and then he fell off the stage. So apparently I mean this is how he makes his money now, right? As he's still 80s out and he still hawking
Starting point is 00:28:46 his wares. Good for him. And he shows up especially this time of year. This is Christmas vacation world. This money making time for Chevy, right? So he was greeting fans at Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo New York and who doesn't love
Starting point is 00:29:02 She's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, New York. I've never been there, so I'm just teasing okay, you buffaloonians. So he entered the stage for a Q&A session following a screening of National Lampoon's Christmas vacation.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah, this is how he makes his money, goes around. And takes questions from people and we watch the movie and boy, wasn't I young man and wasn't I handsome? And look how agile I am. And oh yeah, we had a great time there. And that seems, in there you may look like we had a good time but it really sucked and I hated her at the time
Starting point is 00:29:34 stuff like that to be good stuff so he's in a wheelchair he quickly stood up and began walking toward the crowd oh oh and off the stage he goes I mean that as for an 80 year old if Biden did that he would not get back up
Starting point is 00:29:49 I mean it would be tough but eventually he got back up on stage with the assist from his wife and the moderator so yeah I mean people the they helped him back up on stage no kidding you all right it's your old ass back up here what are you doing so the audience chuckled then when chase's smart watch called him out for the fall that's kind of funny had the mic on the smart watch calls him out he did the event with an ice
Starting point is 00:30:17 pack nursing his knee and stuck around though that took some picks with the fans and answered questions awesome he's now he was we're reported now that that he just he's doing fine. He bruised his knee. He said the comedian blamed the stage lights and simply misjudged the edge of the stage when walking out. Who among us?
Starting point is 00:30:42 Who among us? You know, that's for sure. That's happened. Now, he's been photographed in a wheelchair more than once. And there were people who are like, whoa, he's in a wheelchair? But they're saying, this is what they say now.
Starting point is 00:30:57 they're reporting this, not me. The Chevy Chase people are reporting this. His health is amazing, and his tour, a live conversation with Chevy Chase, has been selling out across the country. Has it? Has it, though?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Okay. Maybe it has. He sometimes uses the chair due to all the airport travel. So he's got, what he's doing is he's handicapped, just rolling through the airport, baby. I'm not walking through the... I do not blame him for that.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That is a good move. That is a smart move. And you get in a wheelchair and just get taken where you got to go. And the airlines provide people that will do it for you. Sometimes you've got to wait a little longer. Not for me, of course,
Starting point is 00:31:43 but I just know that it happens. Sometimes the airlines take a little longer if you don't have your own person. But they eventually show up. And it's kind of a smooth way to get through the airport. You just ride through the terminals man you're good to go and so he gives behind the scene details of course behind the
Starting point is 00:32:02 holiday classic takes questions and of course in 2021 which i had forgotten about he had he suffered a big heart attack he had a massive heart attack and he was in the hospital for five weeks five weeks after a heart attack where's the tylonal i mean i had when i had uh my heart event they kick you're fine now get out uh no way he was in there for five weeks holy cow. That's a long time. He jokes about the doctors removed my heart. I didn't need it. It's much
Starting point is 00:32:34 better now. Ha ha ha ha. That's funny. That's funny. How about you watch where you're walking, old man? Let's watch where you're walking. So I just let you know he's okay. I know if any of you were concerned, especially those of you that, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:50 showed up at the Shays Performing Arts Center there in Buffalo in New York, just know he's okay. Everything's fine. And thanks for coming. Okay, so it's not a who died today, but it's probably going to be
Starting point is 00:33:05 too soon. Judge Frank Caprio, who is 87 now, he stars, you know, in the TV show, and we've seen all the clips online caught in Providence, and he was, you know, he
Starting point is 00:33:21 has a courtroom, you know, he has people, he takes people, weird sentences and talks he has his bailiff there and they do a little show well he is really sick now uh he has got cancer of the pancreas and uh which i mean he's not people don't people don't live from that i mean i'm sure yes they do jeff and they will okay all right if you say so but normally that's a terrible terrible form of cancer and you fight with all your might
Starting point is 00:34:00 but you normally don't win so he's you know his treatment has begun and he knows it's going to be a long road and he's just requested fans to pray for him during his treatment so I am just throwing it out there that you should pray for him
Starting point is 00:34:16 and I know prayers do come through but probably going to up in who died today. We all are, Jeff. I know. Okay. I'll stop now. And we all may end up in who died today if we're flying because you see the big expose about drunk and asleep on the job. Air traffic controllers push to the brink.
Starting point is 00:34:47 How about no? Let's not do that. The nationwide shortage of controllers. has resulted in an exhausted and demoralized workforce that is increasingly prone to making dangerous mistakes. Now, I don't know what mistakes those are. I have not heard of, you know, plane crashes. We've had some accidents.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I know, we've had some accidents on the tarmac. We've had, you know, a few planes on the tarmac. I'm sure maybe we've had near misses happen. but according to this one air traffic controller went into work drunk this summer and joked about making big money buzzed
Starting point is 00:35:32 after routinely smoking marijuana during breaks a third employee right go ahead flight 422 don't mind me flight 444 you stay right on your track you got it you're okay oh man
Starting point is 00:35:54 those lights on those planes are looking really cool Aren't they? Stay right there, 24. Yeah, you're clear to land. Go ahead. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I mean, 244, take off.
Starting point is 00:36:15 244, take off. 2.44-4-take-off. It's not funny. It's not funny at all. We could be in trouble. Aircrafting controllers just smoking dope and drinking on the job. No, thank you. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Those are jobs that are supposed to be, not supposed to be not buzzed. They're tough enough as it is. I've been forced to work six days a week, 10 hours a day. Okay, so first, I guess that's bad if you're an air traffic controller. Okay, I don't know that it is.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I'm taking your word for it, that six days a week, 10 hours a day, looking at those screens and airports and flights taking off and landing and coming and going. staying at whatever altitude you want them to stay and making sure that everything is right is difficult. So let's say that it's supposed to be
Starting point is 00:37:13 five days, eight hours a day. I hope that's the case. All right. It's only supposed to be six hours. Our union says six hours. Okay, whatever. But I feel like I'm not, I don't feel so bad for six days, ten hours.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Oh, I mean, we've all worked days like that in times like that, our whole lives. and so maybe you just I don't know butch up a little and as soon as the day is over you know let's say
Starting point is 00:37:45 you just got done that's it you're clear to land flight 444 then you head up on the roof oh what are you doing are you working
Starting point is 00:38:04 nope I'm off now just sitting here on top of the old Air traffic control building. Catching the buzz, looking at the flights coming and going. Back off me. Maybe we work that way. I know.

Starting point is 00:43:26 Chippole? Now, they made a big deal about the Chippole deal. She threw the burrito and the judge censor to work at a fast food restaurant because the video showed her be raiding this person at Chippole. And what the reason why didn't pick that one, I actually thought it was going to be that one. Well, he didn't specify that he's going to work out. Usually that punishment is like, if you do something like you work this specific. You work this specific. So I was like, no, it can't be that, you know, like.
