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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
Now, there is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have the medication
on hand when it's needed.
It's a solution that thousands of people have already discovered, and it's called the Jace case.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Don't do it.
Just put it in your soda can, in your center console, and leave it there.
Don't forget that you put your cigarette butts out in that can, though, and then take a drink
because it doesn't taste good.
I'm not saying I've done that before.
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.
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. Some of the other terms and phrases, let's see, a chef's kiss, something that you think is perfect.
Perfect or excellent.
Yeah, okay.
Boop.
A gentle hit or touch on a person or anime's nose or head showing that you like them as a joke.
Boop.
Okay.
I F Y Y, Y, Y, K.

many times on the internet, especially a block of text that is often copy.

Copy P-A-S-T-A, copy-Pasta, pasta.
You say pasta, I say pasta.
A text that has shared many times on the internet,
especially a block of text that is often copy and pasted.

I see where my man Elon reposted.
He's got it pinned to the top of his ex page.
I mean, it is hilarious.
So Governor Newsom, who he's having a battle with Elon right now,
that's not really a good battle to have.
It's been, I would say, that hasn't worked well for a number of people.
Anyway, Governor Newsom said that the,
The Musk shared a video on his ex-account, and he says it's not real.
It says it in the post.
And the post is a Kamala Harris campaign ad parody.
Says so in the post by a at Mr. Reagan USA.
And so Gavin said manipulating a voice in an ad like this one should be illegal.
I'll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure.
it is.
And so Elon,
quote,
I guess you can't say quote,
tweet it anymore.
He didn't quote tweet.
He quoted the post by Mr.
Reagan,
USA, and then posted his own
post with,
I checked with
renowned world authority,
Professor Suggin'
Dinnuts.
And the professor,
I got to read the whole post, okay.
He said, checked with renowned world authority,
Professor Suggad Diz nuts.
And he said parody is legal in America.
That is hilarious.
Professor S-U-G-G-O-N-D-E-Z, N-U-T-Z.
So any time you have to check with
renowned world authority professor's Suggin'is nuts.
It's an important feature that I didn't know,
not know is available on X.

Okay, how about those top movies this weekend, huh?
Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine led the weekend comebacks for the struggling studio.
$205 million domestically.
The biggest opening for any movie this year,
and the most ever for an R-rated flick.
Wow.
Plus, we found out over the weekend that,
uh, what's his face?
Robert Downey Jr.
is going to, uh, be back in the MCU,
but he's going to be Dr. Doom in the forthcoming Avengers Doomsday.
So you had Deadpool and Wolverine,
um, 205 million domestic, 438.3 million globally already.
That is incredible.
Number two was Twisters,
holding strong and number two with another 35.3 million.
So they've totaled 154.5 million domestically,
221.3 million globally.
That's awesome.
Despicable.
Me, four, is that another 14.2,
with a total of 290.9 million inside out two,
is at 613.13.
point four one globally while they pulled in another eight million this weekend long legs
58.6 million domestically highest grossing indie horror film in the last decade quiet place day
one brought in oh just a little over three million bringing us total to 134.233 million that's
probably not that good for them they were probably hoping for a lot more bad boys ride or die
they brought in 395.2 million globally
Wow. Okay. All right. They brought it another 200 million? Oh, they crossed the 200 million mark overseas. Okay. I don't say what they brought in this week. Probably not that good. Fabulous 4 debuted with a million dollars. Critics and audiences agree it's a miss. The Fabulous 4. Wow. Fly me to the moon dropped 77%.
Only made 19.1 million. And Maxine, the horror story. Another horse.
horror, uh, 232, 14.6 million. No horizon. Horizon out of the top 10. Have a nice day.
And we still have the SAG after a strike going on, right? The 10 companies facing the strike are
Activision Productions, Blind Light LLC, Disney Character Voices, Inc, electronic arts production,
Epic Games, foremost interactive LLC, Insomniac Games, Take Two Productions, Inc, Voice Works
Production, and WB Games, Inc. We're not going to consent.
a contract that allows companies to abuse AI to the detriment of our members.
Enough is enough.
When these companies get serious about offering an agreement to our members can live and work,
we'll be here ready to negotiate.
That's SAG after's president, Fran Drescher.
So the strike is on to renegotiate its interactive media agreement with these
companies.
They are on the picket line.
Now, the unions representing 7,600.
workers in Hollywood Basic Crafts Union scored a win.
Drivers, electricians, animal trainers, and of course more.
Reached a tentative deal with studios avoiding a strike mere days before the deadline.
Details are still under wraps.
Fair wages were reportedly the main focus.
This agreement following the IATSE's recent deal suggests that the industry labor disputes are cooling off.
It's good news for production schedules and wallets alike.
The Devils and the details, of course.
so those details are coming soon.
After that, it's voting time.
Union members will still need to ratify the agreement.
So it's not a done deal yet.
They're just saying, yeah, we tentatively agreed to it.
So we still may have a strike with the basic craft union.
So we'll see.
I hope that doesn't happen because I want some of the new shows to continue on.
I mean, we already said at Comic Con that we're going to get a season three of Daryl Dixon,
and season two hasn't even aired yet.
So they've all seen it.
We have not.
they have and we're going to get a season three of darrell dixon which i'm a fan of season one was
awesome so hopefully we'll uh you know we get some other new shows as well so i see that they have
speaking of movies barbie uh that was thinking of the barby movie because there's a lady in new
jersey that has her Barbie dream house for sale she wants 500 000 for this three-bedroom property
in a Hamilton Township in New Jersey.
You know, you have to live in New Jersey, I know.
But it's a Barbie house, and it's gone viral.
It is amazing as far as if you like the whole Barbie thing.
I would drive me insane.
But if you like it, cool.
It's got a cinnamon room, a large walking wardrobe, a craft room, a handbag wall,
all in bright pinks and calming lavender's.
It's two-bathroom home, desirable neighborhood, University Heights,
good energy, good vibes, asking prices $500,000.
So if you'd like a Barbie house, you can move to Jersey.
Now let's say you're thinking to yourself,
you know, I would like to maybe look into getting the Barbie house.

Who died today?
Who died today?
Well, the sister-in-law of Team USA water polo star Maggie Stephens died.
That's who.
The passing of Lulu Connor, 26, after Stephens and the team USA defeated Greece in Saturday's Olympic opener.
Details about Connor's death have not been revealed publicly.
And reports that she died from an embolism are unconfirmed.
Uh-huh.
Because it couldn't be that.
If it was that, they would have said something, right?
I didn't realize that she died there in Paris.
Remember, during the Olympic opening,
and we'll get to the Olympics and their opening ceremony,
but during the opening ceremony,
they showed Stephan's throwing flowers into the river
from Team USA's boat during the opening ceremony.
And NBC broadcast noted that her husband's family had lost a family member,
and that's all they said.
No further details were mentioned.
Yeah, they lost a family member.
They're in France.
Because she was there to watch Maggie play.
It's just incredible.
So maybe they didn't know.
Maybe it was too much.
They didn't want to go into that big of detail.
Why would you want to go into detail on NBC?
So, rest in peace, Lulu Connor,
the sister-in-law of the sister-in-law of the...
three-time Olympic gold medal
winning water polo star Maggie
Stephens dead
at the age of 26.
Okay, more
might as well get into the Olympics. Now's a
perfect time. The opening ceremony
they claim drew 28.6 million viewers in the U.S.
The event's largest audience
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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. What did one schizophrenic say to the other? This town ain't big enough for the
of us.
See, it was a schizophrenic...
Yeah, you got it.
