Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher It's come to our attention that Puerto Rico is now under attack I know
Starting point is 00:00:43 Puerto Rico is under attack Apparently Boa constrictors and pythons are running rampant in Puerto Rico So they're swallowing livestock pets and native birds in Puerto Rico. And we haven't had any reports of the boa constrictors or pythons
Starting point is 00:01:06 killing humans yet, but it could be happening. Locals apparently have tried to quell the snakes. Love. Water, big water, ocean water. Surrounding the great Puerto Rico. Beautiful this time of year. Except it's not because boa constrictors and pythons are surging over the island.
Starting point is 00:01:33 I know, it's dangerous. So, according to Alberto Arpulente Roland, a biologist at the University of Puerto Rico, and who doesn't love the University of Puerto Rico, he said it's very, very bad. We have a serious problem and a serious threat to the bird species of this island.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Well, I mean, are we going to start being able to send people in and go boa constrictor and python hunting? Be very quiet. We are hunting pythons. Yeah, now we're talking. We need to get the cameras down there. We need a live shot. This needs to be a reality show. Make some money for the, well, they're not a state.
Starting point is 00:02:28 They're just a territory of the United States. But make some money for them. and I want to see all these boa constrictors and pythons killed I want to see it I don't want to see any poisoning I don't want to see any glue traps I just want hunters walking around Norway
Starting point is 00:02:47 or not walking walking around Norway yeah walking around Puerto Rico just shooting them up that's awesome not for Puerto Rico though welcome welcome to chewing the fat Hey, so yesterday we talked about the fraud that's taking place in Memphis, Tennessee,
Starting point is 00:03:14 from Nassani Investments and Private Lending LLC, who is claiming that they have the rights to Graceland and that they're going to put it up for sale and auction all the stuff off. And they claim that they have... a signature from Lisa Marie Presley, where she borrowed money from them, $3.8 million. And for collateral, she gave Grace Land up for collateral. That's what they claim.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Now, the lady who is the notary, she claimed that she never met Lisa Marie, and that's not her stamp of notary. Okay. We'll see. Well, they went before the judge this morning in Memphis. And the judge has now put a temporary restraining order on the auction. He blocked the auction of Graceland. And the Shelby County Chancellor, Joe Day Jenkins, has issued a temporary injunction against the proposed auction that have been scheduled for tomorrow. Or no, today. No, today is Wednesday. Today is Wednesday. If you're listening live, 522, 24 Wednesday. Thank you. Thank you, Your Honor. Okay, easy, Your Honor.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Take it easy. I was scheduled for tomorrow. So the granddaughter, Riley Keo, had filed a lawsuit back, and they already put out a foreclosure sale notice of the 13-acre estate in Memphis. And so, no, no, no, no. They're saying that it's all a fraud, and Graceland belongs to me. It belongs to the Presley family. Now, I'm all four scams.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And I, you know, I get it. I get it. You want to try to, that's the whole squatting thing, right? You just take something over. And you have the paperwork. It's fake paperwork, but you have paperwork that says you own it. And you try to live there for free and take it over and sell what you can. But there are rules to fraud.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Okay? The rules are, don't be messing with the king. And don't be messing with Grace Lane. Okay, don't do it. And this judge obviously saw it that way as well. So we'll see what happens now in the future if this company shows up. I mean, everybody's been trying to get a hold of them, and they didn't show up.
Starting point is 00:05:47 They're not responded for anything. Their emails come back saying they'll be back tomorrow, but nobody ever answers anything. So we shall see what actually happens. We cannot allow some investments, Lending LLC company to defraud the king's family out of Graceland.
Starting point is 00:06:09 That just cannot happen. You know, another thing that happened that I don't believe it, but apparently it's true. You know, I talked about the kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and how, you know, when I got done to watch,
Starting point is 00:06:23 and I enjoyed it, I really did, it was fine. I loved the Planet of the Apes movies, and this is supposed to be a new start to another series, and it obviously ended where it can be a continuation on for at least one more, and they probably have two or three in mind for the next rounds of Planet of the Apes.
Starting point is 00:06:42 This latest one, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, shows it's about, I don't know, it says, I don't know how many generations later. So it's like 300 years after the death of Caesar, after the last, after war, all right, 300 years since war. and that's where we get started with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And Noah, the star of this particular movie, you would believe at least is the bloodline from Caesar.
Starting point is 00:07:17 That's what we want to find out. We have to make it. I talked about it, how he has to be more prevalent on screen, a stronger presence, and we have to find out that he is bloodline of Caesar. Somewhere along the line. You know, Caesar's great aunt had a kid
Starting point is 00:07:36 and he's, you know, the nephew 80 times removed, or whatever the case is. But he's got to have bloodline to Caesar. In fact, the one historian that we believe died in the movie, we have to bring him
Starting point is 00:07:52 back. The way he died, we can still make him alive for the next movie. We can still make him alive. Now, That having been said, and they killed off a number of people in this movie, but Noah, the main star, with the Eagle Tribe. Now I'm reading a story. The story gives a whole history of Planet of the Apes,
Starting point is 00:08:16 and I'm going through, and they're talking about the history of the franchises and where it stands with Caesar and how he was born and how he was raised and everything. We know all that. But it says here that the director, Wes Ball, confirmed that Noah isn't Caesar's descendant. What are we even talking about? I mean, that's just dumb. He has to be.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Caesar did have a family of his own in both human and ape form in the reboot trilogy, making it possible that his legacy lives on. So what? Noah's going to run into a cousin or someone who is the bloodline of Caesar? No. Noah had, I mean, we've made it. it so Noah is the bloodline of Caesar or should be anyway.
Starting point is 00:09:04 That's just, I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I just can't. I know you know these things, but apparently you don't. Wes, because the whole point is that Noah has to be bloodline to Caesar. That's just that's maddening to me. I know. I know it's me. I get it. I get it. But it's just maddening to me. That has to change. Maybe someone in the franchise could say uh west uh yeah maybe you just say you don't know what you're talking about and we went ahead and changed our mind okay uh Noah is uh bloodline to Caesar and that's the way it works okay good
Starting point is 00:09:42 okay good because we're bringing the historian back and the historian is going to tell the stories to Noah to increase his knowledge of what Caesar wanted and his vision for the world that is being forgotten and since you are we've looked into it now. Bloodline to Caesar. It's all you, baby. You have to lead the new way. There you go, Wes. I wrote it for you. You're welcome. Well, we know that the bird flu is back. Actually, maybe we should let the boa constrictors and the pythons kill some more birds in Puerto Rico so that we nix the bird flu a little bit more. But the CDC is warning that that could be the next pandemic in humans. At least 36 herds of cattle across nine different states have been infected
Starting point is 00:10:32 so far that we know of. And there are concerns that the virus is spilling over to farmworkers and veterinarians saying they're hearing about farm workers getting sick, but not wanting to be tested. Huh. Imagine that.

Those of you that wanted to become Instagram famous with the view of Mount Fuji behind you,
Starting point is 00:13:23 the tallest peak in Japan, yeah, you can't do that anymore. Japan is pissed at you, okay, for showing up to their country and taking pictures of their Mount Fuji. We've had enough, okay? We put up a black mesh barrier, eight feet by 65 feet. the town of Fukiwatchakukukiko
Starting point is 00:13:44 You can say that again Fuki Wachikiko erected a visual barrier I'm sure that's exactly how they pronounce it too by the way They've re-erected this visual barrier across the street from a convenience store that happens to have the iconic landmark
Starting point is 00:14:00 in the background So the photogenic vantage point is no more They want to stop the hordes of what they call hordes of traffic disrupting tourists. Those are the tourists. I'm sorry, disrupting tourists that have been pilgriming to pose with the snow-capped tip. Local authorities are also trying to prevent overcrowding on the mountain itself.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So the mesh barrier is separate from the overcrowding of the mountain because they're now charging people to ascend it and capping daily climbers on a popular trail. yeah, well, that's okay. I get that. That needs to happen. But you're going to stop people from taking pictures? Okay. You know what? I know your population is dwindling.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Maybe some people would decide to stay there and have some kids and create a tax base. Oh, no, never mind. We don't want that. You know all that money that we spent coming to your country? Yeah, never mind. We're not going to spend that money anymore. the picture, take down the mesh barrier right now. I'm boycotting Japan until they take down the black mesh barrier.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And I will say, the lot of it was starting to pick up the pace a little bit. Could be a good Memorial Day weekend. I know we were looking ahead. We got the big three-day weekend coming up. But tonight, Powerball, $100 million. We've broken, we're into the 100 millions now. Nobody's won in quite some time. So tonight, like I said, today is the 22nd of May, 24.
Starting point is 00:15:45 The Powerball drawing is tonight $100 million. $47.0 million is the cash payout. Now, mega millions, that drawing is Friday. Headed into the Memorial Day weekend. Wouldn't it be nice? Let's take a moment and think. Oh, it's Friday night, getting ready to have a three-day weekend. and I just won $453 million jackpot with the mega-million.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Yes, I will take the $211.3 million cash payout. Please, thank you, yes. Let's take a moment and think about that for just a second. Would you take the $47 million from the $100 million tonight, Jeff? Well, yeah. But would you rather have the $211.3 million cash payout from mega-millions? Well, yeah. Maybe that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I can't decide which one I want to win. That's why I don't win one. Okay, I'm going to decide later. Let's go to the break room. I've decided tonight I want to win the $100 million. Then when it comes to Friday, I want to win the $453 million. There you go, I've decided. Let's go to the break room.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I need something cold to drink desperately. All right, we've got some good news. and some sad news in the break room to start off with. So we might as well start with the sad news. Get that out of the way. Pixar has made the biggest staff cut in history. The Disney-owned animation studio laid off 14% of its workforce. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:28 175 employees. Well, that doesn't seem like that much. It's Pixar. It's part of an effort to cut costs and refocus on quality over quantity. Oh, uh, interesting. Bob Eiger, he's the CEO of the over Disney and, you know, all of their entities, uh, who hopes to shepherd the mouse house to its former glory after a period of turning out several underwhelming direct to streaming series and movies.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah, you think. So following, now we've got these layoffs, then Pixar plans to prioritize upcoming feature films like Inside Out 2 and Toy Story 5. I mean, those two movies should be great. Are they going to be great with 175 less employees? I hope so. I hope so. We also, and I will go to the good news, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And I've had this story in the fat pile for a couple of days, and I keep meaning to get to it. I've been excited about it, and I keep meaning to get to it. Victoria's Secret. has announced that they are officially going to return their fashion show this year. Yay! It's about freaking time.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It feels like forever. Thank you. Thank you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's great. That's great. Thank you. I mean, a five years, but five years, five years since the fashion show. I loved the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show.
Starting point is 00:19:07 My whole family, we used to watch it together. I have my Victoria's Secret Wings that I wear for the fashion show. Are you kidding me? I love it. And so they claim this week that they're coming back. And this fall, they're going to have a big show. They didn't give a date yet. They just said, stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:19:28 They said the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more. Stay tuned. There's always, and more. So stay tuned. Okay, so good. Now, I will say that the thing that makes me a tad nervous is that in one of the stories it talks about how, well, it will reflect who we are today. Ooh, that may not be good. That means that there may be some extra-sized, oversized wings on the runway.
Starting point is 00:20:02 But if it's, you know, the new guy came back and the audience was like, hey, enough with the fatties, okay? We got it. They're part of our world. But they don't have to be part of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. That's not what we're watching for. And they seem to have agreed to it. But then I see, well, then I see that line that says that it will reflect who we are today. That makes me a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:20:31 but will I still tune in in the fall? Yes, and will I let you know when the date is on Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? You bet. Will I tweet live or X live? I can't tweet live anymore. It's not even Twitter. Will I X live?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Will I post live on X during the fashion show? I'll post live on X during the fashion show. I'll X post during the fashion show. I think you know what I'm saying You know, speaking of Victoria's secrets, I didn't realize there were so many nudist beaches in the United States. Now, I know there were, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:14 there's nudist clubs and everything, but I see a story talking about the 12 best nudist beaches in the U.S. That's 12 best. That means there's more than 12. I mean, that's a lot. At least, you know, I would think so.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I didn't realize that there were 12 best nudist beaches. Any beach is a nudist beach, Jeff. All you have to do is take your clothes off. Don't be an idiot. Okay. All right. I know.
Starting point is 00:21:44 I know. So the number one, maybe should I start it at the go from 10 to 1? Let's scroll down here. We'll go from, now we'll get the top five. The top five nudist beaches in America because I think, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Number six. Number seven. Number eight 10 Because two Yeah Two of the top 12 Are in Texas
Starting point is 00:22:10 Now granted They're 10 and 12 So I mean There's There's hippie hollow Texas Free Love lives on in Austin Oh so that's not really I mean that's a beach
Starting point is 00:22:26 For a lake It's not the ocean There's 11 is Hawaii Copia Beach in Hawaii aptly known as
Starting point is 00:22:38 the secret beach and then number 12 is UFO Beach in Texas okay and that's on the Gulf actually that's a UFO beach on South Padre Island all right so I mean
Starting point is 00:22:53 those are the 10 11 and 12 okay number one though number one is Hallover Park It's not Hallover Park, it's Hallover Beach Park, Florida. Number one, nudist beach in the United States of America attracts more than 1.3 million visitors making it one of the most popular nudist beaches in the United States.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Nice. I have not been there, and I lived in Florida for a long time. It's in Miami Beach, not been there. I don't know if they kick you out if you're not nude. You know, they might have a blocked off area that you can only be nude in and you don't get to just walk through with your clothes on going, hey,
Starting point is 00:23:36 let's go look at some nudies, eh? If you're going to look at nudies, you got to be nudies, okay? That's my rule. Those are my rules. I don't know if they have it at the old haulover beach park in Florida.
Starting point is 00:23:53 If you've been, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'm very disappointed that I haven't been there. Another Hawaiian Beach, Little Beach, Hawaii, is the Hawaiian Beach fantasy without the bathing suits. It's just as beautiful, if not more so, when naked. So you get to drop your clothes, the beach is shaded by hillside trees. It doesn't say, though, that they have the nude bouncers there, kicking people off that show up with your clothes.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Take it in your clothes off? No, get out. Or maybe you slipped a guy a $100 bill and just. just walk the beach real quick just to catch the dudes. Usually, though, I will say, usually when you go to one of the nudist colonies, because I've been to the one nudist colony in Florida, and normally you're disappointed.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Normally you're disappointed. Because they're not what you're envisioning in your mind. You're envisioning in your mind the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. What you're getting is Grandma Hayes and Grandpa Jones drinking cocktails. So, I mean, that's, you know, that's a problem. Yeah, you go from Victoria's Secrets to, I don't even know if it's Macy's catalog. Macy's catalog might be too up for some of those. Anyway, so Baker Beach, California is third, which is, this is a, oh, this is a, oh, this is a
Starting point is 00:25:31 convenient clothing optional beach. So that means anybody. Yeah, that means, you know, if you want to get nude, go ahead. If you've, I don't know, if you're high, you feel like getting naked, go ahead. No, you're not going to get in trouble. Then there's Gunnison Beach, New Jersey, the only legal nude beach in New Jersey on the Jersey shore. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:54 There's a Kahena Beach, Hawaii, bear all on the black sands, okay? Collins Beach, Oregon, one of America's best non-coast beaches. Okay? That's at a beautiful little campground there. There's a mash-up beach
Starting point is 00:26:12 Massachusetts. Yeah, that's where you want to go to Martha's Vineyard and freeze your butt off naked in Massachusetts. No, thank you. Blacks Beach, California, number eight, another clothing optional
Starting point is 00:26:27 beach. And Linda Beach, Florida. I have I not been to this one either. That's over there by Cape Canaveral, right? Yeah. Orlando, I have not been.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I apologize to everyone and to the state of Florida for not having been to the nudist beaches in your state. I apologize because well, because. And I know many of you are saying, thank you, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Thank you for not participating. I know. I get that too. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Starting point is 00:28:28 And it's really disappointing, and he felt it was worth more than that. And I was at the house before, I believed it was worth more than $40.

Starting point is 00:29:30 Fred Ruse. Oscar winning producer of Godfather Part 2. Casting director of the Godfather Megalopoulos dead. at the age of 89. I mean, he worked out some classics. American graffiti,
Starting point is 00:29:49 Apocalypse Now. I mentioned Godfather Part 2. And, I mean, he technically was a casting director for Godfather. So he worked on that movie as well. He was intramental in helping stars like Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Carrie Fisher, Richard Dreyfus get their early notable roles. Really just amazing, just incredible life.
Starting point is 00:30:10 and he wasn't credited, but I guess he was a consultant, a casting consultant, which is where he gets your Harrison Ford work and Carrie Fisher work on Star Wars. So that's pretty amazing. So anyway, Fred Ruse, it doesn't say
Starting point is 00:30:27 the cause of death for Fred, but it's possible that someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse. But actually would have been an offer that he refused. Just know that Fred Ruse now sleeps with the fishes. It's official. We did talk about it
Starting point is 00:30:47 when they announced it, but it's going to happen now. Kenya is going to begin to deploy police officers to Haiti to lead a UN authorized multinational mission to quell gang violence. Good
Starting point is 00:31:04 luck. Barbecue is not going to be happy. I'm telling you that right now. The officers, some of whom have experienced fighting Islamist insurgic groups near Somalia will constitute 1,000 of the 2,500 person security force that
Starting point is 00:31:20 is largely being financed by, you guessed it, the United States of America. More than 1,500 people have been killed in Haiti so far this year. Hundreds of thousands have fled as gangs control 80% of the capital of Port-au-Prince.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yeah, barbecue is running that country now. I thought We knew that. Okay. So Kenya's decision to deploy officers comes after a series of court-ordered delays and as Haiti's main airport reopened. Wow. That finally is open.
Starting point is 00:31:51 It's been three months. In addition, Kenya and in addition to Kenya, a number of other countries have offered personnel to the mission. That's right. I remember talking about these countries. I mean, when you think of military, you think of the Bahamas. You think of Bangladesh. You think of Barbados.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I mean, you do not want to mess with the Barbados seals. Belize, Benin, Chad, and Jamaica are all going to help going into Haiti. So that'll be fun. Good luck. Barbecue is going to say no. This country is mine now. Maybe you didn't hear me. So it should be fun battle for Kenya.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And maybe you don't barbecue. You don't want none of those Barbados military guys going. after you don't have messed with the Barbados military. So look for fun coming out of Haiti because that's what it's going to be fun. And this story, what are we doing? Is Los Angeles not up on
Starting point is 00:32:55 what's going on? I don't know. It's being reported now that authorities have opened up an investigation into how Matthew Perry received the supply of ketamine that killed him. I mean, he died in
Starting point is 00:33:11 October. All right. He was in our who died today last October months ago. I mean, are those LA police just well, we got nothing else going on. We got jewelry heist going on all over the country.
Starting point is 00:33:28 We've got, you know, robberies of safe houses. What should we do? What should we do? We've got the streets filled with, I don't know, homeless, illegal, immigrants, but you know what we should do? We should investigate where Matthew Perry got his ketamine that he OD Don. Yeah, that's what we should be focused on. It has to be that they're
Starting point is 00:33:55 getting government money. There's got to be something from the feds that is making this happen so that the LA Police Department or the city of L.A. gets more federal money. And you know what, as I'm reading the story, it talks about how Los Angeles police are working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Don't be messing with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. I've always wanted to be, you know that, in charge of the U.S. Postal Service and the U.S. Postal Service inspections is tough guys. But they are helping with the L.A. police into this probe. So that's for sure what's happening. They already let it go. police already was like we don't know you got the ketamine he overdosed it's his ketamine we don't
Starting point is 00:34:44 care we got a lot of other stuff going on oh we got jewel heist going on we got robberies going out we don't even know who took it we know broad daylight remember easter weekend they're robin they're robin safe companies we but we're going to be worried about where the ketamine came from that matthew perry got yeah okay okay all right don't worry about all that fentanyl on the streets of california don't worry about that You worry about where that damn ketamine came from that Matthew Perry got. Plus, there's other investigations go. I see where the WNBA is investigating a $100,000 sponsorship deal for players.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority wants to give every member of the Las Vegas Aces $100,000 sponsorship for this year and next. I mean, that's fantastic. What's the big deal? and I mean, they're professional basketball players, so it's just a sponsorship deal. The league is looking into the arrangement to ensure the deals are not a way
Starting point is 00:35:49 to circumvent the salary cap. Well, then fix the salary cap. And I know you've already dealt with it because you're raising this salary cap, I think next year, because Caitlin came to town. And everybody's like, you know, you only pay your people that much, Well, yes, and you need to, you know, get some advertising revenue.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I understand. I understand that it's a, you know, the women want to make as much money as the men, but they don't actually make as much money as the men. So when they start making as much money as the men, then they will make as much money as the men. I think you know exactly what I'm saying. So the sponsorships can't be arranged through the team. And the tourism agency said they followed the double.
Starting point is 00:36:39 NBA rules and went through each player's agent. So how about the WNBA League back off a little bit, okay? And let your players, Las Vegas Aces, who I believe are the champions of the league, make an extra $100,000 a year for a next couple of years. To be spokespeople, I don't know, for the city they play in. It's just amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Then I see where we have a lawsuit in the NCAA now over NIL deals. So the Georgia quarterback, well, he's the Georgia quarterback now, Jaden Roshada, he filed a lawsuit over failed NIL agreement. It's going to set off, I mean, they're worried that it's going to set off a huge tsunami of NIL lawsuits. So Roshada is suing the University of Florida, head football coach, Billy Napier, wealthy booster Hugh Hathcock and a former administrative official alleging that they conspired to lure him to Florida
Starting point is 00:37:43 with the promise of a $13.85 million NIL deal but had no intention of ever fulfilling it. Good luck proving that. Rashada initially committed to a $9.5 million NIL deal offer from Miami but turned it down to go to Florida because Florida offered him more.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Rashada claims he never received any money he was promised. including a $500,000 signing bonus. He split with Florida in January of last year and will now play for Georgia, another SEC team and SEC rival, this fall. So the NCAA, according to the rules and regulations, prohibit donors from using potential NIL deals to aid recruiting.
Starting point is 00:38:33 That's funny. That's funny because that's exactly what every university is doing. Unbelievable. So, I mean, that rule, if that is a rule, and I believe that they say it out loud, oh, yes, you can't use NIL deals to agent recruiting. And players, players, they can't go into the portal. Other teams can't tell players to go into the portal
Starting point is 00:39:01 and then they'll be recruited by that team. No, they can't do that. Those are illegal. That's exactly what's happening. So there's no enforcement of those rules at all. So we'll see what happens about that. So the conversation around allowing schools to pay athletes directly to avoid the unchecked network of booster money.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah. So I don't think you'll be able to prove it. Good luck. That they never intended to pay him that? I don't think so. Plus, they will probably have a case that he never. fulfilled his end of the bargain. He had probably had to do more than just go to Florida,
Starting point is 00:39:42 just signed the paperwork. He had to do some kind of deal other than just go to Florida. And maybe that was be a starter. Maybe that was trained for two months. You know, whatever it was, I have no idea what the contract was. But I'm sure that is. This NIL is going to be a big cluster very, very soon. it's turning into one already.
Starting point is 00:40:06 So good luck. I hope you get everything you want, Jaden. I hope you get everything you want and everything you deserve. You bought that, right? Because I do. I do. I believe it.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I want Jaden to get everything he deserves. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice?

Starting point is 00:41:04 I need to say, I'm sorry. I apologize. I know. I know. I did the story yesterday about Ed Dwight. Maybe it was the day before. I did it earlier this week about Ed Dwight, NASA. his first black astronaut candidate in the 60s,
Starting point is 00:41:21 never made it to space. Now he is the oldest person to travel to space because he went up in Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin, past the Carmen line, and now he's been in space, and he's the oldest person to travel to space, which surpasses the record set by William Shatner in 2021.
Starting point is 00:41:45 And so I got a number of emails at chewing the fat of the blaze.com I got a number of little messages on my social media accounts that how dare you do a blue origin story kicking William Shatner to the curb not holding the record without playing William Shatner
Starting point is 00:42:07 on Blue Origin. So you're right. I apologize. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. God. Weightlessness. Oh, Jesus Carmar line
Starting point is 00:42:21 No description Can equal this Okay, stop for a second I can't I can't I can't hear this Without the music I can't because the first time I mean I tell the story
Starting point is 00:42:37 But the first time that this actually was live I watched it live All I could hear in my head Was this being played With my music underneath it it. Oh, Jesus. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:54 No. No description. I can't eat this. Oh, yeah. Wait. Oh, my God. Oh, I'm telling you. Oh, I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Oh, good. Oh. Oh. Oh. I can't believe this. Oh, yeah. So I'm sorry, and I apologize for doing that story. But I gave it to you now, all right?
Starting point is 00:43:33 You got it there. A very sad William Shatner does not hold the record. He is a record holder of being the oldest man in space, but he no longer holds that record thanks to Ed Dwight. Now, I didn't hear any of the Ed Dwight audio from Blue Origin. So I don't know if it's as good as William Shatner's. I'm going to find out, though, for you, I'm going to find out on behalf of you and for you,
Starting point is 00:44:01 if it is worthy of William Shatner audio. Because if it is, I'll play it. Don't you worry about that. All right, let's get out of here. I've had enough. I just saw a study that last night that talked about making your bed makes you 206% more likely to become a millionaire. No wonder I'm not a millionaire.
Starting point is 00:44:31 I'm going to have to start making my bed or at least making sure that my wife makes it so that, you know, if I just have someone make my bed, that means that could be a millionaire? I didn't say that in a study, but I'm just reading between the lines. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
