Starting point is 00:01:09 Sure, he does multiple songs in other languages than English. But congratulations to Bad Bunny for performing at the next Super Bowl. I know that the NFL is in collaboration with Apple Music and Rock Nation, that's Jay-Z, who, and they say they aim to celebrate music and culture, making the Super Bowl a unique event that transcends the game itself. Isn't that special? Well, congratulations. Because I wouldn't want you to choose, you know,
Starting point is 00:01:45 a guy like, oh, I don't know, Zach Bryan, who just sold out the University of Michigan Stadium and now has a record for the most ticketed concert sales attendance of 112,408 fans there at the University of Michigan Stadium. He will remember it forever. And of course, John Mayer was there. And they had other opening acts, Keenan O'Meara, Joshua Sloan, Ryan Bingham, and the Texas gentlemen were all there for this concert.
Starting point is 00:02:16 The sold-out show had two and a half hours of Zach. So congratulations to Zach for. setting the record of the largest concert in U.S. history, the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history. But also congratulations to Bad Bunny, who is going to be performing at the Super Bowl. Yeah, you understand why Apple Music and Rock Nation wants to celebrate music and culture that make the Super Bowl a unique event that transcends the game itself. Yeah, let's Let's get somebody like bad bunny instead of someone who is selling out stadiums. Makes perfect sense.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Oh, boy. Heads up, about 58 million pounds. You heard me. 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage on a stick products are being recalled. across the U.S. Get them out of your freezers.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Check them now. Because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter, with several consumers reporting injuries. So according to a notice published by the Agricultural Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, love them. The recall covers select state fair corn dogs on a stick and Jimmy Dean pancakes and sausage on a stick. products from Texas-based Hillshire brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods.
Starting point is 00:04:06 The contamination problem was discovered after Hillshire received multiple consumer complaints, five of which involved injuries. The company later determined that a limited number of these products included extraterraneous pieces of wooden stick within the batter. And our corresponding announcement to recall these products, we are doing this out of an abundance of caution. Uh-huh. The recalled corn dogs and sausage on a stick goods were produced between March 17th and as recently as this past Friday.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Wow. Tyson, which is headquartered in Arkansas, Arkansas said the issue was isolated to one facility located in Haltam, Texas. Wow. I mean, that's right here in the DFW area. So heads up. If you love the state fair corn dogs on a stick Or Jimmy Dean pancakes and sausage on a stick, You're urged to throw them away
Starting point is 00:05:06 Or return them to their place of purchase To determine which corn dogs and other sausage goods Are subject of this recall. You can check out the website. But I would say that if you have state fair Corn Dogs on a stick, which I've eaten before, love them. good and Jimmy Dean pancakes and sausage on a stick. Sadly, I've eaten those as well.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I'm pretty sure I don't have any in my freezers as we speak, but I'm going to double check when I get home. I'll tell you that because I want my money back because I could have eaten wood, chips of wood and not knowing it. Someone in my family could have been harmed. So check your freezers and make sure that you don't have any of the 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage on a stick products state fair corn dogs on a stick and Jimmy Dean pancakes
Starting point is 00:06:07 and sausage on a stick all recalled. You know I mentioned the Zach Bryan concert at the Big House at the University of Michigan and you know congratulations I know but you know the record prior to
Starting point is 00:06:22 Zach Brian was set by George Strait. Remember he played at Texas A&M's Kyle Field last year, and he drew 110,9505, almost 111,000. And George Strait did that, you know, on his own. Took Zach Bryan
Starting point is 00:06:41 and John Mayer and Kenan O'Meara, Joshua Sloan, Ryan Bingham, and the Texas gentleman to bring in 112,000. I'm sorry, 112,480. But, you know, they did it, and congratulations. It was cool, and the pictures were really cool of the concert as well at the big house. I don't know if you were in bed there. It's in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It's incredible. The crowd there is always on fire for the University of Michigan football. And now apparently they're going to start allowing concerts at the big house, too, more to come. That brought in quite a bit of money. And the university's like, you know, that's not a bad idea. We can start having giant concerts here and, you know, make some money for the university. Yeah, there you go. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:07:27 am surprised that it's actually a record that Taylor Swift doesn't have. She's got all the other records. And she'll probably play there her next tour. She's got a new album coming out. The Life of a Showgirl will feature 12 tracks, but it's not all about the music. Swift, oh, what? I thought it was. Her last Worldwide tour brought in an estimated $2.2 billion, but it's estimated that her fans spent billions beyond that sum on travel, hotels, food, and more. Yeah. Swift will be having released parties at theaters across the U.S. this weekend where fans can see her newest music video as well as other exclusive footage. Oh my gosh, isn't that beautiful?
Starting point is 00:08:11 It is. It's going to feature 12 tracks. But the life of a showgirl, oh, it'll be so good. I can't wait. I mean, it's going to make a fortune for her. So if you hadn't heard, if you're a Swifty. What kind of Swifty are you, if you hadn't heard about this already. I'd be ready to go to the theaters this weekend because you're going to want to be a part of the Taylor Swift release party.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And as long as we're talking about parties, I see where Dali Parton has postponed, not canceled, postponed her Las Vegas concerts at Caesar's Palace scheduled for December. Wow. because that was all part of her birthday bash, right? She turns 80 in January and this was supposed to be the big buildup to her birthday.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Apparently, she needs a few procedures according to her doctors. In a post shared to social media, the country icon shared that she won't be able to properly rehearse and prepare for her Vegas shows due to her health and that she wants to be at her best when she's ready to return to the stage.
Starting point is 00:09:22 She also revealed the new day, which are set for September of 26. Wow, that's a long time. I hope she is fully recovered by then. Holy cow, that went almost a year. I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. I've been dealing with some health challenges. She says, as many of you know.
Starting point is 00:09:46 My doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000 mile checkup, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon. In all seriousness, given this, I'm not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform,
Starting point is 00:10:10 and I want to be at my best for you. Okay. She's not retiring. She just needs a little time. I don't think she said what the procedures are, but she leaned into it by saying that, She, you know, it's time for her 100,000 checkup, which is cute. And it's not, she's leaned into the plastic surgery, which is always good.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I mean, her husband just passed away, right, a little while ago. So now she's kind of probably been down in the dumps a little bit. And now things are starting to, you know, the doctors are advising her. She needs a few procedures. Wow. Okay. So, I mean, good luck to Dolly. And, you know, prayers all.
Starting point is 00:10:54 around for for dolly parton because according to her medical professionals she needs a few procedures wow i mean who doesn't who among us look to your left uh few procedures yep look to your right yep few procedures yeah we all do welcome to the party dolly so we're coming up on the end of September, if you're listening live, today is the 29th of September, but all this past month, it was national preparedness month. Now, you can still be prepared, even if it isn't in September. You know that, right? Okay, good. So it's, uh, it's just a reminder in September that it's always smart to be ready for whatever comes our way. There couldn't be a better time to prepare than right now. Uh, we don't know what we're heading into. Are we heading into a recession? Is there going to be a, uh,
Starting point is 00:12:18 natural disaster, really we don't know. You just need to be prepared. So whether it happens or not, it makes sense to be prepared. Preparedness isn't fear-based. It's just common sense, having the right supplies on hand, giving you the peace of mind that even if others start to panic, you're ready. That's why Jace Medical provides real-world solutions.

Starting point is 00:14:00 All right, well, we're in the semifinals of Fat Bear Week. I know. It's a tough one. Voting will have started. By the time you're listening to this show today, the voting in the semifinals will be taking place, So you can go to the link that I'll put in the show notes to take you to the Fat Bear Week voting page. But it's already started.
Starting point is 00:14:24 So we're going to have 602, Bear 602 versus 32 chunk, which, man, they're both really, really fat. 32 chunk, I think, I think deserves to win that, of course. And then the poll, too, is 128 Grazer versus 856. And I will say this, and I talked about this earlier, the picture they're using, I feel like as a little slam on 128 Grazer because it doesn't look as big as Bear 856. So I feel like they don't want Grazer to win for a third time because Grazer's won back to back. So we need to get your votes in for 128 Grazer because, I think the bias, the way this picture is taken, grazer doesn't look as big as Grazer is.
Starting point is 00:15:12 So, you know, I think 856 has a good shot there when you look at the bracket. And then we have the finals tomorrow. So the winners of those two brackets head to the finals tomorrow for the winner of Fat Bear Week. And yeah, I'm rooting for 128 Grazer to be a three-peat. But, boy, it doesn't look good. And I think it's probably going to come down to 8.56 versus 32 chunk, would be my guess. I hope not. I'm voting for 128 grazer.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I'll tell you that, and I'm voting for 32 Chunk. Maybe I should vote for 602 because I think Chunk may have a better chance. But, yeah, so get there a fat bear week, and we got a
Starting point is 00:16:00 rooting on 128 grazer. I'm just calling them out on their picture that they're using for 128 grazer. I feel like it's biased. And they're working, it works against her winning a third time. And I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Those of you that listen to the Saturday show, Saturday morning live with myself and Brad Staggs this week, we did talk about this endangered leopard sharks that have been observed mating in the wild for the first time and that scientists witnessed a threesome. Oh yeah. And taking care of a little business with the old, with the other sharks going on with the leopard sharks.
Starting point is 00:16:43 But as I was, and we were joking about that and which were the men and which were, which the pictures that they had were, which one were the two, was it two females, was it two females, was it three females, was it three men? Was it two males and one female? And so I did some investigating for you, the chewing the fat audience. I wouldn't do that for Saturday morning live, but I did some investigating for chewing the fat. Okay, so apparently, according to the experts, it involved two males and a female. Now, let me say this. As I'm reading about this,
Starting point is 00:17:14 it sounds more like a rape than it does a mating exercise. I think a scientist are looking at this the wrong way. Maybe not. Maybe it is, you know, they're so, they so want to say, oh, threesomes are fine. Threesomes are fine. People are fine with it. That's okay. Even in the animal world, that's all they do is threesome.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Threesomes are fine. Monogamous relationships are for the birds or the fish or the sharks. Anyway, so as I'm reading about this, leopard sharks are known to congregate at a site at certain times of the year. We suspect this aggregation to be for mating purposes. Well, duh, okay. But they talk about during this dive, the scientist came across two males
Starting point is 00:18:01 grabbing a female's pectoral fins with their mouth. Recognized the potential significance of what he was seeing. He filmed the sharks for 90. minutes to make the first known recording of such an event. According to the paper, the three sharks, all of which were around seven and a half feet in length were spotted on the sea floor. Both males held onto the female who would occasionally struggle to free herself for more than an hour.
Starting point is 00:18:30 She kept trying to get away. One of the males then mated with the female for 63 seconds before the second male did the same lasting 47 seconds. After copulating, the two males lay immobile in the sea floor as the female was able to swim away. Okay, so the scientist says, yeah, these males are simply exhausted by the process, holding a female while she's trying to free herself all the time and mating with her while swimming is just taking all the male's energy. It's nothing to do with it. He wasn't even thinking about it. You know, these two males are raping this female.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Okay, Mr. Scientist, you got it. No problem. I realize that maybe, you know what we need to do is we need to study a little bit more on the reproductive behavior and the spatial ecology of leopard sharks. And then we'll inform, you know, the ongoing conservation efforts targeting the species. Yeah, just let me know. Let me know how many other times you see two males raping a female. Is it considered rape if it's?
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's in the shark world in the ocean? Sure, yeah. It's not Me Too, it's Me Shark or Two Shark or Shark 2. Sure, that's what it is. But threesomes. Threesomes, that's what they were having. Threesomes. And, man, that's the way they do it is they have a threesome.
Starting point is 00:19:57 And they do it. Even in the wild, it's okay. You don't need to have one spouse. That's it. Even in the wilds, they just, they have threesome. So everything is good. Okay. Sure.
Starting point is 00:20:07 whatever you say. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink, desperately. Marshall's buyers travel 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. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes, too. And hustled all those wishless top. shopping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff. So we're coming up on Major League Baseball. I mean, Major League Baseball ended this weekend, and we got the playoffs happening. I think that begins tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:21:03 So Major League Baseball's postseason picture is now set. Yeah, they had two division titles and a remaining playoff birth decided yesterday. The Cleveland Guardian. and the Toronto Blue Jays both won their divisions. The Cincinnati Reds clinched the final wildcard spot over the New York Mets. The National League leading Milwaukee Brewers enter with the league's best record and will enjoy home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, star pitcher Clayton Kirschaw is set to retire.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I'm going to face the Cincinnati Reds in a wildcard round. You can check the, you know, there's the brackets and the times and everything. I'm sure, you know, if you want to catch some Major League Baseball, they're all ready to rock and roll. Plus, we had just the third time in history. Four players hit at least 50 home runs this year. It's been kind of exciting. Plus Seattle's Cal Rally, the big dumper, 60 home runs.
Starting point is 00:21:59 That's the seventh player to knock 60 or more home runs than a single season. So it's been kind of a fun Major League Baseball season. We'll see how the playoffs go. And then let's get to the National Football League, shall we? I mentioned them picking bad bunny for the halftime show, the Super Bowl, which I find a very, very strange choice. But also last night, the Dallas Cowboys took on the Green Bay Packers, or I should say the Green Bay Packers took on the Dallas Cowboys
Starting point is 00:22:29 because they were here in Dallas, Texas. Arlington is where the stadium is, Jeff. Yeah, I know. DFW. They are the Dallas Cowboys. And the game ended in a tie. Now, the score was 40-40, but it doesn't matter what the score is. How the NFL still allows regular season games to end in a tie is beyond me.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I don't understand it. I know they have a way that they are saying, well, we're not allowing it during the playoffs, so there can't be a tie in the playoffs. Yeah, well, no kidding. But to allow it in regular season is just maddening. And I don't understand it. I never liked it. It's really irked me for a long time.
Starting point is 00:23:10 my son knows how it irks me. In fact, he sent me a text, knowing I was in bed at the end of the game last night. I get a text in the middle of the night for my son. It's a tie. Because he's always joking about games ending in a tie because he knows I think how stupid it is. And I can't believe they allow that to happen any longer.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Now, I will say this, that maybe this is a good thing, that it happened here in Dallas, because the only owner that may have the strength and the power and the smarts and the wits, you would hope. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, may be able to fix the problem. And maybe he doesn't realize how important it is to actually not have a tie until it's now affected him. Now, maybe Jerry isn't batting, you know, full strength like he was years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:05 You know, you can you could make that argument as well. However, still the owner. still a man, and he could definitely get the other owners on board to end this madness of allowing a tie at the end of a regular season game. Just I don't understand it. As long as we're talking about sports, we might as well mention the Ryder Cup, the America lost, which is very disheartening. Apparently, when I remember we did the story here on chewing the fat that the UK golfers were, preparing for the Ryder Cup with
Starting point is 00:24:44 virtual reality glasses where they were preparing for the hecklers here in the U.S. And I guess it worked. I guess the preparing worked. And they won and they kicked America's butt. Even the president showed up, tried to boost the team along,
Starting point is 00:25:02 giving them a little excitement. Everybody wanted America, well, here in America. And yet, no, it did not happen. So, congratulations. Congratulations to the UK for winning the Riter Cup against the United States of America. Yeah. And so very disappointing.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Very disappointing. And I see where the actor Rick, the actor comedian Rick Moranis officially ends his retirement. Yeah, he's coming back. He's coming back for Space Balls 2, the sequel. I mean, if you're going to come to. come out of retirement. You may as well come out for Space Balls 2. Sure, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Space Wall 2, the sequel. There's pictures of the full cast and they've been doing readings and they're getting together. Apparently they're going to land in studios in 2027. So, congratulations to Rick Moranis from coming out of retirement to do Space Balls. too. I mean, he's only 72. So, I mean, it feels kind of weird to say that he's coming out of retirement, but okay, no problem. It's been a while since he's been on the screen. You know, I was
Starting point is 00:26:23 reading about him. He was married and he lost his wife. I mean, he had a couple of kids and then he lost his wife from cancer. And then he just, he raised his kids. Pretty, it's pretty cool. Really, really, really, really cool. You know, he was, uh, he was, uh, he was entertainer and then I fell in love and had some kids and then his wife got sick and died and he instead of burying his head in work buried his head in the work of raising his kids that's pretty commendable uh so anyway rick is coming out of retirement for uh space balls to what was the number one movie this weekend oh yeah one battle after another yeah of course it was um 22.4 million domestic 48.5 million global,
Starting point is 00:27:10 debut on $130 million budget. Yeah, DiCaprio, Paul Thomas Anderson, action epic film. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be number one for a couple weeks. Gabby's Dalhouse, the movie, 13.9 million domestic. I mean, it didn't cost anything to make, so they'll be happy about that.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Demon Slayer, Infinity Castle. Still hanging in there at number three with 7.1 million domestic. Wow, it's down over 60% now. They've made $602.8 million globally for Demon Slayer Infinity Castle on a $20 million budget. Wow. That's an anime juggernaut. If I'm not mistaken, that's the first of three, right?
Starting point is 00:27:51 I'll make a fortune from those. The Conjuring Last Rights, week four, $6.9 million. They've already 435 million global on that. Good for them. Strangers, Chapter 2, the second week. Oh, no, this is new. The Strangers, Chapter 2, which is new. 5.9 million, $8.5 million budget. Middle chapter, opened to half of what Chapter 1 managed last year.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Okay, all right, that's a trilogy. Really, big deal. Him, 3.7 million domestic, so it's made $21 million, it's made $22 million global. Wow, nobody got it. Nobody caught it, though. When you watch that, it seems like that's going to be a, good watch, but it'll be a good watch at home.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Not at the theater, because it looked, I don't know, I don't think anybody understood what it was. Him. The Long Walk, how are we doing on the Long Walk? 34.7 million global, $20 million budget, made $3 million. Wow, that movie should have been better than that. Maybe Stephen King should have kept his mouth shut. Downton Abbey, the grand finale. They've made 77 million global.
Starting point is 00:29:05 $50 million budget. Wow, it costs them $50 million to make the grand finale of Don Abbey. Yeah, they need to sell that to a streaming. The Bold Beautiful Journey, Spider-Man 2 re-release, got a million, so good for them. Those are your top movies for this weekend.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And I do, I do. You know, I can't, like all these movies that are, you know, number one, like one battle after another, number one movie at the theater. Am I going to watch that when it comes on streaming? Yes. Am I going to go to a theater to see DiCaprio? Do.

Starting point is 00:32:59 He has been, I think he's been at the top since 2018, I think. So, rest in peace to Russell M. Nelson, president of the Church of Jesus. Christ of Latter-day Saints. He died at his home in Salt Lake City. He was the oldest serving president in the history of the LDS Church. Apparently, he has died peacefully at his home. He has served as an apostle beginning
Starting point is 00:33:25 in 1984 and became the church's leader in 2013. Right, that's what I thought. His ministry spanned more than 30 countries and U.S. territories. He was also internationally recognized heart surgeon who helped develop an artificial heart and lung machine. Wow, good for him.
Starting point is 00:33:44 So rest in peace to Russell M. Nelson dead at the age of 101. Then we have Sarah Jane Moore, Sarah Jane Moore, dead at the age of 95. If you don't know who she is, she fired and tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford outside of San Francisco's St. Francis Hotel in 19, She died in Franklin, Tennessee at a nursing home. And when you think to yourself, hey, she tried to kill a president, what the heck is going on? How is she dying at a nursing home?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Well, they let her out in 2007. She was paroled. But I thought she got life in prison. Yeah, she did, but we let her out. Her story is pretty incredible. She, you know, purchased a 38. and then when she went to shoot, she squeezed off one shot
Starting point is 00:34:44 and then a bystander, a former Marine, shoved her arm as she pulled the trigger again, sending the bullet into a taxi driver instead of the president. Secret service agents rushed forward into his limousine and they tackled more and there you have it. Now, she pleaded guilty
Starting point is 00:35:01 and was sentenced to life, escaping briefly, so we gave her life in prison, She escaped from federal prison, but then she was recaptured within hours. And then after 32 years behind bars, we said, I guess life isn't really life. And we're going to go ahead and parole her and let her die in a nursing home. It's incredible. She's been out since 2007 after trying to kill one of our presidents.
Starting point is 00:35:28 You know, she did this. And then that was right after Squeaky, Squeaky Fromm, tried to kill. uh, Gerald Ford in Sacramento. And, uh, just incredibly. I guess it,
Starting point is 00:35:44 those, those two, 17 days apart, uh, trying to kill Gerald Ford, uh, changed the way the Secret Service, uh,
Starting point is 00:35:52 did their work. And you can see that, you know, now they've got a little lax it appears, but, uh, so I guess, rest in peace to
Starting point is 00:36:02 Sarah Jane Moore, dead, the age of 95. Yeah, sure. Let's do that. No problem. And then we have Asada Shakur, Asada Shakur, who is a black liberation activist who was given political asylum in Cuba after her 1979 escaped from a U.S. prison where she was serving a life sentence for killing a police officer. She has passed away, according to her daughter and the Cuban government. She, according to United States officials, was 78. She'd been arrested, convicted, and imprisoned.
Starting point is 00:36:45 She was 78. She was a member of the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, and she, her case has been, you know, wrought with bad relations between U.S. and Cuba. And including, remember President Trump during his first time, they demanded her return from the communist nation for decades. She was on the most wanted terrorist list. So anyway, she is dead, and I guess rest in peace. Sure.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Asada Shakur, black liberation activists who killed a police officer, was tried and convicted, was supposed to be serving life in our prison. But then went to Cuba. I guess living in Cuba was probably bad enough for her. But that's where she died in Havana. So rest in peace, I guess. to Asada Shagor, dead at the age of 78.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Then we have a McKenna White, McKenna White, girlfriend of PGA star Jake Knaap, dead at the age of 28. Now, it doesn't say a cause of death, but it says that we will remember her for her rare way of making you feel special and her huge heart. she has died at the age of 28.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Now it says here at the end that you can make donations to the Uri Brain Health and Memory Clinic or the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund. So she must have had something pretty wrong with her. Yes, she was, wow, okay, she was 20, she was 28, she was eventually diagnosed
Starting point is 00:38:28 with Alzheimer's. Wow. Wait a second. Now stop, just a second. Let's wait a minute. So that was because of her mother, not her. So her mother had Alzheimer's, and she did not have. So it says give donations there.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Wow, this, she may have committed suicide. Wow. I don't know, maybe a drug overdose, but it doesn't, because we're giving money to the place that helped her mom, not her. Wow. her mom died in 22 so she's been struggling with that since then
Starting point is 00:39:08 I don't know I don't know rest in peace to McKenna Jake Knap's girlfriend McKenna White at the age of 28 but if she did in fact commit suicide just remember that if you're listening
Starting point is 00:39:25 to this and you feel like the earth will be better without you on it you're wrong dial 988 is the lifel and a helpline that if you, you know, can help you through some of your issues because the world is not a better place without you in it. And we can't go without mentioning the church parishioners,
Starting point is 00:39:48 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons in Grand Blank, Michigan, as an assailant targeted that church yesterday, killing at least four people and wounding at least eight others. And we heard this morning that it's possible that there were still four missing, who were probably in the fire. Really, really sad. The suspect is a 40-year-old
Starting point is 00:40:08 Iraq veteran, Thomas Jacob Sanford. They did not publicly disclose a motive as of this writing, although I watched an interview before I recorded this show with a guy in Michigan, a news guy in Michigan, that, what the heck was his stupid name?
Starting point is 00:40:30 Dave Bondi, has those stupid names. It's just joking Dave. Dave Bondi, who I guess is a former newsman who is now doing his investigative journalism online and doing a substack. He did an interview with the guy who's running for office in Burton County, Grand Blank there, or Grand Blank County in Michigan, where he said this guy who was running for office ran into the shooter a week or so ago and was just talking because he was out running for office
Starting point is 00:41:00 and he was glad-handed, you know, looking for votes. and he said all of a sudden as they were talking, the guy just went off on how much he hated Mormons and it was a cult. And so he's like, okay, time to get out of here. So I guess that could be a motive. Yeah, I hate those, them there, damn Mormons. I hate him.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Just really, really weird. I guess, and really it went from, I guess he had a girlfriend from Utah, and then he could, he probably did something about his tattoos and not becoming Mormon. It's really convoluted. And so I'm sure his hatred was completely convoluted as well. Until he drove his pickup truck into the church.
Starting point is 00:41:43 And people thought it was an accident. And then they came out. And of course, he started firing on them. And then it was set on fire. The police arrived as fast as possible. I'd be within like 30 seconds they were there and took him down. And so rest in peace to all the souls who were lost. in this church fire and church shooting in Grand Blank, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And then we had a shooting in Southport, North Carolina, where a separate combat veteran killed at least three people and wounded eight others as he came up on this restaurant from a boat and started shooting people. And just incredible. And now they caught him. They didn't put him down. He has been arrested.
Starting point is 00:42:28 And so rest in peace to anyone who is coming. killed there at the bar in Southport, North Carolina. I was told this morning that our own Steve Baker's son was performing at this bar. I don't know if he was dancing, if he was performing. I guess he's in a band. Because it wasn't a pole dancer or anything going on. It was some kind of musician. And they were performing there at that bar.
Starting point is 00:42:54 So, you know, just stay vigilant. And it's so sad. And say your prayers. Say your prayers. because the country needs it. So I'm reading this layout this weekend of 17 of the most unusual heist in history. And number one starts with the Nutella and Kinder Chocolate Egg Heist of 2017, which we definitely talked about on this show.
Starting point is 00:43:38 In August of 2017, thieves in the town of Neustadt, Germany, stole a refrigerated truck. filled up with 20 tons of Nutella and Kinder Chocolate, kind of chocolate eggs. The sugary haul had an estimated worth of around $80,000, which you would think it would be worth more than that. Anyway, leading law enforcement in Germany to warn citizens with some sage advice you should probably always follow.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Anyone offered large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels should report it to the police immediately. Mysteriously, a separate trailer filled with 30 tons of food. fruit juice was stolen that same weekend in a town of Wittenberg, around 260 miles northeast of the missing hazelnut spread. Yeah, I remember those. I don't know that that ever was recovered. And I will look into it.
Starting point is 00:44:30 I will look into that, see if that was ever recovered or if we ever arrested anybody for that heist. Because I don't think so. I think they got away with it. And in the number two, we'll have to go through these this week. A different heists every day. Heist of the day. Jesse James, the Clay County Savings Association robbery in 1866.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Jesse James, one of the most notorious criminals in American history, and though he was never officially linked to this particular crime, it's believed that James, or at least members of his gang, perpetrated what's believed to be the country's first ever documented peacetime daylight bank robbery on February 13, 1866 at the Clay County Savings Association in Liberty, Missouri. That day, a group of 10 to 13 men dressed as union officials, held the bank up for $60,000 in bonds, cash, and gold.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Wow, in 1866, that's a lot of money. You can quote me on that. The illicit operation had all the trappings of an old-timey stick-up, complete with petrified tellers and wheat sacks full of money. If James was involved, it would have been the first of an estimated 19 robberies that he took part in. So there you have it. Those are the, there's two of the top 17 heists, according to this story in history. All right, let's get out of here.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Let's do the joke of the day and get out of here. This joke of the day was sent to me. And I think I've done this joke before for you, but it still makes me laugh. So I'm going to share it again. sent this in and I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that I didn't want to go back and look through all the jokes that I've shared with you because then I would have to find another joke and I like this joke. It's funny. So I'm going to say it again anyway. And I don't want to know if I've done it already. If I have, laugh again. A man hires a blonde to paint his porch. He tells her that,
Starting point is 00:46:33 hey, the brushes and the paint and the ladders are in the garage. About 30 minutes later, he hears a knock on the door and answers it and the blonde says, hey, I'm all done. Wow, that was quick. Did you have enough paint? Yep, enough for two coats. And then the man thanks her and pays her. As she's leaving, she turns around and says, oh, by the way, that's not a Porsche.
Starting point is 00:46:57 That's a Ferrari. See, because she, no, you got it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. You know,
