This is what I love and hate about the internet. Okay, so I see a breaking news story, and it says, Obama's housekeeper found dead inside Washington, D.C. residents.

And I'm like, holy cow. Another housekeeper slash worker at the house, due person, dies, you know, not only at D.C., but we know that the chef, right, died in 2023 in an accidental drowning at Martha's Vineyard. And I'm thinking, oh my gosh, what is happening at the Obama's house? And it says in this report, the D.C. Metropolitan Police reportedly responded to the home of the former president in the early hours of Sunday morning regarding a deceased individual

who was later identified as the Obama family's housekeeper. the individual is said to be a male in his mid-30s, but no name or other identifying information has been publicly released at this point. Now, reports indicate that Barack and Michelle were home at the time of this incident. Okay, right there, you lose me. Because I don't think Barack and Michelle have shared a home in the last five years for sure. But I could be wrong. Maybe they both were there.

And the man was pronounced dead at the scene with no cause of death, publicly released. A full investigation is underway. And I am like, holy cow, you do not want to work for the Obamas. You just don't. And then, you know, of course, we get the fact checkers. No credible reports confirm a housekeeper was found dead at the Obama's Washington, D.C. residence. Yeah. And that's, I believe that because, and I told you why.

There's no way that Barack and Michelle We're at the same residence at the same time On a Sunday? No, they are not together. Sorry, that's not happening. Welcome! Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus.

I guess I need to say hello to all the people waiting at an airport for their Spirit Airlines to arrive. It's not going to arrive. I'm sure you know. that by now because somewhere there's a sign that says we're closed we're shutting down we there's no longer check another flight another terminal another air company because we're closed you know they sent out their their announcement it is with great disappointment that spirit airlines has started winding down its global operations effective immediately that meant that if your flight was in the air

when it landed you were done all flights have been canceled and customer service is no longer of While we are not able to help rebook your flight on another airline, we will automatically process refunds for any flights purchased through Spirit with a credit or debit card to the original form of payment. We're proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry for the last 33 years and had hoped to serve our guests for many years to come. For more information on the wind down process, you can, of course, visit Spirit restructuring.com. Yeah, that's what we want to do. So I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know that anyone knows what's going to happen. And I guess another airline could purchase it now.

But boy, it's going to take a lot. And maybe it won't. Maybe you take the 17,000 employees and you say, come back to work. You're now working for, I don't know, Hooters Air. Or you're now working for JetBlue. Or you're now working for America. or United, one or the other.

Who knows? But good luck. And I'm glad that I was not one of the ones that had counted on a flight from Spirit going somewhere on Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. Because that would have made me very angry. And I understand the anger if you were standing at the gate going, no, that can't happen. It did.

So Bear is really. recalling aphrine, the original nasal spray. But they're only recalling 786,100 travel-sized bottles of their afrin original nasal spray. After federal regulators flagged the packaging as a possible danger to children. Yeah, and that they're doing this voluntarily. Uh-huh. But the federal regulators were the ones that caught it. Yeah, but we're voluntarily.

calling them. Oh, okay. What's the problem with it? Well, there's concerns that the six milliliter bottles are not properly child resistant. Bear said the recall, as I said, is voluntary, and it's a labeling problem. It doesn't have anything to do with the product, safety or quality, and the nasal spray itself in these particular recalled bottles are safe when they're used as directed in children ages 6 and older. But so it just applies, the recall just applies to the unexpired travel size Afrin original nasal spray. What about the expired ones? Can I still use those?

I don't think so. But it's funny how they differentiate. This recall only applies to the unexpired travel size of Afrin original nasal spray. The labels will say Afrin original nasal spray on the front along with the size marking and the lot number and if it's still on the shelf. I mean, I'm sure many of these have been pulled off the shelf already

and we cannot have a package that is not child resistant. No, sir. We don't want parents to be held accountable and what would happen if the child got into the bottle of aphrine nasal spray. I'm sorry, Afrin original nasal spray. Is it 6 milliliters would do harm? I don't know.

I don't know. Just here you go. Don't use it. I mean, I'm guessing that the aphrine would not cause hunter virus. I just joking. Just joking. Of course, I know that the afrin

or the original nasal spray would not cause a hunter virus. But there is a ship that has a dinkin. deadly outbreak of a junta virus has been refused permission to dock 149 people still on board two of them seriously ill the virus is suspected to have killed three people and sickened three more with one patient hospitalized in critical condition now correct me if i'm wrong but hunter virus, I thought, was because of breathing in rat stuff, right?

Isn't that what killed what's his face? And what's her face? You know, the actor. Gene Hackman, yeah, and his wife. I thought that's what killed them. Okay, whatever you say, whatever it is, you say. The World Health Organization, which we are not a part of anymore, I heard RFK Jr. announced that we are not a part of the World Health Organization any longer.

We don't care what they say they're gone. Okay? So we're not part of the World Health Organization any longer. That being said, the World Health Organization commented on this, saying that there's an ongoing risk to general public from disease, which is rare in humans and not easily transmitted. And there's no need to panic. Oh, okay.

Well, the remaining passengers who are on this boat, from 23 different countries, including 17 Americans, are required to follow strict precautionary measures, including isolation and medical monitoring. Okay. The West African nation of Cape Verde said, yeah, you're not docking here. The cruise operators, like,

I guess we can sail to Las Palmas, the Canary Islands and dock there. Good luck. We're trying to find a place to dock. We've got hunter virus and we've got people sick And we don't know if there's any gonna be any You know anywhere for us to dock two crew members One British one Dutch were ill required urgent medical care

The cruise operator said you know the who said it's assisting in planning the medical evacuation of these patients How would we just helicopter in? We can't dock the ship Are we gonna send like little dinghies out to bring the people home? I don't know But the Hunter virus ship is looking for a place to dock. And we want those people to be safe, and we don't want any more people to die, and we want them to find a good place to dock, but not here. You know, I did this story in the Fat Five this morning on Pat Grandleast, which I do every day, Monday through Friday,

chewing the Fat Fat Fat Five on Pat Greenleash, which, you know, you can catch on Blaze TV or Blaze Radio, or wherever, whatever. There's other platforms that carry us. I think Pluto also carries us. But daily, 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Central. Pat Gray unleashed, I'm a part of that program every day. And I do a fat five. And that's why this is called the Fat 5 Plus,

because I try not to do the same stories that I do on the Fat 5. But I am going to do this story because I'm still baffled by it a little. Colossil biosciences, you know, the company that claims it can reverse extinction, the company that's bringing back to Willie Mammoth, the company that's bringing back to Dyerwolves, a company that's bringing back to Tasmanian Devil. Now they're saying that they were taking steps to restore the Blue Buck Antelope.

How many of us have been clamoring for the return of the Blue Buck Antelope? I don't know what the Blue Buck Antelope did for the planet. It's native to Africa, and it vanished a couple hundred years ago. So why the concern to bring it back? Apparently, the people that colossal extracted DNA from the Blue Buck specimen from the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Love that place.

And they've had it for a couple of years now or a year and a half. And now people in the white lab coats are trying to bring it back. And I'm not really sure I understand why. Maybe it's just because they can, but the scientific community says that colossal isn't bringing back extinct species. It's creating new hybrids by editing them into the modern genome of a similar animal. All right, maybe, maybe that's true.

Applications, you know, CEO Ben Lamb said the reason for revealing the company's blue buck work now is because the technology could be used to preserve endangered antelope species. He must be a hunter. You know, he wants extra antelope and blue buck on the earth so he can go hunt them. So I guess there's 29 endangered antelope species. And, you know, look, I want the earth to be plentiful with all animals. No, Pete, I really do. But if, will the earth fall apart if a particular antelope species

dies off. With the Blue Buck Antelope died off a couple hundred years ago, what happened to the Earth? Oh, I know. The Earth did what the Earth does. So I'm really, it's just got to be that they could do it, right? It just is. And plus, they don't even know what they're going to do with it.

The Blue Buck's original habitat, gone. Colossil is partnering with the nonprofit advanced conservation strategies. Love them to find potential new host countries. The company is also collaborating with private landowners and governments to create a reintroduction plan. I mean, maybe we just, you know, maybe we just give them to zoos.

And we create the old blue buck and give them to zoos around the world. And the zoos can have, hey, look, there's a species from colossal that went extinct a couple hundred years ago. And there they are. They brought them back. Yay. Yay! We've got Blue Buck Antelope on the Earth again, thanks to Colossal.

Maybe that's the best we can help for. Oh, boy, so a while ago, this doesn't have anything to do with Colossal, because we don't even have one for them to help become non-extinct. But we've got Bigfoot sightings everywhere these days. We had the guy in, was he in Louisiana? I think he was. at the truck stop and he recorded the Bigfoot sound. So he's got it.

He had the Bigfoot sound. And then now, apparently in Northeast Ohio, there are all kinds of Bigfoot Sasquatch sightings, anywhere between 6 feet and 10 feet. They've got footprints out in the yard that they've taken pictures of. and so I'm telling you, between Akron and Youngstown, there was where most of the prints are, an estimated 17 inches long,

and they can only match a creature that's seven feet tall. So that's got to be it. So that's where they're at right now. They're in northeast Ohio. And so if you are in northeast Ohio, and you hear eerie howls, you're seeing enormous footprints, They're all big and hairy and brown.

You've seen Bigfoot. And make sure you let us know. Take a picture. I would love for you to send me a picture of Bigfoot to Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Chewing the fat at theblaze.com. Send me a picture, please, of Sasquatch in Northeast Ohio. We've got to find the audio of the truck driver.

Hold, please. Okay, this is it, I think. I think, I think this is it. The truck driver on the road, the truck stop in Highway 97, which is right there. Everybody knows where that is. The truck stop on Highway 97 there. All right, so here's his recorded sound at the truck stop. It's your stuff out here.

Okay, shut up. Let us hear him. Here we go. Is that? Oh, my. Oh, that's scary. All right, I can't listen anymore that. There's 11 minutes of this. Did you hear it?

Did you hear it? Ah, me too. But that noise, that's Bigfoot. So if you hear that or see the footprints or see someone crossing the street or the road or your backyard that's between six and ten feet tall and all hairy, that's Bigfoot. And I want a picture of it sent to me, please. Okay, I apologize.

There's more to the Bigfoot audio, well, audio video, because the trucker posted on YouTube. There's more to it. You heard some of it. And then there's... Oh! Oh, holy cow. Oh, what is that? That is frightening.

And according to this, there's a YouTuber that examined this recording. And with his sonic fingerprint analysis, which I'm sure is perfect, discovered that whatever made the noises, that you just heard, had immense capabilities with their vocal cords. He was able to identify the loud howls were coming from two sources and determined that whatever made the noises did not match the frequency of wolves.

He remarked that the recording is not a wolf, it's not a human, and does not match any known species on the planet. So there you go. It's got to be Bigfoot, and that's thanks to the sound. fingerprint analysis from YouTuber thinker-thunker. Rhesas knows a thing or two about great combinations.

Chocolate and peanut butter, obviously, but there's more than one way to Rhesus.

Collection 25 coins dating from Greek Roman and the Byzantine periods, along with a striking marble torso of syphilis, the Greek god of medicine. In a coordinated effort spanning multiple agencies and borders,

U.S. authorities have repatriated 26 ancient artifacts, Greece, marking another step in the ongoing fight against the illicit trade and cultural heritage. The operation was led by Homeland Security Investigations, a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that's HSI, ICE with support of U.S. Customs Border Protection, CBP, the FBI, the State Department, items were recovered following months of investigation, underscoring the growing international cooperation aimed at protecting and restoring looted antiques to their country's origin. Now, okay, that's great.

And I get it. But all these departments, I don't know how much time and energy and money we spent on 26 coins and a torso statue. Okay, all right, good. I'm happy that Greece is getting back. What's theirs? As far as I know, nothing has happened yet, but we did have the big security alert at the embassy in London over the weekend.

U.S. Embassy in London issued a security alert, urging Americans in the U.K. to exercise increased caution in public spaces, stating a terrorist attack is highly likely. The alert comes as British authorities elevate the national terrorism threat level too severe. Wow. Okay. Now, some of the advice they give is good advice, you know, 24-7. Stay alert in public places, including schools, hospital, churches, tourist locations, and transportation hubs, vary your travel routes and times of reduce predictability. Yeah, I'm not,

I got to drive the same route every day. I'm with you. I understand. Keep a low profile. remain aware of your surroundings including local events shall always do that review your personal security plans all we have meetings weekly uh that's not true report social media threats and suspicious activity to local authorities uh monitor local news were updates yeah i mean you should do that anyway but as far as i know uh no one has been harmed yet from this threat uh so Okay, I'm glad that we were made aware of the terrorism threat level, moving up to severe. And most importantly, the security alert urging Americans in the UK to exercise increased caution in public spaces. Oh, okay.

Oh, and we are coming up on hurricane season, June 1st next month. Today is, may the fourth be with you. all for those of you listening live today is the 4th of May 26 so may the 4th be with you we have the Atlantic Hurricane names have they just released so we have new names this year every year we release them Arthur Bertha Christobal Dali Eduad Faye Gonzala Hannah now this one is going to be a little tricky I-S-A-I-A-I-A-S. I want to say Isaiah's, but I don't think that's right.

I think they want you to say E-A-S? I-A-S? Okay. Josephine, Kyle, Leah, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Renee, Sally, Teddy, Vicky, Wilfred.

Let's hope we don't have to use any of them, but it's very possible that we will. You know, that's funny that they pick all these names. I was thinking, you know, why there's never a Shaniqua or, you know, Muhammad, or, you know, Zenab, Samaya, Amira. Never any of those. That's interesting that there's just American names. Well, it's an American hurricane center, so that's why. All right.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with John Sterling. John Sterling, you may know him as the voice of the Yankees. He was there. He did a broadcast stretch of 5,060 consecutive games has passed away at the age of 87. Sterling was the Yankees Radio,

play-by-play voice for 36 seasons. I mean, he was behind the five world change. championship teams, seven American League pennant winners during the time he retired in 2024 and saying that he was tired of traveling. So he retired in 2024 and now he's passed away. That's not good. That goes that leans toward not retiring for sure. He had a heart attack in January and now he's dead. Oh boy. That's not good. So this abodes well too. Anytime you're a broadcaster, you don't retire. Once you retire, that's the end. It's the end. It's over.

So rest in peace to John Sterling, who you would think may have been, you know, smarter, but he's a radio guy, so he's not really smarter, would have known don't retire. Just push your way through it. But he has passed away, rest in peace, to John Sterling dead at the age of 87. Then we have, well, not dead yet. Who didn't die today? Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani hospitalized in critical but stable condition. His spokesperson, I don't know who that is, said that his talk show audience, that his voice was a little under the weather.

Yeah, well, no kidding. Ted Goodman, who is the spokesman, didn't say what sent Giuliani, 81, to the hospital. but I didn't say what the prognosis or the diagnosis was. So, you know, we know that Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who's faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength. He's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak. He said that Giuliana remains in critical but stable conditions. So, you know, we don't want anything.

We want Rudy to walk out of that hospital. But it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Just me. That's all. Just me. I'm hoping that it does. All right, let's get out of here. Joke of the day from a Denny, joke of the day from Denny. Hey, Jeffie, if A.N.I. Anna is short for Anakin. And Obi-I, Obi is short for Obi-Wan. What is Luke short for? See, this is kind of a, may the fourth be with you themed joke. If Anna is short for Anakin and Obi, Obi-I is short for Obi-1, what is Luke short for? I don't know.

What is Luke short for? A storm trooper? See, oh yeah, you got it, you got it. May the fourth be with you or the force or whatever you want to say.
