Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Wealthy Russian people are hiring luxury yachts, which are heavily armed, to sail near Somali.
Starting point is 00:00:30 you on pirate hunting expeditions hunting pirates i love it their goal is to hopefully attract pirates to approach them so they can open fire with grenade launchers and automatic weapons now this post says this is the closest thing to the purge currently available then i see it's not it's not true what i was so I was so bummed. Hey, piracy is a crime under international law. Only authorized military and law enforcement agencies have the legal authority to address piracy and armed robbery at sea. Typically, naval forces from nations operating in the region are responsible for protecting sailors. Unauthorized individuals or groups interfering in the process can complicate diplomatic relations and legal proceedings. seedings. Addressing piracy is illegal if it includes malicious mischief or the use of force beyond what is necessary for self-defense. Thus, cruises for pirate hunting with the aim of murder are legally prohibited. Now, I guess legally, ships encountering pirates can use non-lethal defense strategies to protect themselves, such as evasive maneuvers, water cannons, rubber bullets,
Starting point is 00:02:01 and non-lethal explosives. Wait, non-lethal explosives. Okay. And they can hire private security to protect their vessel if the activity is aligned with international maritime and transport law. Direct engagement or use of lethal force is restricted. So the notion of pirate hunting cruises is just a myth. And it's not real.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Oh, man. I was so happy. Hunting Pirates. I mean, it's a good show to have on a network right now. So make it happen. Make it so. Hunting Pirates. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So the story is a bunch of Trump supporters had their cars towed from a Dunkin' Donuts. Sorry, they're not Dunkin' Donuts anymore. They're just Duncan parking lot. And the towing company is saying, hey, that's the way it goes. There was a sign. You can't park there. You're getting your cars towed.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They're illegally parked. Now, people reported that the manager of Duncan said they could park there. Now, he said, no, I told people they cannot park there. There's a sign. And that's all he said. Okay. So originally you'd think, well, if the manager says, said you could park there knowing they were going to get towed, then he's getting a kickback from
Starting point is 00:03:38 this gotcha towing. Now, okay, so I've seen this before. When I worked in St. Petersburg, Florida, we worked really close to what was then the Tropicana Field. It was just, it was a new, a new domed building. We were close right across the street from it, and they had events there. And people used to try to park in our parking lot of the store that I worked at. And there were other stores in this plaza. There's a sign there. Don't park there unless you're doing business here or you're going to get towed. Now, these large events would come and the towing company would set up guys up on the roof of the building to watch people park their cars in our lot and walk across the street. As soon as they walked across the street, they would, uh, we're going to blow Toyota. And they would,
Starting point is 00:04:29 and they would go and tow it out right there as soon as they would cross the street. So as soon as the event was over, these people would come out and their cars would be towed and people are banging on the windows of the store and they're pissed and they want, they got just all I could do is refer them to the sign. Call that number and you can go get your car. Well, just like it happened when I was involved, it happened here in North Carolina. You have to pay cash and you have to go there to get it. They don't accept credit cards. Maybe they do now in today's world, but it's cash. and it was $380 you can come and get your car. People were really angry.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And I don't blame them. It's an angering kind of thing. But the thing is, is that the stores, like, let's say Duncan, probably doesn't own the lot that it's on. So the company that owns the lot is the company that makes the deal with the towing companies to have your car towed. And there were other reports that, you know, it happens all the time. other people were saying,
Starting point is 00:05:31 oh, it's never happened before. But we have had reports that it's happened before. And a guy said he goes to a bar that's across the street, and he's seen, you know, cars towed weeknights after hours because you're not supposed to park there after hours if you're not doing business with the company, which is, you know, it's kind of BS, but those are, you know, the sign's there.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Call the sign. Go pay your cash. Now, people are saying that this towing company is, really did not have their business license renewed because of some tax issue. And so they really shouldn't be towing cars anyway because they shouldn't be doing business. But they are. And the police are like, hey, uh, you know, I'll give you a ride to the place. But it's a civil matter.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So we got no, we got nothing we can do for you. So I've seen it before and just pay attention. Heads up at people, you know, they put those signs in those parking lots around these big event places. and they do it for a reason. Now, does the company that owns the lot, is it Duncan, or is it another company, do they get a, you know, a revenue share from the towing company?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Probably. I would not doubt that at all. It wouldn't surprise me if the owner of the lot where the Duncan is on, if he's a, you know, a partner in the gotcha towing company. But just a heads up, because it has happened before. It's happened many times.
Starting point is 00:07:00 and if you're going to an event, make sure you can park where you park. There's always places where you can't park. And I remember parking one time at an event, and this officer came up and I said, hey, I'm going to park here. Are you good with that? And he was like, yeah, you can park there all you want.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I don't know how long I'm going to be on the street corner. I'll make sure that nobody messes with your car or tows you while I'm here. But if I leave and it gets towed, that's on you. not me. So I moved. I moved because I didn't want to walk out and have my car missing and have to pay $400 bucks cash to get it out of some tow lot owned by Gotcha towing. Did you realize that over $2 million and I believe $3 million were left without power in Texas
Starting point is 00:07:52 in the wake of Hurricane Barrel? That's, I mean, during the summer here in Texas, it's not fun when you don't have any power. And you need to be prepared for severe thunderstorms and power outages that follow hurricanes or any natural disaster for that matter. And we have wildfires going on in California now. I mean, 350,000 acres are already burned and more on the way because they have it. They've got it about 20% contained, I think, maybe tops. So it's going to be difficult to get to pharmacies and doctors when you, are struck with a natural disaster.

Speaking of those wildfires in California, the one big wildfire. the park fire, which has more than 350,000 acres already burned. I don't know how many 134 structures. It's March northward from Chico, spread through several counties.
Starting point is 00:10:55 And after four days of no containment, the firefighters had said the blaze is 12% contained. What was I thinking? 20. So thousands of personnel are doing what they can to contain the fire. And, you know, that's incredible that this is still going on. Now, the reason that this fire started, the park fire, is because this guy, Ronnie Dean Stout the second of Chico, California, pushed his car and was seen doing it. Pushed his car that was on fire into a gully near a swimming hole in Bidwell Park. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:33 The car went down the embankment, approximately 60 feet, and burned completely, sprinted. spreading flames that caused the park fire. Yeah, he's been arrested, and let's hopefully keep him in jail for a long, long time. Apparently, he has a number of other priors as well, so he will be in jail for a long time. Now, there's also the smaller gold complex fire. That's only burned 3,000 acres. I'm sorry, 3,07 acres. 50% of that is contained.
Starting point is 00:12:04 of the blaze east of Bakersfield in California started on federal land has burned 31,000 acres. Current fires in California have burned 687,191 acres so far. There are 102 large active wildfires, the vast majority in the West. They're blamed for charring more than 2 million acres. Well, yeah, 21 wildfires in the U.S. led to evacuation orders.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Fire weather watches and warnings were in effect. Saturday for Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Southern Idaho, Utah, California. I mean, even here in Texas, you know, in any state, Florida, any state that is hot and dry as possible for wildfires to kick up. Don't be throwing your cigarette butts out the window, okay?

I'm just saying don't do it because it doesn't taste as good as you're hoping for when you pick up your can of soda thinking it's going to be that delicious Coca-Cola. And it's that delicious Coca-Cola with cigarette butts. Nasty. Not only nasty, but ick, ick, ick, ick. And that's a new word in the Cambridge Dictionary, by the way. Ick is a new word in the Cambridge Dictionary.
Starting point is 00:13:38 They included new words and phrases, 3,200 new words in phrases in the Cambridge dictionary. Apparently the term ick was popularized by the UK reality dating show, Love Island, where a bunch of overly good-looking people looking for a business are packed into a luxury village. for the summer. And according to the Cambridge Dictionary, the ick is a sudden feeling that you dislike someone or something or are no longer attracted to someone because of something they do. Well, yeah, duh. I mean, that's definitely a buzzword in today's world. Ick. Some of the other, which would be cigarette butts in a can of soda. Ick.

Starting point is 00:31:01 since London in 2012. Sure, they had that whole last supper thing with drag queens. Sure, they had that whole end of the world kind of thing happening. But it was beautiful, wasn't it? I mean, I kept waiting for it to get better, and it just never did, really.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I guess the torch lighting was okay. It was never ending. I mean, they panted the torch off to like a thousand different people before they finally got to where the cauldron was, because the cauldron can't be where all the crowd is there in France. No, it's got to be over on the other side. side of the city with a giant air balloon that the fire
Starting point is 00:31:45 is going to push up in the air so that we can all see it from the city because they're way over there by the Eiffel Tower, which was cool. And the light show that the, if you made it to that part of it, through the torch running and the cauldron lighting,
Starting point is 00:32:01 the light show and what's her face sang Celine Dion on the Eiffel Tower. She was fine. They drug her out from her bones diffitting disease. or whatever and everybody was happy to see her. And she was awesome. She was awesome.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean, there's somebody that's traveled around the world and to perform from the Eiffel Tower in front of the world. Pretty awesome. I saw Gaga's performance. It was fine. Gagas performance was fine. If you made it that far.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I don't know. I'd like to see the numbers after people tuned in to the beginning and then it started doing their their apparent depiction of how terrible Christians are. I would like to see how many people went away after that. Because I stuck around because I did want to see, I wanted to keep wondering if it was going to get better and what was going to happen.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And I did it for you so that we could talk about it. And it was just agonizing and terrible. They spent all kinds of money on the stupid thing. And it's all for in the name of art. And it was just terrible. And I know it's terrible. And the Olympic Committee has been busy deleting videos and telling people that they can. can't post these opening ceremony videos on their social media accounts because they don't want
Starting point is 00:33:17 it seen now. They want to pretend like it never happened. Okay. All right. Well, we'll pretend. Now, we won't, but we'll say we will because it's just a nightmare. Now, we do have a media, you know, a metal count happening. And as of right now, as we speak today, the 29th of July, 2024. America was in the lead this morning with metal counts no longer, which we will be. We will be the winning country. But for right now, at this very moment that we're talking, France is in the lead with four gold, six silver, three bronze, 13. Right now, United States has 363, which is 12. And then South Korea is third with nine. But that won't last long. Because if you go back to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the United States far and away had the most medals with 113.
Starting point is 00:34:15 And we had the most gold medals with 39. China barely, barely lost to us with 38 as far as gold medal is concerned. But overall, our medal count was far superior to any other country. China was number two with 89. Again, we had 113. Yeah, zip it, China. We're number one. the way it goes. So right now, I mean, it's going to fluctuate from time to time depending on
Starting point is 00:34:41 events. But once we're, you know, once we're into the heat of the Battle of the Olympics, the United States will be the far and away winner. So many side stories to get to around the Olympics, I can't wait to share them with you. I mean, I could sit here for another three hours and talk about some of the side stories, but we'll get to it this week. Like the Canadian drone scandal that's going on. We have a guy that's a convicted rapist playing in the Olympics. We have a commentator removed
Starting point is 00:35:16 because of his sexist comments, you bastard. And we have an update on the Olympic athletes using the dating apps for business in Paris. Oh, yeah. We've got the condoms and business in Paris. And we have laser weapons that are able to shoot down drones
Starting point is 00:35:35 out of the sky during the Olympics. So those, I mean, right there alone, those are what, five stories that are awesome in and of themselves. So I think we'll just begin, we'll just do this one today, the Olympic commentator that was removed for his coverage after a sexist comment,
Starting point is 00:35:53 you bastard. So his comment, Bob Ballard has been removed with immediate effect after making this sexist comment toward women during the four by a hundred meter freestyle relay in Paris. Fans heard that sexist comment on Euro sports coverage, and the broadcast network announced he's been removed from its roster.
Starting point is 00:36:14 So he's trying to be funny. I know I'm sticking up for him. I am. I'm sticking up for him. The Australia women's team had just won gold. And that they were filling time waiting for the whole situation. And Ballard says, well, the women just finishing up, you know what women are like hanging around, doing their
Starting point is 00:36:35 makeup. People did not laugh like I'm laughing. They did not like that. One of us, that was outrageous. The team, they were so pissed. You know, this co-competitor actually instantly said,
Starting point is 00:36:57 was pissed at him right away. And she should have been, should he be kicked off the broadcast? Come on. For that, I mean, he's been broadcasting for, these for Eurosports for a long time. And this one, because he should have known better. But the post, there's hang your head in shame and get off the broadcast.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And back to the 1930s. He's just, was just trying to be funny, fill in time. And you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't be funny filling time. The women are just finishing up. You know what women are. They're like hanging around, doing their makeup.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah, he's gone. He's out. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister.
Starting point is 00:38:10 This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for... The Crossing Guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Winners find fabulous for less. So I mentioned the laser weapon system to shoot down drones in Paris. I mean, they're concerned about any kind of sabotage or attacks during the Olympics, and they should be. Apparently, France has the largest peacetime deployment of forces in history. some 75,000 soldiers, police and private security agents. They're ready. They're at the ready. Yeah, they weren't at the ready for the, I don't know, the fire that shut down the network of trains before the Olympic opening ceremony.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah, it was a far-left group. It was? Yeah, it was a far-left group. It only crippled the country. And it's continuing to cripple the country. That's it, though. They've been scrambling to determine who it was. was. Now, they, this is how we know who it was. They sent an email saying, hey, it was us, okay? And we're calling
Starting point is 00:39:23 ourselves the unknown delegation. Now, they claimed responsibility and said, well, they call it a party. We see it as a celebration of nationalism, a gigantic staging of subjugation of populations by states. Oh, okay. So that was the email that they received. so I guess we're blaming it on them because miraculously we got an email from someone saying hey it was us that took care of this this arson attack
Starting point is 00:39:56 that crippled the country because of the trains all right now then it was reported that there was a power outage there really wasn't a power outage in the city that I guess some small area lost power for a short period of time there was not a power outage in the city this massive blackout in Paris So, you know, that was the false report on social media. We have so much more about the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And I don't want to, I mean, I could talk. Again, I told you I could talk for hours on it. So we'll just let it be for now. And that will continue with more of these behind-the-scenes stories on the Olympics as the week progresses. So I see this story out of Australia that talks about how this Nigerian man, D-Cicahua Patrick Nowiki, D-I-R-C-H-Y-E-H-Y-E-H-Y. U-K-U-U-P-A-P-A-P-Rex-N-W-E-K-E. He was arrested for allegedly orchestrating a $9 million drug ring from his immigration detention center in Australia.
Starting point is 00:40:58 He was reported to be using a mobile phone to coordinate an importation of cocaine into the country while in detention. How many, the man's working? He's a busy man. and the investigation known as Strike Force Glennel led to his arrest along with the seizure of a significant amount of drugs. And that's the story. But the reason I tell you this story is because in this story that I'm reading about from Australia, they're talking about this Nigerian guy that they busted for this $9 million drug ring. He was that he was running from his mobile phone in a detention center.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And so we bust them. But then there's a side note in the story that says, Oh, yeah, a separate incident, a Spain-bound businessman, was arrested at an airport for allegedly hiding cocaine in his sandals. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLAA, recovered the consignment from the businessman's sandals at the Mortula-Mohamed International Airport in Laos. Oh, is it Laos or Lagos?
Starting point is 00:42:02 Got to be Lagos or Lagos in Nigeria, right? But this is a Spain-bound business. businessman at the Legos airport, hiding cocaine in his sandals. I don't know how you think you're going to... Who knows? Who knows? It just struck me funny that he's hiding cocaine in his sandals. Just me? Okay. Okay, let's wrap this up for today. A joke of the day. Came from an email to Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com from Shy. It says, greetings, Jeffie. This is an original dad joke.
Starting point is 00:42:37 thought up by me while trying to maneuver my way through a crowd of people. And then he says, you're welcome. Well, no, no, no. Shai, thank you so much. And I mean, you know, I appreciate, I appreciate you reaching out chewing the fat at the blaze.com. What did one schizophrenic say to the other? I don't know.
