And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Thank you for flying Fisher here. We appreciate you. We're flying over the Atlantic Ocean today. You know, I just feel my coffee. Everything will be fine. Don't worry about it. I just filled coffee all over the communication.

Communications, bud. Everything will be, everything's going to be. Don't worry about the oxygen mass traffic. Everything fine. We're going to Ireland. We're going to Ireland. We're diverting the plane. We're diverting the plane.

Never mind. We're not going to go to where we're in destination. Turn it around. We're not going to Germany. We're not going to Germany. We're going to Ireland. Thanks for flying fish you're here. Okay, so they're trying to make a big deal out of this transatlantic flight that was forced to divert

to the Republic of Ireland. I say, thank you. Thank you. So the pilot, a relative of mine, had to have been because I'm the only other person in the world that would spill liquid on a working control device. And I have done it in the past. So they're flying, he gets a coffee cup without a lid,

spills it on the control panel. And it ended up being so hot that it started melting the plastic button. It started smoking And the whole communication Was difficult between the crew and going on So they just diverted And everybody was fine

No problem The 11 crew members The 326 passengers All fine Sorry Sorry we had to You know Dvert the plane

But we thought better We thought you know Instead of going to Germany And possibly Crashing We're going down We're going down. I thought instead of doing that,

let's just go to Ireland. We'll make a quick, we'll be fine. We'll be fine. We'll just go land here and we'll change planes. Everything is fine. I mean, thank you. Thank you. I'd be pissed on the plane, though.

Right? Come on. But there wasn't there, there was a movie, an old movie. Now I've got to find the stupid movie. An old movie that this happened. That this actually happened. Are planes?

Yes, that's what it was called Airplanes. I just happened to see this old movie like a few weeks ago. I got up in the middle of the night, my father-in-law had the TV on. It was this old movie, and I sat there half awake, half asleep, and that's what the movie was. They were trying to figure out why this plane crashed, and they were reenacting the whole thing, and that's what happened.

They figured out that the pilot had spilled coffee. It went into the control rooms. That's what caused it to crash. So good luck And congratulations To the Airbus A330 That was operated by Condor Who decided, hey, things are melting

Let's divert the landing Yes, thank you Thank you Don't worry about the oxygen mask Because everything's fine Just remain seated, keep your seat belts on We're headed to Ireland We're not going to Germany

We're not going to Germany Welcome to it, chewing the fat. Thank you for coming along for the ride today. I appreciate it. Some great news. As you know, if you've listened to this podcast before, I've often said that I want it to be, when I pass away at whatever point,

give my body to a body farm. Let them do what they want with me. Let them have that. Now, my wife may think twice about that. The family members may not like it too much, but, you know, so it might not happen. But I'm okay with it. give it to the body farm.

You know that they use it, put you in different predicaments so they can see what happens to your body after you die. If you've watched CSI at all, that's how they tell, you know, hey, this particular bug comes out after the body has been there for three days, four, so on and so on. Well, now an Australian scientist has proved that human bodies move around for more than a year after death. So have fun with that.

After studying and photographing the movements of a corpse over 17 months, they found humans don't really, her words, rest in peace. I mean, really, that's why you put them, you mummify them, you wrap them up, you put them in caskets, you do whatever, you turn them into dust. Because if you just leave them out in the dirt, you just bury him without a casket, They're moving around. Things are happening. The arms get flung to the side because of decomposition,

ligaments dry out. I want to see the history of bodies moving after they die. I hope this will be a complete study with pictures and all. I want to be part of the criminology school that shows me all of this. But be ready for that news. to break soon because you heard it here first on chewing the fat. Yeah, that's right. You're welcome.

So we talked about this on Friday during Pat Unleashed. Not only did we do more on trivia, which was correct again. Did we win? This season, yes, we are. We did win. We are two no. So is that two zero? Yep.

For this new season, we are two wins, zero losses. But we talked about how the rock stars are. aging. So many huge rock stars are aging and their 70s and their 80s and they're not going to last forever. So then we leave. Friday we get to do is Eddie Money died. Right? He's 70. Then this weekend we found Rick O'Kasig dies.

Now the report on him was that he's 75. Everybody's going by the Wikipedia page that he was 75. But there's also a report that shows up that he's 70. So which is it? Which is it? Don't give people business of their age because you don't know, we don't know your age.

So you should not be giving the business to this guy. Is it 70 or 75? That's a good point. It doesn't matter. He's in a 70s. But this is a primary example of what we talked about on Friday. They are starting to drop. It's sad.

I mean, all the superstars that we know over the years are dropping like flies. It is. I don't even need the list in front of me. You got Elton John. I mean, just to name Billy Joel, Elton John. They're not dead. Don't look at me like they die. They're just they're going to. They're in their 70s. They're. Mick Jagger, right? All the lead singers for all these groups are in their 70s. They're going to be dropping soon. It's going to be sad. We are losing them all soon. I know. I know. Why are you looking at me like, why are you looking at me like that? Oh,

just, just wondering. Wondering, what? That, you know, you didn't give any more names. What do you want? You forgot, you know, the Tyler guy. Stephen Tyler, Aerosmith.

Okay. Ozzy. Okay. You know who they are? You know who they are? Well, the people, just because you didn't know who Eddie Money and Rick O'Kasic was, doesn't mean that they're not rock stars. Yeah, but they're not important because they haven't come to my generation.

Well, they have, you just don't realize it. If I must go down, another pop culture lesson for you. Think on this one you have to if you want me to be relevant with you. Nope, I'm going to, you know what, Eddie Money and Rick O'Casek, nobody knows who they are. Why did I even talk about them? All right, let's talk a little crime. The men, and specifically the one man who dragged a shark to its death,

behind its high-speed boat, is now going to jail. He's made a deal. He's going to jail for 10 days. I think that's too long. It's way too long. He's going to pay a $2,500 fine, $250 hours of service at an animal shelter, and lose his fishing license for three years.

Now he pled guilty to misdemeanor animal cruelty. Well, they had other videos that showed him and his buddies shooting a shark and pouring alcohol down the throats of live fish. Is that wrong? Apparently, yes. You can't get a fish drunk now? What's wrong about it is that you should videotape. Absolutely.

That's what's wrong about it. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launched an investigation into all these videos. So what got him is they recorded it all and they were laughing and they posted it. Look, he's almost dead. They're dragging the shark behind him. It's a shark!

He has rights to Jeff Fisher. Are you working for PETA now? I mean, I already said congratulations. Good. I mean, I'm glad that he pled guilty. if you went to trial and this is the deal, right? That's why he planned.

When you take what you get because if a case like this goes to trial, you're doomed. You're doomed. You're doing a lot more than 10 days and you're paying a lot more than $2,500. You're never going to see. They're going to have to register

if you go with a thousand feet of a zoo. I mean, they don't want you around any animals. What's that? The register. Yes, registration man. If you heard an animal. What's a regimen? Because, you know, for pedophiles is, you know, the pedophile register.

Yes. This is an animal cruelty registry. Yeah. If they don't have that, they'll start that now. But you have to register if you're, today I'm going to the zoo. Oh, no. Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. I'll shut it down.

The next thing you know, never mind. Shut the alarm off. We've taken care of the problem. So don't be messing with it. I mean, that's good. That's what I mean, he had to make the deal. Plus we had the deal of what's her face too? Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori.

Pay for my tuition. It's still too long. Still too long. She got like 14 days. 14 days, yeah. It wasn't Lori, it was the wife of. Felicity. Felicity Huffman.

14 days. That's way too long. Come on. Have we gotten the guy yet? Right. Where's the guy? He's waiting right there. He hasn't been on trial yet, I don't think.

That's what I'm saying. He has dropped out of the conversation. We've got to find out of the actual guy. What happened? you. Please hold. Your listenership is very important to us. We care.

Thanks for holding. If we could find the answer, you'd be off hold by now, but we can't. Thank you for holding. All right, so we looked at, I know we appreciate it. I mean that for holding. It means a lot to us. Okay. For those of you watching, sorry.

You got to see a little bit more behind the scene. that you had planned on. For those of you, you know, listening on audio, sorry, you're going to have to watch it. So there were 50 people they went after. This singer is the guy. He was originally charged with what? So originally he was sentenced up to 65 years in prison,

but the government recommends a three-year of supervised release and a fine of $1.25 million. He's the guy. He's the guy. They recommend that he gets off, but Lori and philosophy are they have to go to jail? Okay. We've got to do a timeline on some of this. It isn't just the, it isn't just singer.

It's the schools. It's the ACT, SAT test administrators that were part of this. I mean, he had a system. And the schools and the coaches were all, These are the people that should go to jail, especially the coaches and the university administrators that knew this was going on. Ridiculous.

But we'll do a whole timeline and we'll find out exactly. I mean, Singer's Foundation, he had a great scam going. Did I say that out loud? I mean, he had a scam that was horrible going. Now, we have another great. timeline too we're talking as long as we're on crime we might as well talk i mean there was some there was some great crimes that happened one great crime that happened uh over the weekend where a solid gold toilet from uh winston churchill's birthplace was stolen now the picture of it looks pretty

impressive got to be heavy too solid gold toilet a bad boy got to be heavy and it was worth over a million dollars, stolen. They didn't, well, nobody's going to steal the toilet. Uh-uh, wrong. What was Donald Trump? Thank you. They told the gold toilet and they left, they screwed up the plumbing so they had water damage everywhere.

I mean, okay. They've arrested one man in the case, but he hasn't been charged yet. So we'll see, we'll see what happened. He got the same lawyer as singer. Right. No kidding. That's the guy you want, man. Oh, yeah, that's the guy you want.

Yeah, maybe I don't know. El Chapo needs to call Singer's lawyer. Be like, bra. Thank you. I know I did all this, but hey, what about number two or number three? You know, they could go to jail. Plus, I love the idea that, oh, it's gold toilet. No, we don't need to guard it.

Nobody's going to steal the gold toilet. What happened to my gold toilet? Somebody stole it, sir. What? I love that. We also had a movie pass say goodbye.

Just say, wait, I didn't break it to you. I'm sorry. Sorry. I've got some sad news for you. Movie pass. It's not feeling very well at all. Movie pass is really.

No, it's dead. It's over. It's gone. They pulled the plug. Really. As far as movie pass is concerned, it's surprising they've lasted this long. They, you know, they were almost out of it when they went to get some investor money. And that investor money, that leaked. And as soon as that leaked, everybody said, what?

They've got to get investor money. And then that was it. That was the end. But it was a good idea. But I think like big theater, big movie theater shut up down. I know. It's a conspiracy. It's a big theater.

Big theater wanted to shut them down. Because aren't they doing the same thing now? It's funny you say that, yeah. It's funny you say that. I have a timeline here from 2011 to 2019. Okay. It should be this Saturday who will be the death of movie past. Oh, wait.

They aren't dead yet. They're still hanging on life support. They're still breathing heavy. Yeah, they're live support until Saturday. Saturday, they pull the plug. They bring the lawyers in and the plug. I apologize. Guys, I read, take that headline down.

It's not dead yet. My God, man. So in 2011, MoviePass offered the $40 a month subscription to let you watch movies in any theater that you want. Now, back in 2011, it was just like a credit card and they just put money in your credit card. And then you go to movie theaters. So it didn't matter what movie theater you want to. That did not matter what movie. Because it was...

You had this, right? I had this, yeah. And it was just... They just put money in the credit card. You get it approved. You swipe and then you're done. Then, then you got in town. Did you have...

I want to back up for a second. Originally, you paid... How much a month? $40 a month? $40 a month for unlimited movies. And you could see a movie one time, right? Yes. One time in the month.

One time, 24 hours. One time in 24 hours. So you could see the same movie all... Camar. Yeah. You know, every day. Okay. Now, that seems like a little, I mean, my plan would have been a little bit different

than that, but they didn't consult me. They never do. I love the, I. Look, I'm here for them, okay? I'm here for them. They can call the hotline. They can, all they've got to do is call the CTF hotline and you're good to go. If I could remember the Patriot Mobile CTF hotline, I could tell you right now, it's a 214-735-9.

9356. There's the CTF hotline, powered by Patriot Mobile. And you can call me. I'm here for you, all right? But, so did you have to call them and say, hey, I'm going to go to AMC and they want like $12? It's the app.

Okay, so you use the app at the theater saying they want $12 to see the movie. And they'll release. Yep. Gotcha. Okay. Then the new guy in town came in Mitch Lowe. He was hired as a CEO. And there, at the time he got high,

There was only 20,000 customers, so he cut the price by 75%. Yeah, we talked to this guy. I remember talking to him, or the Glenbeck radio program. I remember talking to Mitch. Then that went to the peak of the insanity, which was at $10 a month. The break-even price for movie pass was one movie per month. So people signed up. That got it all the way up to 3 million people,

binging 5% of all movies watched in late 2018. Wow. So they got all this money up front, the pyramid scheme, but they did end up having to put it out because people were actually going to see the movies. Amazing. Because that's why I wanted it. Well, that's what happens.

I thought about getting it. I never did because I'm lazy. But I thought that's a good deal. It was a good deal. Yeah. So what happens now is that the theaters were still charging full price for each ticket. Because he was trying to help work a deal with the theaters, which they should have done.

And that's where your theory comes in. Right. Big theater said, that's a really good idea. We should have thought of that a long time ago. Duh. And no, we're not going to work a deal with them because we're going to put them out of business and do it ourselves, which it took longer than expected. Well, you know, according to them, they said that, you know, they had to pay the difference for each ticket, movie pass. So let's say AMC was charging something that had paid the difference and movie pass lost $21 million a month.

$21 million a month they were losing by paying the difference of the ticket prices. That sounds like a plan that's unsustainable. So that's when he had a- It's just me though. Look, I'm not a business guy. No, you're not? I'm not a business guy. guy. So, you know, I, you know, maybe, maybe businesses could lose 21 million. Well, he was saying

that Amazon lost money for 20 years. So he was trying to follow the Amazon. I don't know that Amazon was losing 21 million a month. Exactly. So that's when, um, the CEO had to raise the prices and add those restrictions that said people like me, F off because I want to watch. You already got, you already gave me the whole deal. Now you've restricted me. I've only watched one movie and It hasn't been the movies that you chose for me? No, I don't do that. Yeah, well, it's still a pretty good deal. Yeah, but I want to watch, for example, like,

I want to watch Spider-Man three times. I couldn't do that anymore. And, you know, I kind of agree with that, with that plan. I think my plan would have been, you know, like, say, $40 a month for unlimited amount of movies. You get to see, you know, the one, you get to see this one movie a month. The same movie a month. You know, like I could go to the theater and I could see all the movies at any theater I wanted to see,

but I'm not going to keep repeating the same stupid movie over and over again. That's just dumb. So at its peaks, a movie pass was worth $5,100 a share. Wow. Today, point negative to 0-018. Yeah. Wow. And Saturday.

Man, am I glad I sold? at 5,100. Oh, you did? You did? You sold? Oh, I got out of it. I knew. I thought, well, this is...

At least you didn't buy a high and then sold low. No, because actually, I would have. That would have been me. Had I invested it all, it would have been high. And that's you're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to buy low, sell high. So now AMC is offering a movie pass. Huh.

And let's see what happens with AMC. What's the AMC plan? We don't know? Because I know it's one movie for 890. a month. You get to watch one movie a month, plus you get discounts like 20% off if you bring a guest. That's not a deal? That's not a deal. No. Oh, the point of, if you movie theaters want to stay open, if you movie theaters want to stay open and stop fighting Amazon and Netflix and at least maybe, you know, work together to bring

movies to the theater and bring people to the theater and still be involved with Netflix and Amazon and Hulu and every other app that are coming to America, Disney Plus, you need to have a deal to get people into your theaters so that, you know, people come and spend, I don't know, nothing to watch the movie and they still have to spend $18 billion on a cup of popcorn. That's where you're going to make your money. Just, you know what? Big theater, man. Big theater.

I'm sorry. I was wrong by that. Oh, boy. That's not right at all. How much is AMC movie pass? According to MC pricing is 1995. 20 bucks a month. And you can watch up to three movies per week.

20 bucks a month or? A month. Okay, so 1995 a month, three movies a week. That's not bad. Making the math, it's not bad. I don't think that's too bad. Because you got to use it, though. See, they're hoping you don't use it.

But if you use it, three, you're seeing, what, 12 movies a month? That's a pretty good deal. And, you know, you're going to have to use a little, if you want to make money on the deal, you're going to have to use a little common sense and, you know, know, know what food to sneak in. I mean, what food to buy at the theaters and what to not buy at the theaters.

Just saying. All right, I'm still stuck on the movie theaters. All right, I can't get past the movie theater deals because I've got a thing against movie theaters to begin with. They charge them way too much money. They think they're better than everybody else. They're crying poor because Netflix and Amazon is putting stuff, okay, I'm going to theaters, and they're taking our business.

We'll figure it out. Now, the AMC deal, I've already told you how to figure it out. I've already told you how to figure it so the new releases can go to my home early and you still get people to the theaters. We've worked that deal out. Now they've killed off Movie Pass because MoviePass wanted to cover everybody. Now everybody wants their own little deal. It's kind of like it almost sounds familiar like Netflix.

And then all the companies said, hey, we could do that too. And now they're pulling out and making their own apps. Almost sounds like that, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. So now AMC, we talked about their deal, which is 20 bucks a month for... Three movies a week. Three movies a week. That's pretty...

That's a good deal. I feel like that's a fair price. Yeah, but the problem I have with AMC is once I start going to Cynemark, AMC is beneath me. It's like when I start going to like studio movie grill, I'll take studio movie grill over... They were spoiled.

What's the other one that you could get food? It's back here, the brand new one. Yeah. So like AMC for me, it's like, oh, you... But studio music is not as good as the... There's another one in a CIS. of Keller, Texas, that's better than this.

Really? But is it a local brand? Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Movie theater and eatery, whatever is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I will say that I went to one, one theater that ate food that had the best food, though. The seats weren't as comfortable. They didn't have the tilt back. That's the problem with the AMC. The chairs don't go, the chairs don't go all the way. It's a tease. it's like you go

I'm like, wait a minute They're still comfortable enough to watch a movie Sometimes you don't want to get too comfortable To watch a movie That's where I see Cinermark That's what got me all spoiled Cinema could go all the way back

And I need a pillow Which I bring Right And then you know You're there to see the movie No it's not fine You're there to see the movie Shut up

They got my money So why they care Make it comfortable No they don't care But I do If I take if you go to a movie I don't want you sleeping through the stupid movie

I want to talk to you about the movie Have you seen the movie theater that has the beds and the sofas? We have to go. Me and you have to go. This one right here, a little bit north of the dollars. Is there is one actually here? Yeah, there's one here. I went with Ellie a couple years ago.

It's fantastic. Me and you should go because it is the booze and food and the bed and the sofa and you've rented. And you feel like you just move in for like two hours. But it has to be a long enough movement. movie. You know, like, Avengers, definitely. Yes. You go see that one at the couch with the bed and the cushions and the servant, give me the pizza. That, those movies, but if you're going to see like, you know, Disney, an hour and a half movie, it's not worth it. Because by the time you get

hit an hour, you get too comfortable and they're like, oh, I got to get out. It's over, got to go. Get out. Yeah. Change the sheets. Those long movies are amazing. Plus, okay, so that Cinemark has their deal, right? Cinema's got their deal. which is the original deal you were talking about. 899, one movie a month. One movie a month for 899? But if you don't use that movie, it rolls over and it never expires. So now I've spent $18 and I have two movies.

Yes. I don't know. And I get nothing for it. They're not giving me a thing of popcorn. Well, you get 20% off. You get 20% off on all those. Oh, that's good. 20% off a million dollars is really helps me a lot.

They wave off the online piece. So when you order online, that $1.50, you keep that $1.50. Oh, that's nice of them. So already, you know, that's a good prime. I don't like, Sidemark needs to work on their movie pass. Because AMC has a beat already. Yes. But Cinemark has better seats.

And the problem with the movie pass on Cinemark is you can only watch the digital movies. You can't watch the, you know, XD that is powered by unicorns. Oh, God. Or you can't watch the real D or the real 3D, which is powered by, you know. Seeing it that way is just dumb anyway. It is that. You want to see the movie on the big screen. You want to get the full effect.

You want to see the movie on the big screen. I bet you you won't pay for the D box either. You know what the D box is? That's the moving seats, right? It's the best one. That's just dumb. Like the movie Ad, what was it we're talking about? Ad Astra.

Ad Astra. With Brad Pitt? Yes, we have to see that. Brad Pitt controls the screen. We have to see that one in D-box. Because Interstellar, no we don't. Interstellar came out when DeBox came out and everybody loved it

and I missed that opportunity because I was not in a big city. Tell you what, Chris, I'll make a deal with you. Okay. You can get Interstellar at the house now. Right? Yeah, I haven't. Yeah, I haven't.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay, here's the deal. I'll come over for you. Give me 1999. Okay. All right, and I'll come over and I'll shake your freaking chair every time

something happens in the movie. But will you make it like I'm floating? I'll make it seem like you're floating. I'll come over. The rocket ship goes off. I'll shake it to all hell.

For 20 bucks, I'll do that. No problem. And if I can't make it, my kid will be there. All right. So in Greenwood, Mississippi,

there's a soybean oil mill. And I don't know if you know anything about soybean oil. mills, but if you work down in the pits of the soybean oil mill, you don't smell great coming out of there. Okay? It's not...

Can I quote you on that? Yes, you can. Yes, you can. So there's a convenience store across the way that the workers shop at that, you know, that's the only reason with the soybean mill shuts down, the convenience store shuts down, right? I mean, there's no... That's how they're making their money.

But now they've got a sign on the door that says, notice bad smelling oil mill people please do not enter uh how about no uh we've had customers complain about the odor of employees tough it's called for breeze uh they work at the mill they're coming in and spending their money they're keeping your store open tough and if you really really what should happen is now they're saying well the express grain workers continue to shop

And in fact, they just send workers that aren't working in the pits in to get their stuff. So the workers that don't smell like stinking rotten soybeans, send less smelly workers inside to buy the snacks. How about you set up a little stand, I don't know, outside the store for the for these smelling oil mill people, something instead of saying they can't come in the store that's kind of ridiculous and I'd like to meet the people who you say complained about the old stinking oil mill people at your store

I don't think people complained I think it was you Mr. convenience store and rag Randiv the owner actually his name is Aniraghani Rha sorry? Anya-Rogg. Sounds like an episode from Thor.

A-N-R-A-G. Anya-G. An-R-A-G. Anya-R-A-G. All right. Whatever, Anya-R-Rog. And it does sound like... Yeah, it sounds like an episode from Thor. I bet you he doesn't pronounce it like that.

No, he does not. Just a guess on my part? Is your phone number we can call him? Maybe ask him... We should call him. It's the... The Ports of convenience store, sign of the store, Anyarag.

who manages the Greenwood store. It's in Greenwood, Mississippi. We got to call it. Greenwood, Mississippi, and see if Anurag is there. Is your convenience store name? Express Greenwood continues. Employee Michael Blomis.

Information Greenwood Commonwealth. Oh, there might be in the, let's go to the dot-com story. See if there's a picture of it because it's across from it. You just call a convenience store in Greenwood, Mississippi. Are you across from the mill?

Are you banning stinky oil mill people? No? Okay, hang up. Is Anya Rog there? Nobody here by that name? Okay. Thankfully, we now know. I don't know.

To be honest, I don't know how I have survived this long without knowing, but we now know. Pop superstar Sam Smith. You know him, you love him, Sam Smith. You know, he made the announcement earlier this year that he identified as non-binary and gender queer. But we now know that after a lifetime of being at war with his gender, he's decided to embrace who he really is inside and out. He wants us to know that his pronouns are they, them.

He got upset because after he announced he was non-binary and gender queer, fans still wanted to know hey, do we call you he, him? What do we call you? Pop superstar Sam Smith? And he said, my pronouns

are they them? Duh. Agonizing. What's your pronoun? In other news, Miami. The Miami Heat. The Miami, the American Airlines Center in Miami, where the Miami Heat play, where concerts are played,

American Airlines has decided that, hey, you know what, we don't want to sponsor the airline center anymore. Listen, we're proud to call Miami home. We just don't want to renew the naming rights. Oh, so they listen to this.

They listen to what? When it comes to climate change, what is not realistic is not responding to the crisis on the, not responding with the solution on the scale of the crisis. Because what's not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. American Airlines knows. We're out.

So we're out. To New Jersey or New York. We're out. Listen, they're still going to invest in programs that support the community. but we've still got thousands of American Airlines employees living working here in the Miami-Dade area. They're coming to Dallas.

We just don't want to. We don't want the naming rights anymore. So listen, we wish Miami-Dade County all the best. They're not going to be there in a few years. We wish them well in their search for a new sponsor. But now they're scrambling, right? They got by 2020, they need new name on the American Airlines Center.

All right. I said a while ago that that's it, the Travago guy is done. Because he got busted for DUI drunk driving down in Houston. Here, yeah. Houston, Texas. He gets busted for drunk driving. And I thought, that's it. No more Chavago gig.

That sucks to be him. Eh, eh. Every time I turn around, what do I see? Trivago on the TV. New Travago commercials with Travago guys. What's his name? William. Williams. Tim Williams.

So good for you, Tim. I don't know what kind of deal you had with Travago. I don't know how you pulled it off, but good for you. Because most people get the DUI and the company's like, we're going to, we appreciate Tim's hard work. And we know that he's struggling with some issues, but we're going to have to part ways. We're going to have a new Travago guy.

Yeah. I love how they have them. Meet TV's. sloppy sexy pitchman. Oh yeah. I love that. They love them. They love him.

I don't know where he came from. Oh, I know where he came from. He came from the Cosby show. No, he did not. I remember, listen, I watched that. I remember watching that show with my grandfather. And I don't remember him on that show. Yeah.

Williams got his first acting role in a bit part of the Cosby show. Oh, sorry. Which never aired. I knew it. Sorry. Okay. Thank you. I'm not that far off. According to this, he played a teenage boy who got in a teenage girl pregnant.

You bastard. Even though it never aired. But he has a good history. He landed the role in Homeland. Then he went to my so-called life. Before that, he was doing Law & Order, Sopranos, Strong Medicine. Whoa. Huh?

Timberlius was in the Sopranos? Yes. Uh, okay, we're... Hold on right now. We're going to find that out to be true or not. Do you want to go ahead? Okay. Then after he went on big films like Valkyri,

Ninja Assassin, the Apertreon and Labyrinth of Lies. Then he moved to Germany to get a voice acting role for Travago in Germany. He's working. Okay. And then the second part. So he's got something on somebody. So like five years later, he became the voice. So he auditioned as the voice only voiceover for Tobago, Travago in Germany.

Five years later, he's the face of Trivago. For him. So is this wrong? Mr. Meskame, hold on, soprano. Played down neck one episode. Oh, and still get credit, bro. That's one episode. I know, but he still's able to say he was in the soprano.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. For him. I can't find that. I'll got to go back and look at the episode. I want to see who he is. Who he is? It says his name, Mr. Massen Smith or something. He's got to be, I hope Tony walks in and punches him right in the face and walks out.

That's a... Is he on the new one? Doesn't say that, no. Doesn't say... He's a balloon? No, he's not anything. thing this year. Nope.

Sorry, Tim. But good for him that he kept his job at Chavaggio. Anyway, that's, yeah, I'm wrong. Sorry, I apologize. That's pretty cool. And now you know that he was not only in the Bill Cosby show, he was at the soprano. But his role says that he was, you know,

first acting role was at the big Cosby show where he played a teenage boy who got in a teenage girl pregnant. And then he got a soprano gig. Law and older, man. That's another strong one. No, no. Everybody's on law and order, big deal. Not everybody's in law and order.

Everybody's been on a law and order. Name somebody that hasn't been on a law and order. Do you name one? Jeff Fisher. Like I said, you can't. You can't. You can't even name one person who hasn't been on a law and order. Jeffrey Fisher.

Can't even name one. By the way, did you see all those voicemails I sent you over the weekend? Yes, I did. Okay. Did you listen to all of them? Every single one of them, Chris. I went through, I listened to some of them multiple times. I mean, that's...

Now, give me, you know, I want to say your favorite one out of the 250-something I sent you over the weekend, give me the one that you really, really like. My favorite one of voicemails that someone called the CTF hotline on the 214-7359356. Stop stalling. Give me a number. Patriot Mobile. Because I usually name...

I put voicemail and the number as it was received. Give me a number. I got to go back and take a look because there was something that were so, so darn good. So darn good. Yeah, you know, like, give me a number. You're like, oh, man, that one was so good that I have to play on the air. Oh, I like the Natalie. The Natalie.

Yeah, Natalie Call. Nadle call. Natalie La Call? What number is that? The CTF dating line, 233. 2-33. 2-33? See, but I didn't pick that one.

I picked another one that was my favorite. Oh, but why did you ask me for my favorite? Okay, so let's do this. I'll play my favorite, and then you play your favorite. What number was it? Who was it? 21. It was 221.

He's sound like my damn wife right now. Hey, Jesse, hey, Chris. This is Josh. I had a question for you. This is a very serious question, Chris. so I just want to give you a head step ahead of time. I was listening to your Fat Pile Friday episode from last week. You were talking to the fellow I don't remember his name about Grandparents Day,

and you were talking about the parties you're going to throw at yet. And I was just kind of curious. You mentioned that, you know, you were going to have everything there that parties offer. So it got me thinking, first off, is it appropriate to have, hookers and blow at a grandparents day party and secondly were their hookers and blow at your grandparents party all joker the side thanks guys for the time well i mean let's be clear uh it is legally never appropriate to have hookers and blow at anything you do that's just wrong uh just wrong um in real life it's appropriate whatever you want

Did I have hookers to blow at mine? Anyway, there was Natalie. Hello, gentlemen of CTF. My name is Natalie. I have to admit I originally was not planning to call the CTF dating hotline. Because, as was correctly pointed out on Friday's podcast, this may not prove the best idea. I disagree, but go ahead. You're already proving me wrong.

I had an accident. Yeah. And it happened. I had one of those. too. Pieces, Pop-Bes chicken. Loyal chewing the fat listeners and viewers, and yes, the video food is fabulous.

Might recall that some time ago on the podcast, we received some advice. Though smart enough to listen to the best podcasts ever while eating chicken, would experience something. Thank you. Now at the time, we were rather confused about what that something might be.

Now you know that. But today I can tell you. Thank you. It is the realization that I am uniquely qualified to date the gentleman listeners of CPS. Certainly there are many worded candidates, women who are bright and beautiful, vibrant, creative, with an infectious life. But I am one of only two on the planet who have less messages on the CPS hotline, whom just is sure has addressed a baby.

Now, clearly, I am taking this as a personal endorsement for me as a dating candidate. It's good. And that is why I, like the podcast, should be rated 20 stars. Have a great day. Natalie, thank you so much. And this isn't necessarily exactly how I was expecting and envisioning the CTF dating line to work, but I've become a fan of the way this particular plan is working out. And so we need to continue down this road.

And I'll talk later to you badly. Just call me back, okay? I'll talk to you later, baby. Bye. Did you see, she mentioned that she was at Popeye's. Did you see where Popeye has recently announced the Bring Your Own Bun plan? Yeah. With her chicken?

I knew it. that's why I asked if it was the chicken or the buns they couldn't get a hold of I mean there's just come on now the whole thing's a sham by the way Natalie was not the only one that participated on the CTF

Dateline we got a couple of text messages with pictures some people I'm just going to say please put on clothes is that's not appropriate and I'm going to say no that is appropriate I got one of them

that ends in 9674 says hi Chris and Jeffie so you're starting this dateline I'll give it a go I'm 30 my pronouns are she and her and I'm straight and I'm going to show you a picture of her

and you tell me Jeffie Natalie turn the radio off for a second okay yes yeah this one should be and then if you were wondering we'll also have some male candidates

that decided to join of course Our CTF day. Yeah. Yeah. We want everybody to join. Yes. Looks like Ryan the lonely trucker from Minnesota.

On board? Yeah, he's on board. His hobbies are riding his Harley trucking. Listen to all blaze, especially CTF. Looking for like-minded hot chicks who lives in or near Minnesota. I was going to have to hook up with our girlfriend. Did we talk to somebody on our DMV? Yes, we did.

from Minnesota that took care of the chicken. The chicken, yeah, yeah. Stop in, bro, DMB. I believe she's taken. So. You say that now, though. Oh, okay. But he says, I'm looking for.

He rolls in with that 18 wheeler. And the horn. And the rest is his. Thank you. She says that he's looking for a prime cut of meat, not choice. We're starting to push the envelope on the dating line a little bit.

By the way, um, we have another voicemail. that I would like to play for you. He is offering himself to go find Jeffie. Oh, at Jeffie. Yeah, the Twitter guy. Listen, I'm not recommending this.

I've tried to contact him. He blocks everybody that tries to contact him because he knows. At Jeffie is me, and it should be me. I should have that account. And he won't do it. He's up in, you know, northwest of the, United States of America

hugging trees. And, you know, it's okay, I guess, but I'm not recommending people go hunt down at Jeffrey. If it happens, it happens, right? I mean, I can't do anything about it, but I do not recommend it. I don't want people to

do it. That's the way it is. Point of personal privilege, he and his. Yeah, this is Jason from Woodward Oregon again. I've heard several references to the back fat name really digging that every time I hear it yell across the room anyway

just calling to let you know that if you wanted me to get a hold of that other Jeff Fisher that you could call me back at 503 550 let's be clear right now please just go ahead and stop it for a second all right and I appreciate it and thank you we need to stop for a second okay it's not another Jeff Fisher all right he's just taken at Jeffie So there's no two Jeffies.

There's no. There's only one Jeffie. Yes, but he's not Jeff Fisher. He's just the owner of at Jeffy on Twitter. So if you're going to go beat the crap out of another Jeff Fisher in Oregon, it's the wrong guy.
