And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
I have wanted to start a app that's called the suicide cam.
And I wanted to have, when people were jumping off bridges, say like, oh, I don't know,
the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
You would get an alert.
Someone's on the platform.
And then you would log in and see the person and watch them jump if they jump.
That hasn't taken off as well as expected.
However, let me say this.
I think now is a time again to bring it back up because they have now put in a suicide net on the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.
It's been 87 years and we have a suicide net.
It's kind of strange.
It's built off of the side of the bridge so that if you were to jump, you would fall on the net.
It's been installed around about 95% of the bridge.
its purpose obviously is to
reduce the number of deaths associated with
individuals jumping off the bridge
the net is a proven design that detours people from jumping
and serves as a symbol of care and hope
the despondent individuals
and if necessary offers people a second chance
it's a stainless steel net
and they approved it back in 2014
but it hasn't been put on
and now it is
Now, I'm looking at the pictures of the net on the bridge.
If I wanted to jump off the bridge, you could hit that net and then jump from there.
So I guess you live.
I guess no matter what you live, right?
It's not like a trampoline where you bounce on.
Although, if you had the suicide camp, you could watch people, you know, bounce off the net into the bay.
And so it'd be happy because they'd be alive.
When I lived in Florida,
people would jump off the Skyway Bridge.
And that's what got me thinking about the suicide camp.
Because they always had to search for the bodies
and they didn't know who it was.
And that's why I thought, you know, as horrible as it is,
we should know if you're going to jump,
at least go to the platform, build them a platform
so they can put their wallet there.
And we know who you are,
so we know who we're looking for.
And then the suicide cam would have learned,
me that hey somebody's about to jump and I can log on and watch the video of whoever it was
jumping off the bridge. I know it's a surprise it hasn't taken off. People,
it doesn't a lot of people log it in to watch people attempt to kill themselves. Now, on average,
I guess on average for the Golden Gate, there'd been around 30 confirmed suicides. Interesting.
I thought it was actually more.
I would have said more than that.
There's only been about 40 people who have survived jumping off the bridge.
See, that's the thing.
If it's high water, you may live, does some serious damage to your body, obviously.
You know, shattering, you know, vertebrae and backs and arms.
You're doing a lot of damage jumping off those bridges to your mind,
even if you survive, let alone the damage of death.
But apparently the net detours people.
So, you know, good.
That's great.
No, it is.
It's great.
But I'm just saying now's the time.
We can fire that bad boy camp back up so you can people,
at least watch people jump into the net.
No?
You don't like that idea?
I don't know.
I still think it'll work.
Welcome.
Good for San Francisco.
for putting in the suicide net on the Golden Gate Bridge
because that way people will think twice about jumping
and that's the whole point of this net on the bridge.
So that's good.
I mean that. Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
And I probably shouldn't mention a suicide story
without saying that you can call 988.
the suicide and crisis lifeline number if you or someone you love needs help.
It's easy.
Just dial 988 and you'll be able to get some help and that would be wonderful.
And I'm guessing that if you're thinking about, you know, I don't know, jumping into the net off the Golden Gate,
but you won the Mega Millions at 140 million tonight.
If you're listening live today is the 5th of January, 2024, the Mega Million.
the mega millions is $140 million, $68.8 million.
That may help in the way you feel about your life.
That's the old cartoon, right?
Where the guy has got the billboard over his chest and his back
and it says, you know, the end is coming.
The end is near.
And the caption is,
Betty'd feel different if he won the lottery.
Okay, I think we've been had.
I see where everybody's fighting over the travel mugs,
the Stanley travel mugs at Target stores,
and they've been fighting.
We've been seeing people online on their TikTok and their Instagrams,
all jumping up and down and racing to get the Valentine's Tumblr's in pink and red
that Stanley released December 31st,
between $20 and $45 for the travel cubs,
which, you know, have been quickly sold out.
And now you can find them on eBay, you know, for $100 now or maybe more.
The 40-ounce Stanley quencher, the uninsulated mug.
And they've been, you know, all kinds of views, and people are fighting over them.
Now, they, and it started with the Starbucks Stanley Cup, 2, the pink one that was going.
People were crazy for.
And, you know, it was a good marketing campaign.
Well, that's because they hired a new president.
And the president is the marketing guy who helped the crocs, get Crocs cool again.
And so they wanted to make Stanley cool by attracting more women.
and, you know, that was introducing bright colors,
and they leveraged some social media influencers
to promote the Stanley Coolers, you know, the Stanley Cups.
But you remember not long ago
where the lady found the Stanley Cup in her burned out car
and ice was still in the Stanley Cup,
and she just, it was just a video,
just a random video of this lady whose car burned
and the Stanley Cup came out
and there was still ice in the Stanley Cup
after the fire and what a huge thing
and then the head of Stanley replies to that video
and buys her a new car
and tells her they're going to get new product
while he's speaking behind him
are all the new Stanley Cups
with multiple colors behind him
I think we've been had
I think that was a I think that was BS
I think that was a made-up story
about the burning
of the car and the Stanley
Cup in the ice
so kudos to Stanley
for pulling that off because
now I don't know
I find it hard to believe
I mean I'm sure
that the Stanley Cup
that I have would
you know make it through a car fire
uh-huh
with ice still left in it
uh-huh
and if I made a video
and I think it was the CEO said
don't you know it's not
we're not doing this for everyone
but this, you know, we're darn happy that this happened.
And, uh, if you look at the video, well, here, hold on.
Okay, here it is.
Now, she pulls it out of the car.
Still has ice in it.
My name is Terrence Riley.
Terran.
I'm president of Stanley.
Yes, Terrence.
We've all seen your video.
Haven't we?
Yeah.
And we're all really glad you're safe.
Yeah.
Thanks for sharing the video because, wow.
Wow.
It really shows how Stanley, our Stanleys are built for life.
Look at these beautiful colored cups behind him.
I couldn't think of a better example of...
And the classics behind them, too, on the other side.
I'm glad you're safe.
I've seen a lot of comments that we should see some Stanleys.
Well, we're going to say you some Stanlies.
But...
But there's one more thing.
Right.
We've never done this before, and we'll probably never do it again.
But we'd love to replace your vehicle.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All of us at Stanley, we'd really like to replace your vehicle.
And we're going to do that.
So just leave us a message.
Just DM us.
And everything will be fine.
We've been had.
That was part of that was a great marketing campaign.
Kudos to Stanley.
Kudos to Stanley for that.
I mean that.

So you remember the Netflix miniseries,
The Act about Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
Well, if you haven't seen it,
I'm going to probably spoil a little bit of it here for you.
But it is awesome.
And the story was known.
But so she,
she was been in prison for a number of years.
and her boyfriend, her then boyfriend,
who stabbed her mother with her knowledge.
And so what she testified to while she was in the next room,
he's in prison for life.
And he has portrayed in,
now there were a couple of documentaries
and a fictionalized series.
She claimed her mother had Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Yeah, I mean, it was clear that the mother had Munchausen syndrome by proxy
and subjected her to years of unnecessary medical treatment
for illnesses she didn't have,
like leukemia and muscular dystrophy.
It was just amazing.
It's an incredible story.
She's been in prison.
Well, just so you know,
just so you know you can feel safe,
she's out of prison now.
All right, so be careful out there,
another criminal on the streets.
She's getting, she's out of jail.
And she's capitalizing on her newfound fame
from the shows.
She got a new iPhone, started recording.
Her Instagram now has about 6 million followers.
Hashtag Gypsy Rose has 3.4 billion views on TikTok.
And she's used the accounts to promote an upcoming Lifetime docu-series
and an e-book about her experience.
So she's capitalizing.
Gypsy Rose is out.
And pretty amazing that she's having,
good for her. I guess
she's capitalizing on it,
but it seems kind of, that's a
weird story, man. I mean, I feel sorry
for her. I do feel sorry for her.
I don't know.
Oh, you're condoning the murder of her
mother? Well, I mean, her boyfriend
was the one that did it, not her, but she
was, she
wanted it to happen. Pretty incredible.
Then we have another
criminal back out on
the streets. Oscar
Pistorius. Remember here, him the
South African former Olympic Paralympic rummer.
You know, he had the metal, the metal legs.
He's doesn't have, you know, he's got fake legs, fake metal legs that he runs in the
in the Paralympics.
Anyway, they called him Blade Runner.
Well, the 37-year-old six-time Paralympic gold medal winner,
the first double amputee winner to compete in the Olympic Games, who fatally shot
his girlfriend in the early mornings of Valentine's Day,
claiming he mistook her for an intruder.
Man, do I hate that when that happens.
I was with you, Oscar.
The courts weren't, but I was with you.
So,
he was initially convicted of culpable homicide in 2014,
which is roughly equivalent to involuntary manslaughter here in the U.S.
Before his conviction was escalated to murder
by the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa in 2015,
leading to a 13-year, five-month sentence back in 2017.
Well, you know, South Africa has that whole restorative justice program
undergoing regular monitoring and participation in gender-based violence
and anger management programs.
And so he has to do that, but he was going to do that out of prison.
He's going to take care of that.
So we're going to let him out.
No problem.
He's been in for five years.
Almost six years.
There's 2017.
He's been in for six years.
And so that's enough.
That's enough.
That's almost half.
That's almost half of the time you were sentenced.
So Oster Pistorius is now out of prison too.
And I would, well, I mean, I know that he's a double amputee, but he is out walking around.
All right.
Stop it.
All right.
Let's talk some more criminals, shall we?
There is one story that I.
I don't know.
We've talked about things like this happening before,
and it just seems so strange to me.
So, British police, by the way, not here in America,
coming to a place near you very soon,
they're opened an investigation into a virtual rape
after a girl's avatar was attacked by a group of men
while playing video games in the metaverse.
So, you know, you strap on the head.
and you immerse yourself into the Metaverse.
And you do, I mean, there's, you know, there's gaming, there's fitness,
there's entertainment, social experiences.
I would love to do chewing the fat show on Main Street, downtown Metaverse.
But, you know, I digress.
So the child who was under the age of 16,
were reportedly in an online room when several adult male users,
these are digital metaverse characters.
I was going to say men,
but they're not their characters.
And so they approached her,
and I guess they, you know, attacked her
in the Metaverse room.
All right.
So while the incident, you know, happened, I don't know,
not in real life.
The girl, psychological and emotional trauma,
was that of an actual victim.
Okay.
So she suffered psychological trauma,
similar to that of someone who has been physically raped,
there's an emotional and psychological impact on the victim
that is longer term than any physical injuries.
All right, let me ask you a question.
As a parent, you have the glasses there.
You've got the oculus, the oculars there,
and you use it in the house.
Maybe you use it to golf.
Maybe you use it to box.
Maybe you use it to, I don't know, walk around the woods,
whatever, you know, whatever is available in the Metaverse.
Maybe you're buying property.
Maybe you're out buying real estate in the metaverse.
Whatever you're doing.
And some of the new glasses you can see in real life outside of you as well at the same time.
I mean, it's really cool.
But let me ask you a question.
When you let your kids use it, this is what you tell them this.
If something bad starts to happen in the metaverse, you can take your goggles off.
And then it's not really happening.
Or you can say, oh, look, my Metaverse character is being attacked.
I'll just sit here and watch these Dingleberries attack my Metaverse character
because they're not really attacking me.
I just, it's just incredible.
Then we had a story out of Florida who were making AI,
well, they say in the story, inappropriate images.
of their classmates.
The Pinecrest Cove Academy
in Westchester, it's Miami-Dade.
I love Pinecrest Cove Academy.
Man, you can't.
The two male students, after administrators,
discovered they had utilized an AI app
to superimpose the faces
of both male and female students
onto fabricated dude images.
Not funny.
I'm not laughing at that.
is not funny at all.
So the incident took place at the school, and upon learning of this situation, they reported
it to law enforcement.
Good, good, of course.
I hope they did.
And now the investigation is up, and those individuals responsible will face disciplinary action.
Good.
Okay, good.
But these students were arrested for this.
Okay.
Now, I will say this.
it happened on campus like I said
but it was during the holiday break
during a think Thanksgiving
we're finding out about this now
I think it would think it happened over Thanksgiving
I believe that this is probably
more of a crime than the Metaverse crime
but I mean
is it really
a crime
if I'm putting
well let's say I take your face and I put it on a nude body
boy I don't know
It's not now more than ever
You need to own your own
Self
Make sure you own yourself man
They own your properties
Own whatever content you create
Own yourself
Because if you don't
I mean there's been some AI stuff
Made out there of myself
I know this is a surprise
But there has been
And I wasn't harmed in any way
In real life
I know
I looked at it and went
Hey
That's not me
I'll be okay
I know.
Maybe I'm the crazy one.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink desperately.
So we all know that the Olympics are coming up, right?
You didn't know?
Yeah, I know.
I know.
They're going to begin July 26th,
2024 on NBC and Peacock.
So the Paris Olympics.
They better have the bedbug thing wrapped up in Paris.
I'll tell you that.
And in France.
Let's just say the whole damn country.
Because I want people, people need to be set aside when they come back to the country from France.
What do you mean?
We have to be locked up in a room?
Yes.
We want to make sure that you're not bringing any bedbugs with us.
You're going to just put us in a room.
Yes, that's what we're going to do.
You can't go back to life until we know you're not bringing in French bedbugs back to the country.
But hopefully they will.
Hopefully France will have that bed bug situation taken care of.
Okay?
but NBC has now announced that Snoop Dog is going to be a reporter for the Paris Olympics.
Man, I can't wait for that.
It will help provide coverage of the entire event.
And it says in this story, the global megastar, which Snoop is,
will be on site in Paris to provide regular reports for the Olympic primetime show.
So be ready for that.
Snoop Dog and the Paris Olympics.
Sounds fun already.
You know, something I learned,
I think we just found out about it.
I don't remember talking about this,
that we found out that Yellowstone is going to return
for the final installment in November of this year, 2024.
Now we have to wait, obviously, till November.
Okay.
But the network, Paramount,
network also revealed that two new Yellowstone
spin-offs, 1944, and
2024, are forthcoming.
I mean, okay, I'll look forward to it, no problem.
I'm happy to do it.
I do wonder
how they're going to pull off
the Yellowstone without Kevin Costner,
because I thought that he was going to come back,
but then I see a report that says,
no way.
will have no part in the Paramount television show's final episodes.
And that was what I thought originally.
But then they announced they're doing the second half,
so I figured he's coming back.
Nope, sorry, have a nice day.
Okay, so I guess we just, we open with the funeral for him.
Lett he died, he had a heart attack, he fell over,
he was trampled by a horse, whatever, he fell off the barn,
whatever, something happened to him.
And that's the funeral.
And so then the ending of the show goes,
from there. I guess that could be it.
And then I see where Sylvester Stallone,
they're looking to maybe get,
he won't do Tulsa King again,
season two. Tulsa King,
season one, was really good
and enjoyed the heck out of it.
So, you know, we'll see what happens
there. I've been watching,
I've been watching Fargo, too,
on, uh, I don't know what network is on. I,
I recorded through Hulu and it's whatever show.
It was, I think it's FX.
But, uh,
I'm down to the last two.
Now I think the last episode of this latest season,
season five of Fargo,
airs next week.
And I've been watching it.
I've enjoyed the heck out of this show, Fargo.
All four seasons and now five have been really good.
So if you get an opportunity,
it's got John Hamm and he plays a bad guy,
or a good guy depending on what side you're on.
And it's based on, you know, a true story, real-life events.
They change the names to, you know, protect the living people.
But out of respect for the dead, this is exactly how it happened.
And it's awesome.
It's been really fun to watch.
And I am, I'm looking forward to something else that's going to be fun to watch too.
So I know that, you know, we reported Taylor Swift when she passed the king.
Elvis Presley is a little disappointing.
For most weeks,
been atop the Billboard 200 album chart
by a solo artist.
Okay, well, congratulations, Taylor.
You're in front of the king, okay?
You're still not in front of the Beatles,
so why don't you shut up?
But I will say the king.
Oh man, Elvis Presley is now going to set a new stage.
All right?
They're going to have AI
and a holographic version of Elvis
is going to start doing shows in London
this November called Elvis's Evolution.
Now, kind of cool.
That's what they did with Abba, remember,
the Abba concerts,
and this is going to be happening
with all of these artists
that were, you know, huge and are dead
or wandering around brain dead.
So the show featuring the Lifeside
digitally recreated avatar of Elvis Presley
is set to debut, you know, later this year.
Also, that's good. Later on,
then following London that's going to go to Vegas, Tokyo, and Berlin, he's going to travel the world.
He's going to do the things dead that he couldn't do alive.
I mean, remember, he didn't even play out of the country.
I think he played a couple of shows in Canada, but all his other shows were here in the United States of America.
He never traveled around the world, but he was the king of rock and roll and the king.
I mean, it was a worldwide sensation.
And his show in Hawaii, I think was like the first show ever to be aired over satellite like that.
that went around the globe.
I mean, you're talking about the king, maybe.
You're talking about the king.
So you're going to be able to journey through the artist's life,
culminating in a concert experience.
We'll use a mix of artificial intelligence and augmented reality,
which blends computer-generated imagery and the real world,
as well as theater projection and multi-sensory effects.
Nice.
That's going to be awesome.
So they bought the rights to thousands of Presley's photos and video footage.
Really cool.
And that's what they're doing with,
and they use a real band
so that people are still work now
this
the ABBA stuff was
created from industrial light
and magic that was
George Lucas's company
right the Elvis
company
is what the heck is
the name of the Elvis company
a layered reality
that's right it's not
it's not
the George Lucas
group
but it's a different company.
I mean, the Abba voyage producer,
I remember when she talked about,
I don't know, man,
it was a while ago.
She was promoting that,
hey, we still have live musicians,
and so we keep the band working,
and this could, you know,
this could go on for around the clock.
And she also said that Vegas
will adopt this style of entertainment.
And here it comes.
So it's coming, the king.
And there's going to be plenty of artists that do that.
And remember, though, just so you know.
This is just so you know, because I know some of you will, you know, strap on the Metaverse, goggles and think that it's real.
It's not.
I know.
Dry your eyes.

Who died today?
Who died today?
Well, we'll begin with David's soul.
David's soul has died at the age of 80.
You remember David?
He was the actor best known for his role as Detective Kenneth Hutch.
And his name was Kenneth Hutch Hutch Hutch Hutch.
And Starsky and Hutch!
Da-da-da-da-da.
Starsky and Hutch was a monster show.
Very sad.
He passed away after a valiant.
battle for life
in the loving company
of family. That is
what his wife
said. So
rest in peace, David
Soul,
dying with a
valiant battle for life.
Okay.
I mean, I don't know, what else do you say?
It doesn't say
what he was sick
from, but
it does
I like the way she worded it, though.
It means something to someone.
The valiant battle for life
and in the loving company of family.
So, David's soul.
Rest in peace.
Now, what's his face?
Paul Michael Laser, Starsky.
He's still alive.
He's still alive.
I mean, I saw him.
He's been in a bunch of stuff.
But I was in Ray Donovan for a few episodes, which was great.
I mean, if you haven't seen Ray Donovan, oh my gosh.
We're not even talking anymore if you haven't seen Ray Donovan.
So we're done.
So rest in peace, David's soul at the age of 80.
Also, who died today?
Glenys Johns, Glenys Johns, the actress best known for her role as Mrs. Winifred Banks,
in Mary Poppins.
You remember Mary Poppins,
the 1964 movie
with Julie Andrews
and Dick Van Dyke,
the Academy Award winning
Disney film.
She played the suffragette
Mom Mrs. Banks.
She appeared in over 60 films.
Pretty incredible career.
She is
passed away at the age of
100.
So rest in peace,
Glynis Johns.
Now,
and it doesn't say that
she didn't die of that she was
you know a hundred so it was
natural causes
if it was that they would have said
something but it wasn't it was just
natural causes
at a hundred years old
Glenys John's
Mary Popper
I mean she wasn't Mary Poppins
she wasn't Mary Poppins
but she was in it
so
rest in peace
Glenis John
also
a Carlos Henrique Medellos, 26, reported missing on Christmas Day after he failed to return home from dinner with friends who later said he left their home at 2 a.m. in the morning, according to CNN Brazil. He's a YouTuber. He was found. He's been found and he's dead. Okay. That's why he's in Who Died Today at the age of 26. He was found in a couple's backyard.
That's not funny.
I don't know why you're laughing, okay?
They searched tirelessly for him,
and they visited a couple's house for the holidays,
and they noticed a mound of dirt.
His sister shared that she found his shirt showing in the dirt.
You know what?
Some people just don't know how to bury somebody.
Come on.
Okay, so he's got like one, I don't know,
he's got almost a couple million followers on YouTube.
Apparently, the homeowners,
they said that the influencer died from drug use
and intimate activity with Mello's sister.
Oh, okay.
But according to reports,
it was believed that they were all using cocaine.
And the man, there was a father of three kids,
and he was afraid of losing them.
Also, there was a pregnant lady using,
using and the 16-year-old girl also on cocaine
and the teenager was the YouTuber
at the moment of his death
and from what they reported
they were all so high they weren't thinking clearly
and you know when he died
they just buried about back
it's too bad
they were so high they couldn't dig a deep enough hole
and so then the sister said hey
that looks like my brother's shirt sticking out of
ground. Well, that's because
it was him.
So, rest in peace.
Carlos
Enrique Medeiros.
Dead.
The age of 26.
One more death. Well, kind of death.
Apparently,
the grocery store
Cerefour in France
has told people that
yeah, we're not going to sell Pepsi products anymore.
So who died today?
Pepsi products at the Carrefour.
grocery stores.
That concludes Pepsi,
lays, crisps, and
7-Up. The retail giant said
that, yeah,
they're
selling their too high prices,
so we're not going to sell their product anymore.
In fact, the retail giant said that
we're going to put a sign on the shelves
that say we no longer sell
this brand due to unacceptable price
increases.
So, there you go.
Take that to Pepsi. You're not going to be,
and care for anymore.
I guess people in France are okay with it.
PepsiCo didn't respond.
What are they supposed to say?
Well, okay, go ahead.
So I guess the U.S. company said that
they planned a modest price hike.
Yeah, that's because everything,
I don't know if you know this,
everything has had a modest price hike.
But some stores are standing up to it, damn it.
Coming to a grocery store near you soon.
There's going to be a whole lot of empty shelves.
And that's what the spokesperson for the grocery chain said as well.
There may be some more empty shelves too,
because the companies are starting to charge way too much money.
And so we were going to stop orders from consumer goods firms
and when the prices are too high.
Okay, well, that sounds good that you're for the people.
But on the other hand, perhaps as a grocery store,
you should sell the products that people want.
You can put them on the shelves and say, hey, this is the price.
And when people say, boy, that seems expensive, you could go, I know, that's what we have to charge.
Sorry about it.
You know, it's called price hikes, inflation, shrinkflation.
The packages are smaller, same price, less product.
I get it.
You know, talk to the customers about that instead of, I don't know, yeah, we're not selling that anymore.
We're going to leave the shelves empty?
You know how much money that?
that costs just to leave a grocery shelf empty without product?
Just incredible.
So good luck to Pepsi.
Good luck to care for in France for trying to make a stand for the people.
That's darn it.
And I don't know if they appreciate it.
They're not going to appreciate it when they come in and want Pepsi.
But I appreciate it because I don't buy Pepsi products.
So it's fine if the shelf is empty.
Oh, it's fine when it doesn't affect you.
Is that the way it works, Jeff?
Yeah.
that's the way it works.
Okay.
That's when it doesn't affect me,
whatever.
All right,
we got a lot of NFL this weekend,
and so, you know,
I'll be watching a club where we've got teams
make it into the playoffs,
making it out that Monday,
we have the national championship,
so I'm looking forward to that,
but we also this weekend have the Golden Globes.
I know, that's what you were thinking.
What else could you watch?
Well, you could watch the Golden Globes.
It's the 81st Golden Globes, by the way.
It's going to be airing on
CBS, not NBC, is if you cared. And comedian Joe
Coy will host the
24 Golden Globe Awards. He's actually
really funny. I don't know how funny he will be
hosting the Golden Globes, but he's a very
funny man. And so it might be worthy.
I know they've got the big Golden Globe
parties going on. I think those may have
already started.
I was just incredible because you have, yeah, well, some start today.
You've got the W Magazine party.
and then you've got a Golden Globes Foundation dinner.
Then tomorrow you start with the Independent Spirit Awards nominee brunch.
You've got the Amazon MGM studios to just a celebration.
And then you have the Apple TV Plus, just a cocktail reception.
And then you have the Asthma Film Awards.
And then we have the Heaven Gala.
Then we have the Golden Globes After Party.
I mean, it's just a busy weekend.
just a busy, busy weekend.
And so I want everyone to be prepared.
If you're not part of the Golden Globes extravaganza,
the least you can do is watch it and celebrate with everyone, right?
Even if you're living in the Northeast and you're not traveling,
there's going to be a big storm anyway.
So you're going to be home.
You'll be able to watch football.
I love that.
Storm can't go anywhere.
darn the look.
You mean I just have to sit here and watch football?
Yeah.
So there's going to be a big storm along the whole
in the East Coast stretching from Central Appalachia
to the upper northeast,
six to 12 inches of snow.
So be prepared.
All you people from Buffalo
traveling down to Miami for that Buffalo Miami game,
you might be stuck for an extra day or so,
so just be prepared.
Hey, I'm not the airline, okay?
I'm just letting you.
I'm just passing the news.
along. All right.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Yeah, that's why we send messengers.
Okay, because the messengers can be shot.
I never understood that at all.
That's why the king sends messengers.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Yeah, that's why the king sends messages.
Because when messengers get shot, oh well, they were just the messenger.

Leslie McLeod, welcome to What's the Lie.
Thank you very much, Jeffrey.
Hey, so, Leslie, what do you do for a living?
I'm a semi-retire truck driver.
I drive a charter bus now.
Oh, okay.
So you're a semi-retired truck driver, which means what?
You just drive a truck when you want to or when they ask you to?
I want to.
Yeah, when they asked me to.
But I just drive charter bus now.
It's so much easier.
That's a good gig.
It is.
It is.
I've dealt with a few charter bus drivers before, and most of them are fine individuals, by the way, Leslie.
I just want you to know that.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's a good gig.
Who are you hauling around?
What are you hauling around in your charter bus?
Are you hauling the gambling crew going to Biloxi or what?
Well, sometimes I do a charter, but we do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
We do the, we do Major League Baseball, and the Hockey, Tampa Bay Lightning.
Bay Lightning, right?
So we take them and then spring training and all the boys.
Okay, so you specifically, you like subcontract to the professional teams
and you take them to and fro from the hotels to the stadiums, stuff like that.
Yeah, and also I've done some charters like just back in August, I went up to Cape Cod,
and everybody said how beautiful it was and I didn't see it.
I didn't see it at all.
I was like, man, get me back behind the Mason Dixon.
That's beautiful.
Want to let somebody else grab those suitcases out from underneath the bottom of this thing too, okay?
All right, so Leslie.
That's exactly.
Are you ready to play?
Four headlines.
What if I'm not real?
What's the lie?
All right, here you go.
Here's your four headlines.
Headline number one.
New video game lets users try virtual Stanford Prison Experiment.
Headline number two, Andrew Lloyd Weber, the English composer and impresario,
asked the priest to bless the London home over Poltergeist.
Headline number three, Florida woman has entire driveway stolen in a strange scam.
Headline number four, grambling women's basketball team defeat the
College of Biblical Studies by 141 points in a record-setting basketball blowout.
Those are your four headlines, one of them not real.
Headline number one.
What?
New video game lets users try virtual Stanford Prison Experiment.
Headline number two, Andrew Lloyd Weber, the English composer and impressario,

Well, they seem all true, but there's a lie.
There is. There is one.
I know that the lady got her, I just read about the lady getting her yard,
her driveway stolen.
And I
can see somebody wanting something blessed
by a priest. They do that with
dogs and everything else.
I want
to go with number one.

Prison Experiment. You would be absolutely
correct. Congratulations.
