And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Whatever you do, don't type these six words into your computer or your search engine. If you type in, according to cybersecurity company, SOFOS, SOPHOS, they have issued an urgent warning, urgent warning on its website, asking people not to type six words into their search engines. are Bengal cats legal in Australia? Oh my gosh. Now it says in the story, are Bengal cats legal in Australia with a question mark? So I don't know if you type in

our Bengal cats legal in Australia without the question mark, if you'll be hacked or not. But, you know, I'm not going to try it. Victims they claim are enticed into clicking on the malicious adware or links disguised as legitimate marketing, or in this case, a legitimate Google search.

At present, the dangerous links only appear in search results with the word Australia. So don't search for anything with Australia at the end. Maybe say the world. Maybe say country down under. Don't say at the actual country, Australia. And this might happen. I mean, I could do it easily when, you know, looking up stories.

I just type searches to find different stories and different links. And it could happen. So cybercriminals are increasingly infiltrating innocuous Google searches by using a tactic known as CO poisoning, SEO poisoning. Oh, okay. It's described as an insidious technique in which criminals manipulate search engine results to push websites they control to the top of the page. Sofos urges those who believe they may have been a victim of the C.

poisoning to alter their passwords as soon as possible. And whatever you do, do not type into your search engine, are Bengal cats legal in Australia? Welcome! That's what they say. Don't look at me. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Last week in South Carolina, we had 43 Monk,

escape the Alpha Genesis Lab in Yemisee, South Carolina. That's the Castle Rock Road facility. And we were told to, well, the residents of the area were told to lock your doors, close your windows, and report sightings of any of the monkeys. And we were told that there's no health issues with the monkeys. So you're fine. no, there's no threat to public health. Uh-huh.

And that the monkeys were very young females, you know, roughly weighing six or seven pounds. People have been filming them out in the woods. We were told that they were playfully exploring the perimeter fence of the facility while also engaging with others inside by cooing to them. Yeah, they were saying, look at us. We're out here and you're not. Well, rest easy.

The authorities are on it. One of the 43 monkeys have been, No, it's been recaptured. So, uh, we're there. Where it's okay. One of them. So there's 42 still out wandering around. At least we think there's 42.

I guess they know better than to go into the traps they claim to have set. I guess, uh, the thermal imaging drones aren't quite working as well as they thought. And, uh, I don't know that anyone has actually, I mean, if you had a few of these monkeys in your yard and you went out back and said, here, little monkey, here, little monkey. You gave them the gun-cocking warning to get out of there, and they didn't get out of there. And so you took it upon yourself to, would you tell anyone? I mean, I would not. I would just end it and bury it.

So, I mean, do we still believe that there's 42 of these primates on the loose in South Carolina? So heads up, and they're on it. Man, authorities and Alpha Genesis are on top of it, and they are going to get these primates back to the facility as soon as, I mean, they're busy trapping them and finding them and they're playing outside the fencing of Alpha Genesis, so everything is fine. I guess they're all females and they're all about the size of a cat. Uh-huh. And again, I want to be clear, they pose no risk to public health. So you're fine. But just to be safe, keep your windows closed and your door is locked. Okay? Now, those of you in New York, Hollywood, South Florida, you can still leave your windows open and your doors unlocked for now.

Sean Diddy Combs is still in jail. However, he has filed a new request for bail saying changed circumstances along with new evidence, and they're trying to get the mogul out of jail on bail. Oh, okay. So they've filed new pay. paperwork that the request bail for the, you know, the superstar mogul, proposing more robust bail package that would subject the entertainer to strict around-the-clock security monitoring, which he has in jail, by the way, and near total restrictions on his ability to contact anyone

but his lawyers, which he has in jail, by the way. But the amount of money they attach to the package remains $50 million, as they proposed before now innocent before proven guilty he has pled not guilty and he has uh you know they he has been he's been charged with uh that he coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence including kidnapping arson and physical beatings and he's awaiting trial may 5th at the federal detention facility in brooklyn so for now in hollywood and new york York and South Florida, you can keep your doors unlocked and your windows open.

But you never know. They may give Diddy bail, and then you might want to consider, you know, locking those doors and keeping your windows closed. Oh, okay. I guess they're saying the jail conditions. I mean, it's just unthinkable for someone like Diddy. He just can't do it anymore. This is ridiculous.

And I don't know that I blame them. I mean, I'd want to get the hell out of there, too. but with all the allegations, I feel like the judge is going to go, no, you know what? No, but they continue to say that the government's case is thin. They have evidence that refutes the government's claim. Okay.

I mean, the beating of his girlfriend, I don't think that's even part of the case. That just shows what kind of person he was, right? So the girlfriend said that she was coerced in the, freak-off parties, which is the sexually driven event described in the indictment against Combs. Yeah, they were all part of that. And all the people that were, you know, having their pictures taken with Diddy and happy to be with Diddy, where are they now? Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games. wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653310 or visit Commexonterio.ca. You know, speaking of search engines

and not being able to type words into search engines without the possibility of being hacked, I see stories now where the number of searches by U.S. students looking for back. bachelor's and master's degrees abroad increased more than five times following the election of Donald Trump. I'm sorry, following the Tuesday's election. They don't want to mention Donald Trump, Donald Trump's name in the story. Yeah. Huh.

Weird. Maybe they should type in Australia. I don't work. No problem. Then we also found out, according to Visa Guide World, and I'm a huge fan of Visa Guide World, Google searches jumped to 1,514% because they wanted people or were searching to abroad. And they wanted to find out, how do I get a legal visa to move to European countries? Well, you don't have to.

If you're such a big deal about the United States and immigration, why are you asking? Just go. Just go. They'll let you in, won't they? Of course they will. 1,514% increase. So let's see. Traffic for immigration related pages on the site grew 338%.

And then they had specific locales. UK, 375%, 35% about Ireland. Scandinavia also appeared to say, hey, come here. Norway seeing 437% more attention. Germanyvisa.org, love that. saw a 336% increase in traffic on immigration pages. Just go. Just travel over there.

You're good. I know that the Germany, the one card, the opportunity card, I think they call it, and I don't know that that's the official name of it. That allows anyone from a non-European Union country to live in Germany for up to one year to find work. Go. Have a nice day. Take it. No one is stopping you.

No one is stopping. Oh, uh-oh. Uh-oh, though. These people might have their computers shut down by the hackers because based on search data, the most popular countries that Americans consider moving to include Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Oh, boy, be careful when you're typing in search questions about Australia

because that might be the hackers' website. Costa Rica and Mexico also ranked among those looking to flee the states. Just go. Just go. Oh, that's all I'm saying. You don't have to worry about immigration or following laws because you're for it. You're for the illegals just come across our border all you want. That's what you're for.

So just go to other countries and do the same thing. Am I right? Yeah, I am. And also sad news about George Clooney. George, he feels like he's being used as a scapegoat in a furious blame game over who could have caused Kamahiris the election. And now he's going to take a step back from politics. Oh no.

Oh no. George says isn't so. He said that he threw his support behind Harris after penning the op-ed of why Joe Biden could cause the Democrats the win. He didn't abandon the campaign. And it still

wasn't enough to stop Donald Trump. So the Democrats are saying hey, it's your fault. that Harris laws because you said Trump couldn't be president. He was bad. George says it's completely unfair. That's right.

Make him escape go for her laws. That wasn't me. I didn't, I was behind Kamala. I got to take a step back. I got to stay, I didn't say anything bad about Joe Biden. I didn't. I didn't. I just said it.

We needed to step down. That's all. That's all I said. I didn't say he wasn't, he should have done it earlier. I didn't say bad things about Kamala. I backed her and I said it was a historic quest. So don't blame me. It's not my fault.

It's not my wife's fault. I've got to take a step back from politics because they're blaming me. And they shouldn't blame me at all. Okay. All right. Easy, George. Take it easy. All right.

if you're going to back away, back away. We don't want you here to begin with. So you raised millions of dollars for Joe Biden at that stupid fundraiser in L.A. By the way, what happened to the story about the Secret Service agent that had the shootout and the bag was everywhere? We never did hit a follow-up on that story. Interesting how that story just went away. I still remember it, though.

And I'm fascinated to know what became of that Secret Service agent, why the Secret Service agent was where the Secret Service agent was, and this all happened while they were all at the big fundraiser for Biden, Obama, and George Clooney was there. I bet you they had massive security. Why was this lone Secret Service agent off at another place in California doing some kind of deal and getting a shootout? That just went away. We just, poof.

I'm not even worried about that anymore. Huh. Okay. Is that George's fault, too? Oh, no. can't be. I mean, I put my voice on one of the ads for Kamala. I even got my friend Julia Robbins to put her voice on one of the ads for Kamala.

And we all did. We tailor, Beyonce, Bruce, Will and Arnold, we were all there. It's not just my fault, okay? Don't believe it on me. You guys are making it mean to me. I'm George Cludey. I'm an actor

And I give stuff to stuff And you can't do that to me Because I'm George Clooney So I'm just going to take a step back From politics now Okay Yeah, you do that George You do that

And Donald Trump is already making appointments He's already working He's already got world leaders backing off What they had said before He's got everybody kind of shaken in their boots Because they know there's a new sheriff in town Now, I will say this. I hope that we can keep him safe.

They've already tried to kill him twice. We saw footage of robot dogs, the Boston Dynamic robot dogs around Marlago. They should build another fence. We should have another wall around Marlago and keep that man safe. There's no question about that. That needs to happen because, I mean, he's at the Southern White House right now. Why move him back into the White House? I mean, that's just, that's a dump compared to Marlago.

I mean, sure, get Biden out. Get Jill and Joe out. Get, what's her face? Kamala out of the vice president's residence so JD can move in. But, and then just make the White House a special meeting place once a month or so. And keep Marlago as the Southern White House and just do business down there. And it'll be much better. But keep him safe, for sure.

Keep the man safe. I love the Boston Dynamics dogs. They should have more. I only saw one picture I saw was one. I don't know how many they have. I hope they have a bunch. They just surround Mar-Lago with Boston Dynamic robot dogs and all just rode up around the property

with everyone having a camera and their flame throwers on. Let's do that as well. Because it said the robot dog made by Boston Dynamics is equipped with a large warning sign on the side of the robotic dog reads, do not pet. Who is petting the robotic dog? Okay.

If you are showing up at Marlago and you, oh, look, that cute little robotic dog. Come here, who's a cute little robotic dog? And you want to pet it? I hope. No, I don't. I don't want to say that the dog should use his flame thrower on you. But I'm saying that you perhaps deserve the dog,

deserve to have the dog fire his flamethrower at you. I don't want it to happen. Okay, that'd be mean. That'd be wrong. But if you are, if you show up anywhere, as a matter of fact, whether it be Marlago or anywhere that's being protected by the robot dogs and you want to, who's a cute little

puppy? Come here. Perhaps you deserve what you get. Alright, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink desperately. All right, thank you for subscribing to Chewing the Fat.

Shopblazmedia.com. Okay. Let's get down to Yellowstone recap. Okay? Season 5, part two. And episode one was last night. Now, I don't know if you've seen it or not. I'm going to give you this as spoilers.

So if you don't want spoilers to the Yellowstone season, that is now back without Kevin Costner, then stop listening or fast forward because I've got to talk about it. I have to talk about it today. It aired last night. And you know me. I mean, I watched it and I enjoyed it. But I will say the first, I don't know, the first 10 minutes,

I had to pause a couple times and say, no way that's real. I'm sorry, that just wouldn't happen. So you know what? I won't give you, I'll give you spoilers without giving you actual spoiler details. Okay, I'm going to be nice today. But I don't know how long that's going to last.

So you're welcome. But I will say, I enjoyed the episode. Taylor Sharon again was in the episode. Interesting how Taylor was shooting himself at another property that I think he owns. So we had, we had footage of Yellowstone, Yellowstone, obviously. We had footage of the 666, the 4-6's ranch. And we had footage of. of another ranch where Taylor was that he owns.

So I don't know how he's paying for him. Because everything is getting filmed on his properties. I mean, that's just a genius idea. And I will say that he pitt the first 10 minutes of the show pissed me off. Because I was like, there's no way that that could be true. No way. No way. The man would not, because remember, Costner's not there anymore.

So they've got to either kill him off. or they have to, you know, send him away to where he's not on the show anymore and the kids are going to have to fight amongst themselves. I jokingly thought, you know, hey, send him out to the mountains of Montana with the Indians and he could, every once in a while you see a puff of smoke out in the woods and you say, yep, there's dad. And once in a while, you know, once his face comes back, Rip comes back and says, yeah, I saw your father, he's okay, still alive, he's out there, he's out there

in the back 2,000 acres, and he's living on a little pond that he loves so much, something like that. Either do that, or you're going to have to kill him off. Now, they tried to kill him off earlier in a earlier season, and that didn't work, okay? So the way that it happens in this episode, there's no way that could be true.

Now, we find out later that it isn't true, which is good, because I was so pissed. I was like, Taylor, are you that pissed at Kossner for, not coming back for this season, that you're going to leave it like that and you're going to, you want us to believe that this is how the man died? No, that would not happen. It would just wouldn't. It just wouldn't. He wouldn't do that. So anyway, and then we find out later that that that's absolutely correct that he wouldn't do that. Well, I was really pissed. The first 10 minutes of that show last night. Taylor, it's a good thing. I didn't have your phone number

because I would have been texting you the first 10 minutes of the show saying, dude, what are you doing? And then he would have texted back. Just continue watching, Fat Man, shut up. I said, okay, Taylor, thanks. But I was pissed in the first dead minutes because there was just no way that that could be true. And fortunately, I was correct. So on Friday, an amazing event happened,

and I don't know if it was to honor Yellowstone coming back, or if it was college football or NFL football. I don't know. I'm not sure what they were celebrating. But the bells of Notre Dame in Paris, hang out together on Friday for the first time since the 2019 fire that devastated the cathedral. And so for the first time since the catastrophic fire, the ringing of the bells featured eight restored bells chiming together with the introduction of three new bells, including

one from the Paris 2024 Olympics. And just how beautiful and what a wonderful thing that was. and is. It gets better. Okay, more bells. Close-up of the bell. Oh, more bells. Look at that.

There they go. They're all together. Put your earphones in, I mean, your ear pieces in. You could not be in that room. Holy cow. You could not be in that room. Our iconic bells of Notre Dame. I'm sorry, Notre Dame.

Isn't that beautiful? Oh, yes. And then we wind it down. How would you like to hear that live in the neighborhood 12 times a day or how many ever times they normally do it? I don't know. I don't know what the ringing of the bells. Is it just every Sunday? Is it twice a day?

Is it just once a day? Is it just? I don't know what the time frame is on the ringing of the bells. But they finally tested it because they're excited about they're having a big reopening party of Notre Dame on December 7th and 8th. full of weekend ceremonies marking the reopening of the cathedral. And they were just overcome with joy. And after hearing the bells chiming, each bell was already sound-checked individually,

by which of that was fun. The heaviest bell, called Gabriel, weighs over four tons. The lightest, Jean-Marie, weighs 800 kilograms. I don't know that I saw that in the video. I don't know that I saw genre in the video that kept showing me a couple of the bigger ones. But there's no scheduled rundown of what's going to happen

at the event on the weekend of the 7th and 8th, but it'll be overwhelming. And they're expected to welcome 14 to 15 million visitors. Well, that's for the year, you know, after the reopening. I don't know how many are going to be there for the actual party on December 7th and 8th. But what a party it will be. And we'll be able to hear the bells once again.

It's interesting to me. I don't know. Remember in the old days when the churches would ring their bells every Sunday? I don't hear that often anymore. And maybe it's just because the church, the couple churches that live close to, I don't know that they have bells. I don't hear them. I don't hear them. And there were some churches back in the day that would ring the bell every day at noon or whatever.

And then Sunday, of course, when service would start. And I don't live near any churches that do that for sure. anymore. Maybe people got pissed. You want to knock off? Yeah, church is starting. We got it. But you want to knock off that bell sound? It's a church. 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. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Elwood Edwards.

Elwood Edwards, dead at the age of 74 after a long illness. You remember Elwood for... You've got mail. That's right. Elwood Edwards, the voice of... You've got mail. Incredible. He said he also left recording for his wife's company with...

with welcome, files done, and goodbye. He put it on a cassette tape for $200. And then it became the iconic, you've got mail. And AOL still exists. So, I mean, you're still hearing, you're still hearing Earl Elwood with your AOL account. Really funny, the story, at least it was to me. His wife, he was doing radio at WKYC,

Ohio News Station. and he said my wife worked for quantum computer services, which later became AOL. And the company was looking to add a voice to its software. I'd been an announcer, and she volunteered me. And that's the way it works. And now, and then it became legendary, right? You've got mail.

So Elwood Edwards dead at the age of 74. Then we have Tony Todd. Tony Todd. So sad. Tony Todd dead at the age of 69. I remember him in Candyman. He was, he had 240 film and TV critics. When you look at him, you'll go, oh, yeah, Tony Todd.

I mean, he was the voice of so many things. And just really sad. He appeared in Platoon and Final Destination, X-Files, and Law and Orders and all those shows. I mean, just, but his real work in Transformers and Call of Duty was iconic. and I mean he's just his his work in a horror I just really sad that Tony Todd had passed away has passed away at the age of 69 rest in peace it never said in any of the stories that I saw

what the cause of death was so we're left with our own imagination rest in peace to Tony Todd dead at the age of 69. Then we have Judith Jameson. Judith Jameson, the transcendent dancer and artistic director of

Elvin Ailey's company, dies at the age of 81. Judith, an internationally acclaimed dancer who later served as artistic director for the American Dance Theater, the Elvin Ailey American Dance Theater for two decades has passed away after

a brief illness surrounded by close friends. What, a brief illness? Wow. So rest in peace to Judith Jameson, dead at the age of 81. Then the hits keep coming. We have Bobby Allison, one of the all-time great NASCAR drivers. Bobby Allison, dead at the age of 86. I mean, when he was a NASCAR driver, back when NASCAR was NASCAR, damn it. Bobby Allison won 85 NASCAR races over an almost three-decade career. I mean, he was the most celebrated stock car driver of all time. It was incredible.

His name was everywhere. He was 86. So he lost both his sons to do two tragic NASCAR incidents. And his own career ended after a nearly fatal track crash in 1988. Yeah, I mean, those days, you don't get those days back. But, I mean, he won races all over the country. And he was born in Miami, Florida. Robert Arthur Ellison, Bobby Allison, dead.

the age of 86. Rest and peace, Bobby Allison. Then I guess rest and peace to Edwards County Circuit Judge Michael Joseph Valentine, born in Chicago, Illinois, on the 14th of April, 1981. He was shot and killed in front of his home by his wife, Megan Valentine. And she was arrested after the body of the judge was found outside of home. she was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery with a firearm, and aggravated domestic battery,

according to court documents filed in Edwards County Thursday. So upon arrival, they found the body of him laying outside the residence. And Megan was then taken into custody, and no other details were given. So they had to charge her. Now, did he, is he, I will say, every story that I started to read about this brings up the fact that if you or you know anyone that needs help with domestic violence, here's the hotline to call 24-7, and the number is 800799 safe, and you can confidential support 24-7-365.

You can also text the word start to 888-7-88. So, I don't know, was she beating up him? Was he beaten up her? It would be fascinating to follow this story. see if the judge was actually the wife beater or the wife was the beater. Now, odds are, I know, the odds are he was, you know, beating her. But we shall see. Of course, everyone said that he was a compassionate, a distinguished jurist who was

determined in the pursuit of justice and his compassion and conduct earned him the confidence and respect of other people who appeared before him. Uh-huh. He would be sorely missed. Uh-huh. Okay. At least, you know, we got that out of the way from the office. So I guess rest in peace to Judge Michael J. Valentine's second judicial circuit court in Illinois,

Michael J. Valentine. Dead at the age of, I guess, 44, 43, 44. She's 44, an older woman. Yeah. So she had to be older. If they're saying she's 44 and he was born in April of 81. So she was the older woman. We'll see.

We'll see. I'd be fascinated to find out if this charge was just because she was sitting on the front porch with the gun in her hand saying, yeah, I killed the bastard. It'd be interesting to finally find out if the judge was actually this fine, upstanding jurist that they claim. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

See app for details. So I know, I mean, I could just spend the day talking about sports. Maybe I should just do a separate sports podcast somewhere. I mean, people have been after myself and Pat and Stu, Keith, to do one just on sports. We should just do one because this season has been incredible. College, NFL has just been awesome. And other sports as well, I mean, I get it.

And we could do a show. I would love to do a show just about college football or just about NFL and college football, maybe do one that bleeds into each other, but I love it, and we could talk about it forever. And I know many of you don't care, and I get it, I really do. But it just, you know, it's such a fantastic sport.

And this year, between college and NFL, there have been some tremendous games, and they're so fun to watch. Ripped their heart out, really. I mean, Missouri pulled it out in the last few seconds this weekend. VYU pulled it out in the last few seconds. they're still undefeated. Missouri is 7 and 2.

And BYU moved up to 7th in the AP top 25. We'll see the college playoff pull comes out tomorrow. We'll see if they moved up at all. They should be above Tennessee at 6th, for sure. Tennessee's got a loss. And BYU is still undefeated. Indiana is 5th. Penn State has got a loss.

Their fourth is tough. You're saying Indiana and Penn State. State who haven't lost a game is still below Penn State who has lost a game. Well, yes, because they lost a number two Ohio State. Okay. All right, I got it. Fine, but they're not undefeated. I mean, so, okay.

Oregon and Ohio State, you know, Ohio State's lost a game. It's just, it's been a fantastic year. So, so much fun to watch. And these teams are so good. And some are so good, yet so bad. And it's just a lot of fun to watch Missouri. ranked 24th in the top 25 and the AP top 25. And they, they deserve that. I mean, they've played like crap, really. I know that they've won. And that's good. I'm happy that

they won. They're seven and two. But they really played like crap. Now, my favorite story is John Gruden, former head coach of the Oakland Raiders, former head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, took them to a Super Bowl, former head coach of the Las Vegas or L.A. Raiders or wherever the hell the Raiders were when he was the head coach, I think they had already moved. But when when he got five, and became the bad guy for emails that he had sent back in, I don't know, 2010 or something like that. And they all hell broke loose because some of the emails were racist and homophobic and misogynistic. Yeah, he was emailing his friends.

You know, it wasn't meant for everyday reading, which, you know, I guess he should have known better. but then the Glazer family took him down from the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor. Well, it's looking like he was at the game yesterday in Tampa as they lost a San Francisco dissed really heartbreaking loss against San Francisco in Tampa yesterday. But a while ago, he was there for the celebration of life for former Bucks defensive coordinator Monty Kiffin. And Monty Kiffin was awesome for Tampa Bay and was there with John.

there and he is the father of Lane Kiffin They had football coach of Ole Miss, which had a great game. This had a fantastic game this weekend against Georgia.

Anyway, it was reported that Lane gave a, his speech was he spoke passionately about how his father believed in giving players and coaches second chances. And I guess that struck a chord with the Buccaneers ownership, and they're looking to put John back in the Ring of Honor.

He should be. It's ridiculous. And he was there with, you know, John Lynch was on the team, and he's the general manager of the 49ers now, Ronde Barber. I mean, they were all there. So they're probably going to put Gruden back in the Ring of Honor in Tampa Bay, which is a big step to getting him back into the NFL. Now, one of the things that I love and have always loved about John Gruden is his focus,

Okay, and I mean, this guy is a coach, out and out, through and through. He's been a coach. One of my favorite, one of my favorite all-time stories from John Gruden is when Tampa was playing Philadelphia, and they made a big deal about John Gruden coming back home to Philadelphia because he'd coached there before, and they asked him about what he felt about Philadelphia, and he goes, I never, I really didn't see much of the city. I had an apartment close to the stadium, and if I didn't sleep at the stadium, I rode my bike back to my apartment and slept there.

I pretty much just lived at the stadium and then we traveled to the games. I mean, that's John Gruden. That's John Gruden. That's the way he is. I mean, when he was a coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the guys that I used to do a morning show with every morning would stop at a convenience store every morning to get a coffee.

And it was the same convenience store that Gruden stopped at every morning. And it was, you know, 2.33 o'clock in the morning. Gruden's there. He's there. They're getting coffee. A nod, how you doing this morning? Good, good, good, and off they'd go. But he's up and working every freaking day.

Bright and dark. Bright and early, bright and dark. You get what I'm saying. So anyway, he has a YouTube channel that he's out hawking now, and he's been posting videos on his ex account. But this is how he created his fired football coaches association, which was awesome because the man apparently doesn't run his own house. I mean, I don't know.

Maybe I need to talk to John and set him straight to learn how to, you know, lay down the law a little bit when you're the man of the house. But he talked about how he started the fired football coaches association. You get fired as a coach. It's not very good. You don't know what to do. You don't know where to go. And what I realized was I wasn't alone.

I had my brother, Jay, Sean McBay. A lot of us had just been fired. So a lot of guys would come over to my house and we would watch film. And pretty soon my wife got sick of it. He says, get them out of my house and get all your stuff out of this house. We got two games plans, practice schedules, out. I don't know where I'm supposed to do. I don't know where to go.

So I rented this old building for about $750 a month, and I called it the Fire Football Coaches Association. And that's where we went. And pretty soon I needed to buy my own building because there's a lot of fired football coaches out there. And it's a place where coaches can go and study film. we can collaborate on difference games, study personnel, you name it.

And nobody even knows we're here. That is awesome. And he gives a quick tour of the fired football coaches association building. So it's awesome. And that's why I love John Gruden. That's all. And I just wanted to say that's why I think John Gruden is the man. He probably will get back into the NFL.

He talked in another interview where he was hawking, talking about his YouTube channel. And talking about, talking about the colleges and NFL, and he's real close. John Gruden's an NFL coach. I'm sorry, we're not going to let John Gruden coach college football. Okay, no. I didn't realize with NIL and the transfer portal that it's more professional than it's ever been. And it's a fascinating, fascinating monster to try to tackle.

But John Gruden needs to be in the NFL, period. That just needs to happen. And he needs to get another shot in the NFL. And there's plenty of teams right now with coaches that need to be, that need to join the fired football coaches association and have John leave the fired football coaches association for those jobs because they are not doing well at all. And sometimes in the NFL, in the NFL for sure, sometimes all you need is a new perspective at the coaching level. That's what happened to John when he came into Tampa. Tony Dungey had the team, you know, all ready to go. He just couldn't get them over the top, John Gruden.

was able to do that. And that happens all the time in the NFL. The teams are ready to go, but the coach just isn't quite the guy. And you move on. And that's the other thing that this fired football coaches association, which John doesn't talk about,

they all are getting their contracts continued to be paid for. So it's easy for them to be part of the fired football coaches association because they still have a whole lot of money coming in. And good for them. Good for them. No, really.

I mean that good for them. Oh, and one more thing, happy Veterans Day. For any of you that are working in the military right now, thank you. Any of you that have been in the military in the past, thank you. I appreciate it. It means everything to us here in the United States of America, that we have military members that are above and beyond. And I mean that thank you so much. I actually have a real-life veteran living in my...

No, not me. I mean, we've joked forever. We've talked about that. That I was part of the Island of Spice, urgent fury battle, which I wasn't. Because the only reason I started saying it on the air 100 years ago was because nobody knew anybody that was in it. And so you were able to just say, yeah, I was in the battle. It was just a joke. And so I can't, it's not even now I can't do it because stolen valor and people get pissed.

So, sorry. All right, it was just a joke. It's not funny, Jeff. I know, I know. So happy Veterans Day. And thank you to all the current and former military members. Thank you. All right, let's get out of here.

I need to wrap this thing up. I'll give you the joke of the day here on chewing the fat. It's, uh, this made me laugh all weekend because it hit home. It hit home pretty, pretty easy. I just had a physical. And the doctor said, don't eat anything, fatty. And I said, well, I like bacon and burgers. No, no, fatty, don't eat anything.
