I won't stand for it And on top of which USA Today It's the Gulf of America now Okay, it is not the Gulf of Mexico But I digress Restaurants Throughout the Gulf Coast

Are serving imported shrimp You bastards By telling their customers That they're feasting on Fresh crustaceans fished from the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of America! So they have this CD consulting, I love them, a food safety technology company that tested shrimp from a randomly chosen restaurants in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Biloxi, Mississippi,

Galveston, Texas, and Tampa Bay, Florida. My old stomping grounds, which I love. researchers found a significant number of restaurants were passing off their shrimp as locally sourced even though they were grown on foreign farms and imported into the USA

these cities with the highest shrimp fraud rate Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg, Florida. 96%. Okay, this can't stand. I'm laughing because well we don't even know if it's true. All right.

The reason I say that is these studies that they're doing, this CD consulting, it's SEA, capital D consulting. They have a partnership with Florida State University, and they own a patent on what it calls the right test, capital, all capital letters, R-I-G-H-T, T, small-case letters, ESD. and this test can detect the authenticity of the shrimp. So they put the DNA sample solution into this right test, and it tells you the presence of a gene-specific to the Atlantic white shrimp, which are particularly prone to substitution. Now, the new test can detect raw and cooked species,

knocked down a typically five-day process to as little as two hours. Now, are we going to find out in a year that this test was wrong and that it wasn't doing the DNA properly? I don't know. Just taking a guess, I don't know. But as of now, these shrimp fraud bastards bastards are telling us We're getting shrimp from the Gulf of America when we're not. And we can't have that.

I know, listen, Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay, I love, oh, no, I don't want to shoot them. I'm going to give them a warning. You know, listen, I love you. Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, the whole, you know, Florida, West Coast. Love you. But, you know, stop lying to us. Okay.

If you're getting the shrimp that's not from the Gulf of America, just tell us. Just tell us. Stop trying to say, oh, yeah, we're getting. That from the Gulf. And when you're not. We just can't have that. That cannot stand.

Am I going to still come to your restaurant? Absolutely. Do I care that much? Not really. But I can't stand. It can't stand. This shrimp fraud must be stopped. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. Now the shrimp fraud thing may not matter anyway. Because I found out today something I did not know. There's an asteroid. 224 YR4 and it may strike the planet okay it has a 1.3% chance of hitting Earth

scientists gave it a 3 out of 10 on the Torino scale that's the second highest rating ever given to an asteroid a zero on the scale means there's no threat well obviously 10 is essentially you know we're all dead. So a three is a mild concern. Yeah.

Yeah, we're not all dead. Just half the Earth, that's all. Don't worry about it. So 1.3% chance that YR4 makes an unwelcome rendezvous with Earth. I say no. I don't want that. We need to do something about it. And now, I will say this, that the asteroid is not predicted to come

close to hitting us until 2032. But that's just around the corner. That's just happening. I mean, before you know it, it's going to be 2032. And we're going to be ringing in the new year. And we're going to be concerned about YR4. And I don't want that. So hopefully we'll find a way that we can, you know,

shoot it out of the sky. I mean, we've seen the documentaries of what happens and how it happens to asteroids coming toward Earth. No, that's flying in space. No, no, no, no, my gosh, no. The documentary is like, you know, the documentary is like Armageddon,

we saw what happened, and we have to drill, we have to send up drillers. It's just what has to happen. We can't blow it up. I mean, the smartest man in the world during this documentary told us that if we shoot all our nukes at it, and hit it,

it's just going to laugh at us and keep coming. And he used the example of, let's say, you put a firecracker in your hand, and you leave your hand open, and it blows up, what happens? Nothing, you know, a little burn little skin off your hand. Now you close your hand,

and the firecracker goes off, what happens? There's your hand. So they needed to drill, and that's what happened in the documentary of Armageddon. And so do we need to get to watch? and start drilling before 2032? Yes, that's probably what needs to happen. We need to find a way to end

YR4. Did I call it the right name last time? YR4. I think I called it YR2. It's not YR2. It's YR4 coming and striking the planet. So just be prepared. Be prepared. I mean, we're either going to get crushed by an asteroid

or we're going to eat something that has an undeclared allergy. in it. I mean, we had the, and I didn't realize that so many people were allergic to milk, but apparently there are. We had the chips in Washington and Oregon recalled because of an undeclared allergen, milk. Okay. Well, now we have federal officials upgrading a chocolate recall to the highest risk level over fears that consuming the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Three products from Cal Yee Farm. And man, you can't pull me away from Cal Ye Farm chocolate. So the dark chocolate almonds, the dark chocolate apricots, oh, now you're singing my tune. And dark chocolate walnuts have been given a class one recall, classification for containing an undeclared allergen milk. So undeclared

milk and food products can lead to serious health issues for people with milk allergies. You're telling me. I understand. I'm just reporting including hives, cramps, dizziness, swollen vocal cords, and unconsciousness

and death. So that's according to the FDA. So, you know, if you're a fan of the dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate apricots, and dark chocolate walnuts from Cal Ye Farm be careful

because it has an undeclared milk allergen. Then there's another recall that does, I actually do use this product from time to time when they're out of Swanson products. A recall product of

the great value brand, that's Walmart's brand, of chicken broth sold in the 48 ounce containers. I buy chicken broth all the time. Usually Swanson, though. But I use chicken broth because I mean, there's my chicken noodle soup that I have, well, it's not really

chicken noodle soup, it's more like noodles with chicken broth, that's what I have. That I call it by chicken sauce. But it's easy and it's good and it's a lot better for you than the canned chicken noodle soup. It's less salt. I'm not telling you how to eat healthy. I'm just telling us what I do. Okay, so back off. But from time to time, if they're out of

Swanson, you may get the great value brand. And so the reason for the recall is potential for packaging failures that could compromise the sterility of the product resulting in spoilage. So nobody wants to, nobody wants to have your boiled noodles and then

you pour the, you pour the juice all over the noodles and then you heat it up again. So you have that chicken broth noodle soup. Ooh, it would be nasty if it was spoiled. Hey nobody got time for that? I totally. of 2,023 cases were included in the recall. Each case

includes six products. Wow, that's a lot of them. So over 12,000 cartons of broth were recalled. And the best used date is by March 25, which is not true because of the there's an issue with the containers that is going to make it go bad

very, very fast. So, heads up. If you use chicken broth, I think you're still good with the beef broth, but if you're still, if you're using chicken broth and you use the great value brand. Look at the cart and make sure that there's no spoilage.

With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. I have to talk about Justin Tucker. I'm sorry. Justin Tucker, the kicker of the booker,

Baltimore Ravens, the NFL team, has been accused of inappropriate behavior at four high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore region. Now, the guy is a giant in Baltimore. It's Justin Tucker. He's a kicker. He's an awesome kicker, and he's been a star for them for a long time. And according to this story at the Baltimore banner, which had some typos in it, too, you think this was such a big story that they'd make sure that all the words were typed right. But no. Anyway, I'd die. Just me noticing the story, that's all.

So I'm just saying. So, the massage therapist, according to six of massage therapists, six massage therapists in Baltimore, they accuse him and have told a story to the Baltimore banner, that he exposed his genitals, brushed two of them with his,

his exposed man part and leaving what they believed to be goo on the massage table after three treatments. Okay, this is what they allege. So they allege. Now, you say to yourself,

oh my God, not terrible. Well, according to them, if this happened, it happened in 2012, between 2012 and 2016. Where you been? What's going on why now it's absolutely agonizing so the one massage therapist said i've told people about this over the

years and they either act like it's hot gossip or a joke uh but it was really degrading was it was it degrading okay are you have been one said that she's been emotionally scarred okay okay okay come on So they claimed that they wrapped him up in the towel, and he kept swiggling to get naked. And now he's a kicker, and they talked about how he wanted, he would say, I want you to focus on my inner thigh,

really sore from kicking. Yeah. So he has denied all of these allegations, and completely he has denied it, his attorneys have denied it. Of course, now the NFL is looking into it, Baltimore Ravens are looking into it, and so we'll see what comes of it

but I mean the guy's married and his public persona is you know his Catholic faith and he's been married so this happened he got married I think in 2015 thing like that because he's now 35 so I mean he's one of the

the one of the best kickers in the NFL and so these six women I guess shared first hand accounts so then we find out that they said that two of the the massage parlors had banned him. Because they just couldn't work. I can't work on it.

It's too gross. He just keeps waving his thing around. And I keep trying to wrap it up and he wants it. He just keeps getting naked. I can't take it. So, but the attorneys for Justin Tucker say that the one spa that said that he was banned

has pictures of him with the therapist after they say that he was banned from the spa at the spa. Because they're getting pictures with Justin Tucker from the Baltimore Ravens. Just incredible. And they said that they have the one spa sent him communications

of special discounts and sales going on after they say he was banned. So, Oh, we'll see. And I just, it's so, uh, are there, is there a, is there a crime here? Don't see one. It's been over 10 years for most of it and, you know, close to 10 years since this, uh, these allegations are said to have happened.

Uh, it's just amazing me. I'm not quite sure what the Baltimore. Banner is doing, you know, going after Justin Tucker, except that they want to be recognized as having a scoop. So here's the thing. Banner, when you do a big scoop, proofread your stories. That's all I'm asking.

Just proofread your stories. Okay. That's all. That's all I'm asking. Just an example that drove me crazy. Okay. In the story, they're quoting one of the massage. therapist and she's telling her

story and she in the story it says which she found discomfiting it's not discomforting it's they write discomfitting that's not the not the word i'm just

just an example banner just one example uh do better do better so apparently they a claim in the story that they were acting on a tip that they had received

and that's when they began to investigate and so we'll see we'll see what comes I mean they're just destroying this guy's reputation over these accusations from uh between 2012 and 2016

and uh it's very hard for me to believe but I I can't believe that if it was actually happening then why something wasn't said. You know, why they didn't take care of it then, because they say that they, you know, were emotionally scarred and that they were, they couldn't even massage one girl. So I had to quit and get out of the business for a little while.

Did you? Did you? Is that the reason you got out of the business? Okay. All right. I'm fine. You know what? Fine.

That's fine. I know what, we believe everyone, don't we? No. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I look forward to Black History Month, starting tomorrow. For those of you listening live, today is the 31st of January, 2025. So that means tomorrow is the first of February.

That's the way that works. Calendar, end of the month goes into the great next month. That's why Sunday is February 2nd. That's the way it works. One, two, get it? And so the Grammy Awards will be on, oh man, am I looking forward to the Grammy Awards?

Now, they're, they, I saw a thing on the Grammy Awards, and of course they're having it, and it's going to be, you know, they're going to raise money for the wildfire relief effort,

and they're saluting the bravery and dedication of the first responders, Got it. But the program begins at 8 p.m. Eastern. And that's going to stream on Paramount Plus and the CBS. And it's coming to you live from Crypto.com Arena. The 67th ceremony of the Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah.

And he's so good. And this is for the fifth consecutive year of Trevor Noah hosting the Grammy Awards. and again, like I said, he's so good. But they said that they were going to do it no matter what. But I saw another report where they're going to start, they're going to start streaming. And I don't know if it's just going to be on Paramount Plus

or it's going to be on the Grammys YouTube page or whatever. They're going to start streaming like it, I don't know, middle of the afternoon. So we're going to be able to see, you know, the hoity-toits all walk the red carpet into the Grammys and we'll be able to see how great and how sad they are over the fires and people losing their homes. And it'll be wonderful

because I'll be glued. Glued to wherever it's streaming. And man, do I want to I want to be glued to wherever it's streaming. Oh, no, see, that's, they refused to move it from L.A. They said we're having it

there. That's the Oscars, too. The Oscars postponed some announcements, but they said we're having it. We're not stopping this. They have to. They have to because they're big, remember we read the letter that they all want business back to Hollywood, and they want all of that. I mean,

they need to do as much business as they can now in Los Angeles, because they want people to come back and make Hollywood and movies again in Hollywood. Oh, that

kills me. That just kills me. That's funny. Hey, congratulations. Chili's, I haven't been to a Chili's in quite a while. I used to go to one in Pennsylvania all the time. It was so good. And I haven't been to a Chili's in so long. But apparently, traffic at the U.S.

here in the U.S. for Chili's, for its three apps for $20. The Triple Dipper, 20% increase last quarter. Sending shares through the roof. They're all happy. Brinker International to a record high. The amount of sales.

sales attributes to the triple dipper increase from 7 to 14%. I mean, incredible. Chili's devoted more marketing. That's no kidding. I saw a lot of it because I could remember seeing the ads going, I haven't been to Chili's in a long time. And I still didn't go. But I did say to myself, I have been to Chili's in a long time.

So the ad, you know, half work. I didn't go there, but I thought about it. And so now, you know, they've got all kinds of restaurants struggling. We talk about them here closing and really struggling. but Chili's is saying, hey, our three apps for $20 keeping us alive, the triple dipper baby. I will say, I've heard a lot of reports about Chili's not being what they used to be. But everything changes, everything evolves. You've got to, you know, you got to make, when you're making room for the triple dipper

and the, you know, the three apps for 20 bucks, something's got to go. Something's got to go. So it's inevitable that it's going to be. be something that someone somewhere loves. And so I just hope they didn't scrimp on the flavors. I used to get the cheeseburger

and the fry. I used to go in there. When I first moved to Pennsylvania, I moved there without my wife and kids. Boy, did I hate that. It was terrible. I couldn't wait until they finally moved back up to Pennsylvania from Florida.

Then, so I used to go into the one Chili's by myself because I was by myself, and I shoot up to Chili's and the weekend. And man, it was so good. That was so good. Just sit there at the Chili's bar, have my burger and fries and watch whatever sporting event was up on the screens

behind the bar was so good. And then, fortunately, my family arrived, and it was so much fun. I didn't get an opportunity to go to Chili's any longer. And so while I was sad about not going to Chili's, I was more happy about my family being, home. Oh, and you know the one thing that we, I've been meaning

to talk to you about this that we didn't get to the drones in New Jersey. What happened to them? Where did they go? What happened if they just disappeared? They're gone. Well, we found out at one of the White House official briefings, I think it was at Watcher Face's first briefing.

Press Secretary Caroline Levitt at her first briefing, she came out and she said that the drone sightings that had all of the neighbors and co-war workers in a tizzy late last year were no big deal. Oh, okay. After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers

were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Okay. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private, individuals that enjoy flying drones. Were they? Were they? That's what she said, Jeff. Okay.

The sightings ignited fears that a hostile nation or alien civilization was surveilling U.S. military outposts in the area, despite repeated reassurances from the previous administration that nothing was amiss. The previous administration did never say, didn't ever say. didn't ever say did never say, did never say they didn't say it okay

they didn't say that's FAA research it was that and they didn't say that's various other reasons oh could you elaborate just a

just a tad just let what are the various other reasons uh could you can you let me know what those are no oh okay we just go with that

all right we'll go with that then and we just, it was hobbyists and recreational and private individuals who enjoy flying drones would just go with that. Okay, all right. So there you have it. There you have. It's nothing. Don't even worry about it. They're gone now, apparently.

And so, you know who else is gone? Even the hobbyists and recreational and private individuals who enjoy flying drones, those are gone as well. So, just wondering. Just wondering. That's all. Just wondering. I'll stop. Right.

You know, we've been out here now for, I don't know, about a month. We haven't seen a drone. Did the aliens leave? Or was it just, oh, wait.

It was just a hobbyist and recreational people and some private individuals, you know, enjoying flying drones. So why don't you just forget about it, okay, because it was nothing.

And it was probably, you know, various other reason. You know that. It was 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.

Who died today? We could start with a 32-year-old man who died from the Sudan strain of the Ebola virus. Now, this happened in Uganda's capital of Kampala, which is beautiful this time of year, especially when it's got the Ebola virus strain going through the city. Oh, that's great. So more than 40 close contacts, contacts of the victim were placed under observation. official sound of the alarm and the densely populated capital and the regional hub of more than four million.

Yeah. Nobody wants to be Ebola. Just don't want to point this out. No one wants Ebola. Holy cow. You don't want Ebola. I mean, 50% mortality rate. No, 50%?

Well, fatality rate, mortality rate, same thing. The strain of one of the four Ebola viruses that give rise to Ebola virus disease. It's a hemorrhagic fever. Transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids. They cough it on me. With an average of 50%. Symptoms begin of surviving.

Symptoms begin with fever, sore throat, and can culminate in internal bleeding and organ failure. It doesn't sound fun. Are we going to, all right? Did you just cop up a lung for real? I mean, nobody wants Ebola, and we haven't, you know, we've had the, we had to worry here in the U.S. for a while, and they've definitely got to worry again in Uganda's capital of Kampala. And so be careful out there in Uganda.

Don't catch, don't, you don't want the, you don't want none of the Ebola, man. You do not want none of the Ebola. I just, more people are telling me, I see stories all the time about more people getting COVID lately. So heads up on that too. I mean, I don't know what the deal is. I really don't. But it's just that more people, I've talked to more people and seen stories about more people who have caught COVID.

I'm still alive. I mean, it's not Ebola. But I'm just saying that, you know, just be careful. You know, wash your hand. Okay, then we have, well, I can't leave Ebola. Yeah, okay, so I've just went on with COVID and stuff. But I just got to thinking about Ebola. Now, do you remember when we had the Ebola scare here in the U.S.?

And I was, I mean, I think one person, I don't remember how many people had it, but there was like one person in Dallas who traveled to Ohio or something or somebody from who traveled to Dallas. I don't remember the, I don't remember the scare. But, you know, they were concerned about the Ebola outbreak. And, man, I remember a song that we created here at the moment. blaze yeah yeah oh this is this is helpful this i help you not get ebole actually away from eyes that feet don't lick vomit off the street and i know you don't want to die

so slowly back away from that infected guy yeah stay an ebola free I stay an Ebola free Don't eat that raw meat O and see will I be Ebola free Away from both Sweeat Sheet Keep away from this charge that secrete And

If you want to call me your fear Put down that glass of Diare free day and Ebola free don't touch others poop and pee

and we'll be Ebola free just wash your hands and you will see we can be Ebola free Tada right

so I just you're welcome you're welcome because I Those are good tips to that song. I'll tell you that. That's why we created it here at the Blaze. We are here for you. Also, okay, so we have an adult.

Who died today is where we're in the middle of. Adult star Emily Willis, 25, suffered severe braid damage and was left permanently disabled. So she isn't dead, but she's pretty close. Disabled after cardiac arrest during ketamine addiction treatment at Summit Malibu.

Isn't that what his face was going through? Yeah, Matthew Perry. He was going through the ketamine addiction treatment. Her family is now suing, alleging negligence, delayed emergency care, and caused oxygen deprivation. Okay, well, good luck.

I would say that those of you that are part of the ketamine addiction treatment program, maybe, you know, Slowly back away from that infected guy. Maybe you do that. Maybe you do that. Right. Oh, I can't leave without saying rest and peace to Marianne Faithful.

Mary Ann Faithful. I mean, I just, I remember so many terrible songs from her. She just, just terrible, terrible song from Mary Ann Faithful. Now, she was 73 years old, and there was only, I think, over the years, I mean, she had like 40 albums. She was working on like her 41st album or something at 73. But she, speaking to COVID, I was reading a story where Mary Ann Faithful said that she got COVID and it kicked her butt. And she lost some friends to COVID.

But she said that it affected her memory. And she said it's wild how the things that I forget. And she believed that the memory loss was a result of the COVID-19. and she says she lived life, that's enough. She doesn't remember anything about falling ill or being rushed to intensive care. She said I was in a really dark place. Presumably it was death. Well, it wasn't yet, but it is now.

Marianne Faithful, dead at the age of 73. She was addicted to heroin, bulimia, suicide bids, homelessness, breast cancer, hepatitis C, and in 2014, broken hip that became infected after surgery. I mean, holy cow. So, I mean, she was with the stones. They were, then they hated each other for a long time, if I remember the story, right. She ended up now has, you know, she had emphysema, which, you know, she smoked all those years. And she said that she'd wish she never picked a cigarette up in my life.

Okay. I guess, you know, if you're carrying around the oxygen tank and you feel that way, I get it. I get it. But anyway, she finally, she finally died. And I say that, I say that with all due respect. Because I, I like Marion. I don't even stop. I don't even, I can't even think about it.

Because this, hearing her say, she didn't want to pick up a cigarette, makes me not want to smoke much. And then, so she finally, she finally died. And she was a fascinating person, no question. No question of the fascinating person. But I used to have a friend that really liked Marianne Faithful, and I was forced, forced to listen to some of her music. Rest in peace to Mary Ann Faithful, dead at the age of 73. Okay, I think I said she was 73.

And originally I said she was 78. So I just want to get it right. She was 78. Okay, I don't want to diss Marianne Faithful. She doesn't deserve that. She had a hell of a life. and so Mary and Faithful

dead at the age of 78 and all you know I list everything that I listed about her life actually true but I just I got hung up on 73 and I knew it was 78

and I just wanted you to know that well she's still dead whether it was 73 or 78 but really she was 78 so rest and peace to Mary Ann Faithful dead at the age of 78 It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.

They're really old. Still in the carrying case. You open them up. There they are. And I, and I, so often I see them in the pile of stuff that I have,

and I go, oh yeah. Now that one, that one was, I think that one belonged to my grandpa. And I think that one belonged to my dad. But that's where that's where it stops. And I think to myself, in the back of my head, I'm like, oh, man, worth a fortune. Not so much, really.

So the Greater Boston's only typewriter repair shop, who knows how many of them are left? I don't know where you would go to repair your typewriter. Honestly, I don't know, because I'm not using it. But I always think that I could sell them, you know, but you can't sell them if nobody can repair them to work out. Now, I haven't used them. These haven't been used in forever. They've only been moved around the country, you know, from Florida. Michigan, Florida

You know, Pennsylvania New Jersey and Texas That's all, that's all worry about it. Anyway, so the, Boston has a typewriter repair shop, Cambridge typewriter company. Tom Furrier is the owner. He bought the joint in 1990 for 25,000.

I don't know if he's made how much money he's made or whatever, but he said that he got the company for 25 grand back of the night and he said that yeah I'm not doing I got enough I got enough I'm on March 31st

I'm out I'm out we're closing this dump down and we'll make some announcements on Facebook I'll let you know what's going to happen later we'll have some kind of going out of business sale or something I'm done. And we're not accepting any new repairs either. So keep your old junkie typewriters to yourself. Okay, go find someplace else.

Now he said a while ago at an interview, not too long ago, that he was looking, there was a guy that was going to come along and be an apprentice and buy the place. And the apprentice decided, yeah, I'm not buying it. No, I can't do that.

So then, and now he's going to close because he didn't want to train anybody else. He didn't want to spend the time. time training someone to fix a typewriter. Now he's remember him, Tom Hanks, you know, collects typewriters. Whoa. And so Tom was lucky

enough to Tom Grace, Cambridge typewriter company and Tom, if you're, with a signed typewriter. So that's how cool Tom is. And he's like I'm not planning on selling it, but he probably is now. Probably is now.

So the typewriter received the the one that Tom Hanks signed was the Olympia Model SM4 and he said I'm not going to sell it but that's worth about $350 bucks

Now you might be able to get more with the Tom Hanks signature I don't know who knows and there have been plenty of authors and stuff that use the Cambridge typewriters shop to fix their typewriters and stuff

But you can not after March 31st. You're closing this dump down, man. So if you want a typewriter, get up there to the Cambridge typewriter company. And sure he'll give you a pretty good deal because he's had just about enough of typewriters. Before I get to the joke of the day, the contestant for What's the Lie, for some reason backed out today. And I didn't have another one lined up. I know, I know. So we don't have to play What's the Lie.

I know. I know, it's sad. But, and Wesley, I mean, he's played it a couple times and lost. Every time. So, I mean, I can ask you, we don't have to play the whole game show, but I can ask you the four, I give you the four headlines and see if you get them. You willing to take a shot? Yeah, why not?

It's happy hour. All right. So these are the four, what's the lie questions. I'm not going to, we're not going to play the whole game show because, well, quite frankly, I'm a little hurt that my contestant backed out. So if you want to become a contestant of What's the Lie? You can email chewing the fat at the blaze.com. And I'll give you the joke of the day after we do,

after you try this. Just to see these were the headlines that were going to be, what's the lie, all right? Four headlines. One not real. One of them is a lie. Thus, that's where we get the name. What's the lie?

Headline number one. Virgin money. chatbot, scolds customer who typed Virgin. Headline number two. Scotty Sheffler is returning to golf after injuring his hand making ravioli. Headline number

three. Aquarium surprised by virgin birth of a swell shark in an all-female tank. Headline number four, Tennessee Fashion School had to ban excessive use of human hair in work. Those are your

four headlines. And I'm not going to repeat them. What is the lie? Well, I want to go with Virgin Birth in the female Shark Tank because that sounds absolutely insane. Virgin Birth, I mean, we saw from the documentary, Life Will Find a Way. Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park told us, told us that life will find a way.

And yes, life found away in the Shark Tank, the all-female Shark Tank. Yeah, absolutely. They do that. So you want to try again? I'm just going to keep on the Virgin train. So the chatbot actually did scold the customer for typing Virgin. So you want to try again?

I know Scotty Schaeffler won't retire over Ravioli Burns. Oh, because that would be the lamest retirement ever. So I'm going to go with number four. See if you did. There you go. There you go. You've got it right. Congratulations.

you would have gotten it right had you had you chosen that one to begin with but you didn't and so now you're out so this is kind of a big guy joke uh thanks for trying anyway wesley i appreciate it wow um uh joke that day's kind of a big guy joke so i'm gonna go with it because it made me laugh It made me laugh.
