Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Those of you living in Ashawa, or the surrounding area of Ashawa, Canada, that's about, I don't know, 45 minutes east of Toronto. Be careful out there.

There's a runaway kangaroo. And we don't know what it's going to do, where it's going to go. It may attack. We don't know. We just know that it was destined for a zoo in Quebec, and it was supposed to spend the night at the Ashawa Zoo. I guess it's called the Ashawaz Zoo and Fun Farm. And it jumped over the handlers and out of the trailer and off it went.

Now, there have been multiple reports. People have seen it. It was believed to be hunkered down at some farm about two kilometers away from the zoo. There's no way to tell how far that farm is from. the zoo two kilometers it might be i don't know two feet it might be two miles and we don't know and uh we realized apparently that it was the kangaroo at this farm and then it began to hop across the field so they don't know where it's at they think it's was hunkered down in this brushy area apparently the security company was assisting and trying to find the animal they used their drone with

thermal technology to you know say hey it's over there So it hasn't been captured yet. So be careful out there in Oshua. You don't want to just come up on the old kangaroo. You might get your butt kicked. Kangaroos are pretty strong animals. And whatever you do, I don't know, you're out in the country. I don't want farmers in Canada to, once they see it, and then that would be sad.

So don't do that, whatever you do. Call the authorities and say, hey, I've got the kangaroo. in my barn and come and get it. Or the kangaroo is in my garden. Come and get it. Be careful. All of you in the town of Ashawa because the Ashwa Zoo and Fun Farm

and the authorities are on the hunt. Welcome. Welcome to Towing the Fat. So the online language learning platform pre-ply. P-R-E-P-L-Y. I know it's P-L-Y-I-B-E-P-L-I-Better. They released their 20-23 survey for the most commonly used slang terms that apparently parents and teenagers are most familiar with.

Okay. The report surveyed 6802 parents with children between the ages of 12 and 18 and found that only 2% knew every slang term on the list, about three and five parents in the study said they try to keep up with slang to communicate with their teenagers, usually by using Google. Okay. So the top slang terms of 2023. SUS. SUS.

That's giving the impression that something is questionable or dishonest, suspicious. Bet. Expression means I agree. Good news. Yeat. I had not heard yeat before. That's to violently throw an object that you deem to be

worthless, inferior, or just plain garbage. Salty when you're upset over a little something. Cap, another word for lying, it can be used like no cap, or you can say stop capping. Extra, being over the top,

excessive dramatic behavior. Bussin, what you would say if something was really good. bussum. Boogie. Don't be using my word. That's my word. Okay?

Boogie. Used to describe someone as high class literally or figuratively. No. No, no, no, no. My word, bougie, is meant for something

that is not good. It's too bougie. No, we're not doing that. Don't be stealing my words. Sheesh, an expression when you're impressed or amazed by something. Drip, when something is very cool,

can be used to describe an outfit, accessory, person, song, etc. That's drip. Oof! Can be used to express discomfort, stress, or sadness. I feel like that one's been around for a while. Finna, that's the abbreviation of fixing to.

Formerly means going to. Yeah, finna. I'm finn. Finna. Finna going to go there. Shook. Being shocked or surprised. when you can't believe what you're seeing.

Simp when someone does way too much for a person they like. Mid used to insult or degrade something or an opposing opinion, labeling it as average or poor quality. Mid. Hold this L. You took an L. Oh, I wonder what that means. Someone says another person when they lose at something.

And, of course, if you know, you know, the abbreviation on social media would be IYK YK YK and someone regardless of their views who doesn't think for themselves NPC NPC So those are The most use slang terms in 2023 So good luck and that way you'll know what the

Those youngsters are saying out there when they're talking to you So you don't have to worry about someone being suss around you. Plus, when they use boozy, you can tell them. That's Jeffie's word from chewing the fat and use it correctly. Now, those of you that were concerned about the potential serial killer on the loose in Los Angeles, I know, I know. Some people that were unhoused were killed, according to.

And then there was another person that was killed as well. But, no, they have arrested. the guy, well, at least, you know, allegedly. They've arrested a guy that's allegedly the murderer of these people in Los Angeles. They believe that the man they arrested is connected to all three homicides. He was driving the same vehicle. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Beverly Hills Police Department conducted a traffic stop of this guy Wednesday night. And he was arrested early Thursday. So apparently his vehicle was tracked down by one of the city's automatic license plate scanners. Man, how much do you love those? Well, I mean, you certainly

do for your safety because according to the police department, if we didn't enter that plate into the system, this individual would be responsible for at least four more murders. It would have been out there and re-offended. So you just never know. Oh, okay. And they recovered a hand gun in his vehicle that was the same weapon used in the three killings. So the first homeless person, it's funny in this story they call them both. The police report says homeless killing occurred. And then one of the murders, he followed a guy home from his, his guy was charging his electric vehicle, followed him home and killed him at his house.

Just incredible, so sad. And I'm glad that he's off the streets, no question. but in this same story, then they call them on housed as well. So I think we're torn in California, whether someone is homeless or just unhoused. Now, someone who is housed in California, the Madam Catherine Fortune Teller in Longwood, California, she had a car crash into her house or her, you know, psychic shop.

while she was giving a reading. So you'd think, I mean, everybody's okay. So I'm guessing she thought she knew that it was coming. She said the car crashed into the Longwood Psychic Shop after the driver had a medical episode. Doesn't say what kind of medical episode the driver had. So don't look at me like that. And the fire official sent the car crashed into the living room area of the Madam Catherine Fortune telling along U.S. Highway 7. The driver was taken to the hospital as a trauma alert for a seizure.

And also, one other patient was taken to the hospital with minor injuries after being struck by debris. Yeah, that's the guy or the girl getting the card reading. Everything okay? No, everything is not okay. Some of that debris hit me. I need to go to the hospital. That's a good plan. That's someone that listens to chewing the fat. Anytime there's any kind of accident.

You do not say you're fine. You go to the hospital because now it's on record that you were hit by some of that debris while you were getting the cards read at Madam Catherine's fortune-telling home. And there's an insurance case for sure in your favor. It says so in the cards. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Congratulations to Andre 3000s. I swear I really wanted to make a rap album, but this is literally the way the wind blew me this time. It is 12 minutes and 20 seconds long and it enters the Hot 100, Billboard's Hot 100, at number 90.

It is the longest running track to hit Billboard's Hot 100. It breaks tools, fear, innocuum at 1021. So congratulations to him. There's still a bunch of of them. I mean, Taylor Swift's, her stupid song, all too well is still on the charts, I think. That's 10 minutes and 13 seconds long. David Bowie's Black Star, which was just under 10 minutes.

That peaked, I think, at 78 or. and debuted at 78. Harry Chapin's, a better place to be, parts one and two was nine minutes and 30 seconds back in 76. That peaked at

number 86. So there's been some long songs on the Hot 100, but this one is brand spanking new. And Andre 3000 and Big Boy? Chartered 19 how 100 hits in 1994 to 2007, including three number ones. But now this is his seventh solo hit.

And congratulations, I think this is, I think that's his seventh solo hit, right? Anyway, it's in there. I swear I really wanted to make a rap album. But this is literally the way the wind blew me this time, this time. Andre 3000. And it is, I mean, holy cow. it is so right it's got 5.8 million official streams already I mean riveting so good actually it's not too bad I don't know if I can take 12 minutes of it but it's not too bad I'm not taking 12 minutes of it of your time I'll tell you that

let's say you wanted to listen to all 12 minutes of of Andre 3000, but you didn't want anyone to know that you were listening to Andre 3000 and his I swear I really wanted to make a rap album but this was literally the way the wind blew me this time.

It's been reported that Walmart revealed it's going to stop advertising on X. We heard what's his face, Eiger, talk about stop advertising on X, but he kind of was a little wishy-washy on, well, I haven't revisited it. And, you know, so I feel like he's,

he left the door open to still go back to advertise. Sure sounded like he was going to go back to advertising on X. Now, I was looking at a Twitter her account this at Terrible 808 that's that's the account she's they had a list and I say she I'm guessing Terrible 808 is a she I don't know that I don't know what Terra identifies as so we'll just leave it as at Terrible 808 they had a list of companies pulling their ads from X

and you know Apple Disney Washington Post paramount NBC Marvel IBM Sony pictures CBS the Colbert show. He's not even working. All right, he's off. He's got some body thing wrong with him. Good riddance. What's wrong? I forget now what's wrong with him.

Oh, yeah. He said a ruptured appendix. He made a big deal. He was taken at least a week off with his ruptured appendix. Boy, if he is Cobre, man. If he doesn't have COVID, now he's got a ruptured appendix. So anyway, he's not even on. What are we worried about his stupid show advertising for?

Comcast, Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, discovery. Now, if that's true, good luck for them to stick. I mean, they're going to come back. They're going to come back. They have to. No matter how much they hate Elon, the fire pit of X will destroy them. So, yeah, you heard me. The fire pit of X will destroy these companies. So good luck. Good luck. God bless to all you companies that think, you know, boycotting X is going to have. help you because it just isn't. I mean, even Jeff Bezos has kind of given in to Elon. And I was looking at the story and I thought, man, he has got to hate this.

So this headline is Amazon to use SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets to deploy the first batch of its space-based internet satellites. so Amazon is having their own space-based internet satellites. Sounds an awful lot like, I don't know, Starlink, you know, from SpaceX that Elon has that's already, I don't know, orbiting the globe, 8 billion satellites. So now Amazon is going to have their 8 billion satellites orbiting the globe because he has to keep up with Elon, but he has to do it using Elon's products. I bet you Jeff Bezos is really unhappy about that.

Another person that's unhappy behind the scenes. Everyone will be happy in front of the cameras is Beyonce. Her Renaissance tour, Top the Box Office, her concert film, Top the Box Office, this past weekend with $21 million in North America opening weekend. That was great. It's still a huge, huge get. It's the first time in two decades that a movie grossed more than $20 million. the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I mean, we've found a way to make it great. But I believe Taylor Swift, her opening weekend was something like $92.8 million. So, Beyonce, you can smile and say you're happy. I know your concert film is the first movie in two decades. you know that gross $20 million the weekend after Thanksgiving but you are not Taylor Swift

so I know I know and you didn't want to be you don't want to be it's okay you're your own self Queen Bee and you be you Marshall's buyers travel far and wide hustling for great deals on amazing gifts

so you don't have to they've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags designer Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest. Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Rushes too.

And hustled all those wishless topping toys. So plush. Our buyers have got you covered. Marshals. We get the deals. You gift the good stuff. Who died today? Who died today?

Jacqueline Elmquist, age 24. Rest in peace. Now, she was found at the bottom of a trash shoot of her building in New York. Police say that foul play is not suspected. So we don't know. How she ended up in the bottom of the garbage compactor down the trash shoot at 540 West 28th Street in New York City. But we do know that she died having fallen fall. down the garbage shoot.

So, rest in peace, Jacqueline Elmquist. And remember, when you're out there partying and having a good time, I'm not saying she was, I'm just saying that there were that this woman was trying various doors along the street before getting into a yellow cab outside of a steakhouse, and then she did not return home

and didn't show up for work. and then the super found her at the bottom of the garbage chute. So I don't know how it happened, but according to police, there's no foul play suspected. There you have it. Rest in peace. Jacqueline Elmquist. Now, I read this story. The fantastic story, this could not, I wish my dad was this guy.

Now, this girl who's telling the story doesn't want this guy. to be your dad, but I do. In March of 2021, this man Thomas Randell was dying of lung cancer. And he had a secret. And he made this stunning, well, it's not really a deathbed confession since he was still alive, but he was dying of cancer. And he was a fugitive for more than 50 years. So when he was 20 years old, he robbed an Ohio bank of 200,000. $215,000. You know, back in the 70s, $215,000 was actual money.

I mean, I'd be willing to take $215,000 right now and be fine with it, but it wasn't what it was back in the 70s. So he told his daughter, I want to tell you something. I'm here at my chemotherapy session,

and I just want to not let you know that I'm a fugitive, and I've benefited it for five decades. So I just want to let you know that. I love you, but I am, you know, wanted by the feds. And you don't need to worry about looking into it. Don't worry about it. Just know that, you know, everything's okay.

Well, of course she does. And she finds out that, oh, my gosh, that's my dad. Thomas Randall, you know, he was a car salesman, country. Club Golf Pro, adored his wife, only child, doted on her, did all the right things, watched TV with them, watched all the shows, would not ever travel out of the country, made a big deal about that.

But way back in Cleveland, he was Ted Conrad, the elusive bank robber, barely out of his teens, pulled one of the largest heists in Ohio history. So the $215,000 back then is worth like 1.7 million today. And he had his boyish face,

was plastered all over, wanted posters. He always, as an adult, had a beard, wore a cap when they went out in public. And so now, of course, the daughter, who is now a co-host of a new podcast on her father and what drove him to rob a bank. So she compared him to, with D.B. Cooper, who parachuted out of a plane with a couple hundred thousand dollars in cash back in

1971. And it's, you know, his theft sounded more like a movie. He said that, uh, he showed up for work as a teller at the Society National Bank in Cleveland. It's a Friday and his birthday weekend. He bought a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cigarettes during his break. At the end of the day, he went into the vault, stuffed $215,000 into a paper bag, walked away from his old life. Nice. And since it was on a Friday, the bank didn't even know it was missing until Monday. So then he sent a letter to his girlfriend. How much, you know, I love you and I miss you. But we'll talk to you later.

And then the case went cold. Now, he said he chose the name Thomas because he loved the Thomas Crown Affair, the 1968 Steve McQueen film about dashing millionaire businessman who robs a Boston bank for fun. And he was, you know, starting a new life. in Massachusetts, just in a suburb north of Boston, the city where the film was set. So I guess after he told the daughter, then the daughter tells the mom, and then the mom and everybody's all upset, and they didn't want them to go to jail. So they kept a secret.

I mean, they could actually go to jail for, you know, aiding and abetting and whatever else the feds wanted to attack on. But they didn't. And the mom said, we love you. much. It doesn't change that we love you, but we do need to talk about it. Now, that's why he didn't tell anyone, because he didn't want to talk about it, okay? So I may have to try to reach out and talk to her, her new podcast, Smokescreen, my fugitive dad, she discusses her struggle, caring for a dying father while grappling with confusion over unwittingly living a life of lies. Well, it really wasn't a, he was the only one living the life of a lie.

nothing he loved you he did everything with you he just didn't want to get caught so the daughter and the mom i guess made a pact to spend one year grieving the man they'd lost before sharing his secret with investigators now they were they had agreed to notify police in june of 2022 by federal authorities showed up at the door in november of 2021 u.s marshals showed up unannounced at the Randall's door, and the marshals reassured her and her mother that they would not face charges. They turns out, they said, you know why we're here. And, of course, you know, they did. I guess some people, when he died, sent his picture to the feds and said, here's your guy. That's him. And they were right. That was him.

So a fascinating story. This guy, 50 years on the lamb. after he used the $215,000 to start a new life. And good for him. Good for him. The guy, the U.S. Marshal, who finally arrested him, said, you know, the guy, the one U.S. Marshal, wasted years chasing down faults, leads around the country, and missing baseball games, and was angry that Conrad had stolen money.

It would have taken him many years to earn as a federal. officer. So some people portrayed Conrad as a Robin Hood and my dad called him nothing but a thief. That's what he was. He wasn't a Robin Hood. He was a thief. Robin Hood would have handed the money out and helped other people. That was, you know, plus Robin Hood stole from the king. You can make the case that the bank was the king. But, uh, so anyway, a fascinating story. And they got away with it. And you could do, did he? Yeah, he did. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay.

Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. So that's it, championship weekend. Happened this past weekend. Wow, a lot of fun games were had and enjoyed every single one of them, no matter how bad or how good they were. it was fantastic.

And now we're headed into bowl season. There are 43 total college football games coming up in the next month or so. The first one, I believe, is the 16th of December, the Bahamas Bowl, which is the first game of the bowl season. So that'll be fun. That's in Nassau Bahamas. And it will be the Cal Golden Bears and the Texas Tech Raiders. But really, the only bowl games that we care about. start on December 29th when my Missouri Tigers take on the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Cotton Bowl

in Dallas, Texas, that AT&T Stadium. And I'm looking, probably will be at that game, looking forward to it. I don't know, that'll be a fun game. As much as I detest the state of Ohio, Ohio State's got a pretty good team. That's the only time you're going to hear me say that. So it's going to be tough. It'll be a fun game. hopefully we'll win that game.

And then, of course, there's a few other good ball games. Florida State and Georgia in the Orange Bowl on December 30th, that will be a great game. Will the players play in those games? I mean, players that are ready to, you know, get hit the draft, I don't know. I don't know what happens. They're both bummed that they're not in the playoffs, and I don't really blame them.

Then you have, on January 1st, of course, you have the Rose Bowl with Michigan and Alabama, which will be a great game. And then Washington and Texas, another great game. Those are the playoff semi-final games. And then the bowl game before those two is Oregon and Liberty, which should be a great game. Oregon should crush Liberty.

But you never know. You never, never know. And then January 8th will be the college football championship at NRG Stadium in Houston. That will either be Michigan taking on, Washington or Texas or Washington or Texas taking on Alabama or Michigan. And so either one, I mean, the win, as you put it this way, the championship game will be the winners of Michigan and Alabama,

taking on the winners of Washington and Texas. And so it'll probably be Alabama, Texas. That's my call. You'll have a rematch of Alabama and Texas, both with one loss, and they get to, you know, Alabama will be Texas, and then that'll be it. Texas will have two losses, and the proof will be in the pudding.

I don't know that, though. I'm just a guess off the top of my head right now. I know Florida State fans are pissed. They're not in the playoffs, and I don't believe them. That's why they should have had, I said all along, I posted on my YouTube, I posted on my ex. They should have made the College Bowl Commission or whatever the hell they're.

call themselves over here in Grapevine, Texas at the Gaylord, should have done a special six-game playoff. Just, next year's 12 games, they should have said, hey, we've got six teams this year that are superb, and we can't make a choice. So what we're going to do is we're going to have a special six-game playoffs. Okay. So then you would have added Florida State and Georgia to the playoff round,

and then you would have had all six teams and every week. one would have been happy. But nope, you didn't do that. That made too much sense. You just had to let it fight out. And heaven forbid, you don't have it, so you can't have a fight. I know. I did love the story where before the Big 12 championship game this weekend, the University of Texas and Oklahoma State University. And I mean, Texas obviously won that game. A Longhorn was discovered mutilated in front of a fraternity house. in Stillwater, Oklahoma. So the body of a steer was discovered about 6.30 a.m. in front of the university's farmhouse fraternity house, with his stomach ripped open and an expletive scrawled on its side. I never saw what it actually said. The authorities removed the animal from the area,

and Stillwater police are still investigating the situation. Now, I shouldn't like this as much as I do. I really do. I know that it's a steer carcass, and OSU is appalled by the disturbing display of animal cruelty that occurred overnight. Are you? Okay. And Stillwater PD is investigating the incident along with the University's Office of Student Support and conduct.

Look, there's cameras everywhere. It's going to be lucky to get away with it. They're going to be lucky to get away with it. Whoever did it is going to be lucky to get away with it. No question. Now, apparently, the farmhouse group, they claim no member. was involved in the incident, and we do not condone cruelty

or defacing livestock in any manner. So I kind of feel like they might be responsible. That's just me. They're out there saying, they might be responsible. They killed the Longhorn saying, we're going to win, and we'll just leave it out in front with it,

and that's our way of saying, we hate Texas. So we'll see. We'll see what actually happens. Now, they claim, we had nothing to do with it, and we, a poor, We don't condone cruelty or defacing livestock in any manner.

So we'll see. We'll see. But I feel like we're going to find out that the old farmhouse fraternity, someone in the old farmhouse fraternity house, was responsible. That's just me. Oh, as long as we're talking about sports. XFL and USFL merger has been finalized and approved. So the XFL will retain four teams, Arlington Renegades, D.C. defenders, and San Antonio

Bramos, St. Louis Battlehawks. USFL will retain four teams. Birmingham Stallions, Houston Gamblers, Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers. Okay, and then I guess that's what we get. So we've got those eight teams. And I guess the four teams in the USFL and the XFL will then, you know, play each other. and then play against the winners of each side for the championship. I guess.

I don't know what they're going to do. It's more of an NFL feeding ground anyway, and so we'll see how well it works out in the end. But hey, congratulations to the XFL and the USFL merger. You guys did it. Yay. Oh, did you see where Mike Tyson is facing pre-litigation settlement demand? Remember when they got the fight in the airplane?

This was back in 2022. Tyson was caught on camera, I guess, beating up a passenger. I don't know. The passenger was a pain in the ass and deserved it. But the guy's Mike Tyson, so he probably shouldn't have done it. However, the man has got a pre-litigation settlement demand for $450,000. The man says his life has been hard since the incident. And he has had to deal with severe headache and neck pain.

And is still suffering with the effects. of the assault to this day, are you? And I'm sure that you didn't have to deal with a headache and neck pain before then, did you? So according to this, his lawyers say he lost several jobs because of the incident and can't pay for ongoing medical care. Tyson's lawyers say, ah, this is just a shakedown, and Tyson released a letter saying I received a shakedown letter, and there will be no shakedown payment. So the fight still continues. We'll see if Mike has to pay any money to this Melvin Townsend, but he certainly will not pay any pre-litigation settlement demand.

Okay, I saw this story this weekend. I thought I'd share with you. It's something we all have to try. Okay, we have. I personally know that I have to try this, all right? So the story starts with, I went to the grocery store shopping at Walmart earlier today, so I went to the Walmart grocery store and got some chicken legs. Right before the young.

lady rang them up and this has got to be an older story because there's very few young ladies ringing people up at walmarts anymore that's uh anyway so anyway so you go to the grocery store doesn't have to be a walmart you go to the grocery store and you get some chicken and you get some chicken legs so right before the young lady rings them up i asked if she knew if they were the front or the back legs and she paused for a moment read everything she could on the package not finding the answer. She's then said, I don't know. Let me go ask my manager. That would be so good. Right then, you've already won. You've already won the bit. Do you know if these are front legs or back legs? She's already, you've already won the bit with her continuing to read and look at the

package. So now she's going to go ask her manager even better. So I let her go. She came back a couple minutes later, looked at me and said, not funny. I said, sorry, but for me it was. And the guy standing behind me said, for me, it was good too. So I have to, I have to try that. I have to remember that. I just have to go in and get chicken legs and ask the cashier, Do you know if these are front or the back legs?

Awesome. Even the best part is if she goes and asks the manager, but you've already won if she actually reads the package. Tremendous. Have to try that. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
