Starting point is 00:00:00 And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Just a little helpful hint for those of you that like to rub powder all over yourself or, you know, your child. I know sometimes, you know, it's helpful to have, you know, powder to ease the abrasions of skin rubbing together. Well, Johnson & Johnson is recalling its baby powder. after discovering small amounts of asbestos in the product. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:00:36 It's just a little bit of asbestos. Now, it's already in trouble because it's the talc in the baby powder. It's supposed to cause ovarian cancer, which, of course, the company has repeatedly denied. But out of an abundance of caution, they're going to go ahead and recall this particular batch of baby powder lot number 2, 231-8RB, if you happen to have
Starting point is 00:01:05 Johnson and Johnson baby powder in the cupboard. It's also, of course, immediately initiated a rigorous and thorough investigation into the matter. It's working with the FDA to determine the integrity of the tested sample because we don't even know if the test is true. We don't even know if the bottle was sealed or not,
Starting point is 00:01:25 but out of an abundance of caution, we're going to go ahead. recall that product anyway. Probably a lot. Probably a lot. But you never know. That live in the Metroplex, the DFW Metroplex here in Texas
Starting point is 00:02:16 are well aware of the storms that rolled through the area last night and into the wee hours of the morning. Well aware. Plenty of damage all over the Metroplex. Now, of course, My house was not left alone either, but, you know, who cares about that? Not bad. Who cares?
Starting point is 00:02:34 Didn't have part of a roof anyway. Ah, who cares? Big deal. It's just, you know, the tarp and stuff that was covering up, that's gone now, too. Who cares? I'll worry about it. You know, the rooms that were empty anyway because they were destroyed, they're just destroyed a little bit more. I don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:02:52 You know, that ceiling that hangs over in the garage when you pull in, you know, that holds up the garage door opener and stuff. Yeah, that could fall at any day. time. No, it's just sagging full of water. Don't worry about it. It's got that low sag. It's okay. Most of the stuff has moved out of there anyway, thankfully. But, wow, I mean, it was just, it really was a horrific storm. I heard Pat say earlier this morning on Pat Unleashed that it sounded like a hurricane. It did sound like a really hurricane wind and a storm bashing up against the house last night.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I came close to thinking it was another tornado in my name. neighborhood again, the way it was pounding up against the side of the house. But a big surprise, though, that there was a big storm and lights would be out at intersections this morning. So I wouldn't want police officers to be out directing traffic. No, I don't want that to happen at all. Any of the main intersections that have, about one, two, three, four, five, six, six lanes crossing another six lanes. I wouldn't want police to direct traffic on those anyway. No, you want, you want cars to, they had time to stop by, and put up a stop sign.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Just so, I mean, that's what you're supposed to do when the lights are blinking. You stop and go. Stop to go. That's part of the deal. Traffic flows. But then when you have a train come through during drive time, so you've got that backed up, plus no lights. No worry about you.
Starting point is 00:04:17 You don't need to go anywhere in your car. Just sit there. Just sit there. Be happy. Be happy. You're in an automobile that works. Be thankful. Be thankful.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I will say that the Alamo Draft House, though, in Dallas and Richardson, very nice. They issued a statement this morning saying that the theaters were fortunate enough not to be affected by last night's storms, and many of our neighbors weren't so lucky. If you're without power or we're in the path of a storm and just need a place to take your mind off things for a little, they're offering free tickets to all G and PG-rated films at Lake Highlands. Los Kalinas and Richardson all day today, which is kind of nice. I'm sure there's at least one theater
Starting point is 00:05:04 that has a PG movie in it. So you might, you know, it'll be a little packed, but you'll be able to get in there. Don't worry about it at some point. And they also said, if you just need a charge your device,
Starting point is 00:05:17 all the bars are going to be open and have power. I mean, it is nice of them. I'm not, I'm sure that they're going to add a, you know, a PG or a G movie to. an extra one for the theaters for people to show up. Positive that's going to have. Positive. Our email question of the day, though,
Starting point is 00:05:34 coming into Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com from Kelly with the question, do you convict or acquit? Now, a Florida man has gotten in trouble because he was in his bedroom with, you know, with his girlfriend and they're taking care of a little nighttime business in the bedroom. You know, just taking care of a little business
Starting point is 00:06:08 as couples do. I mean, it's horrific. There is just his girlfriend, not his wife? I don't condone it. I'm just saying it was happening. But as they're taking care of a little business, they hear some noise outside the window.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And there was 57-year-old man, a sodic car peeping Tom looking through the window watching them take care of a little bit right i don't know that that's what he was thinking outside that window in the bushes but uh i mean you get i got a pretty good idea of what he was thinking right and i mean look i no don't get me started on peepicop however this is this is where the question comes in to comes in all right so he hears the noise and he goes outside to see what the heck is going out out here all right He found Mr. Peeping Tom a car standing partly naked outside the window.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So we know a little bit of what he was thinking. I mean, that's what Peeping Tom is do, right? I mean, hello, that's why they're there. And he starts to beat the crap out of a car and the girlfriend calls the police. Well, before the police get there, he is beaten darn near to death. and then they take him to the hospital less than two hours later he dies.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Right? So now the boyfriend is in trouble. Victor in Del Rey, Florida, is in trouble for beating this guy to death. He was arrested and charged with the peeping Tom's death now being held behind bars
Starting point is 00:07:54 on $100,000 bond while he was. wage trial. Thus, the question from my email, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, Kelly, do you convict or acquit? That is a good question. Because at some point, right, I mean, you realize you're with the guy. Obviously, his argument is that he didn't mean to kill the guy. He was just angry, lost control. Mr. Peeping Thomas half naked. He goes outside. You know, his juices are already flowing. You know what I'm talking about. And, uh, then he starts pummeling this guy. Is there a point, though,
Starting point is 00:08:30 where you have to realize enough, right? Now, the guy already had a previous criminal record for prowling, it doesn't matter. I mean, he doesn't know that when he's beating him up. All right, he doesn't know. He just knows that this guy's outside his window, watching him and his girlfriend, and, you know, half naked in the bushes,
Starting point is 00:08:50 uh, and comes outside, pounds him, gets mad, and then, you know, the beating kills him. So that's a tough one, man. That is a tough one because now he's, you know, he's been arrested in jail. He's going to go to court. He is, you know, charged with manslaughter. Okay. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I know that's a tough call whether you want to convict or not on that. That's a tough one. But moral of the story, don't be a peeping tom. All right. So earlier I talked about. powder, baby powder being recalled. And now I see a story
Starting point is 00:09:31 where I'm supposed to stop using dryer sheets. Is there anything I can use anymore? Is there anything I can use at all? Okay, so they're talking about, you know, how dryer seats are great. You know, I love them. I don't necessarily like the, you know, the fluffy, flowery smell.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And I have used them for a place of deodorant before. Remember when I, I mean, I talked about it, I've talked about it before. We were on a trip to Salt Lake City for a man of the moon. And I forgot my deodorant. And instead of purchasing deodorant, there was a box of bounce in the hotel room, and I used sheets of bounce as deodorant.
Starting point is 00:10:12 You just put them in your armpit. You're fine. You're welcome. However, I probably shouldn't have done that because now I'm told that they're made with known carcinogens. hazardous pollutants. And I just, I don't know that there's anything that we should, we should not be concerned about anymore.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Well, I have a feeling, I have a feeling that these dryer sheets with the, it's just a matter of the amounts, right? Of course, if you used, if you used the entire box of dryer sheets in one load of clothes may be harmful. I don't know. I don't know. Now I'm going to have to drop some kind of green
Starting point is 00:11:00 lemon drop and into flour pots and grow some plant and then cut off the leaf and throw it in with my clothes and that's going to solve my problem. Now I'm going to have to put up a clothes line and hang clothes outside
Starting point is 00:11:18 back in the old days. That's what they want from me. They want me to clean my clothes with a rock at the river. and then hang it up over a tree limb and be happy with it. That's what they want for me. I'm not doing it.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm not doing it. Damn it, we've evolved. We've evolved, and I like the evolution process. I don't want to have to walk down to the river. I don't want to send my wife down to the river. I want to send my wife to the washroom where the washer and dryer is. I don't want to have to have her walk down to the river
Starting point is 00:11:46 and bang my clothes clean on a rock and then hanging on a tree limb and have to wait for them to dry. That's the kind of nice guy. I am. I don't want that for her. I want her to be able to wash my clothes in a machine and then put them in another machine to dry.
Starting point is 00:12:02 That's what I want. That's what kind of guy I am. I know. I know. And of course, you know, this is stuff that you're putting on your body or putting on things that are going to go on your body. But forever, forever.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Every two or three months, we hear how they want us to eat bugs, right? They want us to eat bugs. Bugs are the new superfood. The UN wants us to, oh, bugs, oh, bugs are so good. They're full of protein. They're good for you.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Bugs are the way we're going to solve the food crisis in the world. Yeah, I'm not doing it. First of all, I'm not doing it. Second, now, and we've talked a little bit about this before, I remember when they first started talking about it, and now it's even more proficient in their thinking. and I don't like it. Cockroach milk.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Cockroach milk. I'm not talking about taking the cockroach and squeezing although you've stepped out of cockroach and watch the goo, you know, goo out. If you were to drink that, that would be cockroach milk. Well, it would also be cockroach guts and goo, but just separate a little bit.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Just the white stuff. Oh, that's a gut no stick with the milk. But they want me to start drinking cockroach milk. I don't know that I want to do that. I don't want to say, right off the bat because who knows it might be good. You got a little sugar with a little sugar in it
Starting point is 00:13:29 you never know. A little sweet in cockroach milk. Perhaps the sugar will take away from the goodness of what the cockroach milk is supposed to do for me. But four times more nutritious than cow's milk could again this is all United Nations.
Starting point is 00:13:48 That could be a key in feeding our ever expanding population. Yeah, so could growing more corn. How about we grow more corn? How about that? Chances are. Cockroach milk is it. Now, a team from the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I love that team at the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. And right now it's based in India, but they'll be there everywhere soon. Has sequenced a protein crystal from the Pacific Beetle cockroach. the only known cockroach to give birth to live young. So the other cockroaches lay cockroach eggs. This particular cockroach, the Pacific beetle cockroach, gives birth to live young. To feed its offspring, the roach also produces a milk-like substance with protein
Starting point is 00:14:45 crystal. So we don't even, we're calling it milk, but it really isn't milk. It's a milk-like substance. with protein crystals, three times the energy of buffalo milk. Aha. So, I don't know how many cockroaches,
Starting point is 00:15:09 Pacific beetle cockroaches, it's going to take to make you a pint of goo to drink, but it seems like it's going to be a lot. So now we're going to have to come up with some genetic way to make the Pacific beetle roach milk accessible to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, right? Because according to the team at the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine,
Starting point is 00:15:43 the crystals are the complete food. Proteins, fats, sugars. They have all the essential. amino acids. If you look into the protein sequences, it's also, you know what? And it also will speed the digestion process.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Here you go. I've decided, no. Because now they're not going to let you put sugar in it because it already comes with the correct amount of proteins, fats, and sugars. If you put sugar in it, you're just reducing the goodness it's going to do. All the yummy goodness of carbs.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Cockroach milk. I think we have to come up with a new name, too. Maybe that's what we do. Email me at Chewing the fat at theblaze.com, chewing the fat at the blaze.com with your idea for a new name. We're going to start marketing cockroach milk. But we can't call it cockroach milk because nobody's going to drink cockroach milk in America. And America, maybe China. China's, you know, the burgeoning market.
Starting point is 00:16:48 And a bludgeoning market, too. and so maybe they would consider it's cockroach milk, it's okay, it doesn't matter, but I'm guessing if we want a worldwide campaign to market, we've got to come up with a new name. So email me, chewing the fat at theblaze.com with a new name for cockroach milk so we can market and get it out there for the people.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So you can realize, right? Cash in. Cash in on the Pacific Beetle cockroach milk. Yes. another million dollar idea from chewing the fat. You are welcome. Well, let's do some crime.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I mean, there's plenty of news in crime to kick off a Monday. We have, how long are you willing? This guy was actually genius. And I use that in a, you know, a bad way genius. Because, I mean, you know me in crime. I don't like it. Nobody supports the police department more than me. Nobody supports the police more than I.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I do. But a man in Georgia, what would you do to steal $13,000 worth of jewelry? All right. So you know, this guy goes to Costco, walks around the store, hangs out, then he leaves, leaves the store,
Starting point is 00:18:20 then he walks back into the store, hides behind the display, waits for the store to close. He probably's not whistling, though. That would have got him busted. Now, the people at Costco clean up, and the manager, I guess it's supposed to walk the store every night. Good job.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Not. So the guy is, I mean, I guess, you know, if you're hiding behind the pallet somewhere, you know, you're probably pretty good. Yeah, you're probably pretty good. So the store closes, everybody's gone. He comes out, walks around the store for a little while, smashes the jewelry case in, takes the jewelry, walks out of the store, hops in a truck drives away.
Starting point is 00:19:05 So they've got a video of them in the store. They've got video from a store outside of the Costco in a truck. There's a nearby theater that has security cameras. They see the truck driving. They don't know who he is. Just gone. They really, if anybody knows who this man is, please turn him in. How about the no?
Starting point is 00:19:31 The guy waited for, I don't know how many hours behind a pallet to stay. steel jewelry. What's you going to do to me if I report him? How about no? Oh, that looks like Billy. How about I go? Hello? Hey, Billy, it's Jeff. Uh, look, I saw your face on the surveillance cam. Good job at Costco. How about you give me a ankle bracelet, that diamond one down there that's worth of a couple grand and we call it even. I'm out of it. I won't let you go. You keep the rest. You only got about 13 grand. You got to have 10 grand. You're good. I won't say anything. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:06 All right, we're good. That could happen. Billy might get mad. But I don't think Billy's a murderer. Right? He's just a thief. So you're fine. Billy's not like the guy in Kentucky
Starting point is 00:20:17 over the weekend who decided to use a frying pan and a crossbow. And I mean, he actually killed people. But they don't even know why. He got into an argument with his father and his sister, crossbow and a fry pan. I mean you use what you have Let's ban guns
Starting point is 00:20:39 Guns are evil Let's turn in guns Crossbow and a frying pan and I might add Killed people over the weekend Okay So Easy on the gun talk Did they call them a McGiver murderer?
Starting point is 00:20:53 Yes Yes they did That's exactly oh my gosh That's exactly what they know No No they did They did Which McGiver
Starting point is 00:21:01 The first The first McGiver or the reincarnation of McGiver. Because the first MacGyver, maybe you call him. The reincarnation wasn't that good. I watched the first couple episodes got bored with it. Maybe it was the whole
Starting point is 00:21:17 MacGyver thing. Maybe it was the whole McGiver thing. Now we also had huge news out of Mexico where they went to arrest Joaquin El Chapo's kid who is I remember we told you that his girl got killed.
Starting point is 00:21:35 killed the murderer, the, uh, uh, Kim Kardashian of the drug lord, who was the murder with the pink AK and stuff that killed her off. Now the Mexican government went to arrest the son of, uh, El Chapo. Big shootout. I mean, El Chapo's son is not going down. There is just, I mean, he, look, you're not arresting him, right? That's just not happening. He's not going to, he's not going to go down for free. All right. So, people killed, 16 people wounded, the vehicles are left burning in the streets. The footage was amazing.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I mean, the footage looked like a movie. It was real life, Jeff. It wasn't amazing. Okay, these people lost their lives. They were trying to bring in a wanted criminal. I know, I know, I know. So then they have all this battle going on to arrest him. And what does the government do? You know what? We've decided, never mind.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Pull that warrant. Don't arrest them. Let them go. We've lost too many lives. There's too much battle. going on. Do you write a new check? Somebody get a suitcase full of cash from El Chapo's kid? You aren't lying. Cash registers are going off.
Starting point is 00:22:49 We're going to sit in this house and we're going to fire weapons until the end of time or you can take the suitcase full of cash and I'm walking out of here. Let him go. What do you do? I mean, if you're the Mexican government. You take the cash. And that's what they've been doing for years.
Starting point is 00:23:05 It just take cash, which, by the way, I might say, that should be the new motto of chewing the fat. Take the cash. One more crime story. Hold on. I was going to end there, but I have one more horrific crime story, and this is something that is more of a warning, really more of a warning for your safety. In fact, you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:34 We'll play a little, whatever kind of little do-dad music here, and then we come out of the little do-dad music that we have, and I'm going to give you a warning on a criminal. I'm not sure I consider that little do-dad of music, but it'll work. We'll leave it. Thanks, Taylor, I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I don't want to do a lot of music. Anyway, so I know those big news over the weekend that Felicity Hoffman, who was in, I told you last week that she's in prison for 14 days, and really only 13, because they counted the travel time of the days. They have now been, spotted in her prison
Starting point is 00:24:15 greens at the camp prison that she's in. She's housed in the all-female minimum security facility in northern California. It's the closest minimum security jail
Starting point is 00:24:31 to her home. We didn't want to go too far away. That's how bad of a crime crime. I mean, just set her to that one. It's close. She's fine. So I know that you're feeling safe now, she's in jail, and you're thinking to yourself, we can breathe easy.
Starting point is 00:24:50 If you're listening to this podcast live today, is the 21st of October, 2019. She is set to be released six days from now. You can only breathe easy for six more days. The 27th of October, she's set to be released. I, you know, it appears that she's got, she's been acting nice. Maybe they let her out early for good behavior. She goes in for 14. We count the travel time, only 13.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I think what's today is the 21st. She's supposed to get out of the 27th, which is what? The 27th is Sunday. You can't let somebody out of jail on a Sunday. So they're going to, you know, she's good behavior. We let her out on Friday. I bet she gets out on Friday.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Just give her the weekend. I bet she gets out on Friday because travel time back home and she's got to change and shower. She gets out of. on Friday the 25th. Guaranteed we're not going to want to do that on the weekend. Oh my gosh, I want that. I'll bet you.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I don't know what I'm going to bet you, but I'll bet you the listener something. It's always about the cash. You know, I can't stop thinking about the peeping Tom story that we did at the beginning of show. You're not sure of the story. You know, I mean, the guy who got caught peeping Tom, got the crap beat out of him.
Starting point is 00:26:10 They took him to the hospital and ended up dying. Now the guy that beat him up is being charged with manslaughter. And the question was from an email to me, convict or acquit. And, I mean, that's a tough one. That's a real tough one. Because at some point, you're beating this guy up. You got to know, right?
Starting point is 00:26:26 You got to know, he's outside your home. I know he was looking at you, do some bittance with the girlfriend. But, you know, it's, I mean, was he doing you harm? Was he, did you feel threatened by this guy standing outside your window with his pants down? I mean, apparently this guy did, right? But I mean, we're threatened enough to kill him? I don't think so. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:26:54 No, no. But I was just, I was, I keep reminding of the first time that I had a peeping Tom incident. I remember. Ha! It was an early fall morning. That was, uh, I was expecting. early at the establishment. Middle school.
Starting point is 00:27:22 And I left the house to on my way. I'm a couple blocks away from the house. I look across the street at the neighbor's house. You know, the couple that were just living together with the hot blonde that my parents hated. Her windows are open and she's getting ready for her day. I stopped dead at my tracks. dead at my tracks.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I watched. I left early every day. Disappointingly, though, the curtains were closed the rest of the time. So I think I got busted. I think I got busted. I think I was busted. It's like, look, the curtains are open. You're letting the fat kid stare at you across the street. What are you doing? Close the curtains.
Starting point is 00:28:17 It was worth a shot on the one day. I mean, it made my, made my, made more than a day. I'm still thinking about it. You like the fat kid with the lollipop for the corn dog in his mouth I'm just saying I was walking to school. I wasn't, I wasn't, I didn't sneak up into the house and the, the, the bushes at the, at the window. I just, I didn't, I didn't try to, you know, be a part of the business because there wasn't any business. She was just, I don't know, getting ready for work, naked, putting clothes on, just like people do every day in across America.
Starting point is 00:28:47 But I did leave early for several weeks after that. I'll tell you, that's a true, that's a true story. But again. It's just early. Curtain's closed. Sometimes in life is disappointing. Like, how come I didn't know? We talked about KFC having wings.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Sometimes life is disappointing. I knew KFC had wings now, right? You think, okay, well, KFC, you know, you don't expect them to be great wings. You don't expect it to be Buffalo Wild Wings, wings, but you figure KFC, you know, you got wings. feel like KFC maybe a couple extra crispies and some wings some mashed potatoes and gravy maybe a little mac and cheese
Starting point is 00:29:36 not that I've ever been to the KFC before but I know what my order will be and you think okay well and how come I just find out now that they had a deal with Stubhub for $75 I could order KFC through Stubhub and be and get part of their deal I could get 48 KFC wings delivered to my house for the next nine weeks and the 10th week I would get 96 wings delivered to my house because it's the playoffs, the football season,
Starting point is 00:30:13 for 75 bucks. That's a good deal. Do you mean Stubhub or Grubhub? No, it was Stubhubbub. The ticketing place? Are you questioning what I said? It just makes no sense why Stubhubhub would deliver you food. Grubhubbhub would make more sense.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Hey, did I say, hey, Taylor, does it make sense to you? Did I say that? I was questioning. I was just wondering, is that what I said? Because I don't recall saying that. And I don't recall saying, huh, it must be, can't be stubbub, right? That's not what the story says.
Starting point is 00:30:43 It's got to be grubhub. No, that's the story says stubbub. Oh, you're done questioning me now? The mic doesn't work, it's broken. It's okay? All right. All right. Relax.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I know other people in the room are willing to punch you in the head. I can't reach you through the glass. I'm just saying, I'm not telling you. telling people to do it. He's no Chris Cruz. No, he is not. Let's be clear about that. Although, that's not necessarily a bad thing either.
Starting point is 00:31:10 But we just, he's no Chris Cruz. There's no question about that. I'm just saying the deal was with KFC and Stubhub for the playoffs through, you know, through the rest of the football season. The next nine weeks. It's a lot to get to. Why don't I know about this? So they go on sale at 8 a.m. in the morning.
Starting point is 00:31:32 this past weekend and then boom an hour and 52 minutes later done we're close you know what we've done enough so to get those i mean each subscriber if you were to order that separately that's like four thousand bucks no four hundred dollars never mind not four thousand i was going to say i even questioned that i would have thank you i would even question where were you on that oh man i was told to shut up no i never said shut up you know that's fine believe that.

Those of you again listening live today, and I know that Chris Cruz isn't here today. So he's, you can't listen live.
Starting point is 00:33:34 You can't listen live. Taylor, that's your job. All right, so let's try this again. When we're just, when I say that, you know, for those of you listening live to the podcast today, Impossible. Nobody can listen to live. I just assume you're listening
Starting point is 00:33:47 the same day it's released. That's not live, though. Okay? I know what you're assuming, but I'm just saying it's, just play your role. I was not aware that you wanted me to be Chris Cruz as you.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I don't. Lord, I know you are far from being Chris Cruz. That's my point. But I'm just asking you to play your role. Is my running an acting school here now? So you can't listen live. It's impossible. That's what I want you to do.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Okay, that's good practice. Now let's try it. Let's try it live, okay? All right, this is take one. For those of you listening live to the podcast today. You can't listen live, it's impossible. I know, but for those that are listening live on October. It's the 21st of October 2019.
Starting point is 00:34:30 The Mercury One Ball is coming up on next weekend. Next weekend at the Omni here in Dallas, you need to be a part of it. It's really a fun event, and you still have time to try to win the Mercedes-Benz this year, too. A hundred bucks gets you a 10. ticket and you'll have the drawing. They'll pull out the hopper at the ball and they'll roll it around.
Starting point is 00:34:51 They'll pull out a number and that number will be whatever number I'm holding because I'm going to win the Mercedes this year. But you have an opportunity to win. So good luck and it's well worth your time. No question. Now, I saw also over the weekend that they're making such a big deal about a 20-hour flight, a 20-hour flight. Would you be willing to do that?
Starting point is 00:35:15 It would be the world's longest flight to go from New York to Sydney, Australia, nonstop. Takes about 19 and a half hours. Now, I've flown from, I mean, it's a long way to fly. It's a long time to be on an airplane. I've flown from Newark to Tel Aviv direct. And I think that was about 12. It seems to me that was, it was at least 12 from Newark to Tel Aviv.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And it seemed a lot longer because I flew from Tampa to Newark and then screwed around at Newark for two or three hours and then flew to Tel Aviv. So it was like 20 hours on an airplane. I'll tell you that. Although it really wasn't. I know it wasn't, but it was like 20 hours. And I've told my story about the whole Newark debacle, too, with L.L. when that was when Glenn and I first went to our very first trip to Israel. It was amazing.
Starting point is 00:36:14 So 12 hours was not a lot of fun. And I've flown on a separate airline that wasn't public. I think those are called private. And we flew from Teterboro in New Jersey to, we stopped off for refueling in Ireland and then we flew to and then we flew to Israel. We landed in Tel Aviv.
Starting point is 00:36:50 That was, you know, a few hours in the air as well. That was a fun flight. That was, we had a great time in Ireland when we landed there for refueling. On the way back, on that flight, actually, we flew from Tel Aviv and we were going to go to South Africa, but they had to stop in Egypt for refueling for whatever reason
Starting point is 00:37:09 and they were not happy about us landing in Egypt and I mean that's the time when they told us don't open your windows, keep the windows closed and if they board the plane the pilot came out and gave us all our passports and stuff and said if they board the plane, show them your ID, don't ask any questions, answer what they, if they ask you a question and answer
Starting point is 00:37:29 and then you don't move up. What are we going to get killed here? Just refueling? So, of course, I mean, I've got to open the window to see what's going on when we're on the ground. We're surrounded by military vehicles. And I closed the window real quick after that. I don't want to take one for the team. But they didn't board.
Starting point is 00:37:46 They didn't board. They just let us refuel, and off we went. And that was a good flight, too. And then flying back from Cape Town, I flew from Cape Town to London and London to Miami to Tampa. That was fun, too. Those were long flights, too. It's a long time to be on. If you want to go to Sydney, the way to do it is nonstop.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Just get on the plane and let's go. Let's get there. So you don't have to keep getting off and stop and try connecting flights and move on. Let's just go. Just get me there. Just get me there. So make it happen. You know what I've decided?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Don't kind of wants around. Just make it happen. Nonstop. Nonstop is the way to go. Nonstop and no checking. If you're taking a big flight, you've got to check your luggage. But if you're just taking short flights, no checking. Carry on and off the plane.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Let's go. On and off the plane. Don't mess around. Also, if you see in San Diego where a woman was living in her van with 300 of what's called her rats.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Okay, Pita, you and I are not going to agree on this. All right? Just be ready for this, Pita. I know you and I love each other, which is not true, but we are not going to love each other. So a woman is in her van in San Diego and her pet, and her pet rats.
Starting point is 00:39:07 She has over 300 in this van. I'm surprised it just doesn't already eat her. I mean, that's, look, that's got to be some kind of mental issue, right? She said, yeah, I just kind of got out of hand. You know, I had a couple of rats.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And one thing led to another. Yeah. They give birth like every four weeks or so. And they're breeding like rats, man. You ever heard that phrase? Yeah, that's because rats breed. Thank you. They produce like every four weeks
Starting point is 00:39:38 and they produce hordes. I mean, there's like walking dead hordes of rats. There's like a dozen little babies to every mother rat. It's agonizing. Rats are not pets. I want to be clear about this. Pita.
Starting point is 00:39:54 I know you and I. This is where we're going to disagree. I know that. I know that. I know that. I don't want to fight. But I will if I have to. Just know.
Starting point is 00:40:03 rats are not pets period yeah well you know I know they clawed the upholstery and they burned into the seats and you know what they don't a little bit of the engine wiring too so I couldn't get the whole van running or anything
Starting point is 00:40:18 they were just so cute little things and you know one thing to another I just got out of control so they made her she said she was willing to get rid of a few she's down to a couple hundred now okay stop this needs to stop
Starting point is 00:40:35 rats are not pets and people should not have them as pets and they would condemn housing that had that many rats how is this lady living in this van with this many rats no this cannot happen I don't care if she's whacked out of her mind I don't care if she's sane as the day is long
Starting point is 00:40:51 this could not happen cannot be do not let it happen oh rats are nasty I freaking hate rats so much this is where we You just, this is where Pete and we're going to fight. I hate rats.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I've had an ongoing battle with rats since I can remember. I remember the first round of rats I had in my garage in Florida. And I knew, you know, you'd open up the garage, you'd open up the door, and you'd hear the rat go, dittardee! And you're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:41:24 And so you try to catch it, right? So you'd go inside, you'd go inside, you'd close the garage, garage door and instead of going inside you'd open the door and you'd close it but you stay inside with the lights out you're still in the garage and then you hear and you click on the light you make a noise foo and i saw what what the rat was doing was he was running up the garage door spring jumping up to the top of the ledge that was above the garage door and then jumping up into the attic above the garage was where he was living so but what happened was all right so i catch him
Starting point is 00:42:03 right turn on the light click I close the door, then I hear, and he stops. He ran up the one spring, and along the top ledge above the garage door, he stops. And he turns and looks at me, smokes a cigarette, tosses the cigarette butt at me, then jumps up into the attic. Like, come and get me. Oh, it's on. It's on, my friend.
Starting point is 00:42:29 That's when Jeff Fisher invested in glue strips. I don't know if you have ever seen what glue strips do. but PETA will not be a fan and probably want them banned in every aspect of their being because you put the glue strips down and then the rat steps on the glue strip and then it gets stuck.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Now it's almost like it is a little torturous because rats will chew through their legs to try to get off of it but what happens is they try to get off and then they roll more onto the strip so they're still kind of half I personally like it
Starting point is 00:43:06 because it's rats and I don't like rats and they're not pets and I wish they all were to die but they could just be laying on the of the glue strip you know kind of half a lot you could you could be like saw really mess with these rats and leave a little video for them as they get stuck in those rat traps listen if I have to use them again I would
Starting point is 00:43:24 I do not have a problem with that at all man I do not like wraps now the last round of rats that I had I caught in big mouse traps I caught him you know you up and those rat traps work man you put a little bit of a little bit of sharp cheddar down and those
Starting point is 00:43:42 they come sneaking up and then and they're no I don't shoot I don't have to shoot them because I have a rat trap but they're right there right there for the pigging I know but they're already dead they're already dead man it breaks their neck so they're already got so you just got the rat got the head caught in there
Starting point is 00:44:00 and then the body and the tail they're not pets all right they're not rats are not pets. All right, I give you a million-dollar ideas all the time here on chewing the fat and this is not a million-dollar idea,
Starting point is 00:44:21 but it is a way for you to make a little bit of money. And by a little bit of money, I mean $1,000 and some prizes. And all you have to do is, well, reviews.org is looking for the ultimate Disney fanatic.
