Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher XX
[0] Blaze Radio Network.
[1] And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
[2] Once again, we have a story of someone finding something at a thrift store that wasn't me. Okay, the story did not come from me. So this lady is out perusing her local thrift store when she comes across this wedding dress that she says is stunning.
[3] It's a huge gown, strapless body, and the ruffled skirt.
[4] And the Goodwill tag is $19 for the dress.
[5] And then she realizes, wait, that's the Vera Wang Carrie Bradshaw sex in the city wedding dress.
[6] Yeah.
[7] So she bought it for $18 .99.
[8] No kidding.
[9] And she, it's part of the show, part of the deal.
[10] We don't know how it ended up at the thrift store, but she is going to auction it off.
[11] and good for her.
[12] I don't know what she's going to get for it, but she said that she's been, and this is the lady who found the Carrie Bradshaw dress at the thrift store, Ashley Cano, Ashley Cano, said that, hey, yeah, I've been low -key stressing over my lawyer bills for my divorce, and I needed a blessing.
[13] Didn't think it would come in the way of a wedding dress, but I'm not complaining.
[14] So she's going to resell it to help pay.
[15] She's going to resell the wedding dress from Saxon and the city to help fund her divorce.
[16] Doesn't get much better than that.
[17] Unless it was me that found it.
[18] Welcome.
[19] Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
[20] It was announced today that CBS News journalist Gail King, along with recording artist Katy Perry, pilot Lauren Sanchez, that would be a fiancé to Jeff Bezos, and will be part of a six -person crew.
[21] The bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nijan, love her, is going to be part of the group, along with NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowie.
[22] I believe that's how you pronounce her last name, B -O -W -E, and film producer Carrie Ann Flynn.
[23] It's going to be an all -woman flight on Blue Origin, and they're going to go up to the carbon line in the Blue Origin flight.
[24] And I cannot tell you how excited I am.
[25] They didn't announce the exact date.
[26] It'll be the 11th human flight.
[27] for the New Shepard program and the 31st in its history, but only 11 with humans in it.
[28] The program has now flown 52 people above the Carmen line, which is questionable, but going with it, we're saying, yeah, okay, that's where they're flying to.
[29] And that's the internationally recognized boundary of space.
[30] So this is the first all -female flight crew, which is...
[31] Awesome.
[32] Now, again, there's no date to when this is going to happen, but I cannot wait, personally, for the audio of Katy Perry hitting the Carmen line.
[33] Because if it's anything like my man, William Shatner, I am here for it.
[34] God.
[35] Weightlessness.
[36] Oh, Jesus.
[37] Karma line.
[38] Oh.
[39] No description.
[40] Oh.
[41] Wait.
[42] Katy Perry.
[43] I'm already in mood.
[44] I can hear her.
[45] With Lauren Sanchez.
[46] Oh.
[47] I can't.
[48] I cannot wait.
[49] You can stop it.
[50] I cannot wait until Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez make that happen.
[51] Because I promise you, on behalf of Chewing the Fat and myself, that that audio will be played on this broadcast.
[52] I promise you that.
[53] That is awesome.
[54] The all -woman flight on Blue Origin's carbon line is going to be extraordinary.
[55] You know, and speaking of space, I see where Intuitive Machines just launched their second lunar lander headed to the moon.
[56] Supposed to land on the moon sometime next week.
[57] Their payload includes a Nokia -built 4G wireless system.
[58] They're going to establish the first Wi -Fi network on the moon.
[59] The main payload on the Athena rover is a drill.
[60] for NASA as part of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program, which I'm a huge fan of, their Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program, and that's paying a commercial company like Intuitive, I'm sorry, like Intuitive Machines, to take something to the moon, and it's cheaper for NASA than designing and building its own spacecraft.
[61] Yeah, we already know.
[62] We know that's the kind of deal you have with SpaceX.
[63] Don't try to pretend like SpaceX doesn't exist anymore.
[64] We know, okay?
[65] So the drill is designed to dig about three feet below the surface, pulling up lunar soil about four inches at a time and dropping it into a pile on the surface.
[66] And an instrument known as a mass spectrometer.
[67] Love that instrument.
[68] Will then sniff around the drilled material for compounds like frozen water that easily transforms into gases.
[69] The Athena lander is also carrying three robotic rovers and a small flying hopper that will be deployed after landing.
[70] Okay, so we'll see.
[71] Because the last time that they sent one up, it fell over.
[72] And we didn't get any pictures from it.
[73] And it was just like, what happened?
[74] There was a problem.
[75] Yeah, we're on the moon.
[76] We think we're on the moon.
[77] We're there.
[78] We're there.
[79] Oh, okay.
[80] Yeah, that's right.
[81] We have one camera and it fell over on it.
[82] And so we're able to look at the picture.
[83] Here's the picture of it.
[84] And there it goes because it fell down and now it's covered up because it fell over.
[85] So we'll see if this particular rocket rover that was supposed to land on the moon, athena lander actually does what it's supposed to do if that's the case then one of the things that it's supposed to do is they have another little rover that's the size of a small dog that's supposed to you know map the moon uh mobile autonomous prospecting platform map uh and so they want to create this cell phone network on the on the moon can you hear me now uh that is uh yeah we'll see we'll see how that how that works out but okay uh let's make it happen i'll be interested to see how the old rover works from the intuitive machines because the last time did not go well the odious i think it was right i think that's what it was the odious uh lander and uh yeah it had a problem and uh yeah we it was an oversight The launch probably was an issue.
[86] And what are you going to do?
[87] They had a little problem, they thought, with this one when it took off.
[88] And they were sweating bullets, too.
[89] There was a problem in the beginning.
[90] Because it was late to check in after it launched.
[91] And then there were several minutes of the butts puckering on the ground, man, from Intuitive Machines.
[92] And then...
[93] oh there it is there it is we got it never mind never mind because they were all they were sweating bullets for several minutes because the uh the it didn't check back in with data and they were like oh boy another screw up but no it didn't so give them credit it didn't it just was a little bit a little slow uh so hopefully it's not a short rocket lander rover you know like a short bus It's not one of those.
[94] Anyway, we'll see what happens.
[95] We'll see what happens when it finally lands on the moon, if it stays upright, and if it does what it's supposed to do, and if we can map it out for the cell phone data and to have Wi -Fi on the moon.
[96] If.
[97] If.
[98] Right now, though, all systems go.
[99] When you hear that sounder, that's breaking news here on CTF.
[100] And we have our breaking news reporter, our man on the street, Chris Cruz.
[101] I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Chris is in Washington, D .C. Part of the new media, baby.
[102] New media.
[103] I am here, sir.
[104] Awesome.
[105] So you have breaking news for us today.
[106] I just came from the White House Oval Office.
[107] President Trump has officially made English.
[108] America's official language.
[109] Wow.
[110] How does that make you feel?
[111] Amazing.
[112] America first.
[113] Hell to the yes.
[114] So it is English is now the official language of America.
[115] It's right next to the Gulf of America.
[116] So you have to speak American, which is English.
[117] Oh, that's awesome.
[118] I don't know if you'll be shot if you speak another language.
[119] I don't think you can speak another language.
[120] It's just that, you know, I think this makes it okay for companies not to have 18 different languages when I call to find out.
[121] When you call the, yes, for English, press one.
[122] For Espanol, oprima dos.
[123] Thank you.
[124] I'm happy that the companies offer that.
[125] Absolutely.
[126] I'm sure the companies will continue to offer that.
[127] Yes.
[128] The government doesn't have to.
[129] Yes.
[130] I can't wait.
[131] If you want to do business with the government, you have to speak the official language.
[132] And there's nothing wrong with that.
[133] It doesn't make him a racist.
[134] That's what's going to happen.
[135] But it just says the standard.
[136] The standard is English.
[137] And?
[138] How are you working for the Trump administration?
[139] Well, you know, I just got a dose of the, you know, the Don.
[140] Being in the office with him just makes you, I guess, man. Your testosterone picked up a little bit.
[141] Testosterone picked up just a tiny.
[142] Yeah, it rubs off, doesn't it?
[143] So, well, that's good news.
[144] It's great news for America.
[145] Okay.
[146] You know what?
[147] Yes, it's good news.
[148] We have an official language now, and it's made official by our president, Donald J. Trump, that English is now the spoken word, the actual spoken word.
[149] Official.
[150] Official spoken word of America.
[151] And I thought it was already, but you know what?
[152] I'll give this a win to him.
[153] About time someone said it.
[154] Thank you.
[155] And said it in English.
[156] Thank you.
[157] I'm Chris Cruz.
[158] Breaking news from Washington, D .C. here on CTF.
[159] I'm not sure where to send Chris next.
[160] He's in D .C. now.
[161] I'm not sure if I need to send him out to the West Coast for the Oscars coming up on Sunday or just.
[162] keep him on the East Coast, and drop him down to Daytona because we've got Bike Week going on.
[163] So maybe he goes back to Daytona, checks out Bike Week, and then shoots over to California for the Oscars.
[164] Not quite sure.
[165] I'll have to figure that out.
[166] But I appreciate him being in D .C. today, giving us some breaking moves.
[167] So we have the Bike Week, Harley -Davidson Bike Week, going on at Daytona Beach.
[168] And they've got all kinds of events.
[169] It's going to be, I mean, their events go on from today through the 9th of March.
[170] Today's the last day of February.
[171] Those of you listening live, today is the 28th of February.
[172] You got to get out and do your Black History Month celebration right now because it's over.
[173] It's done after today.
[174] No more, you can't celebrate it after today.
[175] I'm pretty sure that's a law.
[176] Anyway, so they have Bike Week going on.
[177] They estimate three to four hundred thousand.
[178] writers and fans it's a broad swath of central florida yeah no kidding um Daytona Beach remains the epicenter, but they're branching out in Florida.
[179] So Harley -Davidson's, Honda's, Suzuki's, and other popular brands represent on the traditional hub along Main Street.
[180] That's ground zero.
[181] Yeah, that is ground zero.
[182] But they have all kinds of other stuff.
[183] I was looking at some of the events that they have.
[184] They have the cruise, and they have the shops that you can get all your stuff at.
[185] They have the rally.
[186] They have another couple of rides.
[187] But they also have coleslaw wrestling, which, hello.
[188] And so, while you're getting excited over, you know, coleslaw wrestling, because, man, there's nothing like cabbage and wrestling.
[189] They go together.
[190] Oh, man, do I hate coleslaw so much.
[191] Oh, nasty.
[192] Anyway, we also, my gosh, this weekend, we have the Florida Man Games going on.
[193] That's in St. Augustine.
[194] Right, I mean, that's where the Florida Man games are.
[195] We had the guy that founded it and started it on the program last year was the original, because this is the second annual Florida Man games.
[196] I should reach out to them, talk to them, and see what's happening.
[197] So, I mean, they are all over the place.
[198] Oh, wait a second.
[199] I want to stop for just a second.
[200] I just went to their website, floridamangames .com, and it says, we made the headlines.
[201] And Chewing the Fat is not listed.
[202] I was one of the first people to ever interview this guy.
[203] I am pissed now.
[204] I mean, maybe he doesn't even give the Blaze credit, but Chewing the Fat ought to have credit from this.
[205] I am texting him right now.
[206] I've got his number somewhere.
[207] That is unacceptable.
[208] No, no, no, no. That's too far.
[209] That's too far.
[210] You never know, though.
[211] You never know.
[212] It's too far, but you just never know.
[213] It is Florida.
[214] It is Florida.
[215] So you got Bike Week.
[216] You got the Florida Man Games happening in Florida.
[217] That's where we're going to need to send Chris.
[218] Maybe he goes there and then maybe he catches the red eye so he can be in L .A. for the Oscars.
[219] And then we'll have a report from him as he takes care of the beginning of Bike Week and the Florida Man Games.
[220] So the evading arrest obstacle course.
[221] I mean, that's better than the coleslaw wrestling.
[222] But, you know, if you're there and people start wrestling on coleslaw.
[223] But, you know, the one thing that kind of ticked me off about the bike week is how they get the crowd size.
[224] So they apparently, and this is all done for your safety, of course.
[225] please uh it's not for anything else uh daytona beach the city uh uses geofencing and they track all the cell phones that are in there in that area during during bike week so when they get that number from last year that was like three or four hundred thousand it's because of the geofencing um so it's a location based app i mean we know they just track all the cell phones there so uh if you have a wi -fi cell signal you can trigger trigger the uh the geofencing so if you don't want to be tracked when you're down there uh the bike week from the uh analytics firm placer ai they want to use them to calculate the numbers of bike week um If you don't want that, I would say make sure your Wi -Fi is turned off.
[226] Make sure any of your GPS is turned off.
[227] And if you're going to use a cell phone, I would, what do they call those phones again?
[228] Something that's hot.
[229] No, I don't want you to steal them.
[230] But they call them, oh, I know, burner phones.
[231] Because you could use them and throw them away.
[232] So if you want to make some money, Uh, go down to bike week and, uh, have, uh, have like a pickup truck full of, well, I don't want to call them burner phones, full of phones that help will help people be safe, feel safer while they're in Daytona beach and, uh, reminding them to shut off their cell phones and their wifi and everything else concerned with phones that they use every day and use these instead.
[233] All right, let's go to the break room.
[234] Don't look at me. I'm just saying for your safety and for all of that.
[235] I'm not trying for people to do anything illegal.
[236] It just kind of irks me that the city is using their geofencing just for the numbers.
[237] That's all we want.
[238] We just want them for the numbers.
[239] All right, let's go to the break room.
[240] I need something cold to drink.
[241] Desperately.
[242] You know, next week, Daredevil starts up again.
[243] Daredevil, born again.
[244] It's on Disney+.
[245] So Netflix ended it, and then they put together a new deal and started doing it for Disney+.
[246] Kind of excited about it.
[247] I mean, Charlie Cox is back as Daredevil.
[248] Vincent D 'Onofrio is there.
[249] They all came back for...
[250] for the show on Disney +, which is awesome.
[251] So the 4th, March 4th, like I said, today, if you're listening live, this is 28th, so next week, March 4th, they dropped the first two episodes, and then it's a nine -episode series that goes each week after that.
[252] So I'm kind of looking forward to that.
[253] The first, well, the whole run, but the first season of Daredevil on Netflix was awesome.
[254] awesome punisher was and it was okay same with iron fist or iron claw and what's her face what's her face the i can't even remember a stupid name now the what was it no no no no jessica jones that was a stupid name anyway i kept waiting for it to get better and it was i mean it was okay it just never got better that's all just okay but daredevil did and uh so i'm looking forward to uh daredevil on disney plus now oh incredible it's good i've got that app that i pay for huh don't even get me started i i've been watching so much stuff on amazon prime lately and it really really pisses me off with these commercials and i'm a commercial guy i like commercials we've covered this we've covered this ground i'm sick of complaining about it but i just can't i can't this drive me insane and my wife uh started watching this show on peacock Oh, what's the new stupid show she watches?
[255] Chicago, Chicago Fire.
[256] And, I mean, that show's been on, I don't know, they got like 80 years and 20 episodes a season.
[257] I mean, those people are doing some work.
[258] Everybody did some work for that show.
[259] I mean, no kidding.
[260] But it's on Peacock, so I got to sit through some commercials on Peacock as well.
[261] And I will say that the other day on Fat Gray Unleashed, we were talking about the modern English song, I'll Stop the World and Melt With You.
[262] And I was like, that's got to be a commercial.
[263] I mean, it's somewhere.
[264] After I said that, I go home.
[265] My wife is watching the stupid Chicago Fire Department FD or whatever the other show is.
[266] And the commercials on Peacock.
[267] I've seen a never ending run of the Hershey chocolate bar commercial with I'll stop the world and melt with you.
[268] I'll stop the world.
[269] I can't get it out of my head with the modern English song.
[270] And I love that song.
[271] now i have to have a hershey bar too all right then we have the oscars too i mean we can't forget about the oscars this weekend uh i i know you don't have to watch it i'll watch it for you okay uh i'll watch the red carpet and i'll see what they look like and what they say you're welcome i'll do it for you i'll take one for the team all right you don't have to uh so best actor uh i'm sorry actor in a leading role uh adrian brody the brutalist he seems to be the front runner although uh timothy charlemais who won uh the sag after award uh maybe may come from behind coming around the final turn as the best actor and then coleman domingo that's he's not going to win that uh ralph what's his face from conclave he's not going to win that they'll give conclave i probably the movie of the year uh And so, best movie of the year.
[272] And Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice.
[273] Yeah, no. It's going to be either Adrian Brody from The Brutalist or Timothee Charlemagne.
[274] Timothee Charlemagne, I mean, he's a movie star, right?
[275] I mean, people are going out of their way to see this guy.
[276] I mean, he's a movie star.
[277] He did both on SNL.
[278] He was the host and the musical guest.
[279] He showed up at some event that was a Timothee Charlemagne lookalike contest.
[280] The guy is a movie star.
[281] So, I mean, he probably should win.
[282] Actor in a supporting role, Yura Morzov from Anora.
[283] I can't take that.
[284] Kieran has been cleaning house.
[285] Kieran Culkin from A Real Pain probably will win again.
[286] Edward Norton in Complete Unknown.
[287] Ed's great in everything that he does, no question, but he's not winning that.
[288] Guy Pearce, the brutalist, who is out bad -mouthing Kevin Spacey, trying to get news.
[289] Sorry, Guy, you're not winning it, okay?
[290] No, not going to you.
[291] Karen Culkin is getting it.
[292] So back up.
[293] In the words of Kevin Spacey, grow up, okay?
[294] And Jeremy Strong from The Apprentice.
[295] Yeah, Karen Culkin's winning that.
[296] No problem.
[297] Actress in a leading role.
[298] They're going to give that to Wicked.
[299] Cynthia Erivo?
[300] I don't think so.
[301] I think that may go to either.
[302] Okay, so here's the nominees.
[303] Cynthia Erivo, Wicked.
[304] Carla Sofia Gascon from Amelia Perez.
[305] Mickey Madison from Anora.
[306] Demi Moore, The Substance.
[307] And Fernanda Torres, I'm still here.
[308] Okay, so.
[309] The front runners of that really is Demi Moore, who won the SAG for Substance.
[310] And Mickey Madison would be cool from Enora.
[311] She's great.
[312] I love her.
[313] She was in Better Things.
[314] Do you ever watch that show on FX?
[315] Anyway, she did a great job in Better Things on FX.
[316] And I could give it to her, although I've not seen Enora, so it's probably going to go to Demi.
[317] Demi is the Hollywood superstar.
[318] been in the thing although the movie is exactly what they try to pretend not to be the movie is Demi Moore is this aging actress who you know finds this substance to make her young right and that's I mean all the people out there judging are people that are actually doing that they're out there drinking any kind of blood they can find to be young Oh, they don't do that, Jeff.
[319] That's okay.
[320] All right.
[321] Sure.
[322] Sure.
[323] They don't do that.
[324] Okay.
[325] Supporting role, Monica Barbera, Kalina Known, Ariana Grande and Wicked, Felicity Jones, The Brutalist, Isabella Rosalini, Conclave, Zoe Saldana.
[326] Saldana's probably the frontrunner.
[327] She won the other night, too.
[328] They're not going to give it to Isabella Rossini, Conclave.
[329] No, Conclave's probably going to win the movie of the year and they'll be done with that because then they can all come out on stage together and say, we won, yay!
[330] But, you know, they wouldn't give you any separate awards.
[331] You know, just whatever.
[332] And the rest of them, does anyone care about the costume design or directing or short film, film editing, international feature film, makeup and hairstyling?
[333] Okay, makeup and hairstyling.
[334] A different man. uh amelia perez uh nasferato the substance and wicked i mean makeup and hairstyle it's got to go to wicked right i mean hello wicked's gonna make the run on that no problem plus uh what's her face uh in uh the actress um the carla sophia gascon who played amelia perez who was the trans drug lord that movie come on now i have not seen it but it's a trans drug lord musical.
[335] Okay.
[336] Okay.
[337] All right.
[338] Stop it.
[339] And then they found some racist, god -awful tweets from the trans star Carla Sophia Gascot.
[340] She's lucky.
[341] He's lucky.
[342] It's lucky.
[343] Her, her, whatever.
[344] However she identifies, he identifies, they identify.
[345] They will be lucky to be able to be allowed at the Oscars for those tweets.
[346] Yeah, it could be over at any time.
[347] But I'll let you know what happened.
[348] You know, the other day we talked about the outbreak in the Congo, and the numbers are continuing to rise.
[349] They're even more.
[350] It's like a daily rise.
[351] So right now they're saying at least 60 people have died.
[352] More than 1 ,000 have been infected by this unknown illness in the Northwestern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
[353] That's the DRC to you and me. And according to the World Health Organization, symptoms of the uncontrolled bleeding vomiting and diarrhea plus resemble the highly contagious ebola and marburg viruses but they say that it's that's not it uh they've ruled them out they don't even know what it is they don't know what it is so they tried to blame it on these kids that apparently ate a dead bat i mean how many times as a kid did you run around and eat a dead bat i mean I can't count.
[354] I can't count the times.
[355] I could remember finding a bat that was almost dead when I was a kid.
[356] That's a fact.
[357] Then I went back, put him in a jar, kept him in a jar for quite some time.
[358] Don't look at me like that.
[359] It was a bat.
[360] Do not look at me like that.
[361] But I will say, even though I had the bat in a jar and it was almost dead, and then eventually it died, even though I poked holes in the jar's cap so the air would get in, Well, not from the bat anyway.
[362] So they don't know what it is.
[363] They have no idea.
[364] So the WHO is reportedly testing patients for a variety of potential causes, including food poisoning and typhoid.
[365] Food poisoning in the DRC?
[366] Kids are eating bats, okay?
[367] Could be typhoid.
[368] You didn't test for that?
[369] Is it bird flu?
[370] Is it rhinoceros goo -fu?
[371] I mean, what is it?
[372] Is it elephant dung flu?
[373] I mean, I don't know.
[374] You'd think they'd want to know, and they do want to know.
[375] They're trying to find out.
[376] But if you're planning on going to the DRC, I don't know if a mask will help you or not.
[377] Maybe postpone the trip.
[378] Maybe you postpone the trip, because if you don't, you may come back and...
[379] All right, and we have to revisit who died today, yesterday.
[380] Gene Hackman died, and he was 95, and the wife was, I don't know, 64, and one of their dogs died that they were found on the property.
[381] We talked about it yesterday, and it's sad, sad news.
[382] They better give...
[383] They better give Gene Hackman a good retrospective at the Oscars.
[384] I'll tell you that.
[385] It better not be just a picture of who died this year.
[386] Every year they have the in memoriam segment where they just show faces of the stars that died.
[387] Gene Hackman better get more than that.
[388] I'll tell you that.
[389] He's a two -time Oscar winner.
[390] And I don't know how many other movies he was in.
[391] Let's say he was in, I don't know, a hundred.
[392] But I'm sure it was more if you look at the IMDb.
[393] In fact, let's do that.
[394] Like I said, 100.
[395] 101 movies, okay?
[396] As an actor, 101.
[397] As a producer, one.
[398] Stunts, one.
[399] And then he apparently helped with the soundtrack or something.
[400] But I was pretty darn close.
[401] Pretty darn close.
[402] I was under, so I win.
[403] I didn't go over.
[404] I didn't go over, so I win.
[405] If you were playing...
[406] the price is right that is anyway so now we have updated information on this death the sad death of of of gene hackman and his wife and his dog one of his dogs so authorities said the deaths are now suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation after finding the door to the couple's home was unsecured and opened and an open orange prescription pill bottle and pills scattered around the room where Hackman's wife, the classical pianist Betsy Arakoa, and one of their German shepherd dogs were discovered.
[407] Betsy was found, and I feel like this term came from a deputy sheriff that doesn't know what he's talking about.
[408] Betsy, the wife, was found mummified and bloated.
[409] When the two were discovered dead with their dog in their New Mexico home.
[410] I just feel like a bloated yes, because they hadn't been seen for a couple of weeks.
[411] So your body starts bloating after about a week, really.
[412] And I mean, you're starting to smell.
[413] But the whole mummification thing, I feel like after a week or seven days, you're not really...
[414] I guess maybe you're drying up, maybe, or whatever.
[415] I feel like that's the wrong term.
[416] Anyway, they were still dead, whether it was mummified or not.
[417] Deputies noted that it appeared, that's the wife, obvious signs of death, body decomposition, bloating.
[418] Her face and mummification in both hands and feet, which I think they were just shrinking, right?
[419] They're shrinking up.
[420] That's all that meant.
[421] When she was found on the floor of the bathroom near the home's entry, all right, the door into the couple's home sits on six acres, 8 ,000 square feet.
[422] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[423] No forced entry or theft that they know about.
[424] I mean, somebody could have, you know.
[425] Poisoned him, gone in there and taken, you know, maybe Gene Hackman had, you know, a $10 million diamond in a safe.
[426] You don't know that.
[427] You don't know that.
[428] So, I mean, he was Lex Luthor.
[429] Hey, you don't know.
[430] You don't know.
[431] I also know the report that a black space heater was found near Arakoa's head.
[432] That's the way.
[433] A responding officer said he suspected...
[434] The heater could have fallen in the event the female abruptly fell to the ground.
[435] Thank you, officer.
[436] The couple deceased dog was located about 10 to 15 away from Arakawa, that's the wife, inside the bathroom's closet.
[437] Meanwhile, Hackman's body was found in what deputies believe was the mudroom near a pair of sunglasses.
[438] Officers wrote in the report that appeared he had suddenly fallen.
[439] Thank you, officer.
[440] So, we've got it on.
[441] We don't know.
[442] It could be anything.
[443] It's really weird.
[444] It still could be what I talked about yesterday, murder -suicide.
[445] It could be...
[446] It's not like a notebook thing where they both just curled up and died together.
[447] He's 95.
[448] She's 65.
[449] She still has plenty of years left.
[450] and the dog and the poor dog i mean who's going around killing dog anyway it's the words the quoted documentary coming to america shame what they did to that dog anyway uh they didn't say what kind of pills they were nothing so you don't know i mean the dogs could have got into it there were still dogs a couple of dogs alive on the property they said and they could the dogs could have come and gone like somebody better feed me i'm uh what's going on around here why are you guys lying around here but Somebody better find me some vood.
[451] So you just don't know.
[452] But they better have, I mean, the man won two Oscars.
[453] He's been in over 100 movies.
[454] They better have, this all started with me telling you they better have a decent retrospective for Gene Hackman.
[455] So if they need somebody to voice the retrospective, I've done plenty of retrospectives before.
[456] I could give you a Gene Hackman retrospective.
[457] And at the end, they all have the same.
[458] dead at the age of 95.
[459] Well, they have different ages, but they all end up dead.
[460] And for those of you listening live, which I've said multiple times during this broadcast, today is the final day of February 2025, the 28th.
[461] Today is also a day that's supposed to be an economic boycott, blackout day.
[462] We're not supposed to buy anything.
[463] We're supposed to be sending a clear message.
[464] We have the power.
[465] And so don't spend any money.
[466] And that means no shopping online, ordering from restaurant chains, or filling up at the gas station, okay?
[467] Don't do any of it.
[468] Because it's an economic blackout, okay?
[469] This initiative is a way...
[470] for consumers to flex their economic power by not spending any money for 24 hours, starting at 12 .01 a .m. today.
[471] So it's already going on.
[472] That economic blackout is already going on.
[473] And we're dismantling so many things in this country, said, what's his stupid name?
[474] John Schwartz, the founder of the People's Union USA, lives in Chicago.
[475] He's a 57 -year -old meditation teacher.
[476] He came up with the idea for the boycott as he was, I'm sure, meditating.
[477] I'm sorry, searching for a way to take action in response to the tumultuous start of the Trump administration, which moved aggressively to shrink the federal government.
[478] That's a good thing, John.
[479] I guess maybe to you it isn't.
[480] So not buying things.
[481] is going to point out how bad shrinking the federal government is.
[482] Is that where we're at?
[483] What we should do is...
[484] Oh, man. That's pretty good.
[485] The other day, I was meditating, and I was thinking, you know what we should do?
[486] is we should probably just stop buying on stuff.
[487] And that would really show them, show Trump and those people that are trying to sink the government, you know, just exactly well.
[488] It would show them.
[489] It would show them, you know, just how, how mad we are we shouldn't buy any gas we shouldn't buy you know any goods any restaurants or nothing i already bought my my my pot so good i guess that doesn't count because i didn't buy it from a big retailer pretty good though you can't get that at a retailer what the what are we doing this is so stupid seriously i am I'm done.

[496] I'm sure even the People's Union USA.
[497] would say that, you know what?
[498] Spending money on the Cameo app at WJFR worth every doggone penny, even if it is on Blackout Friday.
[499] It's Friday.
[500] So that means it's time for what's being called America's favorite game show, What's the Lie?
[501] What's the lie?
[502] Where contestants try to decipher the lie from four.
[503] Count them, one, two, three, four headlines.
[504] One of them is not true, thus that's where we get what's the lie.
[505] Our contestant today, Ben Duncan.
[506] If he wins, not only will he get to come back for another round, he will win a Talking Sense Jeffy Blue Freshie.
[507] And for more information, you can go to the Talking Sense Facebook group and find the Freshie Scented Design just for you.

[509] Ben, welcome to What's the Lie.
[510] How are you, my friend?
[511] I'm doing better than I should be, Jeffy.
[512] That is fantastic.
[513] I'm excited to be here.
[514] Now, Ben, prior to you requesting to be a contestant on What's the Lie, you had submitted some jokes of the day, and you were putting your family to work, if I remember correctly.
[515] You had the kids writing jokes, correct?
[516] That is accurate, yeah.
[517] That is awesome.
[518] You need to keep that up.
[519] Keep them working.
[520] Keep cracking the whip on that.
[521] I love that.
[522] I don't know what it is, but I've got 20 -year -old boys.
[523] They love making up jokes.
[524] Some are better than others.
[525] Of course.
[526] That's for sure.
[527] That's the way it works, but it's a creative process.
[528] You've got to continue to write them.
[529] Right, right.
[530] They need to be refined a lot of times, and that's where mom and dad step in.
[531] That's awesome.
[532] I love it.
[533] I would make them write jokes every day.
[534] Just continue with that creative process.
[535] That is awesome.
[536] The ones that you've refined and that you feel that are...
[537] you know, revised enough to make it, I say you send them in, ChewingTheFatAtTheBlaze .com.
[538] I'll do that.
[539] I'll do that.
[540] We'll make it.
[541] So the three little ones, the boys and the seven -year -old, they're homeschooled, so we can make that part of the curriculum.
[542] I mean, I'm here for you.
[543] The Chewing the Fat homeschool curriculum is an important curriculum, I think.
[544] Professor Jeffy.
[545] I think.
[546] I mean, I'm not officially a professor, but go ahead.
[547] You can call me one.
[548] That's fine.
[549] I don't have a problem with that.
[550] We'll do that.
[551] Okay.
[552] All right.
[553] So you ready to play?
[554] I'm ready.
[555] All right.
[556] Four headlines.
[557] The one not real.
[558] What's the lie?
[559] Headline number one.
[560] A decade ago, the dress united and divided us.
[561] Couldn't happen today.
[562] Headline number two.
[563] Scientists say they've discovered why Mars is red.
[564] Headline number three.
[565] Couple forced to sit next to a dead body on a plane for four hours after a woman dies mid -flight.
[566] Headline number four.
[567] Adult magic training camps are exploding in the American South.
[568] Those are your four headlines.
[569] Headline number one.
[570] A decade ago, the dress united and divided us.
[571] Couldn't happen today.
[572] Headline number two.
[573] Scientists say they've discovered why Mars is red.
[574] Headline number three.
[575] A couple forced to sit next to a dead body on the plane for four hours after a woman dies mid -flight.
[576] Headline number four.
[577] Adult magic training camps are exploding in the American South.
[578] Those are your four headlines, Ben.
[579] What is the lie?
[580] All right.
[581] Well, I understand the process is to talk it out.
[582] The process is whatever works for you because I've got nothing but time for you.
[583] I've got nothing but time for you, Ben.
[584] I know one and three for sure.
[585] The dress, is it blue and gold or black and white or whatever the colors were?
[586] I know that.
[587] Okay.
[588] And I know the dead body.
[589] You talked about that one the other day.
[590] I did.
[591] I appreciate you listening to the show.
[592] Thank you.
[593] I was listening intently this week, Jeffy, because I know sometimes you bring those back into the game.
[594] I do.
[595] Smart man. Mars, I thought that was discovered decades ago.
[596] I thought it was because of iron in the soil or something to that effect.
[597] So I don't know if you're bringing up ancient articles or if there's a new discovery.
[598] Magic camps for adults?
[599] Anything's possible.
[600] Uh, it's gotta be two or four.
[601] I'm going to say, I'm going to say what's the lie.
[602] I'm going to go out on a limb.
[603] I'm going to say, I'm going to say number two is the lie.
[604] Oh, dude.
[605] Dude.
[606] I'm so sad.
[607] You're telling me Southerners are not going to Magic Kingdom.
[608] Oh, my gosh.
[609] I am.
[610] I mean, I wanted you to win, too, Ben.
[611] You worked it out so perfectly.
[612] I can't take it.
[613] Thanks for listening.
[614] Thanks for playing.
[615] We're done.
[616] What's the lie?
[617] The subsidiary of Chewing the Fat Enterprises.
[618] All information is probably accurate at the time of recording.
[619] CTFWTLMMXXV Dude.
[620] Dude.
[621] Oh, I was right there.
[622] You worked it all out perfectly.
[623] I thought for sure you had the Jeffy Blue Freshie in the palm of your hand.
[624] You snatched victory from the hands of the teeth of defeat.
[625] So tell me this.
[626] The Mars, is that a new article?
[627] Yeah, why it's read.
[628] The new research upended the popular theory of the iron stuff.
[629] Oh.
[630] Yeah.
[631] Okay.
[632] Just saying.
[633] I'm embarrassed.
[634] No, don't be embarrassed.
[635] It was awesome.
[636] I mean, you got one of your six -year -old jokes?
[637] I'm sorry, I'll rephrase.
[638] Do you have one of your jokes from your six -year -olds?
[639] No, but I'll give you one of the twins' jokes.
[640] They're 10 now, but this is probably...
[641] when they were eight or nine.
[642] Okay.
[643] Uh, all right.
[644] Awesome.
[645] Uh, it go.
[646] Let's see.
[647] How does it go?
[648] Okay.
[649] So what did the sun, what did the sun say to the good boy?
[650] What did the sun say to, what did the sun say to the good boy?
[651] What did this?
[652] I don't know.
[653] What did the sun say to the good boy?
[654] Stay golden.
[655] There's a lot of revision.
[656] There's a lot of revised things that needs to happen.
[657] I appreciate it.
[658] It's a work in progress.
[659] Yeah, it's a work in progress.
[660] We'll send the final cut.
[661] I'll send the final cut.
