Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Earlier this week, we had a story that talked about how Kraft Heinz Grocery and Sources business may not go together, you know, like ketchup and fries. Get it? The Wall Street Journal reports that the company is planning to spin off the grocery side,
Starting point is 00:00:56 including most craft products, into a business that they, claim is worth about $20 billion, leaving sauces and spreads like Heinz ketchup and gray pupon mustard as a separate company, though they claim their weighing other option as well. Now, they just had their big
Starting point is 00:01:13 mega merger, which brought craft Heinz together with, that was part of the deal from Warren Buffett. That was a long time ago, with the PE and 3G capital partners, and they were, the deal was meant to dominate the package
Starting point is 00:01:29 good industry, which it really did. However, now we get the news that Kraft Heinz said that they were going to remove artificial dyes from U.S. products. So if that is going to mess up the ketchup and the gray poupon mustard business because the food dyes aren't going to be in those products, I don't know that maybe that's why they want it to be a separate company because they know it's going to go downhill and they don't want it to bring the others downhill, because I'll tell you this right now. As a Heinz ketchup police officer, and I have a badge, I would not be a fan of losing the color of Heinz ketchup. I don't want
Starting point is 00:02:16 another color. We've all seen the practice ones, the funny ones. Ha ha, ha. We're going to change the color of ketchup, but it tastes the same. I know, but it is not the same, is it? No, Jeff, it tastes the same. I know, but it's not the same. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, this story kind of irks me and I'm not really sure what to make of it. So in San Bernardino County, California, sheriff's deputies have arrested an alleged prankster. And that prankster is accused of planting a creepy teddy bear that looked like it was made of bloody human tissue. Okay. So this 23-year-old Hector Corona Villanueva was booked on suspicion of causing a needless emergency response and planting phony evidence. Okay, calm down, San Bernardino
Starting point is 00:03:21 Sheriff's Department. So apparently there's this, it's a Bear Valley Road, a gas station on Bear Valley Road right there in the Mojave Desert of Victorville. You know where it's at. It's right here on the map. And it's about 85 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles and about 150 miles southwest of Nevada State Line. You know where it's at. So this doll was possibly made of human skin, but it wasn't. The deputy coroner investigator said, yeah, it's not fabricated material. It's not made of human origin. Oh, okay. And so then they brought in. a forensic pathologist. So I guess the deputy coroner's investigation wasn't enough.
Starting point is 00:04:06 They have to bring in the forensic pathologist. And he confirmed that the object was not human and contained no human tissue. They found that the dolls were being sold on a website that claims that the dolls are made of human skin. It's a like product. This guy's made dolls for all kinds of people. and it's called Dark Seed Creations. And he made it. He made, and he said, yeah, I made that too.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So I'm wondering how this is, why he gets arrested for this. So I don't know why he left the doll. It's kind of really ugly and weird looking, but it would be kind of cool to have one. Absolutely, if someone gave it to me, I'm keeping it. Why he gets arrested for that? left it on the shelf, I guess that was the prank to leave this weird
Starting point is 00:05:00 looking human skin looking doll on the shelf at this gas station so that people would freak out over it. And they did. And so then he gets arrested for that. Okay. Sure. You got it.
Starting point is 00:05:17 The guy that makes him said that he's made dozens of these teddy bears over 20 years and he said that I made the order, put in a box, sent it out. According to tracking, it was delivered to Victorville. And Kelly told NBC News, the guy that makes the dolls,
Starting point is 00:05:35 I started getting all kinds of messages, and he realized, oh yeah, that's one of my dolls, and people are freaking out over about it. And so, I mean, there's plenty of people that are, you know, buying this product from him, and he has an Etsy account where you can purchase these creations, we'll call them. But you get arrested for leaving this creepy, teddy bear on a shelf at a gas station? Okay, we're starting to push it just a little bit too much for me.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I know, I know people freaked out over it, which is what he wanted, but to then be arrested for needless emergency response and planting phony evidence, planting phony evidence, he just put the teddy bear on the shelf. Anyway, good luck to Hector Corona Villanueva, 23 out there in Victorville, California. Good luck. The Mojave Desert is a bad place to be. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:06:35 You're going to have to do some hard time. What'd you do? Yeah, I left a bear that looked like it had human skin, and it was really creepy looking. I left it on the shelf at a gas station. Wow. Are you a criminal? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yes, he is. Another crime that happened in Atlanta, Georgia, the materials that were stolen were five thumb drives they were they also had concert plans and concert set lists for Beyonce and and it had some unreleased music as well that it was stolen from one of her choreographers
Starting point is 00:07:18 and dancers their automobile who was in the trunk of their car and it was stolen from their car Oh, okay. So she was getting ready. She had been doing a four-day residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And then she was getting ready to take the stage. And they found out that the car had been broken into.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And so they stole two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, luxury clothing, accessories. They were all reported stolen on top of the thumb drives, along with music and footage. show plans, concert set-less. Boy, I wish you hadn't taken that stuff from that car now, aren't you? Because they apparently have issued an arrest warrant for the suspect whose identity was withheld. It doesn't look like they've arrested anyone yet.
Starting point is 00:08:12 So I guess all that personal information on those laptops and the clothing and the accessories. I mean, it's not the choreographer and the dancers probably. I mean, it was in an automobile, probably parked in a secure area around the stadium or what they thought was a secure area. Somebody is in big trouble. On top of allowing a criminal to take their stuff from wherever their car was parked at, if it was in a so-called secure area, somebody there is going to pay the price. And if you're the person who stole Beyonce's stuff,
Starting point is 00:08:51 when they throw away the book for you will you be in the same jail as my guy from the Mojave Desert putting out fake human skin bears on shelves of gas stations? I think so. I think you'll all be housed together. And I really do want to know what the scam is.
Starting point is 00:09:14 The story, I'm told, is a surrogacy scam. But I don't know what the scam is. So this couple is arrest. with a child abuse investigation that led authorities to their home in a Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia. There were 21 young children, some of whom were birthed by surrogate mothers.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Okay. So the police said they are investigating whether the children found at the home were part of a surrogacy scam. The home residence, Silva Zang and Guarjan Zom, were released. from custody pending further investigation. Yeah, I'm not sure what the scam is. I guess you take the
Starting point is 00:09:59 kid and then you sell the kid, but that's not a scam. One mother felt she was duped. They found one mother of one of the children in the state of Texas by this bioethics watchdog group, and I love them. And that woman said that she was misled into thinking her child was the only child who would be taken in the Arcadia residence. Okay. That's not a scam. I guess, I guess, okay, so you're misled, but what's the scam? I'm really confused.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Now, they're in trouble because they actually did beat this little kid. And that's a problem. That's a problem. This child abuse investigation looks like that's actually real. I don't know if they abused any of the other children. that obviously investigation is still ongoing but they had
Starting point is 00:10:55 two months old up to I think like 12 year olds and so I'm not really sure what the scam is I don't know what the scam is so if I pay someone to have a baby and then they have the baby
Starting point is 00:11:12 and I take it and I raise it and I sell it it's not a scam. It said that their home was set up like a school. Camera seized from the property showed the children being emotionally and physically abused by at least six nannies. Okay. According to law enforcement authorities said the video showed a nanny violently shaking and striking the hospitalized infant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Now that's a problem. That's a problem. But, and they didn't even take the baby to get checked out until a couple of days later after he'd already been. and, you know, slammed around, which is not good. I do not recommend that for anyone, let alone a little baby. So the baby's in the hospital now, and they don't know what the outcome is going to be,
Starting point is 00:11:59 doesn't really look good for the baby. But I really do, I know they're saying, this case highlights inherent dangers of commercial surrogacy. Okay. Sure. If you think that, you know, every commercial surrogacy house is, you know, taking care of child endangerment and child neglect and we're beating up the kids.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Yeah, that's an issue. But to just pay someone to have a baby and then they give you the baby and you sell the baby. And then while you're trying to sell the baby, you keep it at your house and raise it. I feel like that's, I don't know that. I don't know that that's a scam. I don't know that that's a scam. but you know whatever i i just have i just don't want to concern because they keep calling it a scam and i don't know what the scam is and if you do you can email me chewing the fat at the blaze dot com but i don't see the
Starting point is 00:12:57 scam i am not i i'm against you know take them all away if they're abusing these kids absolutely but if it's just that they were paying females to have babies and then taking those babies and raising them until they can sell them. Okay, all right. I mean, I know that's not the way it's supposed to be done. I got it. But, you know, and like the one professional, you know, hey, this highlights the inherent dangers of commercial surrogacy.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Okay. You know, that's where I'm at with a lot of things today. Okay, sure. Whatever you say. 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.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls.
Starting point is 00:14:35 We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. I mentioned my email Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, which you can do. You can email me your questions, your comments, your concerns. You can say, hey, here's a possibility for a joke of the day. You can say, hey, here's my name. I want to play What's the Lie? The game show we play on Fridays here.

But it is worth every doggone nickel at Jeffey JFR on the Cameo app. Now, when the time comes for you to move, whether it's in the same town or anywhere else in the country,
Starting point is 00:15:31 you're going to want a real real estate agent. real estate agent. Not one of those phony ones. Not one of those fly-by-night ones. Not one of those fake ones. No, you want someone who's really good at what they do. And we found out a long time ago that you needed a real estate agent who is experienced, vetted, and fully committed to helping you buy or sell with confidence. This was a company started by Glenn years ago. He used to have to move a lot. And he got tired of dealing with all the mediocre agents right and left. couldn't sell one house for the longest time. He ended up selling it for a lot less money than what it was worth.
Starting point is 00:16:11 See, the idea is you're supposed to buy low, sell high. That never worked out well for Glenn before real estate agents I trust, and never worked out well for myself either. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com is a free service. It connects you with the top performance. agents who actually care about your outcome. It's a complete difference on selling your home with someone
Starting point is 00:16:40 that knows what they're doing and someone who doesn't. Credible. Real estateagents.itrust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. The name pretty much says it all. Yes, it does. Real estate agents I trust.com. So Barack Obama was on the Michelle Obama, Craig Robinson, podcast, the I.M.O. Podcast. Oh, and what a great podcast it is. And so they, Barack showed up. And we've
Starting point is 00:17:13 asked several times why I wonder why Barack hasn't shown up to help her out. I mean, they're supposed to be struggling and they're supposed to be pretending that they're struggling. So, you know, why wasn't, why didn't he show up on the podcast to help him out? Well, he finally did. So I always said that they will never get a divorce, but they're not living. together and they don't. I mean, they're days of husband and wife long gone. Uh, and so, I mean, she's doing this podcast with her brother, Craig. Ugh. And so amazing. So anyway, Barack shows up and he looks like he's got white pants or he's got tan pants on with tennies and no socks and an untucked dress shirt. He looks, well, a lot of the comments underneath the video that I posted on
Starting point is 00:18:00 my ex account, uh, remarked that, uh, remarked that, uh, he's, uh, he looks. Uh, he looks. Uh, he looks. Uh, uh, he looked awful gay. I didn't say it. But other people are. And so this is supposed to quell the rumors of them being divorced. Oh, they're not together. And the way it started was Michelle, oh, look at you. It sounded like someone I hadn't seen each other in quite a while, which is true.
Starting point is 00:18:25 And then Craig told a story about running into someone in Wichita, Kansas. Now, first, let's go with the premise that his story is true, okay? Craig's story of meeting a person in Wichita, Kansas is true, because we can go the other way and say there's no way this story is true. It's made up, but I just, well, here you go. This is the beginning of the IMO podcast with Barack stopping by to chat with Michelle and Craig. Oh, don't start. Touching go for a while.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Touching go for a while. Both in the same room together. I know. Because when we aren't, folks think we're divorced. Let me tell you, first of all, see, I got. Okay, get to it, Craig. I'm in Wichita Kansas. Okay, we got it.
Starting point is 00:19:23 For Austin's tournament. Uh-huh. And you know. I don't know who Austin is. Boyfriend. This podcast has made me quite popular. Probably his son. You're a big shot.
Starting point is 00:19:31 You're a big shot. You're a big shot. You're a big shot. You're a big shot. She was so nice. She's like, can I have a picture? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then so you know how you get the side hug?
Starting point is 00:19:40 And she's like, what did he do? Okay. So, now, Keith Malinac actually made a great point on this particular part of the video. All right. So Craig, her brother, looks a lot like Michelle. They look like each other. They're a brother and sister. And so it's possible that the lady in Wichita, Kansas, thought it was.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Michelle Obama and not Craig. If you believe this story, okay, now that's possible, which is why she would say, what did he do instead of, instead of something else. Like are you, she might have said, are you two okay? But if it was, if it was a brother, what do you, are they okay? Are they okay? Not what, what did he do? Anyway, it's just, it's funny to me to think that that person in Wichita, Kansas, you know, would think that it's Michelle and it's actually Craig.
Starting point is 00:20:42 But Craig goes on. And what did he do? It wasn't like, what happened to him? That is so terrible. How'd he mess up? She's pissed. And I said, what would make you think he messed up? Why couldn't it be?
Starting point is 00:20:58 Why didn't you just say no one messed up? Yeah. I wanted to keep this conversation going so that I can tell you about it. Maybe because it's not real. Maybe he didn't say nothing is wrong because it's not real. Michelle wants him to just walk away. You say everything is fine and shut up, okay? And they talk about, I just, I don't know that I can make it through the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:21:26 But okay, we'll continue on. I was like, what is? And she's like, he did something, didn't he? I was like, don't worry, everything's fine. Let me tell you, she was so happy You would have thought I gave her a Christmas gift Uh-huh These are the kinds of things that I just miss.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Do you? Do you, Barack? Stuff's going on. Right. And then somebody will mention it to me And I'm all like, what are you talking about? There hasn't been one moment in our marriage Where I thought about quitting.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Oh, that's not true? Uh, she talked about how, well, she did, she didn't think about quitting. She hated him. She talked about her in her book how much she hated him. I'm sorry, not quitting. And we've had some really hard time, so we have had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man we've been married to.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Okay, don't make me cry now. I'm going to cry now, at the beginning of the beginning of this. And welcome to IMO. Welcome. Catch you all teared up. See, but this is why I can't tell. That's why I can't talk to you. She's pissed right here.
Starting point is 00:22:39 When I start talking about the sweet stuff, you're like, stop. No, I can't do it. I love it. I'm enjoying it. But thank you, honey. For being on. Thank you, honey for being here. We got, you guys are doing good.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Of course I've been listening. Any tips? Any tips? You know, any. You know, Craig can tighten up a little bit. That's a good lie. But he hasn't listened to a word of these podcasts. I guarantee you that.
Starting point is 00:23:09 That's why we've been married for. Yeah, she doesn't even remember how long they've been married. That's why we've been married for. He was supposed to finish it. No way Barack is finishing that. Anyway. That is almost believable. For the masses, I guess it will suffice.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And Barack and Michelle are still together. but really they're not. I mean, they're still husband and wife, but there is not a chance that they are a couple. And that's cool. I'm fine. You know, they can be them with Barack and Michelle.
Starting point is 00:23:48 You do you. Barack and Michelle, plus Barack is looking more and more feminine. We'll leave it at that. And many people would say that Michelle is looking more and more male. So I've got that going for them.
Starting point is 00:24:05 All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. It was reported that Billy McFarland sold the, well, I want to call it Fry Festival because it angers people so much. The F-Y-R-E Festival. He sold the Firebrand, including trademarks and social accounts, for $245,300 in his eBay auction. Okay, I apologize.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I did not know that the Frye Festival was up for sale. But the brand became infamous, yeah, with the festival that collapsed into chaos. And then he ended up in prison for fraud. And so now he's back at it. He said there was going to be another event, which I guess is postponed now. but he live streamed the sale and called the final bid solo while teasing a new tech venture
Starting point is 00:25:11 focused on monetizing attention. So he's got a new tech venture focused on monetizing attention. All right. So there was no mention of who purchased the Fire Festival brand for $245,300.
Starting point is 00:25:33 And hopefully it's real. And it's not some fraudulent eBay purchaser. Maybe they were all okayed from the very beginning. I don't know. But just look forward to more fry events. I know it's fire. Shut up. But are you, I mean, even if it belongs to somebody else,
Starting point is 00:25:56 it seems like a brand that has been, it's not in a good place. So good luck. We also got some Walking Dead news yesterday. They said that season three has been re-upped and ready to go, given the green light for Dead City with Negan and Maggie. Now, they also are changing showrunners, so they're using Seth Hoffman as one of the veteran showrunners. He's done some other Walking Dead stuff, so he's not unfamiliar with the Dead Universe. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:26:36 We'll see. I thought Dead City Season 2 was going to be the end. But no. No, we're coming back for season 3. Apparently, it's been greenlit. And also, they promoted, again, with a new teaser for Daryl Dixon, his season 3, which begins September 7th. So we'll definitely have Talking Walking Dead beginning September 8th or in that neck of the woods because Darryl. Season 3 will be up and running.
Starting point is 00:27:08 So myself, Jason Betrilla, Maximus Fisher, will most definitely bring you another season, another season of Talking, Walking Dead. You know, speaking of doing shows with other people, don't forget Saturdays. I do a show with Brad Staggs, Saturday morning live, 9 a.m. Central on my ex at Jeffrey JFR.
Starting point is 00:27:30 You may know Brad from his network. He does a show every month. morning. Mojo 5.0 in the morning it's daily Mojo 5-0 every day
Starting point is 00:27:48 mojo 5-0 Monday through Friday say you know what it is. It's Mojo 5-0 the morning mojo you can catch it, you can find it. He does the show with me as well. he's so pissed right now
Starting point is 00:28:06 so just to make him feel better okay i know it's the daily mojo okay i got it it's the daily mojo with ron phillips and rags tags seven to nine central i got it okay but if they're the saturday morning show
Starting point is 00:28:27 at nine a m central you don't even worry about his ex account or the daily mojo or whatever the heck other platforms he puts it on. Be most concerned with my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. We had the SPs last night and man, what fun were they, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:43 No, I didn't really watch them either. But I did go back and watch some of the clips of Shane Gillis as he was the host of the SPs. And some of them very, very funny. He did this Soudre Sander's
Starting point is 00:28:56 joke, Caitlin Clark jokes. He had a couple of really good Caitlin Clark jokes. The one was Caitlin Clark and I have a lot in common. We're both from Indiana. We're both white. We're both from Indiana.
Starting point is 00:29:10 And we've sunk a lot of threes, or we've nailed a lot of threes. It's funny. I don't care who we are. And then he talked about how Caitlin's going to retire and work at Waffle House because, you know, she loves beginning into fistfights with black people. Hilarious. And his, his, when he pointed out his friend, in the audience who, well, he started out saying that it was
Starting point is 00:29:38 Britney Hicks from the WNBA. I'll give it up for her. And everybody clapped and the camera went to her. They said, I'm just joking. That's my friend's wife. That is hilarious. I knew you know, would know who the WNBA players were. And I don't really know to this day.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Today, I don't know if it was. if it was Britney Hicks or if it was his friend, I don't know, I don't want to know. I want to believe that it's his friend and he just duped us because it was really funny. There were some people, of course, that got their panties in a wad over Shang-Gill. I saw, oh, he would have to, he said some stuff against Caitlin, and he said some stuff against the president, and he just wasn't funny. Yes, he was. I thought it was a really good job.
Starting point is 00:30:29 What I saw, very funny, very funny. Isn't that what you want? Apparently not. Apparently not. And I see where Barstool Sports, who I've got to talk about, they just are ready to sign a new deal with Barstool Sports. Shane Gillis, they posted,
Starting point is 00:30:46 Gillis hosting the ESP's is the smartest thing ESPN has done in forever. His opening modelogue was Lights Out with Caitlin Clark and Jeffrey Epstein jokes. Yeah, I mean, I thought he was very funny. And he didn't, you know, nothing was sacred. so let's go ahead and move on. Now, I got me thinking, I see where Dave Portnoy is Barstool Sports,
Starting point is 00:31:10 which led me into Dave Portnoy, that's how I got here, because he founded Barstool Sports. Dave Portnoy apparently is going to join Big Noon kickoff for college football pregame shows. And I guess Barstool is going to have a partnership with Fox to enhance its sports broadcasting appeal. well this is their answer to ESPN having Pat McAfee
Starting point is 00:31:33 good luck because Dave Portnoe why I appreciate his comments and you know I appreciate Barstool Sports and what they do but Portnoy is not a Pat McAfee. I'm sorry he's not so okay I guess maybe you're attracting a younger demographic sure okay and I know Fox Sports is trying to you know overhaul and change the way things are going and good luck and congratulations Congratulations to Portnoy and Barstool Sports on all their success. But he is not going to win over the crowd that went to ESPN because of Pat McAfee.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Just my opinion. Just my opinion. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio.
Starting point is 00:32:37 How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bel Air Direct and you. Use the money to fix your car. Bell Air Direct. Insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. Who died today?
Starting point is 00:32:48 Who died today? I would have lost a bet because if you were to have asked me this morning, prior to reading this story, Connie Francis, dead or alive, I would have said, oh, Connie's probably long gone. Nope, she was still alive, but now she's officially dead. Connie Francis, legendary singer. known for a pretty little baby died at the age of 87. Ah, very sad.
Starting point is 00:33:19 It says here she was a legendary country rock and a pop singer, Connie Francis. They're saying that it was sad they wanted before she died for her to be inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame. Connie Francis in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Okay. All right, sure. You got it. she said that I guess
Starting point is 00:33:43 she was supposed to do some event on the 4th of July and knew can't do that she's got treatment she had hip surgery and there was a problem she was in all kinds of pain
Starting point is 00:33:55 so she didn't do it and that's then she ended up dying born Consetta Rosa Marie Franconero very sick Connie Francis I mean she was a huge star man on fire for years. There's no doubt about that.
Starting point is 00:34:12 One of the most successful singers in the 50s and 60s. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. So rest in peace to Connie Francis legend dead at the age of 87. Then we have a teenager in California. Anytime a teenager dies, it's very sad. But this 19-year-old teenager, okay, 19-year-old died in this tragic accident after a meat grinder unexpectedly activated
Starting point is 00:34:41 at a food processing facility. No! Oh my gosh. So the worker's name has not been released. Yeah. He was a member of a sanitation team at Tina's Burritos on Vernon Avenue. Love Tina's burritos there on Vernon Avenue
Starting point is 00:34:59 in Vernon, California. And so the man was cleaning the industrial food processor when the machine activated unexpectedly. Said the other workers heard him scream and tried to stop the machine. And then by the time the police got there and everything was done, he was already dead. Oh my gosh. That is so sad. The workers were spotted outside the food processing facility in a break area in an emotional state.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Yeah. So this place will be investigated for sure. Vernon is about five miles south of downtown. LA, you know where it's at. It's right there. And I'm sure that you've, you know, you've actually stopped in and picked up a taco or a burrito from Tina's burritos.
Starting point is 00:35:47 So, I mean, that's a fine place. Anyway, rest and peace to the 19-year-old meat grinder cleaner food processor that activated unexpectedly and ground him out. So very sad. Very, very sad. Then we have Andrea Gibson, a celebrated poet and performance artist,
Starting point is 00:36:10 who through their verse explored, and I have to read this twice because of pronoun issues, who through their verse explored gender identity, politics, and their four-year battle with terminal ovarian cancer. She has finally passed away, and not finally, but, you know, she's been battling in for four years. at the age of 49, rest and peace to Andrea Gibson. Now, she was pronounced, her social media, pronounced her death, from her wife, Megan,
Starting point is 00:36:46 and they were the main subjects of the documentary. You may have seen it or you will see it in the future. Come see me in the good light. I like that, actually, I like that title. Winner of the Festival Favorite Award this year at the Sundance Film Festival, scheduled to air this fall on Apple TV Plus. Yeah, so if you weren't at the Sundance Film Festival, you haven't seen Come See Me in the Good Light yet.
Starting point is 00:37:13 But you will coming this fall on Apple TV. I'm sure it will be dedicated to her or to them or they or he, Andrea Gibson. One of the things I did enjoy about the story, though, is they talked about Andrea died in their home, in her home, his home, in Boulder, Colorado, surrounded by their wife, Meg, four ex-girlfriends,
Starting point is 00:37:39 mother, father, dozens of friends, three beloved dogs. So, it was like the L-word show? I guess so. They were all there, the ex-girlfriends, and the wife, and they were all there supporting them, or they, or there,
Starting point is 00:37:57 and their battle of life. And rest of peace, to Andrea Gibson. they're dead at the age of 49. Okay, enough of this dead talk. Let's say happy birthday to Camilla Parker Bowles. Yes, the wife of King Charles. I guess she's queen consort or they keep calling her Queen Elizabeth.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I'm not doing that. Or Queen Camilla. Yeah, I'm not doing that. So, you know, they had this longstanding relationship. I love the story how the story has evolved now. They've had this longstanding relationship that began in the early 70s. But they were interrupted when both married other people. When Charles was told he couldn't marry her.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And so Camilla, you know, married Andrew Parker Bowles and Charles to Princess Diana. Did I just say Camilla there and I didn't hear a horse, Wendy? What are we doing? as far as I know they were still taking care of a little business meeting at the back fence
Starting point is 00:39:09 even when they were married so you know that's as far as I know I know that we can't say that publicly oh no that won't happen but as far as I know
Starting point is 00:39:19 they were still meeting at the old back fence when they were both married in fact that was kind of the downfall of their marriages because they were still in love with each other I mean they do
Starting point is 00:39:30 Charles has loved her forever and it was just silly that they didn't get married to begin with. But happy birthday to Camilla Parker Bowles wife to King Charles III. I said her name again. Look, it's the rules of the show. Okay, when you say her name, the horsewinnny has to be played.
Starting point is 00:39:55 It's a rule of the show. So she's 78 years old today, born in London, England. on the 17th of July 1947. And today is the 17th of July as well, 2025. That makes her 78. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:14 She's the Chinese zodiac sign of the pig. Her star sign is cancer and she is a baby boomer. So, says so right here in this story. So happy birthday to Camilla.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Everybody. he's a jokester. One of the other jokes that Shane Gillis did at the S-Bs was talk about an Epstein joke that said it was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it must have been deleted. The crowd did not know how to answer. It's such a strange crowd, the S-Bs crowd. Holy cow. That's a tough audience to do.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I did see where Eli Drenkowitz, the head coach of the Missouri Tigers, he was the SEC days going on right now. and he came to the podium this morning in front of the press. Apparently, I don't know, the press crowd is a little low this year at the SEC Media Days. Maybe it's just because it's Missouri. I don't know. But he's available for questions. But he came to the podium and he said, he looked up and he said,
Starting point is 00:41:36 the story I read talked about the media members initially looked around the room in confusion. Did they? That's what's wrong with the, if they looked around in confusion, that's what's. wrong with America. Okay? He said, I know there's a lot of burning questions in this room by the 14 of y'all that showed up here. But just as a reminder, I'm not going to answer any questions about the Epstein files, about the radiation belt, and whether or not it's possible for Lee Harvey Oswald to get three shots off in seven months. I don't have time to answer all these questions, all those questions, but I will answer questions about Missouri football.
Starting point is 00:42:12 That's funny business right there. I mean, take the joke. The media initially looked around in confusion. I didn't know. I guess it became clear finally that we realized he was joking. Yeah, he was joking, you doofuses. You know, another thing that shows up in my timeline from time to time, and I love it. It's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:42:38 It's about the prank that apparently went viral. Someone painted the realistic tunnel with a roadrunner on a bridge. it's a wall underneath the bridge so it looks like it's a tunnel underneath the bridge and that's dangerous and apparently this driver
Starting point is 00:42:56 crashed into it and the locals have called it both dangerous and genius and it's the damage was minor to the car that ran into the wall but it's got the road rudder looking into the tunnel
Starting point is 00:43:11 really funny really good and not real very disappointed It's so good. I want it to be real. And yet it's not. I know.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I really am bummed about that. So the next time you see the roadrunner looking into the tunnel and they tell you that a car, there was an accident and people are upset, but they think it's genius. That's because it's not real. And it didn't happen because it's too good. It's too good. If something is too good in life, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:43:46 good. It didn't happen. All right, let's get out of here. I'm going to leave you with a joke of the day. This joke from Brian, how can you tell? This is kind of a big guy joke. Okay, so just want you to know, this is kind of a big guy joke. But I did laugh, I want Brian to know that. All right. And I don't know if Brian wrote this or not, but I'm going to go ahead and give him credit
Starting point is 00:44:06 for it. How can you tell if a mechanic has a girlfriend? I don't know, Jeff. How can you tell if a mechanic has a girlfriend? girlfriend. Two of his fingers are clean.
