Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So, Pida, you know them, you love them. At least here on this show, Chewing the Fat, has a hell-on-wheels tour.

Now, they've done their Hell On Wheels tour before with chickens, but now they're on tour with pigs. They were in Dallas this last week, and they stopped in front of Terry Black's barbecue, honey-baked ham, and the Peppa Pig theme park. And their Hell on Wheels truck just parks or drives by these places and plays the sounds of dying pigs. So it's their mobile campaign And they are out there Hawnking for Compassion for Pigs And it's a nationwide tour

And the pig truck The Pug truck is making Well, pig stops Not pit stops Oh that's funny Near restaurants and food festivals And of course The Pig version of Hell on Wheels

Is great up Pita's Alley because there, the truck itself is designed to look like a slaughter transport showing images of pigs. Oh, that's great. It makes you just look at it and go, oh my gosh. Well, they're in Kansas

City, Missouri today, for those of you listening live, the 16th of April. And then tomorrow they're in Omaha, Nebraska, somebody to look forward to on their schedule. And so if you're walking downtown or planned on going to a barbecue spot and you hear,

yeah, that's the PETA hell on wheels pig truck. So I got some news for you, though. If they show up outside of a place of business and they air the big video squealing and the truck is there, it doesn't win me over. It just annoys me. And in fact, when you watch all the local cities, the local news,

cast, of course, Hell on Wheels comes to town and they're going to do a story on it. All the people interviewed and all these local stories from around the country are like, oh, it doesn't do anything for me. They're annoying us here at the restaurant. I can't figure out what they're doing. It's just annoying me. I'm still having my pork. Yeah, that's where everybody's at.

So thank you, Peter, for, you know, being on top of it with your Hell on Wheels tour. But showing up, and I guess they want you to. to talk to the driver who's there to tell us that pigs are highly intelligent animals, and they have complex problem-solving skills and remarkable memories. And these curious social animals love to spend time with their loved ones. Play games, bask in the sun, and explore the world around them. Like all our fellow animals, pigs can feel pain and fear. Yet the meat industry violently slaughters about 130 million of them.

Every year in the U.S. alone. I know, Peter. And that's because we like bacon. Let me eat! And we like ham. Oh, isn't ham pig? Yes, it is. And we like it.

And so we're going to continue to eat it. And all the squealing in the world does not win me over. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So Nick Carter, you know him, you love him, has now accused of sexually assaulting a woman and giving her STDs that led to cervical cancer. This is a lawsuit. The alleged incident took place between 2004 and 2005, approximately, because she doesn't really remember exactly when it happened.

But she claimed that she contacted STDs that led to her cervical cancer. The lawsuit alleges that the... Backstreet Boys performer, 45 now, sexually assaulted this Laura Penley, approximately 2004, somewhere in there when she was 19. And of course, he has denied all the allegations in a statement released by his lawyers. Now, she alleges that their interactions with one another took place around that time, 2004, 2005, for a sexually intimate relationship. and they would see each other approximately every few weeks

when she visited Los Angeles. She claims that sex was consensual at least three times before things, well, took a turn at his Hollywood apartment. She claims to have asked him to wear a condom, and he refused. So she thought, well, he was clean then of transmittable diseases. Ooh, if that's true, no, he wasn't. So according to her,

She had never had unprotected sex with anyone. Okay. She alleges that she'd gone to his apartment once again, but only with the hope of watching movies with the singer. Uh-huh. So you go there multiple times to have sex, but this time you went there to watch movies. Okay.

Carter told her no, because the only reason she was there was to have sex. Yeah, if the whole thing is true, yeah. So she alleges that the sexual assault forcefully happened on his bed, despite her saying, no, multiple time. Carter allegedly failed to use protection to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections to Penley. Now, her lawsuit, she instructed to keep the assault those secret since no one would believe her anyway. that's what she claims he said to her.

And she said that he apologized to her when she went to see him again, where she alleges she was sexually assaulted a second time. She alleges that Carter infected her with various sexually transmitted diseases, including the human papamala virus, right? Orpher phallus. Yeah, that virus, commonly known as HPV,

sexually transmitted infection known to cause health problems such as cervical cancer. Okay. She alleged she tested positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea, plus cancerous cells following a doctor's visit. So by August, she was diagnosed with stage two cervical cancer, which is horrible. No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to be that mean. I mean, the cancer is terrible.

The STDs aren't? No, not really. So she said that she was diagnosed with stage two cervical cancer and had to undergo numerous treatments, yeah, which caused severe emotional distress, physical language, medical issues, intimacy issues, and other complex trauma. She claims that she also has been harassed by Carter's fans after she testified against him at a deposition. due to Carter's willful and conscious disregard for her safety, she's seeking damages in excess of $15,000 and demanding a jury trial. Now, I will say, have you gone through stage two cervical cancer treatments,

and you claim that you had the human papill virus, HBV, and, um, uh, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. I would say that 15,000 bucks is not that much. Uh, a pretty reasonable amount.

So it's surprising to me that, uh, our man, Nick Carter has not just said, here's 15,000, get out of here. Which leads me to believe that perhaps he's telling the truth. Because for 15 grand, I mean, to make this crazy woman go away, and maybe she doesn't go away.

And maybe she's not crazy. Maybe she's right. I mean, I don't know. I mean, a lot of times during sexual encounters, no means yes. Not in today's world, Jeff. Not in today's world. I know. I know.

I know. I got it. And if what she says is true, uh, they, she used to go there and have sex. So we're to believe that this one time, You went there and you didn't want to have sex, and that's the time that he forcibly raped you. Okay.

According to the attorneys, Nick does not recall ever meeting Laura Penley. So was this all just a fiction of her imagination? That answer is false. I don't know. I don't know. He certainly never, according to the attorneys, had any romantic or sexual relationship with her,

ever. and plans to fight the allegations. Okay. He is also being sued, accused of sexual assault. Well, there's four women suing him. This is just another one on top of that. So Melissa Schumann, Ashley Rep, Shannon Ruth, have also accused the singer of sexual assault along with this penalty.

He's denied all of these accusations, allegations. and the Schumann Ruth defamation in 2023. Oh, he sued them for defamation in 2023. And the judge said, now you can't counter sue them for defamation. Weird. Okay. That case starts in December.

And Rep and Ruth's cases are going to be heard in Nevada on March of 2026. So he's got some sexual assault cases coming up. Are they true? I don't. no. This one sounds fishy to me.

I wasn't there. I don't know. It just sounds fishy to me. But it will be fascinating to get into this trial and I can't wait for it. Because I want to I want to know if you know, if she actually did get the

human peppa amorphalus virus or gonorrhea or chlamydia. I want to know. It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice?

at the Blaze.com and she submitted her possible joke of the day which I used was the you know what happens if you get ketchup in your eyes you have hindsight and I liked it it was funny and it made me laugh

so but she signed the email with her my coldcase.com. And I thought, wait, what? And so, I mean, somebody sends me a link. I mean, I'm going to go click on that link. And it's where, according to the website, they make cold case their priority. Your cold case, their priority.

That's right. Yeah, that's right. Now that website just opened. So I wanted to talk to Jill about it because I'm fascinating. by it. You know, we have so many... First of all, I don't know if she's... Jill, welcome to chewing the fat.

How are you? I'm doing great, Jeffie. Fantastic. Thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for your submission. Thanks for listening to the show. I really appreciate it. But I am fascinated by what you're doing there at my coldcase.com.

Okay, so... And, you know, thanks for the joke. Ha-ha, hindsight. I got it. It's a good joke. As a hindsight police officer. I got it. So, all right, so for you, what constitutes a cold case? Is it a couple of days, a couple of weeks?

For mycoldcase.com, what is a cold case? A cold case is a case where it's not based on time. It's based on basically when the investigation hits a point where it stops. And it's not proceeding in any manner. Okay. So there's no time frame. It's just a matter of the police have put it at the bottom of the pile. They put it in a box and on the shelf. And we're not technically done with it, but we're done with it, right? Right. For that time.

Understand. Because many police departments have a cold case department. A lot of people, a lot of times they don't have one due to budgetary restraints, that kind of thing. Do the police departments, are they happy to have Jill Bailey stroll? in from coldcase.com and say, hey, why don't you step aside? Let me take a look at this stuff. Well, we work with a lot of different types of agencies. I've been doing this for about 28 years, working with other professionals. And we do get a lot of calls from police departments. And like I said, different agencies that will call us up and say, hey, you know, we'd like you to take a look at it. Or we might contact him on behalf of the family if the family asks us

and say we'd like to be of assistance if we can. So, I mean, obviously, if the police department contact you, they just need to, they want to pair fresh eyes to look at what's happening with the cases, right? So what, do you get paid from the police department for that when they call you? We get paid by a lot of different ways. I'm a fan of that. Exactly. We use different kinds of professionals, depending on what kind of case it is, on what kind of insight we feel would be, most helpful for that case. And, you know, sometimes we wait for the reward. Sometimes the families

or the police departments pay us. It's a myriad of things, but we have to judge each case based on the situation. So it says on your website 8,000 cases solved. Correct. Correct. Correct. In 38 years. Okay. So, I mean, that's pretty, I don't know if that's great or if that's wonderful, but I mean, I'm happy that there's 8,000 cases solved that weren't going to be solved. So, I mean, that's fantastic. But what are the cases most investigated out of the 8,000 that you've solved? In fact, out of all the, out of how many of you, how many of you got sitting on your desk that you haven't solved?

I've only got four. Jill? Jill. All right. Maybe 18. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

So out of all those cases, what's the most investigated cold case? You know, what is it missing child, somebody's uncle got murdered, and they found him in the ditch, and the police don't know who did it, that kind of thing? Believe it or not, missing persons cases where there's suspicious circumstances

are the most strongest cases that are brought to us out of all the kinds of cases we do. I mean, that's insurance fraud, if they're still alive. that kind of thing. Correct. And sometimes things just don't look right of why they disappeared. It doesn't follow their behavior patterns.

And things just don't fit right. And that's when we step in and take another look and kind of try to figure out maybe what an alternative situation could be. Yeah. Why did Billy Bob just disappear? I like that. Correct. I like that. So what's a case that you can talk about that?

was your favorite. Just a, you know, a Reader's Digest version of a cold kiss. No, absolutely. Me and another private investigator by the name of Mike Heger from Missing Inc. We had a young lady came to us who said that she thought she might have been kidnapped. She wasn't sure. The person that raised her was not her father. Long story short, he had told her her parents had died in a car wreck and that he was her mom's boyfriend. and she couldn't find her parents where they were buried anything about them. It turned out, again, long story short, that her parents were alive and they reunited them. That's fantastic.

They had been told by this individual that their daughter was dead, that he had killed her and threw her in the mountains. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it was horrific. but the moment that I was standing there and I got to see them hugged their daughter. Oh, man, no kidding. It was just a moment that there's no compensation on the world, in the world that would compensate you for what you get watching that happen, knowing that they get to start new life together.

And the good part was the bad guy got caught. So, good, awesome. That's fantastic. So how many of your cases are you writing up for TV episodes, Netflix episodes, series, that kind of thing? Because we already have had, I mean, there's obviously cold case shows and everything. But, I mean, there's so many shows now that need content for episodes and series. It would seem to me that that possibility should be there. They have come to us in the past over the last 38 years.

Oh, wow. And they have used some of our stories. And it's kind of gratifying to see it play out. Yeah. Because, you know, you don't understand that when you're doing the case, you're kind of, you're making it make sense, but you don't really see it. When somebody acts it out for you and you see it,

it has a whole other dimension to the way it feels for you. Where, what state it has the most, well for you what state is contacting you the most for oh we're missing somebody and we need your help well as far as

family families contacting us are concerned the whole east coast is a very I hate to use the term hot spot but that's what it is where we get the most families contacting us as far as law enforcement

it's usually the smaller towns who have a very small police force who will call us and at least discuss with us how we do it, you know, what we bring to the table. And, you know, it's the little towns where there's maybe two or three officers and they have maybe one detective to cover everything. And those are the ones that we actually love to assist on because we understand they're overwhelmed. And, you know, we bring retired detectives. We bring other law enforcement in, you know, to look at the case and everybody gives a different perspective. Sure.

Hopefully we can move them forward. I love that. I wonder if, I'm just fascinated by it by it so much. I would like to, how is the genetic testing? Okay, so we just got news

that, you know, the company's going bankrupt, whatever the genetic, stupid company is. Yeah, yeah, 23 and me. And they're going bankrupt and everybody's, you know, everybody's DNA is going to be out in the open, which probably is anyway.

But how has that affected your investigations? Have that, has that helped or has it hindered most of it? Well, I'm a genetic genealogist. It doesn't really hinder my investigation. I mean, you don't need to talk down to me. Okay, I got it. There's, yeah, it hasn't really hindered my investigations at all because I use many other methods. But I love it.

And, you know, we've had a lot of calls from people panicking about that. You know, they're worried about their information. And, you know, we tell them exactly what the news has told them to go in and delete their information. And that usually makes them more comfortable. And there are other reputable sites out there that will be around probably longer than I will. Right. Jill, I thank you so much for coming on today. I want to talk to you more about, I mean, it's time to move on here on showing the fat.

if I can ever do anything for you at all, man, you need to contact me because I would love to. And if you have someone, if you're listening and you are missing Uncle Billy or cousin Bobby, or, you know, you want to know if someone is related to you or not, do you do any of that? No, it's got to be a cold case. Absolutely. It's got to be a crime.

Nope, absolutely. We do all kinds. We do adoption unions. We do just missing people. We get calls of all sorts and we're happy to look into anything. and we always look at it first before we tell them whether or not we feel like we can assist. So it's my coldcase.com. Mycoldcase.com.

Correct. Huge fan. And just by the way, Jeffrey, you're always saying that you're the biggest fan of certain people. My cold case is the biggest fan of Jeffey's chewing. Listen to it daily over and over. Oh, that's very kind. I appreciate it. Mycoldcase.com.

Jill Bailey, thank you very much. I appreciate you coming on today. No problem. You have a good day, Jeffrey. Hey, that was awesome. Thank you. I really appreciate it. No problem.

I'm serious if, I mean, I don't know what the hell I could do, but if I could ever do anything, I would definitely help. Well, I'll tell you what. If you're ever interested, Jeffrey, when we get a reunification or we get a code case resolved that the family is okay talking about. Oh, I love that. No. Yeah.

That's a great idea. we do have to speak to families if we use stories for, you know, if we use them for teenagers or whatever. And there are some families who want to spread the word because a lot of people watch TV, but they don't realize how many cold cases, how many missing people are really out there. Right. I should have asked you that. Jeez, that's a stupid question. That's an easy question. How many are there? I mean, because you're stilled 8,000 and 30 years. Yeah. Well, you know, and that's utilizing a lot of other resources and a lot of other people, so I didn't do it so low, of course.

But, you know, just when you think that you've made a dent in the world of cold cases and missing people, there's more. And in the last 15 years, we've seen a higher rise in cold cases and missing people than ever before. Wow. And you just got to wonder with this many people going missing, what's going on? Yeah, what is going? Is it just vaccination deaths? That one I wouldn't be surprised about.

I wouldn't. I would not either, but nobody's ever going to talk about that. I'll tell you that. I should have talked to you about that, too. I'll talk to you again. I'm fascinated by this. Absolutely, if you have any stories that you want to tell. 100%.

I'm happy to do that. I'll make it into a special, just a Saturday show or something. That'd be great. No, we would love to, you know, work with you on that. Yeah. Like I said, I've got families that are always saying, hey, if our story can never help somebody, let us know. And, you know, I know that even some of the family members would not mind being on the show. Absolutely.

Listen, I'll make it so that it's, you know, maybe a separate thing rather than just being done stupid chewing the fat. But I would love to do that. That'd be great. No, we, you know, your show, people don't realize this, Jesse, but. You know, I know that you enjoy what you do, but what you do helps us because when we've dealt with something that's highly emotional and traumatizing and it really leaves a mark on us emotionally, mentally, we put on chewing of fat and we laugh and we joke. And we're like, that made our job so much easier because at the end of the day, we can

stand up and go help somebody else. And we seriously use tools like that in order to help us deal with some of the things that we have to face. That's very kind. Thank you. You know, we are strong believers in chewing with that. So keep it up. Very, very kind. Thank you very much.

I appreciate it, Jill. I'll talk to you later. Okay. Have a great day. Talk to you soon. Bye. Bye. We haven't even been to the break room yet.

So I thank you, Jill Bailey, for coming on the show. I'm fascinated by what she does. and we'll definitely talk to her again because after she hung up, I thought of three or four more questions I wanted answers to. So we'll talk to Jill again. Let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh boy, I don't know what the unions are going to say about this, but it's being reported that Starbucks is updating its dress code for baristas, requiring that they wear solid black tops to allow the iconic green apron to shine. Now, personally, I think, yeah, why not? You come into work, that's your uniform,

go ahead and wear it. But I bet that the unions are not going to be happy. How dare you tell us what we have to wear? It's bad enough we have to wear this damn apron that says Starbucks out of it. Now you want us to wear a black t-shirt underneath it? Yes. Yes, we do.

No, we don't need to threaten them. No, my gosh, no. Brian's too busy flying back and forth from California to, you know, to Seattle. And that's a good gig. Remember, that's part of his CEO gigness. Yeah, I can work for your company and be a CEO. But, man, I do not want to have to move out of California where I live. So you have to provide me a jet to fly back and forth to the office.

You know, three or four days a week. yeah okay we could do that okay and now he now he wants people to wear the same colored t-shirt dark colored t-shirt so it pops the green on the Starbucks apron that bastard I mean that's your uniform right

I mean that's what you wear to work most places have a uniform that they wear to work that's just part of the deal I'm just saying that I believe that the unions will probably go up against it but you know it's not I mean, that's what they want for their uniform.

That's what they get. You're there serving coffee. I'm sorry, you're a barista. And just wear your black t-shirt, wear your green apron, and serve me the coffee. Okay. Ah, good. We're done?

All right, good. Okay, so we had the all women going to space crew, went up into space. And, you know, did they go to space? Well, you know, they passed the carbon line. Carbon line. Yeah, they were there. They passed it.

Although I don't think they said it. We've got the video of them in the capsule. Isha Beau, Amanda Nijan, Gail King, Katie Perry, Carrie Ann Flynn, and Lauren Sanchez. They were all picked by Lauren. It doesn't say anywhere where the, how much they paid for this. So I think Jeff foot the bill for this. I think this is Jeff foot in the bill.

of Lauren's just saying, I want to take it all women's face and I want to take it all women's face. Fine. Shut up. All right. I'll pay for it. Sure people have paid $28 million a seat.

But I'll pay for it, okay? We'll just send it up. Everybody can make a big deal out of the all women flight, you know, crew and they want to be treated as a crew. And Katie Perry talked about the training. They had a couple of days. They had a couple of days trading.

Okay, so when you walk in the capsule, you're going to sit down in this chair and buckle in. Do you think you can handle that, Katie? Ugh. Now it's training. They went flying the thing. Okay, anyway, I digress. So we have great video and audio when William Shatner went up,

and he gave us some great stuff. And that crew that all went up with William Shatner, I apologize for not having their names in front of me now. Nobody cares. William Shatner was on your flight. You knew you were going to get, you know, you were going to get overshadowed by him. But his flight sounded, you know, like this.

God. Weightlessness. Oh, Jesus. Carmeline. Holy, yeah. No description. Now, hearing that, of course, I had made me want to hear the... No, you can just let it go.

Let's play the music underneath. That's fine. Oh, gosh. Jesus. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No description. I mean, it's just perfect.

Okay. All right. We heard this a thousand times. I love it and I can listen to it another thousand. But I want to get to the all-women capsule. Okay. So we've got the video of them in space. All right.

And it's not even, I mean, let's go ahead and play it without the music. We haven't seen it. I want to see it myself. I bet you do. Oh, that's a good, that's a good porn music line though. Go ahead. Take us back. No, I don't want the music.

Flint up there. Flint, I got you. I got you. That's when they're holding up their little stuffed animal for the kids. I don't have to tell you. Look at the moon. Oh, you guys, I don't have to tell you, look at the moon. Then why are you telling me?

You guys. And Katie Perry, then she's holding her little daze. for her baby and she also holds up a list of her concert dates so she could say that she promoted her new concert coming out to space

in space. That was a big deal and she showed it on camera and then you know it floats off not in space though it floats off in the capsules just trash gets swept up later why are we not hearing it? What's going on? I want to hear more.

Yapping in the capsule. I'm proud of you friend. Proud of you, friend. How are you? It's four minutes. The moon! You guys, I have to tell you, look at the moon! Yeah, I know. I know. You already said that. That's amazing. Wow, look at the blue line!

I know! Oh my God! Wow. That's our cute moon! Okay, all right, so let's see if it works well with this audio. Let's hear the space capsule audio. I want to see it myself. Got it?

One, two, three. Oh, yeah. In space, Katie. Oh, my little stuffed animal. Oh, yeah, I got you. I love you too. I kissed your stuffed animal in space. Katie stare us with a little daisy.

I will have to tell you, look at the moon. Guys. That's amazing. That is, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Wow, look at the blue line. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

The blue line. That's math, by the way. The blue line. Anyway. I think Katie has a little concert tour on a star. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. We haven't seen it.

All right. You get the idea. You get the idea. So it's not quite as good as to William Shatner, but you get the idea. It's pretty good. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

Well, let's begin with Wink Martindale, Wink Martindale, Mr. TV game show, Mr. L.A. Radio, dead at the age of 91. Now, you may remember him because he hosted Tick-Tac Doe, High Rollers, Gambit. It's very sad that apparently he died surrounded by family and friends. His wife of 49 years was there, I guess, beside him, dead at the age of 91. One of the stories that I was fascinated by in reading about the life and times of Wink Martindale,

who was born in Jackson, Tennessee, started his career as a disc jockey. And at the age 17, he was at a Memphis station, W.H.B.Q. In 1954, when a fellow DJ Dewey Phillips played Elvis Presley's first record, that's all right. And he played it on the radio for the very first time. After Phillips was asked to play the record over and over, Martin Wink said, hey, why don't we get Elvis down here to the radio station?

And they did, and that was his first radio station interview. And he was a big part of friends with Elvis forever since then. That's just a fascinating story that he was friends with the king. That's two people. two people in my world that have died when a wink wasn't in my world but I'm just pretending that my world that have died that actually had relationships with Elvis Presley. The guy that I do Saturday morning

live with Brad, his woman, his woman, Beth not. Her dad just passed away, rest and peace to him, but he was friends with Elvis. I mean, come on now. What is happening in this world? All the Elvis friends are dying. And rest and peace to wink Martindale dead at the age of 91. Then we have Patty Higson. Patty Higson, you know Patty, P-A-D-D-Y Higson.

She's a pioneering figure in Scottish film and television. Duh. She passed away at the age of 83. She had a battle with cancer. And she is regarded as the mother of Scottish film. I don't have to tell you that. I mean, you already know that. Her career spanned over five decades during which she played a crucial role in shaping the nation's screen industry.

So when you think of Scotland and the Scottish people and Scottish film, you think of Patty Higson dead at the age of 83. And I guess we're getting around to searching the Gene Hackman residents out there in New Mexico because, remember, she had, the wife had Hunter virus, and she was dead for a couple days and Jean was wandering around the house not funny not funny at all sad, sad really

but it took him a couple of days to die to go two or three days to die after she killed over but she had hunted virus and didn't know it and that's what we were told and there was no rats or anything in the house but apparently they now

have found rodent feces and three in three garages, two sheds, two casitas, and an additional live rodent and a dead rodent and an entire nest were found in the three detached garages, according to the report.

So I guess, you know, she could have been out there in the casita, you know, breathing in the air. He's thrown all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and it stunk so bad. Yeah, it wasn't like that, but it might have been like that in one of the sheds. one of the casitas you don't know when she was breathing in

the old rat poop and that gave her the hunter virus she didn't even know it she didn't even know it and according to everything that's being reported you know when you have hunter virus there was due to a feces thrown all over the walls

the floor the ceiling in a stunk so bad I don't think that was the hackman house but it could have been it very well could have been and they are saying that once you get you know, hunt a virus. It takes a while for you to, you know,

know, know, know, know, know that it's actually hunt a virus because you'd feel like you had flu symptoms, which, which, that's why she had, she had made an appointment to go for oxygen therapy. So she probably felt like she actually had the flu, which was hunt a virus.

And that's why she made the appointment to go for oxygen therapy. She never made it, though. And the gene was just wandering around the house for days. I mean, I just can't get that. I can't get that out of my head. I seriously, I can't get that out of my...

Yeah, I know. It was all... It stunk so bad. We got it. I can't get that out of my head, though. Just terrible. So she drops over and dies. Now, does the dog die after she died?

Because there's a dead dog in the picture, too, in the cage. So we don't know when the dog died. I don't know if the dog died the same time she did before after, or did the dog die after? Was the dog still alive? While Gene was wandering around the house trying to figure out, you know, where he was at, what he was doing. And then he keeled over in the... Right!

With the whole house, it was deafening. Nobody in New Mexico could hear that. The whole house was flatlining. It was sad, really. It's terrible. Sad. And I've been watching, I see every movie I turn around these days. Got Gene Hackman in it.

And, you know, I turn on a TV. There's another Gene Hackman movie. And I'm thinking, so sad. I mean, the guy was awesome. And then he was, you know, busy with Hunter Virus Woman in New Mexico. It's just the whole thing is sad. And I mean, boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

So I see we just got an update on the measles cases linked to the Texas outbreak. So we're at 561 measles cases. 20 new infections confirmed over the last five days and at least 58 people have been hospitalized so far per new data from Texas

health officials. I don't know that that those, what about the New Mexico? Are they hanging out with the Hunter virus too in New Mexico? It's possible. I know. Of course they're blaming it on all the unvaccinated individuals

individuals who's vaccination status is unknown. So let's see for cases, four the cases are among residents who have been vaccinated. Oh, huh, with one dose of the measles, mumps, and rebella vaccine. Seven cases are among those vaccinated with two doses.

Huh, interesting. So it doesn't stop that. Why are we playing the chickens? I don't understand. See, New Mexico, that's got 364 cases. Yeah, that's not the Texas cases. So, I mean, I know they're gathered together, but they're, right there on the border next to each other where

these measles cases are flaring up up and so now we've got to break it up between Texas and New Mexico as a Friday today is Wednesday the 16th of April 2025 for those of you listing live as a

Friday 712 measles cases have been reported this year in at least 24 states at least five states including Indiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, and Texas are reporting outbreaks, meaning

three or more related cases. Okay. So, measles is coming back. Not a hunter virus, but it's coming back. Pretty sure if you have measles, you don't. Yeah, pretty sure you're probably safe.

A couple people have died. I know. And they're blaming it on the measles, but that's not really what killed them. Remember when we, you know, people in the U.S. used to have measles parties? Ah, never mind. I don't want to get into it. I'm just letting you know the cases are out there. Okay, so we started the show with pigs and chickens.

That's why he's playing the stupid chickens things. We started the show with pigs and chickens. I just want to tell you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, so we might as well end with pigs and chickens. Okay? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first clinical trial to test whether gene-edited pig livers can temporarily support people

with sudden liver failure who are ineligible for human organ transplants. Yeah, we can't give you a human. Oh, man, you are. You're too sick. You've got, I don't know if you got hunter virus or if you've got liver virus, but, yeah, you know, you may have that, but you may be up for the gene-edited pig liver.

Probably should be fine. So instead of receiving a new liver, will be connected to an external device that filters their blood through a pig liver for 72 hours, giving their own liver time to recover and hopefully regenerate. Wow. So sounds like fun. I don't know if PETA would be okay with this

because if you're hooked up to the gene-edited pig list, liver. If it doesn't come out after you cough, do the pig squeal? PETA showing up at these places? I don't know. So the trial is led by biotech firm Egenesis and medical device maker Organ Ox. Love them. Uh, will enroll up to 20 patients between the ages of 10 and 70 with acute on chronic liver failure. A sudden worsening of, liver disease or hepatic enthaphaphalis. Yeah, or that.

It's a brain disorder caused by reduced liver function. Participants will be monitored for a year to assess safety and liver function changes. Earlier tests in the U.S. using deceased patients showed the pig livers could function for two to three days.

Roughly 35,000 patients are hospitalized each year in the U.S. for acute or acute on chronic liver failure, many of who can't get a timely human transplant. So we're going to hook you up to the gene-ended pig liver. And just sit there and shut your face. No, we don't want that.

We don't want you to flat line. We want to hook you up to the pig liver. Then you'll be fine, hopefully. And that was the pig. So then we have the chicken story. This was a joke of the day sent to the show from Amy. Why did the chicken fall into the well? I don't know, Jeff.

Why did the chicken fall into the well? Because it couldn't see that well. See what she's saying is that now you got it.
