Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So have you ever thought to yourself, look at all these people in the world that are brain dead and they're just laying there in their beds. What are we going to do with them?

You ever thought about that? I can say, I honestly, I don't think I have ever thought about, man, we should figure out something to do with those brain dead people. Don't worry about trying to bring them back to life. just figure out something to do with them. Well, a professor in Oslo, a professor of practical philosophy, has penned a report in the Journal of Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics. And man, do I look forward to my new Journal of Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics every, whenever it comes out? She has penned this whole body gestational donation plan.

So she thinks that, hey, if you can't have children or you just don't want to get pregnant, you know what you can do is we can impregnate the brain dead people. They can go ahead and just take care of the baby. How great would that be? We could even use men if we had to, but specifically we would use women, but we could use men if we had to, and we would just let them carry the baby to term. And it's okay because, hey, what happens if their body dies or whatever? So what? They're already dead. The one good thing about it is that she didn't say that she would just do it without their permission.

She's talking about proposing an organ donation framework for a gestational donor. So it would be just like you say, hey, I'll give my heart away, or I'll give my liver away, or I'll give my lungs away. You could also say, hey, if I become brain dead, go ahead. Make me pregnant if you want to. I'll go ahead and help you birth a child, even though I'm laying here brain dead. So that's coming. That's coming faster than you can imagine.

And I was just, as I'm reading the story, I'm thinking, what could go wrong? What could possibly go wrong? Nah, nothing, nothing at all. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fad. Those of you living in the Northeast are probably starting to get a whiff of some New York B.O. Because as of the beginning of 2023 this year, a little over a month ago, it's illegal to sell certain popular laundry detergent brands in the state of New York.

Because in the law, the New York State Department of Conservation created a legal limit on how much of a potential carcinogen called one-competion. 4-dioxin can be present in detergent. Now, many of the detergents have over three PPMs, parts for a million, in their brands. So you can only have one or below one PPM now under the new law. And Arm and Hammer, the Clean Burst, Tide Original, Arm and Hammer sets in the skin free and clear, gain original, plus aroma boost, by the way, all have more than three. PPMs of 1 comma 4 dash dioxin, putting them all over the legal limit. So we're going to be smelling some people in New York real soon.

Now, those of you that purchased a bunch prior to the end of the year, you still have the old, and maybe you're smuggling it again. Maybe that's a million dollar idea. We can smuggle in the old, we can smuggle in the soap into New York from New Jersey and Pennsylvania and make sure, hey, yeah, I've got some laundry detergent here that's got three parts per million of 1 comma 4 dash dioxin in the cleaning product. So you'll be able to get things clean.

Of course, we're not supposed to have, you know, it's a potential link to cancer with the 1.4 dash dioxin. I got it. It's all bad for us. So we want to go, we want to make sure that everything is. safe and I'm and I don't know the actual study let's see if they have the actual study on this story they have the studies of the laundry detergents and how much of the human carcinogen uh 1 comma 4 dash dioxin has uh you know in the particular products but it doesn't say how much of the 1 comma 4

dash dioxin it takes to cause cancer so it's been detected in groundwater drinking water supplies near chemical plants and waste sites because of manufacturing and some household cleaning products have the 1 comma 4 dash dioxin and so new york has led the charge in this yeah the limit will reduce to the maximum of 1 ppm by the end of 2023 yeah so you know you have this year to get it straight but it doesn't say uh how much it takes to give you cancer. I bet it's a whole bunch. So anyway, just know, in the Northeast, when you start getting a whiff of B.O. in the air, it's New York. Excuse me, sir. It's not body odor. It's that my clothes stink. Oh, okay. All right. Hey,

no problem. Good to go. Forget I even mentioned it. And then we have another story. Chemicals in the Chemicals in the news. In Ohio yesterday, there was a train crash. And five tanker cars of a derailed train were part of, they were carrying hazardous materials. They were toxic chemicals. So they had to evacuate this entire area. Five thousand residents were ordered to evacuate. And so the five cars transporting the industrial-produced chemical vinyl chloride. That's got to be good for you. Now, they use polyvinyl chloride, which PV makes PVC or hard plastic. You know, the resin and plastic products.

I mean, we are, you know, everything is modern petro technology, man. We are making chemicals. Anyway, the chemical is associated with an increased risk of liver, brain, and long. cancers among other diseases so what did we do well we blew a hole in the tanks we let it leak out into a ditch and then we burned it off so if you are in the area of east palestine ohio uh you know what the smell of burning vinyl chloride is because that's what they're burning and i mean this is one time you may actually want to wear a mask all the guys make it meth up there, fine. They've got their meth masks

on, so don't even worry about it. I don't even know if they were evacuated. I don't know. Look, I'm just joking. There's no meth. There's no meth houses in East Palestine, Ohio. It's just a joke. I hope everyone is safe. They evacuated the residents and apparently no injuries

have been reported. So, it's good that we blew up a little hole in the train car and we released the chemical and then we just burned it off. So, don't worry about it. It's all good. All right. So I got an email at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, which you are welcome to email anytime. I do read all of the emails. I don't respond to them all, but I do see them chewing the fat of the blaze.com. I got an email from David last night, and it brought back so many memories of living in apartments. So the story is from Miami-Dade Police. And he goes, I thought you to enjoy this story. And he was 100% correct. Tremendous story out of Miami. so apparently officers were sent to a Saga Bay apartment complex,

which is right there, just around the corner Southwest 210th Street. It's right there. You know where it is. And so they arrived and they heard a fight between a man and a woman going on inside apartment 108. They knocked on the door several times and made loud verbal commands to open the door. Police, open the door. And the fight continued as the door remained closed. And at one point the officers heard the woman, and I'm guessing,

this is true. I'll believe what the police tell me. They heard the woman scream, kick it in. So that's what they did. They forced their way in. They saw the woman about two feet from the door and the person she was fighting with identified as 32-year-old Kevin Mayorga, running behind the door to close it. So one of the officers tased him, no effect. He was then removed from the apartment. Police say he actively resisted and at one point he struck one of the officers in the face with his arm that, already had one handcuff on it, causing an abrasion on the officer's face. You don't want to do that.

I'm just going to advise against that. So police said they finally, after he continued to resist, they got him to the ground, they placed him in leg restraints and handcuffs. And it was at that point, the woman told the officers that the reason they were fighting was because he had bitten off the head of her pet ball python. And the police said, yep, the dead snake was right there. next to the door with its head detached. So that was what the fight was about. You bit the head off my snake, you bastard. So he was taken into custody. Now, he's charged with resisting an officer with violence,

false imprisonment and animal cruelty. I don't know where we get the false imprisonment from unless he, you know, because he wouldn't open up the door and let the police in. So that means he was, you know, keeping the woman imprisoned into their apartment, I guess. Okay. All right, whatever. And so, You know, there's the big fight because he bit the head off her pet ball python. Really funny, not for the snake, not for the girl. But it brought back so many memories. I have lived in apartment complexes around this country, in a number of states around this country. And I've heard some tremendous fights.

In surrounding apartments, I've never been a part of any of those fights. Let's be clear about that. my favorite fight story this was in I was living in an apartment in Michigan and this couple up above we lived on the second floor

and this was a three-story building and there was an apartment above us there was actually two apartments above us and we had the entire second floor up above the bagel shop anyway we the one couple in the apartment

directly over where I my room was they fought for hours and I mean they threw things and broke things and he was pissed because she cheated on him and he was so angry and they fought and fought and she kept crying and saying she was sorry about it never do it again and finally they storm out and there was a stairwell that went down in between the two buildings and went past one of the you know went past my bedroom window where I was laying now that you couldn't get to this it was up quite a ways you know where the stairwell was but

you can look out and see the people walking up and down the stairs. And so they hit the stairwell and they were still fighting. And she said something and the guy yells out to her, yeah, right. He, I'm not going to give you the quote because if you see me in person, off the air, I'll tell you the actual quote, okay? But here on chewing the fat, where there are word police, which I hate, you know, here at the Blaze Studios, I'm going to be nice. You know, I'm going to be nice.

And I know many of you listen with your children. so don't worry. Some days I go off a little bit far on the deep end, I know, but today I won't go down that road. I'll be nice. But he yelled at her, yeah, right. You let him bidness you in the behind.

And he didn't even say, thank you. And you loved it. One of the best fight lines ever. That was actually a pretty good way to say it. you let him witness you from behind. And he didn't even say thank you. And you loved it.

All right. You think about that for a little bit. It was one of the best fights and apartment living I can remember. Let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink after that desperately. So we got news from AMC movie theaters yesterday that probably should have happened a long time ago, although when I first read it, I thought, well, that's crazy. But they're going to start charging people based on where your seat is in the movie theater,

right, proximity to the movie screen within the auditorium. So they will get put seats in value sightline, standard sightline and preferred site line sections. Standard sightline seats will be the most common in auditoriums and available for the traditional cost of a movie ticket. Patrons will pay less for front row seats. and the value sightline tickets and preferred sideline seats will typically be in the middle of the auditorium and cost slightly more than standard sightline seats. I'm surprised they weren't doing this already. You know, my first thought is, come on, that's fine.

It should be first come, first serve. However, it's not first come first serve anymore. Most of the theaters you order and reserve your seats prior to going to the theater as it is. You know, if you show up at the door without tickets, well, then, good luck, God bless. I'm kind of on AMC's side on this. However, I think this is another way for them to work out a new deal with the streaming services so that they're charging more money for the events that are top dollar, you know, number one movies, and then it would mean that the lower value movies can get to streaming sooner. That was my deal. You know, if you're not number one

after the first, you know, two or three weeks, you're gone to streaming. Have a nice day. Get out here. We can still keep it at the theater and you're able to see it for, you know, cheap. We'll let you end. No matter, you know, no matter where your event price seat is, you get it in. Every ticket is, you know, five bucks or ten, but whatever the case is. But it's also, I can watch it on streaming for that same price.

But we got that from AMC. Be ready for that. If it isn't already happening in your area, when you go to the theater, it's been some time since I've been to the theater. I try to remember, what did I say was the last movie that I'd seen at the theater? I think Batman. I think it was the Batman, but not, I can't remember. Because I just, I have, I, I spent money on applications to view things in my home.

So the theater is not that big a deal to me. I get the whole idea of the big screen, and sometimes that does make a difference in your choice. Man, you know, I used to love going to movies. And I do love movies. and I love, you know, television shows, and I would love to see the television shows on the movie screen. That's why we have large screen televisions in our homes, okay? You know, all of us that had the, you know, 100 years ago,

that had the little 10-inch black and whites, we don't have those anymore, okay? We have our computer screen, which are bigger than the 10-inch black and whites were back in the day, and we have our 30- to 80-inch TVs in our home. So it kind of makes sense for AMC to do that. It's not that bad of an idea, probably something they should have been doing a long time ago.

All the news also yesterday was around Yellowstone, the television show Yellowstone, and Kevin Costner, because apparently he's, you know, getting picky with his time and the wife is nagging him. You're spending way too much time on Yellowstone. You're spending way too much time on Yellowstone. You've already got millions of dollars.

Make me happy. Make me happy. Oh, it's got to be agonizing for him. I mean, maybe he loves her, and he doesn't want to kick her to the curb. Kevin's already got, I don't know how many wives he's had now. How many wives has Kevin Costner had? He's only had a couple. So he's due for another one.

The first one, he was married to her for a long time. And then kicked her to the curb. And he was single for a while. He was playing some serious business in Hollywood during those years. And then he married this Christine Baumgartner in 2004. So he's been married to her for quite some time. So, you know, Christine, maybe you ought to take it easy on the whining. kick the curb, although he doesn't. I mean, he's got a lot of money that ends up giving to you.

Anyway, the news is that he's fighting over how much time he's going to take to shoot Yellowstone, and they're making it, they're saying, hey, we're in talks now that we're going to, we can do the show without Kevin, and Yellowstone will continue on without Kevin, and we're in talks with Matthew McConae to kind of take over the lead role in Yellowstone. Now, a couple things with that. I don't know that that's a good move. I don't know that I like Matthew McConaughey for that role, but, you know, okay, so let's say they are. But I think it's bull crap because Paramount's already issued a release

saying that, hey, we're happy with Kevin and everything's fine. I mean, is that real? I don't know. Is this real? I think it's more just playing with Kevin is actually upset about having to work. Get this. So originally, he had limited himself to 65 days of shooting on yellow But he only wanted to shoot for 50 days as part of the new current season.

So they were like, um, no. Uh, sorry. Sorry about that, but, uh, we've got stuff to shoot. So do I believe they're fighting over that? Absolutely. Uh, but are, are they moving in Matthew McConaughey? I don't think so. Is it possible?

Sure. Uh, could Yellowstone franchise move on without Kevin Costner now? Yeah, probably. Probably could. I don't know that it needs Matthew McConaughey. I would like. to maybe use the guy that plays Spencer in 1923. Brandon Sklner.

He is awesome. His character is awesome. And by the way, the latest episode of 1923, if you haven't seen it, get to it. But it's called the ghost of Sabrina. And Spencer is on his way back to America. And I'm just saying, I'm not going to spoil it for you. This is kind of a spoiler, but not really a spoiler.

I just hope that they're not thinking about killing off Spencer and Alexandra. They've turned this couple into a couple that we love on the show. And now, if they kill them off, I'm going to be pissed. I'm going to be pissed. That's all. Just saying. Taylor Sheridan, I'm going to be pissed. If you kill them off, you know, I, you know, I, you know,

might lose me. You might lose me. I know you're working on your, you know, your new shows. And 1923 has already been re-upped for season two. You know, and you've got your Yellowstone and you've got your Mayor of Kingston. By the way, is awesome. The new season of Mayor of Kingston with Jeremy Renner. Great. Probably won't get a second and third season of that for quite some time. Jeremy's doing rehab. Tulsa King was Stallone. I have not seen a lioness starring Zoe's Aldenna's coming up. 1883. the Bass Reeves story is going to be awesome.

That story, if you don't know the Bass Reeves stories, the real-life Bass Reeves, he was a tremendous, tremendous story. And also was kind of the story behind the Lone Ranger. Really, that's what they claim anyway. Guy was incredible. So Taylor should probably do him great justice. The only thing I don't like about 1923,

and I don't understand why they did it, I'd like to talk to Taylor about that. Taylor, email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, or, you know, you can hit me up, DM me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR or Instagram or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. Get a hold of me. And I'd love to talk to you. I'd love to get your reasoning. I know you've got nothing else to do. You know, when you're down here at the ranch, the four-sixes, just up the road a piece from where I'm at here in DFW, just drop me a line because I'd like to know what you were thinking, using the girl's voice to narrate

1923 and she was the same voice that narrated 1883 and that's the was the daughter she played the daughter in 1883 but she died that's not a spoiler alert if you have I mean that's with the big deal

in the whole 1883 which you know has long been over but why are we using her voice to narrate 1923 she's dead really throws throws me off a little bit. We should have used another voice for the narrator of 1923, maybe the

Indian girl. Something other than her. But, you know, what do I know, Taylor? What do I know? I mean, I did say that the Grammy numbers would be not good. I told you to quote me on that. Now, apparently, they had 12.4

million viewers for the Grammys on Sunday night. That's 30% more than last year. And the biggest audience the award show has gotten since 2020, which ain't saying much, but it is something to hang their hat on. So it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either, at least for them. So they got 12.4 million viewers, which still is, you know, nothing for the Grammys in the past. However, as I said, you know, it was more than last year and their biggest audience award show since

2020, which I don't know if you know this, it's 2023. So it's only like three years ago. So it's still not good, but it wasn't as not good as I thought. So again, what do I know? With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. For those of you listening live, today is the 7th of February, 2023. There was a Powerball winner. Winning tickets sold in Washington State. $1,754.6 million.

So congratulations. We also have the President of the United States delivering the State of the Union address tonight. Man, it's going to be great to hear from him. And he's going to be telling us just how great he's done in the last year and how great the country, what great shape the country is in since he's taken office. And you can look around and see that to be 100% true. Speaking of our president, who died today? Who died today? Well, not our president, by the way.

But fashion designer Paco Raban died at the age of 88. Now, I thought it was Rabane, but it is, according to this, it's Raban. Paca Raban. R-A-N-N-E. I thought it was Rabani. I know there's perfume, and there's, he's done other outfits, and he did a bunch of plastic and metal space-age outfits over the years. But Paca Raban dead at the age of 88. He, actually, and the reason that he has the name of Paca Rabon, he was born.

Francisco Rabaneda or I Corveo in Spain in 1934. And he fled the country during the Spanish Civil War and took the name Paco Raban. So that's why he's Paco. Anyway, Paco is sadly dead at the age of 88. Also, Charles Kimbrough, Murphy Brown actor. You'd know him if you saw him. Charles Kimbrough dead at the age of 86. He was Emmy nominated.

He owned a Tony Nod. He's been in a lot of shows. And again, you would know Charles, if you see him, once you see him, he was 10 seasons on Murphy Brown. And he is dead at the age of 86. Also, Drifter's legend, Charlie Thomas, man, not a good day for Charles's.

The Drifter's legend, Charlie Thomas, dead at the age of 85. He was battling liver cancer as well. But legend from the drifters, Charlie Thomas dead at the age of 85. So sad, rest in peace. Those gentlemen, sad day for the name Charles, though. I know there's baby names are at risk of extinction. I mean, the baby boy names at risk of going extinct.

Nobody named their kid Arjun. Walter was down a bunch of spots. Royce, Caelid, Rory, Nehemiah, Cameron, with a K,

down a bunch of spots. Those boy names are on their way out. Less than 100 spots down, the Wade, Kane, Kean, Ahmed, and Seth. Those were down in the, you know, 90 to 80 spots this year

on the top names. And then, of course, we had the, you know, the girl names that are a risk. That was those were boy names getting ready to hit the cake. And then the,

the names were down the most in girl names Hayden, if you can count them girl names anymore. O'riah, Mira, Kate, Catherine, K-A-T-H-E-E-R-I-N-E, Hannah, H-A-N-A, Leah, Joy, oh, no, Joy is down 112 spots. Vanessa, Alea, and Paige are all down a bunch of spots on baby names. Those names could be going extinct very, very soon.

you don't have a lot of Walters anymore. Charles isn't on there, though. So sad that we lost two actual Charles. And then the most popular baby names this year, the girls were Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Ava, Sophia. Those were the top five girl names. And the top five boy names were Liam, Noah, Oliver, Elijah, and Matteo. So congratulations.

Those were the top five. We're the top ten. Let's see. Girls were Isabella, Luna, Mia, or Maya. They like to say Maya. I spell Maya, M-Y-A. That's what I named my daughter.

But a lot of people spell Maya, M-I-A. So this is eighth. So it might be Mia. To me, it's Mia, but a lot of people believe that it's Maya. Number nine is Charlotte. Number 10 is Evelyn. So the bottom five for the boy,

Lucas, Levi, Asher, James, Leo. That's the bottom five of the top 10 of the top names for babies. Did I get that out right? The bottom five of the top 10 of the best names for babies, the most popular names for babies in 2022. So, no Charles in there either. Speaking of babies, there's a recall of infant sleepers that was issued nearly four years ago,

and they're re-announcing the consumer product to the CPSC, consumer product safety commission. Yeah, duh. They are recalling the Fisher Price rock and play and the kids, the number two, rocking sleeper. Again, the original recall was back in 2019. Over 30 fatalities were reported

have occurred with that rock and play sleeper after inference rolled from their back to their stomach or side, well, unrestrained, or under other circumstances. I'm not sure what those other circumstances are. And since the recall, 70 additional fatalities, wow, over 100 babies, which includes at least eight fatalities that were reported to have occurred after the initial recall announcement. Wow.

So they were, they're not able to, you know, absolutely say that they were, you know, from these products. but they're just telling people, hey, if you purchased one of these Fisher Price Rockin' Plays and the kids do Rocking Sleeper back in, I don't know, 2009 to 2019 from Walmart, Target or Amazon, and, you know, paid between 40 and 150 bucks, check it out.

Make sure it's the right one and it's not the recalled ones because there have been problems and you don't want a problem with your babies or your grandbabies or your friends' babies. So just check it out if you have a sleeper, make sure it's the right one. So they're recalling these. So apparently people are still using them. I don't have a problem with it.

So, I mean, be careful. That's all I'm saying. Be careful. From Searchlight Pictures comes Rental Family only in theaters November 21st. Earning rave reviews at Tiff.

Okay, so I got an overwhelming response to the Mr. Baldwin question that I asked yesterday. Those of you that emailed me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com, thank you. It was overwhelming, that the gunshot and the gun cocking should remain. And it should remain at least through the trial. So there you have it. Those are going to be the rules of the show.

When the trial is coming up soon at the end of this month is going to begin. And so when we talk about the trial and you hear the name Alec Baldwin, you will hear that. And when I say his first name, Alec, you will hear that. One email from Jason echoed that, that yes, it should remain. But he also had an idea that you got, he said that after the trial, and he's assuming that Mr. Baldwin will be found guilty.

You should play the jail cell slam whenever I say, Alec Baldwin. And when I would say, this is a, you know, just assuming. he's found guilty, that when I say his first name, Alec, you would hear that. So, you know, we may have to work on that. Now,

that's a, I don't think he's going to be found guilty. There's no way. I mean, it's time that we just throw this thing out. All right. Alec needs to walk, and the other Dingleberry needs to be found guilty. But, so, as of right now, the rules still are the rules. And so the gun, the gun,

and the gunshot remain through the trial those are the rules of the show thank you for responding to my question at chewing the fat at the blaze.com so the National Enquirer was sold speaking of dingleberry douchebag alec Baldwin I wish I owned the National Enquirer man I'd be fun to cover these dangleberries but anyway it's been sold to a group that includes the company that founded by Theodore Farnsworth. Remember him? The movie pass, ex-chairman.

Yeah. Yeah, you remember him in the news. So it also includes the tabloid brands The Globe and the National Examiner. Now, it said that the price wasn't released, but according to inside sources, it was a little under

$100 million. Now, it's been up on the sale block for quite a while. I offered $100 and it was turned down. I don't remember offering them any money. I wish I had. I would love to own these. Dinkleberry. It was so awesome to own these. So it's good if they're up and running, they're sold. A company, the parent company, A360 Media, agreed to sell the publication along with the other tabloid brands. As I said, the National Examiner in the globe and the National Inquiry UK, oh, they didn't mention, I'd let that's to VVIP ventures, a joint venture made up of VINCO Ventures and Icon Publishing.

Okay. So VINCO owns a LOMATF, which is a TikTok competitor. Okay, LOMATIF. I don't know that I've ever heard of that. L-O-M-O-T-I-F is a TikTok competitor. Poof, good luck. I haven't even heard of them. So they look forward, according to VINCO executive chairman

and Rod Vanderbilt. We look forward to integrating these publications into our business and continuing their legacy of success. Does these publishing ventures have a legacy of success? Yeah, I guess they do. I mean, we're always, there for a long time,

we talked about National Enquirer and the tabloids. I mean, I had a game show for a while on one of my shows that I was doing 100 years ago called tabloids what was it called it was called

tabloids I can't remember what it was called I used the tabloids is it tabloid or truth truth or tabloid I mean it was similar to you know what's the lie

the game show that I'm doing now it was just I would tell you headlines and you had to choose whether it was a tabloid or truth. Gosh darn it. I can't remember what it was called. I'll think of it. I'll let you know. I love these stupid tabloids.

Anyway, so they're, you know, I don't own up. Very sad. And they are now purchased and you can feel better about the National Inquirer because they're owned by another Diggleberry company. How happy are you now? If it was truth or tabloid, I think that might have been it. I'm sorry, I can't remember. Shoot, I'll move on. I won't be able to move on for the rest of the day

until I look back and try to find out the name of the stupid game show that I had. Truth or tabloid. All right, I'll stop. I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll stop, I'll talk about the Italian guy, the mafia guy that got arrested. Okay, it'll get me off of truth or tabloid. That wasn't it, though, Tabloid. So, Edgloido Greco, 63, a fugitive of the Italian state, arrested in France.

after, and he's been wanted for 16 years. He was already handed a life sentence in prison in absentia in Italy on charges of double homicide and attempted murder during the mafia, one of the mafia wars anyway, in the early 90s. All right. He escaped from temporary police custody in 2006, and they've been looking for him ever since. Huh. Okay. So they found him in a town in France. and he was running a pizza parlor.

Now, if that isn't... Come on now. The mafia guy running a pizza parlor, maybe he could have thought of something else to do? I don't know. I don't know. But apparently, you know, he was so happy with his new pizza place

that they started doing ads. He was featured in a newspaper in 2021, you know, saying, hey, this is authentic Italian cuisine. I only want to offer regional and homemade recipes. And maybe he shouldn't have done that. Maybe he should have kept himself out of the news. But he got pretty cocky, thought he was untraceable, untouchable.

And no, that was not the case. So they got this guy. Remember not long ago, they busted the other guy that was on the run for 30 years. Remember, because originally they got the wrong guy in Europe. And then they finally got him. This guy, remember they got him at a clinic, at some three cuts to clown-faced clinic that they finally arrested him at. And so the Interpol's Secretary General,

Jurgundstock, of course, you know Jurgen is the Secretary General of Interpol, he said no matter how hard fugitives try to slip into a quiet life abroad, they cannot evade justice forever. Dedicated officers around the world will always ensure that justice is served. Thank you, Jurgan. Certainly didn't hurt that. the Italian mafia guy decided to open up a pizza parlor

in France I just think he'd be smarter than that but you know obviously he wasn't stream and subscribe to more Blaze media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you
