Starting point is 00:00:00 Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Just so we're clear, I had nothing to do with it. In the Mediterranean, there were almost two tons of drugs seized. And I just want to be clear, I had nothing to do with it. So the cocaine was found floating off the eastern coast of the island of, Sicily. They said that they found it because of a routine surveillance flight. Oh, oh, okay. So they were carefully sealed in 70 waterproof floating packages, which were connected and included a signaling
Starting point is 00:00:48 light device. They added that the hall has a street value of about $440 million. That would be about 400 million euros. So that's a pretty big hall. for this group of people in the Mediterranean. In fact, it's the biggest haul they've ever had. We had the three tons floating in the ocean off of New Zealand a couple of months ago. But, I mean, this is the new plan. They figured that it, we think that a ship threw it over and it was waiting to be picked up. Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:01:22 But I didn't have anything to do with it. I want to make sure that we're clear about that. And I want to say that I find it, I mean, good. for them that it was a routine surveillance flight, but I just feel like it wasn't so routine, but I don't know that, and I didn't have anything to do with it. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So prosecutors first, they first charged Michael Rojana in the first.
Starting point is 00:02:00 2018 with theft and concealment of an object of cultural heritage from a museum, as well as interstate transportation of stolen property, which could have landed him in prison for up to 30 years. Okay. So he pled guilty this week to one misdemeanor count of trafficking in archaeological resources. He faces up to one year in prison. There's a sentencing in October. The sentencing for this particular case is, I said it was October.
Starting point is 00:02:41 It's in August, August 17th. So what did Mr. Rohana do? He was at a party, all right, Christmas party, an ugly sweater Christmas party, at the Franklin Museum in Philadelphia. It was Christmas 2017. He snuck away from the party and into the terracotta warriors exhibit, which was closed to partygoers and featured several of the terracotta sculptures of warriors from the tomb of China's first emperor. And those are cool.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I don't know if you ever seen those before, but those are really cool. And the sculptures are dated from 210 to 209 BC. They were on loan from China and are considered prime. priceless, just priceless, and part of the country's cultural heritage. Okay. So, Rahanna used his phone. He used his phone flashlight to make his way around the room. He took a selfie with the sculpture in the exhibit space.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Probably not a smart thing to do. And also, he broke one of the thumbs off of one of the statues. Holy Christ. So he doesn't know what to do. He sticks it in his pocket. And he takes it back home to Delaware, which is where we get the interstate trafficking. Okay. So the guy got, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:14 So, I mean, the Calvary Man, the particular statue that he broke the thumb off of, was insured for 4.5 million. You know, I don't know if they got anything for it or if they stuck the old. thumb on the guy. Probably that's what happened now. And so I don't know. It doesn't say what they did with the thumb. Because when the FBI visited his house a couple of months later in 2018, he said, yeah, I took the stupid thumb.
Starting point is 00:04:47 It's in my desk here. Here you go. Sorry. So he's originally charged with theft and concealment of an object. of cultural heritage from a museum and interstate transportation of stolen property. He said, hey, in April of 2019, trial. In 2019, he's not being sentenced until now. It was a stupid mistake.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And I'm not an art thief. I was just a drunk kid in a bright green, ugly Christmas sweater. The jury was unable to reach a decision resulting in the declaration of a mistrial. The retrial was scheduled for February of 2020. That was delayed due to COVID. And a deterioration in U.S.
Starting point is 00:05:40 China relations. Huh. Now his sentencing is scheduled for the 17th of this year, according to documents. And that's why he worked out a deal with him. Is he going to get any time? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Does he deserve any time? I don't know that either. I mean, should he have taken a selfie with the soldier and broken off the thumb and then took it? I mean, that's a mistake. I know he got scared and he took the thumb home and
Starting point is 00:06:12 he crossed state lines with his theft of the thumb from the terracotta soldier. But, you know, come on. Does he deserve time for being stupid? Maybe. But this has been a long
Starting point is 00:06:28 time now, man. Since 2017 and you're just getting sentenced now? Get out of here. I'm guessing the judge will say, you are a stupid idiot, Michael Rohana. Now get out of my courtroom. You're on probation for two years. Another case that just wrapped up
Starting point is 00:06:48 that may or may not go to the Supreme Court, we'll see. A federal appeals court, the ninth appeals court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, has said now that honking isn't not a First Amendment protected activity. Yes, that's correct. You can't. Your car horn is not a First Amendment protected activity.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Susan Porter, who repeatedly honked her car horn while driving past protesters in California in 2017, a deputy with the San Diego County Sheriff's Office issued Porter a ticket, saying she had violated a state law against B. misuse of car horns. She was not having any of it. She pushed back filing a federal lawsuit in 2018. In that lawsuit, she alleged that honking her horn in solidarity with protesters was protected First Amendment activity and that the California law used to ticket her, which prohibits using a car horn except when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation or when used as a theft alarm system was unconstitutional. The U.S. District Court ruled against her, and they upheld the lower
Starting point is 00:08:03 court's ruling. So the horn is to serve its intended person of purpose as a warning device. It must not be used indiscriminately. One of the judges, Marsha Berzon, thinks her colleagues got it wrong. In her dissent, Berzon noted that California cops are taught. to use discretion when enforcing the horn honking law, which could lead to selective and discriminatory enforcement. And she scoffed at the idea that Porter honking while driving past a protest would be confused for anything but political speech. Thank you. I actually, I agree with the circuit judge Marsha Berzon. A political protest, the judge went on. A political protest is designed to be noticed. Political honking was hardly a significant source of noise or distraction
Starting point is 00:08:58 in that environment. There's no basis for supposing that anyone was confused or distracted by the honking. Instead, Porter's honking was understood as political expression by the protesters who cheered in response. I agree with that. I mean, do I agree with the protest? No, probably not. And, you know, she's driving by honking with the protesters and for the cop to give her a ticket come on that's just i mean we've talked about the particular police officers uh doing things like that uh in that uh so we'll see if they're used as some of the uh some of the writings on this case uh if the car horns can startle and distract drivers if they're used indiscriminately they can dilute the potency if the horn has a warning device
Starting point is 00:09:50 Okay. Yeah, they can. And they do. I mean, do we, if your car is honking as an alarm system going off, do we even look anymore in a parking lot? I guess we kind of do. We kind of look, right? A car alarm is going off in a parking lot. And we go, hey, a car alarm is going off. And then we move. We continue to go into the store. Nobody goes over to the car to see if everybody's okay. Nobody goes to see if it's being stoned. or somebody getting into it. If you looked at a car in a parking lot, that alarm was going off, and you saw someone getting in the car with the alarm going off, and then the alarm shut off, and the car backs out or drives away,
Starting point is 00:10:32 would you think to yourself, hey, somebody needs to see if that's the real owner of that car? No, you would continue on in the store. Anyway, just know that it is California law, that, and now, It's been deemed unconstitutional to honk your car horn for anything else. But when it's reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation or when used as a theft alarm system.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Okay? If you use it for anything else but that, you are breaking the law. I know, I know. It's not me. It's the Federal Appeals Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Not me. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Desperately. So it's the end of an era, an end of an era, if you knew that the era still existed. Netflix announced that it's going to stop mailing DVD rentals. I know. Now, the business that started it all 25 years ago. So some Netflix DVD rental facts that you probably didn't know. An estimated 1.1 million to 1.3 million people subscribed to the DVD service last year. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Generated $145.7 a million dollars in revenue for Netflix. That's not a bad gig with somebody to take that over, but that'd be tough. to get started. The first DVD Netflix ever sent was Beetlejuice in 1998, and the most frequently requested DVD was the blind side. Wow, that's kind of weird. So they claim, you know, Netflix is,
Starting point is 00:12:36 they are starting to struggle a little bit. I don't know what the deal is over there, but they're starting to, every time I think they're going great, it looks like they're starting to struggle. I mean, they said that they lost subscribers, for the first time in 10 years, which, I mean, there was a whole bunch of, they should not have said that.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I know they had to, but they should not have said that. And so they believe that they now added subscribers because they launched their $699 ad tier to attract more users. So they added like, I don't know, 1.75 million net subscribers, but they had expectations. of over 2 million subscribers. And so it fell short.
Starting point is 00:13:25 It fell short of expectations. And it also said that it's not going to roll out its highly anticipated program. Uh-huh. Yeah, it's highly anticipated, all right. The program to limit password sharing in the U.S. until quarter two. Yeah, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:13:43 We'll see about that. Because they really have been pushing the paid account sharing in Canada, New Zealand, Spain, and Portugal. And they said when they started promoting that, they lost a lot of subscribers. You think? Now, they believe that people will ultimately activate their own accounts
Starting point is 00:14:04 or add new members as time passes. We'll see. That's a frustrating thing to me, for sure. And it's a frustrating thing for, like, let's say Hulu Live. I was very frustrated with Hulu Live. Nowhere in their when you sign up for it, it doesn't say it until after you sign up for it,
Starting point is 00:14:27 that you can only use Hulu Live at your one IP address. They give you another IP address that you can go back and forth, but you can only change it a couple of times and then it won't let you change again. So it's really
Starting point is 00:14:45 very frustrating. And YouTube does the same thing, although I don't know how many times you can change it on the YouTube live. So you can't share any of the Hulu or the YouTube lives. But Netflix is, you know, I mean, number one by far and away. Now, they claim that they have 100 million people or more watching on an account they don't pay for. Hmm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Would those people pay for it on their own? I don't know. That's a questionable number to me. But, you know, we'll see they're going to go after it. But I will say that they've, we talked a lot about Netflix going after the live audience. Aha! They had their big Love is Blind live show this past weekend. And they screwed it up.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Wow. Netflix, what are you doing, man? If you need help, call me or email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Reach out to me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Reach out to me on Instagram or Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. However, get a hold of me. We'll make this thing work. So their love is blind reunion that was supposed to be live on Sunday night.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Well, it happened. I think it was more than an hour late. They originally said that they were going to be late and do they put up on their Twitter account, hey, love is late. Hashtag love is blind live will be on in 15 minutes. Ooh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And then it'll be worth to wait. And then it began more than an hour after it was scheduled. That's not good. That's not good. They actually issued an apology to everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon. We're incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind live reunion did not turn out as we plan. We're filming it now and we'll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah. Well, first of all, it's love as a blind. So I don't know how big audience that is. It's a huge show, I know. I've actually seen a couple of. episodes agonizingly, but I know what it is. Would I watch it live? No. On a Sunday night? No. Succession is on. Okay? Not doing that. If it's during football season, definitely not watching it on a Sunday night. But this time of year, we've got Succession on. So I'm not watching
Starting point is 00:17:34 anything live on Netflix. But if they're screwing up their live shows and they want to have a big deal, I mean, that's their big push to start streaming whatever they want to stream live and they can't do a love as blind reunion live. Holy cow. Something's going to have to, somebody's going to have to shake up the box a little bit. You can quote me on that. So speaking of shaking things up, I see where a movie pass. They come back.
Starting point is 00:18:03 We'll see. They're claiming they're back. Okay. They have members that you're going to buy credits to watch movies based on the time of day of viewing. Weekend night screening. It's going to cost more credits than a Wednesday morning movie. So they give you the subscription plan. The basic subscription plan is $10 a month, one to three movies or 34 credits a month.
Starting point is 00:18:30 The standard is $20 a month, three to seven movies or 72 credits a month. The premium is $30 a month. five to 11 movies or 113 credits a month. And the pro part of movie pass plan is $40 a month, one movie a day or 640 credits a month. Okay, all right. And then they have a Southern California, New York metro area plan, which is, you know, $20 a month for the basic,
Starting point is 00:19:04 which is actually, you know, everything is just a little tad bit more expensive. 20 bucks a month for basic, 30 for standard, 40 for premium, 60 for pro. Then you have the different times of day. Opening time at 359 p.m. 10 credits, 18 in New York and California, Southern California, by the way. Evening screening from 4 p.m. to closing time, Monday through Thursday, 15 credits, 20 in New York and California. the evening screening Friday to Sunday. It's so convoluted.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I mean, I thought the deal was, I get to pay so much a month, and I get to see so many movies in that time frame. Why is it so difficult? Why do we have all these tears? And I don't understand. I mean, I kind of get their idea, but look, movie theaters are struggling as it is.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I know Nicole Goodman told me, I got to go laugh and cry at the theater, but I don't have to. I'd rather watch it at my home. To be honest. I know there's nothing better than the magic of the big screen. I get it. I like the big screen.
Starting point is 00:20:12 But I also, I'll give up the big screen for, you know, my kind of big screen at my home that I can watch whenever I want. Because this whole convoluted thing about movie passes. So Regal has a movie pass plan that has for, let's see, a number of theaters. So they have for 200 theaters at $18 a month or a prepaid yearly fee of $227.88. You get 10% off of non-alcoholic food and drinks. A free large popcorn and a soft drink on your birthday. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Early access to new movies under the Regal Unlimited Screenings Program. So that's another program inside of a program. Opportunities to bring a guest to select showings without additional change. charges. Whoa. Now the Regal Unlimited Plus, didn't they just file bankruptcy? Maybe this is why. Everything's too convoluted. Regal Unlimited plus over 400 theaters, $2199 a month, or prepaid yearly fee of $263.88. Same benefits as above.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Regal Unlimited. So it's just more theaters, more opportunity to see movies which you get the same benefits. and the Regal Unlimited all access paths for all 475 theaters is 2399 a month. Really, really weird. Then you have the AMC Stubbs Tears. Okay, so the AMC Stubbs Insider, any state, the price is free. Oh, wow, this doesn't cost anything. Okay, what do I get for?
Starting point is 00:21:56 I need to, why am I not an AMC Stubbs Insider? I get a free refill. every purchased large popcorn. Discounts on Tuesday showtimes. Whoa. Free cameo popcorn with either a 21 ounce icy or a cameo fountain drink on Tuesdays with an additional $5 plus tax.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And I get insider members earn 20 points for every $1 spent and may spend their $5 rewards on eats and drinks. Wow, that's free. Man, do I want to become an AMC Stubbs insider for that? Now, if you want to pay, you can become an AMC Stubbs premier member at $15 a year plus tax.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You receive previous insider benefits. Okay, you get the first, you get the ones up top, and you get 12 months of waived online fees. Whoa! You get free size upgrades for popcorn and fountain drinks. Now you're talking. and you earn points on purchases towards $5 rewards by scanning virtual card at concessions booth.
Starting point is 00:23:07 So for $15, you get online fees waived. Wow. And free upgrades. Okay. All right. So am I getting any movies out of this at all? AMC Stubbs A list, 35 states, excluding California, Colorado, Connecticut, D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Starting point is 00:23:28 Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington for 1995 a month, plus tax. I receive benefits from insider and premier tears. Oh, you get the benefits up top that we talked about. Plus, you get to watch up to three movies every week under any format offered by the theater, including IMAX and Dolby Cinnamon. Now we're getting into it. All right, 20 bucks a month.
Starting point is 00:23:53 I get three movies a month. All right, that's not bad. That's actually not bad. 20 bucks a month. I get three movies a month. Watch up to three movies every week. Three movies every week. That's, and it's 1995 a month.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So, I mean, you're looking at 12 movies a month, maybe more depending on, you know, all those five week months. And then you have an option to watch three movies in one day or spread them out throughout the week. No blackout dates. That's not bad. That's actually,
Starting point is 00:24:27 that might be worth it because that's what I'm talking about. I want to pay and then I just want to go I can go see the movies, right? So for $20 a month, I get three a week. And I don't know if there's three movies a week I want to see, but that still seems like a legit.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Okay, so the Stubbs A-list $22.95 a month is the same benefits as above. So why am I paying the $1995 a month? I don't know. does it. Different states. Got it.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Forty-five states, excluding California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, and New York. And then if you want to get those states involved, it's 2495 a month. Got it.
Starting point is 00:25:13 For any state that wasn't, that I didn't say, you can get the cheaper ones. But if I said you, you're the more expensive ones. Sorry about it. That's almost not bad. Because for 19 bucks a month,
Starting point is 00:25:27 I get watch up to three movies every week under any format offered by the theater, including IMAX and Dolby. That's pretty good. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say, that's not bad. I might be willing to do that. But it seems agonizing when it's so convoluted. Just tell me, pay this much, and I get to watch these many movies every month. Okay?
Starting point is 00:25:51 My choice. When I want to go, when I want to see them, what movies I want to see. Okay. and I have to, and maybe you put the stipulation you have to schedule it so they know that you're coming, right? You don't just get to
Starting point is 00:26:07 walk up, no just walking up and going to the movies. You have to at least schedule it online or call and be put in the system. But that's, I mean it isn't that hard. It's just not that hard. That's what
Starting point is 00:26:23 she said. So who died today? Who died today? Colombian-born beauty found dead in her Miami Beach hotel room. She was 24 years of age. Camilla Sterling has passed away. Now, she was found in a bathtub of this luxury hotel in Miami Beach. And it was, the room was under the name. of music executive David Bolno.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Now, I want to be sure there was an unidentified substance found in the room, but Miami Beach police say, Bolno is not a person of interest, okay? Yeah. So I don't know what happened to her. I don't know what they did, but he is not a person of interest. He's a family man trying to help this girl become a star, okay? And there's no way that he would be in this room doing. anything other than trying to help her become a better singer, a better person, and a better star.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And he's going back home to his wife and his children in Los Angeles. And, you know, if you need something else from me, call me. Okay, let me know. So just know that Camilla Sterling was born in Columbia. And she came to America at the age of 14 and she just wanted to be a singer. star and Mr. Bolno was helping her become that. And that's why he had this luxury hotel room set up. And he was there earlier.
Starting point is 00:28:18 The same day or the same night that they found her. He actually left and then they didn't find her until the next day. He left like at, I don't know, three or four o'clock in the morning because they were up working. Whoa. Working so long, so many long hours. And then they didn't find her until later on the next day. But he had nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:28:41 So Camilla Sterling, dead at the age of 24. So it's been 30 years since the trial of Lyle and Eric Menendez. I mean, we watched that stupid case on TV forever, and they watch the brothers plead their case against the murder of their parents. Jose and Kitty Manendez. The Menendez brothers sentenced to life in prison throughout the trial, The defense argued Lyle and Eric murdered their parents out of fear after years of sexual molestation by their music executive father, Jose. Now, decades later, another allegation has been brought forth this time by Roar Rosello, a former member of the Puerto Rican boy band, Manudo.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Who doesn't, I mean, Menudo, you know him, you love him. He says he was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Jose. Manendez. Wow. So these allegations are out in part of an upcoming three-part peacock docu-series. Manendez Manudo boys betrayed. Actually, it's Manendez plus Minuto boys betrayed. And I know that today's show had a segment with him and he alleges that when he was 14, Jose drugged and raped him during a trip to the Menendez family's New Jersey home. Oh, wow. He points to a photo of Jose during the clip and says,
Starting point is 00:30:18 that's the man that raped me. That's the pedophile. Wow. So we'll see. Jose Menendez was head of RCA records during the time of the alleged assault. We'll see what more comes out of the document. series, but it is a docus series on Peacock. I'm sorry, it's a three-part peacock docu series.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Menendez plus Minuto. Boys betrayed. How's Southwest doing today? Everybody flying okay? I don't know. I'm just wondering. I'm just asking a question. I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I know the other morning they had to shut down everything. The FAA initiated a ground stop. At the airline's request, of course, citing equipment issues. The ground stop was soon lifted. I mean, they only did it for a few hours. It was, they had some, I don't know, some unexpected operational data connection issues. They only delayed a couple thousand flights. I'm sorry, 1,820 flights.
Starting point is 00:31:29 You know, they scheduled, got them rescheduled, everything's back on time. They only canceled nine flights. Okay, so shut up. They worked quickly to minimize the disruptions. That's what they were supposed to do. I'm not making fun. It was just agonizing. I'm glad I wasn't flying, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Don't forget they had the big problem over the holidays over Christmas because they had to cancel more than six. I didn't realize it was this much. I guess maybe we talked about it, but it really jumps out at you. They had to cancel more than 16,700 flights between December 20th and December 20th. December 29th. Now, a lot of that had to do with the weather, but they attributed the meltdown in part to changes of its staff scheduling computer systems. So they unveiled a whole new action plan now to prevent another operational meltdown. So this latest problem, though, was intermittent technology issues.
Starting point is 00:32:23 So back off Southwest, okay? They got it fixed as fast as they could. They apologized. They said sorry. All right. We're hoping to get everybody. going again ASAP. That's what we're here for, but we couldn't help the intermittent technology issues. Man, I'm not a fan of those either. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto
Starting point is 00:33:01 is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep. Hey, I won!
Starting point is 00:33:16 Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating. 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you, call 1-86653310 or visit Comexonterio.ca. I don't know what time is supposed to happen. It may have already happened, but I just know that NASA said sometime today, somewhere, there's going to be a 600-pound satellite hurling toward Earth. Now, a lot of it's going to burn up. It's 660 pounds in space.
Starting point is 00:33:50 A lot of it will burn up coming back into the atmosphere. So I don't know how big a piece is going to land on the Earth. I don't know where it's going to end. It could be you. It could be you that it lands on. I hope it's not, but I don't know. Apparently, according to NASA, approximately one, You have a chance.
Starting point is 00:34:10 One in 2,467. They call that low. I call that pretty high. Yeah. One in 2467. I mean, that's my neighborhood. Okay? I don't like those odds.
Starting point is 00:34:26 With stuff falling from the sky. So just if you're out wandering around today, heads up, okay, that the satellite Resi is going to be coming toward Earth. It was decommissioned back in 2018. So it's just been flying dead for the last few years. And I don't know what made it fall, but it decided that it had an alpha flying around dead. And it's coming back home.
Starting point is 00:34:54 It was a busy little beaver, though, when it was working. I mean, it caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections and aided in the physics of the sun and helped in the sun's shape. it's on shape. Thank you for letting us know it's round. The terrestrial gamma ray flashes. It helped with the bursts that occur over lightning storms on Earth. I mean, it's been a great satellite, actually.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And it's recorded over 100,000 X-ray events, according to the agency. So it's been a satellite that's been worth it, right? But I didn't want it to hit somebody in the head. Now, NASA says there's 27,000, 27,000 pieces of space. junk floating in the air we've talked about space junk quite a bit I mean we have to do something about that that definitely has to be addressed now that's not including the potentially disruptive and disruptive debris disruptive and destructive debris that remains too small to be tracked that doesn't even count any of that stuff
Starting point is 00:35:59 wow so they claim that the orbital the longer it will take to tumble back to earth, it takes several years for debris to return to altitudes of 373 miles or less, but centuries for orbital decay to occur at 497 miles. So at 621 miles, orbital debris will normally continuing circling the Earth for 1,000 years or more. Oh, that's special. That's special.
Starting point is 00:36:39 So, I mean, we got that to look. We don't worry. Don't worry about it. It's up there 600 miles. So quit your whining. But today, if you're listening live, today is the 19th of April, 2023.
Starting point is 00:36:54 This is the day. So I don't know when you're listening to this. Hopefully you, you know, somebody in your family or friend didn't get hit by the satellite. I'm like, good luck. Keep your head up depending on when you're listening to this particular chewing the fat show. Oh, yeah, it's the 19th bicycle day.

He is the world's oldest silverback gorilla. He is living at the Fort Worth Zoo. I know, pretty incredible. He's lived at the zoo for more than 30 years.
Starting point is 00:37:47 He now lives in a behind-the-scenes habitat with his partner Amani. The modified spaces were created because of the couple's age. Yeah, they just don't want them to see people anymore. They hide them from everybody. Nobody wants to see Grandpa and Grandma. The zoo believes Romsus Romsis Ramsus, Ramsus, Rampsus, anyway, has surpassed the average gorilla lifespan because of the exemplary care he receives from the primate staff.
Starting point is 00:38:21 So happy birthday to Ramsey's RAMSES or RMSES, RMSES. That's the same spelling, by the way. Ramseys. That's what I said. Ramseys. Thank you. So anyway, happy birthday to Ramsey's. And he's 52 at the Fort Woods Zoo.
Starting point is 00:38:44 You could probably show up and ask to see Ramsey's. Hey, where's Grandpa and Grandpa? Can we see the old guerrillas? Probably not. I probably not going to let you take you back there. Kind of sad. So happy birthday. I hope you live a whole bunch more years, Ramsas.
