boop. And if you don't, there's a problem. I don't know who's ended it is. You got to update to the new iOS. And I don't know what you guys call it on the Android world. You just got to update your phone. It's called update your phone. No, see, for us in Apple World, it's called iOS. For you and your people, it's just update your phone.

Whatever. Which is stupid. Yeah. No, I wouldn't want to just update your phone. You don't have an operating system. Do you just have a phone? Okay. And somehow Android is better.

All right, so this weekend we got, I mean, so much news. So it was a great weekend as far as what was going on. I mean, you had college football, you had NFL football. On Friday, you didn't talk about the college thing you wanted to talk about. I was re-listened to the Friday episode. You never got around the whole college thing. Oh, the paying for players. The paying for player, yeah.

You never got into that. I was curious, too. I was like, I wonder what was going to talk about. You got it. Well, add it to the list, man. I'll get to it. I'll get to it today or tomorrow or... Damn, man, we're going to tomorrow.

This week. That sucks. I'll have to wait another day. I don't know. We got interviews tomorrow, too, so I think this might be put like for another Friday episode. Because you booked this whole week. Somehow, Jeff Fish is on high demand from Fox 911 to Goliath, the TV show. Which just dropped on Amazon.

It just dropped on Amazon. Just so you know, I did, I did binge it this weekend. Aw. I know. That's it? That's it. Well, then I watched a little, I was a little college football. Yeah.

Oh, what happened to Martin Trivia? Did we win or we was? No, more on trivia loss. And Bart, I'll tell you. Okay, how about this? How about we start the show so that you just... Oh, we haven't started the show yet? Oh, okay, let's start.

Just before you go, like, down the rabbit hole, we need to start the show. Like, three minutes in without starting the show. Oh, that was just starting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's okay. We started. You can talk over and you do it all the time. I do?

Yes. And only you let it play all 41 seconds. I thought... No, you know... I thought that's how we had to start to do. show. No, no, no. Just like maybe the first, the first three seconds and then once you talk, I'll bring it down,

but you never talk. But you never. Oh my God, why am I talking over it then if you're bringing it down? Because you don't bring it down. I do bring it down. Okay. Okay, anyways. All right.

So, more on trivia. Yeah, more. What happened? More interview is wrong. But it was the Kansas City of Indianapolis game. If you watched that game last night, Kansas City deserved to, it was a poorest coaching decision I've seen it in a long time on Kansas City. Over five minutes left in the game.

It's third in like 80, and they get 79 yards. It's like third in 28 or something like that, and they got like 27, which was the receiver should have leaned forward instead of backwards, he would have got the first down. So it's fourth down and one. And instead of punting, we're going to talk inside football,

instead of punting, they're going to go for it because they've got the big mo, they think they've got the momentum, and they think they've got the superstar quarterback, and Mahones is the grace of God from the sky. That's when the coach is supposed to come in and go, no, not right now.

Let's not lose the game. But instead they do it. Do they get the first down? No. Cost of the game. 4 and 1 meaning that they're in the fourth down, one yard to go, right? Correct. Okay.

And the field position was horrible. They should not have gone for it. They should have punted because there was over five minutes left. They would have time to get the ball back and score. and then go for it. Yes. And it was just a huge coaching error. But anyway, so Moran trivia is wrong.

So Moran trivia is either two wins and three losses or two wins, two losses and one tie, however you want to look at it. Whoa. Two, two and one. Two, two and one. Two, one. Okay. All right. So whatever you want to look at.

Pat fall on this. Pat's going to go for two and three. I think that's what we should do. I think that's what we should do. Whatever Pat believes, that's what we should do. Stop talking. I am the commissioner of Moran Trivia. So that's what I say.

And whose show is it played on? I don't care. I don't care. I'm the commissioner. I make the rules. That's the way it happens. Okay. College football, Missouri one.

I mean, I'll talk. Was there a game that went to triple overtime? Yeah, there may have been. Because a lot of people at church were like, oh, they went to triple overtime. And they won. They were like 26 and 1 and then triple overtime. That's when I'm like, that is pretty cool.

The overtime games are always exciting in college football, which is something that the NFL should take note of. They don't allow overtime? They have overtime, but it's the way they do it is not the way college does it. So you can end up with a tie. And in college, there's not going to be no tie. Oh, we need a winner. We get a winner. So in NFL, both teams win?

No, you get a tie. Yeah, so both the team wing. Yeah, you just get a tie. And then we had, so I, then I bing, just got a lot of stupid. By the way, before you go football, did you see Ellen and W at the game? The Cowboys game? That's pretty cool. Oh my gosh, the Cowboys, holy cow.

That's pretty cool. A lot of people were giving Ellen crap because George was the worst president ever. Shut up. She's at a football game. And so now we can't have friends? We're just sit. And, hey, just because you're sitting in a box. I don't know if you've ever been to a football game in a box before

because you've been invited there with other luminaries. Oh, word of the day. Those of us. Those of us that are luminaries. Not you. Do get those invites. They're not friends. You're just at the game with them in the box and joined it.

They were cozy and talking. Yeah, well, yeah. The picture they showed, they were sitting next to each other. My gosh, they might have said hello to each other. Their best friends? They're best friends. Not Jeff Fisher. They got a braid going on, a bracelet, and a heart. With the chip initials in it.

Plus, if it's her fault that the Cowboys lost, she doesn't need to show up at any other games because they lost them. You blame her and not Bush? You know what? Yes. Okay. You know what?

Yes. Okay. Then we had the Joker movie. I want to give you my review of Joker. Wait, you watched it? I went to the Joker. We're supposed to watch it tomorrow, me and you. I know.

I called you and said, hey, we're at the theater. Get over here. You're here. I got a ticket. I wasted a ticket on you. You did not call me. Chris, we're here. You did not call me, Fisher.

I could show you right out of my phone. There's no missed call from you. Oh, we're supposed to go today. You have a lost? This is a phone that I've not lost. Oh, the picture mobile. Do you call the picture mobile for a lot? I don't know what line I called.

That may have. Either or they do not have a missed call from Jeffrey. We're supposed to go tomorrow. What the heck? Let's go. You already watched it. I'm going to go again. Oh, is that good?

Is it worth it watching it again? It'll go again because I'll be the spoiler on the audience, man. Oh, I don't care. Actually, I want you to do this. that. Here comes a clown. Ooh, watch this. Now, I'm going to ask you one question. I can't believe it. Look at, oh.

Is there any killing in the movie? Yes. Awesome. Yeah. Yes. Awesome. Can we stop with the this morning I get up and I see a headline about now they're going after the music. What's wrong with the music? So we couldn't

get them on that. We couldn't make people get violent. No? We couldn't. We couldn't get enough people to walk out. No. If. Jeff. If you believe people walked out. Nobody walked out.

I don't believe it. And by the way, if they walked out, they still got your money. So. Right. They still won. Right. And it broke record.

If you believe that. Broke October record already. I do not believe it. Yeah. I mean, he's... It broke record already. He was... Oscar worthy?

Great. Oscar worthy? I believe I called that a month ago. You called it because you said they're grooming him to be There's no way he doesn't get the after. And if he doesn't get it? He loses all, he lost all that weight.

He did all the study. He did all the background. He was great. Yeah, Joaquin was fantastic. I tell him about the movie because I'm pissed now. And so then they couldn't make any of that happen. So I wake up today and they're going after the music. Okay.

Okay, because apparently, wait a minute, I got to find the story now because apparently Gary Glitter, rock and roll part two is, I don't even know if he was convicted as being a pedophile, but he's some kind of pedophilia as Gary Glitter, the guys whose song it was. He gets so. It says here convicted pedophile in the story.

So I'll take this story from CNBC at their word that Gary Glitter is a convicted pedophile. I don't know that to be true. That's what I'm seeing in everybody. Everybody's saying that. And I don't know if, I don't know how bad of, is there a difference in

levels of pedophilia being a bad guy? I don't know. But Gary Glitter's song is played at every hockey arena in America, every basketball arena, every arena in the world plays that stupid song.

And so now we're going to go after the music, I can't believe they let the music play in the movie from a convicted pedophile. Why? Why? It's a song. I'm pretty sure I still hear Michael Jackson's songs being played around. How dare you bring another pet...

Oh, he's not convicted. That's right. Never mind. Still a parapile. So it's just ridiculous. I don't... Honestly, I don't understand why they want to take this movie down. I really am confused. I don't understand it. But I really enjoyed the heck out of it. It was really good. And the stories that we got of Joaquin Phoenix during the filming, you know, after the movie was all done and they talked about how he would be in the middle of a scene and then just walk away. And they tried to make that such a big deal. That's because, I mean, 85% of the movie is him.

So he had to be in Joker character all the time. so when he would get into a scene no boy oh my god don't stop that take that off right now all over America every arena in America but we can't play it in a movie heaven forbid

oh my God just ridiculous please shut that off this episode does not glorify pedophilia in any way or manner Classic Classic That's all it is

Jeffrey We're trying to get rid of the classics This It was made by a white person Which is bad And a convicted pedophile By the way Horrible

So you can't You can't You just can't I'm just trying to show you That if you listen to this You're literally a pedophile So I mean it's already I mean

The movie has made You know hundreds of millions already. I hope whether he wins an Oscar or not I'm sure Joaquin is getting a piece of the back end of this. Absolutely. So he's doing okay. He'll be fine for a while. He can

buy that fourth or fifth house. If you'll have a four-fifth house, dude. What are you doing with your life? Go buy you fourth and what are you doing with your life? I was watched a bunch of interviews with him, but that whole thing about him walking away from scenes. I mean, he had to. If you're in the scene as a as a fellow actor.

A thespian. As a fellow thesbian that Joaquin and I are. I can well understand. You only have one movie on your balance. And listen, and there were scenes when I walked away. Did you walk away just like that? When I was in the middle of,

for instance, as an example, there was a scene where I had gotten hit by a car. Oh, no. Did you walk out? And I just couldn't. There was a couple of times when I just wasn't feeling right. I had to walk away

and stop and come back. and it wasn't did have anything to do with the ground being ice cold but uh didn't have anything to do with that at all just had you just had to walk away because you were so into character yeah yes i wanted i wanted to be that character so i understood and i understand when you watched the movie he had to did you oh i was going to ask you so strong so did it make sense from the what we heard that he was walking out of scenes did it make sense why he did that yes just because the it was it was a lot of so if he were to not if he was to not if he was were to lose it.

By losing, I mean, lose the focus of what he was supposed to be doing. He had to absolutely stop and just go refocus. Because it's him. It's, I mean, the majority of the movie is. You watch Berman, right? Yeah. Is it like that where, like, Berman was the 100% focus of the movie? It's kind of like that.

Oh, yeah. Okay. I like this kind of movie. Even, I mean, I would say, well, the characters are so different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, it was him. It was focused on him, yeah. And they go in and out.

See, can I give spoilers? Absolutely. Can I give spoilers? Absolutely. So we're going to do here, spoiler warning. E on, e-on. Spoiler warning. E-oh, E-O.

It was spared no expense. Absolutely. That is a high class right there. The Blaze Podcast Network. I mean, they are dumping cash on the show, man. dumping cash. Spoiler warning. E-ah, e-ah.

I mean, there's usually one, two, three, four cameras in this room alone. They're gone. You know how much money that's the sun effects? There's one camera in the Blasies radio studio that shoots into the studio. You've seen the shot before if you watch Blaze Radio and Blase Television. We can't turn that on. But they've spared no expense for this podcast. I'll tell you that.

So when we want to give you a. Spoiler alert. Spoiler. E on. Now, I just want to take a side note. You could take this out of the podcast if you want or you can leave it in. Okay, it's up to me.

Nothing to do with the Joker. Okay. The person who's working behind you right now, tell them to pull up their pants. Because I'm sick of seeing his ass. You already did. He heard you. Please pull.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. No, no. See, there it goes again. He's doing it on purpose now. Okay. He's just doing it up. I shouldn't have said anything.

You shouldn't have said anything now? My fault. Yeah. And I'm not taking out of the podcast. No, take it out. Okay. E-on, e-a-a. Spoiler.

E-a-e-a-e-a. So as the Joker progresses here in the beginning, it begins great. It's, you know, in Gotham, and it's nothing. It's not the superhero Joker that everybody thinks of. You know, he's, he even talked about getting his, you know, loving the Jack Nicholson character and loving the Heath Ledger character, but he talked about how he wanted to have his own character

and create his own thing. And he talked about, he also in one interview talked about how they went to film and the first five days of filming. After the first five days of filming, they scrapped it and started again because they felt like the character was wrong. He was like, no, this is not the way,

they were both, Phillips and him, We're like, this is not, and I don't know if Todd was in on it. Todd might have said, oh, whatever you want, Joaquin. But they scrapped it all and said, you know, this, we've got to do it again. And we've got to start again because this is not what we wanted the character. And so, you know, I mean, it was already, he was from the very beginning, he was a bastard to work with. And, I mean, that's just the way it was. But it went from in and out and you don't realize, we're in the spoiler alerts, right?

We could give the spoiler alerts. You sure? Spoiler alert. And I'm going to watch it tomorrow. So if I'm going to say, sure, go right ahead, I should be pissed about it. But no, you're fine.

I normally don't feel bad about giving spoilers. Again, the movie broke records. I feel like this is, you know, after the first big weekend. It broke records. I don't think this segment

is going to make it not continue to make money. All right. Because I will see it again. I would see it again. I don't know that I'd buy it. But I would see it again. You don't realize that you're going in and out of his reality.

Really? It's really good. So some of it is in his brain. All that is genius. What is it? We're going to call those people a psychopath. That is very psychopath. That is awesome.

And then later on we find out about the struggle. he had in life and you find out what was what was true and what wasn't and there's a scene at the end and this is where I will get my son has already hollered at me more than once to not give away this scene so I won't but just let me say that in the theater when this scene happened I went yes and I was the only one this the theater was silent I mean the theater was dead silence. And I was like, yes! And I slapped my head on the chair and I mean, and then I realized, ooh, I guess I'm the only one that was extra happy about that scene.

But I loved it. And I really enjoyed the movie. Well worth of, well worth a watch. And for those of you that are trying to take it down, stop it. It's a movie. I don't know if you know this, but AMC, I think advertised last night,

fright week and they've got all these movies on of killing and death and torture those are okay but Joker oh my gosh Joker danced down a stairwell oh no

the song so we know so so last week Wednesday officially marked the start of something we covered last year and we wanted to broadcast live from there this year and it just never happened

Fat Bear Week. Amazing going on at Catmine National Park and Preserve in Alaska. You can, they have a live stream. You can follow the bears. They're not gorgeing themselves. They're just, they're eating to survive, which makes them get really, really fat. Isn't that what we do all the time? Yes, it is.

Yes, it is. In fact, it's almost as if we live in Catmai. We do. We do. Here in Dallas, we have our own version of Catmai. So I wanted to get a hold of a couple of Park Rangers, and we couldn't get a hold of any park rangers. We could only get a hold of the Conservancy Media Rangers from the Catmai Park, Naomi Moke and Brooklyn White. Hello and welcome to Chewing the Fat.

How are you? Oh, thank you. And we're going to apologize for the plane behind us because our current office is in the airport. Oh, that's fine. No problem. Where are you, you're mad at some bears? You want to leave or what's, you know, what's going on? No, no, we're not ready to leave yet. We never get mad at our bear. Okay. So I was looking at the, I was looking at the brackets, and we're coming down to the last couple of brackets now, to find out, you know, who wins, you know, the fattest bear, a fat bear week 2019. And as I was reading,

Naomi, one of yours looks like it took a hit. In this last bracket, I know you had been, you were, I was reading some stories that you were hoping for, I know it's only the number 747, but really it's 747 jumbo. That was your bear, right? Well, I mean, I really can't prejudice the vote.

Well, too late. It doesn't matter. That one's out. You're good. is this is the third year he's been robbed. Oh, no. That's not good. That's not good. So now we're down to, we're down to a 128 grazer. It takes on 435 Holly, and 435 Holly is looking pretty strong.

Looking really strong. And fresh it this morning. Those two, the winner of those two, goes up against the big 775 lefty. And they should be battling it out. I hope they're just shoveling salmon in for the rest of the day. Now, if people wanted to watch the bears go through Fat Bear Week, where do they go for that? We'll be heading to the explore.org live camps and to the bear cams there that are featured on Explore.org. And so you just watch a live stream, you get to see them, and then to vote, you have to go to...

To Facebook. And the Facebook page is the Catmai... National Park, right? And Cat My NPP. Right. Cat MTP, Facebook page. And you'll see the pictures of the before and after sort of, you know, reverse contest before and after photos. And you click on each bear and then you like your favorite bear, your favorite fat bear.

So if you wanted to, either one of you, Naomi or Brooklyn, I mean, if you, if you wanted to and you had a favorite bear, you could go out there and, you know, make sure that bear had some extra food to just turn the cameras off. Do you ever do that? Well, we got kind of strict rules about feeding bears that at Brooks. We like to stay alive. And feeding bears can sometimes result in the death of a human and a bear. Really? We don't want to do that.

Huh. That's strange. So since this has been going on now, Fat Bear Week has been going on for how many years? I mean, quite a while now, right? Well, it's five years of Fat Bear Week. Six years ago, however, two Rangers started Fat Bear Tuesday, and it was such a success that expanded like the Bears into something much bigger. Do those rangers own the park now? Because that's a million-dollar idea.

Tremendous idea. They should. But one is Mike Fitz, who now is the resident. resident naturalist for explore.org. And the other one, Roy Wood, is the Chief of Interpretation at Shenandoah National Park. They've gone on to bigger and better things. They did everything they could to get out of Cap Mai. What do you guys?

I mean, I know you guys are at the airport now, so what are you doing to get out of there? Well, I really, I cried before I left Brooks. We're not in Brooks camp anymore because it's a... All the Rangers leave in September. We left later than most Rangers so we could get some real fat, bear pictures. Now we are in King Salmon, where Park headquarters are. And I am going back to New York City in a few days. Wow.

So Brooklyn. Brooklyn's staying the winter. She wants to stay close to the bears. Oh, wow. So how long do you spend out there in the, at the park. How long do you stay there? Just three or four months every year? Yeah, four to five months. We get out there, you know, about middle of May, and then Naomi and I, we were out there until the very end of September to be able to again

collect those best fat photos of those bears. We've been hearing a lot of stories about some, you know, bad people doing some bad things to animals around the country. Anything that you've witnessed at Catmai that you think should not have happened to at all and maybe you should have broken their rifles and hit them over their head?

Well, no one hunts in the park. Hunting is legal in the reserve. Well, that we know of. There are, we have law enforcement

officers who do patrol the park. So they, we have not really had that kind of untoward thing that we know of. People do sometimes

not listen. to park rangers and get too close to the bears, which is both dangerous for them and the bears. These are not teddy bears. They're wild animals. Right. It's so strange that people think that I'll just walk up to this 8,000 pound animal high. Yeah. There are some people who have that attitude.

And also there are people who have other missions like still photographers. Yeah. who want to get that perfect shot. Of course, that perfect shot has been taken 10,000 times, and you can find it on Flickr. Not by them, though. No, not by them. And I've got to get my selfie on Instagram, Beth.

I'm an influencer. I've got to get my Instagram shot, so we're good. Right, what happens. And then sometimes fishermen think, you know, well, it's a really macho thing to do to be fishing with the bears. Sometimes fishermen get too close just because they can't see a bear. There are a lot of blind spots out there where they fish in the river. So sometimes that happens.

Sometimes mostly for rangers, we're walking down the road, and a sub-adult, those feisty teenagers, will follow us off a trail and get within a few feet of us because they think, hmm, she might be someone fun to play with. Right. But it's not aggressive. It's really curious, and we just stand our ground, and tell them no, and they walk away.

Right. So, Catmai National Park and Preserve, what is that, about a 10-square-mile park? 4.4 million acres, so it's really pretty small. I was pretty close. That's pretty close, Jeffrey, for you. For 10-mile-wise, that's pretty close. It's not the size of Texas, but it's about the size of Connecticut. Wow.

I mean, that's a good size. That's a good-sized little park. It is. And it's not the largest park in Alaska either. So come to Alaska. What are you guys doing? Make it larger. What's the largest park?

You know, I don't even know. Oh, we've got to look that up. See what that is. I think it's, well, Brooklyn knows better than I have. I do. Oh, I put you on the spot. I'm sorry. That's okay.

I know you guys aren't park rangers. Your Conservancy Media Rangers. I know. It's okay. Well, we actually are park rangers. Oh, what? We reported to the National Park Service. Our supervisors were National Park Service rangers.

We had all the duties of a park ranger, plus the media duties of doing live chats on the cam. The reason we're Conservancy Rangers is because, for a number of reasons, we were last-minute hires for the media jobs. And the Conservancy jumped in to pay our salaries. So what you did is just took the job because they said, hey, why? want to do this and make some extra cash? And you said, yeah, of course. Yeah, right. We did it for the money.

I mean, all my life I've done things for the money, which is why I'm for. So according to the Google, Rangel is the largest national park in Alaska, over 8 million acres. Oh, yeah, more than double. Wow. I think it's 13.2 million acres, Rengel, St. Elias. So it's substantial. Are you saying that Google is wrong? Okay.

Okay, okay. Hey, okay. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything. I'm just, I just, I just want to get it straight. That's all. It's all we're here for. So I appreciate you guys. Look, a Fat Bear Week. It ends tomorrow, right? It does. And so 775 Lefty is in the finals. And today we find out whether 128 Grazer or 435 Holly goes into the final bracket against Lefty. Any predictions? Well, right now, Facebook is reporting that 435 Holly has over 10,000 likes on her photo. Okay. So there's a good chance, and right now, yeah, 128 has 1.1,000 likes. Now, we've still got a little bit of time left if you figure out who will truly move on, but I think we have an idea. Yeah, 128 grazers, the loser already. You might as well as stamp an L on the forehead right now.

Oh, we love grazers. Don't call her a loser. The other thing is that tomorrow, once the contest is over and we announce the champion, we are also going to release a scan of one of our largest bears and let you know who it is and how much that bear weighs. Our geological survey team did 3D scan, the laser scans, of about four of the bears and has volumes on the bears. and estimated weights.

Pretty great. Wow. What do you think of the average weight is of a bear? Let's do a bear pre-eating. You know, pre-I'm going to go and sleep for a few months. I'm going to get so fat and go sleep for a few months, which, by the way, I wish I could do. What do they weigh at that point?

Average. Well, I mean, depends on male or female. Right. I suppose females are about two-thirds of size of the males. The males can range in size from young males, 800 pounds, maybe 700 pounds, wow. On over to the big guys well over 1,000 pounds. Yeah.

And that's, again, that's pre-fat bear week, right? That's pre-fat bear week. So they're even bigger now. Wouldn't it be great if we had fat contests? It would be not without the fat shaming. Some would say that every... Or Jeffrey won. Some would say I've already taken that to the task.

You probably don't know this, but the host's face on this podcast and network is on a piece of steak. And he can barely fit through the door. Chewing the fat. The show is called Chewing the Fat. Of course, we have to talk about Fat Bear Week. Okay, so, all right, so you told us that Holly is going to win out of Grazer. So any gut feelings, you don't have to break any confidentiality agreements, but any gut feelings on whether Holly or Lefty is going to be the champion this year?

Well, I just personally, I have a feeling it's the year of the woman. I think it's a girl celebration night tomorrow. But I'm only right 50% of the time. Right, of course. Don't listen to me. So Damien, Brooklyn White, the Conservancy Media Rangers from the Catmai National Park and Reserve in Alaska talking a little bit about Fat Bear Week. Thank you so much for coming on.

I appreciate you guys so much. And I know you do a lot of hard work throughout the year. And the Fat Bear Week is just a minute part of it. And I really appreciate it. And I hope that it really brings some awareness. I mean, that's what the whole point is, right? bringing awareness to the park and to national parks around the country and taking care of, taking care of the animals, right?

Yeah, absolutely. And taking care of the resources that we have and what the resources where you live locally. Yeah. So I really appreciate you guys coming on and we will absolutely talk to you next year. And if we can, maybe we, you know, maybe we build like a, you know, a little, I don't know, a little stand above the river and broadcast live from there next year. something cool. Yeah.

Well, we do, you know, I do live broadcasts all year, you know, all season. Oh, you don't need to talk down to me. I'm just talking about my show being there. That's all. I mean, I'm saying your show would be on one of our live broadcast. I am a fan of that more than you have any idea. I'd love to talk to you about that. Thank you so much.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. Safe travels. All right. I need a drink of Coca-Cola Zero. You know, I know, some of you were concerned about the break room. The break room was still going on, but they were under construction.

They put in a new ice machine, put in a new oven, and a new stove. So, you know, I couldn't really just work out the timing. I don't go on in and out of there. But I still have my Coke Zero. I'm highly upset that they didn't do what we suggested our Coca-Cola machine. Thank you. They didn't do that. I know.

They just put a little super fridge and put some cooks inside. Whatever. Just Coke. Yeah, well, thank you. Yeah, just Coke. So, Rip Taylor, rest in peace, Rip Taylor. 84 passed away. Very, very sad.

I loved Rip Taylor. Is that a singer? He was a comedian. And he was the old, it was the old confetti tossing comedian. You'd introduce him, and he would come through the audience throwing confetti on the audience and laugh. He also has He had the TV show $1.98

Yeah, the $1.98 beauty shop which was, I mean, so funny. And 84 passed away. We lost him. We lost them. We also got news that Alex Trebek We lost him too? Oh my gosh. No, he's not. No, we didn't lose Alex. Oh, who? Alex is still alive. That's a jeopardy guy, right? Yes, he's struggling

even more now. Oh, now I thought we were all clear. I know. He was doing really good. And then he came back. Then it started coming back. And now he's saying that he might have to give up Jeopardy. Because the chemo that he's going through is starting to put sores on your mouth, which it does because it's just poison going into your body.

Because it kills everything. That's the problem. All I'm hearing is that Jeopard has a slot open. And I think that Jeffie's trying to audition for that. Are you hearing that? That's exactly what I'm hearing. See, I'm not. I'm hearing.

hearing how sad it is. I'm hearing an entire campaign, like the Pope campaign, of Jeffie for Jeopardy. That's what I'm hearing. See, what I'm hearing is that I feel sad that Alex is going to have to leave. See, that's you hearing it. But I think everybody else is hearing it's like, here's an opportunity for Jeffie to become the next Jeopardy face. Look. You have to lose some way for that.

You have to lose some way for that. You have to hold the little skinny mic. No, that's a different show. And then invite people down. Come on down. That's a different show. Oh. That's a different show.

So you don't hold the skinny mic? And that show I wouldn't have to lose weight because that's got, what's his face hosting it? Wait. He lost weight. Drew Carey. Which he lost weight. They told him that he had to lose weight and he lost the weight. That's why I was thinking that game with a skinny mic and you have to lose weight and invite people down.

That's the price is right. Oh. I mean, what a good gig that is. That's not that. Okay. That's not Jeopardy. Oh, okay. And plus, I won't be fat-shamed out of a job.

Okay? I won't have it. So, I mean, first of all, Alex hasn't stepped down at all. He's just really sick and get chemo thores on his mouth. And all I'm hearing is that I want to fill in that. I'm going to have the skinny mic and move down and roll the wheel. Actually, I have all for that for Jeopardy. It might, you know, might read Cooper, ramp it up a little bit instead of the,

Come on down. I mean, let's wrap it up a little bit for Jeopardy, all right? Yes. Anyway, no, don't. Welcome to Jeopardy. Thank you. Hey, you wanted to play today. Come on down.

Step up here. Let's take a look at the wall, shall we? Come on. Your categories are. You're perfect. You're perfect. You're perfect. You're perfect.

And the double jeopardy is me. just give me the double jeopardies forget about inviting different guests or different stars let me ask a question the double jeopardies yeah i know jeopardy uh gee what a great idea we'll think about it uh you turn to sound like the network people now i don't like that okay so then this weekend we hear about this lady who was wandering around in l.a down in the trains in the tunnels and being homeless and Are you really homeless if you're living in one of the train tunnels that I'm paying for? Absolutely. I think that's that becomes your home, right?

Yeah, that's your home, yeah. Come on. The California people are paying for it. Yes, which is our money, by the way, too. No, it's just California. I know what's tax dollars from us going in there as well. Not from Texas. Yeah, no, that's not true, but go ahead.

That's not how taxes work, but go ahead. Say how exactly taxes work. So, I don't know. Maybe talk to me when you pay your taxes. I pay my taxes. I pay my taxes, my friend. So it's definitely my taxes. They're going from Texas to California somehow.

Believe me, I pay my taxes. So she's a Miss Opera singer, and there's a police officer that catches her. And I guess people, obviously, she's bugged people for a number of years wandering around the train station. I'm not going to play this audio if you're going to bug me down. What do you mean? What did I say? Bothering people. I said bug, but.

Yeah. I know what you meant. Okay, here, let me, I'll rephrase. So apparently she's been entertaining people. There you go. In the tunnel for years. And finally, this police officer said, hey, can I record you? And at first she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.

Not here, officer, me too. I'm a homeless crazy person that's been living down here in the tunnels forever. You can't film me. No, I'm not the one that's living in Las Vegas. You want to film her. You can go to Vegas one. You want to get the porn star on the tunnels on any Vegas. That's not here.

So he records her. And this is, you know, this is her great opera singing, entertaining people. Yeah, beautiful. Plus me to sleep. Love it. Why would you listen to? Oh, this is the best message you're going to sleep to. Oh, yeah.

Oh, listen to me. She's hot, too. No, she is not. She is gorgeous. She's not dirty. She has all her teeth. Which leads me to. believe perhaps she's not homeless.

Well, she's not, we already said that. She lives in the tunnels. So if you're in the tunnels, you're not homeless. And that cart is full, and she has two bags, no, two bags in a bucket. It takes her a while to put it in the back of that ramped truck she has parked up top, but you never, no. Stop. I know, I know.

So it's beautiful, right? And everybody's wondering, my gosh, why is this lady homeless? So they've donated to a GoFundMe page. She's got hundreds of thousand dollars now. She's got a record contract, a recording contract. Some guys said, hey, I'll record you. She's, you know, big opera singer. Now, this is one of two things happen to this lady in her life.

One of two things. One, she was put down by big opera. And Placito Domingo. Really? He's been holding her down. Placito Domingo, holding her. I said, you'll never make it an opera. And now that he's gone, she'll be able to make it.

Or, Stu, she's homeless in a year. She's back to the tunnels in a year. And my money is she's back to the tunnel in a year. We've seen it before. People try to help the homeless people. And I don't know what to do. I don't want her to be. I want her to travel the world and entertain the world.

And remind everyone, hey, remember me from the tunnels? I, too, can change. So can you. And just be a spokesperson for the homeless people. Will that happen? Let's hope so. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. Hey, don't forget the Mercury One Ball is coming up.

October 26th, 2019, at the Dallas Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas. So if you have an opportunity to come to the M1 ball, show up. It's a big part. We're going to be partying. Oh, man. we party we bring out the dancers and the balloons

flourish take that fear take that movie let's go come on down don't forget to donate right

enjoy the homeless opera singing come on down and donate to M1. Help the Nazaree Fun. Okay, so the ball is where Mercury 1 makes money to pay their bills every year.

So the money that you donate. In all seriousness. You're not serious. Yeah. The operator's probably not going to be there. Wait, what? Yeah. Just a guess.

I don't know. I should not plan to see the Oprah. Homer's definitely not going to be there. I guarantee you that. The opera. And the opera lady from L.A. And the tunnels is not. Homeless.

Homeless. It is homeless. that isn't, is not going to be there. She's got enough money to travel here now, but she won't because she's open. Well, does she know what an airplane is? I don't know. I don't know.

She's lived in the tunnels for so long. Hasn't been out to see the sun. I can say that Joy Villa will be there. Does Joy Doe the opera singer? I don't know. They're both living in California. So we might be able to talk to Joy Villa and be like, hey.

You've been down in the train tunnels? Can you find this opera lady? Could you document her? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Let's make that happen. Okay. Yeah. I mean, what the hell is Joy got to do now? She does. lazy there. She's going through a divorce.

She made that public couple days. That's what I mean. She's got no. True. She's going back to a bodybuilding. Aw. Jeffie. All right.

I'm sorry. She's going to slap you. I know. I know. I know she will. And I deserve it. And I deserve it. Buy your tickets.

Buy your tickets to see Jeff Fisher be slapped on the face by Joy Villa. Because it's going to have. happen. It's going to happen. Last thing she came in with a documentary crew, so maybe this year she does that too. I mean, if I get a slap in the face for the documentary. Come on, man. I'm all for it. Come on, man. I'm all for Joy, I'm here for you. Okay? I'm here for you.

Unlike your husband. Anyway, oh, see. Oh, no, see, why? You make me do that. I make you do that. Plus, you get an opportunity to, you have an opportunity to win a Mercedes. Yeah. Mercedes at the M1 ball. I mean, I'm going to already win. I was going to say, is it really fair? You could drop your hundred bucks on a ticket and think you're getting a shot, but I'm already going to win it. Now, I say this, if you have a chance, if you want a chance of winning, you have to buy more than five. Yes. Right?

Like if you want a true chance, more than five tickets. One ticket doesn't move the needle. Are we still giving away a seat at the table? No. Is that still happening? No. But we will give a chair. What is going on?

The seat was taken back. What is going on? Because it was given away already. So I think we kind of lost track of the seats. But I can talk to Susanne and see if we could have a chair and a seat in our table for that person. I can do that because I have a meeting with her. You want to do that? I can do that.

I want to know. I want a concerted effort. And I want to know what the hell happened to our chair. Our chair was given like twice. and they forgot that it was given twice. So by the time I was like, oh yeah, we'll take it. Someone else says, oh, but you gave me this chair. They're like, oh, but you gave me this chair.

So, yeah. So we're already up a couple of people at our table. You know, what the hell let's go up another one? But no, seriously. So here's a deal. If you come to the ball and you've bought tickets for the Mercedes and you're going to be part of the live auction trying to get stuff and you're there to party and you want to dance

and you're looking for the opera lady and you're looking for joy to slap me in the face, we'll wave to you in the back because there's not an extra chair at our table for you, okay? Sorry, wish we had one for you, but we don't. We don't make the rules. This is just us bringing people in. They give us some chairs, they give us no chair.

But I could go out and make a chair and then whatever chair you bought, I can make it a CTF chair. Right? Yeah, we could do that. Yeah. Is it going to happen? You have to find out.

It's possible. If you think Chris Cruz is going to make a chair, you're sadly mistaken on that. See, not for that stupid comment, I'm going to make the chair. So apparently, a Fortnite, and who doesn't, I mean, he's in 12, baby. You start playing Fortnite. You just get locked in and you can't stop. It's all over the place. Apparently they're being sued now.

Another big lawsuit. I know. Like, can we stop? It's a dance. This lawsuit is a floss. Everybody wants to floss. Oh, I know, but that's not it. Oh.

Now. Too violent. We took up the guns. Yeah, no. Like, oh. No. I know it's fake money and some parents put their credit cards. Right.

No, that's not it, though. They're being sued now. Copyright. Like, I know some of the characters look like other characters. Like, okay, guys. It's, it's. That's not it either. They're being sued now.

You know, violence is. on the rise and the Joker movie just came out and, you know, some characters look at the Joker. That's not it either, though. So, Fortnite is being sued now because it has the same effect as cocaine on kids' brains. And now we'll go to the expert in drugs. Jeffie, have you play Fortnite? Oh, Chris, how dare you ask me that question? Okay.

Fort Knight and I, I mean, I've got the original copy, and then I've got the middle copy, and then I've got the new copy with the gun that they took away. Then I've got the copy with the gun that doesn't have the gun that they took away. And then I've got this new copy, and then I watch the show, the concert they put on, inside of Fortnite with the guy.

Yeah, the concert put on. And so being Fortnite, man, we are. It's one. Yeah, it's like. So it's impossible. Now, I know a lot of people that have used cocaine. I was just saying, have you been in the presence of someone else using cocaine? Yes.

And have they told you- And have they told you, man, when I play Fortnite, it is the exact same thing when I used to get high in cocaine. No. No, no, hold on. Okay, let me rephrase it. Jeffie, have you heard in the circle of Fortnite and cocaine? right in the middle, you know, the diagram in the middle shows that there's some connecting points.

Yeah, no, they're talking about it. They're talking about the game releases the same pleasure chemicals. Yeah. So have you heard any complaints of your Fortnite buddies and cocaine buddies saying, hey, we get the same pleasure when I'm playing my Fortnite and doing my cocaine. How many times? No. I feel like you're working with big cocaine and big Fortnite.

I mean, I could, I could, let me, all right, stop. I don't want to just jump to anything. No, I don't, I don't want you. This is very serious. I realize that, I realize that they've hired psychologists and they really dug into the human brain and they're making an effort to, you know, prove that the game is just as addictive and gets you just as high as cocaine. So I want to think about, you know, maybe at some point I was sitting around somebody that was

Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. Somebody that was, you know, doing cocaine. Do cocaine? And I couldn't get out of there, you know, fast enough. Yeah. And I had to listen to them talk for a while. And, uh...

Did he mention Fortnite? That he gets the same chilling? No. No. Sorry, no. I don't... So you call them this lawsuit, a BS lawsuit? I don't buy.

I know that you know the game's addictive. Every kid has a game that they play that's addictive. Every kid. I have one called Brick and Balls. And I play that every day. there you go it's just a little ball bouncing some bricks and it gives me the same feeling as cocaine

right right so you should be part of this class action lawsuit right it's ridiculous isn't that the point of those games yes to get you addicted well I didn't see that stop yeah yeah okay sorry sorry sorry

I know as soon as I walked through it I wear back down the point of the game is to get you interested in the game To continue playing the game. That's why you have Call Duty 15. And every one of those games has an opportunity for you to, oh, did you lose on level two? You know you could purchase secret balls

that will kick more bricks out for you for a price. Just log in. And I paid that $79 a couple of times now. I get fussed when I get that stupid bill from Apple. $14. $14,000, brick and balls. Damn it. I did not want to lose.

Just agonizing. Oh, that's what, you know, that's what happens with cocaine. Is it? You use it. Oh, my God. You use it. Tell me. Tell me.

And then you realize, I'm all out. And you think to yourself, I need some more. And so you pay for some more. You pay so. So same thing. Wow. Same thing. I've got a way that you can feel the same way again.

Buy more. It's just, that's where they're at. So agonizing. Good luck for it night. Good luck. Because in today's world, we've got. We've got doctors being sued. Look at Jules.

Jules is done. I don't even know how their doors are still open. Honestly, I don't know how their doors are still open. Honestly, I don't know how their doors is. They can't sell. They can't sell it. These states, they can't sell. These states they can have one flavor of dirt to sell in this state.

The rest of the flavors, oh my God, could possibly are the same flavor as a cereal. The world is ended. I don't even know how their doors are open. I don't know either. Seriously. This is the company that gave millions of dollars to their employees for Christmas bonus. Yeah, because they were doing so good.

Now, I don't do jewels. I don't smoke. I don't know. But, like, I support them. They're not causing it. And then it comes to. I don't understand it. And we work.

Do you see WeWork? Dude, we work is done. Yeah, there's another one. Done. How is that? It is, the IPO got canceled and went, I got an alert this morning. They are shutting doors.

No. We were done. Yep. No way. Not the whole thing. Because that's another one that I'm surprised. You know, I wondered how long they were going to be able to keep their doors open. And they were.

Everybody got upset because they were all serving beer. They're just trying to make a freaking better place with employees. Well, and for people who showed up, not necessarily employees, but for people who were renting the space. And you rented a space. You didn't necessarily get the same space every time when you came to whatever floor or whatever office complex they were going on. But you had an opportunity if you ran into space to have coffee and water and then beer.

And you had, you know, it was a place to work. I'm surprised that they're, you know, I knew that they were struggling. I don't know that they're 100% closed now. And I'm surprised Jules to still try to keep their doors open. But, I mean, maybe they've got enough global properties to survive. But go ahead, go ahead. Now you're going to tell me that, oh, you know what? I was wrong, Jeff.

They aren't completely closed. It's just a, my alert said that they're going to. And you were right. No, no, I'm just looking for it. Yeah, I know. You're just looking for something that's not there. But go ahead. I did was reading it when I was half asleep.

Yeah, of course. You know, I understand. I know you're trying to go. I just had it here. We work, we work. Okay, right here. WeWorks ex-CEO Adam is reportedly selling off his home to pay off the giant loan that they took out because the IPO was canceled. Yes, that includes the $21 million Bay Area Pad.

So right now, the owner, the CEO, is selling all his stuff to pay off all the loans to stay afloat. Okay. They're done. They have it officially done. That's what I said. You can step down from the witness stand. We also had a tremendous thing happened this weekend that I wish I had done. I'm actually sad that it wasn't me.

And it happened a while ago, but it came to the forefront this weekend to me. And for the life of me, I just, I don't remember the story happening. but it made the rounds to me this weekend and I was like, holy cow, why wasn't this me? So, and some of you are going to go, well, yeah, Jeff, well, we remember that. It happened, you know, months ago. So this Alexander Courts

and his Twitter account tweets out how to be a beautiful woman. Now, whether it's real or not, it's just a tweet, right? But his tweet is, Be thin, be able to cook, have long hair, wear makeup, be feminine, be graceful, be sensual,

shave, should without saying in parentheses with that, be fashionable, wear pink and feminine colors, love men, listen to men. Stay classy, ladies. Now, I know, this is going to come as a surprise to you, but there were a lot of people that took offense to that.

And there were a lot of people that, mostly females, that took offense to that. And I wish I would have been a part of this. I'm disappointed, because that is fantastic. And, I mean, do I agree with anything in that tweet? Ha ha ha ha. Huh. Uh.
