Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. You know, you know me. I like to start out with good news because I'm just a,

I'm a happy-go-lucky fella. It just likes to sing and dance along the sidewalk and just kick the mud puddle water in the air. So let's start off with some good news and then we'll move on to the maddening stories of the day. Wendy's has announced that it's going to be serving breakfast nationwide starting next year. Wait, wait, wait.

You're going to be able to stop at Wendy's breakfast restaurants all over America. It's incredible growth opportunities, said the CEO. We're well positioned to pursue it. Now you've turned me. Why? Why? Why would you do that? I was all excited.

And then it shot down. All ready for a double beef wop or waffles. Wait, that's burger cake. Wait, a double square Wendy's waffle burger. I was all ready for a sponsorship for Wendy's breakfast. I shot it to hell with one comment. Welcome to chewing the fat. Okay, so what got me wrong is I'm upset about this story.

that I read last night, it's agonizing. Okay? If this story is true, it is absolutely agonizing. So, Katrina Bookman, New York, New York woman, goes to the resorts world casino,

play in the slots. All of a sudden, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It's rolling and dingin, and then the lights are going off and everything's going crazy. She takes a selfie of herself. Click.

I'll give you that. When you sat down to play the Sphinx slot machine, you didn't think that you had an opportunity to win $42 million.

I'll give you it. However, with it all ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and everything's going off. and you expect me to be okay with a steak dinner and my 225? No?

Get out of here. Thank you. Sorry. Sorry about the glitch. Here's a million. Have another. No. And now she is busy saying, no, I'm not accepting either as a consolation.

Somebody owes me some cash. Yes. And I don't believe there's a jury in the world, let alone the United States of America, that lets this lady walk away with anything less than a million. So I would like to recreate this issue as if I was, to warn. Okay, so I'm playing the slots. I'm playing the slots and I hit the job. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Mr. Casino, I would like to cash out. Yeah, I know, look, I know you took a selfie of yourself in front of the machine and stuff and everything was going crazy.

The music went off and the confetti came out and the big broad came out. Man, I wish we could help you, but there was a glitch in the machine. Then you're in jail for me. So I won, right? I won the $42 million. There was a glitch in the machine. I cannot hear you over me shooting you, but I won the computer said. You know, listen, I tell you what, listen, we realize it was a big glitch, so we'll give you a steak dinner.

Listen, I know it was a big glitch and you don't, you know, it doesn't sound like you want the steak dinner. No, no, do not. Listen, what we'll do is we'll give you the steak dinner and the $2.45. I'm not understanding this. I won $42 million. You know, I could round it down to a straight $42 million. Forget about the rest of it. There is not a chance.

Absolutely not. Come on. No, this casino will be named. after her and then she's the new Mrs. Casino. Katrina Bookman. Yes. They handled this completely wrong. And I'm sorry. No.

There's no such thing as a glitch that is in favor of the house. Usually when you're playing casino. Katrina, you owe us $42 million. Exactly. No, baby. I'll tell you what, Katrina. We know it was a glitch. We'll let you off by you just giving us a steak dinner

and another $2.25. Thank you. Because I believe five years ago, I went to Vegas and lost $10,000. Oh. And I, oh, yeah. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Oh, baby.

Mm-hmm. I think it was a glitch. Yes. On the hand of the blackjack dealer. Yeah, there was a glitch on the job of the dealer. I lost $10,000 in one table. Dude, what are you doing? I was high rolling, bro.

They got me. What are you doing? Now, you never, you know, look, when I go to Vegas, I like to go there, you know, I never take more than I could lose. You never take more than you can lose So you know, you know me I do know you. Mr. Vegas.

Mr. Vegas, yes. You and Pat, it's like Mr. Twitter and Mr. Vegas. Thank you. Yes. Man,

you go to Vegas and it's, I mean, it's party and gamble to the city. Just me. And actually, I like Vegas. I do too.

But I mean, I mean, you're Mr. Big bucks losing 10 grand. It wasn't my 10 grand. It was the military 10 grand. Oh, so whatever.

Still, though. So thank you, taxpayer money. It's a glitch, though. It was a glitch, yes. It was a glitch. Big time glitch. Yes. There's no way.

I'm sorry. Not a chance does this Resorts World Casino get off without giving her some money. That sounds familiar. Is that the local one here? Resort's World Casino. That sounds really smart. I'm guessing this was in New York. She was in New York, right?

I mean, actually, I don't know that. She's from New York. But she was gambling at the Resorts World Casino. It doesn't say which one. Which is why I. Preface this entire story by if it's real. Because there's, come on now. I'm no.

Yeah, it's in New York. Yeah. It's R.W. New York. I'm guessing Katrina didn't. That's what I'm saying. Katrina isn't traveling the globe gambling at casinos, right? I mean, she lives in New York. She's, you know, a working, working mom, a working person who, you know, just goes and plays

the slots, trying to make a few bucks, happy that she makes 50, you know, 100, bucks on a Friday night and she calls it happy, which is why I said, you know, obviously she didn't expect. Yeah. She didn't, it wasn't, it's obvious that she's not expecting to win millions from this machine. However, when the machine says it and the lights and everything goes off and right, the announcer comes out, starts a Katrina bookbook, congratulations. And everything is going off.

And come on down. You look what the machine says. You've won all this. And when the announcer comes out, it's a done deal. It is. I don't care. The resort's world casino can bite me. And the announcer rolled out.

The balloons went off. The lights were blinking. And the announcer said, Katrina Buckman, congratulations. Come over here. Look at that. How do you feel about winning $42,949,6. $672.76. Hold the block.

Oh, that was a glitch. No. You know, and that's why I say, look, I would be willing, seriously, I would say, if they came to me and said, hey, that's a glitch. You know, you're not, you didn't win 42 million. And I would say, okay, cool. No, I got it. No problem. But I got a, I got a picture here with me and the machine said.

And, yeah, you know, here, how about, I'll take a briefcase with a million bucks in it. And we'll call it. keep my shot. We'll call it even. See you later. Have a nice day. Oh, I want this lady to own.

I do too. I want to own that casino and I want her, because I was looking on the website, it's a $400 million resort. I want her to own half of that. Yes. Right now. That was a huge mistake.

That is a big mistake. You know, it's a glitch. You know what? There's a steak dinner. We just played the advocate of like if it was a glitch on her end, they were like, oh,

she'd be arrested. She'd be in the casino jail. Yes. Not only that, she'll be swimming with the fishes. You got this Don guy saying, Booker, whatever girl. Honey, where's my money? I don't think they might not,

I mean, they might have something to do with a little bit of the casinos, but most of those casinos in... Oh, is, hey, how are you? Hey, how are you? You owe me money. That's not quite how I was going to put it. Oh, no?

No. And it's a bit of Warren? Oh, no, she's from Massachusetts. No, no. Yeah, no, she's not part of the New York, New Jersey Indian Mafia. There is an Indian Mafia, man. Oh, really? So don't even...

Have you met it? Yes. Really? Yes. In Tampa? Was there one in Tampa? I can't say anymore. So, look who we have in the break room.

An etiquette expert, broadcaster, worked as a butler for the Prince of Wales, worked for dukes, worked for lowly estateholders, became, first he was like a butler intern, killed the main butler off and took his job. Grant Harold, the etiquette expert to the world, joining us on chewing the fat in the break group. How are you, sir? Hello, sir. I love that introduction. That's one of the best introductions I've ever had. Fantastic. So now, as you, you know, I mean, you're running an etiquette and household consultancy company.

You're running the Royal School of Butlers. You know, I mean, you are, you know, living a life of almost servitude, but you're still living high off the hog. What's the number one misconception of, you know, what a butler is? You know, it's funny because I think that when you think of all the Doughton Arby and all those kind of series about the upstairs downstairs. People assume that the butt layer goes around in the tailcourt,

kind of dark quiet figure that rolls these and that was true over a hundred years ago but today the role is so different. It's so different and the way we dread and what we do is

completely changed. I probably shouldn't say that because it's people's illusion but it really has changed. It's a good illusion to have. It is why I went into profession. I was fascinated by, I'll tell you, what got me into it was a movie called Remains of the Day

back in the 19th, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson and Anthony played the Baptist Stephen. And I absolutely love this role. I thought this is an amazing thing to were such a beautiful home

you get to get that lifestyle it was amazing you know unless you win up to me or you you know you're the son of an arrow a quintess or something you don't have to experience that and I thought well maybe

as a butler that that was an amazing world and what's extraordinary is it really hard but he did open up an extraordinary world that as you said I'm still very much part of yeah so as a

as a butler to the royals, forget the people that are just estate holders. You know, the lowly people are just owning a state. I'm surprised you even admit that you worked for those people. But you worked for the, you're behind the scenes at the Royals, and now you spent, I mean, six or seven years working for Prince Charles. You know, were you the guy that just making sure that the shoelaces were ironed and everything was fine?

I hate to break the illusion But no, that wouldn't even Even if it wouldn't even Within my job we meant to do stuff like that No The role of a butler Again, with the role of funnots The same as a blackler

As I said to you, it's not like The movie Butler It's you've got to be able to do everything Okay, hopefully not Iron, surely Because you've got to do everything From, dare I see, a bit of cooking Seven tables, of course,

looking after guests, but then you've got the IT site. Because today we've got computers and mobile phones and tablets, as do a lot of the employers, and they want you be able to use these devices. Our household is a very modern, obviously it's one of the oldest households, but it's a very modern household, and everything's done by emails and by their computers.

So you can understand all of that kind of thing as well. And can I also say, I'm a good nanny on occasions, not for the royal children, but when I've looked for the bed, to help out with the nanny and duty. So this is what I'm saying, the role of the has completely transformed. Right. So at your, what do I have to do to do to be a butler?

I mean, do I have to just show up at your school and say, I want to be a butler? Or do I have to, you know, do I have to actually? You should, you need to come along and have a couple of days with me and I can teach you. I would love that. Do you know, this really is, and I'm very open and honest with my students. I'm not one of these butler trainers that say he used to go to my school to be the best butler. It doesn't work like that. The reason I started school was I heard about other butler schools or academies.

And I heard the way that people have been trained was not exactly the correct way. Put it that way. And the problem was, I worked with one of my brothers. This is how it all happened. I worked with one of these butlers. And he said to me that he had an awful lot of money on a six-week call. and they told him he was a butler. Now, he realized the reality was he wasn't.

Right. When we were walking together in the Royal Household, he was having to relearn. And actually, that was him learning. And, you know, it's wrong that people can't really run courses and say that. So what I say to my students is, when he put out there, there's two ways you do this. You either write, like I did, right,

to all grand homes in the country. You can start off at Buckingham Palace and work your way down to pass a lot in Scotland. or and a potential an underbuck job and they're not easy to come by but you might get an underbutler job and start training as a butler

and doing an apprenticeship for a couple years which is that what I think well I mean that's what you did right I mean you started as an intern and then you off the head guy and you took over right I love that yes that doesn't sound too good that

doesn't it right that used to happen you know you'd be trained and then the old butler They would either drop the dead or would get wheeled out the room and you would then take over. But I can honestly say that in my situation. But as I said, see, the other thing I think is, or you can join my school, I don't guarantee the end of it. But I do give, I'd like to, I give the most valuable experience. You get to, for example, you get to do over at Blenheim Palace, which is near, it's a non-royal.

It's one of the only non-royal palaces in England. It's beautiful. We get behind the scenes. We get them doing everything that I've done in my time with the Royal Household. The only thing is you're doing it in the course of a week, maybe two weeks. And then we then help them through recommendations to get into another home where they carry on that train. And I do get some amazing job opportunities that come up for the students. So I don't get here, but it is there.

It can happen. So what are you charging people to show up at your school? and what do you rank it in here, Grant? I like to think I'm one of the cheapest because when I discovered how much people do charge I don't want someone to do a course and the other thing is if you go to one of you with school and you spend, you can spend up to 16 grants.

You know, there's no plenty, as I said, that you're going to get a job at the end of it. My school, we charge 2,000 terms of students and that's over about five. days, I don't know what it is you break it down, but it is, I think it's safety, it is one of the cheapest planning. I do try to do it even cheaper. I mean, there has been a occasion I've ran co-even less because I'm, look, of course there's a business and I have to make money from it. I'm really passionate about training people up the correct ways.

Luckily, we do get the courses filled quite quickly. I bet. The wonderful bit is the students that do the courses never, ever, I've been doing it in the six years. I've never ever had a negative piece of feedback. If anything, it's not positive. And some of the stories, I mean, one of my but I was an example of all

for a lot of people pick that for one of the concerts. You know, so you get some great stories on the back of it, and that, that's for me is what it's playing. You know, that's what it's all. All right, so, a couple things. A couple things. You've, you know,

you're, you've been as an instructor for movies and films and television shows and you know you told us just a few moments ago that you know really real life doesn't really represent what happens in the films so i mean are you are you pushed aside and said no that's not really what we don't want real life we want what people imagine a butler is yeah right yeah you do because when i get like a media work called television work or if i'm actually in front of the camera a couple of situations and being from the states i don't know if you've heard

There's a couple of chaps who have become good friends called the Dolan Twetton, and I ran a class for them for the MPD musical ones. And I remember them saying to me, we want you to be like a typical butler. So etiquette can have instructed by traditional butler. So I did make a traditional approach. And that's what people want. You know, people, when it comes to me,

they don't want the modern, they want the old-fashioned traditional practice. So that's what I do. That's what I give people. But so much for my social media, because I do a lot on social media under the name the Royal. On my background, and I do work with the Royal to the same day.

And so it's a bit of a character. And if you guys, you know, I've seen my, again, under the robot there. People ask me etiquette of questions, and I do it all in character, and I give them advice from 56, which causes huge debates. in fact, there's a massive debate just now.

I told my fall on that they should use a knife and fork when they eat a hammer. And this is caused outrage, you know, amongst the masses. And not going to say, how in the earth you use a knife and fork. So I'm now going to have to do a huge tube of them, obviously, to demonstrate that. I enjoy it. You know, I get a lot of fun from it.

You seem to enjoy it. And this extraordinary kind of falling, they're all about growing literally by the week. So as far as etiquette is concerned, how do you see how do you see etiquette overall in, you know, in globally, but for sure in the U.S. and, you know, the United Kingdom, we see the Royals starting to fade a little bit from old school etiquette. Yeah, yeah. Yes, we do. I've even seen Prince Charles high five. He was drunk, though.

So don't worry about it. No, no, he was, he was with some children, and he went on and high-fived him, he eventually high-fived them back, but it really writes etiquette, because I would say people don't hug the royals. Right. You can have a royal. If they hug, you, you can hug them, if they high-five you, you can high-five them back. I think etiquette's changed all the time very much more now than ever. And, you know, when the original weeks were kind of drawn up and written what two-thrund of the year,

or even if you want to go away. I still have all, those rules will write, those roles that are right for now. A lot of them are quite silly rules. They're important, but the other part of this is I do make a couple of new rule up myself. And I, you know, I made this rule up last year at Wi-Fi. And one thing that annoys everybody I know is that people

who have Wi-Fi paths, especially the younger generation, as they walk in to come home. Yeah. So I made a row and said, if you go to cell phone, don't ask for the Wi-Fi pass for two hours after you arrive. And that's only if you're there for the evening or overnight. And this role went up to the time. I mean, never getting a phone call from the BBC news. I think of your role.

So at the same time, I'm kind of think of it practically. It's important. But the other thing I'll quickly ask as when you said about America and S. The one thing it does and I do stand up for America because I've got a lot of Americans people in this country will say oh we can't stand how American swap

one for and damn and all this kind of thing but that's America's ethic that's what they do you know that's what you do that's your way of doing it and I don't think it's fair and you can just say all that's right or wrong and do stand up for other countries

comes to the kind of etiquette of those countries and protocols because that's I haven't been to a country unique, and it's really important. So when we have, what's the inside track, all right? So I know you're the official, un-official, you know, ambassador for the royal family. So I know we've brought, we've brought, we've got Megan and Harry now. And they seem to have started a little squabble between, you know, William and Kate and the queen.

Do you get the impression that maybe the queen, shouldn't have said yes to the Megan and Harry wedding? No, no, not at all. I think that person, I think it's really important because I've always said, for wanting for the family and know what they're like, I've always said that they're all, you know, they're very modern with the way to do things.

And, you know, I mean, 20 years ago, people used to say, you know, they can't marry the, there were so many roles, wasn't they? You know, Megan Tett, from a black American lady, marrying the Roth family. And that's really because I think it's important, again,

for the law firm, to shoot there. Not leaders in this way, because it's not being leader, but it's just shown that this is how they're off and don't discriminate or treat anyone differently or less favorably because of age, gender, it's really

important. We know that's not true. I mean, we know that's not true. They're the royals. Nobody believes that. really are but I know you're saying

as very old-fashioned and traditional and of course they're old-fashioned because what they've been around for quite a few

but no they are they are they modern but the queen you know people get us so again people can have

she are as very serious and and yes she has to be as the queen she's also got one of the

best humor I mean I really love it whenever I had to look after her because she

I'm just saying that kind of kind of walking away smiling or giggling. Just, again, you see people, I've been with people that have been with their family, and as soon as the Queen walks into a room, they,

they like, you know, so there's something quite special about the Queen. And as all, I hope, should be around for many, many more years. So what do you think,

how do you think the, the outlook on the Royals have changed? I mean, I feel like, you know, I feel like now they're starting to come back to maybe a little, a little bit better than, I mean, like maybe, you know, Princess Diana and Charles, those days were monstrous. And then when they split up and the fighting and then, of course, her untimely death was horrific. And I feel like those days then after that were, you know, put the royals kind of in a tumble fall with the world. I kind of feel like they're, you know, fought their way back a little.

You know, you're actually right. I mean, I remember, I was obviously quite a bit younger, and I should admit my first day after Trini Butler was the day after Princess Dana Dines. And you're absolutely right. I remember the west of the world. There were questions kind of towards the raw farming, why were they not just not?

I think there was somewhere that we could have been the verge of, of becoming a republic. It was so the opposition against it. It was wrong. I'm going back to the whole things that we'd get in the UK that they're on the increase at the moment. They've got a really high percentage. And the tourist industry, I think it's so $500 million that they generate now.

So you're quite right now. What's the word? Resage has been a complete ton of rag. And it's, but that's what you said a minute ago about the Harry Meggin. It's important that they do carry on. in that past because you've got other countries that have lost

for all families and things that's the reality of today's world you know, people know with what they feel and you know, who knows in 56 years' time it might not get longer and maybe the raw family will no longer be the way at work

I don't always be there it might change but hopefully hope it's difficult to really say isn't it? Right. Okay, so I know look, I'm, I'm having a little breakup problem, so I'm not going to keep you much longer

because I want to... No, seriously, I want to talk to you forever, so we're going to hook up again, I promise. It was great. I really appreciate your time, and I appreciate... Look, really, if you have people that you need to have trained to be a butler,

you can send them to me, and they can wait on me, and I'm willing to do that for you. I think there could be a... I can see an amount of the school, up here. This is good. I mean, you're welcome, is really what I'm saying. So, Grant Harold, I really appreciate your time.

Thank you so much. Are you, as a butler, can you protest in the streets over Brexit, or are you just have to keep your mouth shut now? Oh, no, no. As a battler, I have to follow the Royals and don't be involved in. The biggest politics, the biggest politics to get involved in. It's when you put the cream on top of the jam, just on, right. That's the biggest political thing I'll get involved in.

There you go. Grant Harold at the Royal Butler on Twitter, at the Royal Butler. Grant, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And we'll talk again very soon. I promise. Thank you. Absolutely. No matter what camera, whether I'm looking at a camera, I'm looking at the microphone,

She says this. It's just pictures of cookies. Nice. Or the cookies, Sully show. That's awful nice over. Yeah. I mean, pictures. Thank you for the picture.

We cannot taste picture. In fact, for this show, pictures should not be a, if you're going to send food to the show, yes, you should send food to the show. Picture 301, Riverside Drive, Building 1. Pictures should not be a food. We'll just leave it at that. If you're going to send pictures, they should not be a food. That's all I'm saying. It's all I'm saying.

And it's also, you know, I've taken kindly to the, just calling it a CTF. Oh yeah, well, that's it. Yeah, CTF hotline. Yeah. I'll kind of CTF. Yeah. So we just had the Royal Butler on, which is, fantastic. Grant is such a good guy for coming on the show, and I love him.

And we'll talk to him again. And I really do think that maybe we need some classes. I don't know, here at Mercury Studios about etiquette. Yeah, he's teaching me etiquette. Yeah, the phone. I mean, if he's any kind of a teacher, it's gonna, that'll, teaching you will prove it. Yeah.

He thought the queen was, but me. No, but see, the queen and the rest of the dangleberries over there, they've all been brought up since they were little kids. True, they went to Royal School. Yeah, I mean, they've been brought up, I mean, I've heard them talk about, you know, when they were little kids. they were taught how to stand and not if you have to go pee, tough.

Stand there and take it. It's like you're training the dog. Yeah. You're tough. You wait, hold it. Even the nannies go through the training. So, of course the kids are going to go through the training. What is he going to be training?

Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. When I get my certificate of butlery, I'll be leaving you and working for the queen. I'm going to be pissed if you get a certificate. for butlery. I don't think that's what it's called, but... It is called that. It is a special branch in the butler community.

It's butlery. For butlery? Okay. Yes, yes. But there's still plenty of, plenty of news on the Royals. Absolutely. Don't roll your eyes.

Don't do it because I love these stories, especially since Megan is on board. Oh, yeah. She has brought, she has brought just a, whirlwind of turmoil to the castle. Now we have, we have some headlines that, you know, Prince William and Kate Middleton are officially split

from Harry and Megan on their charity work, which is that we talked about that, you know, earlier that they were going to split and it was all business. And it's all, you know, it was all just, it's just business, it's all. Right. We find that Harry has now launched his,

eco-friendly travel project. Right. He got his butt-whip on that one. No doubt. So he has to do something about it. Especially after bro took the family on vacation flying regular.

It's never, it's always just the tease on that. We have you should know about that. We have Megan Markle's father who wants to meet Archie. Yeah, he penned a nasty letter. man he is trash you like Megan there's not a chance Megan no well she can't no

he just wants to know I loved he was he said really he wants to meet his grandchild he wants to put a picture of the grandbaby up you know next to his daughter which you know you kind of breaks your heart a little you go oh you just go to Instagram you don't want that thank you except that they don't have any pictures of Archie on Instagram they do they do them showing

but he thinks that all family differences can be resolved I can believe that could still happen for me and Megan and Harry and I I just want to come together. And I just want to know if my grandson got the famous Markle nose. Is that, uh, never mind. So, never mind. Don't do it.

Don't do it. He's white, right? Yes. Okay. Megan is. And white people have something with their nose? That's the famous Markle nose. Oh, yes.

Okay. No, yes. Is that going to be... The famous Markle knows. Is that going to be the next... Is that going to be in the next NipTock episode? It's possible. NipTock has been canceled for about 10, 12 years now,

but I'm just saying it's possible. It could be on the next episode. I ever tell you about the... The NipTuck episode. That's my favorite NipTuck episode in a lot of time. I think it was like two days ago or something. I don't think I ever got to the story, though. Oh, well, because you said I'd said it before.

It's the... It's the... It said I've told it before. Oh, yeah, it was on Friday. I don't remember ever telling the story. So then we have a group of American tourists who didn't recognize the queen. That's my favorite story.

How is the queen not saying? She can't. I'm the queen. She can't say that. Do you know the queen? She can't say that. So she turns to the, they ask if she knows the queen. Yeah, the first asks if she lived around the area.

And she goes, yeah, I live around the area. That big castle is mine. I live around the area, you know, in the shadow of everything around here. Right? And they asked if she'd ever met the queen. And she said, no, but they have. Yeah, the Secret Service, the Royal Secret Service. So apparently that's the go-ahead for the Secret Service to say.

To go ahead. Hey, you're in front of the Queen. Hey, idiot, that is the Queen. But they didn't. She just walked out. These Americans. I know. I talked to my wife.

She said she doesn't know what the Queen looks like. So. Not what the Queen looks like. Exactly what I said. It's the Queen of England. She looks like the Queen of England. Yes. Thank you. She's been the queen for 150 years now.

Yeah. Yeah. You know who the queen is? Is she wearing a beard? Does she wearing the Santa Claus outfit for the neighborhood? Can't recognize her? The designated survivor, she went the jacket with a hat. I mean, she's out for a little walk with the black hat and the glasses. I mean, she's the queen.

She's got her silly dogs. Everybody knows. Everybody knows that's a queen. Come on. Thank you. Americans. Sad. And then there's a story that I want to.

delve into, and I know that we do not have time for this show because we're running on the Blaze Radio Network, and thank you for listening on Blaze Radio Network, but you should subscribe to Chewing the Fat. But there's a story that talks about Prince Harry and Megan's Summer of Hell. I, this story is tremendous.

And we'll get to, you know, Prince Harry and Megan's Summer of Hell recap. Great story, some really good inside stuff. But I also want to talk to you about another story that's maddening to me.

And people should be smarter. Now, we started the show off with talking about the casino ripping off our girl. I don't remember her name here. Hold on. I want to make sure that it's going to be her casino soon. Brooke? Katrina Bookman. Katrina Bookman.

You know, Brooke was close. What are you? Me? You're becoming me all of a sudden? It's a, you know, her name, Brooke. Katrina Bookman. Yeah, yeah, that's close. You look at and he'd say Bree.

So this couple is arrested after the bank, mistakenly, deposit 120,000 in there there. Now, everyone knows, at least you should know, that if you look at your bank account and there's a big chunk of cash, all the sudden deposit. You go to nearest bank, you withdraw it all, and you go and buy anything that you can. Well, that's not really what you should do. What you should do is go to the bank and withdraw it immediately. Yes. And then invest it.

Okay. So that when the eventually, when the bank comes back to you and says, give it back. Hello? Remember that? Yes, this is the bank. Uh-huh. And we remember a lot long ago, we accidentally deposited $120,000 of you a bank account.

No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, no, we did because we saw the next day you withdrew it. So, you know, we're here. So you want to let us in the doorway? Um, no, but here's a double bag with all the money. And they go away, all right? Now, they can technically, I believe, take that interest money that you make. But if you were to just say, oh, that's right.

We took it out because I wanted to save it. I didn't know if anybody was going to find it or not. Jesus, sorry. I'm wondering for the Dom to come in and pick up his money. But here you go, whatever. If you say it's yours, here you go. You're out of here. If you say it's yours, I'm sorry.

No, I need receipts that tell me that there's $100,000-something,000 belong to you. I mean, they had $1,100,000 in their bank account, and then the next day they've got over $120,000 in there. Okay, Jeff Fisher. That's a good day. When you open your bank statement and you see that, seriously, serious matter, what is the first thing that you do? I have all kinds of jokes. But in real life, you've got to go to the bank, right?

Really? Because I'm thinking about it. Because that happened to me. It wasn't $130,000, but it was $20,000 more than ever. See, $20,000, though. Because we have to work out what the cutoff point is. What do you mean? What the cutoff point is?

So what is your cutoff point? Well, that's what I'm saying, because 120, like, They're going to catch that. Okay. 20,000. Yeah. I didn't notice. I didn't notice.

Are you that loaded? I didn't notice. 20,000. What are you talking about? I just figured down, I got my job came through. The 20 grand. That extra kick from the taxes came in.

Ooh. I know that wasn't the case, but the, you know, some other place, you know, it's 20 grand. That deal came through? Yeah, the deal came through. Yeah, the deal. Because if I see 100 and something,

$10,000 more. I am taking half, automatic. Half. On top of which, you can't go to the bank and just withdraw $120,000. No, you can't.

They're freaking, don't freak out. If you go to the bank and say, my father-in-law was so pissed, he wanted to take $10,000 out, just so he had some money in his safe. And they made him jump through hoops to get $10,000. And he was like,

it's my freaking money. You're going to give me my freaking money. And they made him wait. He was pissed. That they made him. him wait. And I don't blame them. Do you get it out? Oh, yes. But they made them, when I say wait, it wasn't a couple hours. It was like a couple days. Oh, like two or three days. Yeah, they just don't give you. The bank. So the bank's not have any physical money under

vaults. Or they, you know, they don't, because of government regulations and stuff, they have to, you know, mark down. It could be 10. No, it's 10. 10. And by the way, it's $10,000 that they have to report. Okay. Anything else they have to report if it's below 10,000 and the bank thinks it's fishy, then they can report that too. Or- They can report anything. Correct. Or if it's close to the 10-grand and they say, well, because people have, we've done stories about the one guy, the congressman who said that even the cashier said, don't do 10 because I have to report it. Do 9,000 so it don't have to report it.

They still reported it. I'm just saying, anyway. It's upsetting because it's your money. And by the way, it's a old-ass man that can barely walk. What is he going to do? What is you going to do with his? He's out gambling. He's out spending it on drugs or whatever.

So if he wants to go and buy 10 hookers and blow and just make it rain in downtown Fort Worth, he's taking me with him. If he's going to do that, I'll tell you that. So if he's taking his, he's, Anyway, so they see the 120,000. I want to see what happened to you, wait a minute. Before we talk about what happened to this couple, I want to talk about you and your 20,000.

Yeah, the 20,000. So the military made a mistake. See, that's not the bank, though. No, but it got deposited to my bank. Well, you don't guess it is the bank. Yeah, yeah. It got, you know, automatically drafted to my bank. Routed into your car.

Right in my car and I woke up on a Walmart. It's going to. The military made a mistake. When they let me out of the military, I already had signed up for a another reinlissment. And when that happens, they forgot to put in my bonus

and they have to buy out my contract because I gave them so and so. So that was the difference between them buying on my contract. I'm leaving and then I woke up like that and I called the bank. I was like, I think you made a mistake because there's like this much money more in the account.

They did a little investigation and then they looked at it said, It came from the Air Force, you know, and they're like, yeah, that's from the military. So they gave me a phone number from my pay and then they did, yeah, we made a mistake and who's the rest of your money? I'm like, okay, it's a good day here. Nice. Nice.

It was pretty cool. So it wasn't a mistake that ended up having them take that money away. No, no, no. It was a mistake on there. And then admitting that they made a mistake, that's fantastic. Yes, I'd like to have that. Yeah. Please.

Well, you have to join the military. I mean, again, you mean. Again, you mean? I know. Okay. I know Grenada. I forgot. Sorry. Thank you. You have to join the military again. Thank you. So this couple wakes up to an extra 120 grand in the checking account. Now, they just, they've decided that they bought an SUV, two four-wheelers, a camper, a car trailer. All essentials. So far, yeah, everything that you need to survive. They also allegedly paid bills, made cash purchases,

gave $50 grand to friends in need. Come on, man. Charity work. And then the bank contacted them. Hello? Yeah, Tiffany. This is the bank. Yes.

And look, we made a mistake. Oh, you owe me more money? You know that whole $120,000 extra in your account? Yes, yes, yes. No, no. No, no, no. Yeah, well, you must know because you spent the, you spent it. No, no, no.

We saw that it went into your account and then you've been spending it. No. We didn't need to go ahead, get that back. I don't have any money. No, no, I don't have anything. We don't have the money anymore. I mean, it's gone. That's what she said.

You should have called me yesterday. And by the way, this is Tiffany's assistant. So then they say to the bank, okay, I'll tell you what. We'll try to work out some kind of payment plan with you. because we spent the money. This sounds just like the stupid casino. No. You gave me the money by mistake.

I keep the money. No, you don't. You have insurance. Go claim it from your FDIC insurance. They've now been arrested. Shut up. No. Felity theft charges.

No. No. No, Jeffie. No. No, because that's like me and you going to the bank right now. We're getting the same charge as if two people went to a bank and robbed the bank. Now they all.

already admitted this is where they made the mistake. Ah, they do not call Jeff Fisher. Thank you. Jeffiott Law. They didn't call Jeffie at Law. Jeffiet Law. Because they said... Is there a number for Jeffiet Law? Yes, there is, as a matter of fact.

There's a number for that? There is. 214. Uh-huh. 7359356. That's Jeffiet Law. Jeffiet Law powered by Patriot Mobile, yeah. They said the couple allegedly told investigators that they knew the money wasn't theirs,

but they still spent it. What are you doing? This is just like the case of finding drugs in the thing. This is about finding boxes at the end. You should not be hearing about this. Stop talking to the police. Or the media. They are not your friend.

Thank you. Thank you. They can be your friend outside of the job. Yes. When they are on the job, they're nobody. They're not supposed to be. No. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

No, no, no, no, no. supposed to be. No. It's not a bad thing what you're saying right now. But they're not your friend. Correct. You treat them as a police officer. With respect. With respect.

And show them and tell them what they need to know. Yes. When they say, hey, what do you have back there? Where? Right there on the seat. We're on the seat. On the middle seat, I have there a toy. Thank you.

But what's under there? I need a warrant. Yeah. We're done. Yeah, I don't have to tell you all this. I know the goose cemetery, you know, I know you're trying to be the goose cemetery. Yes. But no.

There's a fine line of like. There sure is. And I know this sounds like, oh, you guys are against police. No, there's nothing against police. It's just there's just a fine line. Like I said, what's in the back seat? We're in the back seat. Right in the middle.

And I'll give you an example of that. Okay, Jeff. That was from me. I'll give you a perfect example of this, okay? So I get pulled over. And I know I haven't told this story before. So I get pulled over and it was for the sticker, the re-up sticker on my car here. Inspections.

Yeah. And I'd completely forgotten about it. I mean, it was like a month after my birthday, right? I mean, I completely forgot about it. And I pulled out of a parking lot and the police officer was pulling into the parking lot as I was pulling out. and I saw him look at me, and I knew by the look on his face, he's turning around.

Boop, he's turning around. And he did. And he followed me, he followed me for a little while. Then, of course, I get the boop-poop, and I pull over. And he goes on about this. And I said, oh, yeah, you know, I was shoot, really?

Gosh darn it. I forgot it. And he's being really nice. He wasn't being a mean police officer at all. He was just, he pulled me over. I absolutely was, doing something, was driving illegally, according to their rules. And I was looking for my insurance tag, which you don't really need.

I mean, I always ask you for it, but I mean, I'm insured, okay? If I tell you, I've been with the same company for a hundred years, you know, it's fine. And so I open up the glove box and I say, yeah, I got it in here. Gosh, darn it because I thought I had it in the, in the center piece. and I didn't. I said, that must be in the glove box. I open the glove box. When I open the glove box, a needle.

A needle is in the glove box, a syringe, all right? That my mother-in-law used, it's empty, but my mother-in-law used it for insulin, okay? So, and I get the insurance. And he stops, and he shines his flashlight on there, and he sees the syringe. And I was like, ah, yes, this is my mother-in-law. She's for diabetes, and I closed the glove box.

I don't think anything of it. Well, now he's digging in, right? So I can either say, this is where you either say, no, get a warrant and get over it, or you say, you know, go ahead, search the car. I mean, search the car and do your job, but don't give me a freaking ticket for the missing inspection ticket when we're done.

That's exactly what happened to, by the way. he searched because at that time my car was clean and so I said go ahead and search the car and he did and then he let me go we ended up talking talking football my point to this entire story don't carry syringes around in your car my point to the entire story is

they are not your friends okay they're doing up their police job so when they when they're hauling you in there's a reason why you get to ask for an attorney the reason why and a phone call

shut up stop talking oh we knew we knew the money wasn't ours we just spent it anyway now you're going to jail now you're going to jail probably going to jail anyway

but you know it's the way it goes it does seem unfair that the bank screws up though and puts money into your account and I'm supposed to be responsible for the banks growing up. Does seem unfair. Doesn't it?

Doesn't it?
