And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. We all know that airlines really are, what's the word I'm looking for? Well, they suck for the most part these days, right? I mean, we all know that. And it's a pain in the rear to fly, and we see the videos, and we hear the stories. And it's just like, if you have to fly, it's because, well, you have to fly. So there's a story today about this famed British cellist, Sheku Canna Mason, who you all remember because he became a household name,

according to this story, after performing at the Prince Harry and Megan Markle wedding. And so he said he had to cancel a concert in Canada recently after the country's largest airline denied his pre-booked seat for his cello. Now, I guess Cana is still on a winter tour with his sister, and they were scheduled to perform in Toronto. When he posted on social media, we're deeply saddened to not be able to perform for you. We had severe misfortune with flights and tried our very best to reach you. And so there's going to be some kind of concert next year, hopefully. He said, first we had delays, then a cancellation.

and the day concluded by being denied boarding with the cello, despite having a confirmed seat for it. On a new flight now, final flight into Toronto, nine hours later, we realized our journey wasn't going to be possible, so they had to cancel the show. Now, he said, and they said in their post, we can only dream of a time when all airlines have a standardized,

global and carefully considered approach to the carriage of precious instruments that are booked to travel in the cabin. I couldn't agree more. And I'm sure that they already do. It's just that the boots on the ground don't follow those rules. They pretty much have been able to get away

with whatever they get away with because they're on the ground for the airlines and the airlines take their words for it. Now, he travels with this masterpiece cello that's on loan for him, indefinite loan. It's worth about $3 million. And he's not going to, you know, he's not going to put it under the plane with the luggage. Oh, it's not under the plane, but he's not going to put it in the

luggage compartment of the airplane or under the plane, for that matter. He's going to carry it with him. So, okay, I get all that. And it's, you know, terrible and it's frustrating and the airlines need to get their crap together. No question. However, I have a question. All right. I know that we're possibly trying to save money on the great. concert tour with Shaku Kanah Mason and his sister, the pianist. But why are we flying domestic? Is there a problem with the money? I would venture to say that some sponsor would be able to let you travel on a private airline.

So you did not have to put up with the domestic nightmares that the rest of us unwashed masses have to deal with. So I know I feel sorry for you. I get it. And the airlines are a nightmare. And as I said earlier, the airlines, well, they suck. But I would ask, why are you not flying private? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. It doesn't look like astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams are ever coming back to Earth. So they went up for a week, and they've been up there for months now, and they had hoped to come home in February, right? So the Boeing Starliner was not safe enough for them to return to Earth in it. They returned the Starliner to Earth with minimal complications, but other astronauts were not on there. So Elon, SpaceX, sent up a rescue mission,

and they were supposed to go up. This mission was supposed to go up with four astronauts. only went up with two so that when it returns in February, it could take the SpaceX astronauts and the Boeing astronauts with it and come back to Earth. Well, now that return trip has been delayed. I know. It's not going to happen now till maybe March or April. They are working on a new Dragon spacecraft for the mission,

which is due to arrive at the SpaceX facility in Florida next month. So the crew 10 launch has been delayed until at least late March. They are never coming home. They are stuck there seemingly forever. So I know there's an issue. Well, it's not an issue. They're just, you know, they need to have a little bit more time with the SpaceX rocket that's going up there. The fabrication assembly, testing, final integration, which they, you know, is a painstaking endeavor.

Got it. And so they're, you know, they. Appreciate all the hard work that everyone's done, but we're going to have to delay this at least until the end of March. So the capsule's readiness for flight. Now everyone's worried about how Sunny and Butch are doing. NASA said that the ISS is well stocked with good water, oxygen, and other necessities, as it has recently welcomed two resupply crafts so that the members of crew nine will not experience any deprivations while in orbit. Okay. So they also, the reason that's been delayed is because they want to, they don't want to send them back.

I mean, they've got the capsule there, but they don't want to send them back and not have the crossover event between the crew 9 and crew 10 astronauts. They want the crew 10 to have, you know, a meet and greet with crew 9 and a little tour of the ISS before they leave. So I'm sure that Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams are happy about having to stay at the IOS. ISS, just a little bit longer because, wow, they are, it feels like they are never coming home. I mean, you want to talk about a movie. It's already, it's written itself stuck at the ISS, and that is, that will be, that will be a movie guaranteed. And maybe they don't want to come home. I mean, we have the first ever severe bird flu case reported in the United States.

The CDC said that a patient in Louisiana has. has been hospitalized with bird flu. And it's the first confirmed severe case of H5N1 illness in the U.S. Now, more than 60 human cases of bird flu have happened, but those are just mild cases, according to the CDC. The majority of them have been farm workers, and that, you know, those have been reported this year following an outbreak that has killed 123 million poultry.

Wow. and infected more than 860 dairy herds in 16 states since March. And as for the severe case, the person had been in contact with birds, both sick and dead, in backyard flocks. So they still are saying that the risk to the human population remains low. Well, yeah, I mean, we still don't have, and again, we still don't have a human-to-human transmission of this. It's all from sick birds or cows to humans. But they keep telling us that the human to human is going to happen.

And I know that the risk to the public remains low. We all want to take the necessary steps to help prevent the spread of the virus, which is why California and Governor Gavin Newsom has issued a state of emergency order to mobilize government efforts against bird flu. We were just talking about this, how he had the big raw milk shut down because of bird flu. He was going after the raw milkers. But there was no one that got sick from the raw milk.

They found some bird flu strains in the raw milk. But no one was sick. But it doesn't matter. If the risk is still low, it doesn't matter. California wants it to be in a state of an emergency. And okay. Sure. We want to be able to take targeted action to ensure government agencies,

have the resources and the flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak. Like they wouldn't have that anyway. I feel like Governor Newsom wants that state of emergency for other reasons. But, hey, you know, it's all for the safety of Californians and Americans because of the possibility out there that bird flu, you know, could affect you. It's going to affect our pocketbook pretty soon, that's for sure. But will it affect our health? Now we shall see. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close to you, call 1-866-5-3-1-2-2-2-3-2. 600 or visit comexonterio.ca. So he will not let it go. He said on a podcast, the David DeCovine's Fail Better podcast, he won't come on this show, that there is more to come after his involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed in July. Who is that?

Well, it's our man, Alec Baldwin. Now you're still going to hear that because we're talking about the Rust case all over. again. He just will not let it go. So he did this podcast and he said there's more to come. He said there's, it's going to be undeniably a successful effort to raise and to expose what really happened. I thought we already knew what was happening. He said I was counterpunching. I was on the defensive. I was being accused. I was being indicted. Oh, okay. Now, he claims that the mainstream media, organizations had suppressed every story. We knew every story, Alec.

In fact, we were mostly on your side. I know that you were thinking that people wanted you dead and they wanted to hurt you. No, we wanted the case to go away, which it finally did. The judge dismissed it, which we were happy about. We weren't happy that Helena Hudson. died. We weren't happy that this accident happened on the film set of Rust, Alec. Because you were such a douche over the years, it added on to why you felt like you were shunned by both the entertainment industry and the American public, because we had enough of you being a douche. But, you know,

whatever, we thought this was silly that you were being charged in this. And they wanted you to die. No, we didn't. We didn't. And I, you know, I, you know, I, you know, I thought we were done with the rust case, and I thought I was done with the chewing the fat rules that if I say your full name, you get the gunshot. If I say your first name, you get the gun cocking. But we're not, because you keep bringing it up. You keep bringing it up.

And so, DeCovny asked him how he hopes to move forward, and he said, I've had communications lately, that things are coming back my way to work. Oh, so you're going to, you know, it means okay. Your jobs are going to come back because people are okay with you working again. Yes, we like your work. Just personally, you're a douche. We know that.

I mean, okay, that's fine. So I let it go. Be done with it. Please be done with it. I know now you're out there. Has anyone seen his reality show? I have not. Gosh, darn it.

I got to look for that. When does that start? Okay, that doesn't start until next year, 2025. The Baldwin's. so their promo of the show. And then we heard nightmares around how much he wanted to get paid and how much that he needed to pay

the wife and the kids. So again, you're being a nightmare. Dear old Alec. But he's saying that because the judge canceled the case, obviously it was ruled, it was dismissed because of, with prejudice.

And he said that I'm very grateful for that because it was a very informed decision on her part. Yes, it was. But if I'd gone all, the way and gotten a verdict, that's a little bit better because a bunch of people in a jury had considered the facts and we would have presented so much more. All that doesn't get presented because the case is over. So you want to believe more of what you were going to say in trial that never

happened. We were on your side. I know you don't think we were, but we were. We thought it was stupid. But you're such a douche. It was so hard to be on your side. So now he went to, are we going to have more of the story, it won't go away. Just let it go away. Let it go away. Please. Please. I know you want to keep your face in the news because you have your reality show coming up and you're hoping that Hollywood will let you work again. And I know that you released Rust in Poland and you didn't show up for the premiere because you knew what would happen. And we'll probably never see Rust, although it's probably on one of my streaming services. I don't know that I actually want to watch it. But I do now because of all the all the stuff surrounding it.

And it's very sad that Helena Hunchens had to, uh, had to lose her life in the filming of this movie. And we know that, uh, what's her face is still in jail. The, um,

armorer Hannah Guterres Reed, uh, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. And sentenced to 18 months in prison. She was blamed by prosecutors for unwittingly bringing live ammunition out of the set and for failing to follow basic gun safety. protocols. You know, no one really believes that it was unwittingly bringing live eminition out of the set, but that's, you know, what she was convicted of. So anyway,

here you go. I know you want to show up on all these podcasts. I'm here for you. If you want to show up and talk to me on chewing the fat, I would love to have you on my show. Alec, I promise, I promise I won't call you a douche to your face, all right? Although I may remind people that other people think that you're such an elitist douche, but it's maybe a reason why he won't come on my show. But of course he was on David DeCovny's podcast, fail better, and there is more to come. Man, we just can't wait for that.

Let it go. Please, Mr. Baldwin, let it go. So that I, you know, when we talk about you, because it's very difficult to talk about you without using the gunshots, because you're still bringing up the rust case. and when we talk about the Rust case, we have to have the gunshots.

That's just the rule of the show. That's been voted on. That's the way it works. So whenever we talk about you and the Rust case, when I say Alec, you hear that. And when I say Alec Baldwin, you hear that. Those are the rules.

Rules are rules. Am I right? Of course I am. Be sure to follow me on X at Jeffey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on my YouTube channel Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

In fact, we have a joke of the day that was sent through email from Don, I think his name is. And he was hoping that his joke would make it the joke of the day. So yes, chewing the fact where dreams do come true. All right, let's go to the break room. It's something cold to drink desperately.

If you are not watching Landman on Paramount Plus, you are missing a fantastic show. I'm giving it two bags of fat. Is that same as a thumbs up? Sure, let's do that. I've enjoyed it so much. Billy Bob Thornton and all the other characters are awesome in Landman. This latest episode that just aired this week is out. standing and I really am a fan. So if you have an opportunity to watch Landman on Paramount

Plus, well worth the watch, it's a big guy show, but it is well worth the watch. And I'm sure it's a, you know, it's not rated comedy, but there are so many things that happen in this show. Hilarious. It's more of a comedy than the chef movie. I'll tell you that. It's not a movie, Jeff. It's a TV show and it's called The Bear. Yeah, I know. I know. But it's But they put that under the comedy heading, and I don't understand it. Landman is more hilarious than the bear, I'll tell you that. And I like the bear. It's just not a comedy, that's all.

But they continue to call it a comedy. And I guess that it wasn't released in time for the Golden Globe nominations, because the best television drama nomination for the Golden Globes is Shogun, the diplomat, slow horses, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the Day of the Jackal, Squid Game. And the best television series, comedy or musical, Abbott Elementary, the bear. I don't know how they get away with calling that at a comedy. We've covered that.

Hacks, love that. Nobody watch this. Only murders in the building and the gentleman. So a landman should definitely be nominated for the best television series or comedy or musical for sure. From the Golden Globes. I see where they released what the gift is going to be. I say gift.

The gifts, the Golden Globes. the Golden Globes gift bag? It's going to be worth more than a million dollars this year. Wow. Yes, I want to be nominated for the Golden Globes, please. In honor, the winners and presenters at the 82 Golden Globes, Robbos, not just the nominees, you've got to win, and you've got to be a presenter. So let me be a presenter and a hopeful winner.

I wonder if you get both of them, if you're a presenter and a winner. So you get, let's see, it's a gift bag featuring more than 25 products and experiences worth $1 million in total. From travel and culinary to fashion and beauty, the ultimate gift box has something luxurious for every celebrity's taste. This year, the collection embodies the pinnacle of luxury. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so what is it? Let's see. Each celeb can choose from the gifts on offer in the ultimate gift book.

They'll receive the centerpiece, the atlice, the Atlas. bespoke Weekender bag created exclusively for the Golden Globes. The bag comes with a double handle and removable shoulder strap, organic cotton interiors and suede accents, and a brushed stainless steel golden globes

travel bag. Oh, that's so fine. I love that. The presenters and the winners who want to go home with something tangible, besides the coveted award statuette, they can choose among items such as La Prairie's pure gold concentrate serum,

love that, an N-B-44 custom-designed suit, or a trio of ultra-rare libber-pater wines. Oh, man, does that sound good? Is it Liberpater? Liberpeter, L-I-B-E-R, P-A-T-E-R, two separate words, wines? Okay. One skincare officianto can indulge in Dr. Simon Orion's non-surgical stem-cell facelift. That's what I want. I want. I want the non-surgical stem-cell facelift, while others could opt for a personalized forward space dance focused workout and wellness experience. As for travel experiences, the ultimate gift guide can take you anywhere from Finland to see the northern lights to Indonesia via a luxury yacht charter. Beachy vibes abound and stays at properties of the Turks and the Kekos and the Grand Cayman. Or perhaps you'd prefer a three-night stay in the Bali

jungle or a two-night whiskey experience in Tasmania. Ha, that is awesome. That's what I want. Now, I will say this, it's Christmas season, so you know exactly what one of my favorite Christmas songs is, and while you could possibly get the non-surgical stem cell facelift, you may want something else for Christmas. Every, underneath the tree, lots of lovely presents are waiting there.

And though I'm excited. Hey Santa, there is something that I'd like a whole lot. I want a boob job for Christmas. Hefty, happy hoogers, squishy, gushing, black tit sugars, loads of herbie cleavage on display. Big as Mount St. Hallets. Saggering. Easy. Easy.

Symbolos wild and wapley wapping wapping wallows nestled in a cup that's doubled. Think about it. Love that song. It's from Bob and Tom featuring Virginia K. and it's awesome. And since it's Christmas season, and this is the final, doing the fast show,

until next year, you know, we have to share some holiday tunes. And you can always ask Santa for anything you want. It doesn't have to be a facelift or a boob job, but, you know,

those things cost a lot of money. And apparently, I'm doing the spec program wrong. The one we've been talking about the last couple days with Helen Hadsel's spec program, which she said that I'm supposed to,

The way to win things is I'm supposed to select it, project it, expect it, and collect it. I keep repeating it because I want to remember it. I want to have it in my head. Select it, project it, expect it, collect it. And it hasn't worked out because I didn't win the powerball last night, although no one won the power ball last night. So the next drawing is Saturday, this coming Saturday,

the 21st of you're listening live. Today is the 19th of December, 2024. So Saturday's jackpot is $88 million and a $41 million cash payout. And I didn't win the other day with the mega millions when I tried to select it, projected, expected, and collected. I selected it. I selected it. I expected it. I did not collect it. No one did. So we have that drawing the 20th, which is tomorrow, Friday night, for $825 million jackpot, $382.2 million. cash payout. That would buy a lot of boom jobs and do a lot of facelifts. So I'm going to select it. And I'm going to project it. I'm going to expect it. And hopefully I'll be able to collect it.

these days, and it's really kind of well, it's exciting if you're an archaeologist, I guess, because we have the they discovered evidence of systematic cannibalism in a Bronze Age burial site near Bristol, England. They claim that this is the aftermath of an exceptionally violent attack in early Bronze Age England. It suggests that at least 37 people may have been systematically dismembered and eaten. Oh, okay, that's good.

The attack, which took place around 4,000 years ago, reveals a case of cannibalism. and the darker side of human prehistory. According to the study published this week in the journal Antiquity, man, do I love the journal antiquity. Over 3,000 bones were excavated from a 50-foot pit in Charterhouse Warren around 20 miles south of Bristol, England. The bones, which were chosen for analysis because of the sheer number of cut marks, were first discovered by cavers in the 1970s.

Oh, so we've had these for a while. They had more violence inflicted on them than would normally be seen in a butchered animal bone assemblage. Okay. So the professor, this professor, Rick Schulting, which is a professor of scientific and prehistoric archaeology at Britain's University of Oxford, said that the archaeology at the site is exceptional. The most surprising thing is the sheer extent of the violence carried out on the bodies. Okay. So that's good news.

a few thousand years ago, we had cannibals attacking and eating humans. Then we have, let's come back to the United States, where we have found a mastodon jaw and a few other pieces of mastodon bones in the backyard of someone's home in New York. So apparently the owner of the house was said, hey, what's that sticking out of the ground? Not real sure. Well, it's a complete mastodon jaw fossil.

And it also has some different bones that they've dug up for comprehensive analysis. It's teeth and other parts of the body of this mastodon. So it's a full, well-preserved mastodon jaw. And there's a toe bone and a rib fragment. Ha, that's over there. That's a toe bone. Oh, okay. So the guy said he's in his back.

backyard and he picked up one of the bones, which I guess was a tooth. And he was like, hey, this looks like something pretty cool. I guess I better call the experts. And he did. So the state education department said more than 150 mastodon fossils have been found statewide to date. And about one third of those discoveries were in Orange County where this guy found his bones. And then, you know, the experts showed up and started digging his yard around. And he was like He's just happy to be a part of it. I would be saying somebody owes me some money somewhere. Somewhere there's got to be some money.

Nope, we're just going to give it to the museum and they can study it. And I'm just happy to be a part of it. Okay, good for you. The excavation efforts by museum and sunny orange staff, S-U-N-Y, so S-U-N-Y-S-U-N-Y-S-U-N-Y-S-Elded a full, well-preserved mastodon jaw, belonging to an adult. And, of course, the toe bones and rib fagments and the teeth. Then we can go back to Europe and we'll go to Germany because we believe that we have found the 18-year-old.

18-year-old. Yeah, that's how old it is. It's 18 years old. They have found an 1800-year-old silver amulet that they've tried to decipher, and they finally have deciphered. They've digitally unrolled this 1800-year-old silver amulet. and they believe that it is authentic evidence of pure Christianity north of the Elps that's you know they didn't believe existed before oh okay uh it's gonna is the first Christian find north of the Alps wow okay so it's uh in Germany Frankfurt and the amulet housed a wafer thin foil measuring 1.4 inches and featuring text referred to as the Frankfurt silver inscription. It was found beneath the chin of a man's skeleton at a burial site on the outskirts

of Frankfurt in 2018. However, the ancient wording dating back between 230 and 270 when the predominant religions in Europe was Judaism and paganism has been virtually ill eligible, illeligible, illeligible until now. A specialist from the Lebanese Center for Archaeology, Liza L-E-I-Z-A, love them, used computer tomography, CT scans, to decode the 18-line engraving, which declares Jesus Christ the Son of God. In the name of St. Titus,

Holy, Holy, Holy, in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Lord would resist with strength all attacks. The God grants entry to well-being. Many of this means to salvation project the man who surrenders himself to the world. of Jesus Christ, Son of God. Since before Jesus Christ, every knee bows,

those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and every tongue confesses Jesus Christ. Reads the translation. It's a lot on the old from the old Frankfurt's silver inscription when the amulant has this water thin foil. That's a lot.

That's a lot. But we got it. They claim that they cracked the code on the inscription, which was written in Latin, and they used, you know, the technologies on the extremely delicate scroll, and they analyzed what they had, and they found that it was, they did a 3D model of it, and they placed individual segments of the scan together piece by piece until most of the words were visible. There are some few gaps in the piece, so it may not be as long as what they claim.

Anyway, they were surprised that this. was in Latin since most inscriptions in amulence were usually written in Greek or Hebrew. So they still believe now that this is the first Christian north of the Alps and speculated that there could be more

yeah you think untapped Christian barrel sites around Europe. So we're finding that and now we also have the oldest known stone tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments just sold for five million dollars. It would seem like

could be worth a little bit more than that. But they got $5 million for it at an auction, and it's a 155-pound marble slab acquired by an anonymous buyer who plans to donate it to an Israeli institution. So the New York-based auction house said the final price exceeded the presale estimate of a million to $2 million. Yeah, you think. There was intense bidding, I bet.

The tablet dates from 300 to 800 AD and is inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Paleo-Hebrew script. the only complete example of its kind from antiquity. Wow. So they've unearthed this during railroad excavations along the southern coast of Israel in 1913. And it wasn't recognized as historically significant. Let's move that out of the way.

It's got some writings on it. Don't worry about it. We've got to put a railroad in. So they used it as a paving stone at a local home until 1943 when it was sold to a scholar who grasp its significance. Yeah, we're just doing use that as a paving stone. Don't worry about it.

It's only the Ten Commandments. And somebody looked at it and said, you know, I don't think we should be using that for a paving stone. So it's sold for $5 million, and now it will be donated to an Israeli institution. It doesn't say which institution. But we do have the oldest known stone tablet inscribed. with the Ten Commandments, headed to an institution,

and it was purchased for $5 million. 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.

It's the last show of 2024 for chewing the fat, although I'm probably going to do like a daily story or a couple of stories a day on my X account at Jeffrey JFR or my YouTube page Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use, maybe both of them, because there's no shows, and there's going to be stories, and there's still, I've got a ton of stories I'd like to talk to you about. I mean, Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of United Healthcare CEO, is headed back to New York now. He's got, he didn't wave extradition. He went before a judge in Pennsylvania, and they, you know, did their thing, and then they stuffed them in an SUV and on a plane and back to New York.

By the time you hear this, he's probably already in. New York. Alvin Bragg, you know him, you love him, the district attorney of New York, who, you know, is agonizing in and out of himself. But he said there's an 11-count indictment out of New York that's going to charge Luigi with first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as a killing in the act of terrorism, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, one count of a

fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of second degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. I mean, are we just piling on now? I mean, we had we done murder shooting the guy out the street. We're just, you know, we're just going to, you know, find you guilty of murder. No, we're not going to do that. We're not going to, we're not going to charge you with just first degree murder. That's not good enough. We got to also count you with two counts of second degree murder. That's for why. He only killed one person, right? I mean, allegedly. He only killed one person, right? So it seems like this is piling on, but you know, hey, that's all right. It's not good for Luigi. It's not good, whether it's just first-degree murder or the other

10 or 11 counts that they're going to pile on for them. It does not look good for Luigi. Okay, so I have to, I can't leave the program through the holidays without giving you a my favorite, one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs that I play, you know, every year. It's a tradition. It's a chewing-the-fat tradition. Doggaw-Gon it. And just like Boobab for Christmas earlier is a, you know, is a fun, smiling, joking Christmas song.

But I also love, O Come All Ye Faithful from David Osmond. He sang it on the album called Believe Again. Believe again. And you could still get Believe Again. If you go to glenbeck.com slash believe again and you can buy the album. The album is outstanding. But my favorite song from that album is David Osmond and Clyde Bowden, who is awesome too. I've got some of his original works, which is just incredible.

But this song was one take. And you can catch it on the Blaze TV, YouTube. channel. It's called Believe Again. Oh, come all ye faithful. And it means so much. I should probably do the joke of the day before Believe again, because I'm not going to want to do a joke after, oh, come, all ye faithful.

Okay? So I'll just leave you with, Oh, come, all you faithful on into the Christmas season. So the joke of the day was emailed to me from Don. And I want to say, yes, Don, I got your email. Like I said, those of you that emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I do see your emails. I do not respond to them all. But I want to thank Don. He thanks in his email. He said, a friend told me this one and I really liked it. Okay, so Don didn't write this. So he's not trying to take credit. He's just trying to pass it along for my

consideration. And, you know, I'm going to use it because Don passed it along. But he also said, thank you for the fun and the laughs this past year. They helped me a lot through a through a rough year. More than you will ever realize. Oh, I mean, thank you, Don. We appreciate it. That's what we try to put on, you know, do with our shows. Merry Christmas.

Happy New Year to you and everyone at the Blaze. And what the heck, let's include Ron and Brad, too, over there at Mojo 5-0. He didn't say Mojo 5-0. I'm saying that. He said, let's include Ron and Brad, too, because I do hit on Mojo 5-0 with Ron and Brad once a week on Thursdays. And also, Brad and I do Saturday morning live. which is now down through the holidays.

There won't be another Saturday morning live until I think we're, we're going to be back on Saturday morning live, which will be Saturday the 11th. Okay, so we're not going to, the new chewing the fat will be the 6th of January, 2025, and a new Saturday morning live will be the 11th of January. So, you know, that's when you get those shows back.

And I don't know, you know, Ron and Brad are back probably on the 6th. Pat Unleashed, the show that I'm on at least a couple times a week, is back on the 6th. So it's the holiday season now. I want you to go and be with your family and enjoy yourself and do the best you can with what you've got. You can quote me on that. Do the best you can with what you've got. So you're welcome, Don, and then we're happy to do it. That's what we tried to do.

So here's the joke. Okay. And then we're going to go into, oh, come, all you faithful, because I don't want to do the joke after. Oh, come, all you faithful. I don't know why. I just feel like, you know, probably shouldn't. So what do you call a wreath made of $100 bills?

I don't know. What do you call a wreath made of $100 bills? A wreath of Franklin's. See, because it's 100 with, you know, you understand. Leave again is the album. The song is Oh Come All You Faithful, with David Osmond and Clyde Bowden. Incredible.

I love, love that song. Anyway, thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat, and I appreciate all the kind words, and appreciate you for listening to the show and all the shows that I'm on. Have a very Merry Christmas. Have a happy New Year. Be safe.

I hope everything that you want comes true. Whatever you want, I hope it all comes true for you. Merry Christmas, happy New Year. And that's from, well, for me, Jeff Fisher, and chewing the fat. So be safe. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
