Blaze Radio Network.
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
How does something like this happen?
This past weekend at Chicago O'Hare International Airport,
they had a bit of what they called a security scare.
A door-dash driver was en route to his destination
when he accidentally drove into an unauthorized secured area within the airport.
Now, there's plenty of rules.
at the airport, these drop-off areas, and the delivery person entered this area before a worker
realized, hey, I don't think that guy's supposed to be here. So according to reports, the driver drove
miles along the interior and restricted roads at the airport, possibly even crossed runways
before someone in the air traffic control tower saw him. So which is it? Did someone at the gate say,
hey, hey, what's that guy supposed to do? I don't want to call anyone, but so I'll just let him be.
And then the air traffic control tower said, hey, what's going on? Why is this vehicle out there?
Now, the police claimed that this was an accidental trespasser. He was a 36-year-old man,
working as a delivery driver. And after conducting the preliminary investigation, they believed the actions were simply a mistake.
No charges or citations were filed against the door-dash drive.
What? Okay. Come on now. I will just say, I'd like to know first how that actually happened. Is that actually true?
That this guy just drove through the gate by accident and no one saw it, no security, except for one guy that said, I don't think that guy's supposed to be here.
But then he had plenty of time to drive all around these restricted roads, possibly across runways, until someone in the air traffic control tower,
said, hey, what's that car doing down there?
It's not supposed to be down there.
And it was just an accident?
Okay.
All right.
You know what?
Fine.
Now, I'd like to know, and I did not see any reports telling me, you know, who specifically
this 36-year-old ban was.
I did not see any reports saying, hey, where the door dash was supposed to be delivered
to.
Nothing like that.
It was just a, we're supposed to believe it's an accident.
at O'Hare International Airport.
Okay, don't we have enough problems at airports these days?
Now we have this issue going on.
Something needs to be done.
I don't know, maybe we up the security a little bit.
Maybe we make sure.
I can tell you there are plenty of times when I have traveled to airports
and when you fly, I've flown private and I've flown domestic
and the security seems to be very good.
Now, I guess that security has gone downhill a little bit when a presumed door dash driver can just roll into the airport, past the restricted gates, and drive around the airport and the tarmac without being noticed.
Okay, okay, you got me.
It was just an accident.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Keep your head up.
Keep your eyes open.
We still have six inmates that broke out of the New Orleans jail on the run.
Four have been captured.
So we still have six out there on the run.
Pretty incredible.
They believe that most of them are in the New Orleans area,
but they have no idea.
It could be anywhere, actually.
They're on the run.
These guys are, you know, Germain Donald and Ent and,
Massey and Leo Tate, Lenton Van Buren, Derek Groes, and Corey Boyd.
Corey is the youngest one. He's 19, and Jermaine Donald is the oldest at 42.
So that's the age range in between those.
They have been charged with many, many, many crimes.
The last person or one of the last people that they apprehended was charged with seven
counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree battery,
aggravated assault with a firearm,
false imprisonment with a weapon,
domestic abuse, simple assault,
aggravated criminal damage to property,
and resisting an officer.
That's it, though.
Now, again, they've just been charged with that.
Have they been found guilty?
No, but they have been found guilty
of breaking out of a jail.
So, yesterday,
we were told
that it was $7,000
for tips leading to
the arrest of the inmates. Today, the story says 5,000. So which is it? I don't know the answer to that.
If you send in a tip and they get arrested, you know what? I'd ask for seven grand. And if they say
it's only five, I guess I don't know what else you could do. But somewhere between five and
seven thousand you'll get if your tip leads to the arrest of one of these inmates. Okay. So we don't
know where they're at, probably in the New Orleans area.
But again, we don't know.
One of the things that we do know or that we're assuming is that it's unlikely the inmates could have escaped without some kind of help.
So clearly the ball was dropped and there's no excuse for this.
Yeah, well, originally we heard that the one person who was supposed to be looking after the inmates had gone to get something to eat.
And so there was no one watching the inmates at the time of their jail break.
Okay.
So let's say you did.
You went to get something to eat.
You just walked away and no one else was there monitoring.
And it took hours, hours after you left to go get food and come back before you realized,
hey, nobody's in that jail cell.
We're missing a bunch of people.
Yeah, 10 of them to be exact.
And where were you?
I just went to get some food.
We can look back at the monitor and they reviewed the monitor.
And guess what?
That's when we realized that we had a prison.
Just incredible.
So if you're living in the, you know, Southwest,
I would keep my head up and my eyes open
because these are dangerous men.
I love the stories where they talk about,
well, the jail was only at 60% staffing,
and, you know, four supervisors,
36 staff members were monitoring 1,400 inmates.
Yeah, not these inmates.
These were not being monitored
because one of your 36 staff members
had dropped the ball by going to get something to eat
and not watching these prison inmates.
Just incredible.
I guess some employees have been placed on administrative leave
pending an outcome of the investigation.
Okay, I mean, good, but we'll see exactly what comes of that.
So keep your head on a swivel.
A couple more bad guys in the news.
Sean Diddy Combs, that trial is still ongoing.
his former personal assistant, David James, took the stand.
And James told the court that one comment stood out in his mind
when he thought back on the initial job interview process.
A female staff member at the time told him,
this is Mr. Combs' kingdom.
We're all here to serve it.
Yeah.
And they did.
We are in the third week of the trial.
Pretty incredible.
There's been some just amazing testimony.
We know, or at least we surmised what kind of a bad guy, Sean Diddy Combs is and was.
We saw, there were all kinds of talk about all the stuff that they found in the hotel room and, you know, the baby oils and the lubricants and the prescription medication and other drugs and other things that tested positive for ketamine and MDMA.
he and a lot of people around him
were doing a lot of different drugs.
So he's been charged with racketeering,
sex trafficking, and transportation
to engage in prostitution.
Now he has pleaded, not guilty,
on all five counts.
So we'll see how that works out for him.
It doesn't sound like it's going to end well
for Sean Diddy Combs.
And then you have Harvey Weinstein.
That trial is still ongoing.
That's never going to end either.
I mean, this guy is just incredible.
He's been convicted already of various sex crimes in New York and California.
And this case is ongoing because an appeals court found that the New York trial was tainted by prejudicial testimony.
Huh.
So this trial, he's charged with raping this lady and forcing oral sex with two other women separately in 2006.
Okay.
Now, he just gave an interview to Candace Owens.
Good for Candice for talking to Harvey Weinstein.
I would love to interview Harvey Weinstein.
Harvey, if you got nothing going on,
email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and we'll make it happen.
Okay.
Now, Candace has got, you can, you know, see the entire interview behind her paywall.
Good for Candace Owens on this.
But she sat down with Harvey in this tell-all interview.
Now, big surprise, he claims that he was wrongfully convicted.
I know, you never would have guessed it.
he describes his actions as merely mistakes and asserts he has done nothing illegal
now i have not seen this full interview yet but i will get to it i will talk about it after
i see the full interview uh harvey did say look i hurt my family i hurt my friends i cheated on my
wife and that was a mistake a terrible mistake but i did not commit these crimes i swear
that before God and the people watching now and on my family. Wow. Okay. Go easy, Harvey. Go easy.
Because, you know, I know you're swearing that stuff before God, but just so we're clear,
he does listen. So there's that. I mean, you know, speaking of, you know, God listening,
I want to take a minute to tell you about a new show that's taking spiritual warfare seriously,
and you probably need to hear it.

before he swears before God. Okay. Okay. Yesterday,
we found out that Scott Adams, who does coffee with Scott Adams, he created Dilbert, the comic strip.
I've talked to him on this program once or twice.
I don't know Scott, but I mean, I've talked to him a couple of times.
And he revealed yesterday that he has prostate cancer the same as Joe Biden.
And he said that he does not expect to live through this summer.
he said the disease is already intolerable.
He doesn't have good days.
He said he does his coffee with Scott Adams and then that's it.
People have kind of noticed that he's looked, you know, not well for quite some time now.
And he admitted to just, you know, using a walker for quite some time.
and that he was a big proponent of right to die laws in California.
So he, I'm guessing, when it becomes too intolerable for Scott,
that he will check out and he will do it, you know, legally.
He said he didn't want people to send medical advice.
He's been going through it.
It's really painful.
he's tried many things through other, through his medical people.
And he did try the ivermectin and I think it's remndisivir.
I'm not quite sure if that's exactly what he took.
But he said it didn't work for him.
Now, I listened to Pat Gray on Leash this morning and they had a caller on who said that it worked for them.
So obviously, you know, cancer is a horrible disease and it affects everyone's,
differently. We'll say this though.
You know, I know that
he said he wanted to, he's been
wanting to come out,
but he waited because
he didn't want to just become the guy with
cancer. And, you know,
once that's out, that's out.
That's what you are.
You know, the guy with cancer. So he wanted to get
through his stepdaughter's wedding. And he
went there were a few things that, you know, he's
getting his affairs in order.
And so,
I mean, bless his
heart my gosh i mean it'd be a wonderful thing if he could uh you know turn it around but it doesn't
sound like it's going to be turned around at all and he is uh already prepared it sounded like
to uh end it when it becomes intolerable so uh it's funny that he said i i did it after they announced
joe biden had prostate cancer because i thought okay you know Biden'll take all the heat and i can
come out and tell people I have prostate cancer the same thing that Joe Biden had.
And I'll just kind of be an underlying story.
I don't know that that is going to be true.
But I will say this.
That's interesting to me.
So he has the same cancer, prostate cancer that Joe Biden has.
Okay.
It's prostate cancer.
It's also spread to his bones.
he's talked about the other things that are wrong with him,
then the pain moves different places around his body every day,
and it's everything he has to do his coffee with Scott Adams,
and then he just kind of, you know, goes in and out of sleep
and tries to be as comfortable as possible the rest of the day.
And he'll say he's going to continue to do that as long as he can.
But this has been going on now for months.
months with Scott Adams.
So we're to believe that this diagnosis with Joe Biden just appeared.
Just appeared.
Okay, because I don't think it did.
I do not think it did.
I think we've been duped this whole time from Joe Biden.
I have no, only proof we have of that is the proof that he was having mental issues.
cognitive issues throughout his presidency that was, you know, absolutely documented on
darn near every show I was a part of for the Blaze television and radio network and Mojo
5-0 with Brad Staggs, who I do Saturday morning alive with.
I mean, that, his cognitive decline was absolutely documented.
And for these people to come out now and say, oh, we were duped.
We didn't see it.
We didn't know what you were talking about.
They hid it from us.
Okay.
No one.
And I mean, no one believes you.
You can say it until the end of time.
It's not true.
There's no way that you didn't notice it.
So my point is that absolutely Joe Biden has had this.
And this is not a new revelation.
It just didn't just happen.
And so I, you know, do I wish it on anyone?
Absolutely not.
Even Joe Biden.
I don't wish, uh,
prostate cancer on him. However, for them to pretend like this is just something new is completely
agonizing. And I don't know what can come of it. I don't know what you could do with the people who
knew and hid it from the American people. But we darn sure know that whatever they're saying
about not being aware of it is a lie. And on the Scott Adams front, I will,
You know, my gosh, Scott, thank you for, I've enjoyed your work,
and I will still catch your coffee with Scott Adams as often as I can
and enjoy your work until we can't enjoy it live any longer.
And so maybe, you know, maybe AI will come along before everyone checks out
and say, hey, we've got a cure, and everything will be perfect again.
But if that doesn't happen, then,
It will be a sad time.
And it already is kind of a sad time, which is exactly what Scott was talking about.
He really didn't want to have that be over his head as the guy with cancer.
But now he is.
All right.
Let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink.

So I was looking at the top movies
from this past weekend
because I'm concerned about Minecraft.
Oh, it's actually a Minecraft movie.
Because they have not reached a billion dollars yet.
What is happening with the Minecraft movie?
They're number four in the top ten this past weekend.
I think they've been out for almost two months.
5.9 million at the box office.
Globally, 928 million,
and they have not reached a billion dollars.
Kind of slowing down.
I mean, I know everyone's saying they're inching toward a billion,
but they were on a pace,
and that pace is falling way back.
So I don't know what that means,
but, you know, it means something.
It means they haven't got a billion dollars is what it means.
So number one is the final destination, bloodlines.
I don't know that I could mean.
make it through that one.
But it was number one at the box office.
51 million opening, opening weekend.
Pretty good.
This weekend's a big weekend for the movies.
We've got some monster movies coming out.
So these movies need to make their mark.
Because Tom Cruise is coming to town.
Mission Impossible.
The Final Reckoning.
And I guess Tom is going to be in the DFW area here in the next couple of days.
So if Tom wants to stop by chewing the fat, I'm here for you, Tom.
No problem.
You can just direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR.
I'm sure it's you that's running your account.
You can direct message me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, or Facebook Jeff Fisher Radio.
You can do that.
And you can email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com as well.
And, you know, I'll give you my number, Tom.
Yeah, that's going to happen.
So the second number two spot was Thunderbolt.
bolts and then sinners still hanging in there wow sinners is 316 million global with uh 240.8 domestic
pretty darn good i mean they're still pulling in 15 million at number three and then of course
we mentioned the Minecraft movie the accountant two uh with our boy you know jlo's ex uh he's that uh he pulled
in another five million he's got 59.1 million domestic who I don't know I guess that's okay
I guess it's okay.
Sure, I guess.
Then hurry up tomorrow.
That's a week.
That's a musical.
Okay.
Friendship, clown in a cornfield until dawn.
Then the amateur, the amateur is number 10.
The amateur is below clown in a cornfield.
Come on.
That looks so much better.
I can't wait to watch it.
I'm ready to watch the amateur.
I pulled in what, didn't even pull in a million.
712,000.
It's got 40 million.
domestic. I mean, holy cow, that movie should have been a lot more than that. So maybe it's not as good as
I think it is. I don't know. I got to see it. I just got to see it. I know I got an email from Lee
who talked about he sees movies at AMC every Tuesday. That's their discount day. He said he's a Stubbs member,
so he gets additional perks. I like that. So if they make Wednesday thing happen,
then I'll be seeing even more movies,
and theaters are practically empty in the afternoon as well.
I guess I need to do that,
because I would love that,
just to go and see a movie in the afternoon alone.
He said he saw the amateur and the accountant, too,
both on a Tuesday.
I do want to see them.
No question.
And so, you know, maybe I'll do that.
I've got to look into becoming a Stubbs member at the old AMC.
Although the closest theater to me is not an am.
AMC, it's a
Cine mark.
So, you know, I go there quite often.
Now, there's also, you know, the eateries around this area that are absolutely awesome that you go and kick your feet up and, you know, take a nap after you eat.
But that costs a million dollars.
As a Stubbs member, I'm guessing it's not a million dollars if you can go in the afternoon and get yourself.
See, that's the thing.
Though, you got a deal with the Stubbs.
I hope some of the perks.
I'm going to have to look into it.
I hope some of the perks are.
you know, drinks and stuff like that.
Because I don't know if Cynemark has this kind of deal.
I have to find out because that's not a bad idea.
I mean, all the superstars are at Cannes now,
and they're showing their movies,
and I saw Danzel there, and I saw,
oh, what's his face?
Eddington, I think it's what it's called?
Ellington? Eddington?
Yeah, Eddington.
Because Pedro Pascal is in it and Emma Stone
and Joaquin, Phoenix.
And it's about, you know, the pandemic
and this town in New Mexico.
Mexico. It's going to be great.
Isn't it? I'm looking forward to it.
Not really. But the new Danzel
movie, maybe, Spike Lee.
I saw him, I saw a Danzel hollering
at some people in the press corps
as he was making his walk there.
It was awesome. Danzel was
unhappy about people trying to grab him
and pull him in. He did not like it at all.
And then I saw
where lethal weapon, lethal
weapon, I guess we
talked about them
redoing. I
sorry, not redoing, making another installment of lethal weapon?
Yeah, I think we have, because now it's coming back to me that I talked about what they
were going to do for a lethal weapon.
Are they going to be called out of a nursing home to become the cops?
Yes, we have talked about it.
Because I just saw an interview, and I didn't listen to it yet, with Mel Gibson, who is 69 now,
and Danny Glover, who is 78 now, and they're making a fifth installment of lethal weapon.
I'm not sure what that will bring us.
I just don't know what that will bring us.
But they apparently were together at a fan expo in Philadelphia,
and they talked about the long-delayed fifth lethal weapon.
Yeah, you might want to just, I don't know, delay it forever.
Because, I mean, the first movie, Danny Glover told us he was too old for this.
And apparently that wasn't true,
Because we've gone, now we've gone through four,
and now we're going to go through number five.
Wow.
Incredible.
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.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love,
brushes too, and hustled all those wishless topping toys.
So plush.
Our buyers have got you covered.
Marshals, we get the deals.
You gift the good stuff.
Who died today?
Who died today?
Well, let's begin with Latanya Patain.
Latanya Patain, dead at the age of 40.
And if you're asking herself, I'm not quite sure I know who Latanya Patain is.
Well, she became a quasi-star because she appeared on season 11 of My 600-pound Life.
And so she died at the age of 40 because she was overweight.
Yeah, she had congestive heart failure.
She was on My 600-pound Life.
And if you have seen that show, it is remarkable.
No question.
And Dr. No, the guy who is the doc that everybody goes to, the anti-fat doc,
he ended up kicking her out because he said he could no longer help her because she wouldn't stay on track.
She said, I can't.
The eating helps me and I know it's bad for me, but I can't.
And she said about a year, I don't know, not too long ago, after she left 600 pound life,
she said that pray for me, my health battle is ongoing.
the doctors in Louisiana.
Apparently, we're trying to help her stay on track,
but the weight loss program did not work.
I guess she hired a trainer, that's what she said,
and at the time during my 600-pound life
and tried to eat right, because Dr. No, and that guy,
Yonan Noazidun, he does not mess around.
My man does not mess around.
And if you can't keep on track to reach a certain goal,
he's not going to give you surgery,
and you're not hanging out.
on the show any longer.
Get out.
I'm sorry.
Look what you've done to yourself.
But it's get out.
Now, some people do, and they make it.
And that is so great for them.
And others don't.
And so rest in peace to Latanya Potain.
I think that's how you say your last name.
P-O-T-A-I-N.
Dead at the age of 40.
I have not watched my 600-pound life in quite some time.
because I used to watch it to make myself feel better.
But it's so sad and heartbreaking.
It really is.
I used to joke around about, you know,
being my goal to reach 600 pounds.
But between you and me,
it is not my goal.
Okay, I've always been overweight, no question.
But I have not been that.
I have not been that.
And several others,
I mean, so many others from my 600 pound life
have passed away already
because of their struggles with their work.
wait, it's really,
it's really sad.
Okay, so let's move on.
Greg Canem.
Greg Canem, dead at the age of 73.
Greg Canem was the Oscar-winning makeup innovator
who turned Brad Pitt into Benjamin Button.
Yeah, you remember that.
Of course you did.
He dies at 73.
He's a five-time Oscar-winning makeup and prosthetics artist.
Amazing.
He did Mrs. Doubtfire.
He did Benjamin Button
Some of the other ones
He did Michael Jackson's thriller
He did the incredible melting man
I mean the guy was just awesome as far as that goes
Now the family has set up a GoFundMe page
Because the expenses that he experienced
The last few years have been pretty extensive
He had severe shingles
A staff infection
Septus and heart failure
He was not in good shape
So rest in peace to Greg Canem dead at the age of 73.

I forgot about mentioning this yesterday,
but the New Jersey Transit engineers,
the locomotive engineers and trainmen said that the strike was off.
They took yesterday off,
so people still had to kind of scurry a little bit to get into the city
and wherever they were going to go with New Jersey Transit.
But they worked out a deal.
They didn't tell us,
what the deal was yet.
Interesting.
But they called off the strike.
And so if you're in the Northeast,
and you were thinking that you were going to get to stay home for an unlimited amount of time
because you couldn't find a way into work as you go into Manhattan every day,
it's wrong.
They are back up and running.
So good for them.
Good for them.
I mean, I don't know what they're going to pay and what they're going to work out.
But, you know, that's what everyone wants is more money, right?
You want more money, I want more money, and they want more money.
Can they afford to pay these people more money?
Well, we'll see, won't we?
We'll see.
Because the only way to get them more money is to get more money from you and me.
And when they get more money from you and me, maybe we decide that we aren't going to use their product anymore.
And then now you're talking about, well, we can't afford to pay you.
So it's kind of a double-edged sword.
and I don't know how far that sword is in the body right now,
but we are all feeling the pain of that blade as we speak.
And speaking of feeling the pain of that blade,
Los Angeles has approved $30 minimum wage for airport and hotel workers.
Who's going to pay for that?
Is it going to be them?
I guarantee you that.
It's going to be you and me.
Well, you know, especially the people in California.
So $30.
an hour minimum wage hike for the airport and hotel workers,
which will be enacted by 2028 in time for the Olympics.
So the city council members approved the measure 12 to 3,
well, those bastard three negative voters,
while union officials praised the approval,
uh-huh,
those working in the hospitality industry vigorously opposed the legislation
and warned that the pay increase could result in mass layoffs.
Uh, yeah.
And it's going to cause,
increased cost for consumers?
Yeah.
And will hotel shut down?
Well, not till after the Olympics.
We're good.
We've talked about this before.
Yeah.
This is not going to affect any of these businesses
until after the Olympics.
The government, no matter what,
will keep all these places open
and they'll keep everybody happy
until the Olympics are over.
And then once the Olympics leave,
have a nice day.
Ghost town.
Yep.
We're paying you $100 an hour,
except we don't have any business to open and pay you that.
But if you were to work, you'd be making a lot of money.
I don't know how California is going to afford to keep it going
and to keep everything up and running
and to make new things that they're going to need for the Olympics,
but apparently they're going to do it.
But so after July,
I think the Olympics are in 2028, the end of July.
I think that's when the Olympics are.
I think after that,
A ghost town.
Have a nice day.
We can't afford to pay anything any longer.
Wow.
We'll just,
it's going to be,
it's going to be incredible.
But hey,
you're going to be able to,
the minimum wage is the minimum wage,
but you won't have any work.
So there's that.

You know, I think I may add like a murder of the day story
because there's a couple of murder stories that I read this morning.
that are just amazing.
And I, you know,
they're deep stories,
but I love them.
So this executive,
and, you know,
sadly,
someone died,
you know,
it's a murder story.
It's a murder story.
But I love them.
So this executive at Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company,
who was in Europe,
he was the president
of the Europe,
Middle East,
and Africa region.
at Akron, Ohio-based Goodyear.
Wow, I mean, that's a good gig.
He was promoted after 2017.
He now is no longer employed at the tire maker.
Okay.
So he is in Europe doing his gig for Goodyear
and has an affair with his executive assistant.
Okay?
And that always ends well.
Always.
Okay.
So she no longer works for her.
for a good year.
And he ain't longer either,
but you'll know why in a moment.
So he has an affair with his executive assistant.
The executive assistant is charged with killing his wife.
It's amazing.
So then what's fascinating to me about the story is that the guy was on a trip and he comes home.
He comes home, finds his wife, Carmel Delaney, dead on the floor after having suffered
at least four stab wounds.
So the guy doesn't speak French.
I mean, that's good that he's working in Europe
and he don't speak any foreign languages,
but hey, he was working for good year.
But you know who speaks French?
His executive assistant.
So he calls her to have her call the police.
So then the police figure out some kind of botched burglary.
You know, there was some watches stolen.
And the surveillance cameras had captured someone in a mask,
entering the building shortly before Carmel arrived home that evening.
There was no indication to forced entry, and the watches were missing.
And so two days after she was buried in New York, they flew her back home.
The Belgian police arrested this lady.
During the course of their investigation, authorities discovered that, yeah, you know,
the guy and his executive assistant both married were having an affair with each other.
and apparently the executive assistant did not like that one little bit.
So she had been stabbed four times.
And they, in the case, someone came forward with concerns because of a conversation they had with her.
So she was busy telling someone about what she had done.
And they went to the police.
It goes back to tell no one.
I don't want people to walk free from murder,
but man, if you commit a crime,
what do you open it in your mouth for?
Acting on a tip to police then searched her home
and a nearby horse stable where she kept two horses.
In the shed, they found the missing watches.
So she didn't even get rid of them.
She put them behind some wall in a shed.
Wow.
Now, the husband has just been questioned.
He has not, as a witness, he's not been charged.
they don't believe he had anything to do with it at all.
He believes that she was out of her mind as the executive assistant and wanted the wife gone
so she could have him.
So they're both gone.
No severance, no nothing.
And the good year's like, yeah, we're declining to comment.
They're no longer our employer, a good year.
And so take care.
Just amazing.
Oh, what a wicked web we weave when first we try to deceive.
Now, look, affairs happen.
I know that sometimes, I mean, he's working, he's busy, he's with his executive assistant every day, and he does not with the wife.
And she was working, too, I believe.
I'm not sure what she was doing.
They met when they worked at Proctor and Gamble.
She had a marketing career.
She was working in Europe and the Middle East as well.
So, you know, she was doing her job.
So, you know, sometimes things happen.
You can quote me on that.
Sometimes things happen.
I get it.
But, wow, when you, I mean, that is real life fatal attraction.
So this is going to be turned into a movie.
I don't know who's going to make money of it.
Maybe the husband needs to do that.
Write this screenplay as we speak because you're out of a gig.
And I know you were making, I don't know, let's say,
I said, I think $5 million a year for that job, which seems a little low.
If you're working as this VP of in Europe and the middle,
East for Good Year and you're making five million a year?
I mean, would I do it for $5 million a year?
I don't know.
I don't know if I would.
They may have to pay me a little bit more than that.
But I mean, he's all, he's working.
His title was president of the Europe, Middle East and Africa region for good year.
It would seem to me that it's worth more than $5 million a year.
But, you know, I would say get writing, get writing that screenplay right now.
I know it'll be hard.
You'll have to work through some tears, but in the end, you'll have a film, and you'll get some money from that.
So, he'll be okay.
I mean, this guy is done, right?
He's got no job.
He's got no wife, and he's got no mistress.
It's all the way.
It's not funny at all.
And yet, I mean, this guy is screwed all because he couldn't stop himself from taking care of a little business with the executive assistant.
The whole thing really is sad.
I mean, she is now gone, murdered.
She, you know, had her husband and their four children and her family.
His family, I mean, the whole thing is just shattered.
And it's all started because, you know, hubby, dad, son-in-law, son had an affair.
And the affair went wrong.
It's just sad, really.
The whole thing is sad.
I didn't see that apparently they're having a memorial service in Brussels for her
because they took her back to the U.S. and buried her there.
In the story, it talks about one of the online tribute pages.
One mourner shared this Irish epitap, which I love.
Death leaves a heartache, no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory.
No one can steal.
I love that.
Now, was that written by the girlfriend?
I don't know.
See, I got to stop.
I got to stop.
Okay, let's do the joke of the day.
I can do a real joke or I can do one that it should be a joke.
Charter Communications and Cox Communications,
two of the largest cable companies in the U.S. have agreed to merge.
That's good for all of us, right?
Of course it is.
Charter Communications and Cox Communications are Charter Communications, the first.
Cox Communications is eighth largest cable provider in the U.S.
21.9 billion in equity, 12.6 billion in debt.
The thing that makes this, you know, kind of a joke to me,
is that they go on to say here that,
and I don't know what else they can say,
that this deal is good for America.
And it will return jobs from overseas
and create new good-paying customer service and sales careers.
My question of that is, will it?
Okay, if you say so, then we're happy with it.
But we couldn't have a couple of big airlines merge,
but we can now have these two cable companies merge,
and that's always good, always good,
when you have less competition for the American public.
Isn't it?
See what I mean?
It's kind of the joke of the day.
