And the headline talks about it Being covered with bird droppings No, it was not covered in bird droppings They found it in the back of this shed And it had bird droppings on the back Of the painting, not on the front. This guy found it in a farm shed in Kinderhook, New York.

He said, you know, that looks like a painting from the painter Sir Anthony Van Dyke. And who doesn't know the great paintings of Sir Anthony Van Dyke? And he said it was a study for St. Jerome painting that Sir Anthony painted. And he bought it for $600. He didn't say anything to anybody. He just said, yeah, yeah, I'll give you a six. And it was just auctioned off for $3.1 million. The oil sketch by the 17th century

Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck, like I said, you know all his works. So it was auctioned off at Suthabees for $3.1 million. Now it depicts a nude elderly man who was a live model study. It was painted between 16, 15 and the 1618 Oh holy cow Congratulations this is why you look at stuff at yard sales and shed sales

And barn sales I mean if you saw that And in the back of the shed would you have paid six hundred dollars for it Not knowing that it was this Great painting by Sir Anthony Van Dyke a study of St. Drum, and I hope I'm pronouncing Sir Anthony's name correctly. It's Van D-Y-C-K. I'm guessing it's Van Dyke. I don't know. It could be Van Dyke. I'm just guessing it's Van Dyke. Anyway, I wish something like this would happen for me. I hope that it happens for you.

If you see something old and it looks like it could be worth a lot of money at a barn sale, be sure to pick it up. welcome to chewing the fat okay warning to all zoos around the world as you know no one supports zoos more than this program chewing the fat and me Jeff Fisher no one and I don't know what's happening

at the Dallas Zoo I don't know if this means that other zoos need to we need to sound the alarm to other zoos I would hope that other zoos are taking heed we have the fourth incident at the Dallas Zoo since the new year. First month, we had the clouded leopard escaped the enclosure, which they ended up finding inside the zoo perimeter,

which I figured that they would. That's normally what happens. They also found that the enclosure for the leopard was intentionally cut. Then the staff members found another intentional cut on the enclosure of the langer monkeys and the monkeys were all accounted for it no one left the monkeys were like yeah i'm not going to try to crawl through that i'm good i'm waiting on lunch now now we had then after that we found that there was a vulture who was dead uh one of the endangered vultures died of an unusual wound and so that's being investigated uh as you know a suspicious death now

we find out that we have two emperor tameran monkeys missing. And apparently there's clear evidence the animals' habitats were tampered with and that they may have been taken. So they're on the hunt for these two tamarine monkeys. I don't know what's happening at the Dallas Zoo. I don't know if we need to rethink who's in charge. We definitely need to take a look at the security that's happening. around this zoo if you you know if you actually care about taking care of the animals and not

wanting them stolen but the rest of the zoos around the country and around the world for that matter need to take heat and take a look at your security take a look at what you've got going on and maybe double check your employees because you know everybody loves animals and everybody wants to work at the zoo because they care for care for the animals there's nothing more than they want to do than feed the hippos and bathe the monkeys and hey let's go make sure the gorillas are okay but now we've got people harming and stealing animals and setting them free uh just upgrade your security just a little bit at zoos around america and top of the dallas zoo uh it's time for uh definitely time for a change there and the fallout from the memphis beating of

Tyree Nichols is still ongoing. I mean two EMTs and a fire department lieutenant have been fired. The five officer, I think we're up to six officers being fired now. Other officers suspended. They've disbanded the unit that these officers were a part of the Scorpion Unit, citing the heinous actions of a few. I mean, there's five officers. How big was the Scorpion Union? I don't know the answer to that. disbanded the unit. I mean, the video of several of the officers beating Tyrone Nichols is just horrible. I mean, they beat him almost to death and he died three days later. The Scorpion Unit is supposed to, you know, it stands for street crimes operations to

restore peace in our neighborhoods. Okay. It's intended to focus on certain high crime areas of Memphis. I mean, they've been charged with murder. second-degree murder. You can, I mean, I know we're protesting the police actions, but everything that can be done is being done. It appears that that's the case.

Boy, it gives police a bad, bad taste. That's for sure. And I just feel like I've watched the videos, and they're horrible, they're beating this guy, and they're fist-bumping at the end. And it's just, they showed up at the, at the, when they pulled him over, they were already

wound up. I just, there's so much more to this. I don't know that we'll ever know what that's so much more is. I don't know if it was, there's so much more around the police. There's so much more around Tyree. By all accounts, he's a good guy.

You know, a working guy has a child. So I mean, by all accounts, he's a good guy. He was a good guy. I don't know. I just want to find, I want to know what brought this on because it's just this horrific beating. It seems so senseless and I want to make some kind of sense about it. And I don't know that we ever will have sense about this beating. I sure hope so. I sure hope so.

And that's not even to mention the race-filled hatred that's going on around the country. and, you know, of course, in Memphis. But, I mean, we don't know if these officers were hired to lower standards, but we know that they were all black males that did the beating on another black male. So, you know, most people would say, well, there you go. How can that be white supremacy? Well, we have a Reverend, the Reverend Christopher McKee, Jr., in Jacksonville, Florida, telling us, As we lift the name of our brother Tyree Nichols from Memphis, who, though killed at the hands of black men, was killed by a system of white racial supremacy, which devalues black lives to the point that we don't value it in one another.

Can I? Oh. Oh, okay. Thank you, Reverend. We have Whoopi Goldberg from the View asking if white people need to get beaten to death by police. before anything is done about the police. I know that we have people asking about police reform, what to do about police reform, that's for sure.

I saw Vernon Jones asked on Twitter, everyone is screaming police reform. If I ask 10 people, what is police reform? I will likely get 10 different answers. Tell me, what is your idea of police reform? And there are hundreds, if not thousands, of responses, but a few of them are increased trainings, especially in handling mental illness, increasing number of police body cams that the officers cannot control are a few that come to mind.

We also need prison reform. We need to work harder on rehabilitation and giving people skills to live a better life outside of prison, counseling, education, and support for a length of time after release. Those are just a few that come to mind. Next, Memphis set a record for murders in 2021 with 346, breaking the previous record of 332 said in 2020. Same for Atlanta record. Now murder rates in 2020 and 2021.

Not really sure what that has to do with police reform. Mandatory one year prison for resisting arrest. Mandatory five years in prison for assaulting anyone. Mandatory 10 years for stealing a gun. We cannot tolerate criminals and then expect cops to take the abuse. That's a tough one. I don't know if I agree with the mandatory sentencing, but we should not be letting people out early.

We cannot tolerate criminals and then expect the police to take the abuse. No question. The Scorpion Unit was created to deal with what were apparently serious issues in the community. Police reform starts with communities facing the reasons why they needed more aggressive police to begin with. Privatize our security and qualified immunity. I'm available for more government fixes if you need. Yeah, I don't want the government taking over. I don't want the federal.

I don't want police federalized. And that's what's coming. They're meeting to talk about that now. I've been an LEO since 1987, so I have experience to draw from currently numerous departments across the country, can't find personnel. Therefore, they're lowering their standards. BJJ training is essential and always should have been established trusting relationships with the community.

Yeah, those all sound good, but you have to get the people to actually work the system, Let municipalities hire and fire entire departments. Privatization will ensure that they don't abuse their power. Okay. Objective one. Uphold existing laws. Weed out, retire, fire police deputies are with troubled history. Top down.

Fund police to increase police department. Manning levels per the police to population ratio within the precinct. Upholding a strict hiring qualification process. Yeah. I mean, all of these sound good and I could go on and read hundreds, if not thousands. Mandatory. two officers per patrol car, one of which is the supervisor role

with minimum five years experience. Eight hours per 40-hour work week dedicated to training, mandatory fitness testing and time for exercise, improved pay and benefits to recruit and train, retain the best. Yeah, those all sound great, but we have to get the officers wanting to do the job.

Wow. Eliminate traffic stops. Use cameras and technology to find traffic violations. Okay. But what about in Europe? You never find a cop hiding behind trees in Europe. This is so unnecessary.

Just mail a $500 ticket and watch how no one's speeds. The problem is now a business. So you see the problem. I know that I've started to get serious here on Touring the Fat. I'm going to have to back off a little bit because this whole Tyree Nichols thing has really got me kind of bugged. I'm not really sure. There's so much more to the story, and I want to get to it. But there's also so much more to what's happening around the country.

In race relations, in police and community relations, and how we fix the problem. The problem is so much bigger than just a bad cop beating up someone in a traffic stop. You know, it all starts with that, no question, just horrible. He just He doesn't deserve to get what he got but he didn't follow all the directions

of the police to begin with so that again is another side issue He didn't deserve any of it I'm not saying that he did And again by all accounts He was a good person It was a good man But I just

There's so much more to this And the fallout is Is still coming And I fear that the fallout is not going to be be pretty. And I know. I know. All right. I'll stop. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. And I'll try. We'll get back to chewing the fat. I try not to get too political and too serious. Because that's what this show, you know, I want this show not to be all serious and stuff.

The rest of the shows that are broadcasting from Texas today are almost shut down. I mean, there's ice all over everything where I love. DFW is damn near shut down to nothing. I look out my window here and I see the neighborhood road. Normally you see a tire track where somebody from the neighborhood has tried to leave and go out and face the world. I don't see any today. There's no tire tracks.

That road is just a sheet of ice. So I'm broadcasting, you know, from the Chewing the Fat Studios at home. And there's been some issues at the Blaze studio because of the weather. So just, you know, sorry, that's just the way it is here. in DFW and Texas, when it rains and gets cold and freezes, it creates a thing called ice. And when that happens, things shut down. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

Well, well, well, it seems as though that everyone who suspected the old M&M suspension of its candy mascots was just a PR stunt? I was correct. The brand told the New York Times that its characters will be its long-term spokes candies. Are you kidding me? We're not getting rid of them.

And apparently they're going to reappear in an upcoming Super Bowl commercial. I mean, I'm sure that was, you know, recorded quite some time ago. It costs a lot of money for those Super Bowl commercials. Last week, Eminem said it was sending its mascots into retirement the right wing backlash to their recent outfit changes and then they brought in what's her face as their spokesperson

uh mya rudolph but they said that she was going to be in a super bowl commercial too so maybe she says goodbye to them in the super bowl commercial like get out of here all the right when people hate you uh all you LGBTQ m&Ms get out of here i'm here but m&Ms are still good i mean it's just amazing emmns i hope you're just doing commercials, please, just please. Costs a lot of money for those Super Bowl commercials, though. I mean, you're looking at up to $7 million for 30 seconds during the Super Bowl. That seems like a lot of money.

Now, they claim that the Super Bowl ads are being sold at record-breaking numbers, and why would they be really? I mean, you're looking at 100 million. eyes. I'm sorry, there'd be 200 million eyes, 100 million people watching the games. Oh, that's assuming everyone has two eyes. Don't get me with that, okay? It's just

we'll just stick with 100 million people, okay? I don't know how many eyes they have. So it's more than 100 million but less than 200 million because now everyone has two eyes. I got it. But I mean, we're talking about a huge amount of

people and you know, a lot of money for those commercials. I will say that it used to be a bigger deal than it has been in the recent past because we see them all online before the Super Bowl. So I would say that a good marketing campaign for a company would be to have a campaign building up to something that no one has seen during the Super Bowl. But no one, no one consulted me. So no one emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com. No one reached out to me at jeffey. jfr on twitter or jeff fisher radio on instagram and facebook no one reached out so what i would like to do is if

i would like to do a cameo commercial during the super bowl to promote at jeffy jfr cameo and just people have people order cameo should actually do an ad uh during the super bowl it would be it would be awesome and they could use all the people that have cameo accounts uh for their commercial and people would be up for it because they'd do it for nothing to promote their cameo account but you know what do i know nothing that's what i know nothing pay your seven million for the commercial of 30 seconds and zip it okay yeah so did you see where uh hawk hogan apparently had back surgery and now he can't feel his legs at all as lower body

he can't feel it at all that kind of sucks that's what I'm saying I'm gonna go out on a limb here saying that sucks they claim that he had to use a cane to walk around because he can't feel anything

below his waist so apparently Hulk who's 69 now his real name Terry Gene Ballet I used to see Hulk all the time his kids went to the same school as my oldest son

for a year or two I used to see him all the time. They were friends and see Hulk a couple times a week for a year or so. I like him. He's a good guy. I used to see him after the wrestling matches when he was, I mean, that was when he was still wrestling.

And he could barely move, you know, at the end of, after, you know, the next day, he's just struggling. It's just like the NFL. You know, you play the game. And then the next day you need a day to, you know, you need a day to rehab. a little bit. So apparently he can't feel anything below the waist

and he has some use of his legs. He was just seen at an event where it looked like he was, you know, walking or standing without a cane. Could have been just for the picture. No one knows for sure. He had nerves cut from his lower body

so he can't feel his lower body and that's why they claim he has to use a cane to walk around. He can't feel anything. He hasn't commented on it. So I mean, he's been through so much, 35-year career with the WWE. He's had

in dozens of surgeries. I mean, Brooke, his daughter, who, I mean, that family just fell apart after they went to the reality show. Just incredible. That's a whole other story. Anyway, his daughter, Brooke said that he had undergone 25 surgeries,

fake knees, fake hips, back is full of metal, and part of his face is full of metal. Wow. So he had a slight tear in his right knee, declined to have surgery at the time, and then he was, you know, just started to be freaking out.

I mean, I've got a fake knee. I've had multiple surgeries on the real knee. I've had a shoulder surgery. I think that's where I'm at. I mean, I had multiple surgeries on my left knee before they put the fake knee in. So you can count that as, you know, I think I had one, two, three or four surgeries prior to the fake knee going in.

So there's five. And then I've had two or three on my right knee. So let's say that's seven or eight. And then I've had surgery on my shoulder. So that's nine. That's just counting, you know, body parts. And I could use a lot more. I mean, my right knee is, uh, uh, needs to be taken care of, uh, soon.

or I'm just going to, I'm hobbling around on it as we speak. And I could use a fake right knee. But I'm not going through that surgery. Not right now. I can't do that. Anyway, Hulk Hogan, wandering around, can't feel his back. Hope you get better, Hulk. Hope you get better.

So Andrea Reisborough, the actress, a little bit of trouble with the old Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences people. She was nominated for, um, her performance into Leslie. And apparently that was a shock when it was announced. The film had, you know, no, no heat from people watching it. Made $28,000, $28,000 at the box office. I mean, I probably could make a movie that would make $28,000 at the box office.

but prior to the nomination voting period at the end I mean Jennifer Anston, Kate Winslet, Edward Norton, Kate Blanchett mentioned Riceberg, endorsed Riceberg, and Kate Blanchett mentioned Riseboro in her Critics Choice Award acceptance speech. So people are wondering, hey, what's going on here? What's happening?

Because apparently the Oscars say you can't be campaigning for your movies. Okay. And apparently to Leslie, the movie may have violated a few of those rules. You're not supposed to contact voters directly and encourage promotion and the rule against singling out

competing nominees by name. I mean, that's kind of old school thinking, but okay, that's fine, no problem. Most insiders now predict, you know, it'll be up hell. She's fine. She was nominated. Let's move on. But they're also mad because, oh, if she's been out campaigning, that doesn't leave room for the black actresses like Danielle, Deadweiler and Viola Davis, their nominations, you know,

need to be up there too. Yeah, well, okay. I mean, I love Andrea. She's been in a couple things that I love. Obviously, I have not seen. not see the the great movie to Leslie but she's been she was in oblivion

the one-time Cruz movie which I love that movie she was in Bloodline she was in a I don't know how many episodes half a dozen to a dozen episodes in Bloodline

plus she starred in the 0-00 on Amazon Prime which was awesome I love that show. If you have a chance, if you haven't seen 0-000 on Amazon Prime, sit through it. It's really good.

Eight episodes, well worth the watch. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay. Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. Well, a deadline for seven states to agree. on how to reduce their use of Colorado River water is today.

For those of you listening live, it is the 31st of January, 2023. The Interior Department looks to stem the historic drops on the system's water volume. And we've talked about how low the water is out west for sure. And the Department has warned a lack of agreement could force it to impose mandatory cuts. They should be doing this anyway. Some of these cuts should have already been happening. They've been lollygagging around.

The 23-year drought worsted in 1,200 years. The Hoover Dam's Lake Mead is historically low. The basin supports 40 million people across California, Arizona, Nevada, the upper basin, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Some of that water, I believe, gets used in Mexico as well. states have long drawn more water than the river produces uh yeah partly because early water managers math errors yeah i know mathin is hard isn't it oh that reminds me i got to play that the video

of the lady who's talking about mathin is hard because she's pissed that people are getting social security at sam's club hold on hold on Social Security money at Sam's Club and their immigrants. And the phrase, the math is not mathing. This made me laugh. This is the TikToker Sagittarius Woman 912. Hey, y'all. So I'm in Sams.

And I just found something out. And I'm trying to fathom, trying to figure it out. So how is it? that the Biden administration has made it possible for Ukrainian refugees to get SSI checks. They're not paying into the system. They're not from this country. They didn't help build this country. So riddle me this.

How are they getting SSI checks? You know, the monies that are taken out of every paycheck that we get, every time we get a paycheck, that chunk of money that they take. How are Ukrainian refugees? Geez, getting SSI checks. Make me understand that. Please make me understand that. Because they're trying to work us until we die

so that we don't get the SSI check. So how is that happening? Somebody please make me understand because the math is not mapping. Think about it. The math is not mathing. That from Sagittarius Woman 912 on TikTok. So I got sidetracked with the math that's not mathing thought in my head. So who died today?

Who died today? Cindy Williams. Cindy Williams from Laverne and Shirley. Yes, Shirley from Laverne and Shirley, has passed away at the age of 75 years of age. Sidney Williams, rest in peace. Now she has a couple of kids. She was married to, or was married to Bill. Hudson, who was from the musical group, the Hudson Brothers, who doesn't remember the great

Hudson brothers. Now, he is also the father of Kate Hudson, the actress, because he was previously married to Goldie Haunt. Oh, what a wicked web we weave in Hollywood, isn't it? So Cindy Williams, she had a great career. She did a lot of really cool stuff, really good stuff. And I was reading about her and how she... she almost got picked over Carrie Fisher for the Star Wars role,

which would have been a whole different world for her, right, if she would have been picked for Princess Leia for that. I loved the comments from Henry Winkler. He said that I met Williams while playing Fonzie on Happy Days. Cindy has been my friend and professional colleagues since I met her on the set of Happy Days. in 1975. Not once have I ever been in her presence when she wasn't gracious, thoughtful, and kind. Cindy's talent was limitless. There was not a genre she could not conquer. I am so glad I knew her.

That, I think, says it all for Cindy Williams. So Cindy Williams, after a brief illness, they didn't say what illness it was, dead at the age of 75. Okay, so while it's not dead, it is the last. of the Boeing 747s, known as the Queen of the Skies and considered the world's first jumbo jet. The last one is being delivered to cargo carrier Atlas Air today,

which is the final rollout of the iconic aircraft, the four-engine hump-shaped 747, world's first twin-isle airplane, manufactured first in 1968, entered the service and now defunned pan-American world airwaves in 1970.

Yeah, I mean, holy cow. More than 1,570 models of the aircraft have been created for both passengers and cargo. There are about 358 Boeing 747 still in existence, including the two Air Force 1 and Air Force 2 airlines. The newer, more fuel-efficient

two-engine Boeing 777X is slated to replace the Boeing 747 in 2025 and will become Boeing's largest aircraft. Okay. So it didn't die, but the 747, it is the last of the 747s. It will be a documentary very soon, the last of 747.

Speaking of airlines too, today, thanks to the weather, the ice storms hitting the southern U.S., in particular where, you know, where I'm at in DFW, Southwest, and American Airlines canceled hundreds of flights. So it's going to take days and it's going to impact states from Texas to Ohio or freezing rain, icy roads.

More than 18,000 flights yesterday were delayed or canceled. And so we'll see. I mean, we'll see if we need an investigation. What happened? Yeah, the weather happened. And don't forget Thursday coming up is, what's his face? You know,

Groundhog, Punksitani Phil. It's his day on Thursday. So we'll find out if winter is here to stay or not. That's coming up on Thursday, though. We still got a couple days. And speaking of things coming up, our president, Joseph Biden, told Congress

that the U.S. will end its national emergency and public health emergency declarations for COVID. well some of you are saying hey isn't that really hasn't that been over in our lives anyway well yes it has but not according to the government and according to our president and the government uh that's going to happen in may we're not going to do it right away that's just silly we're going to take care of it in may okay so i guess what that really means is there's going to be a lot of federal money that goes away to pandemic driven causes. So boosters are no longer, will no longer be free. Tests are no longer going to be free. The emergency status from many people want it to end

right now. And that's not going to happen. I mean, really, in our own lives, it's been over. But there's plenty of government entities that have been milking the system for a lot of money. and they don't want that to go. They want to give you a heads up. Hey, you know, all that money you've been getting, yeah, it's going to go away. It's going to go away, you know, in May. We'll let you figure it out until then.

Okay, I'm not going to do it right away. So I'll look forward to, though, right? I mean, the national emergency and public health emergency for COVID is gone in May. So ridiculous. A new study has found that COVID is the eighth most common cause of death in kids, as long as we're talking about COVID,

we might as well add a few more stories about COVID. Children and young people make up 0.1% of the 1.1 million Americans who've died of the virus. That's still more than 1,300 people. Yeah, I know, but it's nothing in relationship anyway. Now this study found that COVID has surpassed the flu and pneumonia as a leading cause of death for kids. following shortly after homicides and heart disease.

Given the efficacy of the vaccines, the study found that COVID may also be leading vaccine preventable diseases. Now, the news comes as more than 90% of kids in the U.S. under five remain unvaccinated and less than 10% have gotten a booster. So, wow. So the 90% I mean the 10% that have been vaccinated, vaccinated, then inside of that 10%, less than 10% of those numbers have gotten the booster because, I mean, they realize there was no point to it.

And so, okay, all right. Now, the World Health Organization lists COVID as a public health emergency, but now says the pandemic is probably at a transition point, you think. Some see reclassifications like this as an overdue acknowledgement of the world moving on. Yeah, some as in I definitely am one of those. Others see them as humanity wishing the virus to go away while allocating fewer tax dollars to make that happen. No, I see it as, let's move on and we know it's out there and we take care of it as it comes, okay? And people are not going to have their kids vaccinated no matter how much you yell at them, okay? That's an incredible

number. 90% of the kids in the U.S., under five, remain unvaccinated because people don't want to give it to their kids, and less than 10% have gotten a booster. So the 10% who have gotten the vaccine, less than 10% of that number have gotten a booster. That means that people do not want that vaccine in their kids. Wow, just incredible. So you don't have to. They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags. Designer. Handpicked the finest sweaters from the rest.

Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup palettes from the brands you love. Rushes too. And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshalls. We get the deals.

You gift the good stuff. Okay, so we have drunks in the news. Let's leave you today. uh here with uh drunks in the news we have the actress in uh the united kingdom honeysuckle uh the british actor honeysuckle weeks uh she confessed in the uk court to drunk driving but she said hey i did so i was going to be forced into having a threesome and i didn't want that to happen wait what yeah she said i was staying at a friend's house for the night and uh i we were drinking and i was fearing that they were going to coerce me into having sex,

so I opted to drive off. Oh, okay. Now, apparently, an off-duty police officer, this is kind of agonizing the story of how she got arrested. The off-duty cop watched the actor back her Honda into a parked car and leave, but return almost immediately. Then while the vehicle was stopped,

that's when the police officer shows up and says, oh, you were driving drunk. All right, well, she was. So I don't know why it's agonizing. It just kind of bugs me that he, you know, go after her when she waited until he came back. Anyway, so she, that happens, she drove off after she

hit the car, then she came back, but she left originally because she was being forced she thought, she thought she was going to be talked into having a threesome and how you can't say no. If you're drunk and you're at a friend's house and they say, hey, want to have a threesome with us, you can't say no.

So, I mean, you have to get out of there. Of course, duh. And they took her to the police station because she was unable to take one on the road. Huh. Yeah, she was driving with more than twice the legal limit. Now, she pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and said so, you know, she said she was going to be pressured into that threesome. She didn't want any part of it.

Oh, okay. Now she asks that I got to take my son to school every day. I got to drive. You know, I know she was banned from driving for 20 months and small fines. Look, she's been in drug rehab and alcohol rehab before. She's been busted with driving her kid around crazily when he didn't have a seatbelt out. How dare you drive in an automobile with your children without them having a seatbelt on? So the real reason wasn't that she was drunk at a friend's house and went to drive away

and then decided she probably was too drunk to drive away after she hit the car. The real reason was is that she left because she thought she was going to be forced into having a threesome at the house. can't you can't say no to something like that then we have a lady in canada another drunk in the news uh she pled guilty to four counts of impaired driving was slapped with a three year prison prison sentence wow and she got fined a bunch of money okay what happened to her she went to a party uh she went to a concert and got really really drunk at this concert at this bar okay then Then she caused $10 million in damages. She crashed into a house causing an explosion.

Yes. And because of the explosion, all these houses got ruined and some people got hurt. Some firefighters got hurt. Some people got hurt. She was drinking and she got behind the wheel. Then she ran into the brick home, rupturing a gas line, massive explosion. four houses, seven people injured. Amazing, right?

So the cause damages of $9 to $15 million, man, that was the wrong neighborhood to run into. So they're saying, I mean, she's going to be fine, like $15 million. Okay? So now she's saying that the company that served her a concert at Budweiser Gardens Arena in L, LeBden, Ontario, should not have served her all this alcohol, and it is their fault. Oh, okay, there's no personal responsibility or anything? No. No. Ovations, Ontario Food Services,

the company that distributed the booze, that's, you know, tough. They need to take liability for it because they should not have served her alcohol while they were aware that the bar goer or was intoxicated already. And they accused them of putting profit above safety. So there's no personal responsibility at all. And their negligence caused this to happen. Okay. All right.

So good luck. We'll see if that actually works. In today's world, it probably will. And we have former quarterback for Georgia, the national champion, Georgia Bulldog Stetson Bennett. another drunk in the news. Stetson Bennett, who I don't know why he was in Dallas,

but he was in Dallas this past weekend. And somebody said, hey, there's a guy banging on doors in this neighborhood, is driving me crazy. It's okay, I mean, it's in the morning, Sunday morning, he's banging on the doors, what's going on? So the officers arrived and they said,

hey, what's going on here? And they realized that the guy was intoxicated and it was Stetson Bennett. So he was taken into custody, transported to the city detention center, charged with public intoxication. Then he left the detention center and could not be reached for comment.

There's no reason for him to comment. Let me just move on with your life, man, and pretend like it didn't happen. Because he's got a fairly decent NFL deal coming up. The draft is coming up. He's hoping to go into the NFL. You don't want to be one of those guys again.

Once you get that sticker on you, that sticker does not come off. Man, holy cow. And it doesn't say, I mean, what? The guy was looking for a friend? Sunday morning, he forgot what house they were in. He's in a strange place. Sure he was drunk.

He's banging on doors. And you're going to arrest him for being with public intoxication when he couldn't find his friend. What's going out in America? You can't even be drunk looking for a friend's house anymore. without being arrested. Man, what have we become?
