With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide.
So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come.
That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Conditions apply.
Blaze Radio Network.
And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.
For those of you listening live, today is the 11th of July, 2025.
That means it's 7-Eleven.
Yeah, you get your free slurpees, that's right.
Yes, Slurpee Day.
Customers get their free, small slurpee from 7-Eleven and now also Speedway and Stripes convenience stores.
7-Eleven celebrating their 98th birthday.
And one of the cool things that they've added this year is the tongue to, which has the tattoo of the tongue.
It's a temporary tongue tattoo activated by the slurpee.
So you simply enjoy the slurpy drink, apply the tattoo on the tongue,
and wait for the big reveal.
And it gives you the big signature S
with either blue, green, red, or purple.
So go out and get your free slurpee from 7-11.
I will say this, a couple things.
I've noticed in the past that if you wait a little while,
and if you wait, if you go in too early,
they're out of small cups,
but the slurpees haven't re-frozen.
So you've got to wait.
So if you go in a little bit later, a little bit later on the day,
Slurpees have, they've done their second round and they're getting better,
and they're out of the smaller cubs, so you get a large slurpy.
I know, I know, I know.
I would say, I don't know, five, six o'clock afternoon, something like that.
And you don't have to, just go get your small slurpy.
It'd be awesome.
And if you're, you know, you could have their app or whatever,
you get more stuff and they're trying to give money away.
But whatever, just enjoy your free slurpy.
And to be honest, I mean,
are they going to charge you
if you were to fill up a large slurpy
on free slurpy day?
I feel like, no, I feel like, I feel like give it a shot.
I want to know if you go into a 7-Eleven today,
and I may have to try this myself,
if I go into 7-Eleven today,
and I just, it's a free slurpy day,
and they're going to have their cups out there,
the small cups, and I just grab a large cup
and I fill it up, and I thank you, and I walk out.
Are they shooting me dead for stealing a slurpy?
I don't.
think so. Yeah, I do not
think that's going to happen. I just don't.
It's just not going to happen.
Also, just a little update
as we head into today's
program, we're like
halfway through 2025.
The U.S.
has now reported 1,288
measles cases. I don't want to throw
you off on Free Slurpee Day, but I'm
just letting you know exactly.
Be careful who you're getting your free slurpees
with because
this is the highest total.
since 1992, according to the CDC.
And the outbreak in Texas obviously contributed to both the high number of the cases
and the first measles related U.S. deaths in a decade.
Though the cases have been reported in 39 states,
the U.S. has declared measles eliminated.
They did that back in 2000.
But cases have been spiking as vaccination rates have waned.
Yeah, they're going to throw that in there.
And of the people in the U.S. infected this year,
92% were unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccinated status.
So 8% or 92% many of those.
I don't know.
I don't know if I'm vaccinated or not.
But all I know is that.
Yeah.
So pretty sure if that's happening to you,
It's not measles, but you ought to get checked out anyway.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
So the other day, I'm listening to an interview with Rainmaker.
Whatever his, what's his face?
Augustus Dorico.
He's the Rainmaker Tech Corporation.
He's the CEO of Rainmaker.
I'm listening to an interview with him.
And he's fascinating.
I may talk to him here on chewing.
of that. It just was a fascinating interview
that I heard from Augustus.
And he is
talking about, you know, they want to talk to him because
he's cloud seeding and he's making
it rain over a number
of states. He has deals in
Texas and Idaho, Utah,
there's a couple more.
There's a couple of states that
won't allow him to do it.
Florida is one of them.
But his deal is that he did not create
the clouds that
caused the rain and caused the flood
in Texas. And that's what everybody is after
them about. That their company
had seeded clouds a couple days before
and that rain had already
dissipated by the time the other storm came through
and caused all this flooding. And the flooding
we're still, I mean
I think we're up to like 120,
121, the number of people who have
been found and
are deceased.
I think we're at like
160, 170 people.
on accounted for are still missing. It's just horrible. If you can, if you can, you know,
if you find it in your heart to help, Mercury 1, Mercury 1.org is on the ground down there.
Everything you donate 100% goes to the recovery efforts in, in the flooded areas. It's just
so horrible. And I was some of the, and then there's horrific stories and there's heroic stories
all coming from this disaster. So, you know, just,
credible. And if you can help, please do so. Mercury1.org. So I was, I was listening to the interview
with Raidmaker. And in the interview, he talks about something. He just mentions something.
And I thought, oh my gosh, I wish I had some money to invest. If I had your money, I would invest.
But I don't. I even said to my wife, man, if I had the people listening's money, I would
invest in this because I am not a I am not giving any investment advice you don't want it from me
but I will just say that when Rainmaker mentioned this company I'm like holy cow if I had any kind
of money I would invest in it a company named VARDA okay VARDA now we've talked about this
company before when they first started a couple of years ago but they are in
form right now.
And Varda is the startup company that's experimenting with manufacturing medicine in low Earth orbit.
All right.
Incredible.
Now they just announced.
Carmerline.
Yesterday that they're getting another $187 million, bringing in adding to the $329 million.
They're already good investors.
Peter Thiel is the guy that started this.
So Varda's space capsules function.
as the autonomous orbital
farmer production facilities
and also vehicles
that ferry pharma products
back to Earth,
which is offering a cheaper alternative
to experiments
on the International Space Station.
So they've founded this in
2021, I think,
and they've done three missions already,
each launched on SpaceX rockets,
and it's just incredible.
I mean, they're making chips
and pharmaceuticals,
In space.
It's the clean area to do it.
And they're talking about, you know, hey, the reason we do it in space is because, well,
some protein-based therapies rely on drugs with the hyper-specific crystal structure
that can be refined only in low-gravity environment.
Okay.
And they also have successfully created a version of the HIV drug Ritinevere in space, right?
It's Rittinaver.
Amorphophalus.
Yeah, that's...
Yeah, that's that.
They created that in space.
And so they're going to ramp up their mission.
Other companies are experimenting with producing enhanced drugs in space.
There's a startup called Lambavision, harnessing the low-gravity environment in orbit to produce artificial retina implants.
I'm just amazing.
And now it's becoming everybody's talking about it.
And I just want you to know that, well, it does little for me.
but it does
I was there
I was with him
I was with him in the beginning
I just wasn't there
I wasn't able to be there
with them financially
and man
that is something
that's going to be
incredible
in the very near future
and really it already is
it already is
it already is
I mean
Elon has launched
GROC 4
he's talking about
putting GROC 4
in his Optimus robots
See, I don't care if my Optimus Robot is able to communicate with me at GROC 4 level.
I want my GROC 4 robot to go ahead and do the dishes, sweep, do some laundry, I need some windows.
Then, you know, if it has time, it can listen to my wife.
It's fine.
I've got a show to watch.
But, you know, that's what I want.
I don't need GROC 4 enhancing the robot.
experience, but
fine, whatever. I mean, we're
already in amazing times.
Just amazing.
Companies are already using
AI to interview
people for jobs.
They're already discussing
how, you know, what
workers will get hurt
most by AI?
I mean, I don't know
to discuss that. I mean, and
other companies are
saying, well,
you know, maybe we'll
stop hiring people.
And, I mean, Microsoft,
Morgan Stanley, meta, they're already
laying off people and saying,
hey, we're going to let AI do that.
No problem.
I mean, and companies that have been in business
for a long time are
shutting down.
I mean, we had
a trucking company
collapse. We had an alcohol
distributor collapse, which is surprising
because in our times the alcohol distributor should survive,
but it doesn't.
And so, I mean, hundreds and thousands of people are losing their jobs,
and it's being replaced by AI.
Like I said, we live in incredible times.
Boating for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

And you can just, you know, wire it in there.
We're good to go.
Is that how that works?
Yeah, that's how it works.
Hey, I'm scrolling.
One of my favorite things
is just reading stupid stories really.
That's one of my favorite things in life,
watching and reading favorite stories.
This one, actually, this scam-ish plan,
I thought was genius.
All right.
So as I'm scrolling last night,
the post is, I haven't paid for Netflix in years.
Okay, you've got my attention already.
I want to know how.
How you may ask,
yes, I'm still here.
I'm not scrolling.
yes, I want to know.
I want to know how you haven't paid for Netflix in here.
Right before I divorced my wife, according to this post.
Okay?
The post is right before I divorced my ex.
Okay.
I created a Netflix profile called ad profile on her Netflix.
Now, he says she is so dumb.
I say that's genius.
That's genius level right there.
I like it.
Now, because it wouldn't work on a lot of people, especially,
I mean, because when it looks at that,
you go to, you know, the profiles who's on it.
And, you know, I always, I have a name that I use that's not mine,
so I know it's my profile.
And, you know, so, I mean, I'm not going to tell you what it is.
No, it's my secret, Bill.
Anyway, the, so,
But I thought that was a great idea.
So just a helpful hint for you.
If you want to get a, you go to someone's house,
if you've got a few minutes on the old remote,
a couple of clicks.
Add profile is a couple of clicks away.
This is really,
oh, you still have to know the password.
I know.
I got it.
Okay.
So do we think this is true?
were not, not the scam. I'm not talking about the
Netflix scam, but, you know, for
a while now I've had the story about the
British band Oasis, you know,
kicking off this reunion tour.
And it's after the
16-year hiatus,
the band is set to play 41
dates across the UK, Ireland,
and North America.
And I've had it in the fat pile for a while, so I know
that they're already touring, because I just
never get to it, and I really don't
honestly care about Oasis.
But then I see this
headline that says, Oasis
concert venues are
beefing up security
after videos giving
advice on how to sneak into
the reunion tour
went viral on TikTok.
That is awesome.
Now, I haven't seen the video.
They claim that the video
talks about how they, you know,
climbing trees, scaling fences,
swimming across a boating
Lake to get in.
And I sure we've got to climb over a fence here, but then you're in.
And so their fans have been warned that this when this homecoming gig in Heaton, which is
a Heaton Park.
I'm sorry, in Manchester, is going to be protected by a double fence with security
patrolling in between.
That's for aasis.
You climb over that fence for aasis and they would shoot you dead.
Yeah, we had to do it.
Sorry.
It's just someone trying to get into an oasis concert and that we can't put up with it.
So, yeah, I don't even think they're going to do that.
Maybe they do that if you're on that side of the fence.
Like if you start climbing up and they see you, but if you're already, you know, leg over that fence,
had to do it.
I had to do it.
Sorry.
Is Oasis worth that?
Ooh.
The answer to that would be.
Ouch.
Yeah, yeah, that's the answer.
Let me just maybe time to go to the break room.
I'll let you put a band-aid on that thing or something.
I need something cool to drink desperately.
So we're in the break room, and I go to get some,
what's it called again that I really like?
Oh, yeah, this macha powder to mix with my drink.
And there's none here.
And now I find out that there's a shortage of the macha.
So apparently there's increased demand for this matcha powder.
You know, it's green powder.
No, it's real.
It doesn't make you sick and all.
That's what the, apparently Starbucks and these other coffee houses are selling the crap out of it
because Japan has increased their crops that make this matcha.
And because Japan had, you know, very weak harvests of it,
prices are going up.
It's tough to find.
Can't get your bacha.
Banzai!
Banzai!
So more Japanese farmers have switched to the crop to keep up with the demand.
And matcha boasts more caffeine than other green teas and anise.
added anti-oxygen, which is why I wanted it in the break room.
That's why I wanted it.
So now they have to do something else.
They have to get something else other than matcha.
Because after the record-breaking heat waves of last summer, yeah.
And now people are demanding matcha.
They have to up their, we've up to our game now.
Up yours.
So farmers in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand,
are scrambling to plant new fields to increase tencha yields.
Oh, so they have to use tencha to get to the macha.
But freshly planting crops take five years to mature for harvest.
Yeah, we're dying before then.
Holy cow.
Yeah, we're dying before then.
And it was commented on by the people I love in Japan.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries.
I'm a huge fan of them.
I love them.
So they are really concerned about the T experts from Macha.
It takes five years for it to mature enough.
Yeah, there's going to be a shortage of Macha for a while.
You might as well get over it.
So I got this story sent to me from Mark,
and I want to tell Mark that you're raising your children right
because in the story Mark says that he saw this YouTube video
about New Epic Universe theme park.
And in the YouTube video, they mentioned they had C.
on some of their rides for plus size visitors.
And so when they mentioned it on the YouTube video,
his kids looked at each other and said,
Fat Guy Seating.
Ha!
Thank you for listening.
And thank your kids for being on it.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
So then I was reading about the story,
this epic universe,
and the possibility of fat guy seating.
Now, according to this,
they do have some plus size seating.
Okay, so these groups,
and I'm a little hurt that I wasn't asked to be a part of these groups, okay?
Because, but there's a plus size park hoppers
and there's the original universal plus size riders.
I mean, nobody's emailed me.
Nobody said, hey, why would you like to be part of our group?
No.
But okay, whatever.
Fine.
You do you, boo.
you know, whatever.
I'll be plus size over here on my own, okay?
So anyway,
they talk about how the plus size riders
have given a cautious thumbs up.
So, because that's, look,
the one ride, I'll never forget,
they make you do the walk of shame,
the fat guy walk of shame,
which they should be,
I should have sued Bush Gardens for that.
Because there's one ride that they have the fat guy
seat up front. And so that's where I went. And, you know, the, the bracket brace comes down
over your head and then locks in. And I mean, you got a, and I never did get it. But it never did
completely lock. I was like, one more. Let me suck it in just a little bit more. I slide up.
I can, I can re-sit down and I can sit thinner. And no, you can. And so after a minute,
You know, now you've held up the ride.
Now you've held up the ride.
People are pissed.
They're already in there.
They're already locked in.
They're like, okay, stop.
We got a fat guy here.
It won't fit.
Hold on.
And so then, now they've decided,
now they've got to make the call.
They got to make the call.
No, you're not going to, it's not going to lock in.
You can't go on the ride.
Get off.
And so they take you off.
And then here you come.
So now you got everybody behind you because it's the front seat.
It's one of the front seats.
Okay.
Now you got everybody on the ride.
full, packed, waiting to go, and you come off and make the fat guy walk.
Oh, that's the guy.
That's the guy that's too fat to sit on the ride holding this up.
I mean, I didn't like it.
I didn't like it.
And so, and what they're, and what they called their fat guy's seat, I mean, it's kind
of like, you know, a designer, fat guy's shirt.
You know, a designer, fat guy's shirt really isn't a fat guy shirt.
It's like maybe an extra large.
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe you get an Excel one for a designer shirt. Maybe. But you're not getting a fat guy, two, three, X or four. You're not doing that. So I'm just saying, have fun at the rides. And I hope you all fit. And I hope you can all squeeze in and have fun on the rides. But believe me, I understand the frustration. You know, I'm trying to think what would be worse, what was worse, because I did.
end up getting the seatbelt extender.
You know, I stole one.
I'm sorry, I borrowed one.
If they can have it back, if they asked me,
I'll give it back to them.
I forget what airline it was.
But I think it was Delta.
Anyway, the,
might have been United,
but Pan Am, that's who it was,
it was Pan Am, yeah.
And so, because I got tired of asking for the seatbelt
extender.
So what I would do, instead of waiting
until you get to the seat.
And then they come on,
I have me a seat dance.
And you got to say, I need a seatbelt.
And you got to say, I need a,
an in extender.
And okay, I'll be right back.
And then they never come right back.
And then they toss it to you at the end,
and it's frustrating.
So then I would ask when you board,
because they're all there greeting you when you're bored,
checking you out, making sure you're not a terrorist,
looking at your shoes, looking at your socks,
making sure your carry-on is safe.
And so you say, hello.
Now you stop on the way.
You're making that turn.
Making the turn down the aisle.
Hey, I need a seatbelt extender.
Okay, I think we have a few of that.
I can find those for you.
Good.
You already set it up.
Down the aisle, you go.
And if they don't reach across right then into the,
because a lot of times they're right there,
and there's a closet right across from where they're standing,
just as you make that turn, that's where they keep them.
And so if they just don't reach across right then,
hold up the line a little bit, grab the extended, give it to you,
you're good, right?
I've had that happen.
Or they wait.
So I decided I'm sick, and then you have to ask, you know,
like, I need the seatbelt extender.
You know, now you're the fat guy asking for the seatbelt extender.
and yeah, yeah, as I said, they come by.
And even if the seatbelt is, you know, underneath my roll,
it's got to be hooked for some reason.
The plane won't take off without that.
So, you know, they, hold on, I've got a seat down.
They've got a guy here.
Hold on.
We got a guy that's too fat.
And so I just took it.
I finally got one and I never gave it back when I just never gave it back.
So they went now in my carry-on bag,
I have my seatbelt extenders.
So I don't have to ask.
I just use it.
Okay.
I don't want to ask for it.
Oh, no, it's mine.
It's my own little,
my own little seatbelt extender.
So it's kind of,
I think,
I think the roller,
I think the roller coasters
are a little bit more embarrassing.
Because they have made it a little bit better
because a lot of times
if they're the newer ones,
they put the seats out front.
Because they know.
They know.
Okay, okay, fat guy.
here's the seats that are on the ride.
There's no need for you to come down the aisle.
There's no need for you to walk up there
and hold up the line.
Take a look. See if you can fit in that bad boy.
And most people that are part of the plus size club
are going to look at those seats and go,
isn't that riding on that one?
So, you know, it's...
It is, but the ones that make you do the walk of shame.
I mean, that should be illegal.
That really should.
That should be illegal.
Hold on!
We got a fake.

Who died today? Who died today? This is sad news for the three cuts to clownface crowd in California. Very sad. Dr. Ronald M.O.Y, based out of Beverly Hills, California, has died. He's a plastic surgeon. I mean, this guy was the guy in Beverly Hills, dead at the age of 68, rest in peace. He died following complications.
from neck surgery.
I don't recommend that, really.
But Moy worked with the
Moy Fincher and Chips
facial plastics and dermatology group.
Love them.
Morphalas.
Yeah, no, it's not Doropalphalas at all.
It's the Moy Finscher
and Chips, Facial Plastics
and Dermatology Group
in Beverly Hills.
Those guys, I remember seeing that sign.
It's right there around the corner.
It's right there.
The Los Angeles medical examiners are treating the cases open.
Yeah, yeah, because of neck surgery.
We got that.
So he was president of several dermatology and plastic surgery organizations,
including the American Academy of Dermatology.
The American Society of Dermatology surgeons.
Amorphophagus.
Yeah, those surgeons.
And the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery.
This guy's the guy.
This guy's the guy.
And so the clock because we cut the clown face crowd is,
they're hurting today in California and probably around the country,
maybe even worldwide because people would fly in to see these people from around the world.
He's the guy.
Now he also was the, he specialized in micrographic surgery.
And he used that to treat patients with skin cancer.
See, that was his buddies at.
the
Moy Fentcher
Chips, facial plastics
and dermatology group. Finscher
and Chips, they were the cloud face cutters.
Moy was a guy trying
to pretend like, I'm doing work for the people.
I'm helping skin cancer.
So
he uses the micrographic
surgery to treat his patient with
skin. During the procedure, the surgery
moves thin layers of skin,
one layer at a time. Yeah, we got it.
And it continues until
only cancer-free tissue remains.
Moy was one of the most experienced surgeons alive
when it came to this particular method
and procedure performing it more than 30,000 times
in his career.
Incredible.
His daughter, Lauren, was also part of the practice.
Yeah, she said,
look at where we live.
This is because my dad makes clown faces.
And I could do that too.
So, yes, I want to go.
go to school and become
cellular
MD. Oh, that's
what dad did. He takes care of the
lesions of the skin cancer.
Got it. That's the other two dangleberries
that are taking care of the clown faces.
I got it. The moys are too
good for the clown faces.
Except what brings in the money,
Moy? Oh yeah. The clown faces.
And rest in peace.
To Dr. Ronald Moy, dead
at the age of 68.
Also, you know what else died?
The real life Wakanda.
I know.
Wakanda, the one singer, Akron, right?
Or Akon or A-K-K-N or whatever a stupid name is.
It's not Akron.
I want to say Akron.
Akron, Ohio, Jeff.
No, it's Ak-O-N, right?
A-K-O-N.
Yeah, that's his name.
No singer, R&B singer, A-Con.
He was supposed to have this big project in Senegal to make this new,
Project Wakanda, the new modern day Wakanda.
And now Senegal says, yeah, no, we've scrapped that.
We're not doing that.
And we're going to do something else.
But your multi-billion dollar city development,
and we're going to scale that back a little bit.
We're going to bring that back down a little bit.
Oh, okay, because what about all the land that we set aside?
Well, the state controls that.
So we're just going to take that.
That's going to be ours.
you're not going to get that.
So, okay.
So those of you that were excited about Acon's modern-day Wakanda,
it's dead.
Not going to happen.
Well, it's not going to happen in Senegal.
You realize that it's been a year since I was going to take out a Neanderthal story I want to talk about.
But then I just looked up to the television, I just realized it's been a year since Donald Trump was attempted,
the attempted assassination of Donald Trump
was a year this weekend.
Amazing a year.
Tell me it does not feel like a year.
It feels like 10 years.
It feels like he was shot in the ear 10 years ago.
And it was only a year ago.
And what have we learned?
What have we learned?
And what have we educated ourselves
with about the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania?
We have we learned.
we just found out that some of the secret service members were, you know, put on leave.
They weren't fired.
We've learned about the, what's the word I'm looking for?
Failure to do your job.
That's the word I'm looking for.
Failure to do your job was important for the secret service members.
I just incredible.
And I just, anyway, I can't believe that it's been a year.
That's all.
All that, I just can't believe that's been a year.
So I'm reading this another story about Neanderthals.
For some reason, I'm fascinated by Neanderthals.
Maybe that's just me.
So they claim now that Neanderthals, about 125,000 years ago,
had what they call a fat factory.
And that was a place where Neanderthals broke and crushed the bones of large mammals
to extract valuable bone marrow and grease
used as a valuable
extra food source.
This is Neanderthals.
That's not what we were thinking
that Neanderthals did.
So according to scientists,
the earliest evidence
of this type of
large-scale bone processing
including both bone marrow
and grease.
First confirmation
of Neanderthals
were also doing this
some 100,000 years ago
before our species in Europe.
and this was intensive, organized, and strategic,
says archaeologist Lutz Kindler, who,
I mean, he's from the Monor Repos Archaeological Research Center in Germany,
so you've got to believe Lutz.
The Anderthals were clearly managing resources with precision,
planning hunts, transporting carcasses,
rendering fat in a task-specific area.
They understood both the nutritional value of fat
and how to access it efficiently.
Most likely involved,
involving cashang carcass part.
I think that's cashang, right?
C-A-C-H-I-N-G.
Avocados from Mexico.
No, they weren't getting avocados from Mexico.
They weren't shipped in.
No, they were not doing that then.
That's one thing that I will say this.
I will fight.
I'll fight anyone that says the Neanderthals are bringing in avocados
because they were not.
For later transport to use and to use its grease rendering site.
And I got it, okay?
Caching is saving.
It's data storage.
It's storage, fat storage, bone storage,
okay?
I just didn't cashing.
I know why they just didn't say saving.
Because they wanted to be smart
and sound smart in the story.
Okay.
All right, so researchers found their evidence
on a site called
Newmark Nord.
Love that site.
In Eastern Germany.
They uncovered more than 100,000 bone fragments
from what are thought to be at least 172 large mammals,
including horses and dears.
A good proportion of the bones showed cut marks
and signs of intentional breakage,
pointing to deliberate butchering.
And these weren't just leftovers from the hunt.
There was indications of tool use and fires
in the same location, all in a relatively small area.
That's incredible.
I mean, the Neanderthals were doing that?
No wonder the humans, once in a while,
would sneak over to where the Neanderthals were
and take care of a little business.
I used to think that it was the Neanderthal.
Right.
I used to think it was the Neanderthal
sneaking over to the human side.
I don't think so.
I think it was the humans coming on
to one of these fat plants
and saying, oh yeah, hey.
Hey, Neanderthal.
Come on over here.
I'll do whatever you need,
but I got to have some bone marrow, baby.
Oh, yeah.
I know.
Right?
I know.
You know, and speaking in the Andethals,
I see where the dire wolf company,
you know,
they're bringing back the extinct animals,
they are now put their focus on the
colossal biosciences.
I got it.
They're not just the dire wolf company.
Yeah, I know.
They want to resurrect New Zealand's Moabird
from extinction.
Why?
Oh, because we can.
Okay.
And now they've got Mr. Big Shot Peter Jackson, Lord of the Rings guys.
I guess he owns one of the largest private collection of bones from New Zealand and of these birds, the mowbirds.
And so it's the, they're like ostriches, really is what they are.
And I guess he's going to partner with the colossal biosciences and they're going to, you know, genetically engineer
this giant moa.
I mean, they stood like 12 feet tall
and it's going to be millions of dollars to bring
this thing back?
I'd say no.
What do they do with them?
I don't know.
I mean, they were used for food,
for animals.
That's what food is.
They were used for foods.
These animals would eat them.
They say that they went extinct,
you know, from overhunting.
Uh-huh.
large skeleton brought to England and the 19th century is on display.
Okay.
But I feel like the animals that would eat them are also dead now.
So now we're going to bring back animals that were getting eaten by other animals that are dead.
Who's going to eat them?
Who's going to kill them?
Do we, or I guess the mammoth.
I guess the mammoth that they're making, the colloquium.
The colossal biosciences will make the mammoth,
because that's one of the animals they're going to make.
They've got the dire wolf.
They've got the mammoth.
They've got the Tasmanian devil.
We'll get all that back,
and then we'll feed them the giant Moa from New Zealand.
There you go.
Problem solved.
And just so you know, I'm going to help you out right here.
Just between you and me, all right?
That's one of the headlines, and what's the lie?
We've got what's the lie coming up?
I'm going to let you in a little secret.
All right?
The one about the colossal.
fossil wild silences and the Moa is not the lie.
I know, you're welcome.
You're welcome.
I know.
All right, I said I would do the stupid joke of the day today because it was, he sent it to me.
I've been laughing about it for a couple of days.
It's been really funny, actually.
It made me laugh.
And so Pat, Pat with the area code number after his name, email, sent it to chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
and this is you know
I'll give you the joke of the day
and then we'll get into what's the live
okay
hey hear about the guy who left his buddy
to watch the house while he went on vacation
after a few days the guy vacationing
calls his buddy to check on things
and he asks how's my cat
and his buddy responds
oh your cat's dead
and the vacationer responds
dude lighten the load a bit
you could have said that the cat was on the roof
and was chasing a bird
and he fell off and died.
And then he says, okay, I mean, just lighten it a little bit.
By the way, how's my mom?
His buddy says, well, your mom's on the roof right now.
See?
Yeah, you got it.
