just took a call from a woman, after giving me her story pitch, she asks if i want to hear a joke. ive never been proposed a joke by a caller before. so sure, why not. a priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a bar. the rabbit says "oh, i must be a typo".

Shout out to all the people that don't have a father to celebrate today with, especially the younger ones. I lost my dad when I was 19, meaning I've lived more than half my life without one. I'm grateful Bill raised me as a @Giants fan. You missed two fantastic Super Bowls.
