Starting point is 00:00:00 Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Dude, Trump just signed an executive order. Make him pot legal. So we can do it as much as we want, man. I don't think that's what he did. I think he just reclassified it from a... schedule one substance category to a schedule two wait what it's not legal no that's not
Starting point is 00:00:36 going to legalize it at all it just uh you know sure some of it is still available for recreational reuse like that we use it you know but it's still not really legal it just makes it easier oh It makes it easier for medical research and stuff. So I guess some cannabis people are going to make a bunch of money too. And so that's kind of cool. But he didn't legalize it. So, and I guess they can do more research on it to make it, you know, find out how it helps people.
Starting point is 00:01:18 And maybe it'll be covered by Medicare, but, you know, it's still not legal. But we because, you know, we're still going to do it here where we're at right now. But it's not legal, dude. You heard wrong. Oh, that's a, that's a real bummer. It sure is. But, you know, I guess it'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus So you have all your presents for Christmas I know today if you're listening live Today is the 19th of December 2025
Starting point is 00:02:27 and I was looking at a new poll from AP and the NORAC. I guess it's the Norc, the Associated Press and the Norc Center for Public Affairs Research put out a poll and they talked about people giving cash for gifts, giving gift cards for gifts, and re-gifting. And I don't know that I have a problem with any of it. If you're giving a gift, it's what you're, It's the thought that counts, right? So if you're giving a gift card, whatever the amount is, that's great.
Starting point is 00:03:03 If you're giving cash, whatever the amount is, that's great. And don't forget the cash thing. Those of you talking about a cashless society, that goes away in a cashless society. So let's not be too, let's not rule too hasty on doing without cash. But I was looking at their poll. And most adults consider cash and gift cards acceptable holiday gifts. Yeah, giving gifts is cards, $62.2. percent very acceptable giving cash as a gift 59 percent very acceptable giving an item you bought
Starting point is 00:03:34 second hand 30 only 30 percent say that's very acceptable 34 percent say somewhat unacceptable giving an item you bought second hand if you find a something that at a at a yard sale or at a thrift store or anywhere that reminds you of that person and screams that person that's a gift It doesn't matter where it came from. Re-gifting an item, 22% of the people find that very acceptable. 39% say it's somewhat unacceptable. I will, and somewhat acceptable is 21%.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I will say that regifting works well. When you just don't say anything about it, right? Someone gives you something and you're like, oh, that's a perfect gift for so-and-so. and so then you wrap it up and give it to so and so that's regifting but that's that's good regifting uh i love that if you're looking at the same as buying something at a second hand if you get something uh and you and it tells you hey this is for this person i'm thinking of this person when i purchase this product that's a good thing that's the way gifts are
Starting point is 00:04:51 supposed to work you know what i'm saying yeah you know what i'm saying and they also in this poll talk about how a percent of adults who have done or planned to do the following this December. So 44% say go to bed before midnight on New Year's Eve. Leave up holiday decorations after New Year's Day. Wear a holiday sweater and accessories. At some point, everyone does, don't they? Give a gift to your pet. If you've got a pet, you have to give them like some kind of gift.
Starting point is 00:05:23 You can't give gifts out to other humans. the house without giving your pet a gift can you no you can now without being a big meaty uh watch sports on christmas day okay so my wife is having a heart attack about uh christmas now being a NFL day and there's three i think we've got three games right all day on uh on christmas day and uh so i just i told my son and i you know i just don't talk about it okay she went off on a rant uh about we're not watching football on Christmas Day, it's Christmas. We're not watching football. We're watching a Christmas movie.
Starting point is 00:05:57 That's what we're doing. It's like we always do a Christmas day. And I was like, well, last year I had it on and we just, you know, just keep the volume down and it's on all the time, but she didn't remember that. So then, you know, we're not watching football. I don't hear about football. Okay, so you just don't say anything
Starting point is 00:06:12 and you just put it on. You don't have to have the volume up. I call my own games anyway in my head. I know we've talked about this before, but I mean, I'd rather hear myself call the game. That's just me. Believe me, other people, if they thought that, I'd be doing it, but they don't. But I don't need the television to tell me what's going on with the game.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I can see what's happening with the game. You know, they have actual words and letters and numbers on the screen that tell me what's going on. And if something happens that I need explaining, right, you know, the referee, there's a penalty that I'm not sure of what they're calling, that kind of thing. Then, you know, I can bring up the audio or I can have the close caption on, too, as well. so you just don't say anything and of course we're going to watch football it's on isn't it put the elf on the shelf in your home
Starting point is 00:06:59 yeah I mean I talked to the elf on the shelf lady years ago and she sent a few elf on the shelves I think it's a cute kind of thing and no matter which way you do it whether you do it fun for the kids or you do it adult wise you know where you wake up and you know he's sticking out of the oven
Starting point is 00:07:17 or he's in the fireplace or you know he's getting dunked in the toilet whatever you're doing with on the shelf. You know, that's funny. Peek at your gifts before the holiday. You used to be a big deal when you were a little kid. Not so much anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Go see a movie in a theater of Christmas. You know, I have not done that. That's kind of a big thing these days, I guess, but only 5% say they will. That's pretty amazing that it's only that much. Because I feel like a lot more people go to the theater on Christmas Day. Just a thing to do, right? You open the gifts.
Starting point is 00:07:50 You need your little Christmas breakfast. breakfast, you know, to Christmas church, and then let's go to a movie, right? And it doesn't work for me. Maybe, you know, if my kids said they wanted to see something, because, well, this weekend is Fire and Ash with Avatar. You want to go see Fire and Ash on Christmas Day coming up, you know, in less than a week from now? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Now, all those plans would get thrown out the window if you won the lotto. Because the jackpot for the Powerball, which takes place this. Saturday, the 20th of December, days away from Christmas, $1.50 billion, a $686.5 million cash payout. So if you were to win that, all that other stuff gets thrown out the window because life has been changed forever. I mean, that is generational changing. And so you've got to get that taken care of. Yeah, yeah, Merry Christmas. And here's your re-gift.
Starting point is 00:08:50 but I got to figure out what I'm going to do with all this money. Now, we still have the lowly mega millions drawing, which is, that's tonight, the 19th of December 2025. That's for a $90 million jackpot, $40.8 million cash payout. I may call off everything for that, too. It's not as impressive as the $600, well, the $1.50 billion jackpot, not as impressive, but it is still $90 million.
Starting point is 00:09:20 So that would change some things up. So let's take a moment and just reflect on what you would do with $68.5 million. Okay, I already know. Welcome, welcome, welcome, happy hunger games. And may the odds be ever in your favor. That's what they say is coming. The modern day hunger games, real life hunger games. So Donald Trump, our president of the United States,
Starting point is 00:10:19 announced the Patriot Games yesterday. Patriot Games 2026. We've had birthday celebrations. He posted a video and talked about the Patriot Games. Talked about the celebrations we've had for the Army and the Navy and the Marines. He talked about how they're going to have the Washington Monument illuminated with birthday lights. He mentioned June 25th through July 10th, the Great American State Fair in the National Mall, pavilions from all 50 states
Starting point is 00:10:50 in the fall he didn't give a date on this they're going to have the Patriot Games four day athletic event high school athletes one boy one girl from each state and territory we had a point of saying there'll be no boys in the girls
Starting point is 00:11:06 department we're not having any of that trans stuff and that's the Patriot games and then he's going to ensure that the National Garden of American Heroes is still ongoing and continue to work on. He wants to build a triumphal arc, which he claimed that we're the only place that doesn't have one.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And he referenced the arc in France. But I don't know that every city actually has an arc, but if he says that we're the only ones without it, gosh darn it, we're going to have it. And he said construction will start very soon on that. I'm sorry, in the very near future. Then he said next spring, the national prayer event that he's going to have will rededicate one nation under God, like that. Flag Day, which I believe is his birthday,
Starting point is 00:12:04 one-of-a-kind UFC event. See, that was reported that was going to happen on the 4th of July. And now if that was true then, it is no longer true because he announced yesterday that the one-of-a-kind U.S. UFC event with the greatest fighters in the world on Flag Day fighting in front of the White House with Dana White hosting is going to happen. So then he claimed that this is just the beginning of the 26th Celebration of America will be like no other.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Welcome, welcome, welcome. Happy Hunger Games. Uh-huh, may the odds be ever in your favor? Uh-huh. Now, before we begin, we have a very special... Yeah, we got a movie. We got to play for you. Brought to you all the way from the capital.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Yes. Oh, we get to watch the movie. War. Terrible war. Terrible war. Orphans, the motherless child. this was the uprising that rocked our land yeah
Starting point is 00:13:20 13 districts rebel against the country that fed them loved them, protected them brother turned on brother until nothing remained and then came the peace hard fought sorely won the people rose up from the ashes
Starting point is 00:13:37 and a new era was born but freedom has a cost and the Germans were defeated we swore as a nation We would never know this treason again. And so it was decreed that each year the very districts of Pan Am would offer up in tribute one young man and woman to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage, and sacrifice. The lone victor bathed in riches would serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:11 This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard. Our future. I just love that. Oh yeah, me too. Me too. Makes me kind of want to watch the rest of the Hunger Games movie there. But that's what everybody seems to think is happening.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I do not. But there are many people that believe that the Patriot Games, they're just the beginning, Jeff. They're just the beginning. And congratulations to Jelly Roll. I see that he was one of 33 people in the state of, of Tennessee to be pardoned. He was pardoned, I guess the governor issued clemency decisions, as he usually does
Starting point is 00:14:56 around Christmas season, and Jellyroll's application underwent the same month-long, thorough review of other applicants. Yeah, he talked about a little bit on his interview with Joe Rogan, and so beginning at the age of 14, Jelly Roll was in and out of jail for a decade of convictions, including aggravated robbery, shoplifting, drug possession, and drug dealing, which he's been very open about. And he said that inside the Metro Davidson County Detention Facility at Nashville, that's where he was an inmate, he said, yeah, that's where he truly started to come to grips with everything and started writing songs.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I mean, he's a Grammy Award winner, and I love what an artist and what, I mean, I just, I love him, I love him as a, I'm a fan. And he's lost a bunch of weight now. he's really struggling becoming a becoming the person he said he's always you know wanted to be believe that he should be so good for him uh he spoke he spoke before congress he said i was part of the problem now he wants to be part of the solution his most serious conviction included a robbery at the age of 17 and drug charges at 23 in the first case the female acquaintance helped jelly roll and two armed accomplices steal three
Starting point is 00:16:12 $150 from people in a home in 2002. Because the victims knew the female acquaintance, she and Jelly Roll were arrested right away. Jelly Roll was unarmed and was sentenced to one year in prison plus probation. In another run, in 2008, police found marijuana and cracked cocaine in his car, leading to eight years of court-ordered supervision. Wow. Friends and civic leaders back to pardon application,
Starting point is 00:16:41 citing Jelly Roll's transformation. Yeah. No question about it. So he has been pardoned. And no one that received a pardon was convicted of a homicide or sex-related convictions or for any crime committed as an adult against a minor. So good news, Jellyroll has been pardoned for his crimes. I think he said that he still will not be able to.
Starting point is 00:17:12 own a firearm. Not sure if that allows him to vote or not, but he talked on Rogan that he still can't own a firearm or knowingly be in the vicinity or within so many feet of a firearm, but he can a bow hunt, which is what he's started to do, go out hunting and with a bow. So that's what he's doing. And the governor said, look, there's been an outpouring of support for me to do this and this actually makes it easier for him to tour internationally and do Christian ministry missionary work which requires a lot more paperwork and burdensome you know it's time consuming if you want to travel out of the country so good news for jelly roll congratulations and if for any reason you're thinking jelly roll how what who is jelly roll well he's a performer
Starting point is 00:18:08 and just listen to a song by jelly roll titled Get By. That's probably one of my favorite songs by him and I'm just a monster hit of his. So, I mean, it's not a secret song or anything. It's just a monster hit by Jelly Roll, but it's called Get By. And it is awesome.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And speaking of felons, you can breathe easy in France. The French police said they caught the second inmate who had escaped from prison. So we had a prisoner on the run in France. He was 19 years old. He suspected in a drug-linked attempted murder case. He was found in Marseille after Interpol issued a red notice for him. And they found him in a run-down apartment complex in a drug-dealing hot spot.
Starting point is 00:19:03 The guy that broke out of prison with him, the 32-year-old man accused of violence against a party. was arrested the day after the escape. Police found him at a village bar sipping on coffee. At least this guy, the 19-year-old, went down to Marseille or Marse or Marseille or whatever they. How were they pronounce it over there at the Frenchie Frenches? Marseille. Oh, you're working today. So, okay, well, nice of you to show up on the last day before the holidays.
Starting point is 00:19:35 And so that's where he was arrested. 300 miles, 310 miles south of the prison in the port city of Marseille. Yeah, yeah, I got it. Okay, so anyway, what I found fascinating about him breaking out of, oh, and by the way, have a Merry Christmas, and thanks for all the work that you did this year. I really appreciate it. It's good for you to be here today, and I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:20:03 It's good to see you. So, Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. Thank you. you're welcome so anyway what i found uh interesting about the 19 year old escapee who is no longer a a man on the run uh he broke out of prison interestingly enough by sawing through cell bars and using bed sheets now they believe that they got the uh they had the blades that uh cut through the cell bars delivered to them by drone so there is a little bit more of an issue issue in French prisons than we're not talking about.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So prisoners are getting merchandise delivered to them by drones. That's happening here in the United States as well. Although I think not as much anymore, but it is definitely happening. And it got them merchandise to help them break out of prison. So it didn't stay very long, though, because he was only out for about a month. And then we got them. Or they got him. Be sure to follow me on X at Jeffrey JFR on X.

But still, you need to watch it on my ex-account. Most importantly, I just watch it on my ex-account at Jeffrey JFR. He's so mad right now. If he's listening to this, he's so pissed.

I mean, we go, we get off. Today is the last day.
Starting point is 00:25:06 until we go into the holiday break. So the holiday break takes us to the fifth, Monday the fifth. Normally we don't come back. I mean, you know, there was a time when we would take more than, you know, two weeks. But I guess two weeks is what we're doing now. So, okay. All right, well, all right. That's what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:25:27 That's what we're doing. Okay, so I was looking at the Golden Globes gift bag. Now I know we're coming up on Christmas and everybody's going to be giving presents and everything. So, you'll have everything you need. You don't need anything else. But the Golden Globe gift bag is worth about a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I mean, that's pretty sweet. And the duffel bag itself that it shows up in or that you're going to have is pretty sweet itself. So the 83rd annual Golden Globes is January 11th. You're going to be gifted the most luxurious gift bag. that the nearly $1 million ultimate gift bag has been curated by the Rob Report. I think this is like the third year that they've done that. Nearly a million dollars, ultimate gift bag. From travel adventures and luxury spirits to cutting-edge skin care and wellness selections
Starting point is 00:26:54 for a total of 35 standout offerings with nearly double the amount of travel getaways as the year prior. Partnering with Golden Globes, the craft to craft a gift that captures the artistry and the excitement of Hollywood's party of the year. Something we look forward to every season, said Luke Borenberg, president of Rob Report, and head of luxury sales at PMC. From an expanded slate of global getaways to standout moments in wellness, beauty, and spirits, recipients have the opportunity to create a luxury experience that feels entirely their own. Every detail reflects our commitment to celebrating the best in class, bringing together
Starting point is 00:27:41 remarkable destinations and rare indulgent finds to create an unforgettable gifting experience. So all the decadence is housed in the Atlas signature duffel bag from Atlas misspoke, a piece that was made especially for next year's Golden Globes. crafted with a premium suede, the exclusive duffel offers a sculpted silhouette paired with polished gold tone hardware, dual top handles, and an interior lined with 100% cotton. Rounding out the design are the detachable shoulder strap and the Golden Globes travel bag, making the Atlas Duffel the perfect companion for celebs as they traverse the globe. Inside the bag will also include a guide that shows off what A-lister's can get. via the ultimate gift bag, complete with the items availability and monetary value. Yeah, because they're making to pay taxes on it.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Back of the day, the actors used to sweep in and take all this free stuff and didn't have, didn't pay taxes on it. And now they were like, ah, now we're keeping an eye on that. We're definitely keeping an eye on that. You go down the list, it's pretty incredible. Travel and experiences, they get Casa Belmar and Destinations in Paradise, available for five recipients, that's worth 25 grand. Celesta Finesse, $60,000.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Conrad Coisema. I'm butchering these, I know. It's the Gulf of Thailand at the Royal Villa. That's 15,000, a little over 15,000. Conrad Maldives, Rangda Island. That's 70,000. The Conrad's Singapore Orchard, that's 12,000. So you're not going to get all of these.

I want the cutting-edge hair growth helmet. $860 available to all recipients. Oh, these are available to all recipients. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:23 So I see what they've done here. Some of these travel experiences, oh, I see available up to five. recipients yeah they're not saying 25 grand and you can bring five people they're saying it's twenty five thousand dollars and only five people are going to get this once it's gone it's gone gotcha so all these uh travel and experiences um the 60 thousand dollar one available to all participants um this one's only three you know five five five uh one ten five five three these are all the recipients.

All of this, some of even the skin care stuff is only available to, not everyone. The inaugural, oh, the two passes to Rob Reports, inaugural wellness retreat, that's only available to two recipients. I'm willing to bet. This is just a side note for me that anyone that wants.
Starting point is 00:31:59 to go to the Rob Report's inaugural wellness retreat will be able to go. Just saying that the only two recipients can have it means that people, they believe it will make people want it more. Okay. Then they have wines and spirits and cigars. So if you're a Golden Globe, and this is to all recipients. So what makes it seem like this is for everyone who's nominated? See, the Academy, you got to, that's the nominees.
Starting point is 00:32:28 and I think the winners even get more. So this is, I guess, it doesn't say here, this is just for the nominees. I'm pretty sure it's probably just for the nominees. That's a lot of gifts. So it's not just for the winners. It's for all the nominees. Pretty sure that's got to be the way it is.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But if you show up and just, if you show up the Golden Globes, and you see the room there with the, open up with the Rob Report, just pick up a duffel bag and start walking and tell them are you nominated yes yes i am i'm in the uh i'm in the the new podcast uh section uh nominee i'm part of uh part of one of the nominated podcasts yeah i put it together i produce it so don't worry about it just let me walk through here and take the bag okay all right take care who died today who died today well
Starting point is 00:33:27 We're just going to have one person in who died today. We're going to talk about NASCAR star Greg Biffle and three members of his family. And three other people died yesterday at a North Carolina airport. Private jet crashed and erupted into flames, killing seven people. Greg Biffle was 55 years old. Yesterday was, in fact, his birthday. So maybe they were traveling somewhere for a some sort of, a birthday celebration for Greg Biffle, the former NASCAR driver.
Starting point is 00:34:02 But we know the plane took off from Statesville Regional Airport. And shortly after takeoff, the jet turned back toward the airport and crashed while attempting to land. So it knew something was wrong and tried to get back and land and they didn't make it. Very, very sad. Then it just burst into flames and records was scattered. It's too early to determine what caused the crash. I mean, you could make the crash joke, of course, is,
Starting point is 00:34:35 well, the crash caused, you know, the airplane hitting the ground caused the crash. Yeah, I know. I got it. But very, very, very sad. So it was Greg Biffle, former NASCAR star, and he was wonderful during the floods in the Carolinas. I mean, he was helping people and donating time and energy and money. His wife, Christina, their son, Ryder, and his daughter, Emma. And the statement identified the other victims as Craig Wadsworth, Dennis Dutton, and Dutton's son, Jack, all beloved by many in the NASCAR community.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Each of them, according to NASCAR, meant everything to us in their absence leaves and a measurable void in our lives. Yeah, I bet. Very, very sad. So rest in peace to every one of those people who passed away on that flight yesterday. Greg Biffle, his wife, Christina, son, Ryder, daughter Emma, Dennis Dutton, and Dutton's son, Jack, and Craig Wadsworth, rest in peace. So, Greg Biffle, dead. at the age of 55. Oh, and I think it's a done deal.
Starting point is 00:35:59 We can put this and who died today, too. The original TikTok dead in America. Because it was reported that the company yesterday had signed the deals moving forward with a plan to avoid the app being banned in the U.S. The agreements are with Oracle, Silver Lake Management, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Abu Dhabi. I know everyone calls it Abu Dhabi, but I like Abu. When the deal closes, which is expected to happen next month, it will create a company separate from TikTok's Chinese parent bite dance.
Starting point is 00:36:39 And that will be majority owned by the American investors. The new company will be responsible for protecting data, moderating content, and the algorithm security in the U.S., according to the memo to TikTok employees. So we'll see It actually goes through next month And if it actually happens And everything just moves along without a hitch
