Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So this week, doctors are going to be able to start prescribing Vibrant, approved by the FDA last year. The drug-free pill could help an estimated 9 to 20% of Americans who suffer from a chronic constipation.

And yes, women are at least one and a half times more likely than men to deal with chronic constipation. So the disposable capsule vibrates once it hits the large intestine, stimulating the nerve cells and helping nudge the muscles that move food along and then passes through

once it's done making its way through the old pipes. I have just a couple of questions. You know, good if this helps someone who has suffered. suffering from chronic constipation. You don't want none of that. I got it.

Good. I hope vibrant works for you. But I was wondering, like, what happens if I take more than one vibrant at a time? How much vibrating do I do? Where does the vibrating happen? How long does it vibrate in your system and how far down does it vibrate? because if I take multiple vibrance and it vibrates all the way down,

you know, all the way down, I mean, now you're vibrating inside all the way down. Yeah, you might as well go ahead and get a couple more refills on that vibrant. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So good news for Walmart, I guess, a federal judge in Chicago, has dismissed a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Walmart of deceiving shoppers by selling fudge, mint cookies that lacked fudge and mint.

So Eugene de Maso of LaSalle, Illinois, said packaging of the cookies sold under Wal-Mint. Walmart's great value label misled reasonable consumers because the cookies, fudge, contained no milk fat, and its mint contained no mint ingredients. I will say I have eaten Walmart's great value brand mint chocolate cookies, and I did not expect it to be actual fudge and actual mint. And that's what the judge said. The judge said that Judge Mary Rowland, a U.S. District Judge, said no cases showed that consumers expect fudge to contain milk fat. And DeMaso undercutter's argument by asserting that the fudge could contain vegetable oils as Walmart cookies did. Yeah, duh, shouldn't have done that.

Roland also agreed with Walmart that mint promised a flavor, not actual mint. A judge likened the case of lawsuits where courts found that vanilla was not a required ingredient in products such as vanilla ice cream. What mattered was that the products tasted like vanilla. So there you have it if you purchase the Walmart brand fudge mint cookies. It's not milk fat fudge and there's not actual mint. It will just taste like mint. At least that's what you hope. So incredible.

This, the lawyer for DeMaso, the guy that was suing, has filed a lot of lawsuits over vanilla, no problem. And he's filed a bunch of other cases. He said his client is deciding whether to appeal or not. Walmart's happy, of course, blah, blah, blah. They're going to defend all the allegations. The food and beverage industry, the lawsuits against the food and beverage industry, has increased I mean it's amazing

they talk about this one law firm Perkins Coal three has 325 proposed class actions or I mean that's what they had in 2021

that's not what just coming up so I bet it's even more now wow so the class action for the fudge mint cookies were on behalf of 26 U.S. states uh-huh

and the Walmart cookies sold they're sold for like a dollar 89 for 10 ounces and they could have sold for less absent the alleged misleading representations but the judge said no Walmart they're fine nobody expects fudgeman cookies and sadly I agree with that I know that the great value products are I know what I'll just word it this way I think we all all know what to expect from great value products, don't we? So I was all ready to have a little talk with you about sending stories to me over email, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. But then I realized that it's actually what happened. So thank you. I want to thank you for sending stories to me through email, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com,

or comments, no problem. I did get a number of people sending me the story of the Marty, the robot escape from the giant food store in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. Tremendous story. Now, I didn't know Marty existed. He's been there since 2019. He's patrolled the aisles of the giant stores. I guess across the Mid-Atlantic, I guess Marty is part of their stores. I don't know why.

I don't think I knew about him. I'm not really sure what he does. I was looking at the videos of Marty, the robot in the stores, and he just rolls around the stores. He's like one of the vacuum cleaners, you know? The Rumbas. He just rolls around the store, although I don't think he's a vacuum cleaner.

I think he rolls around. They say that he points out to build liquids and other hazards for Hammonds and coworkers to address. At one point in the video, it looks like he's going down the aisle ordering, at least clicking out. When he strolls by an empty space on a shelf, I heard it go, beep. So I don't know if he's ordering the product for that particular item or not. That would be taking jobs away from humans.

Damn him. But the video is talking about how Marty was spotted outside of the store because it's supposed to obviously stay in the store. And the joke was obviously Marty was trying to break free, get out of the grocery store, prison. a hell hole that he was in. And someone posted this 15 second video of Marty, you know, escaping the grocery store. And then they show someone from the grocery store, one of the prison guards, pushing it back into the store. Now, the reason that I started out saying I was going to have a little talk is because I was going to say, when you send me these stories, I need to see the 15 second video of Marty in the parking lot. because every story tells me about the 15 second Facebook video,

but they have a news report about Marty in the grocery store. It's not the Facebook post. But down at the bottom inside the story, there's a highlighted link for the Facebook post. So, all right. So, I mean, I apologize for what I was thinking prior to actually seeing the link in the story. Okay? There.

I've got that off my chest. We're fine. so we don't know what why marty you know what happened why he had the short circuit and got out of the store but marty was going really funny i guess the marty robot program began in 2018 they rolled out the robots throughout pennsylvania it's a paid partnership between giant and a whole del haze usa services company retail business services and j bill's subsisting BADGE of Technologies. The robots soon took over all the Giants 170-plus store locations after their big start in Central PA.

So bringing robotics and AI from a research lab to the sales floor has been very exciting. Hasn't it, though? We've just loved it. Our associates have worked hard to bring this innovation to life with amazing partners. Okay, great. Good for Giant. Happy for you. anyway thank you for sending me the uh the marty video i appreciate it and again i'll go out on a limb

and apologize for what i was thinking although you didn't know what i was thinking but you could have felt what i was thinking because all these stories didn't have the 15 second video but i finally it was in one of the stories sent so thank you so much i appreciate it you can continue to send me stories or comments or whatever you want chewing the fat at the blaze.com. So it's not really a rule to be a subscriber to chewing the fat, but I may have to put it in the rules. When you send the story, you make sure that the act, especially when it's tied to a video, make sure that the link to the video is in your email as well.

And also remember that if you're a subscriber to chewing the fat and you have your headphones on no matter what you're listening to at the time when asked, hey, what are you listening to? You must, as a subscriber to chewing the fat, say chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Those are the rules. You can also follow me on Twitter at Jeff EJFR. Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. On Twitter, I know there were some problems last night on Twitter. There were some problems on the number of apps last night with some internet issues.

I thought, you know, look, I didn't think about it until. after the fact. Like, I went to try to tweet something and it said it wouldn't tweet. But it didn't go away. It just went to my drafts. So I think I tried once or twice and it didn't send.

And then I said, oh, I got to still tweet that tweet. And I tweeted and it went through. So I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was just the room I was in. The Wi-Fi was down or whatever. And then I see where there were actual people were having trouble with tweet debt.

That was before I saw the list of all the other sites. that were having problems. And I thought, oh, tweet deck is down. So then I thought, I wonder if there was just a problem with Twitter. Then a friend of mine called and said he was getting a note that said he had reached his tweet limit for the day. And I thought, interesting.

I wonder if that's all built in. I wonder if that was a trial run from Elon to do that. And he would just say, oh, we're fixing that. Sorry. but I wonder if he's going to start saying if you're using Twitter for free, you're only getting so many tweets a day or a week or a month or whatever. But if you subscribe and get Twitter blue and are verified, then you have unlimited use of Twitter and all our services.

And then I see, which made because that made sense with the tweet deck. If you don't know what tweet deck is, you can have multiple Twitter accounts open and you can also schedule tweets with tweet decks. So you can, and I use it a couple times a week to schedule, like my Chewing the Fat on Pat Wednesday morning, tweet, have that schedule, so I don't have to think about it at 6.15 a.m., stuff like that. And a lot of shows use it that way,

and I have multiple tweets scheduled to tweet. And so, you know, it's just a, it's an easy way to tweet, or you can, you know, run a thread of thoughts and put it on tweet deck and it'll automatically be tweeted. And so I thought, oh, all these people have a problem on tweet deck because if they're doing a trial run on only so many tweets a week or a day or whatever, your tweet limit, then all these people who had all these tweets scheduled are reaching their limit. And so they're not going to be able to tweet.

So it would be more of a problem with Twitter than tweet deck. But it wasn't. It was some internet issue. However, then I see someone posted new Twitter. rules not official yet and i don't you know i'm guessing it's not real but which probably is because it wouldn't surprise me uh 200 dms limit per day group chats included 20 tweet limit per day includes retweets quote tweets and replies four photos or one video per day media tweets are counted separately from the general tweets uh with twitter blue no limits so while i'm not saying that that's

true, I'm saying I absolutely believe that's going to be happening. So if you are a Twitter user and you have, you use it quite a bit, that's coming to a, it's coming to a, coming to a place near you soon. Okay. And I haven't paid yet for Twitter, which, you know, I'm thinking about it because, you know, I'm a legacy verified account. which says it may or may not be notable. So he's letting me keep my blue checkmark, but it's a legacy verified account, which means they'll be coming for me soon.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something called to drink desperately. You know, I was thinking, remember a week, a couple weeks ago, when we had the big video making the rounds from Turkey, this eye of Tehran cloud that looked like an alien cloud or eye of Saran that they claimed was a weather phenomenon over Turkey skies and it looked like a look like an alien cloud. It looked like an upside down flower or maybe even a vagina up in the sky, these huge clouds. Remember where that happened a couple weeks ago?

And then it's amazing that we had these giant earthquakes not long after that showed up. I'm just saying. That's all I'm saying is I'm just saying. So now we've had like 19,000 deaths in Turkey after these earthquakes and they're still pulling people out of the rubble. Just amazing. They just pulled a toddler out of the rubble after three days. I mean, we're getting, I hope everyone that's trapped is still alive and we can rescue them. but we're getting close to a point now where it won't be.

Very sad. So the numbers will rise even more. And we're at 19,000 already. Just horrific. Just horrific. And I see where their president is in big trouble for his slow reaction time to rescue efforts. I didn't feel like it was slow reaction time. But anytime you're in some sort of catastrophe, you know,

everything seems like it's moving slower. than it should. So he's apologizing and saying, hey, no, I promise that nobody will be homeless after this. Oh, okay, cool. All right. Good. Good luck with that.

I see where our man, Pete Davidson, Mr. BDE, they're all happy with him at Taco Bell. Yum Brands exceeded quarterly earnings expectations yesterday. And the fast food giant CEO, David Gibbs, credited a big chunk of that success to the guy who's dating history inspired a million Instagram graphics. Yep. Pete Davidson, big BDE.

You know, we've all seen the Pete Davidson commercial for Taco Bell. I'm sorry. And so they're all trying to, you know, jump on the BDE energy. Fast food breakfast is the most important meal of the day for these fast food restaurants. there's no doubt about that. So they're talking about, you know, at-home crowd is making their way back to the office. Yeah, I mean, we have been.

But workers who start their day of the drive-through are one of the best sources of repeat businesses for fast food chains. And thanks to low prices, ha ha ha ha ha. That's funny. Thanks to low prices. McDonald's is a big believer in breakfast

and, you know, melting things over biscuits for your breakfast. No doubt about that. that. But cheap prices, or I'm sorry, not cheap prices, low prices. That's something I think is questionable. But, you know, we're getting the earnings report this week. I know I saw where, you know, Disney and Pepsi and Chipotle are supposed to, you know, give their earnings report for Q4 and most of the, you know, are supposed to be disappointing. Well, under that list also was Uber. And I was thinking that their earning earnings report probably isn't going to be good, although I'm not really sure. But I just know that my son ordered an Uber from my house to a

restaurant not far from my home. And I can't tell you exactly how far, but let's say it's within two miles, three miles, no more than three miles, maybe two. Okay. And the Uber charged him $27. $27. So they're either, their earnings are going to be through the roof because they're overcharging everyone or they're not going to be quite as good as they had hoped because nobody's paying $27 to go two miles. Okay, that's outrageous.

Outrageous. So something needs to be done. So apparently Warner Brothers is reporting that they're going to keep Discovery Plus as a standalone streaming service rather than roll it into a larger service as planned. Interesting. Interesting. I know that Paramount Plus is removing a handful of shows

before the merger. They have, they're merging with Showtime. It's going to be Paramount Plus Showtime, which is, you know, I'm kind of excited about that, actually. That should be really good. I also saw a couple things. that was surprising to me. NCIS Los Angeles is being canceled.

We have the new Fraser show coming out. I know why I'm talking about these new shows. There was one show, though, that just caught me off guard about... I thought, wait, what? That's an actual show. Oh, yeah. Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates.

There's a story here about Kathy Bates, stepping into Andy Griffith's shoes. Now, you know, Andy Griffith, obviously dead. But he played Matlock. Hello, Ben Matlock. One of my favorite lines is from Matlock. Murder is a messy business. So, Kathy Bates, I guess they're going to reboot Matlock on CBS.

That is, I don't know if that's awesome or not. I don't know. I don't know. I loved, you know, Griffith has Ben Matlock, but I guess Bates is going to play a Madeline Matlock in the reboot. Madeline is driving to reenter a highly esteemed law firm after years away from the workforce. Her subtle disposition and crafty strategies have allowed her to win cases and expose corruption. That's awesome.

That's awesome. So, I mean, I'll have to give it a view. I mean, you got to, you have to watch Matlock. You just have to. Hello. And I haven't watched the show Poker Face yet. Peacock Series. I want to get to it.

I see, you know, they're promoting, obviously, their special guest stars for the show. And John Ratzenberger is on episode two. I guess they have guest appearances in each episode. That's part of the deal with Poker Face. But I'm looking forward. It's a detective series. So, I mean, I'm a big fan of Detective Series.

So we'll see if it's actually worth watching. And I like John Ratsenberg. I mean, so one episode will actually be good. And, you know, I mean, Rotsmberger, my gosh. I know everybody, cheers, cheers, cheers, but that guy's voice work for Pixar has just been incredible. And he's, you know, been amazing work. So it'll be fun to see John.

He's 75 years old now. Woof. That hurts a little, just a little. 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 Amex. Conditions apply. So who died today?

Who died today? Six-time Grammy winner. Bert Baccarach dead at the age of 94. He died of natural causes on today at his home in California. Oscar winner wrote more than 500 songs during his seven decade career.

His last composition was in 2020. He created a new album, first one in 15 years. To keep busy during the pandemic. And I think Michael Keaton summed it up as he posted on his Instagram

legend. So Bert Baccarac, because Michael worked, Baccarac scored the movie Night Shift, which is a tremendous movie. I love that movie. And Baccarac scored that movie, so they worked together many years ago. And he just simply posted legend.

So Baccarac dead at the age of 94. Also, who died today? Saharam Nyech, unknown age, and his camel. Both dead. Unknown age. Apparently, the camel was looking after another camel and trying to take care of a little camel business and broke free and tried to catch up to the other camel.

But Saharam was having nothing to do with that. So he went to try to rein in the camel. And the camel then picked the owner up, Saharam, by the neck, threw him on the car, ground and chewed off his head. That's not funny. Camels are mean. I am well aware of camels being mean, man.

And they get treated, you know, well, like camels. Now there's a video that you can see where at least six people armed with sticks tied to the camel to a tree and then they beat it to death. So the camel should not have bitten Sahara's head. off and that should not have happened. So the village got a hold of the camel and tied him up and then beat the life out of him for Sahara. So the body of Sahara was handed over to his relatives, you know, post-mortem.

There's the body over there, his head's over there. Go ahead and take them. It's not funny. Stop laughing. But the villagers were having none of it. Okay? None of it. You start messing with humans.

We take you down. Amen to that. Humans first. That is the way it should be. Now, they're all wound up in India because the number of camels in the region have been declining. But sorry about it. You know, I don't want the camels to decline either. But if he's going to start hurting humans, he's got to go down.

That's just the way it is. So, Zaharama and Nahyak. and a camel, both of unknown age, dead. Also, another horrible death, actually, who died today. An amateur climber, 23 years of age, Jack Karn, of course, fell to his death. In Snowdonia, which is in the United Kingdom,

he was climbing, and I guess he was a, you know, a talented amateur climber. He and his couple of buddies were going through different mountains or different peaks to climb as they were getting ready to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro later this year. He was up about 30 feet from the ridge of the summit on Gribbon Ridge in Snowdonia, and his handhold gave way, and he fell. His friend said there was no noise. He didn't shout or scream or anything.

he just fell. One second he was there. The next, he wasn't. And they weren't unable to get down to him. So they had a phone signal. They were able to call search and rescue. And, you know, they were able to come and take care of him. Well, you know, rescue him and bring him back to his loved ones.

So after his fall of 600 feet, Jack Carn dead at the age of 23. So I see where Delta is switching on free Wi-Fi for about 80% of his domestic fleet. Why can't they just do free Wi-Fi on 100% of their fleet? Just wondering. So to access free Wi-Fi on Delta flights, if you fly Delta, you're going to need to sign into your Delta Sky. miles frequent flyer account. Hey, but that's free.

Don't worry about it. Once you do, you know, you're going to be able to use VASAT powered internet and the video streaming capable Wi-Fi speeds from takeoff to touchdown. Okay. I guess you have to shut off your device while you take off and while you land because they're still playing that stupid game. But all right, fine. No problem.

JetBlue Airlines give you a free Wi-Fi. American is in trial mode. Yeah, Hawaii. I remember we talked about the Hawaii Airlines is launching free Wi-Fi to all their flights later this year through Starlink, SpaceX Starlink. So it makes sense. Look, you're in troubled times as it is, airlines.

Perhaps you should think about saying, giving as much away as possible. And I think Wi-Fi is one of those things where you're going to be able to give it away. And it will help people think better about you. But hey, that's just me. I also see, I'm speaking of Delta, they're offering their pilots a big raise over three years, almost over 30% raise over three years. Because, I mean, all the carriers are having problems with pilots,

or so they say. you know most of the pilots are pretty young we have done stories about how how the airlines are lowering their standards for pilots because so many pilots retired because of COVID and they were happy to do it now we're hearing that you know we're the the shortages or the I'm sorry the plane delays and cancellations are because of no pilots you know I don't know that I believe that. I don't know that I believe that. I know what they're saying.

I get it. But that's an easy out. That's an easy out. They have condensed their flights down so much and filled the planes up so much that when you end up having to cancel these flights, weather-related, engine-related, clipping each other on the runways, almost running into each other on the runways, whatever the reason, you are going to. it's going to be a domino effect on many flights around the country because if that flight with 300 people on it from Dallas doesn't get to Atlanta well then that flight leaving Atlanta either has to take 300 people from or 200 people from Atlanta that have been on standby and take off and now you've got all these people to worry about or everybody's just sitting

around waiting for a flight to come by. It's just, it's difficult for me to believe that when, how they have rearranged their flight schedules and their, and their flight times, that they have a shortage of pilots. But, you know, I've said it before and I'll say it again. What do I know? This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

And it says, you know, acting weirdly at work can weird out your coworkers. Part of the problem, though, is to know when behavior is considered weird by the standards

of others around you. This may not always be evident, or you might just not care. But since you're reading this, it's assumed you care enough to want to avoid the weirdness at last. I'm sorry, let's read this correctly. It's assumed you care enough to want to avoid the weirdness at least some of the time. Okay, well, I don't know about that. I'm letting you know what they're considering to be weird.

Some of the stuff that they consider, you know, it is all common sense and where you work. There's no question about that. But, you know, first you have to define what's weird, right? You have to define what's weird. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. So they have a long little.

of things that, you know, are what they define as weird at work. And then it drops down to realize that it isn't about you exactly. It's about workplace harmony, conformity, and smooth running. Anything different. Anything that disturbs the status quo can threaten to upend tradition and habit. And that was me, by the way, throwing in the, not that was not in the story. I just was thinking about.

being sheep okay so uh it first it just means that the system's already in place tend to be things your co-workers are uh are wed to to find uh you know easier keep them than to have them be disrupted okay well no uh they know who you're setting the groundwork for you avoid weirdness at your workplace consider your workplace yeah i know we that's what we're talking about So they just talk about tone down your clothing, avoid too much personalization in your workspace, not challenging existing systems. If this is your style of workplace,

acting weirdly can cause you to seem like a bad fit. So again, common sense. I gauge the tone of coworkers around you. Do they like a good laugh now and then? Heck, you're funny, Bob. or are they always heads down and completely focused on tasks they're responsible for? Your first hint that acting weirdly is out of place is to see how coworkers react when you behave in certain ways. You need to pick up the cues now from their initial reactions and decide to repeat that behavior again while at work, whether you want to or not.

Don't do it. Notice when coworkers seem impatient, annoyed, barely tolerating the behavior or ignoring you. They roll your eyes. They're irritated. You need to be attentive when a co-worker speaks frankly about the behavior to you. Hey, you, let me talk to you about you. Be alert to coworkers' eyes glazing over when you talk to them about mittens, the kitten for the 48th time this week. Pick up on the annoyance and the emails sent to you about continuously forwarding jokes to your coworkers.

And stop. Man, come on now. Tone down that wardrobe too. You hear me? I don't want to see you in those leopard prints. All right. It's what's best for the workplace. You can wear fun clothes outside of work.

Sure. You could be you, you know, anytime but now. Okay. And look, you're free to dress however you want. If everyone's wearing a black suit, put on a bright tie. Brighten the place up a little bit with your bright tie. Okay. And don't do yourself.

Don't be yourself if being yourself means being weird in the eyes of others. Don't you dare. Be yourself. If being weird is what's happening. Oh, I got to make sure I read that right. I want to make sure I get it right. Do not be yourself if being yourself means being weird in the eyes of others. So if somebody doesn't like the way you are,

then you should not be that way. Let me just get your own. Maybe just, you know, maybe just become the boss. Maybe let's just become the boss. Maybe that's what needs to happen. Or you could just dial your eccentricities down a notch and zip it over there, okay? Don't joke about sensitive or crude topics.

Yeah, even if you think it's hilarious. At least one co-worker. is bound to be scandalized or offended. Yeah, I mean, that's what happened with Michael Irvin out there at the Super Bowl week, right? We'll get to that in just a second. Tone down to the desk environment. You know what I'm saying?

Keep it down. Bringing that nap tent to work really doesn't work for us. Posters of death metal bands. Probably not approved. So why don't you just, you know, be used? someplace else okay if you want to work here don't be you all right you keep the keep that laptop and a little stapler and some paper and pens on your desk okay and if you catch yourself looking out the window during the day daydreaming maybe you ought to maybe ought to

leave i mean maybe you ought to just uh you know keep your head down and type and do what you're supposed to do okay quit your daydream and keep all your little freaky habits to your your little traits, all the things that your friends and your family think are cute about you, your coworkers don't, okay? So just sit there and zip it. I love this. I mean, this whole thing is nothing but conform. Conform, conform, conform, conform.

Avoid stirring up rebellion. I mean, depending on, let's define rebellion. Okay, let's define that for a moment. But as much as the endless routine, uh, Try, don't avoid trying to turn the workplace into school. Okay. Come to work having taken care of your hygiene. Yeah, amen to that.

Okay, as far as deep in as we're into this right now, I agree with that. Man, put some deodorant on, take a shower, clean up. Nobody wants to smell that. Okay. You heard me. Nobody wants to smell that. Now, they're going to hate you and think you're weird if they come to work and haven't taken care of the hygiene.

you tell them, hey, nobody wants to smell that. But sometimes you got to step up, okay? And maybe you should make plans to make your own change. Okay. Now at the end, this is where we're at. How about you? This is why people start their own businesses, become entrepreneurs, and hunt down workplaces that foster and celebrate creativity, uniqueness, and any shade of weirdness.

Yes. So, right. Otherwise, sit down and zip it. Okay? So I mentioned Michael Irvin. I mean, he's a Cowboys legend. He also broadcasts. He's part of the NFL network.

And he was broadcasting for the NFL network and their Super Bowl coverage. And he was removed. He's been removed from the NFL network's Super Bowl coverage. Michael Irvin, removed from the NFL Super Bowl coverage because there's an allegation of misconduct from a woman he spoke with at a hotel on Sunday night in Arizona.

And they haven't any details about the allegation. I'd like to know what, you know, he claims that he has no idea. He said that he was coming back to the hotel, had a 45-second encounter with this lady. He said, I'm baffled by it. I had a 45-second conversation in the lobby. I got back after going out. I came into the lobby. I talked to somebody. I talked to this girl. I don't know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds. And now, after all of that, now the The NFL just says, I mean, one girl has a complaint and they kick him off the Super Bowl coverage. The complaint better be a good one and there better be documentation is all I'm saying.

And maybe there is. Maybe there is. I mean, it's a hotel lobby. I've got to have some kind of footage of the interaction. And maybe Michael is making light of something that wasn't so light. We may never know, but we will. I guarantee you we will know because the story is. is not going to go away.

So these are the kind of stories I look forward to. Either way. Either way. Because Michael Irma's been around a long time. And I don't recall him getting kicked off broadcasts before. So we'll see. We shall see. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
