Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 1866-3-3-1-2-60 or visit Commexonterio.C. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, we're headed into week two of the MGM Resorts hack, the chainwide cyber attack, potentially losing, I don't know, $8.4 million per day. Just incredible. I'm not sure why they haven't paid or if they've been asked to pay and are refusing to pay.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I know that the group at Caesar's entertainment was hacked, and they paid the $15 million in cyber ransom and moved down with their life. Now, I'm not saying you have to pay criminals. I get it. But, you know, it just seems weird that a group known as Scattered Spider, a U.S. and UK-based collective, they've made, you know, they report that, hey, we're in and we now run your system. and unless you pay us, well, you won't be able to run your system. So how about, I mean, if you're losing 8.4 million a day, maybe the 15 million up front is worth it. And that's certainly what Caesar's thought.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Now we find out that we're going to have a shortage of Clorox because their company was hacked. I know. So Clorax has said, yeah, you know, we had a wide-scale cyber attack that we endured, and it's causing product availability issues. We're having material impact on his first quarter earnings. I know. The California-based company said,
Starting point is 00:02:06 you know, we're going to take a hit due to the order processing delays and elevated level of product outages related to the hack. So the company is still trying to determine the full extent of the financial and business impact of the attack. So now, is there nothing sacred? As there nothing sacred, chlorox disinfecting wipes, there's going to be a shortage of,
Starting point is 00:02:31 and it's not because of a pandemic, it's because of, well, it's a pandemic of hacks. I'll tell you that. That is happening. So make sure that your systems are on complete lockdown because the hackers are out there looking to hack. And you can quote me on that. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Well, we can stop looking for. for the jet. Yeah, they found it. Well, at least they claim to have found it. They claim that a debris field has been found in South Carolina. That is to believe to be the F-35 fighter. They believe that the debris was found, or they report that the debris was found in Williamsburg County, some two-hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston, which is now handing off command to the Marine Corps. The pilot of the had safely ejected during the incident, okay, and they're gathering more information and assessing the situation.
Starting point is 00:03:37 The mishap is under investigation. Oh, that's great. We're unable to provide any additional details. We want to preserve the integrity of the investigative process. You preserve the integrity. You've already ruined that by telling people to call if they found it. And I will say this, just as a side note, now, I've seen pictures of...
Starting point is 00:03:57 the recovery crew in South Carolina. I have not seen any debris. So, okay, I believe you. But when we're looking for that $100 million F-35A or B or whatever it was, it seems like maybe you show me a picture. Yep, there it is. There's part of it. There's a wing, something like that.
Starting point is 00:04:22 So the whole thing is really strange. I know that, you know, the jets tracker stopped working. It's designed with an anti-radiard to be undetectable while flying. I get that. But maybe, I don't know, maybe there's a satellite somewhere that we have that can keep track of our stealth planes so that when, you know, they're invisible and undetectable, except to, you know, Joey, Captain Joey back at the base, knows where it's at. Then we talked about how his flying partner, another plane, was flying with the F-35 that apparently crashed.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And the pilot ejected, and the plane was on autopilot. And then the flying partner went back to the airport or went back to the base. why didn't he follow the plane? I don't understand why he just, ah, that's it. I'm just going to go back to the base now. Yeah, whatever happens, happens. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:37 No problem. So, anyway, that's just such a strange, strange thing. I know that there have been other cases of this plane with other issues. So maybe these same issues are showing up. Maybe it was, you know, they needed to do a restart on the computer system and didn't do it before they took off. And the company updated them with the, hey, you've got to restart right now. And there was no way to, you know, delay it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And so once it restarted, you're already in the restart, so you're done. I know that the F-35 program is projected to cost the American taxpayers. Oh my gosh, that's you and me. $1.7 trillion over the aircraft's lifetime maybe we should know where they're at at all times. I know. I know. That's just me. But according to
Starting point is 00:06:32 authorities, we have found the debris from the jet. So go ahead and stop looking. Or don't. So today is international talk like a pirate day. Arr. And the one thing, that I like about it is that every international talk like a pirate day, September 19th, I am reminded that it's also my wife's birthday. So when everybody talks about, hey, it's
Starting point is 00:07:04 international talk like a pirate day. I remember, oh my gosh, it's my wife's birthday. Happy birthday. I was reading about how the talk like a pirate day started. And these two guys got hurt playing racquetball, and one of them, and they decided that, hey, we should do a talk like a pirate day. And it happened on June 6th in 1995, but they decided, hey, June 6th is the, you know, the Normandy landings. So he chose his ex-wife's birthday as it would be an easy day for him to remember. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:46 That's why I would have picked it. So I'm almost these two guys came up with Talk Like a Pirate Day. And I guess that all got started because Dave Barry did a thing on him in 2002, you know, the humorist columnist. And so that's, you know, today is international talk like a pirate day. So you can go out and pretend you're a pirate and you can do it because it's a day of celebration. It's also my wife's birthday, which I'm reminded of because it's international talk like a pirate day i wouldn't ever remember it otherwise and so uh happy birthday to my wife uh you know i love you and uh it's gonna be a great day no i mean that no seriously
Starting point is 00:08:32 happy birthday no stop it it's not about age or anything like that no it doesn't have anything to do with i mean i hate birthdays to be honest with you i stopped celebrating them a long ago. So when you, you know, reach out to me and say, oh, she's getting a little old now for you. Isn't she, Jeffrey? No, that's not even funny. I don't even want to play those jokes anymore because, you know, then it takes me a while to walk in the kitchen and make sure that she's got stuff done. You know, and on her birthday, I've given her new oven mitts and everything. I want her to be able to use them and be happy. So happy birthday, baby. I love you. That before I get myself into more trouble I'll just tell you about our sponsor for the broadcast today. QP.GoteSope.com.

Most people who buy soap from the store don't realize what is doing to their skin. Store-bought soap will get you clean, but while it's doing that, it's also drying out your skin. And that, of course, you have to keep buying products like low-end. stuff made by the same company. Soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk. That's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap, and he's been making it the right way ever since.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So I was reading a little bit about my man, Quinn, and he got his first milk goats at nine years old, and now he's 16. and he loves the goat, but he also decided, hey, we need to try to sell some of this goat milk soap making and make it into a family business. And that's exactly what they do. They make real soap, old school hand-pored, made from scratch. So the soap that cleans while moresturizing that simple, you know, most commercial bars simply don't.

Starting point is 00:11:53 All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Wow. So Russell Brand is in trouble. Man, I don't know if the accusations are true about his sexualist. assaults and rapes, but they are getting loud. YouTube has suspended monetization on Russell Brand's channel for violating its
Starting point is 00:12:25 creator responsibility policy. Oh, has he? And I see where Russell has postponed some of his stand-up tour dates. Oh, missed all these allegations. So be on the lookout. We'll see what happens with Russell. I know he said on his, he posted a video denying it all. And I mean, it was just a couple minute of video.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And he covered everything I thought. Hello there, you awakening wonders. Now, this isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique, attack, and undermine the news in all its corruption because in this story, I am the news. I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email. One from a mainstream media TV company. one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like my community festival should be stopped,
Starting point is 00:13:22 that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel. But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute. Okay. These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent. I hope that's true. I like Russell. I always kind of liked Russell. I just, I hope that's true. And he goes on for another minute and a half or whatever to refute all the allegations. And, you know, good for him. And I want that to be true.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And only for the reason that I like Russell. And I don't want to believe that he is that bad of a guy. And I, you know, look, we're supposed to be presumed innocent, right? The presumption of innocence. And really, I know those days are kind of gone. We've talked about that as well. But with the public aware of this now, and it's outwe. I thought that the presumption of innocence
Starting point is 00:14:43 was supposed to be taken more seriously than the accusations. I know, I know. That's just silly of me. So anyway, if it comes out that he's this bad person and did these things, then I'll beat him up for it. But as of now, I just think it's, you know, BS and we're trying to shut him up.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And it seems to be working. Then we have Governor Christy Noem. I talked about this a little bit yesterday. They claim that she's had a years-long affair with Corey Lewandowski, the former Donald Trump aide. And I mean, she has, you know, a husband, three children. They've been married for over 30 years. Lewandowski has a wife. And now Christy Noam's people say that this is predictable. because she's under attack now right after, well, less than a week, after she endorsed Donald Trump as for the 47th president of the United States. And they always put in the article, now they have not denied it. I mean, okay. So we'll see if that's actually true or not.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I don't know. We do know that Representative Lauren Mowbert out of Colorado, she's apologized after her groping fun. at the theater seeing Beetlejuice. I will say, watching the groping video of Lauren and her boyfriend who, I guess, owned some gay friendly bar. And she said that she has to now watch for the political affiliation of her dates. But she, I will say, and it is interesting how we could get that video.
Starting point is 00:16:31 But there's plenty of videos that we'd like to see that we can't see. We got a pretty good shot of Lauren getting groped at the theater. That is interesting in and of itself. but and you know so i'm not opposed to you know groping at the theater well so she you know we'll see we'll see what happens there to uh Lauren Bo but it is interesting that she is a she is a very vocal uh representative and funny how that just happens to be released
Starting point is 00:17:00 this video of her out on a date with some gay friendly bar owner groping her at the theater so well you know she's she's always made the joke of I'd like to see the end of the play because she got kicked out and it was because of vaping and I guess they were hollering. I don't know. Maybe people didn't like the idea of looking down the aisle seeing her getting groped and her groping. They're grouping her date at the end of the aisle. I don't know that though. So we'll see. And then I talked yesterday about the Burbank mayor. So he was confronted by a councilwoman because the behavior had crossed, he's been in trouble.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Apparently, there is video of the Burbank mayor being spanked at a drag queen bingo event. That's what you want your mayor. You want your mayor? Look, it's just private time. So everyone is calling him mayor spanky now. and here's another thing in this story that kind of ticks me off to. Just as a side note away from Mayor Spanky for a minute. Can we just agree that when we say it was on X,
Starting point is 00:18:17 that we all know that's the platform formerly known as Twitter. Why do we have to put that in every story? Mayor Spanky on X. We know that's, it's the old Twitter. We got it. It's called X now. We got it. Whether you like it or not.
Starting point is 00:18:31 That's just someone that's pissed that it's not Twitter. And it happens in so many. many stories. And we heard on, you know, it's trending on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Can we just agree that that's what we call it X? If you want to call it Twitter in your story, everyone will know that it's X now and they'll say, no, it's X now. In their head, you read the story. He's Mayor Spanky on Twitter. Oh, it's not Twitter anymore. It's X. Okay. We got it. All right. We don't always have to say on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. We got it. Anyway, so the mayor is in trouble in Burbank.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And, you know, as the mayor of Burbank, man, you don't want to be caught on video getting spanked by a drag queen. You know, there's a lot of politicians. I'm guessing that don't want to get video being spanked by a drag queen at a bingo event. But man, if you're the Burbank mayor, you don't want none of that either, although apparently he did. And don't forget you can follow me on X, you know, the platform formerly known as Twitter, at Jeffrey JFR. And you can follow me on Instagram and Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on YouTube, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.
Starting point is 00:19:51 And you can also order a cameo from me. That's not free, but you go to Cameo and at Jeffie JFR and you can order a cameo. happy glad, sad, mad, mean, you know, whatever, happy anniversary, happy birthday, whatever you need, a happy breakup. Hey, I want to break up with you. I haven't done a breakup yet on Cameo. So I'm kind of, I don't know that I'm looking forward to it, but I am concerned that I haven't done one yet.
Starting point is 00:20:17 So if you're looking to break up with someone and need someone to do it for you, Cameo at Jeffrey JFR. And, you know, cameo is my pimp. So they just, you know, you order a cameo, and then the hooker does what the pimp wants for the John, right? I think that's the way it's supposed to work.

This is where they had to shut down some of Disney World.
Starting point is 00:21:09 parts of Magic Kingdom theme park yesterday after a bear was spotted in a tree so the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission worked to
Starting point is 00:21:23 relocate a black bear that was reported in a tree at the park so why we did not they did relocate the bear all right
Starting point is 00:21:37 it wasn't hey is that a black bear in the tree? Yep, it sure is. What's more important? The black bear or the humans at the park? Okay, the park. And maybe they did, because it's not clear how they caught it or if it was tranquilized. They just, the video that they show has it being claimed that it's being relocated under a white tarp. So they confirmed that there was a bear in the park. And in most cases, if the bear does show up in the park,
Starting point is 00:22:16 they give it the space and everybody moves on and does their own thing. But according to this, most of the time they capture the bears and then they take them to the Ocala National Forest. And so we'll see. But we don't know that they actually, you know, tranquilized it and then picked it up with a white tarp and carried it away. It very well could have been
Starting point is 00:22:42 and just put it under a tarp and we're carrying it out of here. Don't say anything else. Just keep it moving. Keep it covered on the tarp and don't look up. So I was looking at the... I'm sure that they tranquilized it and relocated it. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Now, I was looking at the size of Disney World and how large it is. And it's pretty big. You can quote me on that. Disney World is pretty big. So it's 39 square miles, which makes it bigger than Manhattan, like Manhattan and again another 50% size of Manhattan, roughly the same size as Paris. There are more than 280 individual attractions, 380 places to eat and drink, four golf courses, a movie theater, a baseball stadium that seats about 10,000 spectators, and they get about 47 million visitors a year. so I don't know that it lives up to be the happiest place on earth,
Starting point is 00:23:41 which was their slogan. I don't even know if that is their slogan anymore. But if you had that to take care of, and there was a black bear affecting your daily business, we're going to go ahead and get the black bear out of here, like right now, one way or another, okay? We don't care, but it's out of here. Speaking of Florida, I see where the Tampa Bay Rays have made a new deal for a new stadium.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I've been working on a new stadium deal for a lot. long time. There's been several places that it was going to be moved to. I was trying to see exactly where they were going to redevelop this. It's expected to build, they're expected to build a new stadium for only 30,000 people in a dome in St. Petersburg. That seems a little small. So they're looking at $1.2 billion. They've been playing in St. Petersburg since, what, 98? I mean, my son and my my dad, his grandfather, went to the opening game. We were producing it on the radio at the time, way back at 1998,
Starting point is 00:24:41 Rays baseball. And so I guess what I could make of the deal, and maybe somebody from St. Petersburg can email me the exact details of the event. But I guess they're going to build it in the same neck of the woods that the dome is already in. And that's right there. I used to work there a hundred years ago
Starting point is 00:25:01 before back in the early 90s, when there was a big Witt Dixie Webb's Plaza right across the street from the dome when they were building it. So it's that same neck of the woods that they're just going to redevelop the ballpark there. So good luck. Hopefully they work it out. It seems like a little smaller than I would have anticipated. And everybody hates Tropicana Field.
Starting point is 00:25:25 And I always like Tropicana Field. I know. I know. I don't look at me like that. But everybody was sick of Tropicana Field. I liked it. I never had a, I never had a bad experience at Tropicana Field. So, you know, sue me, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:42 No, don't really, but, but sue me. Speaking of Paris, I see they are number 12 on the list of the most beautiful cities on the planet. Number 12, Paris. The way it's treated, you'd think it'd be number one. So number one is Venice, then Rome, then Barcelona. then Prague, then New York. New York is the fifth, the most beautiful city on the planet.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I think not. Athens, I'm guessing they're talking about Greece, not Georgia. Budapest, Vienna, Bordeaux, Milan, Stockholm, and then Paris is number 12. Chicago's on this list, too. Chicago is what, 13, 14, 15th, 17th? Okay. And St. Petersburg is what, 18th, 19, 20, 20,
Starting point is 00:26:35 I'm guessing that's St. Petersburg, Russia, not Florida. And then Miami is in the top 25 as well, way down there. And Beijing is number 25. Okay. But those are, according to world of statistics, those are the most beautiful cities of their beauty score. Good news is there's going to be more beauty in more cities across the country.
Starting point is 00:26:59 The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that they are going to, give cities and towns across the entire United States, well, 50 states. I guess the entire United States, yeah. Receive planting grants focused on disadvantaged areas, including those in Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and multiple tribal nations. That's more than 50 states. They gave more than a billion dollars in federal money to help communities plant trees. So that's great.
Starting point is 00:27:36 That's going to really help the beauty of the country. I'm not opposed to trees. Plan them. Man, let's plan them. The more trees, the better. You can quote me on that. The more trees, the better. The federal government's plan to plant trees stemmed from funds included in the
Starting point is 00:27:54 Inflation Reduction Act, which is, I mean, wonderful. The Golden State was awarded over $102 million in. grants to 43 recipients. Wow, we, I need to get some grant money. As extreme temperatures increasingly threaten the safety of workers and communities all across California, expanding access to shade and green spaces is more important than ever. Ah, boy, I could agree more. So if I could get some grant money for me to plant trees here in Texas, we are like the closest state to the the sun. So I need some money to plant some trees as part of this new government act from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and, of course, the Inflation Reduction Act. If you could just give me,
Starting point is 00:28:49 you know, a few million, and I'll be happy to plant trees wherever I go. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice, yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes, because those are groceries, and we deliver those too, along with your favorite restaurant food, alcohol, and other everyday essentials. Order Uber Eats now.
Starting point is 00:29:34 For alcohol, you must be legal drinking age. Please enjoy responsibly. Product availability varies by region. See app for details. Congratulations are in order. One, to Katie Perry. she sold the rights to her music catalog, Litmus Music, for a reported $225 million.
Starting point is 00:29:53 That seems a little low for Katie Perry Music Catalog. But congratulations to Katie. $225 million. If I were advising Katie, I would say she could have sold it for a lot more. But anyway, congratulations. Because $225 million, I spit on $225 million. I'm asking for a few thousand dollars to plant trees, but 225 million I spit on. Congratulations, Katie.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I hope it all works out for you. And I see where Bill Maher, I still have the writers and actor strike going on, and that doesn't seem like we're going to come do an end anytime soon. Although they're back at the table. I saw, you know, what's her face? I said she was going to bring her show back, and then she backed off, Drew Barrymore.
Starting point is 00:30:43 said, no, okay, fine. You know what, I'm behind the, I'm behind the strike 100%. So I guess that means that she couldn't find anybody to work on the show. I don't know. But Bill Maher, there were a couple of other shows that said they were coming back as well. I don't know that they have backtracked, but Drew Barrymore did. And then Bill Maher came out and said, hey, I'm going to, my show's coming back too. I know you guys are on strike and I'm behind you 100%, but I need my show to air.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And so, according now it says, that he just tweeted, my decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening, and there was no end in sight to this strike. So my decision was made that you guys are not going to work it out, and I need to work. So screw you, and I need to make my money.
Starting point is 00:31:30 But now he says that both sides have agreed to go back to the negotiating table, so I'm going to delay the return of real time for now, and hope that they can finally get this. resolved so all right there you have it so people who said are finally had enough and maybe they will now because you know shows and they're all the workers are saying hey we got to get back to work you're killing us here and so they've got to come to a deal you'd think and so I hope you know I hope everybody gets what's they want but what's what's they want yeah I hope I have my guess what they want but you know it's gonna have to it's gonna be
Starting point is 00:32:12 worth it, right? I don't know. It's such a weird thing. But they're all bending the knee still and not coming back to work. So good luck on new content coming for any of the shows that we watch. I know there's going to be a lot of, you know, dating shows and new, boogie, funny game shows that wouldn't have made the cut before the strike that they had in the can. And now we're going to be seeing those. I see the ads. I see the ads. Make no mistake. I see the ads. And you haven't fooled me. that those are shows that wouldn't have made the cut if there was actual programming to be had. But since there isn't, and we've already got those shows in the can,
Starting point is 00:32:50 you know what, we're going to put those on. So, and more and more football is on the horizon. More shows simulcast between ESPN and ABC. I think Monday Night Football is going to go back and forth. So more live sporting events coming for sure, which never is a bad thing, is it? And of course not. then I see a couple of interesting stories that from a week apart.
Starting point is 00:33:16 So last week I see where El Chapo's wife, Emma Coronel Espiro, walks free after less than two years over gang charges. Kind of strange. I'm not sure, you know, how she gets out, according to this, the wife of the Mexican Seniloa cartel boss, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. was released from a California Halfway House more than a year before the end of her three-year sentence with an association with this gang is where she ended up. She was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison back in 2021. She pled guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy charges related to her husband's cartel.
Starting point is 00:33:59 And so she was released. Interesting how that she was released. And then this week, I see where the son of El Chapo, was extradited to the United States. So they arrested him in Mexico. Remember that arrest in Mexico? Incredible arrest. So now he's being extradited to the United States.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Ovidio Guzman Lopez was in federal custody in Chicago. Now, he's been obviously linked to the drug trade and violence. And this was a joint operation between the DEA and the U.S. Marshal Service. uh-huh uh and the mexican government okay all right uh attorney general merrig garland said uh that he was the leader of the senanoa cartel um okay so we'll see isn't it interesting though that the wife or the ex-wife was released from jail then we went ahead and were extraditing the sun from mexico back to america i am not saying those two things are tied together i'm just just saying, isn't it interesting?
Starting point is 00:35:12 How that worked out. So we got one guy, but we're going to bring him back to the United States. But the other one that we had, the wife, I let her go. Don't worry about it. Yeah, she pled guilty to himself. She won't do anything anymore.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Oh, okay. Sure. Sure, no problem. I mean, as far as I know, El Chapo is still in prison, right? I mean, he was supposed to be at the Supermax. He's supposed to be there. So as far as I know, he's still there.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And there's no way that he could possibly be running things from his Supermax prison cell. Right? Right. And more congratulations are in order. A gardener in England believed to have the world's largest onion. Congratulations. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Wow, that's something to be proud of. A 19-pound, I'm sorry, 19.77-pound onion, which apparently outweighs the previous world record of 18.68-pound onion from 2014. So, Gareth Griffin showed off his onion at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show. And so he has an almost 20-pound onion. It was on display at the show's edible. pavilion alongside other giant vegetables. There's no pictures of the other giant vegetables, though, that include a cabbage, a cucumber, and a carrot. Now, when I was a kid, I got in so much trouble for pulling a whole row of onions out of my aunt and uncle's garden. I wouldn't have pulled
Starting point is 00:36:55 that bad boy out. There's a picture of this man with his 20-pound onion. I bet it's not that good. It would seem that perhaps that onion is not that good, and I'm not a big fan of onions anyway. But congratulations to Gareth Griffin and growing his 19.77 pound onion. Now, I don't think the Guinness World Records have showed up yet,
Starting point is 00:37:25 so they have to review it. And so as of right now, he doesn't hold the record. The previous record holder, 18.68 pound onion, is the record holder. And isn't the previous record holder, is the record holder, because the Guinness World Records has not stamped this new onion, the record onion. So good luck. I hope it works out for you. I hope that's a real onion and you weren't fibbing on us. And I'll leave you with, I saw a post the other day talking about Texas slang. And the phrase is, you good. And I was trying to think,
Starting point is 00:38:02 yeah, you know, I catch myself saying that all the time. But it means different things. So it could mean, are you okay, you are okay, how have you been? Did you get enough? You're welcome. Stop talking to me. No need to say, sorry, you need some money. So like, you know, if you were saying, are you okay, you good? Or you are okay, you good.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Or how have you been? You good? Or did you get enough? You good? Or you're welcome. You're good. Or stop talking to me. You good.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Or no need to say sorry. You're good. You need some money. You good? So just remember, it's just in all in how you say the phrase, you good, as to what you actually mean. And so, you're welcome. Did I mention it was my wife's birthday today? I did?
