The headline, airport imposes hug time limit. And then I think, wait, what? Yeah, well, the headline actually says airport imposes hug time limit. Suggests moving PDA to parking lot. This is Dunedin International Airport in New Zealand, and they have the sign Max Hugtime. and for Fonder Farewells, get a room. No, it says, please use the car park. So they put a time, and when you read the headline, I'm thinking, no way, stop it,

but we're not going to impose a hug time limit when you're seeing people off at the airport. However, the max hug time is three minutes. If you are hugging someone longer than three minutes, as you're saying goodbye to them, that's too long. The airport is right. Okay, I'm with them 100%. Keep it moving. Let's go.

Apparently, during peak hours, there's the slowing down traffic and we're getting gridlock. Yeah. No, we're not taking three minutes a hug time. You take their stuff out of the car, whatever luggage they have, and you give them a hug, maybe a kiss, maybe a little bit longer one.

I don't know. What? 10, 20, seconds, 30 seconds, tops, and then we're moving on. I don't blame them. If you are hugging someone for longer than three minutes, as you're saying goodbye to them, or saying hello to them, either way, at this international airport, I've done in New Zealand, it's arrival and departures. So if you're hugging, first of all, get out of the way. We've all got, we've got people to pick up. We've got people to drop off. Let's go.

but if you're hugging someone longer than three minutes, especially as they're departing, you definitely needed to stay in the hotel room and not take care of this little business transaction at the departure gate. Sorry, the airport is correct. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. For those of you that thought Sean Diddy Combs was going to get out of prison, I don't think that's going to happen.

he now faces seven new federal civil lawsuits, accusing him of sexual assault and rape, including one involving a then-13-year-old girl. In the lawsuit, Jane Doe, claims that Combs drugged and raped her at his MTV VMA's after party in 2000. She alleges that another male celebrity referred to in the lawsuit as Celebrity A also raped her at the party while female celebrity dubbed in the suit as Celebrity B, Celebrity A and Celebrity B definitely know who they are, watched.

And again, these are just accusations. It doesn't make them true. The other six lawsuits filed by four men and two women make similar allegations of sexual assault against Combs regarding incidents at parties between 2000 and 2020. Now, of course, Combs' lawyers have dismissed the new lawsuits. They're all filed by the same law firm, according to them, as a clear attempt to garner publicity.

Yeah? I mean, if you even went to, a Diddy Combs party? I would hop on the bandwagon. Now's the time. So Combs now faces more than 120 potential lawsuits, alleging sexual and physical abuse, as celebrities apparently distance themselves from him.

Yeah, because Celebrity A and Celebrity B and whatever letter you want to give them in the alphabet, celebrity, they know, do not start naming me. You keep me as celebrity A and B. That's fine. I know I'm celebrity, you know, D and E. I don't want my name out there. So we'll just see.

The 54-year-old has already pleaded not guilty to federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. And we'll go on trial in May. He is still being held without bail in a Brooklyn jail. And I'm positive as these lawsuits keep piling up while they are just accusations and nothing has been proven yet. he is not going anywhere. He will be in jail for quite some time. Oh, and I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the story did mention sexual assault, which apparently could be triggering.

So I'm reading this story about Sean Diddy Combs, and the beginning of the story, it says, The following story mentions sexual assault, which could be triggering to some readers. Come on now. Come on. As long as we're talking about trials, the jury selection began yesterday, if you're listing live today, is the 22nd of August, October.

22nd of October, 24. So yesterday would be the 21st. That's how those numbers work. Jury selection began yesterday for the trial of Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway train in May of 2023. I do not know how this case is still going to trial, but here we are.

So prosecutors alleged that the 24-year-old Penny recklessly caused the death of 30 years. We saw the video. I don't know. He was shouting and acting erratically. And Penny, along with two passengers, placed Neely in a chokehold for about six minutes. And then police officers arrived.

They felt a faint pulse. Administered the opioid overdose medication Narcan before performing CPR. He later, nearly later died at the hospital. Prosecutors say Penny's use of force was unjustifiable and reckless. The defense argues Penny acted to protect other passengers and only intended to hold nearly until police arrived not to kill him. Yeah. And what about the other two people? Have we charged them? Oh, no, just him? Oh, okay. Penny faces up to 15 years in prison, if convicted of second-degree

manslaughter and up to four years of negligent homicide. New York. Do better. Do better. Another trial that just began is the retrial of the former Louisville Kentucky officer Brett Hankison overcharges over charges related to the 2020 police raid that led to Brianna Taylor's death. Okay. This is the third trial for Hankison following the initial mistrial as well as the state trial in 2022 in which he was acquitted of multiple wanton endangerment charges. Okay. So now in this case, this particular trial, U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Jennings granted the prosecution's motion to exclude references to Hankison's prior court proceedings in the retrial.

Okay. And the judge denied the prosecution's request to introduce evidence of his prior alleged wrongdoing while employed as a Louisville police officer. All right. So he has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. So we'll see what happens in this retrial. trial, which is the, he's charged in a two-count indictment for deprivation of rights under the color of law, both are which civil rights offenses according to court documents. He was charged with willfully depriving Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker of their

constitutional right to be free from unreasonable seizures, which includes the right to be free from a police officer's use of unreasonable force during a seizure. Okay. I know, I mean, they, officers broke in or slammed the door down to, uh, have a warrant. And they were plain-clothes officers, and they were there to serve a warrant. And he was not at the resident,

but her current boyfriend, Walker, thought someone was breaking into the house and fired one shot from a 9-millimeter pistol at the officers. Three officers opened fire, shooting 32 bullets into the apartment, several of which struck Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, who was in bed at the time.

Very sad. Hankison fired 10, rounds, none of which hit anyone. He was fired for violating department procedure when he wantonly and blindly fired into the apartment. Several of the rounds entered a neighboring apartment where a man, child, and pregnant women were living, according to prosecutors. The neighbors were all sleeping at the time of the shooting with the prosecutors. So, wait a minute.

He was fired for blatantly, I'm sorry, wantonly, blindly, blindly fired into the apartment. But he fired 10 rounds. None of his rounds hit anyone. How is this guy? That's why they continue to find him not guilty or have a mistrial. Wow. The other two officers involved in the raid were not charged in the incident. How?

Of course, it's a tragedy. And the two officers were justified in their use of force. I mean, if they're breaking in, if they're entering to serve a warrant. And of course you're scared. They absolutely are raven. ready for a firefight. I don't necessarily disagree with that. However, while this guy is a knee-jerk police officer and was overstepping his bounds, his weapon didn't shoot or kill anyone. So,

and he lost his job. So I realized that Brianna lost her life and that nothing can be done to bring that back. And we know now that the Louisville Police Department has been a nightmare police department. I don't know how many police chiefs they've gone. gone through and they these officers have been running rampant over Louisville for quite some time. Maybe we need to direct our anger at the entire police force, not just one guy, but maybe, you know, you start at the one guy and you build on that. So we'll see. We'll see you.

Any time in life that you have to make a big change, it's hard. Especially true when you're planning to buy or sell a home. It's really complicated. It takes a lot of time, a lot of jumping through hoops, and of course the stakes are just about as high as they have ever been in terms of financial decisions that we have to make. So obviously, you need a real estate agent to help you with all of this. But what you don't want is just some ordinary agent who does this on the side. You want the best. You want real estate agents I trust.

Yes, that's correct. The name pretty much says it all. Real estate agents I trust are going to pair you with the top selling real estate agent in your area. someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a leader, someone who is a closer,

and most importantly, someone you can trust. So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I mean. Real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com.

If you don't have an Aldi grocery store in your neighborhood, maybe you need to move. get a hold of real estate agents I trust. Aldi is unveiling its lowest-priced Thanksgiving spread in five years. They say that they're taking a page from the recent playbook of the fast food chains, offering $5 value meals to entice-price-sensitive Americans. So Aldi has announced its inflation-busting holiday meal for 10 at the cost of $47.

or $4.70 a person. So all these Turkey Day Fair runs about two bucks less than an offer by those bastards over there at Walmart. U.S. inflation in September hit the lowest point since February 2021. Did it, though. I feel like, okay, maybe, you know, whatever, whatever. They keep trying to tell me that the economy is booming and I don't necessarily believe it. But, okay. I mean, I know the gas prices are lower.

I'll give you that. I don't necessarily think anything in the grocery stores are cheaper, but all right, fine. So anyway, people are not buying as much at the grocery store and they're buying brand name items rather than private labels. Now, back to Aldi. Their Thanksgiving meal follows a traditional menu that includes a butterball turkey with spices, gravy, rolls, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, and ingredients for cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and a pumpkin pie. Okay, then, for 50 bucks. Just under 50 bucks. That's right, Jeff. It was $47. I got it. Okay. So Aldi is all fired up. This is their deal.

So the prices cited by Aldi assumes a 16-pound turkey and availability depends on store-lover. So you might walk out of there with a 14-pound turkey or a 13-pound turkey, and if it's a 17-pound turkey, the deal isn't going to happen. I don't think. I don't know. I don't know the answer to that question. So I'm guessing Butterball has given them, you know, a million 16-pound turkeys, and they're going to be, you know, once those are gone, the availability.

Sorry about it. So we'll see. In 2023, a 16-pound frozen turkey, average 2735, and I accounted for 45. and I accounted for 45% of the cost of Thanksgiving feast for 10, which costs $61.17. So according to the annual survey by American Farm Bureau Federation, which I love the American Farm Bureau Federation. So new findings will be released next month.

So we'll see that that 61.17 is probably going to be a lot more than that when they release their new findings. But Aldi said, we don't care. We're giving you all these items for $47 and $50. Actually, it's not $0.50. It's just $47, period. So that's only $4.70 a person. They'd asked me, I'd added the $0.50, but no, they want to make it a good deal.

So there you go. If you're short on cash and want to feed a family of 10 Thanksgiving dinner, you could do it for under $50, $47, by getting the Thanksgiving deal at Aldi. So that's, that's, it's pretty sweet. A&W ice cream Sunday, root beer is coming in 2025. Now, I, I read this and I thought, ANW. Ice Cream Sunday, root beer. Why hasn't that been done already? What is A&W. D. doing, sleeping on their hands, and we're not creating anything, what's going on? So you get A&W ice cream Sunday, and you get A&W ice cream Sunday, zero sugar.

They're coming in cans and bottles, and it's coming out next year. It's a pretty good idea. I will say I just had the root beer float ice cream from Bluebell, and it's pretty good. It's pretty darn good. I don't know why it showed up in my freezer, but there it was. And I said, hey, it's in my freezer. I'm having some. And I did.

And it was pretty darn good. So I'm betting that the A&W ice cream Sunday root beer, zero sugar, of course, is going to taste pretty darn good. Speaking of tasting good, I used to love going to TGI Fridays. I don't know what happened to them. I don't know why I haven't been to one in a while. Maybe because they're closing, Jeff. Oh, okay. I've had this story for about a week now and I haven't gotten to it.

But apparently TGI Fridays is just quietly closing locations. Wow. Okay. So the popular casual dining chain is the latest to struggle as Americans are frustrated with higher menu costs opt to eat at home more. Other chains, including red lobster, applebees, and hooters have also closed location. Yeah, I think people are, I mean, there's still restaurants that are doing well. I mean, my son works at a Buffalo Wild Wings, my youngest son, and that place cranks. I am amazed how much business that store does. It's just a business. It's just a big man. amazing. So maybe it's just that one store. I don't know. And I've, you know, I've been to the TGI Fridays at a couple of airports and, uh, the one in Manhattan. But I guess they're closing. They've closed them in Virginia and Pennsylvania and Poughkeepsie and Clifton Park and New York and Connecticut. So I guess people aren't going to TGI Fridays anymore. There was something at the TGI Fridays I used to get all the time. And it was so good. And I remember, I remember, I would, if I

I saw the menu I would remember what it was. And I remember getting it at, I think it was the New York store, the New York location in Manhattan when we were in New York. So this was, you know, a long time ago now. And I remember thinking, ooh, that is not good. Whoever did it, they cooked it wrong or they just don't make it like that anymore. So just know, if you're looking, if you're driving around and you know, you know, let's go to TGI Fridays. And you're driving around and you just. can't find one. Well, that's because

they're closing down. And they're trying to stay afloat. I don't even know how many, does it say here, how many stores they have left? Yeah, only 200. Well, it says barely has more than 200, so what, 202? So they have a little over 200

stores left in America. Wow. When they used to be, there was a lot more than that. I don't know what their peak was. Well, yes, I do, because it says right here. They had 600 plus stores as of June 2023. And as of this story, 233.

So I've been probably less than that now. But it is just over 200 stores left in, you know, worldwide. I guess they're worldwide, except for sub-Saharan Africa, apparently. They never had a store in sub-Saharan Africa, you bastards. And it's based right here in Dallas, Texas. USA. So let's go, TGI Fridays. Let's pick up the pace a little bit, will you? I mean, the one in Manhattan was the very first one. That's awesome. Now I'm reading about TGI Fridays. So the guy, Alan Stillman, who opened the first TGI Fridays, according to Wikipedia, so it's got to be true,

said he lived in 63rd Street between First and York Avenues in a neighborhood with many airline stewardess, fashion models, secretaries, and other young single people on the east side of Manhattan near the Queensboro Bridge. He hoped that opening a bar would help him meet women. He was hoping he opened up TGI Fridays for a little business. Apparently it worked. That's awesome. So, it paid off quite well. That's awesome. He said he borrowed the money from his mom and this is where we're at today. So thank God it's Friday. TGI Fridays, baby. And Alan Stillman, good for you, the founder of TGI Fridays. Except I'm a little pissed. that there's no TGI Fridays in the sub-Saharan Africa? What are the people in sub-Saharan Africa going to do?

And have they been doing without a TGI Friday's? All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

well I see where Pizza Hut is now going to going to celebrate national pizza month. Is that, is that been going on? Is that this month? So today and tomorrow, is, is this month national pizza month? Yes, it is. How am I not aware of this is national pizza month?

So, and I've actually had some pizzas this month, which is kind of rare. Anyway, celebrating National Pizza Month, Pizza Hut, they're doing a new pop-up restaurant in New York City. So this is just happening in New York, for those of you listening in New York. here you go. Today and tomorrow, as I said, today, if you're listening live, is the 22nd of October, 2024. So today and tomorrow, Pizza Hut's going to open a one-of-a-kind, single-person dine-in location. I'm that's kind of dumb. At 50th and Center Boulevard in Astoria, Queens.

That's over there by coming to America land. This reservation only spot will be, only be open for two days, giving pizza lovers the chance to customize their own personal pan pizza. with new toppings and then reservations are available on a first come first served basis. They've already accepted or started to take reservations a couple of days ago. Then there's a wait list option as well. This marks Pizza Hut's smallest and first ever reservation only concept yet because it's dumb. If you're not going to do it all over the country, just going to do it in one spot. Okay, all right, fine.

I guess fine. I guess their chief marketing officer, Melissa Freebie, F-R-I-E-B-E, if that's pronounced Freebie or whatever it's pronounced. I apologize if I pronounced it wrong. Now, this unique experience fuses the nostalgia of Pizza Hut's fan favorite offering with an Instagram-worthy, innovative dining event. See, that's what they want. The Pizza Hut's chief marketing officer,

well, they could just take Instagram photos of our little Pizza Hut building, or a little pop-up with their personal pan pizza. Okay, all right. Good luck. Have fun. They are also celebrating the 40th anniversary of its, I guess, their book-it reading program from Pizza Hut. They're giving away one million free personal pan pizzas throughout October, because it is National Pizza Month, duh, or until the million prizes are redeemed.

So they're giving away a million. free personal pan pizzas. I don't know if they've given away the million personal pan pizzas yet or not. To claim the offer, customers must make an $8 purchase and use the promo code, book it 40 when ordering online. Okay, so that means I make an $8 purchase and use the promo code, book at 40. And then I get what? educational outreach booket program has been a cornerstone of pizza that's educational

program to date one point five minutes given in the years the past 11 years 56 million pizzas have been distributed the program also supports schools providing free discounted books and educators particularly those in 101 schools so if I use book it I guess they guess give me the pizza and that money goes to the bucket program I guess that doesn't say that here but to claim the offer I'll see the deal which honors both national book month the success of reading initiative is available to all ages the claim to offer a customer's might make an $8 purchase use the promo code book it so yeah i guess that's it you use the promo code book at 40 and you get the pizza okay well enjoy it good luck god bless maybe they've given the million pizzas out already i don't know

that i mean it's the 22nd i mean we've already we're we're almost over national pizza month is almost over i'm just finding out about it now apparently uh the chief marketing officer has not done a good job because I just became aware of this. So, I know, maybe it's just me. Okay, so I saw a quick blurb about Al Pacino's new memoir, Sunny Boy. I'm going to have to find it and read it because the blurb about his memoir, Sunny Boy.

One of the blurbs is about him making and wasting a lot of money in his career. Yeah. It was reported that it was mentioned in his book, some transactions that weren't smart at all, including paying his landscaper 400,000 a year to maintain a home he didn't live in. That's a good gig. And unknowingly paying for 16 cars and 23 cell phones. Yes, you read that right, and you heard me correctly.

Unknowingly paying for 16 cars and 23 cell phones. That's when you know, is that at some point you've made. too much money. So the Godfather Star wrote that he got his financial act together in his 70s. I mean, he's 84 now. So that's not that long ago. So he's lost a lot of money. Terrible with money. But, you know, he's Al Pacino and you can do what you want with your money. That's the whole point. That's why this is America. You do you, boo or Al. And maybe he's stop having kids. you're 80

and you all have to pay more money out that's possible I mean you just had a kid with his girlfriend right how old is that baby now two three no 16 months I'm sorry I apologize the baby's other kid is only 16 months

he had Roman that he had with his girlfriend and they are even no longer together so he's not even he doesn't even live with her or the kid. He said in an interview as he was promoting Sunny Boy, the memoir, he said he co-parents with Neur, and he's found a few things that they can do together. Isn't that special? And he does text me from time to time, Pacino says of Roman. Yeah, I bet he does. I bet that 16-month-old

boy, Roman, does text you from time to time. He also says, we talk, I play the harmonica with him, and we have made this kind of contact, so it's fun. Well, isn't that special? So I haven't

watched the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony yet. I know it was on Disney Plus, so I'm sure it's up there. I saw the I was alerted with a, you know, with an alert that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was, you know, going to be Disney Plus.

But the induction ceremony happened this past weekend in, and here's a big surprise. It happened in Cleveland. I know. I know. It was amazing. I remember they decided that we've searched the world over, but we're going to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland right there for the induction ceremony.

Where's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Well, it's in Cleveland. Oh, okay. So anyway, Julia Roberts and Zendaya were there was a star-studded evening. Pop icon. Share was there. Ozzy Osbourne, Mary J. Blige, Dionne Warwick, cool in the gang.

Foreigner was inducted. You're welcome, foreigner. So, Dua Lippa was in. The one picture that I saw of Cher and Dua Lepa, holy cow, Cher looked like a caricature of herself, and that's actually

kind of what she's become. She didn't look that bad because the camera was up too close. They keep the camera back like they did at the Victoria Secrets party. Then she still looks great. But you're up close?

Oh boy. Oh boy. I mean, she is definitely in clown face. I see where Sammy Hager introduced the foreigner, which I found really funny, because he thanked fans for their tenacity

to demand inclusion. Yeah, that would be us here on the Blaze. Pat Gray Unleashed, Keith Malinacca, Jeff Fisher, and Chris Cruz in particular for specifically Pat Gray was a big proponent of this for many, many years. And then we had the guy on from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

We made our case and then the next year they were inducted. So it was thanks to us. Anyway, I guess, let's see, we had Hager said that Foreign are currently tours without any original members. He makes the sale that that's how good. the songs are. Yep, you're right. And Demi Lovato and Slash joined the touring foreigner for Feels Like the first time. And then Hager took the lead for hot-blooded. Kelly Clarkson

thrilled with a powerful, I want to know what love is. But the arena erupted when original singer Lou Graham joined in. And he, Lou has really been struggling too these past few years. So he showed up there for the induction, which was awesome. So I might have to go back and just kind of fast forward through the whole. whole, through the whole induction. And then, of course, they had their big in-memorium where they

did tributes to Chris Christopherson, Sissy Houston, David Sanborn, Liam Payne, Dave Matthews band performed Burning Down the House from the Talking Heads. David Sanborn, I love David Sanborn. I loved his work so much with

other bands and his solo work. Dave Chappelle helped inter-induct the tribe called Quest. Wow. Chappelle was there for that. Pretty cool. Anyway, so I might have to go back and check it out, but that's kind of the highlights of what happened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

induction ceremony. The 39th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this past Saturday. Who died today? Well, let's begin with Paul Deonano. Paul Deonano dead at the age of

66. And you're saying, Paul who? Paul Deonano. He was the original singer for Iron Maiden. Yes, the original singer for Iron Maiden. And then he had a really bad cocaine habit. And he said, I couldn't see my way through it. We had commitments, and he got the boot. He left.

Have a nice day. Now, he's still been a singer creating stuff forever, but he was on their first album, no problem and killers in 81 in 1980 and 81, before Bruce Dickerson replaced him. So Paul Deonano, the original Iron Maiden Singer. He could use that for a trivia question someday. Dead at the age of 66.

No word on the cause of death. So, I mean, could it be that? That's possible. I guess he's been in really poor health. And he's been doing shows in a wheelchair. And so... I mean, that's never a good sign. but you know whatever uh he's had commitments and he was still working and doing festivals and arena shows so

good for him he was still he was still the man and he did had all kinds of music and all kinds of bands and he had released he had just released a like a memoir thing what was it called i'm sorry it was a career retrospective album the book of the beast and it created uh featured highlights of his recordings since leaving iron maiden i was a long time ago and i doesn't see it say how long his cocaine habit went on after 1981, but obviously I'm sure that it did. Otherwise, he would already be dead because he said he was just going at it nonstop, 24 hours a day, every day. That never, never ends well. So rest in peace to the original Iron Maiden singer. Paul Dianano dead at the age of 66. Then we have Michael

Newman, Michael Newman, who played lifeguard Mike Newmie Newman on Baywatch, dead at the age of 68. I know, dry your eyes. Look, he passed away. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease like 18 years ago, and he's been touring with Michael J. Fox, and he's really been trying to, you know, raise money to find a cure for Parkinson's. That is such a horrible disease. I know we've talked about it before on this show. I mean, I have personal family members who have struggled with that disease.

It's just terrible. I don't wish that on anyone. And so he died from heart complications, which and was apparently surrounded by his family and friends. So died from heart complications. So I guess they're trying to say the heart complications came from the Parkinson's. So I don't know if he had anything to do with that. Don't look at me like that. Don't.

I don't know if it was that or not. They didn't say that. But he was part of the, you know, the Baywatch scene, baby with Hasselhoff and the rest of them. They were all there, hot and tan and ready to rock and roll. And so, you know, he was, wow, he was 50 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's so sad. That disease is just so horrible. So anyway, he believed that he was, you know, he was cherishing every day with his family and friends. And he was taking his life seriously.

and that's what he said. So he said he was in the docu-series of Baywatch that they just did, which I failed to watch and I apologize. Newman revealed that he took 10 medications a day while battling Parkinson's 10 medications a day. I mean, if I could do 10 medications a day on my hands. Then we have a person that wishes he had died. Maybe he, I mean, he's happy to be alive now.

But this Dutchman was hospitalized after inserting and I don't know when this happened because he's okay now. A Dutch man was hospitalized after inserting 15 hard-boiled eggs into his rectum. Rectum. Damn near killed him. Yeah. And then the... I will say that it says that he was under the influence of drugs.

Well, no kidding. Now, I must say, all the times, all the times in my life that I have been under the influence of alcohol and or drugs. I have never once thought to myself, you know what? I need to put hard boiled eggs up my butt. Not once. I know. I call me crazy. I have just never

I've done a lot of things. Don't get me started on what things I've done. But I've never done that. So he had severe abdominal pain. Yeah. Emergency surgery to remove the eggs, which had caused tears in his intestines.

Yeah. And apparently, despite the unusual nature of the situation, doctors were able to treat him. He made a full recovery without lasting complications, and he's good to go. By that, I mean, he's good to go. So, good for him. Why?

It would make you think that that would be okay. I don't know. I mean, I dare you. I dare you to put those eggs up your butt. Okay. I'm sorry, no. Go ahead, I lose. Yep, you're right.

I'm not going to do it. Boy, what a loser am I, right? So the NBA National Basketball Association gets underway tonight. Yay! I found that out, thanks to a halftime interview during a football game last night. I mean, I'm waiting for recaps, and I've got to listen to a basketball interview during half time of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the Baltimore Ravens last night. The Ravens defeated Tampa Bay.

And Tamabay had a couple of injuries that was going to really, really going to affect the rest of this season. They were doing so well. And I'm very sad to see Tampa Bay lose that game and lose the two players. I mean, Mike Evans and Godwin go down. And it's going to be a long season. And Godwin's out for the season. I mean, that injury was just terrible.

So anyway, I just know, yay, the NBA season starts. World Series N starts the end of the week. And then I see where Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy's upstart tech-infused golf league, the TGL, that's going to start in January. And the first team match broadcast on ESPN. So that, kind of looking forward to that. That might be interesting.

That might be fun to watch. And I see where Walt Disney Company is set to appoint outgoing CEO Bob Iger's successor. Wow. okay because they've been out of trouble I mean Iger keeps leaving and coming back and leaving and coming back and they can't find anybody so I guess they're going to give the gig to James

Gorman and he is from Morgan Stanley so this is the third time that they've tried to tag get with somebody replace Iger so James Gorbin will be the fourth board chair in three years oh wow

okay so not the I mean yeah okay as the entertainment company he buckles down on finding the next leader. We'll see. I know they've had a big problem trying to replace Bob Eiger. But Eager's run the ship, man. You can say what you want about Disney and a lot of what they has happened is a nightmare.

But it's been under Eiger. You know, they gave it to one of his underlings and tried to blame a lot of stuff on the underling. It was really Eiger. It was still, it was really his plans that were still in order. So the fight is still on. I guess there's four senior leaders. inside Disney that have been trying to fill the shoes and there's been a, you know,

behind the seed's fight. There was the proxy fight trying to get rid of Eiger and take over Disney. So there's still, there's still some fight going on. I guess, according to this, the Morgan Stanley veteran James Gorman has been tapped and he's going to take it over in 2026. Will that mean anything different for Disney? We shall see. We shall see.

You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now. People assume that I'm like this perfect. My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Alison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify.
