21. It isn't the channel in the gym. When we do group workout it's in the weight room.

Fortunately, they just have ESPN on in there. The women talk to each other and this stuff comes up. Sometimes it may be about the homeless begging near stores. (Why don't they just get a job? according to Mrs. T-Party.) Or it may be about the cool spring we are having, today's topic. I said that there is a cool spring worldwide because of climate change. (So that started the the ice age thing) But the point is that these women are watching Fox News at home and listening to Limbug on the radio while driving around on their chores. I know because I ask them where they heard that?

I have asked to have Fox News changed at my mechanics. They now ask me what channel I want when I have to wait.
