And it's also going to have deals for Target, circle members, and college students. And I thought, okay, well, Target is trying to, you know, get their customers back. Good for them.

Starting point is 00:04:18 So a Canadian farmer, owes $82,000 plus for breach of contract after using a thumbs-up emoji in a text. Ha! Okay. Well, according to court documents from the King's Bench of Saskatchewan in March of 2021, while this goes back this far, grain producers with Southwest Terminal Limited sent a text message to grain suppliers wanting to buy full. for $17 a bushel for delivery in October, November, or December of that year. After phone calls with farmers Bob and Chris Actor, SWT drafted a contract for Chris to sell SWT 86 metric tons of flax for $17 a bushel and deliver the flax in November. The SWT rep signed the contract in ink and then sent a photo of the contract
Starting point is 00:05:22 via cell phone to Chris, along with the message, please confirm Flax contract. He responded with a thumbs up emoji. Now, he never delivered the Flax, according to documents, because the price of Flax was $41 a bushel. So seems like that's a little bit more than 17. So the representative said in court documents he'd done at least four other contracts with this person via text.
Starting point is 00:05:51 He said the only difference this time was that it was responded with a thumbs-up emoji instead of, okay, yup, looks good. So according to court documents, he confirmed the thumbs-up emoji, simply confirmed that I received the flag's contract, but was not a confirmation that I agreed with terms of the flex contract. The full terms and condition of the flag's contract were not sent to me, and I understood that the complete contract would follow by fax or email. for me to review and sign. The judge said it appears the deal was at least verbally struck.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Wow. So be careful sending that thumbs up emoji, man. So he owes 82,000 plus interests and cost for failing to deliver the flags. Ha! Now, I will say that he probably sold the flags for $41 a bushel, although, you know, He's not getting any of that money. But the 82,000 is probably, you know, less than what he actually made. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:59 It seems kind of fishy that you would send the thumbs up emoji agreeing to it. I can understand where you might get the idea that the deal was made, although it's not official yet until you sign the contract, right? So why wouldn't you check on that as a company saying, hey, I got the thumbs up. We're good, right? No, you just went with the thumbs up? Weird, weird. And the judge agreed that the thumbs up was a contract.
Starting point is 00:07:32 And that's the agreement. And you okayed the contract. Wow. Be careful about what emojis you send. I would say, yeah, that's Canada. That wouldn't happen here in the U.S. Right. All right, let's go over to Italy.
Starting point is 00:07:51 So I've had this story for quite a while now, and now it's starting to come to an end. The guy that was caught on video, they claimed defacing the Coliseum in Rome. All right. So he was at the Coliseum. And he took a key out and carved Ivan plus Haley 23. On the wall of the Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:08:18 So I was kind of on his side to begin with. I'm like he's just carving or he wants to do have his name in the Coliseum. I mean, who doesn't? I'd love to have my name on the Coliseum. Hello, it's one of the seven wonders of the world. It's the Roman Coliseum. I mean, huge things happened on this planet in that Coliseum. I mean, hello, Gladiator.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I did not know man could build such things. So then I get this letter that he sent to the mayor of the city council and city magistrates. Okay, so this is his apology. Lives in England, and they're looking for a suspended sentence for this guy. I know they want the people in Italy, especially the prosecutor's office or the,
Starting point is 00:09:09 what's his title there? The culture minister, that's right. The Italy's culture minister said that he hoped the perpetrator would be sanctioned according to our laws. Well, okay, good luck with that. But you can go ahead and give him a suspended sentence and find him and see if he sends you money or not. We'll see. But he sent a letter to the people in Italy, right?
Starting point is 00:09:33 The mayor of Rome, the city council and city magistrates. Now I just, I want him to be sentenced. I want him to be dragged back to Rome and put in jail for this. He won't be, obviously. But he wrote his letter saying that he was aware of the gravity of the act committed. and extended heartfelt apologies to the Italians and to the whole world for the damage done to an asset that is, in fact, the heritage of all humanity. He said that I am also aware that similar conduct of my country would have resulted in a much more serious consequences.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Okay. For this reason, I accept all responsibility and will take sincere and concrete efforts to redeem myself phone and make up for the mistake I've made. Now, that sounds fine, but also in the letter, he said that he admitted with deepest embarrassment that it was only after what regrettably happened that I learned of the antiquity of the monument. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:10:42 You're at the Coliseum, and it's only after you get caught, but I mean you posted your video and we saw you carving carving your Ivan plus Haley 23 under the bricks of the Coliseum only after you got busted with that that you realized
Starting point is 00:11:01 that it was of the antiquity of the monument stop it well I don't no one believes that no one I'm sorry you're not there in Rome at the Coliseum wondering boy this is pretty cool I wonder what this is
Starting point is 00:11:17 No, no, you're not. So I know that we've had other people do things to the Coliseum. I mean, we had a Russian tourist was fine, 25,000, received a four-year suspended sentence after he wrote the letter K on the wall of the Coliseum. And then a year later, two American tourists were cited for aggravated damage after they carved their names into the Coliseum. And, you know, I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Now, vandalizing the Coliseum carries fines up to $15,000 and five years in prison. This guy should get that. He should get $15,000 and five years in prison. If he honestly thinks that he didn't know the antiquity of the monument, well, you're fined $15,000 and five years in prison. Maybe you'll learn about the antiquity of the monument even more while you sit in jail and think about Ivan plus Haley 23. I don't normally, you know, want people to go to jail, but come on now. You don't know the Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Stop it. Stop it. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Be sure to follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, and on threads, Jeff Fisher Radio, if you want to use threads. You can always email the show, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.

I'm going to be expanding some more stuff that I do on my YouTube channel. So be sure to follow me there, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always order a cameo. That's not free. but you can order a cameo from me at jeffy jfr just uh you know order the cameo and tell me what you want to be happy sad glad mad mean and i'll do it because cameo's my pimp and i just do what my pimp says
Starting point is 00:13:34 so i see this new trend on tic-tok that really isn't a new trend i mean it's called bed rotting Okay, so bed rotting is a new term on TikTok for just staying in bed all day. Many of us have been doing that for years. I thought that was a couch potato. So it's just different from being a couch potato than just bed rotting. You just stay in bed all day and I don't know, watch TV or do them scroll through your phone or just sleep and rest or take care of business with anyone who is bed rotting with you. Does that count though?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Because if you stay in bed all day, and you are with someone that you want to, you know, you're taking care of a little business. That's not really bed rotting. That's a bad business. So a little bit of difference. But, you know, whatever. If you're bed rotting, just listen to chewing the fat and be sure to enjoy the shows. Okay?
Starting point is 00:14:34 All right, good. I see where Elton finally ended it. The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour is now over. It's delayed. I didn't think of whatever. end, to be honest with you. Started back in 2018 in Pennsylvania, and then he's had 300 and a 33 shows over five years. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:14:56 So he just ended his last show in Sweden this past weekend. So congratulations to Elton for, you know, giving up the touring for to be with his family, which only took five years. And I doubt that this is going to be his final tour, okay? It's just me. Because this tour is to hit a record breaking $900 million ticket sales, which is, you know, incredible. And it's, we'll break Ed Shearons, a divide tour,
Starting point is 00:15:28 which sold $776.4 million worth of tickets. However, Taylor Swift is hot on the heels of breaking that record with the tour that she's her eras tour that's happening right now. they're looking at her bringing in over a billion. So if she beats Elton's record of a billion, Elton may have to go back on tour, just to prove a point. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Look, he wanted to be with his family.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Okay, fine, whatever. Many people believed him. I, sure. Okay, sure. I believe you, Elton. I do, okay? You wanted to be with your kids and your husband and, spend some time and you're
Starting point is 00:16:15 not getting any younger. None of us are. So you wanted to take a little break. I got it, 33 shows before you finally did, but you apparently are going to do that. Now, he said that just because he wanted to give up touring
Starting point is 00:16:33 doesn't mean that he's going to stop writing and making songs. So he still will be working. So it will be plenty of time for him to, you know, jump back on the piano and be left alone from the kids, because I know you want to spend more time with the kids, but I got to write, I got to record. Sorry, I won't be around for a little while.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I've got work to do. He's 76 now, though. Wow, holy cow. So, I mean, he's had an, I love Elton John. I just do. I've always been a huge fan. And he's had 71 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. He's had 29 top 10 hits and nine number one songs.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Just incredible. The guy is amazing. And look, so here's what he could do, right? I'm surprised, I mean, he could say that performing in Vegas at the sphere is not on tour. I'm just performing. and, you know, I'll bring the whole family to Vegas, and I'll buy that building over there, and we can all live in that building,
Starting point is 00:17:50 and then I'll just perform in the sphere for, I don't know, a year, and make a few more hundreds of millions of dollars. So it won't technically be a tour, but he'll still be performing, guaranteed. And maybe it won't be the sphere, now that I think about it, because they're making the big, the moonscape thing, right? and that's supposed to be in a couple of years. So he takes a break, he writes some new stuff,
Starting point is 00:18:16 and then, you know, they have YouTube, or YouTube, not YouTube, U2 performing at the sphere for the first performances. So at the moonscape, they bring in Elton to perform at the moonscape, so Elton can say that he, Rocket Man, performed on the moon. You're welcome, moonscape. Go ahead and use it. all right so i watched uh the first part of a two part second season of lincoln lawyer on netflix so lincoln lawyer has uh five episodes and this is part one of two parts of the final season netflix is really really really ticked me off with this they hooked me on the drug and now they want me to pay more uh their deal was
Starting point is 00:19:04 we download it all we just here's the show you watch it at your own next now well we're at two parts We've got two parts, and you're just going to have to wait. So I watched all five episodes. Now I have to wait until August to watch the final five. Really good. If you haven't seen Lincoln Lawyer, I really like it a lot. And the first season was really good, too. The second season is just as good.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Been really good. You know, Jack Ryan has six episodes of the final season. We have two left that drop next week. They're dropping two episodes a week on Prime. I watched a stupid movie on Netflix called The Outlaws. And I say stupid. It was just a stupid. It was okay.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I think it was supposed to be funnier than it was. Adam Devine stars in it and he's, you know, he's kind of funny. Pierce Bronson was in it. Ellen Barkin. Nina Dobrell, I mean, Julie Haggerty, Richard Kind, Michael Rooker,
Starting point is 00:20:02 all these characters. I mean, I love these guys. And it was just, you know, a comedy, stupid crime comedy. It was good. love Ellen Barker. She looks great, by the way. I know it was, uh, appeared that she was on her way to three cuts to clownface, and she has had some cuts, but she was
Starting point is 00:20:17 great in this movie. I love Ellen. She was great in Animal Kingdom. If you have not seen that on FX, man. Awesome. Uh, really fun. Uh, until they, well, I don't spoil it for you, but until they killed her. And then it was very disappointing. Uh, the last season or two was without Ellen. Although they did
Starting point is 00:20:33 flashbacks to the new Ellen. So, I mean, it was okay. But, uh, anyway, she was great in Animal Kingdom and I love it. So I mean, was it worth the watch? Yeah. Was it as funny as I think they wanted it to be? No, but what are you going to do? It's there. You got to watch it, right? And you can quote me on that. It's there. You got to watch it. Kind of like threads. You know, it's now the fastest growing online platform in history. Apparently they have a hundred million users of meta's threads in less than five days. So that gives it the honor of being the fastest growing online platform in history.
Starting point is 00:21:12 We'll see how long it lasts. If they are taking everyone's information and you can't get rid of it without getting rid of Instagram, people will not be very happy with Zuck. And he got all that, and he only went up in like $1.2 billion in his worth. I mean, Elon spits at that.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Elon went up $8.2 billion in worth last month. So, last week, not a month. Last week, Elon went up 8.2 billion. Zuck only went up 1.2 billion. So, and are they ever going to fight? I mean, everybody is talking about, they're going to fight, they're going to meet in the octagon. It's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I told you, it's not going to happen, okay? It's not going to happen. They may have representatives for them, fight, for charity, something like that, but those two in the ring, I'm sorry. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Marshall's buyers travel
Starting point is 00:22:27 far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Hand-picked the finest sweaters
Starting point is 00:22:39 from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Our buyers have got you covered. Marshal's. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Okay, so who died today? Who died today? First off, Jeffrey Carlson, the actor who played a groundbreaking transgender character, Zoe, in All My Children, dead at the age of 48. We don't know how. There's no cause of death given. So it had to be probably suicide or what you're thinking. Not what I'm thinking. I'm just thinking that he, you know, passed away. But I know what you're thinking.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And it couldn't be that. So rest in peace, Jeffrey Carlson, dead at the age of 48. It doesn't say any cause of death. So it probably was a suicide. But it could also be what you're thinking. but it's not going to say it because I know what you're thinking and it doesn't say that. Okay. So just back off me.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Then we have a doctor, an emergency medicine physician in Syracuse, Dr. Bradley Middleton, Dr. Bradley Middleton, 34 years old, just passed away, just fell over, dropped over in his house. Yeah, I know he's got a family. He's got two young kids. No cause of death was given. Huh. I wonder what it could be. He just dropped over all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:24:26 A 34-year-old physician just drops over. Happens all the time. Oh, okay. You got me. No problem. Very sad. I feel very sorry for the family and the kids. There's a GoFundMe set up.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I mean, if you can help, help. You know, it's horrible. But it is just another, another strange day. since all these deaths don't have any cause reported. So I know that's, I know that's what you're thinking. I got it. Don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I know what you're thinking, but I'm not. I'm not saying that. I'm just telling you the facts of the case. We also had Jamie Fox, speaking of someone who has had medical complications from something. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And they haven't told us. And I know what, again, I know, I can see it in your eyes that's what you're thinking and I I'm not saying that, okay? I'm just saying that people think that but apparently he was out and about this weekend we saw the video of
Starting point is 00:25:29 him on a boat in Chicago waving to people and he was smiling he didn't, you know he wasn't up moving around and you know he looked fine he was just sitting on the boat as they're going through the river and he gives everybody a little smile and a wave
Starting point is 00:25:45 but you know he wasn't It wasn't jumping up and down and waving. So we'll see. I mean, I hope he's doing better. I hope he's recovering and everything is fine. It does seem similar to what's his face from Buffalo? DeMar Hamlin. I mean, just the collapse and then everything's fine and we're not telling you what it is.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It was just some kind of myocarditis issue. I mean, I don't even think they've said that for Jamie. So anyway, it just. It's funny how people are just dropping over and there's no cause. It just happens. I guess it happens all the time, right? Right. So you know me?
Starting point is 00:26:29 I'm a fan of the USPS. Probably shouldn't be, but I am. I've always wanted to be the, well, for years. I mean, I've talked about it before for years. I wanted to be the Postmaster General. Then I found out the board of governors of the people that are in charge. So I wanted to be on the board. But I just was reading a story today about the USPS has four.
Starting point is 00:26:47 452 wayward cremated bodies. Yeah, sometimes things get misplaced. Now, it's kind of misleading because it talks about it's the only way to ship cremated remains. Sometimes the packages get lost. Well, I mean, they're not lost. The Postal Service has them. They've got packages filled with cremated remains
Starting point is 00:27:11 of individuals it can't identify, including one that's been there for more than eight years. So the USPS is the only legal way to ship cremated remains, at least in theory, and they have strict procedures for handling such sensitive and irreplaceable packages, according to the story, right? Remains must be shipped via Priority Mail Express, have a giant orange sticker attached to the side of the box, and the sticker is used to be teal.
Starting point is 00:27:40 They are also supposed to be handled differently than other Priority Mail Express packages. Now, are people sent? remains other ways and not saying that there remains of course there's always going to have that so according to an oig report uh the office of inspector general they found that these procedures are not done between 28 and 50 percent of the time okay which would go uh some way towards explaining the 452 cremated remains that have ended up in the usps's warehouse for lost packages so they're undeliverable and or unidentifiable
Starting point is 00:28:20 and one's been there since 2015 so if you're missing some remains of one of your loved ones or more than one of your loved ones they probably got them and reach out to the USPS and say hey you know your male recovery center
Starting point is 00:28:36 yeah one of those is mine you want to get sent me some pictures do I need to show up I don't know what you have to do to pick up your remains. I guess you have to go and, you know, hello? Yeah, I'm missing my grandma's remains.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So can I come in and take a look at the boxes? All right. So most of the packages that are lost are supposed to be held for 60 days and then they could auction them off on the Gov Deals website in lots or they donate them and recycle them or trash them, but they don't do that
Starting point is 00:29:12 with cremated remains. good. I don't know we're spending all this money keeping these remains. I'm not sure what else we could do. But, you know, if you're missing remains, the Postal Service may have them.
Starting point is 00:29:27 It might have been your fault, might have been their fault, but they have 452 remain boxes that are just sitting there. We don't know who they are. We don't know who they belong to. I mean, I guess you could bury them. At a special USPS burial ground with a
Starting point is 00:29:43 a gravestone marker with maybe a QR code with all the information we have on the particular remains. And then you can go to that cemetery and scan the QR code for the information. And if you can prove that that information coincides with you and your grandma or whoever it is, then you can either put your name on the gravestone or we'll exhume it and you can have the, have the powder back. You know, the remain. I'm sorry, not the powder that remains back. it's all yours. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you,
Starting point is 00:30:17 but if you're missing someone that you mailed to someone else, it's probably one of the 452 that they've got. So Larry Nasser, you remember him, the child molester who's in prison. I mean, he was the ex-well, he is the ex-team. USA Gymnastics doctor that molested all those chimneys. and he's in prison now in the federal correctional complex Coleman and Central Florida.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Well, he's lucky to be alive now. He's listed in stable condition, but he was stabbed multiple times in this prison over the weekend. I know that's come to us a surprise that a child molester like Larry Nasser, who is serving hundreds of years for sexually assaulting,
Starting point is 00:31:10 gymnast would get stabbed in prison, but apparently he got into a fight with another inmate, and he has a collapsed lung, and I guess he was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the back, and six times in the chest. Oh, holy cow, he is seriously lucky to be alive. Wow. according to this that he's only alive because of the staff members
Starting point is 00:31:41 who were there you would think and this is just me thinking out loud you would think that if you were stabbed like that and you were ham that the staff would work
Starting point is 00:31:55 slowly to take care of him but no they didn't they did not so they declined to identify the person who assaulted him, of course, but they initiated life-saving measures and it worked.
Starting point is 00:32:12 So we'll see what happens at the federal correctional complex Coleman in Central Florida, but Larry Nasser is in, well, they said stable condition, but I mean, he was stabbed
Starting point is 00:32:27 twice in the neck, twice in the back, and six times in the chest. Hoof, good luck. Good luck being in stable condition after that.

Starting point is 00:34:59 approved the sale of cultivated, I'm sorry, lab-grown meat to American consumers. So that distribution is coming. So two companies, upside foods and good meat, were both given the rubber stamp to begin manufacturing and selling their, cultivated chicken products, also known as cultured chicken, which are produced. Yeah, we talked about this, producing their chicken, but they're also doing lab-grown burgers.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yay! I cannot wait for that. That's going to be so, so good to have lab-cultured meat on the shelves. I don't know if they're going to have special stickers saying, you know, not real or fake, but I mean, They are forming it. The actual meat or lab cultured meat is not from animals, but from meat cells replicated in mass in a lab. And that's what we're going to be forced to eat. You know, unless you want actual real meat.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Don't be silly, real meat. Wow, are you stupid? Anyway, be on the lookout for that. I was reading a tweet, I found interesting, you know, speaking of, you know, McDonald's food and lab cultured food and, you know, all the food that we eat here in the U.S. And, you know, I'm a foodie. I got it. I'm a, well, I'm not really a foodie.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Now, a foodie means that you like to try all kinds of strange, weird stuff, right? So I'm not a foodie. I'm just a person who likes to eat. Okay. So, uh, I was reading a tweet from, uh, Joey Manorino. And he's a, you know, mostly politics, political kind of guy. But I like a lot of his tweets. And he's funny from time to time.
Starting point is 00:36:55 But I was reading a tweet from him talking about how American food is poison. And apparently he's, this is something he has literally been talking about quite a lot. And he talks about living in Europe for about five years. He said he lived alone for about 70% of the time. I was there, which means I ate every single meal. breakfast, lunch, and dinner in restaurants. When I got to Europe, I weighed about 207 pounds. When I left Europe, I was about 180 pounds.
Starting point is 00:37:23 So I never once stopped in a gym. You know, he talks about that he's probably pre-diabetic. But while in Europe, his typical meal included cappuccino and a croissant for breakfast, a small pasta dish or some type of salad, even a small meat dish for lunch. For dinner, I'd have meat or some kind of pasta dish. With dinner, I almost always had a glass of wine. I always had gelato after dinner. Now when I lived in Austria, most of the food was fried there because that's their cuisine
Starting point is 00:37:52 in Italy less so. With that diet, I stayed around 170, 180 pounds at all times and felt great. Move back to America in February of this year. Since here I live with someone, I have tons more home cooking. For breakfast, I have coffee with nothing else, no croissant or anything. For lunch, I have some type of light meat dish or some kind of potatoes or vegetables. for dinner, some kind of meat or chicken dish with soup or nothing. And at some point during the day, I'll have a smoothie.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I almost never eat dessert and certainly don't go for ice cream because I'm not trying to pay $9 for ice cream. I wish I could say that. So eating significantly healthier and eating at home most of the time, spending triple the money. Yeah, well, welcome to America. I've managed to gain weight rather than lose it. My stomach is in an eternal. state of backflips and sickness. It's because the food here has chemicals
Starting point is 00:38:49 and other crap that is banned in most of the world. When your stomach is not used to these chemicals and you reintroduce them, you're going to be sick and obese. Wow. And so he just claims that he's not looking for
Starting point is 00:39:05 advice. He just is letting people know that he believes that, this is Joey Manorino speaking, definitely not me. We are being slowly poisoned in this country because of our low food standards, period. Weird that someone would think that. Hey, we went to know.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Oh, that's right. We were talking about lab grown meat hitting the supermarket shelves. Oh, that's right. Ah, never mind that. Oh, and if you're listening live, today is the 10th of July, 2023. And if you're in Pennsylvania or that neck of the woods, be on the lookout because a prisoner, Michael Burnham, escaped from. prison and is now on the loose.
Starting point is 00:39:48 They're looking for him. He is described as a survivalist with military training. Huh. So he is on the run. He's only suspected of several crimes, including a murder. That's it, though. So he broke out of jail with tying bed sheets together and triggered a massive, and all these agencies are now looking for him.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And he's, you know, very dangerous and should not be approached. Okay, he was discovered missing from the recreation area of the Warren County Jail Friday morning. Desley, he's been, they're still looking for him. He elevated himself onto a piece of exercise equipment, left the yard through a metalgated roof. A spokesman said he then used the bed sheets to climb down to the ground. And the staff realized that he was missing minutes after his escape. Uh-huh. And so that he was under video surveillance while in the recreation area.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Uh-huh. So anyway, he's on the run. And they're out there, they're asking people to check their video cameras in Pennsylvania in this area of Warren County. Be careful. He's on the run. They apparently have found campsites that they say belong to him. He's on the run.
Starting point is 00:41:11 He's in the woods in these wooded areas. and he's a survivalist military experience, and he could be holed up anywhere. So if you see him, don't approach him. For sure, don't approach him. And if you do see him, I would go the other way quickly. So just be on the lookout if you're in Warren County, Pennsylvania, or in that neck of the woods, Michael Burham has escaped from jail
Starting point is 00:41:41 and been on the loose for what three, four days now. So we'll see if they can apprehend him any time soon. That would be nice.
